People in Naruto, I'm Aizen

Chapter 22 Namikaze Minato

Why Aizen looks forward to Konoha is because it is not only the only place in the world he observed that has a well-established education system and related industries, but also the only place with plans for the future.

Unlike other ninja villages, Konoha's operations and planning are better than nothing and often go backwards, but they are still planned.

Although the first generation Hokage's operations may seem bizarre and full of fantasy to future generations, in Aizen's eyes, it was indeed a good start.

He gave ninja children the opportunity to be exposed to education, and also allowed them to start thinking about life and themselves.

Compared with the family education of the Warring States Period and the distorted world of killing each other, taking tasks, and killing each other, today's Ninja Village era has undoubtedly made a lot of progress. Talents that were originally buried will gradually appear.

And Namikaze Minato is one of the geniuses Aizen once inspected.

It's different from Urahara Kisuke's wisdom of ghosts and gods who can transcend eras by just doing anything. It's also different from Nirvana's research that doesn't pursue appearance but pursues essence. It's even different from Aizen's pursuit of transcendence to reach the realm of gods.

The understanding is also different.

Namikaze Minato has his own way of adapting to this world. The things he studies are the most suitable for this era.

If I have to say it, Namikaze Minato is a person who can survive at any time and exudes light and heat.

Smart but not obvious, tough but gentle. In addition, the teacher who led the team was one of the Sannin and had a close relationship with the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. As a civilian ninja, he relied on his own understanding and knowledge to reach Konoha.

The view from the top. And through his words and deeds, he did not make those with vested interests feel disgusted and repelled.

Sitting on the wooden bench, Namikaze Minato looked at the expectant Aizen Sosuke and nodded seriously.

"I won't forget it. My dream is to become Hokage and change the ninja world. It's the same as what I said at the beginning."

"..."

"It's just that I think she looks very dazzling, and people in the village admire her. I want to be someone who can stand beside her with my head held high, that's all."

After all, from generation to generation, there must always be a few new faces to avoid being criticized.

Looking at the blushing little sun of Konoha, Aizen smiled, pushed up his glasses, and said gently:

"Happiness is the illusion of ability. Only when your ability can accomplish what you want, you will feel happiness. But when you are immersed in this illusion for too long, when you find that your ability is no longer enough to cover happiness

Only then will you feel the pain."

Looking at Namikaze Minato who was beside him with emotion, Aizen showed a gentle smile on his face.

As for Aizen himself, although it seems to be optional, it is not. Because he himself represents a part of Konoha. He is one of the incarnations of Konoha's power, so you basically don't need to worry about him.

This is obviously not something that normal humans can do. On the contrary, Namikaze Minato's resume is more reliable.

"okay!"

Because he knew that Namikaze Minato was different from him in that he came up purely by relying on his own talent and excellent qualities.

Although he did explain his thoughts with emotion, he was a little frustrated that his elder brother was so indifferent.

Just looking at the candidate who might become Hokage in Konoha in the future, Aizen still maintained a gentle and decent smile on the surface, but he felt that Namikaze Minato had a strange, seemingly vague closeness to him.

feel.

Okay, the noodles are here, no need to say more.

For the Sandaime Hokage, this kind of nagging was, on the one hand, maintaining his friendly appearance, but on the other hand, it seemed like he was just showing his authority.

"There is no need to refute anything. In fact, the whole village knows about the relationship between you two. As Konoha's consultant agent, it is natural for me to have this knowledge."

After gently thanking the Ichiraku boss who served two bowls of noodles, Aizen picked up his chopsticks and ate the Ichiraku ramen, blocking Namikaze Minato's rebuttal with his actions.

"Speaking of it, brother, you know that when I was a child, I was weak and speechless. But Kushina was different. She was like a storm or a beacon, smiling like that,

It can shine in my heart. I really don’t have any wrong thoughts, I just want her to shine."

'Is it because of what happened when I was a child that you instinctively trust me...I see.'

"Brother Aizen?!"

As a true Hokage, the Sandaime seems to like to call people over for meetings to discuss issues. The reason is probably because he suspects that his recent judgment may have caused a series of turmoil in Konoha. However, this is not good for Namikaze Minato and Aoi.

It makes absolutely no sense to dye yourself.

"You may not be able to hug your lover when you pick up the sword, but when you put down the sword, you can only face the cruel reality."

Then appreciate the ugliness that other people have caused because of themselves.

"Brother Aizen, it's been almost five years since we last met, right?"

"Are you trying to keep up with the so-called spicy red pepper? If you keep working hard, you'll be able to stand by her side soon."

Of course, Aizen knew very well that this might not work.

"Your face is almost lumpy. And Boss Yile seems to be very unhappy."

"What's up?"

Just tens of minutes later, the two of them arrived at the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

"...Actually, my feelings for Kushina don't seem to be like that."

"That's good. Oh, right."

Even to a certain extent, compared to Aizen Soyousuke's almost unreplicable route, Namikaze Minato's is the real promotion channel in the eyes of others. After all, no one can guarantee that he will do good things for so many years.

Don't offend anyone and do everything right.

"So, you must grow into Hokage, Minato."

And Aizen did it, not only did he convince everyone perfectly, but in the long run he did the right thing, and even spread his reputation throughout the Ninja Village.

"And when the illusion of happiness is broken and faced with the reality of powerlessness, the intensity of the pain will completely defeat a person's will to survive. I don't want you to become like that."

"...Brother Aizen, can you say a word?"

"I don't think there's anything good to say. After all, there's nothing more interesting than seeing young men and women being confused about their feelings, isn't it?"

He has a close relationship with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, his own strength is also very outstanding, and his reputation among the people is quite good. If he has certain achievements on the battlefield, he can even compete with the Sannin. And if his achievements are particularly great, he can even compete with them.

The Sannin also need to give in.

As for Namikaze Minato's seemingly sluggish look, Aizen took out a tissue and wiped the stains at the corners of his mouth, then looked at Namikaze Minato who hadn't eaten any noodles yet.

"And I respect her very much. I think she is a really independent girl, different from other girls I have seen. She will not pursue anything else, she is just passionate about Konoha and Hokage.

, as if it were me.”

"Ever since I became a chuunin, it seems like we have been missing each other. Now that I have become a jounin, we have no time to see each other at all. Five years have passed in a flash."

"It's just that before you say these wonderful things, I hope you can remember something."

A normal civilian ninja would find a good teacher and become a ninja, and then rely on dangers and opportunities to achieve great success. In the end, he would be both beautiful and famous, and he would feel like he was promoted.

"..."

Minato Namikaze, who had been talking for a long time, said a little depressed as he looked at Aizen Sosuke who was eating noodles.

As for why this is the case, it's because Aizen has always insisted on persuading people with reason, and always tells others the correct truth very seriously.

Although they haven't seen each other for five years, and he is a Jonin and Aizen is only a Chuunin, it seems that he has nothing to do with this cheap brother from the beginning to the end.

But when faced with Sosuke Aizen's attitude of saying, "I don't want to hear your explanation at all, I just want to eat noodles," I could only sigh with a red face and eat the noodles dully.

"Boss! Here are two bowls of Ichiraku Ramen!"

"A-Brother Aizen?!"

"Yes. It has been almost five years. The good boy who begged me to borrow books has now become a Jounin of Konoha, and is still the most promising ninja in the eyes of the Sandaime Hokage. Even I can't help feeling a little emotional.

"

"What you said, compared to me, I'm still far behind."

After taking two bites of ramen, Namikaze Minato sat on the chair and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and said seriously.

"Not even close?"

Konoha's class has not solidified to an unimaginable level, but it is blocked everywhere. There must be some truly outstanding people who want to be included in Konoha's system, and Aizen knows very well that Namikaze Minato is that candidate.

Looking at the short blond hair that was almost the same as when he was a child, and the pure smile as warm as the sun, Aizen pushed up his glasses and listened to the ramblings of the Third Hokage with him.

He enthusiastically asked the boss for two bowls of Ichiraku Ramen. Namikaze Minato looked at Aizen sitting next to him with emotion.

Everyone can only marvel, admire and look up to Aizen Sosuke, but when looking at Namikaze Minato, they feel as if he is right next to them. As long as they work hard, it seems that they can become a star jounin like Namikaze Minato.

"……Eh?"

"...Yes, Brother Aizen."

"..."

What a bad person.

"I...forget it."

Looking at the noodles that were beginning to become a little stiff, and under the indifferent gaze of Boss Ichiraku, Namikaze Minato could only stuff the noodles into his mouth without tears.

Fortunately, Ichiraku Ramen does live up to its reputation. Even if it is a bit lumpy, you can still taste the sweet and mellow taste. Just like the Kushina he just mentioned.
