People in Naruto, I'm Aizen

Chapter 74 Sweet Dreams

Konoha forty-five years, April.

It was as if the whole world had agreed, but the promised war never came.

Those cutting-edge technologies and appalling war machines are like legends circulating among the people of various countries, but most of them are not war news.

As if they had agreed to bloom the most brilliantly before the world was destroyed, the literary and artistic world of the entire ninja world could be said to be in full bloom. In just a few months, classics and various classics that shocked the entire ninja world were produced.

There are endless novels and stories.

A typical example is the updated "Legend of Cosmic Courage" written by Aizen himself. It uses the romantic practitioner Ichigo as the male protagonist and tells the story of overcoming difficulties and adventures in the stardust of the universe. There are also other products produced by Konoha Village.

"The Legend of Naruto", said to be written by Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, has far greater sales than Legend of Space Courage, because the latter one is more like a pornographic book.

Moreover, discussions and theories about the peace of the ninja world spread from Konoha are also rapidly fermenting in the other four countries. I don’t know where I got various pirated books and photocopies privately published by vendors everywhere in the world.

Popular. Moreover, Elder Shimura Danzo is also extremely generous, often exempting himself from royalties for damaged publishing houses, and using it to subsidize some possible business disputes and risks.

Because according to the original words of Danzo Elder, he doesn't care about money, he only cares about when peace will come to this world.

However, there are only some mysterious rumors about the real reason why the war in this world has come to a standstill. Some familiar faces no longer appear, and some traces of pain are spreading secretly.

Some romantic and illusory stories about pain, redemption, and the moon seemed to have put a crossbar on the gradually rotating machinery of the Ninja World War, forcing the war machinery that had already started to get stuck in the middle of the road.

Let scientific research and publicity run at high speed.

Even in Konoha, it is not always the scene of joy and loud gongs and drums. For some reasons, the atmosphere in Konoha has become a bit bleak now. In April, when spring and summer are gradually beginning, a person watching

The man with a sad face was walking on the road of Konoha Village, which seemed extremely rare in this afternoon.

Somewhat apologetically, Kato lit a stick of incense at the shrine. Looking at the letter of severance of father-daughter relationship left by his daughter in the room, Kato sighed with some unknown emotions.

His son dedicated his life to the will of fire that he could not understand, his daughter found a happy family, and his wife also said before she died that she did not regret marrying her. It seemed that her life should be satisfied.

right.

But when he forced himself to look at the words on those beautifully bound books, he found that he didn't seem to know many words.

"If there are some other works that you don't like, look, this is a romantic novel from Suna Ninja Village, Bee-waisted Princess. Look, there are pictures here. Are you sure you don't want to buy a few?"

"Dad, don't sleep! The war is over! I'm back!"

Looking at the man in front of him, the store manager opened his mouth in surprise.

The store manager, who was bored in the empty store, looked at the man who was walking down the street with his head lowered and dragging his feet, and suddenly said hello passionately.

It's really strange. Why would I, a semi-literate person, buy so many books? In the past, I always let my son read these things and then tell them to me.

"..."

This is a ritual.

After reminiscing for dozens of minutes, I finally put the mattress and bedding together as if expecting something, and slowly fell asleep in the incense-filled atmosphere.

"I remember that you are a very family-oriented man. What's going on? What happened?"

"Ah, no..."

Because only here...

"Is this like this..."

But I was too embarrassed to just go back and get a refund. After all, that’s the kind of person I am. My wife said the same thing when we got married.

"My daughter, she got married and refused to see me again. As for my son, he was killed by Yun Ren at the border some time ago. My wife gave birth to a baby some time ago, but it was difficult to give birth and both of them died..."

"Please take a look, sir! This is the latest collection of Master Danzo. The first volume of 'Necessary Evil' has been revised by Director Aizen. It is now on sale in the entire ninja world. You will definitely know this, sir."

needs!"

This seems to be enough for a girl. Although her daughter no longer recognizes herself as her father, she is still living well in this world.

He lit a strange, mottled smoke column that he had treasured for a long time next to him.

At this time in the past, the children who had just finished school at the ninja school would always say something like "I have read it a long time ago", and then read the news and words on it aloud with a newspaper. My daughter looked at it with an expression of admiration.

My brother is very yearning for the colorful world recorded above. My wife is cooking in the kitchen, and the rice bowl she makes is particularly fragrant.

But it’s not that I don’t like this kind of life. Some people also like the mud. They just want to go back and be happier. It seems right.

At that time, the children just looked at them with smiles, and there were no quarrels or hardships later.

Even when passing by the bookstore, the new student who seemed to be a work-study student pulled Kato's sleeves enthusiastically and kept saying some dizzying words. Kato staggered,

I feel like my brain is about to explode.

Peace, ideas, and the world, if you don't understand these things yourself, it doesn't matter.

After all, if you are a civilian, not even a ninja, why would you buy something like this? You should be humiliating yourself.

"This, this is it."

So, he has one last solution.

After lingering on the spot for a long time, he replied in a low voice.

This seems to be enough.

In other words, for people who know him, this kind of thing is almost impossible.

Looking at his son standing outside the yard, waving his forehead protector, showing a smile that was more important to him than the sun, and his daughter returning with his son-in-law beside him, the man couldn't help but leave two lines on his face.

Hot tears.

Facing the shop owner who stood there blankly, not knowing what to say, Kato smiled awkwardly, then continued to huddle up and lower his head, and walked towards home.

Only then can you get everything you want.

Unlike those people, and those shining people, life is like mud.

After all, we can't blame her, because Kato is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have the ability to become rich, and his family can't afford to eat good food all day long. And I heard that the man she married is a recent Konoha man.

One of the emerging nobles with a good reputation.

He opened the window, pointed it at the moonlight, and clapped his hands at the smoke column that exuded the wonderful scent of incense. Kato sat on the tatami and began to recall his life.

"Then I'll leave first."

Under the warm greeting of the salesman, Kato walked back home with a confused look on his face. He looked at the books piled on the table, then at his empty wallet, and began to feel dazed.

"ah……"

Kato took out a cigarette from his arms.

"You skipped work? That's true. You're exhausted from your job all day long, so it doesn't matter if you skip work. There's no one to replace you anyway."

What is the saying in the village? Keep moving forward, keep making progress, and look forward. If you are always immersed in sadness, even your wife will laugh at you.

Just some scraps and wild vegetables that others don't want will always taste sweeter than those delicacies from the mountains and seas. Every time she talks about this, she will always smile and hit her head, and then say that the children are watching.

"No, no..."

This was not because he suddenly had some idea of ​​luxury goods, nor because he suddenly seemed to have any special ideas, but for a simpler and purer reason.

Maybe this is life.

But I am not qualified to have such a life.

"..."

"And this one! The latest novel written by Mr. Aizen! As long as you have courage, even the dark universe can shine with dazzling light!"

My daughter has always had a cold temperament and no family affection. But in the past, my wife was still trying to educate her, and my son, as an elder brother, could also prevent her from going astray. But as time goes by,

After a brief encounter with Yun Ren and the death of his wife, his daughter completely left his side.

The man named Kato who was greeted was trembling and evasive, not daring to look into the uncle's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"No, no, I just quit..."

Not everyone in Konoha is as dejected as Kato, there are more people who are running around and working hard for their lives with a determined expression, and there are also some people who are beaming and feel that they are living in a good era.

She has good face, but no ability. She is a childhood sweetheart and she really can't stand it anymore. Even if she has done good deeds before marrying herself, the girl who has always been smiling is now only left in the shrine.

smile.

Is it because I don’t work hard enough? Or is it like they said, that often there is nothing you can do?

"Hey, isn't this Kato? Did you get off work so early?"

"Quit? Eh? Are you quitting? Don't you still have a daughter and a son? And a pregnant wife?"

He knows that the real world is gradually getting better, and he also knows that the world is looking better and better. But what does this kind of thing have to do with him?

That's enough. He no longer wants to do things like mustering up the courage to take the next step.

'If this is a dream...let me never wake up.'

After hugging his somewhat uncomfortable son, the memories in the man's mind dissipated like a sea of ​​smoke and gradually merged into this perfect dream.
