In the ninja world, there are actually as many ninjutsu and illusions as there are to manipulate the five senses.

Whether it is the Blood Inheritance Limit or the Secret Technique, or some special Secret Method or Place, you can control the five senses of the person and twist it into what you want.

However, no matter who does it, no matter who does it, there is no sense of horror that makes people's palms sweat. Once Kato Broken and Uchiha Mirror also felt that it was just an illusion, as long as they recognized the reality, it would be fine.

However, at this moment, Aizen Yousuke was sitting there steadily, eating snacks and drinking sake to admire the moon, but it made them feel a kind of horror from the heart.

Ninjas from the shadows and roots protect and monitor from various high positions and even underground.

Everyone was sure that Aizen was in the mood at this moment, so they picked up the wine table, made some side dishes and sake, and began to admire the moon.

But each of them didn't notice that behind Aizen, right in the middle of the writing room, two ninjas with Konoha forehead guards were glaring at him.

"In your current body, it must be very hard to fight against the instinct of refining chakra on the one hand, and to find the imprint of your soul on the other, right?"

Leaning on the porch pillar very relaxedly, Aizen sighed as he looked at the slightly ice-blue full moon and looked at the two people behind him.

"But the hard work was worth it. Only by constantly sharpening can we find something that belongs to us. ”

"A sharpened blade hurts, and a long time of speculation only rusts. Seeing the enemy clearly and seeing yourself clearly are also very precious qualities. ”

"Actually, I wouldn't mind if you two let out the swastika. It's a good thing to hide your strength, but you also have to be able to hide it. At least in my eyes, your actions are like elephants hiding in a china shop, and even if I try to look away, it's a test of my acting skills. ”

“…… You mean, it's all in your plan? ”

Suppressing the various malicious and terrifying speculations that had sprung up in his mind, the Uchiha Kagami took a breath and raised his courage to glared at Aizen Sosuke who was carrying a small wine glass in front of him.

"Whether it's our actions or our efforts, you know everything. You've been monitoring us? ”

"Not really."

Facing the glaring glare of the Uchiha ninja, Aizen shook his head very calmly and looked at the small pale blue flowers in the garden that had condensed rain mist and dew.

"I used to love monitoring other people's lives, but now I don't. I prefer to expect a surprise. It's just that your thoughts and actions are too straightforward, and I'm just kindly reminding you. ”

"Who would believe your deception?"

"But it's true. If it were me before, I'm afraid I wouldn't care what you think. But now it is different, people have the courage to rebel against the gods. In the face of the flowers on the cliff, there are also people who dare to take a step forward. You're all famous ninjas too, so how can I not expect anything from you? ”

“…… You're too arrogant, Aizen. ”

"Arrogant, huh? It would be ridiculous to think of the facts as arrogance. ”

Facing the ninja who was very unconvinced by the first two, but was extremely respectful on the surface, Aizen shook his head and stated it very flatly.

"I sincerely hope that you will be able to show a different color. Taking a step into the unknown is courage. However, it is reckless to take a step towards death without knowing anything about yourself. ”

“……”

"Refuse to understand? There's no way around it, after all, it's really too hard for you. You can't even understand courage. ”

Facing the two ninjas who clearly had a tendency to be uncooperative, Aizen Sosuke sighed, pushed his glasses, and turned his head to continue to look at the beautiful full moon.

The soft moonlight sprinkled on his cheeks, adding a touch of mystery to his already charming countenance.

It didn't look like some kind of liar saying it casually, but it was full of some real power.

"I actually despise those who think they are smart and surrender and admit defeat."

Admiring the beautiful moonlight, Aizen opened his mouth and whispered:

"Talking about sacrifice and dedication as a joke, mocking the efforts and worth of others, as if you had won something."

"Whether they mock or ridicule, they are weak. It's just a weak person who flows with the tide. Because they don't have the strength to act, and they don't have the courage to see themselves as strong. Only by derogating others can you feel that you are right. ”

"The behavior of the weak is to see avoidance as courage. Treat what is good for you as true. Then mock the way others live, and use this as a basis to give themselves the confidence to humble themselves. I used to think that this was the case with all living things in the world, but I was actually wrong. ”

"The reason why human beings can survive is that they have the 'courage' to walk on knowing the reality of the world."

"I think the courage to recognize the suffering of reality and then live with enlightenment, and the courage to recognize the root cause of the problem and decide to solve it with the death of oneself or someone else."

“…… Are you laughing at us for not having the courage to go to Yellow Springs with you, Aizen. ”

Hearing this, the Uchiha Mirror still didn't hold back, and stood up, glaring at the figure who was drinking alone in the moonlight.

"You're laughing at us for not understanding your thoughts at all, you're laughing at Konoha Village's thoughts, you're laughing at the will of fire, and you're laughing at us for not having the courage to die with you, can I understand that?"

"Not really. On the contrary, I think it's a very sensible thing to do. Because you don't understand what courage I'm talking about. ”

Looking at the Uchiha mirror with clenched teeth, Aizen explained very seriously:

"Because it's not actually difficult to make the decision to die. The flesh is in the brain, inciting people's hearts, not knowing the consequences, arrogant, this is the death brought by others, and it has nothing to do with one's own heart. ”

"People who have no actual feeling of being alive, who have no love or hatred of life, are the same with death. Their death is not the courage to face the truth, but the hope of others, or their own desire to die to escape the problem. ”

Therefore, courage is not called courage if you think you can use death to escape problems. Instead, after recognizing one's own position, having loved people and hopes, and understanding the sweetness and pain of life, he chooses to solve the problems of himself and the world side by side with death, which is the 'courage' of stepping into fate. ”

"And most ninjas, on the other hand, don't have that kind of real courage. It's just a death that he chooses by virtue of his flesh and blood after being blinded by the so-called righteousness and responsibility. You don't think much about the future, you don't think about your clan and society, you just think that your position, your status, and the words of others can kill you. It's as if death solves everything. ”

"It's an escape. Death can solve one's own troubles, but it will not solve one's problems. It's like what you just wanted to do. It's okay to die for a hundred, but what about the aftermath? Have you ever thought about how to solve me once and for all? ”

“……”

Although it was a shame to let the enemy remind them, it was clear that the two of them had not thought about it.

Just looking at Lan Zhan's calm face drinking fine wine, admiring the bright moon, and talking to them casually, while ignoring the surrounding darkness and roots, it made the two of them feel extremely terrifying.

They really wanted to solve their own problems, because they couldn't think of how to solve Aizen Sosuke. Even in a sense, Aizen can already represent Konoha's will at the moment, how to solve him? Self-anti-self?

As soon as he thought of this, the Uchiha Kagami's fists couldn't help but clench and make a creaking sound.

"Can't think of it? This is a matter of course. Because your education and life don't have these things. ”

Looking at the two worried ninjas, Aizen let out a sigh of pity.

"If you don't even understand what is really alive, how can you say courage? I just hope that the two of you can find a reason for your life from Konoha today. ”

"And after all the questions have been answered in my heart, it is clear and the 'courage' to face me. Because of this, your swastika and the beginning are simulacrums, not real ones. ”

"If your mind is not clear, how can you get a true understanding? What you have now is the false hatred and hope that I have given you. Only when we truly understand and become aware in life can we get our own truth. ”

"That's your own soul."

“……”

There is no such thing as a biographical novel, some kind of story that can be understood at one point, and will be solved after thinking about it.

Uchiha Kagami and Kato Tsukami were still correct and meaningless hostile to Aizen Sosuke in front of them, and the left ear went in and out of the right ear for what he said.

The words of the enemy do not need to be understood, nor do they need to be heard. This is the educational philosophy of ninjas, and it is also the logic of their actions. If the enemy is understood, it will be shaken, and wavering will lead to death.

This is common knowledge in the ninja world.

It's just that this common sense is very heart-wrenching for the knowledge that Aizen has gained from the two worlds.

"Don't you understand, it's also natural...... This is the only reason why I am doing it myself. ”

"You are not really living in this world. Only the living will enjoy the beauty of life, and the dead will not be able to experience it. ”

"Even if I try to describe to you how charming the night and fog and rain are today, you will not understand. Just take it as a mockery and ridicule from above me. That's no fun. ”

"By the way, Shuo Maojun will wake up tomorrow. Temporarily accept the position of captain of the 11th team, I hope the two can accept it. ”

“‘…… Got it. ’”

The short response made the voices of the two almost merge into one.

And in the next moment, there was no longer the figure of the two white feathers in that area.

Although they are subordinates and manipulated, they no longer want to listen to the so-called crooked teachings of Aizen.

"Still can't understand it......"

For this failed conversation, Aizen Sosuke could only shake his head and sigh.

The ninjas of Konoha are ninjas no matter how they are said, and they are not the same as the Grim Reaper or the samurai. Not being elegant, ignoring the world, just for the mission and profit, this is the goal that ninjas were designed to do from the beginning.

But how can people be sealed in one place forever? How can you be silent forever? There will always be someone who will take that step, tear open the curtain of falsehood, and then try to reach out to the truth and the world.

Only, maybe not from here.

"It's not that I can't understand it, but it's still sad. After all, I'm just a Grim Reaper, just a human now. ”

Aizen shook his head, picked up a drink thief, and looked at the moonlight with a little sake.

And at this moment, the sound of walking suddenly came from outside the door.

Kakashi Hachiki walked in with a mask and a cold expression. Walked straight in the direction of the training ground. And Aizen also greeted him when he saw it.

"Kakashi-kun, would you like to have a bite to eat?"

"Huh? No. ”

"Hahaha, what a pity. It's so beautiful. ”

"I might as well exercise when I have time for appreciation."

"Well, that's true."

Looking at Kakashi, who had a disgusted look on his face and ran directly to another courtyard to start training, Aizen shook his head with a smile and looked at the full moon in the sky.

The moon was in the mist, and it was indeed beautiful.

The beauty made Aizen can't help but pinch the wine glass and take another sip.

It's just that although there are several cups on the tray, in the end he drinks alone.

"Is it lonely......"

Looking up at the full moon, Aizen leaned against the porch pillar and poured himself a drink, and once again drank a glass of sake with the wine thief.
