Indigo dyeing writing indoors.

It should be said that it is the first time that I have come into contact with a talent who took the initiative to come over for a discussion, and this time Aizen did not put on a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but was very enthusiastic about the table of side dishes.

Tsunade, Kato Tsuna, Hachiki Sakushige, and the other three were outside drinking the northwest wind, while Orochimaru was able to go inside and talk to Aizen. But they didn't have much to complain about, after all, so far, Orochimaru was the first person to take the initiative to ask for access to Aizen.

Exposure to indigo dyeing sounds like an incredible word. After all, from the peddler's pawn to the Hokage and advisors, it seems that everyone can talk to Aizen. But they all knew very well that it was Aizen who took the initiative to show what they wanted, and it wasn't that they really came into contact with Aizen.

The person who actively wants to understand the shadow of Aizen and understand his techniques and ideas seems to be the only one so far.

Tsunade and Kato can almost conclude that Orochimaru's will to ignite in his mind probably does not exist. It can be regarded as a quasi-preparatory rebellion like Aizen.

But to be honest, after looking at the operation of Konoha in the past few years, everyone has no intention of pursuing it. And after Tsunade and Kato broke up, they began to gradually give up thinking, and they also found some elegant hobbies when fighting hemophobia.

For example, now the three of them are squatting next to the fish pond, watching with great interest as Hachiki Shuomao begins to tease the fish in the fish pond with breadcrumbs, although there is no action or understanding, but it can be regarded as self-satisfaction. Since you don't want to see the terrifying and weird side, then you can just not look at it.

That's what ninjas do, after all. Either turn a blind eye or see something incomprehensible. Indigo dyeing happens to account for both.

Then swing away.

It's just that compared to the three little goldfish in the backyard, Orochimaru was indeed shocked a lot.

Especially when it comes to the horror between life and death, which he thinks values the most, the conclusion given by Aizen shocked him but also made him a little unacceptable.

"Life and Death...... Is it an illusion? ”

"Yes, I think so."

Looking at the somewhat shocked Orochimaru in front of him, Aizen said with a smile.

"Because the concept of life and death is defined, there is no absolute view of life and death in the face of today's technology. You should be well aware of this. That's why I ask you whether you came for the sake of immortality, or if you had to pursue immortality for the sake of more truth. ”

"If you want to live forever, if you don't limit yourself to the definition, you need as many as you want. There is the spirit reincarnation technology that reincarnates all of your memories and knowledge, the immortal technology that combines your consciousness and chakra and integrates it into this world for transformation, the death technology that can replace the body to protect the soul, and a lot more. ”

"A narrow view of life and death doesn't suit us, Orochimaru-kun. Actually, you should understand this, for researchers like us, life and death are just a definition. Can a mass of cells that reproduce forever but have no intelligence be said to be alive? Can a creature with infinite wisdom that can be divided, but no flesh and blood, be said to be dead? Life and death, in the final analysis, is just a moral hoax. ”

"Ordinary people are incapable of facing the death of their relatives and friends, and they cannot recall or trace the past time, so they define life and death as an insurmountable chasm. But is that really the case for us? ”

“……”

Looking at the smiling Aizen Yousuke who was drinking tea, morally speaking, Orochimaru should now reprimand him for saying something deviant and weird.

But to be honest, in his heart, Orochimaru is applauding Aizen Sosuke's thoughts.

In fact, the problem of the puzzle of life and death had already taken root in Orochimaru's heart as early as when the second generation developed the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique.

He is one of the three ninjas, and he is good at developing ninjutsu, and he is qualified to view various sealing scrolls and secret arts. And the weirdest and most disturbing thing is not the mutual multiplication of the detonation charm, but the reincarnation of the filthy earth that goes with it.

Summoning the soul from the Pure Land and attaching it to a person's corpse or clay figurine can reveal the original appearance of the person when he was alive. The question then is, after the rebirth of the filthy earth, is that person alive or dead? Although it is said that the deceased should not disturb the sleep, it seems that it is not a good sleep with the mutual multiplication detonation charm, right?

The summoned soul of the deceased is indeed the deceased himself, and there is a corresponding technique to control it, and it can also be directly released from control. And with Kato Broken's spiritualization technique, it seems that the essence of the soul has been distorted and deformed a little bit in Orochimaru's eyes.

And as Aizen Sosuke's theory was thoroughly displayed in front of Orochimaru, he finally realized where the essence of the problem was. Life and death is indeed a hoax, and for their technicians, everything depends on how it is defined.

Objectively speaking, life and death in the ninja world is nothing more than the death of the body that causes the soul to be freed from bondage and then go to the Pure Land in another way.

But is the will really dissipated? I'm afraid not. Reincarnation is a matter of the obvious.

So, can the transition from one state to another be considered death?

"In a way, if you look at it from a higher perspective, it's a bit like a butterfly. Break free from the shell of the flesh and soar in the sky. And this is something that the larvae can't do anyway. ”

Looking at the big snake pill who seemed to want to say something, but suppressed his thoughts and lowered his head to think, Aizen Yusuke showed a rare affirmative expression.

"If you are not limited to the concept of life and death, you can find that death in this world may be a process of turning into a butterfly. We cannot deny the existence of the Pure Land, but we are ignorant of it. It's like a butterfly that a bug can't comprehend in flight. ”

"So, I ask you whether the pursuit of immortality is for the sake of immortality, or whether it is for the pursuit of more truth. After all, from the former, you only need to break free from your physical body to get what you understand to be immortal. By definition, it may be easier and faster to do so. But, I guess you're not the superficial kind of person. ”

"Life and death are terrifying, and people are always afraid of what they don't understand. But when you realize that it is not something dangerous or dangerous, your true thoughts will come to your mind. So, what is your truest thought for Orochimaru-kun right now? I'm sure you've got the exact results that are. ”

"Well, thank you very much for Mr. Aizen's explanation."

Orochimaru looked at the man in front of him and said convincingly.

In fact, if there is no real evidence, Orochimaru will definitely take Aizen Sosuke's words as a fart.

But now, the results of his technique are undoubtedly perfect. The dead Kato appeared in front of him in a body and soul that was both complete in body and soul. There is also a rotten flag wood Shuomao.

Both of them are physically intact and full of souls, indistinguishable from normal ninjas. In a way, Orochimaru could feel that their power was perhaps much stronger than it was during the ninja period.

And many of Aizen's research reports also show that there is really nothing wrong with his research. He has the technology to strengthen the soul, and he also has the technology to intercept people from the Pure Land and drag them back halfway. Combined with Orochimaru's own research, the answer is obvious.

His fears, his sufferings, from the very beginning, were merely hallucinations that were still confined to the individual human being.

As long as you think about it from a real level, there may not be so much torture and pain. If you want the technique of immortality, without limiting your thoughts, dozens of methods instantly appeared in Orochimaru's mind.

But until then, he vetoed it on a variety of grounds. For example, there is a crisis, the path is not clear, and I am not sure if it is oneself or something, but now, human beings themselves are living beings in the process of replacement, and the real maturity seems to be the appearance of the Pure Land.

The soul that came out of the Pure Land has infinite chakra, complete memory and reason, and has the pinnacle of physical body and mature combat system. No matter how you look at it, the soul of the Pure Land is the most mature result. However, Orochimaru doesn't need such a thing. What he wanted to see was not the end of the Pure Land.

"What I want to pursue is the truth of this world. I want to look into something more. ”

"Then, we're companions, Orochimaru-kun."

Looking at the big snake pill in front of him who finally said what he thought in his heart, Aizen nodded with relief.

"I know you have your own ideas, so I'm not going to recruit you to be my subordinate. As long as there is technical communication at that time, there are times when there is more contact. ”

"Oh? You're not going to solicit me? I thought you'd be eager to recruit me to your side. ”

"Of course I'm not going to solicit you."

Aizen smiled and said:

"Geniuses often cannot be subservient to others, and if they are guided by mediocrity, geniuses will be dusted. And being guided by another genius will sadly become his shadow. Because unobstructed sunlight allows real saplings to thrive. So I'm looking forward to your future, Orochimaru-kun. I'm not going to solicit you. It's an endorsement of you. ”

"That's really ...... Grateful, Aizen. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. They all saw sincere feelings in each other's eyes.

They are indeed in some way a journey. Although Aizen is already ahead of the curve, Orochimaru doesn't necessarily have to be left behind.

Guided geniuses tend to go the path of homogenization, but geniuses in the wild can always bloom in different colors. Orochimaru looked at the smiling Aizen in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

It's just that before that emotion could be said and became words, everyone's hearts suddenly burst out.

As if sensing something, they instinctively look upward.

“…… Isn't this the appearance of a talent coming back, mirror? ”

I'm so gratified.

Looking at the white figure like a god standing in the gray sky, the corners of Aizen's mouth tugged at a smile.
