Chapter 20

The atmosphere of war between the five major powers became more and more intense.

The business of the merchants has also begun to be affected, and even the commercial circulation of Konoha has begun to stagnate.

Although it is the most powerful of the five major countries, Konoha relies on relatively primitive commerce. Once the circulation is blocked, there will often be extremely strong price increases.

But this momentum was stopped by Aizen Soyousuke, who had foreseen it for a long time.After expounding on business and confidence to the Third Hokage and Danzo, Aizen obtained a part of the temporary command of Anbe and Nebu, and severely cracked down on bad traders.

Of course, as expected, there are some big families behind many vendors.Although Aizen Soyousuke strongly advocated that they should be dealt with equally, but this is just talk in the final analysis.Many families rely on this to live, how could it be possible for you to deal with them all.

This time, the small incident was nothing more than that. Although the price was maintained at a relatively high price, everyone was still able to accept it.

The ninjas of the big family also began to have the rudiments of commercial alliances, and began to call on friends to carry out the most primitive commercial pricing behavior.

In it, the third generation played the majesty of Hokage to maintain the unity of Konoha, and made the will of fire burn more prosperously.No matter how you look at it, it is a happy situation for all.

Of course, as for the price that has been raised by nearly three times, it is naturally within an acceptable range.As for saying that it is too expensive to die, there is a charity reception center opened by Lan Ran, where you can study, work and eat at the same time, anyway, you will not die of hunger.

At this moment when prices are soaring, ordinary people generally tighten up their consumption, and only some precarious ninjas drink to their heart's content in taverns.

But amidst the hustle and bustle, there were three young and middle-aged men in haori sitting in a corner.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in Konoha. After all, what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom. Aizen Soyousuke's upright look in haori has become a role model for many people. Apart from ninjas, there are Many passers-by and children like to wear white haori to swagger through the city.

After all, this thing looks handsome and stylish after wearing a black inner lining.Although they used things like long knives and long swords that didn't fit the temperament of ninjas, how to put it, many people didn't fight for ninjas.

It's just that the three people drinking here are wearing haori that are a little different from ordinary people.

Two, six, eleven, three numbers are written behind them.

Higan flower, Uchiha, short sword, three different types of medals are embellished on the back of their haori.

And the people present didn't realize how these three people were eating and drinking in the private room, they just drank and punched outside without much noise.

If it weren't for the waiters who brought food to them from time to time, I'm afraid they would even think that the existence of these people was just an illusion.But even so, no one noticed the strangeness here.

Whether it's the monitoring ninja or the waiter delivering food, the three figures in haori are just like normal passengers, sitting by the window and looking at the scenery outside naturally, feeling a certain person's love. fear.

"Transforming the soul body, simulating cognition, even if we appear directly, there is no way to directly recognize us."

"Aizan's technology is really scary."

The man with the Uchiha Uchiha fan crest and the moon-white long-haired man looked at each other, neither of which looked particularly good-looking.

In fact, Aizen doesn't have any secret base at all. His research facilities are very bright and placed directly in the shadow of Konoha, and all personnel can come in and out at will, as long as they don't harm Konoha's buildings and people. .

At the very beginning, everyone felt that Aizan's arrogance had finally reached the point of madness. They went out and stood outside in this body. Ten out of ten people shouted that the monster was resurrected, and then brought a bunch of jounin and hokage to them. Take a beating for blue dye.But in hindsight, they thought too much.

Even if you wear conspicuous haori, your appearance is extremely clear and obvious, but if you can't see it, you can't see it, and if you don't recognize it, you can't recognize it.

Coupled with the so-called soul-transforming body they use that can carry the soul, and even eat and drink water to taste the taste, they have a complete awe of the existence of Aizen in their hearts.

This kind of thing is almost like a horror movie. Behind the normal life of Konoha, there is actually a shadow kingdom.The unnoticed person who passed by them was probably a person who had been dead for many years and was resurrected or something.

But because of this, they were able to look at Konoha again from various angles.

"Sakumo, do you have any ideas?"

"Ok?"

"I just saw you eating and drinking all the time, don't you have any special ideas?"

Seeing Sakumo Hatake sitting silently on the other side, eating and drinking wine, the other two asked curiously:

"Aizan will never care about our thoughts and actions, but we can't give up. For the future of Konoha and everyone, do you have any special ideas?"

"Nothing else, I was just thinking... Is Aizen really a villain?"

"?"

Looking at the decadent middle-aged man, Kato Dan and Uchiha Kagami were stunned for a moment.

what?
They don't know what this man is talking about, isn't it obvious that Aizen is a villain?

Soliciting others to infiltrate Konoha, using his influence to weaken the power of the family, and even secretly manipulating the direction of the entire Konoha, is this kind of person not a villain, who is he?

Facing the puzzled looks of his two partners, Hatake Sakumo slowly shook his head.

"He didn't do human experiments with ninjas, and he didn't desecrate the corpses that had been buried in the ground. On the contrary, people in Konoha often do this."

"And regarding our resurrection, after coercing and luring us, we actually didn't care much about us. It's better to say that he was quite generous to us, giving money and things, saying that he was disturbing the dead or something, but I think I still Resurrection is better."

"I thought that Kakashi and Konoha's people would be tolerant after I died, and then they would unite more closely. But what unites them now is not because of my death, my death is just a joke. What unites them is instead It is Aizen that we have always despised."

"So I was thinking, is he really a villain?"

Looking at the sparse crowd outside, Hatake Sakumo looked a little sad.

For a ninja, there is no reason to kill an enemy.Anyone can do it.

But how to judge an enemy requires a reason that can convince oneself and others.And the other two had this reason.

Aizen Soyousuke is an enemy from Uchiha's point of view.

Because his plans and strategies gradually reduced the living space of the Bloodstained Family, hoping that the ninjas of the family would alternate with ordinary ninjas and eventually merge into one, which violated their interests.

From Kato's point of view, Aizen is also an enemy.

He is a member of the faction directly under Konoha, Senju Tsunade's boyfriend, and occupies an authoritative position in Konoha's administrative system. He is extremely dissatisfied with Aizen's drastic attempt to reform. To Tsunade and his interests.

However, from his point of view, Hatake Sakumo, is Aizen really an enemy?
My son accepted a powerful and cheap godfather, and gave away all kinds of secret methods and techniques without money, and the environment of civilian ninjas has also improved a lot, and all kinds of gossip have been reduced a lot.

Although it is said that for the family ninja and Konoha's inherent internal team, Aizen Soyousuke is a destroyer.But from the perspective of the victim, Hatake Sakumo, he was surprised to find that he couldn't seem to find anything wrong with Aizen.

Except for his bad mouth and yin and yang.

"Duan is for Tsunade and her future, and Kagami is for Uchiha and Konoha."

"What about me? What do I hate him for? The will of the fire that killed me? Or the Konoha who mocked my son?"

"You all have other sustenance, I only have one son."

"..."

Kato Dan and Uchiha mirror looked at the slightly old man in front of them, they opened their mouths but didn't know what to say.

Hatake Sakumo's death can be said to be bizarre and tragic, and it can almost be determined that it was an action taken by the upper class of Konoha to suppress ordinary ninjas in the true sense.

Konoha, who has always admired the will of fire, the will of the team, and even listed medical ninjas as a must, would choose a companion because someone gave up on the mission, start a public opinion storm, and force people to commit suicide.

Although it is not enough to completely collapse Konoha's Will of Fire values, everyone can see that everyone has a lot more scruples when talking, and they are no longer as close as they were at the beginning.Even the trend of many family fusions has begun to stagnate.

Uchiha mirror is the most touching.He was 25 years old when he died in battle. At that time, Nidaimu died on the battlefield with them, and died for Konoha.

At that time, even if Uchiha didn't talk about it, he actually contributed to it, at most he was dissatisfied with his mouth.

But now?Uchiha Akari, who took control of the Konoha Guard, secretly began to ask for more benefits and areas, and made it clear that he didn't believe you Hokage and Konoha.

The death of Konoha Baiya, which seemed to solve the problem, intensified many hidden problems inside Konoha to the surface, which made the image of Konoha Baiya's death in other people's mouths worse and more disgusting.

No one likes a person who ruins his good deeds. Although he looks sad and seems to have contributed something to someone, his own interests are really damaged.If you don't scold him, who will you scold?Wouldn't it be enough if you don't commit suicide and admit to being cowardly?
Facing the plain-looking captain of the [-]th squad, Dan Kato and Uchiha Kagami looked at each other, and found that they really couldn't find any reason.

Instead, Hatake Sakumo waved his hand and brought the topic to the fore.

"Let's not talk about these things. What do you think of the long-term mission Aizen said?"

"What long-term mission?"

"It's the mission that observed someone secretly investigating Konoha and observing the ancestral land of the Uchiha family. I hope we can find the source."

"I'll investigate that."

"yes……"

After taking a sip of the wine, Hatake Sakumo looked at Uchiha Kagami whose eyes suddenly became serious, and smiled subtly.
