Chapter 22
The reason why Aizen has expectations for Konoha is because this is not only the only place in the world he observed that has a systematic education system and related industries, but also the only place that has plans for the future.

Unlike other ninja villages, it’s different when you think about it. Although Konoha’s operation and planning are better than nothing, and often go backwards, they are still planned.

Although the operation of the first generation of Hokage is bizarre and full of fantasy in the eyes of later generations, in the eyes of Aizen, it is indeed a good start.

He gave ninja children the opportunity to get in touch with education, and also let them start to think about life and themselves.

Compared with the family education of the Warring States period and the distorted world of killing each other, taking on tasks and killing each other, today's Ninja Village era has undoubtedly improved a lot.And the talents who were originally buried will gradually appear.

And Namikaze Minato is one of the geniuses that Aizen has investigated.

It is different from Urahara Kisuke's wisdom of ghosts and gods who can cross the age by doing anything casually, and it is also different from Nirvana Mayuri's research that does not pursue appearance but only the essence, and even from Aizen's pursuit of transcendence to reach the gods The understanding is also different.

Namikaze Minato has his own way of adapting in this world.What he studies is what is most suitable for this era.

If you insist, Namikaze Minato is a person who can live at any time and radiates light and heat.

Intelligent but not obvious, tough yet gentle.In addition, the teacher who leads the team is one of the three ninjas, who is closely related to Kyuubi's Jinchuriki. As a commoner ninja, he has reached the top level of Konoha's sight with his own understanding and cognition.Moreover, through his words and deeds, those with vested interests did not feel disgusted and repelled.

Even to a certain extent, compared to Aizen Soyousuke's almost unrepeatable route, Namikaze Minato's is the real promotion channel in the eyes of others.After all, no one can guarantee that they will not offend others by doing good deeds for so many years, and that everything they do is right.

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

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

A normal civilian ninja is born, finds a good teacher to pay homage to the pier, and then makes great achievements by virtue of danger and opportunity. In the end, whether it is beauty or fame, it seems that there is a feeling of promotion.

When people look at Aizen Soyousuke, they will only marvel, admire, and look up, but when they look at Namikaze Minato, they feel as if he is by their side.As long as he works hard, he seems to be able to become a star like Minato Namikaze like Jonin.

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

Because he knew that Namikaze Minato was different from himself, and he made it up purely by his own talent and excellent quality.

Konoha's class has not solidified to an unimaginable level, but it is still blocked everywhere.There must be some really good people to be included in Konoha's system, and Aizen knows very well that Minakaze Minato is that candidate.

He has a close relationship with Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and his own strength is also outstanding. He has a good reputation among the people. If he has made certain achievements on the battlefield, he can even wrestle with Sannin.And if the merits are particularly great, even Sannin needs to make concessions.

After all, to pass on from generation to generation, there must be a few new faces, so as to avoid being gossip.

As for Aizen herself, although it seemed like an option, it wasn't.Because he himself represents a part of Konoha.He is one of Konoha's incarnations of power, so basically ignore him.

Just looking at Konoha who may become a candidate for Hokage in the future, Aizen still maintains a gentle and decent smile on the surface, but he feels that Namikaze Minato has a wonderful, seemingly indistinct closeness to him feel.

'Is it because of something happened when I was a child, so I instinctively trust me...I see. '

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

For the Third Hokage, this kind of chatter is, on the one hand, maintaining his appearance of affinity, but on the other hand, it seems to be just showing his authority.

As a real Hokage, the third generation 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.But this is meaningless to Namikaze Minato and Aizen himself.

After only counting 10 minutes, the two arrived at Yile Ramen Shop.

"Boss! Here are two bowls of Yile ramen!"

"okay!"

"Brother Aizen, it's been almost five years, hasn't it?"

Very enthusiastically asked the boss for two bowls of Iraku ramen, Namikaze Minato looked at Aizen sitting beside him full of emotion.

"Since I became a Chunin, the two of us seem to have been missing the past. Now that I have become a Jonin, there is no time to see each other at all. It has been five years in a flash."

"Yes. It's been almost five years. The good boy who begged me to borrow books back then has now become Konoha's Jonin, and he is still the ninja with the most potential in the eyes of the third Hokage. Even I can't help feeling a little bit emotional. "

"What you said, I'm still far behind in comparison."

"How far?"

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

"Do you want to keep up with the back of that so-called Xinhongjiali? If you work so hard, you will be able to stand beside her soon."

"Lan, big brother Ai Ran?!"

"There is no need to refute anything, the relationship between the two of you is actually known by the whole village. As Konoha's consultant agent, it is only natural that I have this knowledge."

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

Thanking the owner of Ichiraku who served two bowls of noodles gently, Aizen picked up the chopsticks and ate the Ichiraku ramen, which was like blocking Namikaze Minato's rebuttal with action.

Facing Aizen Soyousuke's action of "I don't want to hear your explanation at all, I just want to eat noodles", he could only sigh with a flushed face, and started to eat noodles sullenly.

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

After eating two mouthfuls of ramen, Namikaze Minato sat on a chair, still couldn't help putting down his chopsticks, and said very seriously.

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

"..."

"And I respect her a lot, I think she is a really independent girl, different from other girls I have seen. She will not pursue anything else, just a passion for Konoha and Hokage , as if it were me."

"..."

"Speaking of it, brother, you also know that I was like that when I was a child, weak and unable to speak. But Kushina is different, she is like, like a storm, a lighthouse, just smiling like that, Just shine in my heart. I really don't want anything wrong, I just want her to shine."

"..."

"...Brother Aizen, can you say something?"

Looking at Aizen Soyousuke who was eating noodles, Namikaze Minato said a little depressed after talking for a long time.

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

As for Namikaze Minato's sluggish appearance, Aizen took out a tissue and wiped the stains from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Namikaze Minato who hadn't eaten noodles yet.

"I don't think there's anything else to say. After all, there's nothing more interesting than seeing young boys and girls cut and shuffled their feelings, isn't there?"

"Brother Aizen?!"

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

Looking at the blushing Konoha's little sun, Aizan pushed his glasses with a smile, and said gently:
"Happiness is the illusion of ability. Only when your ability can accomplish what you want, you will feel happy. But, when you are immersed in this illusion for too long, when you find that ability is not enough to cover happiness Then you will feel the pain."

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

"Picking up the sword may not be able to hug your lover, but putting down the sword, you can only face the cruel reality."

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

"...Yes, Big Brother Aizen."

Sitting on the wooden bench, Minato Namikaze looked at Aizen Soyousuke with an expectant face, and nodded seriously.

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

"That's good. Oh, yes."

"what's up?"

"Your face is getting lumpy. And Boss Yile seems very unhappy."

"……Eh?"

Although I haven't seen him for five years, and I am a Jonin and Aizen is just a Chunin, it seems that I have nothing to do with this cheap big brother from the beginning to the end.

As for why this is so, because Aizen has always insisted on convincing people with reasoning, and always speaks the correct truth to others very seriously.

Then appreciate the ugliness other people cause because of themselves.

What a bad person.

"I... forget it."

Looking at the noodles that had begun to harden, under the indifferent gaze of Boss Yile, Minato Namikaze could only stuff the noodles into his mouth wanting to cry without tears.

Fortunately, Yile Ramen really lives up to its reputation.Even if it is a bit lumpy, you can still taste the sweet and mellow taste after tasting.Just like what he just said about Kushina.
