Inside Konoha village.
The moon hung high in the night sky.
Pale moonlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on the neat and tidy room.
On the bed.
Sosuke lay with his eyes gently closed, though he was not asleep.
Quietly getting up, by his side was the beautiful Kyōka Suigetsu, her long hair spread over the sheets. Bathed in the white moonlight, her delicate face resembled a piece of exquisite art.
She was soundly asleep, breathing peacefully, a sweet smile lingering on her lips. It was as if being by his side brought her utmost satisfaction.
Glancing at her almost naked, beautiful figure, Sosuke had not the slightest impure thoughts; he remained very calm.
Silently observing the girl who had suddenly appeared by his side one day, Sosuke had always harbored deep curiosity about her.
This girl had given him power that could stand at the pinnacle of this world.
She possessed abilities beyond the norms of this world, and had mastery over powerful kido... Who was she...
This answer had never been revealed to Sosuke by anyone.
His personality also dictated that he wouldn't inquire about all this.
However.
In his heart, he had deeply remembered the name Kyōka Suigetsu once called him—Aizen-sama.
Tonight, the dishes cooked by Suigetsu were terrible, almost unbearable, but Sosuke still ate all of it.
From those dishes, he felt a different sensation!
Different from the ease and comfort when interacting with people like Jiraiya.
Different from the caution when dealing with people like Danzo.
And different from the pretense and deception when interacting with villagers.
In front of Suigetsu, he felt unprecedented relaxation and naturalness, able to reveal his ambitions without any hesitation, able to turn into a slaughtering demon without blinking an eye.
Tonight, with Suigetsu, Sosuke seemed to have tasted the long-forgotten flavor of home.
How long has it been since I had my mother's cooking... I've forgotten....
Sosuke thought silently in his heart.
Finally, he glanced at Suigetsu once again, gently lay down, a smile on his lips, and slowly fell asleep.
Having your company is nice, Suigetsu...
And next to him, as if sensing something, Suigetsu snuggled closer into Sosuke's warm embrace, adjusting to a more comfortable position and fell asleep again.
Only this time, her smile seemed even sweeter.
...
The next morning.
An urgent intelligence report arrived on the desk of the Third Hokage.
Frowning, he looked at the content of the report and said in a solemn tone, "It seems that the Hidden Rain Village has sensed a threat through some of Konoha's actions and has already started to take action!"
Hearing his words, Homura and Koharu had serious expressions and said, "In that case, Konoha can no longer wait. If we wait any longer, it's hard to guarantee that other ninja villages won't have ulterior motives."
Sarutobi looked out the window, pondered for a moment, turned around, and said decisively, "Contact the daimyo! Announce the Hidden Rain Village's attack on the Konoha Jonin Exam and the assassination attempt on the daimyo, tearing up the peace treaty! This time, Konoha will no longer tolerate it!"
Hearing Sarutobi's words, a ninja quickly left with the intelligence report inside the Hokage Tower.
Inside the Hokage's office, the three of them gazed at the bustling streets of Konoha through the window, deep in thought.
Sensei... No matter what... I won't let Konoha suffer any harm in my hands!
At the moment when the news spread.
Not long after.
The high-level members of various major clans in Konoha soon learned about the impending war.
They gathered together to discuss matters related to this war!
The younger members of the clans also learned about this shocking news through their respective channels!
Konoha, which had enjoyed peace for more than a decade, was about to face another terrifying war!
At noon.
On their way to find Shimura Himiko, Sosuke and Saki met a hurried Tsunade and others.
"Sosuke! Where have you been all this time?"
Seeing Sosuke, Tsunade's eyes brightened, a little annoyed at not seeing him for so many days.
Naturally, Sosuke smiled and said softly, "I've been busy with missions recently, it's been a while, Tsunade."
"Nevermind, we'll talk later, right now something big might happen in Konoha! We are going to see the Third Hokage!"
Tsunade said urgently.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Sosuke's eyes behind his glasses, and he said softly, "Why so urgent? What happened?"
After a slight hesitation, Tsunade told Sosuke the news that only a few people knew.
"It seems that the Third Hokage has already made a decision and informed the daimyo. Konoha is planning to wage war against the Hidden Rain Village... War... is about to come again!"
Hearing Tsunade's words, a serious expression appeared on Sosuke's face, he nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Then you should hurry to find the Third Hokage and confirm it. If such news is spread inaccurately, it could cause unnecessary panic!"
Hearing Sosuke's advice, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and others nodded, then rushed towards the Hokage's office.
After they left, a smile appeared at the corner of Sosuke's mouth, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
The war... has begun...
"Let's go, Saki, everything is unfolding step by step according to the plan. It seems that all our schemes have not been in vain."
With a smile on his face, Sosuke walked ahead, speaking softly.
And behind him, Saki looked at Sosuke's back with admiration on his face.
He truly deserves to be Captain Aizen... To single-handedly provoke a war between two countries... Only by following such a Captain Aizen can I realize the highest value of my dirty existence...
.....
Underground in Konoha.
Inside the hidden base of Root.
In a dark room, Danzo listened with a stern expression to the reports from his subordinates.
After learning that Sarutobi had already announced the war against the Hidden Rain Village!
A rare smile appeared on Danzo's stubborn and expressionless face.
It's finally beginning... Sarutobi... Unfortunately... on this point, you are still one step behind me...
Root's pawns have already been arranged in the Hidden Rain Village... In this war... Root will show its astonishing capabilities to Konoha... And I, as the leader of Root, will also accept this glory...
Sarutobi... After all... Your heart is too weak...
If it weren't for that time... The position of Hokage should have been mine...
Konoha would still have been superior to other countries... How could there be something like the Hidden Rain Village daring to provoke us...
Thinking in his heart, Danzo's eyes flickered with the sparks of ambition, showing signs of excitement.
What he didn't know was.
The Hidden Rain Village, although a small country struggling between major nations, had a leader of genuine talent in this generation.
At this moment, Hanzo had already begun to take action.
This war that Danzo saw as easily solvable would take an unexpected turn because of the two unknown variables, Hanzo and Sosuke...
