Chapitre 7: Hinata Appears
Uchiha Itachi graduated, and Aizen's life returned to calm.
Aside from training, he often went shopping with Uchiha Izumi, and from time to time, they exchanged gifts.
Of course, in most cases, it was Izumi giving gifts to Aizen, such as his clothes, which were all from Izumi.
There was nothing he could do about it. Aizen was poor, surviving on the barely adequate stipend provided by Konoha. If not for Izumi, who was quite wealthy, his household would have run out of food.
As time passed, their relationship grew stronger.
Aizen clearly sensed that Izumi was developing special feelings for him, and he didn't dislike it. He figured it might be nice to live like this, going with the flow and enjoying life peacefully.
Before he knew it, Fujiwara Aizen was already 11 years old.
He was close to graduating from the Ninja Academy.
He had grown a lot, and his skills had advanced to the fourth level.
The Heaven technique was coming along well, and he could already store a large amount of Sage Mode chakra in his body.
In other aspects, he had also made significant progress.
During his five years at the Academy, Aizen used the Shadow Clone Technique to fully master the various martial arts moves described in the Heaven.
He also bought chakra paper from the ninja tools shop and discovered that he possessed Fire and Lightning chakra natures.
After much persistence, he obtained various ninjutsu scrolls from Uchiha Izumi's family.
As Izumi put it, "What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. As long as you don't use the Uchiha clan's exclusive techniques before reaching legal age, it's fine."
This statement made Izumi blush and flee in embarrassment.
But the next day, she brought a small bag of scrolls and handed them to Aizen.
Unfortunately, the collection in her family consisted of only a few Fire Style jutsus and notes on the nature transformation of fire chakra, as well as some illusions and summoning techniques that required the Sharingan. There were no Lightning Style techniques.
With no other options, Aizen studied fire chakra nature transformation using Izumi's notes.
Along the way, he also perfected the Body Flicker Technique, combining it with the teleportation skill from the Heaven, creating a brand-new version of the Body Flicker.
But fortune smiled on him eventually.
At the age of nine, Aizen encountered a young girl and was given a system task, from which he learned perfect Lightning chakra nature transformation.
It was a snowy winter day, and the streets were deserted due to the cold weather.
Aizen had just spent New Year's at Izumi's home, and while walking back after escorting her home, he passed a snow-covered corner of Konoha and saw a beautiful girl with pure white eyes.
She was wearing black clothes and was crying as she stumbled through the snow, falling and trembling with fear and confusion. Eventually, she collapsed on the ground and sobbed.
Aizen, without thinking much, picked her up and carried her home.
Only when he saw the words "Hyuga" on the gate did he realize that the little girl was Hinata Hyuga.
He also learned that this was the day of her uncle, Hyuga Hizashi's funeral, the memorial day for Neji Hyuga's father.
Aizen recalled the peace agreement recently signed between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had promoted the agreement, even organized a grand welcoming ceremony.
The village had been bustling, but the Hidden Cloud regarded this gesture as a sign of weakness.
That night, they attempted to kidnap three-year-old Hinata, intending to steal the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.
The result was as expected—the person sent was killed by the Hyuga clan's leader, Hiashi Hyuga.
Despite their failure, the Hidden Cloud ninja didn't admit their actions. Instead, they accused Konoha of killing their envoy and threatened war unless Konoha handed over Hiashi Hyuga.
Sarutobi, who was always weak in the face of external threats and harsh internally, compromised again.
This led to the tragic event where Hizashi Hyuga sacrificed himself in place of his brother.
It was another cold, snowy winter day, with snowflakes falling silently, adding a layer of thick cotton to Konoha.
The sky was almost dark.
Aizen, having just finished a day of training, took a bath and put on clean clothes, ready to meet Uchiha Izumi to celebrate the New Year, as they had done in previous years.
But as he passed a snowy corner of Konoha, he saw something that made him stop.
Not far ahead, two boys and a girl were bullying a little girl, about five or six years old.
"We heard you're from the Hyuga clan. Show us your Byakugan!"
"If you don't, don't even think about looking this way."
"Those creepy eyes, you're a monster, aren't you? A white-eyed freak."
The girl had short, light-purple hair and pure white eyes, her face delicate and beautiful.
The three kids taunted and mocked her, causing tears to well up in her large eyes as she cried quietly.
"Hinata…" Aizen whispered to himself as he recognized her face.
At that moment, the system's familiar voice echoed in his mind:
[Ding, how could the strongest loli-con stand by and let a little girl be bullied? Go help her!]
[Option 1: Step in and help, preventing the girl from being bullied by her peers. Reward: Earth chakra nature transformation.]
[Option 2: Ignore it. Reward: Danzo's underwear.]
"Danzo's underwear again?! What is it with you and Danzo's underwear?" Aizen thought, rolling his eyes. He immediately chose Option 1. More skills never hurt, and even though he didn't have any Earth Style jutsu to learn yet, he figured he would eventually.
However, simply stepping in wasn't the best way to solve the bullying.
If Aizen, being older, went over now, the kids might run away in fear.
But next time, they would continue bullying her.
The key was to teach Hinata how to stand up for herself.
With this in mind, Aizen formed hand seals.
He performed the Transformation Jutsu.
With a puff of smoke, Aizen transformed into his six-year-old self.
"Hey, is bullying someone fun for you?"
The three kids were used to being rough, and Aizen's words didn't sit well with them.
When they saw the transformed Aizen approaching, they burst out laughing.
"Where did this bean sprout come from? Trying to play hero?"
"Haha, a bean sprout monster trying to save the white-eyed freak!"
"Well, monsters stick together, don't they?"
As one of the boys stepped forward to punch Aizen, the other two watched with sneering grins. They weren't from ordinary families; their parents were ninja, and though they hadn't started at the Academy yet, they had been training for some time.
They were much stronger than ordinary children.
But soon, their smiles disappeared.
Aizen calmly raised his hand and easily blocked the punch, then countered with a straight punch of his own, hitting the boy squarely in the face.
Before the other two could react, Aizen dashed forward and hit them both with punches.
The three kids squatted down, covering their bleeding noses, crying loudly.
