Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Why does everyone seem so worked up?
Curly-haired Guy: No, this isn't excitement! It's definitely not excitement! If I had to describe this feeling... it's like seeing your own dad in a maid outfit!
Doujin Artist: It's horrifying!
Amegakure Village's Angel: ?
Curly-haired Guy: C-Calm down! Maybe it's not what we think! Maybe it's just a prank?! Konan, take a picture!
Doujin Artist: Yeah! Take a picture and send it over. Let's see if it's really Aizen himself!
Inside the Akatsuki base.
Konan looked at the chat logs from Gintoki Sakata and Eriri, feeling confused. What's going on with these two? Do they actually know this Aizen?
But she didn't ask much at the moment. She quickly opened the camera function, aimed it at the brown-haired boy nearby, and took a picture.
Amegakure Village's Angel: [Image]
When the image was opened, it showed a boy with slightly wavy brown hair and black-framed glasses. He was looking directly at the camera with a soft, warm smile on his face.
Curly-haired Guy: Y-Yeah... This guy... He's really that Captain Aizen, right?! Damn, this is bad! Even worse than seeing my dad in a maid outfit!
Doujin Artist: I don't know why he got younger, but his facial features and overall look definitely match Aizen. At least an 80% resemblance. Considering this is a transition from 2D to 3D, some minor differences are expected.
Amegakure Village's Angel: What's going on?
Konan felt an intense curiosity rising inside her.
Curly-haired Guy: Aizen Sosuke—this guy is a demon! No, to be precise, he's something even scarier than a demon! This is bad... Not even Lord Frieza could handle him!
Doujin Artist: Konan, maybe you should grab Nagato and run.
Curly-haired Guy: Yeah! The best thing to do right now is find a hidden place to lay low, then use the group's travel function once it upgrades!
Amegakure Village's Angel: ???
Konan looked completely confused.
After spending more than half a month with the group, she felt like she had a pretty good grasp of their personalities. They weren't cowards. Even when discussing Uchiha Madara, they weren't this panicked.
Could this Aizen guy really be more terrifying than Uchiha Madara?
That's impossible, right?
Sure, he did easily defeat Biwa Juzo just now, but that guy was one of the weakest in the Akatsuki. Beating someone at the bottom doesn't prove anything beyond the fact that this boy is talented.
But talent is just talent—it doesn't mean absolute strength.
Konan wondered if these two were overreacting.
It wasn't that she refused to believe them—it was just hard to take seriously.
The main issue was Aizen's age. He looked, at most, twelve or thirteen. Based on the common sense of the Naruto world, no matter how much of a genius someone is, there's no way they could reach an unbeatable level at that age.
Doujin Artist: Konan, stop questioning it! Just run!
Curly-haired Guy: Exactly! We don't have time to figure out why this guy is in the Shinobi world. The priority is getting out of here!
[Notice: "This is an Actor" has uploaded the memory file "Bleach."]
This is an Actor: The more you tell her to run, the more curious she'll get. Let's just let her see for herself.
Uploading one's own story—normally, no ambitious person would ever do that. But Aizen didn't care. Even if he didn't upload it, Eriri or Gintoki would eventually do it anyway.
Besides, what difference would it make if Konan saw his true nature? Would it mess up his plans?
Aizen didn't think so. In fact, he believed that once Konan knew who he really was, it would actually make things go even more smoothly.
Doujin Artist: Ah, I totally forgot to upload the memory! Konan, after you watch it, don't panic! That guy will notice if you do!
How am I supposed to stay calm?!
In reality, after going through the memories of the Bleach world, Konan's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Now, she finally understood why the others were so terrified.
That man called Aizen... was truly terrifying.
And it wasn't just about his overwhelming strength.
A genius-level IQ, a cold and calculating personality, words that could manipulate anyone, plus Kyoka Suigetsu, which could control all five senses—this villain had no weaknesses at all!
More importantly, she felt like she had already fallen into the trap.
Amegakure Village's Angel: W-what should I do now? Why is that Aizen Sosuke appearing in our ninja world?
We haven't even dealt with Obito and Black Zetsu yet, and now a big boss from the Soul Reaper world shows up? Is this some kind of joke?
Curly-haired Guy: Could it be Doraemon's Anywhere Door?
Doujin Artist: There's no Doraemon in the Soul Reaper world! I think it's more likely that Aizen used the power of the Hogyoku to travel through time and space.
This is an Actor: No, the Hogyoku isn't that powerful. What it actually does is manifest a person's inner desires according to their own thoughts. But there's a catch—it only works if the user has the strength and ability to make their wish come true. Clearly, even Aizen from the Soul Reaper world can't break through the dimensional barrier. Or rather, the idea of a dimensional barrier probably never even crossed his mind.
Thinking about this, Anzen suddenly realized that Aizen from the Soul Reaper world had his own limitations. His perspective was confined within the framework of his own world—he never thought beyond it to a multiverse concept.
But she didn't have that limitation. Maybe she could give it a try?
Doujin Artist: Is that really the case? Anzen-san, you're truly amazing! Even when watching anime, you remember so many details.
This is an Actor: I just pay close attention.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: I think now isn't the time to discuss this. The important thing is, how do we deal with Konan's current situation?
This is an Actor: We don't know Aizen's full strength yet, and Konan might have already fallen under Kyoka Suigetsu's illusion. So confronting Aizen head-on is definitely a risky choice.
Doujin Artist: That's true.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Then what should we do?
This is an Actor: Try getting close to Aizen.
