Hiruzen stood before the top brass of Konoha.

The tension was palpable. Not a single soul dared crack a joke.

The Third Hokage—once hailed as the Professor—now bore the aura of a man on the edge. He slammed a scroll on the table.

Mission Rank: SS-Class

Target: Aizen Sōsuke/Uzumaki Aizen

Status: Priority Threat – Blacklist Level Omega

Objective: Capture Alive. Silencing Permitted if Capture Fails.

"There will be no room for failure," he said coldly, pipe smoke rising like battlefield fog. "This man possesses sensitive village info. He must be captured at all cost."

You know, the sensitive shit like... getting fucked over by Danzo.

But on a serious note—yes, that info shouldn't be public knowledge, so he did have a reason to do this.

...Will not change the bottom and submissive allegations, though.

Well, not like they could ever know the kind of shit he was doing.

During the execution, roughly 40 of Danzo's top Root members were missing, and with Hiruzen finding out about the seal—

It was more than likely that he realized Aizen was inverting the seal so they couldn't lie to him. Like, at all. And getting his info like that.

Motherfucker, if he started selling those seals, they were cooked.

Fried, even.

Mission Deployment – Team Jiraiya

Jiraiya, Tsunade, Inoichi, and a squad of elite tracking-nin dashed through the forests east of the Land of Fire. Chakra signatures confirmed: Aizen was nearby.

They burst into an abandoned temple.

Inside, a man sat peacefully at the center, candlelight flickering behind him.

"Aizen!" Jiraiya roared.

The man smiled. Polished hair. Closed eyes. Calm.

"Finally caught you, you smug bastard."

Tsunade clenched her fists. "It's over."

Aizen opened his eyes—deep, knowing, taunting. "Is it?"

Jiraiya lunged with a Rasengan—SLAM. Right through the chest.

The man puffed into mist.

Clone.

A scroll dropped from the ceiling, slow as snow.

Tsunade caught it and unrolled it.

"Note to self: Train better shinobi. You spent decades on war, and this was the best you had? Disappointing.

PS: If your Hokage wasn't such a sub, I might've considered joining your village. – Love, Aizen."

Goddamn, he was just going for the jugular with this one—straight for the throat, letting his fangs sink in and never letting go.

No matter what.

Just like a tiger.

Once they get their grip, they never let go of their prey until the very end.

Until the light dies from their prey's eyes.

Attempt #2 – Konoha Armory Breach

ANBU intercepted chakra movement near the forbidden vault. Alarm triggered.

They surrounded the cloaked figure swiftly, sealing tags at the ready.

"Hands where I can see them!" one barked.

The figure didn't resist. "Oh, I fully expected this."

Masked?

Aizen.

The ANBU commander blinked. "We... actually caught you?"

"Indeed," Aizen said smoothly. "It only took forty of you."

He raised his hands—

Puff.

Boom.

It wasn't even a clone. It was a seal-made puppet.

Inside its chest: a paper bomb rig and a note that fluttered to the ground like sarcasm from heaven.

"You captured my decoy's decoy.

Proud of you.

Still doesn't change the fact that your Hokage's been ridden harder than a battle horse.

– Aizen."

The entire squad fell into stunned silence.

Goddammit, he was just going for Hiruzen's throat.

There was even a hand-drawn image of the Hokage getting his shit absolutely plowed, Bonnie Blue style...[i know i used her name alot, but i dont watch that shit, so i only know the name of very popular one and so far she is very popular, apart from her, i know like 1 other and that Mia Kalifa and i refuse to look up popular pornstar name]

Yes.

It was that bad.

Having a train run on you by Danzo using shadow clones was crazy work.

Shit was drastic for them.

Oh well. Not like any of this mattered in the long run.

He would have to step down as Hokage.

And Orochimaru?

He was now in jail. He actually didn't escape.

His crimes were as bad as Danzo's—the main thing being his experiments with Hashirama cells that Danzo provided. He had the excuse of wanting to replicate the Mokuton, so he'd only be in jail for a short amount of time before returning to serve the nation and scare more kids shitless.

He would not touch anyone... no pinky promise though.

The little cat-and-mouse game between the Leaf and Aizen was quite fun to Aizen. He retreated back to the Land of Wind, which was an arid desert—making it way harder for people to find him there.

From there, he stayed in a city named Rōran for a while. He felt nothing off, really...

He swore—he 100% did not place a seal somewhere there.

The natural energy in this place was abundant, and who was he to deny himself the chance to fill his body with natural energy once more?

Speaking of which, Seijuro had found the key to Mokuton. He had the vial ready, just needed some light testing that Aizen would handle.

Once the fine testing was done—and he finished testing on the Nawaki clones and saw there was no rejection—he would finally inject it into Nawaki and, once and for all...

Nawaki would finally unlock Wood Style.

Meaning Konoha's future would look stacked.

The White Fang,

The Yellow Flash of the Leaf,

The second coming of the God of Shinobi,

The Genjutsu Devil,

and the Enchantress of the Red Eyes.

Truly a busted-ass village.

Let's not forget Might Duy, he was also quite strong.

So yes—Konoha wouldn't lack any talent once those old fucks left office.

A/N UNlike Danzo he can say he was doing it for the greater good of Konoha
