Upon hearing Aizen's words, Sakuya hesitated for a moment and softly asked.
"Where is my brother now? Why hasn't he come back?"
Hearing Sakuya's question, Aizen's eyes flickered slightly, and he softly replied.
"Shino is beside a dangerous person, carrying out a mission for me by observing that individual's every move."
Sakuya's pupils tightened slightly at this, and she clutched her chest with her small hands, speaking anxiously.
"Is it a very dangerous person? Will my brother be okay?"
Aizen smiled and gently interrupted her, saying softly.
"Don't worry, Sakuya. Shino's identity is very secure, and one day in the future, you will definitely meet him again. Trust me."
Hearing Aizen's words, Sakuya nodded slightly.
It was clear that since Aizen hadn't disclosed much to her, her brother's mission must be extremely crucial.
She was silent for a while, then looked up at Aizen with a hint of confusion and asked.
"Why did you suddenly come back to the village, Aizen? If you're discovered..."
Aizen's lips curled into a faint smile as he glanced at the small bear, which had been sitting beside them like a small mountain, providing shade for the two of them. He chuckled softly.
"This time, I came here for this guy."
Hearing Aizen's words, Sakuya was taken aback and slowly shifted her gaze to the bear.
Being stared at by both of them, the bear blinked its large eyes dazedly, pointing to itself with a look of confusion and innocence.
Seeing its reaction, Aizen smiled lightly and said softly.
"Kumamoto, it's time for us to leave."
Hearing Aizen's words, a flash of excitement appeared in the bear's eyes.
"Boom!"
It twisted its body and got up from the ground, standing on all fours like a massive beast in front of them. It raised its head sharply, opening its mouth wide.
"Roar!!"
With its action, a terrifying beastly roar stirred up a violent gust of wind, rolling out in all directions.
"Whoosh—"
The strong wind swept around, lifting countless grains of sand and pebbles, causing Aizen's robe to billow.
Aizen didn't reprimand its behavior, smiling as he allowed it to express its joy.
Meanwhile, Sakuya, her small face showing a dazed expression, had to squint her eyes against the wild wind, and she spoke urgently.
"Aizen, are you taking the bear away from here?"
Hearing Sakuya's words, Aizen looked at her gently and smiled.
"Yes, Sakuya. Kumamoto's path isn't in Konoha. It has proven its potential to me, and I will take it to Las Noches as my summoning beast."
Hearing Aizen's words, Kumamoto's bear face showed excitement. It wiggled its large rear end, and if not for considering Aizen and Sakuya's presence, it might have jumped for joy.
Sakuya's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and she spoke in a low voice.
"Really? Then... I'll be the only one left in the village again..."
Although she appeared to be a beautiful young woman, Sakuya was actually just a very dependent little girl at heart.
As if sensing Sakuya's sadness, Kumamoto, who had been excited, slowly stopped its movements. It lowered its head and slowly approached Sakuya.
Noticing the approaching shadow, the downcast Sakuya looked up slightly, confused.
What she saw were beast eyes almost as big as her own body, amber-like eyes reflecting her image.
Sakuya's expression froze, staring blankly.
The beast eyes blinked gently at her, then Kumamoto's large bear face came close to Sakuya.
Seeing Kumamoto's black nose right in front of her, Sakuya was stunned for a moment. She slowly extended her fair little hand to gently stroke it.
In her gaze, she seemed to see a hint of a smile flash in Kumamoto's large eyes, narrowing into a crescent shape.
"Boom!"
It stood up suddenly, then extended an enormous paw towards Sakuya, stopping right in front of her.
Sakuya stared blankly at it, then suddenly burst into laughter.
The smile on her face seemed to dispel the impending sadness of the farewell and the sense of loss in her heart.
Kumamoto lightly shook its paw, its large eyes glancing at her in dissatisfaction, as if to say, "Why are you just making me hold my paw up? Aren't you going to give me a goodbye high-five?"
Seeing Kumamoto's expression, a bright smile appeared on Sakuya's face, and she softly said.
"I understand now. I should call you Kumamoto. Next time I see you, you must become even stronger, okay?"
After she spoke, she slowly extended her small, fair hand and gently high-fived the massive, thick bear paw.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Under the brilliant sunlight, the terrifyingly large bear, like a small mountain, and the beautiful girl made a promise. Their smiles were filled with joy.
The gentle touch of their hands seemed to become eternal, forming a warm and touching scene.
Standing quietly to the side, Aizen watched this moment without interrupting Kumamoto and Sakuya's farewell.
After Kumamoto and Sakuya made their promise.
"Snap!"
Aizen's figure flashed lightly, standing atop Kumamoto's head.
Kumamoto glanced up at him but showed no opposition, instead seeming faintly happy and excited.
Standing on Kumamoto's head, Aizen looked gently down at Sakuya and spoke softly.
"Sakuya, not just Kumamoto. Next time we meet, you must also become stronger."
Hearing Aizen's words, Sakuya's cheeks flushed slightly, and she stammered.
"But...but I really..."
Knowing what she was about to say, Aizen interrupted her gently.
"Don't doubt your own strength, Sakuya."
"People find flowers on the cliff beautiful because they stop at the edge of the cliff, unlike those fearless flowers that step towards the sky."
"It's not just your ghost techniques; you also have the power I gave you. Feel it with your heart and discover those strengths."
"When you meet Shino again one day, he would surely want to see a sister who is not weaker than him."
Hearing Aizen's words, Sakuya showed a hint of confusion and softly said.
"Can I really?"
In response, standing atop Kumamoto's head with the cold wind blowing, Aizen smiled and softly said.
"If you don't try, how can you experience the unique beauty above the sky?"
Hearing Aizen's words, Sakuya was stunned, then nodded seriously.
"I will try my best, Aizen. Next time we meet, I will make sure to surprise you!"
What Sakuya didn't know was that as she sincerely spoke these words, a slight change occurred within her, where the chakra intertwined in her eye meridians subtly shifted.
Seeing this, Aizen's eyes carried a hint of a smile as he watched, his lips curving slightly.
"Let's go, Kumamoto."
With his soft words, Kumamoto suddenly roared, the muscles under its thick fur bulging like iron!
"Boom!"
It stomped its hind paw forcefully, causing the ground to collapse and fissures to extend in all directions!
It leaped away like a cannonball.
"Crash!"
The forest resounded with the terrifying sounds of trees snapping and falling.
Sakuya stood still, gazing lightly at the departing Kumamoto and Aizen, her beautiful eyes filled with a determined look as she watched their figures gradually disappear.
After a long time, she finally decided to leave.
At the moment she moved!
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her eyes, and she fell to her knees, clutching her eyes.
Her beautiful black pupils instantly transformed into the blood-red Sharingan with three tomoe, though her eyes seemed unnaturally red, like spilling blood.
"Ah!!"
With a cry of pain, she slowly collapsed to the ground.
*
On the fog-locked island.
In the Land of Water, in the Mist Ninja Village.
Within a towering building, a figure suddenly shuddered and turned his head sharply, his black eyes instantly turning blood-red as he stared in a certain direction, muttering.
"This feeling of dread..."
Hehe, after all, the hidden sword is a failure. Even if it fails, it must laugh out loud!
