57 Resolve

Land of Fire.

Fire Town.

Inside the shop,

"Umm...hello!"

Kazumi who had been through so much in her life, fighting and killing having made her mentally very tough, before the man Infront finding herself nervous, greeting in a low quivering voice.

"Please don't be nervous, have a seat!"

"Thank You!"

The man seemed to have spotted her nervousness, with a kind smile gesturing her to sit in front, Kazumi hurriedly thanking and taking the seat, though unable to make an eye contact with the man.

"Here! Please have this!"

The man though didn't seem to care much about the nervousness of Kazumi, picking the tea pot next to him and pouring some in the cup, placing it before her.

Kazumi didn't reject his kindness and quietly picked the cup, taking a sip as slowly her nervous face regained a little calm.

"My name is Sosuke Aizen and humbly I consider myself a slightly capable doctor!"

"So please state your problem without holding back, I'll help to the best of my abilities!"

Seeing Kazumi calming a little, the man took the initiative to introduce himself, also assuring Kazumi of his skill to help her.

"I'm Kazumi Sato and the matter is...

His words reminded Kazumi of the business that brought her here, quickly narrating the matter that most people in fire town already knew.

Telling about her shinobi life and the encounter with sand rogue shinobi, which destroyed her future as a shinobi.

"Poison destroying the chakra pathways, truly a sorry fate!"

After listening to her whole story, Aizen leaned back on his chair and while pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, muttered.

"Can you do anything about it, Aizen-San?"

Seeing Aizen just leaning back and whispering to himself, Kazumi's heart fell though still with unwillingness in her eyes, she asked out.

As a former shinobi, she naturally knows damaged CP mean you can't utilize chakra, basically ending the career as a shinobi.

She has searched for a way to deal with this all around the world last two years, though to no avail, ancient documents and every thing else all revealed that once the cp is damaged permanently, it can't he healed, even with medical ninjutsu.

Probably only the legendary sage of six paths could help someone in this situation.

But the news of one after another miracles at this place brought the long lost hope back to Kazumi, without wasting a second coming here.

"Ha...

Hearing her question, Aizen gave her a look and smiled once again, letting out a little laugh as well.

"Of course!"

"Really!!!?"

Said Aizen lightly with a smile, Kazumi from wonder and excitement standing from her seat and asking, just to confirm again.

"Please follow me!"

Rather then more words, Aizen got into action as he led Kazumi to a separate place with in the room, the operating place.

"I'll be giving you anesthesia as during the operation I can't afford you to be moving due to pain!"

"Though I assure you of hundred percent successful operation, still if you don't want to, we can stop!"

"I'm not forcing anyone!"

.....

Said Aizen in a straightforward manner, leaving the ultimate decision to kazumi, who at his words went silent.

She is naturally aware of the danger of operating on cp, people in the past have tried but all resulted in cp at the moment of contact bursting, destroying the organs inside, instant death.

No amount of assurance could erase the doubt of possible death, kazumi suddenly hesitating, success meaning back to glory, failure simply death.

But just when she was hesitating, her eyes once again fell on the man patiently waiting for her decision, the kind face, the confident aura and calm demeanor attracting her again.

"Although I may have just met you Aizen-San, but I trust you my life with this!"

"If I don't trust a kind person like you, then no one in this world is worthy of being trusted!"

Said Kazumi with a serious face, though her cheeks slightly flushed, this time maintaining eye contact with him.

Her words seemed to be something Aizen hadn't expected, gazing back into her eyes for a moment.

"Then let's start!"

There was a silence for a while, eventually Aizen pushing his glasses broke the calm, motioning Kazumi to lay down on the operating table, taking out an injection.

Without wasting any time, he injected Kazumi with it who quickly went to sleep, Aizen looking at the passed out women before him, deep in thought.

Poof!

"At the end of the day, I'm not cold enough to be Aizen after all...

Aizen suddenly burst into smoke as an eight something kid appeared out of the white smoke, with a slightly dejected face talking to himself, black eyes on Kazumi.

"But it can't be like this for long, the future I have planned and my actions for that future would bring me against the world sooner or later, only with a tough heart I can continue on this path!"

"Whether it is the good side or evil side, I'll be unwanted by both!"

Thought Naoki with a determined face, his current actions were the first step into the future.

From the day he has hidden his df powers, he knew a day would come when he had to explain why he did so, he will lose trust, he will be termed suspicious.

But despite knowing it he still did that, cause his other plans for the future were against a lot of shinobi and village ideals.

So instead of revealing his powers and gambling whether sarutobi would protect him and use him as an experiment, he choose the other way.

And even if Sarutobi had protected him, his ideas with the devil fruit would have never been realized unless he broke some rules.

So to gain strength to deal with those in the endless universe, he was destined to walk on this road.
