As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group Chapter 424 424: Heartwarming Chicken Soup

This is an Actor: Alright, that's enough excitement for today's viewing session.

Having secured the materials for the magic circle, Gerald concluded the live broadcast and returned with Harry and the others to Hogwarts Castle.

Doujin Artist: No way, I need to see Ron's terrified little eyes again! That part is a classic scene, hahaha!

Soul Society's Villain: I swear he was so scared he nearly wet himself. You're truly wicked, Anzen.

Curly-haired Guy: Humph, serve him right. When we doubted our group leader, this brat was the most eager.

Machete Girl: Exactly, he instigated most of the trouble.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: He's just a child, please be gentler!

Amegakure Village's Angel: My dear isn't like us; he wouldn't engage in such petty revenge. What he truly intended was to teach them a lesson about not trusting anyone easily.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: However, this type of lesson seems to backfire, much like that young witch Hermione. Her adoration for Anzen is practically overflowing.

Lin Fengjiao: I suspect that even if the group leader were genuinely the heir, they wouldn't believe it.

Shark-Faced Guy: Sadly, Anzen is not the actual heir. And in his eyes, even Slytherin is merely a minor obstacle.

Lazy Kitten: That old man is no good! Those who champion blood purity are typically either fools or villains. If pure-bloods were truly superior to half-bloods, why has the British magical nobility been in such a decline? Just look at Malfoy; he's not even as competent as Hermione, a Muggle-born witch!

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: If I recall correctly, Voldemort himself was a half-blood?

Doujin Artist: That's right, he's a half-blood! Yet, as a half-blood, he insists on blood purity – it's quite peculiar!

Amegakure Village's Angel: It's not peculiar; it's a political tactic for his reign. As long as it can deceive people, nothing else truly matters.

Lazy Kitten: Disgusting, this is truly repulsive! It reminds me of that 'heartwarming chicken soup' from my previous life; it appears comforting but actually leads to despair!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Not at all, I find the deceptiveness of 'heartwarming chicken soup' far more potent than this slogan. At least half-blood wizards will push back against this slogan. But 'chicken soup' is different; it garners believers across all ages and races.

Lin Fengjiao: Um, what exactly is 'heartwarming chicken soup'?

This is an Actor: Fortune in life is earned through diligent effort. There are no free handouts in this world. You harvest precisely what you sow.

Lazy Kitten: Pfft, I've been wondering for ages... Anzen really has a knack for just blurting things out.

This is an Actor: This particular statement is etched clearly in my memory.

Doujin Artist: I used to consider these profound quotes, but now they seem incredibly misleading.

Curly-haired Guy: It is indeed quite misleading; I still can't pinpoint what's wrong with this statement!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Ah Yin, you…

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Firstly, what constitutes 'diligent effort'? Individuals receive vastly different outcomes from their endeavors. Furthermore, does a truly free lunch not exist in this world? Why is it that landlords and capitalists seem exempt from the need to work?

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Precisely, that's the point! Why must we toil, while capitalists luxuriate? All they do is ogle women's posteriors daily! Damn it all, these individuals deserve damnation!

Doujin Artist: Deadpool, pipe down! You detest capitalists now, but given the opportunity, you'd likely become one yourself! You actually deem it justifiable.

Lin Fengjiao: Without careful analysis, one might believe this brand of 'heartwarming chicken soup' to be genuinely inspiring.

This is an Actor: There are even more inspiring phrases I've uttered before. "One must endure hardship to ascend to a superior status," this is perhaps the most deceptive and misleading. It's also a celebrated saying, widely admired by many.

Amegakure Village's Angel: Ah, this one! I recall it vividly; my dear once questioned the very notion of seeking a 'superior status.'

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: That's correct; striving for superiority often implies trampling over others to reach the summit. So, who genuinely desires to be trampled upon? You certainly don't wish to be stepped on, yet you aim to step on others... How can such a scenario ever lead to mutual benefit?

Lazy Kitten: Sigh, I was once quite fond of this type of 'chicken soup.' I was young and naive; looking back, I feel utterly embarrassed!

Doujin Artist: What is there to be ashamed of? Embracing 'chicken soup' ideology is far preferable to those imbecilic wizards clinging to blood purity. That doctrine is utter nonsense, and it's precisely because of the sheer number of fools in the magical realm that Voldemort's arrogance could flourish.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Indeed, that doctrine is awfully crude. In contrast, his esteemed predecessor, Grindelwald, possessed far more class. "For the greater good," now that's a perspective with far broader horizons!

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Agreed. Although the same ideological conditioning and mind-washing are involved, Grindelwald's style is indeed far superior to Voldemort's.

Observing the group's debate comparing Grindelwald and Voldemort, Gerald offered a subtle smile, choosing not to interject.

Objectively speaking, Grindelwald's vision was indeed loftier than Voldemort's. Had he truly adhered to his path, profound transformations could have reshaped the magical world.

However, his wavering conviction proved to be the primary reason for his downfall.

Furthermore, his complicated relationship with Dumbledore undeniably acted as a restraint. After all, can one truly be merciless when faced with a beloved individual?

With these thoughts occupying his mind, Gerald turned and began walking toward his dormitory.

"Oh my goodness!" Ron exclaimed loudly, watching the retreating figure. "We weren't penalized points; it's an absolute miracle!"

"That is solely because Professor Zickrein chose not to punish us," Hermione sighed. "He is such a gentle soul, and yet we perpetrated such an act."

The treatment of the fire lizard hardly seemed gentle, did it?

Ron and Harry exchanged glances, a shared thought surfacing simultaneously in their minds. Naturally, they kept their counsel in the current circumstances.

Harry offered an awkward smile and changed the topic. "But we also accomplished something good. We can now be certain that Professor Zickrein is not the Heir of Slytherin. I suspect that even without being the Heir, his future achievements will be no less than Slytherin's."

"Indeed, he is incredibly powerful!" Ron concurred with a nod. "I'd wager even Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have subdued that fire lizard with such ease!"

"So, does this mean Malfoy remains the more probable candidate?" Harry mused, stroking his chin.
