As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group Chapter 428: Hermione’s Change of Mind

Doujin Artist: It isn't just America; it's the same here. Corrupt officials implement disastrous policies that lead to thousands of deaths, yet they are imprisoned for a mere two months, receiving preferential treatment throughout.

Machete Girl: How utterly despicable!

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Such occurrences are commonplace. I wish to speak of it no further and merely desire to swiftly dismantle this decadent feudal system.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Mochou is truly determined. Weren't you on the verge of capturing the capital?

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: We were, but the situation has become rather stagnant. To safeguard their dominion, the officials have forged a strategic alliance with the Mongol army. They are coordinating a pincer movement from both within and without, while a formidable force descends upon us from all directions.

Lazy Kitten: Damn it all, how utterly shameless! Those traitorous curs!

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Yet, in their propaganda, we are painted as the traitors. The cities we have captured are allegedly sites of brutal massacres. The Song Dynasty government implores the populace to unite against us.

Lin Fengjiao: They truly twist right into wrong.

Lin Jiu deeply sighed, at a loss for words.

This is an Actor: We perceive right as wrong because we know Mochou. Furthermore, through the images Mochou transmits, we witness the unvarnished truth. However, the common people are deprived of access to information. All they receive is what the officials permit them to see.

Amegakure Village’s Angel: So, due to this disparity in information, they are easily deceived?

This is an Actor: Precisely. Naturally, some individuals are aware of the truth but feign ignorance. The majority of these are sycophants of the feudal system, aiding their cause.

Lazy Kitten: I now truly grasp that lackeys are worse than traitors! It reminds me of the special unit my owner is involved with—it's riddled with them! Tenten shirks her duties, merely attempting to curry favor with the boss!

Curly-haired Guy: That is simply the way of the world; there is nothing surprising about it. If they do not ingratiate themselves, how will they retain their positions? How will they achieve promotion? In essence, it is not sycophancy, but rather politeness!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: My, such politeness! You neglect your work and focus solely on being courteous? I am astounded!

Doujin Artist: We must truly obliterate it all. We must strike them with tremendous force! We shall utterly shatter these corrupt elements! Commencing with myself, I shall set course for the capital tomorrow!

Machete Girl: Whoa, do not act rashly! First, you require a sound strategy to garner support.

Soul Society’s Villain: I still find Eriri's proposition of orchestrating a spectacle to be quite brilliant. Initially, fabricate a villainous antagonist. Continuously disseminate narratives of this antagonist's immense power, malevolence, and anti-human nature, and then, in the end, confront them. This approach ensures that justice is on your side and garners substantial public backing.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Indeed, I concur that this plan is excellent. I can portray the villain most convincingly.

Doujin Artist: Ruiko, let us be candid. You simply desire to stir up trouble, do you not?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Well, it is hardly a conflict of interest! I shall assist you in removing those corrupt officials, and you, in turn, shall earn respect and allegiance... it is a mutually beneficial arrangement!

Lazy Kitten: But does this not also constitute deceiving and manipulating the people?

Soul Society’s Villain: It is the only viable path at present. If we refrain from this action and permit those corrupt rulers to persist in their destructive course, who can fathom the extent of further suffering?

Machete Girl: Yes, we must approach this conflict with cunning. As long as it benefits the populace, we cannot be overly concerned with minor details.

Curly-haired Guy: I comprehend, but I believe Gin-san would be a more fitting antagonist! My portrayal would be far more convincing than Ruiko's!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Absolutely not, your acting is far too exaggerated!

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Nay, nay, the optimal choice would undoubtedly be me! Is there anyone within this congregation who more readily embodies the persona of a villain than myself? Prithee, lend an ear, everyone, I am a natural-born wrongdoer!

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: One cannot dispute that. The actions you undertake are exclusively those of a villain.

Wig Guy: That is precisely why you are unsuitable for the role.

Doujin Artist: Cease, Deadpool, I implore you, do not approach! I have no desire for the Burning Legion to invade my reality. The resurgence of spiritual energy is already proving to be too much.

Machete Girl: Hahahaha, everyone detests Deadpool.

Observing the animated exchange within the group, Gerald offered a smile. This camaraderie genuinely evoked the feeling of a close-knit family, even if these familial members occasionally displayed a degree of silliness.

"Shameless, utterly shameless!" As Gerald ambled down the corridor, Hermione's irate voice suddenly pierced the air. "That was unequivocally a grave teaching mishap. How could he possibly articulate it in such a manner? Those Devil's Snare plants even caused Neville's head to bleed!"

"What recourse do we have? He is a professor," Ron replied, his voice laced with a deep sigh. "Moreover, he commands a following of millions at Hogwarts. Were you not once among his admirers?"

"But, but he cannot simply utter outright falsehoods!" Hermione's visage contorted, puffing up like an incensed hamster. "And he propagated untruths before such a vast assembly. I was so thoroughly deceived previously!"

The young witch was truly incensed this time, thoroughly angered by Lockhart's utter lack of shame.

It all began when Lockhart allowed the Devil's Snare to spiral out of control, plunging the classroom into disarray and resulting in injuries among the students. Yet, the subsequent announcement framed it as if the students themselves were at fault!

This flagrant distortion of truth and justice, witnessed firsthand by Hermione, utterly shattered any remaining respect she held for Lockhart.

She had previously drawn comparisons between him and Professor Zickrein. Now, she considered that comparison to be the gravest insult to Professor Zickrein! A pang of pity even struck her for Professor Zickrein; how could such an outstanding individual be a professor in the same institution as Lockhart?

How foolish I was, so incredibly foolish before!
