Chapter 619 - Superficial Superiors, True Superiors

If they didn’t see it with their own eyes…

No one would dare to believe that the 13 Death Servants of the Uehara Clan were so arrogant.

In Gotei 13’s territory, in front of the 5th Division Captain, he did not put anyone present in his eyes and directly killed a 3rd seat.

“This group of guys…”

A shinigami of the 5th Division bitterly gritted his teeth, but he did not continue to say anything bad because he was worried about Uehara Naraku being present.

As the head of the Uehara clan, Uehara Naraku seemed to be somewhat incompatible with his own family. Uehara looked at Sosuke Aizen with some guilt and whispered, “Captain… I’m sorry, I cannot go against Itachi-san’s will…”

“…”

The captain of the 5th Division, who was always gentle on the surface, shook his head and smiled to comfort Uehara, “Okay, Naraku, it’s not your fault… Never blame others’ mistakes on yourself.”

Sosuke Aizen gently patted Uehara on the shoulder and continued softly, “What happened today, only Naraku is the victim… If you feel uneasy, then take on the responsibility of being the 5th Division’s lieutenant!”

“Captain…”

Uehara looked at Sosuke Aizen in disbelief.

If he didn’t know what Sosuke Aizen’s real dace was, if not for Uehara controlling everything just now, maybe Uehara’s heart might really be moved…

What this person said…

It could always persuade other people’s hearts.

Sosuke Aizen looked at Uehara’s expression and continued with a smile, “Alright, it’s alright. Leave this matter to me to handle…”

“En…”

Uehara nodded slowly.

The 5th Division members began to disperse.

After everyone left, Sosuke Aizen’s face showed a dark smile, and his eyes showed a touch of gloom.

“What a bunch of arrogant people…”

Sosuke Aizen sat on the chair on the training ground and slowly said, “Even after so many years, the nature of this clan has not changed…”

“Oh?”

Ichimaru Gin smiled and stood beside him. He smiled and asked, “What will Lord Aizen do now? Are you really going to report to Captain-Commander Yamamoto about what happened today?”

Sosuke Aizen lowered his head and restrained his gaze, “Of course, even if Gotei 13 and Uehara clan have a secret agreement, it is by no means the reason why they can take action at will…

It seems that I have found a better way. The gap will never be eliminated and will only become bigger and bigger.”

Of course, this matter had to be reported.

Sosuke Aizen had never intended to hide it.

The only thing that disappointed Sosuke Aizen was that he did not say much after Gotei 13’s Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni knew about this matter. Instead, he just urged Sosuke Aizen to protect Uehara.

Yamamoto held his cane and lowered his eyes. There was no anger on his face as if he did not take this matter to heart at all.

A thousand years already pass…

This Captain-Commander was no longer as resentful as he was in the past.

In comparison, Yamamoto was more concerned about Uehara’s growth. He placed the hope of Seireitei’s future peace on Uehara.

“The secret agreement between the Uehara clan and us existed before Gotei 13…”

Yamamoto muttered softly and calmly reminded, “When that little fellow, Uehara Naraku, truly grows up and can take responsibility, such a thing will not happen in the future…”

As long as…

This little fellow who carried the hope of peace became the captain of Gotei 13. He would slowly let the Uehara clan integrate into Soul Society.

Falling out at this time…

Without a doubt, it was the most unwise choice.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Zero Division must not declare war on the Uehara Clan for a 3rd seat who sneak attack Uehara Naraku…

What’s more…

Even if that 3rd seat did not die in Uchiha Itachi’s hands, Yamamoto would lock him up in prison as an explanation to the Uehara clan.

“Yes, I understand.”

Sosuke Aizen slowly lowered his head.

In his heart, he felt more disdain for this Captain-Commander. Because he lived longer and longer, he began to fear war.

What a coward…

Whether it was Uehara or Yamamoto…

Sosuke Aizen did not expect this Captain-Commander to be tough in the first place; he just came for formality.

Just as Sosuke Aizen was greeting his superficial superior, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, his subordinate, Ichimaru Gin, was greeting his true superior.

“Lord Naraku.”

Ichimaru Gin had a habitual smile on his face. He stood next to Uehara and said softly, “Because I have to stay by Aizen’s side for a long time to monitor him. It is really troublesome to meet…”

“It doesn’t matter. I won’t care about such a small matter.”

Uehara leaned against the chair in the pavilion, holding a glass of juice as he slowly drank it. His attitude seemed to be a little out of place with Soul Society.

Hearing Uehara’s words, Ichimaru Gin’s smile stiffened for a moment, but it returned to its original state in an instant.

With a smile on his face, Ichimaru Gin chuckled and said, “Even if Lord Naraku is magnanimous and does not care about such a small matter, as a subordinate, I will still feel very sorry…”

Seeing Uehara’s expression, Ichimaru Gin chuckled and continued, “However, I did not waste the time you gave me. Not long ago, Aizen found out about the whereabouts of the other half of Hogyoku that Urahara Kisuke created…”

“This information is useless to us.”

Uehara put down the fruit juice cup in his hand and continued calmly, “Kuchiki Rukia… If I remember correctly, she should be called by this name now.”

“That’s right…”

Ichimaru Gin smiled and nodded. He continued, “Yesterday, Rukia just joined the Kuchiki clan and officially changed his name to Kuchiki Rukia… Perhaps Urahara Kisuke thought that Lord Kabuto could help him protect Hogyoku, so he placed Hogyoku in Rukia’s body without permission.”

Ichimaru Gin knew Rukia.

Ichimaru Gin was the most promising one among all the Rukongai children who came out of the orphanage. He was also the role model that Kabuto had always set up in the orphanage, and he also often returned to the orphanage to help.

The former eldest sister of the orphanage was Matsumoto Rangiku…

The eldest sister in this generation in the orphanage was Rukia. She joined the Kuchiki clan yesterday and officially changed her name to Kuchiki Rukia.

This matter…

It was a little strange to say it.

Hogyoku was a very peculiar substance.

Sosuke Aizen used shinigami to create an incomplete Hogyoku. Urahara Kisuke uses hollow to create another more mature Hogyoku.

Naturally…

Sosuke Aizen wanted to take away Urahara Kisuke’s Hogyoku, trying to get a perfect Hogyoku, which was also what Uehara wanted.

“Come to think of it…”

Uehara narrowed his eyes and said softly, “You think that Urahara Kisuke put his Hogyoku in Rukia’s body… The original intention was to use Kabuto’s power to protect his Hogyoku…”

Uehara raised his head and looked at Ichimaru Gin. His voice was a bit gloomy, “Kabuto is my most important subordinate. Isn’t it a bit too much to take advantage of Kabuto without Kabuto’s permission?”

“Of course.”

The smile on Ichimaru Gin’s face faded a little. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes. His face became unprecedentedly serious.

Ichimaru Gin calmly continued, “When I was young, Lord Kabuto regarded Urahara Kisuke as his student…”

Such behavior…

It could no longer be described as excessive!

Ichimaru Gin, who had been following Sosuke Aizen as a spy, knew very well how powerful Sosuke Aizen was. Even Kabuto might not be able to defeat him, right?

And Urahara Kisuke…

He stored the Hogyoku that Aizen wanted in Rukia’s body, who was still in the orphanage!

Yesterday, before Kabuto left Seireitei, Rukia agreed to accept Kuchiki Byakuya’s adoption request. There were also some intentions of protecting her and the orphanage.

As the successor of Kabuto…

Ichimaru Gin naturally would not think that Urahara Kisuke was innocent!

No matter who knew about this, they would be dissatisfied with Urahara Kisuke.

Even if they knew that Urahara Kisuke was doing this for the sake of Hogyoku’s safety. He also put those who cherished him in danger because of this; this kind of behavior would be too self-righteous…

“That guy really wants to use everything…”

Uehara leaned against the pillar of the pavilion and chuckled, “In any case, we can’t distinguish Urahara Kisuke’s true intentions. Let’s get rid of him together!

Gin, get ready to carry out our plan. Before Aizen determines Hogyoku’s position, let him determine Urahara Kisuke’s position first!”

“Yes.”

Ichimaru Gin nodded with a serious face and continued in a low voice, “I’ll investigate this matter right away, but since Urahara Kisuke is hiding in Human World, it’s hard to find his reiatsu…”

“It is not that complicated.”

Uehara shook his head and said softly, “If a mouse hiding in the sewerage wants to fight another mouse, it will always need a few supplies. If Aizen gives him enough pressure, he will reveal himself sooner or later…”

“Also, find a chance to transfer me to the Human World.”

Uehara closed his palm and whispered, “As long as I can reach Human World, I can find out Urahara Kisuke’s whereabouts… and then find a way to let our Captain Aizen and Store Manager Kisuke start a war in advance!”

“Yes.”

After Ichimaru Gin agreed, he smiled and said, “Lord Naraku, there is one more thing. Before I become the 3rd Division Captain, Aizen may rush to Hueco Mundo with me. Is it time for him to find out Lord Orochimaru?”

“It’s time.”

A hint of nostalgia appeared on Uehara’s face. He said softly, “It’s been so many years since I last saw my old friend…”

“…”

Ichimaru Gin’s expression was a little strange.

Was this old friend a proper old friend?

Because Ichimaru Gin had once found out about some of Orochimaru’s past and heard that Orochimaru also had a glorious time…

But…

Because Orochimaru treated Uehara as experimental material when they first met, it caused his life to rise and fall.

However, every ups and downs…

They were all played by the person in front of him in the palm of his hands.

Uehara also seemed to feel a little strange. He turned to look at Ichimaru Gin and said, “I heard that you also respect Orochimaru very much. This is quite similar to Kabuto…”

“Yes.”

Ichimaru Gin sighed faintly.

After a long silence, Ichimaru Gin said, “The next time we rush to Hueco Mundo, once Sosuke Aizen finds out Lord Orochimaru, he will definitely not give up recruiting Lord Orochimaru because…”

When he said this, the corners of Ichimaru Gin’s mouth suddenly revealed a smile, “He will obtain a huge army of Arrancar…”

“Army…”

Uehara slowly said, “After wasting so much of White Zetsu, I wonder how many qualified Arrancar he made…”

“There should be more than a hundred now.”

Ichimaru Gin broke out a not-low number and said softly, “If Lord Orochimaru can also succeed in the fusion experiment of Gillian-level Menos and White Zetsu, this number will probably skyrocket…”

“That’s not bad.”

The success rate of this product was indeed not bad.

White Zetsu was probably the most suitable material. Whether as a sacrifice or a test subject, he was the most suitable existence.

The cost was also very low.

You can quickly produce them as long as you have the Spore Technique and Spiritual Power.

And among Hueco Mundo, Gillian was the most. If the fusion between them could successfully create Arrancar, even if the intelligence were low, it was enough to become combat power…

Thousands of years ago, Orochimaru was sent to Hueco Mundo by Uehara, where he repaired his soul through the devouring hollow…

Similarly…

It was also to carry out an experiment in Hueco Mundo.

Right now, Orochimaru was creating an Arrancar Army that was formed after the fusion of Adjuchas and White Zetsu!

Once it can be thoroughly transformed and integrated, it means that the Hueco Mundo will give birth to a brand new species or civilization…

The most important thing was…

It will give birth to a group of strong combat power!

Because the spiritual power in Menos’ body was naturally strong enough!

“Alright, that’s it. I’ll leave all these matters to you.”

Uehara stretched out his palm, grabbed a scroll from the void, and threw it to Ichimaru Gin. He said softly, “It will be very dangerous to be by Aizen’s side. In the past, Kabuto was there to keep you in check. He would not dare to do anything to you…”

Uehara looked at Ichimaru Gin’s puzzled expression and continued softly, “Now that Kabuto has left Seireitei, who knows if Aizen will suddenly want to harm you…”

“Lord, I will pay attention…”

“It is always right to be careful.”

Uehara closed his palm and looked down at the scroll. He said softly, “If you encounter any trouble, open it. There is a copy of Hado #99: Five Dragon Destruction that I have sealed inside. I just don’t know how powerful it is…”
