Free Web NovelChapter 815: Chapter 639: The Recluse in the Mortal World, Urahara Kisuke
This guy Orochimaru...
Doesn’t seem all that formidable.
If it weren’t for witnessing Orochimaru’s Yamata no Orochi form firsthand, Aizen Sosuke would doubt if he had chosen the wrong partner...
Uchiha Itachi, the ninth officer, had given him a hard time...
The intel on the eighth and seventh officers isn’t detailed enough...
The sixth officer, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was once Orochimaru’s teacher...
Just from the lower-ranked officers, Aizen Sosuke could tell from Orochimaru’s cryptic words how tricky they were. How did he even survive?
Of course...
Luckily, Aizen Sosuke had seen firsthand Orochimaru’s life-saving capabilities, be it super-speed regeneration, Orochi Style Substitute Jutsu, or Giant White Snake...
This guy indeed has numerous ways to save his life.
No wonder.
For Orochimaru to hide in the Hollow World, he must’ve turned all his abilities into ways to survive the enemy’s attacks...
Truly went to any lengths just to survive.
Aizen Sosuke fell silent for a moment, skipping over the sixth officer’s issue, because he believed Orochimaru continued softly, asking: "What about Senju Tobirama, the fifth ranked?"
To this day, Aizen Sosuke still recalled what Orochimaru mentioned...
That it was Orochimaru, Yakushi Kabuto, and another person, one who had allied with the Uehara Race, truly researched and developed the Reanimation Jutsu, Senju Tobirama!
If he remembered correctly...
Because the top four officers of the Thirteen Deadguard rarely appeared, Senju Tobirama was indeed the most renowned Deadguard of the entire Uehara Race, also wielding absolute power over the Uehara Race, claiming to mobilize the entire Uehara City!
The most important thing is, Senju Tobirama’s power is not to be underestimated. He is currently the fifth-ranked officer, just below the top four officers of the Thirteen Deadguard!
"Senju Tobirama..."
Orochimaru’s face suddenly became more serious than ever before, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Senju Tobirama is the teacher of my teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and once my most admired person..."
"..."
Aizen Sosuke’s smile returned to its peculiar form.
Senju Tobirama is Sarutobi Hiruzen’s teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen is Orochimaru’s teacher, does this Orochimaru not have as high a status as imagined?
So...
The real suspicion should be...
Could Orochimaru and Uehara truly be close friends?
Could it be that Orochimaru was once a vassal of the Uehara Race, but later defected because he coveted the Reanimation Jutsu?
This matter...
Seems a bit plausible when you think about it.
"Are you thinking of something impolite?"
Orochimaru noticed Aizen Sosuke’s odd gaze, a sinister smile crossed his face: "It seems no matter how much I say, you won’t understand what kind of individuals we’re up against, you might as well go see these powerful guys for yourself..."
Orochimaru slowly raised his head, the sinister smile on his face growing wider: "I heard that Uehara Naraku encountered an assassination... the second officer of the Thirteen Deadguard, Senju Hashirama, and the fifth officer, Senju Tobirama, went to the Mortal World?"
"That is indeed the case."
Aizen Sosuke adjusted his glasses, speaking in a low voice: "Besides the second officer, Senju Hashirama, and the fifth officer, Senju Tobirama, there’s also the seventh officer, Namikaze Minato, the eighth officer, Uchiha Obito, the ninth officer, Uchiha Itachi..."
The Uehara Race dispatched five officers all at once!
Such a strong lineup, it’s impossible not to take notice!
Every captain within the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads is aware of this. Aizen Sosuke, as the Captain of Squad 5 and Uehara Naraku’s direct superior, is no exception...
"Five officers..."
Orochimaru slowly clenched his fingers, sneering: "This force they’re sending this time is enough to destroy the entire Mortal World!"
Recalling his arrangements, Aizen Sosuke slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "Looks like something interesting is going to happen..."
At the same time.
In the Otherworldly Space.
Tosen Kaname and Ulquiorra were a bit awkward.
Though they were in the same camp, Tosen Kaname’s direct superior was Senju Tobirama, while Ulquiorra was formerly directly under Orochimaru and later fell under Uehara Naraku himself.
Seriously speaking...
Tosen Kaname’s rank was a bit lower.
Ulquiorra looked at Tosen Kaname, whose eyes were obscured, and softly inquired: "Mr. Tosen Kaname, I’m curious, Lord Orochimaru has often praised Lord Tobirama’s wisdom, what kind of person is he?"
"A... great person."
Tosen Kaname slowly bowed his head. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Because he had just received Senju Tobirama’s promise, as long as he found the right opportunity in the future to point out Aizen Sosuke’s crimes before Yamamoto Shigekuni, and successfully expel Aizen Sosuke from the Soul Society...
Senju Tobirama would transplant eyes for him!
Whether it’s the favor of helping him kill his enemy before, or the promise to transplant eyes for him, it all makes Tosen Kaname willing to be loyally devoted to Senju Tobirama!
Mortal World.
The story in the Hollow World is just about to reach a conclusion.
The exciting story in the Mortal World has only just begun.
The 10th Squad led by Shiba Ishin of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads and the Anbu Shinigami Squad led by Namikaze Minato did not hide their whereabouts, and those hidden in the Mortal World soon heard their news.
Urahara Shop.
Ever since Aizen Sousuke orchestrated the Shinigami Hollowfication incident, Urahara Kisuke and others, with the help of Shihoin Yoruichi, escaped to the Mortal World to hide, and Soul Society temporarily accepted that Urahara Kisuke and others had already been exiled.
Because Shihoin Yoruichi is noble...
Also Hirako Shinji and others were originally Captain-level Shinigami.
Now, Urahara Kisuke has opened a shop in the Mortal World, specializing in selling Shinigami’s items, while secretly collecting information from Soul Society.
The main thing is...
Collecting Aizen Sousuke’s movements.
It’s just that the news from Soul Society keeps coming, and each piece of news is exceptionally shocking to Urahara Kisuke and others.
The first news...
Urahara Kisuke’s teacher Yakushi Kabuto disappeared.
This news didn’t actually panic Urahara Kisuke.
Because in the past, Urahara Kisuke was highly valued by Yakushi Kabuto; he also knew that Yakushi Kabuto had joined the Zero Squad and had even borrowed Yakushi Kabuto multiple times to train there for a period of time.
In Urahara Kisuke’s view, Yakushi Kabuto’s disappearance should be similar to Hikifune Kirio’s, who went into hiding to train in the Soul King Palace, given that Yakushi Kabuto was accepted by the Zero Squad hundreds of years ago...
The only issue is Kuchiki Rukia.
Luckily, that little fellow Kuchiki Rukia was also adopted by the Kuchiki Clan, seemingly without anyone noticing anything unusual...
The second news...
The new Patriarch of the Uehara Race, Uehara Naraku, joined the 5th Squad.
This news undoubtedly made Urahara Kisuke feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. No matter what, the Uehara Race concerns the safety of Soul Society. If Uehara Naraku were to be secretly harmed or used by Aizen Sousuke, it might lead to an internal war within Soul Society.
However, before Urahara Kisuke could discuss with Yoruichi about approaching Uehara Naraku, to warn that little fellow to beware of Aizen Sousuke, the third news arrived...
The Masked Legion sent people to assassinate the new Patriarch of the Uehara Race, attempting to incite an internal war in Soul Society and aiming to obliterate Soul Society, an egregious crime!
This news is bad.
Whether for Urahara Kisuke and others or for the Masked Legion like Hirako Shinji, who are active in the Mortal World, this news even sounds somewhat fatal!
The most crucial news quickly came over...
Vice Captain of Squad 5 Uehara Naraku, Captain of Squad 10 Shiba Ishin, and the Seventh Seat Officer of Thirteen Deadguard Namikaze Minato have joined forces, leading a large army into the Mortal World to capture the perpetrators!
"You must be kidding..."
Urahara Kisuke looked at the black cat sitting opposite him, and his mouth couldn’t hide his astonishment, even the small fan in his hand stopped moving: "How could such a crime fall on us? Haven’t Hirako and the others been well-behaved recently?"
"Not sure..."
The black cat spoke, her figure gradually transforming.
A purple-haired beauty with brown skin sat across from Urahara Kisuke. Her face no longer carried its usual joy, just frowned and said, "This incident of the attempted assassination on Uehara Naraku is too big. The Fifth Seat Officer of the Uehara Race, Senju Tobirama, personally pressured the higher-ups to find the perpetrators as a warning, to prevent similar incidents..."
"Heh, definitely another trick by Aizen..."
Urahara Kisuke chuckled lightly at the corner of his mouth, immediately revealing the name of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Back when Aizen Sousuke framed him and Hirako Shinji, Urahara Kisuke had already considered Aizen Sousuke as his greatest enemy and was very familiar with Aizen Sousuke’s tactics!
Urahara Kisuke slightly shook his head, showing some regret: "Looks like we’ve really been set up as scapegoats! Shiba Ishin and the 10th Squad are relatively easy to deal with, but the Uehara Race is a prestigious clan even Teacher Kabuto takes care not to cross..."
As Urahara Kisuke said this, he spoke softly again: "I remember Teacher Kabuto mentioned that the Patriarch of the Uehara Race would have the Eighth and Ninth Seat Officers as his constant bodyguards, along with the Seventh Seat Officer Namikaze Minato..."
"Namikaze Minato, huh..."
Shihoin Yoruichi recalled past grievances, shaking her head slowly and whispered: "That guy is not the main problem this time because the real trouble lies ahead..."
Shihoin Yoruichi raised her head to look at Urahara Kisuke, solemnly saying: "According to the information I received in Quiet Spirit Court, besides Namikaze Minato, the Second Seat Officer Senju Hashirama and Fifth Seat Officer Senju Tobirama of the Uehara Race also moved out together..."
"..."
Urahara Kisuke fell into silence.
Due to his past tutelage under Yakushi Kabuto, Urahara Kisuke couldn’t help but understand the ranking of the thirteen Deadguard of the Uehara Race, and he particularly knew well what the top four seats represented...
Each of the top four seat officers...
Stands as a pinnacle of power within Soul Society!
It is precisely because of the presence of these top four seat officers that the Captain General of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni and the members of Zero Squad dared not rashly incite an internal war against the Uehara Race!
No need to be polite...
They’ve truly stirred up a colossal problem this time!
