Free Web NovelChapter 833: Chapter 650: The Captured Hostages and the Forced Urahara
Urahara Kisuke’s thoughts are actually very thorough.
Because the intelligence from Soul Society was quite detailed, Urahara Kisuke considered the possibility of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama brothers appearing.
Before the Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama brothers appeared, Urahara Kisuke had communicated with the Masked Shinigami Legion, hoping they would display the power brought by Hollowfication, making the Uehara Race hesitate to act against them.
After all, after obtaining Hollowfication power...
Hirako Shinji and a group of Captain Level Shinigami had already broken through the limits.
According to Urahara Kisuke’s thoughts, not to mention being able to defeat the Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama brothers, at least they can entangle them for quite some time, letting the Uehara Race know these exiles are not easy to deal with...
However...
The Masked Legion lost too quickly!
Or rather, the strength of the Uehara Race’s Thirteen Deadguard was too formidable!
In this confrontation, the front-line battle hadn’t even lasted a few minutes, and the entire Masked Legion had already completely collapsed. When Hirako Shinji was defeated by Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama relied on his overwhelming power to crush Ushoda Hachigen.
The entire Masked Legion was effortlessly captured alive...
In this battle, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama didn’t even use their Zanpakuto, the disparity in combat power was simply frustrating.
Compared to the battle here...
The battle on the other side was about to end.
Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to suppress Shihoin Yoruichi in her Black Cat Warrior Princess form, recapturing this woman he had once caught.
The entire battlefield...
Urahara Kisuke no longer held any advantage.
Uehara Naraku glanced at the captured Masked Shinigami, softly said: "It seems they are not opponents of Mr. Hashirama and Mr. Tobirama... I just wonder where you hid the one who attacked me and Captain Aizen..."
"That person should have nothing to do with the Masked Legion..."
Urahara Kisuke frowned slightly.
According to information from Soul Society, a young man wearing a Hollowfied bone mask assassinated Uehara Naraku and severely injured Aizen Sousuke.
Such a thing...
Can only deceive the ignorant.
Aizen Sousuke is not so easily dealt with!
Someone capable of unleashing Splitting Void without chanting, how could he be stealthily injured by a Masked Shinigami!
Yet it is quite effective...
Because Aizen Sousuke was injured protecting Uehara Naraku.
Precisely because of this, Uehara Naraku, as the young patriarch, has been pursuing the true culprit relentlessly, supported by the entire Uehara Race.
If everyone were naive, the Uehara Race, this Soul Society’s noble clan, should owe Aizen Sousuke a favor.
Now...
Uehara Naraku’s behavior shows he feels indebted to Aizen.
"Mr. Urahara..."
Uehara Naraku frowned slightly, speaking solemnly: "I cannot determine if what you say is true, but as far as I know, you are the only one who has conducted Shinigami Hollowfication experiments in recent years..."
"Wait..."
Urahara Kisuke couldn’t help but interrupt Uehara Naraku. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Isn’t this a bit of slander?
What do you mean the only one conducting Shinigami Hollowfication experiments in recent years!
Does your Uehara Race claim to be clean? For such a large noble family, they must have conducted Kinjutsu experiments privately more than once!
Decades ago, when Senju Tobirama met Urahara, he had admitted their Uehara Race had long been conducting Shinigami Hollowfication experiments!
But before Urahara Kisuke could explain, Uehara Naraku shook his head to stop what he wanted to say, his expression becoming increasingly serious: "There is no need to explain, Mr. Urahara, please don’t force me to do something disrespectful..."
"Huh?"
Urahara Kisuke couldn’t help but grip his cane.
His cane contains his Zanpakuto Benihime!
As the Spiritual Pressure on him was just about to erupt, the figures of Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi suddenly emerged from a time-space vortex, floating beside Uehara Naraku to protect their patriarch.
Urahara Kisuke had no choice but to suppress his inner thoughts, as he had no confidence in winning against these people...
Moreover...
Shihoin Yoruichi and the Masked Legion had already been captured by the Uehara Race.
"Young Patriarch, even if you capture us, it is of no use."
Urahara Kisuke fiddled with his hand, slowly reached up to adjust his hat, and spoke in a low voice: "Because I really don’t know who that Masked attacker who assaulted Aizen is... we are merely innocent people hiding in the Mortal World..."
Urahara Kisuke hinted at a sense of hopelessness.
Even in front of Uehara Naraku, Urahara Kisuke didn’t mind playing the victim.
"Hmm?"
Uehara Naraku’s brow furrowed slightly.
At that moment, he seemed like a bewildered novice, not knowing what to do with Urahara Kisuke... After all, he has always been a kind person,
Urahara Kisuke seems to be...
truly quite innocent in this matter.
The next moment, Uehara Naraku’s expression was slightly strange.
Isn’t this obvious!
Of course, Urahara Kisuke is innocent!
Being assassinated was just Uehara Naraku and Aizen Sousuke playing at acting with each other. Urahara Kisuke was merely a convenient sacrificial pawn, coincidentally holding grudges against both Uehara Naraku and Aizen Sousuke, the two masterminds...
Uehara Naraku indeed already thought of a way to handle this...
It’s just that he really can’t be the one to play the villain.
Uehara Naraku’s brow furrowed slightly, his face seeming a bit undecided. His fingers slowly rose from within his sleeve.
The next moment...
Senju Tobirama flew over under his control.
"If you are unwilling to hand over the culprit, then force him to!"
Senju Tobirama hovered beside Uehara Naraku, and snorted coldly: "Although Urahara Kisuke doesn’t know who the culprit is, he holds the greatest suspicion!
We will first take all of his companions, and when he finds out the truth and hands us the culprit, we will release them!
If you are truly innocent...
Then produce proof of your innocence!"
"This..."
Uehara Naraku showed a hint of hesitation.
"As the Patriarch, why are you still hesitating!"
Senju Tobirama felt the urge to curse. What’s Uehara doing, manipulating him to play the villain while acting as the good guy here?
When Senju Tobirama wanted to scold Uehara Naraku...
Urahara Kisuke also felt like cursing at this Fifth Seat Officer, Senju Tobirama.
No wonder even his teacher, Yakushi Kabuto, had some respect for him; truly despicable to an extent. Unable to find the real culprit, they come to trouble him, the suspect. Is this something a human would do?
Emotion flared in Urahara Kisuke’s eyes; suppressing a swell of anger, his voice pressed low: "So, Mr. Tobirama means to use Yoruichi and Hirako to threaten me into helping you find the culprit, correct?"
Seriousness flashed across Urahara Kisuke’s face as he stared intently at Uehara Naraku, speaking as though in question: "Is this how Uehara Race treats the innocent?"
"Hm?"
Senju Tobirama turned to look at Urahara Kisuke, a hint of disdain on his face, speaking coldly: "Who do you think you are? Once Yakushi Kabuto’s disciple; I might have respected you for that. Now, you’re just a traitorous discard from the Uehara Race..."
Senju Tobirama looked at Urahara Kisuke, who was visibly changing color, and continued with a cold snort: "If you are not the mastermind behind all of this, then find the evidence for the real culprit!
The fact that I leave you alive today is only because I think there’s still some humanity in you, kid. Find the culprit, then come to Soul Society to exchange for your companions..."
"Now, only two paths lie before you!"
Senju Tobirama focused on Urahara Kisuke, speaking coldly: "If you can convince the Central 46 and the Thirteen Deadguard’s council, then go to Soul Society with me to stand trial; if you wish to rescue Shihoin Yoruichi and those masked kids, then bring the assassin of Naraku to Uehara City to find me!"
Urahara Kisuke definitely cannot go to trial.
Because if he went to trial, there would be no one to save him this time.
This is also part of Uehara Naraku’s plan.
Arresting Urahara Kisuke here won’t help much.
Because Urahara Kisuke is indeed quite innocent in this affair. Instead, taking away Shihoin Yoruichi and the Masked Legion would force this recluse to act and cause trouble for Aizen Sousuke!
Regarding the assassination of Uehara Naraku and Aizen, with Urahara Kisuke’s intellect, he would certainly deduce that Aizen Sousuke is the masterminding hand; just the right moment for those two to clash!
"I understand."
Urahara Kisuke reached out to adjust his hat, speaking softly: "I will unearth the truth and hand over the culprit to you... I hope that when you learn the truth, you won’t regret it."
There doesn’t seem to be a better choice.
Moreover...
Urahara Kisuke already has a hypothesis.
No, perhaps there’s no need for a hypothesis, as the mastermind behind this has to be the same Aizen Sousuke conducting secret Hollowfication experiments!
As long as the truth can be revealed...
Letting the Uehara Race recognize Aizen Sousuke’s true nature might not be a bad outcome. After all, there’s a profound enmity between Urahara and Aizen Sousuke!
Then seize this chance to tear away Aizen Sousuke’s disguise!
One hopes that these arrogant members of Uehara Race won’t regret their current conduct in the future!
If they know that the assassin of Aizen they’re seeking is actually Aizen Sousuke’s puppet, by the time the truth unfolds, the expressions on the Uehara Race members will certainly be something to see!
Hopefully they...
won’t be too regretful and ashamed!
"I will uncover everything as soon as possible..."
Urahara Kisuke raised his head, looking at Uehara Naraku, and requested softly: "But before that time comes, I entrust Yoruichi and Hirako to the young patriarch’s care... please, don’t let them fall into the hands of the Central 46."
Besides Uehara Naraku, who was praised by Teacher Kabuto for his kindness...
Urahara Kisuke truly doesn’t trust anyone else from the Uehara Race.
