Free Web NovelChapter 854: Chapter 660: Don’t Tell Lies with Your Eyes Open! (Part 2)
Without a doubt...
Many powerful Death Gods are lurking in this Inner City.
Just the unintentionally leaked Spiritual Pressure alone is enough to stir fear and unease; even Urahara Kisuke marveled at the strength of these Death Gods’ Spiritual Pressure!
Among them was the Second Deadguard Senju Hashirama whom he had seen before...
Compared to when he was seen in the Mortal World, Senju Hashirama’s Spiritual Pressure seemed even stronger within the Uehara Inner City, even though he was unconsciously exuding it now!
Could it be...
He was suppressing his power in the Mortal World?
Even if Senju Hashirama was suppressing the power he could wield in the Mortal World, he could easily crush the entire Masked Legion!
The power of the Uehara Race...
Is indeed excessively formidable!
However, the stronger these people are, the better. For Urahara Kisuke, the stronger the Uehara Race appears to be, the higher the chance of his plan succeeding!
"There are very few people who can set foot here."
Just as Urahara Kisuke’s mind was turning, Senju Tobirama’s cold voice appeared in his ear: "I thought you would bring good news, so I specifically ordered the guards to bring you to the Inner City after seeing you..."
The Uehara Inner City is not so easily entered.
Up until now, anyone wishing to enter the Uehara Inner City must receive permission from the Thirteen Deadguard, and even from those at the top.
Even Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni must honestly follow this procedure for wanting to come; it’s the foundation of a thousand-year prestigious clan.
Or perhaps...
It’s necessary for them to hide secrets.
Senju Tobirama glanced at Urahara Kisuke, and his expression instantly became a bit displeased: "Hmph, it seems I overestimated you. I assumed you’d bring the culprit’s corpse over... now it seems you want to rely on your words to convince me?"
"Certainly not."
Urahara Kisuke slowly shook his head, reaching a hand to adjust his hat brim, a hint of confidence flashing across his face: "What I can offer this time... may very well be what Tobirama and the entire Uehara Race desire most."
Indeed.
Based on Urahara Kisuke’s conjecture.
What he possesses, is certainly what the entire Uehara Race wants the most!
Senju Tobirama’s face showed a hint of disdain as he coldly spoke: "What the Uehara Race wants most is Yakushi Kabuto’s life... Can you, a mere brat, manage to kill Yakushi Kabuto?"
"No..." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Urahara Kisuke continued to slowly shake his head, his expression gradually becoming solemn, continuing word by word: "What if I say... I found the source of the leak for the Reanimation Jutsu?"
"..."
Senju Tobirama’s expression suddenly changed.
For the Uehara Race, clearly, nothing was more important than the Reanimation!
Senju Tobirama suddenly reached out his palm, suddenly gripping Urahara Kisuke, using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to instantly disappear!
In that instant they vanished...
Urahara Kisuke didn’t even have time to stop him!
By the time Urahara Kisuke reacted, his body was already taken by Senju Tobirama to appear in a secret chamber.
Senju Tobirama’s face was exceedingly grim, as he stared intently at Urahara Kisuke and spoke in a deep voice: "What do you know, brat?"
"A great deal."
Urahara Kisuke’s mind instantly became clear.
At this moment, Urahara seemed to grasp the initiative, speaking leisurely: "Today, perhaps compared to the history of thousands of years it might be insignificant, but even so, it should be enough for you and the Uehara Race, right?"
"Hmm?"
Senju Tobirama squinted slightly, making one subconsciously feel Senju Tobirama’s threat, seemingly ready to erupt into dangerous actions at any time.
Urahara Kisuke paid no attention.
This shopkeeper adjusted his hat brim and spoke softly: "Thousands of years ago, the legendary Cold Lord Orochimaru’s whereabouts..."
Saying this, Urahara glanced at Senju Tobirama’s eyes and immediately corrected himself: "No, perhaps I should say, the whereabouts of the Uehara Race traitor, Orochimaru!"
"...Hmph... Interesting!"
Senju Tobirama’s face showed shock momentarily.
At that moment, Senju Tobirama appeared as though a massive secret had been uncovered.
However, due to his status, he immediately composed himself, merely grunted, suddenly looked at Urahara Kisuke with a small sneer: "This sort of thing shouldn’t be something you, a brat, should know..."
"But I already know."
Urahara Kisuke argued back, hurriedly clarified: "Of course, this isn’t to provoke Tobirama, I merely want to state a fact, and I believe that in the entire Quiet Spirit Court, I am not the only one who knows this."
After saying this, Urahara Kisuke suddenly raised his head, speaking seriously: "And there is another person, perhaps knows clearer about Orochimaru and the Uehara Race’s relationship because he’s always been the one to erase evidence for Orochimaru!"
"...Hmm?"
Senju Tobirama suddenly looked up, his face displaying stark anger: "Are you saying... it’s Yamamoto Shigekuni?"
"...Er, certainly not."
Urahara Kisuke couldn’t help but rub his head, nearly being misled by Senju Tobirama’s words. After reacting, Urahara immediately spoke: "If possible, I want to learn the truth back then, perhaps I have a greater grasp..."
"What grasp?"
"Greater grasp..."
Urahara Kisuke raised his head to gaze at Senju Tobirama, a confident smile flashing: "To help the Uehara Race capture Orochimaru... and that person covering for Orochimaru!"
"..."
Senju Tobirama fell back into silence.
After a long period, Senju Tobirama slowly sat in a chair within the chamber, calmly closing his eyes: "Before that, are you ready to accept the full truth of all this? If you dare deceive me, you should know the consequences of offending the Uehara Race in the Soul Society..."
"Certainly."
Urahara Kisuke’s mouth curved slightly.
Who in the Soul Society doesn’t know the fate of crossing the Uehara Race?
Urahara Kisuke was Yakushi Kabuto’s disciple; he knew his teacher was almost repeatedly pushed to death by the Uehara Race, and if one technique were used on him, he’d surely meet his end!
But Urahara Kisuke had this confidence.
Upon seeing Tobirama’s reaction to Orochimaru news, he knew he was halfway successful; as long as he could obtain the complete truth from thousands of years ago, not only could he persuade the Uehara Race to ally with him, perhaps he could even turn them into allies with Yakushi Kabuto!
The Uehara Race...
Seemed to hate Orochimaru even more than Yakushi Kabuto!
"This matter can actually hardly be called a secret..."
Senju Tobirama closed his eyes, softly beginning a long tale: "Looks like you should know, that the Reanimation Jutsu was invented by me, later completed by that little brat Orochimaru, then further perfected in your teacher Yakushi Kabuto’s hands..."
"..."
Urahara Kisuke lowered his head a bit, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes, this matter he really didn’t know!
Senju Tobirama didn’t look at Urahara Kisuke, he merely continued with closed eyes: "After Orochimaru completed the Reanimation Jutsu, in order to obtain a powerful Reanimation Legion, he left the Soul Society. Before that, we didn’t intend to pursue him... Until he relied on Reanimation to disrupt the Mortal World’s life-and-death order..."
An unexciting story was recounted, even as Senju Tobirama spoke entirely with closed eyes, seemingly because he isn’t accustomed to lying with his eyes open...
In Senju Tobirama’s narration, they seemed quite lenient towards Orochimaru, just as Yakushi Kabuto was lenient towards Urahara Kisuke...
"...Because Orochimaru holds many Secret Techniques, in order to avoid leaking clan Secret Techniques, the Uehara secretly set out to eliminate Orochimaru, but unfortunately, he ultimately escaped...
We understand Orochimaru’s danger and difficulty, and to conceal Orochimaru’s threat, the Uehara Race has deliberately lessened the existence of Orochimaru over thousands of years, even fabricated a story for him...
Sadly, false is ultimately false."
