Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 611 A Too Kind Young Death God

Under the sky.

A bizarre monster tore the sky apart.

The eerie monster stretched out its body and slowly landed on the ground, walking step by step towards a house. It then leaped up, ready to storm into the house and start its slaughter!

An ordinary family living in a house could not see it at all; these people were completely unaware that death was about to befall them.

These are creatures from the cracks of the dimensional world.

A monster called Void, evolved from human souls!

This ethereal creature resembles a monkey in appearance, but it is enormous. Its chest has a distinctive hollow, representing its inner emptiness, and its face is adorned with a skeletal mask.

Because Hollows are bizarre, spirit-like monsters, humans living in the present world cannot see them, and they have no way of escaping their attacks.

Only a few can see the existence of the illusory…

For example, some humans in the present world with powerful spiritual energy...

Humans are extremely rare. In comparison, there are many more beings who can see Hollows: the Hollows' mortal enemies... the Shinigami from Soul Society!

Any place where there is a void...

Death is almost certain to appear!

Just as the eerie Void rushed into the house, a figure in a white uniform suddenly appeared in front of the Void and kicked the monster away!

"Um?"

The ghost struggled to its feet again, slowly lowering its head to look at the figure in the white uniform, its voice immediately filled with disdain: "It's you Grim Reapers again, you're like a bunch of bedbugs in a puddle..."

Just as the creature was about to continue its tirade, it saw the boy in the white uniform and suddenly burst into laughter, as if it had discovered something new.

"Oh ho ho ho... Let me see, isn't this just a little Grim Reaper brat who hasn't even graduated from school yet?"

The Hollow suddenly lunged in front of the figure in the white uniform, arrogantly shouting, "Oh ho ho ho... Have I wiped out all the Shinigami of Soul Society? They sent a little brat instead?"

"No."

The boy in the white uniform slowly shook his head and calmly said, "It's just a graduation exam, and I just happened to be assigned here..."

next moment…

The boy's figure vanished from his spot with a series of swift movements, and in an instant appeared above the void, his hand suddenly reaching out to grab the void's mask!

"So fast..."

The ethereal body stiffened instantly!

Even it hadn't imagined that this young Grim Reaper would possess unimaginable speed, faster than anyone it had ever seen!

Just as the Void was about to struggle desperately, the boy had already tightly fastened one corner of the vital skeletal mask on its head!

"Feel sorry…"

The boy gripped the illusory mask tightly and calmly said, "Don't let your heart remain empty any longer. Return to your original self. This world isn't as bad as we think. I will perform the most complete soul burial ritual for you..."

"You...bastard..."

His head was throbbing with pain, and he screamed out!

Once the skeleton mask on the face of a Void creature is torn off, its spiritual power will rapidly dissipate, meaning it will be at the mercy of others!

This creature brandished its sharp claws, attempting to tear open the boy's chest!

Just as the boy was facing the most dangerous moment, a handsome figure appeared beside them in an instant, casually drawing his Zanpakuto from his waist. A sharp flash of light cleaved the Hollow in two!

This man is clearly killing...

If seeing his face still evokes a gentle warmth in one's heart, then one can be sure he is a good person.

"Captain Aizen..."

The boy's eyes widened involuntarily as he stared at the handsome man who had suddenly appeared, and he asked in disbelief, "How did you end up here..."

"I've always been here."

A gentle smile appeared on the handsome man's face. He slowly adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and said softly, "I believe that with Naraku's power, he can definitely pass this test, but you're still too kind-hearted..."

This is actually the graduation exam for the young Grim Reaper.

Compared to other candidates, the young Grim Reaper's exam is obviously more troublesome because his identity is extraordinary.

even…

Even his examiner was a high-ranking member of Soul Society.

He was Aizen Sousuke, one of the captains of the Seireitei guard in the central region of Soul Society, and the captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13.

If the young Shinigami's battle satisfies examiner Aizen Sousuke, he will be allowed to graduate from the Shinigami Academy and directly join the Gotei 13.

The examiner has now made his move…

This assessment is likely to end in failure.

"I can actually handle it myself..."

The boy had barely uttered a single word in his defense when he lowered his head, seemingly ashamed of his words: "I'm sorry... Captain Aizen... I shouldn't have..."

"It's alright."

Aizen Sousuke still wore a gentle smile as he looked down at the boy and comforted him with a smile: "Naraku, don't be too discouraged. You've done very well. I've never seen a genius at your age who can defeat an enemy in an instant with a single move..."

"Is...is that so?"

The boy still looked ashamed. He nervously clenched his fingers and whispered, "But I was still too cowardly. If Captain Aizen hadn't intervened..."

"This is not cowardice."

Aizen Sousuke smiled and shook his head, patted the boy's shoulder, and continued to explain, "This is kindness. Kindness is a noble quality worthy of praise."

I have to say…

Aizen Sousuke has a very infectious way of speaking.

Even though the boy knew that kindness was not suitable for brutal battles, he was still moved by the way Aizen's words made people subconsciously believe them.

"But…"

The boy seemed to feel some self-reproach.

Just as the boy was about to say something more about his remorse, Aizen interrupted him: "Naraku, don't blame yourself too much, just do what you want to do..."

"Yes, Captain Aizen."

The boy slowly nodded and took a deep breath.

After saying this, the young Grim Reaper took out a bunch of paper flowers from his body, folded them in his hand, and his expression gradually became solemn.

next second...

The paper flowers suddenly burst into flames!

This scene made Aizen's eyes narrow slightly. No matter when, seeing the boy's exquisite use of spiritual power would always make him feel amazed!

Even though the boy possesses a cowardice that shouldn't exist in the Grim Reaper, it doesn't diminish the fact that he is an absolutely unparalleled genius!

In the flames of burning paper flowers…

The boy slowly closed his eyes and whispered a prayer: "I hope you will never encounter hardship again in your future, and I hope you will have a peaceful life in your next life."

The boy was praying for the Hollow that Aizen had killed.

This behavior seems childish to anyone, especially to the Shinigami who know the origin and end of Hollows.

Aizen Sousuke didn't say anything, but calmly watched the boy pray, two glints of light flashing on his glasses.

The paper flowers slowly burned out in the firelight.

Just after the boy finished praying, a spatial vortex appeared in the sky, and two figures dressed in red robes with auspicious clouds emerged from the vortex and landed in front of the boy.

The two ignored Aizen Sousuke standing nearby.

One of them bowed respectfully to the boy and said in a low voice, "Lord Naraku, we should go back now."

"I see."

A hint of helplessness flashed across the boy's face. He looked at Aizen Sousuke beside him and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Captain Aizen... please tell Hinamori Momo and the others that I have to go back first."

"Um."

Aizen Sousuke smiled and nodded in agreement. He then continued with a smile, "Get some rest when you get back. Tomorrow... something wonderful should happen."

"..."

An irrepressible joy flashed across the boy's face.

Based on the current situation, there is probably nothing that would make a teenager feel better than passing an exam!

Aizen Sousuke, the chief examiner, must pass his test!

Unfortunately, the boy didn't have time to say a word of thanks before he could leave the mortal world with two figures dressed in black robes adorned with auspicious clouds.

The boy had just left.

A young man with short, light purple hair strolled over slowly. He was Gin Ichimaru, a subordinate of Aizen Sousuke and the current vice-captain of the Fifth Division.

Gin Ichimaru always squints his eyes, as if he can't see anything, making it impossible for others to read his gaze or guess what he's thinking.

Gin Ichimaru slowly walked towards Aizen, his voice low and menacing as he said, "Judging from the current situation, it seems our plan to attack Naraku during the exam has failed..."

"This was exactly what I expected."

Aizen Sousuke's face remained calm, but this calmness sent chills down one's spine. He continued casually, "Uehara Naraku is, after all, the head of the only powerful clan in Soul Society. Even when he's just attending classes at the Shinigami Academy, he's always surrounded by thirteen Death Servants for protection, let alone this exam to be held in the human world..."

No one could have imagined that Aizen Sousuke, who had just saved the boy from the Hollow's claws, actually wanted to attack that boy during this exam!

I really don't know...

What would that kind-hearted boy, who seemed to have complete faith in Aizen just moments ago, feel after overhearing Aizen and Gin's conversation...?

"Um."

Gin Ichimaru nodded indifferently, smiling as he continued, "And it's even more meticulously planned than we imagined. The Thirteen Dead Men have also entered Hueco Mundo's territory, and they've dealt with any Hollows who might have reached the Human World and threatened Naraku Uehara..."

"Those Hollows were originally just sacrifices in a test..."

Aizen Sousuke slowly adjusted his glasses, his brows furrowing slightly. "The only thing that surprised me is that, if we disregard his talent, Uehara Naraku's performance was far too cowardly..."

Gin Ichimaru watched Aizen's movements, seemingly remembering someone.

Gin Ichimaru lowered his head, smiled, and continued, "But Director Kabuto Yakushi personally praised Naraku Uehara. Since I was a child, I've never seen Director Kabuto praise anyone before..."

Gin Ichimaru is a homeless child from Rukongai.

It wasn't until a man named Kabuto Yakushi opened an orphanage in Rukongai that Gin Ichimaru and his childhood friends were able to grow up safely, and therefore he had great respect for the headmaster who raised him.

nature…

Gin Ichimaru completely believed what the dean had said.

"Of course Kabuto likes this cowardly little guy."

Aizen remained unfazed by Gin Ichimaru's words, saying softly, "Given Uehara Naraku's cowardly nature, this little guy being the head of the Uehara clan does indeed align with the interests of many in Soul Society, including us..."

As he said this, Aizen gently closed his glasses and whispered, "Never mind, I'll find a way to assign Uehara Naraku to the Fifth Division tomorrow. That will give us more opportunities to kill him."

"If only we could kill Uehara Naraku..."

Gin Ichimaru squinted and continued slowly, "The Soul Society will immediately be thrown into chaos, and there's even a possibility that the entire Soul Society will be destroyed..."

"Um."

A gentle breeze blows by.

Aizen Sousuke stretched out his palm, as if trying to grasp the wisp of wind, his voice gradually becoming ethereal: "The world is too peaceful, making it seem rather bland and tasteless."

"What a dangerous thought..."

Gin Ichimaru, clutching his Zanpakuto, chuckled and continued, "If that innocent and kind-hearted little guy, Naraku Uehara, knew that Captain Aizen, who had always taken care of him, was actually plotting to kill him and stir up chaos in Soul Society, I wonder how heartbroken he would be..."

Aizen Sousuke calmly shook his head and said softly, "If Uehara Naraku dies under my control, that will be the last lesson I teach him."

At this point, Aizen Sousuke adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, his expression softening once more: "Even the last lesson learned on the verge of death is a precious lesson."

"That's quite an interesting way of putting it..."

Gin Ichimaru chuckled softly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
