Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 614 Those who were once deceived, these Grim Reapers are never simple!

The paper flower slowly burned in Uehara Naraku's hand.

As a group of incredibly powerful individuals watched Uehara Naraku pray for the deceased Menos Grande, each of them couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken and lost.

If this person were truly innocent and kind, they might have let it go. However, Uehara Naraku didn't possess any of these admirable qualities...

This scene…

It seems utterly absurd to people.

Only after Uehara Naraku finished praying did Uchiha Obito suppress his emotions and speak, "Yakushi Kabuto is waiting for you in the Kamui dimension; something must have happened..."

"Hmph, what could possibly happen?"

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, a mocking glint in his eyes: "That guy has been fighting us fiercely for the past few hundred years..."

For hundreds of years within the Seireitei, Kabuto Yakushi and the Uehara clan were absolute enemies, and no one believed they could coexist peacefully.

Even after Uehara Naraku reappeared as the head of the family during this period, Yakushi Kabuto always addressed him with great respect, and every time they met, he would give Uehara Naraku a simple smile...

however…

However, people always thought that Kabuto Yakushi had ill intentions.

Because of his experience…

That's so deceptive.

After all, given Kabuto Yakushi's identity and his centuries-long history of outwitting and fighting against the most powerful clan in Soul Society, no matter how you look at Kabuto Yakushi's innocent smile, you can't help but feel uneasy...

For example, Aizen Sousuke, the mastermind behind the storm in Soul Society, actually doesn't think much of the Uehara clan, but he values ​​Kabuto Yakushi's existence very much...

Because in Aizen's view...

Kabuto Yakushi possessed an aura of similarity.

Unfortunately, Kabuto Yakushi was not weak, and he was also very cunning, so many Shinigami were willing to follow him.

the most important is…

Kabuto Yakushi also knew Aizen Sousuke's true colors.

Or rather, they both knew each other's true nature, and sometimes they cooperated while at other times they deceived each other.

When Aizen Sousuke took Ichimaru Gin as his subordinate, he knew that there must be a connection between Ichimaru Gin and Yakushi Kabuto. He was just using the mentor-mentee relationship between Yakushi Kabuto and Ichimaru Gin.

However, Aizen Sousuke was unaware of this...

Everything he knew and saw was what Yakushi Kabuto wanted him to see.

As for Kabuto Yakushi's true identity, it will only appear in the most secretive place, which is the Kamui dimension that he and Obito Uchiha can connect to.

Divine Power Space.

This mysterious space, accessible only by the Kamui Sharingan, became the meeting place for Kabuto Yakushi, the Thirteen Dead Men, and Naraku Uehara.

When Kabuto saw Uehara Naraku, Uchiha Madara, and the others enter the Kamui dimension, a respectful expression flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but smile: "Lord Naraku, since I will be residing in the Soul King Palace tomorrow, I would like to report some news to you today..."

"Um."

Uehara Naraku nodded slowly, and his body slowly sat down. Instantly, a stone chair appeared on the ground to support his body.

The plan to have Kabuto Yakushi join the Zero Division and enter the Soul King Palace through Edo Tensei or other means was something they had devised hundreds of years ago.

Orochimaru had originally received an invitation from the Zero Division, but Uehara Naraku rejected the offer because Orochimaru's power was not strong enough.

In comparison, Kabuto Yakushi, who developed the White Zetsu Armor, is more suitable to enter the Soul King Palace and can also report the Zero Division's news to Naraku Uehara at any time.

"Let's talk about it."

Uehara Naraku sat on the stone chair, slowly resting his chin on his hand, exuding a lazy aura.

It's just this languor...

It's more like a ferocious beast feigning sleep.

Even just sitting there...

Yet it seems to allow one to see a black hole capable of swallowing everything!

"It's truly terrifying..."

Kabuto's lips curled into a smile as he praised, "Compared to Lord Naraku's immense power, the Soul King is truly no match for him..."

Having witnessed the Spirit King firsthand, Kabuto Yakushi knew exactly how powerful the Spirit King's spiritual energy was, but he didn't believe that the Spirit King could compare to Uehara Naraku at his peak!

No matter how powerful a person is...

When Uehara Naraku truly reveals his power, he always appears utterly vulnerable, which stems from Kabuto Yakushi's confidence in Uehara Naraku.

It's that saying that's been circulating among them...

The Uehara Naraku that everyone can see is exactly what Uehara Naraku wants them to see; no one can possibly know the true hidden power within Uehara Naraku!

No matter how strong a person is...

Uehara Naraku will definitely become stronger than him!

Madara Uchiha looked at Kabuto Yakushi with disdain and said, "Hmph, what you said is probably true, but it sounds more like flattery towards Uehara..."

"..."

Kabuto's expression turned somewhat strange.

As someone who had once worked with Madara Uchiha, Kabuto Yakushi understood Madara's personality; Madara was never stingy with praising those who were powerful…

But at this moment…

Listening to Madara Uchiha's words always felt a bit strange.

Uehara Naraku tilted his head and slowly said, "Kabuto, let's get down to business. Is everything arranged?"

"Yes."

Kabuto nodded seriously and said softly, "After I leave, Gin will temporarily take my place and directly deliver information about Aizen Sousuke and the Hogyoku to Lord Naraku..."

The pharmacist's mouth mentioned silver...

Naturally, this refers to Gin Ichimaru, who grew up in an orphanage.

Currently, Gin Ichimaru is ostensibly a subordinate of Sosuke Aizen and the vice-captain of the Fifth Division. Furthermore, Gin Ichimaru is about to be promoted to captain of the Third Division.

"Oh? Gintoki Ichimaru?"

A flicker of curiosity crossed Uehara Naraku's face. He tapped his cheek with his fingers and slowly asked, "Kabuto, if you enter the Soul King's Palace, do you think Ichimaru Gin will still be reliable?"

"There won't be any problems."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and calmly explained, "We've always believed that no one is more suitable than Lord Naraku to be the supreme god ruling this world, and Gin is no exception..."

As he said this, a glint flashed behind Kabuto's glasses, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly: "Besides, Gin grew up by my side. He's exactly like me when I was a child. I know his choice very well..."

Kabuto Yakushi detected a similar aura on Gin Ichimaru.

When Gin Ichimaru grew up in an orphanage, Kabuto Yakushi noticed the qualities he possessed: people like him, once they found their own inner bond…

From now on, I will never lose my way again!

Similarly, they can no longer escape the bonds of ties!

As long as Gin Ichimaru still has bonds in his heart, there is no need to worry about him betraying him. For Gin Ichimaru, the most important things are three things.

Matsumoto Rangiku, Yakushi Kabuto, and the Orphanage.

What Kabuto Yakushi did was very simple: he took care of the homeless children who grew up in the orphanage, just like his former headmistress, Nono Yakushi, had done.

Kabuto and Nonou are very similar now; they are both orphanage directors, both medical ninjas, and both value every child they adopt…

It's a bit subtle...

They are all spies for certain people.

As Uehara Naraku listened to Yakushi Kabuto's words, he slowly realized something, and his expression became somewhat strange: "Why does this situation feel vaguely familiar..."

This…

What's going on?!

If he had taken the script of Black Zetsu, that would be one thing; taking the script of the Uchiha clan would also be acceptable. But now it feels like he has taken the script of Shimura Danzo!

"There's no need to worry about Yin's accident."

Kabuto Yakushi smiled and continued, "Not long ago, Lord Orochimaru, who was living in seclusion in Hueco Mundo, secretly contacted Gin. He also believed that this young man had extraordinary potential, even surpassing me in the past..."

"Hmm..."

Uehara Naraku's expression grew increasingly strange, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. This matter was starting to resemble Shimura Danzo's past...

Forget it.

Even though the situation was somewhat similar to past events, Uehara Naraku knew that he and Shimura Danzo were fundamentally different; Shimura Danzo was no good person…

Uehara Naraku pondered for a moment before slowly nodding and saying, "Since you've chosen Ichimaru Gin, I'll trust him for now... How's Orochimaru?"

"Things are going well on Lord Orochimaru's side as well."

Kabuto nodded and chuckled, saying, "According to our plan, when Aizen Sousuke goes to Hueco Mundo next time, he will soon meet Lord Orochimaru and learn from him the secrets of the Uehara clan from thousands of years ago..."

This is a really big move...

But Aizen Sousuke is indeed a remarkable person!

Even Kabuto Yakushi had to admit Aizen's excellence. Besides arranging for Gin Ichimaru to infiltrate Aizen's inner circle, they also needed to specifically arrange for Orochimaru, who was living in seclusion in Hueco Mundo, to be another spy infiltrating Aizen's inner circle...

Aizen Sousuke doesn't trust anyone.

However, Aizen will not let go of anyone he can use!

Orochimaru, whose identity and backstory were specially arranged by Uehara Naraku, coupled with his own expertise in soul research experiments, was a fatal temptation for Aizen!

Whether it's the secrets Orochimaru knows or the abilities he possesses, Aizen Sousuke would never let go of the opportunity to recruit this figure who has existed for thousands of years!

"it is good."

Uehara Naraku slowly nodded and said in a low voice, "Since you've already made the arrangements, then train with the Zero Division at the Spirit King Palace for a while... If you encounter any danger, immediately tell me through the Kamui Dimension."

As his most trusted subordinate…

Or rather, he is currently the most valuable subordinate.

Kabuto Yakushi was of great significance to Uehara Naraku, so it was impossible for him to suffer any accident and perish in the Spirit King Palace.

To be honest...

If it were for Kabuto Yakushi's safety, Uehara Naraku wouldn't mind overturning the table in the entire Soul Society and engaging in a head-on battle with the entire Soul Society!

As for the main quest of collecting the Hogyoku…

It's possible that Uehara will have to take matters into his own hands in the end!

Within this world of Bleach, the most important thing to Uehara Naraku is the Hogyoku, which was created by Aizen Sousuke and Urahara Kisuke by a twist of fate.

The problem is that I've never really figured this out...

So far, they haven't produced any Hogyoku, but they've spawned quite a few high-level Hollows. Perhaps it requires the right time, place, and specific spiritual power...

Bōgyoku.

It was actually a product of a series of unexpected events.

Because the Hogyoku can unleash its master's potential, allowing the master to evolve significantly and gain power beyond dimensional limitations...

This eerie power…

It might even have a miraculous effect on Uehara Naraku!

Besides the Hogyoku, Uehara Naraku speculated that there might be a hidden quest in this world to collect the power of the Soul King, since as the will of the entire world, the Soul King could not possibly be absent from the quest list.

A layout spanning thousands of years.

Uehara Naraku gradually made moves in Soul Society.

Every step was perfectly logical. By creating conflicts little by little, they gradually pushed Soul Society and Hueco Mundo onto the track they wanted to enter.

As for what comes next, Orochimaru and Gin Ichimaru will be responsible for following up on Aizen Sousuke, while Kabuto Yakushi will be responsible for monitoring the Soul King's condition at the Soul King's palace.

"Speaking of which..."

Uehara Naraku tilted his head again, remembering someone who had been completely oblivious: "Kabuto, has Urahara Kisuke contacted you again?"

Kisuke Urahara…

He was a key figure in the creation of the Hogyoku!

In a sense, Kisuke Urahara was no less cunning than Sosuke Aizen; in fact, all of his plans were subtly aligned with the schemes of others, gradually weaving in his own schemes...

"Not yet..."

A hint of apology flashed across Kabuto's face as he said in a low voice, "I haven't seen any trace of Urahara since he was banished from Soul Society."

"What a pity..."

A hint of regret flashed across Uehara Naraku's face. He slowly shook his head and said, "Urahara was probably the first disciple you took on in Soul Society, wasn't he?"

"Feel sorry…"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kabuto's forehead as he hurriedly said, "However, at that time I hadn't yet gained control over Urahara's bonds, so I didn't reveal my relationship with Lord Naraku to him. He won't interfere with our plans..."

However, aside from these things, Kabuto Yakushi taught Urahara quite a lot, because it was the first time he had ever met a little guy like Kisuke Urahara who could completely keep up with his thinking.

However, this also led to a miscalculation by Kabuto…

He had no idea that Kisuke Urahara would actually leave him!

Kabuto Yakushi originally thought he had everything under control when he was teaching Urahara, and even planned to slowly train Urahara to become a formal member of Akatsuki. He never expected that Urahara Kisuke would act on his own and leave his tutelage!

Ultimately, Kisuke Urahara was forced to leave Soul Society because of his unauthorized confrontation with Aizen during the Visored incident, which led to Aizen's machinations.

Kabuto Yakushi deeply felt that there was no room for negligence in this world.

Whether it's Aizen Sousuke, Urahara Kisuke, or even Ichimaru Gin, they all possess exceptional wisdom and cunning. If it weren't for Uehara Naraku standing behind them, Kabuto Yakushi wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could gain the upper hand in their schemes!

These people aren't brainless pirates!

The people of this world possess remarkably high intelligence!

Kabuto slowly lowered his head, his voice hoarse as he said, "I'm sorry, Naraku-sama, Urahara's matter... has disappointed you..."

"It's alright."

Uehara Naraku sat up straight, clasped his hands together, and slowly said, "You can stay in the Spirit King Palace in peace. I will handle this matter... He deceived my most trusted subordinate, and I will let him know that some taboos have long been marked with a price..."

Ah, the background has been roughly laid out!

I wonder if everyone enjoyed watching Bleach? If you did, please vote for me!
