Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 623 Even if I am an Arrancar Hollow, I still say no to nesting dolls!

Nobody expected this...

After the other Shinigami squads wiped out the Hollows and left, a strange, pale young man infiltrated Soul Society and unleashed a devastating Cero at Uehara Naraku!

"Watch out, Vice-Captain Naraku!"

The Shinigami of the Fifth Division stared at this scene with expressions of horror!

Uehara Naraku unconsciously looked up and saw the emerald green Cero shooting down from the sky. He suddenly raised his palm towards the direction of the Cero and quickly began to gather the spiritual particles around him!

"Fire Array!"

A red barrier suddenly appeared in front of Uehara Naraku!

The barrier that Uehara Naraku released with his raised hand seemed to have an unusually high hardness, actually blocking the emerald green Cero, though the barrier dimmed slightly...

However, when they saw that Uehara Naraku was safe and sound, all the Shinigami, including Aizen Sousuke, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment…

Another emerald green Cero landed!

The second Cero was even more powerful, and it struck the Fire Array barrier in an instant, rapidly impacting its defenses. However, cracks had already appeared on the Fire Array, and it looked like it was about to be destroyed by the Cero!

A gentle chanting voice appeared on the stage.

Aizen Sousuke swiftly rushed towards Uehara Naraku, raising his finger and chanting a spell softly: "Chosen One of Heaven, Iron Walls, Dragon's Journey..."

This is the chant for the 81st chapter of the Hado system, "Danku"!

However, everyone could see that Aizen Sousuke didn't have time to finish chanting the Dian Kong. The emerald green Cero tore through the fire array, and the massive shockwave was about to hit Uehara Naraku directly!

Just then…

Just at the most dangerous moment...

Aizen Sousuke appeared beside Uehara Naraku with a Shunpo, extending his arms to block Uehara Naraku's path. He even smiled as he watched the emerald green Cero rushing towards him!

The emerald green Cero energy landed on Aizen Sousuke!

Blood trickled from the corner of the Fifth Division's mouth, yet he remained steadfastly in front of Uehara Naraku, tilting his head slightly as if to leave a final message: "Naraku, if I leave, you must take on the responsibility of the Fifth Division..."

"Captain Sousuke..."

Uehara Naraku's face was filled with uncontrollable surprise and sorrow. The next moment, he wanted to pull Aizen Sousuke back, but Aizen Sousuke was like an unshakable city wall, still standing firmly in place to block the impact of the Cero for him.

above the sky.

The pale-skinned youth standing within the spatial rift remained expressionless as he watched this scene. He extended his finger, which was brimming with emerald green energy. Just as the enemy was about to unleash a Cero…

The shape of a scarlet Sharingan appeared behind the pale youth!

Every Hollow in Hueco Mundo knew that the appearance of the Sharingan meant that the Uehara clan's bastards had appeared, and the pale-skinned youth's face couldn't help but change.

The next moment, he closed the spatial rift and hurriedly fled!

Only the severely injured Aizen Sousuke remained at the scene…

The captain of the Fifth Division fell down while protecting his subordinates.

"Captain...no!"

Uehara Naraku stared in disbelief at the fallen Aizen Sousuke, hurriedly reaching out to support him. His face was filled with sorrow and pain as he quickly gathered spiritual energy at his fingertips to heal Aizen.

"Don't waste your spiritual energy."

Even though Aizen Sousuke was severely injured, he still tried his best to maintain his elegant demeanor in front of his subordinates to reassure them: "The enemy may not have gone far, Naraku, take everyone back to Seireitei immediately."

"…yes."

Uehara Naraku slowly lowered his head.

Everything that just happened seemed to have a huge impact on him; his captain, Aizen Sousuke, almost died from a Cero while protecting him…

if…

If it wasn't Ulquiorra who made the move.

The enemy that just appeared was a naturally appearing Hollow, named Ulquiorra, who was considered extremely powerful in both Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.

The most crucial thing is...

Ulquiorra's identity.

Just as the Fifth Division was hurriedly carrying Aizen Sousuke back to Seireitei, Ulquiorra, who launched the attack, was standing in a spatial rift.

Standing beside Ulquiorra was a languid man in a white robe, whose spiritual pressure made Ulquiorra feel vaguely uncomfortable…

After all, this one can be considered the strongest Natural Arrancar...

Koyat Stark.

Koyatai Stark is so powerful that if you are not strong enough, you might be killed by the spiritual pressure he unconsciously releases, even if you are standing next to him!

This guy is very strong...

However, he is also a naturally lazy guy.

Koyatai Stark, at this moment, showed no signs of being the strongest Arrancar. Instead, he was like a father or older brother, dragging along a little girl wearing a skeleton suit and gently soothing her: "Hey, Lilynette, calm down..."

"Ugh... Why do I have to calm down?!"

The little girl turned to look at Stark, then at the two figures in black robes adorned with auspicious cloud patterns standing opposite them, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Stark, that's Uchiha Itachi, who once offended Lord Orochimaru!"

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Koyatai Stark pressed down on the little girl's head, shook his head, and sighed, "Behave yourself. Even Orochimaru hasn't paid attention to these things..."

Ulquiorra stood to the side and said softly, "Lilynet, fighting is forbidden among Akatsuki members unless there is a valid reason..."

"Gurgle..."

The little girl pouted, looking unhappy.

The Akatsuki's rules were very simple, yet everyone knew the punishment for breaking them. The little girl could only dejectedly give up on causing trouble for Itachi Uchiha.

However, she quickly found a new toy...

Before long, he was riding on Koyatai Stark's neck.

Koyatai Stark could only helplessly carry her on his back, and slowly began, "Speaking of which, Ulquiorra, how did your mission go?"

"There shouldn't be any errors."

Ulquiorra nodded slowly and calmly said, "Just as Lord Aizen and Lord Naraku planned, Lord Aizen is now seriously injured while protecting Lord Naraku..."

"There's something strange about what you're saying..."

The little girl, Lilynette, ruffled Stark's hair and muttered, "I really don't understand why they both pretend not to know when they clearly do..."

Koyatai Stark patted the little girl's thigh and explained softly, "Because there are things that Lord Aizen knows, and things that only Lord Naraku knows."

"I still don't understand..."

"Very simple."

Ulquiorra opened his palms, his pale face and green eyes giving him a somewhat eerie look. He began to explain earnestly, "My original goal was to severely injure Lord Aizen, so that I could find a way to escape the sight of the Uehara clan and gain the freedom to come to Hueco Mundo..."

According to Aizen's plan, while the Soul Society is still unaware of the Natural Arrancar, I will disguise myself as a member of the Visored and attack Lord Naraku, thereby drawing the attention of Lord Naraku and the Uehara clan to the Visored in the human world.

When their attention turns to the present world, Lord Aizen will be able to escape the Uehara clan's ever-present surveillance and return to Hueco Mundo to continue accumulating the power of our Arrancar.

By the way...

Lord Aizen will also gain the gratitude of the Uehara clan and Lord Naraku.

It must be said that…

This plan is indeed a bit of a headache.

Since Uehara Naraku has been living in the Fifth Division recently, the Uehara clan's assassins have increased their manpower to protect him and are taking turns on duty in the spatial rift.

Among them are naturally some figures that even Aizen Sousuke cannot ignore!

This inevitably led to Aizen Sousuke's actions being watched by the Uehara clan. In order to avoid revealing any flaws, Aizen Sousuke had to find a way to get the Uehara clan out as soon as possible, in order to gain himself a chance to act freely.

For this operation…

Aizen Sousuke even summoned Ulquiorra and Koyatai Stark, the two natural Arrancar he most admired!

Ulquiorra was in charge of taking action…

The duo of Koyatai Stark and Lilynette are tasked with stopping Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, the two dead servants!

To be honest...

Aizen Sousuke's considerations were undeniably thorough.

The little girl, Lilynet, couldn't help but scratch her head and whispered, "But Lord Aizen...didn't Lord Naraku know everything he did?"

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

Because the girl asked an extremely awkward question.

However, Ulquiorra wasn't embarrassed at all. He even calmly said, "Because according to Lord Naraku's plan, what he needs is for Lord Aizen to think he can escape the Uehara clan's surveillance and get to Hueco Mundo, back under our watchful eyes..."

"..."

Lilynette's eyes were somewhat vacant.

Koyatai Stark supported her and explained, "Actually, it was about making Lord Aizen move from one palace full of surveillance to another, but he considered the second palace his territory, which was also full of surveillance..."

"You should have said that earlier!"

Lilynette ruffled Stark's hair and pouted.

Ulquiorra shook his head and continued in a deep voice, "How could Lord Naraku's plan be so simple? He has been secretly manipulating everything ever since he joined the Fifth Division."

Lord Naraku personally arranged for the Dead Servants to monitor the Fifth Division, forcing Lord Aizen to find an opportunity to work with us to devise and execute this operation.

The ultimate goal of this operation was to make Aizen-sama choose to temporarily believe that he had Naraku under his control.

In most cases, trust between people is mutual.

After everything that happened today is over, Lord Naraku will definitely have even more respect for Lord Aizen, and Aizen will also believe that he can definitely keep Lord Naraku under his control.

Lord Aizen believed he was in control of everything…

Little did he know that everything he did was being manipulated by Lord Naraku behind the scenes.

"..."

Everyone present remained silent for a long time.

Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha could still understand it, but Koyatai Stark and Lilynette were already getting sleepy from all this nonsense.

"never mind."

Ulquiorra looked at Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha and said in a deep voice, "Then let's part ways here... I still need to arrange for Lord Aizen and Lord Orochimaru to meet. This is Lord Naraku's ultimate purpose in arranging for Lord Aizen to return to Hueco Mundo."

"it is good."

Itachi Uchiha slowly nodded.

To be honest, Itachi Uchiha hadn't seen anyone as diligent as Ulquiorra in a long time. Even among the Akatsuki members of his generation, it seemed that only Kisame Hoshigaki was this diligent!

Kisame Hoshigaki from that period...

It seems she's always been juggling multiple roles!

Looking at Ulquiorra, the workaholic, Obito seemed to recall something unpleasant and said coldly, "Remember to have Orochimaru prepare a story in advance, a story that is enough to attract Aizen Sousuke."

"rest assured."

Ulquiorra paused, then whispered, "This story will be captivating enough to completely capture Aizen's attention, making him believe that Orochimaru will become his greatest ally..."

At this point, Ulquiorra added softly, "Besides, Lord Orochimaru himself does indeed possess the power to create anything decisively..."

"I hope so."

Obito Uchiha's voice was hidden behind his mask, and no one knew his expression or attitude; all that could be heard was his indifference.

The next moment, a space-time vortex flashed in Obito Uchiha's eye socket, carrying him and Itachi Uchiha away from there.

Ulquiorra didn't linger here either, and as for Koyatai Stark and Lilynette, those two were simply there for sightseeing, using their names as a backdrop…

A dotted circle.

When Ulquiorra, Koyatai Stark, and Lilynette returned to Hueco Mundo, they did not head to Aizen Sosuke's Las Noches. Instead, they opened a cave beneath the desert and entered the Great Forest of Menreiki.

They walked step by step into the depths of the Great Void Forest.

A woman wearing a skeleton headpiece stood at the entrance of a cave, draped in a white robe, her lake-green hair flowing freely over the robe.

The woman with lake-green hair crossed her hands slightly, making her look exceptionally serene. She was there to greet Koyatai Stark and the others.

"Um?"

Koyatai Stark, carrying Lilynette on his back, looked down at the serene woman standing at the cave entrance and greeted her casually, "Speaking of which, it's been quite a while since we've seen each other since we joined Las Noches, Nellyel..."

"It has indeed been a long time."

The woman with lake-green hair slightly raised her eyes, which fell upon the three approaching Hollows. She calmly said, "Stark, Lily, Ulquiorra, Lord Orochimaru is waiting for you inside..."

No nesting dolls!
