Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 632 The only companions that Lord Aizen can rely on are us!

Even Orochimaru hadn't expected this...

Aizen Sousuke actually made his move so brazenly!

The instant Aizen Sousuke unleashed his Zanpakuto, Orochimaru vanished from his spot. His arms suddenly transformed into long, serpentine snakes, their fangs bared, lunging at Aizen Sousuke's head!

"Is that all the tricks you've got?"

A flash of light appeared in Aizen Sousuke's Zanpakuto, instantly severing all the snake heads. A smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Orochimaru-san, if you're still too careless when dealing with me, I'll start to look down on you..."

Aizen Sousuke did not use the ability of Kyoka Suigetsu.

Because if Aizen Sousuke were to use Kyoka Suigetsu at this moment, in front of Orochimaru, who knows the weaknesses of Kyoka Suigetsu, he simply wouldn't be able to determine whether Orochimaru could break Kyoka Suigetsu, or how quickly he could break it...

It should be possible.

Perhaps.

Regardless, Orochimaru must possess a way to break the Kyoka Suigetsu technique, which is why Aizen Sousuke had to abandon Kyoka Suigetsu's ability to manipulate the five senses...

However, this doesn't stop it!

Because Aizen Sousuke, besides Kyoka Suigetsu, also possesses spiritual pressure and power far exceeding those of a captain-level Shinigami!

he…

He was originally a genius.

A genius standing at the top!

Aizen Sousuke, holding his Zanpakuto, stood between them, chuckling lightly, and said, "Draw your Zanpakuto, Orochimaru-san. Trying to fight me bare-handed is rather unwise..."

As he said this, Aizen Sousuke brandished his Zanpakuto, performing a beautiful sword flourish, his eyes lowering slightly: "Besides, I'm also very eager to witness Orochimaru-sensei's Zanpakuto abilities..."

In this world…

A Zanpakuto signifies the upper limit of power!

Even though Aizen Sousuke knew some of Orochimaru's amazing abilities, he was more curious about what Orochimaru's Zanpakuto actually looked like, because Aizen Sousuke's information was missing about Orochimaru's Zanpakuto!

Although…

Aizen Sousuke believed he was still destined to win.

However, at this moment, Orochimaru was the first thousand-year monster that Aizen Sousuke wanted to challenge, someone the same age as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni…

Almost equivalent to a major figure in the history of Soul Society!

It really makes one quite curious...

What kind of Zanpakuto would a big shot like Orochimaru wield? Or would such a person display some strange and unusual abilities?

Aizen Sousuke was somewhat excited.

Because he has had few rivals since he was a child.

Now he is challenging someone like Orochimaru, only someone like that is qualified to be his opponent. Even Aizen Sousuke believes that such a person will eventually become a stepping stone for him to reach the sky!

"Hmph...what an arrogant and conceited brat!"

A mocking glint flashed across Orochimaru's face. He slowly raised his finger, a cold smile on his face, and began chanting the Shikai incantation for his Zanpakuto: "Let the winds of chaos that shake the world rise... Ame-no-Murakumo!"

next moment…

A long snake emerged from Orochimaru's sleeve!

A long, narrow Zanpakuto suddenly shot out from the serpent's mouth!

Judging from its appearance alone, this Zanpakuto is incredibly handsome. Yes, such a description can actually be used to describe a weapon…

But the immense spiritual pressure emanating from it…

This suggests that this Zanpakuto is not to be trifled with.

Zanpakuto are weapons that arise from the communication between the spirit particles and the master's heart. Each Zanpakuto possesses unimaginable and bizarre abilities, making it hard to believe that Orochimaru's Zanpakuto would look like this...

After the exceptionally beautiful Zanpakuto fell into Orochimaru's hands, he casually swung it out as a massive wind blade, sending it hurtling towards Aizen Sousuke!

"Mr. Orochimaru..."

Aizen Sousuke smiled as he looked at Orochimaru, flicked his fingers, and released a burst of spiritual pressure from his fingertips to deflect the wind blade!

Aizen Sousuke casually deflected the attack, chuckling as he continued, "If you're used to standing on high ground, it's hard to change your mindset, no matter what you're facing—ants or mice..."

At this point, Aizen Sousuke glanced at the Zanpakuto in Orochimaru's hand and couldn't help but remark, "What an elegant Zanpakuto..."

"Thank you for the compliment..."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a slightly sinister smile: "But I hope you won't be afraid of it because of its power..."

"There's no need to worry about that."

Aizen Sousuke said with a hint of curiosity, "Just hearing the names of the Zanpakuto... Orochimaru's Zanpakuto is somewhat similar to Uehara Naraku's, which makes me quite curious..."

What does "somewhat similar" mean?

In fact, the names are almost identical!

Although Uehara Naraku's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi is a golden light sword, Orochimaru's Zanpakuto is a weapon that looks extremely unusual...

"..."

Orochimaru's lips twitched involuntarily.

Aizen Sousuke's question reminded him of something else.

"Kid, you should know something else..."

Orochimaru forced a smile and slowly began, "The secret of the Uehara clan's lineage: every head of their clan can overcome the gap in spiritual power growth in an extremely short time and become a Shinigami surpassing the captain level..."

This secret was not a secret among the captains.

Or perhaps most of the high-ranking members of Soul Society know this secret.

The previous head of the Uehara clan would transfer his spiritual power to his descendants through a secret technique after the next generation came of age, thus enabling the next generation to become powerful death gods in the shortest possible time!

This is using the sacrifices of the previous generation to pave the way for the next!

It must be said that this sacrifice was exceptionally tragic!

However, this also meant that almost every head of the Uehara clan possessed considerable power, enough to protect the Uehara clan and stand on equal footing with the higher-ups of the Soul Society!

certainly…

When this secret was discovered…

It has been clearly marked that this is a secret technique invented by Orochimaru!

"Hmph... Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Orochimaru's lips curled into a sinister smile as he looked at Aizen Sousuke and continued, "What does the relationship between spiritual power and Zanpakuto mean...? Do I need to elaborate further?"

"Um?"

Aizen Sousuke frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise, "Could it be... that Naraku's Zanpakuto... is the Zanpakuto wielded by the first head of the Uehara clan?"

The Zanpakuto of the first head of the Uehara clan...

Has it been passed down through the Uehara clan all this time?

The Zanpakuto wielded by each generation of the Uehara clan patriarch was actually the same one forged by the first patriarch!

No wonder that Zanpakuto has a similar name to Orochimaru's Zanpakuto...

After all, Orochimaru and Uehara, the first head of the Uehara clan, were close friends, and they might have shared similar names or hobbies...

Just as Aizen Sousuke was pondering what abilities the Zanpakuto of the first head of the Uehara clan possessed, Orochimaru's words once again shocked Aizen Sousuke!

"Aizen brat, you're being far too naive..."

Orochimaru, a sinister smile on his face, slowly continued, "Do you remember the function of that secret technique? It allows spiritual power to be passed down from generation to generation. The spiritual power cultivated and inherited by each generation of the Uehara clan's patriarch will be passed down. Do I need to remind you again?"

"…This is…"

Aizen Sousuke's pupils suddenly contracted!

If that's the case, it means he really hasn't thought things through enough!

Aizen Sousuke thought of his cowardly and naive vice-captain and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "So... Naraku possesses the Zanpakuto of the past Uehara clan heads... and also has the ability to wield these Zanpakuto..."

This is rather astonishing...

No, this is completely contrary to common sense! No, this doesn't seem to be an exception at all, after all, the Shangyuan clan is a powerful family that has been passed down for generations!

Uehara Naraku possesses the spiritual power of the past Uehara family heads, so it seems he can obtain their Zanpakuto as well…

Really...

It makes one want to feel a little jealous.

Even Aizen Sousuke had to admit that Uehara Naraku, born to stand at the pinnacle, was someone whose luck was truly enviable to everyone…

The spiritual power accumulated by a powerful clan over thousands of years, along with at least ten Zanpakuto with bizarre abilities, truly put him at the pinnacle that others could never reach in their entire lives from the moment he was born!

Even if Uehara Naraku doesn't train...

They also have the qualifications to stand at a high place!

"Hehehe... Looks like you figured it out..."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the Zanpakuto in his hand, chuckling as he continued, "Do I need to remind you? The lifespan of each head of the Uehara clan generally doesn't exceed two hundred and fifty years. Including his own Zanpakuto, he possesses thirteen Zanpakuto..."

"..."

Aizen Sousuke remained silent.

Thirteen Zanpakuto, each with unique abilities!

Although Aizen Sousuke didn't know how Orochimaru had obtained this information, he believed that what Orochimaru said was definitely true...

Orochimaru and the Uehara clan are sworn enemies.

Regarding the fact that the Uehara clan is an enemy, Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru must have reached a tacit understanding with each other.

The next moment, Aizen Sousuke seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly chuckled and said, "Although he currently wields thirteen Zanpakuto, Naraku still needs time to master them, right?"

"...Hehehe...You are indeed smarter than I imagined."

Orochimaru nodded slowly, chuckled, and continued, "Uehara Naraku has only just begun to master his first Zanpakuto... He still needs time to adapt to the spiritual power he has gained and awaken the other Zanpakuto..."

"Looks like I still have time to sort this out..."

Aizen Sousuke glanced at the Ame no Murakumo in Orochimaru's hand, and his spiritual pressure gradually surged again, pressing down on Orochimaru like a mountain!

indeed.

There's still plenty of time to resolve Uehara Naraku's matter.

The most important thing right now is his battle with Orochimaru!

As his spiritual pressure surged, Aizen Sousuke's voice turned somewhat cold: "Before that... Orochimaru-san... let's first decide who will rule the world in the future... let's use our spiritual power to prove who will be the one to dominate it!"

"Hehehehe..."

Orochimaru, seeing the almost tangible, powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Aizen Sousuke, couldn't help but sneer. His own somewhat murky spiritual pressure also became agitated: "Kid... wanting to overthrow the dynasty... isn't that a bit too impatient!"

Just as the two of them were fighting on the high platform...

Ichimaru Gin, Tosen Kaname, Ulquiorra, and Koyatai Stark, all under Aizen Sousuke's command, are also fighting against Orochimaru's Arrancar army!

Aside from Nelliel, who knows the truth…

The other Arrancars attacked Gin Ichimaru and the others almost like madmen!

Even though Ulquiorra and Koyatai Stark were a level higher in terms of rank and spiritual pressure, they were still somewhat overwhelmed when suddenly faced with so many Arrancar and Hollowfieds...

Fortunately, under Nereil's command...

Their battle finally became more organized.

Aside from Tosen Kaname being somewhat overwhelmed, Gin Ichimaru, Ulquiorra, and Koyatai Stark finally began to unleash their full power, starting to crush the Arrancar army...

Acting is really not an easy thing!

Really...

If you want a smooth victory...

They actually need to rely on Nelliel's help.

Ulquiorra brandished his Zanpakuto and attacked Nelliel, his face cold and indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever!

only…

Ulquiorra's lips twitched slightly, and his voice, though subtle, reached Nelliel's ears: "Nelliel, don't forget our plan. Quickly find an opportunity to eliminate Tousen Kaname here..."

"I see!"

Neriel blinked, glanced at the battlefield situation, and asked in a low voice, "I will command the Arrancar army to launch a massive attack against you. Can you few withstand it?"

Wave attack.

This is a style of fighting that involves overwhelming the enemy forces.

Simply put, it's a battle fought based on the sheer number of Hollows.

Because Orochimaru's Arrancar army occasionally cooperates with each other, they are able to launch this kind of attack under Nereil's command.

The sheer force of the Cero attacks, orchestrated by hundreds of Arrancar Menos and commanded by thousands of Gillian Menos, was something few could withstand…

This kind of playing style is a bit shameless.

Anyway, it's useless for these Hollowfied Arrancars to care about their reputation...

"rest assured."

Ulquiorra nodded slowly, murmuring, "Following Lord Naraku's orders, we must eliminate Tosen Kaname, so that Lord Aizen will only have us as his comrades to rely on..."

There's a fight going on up there...

The following is a reminiscing session…
