Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 633 If Tosen Kaname is also a spy... Has Captain Aizen's side become a spy headquarters?

The tide of battle turned dramatically.

To avoid revealing any weaknesses, under Nelieel's command, the Arrancar army's offensive suddenly became exceptionally fierce, even making it difficult for Gin Ichimaru and Ulquiorra to withstand.

The entire battlefield was gradually divided up.

No one could support each other when surrounded by a group of Hollows.

Nellyel, as expected of the member who has followed Orochimaru the longest, made full use of the advantage of her large number of Arrancars!

even…

Ulquiorra was forced into his Resurrección form!

Koyatai Stark also quickly disappeared into the Great Hollow Forest!

"This is really troublesome..."

Gin Ichimaru still had a smile on his face.

Gin Ichimaru also suffered several wounds from the onslaught of these Hollowfied Arrancar, but he did not panic. He used his divine spear to break through the encirclement and hide in the Hollow Forest.

Only Tosen was in trouble.

This group of Arrancar knew his weaknesses very well, and even his Zanpakuto abilities were analyzed thoroughly, making Tosen's situation extremely dangerous under the siege of the Arrancar!

Especially those responsible for besieging him…

It was none other than Grimmjow, Orochimaru's most ferocious subordinate!

As Orochimaru's capable subordinate, Grimmjow was naturally not to be outdone. After receiving orders from Nereil, he led a group of Arrancar and began to besiege Tosen Kaname, seemingly determined to leave this Shinigami captain in the Forest of Menos!

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Grimmjow's face was contorted with a ferocious expression as he brandished his claws, leaving a long wound on Tosen Kaname's chest!

The splattered blood almost stained people's vision red!

A crazed grin flashed across Grimmjow's face as he spoke with a mocking tone, "This is truly laughable... Is this the captain of the Gotei 13?"

"asshole…"

Kaname Tosen frowned slightly, raised his Zanpakuto sharply, and forced back a group of swarming Hollows. A serious expression flashed across his face!

The Zanpakuto in Tosen Kaname's hand does not belong to him.

Originally, it was a Zanpakuto owned by Tosen Kaname's friend. Tosen Kaname had to find a way to communicate with the Zanpakuto's spiritual power in order to gain the right to use it. In his hands, it could also unleash some rather strange new abilities!

"Sing, you little insects!

Tosen Kaname chanted the Shikai incantation for his Zanpakuto in a low voice. The Zanpakuto trembled violently in his hand, and a series of faint cracking sounds came out!

This Zanpakuto, named Kiyomushi, can produce sound waves that sound like the chirping of insects!

Once this sound wave reaches the ears of an enemy with low spiritual pressure, it can directly hypnotize the enemy, which is equivalent to a strange sound wave ability!

However, this ability is clearly not quite enough!

After all, Grimmjow's current superior, Orochimaru, is very good at researching sound wave abilities. Orochimaru himself has even developed many sound ninjutsu. Therefore, these Hollows already have a way to counter Tosen Kaname's abilities!

"Is that all?"

Grimmjow picked at his ear, grinned, and a red Cero appeared in his palm, shooting towards Kaname Tosen: "Hmph, all of you get out of the way, I'll finish this guy off right here!"

"Grimmjow..."

The group of Hollows with broken faces looked at each other in bewilderment.

In terms of rank, they should be on par with Grimmjow.

However, Grimmjow was deeply favored by Orochimaru and had always been one of Orochimaru's trusted confidants, which allowed him to stand out from the crowd of Adjuchas-level Hollows...

Grimmjow's relatively handsome appearance, and the fact that he possessed a stronger drive than other Adjuchas-level Menos Grande, earned him Orochimaru's favor.

"You bunch of guys, do you still want to go against my orders?"

Grimmjow's lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked at the group of Arrancar: "A bunch of lowlifes who were lucky enough to have Orochimaru-sama's cursed seal implanted in them... They think they can rebel against me, who possesses the Heavenly Curse Seal...?"

"..."

A group of Broken Faces were cursing inwardly.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, they would have loved to team up and teach Grimmjow a lesson. His strength was undeniable, but his mouth was just too foul…

"alright."

Grimmjow slowly stretched out his arms, and bone spurs began to grow from his body, spreading all over him!

next moment…

Grimmjow then transformed into his Resurrección form!

In this form, Grimmjow resembles a leopard-man, and just by looking at his figure, one can sense the power hidden within him!

It must be said that…

Grimmjow in his Resurrección form has an intimidating spiritual pressure alone!

However, this evolutionary process is not over yet!

Grimmjow slowly extended his claws, stroking his pale blue hair. A tomoe-shaped curse mark appeared on his neck, and this mark began to spread across his body like flames...

"The power of Lord Orochimaru..."

Grimmjow rubbed his long hair, feeling the spiritual energy within the cursed seal slowly flowing into his body. His face gradually turned crazed: "Truly... a power that's so captivating it's impossible not to become intoxicated by!"

Heavenly Curse Seal!

It was Orochimaru who bestowed this power upon him!

The Heavenly Seal, modified from another world, can rapidly absorb spiritual particles from this world, increasing Grimmjow's power and speed!

Even his spiritual pressure has increased dramatically!

When the flame-like cursed mark finally stopped spreading and left black marks on Grimmjow's body, his spiritual pressure surged to its peak!

In this state, Grimmjow is fully capable of fighting against top-tier Vasto Lorde-class Hollows. Even Ulquiorra was somewhat amazed when he saw this!

Orochimaru's achievement actually enabled Grimmjow to cross the most dangerous threshold of Menreiki evolution and obtain the power of a top-tier Vasto Lorde...

Really...

It's incredibly surprising!

Even Aizen Sousuke, who was confronting Orochimaru, couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw Grimmjow's condition: "Hmm? It seems I underestimated that kid? His spiritual pressure is already strong enough to rival Ulquiorra's..."

If that's the case...

Then his subordinate, Tosen, is in a bit of danger!

Aizen Sousuke didn't believe that Tosen could defeat Grimmjow in his current state, yet he made no attempt to rescue him...

For him...

Tosen Kaname was a ticking time bomb from the start.

Because Tosen Kaname was blind, he couldn't see Aizen Sousuke's Kyoka Suigetsu Shikai, nor could he be controlled by it, which is why Aizen Sousuke recruited him into his ranks beforehand...

However, Aizen Sousuke would never completely trust anyone.

If Tosen were to die here, it would only mean that Aizen Sosuke had conveniently eliminated a somewhat useless subordinate...

Such a cowardly and incompetent subordinate...

It doesn't matter if I die here!

This will be a good opportunity for Aizen Sousuke to test just how strong Grimmjow, the new subordinate he wants to recruit, really is...

Grimmjow transforms into his Cursed Seal form and his Resurrección form...

It certainly looks like it's worth many times more than Tosen Kaname!

Indeed, this was the case. In this state, Grimmjow almost completely suppressed Tousen Kaname. His claws circled around Tousen Kaname rapidly, leaving wounds on Tousen Kaname's body!

Even Tosen Kaname's Zanpakuto...

Grimmjow's claws cleaved it open, leaving cracks in its surface!

"Aren't you going to unleash your Bankai yet?"

Grimmjow looked at the disheveled Kaname Tosen with a mocking expression, licked the blood from his claws, and sneered, "Or... are you not yet capable of fully unleashing your Zanpakuto?"

"..."

Tosen remained silent.

He is indeed in a rather disheveled state right now.

However, these injuries were not fatal.

If it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, he still has his trump card, a technique taught to him by someone whom Tosen greatly respects…

However, intelligence must never be revealed unless absolutely necessary.

Or rather, the moment he was exposed, he was no longer of any use to that person, forcing Tosen to make a difficult choice…

That person once mentioned...

He must make sure to hide his identity.

It is imperative to thoroughly investigate the value of Aizen Sousuke.

"It seems there's nothing else worth noting..."

Tosen Kaname tightened his grip on his Zanpakuto, pondering to himself, "Aside from creating the Hogyoku to break through the limitations of Shinigami and Hollow abilities... Aizen Sousuke probably has no other value... This answer should be sufficient for Lord Tobirama."

If it really comes to a last resort...

Then let's use the move that Lord Tobirama taught him to destroy this place and escape!

After all, besides being an undercover agent under Aizen Sousuke, he also held the position of captain of the 9th Division of the Gotei 13, making him a very important subordinate to Lord Tobirama…

What a pity...

Tosen originally believed he could gather more information.

Even when facing other members of the Uehara clan, Tosen Kaname never revealed his identity, precisely to avoid exposing himself.

certainly…

That's why.

Kaname Tosen was unaware of the true identities of Orochimaru, Gin Ichimaru, and others.

The next moment, Tosen Kaname's fingers quietly concealed themselves in his sleeve and began to remotely contact the person controlling him, because he had undergone the Impure World Reincarnation.

A Shinigami who once underwent the Edo Tensei (resurrection) ritual...

They were able to contact the person who performed the Impure World Reincarnation technique on him.

As the inventor of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tobirama Senju naturally wouldn't forget to use this technique to control his subordinates, and also relied on this method to communicate with his spies.

soon.

Tosen Kaname then remotely reported the situation to Tobirama Senju.

Even Tobirama Senju never imagined that his subordinates would encounter such a situation, being besieged by Orochimaru's men!

Really...

What's this called?

Is this an internal power struggle within the Akatsuki organization?

The present world.

Not long after Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju arrived in the human world, they began secretly tracking Kisuke Urahara and the Visoreds, following Naraku Uehara's orders!

And then...

Tobirama Senju received a message from Kaname Tōsen.

Immediately, Tobirama Senju thought this pawn was quite useful, after all, in Tobirama Senju's view, Kaname Tosen's most important identity was the captain of the Ninth Division!

This identity was enough for Tobirama Senju to obtain a great deal of information from the Gotei 13!

after all…

He didn't get along well with Tobirama Senju's faction, which included Gin Ichimaru under Kabuto Yakushi, and he trusted information obtained through his own channels more than anything else.

But Tobirama Senju is far removed from the present world…

It seems that the only way to resolve Tosen Kaname's crisis is to rely on Uehara Naraku.

"Are you kidding me?"

Upon receiving the information from Tobirama Senju, Naraku Uehara wore a look that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?" His expression was subtly strange: "Wait... when did you recruit Kaname Tōsen into your ranks? Don't you know that our Akatsuki's style is to eliminate anyone around the enemy who doesn't belong to us?"

As long as everyone around the enemy is eliminated...

That means that any information the enemy wants to know will be controlled by Uehara Naraku, and Aizen Sousuke's progress in creating the Hogyoku and any conspiracy will not escape Uehara Naraku's sight.

"This happened a long time ago."

Standing beside Naraku Uehara, Tobirama Senju explained with a displeased expression, "Back then, a small incident happened in the Seireitei. You were always in Uehara Castle training, so you naturally didn't pay attention to it. But at that time, I sensed the darkness within that kid Kaname Tosen. To us, he was someone of value..."

Back then, Kaname Tosen was just an ordinary blind man from Rukongai.

However, there was one woman who did not look down on Tosen Kaname because he was blind, but instead gave him warmth and was willing to become his friend.

Unfortunately…

After marrying into a noble family, this woman was killed by her husband because of a conflict... Because her husband was a nobleman, the Central 46 Bureau chose to downplay the incident.

This matter originally went unnoticed.

However, Kaname Tosen chose to seek justice for his friend, and naturally, the Seireitei did not accept the request of an ordinary wandering soul to seek justice.

However, this matter was noticed by Tobirama Senju.

Or rather, Tobirama Senju had been searching for someone in Soul Society to become his spy within the Gotei 13, and Tousen Kaname was a reasonably suitable candidate.

Kill a noble scumbag...

For Tobirama Senju, who held power over Uehara Castle, it was not a difficult task at all. He easily brought Kaname Tōsen under his command and gained Kaname Tōsen's loyalty.

To ensure the loyalty of his spy, Tobirama Senju would naturally not forget to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique on Kaname Tōsen, but he had never actually used this pawn...

However, Tosen Kaname's career took off...

Not only did he gain the favor of Aizen Sousuke, but he also became the captain of the 9th Division of the Gotei 13, which gave him quite a few surprises.

"Is that so?"

Uehara Naraku stroked his chin and slowly said, "Speaking of which, none of the other pawns seem quite suitable to expose Captain Aizen... So, how about we keep him to expose Captain Aizen's true colors in front of Captain-Commander Yamamoto in the future?"

This kind of thing...

Uehara Naraku is quite good at it too!

Back when he was in the ninja world, he exposed Obito Uchiha's true identity not long after the story began, causing Obito's path as the mastermind behind everything to take a dramatic turn...

"Speaking of which..."

Uehara Naraku looked up at the sky, as if trying to see the war unfolding in Hueco Mundo through it. He continued slowly, "If Tosen Kaname, who has always followed Captain Aizen and been controlled by him, were to expose Captain Aizen's true colors in front of the Gotei 13, wouldn't the Captain be too shocked?"
