Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 634 A magnificent and elegant battle: Aizen Sousuke vs. Orochimaru!

A dotted circle.

The Great Void Forest.

Gin Ichimaru, who had just escaped danger, had a strange expression on his face.

Who would have thought that Aizen Sousuke's most loyal subordinate, Tosen Kaname, was actually Tobirama Senju's spy? This is truly unexpected...

after all…

Tosen Kaname seems like an honest person!

The Uehara clan's power in Soul Society is truly overwhelming; even the Ninth Division Captain, Tosen Kaname, is a pawn of the Uehara clan!

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

Gin Ichimaru glanced at the Hollowfied Arrancar chasing after him, drew his Zanpakuto, and chuckled softly, "Although Kabuto doesn't like the Senju brothers' faction either, we are all loyal to Lord Naraku after all..."

After thinking for a while...

Gin Ichimaru finally made up his mind. If he took action, it would likely arouse Aizen Sousuke's suspicion, and even make him suspect that he and Tosen Kaname were two people.

If there's a possibility of exposing myself...

Gin Ichimaru was willing to sacrifice Kaname Tosen.

However, besides Gin Ichimaru, there were other people on the battlefield, so Gin Ichimaru immediately contacted Koyatai Stark and Ulquiorra, asking them to find a way to rescue Kaname Tosen on the battlefield.

This is such a simple matter.

Ulquiorra was a little confused when he received the news. Where exactly had their superiors reached? How could Tosen also be one of their spies?

The entire virtual circle...

Isn't Aizen Sousuke all that's left?

Originally, there was another Vasto Lorde-class Hollow in Hueco Mundo named Emperor Barragan, but a long time ago, Emperor Barragan attempted to stop Madara Uchiha from wreaking havoc in Hueco Mundo…

In the end, Barragan the Great was chopped into bone fragments by Madara Uchiha.

Currently, within the entire Hueco Mundo region, aside from Aizen Sousuke, all the remaining Arrancar, as well as Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen who came to assist, are all subordinates of Uehara Naraku…

This situation...

It was something even Ulquiorra couldn't quite believe.

Fortunately, Aizen Sousuke never trusted his subordinates and always relied on his own power, treating these Arrancar and Hollows as mere decorations for his own forces...

Otherwise, if Aizen Sousuke were replaced by a superior who trusted his subordinates, he would probably go crazy after learning the truth.

Just as Ulquiorra risked his life to stop Grimmjow and save Kaname Tōsen, Aizen Sōsuke, who was locked in a stalemate with Orochimaru from a high place, remained calm...

For him...

It doesn't matter if Tosen dies.

It doesn't matter if Tosen lives or dies.

This is the ruthlessness of Aizen Sousuke.

Although the battle between Ulquiorra, Nellylus, Grimmjow, and other Hollows was extremely fierce, with Cero and Royal Flash flashing everywhere, the entire venue had long since been reduced to ruins due to their battle…

however…

In Aizen Sousuke's eyes, he was still somewhat lacking.

In comparison, Aizen Sousuke was more concerned about Orochimaru in front of him!

Aizen Sousuke reached out and stroked the Kyoka Suigetsu in his hand, slowly saying, "Ever since I gradually realized that someone was watching me, I've been waiting for this day, because I also wanted to know if I could satisfy Orochimaru-sensei now..."

Two glints flashed on Aizen Sousuke's glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips: "After all... in the entire world, there seems to be no one more suitable than Orochimaru-san as someone for me to test my strength, is there?"

"Hehehehe..."

Orochimaru couldn't help but chuckle, but his expression instantly turned sinister as he bit his lip and said mockingly, "What a sharp-tongued brat... Now your subordinates are at a disadvantage!"

"Just some useless things used to decorate Las Noches."

Despite the casualties suffered by his subordinates, Aizen Sousuke continued nonchalantly, "Once I defeat Orochimaru, there will naturally be more decorations to adorn Las Noches..."

Yes.

The group of Arrancar and Hollows below, whom Aizen Sousuke considered like chickens and dogs, were simply not enough to stop Aizen Sousuke from unifying Hueco Mundo!

"That's quite a boast..."

Orochimaru's fingers trembled slightly as the Ame-no-Murakumo Zanpakuto instantly appeared in his hand. A sinister smile flashed across his face: "Hmph, then let me test you, brat... I hope you won't disappoint me!"

after all…

You are the one on whom Uehara Naraku has placed high hopes!

If they can't even get past him here, it would be a huge disappointment to Orochimaru. They haven't been working for some weakling all these years...

"Mr. Orochimaru is overthinking it..."

Aizen Sousuke slowly adjusted his glasses, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly gathering at his fingertips: "Perhaps Orochimaru-san should consider whether I'll be disappointed in you... If you disappoint me too much, our future interactions might be quite unpleasant!"

next moment…

Aizen Sousuke's eyes were full of nonchalance as he slowly uttered the power he was using: "Hado #63, Thunder Roar Cannon..."

The moment this spiritual pressure left Aizen Sousuke's fingertips, it transformed into a roaring bolt of lightning, carrying an aura of utter destruction as it hurtled toward Orochimaru!

Hado #63, Thunder Roar Cannon!

Without any chanting or preparation, this powerful Breaking Dao technique was released the instant the spiritual pressure was gathered!

Even the former Grand Master of the Kido Sect within the Seireitei could not have done it as casually as Aizen Sousuke!

That bolt of lightning was incredibly fast!

No one present could have withstood that blow unscathed!

However, this technique was merely Aizen Sousuke's initial probing of Orochimaru, using the high speed and explosive force of the Thunder Roar Cannon to test Orochimaru's speed...

"Binding Path Number Eighty-One: Severing Emptiness!"

Orochimaru suddenly stretched out his hand, erecting a transparent spiritual pressure shield wall in front of him. The countless Hollow spiritual power on his body was enough for him to use this move without chanting. In fact, this was also close to Orochimaru's limit!

This move cuts through the air…

It is powerful enough to resist any Breakthrough ability ranked below 89!

Naturally, the Thunder Roar Cannon of Hado 63 was easily blocked by the Space-Shattering Barrier, without even causing a ripple...

however…

The next moment, the barrier in the void shattered instantly!

To Orochimaru's somewhat surprised gaze, he saw Aizen Sousuke's gleaming Zanpakuto seem to have landed on glass...

It easily shattered the barrier in mid-air!

Enough to easily withstand the devastating impact of the Thunder Roar Cannon...

But he was no match for Aizen Sousuke's blade!

With just one strike, he shattered Duan Kong's defenses!

This strike was so magnificent and beautiful that even Orochimaru was momentarily stunned. Was this Aizen Sousuke using Kyoka Suigetsu?

Do not…

It's not a mirage!

It was just Aizen Sousuke's swordsmanship, which was so skillful that it reached its peak!

Whether it's Zanpakuto, Shunpo, Hakuda, or Kido abilities, Aizen Sousuke is proficient in almost everything, and the swordsmanship he can learn at will allows him to stand at the pinnacle of this world!

Even when fighting someone like Orochimaru…

Aizen Sousuke's fighting stance remains as elegant as ever!

In this respect, it also demonstrates this guy's confidence!

Clang!

Tenchokuen hastily blocked Orochimaru's path!

Orochimaru, who had been hidden in Hueco Mundo for thousands of years, couldn't help but show some amazement. Across their clashing blades, he grinned at Aizen Sousuke and said admiringly, "Truly a swordsmanship genius... I've never seen you seriously practice swordsmanship before..."

If I remember correctly...

In the base's archives study, Aizen Sousuke actually spent a very short time practicing swordsmanship. It seems that he gave up swordsmanship training after obtaining the Shikai of Kyoka Suigetsu.

This is perfectly normal.

Because what Shinigami need most is to release the spiritual pressure of their Zanpakuto.

Now it seems...

That doesn't mean they gave up swordsmanship training at all!

Rather, Aizen Sousuke had already mastered swordsmanship to a high enough level by that time, so he didn't need to waste too much time on it!

The sheer brilliance of Aizen Sousuke's swordsmanship, slashing through the gaping barrier in an instant and nearly killing Orochimaru, is enough to demonstrate his exceptional skill…

"Swordsmanship?"

Aizen Sousuke chuckled softly, leisurely wielding his Kyoka Suigetsu sword as he unleashed a series of slashes at Orochimaru: "The moment I came into contact with swordsmanship, I already knew how far I could go solely through it..."

Aizen Sousuke continued to unleash streaks of light at Orochimaru, a slight smile playing on his lips. "In my opinion, I've already devoted enough time to swordsmanship..."

Aizen Sousuke's sword flashed!

At this moment, Aizen seemed like a sword master who had honed his skills for many years. No, he had originally relied on his talent to pass through the training stage without needing time!

"This guy's talent..."

Orochimaru's expression turned somewhat grim.

Now Orochimaru can only hold the Ame no Murakumo in his hand, constantly blocking Aizen Sousuke's blade, and occasionally he can thrust out a sword like a cold, venomous snake!

Orochimaru had been pondering whether Uehara Naraku had overpraised Aizen Sousuke, but now he realized how ridiculous that question was…

This is no exaggeration!

Instead, it should be greatly underestimated!

Now, when Orochimaru and Aizen Sousuke truly clashed, he finally realized why Uehara Naraku had placed such high hopes on Aizen Sousuke—this guy's talent was terrifying…

It was clearly just a sword fight...

However, the Kyoka Suigetsu Zanpakuto was used by Aizen Sousuke with ease, sometimes slashing out a crescent moon, sometimes piercing out a shooting star!

This guy has an incredible talent for swordsmanship!

Orochimaru could even see the influence of the Orochi-ryu swordsmanship!

If relying solely on swordsmanship, Aizen Sousuke is more than capable of dealing with any swordsmanship. In an instant, Aizen had already seen through the weakness of the Orochi-ryu swordsmanship with his own insight!

Orochimaru used the Orochi-ryu swordsmanship he had created for the first time in this world, in front of Aizen Sousuke, but after a short time of fighting, Aizen Sousuke saw through it and used it on Orochimaru!

The insidious Orochi-ryu swordsmanship is just like a snake…

It can leap out at any moment and bite the enemy!

As Aizen Sousuke himself said, he had already mastered swordsmanship to its peak, no, he should say he had mastered every ability to its peak!

Instant Step!

Aizen Sousuke vanished in an instant!

In the instant he vanished, Aizen Sousuke had already appeared beside Orochimaru, and the two's Zanpakuto clashed repeatedly, the sound of metal clashing mixed with lightning!

The attack failed!

Shunpo (Flash Step) is indeed somewhat inadequate against Orochimaru!

Even though Aizen Sousuke's Shunpo speed was extremely fast, it was not enough to hide it from Orochimaru, who had been baptized by space-time techniques!

"This is really troublesome..."

Aizen Sousuke held up the Kyoka Suigetsu sword horizontally!

A bright blade of light slashed out, the Mirror Flower Water Moon blade of light covered with an invisible spiritual pressure, and the crescent moon slash instantly forced Orochimaru back!

Even Orochimaru didn't think he could withstand that blow...

This crescent moon slash alone has a destructive power of over 80%!

The spiritual pressure of this crescent-shaped slash was so strong that it almost instantly split the entire venue in two diagonally, causing the Hollows to panic and scramble to avoid it!

however…

This tactic was merely bait.

The next moment, Aizen Sousuke appeared behind Orochimaru with a Shunpo, wielding the Kyoka Suigetsu in a graceful arc!

Kyoka Suigetsu Zanpakuto...

Aizen stabbed Orochimaru into his body while the scalp was turned upside down!

Even Orochimaru couldn't help but be amazed. This was a move from the Orochimaru style of swordsmanship, one that he himself had never used. He never expected that Aizen Sosuke would deduce it in battle at this moment!

Aizen Sousuke didn't look at Orochimaru behind him, but chuckled softly and praised in a low voice, "It's truly admirable... Even I have never seen such exquisite swordsmanship before..."

indeed.

The Soul Society's research on swordsmanship is somewhat less advanced.

After graduating from the Shinigami Academy, the Shinigami prefer to focus on communicating with their Zanpakuto to develop Shikai and Bankai, as this allows them to become stronger...

And after being able to perform Shikai and Bankai...

Practicing swordsmanship seems to be of little use.

After all, enemies that can be defeated with Bankai techniques don't need any special swordsmanship training; and if Bankai can't defeat an enemy, it seems they really don't have any other way to defeat them...

Tick-tock...

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock…

Blood dripped slowly down the Kyoka Suigetsu Zanpakuto.

Aizen Sousuke tilted his head slightly, glanced at the injured Orochimaru standing behind him, and murmured, "If it ends like this, Orochimaru-san, wouldn't that be a bit disappointing for both of us?"

"Hehehe...it's not even a warm-up..."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a strange smile, and his injuries instantly healed—this was super-fast regeneration…

Do not…

This healing speed is even more terrifying than the speed of super-fast regeneration!

As Orochimaru's injuries healed, the Ame no Murakumo Zanpakuto in his hand slowly merged into his body, a scene that appeared particularly eerie...

The Clouds of the Sky...

It originally came from inside the body of the Yamata no Orochi!

If I'm free tomorrow, I'll resume two updates a day...
