Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 647 The Shadow of the Soul Reaper Hollowfication Incident

The wind was a bit noisy.

The spiritual pressure from the sky was suffocating.

An atmosphere of fear permeated the air.

The towering wooden Thousand-Armed Buddha statue stands like a giant mountain outside Motegi Town, making it hard to ignore its presence, or rather, no one would dare to ignore its presence.

Just now…

In full view of everyone…

This giant Buddha easily defeated the entire masked army!

If the wooden Buddha statue inspires awe because of the power it exudes, then the two men standing atop it command respect and even a sense of fear…

A white-haired man wearing blue plate armor.

The legendary fifth seat of the Thirteen Dead Servants, Tobirama Senju!

It is said that Tobirama Senju is the most powerful assassin in the entire Uehara clan, holding the power of life and death over the entire Uehara Castle, and is the de facto ruler of the entire Uehara Castle!

No matter when...

Tobirama Senju, the fifth seat officer, never showed a smile on his face; he always had a cold and aloof demeanor. No Shinigami in Uehara Castle dared to act recklessly in front of him!

In comparison, the other black-haired man in red plate armor appeared rather gentle; he was none other than Tobirama Senju's elder brother…

Hashirama Senju!

The legendary second seat of the Thirteen Dead Servants!

All the Shinigami in Soul Society are well aware that the top four of the Thirteen Dead Men are worlds apart from the other Seats. The top four Seats are the most powerful force of the Uehara clan!

them…

It is also the cornerstone that has enabled the Uehara clan to stand firm!

No one has ever dared to doubt the power of the top four officials!

Now, Hashirama Senju, the Second Seat Officer who has almost never made a move, is showing the strength of the top four Seat Officers here, easily defeating the entire Visored's Shinigami with just one move!

"It's been a long time since I've used magic..."

Standing atop the wooden Buddha statue, Hashirama Senju scratched his head. "The spiritual particles of this world can also be used as energy similar to Sage Chakra. It's so easy to unleash the True Several Thousand Hands..."

Originally, the True Several Thousand Hands was supposed to be Hashirama Senju's trump card technique, but after training in this world for thousands of years, he can now use it with ease.

These souls, lost in another world, became even stronger than they were in life after being nourished by the spiritual energy of this world.

Besides, I'm doing quite well in this world...

Because Hashirama Senju's younger brother and friends were all around him.

Even his younger generation from Konoha are here, so there's no need to worry about his home ninja world being invaded by enemies.

"The energy of spirit particles is in no way inferior to that of chakra."

Tobirama Senju glanced down at the wooden Buddha statue at his feet, then at the group of masked Shinigami who had drawn their Zanpakuto, and sneered, "Hmph, it's just that the people of this world have a rather outdated understanding of spirit particles..."

In fact…

Compared to his very easily satisfied older brother…

The one who truly thrived was Tobirama Senju.

The new world meant new power, a world that was very beneficial to the survival of these souls and gave Tobirama Senju a long time to conduct research and creation.

As the highest administrator of Uehara Castle, Tobirama Senju, supported by the vast power of Uehara Castle, had access to abundant resources, and could even be said to have complete control over Hueco Mundo and Soul Society.

Even the legendary Spirit King…

Tobirama Senju was also able to obtain a part of the Soul King's body.

In a sense, this fifth seat officer is truly deserving of the title and can even be compared to figures like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

To become a truly top-tier individual in the world, besides exceptional talent and unwavering willpower, one must also possess a broad mind and magnanimous spirit—all these qualities are indispensable.

Tobirama Senju could not be as pure as the first four Seats.

Just as Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were looking down at the Visoreds and Isshin Shiba on the ground, these people were also looking at them.

When they met the Thousand Hands Brothers, everyone's expression was unusually grave.

Without needing much explanation, they already knew the identities of these two people, and immense pressure weighed on their hearts like a mountain!

"Hirako, are you confident?"

Lisa Yagyuumaru of the Visored gripped her Zanpakuto tightly, her face grave as she looked up at the Senju brothers atop the wooden Buddha statue. She continued in a low voice, "These two... seem somewhat different from what we expected..."

"yes…"

Hirako Shinji slowly grinned, his usual nonchalant smile still playing on his lips, but his words carried a noticeable seriousness: "The legendary figure... seems to be even stronger than we imagined!"

indeed…

too strong!

The contrast between them is like a chasm!

As the former captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13, Shinji Hirako had occasionally heard rumors about the former four seats, but this time he truly felt the power of Hashirama Senju!

The mere creation of a wooden Buddha statue rendered the eight captain-level Shinigami utterly powerless, and they even found the spiritual pressure emanating from the Buddha somewhat unbearable!

"Should we fight them?"

Despite his seemingly easygoing demeanor, Yushōda Hachigen appeared somewhat uneasy. He looked up at the wooden Buddha statue and cautiously began, "Although this is my first time encountering it... I have a strange feeling that victory won't be so easy..."

"Feed me... Don't be too discouraged!"

The little girl-like Hiyori Sarugaki got up from the ground, holding her Zanpakuto, and stood in front of everyone with a defiant look on her face: "Hmph, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We've only suffered a minor defeat..."

"But…"

Kensei Rokugurashi, holding his Zanpakuto, frowned slightly and muttered, "Although it was only a minor defeat, the gap in skill seems quite large..."

If we're being serious...

Their Masked Army did indeed suffer a minor defeat.

The entire Visored Legion did not enter Hollowfication mode. They were caught off guard by the attack from the Senju brothers and were completely repelled. Each of them was seriously injured, but they were not completely incapacitated...

but!

Just one strike...

Let them be able to judge the difference!

Even if the Visoreds were to clash face-to-face with the Senju Hashirama brothers, they wouldn't have much of a chance of winning; the difference in spiritual pressure was so vast that it was almost hopeless…

Judging from the spiritual pressure emanating from the Senju brothers Hashirama and Tobirama, one can vaguely sense that they are not much different from the Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who supports the entire Soul Society!

"Hmm..."

Another young girl in the Masked Army, Kunan Shiro, muttered to herself for a moment, then suddenly struck a strange pose and fiercely declared, "But... if we're definitely going to lose, why not just give it a try? Can we just surrender?"

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

After they left Soul Society, they had no further dealings with Seireitei. Could these guys really surrender now?

If they surrender...

That would leave them vulnerable to being slaughtered!

"Tch, well, there's nothing we can do about it then..."

Shinji Hirako rubbed his wounds, casually binding the wound on his chest tightly with his clothes, and grinned, saying, "Ever since back in Seireitei, I've wanted to challenge those Uehara clan guys..."

Hirako Shinji really wanted to challenge the thirteen dead servants of the Uehara clan.

For thousands of years, the Shinigami of Seireitei and Soul Society have regarded the existence of the Thirteen Dead Men as almost equivalent to the captains of the Gotei 13.

If a civil war breaks out...

The captain of the Gotei 13 will definitely have to face off against the 13 Dead Men.

Everyone originally thought that the thirteen Dead Servants were all on par with Captain-level Grim Reapers, until later when Dead Servants occasionally appeared, and they slowly realized the reality... The thirteen Dead Servants of the Uehara clan were probably capable of beating Captain-level Grim Reapers to a pulp.

In fact, Shinji Hirako wanted to challenge the lower-ranking members of the Uehara clan, but unfortunately, the current situation did not allow it. He could only face the formidable opponents, the second seated officer Hashirama Senju and the fifth seated officer Tobirama Senju…

Just as the masked Shinigami were preparing for battle, the wooden Buddha statue gradually disappeared into the air, and the Senju brothers Hashirama and Tobirama appeared in front of them in a flash!

This scene caused Hirako Shinji and the others to narrow their eyes slightly!

If I'm not mistaken, the way Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju appeared was almost identical to Minato Namikaze's teleportation ability. Are they also skilled in spatial abilities?

"How interesting..."

Hashirama Senju looked at Shinji Hirako and the others with great interest, and smiled gently, "It's rare to see such a bold little fellow! I am Hashirama Senju. State your name here, little ones, I'm quite interested in you!"

"ha?"

The masked Grim Reapers looked somewhat surprised.

If it weren't for the certainty that Hashirama Senju was their enemy, it would be hard to imagine that this person could be the second seat of the legendary Thirteen Dead Servants of the Uehara clan...

They had never seen such a tolerant enemy before.

"OK!"

Hirako Shinji's smile deepened, and he slowly nodded and chuckled, "Hirako as in flat feet, plus Ono no Imoko's 'ko,' Shinko as in true foreskin, plus Shinko no Meitaiko's 'ko'—so it's Hirako Shinji. Nice to meet you."

"Hiyori Sarugaki!"

The little girl, Hiyori Sarugaki, flew and landed next to Shinji Hirako!

"Yasu-maru... Lisa!"

Sailor-uniformed girl Lisa Yagimaru stood on the other side of Shinji Hirako!

"It is Hatsugen Akihito..."

The kind-hearted, middle-aged man, Hachigen Yushōda, carefully uttered his name, standing behind them, ready to unleash his Kidō abilities to provide support at any moment.

"Ryugurashi Kensei!"

Kensei Muguruma, his fighting spirit high, stood beside his teammates!

"Aikawa Rabuyo..."

The cheerful and outgoing Aikawa Rao even carried his Zanpakuto backwards and gave the Senju Hashirama brothers a thumbs-up, a very distinctive greeting!

"Kujiujiujiu...Kunan Haku!"

The third girl in the Masked Army, a naive and innocent-looking young girl named Kunan Shiro blinked her eyes, appearing exceptionally pure.

"Fengqiao Lou Shilang".

The last one is Rojuro Hōhashi, a blond young man who looks quite aristocratic, but his face clearly carries a hint of melancholy.

Each time a member of the Masked Legion greeted them, the entire Masked Legion seemed to gain even more momentum, and a fighting spirit gradually rose in everyone's heart!

No matter what kind of enemy lies ahead...

They are the one and only Masked Army in the world!

The entire Visored Corps quickly announced their names, their bodies radiating the spiritual pressure of captain-level Shinigami, working together to resist the suppression emanating from Hashirama Senju!

At least it looks like…

The Masked Army is now ready for battle!

Just as their momentum was building, Tobirama Senju, his face cold and aloof, curled the corner of his lips and sneered, "It seems your Hollowfication experiment was a success. Besides the spiritual pressure of Shinigami, you also possess the spiritual pressure of Hollows..."

This is not surprising.

Everyone present knew about the Masked Reaper's condition.

However, Tobirama Senju's next words suddenly made everyone's expressions change!

"There's something you might not know..."

Tobirama Senju surveyed everyone present and coldly stated, "I mastered the experiment of Hollowfication of Shinigami a long time ago..."

"What?!"

The masked Grim Reapers' expressions changed!

Because they all knew very well that Hollowfication was an experiment absolutely forbidden in the entire Soul Society, how could the Uehara clan dare to conduct such a heinous experiment...

Do not…

That's normal.

The Uehara clan has always remained independent of the Seireitei. Their ability to conduct Hollowfication experiments with Shinigami would remain unknown to outsiders. Even if they did, the Central 46 would not expel the entire Uehara clan; at most, they would only damage the clan's reputation...

wrong!

The masked Grim Reapers present quickly thought of another problem…

That was Aizen Sousuke, who had conducted Hollowfication experiments on them. Could the Uehara clan be behind that man? Perhaps it was with the support of the Uehara clan that Aizen Sousuke dared to conduct such an evil experiment!

If that's really the case...

No wonder the Uehara clan is going to wipe them out this time!

Aizen Sousuke had wanted to silence the Visoreds for a long time, but he had never received the support of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Just as these masked Grim Reapers were lost in their thoughts, Tobirama Senju spoke again with a cold laugh: "Hmph, I heard back then that you all sided with Kisuke Urahara in order to gain power, becoming his test subjects. A bunch of bastards who fell for power..."

"Hey, you bastard!"

The little girl, Hiyori Sarugaki, grinned at Tobirama Senju, "You know absolutely nothing..."

The other masked Grim Reapers also looked furious.

Because they didn't become Hollowfied and corrupted for the sake of power; rather, they were framed and trapped by Aizen Sousuke!

"We're not in it for power."

Hirako Shinji stopped his companion, grinning and saying, "I don't believe the Uehara clan can't find out some truths. Maybe you're the ones covering it up..."

"Decades ago."

Tobirama Senju coldly interrupted Shinji Hirako, continuing in a chilling voice, "When the Hollowfication incident broke out, I offered to help you remove the Hollowfied spirit particles to ease tensions between the Uehara clan and the Gotei 13..."

At this point, Tobirama Senju looked at the masked Shinigami present and calmly continued, "However, my proposal was rejected."

Ah, I have something to do today!
