Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 652 Urahara Kisuke's trump card, another product of the Hogyoku, White Zetsu!

Outside Motegi Town.

Obito Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha captured the Visoreds and Yoruichi Shihōin, all of Kisuke Urahara's friends, and put them into the Kamui dimension, leaving only Kisuke Urahara behind.

After all his friends were captured, Kisuke Urahara sat alone on a rock in the countryside of Motegi Town, looking somewhat dejected.

Kisuke Urahara's feelings are now more complicated than when he was framed by Sosuke Aizen, and his situation is even more difficult than before.

Uehara Naraku stood beside a spatial rift, looking at Urahara Kisuke on the ground, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "It seems the intern we wanted to recruit isn't in a good mood right now..."

"How could anyone be in a good mood after experiencing something like this?"

Tobirama Senju floated beside Uehara, scoffing, "What a despicable act, taking away all the bonds around him..."

This guy…

They've really gone mad again.

Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head, chuckling as he continued, "That's a misconception... If we don't arrest all his friends now, how can he possibly trust another one?"

"Are they friends...?"

Senju Tobirama couldn't help but grind his teeth as he listened.

How could this guy even have the nerve to say that?!

"let's go!"

Uehara Naraku took one last look at Urahara Kisuke, his fingers slightly raised, and whispered, "Let's send him off with one last rain shower before we leave... I hope it will cheer him up."

Before he could finish speaking...

Dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky.

The sparse rain began to fall again.

Surrounded by Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and others, Uehara Naraku turned and entered the spatial rift.

As for Isshin Shiba and the Shinigami of the 10th Division, they had already returned to Soul Society to report to Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, hoping that Yamamoto could negotiate with the Uehara clan to take back Hirako Shinji and other former Shinigami captains to the Gotei 13 for imprisonment.

Motegi Town.

After everyone left.

A white figure slowly emerged from the ground. It approached Kisuke Urahara, using a giant banana leaf as an umbrella to shield him from the rain.

"He doesn't seem to be in a good mood... Urahara."

"ha?"

Kisuke Urahara slowly raised his head, looking at the white figure that appeared in his line of sight under the brim of his hat, and couldn't help but say, "Yoruichi and Hirako have all been captured by the Uehara clan. It would be strange if they were in a good mood at this time, wouldn't it?"

"Feel sorry."

The white figure grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth: "If my power were a little stronger... never mind, I still feel that even if I become stronger, I don't have much confidence in fighting back against those monsters from the Uehara clan, so I'd rather not go and die."

"Your words of comfort are really pathetic..."

Kisuke Urahara shook his head helplessly and sighed softly, saying, "I wonder if the other White Zetsu are as emotionally inept as you..."

White Zetsu.

A byproduct obtained by Kisuke Urahara when he was making the Hogyoku.

Because Kisuke Urahara used Hollow souls and spirit particles as materials to create the Hogyoku, when he first saw a White Zetsu, he even thought it was a newly born Hollow.

It turned out that Kisuke Urahara later discovered that White Zetsu and Menos Grande were somewhat different; White Zetsu's combat ability was not strong, and their only ability was perhaps to hide.

No, there's one more thing.

That is, they can reproduce through the spore technique.

When Kisuke Urahara first obtained a White Zetsu, he discovered that the White Zetsu's Spore Technique could absorb spiritual particles and thus rapidly reproduce other White Zetsu. He was almost shocked at the time!

If White Zetsu could reproduce indefinitely using the Spore Technique, and no one could limit them, these creatures could even take over the entire world!

fortunately…

White Zetsu have extremely low intelligence.

Otherwise, I really don't know how much harm these guys would cause!

Standing before Kisuke Urahara now is the original White Zetsu. After its birth, the original White Zetsu considered Kisuke Urahara, who created the Hogyoku, to be its master and has been serving Kisuke ever since.

Unfortunately…

Even the White Zetsu itself.

Its intelligence doesn't seem to be very high either.

Its combat power is also far inferior to that of the Masked Reaper.

Therefore, Kisuke Urahara rarely uses White Zetsu except when he wants to gather intelligence, but this has provided him with a great deal of help.

It was thanks to the White Zetsu…

Kisuke Urahara has finally uncovered some secret information about the Uehara clan!

For example, the young head of the Uehara Naraku clan had incredibly powerful spiritual pressure during his training; and Madara Uchiha, the leader of the thirteen assassins of the Uehara clan, had some peculiar little quirks…

These secrets are sometimes quite interesting.

It was because of the information from White Zetsu that Urahara knew that Uehara Naraku, the young head of the family, was truly kind by nature, which is why he believed that Uehara Naraku was being deceived by Aizen Sousuke.

And it is precisely because of the White Zetsu that they can provide intelligence…

Urahara Kisuke dared to agree and tried every means to find out the real culprit in Uehara Naraku's assassination and to find evidence that Aizen Sousuke was manipulating everything!

This is an opportunity for Aizen Sousuke to strike at Urahara Kisuke and the Visoreds, who are in the know, but it is also an opportunity for Urahara Kisuke.

Kisuke Urahara had long wanted to find an opportunity to expose Sosuke Aizen's true colors, but he had never had the chance to intervene in Soul Society!

The Uehara clan wanted to use him…

Wasn't he also trying to take advantage of the Uehara clan to return to Soul Society?

After all, it's not an easy task for a sinner who was once expelled from Soul Society to return to Soul Society and overthrow the captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13!

In particular, the entire Central 46 Chambers may already be under Aizen Sousuke's control. The only way to bypass the authority of the Central 46 Chambers is to utilize powerful clans whose power is comparable to that of the Central 46 Chambers!

Urahara Kisuke originally wanted to use Kabuto Yakushi and the Zero Division to eliminate Aizen Sousuke, but unfortunately, his teacher Kabuto Yakushi was completely disappointed in him and severed all ties with him...

This is something that Kisuke Urahara particularly regrets.

"Urahara, is there anything I can do for you now?"

White Zetsu looked at Urahara Kisuke, completely unaware of what he was thinking, and continued with a grin, "If it were me rescuing Yoruichi from the Uehara clan, it would be quite difficult..."

After saying that, White Zetsu scratched his head and said with a grin, "If it were me monitoring Aizen Sousuke, that would be a bit difficult... He also has someone who's my nemesis by his side..."

"I know."

Kisuke Urahara slowly nodded and whispered, "It's that guy called Black Zetsu, right? So that's the byproduct he got from creating the Hogyoku using Shinigami's souls..."

There will always be opposing sides to this world.

Or rather, light and darkness, positive and negative, yin and yang.

No, or rather, they are not absolutely opposed, but rather complementary.

When Aizen Sousuke used the souls of Shinigami to create the Hogyoku, he obtained a monster called Black Zetsu; when Urahara Kisuke used the souls of Hollows to create the Hogyoku, he obtained a creature called White Zetsu.

Both organisms have their own advantages.

The Black Zetsu under Aizen Sousuke's command seem to possess immense power, capable of suppressing White Zetsu. Not only can they devour Hollows, but they can even devour and fuse with White Zetsu to become stronger.

Unfortunately, there is only one Black Zetsu.

However, the White Zetsu under Kisuke Urahara can reproduce infinitely through the Spore Technique, becoming a monster that will never disappear. They can even possess Shinigami and devour their spiritual power.

According to Kisuke Urahara's speculation, the characteristics of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu are related to the properties of the Hogyoku.

For example, Aizen Sousuke's Black Zetsu was created using the souls of Shinigami, thus it was a perfect counter to Hollows; Urahara Kisuke's White Zetsu was created using the souls of Hollows, thus it was a perfect counter to Shinigami, which are the opposite of Hollows.

"Please help me check..."

Kisuke Urahara stroked his palm and whispered, "There's no need to monitor him. Monitor his subordinates and see if any of them have been subjected to his Hollowfication experiments. The person who assassinated Naraku Uehara was definitely sent by him..."

"Okay!"

Bai Jue nodded with a grin, his body slowly sinking into the earth. He chuckled and said, "Hehehe... I'll go make the arrangements now. Once I've gathered enough people, I'll send them to the Soul Society. We just need to wait for news..."

Just as the White Zetsu slowly sank into the ground, it suddenly emerged again. Only one of its heads on the ground spoke up, advising, "Oh, by the way, Urahara, don't get too wet in the rain, it's not good for your health..."

"I see."

Kisuke Urahara couldn't help but rub his forehead, muttering under his breath, "But can't you think a little more carefully? I'm wearing a cybernetic body right now. If this cybernetic body breaks, I can just replace it..."

That's what they say...

However, Kisuke Urahara felt a warmth rise in his heart.

It must be said that although the White Zetsu are a bunch of idiots, they are indeed kind-hearted, even more likable than the gloomy and treacherous Shinigami of Soul Society.

"Really..."

Kisuke Urahara adjusted his hat, sighed softly, and said, "If Hollows could be like White Zetsu, perhaps there would be no more conflict in this world..."

Unfortunately.

Kisuke Urahara hadn't thought about it.

The White Zetsu, whom Kisuke Urahara considered an idiot, did not do the first thing after leaving him to complete the task he had assigned, but instead went to meet someone that Kisuke Urahara could never have imagined.

White Zetsu went to see Black Zetsu.

Those two are actually in cahoots.

After leaving Urahara Kisuke, the White Zetsu, disregarding its previous display of deep affection, rushed off to meet the Black Zetsu. These two creatures, whom Urahara Kisuke and Aizen Sosuke respectively considered their allies, often secretly exchanged information...

After all, they were old colleagues who had worked together for many years!

This is even the third world they've worked in together!

late at night.

At this moment.

Black Zetsu was looking dejected in a supermarket.

Because it was about to begin a task given to it by Uehara Naraku: to find a way to bankrupt the supermarket that had once been disrespectful to Uehara Naraku.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

The White Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground.

Because within its line of sight, Black Zetsu was vigorously shaking a can of cola, then placing it back some distance away—a scene that looked extremely eerie…

"It's nothing... Any information from Kisuke Urahara's side?"

Black Zetsu shook his head, glanced at White Zetsu who had appeared beside him, and suppressed the urge to complain about Uehara Naraku.

Because it knows…

White Zetsu likes to court death.

If White Zetsu were to suddenly spread Uehara Naraku's petty schemes, that wouldn't be a good thing!

"This seems really strange..."

White Zetsu glanced at the supermarket shelves with surprise, then chuckled and got down to business: "Hehehehe... Uehara, along with Tobirama Senju and his gang, kidnapped Kisuke Urahara's friend and forced Kisuke Urahara to find the assassin who killed Sosuke Aizen. He really looks like a bad guy!"

However, Kisuke Urahara has already agreed.

Kisuke Urahara has now confirmed that it was Sosuke Aizen who was behind this, and he wants me to monitor Sosuke Aizen's subordinates and find out who among them has conducted the Hollowfication experiments.

"Is there any information you can give him?"

This is the White Zetsu's method.

Once White Zetsu encounters Kisuke Urahara and is tasked with investigating Sosuke Aizen, it goes directly to Black Zetsu to obtain information about Sosuke Aizen from Black Zetsu.

It can directly obtain information from Black Zetsu, Aizen Sousuke's capable subordinate. Is there an easier way?

"Hehehe...just right."

Black Zetsu chuckled sinisterly and said in a low voice, "You can go back and tell Urahara Kisuke that Aizen Sousuke has already left Soul Society, and there's no trace of him in the human world. There's even a Hollow presence around him..."

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"That's enough."

Black Zetsu's lips curled into a sinister smile: "If we tell Urahara Kisuke all this, he'll start to suspect Hueco Mundo... And coincidentally, we have more people in Hueco Mundo than ever before. If Urahara Kisuke is willing, he can find a lot of evidence against Aizen!"

indeed.

If Kisuke Urahara were willing to enter Hueco Mundo, Orochimaru and his group could find a way to deliver a bunch of evidence of Aizen Sousuke's creation of Arrancars to Urahara at any time!

Even though Aizen Sousuke hasn't created any Arrancar Hollows yet...

They could also find a way to shift the blame onto Aizen Sousuke!

"Hehehehe...I understand."

White Zetsu slowly sank back into the ground, and before leaving, it suddenly added, "Speaking of which, has Aizen Sousuke been taking a dump lately?"

"…Won't."

Black Zetsu's voice seemed to be suppressing anger.

Aizen Sousuke is not human; he is a Shinigami (death god). All the food and water consumed by Shinigami are energy sources that sustain their spiritual activities!

Moreover, what kind of devilish questions does White Zetsu ask? After all these years, how come White Zetsu still hasn't gotten rid of this bad habit!

I feel that the appearance of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu is reasonable.
