Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 655 Aizen Sousuke's Two-Pronged Plan, A Figure in the Dark

Aizen Sousuke fully understood Uehara Naraku's helplessness.

As a Shinigami who has not yet reached adulthood, Uehara Naraku has no say in anything and has to obey the orders of his Shinigami attendants, such as Senju Tobirama.

In Aizen Sousuke's view, this was probably all to prevent the head of the Uehara clan from going down the wrong path. However, if these Death Servant Seats continued to govern, it wouldn't be very good for Aizen Sousuke.

Because Aizen and Orochimaru formed an alliance, Aizen also learned many secrets about the Uehara clan from Orochimaru. The Thirteen Dead Men will undoubtedly be one of the most formidable enemies they will face in the future!

and…

This has already caused a lot of trouble.

Aizen Sousuke was also somewhat surprised that the two top-tier Death Knights, Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju, had failed to bring Urahara Kisuke back despite their efforts. This was not good news for him, and it might even be a threat.

No, it will definitely be a threat!

If Kisuke Urahara wants to rescue Yoruichi Shihouin, Shinji Hirako, and the others, and overturn all the outcomes, he will definitely try every means to find and overturn the Hollowfication incident of the past and reveal the truth of what happened back then!

exactly…

With the Uehara clan now involved, although it is very unfriendly to Kisuke Urahara, it also gives Kisuke Urahara an opportunity to overturn his case.

Aizen Sousuke gazed at Uehara Naraku beside him, a smile still playing on his lips, but beneath that warm smile, he was meticulously calculating everything...

plan.

Perhaps it will have to be brought forward.

No, or rather, it seems that he could take advantage of this opportunity to get involved.

When Kisuke Urahara came to Soul Society to reveal the truth about the Hollowfication of the Shinigami, Sosuke Aizen felt that this was also a perfect opportunity for him—a chance to obtain the Hogyoku, and perhaps also a chance to wipe out his enemies in one fell swoop…

"alright."

Thinking of this, Aizen Sousuke smiled at Uehara Naraku and said softly, "Go back and rest early, Naraku. My injuries will take some time to heal..."

As he said this, Aizen Sousuke's gaze softened further. He slowly adjusted his glasses and continued in a low voice, "Also... after you return, I'll need you to continue taking on more of the responsibilities of a captain."

"team leader…"

A hint of worry flashed across Uehara Naraku's face.

At this moment, Uehara Naraku seemed to lose his backbone without Aizen Sousuke. Unfortunately, he could only leave the ambulance with a heavy heart under Aizen Sousuke's orders.

After Uehara Naraku left.

Aizen Sousuke immediately began to think rapidly. Under the current circumstances, it seemed he couldn't interfere in the Uehara clan's affairs, so he could only prepare for both possibilities...

The first plan, of course, is to immediately contact Orochimaru secretly and have him send his Arrancar army to attack Urahara Kisuke. It would be best if they could capture Urahara Kisuke... If they can't, then they will carry out the second plan!

The second plan was to find out exactly where Urahara Kisuke's plan was hidden, and whether it was hidden on his person...

If we can confirm this, then we can secretly lure Kisuke Urahara into finding out about the Hollows. When Kisuke Urahara comes to Soul Society to overturn the case, we can then take the Hogyoku from Kisuke Urahara's body!

That moment…

That will also be the moment he steps onto the throne of heaven!

That moment…

That will be the moment when the entire history of Soul Society is rewritten!

That moment…

That will also be the moment when the whole world comes under their dominance!

Aizen Sousuke slowly closed his eyes, raised his finger, and immediately contacted Black Zetsu. Because this matter was too important, and he chose to trust the relatively reliable Black Zetsu regarding the matter of secretly manipulating Urahara Kisuke…

After all, just by looking at Gin Ichimaru, you can tell he's disloyal; he's clearly not a loyal guy and only follows Kabuto Yakushi because of his orders. Kaname Tosen, on the other hand, is very loyal to Aizen, but he's just too stupid...

Black Zetsu never refused Aizen Sousuke's calls; in fact, it seemed almost impatient when connecting to the spiritual network: "Hehehehe... Lord Aizen, is there some special instruction you have for me at this time?"

Under normal circumstances, Aizen Sousuke rarely uses Black Zetsu.

In most cases, Aizen Sousuke would have Black Zetsu investigate hidden information and the whereabouts of Kisuke Urahara's Hogyoku in various places. Only when faced with something truly important would Aizen choose to use Black Zetsu as his trump card.

"There is indeed something..."

Aizen Sousuke smiled and slowly explained his plan to Black Zetsu, instructing Black Zetsu to carry it out according to his wishes: "I will send Gin to Hueco Mundo to contact Orochimaru. I hope the first plan will go smoothly... If the first plan fails, Black Zetsu, then you will carry out the second plan."

After saying this, Aizen Sousuke smiled and praised Black Zetsu: "I believe that only you can do this best."

This is not just empty praise.

Aizen Sousuke did indeed like Black Zetsu very much, because Black Zetsu came from the Hogyoku experiment and had never disappointed him. In a certain way, Aizen Sousuke also felt that he and Black Zetsu were very compatible.

"Hehehehe...Yes, ma'am."

After listening to Aizen Sousuke's plan, Black Zetsu automatically filtered out Aizen Sousuke's first plan in his mind and immediately began to prepare to execute the second plan.

Because the second plan to lure Urahara Kisuke was also the plan that he was ordered to carry out on behalf of Naraku.

"Then it's up to you."

Aizen Sousuke, completely confident in Black Zetsu's efficiency, suddenly asked another question: "Has the whereabouts of the Hogyoku created by Urahara Kisuke still not been found?"

"not yet…"

Black Zetsu immediately found a suitable reason, one that could even be used to convince Aizen Sousuke: "Because there are too many White Zetsu around Urahara Kisuke... Although those useless guys aren't very strong, their abilities are too bizarre..."

"Then let's keep looking..."

Aizen Sousuke showed no displeasure and even reassured his subordinate, "I'm leaving this matter to you, Black Zetsu."

He had heard of that group of White Zetsu before.

Furthermore, it was also because of the White Zetsu creatures around Kisuke Urahara that Aizen Sousuke's trust in Black Zetsu increased even more.

Sometimes, Aizen Sousuke even felt that he and Urahara Kisuke were destined rivals, always walking on the same path, yet always parting ways and heading towards opposition.

Neither of them was satisfied with the current state of Soul Society.

Both of them created incomplete Hogyoku.

Both of them obtained the products from the creation of the Hogyoku.

Their subordinates, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, are also species that have been opposed to each other since birth, just like the opposition between the two of them.

Aizen Sousuke is stronger, and Urahara Kisuke is more intelligent. They both believe in themselves and will eventually win their battle against each other.

but…

Aizen Sousuke looked down on Urahara Kisuke's vision. He believed that Urahara Kisuke clearly had the potential to break through the limitations of a Shinigami, yet he still chose to continue living the same life.

At this point…

Kisuke Urahara was far inferior to his teacher, Kabuto Yakushi.

Aizen Sousuke recalled his last conversation with Yakushi Kabuto before he entered the Soul King Palace, and a look of reminiscence flashed across his face.

"Mr. Kabuto...why did you choose me?"

"I hope this corrupt world can be changed, but my power is too weak. Urahara has disappointed me, and Gin's talent is not enough... I hope that someone who can truly change this world can sit on the throne."

"Then please look forward to it."

"Then I'll wait and see."

That day.

Kabuto Yakushi stood before Aizen Sousuke and told him that if he was willing to ascend the throne and change the current declining Soul Society, he wouldn't need to try to find out information about the Soul King's key, the key to the Soul King's Palace. He could become Aizen Sousuke's key to enter the Soul King's Palace.

This means that…

As a member of the Zero Division, Kabuto Yakushi was, in a sense, an ally of Sosuke Aizen. It was precisely for this reason that Sosuke Aizen was more willing to tolerate Gin Ichimaru's insolence and didn't care at all about Gin's attitude towards him.

Let me put it this way...

In Aizen Sousuke's view, Gin Ichimaru was a material cultural legacy left to Aizen by Kabuto Yakushi after he entered the Soul King Palace.

To be honest.

Aizen Sousuke actually quite likes Ichimaru Gin.

Aizen Sousuke not only admired the decisive and intelligent Ichimaru Gin, but also because Yakushi Kabuto had specifically mentioned that he hoped Aizen Sousuke could take good care of Ichimaru Gin.

This means that Gin Ichimaru was a hostage that Aizen Sousuke could use to threaten Kabuto Yakushi, and also the link that connected them in the past.

Therefore, Aizen never cared about Gin Ichimaru's offenses.

Even though Aizen would never trust Gin Ichimaru, he would never want to intentionally harm Gin Ichimaru.

After Aizen Sousuke contacted Black Zetsu, he summoned Gin Ichimaru and gave him orders to go to Hueco Mundo to contact Orochimaru and command the Arrancar army to go to the Human World to search for and capture Kisuke Urahara.

just.

Gin Ichimaru dislikes Kisuke Urahara.

Among the children who grew up in the orphanage, almost none of those who knew about the relationship between Kisuke Urahara and Kabuto Yakushi liked Kisuke Urahara, the guy who betrayed Kabuto Yakushi, not even Rangiku Matsumoto.

"I see…"

Gin Ichimaru squinted and nodded, chuckling softly as he spoke terrifying words: "If the Dean had stopped me from causing trouble for Urahara-senpai, he wouldn't be alive now. I've wanted to pin him to the wall with my divine spear for a long time..."

"It's rare to see you so irritable... Gin."

A helpless smile flashed across Aizen Sousuke's face, but in his heart he was somewhat pleased with Ichimaru Gin's attitude.

This means that Gin Ichimaru is not without weaknesses.

Even someone as meticulous and seemingly always calm as Gin Ichimaru has his moments of emotional outburst, which shows that he is not without flaws.

Unfortunately, Aizen Sousuke couldn't just let Ichimaru Gin kill Urahara Kisuke. He gently tried to calm Ichimaru Gin down: "Our goal is not to hurt him... or rather, at least not now."

After saying this, Aizen Sousuke added, "Just as Kabuto raised you, he also raised him from childhood... Even though Urahara betrayed Kabuto, he certainly wouldn't want to see you killing each other. That's precisely Kabuto's magnanimity."

"I see."

Gin Ichimaru nodded slowly, his smile unchanged, and continued, "I won't kill him until the plan succeeds... So I'll go and convey Lord Aizen's orders to Orochimaru now. I hope our plan goes smoothly."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Gin."

Aizen Sousuke adjusted his glasses and continued writing at his desk, saying, "After this, we can finally leave this dreary place."

"Should we leave Seireitei?"

Gin Ichimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, then his smile returned. He slowly nodded, "That certainly makes me look forward to a new life!"

If I leave Seireitei...

There will be a long period of time when we won't be able to see Matsumoto Rangiku.

But it doesn't really matter.

For Gin Ichimaru, whether he stayed in Seireitei or went to Hueco Mundo, both places were Akatsuki territory...

As long as it's Akatsuki territory, everything is negotiable.

Aizen Sousuke watched Ichimaru Gin turn and leave, and surprisingly found it amusing; he rarely saw Ichimaru Gin act so irrationally…

This is fine too.

This is the kind of subordinate Aizen Sousuke would like.

After Aizen Sousuke had arranged everything, he sat back down at his desk and quietly practiced his calligraphy, as if he hadn't been the one discussing the conspiracy just moments before; he was still the same gentle and refined man.

On the other side...

After receiving his orders, Aizen Sousuke's subordinates, Black Zetsu and Ichimaru Gin, both contacted Uehara Naraku directly.

This is absolutely outrageous.

No one would have imagined that someone would have planted a circle of spies around him, so that no matter what he said or did, he could not escape the surveillance.

Even if Aizen wanted to know something, it was all arranged by Uehara Naraku through Black Zetsu, Gin Ichimaru, Ulquiorra, and others.

Inside Uehara Castle.

Black Zetsu and Gin Ichimaru's holographic images appeared in the conference room, and the two of them reported Aizen Sousuke's orders to Uehara Naraku.

"Reject his first plan outright..."

Uehara Naraku leaned against a tall seat, his whole body shrouded in shadow.

In the darkness, Uehara slowly propped his chin up with his hand, a playful smile on his face, and slowly ordered, "As for the second plan, let's do it the way Captain Aizen wants!"

The plan was thwarted before I even left the house…
