Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 659 A Master and Disciple of the Same Lineage, A Student Who Betrayed His Teacher in the Same Way

Soul Society.

Seongjeongtei, a medical facility.

Due to the activities and actions of the Arrancar army, most of the Shinigami stationed in the human world were besieged and killed by the Arrancar Hollows, and they hurriedly fled back to Soul Society with heavy injuries.

Most of the Shinigami stationed in the mortal world belong to the 10th Division.

As the current captain of the 10th Division, Shiba Isshin, upon learning that his division had suffered severe damage, immediately ordered Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku to report the situation of the Arrancar and Hollows, while he himself rushed to the human world alone to meet up with his other subordinates.

The news that the Arrancar army was active in the human world caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Seireitei. This situation was extremely precarious. If the entire human world were to be occupied by the Hollows, it might become a hellish place!

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni immediately summoned all the captains of the Gotei 13 to brainstorm ways to deal with this sudden threat.

The captains all looked grim, clearly aware that the Arrancar and Hollows active in the Human World posed a significant threat to Soul Society. Who knew if those Hollows would attack Soul Society after conquering the Human World…

wrong…

We absolutely cannot allow those Hollows to take over the mortal world!

Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 10th Division, was a battle maniac. A ferocious smile appeared on his scarred face as he coldly said, "Come to think of it, it seems like we don't have any other options besides fighting!"

As a guy who loves fighting, Kenpachi Zaraki led the entire Eleventh Division like wolves and tigers. When they received news that a powerful enemy had appeared in the human world, the Eleventh Division's first thought was to directly lead the vanguard into the human world to fight!

"Wouldn't it be better to find out where the enemy came from before we do that?"

Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana slowly shook her head, looking in the direction of Shunsui Kyoraku: "Speaking of which, has the Eighth Division's intelligence department received any relevant information?"

Even the captains of the Death Gods couldn't help but look at Kyoraku Shunsui.

After all, they didn't know the origins of the Arrancar legions active in the mortal world. They needed to find out the enemy's intelligence first in order to avoid losses as much as possible.

The captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, noticed the sudden silence and the focus of everyone's attention on him. He slowly shook his head and said, "Huh? Information... we haven't found anything here. Those guys seem to have appeared out of nowhere..."

"How could enemies just appear out of nowhere..."

"Whether they come from Hueco Mundo or have been hiding in the human world all along, this large organization must have existed for a very long time, and it's impossible for them to have left no trace..."

"At present, the only information may still be traced back to the previous assassination attempt. Perhaps the assassin was not a Hollowfied Shinigami, but a so-called Arrancar in human form."

"If that's the case..."

All eyes were on the two members of the Fifth Division.

Just then, Aizen Sousuke had recovered from his injuries, and he attended the meeting with Uehara Naraku, where he also received news of the Arrancar army's operation.

Aizen Sousuke was indifferent to the Arrancar's actions. He didn't care much about the Arrancar's large-scale operation and simply left everything to Orochimaru, Ulquiorra, and others to handle.

To be honest...

Although this operation caused a lot of trouble, it also alerted the Soul Society, which will allow him to be more high-profile when he defectes to the Soul Society in the future.

Ever since Yoruichi Shihouin and Shinji Hirako's Visored were captured and taken to Soul Society, Aizen Sousuke had realized that he would be in trouble in Soul Society sooner or later.

It would be better to use this as an excuse to get out of trouble.

Aizen Sousuke has not yet questioned Black Zetsu, and does not know how far their plan has progressed. If hundreds of Hollows from the Arrancar army invade the human world, it should not be a problem to capture Urahara Kisuke, right?

However, at this time, Aizen Sousuke still needed to remain hidden in Soul Society for a while, at least until he could ascertain the progress of his two subordinates, Black Zetsu and Ulquiorra…

As everyone's gaze fell upon Aizen and Uehara Naraku, Aizen Sousuke slowly clenched his fist and covered his lips, coughing lightly a few times as he said, "Speaking of which, perhaps the ones who attacked Naraku and me last time were also the same Hollows that attacked the human world—mutated Arrancar in human form. I just don't know who ordered them..."

Aizen Sousuke slowly raised his head, a solemn expression appearing beneath his disheveled hair: "Without a doubt, they are enemies who want to stir up chaos in the Seireitei and Soul Society, because their original goal was to assassinate Naraku..."

At this point, Aizen Sousuke glanced at Uehara Naraku and continued softly, "Although Naraku has never liked to rely on his status within the Seireitei, his status is indeed related to the safety of the Seireitei..."

"team leader…"

Uehara Naraku looked somewhat disappointed.

It's clear that Uehara Naraku doesn't like his identity, and he has never liked relying on his status as the head of a powerful clan.

Even just a brief mention of this sentence by Aizen Sousuke made the young clan head feel somewhat disappointed, as if everything he had gained was due to his status.

"..."

The captains of all 13 Gotei 13 nodded slightly.

Aizen Sousuke is right. If the person who attacked and assassinated them was also an Arrancar in human form, then he must have been a mortal enemy of the Soul Society's Seireitei!

Because that guy or the person behind him attempted to assassinate the head of the Uehara clan, which was clearly intended to provoke conflict between the Uehara clan and the Seireitei, and to overthrow or even destroy Soul Society!

"Then there's nothing more to say..."

Following Aizen's lead, the Ninth Division Captain, Tosen, continued in a deep voice, "If those people are our enemies... then we must purify all evil!"

"I think so too..."

Gin Ichimaru squinted and nodded slowly, chuckling as he continued, "It just so happens that we haven't had a proper battle in a long time..."

"That's not wrong..."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni closed his eyes, slowly nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Then let it begin from this moment... Gentlemen, please prepare your armies for war! This war to reclaim the world, please plan it carefully!"

After all, they are the Grim Reapers!

If Shinigami and Arrancar Men were to wage war in the human world, it's hard to say that they wouldn't destroy the space itself. Even a simple act, or a captain's Bankai, could potentially obliterate a city or region...

Therefore, their best approach would be to lure those Hollows into an open area or into the Soul Society, which would allow the Shinigami to unleash their full power without hesitation.

Before that…

We must mobilize troops!

The entire Soul Society and Seireitei were on high alert like never before. Elite Shinigami from every division of the Gotei 13 were recalled to Seireitei because they were now facing hundreds of Arrancar in human form!

Each Arrancar-like Hollow...

They all require power nearly equivalent to that of a captain-level Grim Reaper to deal with!

This means that each squad can only send out their captain, and they must be captains with strong combat abilities, all of whom are elites from the entire Gotei 13!

Just as the Gotei 13 was busily gathering its elite forces…

Urahara Kisuke and Tessai, who were still active in Hueco Mundo, finally managed to infiltrate Orochimaru's experimental base beneath Las Noches with the help of White Zetsu.

The experimental base was far larger than they had imagined.

Even Kisuke Urahara was somewhat amazed; even when he was the captain of the 12th Division, he had never had such a luxurious base…

Various sleeping Hollows...

Various styles of Zanpakuto...

Strange and unusual experimental instruments…

And a spacious archive room, as big as a warehouse, filled with bookshelves!

Even the names written on those bookshelves were things that Kisuke Urahara had only heard about from Kabuto Yakushi, but had never personally witnessed!

Many of these were forbidden technology research experiments…

If he could stay in this archive room for a year, no, or even just one day, Kisuke Urahara would feel that he had gained as much as he had in the past hundred years!

This was once Orochimaru's experimental base. It's filled with all the experimental data he left behind, which, without exaggeration, is enough to advance the technology of Soul Society!

Especially since most of them are forbidden techniques…

Those forbidden techniques that only appeared in rumors and documents!

For example, the artificial human technology that Kisuke Urahara was most interested in.

This technology creates humans who are indistinguishable from ordinary people by transplanting a powerful soul into a clone, and who even retain their full spiritual power…

Such a human could completely hide in the real world and live like a real human, going a step further than a cybernetic body…

This can already be described as a miraculous recovery.

Kisuke Urahara had been coveting this technology for a long time.

For so many years, Kisuke Urahara has been developing a concealed artificial body in order to hide his actions in the real world. Urahara has actually gotten the hang of it. He just needs a little more inspiration or guidance to greatly speed up his experimental progress!

Unfortunately…

They don't have time to stay here any longer.

This is the underground of Las Noches, where they could be discovered at any time by the Arrancar and Hollows patrolling here, making escape extremely difficult.

"Getting a few pieces of data shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kisuke Urahara scratched his head and slowly reached out to pick up a document, but his eyes caught sight of another line of text!

Compared to artificial human technology...

The forbidden technique marked in that line of text made Kisuke Urahara's heart flutter even more!

The most perfect artificial body technology in the world, the foundation upon which the Uehara clan established themselves in Soul Society, the legendary Impure World Reincarnation technique!

If we could obtain the Impure World Reincarnation technique…

He doesn't even need to continue risking his life to find evidence; as long as he can crack the secret of the Impure World Reincarnation, he can directly get the Uehara clan to release the person!

certainly…

This plan is a bit dangerous.

Even without carrying out such a dangerous plan, just taking a look at the Impure World Reincarnation technique would satisfy Kisuke Urahara. In other words, no researcher in Soul Society would remain unmoved by this forbidden technique!

Without a doubt...

This might be the highest secret manual in the entire Soul Society!

Just as Kisuke Urahara was about to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, a cold voice stopped him: "I heard you're Kabuto's student?"

"Who goes there!"

Tessai Goriya and Kisuke Urahara suddenly turned their heads away!

A pale, thin figure stood at the door of the laboratory data room. A long tongue slowly emerged from his mouth and licked his lips…

This scene…

It looks extremely eerie!

Orochimaru!

Cold-hearted Orochimaru!

Kisuke Urahara didn't need to ask at all, because these researchers had once admired Orochimaru so much that they would never mistake Orochimaru's appearance!

"Hehehe, shouldn't you be bowing to me at this time?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Didn't your teacher, Kabuto Yakushi, tell you... who his teacher was?"

"..."

Kisuke Urahara fell silent.

Orochimaru's statement was clearly not fabricated.

At this point, Orochimaru mentioned Kabuto Yakushi, indicating that he and Kabuto did indeed have a very close relationship, and were even master and disciple from the same lineage.

Perhaps this also proves why Kabuto Yakushi was able to develop the Impure World Reincarnation technique; it's also possible that he obtained the information from Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Kisuke Urahara took a deep breath, waved his hand to block Tessai Katsuhiko behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Sir... do you recognize me?"

"Although I'm hiding here, I've been keeping a close eye on the Soul Society all along..."

Orochimaru's laughter grew increasingly chilling, sending shivers down one's spine: "A clever and talented child like you could help me take revenge, or become my best pawn, so of course I wouldn't want to let you go. Unfortunately, Kabuto seems to like you a lot, and he's already taken you under his wing..."

"Teacher Dou..."

A look of surprise flashed across Kisuke Urahara's face.

At that moment, Urahara's eyes suddenly changed. He remembered how Yakushi Kabuto had nurtured and cared for him, and how he had always protected him. The two of them were almost like father and son.

Now, listening to Orochimaru...

It seems that Kabuto Yakushi did more for him than he knew.

According to Kisuke Urahara's own analysis, he speculated that Orochimaru might be a traitor to the Uehara clan. Now it seems that Orochimaru not only betrayed the Uehara clan, but also wanted to take revenge on them.

Just as Kisuke Urahara was about to try and extract information, Orochimaru's laughter suddenly turned shrill, as if filled with endless resentment: "I almost forgot...you brat, you betrayed Kabuto too...it seems that we masters and disciples of this lineage truly share the same nature...all of us have abandoned the teachings of our master..."
