Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 664 Let's cheer up a little, Naraku, this will end soon.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense after Soi Fon uttered a single sentence.

All eyes in the entire Gotei 13 were focused on Soi Fon, then turned to Aizen Sousuke, gazing at this gentle man who seemed like a true gentleman.

No one expected that Soi Fon, the captain of the second division, would attack Aizen, the captain of the fifth division, at this moment!

"Captain Soi Fon, what are you saying?"

A look of resentment flashed across Uehara Naraku's face, and he suddenly stood up.

Just as Uehara Naraku was about to argue with Soi Fon, Soi Fon silenced him with a single sentence: "Lord Naraku, didn't Tobirama-san tell you about this?"

"Wh...what?"

Uehara Naraku's expression faltered, and he seemed to hold Tobirama Senju in some awe: "This... what does this have to do with Tobirama-san?"

"Lord Naraku."

Soi Fon stared at the still composed Aizen Sousuke and said coldly, "Your respected Fifth Division Captain Aizen Sousuke has been colluding with Orochimaru, a traitor of the Uehara clan, all along, attempting to kill you and even instigating a civil war within the Seireitei. Didn't you know this?"

"..."

The entire conference room fell silent.

The next moment, the entire Gotei 13 erupted in uproar!

No one expected that the Second Division Captain Soi Fon would accuse Aizen Sousuke of such a serious crime at this time, and even tarnish Orochimaru's reputation here!

The 12th Division Captain, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, grinned eerily and said in a sinister voice, "Mr. Orochimaru is highly respected in the Research and Development Bureau... There are some things you shouldn't say carelessly..."

"Hey, Soi Fon, don't talk nonsense!"

"How could Captain Aizen do such a thing!"

"This is not the time to arbitrarily criticize colleagues. Let's first call in the Central 46th Bureau to investigate!"

"The Central 46 has long been controlled by Aizen Sousuke using Kyoka Suigetsu!"

Soi Fon interrupted one of the captains' suggestions with a cold voice, staring at Aizen Sousuke and continuing, "Speak up... Lord Aizen, your Kyoka Suigetsu Shikai ability can manipulate a person's five senses, right? For decades, the entire Central 46 has been under your control, hasn't it?"

"Soi Fon..."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's somber voice interrupted Soi Fon's words. The old man slowly stood up, leaning on his cane, and said softly, "Now is not the time for accusations... Some things need to be said with evidence."

"Then please allow me to present the evidence!"

Soi Fon gritted her teeth and continued in a deep voice, "I have already asked Tobirama Senju and Kisuke Urahara to come here. They both have evidence of collusion between Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru..."

"Then let's put it out!"

Kyoraku Shunsui smiled with interest: "I just received some interesting news myself. At first, I just thought it was funny... but now it seems like it's actually quite useful intelligence!"

Just yesterday.

After Kisuke Urahara, the Visoreds, and Yoruichi Shihouin left Uehara Castle, each of them went to meet their old friends or former superiors. Lisa Yagami also visited Shunsui Kyoraku and revealed the truth of what happened back then to him.

With Kyoraku Shunsui standing on Soi Fon's side, everyone's eyes fell on Aizen Sousuke, and everyone's face showed disbelief. What evil crime could this captain of the Fifth Division have committed?

However, the Second Division Captain Soi Fon and the Eighth Division Captain Kyoraku Shunsui are essentially the intelligence and inspection departments of the Gotei 13. Aizen Sousuke, whom they jointly accused, should not be so innocent, right?

"Go and fetch Tobirama-sensei and the former captain of the 12th Division, Kisuke Urahara..."

Yamamoto Shigekuni's deep voice filled the conference room. His gaze fell on Aizen Sousuke, and he continued in a muffled voice, "Sousuke, do you have anything to say in your argument?"

Everyone was watching Aizen.

Everyone is waiting for Aizen's answer.

The captain of the Fifth Division slowly raised his head and looked at everyone present. He reached out to adjust his glasses and revealed a gentle smile, just like his usual smile.

Just then, the captain of the 7th Division, Tosen Kaname, suddenly interrupted, saying in a deep voice, "Excuse me, there's something I need to explain... Because of my blindness, I have a document that I might need you all to take a look at."

"Um?"

Soi Fon's eyes flickered.

Kyoraku Shunsui's smile slowly faded.

According to the information they received, Aizen Sousuke, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname were accomplices, and now Tosen Kaname suddenly jumps out...

They just couldn't bring themselves to speak up and stop it.

However, when Tosen took out the documents from his pocket and placed them on the table, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of each captain who had read and circulated the documents.

This is a record of Aizen Sousuke's spiritual pressure traces.

Strictly speaking, it could even be described as a list of Aizen Sousuke's crimes over the past decades, if everything in this document could be proven...

"I should say, back when I was still at the True Spiritual Arts Academy..."

With his head bowed, Tosen spoke softly, "When I was angry at the darkness of this world, Captain Aizen lured me into joining his ranks in the name of changing the world. I thought he would change the world..."

However, I later realized that it was because my already blind eyes would become a weakness of his Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, so he had brought me into his camp early on in order to eliminate the potential threat of Kyoka Suigetsu.

Decades ago, Hirako Shinji subtly discovered Aizen Sousuke's underhanded tactics and was framed by him. All the captains or vice-captains who went to participate in the rescue were subjected to Hollowfication experiments by him, and I was there at the time.

The previous assassination attempt was orchestrated by Aizen Sousuke. His intention was to gain the trust of the Uehara clan, send Uehara Naraku and the Thirteen Dead Men to his aid, and give himself the time to conquer Hueco Mundo.

Aizen Sousuke's ambition far exceeded our imagination. Contrary to what Captain Soi Fon said, he did not form an alliance with Orochimaru, but rather conquered Orochimaru and the entire Hueco Mundo with his own strength, becoming the ruler of Hueco Mundo.

I didn't see any of this...

But my ears and my heart heard it all!

Even if I lose my sight, it will not affect my judgment of justice. Aizen Sousuke, I never thought of siding with you. Everything I have done is for true justice, but you have violated the rules of justice that belong to this world!

Your ambitions are too great.

How could I possibly see any sense of justice in a man who is ambitious enough to want to rule the world?

"An interesting saying... Tosen."

Aizen Sousuke still wore that gentle smile, and he even slowly nodded in agreement with Tosen Kaname's words: "If you really think about it that way, I do seem to resemble those ambitious people..."

This statement sounds exactly the same as what Aizen Sousuke said in the past.

However, something felt off to everyone present; it seemed that Aizen shouldn't be so calm in the face of the captains' accusations…

Everyone's mood gradually tightened.

Aizen Sousuke changed the subject, looking at Tosen Kaname, his smile becoming even gentler: "However, you're wrong about one thing, Tosen. I don't want to call those ambitions; I prefer to call them hopes."

To others, that was Aizen Sousuke's ambition.

For Aizen Sousuke, it was a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

Now, Tosen Kaname's betrayal is something Aizen Sousuke never expected.

Aizen Sousuke originally intended to use his pawns in the Seireitei to bring Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Shinji back to their original forms, and then launch his defection plan when the Seireitei fell into internal strife again.

However, Tosen Kaname's betrayal has now disrupted Aizen's plans.

Aizen Sousuke was well aware that Tosen Kaname, who had been following him all along, possessed far too much evidence about him, even though Aizen Sousuke wouldn't care about that evidence.

Each captain of the Gotei 13 unconsciously gripped their Zanpakuto tightly, their spiritual pressure gradually surging. They moved slowly, guarding the exit of the conference room, and some even slowly approached Gin Ichimaru.

"What do you want to do, Rangiku?"

Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes, smiling without turning his head, and asked the woman behind him, "Are you standing behind me with your Zanpakuto, ready to kill me at any moment?"

After saying this, before Matsumoto Rangiku could even reply, Gin Ichimaru smiled and continued, "Although I think dying by your sword right now wouldn't be so bad... wouldn't that make you too lonely in this world?"

"Are they telling the truth?"

Matsumoto Rangiku gripped her Zanpakuto, gritted her teeth, and instead of responding to Gin's words, asked, "Gin, tell me, what exactly are Aizen Sousuke and you...?"

Matsumoto Rangiku was somewhat unwilling to believe it.

Matsumoto Rangiku has always known that she doesn't understand Ichimaru Gin.

However, Matsumoto Rangiku didn't care about these things. She believed that Ichimaru Gin inherited Yakushi Kabuto's wisdom, while she inherited Yakushi Kabuto's kindness.

What I never expected was that Gin Ichimaru was involved with Sosuke Aizen, and even had a plan to overthrow the Seireitei...

This matter…

What Matsumoto Rangiku found somewhat unacceptable was that Ichimaru Gin had disobeyed Yakushi Kabuto's teachings and gone down the wrong path.

"Hasn't someone already said that?"

Gin Ichimaru shook his head, narrowed his eyes, and smiled as he continued, "Lord Aizen and I are both dangerous individuals who want to overthrow the Seireitei... Lord Aizen hasn't denied that, so I don't seem to have any reason to deny it, do I?"

"You really..."

Matsumoto Rangiku gritted her teeth and refused to say another word.

While the couple, who had grown up together, were talking, Aizen Sousuke was surrounded by a group of captains on the other side.

Aizen Sousuke did not deny it.

Or rather, he no longer denies these things.

Regardless of whether there was evidence for the accusations made by Soi Fon or Tosen, Aizen Sousuke did not deny them, and even slowly revealed his true face hidden beneath the mask of humility.

Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana looked at Sosuke Aizen, her face filled with bitterness and regret: "This is so unlike you, Sosuke... Why have you become like this?"

"It's such a shame, I never imagined you would have such a deep misunderstanding of me..."

Aizen Sousuke maintained his humility, smiling as he continued, "Actually, the Aizen Sousuke you knew from the beginning never existed... Of course, even now, it doesn't stop me from still admiring you... First Kenpachi, Unohana Retsu."

The news that Unohana Retsu was the first Kenpachi caused a slight ripple, but those present seemed to understand the importance of the situation better. They only glanced at Unohana Retsu before turning their attention back to Aizen Sousuke.

"team leader."

A somewhat strained, childish voice reached everyone's ears.

Every Shinigami captain couldn't help but look at that young man. Uehara Naraku, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, was probably the Shinigami who respected Aizen Sousuke the most.

Under their gaze, Uehara Naraku clenched his fists, looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Aizen, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Captain, what you said isn't true, is it? You were the one who saved me!"

"Captain, if you tell the truth, if you say they framed you... I'm willing to protect you in the name of the head of the Uehara clan, even if the entire Seireitei can't punish you!"

"Lord Naraku!"

"Lord Naraku!"

"Lord Naraku..."

A flicker of surprise crossed the eyes of each Death Captain.

If Uehara Naraku, a person of such importance, insists on standing by Aizen Sousuke's side, it will not be good news for them!

Let me put it this way...

If Uehara Naraku chooses to stand on Aizen Sousuke's side now, these captains should probably shout, "Why is the king rebelling?"

After all, the Uehara clan's status as a powerful family was almost equivalent to that of royalty, and they were even more troublesome in terms of strength.

Fortunately, someone changed the situation at that moment.

Tobirama Senju appeared instantly beside Naraku Uehara using the Flying Thunder God Technique, his face full of impatience as he said, "Shut up! This is not the time for you to speak. You cannot represent the Uehara clan yet!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku gritted his teeth.

Just as he was about to say something more, Tobirama Senju glanced coldly at Naraku Uehara and continued, "Every word you utter will become the judgment of the Thirteen Dead Servants, which will affect your decision to merge the Uehara clan with the Seireitei."

"..."

Uehara Naraku gritted his teeth and stepped aside.

After Tobirama Senju dismissed Naraku Uehara with a few words, his gaze fell on Sosuke Aizen, and he said in a deep voice, "Our patriarch has a deep misunderstanding of certain sinners. I will handle this matter properly later. Until then, let's deal with the trouble in front of us!"

"Really..."

Aizen Sousuke shook his head, a gentle pity flashing across his face: "Why treat someone destined to stand at the pinnacle of the world like this... We should all know that young flowers always need to be nurtured before they bloom."

"This is none of your business."

Tobirama Senju's voice remained indifferent.

"Yeah?"

Aizen Sousuke slowly shook his head, his spiritual pressure gradually erupting, and his voice became somewhat unpredictable: "Since you don't like Naraku... then hand him over to me."

Aizen Sousuke looked at Uehara Naraku, who had retreated to the side with a somber expression, and smiled as he tried to soothe him: "Cheer up a little, Naraku. This will all be over soon, and I'll show you a different kind of scenery!"

next moment…

Streaks of crimson light descended from the sky!

The entire conference room was reduced to ruins in an instant!

No one expected that at this most tense moment in Seireitei, a group of Arrancar, along with a mixed army of Gillian Hollows and Hollows, would invade Soul Society!

Moreover, they bypassed the Killing Stone barrier and invaded the entire Seireitei, even nearly wiping out all the captains of the Gotei 13!
