YM778.TV Chapter 692 - I Was the Head of the Uehara Clan from the Beginning to the End!
Under the warm sunlight, the hearts of Shinigami inside Soul King Palace could not help but feel a chill. This completely overturned their worldview.
“Just as you saw…”
Uehara Naraku withdrew his gaze from Orochimaru and looked at Sosuke Aizen. He smiled and explained, “Since Kabuto and Gin are both my subordinates, Mr. Orochimaru is naturally my subordinate.”
“From the beginning?”
“Yes, from the beginning.”
Uehara Naraku nodded slowly and said softly, “Do you still remember the legend in Hueco Mundo? The so-called Madara chasing Orochimaru is essentially just to help Mr. Orochimaru clear up Hueco Mundo’s troubles…”
“…I understand. Thank you for clearing up the confusion. “
Sosuke Aizen forced himself to keep calm.
However, if even Orochimaru was Uehara’s subordinate, then the Arrancar Army that Orochimaru created might not be loyal to Las Noches…
Sosuke Aizen’s eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the Arrancar Army that was flying toward him. He ignored the Arrancar Army which was controlled by Orochimaru who also landed behind Uehara Naraku’s throne, because his gaze stopped on Coyote Starrk…
Wait…
Coyote Starrk?
Why was the leader of his Espada also a member of the Uehara clan?
Sosuke Aizen looked at the other Espada. These Espada hesitated for a few seconds under his gaze and then followed Coyote Starrk to stand behind the throne without hesitation
In an instant…
Sosuke Aizen became a loner.
Orochimaru and Arrancar Army betrayed him!
Sosuke Aizen clearly commanded Arrancar Army that could shake any forces in this world. In just a few seconds, he lost all his subordinates…
This…
Wasn’t this a little too much!
Gotei 13’s team leaders looked at Sosuke Aizen with sympathy. Wasn’t this Lord of Hueco Mundo too miserable?
Who would have thought that all of Sosuke Aizen’s subordinates were spies of the enemy? This also meant that he had always been under the surveillance of the enemy…
And…
Was there something wrong with the Uehara clan?
If it was just one Arrancar spy, it would be fine, but why did he send so many spies just to monitor Sosuke Aizen?
This…
Except for Sosuke Aizen himself, were everyone else their spies?
Was this something that a person could do?
“Coyote Starrk is also…”
Sosuke Aizen’s eyes gradually became dangerous. He looked at Uehara Naraku again, “Since Starrk is also your subordinate… then… Ulquiorra…”
“It’s just as you think.”
Uehara Naraku nodded calmly and continued with a smile, “It’s really interesting to think about it now…The assassination plan hosted by Captain Aizen was all under my supervision…Captain Aizen actually wanted to use Ulquiorra to play a trick in front of me…but I saw Captain Aizen’s performance at the time, which made me very happy.”
“…”
Sosuke Aizen clenched his hands again.
Although Aizen still maintained a calm expression on his face, everyone could feel the violent reiatsu that Sosuke Aizen was suppressing. This kind of thing was indeed difficult to accept peacefully…
Now that they think about it…
The Sosuke Aizen back then was really like a clown!
The assassination plan that was clearly executed was very smooth, and even Sosuke Aizen himself was satisfied with the assassination plan which made Uehara Naraku more convinced of him…
However…
Looking at it now, all of this was within Uehara Naraku’s supervision. This young family head of the Uehara clan was like watching a clown show, watching Sosuke Aizen pretend to act in front of him. He didn’t know whether he was mocking or ridiculing him…
Sosuke Aizen clenched his hands and a noise came from his clenched hand. It seemed that his mood was not very good…
This was normal.
Back then.
Sosuke Aizen had always thought that he was toying with Uehara Naraku in the palm of his hand, but he did not expect that the one who had always been toyed with in the palm of his hand was Sosuke Aizen himself…
“There is no need to hide your anger, Captain.”
Uehara Naraku smiled and spread out his palm. With a face full of sincerity, he advised, “Just as you controlled Kurosaki Ichigo’s life in your own hands… Your life has always been under my control…
Ever since I heard of your name and the matter, I have been secretly observing you. Ever since you entered the Spiritual Arts Academy, someone has been reporting everything about you to me, including how many grains of rice you ate during your meal…”
When he said this, the smile on Uehara Naraku’s face became even more brilliant, “It’s a pity that your growth is too fast, and you almost found traces of the stalker… In order to get rid of your suspicion, I had to guide your suspicion to Mr. Orochimaru.”
“This is a good decision.”
Sosuke Aizen nodded slowly, and his reiatsu gradually stabilized. He continued softly, “In that case, the information I obtained about the Uehara clan is all fake, and your age… doesn’t seem to be the so-called new family head of the Uehara clan…”
There was no need to make any further guesses!
Sosuke Aizen thought about how the Uehara clan had always hidden their inheritance, hid the information of their past family head, and hid their history…
Even the 13 Death Servants had never shown any signs of betrayal!
A somewhat terrifying answer appeared in Sosuke Aizen’s heart.
“You guessed right… Captain!”
The corners of Uehara Naraku’s mouth gradually revealed a hint of playfulness. He looked at Sosuke Aizen, then looked at Yamamoto Shigekuni and the other Shinigami captain who had come over. He chuckled and continued, “The Uehara clan has never had a successor. For thousands of years, the family head has always been me…”
“How wonderful this is… Doesn’t a family head with a short lifespan meet Seireitei’s expectations for the Uehara clan? If it is a family head who has lived for thousands of years, it will always make people feel fear when they mention it, right?”
“Don’t look at me like that. Everything I do, doesn’t it match your expectations? What do you think… Captain-Commander Yamamoto?”
“…”
A sigh flashed through Yamamoto Shigekuni’s heart.
Gotei 13’s team leaders slowly showed some fear on their faces.
A family head who had existed for thousands of years would indeed make them involuntarily start to speculate about Uehara Naraku’s strength and his purpose…
No one expected it…
The head of a wealthy family had concealed his identity for thousands of years just to make Seireitei feel at ease.
This fellow, Uehara Naraku…
He was really able to tolerate this!
He had hidden himself for thousands of years just like that…
“Do you want to hear a story?”
Uehara Naraku leaned against the throne and said leisurely, “The weather is so good today. It seems very suitable to hold an outdoor tea party!”
“Please tell me.”
Yamamoto Shigekuni pressed his palm against the hilt of his Ryujin Jakka. This deceived old man seemed to be ready to draw his sword at any time!
Uehara Naraku did not care about the threat that Yamamoto Shigekuni posed. He just tilted his head and smiled, “This is a very long story… So much so that most of the time, I wonder why I can endure this kind of loneliness.”
“If I think about it seriously, it should be three thousand years ago. Gotei 13 was still not established, and Seireitei was still a barren land. The so-called nobles are just a few weak little guys…”
“In order to blend in, we wanted to attract the strongest Captain Hyosube Ichibe and Captain Yamamoto. Unfortunately, we were rejected by them!”
“In order to not arouse their suspicion, I established the Uehara Clan with my subordinates. In the wilderness, we established a wealthy family… Speaking of which, it is really interesting. The Uehara Clan, which was once rejected, stood on the head of the five great nobles… There are even nobles who have taken refuge under my command…”
The group of Shinigami listened with faces full of fear.
No one would have thought that the Uehara Clan had actually been hidden for thousands of years!
For thousands of years, this group of people had actually spent such a time and not revealed their true colors in front of everyone!
Especially Uehara Naraku…
This person was once a kind little guy in everyone’s eyes, but his true face was a mastermind that had hidden for thousands of years to stir the world…
What so-called succession of the family head…
What so-called ‘unable to go against 13 Death Servants’ will’…
Everything was just a disguise for this mastermind to hide his identity.
The expressions of every Shinigami seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Even though those words had come out of Uehara Naraku’s mouth, their brains were still hesitant to convince themselves to believe it…
This kind of thing…
It was really hard to believe…
A flash of realization flashed across Matsumoto Rangiku’s face. This woman finally remembered Kabuto and Ichimaru Gin’s warning to her, telling her not to go against Uehara Naraku’s words, and not to show any disrespect in front of Uehara Naraku…
“Extremely terrifying forbearance…”
However, when they accepted this fact, everyone would involuntarily lament the horror of Uehara Naraku and the Uehara clan!
Just hiding for thousands of years under the eyes of so many people was absolutely not something that the others present could do!
Even Sosuke Aizen had once revealed some clues!
“Did the Tsunayashiro clan submit to you?”
Yamamoto Shigekuni slowly closed his eyes and whispered the name of the family that sought refuge with Uehara Naraku, “Only if they take refuge in you, can you hide all this…”
“Yes…”
Uehara Naraku sighed and nodded. He continued, “The Great Archive recorded all the major events that happened to Soul Society. This is not a small trouble…
From then on, we hid our strength and secretly watched Seireitei, which was as weak as a village, gradually grow bigger and bigger, and watched the enemies of the Gotei 13 disappear again and again…”
“This old man is very curious…”
Yamamoto Shigekuni opened his eyes and stared at Uehara Naraku, “In those thousand years, even if you have the Tsunayashiro clan to hide your secrets… You can’t guarantee that no secrets will be leaked…”
Actually, what Yamamoto Shigekuni wanted to ask more was…
How many people had the Uehara clan planted in Gotei 13?
Because Sosuke Aizen’s example was right there. No matter how incredible things might happen in front of them, even Yamamoto Shigekuni could not help but wonder how many spies there were in Gotei 13…
“I guess what Captain-Commander actually wanted to ask.”
Uehara Naraku looked at Kabuto and Orochimaru, smiled, and said, “Don’t tell me you don’t think that you won’t have to pay any price for obtaining the perfect undead body that Impure World Reincarnation brought?”
“…”
Yamamoto Shigekuni fell into silence.
There was a huge problem with Impure World Reincarnation!
At this moment, Yamamoto Shigekuni vaguely understood why the Uehara clan was so strict with Impure World Reincarnation’s examination. Many of the Shinigami who had received Impure World Reincarnation’s body had chosen to join the Uehara clan because they had already been controlled by Uehara Naraku.
“Forget it.”
Uehara Naraku raised his head and looked at the Gotei 13 members in the distance. He said loudly, “At this time, it seems that there is no need to hide it anymore… Anyone who bears the name of Akatsuki… Now, stand behind me!”
“Yes… My Lord.”
The 9th division captain, Tosen Kaname, and the 7th division captain, Komamura Sajin, came out first, and then other Shinigami followed them one by one!
The other Gotei 13’s Shinigami captain looked at this scene with an ugly face. There were only two Shinigami captains who left, but there were thousands of Shinigami who left together!
That guy Uehara Naraku…
He actually arranged so many people in Gotei 13!
Even though it was not as good as controlling Sosuke Aizen, it made Gotei 13’s Shinigami captains somewhat unable to accept it, especially the 8th division captain, Kyoraku Shunsui!
Because…
Only his lieutenant, Yadomaru Lisa, was left beside Kyoraku Shunsui.
The members of the entire 8th division were all spies sent by Uehara Naraku. No wonder the 8th division often can’t collect any information!
Fortunately…
He still has a subordinate.
Kyoraku Shunsui even had some bitter thoughts. He reached out and patted Yadomaru Lisa’s head. He then smiled and said, “It seems that my luck is good, that guy left me with a subordinate who can be dispatched…”
“…Let go!”
Yadomaru Lisa’s expression was a little ugly.
This kind of thing was really no comfort without comparison.
Compared to the loner Sosuke Aizen, the situation on Gotei 13’s side was slightly better, even though they were also angry with their own teammates’ betrayal…
Other than the controlled Shinigami…
There were also some Shinigami who grew up in Kabuto’s orphanage. Some of them think that they were deceived and used by Kabuto. In the end, there were some orphans who chose their own dean.
Among the standing team, Matsumoto Rangiku, Abarai Renji, and Kuchiki Rukia were somewhat at a loss. A few of them do not know which side to stand on…
Fortunately, no one bothered with them.
Yamamoto Shigekuni glanced at Gotei 13, whose team had clearly shrunk. There was a hint of self-mockery in his eyes, “It seems… I haven’t lost my face too much…”
Uehara Naraku shook his head and chuckled, “After all, Captain-Commander has always taken care of me… Although you just want to use me…”
“Since everything is clear…”
Yamamoto Shigekuni slowly nodded and suddenly pulled out his Zanpakuto. “Then, this should be the last battlefield!”
“The loser only needs to accept the rule of the throne of heaven.”
Sosuke Aizen quietly landed next to Yamamoto Shigekuni. He slowly raised his head and looked at Uehara Naraku. The reiatsu on his body slowly turned into a strong gust of wind!
“This is our battlefield now…”
“Let’s decide the final winner here…”
“Such a brilliant scheme, to the point that even I have no choice but to be convinced… However, the outcome of all this still requires us to rely on our strength to determine the victor…”
“I want to see…”
“Even though I’ve been manipulated to this point, I still want to see if I’m that caged bird…”
“…”
Uehara Naraku was silent for a moment. He watched as Sosuke Aizen approached him step by step. Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate rushed forward to stop Aizen.
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, signaling them to retreat to the side. He slowly stood up and nodded at Sosuke Aizen.
“As you wish.”
“As a thank you for saving me.”
“I will give you a chance to use your full strength.”
