Chapter 617 - A Shinigami Who Was Not Good at Chanting Incantation
Chapter 617 - A Shinigami Who Was Not Good at Chanting Incantation
Sosuke Aizen liked to control everything.
Like the current situation, he secretly controlled the original 3rd seat to fight Uehara Naraku. He wanted to see the true power of the Uehara clan with his own eyes.
Even though he had already seen Uehara’s battles several times…
However, Aizen clearly knew those battles were just child’s play.
Sosuke Aizen still did not have enough information on Uehara Naraku. If he wanted to subdue or kill Uehara, he had to have more detailed information.
Therefore…
The opponent that Aizen had arranged was naturally not too weak.
No, or rather, he was also a powerful shinigami.
The name of this 5th Division 3rd seat was called Kishinaru. Unlike other shinigami controlled by Kyouka Suigetsu, Kishinaru was Aizen trusted aide in Soul Society. To Aizen, it was a rather important tool.
Compared to obtaining or killing Uehara Naraku, this tool was actually not important, so he was also directly thrown out by Aizen to test Uehara.
Of course…
Kishinaru challenging Uehara, this kind of thing…
Sosuke Aizen himself will definitely not agree on the surface.
Aizen looked at the original 3rd seat, his eyebrows could not help but slightly wrinkled, and he said with some hesitation, “Kishinaru, you should step down first. I arranged for Uehara to be the 3rd seat not because of his status, but because I believe in his power…”
“Captain Aizen!”
Kishinaru interrupted Sosuke Aizen and turned to look at Uehara, “No matter how many suitable reasons you say, it is better to let everyone see our new 3rd seat’s power!”
“…”
Uehara had a subtle expression on his face.
This guy Aizen…
It was clearly he who arranged for the original 3rd seat to challenge him, and he even put on a serious look as if his subordinates did not obey his arrangements…
This was singing a duet in front of him!
It was really hard to maintain a good person’s character!
It was not easy for everyone to act, and Uehara himself was no exception…
“Sorry, Captain Aizen…”
Uehara raised his head and looked at Sosuke Aizen. He said hesitantly, “In fact, I am already very satisfied to be able to join the 5th Division through the graduation exam. I don’t want to fight with my future companions for a position…”
“Hey!”
Kishinaru looked at Uehara angrily and said with a displeased face, “Do you mean that you are looking down on me?”
Uehara hurriedly took a few steps back, and a hint of fear flashed across his face, “No… sorry… That’s not what I meant. I never looked down on Senpai…”
“Even if he looked down on you, so what?”
Ichimaru Gin couldn’t help but chuckle. He slowly said, “With Lord Naraku’s identity, he can completely look down on anyone present…”
This sentence was a bit too much.
No matter who it was, it sounded like they were trying to sow discord.
Ichimaru Gin did not care about the crowd’s eyes and continued on his own, “But speaking of which, the position of 5th Division’s 3rd seat is really too low for Lord Naraku!
It just so happens that I want to find a time to step down as the lieutenant, so it’s better to choose today; I just wronged Lord Naraku earlier, so I will step down and give my current position….”
“Gin.”
Sosuke Aizen looked at Ichimaru Gin with a blaming expression and calmly said, “Don’t say those ironic words in front of Naraku in the future. A person’s kindness should not be an excuse for others to attack him unscrupulously…”
“Captain…”
A look of gratitude appeared on Uehara’s face as he looked at Ichimaru Gin again, “Lieutenant, I am not…”
“Lord Naraku.”
Ichimaru Gin looked at Uehara with a smile and continued with a smile, “Please don’t refuse; I am not deliberately mocking you… but Central 46 has appointed me as the 3rd Division Captain.
Naturally, it is impossible to stay in the 5th Division.”
Of course…
The reason on the surface was this.
The real reason was that Ichimaru Gin did not want to be Uehara’s boss. Even if it was only a superficial boss, Ichimaru Gin feels a little dangerous…
“This is indeed true.”
Sosuke Aizen’s finger knocked and whispered, “Gin will soon be promoted to the 3rd Division Captain. The lieutenant’s position will be vacant…”
But if that was the case…
The battle between Uehara and the 3rd seat…
Unexpectedly, Ichimaru Gin looked at Uehara the next moment. He smiled and said, “I know Captain Aizen has always been optimistic about Lord Naraku. He will definitely support Lord Naraku as the 5th Division’s lieutenant. Moreover, the captain himself has the power to appoint him;
However, before that, why don’t we ask Lord Naraku to show his one-thousandth of his strength and let everyone know his real strength, which was enough to become a Gotei 13 Captain…”
It was really outrageous.
If not for the fact that Kabuto had brought Ichimaru Gin to meet him, Uehara would have thought that this guy was deliberately mocking him…
However, Ichimaru Gin revealed a solution to Uehara.
It was not good for Uehara to keep refusing Aizen’s secret probing.
Instead of letting Aizen remain curious about the Uehara clan’s strength, it would be better to try cutting off one of his claws right now so that he could figure out the price he would have to pay when he probed Uehara again!
Of course, he can’t just agree easily…
Someone must force Uehara out.
“No… lieutenant…”
Uehara shook his head and said in an obscure voice, “I just graduated from school. I just want to become…”
“Naraku.”
Sosuke Aizen gently interrupted Uehara and said with a smile, “All the people here are companions who will live and die with you in the future… At least let them know your ability and why I want to choose you to be the lieutenant.”
This brat…
What a bother…
If not for the fact that he had found out from some hidden information that there was a high possibility that the Uehara clan had a method to deal with some illusory arts… Sosuke Aizen would have directly used Kyouka Suigetsu to hypnotize Uehara and let him fight to the death with Kishinaru!
“Yes… Captain.”
Uehara took a deep breath, and it seemed that his appearance was like that of a person that had accepted some terrible challenge and mission.
5th Division’s training field.
Uehara and Kishinaru stood on the field, and others stood around.
Kishinaru suddenly pulled out his Zanpakuto, looked at Uehara standing in front of him with his bare hands, and said in a deep voice, “This year’s Spiritual Arts Academy number one graduate… It can’t be that he doesn’t have Zanpakuto, right?”
Zanpakuto was a weapon that shinigami relied on to survive.
Zanpakuto’s form, shape, and ability were all built through shinigami’s soul. Each of them had their own name, and shinigami used Zanpakuto’s power according to his communication with Zanpakuto.
If shinigami and his Zanpakuto can really communicate with each other, they can make their Shinigami power soar out of thin air through the two forms, Shikai and Bankai.
“I don’t really want to use my Zanpakuto…
Uehara shook his head and said in a low voice, “It’s not because I underestimated senpai, but our clan’s Zanpakuto is a little different…”
“Wouldn’t that make me even more curious?”
Kishinaru frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Let me see your Zanpakuto! At least this will make me go all out without any distractions! Don’t disappoint me too much, newcomer… get angry, Kuraiha!”
Kishinaru’s reiatsu suddenly increased, and the appearance of Zanpakuto in his hand suddenly changed. The blade was shockingly covered with dense sawteeth!
This was his Shikai form!
Uehara was silent for a moment. He slowly stretched out his palm and grabbed the air. A powerful reiatsu erupted from his body!
In an instant…
Uehara’s reiatsu had completely suppressed Kishinaru!
This reiatsu even made the members of the 5th Division involuntarily retreat a few steps. As for Kishinaru, who faced this reiatsu, he seemed unable to breathe!
Just the reiatsu…
It was so strong that it made the 3rd seat a little frightened!
“Huh?”
Sosuke Aizen frowned slightly and stared at Uehara’s back. He whispered, “In the reference room, the secrets about the Uehara clan mentioned that every family head would pass down their spiritual power…”
“Yes…”
Ichimaru Gin smiled and nodded. He did not care about the shocking reiatsu in front of him. He seemed to be a little careless, “The Spiritual Power Inheritance that has been accumulated for thousands of years, even if it is only a part of it, it is already amazing enough…”
Although his mouth was saying words of surprise…
However, from Ichimaru Gin’s expression, it seemed that he did not care about how strong Uehara’s reiatsu was, as if he did not care about how strong Uehara was.
Just as Sosuke Aizen was thinking about what information about the Uehara clan’s Zanpakuto was mentioned in the reference room besides spiritual power, Aizen saw Uehara’s Zanpakuto. The appearance of Zanpakuto made his eyes tighten!
A golden light appeared in Uehara’s hand!
This golden light gathered into a golden light sword quickly and appeared in Uehara’s hand. Rather than saying that the light sword was composed of spirit particles, it was better to say they were photons!
Uehara suddenly raised the golden light sword in his hand and began to chant the self-made Shikai release call with a face full of sincerity, “Bathe in the light… Ama no Murakumo Sword!”
The next moment…
The long sword in Uehara’s hand flourished with golden light!
The surging reiatsu and dazzling light quickly enveloped the entire 5th Division. Only when it touched the spirit-reducing stone building did it slowly dissipate…
“Senpai, let’s begin.”
Uehara slowly raised the golden light sword in his hand, and his face became unprecedentedly serious, “Just attack me. I will restrain my strength… Ama no Murakumo Sword is the Zanpakuto who symbolizes justice and light. He will never hurt innocent people.”
“Ama no Murakumo Sword’s existence is light.”
Uehara held the golden light sword in his hand and slowly said, “The power that Ama no Murakumo Sword gave me is enough for me to have the courage to defeat any difficulties…”
“…”
Kishinaru’s expression froze for a second. The next moment, he rushed up, waving his sawteeth Zanpakuto. A hint of anger and disdain flashed on his face, “Don’t look down on me!”
Soon…
He flew back at an even faster speed!
Uehara waved the golden light sword in his hand, slashed directly at Kishinaru’s Zanpakuto, and sent this 3rd seat flying with his sword!
Kishinaru suddenly stepped on the ground, and his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. This was Gotei 13’s shunpo!
Kishinaru waved the Zanpakuto in his hand. The sawtooth on the blade suddenly became sharp and suddenly slashed toward Uehara’s neck!
This blade…
It was as if it was going to cut Uehara into two!
“It seems like he’s going to encounter danger…”
Ichimaru Gin stood to the side and slowly said, “Speaking of which, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to use this opportunity to kill Lord Naraku?”
“There is nothing suitable or not.”
Sosuke Aizen slowly shook his head and calmly explained, “Moreover, the power in Naraku is not as simple as you think… In the last graduation exam, the hollow that I helped him kill was a Gillian, who had failed his evolution and was good at concealing himself…”
Sosuke Aizen slowly continued, “However, before I helped him kill it, he could easily catch a Gillian with his close combat ability…”
“What a shocking genius…”
Ichimaru Gin had a nasty smile on his face. He looked at Kishinaru, who had been sent flying by Uehara again, and could not help but continue, “His attainments in kendo seem to be very amazing. It seems that Kishinaru is going to lose…”
“No.”
Sosuke Aizen shook his head with a smile and continued, “Take a good look… Kishinaru’s Kuraiha is not that simple!”
Indeed…
Although after Uehara’s Zanpakuto appeared in the world, Kishinaru had indeed fallen into a disadvantage for a short period because there was a huge gap in reiatsu between them. However, this gap was not enough for Uehara to crush Kishinaru with absolute strength!
Every time Kishinaru’s Zanpakuto landed on Uehara’s golden light sword, it inevitably covered the golden light sword with a layer of grey shadow, as if it was covered in dust!
This was Kuraiha’s ability…
If they collided, he could use his own reiatsu to erode the Zanpakuto in the enemy’s hands gradually!
Obviously, if they continued to fight…
The Ama no Murakumo Sword in Uehara’s hands should be completely useless!
“Is there no other way?”
In the next moment, the light sword in Uehara’s hand dissipated. He slowly closed his hands and began to methodically chant the Kido incantation, “Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel, with light, divide this into six…”
The golden light in Uehara’s hand dispersed instantly, then six beams of light were summoned and slammed on Kishinaru’s waist, restraining him. He finally chanted the last sentence, “… Bakudo #61, Six-Rod Light Restraint! “
Uehara watched as the light prison bound Kishinaru before he slowly let out a sigh of relief, “Phew, it’s finally completed. What I’m worst at is reciting Kido’s incantation…”
