Chapter 664 - Frog in a Well, Do You Think You Have Seen the Whole World?
A spatial rift appeared in the sky above Seireitei.
A group of Arrancar floated in the air, staring at the fleeing Shinigami with grim smiles and Cero gushed out from their hands or mouths one after another!
The low-level Gillian crowded in the space crack. Under the command of their superior, they condensed Cero and sprayed it on the ground of Seireitei!
This group of Menos was wreaking havoc here without restraint, venting their Cero on their old enemy Shinigami’s base camp!
Other than Menos, some modified Hollows were also grinning hideously as they fought with Shinigami inside Seireitei, showing their madness wantonly!
When the entire captain of Gotei 13 stepped out of the ruins in a sorry state, there was a flash of anger in the eyes of each captain, and the sounds of Zanpakuto unsheathing came one after another!
“That’s it!”
Sosuke Aizen’s voice fell into the ears of everyone. His body slowly floated upwards. He looked down at Seireitei who was in a panic and said indifferently, “From this moment on, let this world feel that there is a god in the sky…”
Under the gaze of all the captains, the bodies of Sosuke Aizen and Ichimaru Gin slowly floated into the air. What was frightening and uneasy was that Sosuke Aizen was still holding Uehara Naraku’s shoulder. He did not know when he had captured this young family head!
Just at this time, a spatial vortex appeared behind Sosuke Aizen, and a palm was about to grab this newly defected 5th division captain!
Sosuke Aizen disappeared with Uehara Naraku using shunpo. There was a hint of confidence in his voice as he said, “Mr. Obito, the speed at which you emerge from spatial vortex is too slow. This weakness is too obvious for us…”
“Humph!”
Obito snorted coldly. Wearing a tiger-stripe mask, he appeared in the air. Along with him was Itachi, who had always been moving with him.
As the two officers responsible for protecting Uehara Naraku, they would never be absent from any occasion where Uehara Naraku appeared!
However, no one expected that Sosuke Aizen was so courageous that he would kidnap Uehara Naraku at this time!
Even Uehara Naraku himself…
He never thought that Sosuke Aizen would actually want to lead him to defect!
This matter…
It was really exciting!
All the Death Attendants of the Uehara clan, whether it was Tobirama, Obito, or Itachi, didn’t know for a moment whether this was Uehara Naraku’s arrangement or Sosuke Aizen didn’t want to live anymore…
Was he crazy?
He actually went to kidnap the biggest mastermind behind the scene?
Compared to 13 Death Servants, Gotei 13 was even more furious at Sosuke Aizen’s actions. A trace of anger flashed across Yamamoto Shigekuni’s face. At this moment, he was more like an elder who was worried about Uehara Naraku!
“Let go of Lord Naraku.”
The walking stick in Yamamoto Shigekuni’s hand slowly disappeared, revealing its true appearance. That Zanpakuto who was known as the strongest Zanpakuto in Soul Society’s history…
Ryujin Jakka!
Yamamoto Shigekuni hold his Zanpakuto and looked coldly at Sosuke Aizen in the sky. The anger in his eyes was almost no longer suppressed, “If you let go of Lord Naraku now, this old man can alleviate your sins of stirring up this chaos!”
Uehara Naraku was the first family head to join Gotei 13 in the thousands of years of the Uehara clan. He was also the only family head who advocated for the Uehara clan to integrate into Soul Society!
To put it bluntly, he was the hope of Soul Society’s stability and peace.
Yamamoto Shigekuni had always placed high hopes on Uehara Naraku for the stability of Soul Society, hoping that the head of the Uehara clan can guide the Uehara clan to integrate into the noble system of Seireitei and Gotei 13.
If something goes wrong with Uehara Naraku, who was now the 5th division lieutenant, in the hands of Sosuke Aizen, Yamamoto Shigekuni has no doubt that the Uehara clan would never be willing to have anything to do with Gotei 13 from now on…
Even…
The Uehara clan might turn against them!
After all, Gotei 13 couldn’t even protect the family head of the Uehara clan and even caused Uehara Naraku to fall into danger. Any member of the Uehara clan would doubt Gotei 13’s ability, right?
Perhaps the only good news was…
The family head of the Uehara clan seems to have always been a single lineage.
Of course, this kind of thing could not be confirmed. Anyway, that huge wealthy clan was in Seireitei, and if it turns around a little bit, it may cause some trouble. Who knows if there will be any offshoots?
Yamamoto Shigekuni’s thoughts naturally did not hide from Sosuke Aizen.
Or, it could be said that Yamamoto Shigekuni had never cared about revealing his thoughts. He only took advantage of the situation to slowly let Seireitei accept the Uehara clan.
“Why let go of Naraku?”
The corners of Sosuke Aizen’s mouth were still curled up in a smile. His fingers gently pushed his glasses and calmly continued, “Do you think he will choose to immerse himself in the lies of this world, or rather choose to see the true side of this world?”
Sosuke Aizen’s eyes fell on Uehara Naraku who was beside him. He chuckled and continued, “Naraku, are you willing to tell me your answer?”
“…”
Uehara Naraku was still silent.
At this time, Uehara Naraku faintly felt that there might be a problem with his physique.
Why was he always able to attract the attention of the villains? Why did these villains always hope to turn him into one of them?
The Black Zetsu of the past was like this.
The current Sosuke Aizen was also like this.
Could it be that his thoughts were not bright enough?
No, the current him should be someone who stood under the light!
Uehara Naraku looked down at the Shinigami and Hollow who were fighting on the ground. His eyes flashed with a trace of pity, “Captain… Did you do everything that happened in front of me?”
“Yes…”
Sosuke Aizen still grabbed Uehara Naraku’s shoulder and chuckled, “The rotten and corrupted Seireitei always needs someone to help them clean up the world that is even dirtier than Hueco Mundo. Let them know that this world has never been…”
Clang!
A sharp sword light interrupted Sosuke Aizen’s words!
Uehara Naraku’s body suddenly broke free from Sosuke Aizen’s palm. At some point in time, a black glowing Zanpakuto appeared in his hand, and the tip of his blade pointed at Sosuke Aizen!
Under Sosuke Aizen’s gaze, Uehara Naraku’s face was full of confusion and anger, “Captain should know that I never want to see this kind of war… Now you… are instigating a war…Captain!”
“I almost forgot.”
There was still a smile on Sosuke Aizen’s lips.
Even though Uehara Naraku pointed at him with Zanpakuto, Sosuke Aizen still did not panic. He just smiled and continued, “I once said that the kindness in your body is actually a virtue worthy of praise…”
After saying this, Sosuke Aizen changed the topic and continued calmly, “But, Naraku, do you know the definition of kindness?
If you choose to expel the wolves in order to save the sheep in the grassland, and in order to save the wolves you expel the lions, what will the final outcome be like?”
Without waiting for Uehara Naraku to respond, Sosuke Aizen answered by himself, “The end result makes you feel bad because there are always other animals paying the price.
The grassland will be eaten by sheep and turn into a desert. Sheep, wolves, and lions will starve to death one after another, and the endless desert will swallow and bury all these vibrant things.”
Sosuke Aizen looked at Uehara Naraku whose expression changed. He smiled and continued to say cruel words, “You did nothing wrong, but it is better to do nothing…”
Sosuke Aizen looked at Uehara Naraku’s face with satisfaction. He slowly opened his palm and said with a smile, “Naraku, this world is not as simple as you think. The people who exist in this world are not as simple as you. Not everyone treats everything around them with the same pure mind as you…”
“…”
Uehara Naraku gritted his teeth.
If he didn’t grit his teeth at this time, he was worried that his expression might collapse.
Of course.
The expressions of some people present became subtle.
Gin, Tobirama, Obito, and Itachi couldn’t help but lower their heads. Their expressions didn’t collapse, but their mentality collapsed a bit.
Why does Sosuke Aizen think Uehara Naraku was like this?
“Haven’t you thought it through?”
The smile on Sosuke Aizen’s face deepened. He continued softly, “Standing above the sky rewrites the fate of all existence in this world so that everything in this world can survive under the same sky, this is true kindness…”
“…”
There was a hint of confusion in Uehara Naraku’s eyes.
In the next moment, he was about to slowly put down the Zanpakuto in his hand.
Just then, a voice entered Uehara Naraku’s ears, “Hmph, no matter how you think about it, people who instigate a bloody war have nothing to do with kindness, right?”
Tobirama looked at Sosuke Aizen and Uehara Naraku in the air and shouted coldly, “Pick up your own Zanpakuto, Naraku! You are the head of the Uehara clan, do not be confused by what the person in front of you said!”
“Mr. Tobirama…”
Hearing Tobirama’s words, Uehara Naraku clenched the black sword in his hand again. He glanced at Sosuke Aizen, who was still smiling with confidence. This man seemed to hold the truth of the world as always.
Looking at Sosuke Aizen’s eyes, Uehara Naraku could not help but turn his head away, as if he did not dare to look directly at the current Sosuke Aizen. He just whispered, “Although I know that Captain is right… I’m sorry… That is not what I want.”
The next moment!
The Zanpakuto glowing in black was raised again!
The reiatsu in Uehara Naraku’s body rose and his voice became unprecedentedly firm, “Captain, the future you said may be correct! But what I want to do is to stop what is happening now!”
“No matter what you say…”
“Captain… the current you…”
“You have indeed done something wrong!”
Uehara Naraku’s voice suddenly became more and more impassioned, as if he had found himself again. He stared into Sosuke Aizen’s eyes and continued in a deep voice, “I still remember you once said… If the captain makes a mistake, I must stop you, don’t take into account that you are the person I respect the most…”
“Is that so? You still remember that kind of thing…”
The corners of Sosuke Aizen’s mouth curled up, and he chuckled as he continued, “At that time, I should be saying that I felt a great regret for not stopping Captain Hirako from carrying out Hollowfication Experiment without permission…”
“…”
Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat.
They all recalled the Hollowfied Shinigami Incident.
There was no need for them to think about it. The people present already knew what kind of words Sosuke Aizen would use to attack Uehara Naraku!
Sure enough!
The smile on Sosuke Aizen’s face became more and more strange, and his eyes gradually became deeper. He looked at Uehara Naraku and said, “Have you forgotten that Tosen exposed me at the meeting? In fact, Captain Hirako did not carry out Hollowfied Shinigami Experiment without permission at all…”
Sosuke Aizen looked down at Seireitei’s ground. He had already seen that the Visored had appeared on the battlefield. He smiled and continued, “Everything is fake. What you hear and see is not real…”
“Hirako Shinji didn’t conduct Hollowfication Experiments without permission.”
“Urahara Kisuke didn’t conduct Hollowfication Experiments on his own either.”
“Everything that happened back then, I implanted the Hollow souls into their bodies, forcing them to shed their bodies and turn them into mindless Hollow…”
“So, I lied to you back then.”
Sosuke Aizen glanced at the Zanpakuto in Uehara Naraku’s hand. He followed Zanpakuto’s black light and slowly landed on Uehara Naraku’s face. He looked at Uehara Naraku’s gradually collapsing expression. He smiled and continued, “The Captain Aizen you knew in the past has never existed from the beginning. Do you still want to continue pointing a sword at the current me?”
“…”
Uehara Naraku’s face slowly turned pale.
At this moment.
No matter who it was, they had no choice but to praise the sharpness of Sosuke Aizen’s words. Just one sentence could easily crush a person’s will.
Sosuke Aizen used Uehara Naraku’s reverence for him and fundamentally denied Uehara Naraku’s reason to raise his sword again.
If everything was fake…
Then the current Uehara Naraku should not have the belief to raise a sword…
After Sosuke Aizen had dealt a blow to Uehara Naraku, he opened his mouth to comfort his emotions, “I have said it before, Naraku. As long as you stand by my side, you will be able to see the truth of this world… Then, do you want to see the real Sosuke Aizen now?”
“A frog at the bottom of a well, do you think you have seen the whole world?”
A domineering voice suddenly appeared on the battlefield!
A surging aura swept toward the battlefield in an instant. Countless Shinigami and Hollow were suppressed by this aura to the point of being unable to move!
Even the powerful Arrancar could not help but tremble. After the low-level Gillian felt this aura, they even scrambled to escape back to Hueco Mundo through the spatial rift!
At this moment…
They seemed to feel the murderous intent of their natural enemies!
A vast blue slash flew out of thin air. Hundreds of Arrancar were directly sent flying by this slash. They fell to the ground in a sorry state!
The vast blue slash crossed the sky, splitting the low-level Gillian, who wanted to escape from the space rift, and even directly cutting open the space rift that was about to heal.
A black-haired figure in red-plated armor appeared in the sky above Seireitei. His face was full of arrogance and his words were full of disdain, “You only spied on a corner of the world and want to challenge this world?”
