Behind the Scenes in Naruto World
Chapter 683 - The Secret That Ichimaru Gin Revealed

Black Zetsu’s mockery was a bit harsh.

It made Sosuke Aizen sound like he was mocking him.

This feeling was indeed good. Black Zetsu was mocking Sosuke Aizen in front of him and even has some self-deprecating meaning in these words. For example, Black Zetsu did not mention that Uehara Naraku had deceived you but claimed that Uehara Naraku had deceived us.

These small details were very important.

In this way, Black Zetsu was also a duped fool.

Moreover, Black Zetsu was very clear about Sosuke Aizen’s character. He was a very generous person, even more, magnanimous than the reincarnation of his unfilial big brother.

Sosuke Aizen naturally would not blame Black Zetsu for his mockery. He slowly raised his palm to his cheek and smiled, “Oh? About Naraku… Have you found anything?”

Sosuke Aizen did not reveal his true face. He seemed to be unaware of it and had an original attitude toward Uehara Naraku.

Looking at Sosuke Aizen’s smile, the corners of Black Zetsu’s mouth curled up. His strange eyes slowly narrowed as he nodded and said, “Very interesting… In the memories of that White Zetsu, there was actually the battle between that little brat Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Madara…”

The mocking laughter in Black Zetsu’s voice became even stronger as if he was showing off his contributions, “Lord Aizen definitely wouldn’t have thought that… that Death Servant, Uchiha Madara, who once defeated you was powerless against Uehara Naraku.”

When he said this, Black Zetsu gloomily added, “Uchiha Madara even went all out and used the blue giant he used to slaughter Hueco Mundo…”

“…”

Sosuke Aizen put down his palm again. His finger tapped on the armrest, and a projection suddenly appeared on the wall of this secret room.

On that projection was a tall blue Susanoo, waving the Susanoo sword in its hand to cut open a deep gully!

“Mr. Madara in this form?”

Sosuke Aizen slowly lowered his head and looked at Black Zetsu. He said softly, “That little fellow, Naraku, is he that powerful?”

“Yes…”

Black Zetsu nodded and smiled darkly, “Lord Aizen definitely did not expect this, right? We have always treated him as a spare pawn…”

“I already know.”

Sosuke Aizen slowly shook his head and continued softly, “Hogyoku gave me a warning. It sensed the power that Naraku hid…”

“Did Lord Aizen already know?”

A trace of surprise flashed across Black Zetsu’s face.

“Yes.”

Sosuke Aizen nodded and calmly explained, “I just didn’t want to reveal any flaws in front of Naraku, so I kept this information a secret…”

The corners of Sosuke Aizen’s mouth curled up slightly, and he chuckled, “Perhaps Naraku wanted to hide his strength because he was worried about others, but as his former captain, I naturally couldn’t let him remain silent like this…”

To be honest.

If Black Zetsu didn’t kill that White Zetsu, who found Uehara Naraku’s real strength, it would be best. This way, Urahara Kisuke and Seireitei higher-ups would be aware of Uehara Naraku’s true face.

As long as there was a little provocation, when they would kill each other, even Zero Division might fight with the Uehara clan. Aizen himself will come out to collect the benefits as the real mastermind behind the scenes…

However, Black Zetsu was also loyal to him.

As an accessory from the previous experiment, when Sosuke Aizen saw this Black Zetsu who was still willing to be loyal to him even after seeing Uehara Naraku’s strength, he felt a little relieved.

However, what made Sosuke Aizen a little uncomfortable was that after he obtained Hogyoku, he thought that after he broke through the limit of Shinigami’s strength, he would have the advantage over Hueco Mundo who he led, Uehara clan, and Seireitei.

Now, it seemed that he was still at a disadvantage.

“Black Zetsu, think of a way to reveal the news to Seireitei!”

Sosuke Aizen glanced at Black Zetsu.

He continued in a low voice, “I’m going to see Mr. Orochimaru. Perhaps I have to postpone the battle…”

“Yes, Lord Aizen.”

Black Zetsu’s body slowly sank to the ground.

After Black Zetsu left, Sosuke Aizen slowly reached out to touch his chest. That was the place where he transplanted Hogyoku.

He had to think of a way…

To make himself stronger.

Just Hogyoku alone might not be enough!

Sosuke Aizen reached out and grabbed Kyouka Suigetsu. He stared at the face reflected by the Zanpakuto, and a rare trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Dozens of years ago.

In that defection incident, he was seriously injured. Kyouka Suigetsu was destroyed by Madara. Fortunately, Orochimaru helped to repair his Zanpakuto.

At that time, Sosuke Aizen once thought that he would abandon this Zanpakuto in the future. He thought that he would definitely surpass the mirror image Aizen from Kyouka Suigetsu Bankai. He did not want to see another person on par with him.

Even if it was another fake self.

Now it seemed…

Not a single bit of power was allowed to be wasted.

Kyouka Suigetsu was still very useful.

After Sosuke Aizen had merged with Hogyoku, Mirror Image Aizen’s abilities had also been greatly enhanced. If their main bodies and mirror images worked together, they would be able to win.

However…

Perhaps this was still not enough!

He still needed to get more!

Moreover, there was no one in Las Noches who could provide him with better suggestions than Orochimaru. Sosuke Aizen reached out to caress the hair on his forehead and opened the door to the secret room.

“Lord Aizen.”

Ichimaru Gin stood by the door with his hand on his sleeves. He smiled and said, “I wonder if Hogyoku’s fusion is successful? How do you feel?”

“Very good.”

Sosuke Aizen nodded slowly. He suddenly turned his head and asked casually, “Gin, is there a way to contact Mr. Kabuto? I may have something to ask him…”

Except for Orochimaru…

It seems that Kabuto was another choice.

Although Kabuto used to be Orochimaru’s student, Kabuto’s gentle personality was obviously more reliable than Orochimaru’s…

“Do you want to contact Teacher Kabuto?”

Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes and smiled. He reached out and rubbed his temples then continued to answer, “Several hundred years ago, Teacher Kabuto used a secret technique to secretly control a few Shinigami. Through them, we could observe the movements of the outside world. However, it would be very troublesome for us to contact those Shinigami…”

“Is that so…”

Sosuke Aizen pinched his chin thoughtfully.

Just as Sosuke Aizen was thinking about which Shinigami was controlled, Ichimaru Gin chuckled and continued, “After all, those Shinigami controlled by Teacher Kabuto… are the last four seats of the Uehara clan!”

“! ! !”

The shock on Aizen’s face disappeared in a flash!

This kind of thing… how could it be possible!

No, this kind of thing was also possible!

Otherwise, how could Kabuto have escaped the pursuit of the Uehara clan all by himself, that was because he had a well-informed channel!

“I was also very surprised when I first found out…”

Ichimaru Gin still narrowed his eyes and watched Sosuke Aizen’s expression change in satisfaction. He smiled and continued, “Although their ranking is low and their strength is not particularly strong, they are still Uehara clan Death Servants…”

Yes.

As the Uehara clan’s Death Servant, you can get too many secrets from them!

He really didn’t expect that…

Kabuto was actually hiding such a trump card!

“Is that so…”

A light flashed in Sosuke Aizen’s eyes. He stared at Ichimaru Gin and his face became slightly serious, “The purpose of telling me this information at this time…”

Ichimaru Gin smiled and spread out his palm, saying softly, “Because if we want to fight a decisive battle with the Uehara clan, some chess pieces have indeed reached the time to be used!

If Lord Aizen did not obtain Hogyoku, Teacher Kabuto would forever hide this secret… Now that Lord Aizen has obtained Hogyoku, Teacher Kabuto will naturally place his hopes on Lord Aizen. “

“”… “

Sosuke Aizen nodded to himself.

At this time, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a low voice, “If that’s the case, does Mr. Kabuto and you know something about Naraku…”

“I once wanted to force out his true face!”

Ichimaru Gin slowly raised his head and looked into Sosuke Aizen’s eyes. He smiled and continued, “Unfortunately, no matter what we do, he did not reveal any flaws… Or rather, Uehara Naraku would never easily reveal any flaws.”

“…”

Sosuke Aizen was not in a good mood.

Now that he thought about the way Ichimaru Gin and Uehara Naraku used to get along, it seemed that Ichimaru Gin was always using exaggerated methods to provoke Uehara Naraku!

However, Uehara Naraku had been enduring silently…

In that case, he was still the last person to know Uehara Naraku’s true face. Ichimaru Gin and Kabuto had long known about Uehara Naraku, but they had not told him!

It was only after he obtained Hogyoku…

This teacher and student pair told him this news!

This teacher and student pair only wanted to use him to deal with the Uehara clan’s threat. Then why did they hide the news about Uehara Naraku? Were they worried that he would retreat?

And…

“Since you know Naraku’s true face…”

Sosuke Aizen looked at Ichimaru Gin’s smiling face and continued to ask softly, “Why didn’t Mr. Kabuto tell Seireitei about this? If so, Seireitei and Uehara clan might become enemies, right?”

“There is no way to explain it.”

Ichimaru Gin shook his head slightly and slowly opened his eyes. His face was extremely solemn, “Because when we met Lord Uehara… His strength had already grown to the extent that even Teacher Kabuto had no choice but to back down.”

When Ichimaru Gin said this, the expression on his face became more and more serious, “Moreover, Lord Aizen should know our identity.

No matter what we do, Seireitei would not believe the Uehara clan’s enemy. Moreover, according to Teacher Kabuto’s observation, the Uehara clan also had spies in Seireitei, such as Tosen Kaname who betrayed Lord Aizen…

In this case…

Teacher Kabuto did not dare to rashly alert the enemy.”

“…”

A hint of fear flashed across Sosuke Aizen’s face.

If his every move had been under the Uehara clan surveillance at that time, then it would truly be a great joke!

“As for why I didn’t report it to Lord Aizen…”

Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes again and continued to explain with a smile, “Teacher Kabuto believes that Lord Aizen might be killed in the defection incident…

Even if Lord Aizen had some special means to escape Seireitei, he was easily defeated by the Uehara clan’s first seat. It seems that there is no need to tell Lord Aizen about this secret…”

Ichimaru Gin’s meaning was very clear.

That was, Sosuke Aizen’s strength was not enough. He was not worthy of Kabuto to tell him these secrets. Only when he obtained the complete Hogyoku did Kabuto think that Sosuke Aizen was qualified to know these secrets…

“According to Teacher Kabuto’s research, it should be very difficult to subdue the Hogyoku… Once the fusion experiment fails, no one can guarantee what Lord Aizen will become.”

The corners of Ichimaru Gin’s mouth curled up slightly. He grinned and continued, “Even Teacher Kabuto would not dare to carry out such a dangerous experiment. Now that Lord Aizen has left the secret room, congratulations on advancing further…”

“…”

The personality of this teacher and student…

It was really as bad as ever!

Sosuke Aizen had no reason to point out Ichimaru Gin because they were not particularly loyal to each other. It was normal for Kabuto and Ichimaru Gin to hide something from him.

It was just that…

This feeling of being treated as a chess piece by someone… made even a magnanimous person like Sosuke Aizen feel that it was a little ironic.

However, at this time, Ichimaru Gin had already compromised…

Moreover, it was not the time to pursue this matter with Ichimaru Gin.

“It’s really… interesting.”

The corners of Sosuke Aizen’s lips slowly curled up, and there was a faint hint of ridicule in his words, “Is it because you think that you can not defeat a strong enemy that you place your hopes on a stronger person?”

Perhaps…

This was the first step in the birth of a god.

When the others placed their hopes on him, it meant that he had already taken the step toward becoming a god…

However, this was a little sad.

“Because we dare not seek death lightly.”

Ichimaru Gin smiled at Sosuke Aizen and explained to himself, “There are fetters in our bodies. We all have important people who we cherish… So we absolutely… absolutely can not risk our lives so easily… I’m sorry, Lord Aizen.”

“It’s fine.”

“But from what I heard just now, it seems that Lord Aizen has also discovered Uehara Naraku’s true face?”

“It has been a while.”

Sosuke Aizen looked at the slight surprise on Ichimaru Gin’s face and continued calmly, “But I am still very grateful for your news…”

“It is good that I can help you.”

Ichimaru Gin lowered his head slightly and smiled, “After all, if we want to remove the Uehara clan’s threat, whether it is us or Mr. Orochimaru, we can only rely on Lord Aizen who has obtained Hogyoku.”

Sosuke Aizen felt a little strange in his heart. He thought that he was going to become a god, but he didn’t expect that it was actually just some people pinning their hopes of overthrowing the Uehara clan and Seireitei on him?

“It doesn’t matter. I am just curious about one thing…”

Sosuke Aizen shook his head and asked softly, “The Death Servants of the Uehara clan have already lived for thousands of years. Even the weakest four of them are the same. Can Mr. Kabuto rely on his secret technique to control them all the time?”

“Or rather, it is not a secret technique.”

A strange expression appeared on Ichimaru Gin’s face as he said with a sigh, “Because what Lord Aizen obtained was the successful Hogyoku. Naturally, you did not think about what you would get in failing to create Hogyoku…

Teacher Kabuto had transplanted a living, soulless creature named White Zetsu. It was a living creature that he had obtained when he had failed to create Hogyoku when he was still studying with Mr. Orochimaru.”
