Chapter 611 - The Secret of the Uehara Clan

Whose student went out with a guard?

Rangiku wouldn’t really go along with Uehara’s words. She still remembered the solemn expression on Gin’s face when he mentioned Uehara Naraku’s name.

She definitely couldn’t attract trouble for their orphanage dean, Kabuto. She absolutely couldn’t leave any excuse for Uehara’s clan to make trouble for Dean Kabuto!

Isshin didn’t have so many scruples. He didn’t care about the eyes of his lieutenant at all. He patted Uehara on the shoulder with a smile. “It would be great if little Naraku could come to the 10th Division after graduation…”

When Isshin said this, he touched his chin and said, “And Rangiku just found a nice little guy. If little Naraku can come, we will have two genius newcomers!”

“Captain, don’t say silly things!”

Rangiku’s forehead could not help but jump.

Everyone knew that this was absolutely impossible.

Because all the higher-ups were very clear that according to Uehara’s identity if he could not become captain because of his cowardly personality, the most likely team he would join should be the 1st Division that Captain Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni personally led.

“I’m sorry, Lord Naraku. Our captain was too rude.”

Rangiku closed her palm and slowly lowered her head toward Uehara, expressing her apology, “We still have to go on a mission, so we can only leave for now.”

“Then… see you again.”

Uehara smiled and waved his hand. He brought Itachi and Obito, the two guards, into Seireitei.

On Seireitei’s tower.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stood here.

Yamamoto was the apex of Soul Society and Shinigami. Not only did it refer to his status, but also his strength. He was the most powerful Shinigami in the entire Soul Society!

His Zanpakuto was a fire-type Zanpakuto…

Claiming to be able to burn everything in the world!

Once this old man releases his Zanpakuto, the entire Soul Society might not be enough for him alone…

This old man…

He was definitely Soul Society’s strongest Shinigami!

On Seireitei’s tower.

Yamamoto looked at Uehara and his two guards, slowly walking in from afar. He closed his eyes slightly and could not help but mutter, “The little guy seems to be easier to get along with than we imagined…”

“Yes…”

A figure walked to Yamamoto’s side, pushed up the glasses on his nose, and said with a smile, “I saw this since Lord Naraku entered the school… Although the relationship between the Uehara clan and me is very tense, I have to say that Lord Naraku’s kindness really makes people not feel any hostility.”

“Kabuto.”

Yamamoto slightly turned his head and looked at the silver-haired youth beside him. He frowned slightly and said, “I hope you really think so. In this period of time, Uehara seems to have encountered several assassinations…”

“I don’t know about this kind of thing.”

Kabuto quickly shook his head and asked with a smile, “Is Captain-Commander suspecting me? I have no reason to hurt someone who shows me kindness…”

“It’s best this way.”

Yamamoto’s eyes suddenly opened, and a strong Reiatsu was emitted from his body, suppressing Kabuto not to move!

Yamamoto’s voice gradually became sharp. He continued in a low voice, “A slow person like me has already noticed Soul Society’s undercurrent. The only people who use Impure World Reincarnation are you and Uehara clan…”

“I really can’t deny this…”

Kabuto pushed up his glasses and continued to explain with a smile, “Didn’t the previous head of the Uehara clan can also use Impure World Reincarnation?”

“No.”

A sharp light flashed in Yamamoto’s eyes.

He continued in a low voice, “As a member of Zero Division, you should know the secrets of the Uehara clan… There will always be only one Shinigami in their clan when they grow up.”

Kabuto’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly spoke on behalf of Yamamoto, “That’s right… the secrets of the clan… The reason why every clan head of the Uehara clan has a short lifespan, but powerful strength is precisely that they have a secret inheritance technique…

Every clan head of the Uehara clan will sacrifice their soul after their descendants grow up and seal their spiritual power on the Shinigami’s body of their closest relatives. This will allow their descendants to obtain powerful strength as soon as possible and protect their clan’s status forever…”

So…

All along, the Uehara clan only had one true member. The other thousands of Shinigami, and even the 13th Death Servants, were all just servants of the Uehara clan!

As for the inheritance secrets of the Uehara clan, a little guy called Urahara Kisuke discovered an incomplete manuscript of the forbidden technique left by Orochimaru many years ago.

The incomplete manuscript only has the forbidden technique effect written on it.

But this incomplete manuscript made Soul Society higher-ups realize that the Uehara clan might be using this secret inheritance technique…

At that time, the entire higher-ups of Soul Society were almost scared.

They had never thought that the clan heads of the Uehara clan would actually dare to sacrifice everything for their clan. Just this courage alone was enough to make them the most prosperous clan of Soul Society!

Originally, this secret could be exploited…

It was a pity that the marriage and childbirth of the head of the Uehara clan were all confidential.

Before the Uehara clan announced the change of clan head, almost no one knew whether the head of the Uehara clan was married or not. No one knew whether the head of the Uehara clan had children. This family also seems to know their weaknesses.

This also made it very difficult for people to set up any tricks against the Uehara clan.

Unfortunately…

After Uehara Naraku took over as the head, he did not grasp the spiritual power inheritance he had obtained, so he began to step forward and use the clan head’s authority…

This allowed the little ones to act.

Now that he heard Kabuto talk about the Uehara clan’s secret, Yamamoto frowned more and more tightly. He then coldly said, “Uehara Naraku indeed has the spiritual power accumulated by the Uehara clan for thousands of years.

However, according to our observations, it will take some time before he can quickly begin to awaken and master the spiritual power in his body. According to his talent, he may at least gain power beyond the captain’s level at that time…”

“Yes…”

The corner of Kabuto’s mouth curved into a smile. He then said with a low smile, “So if you want to assassinate Lord Naraku, this period of time is the most suitable opportunity.”

“That’s right.”

Yamamoto stared at Kabuto and said word by word, “If Uehara Naraku is killed, you will be the only one who can use the Impure World Reincarnation in the whole of Soul Society…

Only you have the motive to harm Uehara Naraku secretly. Only you know the information about the Uehara clan’s weakness. Only you, as a member of Zero Division, are still active outside. How can this old man not doubt you?”

“Really…”

Kabuto shook his head and could not help but laugh, “I will receive the Spirit King power tomorrow and live in the Soul King Palace for a long time. Does Lord Yamamoto still doubt me?”

“…”

Yamamoto fell silent.

If Kabuto were about to be modified by the Spirit King’s power, he would never come out of the present Seireitei. Instead, he would stay in the Soul King Palace to protect the Spirit King’s body to maintain the balance between Soul Society and the Human World.

If so…

It seemed that there was no need to be too vigilant of Kabuto.

Yamamoto hoped that Kabuto would really give up the hatred of the past.

“Okay.”

Kabuto slowly turned around and left, leaving only the last sentence, “I don’t need you to urge me to receive the Spirit King’s power. I am very interested in the legendary Spirit King. After all, I am also very curious about this power that can modify a Shinigami into an immortal…”

“…”

Yamamoto did not respond.

It was not until Kabuto left that the old man’s expression slowly eased because Kabuto’s existence had indeed caused a lot of trouble for Seireitei.

Hundreds of years ago.

After Kabuto came to Soul Society, he opened an orphanage in Rukongai and adopted many homeless children. So far, this orphanage was still running.

After many of these homeless children grew up, most of them entered Spiritual Arts Academy to study, and after graduation, they became Shinigami.

Kenpachi Zaraki and Kusajishi Yachiru, whom Kabuto had taken in, had become the captain and lieutenant of the 11th Division.

Recently, Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku have become lieutenants, and according to the decision of Central 46, Ichimaru Gin will be promoted to the Captain of the 3rd Division in the near future.

Apart from these captains and lieutenants…

There were also many young Shinigami who came from this orphanage.

This was originally a good thing.

This orphanage was very famous in Rukongai. Because of this, Kabuto became very popular, making his prestige in Rukongai very high.

Without a trace of politeness…

Kabuto had already represented the will of Shinigami’s commoner group.

However, the conflict between Kabuto and Uehara clan had never been eliminated. This made Yamamoto a little worried that these newly born Shinigami would become Kabuto’s tools…

As long as Kabuto was willing to live in the Soul King Palace for a long time…

Then all the fetters between him and Seireitei would be slowly cut off.

Under Yamamoto’s gaze, Kabuto slowly walked down the tower toward the Seireitei’s street. He walked very slowly and steadily.

This person who had almost caused a civil war in Soul Society…

From his back, he really was an ordinary person.

Of course, looking at it from the front, Kabuto was just an ordinary person. The only difference might be that he wears his own artificial body that he made.

“Lord Kabuto!”

Just as Kabuto wanted to continue forward, a group of Shinigami stopped him. The old man in the lead asked in a deep voice, “Lord Kabuto, where are you going?”

“Lord Chojiro…”

Kabuto’s eyes flashed slightly.

Because the person who stopped him from leaving was the lieutenant of the 1st Division, Sasakibe Chojiro, and also the good friend of Captain Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!

Kabuto pushed his glasses and said with a smile, “I want to go to the orphanage in Rukongai to see those little guys… can’t I?”

“Of course.”

Chojiro nodded but still stood in front of Kabuto and continued in a deep voice, “But it seems that Lord Uehara Naraku and his two Death Servants are going to pass through this area… For his safety, this area needs to be temporarily guarded.”

“…”

Kabuto was silent for a while. Suddenly, he smiled and nodded, “Alright, I understand. Then I will stay here for a while longer.”

These guys…

Were they worried he would harm Uehara Naraku before staying in the Soul King Palace?

Kabuto looked at the group of alert Shinigami. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips’ smile gradually deepened. What a group of complete idiots…

Step, step, step…

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer.

Under the gaze of a group of Shinigami, Uehara led his two Death Servants and slowly walked through the street. When they passed Kabuto and the 1st Division, Uehara slowly stopped.

Uehara turned around and looked at Kabuto, Chojiro, and others. He slowly tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, revealing a warm sunny smile.

“Good afternoon, seniors.”

“…”

The group of Shinigami was at a loss for what to do.

Because it was rare to see such a polite fellow in Soul Society!

“This afternoon was indeed very good… Lord Naraku.”

Kabuto couldn’t help but chuckle. He slowly looked at Uehara and revealed a similarly warm smile as response to Uehara.

Obviously, Kabuto was also smiling kindly…

However, Chojiro was a little nervous in his heart. He could not help but raise Kabuto’s danger. How could this guy be gentle with the Uehara clan?

“Then I will go first.”

Uehara looked at Kabuto and showed a sincere look on his face, “If there is a chance, I hope that Lord Kabuto can take the time to visit our clan and eliminate the unhappiness between us in the past…”

This attitude…

This young head’s attitude was really very low.

However, his sincere invitation did not receive the response he wanted.

“That’s really a pity, Lord Naraku…”

Kabuto held onto his glasses frame, and a light flashed on the lens, “Tomorrow, I will go to a hidden place to practice for a long time… We probably won’t have the chance to meet again in the future.”

“Is that so?”

There was a little regret on Uehara’s face. He slowly sighed and nodded, “Then, I will take my leave first.”

After that.

Uehara nodded to Chojiro and 1st Division Shinigami, even one by one, and then slowly left with Itachi and Obito.

“What a polite little guy!”

Chojiro looked at Uehara’s back and could not help but praise in a low voice, “Except for the kindness that the little guy shouldn’t have too much, in every other aspect, he seems to be an impeccable genius Shinigami…”

“Yes, I think so too.”

Kabuto narrowed his eyes and nodded with a smile.
