Chapter 610 - Uehara Naraku's Identity
As long as you could kill Uehara Naraku, he would be able to stir up great turmoil in Soul Society. This matter was definitely not a lie but something that every Shinigami knew.
Because Uehara Naraku’s identity was really too special.
About thousands of years ago, Soul Society’s Shinigami Organization was still in its infancy, and many Shinigami didn’t even know how to operate in Human World. It was until a Shinigami named Orochimaru developed a forbidden technique called Impure World Reincarnation, which can create a body for the Shinigami to be able to move in Human World.
That kind of body…
It would not get old; it would not get injured; it would not feel hungry. It could be said to be the most perfect body.
Even after the appearance of the gigai(Faux Body) technology, it was not enough to compare with Impure World Reincarnation’s perfect body.
However, Orochimaru chose to transfer this kind of forbidden technique to a close friend surnamed Uehara; then, he mysteriously disappeared from Soul Society. Many people speculated that Orochimaru might have joined the legendary Zero Division.
After all…
The creation of Impure World Reincarnation was indeed possible for the Spirit King to allow him to join Zero Division!
Some people speculated that Uehara might have secretly harmed Orochimaru.
Anyway, no matter how they guessed, Orochimaru had disappeared from Soul Society.
As for Orochimaru’s good friend, Uehara, he then relies on the Impure World Reincarnation’s ability to create a human body and begins to recruit Shinigami to become his subordinate wantonly.
Many Shinigami, who had obtained a body through Impure World Reincarnation, slowly became subsidiary members of Uehara’s clan.
From then on, a super wealthy and powerful clan named Uehara Clan was born in the Soul Society!
Perhaps to keep the secrets, the head of the Uehara clan has only one heir, and they never show up in front of people. It was difficult for anyone to see them.
But even so…
Uehara clan relied on more and more loyal subordinates to become the only powerful clan in the history of Soul Society!
Even the thousand-year-old nobles such as Kuchiki and Shihoin were far inferior, and even Seireitei Gotei 13 dared not ignore the Uehara clan’s power!
No…
On a more serious note…
It should be that the Uehara clan and Gotei 13 could stand up to each other!
Moreover, in the past thousands of years, many members of the Uehara clan have joined Gotei 13.
Additionally, the Uehara clan also had thousands of Shinigami working for them. The clan also had a 13th Death Servant who was said to be on par with Gotei 13’s captains!
However, there were also many contradictions…
Even with the emergence of gigai technology, it still cannot meet the standard of Impure World Reincarnation.
Adding to the oppressive power of the Uehara clan, it slowly caused the dissatisfaction of most of the Shinigami who did not want to join the Uehara clan, leading to deeper and deeper conflicts between them.
Until hundreds of years ago…
A young man named Yakushi Kabuto deciphered the Impure World Reincarnation.
From then on, Soul Society’s situation finally began to ease up. But the Uehara clan’s status was impacted because of this. Even though their status was still respected, they would never return to the previous supremacy.
Unless the Uehara clan killed Kabuto…
They would once again monopolize Impure World Reincarnation in their own hands!
If it was the previous head of the Uehara Clan, it was indeed very likely that he would kill Kabuto because Kabuto had expressed his fear toward the previous head of the Uehara Clan more than once…
Maybe if the previous head of the Uehara clan had brazenly started a civil war in the Soul Society in order to kill Kabuto, the enemy who changed their clan status, the result was really hard to say.
Many of Soul Society’s Shinigami had also been depressed about this problem.
If Soul Society wanted to clean up the Uehara Clan, it meant that Soul Society’s Shinigami would definitely suffer a great loss. If they did not clean up the Uehara Clan, the Uehara Clan would continue to do big after killing Kabuto…
Even Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Captain-Commander of the whole Gotei 13, does not want any conflict between the Uehara clan and Gotei 13. He hopes both sides can restrain themselves and live in peace.
Even if it is the highest council in the Soul Society, like the Central 46 or even the legendary Zero Division, most people don’t want to start a civil war rashly.
Fortunately…
A young man named Uehara Naraku was appointed as the head of the family.
This young head seemed to have been spoiled too much since he was young. He did not pursue Kabuto for cracking the Impure World Reincarnation and took the initiative to let the Uehara clan integrate into the Soul Society.
Even…
Uehara Naraku himself also entered the Spiritual Arts Academy to study.
This kind of behavior was equivalent to a friendly signal to Soul Society’s political world. Central 46 and Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto naturally accepted all of them and took the initiative to open up various permissions for Uehara Naraku.
No matter if it was any spiritual training secret book…
Uehara Naraku can directly read it in the school.
Even though Uehara Naraku already has his own teacher, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto was still willing to teach Uehara Naraku in person from time to time.
And…
Uehara Naraku was supposed to be promoted to captain directly after graduation.
As the head of a wealthy clan, Uehara Naraku’s strength was absolutely sufficient.
Unfortunately, his personality was too naive and kind. To put it bluntly, his personality was too cowardly. It was even difficult for him to kill a monster like Hallow.
This makes Central 46 and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni a little melancholy…
Obviously, they wanted Uehara Naraku to be able to integrate with Soul Society more than anyone, but this Uehara Naraku was a bit too weak to support the wall…
It would be the best outcome if Uehara Naraku were allowed to enter the legendary Zero Division. But unfortunately, his age was too young, and there were people more suitable than him to join Zero Division.
Now, they could only wait for the time to pass…
At the very least, the Uehara clan had already changed.
This was a good thing for all of Soul Society and Shinigami. At the very least, they no longer had to worry about the issue of a civil war coming.
Perhaps the Uehara clan would slowly decline until it slowly degenerated into nobles like the Kuchiki, Shihoin, and other nobles thousands of years later…
Yes, you got it right.
Even if the strength of the Uehara clan continues to shrink in the future, they will only degenerate into upper-class nobles in the Soul Society. You can see how outrageous this family was!
However…
At this point in time, the Uehara clan would still be looked up to by others.
Even if Kabuto had already deciphered the Impure World Reincarnation, it would not delay the Uehara clan from using Impure World Reincarnation’s ability to recruit Shinigami, who was willing to become a subsidiary member of the Uehara clan.
Of course…
As an equal price, when Kabuto deciphers the Impure World Reincarnation under the intervention of Soul Society, he made an agreement with the Uehara clan. He would never reveal the Impure World Reincarnation’s secret to anyone.
It seemed that the Uehara clan was not at a disadvantage.
The Uehara clan only needed to endure for a period of time. After Kabuto died, they could continue to maintain their supreme position in Soul Society using the Impure World Reincarnation…
But!
Only certain upper-level captains know!
The Uehara clan must have been tricked!
Because hundreds of years ago, after Kabuto deciphered the Impure World Reincarnation, he was secretly invited to join the legendary Zero Division. As long as he got the power of Soul King, Kabuto would get an immortal body!
However, Kabuto’s invitation to join Zero Division has always been an absolute secret. Kabuto did not accept the power of Spirit King to avoid arousing the vigilance of the Uehara clan.
But with the death of the previous head of the Uehara Clan and the succession of Uehara Naraku, the cowardly head of the clan, Kabuto could now accept the power of Spirit King and achieve immortality!
This also meant that…
Impure World Reincarnation would never be exclusive to Uehara Clan!
“This world is like a complicated chess game…”
Uehara Naraku walked on the streets of Rukongai with a warm smile on his face. He then said something that had nothing to do with his cowardly character, “It’s really strange. Why does everyone think that they can control everything…”
“…”
Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito of the 13th Death Servants were silent.
Was this Uehara Naraku not ashamed to say those words? Why did Soul Society’s higher-ups think that they could control everything? Wasn’t it all thanks to you?
Apart from that fellow, Kabuto…
Perhaps only the 13th Death Servants knew very well that the Uehara Naraku in front of them had never been a good person, and his strength was definitely not as weak as he was now.
Moreover…
His methods had become even more severe than in the past.
Indeed, Uehara Naraku’s methods seem to be more skilled than in the past.
The current Uehara Naraku took advantage of the time difference. He only uses the Impure World Reincarnation Technique and a group of dead souls. From nothing, he established a wealthy clan that could stir up the entire Soul Society!
“Speaking of which…”
Uehara stopped in his tracks and glanced at Itachi, “How was the situation on Hueco Mundo’s side when I was taking the graduation exam in the Human World today?”
“Someone wanted to kill you.”
Itachi slightly furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, “It’s just that they are using some low-level means. They won’t pose any threat at all…”
In fact, someone sent seventeen Menos Grande, but in Itachi’s view, it was indeed just a low-level means.
Moreover, before the enemy sent out these Menos Grande to attack Uehara, Hueco Mundo had already sent the news to them.
“And…”
Itachi’s eyes gradually revealed a tinge of red. He continued softly, “Today, the Captain of 5th Division, Sosuke Aizen, seems to want to use illusion on you…”
“Is that so?”
Uehara nodded slowly and chuckled, “Then I’m looking forward to his Kyouka Suigetsu… You guys should hope that he won’t be able to control me. Illusion has always been the ability I’m not good at!”
“…”
Itachi and Obito did not want to speak.
Even if Uehara was not good at using illusions, just his Rinnegan alone was enough to let him see through all illusions.
Moreover, the reason why Uehara was not good at using illusions…
Because he could directly control others in reality, he simply did not need an illusion!
Just when Uehara and others walked to the door of Seireitei, the door of Seireitei slowly opened, and a group of Shinigami wearing Shinigami uniforms came out. Each Shinigami involuntarily slowed down their footsteps.
This team of Shinigami was the 10th Division going out to carry out a mission.
The leader was none other than Kurosaki Isshin, the captain of the 10th Division. No, he should be called Shiba Isshin or a Shinigami with a very hearty personality.
“Yo, isn’t this little Naraku?”
“Captain!”
Standing beside Shiba Isshin, his lieutenant Matsumoto Rangiku couldn’t help frowning and remind in a low voice, “You should call him Lord Naraku…”
To be honest…
Matsumoto Rangiku did not like Uehara Naraku.
Because Matsumoto Rangiku grew up in Kabuto’s orphanage like Ichimaru Gin, she admired her own dean very much. She also knew the opposite relationship between Kabuto and Uehara Naraku.
Matsumoto Rangiku naturally would not like Kabuto’s enemy.
It was just that the Uehara clan’s status was respected, and if they were a little too rude, they would arouse the hostility of a group of Shinigami, and Rangiku didn’t want his captain to get into any trouble.
The most important thing was…
Dean Kabuto and Gin had both reminded Rangiku!
When facing Uehara Naraku, no matter the situation, she must not be rude to Uehara Naraku!
According to Gin’s explanation, the Uehara clan’s power was strong. Children from orphanages should never offend the Uehara clan in any place to avoid provoking the Uehara clan to attack Dean Kabuto…
It had to be said that…
When Gin explained in this way, Rangiku, who respected Kabuto, immediately remembered it in her heart.
“It doesn’t matter…”
Uehara glanced at Rangiku and whispered to comfort her emotions, “Actually, I don’t like these etiquettes. I am just an ordinary academy student now…”
