Soul Society.
Seireitei, Medical Station.
Due to the activity and movements of the Arrancar Army, most of the Shinigami stationed in the Human World was surrounded by Arrancar. They dragged their heavily injured bodies back to Soul Society.
Among them, most of Shinigami, who was stationed in Human World, belonged to the 10th division.
As the current captain of the 10th division, Shiba Isshin, when he found that his own division was heavenly injured, he immediately ordered Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku to report to the top about the situation and rushed to Human World alone to help his other subordinates.
The news of an Arrancar Army active in the Human World caused a great uproar in the entire Seireitei. This situation can be said to be extremely dangerous. If the entire Human World was occupied by Hollow, it might be reduced to hell!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni immediately gathered all the captains of Gotei 13, and the group tried to find a way to deal with this sudden threat.
No matter which captain, their faces were not good. Obviously, they were very clear that those Arrancar who was active in Human World were a huge threat to Soul Society. Who knew if that group would attack Soul Society after occupying Human World...
No...
They could not allow those Hollows to occupy Human World at all!
The 11th Division Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, was a battle maniac. His scarred face showed a ferocious smile and said coldly, "Speaking of which, this situation seems to have no other way than fighting!"
As a guy who likes to fight, Kenpachi Zaraki led the entire 11th division like a wolf and tiger. When he got the news that there was a powerful enemy in the Human World, the first thought of the 11th division was to directly rush to the Human World as the vanguard!
"Isn't it better to find out the source of the enemy before that?"
The 4th Division Captain, Unohana Retsu, slowly shook her head and looked in the direction of Kyoraku Shunsui, "By the way, did the intelligence department of the 8th division get any corresponding information?"
The other Shinigami captains also couldn't help looking at Kyoraku Shunsui.
After all, they still didn't know the origin of the Arrancar Army that was active in the Human World. At least they had to find out the information of the enemy first, so as to avoid losses as much as possible.
The 8th Division Captain, Kyoraku Shunsui, noticed that the scene suddenly quieted down, and a group of people looked at him. He slowly shook his head and said, "Ah? Information? There is indeed nothing. Those guys seem to have appeared out of thin air..."
"How could there be enemies appearing out of thin air..."
"Regardless of whether they are from Hueco Mundo or Human World, this organization with many people must have existed for a long time. It is absolutely impossible not to show a trace..."
"At present, the only news might be traced back to the previous assassination. Perhaps the assassin is not Hollowfied Shinigami, but the so-called Arrancar in human form."
"That is to say..."
Everyone's eyes fell on the two people from the 5th division.
Just as Sosuke Aizen had recovered from his injury, he participated in the meeting with Uehara Naraku and got the news of the Arrancar Army's action.
For the action of the Arrancar Army, Sosuke Aizen did not care. His heart did not care much about it and handed everything to Orochimaru, Ulquiorra, and others to deal with.
There was a saying...
Although this action had caused a lot of trouble, it had also aroused Soul Society's vigilance. In the future, it could make him more high-profile when he defected to Soul Society.
Ever since Shihoin Yoruichi, Hirako Shinji, and the other Visored member had been caught and brought into Soul Society, Sosuke Aizen had already realized that he would be in trouble sooner or later.
It was better to use this to get away.
For the time being, Sosuke Aizen had yet to ask Black Zetsu. He also didn't know how far their plan had progressed. If the Arrancar Army of over a hundred members invaded the Human World, it shouldn't hinder them from capturing Urahara Kisuke, right?
However, at this time, Sosuke Aizen still needed to hide for a period of time. At the very least, he needed to determine which step his two subordinates, Black Zetsu and Ulquiorra, were planning...
When the group of people's gazes fell on Sosuke Aizen and Uehara Naraku, Sosuke Aizen slowly clenched his fist and covered his mouth. He coughed lightly and said, "Speaking of which, the person who attacked me and Naraku the last time should be the same as Hollow who attacked the Human World. An Arrancar in human form, who also belonged to a mutated Hollow. I just don't know who ordered them..."
Sosuke Aizen slowly raised his head and revealed a solemn expression under his scattered hair, "Without a doubt, they should be enemies that want to stir up chaos in Soul Society, because their original goal was to assassinate Naraku..."
Speaking up to this point, Sosuke Aizen glanced at Uehara Naraku and continued softly, "Although Naraku has never liked to rely on his identity to act, his identity is indeed related to Seireitei's safety..."
"Captain..."
There was a hint of disappointment on Uehara Naraku's face.
It could be seen that Uehara Naraku indeed did not like his identity, and he had always disliked relying on his identity as the head of a wealthy family.
Even if Sosuke Aizen only mentioned this sentence slightly, it made the young family head feel a little disappointed, as if everything he had now was because of his identity.
"..."
All the captains of Gotei 13 nodded their heads slightly.
What Sosuke Aizen said was indeed reasonable. If the person who attacked them back then was also an Arrancar in human form, then he must also be the mortal enemy of Soul Society!
Because that guy or the person behind that guy tried to assassinate the head of the Uehara clan. This was obviously provoking the conflict between Uehara Clan and Seireitei, wanting to overturn or even destroy Soul Society!
"Then there is nothing to say..."
The 9th Division Captain, Tosen Kaname, followed Aizen's meaning and continued in a deep voice, "If those people are our enemies... then we must purify all the evil!"
"I also think so..."
Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly. He chuckled and continued, "It just so happens that we haven't experienced a proper battle for a long time..."
"That is true..."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni closed his eyes and nodded slowly. He then said in a deep voice, "Then from this moment on, please prepare for battle! This war to recapture Human World, please make a good plan!"
After all, they were Shinigami!
If Shinigami and Arrancar fought in the Human World, it was hard to say whether they would destroy the Human World's space. Even if they just moved their hands and feet, or even some captain Bankai, it was possible to destroy a city or area of the Human World...
Therefore, the best way for them was to lure the Arrancar into an open area or Soul Society. This way, a Shinigami would not be afraid to directly use his full strength.
Before that...
Troops must be dispatched!
The entire Soul Society and Seireitei were unprecedentedly nervous. The elites Shinigami of each division were transferred back to Seireitei because they needed to deal with hundreds of Arrancar this time!
As for fighting an Arrancar...
They all must have a power of a captain-level Shinigami to deal with them!
This also meant that each division could only send their officer, and they must be an officer with strong combat ability. All of them were the elites of the entire Gotei 13!
Just as Gotei 13 was gathering the elites with great enthusiasm...
Urahara Kisuke and Tsukabishi Tessai, who were still active in Hueco Mundo, finally sneaked into Orochimaru's experimental base under Las Noches with the help of White Zetsu.
The size of this experimental base was far beyond their imagination.
Even Urahara Kisuke was somewhat amazed. Even when he used to be the captain of the 12th division, he had never had such a luxurious base...
All kinds of sleeping Menos...
All kinds of Zanpakuto...
Strange experimental equipment...
And a reference room that was as spacious as a warehouse was filled with bookshelves!
Even the names written on those books, Urahara Kisuke had only heard of them from his Teacher Kabuto, but had never seen them before!
Many of them were research and development experiments of forbidden techniques...
If he could stay in this reference room for a year, no, it could be said that in just a day, Urahara Kisuke would feel that his gains would be comparable to his gains from the past hundred years!
This was once the experimental base of the legendary Orochimaru. All of this was the experimental data left behind by Orochimaru. To be blunt, this was enough to promote the progress of Soul Society's technique!
Especially most of them were forbidden techniques...
Those forbidden techniques only appeared in the rumors!
For example, the artificial human technology that Urahara Kisuke was most interested in.
This technology was to transplant a powerful soul into a clone to create a human being who was no different from ordinary people and even retains complete spiritual power...
Such humans could completely hide in the Human World and live like real humans. They could even go one step further...
This could already be said to have revived the dead.
This technology had been coveted by Urahara Kisuke for a long time.
For so many years, in order to hide his actions in the Human World, Urahara Kisuke had been constantly developing gigai technology. It was just that it would lose spiritual power when the soul was transplanted, and Kisuke Urahara had actually touched the clue. Only a little inspiration or guidance could greatly speed up his experiment's progress!
Unfortunately...
They had no time to continue staying here.
This was Las Noches' underground, and they could be discovered by an Arrancar who was patrolling here at any time. At that time, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape.
"There should be no problem with just getting a little bit of data, right?"
Urahara Kisuke scratched his head. When he slowly reached out to pick up a piece of data, his eyes saw another line of words!
Compared to artificial human technology...
The forbidden technique marked in that line of words made Urahara Kisuke even more excited!
The most perfect gigai technology in the world, the foundation of the Uehara clan in Soul Society, the legendary Impure World Reincarnation!
If he could get Impure World Reincarnation...
He could even stop exploring and searching for evidence. As long as he could crack the Impure World Reincarnation's secret, he could directly let the Uehara clan release his friends!
Of course...
This plan was a bit dangerous.
Even if he did not carry out such a dangerous plan, just looking at Impure World Reincarnation would make Urahara Kisuke satisfied. In other words, there is no researcher in the Soul Society who would not be surprised by this forbidden technique!
There was no doubt...
This may be the highest secret text in the entire Soul Society!
Just as Urahara Kisuke was about to pick up the Impure World Reincarnation, a cold voice stopped him, "I heard that you are Kabuto's student?"
"Who is it!"
Tsukabishi Tessai and Urahara Kisuke abruptly turned their heads away!
A pale, slender figure stood at the door of the laboratory. A long tongue slowly stuck out from his mouth and licked his lips...
Orochimaru!
The legendary Orochimaru!
Urahara Kisuke didn't need to ask at all, because every researcher once had a special longing for Orochimaru, and they definitely wouldn't get Orochimaru's appearance wrong!
"Hehehe, shouldn't you salute me at this time?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, a sinister smile on his face, "Didn't your Teacher Kabuto, tell you... who is his teacher?"
"..."
Urahara Kisuke fell silent.
It was obvious that Orochimaru did not say this out of thin air.
At this time, Orochimaru mentioned Kabuto, which meant that he and Kabuto indeed had a very close relationship, and they were even in a teacher-student relationship.
Perhaps this also proved why Kabuto had researched Impure World Reincarnation, or maybe it was the information he had obtained from Orochimaru back then?
"Lord Orochimaru."
Urahara Kisuke took a deep breath and waved his hand to block Tsukabishi Tessai behind him. He said in a deep voice, "Lord... do you know me?"
"Although I am hiding here, I have always been paying attention to Soul Society..."
Orochimaru's laughter became more and more horrifying, even making people shiver when they heard it, "A smart and talented child like you can help me take revenge, or become my best wife. Of course, I won't let you go. Unfortunately, Kabuto seems to like you very much, and he took the first step to protect you..."
"Teacher Kabuto..."
A touch of surprise flashed across Urahara Kisuke's face.
At this moment, Kisuke's eyes suddenly changed. He remembered Kabuto's nurturing care for him and had always protected him. The two of them were almost like father and son.
Now listening to Orochimaru's words...
It seemed that Kabuto had done more for him than he knew.
According to Urahara Kisuke's own analysis, he guessed that Orochimaru might be a traitor. Now it seemed that besides betraying the Uehara clan, Orochimaru also seemed to want to take revenge on the Uehara clan.
Just as Urahara Kisuke wanted to try to ask for information, Orochimaru's laughter suddenly became shrill, as if there was endless resentment, "I almost forgot... You little brat also betrayed Kabuto... It seems that the teacher and student in our line really have the same character... All of them betrayed the teachings of their teachers..."
