The information that Ichimaru Gin brought up was very useful.
When Sosuke Aizen and Ichimaru Gin separated, Sosuke Aizen was still thinking about the story that Ichimaru Gin had told him. There seemed to be more than one person in this world who tried to create Hogyoku.
According to the information that Sosuke Aizen knew, Kabuto had not lived for a long time, but he had broken through the boundaries of Shinigami's strength. Perhaps there was the use of White Zetsu's Equipment in it.
Sosuke Aizen thought about Black Zetsu he had created when he created Hogyoku and frowned slightly. Maybe he could wait for Black Zetsu to finish the task and come back then he could try to let Black Zetsu like Hogyoku fuse him into his body...
After all...
Black Zetsu had devoured many souls and Hollow. Its spiritual power was also quite strong. Perhaps it could give him a higher foundation.
Black Zetsu was the product that he had gotten when he created the Hogyoku...
Right now, there was a complete Hogyoku in his body.
Black Zetsu's power and Hogyoku's power complemented each other. In addition, he had Shinigami's spiritual power in his body, so perhaps it was another possibility to break through the limit.
As Sosuke Aizen pondered, he slowly walked into Orochimaru's laboratory. Even he was a little overwhelmed by this laboratory.
Orochimaru was still tirelessly studying the upper limit of Hollow's strength. He had always tried to use quantity to break through the quality. Just this laboratory alone had one Vasto Lorde-class Menos and two Adjuchas-class Menos.
These Menos, who were comparable to a Shinigami captain in the outside world, were only experimental subjects of Orochimaru's experiment.
"What a rare guest..."
Orochimaru put down the experimental apparatus in his hand, took off his gloves, and invited Sosuke Aizen to sit down. He chuckled and said, "Hehehehe... shouldn't you be studying Hogyoku in your own laboratory at this time?"
"There is something I want to ask Mr. Orochimaru."
Sosuke Aizen did not sit down. He just stood at the door and looked at Orochimaru. He then said softly, "How much does Mr. Orochimaru know about Uehara Naraku?"
"The most talented Shinigami in the world."
Orochimaru spread out his palm and revealed a sinister smile, "Since he was twelve years old, I began to covet his body... As long as I can obtain his body, I will become the god of all worlds!"
This was not a lie!
When Orochimaru betrayed Akatsuki, he was hunted down by Uehara Naraku. That was the first time he felt humiliated. From then on, Orochimaru always paid attention to Uehara Naraku.
Taijutsu, senjutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, chakra...
There were almost no shortcomings on Uehara Naraku's body.
Moreover, Uehara Naraku had also traveled to another world. In that world, in which the rule of the Akatsuki Organization was established like a god. It was also in that world that Kabuto obtained some magical abilities and obtained power that completely surpassed Orochimaru.
As for Shinigami's world, Uehara Naraku didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and it didn't take long for him to show his powerful talent, breaking through the Shinigami boundaries.
That little brat...
It was as if there had never been a boundary!
Sosuke Aizen did not know all of this. Orochimaru was just thinking about it, but the atmosphere in the laboratory gradually became a little heavy.
Until a while later.
Sosuke Aizen suddenly raised his head, looked at Orochimaru, and said, "Then... does Mr. Orochimaru know that Naraku's strength has already surpassed Uchiha Madara?"
"Hehehehe..."
There was no surprise on Orochimaru's face. He only grinned and slowly shook his head. Then, he suddenly nodded, "This kind of thing... isn't it destined to happen? Back then, I reminded you..."
"Actually, Naraku is hiding his strength."
Sosuke Aizen interrupted Orochimaru.
"Hahahahaha!"
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth and said as if he was laughing loudly, "It's really interesting... Aizen...
Do you think that there will be any good people in the Uehara clan? The Uehara clan... Will there be any naive people? I have long suspected that little brat!"
"Maybe the naive one is me."
Sosuke Aizen shook his head lightly and continued, "When life and death in the world have no meaning, there is no boundary between good and evil."
"Yes."
Orochimaru agreed with Sosuke Aizen very much, but he said again, "But you don't have to worry too much... Even if that little brat, Uehara Naraku, becomes a god, you can evolve into another dimension after obtaining the complete Hogyoku."
When he said this, Orochimaru suddenly smiled and said, "Now that you have the completeHogyoku, we can't delay any longer, right? When can I start my revenge?"
"Soon."
Sosuke Aizen looked at Orochimaru and said softly, "Mr. Orochimaru, please start preparing... After I carry out my last experiment, prepare for the war!"
As the last insurance and the last boost in strength, Sosuke Aizen wanted to wait for Black Zetsu to return and absorb Black Zetsu into his body.
This world...
In the end, it was the world where strength decide everything.
While Sosuke Aizen was actively leading the preparations for battle, he secretly sent Black Zetsu to instigate the relationship between the Uehara clan and Seireitei. He was waiting for the last opportunity.
Unfortunately, Black Zetsu brought him some bad news.
Originally, Sosuke Aizen wanted to plan for a period of time, but a sudden change forced Sosuke Aizen to give up the idea of watching from the sidelines!
Kabuto, who was in Soul King Palace, has sent the news...
They must overthrow Soul King's rule as soon as possible!
Because several members of Zero Division want to close Soul King Palace permanently, this group of guys seem to have no regard for the stormy Soul Society, they only care about Soul King's safety!
Once Soul King Palace completely closes...
No one knows if there was still a way to open the Soul King Palace's sealed space!
Sosuke Aizen secretly wanted to tell this news to the Uehara clan, hoping that the Uehara clan could bring him a pleasant surprise However, the Uehara clan suddenly launched a new crusade against Hueco Mundo!
It was very difficult for Seireitei to refuse the Uehara clan's request.
As for the group of idiots from Central 46, after learning a part of the news about the Hogyoku from Urahara Kisuke, they also vowed to take back Hogyoku!
That was Hogyoku...
It absolutely could not fall into the Uehara clan's hands!
In a sense, the priority of this Hogyoku might be higher than the secret art of the Uehara Clan, Impure World Reincarnation!
Inside Uehara City.
Underground thrones.
"Captain Aizen is still so cautious..."
Uehara Naraku sat on the throne and reached out to hold his cheek. He sighed softly, "If I hadn't specially asked Kabuto to convey the news about the Soul King Palace to him, maybe he would have continued to endure in Hueco Mundo...
He had clearly become the master of Hueco Mundo and even obtained the complete Hogyoku. Why did he still like to play some tricks?"
It was impossible to hide the matter of Hueco Mundo from Uehara Naraku.
After all, all of Sosuke Aizen's information channels were controlled by Uehara Naraku.
The news that Sosuke Aizen had sent Black Zetsu to instigate the Uehara clan and Seireitei's higher-ups had already spread. This was really a headache.
Sosuke Aizen...
A person who can endure for a hundred years!
If they don't force Sosuke Aizen, maybe when Kurosaki Ichigo got sick and dies naturally, Sosuke Aizen will start to act...
"You have no right to say that he is cautious..."
Tobirama, who was standing under the throne, couldn't help but complain.
Tobirama really didn't know how to evaluate Uehara Naraku. Even if Uehara Naraku was reckless, this guy would still hide his real strength; if Uehara Naraku decided to be cautious, this guy would even give up a strange tool like Hogyoku...
"Aren't you worried that there will be a problem with Hogyoku?"
"There is no need to worry."
Uehara Naraku curled the corners of his mouth, and the smile under the shadow was a little strange, "Do you think that Captain Aizen's opponent is me? His real opponent has always been the little guy he cultivated himself..."
"Kurosaki Ichigo?"
Tobirama frowned and said, "No matter how you look at it, that little guy is not enough to rival Sosuke Aizen at this time, right? Even if Sosuke Aizen does not have the Hogyoku, he is not someone he can contend against..."
"Don't underestimate him..."
Uehara Naraku shook his head and couldn't help but chuckle, "When saving the world, Kurosaki Ichigo, like Naruto, can erupt quite powerfully..."
"..."
Tobirama couldn't help but want to complain again.
Even if that guy could burst out with great power, could he save the world from your hands?
"Wait..."
After thinking for a moment, Tobirama suddenly said, "In that case... you have been secretly nurturing Sosuke Aizen all this time... just to make him a nourishment for Kurosaki Ichigo?"
This guy...
What the hell was he doing?
Ever since Uehara Naraku received news of Sosuke Aizen, he has been monitoring everything about Sosuke Aizen without batting an eyelid. He helped Sosuke Aizen clean up his traces in the Hollowfied Shinigami Incident and even secretly helped Sosuke Aizen repair his Zanpakuto...
He even gave him an artifact like Hogyoku...
In the end, all that Uehara Naraku did was just to make Sosuke Aizen become the driving force for Kurosaki Ichigo to become stronger?
Tobirama thought that Uehara Naraku had bad taste!
"It's not just that, right?"
Uehara Naraku shook his head and replied with a smile, "In short, let's do it this way first! I want to see who will win this time between the so-called protagonist and the villain... and..."
Uehara Naraku slowly put down his palm, and the smile on his face deepened, "Don't you think it's interesting?
When Captain Aizen thought that he cultivated Kurosaki Ichigo as a test subject to test his strength, he found that he was being used as a nourishment to nurture Kurosaki Ichigo. At that time, his expression would definitely be very interesting, right?"
"You..."
Tobirama's expression was extremely ugly, "Now that Sosuke Aizen knows that your strength has long surpassed Shinigami's limits, he won't be interested in Kurosaki Ichigo anymore, right?"
"He will definitely."
Uehara Naraku closed his hands, and a strong self-confidence flashed in his eyes, "If he really doesn't want to, then I can only be their opponent.
Then I hope their Zanpakuto blades can be sharper, which can be regarded as a little bit of compensation for the fun I lost in wanting to watch a good show..."
"..."
Tobirama was silent.
If he did not have a strong heart, he really could not communicate with Uehara Naraku who revealed his true face. This guy always said something that was not human.
Of course, if he did not have a stronger heart, he could not deal with the disguised Uehara Naraku, because the disguised Uehara Naraku often does not do human affairs...
"There is nothing absolute in this world."
Uehara Naraku gently closed his palm and said calmly, "Between Captain Aizen and Kurosaki Ichigo, who is the strongest nourishment for the other side? Who is the final winner to receive the reward from my hands? It depends on the battle between the two of them."
Uehara Naraku slowly leaned back and leaned against the back of the tall throne. He then whispered, "Let Orochimaru capture Orihime Inoue and lure Kurosaki Ichigo into Hueco Mundo... At least let the current him have the qualifications to enter the chessboard as a chess piece."
This chessboard was made up of Human World, Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, and Soul King Palace. If one was not strong enough, they would not even be qualified to be a chess piece!
The captain-level Shinigami could only serve as a pawn in this game of chess!
And those who could really be used as pawns by Uehara Naraku were all existences that broke through the conventional boundary of Shinigami!
Tobirama was silent for a while and then asked, "What about Madara and Big Brother? Yamamoto Shigekuni has already returned to Seireitei to command. Do you still want them to continue searching for the whereabouts of Yhwach?"
"There is no need."
Uehara Naraku shook his head and continued softly, "Summon them back... Let Kabuto cooperate with them and eliminate the Zero Division members in Soul King Palace..."
Uehara Naraku stretched and slowly said, "This is a big show. If they are absent, they will also feel very regretful!"
"..."
Tobirama was too lazy to complain.
They did not want to participate in this so-called big show at all!
If not for the fact that they were interested in Kurosaki Ichigo and Sosuke Aizen, who had always been favored by Uehara Naraku, Madara and Hashirama would definitely be too lazy to care about this so-called drama!
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
After receiving Uehara Naraku's order, Orochimaru, in the name of getting a precious test subject, secretly sent an Arrancar to capture Orihime Inoue and brought her into Hueco Mundo. He was indeed very interested in Orihime Inoue's power.
In the basement of Las Noches.
Orochimaru looked at the panic-stricken and uneasy Orihime Inoue. He stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. The young girl was so scared that she curled up into a ball and hid in the corner.
Orochimaru captured Orihime Inoue, which naturally attracted Kurosaki Ichigo's attention. This fearless guy picked up his Zanpakuto and broke into Hueco Mundo with the help of White Zetsu, who was under Urahara Kisuke's command!
Las Noches.
In Aizen's secret room.
At this time, Sosuke Aizen had just summoned Black Zetsu and fused with him. He was currently feeling the strengthened body and spiritual power brought by Black Zetsu.
Sosuke Aizen ordered Ulquiorra and Orochimaru's subordinates, Nelliel, to stay behind and guard Las Noches. He personally invited Orochimaru to lead the Arrancar army to Soul Society to welcome this final battle of the century!
