A seam appeared in the sky of Quiet Spirit Court.
A group of Arrancar Hollow hovered in the sky, sneering as they watched the panicked Shinigami fleeing within Quiet Spirit Court. One Cero after another surged out from their hands or mouths!
Low-level Gillian Hollows crowded densely within the space rift, condensing Ceros under the command of their superior Hollows and launching them onto the land of Quiet Spirit Court!
These Hollows ravaged freely here, unleashing their Cero Spiritual Pressure within the stronghold of their archenemy, the Shinigami!
Apart from the Hollows, some modified Hollows also sneered as they fought with the Shinigami inside Quiet Spirit Court, recklessly displaying their madness!
The captains of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads emerged from the ruins in disarray, a flash of anger in each captain's eyes as the sound of Zanpakuto being drawn reverberated!
"Let it be!"
Aizen Sousuke's voice reached everyone's ears as his body slowly floated upward, looking down coldly at the chaotic Quiet Spirit Court. He spoke calmly, "From this moment onward, let this world feel that a god exists above…"
Under the gaze of all the captains, Aizen Sousuke and Ichimaru Gin's bodies slowly floated into the air. What was terrifying was that Aizen Sousuke's hand also held Uehara Naraku's shoulder; no one knew when he had seized this young Patriarch!
Just then, a time-space vortex appeared behind Aizen Sousuke, a hand reaching to grab the recently defected Captain of Squad 5!
Aizen Sousuke vanished from the spot with Uehara Naraku using Shunpo, his voice carrying newfound confidence: "Mr. Obito, the speed at which you emerge from the space is too slow; this weakness is too apparent for us…"
"Humph!"
Uchiha Obito snorted coldly, appearing in the air wearing a tiger-patterned mask, alongside Uchiha Itachi, who had been acting with him.
As the two officers responsible for protecting Uehara Naraku, they would never be absent in any scenario where Uehara Naraku appeared!
Yet, none would have expected that Aizen Sousuke would have the audacity to abduct Uehara Naraku at such a moment!
Even Uehara Naraku himself...
Never thought Aizen Sousuke would want to defect with him!
This event...
Sure is stimulating!
The Deadguard Seat Officers of the Uehara Race, whether Senju Tobirama or Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi, were momentarily at a loss about whether this was Uehara Naraku's arrangement or if Aizen Sousuke had lost his mind...
Crazy, huh?
Dare to kidnap a puppet master?
Compared to these Deadguard Seat Officers of the Thirteen Deadguard, the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads were more shocked and infuriated by Aizen Sousuke's actions. A flash of anger crossed Yamamoto Shigekuni's face; at this moment, he seemed more concerned as if he were Uehara Naraku's elder!
"Release Lord Naraku."
Yamamoto Shigekuni's cane gradually dissipated, revealing the true form of his Zanpakuto, claimed to be the strongest Zanpakuto in the history of the Soul Society…
Ryujin Jakka!
With his Zanpakuto resting in hand, Yamamoto Shigekuni coldly gazed at Aizen Sousuke in the sky, his anger misderepressed: "If you release Lord Naraku now, I can mitigate the guilt for sparking this chaos!"
Uehara Naraku, the first ever in thousands of years from the Uehara Race to join the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads, is the only Patriarch advocating for Uehara Race's integration into Soul Society!
Unreservedly, he is the hope for stability and peace in Soul Society.
Yamamoto Shigekuni harbors high expectations for the stability of Soul Society, hoping this Patriarch of the Uehara Race will guide the Uehara Race into the aristocratic system of Quiet Spirit Court and the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads.
Should Vice Captain of Squad 5, Uehara Naraku, meet any harm in Aizen Sousuke's grasp, Yamamoto Shigekuni has no doubt that henceforth the Uehara Race will be unwilling to engage with the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads…
Moreover…
The Uehara Race might turn hostile!
Given that the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads couldn't protect even the Patriarch of the Uehara Race and let Uehara Naraku fall into danger, any member of the Uehara Race would doubt the capability of Guardian Court Thirteen Squads, right?
Perhaps the only good news is…
The Uehara Race's Patriarchs seem always to be singular in line.
Of course, such matters can never be confirmed. Regardless, that massive noble clan resides within Quiet Spirit Court, slightly stirring things could spark turmoil, who knows if there are branches or kin.
Yamamoto Shigekuni's thoughts never escaped Aizen Sousuke's notice.
Or rather, Yamamoto Shigekuni never cared to conceal his thoughts, merely using strategic foresight to gently lure Uehara Race into Quiet Spirit Court.
"Why should I release Naraku?"
Aizen Sousuke's smile persisted at his lips, pushing his glasses lightly, calmly continuing: "Do you think he would choose to indulge in the lies of this world, or would he prefer to witness the true side of the world?"
Aizen Sousuke's gaze fell upon Uehara Naraku by his side, chuckling as he continued: "Naraku, are you willing to tell me your answer?"
"..."
Uehara Naraku remained silent.
At this moment, Uehara faintly sensed a possible issue with his constitution.
Why does he always attract the attention of villains? Why do these villains consistently wish to make him one of their own?
