It should be...
Just a little bit, right?
Now, Uehara Naraku doesn't do bad things anymore!
To someone like Uzumaki Kushina, who hasn't yet experienced the fear of being dominated by Uehara Naraku, it seems that their family has actually benefited from Uehara Naraku.
At least their family is doing well now.
Also being a mother, Uzumaki Kushina gets along well with Kurosaki Masaki. She doesn't want the friend she made in recent years to fall into the abyss due to ignorance.
"Be patient!"
Uzumaki Kushina stepped forward and hugged Kurosaki Masaki, gently advising her by her ear, "Trust your son, he's going to do well... Learn to trust your son. I've always believed in Naruto, and I believe little Ichigo will take care of his sister."
With her arm around Kurosaki Masaki's shoulder, Uzumaki Kushina softly said, "Don't worry… Minato told me that it won't be long before everything here ends."
"And..."
Uzumaki Kushina took a deep breath and gently continued, "Madara-senpai and the First Lord are still searching for unknown enemies... If there wasn't the protection of this city, you'd encounter even more terrifying enemies, unimaginable enemies."
Only this city can protect Kurosaki Masaki.
Only this city supported by Uehara Naraku from behind is the safest place in this world.
"Does this woman still want to escape?"
At this moment, a voice landed in their ears, sounding somewhat cold and merciless: "If she tries to escape again, just kill her and use her flesh and blood to try to trace Yhwach's location..."
Clack, clack, clack...
Clack, clack, clack...
Four figures walked step by step into Uehara City.
Leading the way were two men in red plate armor, the first two officers of the Thirteen Deadguard, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
A bearded man in a brown coat and a six-meter-tall white-bearded giant followed behind them, precisely the third officers in the Thirteen Deadguard, Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate.
They have been chasing Yhwach recently.
A formidable enemy who invaded Soul Society a millennium ago, the ancestor of all Quincy in the world, and the son of the Spirit King, the deity of Soul Society.
In a sense, Yhwach should be the strongest existence besides the Spirit King, his omniscient and omnipotent abilities could almost be deemed a new god.
Omniscient, capable of seeing through everything, even the future.
Omnipotent, capable of nullifying any known ability, even those that could kill Yhwach become ineffective once he is aware of them.
Yhwach can even see all futures, and to a certain extent, modify them to avert those unfavorable to him.
Even if he were to die, he could use this ability to set future abilities and resurrect himself after death.
This kind of enemy...
Gives no clue as to how one might defeat him.
However, to people like Uchiha Madara, they don't care about Yhwach's abilities, because some things can't be changed just by knowing.
Perhaps Yhwach knew his end would be bad, which is why he's been sneakily hiding ever since awakening?
After all, Yhwach has been defeated once a thousand years ago.
A thousand years ago, Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Pirate King Gol D. Roger assisted Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni in a great battle with Yhwach, and after that battle, Yhwach fell into slumber.
No doubt it also left Yhwach confused...
Because when he saw through an enemy's ability, they seemed also capable of seeing through his movements and thoughts, even confronting him with their fists.
Yhwach possesses the Eye of Providence...
Gol D. Roger possesses the Observation Haki, the Heart of Listening to All Things.
The two can be called evenly matched, leaving Yhwach a bit bewildered as to where these rash bearded men, Roger and Newgate, came from!
A thousand years ago, Yhwach was defeated and before falling into hibernation, he remembered deeply Roger and Whitebeard, those two brutes.
And now...
Yhwach is awake, yet has disappeared.
Six years ago, when Yhwach awakened and launched the Auswahlen to recover power, he sensed many of the pieces left by a man named Senju Tobirama among the mixed-blood Quincy, even as he was extracting their power and souls.
Thus...
Yhwach knew he was being watched.
Someone has been laying out a plan for a thousand years just to capture him.
Yhwach was quite eager to meet that mastermind, but his subordinates ended up inadvertently encountering the four pursuers led by Uchiha Madara...
There was nothing to be done...
Senju Tobirama hasn't yet found a way to plant spies around Yhwach, as Yhwach only trusts the souls he controls.
Uehara Naraku isn't concerned about a temporary setback.
Currently, Uehara Naraku's focus is more on Kurosaki Ichigo and Aizen Sousuke, assigning Uchiha Madara and others to continue the pursuit of Yhwach only to avoid this guy causing any trouble for his plans.
There's no rush for this kind of matter.
Once the mainline task is completed and control of the world is taken over, Uehara Naraku could easily resolve the problem of Yhwach.
Uehara Naraku is in no hurry...
But Uchiha Madara is somewhat impatient.
Uchiha Madara dislikes Uehara's leniency towards Kurosaki Masaki and often tries to use her, a pure-blood Quincy, for Kinjutsu experiments, planning on using her flesh and blood to search for the location of her ancestor, Yhwach.
Uchiha Madara's gaze landed on Kurosaki Masaki, coldly continuing, "If this woman's flesh and blood won't suffice... I heard she has three children... They could be used, right?"
"..."
Terror flashed across Kurosaki Masaki's face instantly.
"Don't scare the kids, Madara..."
Senju Hashirama patted Uchiha Madara's shoulder, lightly smiling and speaking to Uzumaki Kushina and Kurosaki Masaki, "That little one from the Uzumaki family, hurry and take your friend back to your place!"
"Yes... Lord Hashirama."
Uzumaki Kushina hurriedly grabbed Kurosaki Masaki and left.
"Hmph!"
Uchiha Madara disdainfully turned his head, glancing at Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Gol D. Roger: "If you two hadn't shown mercy back then, how could that guy have possibly escaped?"
"Gurararara..."
Whitebeard didn't mind Uchiha Madara's attitude at all, widely laughing and shaking his head, "It couldn't be helped. That fellow wasn't so easy to handle; few can withstand taking a punch from me..."
"Hmph..."
Listening to Whitebeard, a trace of disdain appeared on Uchiha Madara's lips as he continued coldly, "Isn't Yhwach and his bugs fond of hiding in the shadows? Let Uehara Naraku summon those useless ones from the Nara Clan!"
"Keep looking..."
Senju Hashirama shook his head, somewhat disagreeing.
The world's rules are rather different, and the living may not adapt easily.
This lofty assembly of Uehara's officers soon departed from here, returning to their mansion, with their future task being solely to track Yhwach.
Uehara Naraku's resources...
Are overwhelmingly abundant.
Indeed, having plenty of human resources doesn't imply Uehara Naraku would mobilize them without reason; since Yhwach surfaced, Uehara Clan has entrusted the intelligence to Yamamoto Shigekuni.
Yamamoto Shigekuni...
Is an old adversary of Yhwach!
Given the potential threats of Yhwach, Yamamoto Shigekuni is notably cautious!
As a result, General Yamamoto Shigekuni has become increasingly active and has also joined the pursuit of Yhwach.
This shows Uehara Naraku's cunning nature.
If someone wants to hide and be a secret manipulator, first expose his true face and then provide him with an archenemy to let him experience what it's like to be manipulated by destiny.
How to trouble such competitors...
Uehara Naraku is very adept at employing these strategies.
