"Lord Yakushi Kabuto!"
Just as Yakushi Kabuto was about to continue forward, a group of reapers blocked his path. The old man at the front asked solemnly, "Where are you headed, Lord Yakushi Kabuto?"
"Lord Sasakibe..."
Yakushi Kabuto's eyes flickered slightly.
Because the person stopping him from leaving Quiet Spirit Court was Sasakibe Chojiro, the Vice Captain of the 1st Squad of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads, and a friend of General Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni!
Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and smiled as he said, "I was just thinking of visiting the orphanage in Drifting Spirit Town... Is that alright?"
"Of course."
After Sasakibe Chojiro nodded, he still blocked Yakushi Kabuto's path, continuing solemnly, "However, Lord Uehara Naraku and his two Deadguard seem to be passing through this area... For his safety, this area needs to be temporarily guarded."
"..."
Yakushi Kabuto was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and nodded, "Alright, I understand. I'll stay here a little longer..."
These guys...
Are they still worried that he might be a threat to Uehara Naraku before he settles in Soul King Palace?
Yakushi Kabuto gazed at the group of vigilant reapers, his eyes narrowing slightly, and a deeper meaning crept into his smile at the corner of his mouth. What a bunch of complete fools...
Tap, tap, tap, tap...
A series of footsteps approached.
Under the watchful eyes of the reapers, Uehara Naraku led his two Deadguard slowly down the street. As they passed Yakushi Kabuto and the 1st Squad, Uehara Naraku's steps gradually came to a halt.
Uehara Naraku turned around, looking at Yakushi Kabuto, Sasakibe Chojiro, and the others. He slowly tilted his head and squinted his eyes, revealing a warm and sunny smile.
"Good afternoon, esteemed predecessors."
"..."
The group of reapers were somewhat at a loss.
Because it's quite rare to see someone so polite in Soul Society!
"Indeed, it's been a good afternoon... Lord Naraku."
Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but chuckle softly. He slowly looked at Uehara Naraku, showing an equally warm smile as a response to Uehara Naraku.
Even though Yakushi Kabuto was also smiling kindly...
Deep down, Sasakibe Chojiro felt a bit uneasy, involuntarily raising Yakushi Kabuto's threat level. How could this guy possibly be so gentle toward someone from the Uehara Race!
"Then I'll be going."
Uehara Naraku looked at Yakushi Kabuto, a sincere expression on his face, "If possible, I hope Lord Yakushi Kabuto can visit our race, to resolve any past unpleasantness between us..."
This attitude...
The young patriarch's attitude is really quite humble.
Yet his sincere invitation received no desired response.
"That's truly a pity, Lord Naraku..."
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, a glint flashing across the lenses, "Tomorrow I'm going to a secluded place to train for a long time... It's unlikely we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."
"Is that so?"
A hint of regret appeared on Uehara Naraku's face. He slowly sighed before nodding, "Then, I'll take my leave."
After saying this,
Uehara Naraku nodded to Sasakibe Chojiro and the group of reapers from the 1st Squad, even bidding farewell to each of them individually, before slowly departing with Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito, his two Deadguard.
"What a polite young fellow!"
Sasakibe Chojiro watched Uehara Naraku's back, unable to help but voice his praise in a muffled tone, "Except for that undue kindness, which a young one shouldn't overly possess, in all other aspects he seems to be an impeccable, gifted death god..."
"Indeed, I think so too."
Yakushi Kabuto squinted his eyes, smiling as he nodded.
