Hogyoku.
In fact, it is a product of serendipity.
Because the existence of the Hogyoku can induce its master's potential, allowing them to greatly evolve and gain power beyond dimensional limits…
This bizarre power…
Even for Uehara Naraku, it might have extraordinary effects!
Besides the Hogyoku, Uehara Naraku speculates that there might be hidden tasks in this world to collect the power of the Spirit King. After all, as the will of the entire world, the Spirit King is unlikely to be absent from the task list.
Thousands of years of scheming.
Uehara Naraku places his chess pieces one by one in the Soul Society.
Each step is very reasonable, gradually creating conflict and finally pushing the Soul Society and the Hollow World towards the trajectory they wanted to enter.
As for the next steps, Orochimaru and Ichimaru Gin are responsible for tracking Aizen Sousuke, while Yakushi Kabuto is tasked with constantly monitoring the state of the Spirit King in the Soul King Palace.
"Speaking of which…"
Uehara Naraku tilted his head again, recalling a character who had always been out of the loop: "Kabuto, has Urahara Kisuke contacted you again?"
Urahara Kisuke…
Is a crucial figure in creating the Hogyoku!
In some respects, Urahara Kisuke is not any less cunning than Aizen Sousuke. All of his plans effortlessly align with others' conspiracies, inserting his little schemes bit by bit…
"Not yet…"
A hint of apology flashed across Yakushi Kabuto's face, and he whispered: "Ever since Urahara was banished from the Soul Society, I haven't seen any trace of him."
"What a pity…"
A touch of regret flashed across Uehara Naraku's face, as he slowly shook his head and said: "Urahara should have been the first disciple you accepted in the Soul Society, right?"
"I'm sorry…"
A drop of cold sweat gradually trickled down Yakushi Kabuto's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "However, at that time, I hadn't yet controlled the bonds with Urahara, so I never revealed my relationship with Lord Naraku to him. He won't interfere with our plans…"
Aside from this, Yakushi Kabuto did teach Urahara quite a few things because it was the first time he had met someone like Urahara Kisuke, who could fully keep up with his thoughts.
Yet, because of this, Yakushi Kabuto made a mistake…
He didn't realize that Urahara Kisuke would end up detaching from him!
Initially, when Yakushi Kabuto was teaching Urahara, he thought everything was under control and even planned to slowly develop Urahara into a formal member of Akatsuki. Unexpectedly, Urahara Kisuke acted independently and broke away from under his mentor!
Ultimately, due to his unauthorized clashes with Aizen during the Masked Legion incident, Urahara Kisuke was outmaneuvered by Aizen and had to leave the Soul Society…
Yakushi Kabuto deeply felt that one cannot afford any negligence in this world.
Whether it's Aizen Sousuke, Urahara Kisuke, or even Ichimaru Gin, they all possess exceptional wisdom and strategic minds. If it weren't for Uehara Naraku standing behind them, Yakushi Kabuto couldn't guarantee he would have the upper hand in their mutual scheming!
These people are not mindless pirates!
People in this world possess quite high intelligence!
Yakushi Kabuto slowly bowed his head, his voice heavy as he began, "I'm sorry, Lord Naraku, regarding the issue with Urahara… I let you down…"
"No matter."
Uehara Naraku sat upright, folded his hands, and leisurely said, "Just stay in the Soul King Palace at ease. I'll handle this matter… Deceiving my most esteemed subordinate, I'll make him understand that certain forbidden matters already have their cost marked…"
