Chapter 757 - Chapter 610: Uehara Naraku's Identity (Part 4)

The patriarch from each generation of the Uehara Race sacrifices their own soul to seal their spiritual power within the death god descendant upon reaching adulthood, allowing the descendant to quickly acquire formidable strength, thereby preserving their clan's status as a noble family forever...

So...

For all this time, there is almost only one true member of the Uehara Race, while the thousands of death gods and even the Thirteen Deadguard are all just retainers of the Uehara Race!

As for the inheritance secrets of the Uehara Race, it was discovered by a little guy named Urahara Kisuke, who found an incomplete Kinjutsu manuscript left by Orochimaru many years ago.

It only contains the effects of the Kinjutsu.

It is precisely because of this incomplete manuscript that the higher-ups in Soul Society noticed that the Uehara Race might be using these inheritance secrets...

The entire leadership of Soul Society was nearly scared.

They never imagined that the patriarchs of the Uehara Race would dare to sacrifice everything for their family; simply this courage is what makes them the most prosperous noble house in Soul Society!

Originally, these secrets could have been utilized...

Unfortunately, the marriage and parentage of the Uehara Race's patriarchs are a secret.

Before the Uehara Race announces the change of patriarch, almost no one in Soul Society knows whether the patriarch has married or had children, no one knows if they have offspring, as if this race knows their weaknesses too.

This makes it extremely difficult to plan any schemes against the Uehara Race.

Unfortunately...

After Uehara Naraku assumed the role of patriarch, he did not manage the inherited spiritual power properly and began exercising his patriarchal authority...

This provided an opportunity for the insidious ones to act.

Upon hearing Yakushi Kabuto talk about the secrets of the Uehara Race, Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni's brows furrowed increasingly as he spoke coldly, taking over from Yakushi Kabuto's words: "Indeed, Uehara Naraku possesses the accumulated spiritual power from thousands of years of the Uehara Race.

However, according to our observations, it will take some time before he quickly begins to awaken and control the spiritual power within him; according to his talent, by then he might at least acquire power surpassing Captain Level..."

"Yes…"

Yakushi Kabuto's mouth curled into a smile, chuckling softly: "Hence, if one wishes to assassinate Lord Naraku, this period is the most suitable opportunity."

"Indeed."

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni stared at Yakushi Kabuto and spoke gruffly, syllable by syllable: "If Uehara Naraku is killed, you will be the only one in Soul Society who possesses Reanimation...

Only you have the motive to assassinate Uehara Naraku, only you know the weaknesses of Uehara Naraku, only you, as a member of the Zero Squad, are still active outside, so how could I not suspect you?"

"Really..."

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, unable to help but laugh: "Tomorrow I will transplant the Soul King's Power, thereafter residing permanently in the Soul King Palace, will you still doubt me then, Lord Yamamoto?"

"..."

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni fell silent.

If Yakushi Kabuto is about to undergo the transplant of the Soul King's flesh, henceforth he will no longer appear within Quiet Spirit Court, but instead stay in the Soul King Palace guarding the Spirit King's body, maintaining the balance between Soul Society and the Mortal World.

In that case...

It seems there is no need to remain vigilant towards Yakushi Kabuto.

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni hopes that Yakushi Kabuto truly abandons past grudges.

"Well then."

Yakushi Kabuto slowly turned away, leaving just a final statement: "You need not urge me to transplant the Soul King's Power. I myself am very interested in the legendary Spirit King, after all, I'm quite curious about this kind of eternal power…"

"..."

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni did not respond.

Only after Yakushi Kabuto departed did the elderly man's demeanor gradually relax, as the presence of Yakushi Kabuto indeed caused no small amount of trouble for Quiet Spirit Court.

Hundreds of years ago.

Upon arriving in Soul Society, Yakushi Kabuto established an orphanage in Drifting Spirit Town, taking in numerous orphans, and to this day, this orphanage continues to operate.

Many orphans, after growing up, have entered Shin'o Academy to study and upon graduation become death gods.

Simply counting now, those taken in by Yakushi Kabuto include Zaraki Kenpachi and orphan Kusajishi Yachiru, who have become the captain and vice captain of the 11th Squad.

More recently, Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku have become vice captains; and according to Central 46's decision, Ichimaru Gin will soon be promoted to captain of the 3rd Squad.

Besides these captains and vice captains...

Many young death gods are also from this orphanage.

This originally was all good.

This orphanage is quite famous in Drifting Spirit Town, and due to this, Yakushi Kabuto has become very revered, earning him immense prestige in Drifting Spirit Town.

Frankly speaking...

Yakushi Kabuto now represents the will of the death god populace.

Yet the centuries-long conflict between Yakushi Kabuto and the Uehara Race remains unresolved, causing Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni to worry these newly-born death gods might become Yakushi Kabuto's tools...

As long as Yakushi Kabuto is willing to reside permanently in the Soul King Palace...

Then all his connections to Quiet Spirit Court will slowly sever.

Under Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni's watchful gaze, Yakushi Kabuto descended from the tower, slowly traversing the streets of Quiet Spirit Court, moving slowly and steadily.

This person once nearly instigated an internal war within Soul Society...

From behind, he looks like just an ordinary person.

Indeed, from the front, Yakushi Kabuto also appears merely as a common man, the only difference perhaps being that he always carries the Gigai he made himself.
