Moreover, in the Hollow Night Palace, no one can offer better advice than Orochimaru, and Aizen Sousuke reached out to brush his fringe and opened the door to the secret chamber.
"Lord Aizen."
Ichimaru Gin stood with folded arms by the door, a slight smile on his lips as he spoke: "I wonder… has the Hogyoku fusion succeeded? How does it feel?"
"Very good."
Aizen Sousuke slowly nodded, suddenly turned his head, seemingly casually asking: "Gin, is there a way to contact Mr. Kabuto? Perhaps I have some matters I need to consult him about…"
Apart from Orochimaru…
It seems you can also contact Yakushi Kabuto?
Although Yakushi Kabuto was once a disciple of Orochimaru, Yakushi Kabuto's gentle nature is clearly more reliable than that guy Orochimaru…
"Want to contact Teacher Kabuto?"
Ichimaru Gin smiled with squinted eyes, rubbing his temple with his fingers, and continued, "Hundreds of years ago, Teacher Kabuto secretly used a secret technique to control several shinigami, allowing him to observe every move in the outside world. However, it's quite troublesome for us to contact those shinigami…"
"Is that so…"
Aizen Sousuke pondered, pinching his chin thoughtfully.
As Aizen was contemplating which shinigami might have been controlled, Ichimaru Gin chuckled and continued, "After all, those few shinigami controlled by Teacher Kabuto… are the bottom four Deadguard Seat Officers of the Uehara Race!"
"!!"
A look of surprise flashed across Aizen's face!
Such a thing… how is it possible!
No, such a thing could be possible!
Otherwise, how could Yakushi Kabuto, alone and isolated, escape the Uehara Race's pursuit, unless he has access to in-depth intelligence channels!
"I was quite surprised when I first learned about it…"
Ichimaru Gin continued with his eyes still smiling, looking satisfied with the change in Aizen's expression, "Though their ranking is low, and their power not particularly strong, they are nevertheless Deadguard Seat Officers of the Uehara Race…"
Indeed.
Just being Deadguard Seat Officers of the Uehara Race allows one to obtain many secrets from their mouths!
It's really unexpected…
That Yakushi Kabuto still holds such a trump card!
"Is that so…"
A bright flash crossed Aizen Sousuke's eyes as he gazed at Ichimaru Gin, his expression subtly clearing into seriousness: "The purpose of telling me this information at this moment…"
Ichimaru Gin spread his hands, smiling softly: "Because if we are to engage in battle with the Uehara Race… some pieces have now reached the point where they should indeed be moved!
If Lord Aizen hadn't obtained the Hogyoku, Teacher Kabuto would have kept this secret forever. Now that Lord Aizen has obtained the Hogyoku, Teacher Kabuto naturally places hope upon Lord Aizen,"
"..."
Aizen Sousuke nodded to himself.
At this moment, he seemed to think of something, his eyes slightly tightening as he spoke quietly: "If that's the case, do Mr. Kabuto and you know something about Naraku…"
"I once tried to force out his true face!"
Ichimaru Gin slowly lifted his head, looking into Aizen Sousuke's eyes and chuckled as he continued, "Unfortunately, no matter what, he never exposed any flaws… or perhaps, Uehara Naraku never shows flaws easily."
"..."
Aizen Sousuke's mood darkened slightly.
Now thinking back to how Ichimaru Gin interacted with Uehara Naraku, Ichimaru Gin always seemed to use exaggerated means, attempting to mock and provoke Uehara Naraku!
Yet Uehara Naraku always remained stoically hidden…
So, he's the last to know Uehara Naraku's true identity, while Ichimaru Gin and Yakushi Kabuto have known about Uehara Naraku for ages without telling him!
Only after he obtained the Hogyoku…
These two, mentor and disciple, finally disclosed this to him!
This mentor and disciple pair just want to use him to eliminate the threat of the Uehara Race, but why do they hide information about Uehara Naraku, fearing he might retreat?
Moreover…
"Since you know Naraku's real face…"
Aizen Sousuke continued softly, observing Ichimaru Gin's smiling visage: "Why hasn't Mr. Kabuto disclosed this to the Quiet Spirit Court? In that case, Quiet Spirit Court is also an enemy of the Uehara Race, isn't it?"
"Cannot explain."
Ichimaru Gin gently shook his head, slowly opened his eyes, his face reflecting unease: "Because when we encountered Uehara Naraku… his power had already grown to a level where even Teacher Kabuto had to back down."
Ichimaru Gin's expression became more grim: "And Lord Aizen should know our identities.
No matter how, the Quiet Spirit Court wouldn't believe enemies of the Uehara Race,'specially seeing Teacher Kabuto's observations noted Uehara spies within the Court, for instance, Tosen Kaname who betrayed Lord Aizen…
In such a situation…
Teacher Kabuto wouldn't dare to recklessly alert the snake."
"..."
A hint of wariness flashed across Aizen Sousuke's face.
If back when Tosen Kaname was under Uehara's scrutiny, then this must be an enormous joke!
"As for why it hasn't been reported to Lord Aizen…"
Ichimaru Gin re-squinted his eyes, smiling as he continued to explain: "Teacher Kabuto thought Lord Aizen might get killed in the event we defected to the Hollow World…
Even though Lord Aizen might have special means to escape the Quiet Spirit Court, he was easily defeated by the first Seat Officer, making the secret seem unnecessary to share with Lord Aizen…"
