Chapter 785: Chapter 624: The Gift Aizen Sousuke Received!
The entire Guardian Court Thirteen Squads is quite large in number.
However, when the Central 46 Chambers tried to find any Shinigami among them without any particular ties to the Uehara Race, Yakushi Kabuto, Urahara Kisuke, and others, they couldn’t find a single one!
Until the very end...
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni personally decided on a group of candidates, led by the Vice Captain of the 5th Squad, Uehara Naraku, the Captain of the 10th Squad, Shiba Ishin, and Vice Captain Matsumoto Rangiku, to all head to the Mortal World to search for the whereabouts of Urahara Kisuke.
According to the results of the talks between the Uehara Race and the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads,
the Uehara Race would also dispatch personnel from among the Thirteen Deadguard to take action.
Led by Minato Namikaze of the Seventh Seat, Uchiha Obito of the Eighth Seat, and Uchiha Itachi of the Ninth Seat, they formed a joint action with a Shinigami army;
Besides these, the Second Seat Senju Hashirama and Fifth Seat Senju Tobirama would also personally move, secretly leading a small unit to covertly support and protect Uehara Naraku.
This joint action between the two sides is a major event.
For thousands of years, except for the time a thousand years ago when Yhwach invaded the Soul Society, when the Uehara Race sent out the Third and Fourth Seat officers from the Thirteen Deadguard to the forefront.
Since then, the Uehara Race has hardly ever sent out the Thirteen Deadguard to act jointly with the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads.
This time...
The Uehara Race sent out five officers from the Thirteen Deadguard!
Especially considering that each officer here is extremely powerful, with even one being the second seat of the Thirteen Deadguard, Senju Hashirama!
Of course...
Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama brothers merely act secretly.
The true officers dispatched openly by the Uehara Race are only Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Itachi, while the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads is more straightforward, only sending Shiba Ishin and Matsumoto Rangiku.
To ensure the success of this joint action, Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni even personally presided over the meeting between Shiba Ishin and Minato Namikaze, hoping they would cooperate happily in this action.
This meeting also overturned the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads’ impression of the Uehara Race, as they didn’t expect there to be such a sunny figure like Minato Namikaze among the Thirteen Deadguard...
He doesn’t seem at all like a Deadguard; in fact, if it had to be said, Minato Namikaze seems quite suitable to be a captain in the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads...
Shiba Ishin had a good impression of Minato Namikaze.
After the meeting ended.
The Vice Captain of the 10th Squad, Matsumoto Rangiku, was a bit surprised by Minato Namikaze’s character. Watching Minato Namikaze leaving with the Shinigami of the Uehara Race, she couldn’t help but say, "If it weren’t for knowing his identity, you really can’t tell he’s one of the Thirteen Deadguard..."
"Right? Actually, he is more suited to be a captain, a natural leader..."
Shiba Ishin chuckled lightly and nodded, then seemed to think of something, his expression turning serious again, "But if the Uehara Race did send him this time, they definitely want to capture Urahara..."
"Hmm?"
A hint of surprise appeared in Matsumoto Rangiku’s eyes.
Shiba Ishin stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "Do you know he has a nickname? They say he is the Uehara Race’s Golden Flash..."
"Golden... Flash?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Matsumoto Rangiku’s face. After thinking for a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Seems a bit familiar, is that the name of his Zanpakuto? I heard that Lord Uehara Naraku, who recently joined the 5th Squad, also possesses the ability to use it..."
"It’s not the name of his Zanpakuto."
Shiba Ishin shook his head, speaking deeply, "In the entire Guardian Court Thirteen Squads back then, only the former Captain of Squad 2, Shihoin Yoruichi’s Shunpo was the fastest... however, Minato Namikaze’s speed was even faster than Shihoin Yoruichi..."
Shiba Ishin slowly recounted past histories, explaining in a soft voice, "In the past, when Shihoin Yoruichi infiltrated the Uehara Outer City, attempting to secretly sneak into the Inner City, she was captured easily, causing the Shihoin Family to be nearly unable to lift their heads..."
That incident shocked the entire Quiet Spirit Court at the time.
If Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni hadn’t personally intervened, Shihoin Yoruichi might have been executed internally by Uehara Naraku by now. This sort of matter really couldn’t be reasoned with.
When Shiba Ishin spoke this far, a trace of unease flashed across his face, his expression turning somewhat grave, "The person who easily captured that former Captain of Squad 2 within Uehara City was none other than the Minato Namikaze we just met..."
"What?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Matsumoto Rangiku’s face.
Just in terms of Shunpo speed, all the captains and vice-captains in the entire Quiet Spirit Court knew that Shihoin Yoruichi had the fast and mysterious speed, and that she once even rescued Urahara Kisuke from the Central 46 Chambers!
Never thought...
Even Shihoin Yoruichi would have a time of losing?
If the Uehara Race sent out Minato Namikaze to act together, it seems like they are absolutely determined to capture Urahara Kisuke!
On the other side.
Minato Namikaze also had a favorable impression of Shiba Ishin, feeling that this straightforward Captain of the 10th Squad resembled his former teacher Jiraiya...
Shiba Ishin, this kind of person...
Could be quite reliable when serious...
The only problem is, most of the time, they don’t seem very serious.
After the meeting between both sides, Minato Namikaze and Shiba Ishin each led their own subordinates to the Mortal World, Uehara Naraku also following them, leaving the Soul Society.
