Chapter 790: Chapter 626: Hollow Forest Collapse Plan!_2
Sure, here is the translation:
To be honest, this plan sounds a bit crude, almost like a replica of Orochimaru’s former plan to collapse Konoha, and it even seems somewhat inferior...
Of course, time is indeed urgent.
Aizen Sousuke must also consider a problem.
If he doesn’t quickly deal with the hidden Orochimaru in the Hollow World, who knows what kind of piece Orochimaru might place in the Soul Society to trap him...
The matter of the Hollow World...
Aizen Sousuke does not want more people to know.
Orochimaru and his Arrancar Legion, Aizen Sousuke is determined to acquire them; he needs the secrets from Orochimaru’s mouth and also the technology that Orochimaru uses to create Arrancars!
Orochimaru’s base.
Orochimaru finished reading the Hollow Forest collapse plan.
Neliel looked at the peculiar expression on Orochimaru’s face, and couldn’t help but softly ask, "Lord Orochimaru, is there any problem with the intelligence Ulquiorra sent?"
"There is no problem."
Orochimaru shook his head, slowly put down the Hollow Forest collapse plan in his hand, and cracked a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, chuckling as he spoke: "I just remembered some things from the past, it really is worth reminiscing..."
"Something that makes Orochimaru nostalgic?"
Neliel showed a hint of surprise on her face.
As an Arrancar Hollow nurtured by Orochimaru, they have never seen Orochimaru display such an expression; Orochimaru seemed like a tool that could never go wrong...
No, that’s incorrect.
One could say he is a man who never shows emotion.
In Orochimaru’s eyes, he always longs for knowledge and experiments.
"Yes..."
Orochimaru slowly nodded, his smile becoming more and more bizarre: "Those were truly nostalgic times, when everyone was so simple..."
"Simple..."
Neliel couldn’t help but frown; the word seemed misplaced coming from Orochimaru’s mouth, as it did not fit his identity at all...
No matter how you think about it, "simple" has nothing to do with Orochimaru!
Of course...
The simplicity that Orochimaru referred to...
He meant a time when everyone believed Uehara Naraku was just a minor character, at most possessing a bit of power—who knew this guy was actually a monster hidden behind the scenes, controlling the world...
Now...
Uehara Naraku has reverted back to being the same as before.
No, Uehara Naraku has become even more than he was before!
Now Uehara Naraku has begun creating his own controlled history directly, and buried these truths eroded by time...
I truly want to see...
When others think they’ve discovered the true history and are shocked by the truth, the real story behind the truth is only just emerging.
"Let me take a look..."
Orochimaru picked up a photo frame from his desk, smiling as he gazed at the young figure in the frame: "Sousuke, ever since you were little, appreciated and nurtured by Uehara Naraku, will you have the chance to escape his control..."
Yes.
Orochimaru has detailed information on Aizen Sousuke here.
Ever since the name Aizen Sousuke appeared within the Uehara Race’s range of sight, there has always been someone monitoring him nearby...
Monitors from the Uehara Race continually transmitted all the information regarding Aizen Sousuke to Orochimaru in Soul Society, letting Orochimaru know the kind of person he would face in the future!
Until Aizen Sousuke awakened a powerful spiritual pressure...
At that time, the Uehara Race, wanting to avoid alerting Aizen Sousuke, withdrew their surveillance of Aizen, but they swiftly placed Ichimaru Gin under Aizen Sousuke!
No one understands the purpose behind Uehara Naraku’s actions...
Until Aizen Sousuke gradually revealed his dark side, began to seize power to ascend the supreme divine throne, and stirred the winds and clouds in Soul Society step by step with conspiracy...
Only then...
Did anyone realize...
Uehara Naraku might be cultivating his own opponent.
Because they are too similar!
If you’re not careful in the beginning, everyone instinctively perceives Aizen Sousuke as a common minor character; only those who truly understand Aizen Sousuke know the depth of thought hidden beneath the sunny façade...
The Shinigami Hollowfication case decades ago, even though Aizen Sousuke was the mastermind, he flipped the clouds and covered the rain, using Soul Society’s rules and humanity to overthrow Urahara Kisuke and a group of Arrancar Shinigami.
Aizen Sousuke’s control over human nature...
Is just like Uehara Naraku’s manipulation of emotions!
In certain aspects, the two are so similar that one cannot help but suspect if Uehara Naraku is grooming a new subordinate or cultivating a suitable rival for himself...
Orochimaru slowly put down the photo frame in his hand, forming a smile at the corner of his mouth: "If all destiny is his arrangement, would you still have hope and confidence to surpass him?"
Upon speaking these words, Orochimaru slowly lifted his head and looked toward the room storing his records, his heart slowly rising with shock!
Even he...
Cannot help but be terrified by these records!
Entire bookshelves reaching to the ceiling, densely filled like a library with file folders, clearly documenting every action Aizen Sousuke made in the past!
From his first lecture...
From the moment he first learned the use of spiritual pressure...
From the joy of mastering the abilities of Kido and Hadou...
From realizing the loneliness of a genius...
From the secretive actions after his Zanpakuto Shikai awakening...
From the first time he truly delved into darkness to ascend the Celestial Throne...
At every moment of Aizen Sousuke’s life, even how he hid his emotions in front of others.
Truly happy moments, Aizen Sousuke would conceal his joy and show his inner sense of accomplishment through small movements or subtle expressions...
In tricky situations, Aizen Sousuke would display slight expressions showing his confidence or would decide to make a bold move...
All of these records...
Exist in this room.
Since the name Aizen Sousuke appeared before Uehara Naraku, all information and intelligence about him has been sent here little by little!
During his spare time.
Aside from researching his own experiments, Orochimaru studied how to deal with Aizen Sousuke; he had no idea how long he had been preparing for this day...
To be honest...
In front of this mountainous data library, Orochimaru truly doesn’t believe Aizen Sousuke can escape Uehara Naraku’s control, everything Aizen does in the end will just make him a puppet.
Even though Orochimaru actually admires Aizen’s abilities and tactics...
Yet in the face of the thoroughly prepared Uehara Naraku, how could Aizen possibly have a chance to escape? Even if he could escape, he wouldn’t have the power to surpass Uehara Naraku, right?
Unless...
It is the Hogyoku that Uehara Naraku has been searching for.
Just as Orochimaru was slowly flipping through recent information on Aizen Sousuke, Aizen Sousuke quietly sat in his room within the Hollow Night Palace.
No one could disturb him.
Even Ulquiorra guarded outside the room personally.
Because Aizen Sousuke was also perusing a set of records.
No, to be precise, he was examining his previously treasured collection, something he had silently preserved that was unknown to outsiders.
A box.
Before Aizen Sousuke lay a peculiar-looking box, its age was quite old, and even had a sealing barrier around it.
Aizen Sousuke extended his fingers, slowly using his method to break the sealing barrier, showing a trace of a nostalgic smile on his face.
"Speaking of..."
Aizen Sousuke extended his palm to open the box, gazing down at the contents, the smile on his face deepening and becoming increasingly bizarre: "Mr. Orochimaru, are you perhaps the first audience of my life?"
Inside the box.
Stacked with dense snake sheddings!
Making one involuntarily feel a bit of a chill!
