Chapter 793: Chapter 628
Hollow World.
Hollow Forest.
The entire area around the tower was silent.
A group of Arrancar Hollows slowly retreated to make way, as a dark-haired, sinister man emerged slowly, accompanied by Neliel and Grimmjow.
The man’s appearance looked very youthful...
Yet the eerie grin on his face was unsettling...
Those snake-like eyes seemed to belong to a giant serpent ready to devour its prey!
Orochimaru!
Even after leaving the Soul Society for thousands of years, what he left behind continued to influence the Soul Society, and every time his scripts appeared in the Mortal World, people treated them like precious treasures...
Just one of the secret techniques he researched enabled the Uehara Race to become the most prestigious family in the Soul Society...
"This truly is..."
Sosuke Aizen’s expression was as calm as ever, he slowly lifted his glasses with his fingers and spoke softly, "I’ve long heard of your name... Mr. Orochimaru."
"Is that so?"
Orochimaru curled his lips into a cold smile, chuckling softly as he said, "In that case, I’m truly honored..."
"No..."
Sosuke Aizen adjusted the frame of his glasses, his eyes rarely narrowing slightly as his smile grew increasingly peculiar, "The one who should feel honored is me..."
"Hehehe..."
Orochimaru let out a soft chuckle.
Although everything that happened in the Soul Society over its thousands of years of history was orchestrated by Uehara Naraku, all of Orochimaru’s deeds were also controlled by him... yet Orochimaru was quite content with this sense of being a senior.
At least when facing Sosuke Aizen...
Orochimaru felt like someone who once stood at the pinnacle, looking down upon the earth.
To be honest, this feeling wasn’t bad; Uehara Naraku’s arrangements weren’t unreasonable, and for once, Orochimaru’s resentment towards Uehara Naraku dissipated, with a slight favor rising in his heart...
If he could truly collaborate with Uehara...
Life like this wouldn’t be bad.
In comparison, living like this little brat Sosuke Aizen, under Uehara Naraku’s manipulation from the outset, truly seemed pitiful when thought about...
With this in mind, Orochimaru lifted his head and looked at Sosuke Aizen, as if gazing at prey about to be tormented by him, smiling lightly, "Alright, shall we start with the appetizer? The Arrancar juveniles’ exam has just commenced..."
"Alright."
Sosuke Aizen slowly nodded, squinting his eyes with a smile, "Perfect, I’m also quite interested in this..."
"Hehehe... that’s good."
Orochimaru couldn’t help but extend his long tongue to lick his lips.
Even though Orochimaru had replenished his soul power by devouring Hollows, and possessed a body almost akin to immortality, seeing someone like Sosuke Aizen made him somewhat restless, wanting to obtain his body.
The first written exam for the newborn Arrancar Hollows had just begun.
Sosuke Aizen originally wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Orochimaru, but upon seeing the exam questions, he couldn’t help but show a bit of interest.
For these exam questions...
If leaked, they would make the entire Soul Society shudder!
As these questions fell under Sosuke Aizen’s gaze, his eyes slightly narrowed as the questions assessed the entire intelligence of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads, covering all Captain Level characters!
Including Uehara Naraku, who had just become the Vice Captain of 5th Squad!
The intelligence of the Soul Society...
Orochimaru indeed held it all along, didn’t he?
The written exam even included essays on the Shikai and Bankai abilities of the Captain General Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni...
No...
Or rather, all essay questions were about detailing the information on every squad captain in the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads; Shikai and Bankai were almost mandatory questions!
This means...
The new Arrancar Hollows sitting in the exam from this moment began grasping the intelligence on the Thirteen Court Guard Squads captains!
Naturally...
This included his Kyoka Suigetsu.
How terrifying...
Even Sosuke Aizen couldn’t help but marvel.
"Truly worthy of being a legend spoken of for thousands of years in the Soul Society..."
Sosuke Aizen sat at the tea table, slowly voicing admiration, "These newly transformed Arrancar Hollows are learning to know their enemies from the very start..."
"Hehehe..."
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, nodding slowly, and said, "The importance of intelligence seems needless to say..."
"Indeed."
Sosuke Aizen’s eyes flickered as a flash passed through his lenses. He turned to Orochimaru, asking softly, "The Uehara family’s protection of intelligence within the Soul Society is very tight; is this taught by Mr. Orochimaru in the past..."
"Uehara..."
Orochimaru’s smile slightly waned, only to appear on his face once more: "What they sealed off were just some trivial rumors... I’ve long been well-versed in the entire Uehara Race!"
At this moment...
Orochimaru seemed to be hiding his sentiments towards the Uehara Race.
However, the moment his smile vanished already revealed that his relationship with the Uehara Race wasn’t as friendly as the legends in the Soul Society claimed!
