Chapter 796: Chapter 629: Aizen Sousuke, a Man Who Stands Above the Sky and the Stars! (Part 2)
Now, in this world...
Uehara Naraku has sold him out to Aizen Sousuke again!
Why the hell can’t that bastard just fix that inhuman personality of his!
Orochimaru knew he wasn’t someone to be trusted, but once in a while he really had felt like working sincerely with Uehara Naraku!
Unfortunately, that desire to cooperate...
Usually didn’t last long before Uehara Naraku smashed it to pieces.
Forget it...
Things are already like this.
All he could do now was keep going according to the plan.
Orochimaru slowly calmed the anger in his heart. Looking at Aizen Sousuke’s face, full of that "wisdom in hand" look, he suddenly grinned and said, "What a clever child you are. Can you tell me when you found out about this? I’m actually quite curious about that..."
"Heh heh..."
Aizen Sousuke chuckled lightly and spoke lazily, "When we gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back at us... When I gained enough power to chase after the abyss, I naturally discovered the traces of its existence."
Orochimaru sat back down, slowly picked up the teacup on the table, and let out a self-mocking laugh. "Looks like all the intel I got has to be overturned..."
If Aizen Sousuke had known long ago that someone was watching him...
That would mean all the intel on Aizen Sousuke was fake. Since he knew he was being watched, how could this man possibly leak his real information...
"No, it was all real."
Aizen Sousuke slowly shook his head, lips curling in a careless smile. "Only the real can elicit an even more genuine response... If it’s too deliberate, it would inevitably trigger your vigilance."
"..."
Orochimaru shook his head, refusing to believe it.
With someone like Aizen Sousuke, who wore two faces, who knew whether he had a third one hidden underneath?
This was a man who was always deceiving others.
Aizen Sousuke seemed to guess what Orochimaru was thinking, and spoke lazily, "In Mr. Orochimaru’s eyes, what kind of person am I..."
"Hohohoho... Who knows..."
Orochimaru laughed with utter contempt written all over his face.
At this point, what was the point of saying any of that?
All these years, all that homework really was done for nothing!
That bastard Uehara Naraku had just exposed him like this. Wasn’t he afraid that Aizen Sousuke had hidden himself too deep and would eventually backfire on him?
That bastard...
He was way too confident!
"No, I know, and Mr. Orochimaru knows too."
Aizen Sousuke looked at Orochimaru, fingers brushing his frames as he smiled and said, "In the study where Mr. Orochimaru stores his materials, there’s a dossier with the most detailed analysis. I’m quite satisfied with the way Mr. Orochimaru evaluated me in that file..."
"..."
Question marks started popping up in Orochimaru’s head.
Wait, why did he have no impression of that dossier?
Don’t tell him this shit was another one of Uehara Naraku’s tricks? Just how much was that bastard still hiding from him? How did he not even know he’d written an evaluation of Aizen Sousuke!
This bastard...
Really knows how to stir up trouble!
Aizen Sousuke had no idea about the story behind all this; he just went on speaking for his own sake. "A calm mind, serenity hidden in the eyes, like a flame impossibly steady... Just these few words alone made me want to take Mr. Orochimaru as a kindred spirit."
Aizen Sousuke smiled at Orochimaru and continued, "Perhaps only a bystander can clearly see the self that has been hidden away... Even I can’t find a better turn of phrase than those two lines."
"..."
Orochimaru remained silent.
He had no idea about any of these lines.
Because all he could see in Aizen Sousuke was darkness and ambition; and besides him, probably only those people of the Uehara Race understood Aizen Sousuke best...
That bastard...
He couldn’t at least give him a copy of the script?
"At the beginning, no one stood in the heavens..."
Aizen Sousuke went on slowly, "Even I deeply agree with that line. Whether it’s me, or Mr. Orochimaru, or Captain Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni, not one of us can sit upon that supreme Celestial Throne...
Aizen Sousuke looked at Orochimaru, a trace of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Although I’m quite confident I can put an end to this vacancy on the Celestial Throne, I still can’t help but marvel at how far ahead Mr. Orochimaru’s gaze reaches...
Even without guidance, Aizen Sousuke can one day stand in a place higher than the sky and the stars themselves... Is that why Mr. Orochimaru has always watched from the sidelines, yet never interfered with my life?"
"..."
Orochimaru was still sunk in silence.
This shit had basically nothing to do with him!
So what the hell was that so-called dossier Aizen Sousuke got from his study? Was there really no one who could just tell him what was in it?
Aizen Sousuke looked at Orochimaru’s ugly expression and spoke slowly, "Rest assured, Mr. Orochimaru, I won’t mind your surveillance. Precisely because that dossier exists, I believe that you, who understand me, can become my best partner in cooperation..."
"...Hohohoho..."
A strained smile flashed across Orochimaru’s face. He glanced at Aizen Sousuke, then at everyone present, and felt a little like a clown.
Even if they could work together...
The two of them were already filled with distrust toward each other.
