Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto

Chapter 915: Chapter 690: Seal the Space—No One Is Allowed to Escape from the Soul King Palace! (Part 2)

When Yamamoto Shigekuni and Senju Tobirama arrived, they were already aware of the orders from the Zero Squad and saw Yakushi Kabuto, a member of the Zero Squad.

"..."

Yamamoto Shigekuni remained silent for a long time.

This old man, who carried the history of the Quiet Spirit Court for thousands of years, slowly lowered his head and solemnly instructed: "Captains, lead your squads into the passage to take refuge..."

"Captain General!"

Each Captain of the Shinigami had a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Go in immediately!"

Yamamoto Shigekuni gripped his Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka, and looked at his disciple: "From today, Kyoraku Shunsui will take over as Captain General of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. This is my final order!"

"..."

The Shinigami Captains’ surprise deepened in their expressions.

They quickly understood Yamamoto Shigekuni’s intentions.

This Captain General, who had controlled the Thirteen Court Guard Squads for thousands of years, intended to stand and fight alongside the Reanimation Legion of the Uehara Race until his death, as a price for the Zero Squad’s orders!

Yamamoto Shigekuni did not wish to defy the will of the Zero Squad, which represented the will of the higher-ups and the Spirit King, nor did he want to abandon his comrades, choosing instead to die in battle this way.

"No such necessity."

Senju Tobirama shook his head with a cryptic tone, his face turning slightly grim as he looked at Yamamoto Shigekuni standing at the entrance of the passage, "Lord Yamamoto Shigekuni, from the beginning you deceived the Uehara Race, allowing Yakushi Kabuto to join the legendary Zero Squad, thus fully mastering the Reanimation Jutsu, a brilliant move indeed..."

Senju Tobirama’s cold gaze swept over Yamamoto Shigekuni, who was remorseful with closed eyes, and then all the members of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads present. "From today onwards, the Uehara Race will observe no provisional pacts..."

Senju Tobirama’s tone grew increasingly grim, his eyes frighteningly fierce and his voice rising: "Since you have broken the agreement first, once this war ends...no, starting immediately, the Uehara Race and the Quiet Spirit Court are now officially at war!"

Senju Tobirama’s gaze shifted back to Yamamoto Shigekuni, then to Yakushi Kabuto with a smile next to him, the hostility on his face growing heavier!

"Now...leave!"

"..."

All the Shinigami of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads slowly lowered their heads.

Every Shinigami’s face bore visible signs of shame, each Captain’s expression subtly laced with dissatisfaction, their discontent with the Zero Squad reaching a peak!

By the time Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi arrived, they also fell silent upon hearing the orders from the Zero Squad...

Unfortunately, no one could change any of it.

"I will ensure Captain Naraku’s life is preserved."

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni, his eyes still closed, promised, "As long as I still draw breath, Captain Naraku will definitely..."

"He’s safer than you!"

Senju Tobirama’s face displayed a hint of sarcasm as he disdainfully remarked, "From this day forth, Uehara Naraku is no longer Captain of the 5th Squad!"

"..."

Yamamoto Shigekuni shook his head, then slowly nodded, solemnly continuing, "No matter, my promises do not expire."

"Leave!"

Under the watchful eyes of the Reanimation Legion, the mighty force of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads slowly entered the passage, with Yamamoto Shigekuni standing for a moment before Senju Tobirama’s furious gaze, reluctantly stepping into the passage.

"Please follow me."

Yakushi Kabuto’s smile was somewhat radiant, guiding them forward, "For everyone to withstand the density of spiritual particles in the Soul King Palace, we really put in much effort..."

"..."

No one wanted to respond to him.

No one wanted to reply to the sly Yakushi Kabuto; at this moment, in the eyes of others, Yakushi Kabuto’s image had become synonymous with despicable.

Those Shinigami from orphanages, like Abarai Renji, Matsumoto Rangiku, Kuchiki Rukia, and others, wished to defend their director, for no one understood the crises Yakushi Kabuto had once faced better than them...

Yet the atmosphere at the scene left them unable to speak.

The atmosphere within the passage grew more and more dismal, a constant murmur of whispers echoed, with all the Shinigami expressing their dissatisfaction with their high command.

At the entrance of the passage.

The Reanimation Legion led by Senju Tobirama remained stationed in place.

Even having been abandoned by the Zero Squad high command as scapegoats, the Reanimation Legion remained exceptionally quiet, simply gathering silently around the Deadguard Seat Officer.

The Arrancar Legion led by Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru were not slow to act, quickly reaching the entrance of the Soul King Palace passage and witnessing the dense Reanimation Legion.

"This is..."

Aizen Sousuke raised his eyebrow slightly, instinctively starting to ponder, speculating on what this situation might be.

Orochimaru, not waiting for Aizen Sousuke to finish his speculation, sneered, "Isn’t this my most respected Tobirama-san? It seems the Uehara Race has been denied access to the Soul King Palace..."

"..."

Senju Tobirama’s complexion darkened.

Although Senju Tobirama said nothing, by his expression, Orochimaru’s words seemed indeed true.

"Say something..."

With a smile still on his face, Orochimaru taunted, "Will you continue to serve the Quiet Spirit Court by blocking us... or step aside for us?"

"..."

Senju Tobirama’s face turned even darker, as he slowly raised his head to look at Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru high above, then at the sneering Arrancar Legion, and somewhat helplessly waved his hand.

"Disperse!"

With Senju Tobirama’s order, the Reanimation Legion responded immediately, quickly scattering to allow the Arrancar Legion to pass through!

Aizen Sousuke gently waved his hand, slowly lowering his gaze to survey the Reanimation Legion, softly saying, "If you are willing to join us..."

Senju Tobirama broke in coldly, "Youngster, wait until you have a chance to defeat my brother and Madara!"

"Is that so?"

Aizen Sousuke chuckled lightly, and suddenly said whimsically, "Shouldn’t it be when I have the chance to defeat Naraku?"

"..."

Senju Tobirama’s expression shifted slightly.

At that moment, it was as if a family secret had been uncovered by Aizen Sousuke.

"So, where is Naraku?"

Aizen Sousuke lowered his eyelids slightly, not waiting for Senju Tobirama to answer, and muttered to himself, "Let me guess... he should be hiding somewhere now, waiting for the war between me and the Quiet Spirit Court to end before dealing with the aftermath, right?"

Aizen Sousuke’s gaze swept over the ground where the Reanimation Legion stood, continuing, "To let us destroy each other, Naraku has really racked his brains..."

Aizen Sousuke slowly raised his hand, his tone gentle as a spring breeze, "However... this time, he will be disappointed... crushing an ant only requires lifting a single finger... and to crush another ant, it’s just another finger."

For Aizen Sousuke at present, defeating the Thirteen Court Guard Squads did not expend much of his spiritual power, it was a simple task!

After defeating the Thirteen Court Guard Squads and Reanimation Legion, Aizen Sousuke was confident he could settle the Quiet Spirit Court and the Zero Squad, then take care of the hidden Uehara Naraku!

Aizen Sousuke’s eyes glinted as he slowly waved his hand, speaking coldly, "Alright, this time I’ll spare you, killing some scapegoats would tarnish this war, which even I am proud of.

As the price for sparing you, pass a message to Naraku for me!

In half an hour, I will lead the Arrancar Legion to destroy the entire Soul King Palace. After I destroy the Soul King Palace, I will sit on the throne of the Soul King Palace, waiting for his challenge.

Hopefully, this time, he will show his true strength!

This is the last chance I will give him.

Arrancar Legion, continue forward."

With that, Aizen Sousuke ceased looking at Senju Tobirama and the Reanimation Legion, and with Orochimaru, led the Arrancar Legion into the passage of the Soul King Palace.

Not long after they entered the Soul King Palace passage.

Senju Tobirama’s countenance returned to normal, his gaze full of a dangerous gleam as he watched the Arrancar Legion enter the Soul King Palace.

"Monkey, Minato, lead the sealing team to set up a barrier, sealing all spatial barriers of the Soul King Palace, allowing no one to escape!"
