Behind the Scenes in Naruto World Chapter 691 From the Very Beginning, You Knew What Everything I Wanted To Do…

Soul King Palace.

There was light at the end of the pa.s.sageway.

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni led Gotei 13 to the end of the pa.s.sageway and slowly stopped. The old man extended his hand to signal for the entire Gotei 13 to stop.

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni raised his head and looked at the somewhat empty Soul King Palace. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his brows tightly wrinkled, “En? This… what is going on?”

The appearance of the entire Soul King Palace was slightly different from what he remembered.

Because the current Soul King Palace had become a wide square, there were no buildings as far as Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni’s eyes could see. The palaces where Zero Division members lived and the palaces that stored Soul King crystal coffins disappeared without a trace!

The entire wide s.p.a.ce was completely empty.

There were only five tall stone pillars and a tall stone tablet standing in the center of the wide square, which makes people feel that this closed s.p.a.ce with high status was a bit barren…

“That is…”

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni’s gaze stopped on the stone pillars and stone tablet.

When the old man saw the five stone pillars and stone tablet, his expression suddenly became serious, and his palm suddenly clenched his own Zanpakuto!

On the five stone pillars…

Five members of Zero Division were tied!

Hyosube Ichibe, Hikifune Kirio, Kirinji Tenjiro, Nimaiya Oetsu, Shutara Senjumaru, these five members of Zero Division who had rewritten Soul Society’s history, their figures were particularly miserable at this moment!

The bodies of every Zero Division member were covered with black lines. Their bodies were tightly tied to the top of the stone pillars, and their heads were lowered as if they were dead.

How could this happen?

Just these five Zero Division members’ combat strength combined was stronger than the entire Gotei 13!

Now, they were tied to the pillars like captives!

Who was it that has this kind of strength to capture these Zero Division members and even humiliate them like this…

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni’s eyes slowly stopped on the stone tablet in front of the five pillars. He finally saw what the stone tablet was…

It was not a stone tablet!

It was a tall throne!

A throne that occupied the center of Soul King Palace!

And around that shocking throne stood four figures of different heights, guarding the throne like servants.

Or…

They were guarding the person on the throne.

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni’s face became ugly. The Gotei 13 captains around him also saw all of this, and everyone’s face flashed with a touch of surprise!

“How did Soul King Palace become like this?”

“How is it possible? The Zero Division members were all… defeated?”

“What happened here?”

“Why is Zero Division captured…”

“The people below the throne… are… Mr. Madara…”

“The… first four seats of the Uehara Clan… This is…”

The faces of Gotei 13’s captains became more and more ugly until they saw the young man sitting on the throne, a man who was like an abyss!

At this moment…

The reiatsu of the man sitting on the throne gave people a feeling as deep and terrifying as the abyss of h.e.l.l, making people not dare to look at him for a long time!

However, the s.h.i.+nigami captains and their subordinates at this time involuntarily looked at the man on the throne!

“Captain Uehara?”

The entire Gotei 13 was in an uproar.

Every captain of Gotei 13 had different expressions. Each of them had an especially interesting expression on their faces. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and complexity.

“Uehara… how did he appear in the Soul King Palace?”

“And the first four seats… What is going on?”

“Are you kidding? The Zero Division members were actually captured?”

“What the h.e.l.l is going on? It can’t be that Captain Uehara led the first four seats to defeat Zero Division and destroy this Soul King Palace, right?”

Although the 13th division captain, Ukitake Jus.h.i.+ro, proposed some kind of truth in his speculation.

But he himself did not dare to believe it was the truth after saying it.

On the throne.

Uehara Naraku slowly raised his head and looked at the messy Gotei 13 members. The corners of his mouth curled up, and a gentle voice echoed in this s.p.a.ce.

“Have you finally come? Everyone…”

Uehara Naraku’s voice was still gentle and approachable. He smiled politely like a host to a guest, “But I’m sorry, we still have a few guests who haven’t arrived… Before that, do you want… a gla.s.s of juice first?”

Uehara Naraku’s att.i.tude was obviously different from the past…

However, no one would think that the Uehara Naraku in front of them was still the weak and gentle 5th division captain they knew!

The eyes of each s.h.i.+nigami captain were somewhat cold. They seemed to see the shadow of the previous 5th division captain, Sosuke Aizen, on Uehara Naraku’s body. He was even more dangerous than Sosuke Aizen who was chasing them outside!

By now, no one would think that the Zero Division members were captured and tied to the stone pillars would have nothing to do with Uehara Naraku!

Every s.h.i.+nigami captain thought that Soul King Palace would be a safe place, but they did not expect that such a change would happen in the Soul King Palace!

No one would have thought…

The most secure place, the Soul King Palace, actually hides an even bigger conspiracy!

“Heheheh…”

A somewhat neurotic smile appeared on the face of the 11th division captain, Kenpachi Zaraki. A wisp of fighting spirit flashed through his eyes, and his gaze turned to the other s.h.i.+nigami captain, “Hey, don’t tell me that you guys still think Uehara Naraku is a good person?”

“Even Ken-chan can tell that something is wrong…”

The 11th division’s lieutenant, Kusajis.h.i.+ Yachiru, nervously reached out and grabbed Kenpachi Zaraki’s clothes. Her little face was full of worry and fear, “How can other people not see the problem… I also think there seems to be a problem with Little Naraku…”

“…”

Kenpachi Zaraki’s expression was even more ugly.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki knew that Kusajis.h.i.+ Yachiru was speaking from the bottom of her heart, it was precisely because this little fellow was speaking from the bottom of her heart that he felt even more sad!

b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

She spoke as if his IQ was very low!

There was no need to use your brain for a problem that could usually be solved with a sword!

Even the slow-witted Kenpachi Zaraki and Kusajis.h.i.+ Yachiru could detect the problem, let alone the other s.h.i.+nigami captains. These people figured everything out in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps the Uehara clan had never withdrawn from this war.

The only thing that they did not expect was…

Uehara Naraku, who had always appeared harmless, was actually a schemer who destroy the Zero Division because no matter how you looked at it, Uehara Naraku did not look like this kind of person. Perhaps the Tobirama under him was more like this kind of schemer…

No…

It should be said that…

In fact, Uehara Naraku’s action was very familiar to them!

Because there was a Sosuke Aizen as an example!

Was there a problem with the Gotei 13’s 5th-division captain position? The two 5th division captains were both conspirators…

“Today’s weather is good…”

Uehara Naraku looked up at the clear sky and looked at the many s.h.i.+nigami with ugly faces. He slowly continued, “It’s really good weather. The sun will s.h.i.+ne down, and everyone’s eyes will be bright…”

Clearly, there was still a gentle smile on Uehara Naraku’s face…

However, his smile was not like a person that would make people relax their vigilance and bring warmth. This time, it made all s.h.i.+nigami’s heart involuntarily turn cold.

Every s.h.i.+nigami captain’s feelings became especially complicated.

Even if they guessed that Uehara Naraku was planning all this behind the scenes, they were unwilling to a.s.sociate the Uehara Naraku who was sitting on the throne with the Uehara Naraku in their memories!

During the meeting a day ago, Uehara Naraku stubbornly insisted that he wanted to join the battle, even as a member of the medical or logistics team.

However…

Now…

The current Uehara Naraku…

He was like a high and mighty king!

Whether it was the backrest of the tall and towering throne, whether it was the first four seats standing below him, whether it was the five Zero Division members who were tied up at the back…

All of this made these s.h.i.+nigami captains feel shocked!

Even in their dreams, these s.h.i.+nigami captains would never think that Uehara Naraku would actually appear in front of them with this kind of image…

Step…

Step step step step…

The sound of wooden clogs stepping on the stone slab was particularly loud.

Yamamoto Genryusai s.h.i.+gekuni gripped the hilt of his Zanpakuto tightly and took the lead to walk toward the throne step by step. Every time he took a step, his reiatsu would become stronger!

It wasn’t until Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni reached the throne that he stopped walking. A look of regret and embarra.s.sment flashed in his eyes. His regret was because he had gone in the wrong direction with Uehara Naraku, and the embarra.s.sment was because he was played by another behind-the-scenes manipulator from the 5th division.

“All of this… is a plot by the Uehara clan?”

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni didn’t even ask if Uehara Naraku had sided with a fool like Sosuke Aizen because he knew that Uehara Naraku, who was sitting on the throne, would obviously not submit to others!

“Cough… cough… quickly… run away…”

Before Uehara Naraku could answer, a painful groan fell from the stone pillar first. Hyosube Ichibe, who was tied up on the stone pillar, struggled to lift his head.

As the Leader of Zero Division, Hyosube Ichibe had never been in such a predicament. There were even two wounds on his forehead, and blood dripped down his cheeks bit by bit…

Just uttering a word to remind Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni made Hyosube Ichibe spit out a mouthful of blood, but the Leader of the Zero Division was still suppressing the pain caused by his serious injury and struggled to continue to remind his old friend.

“…Run…Away…”

“…You are not…Their…Opponents…”

“…Run…Leave…Leave this place…”

“‘Cough…Cough…Cough…”

“Ichibe…”

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni raised his head and looked at his old friend. There was a complicated expression on his face. He slowly shook his head and his voice gradually lowered, “When we entered Soul King Palace, no one could escape…”

Yes.

No one could escape.

This was because the entrance to Soul King Palace was guarded by Tobirama and Impure World Reincarnated Army, who had been abandoned by Gotei 13. This sealed dimension was not Gotei 13’s safe house at all, but Gotei 13’s grave!

“Kabuto!”

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni suddenly turned his head back and looked at Kabuto who had come with them. The old man’s eyes revealed a sharp gaze!

“You are… an Uehara Clan member?”

At this moment, Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni figured everything out!

The heart of this Gotei 13 Captain-Commander was unprecedentedly sad and heavy. His eyes stared at Kabuto!

“After finding out Hogyoku, it was you who gave the order to take back Hogyoku in the name of Zero Division… Before the war started, it was you who said that Zero Division would provide support… When we retreated to the Soul King Palace, it was you who took the opportunity to let the Impure World Reincarnate stop at the entrance…”

All of this happened…

Now it seemed to be controlled by someone!

If Kabuto, a member of Zero Division, was a spy, they would be reduced to chess pieces, and they wouldn’t even be able to see even a little bit of fog in the Soul Society!

Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni’s voice slowly lowered, and his body seemed to have completely aged, “No one would have thought that… the Kabuto who the Uehara clan could not wait to be killed was actually a spy of Uehara clan…”

“Yes…”

Kabuto pushed up his gla.s.ses, and the corner of his mouth curved into a playful smile, “If I didn’t show that I was forced into a corner by the Uehara clan, how could I have a chance to join Zero Division?”

“You have been pretending in Seireitei all the time…”

The veins on Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni’s palm bulged bit by bit, showing the uncontrollable anger in this old man’s heart. His cold eyes fell on Uehara Naraku who was sitting on the throne, “The purpose… is for this moment? To wipe out everyone…”

“Yes.”

Uehara Naraku nodded slightly.

Even at this time, Uehara Naraku still had a faint smile on his face. His gaze swept past Yamamoto s.h.i.+gekuni and landed in the direction of the end of the pa.s.sage.

“Our other guest has arrived.”

Uehara Naraku sat on his throne and calmly spread out his palm, “Captain Aizen, there is no need to hide. Aren’t you coveting this throne of heaven? Right now, it is here.”

“…”

At the end of the pa.s.sage, the s.h.i.+nigami Army was in chaos.

Thousands of Gotei 13’s s.h.i.+nigami were directly overturned by a huge impact. Sosuke Aizen and Orochimaru led Arrancar Army and slowly stepped into the empty Soul King Palace.

At this moment…

There really was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back!

However, Sosuke Aizen did not seem to have any intention of fighting with Gotei 13 at this time, because he heard Kabuto’s words!

“It’s really unexpected…”

Sosuke Aizen’s figure slowly flew up. His eyes stared at the area in the center of the square, and the smile on his lips gradually became cold, “I always thought that Mr. Kabuto would be my loyal ally. I didn’t expect him to be a member of the Uehara clan…”

Yes.

Sosuke Aizen didn’t expect it either.

Aizen once thought that Kabuto was the one who recognized him the most!

However, now was not the time to be tangled up with Kabuto.

Sosuke Aizen’s eyes slowly moved as he looked at Uehara Naraku, the person who secretly instructed Kabuto. His eyes also became a little cold, “So…you knew from the very beginning…everything I was going to…”

In the next moment, Sosuke Aizen seemed to have thought of something. He slightly tilted his head and looked at Ichimaru Gin who flew to Kabuto’s side, his gaze becoming colder.

If Kabuto was a member of the Uehara clan…

It seemed that there was no need to think about who Kabuto’s student, Ichimaru Gin, was loyal to.

“It wasn’t just at the beginning…”

Sosuke Aizen slightly bent his fingers and clenched them into a fist. His eyes fell from Ichimaru Gin to Uehara Naraku, “But… always.”

Fortunately…

Aizen himself had never trusted anyone.

Therefore, Sosuke Aizen never told Ichimaru Gin about some top secret things because he already knew that Ichimaru Gin was not trustworthy, so he naturally would not give him absolute trust.

Ichimaru Gin would betray him…

Sosuke Aizen had long been mentally prepared.

Unfortunately…

A person suddenly fell from the sky and stood next to Uehara Naraku, causing Sosuke Aizen’s expression to change again.

Even though Sosuke Aizen had a very low level of trust in this person, and it was even lower than the level of trust between Ichimaru Gin and Kabuto, he was unable to endure this person standing on Uehara Naraku’s side!

The corners of Uehara Naraku’s mouth curled up, and he greeted his subordinates who had returned to his side with a fervent greeting, “Welcome back, Gin, Mr. Orochimaru.”
