Chapter 630 - Forest of Menos Crush Plan Start!
The subordinate that Sosuke Aizen valued the most was Black Zetsu.
Because in Sosuke Aizen’s eyes, Black Zetsu was a product of his failed experiment in creating Hogyoku. He was a creature who had recognized him as its master since birth.
Until now, Sosuke Aizen had never let Black Zetsu appear in front of others to hide Black Zetsu’s ability and let Black Zetsu gather intelligence for him.
In fact…
Black Zetsu had never let Sosuke Aizen down.
Apart from Uehara Clan’s information, the reason why Sosuke Aizen was able to use Shinigami to create Hogyoku so smoothly was that Black Zetsu had provided him with enough information.
Dozens of years ago…
When Sosuke Aizen framed Urahara Kisuke, Hirako Shinji, and the others, he also got Black Zetsu’s help. This subordinate that he had personally created had truly allowed Aizen to obtain quite a bit of convenience. It had also become one of his trump cards to monitor the others.
However, what Sosuke Aizen did not know was…
Black Zetsu, who he had always thought of as a trump card, had now appeared in Orochimaru’s study room and was currently meeting up with Orochimaru.
“Uehara Naraku… huh?”
When Orochimaru saw Black Zetsu, his expression became a little strange.
Originally, when Orochimaru returned to his base, he felt that he was about to go crazy from anger. However, when he saw Black Zetsu, his mood gradually calmed down…
Alright.
There was no need to look.
In the end, Orochimaru already knew who did this.
Orochimaru slowly grinned and licked his lips. With a sinister smile, he said, “Looks like I should be able to obtain the information in Sosuke Aizen’s hands…”
“Hohohoho…”
Black Zetsu grinned and took out a doc.u.ment bag from his body and threw it to Orochimaru, “Hagoromo asked me to transfer this information to you. Our plan is going smoothly. I hope you won’t disappoint his trust in you…”
“…”
Orochimaru took the doc.u.ment bag with a strange expression.
Because of Black Zetsu’s reminder, Orochimaru became more and more clear-headed. He was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Uehara’s private arrangements, but he still did not have the qualifications to resist…
When he saw Orochimaru open the doc.u.ment bag containing Sosuke Aizen’s evaluation, Black Zetsu laughed sinisterly from the side and said, “The things here were written by Hagoromo personally… It is definitely the most realistic evaluation of that little brat Sosuke Aizen.”
“Hehehe… Is that so?”
Orochimaru just looked down at the doc.u.ment in his hand.
In fact, this doc.u.ment should not be called a doc.u.ment, but a comprehensive a.n.a.lysis of Sosuke Aizen.
Just the opening…
Orochimaru could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
“The Story of Sosuke Aizen?” What kind of strange t.i.tle was this? Orochimaru’s first thought was this thing written by that guy Jiraiya?
However, as Orochimaru continued reading…
He gradually realized that there was something missing…
In Uehara’s evaluation, he gave Sosuke Aizen an extremely high evaluation. He even thought that Sosuke Aizen really had the ability to overturn everything.
On the other hand, Orochimaru had always thought that Sosuke Aizen was a chess piece… a chess piece that they controlled in their hands.
This was the difference in essence.
Or rather, this was the difference in their knowledge!
Although Uehara had always treated Sosuke Aizen as a chess piece, in this information, Sosuke Aizen had already surpa.s.sed the qualifications of a chess piece and become a chess player!
This was too fake…
No wonder Sosuke Aizen liked this information so much because this information was full of praise for Sosuke Aizen. Of course, it was also inevitably mixed with some private goods…
For example…
Sosuke Aizen always longed for companions in his heart. Even if Tosen Kaname was stupid and ignorant, even if Ichimaru Gin had ulterior motives, even if Ulquiorra was cruel and ruthless, even if Starrk was lazy, maybe there was also that cowardly and incompetent little guy Uehara Naraku…
This f*cking…
He praised Aizen in front…
Why did he start to dig a hole in the back?
“…”
The corners of Orochimaru’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch. After he slowly destroyed the doc.u.ment in his hand, his expression became calm once again.
Orochimaru slowly raised his head and looked at Black Zetsu. His eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered, “Hehe… Although I know that all of this is for the sake of successfully implementing the plan… I hope that before that fellow plans against me the next time, it would be best to let me know in advance… After all, we are now on the same side!”
“Figure out your ident.i.ty, Orochimaru…”
Black Zetsu looked at Orochimaru and grinned, “If you don’t want to, you can leave… I believe that there will be many people willing to take over your position and stand with us… Hagoromo will never lack followers.”
Black Zetsu looked at Orochimaru’s gloomy face and slowly continued, “Orochimaru, don’t let Hagoromo down… You can appear in this world because Kabuto used his achievements in a.s.sisting Hagoromo to conquer a world…”
If not for Kabuto’s plea…
Uehara would never agree to release Orochimaru so easily, even though Uehara had been using Orochimaru ever since he released him…
Five days pa.s.sed.
Time pa.s.sed by in a flash.
Orochimaru never came back.
Sosuke Aizen did not care.
However, Nelliel sent the news. Orochimaru needed to deal with their internal affairs, but Orochimaru would appear in the last round.
During this period of time, Sosuke Aizen had been observing the second round that Arrancar partic.i.p.ated in. He was quite interested in a few of them with unique abilities…
Until the fifth day ended…
The winners of the second round were finally released.
There were a total of twenty winners who entered the last round.
This ratio was really too low compared to over one hundred and eighty partic.i.p.ants.
However, the second round was very interesting. It allowed those Arrancar to work together to fight, nurturing the tacit understanding between them. Among them, there was no lack of two Arrancar who directly crushed their opponents through cooperation. This kind of exam was indeed very useful.
It had to be said that…
Sosuke Aizen was becoming more and more respectful to Orochimaru.
Just the exam of the new Arrancar could do so many tricks. It was much better compared to the tests that Soul Society did to train Shinigami…
Moreover, the cooperation between Arrancar was smoother than the cooperation between Shinigami. Perhaps they had long been accustomed to this kind of fighting side by side.
The perfect cooperation between two Arrancar…
It was definitely not as simple as 1+1=2!
It had to be said that Orochimaru was very dedicated to the development of these Arrancar. Even the arrogant Adjuchas-cla.s.s Menos would learn to cooperate with his companions.
Just after the second round of examination ended, a group of Gillian-cla.s.s Menos opened their mouths and spewed out Cero to create a piece of flat land in Forest of Menos, making it the venue for the third round.
This was also the last examination…
Without a doubt, it will be the most exciting!
The third round will be an individual battle, which also means that these Menos will be able to bring out their greatest strength and show their results to Orochimaru!
Sosuke Aizen looked at the image displayed on the screen and smiled, “Alright, get ready to start our plan!”
Although he and Orochimaru both had the intention to cooperate in their hearts…
However, the main order of their cooperation had to be carefully divided… No, it was not cooperation, but a merger of forces.
This conflict that was about to erupt was bound to be unstoppable!
Sosuke Aizen wanted to use this opportunity to defeat Orochimaru and all the forces under his command in one fell swoop, taking in the final hidden danger in Hueco Mundo!
As long as he took in Orochimaru…
Not only did it mean that Sosuke Aizen could save a lot of time, but he could also take this opportunity to obtain a powerful army and have the qualifications to contend with the entire Soul Society!
“Hehe… is it finally going to start?”
Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes and smiled as he took a step forward.
All along, Ichimaru Gin should be the most clear-headed person on the field. In fact, compared to Ulquiorra and Coyote Starrk, Ichimaru Gin knew a little more. He was looking forward to the conflict that would erupt
“Oh, are we really going to carry out that dangerous plan?”
Coyote Starrk rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows and couldn’t help but mutter, “The enemies have all gathered here… There are hundreds of Arrancar on the field alone… This force is shocking just by looking at it!”
It was clearly an extremely strong Vasto Lorde-cla.s.s Arrancar…
However, Coyote Starrk could not muster up any energy at all!
However, the people present seemed to understand his character and did not care about what Coyote Starrk said. This guy felt a little too modest…
“There is no need to care.”
Ulquiorra held the Zanpakuto at his waist and said coldly, “Other than that Nelliel, there is no one else worth mentioning on the field…”
“That’s right.”
Tosen Kaname nodded indifferently.
“Don’t let your guard down too much…”
Sosuke Aizen reached out and covered half of his face, revealing a mysterious smile, “Orochimaru is the senior who once left a legend in Soul Society for thousands of years. Who knows how many Arrancar he has nurtured in this thousands of years…”
Just as the others thought that Sosuke Aizen was going to remind them to be careful, the topic of Sosuke Aizen’s painting suddenly changed, and there was a hint of arrogance in his voice, “But in front of us, there is indeed no worthy opponent…”
After he finished speaking, Aizen slowly stood up.
Just at this time, an Arrancar knocked on the door of the lounge and said softly, “Lord Aizen, Lord Orochimaru invites you to go to a high place to watch the battle…”
“I got it.”
Sosuke Aizen nodded slowly.
At the top of the audience seats for the third round.
Orochimaru sat there quietly, waiting for Sosuke Aizen to arrive. His face could not help but flash with a touch of absurdity. He felt like he had experienced this scene before!
No… it was not that he had experienced it before!
It was his sensei, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had experienced it before!
If he was not mistaken…
Sosuke Aizen should be carrying out the Forest of Menos Crush Plan in the third round, just like the Konoha Crush Plan that Orochimaru had once launched…
It was really ironic to think about it…
“Hmph…”
Orochimaru glanced at Sosuke Aizen who was walking over. A hint of disdain flashed across his face, “That guy Uehara… Don’t tell me that he really thought that I would be easily dealt with by this brat Sosuke Aizen and everything I have would become that brat’s powerful nourishment?!”
He had been in this world for so many years…
Orochimaru was very clear about his flaws, so he replenished his strength bit by bit. He was still trying to fuse the power of the two worlds…
To be honest…
If there were no Uehara Naraku and Uehara Clan in this world, Orochimaru would have dared to rely on his own strength and the Arrancar armies created by him to directly attack Soul Society and kill his way into Soul King Palace to seize the Soul King’s body!
If not for the fact that he couldn’t see through Uehara and was worried that he would be liquidated by Uehara if he tried… Orochimaru actually really wanted to test how much strength Uehara had!
However, after thinking about how many cards he had in his hands, Orochimaru inevitably discovered that the cards in his hands were all given to him by Uehara…
“Mr. Orochimaru.”
The corners of Sosuke Aizen’s mouth still hung a gentlemanly smile. He slowly sat down on the chair next to Orochimaru and adjusted his gla.s.ses, “This exam is about to come to an end. We should get down to business…”
“…”
The corners of Orochimaru’s mouth curled up. He turned to look at the two Arrancar who were fighting on the field and said with a low smile, “Hmph, there’s no hurry. Let me see if these little fellows under me have improved…”
“I feel like there’s no need for that anymore…”
Sosuke Aizen shook his head and said with a chuckle, “Although I have to admit that Mr. Orochimaru is very outstanding in Arrancar’s research, and these Menos have also broadened my horizons, I have to say that they can only be used to deal with some small characters…”
When he said this, Sosuke Aizen turned to look at Orochimaru, and the smile on his face became more and more intense, “If they meet other existences like us in the world, they will definitely still be a bunch of useless trash. I believe that Mr. Orochimaru will have the same opinion as me, right?”
“…”
Orochimaru slowly fell into silence.
Yes, what Sosuke Aizen said was the truth.
These Arrancar may be able to attack Soul Society or even defeat Gotei 13, but they might not be able to take a step forward under Gotei 13’s Captain-Commander, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni’s Ryujin Jakka …
Just as Sosuke Aizen wanted to say something, the corners of Orochimaru’s mouth suddenly revealed a strange smile, “Hmph, I never placed my hopes on them. Back then, when I created them, I only thought that it would be too lonely if no audience saw what I did when I stepped onto the supreme throne in the future…”
“…”
Sosuke Aizen’s expression was slightly surprised.
In the next moment, the new generation mastermind behind the scene slowly nodded, as if he was praising, “That’s right. The road to the top is indeed lonely. If there is no audience, it is indeed unsatisfactory…”
“…”
The smile at the corner of Orochimaru’s mouth became more and more strange.
He really didn’t expect that Uehara really knows Sosuke Aizen. What he casually said was according to the information given by Uehara…
“However, the most important thing is to step in the top first.”
Sosuke Aizen slowly reached out to touch his gla.s.ses and whispered softly, “If possible, I really don’t want to make a move against Mr. Orochimaru…”
The next moment…
A burst of reiatsu suddenly burst out from Sosuke Aizen’s body!
A Zanpakuto sword light flashed out from Sosuke Aizen’s hand in an instant and suddenly crossed over Orochimaru’s neck. Sosuke Aizen was so fierce and sinister when he made a move!
