Chapter 674 - Kuchiki Byakuya Who Stay in the Human World
Kuchiki Byakuya was clearly arranged.
In fact, Uehara Naraku did not hate Kuchiki Byakuya, who had a bit of abstinence in both appearance and character. He even had a good impression of Kuchiki Byakuya.
The problem was that Kuchiki Byakuya often habitually told others that the head of the previous generations of the Uehara clan was actually narrow-minded or something…
Secretly speaking ill of people behind their backs…
Was this something that a Shinigami captain should do?
Now, Uehara Naraku had only sealed up Kuchiki Byakuya’s spiritual power and Zanpakuto, allowing him to experience the life of an ordinary person. This was already considered lenient.
“Hey, Uehara!”
Abarai Renji hurried a few steps forward. Holding his Zanpakuto, he stood in front of Uehara Naraku and explained, “We are here to capture Rukia under orders…”
As he said this, Abarai Renji’s eyes fell on Kurosaki Ichigo, who had already recovered. He continued to explain, “It’s just that this guy and his companions came to stop us. That’s why the captain attacked this guy…”
This reason was enough to deal with anyone.
If Kuchiki Byakuya was not too cold and aloof, but directly reported his reasons to his superiors, Uehara Naraku should not have made a move.
No, it should be said that Abarai Renji explained too late. As a lieutenant, he should be the one to explain this conflict!
After all…
Uehara Naraku and Kuchiki Byakuya were both captains of Gotei 13. They should be existences on the same level. According to Kuchiki Byakuya’s proud personality, he naturally needed someone to help him explain.
Unfortunately, Abarai Renji did not have that brain.
To be precise, Abarai Renji thought that Uehara Naraku was his cla.s.smate and friend. He was not used to explaining to his cla.s.smate or friend. Now that his captain was sealed, Abarai Renji hurriedly explain the reason.
“Is that so?”
Uehara Naraku frowned. He turned his head slightly and looked at Kuchiki Rukia. He then looked at Kurosaki Ichigo and said softly, “Human youth, do you have anything to say?”
“Ah?”
Kurosaki Ichigo was surprised for a second.
Kurosaki Ichigo still did not know the ident.i.ty of the person in front of him.
Just as Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and was about to speak, Kuchiki Rukia stood in front of him with a nervous expression and said first, “Captain Naraku, all of this has nothing to do with Ichigo… It’s my own fault!”
“Hey, Rukia, I…”
“Shut up!”
Kuchiki Rukia interrupted Kurosaki Ichigo and continued in a deep voice, “Elder Brother and Renji are only here to carry out their mission… It has nothing to do with them…”
This idiot Ichigo!
This was definitely not the time for him to interrupt!
“Did I do something wrong?”
There seemed to be some shame in Uehara Naraku’s eyes.
“It’s fine.”
Kuchiki Byakuya glanced at Uehara Naraku. His expression was still calm, “As long as the seal is removed, it will be fine.”
Uehara Naraku frowned slightly. He walked toward Kuchiki Byakuya with an apologetic expression on his face, as if he wanted to walk over and undo the seal on Kuchiki Byakuya.
However, at this time…
A s.p.a.ce vortex appeared and two figures appeared beside Uehara Naraku. Itachi and Obito suddenly appeared.
Itachi suddenly grabbed Uehara Naraku’s arm and stopped him, “Lord Naraku, please remember your ident.i.ty. How can you lower your head to the head of the Kuchiki clan…”
“Hmm?”
“Your ident.i.ty.”
Obito stood beside Itachi and said coldly, “As the head of the Uehara clan, this is not what you should do!”
These two…
They always came out when Uehara Naraku was on the weak end!
Now that Uehara Naraku wanted to apologize and released the seal on Kuchiki Byakuya, the two of them suddenly jumped out!
“Kuchiki Byakuya is guilty.”
Itachi looked at Kuchiki Byakuya, and a red light flashed, “As the head of the Kuchiki Clan, he is not respectful to Lord Naraku…”
Itachi looked at Kuchiki Byakuya coldly and continued in a deep voice, “Tolerance is Lord Naraku’s gift… I hope that Sir Byakuya will remember that the first ident.i.ty of our lord is the head of the Uehara Clan, who is also a n.o.ble!”
“…”
What the h.e.l.l was this reason?
From the looks of it, the status of the Uehara Clan and the Four n.o.ble Families should be equal. All along, it was only because of the strength of the Uehara clan that Four n.o.ble Families would shrink back a little. However, this was not the reason for Uehara’s clan to bully others!
According to the agreement between Seireitei and Uehara clan, only attacking Uehara Naraku would be considered as breaking the agreement, right? How could Itachi bully others with his power?
This time, it was Uehara Naraku who took the initiative to attack without distinguishing between right and wrong!
Just because their family head, Uehara Naraku, wanted to apologize, Itachi, came out to find a random reason to save face?
Isn’t this too much of a bully?
Everyone present had an ugly expression on their faces. Kurosaki Ichigo’s expression became more and more surprised as he looked back and forth in everyone’s eyes.
Especially when it fell on Uehara Naraku…
This person called Uehara Naraku seemed to be a little troublesome!
“Small punishment.”
Obito’s voice was a bit hoa.r.s.e, but it was cold as if he was p.r.o.nouncing, “Sealing the head of the Kuchiki clan’s spiritual power for a month and living in Human World to experience the life of an ordinary person. As a punishment for the Kuchiki clan… I think the head of the Kuchiki clan should accept this, right?”
“Wait…”
Uehara Naraku was a little surprised and immediately opened his mouth to stop him, “Senior Byakuya, is also the captain of Gotei 13…”
“I accept it.”
Kuchiki Byakuya calmly lowered his head.
Sometimes, as the head of the Kuchiki Clan, he should never bow his head; Sometimes, as the head of the Kuchiki Clan, he had to bow his head.
Although it looked a little humiliating…
Kuchiki Byakuya had already understood the hidden meaning behind Obito’s words. If he did not lower his head, the Kuchiki Clan might face the impact of the Uehara Clan!
This was an unexpected disaster!
“That would be for the best.”
Under Obito’s tiger-patterned mask, his voice gradually became clearer.
To tell the truth…
Although it looks like Obito was very impressive…
However, Obito still felt like cursing in his heart.
He had already figured out their ident.i.ty. Whenever Uehara Naraku wanted to be a good person, he would ask him and Itachi to come out and sing a red face and be the bad guys…
This was also a good thing that the two of them were only pa.s.sers-by in this world… If they were in the ninja world, who would be able to take so much blame for no reason?
Of course…
Obito had already endured this kind of thing.
“Let’s go!”
Obito and Itachi’s figures turned into spatial whirlpools and disappeared. Their appearance seemed to be to help suppress Kuchiki Byakuya.
This is…
It was a bit of a bully.
And Kuchiki Byakuya, who had just experienced suppression of the Death Attendant of the Uehara clan, still had the same expression on his face. He did not even have the slightest expression of being humiliated.
The always cold and aloof Shinigami captain only glanced at everyone present and softly ordered, “Renji, bring Rukia back for interrogation…”
“Captain, what about you?”
“I want to stay in the Human World for a while.”
“But…”
“There is no but. I have already promised.”
Kuchiki Byakuya coldly cut off Abarai Renji’s words. His eyes fell on Uehara Naraku and slowly shifted his gaze away.
Abarai Renji had no choice but to take Kuchiki Rukia away first.
Before leaving, Abarai Renji entrusted Uehara Naraku with a sentence, hoping that he could help protect Kuchiki Byakuya when he was patrolling the Human World.
Although the 13 Death Servants of the Uehara Clan did not seem to be good people, Uehara Naraku was still quite reliable in Abarai Renji’s eyes.
Uehara Naraku seemed to be a little guilty, and naturally would not refuse Abarai Renji’s request. He seemed to be planning to stay with Kuchiki Byakuya to protect his safety.
Only four people were left at the scene.
Uehara Naraku, Kuchiki Byakuya whose spiritual power was sealed, Kurosaki Ichigo, and the seriously injured Quincy Ishida Uryu.
Kuchiki Byakuya did not stop.
Even if he lost his spiritual power, he did not lose his character strength. He did not say anything more and left the place directly as if he did not care if Uehara Naraku would protect him.
“Kurosaki Ichigo.”
Kurosaki Ichigo took the lead and walked toward Uehara Naraku, sincerely thanking him, “I am Kurosaki Ichigo. Thank you for saving me just now…”
“You are welcome.”
Uehara Naraku narrowed his eyes slightly and revealed a gentle smile, “I am Uehara Naraku, a Shinigami from Gotei 13… Maybe I will stay in Human World this month. If there is any trouble, I would like to ask Mr. Ichigo to give me some advice.”
“Ah, you are too polite…”
This was the first time Kurosaki Ichigo had seen such a kind Shinigami. Even compared to Kuchiki Rukia, Uehara Naraku’s friendly att.i.tude seems to be beyond imagination.
Especially…
This guy’s ident.i.ty seemed to be extraordinary. The Kuchiki Byakuya who severely injured him just now seemed to be unwilling to provoke him!
This person’s ident.i.ty…
He had to find someone to inquire about it!
He felt that no matter if it was in terms of strength or status, this guy was not easy to deal with. He was even more troublesome than Kuchiki Byakuya!
Fortunately.
Although Kuchiki Rukia had left, Kurosaki Ichigo had gotten to know many people, including Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi, who was stationed in seclusion in Human World’s camp!
Whether it was to regain Shinigami’s power or to find a way to save Rukia, Kurosaki Ichigo also needs to contact Urahara Kisuke…
Kurosaki Ichigo did not know.
Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi were hiding in the surroundings.
It was only after Kuchiki Byakuya left Uehara Naraku’s line of sight that Shihoin Yoruichi appeared in front of Kuchiki Byakuya. Her face was full of teasing smiles as she said, “Oh, let me guess, why do you want to use this opportunity to stay with Human World? To save your sister?”
“It’s you?”
A cold light flashed in Kuchiki Byakuya’s eyes as he called out Shihoin Yoruichi’s nickname, “Cat Monster, I don’t understand what you mean.”
