The former Black Zetsu was like this.
Now Aizen is the same.
Is it possible that his mind isn't bright enough?
No, now he should be someone standing under the light!
Uehara Naraku looked down at the chaos on the ground between the Shinigami and Hollow, a trace of compassion flickering in his eyes: "Captain... is everything happening in front of me your doing?"
"Yes…"
Aizen Sousuke still held Uehara Naraku's shoulder, a slight smile at the corner of his lips as he said, "The decayed and corrupt Quiet Spirit Court, a dirtier world than the Hollow World, always needs someone to clean it up a bit and let them know that this world has never been…"
Clang!
A fierce flash of sword light interrupted Aizen Sousuke's words!
Uehara Naraku suddenly broke free from Aizen's grip, a Zanpakuto exuding black light appeared unknowingly in his hand, its tip pointing at Aizen Sousuke!
Under Aizen Sousuke's gaze, Uehara Naraku's face was full of confusion and anger: "Captain should know I've never wanted to see such a war… Now you… are starting an innocent war… Captain!"
"I almost forgot."
Aizen Sousuke still wore a smile.
Even with Uehara Naraku pointing a Zanpakuto at him, Aizen Sousuke wasn't flustered, just continued with a smile: "I've said before, the kindness in you is actually a commendable virtue…"
After saying this, Aizen Sousuke's tone shifted, continuing calmly: "But, Naraku, have you recognized the definition of kindness?
If you choose to drive away the wolves to save the sheep of the steppe, and drive away the lions to save the wolves, what would be the final outcome?"
Before Uehara Naraku could respond, Aizen Sousuke gave his own answer: "The end result will seem unsatisfactory because there will always be other animals paying the price.
The steppe would be devoured by sheep, turning into a desert, leading sheep, wolves, and lions to starve one after another, with the endless desert swallowing that once vibrant life."
Aizen Sousuke looked at Uehara Naraku whose expression was changing, smiling while saying cruel words: "You have done nothing wrong, but it would be better if you did nothing at all…"
Aizen Sousuke looked satisfied with Uehara Naraku's face, gradually opened his palm, and urged with a smile: "Naraku, this world isn't as simple as you imagine, the people existing in this world aren't as innocent as you, not everyone has a pure heart like yours to handle everything around them…"
"..."
Uehara Naraku gritted his teeth.
If he didn't bite his teeth now, he was worried that his expression might subtly crumble.
Of course.
The expressions of some people present turned subtle.
Ichimaru Gin, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but lower their heads, their expressions didn't crumble, only their mindset did.
Why did Aizen Sousuke think of Uehara Naraku that way!
"Haven't figured it out yet?"
Aizen Sousuke's smile deepened, he continued softly: "Standing above the sky rewriting the destiny of everything in this world, allowing everything in this world to survive under the sky, that is true kindness…"
"..."
Uehara Naraku's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
In the next moment, the Zanpakuto in his hand slowly lowered.
Just at this moment, a voice reached Uehara Naraku's ears: "Hmph, no matter how flowery your words, someone instigating a bloody war can't possibly relate to kindness, right?"
Senju Tobirama looked at the airborne Aizen Sousuke and Uehara Naraku, sternly shouting: "Grab your own Zanpakuto, Naraku! You are the patriarch of the Uehara Race, don't be confused by what this person in front of you is saying!"
"Tobirama…"
Hearing Tobirama's words, Uehara Naraku tightened his grip on the black sword in his hand, glancing at Aizen Sousuke who still wore a confident smile, as though he grasped the truth of the world.
Looking at Aizen Sousuke, Uehara Naraku couldn't help but turn his head away, as if not daring to face Aizen Sousuke, and whispered: "Even though I know what Captain says is right… but… sorry… that's not what I want."
The next moment!
The Zanpakuto exuding black light was raised again!
The spiritual pressure on Uehara Naraku surged and raged, his voice becoming unprecedentedly firm: "Captain, the future you speak of may be correct! But what I want to do is to stop everything happening right now!"
"No matter what you say…"
"Captain… now you…"
"Have indeed done something wrong!"
Uehara Naraku's voice suddenly became more passionate, as though he had found himself again, he gazed at Aizen Sousuke's eyes, solemnly continuing: "I still remember you once saying… if the captain makes a mistake, I should stop you, regardless of you being the person I respect the most…"
"Really? You remember that stuff…"
Aizen Sousuke's lips curved, he chuckled as he continued: "At that time, I was probably saying that I deeply regretted not stopping Captain Hirako from secretly conducting Hollowfication experiments…"
"..."
Everyone present had a start in their hearts.
They all recalled the Shinigami Hollowfication incident.
There was no need for them to ponder further, everyone present already knew what words Aizen Sousuke would use to strike at Uehara Naraku!
As expected!
Aizen Sousuke's smile became more eerie, his eyes grew deeper as he looked at Uehara Naraku and said: "Did you forget Tosen exposing me in the meeting? Actually, Captain Hirako never privately conducted Shinigami Hollowfication experiments…"
Aizen Sousuke looked down at the ground of Quiet Spirit Court, he already noticed the Masked Legion appearing on the battlefield resisting the Hollows, he continued with a smile: "It's all false, what you heard and saw isn't real…"
"Hirako Shinji didn't conduct any private Hollowfication experiments."
"Urahara Kisuke also didn't privately research Shinigami Hollowfication."
"Everything that happened back then, I implanted the power of Hollow into them, forcing them to Hollowfy and transform into mindless Hollows…"
"So, I was lying to you back then."
Aizen Sousuke glanced at the Zanpakuto in Uehara Naraku's hand, following the black sheen down to Uehara Naraku's face, he watched as Uehara Naraku's expression began to crumble, continuing with a smile: "The Captain Aizen you knew in the past never existed, now, will you still point your blade at the current me?"
"..."
Uehara Naraku's face gradually turned ashen.
At this moment.
No matter who, one cannot help but praise the sharpness of Aizen Sousuke's words, just a sentence could easily crush a person's will.
Aizen Sousuke exploited Uehara Naraku's admiration for him to fundamentally negate Uehara Naraku's reason to raise his sword again.
If it was all false…
Then the belief for Uehara Naraku to hold his sword aloft shouldn't exist either…
After striking down Uehara Naraku, Aizen Sousuke spoke to soothe his emotions: "I've told you, Naraku, as long as you stand by my side, you can see the truth of this world… so, do you now wish to see the real Aizen Sousuke?"
"A frog in a well, thinking it has seen the whole world?"
A domineering voice suddenly appeared over the battlefield!
An overwhelming momentum swept through the battlefield in an instant, suppressing countless Shinigami and Hollows, rendering them unable to move!
Even the powerful Arrancar Hollows couldn't help but shiver all over, and the lower-level Gillian Hollows tried desperately to escape back to the Hollow World through space rifts!
At this moment…
They seemed to feel the killer instinct of a natural enemy!
A vast blue slash flew in from nowhere, knocking hundreds of Arrancar Hollows off their feet with its spiritual pressure, causing them to fall to the ground in disarray!
The vast blue slash crossed the sky, slicing the escaping lower-level Gillian Hollows in the space rift into two, even tearing open the slowly closing space rift, freezing it in place!
A black-haired figure clad in red plate armor appeared like a specter above Quiet Spirit Court, his face full of arrogance, voice dripping with disdain: "With only a glimpse of the world, you dare challenge it?"
