Which student's family sends them out with guards!
Matsumoto Rangiku wouldn't really continue along Uehara Naraku's line of questioning, she still remembered the serious expression on Ichimaru Gin's face when he mentioned Uehara Naraku.
Under no circumstances could she bring trouble to their orphanage head, Yakushi Kabuto, absolutely no excuse could be left for the Uehara Race to make things difficult for Director Yakushi Kabuto!
Shiba Ishin had no such concerns, he didn't mind the look from his Vice Captain at all, and cheerfully patted Uehara Naraku's shoulder: "It would be great if little Naraku could join the 10th Squad after graduation..."
When Shiba Ishin said this, he touched his chin: "Besides, Rangiku just discovered a nice little guy, if little Naraku could also join, we'd have two gifted newcomers!"
"Captain, don't say such silly things!"
Matsumoto Rangiku's forehead couldn't help but twitch.
Everyone knew this was absolutely impossible.
Because all high-level officials were very aware, given Uehara Naraku's status, if he couldn't become a captain due to his timid nature, the most likely squad he would join should be the 1st Squad personally commanded by General Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni.
"My apologies, Lord Naraku, our Captain was very rude."
Matsumoto Rangiku clasped her hands and slowly bowed her head to Uehara Naraku, expressing a courteous apology: "We have to go carry out our mission, so we must part ways for now."
"Well then... until we meet again."
Uehara Naraku waved his hand with a smile, strolling into the Quiet Spirit Court with his guards Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito.
Atop the high tower of the Quiet Spirit Court.
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni stood here.
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni was the pinnacle of death deities in the entire Soul Society, not only due to his position but also because of his strength; he was the strongest death deity in the entire Soul Society!
The Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka...
It was said to be able to incinerate everything in the world!
If this old man were to unleash his fire-type Zanpakuto, the entire Soul Society might not be enough for his chaos...
This old man...
Is absolutely the strongest death deity in the Soul Society!
Atop the high tower of the Quiet Spirit Court.
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni gazed at the slowly strolling-in Uehara Naraku and his two companions from afar, gently closing his eyes and murmuring: "The little guy seems more approachable than we thought..."
"Indeed..."
A figure walked up beside Yamamoto Shigekuni, adjusted the glasses on his nose, and spoke with a light laugh: "This could be seen since Lord Naraku enrolled... Though my relations with the Uehara Race are quite strained, I must admit, Naraku's kindness indeed makes one feel no animosity."
"Yakushi Kabuto."
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni turned his head slightly, looking at the silver-haired youth beside him, his brows slightly furrowed: "I hope you truly think so, as Uehara Naraku seems to have encountered several assassination attempts lately..."
"I really know nothing about that."
Yakushi Kabuto quickly shook his head, lightly smiling as he asked in return: "Is the General suspecting me? I have no reason to harm someone willing to show me kindness..."
"It better be this way."
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni's eyes suddenly opened, releasing a strong Spiritual Pressure from his body, stifling Yakushi Kabuto so he couldn't move!
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni's voice gradually became sharp as he continued, solemnly: "Even someone as dull as me has sensed the undercurrents in the Soul Society. Among those who possess the Reanimation Jutsu, only you and Uehara Naraku remain within the Soul Society..."
"This is really baseless talk..."
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses with a smile, continuing to argue: "Didn't the previous family heads of the Uehara Race also possess the Reanimation Jutsu?"
"No."
A fierce light flashed in Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni's eyes as he continued in a low voice: "As a member of the Zero Squad, you should know the secret of the Uehara Race... Ever since adulthood, the death deities of their race have always only numbered one."
Yakushi Kabuto's expression remained unchanged as he leisurely voiced instead of Yamamoto Shigekuni: "Indeed... the secret of that race... The reason why every family head of the Uehara Race has such a short lifespan yet is so powerful is precisely because they have a heritage Secret Technique...
Every generation of the Uehara Race's family head, upon their descendant's coming of age, sacrifices their own soul, sealing their Spiritual Power within the death deity of their closest bloodline, allowing the descendant to quickly gain formidable power, thus eternally securing their aristocratic status..."
So...
All along, the Uehara Race nearly had only one true member, while the thousands of death deities, even the Thirteen Deadguard, were merely attendants of the Uehara Race!
As for the secret of the Uehara Race's heritage, it was discovered by a little fellow named Urahara Kisuke, in a fragmentary manuscript of Kinjutsu left behind many years ago by Orochimaru.
It only contained the effect of the Kinjutsu.
This fragmentary manuscript was what made the high-level officials in the Soul Society realize that the Uehara Race might be using such a heritage secret...
At that time, the entire high-level of the Soul Society was almost frightened.
They couldn't imagine that the heads of the Uehara Race would go so far as to sacrifice their everything for their family; this courage alone was enough to warrant their status as the most flourishing noble house in the Soul Society!
Originally, this secret could have been leveraged...
But unfortunately, the marriage and offspring of the Uehara Race's family head were confidential.
Before announcing a change of family head, almost no one in the Soul Society knew whether the family head had married or had children; this race seemed to understand their own weakness.
