Uranari howled in agony amidst the Amaterasu Black Flame!
Because the Amaterasu seemed to burn within the very soul of his being, scorching every part of his body inch by inch, as if it wanted to utterly reduce him to nothingness!
This kind of pain…
Is extremely hard to bear!
"Elder Uranari!"
Uehara Naraku looked at the burning Uranari, a flash of pain appearing on his face, and his voice seemed suppressed by his own sorrow, speaking in a somber tone, "Mr. Itachi, please retract your Amaterasu flame…"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment.
The next second, Uchiha Itachi shook his head slowly, gazing coldly at the Uranari engulfed by the Amaterasu, he spoke indifferently, "Lord Naraku, according to the pact between us and the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads, the third seated officer of the 5th Squad should be judged as a traitor, and we can dispose of him ourselves…"
After speaking, Uchiha Itachi cast his gaze upon Aizen Sousuke, his spiritual pressure slowly began to rise, "Captain of the 5th Squad, Lord Aizen Sousuke, you seem to have violated the agreement between us and the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads…"
Indeed.
A mysterious pact exists between the Uehara Race and the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads.
Anyone attempting to assassinate Uehara Naraku will be viewed as trying to incite internal conflict within the Quiet Spirit Court, bearing charges of undermining the Quiet Spirit Court and Soul Society.
"I apologize."
Aizen Sousuke's face showed a hint of apology, he spoke softly, "I didn't notice Uranari's actions just now, thank you for acting in time…"
Of course.
Aizen Sousuke is quite wary of Uchiha Itachi before him, he knows part of the information about Uchiha Itachi, and also some about Uchiha Obito.
These two enigmatic Deadguards do not rank high among the Thirteen Deadguard, but Aizen Sousuke wouldn't underestimate them, especially since these two with the surname Uchiha definitely have ties to the top-ranked Uchiha Madara among the Thirteen Deadguard…
That name isn't very conspicuous in the Soul Society.
However, that name is truly renowned within the Hollow World!
It's said that long ago, the Thirteen Deadguard of the Uehara Race once pursued a certain person, entering the Hollow World, slaughtering countless Hollows, forcing the entire Hollow World's Hollows into the underground Hollow Forest just to survive…
The most notorious among them…
Is Uchiha Madara within the Thirteen Deadguard!
When Aizen Sousuke conquered the Hollow World, he learned some things about the Thirteen Deadguard from the mouths of some Hollows, like Uchiha Madara's abilities…
It's said that guy…
Had truly achieved Shinigami Hollowfication long ago!
Uchiha Madara, the leader of the Thirteen Deadguard, is also one that Aizen especially fears, even more so than Urahara Kisuke, because the Uehara Race's Shinigami Hollowfication experiments may have advanced ahead!
This makes Aizen believe…
The Uehara Race had long secretly conducted Hollowfication experiments on the Thirteen Deadguard.
The Uehara Race's lead in Hollowfication experiments has also made Aizen Sousuke always want to find an opportunity to stir up a war between the Soul Society and the Uehara Race, in order to eliminate the Uehara Race!
Unfortunately…
Central 46 cannot decide everything.
The relationship between the Uehara Race and the Quiet Spirit Court is so complex that only Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and the Zero Squad have the authority to decide, because the stakes are too high, Central 46 and the Four Great Noble Clans only have advisory power on this matter.
However.
At least Aizen Sousuke can still speak equally with the Thirteen Deadguard.
Uehara Naraku seemed a bit tense when meeting Uchiha Itachi, as if somewhat fearful of the Deadguard before him, appearing as a patriarch bound by his retainers!
Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Itachi, speaking softly, "Mr. Itachi, but I was merely sparring with Elder Uranari, he did not intend to ambush me…"
Saying this, Uehara Naraku looked at the Uranari scorched by the Amaterasu flame, his face showed a hint of pity, and he spoke in a somber tone, "Mr. Itachi, please retract the Amaterasu!"
"..."
A strange conflict flashed across Uchiha Itachi's face.
In the next moment, Uchiha Itachi's voice became more indifferent, even faintly showing some disappointment, "Lord Naraku…this is not the compassion of a patriarch!"
Just as Uchiha Itachi finished speaking, Uchiha Obito, wearing a mask, opened a crimson Sharingan, staring intently at Uehara Naraku, causing Uehara Naraku to involuntarily step back half a pace.
Uchiha Obito gazed at Uehara Naraku, speaking as if warning, "Lord Naraku, you should remember the family rules of the Uehara Race…"
Uchiha Obito's voice was particularly sinister compared to Uchiha Itachi, showing no fear of Uehara Naraku's identity as patriarch.
Seeing the slight flinch on Uehara Naraku's face, Uchiha Obito then spoke coldly, "For the safety of the Uehara Race, as the ultimate force of the clan, the Thirteen Deadguard has the right to refuse unreasonable orders from the patriarch who is less than a hundred years old…"
"You…"
Anger flashed across Uehara Naraku's face, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"When Lord Naraku grows up, you will naturally understand our intentions…"
Uchiha Itachi seemed to sense the confrontational atmosphere between the two, speaking softly, "Lord Naraku, after you have settled for another eighty years, we will unconditionally follow your every command.
In respect of your will, the Thirteen Deadguard has backed down enough, otherwise you wouldn't be allowed to join the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads…only your safety, is something we absolutely cannot overlook lightly.
