The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 429 - 429

[POV Reo] 

I decided to make some food for Hela as she was coming back… even though she wanted to slaughter everyone in the Naruto World just for fun, Death decided that Hela's intervention wouldn't be necessary. 

So, Hela was going to arrive with a sullen look on her face… so I decided to cheer her up with a nice meal. So, I accelerated the Time inside our house… when I was almost done, I turned back the Time to normal. 

As expected Hela arrived only after a couple of minutes… I was adding the finishing touches. "Husband! I am back!" Hela exclaimed as she made her way towards the kitchen. 

"I am glad… I missed you" I said with a grin when she finally entered the kitchen. 

"You have no idea how much I have missed you, husband!" Hela exclaimed and hugged me from behind as she pressed her breasts on my back. 

Her hands started to explore my chest and abs… she started to sniff my neck. It was clear what she wanted.. 

"You know, I really want to bend you over the table as I ravage you from behind but you should eat first…" I said with a lopsided grin on my face. 

Hela raised her delicate eyebrow as she gave me a questioning look. "...I do feel hungry, so what have you made for me, husband?" Hela asked as she looked over my shoulder. 

"Ah!" Hela exclaimed excitedly as she picked up the plate and went over to the table. She picked up a knife and fork and started to eat the steak with a gleeful look on her face. 

"So… how was your training?" I asked as I sat down on the opposite side of her. 

"Good… I learned a lot of things from her" Hela said while chewing. "She said there wasn't anything new she could teach me… I needed to learn through experience" Hela continued as I simply nodded my head. 

"So, what are you going to do now?" I asked and Hela simply shrugged. 

"Don't know… maybe laze around. Those little Quincies are yet to come out of their little hideyholes" Hela grumbled with an annoyed look on her face. 

"Don't worry… things are about to get messy. I am pretty sure that you won't be lacking any entertainment" I said mysteriously with a knowing smile on my face… 

[8th Division, Seireitei] 

"Are you sure about this Jushiro?" Shunsui Kyoraku asked in a worried tone. 

"Honestly, I don't know. That is why I came to meet you after receiving the message" Jushiro Ukitake said in a calm tone. 

"I am not worried about you going but I am worried about your health, my friend" Shunsui Kyoraku said while giving his friend a worried glance. 

"I am somewhat fine now…" Jushiro Ukitake said in a reassuring tone. 

"So, what did the message say?" Shunsui Kyoraku asked and Jushiro Ukitake pulled out the message from his robes and handed it to Shunsui. 

'Please meet, it is urgent, a new threat is looming over the horizon of Soul Society. 

I will be waiting for you in the 23rd West Rukongai. Meet me in 6 hours. 

-K. U.'

"That isn't much… but can we trust Urahara?" Shunsui asked and Jushiro shook his head. 

"I understand your reluctance but remember that Yoruichi Shihouin decided to accompany him… I don't think he is a bad guy" Jushiro said and Shunsui lowered his head. Jushiro did have a point and he always thought that something was amiss. 

"Fine… but I will be accompanying you" Shunsui said in a serious tone. Jushiro also nodded his head as he knew that his friend was really stubborn when he was like this…

[5th Division, Seireitei] 

"Were you able to locate Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin?" Sosuke Aizen asked with a small smile on his face. 

"Apologies, Aizen-sama. I didn't leave any stone unturned on the 15th north of Rukongai but I wasn't able to find either of them" Kaname Tousen said with an apologetic look on his face. 

Aizen waved him off… "Don't worry, Kisuke Urahara had a knack for hiding in plain sight. You may leave Tousen" Aizen said and Tousen left after bowing his head. 

Aizen didn't know why but something felt off. Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin had been hiding in the Human World for all these years so why did they reveal themselves now??

Were they able to find something regarding his plans? 'No… that can't be. My plans are impeccable' Aizen assured himself as a smile appeared on his face. 

'Though they might try to tell the others about me… It won't matter though as they have no proof and they are also wanted criminals' Aizen mused with a small grin on his face. 

All of a sudden a frown appeared on his face as he noticed the spiritual pressure of Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku leaving the Soul Society… 'So, Urahara must have contacted them, but why?' Aizen pondered. 

He couldn't send Kaname Tousen as he just returned to Seireitei and prolonged absence could get noticed by the other Captains or the Captain-Commander. 

Captain-Commander was the only one with who he wasn't confident enough to engage in a direct battle. 'I need to find out why Kisuke Urahara decided to reveal himself now' Aizen mused as he got up from his table. 

Aizen used Flash Step to get out of Seireitei. He started to follow Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake… both of them were heading towards West Rukongai. 

They finally arrived in the 23rd part of West Rukongai and that is when everything went wrong for Sosuke Aizen. All of a sudden both Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake disappeared from his sight. 

He couldn't even feel their spiritual pressure. Aizen immediately knew that Kisuke Urahara was involved. 'He must have prepared some type of barrier' Aizen thought as he decided to look around but didn't find anything. 

After half an hour Aizen finally decided to leave. Staying here won't help him… he could have done something if he could have located the Bakudo Matrix. Once again Sosuke Aizen praised Kisuke Urahara for his brilliance before leaving. 

'For now, I have something else to worry about' Aizen thought as he remembered the report he had received a couple of days ago. 

Apparently, someone had entered the Forest of Menos undetected and then escaped undetected. That was a problem… Aizen didn't want anybody to find out the existence of Arrancars, he didn't want to reveal his cards so soon. 

That is why he had decided to send a team of Arrancars to check… he knew it was overkill but he didn't want to have any variables in his plans… he also needed to keep a close eye on Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake…

[Menos Forest, Hueco Mundo] 

Three figures clad in white clothes could be seen strolling through the Forest of Menos. All three of them were extremely beautiful women. 

"The fuck!! It was just a fucking Gillian! Why the hell do we have to investigate something like that?" one of the women screamed in frustration. 

"Because it is Aizen-sama's order, you muscle brain" a dark-skinned woman snarked back. 

"What did you say, you gorilla?" the first woman yelled in anger. 

"You wanna fight, bitch?" the dark-skinned woman screamed as she got ready to lunge at the first woman.

"Fufufu… now it is pretty clear why Harribel-sama has to work so hard" the third woman said in a teasing tone while covering her face with her sleeve. 

The first and second woman glared at the third woman who seemed to whistle while looking away from the two of them…

The first woman had a tomboyish personality. Her eyes were heterochromatic, one sky blue and one amber eye, with the latter having a red ring around it. She had a mask fragment on the top of her head, with a horn in the middle. Her name was Emilou Apacci. 

The second Arrancar is a dark-skinned woman whose mask fragments form a three-sectioned crown around her head and a thick necklace. Her Hollow hole is positioned midway between her navel and breasts. The second Arrancar's name was Franceska Mila Rose. 

The third Arrancar wore a long white dress, with sleeves extending well past her hands. She was also wearing two belts criss-crossing each other around her waist. She has long, flowing green hair, and three dots below her right eye.

Her mask remnants created three hair clip-like extensions on the right side of her hair, and her Hollow hole wasn't visible. The third Arrancar's name was Cyan Sung-Sun. 

"Hmph!" Apacci snorted in disdain. "I don't like Aizen-sama… his smile is so fake" Apacci said as she shuddered. 

(A/N: Now before anyone of you complain that they shouldn't doubt Aizen because he had used Kyoka Suigetsu, let me explain. Hollows are instinctual beings, they react to instincts.

Their instincts want them to protect Harribel, that is why they can still doubt Aizen).

"Even if Apacci is dumb, I agree with her… I don't like Aizen… I think something is wrong" Sung-Sun said as she covered her mouth with her sleeve. 

Mila Rose hissed in warning. "Don't say things like that in the open! You know Aizen-sama is always watching and listening" Mila Rose hissed in a warning tone… 

"...I agree with the two of you… but we must follow his orders, he is our Lord" Mila Rose whispered and both Apacci and Sung-Sun nodded their heads. 

"Even if he is our Lord, we must protect Harribel-sama, she is our priority" Sung-Sun said in a determined tone. 

"But we can't fight and Aizen-sama is our Lord… even if he wasn't our Lord, we aren't strong enough!!" Apacci whispered aggressively. 

"Even if we can't fight, we will try to help Harribel-sama when the time comes… if needed we will lay down our lives" Mila Rose said in a determined tone. 

"Yes… if Harribel-sama is in danger then I will happily sacrifice my life, she had done more than enough for us" Sung-Sun agreed and even Apacci nodded her head, her eyes burning with determination…
