Nnoitra looked at the Ryoka, visible eyebrow raised.
He had a point.
Orochimaru had been killed because of what he had done to both him and Kadaj, though the story suggested it had been in self defence. A witness had attested that he had seen Kadaj in a difficult position, having been attacked by Orochimaru, and gone to help him. Nobody would ever have believed that Nnoitra had help in him, but that didn't matter. The victim was somebody they both hated, so although it was opportunistic, it didn't go badly for him in front of Aizen.
In reality, it had been slightly more intricate than that, and all Kadaj's idea, pre-planned with the sort of clever reasoning that nobody would ever think to give Kadaj credit for, let alone him. They were both tarred with the same brush when it came to impulsive brawling.
And now it turned out that the man who had been given Orochimaru's old work space knew both of their mothers. He, much to Nnoitra's irritation, insisted on referring to him as his mother's child, rather than by name, something that needled him because his mother had never thought much of him. He doubted that she'd ever used his name to Hojo back when they worked together, and expected that she'd just called him 'the boy'.
Kadaj was, apparently, one of Hojo's own experiments and a later re-test of the Project-S experiment, the same one that had spawned Sephiroth, somebody that was considered to be finest Soldier ever turned out by Shinra.
After years of distance, Hojo apparently thought himself capable of taking Kadaj back, as property. That wasn't going to go well for him, Nnoitra figured.
Still, should Kadaj have need somebody unaverse to smashing his face in to back him up, he'd be happy to do an encore, not that he thought that he'd need help for this one.
