Monster!

However, Kakashi's Sharingan had already been removed by Uchiha Brahman for research.

Besides that, all the Uchiha Clan's ninjas, including Fugaku Uchiha, had been injected with the Sacred Blessing Serum and turned into dogs under the great Brahman's command.

Surely no one thought Brahman would spare them just because they were members of the same clan? Of course not.

In Uchiha Brahman's eyes, becoming his follower was a good thing!

"Let's go! Hahahaha! It's time to bring blessings to those children still struggling in the sea of misery!"

Uchiha Brahman waved his hand. The people present gradually stopped praising him, then rose reverently to their feet and gazed respectfully at Uchiha Brahman.

Meanwhile, Iwagakure began contacting the other ninja villages. There was no point contacting the smaller villages anymore. Because of their weakness, some had already been entirely injected with the Sacred Blessing Serum. Who knew who'd be fighting whom if they contacted them now?

The Fourth Shinobi World War was about to begin!

"We must kill Uchiha Brahman! He's thrown the Shinobi World into chaos, and he's even taken control of the daimyō!"

Ōnoki gazed toward the Land of Fire and spoke gravely.

Suddenly, an Anbu appeared behind Ōnoki and handed him a document.

"What? How dare he?"

Ōnoki looked at the document. It said that Uchiha Brahman was leading every ninja from Konoha toward Iwagakure, and they were already close.

Ōnoki's expression darkened at once. It was too fast—far too fast. He'd only just been planning to contact the other villages and join forces against Uchiha Brahman, to kill the madman who had turned everything upside down and betrayed all loyalties. He'd even planned to seize the opportunity to invade and divide up the Land of Fire.

He'd only just had the idea, and Uchiha Brahman was already coming straight to their doorstep. How could this be? Weren't they supposed to unite and attack Uchiha Brahman, killing this so-called madman?

How had things ended up the other way around?

It was like a hero setting out to slay a dragon, only for the dragon to show up at the hero's home before he'd even left and kill him with a single spit.

"Immediately gather every ninja in the village!"

Ōnoki ordered.

"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama!"

Whoosh~

Amid the howling wind, Konoha's ninjas ran at full speed under Uchiha Brahman's lead. They had entered the former Land of Earth and were now close to Iwagakure.

"Heh heh heh..."

Suddenly, Uchiha Brahman chuckled. The next moment, a group of Iwagakure ninjas leaped out of the nearby forest.

Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!

A massive white cube appeared, instantly enveloping the area where Uchiha Brahman stood. All the surrounding ninjas stopped in their tracks.

"Lord Brahman!"

At the sight, Konoha's ninjas cried out in alarm and immediately tried to rush forward to save their lord.

Just then, Iwagakure's ninjas charged in and engaged Konoha's ninjas.

Had they won?

Ōnoki looked at Uchiha Brahman, trapped within the Dust Release, and felt a wave of relief for some reason.

Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu could break any object down into atoms. No matter how powerful Uchiha Brahman was, he was still only one person. He'd gained his influence by using special means to control the daimyō of various countries. As for defeating Sarutobi Hiruzen, well, he'd defeated him.

Ōnoki couldn't imagine Sarutobi Hiruzen being able to withstand the power of Dust Release.

Just as Ōnoki thought victory was all but certain, a hand wrapped in a black film suddenly reached out from the Dust Release.

"What?!"

Ōnoki's pupils contracted at the sight. H-How could this be?!

"Hahahaha... Interesting... Very interesting... Dust Release, huh..."

Uchiha Brahman's voice rang out from within the white light of the Dust Release. The next moment, a figure wreathed in black chakra emerged, completely unharmed.

"That's powerful! If I didn't have the Boundless True Body, I might not have been able to withstand it!"

Uchiha Brahman remarked casually.

Then he casually raised a hand. Powerful chakra surged, and he didn't even form any hand seals.

A white cube appeared beside Ōnoki, about to engulf him.

"!!!"

Ōnoki's eyes widened in shock at the sight. He hurriedly retreated, while a white cube appeared in his hands. He thrust it forward.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion rang out.

Ōnoki landed on the ground.

"How can you use Dust Release too?!"

He stared at Uchiha Brahman in disbelief.

"Heh heh heh. Why shouldn't I be able to? Dust Release isn't something that requires inheritance through blood. If you can figure it out, why can't I? In fact, I should thank you! If it weren't for you, I'd never have learned Dust Release!"

Uchiha Brahman grinned. He'd learned Dust Release a long time ago. After all, who would be wary of a cockroach, a fly, a mouse, or a mosquito?

With the help of these little darlings, he'd learned most of the jutsu in the entire Shinobi World.

Dust Release was nothing special.

It sounded incredibly mysterious, but at its core, it was just a combination of three types of chakra. It might be extremely difficult for others to learn, but once they did, they could use it as a powerful finishing move. For Uchiha Brahman, though, it wasn't difficult to learn at all.

Even without anyone demonstrating it for him, he could've figured it out on his own.

"Monster!!!"

Ōnoki instinctively took a step back, staring at Uchiha Brahman in shock. He'd never encountered such a genius—someone who could learn Dust Release just by watching it once, without any instruction at all.

Even the God of Shinobi in his prime couldn't have done that, could he?

Was it because of those eyes?

Ōnoki looked at Uchiha Brahman's scarlet eyes. No, impossible. The Sharingan was indeed an exceptionally powerful Kekkei Genkai, but it wasn't powerful enough to copy his Kekkei Tōta.

"Damn it!"

Not far away, the two jinchūriki of Iwagakure watched the scene, their expressions darkening. They'd heard Uchiha Brahman's words, of course. They hadn't expected anyone to learn Dust Release—a Kekkei Tōta that surpassed Kekkei Genkai—just by watching it once!

"Roar!"

The next moment, two roars rang out. The two jinchūriki entered partial Tailed Beast Mode and formed Tailed Beast Balls, hurling them at Uchiha Brahman. After launching the two Tailed Beast Balls, they charged straight at him.
