"Oh?"
Uchiha Brahman sensed a disturbance. Two arms made of chakra appeared on his body and caught the Tailed Beast Balls. Then, the two spheres shot back even faster than before.
They slammed directly into the two jinchūriki, sending them flying.
"Heh. So weak. The so-called Tailed Beasts, and the so-called ninja!"
Uchiha Brahman shook his hands and stared indifferently at Ōnoki. The next moment, his body blurred and vanished. His powerful chakra surged and swirled, making his strength grow again and again until Ōnoki could no longer perceive him.
Boom!
A fist packed with terrifying force slammed into Ōnoki's abdomen.
"Argh!"
The old man cried out in agony. He hadn't even had time to defend himself—or even think—before the punch connected.
"ORA ORA ORA ORA~"
Countless fists rained down, pounding furiously into Ōnoki.
Crack!
The sound of breaking bones rang out.
Time seemed to stop in that instant. In less than a second, thousands of terrifying punches had landed on Ōnoki.
His bones were pulverized, his flesh beaten into a pulp. In less than a second, unimaginable pain surged through his mind like a tide.
It was the horrific agony of being pulverized.
"Phew!"
Uchiha Brahman stopped. A heap of mangled flesh collapsed onto the ground.
"Ahh~"
A painful wail rose from the lump of flesh on the ground. Uchiha Brahman was kind, after all. He had only beaten all the flesh and bones in Ōnoki's body into mush; he hadn't destroyed his organs or brain, allowing him to cling to life.
He took out a vial of Sacred Blessing Serum and plunged it straight into the heap of flesh on the ground.
"Ah, poor child. I don't know why you chose to oppose me, but it doesn't matter!"
Uchiha Brahman spoke with boundless compassion. He didn't care what others thought, nor did he care that these children, trapped in a sea of suffering and without the True Dharma, opposed him. He believed that with his guidance, these poor children would surely find their way back.
"Tsuchikage-sama!!!"
The ninja still fighting watched this scene and panicked. How had their Tsuchikage-sama been crippled in the blink of an eye?
How... how could this be?!
"Roar!"
In the distance, the two jinchūriki, already partially transformed into Tailed Beasts, saw what had happened and let out furious roars before charging at Uchiha Brahman again.
"Hahaha... Interesting. You've seen my power, yet instead of running, you're attacking me? Hahaha! Interesting!"
At the sight, Uchiha Brahman burst into laughter.
"Then..."
An immensely powerful aura rose from Uchiha Brahman. The next moment, his figure blurred again. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of one of the jinchūriki.
"Who..."
A hand landed on Han, and he froze.
"This is for you..."
Thud!
An immense force erupted, slamming Han into the ground.
"Roar!"
He roared furiously and struggled like a dog, but no matter how hard he fought, the terrifying violence proved utterly futile.
"Courage!"
Squelch!
"Han!"
A furious roar rang out nearby. Rōshi bellowed in anger and fired a massive Tailed Beast Ball at Uchiha Brahman.
By then, Uchiha Brahman's hand had already pierced Han's Tailed Beast cloak and clamped around his neck.
Boom!
The massive Tailed Beast Ball struck Uchiha Brahman directly. A tremendous explosion rang out, raising a vast cloud of smoke.
Rōshi stared fixedly at the cloud, firing Tailed Beast Balls as he charged toward it.
Just as Rōshi was about to reach the smoke—
A shadow appeared.
Uchiha Brahman emerged, grinning, slowly walking out with Han in his hand. Han had lost his Tailed Beast form and hung there like a dead dog.
"Hahaha... Not bad... You still haven't run... Interesting. So interesting..."
Uchiha Brahman looked at Rōshi, unable to understand. He had already shown them power enough to crush them, so why weren't they running?
He casually tossed Han, who could no longer resist, onto the ground, then injected a vial of Sacred Blessing Serum into him.
Sacred Blessing Serum was a powerful drug that worked at the genetic level. Even a jinchūriki couldn't resist it.
"Han!"
Seeing this, Rōshi let out an enraged roar and glared at Uchiha Brahman with seething hatred.
He had just started to charge forward when Uchiha Brahman vanished. The next moment, a hand rested on Rōshi. With ease, it tore through his Tailed Beast cloak and seized him by the throat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gripping Rōshi by the throat, Uchiha Brahman slammed him into the ground like a dead dog, crushing him again and again. The surrounding terrain was left in ruins, as if struck by artillery fire. At last, he beat Rōshi out of his Tailed Beast form.
Rōshi hung there half-dead, weakly struggling in his grip.
"Child, accept my blessing! Hahahaha!"
Uchiha Brahman laughed loudly, took out a vial of Sacred Blessing Serum, and plunged it into Rōshi's neck. The golden liquid entered his body and began to transform and bless him at the genetic level.
Not far away, the Iwagakure ninja had been fighting to hold off the Konoha ninja. Once the Tsuchikage and both jinchūriki had been crushed, they lost their will to fight. More and more Iwagakure ninja were severely injured and fell to the ground, only to be injected with Sacred Blessing Serum.
Some began looking for ways to escape. There was still hope: they could spread the news of what had happened and tell the other ninja villages, so they could join forces. That was their last hope.
"Argh!"
Suddenly, an Iwagakure ninja trying to escape cried out. He looked behind him in disbelief.
A kunai had been plunged into his kidney.
And the one who had attacked him was the comrade who had been fighting alongside him moments earlier.
"You..."
His face filled with disbelief.
"Why... would you do this?"
"Hahaha! I've been one of the great Lord Brahman's people for ages! Hahaha!!!"
The ninja laughed, then struck his former comrade with his palm.
Soon, cries of disbelief rang out one after another. The ninja who had received the Sacred Blessing Serum, understood the True Dharma, and learned the Way and the truth, turned on their side and began attacking their former comrades.
Iwagakure...
