Iwagakure, Finished!

"Oh?"

Uchiha Brahman sensed the movement, and two arms formed of chakra manifested from his body, catching the two Tailed Beast Balls before hurling them back at an even greater speed.

They struck the two jinchuriki directly, sending them flying.

"Heh, truly weak. So-called tailed beasts, and so-called ninjas alike!"

Uchiha Brahman shook his hands, looking indifferently at Ōnoki. The next moment, his body vanished into a blur. His immense chakra swirled continuously, causing his power to surge, swell, and skyrocket, reaching a level that Ōnoki could not even perceive.

BOOM!

A fist carrying terrifying power slammed directly into Ōnoki's abdomen.

"Argh!"

The old man let out a miserable scream. He hadn't even had time to defend, or even begin to think, before he was struck by that single punch.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA~"

Countless fist shadows descended, raining down madly upon Ōnoki's body.

CRACK!

The sound of shattering bones rang out.

Time seemed to stand still in that moment; in less than a single second, thousands of terrifying fist strikes landed on Ōnoki.

His bones were pulverized into powder, his flesh beaten into a pulp, and an unimaginably horrific agony flooded his mind like a tidal wave within that fraction of a second.

It was the terrifying pain of being smashed to pieces.

"Whew!"

Uchiha Brahman stopped his hands, and a pile of mangled flesh collapsed onto the ground.

"Ah~"

A painful wail rose from the heap of meat on the ground. Uchiha Brahman was kind, after all; he had merely beaten Ōnoki's flesh and bones into a pulp without destroying his internal organs or brain, allowing him to linger on in agony.

He took out a Sacred Blessing Serum and injected it directly into the pile of flesh on the ground.

"Sigh, poor child. Although I do not know why you chose to make an enemy of me, it does not matter!"

Uchiha Brahman said with immense benevolence. He did not care for the opinions of others, nor did he care for the hostility of these children trapped in a sea of suffering and unable to find the true path, because he believed that under his guidance, these poor children would surely find their way back.

"Lord Tsuchikage!!!"

The ninjas currently in battle saw this scene and were instantly frantic. How could their Tsuchikage be reduced to a cripple in the blink of an eye?

How... how was this possible!

"ROAR!"

In the distance, the two jinchuriki, already in their partial tailed beast forms, saw this scene and let out angry roars, charging toward Uchiha Brahman once again.

"Hahaha... interesting. Upon seeing my power, you do not flee, but instead launch an attack at me? Hahaha! Interesting!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Brahman burst into laughter.

"Then..."

An incredibly powerful aura rose from Uchiha Brahman's body. The next moment, his figure turned into a blur once more, and in just a blink, he appeared before one of the jinchuriki.

"Who is..."

A hand landed on Han, and he froze in place.

"Given to you..."

BANG!

A massive force erupted, and Han was pinned directly to the ground.

"ROAR!"

He roared in fury, struggling like a dog, but no matter how he struggled, in the face of such terrifying violence, it all appeared so futile and useless.

"Courage!"

HISSS!

"Han!"

A roar echoed from not far away. Rōshi shouted in anger, firing a massive Tailed Beast Ball that shot toward Uchiha Brahman.

At this moment, Uchiha Brahman's hand had already pierced through the Tailed Beast Cloak on Han's body and gripped him by the throat.

BANG!

The massive Tailed Beast Ball slammed directly into Uchiha Brahman, and a tremendous explosion rang out, kicking up a massive cloud of smoke.

Rōshi stared fixedly at the smoke, firing more Tailed Beast Balls as he charged forward.

Just as Rōshi was about to reach the smoke, a shadow emerged.

Uchiha Brahman stood there grinning, slowly walking out while clutching Han, who had reverted from his tailed beast form and hung limp like a dead dog.

"Hahaha... this is interesting... to think you aren't running away... interesting, truly interesting..."

Uchiha Brahman looked at Rōshi, unable to comprehend why he wouldn't flee when he had already displayed power strong enough to crush them almost entirely.

He casually tossed Han, who no longer had the strength to resist, onto the ground and injected a Sacred Blessing Serum into his body.

The Sacred Blessing Serum was a potent agent that acted at the genetic level; even a jinchūriki could not withstand it.

"Han!"

Seeing this, Rōshi let out an angry roar, his eyes filled with immense hatred as he glared at Uchiha Brahman.

He had just intended to charge forward when he realized Uchiha Brahman had already vanished; the next moment, a hand rested on him, effortlessly tearing through his Tailed Beast Cloak and gripping him by the throat.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Uchiha Brahman held Rōshi by the neck as if he were a dead dog, slamming him into the ground and grinding him down relentlessly. The surrounding terrain was left in ruins, as if struck by artillery shells, until finally, Rōshi was beaten out of his Tailed Beast transformation.

He was left half-dead, held by the throat and struggling powerlessly.

"Child, accept my blessing! Hahahaha!"

Uchiha Brahman laughed wildly, pulled out a Sacred Blessing Serum, and plunged it directly into Rōshi's neck. The golden liquid entered his body, beginning to reshape him at the genetic level—a blessing!

Not far away, the Iwagakure ninja who had been fighting with the goal of stalling the Konoha ninja lost their will to fight after seeing the Tsuchikage and the two jinchūriki get crushed. More and more Iwagakure ninja were severely wounded, collapsed to the ground, and were then injected with the Sacred Blessing Serum.

Some began to look for ways to escape; they still had hope of spreading the news of what happened here to other hidden villages, hoping those villages would unite—this was their final hope.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, an Iwagakure ninja attempting to flee let out a miserable scream, looking behind him in disbelief.

A kunai had been plunged into his kidney.

The one who had struck was the very comrade who had been fighting alongside him just moments ago.

"You..."

An expression of utter disbelief appeared on his face.

"Why... would you do this?"

"Hahaha, I have long since belonged to the great Lord Brahman, hahaha!!!"

The ninja laughed loudly, then struck his former comrade with a palm.

Soon, cries of disbelief rang out one after another as the ninja who had been injected with the Sacred Blessing Serum—those who had come to understand the true Dharma, the Great Way, and the Truth—began to defect, turning their blades against their former companions.

Iwagakure...
