Contracted Familiar

"Ocean's Amrita..."

Uchiha Brahman watched the cockroaches mating inside the box, along with the mouse that was violating a female mouse, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Afterward, he carried these things into the kitchen.

"Eat, eat more, breed more! Hahahaha!"

Brahman laughed as he placed some food inside.

Six times—his ocular power could only support him in creating six Seeds of Blessing. This dōjutsu of his was not powerful; one could even say it was extremely weak and ordinary. It posed no threat to any living creature, could neither distort space nor manipulate time, and lacked the power to control elements. It was just a very mundane dōjutsu.

This body had no kin. The parents of Uchiha Brahman had long since died. Siblings? How could such things exist?

In other words, these eyes of his would never be able to become the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

"How truly pathetic!"

Uchiha Brahman said.

However, the power of the Ocean's Amrita could not only make him stronger, but it could also replenish his ocular power.

"Let it be for now. Breed, breed to your heart's content!"

In the dark kitchen, Uchiha Brahman looked at his two familiars and whispered, then let out a yawn and went back to sleep.

The next day, Uchiha Brahman got up and went into the kitchen.

In a small box, several cockroaches were crawling over a pile of leftovers. Uchiha Brahman looked at one of the cockroaches and lowered his hand, whereupon the cockroach crawled onto his palm.

"Very good, it's already pregnant!"

He looked at the cockroach and sensed it carefully—or more accurately, he read the memory of the cockroach. After confirming that it had finished mating the previous night, he nodded with satisfaction.

Afterward, he looked to the side at the mouse in the bucket; the mouse had also finished breeding the previous night.

Some time later, some baby cockroaches hatched from the egg case of this female cockroach. Meanwhile, during this period, he had also caught many female mice and paired them with the mouse, and many of the female mice were already pregnant.

Inside a box, a group of tiny, white baby cockroaches crawled out from an egg case. Uchiha Brahman watched this scene quietly; he could feel a connection between himself and these baby cockroaches.

Not long after, these cockroaches grew up one after another. Uchiha Brahman selected some to scatter throughout Konoha, letting them breed to their heart's content. At the same time, those pregnant female mice also gave birth to new baby mice.

The pink little creatures squeaked, and Brahman looked at these little mice with immense affection, bestowing more food upon the female mice.

Time flowed quietly. It was now Konoha Year 52, the year when Konoha had gone through the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Fourth Hokage had died, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had returned to power.

In other words, in a few more years, the Night of the Massacre would arrive!

Uchiha Brahman's current identity was that of an ordinary person in the Uchiha clan, a civilian, an inconspicuous ant.

In the original history, when the Night of the Massacre descended upon the Uchiha clan, he would have been one of the Uchiha civilians who died at the hands of Itachi Uchiha, but now, history had changed.

In the ninja world, chakra existed within the bodies of all living things. These weak creatures were naturally no exception. After receiving the Seeds of Blessing, the chakra within these cockroaches and mice had also increased slightly.

However, it was not much.

Time flowed quietly. During this period, Uchiha Brahman lived a reclusive life, just as he had before transmigrating. He did nothing, only silently raising more mice and more cockroaches.

At the same time, he quietly released some cockroaches and mice, letting them constantly spread and multiply, even leaving Konoha to spread to other parts of the ninja world.

Mice and cockroaches could be said to be the fastest-breeding creatures in the natural world.

After a large number of cockroaches and mice were born, finally, the first Ocean's Amrita was born.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Brahman looked at this milky-white fruit. With a thought, the fruit fell from the illusory tree and merged into Brahman's body. In an instant, he felt his power grow stronger, and the chakra within his body became more abundant.

Even his ocular power, which had been depleted by two-sixths, had recovered somewhat.

This was the power of the Ocean's Amrita.

"However, I will not be satisfied with just this!"

For the next period, Brahman went to the restroom, covered his nose, and picked out a few maggots. After torturing one maggot until it was half-dead, he condensed a Seed of Blessing and transformed this maggot into a familiar.

Not long after, this maggot turned into a fly.

Brahman then found a bunch of flies, let his fly mate with them, and bred more maggots and flies.

Previously, the reason he had only transformed two familiars was the fear that some accident might occur, causing all his transformed familiars to die.

But now, the mice and cockroaches had gained a foothold and begun to multiply; they had even left Konoha and were spreading across the entire ninja world.

He no longer needed to worry about the safety of these familiars.

Even if he were to exhaust all the ocular power in his eyes right now, and all his new familiars met with some accident, he would not be completely destitute with no path of retreat.

After a large number of familiar flies were bred, Uchiha Brahman released most of them and gave them a single command: breed, breed! Constantly breed!

Next, Uchiha Brahman found a type of small fish in the river that was the most numerous and common.

This was a small fish about the thickness of a finger.

After torturing one fish until it was on the verge of death, he created a Seed of Blessing, transformed this small fish into a familiar, and then carefully raised it at home, also catching many companions for it from the river.

Some time later, a large number of small fish hatched from the fish eggs.

Brahman raised these small fish, then threw most of them into the river. Next, it was just a matter of waiting for time to pass.

As long as these familiars remained alive, they would provide him with a constant stream of power, forming the Ocean's Amrita; even if they died, their final remnants of strength would still become the power of Uchiha Brahman.

As for why he chose animals instead of humans, there was no other reason: the reproductive rate of humans was simply too low.

If he had really chosen humans as his familiars, it would have taken until the end of time for him to grow stronger.

Time flowed quietly, and Uchiha Brahman did not act like a transmigrator at all, following his previous lifestyle and doing nothing out of the ordinary.

However, it was not as if he had truly done nothing.

Cockroaches, rats, flies, and fish—after consuming four-sixths of his ocular power, he contracted a new creature: mosquitoes.

Furthermore, after his familiars had multiplied in great numbers, his ocular power had also recovered somewhat, allowing him to increase his contract quota by two more familiars beyond his original limit.
