Not far away, Rasa struggled desperately to break free, watching this scene in despair.
How could this Uchiha be so powerful?
Even the legendary God of Shinobi couldn't have been much stronger, could he?
He couldn't understand how one person, one ninja, could become this powerful. This was no longer a human being. It was a god!
With a casual strike, he had wiped out the entire village's ninja. Even Rasa himself had been utterly powerless to fight back. Why could a human become so powerful?
He didn't understand. He couldn't understand at all!
If they, the ninjas, were still limited by their humanity and troubled by numbers, then Uchiha Brahman had already reached the level of a god. Numbers, Tailed Beasts, the village's strategic weapons—before him, they were all like jokes, like toys, utterly meaningless!
"Lord Kazekage, it's time to receive the great blessing!"
Just then, a former Sunagakure ninja, now a citizen of the Empire, came to Rasa's side. Holding up a golden serum, he smiled at the man who called himself the Kazekage.
Rasa looked sadly at the ninja before him. He knew that everything this ninja had now was the result of being controlled. Soon, he would suffer the same fate.
A sharp needle pierced Rasa's exposed neck, and the golden serum flowed into his body.
It's over!
Rasa thought despairingly.
In the distance, Uchiha Brahman casually gestured. The wind surged around him, and Gaara's body immediately lifted into the air. Brahman grabbed him by the throat.
Uchiha Brahman looked indifferently at Gaara in his hand, casually produced a vial of Sacred Blessing Serum, and injected it into Gaara's body.
Ever since developing the Sacred Blessing Serum, Uchiha Brahman had stopped bothering with the Seed of Blessing. The effects were the same either way.
Honestly, his ocular technique wasn't all that powerful. After all, the Seed of Blessing couldn't be used on creatures capable of resisting.
To bless someone, he first had to beat them nearly to death.
What's more, at the beginning, he could only create six Seeds of Blessing. Once they were used up, his eyes would go blind.
His ocular technique was, frankly, nothing special.
It had neither offensive nor defensive power. Compared with everyone else's ocular techniques, it was trash.
Any halfway smart person would never be as stupid as Uchiha Brahman, making contracts with weak mice and cockroaches.
A true genius would figure out how to make contracts with powerful humans. After using up all six precious slots, they'd gain six powerful followers, then happily discover that the power supplied by those six people took ages to condense into a single Ocean's Amrita. They'd also have those people reproduce, only to happily discover that it took a long time for a child to grow up and become capable of reproducing.
And every time a follower died, there'd be one fewer. A careless mistake could wipe them all out.
That was what a true genius would do.
Unlike Uchiha Brahman, who was stupid enough to make contracts with mice and cockroaches that were no help in battle. Wasn't that ridiculous?
What else could he possibly get out of it besides countless followers, an endless supply of Ocean's Amrita, and invincible power?
Could he become the Hokage's dog? Could he understand the Will of Fire? Could he form bonds with the people in the village?
What else could he do besides turn the villagers into dogs who worshipped the great Brahman?
A true genius should make contracts with humans, then scheme to bring Konoha's important figures under his control one by one, eventually turning them into food for aliens. That was what a genius would do.
After coming to this world, Uchiha Brahman had been terribly unlucky. He had no system, no cheat, and hadn't transmigrated into anyone important. He was just an ordinary Uchiha who, in the original timeline, had been casually cut down by Itachi Uchiha on the night of the massacre. He couldn't even remember the whole story.
The only thing he had was a Mangekyō Sharingan. Perhaps it had awakened because he'd transmigrated, or perhaps for some other reason—maybe his personality had somehow stirred up the powerful will needed to awaken it.
That could hardly even be called a cheat. Every Uchiha had a chance to awaken their own Mangekyō Sharingan.
How pitiful! Uchiha Brahman!
Alone in another world, with no one to rely on, no golden finger, no cheat—he had nothing but a pair of eyes awakened through the power of this world, and ordinary intelligence that could build a near-light-speed spaceship.
Perhaps he was the most miserable transmigrator of all.
Perhaps this was what it meant to be ordinary. Perhaps this was what it meant to be mortal.
Bang!
He casually tossed Gaara onto the ground like a dead dog, then lifted his eyes to the sky, his face full of melancholy.
System, where are you? If I had a system, I'd probably be a Genin by now. After a while, maybe I could even take the ninja exams. Perhaps I'd get to chat and laugh with Sarutobi Hiruzen, and spend my days preparing for the massacre two years from now, figuring out how to deal with Itachi Uchiha.
Instead, look at me now. I'm only a mere Hokage—oh, wait, the Hokage position doesn't even exist anymore. Look at me now: conquering the world and ruling an empire.
This is the price of having no system, no powerful cheat from beyond the heavens! If I had a cheat, I could use its power to become friends with Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. I could even be their babysitter.
Instead, all I did was leave them half-dead and inject them with the benevolent, merciful Sacred Blessing Serum.
Alas!
Uchiha Brahman sighed. In the end, he was just an ordinary person, without a system or any other golden finger.
How could he compare with those other powerful transmigrators?
"Praise Brahman! We have bestowed the great Sacred Blessing Serum upon these wretches!"
As Uchiha Brahman gazed at the sky, Kakashi walked over, knelt before him, and spoke reverently.
"Mm, well done, Kakashi! You're all good children! I believe they'll see the error of their ways!"
Uchiha Brahman nodded in satisfaction and spoke with boundless kindness and gentleness. Then he raised his hand...
In the distance, a shadow emerged from the desert and watched the scene in silence.
Damn it, why is this Uchiha so strong? He's almost as powerful as Madara Uchiha. No, not almost—he's already surpassed him!
Black Zetsu had been here for a long time, secretly watching.
One move! Just one move!
He hadn't even used the power of those eyes. He'd merely controlled the sand and instantly annihilated an entire village!
What kind of monster was this?
And even...
