One Move!

And now, what Uchiha Brahman was using was Sacred Blessing Serum mixed with a powerful anesthetic. One injection could knock out a whale on the spot. What did that mean? If this stuff hadn't been mixed into the Sacred Blessing Serum and had instead been injected directly, the target would be as good as dead.

Even if Uchiha Brahman hadn't casually added some protective agents while making this particular batch of Sacred Blessing Serum, a single injection would have a hundred percent chance of over-suppressing the central nervous system, causing respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and other serious consequences. The Sacred Blessing Serum wouldn't even have time to take effect before the person died—and that wasn't the outcome Brahman wanted.

"Praise Brahman! Great Kind Father! Kumogakure is just ahead!"

Fugaku Uchiha spoke to Uchiha Brahman with the utmost reverence, like a dog. Though Uchiha Brahman had once been an inconspicuous nobody in the Uchiha Clan, a mere fishmonger,

Fugaku Uchiha had lost his way during this time, after receiving the True Dharma and understanding the truth and the Great Way.

Praise Brahman! Only the great and benevolent Uchiha Brahman was worthy of becoming the Uchiha Clan's leader and guiding them to glory. Though Fugaku was older than the great Brahman, in his heart, Lord Brahman was his father, his very heaven.

Praise Kind Father, praise Brahman!

If Lord Brahman wished it, Fugaku would gladly offer him his own wife. It would be a blessing earned over three lifetimes for the great Lord Brahman to take an interest in her.

Praise Brahman!

Fugaku Uchiha felt boundless reverence, and at the same time, boundless resentment—resentment toward his former self. Why hadn't he knelt sooner to receive the great Brahman's blessing and bathe in his holy light?

And that damned Itachi Uchiha—an animal, the worst kind of animal.

That animal no longer deserved to be his son. He was a traitor, a rebel against the natural order, lower than a dog or a pig. Fugaku simply couldn't understand why he'd fathered such an animal. He should have shot Itachi Uchiha onto a wall.

Who had given him the nerve? Who had ordered him? He must have been out of his mind to defy the whole world and save that animal Sarutobi Hiruzen—that damned rogue ninja, that wretch who refused to respect the great Lord Brahman.

He was absolutely insane.

From the day he understood the True Dharma, Fugaku had, as the great Lord Brahman's dog and a true citizen of the great Empire, become a lowly being honored to share a clan with him. That very day, he had cut ties with that animal, disowning him as his son.

Sasuke, on the other hand, had known to bow and prostrate himself before the great Lord Brahman on the very first day he understood the True Dharma. Now that was a good son!

Uchiha Brahman grinned, his scarlet eyes gleaming with an uncanny light. He had seen it long ago.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

A mosquito beat its wings as it flew through the air, finally landing on a leaf.

"Uchiha Brahman!!!"

A roar rang out. A muscular, dark-skinned man stood amid the raging wind, glaring furiously at Uchiha Brahman as he charged toward him.

"Oh, hello, child. Would you like to receive a blessing?"

Uchiha Brahman looked impassively at A, speaking in a kindly tone. As a good man, the Empire's bestower of blessings and supreme leader, he was always very patient with everyone, because he was benevolent.

A golden syringe flew from his hand, turning into a streak of golden light as it shot toward A.

Lightning crackled over A's body as he leaped aside. The next instant, Uchiha Brahman's figure replaced the syringe, appearing where A had just stood.

Flying Thunder God!

At the sight of this, A was shocked. He hadn't expected to see this jutsu again.

"Lost lambs! Accept the great blessing!"

With Magnetic Rotation, Uchiha Brahman flew into the air. The next instant, countless vials of Sacred Blessing Serum scattered like flowers from the heavens, raining down on the Kumogakure ninja.

"Not good!"

The ninja were startled and immediately tried to dodge. But they were fast, and Uchiha Brahman was faster. Did they really think kunai couldn't kill?

The next instant, a great many syringes pierced the ninja. The powerful anesthetic took effect, and those who had been struck rolled their eyes back and collapsed unconscious.

"Uchiha Brahman, what the hell are you doing?! Look at what you've done! Die!"

A roared in fury. The next instant, he appeared behind Uchiha Brahman like a bolt of blue lightning.

Lightning Style: Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop

A concentrated a high-voltage current formed from Lightning Style chakra in his hand and plunged down, chopping at Uchiha Brahman with a hand strike. He had once used this jutsu to sever the Eight-Tails' left horn with one hand. Now, he would use it to kill Uchiha Brahman, that lunatic.

"Oh! That's interesting!"

Uchiha Brahman spun around in an instant. Black light flashed over his body, and then he raised his hand, a dazzling current sparking across it.

Bang!

"W-what... impossible!"

A stared at the scene before him in shock.

"H-he caught it!!!"

Some Kumogakure ninja who had been lucky enough to escape the attack shouted in disbelief at the sight.

"What did I do? I gave a blessing, of course. It's a good thing! How can you say something so disrespectful, child?"

Uchiha Brahman gripped A's wrist and grinned, looking gently at the rebel before him.

Whoosh!

A fist wrapped in lightning and trailing a terrifying rush of air barreled toward Uchiha Brahman.

An arm made of chakra appeared and caught the blow.

Then Uchiha Brahman let go.

Just as A tried to retreat—

Bang!

Uchiha Brahman slammed a kick into A. His body instantly folded up like a prawn, and he screamed as he flew into the distance like a cannonball.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion sounded from a nearby mountain. A slammed into the mountainside, leaving a massive crater. He was embedded in it like a mosquito that had been swatted.

"Heh, pretty impressive!"

Uchiha Brahman chuckled, then clapped his hands. He turned toward the surviving Kumogakure ninja nearby.

The ninja were now staring at Uchiha Brahman in utter shock.

One strike! Just one strike!

And he'd blown the strongest Raikage apart. What kind of power was that...
