Four Years Later

Konoha Year 53.

Under the secret control of Uchiha Brahman, his thralls began to reproduce and migrate with purpose, spreading throughout the entire ninja world.

Rats, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and fish—these five types of creatures, though weak, possess terrifying reproductive capabilities. They are formidable enough in their natural state, let alone when guided by someone with a hidden agenda.

At the same time, through these lowly lives, Uchiha Brahman observed the various ninjutsu used by ninjas across the world. With his Sharingan and the physical enhancements gained from consuming several Ocean's Amrita, he easily mastered those techniques.

That same year, war broke out between Konoha and Iwagakure, but this had nothing to do with Brahman. In Konoha, he was merely an ordinary Uchiha who could barely refine any chakra.

Konoha Year 54.

Uchiha Brahman learned even more ninjutsu. Throughout this year of breeding, he consciously commanded his thralls to unite and systematically kill off the males of their own species to reduce competition.

Under this operation, an increasing number of rats, cockroaches, and mosquitoes became thralls of Uchiha Brahman.

In the same year, the ceasefire between Konoha and Kumogakure was signed, Hinata Hyuga was kidnapped by Kumogakure, and Hizashi Hyuga died.

It was also in this year.

Land of Fire, capital, Daimyo Palace, late at night.

A cockroach scurried along, crawling toward the old man lying on the bed.

The next moment, a faint ripple of chakra appeared on the cockroach, and an instant later, a human figure materialized beside the old man.

The figure bent down and struck the old man's heart with a single punch. The old man's heart stopped beating immediately, though a person does not die the instant their heart stops.

The figure then raised a hand, and faint incantations appeared upon it.

Summoning Jutsu! Activate!

A golden fruit appeared in the figure's hand, which he then placed on the old man's forehead. The golden fruit instantly melted into the old man's body.

Thump-thump-thump!

The old man's heart resumed its rhythm, while the figure had long since vanished.

At the same time, the same scene played out in the Daimyo Palaces of the other four great nations.

Konoha Year 55.

Fugaku Uchiha arranged for Itachi Uchiha to join the Anbu as a spy.

But all of this was irrelevant to Uchiha Brahman, the fishmonger. He maintained his normal routine every day—selling fish and earning money—appearing no different from any other ordinary person.

Somewhere in the ninja world.

A rat crawled out of its burrow and began to mobilize the chakra within its body, tracing a summoning formation.

A moment later, smoke rose, and a human figure appeared on the spot.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The rat knelt devoutly on the ground, praying to the great Brahman.

Every creature in the ninja world possesses chakra; this rat was one with the aptitude for ninjutsu.

"Very good, child. Go forth and breed!"

Brahman squatted down, patting the rat's head with immense benevolence and kindness. He showed concern for the rat's health and urged it to go breed quickly.

The stronger his thralls, the more power they could feed back to him. Among the massive population of rats, genius specimens were bound to emerge.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The rat nodded devoutly, then scurried back into the hole, carrying the care of Lord Brahman as it began to breed.

"Yes, good child!"

Uchiha Brahman nodded, then scanned his surroundings. The chakra within his body began to circulate, and faint electrical currents appeared on his skin.

Boundless True Body! Activate!

Dazzling electricity erupted around him. His aura surged wildly, skyrocketing to a terrifying level. Chakra of all natures began to rotate and merge within him. Finally, a thin, near-black film of fused chakra enveloped his body.

Hoo!

Uchiha Brahman exhaled softly and assumed a combat stance. As he moved, the air around him began to flow, emitting a whistling sound.

Bang!

A soft sonic boom echoed. The next moment, the mountain peak in front of him exploded. A black line pierced directly through the entire mountain, continuing forward with undiminished momentum. After effortlessly punching through several more mountains, Uchiha Brahman came to a stop.

"Not bad!"

Uchiha Brahman raised his hand, feeling the power circulating within him. He nodded, performed a hand seal, and vanished from the spot.

Boundless True Body was a special ninjutsu he had created himself after stealing a vast amount of techniques. It required no hand seals; it only demanded a high degree of control over one's own chakra, immense physical strength, and the possession of all chakra nature transformations.

When this technique was active, as long as the enemy's attack did not exceed the defensive limit of the Boundless True Body, any physical or ninjutsu attack could be directly nullified.

Furthermore, it could significantly enhance the user's strength.

Unfortunately, because he had not yet consumed enough Ocean's Amrita, the technique was not yet perfected—it was merely a semi-finished product.

Time flowed quietly.

Konoha year 56.

Four years—this was the fourth year since Uchiha Brahman had arrived in this world.

By now, countless weak creatures like cockroaches, rats, and mosquitoes across the entire ninja world had been largely replaced.

At the same time, during this period, he had relied on the pupil power restored by the Ocean's Amrita to condense Seed of Blessing after Seed of Blessing, transforming frogs, snakes, slugs, and various small creatures into his kin.

He then let these kin survive, flourish, and multiply throughout the ninja world.

Inside the fish shop, Uchiha Brahman, who had been resting with his eyes closed while leaning back in his chair, suddenly snapped them open.

"Boundless True Body! Complete!"

His eyes began to change rapidly, shifting into the Mangekyo Sharingan, while all the chakra within his body began to rotate and fuse together.

In his mind, a Ocean's Amrita descended.

A powerful transformation began to take place within his body.

As his body underwent this metamorphosis, those Sharingan eyes began to evolve as well.

Under normal circumstances, Uchiha Brahman, having no siblings or relatives, would have reached the end of his path long ago; his pair of Mangekyo Sharingan were merely ordinary eyes, and once their pupil power was exhausted, they would have been unable to recover without the replenishment of the Ocean's Amrita.

However, at this very moment, his eyes underwent a change; the pupil power, which was originally a non-renewable resource, began to generate from within his eyes in an endless stream.
