Water Style: Sea Covering Technique!
This ninjutsu could control water. It converted the user's chakra into water and allowed them to manipulate it with absolute precision. In theory, its power depended on how much chakra the user had.
"Roar!"
Yagura roared furiously, struggling and bellowing like a genuine Tailed Beast. But against a force as powerful as a natural disaster, all his struggles were futile.
A mere Tailed Beast—how could it ever compare to the great Brahman?
"Praise Brahman!"
"Praise the President!"
"Praise the Kind Father!"
Suddenly, some of the ninjas struggling in the water began to chant praises. They pulled Sacred Blessing Serum from their clothes and injected the ninjas beside them who had yet to understand True Dharma and the Heavenly Dao.
"No! What are you doing?!"
A ninja stared in shock at his former comrade. That look of utter devotion was impossible to believe. How could this be? Hadn't they already captured all the ninjas in the village who'd received the injections?
They had even searched every ninja in the village's memories, just to be safe. But why...
"Praise Brahman! Hahaha!!!"
The former Kirigakure ninja, who had found his way back from the wrong path and understood True Dharma, was now a citizen of the Empire. He laughed maniacally, pulled out the syringe, burst through the water, then walked across its surface and knelt directly before Uchiha Brahman.
"Praise Brahman!"
"Praise Brahman!"
"Praise the Kind Father!"
A great many ninjas knelt on the ground, offering their devout praises. The ninjas who had been injected watched in sorrow and anger, unable to understand—completely unable to understand—when these people had fallen under Uchiha Brahman's control.
"Hahaha!!!"
Uchiha Brahman burst into laughter at the sight. A mosquito buzzed past him. He looked at the Kirigakure ninjas who had yet to be converted, especially Yagura, the poor fool who was still under Obito's control.
"Child, wake up!"
He looked at Yagura. His scarlet eyes flashed, and Obito's genjutsu broke at once. Yagura froze.
He had come to his senses.
"This..."
Yagura looked at the scene before him. The joy of regaining his senses vanished in an instant, replaced by a deeper sorrow. He knew Kirigakure was finished.
"Come on! Try this! Ice Release!"
Uchiha Brahman snapped his fingers. The entire stretch of water froze, and the hard ice formed a prison, freezing the stunned Kirigakure ninjas in place.
"How can you use Ice Release?!"
Yagura stared fixedly at Uchiha Brahman and those eyes of his. He was from the Uchiha Clan, right? Weren't the Uchiha known for Fire Release? How could he use Ice Release?
"Confused?"
Uchiha Brahman looked at Yagura, who had fully transformed into a Tailed Beast. Massive streams of water, as hard as steel, bound him. Even with a Tailed Beast's strength, he couldn't break free. All he could do was await the great blessing.
"Ha. How could a mere Kekkei Genkai compare to the ultimate power of my Uchiha Clan? It's just a matter of changing the nature of Wind and Water chakra. With the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan—the Mangekyō Sharingan—I can learn something like that without any trouble."
Uchiha Brahman looked at Yagura, arms folded and legs slightly raised, striking an invincible pose as he casually explained.
"The ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan?"
Yagura stared at Uchiha Brahman's eyes and muttered to himself. That couldn't be right. What kind of nonsense was this about the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan? If the Uchiha really had this kind of ability, they would've ruled the world long ago. Why would they have waited for Uchiha Brahman?
In the distance, Obito Uchiha heard Uchiha Brahman's words and scoffed inwardly. He had nothing but a mere Mangekyō Sharingan and was already making such outrageous claims. It seemed the guy didn't know about the Rinnegan.
"Uchiha Brahman, I know your eye technique now. You can copy Kekkei Genkai, right?"
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Obito's eyes. When the eyes of the Uchiha Clan evolved into the Mangekyō Sharingan, they awakened a unique eye technique.
Now, from Uchiha Brahman's words just now, Obito understood. He understood completely. Uchiha Brahman's eye technique was the ability to copy Kekkei Genkai!
What else could it be? Was it really as Uchiha Brahman claimed—that he had learned these Kekkei Genkai through sheer intelligence?
How could that be? It was utterly absurd, impossible. These were Kekkei Genkai, not some common ninjutsu. How could anyone learn them so easily through intelligence alone?
"Uchiha Brahman, I know your secrets now: an eye technique that copies Kekkei Genkai, and using that drug to control people with your eye technique! I have to admit, it's a powerful ninjutsu. But it's not enough!"
Obito suddenly felt confident.
"Then let me see whether you're truly qualified to stand in the way of my plans!"
Obito charged straight at him. He was confident his eye technique could protect him. So what if he couldn't win? He could always run!
Crack, crack, crack!!!
Streams of water froze, and one ice dragon after another surged up from the ice, roaring soundlessly as they charged at Yagura. Ice spikes harder than steel plunged straight into his massive Tailed Beast form, and countless ice flowers blossomed across his enormous body.
"Roar! Damn you, Uchiha Brahman!"
Yagura cursed and struggled, channeling his chakra as he fought to resist the encroaching ice.
"Stop!"
A roar rang out just then.
A figure clad in a black robe, wearing a mask and possessing a Sharingan, was rushing toward them at full speed.
"Oh! Obito?"
Uchiha Brahman watched the approaching Obito Uchiha with an indifferent expression. With a casual wave, he rewarded him with a Sacred Blessing Serum: Anesthetic Version.
Then he raised his hand and swept it through the air. In the next instant, countless golden syringes appeared in the sky.
"Needle Style: Rain of Thousand Needles!"
Countless syringes fell like rain, landing directly on the Kirigakure ninjas who had yet to receive their blessing.
"Ah!"
One scream after another rang out, and the Kirigakure ninjas promptly passed out.
"Praise Brahman!"
"Praise the President!"
"Praise the Kind Father!"
At the sight, the ninjas who had found their way back from the wrong path, along with the citizens of the Empire behind them, all knelt and sang their devout praises.
At the same time...
