The Era of Ninja Villages

"What a touching scene!"

Uchiha Brahman watched these ninja with emotion, looking at Kakashi and their burning passion; they were worthy citizens of the Empire, truly kind-hearted.

What a moving friendship this was—one, an orthodox citizen of the Empire, and the other, a stray dog, a pariah, a Dalit who would go unmourned even if killed.

"What a touching friendship! Great benevolence!"

Uchiha Brahman said with immense emotion. He was so kind, so innocent. Uchiha Brahman praised this sentiment he could not comprehend; perhaps this was what goodness was!

"Child, do you see? Your friend is so good to you, what are you still hesitating for? Stand up, accept my blessing! Shed the status of a pariah and become a citizen of the Empire! What are you waiting for! Obito! Stand up quickly!"

Uchiha Brahman looked at Obito Uchiha, who was paralyzed by the anesthetic, with eyes full of kindness, as if looking at an ignorant child.

Come on! Use your indomitable willpower, driven by friendship, to overcome the reality of your paralysis. Aren't you trying to cast that Infinite Tsukuyomi? Don't you believe that illusions are better than reality?

Then, come on, give it your all, use your invincible willpower to conquer the reality of your paralysis, stand up, pick up the Sacred Blessing Serum that Kakashi has prepared for you, inject it into your body, and become an orthodox citizen of the Empire!

"Do your best! Child!"

"Do your best! Obito, stand up!"

With his mind already hazy, Obito Uchiha, encouraged by Kakashi and the others in the distance, lost his head and his soul. He muttered to himself, wanting to stand up, but the next moment, the reality of the anesthesia jolted him awake.

A flash of terror crossed his eyes.

"No, I am not Obito... not Obito, I am Madara Uchiha, I am Madara Uchiha!"

Obito Uchiha lay on the ground, now fully awake. He was not Obito; he was Obito, he was Madara Uchiha.

"You are not Kakashi... Kakashi... you have already... Hahaha... why is it like this... Hahaha... why is it like this... Hahaha... why!!!"

Obito Uchiha recalled Kakashi's words from just a moment ago. A sense of dread emerged in his heart, followed by immense rage and panic.

"Kakashi, you deserve to die! You are the one who killed Rin! Rin! I must create a world that has you in it! Just you wait, Rin, you just wait!"

Obito said with a trembling voice. He was on the verge of tears, a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness surging in his heart.

"Why... why do you, Uchiha Brahman, know my true identity? Why... why must you jump out to stop me, to stop me from bringing peace to this world, to stop me from creating my world!"

Obito Uchiha said, confused and furious.

"Obito, what on earth are you doing! Stand up quickly! Hurry up!"

In the distance, Kakashi watched the motionless Obito and immediately raised his voice, shouting loudly. He did not understand, he could not understand at all. He had already laid a path to the heavens at Obito's feet; was it not just a bit of anesthesia?

Hurry up and use your invincible willpower, use your heart that desires to bring peace to the world to stand up! Break through the limitations of reality and stand up!

"Obito, stand up! Don't let the great Lord Brahman down! If Rin saw you like this, she would surely be disappointed. Stand up! Hurry up!"

Kakashi looked at his motionless best friend, lamenting his misfortune and angry at his lack of resolve. He wished he could go up there, slap Obito twice, and personally inject the great Sacred Blessing Serum into his body.

"Kakashi! You are the one who killed Rin! As a murderer, Kakashi, where do you get the face to say such things!"

It would have been better if Kakashi had said nothing. As soon as he spoke, Obito exploded like a powder keg. The space around him began to distort; he was going to escape.

"Uchiha Brahman! Wouldn't it be better for you to just stay put and sell your fish? Why must you jump out! I, Obito Uchiha... will surely kill you!!!!!"

With an angry roar, Obito Uchiha was sucked into the twisting space like filth in a latrine, escaping with his life.

"Obito!!!"

Kakashi watched Obito Uchiha disappear, his face turning gloomy. This damned pariah, he had clearly paved the way for him; as long as he injected the Sacred Blessing Serum, they could have remained friends from then on, but... why did he refuse?

"Poor child, avoidance is useless. Sooner or later, you will understand what the True Dharma is! Kakashi! Do not be sad; your friend just hasn't thought it through yet. Do not blame him; one day, he will become my dog!"

Uchiha Brahman shook his head with a face full of benevolence, like the sun in the sky, the Kind Father of the Warp, comforting Kakashi.

How truly merciful! Perhaps, this was what kindness was!

When there is kindness in the heart, there is peace in the world!

"Praise Brahman! You are truly so merciful. For a pariah like Obito to become one of us is his greatest fortune, a blessing for ten thousand generations! Praise Brahman!"

Kakashi knelt down, praising with utmost piety.

"Mm! Great benevolence!"

Uchiha Brahman nodded with satisfaction, then looked around.

They were currently standing on ice. Not far away, the former ninja of Kirigakure were all frozen in the ice, with only small parts of their bodies exposed.

These people had all fallen into a deep sleep under the influence of the anesthetic.

A great transformation was taking place within them. When they woke up again, they would be reborn, enlightened by the True Dharma, and realize how foolish their previous actions had been.

Kirigakure! Finished!

With this, the entire ninja world—the five great ninja villages, the largest dens of public disturbance—had all been destroyed under the leadership of the wise and martial great Brahman.

The era of the ninja village had ended!

This system, which had only been established for a few decades, ended today, on this incredibly calm and unremarkable day, at the hands of Uchiha Brahman.

Perhaps even Hashirama Senju, who founded this system, never imagined that this beautiful institution would eventually be destroyed by an Uchiha, destroyed by an ordinary man.

And a new era will also descend!

Konoha.

Shimura Danzō was staying at home, eyes closed, offering praise to the great Brahman, when suddenly, he opened his eyes.

"Come out!"

Shimura Danzō looked toward a spot not far away, and the next moment, a figure appeared.

"Danzō..."
