Rat Me

"When can I leave the village?"

Killer B was feeling troubled when, suddenly, a figure charged toward him from the distance.

"B, run! Get out of Kumogakure!"

A roar rang out. A, covered in wounds and looking utterly bedraggled, raced toward him. Just as he neared the village, he crashed to the ground with a bang.

"Cough, cough..."

A clutched his chest and coughed, spitting scarlet blood from his mouth. He struggled to stand, but his injuries were too severe. He could no longer get up.

"Big Brother!"

Killer B was instantly shocked by the sight. Ignoring all restrictions, he rushed out and reached A's side in the blink of an eye, helping the severely wounded A up.

"Big Brother, what happened? How did you get hurt this badly? Where are the others?!"

Killer B looked at A with concern and asked anxiously.

Just moments ago, he had been thinking that Uchiha Brahman had already been killed by his invincible big brother. Then he saw A, heavily injured, running toward Kumogakure.

Killer B's mind was a little blank. This... this was unreasonable. How could this have happened? It shouldn't have happened. It was impossible. Yet reality was exactly this—A was seriously injured. That was reality.

How could Killer B not be dumbfounded?

"B, run! Don't worry about me, run! Take the people of the village and flee! Leave Kumogakure! Uchiha Brahman is too strong. I'm no match for him at all. Kumogakure has already lost. The shinobi I led couldn't even withstand a single move from Lord Brahman before they were completely wiped out! B, don't worry about me! Run!"

A covered his chest with one hand and placed the other on Killer B's shoulder as he shouted.

"How could this happen?!"

Killer B cried out in shock. How long had it been since they left the village? How much time had passed? How could they have been defeated so quickly? How was that possible? Kumogakure had so many shinobi. Even if there were a thousand pigs, Uchiha Brahman would need time to chop them down with a blade. Yet these were shinobi. There was even a jinchuriki among them, along with Kumogakure's strongest man.

The Raikage was not a thousand pigs. How could they have lost so quickly?

"B, what are you standing there for?! Run! If you don't leave now, Lord Brahman will be here soon! You can't beat him! Let go of me and run!"

A roared, using his weak hands to push Killer B away, wanting him to flee and leave him behind.

"Alright, Big Brother! Let's go!"

Seeing A like this, Killer B nodded. He instinctively ignored the way A addressed Uchiha Brahman and pulled him up from the ground, intending to take him away as well.

"Don't worry about me, B. My injuries are too serious!"

A shook his head, struggling as he coughed and continuously spat blood. He looked incomparably miserable and weak.

"Stop talking, Big Brother. I'm not—"

Killer B shook his head and was about to say something when he froze the next moment.

He looked at the golden syringe embedded in his abdomen and the golden liquid being injected into his body. At the same time, a feeling of weakness spread through him.

"Big Brother... why?"

Using the last of his strength, Killer B shoved A away, then collapsed helplessly to the ground. In the final moment before he lost consciousness—

"B, this is a blessing from the great Lord Brahman! Your big brother treats you well, doesn't he? This is True Dharma. This is truth! B, sleep. Once you wake up, you'll understand how good I've been to you! Hahahaha!!!"

Killer B's consciousness sank into darkness. Even a jinchuriki could not resist such a powerful anesthetic.

After all, Uchiha Brahman had specially created it to target shinobi.

"Cough, cough... Praise Brahman!"

A coughed. The wounds on his body were not fake; they were genuine injuries, though they had not reached the level of severe wounds.

Then he took out a Sacred Blessing Serum without anesthetic and gave himself an injection.

The Sacred Blessing Serum had the effects of healing injuries and extending one's life.

The Seed of Blessing was not actually anything remarkable. Creatures that received the Seed of Blessing would not gain greater strength, and even their chakra attributes would not change in any way. It merely allowed creatures without chakra to gain chakra and restored the blessed person's body.

Only the Sacred Blessing Serum specially created by Uchiha Brahman could make one even more powerful after injection.

Of course, because it altered one at the genetic level, just like the Seed of Blessing, creatures that used the Sacred Blessing Serum would become the great Brahman's fo... good friends for generation after generation!

This change could not be reversed, no matter how many generations they reproduced or how diluted their bloodline became. Even carrying out new genetic modifications and replacing the genes in their bodies would be meaningless. They could not escape it.

Because this was the grace of the great Kind Father. The Kind Father's grace was like the sunlight in the sky—something that could never be repaid.

A debt that could never be repaid!

Then A looked back at Kumogakure behind him and turned to walk into the village.

There were still some pitiful people in the village who had not attained True Dharma and remained lost in the sea of suffering, without receiving the blessing.

"Praise Brahman!"

A smile curled at the corner of A's lips. Behind him, Killer B lay limp on the ground like a corpse, welcoming sacred evolution!

Somewhere in the Shinobi World, inside a Laboratory.

"Praise Brahman!"

A rat covered in tubes and as large as a small mountain lay on the ground, offering praise devoutly.

Besides that enormous rat, other smaller rats lay nearby, also offering praise devoutly.

All sorts of incredibly complex and advanced experimental equipment had been placed around these rats. Numerous Uchiha Brahmans were conducting observations, adjustments, and experiments.

"The Rat Superman Project is finally about to succeed!"

Several Shadow Clones of Uchiha Brahman looked at the enormous rats and nodded in satisfaction. One Uchiha Brahman looked at the data in his hand, then walked over to a machine and pressed a red button.

The Final Experimental Protocol had begun!

Large amounts of Genetic Modification Serum were injected into the largest rat. Then the various tubes attached to the giant rat came loose. Next, enormous mechanical arms descended from the ceiling and began performing modification surgery on the rat.

Superalloy Chakra Armor, Anti-Gravity Core Driver, Full-Spectrum Data Scanning Electronic Eye, Basic Ninjutsu Combination Emitter, Chakra Field Emission Core...

A great deal of mechanical equipment was installed onto the rat.

What do you think the strongest rat should be called? If Rat Superman sounds like a good name, then I'll name the strongest rat Rat Superman.
