The Three Great Sacred Places! Destroyed!

However, under his desperate cover, Fukasaku and the others had already escaped. As long as they found the Child of Prophecy, everything would be all right. He had lived for so long; now, he could die without regrets. At the very least, the spark of Mount Myoboku had been preserved.

"Six Paths, I'm coming to see you!"

The Great Toad Sage's consciousness gradually blurred. His life flashed through his mind like a lantern reel. The Shinobi World had originally possessed no extraordinary power like chakra. The turning point came one day, when Kaguya descended from beyond the heavens, along with her two sons.

"Hahaha..."

The Great Horned Rat watched the old Toad on the verge of death and stepped forward. The tail behind him rose, split open, and countless white neural optical fibers extended from within. Then, the tail plunged directly into the Great Toad Sage's head and began reading his memories.

"Hehehe... Old Toad, don't worry. You won't die. Soon, you'll comprehend the True Dharma, comprehend what the Heavenly Dao truly is, and then go capture all those disciples and descendants of yours! Hehehe!!!"

The Great Horned Rat laughed maniacally, then took out a Sacred Blessing Serum made specifically for Toads and injected it into the Great Toad Sage's body.

High in the sky, the Uchiha Brahmans monitored the various bodily data of the Great Horned Rat and the other Rat Supermen.

"Not bad. All data checks out. His organs are functioning normally, his mechanical prosthetics are functioning normally, and the Micro-Nuclear Fusion Power Organ is operating steadily. No signs of exploding. Not bad, not bad, very good!"

Uchiha Brahman looked at the data in his hand with satisfaction and nodded happily.

In a dark corner of the Shinobi World.

"Uchiha Brahman, you deserve to die!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's furious voice rang out.

"Teacher, how did it go?"

"Lord Hokage, what did Lord Danzo say?"

Tsunade and Itachi Uchiha looked at the furious Sarutobi Hiruzen. Though they already knew the answer from his expression, they still asked.

"No. I thought that once Uchiha Brahman left the village, he would loosen his control over Danzo. But even after leaving, he still hasn't relaxed that control. That damned beast!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen angrily pounded the wall with his only remaining hand. Danzo, my old friend, you've suffered so much! Danzo has been completely controlled. How pitiful. You spent your whole life guarding against the Uchiha Clan, only to end up becoming the dog of an unknown Uchiha Brahman—a mere Fishmonger with no reputation whatsoever before this.

How laughable. Utterly laughable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head sadly, immense grief rising in his heart.

His teacher had been right. The Uchiha were evil by nature. If he could return to the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen would personally kill Uchiha Brahman—kill the entire Uchiha Clan, from top to bottom.

Such a dangerous clan could not be allowed to remain in the Shinobi World.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say any of that now.

However...

"Sigh!"

Tsunade let out a sigh. Just as expected.

"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Brahman has been using the power of those eyes so frequently that he'll go blind sooner or later. Once that happens, he'll no longer have the ability to control people's hearts!"

Itachi Uchiha sat in his wheelchair, raised his head, and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hearing Itachi Uchiha's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately felt somewhat better.

Through Itachi Uchiha, they had already learned how Uchiha Brahman controlled others. Eye techniques—those were Uchiha Brahman's eye techniques.

Using Sacred Blessing Serum as the medium, he controlled others with eye techniques. That was Uchiha Brahman's secret to controlling them.

However, according to Itachi Uchiha, using eye techniques too much would lead to blindness.

"This is bad!"

Just then, Jiraiya's voice rang out. The next moment, Jiraiya came running over with a group of Toads.

"Teacher, something terrible has happened! The sacred land has been attacked!"

Outside Kirigakure.

"It's time to return and begin implementing my system!"

Uchiha Brahman looked at the Empire Citizens before him and raised a hand as though grasping the entire world. He had already learned from his Shadow Clone that the Three Great Sacred Places were finished. This world had fallen into his hands.

"I am the Kami of the New World! Croak!"

Chakra surged through Uchiha Brahman's body, electromagnetic currents flickering around him. The next moment, a radiance as dazzling as sunlight burst from his body. At that instant, he seemed to become a sun. No—he was the sun.

Brahman's radiance shone upon this world. Great compassion, great benevolence, boundless grace—this was the great Brahman!

"Croak! Praise Brahman!"

"Yeah, praise the Kind Father!"

"Praise the President!"

"Grace! This is grace! This is the light of the great Brahman! The great Brahman's light shines upon our hearts and warms our souls! Sob, sob, I'm so moved, so moved!"

Bathed in holy light, the Empire Citizens fell to their knees in overwhelming emotion, giving thanks and praise to the great Brahman. This was the sun.

"The people are ignorant. They do not know the True Dharma, nor do they understand the truth. Only Brahman, only Brahman!"

"Is the supreme truth!"

These Empire Citizens, once shinobi, knelt on the ground and offered their devout praise.

"Great Brahman! How great you are! Obito, you should never have left. I delivered the finest path right to you. As long as you picked up that Sacred Father Serum and injected it, you could become a noble Empire Citizen. You could go from a lowly commoner, a stray dog, to a true human being. Why refuse to be a proper person and insist on being a stray dog instead? Obito, Obito!"

Kakashi knelt on the ground, utterly unable to understand. He and Obito—well, Obito—his former companion, were ultimately no longer people of the same world. A thick barrier now stood between them. Life was unpredictable. In truth, when Kakashi learned that Obito had not died, he had been very happy.

Unfortunately...

"Mm, rise, all of you!"

Uchiha Brahman looked at the Empire Citizens praising him, nodded, and raised his hand.

All the Empire Citizens present stood up.

Not far away, Kirigakure's shinobi lay on the ground, awaiting the arrival of the blessing. Once the blessing descended, they would understand what the True Dharma was!

"Praise Brahman!"

"Praise the Kind Father!"

"Praise the sun!"

The Empire Citizens stood up and looked respectfully at Uchiha Brahman.

Then Uchiha Brahman raised his hand. Chakra surged, Wood Release activated, and in the next moment, great quantities of wood and metal appeared. Finally, an incomparably noble and luxurious Dragon Carriage materialized beside him.
