"Praise Brahman!"
"Praise the great Kind Father!"
"Praise our lord!"
The metal spheres turned their eyes toward Uchiha Brahman, offering their reverent praise.
"Go! Head for this planet's orbit. That's where you belong!"
Uchiha Brahman nodded and grinned at the Orbital Angels.
"Praise Brahman!"
Their voices rang out, cold and filled with terrifying fervor. In the next instant, the Orbital Angels transformed into streaks of light, broke through the sky, and flew into space.
"Excellent!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Brahman nodded.
The Orbital Angels.
They were actually satellites, but unlike ordinary satellites, these were alive. They were a kind of organism.
They were super-organism satellites, equipped with high-strength alloy shells and miniature Nuclear Fusion Reactors to supply their energy. Beneath those metal shells were powerful biological tissues capable of refining chakra, as well as various special organs made of flesh and metal, formed through gene expression.
The Orbital Angels could observe all kinds of information on the planet through the eyes on their surfaces. Their observational capabilities were unparalleled: from outer space, they could see an ant on the planet's surface. They could also fire terrifyingly powerful laser beams through those eyes, launching strikes from beyond the sky.
Moreover, because they were living organisms, the Orbital Angels could reproduce.
That was what the Orbital Angels were: artificial life-forms built for space.
Whoosh—
The wind howled as the Orbital Angels activated their Anti-Gravity Engines, escaped the planet's gravitational pull, and accelerated faster and faster until they finally broke through the clouds and emerged into space.
The Orbital Angels began orbiting the planet. Countless eyes appeared across their surfaces, silently watching the planet below and the boundless, profound starry expanse surrounding it.
"Let's see if these things work!"
Uchiha Brahman took control of the Orbital Angels. His vision shifted as though split apart, letting him see both the scene in outer space and the place where he stood.
For an ordinary person like Uchiha Brahman, observing from multiple perspectives wasn't difficult to handle. Perhaps a genius might not be able to stand it and would wisely give up after trying it a few times. But Uchiha Brahman kept this mode active twenty-four hours a day, across the entire Shinobi World.
Countless cockroaches, countless rats, countless mosquitoes, and countless tiny creatures provided him with an almost terrifying amount of information every moment. At first, he hadn't been used to it, but as his strength continued to grow, so did his ability to process information. By now, he had completely adapted to observing from multiple perspectives.
That was only natural. The human capacity to adapt was terrifying.
Uchiha Brahman raised a hand. The eyes of the Orbital Angels floating quietly in the planet's orbit immediately began to move, and an incredibly clear image appeared in his mind.
"Not bad. Now let's test their power!"
He nodded, then flashed away from the underground construction factory and appeared on the surface.
"Come on! Let's give it a try!"
He pointed toward the forest in the distance.
Orbital Laser preparing!
In outer space, the eye of one Orbital Angel changed. Its pupil split apart, and countless smaller pupils, like sesame seeds, appeared across the huge eyeball. At the same time, chakra began to flow, gathering in the center of the eye.
Bzzzz—
Brilliant electric currents flickered across the eyeball. The next instant, a blue-violet beam blasted out from it.
On the planet's surface, Uchiha Brahman waited quietly. Then a blue-violet beam fell from the sky and struck the spot he had pointed at.
A bottomless crater, radiating heat, appeared.
Uchiha Brahman walked over and examined it as a flood of data streamed through his mind.
"Not bad. Impressive power! This is the Angel's judgment! Ahahaha!"
He laughed happily. With this, he wouldn't even need to fight for himself. He could simply point, and his enemies would die. Though, in truth, it wasn't much use, since Uchiha Brahman was very kind and didn't like killing people.
One could only say that the people of the Shinobi World had been saved by Uchiha Brahman's dōjutsu. Otherwise, every living thing on this planet might already have been wiped out.
To Uchiha Brahman, the planet's inhabitants had gone from toys he could douse with boiling water or crush underfoot to egg-laying hens. After all, to Uchiha Brahman, taking a life was as instinctive as eating and drinking.
A top-tier talent like him, capable of raising a civilization from a surface-bound society to an interstellar one, would never have been killed by the people of his original world—even if they had to die alongside him—if he had acted like anything resembling a human being.
Silence!
Stillness!
The remaining four shinobi villages were gone! The sacred lands were gone too!
Somewhere in the Shinobi World.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were hiding in a dark corner.
"How could this happen? How could he be this powerful?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in disbelief, his mind in a daze.
Not long ago, Jiraiya had received word from Mount Myoboku and summoned its toads. They had brought terrible news.
Mount Myoboku had been attacked by a group of powerful rats that had appeared from nowhere. And against those rats, the mighty sacred land—a powerful force that had existed for over a thousand years—had been utterly helpless.
The Great Toad Sage had likely already died protecting them.
After hearing what had happened to Mount Myoboku, Tsunade immediately summoned Katsuyu. Then...
Nothing happened. Tsunade had lost contact with Shikkotsu Forest and could no longer summon Katsuyu Sage.
That wasn't even the worst of it. The worst part was that the Shadow Clones they had sent out revealed that all four great shinobi villages had fallen to Uchiha Brahman.
Now, aside from them, Uchiha Brahman had completely taken control of the Shinobi World—or at least, everything aboveground.
How was that possible?!
It made no sense at all. He'd crushed all four great shinobi villages single-handedly in a single day. Could a human being really do that?
"Sensei, this is what happened! We have to find the Child of Prophecy. Only the Child of Prophecy can defeat Uchiha Brahman and save the Shinobi World!"
Jiraiya fell silent, then stepped before Sarutobi Hiruzen and spoke. He already had an idea of who the Child of Prophecy was.
