The Uchiha Were Born Evil

At the sight of this, some of the ninjas present were enraged. They glared at Uchiha Brahman, but after he beat a few troublemakers half to death, the ninjas fell silent.

Although there had been no discussion or election, it was now a foregone conclusion that Uchiha Brahman would become Hokage. After all, they were no match for him.

Deep underground on an island in the Land of Waves.

A group of figures in white lab coats moved around, conducting all kinds of experiments.

Every one of them had the same face: a perfect match for Uchiha Brahman's.

That's right. They were all Uchiha Brahman's Shadow Clones.

Back in the year 53 of Konoha, Uchiha Brahman had taken control of Gato of the Land of Waves and made him provide funding for his research. And the research project? It was, of course, something wonderful.

The blessing.

After he blessed a creature, all its descendants became his dependents. He was extremely curious about this phenomenon, since humans took so long to grow.

If he wanted to turn humans into dependents, he would have to spend an extremely long time on it.

So, was there a way to turn those adorable humans into his dependents more easily, making them his food?

That was what Uchiha Brahman was currently investigating.

He extracted the genes of various dependents, then knocked out and modified those genes before inserting them into the genes of other creatures. He observed whether the creatures remained his dependents after the genes of dependents and non-dependents were combined.

In theory, it should work, since many of his dependents had been produced by a parent breeding with a non-dependent creature.

The result was clear. By now, he had successfully determined the degree of genetic integrity required to infect a non-dependent creature and turn it into one of his dependents.

Starting from there, Uchiha Brahman began researching a genetic drug that could recombine the genes of non-dependents and make them his dependents.

And now, after several years of research—

"Hahahaha!!!"

Suddenly, one of Uchiha Brahman's Shadow Clones burst into laughter as he stared at the golden syringe in his hand.

"It worked! Hahaha! I finally did it!"

Laughing, the Shadow Clone picked up the syringe and walked into a cell nearby. Inside were criminals from various countries.

"Gah! Don't come near me!"

In the cell, a criminal saw Uchiha Brahman approaching and was so terrified that he wet himself. He sat on the floor, his face full of fear and despair, screaming frantically.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, my child. I won't hurt you. Come on! Enjoy the blessing! Hahaha!"

The Shadow Clone laughed as he plunged the needle into the criminal.

The moment the needle went in, the terror on the criminal's face reached its peak.

Countless people had died in these madmen's experiments over the past few days.

He had seen it with his own eyes: after being injected with the drug, some people seemed fine at first, but as time passed, they either became idiots or went insane. Many others had their bodies rot and melt away, until they became a puddle of flesh and carrion.

These people were demons, lunatics, devils!

"Just wait, my child. A great transformation is underway. This is a historic moment, all for the happiness of mankind and the future of the world! Hahaha!"

Uchiha Brahman looked at the criminal and laughed with delight.

Such was the wisdom of the great Brahman!

Then, the Shadow Clone dispelled.

Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha.

The jōnin of Konoha had just met this Uchiha Brahman, a man they had never seen before and hadn't even known existed. Many of them were deeply unwilling to accept him as Hokage, but what could they do?

Even the Daimyō stood behind him. If they refused to recognize him, they would be branded rogue ninja and traitors to the Land of Fire!

Uchiha Brahman could kill them legally, without giving anyone any grounds for objection.

Unless they had the ability to kill or defeat Uchiha Brahman, any resistance would be considered treasonous, illegal, and illegitimate.

"Excellent!"

In the office, Uchiha Brahman, sitting in a chair, suddenly opened his eyes. He had received a message from his clone: the blessing drug was in its final stages. Soon, he would bring happiness and beauty to this world.

Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra.

He would bring advanced class theory to this world. He alone would be a Brahman. He was Brahma; he was Heaven!

"Ah!"

Two figures lay on the ground in a forest.

One had lost both legs, while the other had lost an arm.

They were Itachi Uchiha and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At the last moment, the two had finally escaped from Konoha, but Itachi Uchiha had paid for it with both legs. He was now a legless cripple.

"Itachi, are you all right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly got to his feet, clutching the stump where his arm had been.

"Lord Third, what exactly happened?"

Itachi Uchiha endured the pain of having both legs cut off and spoke calmly. Unbeknownst to him, his eyes had already changed, becoming Mangekyō Sharingan.

"The Daimyō and Danzo were both controlled by that Uchiha Brahman! Itachi, do you know him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said gravely. Knowing Danzo as he did, how could that old bastard ever kneel respectfully before anyone? And especially before someone he hated most of all: an Uchiha!

What else could it mean but that he'd been controlled?

The Uchiha were born evil!

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Itachi Uchiha and sighed inwardly. There were good people in the Uchiha Clan, but not many. If only every member of the Uchiha Clan were like Itachi—righteous and understanding of the Will of Fire.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen and Itachi Uchiha left to find somewhere to treat their wounds.

The news that Konoha had a new Hokage quickly spread throughout the Shinobi World. All the great ninja villages learned that Sarutobi Hiruzen had become a rogue ninja and tried to assassinate the Daimyō, only to be stopped by a young man from the Uchiha Clan, who saved the Daimyō.

And that young man had become the new Hokage.

Uchiha Brahman. That was the new Hokage's name—a nobody until now, a young man who sold fish in Konoha.

Something was fishy. The Kage of the great ninja villages studied Uchiha Brahman's records.

They began looking for ways to investigate Uchiha Brahman's secrets...
