Year 53 of Konoha.
Under the secret control of Uchiha Brahman, his familiars began to multiply and migrate with a purposeful speed, spreading across the entire Shinobi World.
Rats, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and fish—these five types of creatures, though weak, possessed terrifying reproductive capabilities. Even in a natural state this was true, let alone when they were secretly manipulated by a mastermind.
At the same time, through these humble lives, Uchiha Brahman observed the various Ninjutsu used by shinobi across the Shinobi World. With his Sharingan and a body already strengthened by consuming some Fruit of the Ocean of Milk, he easily mastered those techniques.
In the same year, Konoha and Iwagakure went to war, but this had nothing to do with Brahman. In Konoha, he was merely an ordinary Uchiha who could barely refine much chakra.
Year 54 of Konoha.
Uchiha Brahman learned more Ninjutsu. Meanwhile, throughout a year of breeding, under his conscious command, the familiars united to purposefully slaughter the males of their own kind to reduce competition.
Through this manipulation, an increasing number of creatures like rats, cockroaches, and mosquitoes became Uchiha Brahman's familiars.
In the same year, Konoha and Kumogakure declared a truce, Hyuga Hinata was kidnapped by Kumogakure, and Hyuga Hizashi met his Death.
It was also in this year.
Late at night, in the Land of Fire, at the capital within the Daimyo's mansion.
A cockroach scuttled stealthily, creeping up beside the old man lying on the bed.
The next moment, a faint ripple of chakra appeared on the cockroach, and instantly, a human figure materialized beside the old man.
Following that, the figure bent down and struck the old man's heart with a single punch. The old man's heart instantly stopped beating, though a person does not die immediately after their heart stops.
Then, the figure raised a hand, and faint spell inscriptions appeared upon it.
Summoning Jutsu! Activate!
A golden fruit materialized upon the figure's person and was promptly placed against the old man's forehead, immediately melting into his body.
Thump, thump, thump! The old man's heart resumed its beating, yet the figure had already vanished.
Meanwhile, the exact same scene played out within the Daimyo mansions of the other four great nations.
Year 55 of Konoha.
Uchiha Fugaku arranged for Uchiha Itachi to infiltrate the Anbu as a spy.
Yet all of this had nothing to do with Uchiha Brahman, the fishmonger. He maintained his normal routine every day, selling fish and earning money, looking no different from any ordinary person.
……
Somewhere in the Shinobi World.
A rat crawled out from a burrow, then began to mobilize the chakra within its body, carving out a summoning array.
The next moment, smoke rose, and a human figure appeared in place.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
The little rat knelt devoutly on the ground, praying to the great Brahman.
Every creature in the Shinobi World possessed chakra within them, and this little rat was one blessed with shinobi aptitude.
"Very good, child, hurry up and breed!"
Brahman crouched down, stroking the rat's head with utmost benevolence and kindness, inquiring after its health while urging it to go forth and reproduce.
The stronger the familiars, the greater the power they could feed back to him. Among the massive rat population base, genius rats were bound to emerge eventually.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The rat nodded devoutly, then scurried back into the hole, carrying Lord Brahman's warm regards as it set to work breeding.
"Ah, good child!"
Uchiha Brahman nodded, then looked around his surroundings. The chakra within him began to stir, and faint electrical currents danced across his body.
"Wuji True Body! Rise!"
Dazzling arcs of electricity flared over him, and his presence surged wildly, growing fierce and explosive until it reached a truly terrifying extreme. Chakra of all elemental natures began to churn and intermingle within him, ultimately forming a near-solid, slightly black film composed of fused chakras across his body.
Hoo! Uchiha Brahman exhaled lightly and assumed a combat stance. With his movement, the air around him began to churn, emitting a rushing roar.
Bang! A faint sonic boom echoed out. The next moment, a mountain peak in the distance burst apart as a streak of black light pierced straight through the entire mountain, charging onward with undiminished momentum. After effortlessly punching through several more mountain ranges, Uchiha Brahman finally came to a halt.
"Not bad!"
Uchiha Brahman raised his hand, feeling the swirling, coursing power within him, and nodded. Then, performing a hand seal, he vanished from the spot.
Wuji True Body was a special Ninjutsu created by Uchiha Brahman himself after secretly studying a vast array of Ninjutsu. It required no hand seals; as long as one possessed a sufficiently high degree of chakra control, formidable physical strength, and mastery over all chakra nature transformations, it could be utilized.
When this Ninjutsu was activated, as long as an enemy's attack did not exceed the defensive upper limit of the Wuji True Body, both physical and ninjutsu attacks would be rendered directly null and void.
Furthermore, it drastically enhanced the user's physical strength.
Regrettably, because he had not yet consumed enough Fruit of the Ocean of Milk, this Ninjutsu remained incomplete and was merely a semi-finished product.
……
Time flowed quietly by.
Year 56 of Konoha.
Four years—this was the fourth year Uchiha Brahman had come to this world.
By now, countless weak creatures like cockroaches, rats, and mosquitoes across the entire Shinobi World had largely been replaced.
At the same time, during this period, relying on the pupil power restored by the Fruit of the Ocean of Milk, he had condensed seeds of blessing one after another, transforming frogs, snakes, slugs, and various small creatures into his familiars.
He allowed these familiars to survive, multiply, and spread throughout the Shinobi World.
Inside the fish shop, Uchiha Brahman, who had been resting with his eyes closed against his chair, suddenly snapped his eyes open.
"Wuji True Body! Complete!"
His eyes began to transform rapidly, shifting into the Mangekyou Sharingan. At the same time, all the chakra within his body began to churn and merge.
Within his mind, a Fruit of the Ocean of Milk dropped down.
A powerful transformation took place within his body.
That pair of Sharingan underwent a simultaneous metamorphosis alongside the evolution of his physical form.
Logically speaking, having neither brothers nor sisters nor any kin, Uchiha Brahman's path should have long since reached its end. His pair of Mangekyou Sharingan were merely ordinary eyes, and once their pupil power was exhausted, they would have been unable to recover without the replenishment of the Fruit of the Ocean of Milk.
Yet at this very moment, his eyes underwent a transformation: the pupil power, which ought to have been a non-renewable resource, began generating endlessly from within his eyes anew.
