Inside the Hokage office, a group of people sat together.
Suddenly, an Anbu appeared, whispered something in Sarutobi Hiruzen's ear, and handed a file to the old man.
"Uchiha Brahman?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and looked down at the documents in his hands.
Uchiha Brahman, born in the 34th year of Konoha, an ordinary member of the Uchiha clan. Having no talent for becoming a ninja, he inherited a fish shop and possessed zero combat strength. He was completely ordinary, with no prior connection to the Daimyo whatsoever.
Sarutobi Hiruzen studied the files. No matter how he looked at it, this Uchiha Brahman was nothing more than an ordinary Uchiha clansman without a single remarkable trait.
So, the question arose: why had such an ordinary person caught the Daimyo's attention to the point that the Daimyo went to see this Uchiha Brahman the very moment he arrived in Konoha?
Unless...
It wasn't just Sarutobi Hiruzen who was completely baffled; elsewhere, the Uchiha clan, who had been constantly preparing to launch a coup d'état, were equally bewildered.
Uchiha Brahman? Who on earth was that? Soon, Uchiha Brahman's file appeared before Uchiha Fugaku and the other high-ranking members. Well, everything checked out—he was a pure-blood Uchiha. But that raised the question: why would the Daimyo go out of his way to visit a young member of the Uchiha clan? Even more absurdly, this young man was supposedly a good-for-nothing with no ninja talent who could barely refine any chakra.
Regardless of how these people speculated about Uchiha Brahman, he had already arrived at the Hokage building.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, step down from the position of Hokage!"
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the main seat smoking a pipe.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat there in silence. Just as he was about to speak, Shimura Danzō stood up beside him.
"Sarutobi, step down! The new Hokage has appeared, and it is time for you to relinquish the power of the Hokage!"
Shimura Danzō looked at his old friend and shook his head. This world would belong to the great Lord Brahman; what was Sarutobi compared to him?
"Danzō, you..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzō, then at the Daimyo, as if he finally understood something.
"Old man Sarutobi, it is truly time for you to abdicate. Give my position back to me!"
At that moment, Uchiha Brahman, standing not far away, spoke up. He slowly stepped forward, his eyes beginning to change.
Single-tomoe, double-tomoe, triple-tomoe, Mangekyou Sharingan...
The scarlet eyes emitted an eerie glow. The next moment, a chakra of unimaginable intensity and terror—as terrifying as a black hole—erupted from Uchiha Brahman.
"The great Brahman!"
Seeing this scene, Danzō dropped to his knees in devout prayer. Beside him, the Daimyo likewise fell to his knees, offering his loyalty to the great Brahman.
"Uchiha!!!"
Seeing those eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly stood up.
"Is your Uchiha clan attempting a rebellion?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen demanded in a harsh shout.
"Rebellion? No, the one rebelling is you! Because I am the Hokage!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Brahman grinned and laughed.
"Men! Sarutobi Hiruzen attempted to assassinate the Daimyo—his crimes are heinous, rebellious against heaven and earth, and utterly devoid of humanity! He is hereby charged with high treason and shall be executed on the spot!" Uchiha Brahman roared, then transformed into a blur as he charged straight at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At the same time, the Daimyo collapsed to the ground on cue, letting out agonizing wails. Seeing this, Shimura Danzō rushed forward to shield the Daimyo.
Nearby, other Konoha high-ranking officials watched the scene in mutual dismay. Just as they were about to move, Uchiha Brahman's Shadow Clones suddenly materialized behind them. With force they could neither react to nor resist, the clones plunged their hands into their chests, ripping out their hearts and crushing them.
Bang! A heavy blow slammed into Sarutobi Hiruzen's body, transforming him into a puff of smoke that vanished. The next instant, massive fireballs erupted, swallowing Uchiha Brahman whole as the entire office blew apart.
Outside, the ninja heard Uchiha Brahman's voice, a sense of absurdity washing over them. Then, a massive explosion rocked the area, followed by Shimura Danzō running out with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who wore an expression of having narrowly escaped death.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen has committed treason and tried to assassinate the Daimyo!"
Shimura Danzō shouted at the top of his lungs, immediately slapping a heavy label of guilt onto the former Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hahaha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, your end has come!"
Uchiha Brahman laughed maniacally, bursting out from the smoke. Without using any Ninjutsu, he relied purely on physical might as he hurled himself toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Boom! Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his arms to block the strike. The moment they connected, however, his expression shifted drastically; a terrifying shockwave of force surged through the blow, and had he not hurriedly retreated and braced himself, that single punch would have broken his arms.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! A colossal fireball spewed from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, engulfing Uchiha Brahman. But a black shield manifested around Brahman's body, easily deflecting the attack.
Yet, this bought Sarutobi Hiruzen enough time; he retreated frantically while splitting into several Shadow Clones.
Five Release: Great Multi-Element Technique!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and his four clones coordinated seamlessly, simultaneously unleashing Ninjutsu of five different attributes—Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, and Wind—at Uchiha Brahman. The powerful jutsu instantly submerged Brahman's body.
"Hahaha... Interesting, interesting! Too interesting!"
Uchiha Brahman's laughter echoed from within the smoke. The next moment, a golden giant materialized on the spot.
Hum! A massive, golden Chainsword appeared in the giant's grip.
Vwoom! A deafening roar filled the air as the teeth on the Chainsword began to spin furiously, a wave of euphoric thrill welling up in Uchiha Brahman's chest.
"Are you ready, Sarutobi? Hahahaha!!"
Uchiha Brahman laughed wildly and charged forward directly.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately summoned his summoning animal, Enma. The monkey transformed into a staff and landed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's grip.
Whoosh! The massive staff, imbued with invincible momentum, collided directly with the Chainsword. The next second, a cry of agonizing pain rang out from the Monkey King staff in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands, and then the virtually indestructible staff snapped directly in two.
A monkey, sliced into two pieces, wailed as it fell to the ground before being whisked away by a summoning formation.
"Lord Hokage!"
In the distance, a group of ninja watched the scene unfold, wanting to step forward and provide backup. However, a group of Root operatives stepped out to block their path.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen has betrayed Konoha and betrayed the Land of Fire. He is now a rogue ninja. Do you fools also intend to betray Konoha and the Land of Fire?"
Shimura Danzō and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire emerged, glaring at the gathered ninja.
