After hearing Tianqi's words, everyone fell silent. Although what Tianqi said was rather harsh, it was the absolute truth.
Garuda remembered the name of Tianqi's child: Qianyu, Uchiha Qianyu.
"Sigh, let's not talk about these things now that we're out. Let time prove whether Qianyu's choice was right or wrong!"
The group of four walked slowly. Garuda looked at the people leaping on the rooftops and asked with some curiosity, "Are these the ninjas you were talking about?"
"Yes, that's right. With the end of the Warring States period, the world entered a new era of ninjas. Your second brother Ashura's descendants really contributed a lot to making this peaceful village possible!"
"My second brother's descendant, how do you explain that?"
Mikoto and Itachi were also very curious. They had never heard of any of these names, such as the descendant of their second brother Ashura. Now that Tianqi, an elder, was here, they could learn more about him.
"During the Warring States period, various forces were mixed together, fighting each other for territory. On this land beneath our feet, two top families were fighting: one was the Senju clan, descendants of Ashura, and the other was the Uchiha clan, descendants of Indra, which is my family."
"Senju? Uchiha? You mean the descendants of my eldest and second eldest brothers have lost the name of Otsutsuki?"
"Yes, as time went by, brothers, sisters, children and children were killed by the other side, and the two groups completely severed their kinship and became mortal enemies!"
"Wait, Father, are you saying that my Uchiha clan and the Senju clan are actually related?" Mikoto asked in surprise.
"Hehe, they're more than just relatives. The ancestors of our two families were brothers who grew up together; they were true blood relatives!"
"Yes, blood relatives who grew up together..." Garuda's feelings were complicated as he thought of his two older brothers who were fighting each other.
"We are all of the same origin, why are you so eager to harm each other? It can only be said that people who are not on the same path will never be able to walk together, even if they are brothers. It's all in the past, so take it easy!" Tianqi held Garuda's hand and comforted him. He knew that the matter between Indra and Asura was a pain that would never go away from Garuda.
"I never imagined that the ancestors of the two families were actually brothers. But how did you know about this, Father? Do you have any concrete evidence?" Mikoto was still a little skeptical about this bizarre matter, so she asked if there was any evidence.
"Hehe, everything I say is true. Whether anyone believes me or not is not important to me. But since you asked, Mikoto, I'll show you the real proof!"
"Mmm!" Mikoto nodded, her eyes fixed on Tianqi. However, after staring at him for a long time, Tianqi did not make any move. Mikoto was also confused. Wasn't he supposed to show her the evidence? Why was there no movement at all?
"Father, this..."
The youngest, Itachi, seemed to understand what his grandfather meant by "living proof," so he tugged at his mother's hand and said, "Kassan, what Grandpa meant by 'living proof' should be Garuda Grandma, am I right, Grandpa?"
"Hahaha, our Itachi is still the smartest. That's right, the living proof I'm talking about is Garuda!"
"It's Garuda Mother, what's going on?" Mikoto was still completely bewildered and didn't understand at all.
“Mikoto, I’ll tell you their surnames and names and you’ll understand. The ancestor of the Uchiha clan was called Otsutsuki Indra, while the ancestor of the Senju clan was called Otsutsuki Ashura. As for Garuda, her full name is Otsutsuki Garuda. You should understand now, right?”
"Otsutsuki? Could it be that Garuda's mother is...? That can't be!" After hearing her father-in-law Tianqi's words, Mikoto had a very absurd idea in her mind, and she found it extremely unbelievable.
"Judging from your expression, I guess you've already figured it out. You can hardly believe it, can you? But no matter what, it's true. I brought Garuda to this world from a faraway place, which is why I said before that, in fact, she's older than me!"
"W-w-w-... Garuda Mother, are you really from that long ago?" Mikoto asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am indeed from a thousand years ago. Due to some special reasons, I was able to return to this world. It's all fate!"
"It is said that fate is predetermined, and sometimes you have to admit that there is a lot of truth to that. Just like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, although they were from opposing clans, they were close since childhood and even joined hands to found Konoha. No one would believe that it wasn't fate!"
"Hashirama Senju? Madara Uchiha? Who are these two?" Garuda asked with some confusion.
"I know this, I know this. Hashirama Senju is Tsunade's grandfather, and Madara Uchiha is her great-grandfather, right?" Before Tianqi could speak, Itachi, the youngest, answered.
"Haha, our Itachi is so smart, he's absolutely right, but Grandma Garuda won't understand what you're saying!"
Tianqi affectionately patted Itachi's head, then turned to Garuda and explained, "Hashirama Senju is a direct descendant of Ashura and the head of the Senju clan, while Madara Uchiha is my father. Our lineage is a direct descendant of Indra. If you really want to count, I'm more than ten generations below Indra, hahaha..."
"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder you refused your second brother Asura's invitation and resolutely followed your eldest brother Indra. So you are his descendant!" After figuring everything out, Garuda looked at Tianqi with a strange expression.
"Hahaha, although what you said isn't entirely correct, there is indeed a reason for it. If I don't help my ancestors, who else should I help? Should I help the mortal enemy of my family? I'm not that stupid!"
To be honest, Tianqi was indeed somewhat biased towards Indra at first, after all, he was his family's ancestor, so it was inevitable that he would be biased towards that relationship, and he also didn't really like Asura's personality.
"Tianqi, is your father still alive? Tianqi, Tianqi?"
As Garuda asked the question, Tianqi suddenly stopped in his tracks. Looking at the barbecue restaurant in front of him, his thoughts seemed to return to his youthful days.
The three of them watched as Tianqi stared blankly at the barbecue restaurant, completely baffled as to why he would be staring at an ordinary barbecue restaurant.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just feeling nostalgic for my younger days when I saw this shop..."
