"Hahaha, Tianqi is right! I never expected you to have such a unique insight!" Indra laughed heartily upon hearing this. Although Tianqi's explanation was slightly different from his own ideas, it was similar in spirit. For a long time, his father and brother had rejected him, but now he had gained the recognition of an outsider whose strength was no less than his own. This was a very important and happy thing for Indra.
Hearing Indra's laughter, Ashura, who had been wavering, regained his composure. Although he couldn't refute what Uchiha Tenki said, he absolutely couldn't agree with it, especially in front of Indra. He then looked at Mandala beside him and said, "Third brother, I'll trouble you to hold off Uchiha Tenki. As for Garuda, she's your sister, so she shouldn't take you seriously. Just hold off Uchiha Tenki, and I'll come to help you after I defeat Indra!"
"Okay, no problem!" Mandala grinned, looking at Tianqi with a murderous aura. Tianqi's words just now had made the relationship between the two brothers even worse, which made Mandala really want to teach Tianqi a lesson. As for whether he could beat him, he didn't even think about it.
"Want to make a move? Heh, very well!" Seeing that Ashura and the others were about to attack, Indra sneered, glanced at the people behind him, and pointed at the Ninja Clan army, shouting: "Rai! Charge into the enemy ranks and show our might! When facing the Ninja Clan, slaughter them without mercy!"
Upon receiving Indra's order, a burly man with the strength of a Kage-level expert quickly stepped forward, glaring fiercely at the Ninja Clan members before him. The burly man then spoke: "Ki!"
With just a single word, the people next to the burly man instantly understood. They quickly stretched out their hands, and the four hands crossed together to form a base. The burly man stood on the base, and lightning-attribute chakra appeared around him. In an instant, he was launched out.
As Ashura watched the burly man fly into the sky above the Ninja Clan army, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized the man; it was Rai, Indra's strongest subordinate, a peak Kage-level expert. Apart from the Otsutsuki clan, almost no one could rival him. Seeing Rai's movements, Ashura suddenly realized something and shouted, "Not good! Scatter!"
However, there were too many people from the Ninja Clan to react immediately to Ashura's warning, and Lei continued to gather his strength and charged down towards the Ninja Clan army with a punch.
"Haaah! Heavy Stream Explosion!" The lightning fist struck the middle of the Ninja Clan army, the ground shook and dust flew everywhere. The lightning directly created a crater two hundred meters wide, and hundreds of Ninja Clan members died in this attack. Hundreds more survived but were seriously injured.
"Oh! Impressive strength indeed!" Tian Qi was astonished to see this burly man create a crater hundreds of meters deep with a single strike. With this man's strength, he should be the strongest person below several Otsutsuki clan members.
Hearing Tianqi's praise, Indra's lips curled up slightly, and he said proudly, "Of course. Lei's father was one of the first people to follow me. Although he sacrificed himself, Lei, as his son, did not disgrace his father. His years of perseverance and hard work have made him the strongest person under my command. Lei alone is enough to rival two thousand people or even more. He is the strongest warrior in the tribe!"
Seeing Indra praising this man named Rai so highly, Tianqi simply nodded indifferently. This guy was indeed quite strong. In this era where strength was generally high, it was quite impressive to be able to fight against thousands of people by himself. Moreover, Tianqi saw the shadow of Raikage A in him. If Rai were in Tianqi's era, he could probably hold off tens of thousands of ninjas on his own. After all, A could hold off twenty thousand ninjas.
After unleashing an explosive attack, Lightning turned his attention to the nearby Ninja Clan members and began to kill them mercilessly.
"You dare to use Wood Release!" It was already heartbreaking to see so many Ninja Clan members killed, but to make matters worse, Lightning continued his rampage. Ashura was immediately enraged and unleashed Wood Release, which instantly entangled one of Lightning's hands with trees.
"Hmph!" Seeing Ashura actually reach out and strike with lightning, Indra snorted coldly and swiftly stepped forward. His Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan instantly activated, and his Susanoo skeleton appeared. With a single slash, he cut down the tree entangled with lightning and said, "Rai, you deal with the others. I'll handle Ashura!"
"Yes, Lord Indra!" Lei, who had originally intended to exchange a few blows with Ashura, decisively abandoned the idea upon seeing Indra arrive and shouted to his companions in the distance, "Brothers, follow me!"
The members of the Ninja Clan and Indra both went to fight on the other side, leaving the middle area to the two leaders.
"Asura, let me be your opponent!"
As their subordinates engaged in battle, Indra and Ashura also began their leader-versus-leader fight, one wielding a partially completed Susanoo and the other a hundred-meter-long wooden dragon, as they continuously attacked each other.
Just as Tian Qi was about to step forward and lend a hand, seeing thousands of Ninja Clan members fighting against a few hundred of Indra's subordinates, Otsutsuki Mandala appeared before him.
"Uchiha Tenki, where do you think you're going? You think you can leave with me here? Is it really okay to treat me like this?" Mandala said angrily, blocking Uchiha Tenki's way.
"Oh, you must be Mandala, Garuda's brother. Haven't you heard about what happened last night? Even Indra was no match for me. You dare to stop me with your meager strength? Are you out of your mind?" Tian Qi glanced at Mandala with disdain, looking down on him as much as he could.
It has been about a month and a half since Tianqi woke up in Konoha. After his battle with Indra last night, his strength has now recovered to 60%. Although there is only a 10% difference between 50% and 60%, the difference is huge. Before, Tianqi only had half of his strength, but now he has broken out of that half and has more than half of his strength. It is normal for Tianqi to look down on Mandala, who is only a quasi-Six Paths level.
"You're the one who's out of your mind! The only reason you were able to beat Indra was because he let you win. I'm different from him. I won't hold back at all when I beat you!" Mandala curled her lips indifferently.
Yes, Mandala believes that Tianqi was able to defeat Indra last night because Indra deliberately lost to Tianqi in order to win him over. Moreover, given Indra's personality, he probably only let Tianqi have a few moves. It's unlikely that he actually lost; it's probably just rumors. After all, the bloodline of the Otsutsuki is something that not everyone can compare to.
Regarding Mandala's idea, Tianqi could only say that he didn't understand Indra at all. How could someone as proud as Indra deliberately lose?
This family really doesn't understand Indra at all.
