Looking at these people who have fought alongside him all along, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved, but no matter how moved he was, he wouldn't change his mind about what he had decided.
Indra couldn't very well drive away these loyal people, so he could only personally select half of the combat personnel: twenty Super Kage-level, thirty Kage-level, fifty Quasi-Kage, and the rest were all Jonin-level. Indra didn't bring any Chunin or Genin-level personnel this time, but even this force of about five hundred people was no less than Ashura's five thousand-strong army. The twenty Super Kage-level experts alone were enough to be worth several thousand people.
"All troops, proceed!" Indra waved his hand, and a powerful army of a hundred men set off.
Half an hour later, Indra stood alone on a high place, hands on his hips, gazing at the distant scenery and sighing repeatedly. There was a hint of something inexplicable in his tone. Perhaps even Indra would feel troubled when he was alone, faced with the fact that his own brother had killed him.
“Aren’t they the best partners?” Tianqi came to Indra’s side and looked at the soldiers advancing below. Tianqi did not look down on them because of their weakness. On the contrary, he was full of respect for them.
Back then, he had the courage to forge ahead because he had partners who recognized and accompanied him. Tianqi believes that Indra was the same. It was because of these supportive partners that he was able to carry out his ideals without stopping halfway.
Hearing Tianqi's words, Indra finally snapped out of his daze. Looking at his subordinates below, he smiled slightly and said, "They are more than just partners. Ever since I betrayed the Ninja Clan, these people have followed me. To follow me all this time must mean they trust and believe in me very much. And I have always believed in them. I consider them my closest family. They are not only my partners but also my brothers and sisters. We are all constantly fighting for the same ideal. Tianqi, can you understand this feeling?"
"I understand a little bit. I also have a group of family members who share my ideals!" Tianqi nodded. Yes, whether it was Zhan or the Grand Elder, the people who fought alongside him were all his family. Konoha Village could never give him this kind of familial affection.
"Since that's the case, you should understand me even better. Many people in this world call me a demon or a god of death, but they will never know that those are the ways I treat my enemies. I have never mistreated my followers, nor have I treated them badly because of their strength. It is because of the support of these guys that I, Indra, have been able to fight against the tens of thousands of Ninja Clan's army with only a thousand men. It is also because of them that I, Indra, have been invincible!" As he spoke, Indra opened his arms, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky.
So it was the power of his companions. It seems that no matter how stubborn Indra is, he still respects his companions. But that's normal. If Indra didn't have anything special but relied on his strength and willful personality, he wouldn't have been able to gain the approval of such a powerful warrior.
Upon hearing this, Tianqi felt a surge of emotion. So it seemed that Indra's prejudice was not directed at his subordinates, but only at the Ninja Clan and Asura. If Indra could maintain this attitude of treating his subordinates like family, perhaps he could truly bring peace to the world.
"Why did you come along? Didn't I tell you to stay in your clan's territory?" Indra turned around and saw Garuda not far away. He immediately frowned.
"Big brother! You don't need to say anything more, I'm definitely going no matter what!" Garuda insisted on going without even thinking, but at the same time she was a little anxious. If I was indirectly the cause of this war, my brother would skin me alive!
Yes, this war can be said to be inextricably linked to Garuda. If she hadn't instigated Tianqi to fight Indra, none of the subsequent events would have happened.
Hearing Garuda's words, Indra was secretly pleased, but he still said expressionlessly, "You'd better think this through. You know, your brother Mandala is here too. What will you do if he chooses you as his opponent?"
"Ah! This...this...!" Garuda was stunned upon hearing this, her expression changing repeatedly. What she feared most was her own brother, Mandala. From childhood to adulthood, Mandala had loved her like a father, and as the eldest brother, Mandala naturally became a towering figure in her heart. When she actually faced her brother, she panicked for a moment, looking like a helpless little woman. It was hard to believe that such a seemingly weak woman possessed such terrifying chakra.
"It's alright, I'll protect you from the mandala!" Tianqi said, looking at Garuda, who resembled a little woman.
Although he went to watch Indra's battle, he couldn't really just stand by and watch. A group of experts were fighting fiercely, and he couldn't just sit idly by. Although he couldn't interfere in the battle between Indra and Ashura, it wouldn't be bad to have some fun with the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura.
"Really? Are you serious?" Garuda's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. She grabbed Tianqi's arm and said happily. If Tianqi agreed to face her brother, then he would be unable to interfere with dealing with her second brother. At the same time, he could also help her block her brother. How could she not be happy about such a win-win situation? However, she quickly realized that her actions were a bit too intimate. She immediately blushed and quickly let go of Tianqi's arm.
"Of course it's true! I, Uchiha Tianqi, always keep my word! I always do what I say!" Seeing Garuda's shy and awkward appearance, Tianqi was dumbfounded. What's going on? Why is this girl suddenly acting like this? Could it be that she has a crush on me? This is not a good thing!
"Tianqi... thank you. You're the best person to me besides my brother. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you fight alone!" Garuda said with a blush on her face, then ran away with her head down, leaving Tianqi dumbfounded once again.
"Hahaha, Tianqi, I didn't realize you were so loyal. But Garuda's strength is by no means weak. You look down on her like that. Judging from her expression, she must be angry with you!" Indra laughed heartily.
Tian Qi rolled his eyes at the laughing Indra. This guy was an absolute idiot when it came to emotions. He actually mistook Garuda's expression for anger. How stupid could he be to have such a thought? He had dozens of children and still couldn't see things clearly. I really don't know how his deceased wives could have fallen for this guy.
It's said that when God opens a window for you, He also closes one. That's absolutely true. Tianqi thought he was pretty oblivious to matters of the heart, but he didn't expect Indra to be even more oblivious. It seems that people with strong abilities aren't too interested in romance!
