Tianqi was also looking at Indra with a strange expression. To be honest, he also disliked the idea of digging up one's own father's grave.
"Don't look at me like that. Although I believe in the supremacy of strength, I'm not so depraved as to be completely heartless. What I did was entirely the old man's idea!" Seeing his beloved little sister crying incessantly and Tianqi's strange gaze, Indra had no choice but to explain.
"Uncle, how could that be? Who would want someone to dig up their grave, not even their own son!" Garuda stopped crying, but still didn't believe Indra's words.
Tianqi nodded in agreement. Yes, no one would ask him to dig up a grave; Indra's explanation was not convincing.
"Hmph! I, Indra, am not one to lie. I visited the old man a few years ago when he was nearing the end of his life. He told me that if I ever found myself powerless, I should go to his tomb, where he left me something. At the time, I didn't care much, since I could never be powerless. But recently, I've realized that I'm no match for Asura, so I thought of that tomb. I'm taking you there so we can grab a few artifacts to boost our strength!"
Yes, a few days before the Sage of Six Paths was about to die, Indra went to see him alone. Although he had denied his own beliefs, he was still his biological father. In the end, Indra did not fail to see him off because of his dislike for him. This shows that Indra was not an evil person, but simply had a conflict of beliefs with his family.
"Oh, is that so? Why didn't you say so earlier, brother? I was so worried about you!" Garuda was completely convinced after hearing this. He wiped the tears off his face and pouted in dissatisfaction.
"I told you long ago that we're going to take back what belongs to me. If you don't believe me, who can you blame but yourself!" Indra rolled his eyes at Garuda and continued the army's march south toward the Six Realms Tomb.
After hearing Indra's explanation, Tianqi smiled. When he watched Naruto, he always felt that Hagoromo Otsutsuki was too biased. Indra and Ashura were both his own sons, so how could he favor Ashura? It turns out that when he passed on the Six Paths power to Ashura, he also left a contingency plan for Indra. It seems that in the end, Hagoromo Otsutsuki did not give up on his clever eldest son. Things are getting more and more interesting.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Asura was leading tens of thousands of troops, marching in a mighty force towards the land of the Indra clan.
"It's terrible, Lord Ashura! Indra has led Uchiha Tensei and his army south!" Just then, a member of the Ninja Clan rushed up to Ashura and respectfully reported.
"They've left? Did they hear our army was coming and flee with their men?" Mandala asked疑惑地问道, listening to the report from the Ninja Clan member.
Upon hearing this, Ashura shook his head and said, "I know Indra. He would rather die than run away from me. There must be another reason for him to do this. Besides, if he were to run away, how could he only take the army? He should at least take those ordinary followers with him!"
"If he didn't run away, then what was the reason?" Mandala thought this made a lot of sense. This Brother Indra was a well-known hardliner, and he wouldn't do something as undignified as running away.
"Yes! What was it all for?" Ashura had also recovered from the anger over the killing of the two seas. As the leader of the Ninja Sect, he had to remain calm at all times, but this revenge was a must. Ashura stroked his chin and began to ponder the various reasons why Indra had done this.
This guy is known for his clear goals and actions. There must be a major reason why he did this, otherwise he wouldn't have mobilized such a large army. But what exactly is the reason?
Ashura stroked his chin, pondering for a full ten minutes, until he looked south and muttered, "South, south, what is it about the south that could attract Indra? The south? Wait, could it be that's his target?"
Suddenly Ashura realized something. His eyes widened in disbelief. After much thought, only the Six Paths Tomb in the south could attract Indra, but he was still unsure. Indra shouldn't be that crazy yet.
"Second brother, has something come to mind?" Mandala asked, seeing Ashura's wide eyes.
"Could it be that I displayed too much strength, or that he found out I had acquired all nine tailed beasts and that I was too strong, which pushed him to his limit!" Ashura muttered to himself, completely ignoring Mandala's words. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Second Brother? Second Brother?" Seeing that Ashura ignored him and was still muttering to himself, Mandala touched Ashura's shoulder and called out.
"Oh no! Indra is about to launch a surprise attack! Tai Zang, lead the army south at full speed! Mandala, come with me quickly!" After giving the orders to Tai Zang, Asura grabbed the bewildered Mandala and rushed south.
As Ashura advanced rapidly, he explained the reason to Mandala, while the Ninja Clan's army, lacking Ashura's speed, could only follow far behind.
On the other side, Tianqi stared at Indra's back with great hesitation. He knew that Indra was destined to die on this journey. Although he did not know where Asura was, the gears of fate would surely bring the two together. As a descendant of Indra for more than ten generations, watching his ancestor die like this made Tianqi feel very uncomfortable.
Although his soul was from another time, this physical body was indeed a descendant of Indra. Tianqi disliked the feeling of knowing his ancestor was in trouble but being unable to save him.
"Tianqi, what's wrong?" Garuda asked, seeing Tianqi looking depressed and as if something was on his mind.
Upon hearing this, Indra slowed down and walked alongside Tianqi. Indra patted Tianqi's shoulder with one hand and said, "Just say what's on your mind. I've noticed along the way that you've been acting strangely ever since you learned we were going to the Six Paths Tomb. Tell me what's wrong, and maybe I can help you find the answer."
For some reason, Indra always had a strange feeling towards Tianqi, as if they were family. If someone was stronger than him, he should at least fight them with all his might, if not hate them. But Tianqi gave him a completely different feeling. Not only did Tianqi have his shadow, but that strange feeling also made him lose all motivation to fight him. This strange feeling was very peculiar.
