"Who did this?! Who could have managed to assassinate Uncle Shuanghai so silently, without any of our intelligence knowing?!"
Ashura stood angrily before the already dead Shuanghai, his mind racing as he tried to guess who had this ability and what their motive was for killing him.
Sokai was the Sage of Six Paths' most loyal follower and his eldest disciple. After the establishment of the Ninja Sect, Sokai became the Sage of Six Paths' most capable subordinate, and his status rose accordingly. When Indra and Ashura were still young, Sokai was already the second most important person in the Ninja Sect and their mentor. However, now that his mentor has been murdered, how could Ashura not be furious?
"This chakra aura... it seems to belong to Uchiha Tenki. I've fought him before and am very familiar with his chakra. There's no mistake, this is Uchiha Tenki's chakra aura!" Mandala's face was ashen, and his fingernails were almost digging into his flesh. His eyes could see many things that ordinary people couldn't. Although he couldn't survey the world like Kaguya, it wasn't difficult for him to detect the residual chakra aura in the air.
It has to be said that Black Zetsu played this move very cleverly. When he went to the Ninja Sect Mountain, he went to the place where Tianqi had fought and used a special method to collect the remaining chakra that Tianqi had left there, which he then used to frame Tianqi.
"Uchiha Tenchi? It's that guy! Damn it, he's asking for death!" Ashura's eyes widened upon hearing this, filled with intense killing intent. Shuanghai was an elder from the same era as his father, and the only one still alive. Shuanghai not only assisted the Sage of Six Paths but also served as his mentor. Now that the person he respected most had been killed, Ashura could no longer suppress his anger.
"Taizang, quickly go down and mobilize all the troops. We're going to find Indra to demand the man. Today, I'll make Uchiha Tenchi pay for his crimes in blood!" Ashura gritted his teeth and glared at Taizang beside him.
Taizang was Ashura's best friend since childhood, and he was also Ashura's most supportive friend. No matter what decision Ashura made, he would support him without hesitation. Upon receiving the order, Taizang rushed to mobilize the army.
"What's going on? Why did Lord Ashura summon so many people?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. I'm telling you, I heard that Lord Shuanghai was suddenly assassinated last night, and it's said that it was done by a guy named Uchiha Tensei from Indra's side. Lord Ashura and several high-ranking officials are furious, and Ashura is about to lead people there to demand his release!"
"No way, Indra is so arrogant. Even if Uchiha Tensei really did something like that, Indra probably won't hand over the person so easily. Then there will be another big battle!"
More than 15,000 members of the Ninja Clan stood in a huge field, whispering among themselves, their words tinged with worry. While they felt sorry for Shuanghai's death, they were even more concerned about the upcoming war. Only half a month had passed since the last war, and now another war was about to begin. The wars had come so quickly lately that they hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath. In the past, there would only be a war every six months, but now it was almost every ten days or so. This was simply...
A moment later, Ashura arrived with the mandala, and everyone immediately fell silent, watching Ashura and awaiting his command.
Meanwhile, Indra, who had been in seclusion for more than ten days, also mobilized all his people and continued to advance southward.
"Indra, where are we going?" Tianqi asked in confusion. Although he had already guessed what was going on, he still wanted to confirm with Indra.
"Yes, brother, where exactly are you taking us?" Garuda was also completely bewildered. After his brother Indra finished his secluded cultivation, he excitedly summoned the army and headed south, but no one knew why.
Indra ignored Garuda and instead looked at Tianqi, saying, "Tianqi, have you ever heard of the Six Paths Tomb?"
"The Six Paths Tomb? What's going on here?"
Although he guessed that Indra was going to a small island in the South China Sea, he knew nothing about the Six Realms Tomb.
"My father, that old guy, was known as the Sage of Six Paths and founded the Ninja Sect. Because of this, he had a magnanimity that ordinary people could not possess. In his eyes, everyone was his family. So, for me and Ashura, he only passed on this power to us. As for all the good things he had, he buried them all in his tomb, which is what I call the Six Paths Tomb, the old guy's burial place!"
Perhaps sensing Tianqi's confusion, Indra offered an explanation, though his tone was filled with displeasure. Clearly, Indra harbored various grievances against his father, whether it was the denial of his ideals or the burying of precious things—these were all things that Indra resented.
"Oh, I see. So what is your purpose this time?" Tian Qi appeared calm on the surface but was shocked on the inside. He hadn't expected that place to be the tomb of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki. If he could see the Sage of Six Paths' body in person, the trip would be worthwhile. However, Indra was just taking them there like this. It seemed that he already knew where the tomb of the Sage of Six Paths was. But could he be planning to dig up his father's grave? Would Indra really be so heartless?
"Purpose? Of course, it's to open the tomb and take back what belongs to me!" Indra sneered, casually stating the purpose of his trip.
"No! You can't go! Uncle Yuyi is your father, how can you do this!" Upon hearing that Indra was going to open Uncle Yuyi's tomb, Garuda immediately stood in front of him. She would never allow such a thing as digging up her own father's tomb to happen.
Although Tianqi also felt that what he was doing was a bit immoral, he didn't stop him in order to return to the future. He knew that Indra had opened the Rinnegan there, which created that time-space portal. In order to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to his family, Tianqi could only pretend that he couldn't see Indra doing such a heartless thing.
"Garuda, don't block my way. Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Besides, didn't you hear me say I'm going to take back what belongs to me? Get out of my way!" Indra frowned as he looked at Garuda, who was blocking his path. With Tianqi and Asura above him, he couldn't care less about his sister at the moment in order to improve his strength.
“Brother, you’ve changed. You’re no longer the brother I knew. My brother Indra was loyal and righteous, and he loved his family dearly. But now you’re digging up your own father’s grave, doing such a heinous thing. You’re not my brother anymore, not at all!” Garuda said, tears streaming down her face. Only now did she realize that the brother Indra who protected his younger siblings was no longer there.
