Chapter 510 Indra and Asura

As the son of the Sage of the Six Paths, Indra naturally has his own "love" in his heart.

It's just that he is aloof by nature, and he never easily expresses his 'love' to others, even to his own father. He just seals this 'love' deep in his heart and takes it out when necessary.

It is a kind of 'love' with power as its shell. People can only see his mentality of advocating violence too much, instead of paying attention to where he applies this violence and what his original intention is.

In Baishi's view, if Indra spread the 'love' of his own power to the people without establishing a sound law, then the coming of war is inevitable.

In other words, Indra overestimated the awareness of ordinary human beings.

Put oneself and others, his original intention is to let the civilians who have learned strength limit the power of the nobles, use force to deter them, and let the nobles come to the negotiating table to fight for their own interests, instead of relying on pure massacres.

But civilians who have learned violence choose the most direct and brutal way to gain their own interests.

Admittedly, this is also an option.

However, due to the lack of effective regulations and failure to take into account the situation afterwards, this method led to the complete runaway of civilians and even more serious consequences.

Hearing about Indra's deeds, Baishi was even more convinced that it was the correct behavior not to rashly popularize the cultivation method of natural energy.

Because there are regulations on this aspect, they have not been fully formulated, and the country of ghosts does not currently have the "force" to limit such riots, and the response is insufficient.

So it can only be promoted in a small range internally, and those who have learned this power must strictly use the 'contract' to restrain them.

If such power is used by ambitious people with ulterior motives, then this will not become a power that benefits the human world, but destroys human civilization and humanity.

Indra's seal and art can only be aimed at the ninja group, but natural energy is a common force for human beings... Neither Shiraishi nor the kingdom of ghosts can afford the consequences of such a rampage.

As long as there is no 100% probability of success, Shiraishi will not gamble on this uncertain future.

"So, did you prevent this war in the past?"

Shiraishi finally asked.

Indra did not deny, but nodded and admitted, and said: "The war caused by me will naturally be ended by me. In this way, the fire cannot be covered with paper. My father learned the cause and effect, taught me a severe lesson, and shut me down for a long time. In my impression, I remember that this is the first time my father got so angry with me. Even if I disobeyed him many times before, he has never been so angry."

Indra smiled wryly.

For his father, Sage of the Six Paths, he both yearns for and hates him very much.

"But I know that the reason why my father is so angry is not because of my attempt, nor is it because I acted without telling him beforehand. The real reason for blaming me is because after I made this mistake, during the confinement period, I had no intention of repenting at all. Instead, I became more and more involved in the study of seal and art. At that time, I saw fear and murderous intent in my father's eyes!"

Indra lowered his head, with a complicated expression on his face.

Baishi looked at Indra slightly puzzled.

Fear and murderous intent?

Although it is a bit unbelievable, there may be deeper reasons for this.

Indra then said: "Father saved the world from my grandmother, but I know that he has always been afraid of my grandmother who wants to control the world. The Indian art I studied has already triggered a wrong war, and my father is afraid that I will become the next grandmother if I go down this twisted path. But I don't think Indian art is an evil thing, just like a blacksmith forging a kitchen knife. The kitchen knife itself is neutral, but if it falls into evil people, it will naturally become a murder weapon. The most important thing is to look at the person who masters the technique and the seal."

"But if you do this, it will probably arouse the dissatisfaction of the immortal."

"That's right, although I don't think the previous mistakes are failures, it's just because I didn't find the right way, but my father thinks that Yin and Jutsu, which has caused disputes, is an evil path that will give birth to more disasters. In addition, Yin and Jutsu, the essence is power, and relying on violence to stabilize the world is completely contrary to the concept of connecting people with chakra and using love to influence the world that Ninja believes in."

Indra didn't explain the following words, and Baishi could guess the direction of the next thing.

In the era when Ninja sect was the mainstream thought, Indra's idea was undoubtedly a heresy, and it appeared in the family of the founder of Ninja sect openly. If it was publicized, it would also cause a huge blow to the reputation of Ninja sect.

Sage of the Six Paths hopes that through this mistake, Indra will reflect on himself and join Ashura's "love" camp, so that the next generation of Ninja will no longer have friction and brothers will live in harmony.

However, because of Indra's arrogance, because of this failure, he was more immersed in the development of seal and art, insisting that his own path is right, just because he lacks something, as long as he finds this kind of thing, then seal and art can be used in the right way.

But even though he had failed, he still insisted on his own opinion, which naturally made the Sage of the Six Paths feel that he was hopeless and disappointed in him.

Among them, there may be reasons why the Sage of the Six Paths is afraid that Indra will become the next Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"When I was looking for the road, time passed day by day, and a lot of wrinkles appeared on the face of my invincible father..."

Indra lamented the ruthlessness of time, even the existence of Sage of the Six Paths could not resist the blade of time.

"At this time, Ninja Sect has also reached a critical turning point in deciding the successor. The battle between me and Asura, or the conflict, has also completely exploded."

Compared to Asura's "love", Indra knows that his "strength" is not loved by his father, the Sage of the Six Paths, but the trial of the heir must ultimately rely on strength to speak.

So Indra, who has stronger power, will naturally not be afraid of any challenge.

I believe that whatever problems I face, I must be better than Asura in handling them.

But Baishi knew that Indra had failed in this trial.

"The content of the test is very simple. My father asked me and Ashura to go to two villages that lack water to dig wells, so that the villagers there can enjoy sufficient water. I used my own strength to dig a well in less than an hour, while the villagers led by Asura took more than half a year to dig out."

"With Asura's strength, it's impossible to dig a well so slowly, right?"

Shiraishi asked with a frown.

"Although Asura's strength is far inferior to mine, digging a well is not difficult for him, but he chose the longest and most troublesome way to dig a well with the villagers in the most primitive way."

Indra said.

"From this point of view, you should have won this match."

From the perspective of a bystander, Indra's victory is inevitable.

"I lost."

Indra's answer made Baishi startled and fell into a daze.

Is there any trap here?

"The well I dug, people started fighting for more water. Although Asura's efficiency was slow, but because of the close relationship with the villagers in half a year, the people there obeyed Asura's orders."

"Didn't you stop it?"

Baishi considered that it was a village short of water. If no one made rules for water intake, this situation would indeed happen.

"I fell into deep thought, watching these people fight, and I don't understand why they still fight when there is enough water. This kind of problem is very similar to the result I spread to the common people. I don't know which link has gone wrong. It wasn't until I passed away for many years and thought for a long time in the dark that I gradually realized. That is the lack of the 'order' you alluded to before. Although I helped them, I didn't help them establish a proper order, allowing them to grow wildly. Although Luo's speed was slow, in the tacit understanding of time, he gained the trust of the villagers, established a preliminary order, and did not trigger a fight over the water source."

It only took a short moment for Indra to go from dissatisfaction, jealousy to relief.

Even though he didn't agree with Asura's philosophy, after his death, he gradually understood that Asura's path is not useless and has merits.

I even started to think, if I integrate Asura's 'love' into my own concept, will it completely perfect the shortcomings in my concept?

"Yeah?"

Baishi thought slightly, thinking that people in that era did not have a very rich level of knowledge, and it was not easy to think to this level.

"Actually, there is one thing I don't understand."

"tell me the story."

Indra did not put on any airs, and talked with Shiraishi as a peer.

"If the purpose of this trial is to test the ability of the two of you to unite and cooperate, then Asura's victory is understandable. But in fact, if it is really a village that lacks water, it took more than half a year to dig a well, and many people will die in the process."

A ray of light appeared in Shiraishi's eyes.

This is where Baishi thinks that the trial of the Sage of the Six Paths is not common sense.

It is right to want to test the team's ability, but in practice, Asura's approach will kill many people.

Even in today's era, many areas are seriously short of water, such as the country of wind.

Although Indra's approach was a bit too impatient, if the regulations were established in advance and hung on these people with strength, it would be enough to restrain their behavior, and they could quickly go to the next village short of water, follow suit one by one, and save more people in a very short time.

Although Asura's approach has united many people, considering the reality, countless people will die due to lack of water.

In that era, the population was a very important labor force. Even now, various countries are encouraging more children.

All the reasons can only be attributed to Ninzong's thoughts, which is too much advocating ideals, and ignoring practical problems.

Although Indra's approach is crude, it can retain more humans and increase the productivity of that era.

"..." Regarding Baishi's sharp proposal, Indra's expression changed, and he sighed: "I didn't think about it that much at the time, and now that I think about it, my father's opinion at that time is no longer important. The only fact is that I lost to Asura, who has always been inferior to me in strength."

Although Baishi's words will make him feel better, he won't be so disappointed.

But he didn't consider it so comprehensively at the time, and it did cause many serious consequences.

It is too late to remedy it now.

"At that time, my mind suddenly went blank, and I felt that world peace and what guided human happiness were nothing but insignificant things! My jealousy towards Asura and my dissatisfaction with my father became the fuse of the later fights instead."

Indra patted his forehead angrily, probably regretting his runaway at that time.

"Unwilling and angry, I left the territory of the ninja sect, found a hidden place, and devoted myself to the study of seal and art, so as to gain more powerful power and revenge on Asura. But seal and art are not so easy to perfect, until something comes..."

Indra's Sharingan suddenly became deep.

"thing?"

Baishi had a strange expression on his face.

"It was a guy covered in black. I don't know his origin, but I can feel a familiar atmosphere from it. It's just that I wanted to avenge Asura at the time, and I didn't care about this guy. As long as he can help me in my revenge, I don't mind being the blade in his hand."

Indra's expression was very calm. Although it was impossible for him to be so calm at the time, he, who has long passed away, was just narrating a matter that seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Black does not slip into autumn...

Baishi was thoughtful.

Speaking of which, there is a similar guy in Akatsuki's organization.

"He called him Hei Jue."

Indra said indifferently.

"Cough!"

Shiraishi coughed suddenly, as if he was choking, his face was full of shock.

Indra also noticed Shiraishi's expression and smiled amusedly.

"It seems that even after a thousand years, he still survived very well? I knew that this guy didn't die so easily. After I lost to Asura in the last battle, he disappeared. It seems that he wants to continue to hide in the dark and plan something."

Indra's words made Shiraishi feel extremely heavy.

Heijue...what the **** is this thing?

Or is it that the Heijue in the Akatsuki organization and the Heijue in Indra's mouth are not the same existence?

Baishi became more and more confused, and finally took a deep breath before calming down slowly.

"Can you tell me who he is?"

Baishi humbly asked Indra for advice with the idea that the two black monsters were the same person.

Indra shook his head and said: "As I said before, I don't know his origin, but he funded my research and maliciously provoked me to fight with Asura later, as if he was preparing for something."

"Prepare?"

"I don't know the specifics. His ability to hide so deeply means that he doesn't like his purpose to be seen through. If you want to know the answer, you have to find it yourself. I can only give you a hint hereyou can try to get it from my grandmother, maybe you can get some useful information."

Indra said, it can be seen that he is not very interested in the purpose of Heijue.

In the second half of his life, he has always been fighting with Asura, so the rats in the ditch will not be put in his eyes.

If that mouse is strong enough, it won't use his power to accomplish some ulterior purpose.

Baishi was thoughtful.

Indra's grandmother is Kaguya Otsutsuki, the goddess of Mao.

And the things associated with this goddess of Mao must be unusual.

Moreover, there is very little information about Sage of the Six Paths in the ninja world, and it is even more difficult to obtain information about the older Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"Although I still want to talk to you about the future, but after talking to you for so long, I don't seem to have much desire to know about the future."

Indra put down the wooden stick in his hand, slowly stood up from the campfire, sighed softly, looked at the campfire, as if he was nostalgic for something, but finally turned into a touch of determination.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

Baishi was slightly surprised and understood something.

"Yeah, I'm already a dead person, and I shouldn't have nostalgia for the world of the living. After I lost to Asura, I was very unwilling, so I kept reincarnating my own chakra, boarding it among my offspring, and fighting with the same reincarnation of Asura forever..."

Indra had a self-deprecating smile on his face, as if laughing at his childish behavior.

"The grievances that have lasted for thousands of years should have come to an end long ago. In the endless dark years, it was Ashura who gave me firm belief and resolved my loneliness. In the face of these years, I don't know where I threw that childish hatred..."

Brothers whose blood is thicker than water, but also rivals who are incompatible with fire and water, and enemies who fight each other...

The hatred and jealousy towards Asura had already dissipated in Indra's heart.

"Thank you for listening to my nagging for such a long time. It's time to say goodbye. In the end, I will leave my 'seed' in the body of this reincarnated person, and it will be opened at the right time. It will be regarded as an insignificant compensation for living for such a long time."

There is no sadness, and the nostalgia in the eyes also disappears.

Indra raised his hand, and a ball of light flew out from his chest. It first stayed in Indra's hand reluctantly, and then flew into the endless dark world, disappearing.

Baishi looked at Indra's approach and didn't stop him.

"Then, this is a parting gift for you, which records some of my superficial views on seal and art. I hope you can make good use of this power, and don't just leave regrets like me..."

Indra took out part of his own chakra and flew into Shiraishi's body.

There was a lot of information intertwined in it, but Baishi didn't absorb it immediately, and it would not be too late to absorb this knowledge after he went out.

"Although it is difficult to help you with my strength, my wife is your descendant. If you have unfinished business, I can try my best to complete it for you."

Baishi also stood up, looked at Indra and said.

"No, enough is enough. Although it is a bit irresponsible to say so, the important task of guiding human beings should be left to you descendants to complete. Whether it is me or Asura, there seems to be something missing. And the answer..."

Indra smiled slightly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about such unhappy things. Now, when I think back to the happiest thing in my life, I am snuggling with Asura in my father's warm embrace, looking at the beautiful and bright starry sky in the deserted wilderness..."

Indra whispered softly.

Unexpectedly, the person he once hated the most is now the person he cares about the most in his life.

The impermanence of fate made Indra feel extremely wonderful.

This starry sky is no longer the starry sky in his impression.

He released azure blue light all over his body, and finally turned into a blue light beam, flew towards the darkness, and disappeared from Baishi's eyes.

The campfire shook a bit.

The flame goes out.

Darkness swept in, engulfing the white room.

"just"

Liuli's voice sounded in the ward.

But her words attracted Obito's puzzled expression.

"Just now? Did something happen?"

"It seems that something flew past our eyes..."

Lin didn't seem to be very sure.

"Do you feel the same way?"

Liuli asked.

If I am the only one who feels this way, it may be an illusion, but if Lin, who has learned the spirit technique, also notices something abnormal, it must not be an illusion.

There was indeed something that flew away from them just now.

Lin nodded and fell into deep thought, feeling that a lot of strange things happened today.

Only Obito was there with a dazed face, wondering what Liuli and Lin were talking about, did he really miss something important?

The outside sky.

Indra's chakra flew towards the boundless sky, and the people on the ground, in his eyes, had become smaller than ants.

Ziyuan City, the capital of the ghost country, is also in his eyes.

In the end, I probably wanted to watch this beautiful human scene again. Indra's Chakra kept his human form. When he flew to a certain height, he did not continue to lift off, but stopped somewhere, carefully scanning every scene of the earth with his eyes, as if he wanted to firmly imprint these scenes in his mind and remember them forever.

"Is this the city of this era? It's really prosperous..."

Indra showed a look of exclamation.

Leaving the dark and silent world, once again seeing the scene in the world, expressing unprecedented emotion.

In the era he lived in, many people were disheveled and the city was in dilapidated condition. The city with a large population and magnificent buildings was something that Indra could not even imagine.

Judging from the affluent expressions on people's faces, their lives have a more solid guarantee.

Moreover, the dense chakra reaction, compared with the people of his time, seems to have a deeper control over chakra, rather than rough use.

This touched Indra very much, and felt that the seals and techniques he created were not useless as his father said.

In this hereafter, it can also emit beautiful brilliance.

Indra didn't miss her for too long, so he quickly looked back and was about to leave.

Just as he was about to do this, another figure maintained by Chakra flew over from below.

Even though we haven't seen each other for many years, Indra still has an unforgettable aura, and a smile of relief and longing appears on Indra's face.

"It's been a thousand years, brother."

When he said this, he also seemed to see the human form maintained by Chakra, and the same smile appeared on his face.

The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything, as if all the resentment and hostility disappeared without words.

Finally, the two of them looked back at the land that once gave birth to them at the same time.

It seems that they have returned to their childhood, they are just a pair of brothers talking about their ideals under the stars, rather than enemies who later confronted each other and killed each other.

"Farewell, future generations. Farewell to... the world!"
