Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 383

That was hundreds of years ago, when the animals and plants still looked a bit ancient.

In a world that doesn't know what war is, even ordinary people don't have superfluous emotions such as disgust or worship when they look at Ninja.

When "he" looked from these people to "himself", in his calm eyes, he felt a long-lost feeling of "equality".

Perhaps, in their eyes, "themselves" are not much different from the crops or trees in the fields.

When he walked through the farming crowd and walked alone into the "city", "he" realized that this was a good era that did not need "heroes".

However, here's the weird thing.When people recall "their" past, even if it is "one's own" memory, the person looks at it from a third-party perspective.It's as if what is being recalled is someone else's memory.

Indra didn't look sideways and walked on the path he should take as usual, not caring about other people's eyes or what these people thought of him.

He walked across the street and passed by a group of people who had gathered together and were talking. He walked straight through the crowd without stopping at all.

Even if someone seemed to be greeting him from a distance away and wanted to tell him something, he would turn a blind eye.

Underfoot, the road gradually became smoother and wider.The surrounding buildings have also become neat and standardized.He arrived at the place he thought of, but since when did the security here become so tight?
Many years later, he realized that that day, the guards at the gate looked at him full of defense and hostility.

However, to him, these are just unimportant "side details".

No matter it was in the past, present or future, he would pass through the place they guarded so plainly.After all, who would think that "going home" is something that requires other people's consent?

It wasn't until he faced his "father" sitting there in the hall that he realized that everything seemed to have changed beyond recognition.

"You're back? Indra."

"Yes, father."

"Have you heard the rumors outside?..."

"No."

"Indra" stared at the man's face.

"That's right, there is no difference from the Six Paths Sage in the information." "He" thought as he was connected to Indra's memory.

"Ah, then let me tell you personally." The Sage of Six Paths looked a little helpless, "I have decided that your brother Asura will inherit the Ninja Sect. Indra, I really hope that you can too. Accept this decision."

His eyebrows immediately knitted together: "Brother? Asura? Why so suddenly? What's the reason???"

It was very difficult for him to accept it and he felt insulted in his heart.Isn't he the eldest son?Isn't he the natural heir?Asura?What can that mediocre brother do? ? ?He doesn't understand.

"For peace!!" The Immortal of the Six Paths replied resolutely, "I think only Asura can achieve true peace through the way of 'love'. He is the one who can connect the will of the people together. Indra, I do I think you are a little too self-centered."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think it's wrong to enforce yourself!!"

Being denied by his 'father', Indra's head that was held high could not help but lower. He stared at the 'father' in front of him and asked doubtfully, "And, you said peace! Could it be that we are not in a state of peace now?" Are there enemies? Are there enemies? Where are they???"

The Immortal of Six Paths sighed, seemingly despairing of him like this.

"Indra, I think you still don't understand that Ninja is the power to connect each other, so that everyone can communicate with each other. This is the most important! No one should use the power of Ninja to strengthen themselves, this is Iron law! Chakra and ninjutsu are both selfish things and taboos. No one is allowed to touch them..."

"..."

It was difficult to communicate, and at this moment, the two fell into absolute silence.

The eyes of father and son collided unceremoniously, and the world around them suddenly froze as if the pause button had been pressed.

Even the dust in the air stopped moving, as if they did not dare to break the balance between the two.

"What do you...what exactly do you mean?" Indra stared at the 'man' in front of him and spoke slowly, "Since when did it become taboo to practice ninjutsu and enhance one's chakra? ???" Indra's gaze towards the Sage of Six Paths became extremely deep, like an abyss, making people shudder, "You... are very strange. Who are you...?"

The Sage of Six Paths sighed: "I said, ninjutsu is something that should not appear. Chakra cannot be regarded as a private power that can be expanded at will. Why don't you understand?!"

"Oh?--"

Indra shook his head, perhaps feeling it was too ridiculous, and simply gave up trying to communicate with the person in front of him.He shook his head and suddenly laughed, "Then can you explain what's going on with you? From my point of view, you alone have more chakra than all of us combined. Why? , I have never seen you share your chakra with others?"

"..."

There was no response, and the Sage of the Six Paths calmly smiled at him with unknown meaning.

A smile that made him feel strange, like another person.

At this moment... the door behind him opened.

At this moment, Indra felt his body tense involuntarily, as if a loyal partner was reminding him that something terrible was happening.Indra looked back indifferently, as if he was compassionately granting the other person the honor of being noticed by him.He saw his younger brother Asura and the dense crowd behind him.

These people were all wearing Ninja sect clothes... Indra narrowed his eyes.

"You're here..." Sage of the Six Paths stood up from the high seat, with joy from the heart on his face, "I feel very proud when I see you, Asura."

He took a few steps forward and exchanged greetings with Asura who came up to him.Then, the gaze - the gaze of the Samsara Eye, passed over Asura, looked at the crowd behind him, and smiled again: "This is great!! You are like this, exactly what I want... ·”

"..." No one dared to reply.

Indra stood up straight and glanced at the group of people coldly, thoughtfully.

"Brother, you're back too." Asura turned to Indra and said with a smile, "You must have solved the task beautifully, right? No matter what, you can handle it well by yourself."

This younger brother's smile is still contagious. He is a guy who has been clumsy since he was a child and is completely unaffected by the atmosphere around him. He is inexplicably popular and hard to dislike.

Indra glanced at him and didn't want to speak.

"You are too indifferent, Indra." The Sage of Six Paths shook his head, "You are used to closing off your emotions. No matter how good you are, it will be of no use to the Ninja Sect. I hope you can consider the problem from everyone's perspective and integrate into it. This whole..."

"Overall??" Indra interrupted him and glanced at the crowd behind Asura. It could be seen from the excited expressions on their faces that perhaps these people had already obtained the information, and he was the only one who was still kept in the dark. , "It seems that I am the last person to learn that I have been deprived of inheritance rights?"

His words froze the surrounding air like winter.

The crowd who had shown joy just now immediately fell silent.

"Don't think too much!!" Immortal Six Paths frowned, "For such an important matter as the heir, of course I have to listen to everyone's opinions!"

Indra endured the strong feeling of disgust in his heart and asked in a humiliated tone: "In other words, my existence must be evaluated by these guys??"

His words were clearly addressed to the Immortal of Six Paths.

But all the people behind Asura were shedding cold sweat, and lowered their heads desperately, for fear that Indra's terrifying sight would fall on them...
"This is your problem!!" The Six Paths Immortal's expression was particularly majestic at this moment.

In those ancient well-free samsara eyes, Indra's calm, impenetrable face was reflected.

Similarly, Indra could not see through what the "father" in front of him was thinking.The confrontation between father and son was simply the most terrifying nightmare at that time. Even the clumsy Asura seemed to notice something and scratched his hair blankly.

In the end, Indra took a step back.

"In that case..."

Realizing that it was useless to fight against the Sage of the Six Paths, Indra took a deep breath, turned to Asura, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you want to take my brother's position?"

Asura blinked, looked at the Sage of Six Paths, and then at the crowd behind him.Just when Indra thought to himself, this younger brother was still so dumb.Asura nodded: "I think it would be better for me to be the heir."

"Do you think you can replace me?" Indra, who didn't expect his answer at all, couldn't help but tremble with his hands.

"No." Asura's eyes looked directly at Indra's complicated eyes, and there was no hesitation in his tone, "I think I am more suitable than my brother. I am already different."

Indeed, it’s different...

Indra lowered his head and stood alone on one side of the hall. He was not far from the people on the other side, but seemed to be separated by an abyss.

"Do you think you can do it?" Thousands of words finally turned into this sentence.

"As long as my brother can do it, I can do it too." To this, Asura's answer was unwavering.

"boom--"

Something is broken.

In his memory, he was a dull, stupid brother who needed to be taken care of by himself.

Noisy, annoying, adoring his subordinates.

A majestic, fair, and always correct father.

And, the one who is excellent, outstanding, carries out his own beliefs, and is born to be the heir.

In Indra's eyes, inexplicable power surged.The gap in reality is even deeper than the abyss imagined! !
"Indra, I hope you can assist your brother and become a part of the Ninja Sect instead of staying away from everyone." The Sage of Six Paths looked at him and stated his request to him.

Indra smiled, his cold smile was more chilling than the cold light in his pupils: "You? Everyone?——Are you worthy??"

This was his answer, and he never changed it, even when asked a hundred times.

In the sigh of the Sage of the Six Paths "it is so", Ninzong and Indra were completely separated, and all the connections of Chakra were pinned on Asura. For the first time in his life, Indra tasted the isolation and loneliness. taste.

Then, I tasted it countless times.

Time and time again, in reincarnation, he felt that he was isolated from this "world".

Time and time again, he saw that everyone was standing behind Asura, against him.

"...Everyone thinks so, you must obey everyone's will!!"

He knows the way to end it all, but this is the only thing he can't do! !
He picked up the knife, again and again, and used fighting to tell everything, but there was no one around him who could understand him.

Asura stood firmly on his opposite side and shouted loudly at him, saying that he would save him! !

He also opened his blind eyes, and looked at the person in front of him who had completely smashed his body into pieces with the black hole-like eye sockets.

What was reflected in Nagato's cold Rinnegan eyes was his soul-shattering appearance.

The beam of light that penetrated the boundless sea of ​​blood, while crushing Indra's soul, enveloped the expressionless Indra and the murderous Nagato, penetrated the deep and dark underground, and broke the barrier of space. , allowing the two of them to plunge into a world full of magma, like hell.

That is, the real world! ! !
The samsara eyes in Nagato's eye sockets swayed slightly involuntarily, extremely agile.After absorbing the energy dissipated from Indra's body, for the first time, a feeling of blood connection came from the Samsara Eye, which seemed to tell him that until now, it was not his eye! !
"boom!!!"

There was a crisp sound, which sounded so clear in the underground world filled with magma and rumbling incessantly.

This is the final voice of the existence named Indra.

Under the protection of the spherical natural energy, Nagato watched the countless powders Indra collapsed in front of him. In the eye sockets, the bottom layer of the eyes of reincarnation, the black shadows converged into three faint dots, approaching Gouyu. shape.

——New possibilities appear.

Nagato showed a joyful smile. After all the power belonging to Indra merged into his eyes, when he was about to see what was going on around him, Indra's shadow appeared and stubbornly returned to him. The sarcastic smile completely dissipated as the last powder in the air disappeared.

"...What does your smile mean?!!!"

Nagato suddenly felt bad. He didn't understand why Indra had the nerve to mock him with expressions even after losing. !

This person, ah, no, the quality of this ghost is too bad, right? !

On Nagato's forehead, the blue reincarnation eye turned slightly, and he saw clearly in an instant that this was exactly where the secret room was. However, the secret room and the magnificent temple had long been blown away, leaving only a huge The volcano is continuously erupting here, and he is at the innermost part of the volcano! !
"Ah, you actually penetrated that world and appeared in the magma?" Nagato shook his head. After receiving Indra's power, he threw Indra's bullshit memories out of his mind without hesitation. "I thought there would be a more shocking way to get out of trouble, like a space explosion? But -"

He turned around and looked at the little black man not far away who was running away quickly, and the "smart" little white snake that was crawling desperately in the opposite direction, and showed an evil smile.

"You two idiots don't think you can escape, do you?"

He maintained the natural energy shield outside his body and rushed out of the huge volcano in an instant. Then, he stretched out his hands to the two "cuties" who had already slipped far away.

"Immortal magic, the guidance of all things from heaven!"

So, ahhhhh——! ! !Amidst a series of terrified screams, one black and one white, two malicious guys flew towards him backwards.

With ten fingers, he pinched their necks and picked them up.
