Chapter 386, Eighth Issue—
【"The Eighth Agenda"————】
The moment the words fell, a humming sound of spatial tremors suddenly echoed across the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War!
Two new mirror walls burst forth from the void, towering majestically! And at once, two of them appeared! Simultaneously connecting two new timelines!!
"Here we go again! Where will it connect to this time?"
"Watch out! Back off!"
The ninjas cried out and leaped back, watching the newly appeared mirror wall warily.
Just as everyone was speculating, both mirrored walls lit up simultaneously—
A piercing and sharp thunderclap pierced through the lens and resounded throughout the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War!
Lightning exploded, blinding blue-white electric sparks filling the battlefield of the Fourth War through the massive mirror wall!
The intense light forced everyone to raise their arms to shield their eyes.
"That lightning release—is that Kakashi-sensei?"
Naruto squinted his stinging eyes, trying hard to see the scene in the mirror clearly.
Sasuke, who was standing nearby, could clearly see that the person appearing in the two mirrors was indeed a man using Lightning Release, but it was not Kakashi.
"It's not Kakashi—"
But this person—they had seen him before—
When Madara Uchiha saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but frown slightly!
As the light of the Lightning Release and the deafening thunder subsided, the ninjas of the Fourth Shinobi World War and the two newly connected timelines all heard the sound of the barrage of bullets:
"Between Indra and Asura, whose path is correct?"
[Agenda Time - 30 minutes]
Upon hearing the names Indra and Ashura, the Sage of Six Paths, who was temporarily existing in the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War in spirit form, was visibly taken aback.
His Rinnegan stared at the two mirror walls. He never expected that the topic of discussion among the "all-knowing gods" on the barrage wall would be which of his two sons' paths was right and which was wrong.
Even more unexpectedly, these two newly connected timelines were: one was when Indra and Ashura were children, when the two brothers were still innocent and carefree, and the other was the trial that caused Indra to angrily leave the Ninja Sect—
Indra's Sharingan Awakening Timeline —
Indra, in the manner of a guardian, shielded his weeping brother Asura behind him.
His newly formed Sharingan eyes, adorned with three tomoe, still retained the sharp, electric light he had used when slaying the giant boar with Lightning Release.
The initial awakening of his Sharingan, coupled with the hasty attack, caused his chest to heave violently and his breathing to become erratic.
Still holding a trace of lingering fear from almost losing his younger brother Ashura, he glared fiercely at the wild boar that he had killed with a single blow.
A powerful force lies dormant within you, but awakening this force has a condition: the loss of love.
The words of that strange fellow echoed in Indra's ears again, preventing him from immediately noticing the life-size mirror that connected to another timeline.
Meanwhile—
Timeline of the Ninja Clan Successor Trial Ending —
When Indra was enraged by the news that Ashura had inherited the Ninja Sect, he noticed a strange power suddenly appearing around him and Ashura.
Wanting to vent his displeasure and also to demonstrate his power, to prove that he was the more qualified successor to the Ninja Clan—Ashura immediately used his powerful Lightning Release technique, striking the suddenly appearing, glass-like object!
【00:29:59】
Indra's fierce attack failed to leave the slightest mark on the glass mirror, and a hint of undisguised shock finally flashed across his eyes.
Even more surprisingly, when the Sage of Six Paths, seated in the main seat of the Ninja Sect, saw the plump little divine tree in the mirror, his hand holding the Sage's Staff tightened slightly, and a barely perceptible ripple flashed in his deep eyes.
Even though he had transformed into a harmless and adorable figure, he still recognized him at a glance!
That was the sacred tree he and his younger brother Hamura had fought together for a month!
【00:29:58】
【00:29:57】
【00:29:56】
"Father! What are these numbers?!" Ashura asked anxiously.
"Foolish fellow!" Indra interrupted sharply before the Sage of Six Paths could speak.
He stared at the numbers flashing on the mirror and said coldly, "That's a 55-minute countdown!"
At this moment, his inner thoughts and actions were in conflict—reason looked down on Asura, who couldn't even decipher such simple information, and thought that Asura was not worthy of being his opponent.
However, Indra acted faster than he thought, instinctively turning to the side to separate the strange mirror from his "incompetent" brother.
This almost instinctive behavior was perhaps something even Indra himself was unaware of.
The Sage of Six Paths remained silent, recalling the voice he had heard earlier: "Indra and Asura, whose path is truly correct?"
As he was pondering, a strange light flashed in his Rinnegan, and then he was already outside!
Indra and Asura, who had rushed out to chase after them, also saw the sky filled with writing—
[The Sage of Six Paths has warped values! He's the one who caused all this mess. Even Indra, who was such a model student when he was young, was turned into a villain by him.] 10+ people liked this. [Indra and Ashura were originally a loving and respectful brother. Ashura himself didn't want to compete with his brother. He naturally assumed that his brother would become the leader of the Ninja Sect, and he would just follow orders and assist his brother.]
But look at the stupid things the Sage of Six Paths did! He developed a persecution complex because of his mother, Kaguya! He kept thinking that his son, after awakening the Sharingan, was just like his mother, so he decided to let Ashura inherit the Ninja Clan. But since ancient times, the practice of deposing the eldest son and establishing the youngest has always been the root of chaos! 】10+ people think this is great【Speaking of awakening the Sharingan, didn't the Sage of Six Paths awaken it himself? Yet he kept doubting his own son?】
If he wanted to eliminate the Otsutsuki bloodline, he might as well cut off his own testicles! Wouldn't it be better to have a good reputation? More secure? Otherwise, who knows if genes might skip generations? 】10+ people liked this. "W-Who's talking?!"
The disciples of the Ninja Sect also came outdoors and gathered in the spacious open area. They looked up at the words that were disrespectful to the Sage of Six Paths and were dumbfounded. These words were not only straightforward, but some were also extremely rude!
What, what does it mean to cut off the testicles?
The latent conditioned reflexes of humans made the male disciples of the Ninja Sect, including Indra and Ashura, feel a sense of unease. [The Sage of Six Paths chose Ashura, and then the Ninja Sect became about ninjas and the Ninja World. The Hundred Clans of the Ninja World, the Ninja World War—the war has never ceased. Clearly, Ashura's path is wrong.] Over 10 people found this comment very helpful. Seeing this, Ashura, who had never intended to seize the Ninja Sect, became even more convinced that he couldn't govern it. He pleaded with their father, the Sage of Six Paths, "Father! You've seen it too! It would have been the right choice to hand the Ninja Sect over to my brother! I simply don't have the ability to govern the Ninja Sect!"
Asura —
Indra's pale purple lower eyelids, paired with his crimson Sharingan, no longer conveyed the controlling affection of a parent when he looked at his younger brother, but rather the resentment of being feignedly pitied after defeat!
"Shut up, Asura!" Indra shouted angrily, silencing Asura, who then blamed his discontent on his father's strange trial and arbitrary conclusion.
[The Ninja Clan became the Ninja World, the Hundred Clans of the Ninja World, and the Ninja World War—wasn't this all part of Black Zetsu's script? He was the one secretly interfering in everything.] 10+ people liked this. "Black Zetsu?"
Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, frowned slightly.
He was certain he had never heard of this person before. Could he be a heretic who would appear in the Ninja Clan in the future? Or some kind of scourge lurking in the shadows?
However, what bothered him more than the name itself were the judgments conveyed in the text. It was as if someone could peer into the river of time and space, arbitrarily criticizing his decision to choose an heir? And even bluntly stating that choosing Ashura was a mistake?
If it's just a bluff—
Yu Yi gazed at the shifting scene, her eyes growing increasingly profound.
That confident tone about the future didn't sound fake, but it also didn't sound like future generations evaluating their predecessors.
That calm and absolute demeanor, on the contrary, resembled a top-down examination.
[Asura inherits the family fortune, while Indra is kicked out. It's perfectly normal for the two families to fight. Blame it on the Six Paths for abandoning the eldest son and establishing the youngest. Normally, the family fortune should be divided equally. If not, I believe Indra could accept a 60/40 or 70/30 split!] 100,000+ people thought this comment was great. Everyone looked at Indra.
That cold, humiliated expression clearly indicated that she couldn't accept it.
[How could he accept that?! From a young age, Indra received education and shouldered responsibilities that were geared towards becoming the future successor of the Ninja Sect. But the Sage of Six Paths, worried that his eldest son would resemble his mother Kaguya, orchestrated an ambiguous trial, deposing the eldest son and establishing the younger one in favor. Let alone 64, 73, or 55, even if Indra were to inherit 9 and Ashura 1, he still wouldn't accept it! He, Ashura, and even the entire Ninja Sect had originally agreed that of the two brothers, Indra would inherit the Ninja Sect, and Ashura would follow and assist him.] 10+ people found this very helpful. [Indra felt Ashura's methods were wrong, it had nothing to do with inheritance. Actually, it really should have been given to Indra. Indra is just a bit extreme, but he's not a bad person. If he were in power, Ashura would naturally assist him.] 10+ people found this very helpful. [Not bad, just killed the only two people who followed him for power?] [10+ people think this is great. You should know that at this moment, Indra has not yet killed those who follow him in order to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan. This comment undoubtedly makes those Ninja Sect disciples who still want to follow him feel a chill in their hearts!]
They glanced furtively at Asura, who was gazing at the sky with his face covered. Although they couldn't determine how much of the text was true and how much was false, they were clearly beginning to consider retreating.
[Asura's so-called love and peace are all wishful thinking nonsense! He hasn't even tried to resolve the fundamental conflict of resource allocation, yet he's already fantasizing about building some kind of community in a high-martial arts world—it's ridiculous!] 10+ people found this very helpful. [Indra wants to establish rules that everyone must abide by, regardless of the reason. Asura believes that even with rules, it's inevitable to break them for those who truly need help if there are extenuating circumstances. Both sound correct, but neither is correct, because once a rule is broken, new rules must be created to constrain it. New rules are broken, and then newer rules are created to repair it. Human dignity and shame have neither an upper nor a lower limit, so once a breach is made, the repair is almost endless!] 10+ people found this very helpful. Human dignity and shame have neither an upper nor a lower limit —
This was a rhetoric that Indra had never considered.
However, the comments scrolled by too quickly.
Even for him, there wasn't enough time to fully consider the pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages of many things.
[Actually, Ashura is quite pitiful too. His father forced him into this situation, turning him and his brother into enemies!]
10+ people found this very helpful: [Asura and Indra are no longer as peaceful as they were in their childhood. The weaker Asura is, the more Indra feels he must become stronger to protect him.] 10+ people found this very helpful. Is that right?
When Ashura saw these comments, he secretly glanced at his brother standing not far away.
He had a cold expression on his face; it's unclear whether he saw this comment among the many others.
[You all say Ashura's methods were wrong, but the truth is, without Ashura's ideals and spirit, the ninja world wouldn't have survived the Fourth Shinobi World War. Undeniably, Naruto and Sasuke were key figures in shaping the war, but it wasn't won solely by them. Tens of thousands of ninjas sacrificed themselves, like moths to a flame.] 10+ people liked this. Fourth Shinobi World War Timeline—
There are countless ordinary ninjas who can only sigh in despair.
"Because the lives and deaths of ordinary people like us are insignificant, the 'gods' probably don't care whether we live or die."
"Damn it, to be honest, when I first understood this, there was a moment when I hated Naruto and Sasuke, and even the entire Hidden Leaf Village."
"Hey! Don't get hung up on this! This isn't something Naruto and the others can control."
"Yes, although not many, there are still some 'gods' who are willing to acknowledge our existence."
Indra Awakens the Sharingan Timeline—
The young Ashura, still in shock, picked up the little white dog who had died protecting him, and cried out "Brother" in a sob, tears streaming down his face.
Indra pursed his lips and gently wiped away the tears on his younger brother's face. He had intended to accompany Ashura in giving his loyal companion a proper burial, but when his gaze swept over the "bullets" in the sky that were clearly related to them and the Ninja Sect, Indra's heart tightened, and he immediately changed his mind, taking his brother's hand: "Let's go back to the Ninja Sect first."
This series of seemingly ordinary brotherly interactions sent a chill down Madara Uchiha's spine as he watched their situation through the mirror.
Madara Uchiha from different timelines had already learned from the comments posted by those "omniscient gods" that he was the reincarnation of Indra, while Hashirama was the reincarnation of Ashura.
And when this premise holds true, it's hard for the entire ninja world not to project the image of the ancient Inshu brothers onto him and Hashirama.
And so, an image uncontrollably surfaced in Madara's mind: Hashirama, with the face known as the "God of Shinobi," was crying and calling him "brother" in front of him, and Madara was gently wiping away his tears—
Ban suddenly closed his eyes, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
This chilling association sent shivers down his spine, and his Sharingan almost activated on its own.
What's particularly unacceptable about this imagined scene is the younger brothers of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, Izuna and Tobirama. These two naturally stood in front of their older brothers, looking like protective weasels, fiercely blocking their way!
Itachi: "????" What does this have to do with me?
""
In the comments section—
[The ideals advocated by Ashura are indeed too idealistic, hoping for mutual understanding among people to achieve a peaceful world, which is clearly impossible.] Is it really impossible for 10+ people to agree?
Inside the Ninja Sect, the Sage of Six Paths was also observing these characters.
His initial intention in founding the Ninja Cult was to promote connections between people through chakra, thereby creating a harmonious world where everyone could understand each other and strive for progress together.
However, as if they were his enemies, these people constantly criticized him, convinced that his vision could not be realized.
They even bluntly stated that the concept of the Ninja Sect is the starting point for future disasters?!
