[What? ! ]
[Once this identity as the successor of the Ninja Clan is revealed...]
Everyone was stunned.
[It's actually Asura?]
How is this possible?!
[Despite Asura's negligence, he was able to plead with Indra on behalf of those who had made mistakes.]
I've made many friends.
[but. ]
[Everyone knows this.]
[Indra has always been the most suitable successor to the Ninja Sect.]
In addition.
The rules of the Ninja Sect are becoming increasingly comprehensive.
[This is all due to Indra's efforts.]
[result. ]
It was just a meaningless assessment.
This directly negates Indra's efforts over the years.
On the contrary, Ashura, who had always been lazy and gluttonous, became the successor of the Ninja Clan.
However...
When this result came from the mouth of the Sage of Six Paths.
Everything will be different then.
As long as the Sage of Six Paths still exists.
[So. ]
[The entire Ninja Sect is ruled by the Sage of Six Paths.]
[Furthermore, if Ashura becomes the successor.]
There's nothing wrong with it.
[At least. ]
[From now on, everyone can use ninjutsu, which will make things much easier.]
[It's even possible to make a fortune from this.]
Even if it breaks the rules.
[All you have to do is play the victim, right?]
Didn't you see that guy who tricked Ashura into helping him cut down trees to pay back the money? He's still following Ashura around.
It seems they have gained his trust after all.
[Maybe in the future we won't need to lie to Asura anymore; we can just ask Asura to help us cut down the enemies.]
However... according to them, they've all received a portion of Ashura's chakra, so they can probably kill him themselves.
[For a time.]
[After the Sage of Six Paths announced the results.]
After a brief moment of shock and disbelief, everyone...
[Then she began to have her own little schemes.]
Indra seemed somewhat incredulous at this result.
Everyone had different thoughts.
[Naturally, he didn't notice the fleeting look of disappointment in Indra's eyes.]
[Obviously.]
Indra had anticipated this outcome.
Over the past year, Black Zetsu has also continuously instilled many ideas in him.
[Regarding Indra.]
He knew in his heart that what Black Zetsu said was very likely the answer.
However, when actually faced with the result announced by the Sage of Six Paths...
Indra still found it unbelievable.
At this moment.
The villagers who returned with Ashura.
[Of course, I don't understand these things.]
[Upon hearing that Ashura is the successor to the Ninja Clan.]
They all wore expressions of excitement.
[If Ashura becomes the successor.]
[So, they—no, their entire village—can directly join the Ninja Clan!]
Of course I'd be happy.
"Great, Ashura!"
[Among them, a woman who had taken a liking to Ashura cried out happily.]
Asura was also shocked by this result.
He instinctively looked at his brother, Indra.
[See Indra's appearance.]
Ashura felt a pang of pity.
But no matter how much he denies it.
Regarding this result...
He was filled with immense joy.
Finally...finally!
I finally beat my brother!
Tobirama Senju: "This kind of mentality is perfectly normal."
Tobirama Senju: "I've been suppressed by Indra for half my life, but I've discovered that I can win once too."
Tobirama Senju: "Moreover, he must have realized that the Sage of Six Paths did not like Indra, but preferred himself."
Tobirama Senju: "Otherwise, it would be as good as those people say."
Tobirama Senju: "At this point, even if the Sage of Six Paths announces the result, he can immediately refute it, saying that he is not suitable to be the successor of the Ninja Sect, and that Indra is the most suitable to be the successor of the Ninja Sect."
Uchiha Izuna: Heh, I don't know how many times I've been willful before, trying to get Indra to make an exception for me.
Uchiha Izuna: I've been taught a lesson by Indra so many times.
Uchiha Izuna: I guess he's been harboring resentment for a long time.
Uchiha Izuna: To be honest, after seeing this, I feel sorry for Indra.
Uchiha Izuna: The ancestor of the Uchiha clan, his life was truly tragic.
Uchiha Izuna: His father did not treat him as a son, and his brother did not treat him as an elder brother.
...
[It happened almost instantly.]
Asura then returned to normal.
[His expression remained unchanged, and his gaze did not wander.]
[Sit upright like this.]
[I didn't know. I thought he already knew the outcome. It really should have been him.]
Naruto Uzumaki: "Pah!"
Naruto Uzumaki: "Even I can easily see that the Sage of Six Paths is biased!"
Naruto Uzumaki: "I was actually reincarnated as someone like that?"
Naruto Uzumaki: "Completely different, okay?!"
Naruto Uzumaki: "I would never do that!"
Hashirama Senju: ...
Hashirama Senju: At first, I thought it looked quite similar, but later I felt something was off.
Hashirama Senju: Hashirama's hot mom, right?
Madara Uchiha: You are you, there's no such thing as being similar or unlike you.
Hashirama Senju: Hahaha~
...
A year's wait has been in vain.
Indra turned his head and looked at the Asura.
[Seeing Ashura's unfamiliar appearance.]
He suddenly laughed.
I'm mentally broken.
The three-tomoe Sharingan immediately appeared.
At this time...
The Sage of Six Paths, seated high above, spoke:
"Indra."
[Hearing the sound.]
Indra suppressed his inner discontent and forced himself to calm down.
[Then he looked at the Sage of Six Paths.]
The reason given by the Sage of Six Paths led Indra to completely lose faith in his so-called father.
"Indra."
"You completed the assessment task all by yourself."
["However."]
"As I said, the test isn't about speed."
"Although you did find a water source for the villagers..."
"They also destroyed the sacred tree, thus solving the problem at its root."
"But you did the whole process all by yourself."
"Later, the villagers fought each other over the well."
"In the end, the entire village completely disappeared."
The meaning is quite obvious.
Ultimately, Indra bore the consequences.
Indra was stunned.
[Unconsciously clenching her teeth.]
[To the side.]
Asura remained unfazed, his gaze unwavering.
[Sit upright like this.]
It was as if everything was irrelevant to him.
He is the chosen successor of the Ninja Sect!
The Ninja Clan members present were also somewhat at a loss.
[Watching Indra's retreating figure.]
I suddenly feel a little guilty.
But no one spoke up for Indra.
[after all. ]
The Sage of Six Paths was sitting there.
[This matter.]
[While there is a connection to Indra, it's definitely not entirely Indra's fault.]
[It was simply caused by the desires of those villagers.]
Greed!
Who doesn't want to be successful?
Just like now.
[Staying silent means siding with the Sage of Six Paths.]
No, it should be said that they are on the side of Asura.
[It's obvious to everyone that the Sage of Six Paths is on Ashura's side.]
