I, Uchiha Tianqi, Will Never Be Anyone's Dog
Asura sat up abruptly and quickly looked at Tianqi. From his angle, he could clearly see Tianqi's eyes, Asura was immediately stunned. He murmured in disbelief, "How could this be? Father's power, why is it in a stranger's body?"
Upon hearing Asura's confirmation, Indra could no longer remain calm. He struggled to his feet and quickly walked to Tianqi's side. Just as he was about to say something, Tianqi suddenly turned around and looked at him. His crimson Sharingan was exactly the same as his, with the same crimson pupils and the same three black Tomoe.
"That's right, that's right, this is the power the old man left me —the Sharingan!" Indra squinted at the composed Tianqi, then asked, "Stranger, tell me your name!"
"Hmph! Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone's name?" Tianqi snorted coldly, not buying it.
He was, after all, the former Uchiha Clan Head, a powerful figure of his time, and how could he possibly bow and scrape before Indra, let alone Indra, who was merely at the early stage of the Six Paths level? The only reason he was standing here without making a move was because of Uchiha. If it weren't for that status, he would have already attacked him.
Upon hearing Tianqi's words, a hint of anger flashed in Indra's eyes. He stared intently at Tianqi for a moment, and seeing that Tianqi remained calm, Indra suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, very good, very good, very good! Apart from that idiot Asura, no one in this world dares to be as bold as you!"
"No matter where your Sharingan came from, I, Indra, don't care at all. Nice to meet you. My name is Indra, Ōtsutsuki Ōtsutsuki. You should be familiar with the surname Indra. I am the son of the self-proclaimed Sage of Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo!" After laughing, Indra began to introduce himself, but when he mentioned that he was the son of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, a look of dislike was clearly revealed on his face.
"Haha, hello, my name is Tianqi, Uchiha Tianqi!" Tianqi was a little surprised. He thought that Indra's arrogant personality would lead to a big fight with him, but he didn't expect Indra to be so bold and straightforward. Tianqi was not the kind of person to hold grudges, and he also showed his magnanimity.
"Uchiha? I've never heard of that surname before?" Upon hearing Tianqi's surname, Indra stroked his chin with one hand and murmured.
Seeing this, Tianqi rolled his Byakugan and thought to himself, "Of course you haven't heard of it."
The Uchiha surname appeared many years after the deaths of Indra and Asura. As their descendants multiplied and waged fierce wars year after year, those who died were no longer just subordinates with no blood relation. As the war escalated, relatives and children of both sides were killed one after another. In a fit of rage, the descendants of both sides completely severed their ties and abandoned the Ōtsutsuki surname, evolving into the Uchiha and Senju of later generations.
Indra didn't dwell too much on the surname. He turned to Asura not far away and solemnly shouted, "Asura, I have a guest here today. Let's call it a draw for now. But next time we fight, I will utterly defeat you. I will show that old man how much of a failure he was for not choosing me. Only strength is king, and so-called love is nothing but a beautiful dream!"
"Wait, wait a minute, um... Uchiha, are you sure you want to follow Indra? You know he is..." Asura hurriedly stopped Indra and Tianqi, who were about to leave, and asked with a frown, while also saying a few bad things about Indra.
Hearing Asura's words, Indra was somewhat displeased, but he didn't say anything. How others choose is their freedom, and he would never interfere with others' right to choose. He didn't think that his ideas had to be recognized by Tianqi and others, except for Asura and Ōtsutsuki, of course. Everything he had done so far was to prove these two wrong. He didn't care about the recognition of others, but the recognition of these two was the only motivation for him to persevere.
Speaking of which, Indra and Asura are practically carbon copies of Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju; if not exactly the same, they are at least nine and a half out of ten similarities.
"So easygoing?" Tianqi's face darkened, and he turned his head slightly to coldly say to Asura, "I, Uchiha Tianqi, will not follow anyone, nor do I need to follow anyone. I don't need anyone to teach me how to choose or do things!"
Tianqi was extremely displeased with Asura's words. He had only followed Indra to visit the place where the Uchiha had once lived and to ask some questions. But Asura had made it seem like he was following him, which was clearly an insult to Tianqi, implying that he wanted to become Indra's dog. This was something that even an uncle or aunt could not tolerate.
Asura's meaning is clearly that this world is divided into two, ruled by Asura and Indra respectively. Everyone is their subject, and whoever you choose to follow becomes their lackey. There is absolutely no human rights. No wonder Indra can raise an army to fight against him. If Ashura lived here for a long time, he would also raise an army to fight against him. It's just too infuriating.
Whether Asura's words were intentional or unintentional, Tianqi's impression of Asura plummeted. What he called governing the world with love and benevolence was nothing more than seeing himself as the protagonist and believing that he could bring change to the world. To put it nicely, that's called having lofty ambitions; to put it bluntly, it's being arrogant and taking himself too seriously!
Tianqi then disappeared into the vast darkness along with Indra and the others.
"That's not what I meant! Alas, it seems that the structure of this world is about to change again!" When Asura was about to explain something, Tianqi and Indra had completely disappeared in front of his eyes.
Asura was also filled with worry. Although he hadn't Six Paths Power Tianqi, he could clearly sense the immense Chakra emanating from Tianqi, which was no weaker than his own or his elder brother Indra's, given that this level of expert seemed to be on Indra's side. How could Asura not be anxious?
"Asura, please don't worry too much. If all else fails, I'll ask Lord Hamura's clan for help!" Seeing Asura so distressed, one of his subordinates stepped forward to offer him advice.
When Indra's men arrived, Asura's men also arrived; both sides arrived almost simultaneously, neither giving way to the other.
"Second Uncle's clansmen, huh...?" Asura stroked his chin, squinting his eyes, lost in thought.
