The Battle with Indra

Fortunately, he wasn't really angry with his little sister, Karura.

Karura was the youngest and only girl in the family. She was everyone's darling when she was little, and even Indra doted on his little sister. However, as time went by and they lived on the moon, their close relationship from childhood gradually faded. Although they were no longer close, they were not exactly strangers. But no one could persuade Asura, and no one could change Indra's mind.

"Big brother, why are you like this? I'm your sister, do I need so many reasons to stay here with you?" Karura pouted, hands on her hips, and said with dissatisfaction.

Indra rolled his eyes upon hearing this. He was too lazy to argue with Karura. He knew his sister's personality well. To outsiders, she was a dignified woman, but in front of family, she was very mischievous. Her long mouth could say anything. If she started acting up here, there was really no way to deal with her. He couldn't very well beat his sister, could he? He couldn't bring himself to hit a woman, especially since she was his sister.

"Suit yourself. Anyway, I have enough room and food for you. But I'm telling you beforehand, don't bother me unless it's important!" Indra said calmly, then, as if thinking about something, his face darkened as he stared at Karura.

"Didn't the old man's brother take you to settle down in that place? Although I don't know why, you're not allowed to leave there on your own. Why did you suddenly come down here this time? Did something happen to the old man's brother?"

That place naturally refers to the moon, but with Tianqi present, he couldn't say it outright. After all, he and Tianqi had only known each other for a short time, and it was necessary to be cautious.

However, what Indra didn't know was that Tianqi already knew that place was the moon, and he also knew why Ōtsutsuki Hamura had settled there.

"My father... has passed away!" Karura shook his head slightly, a sorrowful expression on his face.

"Oh, I see!" Indra was not surprised at all; that old man's younger brother, who was the same age as him, was probably dead too.

The two brothers fell silent when the topic of their loved ones' passing came up. Realizing that Tianqi was still there, Indra also snapped out of his reverie and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, you must have seen this funny. I suddenly remembered some things, and I can't help but feel a little down. Well then, it's getting late, let's all go and rest for today!"

"Hmm, okay then...!"

"Wait a minute!" Before Tianqi could finish speaking, Karura interrupted him. She suddenly stood up, glanced at Tianqi, then at her elder brother Indra, and said, "When I was called down, I heard my second brother say that someone with eyes just like yours appeared. I'm very curious about that. And what about you, elder brother...?"

"My name is Uchiha Tianqi. You can call me Tianqi or my full name!" Seeing that Karura didn't even know his name, Tianqi rolled his Byakugan, but he could roughly guess what Karura was going to say.

"Uchiha Tianqi? Hmm, alright, I'll remember your name!" Karura nodded, memorizing Tianqi's name. Then, with a sly smile, she said, "It's too early to rest now. How about this, Big Brother Tianqi, you two have the same eyes, right? Why don't you have a contest and see what the differences are between your eyes? What do you say?"

As expected, Tianqi revealed an expression of certainty. He knew Karura wanted to say this, but he didn't refute it. Instead, he looked at Indra, his fighting spirit rising instantly. Being able to compete with Indra, who had reached the Six Paths level using Susanoo, was something he had always wanted to do since coming to Indra's camp, but he hadn't had the opportunity in the past two days. Now that Karura was helping him, he didn't want to refuse.

Sensing Tianqi's fighting spirit, Indra smiled slightly. He could feel the powerful Chakra emanating from Tianqi. To be honest, he had long wanted to have a match with Tianqi. He looked at Tianqi and said, "Judging from your expression, you seem very eager to fight me. Sure, I don't mind. But once a battle begins, there's no stopping it. For me, there are no draws or surrenders. I won't stop until I've beaten my opponent so badly they can't get up. Uchiha Tianqi, are you really ready?"

"Of course, I have the pride of being a strong person. I will never stop until I die in battle or can't get up again. As for the so-called draw, that will never happen to me!" Tianqi nodded, his eyes unusually firm. A strong person doesn't just talk the talk.

"Interesting! In this world, besides the second Asura, there's someone who dares to challenge the eldest brother Indra! This is truly fascinating!" Karura Ōtsutsuki blinked, watching the two with great interest.

When news of the battle Tianqi and Indra spread, the entire tribe was in an uproar. Everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed to the scene of the battle.

"Hurry, hurry! That new guy is going to fight Lord Indra! Everyone, don't miss this good show!"

"That idiot dared to challenge Lord Indra! He's courting death!"

"Exactly! Does he think he's Sage of Six Paths? Daring to fight Lord Indra, he's utterly ignorant and arrogant!"

"..."

The figures of everyone in the clan territory kept moving, all running towards the basin in the distance. None of them were optimistic about Tianqi's challenge to Indra. Some of them had tried to challenge Indra before, but they all ended in failure. Now they could see someone else lose face, so why not watch the spectacle?

Soon, hundreds of people arrived at the top of the basin. Apart from those guarding the clan's territory, men, women, and children all came here. Dozens of Indra's children also came. This basin was enormous, almost a hundred kilometers in size. To the uninitiated, it would look like a flat plain. This place was the most suitable for fighting. However, given the strength of Tianqi and Indra, they probably wouldn't be able to cause much trouble in this nearly one-hundred-kilometer basin.

"Tianqi, it seems my subordinates are quite invested in this matter. In recent years, they've had their share of wins and losses in the battles against the Ninja Sect, making life rather monotonous. Today, let them see what a real battle is, what a true visual feast of a strong battle looks like!" Indra looked up at Tianqi, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, and instantly activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

"That makes a lot of sense!" Tianqi's lips curled up slightly, his long black hair, which was also flowing in the wind, and his five-pointed windmill Eternal Mangekyo contrast to Indra's.
