The Ōtsutsuki Mandala Who Blocked the Way
"Hahaha, Tianqi is right! I never expected you to have such a unique insight!" Indra burst into laughter upon hearing this. Although Tianqi's explanation was slightly different from his own ideas, it was similar in spirit. For a long time, his father and brother had rejected his ideas, but now he had gained the recognition of an outsider whose strength was no less than his own. This was a very important and happy thing for Indra.
Hearing Indra's laughter, Asura, who had been wavering, regained his composure. Although he couldn't refute Uchiha Tianqi's words, he absolutely couldn't agree with them, especially in front of Indra. He then looked at Mandala beside him and said, "Third brother, I'll trouble you to hold off Uchiha Tianqi. As for Karura, she's your sister, she shouldn't take you seriously. Just hold off Uchiha Tianqi, and I'll come to help you after I defeat Indra!"
"Okay, no problem!" Mandala grinned, looking at Tianqi with a murderous aura. Tianqi's words just now had made the relationship between his two brothers even worse, which made Mandala really want to teach Tianqi a lesson. As for whether he could beat him, he didn't even think about it.
"Want to make a move? Heh, very well!" Seeing that Asura and the others were about to attack, Indra sneered, glanced at the people behind him, and pointed at the Ninja Sect army, shouting, "Rai! Charge into the enemy ranks and show our might! When facing the Ninja Sect, slaughter them without mercy!"
Upon receiving Indra's order, a burly man with the strength of a Kage-level expert, accompanied by two others, quickly stepped forward. Giving the Ninja Sect members a fierce look, the burly man spoke, "Ki!"
With just a single word, the people next to the burly man instantly understood. They quickly stretched out their hands, and the four hands crossed together to form a base. The burly man stood on the base, and Lightning Release Chakra appeared around him. In an instant, he was launched out.
As Asura watched the burly man fly above the Ninja Sect army, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized the man; it was Rai, Indra's strongest subordinate, a peak Kage Level expert. Aside from the Ōtsutsuki clan, almost no one could rival him. Seeing Rai's movements, Asura suddenly realized something and shouted, "Not good! Scatter!"
However, there were too many people from the Ninja Sect to react to Asura's warning immediately, and Lei continued to gather his strength before unleashing a punch towards the Ninja Sect army.
"Haaah! Heavy Stream Explosion!" Lightning Fist struck the center of the Ninja Sect army, the ground shook and dust flew everywhere. Lightning directly created a crater two hundred meters wide, and hundreds of the Ninja Sect members died in this attack. Hundreds more survived but were seriously injured.
"Oh! Impressive strength indeed!" Tianqi was astonished to see this burly man create a crater hundreds of meters deep with a single strike. With this man's strength, he should be the strongest person below several Ōtsutsuki clan members.
Hearing Tianqi's praise, Indra's lips curled up slightly, and he said proudly, "Of course. Lei's father was one of the first people to follow me. Although he sacrificed himself, Lei, as his son, did not disgrace his father. His years of perseverance and hard work have made him the strongest under my command. Lei alone is enough to rival two thousand people or even more. He is the strongest warrior in the tribe!"
Seeing Indra praising this man named Rai so highly, Tianqi simply nodded indifferently. This guy was indeed quite strong. In this era where strength was generally high, being able to fight against thousands of people by himself was truly impressive. Moreover, Tianqi saw the shadow of Raikage A in him. If Rai were in Tianqi's era, he alone could probably hold off tens of thousands of ninjas. After all, A could hold off twenty thousand ninjas.
After unleashing an explosive attack, Lightning turned his attention to the nearby Ninja Sect members and began to kill them mercilessly.
"You dare to Wood Release!" It was already heartbreaking enough that so many Ninja Sect members had been killed, but to make matters worse, Lightning continued his rampage. Asura was immediately enraged and unleashed Wood Release, which instantly entangled one of Lightning's hands with trees.
"Hmph!" Seeing Asura actually reach out and strike with lightning, Indra snorted coldly and swiftly stepped forward. His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan instantly activated, Susanoo skeleton appeared. With a single slash, he severed the tree entangled with lightning and said, "Rai, you deal with the others. I'll handle Asura!"
"Yes, Lord Indra!" Lei, who had originally intended to exchange a few blows with Asura, decisively abandoned the idea upon seeing Indra arrive and shouted to his companions in the distance, "Brothers, follow me!"
The members of the Ninja Sect and Indra both went to fight on the other side, leaving the middle area to the two Leader.
"Asura, let me be your opponent!"
As their subordinates engaged in battle, Indra and Asura also began their own battle as Leader, one wielding a partially completed Susanoo a hundred-meter-long Wood Dragon, constantly attacking each other.
Just as Tianqi was about to step in and help out, seeing thousands of the Ninja Sect members fighting against a few hundred of Indra's subordinates, Ōtsutsuki Mandala appeared before him.
"Uchiha Tianqi, where do you think you're going? You think you can just leave with me here? Is it really okay to treat me like this?!" Mandala said, clearly annoyed, as she blocked Uchiha Tianqi's path.
"Oh, you must be Mandala, Karura's brother. Haven't you heard about what happened last night? Even Indra was no match for me. You dare to stop me with your meager strength? Are you out of your mind?" Tianqi glanced at Mandala with utter disdain, looking down on him as much as he could.
It has been about a month and a half since Tianqi awoke in Konoha. After his battle with Indra last night, his strength has now recovered to 60%. Although 50% and 60% may seem like only a 10% difference, the difference is enormous. Previously, Tianqi only had half his strength, but now he has broken out of that 50% mark and has more than half of his power. It's normal for Tianqi to look down on a Mandala who is only at the quasi -Six Paths level.
"You're the one who's out of your mind! The only reason you were able to beat Indra was because he let you win. I'm different from him. I won't hold back at all when I beat you!" Mandala curled her lip indifferently.
Yes, Mandala believes that Tianqi was able to defeat Indra last night because Indra deliberately lost to Tianqi in order to win him over. Moreover, given Tianqi 'Indra personality, he probably only let Tianqi have a few moves. It's unlikely that he actually lost; it's probably just rumors. After all, the Ōtsutsuki bloodline is something that not everyone can compare to.
Regarding Mandala's idea, Tianqi could only say that he didn't understand Indra at all. How could someone as proud as Indra deliberately lose?
This family really doesn't understand Indra at all.
