Take the Blame? Fine, I'll Take the Blame

"Elder brother...!"

Just as Karura was about to say something, Tianqi stepped forward and interrupted her, "Don't say anything, Karura. They're looking for me. This is my personal matter, so you'd better not interfere!"

Having recovered 60% of his strength, Tianqi was not afraid of Asura at all. His Time Force had also reached the point where he could use it in its initial stages. As long as he used his Time Eye Technique, defeating Asura would be no problem.

"Tianqi, you?" Karura frowned, somewhat puzzled. Facing his two older brothers, he truly didn't understand where Tianqi's confidence came from. Karura was utterly perplexed. Was it for his own dignity?

Tianqi shook his head without explaining anything. The power of his Rinnegan was beyond Karura's comprehension. He then turned to Asura and said with disdain, "Although I don't know why you are so hostile towards me, your current state is completely in line with the beliefs you hold!"

"Hmph! You dare to talk to me about ideals? Uchiha Tianqi dares to do it but not admit it? It's no use saying anything now!" Asura's eyes were full of anger, and he didn't want to listen to Tianqi's words at all.

"Dare to do it but not admit it?" Tianqi frowned upon hearing this. Why did it sound like he had done something to wrong them? Although Tianqi needed a reason to fight Asura, this inexplicable reason was unacceptable to Tianqi. Shouldn't they be advising him not to stop them from chasing Indra? Why did it suddenly involve him?

No matter how you look at it, he seems to have been tricked by someone. Tianqi can accept defeat, but he can't tolerate being used as a pawn in this kind of scheme.

Right, could it be that old schemer Black Zetsu? Tianqi suddenly realized that since arriving in this world, his attention had been focused on Indra, and he had completely forgotten about that old schemer Black Zetsu. He had been too careless. No, he should say that Black Zetsu had hidden himself too well. If Black Zetsu hadn't reached out to him, he probably wouldn't have remembered him even after he left.

That damned guy, don't let me find him, or I'll make sure he knows his little pot is made of iron! Tianqi cursed inwardly. He hated being schemed against the most, and this time, Black Zetsu's grudge was officially formed.

Although he knew he might have been tricked by Black Zetsu, Tianqi didn't bother to explain. The more he explained, the more likely he would be to take the blame. Besides, judging from Asura and the others' current demeanor, they didn't seem like they would listen to explanations. In any case, Tianqi was already planning to fight Asura anyway, and this would also slow down their progress and buy time for Indra. Why not?

"Asura, if you want my life, then come with me!" Having made his decision, Tianqi didn't hesitate any longer and headed towards a spot not far away.

"Hmph! You're asking for death!" Asura snorted and chased after him. The moment he saw Tianqi, he forgot all about Indra. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to kill Uchiha Tianqi and avenge his uncle Shuanghai!

"Tianqi, wait..." Karura was anxious when she saw Tianqi leave so decisively. As the master of the Ninja Sect Asura inherited the Six Paths Power and his strength was terrifying. Even Indra had defeated him. How could Tianqi be his opponent? She wanted to chase after him, but Mandala blocked her way.

"Karura, can't you understand? This is Uchiha Tianqi's own business, it has nothing to do with you. Since he is so knowledgeable about things, why are you interfering?" Mandala scolded her sister Karura with a gloomy face.

"Brother, Tianqi is strong, but how could he possibly be a match for Second Brother? You should know the strength of Tianqi and Second Brother. If we let this go unchecked, Tianqi might really die!" Karura shouted anxiously, clearly showing that he really didn't understand Tianqi's strength at all.

"Hmph! He deserved to die; he deserved to die for what he did!" Mandala sneered, completely disregarding Tianqi's life or death.

"Huh? What's going on?" Karura was also completely bewildered. Asura's anger could be due to Tianqi blocking his path, but it was a bit unreasonable for his own brother to be so angry.

"It's like this, Uncle Shuanghai, he..." Mandala explained the situation to her younger sister.

On the other side, Tianqi and Asura ran for dozens of kilometers before stopping in an open area. Fighting here would allow them to fight freely. The two looked at each other from a distance, Asura's eyes filled with murderous intent, while Tianqi's face was solemn. This battle was very important for both of them.

"Why did you kill Shuanghai? You had no prior dealings with him, and you'd never even met him. What was your purpose in killing him?"

Seeing that Tianqi Asura had also quietly regained some composure, he did not immediately make a move. He was never a reckless person. In his view, everyone had their own motives for doing things. He wanted to see what motive Uchiha Tianqi had for killing Shuanghai.

These self-proclaimed benevolent and righteous guys are such a troublesome bunch. They desperately want to kill their enemies, but because they can't shake off their pathetic facade of benevolence, they hold back, hoping the enemy will provoke their anger so they can kill the people they hate in the name of justice. It has to be said, it's really hypocritical.

"Killed them, so be it. I, Uchiha Tianqi, don't need many reasons to kill people. Just like stepping on an ant, it doesn't need a reason. It's just something I do on a whim!" Tianqi shrugged and said indifferently.

The name Shuanghai sounded familiar, and judging from Asura's appearance, Shuanghai must be very important. Tianqi immediately searched his memories for someone named Shuanghai in Hokage, and soon he found him. It turned out that Shuanghai was the first person to receive the Chakra transmission from Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and also the person who inspired Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo to establish Ninja Sect. Black Zetsu really knows how to find people. If Tianqi hadn't known about Black Zetsu, he probably would have been tricked and killed by him.

After learning what had happened, Tianqi didn't intend to explain. Let him take the blame if he wanted. In the end, Tianqi wasn't from this era; he was just a time traveler. He would leave when the time was right and didn't need to care about other people's opinions. In any case, a thousand years would eventually erase their views on him. Who would remember him Uchiha Tianqi, a thousand years from now?

"Is that so? In that case, there's no need to say anything more to you!" Asura took a deep breath, trying his best to stay rational. Losing control of emotions is a big no-no. Once a person loses their rationality, their strength will be greatly reduced. This was something his father, the Sage of Six Paths, had personally taught him.
