The Hagoromo Followers Blocking Their Way

"You actually killed Second Brother's son in the battle! This is terrible. The feud between you two is now irreconcilable. Second Brother cares most about his comrades and family!" Karura sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"It's normal for people to die in war, especially since they were all ganging up on me. Tens of thousands of people against one person, it seems like I'm the one who's injured, right?" Tian rolled his eyes and said. Although he felt a little sorry for Asura for accidentally killing Asura's son, since they dared to deal with him, they should have been prepared to be killed in return. He couldn't be blamed for any of this!

The injured one? Karura glanced at Tianqi speechlessly, secretly worried. With the hatred of killing his son, the grudge between his second brother and Tianqi seemed irreconcilable.

Following the moon marker left by Indra, Tianqi and Karura continued their journey. However, Tianqi soon realized something was wrong. At Karura speed, they should have already reached the South China Sea, but all around them were land and mountains, with not a drop of water in sight!

"Tianqi, what's wrong with you?" Perhaps sensing Tianqi's confusion, Karura asked.

"Have we come to the wrong place? I've been to the coast of the South China Sea before. This area should be all seawater, but look here, there's not a drop of water at all," Tianqi said, pointing to the forest and mountains in front of him.

"How could that be? This area to the south has always been a primeval forest. How could there be any seawater here? I've never heard of it. I think you must be mistaken!" Karura looked at Tianqi speechlessly. She had never heard of any South China Sea coast. She now suspected that Tianqi might be talking nonsense again.

"It's always been a primeval forest? Oh, then it seems I must have remembered wrong!" Tianqi scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly. For a moment, he didn't realize that this was the Hokage world a thousand years ago, and the terrain must be quite different from what it is now.

After confirming that they were on the right track, Tianqi grabbed Karura and prepared to find a faster way to travel.

"Tianqi, you...!" Karura blushed instantly when Tianqi suddenly grabbed her hand. In that instant, she thought that Tianqi had come to his senses. In that second, she was already fantasizing about the wonderful life she would have with Tianqi in the future.

Seeing Karura acting like a little woman again, Tianqi's lips twitched, and he said lightly, "Don't overthink it. I just felt that traveling like this was too slow, and I wanted to take you to experience a faster speed!"

"Oh, is that so...!" Karura looked disappointed upon hearing this. It turned out she had misunderstood; Tianqi hadn't meant it that way.

"Kamui!" With his Mangekyō Sharingan activated, Tianqi Karura sucked into a spatial vortex. After several spatial jumps, the two quickly arrived at Indra's location.

"This is... Brother Indra!" Garuda was also a little surprised to see that he had caught up with his elder brother Indra and the Karura in just one minute. This spatial ability was really too useful.

"Tianqi? Karura? You've arrived!" Indra was somewhat surprised to see the two appear before him, but he quickly composed himself.

Looking at the ten elderly men dressed in white robes of the Ninja Sect in front of him, and the buildings not far away, Tianqi finally understood everything. "I knew that where there are buildings, there must be people who have lived here before, but I didn't expect them to be from the Ninja Sect. Moreover, judging from Indra's appearance, he seems to be quite familiar with these people. If he wasn't familiar with them, Indra would probably have already stormed in."

"Hmm, what's going on with Indra?" Tianqi asked, pointing to the ten old men in front of him.

Several old men were also scrutinizing Tianqi. They sensed immense energy emanating from Tianqi. Logically, aside from a few descendants of the Ōtsutsuki, no one should have such a powerful energy reaction. They were very puzzled as to who this person was.

"They were the first to follow the old man, and the ones he trusted most. Since the old man died, these people have spontaneously come to the tomb to serve as tomb keepers!" Indra said with a sneer. If it weren't for the fact that he had some connection with these old guys, he would have stormed in long ago.

"So they were the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' earliest followers. But judging from their appearance, their strength is already less than one-tenth of what it used to be. Why didn't they just barge in?" Tianqi asked with some doubt. Indra's personality of not forcing his way in was really not in line with his nature.

"You brat, how dare you be so disrespectful! This is Lord Hagoromo's tomb, let's see who dares to trespass!" An old man with white hair stepped forward and shouted at Tianqi.

"Bie Tianqi, these old guys have some history with me, let's talk this out properly!" Just as Tianqi was about to retort, Indra reached out and stopped him.

"A bunch of old geezers. Let me, Uchiha Tianqi, take responsibility for everything!" Tenki slapped Indra's hand away and Tianqi to the front.

"Tianqi...!" Indra was about to speak, but swallowed his words. Asura would probably catch up soon, and Tianqi was doing this for his own good. At this moment, he could only turn a blind eye.

"A bunch of weak old men dare to put on airs in front of me. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo did you a favor, not me. I, Uchiha Tianqi, will not take you seriously. If you want to talk to me as equals, show me your strength. If you don't have the strength, don't bark like a dog here!" Tianqi raised his head arrogantly and cursed the old man in front of him with a contemptuous look.

"You brat! How dare you be so insolent? Do you think we're easy to bully? Indra, is this how you educate your subordinates?" A group of old men were also furious with Tianqi. At their age, being pointed at and scolded by a young man was unbearable. They immediately questioned Indra.

"Holy crap! You dare bark like a dog, huh? Kamui!" Tianqi didn't want to argue with these old men, so he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and used Kamui to trap them inside the Kamui Dimension.

"Tianqi! You...!" Seeing the elders disappear before his eyes, Indra thought Tianqi had killed them with his spatial abilities, and his eyes widened.

Although these old folks held different beliefs from his own, they had cared for and supported him a lot when he was young, and now that they were gone, Indra felt a pang of guilt.

"Don't worry, Indra and the others are fine. I just locked them in my little space. Their lives are perfectly safe!" Tianqi explained calmly, seeing that Indra seemed a little misunderstanding.

"So that's how it is. It's good that they're alright. After all, they were people who cared about me. I really couldn't bring myself to take their lives. Tianqi, do your best to protect them!" Hearing that the old guys were alright, Indra was slightly relieved. After all, he only had grievances against Asura and his father. Indra still held a certain degree of respect for these people who had witnessed his growth.

"No problem!" Tianqi gave an OK sign, assuring them that he wouldn't harm these old guys.
