Indra's Defeat

"Since Indra and Asura possess such power, they are probably already comparable to Hamura!" The old man was shocked, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh. The Hagoromo lineage was indeed stronger than the Hamura lineage, truly worthy of being descendants of the Sage of Six Paths.

The battle between Indra and Asura continued, and the ground shook violently. After marveling at it for a while, the old man paid no more attention. Hamura's last instructions were to guard that body and not let it return to Earth. This was also the way Hamura's lineage protected Earth. His last instructions also forbade interference in Earth's wars, even though these two people were Hamura's nephews.

"Karura, it's almost time. We should head back!" The old man never mentioned where they were going back to. After all, Tianqi was present, and he couldn't let anyone else know about that place. However, Tianqi, who had read the original Hokage, naturally knew where he was referring to, but he didn't reveal it. He tried to say as little as possible to avoid creating unnecessary misunderstandings.

Upon hearing this, Karura glanced at Tianqi with great reluctance, but seeing Tianqi determined gaze, she breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that she would definitely be able to reunite with Tianqi again, even if it took a long time, as long as there was this glimmer of hope, it was enough.

"Tianqi, Tianqi!" Karura said goodbye with reluctance.

"Remember my promise Karura. As soon as I return, I will come to fetch you as soon as possible!"

After watching Karura and the others disappear into starlight, Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief. With this, he had few regrets left in this era. Now, he only needed to wait for the battle between Indra and Asura to end to find out whether the space-time tunnel could be opened.

"Indra, give up! Although your power has increased, you still can't be my match!" Asura clasped his hands tightly together, and countless tree roots slammed into Susanoo like a tidal wave. Because the power of the Tailed Beast was sealed by Tianqi, and after failing to break the seal, Asura was forced to use the power of Senjutsu. Although he used Senjutsu Chakra, his face did not show the unique features of a Sage. He could use Senjutsu without the Sage Mark, which was the most perfect Sage Mode. With the blessing of Senjutsu Mode, Asura's power also increased greatly. With tree roots, Wood Dragon, and Wood Human Technique, Indra really felt like he couldn't hold on.

However, despite his words, Asura was not as relaxed as he claimed. After such a long and intense battle, he was panting heavily, and beads of sweat were constantly dripping from his forehead.

"Shut up! The word 'give up' has never been part of my battles, Indra's!" Indra stood on the center of Susanoo's forehead, slightly bent over and squinting as he spoke. His heaving chest showed that he was no better off than Asura. Even the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which was said to possess infinite power, was aching, and his Chakra was severely depleted.

Upon hearing this, Asura was also filled with rage. Looking at the aftermath of the battle around him, Asura felt a pang of sorrow. This continent, spanning thousands of miles, had been sunk and turned into a vast ocean. Countless innocent lives had perished in this catastrophe. Asura was worried that if things continued like this, the world might truly be destroyed.

"Since you refuse to give up, then don't blame me for killing you. Indra, be prepared!" Asura clapped his hands together forcefully, and a massive amount of Chakra erupted instantly.

"Sage Art Wood Release - Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!" The wooden figure slowly sat down with his hands clasped together, and a giant Great Buddha with thousands of hands growing from his back soared into the sky. With the blessing of the Senjutsu, the True Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands reached an astonishing height of 1,200 meters. At this height, even Ultraman from next door would get slapped twice.

"It's that move again! It's finally here!" Indra looked up at the thousands of meters tall Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands. The powerful pressure made his hands clench tightly and tremble uncontrollably. Having been mentally broken by this thing several times in a row, Indra had indeed developed a fear of it. However, who was Indra? He was the embodiment of power and a born warrior. At this moment, he was determined to dispel this fear and prove himself.

"I, Indra, can lose to anyone, but you! Asura, I can never lose to you, I can never be defeated by you!" Cutting off the last escape route against his younger brother Asura, and dispelling the shadow in his heart that was dominated by the Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, Indra finally broke through himself, and his power reached an unprecedented peak. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his left eye disappeared, replaced by rings of Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. With Indra's breakthrough, Susanoo also instantly grew to 1,200 meters, the same as the Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, and its attack mode changed to the two-sided, four-armed Ashura form.

"It's finally here!" Tianqi stood up abruptly as he watched Indra break through. This was the battle between the Uchiha and the Senju's predecessors, and also their first ultimate battle. He didn't want to miss anything.

"Top Buddha Transformation!" Although shocked by Indra's Rinnegan, Asura knew he couldn't hold back now. He activated Top Buddha Transformation, unleashing countless giant wooden hands.

"Reincarnation Slash!" Indra didn't hold back this time either. With the power of the Rinnegan, he drained all the Chakra and most of his life energy from his body. Susanoo wielded a sword in each of its four hands, and countless sword energies rushed forward.

"Asura!"

"Anisan!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two sides shouted and clashed, countless waves splashing up and obscuring the two fighters. As they fought desperately, the ground, which had only been shaking, began to tremble violently, as if the end of the world had arrived, and a heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

The five-minute-long, desperate battle ended, and the earth stopped trembling. Tianqi knew the battle was over, but he didn't know who had won. As the waves receded, the two towering giants disappeared, Indra appeared on the sea, carrying the Sword of the Gathering Clouds, walking step by step toward Tianqi.

"Are you alright, Indra?" Tianqi quickly stepped forward to support Indra and asked with concern.

The once spirited Indra now appeared extremely disheveled. His powerful aura had vanished, his clothes were tattered, and his former kingly presence was gone. He looked like an ordinary person. Tianqi could sense that Indra was on the verge of collapse, with very little life energy left. The only thing keeping him from falling was his unwavering belief.

However, Tianqi soon saw Asura dragging his tired body toward them. Compared to Indra, although Asura was seriously injured, his body still had some blood and life energy left, and his Sage Body was continuously supporting Asura's body.

Judging from this situation, there is no doubt that Indra has ultimately been defeated...!
