Indra Revives

Although Asura was not clever, he was not an idiot.

He had always gone down a dead end before, never considering other ways to deal with Indra's problem.

Now that Natsuki had scolded him, he suddenly understood.

Moreover, he was a textbook saint. Natsuki's scolding did not anger him.

Instead, his face was filled with regret over his choice.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I was truly wrong."

Asura fell to his knees on the sea's surface, so anguished he could not pull himself free, tears even beginning to fall.

Dan Katō looked at Natsuki with great curiosity. He had thought they would have a fight, but Natsuki had actually talked Asura into submission.

Natsuki noticed Dan Katō's gaze, but he did not feel particularly pleased. After all, that was simply Asura's personality.

He was quite good as a friend. You never had to worry about him stabbing you in the back.

But that was all.

He possessed neither political wisdom nor any sense of the bigger picture.

Asura was easily swayed by words, so as long as Natsuki pressured him with righteousness, persuading him was effortless.

"Thank you, thank you."

Asura wiped his face and began thanking Natsuki.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know how many more years I would have gone on being wrong."

Natsuki silently calculated that it would not have been many more years. If I hadn't interfered, you two would have reconciled in a few years anyway.

But he did not want Naruto to end up becoming a saintly type.

"Indra's consciousness is about to awaken. Since your wish has been fulfilled, leave Naruto's body sooner rather than later."

"The Ninja World is already completely different from your time. It won't do for Naruto to have the same personality as you."
