Chapter 420

For this foreign presence within his body, the being deep within his chakra,

Madara Uchiha had never truly trusted it,

He had tried countless methods to purge Indra from deep within his body!!

But no matter what method he chose,

He found that Indra refused to communicate with him,

And he had no way to expel Indra from his own body!!

Hashirama Senju stroked his chin and spoke in a low voice.

"Perhaps I have a way to let you meet this thing."

"But how exactly to communicate—that's up to you."

There is always gain and loss,

Hashirama Senju believed,

That the reason both he and Madara Uchiha had advanced so rapidly

Was thanks to these two beings deep within their bodies!!

Yet his own Asura had remained curled up inside him, refusing to emerge,

And Hashirama Senju was also seeking a way,

To force this thing out.

Taking this opportunity to resolve Indra within Madara Uchiha,

Hashirama Senju also believed he could simultaneously deal with Asura within himself.

After all, his body harbored this being from ancient times, lingering to this day,

Hashirama Senju did not believe he could ever feel at ease!!

"Madara… from now on, do not resist my spiritual will."

"Let us both enter the inner realm of your spiritual space and see these two beings…"

With that, Madara Uchiha abandoned his mental defenses,

Allowing Hashirama Senju to invade deep into his spiritual space!!!

Within a dark space,

Hashirama Senju curiously observed Madara Uchiha's spiritual space,

Inside Madara Uchiha's spiritual space,

He detected an extremely familiar scent!!

The depths of Madara Uchiha's spirit felt nearly identical to his own!!

Hashirama Senju knew this was because of Indra,

That he himself was the reincarnation of Asura,

And Madara Uchiha was the reincarnation of Indra,

The two had originally been brothers in ancient times!!

So it was perfectly natural that he felt familiarity with Madara Uchiha's spiritual space.

"Madara Uchiha… you arrived sooner than I expected."

"Uchiha Madara… these past few days have arrived far faster than I had imagined."

A figure slowly stepped out of the darkness.

As he drew closer,

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju realized,

That this man's face bore nine-tenths resemblance to Madara Uchiha's,

And aside from minor differences in adornment and hairstyle,

They looked as if carved from the same mold!!

"Let me introduce myself—I am Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo…"

"It seems… the millennia-old fate may finally end today."

He looked at Madara Uchiha with a complex expression,

Then at Hashirama Senju.

"Hmph… you've been clinging inside my body all this time—I thought you'd never show yourself…"

Madara Uchiha glared at Indra with displeasure.

He had tried countless methods to communicate with Indra before,

But Indra had never once responded directly,

Always deeply curled up within the depths of his body!!!

And he could never forcibly expel Indra from his own body!!

"Indra… after thousands of years, we've finally met again."

Another figure slowly stepped out of the darkness!!!

Asura stared solemnly and earnestly at Indra!!!

The two sons of the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo,

After thousands of years,

Had finally met again—formally—within Madara Uchiha's spiritual space!!

But as he saw Asura standing beside Hashirama Senju,

However, when he saw Asura standing together with Hashirama Senju,

A strange look appeared once more on Indra's face!!

Hashirama Senju doesn't look like Asura at all!!

Indra, across all his successive reincarnations,

had always observed Asura's successive reincarnations,

and in his memory,

Hashirama Senju was the reincarnation of Asura who resembled him the least,

and even in Indra's eyes,

certain of Hashirama Senju's ways of doing things were more like his own,

even more extreme than himself!!!

Apart from the fact that Hashirama Senju did not possess his own Kekkei Genkai,

Indra even felt that Hashirama Senju resembled his own reincarnation more than Madara Uchiha did!!

But aside from temperament,

what puzzled Indra the most was still Hashirama Senju's strength!!.

192. Indra: I hope you can surpass this incarnation of Asura!

Hashirama Senju's strength was improving far too quickly!!

Most importantly, the improvement of his strength seemed to have no bottleneck at all,

which left Indra completely unable to fathom why!!

Even long before,

Hashirama Senju's strength had already surpassed Asura himself!!

Even when their father, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, personally fought Hashirama Senju,

he actually could do nothing about him,

and that was the point that shocked Indra the most!!

Even now, Indra did not know,

if Hashirama Senju's strength kept rising like this,

just how far it would go?!

Indra and Asura had been at odds for so many years,

and the strength gap between their reincarnations was usually never all that vast,

but when it came to Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju,

the gap in strength between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju was actually so enormous!!
