On the river bank, Ars holds a fishing rod made of bamboo and patiently waits for the fish to bite the bait.
"Without modernization, nature will not be damaged, but civilization will also not advance."
He spoke like a philosopher while looking at the clear waters of the river.
"It has been 15 years since Indra revolted. Looks like I have to travel to the Ancestral Land again."
Ars always wandered to various places so that others did not suspect his appearance which always looked youthful, and also avoided being detected by Hagoromo.
He also knew that Hamura was no longer on this planet, but rather brought his descendants to migrate to the moon. In addition to keeping Kaguya and Ars' seals, he also wants to avoid conflict with humans.
But in his odyssey, Ars had met the descendants of Hamura in a remote village. He suspected they did not want to leave and decided to run away.
After seeing them, he knew they would become the forerunners of the Hyuga clan in the future.
Although he had a grudge against Hamura, he did nothing against the descendants of Hamura of the village. Ars is not a heartless man, and will not attack the descendants of his enemies unless they provoke him first.
"Oh, cultivating the Void Imperfection Physique (Void Imperfection Physique) will soon break through to the Small Completion."
A few hours later, Ars received feedback from his main body. After cultivating non-stop for 25 years, it finally began to make progress.
He estimated that five more months of his cultivation would break through.
"Tsk, I didn't catch a single fish today. My luck is so bad. Does the Goddess of Fortune hate me or something?"
Pulling the fishing line, he did not see any fish in the hook and could only sigh deeply.
Throwing away the fishing line in annoyance, he took the map in the pouch, then headed towards the Ancestral Land.
...
The atmosphere of the Ancestral Land was not as lively as usual as many people were grieving. Rikudo Sennin was lying on the bed and his death was imminent.
People regard Rikudo Sennin as their god and spiritual pillar. Thanks to him who taught Ninshu, the lives of the common people became better.
When there is a drought, students Rikudo Sennin will use water element techniques to irrigate the rice fields. If it floods, they will create a wall of soil to change the direction of the water. And there are still many activities that improve the standard of living of the community.
Simply put, Rikudo Sennin was considered the most perfect leader in the eyes of the common man.
Many people gathered in front as far as the mansion when they found out Rikudo Sennin was in his last breath.
Among the crowd, Ars was also present, and kept a low profile. As long as Hagoromo is not dead, he will not act rashly.
He patiently awaited the announcement of Hagoromo's death.
In the room, Hagoromo lay weakly on the bed and accompanied by some of his descendants.
"Asura..." Mumbles weakly.
"Dad!"
"Grandfather!"
Asura had now become a middle-aged man, and was worried to see the condition of his father.
"I can't guide the world well."
"That's not true!"
"Indra came last night."
"Well?!"
Asura was shocked to hear this, he did not expect his elder brother who had left and never returned had secretly met his father. He was grateful that his older brother still had a conscience, and did not attack his father in his weakened state.
...
Yesterday night.
The candle in the room had been extinguished, then the sound of lightning was heard even though it was not raining outside.
Without opening his eyes, Hagoromo guessed who had come.
The middle-aged man who came was none other than Indra. He just stood still and just looked at his father who was lying sick.
"Have you come to kill me?" Ask Hagoromo.
"Hu Hu Hu's... There's no need for me to do that anymore." Indra chuckled, then continued her goal: "I came here to end the disgusting future of hell caused by Ninshu. Your selfish misconceptions are ruining Ninshu's future, with war and disaster. I have no intention of stopping my fight."
"Until I finish this. My soul will reincarnate and fight, no matter how long it is!"
*⚡⚡⚡*
Along with the sound of lightning outside, Indra's figure had disappeared and left only Hagoromo speechless.
...
After Hagoromo delivered Indra's words last night, he held Asura's hand and said: "Asura... I entrust the future of this world to you and your descendants..."
After delivering his last will, Hagoromo's breath stopped.
Outside the residence.
One of the Asura descendants delivered the news of Hagoromo's death to the public.
At the news, the people wept and mourned Hagoromo's death.
"She's dead!"
Only Ars was happy to hear the news.
(Should I take Hagoromo's Rinnegan's eyes.)
If faced with two choices between the eyes of the Sharingan Indra and the eyes of Rinnegan Hagoromo. So Ars will choose the last option. But he was still hesitant about having to take action or not.
He did not know whether Hamura was present or not in Hagoromo's final moments. If Ars takes action and turns out Hamura is coming, he cannot beat the other side with his current strength.
(Patience, I have waited 25 years, waiting a few more days is not a problem for me.)
After pondering for a moment, Ars did not dare to take the risk.
Better to be safe than sorry.
He plans to secretly dig Hagoromo's grave tonight and take Rinnegan for himself.
It's very immoral to dig a grave for the dead, but Ars doesn't care. Then he left while waiting for nightfall
...
Nightfall.
"Suckers! Even at the end of his life, he was very stubborn."
In the inn room, Ars threw the plate against the wall furiously.
He had just received word that Hagoromo's body was not buried, but burned.
This is beyond Ars' calculations!
Ars did not expect Hagoromo to be so cruel to himself. He guessed that the other party had Asura burn the corpse and spread his ashes into the sea, to avoid the evil person eyeing him.
"Haaa... If I had known it would be this way, I wouldn't have hesitated taking Rinnegan this afternoon. My heart-wrenching attitude backfired."
He was very sorry about his decision. Ever since his body was in the seal, he was too careful to be a coward.
However, there was no one to blame, if this clone died, then his consciousness would return to the main body and he would have to spend some time in solitude somehow for a long time. At the very least, he should alone be in the darkness until the cultivation of the Void Imperfection Physique reached Half Completion.
"The rice has become pureed, there is no point in regretting what has happened. My main focus now is to locate Indra's whereabouts and retrieve his Sharingan."
"Before that, I had to find tubes and formaldehyde to preserve the Sharingan later."
Ars' depression did not last long, after restoring his composure, he chose sleep.
These clones still have to eat and sleep like a normal human. After all, the Clone Technique he created was still half-finished.
