Traveling with Indra

Each region of the Ninja Continent has a very unique topography. The northernmost part is the land of snow and ice, the Land of Snow, which is covered in frost all year round and not even a blade of grass can grow. Going west is the endless desert, the Land of Wind, where the scorching sun bakes the earth and gravel, and the rainy season is so short that a drop of sweat will evaporate immediately.

The east is the Land of Earth, which is a land of rocky mountains, extremely scarce water resources, and occasional green land and vegetation. The mountain wind always carries gravel and hits the houses, which is particularly aggressive. After passing through an inland sea, you will reach the Land of Thunder, where lightning and thunder occur all year round. There is plenty of rain here, and the terrain is very rich, with mountain rock walls, hilly grasslands, lakes, and sea water. Apart from the threat of lightning, it is a rare good place in the Ninja Continent.

Continue east from here and cross the sea to the Land of Water. This archipelago country surrounded by large and small islands has abundant water resources and seafood, but the sun is not visible here in the morning all year round. The thick fog blocks the light, and everything becomes mysterious and hazy. Because it is far away from the mainland, this place is very xenophobic, and the internal fighting is the most fierce.

The Fire Nation in the south is a good place, with fertile land and four distinct seasons. Apart from the floods in the rainy season, it is not threatened by earthquakes, sandstorms, or cold seasons. But it is precisely because the place is so good that it has been a must-fight place since ancient times, and everyone wants to take a bite.

After Princess Kaguya pacified the continent, this place was settled as the capital for decades. Later, Princess Kaguya was sealed, and the Six Paths Sage finally settled here and founded the Buddhist organization Ninja Sect. The surrounding civilians lived and worked in peace and contentment. With the help of Ninja Sect's techniques, farming and irrigation became much easier, and the number of Ninja Sect's followers became larger and larger.

The common name of the Six Paths Sage is Otsutsuki Hagoromo. As the founder of the Ninja Sect, he has two sons. The eldest son is outstanding, and the second son is naive. When they were 15 years old, their relationship became not good.

The eldest son, Indra, had endless things to do every day. Even after finishing them, he would go to the back mountain to practice alone. As he grew older, he became the teacher who taught Yuyi's lessons. People around him respected him more and no one joked with him anymore.

The second son, Asura, has a brother who takes care of things for him and always has time to play with his friends. He doesn't have any goals in life, has a lot of time to play, and doesn't put on airs. He always smiles like a little fool. He has a lot of playmates around him, and there is no pressure to get along with this type of person.

Ashura wanted to be closer to his brother, but his brother had been very aggressive lately, glaring at him with his Sharingan in a way that made him feel guilty, and he would also ask him if he had finished his homework.

[QAQ Brother doesn't love me anymore?]

Indra went up the mountain to practice as usual at sunset. Halfway through, he found his younger brother following him. He looked so sneaky and unpromising. He stopped and turned around to ask with an impatient look on his face. "What's the matter?"

"I...I...want to eat dried bamboo shoots." Ashura's cheeks turned red, and his tone was a little weak, but he calmed down as he spoke. "It's spring now."

Indra's eyes fell on his brother's hands and back. He didn't bring a backpack or basket. Was he planning to bring something back? "Where's the backpack?"

"Ah... I'll go get it right away." Ashura jumped up and ran back, still mumbling something coquettish. "I'm afraid my brother doesn't want to go."

The two brothers rarely walked together, carrying the same backpack up the mountain, going to a place that did not belong to the Ninja Sect. The two of them sped up, shuttled through the jungle, passed through the back mountain where Indra usually practiced, and saw a small river surrounding the mountain. On the other side of the river was a large bamboo forest.

"It's sunset, dig quickly and go back." Indra's eyes were pierced by the setting sun reflected by the river. He stretched out his hand to block it and jumped to the other side.

"Brother, wait for me."

With their strength, they were able to dig bamboo shoots quickly. Two baskets of bamboo shoots weighed more than 200 kilograms, enough to dry and eat. But Ashura liked to share, so in previous years, there was never enough.

"You should come earlier with others tomorrow to dig more and dry more so that there will be enough to eat." Indra turned his eyes to his younger brother. Since he wanted everyone to eat together, he would bring everyone to dig together.

Asura was not happy when he heard this. He just wanted to be with his brother, so why did he throw him away like he was in trouble? "Brother, aren't you worried that we will be eaten by a bear?"

"Did you learn all the Ninja Sect in vain?" Indra was very puzzled to face his brother's resentment.

Asura: "..."

Can't we have a good chat today?

Why are you talking about homework again?

The top student brother does not understand the troubles of the poor student brother, Ashura sighed heavily. Recently, unusual voices have appeared in the Ninja Clan, which makes him start to worry that his brother can't get along well with everyone.

How about asking my brother to protect me tomorrow?

Gala~ Gala~

The sound of something rolling attracted Indra's attention. He ran out of the bamboo forest to search for the sound and saw a rope across the stream 30 meters above the ground.

One end was tied to the top of the bamboo forest, and the other end was tied to another mountain parallel to the other mountain. That mountain, the Ninja Sect's back mountain, and the Bamboo Mountain were arranged in an inverted triangle. Although the light was dim, one could still see a person sliding quickly with the help of the rope.

slide?

Yes, it slides.

"Brother?" Asura chased out, but as it was completely dark, he could not see anything.

“……” Indra remained silent. If he couldn’t solve the puzzle today, he would not be able to sleep at night.

Ashura looked left and right, and finally looked at his brother with a question mark on his face, his head tilted like a big golden hairy looking at humans innocently. As if to say: What are you talking about? I don't understand.

"Tomorrow... I'll come with you." Indra couldn't bring himself to let his brother go back alone with disgraced face, so he suppressed his curiosity and decided to look at the cause and effect tomorrow.

Ashura cheered with a big smile on his face. It seemed that his brother still loved him, but he was just not good at expressing it. As long as he worked harder, his brother would definitely be the same as when they were little.

As soon as the two brothers came down the mountain, they smelled the aroma of meat wafting in the air. The rich flavor of the sauce stimulated their taste buds, and their hungry stomachs began to growl.

Indra looked a little unnatural, feeling embarrassed in front of his brother.

"Brother, let's go take a look. No one lives here." Asura touched his rumbling stomach and thought that if he found a lost person, he should be able to get a meal... or even a meal.

Indra looked at his brother who ran out, sighed helplessly and followed him. The idiot's thoughts were written on his face.

The distance between Xiaoyuan Mountain and Zhushan Mountain was only about 10 meters. With their ability, it only took them minutes to climb to the middle of the mountain. They saw lights in the distance, a bamboo house under construction, and a tent in the open space next to it. The light was coming from there.

A young girl sat by the fire, happily eating delicious food, her peach blossom eyes curved into crescents.

Gulu gulu!

The harsh sound of stomach rumbling broke the silence of the night.

The girl turned around and saw two strange men with weapons in their hands, and she jumped up immediately. "Oh my god, there are bandits here too?"

Ashura looked around in astonishment. Is there anyone so bold? : "Where are the bandits?"

"..." Indra looked at the small hoe in his hand and suddenly realized that the bandit was their brother.
