Chapter 401, The Ninth Issue!
Seeing that Indra remained silent, Ashura continued to shake his brother's sleeve, "Brother, what exactly do 'forced hooking' and 'murder' mean?"
Indra's little face was also filled with confusion, so he decided to ask their father for help: "According to the teachings of the scriptures, murder means to harbor evil intentions and turn a living life into a dead corpse—"
After a pause, Indra asked the Sage of Six Paths, his father and Ashura's father, with a mixture of doubt and curiosity.
"Father, may I ask what the meaning of 'strong hook' is? I have never heard of this term in the Ninja Clan's records."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "Uh—"
"This—this—"
The young Indra and Ashura raised their innocent faces and looked at their all-knowing father, the leader of the Ninja Sect, their eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki felt an unprecedented chill run down his spine.
He did know the meaning of that word—
But how to explain it to his two sons became a big problem.
"After all, Lord Indra and Lord Ashura are only under 13 years old —"
Shuanghai stood behind the Sage of Six Paths, understood his predicament, and pointed out the crux of the problem.
"But even if you don't tell them now—" Shuanghai said, "the gods will surely explain the meaning of these terms later, won't they?"
"It would be better if you explained it to them first, so that Lord Asura and Lord Indra could be mentally prepared—"
"You're right."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki coughed lightly, pondering how to explain the true meaning of "forceful hook" to his two sons.
"Uh, that term means forcing someone to do something they don't want to do, even when they don't want to."
Upon hearing this explanation, Shuanghai exclaimed excitedly, "As expected of the Sect Master! He was able to explain that word perfectly, while avoiding all the words that shouldn't have been told to Lord Indra and Lord Asura!!"
Ashura suddenly realized!
"I see!"
"?"
"It's like I clearly don't want to inherit the Ninja Sect; I just want to stay by my brother's side forever. But my father forces me to participate in some kind of Ninja Sect successor trial in the future." This kind of behavior, forcing me to inherit the Ninja Sect, is called coercion, right?!
"?!?!"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki and the two sea creatures were greatly frightened!
"No, I don't think that's what the sect leader meant—" Shuanghai tried to defend the Sage of Six Paths.
But Indra and Asura, with their eyes wide open, clearly did not understand the true meaning of the word. The Sage of Six Paths and his other disciples, unable to explain directly, found themselves in an awkward situation.
[Topic: In the world of anime and manga, which is more serious, murder or forced seduction?]
[“You have 30 minutes for this topic. Please speak freely within the limits allowed by the review guidelines.”]
【time:】
【00:29:59】
The topic begins: The Ninja Clan Successor Trial Timeline - "Brother! A new topic has begun!"
"Hmph!" Indra turned away in annoyance. "What's the point of discussing such an absurd topic?!"
""
"But—but—" Ashura looked at his brother's displeased back, "Brother, which of these two scenarios do you think is more serious?"
"Nonsense!" Indra said without hesitation, "Of course it's stronger—cough, of course it's the former."
"?!?!?!" Ashura was so shocked he was almost speechless. His eyes widened in disbelief as he retorted, "But the latter took the other person's life! If they died, wouldn't everything be gone? Isn't that obviously more serious?!"
"snort!"
Indra let out a short, cold laugh, turning half his face to the side, his eyes filled with a look of utter disappointment: "Asura, your vision is ultimately still at the level of a mortal."
"The act of murder destroys only an end point, something that can be measured and punished by law. But—"
"The former destroys the living's trust in society, in order, and even in those who protect them," Indra said. "Once this trust collapses, the foundation of the order I have built will forever be riddled with irreparable cracks."
"Is it even more serious than taking a life? —?" Ashura murmured.
Then he raised his head, his eyes clear and without a trace of impurity, and cast an honest gaze at his brother, Ashura: "Speaking of which, what exactly does 'Forced Hook' involve?"
All of Indra's prepared theories and rebukes were choked back by this pure, unadulterated gaze.
With a sigh, Indra lifted the hairline from his forehead.
"What's there to argue with a simple-minded idiot like you?"
"elder brother----"
As the two spoke, a barrage of comments had already appeared in the sky: "Finally, a new topic! I've waited three hours! How are you going to compensate me?!" 10+ people liked this. "Indra!! Your approval rating isn't low! It's a system error; it counted many supportive comments and likes as neutral votes." 10+ people liked this. "Counted support for your brother as neutral?" Ashura murmured in confusion.
But what does "system" mean? Does it refer to that strange mirror?
Ashura looked at the glass mirror behind him, where the milky white image displayed the topic of the event and a countdown.
Upon hearing Asura's voice, Indra slowly raised his head and looked at the comments posted by the all-knowing gods in the sky.
[Because many of the highly-rated comments supporting Asura were actually criticizing the Sage of Six Paths, without directly stating who they supported.] 10+ people liked this. [Poor Indra, he got caught in a bug.] 10+ people liked this. [This new topic is interesting!] 10+ people liked this. [The other forums are rife with criticism, screenshot.jpg] 10+ people liked this. The screenshot shows comments from other forums, Tieba, and analysis videos:
My heart aches for Ashura, Madara Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha.
It's lamentable how unlucky Indra was.
Those who criticize the algorithm for being severely inaccurate and suspected of favoring Asura (a specific character/class) —
"elder brother!!"
Ashura pointed excitedly at the screenshot, as if he himself were the one who had turned the tables and won.
Indra's Sharingan revealed a hint of surprise.
But after a moment, he gave a proud and disdainful snort: "Results are more important than process. In any case, your approval rating is higher."
"elder brother!"
So stubborn—I feel so sad—
Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
"Indra is truly worthy of being Sasuke's past life; he's just as awkward as Sasuke!" Naruto remarked, seeing the situation through the mirror wall.
"————" Sasuke didn't even bother to glance at Naruto, and said indifferently, "What a boring analogy. Indra is Indra, and I am me. As for you, if you say another word, I'll shove you into the mirror."
Naruto quickly took a step back. "You're getting more and more 'tsundere'."
"Shut up, you utter idiot." Sasuke said, displeased.
Lee reminded Naruto, "According to the comments, Sasuke's past life was Madara Uchiha."
"But no one dares to mention that freak," she said awkwardly and haughtily.
However, no sooner had she finished speaking than the hearty laughter of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, echoed from afar: "Hahaha, Madara is just as the gods say, awkward and tsundere! Hahaha!"
"You're asking for death! Hashirama!!!! Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!!"
The twelve little heroes:

"At that time, in the sky—"
Among the new issues of confusion, the guidance of the gods to the Asuras is particularly noteworthy.
【What's going on?! Indra and Asura's relationship has always been strained since they grew up, especially with the old man of the Six Paths showing favoritism by putting Asura through a trial! Now they've even made Asura's approval rating three times that of Indra! Are they really trying to make them brothers fight like cats and dogs?!】10+ people liked this. 【Asura! Can you see us talking?! Say something if you see us!】10+ people liked this. At this moment, Asura was worried about how to improve his relationship with his brother. Not quite understanding the context of the direct Chinese translation, he knew the gods were about to give him advice again!
Without saying a word, he immediately responded according to the method Boruto had taught him:
【VIP】【Ashura】【Squeak—!】10+ people think it's great 【Is this AI or the real Ashura? So funny!!】10+ people think it's great 【Is this avatar trying to kill me with laughter? Indra is even standing next to him!】10+ people think it's great 【Indra, quickly put your brother away, or we'll steal him. (Voice is super loud)】10+ people think it's great 【Holy crap! You really dare? Isn't this the same as declaring war on Indra?】10+ people think it's great 【The effect is comparable to Obito Uchiha's line, "The Fourth Shinobi World War, I hereby declare war!"—just as majestic and domineering! Saying you're going to steal his brother in front of an Uchiha, what kind of wolfish statement is this? Truly, the bolder the man, the greater the harvest!】10+ people think it's great 【Seriously! Ashura, you absolutely have to keep Indra calm! Don't let him leave, otherwise you'll be fighting next time you meet!】 】10+ people think it's great【VIP】【Asura】【But————】10+ people think it's greatAsura glanced at his brother who had turned his back.
[VIP][Ashura][How can I stop my brother from leaving?] 10+ people think this is great. [If all else fails, just cling to his leg! If he wants to leave, he can only drag you along!] 10+ people think this is great. [Hahaha, you'll definitely get beaten up, okay?] 10+ people think this is great. [What are you afraid of! Although Ashura doesn't have much talent, he at least inherited the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Body, so he can take a beating.] 10+ people think this is great. "?!" Ashura looked at the comments, blinked, "This—can, can take a beating—?" Although his body was indeed very strong, his brother's attacks really hurt!!!
Naruto, indignant, puffed out his chubby cheeks. "Sorry I don't have much talent! Did you have to be so blunt?" he muttered. "Anyway, Sasuke, Madara, and Indra are just more talented than us, hmph!"
Sasuke glanced at him, secretly pleased by his words.
"If it weren't for Naruto's resilience, he probably would have been killed by Sasuke long ago."
Kiba Inuzuka's words drew nods of agreement from the others, and Hinata whispered, "Madara Uchiha always seems to praise the First Hokage's regenerative abilities too—"
For example, no one can compare to Hashirama, and Hashirama can heal himself without medical ninjutsu.
"Looking at it this way, the Asura lineage is really miserable too; they're just being used as punching bags by their older brothers."
Someone said something that made Sasuke and Madara Uchiha, who had just finished fighting Hashirama, shudder!
The term "brother" or something like that —
I can secretly feel a little smug, but no one will know, right?
Neji glanced at them, then turned his Byakugan gaze back to the barrage of comments in the sky. There, a heated discussion about humanity was taking place.
[In the world of anime and manga, the crime of forced seduction is definitely more serious! Murder can help create a cruel, powerful, wicked, and cold-blooded character image, but forced seduction and torture will definitely lower a character's image; to put it bluntly, it's low-class. Popular anime and manga characters can be villains, can be very evil, even purely bad is fine, but they absolutely cannot be low-class!! Who would like a low-class character??] 10+ people liked this. [Yes, Madara is so popular as a villain, isn't it because he's powerful and classy?] 10+ people liked this. Uchiha Madara:

He was speechless.
[When he killed the Allied Shinobi Forces, his line, "Does this remind you of dancing?" became a viral classic! Doesn't that prove that killing isn't a crime in the world of anime?] 10+ people thought it was great. Allied Shinobi Forces: "————"
Listen to me, I'm fucking @#￥%————
—The hearts of the Ninja Alliance are filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
"That's outrageous!" Naruto exclaimed. "Are our lives really that worthless in their eyes?!"
The Konoha ninja nearby laughed. "At least please exclude your and Sasuke's names from the phrase 'us'."
"Yes, yes, you two are both male leads."
"Yes, yes, your lives are more precious than Madara Uchiha's. After all, according to the original ending, he would eventually die at the feet of Lord Hashirama."
"Didn't the comments say she died in Hashirama's arms?"
"Wait a minute! The comments I'm seeing are people dying under Hashirama-sama's crotch?!"
"No, no, no! It was Lord Hashirama who shot me through the heart from behind!"
"Didn't he die from the betrayal of Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu, suffering a brutal heart-wrenching death?"
"Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu seemed to have ripped it out twice, right? Madara's heart must be incredibly strong! Hahahaha!"
Their voices grew louder and louder until Madara Uchiha, standing some distance away, could no longer pretend not to hear them.
His rage steadily escalated, and Madara Uchiha unleashed a massive Fire Release technique: "I don't care how I die! But how you die is up to me!! Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!!!"
"!!!!!"
The Allied Shinobi Forces are now in a panic!!
"Aaaaah! Water Release! Use Water Release now!"
"Earth Release! Quickly use Earth Release to defend!"
"Help!! Second Hokage! Use Sea Release! Use Sea Release now!!"
The battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War was in complete chaos. Izuna and his brother were both angry, looking like two berserk fire-breathing dragons.
On the Allied Shinobi Forces' side, Naruto and Sasuke helped hold off the enemy while simultaneously turning to angrily rebuke them: "Don't get too cocky! That's Uchiha Madara!!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
"Thanks to you all————"
The Allied Shinobi Forces, who had breathed a sigh of relief, were so frightened that they fell to the ground with a thud. "After watching too many of those comments, we've all forgotten how terrifying Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha were."
"Yeah, we've almost forgotten that they're both ruthless villains."
"Everyone has been resurrected~" And it was the two of them.
Madara and Izuna didn't really intend to kill them. Under the protection of Sasuke and Naruto, these Allied Shinobi Forces soldiers who remained on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War were safe and sound.
In the distance, Tobirama sighed, rubbing his forehead, and complained to Madara and Izuna: "They're acting like children. Can't they be a little more mature?"
Hashirama sat cross-legged on the ground, a gentle smile in his eyes. "I'm truly happy to see Madara getting along so well with everyone."
[Not necessarily. The world of anime and manga doesn't really have any moral concepts that need to be defined. As long as the character is portrayed as ridiculously powerful enough, even disgusting things can have a certain coolness.] 10+ people liked this.
