I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 686 From the moment the future was spied upon, the future could no longer be determined.

"Did you wait for me specifically so I could see the betting targets you've chosen?"

Tatsuma also spoke, and Indra's figure gradually appeared in the chaos. Indra looked at Tatsuma and said, "I suddenly had a premonition some time ago that the person you are going to defeat is not Uchiha Madara, but me."

But I've never met you before, which is strange. Please explain it to me.

"Why do you care so much? Are you really going to give up this match against Ashura?"

After Chenma finished speaking, Indra nodded and said, "Perhaps I will give up. If this is a match that has already been decided, then I will abandon it without hesitation."

Although I don't know why, your behavior tells me that the relationship between you, me, and Ashura is far beyond my comprehension. Is it because of Father?

"Although it isn't, I still want to correct you. It's your father. Don't just casually expand your father's social circle. Be more precise with your words."

Tatsuma shrugged and said, "As for what you want to know, I won't give you the answer, because it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, the only one you can bully right now is this unborn child who doesn't even have his own will."

Once he's born, you can't even change his choices, right? All you can do is shake the dice before opening the lid, trying to change the numbers.

Indra did not deny it, but became more certain of something. He had never met Chenma, and in the Pure Land, he had asked Asura, and received the same answer.

However, Tatsuma showed a level of understanding of him far beyond what was expected. The two didn't even introduce themselves upon meeting, but they immediately started discussing a certain topic. This is not how strangers communicate.

"As you said, once the dice cup is opened, I can't even cheat, but if the dice cup is not opened, I can choose to withdraw from the game."

If you want this gamble between me and Ashura to continue, answer one question: Is the future of the person Ashura and I have chosen this time predetermined?

Indra did not give up. Tatsuma frowned and said, "Are you using a child's life to blackmail me?"

"You can understand it that way. Now, answer my question."

Indra felt no guilt whatsoever. Tatsuma frowned; he hated this feeling. To avoid being arbitrarily threatened by others, he had made countless efforts to ensure that no one in the ninja world could treat him like that again.

But Indra Tatsuma thought for a moment and said, "From the moment the future is spied on, the future can no longer be determined."

Indra pondered Tatsuma's answer, then nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. You can go now."

"It's not that simple. Now it's your turn to answer my questions."

Why should I answer your question?

Upon hearing this, Chenma smiled and said, "The future is uncertain, but I can be certain that if you offend me, your future will be one of failure."

Indra's face darkened, just like Tatsuma's a moment earlier. He was actually being threatened one day. It had to be said, this feeling was truly infuriating.

Indra never lacked confidence in winning the battles against the Asuras. Even when he was repeatedly defeated, Indra was always confident that he would win the next time.

However, this was without anyone intervening after learning of the fight between the two.

As for interference from those who were unaware of the situation, such as the teachers' levels and experiences, none of these would shake Indra's faith. But the interference from Tatsuma, who was aware of the situation, was the only exception.

If Tatsuma is determined to interfere in his struggle with Indra, then everything will truly be as it seems.

Neither his power nor Ashura's power could resist Tatsuma, so Tatsuma could easily intervene or even decide the outcome.

This was unacceptable to Indra. He even considered drawing his sword and fighting Tatsuma, but it was no use. Even if he killed Tatsuma here, Tatsuma would only lose a little bit of chakra.

Just like Tatsuma before, his face darkened, and he said, frustrated, "What do you want to know?"

"What do you know about Madara Uchiha?"

Tatsuma asked, unsure whether Indra knew what Madara Uchiha had done throughout his life, since Indra could only be an observer after the vessel was born.

Bystanders often get distracted, even the Sage of Six Paths. Theoretically, the Sage of Six Paths could know everything in the past, but he didn't.

Upon hearing this, Indra quickly understood what Tatsuma wanted to know, and he said, "You will be disappointed. I don't know much, especially after he mastered my father's power."

That power exerted a strong suppressive effect on me, and only when he was unconscious could I glimpse a part of the outside world, such as during the final stages of your battle with him.

Tatsuma pursed his lips. He wasn't satisfied with the answer, but he believed that Indra hadn't lied to him, because Madara Uchiha was dead, and even if Madara Uchiha were to be resurrected, it would have nothing to do with Indra.

Therefore, Indra had no reason to hide anything from Madara Uchiha, making it unlikely that he could obtain information about Madara Uchiha's "backup plan" from Indra.

But Tatsuma still asked, "What do you know about his arrangements for what happens after his death?"

Indra thought for a moment and said, "There's probably only one thing: be careful with your children."

I have no children.

Tatsuma shook his head, somewhat bewildered, even wondering if Indra's way of narrating was wrong. Instead of telling him to be careful of his own child, Indra should have told him to be careful of Madara's child, even if Madara didn't have one.

But if we're just talking about possibilities, Tatsuma thinks that Madara Uchiha is even more likely to have children than he is.

Seeing Tatsuma say this, Indra frowned and said, "Then you don't need to be careful. I don't know anything else."

Tatsuma pondered Indra's words again, even wondering if Madara Uchiha had taken his genetic sample to conduct some kind of experiment, given Madara Uchiha's unpredictable research abilities, becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents.

If Madara Uchiha wanted to, he could very well use his genetic sample to do something, but... he had no clue how.

There was no useful information from the battle with Madara Uchiha, and Madara Uchiha had moved the Gedo Mazo, so it was impossible to find out what Madara Uchiha had done with the Gedo Mazo.

"Forget it, since you don't know, there's no need to continue this conversation. Let the child be born. I won't deliberately interfere with your match with Ashura."

Tatsuma shook his head, his chakra slowly returning. Indra nodded as well, and the two disappeared into the chaos.

Outside, Tatsuma's eyes regained their luster. He withdrew his chakra and said, "Everything's fine now. Once you've recovered your strength, the baby can be born."

Mikoto nodded, and sensing that the child in her womb seemed to be no longer resisting, and said, "Thank you for your help, Fourth Hokage."

Tatsuma nodded, left the ward, and said to Fugaku, "Congratulations, mother and child are definitely safe."

Even though the child wasn't born yet, Fugaku nodded happily and gratefully after Tatsuma finished speaking, saying, "Thank you so much, you really are..."

Looking at the hand that Chenma had just placed on his wife's pregnant belly, he blurted out, "A gynecological expert."
