Looking at the two children before him, Minamikawa Yuu withdrew his gaze.
Just as Hagoromo and Hamura had each inherited a portion of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's power, Indra and Ashura had likewise each inherited a portion of Hagoromo's power.
This gave them innate talents far beyond ordinary people, with powerful potential residing within their bodies.
In Minamikawa Yuu's view, if the power within these two could be fully developed, they should be no less formidable than pure-blooded members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
This was because their talent was high and their bloodlines were pure.
Relatively speaking, however, the personalities of the two were also quite different.
The elder brother, Indra, was more profound and sharp-minded, with even more outstanding talent.
The younger brother, Ashura's talent was not as great as his brother's, but he excelled in his simple-hearted nature, and his talent in Senjutsu was actually superior to his brother's.
Overall, both appeared excellent in Minamikawa Yuu's eyes, though their strengths lay in different areas.
However, one thing was very clear: among these two children, Hagoromo preferred the younger brother, Ashura, over the elder brother, Indra.
While this favoritism wasn't too obvious yet due to their age, the signs were already there.
"Between these two children, do you prefer Ashura?"
Taking advantage of the moment when the two children went out to play, Minamikawa Yuu looked at Hagoromo and asked.
Hagoromo hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "In terms of talent, Indra is above Ashura, but in terms of character, Ashura far surpasses Indra."
"They're only a few years old; how can you already judge their character?"
Minamikawa Yuu was somewhat speechless. "And even if Indra is a bit more calculating, he hasn't reached the point of having a poor character."
In Minamikawa Yuu's eyes, this was actually a double standard.
They were just children a few years old; where could one see differences in character?
It was nothing more than Hagoromo's own personal preference.
He preferred Ashura's personality, so naturally, he found Ashura more pleasing to the eye and was more likely to magnify Indra's flaws.
But in the eyes of Minamikawa Yuu, their grandfather, even if Indra was a bit more deep-thinking, it was within a normal range and far from reaching a problematic level.
Ultimately, being deep-thinking or shrewd wasn't necessarily a flaw most of the time.
Having no guile and being simple-minded wasn't entirely a virtue in Minamikawa Yuu's eyes either.
It all depended on how you guided them.
But if Hagoromo continued with this attitude and differential treatment, then given Indra's personality, something that might have been fine could be forced into becoming a problem.
"Sometimes it's better not to interfere too much with children and give them some freedom."
He spoke softly, "Interfering too much in a child's future might not necessarily yield the result you want."
"You are right, Father."
Hagoromo nodded, but he didn't seem to have much intention of changing.
Minamikawa Yuu saw his indifference and could only sigh inwardly, saying no more.
The children were grown up after all; they were no longer as obedient as before and had their own ideas about their personal affairs.
Under these circumstances, Minamikawa Yuu couldn't say much more.
He only hoped that in the future, they would not walk the old path and end up in fratricide.
Minamikawa Yuu sighed, various thoughts flashing through his mind.
Compared to Hagoromo, who now had two children, there was still no news from Hamura.
Although he had married, he had not yet fathered any children.
Minamikawa Yuu wasn't in a hurry about this; given their lifespans, there was plenty of time in the future to raise descendants.
"Come and meet your mother."
A moment later, Minamikawa Yuu spoke with a smile and called Ōtsutsuki Kaguya over.
This was the first time Indra and Ashura met their grandmother, and the first time the Hagoromo Brothers had seen their mother again after many years.
"Grand... Grandmother..."
Seeing their grandmother for the first time, the Indra brothers appeared somewhat nervous.
From Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, they felt an extremely powerful pressure.
It was the oppression brought by the progenitor of chakra; just by standing there without moving, that terrifying Chakra aura was almost suffocating, giving off a horrifying sensation.
Standing before them, looking at Indra and Ashura, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya only glanced at them and said nothing.
In those Byakugan eyes was the same indifference as ever, like a high and mighty deity without a shred of emotion.
"It's your first time meeting your grandsons, don't scare them."
Minamikawa Yuu's voice rang out from the side.
He took Kaguya's hand and shook his head at her, signaling her to relax.
Kaguya nodded, still silent, but the terrifying aura around her gradually subsided.
The brothers Indra and Ashura immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that you two also want to become kings in the future?"
Minamikawa Yuu shifted his gaze, letting it rest on Indra and his brother again.
As his voice fell, Indra and Ashura became nervous once more.
"That's right!"
Ashura, being frank by nature, was the first to speak: "We also want to become kings like you, Grandfather, and lead the people to a better life in the future!"
"Brother and I both think it would be very interesting!"
Hearing Ashura's words, although Indra was nervous, he eventually nodded.
Becoming the king of a land, ruling over a territory and being able to decide everything—this was likely one of the dreams of all men.
It was quite normal for Indra and Ashura to have such thoughts.
Beside them, hearing their words, Hagoromo couldn't help but feel a bit nervous as well.
He looked up, carefully observing Minamikawa Yuu's reaction, fearing that Minamikawa Yuu might be angered by this.
However, it was clear that Minamikawa Yuu would not get angry over such a small matter.
Meeting the gazes of everyone around, he smiled and then said: "Your courage is commendable."
"This process is much harder than you imagine."
"But since you have such thoughts, you might as well go and experience it in advance."
He pondered for a moment, then spoke amidst the surprised looks of those around him: "How about this."
"I will give the Xuanwu Island and the Island of Ryu to you to rule. From now on, you will be the kings of these two regions."
The Land of Ancestors had now unified the entire Ninja World.
And naturally, there couldn't be only this one continent in the entire world.
Over these years, as the fleet continued to explore outward, various islands were discovered. Many of these islands were vast in area, no smaller than a country.
The Island of Ryu and the Xuanwu Island were among the largest of these islands. Each was very large, though they were currently quite barren, with only some indigenous inhabitants living there.
Minamikawa Yuu now, in the name of the King of the Land of Ancestors, bestowed these two places upon Indra and Ashura to be their private territories.
