Chapter 102 As expected of you
【Cure a disease? 】
Ashura and Taizou looked at each other.
Kanai looked at Ashura and said: [Come with me...]
The scene changed, and the three of them came to a simple house.
Ashura asked: [Where is this place? ]
[Nursing home, I would like you to help my mother with her illness. ]
After entering the house.
The three men came to a skinny woman lying on a straw mat.
Kanai stroked the woman's face with her hand and said, "Mom, she has been unconscious."
Asura picked up the woman's hand and felt it.
"What's going on? I can feel some strong chakra! Could it be from the sacred tree..."
Thinking of this, Ashura began to mobilize the chakra in his body.
A layer of green light suddenly covered the woman's entire body.
After a moment, Ashura stood up and said, "No, I can't cure her illness with my power. I'm sorry."
Kanae looked a little lost.
【Yeah……】
Ashura looked at the people lying on the straw mats around him and asked: [Are they all the same as your mother? ]
Taizo walked to the back of the room, parted the curtain and took a look.
This one glance made him see an extremely shocking scene.
【Asura, come here. 】
Asura heard this and walked towards him.
After opening the curtain, the two stood in front of the densely packed earth mounds. Ashura murmured: [Is this a grave? ]
A bead of sweat appeared on Taizo's face.
[No wonder I always feel this place makes people uncomfortable. ]
【Did this disease kill so many people? 】
Kanai came out of the house and answered Ashura's question.
【Yes. 】
Ashura looked serious and said in a firm tone: [It seems that I can only go once! ]
The scene changes.
Ashura came behind the villagers that the two were guarding and formed the 'Wei' seal with his hands.
[Sorry, please take a nap. ]
Asura made a few random seals with his hands, and became more and more silent.
One of the villagers asked: [What are you doing? ]
Ashura turned around and scratched his head in embarrassment.
[Uh… the seal of the illusion is…]
With two "bangs", two villagers fell to the ground.
Ashura turned his head and saw Taizo and Kanna each holding a wooden stick.
Tai Zang patted the stick in his hand and said with a smile: [This is much simpler. ]
Kanai put the stick behind her back and turned her head away.
Ninja World
"You are truly worthy of me, Ashura!"
"Haha, that's the Asura I remembered!"
"Has Ashura forgotten how to make hand seals again?"
"Can such a person assist his brother in the future?"
"Maybe he is the last ninja clan to inherit the clan?"
"The beautiful girl named Kanna also helped. Is it because of her mother?"

The three of them walked for an unknown amount of time before they finally arrived in front of the sacred tree.
[No mistake, this is the sacred tree! My chakra reacts strongly.]
[I understand. The sap of the sacred tree seeps into the earth. It may be this sap that nourishes the soil, which makes an oasis appear in the middle of the wilderness.]
Tai Zang beside him asked: [You mean, it is the power of the sacred tree that makes the land fertile? That means, the sacred tree has regained its power? ]
Ashura said seriously: [No, it has not yet fully revived, but it should gradually wake up. There are more serious problems! ]
【How to say? 】
Ashura explained: [I think humans will be the first to be polluted. ]
【pollute?】
[The sap of the sacred tree passes through the crops of this land, is ingested by animals and humans, and accumulates more and more in the body. ]
Taizo asked stupidly: [So, if you eat the food here, you will get that disease? ]
[Most likely.]
【Ahem!!!】
Taizou fell to his knees and began to retch.
【I ate a lot yesterday! 】
Ashura comforted him softly: [It's okay, I can cure that little bit with my magic.]
[But what has accumulated over the years is...]
Tai Zangou's voice became a little hoarse.
[But, since the elder has someone guarding here, it means that the elder knows all of this, right? ]
【should be. 】
Ninja World
"You know what, Ashura looks pretty handsome when he's serious, right?"
"Taizang's cowardly look makes me want to laugh the more I see him."
"What exactly is the sacred tree? There are too many secrets in this ninja world."

Next scene
The elder looked at the three Asuras and said, "Really? You saw the sacred tree."
【Yes. 】
[Traveler, why do you want to know the secrets of the village? ]
Ashura said solemnly: [I’m sorry, I came here from the Ninja Village on orders.]
The elder stood up and put his hands behind his back.
[The Ninja Clan? It is said that they destroyed the earth twenty years ago...]
The elder pointed at Ashura and asked: [Are you from the Ninja Clan? ]
[Yes. That tree is the remains of a monster that almost destroyed the world, so it has power. I was ordered to deal with it.]
After that, Ashura said worriedly: [Elder, that tree is like poison. The power of the sacred tree will indeed make the land fertile, but it will also corrupt the villagers. If this continues, one day...]
[Traveler, I have long understood this situation, but we cannot live without that tree.]
【why? 】
Hearing his question, the elder explained: [The tree gained power about a dozen years ago. Before that, this place was just a barren land. Cruel droughts came as scheduled every year, and countless people starved to death.]
Why not dig a well?
The elder sighed and said, "It failed. We have tried this method before, but after so many years of digging, we were always blocked by the solid rock layer under the ground. Now if we lose that tree, how can we survive? We can't let the villagers go back to the days of starvation. 】
[Besides, even if they knew the truth, the villagers would not agree. Traveler, leave us alone. Leave this land immediately.]
……
Ninja World
"I see. It seems that as long as Ashura uses ninjutsu to dig a well, this trial will be completed."
"Perhaps Indra has already completed the task brilliantly and is on his way back to the Ninja Clan."
"But what can these two successors learn from this simple trial?"
"Didn't Ashura say that he would not return to the Ninja Clan in the short term in order for his brother to inherit the Clan? The Six Paths Sage also understands Ashura's intentions and I believe he will respect his wishes, right?"
"I feel that those people in the Ninja Clan at that time were quite pitiful. If Indra inherited the Ninja Clan, they would definitely be under a lot of pressure. If I were a member of the Ninja Clan, I would definitely support Ashura!"
"It's the same for me. It's true that Indra is excellent, but he's too strict. Compared to him, I like leaders like Ashura who don't put on airs and can get along well with his subordinates."
"What kind of leadership qualities does Asura have? Indra, on the other hand, always gives people the feeling that he is in a high position."
"The Six Paths Sage has already made his meaning clear. Indra's excellence and Ashura's love are both necessary for the successor of the Ninja Clan. If only one of them is present, it is impossible to inherit the Ninja Clan."
"But the problem is, these two people can't merge. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world, let alone a perfect person!"
