Even so, there were still quite a few people in the comments spamming the Yinxiu and Xiuyin brother memes.
Without ninjutsu like the "Darkness Movement Technique" developed by later ninjas, even the Sage of Six Paths and his sons would be helpless against these projectiles.
Fortunately, he didn't use cheating methods like the "Dark Travel Technique," so unlike some timelines where the entire ninja world is like listening to a novel, with several fixed male and female voices in his mind, reciting those passing words without any emotion.
Moreover, even if Tobirama, Hashirama, and Madara immediately stopped using the Dark Travel Technique, the barrage of messages that appeared in the sky seemed determined to finish broadcasting before it would stop. This caused chaos and panic in several timelines of the ninja world, and the voices in people's minds will likely continue to echo indefinitely.
From these comments, I learned who Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki were, as well as what Black Zetsu actually was.
However, for Hagoromo and Hamura, Indra and Ashura, these comments, which implicitly mocked their brotherly bond, revealed more information about the future. They learned who Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki really were, and they also fully understood the true nature of the "Black Zetsu" conspiracy that had been hidden for a thousand years.
What pained them even more was the future concerning their own fate. The two brothers would eventually face an irreversible rift, even making a curse-like vow—one would be reincarnated life after life to destroy the Ninja Clan founded by their father; the other would be reincarnated endlessly to chase and stop his brother.
What some "gods" interpreted as a story of eternal love was, for the brothers, a source of resentment and sorrow weighing heavily on their hearts.
[Ashura and Indra were both wrong. The truly correct one is a third party that absorbs the essence of both, taking the best and discarding the worst. But the problem is in the ninja world; because of Ashura and Indra's reincarnations and Black Zetsu's meddling, this third party was killed before it could even emerge and take shape.] 10+ people liked this. [What did Ashura do? He was just too weak and needed help! And yet he got all the good things!] 10+ people liked this. [Don't be fooled by the anime's drastic changes; the manga doesn't emphasize Ashura's weakness. Indra inherited the Sage's Eyes, and Ashura inherited the Sage Body; they were at least evenly matched. It's just that Ashura ultimately inherited all the power of the Six Paths and defeated Indra.] 10+ people liked this. [Hilarious! Surviving to the end and becoming a winner in life—isn't that a popular novel trope right now?] [10+ people liked this] "In reality, reason and law, and emotion and law, are sometimes paradoxical. It's impossible to solve all problems by relying solely on reason or emotion! For example, the law clearly stipulates that private individuals cannot engage in pig slaughtering and commercial activities. But are you expecting people in remote mountain villages to carry a pig over several mountains to a designated slaughterhouse in the city to be slaughtered, and then carry it back, just to sell it to their neighbors?" [74531 people liked this] "This seems to be the law of that world, or rather, that country."
The Sage of Six Paths stroked his long beard, his gaze deep and thoughtful. Taking advantage of a lull in the scrolling comments, he fell into deep thought—if such a law truly existed under his Ninja Sect, how would he adjudicate it? And should such a law even exist?
This governance problem, originating from another world, unexpectedly sparked deep thought in Indra and Asura.
Not only them, but everyone watching the barrage of comments—the disciples of the Ninja Clan, and the ninjas, nobles, daimyo, and merchants who glimpsed this scene through the rift in time—anyone willing to think—followed this question and fell into silent contemplation of the nature of the law and its enforcement.
"I cannot understand the meaning of enacting such a law," Ashura said, his brow furrowed.
In other timelines, many ninjas also expressed similar confusion. "This is such a simple matter, why make it so complicated?" he said frankly. "Wouldn't it be better to let the villagers handle it themselves, or hire nearby ninjas to help?"
"Naive!" someone immediately retorted. "Have you ever considered that for those living deep in the mountains, just getting to the ninja village to issue the mission is a difficult journey in itself!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto, in his Fourth Shinobi World War, pictured the Inari family in his mind and whispered to Sasuke and Sakura, "Like Uncle Tazuna, if it weren't for a powerful enemy like Zabuza and Gato's schemes, he wouldn't have bothered coming all the way from the Land of Waves to Konoha. He even had to lie about the mission's level because he couldn't afford the high reward—"
Because the Second Hokage was very fond of him, whenever there were thought-provoking questions about humanity and politics in the comments, he, the former Hokage, couldn't help but give Sasuke, Sakura, and the other Konoha Twelve "tutoring classes" to cultivate their thinking abilities and broaden their horizons.
For a time, even the farmers and hunters of the ninja world and the Ninja Clan era shook their heads, believing that the gods' laws were utterly inhumane! How could they make things so difficult for ordinary people?!
At the same time, the powerful lords and wealthy merchants of various countries secretly nodded in agreement. Although they knew the law was harsh and even inhumane, they understood that such a system would facilitate taxation and control, and therefore might not be a bad thing. As for the ordinary people, that was not their concern!
Indra and Madara, who remained silent throughout, had already made their decision.
Contrary to the majority opinion, they believed that every law has its rationale. Difficulties encountered in its implementation are matters that individuals must overcome; how can the foundation of the law be shaken for the sake of a few? If exceptions are made, order will collapse, and how can the world be governed in the future?
Their thoughts were subsequently guessed quite well by the all-knowing gods.
[If Indra were to govern by force and absolute law, even with a thousand difficulties, the villagers in the mountains would simply have to carry him to the slaughterhouses behind the mountains according to the law.] 73825 people liked this. [So what? At worst, they won't raise them, or they can eat them themselves and not sell them.] 25162 people liked this. [This is like asking, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" Farmers raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep as an important means of livelihood for them in case of emergencies! Even if they do raise them, they wouldn't eat them themselves. They usually only use them when someone in their family is seriously ill and needs money for treatment, or when they need to buy necessities and have no money.] 59319 people liked this. [Is there something wrong with this law? If it were Indra, Madara, or Sasuke, they wouldn't have created such a disgusting law!!] 41292 people liked this.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's lips curled into a half-smile, his gaze sweeping over Naruto: "If you were a kid, you'd probably be jumping up and shouting right now, 'I'll change this unreasonable system!'"
Naruto chuckled, not denying Sasuke's words, but talking about the present: "After all, I've been Hokage for so many years, and before taking office, I even went through intensive training with Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei."
Just like him.
Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage in each timeline, did not act as if it were a matter of course. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, pondering why the realm of gods would establish such laws.
However, Ashura in the Ninja Clan timeline thought more simply. He had always lived within the Ninja Clan and was well protected by Indra and the people of the Ninja Clan. After going out for trials, he encountered kind villagers who were easily influenced.
In the live chat, the all-knowing gods also guessed this, and then posted the following:
[If it were an Asura, he would likely be the complete opposite of Indra. Just as he once violated the rules of the Ninja Clan by cutting down a tree for his friend Daizo, wouldn't he change the rules or allow commoners to stop following them if someone earnestly begged him?] 73489 people found this helpful, but then someone provided some background information:
[None of you have read about the rationale behind this law; you're just following the trend based on short videos, aren't you? To be precise, it's based on the "Regulations on the Administration of Pig Slaughter," which implements a system of designated pig slaughter and centralized quarantine. Without designation, no unit or individual may engage in pig slaughtering activities (except for those in rural areas who slaughter pigs for their own consumption).]
All legal regulations are generally based on painful lessons learned. When the slaughter and sale of sick, dead, or diseased pigs leads to the deaths of consumers, a large number of people cry out: Why doesn't the government regulate this?
95678 people found this very helpful. [Especially those with limited knowledge and perspectives; many people genuinely can't bear to throw away livestock that have died. Wasn't there a similar incident two years ago—a top student got into Tsinghua or Peking University, and the grandmother, unable to bear leaving her sick chicken, made soup for her beloved grandson and sent the newly admitted student and his entire family away—] 77543 people found this very helpful. [It seems there was such an incident, but many people don't understand it and harbor wishful thinking.] 84561 people found this very helpful. [It's fine if they eat it themselves, but selling it to others is extremely unethical.] 89235 people found this very helpful. Those who were previously enthusiastic about this system now frown upon it as they see it as detrimental to the people's livelihood.
"But—" he hesitated, pondering, "if they are truly in trouble, we can't just cut off their livelihood!"
"Don't be so naive! Asura! How do you know if the other person is truly in trouble or just pretending?" Indra rebuked sharply. "What kind of impact will your one act of permission and tolerance have? Don't assume that everyone you meet in the future will be as you imagine them to be!"
"But—, brother!"
Ashura didn't know what to say. He felt it didn't matter if he suffered a little loss, but he also felt that he couldn't explain it to his brother at this time.
As if they had read his mind, the following comment appeared in the live chat: "The biggest difference between Indra and Asura is that Indra only encounters bad people, while Asura only encounters good people. Let's take the case you mentioned as an example. If an Asura's good deeds cause many deaths, could he accept that situation?" 61203 people found this helpful. Could he accept it?
Asura asked himself.
[Don't say there's no legal control; even with legal control, these incidents have happened multiple times. The streptococcal disease outbreak years ago was caused by farmers illegally slaughtering, processing, and consuming diseased pigs, leading to over 200 infections and dozens of deaths. Foot-and-mouth disease also caused over 70 poisonings, including the deaths of several children. There are far too many such cases. There were also cases of illegally slaughtering and selling rabid goats, ultimately resulting in 12 infections and all 12 deaths. And so on.]
[If you people think like that, then go back to your eggshells! You might get hit by a car if you go outside anyway! Even going downstairs could result in being crushed by falling debris! It's a serious problem to make things difficult for a group of innocent people because of the actions of a few individuals!] 77543 people liked this.

[Is the person upstairs watching too much Death Note?] 98413 people think this is great. You should know that at this stage, there are only a few thousand people in the Ninja Clan.
The few serious incidents mentioned in the comments alone could have dealt a severe blow to the Ninja Sect, almost half a percent of its strength.
Even in the future ninja world, it would be far larger than a village.
The people in the connected Ninja Sect timeline, as well as the Sage of Six Paths who had been resurrected or summoned to the Ninja World, all fell into deep thought.
For a fleeting moment, he couldn't be sure if love could truly move everyone.
[Speaking of which, the Sage of Six Paths can be quite hypocritical sometimes————] Over 10 people thought this was great. While pondering, Hagoromo Otsutsuki happened to see this comment.
[He supports Asura because Asura, like him, intends to reform the world with love. But one couldn't even reform his own son, and the other could even expel his own brother. What makes them think they can reform the world with love?] 10+ people liked this. [That's the problem! If they can't reform them, they expel them as if nothing happened, but the risk always exists. If they had just killed Indra, eliminating this dissident and danger, they wouldn't have suffered this illness!] 10+ people liked this. [Honestly, they might as well have killed Indra.] 59476 people liked this. Indra:
[Actually, it's mainly because after watching Boruto, Naruto might as well have killed Sasuke.] 10+ people think this is a good point. Uchiha Sasuke:
Why are there more than 50,000 people who agreed to kill Indra's close friends, while more than 100,000 people agreed to kill themselves?
Uchiha Sasuke felt resentful.
[The Ashura faction won so many times, but when did they truly influence or persuade the Indra faction? In the end, wasn't it Naruto who subdued Sasuke? If they had acted sooner, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!] 85379 people liked this. [Keeping Indra alive was like keeping a time bomb! He had such high talent, and his ideals were completely different. Letting him go was like planting a sure-fire bomb for Ninjashu!] 70964 people liked this. [Among the Ashura lineage, only Hashirama was ruthless; he was the only one who killed someone from the Indra lineage.] 75801 people liked this. [Indeed, although Madara didn't die using the Izanagi technique, Hashirama truly ruthlessly stabbed Madara in the heart from behind.] 94128 people liked this. [So don't be fooled by Hashirama's seemingly carefree and naive demeanor; he was the most powerful member of the Ashura lineage!]
Ow+ people think this is great—World War IV timeline—
Hashirama Senju, in his fourth World War, forced a smile at Madara Uchiha, whose back was turned to him. "Madara, I'm sorry! If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, I will—"
"Shut up! And don't stand behind me!!!" Madara Uchiha didn't even turn his head, angrily cursing Hashirama at the air in front of him, "Forget about compensation! Anyway, I don't get along with you!!" Don't get along! Hmph!
Humph! !! !!
"?! Don't do that!" Hashirama took another step forward. "I feel like we get along really well! You're my best friend! Are you a divine revelation, or perhaps my chakra mentor—"
Every time Hashirama uttered a word—
Madara Uchiha's face, with his back to him, flushed redder by one or two shades.
