"Hey, did you hear? The Hagoromo-sama will choose his successor in the next village gathering!"

"What? It must be Indra-sama who'll be the future patriarch! Who else would it be?!"

"You couldn't say so... Indra-sama seems to rather more and more distant and scary than before you know..."

"Yeah.. he is, but He is strong you know! and he is the creator of Hand symbol after all!"

"But, I think if Asura-sama is the future patriarch, the village will be more peaceful..."

By the time Indra and Asura almost reaching their 16 years of age, the village began to full with hullabaloo of the future patriarch of their village. And, while many choose Indra, some of them feel that Asura will be much better in leading them... While, the younglings arguing about that Indra is the strongest... Deep in the oldies subconciousness, especially Hagoromo and Futami's mind... Indra is weak... far too weak than the person that they know... but, can't remember...

Thus, the times advances, faster than they realized. It is the time to attend Village Gathering, and the time that Hagoromo will choose their future Leader.

""Father!""

"""Patriarch!"""

At the same time as Indra and Asura Salute their Father, villagers too salute tehir Patriarch.

"By now, you all must be already know. That this village gathering will tell you, your future leader! The person who will lead you all!"

Told Hagoromo.

"Unfortunately, I still have yet to know... Who will success me, as the next leader of the Ninshuu village..."

Sound of sigh, fell on the villagers by the time they hear about the word uttered by Hagoromo. 

"Father! I don't want to become the next leader, and I too know I have not had the qualification and the knowledge to!"

Shout Asura, While Indra keep maintaining his silence.

"Even so, not all think like that. There still many who want you to became their future leader, and lead them... Are you want to dissapoint them?"

"I did not..."

Answer Asura Dejectedly.

Although it's true that, he doesn't have the knowledge to lead. It is the same for his father, up until now... all of the village problem, being resolved by Futami... Still, Ninshuu village is peaceful village, none of the problem escalated much. Almost no problem will come in a year, it is only several, and the most troubling problem that happen until today is the thing that happen to Asura's friend, that sell the properties of the village for his own need. That too are not for himself, but for his mother's medicine cost...

"With that reason, I make a Test for the 2 of you..."

Thus, the test started. The two of them, needed to conclude Hagoromo's 2 place, that not been fixed... That is the location where the Divine Tree's root fly about.

One had to know first, that when the battle between him and his brother against their mother Kaguya. It took many problem to the world, the problem is make many change... Including, the divine tree roots, that being scattered here and there, at the same time, the damage in the world that change many geographical location of the world... Thus, after the battle concluded, Hagoromo journeyed the world and fixing the damage after the battle, while his brother hamura, accompanying their sealed mother in the moon.

  Bye the time his journey ended, there's still 2 location. Where he have yet to fix, thus he leave it to his sons as their test. How will they complete it, and how will they fix and exterminate the Divine tree's root, at the same time, what change will they leave in the world?
