Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 158 - Prospective Son-in-law?
The discussion about the plan to destroy the Kai Empire was attended by one of the Spider officials. Reptile's plan to obtain the incarnate bodies of the gods made him intend to utilize the military power of the Rakuza Empire which was the strongest in the Ezzo Continent. Reptile's goal is of course to target the body of the snow goddess and the body of the fertility goddess. Both are Iris and Hisui.
The Tiger Kai tournament became a separate event for hundreds of intruders from the Rakuza Empire with special forces to overthrow the throne of Emperor Hizen. Many fighters from the three kingdoms that were colonized by the Rakuza Empire were the Ellesmere Kingdom, the Plasa Kingdom and the Typhon Kingdom. The special forces of the three kingdoms were formed by Reptile on the permission of Emperor Orochi. Their name is known as Phyton.

Meanwhile in the East Sun Inn looks so crowded, the two intruders who are frozen Shirayuki attract the attention of warriors from other clans. Nagato only slept for two hours, his eyes staring at Iris who was beside Litha.
In the crowd of warriors appeared three people greeting Nagato. The three of them are Reto, Miake and Ninjin.
"Young master Nagato. You've grown up." Reto looks older, her hair is bleached and her path starts to bend. Meanwhile, Miake looked increasingly stocky, only that she was still as usual unwilling to talk to others. The fourteen-year-old boy who was Nagato's concern. Ninjin's figure looked very different, the young man looked dignified now.
"I'm not Nagato. I'm just a young man who just happened to pass by." Nagato tried to dodge Reto's words. But Reto, Miake and Ninjin already knew the aura and authority of Nagato even though the young man wore a white fox mask to cover his face.
"Young master Nagato, don't say that. I know you, hahaha." Reto laughs at Nagato who looks like he wants to hide his face which always attracts attention.
"Call me Nagato. I don't like being called young master." Nagato gave his regards to Reto and Miake to show the courtesy of the young swordsman of the Fuyumi Clan. Finished greeting, Nagato glanced at Ninjin and greeted the young man.
"For a long time no see, Ninjin." Nagato patted Ninjin on the shoulder and smiled faintly from behind the white fox mask he was wearing. "How was your training, you can tell me all about it" Nagato told Ninjin.
"Young master .. I mean Nagato. Long time no see." Ninjin was a little nervous greeting Nagato. The figure of the young man who was two years under his age looked very different. Ninjin felt Nagato was the most different person to the young swordsman he had ever met.
"I didn't expect us to meet by chance seven years ago .. Destiny always moves in unexpected directions" Nagato said as his head looked up slightly at the sky.
Nagato looked at Shirayuki who was insinuating one of the Ten Elders Kai who came to the Eastern Sun Inn. The ten elder Kai who came to see the two intruders who were about to kidnap Iris was Ryuzaki. The man named Ryuzaki had a cut on his face. His eyes were very sharp and his gaze was so piercing.
Despite being faced with one of the Ten Treads of Kai, Shirayuki showed no fear at all. The eyes of the one-headed woman returned Ryuzaki's sharp gaze with a cold, freezing look.
"Shirayuki, cool your head. Don't be like a child." Emi scolds Shirayuki who is arguing with Ryuzaki.
"These two men intend to kill my son, I as a mother will not let go, just like that." Shirayuki let out her white aura towards all the warriors including Ryuzaki. After being scattered, the cold started to crack open as Shirayuki manipulated her aura into snowflakes.
"Shirayuki! I don't intend to repeat your words, you must hand these two men over to the Parliament of Kai Court!" Ryuzaki starts to grow furious with Shirayuki's attitude that is out of bounds. It was rare for any swordsman to dare to challenge the Ten Lords of Kai except for those who had strong ties to the Kagutsuchi Clan in the past.
"Junk like you dare to rule me! You don't even deserve to see me at all!" Shirayuki sinisterly plays her fan and looks down on all the male warriors around her including Ryuzaki.
For a long time Nagato had not seen Shirayuki who looked disgusted at someone, Nagato who was looking from a distance just smiled broadly at the look on Ryuzaki's face that looked very bad. Ryuzaki's face radiated anger at Shirayuki.
"How dare you belittle me, you are based on******fucking!" Ryuzaki shouted and was about to hit Shirayuki. Everyone was shocked to see Ryuzaki's actions but what came to their attention was a young man wearing a white fox mask resisting Ryuzaki's hand blow with his fire-covered hand.
"Aunt Shirayuki doesn't want to see you, you better get out of here!" Nagato also cynically told Ryuzaki to leave the East Sun Inn immediately.
"Buch, you brash! I broke your head!" Ryuzaki hardened his body with his aura. He quickly attacked Nagato. The clash of blows collided fiercely in the front yard of the East Sun Inn.
Everyone who saw Ryuzaki was provoked by the anger that one young man was silent and the other laughed, Nagato was able to withstand Ryuzaki's blow. It was not long before Nagato was hit right in his stomach.
"Damn! I won't lose!" Nagato stared intently at Ryuzaki from behind the white fox mask he was wearing.
Shirayuki and Emi let Nagato fight with Ryuzaki to show the warriors from other clans that they should not easily submit to the Ten Elders Kai. A big gamble, but Shirayuki and Emi strongly believe in Nagato's power.
Ryuzaki smiled sinisterly when he saw Nagato slumped on the ground, then he re-released his body aura in any direction to intimidate everyone who saw him fighting Nagato.
"Crack that mask, you rancid boy!" Ryuzaki was about to hit Nagato in the face but Nagato's speed was beyond Ryuzaki's expectations.
Nagato's hand was coated in dense flames, not until two seconds suddenly the flames raged in his right hand. Nagato manipulated his golden aura into fire and struck Ryuzaki.
The flames from Nagato's hand punch were elongated and felt extremely hot, but Ryuzaki who was a swordsman who had occupied the Ten Elders Kai's seat could easily withstand Nagato's attack.
"Uncle, I'm a swordsman. Your attack can't even make me pull this sword of mine." Nagato held the black sword Grandpa Hyogoro gave him and smiled sinisterly at Ryuzaki. Everyone gulped hearing Nagato's words.
Ryuzaki furrowed his forehead, after hearing Nagato's cynical words, now his emotions were overflowing. Ryuzaki gnashed his teeth until he heard the sound of friction.
After he saw all the warriors from the eastern stronghold only seeing his fight against the young man wearing a white fox mask, Ryuzaki laughed and released his red-colored aura towards Nagato.
Ryuzaki's skin grew harder as he concentrated his aura to coat all parts of his body, and the range of his aura felt extremely deadly. Nagato almost collapsed when he sensed Ryuzaki's deadly aura.
"It's like this hasn't brought me down yet." Nagato could still smile even though he realized Ryuzaki was very far from his level.
Shirayuki was anxious to see Nagato and wanted to help the young man. When Shirayuki was about to let out her aura, Emi's hand calmed down Shirayuki who was worried for Nagato.
"Trust in the strength of your future son-in-law, Shirayuki." Emi smiled at Shirayuki. Then he stared intently at Nagato who looked so calm that even the young man now closed his eyes before releasing his aura back.
Shirayuki regained her composure at Nagato's determination trying to keep her good name, the young man moved Shirayuki. Perhaps if he was in the same generation as Nagato, Shirayuki would have fallen in love with Nagato.
"Let me show you my true strength!" Ryuzaki's hands were blood red, a wide smile was clearly visible on Ryuzaki's face when he saw the swordsman who was just watching looking worriedly at Nagato.
Nagato manipulated his aura into a fire that burned his entire body, loudly he shouted at Ryuzaki and his shout made everyone become amazed with Nagato.
"Take out all your strength, I won't lose!"
