Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 162 - The Sincere Victory of Nagato and Litha

Nagato and Heise stared intently at each other, not how long Heise took out a spear. All the spectators started cheering at Heise who looked formidable, while Nagato was just observing Heise's movements.

The swordsman who became the clan boss and the Ten Elders Kai observed Nagato. They all realized Nagato looked like a tiger letting its prey near.

Heise with a slight smile began to make a move, her hands turning her spear. With a quick step he began to swing his spear aiming for Nagato's heart.

Everyone who cheered in favor of Heise instantly fell silent, Heise's attack nothing hit Nagato at all. Nagato's agility and agility that eluded Heise's every attack made the audience's support turn to Nagato.

Hideaki wrinkled his face at the helpless Heise fighting Nagato. There was no attack that Nagato had pinned on Heise. The thing Nagato did was simply dodge Heise's attack while closing his eyes.

"Left ... right .. then he's after my heart's back." Nagato closed his eyes and concentrated fully while breathing. After dodging Heise's attack for a few minutes, Nagato began to let out his golden-coloured aura towards Heise and Mujin.

All the swordsmen who had just seen Nagato's aura color were shocked, they all clenched their teeth. Nagato's figure made them curious about his identity.

"How can he avoid my every attack?" heise said with a gasping breath. The look in his eyes saw Nagato still standing upright and not moving from his place, seeing that it made Heise angry at Nagato.

"Feel this!" Heise threw her spear with all her might towards Nagato. Everyone who saw this third match stared at Nagato who was running towards the spear.

"The Fire."

Nagato released his aura and manipulated it into fire. His hands clenched, in his concentration he slammed a hand towards the spear. The flames blazing in the air formed a hand blow.

All the spectators started cheering in Nagato's favor. Nagato's fist made Heise's spear bounce back.

Seeing the same look on Heise's face as children his age who studied martial arts in search of fame, it certainly made Nagato feel fed up. Nagato processed his breathing while using his inner strength to end the match.

Nagato concentrated his profound energy on his two feet that became the pedestal, as he ran himself it looked like he was disappearing. All the spectators were confused not seeing Nagato's whereabouts.

"Where is he?" Heise turned to the right and left looking for Nagato's whereabouts.

"I'm here." Nagato was ready to unleash his fire-covered punch on Heise. The look on Heise's face was deathly pale, to move around was already very difficult.

Nagato hit Heise's stomach until the young man bounced back, not giving his opponent a chance to recover his strength, Nagato intended to counterattack but Mujin restrained Nagato by touching the young man's shoulder.

"The match-bearer is Fuyumi Nagato." Mujin raised Nagato's hand and ended the match. All the spectators were surprised by Nagato's speed ability to sedate them, even this match made the young crowned swordsman who had begun to silently show their facial expressions.

Heise was still lying on the ground, not how long the medical team lifted Heise using a stretcher and carried her into the health room in the Tiger Circle Arena.

Nagato walked leisurely towards the spectator bench where the Fuyumi Clan was. Then he sat down next to Iris and Shirayuki.

"Walk smoothly, yes, Nagato" Shirayuki told Nagato as she looked at Nagato who showed no interest at all.

"To be honest I could have ended it sooner, but I didn't want to underestimate it, it was just that when I saw his face .. His gaze was so disgusted to me," Nagato replied with a hint of emotion.

"Murids from big colleges, and children who have tasted fame, they will look down on the others" Shirayuki replied as she played her fan.

"Fuyumi Litha, Ryuko! Two names I'm calling, please come forward!" Mujin shouted out loudly while putting on a relaxed expression of his face.

"Litha, fight .. stay focused and don't underestimate your opponent," said Emi calming Litha who looks nervous.

"Yes, grandma." Litha smiled as she took a deep breath and immediately exhaled, Litha wants to calm herself down by doing so.

"Litha don't lose" Nagato told Litha, smiling from behind the white fox mask he was wearing.

"Yes," Litha replied briefly as she returned Nagato's smile sweetly.

Litha walked towards the field, while Ryuko was already waiting for Litha in the field. The applause of the audience was very lively, they were excited to see a beautiful young girl who was no less beautiful than Iris.

On one of the spectator benches, where the warriors of the Kuromachi Clan were watching, Kurose licked her own lips when she saw Litha walking. I don't know what she's thinking, but Kurose looks so in love with Litha just out of lust.

"Fuyumi Litha of the Fuyumi Clan and Ryuko of the Dragon Sword Sakti .. do you two still remember the rules?" Mujin asked Litha and Ryuko who were facing each other.

Litha and Ryuko nodded slowly before they said. "We still remember the rules" said Litha and Ryuko simultaneously.

Ryuko uses a sword as her weapon, carving a dragon clearly visible on her sword. For a moment Ryuko observes Litha who looks like a child who is not from the Kai Empire.

"Your name is Fuyumi Litha, isn't it?" Ryuko asked Litha while smiling sweetly at her opponent.

Litha nodded slowly while returning Ryuko's smile.

"My name is Litha, greetings." Litha extended her hand to Ryuko. Ryuko shook Litha's hand.

"I'm Ryuko, nice to meet you, Litha." Ryuko smiled gently at Litha and shook her opponent's hand.

The audience who saw the two young girls shaking hands immediately cheered, they could not wait for the fight between Litha and Ryuko in the fourth match of this Kai Tiger Tournament.

Mujin looked at Litha and Ryuko who seemed to understand each other's feelings as a woman, then he told the two to take some distance.

"Take some distance, listen to me, okay?" Mujin sees Litha and Ryuko keeping her distance. The two of them nodded slowly while trying to remain calm and dispel their nervousness.

Litha and Ryuko both just entered the Tiger Tournament of Kai. Although Ryuko was a year older, due to her age of thirteen, this was the first time Ryuko had participated in a match between colleges or clans.

"I have to get through to the next round .. Look at me Nagato, Iris, Hika, Tika..." Litha was holding her sword which had an engraving of floral patterns.

"The fourth match of the Kai Tiger Tournament between Fuyumi Litha of the Fuyumi Clan against Ryuko of the Sakti Dragon Sword, begins!" Right after the cue from Mujin started the fourth match of the Tiger Tournament of Kai. The crowd cheers were heard echoing throughout the entire corner of the Tiger Circle Arena.

Litha and Ryuko watch each other, both wary of each other's powers. Ryuko begins her first attack on Litha. Ryuko's yellow-colored sword swung to the right and left to attack Litha.

"Clean." Litha took a deep breath in one breath, then she channeled it to every part of her body except the head.

Litha can fend off the sword slash from Ryuko. The two exchanged slashes for a few seconds before starting to use their respective sword techniques. Litha's different swordplay with the Fuyumi Clan made everyone cluck in awe, Litha's footsteps looked so beautiful and filled with art.

Litha and Ryuko exchanged sword styles that became their respective mainstay techniques. Ryuko began to do some trick moves, her sword slash was very deep and filled.

The clash of swords from Litha and Ryuko echoed in the field of the Tiger Circle Arena. The two continued to launch attacks, clashing slashes for several minutes.

Ryuko slashed her sword from left to right quickly, but Litha was able to hold it. Everyone fell silent and were simply amazed by the match they saw.

"The First Sword Technique of the Dragon Sword Stream Sakti: The Clutches of the Dragon."

Ryuko uses a sword technique that is only taught in the Dragon Sword Sakti. Ryuko's sword slash created a yellow savage beast claw that shot rapidly towards Litha.

"Dance of the Water Fairy."

Litha avenged Ryuko's attack by using the sword technique she created herself, the technique was created thanks to Grandpa Hyogoro's teachings. Litha's steps looked like dancing and looked beautiful, everyone was silent for a few seconds when Litha's footsteps created a water trajectory.

The audience was completely drugged to see Litha who looked like she was dancing, but her dance felt like a killer that amazed her opponent before killing her.

The claws of the yellow-colored beast belonging to Ryuko's sword technique can be fended off by Litha. The clash of both Litha and Ryuko's moves flew upwards and exploded into a yellow aura mixed with blue.

All the spectators who saw the fourth match of the Tiger Tournament grew even more amazed.

"Looky! Litha and Ryuko were great at their young age!"

"The Spirit of Fuyumi Litha!"

"Don't lose Ryuko to the Dragon Sword Sakti!"

The spectators began to lend support to the participants who captivated their hearts with his swordplay.

Ryuko frowned seeing that her sword technique could be fended off by Litha. After adjusting his breath Ryuko gasped for breath using the second technique of the Dragon Sword Sakti.

"Second Sword Technique Dragon Sword Flow Sakti: Golden Tail Crescent."

Ryuko unleashed her aura and inner power simultaneously, then she poured her yellow aura on her sword. After his sword glowed, Ryuko dashed quickly towards Litha while swinging her sword.

Meanwhile Litha processed her breathing and released her aura which turned into a pink color. Slowly Litha manipulated her aura into a sharp solid water coating her sword. Again the greatness of Litha in using her aura and her skill in manipulating her aura made everyone amazed.

Upon seeing Ryuko getting closer to her, Litha also ran towards Ryuko using her gentle footsteps following Nagato's movements. The sudden attack from Litha is unexpected by Ryuko.

"Round Water Needle."

Litha turned her body around, then she slashed her sword at Ryuko. Dozens of solid water-shaped needles attacked Ryuko. Litha's attack did not stop there, her second attack followed as Litha slashed her sword and created a light blue scythe towards Ryuko.

The clash of techniques this time was greater, both Litha and Ryuko were trying to hold their bodies in the wind. Litha's attack that did not give time for Ryuko to retaliate, making Ryuko desperate, in one quick step, Litha managed to put her sword right on Ryuko's neck. Meanwhile, his leg kicks Ryuko's hand holding the sword along with her while pointing her sword at Ryuko. Litha's speed made Ryuko unable to react at all and anticipated the after-fire Litha launched.

The breathing of the two young girls sounded, the two of them stared intently at each other for a few seconds, not how long later Ryuko raised both her hands and gave up.

"I give up, Litha, you're the winner." Ryuko freely raised both hands, no resentment and resentment etched on Ryuko's face nor in Ryuko's heart.

"I have to train harder, see you next year, congratulations Litha you're through to the next round." Ryuko congratulates Litha.

Ryuko's actions make everyone applaud the two young girls who have finished competing. Mujin advanced towards Litha and Ryuko. Then he told the two girls to shake hands with each other.

"Thank you Ryuko. I will fight for you in the next round" Litha said as she shook Ryuko's hand.

"Your technique and speed are like that masked young man. What a great, representative of the Fuyumi Clan this year." Ryuko smiled gently at Litha.

"Thank you..." Litha just smiled back at Ryuko's gentle smile. Not how long he was in. "It's all thanks to Grandpa," Inner Litha recalled Grandpa Hyogoro's merits that were always there for her and Nagato.

Finished shaking hands, Ryuko picked up her sword that had fallen on the ground. Then Mujin announced Litha as the winner.

"The winner of this fourth match is Fuyumi Litha the representative of the Fuyumi Clan!" Mujin shouted at the audience accompanied by the roar of the audience applauding Litha.

Finished, Litha and Ryuko return to their respective places. Litha rejoined the young warrior representative of the other Fuyumi Clan, while Ryuko sat back to watch with the swordsman of the Dragon Sword Sakti.

In the crowd of spectators, Hayabusa laughed softly taking the bet that became her reward.

"19,220 pieces of this gold belong to me. You guys are amazingly supportive of Heise from the Single Blood Bond, hahaha." Hayabusa laughed and pocketed the money she had just earned.

"Where will the Kai Empire go? Is there anyone who can challenge everyone who is here someday, if anything, then I will happily follow him." Hayabusa muttered softly before looking for a food vendor.

Hideaki clucked in annoyance at losing the bet, then he re-assembled with the Ten Elders Kai who were watching with the Hizen Emperor family.
