Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 165 - I want to fight you, Nagato!

Nagato glanced at Hisui who was very eye-catching to everyone sitting close to him, all the sharp gazes from the young male swordsman bothered Nagato.

"Sweety bastard!" Nagato stared intently at Hisui from behind his white fox mask.

"A-What a sister" Hisui bit his own tongue, his nervousness controlling him. His face was red, his eyes were glaring at Nagato meaningfully.

"I don't want to attract attention, everyone looks at me hatefully. And you're the cause." Nagato touched Hisui's forehead and pushed slowly.

Hisui clenched his teeth, the young man who was telling him to leave always behaved naturally to him. Of course Hisui really liked it, for Hisui the figure of Nagato was the young man who made him challenged to approach him.

"It's rude! I am the princess of Hisui! You are the first person who is disrespectful towards me!" Hisui hit Nagato even though his punch was not felt at all for Nagato.

"I don't care, after all you are younger than me, a spoiled brat," Nagato said with a cynical smile before continuing his words, "In my eyes you are just a spoiled brat looking for attention from me, isn't that what I said?" Hisui fell silent and turned his face to the side.

Hisui shuddered at Iris and Litha who were staring at him very sharply, Hisui reflexively hugged Nagato because of his fear of seeing Iris' cold gaze.

"Snick-looking brother! My cousin's sister is so scary!" Hisui held Nagato's hand and leaned against the young man's chest.

"Cousin brother? You mean Iris?" Nagato remained indifferent and pushed Hisui's body slowly, just that the grip of Hisui's hand was holding his hand very tightly.

"This spoiled boy!" Nagato sat up and clucked resentfully at Hisui's attitude.

Iris who saw Nagato being with Hisui immediately turned her face away unconcerned, while Litha laughed softly because she considered Nagato and Hisui like sisters.

Shirayuki smiled faintly at Nagato who was not being polite to Hisui. Hisui was even more pleased when Nagato treated himself disrespectfully.

"When are you like that?" Nagato lazily looked at Hisui who was still hugging his hand.

"Until the preliminary round is over," Hisui replied lightly as he blinked his eyes.

"You!" Nagato was getting annoyed at Hisui's behavior.

"Handsome sister ..between me, Brother Iris and sweet sister named Litha..." Hisui's voice was stifled, he gathered his courage to ask Nagato's feelings. "Among the three of us, who does a handsome brother choose?" Nagato no longer looked at Hisui.

"May I ask you?" Hisui nodded slowly when Nagato asked him.

"Did you like me just because of the outside of me?" Hisui fell silent and released his embrace on Nagato's hand.

"Hisui likes a handsome older brother who treats Hisui like a normal child. For Hisui, a handsome older brother is a strong-looking young man, but sometimes Hisui sees a handsome older brother looking very fragile." Hisui looked at Nagato meaningfully. His words were heard by Iris, Litha and Shirayuki. Meanwhile Emi laughed amusedly at the behavior of her own grandson.

"Hisui wants to help handsome older brother and wants to feel the feeling of handsome older brother..." Hisui shyly lowered his head. Her hand played her hair while her teeth biting her lower lip held back the embarrassment.

"Sister Iris looked at me from behind..." Hisui was impassive as he felt Iris looking at him very coldly from behind.

"Hiss?" Nagato leaned back and laughed softly before his words left Hisui speechless.

"Yes..." Hisui answered Nagato's words timidly.

"So you said you wanted to help me and feel my true feelings, didn't you?" Nagato's voice sounded so cold. His tone rose, the entire Fuyumi Clan swordsman glanced at Nagato who looked very serious talking to Hisui.

"Y-yes..." Hisui's lips trembled when he felt the gripping aura of Nagato.

"In that case, I want you to kill all your families and all the warriors in the western stronghold. After that you will understand my true feelings!" Hisui fell silent and goosebumps his body, wanting it to feel like he slapped Nagato but his body was unable to move.

"Your feelings for me are just an illusion. You will never know how I feel at all! Do you know why?" Nagato looked so cold, Hisui stiffened his body from not expecting the figure of the young man he first loved to be so terrifying to him. Hisui just shook his head to the right and left slowly to answer Nagato's words.

"Because you never feel loss." Nagato ended the conversation and stood up. It was not long before he went to a bathroom room in the Tiger Circle Arena to calm himself down.

"You better stay away from me. A woman as good as you doesn't deserve to fall in love with a vengeful person like me." Nagato sat down and glanced at Hisui who was shedding his tears. The girl with my eyes was hugged by Shirayuki.

"here. Already, don't cry" said Shirayuki to calm Hisui who was sobbing.

Iris and Litha trembled at Nagato's words. The two young girls felt Nagato's words were very precise.

Litha realized that she was in love with Nagato because the young man was the same as him, having the same fate and pain. Nagato and Litha had both lost everything, in contrast to Nagato who was hiding his feelings of resentment, instead Litha wanted to continue living in the hope that there would be a peace in the Ezzo Continent so that no one would feel the same pain as her.

When doing missions with Grandpa Hyogoro to somewhere, Nagato always protected Litha because the young man did not want Litha's clean hands dirty for killing people. Nagato was willing to dirty his hands to protect the kindness of the beautiful girl.

Iris wants to know Nagato's past. He wanted to ask Litha but he always did not find the right time to ask.

"Actually what happens until the Dragon says so..." Iris pondered over Nagato's words.

Meanwhile Emi felt a bad feeling from Nagato's words.

"Why is it like this .. From the beginning I felt Nagato was not an ordinary young man, but he was hiding something big," Emi's inner tightened her teeth while glancing at Shirayuki who was calming Hisui.

The young swordsman who saw Nagato went alone towards the bathroom swiftly intended to gang up on him. Nagato's mood was somehow very bad, seeing people happy and laughing made Nagato like an exiled person.

"Damn! What the hell is going on? Why is my mood so bad? Didn't I look forward to this competition?" Nagato was deep and the many questions in his clumped head made him uneasy.

"After all I have to win for Brother Hyo. The prize of this competition will help the people in the Me region. Grandpa Hyo always sets aside her money for people who can't afford it." Again Nagato sat up to remember Grandpa Hyogoro's actions but his feelings were deeply broken this time around. He himself did not know yet, which Nagato knew he wanted to immediately complete the Tiger Tournament of Kai in order to meet Grandpa Hyogoro.

The sound of footsteps of dozens of approaching young warriors made Nagato wash his face, after which he put on his white fox mask again. But as he was about to leave the bathroom, one of the young warriors intercepted Nagato.

"Hey, ugly, you seem too arrogant because of the many girls that surround you." One of the young swordsmen smiled cynically looking at Nagato. From his robe they are seen to be from the Kuromachi Clan.

"We better teach this damn mask a lesson!" The young man who was a young swordsman from the Muromachi Clan invited the others to gang up on Nagato.

Without warning, attacks from various directions targeted Nagato's face. Nagato's mood worsened, one of the young warriors from the Muromachi Clan was strangled by Nagato by the neck. After that he made the young man's body as a living shield to receive the blows of his friends.

"This child! How dare he!" One of the young warriors kept a distance with Nagato.

"How dare you touch my friend!" The young swordsman from the Muromachi Clan glanced at his eyes, his hands about to hit Nagato.

"Friends? Don't make me laugh!" Nagato threw the body of the young man he was giggling and stared intently at all the young men who were surrounding.

"For those who want to escape, I warn them to leave right now. This time I won't hesitate" Nagato said sarcastically.

"Do you intend to bully-" a punch hit the face of the young man who mocked Nagato. The other young swordsmen kept their distance with Nagato but in an instant they were all sprawled on the floor.

"Don't bother me, my mood is very bad. Once again you're looking for trouble with me, I won't hesitate to take your lives!" Nagato's voice was like a god of death that reminded them of death.

Nagato walked out of the bathroom room, then his eyes glanced at Ninjin who was standing in the field of the Tiger Circle Arena.

"Damn! I couldn't bear to kill me, "Nagato's inner self when he felt something in him began to rise after falling asleep for a considerable period of time.

It was not long before the sound of the clash of swords between Ninjin and Koji made Nagato slightly calm.

"I want to be alone" inner Nagato leaned against the wall and saw the match between Ninjin and Koji.

Beneath the Tiger Circle Arena was a fierce fight. Ninjin swung his sword many times after Koji.

The match was balanced, Koji was able to fend off all of Ninjin's sword slashes. After a few seconds after the two exchanged attacks, Ninjin stepped slowly while doing the pair art movement.

Ninjin moved naturally and casually, his hand playing his sword while staring intently at Koji who was doing the same thing as him. Ninjin's eyes narrowed when he saw the air around Koji change.

A purple-colored aura wrapped around Koji's body. Koji's movements were very slow, but Ninjin could feel Koji was gathering his inner strength on both legs.

"Use the wind steps to keep up with his speed..," Inner Ninjin while continuing to observe Koji's movements very carefully.

Koji smiled faintly before dashing quickly to give Ninjin a back-to-back attack. The swift swing of his sword made Ninjin desperate, coupled with his two feet that could step quickly put Koji in the upper hand.

Koji again darted forward towards Ninjin and his swift swing of his sword made the audience rumble. Many times Koji made a feint slash, his sword swinging from left to right, but sometimes Koji did his trick slash so gently, that Ninjin received incision wounds all over his body.

Ninjin's position grew increasingly unfavorable as the two exchanged attacks for quite a long time, Koji's slash was profound and accurate. Ninjin processed his breathing and released his body aura to counterattack Koji.

Ninjin jumped backwards taking some distance from Koji. Ninjin's actions made the audience habitually censure him, but when the brown-colored aura exuded from Ninjin's body all fell silent.

Ninjin sheathed his sword to store his strength, Ninjin's actions certainly made Koji very angry. Deliberately provoking his opponent's emotions, Ninjin wanted to unleash the attacks he had learned in the Kitakaze Clan.

Ninjin's chest puffed up right after Koji got close, his mouth opening out issuing dozens of densely spherical small winds.

"The Wind is Invisible to the Eye."

Koji's eyes widened because Ninjin did a sharp attack, the worse he just realized Ninjin who deliberately provoked his emotions.

"First Protective Technique: Purple Shield."

The purple aura of Koji's body formed a shield, the clash between Koji's protective aura and Ninjin's dense wind made the field of the Tiger Circle Arena dusty. A few minutes later, Koji's body lying on the ground attracted attention.

"Why are the warriors of the Muromachi Clan sprawled?"

"Look, the swordsman from the Kitakaze Clan still stands the same as before."

The astonishment of the audience began to be missed because Koji was unable to withstand the invisible wind gusts of Ninjin.

"I'm off guard!" Koji cursed to himself while trying to stand up straight again.

Koji held his sword as a foothold for a while, while adjusting his breathless breathing, Koji released his bodily aura to intimidate Ninjin.

Seeing this, Ninjin did the same with Koji. The clash of brown and purple aura was clearly visible in the air. The clash of the two auras was thrown backwards simultaneously.

Mujin smiled faintly looking at the two young warriors who were fighting fiercely. Both Ninjin and Koji recovered their strength, not long after the two of them returned to slashing their swords at each other.

"I can't lose here. There's something I want." Ninjin clenched his teeth holding back Koji's sword slash.

Ninjin channeled his aura on his sword blade, as well as Koji. Both of their swords gave off light, the clash of the two clashing swords reverberated. Ninjin retreated backwards a few steps, his hand instantly slashing his sword from afar. A wind scythe from Ninjin's sword slash shot rapidly towards Koji.

For the sake of replying to Ninjin's rapid attack darting towards him, Koji coated his sword blade with aura, then he slashed his sword from afar.

The clash of the wind and the purple aura made the wind blow around the two of them. Dust began to spread rapidly covering the field of the Tiger Circle Arena again.

Ninjin did not let it go, deftly he slashed his sword while twisting his body creating a whirlwind. The dust flew upwards, just after it reached the top only then did the dust spread like an explosion.

The audience was amazed to see this, they all stared at Ninjin who was running quickly towards Koji.

"Wind Gusts In Incision."

Ninjin moved quickly to end the match, having been close to Koji in one of his definite moves, Ninjin managed to injure Koji right in his chest.

"Aragh!" Koji grimaced in pain as he felt an incision in his chest even though it was not bleeding at all. Koji's body slowly collapses, not expecting himself to run out of energy first.

Right after Koji fell, Mujin raised his hand and pointed at Ninjin as the winner.

"Uhuk .. because Koji has fallen. The winner was Ninjin of the Kitakaze Clan." Mujin looked at Ninjin who sheathed his sword slowly.

The audience cheered happily at the technique Ninjin used. After successfully winning the match, Ninjin saw Nagato leaning against the wall. Then he approached the young man wearing the white fox mask.

"You've grown strong, Ninjin." Nagato's cold voice made Ninjin look at Nagato who looked strange in his eyes. The change in Nagato's aura made Ninjin slightly shudder.

"What are you doing here, Nagato?" Ninjin threw a question at Nagato.

"Waiting for a turn" answered Nagato briefly.

"I can't wait to fight again, because I want to fight you, Nagato!" Ninjin seriously challenged Nagato.

"Until you meet at a game, don't lose before we both meet." Nagato patted Ninjin's shoulder before walking away leaving her.

"I can feel an overwhelming bloodlust," Ninjin murmured at Nagato's back which moved away from his eyes.
