Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 183 - Mujin's Decree
Everyone was still talking about Nagato who was a handsome young man full of emotions. Many still did not expect Nagato to not hesitate to kill the person who injured one of his friends.
On the spectator bench where the swordsman from the Misuzawa Clan was sitting, Hana had already returned from the middle of the Tiger Circle Arena field.
"Mother Hana. Who's that young man?" Hanabi asked her mother with her flat face.
"Name Nagato. Are you as interested in Nagato as the other girls are?" Hana sees her daughter who has absolutely no interest in romance.
"I want to fight it. He had already fought the Ten Elders Kai twice." Hanabi answered Hana's words while staring at the center of the Tiger Circle Arena field.
On the field of the Tiger Circle Arena were seen warriors from the Iwata Clan using their elemental strength to hoard the perforated lands.
It was not long before Satra stood up and said a new referee. Many were surprised by the new figure.
"Let me change the match referee. Because of my friend's actions, there was almost a commotion, I as the organizing committee of Tiger Tournament Kai apologized profusely." Satra smiled kindly with a guilty face. Ordinary people who watch a lot are amazed but another case with warriors from the eastern stronghold. While Mujin himself can guess Satra will play him.
"The seat of Ten Elders Kai will change with the release of Brother Mujin. My decision is absolute and inviolable!" Satra stared intently at Mujin who was still in the middle of the Tiger Circle Arena field.
Many were surprised by Satra's decision to remove Mujin from the Ten Elders Kai's seat. All the warriors could not refute Satra's words. Considering the swordsmen in the Ezzo Continent were very obedient to the oaths of their ancestors.
Emperor Hizen after becoming the new Emperor Kai decided that his every word was absolute, and that was true for Satra because the powerful man was his best friend and right hand.
Mujin held back his emotions, he realized he would be finished sooner or later. There was no choice for him but to fight and expose Satra's rot. But he tries to stay calm, free if he fights unprepared and is only based on emotions.
"No one dared to fight him. A swordsman in Ezzo if he swore they would not break him." Mujin sat up full of annoyance as he stepped his foot out of the Tiger Circle Arena. Satra's voice again sounded in his ear.
"Brother Mujin tonight meet us at Kai Tiger House! No matter how much you have contributed, every human being must have made a mistake. We will pay tribute to your services!" Mujin grew furious with Satra. Ordinary residents who heard the words of Satra actually worshiped his name, but in contrast to the population who could think clearly about the current condition of the Kai Empire.
Mujin left the Tiger Circle Arena without speaking a word. In front of the exit, he met the figure of a hooded man carrying two swords at his waist.
"Yo, the Devil's Body." Hayabusa smiled at Mujin.
"You..." Mujin was surprised to see Hayabusa. The man before him had almost killed him, while becoming the Demon Emperor's Hunters General, Hayabusa learned the truth about the darkness of the Kai Empire by accident. The man heard firsthand the rottenness of the Ten Elders Kai especially Satra who cooperated with Gore and engaged in human trafficking.
"You must penetrate your sins, Mujin. You have shed thousands of innocent lives just for wanting to wipe out the Kagutsuchi Clan. All my life I'll hunt you down, but right now I need your help." Hayabusa stared intently at Mujin who was sweating coldly.
"The problem is only one. If I manage to kill Hizen and Satra then the problem is over. But the foolish emperor was my teacher's older brother. I can't do it..." Hayabusa was visibly annoyed and complained, "Haah this is how the student keeps his teacher's promise."
"Hayabusa. We cannot stop a battle that will sooner or later happen." Mujin's face was pale.
"The Rakuza Empire, the Demon Worship Sect and there will probably be some underground organizations infiltrating here. We won't be able to stop them. If the warriors of the eastern camp were not bound by the oath of blood decree then they would be allies who could overthrow this dilapidated system!" Mujin seemed to regret his actions when he occupied the Ten Elders Kai seat.
"Do you know where Hawk and Matsuri went?" Hayabusa switched the conversation, it had been several years since she moved alone and now the two wanted to know the whereabouts of her two fellow students.
"Wind General and Sakura General went on a secret mission somewhere. All I know is the whereabouts of the Fire General and the Nobles General who are infiltrating the Kinai Empire in search of information about the Eight Fingers Organization and the Night Spider Organization!" Mujin himself did not know too much about the Kinai Empire because the country was a closed place. The three great powers in the Ezzo Continent right now were the Kai Empire, the Kinai Empire, and the most powerful was the Rakuza Empire which started to colonize like the people from the Western Continent. But the one that came to the attention of the entire people in the Ezzo Continent was the Azbec Magic Kingdom. It could be said that the Azbec Magic Kingdom was the strongest among the three.
Hayabusa was silent for a long time, she realized that the Tiger Tournament Kai would be a great calamity. The battle that Mujin was referring to he already knew, the Rakuza Empire was targeting Hisui and intended to kill Emperor Hizen. But what he was now thinking about was the movements of the Demon Worshiping Sect that were involved in the night of the Kagutsuchi Clan massacre.
"Jujin answered my question honestly!" Hayabusa stared hard at Mujin.
"What Satra has to do with the leader of the Demon Worshipping Sect. I'm looking for information about it, I'm sure Satra and the guy named Gore have a relationship!" Mujin was silent for a moment and he remembered that he had seen Satra tormenting a slave girl along with someone who had a demonic aura.
"I think it's like that too. We can assume that Satra and Gore have a relationship." Mujin's answer did not satisfy Hayabusa.
"Hayabusa our only target is Satra. I'll stab me in the stomach with a sword after breaking the blood oath." Hayabusa laughed at Mujin's words.
"I'm from the Kagutsuchi Clan. Although not from the real Kagutsuchi Family, at least I am part of them. I must avenge the death of my brothers!" Hayabusa added.
"At that time I was only told about the Kagutsuchi Clan going to revolt. The rivers were poisoned even the well of the source of daily life of the Kagutsuchi Clan was given poison that came from outside the Ezzo Continent. Looks like I was wrong to be Satra's fucking friend!" Mujin lamented his regrets.
Hayabusa tries to remain calm, honestly right now she wants to cut off Mujin's body for telling the truth on the night of the massacre.
"Distress Nagato. What do you think of him?" Hayabusa turned the conversation back on. Given this time all he needed was a friend to cooperate with him instead of an enemy that backfired for him.
"Very talented and very terrible of course. I could feel that Fuyumi Nagato would be the fire that burned those old fuckers, of course, myself." Mujin smiled wryly while Hayabusa smiled faintly at Mujin's words.
"Fuyumi is already bound by the oath of blood decree. The Kagutsuchi clan that accepted me has been wiped out, but Mujin you must remember. Kai Empire will return to its rightful hands, Kagutsuchi has not been completely wiped out. What are you planning on doing with Fuyumi Nagato?" Hayabusa and Mujin move. The two of them moved away from the Tiger Circle Arena.
"I don't know about it. Fuyumi Nagato is very similar to Prince Pandu. Do you consider Fuyumi Nagato to be the son of Prince Pandu and grandson of Grand Master Kagutsuchi Sura?!" Mujin glanced at Hayabusa while observing her surroundings. Because he had found out if Satra had any ties to Warlord Nobu and Reptile. It could be that the two people were told to kill themselves by Satra in exchange for the Rakuza Empire to get the body of the Goddess of Fertility who is none other than Hisui.
"Yes, I hope so. He is very different from Master Pandu. The look of hatred and resentment was clearly plastered in Fuyumi Nagato's eyes. The only one who can destroy this dilapidated system is Fuyumi Nagato if that young man is Master Pandu's son..." Hayabusa bit her lower lip before she said, "If that's true then Fuyumi Nagato's real name is Kagutsuchi Nagato."

The atmosphere in the Tiger Circle Arena had been conducive, the audience began to calm down and listen to Satra's words. Watching the Tiger Kai Tournament was not free, the profits made by Satra were huge. The number of seventy thousand spectators had always been fully filled since the beginning of the Tiger Tournament Kai, even now it was over two thousand because of the many spectators standing.
