Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 207 - Fuyumi Litha vs Kitakaze Chiaki

Gyuki was deep in his heart. "It seems like this year's Fuyumi Clan has a talented younger generation. Before I had never seen them send a representative of a young male swordsman. This young swordsman named Fuyumi Nagato caught my attention." The wind blew around the Tiger Circle Arena.

Litha and Chiaki were very surprised to hear the names of the two of them being called. The two girls did not expect that they would fight each other.

On the spectator bench of the Kitakaze Clan, Yuri and Kenji were not greeting. Kenji's body was wrapped in bandages, the young man sat beside Renji and Ninjin.

"Sister .. pity Brother Kenji rejected Brother Yuri..." Chaika whispered softly in Chaika's ear.

"Huss .. Don't talk too hard." Chiaki beckoned Chaika with her index finger which she had placed on her lips to keep the twin sister still.

Yuri looks worried, the girl sometimes glances at Kenji and sometimes turns her eyes to look the other way.

"Look, even Brother Yuri forgot to not give words of encouragement to big brother as usual." Chiaki said softly to Chaika. Then the sweet twin girl smiled faintly. "My spirit. Today you will fight Litha." Chiaki said to herself.

Chaika laughed softly at the behavior of her twin sister, not forgetting that she also gave spirit to Chiaki.

"Spirited brother..." Chaika clenched her hand at Chiaki.

On the spectator bench of the Fuyumi Clan, Litha was gathering her confidence against Chiaki.

"You two promised to meet again after becoming a swordsman. And now you two meet. Don't lose, Litha." Nagato glanced at Litha. It was not long for the girl with my eyes to sit next to him after Litha stood up.

"Son Litha's spirit! Hisui will support Brother Litha!" Hisui seemed to have fused with the swordsman from the Fuyumi Clan.

"Hiss! Why do you look so adorable!" Iris pinched Hisui's cheeks gently, while her eyes closed looking annoyed.

"Sister Iris also looks very pretty and adorable when close to Brother Handsome..." Hisui blushed in shame and misbehavior thinking Iris praised him.

Hika and Tika shook their heads both.

"Ang, Tika. Why is Hisui sitting with us?" Hika looked at Tika with her two plain eyeballs.

"Hika, take a good look. Hisui likes Nagato. So Hisui sat with us to get closer to Nagato." Tika gave an explanation with both her hands crossed on her chest. Iris stared intently at Tika who seemed annoying.

"Basic Tika. Don't listen to your twin sister, Hika." Iris looked at Tika who was laughing giggling.

"You're all too funny when you're with Nagato." Tika replied to Iris while covering her laughing mouth giggling with her palm.

Iris did not reply to Tika's words anymore, now the beautiful girl chose to encourage Litha.

"Chiaki is your friend and is now your opponent. I'm not very familiar with Chiaki, so I'll support you Litha." Litha's soft laughter sounded. Iris was also embarrassed for not being good at saying words.

"I will show the results of my training to that energetic Chiaki." Litha walked away from Iris and the others. The cute girl approached Emi and Shirayuki.

"Emi's grandmother, Aunt Shirayuki, please pray for her" Litha sincerely told Emi and Shirayuki.

"Yes, take it easy, Grandma Emi will always pray the best for all of you." Emi smiled gently at Litha.

"Here's auntie's kiss first." Shirayuki gestured for Litha to come closer. Shamefully Litha brought her face closer to Shirayuki's. A warm peck stuck to Litha's forehead from Shirayuki's thin lips and it made Litha's face flushed red.

After that Litha walked away from the spectator bench occupied by the Fuyumi Clan. Litha's heart felt happy because after all she had not felt the affection of parents for a long time.

Shirayuki's concern for him makes Litha feel like she feels a mother's affection.

Arriving in the middle of the Arena Circle field, Chiaki looks also just arrived there just like him. Litha's heart skipped a beat not because she was in love, but because she was going to fight Chiaki. To calm herself down, Litha took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Chiaki, I didn't think we'd be opponents in the last 32." Litha smiled gently looking at Chiaki.

"I didn't expect it myself, Litha." Chiaki returned Litha's smile. The sweet twin girl held her shawl. "As per our promise, I have fought as much as I can as well as Chaika. I won't lose to you, Litha!"

"I won't lose to you either, Chiaki!" Litha replied to Chaiki fiercely.

Gyuki coughed softly seeing that the two participants in front of her already knew each other. "Uhuk! You two take your distance. Since the two of you seem to have no objection to the outcome decision of your match opponents, it's better that we start this ninth game."

Litha and Chaiki laughed softly as they both ignored Gyuki. As directed by Gyuki, the two girls now take their distance and wait for Gyuki to start the match.

"The sword against the shawl. Interesting, interesting." Gyuki said softly. He slowly took a deep breath and held it for eight seconds before exhaling it.

"The ninth match of the round of 32 of the Big Kai Tiger Tournament was between Fuyumi Litha of the Fuyumi Clan against Kitakaze Chiaki of the Kitakaze Clan..." Gyuki held back her loud-sounding words. "Start!"

The audience started to rumble back, Litha and Chiaki instantly started their opening attack right after Gyuki started the match cue.

Chiaki ran using wind steps to get close to Litha. Her chest bulging, the twin sweet girl launched her first attack on Litha.

"The Wind is Invisible to the Eye."

Chiaki exhaled that sharp light green colored air towards Litha. Chiaki's footsteps stopped and retreated back to back. His hand held his shawl.

Chiaki's eyes stared intently at Litha who was holding her sword. Chiaki is most aware of how he develops himself, his ability is to make the enemy enter into the attack range of his shawl.

Litha slashed her sword and cut off the sharp wind, splashing water soaked Litha's face as her sword was covered in water as it cut through the light green wind gusts that Chiaki was rushing through.

"Sirih Breathing." Litha let out a long breath and channeled it all over her body.

Litha moved with her gentle footsteps, her movements slowing down as she felt Chiaki waiting for her to enter the reach area of the light green wind shawl that was lining Chiaki's body.

"Water Needle Play!"

Litha shouted the name of her sword technique inwardly and attacked from outside the attack range of Chiaki's shawl. Litha's body twists, her sword slash creating a water trajectory that unleashed hundreds of dense water needles that shot rapidly towards Chiaki.

Litha's attack can be countered by Chiaki using his wind shawl, the defense of a light green wind shawl protecting Chiaki's body from Litha's attack.

"Silk Green Young Tranquility!"

Chiaki smiled faintly when she saw the hundreds of water needles that Litha had preserved. "Litha's attack was terrifying. I can't imagine what my body would be like if it were hit by that water needle..." Chiaki said softly.

Litha smiled faintly seeing her attack countered by Chiaki. He realized that the light green scarf that Chiaki had become a weapon was not an indiscriminate scarf.

Litha moved back and took the initiative to enter the area of Chiaki's shawl attack. Right after Litha entered the range of Chiaki's shawl attack, her body was subjected to a light green shawl that was about to wrap around her body.

"Soul Cooling Water Tranquility."

Litha moved quickly slashing her sword towards Chiaki but suddenly Litha slowed down the tempo of her footsteps. Litha's sword slash created a wave of water that flowed quietly in the air.

Chiaki rotated her shawl to resist Litha's attack. "The North Wind!" Waves of water hit Chiaki's light green shawl.

Chiaki pulled out her shawl and created a whirlwind that made the water waves from the Litha sword technique point upwards.

"Wind Whirl." Chiaki now pulled back her shawl and tried to stay calm looking at Litha.

The water waves turned into raindrops in the middle of the field of the Tiger Circle Arena. Chiaki looked for a moment at the water coming down from above, then her eyes looked back at Litha.

"Hmm ... My attack was again countered by his shawl." Litha muttered in disappointment but she did not expect Chiaki to be able to withstand the new attack from her sword technique.

Litha slashed her sword from afar to bully Chiaki. Litha's slash was again pushed aside by Chiaki's light green scarf.

Litha and Chiaki circled around each other before unleashing their attacks back, Chiaki threw a light green scarf towards Litha.

"Bindwinding Wind!"

Chiaki's light green shawl shot rapidly towards Litha and circled Litha's body. The wind blew around Litha with a firmer as Chiaki's scarf whirled faster.

"What is this Nagato feeling when he is doing his full concentration?" Litha was deep in his heart. The sweet girl knew very well of herself and Nagato who had a lot in common.

"Maybe I'll apologize to Nagato for not telling me my true past..." Litha smiled faintly and said softly to herself.

"Water Whirl!"

Litha whirled her body while swinging her sword created a whirlpool that dragged the shawl along with the wind that blew fiercely.

Chiaki smiled faintly as her attack was brushed aside by Litha. Now the sweet twin girl whirled her shawl creating a whirlwind.

Litha retreated quickly backwards after seeing the gap to come out from the impact of the whirlpool and wind vortex attacks.

The dust started to cover the middle area of the field when the whirlpool of Litha sword technique clashed with the vortex of Chiaki shawl technique.

Litha looked for a gap to get close to Chiaki. The dust blocking his visibility was also the reason why Litha was more waiting for the impact of the whirlpool and the whirlwind to disappear.

Chiaki again launched her attack from afar, the sweet twin girl running towards Litha. Now Chiaki is trying something new to use the strongest technique he has created and learned over the past few years from the Wind Scarf.

Litha raised her eyebrows looking at Chiaki who was approaching her, the sweet girl thought that Chiaki was about to make an unexpected attack on her.

"Heavenly Rainbow Breathing: The Blue Shape."

Litha took a deep breath and channeled it throughout her body. The sweet twin girl clasped her sword tightly, her sharp eyes watching Chiaki's footsteps move.

Chiaki released a large amount of his body aura, then flowed through the Wind Scarf with deep energy. His hand held the Wind Scarf very tightly after which he played his shawl before attacking Litha.

Chiaki stopped running and threw her shawl towards Litha at high speed and with all her might.

"Silk Smooth Winding Can."

Chiaki's Wind Scarf is seen chasing Litha's body like a snake chasing its prey. Each Ancient Weapon had its own advantages and disadvantages. It is a common thing in this world. Great power also carries great risk.

Litha widened her eyes as she had not expected Chiaki's attack to be like this. The light green-colored scarf looked like a snake moving through the air and was about to wrapped around his body, Litha slashed her sword towards Chiaki's shawl from a distance.

"So Chiaki has been pouring energy in to her shawl..." Litha was deep in her heart after seeing her water slash had no effect in the least on Chiaki's scarf.

Litha stepped in a gentle and resplendent step, the sweet girl received Chiaki's attack with her swordplay. Seen in the air there were splashes of flowing water forming a curved and undulating path following every step of Litha's foot and slash.

His sword swing continued to clash with Chiaki's scarf which became hard. Each Chiaki shawl collided with Litha's sword slash then a gust of wind occurred.

"Dance of the Water Fairy."

Litha swordplay wowed the audience who saw it, her swordplay looked very beautiful filled with art. The sweet girl looked extremely graceful as she continued to swing her sword.

Chiaki realizes his attack this time will be decisive, so she intends to keep Litha in a position of constant defense until the sweet girl who became her opponent runs out of energy.

Litha did not see the slightest gap for her to get out of the situation that was unfavorable to her. Litha's breath was a little hunting, but the sweet girl continued to cultivate her breathing so as not to be too breathless.

"Waves of Water Move the Soul."

The round of Chiaki scarf that was almost wrapped around Litha's body instantly widened when it was hit by Litha's sword slash. A water-covered sword slash forming a wave of water flowing through the air could dispel the twists of Chiaki's light green scarf.

Litha repeatedly twisted her body and slashed her sword stronger than the previous slash, slowly she could see the gap as every clash between her sword slash and Chiaki's shawl occurred a huge difference this time.

Now Chiaki's scarf looks weaker. Litha's sword slash which was now capable of making Chiaki's shawl bounce off, in contrast to the previous one where Chiaki's shawl was so strong that it held Litha's sword slash, now Chiaki's shawl did not harden completely like before.

Litha used this opportunity to approach Chiaki. His footsteps moved quickly, the attacks from Chiaki's shawl still continued to try to wrap around his body, but it was not a barrier for Litha.

"Flowing Like Water."

The movement of Litha's footsteps was very gentle, the sweet girl swung her sword with certainty. Each of his slashes was able to make Chiaki's scarf move away from her, and now Litha was getting closer to Chiaki.

A sword technique belonging to Grandpa Hyogoro was now being used by Litha. His sword slash strike formed a stream of water, with his footsteps continuously flowing and difficult to digest, Litha managed to land the slash towards Chiaki.

Chiaki's body retreated a few steps back, the Wind Scarf protected her body until she was not too badly injured.

Litha again swung her sword quickly towards Chiaki. The course of the fight changed after the aura of Chiaki's body was weaker than Litha's.

The successive attacks from Litha were difficult for Chiaki to fend off. Litha's movements suddenly slowed down, Litha twisted her body quickly while swinging her sword.

"A Whirlpool."

Chiaki was unable to dodge any longer, the twin sweet girl was trying to spin her shawl, but her whirlwind was smaller than Litha's whirlpool.

"Aura ... my body ... absolutely .. has been drained..." Litha with a breath of breath trying to remain standing stared at Chiaki.

His whirlpool sword technique attack dragged Chiaki's body. The body of his friend and opponent was dragged upwards, after his whirlpool disappeared, Chiaki's body crashed onto the ground.

Chiaki clenched her teeth as her body aura and inner power could no longer help her twist her shawl. But when his body almost touched the ground, his Wind Scarf wrapped around his body. Chiaki fell down without hitting the ground, his body hovering an inch off the ground before actually touching the ground.

All the spectators were silent for a few seconds, they had all just seen a fierce match. And Chiaki's defeat is also said to be enough to make them amazed.

Gyuki raised her hand and announced Litha as her archer.

"The ninth match winner of the last 32 of the Tiger Tournament Kai is Fuyumi Litha!" The applause from the audience echoed. Seen in the field Litha was walking towards Chiaki.

"Congratulations ... Lithas..." Chiaki was crying. His hands closed both eyes.

"I ... lose..." Chiaki smiled but her tears kept dripping. "Why defeat feels like this..." Chiaki laughed softly but instead her cries sounded almost broken.

Litha held Chiaki's hand and took the friend to the audience bench. All the audience gave their appreciation to Litha and Chiaki.

"Your attack almost hurt me, you son of a bitch..." Chaiki laughed softly while looking at Litha with puffy eyes.

"You too, the shawl is exactly like a snake. Scaring me," Litha replied with a soft laugh.

Litha and Chiaki laughed loosely after reaching the audience stands, after which Chiaki hugged Litha's body. "Good Litha."

"Chiaki is a carefree child, as is Chaika..." Litha laughed softly at Chiaki who took off her embrace.

"Litha, tonight would you like not to walk around the city with me?" Chiaki smiled at Litha while taking a few steps back.

Litha thought for a moment before accepting Chiaki's invitation. "Who's same? Just the two of us?"

"I'm taking Brother Yuri with Chiaka. If you take them..." Chiaki pointed at Iris and the others. Litha nodded slowly.

"Well, I'll take them." Litha smiled at Chiaki and waved her hand. Chiaki returned Litha's hand and returned to the spectator bench occupied by the swordsman from the Kitakaze Clan.
