Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 210 - Kuromachi Kurose vs Satha
Nagato smiled faintly looking at Iris who was sitting next to him. "You're me" Iris pinched Nagato's arm before the young man finished speaking. Nagato's face was shocked and stared at Iris.
"Why did you pinch me?!" Nagato's hand pinched gently on Iris' cheek. Many people saw the closeness of Nagato and Iris. They just kept quiet and watched.
Litha and Hisui laughed softly at Nagato who was arguing with Iris.
"Dragon, you must want to mock me!" Iris brushed Nagato's hand and puffed her cheek.
"Well?!" Nagato raised his eyebrows and did not understand the meaning of Iris' words. "I just want to say, you're great. Why do you always think wrong of me!" Nagato turned his face and turned his gaze towards the middle of the field.
Iris blushed her face. "I thought the Dragon would say you were a pervert..." The beautiful girl turned softly in her heart. Iris was ashamed not to be a bitch, she thought Nagato would say himself as a pervert.
Nagato glanced at Iris' reddened face. The young man could tell the change in Iris's face that he was so fond of. "Iris, you don't act like a spoiled brat." Nagato's hand held Iris' fine hair. But the beautiful girl now became annoyed that Nagato was comparing himself to Hisui. Slowly Iris took a deep breath and hit Nagato's stomach.
"Dragon!" Iris inwardly called out Nagato's name when hitting the young man's stomach. Then the beautiful girl immediately withdrew her hand very quickly.
Nagato clenched his teeth. Now Nagato was feeling Iris's extremely cold hand blow on his stomach. "Why? I just wanted to praise him? Why did Iris hit me?" Nagato was confused.
Not how long their two eyeballs met, Nagato and Iris stared at each other for a few seconds before they both turned their eyes towards the center of the field of the Tiger Circle Arena.
Along with Nagato and Iris who were chatting, Gyuki called both the names of the next participants. Satha and Kuromachi Kurose are the two names that Gyuki calls.
"Let's move on to the next game. Satha and Kuromachi Kurose. Two names I'm calling please come forward!" Gyuki scratched her non-itchy head while calling out the two names of the participants who were going to compete in the twelfth round of the 32nd round of the Kai Tiger Tournament. It didn't take long for Satha and Kurose to get to the middle of the field.
Satha stared intently at Kurose and smiled faintly. "Please get his guidance, senior." Although it sounds polite, but Satha's tone seemed to mock Kurose.
"The beginning of this year is insolent of all! My opponent is the son of Elder Satra. Let's see if he's as good as his dad." Kurose nodded and returned Satha's smile.
Gyuki looked at the two participants who seemed to have no objection to the decision of the outcome of the match. "All right, you two take some distance. We start the game." Gyuki beckoned Satha and Kurose to keep her distance.
Upon seeing Satha and Kurose standing at a predetermined distance, Gyuki took a deep breath and held her back. "With this the twelfth match of the round of 32 of the Tiger Tournament Kai between Satha and Kurose..." Gyuki held back her words before continuing." It's starting!"
With Gyuki slowly exhaling, her eyes closed quietly along with the noisy and boisterous sounds of the audience echoing in her ears. Gyuki's mouth opened slowly. "Breathing the Cakra." He locked the air all over his body.
Gyuki clenched her teeth and held her mouth that was about to spit out blood. "This poison remains in my body .. That smoke!" Gyuki sat up while holding her chest. His eyes opened slowly and looked at the two participants. His face still looks fine even though his entire body feels tremendous pain.
Gyuki looked at Kurose who had already drawn his sword and flicked it to start the opening attack. The young man from the Kuromachi Clan attacked Satha with his quick and deadly swordplay.
Satha also fended off Kurose's sword slash using her sword, her eyes looking extremely calm in observing Kurose's hand movements. The sound of sword clashing filled the middle of the Tiger Circle Arena square.
Satha and Kurose exchanged attacks for five minutes, Kurose's swordplay dominated the attack, while Satha's swordplay had a fairly tough defense. Both have very similar swordplay and both have a clear goal, which is to win.
Of course they both want a win. Satha smiled faintly as Kurose's sword slash grew faster. The young man started to give off his red-colored body aura to intimidate Kurose.
A red colored body aura was visible in the air, Satha smiled faintly as her body aura was around Kurose's body. "Burn!" Kurose's body burned as Satha manipulated her body's aura into fire.
Kurose's face panicked for a moment, but quickly the young man dropped himself to the ground and rolled over. The flames that were burning his body disappeared, Kurose quickly rose to his feet and stared intently at Satha.
"This fire reminds me of that brash young man!" Kurose was full of annoyance. The young man compared Nagato to Satha.
"Black Sword!" Kurose flowed his sword blade with his pitch-black body aura. Now Kurose's sword blade was pitch-black.
Kurose approached Satha slowly before the two engaged in a counterattack. Kurose's sword slash was now able to make Satha's calm countenance change.
"Found the Land of Darkness!" Kurose's sword swing created a sword slash capable of making the hollow ground turn black.
"So this is your innate element, senior?" Satha raised her eyebrows. "You're from the Kuromachi Clan who is identical to the land element. But I have the fire element that I am born with." Satha coated her sword blade with her red-colored body aura and slashed it rapidly towards Kurose.
"My strength is greater than yours! And I still have other powers!" Satha smiled widely and looked cynical in looking at Kurose.
Kurose guesses that Satha is interested in Hisui, while Hiragi is interested in Iris. A wide smile grinned on Kurose's face as he wanted to manipulate Satha's anger.
"I think a very genius rookie is Nagato." Kurose looked at Satha's changed face. His words were very apt because Satha did not seem to like Nagato.
"His face is handsome." Satha was forced to say this in order to provoke Satha's emotions. "Nagato was surrounded by many beautiful girls. It's amazing, isn't it? From Fuyumi Iris, Fuyumi Litha, Misuzawa Hanabi to even Princess Hisui. The four of them seemed to like Fuyumi Nagato!" Satha's sword slash hit Kurose's chest right after the young man finished his words.
Kurose's face was shocked. He could see the change in Satha's attitude which was very drastic. "Damn it! Shit!" Kurose cursed when he saw his chest hit by the incision.
Kurose did not realize Satha's slash hit his chest. Given the attack, he dominated more than his opponent.
Before long they again exchanged attacks, quickly Kurose repelled the attack launched by Satha back. His eyes looked at Satha's eyes filled with anger.
"You should know! Hisui is a woman who will make me stronger. He'll be my toy!" Kurose's heart stopped for a moment. The young man felt something was wrong here.
"For me women are just stuff. I have a lot of girls who are slaves in my house. They cried and begged every time I tortured him!" Satha laughed and slashed her sword even faster. Kurose glanced at Gyuki who was seen not hearing the words of the two of them.
"What is he talking about?!" Kurose was in disbelief. If what Satha said was true then everything she has done lately has come to nothing. "Did Chairman Nezusaki also know this? That time Brother Shin once mentioned this slavery?" Kurose fended off every slash of Satha while trying to keep thinking calmly.
"Round of Fire Whips!" Satha did not care about Kurose who looked surprised by his words, the young man launched his sword slash attack which formed a flame trajectory like a whip. And the trajectory of the whip was covered in flames burning in the air.
Kurose fended off Satha's sword slash but the slash still hit her body. "Sister Shin, Take and Ohta disappeared. Recently Kujo has also disappeared. Chief Nezusaki, what exactly have you done while serving as the leader of the Kuromachi Clan?!" Kurose's chest was slightly hit by Satha's sword slash.
"Death, the ignorant commoners!" Satha laughed sinisterly about to smash her sword into Kurose's bloody chest.
However, Satha's hand is held by Gyuki. "Enterrifying. Enough already!" Gyuki's hand squeezed Satha's hand until the young man screamed in pain.
Kurose's body collapsed on the ground. His eyes looked at the sky. "I want to make the Kuromachi Clan the strongest clan in the Kai Empire. But I think the Kuromachi Clan has been under the wrong lead for decades." Inner Kurose raged. Now he feels desperate. His ambition to become stronger and win the Tiger Tournament Kai vanished, evaporating and disappearing in an instant.
Kurose had heard that there was a human trafficking done by the Ten Elders Kai. The conversation was once alluded to by Shin in front of Nezusaki, who was, but the leader of the Kuromachi Clan denied and said that the figure of people named Hyogoro and Hayabusa who became the mastermind of the killing of nobles and considered the two names involved in human trafficking.
"Hey, you brash! Are you serious about having slaves in your house?!" Kurose shouted looking at Satha and stood up.
Gyuki frowned. "Slave? Wait, the two of them looked like they were talking in the middle of a fight. Is this what they're talking about?" Gyuki. His eyes turned to look at Satha's sinister eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Satha had an innocent face. Then the young man looked at Gyuki. "Uncle Gyuki, let go of my hand. This match is not over yet uncle, let me unleash a finishing attack to end this match!" Satha bravely bullied Gyuki.
"Oi, kid. Your mouth is exactly the same as your father's mouth." Gyuki pushed Satha's hand until the young man took five steps back.
"Uncle Gyuki. Don't get too involved with my father's personal matters. I'm just suggesting this to you!" Satha could still smile. The young man did not look afraid of Gyuki at all. "I'll win in spectacular fashion. My sword needs your blood, senior!"
"Young man, come back quickly. I suggest you don't act too rancid. This hand of mine can squeeze you into a pulp in an instant." A cynical smile smirked on Gyuki's face.
"Did? Alright, alright. I seem to talk too much. I'll scold you again later." Satha walked towards the spectator bench where Hiragi was sitting.
"The twelfth game of the last 32 round is over and the winner is Satha!" Only those words came out of Gyuki's mouth.
Not long after the roar of the audience filled the Tiger Circle Arena. Meanwhile Gyuki looks at Kurose's face which looks shocked.
"Kuromachi Kurose's. Meet Grandma Sachie and don't meet Nezusaki or anyone else related to the Ten Elders Kai and Hizen." Gyuki said softly to Kurose. "Your life could drift at any time for having heard an unintentional remark coming out of the rancid boy's mouth just now." Gyuki and Kurose glanced at Satha.
"I don't have enough strength and allies to make a move. It's much more troublesome than I thought." Gyuki let out a long sigh and gestured for the medical personnel to treat Kurose's body.
"Take this kid to my mom's place!" Gyuki gave orders to some medical personnel who came to the center of the Tiger Circle Arena field. "Okay, Mr. Gyuki." They answered simultaneously, after which the medical personnel carried Kurose's body on a stretcher to the treatment hallway in the Tiger Circle Arena.
"What does that uncle mean?" Kurose stared at Gyuki's thinking face.
The audience continued to rumble along with Kurose's body which the medics carried on a stretcher. Although the young man from the Kuromachi Clan could still fight but Gyuki preferred to end the match. And Gyuki's decision was not opposed by Kurose.
