Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 211 - Mangetsu Tatara vs Matsuhisa Osamu
In the special stands where Hiragi and Satha were sitting, Satra approached her son. "My son. Did you say anything unnecessary? As usual your mouth is exactly like a bucket!" Satra looked at her son.
"Better is my bucket-like mouth, than my father's mouth, which always says good things, but my actions are very opposite." Satha replied to her father's words fiercely.
"My son watch your words." Satra smiled softly at her and was reciprocated by a nod of the head by Satha.
Hiragi who heard, saw Satra and Satha just silently watching. "What are they talking about?" Hiragi was deep in his heart.
"I didn't say anything dad. I just don't like weak people. A person lower than me looking at me cynically is an insult!" Satha lies to Satra about the words that reveal she has a slave. But Satha was honest with her feelings that hated Kurose.
Satra smiled sumringah. "This is my son." Satra's hand stroked Satha's hair. Then the man sat down next to Emperor Hizen.
"What are you talking about?" Hiragi asked Satha with her calm face.
"I'm just not satisfied with my victory, Young Master. I should have been able to kill him." Satha replied to Hiragi's question while looking at Hisui who was still sitting beside Litha.
Hiragi was silent for a few seconds. The young man looked at his friend who had been friends with him for a long time since childhood. Meanwhile Satha was deep in her heart. "I was talking excessively about my father's business and something we had. But Uncle Gyuki's face was like one to watch out for. I think he'll protect Kurose, but I can get Uncle Gore's men to kill Kurose."
Along with Hiragi and Satha who were talking, Gyuki immediately switched to the next match.
"Next Mangetsu Tatara and Matsuhisa Osamu. Two names I'm calling please come forward!" Gyuki called both the names of the next participants. The man looked towards the sky.
Not long after the sound of footsteps came towards Gyuki. The sound of footsteps getting closer to him was the sound of footsteps from Mangetsu Tatara and Matsuhisa Osamu.
Gyuki turned her gaze to look at Tatara and Osamu. The two participants saluted Gyuki. Tatara's polite and respectful attitude towards Gyuki was followed by Osamu.
Gyuki laughed softly. "If you think young people now are not afraid of older people." Gyuki's hand again scratched her non-itchy head.
"Please guide her, Senior Tatara." Osamu looked at Tatara and smiled softly at the young man who was going to be his opponent.
Tatara nodded softly and returned Osamu's smile. Not long after the two kept their distance. Tatara and Osamu stood at a predetermined distance while waiting for the cue from Gyuki.
"Well, the thirteenth match of the last 32 of the Tiger Tournament of Kai between Mangetsu Tatara and Mitsuhisa Osamu begins!" Gyuki started the match. The boisterous sounds of the audience reverberated in the Tiger Circle Arena.
Gyuki watched Tatara and Osamu closely. "Tatara was a young warrior from the Mangetsu Clan. What kind of water sword technique will he show in this match?" Gyuki looked at Tatara who was holding her sword sheath. Then his eyes turned to look at Osamu.
"Mitsuhisa Osamu is a newbie to the Tiger Tournament. He was from the Dragon Sword Sakti. Let's see how this game goes..." Gyuki's back.
Tatara calmly watched Osamu's movements as he walked closer to him. His hand that was holding his sword sheath began to slowly draw his sword.
The distance between the two is getting closer. Tatara and Osamu circled their bodies around each other, their eyes looking extremely sharp and focused on their opponents.
"Water Flow." Tatara was deep in his heart. His hand had now drawn the sword that was neatly sheathed on his waist completely. Then skillfully he began to play his sword.
Osamu flowed his sword blade with deep energy. The young man launched an opening attack that made the audience even more rumble and make noise in the Tiger Circle Arena. "The First Sword Technique of the Dragon Sword Stream Sakti: The Clutches of the Dragon." Osamu's sword slash shot rapidly towards Tatara.
The slash that struck the claw was able to be held up well by Tatara. The young warrior from the Mangetsu Clan launched a counterattack. "Water Sword Technique: Sharks Pounce!" The slash of Tatara's sword formed the mouth of a shark made of water. The strength of Tatara's innate element is water. The audience was made to be amazed by Tatara's swordplay.
Osamu's body bounced while holding back Tatara's sword slash, his yellow aura he centered on both of his legs as a foothold. Then Osamu thumped Tatara's sword slash to the ground until there was an explosion on the ground that was hit by Tatara's sword technique which was held by Osamu.
Seeing his slash being held back by Osamu, Tatara's left hand squeezed and his mouth opened slowly. "Hiu Bloodthirsty Water!" Tatara used his body aura and profound power to create both sharks swimming in the air.
Osamu's eyes widened, yet he had time to react, Tatara had already moved closer to him. "It seems unforgiving. Senior Tatara is indeed a terrifying opponent!" Osamu was deep in his heart. The always calm carrying of Tatara was different when the young man from the Mangetsu Clan was fighting.
Tatara looked relaxed yet his every attack was deadly. Now that the young man was following two sharks swimming in the air, Tatara quickly quickened his footsteps when he saw Osamu was about to get away from him.
"Flush of Water!" Tatara released his water-covered sword slash towards Osamu.
"No! Senior Tatara is very fast! There is no other choice!" Osama was surprised to see two water sharks swimming in the air pointing towards him simultaneously with Tatara launching his sword slash. "Second Sword Technique Dragon Sword Flow Sakti: Golden Tail Crescent." The clash of water slashes and Osamu's sword slashes that formed the scythe created dust that began to cover the left area of the Tiger Circle Arena.
Tatara smiled faintly and pushed his sword forward, then the young man gave Osamu a consecutive slash, but Osamu's sword thrust made Tatara quite difficult to do consecutive slashes.
Given Osamu's fierce resistance, Tatara finally chose to jump five steps back and let his two water sharks grip Osamu's body.
Right after Tatara slashed his sword quickly and jumped five steps back, the two sharks swimming in the air instantly attacked Osamu.
Osamu's eyes are still wide and his forehead is wrinkled. "Two sharks!" Osamu cursed in his heart when he saw two water sharks getting closer to him.
"Third Sword Technique of the Dragon Sakti Sword Stream: Drought Earth Shredder!" Osamu exerted all his strength to hold the two water sharks that were already so close to him.
Osamu's sword slash that formed a brown-colored slash cut the two water sharks in half. Not long ago the two water sharks created by Tatara with his aura and inner power instantly evaporated vanishing impassively.
The audience was amazed, but on the field it was clear Osamu was still desperate. Tatara did not give his opponent that to catch his breath let alone recover his strength.
"Water Sword Technique: Rain Moistens Soul Serenity!" Tatara's sword slash quickly formed a water trajectory that looked like a river in the air, Tatara's movements were so fast and disappeared from the view of the audience as well as Osamu.
"Done!" Tatara said softly to Osamu as the slash of his sword was right around his opponent's neck.
Osamu gulped in disbelief at Tatara's power. "He can control his body aura well. As I recall the attacks of the two water sharks required a large amount of aura, but Senior Tatara was able to sort out the petons of his body aura as best he could." Osamu sat in his heart and praised Tatara.
His eyes slowly closed." I surrender!" Osamu's right hand was clenched. It was heavy, but Osamu realized his strength was still far below Tatara's.
"Don't grieve. Make this a lesson. My aura was drained a lot while exchanging attacks with you." Tatara looked at Osamu before leaving the young man.
"Hehe..." Osamu tried to laugh while walking following Tatara from behind. The two participants saluted Gyuki who was raising her right hand to announce Tatara as the winner.
"As Mitsuhisa Osamu of the Dragon Sword Sakti surrendered, the winner was Mangetsu Tatara of the Mangetsu Clan!" The audience applauded both participants.
Tatara and Osamu returned to their respective seats, while Gyuki smiled broadly as the last 32 tie was about to be completed. But the wide smile on his face was not the same as his agitated feelings.
"Tonight I'll see Satsuma. I keep feeling the anxiety. This feeling made me remember that night." Gyuki was deep in his heart. Not how long his eyes looked at Ichiba who was staring at him twinkling.
"Does he still recognize me?" Gyuki's back. Then he mumbled slowly, "The feeling of my hair is long. I'm not as bald as I was when I first met him." While muttering, Gyuki's hand held her hair and squeezed it.
