Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 265 — Sunset And Fire Smouldering
After his body aura fully recovered. All young warriors as well as adult warriors who were still able to fight began to help the battle back.
Thanks to the arrival of reinforcements. Now warriors from the Kai Empire began to repulse the military warriors of the Kinai Empire. Hawk-led military soldiers of the Kai Empire, Tsumasaki and Budou, fight against the military soldiers of the Kinai Empire led by Spider officials.
Matsuri himself led his army to repel the Kinai Empire's military warriors. The attack from both directions squeezed the Kinai Empire's military forces. The opportunity was not wasted by the Eastern warriors who joined.
The combined attack along with the fighting spirit made the Kai Empire party experience a great victory. Nearly seven thousand military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire and military soldiers of the Kinai Empire were killed in the battle. While the Kai Empire side also suffered a loss that was not less great.
Many lives were lost in this battle. Slowly the afternoon began to darken. The fire that burned the building kept the battle going. The lights in the capital Daifuzen were extinguished, but a fire and smoke were seen from the direction of Mikazuchi City which was increasingly clearly visible.
Chosu, Takatsugu and Satsuma realized this. They were intent on repelling the military forces of the Rakuza Empire and the military forces of the Kinai Empire outside the Capital of Daifuzen.
“Orochis! Get out of Kai's land!” Takatsugu opened his mouth wide and condensed the wind around him. Even the Spider higher ups who were fighting Hawk, Tsumasaki and Budou were looking for a place to dodge the attack.
While Orochi who changed his form to Yamata No Orochi confronted Takatsugu with confidence.
The wind grew denser and formed a large ball that twisted in the air. Takatsugu released it towards Orochi and the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire. Big explosions happen. Three of Yamata No Orochi's heads were destroyed in the attack.
“See! You killed hundreds of my beloved pawns!” One of the heads of Yamata No Orochi shouted and spat out flames blindly.
When the sun is fully set. Swordsmen from the eastern stronghold formed a formation within the city in order to protect each other.
“Do not let your guard down! We must surround them all! We teach those who dare to harass us!” Namida gritted her teeth in not expecting the battle to be like this.
Even looking at the military soldiers of the Kinai Empire alone, made Namida so angry. The military warriors of the Kinai Empire looked like people destined to die on the battlefield.
While the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire are still fighting and trying to conquer the military soldiers of the Kai Empire and the military soldiers of the Kinai Empire.
The situation is getting messy. The flames that dyed the night sky of Mikazuchi City made the people who came from the Kai Empire feel a bad premonition. The fire looks unnatural. It even looks like a bigger fire than the battle that is happening now in the capital Daifuzen.
“Sheets, Mio, Hana. I'm going first. There's something I need to take care of!” Emi ran and had Ichiba lead the female warrior of the Fuyumi Clan. It appears Oichi is also controlling his body aura.
“I must know the past. The Kagutsuchi Clan. At least I can figure it out before I die!” Emi ran and killed anyone who confronted her.
The military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire and the military soldiers of the Kinai Empire who were fighting froze their bodies as Emi flicked her sword.

“Hanabi, thanks..” Nagato said to Hanabi who was fighting and touched her back on Nagato's back.
“Save your thanks. Now we really have been surrounded!” Hanabi frowned as about three hundred Beast Humans surrounded the young swordsman and formed a formation.
It was as if someone was controlling the Beast Man. Nagato realized that someone was after him. So he began to release his body aura and make a protector from the fire.
“No end!” Iris flicked her sword after killing the Beast Man.
“Something went wrong. They intend to surround us. Aren't these Vast Animals there are some who are out of town.” Litha thought hard and observed the movements of the Beast Man who formed a layered circle.
Looking at the defensive formation that focused on the siege. Litha recalled the shape of the Cakrawyuha Forest. There is no sure way out. They were all in a labyrinth with no way out.
“Be careful Hika!” Tika pulled Hika's hand when one of the Beast Humans in the form of Red Scorpion Beast attacked Hika from behind.
“Almost only..” Hika was surprised from being careless. Carefully, the sweet twin girls began to protect each other along with Tika.
“Air Sword Technique: Sharks Pounce!”
Tatara killed the Beast Man who had the shape of a Red Scorpion Beast. Tika who saw him let out a long sigh because she herself had just recovered her strength.
“Thanks..” Tika said to Tatara as she started attacking the Beast Man with Hika.
“They're squeezing us even more. How is this, Fuyumi Nagato?” Tatara asked Nagato, thinking the young man had a plan.
“You men are on the left and right, these women. I'll guard the back, while Tatara, you're the front.” Nagato said to the young swordsman who was surrounded with him.
“Alright, we're ready..”
“Dragon, I'm not too weak for you guys to protect..” Iris whispered in an irritated tone in Nagato's ears.
“Listen to my words!” Nagato replied to Iris' whisper.
“It looks like you two are very familiar..” Hanabi who leaned her back on Nagato's back glanced at Iris who was also attached to the two of them.
“Find!”
“Eh?”
Nagato, Iris and Hanabi looked at each other. Before long the young swordsman who was devising the plan was shocked by the arrival of Shirayuki who froze the three hundred Beast Humans in an instant.
“Great! Miss Snow White is really great!” Akai with admiration looked at Shirayuki who finished off the Beast Man in that instant.
Iris looked at Shirayuki and felt that her mother was imposing her powers. Seen from the increasingly cold air even the snow that fell around Shirayuki was very unnatural.
Iris feels Shirayuki has reached her limit, only that her mother uses the same techniques as Hisui. That was the thing he was most afraid of. Sacrificing his life for the sake of a great aura.
“Quick follow me! We're helping Matsuri's military forces!” Shirayuki shouted and started running towards where Matsuri was.
Nagato and the others followed Shirayuki. It was clear that thousands of military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire and military soldiers of the Kinai Empire surrounded the military soldiers of the Kai Empire who were all female and led by Matsuri.
Nagato glanced at Iris who widened his eyes and ran towards Shirayuki. Before long Litha also ran towards Shirayuki.
“Aibi Shirayuki..” Nagato was surprised that Shirayuki was spewing out a large amount of blood.
All the warriors were worried about Shirayuki. But they followed Shirayuki's words to help the besieged army.
Swordsmen of the Akatsuki Clan attacked the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire from the side, while warriors of the Kitakaze Clan attacked the military soldiers of the Kinai Empire from behind.
“Help them!” Tatara yells. Then the young swordsmen unleashed their attack techniques to form a combined attack.
The military soldiers of the Kai Empire led by Matsuri started attacking from within. In that besieged situation, things were reversed. Now thousands of military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire and military soldiers of the Kinai Empire are besieged from four directions.
“Mother is just exhausted. Just relax..” Shirayuki tried to calm Iris and Litha down.
Nagato let go of his aura and played his sword when there were dozens of Rakuza Empire military soldiers intent on attacking Shirayuki.
Nagato's back, wrapped in bandages, saw a black mark spread across his left arm. The mark made Nagato play his sword brutally.
Even Shirayuki frowned looking at Nagato. The mother-of-one felt Nagato was devastated to see himself hurt.
“Fuyumi Nagato!” A familiar voice came with the hundreds of military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire and the members of the Spider.
“You!” Nagato's eyes widened, while Shirayuki, Iris and Litha stood up.
Hanabi was attacked by one of my Akuyaku members named Ren. However Hanabi was able to fend it off quickly, even thanks to the help of Masayu and Yuri, slowly Ren started to keep his distance.
“Hisui is dead. Catching one victim instead we catch all four.” Ren smiled smirked and stood looking at Hanabi.
“It looks like the four of you don't need our help.” One of the Spider's members approaches Ren.
Nagato unleashes his attack on Kousuke who is near Ren.
In one fell his foot. Nagato's pitch-black aura formed a mark on his left body. Nagato's speed increased greatly. One slash of his sword killed the Spider member who spoke to Ren.
“Give that sword back!” Nagato stared at Kousuke sharply before the two started exchanging attacks.
Shirayuki unleashed her aura and froze the Spider's members and Iya in front of her. However only two Spider members froze, while the others were able to avoid.
The increasingly burning fire in the capital Daifuzen actually provoked the arrival of the four people who were burning Mikazuchi City. Although in fact the destination of these four people is none other than the Capital of Daifuzen. Until they get what they're looking for, they have to find it.
