Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 266 — Cakrawyuha Forest Illusion
Nagato continued to swing his sword swiftly. His swordplay was brutal, as the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire near Nagato were hit.
Kousuke retaliates against Nagato's attack. The clash after impact continued to occur. Kousuke's body propped forward and stared intently at Nagato's eyes.
“You're so stubborn!” Kousuke turns his body around and targets Nagato's stomach. But the slash of his sword could still be held back.
Nagato increased his slash speed. He now did not manipulate his aura into fire, but instead made his aura an invisible sword armor.
His sword slash was now able to make Kousuke have a bad face. In just two exchanges of skill, Nagato with his swift slash of sword cut off Kousuke's right hand holding Grandpa Hyogoro's sword.
“Death!” Nagato slashed his sword even faster. This time, however, Gunter held him back.
“Don't be too violent, friend.” Gunter holds the Fire Sword, which belongs to Ryuno. He did not think that he had a match with those Ancient Weapons.
“How about this?!” Gunter swung his sword. Nagato held back the trajectory of the fire by shaking his sword.
“Two ancient weapons. I'll play the Illusion Flute..” Gunter started blowing his flute. Gunter's flute game is different from Fu's on Weeping Mountain. Gunter uses Fu's Illusory Flute, which has died.
Nagato furrowed his forehead as the building as large as the Kai Tiger Tournament formed a labyrinth. A place Nagato and Litha knew. Although smaller, but the Cakrawyuha Forest feels so real.
Gunter forced his way into the young swordsmen and some important people who were on the side of Kai Empire. The Cakrawyuha Forest that only had ten layers made Nagato and Litha grit their teeth.
A place that should be hidden. If linked, then there must have been a traitor or from the beginning the person who gave the location of the Cakrawyuha Forest had betrayed, of the two options, Nagato did not want to believe both.
“Who?” Nagato thought hard. Disciples from his late father and Grandpa Hyogoro who knew the existence of the Cakrawyuha Forest. It was impossible for anyone to betray, but Gunter's flute game made Nagato want to second-guess.
“This is an illusion..” Nagato convinced himself. In a vast barren land. Nagato was besieged by three hundred military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire and one hundred military soldiers of the Kinai Empire who attacked the troops of the Rakuza Empire.
Gunter can force anyone who hears him to enter into the illusion of his creation. One way to get out of this illusory world is to kill him.
One hundred military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire approached Nagato. The moment Nagato's emotions overflowed, his anger was already at the end of his head. When his eyes opened completely, his sword instantly slashed at the person who attacked him.
His sword slashes continued to kill the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire. Blood soaked his face, for some reason at this moment, he started to waver. How many lives have died in his hands. Nagato did not count them, only that this battle left him tormented.
It did not take long for Nagato to finish off the sea of enemies that surrounded and ganged him. The laughter from Kousuke was heard. No Nagato would have thought, Kousuke changed his form into a Vast Mountain Gorilla Animal.
“Feel my vengeance! I will kill you with the power given by Mr. Gore!” Kousuke yells. Both of his hands hit his chest. Four of my Aku members get a syringe that can transform their form into the Beast Man.
Nagato was breathing and moving faster. His sword was swinging towards Kousuke's two legs. The sound of his sword being unable to slash through Kousuke's two legs rang out.
“Cih!” Nagato dodged the attacks from both of Kousuke's large legs. The energy and power of the Mountain Gorilla caused Nagato to bounce back.
Nagato turned his body and started to strike back. Fire smoldering every time Nagato swung his sword, lucky when Gunter played his flute, Nagato threw Grandpa Hyogoro's Water Sword towards the chunk of the brick house building.
Nagato and Kousuke exchange attacks. The sword slash clashed against those hundreds of powerful punches. The longer the fight, the more Nagato remembered Kousuke's movement pattern.
With his large body, Kousuke gained great strength as well. It's just a matter of speed, Nagato is still faster than Kousuke who changed his form into a Mountain Gorilla Beast.
“Hampa Space!” Nagato released his aura and suppressed Kousuke. In one of his slashes that formed waves of fire, Nagato cut off Kousuke's head which half turned into a Mountain Gorilla.
Gunter continued to play his flute and forced more Rakuza Empire soldiers into the army along with the Kinai Empire's military.
Gunter sends two Spider members to take care of Nagato. The two Spider members looked confident in facing Nagato. Even though they are subordinates, and not higher-ups.
After looking confident, the two men broke out in cold sweat after seeing Nagato's left body filled with a pitch-black aura. They could not run because they were within the range of Nagato's attack.
In a single slash, Nagato killed the two Spider members. This time Gunter ran out of sense, so he immediately forced one of the members of Phyton who was involved in a fight with Hayabusa's group and forced him into the illusion of the Cakrawyuha Forest.
A man named Inusuke was shocked when he was in a forest. His eyes were trying to observe the circumstances around him.
“You..” Inusuke looks at Nagato standing on a pile of scattered corpses, “Fuyumi Nagato. Exactly, we're looking for you!”
Nagato gritted his teeth and directly attacked Inusuke quickly. Inusuke's two hands formed a claw holding Nagato's sword slash.
“Concerting! What the fuck is that with your face?” Inusuke looked at Nagato's face which looked so emotional. Anger is a picture of his feelings.
Nagato did not understand Inusuke's words and began to play his sword agilely. Each of his slashes was so contained and deep, his sword swing was filled with emotion. Emotions of his feelings at this moment.
Nagato repeatedly shook his sword aiming for Inusuke's vital parts. But repeatedly Inusuke was able to hold it and fend it off.
Inusuke began to attack Nagato with all his strength. But he did not expect, Nagato's strength was more than he expected. Nagato's body aura was different from the one he was used to.
His defense began to falter. Now a streak of sword slashes from Nagato scratched his body and gave incision wounds all over his body.
Nagato did not waste the opportunity. The aura of his body he centered on his sword blade. With a twisting motion, Nagato played his sword, his footsteps following Litha's movements.
“Dance Fairy Fire!”
Nagato slashed Inusuke's chest inside. Inusuke's body was drenched in blood and collapsed to the ground after Nagato unleashed an attack that rendered him unable to defend.
“Now where is he..” Nagato regulated his breathing. He has crossed his limits. Even now that he was already not feeling the hunger that attacked him, now all he had in mind was to stop and finish this battle.

In one of the Cakrawyuha Forest illusion places. The place filled with meadows looks Hanabi, Litha and Iris fighting against Ren and Hyuga.
The combination attack from Hanabi, Litha and Iris made the two men think twice about underestimating the strength of the three young girls.
“We are separated from Brother Yuri and Sister Masayu Litha released her body aura and playing her sword resisted the long-range attack that Ren unleashed.
“Yuri and Masayu are surrounded by troops from the Rakuza Empire. We can't help them because these two guys.” Hanabi responded to Litha's words and continued to raise her vigilance.
“So this is Cakrawyuha Forest, where you two live..” Iris observed the surrounding area. It's an illusion, but it all feels so real.
“Ya, but this is the outside.” Litha fended off the long-range attack that Ren had thrown back.
Gunter keeps playing his flute. When there were reinforcements of the Kinai Empire military forces, he forcefully entered into the illusion of the Cakrawyuha Forest.
Attacks from various directions made Hanabi, Iris and Litha protect each other. Not only did the Kinai Empire's military soldiers attack the three young girls, but Ren and Hyuga were also the victims of the Kinai Empire's military forces.
“Hanabi, Litha, don't stay away from each other. The three of us must protect each other!” Iris said to Litha and Hanabi before freezing the land that the Kinai Empire's military soldiers were treading.
