Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 37 - Shoulder - Boating

Thirteen days had passed since the battle against the savage humans, the attack masterminded by the Demon Worshipping Sect had left Yasai City with considerable damage.

The residents of Yasai City worked together to repair the city gate and the wall in the south, they also helped rebuild houses and buildings belonging to some residents who lived near the south gate.

Nagato's fight against the wild man X 2 became a hot conversation among the residents of Yasai City.

"The young man was really amazing, I didn't expect him to continue fighting even though his body had been injured" said a young man who was helping repair the city gates.

"I did not expect him to defeat such a large and terrible creature with just a pebble." said one of the young boy's friends.

"The young man is a clever boy, you guys later do not forget to visit him because he has not yet awakened!" by Moyashi's order, the mayor was seen walking around the city while helping out a little.

"Yes, mayor."

"Ready, mr. mayor."

Answer the young people who are talking about Nagato simultaneously.

"I also want to learn martial arts, so that I can be like that young man." one of the seven-year-old youngsters looked so amazed at Nagato, after seeing his fight against the X 2 savage humans.

However they are not aware that the one who defeated the X 2 savage humans is not Nagato, but rather the Shinigami Death God Spirit who took over Nagato's body.

Meanwhile at the Kitakaze inn, Iris still had not returned to the Fuyumi Clan residence, the little girl kept an eye on Nagato all day and night, even Shirayuki could only smile and feel proud, she said, because seeing the princess only wayangnya feel guilty to Nagato.

"It has been thirteen days .. but you haven't woken up yet Dragon." Iris murmured softly as she looked at Nagato's face anxiously.

"Iris, you eat first, son." Shirayuki approached her daughter who was just sitting all day guarding Nagato.

"No ma'am, I don't want to eat." Iris shook her head.

Litha and the others were also in the room, they were always with Iris to look after Nagato.

Shirayuki then told Oichi and Ichiba to bring some food to Iris and the others so that the little girls would eat.

While Kuina also suffered a broken bone in her ribs but not too severe, it's just that the internal injuries she suffered were quite severe, making it difficult for the girl to move as usual for the next few weeks, the girl had woken up eight days ago, yet she was still trying to recuperate.

Kuina did not know about Nagato's condition because Serlin and Azai had not told her, if Kuina knew it it would only make her more anxious towards Nagato.

Oichi enters Nagato's room and puts food on the terrace for the little girls waiting to wake up.

Ichiba was observing the little girls who were guarding Nagato.

"It seems that this young man whose name is Nagato is not from an ordinary family." Inner Ichiba who was looking at Nagato.

"You have to eat this, if Nagato is awake and he knows you haven't eaten because you're looking after him then all you're doing is making him worry about you more." Oichi told Iris and the others to eat.

"What are you guys gonna do? If Nagato had woken up and found out you weren't eating, all you were doing would have only made Nagato feel guilty towards you." Oichi added.

"Huus, you're fit to be a mother." Ichiba stroked Oichi's hair.

"Hmmm .. Oichi's sister should be the one who scolded them, right Tika, Hika!" Oichi blushed in embarrassment because Ichiba teased him.

"Mother won't scold us anyway Tika will eat too, won't you?" Tika sees her own mother, Ichiba.

"Yes, Tika." Hika answered briefly.

"See Oichi is my new son, funny, right?" Ichiba laughed at the behavior of his two children.

"Heeeh .. Yes Tika same Hika is funny different from her mother." muttered Oichi slowly while turning his face to the side.

"What did you say?" Ichiba groped Oichi's body.

"You have to eat, you can't throw away food, remember!" Oichi held Ichiba's hand.

Iris and the others follow the advice of Oichi, when they hear that the thing they are doing will only add to Nagato's worries instead of making Nagato's situation even better.

Oichi smiled faintly, then the girl shook her head as she advised the little girls.

"Yuk, eat." Chiaki invited them to eat.

"Ka-Kakak, wait ... " Chaika holds Chiaki's hand out of embarrassment to Iris and the two twin girls from the Fuyumi Clan.

Litha was only silent as the little girl was also worried about Nagato's state.

"Iris, let's eat, don't shut up." Tika persuaded her best friend, because Iris just sat in the chair beside Nagato's bed.

"jelica ... " Hika pulled Iris' hand by force.

"Wait, Hika my hand ... " Iris tried to let go of her hand, but Hika clasped her hand tightly.

After that they ate the food brought by Oichi, Iris and others began to eat the vegetables after they prayed, in a fairly large bowl was seen there is a vegetable that contains eggplant, squash, corn, young jackfruit, long beans and chopped peanuts - cut.

Meanwhile, in Kuina's room, Shirayuki was telling what happened to Nagato because the young man had protected her only daughter so Nagato suffered severe injuries that Nagato could even be threatened with internal injuries.

Kuina who heard Shirayuki's words was surprised, the girl intended to stand up but still staggered so that Shirayuki told her to go back to sleep in bed.

"Quiet ... Kuina." said Shirayuki softly.

"Nagato always acts rashly, I have to teach him a lesson." Kuina scrunched her face.

"Kuina, there's something I want to talk to you about." Shirayuki's face looked serious and agitated at the same time.

"It seems like this is important." Kuina became curious.

"I honestly intend to match my son to Nagato, but I'm ashamed to tell you." Shirayuki was also embarrassed to say it, hearing that Kuina was choking and shocked to think that a beautiful and sometimes arrogant Shirayuki wanted to match her son to Nagato.

"Hehehe ... " Kuina became awkward and forced herself to laugh.

Neither Shirayuki nor Kuina knew that their conversation was being heard by Azai and Serlin who were about to see Kuina.

"I knew that Nagato was the son of Mr. Pandu." Shirayuki tried to continue her conversation, hearing that Kuina was surprised.

"I'll keep it a secret, I see that Nagato has an ancient curse within his body, in the past both myself and Pandu also had heavenly powers some have said that heavenly powers are also similar to ancient curses, but I passed that power on to my son, because-." shirayuki's words are held back because she is trying to forget the past that she wants to forget.

"Mr Princess Shirayuki, anu .. " Kuina was confused as to what she wanted to talk about, because she also did not really understand about matchmaking.

"Call me Shirayuki anyway I want to be good friends with you guys." Shirayuki now smiled kindly, making Kuina's face red with a look of beauty smiling at her.

"Ouch? Why is my heart pounding, I am normal right, I am not Serlin, I am not Serlin." Inner Kuina while shaking her head.

Serlin who was eavesdropping with Azai sneezed softly.

"Did anyone talk about me?" serlin muttered softly.

"Huh?" Azai looked puzzled looking at Serlin beside him.

"I don't want to force it either, because I haven't talked about this to Iris yet." Shirayuki felt guilty for seeing Kuina shake her head and looked like she was confused.

"Shri-Shiy-Shira is better ..Ouch!" Kuina bit her own tongue as she was about to pronounce Shirayuki's name.

"I don't think you're shy." Shirayuki again smiled warmly at Kuina.

"Eh ... " Kuina is now completely embarrassed to look at Shirayuki's face.

"Anu .. it .. we should talk about this to the two of them, we wait for Nagato to wake up." said Kuina softly as she turned her face aside.

Shirayuki laughed softly at Kuina's reaction which to her was funny.

"All right." Shirayuki left Kuina's room, when she reached the door, Shirayuki saw Azai and Serlin pretending to count the roofs.

"I'm first." Shirayuki greeted the two of them and smiled warmly after which she left.

"Huh, Thank God he didn't know that if we heard the talk earlier, I don't want to deal with the woman anymore." Azai muttered with a long sigh.

"I swear, that perempuan is very pretty huehehehe." Serlin continued to look at Shirayuki who was moving away.

"Huh? Serlin, don't tell me you ... " Azai kept his distance from Serlin.

"Stupid, I'm normal too, you think I'm a girl!" Serlin gets angry and goes into Kuina's room.

"Damn! Women are weird." muttered Azai softly.

***

A young man who was still asleep was still in a dream, a dream so long, as if he continued to be shown a past and a gloomy future.

"Buck! I warned you to stay away from the woman named Iris." a voice that seemed familiar to Nagato was heard in her ear.

Nagato opened his eyes slowly and saw the Shinigami waiting for him to wake up.

"Where am I?" Nagato held onto his head which was hurting.

"You're still in your subconscious, it'll take a long time for you to wake up again." Shinigami answered Nagato's question.

"So, what do you want from me?" Nagato looked at the Shinigami in front of him.

"I'm warning you to stay away from women named Iris and Litha!" shinigami said while trying to convince Nagato.

"Huh? Don't joke, you don't have the right to rule me, I'll live my way!" nagato replied firmly to the Shinigami.

"All back to yourself, I allowed you for some time to forget the hatred at the bottom of your heart, the demonic figure at the bottom of your heart is the real you!" The Shinigami spoke as if to warn Nagato.

"Look, someday if you're tired and helpless, then you'll come back to the real you." The Shinigami smiled and disappeared slowly.

"Looks like he's always talking to me about that?" Nagato shook his head slowly while recalling the Shinigami's words.

Nagato looked at his other self in front of him, his eyes looking so cold and his eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

"Me?" muttered Nagato slowly.

"You are me, and I am you" answered Nagato's other half.

"One moment you will understand .. "the other part of Nagato's self is slowly disappearing.

"Damn! Whatdoes thatmean? The current me also has such a great grudge against Kazan!" Nagato wrinkled his face and clenched his hands tightly.

"Is my hatred not enough? No. .. I will seek more power, and I will not allow myself to be filled with hatred." muttered Nagato after that he saw a bright light and there was a beautiful female figure with a sweet smile and had long black hair, behind his back was plastered with black wings, but what concerns Nagato is the girl's long, slightly pointed ears.

The girl hugged Nagato, for some reason her embrace felt so warm to her, after a while the girl hugged herself, she said, slowly the red and black colored flames came out enveloping both the girl's body as well as Nagato's body simultaneously.

"Fire?" Nagato was wary of the girl in front of him, but the girl only smiled sweetly at him after which she kissed Nagato's forehead.

"Huh?" Nagato was surprised and his face flushed slightly.

Nagato's face reddened and closed his eyes as the bright light that covered the girl's body slowly disappeared and saw the girl's body in front of him not wearing clothes.

"I have been waiting for you for thousands of years, you are one of the holders of destiny, your shoulders have been recorded for thousands of years, and in your heart there is a fire that burns and burns to accomplish its task even though many humans continue to break the blood ties of your predecessors and ancestors, the bond will never break and extinguish the fire that continues to burn in both your predecessor and your ancestors." the girl touched Nagato's cheek with both hands and looked meaningfully at Nagato.

"The story of the past that is hereditary will not be interrupted throughout the ages, I am very sure someday in the future, recorded thousands of years of history on the shoulders of a human being, he said, and there will appear a man who will challenge this world, having known the truth of the dark past."

"The fire must not be extinguished in your generation, you are the last of your ancestors." the girl smiled warmly at Nagato while sticking her forehead to Nagato's forehead.

"My ancestors? Kagutsuchi clan you mean?" murmured Nagato and looked at the face of the girl before him.

"I'll tell you when it's time." The young girl rubbed Nagato's hair with her hands.

"I won't let the ancient curse take over your body." the girl murmured softly.

Nagato was still confused by this situation, somehow the aura of the girl in front of him was not unfamiliar to him, because when he felt disengaged without direction, Nagato felt that within his body there was a calm sound, a calm voice, soft and soothing his heart.

"When you grow up, look for the four people who hold other destinies, you must come together to complete tasks that we were unable to complete thousands of years ago." the girl disappeared slowly after uttering a message to Nagato.

"Wait, I don't understand what you mean?" nagato shouted but the girl's body had disappeared and a sweet smile was on the girl's face before disappearing.

In the instant that Nagato's entire vision was dark, he couldn't see anything, Nagato returned alone, the silence slowly approaching his entire body.

"Destiny? Four guys? What do you mean?!" nagato shouted and hoped that someone would hear him, for some reason Nagato felt lonely in an instant.

After screaming, suddenly Nagato's eyes returned to see but when he tried to see around him how surprised Nagato was because he was in a rather large room and there was Iris with the others looking at him anxiously.

"Huh, so you died with me too huh?" Nagato again laid his body in bed after seeing the look on the face of Iris and the others.

"You're really careless!" Litha crying.

"You haven't died a dragon yet." Iris smiled as she wiped her tears.

Litha directly hugged Nagato's body slowly.

"Li .. tha, my stomach." Nagato closed his eyes as he felt no energy.

Nagato's stomach voice rang out, Litha laughed as she let go of her embrace.

"You haven't eaten for thirteen days Nagato." Chiaki laughed at Nagato's stomach.

"Thirteen days? I'm still alive!" muttered Nagato slowly.

Iris and the others laughed softly, Nagato just closed his eyes while trying to keep his rumbling stomach voice from being heard.

"Damn! How embarrassing!" inner Nagato while cursing at himself.

Nagato had woken up from his long slumber and the wheels of fate began to slowly move towards the future.
