Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 57 - Wind Hill
Today Litha and Nagato followed Grandpa Hyogoro back to the Wind Hill after arriving there as usual they both sat cross-legged and breathing on the hill where the night wind blew.
Litha and Nagato trained hard in order to master the whole breathing technique, every day they climbed and descended the Wind Hills, they both became accustomed to the different climate at night, and they became accustomed to the different weather conditions, especially when the plants and trees that move at night move to mislead the two of them when they want to return to the middle of the forest is not repeated anymore because Litha and Nagato have memorized the direction of the way home and started mastering in distinguishing the existence around them.
Litha and Nagato's physique grew stronger, and it did not feel like six months had passed, the morning before they had gone to the Seven Different Springs Waterfall, Hyogoro's grandfather cut Nagato's hair until it became so short.
"Ma ... Dragon ... to!" Litha gave a small laugh seeing Nagato's adorable appearance with short hair that could not be snapped.
"Hahaha ..., a swordsman has to go through this phase?!" Hyogoro's grandfather laughed when he saw Nagato's irritated look on his face.
In the morning Litha and Nagato went to the Seven Different Springs Waterfall to practice breathing for their bodies to fuse with the water and when nightfall arrived they both practiced breathing on the Wind Hill in order to their bodies were fused with the wind.
Litha increasingly mastered breathing techniques and memorized sword techniques, the dagger and the empty-handed martial movements that Grandpa Hyogoro taught while Nagato had also mastered the breathing technique until his body was completely fused with water and wind but Nagato still had not memorized the sword stance and the others that Grandpa Hyogoro has taught.
Every day they are getting stronger but the Cakrawyuha Forest is also increasingly becoming a dangerous place for them because the defeated Vast Animals compete in the dangerous zone start to enter the safe zone and fight with plants meat-eaters, as if if the two of them were to let their guard down then they would both be killed right then and there.
His father's sword has not been used until now and Nagato has not removed it from its sheath.
"Today you practice swinging that wooden sword from noon to afternoon!" Hyogoro's grandfather was teaching Litha and Nagato how to become swordsmen, Hyogoro's grandfather had them both swing their swords from top to bottom or vertically until sunset.
"Thousand two hundred one, one thousand two hundred two .. "the inner Nagato who was swinging his sword with all his might.
"One thousand one hundred seventy, one thousand one hundred seventy one ... " inner Litha whose body had staggered but the little girl was able to hold on and rival Nagato as she continued to work her breathing throughout the movement of her swinging her sword.
After sunset Litha and Nagato took a break drinking the medicinal herbs from the boiled leaves of the kates and the sweets from the ginger that had been made by Litha before they both practiced.
When Malan arrived, Litha and Nagato ran after Grandpa Hyogoro to the Wind Hills, until now Litha and Nagato had not been able to follow those quick and noiseless footsteps.
Day after day Litha and Nagato continued to repeat such exercises until they were finally able to process their breathing as they pleased even though they had not fully mastered it.
It just so happened that tonight the full moon, when Grandpa Hyogoro with Litha and Nagato reached the top of the Wind Hill, a thick white mist surrounded the Cakrawyuha Forest they were looking at from above.
"When the moon is full, this forest will look like it disappeared?!" Grandfather Hyogoro frowned looking at the mist blocking his view.
Litha and Nagato gulped as they sensed the presence of the Beast around them.
"When you get down to the actual fight, Grandfather will accompany you both!" Hyogoro's grandfather then closed his eyes feeling the presence of the Beast around him.
"You two use that sword that grandfather gave you!" grandpa Hyogoro's orders to Litha and Nagato.
"Yes cake!" Litha and Nagato also tried to detect the presence of the Beast by hearing the wind blowing around them.
"Under this hill they've been waiting for us!" Grandfather Hyogoro opened his eyes then descended Bukita Wind followed by Litha and Nagato from behind.
They continued down the Wind Hills until they finally reached the foot of the hill and there were seen dozens of Beast****horned fire waiting for the arrival of the three of them.
"Horn is burning fire? This animal underestimates me!" muttered Nagato who was already holding the sword that Grandpa Hyogoro gave him.
"It looks like you picked the wrong opponent because I have the water element that I was born with!" muttered Litha who was staring at the tens****the horned fire.
Litha had changed drastically, the little girl had now become a brave girl and was not what she used to be.
"Nriv - Ngok .... Ngok - Ngok."
The voice of dozens****horned fire sounded so noisy, when they were in front of the Beast.
Hyogoro's grandfather gave his aba - aba before they both attacked, when **** the horned fire ran straight ahead, Hyogoro's grandfather told them to dodge and attack **** the horn of fire that hit a large rock.
"Clean." Nagato and Litha worked on breathing simultaneously although the air was very thin around them due to the presence of a thick fog.
But Litha and Nagato did not make that their reason for retreat.
"Dance of the Water Fairy."
"Orangic Trajectory."
