Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 83 - Love of Monkey
Nagato stood up then he chased after Litha who was running while crying towards the forest.
"Litha, what's wrong with you?" Nagato shouted as he moved his feet faster chasing after Litha.
Litha stopped and wiped her tears.
"Don't chase me! Being around you makes me feel sick!" Litha ran back because she did not want to see Nagato who was always in her mind.
"Eh?" Nagato was speechless and slowly Litha's sad voice lingered within his ears.
Litha's words made Nagato sad and somehow seeing Litha getting away from him made him sick.
Seeing the little girl who was crying and looking so fragile running away from him made Nagato want to hug her but Litha was too fragile for him to embrace. Wanting to hold her hand but Litha looked too fragile for her to hold.
Nagato realized that what had made Litha cry was her because she had never told Litha about her match with Iris.
"I've made a woman cry ..." Nagato muttered softly his voice sounded sad because he remembered the words of his mother who told him never to make a woman let out tears of sadness out of her face and never hurt women's feelings.
Nagato walked into the forest but in a different direction to Litha. His feet continued to step and reached a vast meadow that was in the tenth layer of the forest.
The wind blew through his body and interrupted - between his reinforcement the wind whispered through the pores of his body and made his whole body feel pain.
"Why is it like this?" Nagato let out a long sigh while leaning against the tree and enjoying the green scenery that stretched wide in front of him.
The breeze that hit his body made Nagato want to close his eyes and enjoy the atmosphere now but in his mind was imagined the face of Litha who was crying considering all that made Nagato feel guilty and indecisive because inside his thoughts right now were that the look on Litha's face that was crying the more he thought about it the more Nagato was anxious about the little girl's state.
"Maustus ..." Nagato muttered softly as he stared at the increasingly overcast sky and before long a gust of wind that delivered a rain-drenched voicemail message soaked his body.
Nagato got up and ran to look for Litha because he was very anxious and worried about the state of the little girl.
The drizzle that drenched his face made a mixed feeling that clenched his body make Nagato even more worried.
Nagato ran towards the second layer of the forest twenty-two because in his mind was imagined Litha was crying to see the water falling from Aor Falls Different Springs.
"Clean." Nagato took a deep breath in one breath of his breath somehow the feeling of his heart grew worse and painful.
Nagato quickened his footsteps due to worry about Litha's state.
"Damn! Why should I feel something like this?" Nagato continued to run through the drizzle of rain that drenched his body. Layer after layer of forest he kept passing through.
At the same time and under the same sky Litha was looking at the clear water coming down from the top of the Seven Different Springs Waterfall.
Litha cried as she recalled the closeness of Nagato and Iris at that moment.
"Naogato ..." Litha touched the water she was looking at because there was a shadow of her in the water.
Litha continued to cry as the drizzle of rain drenched her sweet face and made her fine hair wet.
When Litha closed her eyes she sensed that there was some human presence watching her and made her sad feelings disappear in an instant.
'The Cakrawyuha forest is a hidden forest known to some people of the Kagutsuchi Clan! There can't be dozens of people who come to this forest without being told someone ... ' Litha felt even more uneasy after feeling the bloodlust that drew closer to her.
"Clean." Litha inhaled the air around her in a single breath then she avoided the sword thrust swung by the black-robed man.
"Who are you?" Litha stared intently at the dozens of men before her but they did not answer her words and attacked Litha with a slash of her sword.
Litha managed to dodge every single sword slash that led to her because she followed the pattern of steps that Grandpa Hyogoro taught her even Litha managed to dodge every single sword slash attack of dozens of black-robed men and occasionally she waged punch his hand at them but Litha did not realize there was a black-robed man piercing her body from behind.
"Ughhh!" Litha grimaced in pain watching her stomach bleed and enduring the excruciating pain as the man who stabbed her spun his sword then took it out slowly.
On the other hand on the edge of the forest Nagato who just arrived at the Waterfall Seven Different Springs saw Litha who was pierced by a sword.
"Litha!" yelled Nagato who saw Litha falling slowly to the ground with emotions burning her body he disappeared in an instant and held onto Litha's body that was about to fall to the ground then Nagato kicked dozens of black-robed men.
"Na .. ga .. to. "the sound of Litha being laid out - the brick made Nagato remember the most heart-wrenching feeling in her life of losing the most precious person in her life.
"Don't talk Litha, I'll save you ... " Nagato carried Litha's body and ran towards the middle of the forest where they lived.
Nagato was chased by dozens of black-robed men and all he had in mind was one how to save Litha.
Litha stared at the look on Nagato's face which looked so panicked that it carried her body gently.
"Ma-Sorry ... " Litha muttered softly before losing consciousness and before long Nagato saw dozens of Green Wolves blocking him but he avoided the fight and chose to run through the shortcut to the middle of the forest.
Nagato glanced back at the dozens of black-robed men fighting the Green Wolf.
The rain grew heavier as Nagato grew more anxious at Litha's condition every drop of rain made him run faster as he could not bear to see Litha's blood-soaked belly.
"Grandfather Hyo, open the door, Litha's hurt!" Nagato kicked at Grandpa Hyogoro's closed door.
Hyogoro's grandfather opened the door and was surprised to see a crying Nagato carrying Litha's blood-soaked body.
"Grandfather Hyo, please save Litha!" Nagato brought Litha's body into the house and laid her down on the thin mattress in the room.
Hyogoro's grandfather tries to treat Litha and gives her a bandage.
It was raining heavily, breathing heavily - stinging from Nagato's nose staring at Litha who was lying weakly in front of him.
Nagato grabbed her hair and cried for letting Litha go alone.
"Nagato, why would Litha get hurt like this? If the wound went a little deeper, Litha might be dead!" Grandpa Hyogoro stared intently at the crying Nagato while covering his face with his hands.
"It's my fault, I let Litha cry alone ... " Nagato bit her lip until it bled because she couldn't hold back the tears.
"Grandfather Hyo, I am not a good person unlike my father! I've made Litha cry!" Nagato cried and his hand held his head.
'I should have known a man cannot make a woman cry .. I am not a good man!"' Nagato hoped that Litha's wounds would not be fatal.
"I let Litha get hurt .. I'm sorry Litha .. forgive me!" Nagato looked at Litha's face which was closed in his eyes.
Grandpa Hyogoro was surprised to see Nagato crying like that.
"Naagato ... " Grandfather Hyogoro muttered softly staring at the crying Nagato.
