Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 87 - Cave of Hearts
The next day Grandpa Hyogoro escorted Nagato and Litha to meditate in the Heart Cave for 14 days then he explained to his two disciples before they both meditated in the cave.
"When meditating don't think about anything else, you two have to convince yourself if you believe you can pass this test" explained Grandpa Hyogoro seeing Nagato and Litha standing in front of the cave.
After hearing Grandpa Hyogoro's explanation they both then entered the Heart Cave and began to walk down the dark cave passage.
"Nagato I'm afraid .." said Litha Lirih as she held Nagato's hand tightly.
Nagato continued walking and reached the cave there was a flat stone that could be used to sit cross-legged.
"Litha, take it easy with me beside you so you don't have to be afraid." Nagato rubbed his fine hair gently and tried to calm him down.
Litha blushed in embarrassment as every Nagato rubbed her hair she also felt happy.
"Nagato, I want the two of us to sit face to face." pinta Litha looked at Nagato expectantly.
Nagato only smiled faintly and nodded slowly then he sat down cross-legged using a position that he found comfortable to meditate in.
Nagato and Litha caught up with all the worldly thoughts in their heads and focused their attention on just one point: concentration while regulating their breathing by breathing.
The two of them had now calmed down to concentrate fully even the sound of their breathing was not heard.
Slowly - the ground of all the burdens that were in their heads both disappeared, all that was left was a calmness to process the breathing and pass this test for 14 days.
Nagato did not hear the sound of insects in the cave even he felt that he was in a long dream world there was seen a vast forest with clouds that stretched over the bright sky.
Nagato walked through the forest in his subconscious before long he heard the sound of running water and approached the sound there was a river flowing with water so clear.
When Nagato was about to try to drink the river water in front of him there was a shadow of the person behind him who was smiling sinisterly looking at him. The shadow of a stranger to him made Nagato's forehead shrivel.
"For a long time no see ...," Nagato stared coldly at the shadow of the person seen from the water while glancing at him, "I?"
Nagato immediately kicked quickly eyeing the head of his other self figure with the heel of his foot.
"As expected of me." Nagato stared coldly at the figure of himself who managed to dodge his kick.
"I didn't think you could enter your own underworld." a terrible sounding voice played a hateful melody.
Nagato was sculpting when he saw the Shinigami Death God Spirit emerge from behind him and approach him slowly.
"Devil, come here." the Death God Spirit commanded while flicking his finger.
The other Nagato figure walked over to Nagato and touched his shoulders then they both united.
The Shinigami Death God Spirit took the form of Magma one of the Disaster Highnesses who was the biological child of Kazan. The Shinigami deliberately took the form of Magma in order for Nagato to recall his hatred.
Nagato frowned, the figure before him making the entire senses stop.
Shinigami stared coldly at Nagato who was silent for a while as he looked at the figure of Magma before him.
Nagato drew the black sword that Grandpa Hyogoro had bought to him.
"Maagma!" yelled Nagato with glaring eyes.
The beating heart beats playing an incredible melody of anger. Nagato got out of control and attacked Magma blindly.
Shinigami smiled to see Nagato attacking Magma's figure which was an illusion.
"Son, however, fire is very difficult to defeat magma let alone your greatest enemy has all the power of a catastrophic erupting mountain." The Shinigami shows the true power of Magma even if it is only an illusion but Nagato's fire sword slash can't hurt Magma's body in the slightest.
Nagato clucked annoyedly at Magma who was fending off the swing of his sword with a magma-coated hand.
"The shine!" nagato's heart took a deep breath in one breath then he tried to calm his mind to be more free in moving but the figure of hatred that fused with him made Nagato's emotions unstable so he couldn't do concentrate in full.
Magma who was from silent and staring coldly at Nagato started to smile cynically.
"Well, your father is a fool!" sindir Magma looked at Nagato straight.
Nagato stopped moving after hearing Magma's words his entire body heated up.
"The time is right to finish off the son of the foolish old man." muttered Magma as she clenched her hands together.
"Before you grow up better, I'll have to kill you with my own hands! Because it'll be troublesome if you take revenge against us!" Magma beat the silent Nagato with her magma fist until Nagato's stomach burned and drenched in blood.
"Aragh!" Nagato grimaced in pain holding his slightly hollow stomach.
"Don't underestimate me!" yelled Nagato got up to his feet while staring coldly at Magma.
Magma raised her eyebrows to see Nagato standing back even though his stomach was hollow and covered in blood.
"I didn't expect his son to be this stupid either." muttered Magma with narrowed eyes looking at Nagato.
Shinigami who saw the fight smiled because in the world there is no such thing as peace even a strong person if his heart is too good then easily that person can be defeated many examples such as Pandu and all members Kagutsuchi Clan.
Nagato disappeared from Magma's sight when he used all his strength even though his speed surprised Magma but Nagato's current speed was nothing to Magma.
"The First Sacred Step: Magma Waves."
Magma easily hit Nagato's stomach into a large hole and opened fire.
Nagato tried to swing his sword at the last moment to slash at Magma's head but his mouth spewed so much fresh blood that it was just an illusion but for Nagato this pain was a reality.
"Don't joke, am I going to die here?!" Nagato fell back slowly as Magma pulled out her fist.
Nagato's entire vision darkened, unable to see anything, and his body felt an immense pain.
"Argh! Fucking stomach!" nagato's mind was holding my hollow stomach and was drenched in blood and she felt an excruciating pain all over her body from the magma blow.
