Chapter 41 :- When you left

The monks and Ryo collected the body from the town and arranged all the things required for the cremation of the body. Meanwhile , Jetchi with help of the villagers helped clear the debris of the building , school and the temple. Hiroshi and Mimiko were healing those who survived the assualt meanwhile Kanako collected woods and flowers from the village flower garden. Hiro just stood next to Hiroshi grabbing his shirt. Hiroshi turned to see Hiro face but to no prevail, Hiro face remained emotion less. Hiro then walked away in deafening silence. He kept on moving towards the village.

" Mimiko , where's Kazuki " asked Hiroshi

" He said to leave him alone , must have gone to the pond " said Mimiko

" Huh ?? why " asked Hiroshi

" He often went to the pond whenever he felt angry or grumpy" said Mimiko

" Man I didn't knew that a man like Kazuki would be affected so much" said Hiroshi

" It's his first time seeing such a massacre or even worst , a man died in his laps " said Mimiko

" Did Kazuki told so " asked Hiroshi

" No , Ryo did " said Mimiko

" What happened i don't know who could have done this " said Hiroshi as he clenched his fist.

" Hiroshi , Mimiko " shouted Ryo

" Huh"? replied both of them together

" Grandpa , has regained his consciousness" said Ryo

Mimiko and Hiroshi rushed to the Gorosuke's room and slammed the door right open. The monk got scared because of the sudden slamming of the door.

" Woah , calm down Hiroshi " said Gorosuke.

Hiroshi started to pant and looked at Gorosuke. Tear started to roll down his eyes as he grabbed Gorosuke and started to cry.

" Hiroshi, my child , stop it " said Gorosuke as he started to tear up.

" I....I.. I thought we lost you " said Hiroshi

" Yes , we were so scared and we thought.." said Mimiko

" Don't worry, I can't die " said Gorosuke

" I mean you are old and ..... what!?!??" said Hiroshi as he paused for a minute.

" I can be knocked out and I can fell unconscious but I can't die" said Gorosuke.

" What , how , are you lying" asked Mimiko

" Huh , I think it's the right time " said Gorosuke

" What time " asked Hiroshi

" You see... When Daikokuten sama reincarnated as Sage Shara he saved a merchant from the ongoing Edo war. I don't recall everything but , he adopted me and trained me for future battles. One day unexpectedly he came out of blue and said:-

" My time is up , and I need you take it after me. I am granting you with a special elixir that will make you immortal for the 4 prophecy cycles that are yet to come".

" So , what now , how is this related " asked Mimiko.

" Dai shi , the same person that attacked you Hiroshi at the forest and the one who is sending all this monster to kill you , moreover, the one who have Arisu captured" said Gorosuke

" Whatttt??!!" said Hiroshi as his face turned red in anger.

" I can't disclose much , but I fought him and he stabbed me through my heart and cursed it with a spell , so strong that even the angles of the heaven couldn't heal it. Since that unfortunate battle with Daishi , not only I lost my immortality elixir but to compensate with the boon of Sage Shara , it was turned into a curse , that I can't die but would have and feel mortal wounds. To add salt on top , Chest , or to be precise my heart became my weak point." said Gorosuke

" Wow it must have been though going through so many years of battle , age and deaths " said Ryo.

" 400 years to be exact" said Gorosuke

" Does it mean that you have trained multiple animal spirit warriors " asked Mimiko

" Yes you are the second reincarnation of the spirits " said Gorosuke.

" Hiroshi "?? asked Mimiko

Hiroshi body was emitting blue aura and frequent sparking took place around his area.

Hiroshi went to the backyard right next to the nursing room. He took a deep breath and shouted:- " Daiiiii.....shii....!!!!"

His voice was powerful and his roar was similar to that of a tiger. It was in a layer , with Hiroshi voice in background. Hiroshi took a knife from his side pocket and slashed his hand. He then created a Shiv ling( Shiv Buringu) with the rock and mud from the backyard. He dropped some blood on the shiv ling and pledged.

" I , Hiroshi Nohara , will pledge that I would kill Dai shi and would severe his head and present it to Daikokuten sama shrine or I will die in the eternal flame pit of the heavens"

" Woah , what was that " asked Ryo

" Well that's a.." said Gorosuke as he was interepted.

" The well ... it's please come with us " said the monk as they rushed into the nursing home.
