Chapter 69:- The Ultimate Prophecy

" So you are finally telling us why everyone keeps on referring Hiro as Vessel?" asked Hiroshi as he grunted and gritted his teeths.

" May or may not " said Gorosuke

" Let me just get the scroll first" added Gorosuke

" But Grandpa , that's way too...high " said Jetchi as he looked up.

" Animal fury:- Spirit of the Sloth " murmured Gorosuke.

He took his long , oak wood staff and took a stance. The pond just below the dragon artifact started to glow.

" Jetchi , the flowers please" said Gorosuke

Jetchi without interrupting , took the flowers from the bags and dispersed it , in the air.

" Spirit technique :- The summoning of the Ki." said Gorosuke.

The water ripples reverberated with the hands of Gorosuke. It was so graceful that it appeared like Gorosuke was the one controlling the water ripples. Petals of the flowers , rotated and twisted around the pond until it formed a tornado like structure.

" Lord Daikokuten , guide us through our paths and show us the way " said Gorosuke.

" Umm what's happening" asked Kanako

" I really don't have the slightest idea " whispered Flit.

The flower petals moved around the dragon mouth. One petal landed on one end of the scroll. The scroll followed the same patterns of the flower and descended through the heights. Just before dropping straight into the pond below , Gorosuke caught the scroll with the help of his staff. The end of the scroll barely touched the water , forming one ripple that settled the petals floating on it.

" Ok.... literally amazed " said Mimiko

" You could have done things like this whenever you wanted to but you still let us almost die twice?" asked Hiroshi

" Watch your tone boyo " said Able

" I will explain everything , gather around " said Gorosuke.

Gorosuke proceeded to open the scroll. It was a long scroll but had no words.

" It's blank"? asked Hiroshi

" Well it is " sighed Gorosuke

He rolled the scroll a little more.

" There it is " said Gorosuke

" Grandpa it's still blank " said Mimiko

" Oh yes i completely forgot " said Gorosuke

" Fuku sama " he added

" Hoot.... hoot.... Yes Goro-sama" nodded Fuku

" Come here " asked Gorosuke.

Fuku took a short flight and sat at Gorosuke head. Gorosuke eyes started to glow and become similar to of Fuku.

" The ancient script of the Tagamo and Nohara family" said Gorosuke

" Is he reciting , the blank....scroll " asked Ryo

" It's meant to be read only by the one who possess the animal spirit of Fukuagi family , The royal pet of Benzaiten sama who looks at the future , past and present at the same time simultaneously. This scripture contains the secret of the ancient families...it has been opened for the 5th time and hopefully the last time " said Able.

" Once upon a time they lived a great sage by the name Sharabha. He was a mysterious sage that performed miracles and healed the animals in the jungle. While travelling the asian subcontinent he arrived in the land of the rising Sun which is the present day Kyoto. It is said that BodhiRama the man who converted the ancient Indian martial arts into the martial arts which is now famous across the lands of China and Japan was already having his influence spread across the country few century prior. due to the awareness spread by Rama majority of Hindu goddess and duties were an influence for Japanese gods. A farmer who turned peasant , during the Kyoto era was one of the most dedicated devotees of Lord Daikokuten.

During the Kyoto war between two great clans the life of the innocent villages were in a turmoil. Farmer dedicated his remaining life praying to the Lord in order to save his family and born child " said Gorosuke.

" woah woah woah " said Jetchi

" Ok i see " said Kanako

" Events which were not recorded and lacked proper evidences stated that the farmer went on to live a peaceful life after the war. However the ancient prophecy explains that the sage was actually an incarnation Lord Daikokuten who travelled the asian subcontinent in order to save his devotees life. The great tree of life emerged and sheltered the innocent , the one with the pure heart during the war meanwhile the sage took his ultimate destruction form to destroy the clans and reset the villages environment suitable for the survival of the innocent. However during the creation of the universe the negative energy which was emitted from creating life forms took a form of a foetus , that went through metamorphosis after being dormant. It was concluded that the energy emitted from destroying the clan gave the foetus enough required energy to escape it's dormant foetus stage " said Gorosuke

" What....the....fuck.... " said Hiroshi

" Ok ..... weird " said Mimiko

" Flit..." asked Ryo

" My great great grandfather was the bodyguard of the Edo clan king....." said Flit

Gorosuke cleared his throat and coughed

" Are you ok Grandpa " asked Mimiko

" The exertion of his age and overuse of the animal spirit....is.... straining his Ki " said Able

" Even though it was the epitome of negativity and evil of the world the sage adopted the child claiming it to be his own son as he was the reason he was born at the first place. As the sage was just a mortal incarnation of the lord himself, his body started to get corrupt by the ki of the child. To maintain the balance the nature also created a child which represented the ying and the child which was created from the destruction represented the yang. The farmers son was named Gorosuke by the sage himself." said Gorosuke

" What the hell " said Hiroshi , Ryo , Mimiko, Kanako , Jetchi and Flit at the same time.
