Chapter 78 :- Callback from Past

" What happened that day Master Gor " asked Kanako

" It's a long story " said Gor

" I think it's time " said Choji

" Ok I guess so " said Gor

" This is the story of Battle of the Rainbow Tower " said Gor

Everyone leaned in as they were keen to hear about the incident. Meanwhile Hiro and Kazuki were fighting for the last Sushi roll.

" 500 years ago , there were 5 villages spread across this region. All inhabitants were the remnant descendants of the prior kingdoms. Villagers had mastery over different aspect of life. Some were excellent medics , while some were majestic warriors , some monks and some blacksmiths. They all were lead by Sage Shara after the end of Clan wars. Sage shara mustered his living energy into the land to make is prosper and revitalize after the massacre. " said Gor

" What?? That's soo cool " said Mimiko

" However everything comes to an end. The peace was short lived as the people of the village was persecuted by demons " said Gor

" Wait how , I've heard that the Sage banished the demons into the 3rd realm for few centuries " asked Kanako

" That's what everyone thought " said Gor

" A village head , corrupted by the Yin energy , refused to believe in Sage ideology of peace and prosperity. He performed a ritual which was conducted in secrecy by the Cult of Dai-shi " said Gor

" What.....Dai-Shi!!!! " said Hiroshi angrily

" That bastard " he added

" They used his body as a vessel , a vessel to harness the soul of Dai-shi into the Village head body " said Gor

" Gorosuke's Dad , Gato sama tried to stop the cult and the head from performing the ritual , but he was unsuccessful. He lost his life in a last stand against the cult. However he was able to break the word before his death. " said Gor as he teared up

" What happened next " asked Mimiko

" Hearing the news of Gato sama death , Gorosuke's mother passed away. Everyone speculated that she died to the pain and sorrow of seperation. Sage adopted your Grandpa " said Gor

" Grandpa you are fucking 500 year old " said Hiroshi

" Language " said Gor

" Sorry " apologised Hiroshi

" It's said that the Sage decided to revive the Bodhidharma style martial art in the village in order for their self protection. He believed that if people were to become one with the nature , they can utilise it's energy and use it wisely " said Gorosuke.

" The Sage prepared the villagers to be a Warrior in a garden " he added

" So how did this spirit thingy came into this " asked Hiroshi

" You see , during a short lived war between village warlord and the head of the village , Gorosuke was given the duty to protect the village during Sage's Journey inbetween the villages. " said Gija

" One fateful day , I was exhausted and injured after fending of the demons away from the village. Lost in middle of the swamps , I accepted my fate and closed my eyes. When I woke up , I was healed and covered in medicinal pastes. Turns out there were 2 hidden villages among the main 5. I was rescued and healed back to full health by one of the most beautiful women I knew...Your Grandmother , Arisu Nohara " said Gorosuke

" What The ...Arisu Nohara " said Hiroshi

" Isn't that mom's name " he added

" I know , I named Arisu after my wife " said Gorosuke

" Why " asked Kanako

A sushi roll flew and landed on Hiroshi shoulder. Kanako , assuming it was Kazuki turned around in anger.

" What the hell... '' said Kanako as a piece of wonton flew at her

" Oh that's it " said Kanako as she jumped at Kazuki

" Kids am i right " said Gigi

" Grandpa that's 500 year of history to be covered can we skip to why Master Aruma is all messed up " said Hiroshi

Gorosuke looked at Gor. Gor and Gorosuke stared at each other for a while and nodded

" Okay " said Gor

" Just to sum up , to represent peace and unity among the villages , a tower representative of every colour and element was erected at the the point , where all the villages border conjoined , so it could be tall enough to be visible from any part of the village. A statue of Sage Shara was installed in the heart chamber with all the scriptures and treasure. When the sun rised , it's very 1st ray touched the tip of tower , which reflected a rainbow for a few minutes over the land. Therefore its was named Sage Shara Rainbow tower of peace or Rainbow tower for short " said Gor.

" Ok now we are getting somewhere " said Mimiko.

" Dai-Shi and his army , remerged from a lake , you'll know about it later and launched a full scale attack on the village. In order to fend of the Iron fist of the villages , he formed his own legion. The Jui cihi Waru , 11 demons who possessed animal spirit and an element. They were ruthless , merciless narcissistic monsters , high regenerative power , high stamina and durability. Some of them also had a unique skill to overpower the masters." said Gor

" They strategically planned and attack the Rainbow tower as it lies in the centre of the villages. I , Gor , Shen , Aruma and Kae fought with everything we had. We were also able to kill 4 of the Waru but they were just baits. The tower was burnt and many villagers lost their life. I never told this but , Mimiko promise me you won't tell this to Kanao and Kazuki " said Gorosuke

" I won't Grandpa " assued Mimiko

" Your parents were the temple care takers. Who fought alongside Me at the 3rd battle of Rainbow tower " said Gorosuke

" 3rd??? " said Hiroshi

Mimiko was too stunned to speak. She wasn't able to contemplate the information.

" I need a little space please " said Mimiko as she ran towards the washroom.

Kanako saw Mimiko running towards the washroom and decided to run after her.

" Hiroshi you are dead " said Kanako as she went to bathroom with Mimiko.

" What the hell did I do " said Hiroshi

" Men...We don't know what we did " said Gija

as he laughed.
