Chapter 116 - OKINAWA DEFENSE NAVAL BATTLE (Part-1)

{Bang} {Bang} {Bang} sounds of fists colliding could be heard as it resounded throughout the Ruujiki clan's compound. Ichizu side-steps avoiding a palm heading towards his stomach. He twists his body and strikes forward with his fingers joint.

Kaguya uses her right palm to redirect the incoming attack and kicks her leg forward, Ichizu raises his left foot and blocks the incoming attack with his knee and backpalm's her towards her stomach forcing her to retreat back to avoid the attack. Ichizu didn't wanted to give up on such an opportunity so he stepped forward and strikes with his elbow. Kaguya knowing the hidden power inside this seemingly normal attack went on high alert and deployed *Rotation*.

Kaguya started to spin mid-air creating a seemingly sphere made out of Psion. Ichizu's hand glowed with black color as a *Magic-sequence* appeared beneath his feets and disappeared as his hand resembled a claw. It was evident that Ichizu had reinforced his palm with *Reinforcement magic*.

He swiftly strikes while activating his *Aniti-Psion magic* domain. He catching Kaguya's hand using his darkness to restrict her movement whereas his domain dispersed the Psion flowing around her body.

Due to Ichizu restricting her movement ,Kaguya lost her balance and fell forward. Ichizu immediately acted and stretched his arms forward successfully catching Kaguya's falling body.

Kaguya stared at the overly handsome face in front of her and a slight impulse went through her conscious like a drop of water facing on the surface of still water. Ichizu did the same but there was a certain calm emanating from his being.

It's been 7-years since Ichizu was born in this world, during this period Nikasu was born after 2 years of Ichizu's birth with *Death-domain* as his Innate ability. They were then trained in various *Ruujiki clan arts*, *Assasination arts* ,*Modern magic* ,*Ancient magic* ,etc.

Just like the name suggested Nikasu had successfully integrated his ability of controlling the lines of death into his innate ability. His eyes prowess didn't only applied to living being ,it could also affect Psion and even Edos itself. His ability would immediately activate to protect him from most of *Magic*. It also had a weakness as his ability didn't allow him to destroy the Psion magic in which the flow of Psion and structure of Edos was ever changing. Meaning it could only break simple magic like *Active air mine* ,*Air bullets*, etc.

But when faced with a very versatile magic then Nikasu wouldn't be able to 'kill' that Magic ,though it won't make any difference after all, as his innate ability isn't his only power. He was also engaged to Sia ,the princess of *House of earth*.

The old-man took Ichizu, Nikasu ,Mahiyu, Izani and Mayuri with him on the *Charles particulus* around the world to teach them different cultures and different practices.

Izani had a calm personality just like Ichizu and liked to play chess with him, she was the princess of *House of wind* and excelled in wind-manipulation ,a genius even when compared to the many geniuses of the Ruujiki clan.

She had a petite figure , like a doll and had a folding fan as her personalized C.A.D, she usually acted reserved with those she didn't knew but loved the food which her Little brother Nikasu cooked, she would generally act like a strict elder sister when it concerned Nikasu and Mayuri.

Mayuri was born a year later after Nikasu's birth, she was the youngest child in the whole Ruujiki clan and also the princess of the Old-man. Yes...she was the granddaughter of the Old-man who was respected by the whole clan.

She had a small figure and oval face which displaying to perfectly round dim-pals whenever she smiled. She would usually play with the ever cold and indifferent Nikasu who would only smile when he played with his younger sister.

Lastly, Mahiyu the eldest sister and the princess of *House of fire* had a tsundere personality and would be strict with everyone except her beloved little brother Ichizu. Ichizu was closet to his elder sister. He would usually hold Mahiyu's hand when they go out to eat something or walk out of the clan compond.

Mahiyu was extremely beautiful ,she was only 12-years old but was an unregistered strategic-rank Special officer working as any unsupervised personnel in the *101 Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion* under the command of one of the clan elder of the Japan-board to directors in both Eleven-masters clan forces and government forces.

Major General Saeki Hiromi, the former Commander-in-Chief of the battalion, established the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion with the aim of having a magic-equipped military force independent from the Eleven Master Clans. The Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion carries all the characteristics of black-ops. The current Commander-in-Chief of the battalion is Lieutenant Colonel Kazama Harunobu.

Only the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion's command structure allows for soldiers during active duty to not be restricted by the military's ranking system, yet still manage to maintain their right to participate on the front lines. Although called as a battalion, it is only the size of two companies. The majority of the troops in the battalion are Magicians who use Ancient Magic, such as Kazama and Yanagi Muraji.

It is a force which has been recently established. The Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion is responsible for the development of cutting edge equipment. Compared to regular military classifications, the security clearance for this detachment is five to six levels higher.

Mahiyu is currently the youngest member of the battalion, even though it is known that she is a part of Ruujiki clan. The battalion didn't try to have any control over her priorities as first the Ruujiki clan is a secluded clan that doesn't interfere with the working of japan but only observes in the dark and the second reason being their incapability as be it any of the four great countries, Ruujiki clan's forces are the strongest forces in the whole world and have the most power in the four countries.

"KISS!!!....KISS!!!...KISS!!!..." shouted Mayuri as she took out her camera and clicked their photo before sending it to her elder sister's ,Tsunade and Mei who were currently training under Ookasumi, yes...Ichizu's and Nikasu's mother was not only the matriarch but also the strongest female in the whole clan even when including the servants.

Ichizu and Kaguya both of them ignored Mayuri, Ichizu gently supported Kaguya helping her stand properly while Izani walked up to her Nii-san and gave him a bottle of cold water before walking up to Kaguya and doing the same.

"Thank Izani-chan...." smiled Ichizu as he patted her sister's head.

Izani smiled happly and went back to her spot while smacking Mayuri on the head.

"You okay????" asked Ichizu with faint traces of concern in his voice.

"I am fine...." replied Kguya calmly before going to visit the house where Ichizu's mother lived as she would daily go and visit her Mother-in-law.

Ookasumi Ruujiki was titled as *Demon gun of destruction* by the world as she was one of the very few Ruujiki clan members who actually makes public appearances and participated in war to protect her country from invaders.

After Huraka's death after 2-years of Ichizu's birth she was heart broken, Ichizu wanted to prevent it from happening but his father's souls were taken was by the *Nirvana chains*. Even the *System* couldn't stop it from happening. During this time Ookasumi grew very emotionally unstable and started talking very less, her health also started to decline.

During this period Ichizu felt most helpless looking at her condition as he didn't know how to confront her mother. Tsunade ,Sia and Mei started accompanying their new mother-in-law and started spending time with her.

Due to the *Void-jump* they lost some bits of their memories, mainly the reason they were in this world but so ignored it after being comforted by Ichizu and Nikasu respectively. Kaguya also tried to help her husband's mother but didn't know what to say so just helped her in whatever way she could and left her some space.

She didn't had any experience in dealing with people who had just lost their loved one even though she too was one of them.

Recently Mahiyu was summoned by The Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion as the *Great Asian Union* had attacked Okinawa with their forces and they wanted Mahiyu to help them win this war. Ookasumi and the Old-man had decided to take the Young kings and the other kids to show them the reality of this world.

Even though both of them were perfectly capable of protecting themselves ,their family wouldn't allow them to do so.....yet.
