Three Tails

" Groooowl! "

The three tails roared, Yagura was angry, this may be the third assassination attempt this month, but one this large? It was the first one in years.

He will destroy the traitors, kill them, erase them from existence.

* Zoooom *

A tailed beast ball was being generated before three tail's mouth, it's raging body and frightening Chakra doing nothing to stop everyone from hearing the sound of doom.

Everything was left behind, Ninja's everywhere on the battlefield, around the water bodies or hidden in strongholds, were feeling heart palpitations.

" Why.. oh god.. "

A cat masked Ninja gulped, a tailed beast ball smack dab in the middle of the village, this was a disaster.

Mei meanwhile was looking on with worry as she was taking down the strongest of the opposition.

Clenching her teeth, she tried hard to not look.

' This had to be done, Yagura had to be taken in the village, he never goes out, when he does everything is set to not get caught off guard.. this is our only chance.. '

" Move! The village will get razed to the ground, this is no time to be fighting amongst each other. "

Hearing Mei's commanding voice, some of the opposing Shinobi faltered, looking around the gigantic death bringer was about to release it's full power attack, smack dab in the middle of their village.

But not everyone was shaken, if mist Ninja's were something, it was cunning.

* Zoooo *

The leader of opposite platoon could hear the attack being almost ready, but he never gave the command to evacuate.

What if the coup fails? Like it had countless times before, then Yagura will have their lives. So it's best to keep fighting, at least they will have a ray of life.

" Don't listen to her, finish the job. "

The rest of the faltering Ninja's stopped being indecisive, they shouldn't go against their captain, at least not openly, if necessary, they had to get rid of everyone on the scene, and with a platoon this big, that wasn't possible.

Mei understood what was happening, but still couldn't help but clench her teeth.

" You morons! "

Yelled Mei, as she attacked once more.

She had given Ao the responsibility to ambush Yagura while she takes down the most deadly platoon.

Yes, she was fighting entirely on her own against what could only be considered a small army.

' Ao, please get it done. '

Mei prayed, she had given Ao the entirety of their army, he would need that if he was to take down Yagura.

As for Mizuki? He was a latest addition, but their base plan didn't change, so he was to stop the tree tail's rampage, his spectre powers being helpful. If he fails or betrays, they lose absolutely nothing, the coup has already begun.

* Gulp *

Meanwhile Ao was sweating, he was hidden behind a stronghold, the beast just ate the tailed beast ball, he could see being very close to the beast, his byakugan fully active.

" God! The beast is about to attack, it's not a focused blow, it's a continuous beam! disperse! Now! "

The rebel army started running, but not away from the beast, but closer to it, a sweeping beam attack throughout the village has the least chances of getting close to the beast himself.

' Mei sama, please live, even if we won, it would mean nothing if we lost you. '

Ao was praying as well, this had always been their plan, getting to Yagura as Mei and a scattered few took down the opposing party, at least keep them busy.

But soon, everything became still.

A deathly stillness took over the battlefield as everyone's hair stood on end, it was an omen of death.

' The beast's attack.. it's ready. '

As the three tails was opening it's mouth, Mei's perception slowed down, she knew she was close of death, a sweeping attack was incoming, starting from her own position.

' Shit. '

Her body moved in slow motion, or her mind moved too quickly.

' Lava release- '

she can still live, it's completely a matter of chance, but she had to try.

As Mei's and everyone's desperate eyes looked at the beast about to open it's mouth.

The stillness of the battlefield was broken by one determined voice.

" Shoryuken! "

Everyone's eyes widened, as a man with glowing eyes, shot up from below the beast and-

* Bam! *

Socked him right in it's chin.

* Aaagh *

Before the beast could even utter a full scream, it happened.

* Booom boom boom boom boom *

Multiple explosions boomed inside it's body, his very flesh flew and shell snapped, as the beast's own attack blew up within him, with nowhere to escape.

" The body becomes the exit point. "

Mizuki spoke smilingly, as he maintained the uppercut posture in the air, infront of the glaring beast's eye, as it's body was falling apart.

" What the actual hell. "

The cat masked ninja muttered.

" That's.. the spectre. "

Ao gulped as he concluded.

" Anata! "

Mei yelled with happiness as she celebrated by melting a few more people.

They were banking on the possibility of Yagura not using a tailed beast ball in the village but it happened, they still had a plan for that, which was to scatter from the impact zone.

" Aaah! "

Yelled Mei's opposition, both from fear and her steam.

They thought for sure when Yagura ate the attack, that it's sweeping beam version was incoming, Yagura having seen their plan, made it impossible to escape it's range.

They were certain they were dead, sure, they survived, but this was worse.

" Who the hell is that man?! "

Yelled the leader of the platoon, scared and flustered, the rebel army having this beast of a man was completely out of their expectations.

Yagura had taken them off guard when he increased the range of his tailed beast ball, the whole village would have been annihilated, or at least take massive losses.

* Shiver *

The commander shivered.

' That man just punched Yagura's mouth close like nobody's business! What is this world... '

But his paralyzing fear stopped when Mei's voice came from the side.

" That's my Anata.. He is known as the Spectre. "

The leader saw Mei turn towards the man, who was now flutteringly gliding down, as the titanic beast before him was still booming from within, it's massive body losing balance as it fell, causing impact far greater than anything they could ever make.

" Spectre. The Blue Spectre. "

The leader agreed, with a nod of both shame and acknowledgement.

' Blue Spectre...? Indeed. '

Concluded the commanding man as he saw their savior's glowing blue eyes.

" Retreat. "

That was the only order the leader gave as his platoon retreated, they cannot fight this man, this was a war far beyond their scope.
