Yagura

A week had passed since Anko's last call to Mizuki, he had taken the time to check what she was doing, and it turns out she was practicing snake sage mode.

Having gotten rid of her curse seal, Anko was gaining strength again, looking at her hard at work, Mizuki didn't disturb her any further.

" What are you thinking of Anata? Is it another girl? "

Mei asked as she narrowed her eyes, looking at Mizuki for her answers.

Mizuki looked at her without a care, then said lightly.

" Yes. "

* Clench *

Mei clenched her fist, what was this?! At least say no, why are you accepting it simply like that..

" Who is it.. who dared to lay her dirty paws on my Anata! I will cut them off, just tell me her name Anata! "

Mizuki smiled as he shook his head.

" And tell you my background so soon, not a chance Mei san.. and besides. "

Deepening his eyes, Mizuki spoke.

" I don't think you can beat her anymore.. she's currently gaining strength, fast. "

Mizuki knew Anko was weaker than Mei currently, but it was clear from war arc Kabuto, a carefully made snake sage was no joke, Inorganic reincarnation itself will eventually put Anko way ahead of competition.

Mei meanwhile scrunched up her eyebrows, this narrowed the range quite a bit, girls around their age who can fight her head on aren't very many in the Ninja world.

She will find out from this narrowed scope, he cannot escape her.

" Hmph, keep protecting her, when I see her, I will simply melt her into sludge, you are only mine Anata. "

Mizuki didn't talk.

Did he ever agree to that? No. So it doesn't matter what she says.

Commitment goes both ways, Mei was certainly fun to be around, but not wife material just yet, their identities will truly make it difficult.

Now if she finds a way around that? Mizuki will certainly think about it then.

But enough about that.

" Mei san, I think we should begin checking our wares, the attack will begin soon, we don't have much time left. "

Mei pouted cutely, then began putting her hands over Mizuki's ninja pouches and his pockets.

" I mean check our personal wares Mei san. "

Giving a shocked look, she nodded as if finally understanding and began checking around her body, in a very suggestive fashion.

" ...You know what, this is fine. "

Mei smiled widely as Mizuki simply leaned backwards, watching Mei ' check her wares '

' This is it, doing what you want before the battle.. Maybe you will die, you don't want to regret anything right..? '

Mei took a while to check, getting stuck many times, taking some help from Mizuki along the way for good measure.

After a solid while of checking and rechecking, they both decided to commence the attack, it was time.

" Alright let's go. "

" Hai! "

Mei walked out with a flushed face, and Mizuki walked out with his hands in his pockets.

They got a tailed beast to fight.

' Three tails, Yagura, he is a tough opponent, any perfect jinchuriki can defeat a kage, that's why third Raikage's three days and three nights against eight tails was legendary. '

Mizuki knew the best way to fight a jinchuriki was to seal their tailed beast, but doing that to Yagura was exceptionally difficult, a perfect jinchuriki worked together, breaking open the seal is easy for them given time.

They need to do this the old fashioned way.

* Step *

As Mei and Mizuki made their way towards a tall house, Mizuki turned towards the kage building, the house chosen was near the building, in just the right spot.

" Are you ready? "

Mei asked, and Mizuki nodded.

Everyone was in place, scattered around the Mizukage at key points, now Mei and his actions will initiate the coup.

Mizuki and Mei, both took a deep breath.

" " Fooooossssh " "

And exhaled out at the same time, Mei exhaled boiling hot steam and Mizuki exhaled pure wind currents, giving the steam a direction.

Straight towards the Mizukage office.

" Fooooo "

As Mei continued to exhale and Mizuki continued to guide, the huge wave of mist had reached the building.

* Sizzzle *

And started it's corrosive actions right away.

The whole building was getting corroded at a visible rate.

" Swish "

Multiple Anbu Ninja's flickered out but got caught in the boil release instantly.

" Aaaah! "

Mei didn't stop even after hearing the screams, she kept exhaling and Mizuki kept supporting, they had to cover the entire area around the office, and make it a forbidden land.

At least that was the plan.

*Bhossssssh *

A huge blast of chakra happened right at the centre of the building up hot steam field, and a gigantic creature appeared smack dab in the middle.

" Grooooowl! "

A titanic roar shook the whole Mist village, as the entirety of the boil release environment created by Mei and Mizuki was scattered.

Blown back right at them, and outwards, everywhere the coup members could be hidden, the boiling hot steam was blown back.

" Aahh! "

And it worked like a charm, multiple members started dying like no tomorrow.

" Run! Scatter! "

Ao yelled, as he ordered the members to scatter.

Mizuki meanwhile asked in a low voice.

" The position of the building, the place to scatter the attack to and that quick reaction, your Mizukage has a great deal of experience dealing with coup. "

Mei's eyebrows twitched, what a shame! Every other kage is dealing with enemy Ninja's and tailed beasts, and their Mizukage is experienced in dealing with his own village...

" Don't say that Anata.. it cuts deep. "

Mizuki shook his head with a smile, but didn't argue, they had a three tails to fight.

" Let's go. "

" Wait! "

Mizuki stopped at Mei's call.

" .. This is our fight, are you sure you want to do this? "

Mizuki smiled, looking all around him, he spoke slowly.

" If I am being honest Mei san, I don't want to fight a perfect jinchuriki, it's too risky. "

Looking at the gloomy environment all around, Mizuki narrowed his eyes as he spoke with assurance.

" But how do I say this, this village needs help, I can provide that help, it's as simple as that. "

Was Mizuki telling the truth or was this another one of his scheme upon scheme, Mei didn't know but looking at him about to fight yagura for their sake, she knew what she wanted to do.

* mmmm *

And just like that, to the same man she gave up her first kiss accidentally, she now gave up her first non accidental kiss as well, this time around, fully intending to do so.

Perhaps this was fate.

Mizuki and Mei tuned everything out for a few seconds, no wailing, no blood mist, no slaughtering tailed beast, only the two of them, together.

" Haaah. Be safe. Anata. "

Mizuki nodded, as he once more took his steps straight towards the beast.

" Let's do this. Yagura. "

* Siwsh *

Around the battlefield the three tails was raging, multiple Ninja's were fighting, avoiding the tailed beast as well as Mei's mist.

There was rampage going on everywhere, enemy, environment, beasts and teammates, everyone was danger and everything was deadly.

This was the true portrayal of blood mist village.

" Get away! "

Ninja's were running away, as one Ninja in bird mask was booking it as fast as possible.

' Shit! Yagura is behind me?! Run me! Run! '

Telling himself to run like no tomorrow, the bird mask Ninja was looking around, everyone was either running from the battlefield, or trying to run from the battlefield.

The bird mask ninja was thankful his friend had arranged him a good place somewhat away from all this mess.

' Look at everyone, running at the first sight of personal danger, this coup is a total bust. '

The bird Ninja understood, seeing everyone run away, that this coup too, like all other ones, is a lost cause.

' I didn't want to be a part of this, but a Ninja's gotta do what he gotta do.. I wonder where Mei sama's helper went, wasn't he supposed to a hot shot..? '

The bird mask Ninja dodged an Anbu ninja trying to sneak up on him.

* Slash *

And slashed straight through his head, he was running at full speed, no random Anbu can sneak up on a sensor like him.

' Bastard stuff, pulling others to die, no thanks, now everyone is on their own- '

Stopping his train of thought for a second, the bird mask ninja frowned, he could sense among the sea of chakra running away, there was one particular chakra, heading straight towards Yagura.

' Who's that?? That's isn't Mei sama's chakra, it's way too.. raging?storm like? What is this? '

The bird mask ninja stopped for a second on the rooftop, as he turned his head to the side.

He didn't need to sense anymore, as the chakra signature had arrived besides him.

' Who's this..? '

The bird mask ninja wasn't the only one taking a look, because amongst the herd of Ninja running away, this figure walking towards the beast simply couldn't be missed.

" Gulp.. his chakra, it's immense.. "

Narrowing his eyes, he truly felt the essence of the man's chakra

" He's like a natural disaster! A thunderstorm of the highest calibre.. who is this man? "

The man in question, had currently stopped walking, as he had approached the battlefield's range.

* Boom *

Amongst the booming noises, from a bit far away, the bird mask Ninja saw the man's back, standing straight, and right infront of him, lighting up the night sky, the titanic three tailed beast was raging, fire all around.

It was an absurd sight, even for Ninja's, one man standing against a tide of retreating Shinobi, facing off against a force of nature.

But the bird mask Ninja didn't find this odd, for he knew.

' This man too, is a force of nature.. '

Thunderstorm vs the raging ocean.

That was what was about to happen on this battlefield, and the bird mask Ninja will be amongst the few to witness the beginning of a legend.

The legend of the Blue Spectre.
