66 Twist

* Yawwn *

A well rested yawn sound could be heard around a Konoha home, on a bed with covers pulled was sleeping a figure peacefully.

Right now the figure was beginning to stir, the covers slipping off him, as a head full of white hair was visible.

" Haah "

Heaving a sigh of relief, the covers slipped further as the sleeping man's face became visible, it was a sight to behold, even after just waking up, the man looked like a picture drawn by the best artist using his finest paint.

" That was a good sleep. "

That man, was Mizuki.

Rubbing his eyes, Mizuki smiled as he whispered.

" Let's see what is happening in the mist. "

Putting his two fingers on the centre of his forehead, Mizuki concentrated.

* Boom *

" Your time is up Yagura! Give up. "

Yelled the Spectre, as he was huffing from exhaustion, but his actions stopped for a split second, not visible to anyone, he resumed his fight once again.

But this time around his eyes were a little more narrowed and mouth had an imperceptible smile.

Why won't he, he wasn't the Spectre, he was but a shadow clone, and his work was almost done.

Back at Konoha, Mizuki was currently brushing his teeth.

" Oh, so the Mist started lowering the support..? They wanna kill me when I am down I guess.. "

* Spit *

Spitting a mouthful of water as he rinsed his mouth, Mizuki wiped his face.

' That's why I never gave it my all, why would I even wanna fight for three days and nights if I can just sleep and eat while my shadow clone does all the work.. Now I don't have to worry about betrayal at all. '

Smirking, Mizuki gave a chuckle.

' I am not even there! '

Walking upto the washroom he finished his work as he thought of further stuff to do.

Coming out after doing his personal business and taking a bath afterwards, Mizuki already had a set plan in mind.

" They won't kill me, Mei will not kill me, it can't happen, this is certainly Ao's idea. "

Making a breakfast for himself, Mizuki was happily eating away, as Mist was currently in a very tense phase.

Mist village, in a hospital, Ao slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Mei and Chojuro, discussing, he heard something about the spectre and his memory came flooding back in.

Pushing himself off the bed with a little effort, he asked Mei in a hoarse voice.

" Mei sama, what is your choice..? "

Mei gave Ao the stink eye, but huffed and replied nonetheless.

" I have chosen the village. "

Ao breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything, Mei cut him in between.

" But I will not give up the Spectre either. "

Ao's eyes went wide, Mei sama would doom them all.

But this time around chojuro started speaking, a little shyly.

" Ao san, Mei sama will make a plan that won't require us to give up the spectre or our position, we don't need to do this. "

Mei nodded.

" That's right Ao, I am not starting a new era free of betrayal, with another betrayal. "

Narrowing her eyes Mei spoke with confidence.

" This is final, I will hear no other words. "

Almost glaring at Ao she spoke with no room for discussion in her tone.

" Am I clear? "

Ao looked at her for a few seconds, during which Chojuro was sweating bullets, then Ao simply sighed as he resigned.

" I see Mei sama. Indeed, it would do no good to our morale if we take down the Spectre.. "

Now after he had decided to fully agree with his chosen leader's opinion, Ao started looking at the positives of the new plan they need to make.

" If we are to start an era without the policy of blood mist, it would be best if we don't add a killing our savior to the start of our glorious new era. "

Giving a small smile, Ao assured them for sure he was with them, they will always work for the mist, together.

Mei finally cracked her frosted face as she too gave a big smile to her advisor and friend.

Chojuro wiped his sweat as he breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully he didn't have to fight Ao, that would suck.

" Let's go, you took your sweet time to wake up, Yagura is almost on his last legs, we need to see spectre win, don't interfere anymore. "

Looking at the dying down fight, Mei whispered.

" This is his legend. "

Ao, Mei and Chojuro all three got up as they called few key people and ran towards the fight.

Watching this the sensitive Mist Ninja's understood their freedom was near, so they too flickered towards the fight.

* Swish *

* Swish *

* Swish *

Almost the entire village was rushing towards the outskirts of their village, the injured ones climbed on top of buildings to see the sights, the kids got on top of their fathers shoulders and their mothers hugged them with care.

The whole village wanted to see.

The beginning of a new era.

" Ka-me-ha-me- "

Giving a salute to the Three tails, a shirtless battle damaged Mizuki gave him his final goodbye, as he released his immensely charged ball lighting from above.

" Haaaaa! "

* Boooom! *

Nobody closed their eyes as the entire outskirts area collapsed inward, the sea rioted and clouds lost their colours.

This was the fall of a generation, now, a new era shall rise from the ashes, an era of peace and prosperity.

Farewell Yagura..
