Chapter 60: Revenge Arc: Operation: Kill Konan Part II

Cyan leapt back as the Zero Tails that she faced sprouted several arms that it tried to use to ensnare her. She managed to avoid them as many smashed into the ground where she had been standing. However, many managed to stop short as the hands at the end of the elongating arm angled up after her. Due to her still being in the air, she knew that she wouldn't be able to maneuver to avoid them. But, just as they were about to wrap around her, Mila appeared several feet in front of her. The dark-skinned woman brought the broadsword that she wielded down on the arms severing them before they could snag her allowing her to land towards the back of the large courtyard where she, Mila and Emilou had dispatched several of the creatures already.

The Zero Tailed beast let out a scream of pain, as it used the arms that had missed Cyan earlier to attack the new threat. However, although Mila raised her blade to a guard position, they never reached her as Emilou landed near her and a small ball of energy formed near the tip of the horn that protrude from the white bone-like helmet that she wore into battle. Once the jutsu charged, she fired a beam of energy at the Zero Tails which blasted the closing arms into nothingness and carried on towards the main body. However, although her aim had been true, the creature shifted its masked face away so that the energy beam tore into its body leaving a deep groove.

The Zero Tail let out another roar of pain, before focusing its masked gaze on the three women. A large mouth formed just behind its mask which split as a ball of chakra began to form in its wide maw. The ball of chakra shot forth and hit just before all three kunoichi blowing them off their feet.

Cyan smashed into the wall of one of the buildings which surrounded the battleground and felt as if the world was wobbling as she tried to get back to her feet. Just managing to do so, despite the vertigo that she was feeling, she spotted her fellow Fracción on the opposite side of the courtyard from her. Her gaze shifted to the Zero-Tails which was closing on the two unconscious women. Cyan suspected the beast was ignoring her due to it salivating at the idea of draining the two women of their charka and planned to save her for desert. Hoping to distract it, she raised her right hand and began to gather charka before it. Once the ball was large enough, she raised her left to direct the blast, which although tempted to go for the mask, due to her world still spinning decided to aim for the body less she kill the women that she was hoping to distract the chakra beast from.

Firing the jutsu the beam hit the Zero tails in the side where it had coiled its body beneath it as it prepared to swallow Mila whole. The blast cut a hole through the beast's body, although it quickly began to heal leaving behind scared tissue as it regenerated. It turned its masked gaze towards her, where the large mouth sneered at her. Yet, rather than coming towards her, it simply created a large number of the yellow mucus-like arms from its body which it sent across the courtyard to her. Yet, before they reached her, a man dressed in a red cloak dropped before her and began to spin. He was coated in yellow chakra which then shifted into a vortex as he pumped his wind natured chakra into it. The arms hit the shield of wind chakra and were shredded to pieces.

As the arms ground themselves into the barrier, Naruto landed beside Cyan and easily lifted her up into his arms before leaping away. The Zero Tails yelled in frustration, which Cyan attributed to the fact that another two Naruto had taken off with Mila and Emilou in a similar manner while it was distracted. The Naruto that had shielded her, ended its jutsu allowing several arms to ensnare him as he stopped spinning.

"Naruto," Cyan said as the Zero Tails lifted him up to bring it towards its mouth. She was surprised the creature seemed so intent to swallow him as well as had attempted to with her and her fellow Fracción. But, she suspected that due to the vast amounts of chakra they contained, the beast felt it was the best way to suck them dry as thoroughly as possible.
