Along with Kari of Explosion Release, who had been struck by Hyuga Sho's single Storm Release shell, the disguised Flame Finger pierced through his skull.
Everyone present was shocked!
They clearly hadn't expected it.
The dignified Deputy Commander.
A famous Kekkei Genkai Ninja of Iwagakure and the head of its Demolition Department.
He had been killed so simply and casually.
One person.
He raised a hand.
Standing alone before 1,000 people, facing 1,000 elite Iwagakure ninja.
With a calm expression, he said he was here as reinforcements...
Who was he?!
Could it be that all the people from Kumogakure were this ferocious, each of them capable of taking on a thousand or fighting ten thousand alone?!
"It's a Storm Release Kekkei Genkai~~!"
Someone shouted on the spot.
Someone who could butcher a Kekkei Genkai Ninja as easily as slaughtering a chicken or dog.
Other than the Raikage.
It could only be another Kekkei Genkai Ninja!
Seeing that Hyuga Sho was so young yet possessed such tremendous power.
They couldn't help wondering about Hyuga Sho's identity.
"Take one step forward and see what happens. Once the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from our village arrives, I'll see how you die!"
Hyuga Sho stared straight at Earth Style: Onoki's son... Commander Kitsuchi.
"..."
The corners of the latter's mouth twitched.
Bead-sized drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He wasn't afraid.
He was worried about the consequences he would face if this mission failed, causing such enormous losses and resulting in him being brought before a military court.
But whenever he thought of...
The reinforcements from Kumogakure might arrive at any moment.
Combined with Hyuga Sho's strange and powerful Storm Release, which had instantly killed an Elite Jonin.
He began to hesitate.
"Retreat!!"
Kitsuchi gritted his teeth and ordered the remaining 1,000 subordinates to retreat.
