But in the next moment, the holes shot through their bodies not only failed to spurt blood...
Instead, they healed directly.
On one hand, this was due to Flame Finger's ability to cauterize wounds with high temperatures.

"Is it because of that Chimera Technique?"
Hyuga Sho frowned.
According to Jurozaemon Biwa.
