"20 meters..."
With his exceptional eyesight, Hyuga Sho could see through even the tiniest gaps from a distance of 20 meters.
Thus, he caught sight of the Third Kazekage.
"Byakugan: Pressure!"
Bang!!
A transparent white shockwave flashed into existence around Hyuga Sho's eyes, then vanished in an instant.
It was like a streak of white light.
Yet this streak of light contained the dōjutsu attack of the Byakugan.
A muffled boom rang out.
The Third Kazekage's freshly repaired body was shattered once again.
Only this time, it wasn't merely his chest that broke apart—even his rib cage shattered with it.
"What exactly was that...?!"
Orochimaru's smile faded, and confusion filled his eyes.
From his perspective,
Hyuga Sho hadn't raised his hands or formed any seals.
There had only been a strange light flashing in his eyes.
It was just like...

Rustle, rustle...

The one being repaired was the Third Kazekage, but he seemed to have lost all self-reaction.
"Byakugan: Pressure!"
Hyuga Sho slowly walked forward.
18 meters...
Bang!!
The Third Kazekage's body, which was about to finish repairing, shattered once again.
White paper scraps scattered across the sky.
This time, a massive hole appeared in his entire rib cage, as if it had been blasted by artillery.
"16 meters..."
Hyuga Sho walked forward.
Byakugan: Pressure!
14 meters...
Byakugan: Pressure!
13 meters... 12 meters... 11 meters...
As Hyuga Sho drew closer,
