A massive Wind Blade formed out of thin air.
Empowered by Senjutsu Chakra.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Bright streaks flashed in every direction.
"Vrrr—vrrr—vrrr!"
The shrill, piercing sound they made
was sharp enough to seem to vibrate through space.
"Splurt!"
"Splurt!"
The blades sliced through the air and effortlessly cut the giant crabs in half.

They could simply be treated as fairly powerful ninja beasts. Neji himself could defeat and kill them, so he didn't find it strange that Naruto could handle them with ease.
