The humanoid flames charged toward the Kumogakure Ninja the instant they landed, the terrifying heat radiating from their bodies scorching the ground wherever they passed.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Seeing that Water Release Ninjutsu had no effect whatsoever on the humanoid flames, the Kumogakure Ninja looked horrified.
"What are these things? Why doesn't Water Release work?!"
"Something to send you to your graves!"
The words had barely fallen when a humanoid flame caught up with one of the Kumogakure Ninja. The moment its fist touched his body, flames blazed.
"Aah..."
Before long, the Kumogakure Ninja was reduced to ashes. The sight stunned everyone.
"Who exactly are you? You're not from the Hyuga Clan! How could the Hyuga Clan possibly use ninjutsu?"
The Kumogakure Ninja backed away repeatedly, their eyes full of fear.
Bang!
Neji ignored them and continued controlling the flames to attack them.
Without any hesitation, the Kumogakure Ninja retreated rapidly, stopping only once they were outside the Eight Trigrams Formation's range.
"Naive!"
Neji held two fingers together and pointed them at the group. The Eight Trigrams Formation in the air began slowly rotating forward, growing larger and larger.
Rock Lee and Tenten charged forward to block their escape.
Originally, Neji had only wanted to drive them away. Now, he wanted to kill every last one of them, simply because they had reminded him of Hizashi's death.
Faced with this unknown ninjutsu, they had no way to fight back. Before long, they were all reduced to ashes.
After killing them, Neji turned his gaze toward Might Guy. Seeing that he had kept his opponent suppressed throughout, Neji did not step forward to help. Instead, he returned to Mori Moto's side with Rock Lee and Tenten.
"Mr. Neji, how did it go?"
"The Kumogakure Ninja have been dealt with.
