With my byakugan, I could see tiny bits of chakra spread from his hands and attach to various things all around me, and I shot at him even as my entire surroundings exploded in one fell swoop. he tried to turn into my path with outstretched fists but I could see a million flaws in his form in a second even while his teammate managed to get herself in between us as I held back from attacking.
Her taijutsu was at least passable. I might even have been impressive if I hadn’t’t been raised to be a prodigy of the Hyuga clan essentially from the day I’d been born. I slapped aside her pitiful attacks with all the contemptuous ease before I blocked half her chakra points in less than a minute and moved past her to her teammate— the one with the explosion release. He managed a punch and fell to the ground unconscious a second later, his kekkei genkai being the only reason I abstained from removing his head and being done with it. Taking them out had convinced the last of the stragglers and I watched them flee the land of fire with a sigh.

A/N: And so the Stone breaks. Of course, Iwa is more than just Onoki and a thousand of their best shinobi. They’re not out, but severely wounded to the point of being near crippled. Their S-rank threats are done with and now they’ve lost their Kage without even the semblance of a clear succession in place. In short, they’re in worse position than even Konoha was when Hiruzen fell in Frost— except without Shorirama Senju to pick up the pieces.
