Warning, Character Death.
“Would everyone but Neji Hyuuga and Uzumaki Naruto please exit the ring and go to the waiting area.”
_
Blond stood before Black... and everything changed, the atmosphere become heavy and charged. But not with tension or electricity, with Fear... the Blond's short spiky hair lengthened and became wavy, his stature did not change. But his carriage did, from excitedly determined, to simply, there. Then he noticed the eyes, where once they had been round, open and blue, now they were narrow, dangerous, and gold. He had entered the arena without weapons, now, he carried a sword with the curvature of a Katana, but it was rather too short to be one, and too long to be anything else.
“Neji, I will give you one chance, apologize to Hinata... or I will first destroy your will... and then I will come at you with the same intent you came at her with, and I will not be stopped.”
“Apologize, you break me? Despite your changed appearance, a loser, will always be a loser.”
“Very well then... it pains me to do this, but you sought harm to a member of my Hyakki. And I cannot forgive you for your petty reasons. You will not be leaving this arena alive”
So saying, Naruto's form dissolved into black flame disappearing from sight, sound, scent, and touch. Neji hurriedly activated his Byakugan in order to pierce the cloaking Genjutsu he was certain his foe had used. Only to fail. His head turned, believing Hinata had told him of the Byakugan's Blind Spot. Only for that too to fail. And then, as suddenly as he had vanished, he was there, naked steel against the back of Neji's neck.
“Do you understand now? Your 'All Seeing Eye' is useless here. Against me, all Perception is Dust in the Wind.”
“Die.”
So saying, Neji twisted, slamming his palm into Naruto's chest, even as the sword cut into his neck. Still, it was only a flesh wound, his foe would be dead. Only, he wasn't, black flames danced once more, and the circle where Naruto's heart should have been grew, devouring the false image Neji had 'slain'.
“Do you see? Even your 'All Seeing Eye' cannot tell you where I truly am. Who I truly am. You only see what I want, where I want you too.”
Neji, for the first time since his father's death, felt despair. And once more, the cold touch of steel on his body, this time, within his flesh, just between his Lung and Heart, avoiding all main Arteries and Veins.
“Hisatsu: Tsuin Shukketsu”
Blood sprayed, and with it, Chakra and Seal Script. Neji perished in five minutes. It was a toss up, dead of Chakra Exhaustion, or dead of Blood Loss?
