Tunnel Vision
Neji faces Kidomaru, knowing that his weak point has finally been revealed. Channeling a small bit of chakra into the blind spot, the smallest he can manage, he feels the arrow coming towards him and wonders what to do.
The chakra screams at him, warning him of the impending danger, and time seems to slow as the arrow continues on its path towards him
On its own, his body moves two centimeters to the right.
Pinned to the tree, Neji stares at the thread connecting him to Kidomaru, and slowly raises his hands, pulsing out one last bit of chakra. His vision tunnels as the chakra races back down the thread to its holder until the thread of blue is the only thing Neji can see.
The thread breaks, and Neji runs forward, blasting Kidomaru with a jyuuken as the voices clamor in his head, intertwining and blocking his vision until the only thing he can see are Kidomaru's eyes.
Kidomaru demands to know why Neji hasn't died yet, and Neji manages a derisive laugh, forcing it out around the blood in his throat.
"I…cannot die so easily..." I will not die so easily.
As Neji falls back on the grass, the Hyuuga blood pulsates in his veins, and a golden bird flies through his line of sight.
I promise…
