In a display of true cunning, the unknown opponent hopped onto a large shuriken that was kept afloat 4ft above ground level, saving himself from the spider web that successfully dispatched on of the clones before Zeshin lifted his hand from the ground and the traces of lightning slowly vanished from sight. Then, the Namikaze recognized his own chakra signature while hearing something from the sky, behind him, looking up to see a large amount of weapons coming his way; amongst them the kunai he had thrown at the start of this battle. “Excellent.”. He threw a  new kunai up into the sky, seemingly for no good reason, where it travelled between, and pierced through, the onslaught of projectiles until it found its target in Zeshin’s marked kunai which was knocked off balance into a new trajectory before the continuing barrage of the enemy’s weapons tore through the most recently thrown item that seemed to have done nothing but stop a single projectile.



Now whether he had actually planned this out, or whether it was simple luck, was left up to the spectator to assume as Zeshin's image vanished from sight, instantly, just as the pillars of earth rose up to begin a technique Zeshin himself had attempted to use on Shinyuu a few days ago. He had waited just long enough to see his opponent finish the handseals and the tips of pillars erupt from the ground, before doing his vanishing act.

It might’ve been hard to figure out exactly what had happened as Zeshin was simply nowhere to be seen anymore. And unlike his top-speed running, even the best of eyes wouldn’t have been able to follow his movement this time, cause there was none. Zeshin had teleported to the Kunai he had marked with the Flying Thunder God at the start of this battle. After previously having thrown a new kunai against the marked one, the marked one flew up high in a vertical line, away from the many weapons that by now pierced the ground where Zeshin had stood earlier while the rock pillars grew to full size.



Meanwhile, high up in the sky, Zeshin quickly pocketed his airborn kunai with the Flying Thundergod seal. Then making a rapid series of handseals before a chirping mass of blue charka began to convulse around his right arm. The powerful chakra continued to grow brighter while its shape was continuously manipulated around Zeshin’s forearm, becoming more intense by the second as the screeching chirps became louder with each passing moment. Even the sky seemed to momentarily darken as Zeshin was suspended in midair, about 20 yards up from the ground, directly above the robed assailant.

He then uttered but one word that carried a certain melancholy as if he begrudged having to speak these syllables. And as he spoke, his body fell down from the sky like an eagle in mid-flight, headfirst and coming down towards the adversay like a comet raining down from the sky. “Chidori!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Meiryo,sans-serif;">While diving down through the air this technique only grew in strength due to the immense speed of gravity enforced motion behind it. But the attempt seemed perhaps too obvious as the Namikaze fell through the open area between airborne bugs that had recently been created by the opponent. But then, just as he extended his hand and seemed dead-set on crashing down on his target from above, Zeshin vanished from sight again.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Meiryo,sans-serif;">-He won’t expect this.-

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Meiryo,sans-serif;">Re-appearing between the pillars that were host to dancing lightning, Zeshin still carried the full motion of his earlier vertical drop, and transitioned that speed as he now almost flew over the ground in a horizontal line while approaching the opponent from a completely new angle. After the earlier spider web, he had left a Flying Thundergod mark on the floor just before lifting his hand up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Meiryo,sans-serif;">Zeshin was now moving out of the most dangerous place on the battlefield, due to having re-appeared between the lightning pillars to mask his approach and chakra signature, and felt his body sting while he rushed through the makeshift thunderstorm, while still continuing on a straight line of motion as the chidori cut through several bolts of lightning in that short-lived moment where Zeshin ‘flew’ out of the formation of rock pillars and straight into the hovering figure of the opponent, carrying a world of momentum with him while forcing his chidori-bearing hand forth through the air, feeling the strain of energy run through his entire limb. It felt like his muscles were slowly being torn apart inside his arm as he aimed to thrust his arm straight through the opponent while a flash of lightning erupted from point of contact. The hyper concentrated lightning aimed to rip clean through the bandaged villain and leave nothing but two halves of a body falling to the ground. The technique was shown to have worn Zeshin down a notable as panted while coming to a grinding halt in the opposite direction of there the opponent was facing. The sparks around his right arm then slowly died out as it fell down like a limp limb; bruised and blackened.
