Moeru commended Hayato with his perseverance but only because he wanted Hayato to continue holding onto the strings as Moeru reeled him in. Hayato chose to struggle through to make his hands seals rather than attempt to fight in a different manner and thus, Moeru was able to close the gap between them. Unlike Hayato' s chakra string, Moeru had full control of how the snakes that were reeling in moeru could function, even pulling them wide apart to make it even more difficult for Hayato to use his hand seals.

Nevertheless, Moeru had to give it to him that he would still try to pull against the his own chakra strings in order to bring his hands together. When Hayato was within the half mark, Moeru acted with haste to finish the move he had baited Hayato into. Moeru leapt up using chakra in his calves towards Hayato as straight as an arrow quickly closing the gap between them faster than Hayato would be able to turn to face Moeru once more. Moeru would then open his mouth again and the same snake from before would reach out and strike for Hayato throat in order to stop him from breathing out his chakra and to emit poison all at the same time. Perhaps if Moeru had a greater distance of reeling in Hayato, Hayato's jutsu would have been effective. However, in a distance of only 10 yards, including the body twist and the rapid motion of the distance closing, Hayato would have little to no way of escaping now. In addition, if he was successful, there was no garuntee that hayato would push through and still spew fire from his mouth. If so, the ending result would both parties getting 2nd degree burns with moeru taking a bigger impact than hayato would. The reasons would be the close proximity between these two as a closing gap of 10 yards was way too close for either to escape without getting burnt.
