Hanama watched as Yang leaped into action, only after first provoking Hanama who only glanced at the kid. Hanama glared ahead as Ichijama and Yang clashed. While the assault was still in progress, Hanama broke into a sprint and dashed diagonally of the two where he could get a side-view of exactly what was happening. He let go of his katana and grabbed it again with his left hand, while his right slid down to grab a hold of his weapon's sheath. His eyes focused solely on the two of them, everything else seemed to be lost to Hanama's sight. The trees, Nene, the ground, the birds, and everything else. Slowly, Hanama began to unsheathe his katana until a good three inches of its blade was exposed. Hanama was set in a proper kenjutsu stance, as if prepared to slice anything down in front of him.

Ichijama, although occupied with Yang, if she took the time to notice Hanama she would notice a pecularity. His chakra was beginning to increase exponentially. He was only a genin, so his chakra wasn't strong enough to visibly show but something was catching fire within him. He had frozen solid in place. He was preparing for something, but from an outside point of view it was hard to really tell what exactly he was doing.

This was Hanama's best technique with the sword, the Cut of the Dark Hound. But it was only in its initial stage, he needed to gather his chakra before he could create his lethal cut. He didn't care who or what would cross his blade, but he would cut down these two pains in his side or else he would risk his pride.
