Akira witnessed the opponent land and watched the boy jerk a shuriken out of his forearm. Yet… it seemed that the golden haired boy had completely forgotten about the water clone of Akira who still stood ready on the grass. It moved silently as Ryouta had dropped onto his knees and tried sneaking up behind the Genin before aiming to put Ryouta in a sudden chokehold. Now the clone didn’t have a lot of physical strength but the suddenness, and the fact that it used its weight and leaned back while aiming to strangulate, would still make it quite effective. And if Ryouta didn’t stop making handseals he’d most likely start passing out due to the pressure on the artery running up the left side of his neck.

This was, however, all but a set-up, or distraction even, as Akira had already formed a puddle of water in his cupped hands by the time that Ryouta pulled the shuriken from his arm. He had it reshaped  the puddle into a bow and arrow made of water and drew back on the luminescent string, reaching full tenseness just when the clone made its attempt, before letting go as he had one eye closed and honed in on Ryouta.

The darkness outside didn’t bother Akira as much as it did most people and was more than capable of finding his target, releasing his arrow to fly at high velocity. The projectile soared through the distance between the Genin  short time and aimed to bore itself into Ryoutas shoulder; possibly piercing the Genin and hitting the clone behind him.

If the clone had been avoided, Akira would shoot while Ryouta was distracted doing so. And if Ryouta had continued to make handseals while struggling with the clone then Akira’s arrow would aim to land after 5 or six seals. In case of the shockwave still coming through Akira would jump up high, and over it, while vaulting in mid-air; and from that position fired another arrow at Ryouta’s gut-section.
