Shinra watched as Ranta came out with two of three puppets. The third was curiously missing. He wondered what could have happened to it as Shinra watched Ranta trip over nothing. He lurched forward as if to try and catch the guy, but as they were placed so far apart from each other at the start it was merely a gesture of politeness. The eyepatch wearing genin could only sigh as he looked at Ranta. He seemed normally calm and collected, but was uncoordinated now.

When Ranta came forward and bowed with his puppets, Shinra did the same and took his hand by the wrist, giving him a much friendlier hand shake. "Yeah, you too. Best man wins and all." Shinra gave a smile to genin who covered his eyes. Shinra wasn't going to try any underhanded tactics like attacking during a handshake. So when Ranta leapt backwards, Shinra did the same and put himself further back from the enemy at hand.

Now was the time to start working. He looped several strands of wire between his fingers, a few times to make them feel safe so they couldn't garrote his own fingers. And with that set up, he started pulling wire out, letting the shadow cast down from the sun at the angle it sat upon hide his wires. WIth his arms spread out, it had his wires spread out before he wound his arms around in a wide arc, bringing his fingers together to start channeling and preparing his chakra.

This would also bring the wires around and wrap around trees along the edge of the field of battle, forming a little net to set up a preliminary defense. He didn't want to use any chakra yet and needed to see what Ranta was doing. While he prepared his chakra, his hands were in the snake handseal, ready to enact some jutsu if an attack came his way.
