The boss was impressed with Riku’s potential, but there was one factor the young boy disregarded, and it was the potential the boss possessed. Riku had successfully followed up on his wild water wave by creating 2 water clones at opposite points from the boss. They then attempted to grab the boss by his arms and attempted pull them back so he would be restrained. But during the time they attempted this, he still fought for his balance and footing, being able to land it perfectly. Before the water clones were able to bend his arms to a point where he wasn’t able to use them, the boss had placed his footing in place and began to fight back. Yes, this had intervened with his plans and movements, but the boss was more than physically capable of overpowering two water clones with physical strength alone. Before he was at the angle the clones tried to place his arms at, he fought back and pushed them. He battled and used his own physical prowess to overpower them and push them away from his position. The moment he did this he wasted no time and pushed chakra into the ground and changed the earth structure into fine sand. Doing this he slipped underneath also dodging any potential attack Nanalu had planned.

If Riku really believe that holding him down with mere water clones would be enough, he was gravely mistaken. Not to mention he hadn’t received a concussion he just needed to adjust to the pain, at this point his adrenaline was also pumping which allowed him to push through the pain and continue the battle. After entering the ground and using the hole as a drainage for the puddle of water that formed, he used it to travel underground, attempting to appear directly underneath Nanalu. Doing this he would attempt to pull his hands out of the ground and attempted to pull her underneath as well. Doing this he would pretty much be using headhunter jutsu. If successful Nanalu would be immobilized due to the earth surrounding her with it's sturdiness. This all happened quickly as Nanalu would need to be on her A game to notice this happen as the boss attacked the moment she attempted her assistance towards the water clones.

Takahiro would still finish his battle and followed with the same motions of backing Riku up. Riku would not be able to follow his attack as the boss had escaped the grasp of his clones before they fully restrained him. Not to mention Nanalu had possibly been dealt with as the boss was still underground plotting his next attack. He then followed up with using the same tactic presented before. He created two rock clones once more from the ground which would rise leaving a hole behind presenting a ‘fake route’ to confuse the opponent and make it seem like the rock clones had the potential of being the real boss. They stood there and looked in the direction of Takahiro and Riku as the boss was no longer speaking and meant business.

Underneath the ground the boss followed up by using the sensing technique to catch the small signature of chakra the weakened members of the recon team emitted. He did this as he refused to let his prisoners escape. Though finding them would require some time, the boss remained underground and had the rock clones do his bidding while he searched for the prisoners.

The rock clones would take action as by this point Riku might be drained of chakra or running low. The boss was just more experienced and and technical with his combos, it was now for the boss to show Riku what he can actually do. One rock clone dashed forward attack Takahiro once more with a powerful tackle. As for Riku, the rock clone would leap into the ky following behind the first with a dash as well, leaping into the sky he himself attempted an axe kick, the foot coming down in a vertical formation aiming to land on Riku’s head. If successful it would hit Riku hard enough to knock him out and give him a serious concussion. The boss was no longer playing games and had decided to turn his effort up a notch. If everything went according to plan, only person who would be standing strong would be Takahiro as Riku would be unconscious and Nanalu would be capture. That is if everything ended up being successful.
