Through the shielded men that Tarou had been given, his roots were the only thing now holding them at bay from coming up the temple stairs however, the pain screams filled the air as Tarou knew he was successful in his attempts to hold the enemy back and dwindle their numbers, even if it was a little bit, it was something. Though, it wasn't long as Tarou stood there trying to relax himself as well as his body, that a man holding a battle axe came into the fray with a path carved for him. Tarou hopped back a bit as he heard the commotion coming towards them and kept his eyes solely on the blockade. Watching him coming through and welcoming himself onto temple grounds.

The mere sight of the man didn't strike fear into the heart of Tarou however, he could tell that the man was built from war itself, a veteran of battle if you will. Thinking to himself "This could be a bit of a problem.." While he heard the man's words on how he doesn't like killing kids, Tarou said to him as a smile spread on his lips "Then this should be interesting, no?" Tarou was still trying to recover from his usage of his jutsu however, he knew he wouldn't be able to hold himself too long on his own with this. Here was hoping there was still some archers in the temple that took refuge in a safer location to fire from. Now was the time to fire if they could however, Tarou had to fight this beast of a man that loomed before him.

Standing up fully, he looked to the man that stood before him. Reaching his right hand back into his pouch, he gripped onto a smoke bomb and said lightly "Are you a gambling man?" Tarou waited for his response as the smile blunted anything that was thrown to him, at least in words. The smoke bomb was gripped in his hand as he gently pulled his hand out from the pouch and kept himself ready for the man to finally attack. Whatever way Tarou could stall was better so he was out of the fight since he seemed to be one of, if not their best fighter.
