Michirama had successfully knocked Akui back before he could close in, however, he had no accounted for a Tar Bomb which now left him partially immobilised, he was not concerned, however, as this would be a relatively simple trick to escape from. For starters he began to concentrate carefully, activating the sensing technique to keep a pinpoint track on Akui as the boy began his next assault. Secondly as Akui began to approach, Michirama slashed in a downward diagonal aimed to hit Akui square on. As the swing progressed, Michirama would focus more chakra into the flying swallow technique which would effectively cause his blade to grow until it reaches a good 5 meters in length, the idea was to force Akui to momentarily shift his movement or if he got lucky, catch his with the surprise growth of his sword leaving him with terrible gashes. Still keeping track of Akui with his sensing technique, Michirama would wait until he was nearing his rear before making the handseals; Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake in rapid succession.

There would be a puff of smoke at the last minute and should Akui follow through with his attempted strike he would certainly hit something. A LOG! Michirama had used the Body Replacement Technique to escape both the tar bomb trap and Akui's rear strike. As the Body Replacement quite literally replaced the user with another object it didn't require actual movement of the user as they were simply swapping with another object this meant that Michirama was no longer connected to the Tar stuck to the ground. Michirama would reappear a good 20 meters or so from Akui in the branches of a nearby tree. Before Akui could properly collect himself Michirama would make the Tiger handseal and vanish from his position, in reality, he had used the Body Flicker technique to speed his body up to untraceable levels and reappeared directly behind Akui, and, using the momentum of the body flicker, would slam his scabbard into the back of AKui's head right where the skull meets the spine if successful this would knock him out all most instantly if it didn't momentarily paralyse him.
