  It was at this point that Akui felt nervous. He looked back to Kelton who only shook his head. It was clear this was Akui's problem and his fight alone. Whether he died or not, Kelton wasn't in the middle of any of this. Akui took a deep breath and began to weigh his options. He couldn't use lighting because of the rain and if he tried to body flicker to him, there was a good chance he might slip in the mud. Akui took a deep breath then held his ninjato with two hands downward to the right. Using the chakra under his feet, he stabilized himself to run towards Mamoru. He screamed out loud with rage but before he could even get close to him, Mamoru spun his body to the left then extended his arm. The blade swirled around his body and it was perfectly timed to catch Akui as he gotten too close. Akui did not expect him to be able to move so fast. He was lucky enough to be able to react to it by doing a cartwheel to the left. When he landed back on his feet, he leapt back then placed a hand to his cheek. When he looked at his hand, he saw blood which made him shiver for a moment. When he looked up, he had to quickly move his head to the left then right then jump back a few feet as Mamoru's last strike went for his chest. Mamoru then leapt into the air as Akui did in order to bring his blade down on him. As Akui landed, he tumbled to the left to escape the incoming blade. He quickly got to his feet then body flickered onto a tree limb to catch his breath. He couldn't believe that someone with such an long awkward looking weapon could move with such grace and ease. Akui was going to have to rethink his approach. "Let is go Akui, I don't want to have to kill you...even if you might have deserved it." Akui grew angry with remark. His grip on his blade increased to the point the White of his knuckles began to show. Akui leapt from the tree limb. He held the ninjato out at shoulder height then pulled his arm back quickly to make the weapon twirl. While still in the air, he leaned his body to the right so he would be sideways then kicked the handle of the ninjato. The blade flew towards Mamoru spiraling and gaining speed. It was aimed directly at his chest but Mamoru was a skilled fighter and easily deflected the tanto by waving his nodachi in front of him downward from left to right. Meanwhile Akui had rotated his body back to pointing at Mamoru while his hands were creating seals Tiger → Boar → Dog → Tiger. Mamoru didn't have enough time to bring his weapon back to block nor could he as wires quickly ensared him. Akui landed a few feet behind him and pulled the wire tight. Mamoru cried out in pain as thin wire was cutting into he skin through sheer force. Yet it was not enough to kill him and Akui's blade had been knocked away about 15 feet away in front of him. Akui looked past the dripping water from his hair to see the blade sticking into the ground by the blade. He knew if he let go of him, there was a good chance that Mamoru would catch him before he managed to his weapon.
