Kei was soon to find out just the confidence of a man who knew he was about to die, and just what that meant. For as the unprecedented fire was unleashed upon these two struggling bandits, it did nothing to hinder their progress as much as their screams only grew louder. They only charged on, clothes ablaze and skin red like two asura full of divine wrath. Their progress unhindered, their target was still Yasu... rather it would have been if Kei didn't step down from his position in the carriage and right in front of them. Still, little time had yet passed and with such a thing their charge was not yet hindered by the coursing electricity that was beginning to show its steps as their legs half-assedly stumbled wildly to the two.

Even with the inclusion of the snakes biting at the two men's throats, such a poison would perhaps take far too long to take action when just a second was all that was needed now to close the charge. As such, they only continued on in their fiery blaze. With Kei stepping in front and keeping himself a still and open target while using the Shadow Snake Hands technique, he'd be easily impaled as two swords rammed themselves into the brief spaces between Kei's clavicle and scapule. The continuing force as the man slowly fell apart from ungodly pains and muscle spasms even threatened to land the swords upon Yasu and land both against the carriage as originally would have happened.

Just some feet off, Takuza was still dealing with the ninja that had been trying to fight him. While the one below and still on the ground had not been looking directly into Takuza's eyes, the jōnin's face and eyes were still within sight causing the shinobi to be perpetually locked into the effects of the sharingan's genjutsu. But what Takuza pehraps did not forsee in this short time frame was simply physics or more specifically inertia, with this bandit still in motion he was still going to continue until an equal an opposite reaction stopped it.

In this case, this was Takuza's own stomach. The blade upon entering would perhaps cause immense pain, in some recountings of seppuku which involved a similar injury, a samurai would ask to beheaded in the process given just how painful the process was. But as it ruined Takuza's stomach and only gained purchase some inches within, the force was lost as it met its match and its energy let loose as the bandit in question had long since lost conscience and fell slack to the ground.

The other bandit who had attempted to dropkick Takuza was rather unsuccessful and as such fell to the ground haphazardly before trying to collect himself and picking himself back up as this process went down. Meanwhile, the bandits from the other side of the caravan began to move as the largest of them snapped from his paralysis and raged with a might roar.

An equal amount of three of them went about each side, the largest being supported by two of his peers came from the backside while the rest of the others came from the front side. Each one raised their swords as they surveyed the situation, each point directed center forth before the leader of their troupe gave a signal and the six charge on each side of Yasu and Kei since they were the closest targets.

However, the guards above suddenly snapped into action seeing how quickly the tides of battle changed. The two jumped down from the roof with naginata pointed in front of them as they both took to each other's backs in front of the children. The charge stopped dead in its tracks. The guards thrust their spears at the men in question, although parrying on both sides left little room for a difference. Given the width of the blades and nimble movements of these guards, they had momentarily stopped the charge but as the 6 men began to spread out... thing were going to get more tricky.
