The wind release Mizumi had originally formed was only the catalyst to a bigger plane by the intelligent snake. He clearly was in possession of fire release, easily spewing it out his mouth with little effort. The wind only strengthened the fire technique, and turned it into an attack that even he couldn't take head on. He was slightly confused now, and didn't know exactly what to do, realizing only that his Fan, in which was made to protect the user from fire release techniques, wasn't quite large enough to contain the vortex. This troubled him, so instead of fighting it he simply ran, and let it run its path as it charred the patches of grass several feet at a time. He had ran as most ninja ran, with his arms flared behind his back and his hands pointed towards the sky behind him. The vortex had picked up in speed quite a bit, and he hadn't known what he could do to stop it at this point, but soon he wouldn't have the time to think. Rouda was slithering in the grass around the vortex, and seemingly through it, which really caught Mizumi off guard.

"Is he fireproof?"

Was this what Ruchai meant by Demon Snakes, snakes forged in Jigoku itself? This whole aspect and realization was new to Mizumi, and he hadn't the slightest idea on how to combat Rouda now. At the moment rouda seemed to be closing some distance, slithering at great speeds to try and Catch Mizumi while he was running. Mizumi decided to play dumb, acting as if he didn't see the serpent closing in on him faster and faster by the second. It wasn't until Rouda lunged at Mizumi with his fangs drawn, snapping his long body to get as much force as possible. Mizumi simply Used his fan to guard,  Rouda's teeth sinking into the inital surface of it but wasn't strong enough to penetrate all the way through.

"Ha!"

Mizumi said, realizing that the snake was now in his clutches, utlizing his strength, he twisted his fan slightly, before doing somewhat of a handless cartwheel to create momentum in which he used to launch the snake from its fangs, far away from Mizumi, who had been panting slightly from it. The vortex of fire had been some distance away from the both of them now, and was dwindling in size as their actions transpired.
