As two of his shuriken made their mark, Akui noticed that they were on her right side and buried deep in her ribs. Not only would the hinderance slow her down, but for her to move would also be painful. He saw he draw a katana which made Akui think, why didn't she just use that to deflect them all rather than try to dodge so many. Akui did not expect her to have a katana. It seemed most genin he met liked the longer weapon. However, Akui was taught a lot about fighting not only different weapons but also how to defend against them. Akui being the oppressor was not going to allow her to simply place a tag on her back unless she could get to it. Akui slashed downward from left to right, then upward from right to left and then finally a straight thrust. All of this were attacks meant to be on the right side of her body which would make it even harder to defend against being that she had shurikens in her body. Akui would also pull out a tar bomb which he held just for the right moment. Suna would now be facing a swordsman up close and she wouldn't be able to perform a hand seal without risk of more injury. However there was a reason why Akui chose to stop her from making hand seals. He didn't know if she was powerful in ninjutsu even though his lightning might have beaten hers, Akui instead chose to play to his strengths. Spending countless hours in honing his skills with a blade, he felt confident that his skills surpassed hers. He based it on how she attempted to dodge the attacks rather than deflect them as many other opponents would have chosen deflect them.
