Watching the Tsuchikage closely and listening, the Shade watched as he threw the shuriken. There was little time to consider the man's words while he made his defense, summoning two barrier rods into each hand and flicking his wrist in either direction. They flew down on an angle, he crouched, and preformed the necessary handseals all in the space of three seconds. The resultant technique created a pyramid shaped barrier which covered a relatively small space, keeping the kage inside itself. He weaved several more handseals as he began to speak, [color=#626262][b]"Rare is it that someone takes issue with me due to similarities. I find it is more often the [i]differences[/i]. In that way this scenario surprises me."[/b][/color] His gaze rose to meet the Tsuchikage's, [color=#626262][b]"Sadly that is the only way you've surprised me so far,"[/b][/color] with that he'd applied the generic sealing method onto his barrier via use of the fuin kakari(seal liking) and modification seal techniques.

His only issue now was mobility. To solve it he released the first of two chidori nagashi whilst still within the barrier. He allowed it to take in the electrical energies of the technique and store them within the four metallic barrier rods. He then released the second chidori nagashi, but focused the tendrils of electricity towards the rods themselves. Altering the charge of his chakra as he did so as well as shifting the orientation of the rods, he turned the barrier into a box whilst rising to his feet. The new shape afforded him the room to do so.
