[b]Konoha Team 7 Kensuke Nimatsu[/b] As the bandits kept their distance, not daring to try Kensuke's skill with the sword after having been hit by his killing intent, Kensuke checked on how his team was doing. At a quick glance it seemed as if they were standing their ground, but he saw Hayate's leg envelopped in metal, Shisen grasping her leg, and Ezuri kneeling while bandaging his own leg, and felt a feeling of disappointment. These were bandits. Not shinobi. He didn't know exactly what had been going on, but as far as he could tell his team had failed the most basic laws of working in a team. Working together. Only now that they were wounded, on the verge of collapsing, they started performing as a team. A moment long he hesitated, and decided to help the genin. Originally he was only supposed to guide the team, and not do the mission for them, but in this case letting them fight the mission would probably permanently cripple one of them. After a quick estimation he concluded he was fighting half of the bandits, and they were fighting the other half. Once he'd have dealt with this bunch, he'd go help the others. A sound in front of him put his awareness to the test and made him parry a spear as he swirled around to face those in front of him, noticing they gathered courage and charged him at the same time, intending to drive him against a tree and slaughter him like they did to Ezuri. Frowning he stored chakra in his blade, a large amount, and executed a stronger version of his Falcon Blade attack, and released it in a large horizontal sweep, sending a devastating air cut towards the approaching bandits, one that travelled as fast as he swung his blade. The bunch of non-shinobi warriors stood no chance as most were mutilated by the lightning fast attack, since the short range prevented them from doing much against it. The slinger stone sent towards him found its trajectory altered as Kensuke parried the stone, and coated a shuriken in wind chakra, sending it right through the man's chest, into the tree behind him. The battlefield on his end was filled with screaming as the men bled out, most having been entirely or nearly entirely cut in half by their lower chests, but there were two who had escaped relatively unscathed, and Kensuke leapt at them, taking both down in two quick sword strikes, leaving the rest to bleed out. Turning towards the group the genin were fighting, he leapt forwards using wind chakra to propell him even faster and used his momentum along with the flying sparrow technique to land right next to the group of genin, cutting the man with the sickle in half, before continuing the motion he had began with his sword to fluently parry a spear aimed at Ezuri. He made a circular movement with his sword, dragging the spear along with it before grabbing it right after the tip, and giving a strong yank on it, making his opponent fall over as he held on to the weapon.
