[center][B][U]Tetsujin, Iyana[/U][/B][/center] The RPM of her chakra reaching the optimal point for her purpose, Iyana soared higher and higher till she was several hundred meters above the Shukaku. As she began to taper off her descent she watched Keiko's roots and Izari's tentacles bind the massive beast. Even as they did Remi's fireball hit and so the beast was thoroughly distracted. Smirking at this, Iyana figured her angle of attack just so and then began to dive bomb towards the ground, flattening her chakratic wings along her back. The wings would temporarily shrink as she pumped more chakra into her katana. Descending rapidly, Iyana neared the Shukaku's a few meters above the Shukaku's left arm moments after the fireball had hit. At this she called out the technique, activating one of her newer jutsu, [B]"Dōki junkan(同期循環 'Synchronous Circulation')!'[/B] Suddenly the majority of her chakra cloak would mould around her katana, and then expand becoming a great sword that was at least three times the size of her own body. Then the blade's chakra would synch with the chakra within her katana and a high pitched humming would be heard by all within a half a mile as she sliced at an angle with her chakratic blade, solidifying it as it made contact with the Shukaku's left arm and cutting diagonally all the way through it. However she didn't stop there, instead she continued to plummet, her wings barely unfurled as she then sheared through the Shukaku's left leg carrying her momentum throughout before she snapped her wings open and swooped back upwards, the massive blade fading as her wings formed. She was out of breath and she knew that she'd only be able to pull a lesser version of that technique off maybe once before she'd be dead tired. As she leveled out, landing on the ground and reabsorbing the chakra from her cloak, she saw Izari nearby, but despite her pride she leaned on a nearby tree. She wasn't done, but she'd nearly exhausted her reserves. [B]"Hehe, bet Keiko can't do that,"[/B] she stated, smirking even as she took in deep breaths, directing her comment at Izari. Her attack would likely prove especially effective as the beast would have some trouble trying to reform its lost limbs since her lightning chakra had been infused through the blade, afterall the beast was made from sand, and sand was technically earth, which was weak to lightning. Still, on the inside she considered herself lucky, as while she was certainly skilled, things had luckily been optimal for her to preform her maneuver. She was just happy that she'd managed to do some damage. [center][B][U]Reitemu, Shijima[/B] – [I]Tsuchi no hokkyokusei[/U][/I][/center] Watching as the beast was bound, Shijima waited for his chance, beginning to knead his chakra through the earth where the Shukaku's feet now stood. Then it happened, Iyana, a girl he had seen briefly in a few previous battles, managed to shear off two of the bijuu's limbs, providing him with the perfect opportunity to finish incapacitating the bijuu till the Empress arrived or the Queen could deal with it. Slamming his foot down on the ground, Shijima sent a shockwave through the earth beneath the Shukaku and as its body fell down due to its lack of leg, a massive sinkhole formed beneath it, pulling its remaining leg under ground and then solidifying and sending spiked formations of earth into the beast's body. Shijima intended to incapacitate the beast from the inside out whilst simultaneously disallowing it use of its remaining leg. He wasn't sure how successful the maneuver would be though. Still, at least for the moment the Shukaku would have lost access to at least three of its limbs.
