In an attempt at blocking him, Nazo used Iaido to parry, but his maneuver was unsuccessful as Seisui had seen it coming. As such his blade would slide sideways, becoming aligned with Nazo's own slash even as the Mayonaka's sheath came up swiftly and slammed into the blade, deflecting it to the side with greater force even as Seisui's slash went from a vertical attack do a diagonal sweep from right shoulder to left hip. Thus the repetitive strikes would never occur and Nazo would never move to his position to utilized his Horizontal beheading, though Seisui would surely react quickly if he still managed to do so somehow.

Should his strike make contact and follow all the way through, Seisui would spin to his left, moving his sheath and blade outwards forming what amounted to a hurricane-like pattern as he spun to disable any attacks that Nazo might attempt during the maneuver. If that was successful, his actions would continue, though it would entirely depend on Nazo's reaction to his former assault.
