[indent]Nazo’s attack was fast, powerful, and it failed. Dammit, it failed and Nazo only had a few seconds in-between the time that his attack was launched, to the initial contact with Seisui’s blade right up until the part that the Mayonaka had launched a counter-attack and boy wasn’t a freaking close call. Nazo didn’t know how he would, but in the motions that followed, he found himself only being able to escape certain death. He would be able to, somehow, twist his body as Seisui’s blade came in at his heart. The god’s of fate were with Nazo this time, but how many lucky breaks can he get? In any case, he was able to just walk away with a mildly threatening cut on his back as he had positioned his body to such that the sharp edge of Seisui’s blade would slide against his back, but that wasn’t a perdiciment that Nazo would prefer to find himself in.

Nazo knew that this battle would start getting super serious just cause of the lengths that these two are going. Nazo actually using one of his chakra-based attacks, and Seisui resorting to whatever he did. [b]“You know, you’re really good, Seisui of clan Mayonaka. It’s too bad that you’re going to lose this fight. I would much rather win and have you alive so I can fight you another day.” [/b]Nazo said as he, with his free hand, took off his shirt, leaving his upper-body bare. As seen by anyone with eyes, scars all over his body could be seen. The years he had been fighting have been shown and imprinted into his body. [b]“I think we should take off the kiddy gloves, what say you, Mayonaka, Seisui?”[/b] Nazo said as he took his Iaido stance, preparing the ultimate stance for whatever Seisui had to throw at him.[/indent]
