[indent]As Nazo was moving backwards, the air smelt of rushing. He was right. NAzo saw Seisui coming. In was all in one instant. From the Yagami's dashing-type motion backwards, he thought he would be able to create some form of distance between him and Seisui, but the Mayonaka had other plans, it seemed. The distance between them went from five or six feet to a mere three feet, and then that's when the Mayonaka went in for the kill, knowing full well that Nazo was at a disadvantage. Nazo noticed, and reacted.

The sounds that happen when steel meets steel at a high-octane speed happened. Nazo was able to slide, but his sword and Seisui's sword clashed. The way that NAzo avoided certain death was a split-second decision. It was literally at the last second. Well, maybe more a few seconds before, but still. Nazo had decided to circulate his lightning chakra around his body, but not in an offensive way. A trick that Nazo had picked up from his Shinobi friends was that to use one's chakra to alter their base performances to their advantage. What Nazo did was that he enabled his Lightning-based chakra to enhance his reaction timing along with his overall speed. The result of such an idea was a faster reaction on his side and even more so, being able to stay alive for a little bit longer. That's always a plus right?

Nazo, as he had his blade pressed against Seisui's, swerved his body to the right as he went under, allowed Seisui's momentum take him where it would take him, and simultaenously coated his blade with lightning chakra and focused it to the tip.He modified the Raikyu(Lightning Ball) technique to which he sliced upward as his body followed the momentum. The lightning ball would take form just two seconds before the contact as Nazo aimed for Seisui's sword arm.[/indent]
