Seth’s clone disappeared in a puff of white smoke as Seth watched in amazement as Rin appeared out of the smoke unharmed. [i]I knew she was good, but damn it. I might have bitten off more than I can chew, but I’m not giving up yet[/i]. Seth thought as he smiled. He needed a way out otherwise the two clones would flank him and Rin would get the wining strike. He hadn’t thought about using his rock bitter as a means to escape but it was that or get the crap beaten out of him. 

“Rock Bitter!” Seth yelled as he slammed his hand onto the ground. The shark erupted out of the ground under Seth giving him a boost into the air. As soon as it pushed Seth from the ground it crumbled, leaving a pile of rocks on the ground. Seth quickly created hands signs before shouting, “Earth style: rock pillar justsu.” Pillars of earth rose up from the ground as Seth stepped on them to get a few feet away from Rin and her clones. Being on the defensive wasn’t something Seth liked, but he needed to create space between Rin and her clones. He landed in front of a small pond, but as he landed he slipped and fell on his back. He quickly got up and sighed.

“Well that was a thing, however,” Seth said as he looked at the pond behind him before he shook his head and added, “this is what I get for opening my big mouth.” He didn’t want to exhaust all his charka but Rin seemed to pull all the stops so he had no choice. He quickly made a few hand signs before yelling, “Earth style: Rock Viper Jutsu.” The earth around Seth began to slither like a snake as the cobra made of earth rose up round Seth and hissed. However, the snake was much smaller than before since he had used so much chakra. The snake was three feet tall and moved sluggishly like his chakra keeping it together was wavering. There was also bits of rock falling off it's body. A beat of sweat rolled down Seth forehead. [i]Damn it, even if I can come up with a good strategy, my charka pool is limited[/i]. Seth thought.
