After the attacks, Seth flew through the air and flopped onto the ground. However, Seth suddenly changed into what looked like a manikin made of dirt and stone. the earth opened up where Seth had crashed down before the fight and Seth climbed out of the hole. He sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck. 

“Damn Rin. If I knew you hated me this much I’d just train with Izu,” Seth said as he sighed and shock his head as he added, “I suggest we take a break and cool our heads.” Seth sighed again. He knew he wasn’t t going to win. Rin had an answer for everything he threw at her and it seemed he might have hit a chord in the beginning of the battle. However, it wasn’t a total waste. He was able to come up with a strategy and not run into the battle hot headed. Admitting defeat wasn’t something he liked, but since this was training, he could understand a strategic withdraw.

“You win Rin,” Seth said. He didn’t like admitting it and he knew somewhere down the road she’d probably remind him about, but at that moment: staying in that hole made his muscles and joints ache. Trying to maintain the Rock Manikin, Shadow Clone, and various nature animals he created caused his chakra to be low. He had enough to go for another few rounds, but he had to be smart about his decisions. The fact of the matter was: he needed to change everything about his battle tactics.
