[center] Two weeks ago[/center]

The trip to Amegakure was very productive, under Tsukiko's leadership and with Rin's knowledge of the area. They were able to make a effective plan to stall and confuse the enemy while the statue team would deal with the statue. Atleast he hoped it would be effective, but no plan is perfect so all he could do was hope things would work out. Tsukiko's training regime started the moment they returned, or as Kazuki liked to call it the two weeks of hell. He had always strifed to keep himself in top physical condition, but Tsukiko showed him how much he still had to improve upon. But besides the physical conditioning, he really liked the way Tsukiko approached the way of fighting shinobi. Kazuki also liked to finish his fights quickly and effeciently, taking out his enemies by any means necessary. So the trapping and ambushing skills would come in handy for him since it complimented his fighting style. He didn't completely become the killing machine she probably meant him to become, not that he has problems killing his enemies, but he preferred to use non-lethal options if possible.

Kazuki was standing amongst the crowd, using a henge no jutsu to blend in. As the statue occupation team moved in, the crowd started to panic which turned into terror and caused them to flee when the first jutsu started was thrown around. He kept following the crowd for a few moments in order to stay hidden as long as possible. They were too late to intercept the first couple of enemies, but the statue occupation team was able to deal with them. As the first enemy landed, Takashi was allready on him. Kazuki was about to jump in, but Takashi was able to deal with the first wave himself. He was slightly suprised by how easily Takashi killed his opponents, but then again they were trained for two weeks for it. [color=00a99d][I]”Judging by the area where he got hit, it could mean a broken rib and possible ruptured spleen or stomach.”[/I][/color] Kazuki flinched as a bo staff connected with Takashi's ribs. [color=00a99d][I]”Due to the lack any signs of pain, he is either faking it or he has a very high pain tolerance”[/I][/color] He figured as Takashi rushed the last enemy, atleast for now.

Seeing as more enemies were on their way, Kazuki made a kage bunshin (shadow clone) after he had dropped his henge. Kazuki pulled out a kunai and a senbon while his shadow clone started weaving handseals. He launched the kunai and senbon at the same time towards the enemy furthest back, the senbon travelled in the shadow of the kunai, hiding it until it would be too late. Just as Kazuki released his weapons, his clone finished the seal for his Magen: Narakumi (demonic illusion: Hell viewing technique), putting the same target under a genjutsu. “Do you really think a simple genjuts..” The man started yelled as he had quickly noticed the genjutsu and cancelled it before he noticed the kunai allready really close to him. Using his reflexes the man was just able to catch the kunai, but he didn't notice the senbon until it was too late. A flash of panic crossed the mans face as he realised that he would be unable to dodge the senbon, but he was able to shift slightly in order to prevent the senbon from hitting a pressure point. But unbeknownst to him, the paralytic poison on the senbon needle had allready started to spread through his bloodstream. “Seems your little plan failed.” The man laughed as he pulled out the senbon from his neck. 

Ignoring the man's response, Kazuki's shadowclone charged in to engage the man in close combat while Kazuki rushed towards Takashi. All the shadowclone had to do was distract the man for seconds until the poison spread enough to slow him down and eventually paralyze him. [color=00a99d]”Takashi-san, I need to check the extend of damage that the bo staff could have done.”[/color] Kazuki said as he reached Takashi, allready activating his shôsen no jutsu (mystical palm technique).
