As if like the flick of a wrist, Kurin, though he seemed reluctant to admit it, was forced to give up leadership to Jaakuna because of the simple and pure fact that, out of all of them, Jaakuna was the only one with the means to light it up. But, of course, as Kiku mentioned, Jaakuna was impulsive. Usually he took that as a compliment, but the way she worded didn’t make that sound like it. Still, he let it go because that’s what a leader did. They thought the better of the team. He was trying to figure out exactly what to do. He took the advice of his team to heart. He was probably their best asset against the golem when it was activated—if it activated. Jaakuna wasn’t clear on the details, but one thing he knew was that he had to think long and hard. Weigh out the options and try to come up with a plan of action. You’re a man of action, Jaakuna Hinoko. You’re a proud man of the Hinoko Clan. You’re the one who has the strongest display of your clan’s hiden technique. If anyone can think of a way to solve this with the least amount of collective fatigue and or damage, it’s you. After all, you want to be a jonin, don’t you? Well prove it; prove you think of a decent course of action. It’s your time to man up. Make up for that shameful screaming in the previous room. “[color=goldenrod]You. Are. The. Man. You got this. You feel great! You. Can. Do. This.[/color]” Oh, did he say that out loud? Whoops. Jaakuna shook it off, looking at his team. It seems two of them—Windseeker and Cloud Eyes—already took the initiative. “[color=goldenrod]Well fuck me.[/color]” Jaakuna shrugged, then looked to Kurin. “[color=goldenrod]Make sure we don’t die, kay?[/color]” He gave him a smile and took the unoccupied hole on the left. He glanced towards Shizuka and Kiku, giving them the a-okay. “[color=goldenrod]On three. One, two, three![/color]” when he gave the command, each of them would input their own chakra, equally distributing it throughout the three mechanisms. At this point, they could only pray for the best and prepare for the worse. [/indent][/color]
