After he had unfortunately landed near Kiku and Shizuka, it only took a few, short moments for Jaakuna to realize that what they were doing would have an immediate effect on him because of the fact that the golem had its knee blown up, a brilliant aftereffect of Jaakuna’s brilliant diversion. Yes, it was so brilliant that now the knee was coming for Jaakuna. Not only was it coming for him but, in no time was it aiming to crush his very body. So Jaakuna had to act on his feet. Or rather, act while [i]off[/i] his feet. As quick as his limbs would allow, Jaakuna would flip backwards, and propel himself about a meter back using his hiden. It was only a one-second usage of it, but that’s all that was required to escape certain death. The downside to it, however, was that Jaakuna felt even more pain from his shoulder. [color=goldenrod][i]Something is going on with that hiden of mine. Not the first time I’ve experienced some kind of double-edged sword-like effect when I used it.[/i][/color] Jaakuna did wonder if something was wrong with it. But, he wouldn’t have any time to worry about that because of what was happening in front of him. The blonde took to his feet and looked on as he only could while the golem, who in the process of regenerating the leg that Jaakuna so brilliantly helped destroy, punched down to the ground with the now destroyed flaming palm, which causes a lava reaction. And jaakuna’s own was basically a vocal, “oh shit” as he saw that a third of the ground they were on was now in the speeding evolution from solid, cold earth to liquid, hot [i]mag-ma[/i]. Additionally, a wave of lava was then sent towards Jaakuna’s, Kiku’s, and Shizuka’s general direction. Now was the time for Jaakuna to panic. But, as always, Shizuka had a plan. Though, he wasn’t quite sure what that plan was. Better let him show him, huh? As he would, however, Jaakuna noticed something rather interesting. Well, maybe two things that were interesting. Number one was, of course, the oddly-shaped prison-like barrier-esque thing around the back of the golem. That was the part that had some sort of battery or what looked like a battery, anyway. Number two was this feeling Jaakuna got form it. He couldnt’ say what exactly it was, but something told him he should get closer in front of the golem and away from that box. So, as he dodged rocks from the side and assuming the floor was lava, Jaakuna occasionally used his hiden when it wasn’t so much of a bother to get a good deal away from the boxed backside of the golem. He was a few paces away from Kiku and Kurin, though now the thing he - nay, [i]they[/i] - had to worry about was the remaining palm that was glowing bright with blue chakra and appeared to be something disastrous for all of them. They needed to work together, yes, but what could they do? The beam was charging rather quickly and there appeared to be a small window for them, so a strategy had to be thought of fast. “[color=goldenrod]Perhaps..[/color]” Jaakuna mused, looking at Kiku then over at to Kurin. “[color=goldenrod]If you can wet it, Kiku, I got just the thing that can give that palm a shock. It might even give us more time.[/color]” Jaakuna said to Kiku. Though he could feel his body starting to feel the effects from his usage of his hiden usage, he [i]might[/i] have enough chakra left for a few bursts of chakra. He wasn’t nearly as low as the other two, so that was fortunate. All he needed was for the palm to be soaked. As soon as it would, he’d start weaving the handsigns for his Electromagnetic Murder jutsu and do his best to aim the current towards the palm. If anything, the discharge of raiton chakra should be able to delay the charging of the beam long enough for them to devise a finishing strategy. Jaakuna should be able to launch it from the distance he and the others are at. [/indent][/color]
