He was dead after the match, that's for sure. His mistake of not only falling down during a match, but it was his idea to have her cover the flag, something he knew for a fact was not what the samurai wanted to do. She was an attacker through and through, and the little frail ninja knew he made the biggest mistake as he watched her tie the flag around her neck, katakana in hand as she readied herself for a fight.

Ataru was happy about how protective she was towards them, it showed that she actually cared, but he also knew that she used that same energy of protecting them in wanting to beat them as well for mistakes. It was all out of love, of course, according to Emi-sensei. Having his clone take the hit, and Kushizu covering him, Ataru took that as a chance to dash off again towards the flag carrying Kana.

There was more distance between them now as Kana had a chance to make another run for it, but Ataru was still determined. With his electrically charged up shoes Ataru lunged towards his shinobi twin of Team 9 as shurikens came flying towards him. Ducking and dodging one, he quickly deflected the other with another pair of kunai. As he parried one of the shurikens he panicked, barely noticing the wire attached.

In a swift movement, this time more graceful than the last, Ataru pivoted as far as he could from the shurikens before tossing his kunai towards Kana. Again roaring, [color=919DBB]"Lightning Blade: Projectile Cutter!"[/color]
