Just like Grandpa Hashirama!”[/color][/cell][/row][row][cell][sup][color=#2E2C2C]_______________________________________________[/color][/sup] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/84/54/16/845416e02b47e83cb52a819de93c0045.jpg[/img][/cell][cell]

The tension in the air became so thick that Akira was almost able to physically feel it as he began to formulate a plan to attempt to save his teammate as his new sensei had apparently snapped at Ami, and her refusal to be entirely forthcoming. The revelation had not come entirely as a surprise to the Senju, given his base as a sensory ninja and his relative expertise in fuinjutsu. Akira knew that Ami had [i]something[/i] sealed within her. Though even despite the seal's strength he would never have presumed it to have been a tailed beast. This did not sway the young genin's mind in the slightest, Ami and Rashiku regardless of any new information that would come to light are his team, and must be kept from harm at all costs. But he had to be careful, and most importantly the plan he formulated must be smart. There was no way that the youngest present would be able to defeat a Jōnin directly. 

[color=teal][i]"That's it!"[/i][/color] he thought to himself as he observed the situation in the greatest detail he possibly could, given the stress of the conundrum he had found himself in. Whilst it was absolutely true he would not be able to directly defeat his sensei, and in all honesty given what he knew about the boy from the Mist he doubted he could even defeat Rashiku in order to save Ami; he could however prevent Takayuki-sama from blowing up the whole building. With the genin and himself still inside. Part of Akira had deduced that this all had to be a bluff, or that his sensei would be so fast on his feet or possess some kind of space-time ninjutsu to escape the blast. Surely no Jōnin would actually sacrifice themselves to kill three genin, just because one was a Jinchuriki? Akira had heard stories of the bijuu, and their immensee power. But he had also heard tales of brave shinobi taking them on in pitched battles. His own grandfather being one such individual, whilst Takayuki-sama would absolutely have been no match for the first Hokage, Akira was confident that with his murderous presence that he would be more than capable of performing such a feat. 

Beginning to infuse his chakra to both the water and earth tenketsu as subtly as he could so as to avoid detection in the event that his sensei were a sensory type such as himself, which the boy doubted; Akira continued holding his breath. Feigning fear and attempting to keep his master's gaze from him. Although much of the fear he displayed was in fact genuine. Before long, Akira felt that he was ready. As swiftly as he could, the Senju boy clasped his hands together with his index and middle fingers pointing upwards and formed the Ram seal, before transitioning on as swiftly as he could through the Ox, Boar and Snake seals. As he performed these motions, the necessary chakra he had infused merged with the earth in the foundations beneath Takayuki-sensei's home and erupted upwards, enveloping the vase which was allegedly filled with explosive tags in a thick wooden prison. Smiling confiidently as he stood in place still brandishing the Ox seal, funnelling more and more of his chakra into the prison to thicken it's walls Akira felt triumphant, and kept his eyes locked on his sensei. 

[color=teal]"Rashiku, don't let him hurt her! We can do this as a team!"[/color] He stated nervously as his legs began to shake ever so slightly, though not that any of them would have noticed.
