Silently watching as their sensei instructed them and then told them to hide, Chou decided that this time it would be best to do as she was told, seeing that disobeying her sensei may not be at her best interest right now. They had a goal of taking down the bandits, and as much as she hated to think about it, if they worked seperatly then it would be bad for all of them.

She listened from a spot on a tree, hiding on a high branch which concealed her behind the many leaves. The moment she heard the bandits chasing her sensei, Chou prepared her medium scroll, but she waited. As soon as she saw Mika arrive and do the signal, she stood up on the branch and before she could do her move, she saw Haruhi come out and manage to grab three of the bandits with a cable, keeping her still and ensuring they remain still. Deciding now is the right time, she threw her medium scroll into the air and did the Tiger, Ram and Monkey seals, which made several kunai, shuriken and senbons to be thrown at the trapped bandits. 

Grabbing her small scroll, she opened it and made a kusarigama appear after pressing her hand on it. Quickly closing her scroll and seeing her medium scroll stopped throwing weapons, she jumped, grabbed her medium scroll and placed it on her back before turning to see one of the bandits coming at her, trying to strike her with a kunai from behind. The bandit managed to scratch her arm, and in retaliation Chou threw her kusarigama at him, and while he tried to dodge, she managed to catch the bandit's leg and make an all around deep wound in his leg after pulling the weapon back to her. The bandit fell down to the ground, hissing at the new wound but quickly made an attempt to stand up again before seeing the young girl throw the kusarigama at him, this time piercing his arm as he tried to roll over and dodge the weapon. Now Chou did not let him go and instead begin trying to pull him upwards, only to be thrown back on the back after the bandit managed to pull the weapon out of his arm. He quickly threw a couple of kunai at her which she managed to block using the chain of the kusarigama. 

Looking around, she wondered where was their last teammate and if he was about to lend a hand or just ignore their sensei's order completely, which she thought was something idiotic to do at this time.
