Maki raised her weapon to guard against the technique, but Tashi's assault broke through her guard. She moved to avoid the attack but was too slow, the blade struck solid against her body, propelling her upwards into the air. Her eyes went wide and she looked at the Mibu swordsman as she flew up in the air. 'A good technique...' She thought, 'A good technique...'<br/><br/>In the back of her mind, she wondered if he had ever picked up Kage Buyou... She fleetingly considered teaching him Konoha's follow-up technique Omote Renge before realizing that she was about to fall to the ground.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Maki spends 2 chakra and uses Shundou to avoid the attack.

He turned around, regarding the two young women and the now very large dog before her. Yasuo was there as well, jumping down from a roof to join his comrades with a smirk. The older man inhaled through his nostrils and brought his hand up to the front of his dark grey cloak, unclasping it and letting it fall to the ground.<br/><br/>He was dressed in an unassuming black ninja suit, complete with a shuriken holster, hip-pouch, and sandals. "There is something you bounty hunters should know..." The man smiled, lowering into a fighting stance,"I was trained by the great ninja village Sunagakure."<br/><br/>The wandering nin made a few handseals in rapid succession and then inhaled deeply. He leaned forward and blew out a large deep purple cloud of poison. Indeed, it was just like the puppet's attack three years ago.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">He rolls an 18 for initiative.
