Tashi was impressed the shinobi had resisted his technique, quite few can. But he was surprised how smoothly the shinobi engaged him and when he tried draw his blade he blocked the attempt! His sheat becoming prison for his blade unable to act! Then he felt more than saw the shinobi was behind him and then felt two fingers press on his neck....instant his body feeling paralyze up! He felt terror strike him when he feels his fingers slide from upside of Tashi's mask along his forehead. That sensation remind what once long time ago Maki said; enemy shinobis steal his technique by stealing his eyes. But when in truth his damn eyes were not source of the power but just manifestation when power awakened in him!<br/><br/>The terror send chill in him but he ignited inside his heart, center of his chakra folding center to draw just little breath in and then unleash fiery shock to break from paralysis! Resist the man's technique narrowly! He quickly thinked a counter for man's attack and he quickly crouches low, spins around low and then making blinding quick rising arching slash with one hand which spinned Tashi a two steps away from his foe! Performing<em>Zankenteki</em>, the hand-cutter. Not striking blindly; striking directly to man's joints in his hands and intending cripple him with a nasty cut if he had by any chance dropped his guard when he had approached Tashi to deliver dangerous paralyzing touch.<br/><br/>While standing after his wild spiralling slashing cut with unsheathed blade which shined by moonlight he looked with his red eyes on shinobi with mismatched eyes and replies; "A body is useless without training to harness it's potential. Eyes are useless without insight how to use knowledge and power what they deliver to you. If I would depend only on my body, I would be less than a genin. What your speaking about me being host....." hauntingly man's words somehow reflects on scary thoughts what Tashi had regarding technique what Maki had developed; a permanent mind swap jutsu where other mind overtakes a host's body permanently and subdues the original mind or removes it entirely. A technique which his village Daimyo is supposed to receive and has been on development a long time since he got the true red eyes of Mibu clan....<br/><br/><em>Where is the guard? I am drained in chakra here already! I think I have no tricks left to avoid his next attack if he decides finish me off!</em><br/><br/>Tashi felt his chakra reservoirs were very low, he could push himself but it would be suicidal in this encounter. He should withdraw and run if he can but his duty presses him to harass enemy until reinforcements arrive.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Tashi's rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tashi rolls fort save (+9 mod); 20 vs DC 19....narrowly made it!
