When Maki called it, Tashi then breaks off the pressure and calmly he then sheaths his katana into it's scabbard. Hearing Maki's words he replies; "You praise me much, I guess the training in daimyo's guard is worth something. If not count that my time in the guard has otherwise been peaceful and participated only very few real missions but always with presence of another member of the guard." Tashi then massages spots where Maki had hit him with her blade and he replied; "But I see you have gained your Jounin rank quite well, when we last sparred you had not much in taijutsu but I now saw you have rather good moves there. Considering what I had heard you had quite neck deep spend time in research. But I guess three years is long time after all and anyone can change a lot in that time."
