The Jounin smiled, "You're right. It's best to enjoy things while they last..." She let her hand rest on his body for a little while longer, "Your kenjutsu is good... But there's something you should know about 'Kunoichi no Jutsu.'"<br/><br/>She was fast, moving to fight the youth unarmed. She left him an opening, clear as day, and then side-stepped to carry his wrist up to the small of his back, an attempt to finesse the stronger fighter into a more favorable position. But for all her speed and grace, Tashi was still strong and fast himself. Her hold on him was tenuous, the attempt to keep him subdued wouldn't have been so difficult for him to turn the tables on."Don't let your guard down."<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">Tashi gains 2167 XP.<br/>Maki rolls a 20 plus modifiers on her touch attack! Provokes an attack of opportunity if Tashi will take it! (Remember, an attack of opportunity doesn't need to be a strike. It could be a disarm, trip, bull rush, ect.) ...But given that an attack of opportunity requires one to deal damage in order to cancel a grapple, you'd need to either damage her or do something that would otherwise invalidate her attempt; trip/bull rush/counter(?) grapple.<br/><br/>As an aside... remember when I said Maki's turn-ons include being overpowered? ;)<br/><br/>Or did I say that...?<br/><br/>She rolls an 11 on her grapple check.</div></div><hr/><br/>"Much better for me?" One the remaining clones replied, "You say you're trying to take me in, but I know you're just a<strong>hit squad!</strong>"<br/><br/>"Sarutobi no Jutsu!" Came Suzume's voice from behind him as she was catapaulted into the air. Forming handseals, the sparrow Ninja cried out, "Gufuuran no Jutsu!"<br/><br/>Once she completed the technique, she twirled around in a blur, a sliding tornado-like whirlwind arcing down towards the clones. It struck the ground amid them all and kicked a great cloud of dust because of the downwards angle of the attack. When the dust cleared, the clones were all gone... except there was also a small wooden cabinet that had been sliced into pieces from the attack.<br/><br/>"It was substitution!" Yasuo cried out, weariness infiltrating his voice. The object obviously came from the house that he was standing on top of. It was likely an effort to protect himself from Jun's lightning techniques.<br/><br/>"He's hiding inside." Suzume said as she landed harmlessly beside Jun and whirled around with a tired smile, "I don't think he's just going to surrender, Jun."<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">Hope you weren't wondering why he didn't make a move action last round...  ::)</div></div>
