Welcome to Gaia! ::

There wasn't much that Marciel had to his disposal. His blade was currently out of his reach, back at home, which meant he had his limited range of taijutsu and skills at his disposal. He couldn't pull off anything spectacular at this point in time, and so, he'd have to rely on his wits. There were four of them, five if Akisame would ever show. He moved quickly, moving to the left, to circle about Edegaru. Marciel knew little of hand signals, but he knew his base techniques well enough. He dashed in, preparing to plant his fist square into the Anbu's back.

Rawth stood loose and calm he opened his eyes wide and analyzed him thoroughly. He tried to predict movements based upon his opponent being a member of the Hyuuga . Hebreathed in and then out, and readied his hands. "Im ready..."

He wasn't really surprised when he had been intercepted. Marciel's speed was good, but it wasn't the best that one could do. Once his fist was firmly within the Anbu's grasp, the student felt his feet leave the ground, the world spinning about him. He didn't have much choice in the matter when it came to this, but the boy's body began to liquify, the kick passing through water. Regardless, he still ended up upon the ground.
"Saved my a** again..." he mumbled to himself, as he moved to plant his own foot in the impromptu-instructor in the gut.

Edegaru saw as his feet hit the water. He knew of the young ninja's abilities and was glad that he utilized them in this way. He saw the brown haired ninja attempt a flying kick from above. Edegaru used this attack from behind to his advantage. As Marciel's kick came to Edegaru's torso, he leaned a bit to the left while moving his right shoulder back letting the kick make no contact. As this happened, Rawth's flying kick went past him and unless it was countered, it would land directly on Marciel's chest.

Kenji appeared a few feet above the Anbu and rapidly threw 4 kunai at his shoulders and another 4 at his legs, but not only that. He used the velocity to his advantage and threw a blow that contained chakra to his head strong enough to damage but light enough to maneuver. "hsss!" Escaped as Kenji threw the blow.

Edegaru then looked up to see Kenji and eight kunai coming towards him. He acted fast. Using the gauntlet on his right arm, he swatted away the first four kunai that came to his shoulders then the four that came to his legs. They bounced off the armor with the sound He then ducked and spun in place counterclockwise and as he did, he brought up his left leg. His heel would connect with Kenji's face and his punch would not reach Edegaru.

Rawth was a little upset. In in instance what was thought to be Rawth puffed into smoke. High in a near by tree was Rawth. He had used his trump card so to speak. He couldn't help but think that his ally was a hindrance. "Damn" he thought. "My plan didn't work out so well...but maybe if....." Rawth sprang from the tree, and quickly dashed for Edegaru. He realized that this was a team effort, and despite the black haired ninja's efforts Rawth knew he wouldn't make the hit. Rawth quickly jumped in the air and grabbed one of the reflected kunai in the air and came down with a vertical power slash towards Edegaru's side.

Rawth managed to block with both arms against the oncoming attack which forced his body to jolt leftward. He then landed on his feet skidding backwards while his arms were still held up. After safely coming to a stop Rawth ran behind a tree.
