The Sunaku giggled lightly as she watched Takeo coming towards her with a clenched fist. Does he actually think he can punch me...no way he thinks that not after what I just did...but then again he does seem like the kind of kid who would let his pride get in the way of his mind...wait a minute Aki where...oh over their...oh my gosh she just cut herself...I wonder did she do that purposely or was it accidentally...seems accidental since she isn't happy about it...oh well hey wait my sand clones what happened to them....damn these kids...oh well lets show them a trick or two...or three...yeah three.

"Three....two....one....lets go!"

With such a random announcement the Sunaku vanished and reappeared on the back of Aki and some how or another the Sunaku had gotten hold of Aki's wrist and was no what seemed to be attempting to dislocate her shoulders.

"Takeo...don't you want to help your little lovely here?"

The Sunaku giggled once again before attempting a crescent kick that would hopefully launch Aki straight into Takeo who if everything went right would have stopped and turned to see what happened. Of course Hirosue wasn't really doing anything to catch the Sunaku's attention but then again maybe Hirosue was planning something while being stationary. If anything though the Sunaku was not standing in the exact location that Aki had been only moments ago.

"I have to say your style is very unique but you seem to lack a certain thing...but if anything be proud that I am actually thinking about giving you a passing grade for this test Takeo...due only in fact your performance is above average..."

Of course such a statement wasn't going to be said with out some kind of snappy jutsu being flung in with it. So almost as though by call two streams of sand burst forth from the back of the Sunaku and spiraled straight for Aki and Takeo.

As soon as the Sunaku has grabbed Aki from the wrists, Aki threw her elbow backwards to the Sunaku's stomach. A japanese form of hitting your enemy when he is on your back; hikude. Then Aki lifted up her arms [Niwa would be able to manage to stop Aki because she was stronger but the hit maybe had gotten Niwa's attention where Aki had hit.] and then she leaned to the ground and attempted to throw Niwa forward.

[technique from my Karate Sensei =3 to show me it worked, he used it on me >.> so it IS supposed to work]

Little Hirosue's mouth quivered with the senbons on flight.
Goggling at the razor's edge with quite a nervous fright.
Little Hirosue mumbled something as if she could be heard.
Confused as to what's going on as she turned her little head.

Little Suweh looked at Niwa with a big curious frown.
Gently cradling Saya's arms, not letting her guard down.
Little Suweh decided to join the play on the stony ground.
Grabbed on Takeo's arms as she circled round and round.

[OOC:]
Hirosue didn't know they were meant to attack Niwa due to her little nap.
Hirosue thinks they were all just playing.
Hirosue uses Speed Boost [Master Rank]

(Well, seeing as I can't get a yes or no on the crescent kick, I'll write something ambiguous to both scenarios.)

As fortune would have it, Takeo's plan fell apart under the barrage of unfortunate circumstances that often went with a fights elasticity. This was the reason that rigid plans would often fail when thrown into the fray. Takeo didn't feel this was the exact reason why his plan failed as much as it was a set of setbacks that most plans would not be able to accommodate for.

The first setback definitely lay in Niwa's choice to take the left flank out with a genjutsu rather than a ninjutsu that would be expected from a sand user. And from there, it only fell apart as Takeo's disguise was seen through and the true Aki spotted.

With the plan in disrepair and Aki in Niwa's hands as Takeo would find after spinning around, Takeo had very few options left.

Of course he could still make a valiant charge with his katana lifted above his head, but he knew it was to a point of futility. He could have used the current situation as a springboard for a new plan, but it seemed a bit late for that now that conditions had gone so far downhill.

Besides, the next thing to happen left Takeo completely powerless to contribute. As motion blurred at the spot where Aki and Niwa were locked, the entire situation left Takeo without the means to attack. If he were to take any more moves for his own gain, it would benefit him, but very likely bring injury to his comrade. As difficult as it was to comprehend for some people, the Nanjirou spirit within Takeo left him with at least some degree of decency, upon which he may have even committed a noble act or two. This was one of those acts.

[Actions of ambiguity:

If the crescent kick happened, meaning Aki is moving in a ballistic trajectory towards me, I could move out of the way, but that would mean Aki would eat rubble, some of which could cause some major injury. Instead, I will offer a much softer landing, that being a human body, even if it results in me sharing some of the injury.

If Aki and Hirosue do their thing, I guess that means I'm wheeling around. I could knock Hirosue off, but that whole nobility thing is being a pain in the ass. I'll stop her if I can but will not hurt her. I'm pretty sure Niwa called what happened first and is technically the mod, so I'm not too worried about this situation happening anyway.
