Ezume stands on a wave that is continuously getting smaller. The wave becomes a puddle that spreads over the ground. Nanami rolls across the ground. She coughs and lifts herself up.

Ezume: Your body looks to already be tired and defeated. You won't last any longer period of time with the current results.

Nanami: I'm not a water person. The fight has only just started.

Nanami pushes her fingers into the dirt a little.

Nanami: Wood Style: Roots!

Ezume jumps back. He lands several feet back.

Ezume: No roots. Not all senju's have the wood release trait. You must be just a common senju.

Roots slowly wrap around his legs. The light touch is almost unnoticeable. Ezume puts his hands together and makes a sign.

Ezume: You may not be able to perform high level jutsu unparalleled to others, but I am able to do so.

Nanami: Is he dead?

Ezume struggles to pull himself up.

Ezume: A woman of the taijutsu skill.

Ezume takes out his sword with the giant gear at the end of it.

Ezume: My sword looks weird to the average eye. It's not a sword made to be sharp. You don't hit your enemies with my sword.

Ezume sticks the sword into the ground. The giant gear is covering the top half of his body.

Ezume: You thought that wave was something impossible to deal with. Now try this.

Ray: What did that do to me? I have to struggle to move my body.

Lee: That was the eight trigrams 64 palms. It blocks all your chakra points. You probably can't access your chakra right now.

Ray: I know how to get my chakra back.

Ray has a big evil smile on his face.
