Masatake could see Akihiko's muscles move but his chakra flow remain hidden from the genin's prying eyes unlike Kuro's sharingan. Kuro merely smirked and glanced at Masatake defiantly. [color=0054a6]"If you think I'm going in there half cocked and ready to get my ass beat then you're sadly mistaken Masatake. You want to glory you do your own dirty work. I'm content to sit here until I see an opening of my own or until I can figure out a blind spot."[/color] Kuro said to him in a hushed voice. Akihiko's muscles didn't move for a moment besides his eyes. His whole body was a stiff as a rock and or tree. He betrayed no movements and he gave away nothing besides from his strange stance.

[color=fff200]"Fukusho what the hell are you thinking...fine come at me."[/color] Akihiko said in exasperation to himself as he suddenly tensed up which caught Masatake's eyes and the shadows around him suddenly came alive. [color=fff200]"[b]"NINJA ART: SHADOW KING OCTOPUS!"[/b][/color] Akihiko growled loudly as the ninja star was brutally knocked out of Fukusho's hands from a tendril made of pure shadows from the area around Akihiko. The blow was so hard it numbed Fukusho's hand. Not letting up the next blow came almost instantaneously as another one wrapped around Fukusho's leg just inches away from the jonin class shinobi. The tendril twisted Fukusho's leg causing pain before letting him go as he twisted around in the air only to get sent back to his teammates with a brutal smack from another tendril sending him barreling towards Mikone. The blow had hit him square in the chest knocking the air out of his lungs and would certainly leave a nasty bruise. There came no mocking comment no sarcastic quip following the barrage of attacks from out of nowhere. The elite shinobi's eyes were callous and cold.
