[b][i][center]Hiron Hon,
Konohagakure Jounin | Team 9[/b][/center][/i]

So they were working together now? This was better than just coordinate their attacks and revealing to each other what they were doing. Hiron noticed that they were talking to each other, but he would train them later in use of tactics. It would be safer and much better if they had learned pre-set tactics and would use simple words to signal what tactic would be of better use. Of course, what they were doing now was covering it. With Shikaroku holding the turtle in place with his shadow technique, Hiron then noticed that Mai was requesting Masami to make some distance as she and her ninken launched their attack. It was in basic terms a good decision and attack. Holding and pin pointing your enemy was always a good manner to take them out. If you had neutralized their defenses as well. Hiron narrowed his eyes.

The turtle made some annoyed grunts as he noticed that he was being hold back. His tail made some slow and rather strange movements, likely trying to break free from Shikaroku's shadow technique. [b]''You...''[/b] The turtle's deep voice rumbled from out of the shell as his head came out and frowned. He had heard some noises and then noticed Mia's ninken and her attack. Instantly the head moved back in as the tail also moved in. Spikes then moved out of the shell, at the top. 

Hiron had saw this coming as they had forgotten to check the defenses. However..
His gaze went to Masami, as he had suspected that she would likely alarm that the turtle had little defenses on his flanks now. The spikes could only erupt from the top. Hiron did wonder if Mia had forgotten about that. Last time, he had made this mission too with the previous Team 9. They had worked together in order to beat the turtle, which ended in success. This team had some more potential as Shikaroku wasn't as silent and distant as Xinsai, nor did they had a loudmouthed troublemaker as the Bull. For now it was waiting what they would do in order to prevent the creature from entering the lake.
