All right....
now Taku was retaliating. A bit late in the battle to do so, but...it was something. And he was clever; he had waited until Zen and his clone commenced their attack to make his counter. Zen quickly brought his hand to his mouth; he knew he would have to stall Takumi. His clone hadn't recovered from that blow to the head...and that wasn't good. If another blow landed on it, well...one-on-one. Which wouldn't be bad, in the current state of things....
Zen ran at all the speed a Jounin could muster. Approaching Takumi, he raised one finger so the tip was just below his mouth; then, he focused his chakra. This would be rich....time to bluff. He made the necessary hand seals--ironically, the same ones for the jutsu he was faking--and brought his finger to his mouth as he said,
"Katon! Gokakyuu no Jutsu!" He drew in a breath on the last syllable of 'jutsu'.... and exhaled fiercely. What came out was a stream of orangish red. Perfect. Thousands of tiny balls of light, at this color....well, it looked quite similar. Only thing was, there was no heat. But hopefully it would be enough to keep Takumi on his toes... Zen dispersed his clone, and began a new jutsu with the mirrors he released. This place was about to become dangerous for Taku....
Mirror Mine Jutsu.Yep. A literal minefield....all of the 'fireflies' would float around the battlefield after he blew them. They in themselves were harmless...but eight of them had a nasty surprise in them, deadly if Zen hadn't toned them down: Explosive mirrors. Which meant that he would probably have his guard down... If Taku got close, he could just move an explosion towards him. He needed to end this...he had not acted in a very prudent fashion in this battle.

Name: 雷遁:蛍 (Raiton: Hotaru - Lightning Release: Fireflies)
Canon/Custom: Custom.
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary.
Element: Raiton.
Range: Orbs can float within 10 meters.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 10 posts.
Cooldown: 14 posts.
Description: Zen concentrates Raiton chakra in one hand. Then, bringing his hand to his mouth, he blows over his over it, which then releases thousands of 2-inch-wide orbs of light. They they give off a steady amount of full-spectrum light; he can change the color at will by adjusting their energy frequency. This can be used to light the way in dark places, him being able to move them at will after releasing them. As a result they can also can fuel his light-based Han'eipō attacks if no light is available for them to absorb. The orbs do nothing else by themselves, producing a tingly feeling on contact; they are intangible because they are made of chakra, but cannot be cut by other chakra-based techniques. However, if he blows the 'fireflies' directly at someone, it is quite a visual spectacle, and can disorient people for the next post.

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Element: Han'eipō
Range: 10 meters

Duration: 1 post to plant, last until detonated.
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Zenchi gathers existing Han'eipō mirrors and either sticks them to a surface or lets them hover. At any time, he can make them forcibly absorb light, and become dangerously unstable. These are still invisible when charged with light, though. Once 'live', they can deliver explosions on contact with anything, via the mechanic for the Mirror Shot technique. These explosions are expelled from only one side of the mirror, and as such can be used to augment physical attacks. Damage from one explosion is equal to that of a paper bomb. Likewise, any mine can be detonated by the user; he can expose these to a person's chakra signature so that it does not blow when they touch it.
