Bokuden
D-rank
(OOC: When I say decisive action I just mean don't use a technique or launch an attack and assume it works. The same goes for counters, but as long as they make sense it shouldn't be a problem)
Kenji was able to contort his body in order to prevent a debilitating stab to his sword arm like Bokuden intended, but he could not avoid damage completely. He managed to save his sword arm, but was now left with a hole about two inches deep into his chest that was bleeding profusely. As the two separated from the confrontation, Bokuden subtly threw a kunai low to the ground at Kenji's feet hoping that he would be distracted by his wound and Bokuden's movements. As soon as Bokuden released the kunai he launched himself into the air a descending downward slash with his sword using his downward momentum to increase the power of his strike, hoping that either Kenji would focus on Bokuden's slash allowing the kunai to pierce one of his shins or jump out of the way of the kunai to save his legs and be left vulnerable to his sword attack. Either way Bokuden knew that if Kenji tried to block the downward strike Bokuden's attack would overpower Kenji. Kenji might have had the raw speed advantage, but the difference in their size and strength was evident and with the aid of gravity Bokuden's slash could force Kenji to play to Bokuden's advantage, power.
Chakra: 90/150
