Satoshi was surprised to see Alucai drop his katana but it was all instantaneous. The soaring red-hilted katana came flying at Satoshi but he had already reacted. By swinging his katana inan arched motion, a counter-clockwise rotation, he slapped the top of the airbourne katana with his own blade, causing it to redirect down to the ground where it became stuck within the dirt and grass. As Alucai unsheathed his sword for his single strike, Satoshi pulled the grounded, red-hilt katana out infront of the horizontal path of Alucai's blade. Satoshi held it with his left hand, thumb on top while the blade was pointed down. In his right hand, he held Fuujin. Satoshi thought the sword was enough but was quickly mistaken. Alucai's second katana shot out of it's scabbard and cut through the red-hilt katana. Sato then instinctively tried to jump back ou to of the sword's reach. The blade continued past the broken katana until it reached Satoshi's chestplate but by then, the force of the attack had been diminished due to the resistance of the red-hilt katana and the small distance that Sato had placed in his attampt to jump back. The blade scratched across Satoshi's chestplate, leaving a single, horizontal scar. Astounded by the power of the swordsman, Satoshi decided to concentrate. Throwing aside the broken katana, Satoshi took hold of Fuujin with both hands and leaned towards Alucai. Sato unleashed a set of blindingly fast slashes, following Alucai in each. The first was a horizontal from right to left, aimed across the abdomen. The next, a diagonal from bottom left to top right, aimed to under the right ribs up to the left shoulder. After that, a diagonal from top left to bottom right, aimed to the right side of the neck. The final, an overhead slash aimed directly through Alucai's body. Chidori Sai (One Thousand Birds Cut) The slashes were so extremely fast that they seemed to leave a white trail behind them, creating a white asterisk on Alucai, capable of cleaving through metal like a hot knife through butter.

[ OOC The second slash I was referring to was the slash Satoshi made towards Alucai's ribs but let's just say he dodged it when he knelt and move on.]
