It seemed Theinin's counter measure had succeeded, as the mass of chakra that was the assailaint had once again moved from the location, leaving Ichirou to deal with the matter of this annoying hole.
However his opponent had seemed to make a new move, raising the ground that he had originally lowered, in an apparent attempt to crush Ichi beneath the wooden dome that he crafted above.
"Theinin, Maintain the barrier.." he called out as the two landed on the rising ground, upon command Theinin would leave his palms pressed together from his previous motion, and begin fueling the Pyramid of light technique around him with his own chakra. This would allow Ichirou to move freely and preform his own actions whilst Theinin maintained the barrier, and Shadow provided the velocity for the two to begin their ascent,
Now usually the Hobi would indeed be strong enough to withstand a Biju bomb, making it the perfect barrier to send crashing atop someone. However, with the Pyramid of Light:Banishing shield maintained, The wood would be drained of the chakra within it upon impact, weakening it over all and allowing the barrier to push through as if it had broken through a tree, of course the only portion of the wooden structure that would have lost it's chakra would be the wood that had come into immediate contact with the edges of the barrier.
However, should his exit of the hole have been finalized, it was indeed time for Ichirou to move on the offensive, as the defense of the barrier would have reach it's limit, breaking away as the two exited the imprisonment,
with Ichirou still atop the back of the beast, the two would take to the air upon seeing the once again tool littered battlefield upon their exit. Taking to the skies near the rainy clouds, Theinin began to use his Elemental capabilities, Lightning began to cackle around the beast, and spread off of him, into the clouds. Turning the rainy storms of the wetlands in to much more violent storms, with the occasional strike of lightning and roar of thunder over time.
As Theinin did this, Ichirou finally triggered a trap that he had set up earlier in the conflict, with a better view of the over all landscape, Ichirou was able to resume control of a particular slither of his chakra that resided within the earth between Shadow's feet, something he quite possibly hadn't observed yet.
From beneath Shadow directly, the ground would explode upward, a heavy blast of fire and concussive force, as well as rock shrapnel. This explosion was created by a small clay snake that had slithered into the ground from Ichirou's hand earlier, courtesy of his Iwagakure Kinjutsu. This blast served to test the limits of his opponents armaments, soon Ichirou would make his move.
