The scythe was blocked with little effort on the red clad man's part, the smell of ozone and the feeling of static alerted Revan that the next attack was lightning based as soon as the light reached him.
He jumped into the air a few feet above the puppet, and threw his sword in a seemingly random direction, except it wasn't random the sword took the hit of lightning from Zankuro, and due to it's lack of grounding, maintained all that energy. What happened next shouldn't of surprised Kurou, but it did.
Revan's sword curved mid flight and impacted the branch that Revan and Shinigami were upon. The section of branch the sword touched exploded with a high amount of force, and began to fall. Revan acted quickly and grabbed his sword, leaping towards Zankuro.
It was this moment that Kurou finished his hand signs and fired the Water release equivalent of a fire bullet, Water Shark Bullet, Kurou didn't realize his mistake until it was much too late. You see, pure water was actually a terrible conductor, and since Kurou pulled all that water out of the moisture in the air there was nothing in it to conduct electricity.
When Revan all but dispelled the bullet, and proceeded to use his own control of the Water Release to wreath himself in pure water, it pretty much gave him a rudimentary shield to defend against Zankuro with.
Kurou was mentally yelling, Revan had improved by leaps and bounds since he last saw the boy. While Kurou had only increased marginally, he was silently thinking that it might be too late by the time the ANBU got there.
Maris knew that a single scythe attack wouldn't be enough to hurt Revan, he was trying to get his puppet in close, but what he didn't expect was the sword to curve in midair. Maris stayed on the offensive and made Shinigami move closer to Revan. "Secret Gray Technique: Curtain Call." Shinigami opened it's mouth started emitting a black smoke. Maris knew this was useless because of the Byakugan, but it was simply a distraction for Maris's next move.
"Hey, supporting cast!" Maris shouted to Kurou and Zankuro. "Stay away from the smoke, in fact, start backing up. I don't know if this will work but it's worth a shot. Secret Gray Techinque: Fear the Reaper." After Shinigami finished putting out the smokescreen, it switch canisters to start emitting a brownish-orange gas. This was a special gas Maris created for any interrogations he had to do. It worked by affecting the nerve centers of a person's brain and made them realize their worst fear. Maris had yet to see anyone immune to the effects of the gas but he wouldn't put it past Revan to either not have a fear or esapse somehow.
