Time did not remain still as Sakura was receiving a certain gift, Ran was busy battling Mizutani in the meantime and their battle was a dangerous one to witness.
Every swing exchanged toppled the trees and uplifted the soil from where it had been.
Ran had gritted his teeth hoping that Genbu wouldn't hold it against him for fighting like this atop his back but right now he had to concentrate on fighting the Dark Hand Commander that tried to continuously ensnare him with his whip.
'' You are formidable indeed, I thought you'd be weaker than you were but I did like being surprised. Now that I think about it, you kinda look like the girl I just made easy work of. You wouldn't happen to be a relative? Guessing she is the weak link in the family ahahahaha!!! '' Mizutani jested as he continuously swung his whip at Ran who dodged each swing of the weapon as it neared.
Sakura's older brother could see how powerful the whip was simply by how it left a scar on the environment.
