[Shikamaru's opponents are using their numbers to their advantage now. Two take to the air - might've been a better move if it wasn't such a sunny day. As it is, manipulating a person isn't the only thing he can do with his shadow - he can paralyze them too. Quickly he catches their shadows before they can swoop in on him, freezing their wings and making them crash to the ground where there's the audible sound of something breaking. He throws two kunai with explosive notes tied to them at the Elites just to be sure.
The action costs him, however. He usually has to keep very still to use his shadow jutsus, and the ones left on the ground caught on quickly to that. An Elite with an ax makes a swipe at his wings, and it's only thanks to ninja reflexes that he dodges out of the way of that. His shoulder wound isn't taking kindly to all of this movement, but he's not so much worried about it as he is the blood giving away his injury to the enemy.
Just two of them left on his end now. He pulls the trench knives out again along with some wire, glancing over to Wolfwood too see how many he has left.]
