The senbons Panda threw at the man was merely a test to stall the beginning of the battle.
"Sure..."
Panda would slam his hands on the ground focusing his chakra around the man carving out a 3x4 earth section to lower suddenly into the ground at fast speed not stopping till it reaches 17m. Continuing the combo, Panda would weave one handseal and turn the ground around the hole he created with the sides of the pit to turn into mud which would fall into the pit burying Gecko in the swamp's liquid .
(Doton: Yomi Numa) - Earth Style:
Swamp of the Underworld
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform Boar → Tiger and then by changing the surface of an object beneath an enemy into mud and creating a non flammable swamp, the user can sink his enemy into the mud. The adhesive, chakra- infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is
extremely effective against a great
number of enemies or when having to
face gigantic creatures.
