If Shikamaru could be affected by a "sound-wave attack" so easily, he might already have died on the battlefield by now.
Shikamaru turned a deaf ear to Tayuya's curses.
He pulled five kunai straight out of his clothes and hurled them at the immobilized Tayuya.
Tayuya made the same movement.
However, she had no kunai prepared inside her clothes.
Thus, all she "threw" was air.
As the five kunai closed in, Tayuya's eyes widened and her pupils contracted sharply.
She bit down hard on the tip of her tongue, drawing blood that stained her lips red.
The moment the blood spilled out, Tayuya's body began changing rapidly.
"Secret Technique: Second-Level Cursed Seal."

Realizing things had gone wrong, Shikamaru
