The strike connected with a satisfying, solid smack, and the man curled in on himself in obvious pain. Not losing any time, Sasuke kept his grip tight and snapped his hand in rapid succession towards the same pressure point that had been targeted on himself a moment prior, hard enough to stun with pain.

With any luck, that would give him enough time to find the right nerve to pinch and put this idiot out of commission altogether, and then he could turn on Muraki -- strange that the man hadn't attempted to attack at the same time, but perhaps he was less of a fighter than a doctor after all.
