A set of mostly 'fair' fights would begin, but if the shinobi thought too highly of their profession they were up for surprises.
Battle of the Twins
Hitoshi was fast to say the least, his armor was on point, but wasn't thick didn't over encumber him. He'd have reflexes to match and with the chains attack delayed by each segment. He hadn't a single concern as the attack was made for his knee, he'd away from the attack, but still at the shinobi making it. His body turning to more or less face the attack though, as he'd make an attack. An attack the shinobi likely didn't expect out of the civilian, as he'd shoot the forward hand down and the rapier hand up. As to bring a quick joust downwards at a part of the incoming attack, specifically straight into the chain between the middle segment and segment being swung.
A pinpoint stab delivered with such grace and speed, it'd likely appear as a blur of flickering glares from the shine of the blades side. Attempting to pin the staff with his rapier, if he succeeded, he'd then push the weight of the rapier into the ground. Throwing his lower half up and attempting to deliver a kick towards the kunoichi's chest. If those thing failed he'd of surely deflected the attack instead, his rapier now acting as a shield for the staff's range of attack.
Suzu wasn't sure how the shinobi would deal with her attack, but she'd be impressed the girl didn't immediately run. Instead she'd go down to jab under the attack, but the range difference between the staff and claymore wasn't that great. So lowering her stance with the girl and thus yanking her swing down faster, Suzu would bring the sword down upon the staff mid jab and split the wood in half with her steel.
Then pouncing up from her lowered stance chase after the girl, it didn't matter if their was a smokescreen. She was too brazen to worry about the lose of sight, as she doubted the shinobi had much greater perception in it. She'd keep her sword handle at about gut level, as she'd keep the blade relatively straight up to guard her face. She'd sprint right through the smoke if the shinobi didn't try anything from within it.
These two weren't shinobi, but there'd be no denying both were faster and stronger than Suikazura
Guts v.s. Glory
The samurai would give Ryoko roughly another thirty seconds, if choose to not act within that time then he'd make his move. "Alright, you've wasted enough time." After stating that, he'd make an exaggerated move of his hand to hamidashi at his side. The chime on his wrist jingling as he'd grasp the weapon, it'd cause the whole weapon to take on a bright light. Then with one quick flick of his wrist he'd throw the weapon at blinding speed for the girls center mass, as the weapon flew closer the man wouldn't merely stand still.
Following the weapon would be the samurai, as he'd move his hand to the handle of his Katana. He'd close the distance between him and the shinobi with relative ease. His very first step seeming to clear half the distance between him and the kunoichi, as he'd seemingly take a drawing stance with his upper body. He wouldn't draw his sword though, at least he'd not do so on his way towards her. Once he reached her if she didn't move that story would differ, but how he drew the weapon totally depending on the girls reaction to his first attack and secondly his approach.
Dead Silence
The girl wasn't blind to what'd just happened, at least she could mostly piece it together. The arrow was guided or assisted in it's guidance via some manner, so when it bent around chain she could guess the entangle. She wouldn't however have the time to immediately yank her weapon back and thus she'd have to yank for it's return after the arrow pierced the ground. She was no weakling, so it'd not take to many pulls to dislodge the arrow holding a part of the chain down. How much resistance the shinobi added would be another story.
Granted the girl wasn't interested in giving the kunoichi much time to monopolize on the one entangled chain, as she'd begin swinging the other mace. Sweeping it over her head so it could get a nice arch before attempting to let it swing at a range to strike the shinobi from the side. If Sayua focused upon this attack, then the girl in armor would use more focus to yank her caught chain back and hopefully break the wire. If the focus remained on the entangled weapon, then she'd use all her skill to guide the second attack into landing a good hit upon the archer.
