Stuck in Chapter 8 now. Again, the Kikyo Konoe fight. Shippujinrai is just ridiculous. How am I supposed to stop a move that I can't prepare for? Even if a character survives, I have to heal them that turn, or she'll just finish them off by using it the next turn, since it acts first. I managed to finally find a strategy to negate Kamiizumi's insane counters, but now I'm stuck being completely demolished by Shippujinrai. Heck, since she often does it on the first turn, I won't even have time to set up a Rampart or Utsusemi (and putting Ninjitsu on everyone is kind of limiting anyway).

How do you stop the Ninja?!
