[ Almost there... It'd be much easier if he had his sword or any of his other close range weapon on him, but he doesn't yet know how to use them without being a danger to himself and everybody around him, so it's this tiny knife that he pulls lengthwise through the vines, stringing them so that even if they do grab his ankles and try to drag him away from Michel, they're weak enough that he can pull his foot out of the hold and break free. The only exception to this tactic is the last of the vines wrapped around Michel; Minato slashes upwards straight through it, nearly taking off Michel's ear, but he needs that wide swing in order to cut through such a thick vine.

Freedom!
Enjoy that ten foot drop to the ground. ]
