The rock in Jinseie's hand was heavy as he sucked in breath through clenched teeth, pain slowly beginning to ebb off and on but the majority of it had slowed, if not faded entirely; His eye still stung intensely and ignoring it was only getting him so far, but it was also no longer impeding him as it had before. He wasn't going to scream in pain anymore and his vision had cleared enough to see out of both eyes reliably. Not that full vision was necessary right now, what with the roaring and snarlingly pained creature rearing towards him with jaws wide open.
For another other shinobi, that would have been the point they dropped they hauled ass in the opposite direction, but Jinseie was not other shinobi by any measure of the imagination. For one, he was angrier, what this his eye hurt and the immeasurable risk to his teammates that would come from prolonging this fight any longer. For another, Jinseie was rapidly growing extremely tired of these
god-damned lizards. This entire situation was flat out exhausting him mentally and he was just about done with it.
It was time to make this thing regret it's existence and/or just kill it. Either way, he wasn't going to run.
His weight shifted and his body dropped as Jinseie's stance changed, drawing in a heavy breath as the monster roared towards him and then Jinseie began running forward. At the monster. Which was as psychotic as it sounded, and even for Jinseie it sounded psychotic; He was also running towards the side it had been blinded on, however, and he was picking up speed, enough so that before the creature could slam it's jaws onto the Chuunin he'd leapt as hard as he could into the air. It wasn't a smooth jump and it wasn't as timed as he'd have liked it, his eye wasn't fully healed and the depth was a bit off, his legs smashed into the thing's upper jaw and he tumbled like a pinwheel a bit as he landed, his upper body connecting onto the creature. The rock in his hands slipped away, tumbling off the thing's head.
Undeterred and perhaps a bit more pissed than before, Jinseie grabbed on with both hands and yanked himself firmly, his hand going to the wakizashi at his waist and in one clean motion attempted to jab the thing in the creature's face, slamming and gripping hard onto the blade in an attempt to keep from getting dislodged. He might not kill it or even do more than inconvience it, but he wasn't going to get knocked off anytime soon.
Note: Pulling these from his pre-revamp sheet, I can provide links to them from mods but his sheet itself is in the trash so I can't link it directly.

B-Ranked Taijutsu
Shifting his body and exercising extensive muscle control, Jinseie shifts his weight and balance as he moves to maximize every swing, every footstep and every breath taken to the point his body actually outperforms itself. While this effect allows him to increase his Taijutsu performances, such am emphasis on bodily function also minimizes his ability to control chakra, ninjutsu and genjutsu techniques. It lasts for 5 posts or until Jinseie relaxes his body.

Stone Steady
D-Rank Taijutsu
Another foundation block of the Stone Body style, Jinseie's ability to keep himself steady under pressure is applied in the sense of muscles, weight and balance into a very specific kind of control. Whenever Jinseie would be knocked off his feet, knocked into the air or otherwise unbalanced he is able to recover and reorient himself much quicker than other shinobi. This does not apply to Genjutsu or techniques such as Sound-based ninjutsu that specifically attack the senses or nerves in ways he cannot counter, it only allows him to recover and reorient faster from unbalanced terrain, disorienting taijutsu or attacks of that nature.
