I think the general idea is that they would do it to prevent Sasaki from making a grave mistake (killing Shuu), so injured him just enough to disarm him (no pun intended) in a hurry without gravely wounding him. I can see where the idea comes from, but hypothetically speaking, if they were actually there, there are other ways they would most likely approach the situation.

It's also because the attack seemed to be swift and long range, so one of the most popular theories is that whoever attacked is an ukaku. Neither are on the top of my list though, and Kanae really seems to be the best candidate, especially because this arc should be wrapping up soon. I'm not sure how many more plot twists Ishida could add without it starting to get silly.
