Miraculously avoiding paying for a split second of distraction, I arched unthinkingly, letting the crushing kick slip past any man's vulnerable spot. Crunching my protesting spine and practically stretching the twine, I kicked my opponent in the chest at the same time as a powerful release of chakra from the tenketsu of her leg.
Despite a crossed arm block, she was lifted up and thrown backwards and upwards. Without wasting time, I pushed myself to the ground with one hand to regain my upright position, and with the other I ripped the middle of the five scrolls from my belt.
The edge of the scroll was still secured by the lacing, helping it to unfold inward toward me as quickly as possible. Feeling a blinding blob of chakra approaching from the side, I turned around and pressed the fingers of my other hand into the outside of the scroll.
- Fuinjutsu: Fuka Rayin!
The three-meter tall copy of the biju had no time to meow before the flashing hieroglyphics sucked it inside the seal. I had already created a new kage bunshin (to finish off the exhausted chunin) and turned toward the discarded kunoichi, ready to fend off another attack. But I didn't need to - she was just getting up from the ground, gently holding her obviously broken left arm. I was relieved to see that Raiton no Yoroi had fallen off the jonin, and so had my Raiton defense technique. I had to fix this blunder immediately.
- Xo! What kind of monster are you? - She bared her snow-white teeth at me.
***
- Monster? - I tilted my head perplexed.
- No one can compete with Raiton no Yora in terms of naked strength and speed! And to get out of a desperate situation without getting cut is even more so! It's impossible to control your surroundings so precisely to the second during such an intense battle! - The opponent hissed while being enveloped by lightning.
- Well, I'm a monster," he only shrugged at that, rushing into the attack.
Despite the fact that the advantage in characteristics was still at the kunoichi, with one broken arm, the situation has changed dramatically and I had the initiative. Not a single direct hit was thrown during the couple of minutes of the fight, but the abrasions from the sliding ones made the opponent slow down for a moment, playing defense. Immediately, a major flaw in her style came out - an over-reliance on continuous attacking.
On defense, he was below average. Except, I couldn't not only knock out a jonin, but I couldn't even land a killing blow! This woman was too tough and had too much chakra (at least two-thirds of Sakumo's, which was an achievement in itself for a kunoichi) to be able to defeat me with a rush.
- Two seconds," I said, taking a step back and discreetly throwing a seal behind my back and to the side.
- What?" the paused jonin asked, perplexed, but the flash of light made her blind for a moment.
