Saburi Kashikiri Saki merely dropped down dodging the lightning she skittered under that Kasumi's arm and quickly changed direction drawing one of her Kodati as she moved it swiped across that Kasumi's middle as she turned to face the others ready to defend herself. The Kasumi Saki attacked disappeared in a puff of smoke. A few other Kasumi's got out of the way of the lightning ball. " Heh" all the Kasumi's say at once. Utilizing the body flicker skill, another of the Kasumi's gets near Saki and preforms Leaf Gale. The remaining Kasumi's watch in anticipation for the next actions of the opponent. Meanwhile Linea talks with Guy by a doorway not that far from the arena, where they both can see what is going on with Saki and Kasumi's battle. Linea notices that Kasumi is analyzing Saki's actions, as does Guy. " She's grown." Linea says softly.

Saki didn't stay still for long. Her taijutsu had long ago taught her that constant movement was a skill and a very useful one at that. She moved forwards quickly as the Kasumi dropped into a sweep her empty hand turned into a brace on Kasumi's shoulder as she basically cartwheeled over her. As she rotated over the other girl she switched her Kodati around from resting across her forearm to pierce the back kidney area of her opponent. She continued her momentum past the current Kasumi turning it from rotational movement into forward speed as she continued her attack on the next Kasumi in her way.

While Saki was focused on the next Kasumi in her way, a third Kasumi lunged in from the side at a blind spot angle striking at Saki's rib area with a lightning charged tonfa.

Saki was quick on her feet if nothing else. Sensing a change in the air pressure of to the side she had angled her feet and changed into a more lateral jump just dodging the attack. She had positioned her feet just right during take off that her body turned in the air as she countered with a slightly slow spinning kick.

She had positioned her feet just right during take off that her body turned in the air as she countered with a slightly slow spinning kick. Seeing the movement change in Saki, the third Kasumi that came in places her right arm up using the tonfa to block the incoming kick. Once blocked she rolls away. Now there where only two Kasumi's left, but which was the real one; and which was the clone? Both Kasumi's had a grin on their faces. Then they spoke, " Not bad ninja of the mist. But your still a small fry." Kasumi was starting to get cocky, which for her meant she was gonna get serious. And Kaede knew if Kasumi got to serious about wining, she'd possibly take herself to suicidal levels of chakra use.

Saki raised an eyebrow. "You call me a small fry? That's rather presumptuous since you have no idea of what I can do." Saki said in a rather friendly tone. "Do all cloud-nin jump to conclusions?" She tilted her head and set her feet. It was a sign to any Hirotori's watching that she intended to start using the speed they developed. She drew her second Kodati and flipped them around to resting on her forearms again. To her it didn't matter who was real or not as leaned down and sprinted forward incredibly fast slicing her right hand and blade up in an uppercut type move intended to gut the enemy. She continued this movement up and around following it with her foot in a twisting back kick.

As Saki seemed to connect with her attack, there was a puff of smoke and a log appeared where Kasumi was supposed to be. While Saki's back was turned from the actions made, one of the two Kasumi's flickered near to strike at her back with a blind side jump kick.

Saki knew something was up when the replacement jutsu was used so she allowed the momentum of her kick to take her off balance enough to slide to the ground. It was a rather effective dodge even if it was a little unorthodox. She rolled to the side to avoid any attacks then rolled onto her shoulders and pushed herself off the ground and onto her feet. She notced the Kasumi and quickly attacked moving towards the girl she sliced at one with her kodati and allowing that rotation to accelerate her into a spinning jump kick.

The Kasumi that was closest to Saki did a few back flips to get some distance, and to dodge attacks. Then started to build up chakra again. This time the focus of chakra seemed more intense. She was prepping for something alright, but what was the question.

Saki considered the possibility that that particular Kasumi was probably the real one. She lept at the other attacking quickly she threw a punch before jumping over the Kasumi and slashing back at her with her kodati. She continued the momentum when she hit the ground and headed straight for one of the huge trees.

Kasumi number 2 was doing a decent job of dodging the attacks that Saki made. Between the two of them dodging and all that, it was hard to determine which one was the real Kasumi. In a soft and faintly notable voice the two Kasumis speak. "Tomoehegen...Kekkai Genki..." each of them took a fighting stance similar to a Kendo stance, only there was no boken or sword in their hands. The chakra flow in the air felt electrical, as little to Saki's knowledge Kasumi was a lightning manipulator. It took a bit of energy for Kasumi to do this, but as a specialist it was more natural for her than say water, or fire.

Saki hunkered down in the big tree and tilted her head curiously. "That's not a justsu..." She whispered to herself in a peculiar tone before narrowing her eyes. "Sly girl nearly fooled me." She muttered and took a deep breath trying to calm her mind once more and prepare for an attack that was sure to be coming.

The Kasumi's each faced one of the trees and waved Saki on. Since Kasumi was unsure which tree Saki was in, she watched both. Kasumi knew that she was going to have to end this soon, as there weren't many low level jutsus she could use. Saki seemed to know counters for just about everything Kasumi used so far.

Saki slowly and carefully pulled out ten kunais from her pouch attaching exploding tags on them. She kept her movements smooth to conceal her position taking a deep breath she tossed five of them directly at the Kasumi facing the west tree the moment they left her hand she rapidly ran through her hand seals and stepped back into the shadows of the tree emerging in the other tree where she threw the other five kunais at the Kasumi facing the east tree with her hands now empty she once again ran through her hand seals stepping into the shadows she just emerged from.

The Kasumi facing east quickly dodged the attack from the tree, then did a few hand signs. Kasumi clapped her hands together and yelled out. "Thunda Up!" As she took her hands apart lightning streamed between them. She stretched her arms out to either side of her and yelled again. "Tomoehegen Purazuma Booru!" A field of energy surrounded her shielding her from the explosion the tag would make. The other Kasumi was hit dead on by the kunai and poofed away. It seems that Kasumi's concentration was slightly broken from the sudden dual appearance attack. Kasumi had wasted a good bit of chakra now, she would soon start to show signs of fatigue. Linea Keade, and Hitomi all knew that Kasumi had two skills that she could use during a state of fatigue. One would leave her near wiped out for a day or two, and the other would probably kill her if she tried it.
