Today would be a good day to spill blood, that luxuriously colored red blood. The green haired woman moved like a panther that was stalking it's prey, slowly but in a stealthy way moving towards the arena where her opponent was awaiting her arrival. The door to the arena had been open, but some trampling around had allowed the young woman to assume it had been quite the hassle to get it opened up, making her wonder why her opponent had decided to keep it open. Was he a gentleman? Or just one of those idiots who forgot to think before keep moving? Nevertheless, she had spent a few minutes checking out the place for traps before actually walking in there. Gentleman or not, she was at least not going to trust that. And now she stepped into the 'ring', her golden eyes resting on her tall and slender opponent as a playful smirk played over her rose-pink lips. Handsome face, black and casual hair, and from what she could see a dark colored amber-ish eyes. A face which would be most beautiful in complete despair. Her long hair got tousled around in the slight breeze, as she came to a halt in front of the man. There were approximately 10 meters in between them from what she could estimate.

"Why thank you for keeping that door open, mister." It was nearly impossible to say if she was really grateful or was just being sarcastic, as her eyes seemed to constantly have that mischievous and rather humored glint to them like she found everything and everybody around her extremely humoring. The green coat she wore was closed up with the top 2 buttons, but even if it fluttered around her tall and slender form it did little to hide the womanly curves. And strapped onto her back was the huge claymore which seemed way too heavy for a woman of such a slender figure to really lift. But then again, as always in the ninja world, looks can be very deceiving. As she tilted her head and took in the arena around them, Satsuriku also took a second to wonder about what kind of jutsu she would be facing. That man seemed to have a certain aura around him, it was kind of easy to spot those who were weak from those who were strong. And she could tell that this man meant some business.

"Shall we get into it then?" Slowly she licked her lips while thinking about how his blood tasted, how the feeling of cutting his skin would send shivers of pleasure down her spine. A good day indeed. Her stance got lowered the slightest, as she dug her toes into the ground.

Her words had barely left her lips as she noticed a quick flickering in his hand, it dropping the slightest down before a slight glint of metal caught her eyes. As the kunai flew through the air, she had used one of her abilities in which would enrich her own skin with the same material as her bones without it though changing the slightest in the eyes of the opponent, so as she flicked the kunai out of the way with her hand in just a split of a second without even blinking her eyes, it would be up to the opponent to try and guess just how she had done that. Had she had a weapon hidden also in her sleeve, or had she managed to use such accuracy as to be able to bare handed defend against a weapon? As soon as the kunai had hit her skin, and barely had it started bouncing away, as she was on the move, going to the right side while she was finishing making the needed handseals.

Her speed was something impressive, something only those who are extremely well trained can achieve, and that speed had also saved her ass many times before. It would be difficult for anyone that wasn't a high rank to follow her after as she only left a trail of dust behind on the spot she had stood on earlier. She however did not move at the full speed she was capable off, as she wanted to 'safe' her body some energy and preferred not to strain it at all until she really had to.

Satsuriku was not going to be assuming that her opponent would stand still or do nothing while he had been waiting to see what the kunai would do. From what she could assume from his move, he had been aiming to perhaps make her lose her stance or distract her, and even if neither had happened, she never knew what he had up his sleeve next. Having taken only a few steps from her original spot, only barely a second having passed, a replica of herself had already appeared at Satsuriku's side. The clone immediately went to the opposite direction of where Satsuriku was running, while they both started making handseals with rapid movements, knowing fully well they had no time to spare as it was almost impossible to watch the movements of their hands. What would the opponent do to follow up his small but perhaps more dangerous than would appear, kunai throwing at the beginning?

Spoiler:

Fire, she saw fire flickering as a big ball of it was headed in her direction. It was a big fire jutsu, kinda impressive to be honest, but it was still not very fast. But it was fine by her either way, as she had had other things planned. Just as she finished the handseals which she had been already started at while she started running, Satsuriku sunk into the ground without any trace. She moved a little bit further away, backwards, until she would be in about 13 meter distance from her opponent, and there she planned ahead while her clone was already in motion.

As the fireball had been heading for the both of them, the clone had flicked her body through the air in a cat like motion, like a true taijutsu master, and dodged the fireball. But while she was in the air, she had already finished her set of hand seals, and jumping to the side just as the fireball passed, there was a new replica of the green haired woman. The new clone moved it's hands quickly, making the needed hand seals, and disappeared into the ground while the fireball passed, not wasting a second of it's precious time. The first clone had landed in a crouch a bit to her left side, still at approximately 10 meter distance from Shinsou, and as she had landed she finished the last set of her hand seals, placing her hands on the ground and the earth behind Shinsou started to rise rapidly.

And whilst that was happening, the clone which had moved underground had moved close enough, or about 5 meters, to be able to use what she needed to use. But what the first clone had caught a glimpse off did not make it feel like gloating. A damn Sharingan? Was she up against some illusion using sonuvabitch? Things would not be going easier now, she had heard tales about the Sharingan and it's powers of not only reading movements but also placing you at tough spots where you weren't sure wether you were living in an illusion or not. God she hated fighting against those.

Still covered underneath the earth, unseen and untraceable, the second clone finished the hand seals only a second or so after the earth behind Shinsou had begun rising, and from her position there formed quickly spikes out of the earth which were rapidly covering the distance towards Shinsou. Now he had the 'cave' behind him, which would engulf him in a matter of a second or two, and the earthen rising spears were in front of him, not needing much more than a second more before they would rip through the ground where he was standing.

Would he go to the side, and see what the real Satsuriku who was still underneath the ground would do? Or would he defend right there and then, allowing her to see some more of his potentials. That damned Sharingan was going to be a pain in the ass, she just knew it. But Satsuriku had always loved challenges. Already she had now gotten to know that he had fire element, and that he was an Uchiha. 2 good pieces of information, although he would have now gotten to know also more about her. There was the question of when she would feel the need to use her own blood techniques, the heritance from the Kaguya blood. As the man was already playing some of his cards, already activating his Sharingan, it told her that he was not here to waste any time and he would probably be a big bite to swallow.
