"Impressive." Both the clone within the guard tower and the original on the ground said almost simultaneously at the impressive ingenuity of the Jounin of Konohagakure, though neither of them sought to stand idly by whilst their enemy sought their almost apparent iminent defeat. Returning to the battle outside the gate, it seemed that the hand seals were seen by the original directly in front of the Namikaze an instantly recognised as the figure leapt into the air, summoning an unfolded Fūma shuriken beneath its feet, planting its feet on 2 of the blades whilst floating in the air, the lines of lightning chakra rampantly coursing beneath the shuriken only mere 4 feet below. The clone to the blonde Jounin's side found difficulty in recognising the hand seals from their angle and found itself caught within the web of chakra, electrocuting the clone whilst it suffered momentarily prior to dispersing into naught but a puff of smoke.

Though the shadow casted by the bugs seem to darken in specific areas as the weapons launched in the initial attack against the Jounin atop the tower returned, both the flame and wind chakra infused weapons tore through the swarm of kikaichu hanging above them, seemingly burning and decimating many of the beetles before aiming to assault the swift Jounin on the ground and the area that surrounded him. Whilst the weapons plunged downwards at a vast speed, the figure begins forming hand seals of his own 'Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird → Hare' almost in sync with the blades slicing through the kikaichu, 4 large pillars of stone arose from the earth at the corners of a 5 by 5 yard square, the Namikaze at its center.

"Raiton: Shichū Shibari" the figure spoke aloud, the stone pillars beginning to emanate various bolts of lightning outwards in a spectacle resembling a controlled thunderstorm as they shot outwards in an attempt to shock all which lay within, whilst the weapons continued on its downward path towards the Jounin. A collaboration of fire, lightning and wind.

Returning to the clone, it seemed that the Aburame was quick on his feet, seemingly countering the lightning hound with a shuriken, the clone seemed to focus momentarily on the shuriken thrown as if he attempted to manipulate it once more before the hound had been impacted by it, though it proved that its attempt to assume control of the already manipulated shuriken was no longer possible. Instead as the Aburame continued with a set of hand seals, the weapons littering the floor begin to float, all of the small weaponry, shurikens and kunai are tossed towards the Aburame whilst the rest form a metallic wall separating the rogue shinobi and the thrown projectile directed at them.

Behind the wall of weapons, the clone summons 2 kunai attached to metallic wiring wrapped around the clone's arms as the dangled by the clone's wrist to permit the clone freedom to weave hand seals himself 'Boar  →  Ram  →  Snake  →   Horse  →   Dragon' whilst the flaming projectile impacts the wall of weaponry, to the clone's surprise the flames weren't present when the wall was formed, seemingly engulfing the surrounding area of the wall and singing  that which the figure was incapable of covering, igniting the bandages slightly. In a rush to end it before the rest of their body was consumed by flames, the weapon wall split in half and the clone tossed the twin kunai towards the Aburame Jounin as the distance closed he voiced.

"Raiton: Jibashi" causing a lightning current to trickle along the metallic wiring across to the kunai, infusing it with the current and if at a close enough distance would transfer the current to its target in an attempt to electrocute the shinobi he intended to defeat. Amidst both battles a formidable chakra approaches, whether friendly or antagonistic, it has yet to be proven but given the approach of said chakra came from the forest, it seemed the likelihood of an ally was minimal at best.
