Shien scratched the side of his cheek just under his right eye while nervously chuckling at what she replied with. She wanted to hit something, of course. And she wanted him to be the punching bag. He wasn't going to let her just annihilate him. he was used to her fighting style somewhat already. That first stage of the sage mode was clear enough. Get ready Shien. He thought to himself and quickly reached into his back pocket, bringing out one of the explosive tagged kunai. The moment she was coming at him, he would reveal what was in his hand.

He knew about that jet thing she had, it was amazing that someone was able to do that with her body through willpower alone. But it was a tactic that was obvious for someone that didn't focus on strategy, or at least didn't seem like they did. When she started coming at him, the speed was great but the momentum build up and slowing down would be the difficult thing to do.

Shien brought his hands around into the tiger hand seal and used the body flicker so that he could move backwards and to the left, outside of her reach while he lobbed the kunai at her. With his skill in shuriken jutsu, Aurora would be colliding with that kunai and giving it enough of a force to blow up. It wasn't a deadly explosive, enough to shove her back and send her toppling or at least suffering some concussive damage while she barreled through the smoke. But it would slow her down enough for Shien to retreat back into the treeline.

From there, she wouldn't be able to utilize her speed to the fullest and have to knock over tree after tree, and mess up the terrain for someone that emphasized using terrain tactics in a fight to get the best benefit out of them. This was a test of biding his time and trying to keep her slow enough and in a tight space.
