Hanzo wasn’t an idiot, he could read everything especially the movements Hotaru followed to dodge his assault from above. Though there was one thing Hanzo knew best and it was to catch his opponents off guard. Hanzo kept his calm and unlocked his body flicker by weaving the hand seal, while his back was turned. The moment he finished the tiger hand seal he followed up with weaving Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake. That’s when something struck him from behind, his eyes rolling back as his body fell forward from the branch. It was the attack Hotaru had followed with, she had performed the Vacuum palm, the attack seemed to have been successful, not to mention that she had just finished dealing with that assault from above, so her expecting Hanzo to have a trick up his sleeve at this point was highly unlikely. But this is where Hanzo dispersing his clone came into play, as it preserved extra chakra and returned it to Hanzo.

Hanzo falling forward would seem like Hotaru had finally landed her attack on Hanzo, the speedy devil that was quick witted and relentless on his attacks. The loud thud would be heard, not to mention during his fall Hotaru followed up and used the senbon technique which used water, sending about 10 senbons in Hanzo’s direction all moving at a high speed and seemed impossible to dodge for Hanzo since he had been struck by her first attack. The loud thud that followed after these events was confirmed to be a fail attempt, instead a log would be located in the place of where Hanzo had ‘supposedly’ fallen. Using the body replacement Jutsu which followed in the use of Body flicker right after would result in Hanzo appearing directly behind Hotaru, his speed exceeded hers, her byakugan was truly a blessing for situations like this, but the sheer movements Hanzo performed and using the body replacement to attempt and throw Hotaru off, would hopefully work on his end. His position landing directly behind her, a Kunai in his hand which was wrapped in a explosive tag, a special surprise Hotaru would more than likely not notice. Hanzo wasted no time as the moment he landed behind her, he launched the Kunai directly for her from behind, the kunai itself was thrown with immense precision and was aimed to reach Hotaru in little time as Hanzo had landed about 7 feet behind her. The Kunai was aimed for the center of her back, but the moment it closed in Hanzo would detonate the explosive tag and caused it to explode the moment it reached her regardless of the Kunai making contact or not. Had this been successful Hotaru would be hit by the explosion which would result in burn damage and many wounds on top of that. Hanzo hopped that his surprise attack landed successfully mostly because he was starting to feel fatigue, he had been moving constantly and using Jutsu’s. It was only a matter of time before the fight would be over. Hanzo then waited in his position to see the results of his surprise attack.
