“She’s fast.”.

Kei’s clone stood at the ready before she used body flicker as his sharingan could see the familiar way in which chakra was exerted just before the technique was activated. Even though he didn’t know from which direction she’d attack he was already a second ahead of her. He had immediately activated the dojutsu after seeing the woman awaken like some kind of sleeper agent, surprised at how her hidden personality had bypassed his sharingan. And also quite nervous at the prospect of there being someone strong enough to create such mental barriers. “Eito?” He asked himself in thought just as the woman re-appeared in front of him; in full sight.

If his body was still able to function as it did before his surgery, this would’ve been a whole lot easier but in his current physical state the clone knew it had little options left as it saw her hand approach in slow motion. Straightening himself slightly he leaned his head just out of the way while turning it to her hand, clamping his teeth down upon it just as his right hand aimed to clasp around her neck in a vice grip that was next to impossible for her to avoid as her body momentum was driving her body forward into her assault and into Kei's hand.

The clone would then bite through, hard enough to draw blood, before bringing his leg up between their bodies and side-kicking her away. The bite would’ve been painful, and the kick enough to take her breath and send her back a few steps, but both of these were but distractions. It became clear that his fighting style revolved around not doing the obvious, quick thinking, and careful planning, as he had left an explosive tag ‘glued’ to the front of her neck from back when he grabbed it; hiding it from sight by angling his hand so that it'd be out of her field of vision even if she looked down.

“Sayonara.”.

Before she could even realize what had happened, Kei detonated the explosive tag to blow her head straight off or rip such a massive chunk out of her neck that death would be unavoidable.

In the forest, the real Kei stared at the little girl with a sense of curiosity. Her behavior was odd, and confusing, but he liked her positivity and smiled along with her. “Aren’t you sad about your father?”. He asked as she hugged him. While actually she was hugging a shadowclone as he formed one in his previous location just before body flickering away, timed perfectly so that the swap would be unnoticeable to all but the most trained eyes. The poof of smoke around the clone seemingly from the transformation technique as it changed back from Yuzume's appearance to Kei.

The original Kei,  who was also back to looking like himself, then used silent killing to watch the girl and his newl formed clone from a distance, never making an audible sound as the clone continued talking. “Tell me everything you know and I’ll promise I’ll help you. Where are the others? Take me to them.”
