Hanzo kept his calm through the ordeal, his sharingan locked on Hotaru as she hurried to dodge the attack. Her body flicker was read through clearly by Hanzo’s sharingan, the hand seals being read easily. The moment the fireball was released and Hotaru dodged it, Hanzo pinpointed Hotaru’s location and read the hand seals she was performing, through his sharingan wasn’t developed enough to copy it. Hanzo was at least able to read the ones she was performing, doing that and noticing her next position, as she lowered down and pressed her hands on the ground. Hanzo leaped into the sky in seconds, he wasted no time and weaved the hand seal Tiger and distributed his chakra equally. From that a clone would emerge right next to him, Hanzo then followed up by performing hand seals like at the beginning of the fight. At this point his afterimage clones were gone and only Hanzo was in midair, he had leapt the moment Hotaru pressed her hands on the ground giving him the chance to dodge her attack. After the clone was successfully created in midair, Hanzo weaved the hand seals Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger. After he had done so he began to focus chakra into his stomach, as for his shadow clone, he proceeded to pull shurikens from his pouch about 6 in total and hand them each located between his fingers.

Hanzo and his cloned moved in pure synergy as they were located behind Hotaru in midair. This was the gift of Hanzo using afterimage clone technique, since he been behind Hotaru when he used fireball jutsu, he was able to move his position to land behind her once more after she followed with her own lightning attack. The spiderweb below was obvious, but had missed as Hanzo was now in the air with his clone. That’s when Hanzo and his clone combined attacks and followed with a deadly move. Hanzo released a volley of small fireballs, but inside of them? The shurikens in which the clone had pulled out would be thrown into the flames and released in conjunctions to rain from the sky. Hanzo had created 6 miniature fireballs, and his clone had thrown 6 shurikens, 1 in each fireball. As they rained down from the sky Hotaru would have a hard time being able to dodge this attack, mostly because it came from above and would attempt to cover her exit routes. Hanzo was plotting ahead and using his attacks in conjunction smoothly. Had this been successful, Hotaru would find herself being bombarded with fireballs which consisted of shurikens which would cut through her flesh and burn it right after, cauterizing any wound created. The damage would easily reach to 2nd degree burns with prolonged exposure with possibilities of deep cuts.

After the combination was performed, Hanzo had his clone tilt towards its right side, to grab Hanzo by the arm, only to fling him towards a tree branch to land on something quickly. Hanzo would easily follow and landed on a branch, his sharingan still active at all times following Hotaru’s chakra signal. Hanzo was showing his abilities in combat to his fullest potential, his combinations being timed perfectly resulted in many difficult scenarios for Hotaru. After Hanzo had successfully landed, he would disperse his clone and regain the chakra he had utilized from it. After all he only used it to throw the Shurikens in conjunction. Hanzo then waited to see what Hotaru would respond with after such an attack.
