Hanzo kept his guard up at all times, so for Hotaru to catch him off guard was a very low possibility. Not to mention, she was using tactics he was well acquainted with, the biggest benefit being his sharingan, in conjunction with his speed. The moment she body flickered when he threw the Kunai loaded with the explosive tag. Hanzo decided to take a major risk, he weaved the hand seals Boar → Ram → Snake → Horse → Dragon. This being done during the transition of her dodging the Kunai he had thrown, he followed up instantly after he threw his Kunai, since she dodged before it reached her. Hanzo pivoted his stance as he realized she was in the Gentle fist stance, his range being close as in term’s it would be checkmate had he not prepared for this situation. Not to mention, him using one Kunai made him more able to respond to her counter. The moment he pivoted his stance to face her, the second she came in for her first 2 strikes. Hanzo shot his hands forward and aimed his hands directly at her, this would easily stop her in her tracks as Hanzo had charged enough lightning chakra to make it visible what counter he had. If Hanzo was going to lose this fight, he was going to make sure Hotaru didn’t get away so easily. Had she attempted to continue her attack instead of taking the type of warning Hanzo showed he would release the voltage at her, the lightning traveling swiftly towards her attempting to shock her with great amount of voltage. This would easily shock her immensely as right after, since she was in motion, would strike Hanzo’s chakra points easily canceling his chakra and made it more difficult to move as well. At this point Hanzo had attempted a stalemate, personally because he refused failure. Had she heeded the warning instead of continued her attack, Hanzo would mention when it was safe, his sharingan still being able to read some of her movements before she can perform them “I say we call this a stalemate since both of us refuse to lose.” His voice seemed assured that he wanted the tie, but he waited to see what Hotaru would say. After all this battle was hard fought on both ends.
