All seemed to be going well, at least that was until Hayato adjusted his stance, resulting in Michi's counter being ... well ... countered. Michirama's abdomen was met with a full force kick from Hayato, giving him a painful reminder that he was not strong enough to go toe to toe with his sensei and that the purpose of this session was to retrieve the bell strapped to his waist. As he tumbled backwards the air escaping his lungs without his permission, Michi would be thinking of a way to disengage from the fight in order to reassess the situation. He would come to a skidding halt a good 10 feet away from the Hayato he had been facing off with. He was on his knees bent over and coughing. While the rib was not entirely fractured it would have a mine fracture, a crack along its length, it posed no real threat but would hurt like a bitch for a while. He rummaged into his ninja pouch, he'd dropped his Katana due to the kick but had managed to hold onto the scabbard. He pulled out a smoke bomb and a flash bomb, tossing them between the two and closing his eyes. This would result in the area being covered with smoke, and a very bright flash of light going off just before the smoke engulfed the area, hopefully catching Hayato off guard and shrouding Michi's next move.

Making the clone Seal, Michirama created a simple clone in his position that would act as if he was still regaining his breath. Following this, Michi would make the tiger seal to use the body flicker technique. Disappearing from his position and leaving the clone there. He would reappear in a gathering of bushes, using them to hide while activating his sensing technique. He would sense both Hayato's the one he had faced off against and another who seemed to be hiding off to the side. '' Hayato uses shadow clones, so there's a good chance he wouldn't be facing me head on if I got the bell from the clone he could poof it away and I'd be left with no bell. But what if he's trying to trick me? No, don't think too deeply. ''He would once again make the tiger seal, using the body flicker technique to travel seemingly instantaneously towards the Hayato in hiding.

If he went unhindered, Michirama would appear beside Hayato on his left side, there was no point reaching for the bell just yet, it would be a futile attempt. Instead, he would attempt to use a technique he had only read about in the past. It was very vague but he thought he had an idea on how it worked. By appearing so close to Hayato, Michirama would be partially standing in the shadow his sensei cast, and, channelling chakra through his body and into Hayato's shadow, he would seemingly disappear. This was the "Hiding in Shadow Technique" a simple but certainly useful skill to have. If all went well, Michirama would dissapear from sight, seeming to mysteriously vanish. Even if Hayato attempted to use his sensory skills he would be left confused (hopefully) due to the fact that it would seem like their chakra was mixed together. Now, Michirama would wait, using his own sensing technique to get an idea of what was going on around him. As soon as this happened, the smoke would clear leaving the clone of Michirama fully visible and clearly injured.
