We both stare at each other, staring at each other unblinkingly.
So simultaneously we take a step forward going with each other.
'It seems you're underestimating me, you're naive if you think the same trick will work again'
Somehow in these moments my mind is cloudy, although it is almost insignificant but it still persists.
So when we were getting close too fast, I quickly activated my hardening ability without worrying about making a surprise attack.
Instantly my knuckles start to darken until they turn a dark metallic color.
I concentrate only on the tips of my fists so I don't use up so much chakra.
Satsuki dilates her gaze a bit as she sees Yubeng's fists turn dark but quickly returns to normal.
When my fist is about to collide with her I see that she visibly slows down in her tracks.
'Do you want to make the same move as a moment ago?, she dreams of it'
Without stopping my fist, I begin to mobilize my other fist to prevent it from attacking me from the side.
To my surprise I see that when we are close to her suddenly she makes a small jump taking advantage of the laws of gravity she wants to attack me.
'Do you want to add your weight to the strength of your fist?'
Then my knuckles and his gun collide making sounds of metal colliding.

So at the moment my fist collides with her I see that she takes advantage of the force of my fist to push herself backwards.
This causes her to back off a bit.
When her feet hit the ground I see her quickly lunge at me aiming her gun at my abdomen.
So I lower my body posture and punch forward.
Because of how close we are and the fact that she got ahead of me which didn't give me enough time and space to get going.
So by colliding and using the same tactic as before causing my body to destabilize on a small scale.
Then she quickly gets up to take advantage of the hole in my defense.
Although my body becomes unstable, I quickly become stable again.
But in this interval of time I quickly raise my fist.
Because the momentum of the battle belongs to her, I have no choice but to be defensive.
So we start a clash battle where I'm on the defensive.
clink clink clink
clink clink clink
So in an exchange my hand seems to miss which causes a hole in my defense.
Obviously she doesn't miss the opportunity and quickly launches an attack.
The kunai flies towards me.
I try my best to move to the side to dodge it but I still can't do it completely so I opt to bite the bullet and walk straight towards the attack.
Then the kunai sticks in my arm but I don't stop and rush forward hitting with my other fist (He still doesn't control her ability enough to harden any part of her body, for now he can only do it with his hands)
Seeing me coming straight at her, she lifts her gun to collide with my fist.
She probably thinks of using the same tactic as before taking advantage of the momentum of my fist to back away.
'Oh no you won't'
I then start to build up a large amount of chakra causing my fist to turn completely black.
I then slam my full force forward causing her to find it unbearable to contain my attack but she still persists and pushes back.
So I don't know when a little smoke bomb goes off and ends up covering me.
'Shit'
So I quickly back away from the smoke.
COF cof
Then suddenly I felt a sense of danger.
From the smoke I saw that Satsuki was jumping through her.
What caught my attention was the stamps he was making with his hand.
'Shit!!'
Seeing that he was making hand seals, I knew immediately that I couldn't dodge so I concentrated enough chakra in my hands to harden up to the middle of my forearm.
The moment I accumulate chakra she spits out a large ball of fire.
Although it's not a tenth large, it's the size of half my body or maybe less.
In other words, compared to the 13 year old Sasuke, this one is lacking.
I quickly feel a wave of heat pass over my face as the ball is less than a second from impacting my hand.
When it finally hits me I feel how my hands get very hot, to the point of being unbearable due to the temperature.
Although it is unbearable I still do not give up because if I do the consequences are not very pretty.
Then when I was managing to contain the fire out of the corner of my eyes I notice that another fireball is approaching towards the one I have.
They then collide resulting in a small explosion that sends me flying a couple of meters causing me to crash into a tree behind.
*spits mouthful of blood*
"*COF cof*..."
I stand still in pain while in the burning fire that hasn't gone out yet I see Satsuki slowly approaching.
"*slight heavy breathing* You will no longer escape"
I can see the sweat running down his face.
Tiredness is obvious.
Then I notice that his hand is shaking a little.
'Hehe, looks like my attack was effective after all'
Then I see that he has a kunai in his hand while she is walking towards me.
"Hey...cough...stop...you already won...cough"
"No not yet"
She doesn't stop and keeps walking towards me.
"Stay away from me...cough"
But she doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
Seeing her gaze fixed on me that contains murderous intent hidden in them, she knows exactly what she wants.
At this point fear begins to enter me.
"...You can't kill me... you'll be a criminal and the whole konoha will chase you"
Then I crawl back as I go leaving a little trail of blood.
I try to get as far away as I can.
Hearing my words she pauses a bit and it seems that she realizes something.
After a few moments of thinking about it, she continues to come towards me but I can tell that her killing intent has largely disappeared.
Even though you noticeably don't feel like killing me I can still feel through her eyes that she's not going to go easy on me.
"I told you to plead"
Because I don't have that much strength right now she can only move me two meters from the tree position.
Ignoring my words she reaches where the tree stands while she gasps slightly.
The moment she steps on my blood left on the tree part my eyes light up slightly.
"So... Know that you forced me into this"
The moment I say those words she realizes something but it's already too late.
From the side of the tree grew a bunch of rope-like roots colliding with Satsuki submerging her body in them.
She then clenched my fist causing the vines to tighten.
Then I miraculously get up and run to her.
Satsuki can't do anything, she has no chakra, she's tired and she's also imprisoned.
With all my strength I hit the side of her head causing her to pass out on the spot.
Mercilessly, if she were to change positions, she would do the same so she has no time to take pity on the enemy.
"Hahh*heavy breathing* ahhh hahh*quick gasp* ahhh..."
