Kuroda smirked when his fist met it's target. Unfortunately, the hit wasn't as strong as he thought it would be. He felt his feet being swept from underneath him. Leaning back, he pushed off the ground with his hands and landed back on his feet. He noticed that his opponent had sheathed his sword. Interesting move. But as long as he didn't have to deal with the blade, that was fine with him. Moving back in, he began trading blows with Kyo. He had to admit, he was impressed with Kyo's skills so far. But this was taking too long for his liking.<br/><br/>When he saw Kyo about to kick him while simultaneously drawing his sword again, Kuroda knew he needed to get some distance and put the fight back on his terms. Instead of blocking the kick, he let it hit him, leaning back a bit to reduce the force of impact. But he wasn't trying to block the sword strike either. His hands clapped together instead. He was using one of the first techniques he'd copied with his Sharingan, and one of his favorites.<br/><br/><strong>Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!</strong><br/><br/>A sudden, powerful gust of wind shot out from the Uchiha. His plan was to use the powerful wind to blast the swordsman back away from him. He didn't need to take the swordsman out, just out of the way long enough to reach the spy. When he turned and looked though, he saw that the spy had been moved, and was being protected by one of the other Genin. Reina, if he remembered right. His frown deepened to a scowl. Was he the only one who was willing to follow orders around here?<br/><br/>He was only able to catch the end of the conversation going on between Reina and Seiyuri, speculating if the real Izuka had been the one to show up. He shouted over to them. "When he first showed up, I activated my Sharingan for a reason. I wanted to know for sure what we were dealing with." He looked back over to Kyo, not wanting to take his eyes off his opponent for too long. His Sharingan did more than just copy techniques and track movements. It allowed him to see through genjutsu. And while it couldn't see the chakra network like the Byakugan could, it could see the flow of the chakra. "As far as my eyes can tell, he isn't a genjutsu or holding a transformation. So unless there's a Hyuuga clan member here who can contradict me, I'm inclined to believe he's the real one. And I'm sorry, but how well do any of us know Izuka, or what he would make us do for an exam? He's known as the mad hermit for a reason."
