The woman remained silent as Kaede taunted her. There was no sign of her at all for awhile... not even upon the water. It wasn't disturbed in the slightest, and just when Kaede was about to leave... the earth exploded behind her, and the woman appeared, wrapping her arms tight around Kaede's own, pinning them to her sides. She fought through it and broke free... just in time to see the Iwa kunoichi appear right before her, grinning under her mask as her fist turned into black iron. It was hurled low for her stomach, moving fast and hard. If she hadn't appeared so suddenly, the Kumo nin might have had more time to react...<br/><br/>She took one step back, dust flying from her sandals as the woman twisted her fist into Kaede's gut... but she stood her ground. The woman looked up, narrowing her eyes upon the Kumo nin's. The kunoichi withdrew her fist, while her counterpart, appearing just like her in every way (save for the iron skin), loomed behind her. She was trapped between the two of them and just from appearances, Kaede couldn't tell which one was the clone and which was the real one.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tetsura 1;<br/>Move: Appears in an adjacent square to Kaede, having burrowed in the earth.<br/>Standard: Grapple, does not provoke an AoO.
