[nashida]

Nashida watches as her steel clone tries to aim a punch at Jun, though the strike is clumsy, as the other Genin moves in as though to strike at the clone. Nashida herself had never really trained much for physical combat, and it shows in the inelegant attack it tries to hit Jun with. Jun's own training likely surpassed Nashida's own combat experience, and is proven when Jun manages to twist around her in order to throw a palm strike at the clone's back, which causes the hidden blade to extend through the thin steel of the clone's back, an attack that deals enough damage to the clone to make it return to plain steel, rather than being somewhat alive. As Jun withdraws her fumei ha, the steel homunculus falls over into the snow, its stance heavily imbalanced when stuck in its position.

Still, she feels quite proud of the effect of the weapon they'd crafted together, and she agrees with Jun's assessment with a simple nod of pleasure. She withdraws the steel from the clone and forms another, though this one now takes the first attack, rushing directly towards Jun with its arms outstretched as though planning to strangle the other Genin. Of course, should Jun find herself overwhelmed by the sheer size and weight of this clone, it wouldn't actually continue its assault; Nashida didn't want to actually hurt her lover, after all, but she also thought it quite likely that Jun would be able to handle being on the defensive with the hidden weapon as well. She seemed quite skilled to Nashida, and she wonders if this was how the Fuuinjutsu specialist had felt upon seeing the blonde woman working in her forge to make this same hidden blade with her assistance. She thought it was quite likely.

[attr="class","skullbody"]As the girl made managed to stab the clone that had come towards her, the girl would see it vanish only for a new one to be formed rather quickly.
[break][break]
The girl would note that it would go on the attack and would drop onto her leaving her in a bit of a bind the weight was hefty and made it hard to move, but not enough to hurt her too much as she laid down onto the ground and the girl placed her hands around her throat the girl would move her limb towards the clones neck and would unsheathe the hidden blade and push it into the next of the creature and using whatever strength she had she'd tried to turn it over in order to get it off of her and then stand up as she looked over at her.
[break][break]
"Quite the grip she's quite hefty isn't she...but it seems it has versatility even when cornered." she'd cough for a moment and run her hand along her neck in order to alleviate the pain from the clones fierce grip. "Are there any other manners you would like to demonstrate the weapons versatility?" she would wonder thinking on the weapon for but a moment.

[nashida]

Nashida smiles with pride when she can see Jun finish the clone and even slip her way out, and she does a few hand seals before pulling the steel using to make the clone back to herself, reforming them back into shuriken once more while Jun asks if there are any other methods of demonstrating the versatility of the hidden blade, but it wasn't a weapon she'd thought much of using on her own. She was sure she'd be able to make more later, if she wanted one of her own, but she doesn't really need weapons that badly, and if she ever did, she'd just make the ones she needs with her steel right then and there.

She thinks about it, then shakes her head, shrugging her shoulders.

"No, there's not really anything else I think I could use to show you how versatile it is. But it's a very helpful weapon, especially as a hidden tool that you can use rapidly in close combat. It should prove extremely useful in the upcoming Chuunin Exams for you!"

Nashida smiles down at the much shorter woman, and she reaches her hands around Jun's waist and helps lift her up in order to meet her in a kiss. With this, she starts carrying her back towards her own home, feeling much better about Jun's chances in the exams now that she can see that her skill with the hidden blade is clearly quite effective.
