Hanako grinned. "Thats alright, it's been a while since I had a challenge." Suddenly a tree root whipped up from the ground between them, knocking them apart. Hanako use her momentum to jump into a tree, keeping her hidden from view. She then whispered "Leaf blades." A couple of the leaves in the tree grew rigid, however Hanako was careful to keep the edges dull. She then threw them at Ryutsuki, and jumped to the ground to keep an eye out for a counter attack.
