Safaia used her free hand to push back the hair that had fallen in front of her eyes. Tenten pulled out a small cylinder. It glowed brightly in her hand and then extended out into a staff. Safaia didn't feel like waiting. She was similar to Sasori and Deidara when it came to waiting. She didn't like it period whether it was her waiting or making someone else wait. Tenten stood ready. Safaia swung her sword and Tenten blocked it with her staff. Safaia ran her blade down the staff towards Tenten's hands. She either was going to allow them to be sliced off or she was going to let go. She did the latter. Tenten let go of her staff but instantly formed the seal of the Ram.
"Break apart." She said.
The staff turned into a tri-staff. She then reached out and grabbed the handle of the staff. The other parts of the staff wrapped around the blade of the sword. Tenten pulled on it and the sword flew out of Safaia's hands. Tenten also let go of the staff and closed her hands turning them into fists. She readied herself to start fighting with Taijutsu. She began to punch Safaia repeatedly across the face before ending her combo with a kick. The force caused Safaia to be flipped onto her back. Tenten lifted her foot to stomp on Safaia's face but the female Akatsuki recovered and moved out of the way. Safaia shot to her feet pulling out two daggers. She spun them around in her hands catching one upside down and the other right side up. She swung at Tenten with both daggers. One of them catching Tenten's shirt, slicing it halfway open and the other caught Tenten's arm. Blood leaked out of the wound. Tenten unhooked her scroll and opened it, draping the end over her arm. In a cloud of smoke multiple weapons shot out towards Safaia. The green and red haired girl did her best to block the onslaught but she couldn't block them all. She was hit all over her body by the weapons. After the onslaught, Tenten looked slightly relieved at the sight of Safaia's defeated body. Then suddenly, the body turned into a weapon covered log.
"Damn it, kawarimi." Tenten said.
"She turned around to see Safaia in the air with her sword raised above her head. She brought the sword down hard and sliced right into Tenten's left shoulder and down into her chest. Safaia smiled.
"You Leaf kids are weak. Especially you kunoichis."
No sooner did she say that, Tenten was replaced with log with a big cut in it.
"You've got to be kidding me."
She didn't have time to react when she felt a hard steel bar slam into her back. Tenten had regained her tri staff, turned it back into a normal staff and drove it into Safaia's back. Safaia stood up with a very ticked off expression on her face.
"What was that comment about Leaf kunoichis?"
"I'm going to kill you."
Tenten knew she had her opponent on the ropes now. She was completely underestimated and she was going to use that to her advantage. Safaia charged at Tenten. Satori's sister slammed the end of the staff on the ground and on the other end a blade shot out. She then spun the staff in the air and stabbed the ground with the blade.
"Hi Ga Tsuku Jishin." (Catch Fire Earthquake)
The ground shook when a flame shot from Tenten's weapon. It left a fire trail as it raced towards Safaia. The female Akatsuki jumped into the air hoping to escape the flame. Tenten shot her hand into the air and the fire followed her hand's command. Safaia frowned when she saw the flame at her heals. Safaia turned in the air and swung at the fire.
"Scatter." Tenten called.
The flame shot outward into tiny pieces that almost resembled Sakura petals. Safaia looked all around her as she began to descend towards the ground. She knew that this attack wasn't over. As soon as she landed the fire petals closed in and engulfed her. She swung furiously at the flames but it was totally futile. The flames burned away her Akatsuki robe and was starting at her clothes. She even tossed her sword aside to roll on the ground. The attack subsided and Tenten walked over to her fallen foe. Safaia shot up and stabbed Tenten in the stomach. Tenten yelped in pain as she felt the cold blade enter her body. Safaia punched Tenten across the face. Tenten pushed herself away from her opponent before she could hit her again and stumbled back.
"One thing you should know, you stupid bitch is that you never walk over to your fallen opponent even if you think they're dead." Safaia said.
Tenten did the only thing she could think of. She grabbed her giant scroll from its hooks and threw it at Safaia. It fell short and landed at Safaia's feet. The Akatsuki member smiled.
"You serious. That's your last attack."
Tenten extended her index and middle fingers on her right hand.
"Ryu no Mai." (Dragon Dance)
Safaia's eyes widened as she noticed that the scroll started to spin around her. It released its flap and the scroll unraveled itself. Safaia was surrounded by the scroll. Then weapons began to appear from the scroll and launched themselves at Safaia. The female Akatsuki had no where to go but to the ground as she lost all strength in her body not to mention a lot of blood from her wounds. She closed her eyes as the weapons continued to attack her even after she drew her last breath. Tenten held her wound with both hands as she leaned against a tree and slid down to the ground.
