Sasori panted heavily, his new toy was making him sweat. Kali hid her face behind a green fan. It was fascinating to watch her against his puppets. All the time he'd spent rebuilding Hiruko was clearly wasted as she merely danced over him placing one light flick with said fan on the head of his armor puppet to split the entire thing in half. He was down to his Performance of a Hundred Puppets and she was continuing to hold her own. "Sasori-san," she nearly purred causing him to falter slightly in his attack. She spun like a dancer and cartwheeled away from the area she was about to be cornered in.
He had never seen anything like this. Kali fought with grace. Utilizing wind chakra to enhance attacks in short bursts. She never attacked from a distance, which seemed to be the only advantage he had. She kept to close range weapons and jutsu. Her dance consisted of specific steps that seemed to be her own replacement for hand signs. Her body continued to curve in some sensual ways as she arched her back to avoid an attack by one of his puppets. Rolling her head left, her right hand wove upwards to push an oncoming blade away from her. Her left foot hooked the puppet with the sword and pulled it towards the ground where it was instantly buried upon her foot touching the ground.
Never had a future puppet been so exciting. Time was passing faster than he expected as he glanced at the sun. A stupid idea as the blond girl threw a kunai at him. He barely got the puppet to block it in time before noticing the explosive tag and thrusting it away right before it blew just close enough for him to be pushed back a few feet.
Kali was faring about the same as the Akatsuki member. He kept her on her toes and she wasn't half certain she could win this fight. This was a battle of wits and she wasn't used to those. She should have approached this fight with a different tactic, but it was too late now. She wasn't prepared for many long ranged attacks. The blond spotted a single hole in the puppets and dropped into the ground before reappearing directly behind Sasori. Taking her one chance, she whipped her closed fan towards his neck in an attempt to finally end this. Sasori smiled as his puppets grabbed hold of her. He turned to face her, "Now my little doll, it is time for you to join my collection. You should feel honored that your talent and beauty will be preserved in my art collection for years to come."
The fox froze, realizing that she had one option left as the puppet master pushed a glass to her lips. Her form shifted instantly as her dress tore and all immediately surrounding puppets were forced either back or to break.
Before Sasori now stood an eight tailed kitsune. Her fur was a golden color and her ears seemed a little larger than what he believed to be normal. A few swishes of her tail and nearly all of his remaining puppets were gone. She growled before pushing him back. "Taking a quick inventory of his remaining collection, he had few options and elected to simply fight with himself. The biggest downside to the cursed jutsu keeping him alive as the lack of a puppet body so he took to dragging a few around with him.
The last bit of the fight would be an even match. Kali's lack of distance being her hindrance and Sasori's ability to die easily. She snapped at him, quickly destroying another puppet, before his coil wrapped around her muzzle. Pulling him forward with the coil only moved the puppet and it was dealt with as well. Kali scratched the now slack coil off her nose before placing a simple seal around the area and releasing one large fireball jutsu. Through her human body. Sasori laid motionless on the ground after the smoke cleared. Kali breathed a sigh of relief, still unsure how she had won. Sifting back to human she check for any kind of pulse, but one again, found nothing. She had done it, she had defeated Sasori of the Red Sand.
