[Pulling out a scroll and his brush, Sai crouches down, leaning the paper against his knee as he quickly draws something. Standing up once again and forming a hand seal, two Ink Lions appear to jump out of the scroll, growing in size as they sprint towards Naruto]
[He spins round and staggers back a little - arms flailing when he realises what Sai's up to - running back away from him, hands coming up in front of his face, forming a seal that would have clones popping up around him.]
[The clones take on Sai's ink lions, leaving Naruto to Sai - which is a little tricky. He reaches out a hand, grabbing Sai by the wrist and pushing him back.]
[Having his arm grabbed leaves him unable to actually hit Naruto with the weapon, not that he actually would. Extending his free arm, he grabs Naruto's other wrist before he has the chance to do anything else.]
[His response is to push - he doesn't intend to actually hurt Sai - so when instinct has his knee moving to strike him in the stomach, it's too late to stop himself when he realises the problem.]
[He had more to say, but his words were cut off as the knee to his abdomen causes him to lurch forward. Without even thinking about it he releases Naruto's arm, grabbing the sword from his trapped hand and swinging it towards the other's neck.]
[The grin that erupted on his face when he realised his knee had collided with Sai's stomach sticks, even as Sai reaches forward with the sword, eyes widening as he staggers back again, grabbing a kunai from the pocket on his trousers and lifting it up to defend himself.]
[A loud clink is heard as the sword and kunai collide, Sai's mouth lifting up into a smile as it reminds him of the first time the two of them had met.]
[Seeing the punch gives Sai just enough time to step back- it still connects but not as hard as that knee had been. Deciding to return it, a foot flies out into Naruto's stomach before Sai leaps back across the water, pulling out a scroll and brush to draw something once more.]
[He doesn't quite manage to grin at that, eyes widening as the foot stretches out. It hits, and he flies back, and with a loud splash into the water.
He splashes around for a bit, finally finding his feet and pulling himself up out of the water - just in time to see Sai with his scroll and brush out again.]
You already did that once, Naruto~ [There is a hint of amusement at his voice as he kicks out, foot smashing into the clones face as it flies up towards him.]
[His anger is starting to bubble. Realising it is what makes him stop - sucking in a deep breath before relaxing completely - shoulders slumped, arms at his sides.

[Two more lions follow, racing towards the clones as Sai himself chases after the original Naruto, unsheathing the tanto on his back. ]

[And just to counter that, he draws a bird instead, leaping onto it as it emerges and hovers above Naruto, just out of his reach.]

[He shakes his head a little to try and rid himself of some the water in his hair, head tipping back to look up at Sai.]
Damnit!
[He uses Kagebunshin again, and grabs his clone by the hands, swinging it around and throwing him up into the sky.]
