‘Of course... her hair.’
Yeah sure, the sharingan couldn’t do everything. It was probably inferior when compared to the byakugan. But seeing the chakra course through the strands in Sagisō’s hair were the basics. As the nerve frying technique had completed its use, sparks flickered from both hands before they became engulfed in lightning chakra.
“Tch.” Kiro clicked his tongue in annoyance as he was then forced to send chakra around his legs and feet. There was only one other time where he had to go this fast. Of course he wouldn’t have time to change the nature in both. The leg wrapped in Sagisō’s hair was the priority. By only a hair, Kiro managed to get the lightning around his leg. Unlike wind or lightning, basic chakra could only boost the piercing ability of an object by so much. Even if the hair had turned tough as steel, it wasn’t busting through the lightning armor.
First the hands, then the feet... Sagisō was literally making him go through the basic, step-by-step process he first used when experimenting with his lightning armor!
As for his other foot, Kiro could only wince in pain as hair went through the sandals. Drops of red began adding to her partially dyed hair. His blood slowly mixing with hers. By the time the lightning chakra formed around the second leg, he had already dealt the impact, so nothing really happened there. Of course she was smart enough to let her other leg collapse from the pressure. Well, if Sagisō was hoping for a guy to fall for her, she’d leave them in a bloody mess. Literally.
So instead falling completely onto the blanket of porcupine-like hair, Kiro continued to hold up Sagisō’s unresponsive leg up to keep his balance. He kept the foot that had dealt the kick face down on her chest area as they landed. His other knee was still bent, so when they landed, it looked like he was kneeling.
“Alright, I understand you want to keep me close but this is too much.” The Uchiha spoke as he quickly went to work with the lightning charged kunai. Focusing on the kunai’s form, he melded the chakra in a way to lengthen the blade. Then he prepared to stab it into her hair to try cutting the strands around his leg. He was being rather generous here. If Kiro had too, he’d exert full force to completely ruin Sagisō’s hair.

“I suppose it’s almost time.” The clone of Kiro, still on the roof of the closest building overlooking the battle, had it’s eyes up at the sky. A brief flash of blue was seen from the darkness above, mysteriously causing the clone’s eyes to instinctively glance in the original training hall’s direction. Seemingly dropping its curiosity in an instant, the clone stood up, his red eyes once again directed towards the fight. Unlike Kiro, who only had time to quickly focus on a part of the body, the clone had nearly gotten a complete chakra cloak around it. Now it just needed to infuse lightning...
