[ Teleporting himself right into things like he did was probably not the smartest idea he'd ever had. After his initial blow was blocked, it meant he had to pull some aerial acrobatics to avoid getting hit himself, using Naruto's attack as a springboard to keep from crashing to the ground. Because he didn't have much by way of forward movement to ricochet from it's not the most graceful of landings, but it gives back the distance he tried to close too quickly. Note to self, propulsion is important, and until he gets a better grasp of his maneuverability with the rinnegan, it's probably best to not pull risky stunts. At least not when the opponent is Naruto.
And this Naruto seems off.
Now that he's gotten a closer look at him, even though it hadn't really been his intention, there are things that seem very amiss. His face isn't as round as it had been. The hair is completely wrong. The bandages on his arm are new. The clothes... eh, he can chalk that one up to having to go with whatever can be found in Cerealia. But the biggest difference is that he's almost too calm, and it feels out of place. ]
That's not my problem.
[ Amassing chakra at his left hand and applying a nature transformation has become something he can do without really focusing on it, the distinct chirping sound piercing the air... and then he's moving again, rushing at Naruto. If fists don't work, go for raw power.

Either way, he's determined to hit him. ]
