Her sensory abilities active as well as the chakra sensing technique, Kaiu was able to discern the alignment of chakra in the area of her opponent's form. She wasn't sure what sort of chakra, but she did detect the disturbance of the energies surrounding the man. Nonetheless, she reacted quite swiftly by preforming one handed handseals with her free hand that had thrown the kunai. In the same moment she began brought her arm forwards and then began to move it back so the blade stabbed behind her. Before it had made any headway, she vanished, a kunai falling to the ground in her place. She had reappeared behind Ryuku, her feet planted on the glass structure and her blade stabbing back towards his spine.

She was slightly crouched down, her back facing the man, though she was acutely aware of his position and any movements he might make. When she had thrown the kunai earlier she'd marked them with her chakra, thus allowing her to utilize the body replacement technique on them. This had allowed her maneuver. She made no response to his words, but remained ready to alter her movement should he respond in a manner which threatened her significantly.
