As much as Korra's tried her best to work past Naruto's defenses, she hasn't given nearly as much thought to her own, not anticipating readily yet the techniques only available to shinobi. When a pair of strong hands wrap around her calves, Korra starts, blinking down at Naruto before returning a wild grin of her own.

"I'm not a low-level shinobi," she points out, even though Naruto's already acknowledged that in his own way. "And there are a lot more ways for me to bend than just moving my arms and legs. But you would have had me there; I didn't expect you to go under. Not with your wind affiliation."

Taking a deep breath, Korra blows a frigid wind down towards her legs, freezing the droplets running down her body, as well as the immediate vicinity of Naruto's arms. Standing on the surface, it's easy enough for Korra to tug herself away, laughing brightly as she darts a few yards away, standing between the two copies of Naruto. Gaze darting to either side, Korra decides to be nice to Naruto — the real one — by melting the ice first. Hardly a second passes before she's looping both arms over her head again, raising waves of water that quickly loop into a large ball, with air and both of Naruto trapped inside.

Knowing that the water would distort her words too much, Korra simply snickers, waiting to see Naruto's next move. She finds that she's looking forward to it.
