Hidan stands still with a dopey expression on his face while the clone approaches with sword in the air. Seeing his opponent tense his muscles and unconsciously pull back his sword slightly gives Hidan the signal to act. Hidan turns his body so that his right side is forward. He lifts his right leg up into the air and to the left, up around and to the right at had level, and then back down again, creating a high clockwise circular sweep with his leg to intercept the clone's attack mid swing by kicking the clone's hands upward. After completing the high kick and setting the foot back on the ground, Hidan takes advantage of the opening he had made by stepping forward with his left foot while at the same time creating an open palm with his right hand to send striking forward, coupled with Hidan's momentum, into the clone's stomach, smacking the breath right out of him and causing him to stagger. Then Hidan steps forward onto his right foot, making a wider than normal stance so that his body drops lower, while pulling his right hand back and sending a left palm strike forward, upward into the clone's chest, sending him flying up into the air. Hidan makes a quick leap into the air with the power and projectory to position himself in the air above his opponent. He sends one more palm strike down into the clone's back, halting his ascent into the air and instead sending him back down to the ground. Hidan was not instructed about landing so of course Hidan falls down to the ground with a grand face plant.
