Shit! The man had simply deflected his attack like it was nothing. It wasn't like he could blame the guy, but still; it had been so effortless for the man that Azuma found himself nearly shocked by the ease at which he had performed the counter. That said, he had more pressing matters to attend to. As the man had blocked with the back of his left hand, he had also redirected Azuma's arm into a compromising position.
He had two options. The first was to hold onto his sword, and thus let its momentum carry his arm into such a position that he would not be able to adequately respond to a proper counter. The second was to let go of the sword, allowing him to counteract the momentum in time to defend, or at least attempt a defense.
The answer was rather obvious.
**** the sword.
Allowing his left hand to relax, Azuma's katana flew out of his hand and to the left, the momentum from the swing carrying over into this launch of sorts. Now capable of reacting with both hands, he observed the man's counterattack. First, the man had begun a right-legged low kick at his left leg. This was, to say the least, quite problematic. That said, there was nothing he could do about it as it was already well on course to hitting him.
Despite this, while getting hit, he would have time to activate his Sharingan. And so, as his opponent's kick made contact with his left knee, Azuma's eyes turned a dark scarlet, swirling before manifesting three additional pupils. This allowed him a much, much more lenient reaction period, as the man's next attack was both blatantly telegraphed and occurring in slow motion.
Raiton chakra had begun to flow through his opponent's right arm, which appeared to be chambering for an uppercut. Seeing as he was in the process of falling forwards, his right leg was still planted, allowing him a degree of mobility. Furthermore, the man's attack was coming from his right side, but Azuma's left. This was where he gained the advantage.
He hit the wrong leg.
Tilting his body to the side over his left shoulder in a fluid, yet oddly sporadic manner, he let himself fall with the right side of his body parallel to the ground, only catching himself with his right hand to absorb the shock of the impact. With the uppercut already well underway, the man's attack whizzed past him, about a foot in front of his face. Then, utilizing the moment to his advantage, Azuma then sprung up, using his right arm as support for what amounted to a brief one armed handstand. Following this, he bent his legs and his right arm, only to extend both only moments later. This spring-like movement created a high-powered, two legged kick upwards into the left side of his opponent's chin, firing him up into the sky.
Following this, Azuma would utilize a Chinese Getup to quickly move himself into a standing position.
Jackass, now my knee hurts.

Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.
