She should probably feel pleased with herself that she'd apparently surprised him (and earned a counter attack, at that) but...that was still a difficult thing to do mid-spar. Maybe later.

Quickly, a thick shield of rock spread out from her upturned palm to deflect and protect against the rain of fire. It didn't help the heat from the fire, but being slightly singed by the heat was better than being burned by the fire, and there was no way she'd have found a safe branch in time.

Plus, it gave her some freedom to prepare another jutsu while hidden by the half-dome of rock. When the shield crumbled into pebbles, both of her hands were extended outward again (immediately adjusting her aim for where he actually was) and a spray of kunari-shaped stone shot upward at him from her hands (it wasn't that impressive, but they were designed to violently explode into sharp fragments of rock when they impacted anything, so there was that).
