Seeing that a clone was made, Kage would have to prepare himself to handle two of his opponent. He kept note of which was the clone, which was the one that had made a fast movement towards him. But his Sharingan had enabled him to see and predict the movements of the clone easily. With this visual aid, his Gunbai was drawn from his back by his right hand, and a flow of chakra was coursed through it. This chakra formed into a sword-like form around the weapon (Gunbai Sword Technique), which he then used to swing at the clone in an attempt to bisect it as it attempted to approach and run past him. A blow such as this was easily enough to return a Wood Clone to wood.
The oncoming of chakra-infused mist was also apparent to him as it formed. This was one of Kirigakure's signature techniques, which usually hindered doujutsu's viewing capability when it came to viewing chakra. Seeing that this could be used to confuse him a bit, another swing of his Gunbai was made, this time the chakra within it being changed into one of wind nature. This would create a mighty force of wind that was more than capable of blowing away several men off their feet (Gunbai Fanned Wind). But the swing would be different, in that it's radius would be much wider than normal. This was so the wind could fan away not only the mist in front of himself, but also around himself as well. The strength of it which was already mentioned, would be more than enough to create a large gust of wind to ward off the mist for a time. This was to gauge how soon the mist would return, or whether it would return at all if it weren't continually being blown out.
