Adela had managed to dart back, but it wasn't enough to completely dampen the blow to her abdomen - and she wasn't fast enough to substitute either! She was light enough to be sent flying, nothing more than a grunt leaving her breathless when she landed on her feet as she tried to stop herself from grimacing. She's fast, she couldn't help the absent thought as she regained herself - that might bruise later but she could feel that it wasn't all she was capable of.

Forget testing strength. She couldn't afford to do that.

Several shuriken were whipped out of her pouch and flung towards her, a basic technique as she used her speed to dart through the trees for cover. They started to have paper bombs attached at some point - low impact ones, since it was a sparring match - but eventually they stopped entirely. In the underbrush, Adela formed the seals for Earth Seal: Double Suicide Decapitation and took a breath as she went underground, focused on Tsunade's position and planning on surfacing a few feet behind her. Hopefully she could make it there before she had to surface for air, or worse.
