（ someone who immediately goes for the face is likely accustomed to trying to — needing to, more specifically — end fights quickly. itachi shifts his weight to his back leg and lets the momentum carry him just beyond the range of that punch. his preference will mostly be to dodge — he is still too badly damaged to have any desire to take a direct blow unless there is no other choice.

he pivots on his back heel into a crescent kick, aimed at the man's side. ）
