Insanely relieved, with just a tinge of awe.
That was exactly how Zel felt when he saw Ramui's blazing fireball engulf the figure that had called himself Ziro. It seemed like the fight was over but, like usual, he was wrong. His face fell when he saw the man standing, most of his flesh charred and smoky from the blast. His silhouette slowly growing clearer as the smoke cleared. He was quite obviously dead on his feet, barely able to summon the strength stand, but continued to stare at Ramui and Zel nonetheless, like he hadn't been fazed by the ninjutsu at all. And to top it off, the bastard actually started to prepare for some kind of jutsu. Despite his grave injuries.
Zel watched with a smile and let him perform the hand seals, instead of tossing a grenade his way and ending it. If Wami had taught him anything, it was to respect a man's final moments. . . even if the man happened to be your enemy. If he wanted to go down swinging, then Zel wouldn't interrupt. He'd counter and evade whatever the dude was doing, no doubt, but he wouldn't interrupt. Especially with a cheap trick like that.
Needless to say, thanks to the astonished look on his face, he started to have second thoughts about his decision shortly afterwards. Ziro had plunged a silver blade into the icy ground, only to pull it out yet again as an ice-coated piece of weaponry. About nine feet long from the hilt, if Zel had to guess. That's when he noticed the gleam in his opponent's eyes, as a pair of newborn clones darted past him and towards Ramui. He was planning something big, it seemed. He wasn't fooling around one bit. Zel smirked, trying to ignore the strain he felt on his feet and ankles. The strain that came with performing three Shunshin a little too soon. He was practically cornered if attacked, though he was sure Ziro was unaware of that. And he definitely wanted to keep it that way. With a cocky confidence to his tone of voice, he smiled.
Immediately after releasing his pre-battle "statement", Zel would swiftly perform a short series of hand seals and perform the Sakurai, surrounding himself with a multitude of sparkling blue petals that seemed to have materialized out of nowhere. "Let's get to it then, bozo!"
