The sword takes two hands on his kunai to block, and he's glad for the shape of it for that added security. He likes having hands.
The ducking is a clear sign of what's to come, and he pushes against Sasuke's sword in the hopes it will unbalance the other. He might have flipped backwards, with the help of a little chakra but moving to the side is much simpler without it, and he brings the kunai, with the movement, shifting to unlock it from Sasuke's sword, moving right in again to strike back.]
