Mitsuo saw Ukiyo emerge from the top of the burning pillar and kick off, her foot getting engulfed in flam as she did. When he saw that he had hurt her it made him a little bit sad...but only a little as she was currently his enemy. He gave her a second, which he probably shouldn't have, to give her a chance to heal up her foot and then saw that instead of looking at Ukiyo, he was looking at six of her. If these were water, wood or earth clones, this would have just taken a lot of her chakra and he knew that once he defeated them it would seriously cripple her. He looked at the sun above and remembered something Takeshi-sensei had told him;
"Regular clones have no shadows, they are only a distraction." After realizing this he quickly took a look down, the large desert sun and the flames covering the battle ground showing the true nature of her attack. Just as he thought, no shadows on most of them.
Mitsuo chuckled softly, one of his teammates having tried to do pretty much exactly the same thing when they had first fought their sensei, and did exactly what his sensei did in response. He quickly strung together five hand signs and then beside him stood two perfect clones of himself, each one possessing a shadow as well. Ukiyo would have no way to know which of him was the real clone either, as each of them possessed some of his chakra and abilities. He watched as Ukiyo had one of the clones jump off of her shoulder, which would have been quite an impressive move and probably would have fooled several of the people in the exams. He wasn't so easily confused however as he and his two clones each drew their Katana into their right hands and their tanto into their left, the blades of the two running perpendicular to their forearms, points pointing to or past their elbows and blades pointing outward.
The Mitsuo on the right ran out in an arc going further to the right and around, coming in to intercept Ukiyo as she ran towards them, the one on the left similarly jumping off of the center one's shoulders and the center Mitsuo charding directly at Ukiyo. If she wanted her hand to hand combat so badly, he would give it to her.
"Here I come Ukiyo!" the Mitsuo who was running towards her right hand side exclaimed.
"I hope you're ready..." The one jumping through the air had yelled.
"Because this is going to get nasty!" The Mitsuo charging at her flashed her a smile while wearing a determined look on his face, his muscles beginning to ache from the training as he pushed himself on. All three of them looked beaten and bruised and bloodied, but none of them were about to give up the fight, pressing the advantage as much as they could.

They, like Shadow Clones, are solid and can only perform jutsu and techniques that use the Fire affinity. The clones can only produce one technique before forcefully disappearing. In addition, the clones will be dispersed if they sustain enough damage, such as being slashed or hit with enough force to knock the original user unconscious.
