• Uchiha Chonhua tracks the retreating Fourth Raikage A with his Mangekyo Sharingan after dispersing his Susanoo.

• A’s kick and subsequent Lariat Bomb fail to seriously injure Chonhua. The attack only cracks the Susanoo’s skeletal defense, which immediately repairs itself.

• Innovation versus tradition: Chonhua’s personally developed Lightning Armor resembles Kumogakure’s technique but is adapted for a different purpose, showing his creativity and combat specialization.
• Pride and resistance: A refuses to accept captivity and plans suicide rather than betray his village, while Chonhua deliberately prevents him from making that choice.
