"It might not be a bad thing. Haven't you noticed? Ever since Uchiha Yan made a name for himself, the Uchiha clan has been changing. They're nothing like they used to be. They're much stronger now."
"I've noticed that too. They're still proud, but they don't wear it on their faces anymore. They used to be irritating just to look at. Now they're more restrained and much easier to get along with."
"I actually like being around the Uchiha clan these days. They make me feel safe."
"Your Uchiha teammate's a woman, right? Brother, you're too lucky. Everyone knows the Uchiha clan produces beauties. I'm jealous!"
"Uh... no. He's a man. A real looker, too."
"Damn! What's going on with you? Don't tell me you're into men?"
"Get lost! A male teammate can't make me feel safe?"
"Sure, sure! Whatever you say!"
While Uchiha Yan and the others kept the First Hokage occupied,
the Third Hokage had his own problems.
He had to contend with Danzo's terrifying Wind Release Ninjutsu while guarding against the Second Hokage, who appeared out of nowhere. Before long, he was overwhelmed and scrambling to keep up.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"
Danzo raised a Shuriken to his mouth and blew sharply across it.
Sharp Wind Release Chakra instantly wrapped around the Shuriken, turning it into a fearsome cutting blade.
Danzo hurled it straight at the Third Hokage.
Then he repeated the move, throwing Vacuum Blades one after another and pinning the Third Hokage down.
Whoosh!
Just then, the Second Hokage seized an opening and flung several Flying Raijin Kunai behind the Third Hokage.
An instant later, he appeared there himself.
His Kunai shot toward the Third Hokage's neck.
It grazed the old man's scalp and buried itself in his shoulder.
Blood ran down his arm.
