The Raikage's expression darkened.
His already dark old face turned black as coal.
He roared irritably at the two of them.
"You two youngsters, give me your names!"
Obito patted his chest and declared smugly.
"I am the Fourth Hokage's disciple, the future heir to the Hokage's seat—Obito Uchiha."
Then he pointed to Kakashi beside him and said.

So he intended, before both armies.
To declare it an indisputable fact and give Kumogakure a legitimate cause for war.
