Hyuga Hiashi hesitated briefly before asking, "Lord Yin, may I come with you?"
Uchiha Yin understood Hiashi's anxiety, but he shook his head. "I promise I'll bring Hinata back to you. Wait here."
He did not want to bring Hiashi along because he feared the man would lose control of his anger and go on a killing spree in Kumogakure. That was the last thing Yin wanted.
So he had to make Hiashi stay in Konoha. Fortunately, Hiashi had always taken Yin's orders seriously and obeyed them.
Though reluctant, Hiashi answered earnestly, "Yes, Lord Yin. And thank you."
Yin nodded. "It's getting late—almost dawn. I'll go now."

Whatever else happened, his priority was rescuing Hinata. First, he had to find her.
If anything happened to her, he would not be able to face Hiashi.
With that thought, Yin pushed off and sped in that direction.
