Uchiha Yin seemed to have expected Yotsuki A to emerge. He looked at the wound Susanoo had pierced in A's chest, his face full of mockery.
"You were wounded by a Susanoo cast by a mere clone. Compared to your father, you really are a disappointment."
As Uchiha Yin spoke, he made no move at all. He stood there holding the child, his whole body relaxed.
Every part of his bearing showed his contempt for Yotsuki A, and that expression finally pushed A over the edge.
Yet A had to admit that Uchiha Yin was terrifyingly powerful. Now he understood why his father had died in battle.
A glanced back at the ninjas who had begun to shrink away and, in that moment, resolved to fight to the death.
He was the Raikage of Kumogakure. Even if he died, he would protect his village.
He threw back his head and laughed. "I may fall far short of my father, but I'm still the Raikage of Kumogakure! I won't let you do whatever you please!"
Uchiha Yin laughed as though he had heard a joke. "For a man about to die, you sure know how to talk big!"
A's head seemed to roar as fury swallowed every other thought. "Don't get too arrogant, Uchiha Yin!" he bellowed.
Then he charged, looking ready to tear Uchiha Yin apart.
But Uchiha Yin stood there holding Hinata, utterly unhurried. "If you want to fight me, you'll have to beat that Shadow Clone first!"
The words hit A like a bucket of cold water. For a moment, the Kumogakure ninjas around him felt their spirits crumble too.
Raikage Yotsuki A was the strongest fighter Kumogakure had. Yet even he could make no headway against a clone. At this rate, what would become of their village?
