"Heh, who knew Konoha would send kids this young onto the battlefield? Have they run out of people?"
"I heard Root was destroyed and Konoha's desperately short-handed. I still didn't think they'd send brats like these."
"And that kid had the nerve to say he'd protect those girls for the rest of his life. What a joke..."
Bam!
Before the Sand Ninja could finish, dragonlike armor appeared around Kushina. She clenched a Dragon Claw gleaming with blue Chakra into a fist and drove it into the ninja who had mocked them.
The Sand Ninja had no time to react. Kushina's furious punch smashed his body to pulp.
"What's so funny, you losers?" The mockery had made Kushina unusually angry, and her anger overwhelmed her fear and unease.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Roar!
With a thunderous roar, a massive dragon's head of scorching flame burst out behind Mikoto. Half its body coiled in the air, radiating menace.
The fire dragon roared again and charged straight into the Sand Ninja.
They had no chance to dodge. The fire dragon plowed right through them.
"I hate it when people make fun of Yin," Mikoto said, irritation plain on her face.
Watching the two of them in action, Uchiha Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Kushina and Mikoto fought normally, each was at least as strong as a Jonin.
"Let's finish off these Sand Ninja." With that, Uchiha Yin charged at them too.
After watching Kushina and Mikoto kill enemies in a single strike, Uchiha Yin was itching for a fight.
This was the perfect chance to show what he could do. He couldn't let Kushina and Mikoto steal all the glory, could he?
"How is this happening?"
"How could Qifei and the others have been killed?"
"Damn it!
