"Lord Yin is incredible!"
"He took the enemy commanders' heads in the middle of an army! How strong is that?!"
The Konoha Ninja grew excited.
They imagined Uchiha Yin facing more than ten thousand Sand Ninja alone just moments ago, showing no fear as he fought a grueling battle and finally took the heads of Rasa and Ebizo!
The thought fired up the Konoha Ninja. They wished they had been there to join the fight.
No wonder Lord Uchiha Yin had been gone so long.
The Konoha Ninja nodded in understanding and gazed at Uchiha Yin with admiration.
But they had no idea Uchiha Yin hadn't fought a grueling battle at all.
The only reason Uchiha Yin had taken a little longer was that he had been getting used to Wind Release, which he had barely ever used.
"Do you think Lord Yin has reached the level of the First?!"

Right. He had killed the Sand Ninja leaders before an army of more than ten thousand—even Ebizo, who commanded the entire force, and Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

The Konoha Ninja were stunned by their own speculation.

And now Uchiha Yin had reached his level.
It was almost too thrilling to believe.
Uchiha Yin listened to their admiring words and felt a touch of satisfaction.
Well, everyone likes being praised. Who doesn't have a little vanity?
"Yin, did you really...?" Hatake Sakumo heard the speculation around him and stared at Uchiha Yin, eyes wide.
"Yes, it's true," Uchiha Yin
