"Has the Shinobi World War already reached this stage?"
After sorting through the memories his shadow clone had brought back, Zou Hyuga's brow gradually relaxed, and a smile slowly rose to his lips.
Since he could dance with Madara Uchiha in taijutsu, he could count himself as the Hyuga Copy Ninja.
