Boom!
A thunderclap exploded in Uchiha Yan's mind. How could he have imagined that Orochimaru was still hiding a clone of Hyūga Shinkō?
"He really kept that well hidden! Didn't Obito know?"

Uchiha Yan was speechless. Were these two even human? Both the Human Emperor Banner and the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art had nothing but principles behind them, without a single damn step to follow. How had those two lunatics managed it?
"Huh! You don't
