"Lariat!"
Facing his own father's attack, A answered with an even more piercing crackle of electricity.
Their Lightning Release Chakra Modes shared the same origins, but in appearance, the Fourth's was clearly more intense than the Third's.

Their knife-hands collided with a tremendous crash, and then a figure went flying.
"Hmm?"
A looked at his knife-hand in confusion, then at his father's flying figure.
What was going on?

It looked like all those years of training hadn't been wasted.
Was I already this strong?
"Idiot! Are you an idiot?!"
The Third Raikage rose from the pile of rocks. Looking at his smiling son, he covered his face, speechless.

A shouted at his father, who had just insulted him.

But Madara Uchiha's strength had still been terrifying earlier, with that huuuge Susanoo, so he had assumed Impure World Reincarnation restored all their strength.
"Huh? Then what about Madara Uchiha? Is he at fifty percent too?!"
