If they're not tough to fight, then there's no real fun in it... (not entirely true, he's been known to frequently make exceptions — and sasuke's seen all of that before.) You understand that much.

(weird, that they're the strongest. he's used to being outgunned... and it feels good to be on top.

or at least third from the top, after sasuke and obito.)

Hey, you're probably the strongest person here!
