Yamato knew he didn't have much time; Kakashi was already hot on his heels and would be within his strike range all too soon.

Flitting from roof to roof, he used every short cut he knew to extend the space between them and even then, barely keeping ahead.

Kakashi was known for his speed and in a foot race, Yamato was outmatched, but he was counting on the other man's head space to play in his favour; anger made Kakashi sharp, but it also made him easy to lead.. Until the Sharingan came into play that is.

He silently prayed that Kakashi would hold off until they touched down for that at least.
