[He's right, of course, and Yu's certain that all of them had to learn something similar. Lives hung in the balance for all of them; how many of his friends might have died if they had screwed up? What would have happened if they never discovered just how much danger the world was in?
One misstep. If anything hadn't happened just the way it did...
Tension spikes and focus sharpens at the same time; Yu isn't exactly a more passive fighter, but he likes to observe. To get a feel for an opponent's moves whenever he can, their weaknesses.
His sword comes up again to parry the slash with a strike that he's hoping will knock Minato back -- at least enough that it puts some distance between them. He can't beat the other wild card with speed, and strength only does so much. Minato seems to fight with commitment and urgency. It's not as though Yu feels unhurried, but you can't win every fight in one round.]
