Answer

Ruling: Yes, you can play Retreat as a Reaction to Yasuo's ability on the Chain to avoid the damage.

Sequence:

  • Yasuo enters the battlefield and his ability triggers
  • The ability goes on the Chain
  • You can play Retreat as a Reaction
  • Your unit leaves the battlefield
  • Yasuo's ability misses because the targeted unit is no longer there

Nuances:

  • Even if Yasuo's ability targets your unit, "here" refers to the battlefield Yasuo is at, so if your unit isn't there anymore when the ability resolves, it misses
