At this moment.

Turbulent floodwaters covered the ground beneath Shisui's feet, rising to his thighs.

Beneath the water dragon, a whirlpool materialized out of nowhere, its immense suction forcing Shisui to concentrate chakra on the soles of his feet just to barely keep his footing.

And that rampaging water dragon, under the observation of Shisui's Double Tomoe Sharingan, revealed devilish details.

What made up this water dragon were countless tiny, razor-sharp water blades!

If this struck a human body, it would likely mince it into fine filling in an instant...

Even stranger, Seisui stood unharmed atop the water dragon.

Tobirama Senju's face had already stiffened. Others might not know what this technique was, but he understood it all too well.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Burst..."

One of his most lethal water release techniques!

"This damn brat, where the hell did he steal my technique from!"

But after a moment, Tobirama Senju's mind gradually calmed, and he began to seriously analyze Seisui's shortcomings from the technique itself.

From the initial shock of being sealed to the current astonishment, Tobirama Senju adjusted his mindset, having already developed expectations and acceptance for Seisui's strange "self-resembling" talent.

"Such profound water-attributed chakra shape transformation and nature transformation..."

Shisui swallowed hard, observing Seisui's chakra flow. "And this level of chakra output..."

Even though Shisui had activated his Double Tomoe Sharingan, he was still limited by his six-year-old body—he was still a child.

Seisui, fully driving the chakra of his incomplete Sage Body, combined with the might of Tobirama Senju's water release, gave this technique a hint of "Kage" level presence.

Shisui strained to lift his head, looking up at Seisui, who stood with arms crossed atop the water dragon's head.

By his ear, the scolding voices of the Uchiha Clan's elders from history class inexplicably rang out.

"Hmph, today's history lesson is about Tobirama Senju..."

"This man is despicable, treacherous, stops at nothing to win, and has an extremely low moral standard!"

"But..."

"He is indeed an extremely troublesome opponent. Just with water release and Genjutsus, he could suppress all Three Tomoe Uchiha... After he developed the Flying Thunder God Technique, even Lord Izuna was no match for him..."

"Sigh, Tobirama Senju!"

Seisui's figure blurred in Shisui's eyes, almost overlapping with the Second Hokage on the Hokage Rock.

Was this an Genjutsu?

Shisui was almost dumbfounded, staring blankly at Seisui.

Seisui slowly dispelled the technique, smiling as he ruffled Shisui's head, soaked by the flood. "Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Burst, the Second Hokage's signature technique. It's a decent move."

"Even for me, it takes a bit of effort to use..."

Hearing Seisui's strange modesty, Shisui wanted to retort but could only enjoy the head pat while his small face flushed red.

[From the confrontation target, Shisui Uchiha, you have obtained Genjutsu Talent (Shisui Version)!]

Hearing this electronic sound, Seisui was slightly taken aback.

Just Genjutsu talent?

But then, recalling that the system's rewards were closely tied to the confrontation target's strength, Seisui let it go.

A six-year-old Shisui, no matter how gifted, had his limits in raw ability.

Seisui didn't dwell on the reward. His gaze softened, and he gently took Shisui's small hand, his tone carrying an apology.

"I'm sorry, Shisui. I've been paying you too little attention lately..."

"From now on, this won't happen again."

Shisui felt the familiar warmth in his palm, a warmth spreading through his heart, but he still asked in confusion, "Why would you say that, brother..."

Seisui's care for him was never lacking. Shisui had always felt he was the happiest younger brother in the Uchiha Clan.

"You awakened your Sharingan, Shisui."

Seisui let out a long, faint sigh, staring at the tomoe that had yet to fade from Shisui's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Awakening requires a strong emotional stimulus..."

"You're just a six-year-old kid. With your temperament, I haven't met with misfortune, and you've never experienced war..."

"So, where did your emotional stimulus come from?"

Seisui squeezed Shisui's small hand firmly, speaking with emotion.

"It can only be from the conflict between the village and the clan. At six, you certainly have outstanding talent, but this mountain-like responsibility is not something you should bear."

"And as your older brother, I failed to notice it in time, letting my dear little brother be tormented by this pressure into awakening."

Seisui's brow furrowed, and a bitter curve tugged at his lips. "Shisui, tell me—am I a lousy brother?"

Shisui quickly shook his head, but Seisui didn't give him a chance to argue, continuing on his own. "But that won't happen anymore, Shisui."

"Since you're this worried about the clan and the village, as your brother, I'll naturally take that burden for you."

"I won't make the same mistake again. Forgive me this once, Shisui."

Seisui tapped Shisui's forehead, gazing seriously into his eyes.

Shisui's eyes had already brimmed with tears, and the moment Seisui uttered the word "forgive," they spilled over uncontrollably.

[From confrontation target Shisui Uchiha, you have received a reward: Double Tomoe Sharingan!]

[From confrontation target Shisui Uchiha, you have received a special talent: Uchiha's Love (Shisui)]

[Uchiha's Love (Shisui): The heart of confrontation target Shisui has been captured by your actions. This target's obsession and loyalty toward you cannot be rewritten by any technique.]

Shisui's emotions seemed to take a critical hit as the reward notifications chimed one after another.

Judging by the rewards, Seisui's self-reproachful words had nearly drained Shisui dry.

The Double Tomoe Sharingan—this was already the most impressive thing a six-year-old Shisui could offer.

And the special talent Uchiha's Love spoke volumes about the overwhelming excitement in Shisui's heart at that moment.

Seisui gently wiped away Shisui's tears and said softly, "What are you crying for? No crying."

"Come on, let's go buy groceries. I promised I'd make you Secret Recipe Grilled Fish tonight."

Hearing this, Shisui's tears surged again, but at Seisui's command not to cry, he forced them back with all his might, looking utterly ridiculous.

The genius of the Uchiha Clan, before his brother's tenderness, was forever a child who never grew up.

But Shisui probably never imagined that, at that very moment, Seisui was sighing with regret in his heart:

"My little brother... it seems I still need to help you improve your strength..."

"With such a touching speech, your feeble efforts could only give me a Double Tomoe reward..."

"Take my back as your goal, and train relentlessly in the path of the Sharingan and Genjutsus for me!"

Thinking this, Seisui turned to look at the disheveled Shisui, smiled faintly, and added in his heart: "As a reward, I promise you a happy life..."
