As a result of the accident, he had carelessly slammed headfirst into a tree and shattered it.
Mingren, completely uninjured, turned his gaze toward the round-nosed Uchiha boy ninja.
"Uchiha... Shisui."
He studied the boy's features.
He really was Body Flicker Shisui from the Original Work.
Only, he was somewhat younger.
Besides... wasn't there something wrong with those eyes?
In the official novel Itachi's Story, after the Third Shinobi War ended, Uchiha Shisui had still been a genin when he carried out postwar missions. He awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan after abandoning his friend.

He remembered the figure that had been sent flying by the aftershock a few seconds ago.
But Yuji mistook that glance...
