"What was that feeling just now?"

Uchiha Itachi frowned, whispering softly.

I can tell that I didn't possess the foundation to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan just a moment ago. Yet, Brother Gray transmitted a gentle power to me.

Uchiha Itachi found it inconceivable.

He had read about it in books.

For the Uchiha clan, awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan was incredibly difficult.

It was a legendary pair of eyes.

Before this, only their ancestor, Uchiha Madara, had ever awakened them.

He himself should have been unable to awaken these eyes.

Yet, with the help of Uchiha Gray, he had successfully transformed and awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Is he really that powerful?

Brother Gray actually possessed such terrifying strength.

He was capable of helping members of the Uchiha clan unlock the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but gasp.

He had thought he had already overestimated Brother Gray enough.

But he hadn't expected that Brother Gray wasn't on the third floor; he was on the tenth!

Doesn't that mean that as long as Brother Gray is willing, he could create countless Mangekyou Sharingan within the Uchiha clan?

Uchiha Itachi was shocked beyond measure.

But even so, it could not undo the fact that Brother Shisui was already dead.

"Itachi, stay here. I'm going down to bring that idiot back up."

Uchiha Gray's voice was cold.

Have the two years I spent brainwashing you been for nothing?

You're actually going to commit suicide now, damn it?

Uchiha Gray could understand Uchiha Shisui's obsession with peace in the Leaf.

However, he could not empathize with Uchiha Shisui's desire to die after confirming that Danzo Shimura was truly devoid of light.

It was just like those people in his past life who believed in certain religions, only to discover in the end that those religions were meaningless, and then took their own lives.

Uchiha Gray could not understand their thought processes in the slightest.

In this life, a person can only rely on themselves.

Praying to gods and Buddhas is completely meaningless!

"Idiot!"

Uchiha Gray's figure moved like a gale, quickly locating Uchiha Shisui's body in the waterfall.

He hauled him out of the water in one motion!

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui's breathing was as thin as a thread.

It was as if he would die at any second.

His face had turned a shade of purple.

This was a sign of poisoning.

"What? Can't go on living, so you want to dump your burdens onto someone else?"

Uchiha Gray said with a sneer.

"The type of person I despise the most is someone like you, talking about world peace, talking about the Leaf."

"When it comes down to it, you're just a coward."

Uchiha Shisui was indeed powerful, but he lacked the mental fortitude to match it.

To put it bluntly, he needed a reality check.

In contrast, Uchiha Obito, even if he betrayed his master and ancestors, possessed a firm willpower that was worthy of praise.

In the original story, Uchiha Obito not only endured the pain of losing half his body, but in the end, he became strong enough to resist the encroachment of the Ten-Tails' will.

He successfully changed his life form and became a powerhouse at the Six Paths level.

"You're right, Gray." Uchiha Shisui smiled bitterly. He could no longer see Uchiha Gray; his world was now pitch black.

In his eye sockets were two empty, dark holes.

He could no longer see any meaning in continuing to live.

"I am nothing but a cripple now. Protecting the Uchiha clan—I leave that mission to you. I believe in you."

Uchiha Shisui's voice was sincere.

He truly believed in Uchiha Gray.

Ever since Uchiha Gray had spoken those words that brought him to an instant realization, and subsequently displayed such formidable talent.

At the age of eight, he already possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

And Uchiha Gray would undoubtedly become even stronger in the future.

"Sacrificing oneself for the village is indeed noble, but sometimes, living in pain is even greater than a foolish suicide."

Uchiha Gray's voice was cold.

His words were filled with threats, "If you think that dying will bring you release, then you are mistaken."

"The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, invented a jutsu called the Reanimation Jutsu."

"It can summon deceased ninja back from the Underworld, but the spirits brought back are at the mercy of the summoner, existing only as puppets."

"If you commit suicide now, I will summon you back from the Underworld. Even in death, you will fulfill the mission you were meant to complete."

Standing to the side, Uchiha Itachi's eyes had lit up with surprise upon seeing Shisui return.

But upon hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, his expression gradually turned dejected.

For a ninja, suicide was considered a sacred act.

Yet, for some reason, Uchiha Gray's words struck his mind like a bronze bell, ringing out with a heavy, resounding force!

"Death is never a noble thing; living on while bearing the weight of hatred—that is!"

Uchiha Itachi's entire body trembled slightly.

Merely hearing this sentence made him feel the immense power contained within it.

To be so desperate for death, yet forced to live on for the sake of a mission, suffering in one's heart every single moment, all for the sake of that final goal.

What kind of resilient ninja could endure such torment!?

Immediately after, he heard Uchiha Gray's threatening words.

Uchiha Itachi's expression was one of astonishment.

Although it was a threat, for some reason, this side of Uchiha Gray made him feel a sense of peace.

How could one not want to follow a person like this?

"Gray, you..."

Uchiha Shisui was equally stunned, shocked beyond measure.

Uchiha Gray actually possessed such a powerful will.

If he were to die, Gray would drag him back from the Underworld.

Even if it meant toying with his soul, he would make him understand that avoidance was never the way to solve a problem!

He trembled all over, suddenly realizing where he had gone wrong.

Yes, he could indeed commit suicide and push the mission onto others, but living on through the pain was what a strong ninja ought to do!

Right now, he felt like a cowardly weakling!

This Uchiha Gray was so full of leadership that he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

"I... I want to live!"

Uchiha Shisui spoke up suddenly, the hesitation and despair in his expression vanishing, replaced by determination!

"Gray, take me to treat my wounds now. I will recover and thoroughly resolve the issues between the village and the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Gray finally smiled with satisfaction.

This was what it meant to be his subordinate.

But detoxifying?

I Have a Small Grilled Sausage!

In an instant, amidst the solemn and heavy atmosphere surrounding Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, he shouted those words with a righteous expression.

Uchiha Gray remained calm, upholding the philosophy that as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be, and he pressed the small grilled sausage in his hand to Uchiha Shisui's lips.

"Eat! This will cure the poison in your body."

After Uchiha Shisui blankly swallowed it, the toxins in his body vanished rapidly.

This was the ability of one of my small grilled sausages.

Originating from the Immortal Continent, it possessed the effect of neutralizing poisons.

"Brother Gray, please return this Sharingan to Brother Shisui!"

"As for the Sharingan that Danzo stole from Brother Shisui, I will retrieve it for him with my own hands."

Uchiha Itachi's voice was icy.

However, at this moment, a smile suddenly curled at the corners of Uchiha Gray's mouth.

"No, there's no need."

In an instant, Uchiha Gray's gaze shifted.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan appeared within his eyes!
