"Looks like there's no explaining this," Fugaku Uchiha said with a bitter smile as he listened to the rumors outside, his voice full of helplessness.
"Indeed. When we were with Little Chuan, we were merely shocked that he could use Genjutsu on a group the way the Shadow Clone Technique turned one person into many. We were so shocked that we never realized the Genjutsu he used was also at the Mangekyō level." The First Elder grew increasingly horrified, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Are you sure Little Chuan hadn't activated his Mangekyō Sharingan at the time?" the Second Elder asked Fugaku Uchiha and the First Elder, still unable to believe it.
"Yeah. I'd rather believe Little Chuan had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan to use that Genjutsu than believe he could use Mangekyō-level Genjutsu without even opening his eyes. That goes completely against common sense." The Third Elder's mind was shaken as well, his voice full of shock.
"The truth is, we saw it clearly at the time. Little Chuan truly hadn't opened his eyes." Fugaku Uchiha smiled bitterly, sounding utterly helpless. "We were shocked out of our minds too, so we overlooked the fact that the Genjutsu Little Chuan used was also Mangekyō-level, one that directly attacked the mind."
"A super genius? Heh, we really underestimated Little Chuan." The Second Elder was deeply shaken, his voice full of awe. "Perhaps he really could surpass Madara Uchiha."
"If that's the case, then we should protect Little Chuan even better." The Third Elder spoke seriously, his voice firm. "Although Little Chuan is already very strong, he is still a child under six years old. We've already made him bear too much. We absolutely cannot make him bear even more. If possible, it would be best to let him grow up happily
