Yin was such a strange person-self-centered, downright rude, and childish.
Shisui Uchiha pondered the connections and details as he walked back.
Although Black Zetsu had given him a minor punishment, he had gained quite a lot from this conversation.
First, I met Yin and learned that he could become a candidate for the Rinnegan by making a wish. Second, I learned that Black Zetsu was planning to have me kill someone...
But all of that was just Yin's side of the story. How much of it could I trust?
So I couldn't believe everything. I had to take every word with a grain of salt.
Still, after half a year in the Jashin Cult, I'd finally gained something. At least I wasn't stuck in place anymore.
Shisui Uchiha stopped outside the room, adjusted his mood and expression, and pushed open the door with an air of ease.
Longjian Senju sat cross-legged in a corner of the room, his eyes lowered as he fiddled with a rustling candy wrapper. He seemed to be thinking about something, yet also seemed to be thinking about nothing at all.
He slowly raised his eyes. His pale purple Rinnegan fixed on Shisui Uchiha, and only after a moment did a rather strained smile appear on his lips.
"Shisui."
Shisui Uchiha returned a gentle smile, but his heart grew heavier.
Over this half year of life in the Jashin Cult, he had watched Longjian turn into this, little by little.
And he couldn't stay with Longjian twenty-four hours a day. What he could see was the ordeal of a silent prison, but out of his sight, who knew what else Black Zetsu had done to Longjian?
Drugs? Brainwashing? Mind control?
*...Never mind whether Longjian could endure it. Just watching him waste away bit by bit was
