"What are you talking about?"
Uchiha Jin stared blankly at Shisui Uchiha.
What do you mean, you awakened your Mangekyō Sharingan after I left?
Watch how you phrase that!
So you awakened your Mangekyō Sharingan. What did that have to do with me?
Surely you weren't saying you awakened it because I broke off our friendship.
Since when were members of the Uchiha Clan that fragile?
Wait...
Looking at Shisui's serious expression, Uchiha Jin suddenly fell silent.
Perhaps it wasn't impossible.
Shisui Uchiha's next words confirmed his suspicions.
"When I learned you wanted to cut ties with me, it hurt terribly. You're my only close friend in Konoha."
The sorrow in Shisui Uchiha's eyes was almost overflowing. His gaze hadn't left Jin from the very beginning.
"If you stopped being my friend, I wouldn't have any friends left..."
At the time, that despair had engulfed him completely.
If only I could change all of this.
The extreme sorrow and pain of losing his close friend had, by chance, awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.
And his ocular technique, Kotoamatsukami, was a Genjutsu capable of altering another person's will!
"After awakening my Mangekyō Sharingan, I realized Kotoamatsukami was a gift from heaven specifically meant to mend our relationship."
Shisui Uchiha wore a smile.
"So I used Kotoamatsukami on you that very night."
Uchiha Jin: "..."
He had always assumed Shisui had awakened his Mangekyō after witnessing a comrade's death on the battlefield.
But that wasn't what had happened at all.
This guy had awakened his eyes simply because Jin had ended their friendship over their differing beliefs.
Seriously, man.
How could you be this fragile?!
Unbelievable.
"And?"
Despite his furious internal commentary, Uchiha Jin's expression remained cold.
How Shisui Uchiha had awakened his Mangekyō didn't matter. He wanted to know what Shisui had
