Shisui Uchiha stood at the door, "watching" his friend walk away.
"When will you come back to see me?"
In his current state, he could not even look at his friend.
When would Jin finally forgive him completely and give him back his eyes?

That way, when Jin visited in the future, he could serve him hot tea.

Weren't the two of them the closest of friends?
It seemed his teacher's condition was
