Uchiha Jin truly could not understand how Shisui Uchiha's mind worked.
If you're blind, just stay home and bask in the sun!
Why come out when you've got nothing to do?
And that was not even the worst of it. He had to act as a human crutch, suffering as he helped Shisui along.
Just thinking about it was a tremendous hassle.
But who had told him to go soft, pity Shisui, and agree?
He would just treat it as some relaxation.
The Uchiha Clan Compound.
"Isn't that Lord Jin and Shisui?"
The Uchiha clan members passing by looked stunned when they saw the two walking side by side.
As the owners of the clan's only two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, they were the center of attention wherever they went.
The two had been away from the clan for half a year, and the clan members had gone wild discussing it, trying to guess why.
Everyone believed Jin had hurt Shisui, leaving him so disheartened that he had left the village to escape.
Then, after realizing his mistake, Jin had left the village too, hoping to find Shisui and apologize.
Now they were finally seeing the two together.
"Wait... what's wrong with Shisui's eyes?!"
Everyone stared incredulously at the bandages around Shisui's eyes.
"His eyes seem to be injured!"
"Are you kidding? Shisui has the Mangekyō Sharingan! Who could possibly hurt him?!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Maybe it was Lord Jin."
Only another pair of Mangekyō could hurt a Mangekyō user!
Perhaps Shisui Uchiha had refused to return, so Uchiha Jin had crippled him and brought him back.
That was how the Uchiha got along!
Exactly!
The Uchiha clan members present exchanged glances, all finding that explanation fairly reasonable.
None of them thought there was anything wrong with that.
