"Tsk, Shisui, make sure you take that lesson to heart."
Uchiha Ganghuo clicked his tongue softly as he looked at Shisui Uchiha sprawled limply on the ground.
"Uncle, do you think you might have misunderstood something about me? And Lord Gen... could he have... misjudged me?"
Lying on the ground, Shisui Uchiha rolled over and looked up at the sky as he spoke helplessly. He did not know whether he was imagining it, but he always felt that Uchiha Gen had great expectations of him.
It was precisely those expectations that made his Uchiha clansmen keep training him, and he, too, was working hard to live up to them.
But... what if he could not live up to those expectations?
After all, judging by the lessons these uncles gave him, he seemed pretty lousy.
"Once you can move, crawl back on your own and soak in a medicinal bath. Shisui Uchiha, no one in the entire Uchiha Clan wants to disappoint Gen, and no one can afford to. Do you understand?"
"Gen couldn't possibly misjudge someone, and he never would. Since he thinks you can join the Hokage Guard Platoon, he naturally has his reasons. So you don't need to overthink it. What you need to do now is work hard to grow, until..."
"Until you can truly stand beside Gen and help him. This is my—no, this is the request of every one of us Uchiha. After all... there's already very little we can do to help Gen. The glory he's brought to the Uchiha Clan is far too dazzling, and we want to give something back to him, too."
After saying this to Shisui Uchiha, Uchiha Ganghuo immediately left with the Body Flicker Technique.
Only Shisui Uchiha remained, lying on the ground and looking up at the sky.
