Just as Uchiha En was planning for the future, the woman whose Chakra had been sealed, who was by Uchiha Hane's side, rushed over.
"Lord En, Young Master Shisui is in trouble!"
"Shisui? What happened to him?"
"I don't know the specifics. Lord Hane didn't tell me. Young Master Shisui is with Lord Hane now. Lord Hane requests your presence."
Uchiha En nodded and went with her to Uchiha Hane's house.
As soon as Uchiha En entered Uchiha Hane's house, his Minds Eye sensed a massive amount of Chakra.
This Chakra volume already surpassed Uchiha Hane's and was almost on par with Uchiha Fugaku's.
Uchiha En paused, then immediately teleported into the room.
The first thing that caught his eye in the room was Shisui, covered in wounds with bloodshot eyes, and then Elder Yu, looking excited.
Seeing this, Uchiha En immediately understood: Shisui had awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan.
This was Konoha Year 47; in the original work, Shisui awakened his Mangekyo this year, so the timing matched.
"Shisui, what happened?" Uchiha En knelt down and asked.
Shisui then recounted a clichéd story of an elder sacrificing himself to protect a junior.
As he spoke, Shisui's Three Tomoe spun wildly, finally transforming into a four-bladed pinwheel pattern.
Uchiha En patted Shisui's shoulder, then activated his own Mangekyo: "Shisui, I understand your Pain. I gained these eyes after experiencing the same suffering as you.
But one must always look forward. The elder who sacrificed himself for you wouldn't want to see you like this."
After hearing Uchiha En's words, Shisui looked up at Uchiha En's Mangekyo, and his trust in Uchiha En deepened even further.
As fellow Mangekyo Sharingan users, Shisui clearly understood the immense Pain required to awaken those eyes.
At this point, one couldn't help but recall Pain's classic quote: Only those who have experienced the same Pain can truly understand each other.
"Senior En, I..."
"Don't say anything. I understand it all. You should get some good sleep first! The initial awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan causes significant strain on the body and mind." With that, Uchiha En cast a small genjutsu on Shisui. Shisui didn't resist, allowing Uchiha En's genjutsu to lull him into slumber.
After comforting Shisui, Uchiha En decided to seize this opportunity to discuss the dove faction's authority with Uchiha Hane.
And Uchiha Hane, as if anticipating Uchiha En's thoughts, called out to the door: "Keiko, come in for a moment."
The woman outside heard him, pushed open the door, walked in, and then respectfully knelt before Uchiha Hane.
"Keiko, take off your clothes and let En see what's on your back."
Keiko nodded in assent, quickly removed her upper garment, then turned to expose her back to Uchiha En.
On Keiko's back was a complex Sealing Jutsu. Uchiha En had made some progress in his recent research on Sealing Jutsu and could already tell it was a technique to seal Chakra.
In fact, the first time Uchiha En saw Keiko, his Minds Eye had already sensed this technique, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked, "Elder Yu, this is..."
"This is a technique to seal Chakra, and Keiko is my beloved. She is from Kumogakure and is skilled in Sensory Ninjutsu (Perception Ninjutsu). We met on the battlefield and fell in love for various reasons.
But we are from different Villages, and each of us has our own beliefs.
Keiko once suggested that we both abandon our Villages and families and elope, but I didn't agree.
Ultimately, I found an opportunity to control Keiko with genjutsu, then sealed her Chakra with a Sealing Jutsu, keeping her by my side through this method.
I could not abandon my family and Village. For my family and Village, I chose to sacrifice Keiko.
En, I know what you want. I can have the dove faction fully support you, but can you, like me, sacrifice everything for your family and Village?"
