In order to make the words he was about to speak in this small meeting more persuasive, Uchiha Chi took the lead and solemnly announced to everyone present: "Because of my overuse of it during the Third Shinobi World War, the aftereffects of my Mangekyou Sharingan have quietly emerged and are beginning to gradually have an adverse effect on my eyesight.
For this reason, I must immediately enter seclusion to resolve this tricky problem with all my strength. Even if I try to minimize using it in the future, I am currently unsuited for combat, and therefore I truly cannot spare the time to participate in the Hokage election."
To make everyone firmly believe this and wholeheartedly accept the reality, Uchiha Chi even intentionally exaggerated the predicament he faced and the severity of the problem.
