Chapter 3: Git Gud
"Who are… you?"
Shizune heard Shisui's weak voice, his eyes open yet not holding any. She observed his face, trying to sympathize with him and his burden.
"Kato Shizune. I am the one that healed you."
Shisui chuckled self-depreciatingly,
"So you are the one that saved me. Thank you very much."
Shizune stood still, taking in his disappointment of still being alive, living as an accursed existence fated to either living as a ninja on the run without eyes or one that would bring real change in the village.
She sat down beside his futon where he lay, her fingers lightly lingering on his visage, softly caressing his hair.
Her voice was tinged with sadness as she spoke softly.
"You mustn't lose hope."
Her eyes drifted toward Lady Tsunade who was snoring beside them. She looked back at Shisui, her palm still tousling his brown hair.
"I have seen too many lost to the abyss… those with the potential to bring change. I can't. I do not possess the talent or the potential but I try my best. Shisui Uchiha, you are unlike me. The power you possess belongs to the pinnacle. If I can try my best why can't you…? How long will you run from your problems…? Even in death… they will catch up to you. Some people love you… are you really willing to let them suffer…?"
Shisui was quiet. In reality, he was Mark and was trying to act how Shisui probably would. Now due to the pep talk by Shizune, the experience of attempting suicide and being cornered to death… Mark could act like his real self.
The character development would seem REAL and an acceptable plause in the eyes of others.
Shisui did not speak. Letting the silence around them weigh on their words and emotions. The air grew tense as if waiting for a call to break the deadlock.
Looking at the Uchiha kid who had his eyes closed, Shizune wondered.
'Is he sleeping…?'
It was hard to decipher for normal people when the blind were asleep. However, due to his circadian rhythm and his breaths, Shizune successfully determined.
'No, he is awake…' A sad expression crept onto her face as she took a deep breath of the somber air that filled the room.
'He is crying but with no tears to show. What a pitiful child.'
Taking a deep breath, just as she was about to leave she heard his voice again.
"Thankyou… Shizune."
A surprised look crept onto her face as she nodded. She left the door half open, a whisper to the ears of the Uchiha- a small welcome.
Shizune smiled to herself.
'Yep. This is why I am a ninja.'

The sound of the door lingered, I could feel Shizune's chakra moving further away from me.
A perk of being a sensor ninja. Truly, Shisui was a completely broken character. It's hard to believe I am him now.
Why he died was a complete plot convenience to give Itachi the mangekyo… this is what fans would think at first.
However, the reason was a little deeper, the poison that was administered to him unknowingly was made in a way to attack the individual not just bodily but mentally as well.
It was supposed to make the person more obedient and push them into a negative headspace causing suicidal feelings as well.
Shisui had obviously fallen prey to it. This proved that even the strongest of ninjas could be harmed. This was the ninja world. Reality. Not like the anime which was wizardry.
Sighing softly, Shisui suddenly sensed the chakra beside him.
'Hm…? She is awake…?'
A palm touched my face and I could feel two extremely soft pillows on my face. It did not stop there as I felt the soft skin lower downward to my chest.
A fragrance of flowers and sweat wafted into my nose from the cushion against my visage. I made sure to breathe steadily and take it all in.
Honestly, I could feel my little dragon rising proudly. Slowly and slowly, a warm current-like feeling began to flow throughout my body like a torrent.
"Dont get too excited Uchiha kid. You might find yourself wishing you were dead."
God.
How can anyone be calm in a situation like this?… where I am feeling up the undoubtedly hottest woman from Naruto Part 1.
However this does not mean I can break character very quickly, it needs to be a slow progression. I gotta keep this sad boy act.
"I already do."
It seems my comment successfully made her angry because I felt a powerful punch in my stomach causing me to cough a bit of stomach acid mixed saliva.
I groaned in genuine pain mixed with my very real reaction.
"Fuckin…. Monster. Treating a patient… so c-cruelly."
It seems Tsunade felt a little guilty… maybe… because she muttered softly as an excuse.
"I'll just heal it again. After all, I am the best medical ninja in the world."
A few minutes passed, her boobs resting on my face and her palms on my chest. The difference between Tsunade and Shizune's healing skills was akin to Heaven and Earth.
I could already feel this body returning to its peak state. Now I can not help but wonder how powerful Hashirama's healing skills were if as in the show, he was supposedly better.
It seems Tsunade understood that I was amazed by her skills because I could hear her smirking.
"Hmph. Uchiha brat, this treatment will cost you a million Ryo"
I opened my mouth for a second and then closed it. Honestly, she was estimating the treatment price fairly according to the standard of medical ninjutsu and the professional prowess I was getting helped with.
This was fair. I could feel that Tsunade was not just healing the damage on my body from the danzo battle but also from my past fights and… there were honestly a lot of internal wounds.
However, the dilemma is that I am pretty sure that I do not have that much money. For most of Shisui's life, the missions he did were assigned by the village during wartime.
So it was rather… unpaid and free work for the village. Only in times of peace were there missions that gave huge amounts of money.
Ironically Konoha had only recently entered the peaceful era so there was not even much time to start accepting missions, especially with the tension and burden of how to improve the relations between the village and the Uchiha clan.
Man…. Did Shisui get exploited…. Shameless elders of Konoha. Fucking bourgeoisie.
"Could you give me some time to gather the funds…?"
I think I could feel Tsunade's lips curving slightly and… I am a hundred percent sure that it was an evil smile.
"Sure but each extra day will cost you half a million ryo more."
