"We were fucking around in the mud with nothing but bodies to show for it. And now you tell me that they call us heroes. But do you tell me of trade between Konoha and Ame, of alliance and backup and support, another border shored up against Iwa? No! We blasted that place to hell for nothing," She takes a long, slow sip of what he hopes is water, scowling at the wall across from her. "Hero of Yanai. Fucking hell. You'll be calling me a princess next."

He wisely does not mention that there are already those talking about how 'Uzumaki-hime' has returned, you know, the one that fought with the Sannin?

The Sannin, as Uzumaki has already sourly informed him, were on the other end of the front far away from the worst of the action for most of the operation. The Sandaime Hokage hadn't wanted to risk his precious students unless he absolutely had to. They hadn't been The Legendary Sannin, then, and they certainly weren't supposed to be anywhere near Hanzo. How the Salamander had gotten so close to their base of operations without detection was a catastrophic failure on the part of the intelligence department.

... The Uzushio squads he'd slaughtered to get there weren't even a footnote in history, which perhaps explained the venom in the Huntress's voice. Shisui hadn't known how involved Uzu had been until this unfortunate war-nin had been spat out of the air in front of him.

Raiko Uzumaki hadn't been thrilled about that either, and his long-dead whatever-aunt Fuyumi was probably very lucky that whatever she'd done had killed her. Shisui had never heard of a Mangekyou that could send people to the future, but perhaps that was why.

Though why Fuyumi Uchiha had felt the need to launch Uzumaki decades forward in the first place was still a mystery.

Uzumaki, for her part, had been doing her best cryptid impression ever since, hiding in the Senju compound that she was able to unseal because, whatever, something something the Shodaime's wife, and only prowling out when Shisui went to the boundary and made a nuisance of himself, because she vaguely valued his opinion or something for some reason.

It was driving the Council mad.

It was exhausting.

And so here they are, both waiting for the Hokage to call them in like naughty children because Uzumaki had discovered and secreted away the other Uzumaki in the village while Shisui was in fucking Kiri.

How is this his fault? He wasn't even here. How is the Anbu being unable to keep track of one jinchuuriki long enough to keep him from tracking down and revealing himself to the long-lost relative the entire village won't shut up about anywhere within Shisui's purview?

If she wants to be a hermit, let her. Just dump some groceries at the boundary every week or so, it would be fine. Shisui has other, more important things to stress about than the Huntress, who doesn't seem inclined to do anything drastic as long as everyone leaves her alone.

At least find someone else to babysit her, if everyone's that worried. Someone else to ask her apparently stupid questions and get their heads bitten off. Shisui is tired. Let him sleep.
