#shisui/anko

[x-authorship-x]

your shisui pairings have me so excited for the real ship and shisui is so crush-able (crush as in like-love 🙈) can you tell us what/how everyone woild think of him like that? Validation for shisui please haha

Shisui is extremely...crushable... 😅

Also you've really done it now, Anon, because I can talk for hours about Shisui as a character but LOVING Shisui? It is my fandom-given CALLING

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned something like this in an A/N somewhere before, maybe in my College AU Squad2polyromcom (and murder mystery), but I'll do it again anyway

So *cracks fingers* it's time to make you love every Shisui Ship combo

Let's start of with the Squad:

Kakashi: oh god he's feeling an emotion. He didn't sign up for this, the Icha Icha isn't even helping distract him because Shisui just thinks it's funny and he's laughing with those dimples and rolling his pretty eyes and ignoring the filthy looks everyone is shooting them. And it's terrifyingly easy to image an honest-to-kami life like this, not just the vague blurry impression of remaining alive between missions, because Shisui is easy. He understands and he pushes but knows when to stop, he quirks sardonic smiles at Kakashi's fucked up humour and he never resents Kakashi for the things he can't give up, like his mask and his borrowed habits and his guilt. He survives Kakashi being, well, Kakashi- and he doesn't just survive it, he seeks him out, he seems to enjoy Kakashi, and- Shisui is strong and fast, all won through skill, but with an ace up his sleeve from the unfathomable power behind those eyes. Kakashi... has been saved by Shisui more times than he's had to do the converse and it's... Comforting. That Shisui isn't looking to Kakashi, Kakashi who is so broken and has mishandled so many things, to fix it, to guide. He follows Kakashi like an equal, waiting but never demanding, and Kakashi... breathes. That's what makes it so terrifying; that being with Shisui is, for the first time in Kakashi's life, so much easier than being without him.

Raidou: Meeting Shisui had been... A trip. Here was this rising star of an already legendary Clan, someone with genius and achievements to rival Hatake Kakashi - and Raidou knew first-hand what a dick he could be - and the ANBU higher-ups thought it was a good idea to match him in a team with a minor-clan assassin and a civ-born 'doorman'. Brilliant. Raidou would admit he'd been braced for the worst, defensive and professional and wary of dramatics. And it sounded so cliche and uncomfortable - if Raidou ever got around to admitting as much out loud - that Shisui just wasn't like that. His smiles were genuine, even at the start when Raidou brushed him off with barely-concealed suspicion, and the admiration for Raidou's jack-of-all, patchworked skillset wasn't concealing distain or condescension. It took time for Raidou to stop waiting for the other shoe to drop, longer than many of their fellow Shinobi would've had the patience for, but... They grew closer. There were things Shisui, raised in the centre of a historic Clan and so far ahead of his peers, didn't even consider; he asked why Raidou clung to the Konohan Standard Taijutsu, forgetting that it was all Raidou had ever had the opportunity to learn, and then, when the reason was pointed out, he blushed a mortified red and spent the next few months helping - with aid from his Sharingan - Raidou put his own flare on it. He didn't know why Raidou loathed bloodstains on his uniform, because Shisui's Clan sorted their own laundry whilst Raidou had to soak and scrub his own. He told Raidou the extensive history of the Uchiha that he'd been drilled in as a child... And then listened, dark eyes gleaming and intently focused on Raidou's face, as the other plucked at the inconsistencies and pondered over truth and bias. Shisui had been raised, no matter how sweet and earnest he was as a person, from privilege - rich in history and wealth and with an advantage as a Shinobi but... With no childhood, no simplicity, such little choice, and maybe Raidou was learning things about himself too - but he never looked at Raidou like he was less. Their Squad was chaotic, with Kakashi and Genma and Tenzo - although the latter was unwittingly complicit so much of the time - and Raidou caught Shisui's laughing gaze as the two of them looked on. Something shared zapped between them, an understanding and a knowing, and it was suddenly they who were united against the world. And maybe it was hopeless and messy and nothing more than a stolen moment like this, maybe Raidou - the civilian born boy with a scar on his face like a stamp of his shortcomings - had finally grown too big for his boots because - he wanted. Kami, how he let himself want.

Genma: Genma was a lot of things but a coward wasn't one of them. It was a point of pride, in fact, since assassins were so often viewed as the dirtiest in their world, killers who lacked the strength for a straight fight and who lacked the courage to show themselves from the shadows... Idiots, all of them. They were Shinobi, not samurai, and Genma's hands were only as dirty as his fellow Elites, maybe even less so. He didn't hide what he was, the lengths he went to in the name of his village and people, and he didn't waste time hurling playground slurs when he could be getting the job done. Being in a Squad with others who understood that...was, frankly, a small miracle. Kakashi was as fucking professional as they came - discounting his rampant, off-the-clock instability, but Genma was to blame for some of that so he wasn't gonna say shit - and Raidou was his partner in crime. They'd failed Minato, and they'd failed together - there was a bond there, of knowing and guilt that they'd never shake free of, and it was there to stay. Tenzo... Was fucked up in a different way but he kept going and Genma admired his guts, even more than his impressive skills. And then... Shisui. Genma had pissed off a lot of people in his life, civilians and Shinobi both, but Shisui was the last person Genma wanted to mess with. Kakashi was constantly prickly, so prodding harder didn't usually amount to anything but a sour mood and a swipe, and Raidou ditched him for a bit if Genma pressed too hard in his direction; Tenzo was a kicked puppy and even Genma had standards. But Shisui? Shisui just fucking took it. He laughed and complained and didn't move an inch. He deflected, blushing mottled red where he'd once been miles of perfect skin, and he hissed and bickered and he went precisely nowhere. He was light and friendly and patience and earnest... And ruthless. He was death so fast that the eyes couldn't even follow him, he was blood dripping from a tantō edge and the nightmare presence watching over them all, ready in a heartbeat to whisk them away from certain death. He looked at Genma, dark eyes burning even without the Sharingan, and plotted their assassination without censure and he never shied from either of their own darkness. Genma had lost his mother and sister the night he'd failed to protect Minato, he'd gathered a second family of friends around him but these things were never permanent... But Shisui... He was an expert at Permanent. He'd been a kid when he'd planted himself protectively in front of his kid cousin and he'd not moved a muscle since. He'd been in ANBU only a few years shorter than Kakashi and he'd sworn, with the rest of them, not to leave until he did... And he'd stayed strong to that, not just suffering through but staying alive-alive. And his eyes- Genma played with people because it was better than risking himself and fucking up for real. And he played with Shisui more than he'd ever done with anyone, pushing harder when Shisui did nothing to put space between them, push and push and- it was vulnerable in its own way. Because Genma hoped, somewhat desperately where no one could ever find out about, that there wasn't a limit. That Shisui, fastest Shinobi alive, would stay put.

Tenzo: this might be a little briefer but I feel like I've covered these two a bit more than the others (namely, the ship ficlet in And All The Stars Seemed Closer) but: Shisui was always there. Tenzo's whole life had been beyond his own control, he had been a tool forged outside of his own making and, when he was free, Tenzo was...untethered. Shisui, in a strange way, was as familiar to Tenzo as much as he was foreign; he'd been raised for the will of the Uchiha Elders, errand boy and then pawn and, now, soldier. But he'd kept a hold of himself, rebelled in small ways and smuggled Hsi cousins away for dango instead of the promised training, had bypassed the clan guards to sneak Kakashi to an old Uchiha healer to ensure his eye wouldn't become infected, had ignored summons from the Elders only to claim that he never received them. It was little things that combined into a larger picture and Tenzo, who had been gagged and leashed his whole life, knew nothing except that he wanted Shisui to teach him how to live like that. And Shisui had. They went for dinner and ate dessert beforehand, they lay in fields and Tenzo was coaxed into picturing the most interesting shapes formed by the clouds, Shisui's shoulder a source of warmth where he lay so close by. He taught Tenzo to smile again, small but organic, and he soothed him through panic-stricken tears. And Tenzo didn't know a lot still, even less so about how to negotiate with the tangle of emotions lodged deep in his sternum, but this felt... Different to Kakashi-senpai and Genma and Raidou. It was companionship and admiration and gratitude and hope and- the urge to reach out and feel the curl of that dimpled smile for himself. It was knowing, with a shuddery warmth so different but also the same as a patch of sunlight, that these discoveries wouldn't be the same if Tenzo didn't do them with Shisui. And that was something to discover in itself.

Others: there are more ships but, since quite a lot of context is based off HOPE AU, several characters haven't been introduced yet so idk if they'd do anything for you guys?

Kisame: I literally just posted a Soulmate Prompt and also he's had a lot of limelight in UDB so I cba 😅 BUT we're talking star crossed, they've both been betrayed but Shisui fought back and stayed loyal whilst Kisame fled and has found new purpose thanks to Shisui, we're talking Shisui sees Konohan loyalty in Kisame and Kisame appreciates the Kiri viciousness in Shisui, they are ride or die and Kisame wonders how far Shisui will let him in, what would happen if he pressed even closer... If he kept following wherever Shisui led...

Shizune: Shizune was raised on stories that both loved and loathed Konoha. Having met Shunshin no Shisui, the man who had been thrown into the very depths of the village's rotten core and somehow torn both himself free and revealed the perpetrator, Shizune would admit to being...curious about the Konoha that inspired such devotion. That Shisui was sharp, dark eyes made liquid in the firelight, and could meet her remark for remark, well. Shizune couldn't help but wonder, as he pushed forwards to breathe his counter argument so close to her mouth, what being the focus of the loyalty of a man like Shisui would feel like.

Anko: it's a hate crush. He's pretty and perfect and she knows he's fucked up but people don't seem to realise it, they haven't seen shisui tear into someone in an interrogation cell and they haven't seen the angry furrow to his mouth in an argument and they haven't tasted the tang of blood on his teeth when words didn't cut it and kissing the stupidity out of him was the only option. Frankly, anko didn't want anyone else to know any of that either.

Asuma: see my Shisui/Asuma marriage ask prompt from earlier, it's better than I could convey here.

Gai: There were few people who could meet Gai and match him blow for blow, fewer still who could continue to do so on a regular basis, and even less who would take such genuine pleasure in such a routine. Gai was not a man to conceal truth from himself, he faced challenges every single day and knew that the genuineness of his effort was bettering him, even if the projects themselves were no further forward. Befriending Kakashi had been akin to approaching a wounded, feral animal - and, indeed, it remained a worthwhile but troubled dynamic - whilst befriending his Genin teammates had been a lesson in moderation and humility. Genma and Ebisu were people different from himself but fundamentally akin, enough for fondness to form but not for the ease of close companionship; Gai loved and valued them but he was under no illusions that they would ever have been extremely closely knit in their personal lives. Meeting Shunshin no Shisui, however, had been...illuminating; he had sought Gai out first. He wanted to train and knew that such improvement required an extremely dedicated partner... In Shisui's eyes, that could only mean Gai. He'd been frank in his reasoning, gratified instead of disconcerted by the suggestions Gai had immediately launched into, and he'd been shockingly warm when he'd held Gai's hand between his own as he thanked him. They'd met and it had been... Revitalizing. Gai, with no one but Kakashi able to keep up these days, hadn't realised how much he'd missed having an equal. Shisui was admiring whenever he was bested, determined as much as good natured, and he continued so as the days passed. Gai's luck did not wear out; Shisui kept matching him. And, more than that, it wasn't a secret. Gai had instinctively called out a greeting to him, when he'd spotted Shisui in the marketplace whilst completing his handstand laps, only for Shisui to laugh - joyfully, never meanly - at the sight of him and shout that he'd see him at the usual time, uncaring for the disbelieving gawking going on around him. Gai had learned, from his sensitive boyhood to his emotionally-intelligent but matured adulthood now, to allow the negatives of those around him to wash over him and not linger, something his peers struggled with. Shisui, one of the most notorious Uchiha, seemed to have similarly mastered this skill. He didn't shy from Gai or attempt to tone him down. He didn't fade away or lose interest. He matched Gai, move for move, and Gai was determined to take another step forwards!

Ao: PFFFFT-

Just a little something-something to make the shipping worse~

Anyway, hope you enjoy this, anon 👋✨

Another sketch dump based on twitter suggestions!

[nell0-0]

Just a bunch of sketches from the t&i Obito AU... I missed drawing my boy so much!!!

[mixelation]

Is there anyone in ANBU who likes Tori? aNYBODY???

no :)

(realistically probably there are people who don't mind her as a person but are like "OH GOD NO" at the prospect of working with her. like shisui doesn't dislike her THAT much; he just recognizes she'd be a nightmare to work with)

[thottyimagines]

Ideal naruto blunt rotation?

Honestly...

Kakashi, for I know he'd be more alert and much weirder than me.

Genma, who provides good vibes and also the weed.

Gai, who provides encouragement for those having panic attacks due to the drugs.

Tenten, who would prob be willing to run and fetch refreshments, should she be reimbursed and maybe taught something cool.

Tsunade in a good mood.

Shisui if he isn't being insane.

Anko if she doesn't feel like beating me up.

And, you know what, Orochimaru if he wasn't feeling particularly evil that day.

[general--winter]

these deadly waters, chapter 7: scatter

rating: mature

fandom: naruto

pairing: shisui x fem!oc, itachi x izumi, fem!oc x fem!oc

warnings: canon typical violence, child abuse, terminal illneses, graphic injury descriptions, rest in ao3 tags and updated with fic

summary:

Natsumi Senju, fifteen. A fantastic kunoichi, destined for power as the heir to the head of Konohagakure’s Senju clan, which has survived a tumultuous and controversial existence thus far. But the past has not been kind, and neither has her heart. The path laid out for her and the one she desires splinter from each other, like a tree cleaved by lightning down to the root. She’s not sure if the tides behind will claim her, or if she’ll have the strength to fight for her own way. Even so, where will that strength take her? Straight to hell, she figures. But living in hell is better than living a lie.

[evilkitten3]

everybody in naruto wants so badly to not be in naruto anymore that's why they keep killing themselves

kakashi’s dad, rin, minato and even obito’s deaths being due suicide is crazy like damn. nobody wanted to spend time with kakashi fr

[x-authorship-x]

You: Send me a Shisui ship and I will try and make it work

Me, taking aim to throw my Anko/Shisui at you: (ﾉ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Yo! ✨

Well, I'm a man* of my word~

Shisui/Anko is such a good ship 👀 I know I have them in HOPE AU as like "frenemies who have ST" but i could so easily twist that into an actually cohesive relationship...!

Let's get into the details..

Anko and Shisui work because of a few very tasty ingredients:

1) They both have experience with being devoted to the guidance of a superior only to have that thrown back in their face. For Shisui, he believed Danzo was helping (alongside Sarutobi) him stop the unrest without bloodshed only for Danzo to stab Shisui in the back, steal his bloodline, and hunt him for dead and then later orchestrate the massacre. Anko was devoted to Orochimaru, her sensei, only to discover his experimental atrocities and be left behind when he fled, a cursed seal fucking with her chakra in a village that now distrusted and reviled her. Talk about empathetic parallels!

2) they're fucked up in similar but varying ways. Anko embraces and plays on it, she enjoys toying with others and making them squirm and she's made a career out of the more unsettling branches of Shinobi work. Shisui is easy going and socially adept but underneath this lurks the potential for great violence and even greater mental fuckery. Anko might have you tripping balls as she rips out your fingernails but Shisui will manipulate you so good that you won't even remember the pain wasn't your idea. Together, they're a safe space of appreciation and acceptance of each other's viciousness without the need to moderate or sanitise their darkness.

3) they can match energy. Anko is extroverted and Shisui is an ambivert. This means that Anko can tear across the town and Shisui will grin and run even faster (this turns into a very dangerous game of tag that makes every single other person in Konoha wish the happy couple would cut them a break) because their energies feeds off each other. They'll fuck with people as a double act (getting Genma in on this is very dangerous) and bitch together. Shisui is technically the nicer one to approach but Anko is rarely far behind if she spots someone talking to him (and vice versa, although interrupting Anko is more because Shisui wants to witness the conversation OR to take pity on her victim). When they're in their Bad Feels, there is an unspoken level of understanding and any raging and/or wallowing will be done together (whilst Shisui is more likely to mope, Anko might lash out, and Shisui knows exactly how to handle the choking clutch of feeling too much, it's all good)

4) the nickname potential. Shisui will straight up call Anko 'my partner in crime' instead of gf.

Mikoto: your girlfriend? Lover? Other half?

Shisui: my inmate.

Meanwhile, Anko is torturing everyone within hearing distance

Anko: boytoy, wifey, victim, bitch, Twunk, stalker, pet project, sugar baby, parole officer

Shisui: :) yes?

Everyone else: 👁️👄👁️

Basically i think they're so much fun- angsty, yeah ofc, but with such potential for shenanigans too!

Shisui: so there's this plot for a coup and I'm trying to stop it and it's really stressful and also I'm missing an eye, babe, because Danzo betrayed me and stole it ;'(((

Anko: *already priming a massive fucking bomb* do you have his address? Nevermind, we'll hit every important building on the way-

Long story short- a great ship! Enjoy, Anon✨

[team7-headquarter]

If Kakashi could help teaching Naruto seals and Rin could teach Sasuke medical ninjutsu, I'm just saying it is fair that Obito taught Sakura more about genjutsus.

The funny thing is that, okay, I think the Team 7 trio should stick to their respective sannins like in the canon, and they all have their Team Minato sensei now. BUT!!!!

Can you imagine the auxiliary senseis?

Konan, Nagato and Yahiko should be there to train Naruto for sure. Sasuke has Anko and Kabuto and Itachi. So much I know. With Sakura I'm?????

Okay, maybe Inoichi to train Sakura with Inner? It's a bit (a lot) batshit crazy, but I'm giving her the connections she socially lacks using the untrained skills from her genin days. Maybe Shisui for the genjutsu? I would say Kurenai, but I need Sakura's auxiliary senseis to match the greatness of Team 7. Shizune is definitely there, if anything 'cause I think Sakura should throw way more poisoned senbons at her enemies.

With that being said, Team Minato rotates those kids like in a microwave. Kakashi helps Sasuke with chidori and Rin helps Naruto with the whole jinchuriki thing and Obito uses his sharingan to challenge both boys. Meanwhile, Rin and Sakura are medical experiment partners and Kakashi is there MAYBE to help her with enhancing her senses or body like she did in the Chuning Exams preliminaries against Ino.

[scrivenger-grimgar]

buckle up folks, its a long one

the Hatake turn into an animal during puberty, any animal and any Hatake-by-blood. after 24 hours, they turn human again and can then form contracts with bonded animals of their type.

adoption by blood is the Hatake's most coveted jutsu, though entirely unknown by other clans. the adopted lack the Hatake white chakra, but their children will have it!

Kakashi turns into a samoyed dog and this sparks great joy for Team Minato. this is why he has a bunch of dogs.

Sakumo is an arctic gray wolf and could bond with Fire Country's wolf packs.

Orochimaru is a blue coral snake. he adopted Anko, who is a boomslang snake, as well as his other kids; Kimimaro is a pangolin, Suigetsu is a leopard seal, Jugo is a tiger, and Karin is a giant river otter

Touka is a grizzly bear. she has several sun bear friends just to freak out the Senju elders.

Tobirama is a clouded leopard, and specifically took on missions to new places to look for leopards of different kinds, along with Touka for cousin-sibling bonding time!

if Kakashi starts using the blood adoption jutsu on his friends/students, well... that's clan business.

Sasuke turns into a nightjar! Itachi is a crow (obvs), and Shisui is a raven.

now, Kakashi didn't adopt Shisui. Shisui is Kagami's grandson, and Kagami was adopted by Tobirama, meaning Shisui has the Hatake white chakra! Kagami is a magpie.

Naruto becomes a maned wolf, which... well. Kakashi helps him find as many bush dogs and falkland wolves as possible, but they're rather rare critters.

Sakura becomes a lynx. she enjoys scaring the shit out of people with her calls.

Genma becomes a Komodo dragon, Hayate is a raccoon, Yugao a stoat

Sai is a burrowing owl, Iruka is an hourglass dolphin, Izumo is a sea eagle, and Kotetsu is a leopard shark.

Ino becomes a secretary bird, Shikamaru turns into an elk, and Choji is a giant salamander

Asuma is a gecko, Kurenai is a mocking bird, Tsunade is a bison, and Tenten is a porcupine!

Kiba is a borzoi and Hana is a newfoundlander

Hinata is a flemish giant rabbit and Neji is a badger

[orcelito]

And Here We Are Again

Sasuke's motivations in this weird filler arc au are shallow and stupid, but at least they're staying true to some of their key moments. Even if I think this arc just doesn't make sense.

They gave us a New Angle!!!!

On the iconic Sasuke Hanging Over Naruto In The Rain scene.

The original, of course, being this one

All the other flashbacks have been similarly horizontal. But this time, we got a diagonal to Really drive the point home

[mixelation]

i want to add more characters to con shenanigans but

in plasticity, jiraiya publishes anonymously. i can kind of see him at cons, hovering around icha icha panels like a fic writer googling themselves. i also think he and tori probably hate each other LMAO.* also i feel like kakashi's enjoyment of icha icha stuff would NOT be enhanced by jiraiya being present. jiraiya is maybe for a few funny cameos but not a main member of the crew. however i DO think true ninja history nerds would think the jiraiya-minato-kakashi cosplay group is so cool. hey random girl with them, can you take the photo--

*jiraiya hates tori in a normal way a grown adult might hate a teenager, in that he thinks she's really fucking annoying but there's nothing he cna really do about it except ignore/avoid her. tori hates jiraiya because in person he's a weird pervert and NOT in a fun way!!!

kushina presumably likes jiraiya's work but in an attempt to give her different interests from minato, we'll say she's into it in a very casual "i support jiraiya's hobbies" way. she IS proud there's a character based on her but also she wouldn't read the books if she didn't know jiraiya personally. kushina only shows up if she feels like she's being left out (so only if minato AND naruto go, or if all of team 4 goes. then it's a group activity and she wants in!!!). tori is both annoyed when kushina shows up BUT ALSO kushina is the only adult who dosn't get weird about going to an 18+ panel with her** kushina isn't like other moms. she's a cool mom

**tori and kushina accidentally go to a strip show together WHEN

i was thinking about other characters i think would like icha icha and/or historical ninja fiction/rpf....

ebisu - canon but also who likes ebisu? only if we need a cameo where they run into a rando ninja

itachi - i feel like he's a later edition. also i feel like he'd throw off the vibe and no one would know how to explain this to him

anko - i can see anko being a weird pervert but i'm pretty sure she and tori hate each other

shisui - i can see shisui being into stupid ninja rpf but ALSO i think it would be really funny if tori hated him. i can't find the post rn but i did suggest that shisui seems liek the type of person who would helpfully explain to tori why somethign she said was wrong and then it would be WAR FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS

kakashi: how do you have so many enemies in the village

tori: it's not my fault so many people are wrong???

deidara - i can NOT see deidara participating in any of the above on purpose. however his presence DOES cancel out itachi for vibes. he gets Bamboozled into attending

tori: SANNIN COSPLAY. you're tsunade* <3

deidara: YOU TOLD ME THIS WAS AN ART SHOW

*tori made these decisions based on appearance. deidara is tsunade; itachi is orochimaru. tori launches into a speech on how jiraiya has weird little man energy

kakashi: is she--

deidara: going on and on about being a weird little man again? YES, why did you let her even THINK about dressing up--

[shisui-uchiha-anon]

((For the meme! I am working on a reply to our lil thread of Hyper Quid Pro Quo))

[almost kiss]

CLOSE TO YOU ASK MEME

He thinks he is so smug, isn't he? A legend among nin a mad scientist, and an intelligent individual. Feared or avoided by everyone. Shisui looked him into his yellow eyes, and he felt no fear. All the accusations this man had to endure and still follow his own path.

Due to fate, Orochimaru was the one to save Shisui from a certain death at the bottom of the Naka River. Shisui was growing up by his side. Is this then fate or a natural thing to happen? A provocation? Or a test?

Countless times Shisui would provoke Orochimaru to bite him, to make him worthy as others he marked with his powers. Shisui wanted to be his one and only perfect marked subordinate. No, not subordinate anymore he wanted to stay side by side with Legendady Sasnnin. He knew he has power he knew he was worthy of that gift and honor.

There is only an inch apart from what you call a kiss. And inch parting a snake and a crow. Shisui’s onyx black eyes, shimmer into light grey. As if it was summoned. The cursed mark was activated the moment Orochimaru's breath tickled his lips. The cursed mark made itself known. Black retreated before the grey, human-round pupil shifts into a slit. Greeting its master. Eye of something that is not only human any longer.

The beauty of this trap the allure of it the soft hiss of a snake.... Deep down inside Shisui wanted this to happen in all that game of cat and mouse he started to notice Orochimaru to notice his physical appearance not just his intellect. More and more he would like what he saw, especially when Sannin would smile, it would brighten his face and make him more appealing younger more approachable.

But he also noticed his other side his every tch or hiss or angry growl that melts into shouting when experiments would fail or die. His incompetent servants or that woman Anko. Was he jealous of that girl? Maybe he was before Orochimar sank his fangs into his neck

Shisui leans in as if he is about to taste those cold pale lips. Almost! At the last second, he changed his route. His lower lip grazing Sannin's cheek on purpose? Or was it an accident a miss calculation? That he will leave Orochimaru to unravel

Shisui grins, moving that black silky hair away to see a pale face and yellow eyes framed with purple lines. Then he puts a finger under Orochimaru's chin speaking. "Or be brave and finish what you started or don't start it at all "
