"Overflow"
Shisui wondered if it was possible to love too much. The Yondaime had loved his home and all of the people in it so much that he gave his life up for them. And years later, his love was still felt throughout the village.
She wondered, because her love for him still caused her heart to ache at his absence. It still caused her body to long for his. Her love for him made her act against her clan's ideals, but it made her reach out and save her family's newest prodigy. He thanks her, but she knows his father is not pleased with his new behavior. It isn't good to have the two geniuses spend so much time together if they may be plotting destruction.
She used to tell him, between passionate kisses during stolen moments, that her love for him would drive her to her death. And she is partly right, in the end. It was he who taught her how to love, and in turn she realized that by loving she could not perform her duties properly. She chooses him, and her love for him, abandoning her status and her family one day when she understands there is no forgetting him.
She drowns herself in the river she and he would often eat private lunches together at, and she tells herself that her love is too great to be contained in her body, and that is why she can no longer live a lie.
