Naruto.

Back to the main stuff.

After a few years, Itachi was turning thirteen in a few months, while Shiori was fourteen and Shisui was fifteen. They all have been training together and separately, Shiori improving on her hand signs memory and speed to perform them well enough. There was also the usual sparring training with Itachi and Shisui she did, but with the added Uchiha Izumi, and sometimes training Sasuke or Naruto.

Uchiha Izumi was friendly and kind, but kept her distance from Shiori and seemed watchful of the Aburame. Shisui helping Izumi improve on her sparring and even practice using her sharingan as he was pretty well practiced with his own. The training was good for all of them, although there were times when they really did get distracted by missions or clan duties that came up to where Naruto and Sasuke, whom held less responsibility in the clan helped each other practice.

Later,

Shisui knew that the Uchiha clan was in turmoil and wanted a change to happen in the Leaf village or they would force the change. He did not want the clan to act as rashly as it was sounding. Himself and Itachi have been meeting with the third hokage and sometimes with the council on the matter occurring in the village.

Shisui was hoping using his sharingan's special technique, kotoamatsukami, to prevent the coup d'etat from happening. The many afternoon meetings that occurred to discuss their clan goals became consistent and easiest time for Shisui to hopefully use the Kotoamatsukami on the clan, and change the way the clan was going.

It soon changed, as senbon were thrown from out of nowhere and a group of cloaked people attacked out of nowhere leading Shisui to a clearing. Once their masks were shown, it soon became apparent that they were from 'Root' Foundation, and who was behind the attack itself.

Danzo appeared, Shisui could not understand why he would prevent a plan to stop a possible coup, but only to hear how Danzo saw the use of the Kotoamatsukami as poorly done and the loss of the Uchiha better than to keep them around all.

He could feel anger, but also worried as Danzo hinted at taking the sharingan for himself. Able to defend against the members of the Foundation rather well, then face against Danzo one-on-one, but for the members to suddenly jump in once more, pushed him to where Danzo found the opening to take his eyes.

Shiori's pov,

I was catching up on my studies when my hive started to buzz more and more, first it was like a soft hum almost like if you felt a soft breeze on your skin and it just tickled at your skin from an non-existent wind. It only became more intense to where I felt like my skin was being cooked in a pot, there was a constant heat around my limb and within it, nothing could cool that limb at all, it seemed.

I got up from where I sat, and looked through the bug vision that was slowly happening to find something going on near the Uchiha district.

"Oh… boy, Gotta hurry now." I said to myself, and started leaping rooftop to rooftop, then tree-to-tree, as I came to them. It was long, but felt long when I caught up to where the fight had occurred.

Shisui was standing at the Naka River with Itachi and they seemed to be talking about something, but I was standing in the tree line across from them.

'Not sure whether to thank you insects or berate you all for making me late to the previous scuffles…' I thought, watching the scene with my limbs still on fire from something I had no idea about.

When I saw Shisui slowly head closer to the cliff edge, ready to fall into the Naka River, I started running to the edge where I was and hoping to stop the suicide, planned or not.

'Nope, Nope, nope, nope...' my mind repeated incessantly, as I used my chakra to leap across and aiming to catch him before the river below does.

Shiori caught Shisui by the collar and her feet were glued firmly with chakra to the Cliffside that she was looking towards a few moments before her leap. Shisui stuck in a stupor of shock from one friend saving him in the woods, and the other coming to stop him from death itself, planned or not.

Readjusting where she held her friend, so he was not being choked by gravity and clothing, she carried him back up to the cliff and held his collar once more when on stable footing with the two Uchihas.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi who was more relieved his friend was saved, but held his expression well as neutral. Shisui slowly got out of his daze to look at Shiori with questions on why she stopped him and how she even knew where he was even at.

"I planted my insects on you both to watch over you two, but I am more than grateful that it worked out, even if I wish that I was here sooner." Her relinquishing of information that pointed to her tracking them a bit more intently rather evident.

"You're not throwing away your life, Shisui-kun, and Itachi-kun, you will be watching over him at my compound… Or Izumi-san?" I threw my plan at them, not interested in taking a 'no' from either of them, and if he was busy, the female Uchiha seemed like a fair idea.

The two Uchiha were not sure how to go about Aburame Shiori's forceful plan and how to still go about their own clan's coup that may be stewing still.

"Why don't you and Itachi have a political marriage? It may slow down the turmoil…" Shisui mentioned, he did not want to mention it brashly, but also felt that the two would be cute together.

"How are you and Izumi-chan doing? Are you two dating?" Shiori asks back, a smile present, but there was viciousness in there as she asked it. There was nothing against an Uchiha liking other Uchihas, despite still finding cousins or distant cousins marrying each other an odd choice, she was fine with it. But, from how much she saw Shisui flinch away from the questions she asked, he knew not to ask about marriage with her, no matter how serious the circumstances were.

Uchiha Itachi decided to just nod with the decision of the current plan and helped Shiori take Shisui to the Aburame compound, the two forcing the Uchiha with them and into a private room of that compound.

After speaking with Aburame-sama, the head of the clan, we changed strategy by going to Nekotama and asking for their assistance in exchange for allies of the human kind. Pleading their case to the head of the Neko compound, which was rather interesting experience for Shiori.

Shiori had her insects investigate low-key, prodding Uchiha Shisui's system in search of any poison that could of infiltrated the person's system at all.

Shiori did accomplish one goal, saving Shisui... begrudgingly (Stubborn Shinobi), temporarily or permanently?

Thought it weird for her to invite into her compound and the cat-nin place seems reasonable.
