(A/N) Onward to the Hokage's office! ShisuiSushiCat- Thanks and why do you think I keep writing and offering them? I love this pairing cause, like, pointy things! Oh yes, he absolutely dies too early. That's why I keep leaving him alive. Thank you, and hope to see you once again!
They landed right in the middle of the Hokage's office, ANBU immediately surrounding them.
Tenten barely blinked, and instead looked at the Hokage. "I come to report bloodline theft. This idiot—" she hip-checked Shisui, who once again reddened— "was in the middle of getting his eye stolen when I stepped in. The perpetrator is currently in T&I."
Hiruzen's eyes hardened. He knew bloodline theft was a serious crime, especially involving dojutsu users. The perpetrator would not be treated kindly. "Who?"
Tenten regarded him calmly. "Danzo Shimura. If you require proof, Shisui has a scroll that contains his left arm, implanted with dozen of Sharingan, on top of attempting to steal Shisui's."
Hiruzen looked sorrowful and opened his mouth to say something, probably in Danzo's defense, but a Tenten cut him off. "No. He will be convicted. He has gone too far this time. This isn't like the stolen clan kids or ROOT. You can't just let him get away with this again."
Shisui made a strangled noise, and this time, Tenten was pretty sure it wasn't because she'd done something to drag his crush up again. It was probably because she had interrupted the freaking Hokage. And told him off.
The Hokage did look very displeased. "Who are you, and how do you know that."
Tenten lifted her chin slightly. "My name is Tenten. I come from approximately 7 years in the future."
Another strangled cat noise from Shisui, a very disbelieving look from the Hokage, and quiet panic from the ANBU, who were probably wondering if they were supposed to be hearing this.
"ANBU, leave." The Hokage's voice was quiet and deadly. "This is an SS-class secret."
Shisui started inching away as well, but Tenten reached back and grabbed his arm. "You stay. You are involved in this mess Shisui Uchiha." 'And I'm not staying in the room alone with the Hokage.' Tenten added silently in her mind.
Shisui gulped slightly but stopped inching away.
"You said you were from the future?" The Hokage asked eyes narrowed.
Tenten nodded stiffly. "I am. No, there was no particularly world-ending event."
"Then why are you here?" The Hokage asked severely.
"Our enemy had been reanimating people. He got a hold of Mito Uzumaki's DNA and reanimated her. She used a seal to put me here," Tenten replied.
Another stepped on cat noise from Shisui. "You fought Mito Uzumaki?"
Tenten nodded. "Well, I did a lot of dodging, but I did cut her head off once. Right before she caught me."
She got a very confused look and explained. "She was a reanimation. No damage is permanent with them."
The Hokage sighed. "Alright. If you're stuck here for the time being, you'll have to be integrated into our main shinobi populace."
Tenten inlined her head. "Of course. With my specific abilities now, it wouldn't be out of the question for me to have been on an extended research mission to Uzushio. I am both part Uzumaki and Uzuki, and I have researched there before."
"You're merely 16, it wouldn't be plausible."
"It would if I was sent as a genin instead of being assigned to a team. I scored highly in my year and was an extra person, so I was allowed to be sent to Uzushio to research. Rotating teams of ANBU kept me safe and took the information I gathered back to Konoha."
"Sounds plausible to me," Shisui volunteered.
The Hokage sighed. "Fine. I'll get the necessary files inputted. You'll have to stay with someone until we can get you out on a few missions and you can get an apartment of your own."
"I can do it!" Shisui volunteered after a moment.
Tenten hummed. "It would show trust in the Uchiha clan, allowing them to house me while I got back on the mission roster."
The Hokage sighed. "Alright. Dismissed."
Tenten nodded and walked out, Shisui trailing a half step behind her.
They met Itachi a little while after they exited the tower, Itachi looking rather worried, and visibly relaxing when he saw Shisui mostly unharmed. Then tensing again as he saw Tenten.
"Ita-chan!" Shisui said, grinning. "Look who I found!"
"I found him," Tenten muttered, remembering that she was the one that had actually found the idiot in the clearing.
Shisui grinned at her, and Tenten sighed internally at the very lovestruck expression. Itachi looked rather bewildered. "Nice to meet you, I suppose. Did he hit his head or something?"
Tenten snickered. "No, he's unharmed as far as I know. Although whether he hit his head sometime previously before I met him, is yet to be determined."
Shisui pouted. "I did not hit my head!" Tenten and Itachi turned matching unimpressed faces on him, and he pouted further. "I didn't!"
"Sure," Tenten replied placatingly, patting his arm. At which he stopped pouting and went back to being lovestruck. Tenten rolled her eyes and turned back to Itachi. "Itachi Uchiha, right?"
Itachi nodded. "If you don't mind, I'll get my idiot cousin home."
"I would appreciate the help," Tenten told him. "Since apparently, he's brain-addled." She snickered at the return of the pout.
"I am not brain-addled!" Shisui protested, then basically disregarded his statement by walking into a tree.
Tenten snorted, and then blinked innocently at him. "You sure about that?" He had to be at least somewhat competent for Itachi to actually put up with him, but he just walked into a tree. And the sun wasn't even down yet.
Itachi looked extremely confused, and Tenten decided he was probably the most socially awkward person she had ever met. And she had been on a team with Neji and Lee.
"Let's just go," Tenten said, chuckling slightly and herding Itachi and Shisui off in the direction of the Uchiha compound. Or, where she thought the Uchiha compound was, anyway.
Luckily, they made it there with no problem, Itachi knocking on the door to his house before leading them in.
"You'll have to meet my parents at some point," Itachi had said on the way over. "Might as well be now."
"Nii-san!" Sasuke shouted happily, launching himself at Itachi, who took the attack stoically, wrapping his arms around his brother so he wouldn't fall. "You're back early!"
Tenten blinked rapidly for a few seconds, trying to reconcile the tiny and frankly quite adorable Sasuke before her, with the grumpy, perpetually angry, and not at all cute Sasuke from her time.
"Itachi, you're back early," Mikoto greeted as they entered the dining room. Fugaku simply glowered at them. She noticed Shisui and Tenten, and looked highly amused. "And with guests. Hello Shisui."
"Hello Mikoto-san," Shisui replied, waving with a smile. "Fugaku-sama."
Tenten bowed respectfully. "My name is Tenten. No last name. I recently returned from an extended mission, and will be staying with Shisui-san until I can get back on the mission roster, and find some place else to stay." She knew enough to tell this would be a good time to be formal.
Mikoto smiled. Tenten got the impression that she was the one that made all of the decisions in the house. "Why don't you two stay for dinner? Shisui, we haven't had you over in ages, and I'd like to get to know the young lady you'll be housing."
Shisui looked a bit torn, but Tenten's stomach chose that moment to let itself be known.
"You gotta monster in your stomach!" Sasuke declared. "We gotta vanquish it!" He took her hand and dragged her towards the table. Tenten allowed it with an amused smile.
"Well, alright, I suppose I'll have to stay and vanquish the monster trying to eat me," Tenten said, amused as Sasuke tried to seat her next to him, then realized he had only one spot next to him, and that was supposed to be for Itachi.
"She can sit next to me Sasuke," Mikoto said, smiling at Sasuke's determined expression. "Then you can see her from across the table."
Sasuke seemed alright with that situation, so Tenten moved back around the table to settle in next to Mikoto. Shisui sat next to her, and Itachi yielded to Sasuke's demands to sit next to him.
Everyone seated, they began eating once more, Fugaku glaring at Tenten between bites before Mikoto discreetly hit him, and he was forced to stop, lest he end up sleeping on the couch.
A minute or so into the meal, and Mikoto leaned over and whispered in Tenten's ear. "He's cute when he's love struck, isn't he?"
Tenten nearly choked on her bite, but managed to swallow without incident. "You noticed?"
Mikoto smiled a very mysterious smile. "Sweetie, I hung out with Kushina. And I am the Matriarch of the Uchiha clan. I can recognize a love struck expression when I see one."
What on earth did Kushina… oh. Lord Fourth. He was the love struck type? Tenten voiced the last thought. "Her husband was the love struck type?"
Mikoto nodded. "Absolutely. Quite a bit like that one there," she motioned slightly to Fugaku. "And that one," she gestured to Shisui.
Shisui flushed deeply as Tenten giggled softly. Fugaku glowered down at the table.
"Unfortunately," Mikoto continued. "That one has yet to figure out that hanging around with females is fun." She gestured to Itachi, who looked confused.
"Women can be perfectly fine mission partners," Itachi said blandly, furrowing his eyebrows slightly.
Tenten and Mikoto snickered in unison, confusing Itachi further. Shisui reached across the table and patted him on the head consolingly.
(A/N) Haha, poor Itachi, confusion is imminent. This is what he gets for having no social abilities. Since apparently no one noticed the question on Lilo n Stitch, any one interested in a discord server, or should I drop it.
