(A/N) How many of you forgot about the arm?
When dinner was finished, Sasuke was sent to bed with much protesting and pouting. Mikoto only smiled, and pushed her youngest away to his bedroom.
"Itachi dear, why don't you walk them home," Mikoto suggested, although her tone informed them it wasn't actually a suggestion.
"Of course, mother," Itachi replied politely, ushering them out of the door.
"I don't think Fugaku likes me much," Tenten commented, as they left and she closed the door behind them.
"He doesn't like anyone much," Itachi said. "Don't take it personally."
"I won't," Tenten assured him. "It's so quiet out here."
Shisui sighed unhappily. "There's a bit of a curfew. Most people are inside long before it. It's not particularly strict, but it's annoying."
Tenten frowned deeply. Was this why the Uchiha had revolted? Because of a bunch of stupid rules put in place? "Well, some things should be lifting, with that traitor in prison. Oh! Shisui! You forgot to give the arm to Fugaku!"
Itachi looked suspicious. "What arm was supposed to go to my father."
"Danzo's," Tenten said hurriedly, Shisui apparently not finding it fast enough for her tastes, so a flicker of chakra later, and the scroll was in her hand. "I'll return it, give me a second!" She hurried back towards the house, and Itachi and Shisui chased after her.
"What on earth is she talking about?" Itachi hissed to Shisui as they entered the house after her. "Danzo's arm?"
"Fugaku-sama," Tenten said, stopping in the dining room, where Fugaku was still seated, doing paperwork. "I forgot to give something to you. As the clan head, I trust you to do what is needed." She tossed over the scroll. "I stopped an attack on Shisui, Danzo had tried to steal his eyes. I took his arm in retribution, and he is now in T&I. Check the scroll."
Fugaku's face was stormy as ever, a slight hint of respect now present. He opened the scroll, moved his paperwork aside, and unsealed the arm covered in Sharingan eyes. Mikoto, who had just entered the room, gasped loudly, then left to make sure Sasuke was in his room.
Fugaku seemed frozen, staring at the arm. "How-"
Tenten shrugged. "Like I said. I stopped an attack on Shisui. Danzo had been attempting to steal Shisui's eye to replace his own. I stopped Danzo, knocked him out, and hiraishined all three of us to T&I to drop him off. From there, we discovered the arm, and I removed it, storing it in that seal to be given back to the Uchiha. Only I and members of the Uchiha clan can access the seal, so it is safe from those who would take advantage of the unprotected nature of the eyes."
Fugaku gaped for a moment longer, then recovered, sealing away the eye again. "I will ensure the eyes are incinerated. None of their owners are still alive. I will give back the scroll tomorrow. Dismissed."
Tenten bowed shallowly, then turned and walked right back out of the house, ignoring the somewhat shocked gaze of Itachi, and the absolutely star-struck gaze of Shisui.
When they made it back to Shisui's apartment, Shisui ran off to prepare his only other room, and Tenten remained with Itachi in the main room.
"I thank you for saving my idiot cousin," Itachi said first.
"It was no problem," Tenten replied. "Everyone needs to be saved sometimes. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time."
Itachi inclined his head.
"Do me a favor, Itachi," Tenten said, glancing at him. "Don't listen to roots in the shadows. The chickens won't flee the coup, I will make sure of that."
He stared at her for a moment, Sharingan activated. "How do you know that?"
Tenten stared right into his Sharingan, unaffected. "When Shisui gets back in here, I'll tell you the whole story."
He stared at her for a moment longer, then turned off his Sharingan, and sat down on one of the couches. Tenten sat across from him, perching on a random stool.
Shisui walked in a moment later, blinking at the rather tense atmosphere. "I'm guessing we're having a talk?" He asked, plopping down on the couch next to Itachi.
Tenten nodded. "Itachi, I am from approximately 7 years in the future. Shisui is already aware of this, as is the Hokage. It is an SS-class secret as of now, but you need to know."
"She was fighting Mito Uzumaki in her future, and Mito sent her back here through a seal," Shisui explained shortly.
Tenten nodded. "If you wouldn't mind, I can tell you the outcome of the Uchiha coup."
Both of their attention was solely on her, and with a flicker of chakra, Shisui activated privacy seals.
"What is it?" Itachi asked urgently.
"An event called the Uchiha massacre," Tenten said calmly. "Itachi, you slaughter the entire Uchiha clan with the exception of your younger brother. You then flee to Akatsuki, and become an S-class criminal until Sasuke kills you, roughly 6-7 years later."
Shisui frowned while Itachi tried to process that. "I wouldn't let that happen."
"I assume you died beforehand," Tenten said. "I don't actually know. But I'm pretty sure the Uchiha massacre was scheduled for two days from now. Based on what happened earlier, I'd say you probably lost your eye, maybe both, at Danzo's hands, then died somehow."
"Then why did you save me? If clearly I had no effect on the future."
"You had no effect cause you died," Tenten pointed out. "And if I'm right, one of the reasons Itachi was convinced to do the massacre, was because you died, and weren't there to either stop him or convince him otherwise."
"With any luck, the massacre won't happen," Shisui said, glancing out a window.
"Given I'm fairly sure Danzo ordered Itachi to do it, it shouldn't. With him in T&I, hopefully, the grip on the Uchiha clan should loosen, and they can reconnect with the village."
"That would be wonderful," Itachi murmured. "Sasuke would be able to grow up happier."
Tenten nodded. "It may be a long path, but hopefully, it will be worth it. You two will have to convince the rest of the clan, I'm an outsider, and even with saving Shisui and returning those Sharingan, they won't trust me. Your clan doesn't trust easily, or so I've been told."
Shisui inclined his head. "We tend to protect our feelings whenever possible. Uchiha tend to react badly to betrayal, or what we see as a betrayal."
Tenten yawned suddenly, feeling all of the chakra she'd used that day. Which was a lot. As little chakra Hiraishin consumed, the battle with Mito hadn't been the only one she'd been in, and they'd required use of far more chakra.
"I will leave you so you can sleep," Itachi said, standing up. "If I may return in the morning?"
Tenten looked at Shisui, who nodded. "Sasuke may want you to join him for breakfast though," he said. "So maybe after that?"
Itachi nodded, and left silently.
Shisui stood up as well, stretching. "The guest room's all set up, bathroom's right next door. You can use it, I took a shower this morning."
Tenten nodded, standing up and yawning again. "Thank you. Good night."
Shisui smiled bashfully, and yawned as well, wandering off into the kitchen. Tenten yawned once more, then went into the guest bedroom to drop most of her gear off.
She selected the clothes she wanted from the scrolls she had her clothing in, noting she may want new stuff, perhaps after her first mission.
She went into the bathroom Shisui had noted earlier. She did need a shower, hadn't had a proper one in quite a while. There were water jutsu to use instead, but they just weren't as good.
Tenten stripped quickly, using the mirror to check the spots that had burned earlier when she had originally traveled back.
She blinked at the spot roughly over her heart. A crow entangled in holly branches rested there, it's eye showing what looked like a different variant of the Mangekyou Sharingan Sasuke had. A holly flower was blooming to the right of the eye, creating quite the contrast.
The same symbol of the crow with the holly was accompanied by a holly covered bloody tanto on her stomach, right under her ribs.
On her back, the third place that had burned slightly, there was a massive Hachibi taking up most of her upper back, similarly entangled in holly branches. Killer B? He was the only one she knew that held the Hachibi. What was the mark even for? Did it mean other people? She assumed the holly meant her, given it was on all three marks.
The marks didn't seem to be harmful or anything, so Tenten ignored them as she showered, and got dressed in other clothes.
She collapsed into the bed, sighing happily as she burrowed into the covers. It'd been a while since she'd slept in an actual bed.
(A/N) So, holly actually means foresight, so I figured it fit. Shisui is the crow, obviously, Killer B is the Hachibi, and Itachi is the bloody tanto. If you're wondering, Young Tenten has a kunai with her hiraishin mark on it. I made a discord server if anyone's interested, the code being pnQAF39.
