The Reason Why Shisui…

…decides to threaten Neji.

(Credit to D for this idea)

Because really, even after ten years nobody was good for his other baby sis, right?

(His opinion, honestly.)

The younger generation of ninja surprised him, he admitted. Hyuuga working hard to create a different seal, something hidden, something for all members of the clan…

…yeah, no, it was just his clan and the Hyuuga clan he was pleased to note had a real change in attitude.

And his other baby sis, of course.

Her arrival in the Hidden Leaf Village caused quite an uproar; what with her being a queen and all that. There was a small procession, his little sister keeping her head up high, and Saki holding the door for her to see the Kage…

Shisui missed Naruto in the last decade.

Not that he hadn't missed anyone else, he just… Really hadn't missed anyone else quite as much.

So, when he went to see her, he happened to hear that Hyuuga brat talking to her, sounding a bit nervous.

"Do you, maybe, want to get pizza sometime? Maybe?"

His voice was nervous, as though he didn't really know what he was doing.

Shisui's eyes sharpened into the Sharingan. Nobody was good enough for his baby sis.

Hell, Saki was his blood sister and Itachi wasn't good for her! But he knew Saki enough – and Itachi – to only threaten their lives, knowing that Saki or Itachi would probably hate themselves afterwards and killing a fellow ninja was highly frowned upon.

He knew Naruto well enough that she really wouldn't be pleased if he just threatened Neji's life.

So, he'd make sure Neji never told.

Stalking the Hyuuga was short-lived, as Shisui simply had to flash a Sharingan in his direction for Neji to get it.

In the illusion, Shisui smiled at Neji.

"You hurt her," he began, "and you die. In the most painful way possible." He glared at Neji.

Neji swallowed. "I don't intend to hurt her."

Shisui grinned. "Most people don't." In this illusion, he did not use his Sharingan. He found it was an effective way to get people to do what he wanted. The knowledge he could use his Sharingan on them but didn't.

(Okay, so he may thrive on the fear of a few people. Who, in all seriousness, cared?)

"Are you done threatening me?" Neji questioned.

Shisui knew he'd put fear into the Hyuuga's heart.

"Yep! Good talk!"

"You know," Naruto mentioned during a cup of tea in the Uchiha district, "you didn't have to threaten my boyfriend."

Shisui ignored the choking sounds of his brother-in-law and sister. "I thought it would be prudent, even though I know for a fact you'd kill him yourself."

Naruto shook her head. "I would not." She sipped her tea, ignoring Shisui's raised brow for the moment. "I died for him, if he decides I'm not worth him then it's his loss. I'll just find someone who might do the same for me." She tapped her chin. "Ren-kun is a very handsome Uzumaki. I think he would probably do."

Shisui sweatdropped. "You're probably going to outlive everyone here," he mused. "Why choose him, a person who you'll outlive? Knowing such a thing must be heartbreaking."

Naruto stared at him, her face serene and calm.

"I begged him yesterday to reconsider," she said, startling them. "He asked me to marry him." She set her teacup down. "I told him everything I could to get him to reconsider but he persisted. He told me he already died for me once. He also told me that when he actually does die, that if I return him to life, he's going to kill me for doing that."

"I see," Shisui said, truly seeing. "And… Does this mean you will have a child to become a queen?"

Naruto stared at him.

"First of all, I am nowhere near ready to have a child, and second that child would become queen if I wanted a break… Look, since I'm going to live ages, obviously there will be times where my firstborn is Queen. But I am the reigning queen, and my orders will supersede any my child makes."

She sipped her tea again.

"Neji and I will discuss everything in due time," she finished, setting her teacup down and wincing when it came to hearing it clink.

The wedding day for them was long overdue.

Even so, as Neji walked around, many, many people 'discreetly' fingered their kunai.

(Shisui saw Hinata pat Naruto on the back, laugh, and then whisper something in the woman's ear. Hinata did the same for Neji.

It came as no surprise to some that Hinata and Shisui married later on, but… That's a totally different story.)
