SilverIcy – Yeah, I loved that scene too. :p Those two are so cute together, I love writing about them. Oh Sasuke, why are you so perverted? No wonder Hiruzen turned out to be a closet pervert, reading Icha Icha and even helping his student, Jiraiya, out with a jutsu to cloak himself from the women when he peeps on them. You'll never know what could go wrong. *grins sadistically* I'm glad you loved that chapter, I loved it too! Like always, I appreciate your support and kind review! ;D
The Ice Sorceress – I was already planning to do that. :p Shisui will be like, "Eeeeh…?" since two Kages are practically asking her hand but about that war. Hmm… I don't know about that, I'll think about it. Hihi, thank you, I'm impressed with myself too since I normally don't upload that fast. What do you mean any new ideas I can follow? You mean like a new story I would publish or something? :p Thank you for the kind review, I appreciate your support! :D
Undertaker's Hattress – Thank you for your lovely review! I will! Enjoy another chapter! ^.^
Sylencia – Long live fluffy chapters and Sasuke's perverseness! Hihi, you do that girl, you'll never know when something will pop up. ;p Of course Madara-kun isn't a virgin, he just waits till his siblings had married and then he would start his own family. He is such a noble, caring big brother! *squeals* Hmm… I will, thanks for telling me. Good luck with it! ;D

Chapter 22: Preparations
"Kagami-kun, faster!" She encouraged her mini-father as he avoided her soaring kunai's, giant rocks and uprooted trees his way with impeccable speed. Since he was a Uchiha, she was training him solely on speed, just like her training used to be. Kagami had activated his Sharingan the first time they had done this speed training. He couldn't see the kunai's that she threw at him and his slowly on his eyes flickered towards the ruby-red and then back to his normal onyx black. He had two tomoes in each of his eyes and she was so proud of him, she had given him one of her special fire jutsu's, which he will master before the Chunin Exam would start. Two more months and it would start, she had announced her Genin entries to Madara and Hashirama a month before. Of course, they were pleased with her talented Genin and had granted her permission to enter them.
After four hours of dodging projectiles, Kagami was beat and dropped on the ground, trying to steady his breathing and his fingers would twitch the moment something came near him. Good, she had drilled that into his head. "And to finish it up, let's run one lap around the training ground."
Kagami groaned as he pushed his wobbly legs up, shaking his head to clear away the dizzy feeling. Looking at his sensei, he glared at her, "You're evil."
"I've heard that a lot! Let's run!" She chirped happily, oblivious to his deadly Uchiha glares.
Another Shisui clone was training Danzo with his wind release. Her student threw five kunai's towards her, combining it with his wind jutsu, "Futon: Reppusho!" He screamed loudly, clapping his hands together as he compressed the wind, transforming it into a powerful gale. The wind jutsu pushed the kunai's to a faster speed but for Shisui it was a piece of cake.
Smirking, she flickered away from one spot to another, using her famed Hiraishin no Jutsu, and Danzo could only watch in awe and admiration as his beautiful and strong sensei avoided all the kunai without sweating a bit while he was sweating so much, he was literally soaking.
Torifu breathed out deeply, leaning against his knees as he looked at his sensei, his bo lying on the ground, "Shisui-sensei, I'm tired…"
"Hmm… you did train your Bojutsu very good today, along with your jutsu's." She tapped her under lip and brightened, "Alright, go back to the real Shisui and then we can go out for some barbecue!"
Torifu's face lit up and with a wide grin, he leaped at his sensei, hugging her to death at the mere mention of barbecue. He fell on the ground, the last thing he had heard from his sensei's clone was a loud squeal before she burst into smoke. "Oops."
Blinking his eyes, he looked around, wondering if anyone saw him. "Who cares about others? I'm having barbecue!" He hopped back on his two feet and walked back towards his sensei, whistling a happy tune.
Shisui was skipping next to Kagami who was breathing loudly, his legs threatening to collapse at any moment. "I believe in you, Kagami-kun!" She cheered on with a bright smile.
"A-Almost…" He breathed out and when he reached the finish, he collapsed on the ground, puffing and huffing loudly. He really did his best today.
Her eyes softened and with green encased hands, she healed his body, prompting his body to ease up. "There, there, how do you feel?"
"Arigatou sensei." He murmured softly, accepting his teacher's hand and stood up in one fluid move. She really was a great medic-nin and he was proud to have her as his teacher.
At that moment two other voices piped up, "Barbecue! We're going to eat barbecue!" Danzo and Torifu appeared, arms hanging over each other's shoulder, while singing a song about getting barbecue. She chuckled at their cute antics and ruffled Kagami's hair, "It seems we're going to eat barbecue. Care to join?"
"I wouldn't want to miss it for the world." Kagami replied with an amused smirk plastered on his face.
"Let's go to Yakiniku Q!" Shisui exclaimed loudly, joining Danzo and Torifu's loud cheers for barbecue. "Kagami-kun, join us!" She pulled him towards her, embracing him tightly against her side as the four walked towards the favorite spot in Konoha.
Yakiniku Q was a restaurant with large wide windows, multiple green-seated booths, though some tables allowed customers to sit down on the floor with green cushions as their seats, menus plastered on the walls, and due to the Gyu-Kaku-style, each table has a charcoal brazier built in the center and was equipped with tongs for cooking, since the Gyu-Kaku form of dining was one in which the customers cooked their own food after ordering it.
The manager smiled warmly at his favorite customers, "It's on the house today, see it as a good-luck-present for the Chunin Exam."
"Arigatou gozaimasu." The four of them spoke in gratitude, bowing in respect to the shop owner.
The man blushed at the attention he got and waved them off, "Now, now, no need to bow for me. Enjoy the meal." With a wink he left them to their service as they walked towards their usual spot next to the window.
Shisui sighed happily, "I think I'm in love…"
"Who?" The three asked curiously in unison since their sensei was a lovely woman whom every man was after, they weren't idiots, they saw how many attention Shisui attracted with only her appearance.
Shisui blinked her eyes, wondering why her students were looking at her like that, she pointed behind them towards the food that was coming their way with their same blushing waiter who would sneak peeks at their teacher. "Nani?! Me?!" The waiter spoke loudly, eyes wide in disbelief.
"Huh? I meant the food…" She grinned sheepishly, taking the food from the waiter's sulking self and started cooking the meat, "I love this one, that one, oh, and that one!" In less than two seconds, she had placed the meat on the brazier, watching with wide, adoring eyes how the meat cooked a beautiful golden-brown color and then she popped that in her mouth.
Meanwhile, her students were staring at her with a dead panned look, wondering why their teacher could be so weird at times…
Shisui perked up and looked at her students, "Is there something wrong?"
Kagami face-palmed himself, Danzo hit his head repeatedly on the table and Torifu shrugged, munching on the deliciously cooked meat. "Not really." He answered after swallowing, "The barbecue is delicious, sensei!"
"It is!" She chirped happily, looking like a squirrel as she munched on the meat.
While Kagami and Danzo were eating in dignity, Shisui and Torifu were not.
Shisui looked at Torifu.
Torifu looked at Shisui.
Their eyes flickered down on the last piece of meat that was cooking nicely. Only a bit more.
Locked, narrowed eyes glared at the other one, chop sticks clicking against each other as drips of sweat rolled down their forehead.
"Torifu-kun, be a nice student and let your dear Shisui-sensei eat the last piece of barbecue." Shisui spoke sickeningly sweet.
Said Akimichi shook his head, "No can do, Shisui-sensei."
Another click of their chopsticks. It was already a crispy golden-brown meat, it was ready.
With a battle cry the two aimed their chopsticks, ready to pick up the last meat but suddenly stopped abrupt. Blinking their eyes, they stared at an empty brazier.
"Nani?!" They shouted loudly, looking at each other with a vicious glare, "Torifu-kun, how could you steal my last barbecue!"
"Sensei! How dare you push the blame on me! It's obvious that you ate the last piece!" He gasped out in shock, angry that his teacher would stoop that low to steal his cooked meat.
And Danzo snickered quietly, munching on the last meat while his sensei and teammate were fighting over it.
After the fight with Torifu, Shisui had ordered another round, she had kept a watchful eye on the Akimichi, who was doing the same with her.
A soft cough interrupted her and looking up, a bright smile appeared on her face, "Tobirama-kun! And your little cute students!" She noticed his little Genin team trotting behind him and motioned for her team to make some place for their guests, "What are you doing here?" She asked curiously since Tobirama didn't visit this food restaurant often.
Tobirama sat down next to her, "I saw you having a fight over the last piece of meat." He smirked when she blushed a bright red. "It was very entertaining."
"Secretly, you're just jealous about the fact that we had barbecue and you not."
He stared at her, wondering if she was normal, "Sure…" His eyes flickered to Koharu who was watching them with adoring eyes, hearts in her eyes. He didn't know how much he could stand her constant gushing about how cute they would look together. He was glad that he could change the subject just by talking about Kagami, Shisui's student.
Shisui hummed happily, popping another cooked meat in her mouth, "How are your students faring?"
"They are ready for the Chunin Exam." Tobirama replied, his eyes flickering to her lips and then to the meat. He swallowed quietly, wondering why he was feeling so…off. He noticed a small smudge on her cheek and without thinking he cleaned it away with his thumb. Everyone watched him and he coughed softly, motioning them to continue. Once again, he wondered why he did such a bold move…
She blushed slightly but recovered herself quickly, a wide grin on her face, "Thank you, Tobirama-kun. And of course they are! You trained them!" She looked at Hiruzen and the other two, "Bring them tomorrow over for another joint-training, alright?" Picking up another meat, she aimed it to Tobirama's mouth who regarded her with a are-you-kidding-me-look. "Come on! It's good, I promise." She urged him, poking his closed lips with the meat.
Tobirama glared at her since he couldn't talk, his cheeks a faint red as he pushed her hands away but Shisui embarrassed him even further by copying a train, "Tuut! Tuut! Here comes the train!"
When Shisui smiled evilly, he raised one of his eye brows, eying her warily. He groaned lowly when Shisui stomped on his feet and the meat was stuffed in his mouth. He was ready to spit it out but Shisui moved his jaws and smacking her lips loudly, "There, there, doesn't that tasted wonderfully good?"
When he finished chewing, he scoffed at her, "You can be so annoying."
"And you still love me!" She chirped happily, leaning against his shoulder as she batted her eye lashes, "Can I feed you again?"
His eye brows twitched, "No."
"Pretty please?" She tried again, her under lip trembling as she looked at him with her puppy eyes.
He scowled at her, "Do you understand the meani-" His sentence was cut off when Shisui stuffed another meat in his mouth.
"You look so cute!" She rubbed her cheeks against his, ignoring his dark aura while the six students scooted away, feeling the killer intent from Tobirama rise to a suffocating level.
Shisui crossed her arms, glaring at Tobirama who had whacked her on her head, "You're so mean."
"You're so annoying." Tobirama replied, eyes narrowed. Sometimes that woman made him loose his temper like no one else and then he would be angry at himself for letting go of his calm and composed expression.
Hiruzen snuck a peek at the two brooding legendary ninja's, "I'll give them two minutes and they'll be acting as if nothing had happened."
"No way, Shisui-sensei is too nice, I'm giving her one minute." Danzo voiced his opinion.
Koharu shook her head, clinging to Koharu's arm whose eye brows was twitching violently. Homura could only shake his head in exasperation at his female's lovesick antics. "It's obvious that they like each other. I mean Tobirama-sensei would narrow his eyes whenever a guy stares at Shisui-sensei's behind."
Torifu nodded in agreement, munching on his chips, "I agree with Koharu-chan."
"Tobirama-sensei likes Shisui-sensei therefore they would forgive each other quickly." Homura stated quietly, pulling his glasses up.
The eight of them stared at Homura with freaked out expressions and scooted away from him. Homura was a very strange boy… Said boy sulked in loneliness, wondering why he was dubbed as the weirdo.
"Let's bet for it!" Danzo whispered loudly, "Hundred ryo's that Shisui-sensei would forgive Tobirama-sensei already."
Hiruzen shook his head, "I'll give them two minutes."
They started collecting money, betting higher or lower.
"Sooo…," Shisui trailed off, scooting closer to Tobirama who was eying her suspiciously, "Did you know you're a very strong, handsome shinobi?"
He scoffed at her, wondering what she was up to. Deciding to humor her, he raised his eye brow, "No, I didn't. Care to explain?"
Shisui giggled softly, "Well, your presence will scare away any sane shinobi and kunoichi alike, your beauty makes every women swoon as they dream about their knight in white armor and your strength makes every men boil in envy as they watch you create rivers with a puff of your breath."
Tobirama wondered if this was really how people thought of him. He found it weird to hear those things from Shisui's lips, coughing he decided to stop her obvious ranting, "Alright, what do you want?"
"Massage!"
And then he wished that he had never opened his mouth. He groaned loudly and face-palmed himself, "In the name of Kami, shut up about that damned massage."
She shook her head, her shoulder-length bangs whipping left to right, "Never!"
He was doomed to have an obsessed-massage-freak behind him every two seconds.
The Genin started collecting their money, some of them going home with more money than usual.
All the while Homura was still brooding in his corner, wondering what he had to do to be viewed as normal.
"Mito-chan, these new hot springs that Hashi-kun, aniki and Tobirama-kun have made are absolutely amazing." She sighed in bliss, closing her eyes.
The Uzumaki nodded, "The best idea you ever had to spend some time in here."
Noriko and Koharu were ogling Shisui's busty breasts with envy, something that every shinobi talked about, even Kagami himself. When they glanced at each other, they glared, sticking their tongues out.
"Where is Akhiko-kun?" Shisui asked with one opened eye.
Mito pointed to the other side of the hot springs and she giggled when she heard Akhiko's loud happy squeals and the splashing of water. "He is so adorable." Shisui squealed softly, turning around as she leaned her head on the marble floor, "You should have brought him here…"
"I want some peace and quiet. Hashirama-kun can take care of him." She blinked her eyes open and smirked in glee when she noticed Shisui's blissful features. Forget about peace and quiet, this would be better. Summoning up chakra, she spit out a large amount of cold, chilling water.
Tobirama blinked his eyes owlishly when he felt Mito summon up chakra, he wondered why that was necessary. Some seconds later, he heard Shisui's loud squeals, "Oh Kami, that's cold! Stop it! Mitooooo!"
He chuckled softly, shaking his head as he soaked in the bath, his brother perking up at that sound, "I wonder what they are doing?"
"Probably some water fight." Izuna joined them, little Akhiko on his shoulders.
"Hn." Madara grunted in annoyance, "I wish she could shut up. Those squeals are so loud and annoying."
Sasuke smirked perverted, wriggling his eye brows up and down, "Not for me."
"Tou-chan!" Hiruzen complained in embarrassment, hiding his face under the water because of his father's perverted actions. Danzo was laughing at his situation, clutching his stomach while Kagami and was glaring at Sasuke for degrading his sensei, his Sharingan spinning.
Everyone rolled their eyes at that, Madara and Izuna regarding Sasuke with a disgusted expression, "I don't even want to know what you're thinking about." Tobirama mumbled softly, placing the towel on top of his head as he sighed in relief.
"It's quiet." Homura stated the obvious and just like all the previous times, everyone stared at him and scooted away. He turned around, sulking and brooding in his corner.
"Tobirama-kun, save me!" Shisui cried out in distress. His eye brows twitched when everyone stared at him as if they actually expected him to storm there naked and save Shisui. He scowled at them, closing his eyes again but they fluttered open when Shisui screamed his name again. Having grown fed up with her screams, he slammed against the wall, "Stop screaming, woman!" and watched with growing horror as the wall literally crumpled under the force of his hit.
The first thing he heard were loud, horrified scream from the other side and then two loud shrieks from Madara and Izuna whom covered their eyes, shrieking, "Dear Kami, not again! It burns! Get them out!" Madara clawed his eyes out, along with Izuna who dropped Akhiko in the water. The small toddler had shouted at the sudden drop.
"Thank you Kami! I love you for this gift!" Blissful Sasuke cried in anime tears as he observed Shisui's half-naked body, her eyes wide and innocent but the scream that tore from her lips wasn't very nice, he just muted it. This was like a gift from heaven itself.
"Tou-chan, you're absolutely right!" Hiruzen shouted in equal happiness observing the beautiful mounds, smooth legs, as he, too, cried in anime tears. Normally, he hated his father when he acted like that but seeing and hearing were two totally different things. He had a sudden revelation!
Danzo smirked widely as he noticed Noriko and Koharu's naked selves, though his teacher looked much nicer so he ogled his sensei's beautiful body. He wasn't a pervert but he knew how to appreciate nature's beauty and his sensei sure was one of them. "Itai!" He growled out when Kagami had punched him on the face, "Stop ogling Shisui-sensei, you hentai!" Kagami was horrified at how everything had turned out like this. He viewed Shisui as his mother and to see her like that was pretty disturbing.
"Stop being such a prude, Kagami!" Danzo snapped back, leaping at Kagami.
Torifu sighed in defeat, wondering why he was always stuck with being a peace maker. "Guys!" When they kept fighting under all the ruckus, he used his clan's jutsu to enlarge his hands and grabbed them both in the air. Moments later, he heard two loud female screams, more precisely from Noriko and Koharu.
Kagami and Danzo yelped at the sudden coldness and hid their private jewels, cheeks a bright red, they turned their attention on Torifu who laughed sheepishly, "Gomen…"
When he released them he ran away from the two as they chased him, throwing him many profanities. "Sensei, help me!"
Homura was shivering in disgust, wishing he hadn't seen those huge things. Whipping back and forth in his corner, he could only mumble out in fear, "Why me…? Why me…?"
"Shisui-chan!" Hashirama shouted in horror, cheeks blushing fiercely, "Mito-chan!" Moving his hands in a quick speed, he summoned a wooden wall to hide the two from the whistling, ogling men, her brothers excluded.
And Tobirama could only twitch his eye brows as he closed his eyes with his cheeks blushing a cherry-red. He had seen too much of Shisui for one day, though he couldn't lie to himself and say that he didn't like it. A man would be labeled as blind and stupid if they didn't enjoy watching a beautiful woman like Shisui. But the thought that he had seen Mito's naked body too was disturbing him to no end. She was like a sister to him and to have seen so much of her was making him sick.
Today was supposed to be their day off but instead it was a downright disaster.
Shisui sighed softly, sitting on top of her brother's head as she observed the sleepy Konoha. The hot springs was the most awful experience Shisui had, out of nowhere the wall crumbled down and then she was viewed like some trophy. Rubbing her arms from the cold, she sighed tiredly.
"Here." A smooth, rich voice spoke up behind her and suddenly she was feeling warm.
She looked up and smiled tiredly at Tobirama who had offered his kimono, "Arigatou."
"How long are you here?" He asked with a frown, Shisui wasn't one to neglect her body, she would have brought a jacket.
She shrugged, "I don't know. After the hot springs?"
Tobirama blushed slightly when he remembered Shisui's voluptuous body and coughed softly to regain his composure, "I wanted to apologize for that."
"Huh?" She tilted her head in confusion, "Why?"
He took a deep breath, "I lost control of my emotions and destroyed the wall. I-I'm sorry." He looked away, his cheeks flaring up.
Shisui found him very cute and with a soft smile, she leaned towards him and kissed his cheeks, "Thank you."
Tobirama looked at her with wide eyes, his cheeks flaring up even more, this was the first time Shisui had kissed him. He smiled slightly at her, "It's no problem."
"You're cute when you blush like that. Did I mention that your eyes ma-" "Shisui?" She stopped talking and looked at him, "Yes?"
He chuckled softly, "Shut up and enjoy the moment."
She giggled softly and nodded, scooting closer to Tobirama, "Hai, hai, grumpy."
"Don't call me that."
She raised her eye brow, "Don't call you what?"
His eye brows twitched when she was feigning innocence, "You know what I mean."
"No, care to explain?"
He growled at her, "Shisui."
"That's my name!" She chirped happily, squealing when Tobirama pinched her arm. "Itai! Yo-" "Talk and you're dead."
She nodded quickly, zipping her lips and stared ahead of her. Peeking a glance at Tobirama, she thought him to be beautiful with his silver, glistening hair and then his blood-red eyes that pierced your very soul. "Can I help you?"
Shisui blushed when he noticed her staring at him and shook her head, "No." and looked down at Konoha, ignoring her wild-beating heart. "Nothing is wrong."
The two of them stayed like that, enjoying the peaceful night and each other's company.
