Chapter 23: Chunin Exam

"Lady Shisui!" One of the orphanage worked exclaimed in surprise, "What a pleasant surprise, are you here to help us?"

Shisui nodded with a warm smile, "Of course, Mimi-chan."

Said woman blushed when Shisui knew her name, she literally knew everyone's name from the orphanage, from the small babies till the grown-ups. "Kaori-chan kept asking about you, she even made you a drawing." Mimi spoke softly, her eyes flickering to the angelic-looking kunoichi, she would never know how such an innocent-looking woman could be that deadly.

"Oh she did? Let's go and surprise her and the rest. Are they currently in the classroom?" Shisui asked in wonder, the orphanage was located near the Hokages Tower since she didn't want anyone to take advantage of them like what had transpired with her future Danzo and ANBU Root. Shisui was one of the many generous people from Konoha that donated a lot of money to keep the children educated whether they wanted to become ninja from their village or wealthy merchants, it was up to them. No one would force them to become Konoha's ninja, they weren't that cruel.

They walked through the secured walls, taking turns into the different hallways and finally neared a giant door where the orphanage had built a small school inside. Smiling brightly, Shisui opened the door and saw many tables where children being educated from the ripe age of one till six where then they would choose between the Academy or the Civilian school, they would keep the children educated so they would have the same advantage like the clan children.

"Shisui-onii-chan!" All the small children shouted in happiness when they noticed her. The teachers stopped lecturing or scolding the orphans and smiled gently at the Uchiha princess who helped the orphanage a lot, sometimes even with the help of her Genin but right now they were training for the Chunin Exam.

Shisui squealed in happiness when all the small children ran towards her engulfing her in a giant mass of hugs, human limbs stretched everywhere. The workers shook their heads in amusement at her casual way as she laughed softly, her melodious voice cheering up all the children. "Today you'll be having a day off, which means no school!"

More shrieks of happiness echoed around the house and standing up, she picked a small two-year old boy, "Follow me and Suko-kun!" She led them outside to the giant park she had requested Hashirama to build solely for this purpose. The sun was blazing above them, another day where Konoha's warm temperature was smothering them. She, too, was wearing nothing more than a simple blue tank top with a black, loose short and her high-heeled sandals, to finish it up she fixed her hair in a high ponytail, her shoulder-length bangs framing her face.

She moved Suko gently on the ground and summoned ten more water clones to her aid. "Suko-kun, it's ti- Huh?" She looked with confusion as Tobirama appeared next to her. "Tobirama-kun!" She squealed in happiness, running towards him.

"I saw you from the office and decided to give you a visit since it's already two weeks that I haven't seen you." This was another fact, after their joint-training Shisui had taken her students out for camping to train them on survival alone, she had taught them many small, less chakra-using jutsu outside the city life. Ever since then she hadn't seen Tobirama, much to her dismay. She really missed him…

Her eyes sparkled and she wrapped her arms around him, "I missed you too, grumpy!"

His eye brow twitched at that nickname but composing himself, he awkwardly returned the hug, he did miss her company. When Shisui released him, she looked at him, a wide smile blossoming on her face, "Do you want to stick with me?"

"My Genin are training their body strength anyway so I'm not really needed." He looked around himself and noted all the small children who were looking at the two of them with awe and admiration, whispers from Senju and the water master going back and forth. He knew Shisui liked to spend her time with orphans, it was a noble trait to have, not many would care about the lives of children who had lost their parents due to the warring clans. Shisui had demanded from Hashirama and Madara to accept any orphan who didn't look suspicious, obviously, and to place them in the orphanage so they could have a nice life. She really loved children. "What do you want me to do?"

Shisui giggled softly and looked at the waiting children and her water clones, "Water fight!" and her clones started spraying water at the shrieking children who were running away from her clones. Without his consent Shisui had used Tobirama as a shield from the spraying water.

"Shisui."

She gulped, taking fearful steps backwards when she looked at a soaked Tobirama, "Y-Yes, Tobi-kun?"

"Run." He warned her as he summoned the smaller and weaker version of his water dragon. He smirked smugly when she didn't run away on time and got splashed with water, her clothes drenched like his. How he loved those surprised squeals coming from her mouth.

With a challenging smirk, Shisui performed another set of seals, materializing water out of thin air and creating a water vortex that spun towards him. He flipped over it but to his surprise, a water whip appeared out of the vortex and pulled him inside, drenching him even more. He frowned at his heavy kimono and ditched it, revealing him in his half-naked glory.

Shisui couldn't help but blush at how muscled and chiseled he looked beneath his fashion less clothes. Swallowing quietly, she reveled in the fact that her clothes weren't heavy only clinging to her body…

"Hmm… that attack was very sneaky, Shisui." Tobirama mused, walking up to her.

She eyed him warily and wondered if he would do anything. "Thank y- Tobirama!" She shrieked when she felt cold, chilling water from behind her, turning around she saw none other than a clone who had hidden the chakra levels to non-existent, something that only he was very good at, and then it dispersed in a splash of more water, sprinkling the squealing children. Her eyes narrowed and she flickered behind him, turning his arm upwards, hitting the back of his knees as he stumbled on the ground from the sudden move. She straddled him as he laid there, kissing the ground. "What are you goi-" She squeaked in embarrassment when Tobirama turned the tables around and pinned her on the ground, his legs keeping her locked in place.

His lips tugged into his sexy crooked smirk, "You said?"

She pouted at that, "Not fair."

"Shisui, don't be a sore loser." He held her in place with one hand while he used the other one to brush away her black strands that were sticking against her cheek.


"I'll kill him for touching her like that!" Madara screeched in annoyance, rolling his sleeves up as his narrowed eyes were gazing through the window.

Hashirama glanced at his wife who had helped him with his annoying paperwork, little Akhiko being babysit by Izuna. They stood up in one smooth move and to their shock and disbelief, Tobirama was straddling Shisui, very close. Mito squealed in happiness and excitement, "Finally!"

Her big wide eyes sucked up the romantic scene, "Hashi-kun! Look, Tobirama-kun is finally making his first move."

Meanwhile Hashirama was in a conflict with himself, that was the woman he loved with his entire heart. Flickering his eyes towards Mito, he felt so despicable, guilty and disgusting, she loved him so much and after all those years, he still couldn't keep Shisui out his head. He knew she was starting to accept the fact that they would never be together but it hurts so much. He couldn't simply erase his love for her but then he felt guilty towards Mito who tried her utmost best to please him in every way.

He knew his little brother and Shisui were slowly on growing closer, he would be blind not to notice that. He rubbed his temples, feeling another migraine pop up his head. Tobirama had discussed this with him and back then Hashirama gave him his permission to court Shisui if he ever felt feelings for the black-haired beauty but saying things and seeing things right in front of your goddamn eyes was easier said than done. Still, after knowing all those things, he couldn't forbid Shisui to love someone else, he couldn't take that away from her, he knew how much she loved to start a family and have children. He didn't even have the heart to tell this to Tobirama, he loved his brother too much.

They deserved each other.

Glancing at his wife, he smiled gently, he was lucky to have a woman like her.

"I'll kill him!" Madara shouted, moving to the window and ready to burst through it.

Mito gasped in horror, "Hashi-kun! Stop him! We can't let him ruin that beautiful moment!"

Hashirama moved his hands in supreme speed, and mixing it with his special chakra, he tied the unsuspecting Madara who started trashing and screaming many profanities towards him. Good thing Akhiko wasn't here, he wouldn't want his son to learn such foul words.


Shisui's eyes widened at that, stuttering, "T-Tobi-kun…?"

"Hmm…?" He hummed quietly, his eyes never straying away from hers, he quite enjoyed the way that her cheeks flushed, she looked, to word it differently, appetizing. His eyes flickered down to her busty breasts and noticed that her nipples were erected from their close proximity where he could feel her hot breath tickle his cheeks. Fighting against his blush, he quickly stood up in one smooth move, stretching his hand out to her while she looked at him with wide eyes, "Are you going to take it?"

She squealed and accepted his hand, pulling herself up. But to his annoyance, she pushed herself up too fast, which ended in him being tackled by her, her legs straddling him. He groaned at the sudden weight that was placed on top of him, Shisui may look light but she wasn't. Why was he doomed to end like this? His eyes moved back to Shisui's wide ones and it felt as if time stopped for them. Her hair tie fell on the ground, covering them from any prying eyes, water dripping down on his face. As if his body was moving on its accord, his hand moved to her cheek, stroking it gently. Her lips parted in slight shock, eyes still trying to figure him out, and then just like that, the weird sensation stopped and he blinked his eyes.

"I apologize for that." He waited till Shisui stood up and helped him, his cheeks a faint red.

She waved her hands, her cheeks still burning with a fever, "I-It's quite alright, no need to apologize."

Awkwardly, they stood there, in the background children were still screaming in delight when water was sprayed at them.

Shisui coughed slightly, "Yeah…"

"Yeah…" He answered, feeling so weird.

Another awkward moment passed them and they still didn't look each other in the eyes.

Finally after another silent minute, Shisui was fed up, "So, you want to return to our game?"

"Sure why not." He answered gratefully, happy that those awkward moments were gone.


Up there from the Hokage Tower was a trashing and shrieking Madara who had seen everything from the window. But to his shock and irritation Hashirama had used his wood release to keep him locked in place and he watched with amusement how Mito was openly laughing at his best friend's situation.

"Hashi-kun, really, you're amazing!" Mito cooed, wrapping her arms around her husband.

Said Senju grinned widely, snaking his arms around Mito, "You know what Madara hates even more?"

"Huh? What?" Mito asked confused but then she squealed when Hashirama scooped her up in a gentle hug, his hand cupping her cheek as he slowly moved his lips towards hers. She blushed fiercely but didn't look away, their lips locked and she couldn't suppress the moan that escaped her lips as Hashirama's gentle fingers stroked her back.

Madara was screamed and trying to get out but somehow Hashirama had mixed his wood with chakra-resilient ropes. As if that wasn't enough, he couldn't get Tobirama off his pure sister and was doomed to watch Hashirama kiss Mito in front of him. So he did the most logical thing in the world, he hit himself hard on the ground so he could faint and hope that he would remember this traumatizing event.

The two stopped their make-out session and stared with wide eyes and flushed cheeks at the unconscious Madara. Their eyes locked and both of them erupted into laughter.


Shisui hummed happily, waving to the librarian as she passed him. She was looking for something easy for Akhiko to do with chakra so he could occupy himself with those harmful exercises instead of the tree-walking or water-walking. When she passed the sections of the dummies, she stopped on her track, rubbing her eyes as she observed the engrossed Genin who was reading many books in a very fast pace.

"Homura-kun?" She asked in confusion, walking towards him.

The boy with the glasses yelped at his sudden name and looked up, "Shisui-sensei!" He spoke with wide eyes and red cheeks.

"What are you reading?" She asked curiously but the boy quickly covered the stacks of books with his body, stuttering, "N-Nothing special, sensei…"

Raising her eye brows, she poked his side, he only writhed away from her but she kept poking him, in the hopes that he would stop acting like a child. "Homura-kun, I'm not going to laugh at your face, show me what you're reading and maybe I can help you."

Poke. Poke. And another poke.

Homura eyed her suspiciously for a second until he finally relented, Shisui-sensei was a very nice woman, she wouldn't make fun of him. With a sigh, he lifted his boy and handed her one of the books that he was currently reading.

"How to be normal for dummies." Shisui read out loud, her eyes flickering to the embarrassed boy and then back to the book. "Err… why are you reading this book?" She was so hard trying not to make fun of him, really, she was in no way a bully but this… She coughed softly to hide her laughter, good thing that Homura didn't notice it.

Tobirama's student narrowed his eyes, "I'm sick and tired to be viewed as the weirdo, I want to know how normal people act." He looked at the gorgeous woman, and secretly his sensei's love, "Can you help me to become normal?"

"Err…" She was hopeless in this situation, especially when Homura was looking at her like that. Sighing in defeat, she nodded, "Alright, let's start going over those books." What else could she say? She wasn't even a normal person to begin with.


By the time they skipped through the many books and Shisui had found some very interesting things about the human's body, along with detecting lies, something that was starting to interest her. For now she would wait till she would start another one of her experiments, she was already busy enough with the hospital, her Genin and the upcoming Chunin Exam, her greenhouse where she was trying to find a cure for cancer and her other research concerning the blindness of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

So many things to do and so less time.

"Sensei, I apologize that I troubled you with my personal matter." Homura spoke shyly, he was right, she really was the nicest person he had ever met.

Shisui shook her head, "No trouble, kiddo, I loved to help you out. Why don't you go home and I'll place these books in their right place."

"But se-" "Homura-kun, it's fine, go home, it's getting late and your parents must be getting worried." She cut him off with a gentle smile, ruffling his hair, "Go."

He nodded and left hesitantly, occasionally glancing behind him but Shisui was already busying herself with the books. When Shisui came back from stacking another pile in their respective shelves, she squealed in surprise when Tobirama was standing there, holding one of the books that Homura and she were reading at the beginning.

He smirked at her and her heart started bonking loudly from just a mere glance, "So… care to explain why you're reading this?"

Her cheeks flamed and she stuttered in embarrassment, "Euh, it's not w-what it looks l-like!"

"Really?" He looked at the title from the book, reading it out loud, "How to be normal for dummies?"

She groaned and face-palmed herself, "That was for Homura-kun, I was helping him to be normal."

"Shisui, it's alright, you don't have to lie, I understand that you, too, want to be viewed as normal." Tobirama was just messing with her, he had seen the two busy themselves with all these books but it was just too good to let it go. Teasing Shisui was one of his hobbies.

She puffed her cheeks in defiance, "I'm not lying. I mean this."

"Shisui, Shisui," He shook his head, walking up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, "You don't need to feel embarrassed by it. Everyone has their weak points, in your case it's your abnormality."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" She half-whispered half-shouted towards him, Tobirama was such a mean person at times.

He leaned against the table, clicking his tongue, "I mean, that you long to be seen as a normal person."

She dropped her head gloomily, "B-But I'm normal."

He chuckled softly, pulling her chin up as he looked into her onyx black orbs, "It's alright, I like you just the way you are." With that he placed the book on the table and left the blushing wide-eyed Shisui who was holding her heart, wondering if Tobirama somehow confessed to her.


Kagami, Danzo and Torifu were standing in front of the Academy where Genin from the Mist and Sand were already present, their teacher standing in front of them with a proud expression on her face. "The three of you have grown up so fast, too fast." She sniffed softly, pulling the three towards her in a suffocating hug.

"Shisui-sensei! You're embarrassing us!" Danzo complained halfheartedly though deep down he loved the attention he received from his sensei.

Torifu didn't care about hugs, he loved them, and he returned the hug. As for Kagami, he was leaning his head on her shoulder, wondering if this was what motherly love felt like. When she pulled back, he felt the coldness invade him, although the sun was blazing once again.

"Alright, I can't tell you what will happen but remember, a ninja always-" "Looks underneath the underneath." The three of them finished as they glanced at each other, excitement written all over their face. Shisui nodded again, rubbing her eyes as tears were bursting to fall down. "No matter what you three end up like, be it Genin or Chunin, you will stay my students no matter what everyone else says. I'm proud to have such caring, loyal and strong students."

Torifu sniffed softly, looking at his teacher with glassy eyes, "Sensei!" he hugged her again and they both sniffed pathetically, many people watching them with disgust, amusement and disbelief.

"Torifu-kun!" Shisui sobbed loudly.

Danzo and Kagami face-palmed, wondering for the umpteenth time that day why their sensei was so weird. A yelp left their lips when Shisui had once again scooped them a hug, their faces being squished down by her enormous boobs. While Danzo loved those soft pillows, Kagami was not. He felt so embarrassed that his hormones were raging wildly, this was his mother figure for Kami's sake!

"Imouto, that's enough, you're killing your students," came Izuna's amused voice from behind them, his Genin team trotting behind him.

Shisui released her students and turned around, her face bright, "Izuna-nii! Her eyes noticed another Jounin teacher with his own set of Genin, "Tobirama-kun!"

Many people were by now looking in awe and admiration at the three legendary ninja's from Konoha and the most trusted people from the Hokages.

"Shisui." Tobirama nodded with a small smile on his lips. "And Izuna."

Izuna smirked at his friend and little sister, "So I'm pretty confident that my team will become Chunin."

"Is that a challenge, Uchiha?" Tobirama replied, the same challenging smirk plastered on his lips.

"It is, Senju." The said Uchiha answered.

Shisui looked at her team and then back the other two, "I'm pretty sure that my team will beat everyone!"

Kagami tried to ignore Koharu and Noriko's obvious ogling as he stated, "Team Eight will blow you all away." His eye brows twitched when his two fan girls were cheering him on, "Go Kagami-kun!"

Danzo nodded eagerly, standing next to his sensei with a confident grin, "You bet we will, sensei!"

"See!" Shisui motioned towards her students and sweat dropped when Torifu was munching on his chips, "Torifu-kun! You're supposed to join us…" She wailed falsely, hiding her eyes with her arms.

"Sensei! I'm sorry, don't cry!" He hid the chips away in frantic moves as his sensei was secretly laughing, Torifu was too gentle at times. "What my team said." He spoke half-confidently half-shy as he scooted closer to his sensei.

"Oh Torifu-kun, you're too cute." Shisui spoke fondly, ruffling his hair as the boy smiled softly at her, his cheeks blushing. "Arigatou, sensei."


Senju Sato smirked at Uchiha Kagami, "We'll show you what true power is."

"Obviously, you haven't seen our strength. We have been training cruelly for the past months." Kagami answered, even confident.

"Yeah, don't cry when we destroy you guys with our awesome new powers!" Danzo joined their discussion, crossing his arms. Kagami's eyes flickered to his teammate and high-fived him.

Torifu nodded in agreement, secretly stuffing chips in his mouth for fear that his sensei would cry again. He didn't like to see her hurt, he loved her too much for that.

Hiruzen smirked widely, "You're so on, Danzo! I bet we could reach Chunin spot before you!"

"We're being taught by Senju Tobirama, it's obvious who is going to win." Homura stated confidently.

Everyone stared at Homura in shock, "Wow, Homura, lately you act so normal…" Hiruzen whispered in confusion, "That's good!" Unbeknownst to them, Homura had studied many books to reach this far. He was glad he wasn't dubbed as the weirdo whenever he spoke.

"Go Kagami-kun! I believe in you!" Kagami's two fan girls screeched loudly, bumping harshly against the other. "Go away, stupid Uchiha." Koharu insulted Shisui's original mother.

Noriko glared viciously at her, Sharingan spinning, "Why don't you drop dead, Utatane freak."

"Will the two of you shut up! I've had enough of hearing your complains!" Hatake Kata scoffed at them with a dirty glare, hoping to erase their existence from this planet. He groaned when the two turned their attention on him, their eyes gleaming red, "What? Can't take the truth?" He scowled at them, keeping firm in place when they cracked their knuckles, other males scooting away from him. He wasn't going afraid of two harpies, "You want a fight? I'll giv-Izuna-sensei?" His eyes widened when he lifted in the air, along with his female member.

"What did I say about fighting, you two?" His eyes were disappointed with them.

"No to.." Noriko muttered softly.

Kata grunted in annoyance and slight shame. He hated fan girls, although they were strong ones. Women. "Hn."

Koharu was also pulled up, "What did I say about fangirling?" Tobirama narrowed his eyes at her, wondering why females were so weird.

"But se-" "No buts. This is the last time I'm telling you this. Understood?"

Said student sulked but nodded anyway, "Understood."

"Tobi-kun, no need to be that harsh towards her, she is still a child." Shisui said softly and Koharu had to grin widely when Tobirama sighed softly, "You're right, maybe I was a bit harsh on her." He was so whipped.

"That's much better, now Team Seven, Team Eight and Team Nine! Go kick some butt!" Shisui cheered them on as all the nine students walked towards the Academy's entrance with a proud expression on their face. "I'll be making dango for the ones that had won!"

When that word left her lips, the Genin hurried up, glancing at each with narrowed eyes, they had found another goal that would force them to become Chunin at all cost. Shisui's cooking skills was absolutely vivaciously delightful, the aroma, the smell, the form, perfect, all in all. And they would do everything in their power to achieve that, err, along with the Chunin title, of course.


"Shall we go, boys?" Shisui offered them her arms and with their respective smirks, they accepted it. This would become very interesting.
