I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, I'm just a fan I enjoyed the anime but I love the fanfics, even more, they made me fall for the whole franchise. Whether I will have Oc's in the fic or not depends entirely on how the story goes.
Chapter 14
Shisui Uchiha, it has been 6 years since the start of this investigation and I have not received a single name." Shisui gulped as he listened to his superior officer, one Fugaku Uchiha.
"The many leads you have brought to us all went cold faster than a hyoton user casts its Jutsu." Shisui was sweating now Fugaku was trying to lighten the mood with a joke it meant shit was about to go down.
"I'm afraid I have to give you some incentive to motivate you." Shisui knew it he fucking knew it. What could it possibly be? A demotion, a meeting with the Uchiha elders.
'Ohh please anything but that, anything but those old fools.' Shisui began wondering how those people had not dropped yet, kicked the bucket, and reached their life expectancy.
"You have until after the chunin exams to bring me concrete information about this organization or you are off the case." Fugaku warned and Shisui sighed. "Also the elders have arranged to talk to you tonight." Fugaku added with a smile.
"Aggghh!!! I knew it." Shisui cried in despair.
Shisui found himself walking down the streets of Konoha after a few more minutes of warnings from Fugaku-Sama and a promise from him that he would not run from the meeting with the elders.
'6 years and not a thing to show for it, what have I been doing all this time? What have my team and I been accomplishing in this half-a-decade investigation.' Shisui couldn't help but wonder as he made his way toward the red-light district.
Along the way, he watched as the people of Konoha mingled and went about their business with no care in the world.
'Actually, I would not know that, since I can't read minds, they all have their problems, that is why they go asking shady people for help.' Shisui scolded himself for thinking he was the only person with problems.
"It would be funny if I went to this 'Nara' and asked for help to catch him." Shisui's snickered only for his eyes to widen in realization when that thought escaped his lips.
"That's it!" Shisui exclaimed in realization as he ran full speed to reach his base of operations.
Kicking the door off its hinges he ran to where he knew his team would be and kicked that door off its hinges as well as he screamed.
"I know how to get the Nara we can...!!!" Shisui's words went silent as he gapped at what was in front of him. Itachi had his back against the wall looking red with wide eyes looking over at Shisui and in front of him with her hands on both sides of him blocking his escape was Izumi with her flake jacket zipped down a little showing off her cleavage to the man she too was looking over at Shisui wide-eyed.
"Excuse me," Shusui said as he looked at them wide-eyed before walking out the door he tried multiple times to close it behind him without looking but never seemed to find the handle so after a few more hopeless attempts he just quickly left the vicinity.
"Awkward..." he heard someone drawl to his left and found another member of the Uchiha clan and its police force who also happened to be working on the case with Shisui snicker.
"Rash, d-did you know w-what was happening there?" Shisui asked Ragul Uchiha. Ragul is an Uchiha in his mid twenties has black hair that is cut short in an army style, he has a little scar running down his left brow that he never shuts up about saying how he was just a genin and took on a jonin when he got it, everybody knew he exaggerated the story since his genin team could tell you differently.
He is 5 foot 8 with broad shoulders he wears a purple vest under his chunin flak jacket. He wears a vest because he enjoys flexing his 'guns' around whenever a pretty girl was within his range of sight. He wore purple shorts and that's because he never skips leg day saying tighs were the sexiest part of the male body and he had to be revealed at all times due to the fact it would be a crime to all women out there who seem to give him a wide breadth.
"Stop calling me Rash!" The man shouted angrily at his superior, Shisui just shrugged and repeated what everybody else told Rugal.
"I'll stop when you stop scratching yourself like you got a rash," Rugal growled at Shisui's words
"I do have a rash you fool!" He started and Shisui laughed at the man completely forgetting what transpired earlier.
"Shisui senpai." Shisui's laugh abruptly stopped as he turned to the nervous voice addressing him, to find Izumi Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha standing there looking at him like little school kids who got caught making out in the toilet.
They all looked at each other awkwardly with Rugal in the background finding the awkwardness amusing as he scratched his itching bicep.
"My team is probably expecting me for morning missions," Itachi said quickly before disappearing in a swirl of leaves, Izumi reached out for him but he was gone already.
'Damn you Itachi!' Izumi thought in betrayal and anger at her...she didn't even know what to address the thing they had going. She was the one making all the moves, while he stood there taking it like a lost puppy.
"Awkward..." Rugal whispered not so quietly and Izumi blushed in embarrassment, while Shisui cracked a smile.
"Naughty naughty..." Shisui teased and Izumi cursed Itachi's name a thousand times. She wanted to bury herself 100 feet underground and never show her face again.
After some teasing 101 In which Shisui and Rugal poked fun at Izumi, Shisui promised the girl she didn't have to worry because Itachi would hear from him too and what she received would look like a warm-up. Shisui didn't mention to Izumi that he was gonna bring the topic up during a dinner with the teen's family.
'Nothing personal Itachi, but this is the only way I can avenge myself for what your father did.' Shisui thought with a mental evil laugh. He wished he had Naruto's guts then he would have done something more public.
"Where is Dan?" Shisui questioned Rugal who shrugged.
"He was called over to headquarters." Izumi answered not even able to face Shisui.
"Forget about him for now, Rugal and Izumi you guys will bring him up to date whenever he shows up." He instructed his underlings who nodded in understanding.
"I have an idea to finally catch the slippery Nara." Shisui said but was interrupted by Izumi.
"There is no evidence pointing to him/her being a Nara Shisui-Kun." She reminded her superior and Shisui stared at her with a look making her uncomfortable. "Sir." She eventually added and Shisui grinned.
"I know, we haven't proven he is a Nara and the Nara clan is adamant it wasn't one of their own. Fugaku-Sama and Hokage-Sama are of the same mindset saying the individual is too motivated and hard-working to be a Nara." Shisui explained rubbing his nose as he spoke.
"So why do you keep referring to 'him' as a Nara." Rugal asked but putting emphasis on 'him' while looking at Izumi challengingly too which the girl responded with a glare, Shisui paid them no mind his been with them now for the last 6 years usually he was on the other side of those arguments anyway.
"Look let's just forget about that for a second, actually no for the rest of the investigation until we figure out his or her true identity," Shisui said staring both Izumi and Rugal down.
"Fine, fine. You said something about a plan." Rugal raised his hands in surrender before changing subjects.
"Yes, I did…." Shisui paused building up suspense as he held up a finger and kept switching between staring Izumi or Rugal in the eyes.
"Will you spit it out already!!" Izumi shouted in anger and Shisui jumped a little involuntarily screaming out the plan.
"We go undercover as potential clients.!!" Shisui said and Izumi huffed in anger while Rugal smirked scratching his hair with dandruff flying out where he scratched.
"An undercover operation." Shisui repeated with a cough in his hand while the other hand pulled on his collar with a finger.
With that out of the way the 3 members of 'The Shisuis', you can guess who named the squad worked out how they would go about the undercover operation and how they would bring about the end of the crime lord.

"Where were you?" Hinata heard Susuke ask their sensei with anger.
"I was running an errand." Itachi replied evenly and Sasuke glared at him.
"Why do we keep getting these useless chores you call missions?" Sasuke demanded, Hinata couldn't say she hated it she got to spend time with Naruto, sometimes the mission was stuff they both enjoyed like gardening.
"Yeah man, for once I agree with Duncan Mac duckass over here, where is the danger I kept hearing about in the academy?" Naruto came forward as well to protest, well Hinata did say sometimes, but the rest of the time it seemed like Naruto and Sasuke were bonding by the fact they both hated doing D-rank missions.
"Relax Naruto-Kun, Sasuke-Kun you will get your C-rank mission." Itachi told the two boys in a calm voice.
"When?!" They both asked at the same time, then realized what just happened looked at each other, and shivered.
"You see what you did? these missions are making me and Duncan……wait is that lipstick on your neck?" Hinata looked over at Naruto's voice with shock in her eyes.
"Lipstick on Itachi sensei?" She asked to be in the clear.
"This motherfucker!" Naruto threw his hands up in disbelief. "while we chase cats, paint fences, and watch chickens, this bastard is getting it on with some chick." Naruto cussed and Itachi looked away with a blush.
"Don't swear at my brother dobe!" Sasuke intervened glaring at Naruto and Naruto snorted.
"Fuck that, come Hinata let's go to Ichiraku's we finished our mission anyway." Naruto said grabbing Hinata's hand and beginning to walk away. "Bloody Uhcihas, worse I haven't seen Ino in 2 weeks and this guy, this guy is getting it on. Errands my Ass." Naruto continued ranting Hinata just turned around and waved the siblings goodbye.
"Your errands involved Izumi didn't they?" Sasuke questioned and Itachi felt like a tool, this was not his day first Shisui and now his genin team.
"She came to say hi." Itachi tried and Sasuke's skeptical look was all the proof Itachi needed that he didn't buy it.
"Right……" Sasuke drawled out still looking at Itachi with skepticism.
Itachi wanted to wipe the lipstick stain from his neck but was too embarrassed to do it with Sasuke looking at him like that.
"You keeping it there for a reason?" Sasuke asked confused as to why Itachi didn't wipe it off yet.
Itachi seeing that Sasuke was expecting an answer slowly placed the back of his hand in the area and began wiping it. Sasuke never removed his eyes from Itachi and Itachi was crying inside cursing Izumi for putting him in this position.
"Is it uhm gone?" Itachi asked Sasuke and his little brother shook his head in the negative
"No, it's just spread around your neck and hand now I think you should just wait till we get home so you can wash it off." Sasuke did try to not make this any more awkward for his brother but the situation just couldn't not be awkward.
Further away Naruto and Hinata were walking down the streets of Konoha making their way toward Ichiraku's. With Naruto grumbling about Uchihas and their fucked up minds, 'cockblocking' a person while they got down and dirty leaving the 'cockblocked' man to watch over chickens.
"Why do you hate the Uchiha so much Naruto-Kun?" Hinata wondered out loud and Naruto stopped in his tracks as he turned to Hinata.
"The way you talk and act around them, it's like they are all your enemies." Hinata said matter of fact looking at him for an explanation.
"I don't hate them Hinata-Hime, It's complicated." Naruto told her and she looked down in sadness.
"Ohh, okay then." She replied slowly before raising her head and smiling up at him, the smile did more damage to him than the sadness she showed to him from his answer, she must have gathered he didn't want to tell her the reason behind his dislike of the Uchiha clan.
But the smile that did not reach her eyes was a way for her to comfort him to say it was okay he didn't have to tell her, he felt bad, horrible even. Hinata was his best friend and he would do anything for her just like she would do anything for him.
He knew all her secrets and yet she didn't know all of his. She trusted him with everything and yet he did not reciprocate that trust but she still accepted him.
"Let's forget Ichiraku's." Naruto said with a smile he knew the girl couldn't see, he made the cross seal and in a puff of smoke, a clone appeared which he handed his wallet.
"Go to Ichiraku's and buy some ramen then go to Hinata's favorite bakery and buy cinnamon rolls. A lot of cinnamon rolls." He told the clone who nodded seriously and dashed off to complete his errands.
"Where are we going Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asked the blonde who grabbed her hand in his.
"Get on my back, Hime." Naruto instructed seriously and Hinata though confused did do as told before feeling Naruto stand up straight with his hands under her thighs.
"We are going where it all began." Naruto replied in a somber tone that had a hint of sadness and anger in it. Hinata hearing and 'feeling' the raw well hidden emotions in Naruto's words wrapped her arms around his neck a little harder and snuggled a little closer to him with her nose touching his neck.
Naruto chuckled a little at the show of affection and the warm breath tickling his neck before taking off on the rooftops heading to an unknown location.
