Land of waves

" You are so youthful Shin! "

" Guy sensei thank you! "

Tenten was sitting with her head down, they were like this for a while now, but she didn't have the energy to complain.

' Shin wore it, he wore that abominable dress, I knew I should have burned it. '

She looked at Neji who had given up and was practicing his gentle fist to the side, Neji don't care.

Sigh.

' But it's not all that bad, this really suits Shin, I guess he can make anything work huh.. '

Tenten wasn't very happy with his choice of attire because of Guy spoiling it for her, but Shin was making it work, she will get used to it, then she will ignore Guy and Lee as a bad dream.

" Guy sensei! "

" Shin! "

" " Youth! " "

Nerves were popping up on her forehead as Tenten had just about enough.

" Shut it both of you! It's been 15 minutes! "

Waking up from their youthful encounter, Guy looked up as he laughed loudly

" Tenten join us! This is the power of youth! I have just the thing for you! "

Taking out a green jumpsuit, made specifically for girls, Guy shook it before her.

Tenten directly ignored Guy as she said dryly.

" I would rather die. "

As if turned into a rock, Guy fell down with depression clouds forming around his head.

Shin was meanwhile back at the bench and sitting besides Tenten, he was done playing around with Guy, it always helped him relax.

A deeper bond would also make sure Guy doesn't go crimson beast on him.

But Shin wasn't interested in waiting too long for Guy to recover, so he asked in an inquisitive tone.

" Guy sensei, I heard we have a mission? "

Guy quickly got back up as he regained his energy.

" Yes! Shin, it's a mission to the land of waves, but are you really sure you want to continue with this team? You are a Jonin now. "

Guy asked slightly seriously, he wouldn't have his team members sacrifice their duties for the sake of staying together.

Shin nodded to that, team Guy was a good place to be, even in canon, Neji who had become a Jonin in part two decided to stick with the team, why won't Shin.

" Excellent! "

Guy happily exclaimed, this was something their entire team was worried about, Guy was also giving him extra attention today because of his promotion.

" Thank you Shin! "

Tenten hugged Shin right away, she really liked doing that, and this time around she had a damn good reason to do so.

He had kept his promise to her and stayed together as a team, he really had high hopes for her, she will not falter either, if she did, how can she prove herself capable enough to be his wife!

Neji too gave a nod to Shin, he didn't care, wherever Shin would go, he would go, if his fate was to always protect someone, he would protect Shin.

Hinata was going to get together with Shin anyway, he will just say he is protecting her as well when time comes, who's going to question him, he has the Uchiha clan leader at his back.

Shin didn't know that people were misinterpreting his desire to stay left and right as he was currently looking at the mission.

" Land of waves? Bridge builder..? So that's how it is. "

Shin murmered, he understood the plans Hoakge had made to kill him.

But this was good, in fact it was great, now that he has made sure he is a legitimate clan leader, they at least can't send root or anbu to hunt him down.

' This should have been one of the preset plans until I broke it. But here's the thing, they didn't remove this mission either, they are still hoping I die before the demon of the Mist. '

Shin had a choice before him now, he could decline the mission invite and go his merry way or act oblivious and go for it.

The first way would make sure he was 100% safe, but the second had much better scope for him to act around.

" Alright Guy sensei, let's take the mission. "

Passing it onto Tenten who was yet to leave him, Shin was thinking about the risks associated with this.

' They can't possibly send any anbu or root to support Zabuza, can't finish us off after our fight either, now that I am a clan leader, they will not take the risk of any one of us escaping and the news of clan leader assassination spreading. '

A regular Ninja like Shisui can be assassinated, it would create problems but not many, but a clan leader cannot be assassinated, that would cause Havoc.

" Yeah this seems okay. "

Tenten nodded as well, agreeing to the mission as she threw the scroll to Neji who caught it and started reading the thing.

' We will have to face only Zabuza and Haku, if I play my cards right, I might be able to convince them to work for me, at least Haku should be possible, I hope, if not let's see if I can get Itachi's whereabouts, need to leave the village for this anyway. '

Shin had decided, this was good enough for him, the risk they had created was not a risk for him at all, so he will use it to his advantage.

Might as well give them a reality check, let them understand not every Mangekyou owner is as careless a Shisui.
