The last bit has Shisui fixing his gaze on Obito, almost in warning. "Don't take it personally." It's not you, he wanted to say.

But there was another moment of silence as Shisui brought his mug up to his lips to sip on his so-called diabetes-inducing tea. "One has to ask who stands to gain from this." Konoha had many enemies, he knew, despite the friendly faces they all put on during every diplomatic meeting.

He lifts his gaze up to the Hokage once more. "And... the council? How are they taking this?" It was here that Shisui worried. As much as he didn't want to let doubt encroach this seemingly happy time and ruin it for him, he couldn't shake off the feeling that people were still not content. What if it was just a plot to overthrow the only Uchiha who'd not only been selected for, but also allowed to be Hokage? Unspoken words wrote themselves all over his expression, though.
