Oh no, not again |:

[shunshinoshishi]

Who: Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Obito
When: Sometime after Kakashi's birthday and recent events, late September-ish?
Where: Shisui's place. For a change >_> If Obito shows up...
Summary: ....Shisui wants to talk. Again.

He'd left Obito a message earlier, asking him if it would be alright to meet up later that night. He'd also specified a time: 7:00PM, which is about three hours earlier than he expects Obito to show up. At least 7:00PM would guarantee him a visit before midnight? (Such is Shisui's logic when it comes to scheduling around Obito-time~) Regardless of how late he expected the Hokage to show up, Shisui had also put together a quick dinner.

Perhaps they'd both be in better spirits over a full stomach when they went into discussion mode this time? Because Shisui had a few things to talk to Obito about. And update him on other things.

...This dinner probably was also an attempt to apologize for how last time's meeting had gone. Nothing too fancy, though. Shisui couldn't cook fancy.

"It's not impossible. I've considered it even. It just reinforces the idea that someone is on the inside feeding people to the outside. We've lost more shinobi this year than the years combined before that with me as Hokage."

[shunshinoshishi]

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.

"I think it has to do with people outside the village. The council... they're uneasy and Sarutobi-sama is... placating them while I deal with things. I'm not sure he's doing the best job ever, but Sensei has been dealing with some of it too which is why he's been so busy these days. I'm dealing with the village while those two deal with the people who would much it up even worse, you know? If I could just find the sore that's the problem we'd be in good shape."

[shunshinoshishi]

"When are they never uneasy?" Have a smile. "The sore is usually somebody who's pretty jealous of how things are going here. Seemingly perfect." Seemingly; he'd be an idiot to claim that it was. "But are you certain that it is only people from outside the village?"

He's standing in a moment, and pacing over to the window, peering out through the blinds just to make sure no one was nearby. Not that he'd turned off the ability to sense-- but this was Shisui, overly cautious.

"I've been working on that assignment you gave me a while back."

[thebestuchiha]

"Have you? What have you put together?" He didn't address the first questions just yet, trying to work out exactly how to answer. He was sure it was an outside issue... but that didn't mean it didn't have an inside factor.
