The Non-Tsunade Granny

Shisui and Sasuke Were Sparring and Shisui Was Using His Rinnegan and Sage Transformation to Beat Sasuke Back. Jūgo, Tayuya, Karin and Suigetsu Were Observing. "Why Are We Following Sasuke? I Mean Shisui's Clearly Far Stronger, Right?" Asks Suigetsu. "It's Because of What They Are After." Says Tayuya Silently. "What Do You Mean? They both Want Itachi Dead Right?" Asks Jūgo. "Sasuke Does, But Shisui Wants Itachi To Face Justice for What He Did. Shisui Will Never Truly be One of Us, and He Knows it, But He Follows Sasuke because he is his Last Surviving Kinsman." Says Tayuya as She Holds her Belly softly. "What About Your Guys Child?" Asks Karin. "Ultimately, I'll Follow Shisui Wherever He Goes." Says Tayuya as She Leaves in Silence. Meanwhile Sasuke and Shisui are Fighting With Their Swords. Shisui's Kiba Are Beating Back Sasuke's Sword of Kusanagi. While Both Uchiha Are Highly Proficient and Capable in Both Lightning-Style and Kenjutsu In General, Shisui's Natural Prowess and Unusual Fighting Style Is Far Superior To Sasuke's. Shisui Finally Disarms Sasuke and Locks His Swords in A Criss-Cross over Sasuke's Throat. "Still Not Enough Cousin." Says Shisui as He Releases Sasuke and Takes A Seat on a Rock before Rehydrating Himself With Some of His Mother's Brew. "Shisui? What Did You Learn in Your Absence?" Sasuke Demands.

"Some Old Secrets about my Father and Bloodline. And A New power, One that Can Balance Jūgo if Done Correctly. But I Have Some Stuff To Sort out First. So While You Speak to the Granny, I'll Be Running Some Things down for Information." Says Shisui as He Stands Up. "You Know The Rendezvous Point?" Asks Sasuke. "Yeah, See You There." Says Shisui. "One More Thing, Take Tayuya With You." Says Sasuke. Not That I Mind, But Any Particular Reason Why?" Asks Shisui. "She Carries an Uchiha Child Inside Her, That Child is The Future of Her Clan, and My Father Would Never Forgive Me if I Willingly put The Child in Harms Way." Says Sasuke. "True, Uncle Fugaku Would Come Back and **** You if you did" Says Shisui Knowingly. "Don't I Get A Say in This?" Asks Tayuya. "No." Sasuke Says Sharply as he and The Others Depart. "Come, Tayuya, We Need to Make the Preparations." Says Shisui as He Goes over the Plan Mentally.

Shisui and Tayuya Had Come To Shisui's Own Oto Hideout. Shisui Performed Various Experiments Her, Such as The Assimilation of Various People's DNA into Himself, Training Operatives, or Even Experimenting With The Cursed Marks. Only Somebody With The Mangekyo Sharingan, and of Course the Rinnegan Could Enter the Complete and Entire Complex. Shisui Kept A Substantial Number of Genetic Samples and Research There. Every Room Required A Special Key, Every Key Required A Certain Chakra Nature or Nature's Flowed into Them. Shisui Entered The Main Lab and Went to A Number of Tanks. "What is All This?" Asks Tayuya. "Research, These Four Tanks Contain Clones of Your Former Comrades. I Have A Use for Each of Them, Just as I Have Use for Everything. Take Sakon and Ukon For Example." Says Shisui as He Comes To The Brothers Tank. "What About Those Losers?" Asks Tayuya. "Using My Snake Sage Art I Can Absorb Their DNA into my own Body, and Use Their Kekkei Genkai in Concert with my Sage Transformation to Reproduce Clones of Them. Then We've Got Kimimaro, His Macabre Bone Pulse Jutsu is A Rare Kekkei Genkai, Rare Even Amongst His Clan. By Using His Kekkei Genkai I Can Manipulate My Bone Structure for Offense and Defence." Says Shisui As He Goes to A Particular Desk and Unlocks it.

Tayuya Follows Him and Looks at The Contents of The Desk. "Are Those What I Think They Are?" Asks Tayuya. "Yeah, Cursed Marks, Originally Envisioned By My Father, But Perfected By Me. I Reckon it's Time to Use Them." Says Shisui as He Prepares Each Curse Mark, and, Using A Snake, He Bites himself in Several Places, His Lower Left and His Lower Right Abdomen, His Lower Left and Right Backs, and His Ribs. "What's So Special About These Ones Compared To Orochimaru's?" Asks Tayuya. "See This One? I Call it The Cursed Mark of Storms, This One Here is The Cursed Mark of Scales, This One's The Cursed Mark of Toads, This is The Cursed Mark of Power, and These Ones Are the Cursed Marks of Limbo, Reincarnation, Slug, Snake, and Ice." Says Shisui as He Lists off The Names. "So?" Says Tayuya. "The Cursed Mark of Storms Drastically Increases Ninjutsu Power and Strength. It Drains Stamina As A Result, But Rapidly Regenerates Chakra as a Result. The Cursed Mark of Scales Draws Upon Jugo's Kekkei Genkai and My Wood-Style. The Scales Cursed Mark Absorbs Natural Energy at an Accelerated Pace, By Using Wood-Style, The Natural Energy Rapidly Regenerates Stamina and Increases Cellular Rejuvenation. The Scales Mark Also Creates Scaled Skin, Protecting the Users Body." Says Shisui as He Places A Sealing Jutsu on The Cursed Marks. "And The Others?" Asks Tayuya. "Tell You Later, For Now I Have Some Work To Do. One of My Men Can Show you the Way to Our Room." Shisui Says and Just As Tayuya Tries To Ask What Men, He Claps Once and his Men Are Revealed.

"Take Lady Tayuya To My Room, Ensure She is Well-Fed, Looked After, and Protected At All Costs. You Know What Happens If You Fail." Says Shisui as The Agents Motion For Tayuya To Follow Them. When They've Left Shisui Turns Around. "What's The Status of Project H?" Shisui Asks His Lead Man. "Unresponsive." Came the Reply. "Hmm, Bring Me A Summary Report on all Active Projects, and Bring me My Dossiers." Says Shisui as His man Nods and Departs. "I Can Feel Your Presence, Show Yourself Already." Shisui Says and A Masked Man Appears.
