Nomu!Aizawa design, plus a Shigaraki for height reference.
Since Aizawa's fighting style is seemingly based off spiderman, we went a spider-mummy sorta design. His name is 黒寡, or Kurokuna. 黒 (kuro) which means black, and 寡 (sukuna) means widow/empty

Uchiha Sasuke remembers his brother’s face on that dreadful day.
Shisui-nii would never betray them, he thought. He would never harm them. It was the first time that Sasuke learned of what the term “missing-nin” meant.
As the years go on, Shisui's mostly forgotten. He's a blip on Konoha's radar. But as Sasuke grows up, he has to worry about Naruto being captured by someone who he once considered to be family. Itachi teaches him how to fight Shisui for that reason.
At the age of 19, Haruno Sakura is the most accomplished medic of her generation to ever grace the land of fire. They call her the second coming of Tsunade Senju. They said that she will singlehandedly revolutionized the shinobi system. They say she will change medical practices.
He remembered her waving goodbye, and she told them that she'd see them when she got back.
“I’ll bring you a present, Sasuke-kun!” she told him with a laugh.
They would go for ramen. He didn't want ramen. Not really. But he’d probably have to go anyway because of the insistent idiot he called a best friend.
"Sakura-chan! Get back safely!" Naruto told her.
“I will!” she said. “It’s going to be a piece of cake. This mission.”
She didn't get back safely.
She was considered missing.
When someone as high profile as Sakura goes missing, it raises alarms. Hunter-nin were sent out. Two villages were searching for her. Suna and Konoha. Kirigakure had also, in alliance with Konoha, sent out their best hunter-nin.
Tsunade then says it's in connection with Akatsuki.
And Sasuke thinks 'Shisui shisui shisui.
.

Meanwhile, Sakura thinks of her plants back home, of Ino and Naruto and ---
"It's Sasuke's birthday, isn't it?"
She glanced up at that Akatsuki cloaked former Konoha-nin. He went missing while she was in the Academy, and it's been years. He's supposedly one of Konoha's best missing-nin. They called him Shunshin no Shisui.
"How do you know Sasuke?" she asked him warily.
"Uchiha," he stated. "His brother used to fuss over what he should get him after our ANBU missions."
Genius turned insane? She can't quite figure out how this man thinks and functions. She just wants to get back alive.
They cut her a deal. Heal Shisui's eyes in return for freedom. But to heal his eyes means betraying Konoha. Can she kill him? He's blind as a bat, isn't he?
"Your thoughts are so loud," he states with a wry smile. "We cut you a fair deal, I think."
"I would never betray Konoha."
"Ah, I used to think like that to, once upon a long time ago."

It was some fifteen days later.
Sakura felt worn out by the chakra-bindings. She rested her head against the dirty wall in the dingy cellar. She thought of Konoha. She thought of leaves and sunny beautiful clear skies and laughing with Naruto and Sasuke.
Shisui’s genjutsu were starting to take a toll on her. But she’d still kept fighting him with happier memories.
Sakura just wanted to go home.
She heard footsteps associated with him.
"So Konoha sent a team out for you," he said. "They wanted to bring you out alive or dead. But something changed. They also believe you're a traitor."
Sakura swiveled around so quickly to look at him.
"Don't believe me?" he asked. "Konoha had another team intercept him."
He's stroking the head of his summon.
"My crow witnessed all of it. You're a traitor, Haruno Sakura."
Her ears rang Impossible. No, there has to be some plot involved. Was it that woman? That elder Koharu who took control of ROOT shortly after Elder Danzo died?
"They are coming for you, and it's not to take you back. What is your choice?"
All Sakura cared about was the hospital. They needed more funding. It meant that Tsunade had to cut some funding to ROOT, and conduct an internal investigation to see how funds were being used.
Elder Utatane Koharu didn't like that.
Sakura vaguely tried to recollect the mission she was sent on, and how it was a trap.
And Shisui watched as realization dawned on her face, and he thought it was all so painfully similar.
"You know," he said softly, as unsure if they was any word of comfort. "Sometimes, when you're young, and catapulting through the ranks, some people see that as a threat. Youthful, powerful people are a threat.”
“No...” she whimpered.
"You're a danger to their plots."
Sakura didn't reply. She was just staring at the wall, unseeing.
where nobody is dead, they grew up together from elementary until now, and everyone is living their best lives. team as family always makes me soft. they’re so wholesome together 🥰
