His froofy hair would be in good standing if people wouldn't want to touch it all the time. Particularly babies-- the ones he babysat for his cousins.
"Ah. Veteran shinobi know better than to over-exert themselves." If she was calling him old, then he was twisting it to throw experience back at her. "Usuall, it's the young hot-blooded ones that end up in hospital a lot." He may have sent her a wink, he may have not. It all happened so quickly and his lashes were naturally so long it was almost hard to tell~
He listened to the new technique she had been practicing with interest, though. Only then did he realize the reason behind her unwillingness to go all out on a demonstration of this one. Shisui sent her a smile, still soft, but not in admonishment this time. "You will not know if it'll work unless you try it on someone, Sakura. I have lived past the worst that could happen to me already. I can survive another round of something slightly different."
But he leaned back in his seat, the pad of his finger dragging across the rim of his cup. "But if you're really uncomfortable with going all out, then perhaps I am willing to accept a slightly altered version. We can work out methods to counter a counter-attack, if possible, too."
Because he was going to teach her to try and counter the sharingan, eventually. Better yet, Kotoamatsukami if she could get there. He didn't speak of it to her. Not yet. But deep down inside, that was his goal. It was also intriguing-- working with a counter-attack to Kotoamatsukami. If such advanced genjutsu almost on par with the Uchiha was possible with Toka Senju, then he didn't think it should be an issue to anyone else willing to learn as well.
