A/N: Normally in order to read the story with your reader self insert, obviously there's things like: (h/l) for hair length, (h/c) for hair color, (e/c) for eye color and so on! (L/N) is for Last Name hahahahahahahahahaha. There will be a few of those in upcoming stories and possibly this one but I haven't decided yet because I haven't typed anything out as of right now in this moment lol! Enjoy!

Reader POV

Tossing, turning, tossing, turning.

The insomnia never seems to end. I've had countless nights like this one and I can't seem to get rid of the restlessness that is settled in my brain.

The day was spent training and training and not a single sign of fatigue is present in my body... what is it with me that has my mind boggled up? Why can't I just sleep peacefully for once? This usually means I'll end up overthinking my life and how I shouldn't get involved with being a ninja because women shouldn't be ninja because blah blah blah... as if my clan respected any woman that wanted to be a ninja. The (L/N) has had only male ninja because of the machismo lifestyle we all were taught to understand. It's stupid because the women become stay-at-home women, while the men do all the "glory work"... as if they were any good anyway.

The women of the (L/N) clan are strong and fierce, but since they've never learned to control chakra or anything, they're nothing but house wives soon to be depleted of their life. I for one, left that tradition and became a ninja. I moved out of the compound and settled in a nice small home here in the Hidden Leaf Village. This opened up so many new avenues for me and provided me with new comrades and experiences. One of those comrades happens to be one of the most skilled Uchiha in all the Land of Fire. Yes yes, Shisui Uchiha. The man I had known to be a true shinobi. A man with honor and good intentions. You can't ever find anyone like that in my clan, oh no...

For years, I looked up to many female shinobi like for example, Tsunade Senju who specializes in medical ninjutsu and is one of the legendary sannin. A woman known with incredible strength and wit. I only hold promises to myself to become someone great...

At this point it's midnight and I still haven't fallen asleep, so I decide to get up and take a walk around Konoha's meadow I guess you could say. It's a place only I know and a place where I can breathe happy and relax.

I constantly fear that I will never be able to sleep soundly anymore. I'm missing a comfort that I can't provide on my own and I don't know what I'm missing. I'm hoping this walk clears my head a bit because I'm so tired of overthinking everything.

*Time skip to an hour later*

The meadow consists of a small river that runs throughout Konoha and is one of the most relaxing places one could be at. At this point my eyes are somewhat droopy and I'm somewhat tired, but I can't seem to lower my guard as I hear footsteps approaching...

Quickly I pull out my kunai knife that I hold with me just in case I run into trouble and JUMP up and get in close range with my opponent.

"Do you ever relax? It's just me (y/n)..."

"Oh Shisui... YOU ASSHOLE, YOU REALIZE I COULD HAVE KILLED YOU?"

"Okay, okay, calm down... I didn't mean to come up behind you so suddenly. I just happen to walk by and see you, so I decided to come and see what you were up to..."

"I'm sorry Shisui, I'm just irritated with myself right now."

"Why's that?"

"I haven't been sleeping well and have constant insomnia. I don't know what's going on, but I need some sort of comfort mechanism."

"Oh I see I see, I understand because I'm in the same situation. Missions after missions really do take a toll on the body..."

"I feel like it's all the missions too, but then again I overthink too much a lot, so I don't know..."
