I agree, an explanation is in order...we just don't need it during the course of current events. Honestly, based on what we currently know, it really doesn't matter to anything going on currently.

(Again, this is not to say that Shisui won't be coming back. It just seems really unnecessary...then again, when has that ever stopped Kishimoto?)

What closure? He is said to have died as he lived, protecting Konoha and attempting to save the Uchiha Clan. And truthfully nothing he says can't be said by others (Sarutobi is right before Sasuke's eyes currently, and Itachi already explained himself). As it is, I'm still confused as to what mysteries you are referring to. The only thing that even comes close is how he (or Itachi) so thoroughly destroyed all the genetic evidence of Shisui's existence, but the "why" has somewhat been explained (keeping his secrets from Danzou and the Uchiha Clan). (If you want further rampant speculation...Shisui was Obito's brother, and that is why Obito was so interested in the eyes. But, Shisui completely destroyed himself so as to keep the power of EMS out of Obito's hands.)

Honestly, if you want a real mystery: Who the hell is Itachi's girlfriend?

What more can be said about his techniques that hasn't already been said in the manga?

Sasuke doesn't need an adviser (especially one he would literally have just met). Sasuke needs information and then to sit down, sort his shit out, and finally make some life decisions. Yet another adviser would do nothing for him now except add to the confusion in his poor messed up brain.

That lesson was left up to Naruto to teach (Itachi both literally and figuratively gave Naruto Shisui's legacy).
