Uchiha's Butterfly

"Jiraiya-san? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, Kkakshi-hun. I'm drinkin- Wanna join?"

"Only if you say when the next Icha Icha book will be published, Jiraiya-san."

"*Hiccup* I can't. Authorsh~ secrret."

Seeing multiple bar-denizens point their fingers at the white-haired Sannin, Kakashi sat at the barstool next to Jiraiya's and asked the waiter for a refill, "You won't even do it for your most devoted fan?"

"Hehehe*Hiccup*hehe. No?"

"Was that a question or an answer?" Kakashi sighed, leaning towards the towering man, "Why the heck are you doing getting wasted here? Tomorrow is the competition. People are watching you, Jiraiya-san."

"I knowh, and I dun' care!" he sipped another glass of alcohol, "Haah... I tried tho run, you know? Tshunade already hash some comtrol over ANBU, they di-didn't let me go *Hiccup*."

"I never took you for a coward. Even if you have to fight with both Kana-chan and Tsunade-san, I believe you can find a way to score some points on each one."

"Kana-shan is not a problem..." Jiraiya's head bobbed up and down, "I knew the sp-*Hiccup*-sparring is only a matter of time, so I developsh a shpecial technique for that occasion."

"Hoh~?"

"Not telling." He swung and downed another bottle of sake, "I'm moresh worried about Tshunade."

"... I understand your plan. Thank you, Jiraiya-san. I know where to place my bets now."

"Hehe-hehehe, you're welcome, Kkakshi-kun."

"Oh, by the way," The silver-haired jōnin stopped before he left the drunk Sannin, "You're an excellent actor, but your eyes are way too sharp for being that wasted - you should work on that."

"Hmph." Jiraiya grumbled with approval, seeing Kakashi walking out of the bar, 'He is good...'

----

"Are you sure about it, Tsunade-sama? It seems a bit like a desperate move from your side. I thought you came back to Konoha because you wanted to be the Hokage?"

"Hmm? I'm sorry, did you ask me something, Shizune-chan?" Tsunade set aside a file of doc.u.ments.

"Haah... Something interesting took your attention, Tsunade-sama?"

"Yeah, that Flat Board did put up some exciting reforms in the education system." the woman patted the papers lying on her l.a.p, "She expects more on-hand experience instead of the old dry academy skills test."

"So you can figure out your differences? I thought you would never agree on anything with Kaname-san." Shizune exhaled happily.

"I never said that Flat Board is stupid. She is dangerously clever - Orochimaru wouldn't be scared so much of her otherwise."

"What can you say about your chances on today's competitions, Tsunade-sama?"

"I don't mind becoming a Hokage, but I have my own ulterior motive, Shizune-chan. I quickly got gossips about Flat Board's proficiency, heh, I feel like I shot myself in a foot asking for a match against her. In normal circ.u.mstances, she would be very likely to win. Fortunately, I have a plan."

"A plan? But what about Jiraiya-san?"

"The pervert doesn't stand a chance - yesterday he got himself drunk-wasted, most likely to drown his sorrows, hahaha. I talked with Sarutobi-sensei. He wasn't happy but agreed to make them fight first."

"What? How did you make the Hokage-sama change his decision?"

"Huh? I stood up to him and spouted some half-truths about me being the weakest of the competitors. Sarutobi-sensei decided to level the playing field for overall entertainment."

"So you lied?"

"Don't mind the details, Shizune-chan. We're shinobis - underhanded tactics are our second nature. I even got info on the betting odds. I want you to go place a bet on me losing, you know, for good measure. The pervert can endure a lot of beating, of that I'm sure. Flat Board will tire out fighting him - it should give me enough edge against her to connect at least a punch. It's all I need. Such a pretty girl with no muscle whatsoever won't stand back up after that." Tsunade trembled, "Uhh, you can't even imagine how much I look forward to erasing that confident smirk of the Flat Board's smug face."

"Tsunade-sama, you can't rely on your luck. If I can ask, what are the odds of Kaname-san winning the tournament?" The short-haired attendant sighed.

"You know of my curse, I never win a bet unless something bad is going to happen - it's only a precaution... Hmm, if I remember right, you would have to put insane amounts of money to gain anything if you bet on Flat Board winning. The commission would take more money than you could win from winning a small bet. If you bet on her losing and such a thing happening, would net you a sizable fortune, but even I'm not such an idiot that would try to gamble on that, she will at least trash that pervert. Now, sho-sho, go and place a bet against me!"

"Haah... You're hopeless."

-----

"I thought you were asleep, Naruto?" Utakata outshouted the siblings' cries.

"Are you trying to be funny? They're at the level of Konoha's alarm horns ~dattebayo."

"Haah... Okay, as you're here already, you can help me. Kana-chan's is sleeping - we won't get help from her. I will swaddle them, go find the milk bottles in the kitchen and lightly warm them up."

"Be right back, Utakata." Naruto nodded, bolting out of the room.

"You two won't let your Papa sleep even a bit, would you? Come here..." Utakata walked towards the cribs.

"Gaaa!" Kushina and Haru extended their little hands towards their father.

"Yeah-yeah, I can't win against both of you." He carefully pulled them up.

"Hehehe..." It was the first time, Utakata heard the babies laugh. According to him, it was one of the most beautiful sounds a human could listen to in his life. Those innocent chuckles stumped him speechless. Utakata looked down lovingly at his children, and they stared back into his brown eyes.

"Mommy will be pissed that she didn't hear that, you know?"

"What would piss Sis off?" Naruto ran back in.

"Their first laugh. Heh, sleepers are missing." Utakata chuckled, starting to swaddle his daughter.

"Damn, I missed out on it too ~ttebayo!" Naruto replied, discontented. The blonde let a drop of milk trickle on his wrist, "I think it's a tiny bit too hot for them."

"Okay, we can wait. I need to clean Haru and Kushina first."

"*Cough* That smell is... extreme. How do you deal with that, Utakata?" Naruto took a step back.

"I had to get used to it. Literally, it's a parent's shitty duty. Maybe someday you will understand it." Utakata tried to lecture without taking any long breaths.

"Yeah... I'm having second thoughts looking at you ~dattebayo."

"Aaand, done!" Utakata folded two filled diapers and passed them towards Naruto, "Can you get out of here?" Naruto dry-heaved at the poo in front of him, making Utakata laugh at the blonde, "I'm just joking. Be right back, take care of them for a moment."

The brown-haired jinchūriki came back two minutes later with his hands still soaked in water.

"The milk should be perfect now, Utakata."

"Thanks. Take care of Kushina. I will feed Haru. Just follow my movements."

"A stupid question, did Sis do all of that with me ~ttebayo?"

"Yeah, she had a lot of help, but Kana-chan must have learned all of that at an insane rate to take care of you."

"Hehehe, Sis is one of a kind."

Thirty minutes later, the two jinchūrikis tried to silently tiptoe out of the room. They were a single step away from leaving the room when their quiet crawl-adventure was stopped by a long and wet fart.

Utakata looked back at the crib, looking straight into the happy eyes of his children.

"Hehehehe~" they laughed.

"Ah, shit... I heard their laugh this time ~dattebayo."

"Yeah, exactly that, shit... it's going to be another looooong night." Utakata sighed.

...

"Morning, Naru-chan. Breakfast is ready." Kaname greeted the blonde as he walked out of his bedroom.

"Hi, Sis. Hi, Utakata." Naruto yawned, "Will you take me to today's Hokage's Exams ~ttebayo? Hmm~"

"A what?" Kaname, to the baby's protest, pulled the bottle out of little Kushina's mouth.

"Heh, it's Shikamaru's idea. Something about you putting the genins through a troublesome wringer, and now the karma strikes back. Hmm~ I love the way you make those, Sis." Naruto sniffed a dish in front of him, a freshly baked pasta mixed with tomato sauce, bacon, and eggs on top.

"I'm still blown away by the breakfast..." Utakata, with clear and dark bags under his eyes, nodded his head.

Kaname winked their way, "I tried something new. I can't wrap my mind on how you could eat four refills, Utakata..."

"I'm not someone that will pass up such a dish. I hoped some food will give me some energy for later." He shrugged.

"Hehe, only four ~ttebayo? You're making it easy, Utakata."

"You're on, Naruto."

"I said you should go and sleep, Utakata. I have it under my control."

"Thanks, it's only their third night. I can cope with some more." he yawned back.

"So what about the exams, Sis?"

"I don't see a problem with you coming with us, Naru-chan. I booked you two the spot in the VIP arena."

"Oh yeah! I can see how kick-ass you really are ~ttebayo!"

"Kana-chan, how is Tsunade-san doing?"

"She is slowly getting back to shape. And regularly defeating Jiraiya-san's in their sparring sessions."

"Are you sure it's a good idea? We both know that Jiraiya-san is not Hokage's material. If this continues, he will lose the competitions." Utakata asked worriedly.

"Hehe. No, Jiraiya-san won't become Hokage. Hey, Naru-chan, you spared with both of them. Who do you think is a better fighter of the two?"

"*Sluuurp*" Naruto quickly s.u.c.k.e.d in his breakfast, "Seconds, please! I wouldn't want to get hit by Granny's punch, but generally, Ero-sennin is much more prepared to deal with his enemies. How to say it, his fighting style and tricks are more mixed, if you know what I mean ~dattebayo."

"Never thought about him like that..." Utakata put another helping on Naruto's plate.

"Yeah, most people make the same mistake about him. Jiraiya-san is only acting like a fool - because he wants other people to think of him that way. Remember, he also is one of the Sannin."

"Hey, Sis, how many hits will it take for you to knock down Granny? Can you do it in one? Like a punch, ~kaboom, and she drops down ~ttebayo?" Naruto gesticulated.

"Hehe, sure, but what do I get for that?"

"Ugh... One instant-ramen cup?"

"Let's make it five, Naru-chan."

"It's not worth it! Granny almost knocked me out by fl.i.c.k.i.n.g my forehead. I just wanted to know if you can do that too."

"I don't even have to touch you to knock you down, Naru-chan. And I'm taking those cups for your health."

"... It's hard to bargain with you, Sis. AAH! Okay, five! But no genjutsu!"

Kaname shrugged her shoulders, "I wasn't going to use it anyway. But forget about that '~kaboom' part."

...

"What's up, Jiji."

"Hi, Hokage-jiji!" the brother-sister duo greeted the old man happily while Utakata just nodded his head.

"Hello. Are you sure you want to fight Them in a casual outfit, Kana-chan? They're my students - neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade won't go down that easily." Hokage's eyes appreciated her lean body covered by a comfy and casual white shirt and a pair of blue jeans tightly following her long legs.

"If I had to use it, I always have my ANBU outfit hidden in my storage seal. But I won't have to fight much this time, Jiji."

"*Cough* About that. I'm sorry, I suppose." Sarutobi gasped, "Tsunade-chan asked of me yesterday to change the tournament order - it was so underhanded and shinobi-like that I could do nothing but approve it. You will have to fight Jiraiya-kun first."

"Heh, that's changes nothing, Jiji. It only confirms my impression that Tsunade-san is a good choice. By the way, here you go, a double-cuteness attack!" Kaname put her babies on the Hokage's l.a.p, pulling the smoke pipe out of his mouth, "They miss their great-grandpa, you know?"

"Huhuhu-..." the old man smiled gratefully from the bottom of his heart as two newborns tugged at his fingers. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Jiji. Just keep those rascals close - they're way too interested in anything around them for me to leave them out of sight. Ready to go?"

"They're safe with me, Kana-chan. Utakata-kun, Naruto-kun, stay close, just in case."

"Wouldn't have it any other way, Hokage-sama." Utakata retorted.

"Hehe, only if you let me play with my siblings, Hokage-jiji."

"You can do whatever you want, Naruto-kun. Let's-"

*Fwoosh* the group disappeared in a blast of fire.

"-go?" As his temporary blindness from a flash of red light passed, Hokage noticed himself sitting at the chūnin's exams VIP terrace, "It's needless to say, but it's a helpful skill, Kana-chan."

"Yep, it is, Jiji." Kaname looked around the stands, greeting with a nod of her head, all acquaintances smiling at her showy entrance.

"Huhuhu, it seems Inoichi-san is very proud of his most successful student." Hokage chuckled, pointing at the blonde man smirking at his life-long teammates. "Can you tell me what you have planned after the tournament? Haru-kun and Kushina-chan will need their mother, but I can't imagine you sitting out the rest of your life in Konoha."

"Hehe, you know me so well. Yeah, I have something planned. But we will have to wait for Tsunade-san to become the next Hokage. I don't want to repeat myself needlessly."

"Hoh? You're so sure that Tsunade-chan loses? I wouldn't bet against you, but Jiraiya is on the same level as she is."

"He Was on the same level." Kaname winked.

"Huhuhu... I see what you're implying. Interesting."

"What is?" Tsunade climbed the stairs with Jiraiya walking right behind her.

"The tournament, Granny. And hello to you too, Jiraiya-san."

"Hello, Kana-chan."

"Granny, how is the Lee-kun?"

"Is he your friend, gaki? You did a good job at restraining his arm, Flat Board. His arm bones were pulverized, it will take some time, but he will return to full health."

"I see you three are ready. Let's begin and get it over with. *Cough* Kuma!" The Hokage called out. Half a second later, an ANBU with a one-eyed bear mask and raven black hair flickered in front of him.

"Yo, Aniki."

"Haah... Not at work, Little Squirt. What do you require of me, Hokage-sama?" Ryuichi bowed.

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, I set the ANBU around the village. We did not find any traces of invasion forces nearby. The seats are filled in ninety-five percent. We can begin at your mark, Hokage-sama."

"Good, tell Asuma to begin the show."

"As you wish." Kaname's brother nodded, flickering away.

"Asuma-kun? Why did you choose him, Jiji?"

"Some of Daimyō's court members are watching this competition. Despite the number of Konoha's jōnins, my son is the least 'eccentric' of you all and has enough experience to at least deflect a shot if one of you forgot yourselves. If I picked someone like Kakashi-kun or Guy-kun, we would become a laughing stock. Haah... whoever loses has my deepest condolences, working and managing such a band of freaks is mind-boggling."

"Hey, what about me?!" Kaname cried out, hurt.

"You're a prime example of a freak, Kana-chan," Jiraiya deadpanned.

"True, I don't know you for long, but... damn you, Flat Board. Keep your jokes a tiny bit restrained, at least for my mental health!" Tsunade added.

"Hahaha, yeah, Sis is a magnet for trouble ~ttebayo!"

"Haah... I'm sorry, Kana-chan. I have to agree with them." Utakata finished her off.

"See that, Kana-chan? It's not only my opinion." the old Hokage grumbled.

"Hahaha," Kaname laughed, scratching the side of her face, "Okay, I may not be a prime example of a kunoichi..."

"Let's go, Kana-chan." Jiraiya patted her arm, walking towards the stairs.

"Huh? Where to?"

"Heh, you didn't even notice that Asuma-kun announced us, did you, Kana-chan?"

"Ah... But why are you leading me towards the stairs, Jiraiya-san?" Kaname pointed at the open view of the stadium floor.

"Eh? That's a good question..." The Toad Sannin's body was covered in a puff of smoke, signaling the use of <Shunshin no Jutsu>. Half a second later, the towering, white-haired reappeared in front of Asuma.

"Go kick some a.s.s, my love." Utakata smiled at her.

"Right, show us how badass you are ~dattebayo!"

Kaname threw a blunt kunai over her arm and blew a kiss towards her family, "Be right back." she evaporated in an explosion of red flames.

"Huhuhu, they're so similar to each other." The old man chuckled in his hoarse voice.

"Am I the only one sane left, Sarutobi-sensei? She is nothing like Minato."

"What do you think, Naruto-kun?"

"Sis would get mad if you compare her to my Pops, Hokage-Jiji. So in that part, you're in sync with my Sis, Granny."

"What? Is she too arrogant to be matched with the strongest Hokage as of yet?"

"Hehehe," Naruto scratched the back of his head, "No, Sis says, she is the reverse of my Pops principles ~ttebayo."

"W-What?!"

"Before you try to pull wrong conclusions, Tsunade-chan, I think Naruto-kun is talking about Kana-chan's approach to the good of the Konoha." Naruto nodded his head, "Minato was civilians' beloved hero - he sacrificed his life for the protection of Konoha. He had a hard time combining his family life with work. Kaname is different. She would put her heart into any request given by one of her friends, but she couldn't care less about Konoha as long as her family and friends are safe and happy."

----

"What's up, Asuma-kun." Kaname greeted him, shouting over the civilians *booing* her entrance. "Hehe, they love me..."

"You like showy entrances, Kaname-chan." The jōnin from the Sarutobi clan greeted her.

"Before we begin, Kana-chan." Jiraiya called out to her, "We both know that you're going to win. I can assure you that from this day onwards, my image among the population will change."

"Hoh~? You have something planned, Jiraiya-san?"

"Before you drag me through the dirt, let me use one technique." He extended his finger.

"Heh, now that's exciting. I can't promise I won't protect myself, but you can try."

"Okay, did you finish your conversation? Can we begin?" Asuma shook off the ash from his cigarette.

"Yeah, let's do it." Kaname nodded, putting her hands on her h.i.p.s and waiting for Jiraiya's move.

"I appreciate it, Kana-chan." Jiraiya nodded thankfully.

"Begin!" Asuma thundered, jumping back.

"Try my own custom-made technique, specially created for you, Kana-chan!"

Kaname just stood there waiting, not feeling even a grain of danger coming from the towering man in front of her.

Jiraiya's hands flew through a multitude of handseals, his wooden shoes scratched the dirt beneath his feet in a weird dance. "<Chō Haipā Sugoi Hiden Gama Akirameru no Jutsu> [Superior Hyper Great Secret Toad's Technique: I give up]!" the Sannin lifted his arms in surrender.

Kaname rose her brows in surprise, "That was a little unexpected. Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I would like to retain the leftovers of the respect I still have among the population - thank you very much. Getting trashed by a girl one-third my age won't help me." Jiraiya chuckled.

Asuma exhaled the smoke from his lungs and loudly announced, "Kaname Uchiha wins!"

*BOOOO!*

"Hehe, they really love me. By the way, Jiraiya-san, you made a mistake..." Kaname pointed at his feet.

"Huh?"

She winked playfully in response, "Not a bad idea, I will help you."

------

"That stupid pervert!" Tsunade growled out out-yelling the booing crowd, "I hoped he would at least attempt to fight back."

"Huhuhu, plans don't live long when Kana-chan is in play, Tsunade-chan."

"Yeah, duly noted, Sarutobi-sensei. It seems I will have to fight her myself."

"Hehe, wasn't this always the idea, Granny?"

"Zip it, gaki. My plan might have got smashed, but I won't get defeated that easily!"

"Then you should go. Asuma-kun and Kana-chan are waiting for you down there, Tsunade-chan. Good luck."

"... Thanks, Sensei."

Tsunade walked down the stairs. When she reached the ground floor, her eyes got blinded by the sun-rays. Covering her face, the Slug Sannin noticed the woman she would soon fight with and her teacher's son talking casually. The two didn't mind the crowd booing Kaname.

When the busty woman entered the arena, the mob switched their whistles and shouts to applause. 'It seems the Senju's name is still respected around here. I'm not sure if I should be happy or not. What they did to Naruto is unforgivable.'

"Oh, you came here, Granny." Kaname turned around.

'She is planning something. Hmm...' Tsunade looked around, looking for a trap, "Why are you standing on perverts spot, Flat Board?"

"So you wouldn't call the results off because of something like the sun being too low and blinding you." the Uchiha smirked back.

"You won't use your sword? I heard you're an experienced kenjutsu user, Flat Board. I wouldn't want You to say you didn't use your full strength after I smash you." Tsunade replied, putting an accent on 'You.'

"Nope, I would never pull out a sword against an unarmed friend."

"Friend?!" The Senju asked in astonishment.

"We're not enemies." Kaname shrugged her shoulders, "Neither of us would back down from our own beliefs, but that does make us rivals at the most, Granny."

"You always have to be right, huh?" Tsunade stood in front of Kaname, taking her combat stance, "I just want to erase that smirk from your face."

"Try me, Granny."

"Begin." Asuma shouted out, flickering away from two temperamental women.

Tsunade winded up her punch, 'She is charging straight at me?!'

This slight hesitation was all that Kaname needed. Tsunade thrust her hand straight at her cheek.

Dodging the punch, the black-haired beauty caught the older woman's arm between her hands. Carried by the impetus of the much stronger taijutsu combatant, Kaname let her own body follow the punch - thanks to this, her knee found itself right behind Tsunade's temple.

The Slug Sannin knocked herself out with just a tiny help from Kaname's knee.

"Welp... That was even quicker than before, Kana-chan. Is Tsunade-sama alive? Pretty much all the strength from her punch was delivered to the backside of her head."

Kaname pointed at the VIP terrace and followed it by extending five of her fingers, "Luckily, I wasn't copying the way her chakra concentrated to a point in her hand. That would kill her for sure. But without that, she just received the pure power of her muscle striking the back of her head. Granny will be alright - she survived much more brutal hits."

"*Gasp*... Ugh." Right when Kaname assured the referee, Tsunade g.r.o.a.n.e.d, lifting herself up with her arms.

"See?"

Tsunade sat on the ground and shook her head, "What the heck hit me?" she asked, massaging the forming bump.

"You pretty much kicked yourself, Granny."

"Ugh... Flat Board. You did this?"

"I'm sorry, I suppose. My taijutsu is using the power of my opponents against them. Seeing such an easy target, I couldn't hold myself back." Kaname chuckled.

"I will get that smirk off your face!" Tsunade launched herself at Kaname.

'Hahaha, yeah, her punches have a lot of power behind them, but as long as she can't connect them...' The Uchiha, not moving even an inch from her starting position, danced around the raging Senju's strikes.

The older woman's fury lasted for about a minute, "Haah... Haah... Stop dodging! Let me hit you just once!"

Kaname jumped away, "No dodging, you say? Okay, I will block your next strike, Granny."

"Block it?!" Tsunade took deep, tired breaths, "I never saw a person able to even deflect a punch from me. Whatever, it's your funeral, Flat Board."

"Try me. Use all you have got!" Kaname replied, casually holding her hands on her h.i.p.s.

"You asked for it! RAAAH!" the moment Tsunade's fist hit the flesh, the woman released all of her concentrated chakra in an instant.

The pure power behind the punch stirred up clouds of dust that blown against the arena wall.

"Ah, shit, I forgot about restraining myself!" Expecting to see the broken body of her opponent, Tsunade tried to pull her fist back, but she was unable to move it even an inch, "Huh?"

*FWOOSH* a powerful gust of wind cleared the dust.

Tsunade gasped at the sight - Kaname casually held her fist. The young Uchiha had enormous ghostly-red butterfly wings on her back. The chakra enveloping her body was so potent it felt like it was palpable.

"W-What are you?"

"Like this, Granny?" Kaname laughed lightly, releasing the Senju's fist, "It's Akimichi clan technique combined with the Fourth of the Eight Gates opened."

"You stole it from them?"

"I did not. Those techniques were willingly given to me, Granny."

"Haah... I lost." Tsunade dropped on her knees, spent completely.

"Muh~, no fun. Now that I literally have spread my wings, you want to give up?"

"Hehe-hehehe. Yeah, you win. You're insane, girl."

"Thanks, Granny. But remember, you still have a fight against your teammate."

"Ah... f.u.c.k."
