Uchiha's Butterfly

Chapter 38 - The puffer fish

"No one knows for sure if Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan did ever exist, Kana-chan. But my sensei told me, Madara evolved his eyes to their upper limit, just to best his eternal rival. Maybe he attained a higher level than the normal Mangekyō Sharingan. Please Kana-chan, don't follow into this madman footsteps."

"Don't worry about me, Jiji. But what Madara did, what made him so bitter? I know he and Hashirama-sama created the Village. I doubt the First would trust somebody like him"

"It is a popular belief that he took his younger brother's eyes against his will. But I doubt it, Tobirama-sensei delt Madara's brother Izuna a deadly blow on the battlefield. I was eight when I saw Madara Uchiha the last time, his only wish was to protect his little brother from harm. You should see this duo, they were like you and Ryuichi…*Sigh* I believe Izuna gave his eyes to Madara on his deathbed, what do you think would happen with Ryuichi if you died?"

"I… I understand…" Kaname replied sadly.

"Madara was broken when his little brother died, Tobirama-sensei called it the Curse of Hatred. Madara became more brutal with his enemies and allies alike, soon he left Konoha, just to attack the Village he helped to create six years later."

"So it's likely that attaining the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan can help my brother regaining his sight?"

"If the story Tobirama-sensei has told me is true then yes. But do you think that Ryuichi would take your sight away just to regain his?"

"Eh? Shit! I didn't think of that…"

"Kana-chan, let's change the topic. We're alone here so I hope nobody else will hear of it."

"Okay"

"It's about the spider you caught the last time, we tried to break into his mind looking for his employees. We didn't expect his secrets were protected by a seal. When one of Yamanaka's serving in T&I broke into the intruder's mind the seal destroyed the brain of the "Anbu", leaving our Yamanaka in a comatose state"

"Wow, someone put a lot of fail-safes on his agents. Any idea who might try to listen to our secrets?" Kaname asked.

"I don't have ideas, I know whos spy it was. I never thought Danzo uses them to spy on me. Danzo created his own private Anbu division - when our ninja take missions from our clients, his division is taking care of the unwanted, shady, killing and sabotaging contracts"

"Isn't it what the Anbu should be doing?"

"Yes, but the Anbu respond to me. According to Danzo, he is doing everything to protect Konoha from harm. He trained his agents to be emotionless machines that can accomplish any missions"

"Danzo failed" Kaname interrupted him.

"What do you mean?"

"My power Tsubasa-no-kioku works in a weird way. I can recreate only the kill that put a lot of stress and guiltiness in my victim's memory"

"So, if someone didn't feel any emotions… Or didn't ever kill anybody"

"Then my power wouldn't work"

"Heh, thanks Kana-chan. I will put immediate orders to disband Danzo's Root organization. There is still hope for those young boys and girls to return to the light"

At this moment a small brown falcon flew into the office with a message attached to his left lower limb.

"Kana-chan, get me Duy-san here! His son is in great danger!" Hokage ordered after reading the letter.

"Where to find him?"

"Most likely he is running l.a.p.s around Konoha. Go!"

"Roger!" Kaname disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

Kaname ran on top of Konoha walls looking for clues of where to find Might Duy. Soon she saw a man in a spandex green suit with a bristling mustache and a goatee, running upside down using only two of his fingers. She jumped in front of him, stopping his training.

"Hello, Kana-chan. Nice to meet you, at last, I heard a lot about you from Ryuic-" he greeted standing on two fingers.

"Hello, Duy-san. Sorry, there is no time for pleasantries. Hokage-sama asked me to call you back to his office, something happened - your son is in danger"

"Let's go!" the man said running full-speed ahead. Kaname had some problems to keep up with him.

"Sarutobi-sama, where is my son?" Duy asked opening the Hokage's office doors.

"Guy-kun and his team, consisting of Ebisu and Genma, are being pursued by a group of Kirigakure ninja. The last message I got positioned them east of Uzu, they were heading to the Wave Country. I will send a division of Anbu with you"

"No, thank you. They won't keep up with my speed" the man with a yellow scarf replied.

"If you give me two more minutes I will have a way to easily track them, of course, if you allow me to help with the rescue mission," Kaname said.

Duy looked at her eyes looking for any dose of uncertainty, "Okay, you kept up with me. I heard you're a really good healer and one amazing kunoichi to boot. Welcome aboard!"

Kaname burst back to her home, she saw her mother playing with a blonde baby.

"Mom, I must go, Genma-kun and his teammates are in danger. Take care of Naruto-chan!"

"Okay, but be careful Little Butterfly"

"I will. See you later!" Kaname hugged her mother and kissed Naruto's forehead. She put two fingers to her mouth and loudly whistled.

From around the corner, a border-collie the size of a small wolf sprinted to her position.

"Hi, Hamimaru" Kaname scratched her home protector behind her ears, "Remember Genma? He is in danger, will you help me find him?"

*Woof*

"Let's go!" Kaname jumped out of her home heading south-east to meet with Might Duy.

After six hours of the sprint, Kaname started feeling her chakra being drained and had problems taking breaths.

"Wow, Kana-chan! That's what's YOUTH all about, most ninjas would give up some time ago. I tested everything, remember to always breathe with both your mouth and nose. Don't forget to take deep and calm breaths... Good, let's keep going!"

'Shit, we run through the distance the normal ninja would defeat in a half a day. But we're just halfway there… So that's why I couldn't catch Aniki when we were playing tag. At least Hamimaru is able to run at her full speed. Heh, ninkens are scary...' Kaname thought, sprinting right behind her older brother sensei.

Kaname was feeling lucky when the last part of their distance Duy slowed down to look around for his son, it allowed her to regain her breathing capabilities and some of her chakra.

"Hamimaru, if you smell Genma, or hear the sounds of fighting give me a bark" The ninken nodded her head.

"Looking for them through the entire country will take too much time. Have you got any ideas, Kana-chan?" Duy asked.

"Hmm, it depends if you want our enemies to know where we are, or if you want to attack them as a proper ninja" Kaname replied.

"Sorry, there is not enough time for playing stealthy games"

"Okay, go to the top of the tree, I will send two fireballs upwards. Genma will understand the signal, he will send another fireball showing us his location" Kaname said.

"And their enemies will know it as well, I don't like it. But it must be done" Duy jumped on the tree and run atop of it.

"<Katon: Tsuin Gokakyu no Jutsu>!" From Kaname's mouth shot two red-firey balls swiftly gaining height.

"Kana-chan! It worked, didn't see their exact position but I saw the signal flying from past the horizon north-east of here. Let's go!"

They sprinted north-east, soon from her left side Kaname heard a loud *Woof*.

"Good girl! Show us the way!"

They found Genma, Guy and Ebisu surrounded by seven Kirigakure ninjas, each one with a weird blade in their hands.

'Shit! Are those Seven Ninja Swordsmen of The Mist?! Why the f.u.c.k are they hunting down a chunin and two genins?!' Kaname was hidden behind the bush, waiting for the best chance to strike at her enemy.

"It seems your reinforcements arrived. The three of you hiding behind the bushes, come out, or I will kill these younglings faster than you can blink!" The tallest member shouted out. The first impression Kaname had of him was that he looked like a fat fish. His face had small round eyes, six green stripe-tattoos, and like the rest of the swordsmen - jagged teeth. His long orange hair was reaching his back, some of it was pinned at the top. In his hand rested a very big sword with blue scales.

"Yosh! Mannen Genin arrived on the scene!" Duy yelled out landing in the middle of the battlefield.

"Dad!"

"Hahaha, they sent a genin to the rescue? My name is Fuguki Suikazan, I'm the oldest member of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of The Mist. Oh, I see we have an Inuzuka here as well, who are you?"

"Kana-chan?" Genma asked.

"My name is Kaname, I'm just a medic, don't mind me" Kaname smirked his way, healing the small injuries that Ebisu amassed.

"A jōnin uniform... Okay, let's do it this way. You guys can have fun with those weaklings, it's my turn to have a blast with an enemy jōnin" said the orange-haired man.

"Hey I don't remember when I had a good fight, the last time doesn't count - I killed the opponent in ten seconds!" yelled the owner of the needle-like sword.

"Shut up Kushimaru! You chose that f.u.c.ker, it's not my fault he was weak."

"No, no, stop!" Kaname shouted. "You don't understand, you shouldn't overlook Duy-san, he is stronger and more experienced than me!"

"Nah, he is only a genin. Let's have some fun now Jōnin Kaname, Attack!" he ordered.
