章節 8: Scarlet Rabbit
"Little Butterfly, why do you need so many kunais and shurikens? You know they're not one-time use only, right?" Sachi asked jokingly.
"It's my homework, I have to train in throwing them?" Kaname replied, not sure of her own words.
"You suck at lying, you know that Butterfly? I know throwing weapons are in the second year curriculum, surely academy doesn't want their children in the third month of the studies to use blades. I will buy you some, only if you promise me now, that you won't train with sharp and pointy stuff without me, or your brother next to you, or till you won't get a real homework from the academy. Can you do that for me?" the woman pleaded. 'I hope she can allow me to keep her safe during the training. This little mayhem would find a rusted kunai in some dump and cut her pretty fingers off just to train her pain endurance!'.
"I promise, mommy. Um, I'm sorry for lying." her daughter shyly answered. "Mommy, I have a question. I was in a library and read about this Madara person you were talking about with Aniki."
"*Sigh* Of course, you would be interested when I mentioned a name only a single time. Why couldn't you show such interest in gardening, dancing, or anything less dangerous instead? Me and my big mouth."
Sachi's hand slapped her own forehead. "Okay, let's go towards my friend's smithy, I will tell you about our village creation on the way."
...
"So Madara was a traitor to the village, and he fought his best friend slash rival, dying in the process?" wondered Kaname.
"Yes, the idiot had a god complex. Thought himself as invincible, using an advanced form of his Sharingan, he enslaved the mind of a powerful creature, a nine-tailed fox Kyubi. With its help, he fought with Shodai Hokage in a place we now call The Valley of The End. Luck was on Hashirama's-sama side, every single one of Madara's technique was easily countered by Shodai-sama. In the end, Madara died. Oh, here it is." They stopped before a small shop - above its front doors, there was a wooden depiction of an anvil with a drawn text 'Teruya's smithy.'
A couple of minutes later, they left the shop with two bags full of ninja tools. Kaname happily bolted out of the hot workshop ramming a red-haired passerby that was standing just outside the shop doors. "Guh! Nice hit Kana-chan, right under the ribs..." Kushina massaged the spot that Kaname headbutted, "And hello Sachi-sensei" she greeted her superior, lightly patting Kaname's head.
"I'm sorry, Kushi-chan, she is happy because she got her first ninja tools. Did my plan bear any frui-? Woah! Why does Minato look like someone sucked the life out of him?!" Sachi jumped back from a zombie-like Minato.
"Hehehe, Thank you for the lingerie. For the last two days, we pretty much weren't leaving the bedroom." laughed young red-head proud of herself.
"The heck?! Are you rabbits?! Ah, forget it, congrats, I knew you could do it!" Sachi replied, happy for her charge.
"What are you talking about?" wondered Kaname.
"...We will talk about this later, my Little Butterfly." the woman dodged the question, 'Much later if I can help it, like in ten years, or maybe in twenty years at the least, yeah that sounds about right…' thought her protective mother.
"So Kana-chan, you got yourself some staby-staby things? Be careful, they're dangerous. We're here to get my boyfriend's three-pointed kunais. Take a look Kana-chan." Kushina has shown Minato's special kunai.
"I can understand why those kunais end in three points, they're bigger, heavier, and harder to dodge, but why there is something drawn on its handle?" Kaname felt interested.
"That's a seal Kana-chan, Minato-kun can teleport to any single one of his kunais, making him one of the fastest shinobi in the world. Some people call him a 'Yellow Flash.'" Kushina explained proudly of her boyfriend's accomplishments.
"Wow, so seals can teleport ninjas to other seals?" Kaname asked.
"Yes, but they can do much more, they can create fire, store anything, protect, the possibilities are pretty much limitless. My Uzumaki clan specializes in creating seals, every ninja from Uzushio with his seals is worth 3 normal ninjas-."
At this moment near them from a whirlwind of leaves came two ninjas in grey Anbu gear with Dog and Cat masks.
"Minato-sama, Kushina-sama. You are called in posthaste to Hokage's office. Jōnin Sachi-sama, please take your daughter home. The village is under a code black emergency." said the Dog masked Anbu.
Minato's eyes immediately regained focus, "Let's go." he said, taking his girlfriend's hand and disappearing in a yellow flash.
Throughout Sachi's body went a cold shiver. "Mommy, what's a code black emergency?" she heard her daughter question.
"Something very bad. We need to go now!" Sachi took Kaname's under her arm and started jumping from one of the rooftops to another one.
Halfway to their home, village silence was broken by a loud continuous sound of a horn. 'No, gods, I beg you, not again! It's too soon!' Sachi cried in her mind.
"My dear Konoha citizens, I'm sorry." said the sad voice of Sandaime Hokage, "Two hours ago, I received the news of an attack and complete destruction of our ally Uzushiogakure led by shinobis from Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, and Land of Water. I sent relief forces to check the situation, but the messenger gave me the hard bloody truth. Uzumaki clan was decimated, civilians were butchered, women r*ped, schools burned with children inside." his voice trembled at recounting the memory, "From north of our borders, there are reports of moving armies. I'm sorry to bring you so similar and sad message as ten years ago, but here it is my dear citizens, Third Shinobi World War has begun! Believe in the Will of Fire, for as long as there is a belief, there is always hope for the better tomorrow." He finished.
Sachi was hugging her daughter very tightly like her life depended on it. Kaname's forehead was hit by a single tear let from her mother's eye.

dahnik A Wild Chapter Appeared! It was super effective! You read it! :-)
Editing took me less time than I imagined. So I thought why not give you something to read? :-)
Kaname won't get to the frontlines in the next chapter or two - she just started the first year of the academy. Most of her peers don't know which end of the kunai is dangerous. But with the loss of troops on the battlefield, there will be a need for new recruits *wink*.
If you found any mistakes please inform me! :-) I don't like mistakes :-).
