Uchiha's Butterfly

"Oh no, Kaname. You will not run away"

Kaname tried to discreetly leave the command tent after the discussion started on planning the next move. She was stopped by a hand on her shoulder and the sweet voice of her mother.

"Sorry gentleman. I have to exchange some words with my little daughter, excuse us…" Sachi said, leaving the tent and dragging Kaname away by her collar.

"Aniki! SAVE! ME!"

"For how long were you on this battlefield?! Why didn't you try to find me?" her mother yelled at her.

"I'm sorry mommy, I got here one and a half days ago and you know how yesterday looked like."

"Why are you even here? You should still be in the academy. And why have I heard you landed in the hospital after your first mission?"

"Konoha required more troops on the frontline, for this, the four-year academy teaching plan was thrown out of the window and replaced with a more compressed two-year plan. As for why I landed in the hospital, I was ambushed and had to fight against a Chūnin and his team." Kaname replied calmly.

"*Sigh*" Sachi scratched her head, "Okay, are you okay now? Does nothing hurt?"

"Well, I got almost cooked this morning, but other than this I am okayish"

Her mother dropped on her knees and gently hugged her daughter.

"I missed you my Litlle Butterfly, let me hug you for a minute. I need to recharge my Kanahium batteries, it's the only source of power more important than chakra"

"Hehe, I missed you too."

"Okay, thanks Little Butterfly. I won't be able to go with you, but I will pull some strings to send Ryuichi with you. After you return I will train you in iryōjutsu, do you want to stay in my tent?"

"Thanks, mommy, but I think I should stay with my new friends"

"Fufufu, It'ss nice to see the bonding of a mother with her daughter. I'm ssorry Sachi-san, can I talk privately with little Kaname?" Orochimaru interrupted the duo.

Sachi stood before Kaname protecting her with her body,

"I will allow you to talk alone, but if you do something to my little treasure I promise, you will think that the brain tumor is a birthday gift when I'm done with you."

"Fufufu noted. I jusst want to talk"

After Sachi left them, the white-faced man faced Kaname.

"So Kana-chan, do you know why Hokage ordered me to take you away from your platoon?" he asked. With Kaname shaking her head, he explained.

"You're making a name for yourself, we, as the elite ninjas, think you are ready for a promotion. This expedition will be your test, we move out in 3 days, if you want to I can help you with your kenjutsu training - I'm one of the best Konoha has to offer."

"Eh? Me a chūnin? Why?"

"Fufufu, from what I read in reports you pretty much lead your platoon while they were charging, what's more, you saved our army from an artillery barrage. Maybe you're young, but you are already a chūnin material. Meet me in 6 hours, if you want to survive I need to show you a few moves"

"I will, thank you Orochimaru-san, and see you later"

"Go little Uchiha-chan, your brother wanted to talk with you"

Kaname found her brother waiting for her around the corner.

"Morning Aniki, can you teach me how you did those things from before, with this flaming ribcage, and with stopping the projectiles? It was pretty cool."

"*Sigh* It's a clan secret Little Squirt, we need to talk somewhere private, follow me I know the best place"

They left the camp and headed to the closest hill, they sat on the broken tree bough.

"As you know the Sharingan has stages of evolution. All of the Uchiha clan members think that it finishes its evolution on third-tomoe. But there is a stage above it, Mangekyō Sharingan" Ryuichi said, activating his Mangekyō Sharingan showing them off for his little sister.

"They look beautiful Aniki, when will I get them?"

"*Sigh* I hope you will never activate your own Mangekyō Sharingan, with their use you slowly turn blind…"

"WAIT! WHAT?! You are getting blind?! Is there a cure?! Does mom know?" shouted Kaname.

"*Shh* It's still a clan secret, don't shout. Yes, mom knows. She had her own eyes activated decades ago, but with her staying at the hospital she didn't have to use them too much. There is no cure, but it's a slow process, don't worry about me, we will figure it out after the war. There is more to those eyes, first, to activate them you need to lose someone close to your heart. Our clan is cursed, many of our ancestors killed their close ones just to get this power, only for it to turn them blind. Every Mangekyō Sharingan has a different appearance and powers, but they are mostly original space-time jutsus, I don't understand all of my powers, but... With my left eye, I can control every chakra projectile my eye saw, with my other eye things are a little tricky, it needs a set of conditions that, when met, turn every genjutsu into reality just for the victim" Ryuichi explained. (AN: Here you go - this will be Kaname's powers soonish :-) )

"That's a little overpowered" Kaname pointed out.

"Every use of those eyes requires a massive amount of chakra. The flaming ribcage you saw was a special technique for those with a set of Mangekyō Sharingan, it acts as an additional shield and weapon for the user."

"Okay, but I promise I will not let you become blind"

"Little Squirt, don't worry about me. Now, what do you know about your Sharingan powers? Did you notice that you can copy all jutsus your enemy does?"

"Yeah, but it's cheating I don't like to do it"

*Flick*

"Ouch! What was that for Baka-Aniki?"

"There is no cheating in war, you do everything you can to survive. Using your enemy techniques against them is an important part of survival. What's more, if your ally wants you to copy their technique, then you should activate your eyes and memorize everything they showed you, you show them some respect that way. Never copy one if your ally doesn't allow you to."

"Does it work for taijutsu and kenjutsu as well? What about clan specific jutsus?"

"Yes, but your technique will be weaker and slower than it's creator. You need to train your body to use their technique. Clan jutsus are hard to copy and control, it's not impossible, but extremely hard. The only thing you can't copy are Kekkei Genkai, like Byakugan or Chakra chains."

"Aniki, can you show me some jutsus?" Kaname pleaded.

"Heh, okay. But first, let's get something to eat."

After three days of having fun with her family and friends, and brutal training under Orochimaru, Kaname stood ready in the middle of the camp with her brother on her right.

"I'm commanding officer of thiss 20 man cell, we're tassked with capturing enemy jinchūriki and desstroying their camp. Follow me."

After wandering one hour away from the camp, they stopped near the edge of the canyon. Orochimaru quickly summoned a big snake, and the team easily got across the ravine.

"Fufufu, that wass a nice idea Kana-chan. Sso easy and ssimple, yet no-one thought of it before, good job." Orochimaru said, jumping from one tree branch to the other.

"Thank you Orochimaru-san" Kaname replied.

"Here iss the plan, I have got a sseal from Jiraya, it will not allow Hachibi to transsform. I want the best five of you with me, the resst will obliterate the camp. We move quickly and quietly. Sstart on my ssignal." Orochimaru instructed the team when they saw the enemy camp.

"Little Squirt, I'm sorry, I am ordered to go with Orochimaru-san, please be careful."

"Begin!" ordered Orochimaru.

Kaname running saw her first victim, an unsuspecting patrol guard with a chūnin vest, she put him under genjutsu and silently eliminated him. The next victim was killed in a patrol tower by a jōnin from Konoha. The back entrance was now unprotected, Kaname silently took care of at least another ten genins and chūnins, then the entire camp was jolted by a large smoke explosion.

"Change of planss, jinchūriki isn't here," said Orochimaru standing on top of a gigantic three-headed snake. (AN: Naruto ch. 115)

'Oh come on! Now the entire camp is on woah-' Kaname couldn't finish her thought, because she had to dodge a dozen flying kunais.

"One of them is here!" someone close to her screamed his lungs out. Kaname swiftly dealt with this young Kumo genin. The next fight with two chūnins stopped her for a little, but with Orochimaru teaching, she killed them in half a minute. Then she felt a chakra powered hit to her head launching her into three enemy tents crashing and tumbling through them. After Kaname released herself from the labyrinth of cloth and ropes she stood up only to see an angry Kumo ninja with a jōnin vest, staring at her and looking like he found his victim for torture.

Kaname with her eyes tried to swiftly find her brother, only to see he was occupied by at least 5 enemy elite jōnins. Orochimaru had half the camp fighting him, Kaname was a little astonished - Orochimaru was winning, but there won't be any help for her from there either.

'Well... f.u.c.k' She thought, readying herself for combat.
