Uchiha's Butterfly

Chapter 28 - Soaking with blood

The battle of Tenchi Bridge started with a full charge of Iwagakure forces, they paid a massive price for their push. Their way was littered with seals, they exploded, cut down, burned or poisoned everyone that came too close. A small army of 270 troops was mutilated, as casualties started reaching fifty, their commander ordered a stop, for the last push towards the bridge, they were to watch their steps and move carefully.

That gave Kaname and her friends an additional ten minutes before the clash. Just a moment before the first enemy jumped out into the open field, Kaname acted. With a mad dash towards her enemy, she impaled him with katana right into the heart, instantly ending his life. From nearby Kaname was jumped upon by two other enemies, before they got close, they froze, their entire bodies were tied up with black shadow, Yugao jumped in ending their lives.

With every enemy killed a two more showed up, Kaname that stood between Yugao and Takeshi in a distance of ten steps, was flooded with enemies, soon she lost the visual of her friends. She didn't stop fighting, she danced between one enemy and the other, dodging slashes and projectiles. She burned, put under genjutsu or cut down anyone that came too close to her.

"*Argh*!" Kaname got slashed deeply in her back, she put her enemy under genjutsu and replaced herself with her clone, that was hiding nearby, with a <Kawarimi no Jutsu>. Kaname quickly put her left hand on her wound and closed the cut. 'Makeshift, but it will hold for now, and here they come again...' she thought sliding underneath a rock bullet heading her way, a slash to her hand came next, Kaname pirouetted dodging the strike, at the same time, that she was rotating herself, she used her sword trying to amputate enemy's leg, her attack was repelled by a rock pillar growing out of the earth.

'Shit! Most of them are Earth users, let's try his trick' Kaname's sword edge started heating up, jumping over her assailant's kick, Kaname slashed, again rock pillar rose to the defense, her sword was slowed down, but this time it went through beheading her enemy.

Soon Kaname was surrounded by five enemies, 'Okay, that's too much' she thought. She threw ten slips of papers above her head and exchanged her position with another clone of hers. Her enemies, without knowing that they're attacking the clone, rushed at it from five different sides at the same time. Kaname got confirmation when her clone dispelled, she activated her exploding seals that were left behind.

"This is their seal master! I saw her activating the last explosion! Commander ordered to bring her to him!" shouted out Iwa jōnin.

Kaname was attacked by three chūnins, she dodged crouching under their attacks. Unluckily she didn't see jōnin using a jutsu from behind her, she heard a sound of breaking bones, then she felt a sharp pain coming from her t.h.i.g.hs.

"Her legs are broken, take her to the commander!" enemy jōnin ordered.

Three chūnins instead approaching Kaname, attacked the jōnin.

'F.u.c.k! It hurts! Good those idiots looked me in the eyes' Kaname thought. As the enemy fought against each other, she started mending her bones. Kaname used a <Chakra Scalpel> and cut her skin where the swelling was the biggest. After thirty seconds her bones were in their default place, 'Don't have the time for a full recovery, let's improvise'.

Two minutes later Kaname stood up staggering on her feet, only to feel a kunai pressed at her heart.

"I don't know what are you, no one stands up so fast after their t.h.i.g.h bones are broken. Stop resisting!" said a tired enemy jōnin holding her body from the back.

'Mother f.u.c.ker! No rest for the wicked... This is going to hurt…' Kaname had an insane idea.

"Sorry mister, I'm just an iryōnin. But I have got one more trick upon my sleeve. You shouldn't come so close to a medic, do you know why? We know where to hit a human body to inflict the greatest or minimal damage" Kaname took her katana in a reverse grip and aimed.

"What are you doing?!" shouted out a jōnin.

Kaname shoots her sword into her belly right between the liver and her heart, aiming it a little higher on the exit. Her katana went out of her back missing all important organs and bones aiming right at the enemy's heart. (AN: Is this even possible in a medical sense? I know there is some space there, but it should be barely enough :-))

"*Guh*" jōnin got impaled, "You're a f.u.c.k.i.n.g monster" were his last words. His body slid down Kaname's sword dead.

'F.u.c.k… I need to heal myself' Kaname thought gently taking her sword out of her body.

Throughout the silent battlefield, someone shouted out "The black-haired Konoha ninja, we got your friends! If you don't show up in a minute we will butcher them all!"

'*Sigh* I'm almost out of chakra, I need to stall for time, reinforcements should be on their way…' Kaname easily closed her own cleanly inflicted wound. But her legs were still barely moving, she started to stagger her way to the origin of the voice.

Yugao saw something she would never forget, when all hope was lost, her being tied up by thick ropes and having a kunai placed on her neck, her youngest friend, eleven years old black-haired girl came to her rescue. Without a word, an army of enemies backed off creating a straightway for Kaname to walk. Her body was soaked with the blood of her enemies and her own, Yugao easily discerned three-black tomoes on her bright red eyes. In the young swordswoman eyes, she looked like a goddess of war. She walked inside the enemy camp slowly, without an ounce of fear. Her enemies confirmed Yugao's ideas, she heard many whispers of her enemies talking about a "Blood Demon", "Princess of terror" or "The Zombie of Konoha".

'Okay, Kaname you showed up, walk slowly but surely, you don't want your enemies to think you are weak. What now?' Kaname thought.

The way her enemies created for her brought her right to their commander and her bound friends. The enemy jōnin was close to forty years old, with a bald and scarred head, his face had a small smirk. He had the highest and most muscular body in this entire army, around his back small dark-orange bees.

"Welcome young ninja, thank you for showing up yourself," said the Kamizuru clan member.

"Yeah, whatever, you will kill us all either way," Kaname replied.

"Aniki! Let me get her, I love to show kunoichi how a real man looks like. I love to see the fear in their eyes just before I plow through them!" shouted out one ninja looking at Kaname's eyes.

"Anyone else wants to show ME how a real man looks like?!" Kaname yelled putting the rapist under genjutsu. Before any of his friends, reacted he took out a kunai and slashed himself on his crotch and bit through his tongue.

"This posture… this face… Do I know you?" said the enemy leader, not even minding another victim.

"Nah, I don't remember anyone as heinous as you" Kaname replied with an Uchiha™ smirk.

"Kid, how are you related to Uchiha Asato?"

"What? How do you know that name?!" Kaname's had hope that her father is still somewhere out there.

"Heh, I'm the one who ended his life. What? Are you his daughter? How the time flies… Hahaha"

"F.u.c.k you... Maybe I don't have any chakra left, but I have a question for you. Have you noticed, that you have three additional new ninjas in this riffraff?" a loud explosion was heard south of them, it killed ten closeby Iwagakure ninjas.

"Okay, my mistake 2 additional clones of my, of course under <Henge>-" Kaname was interrupted by another *Boom*.

"Can you guess where is the last one, you son of a bitch?" Kaname's smile went to her eyes.

The enemy commander guessed right, he tried to jump away, but the explosion right behind his back caught up with him. It sent him flying through his subordinates, after ramming ten of them and killing one unlucky ninja, he slowly stood up.

"Damn, I forgot. This tenacity is really familiar. Pity for you, my bees took the front of the explosion. I think it's only right for you to die the same way your old man did. Hehehe, from now on I think I should change my nickname to Uchiha Squasher <Doton: Daichi Ganshō>!"

"Nooo!" both Takeshi and Yugao screamed, while two earthen walls were getting close to Kaname.

"Sorry," Kaname said seeing her friends scared faces. But before she got killed, she noticed a small three-pronged kunai near her feet that just landed. With a double flash of yellow light, she found herself in a hug from Maki. A second later her friends and jōnin commander were safe but still bound by ropes near her.

"Eh? Maki-chan? What the f.u.c.k happened?" she asked her crying friend.

"Don't worry Kana-chan, I will take care of everything. Good job not letting them get through the bridge" Minato said.

"Thanks? Are you sure you don't need help? There is a lot of them out there"

"Hehe, don't worry. I need to go now, see you later" he waved her goodbye and left with a flash of yellow light.

"Okay Maki, stop it, I'm alright, just a little tired. Mostly it's not even my own blood" she lied to her friend looking for any wounds on her body.

"Just let me out of these ropes Maki, and I will show Kaname what I think about her heroics!" Yugao said.

"Hahaha, let's wait with letting Yugao-chan free"

Ten minutes later Minato returned, his body full of splattered blood of his enemies.

"Where is Kana-chan?" he asked.

"*Sigh* She is taking a long bath in a closeby river rinsing the blood of her body, at least that is what she said" Yugao responded.

"Yeah, and why do I feel chakra being used from there?" Minato asked.

"*Sigh* that's why I know she is lying about taking a bath, I gave her a soldier pill…"

"Okay, Maki-chan go there and check what the heck she is doing"

"Yes, sir!" Maki jumped into action.

Soon the silence was broken by a loud scream of Maki's voice.

"What the f.u.c.k?!"

"Hehe, busted?" Kaname said.

"*Growl* Why did you cut your leg open?!" Maki shouted at her.

"*Sigh* Both my t.h.i.g.h bones were broken, I mended them in a makeshift way, now I'm repairing my shoddy job"

"Okay, we will have to talk later about self-inflicting wounds ... Finish everything and come back. Minato-san is looking for you"

"Sure, give me three more minutes!"

"Kana-chan, nice for you to join us. Your legs are okay now? Good. I caught and killed almost everyone that was left. You see the moving bag there? It's a gift for you for a job well done" Minato said.

When Kaname opened the bag, she saw gagged and tied up enemy commander looking at her with fear in his eyes.

"Hahaha, thank you Minato-san"

"Yeah, he talked something about Uchiha Zombie Bitch. Any ideas who he meant? Do you know each other?"

"Hmm, let's say we have little familial ties, he killed my father"

"Ouch, sorry. It's looking rather bleak for him. You can do anything you want with him, I don't care"

"Thank you," Kaname said taking her enemy by his collar and dragging him away.

"You killed my father, you tried to kill my friends, nearly killed me. What should I do with you? Don't bother using any jutsu I put a small seal on your back prohibiting you from using chakra…" Kaname said after ungagging him.

"Kill me! I don't want to finish in Konoha's T&I department. As one ninja to the other, show some honor and do it swiftly, as I did for your father and almost did for you!" he shouted at her.

"No, I'm not a monster that will kill defenseless opponents… I want you to remember. Every time you will catch an enemy think what is right, not what were your orders or what is easy. If I ever see you again as my enemy I will butcher you! Get out of my sight!" Kaname cut the rope that tied his legs and left.

"Sorry Minato-san, I couldn't kill someone so powerless, it's not my style"

"Hahaha, you don't understand Kana-chan. It was a test, I was checking if the war created another heartless killing machine. I'm really impressed with you" he said petting her head.

"Thanks, now how did it go up north?"

"*Sigh* I'm not sure, the last report I got was about a bloodbath and an insane amount of casualties. But they have got Orochimaru-san there, I'm pretty sure we will win"

"Damn, I think I need to go back to help the medics there, without me they run around like a headless chicken. Can you teleport me there?"

"No, I want you to rest for at least a day. We will talk tomorrow, even if I teleport you I'm putting a ban on you taking part in combat, you did enough for all us today"

"Okay..." Kaname sadly replied, "Don't look at me like that Maki, I'm not going anywhere without you"

"*Hmph* Don't even try"

When Kaname hit her wooden cot she instantly fell asleep. The next day she was woken up by Anko.

"Get up, you m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t! There is an important meeting you are called for" she said.

"*Sigh* Please, give me 1440 minutes more" Kaname pleaded.

"*Pft* Yeah right, I left you some clean clothes. I will wait outside, don't make me come here again"

"Okay... Give me a moment to wake up"

They entered the command tent, in the middle of it they saw Orochimaru and Minato debating. Minato's look gave Kaname the warning something is extremely wrong.

"Oh! Kana-chan, come in. I have two good news and two bad ones. Firstly you don't have to go to Kikyō Pass anymore, the battle is won. For the bad news, only a single boy and Orochimaru-san survived on our side, the shitstorm, of losing almost six hundred ninjas, will be massive"

"What about the enemy? Did their forces retreat?" Kaname asked.

"After lossing my entire army, I sstoped holding back Kana-chan. They losst almosst double that. The combat areass along the entire border are abating" Orochimaru responded.

"*Sigh* So many lives lost in a single day… Okay, what's the last good and bad news?"

"You made a name for yourself, we sent a report to Hokage-sama with a small recommendation from me, Orochimaru-san, and Jiraya-san. I would like to congratulate you on becoming a Tokubetsu Jōnin. As for the bad one… please sit down"

Kaname saw Minato's face scrunching in sorrow.

"Yesterday my student Kakashi brought my old team to attack Kannabi Bridge. The report said it should be undefended, unfortunately, the report was wrong. When I went to save you, Kakashi and Obito fought against their opponents. *Sigh* I'm not sure how to say it…" Minato continued.

"Obito died, he was mangled by falling boulderss" Orochimaru finished.

Kaname bolted from the duo, heading to the medic tent.
