Leaf Monster
"Oh! Hi Kushi-chan! Are you here on a date with your boyfriend?" Sachi asked, standing behind an 18-year-old woman.
"Sachi-taichou!?" Kushina screamed out, her face as red as her hair, the woman instantly inhaled a big bowl of ramen and answered, "It's Minato-kun, do you remember the incident 4 years ago when I was abducted by four Kumogakure ninjas? He was the genin that saved me ~ttebane. But he is not my boyfriend!… yet". She murmured the last word.
"Hmm, what did you say at the end? I didn't hear that, Kushi-chan. Nice to meet you, Minato-kun!" Sachi replied with a knowing smirk turning her head away from extremely red-faced Kushina towards the blonde hunk.
"Pleasure is all mine, thank you for protecting Kushina-chan on her missions." Minato greeted good-naturedly.
"I forgot, these are my kids: Ryuichi and Kaname, say hello." After quick introductions, all five sat together and waited for their ramen bowls or eight in Kushina's case.
"How old are you Kana-chan?" Kushina questioned making the girl sit on her lap.
"Almost seven, I will start shinobi academy next month, Kushina-...sama" Kaname only saw Kushina's head lowering and heard her mutter.
"Damn, now I feel old. ~ttebane"
"Pft! Little Butterfly, you can call her obaa-chan" without trying to hide her laugh, the black-haired woman replied.
"No! Don't do it! Call me... I know Aunty Kushina, ~ttebane!"
"Okay, I will, Kushina-ob-."
"NOOO!"
Minato spat out water which he was drinking, while three Uchiha's had a big smile on their faces.
"Just joking, aunty Kushina!" Kaname laughed out.
"I feared what one Obito can do with his pranks, but there are three more Uchihas like him! Konohagakure won't know what hit them if you four are let loose." Minato reminisced his new genin team.
"You know Obito-senpai, Minato-...san?" asked the little girl.
"Senpai, eh? Let me guess he thaught you some tricks? Two weeks ago, he became my genin student, like aunty Kushina was a student to your mother." Blonde Jōnin explained.
Kaname heard her mother talking again with red-faced aunty, if she heard it right, they were talking about newborns, unfortunately, it wasn't her area of expertise.
"He taught me some pranks, but for most of them, I need chakra, and I am still fighting to not let this stupid leaf fall of my forehead!" Kaname described her predicament.
"Ryu-kun, go and catch a leaf for your sister, I think I know where the problem lies," Minato said.
Ryuichi used
'Wow, he is extremely fast for a genin.' Minato deduced.
Two seconds later, Ryuichi came back with a handful of leaves.
"Kana-chan look at this" Minato took in his hand a white piece of paper and shown it to Kaname.
Kaname's eyes darted through the entire towel, looking for clues, "...And?" she asked, not sure of herself.
Minato took his water bottle and let down a single drop right in the middle of the paper and raised it for Kaname, "Look now."
The little girl was looking hard at the wet spot [AN: Naruto ch.153], and then she had a eureka moment.
"Aniki! I understand now, fast, give me all your leaves!" Kaname shouted happily.
"If I can ask Minato-san, what was the problem?" a smiling black-haired teen asked.
"That's easy, we're taught to circulate chakra in our bodies, it's good for training your chakra reserves. But to hold a leaf, you need to circulate chakra at the spot where the leaf is. Your sister's tried to circulate chakra through her entire body instead of concentrating on this single spot. For how long was she doing it, anyway?" Asked Minato.
"At the least for twelve months, ten hours a day," Ryuichi smirked.
"Wow, she is tough, most children would get bored of it."
"The training became her favorite playtime, Minato-san. She will be a monster in ten years."
Their talk was interrupted by Kaname, "Hahaha! Its time for some fun!" a mad laughing girl bellowed, her entire face encased in leaves.
"Ryu-kun, I am not sure I did the right thing helping her ." Minato got frightened.
"Don't worry, Minato-san, she won't hurt anyone... permanently," Ryuichi assured him.

"I see you're sure of this decision, Kushi-chan?" her team captain whispered in acknowledgment.
"Yes, Sensei. But I need your help, ~ttebane."
"Let me guess, you were giving him hints, but he never asked you to be his girlfriend? Don't worry, Kushi-chan, it runs in the family." Sachi comforted her.
"Eh!? You knew his father!?"
"No, his foster older brother, Dan, couldn't ask Tsunade-san out for a date for almost 3 years. They were dancing around each other like two lovebirds, but a week after they became a pair - Dan got killed. I'm okay with him, hmm, as you wish, I will help you, Kushi-chan. Come to my home tomorrow, I think you will look great in my red lingerie." the older woman winked at her blushing charge.
