Baby rivalry

Four months later, Kaname was training her chakra control in the Akimichi compound. Kushina's scarlet hair was waving around in the wind when the woman noticed small motes of red flaming chakra being released all around the teen.

"Kushina-sama, now!" Chōza called out.

"Sleep!" Kushina used the seal and caught the falling body.

"Guh, the same mistake?" Kaname woke up five minutes later with a questioning face.

"Yes, you are unconsciously adding your elemental manipulation to your chakra. To control this technique, your chakra must be pure of all contaminations. To be honest, you released gusts of wind as well, are you sure you've only a single chakra nature, Kana-chan?" the Akimichi inquired.

"I never had a chance to check, Chōza-sensei. It doesn't matter, firstly I want to get control over this jutsu. Better chakra control will help me in a long way," Kaname answered.

"Ask Minato-kun, I think he has almost mastered both of his nature's manipulation. He can help you with yours ~ttebane." Kushina joined in.

"Okay, try again, Kana-chan!" the man ordered.

Kaname woke up to see Kushina talking privately with Nonō, the red-haired kunoichi had a big beautiful smile from one ear to the other.

"The ramen is on sale?" Kaname asked only to be jumped upon by a laughing Kushina.

"Hahahaha, I'm pregnant ~ttebane!" Kushina laughed out, catching the teen in a hug and rotating her around the body.

"Wow, congratulations!... Wait a moment, what is this, a baby boom?! Chōza-san, first your wife got pregnant, then Tsume-san, next was aunty Mikoto, Shikaku-san's wife, Inoichi-san's wife and now aunty Kushina. What the heck?!" Kaname counted out, while at the same time, her body was going around in circles of a happy kunoichi.

"Heh, I'm not sure how to answer that, Kana-chan." the man nervously scratched his red-mane on top of his head, "A coincidence? For your information, I heard about a couple more pregnancies. What's more, I hope for a little favor from you. Ask your mother for help in delivering the baby, I want only the best for my wife." he answered.

"Okay, I will talk with her. When is the term?" Kaname's body was still being caught in a raging whirlpool known as Kushina Uzumaki. The girl's voice was being distorted by the doppler effect.

"Give or take five months, early May… Are you sure Kushina-san is alright? I feel sick looking at you going round and round"

"Yeah, give her a minute... or five to calm down."

After fifteen minutes, and Kushina's generous puking in the corner. Kaname was let free, she drunkenly went her way back home. Near the pond, she noticed her brother talking with a blonde-ponytail haired man.

"Hi Aniki, Inoichi-san? What are you doing, anything interesting for me to join?"

"Hello, Kana-chan. Your brother is helping me set up a new barrier around Konoha. It should help us detect any intruders going in or out of the village. The Sharingan, if utilized in the right way, is a very useful tool to find the weak spots in the barriers."

"In exchange, Inoichi-san has taught me some long-range sensing, techniques," Ryuichi added.

"Meh, no pranking? Booooring~. Good luck with your ordeal. Do you know where mommy is at the moment? I need to talk with her."

"She is in the hospital, helping Kakashi-chan," Ryuichi answered.

"Okay, thanks!" Kaname waved them goodbye.

Kaname entered Kakashi's room greeting him, the silver-haired teen was unresponsive.

"At least you could greet me back, Doofus-kun." his eye only twitched at his nickname.

"*Sigh* Okay, give me a moment to talk with my mom. I will make you speak again, either you like it or not!" Kaname left the room and found her mother talking with a patient.

"Hi, Little Butterfly. Came to help?" Sachi asked, noticing her daughter coming towards her.

"Yes and no. First things first, Chōza-san asked you to help with the delivery of his firstborn, somewhen early May, I would like to learn how the work looks like during the labor, all knowledge may be necessary."

"Hmm, I see, I will secure some time for his wife, you can help me, knowing you, you will gobble up the knowledge like a sponge." Her mother answered.

"Now about this silver-haired idiot in the room. Can I break him? Just give me a minute or two. His attitude is starting to piss me off..."

"You understand that his last childhood friend died from his own jutsu, impaling herself on his hand? Be more delicate than normal, please, Little Butterfly."

"Hmm, I will not kill him..."

Kaname entered Kakashi's room again.

"Hey, Kakashi!" Kaname powered her fist with chakra, and hook punched the teen in his face. "Dodge!" Kakashi bounced off the room ceiling and landed in a heap, crashing through the chairs near his bed.

"What the fuck?!" He yelled out.

"Oh? So you do have a tongue? Now, let me take some more anger out. I don't want you to forget how to speak, it's only for your own good…" Kaname's activated her Sharingan.

"Fuck this life! Kill me! I don't have anything left to live for!" Kakashi sadly said.

"Oh, really? Do you think Rin-chan wanted you to die?!" Kaname shouted at him.

"Eh?" He raised his head only to be hit by another punch that sent him crashing through his medical bed.

Kaname caught and raised him by his throat.

"You complete idiot! For what did she give her life?! Was it for you to laze around in self-pity?!" Kaname yelled out with tears in her eyes.

"Guu… Fuck! Release me!" he kicked Kaname back, getting some air in his lungs.

"*Sigh* Do you understand? There is still something for you to do…"

"..."

"Trash-kun." she seethed out.

"I'm sorry, you're right... I'm trash, but I will do the thing that Rin-chan did. I will protect the village." Kakashi stated.

"Good. Did you see that, mom? Shock treatment works the best!" Kaname called out to her worried mother, standing at the doors.

"I said to be delicate Little Butterfly…"

"I didn't burn him! And he is still alive!"

"*Sigh* Whatever…" Sachi left the teens alone.

"Thanks, Kana-chan… For everything. And I'm sorry, I fucked up again," Kakashi bowed his head.

"Now you understand that not only you miss her Doofus-kun? Hmm, small steps, maybe, in a couple of decades, you will grow into a decent human being. Not sure about saving someone close to you, your record doesn't give much hope on this front..." Kaname sarcastically replied.

"No, I will not let anyone else close to me die. I will give my life to protect this village and its citizens, I swear. I will ask Minato-sensei to let me join the Anbu corps."

"Good luck Doofus-kun. I need to go, cya" Kaname waved him goodbye and left.

"*Sigh* Thanks… Bye, Kaname-chan."

Kaname was heading to the Training Grounds 15 for her training with Minato. She was stopped when an Uchiha Matriarch called out to her.

"Kana-chan! Can we speak for a minute?"

"Hi aunty, what's up?"

"I had a little talk with Fugaku. I… *Ehem* WE decided to ask you to be this child godmother. Would you accept?" Mikoto asked, patting her visibly bigger belly.

"Eh? Me? Are you sure? I mean, I'm not your normal kind of an Uchiha. Fugaku-san is certainly opposed to this."

"Yeah, he WAS. Don't worry, now he is only happy to welcome you into the family." the woman smiled at the teen, emphasizing her third word.

"*Pft* Yeah, right. If you want me to become this baby godmother, I can only accept." Mikoto, after hearing her answer, tightly caught her in a hug.

"Thank you! Now, did you hear that Kushi-chan is pregnant? She never told me with whom she is going out, always saying it's a secret, have you got any inside info for your dear aunt? I can bet it's with Minato-kun, but I can't find any proofs."

"Hahaha, yes, I know with whom she is going out. But they want to keep this a secret until the baby is born."

"*Sigh* At least I one-upped Kushi-chan and got you as my baby's godmother, muhahaha~."

"I need to go for my training, we will see each other soon aunty, bye-bye!" Kaname waved her hand.

And so went the next nine calm months of Kaname's life...
