That day, Kuroko woke up in an hour, his muscles cramping at each and every part of his body. Little did the boy know that the butterfly had flapped her wings. The question remained: would it be in his favor or not?
...
a few days later.
"Kushina Sensei, how did that bump grow so big? Are you about to burst?" Shizu asked with concerned baby eyes, making Sensie chuckle at that.
"My little Shizu, that's not how it works; my son is in this bump; once he is out, the bump is going to go away too," she said while petting Shizu.
From the expression on her face, it was clear she was trying to barely stop herself from hugging Shizu; she is, after all, the biggest hugger in Konoha.
And that thought of Kushina Sensei in such a situation earned a small laugh from Kuroko, "pfft.".
Her head turned towards Kuroko faster than any predator on earth would have. "Kuroko," she said, her voice taking a dangerous turn. "What are you laughing at, my cute little Genin? Do you want to go eat ramen with me again?"
Itachi, who was beside Kuroko, quickly used all the ninja knowledge he had earned up until now to slowly position himself beside Shizu.
"What are you talking about, sensei? I wouldn't dare." The Hyuga's voice rushed through, in case she really forced them to eat 5 cups of ramen. He did die before Naruto was even born.
He would rather be ACE again and face Minato, then go on a ramen lunch with Kushina sensei.
"What will be his name, Sensie?" Itachi came to my rescue, as always.
Tears left Kuroko's eyes. 'My besto-friendo'.
The question lingered in the air for a few moments. Sensie's eyes took on a longing and dreamy look. She had been waiting for her son for nine months of her life. She hadn't ever thought that having a son would make her cherish him so much. The classmates made fun of her when she was younger, though she did teach them a lesson. At the end, she was left with almost zero friends in Ninja School; all she ever wanted was to get recognized.
When she got caught by the Kumo Shinobi, despair was the only emotion going through her head. Yes, she did leave her hair as a clue, but she never thought somebody would care enough to save the container of pure malice known as the nine-tailed fox.
But he did, with shining blue eyes and striking yellow hair, the same age as her. Someone she had never thought would come for her. On that night of the full moon, she felt safe in his arms, safer than anywhere in this entire world.
The monster's container—that's what she was—and yet she found family, so she supported Minato in everything he did.
And he did it; he achieved everything there ever was to achieve. He became the fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf at such a young age.
she smiled.
"Naruto." She looked into her Genin's eyes, yet one could tell her mind was focused elsewhere. "That's my son's name, and he will be the happiest person in the entire world.".
...
"Right up your order, sir." The chief of the famous Dango shop near the Uchiha clan residence came and delivered it to the young trio.
The famous trio of the leaf were sitting in the dango shop eating Itachi's favourite. In the original, he shared it with Izumi, but they hadn't even seen her until now.
"Doofus, will you finally tell us why you have been so goddamn tired since some days ago?" With a mouthful of dango in her mouth, Shizu unbashedly continued, "Even I defeated you the next day in spar."
Her shamelessness knew no bounds, even laughing with the food already in her mouth.
"It's at these times that I feel Kuroko is a better friend." Itachi pushed his seat close to the Hyuga, clearly bothered by the shameless nature of the Inuzuka teammate.
"Blah blah emo," Shizu said in her shameless act, simultaneously angering both her teammates.
"You know, Shizu, my muscles aren't as cramped up anymore; how about we have a rematch?" In a sinister tone, he continued, "I am sure the results will be quite different from last time."
Before Shizu could think of the words to weasel herself out of the situation, after all, nobody wants to have a spar with a pissed off Kuroko. His taijutsu was better than Itachi's and her own; he could dispel Itachi's ominous genjutsu before they took effect; he could even perform C-rank Ninjutsu's; and his engenious new jutsu's were hell to deal with.
You can have a fight with anyone in Konoha, but not Kuroko. Shizu had seen it herself; a pissed-off Kuroko (he was thinking how to change the plot) beat her and Itachi in a one-on-one back-to-back.
Kuroko in a battle is a far different beast from daily life; if there was a word for it, she would say, Anhilattor'.
Her thoughts were interrupted as her white-eyed teammate quickly got up from his seat, leaving his dango unfinished, and rushed in some unknown direction.
" Kuroko?" Itachi started running after him, and so did she.
In a few seconds, they reached a hot spring.
"Kuroko, why did you bring us to a hotspring?" Itachi's question was answered by the direction Kuroko was pointing.
A man was sitting across the edge of the hotspring, clearly looking at naked women and smiling like a pervert. He had long, unruly white hair, red garments with chain mail, and a huge scroll at his back.
"What a pervert!" Inuzuka's disgusted expression was blatant.
"Shush Shizu" Kuroko looked at them, and thats when she noticed he was smiling ear to ear. "Oh man, this is it, thats him."
"Him?" Itachi inquired.
"The man who had a major part in quelling the second ninja war, one of the pillars of the leaf village and arguably the strongest alive,The teacher of the current Hokage of the hidden leaf, one of the sannin, the toad sannin, Jiraiya.".
"Oh, a admirer, is it?" an amused voice came from behind them,'when did he come up behind us'.
"Indeed, here I am, Jiraiya, the toad sage."
The three turned backwards to see a behemoth of a man staring at them.
"Ha ha ha ha." laughter spread across.
The butterfly had flapped her wings, and perhaps it had brought a tornado with it.
