The Senju Brothers

.

Watching her two boy's interact with one another, Tsunade can only wonder how in the world this all happened, and that maybe she should have stayed far, far away from the liquor.

Not that she doesn't love them to pieces or anything, but, but they should have been Dan's.

Xanxus should have had a good father, not a traitor to the village that she'd made the mistake of a drunken one night with, only a few months before she met Dan. Tsuna, well

Tsuna's father tries and he clearly loves him, but it's damn obvious Jiraiya isn't really father material. That was another mistake right there, victory sex after the end of the Third War that she'd only really helped in by developing medicine. Though she will never, ever proclaim her boys mistakes. The best kind of conciliation prizes for grand mistakes. A victory in themselves.

Tsunade might be mother material, but hell, her boys are the most trying children she's ever met.

She'd made the mistake of not having a name ready for her first baby boy, and he'd been entitled 'Xanxus' during her drug induced stupor.

Xanxus had at least known Dan, despite the small amount of time they'd been able to spend together. Orochimaru had watched from afar, not wanting to get involved with the child he'd helped create. After all, Orochimaru was not a 'people person'; something that carried over to Xanxus. Though the boy did make a special exception for Tsunade, and occasionally Shizune and Tsuna.

"Mama?"

Tsuna is quick to climb into her lap, thumb jammed in his mouth. The both of them ignore the furious explosions of burning coquelicot coloured fire that sets the world ablaze.

She has no idea just where Xanxus' unique fire bloodline has come from given that Senju blood favours water and earth, but she's made damn sure Orochimaru hasn't heard so much as a whisper about it. Jiraiya's been a big help there.

No matter how many times Tsunade has pinned her eldest down with a bar of soap in hand, he's never stopped swearing. Nowadays, he spits as many bubbles as he does curses, because she's sure as hell never stopped trying to clean up his language.

"Fucking trash! I'll send your fucking useless bastards right back where you came from, you're going in fucking matchboxes!"

Sitting in her lap, Tsuna doesn't so much as flinch, watching Xanxus work with her wide hazel eyes. Evidentially Xanxus' brilliant red comes from her line too, probably the same genetic mishap that gave her Great Uncle Tobirama his crimson irises. The spikes are all Tobirama's too, though the colouring Orochimaru's.

Tsunade has no idea where Tsuna's chocolate hair has come from, but chakra reacts with genetics in mysterious ways.

Proof in point, the mutation of Byakugan into Sharingan, though both Hyūga and Uchiha deny such a thing venomously.

"You fuckers won't lay a fucking hand on my Madre!" A strange nickname for mother, but Tsunade doesn't care. Her boy's love her, and that's what important.

"What's the matter, Tsu-chan?" Tsunade asks, running her hands though Tsuna's incredibly fluffy hair, quite in love with the feeling. Even her hair isn't this nice.

"I love you," Tsuna says quite seriously, and Tsunade cannot help but to scoop him up, spinning the little child around as she gets to get feet and smiling down at him.

Not a second later, Xanxus' arms are around her in a crushing hug of his own, and honestly he's fifteen and really what food is this boy sneaking to already be taller than both herself and Orochimaru? He doesn't even seem to be slowing down in his evident growth, and Tsunade wonders if he'll grow as tall as her grandfather.

"Tch, I won't let any of those bastards touch you."

Just this once, she won't wash his mouth out with soap.

.

And no, there's an eyelash in her eye, she's not crying at all.

.

Because a lot of people wanted to see the KHR cast in Naruto, but I refuse to ruin Kyōya's spotlight in Uchiha Kyōya. So here we are. Once again, I'll be updating this as inspiration strike, I've got no set plan really.
