Hari whimpered slightly when they only looked at her nervously. She took a breath when she realized that the nervousness stemmed from not knowing how to deal with someone on the verge of tears. She focused on her breathing she couldn't break down, she needed to Get them to take her to Kushina. She could't lose everyone in her family, not this time.
"Please, I want to tell her what happened, I need to be there to know she's safe. to know that she's alive, I can't lose her too."
"We'll take you kid, can you keep up?"
"I think so, I'm not tired anymore so I'd do better than before."
"Alright. Do your best and tell us if it becomes to much."
Hari nodded her head and they took off quickly. It was difficult but she managed for quite a while apparently when she nearly collapsed they were only three miles from the village. Hari relaxed at the knowledge that they were almost there. Jiraiya carried her the rest of the way and to the Hokage Tower. She was set in one of the seats to rest a bit more while they gave their report.
"Who is this young lady you brought with you?" the aged man questioned curiously.
Hari looked up and smiled slightly, despite what she knew would be the man's reaction.
"I am Hari Uzumaki, one of the sole survivors of the massacre of Uzushiogakure." her voice was strained but she took a breath and continued. "I was on my way here to find my cousin Kushina When they found me, I need to talk to Kushina, please, sir."
"Kushina is currently residing in the Senju compound, Tsunade can show you where it is."
"Alright, I'll Show the Gaki." Tsunade sighed, sounding slightly exasperated.
When the group was dismissed Tsunade led Hari to the compound and into the home where Tsunade told her Kushina resided. Tsunade left her just inside after calling to Kushina about a guest. Kushina Stepped around the corner and froze.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Hari, My mother's name was Yuri."
"Aunt Yuri? They said aunt Yuri was taken from us by some old man... Are you really Aunt Yuri's Daughter?"
"Yes. Mother died when i was a baby, she stepped in front of an attack for me... and the old man, i believe i know who you're talking about, he was trying to manipulate me for a long time, he even put me with people who loathed my mother just so I'd be 'Mold-able'."
Kushina had a look of fury, Mostly because she could tell that Hari was telling the truth about what Kushina heard.
"Someone gave him what he deserved though. He's dead. Too bad he died looking like a Martyr..." Hari muttered.
Kushina wrapped the girl into a tight hug which was returned like a child that hadn't received a hug in her life, which made Kushina furious.
'It's too bad the bastard is dead cause I would have tortured the man for what he put her through.' was the thought that flashed through Kushina's mind as she held Hari Tightly.
Hari had been living in the Senju compound with Kushina for a week when the Third Hokage entered and told the two girls they would be entered into the academy and started classes on Monday. Monday couldn't come fast enough for either girl as they stood in front of the doors of the class they would study with. The teacher called them in and when they were told to introduce their selves Kushina Panicked.
"MY NAME IS KUSHINA UZUMAKI, TEBANE." she gasped slightly and clapped her hands over her mouth tightly.
"Ano... I'm Hari Uzumaki, Tebane..." Hari winced as the tick popped up in her nervousness as well.
"What's with the hair? It's like a tomato. That's what we'll call you two. TOMATOES TOMATOES~"
Hari glared and moved fast with Kushina by her side, the two boys that teased them found themselves on the ground clutching their heads as the girls fist came around.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! Fight on your own time, don't waste mine. Uzumakis, Find places to sit."
"Hai." they said and sat in empty seats in the back.
It was lunch when they tried again, the teacher had left first and that seemed to give the boys ample reason to tease them about their hair. Hari brought down a brunette boy and Kushina a raven haired boy. as the pair beat up the boys two people were laughing at the hilarity of seeing two boys getting hit by girls. Hari snapped her head up to a bright blonde with sky blue eyes and glared, while Kushina was glaring at a sandy blonde boy with gold flecked gray eyes.
"What are you looking at, DATTEBANE?" they snapped in unison and both boys twisted around fast, going silent. though the blonde peeked back at Hari quite a few times even after the whole debacle settled down and class started up again.
