-Outside of Konohagakure no Sato, the forest-
Hari returned from two missions spanning for two months. She finished writing the reports and sent it off with her serval summon. Benitsuki is now with her after escaping from the Natioseirei clan home and was lonely without Hari.
Hari had heard what happens in Konoha while she was gone. The Third Hokage Sarutobi died while fighting Orochimaru who invaded Konoha. The Sand was stopped by the Konoha nins. Naruto and Jaraiya went to get Tsunade as the Fifth Hokage.
Hari remembered when she first met Jaraiya after Naruto told her how he managed snatched him as his master. Her lips twitched in amusement as she recalled that she threatened him if he ever being pervert when Naruto used his Sexy Technique again. She will stomp his balls into pudding and knew seen anyone who turned into cracked white granite so fast and ran quickly that it left the dust image of itself.
She heard Naruto left the village for training with Jaraiya for few years. Sasuke were being trained under Itachi and Kakashi. Sakura got out of the fangirl mode after the Chunin Exams and got serious by polishing her skills that she neglected during her days of being a fangirl. She is now being trained under Tsunade.
Hari heard from Kujiuta that her brother is training. She thought he might need get out of Konoha for few years for training to improve his bond with his partner that came to him the day Hari and Harry came to the Elemental Countries. She decided to head to the Konoha Cemetery to pay the respects for Hiruzen Sarutobi. She stood in front of his grave and placed her favorite flowers found in the Sand Country. She prayed for him and headed to the Hokage Residence to talk with Tsunade.
Hari stood in front of the door and knocked. She wait until she heard the soft 'Come in'. She opened the door and looked at Tsunade, a woman with blonde hair tied in two ponytails and dressed in sleeveless kimono-style gray blouse, dark blue pants, and black sandals with heels.
She sat down on the chair and look at Tsunade with serious expression on her face. She made the wait gesture with her hand and got up to knock the wall in ANBU morse code which they got it by casting the jutsu to prevent anyone from coming through the door or listening in even the ANBU.
Hari sat down again and took a deep breath.
"Tsunade-sama, I came to you for the permission to leave Konoha for few years to train my brother." Hari talk calmly with steel edge in tone. "if you are going to ask me about how to deal with magic training as well, it's simple we can leave the Elemental Countries to go to Japan for extra training. Hikaru and I need extra training we need to get to deal with our enemies at the Outside in politics and fighting."
Tsunade can see her point of view after learning from Shizune that her brother were abused by his relatives and already recovered from the abuse by help of Yamanaka and Shizune to recover mentally, physically, and emotionally process. Tsunade and Shizune noticed in the reports that Hari might have a unknown disease and she regularly kept escaping from the hospital, even slipping past the well-known medic Tsuande. Tsuande prayed one day, Hari might recovered from whatever is bothering her.
Hari and Tsuande finalized the plan as they finished talking and Hari head to the small home. She crashed into the bed and fell asleep.
Later the week, the Naitoseirei clan Elders and Tsunade made a agreement and allowed Hari and Hikaru to leave the village for traveling to train depending on the timeline for training. Hari stood by the gate and Hikaru came, carrying his backpack. She smiled at him as they set off their journey.
-Two years passed-
The twins were settling down to enjoy the short break in the Land of the Wind and resting in the modest inn. Two years of traveling have improved their skills and have picked up information along the way even the time was spent in school to learn more. Hikaru's bond with a animal partner which is a huge German Shepherd named Hiro.
Hari had Hikaru go to the only school in Japan that offer the education to magical creatures, shinobi-in-training, witches and wizards, and youkai. The school had taught Hiakru in politics(useful when Hikaru become Lord of his House), lessons like math and writing along with Runes, Summoning Arts, Understanding of Magical Creatures, and subjects used in magical and mundane origins. Hari learnt along with her brother.
They changed in appearance, personality, and skills which could shock the hell of the teachers and students in Hogwarts.
Hikaru have changed a lot since thanks to his sister since he was eleven. He used to be from scared and naive boy who was starved for affection to confident, politically-wise, and handsome teenager.
Hari changed little bit in personality. She is now more like Hikaru and more confident in herself.
Hikaru is wearing short sleeve mesh shirt, pale red sleeveless jacket, pale tan loose pants, black shinobi shoes, and black wristbands on both wrists. He wore the small hoop earring in left ear and chain necklace with mini summoning scroll. His hair, still messy and spiky, grew to mid-back and is tied in ponytail and locks frame both sides of face. Another marking were added which are gold stripes on his wrists. His body is slightly muscular and lanky.
He is now tanned from spending time under sun and a scar on his right side of neck from the battle with nuke-nin six months ago.
Hari changed, too. She is more confident and often more cheerful these days.
She is wearing a wrapped dark blue garment from the bust area to thighs that showed her shoulders and arms, red rope-like belt tied several times around under the bust to stomach, knee-length black leggings, light blue detached sleeves, and halter style mesh shirt under the wrapped garment. Her hair is pulled into messy bun with small piece of silk rope tied around the bun. Bangs was swept to the left and locks frame both side of face.
She grew a bit in height and chest area.
Hari put the dishes neatly near the corner of the table. She looked at her brother who grow quite well with a warm smile on her face and went to sleep on the bed. Hikaru slept on the second bed.
Hari woke up at one o'clock in the morning and sighed quietly as she headed to the baloney to look up to the stars.
She glanced back at her brother who is sleeping. She is thankful that her brother didn't find out about her condition. She could feel it is worsing by year by year but still is oddly healthy due to the demonic chakra.
She gor up and crawl into her bed, falling asleep.
-Konohgakure no Sato-
The twins stood in front of the red gaint of their home. Hari smiled and Hikaru grinned as they hand over their IDs for proof. They decided to stay at Hikaru's apartment as Hari sent off the scroll to Tsunade, informing her they are here by Hedwig who were with them the entire journey. Hari help the female snowy owl by using the permanent cooling charm if they are in the warm climate and Hedwig appreciated the gesture very much.
The twins relaxed as they went to their own beds to get some rest.
