The emerald like qualities shone with delight as the individual once again returned to his home, this time he had no plans on leaving either. He had missed Konoha and if the Hokage hadn't ordered him to go across the veil and learn how to control his powers he would have never left for as long as he had. Apparently, across the veil he was known as Harry Potter and his birth mother had given her life so he could be transported to safety and for the first fifteen years of his life he was as safe as could be in a ninja village and was raised by the Yuuhi family with one of the infamous Ice Queens of Konoha as his big sister.

When Harry, he had decided to honor his birth parents and go by the name they had chosen for him, turned fifteen, he had met Albus Dumbledore and learned of the strange powers that he possessed and only slightly experimented with as he hadn't wanted to screw up his body. Dumbledore had come to offer training and when he was pressured, he had given up the true reason he had crossed the veil. With the prophecy hanging over his head and the fact that Harry and Hiruzen's honor demanded no less, there was really no other choice. So, with the blessings of the Hokage and a tearful goodbye from his sister, Harry Potter-Yuuhi returned to the country that he was born in and fought to defeat the evil that was spreading.

For two long years he fought and trained under the tutelage of Albus Dumbledore and while he found out that he was slightly manipulated into becoming a martyr by the old man, he succeeded in defeating Voldemort and his band of followers. And then, Harry left and avoided the clamoring of the masses that wanted either his support or to have his babies. Since the number of those that knew about the veil was down by one and Harry hadn't made any true connections with those in Britain, he left with a clear conscious and a trunk full of books to study and help those that were born with the same powers. Now, he was half a mile away from the gates of Konoha and it took every ounce of his occlumency training not to break out in a run.

A flash of flame briefly attracted Harry's attention before Fawkes landed on his shoulder. "Hello Fawkes. Did you want to enter the village with me?" Fawkes had followed Harry to the edge of the veil and traveled with him for most of the way. He wasn't Harry's familiar like he had been Dumbledore's, but the phoenix had told the young man that his tears would be freely given to him for a long life and that there would be a surprise for Harry in the coming months.

"Halt! State your business in the village," The two eternal gate guardians said as he approached the entrance.

Smiling at even this bit of familiarity, Harry withdrew his passport and gave it to the two men. "Chunin Harry Potter-Yuuhi back from my S-Rank mission."

"Welcome back Harry, Konoha has missed you," One of the guards said and although they were supposed to say that to all of those that returned from a long mission, Harry couldn't help but to feel as if it were a personal message.

"The Hokage will see you now," The secretary smiled and waved Harry inside the office. Hiruzen Sarutobi looked just as he did almost three full years ago when Harry had left the village. He still had the all the wrinkles and his beard on his face and his eyes still held the same amount of wisdom that they seemed to always hold.

"Harry," The hokage smiled, "It is good to finally see you back in this village. I trust you are here to stay?"

"Yes Lord Hokage, my mission is complete and the only one that knew I was coming back through the veil is my noble friend here," Harry motioned to Fawkes on his shoulder who trilled to the Hokage in greeting. "He was Albus' companion and since Albus has passed on, Fawkes felt like stretching his wings. He won't be with me often, but if somehow I run into a poison that is stronger that what I have antibodies built up for, I can call Fawkes for help."

"Well, I assume you have your report?"

"Of course Lord Hokage," Harry said as he pulled out the scroll that contained his many paged report. "And you'll be happy to know that I brought many books from my homeland back, so there is no reason for anyone to cross the veil again."

"This is good Harry. I won't keep you from your sister any longer as I have no desire to be the victim of one of her genjutsus again," The elderly Sarutobi suppressed a shudder. Kurenai's illusions were the stuff of legend and his professional curiosity had him go under one just to see. He still had nightmares from that instance. "You'll be happy to know that she achieved Jounin status and has her own genin team. I believe that they occupy training ground 8 around this time."

"Thank you Lord Hokage," Harry bowed and then turned to Fawkes as he walked out of the room. "Well Fawkes do you want to meet my sister before you head out?"

The hokage smiled as Harry walked out of the office, happy that another one of his ninjas returned safely to the village after such a long and dangerous mission. Unsealing the report, Hiruzen then wondered if it was too late to extend Harry's mission until he retired as the mound of paperwork was staggering. Sighing he removed the first sheet and his eyes started to tear up at the information that was on it. Harry was now his new favorite ninja as he had just delivered the secret to defeating paperwork.

Leaping across the rooftops and then the trees as the village gave way to the training grounds, Harry began suppressing his chakra signature which was a technique usually taught to those only that made it to jonin or in war time. However, with his occulmency he had learned a head of time. He landed on a tree just outside of the clearing and there was no doubt in his mind that this was his sister's group. Her messy black hair so similar to his that when they were younger it was impossible to tell if they were blood related or not.

Harry watched the group as they performed various exercises and he was impressed at the prebuilt tracker team that his sister had landed. He knew the Inuzuka personally as he had graduated with Hana, who was Kiba's older sister and knew of Shino due to having a team member from that particular clan. Of course, everyone knew of the Hyuga clan and their pupil-less eyes, so the last member of the team only had her name hidden from Harry at the moment. He had planned to stay hidden for a few more minutes, but when the Hyuga activated her dojutsu and Harry did nothing to hide, he was called out by and irate Kurenai.

"Are the males of the village still bugging you big sister? Do I need to take care of them?" Harry asked as he dropped into the clearing with a smile.

Kurenai looked at the newcomer in confusion for a moment before she recognized those emerald eyes that had the same jewel like intensity as hers, while his hair, which had been tied in a ponytail, was just as wild as hers. That damnable grin was what truly reminded her of who stood before her. Kurenai, dropping all her usual airs of being an ice queen launched herself quickly at the newcomer shocking her genin.

Kurenai crashed into Harry with enough force that it was a good thing Harry had kept up his training and had stuck to the ground with his chakra. "What's up sis?" Harry asked, his grin growing wider at Kurenai's hug. He had made a few connections while in England and all had thought that he needed a hug, but none could beat Kurenai's to him.

"I can't believe your back!" Kurenai practically shouted. "When did you get back?"

"In the nations, a few hours ago, in Konoha, I've been back for about an hour. I had to go report to the Hokage and then he pointed me here to find you. Something about how your genjutsus are rather disturbing?" Fawkes had let the two siblings catch up for a minute, but as an immortal bird he was rather impatient to explore the continents. "Oh right, Kurenai this is Fawkes. My lifeline so to speak and he wanted to see the elemental countries. He wanted to meet you before going on his adventure." With that Fawkes flashed out surprising four of the five individuals inside the training ground.

"It seems that you have quite a few stories you need to share with me," Kurenai said clutching his arm. It was then that she remembered that her students were still in the area and she slapped Harry's shoulder. "Look what you do, not even an hour back in Konoha and my students think I'm a completely different person."

Harry just shrugged his shoulders, "It's not my fault that the Ice Queens of Konoha seem to melt around my irresistible charm."

"Yes," Kurenai said nodding her head, "It's your charm and not the fact that they all came over to babysit the cute little brat and you were a cuddle monster that wouldn't take no for an answer." Seeing Harry blush as was her plan, Kurenai turned back to her students. "Kiba, Shino, Hinata, I would like you all to meet my little brother, Harry Potter-Yuuhi. He's been away on a long term mission, but now he appears to be back," At this her fingernails dug into Harry's arm a bit at the thought of her brother having to leave again soon. "You are back right?"

"Yes, yes, I'm back for a few weeks at least. I need to reintegrate back into the forces and I'll eventually need to retest, but for now I'm a Konoha citizen once again."

A/N: This just kind of stopped right there as I have no idea what I was going to do with this.
