Mito felt the energy she was emitting. It was softer than chakra, and definitely softer than nature's chakra. There was an ugly feeling in her chest as she saw the child in front of her, it felt like a very old infected wound opening.

The red hair, the confidence, the aura, it screamed Uzumaki.

The only thing missing on her, that would mark her as a full blooded Uzumaki: a sharp dagger on her hip and a Hatai-ate with Uzumaki swirl on her forehead.

Mito peripherally knew that Tsunade was welcoming the girl, but she just couldn't move.

It had been so long, that she seen more than 3 red heads together. Shaking out of her thoughts, she smiled at the child and went into a thankful bow. But before she could even lower her head, she felt herself being stopped.

"You do not need to bow your head, Uzumaki-Hime. Ever. Me? Being here is for a selfish reason apart from helping you get revenge," the girl smiled at her and pulled her in a hug "It's a give and take, and I hope you will help me through this."
"I didn't catch your name"
"Hariel. I'm Hariel Potter."
"Welcome Hariel to the ancestral lands of Uzumaki."
"A real pleasure" the girl whispered to her as they pulled out of the hug.

Mito closed her eyes and simply breathed in the slightly salty air and relaxed. She really missed her darling husband at times like this. 'He would have gotten along so well with her' she though as she looked on the scene in front of her.

She could slightly relax in Hariel's presence, it was soothing in a way that she had forgotten. The corrosive chakra of the beast was silent in a way it had never been before. She could feel it withdrawing slowly but steadily into itself and Mito let it happen.

Mito watched the child speak to the Toad sage and she slowly she made her way back to the camp.

She felt Orochimaru and Tsunade follow her. But her mind was in a haze, something she didn't want to come-out from.

Hariel greeted the Toad sage next, as he was the next one with the most authority and power. "Ojousama. I welcome you to the Land of Chakra. May you be blessed." the toad croaked.

"Greetings. May the blessings be upon you-" She looked up at him and saw that his eyes were very similar to Luna's, hazy and unfocused as if they were seeing multi planes and possibility at the same time, "- I have heard of you, in stories and in legends, may I have the consent to ask and know your name?"

"It has been a while since someone asked for my name and a chosen one at that. My my miracle do happen," The toad sage rumbled jovially "I am Gama, the eldest sage alive in this dimension I am both a Seer and a Prophet."
"And I am Hariel Potter, one of the Warlocks, I am both a warrior and a seeker."
"Then what is it that you seek in this part of dimension Ojousama?"
"A home, a place where my children can grow without danger, a place where my brothers and sisters can finally rest, a place where my family can settle, a place where I can put down my roots."
"You are touched by death, your very essence reeks of war -" the toad bent down a little to peer into her eyes, his eyes grew hazy as his tone changed "- But… but you are blessed, a strong companion, a stronger support system. Someone you will find here, who will finally be strong enough to be an equal." The toads eyes cleared and he smiled. "Yes you are blessed."

With this the toad nodded at her and vanished in a sudden burst of smoke and dust. She stood there waiting for the dust to settle down. Only after that does she moves to greet the last group.

And her lips settle into a coy charming smile as she walks towards the man and the gaggle of children hidden behind him. She stops a few feet away from the group but before she could say a single word a dash of red hair ran straight at her and she found herself sitting on the ground with child hugging her with all his might.

"Nagato-kun…. " the kids scramble forward as one.

The kid Nagato just shook his head and pressed further into her, so she carefully pulled out her magic and settled it around them. The child melts into a puddle and she strokes his hair as slowly the others settle around her cautiously, so she expanded her magic to include them in a single protective. Once the kids settled, she looked up at the man who looked at her with soft crooked smile and went to sit a few feet away from where he could keep his eye on them.

Sitting like this she didn't feel the wretched hollowness of being alone. And slowly she relaxed and dropped the mask of happiness. Tilting her face up she let her magic saturate the cluster of Islands slowly. Her magic slowly spread and swirled with the power that was already present in this world. The other power was starving and stagnant. But she knew that if she let her magic overwhelm the natural energy present here it'll be catastrophic.

So she relaxed and went into a light doze keeping herself aware of everyone around her.

Later in the morning she carefully pulled herself out of the pile she was sleeping under. Her magic was bouncing around her and communicating the things it had felt. It had already cleared the toxic gases that had stagnated and had kick started the ecological system. It pulsed talking about the knowledge it had gotten while she was dozing. She walked the opposite direction of the camp, pulling out her mirror she took a deep breath and called out "Neville Longbottom"

The mirror glitches twice and she barely saw a glimpse of the sun room before the mirror showed her face.

Taking in a deep breath she then called for Hermione, then Ron, then Draco, each gave her the same reaction. At the last attempt the mirror vibrated dangerously so she stopped trying and hugged the mirror and breathed trying to stave of the tears.

She was here for a reason and her family will follow her she was sure of this and she started walking towards the camp that was setup last night. When she reached the main camp she saw two males cooking the breakfast while the ladies were asleep.

Walking forward she was determined to make the best of her situation. She had a home to build, revenge to take, and find herself the so called partner who could keep up with her.

A/N:

guys...
you all are so sweet really. its your support that i was able to actually complete the chapter.
so the reason I was hiding was because I suddenly Broke friendship with two really really good friends, then my working hours changed, then my father fell sick, and my assignments came out. i wasn't able to find time for my self to be honest. i purposely threw myself into more projects to get over broken friendships. and the chapter will have mistakes ill come back for them later
anyway
the friendships i lost? one of them? I knew her since we were 5. she threw away 19 years of friendship over something she though i did a few years back. she held a grudge, she held the anger and a simple meme bought it all up. LMAO my life.
the other one? i suppose break in that friendship was going to happen sooner or later. he's a mama's boy. and his mama didnt like. and he hid his friendship while i was never shy of us. i suppose that also boiled over. there was an argument in his family and i happily took a step back. but does it hurt?
fuck yes.
was i lost losing two people?
obviously.
am i healing?
well duh. so guess whose back ?

BTW i celebrated my 25th birthday on 14th March. wish me. i want all the happiness i can get in my life. 😁😘
