06/10/23: I have updated the chapters because I'm trying to make sense of the timeline of Naruto, spoiler alert, it doesn't make sense.
Also, Kizashi and Kohana aren't twins anymore, because as I tried to make sense of the timeline I noted that Kizashi and Mebuki had to become really young parents if Sakura was born in the same year as the Rookie 9.
So yeah, not having teenage parents.
Kizashi and Mebuki belong now to Minato and the other parents of the Rookie 9 age group.
I looked at Reddit and apparently, Minato was 19 when he got his Genin Team.
Obito and Rin graduated at 9 from the academy, while Kakashi at 6.
But all three look the same age!
So I made it so that Kakashi has a mentorship with Minato, but when he is not with him on missions he frequents the Academy.
That way he can interact with his age mates and probably future teammates.
This makes Kohana now 9 and Kizashi (and Mebuki) 19.
I hope you are okay with my solution.

Enjoy the improved chapters.
Chapter 2: Rin and Obito
Kohana was scolding herself.
She KNEW Rin and Obito. This wasn't the first time she had talked and interacted with them.
About what was she nervous about?
Did her strange visions shake her up that badly?
Apparently, since she can't walk over to her friends and join them for lunch.
"THIS is ridiculous.", she mumbled, holding in an iron grip the Bento-Box her mother had prepared for her. "You are a Ninja! Well, soon. Get a grip!"
She took a deep breath, planted a friendly smile on her lips and walked over to the stone bench where the two friends were sitting, enjoying their lunch.
"Hey Rin-Chan, Obito-Kun, you have room for one more?"
Obito had his cheeks stuffed with food, but he seemed to greet her back, while Rin smiled warmly at her, making room for her on the bench.
The green-haired girl thanked them and sat down beside Rin, who was now boxed between Obito and Kohana.
"You look much better, Kohana-Chan.", told her Rin relieved.
"I feel better Rin-Chan.", she answered and took a bit out of her Bento. "Did I miss something interesting while I was in the nurse's office?"
Here the Uchiha groaned and Rin giggled cutely.
Oho, that must be a good story then!
"Spill!"
"No!", wailed Obito, putting his hands in a prayer position. "Please Rin-Chan, don't tell Kohana-Chan it!"
The brunette smiled angelically at her best friend, which made him blush and Kohana rolled her blue eyes before Rin turned to the other female.
"Mai-Sensei had Kakashi-Kun and Obito-Kun here spar against each other…Kakashi-Kun threw him out of the ring in less than 10 seconds."
A loud laugh escaped Kohana, she couldn't help it. It got worse as Obito dramatically asked Rin how she could betray him like that?!
Only Rin just patted his head and ate her own bento like nothing happened.
"Stupid Bakashi…", mumbled the black-haired boy, crossing his arms with a cute blush. "I will show him next time!"
"You sure will."
"Rin can you say this with any more sarcasm?"
"I can try!"
"Stop!", hollered Kohana, whipping away her laugh tears. "I can't anymore, guys. I'm dying over her."
"Look what you did Rin-Chan, Kohana-Chan is dying!"
"I think she is dying because of you. Maybe you should help her."
Huh?
What did Rin mean by that?
Her female friend turned to Kohana and winked.
What…?
Suddenly a rush of memories floated her brain which made Kohana blush furiously.
It was strange to explain…there were these memories which she called from Before, whatever that was, where she remembered sitting before a screen looking at adult Obito pictures, which would make Kizashi have an aneurysm if he knew his Imoto-Chan looked at such scandalous pics and how she read something called Reader-Insert with Obito as the love interest.
Her blush burned hotter as she remembered the… raunchy ones.
Forget aneurysm, Kizashi would straight up die. Two times over as Kohana remembered how she pleasured-
No, stop!
She was nine!
Yet in Before memories, it was an adult body.
The fuck?
Then came the memories from here. Was that a good way to explain it?
She remembers her first day at the academy, how Obito had been late and Rin gave him the homework. His happy smile was so bright, that Kohana thought for the first time in her life a boy could be pretty cute.
More of such cute moments, but one was fixed in her brain.
Kohana had never liked her green hair. She had wished for pink hair like Kizashi and her Kaa-Chan.
How she had cried one day under a cheery blossom tree because her parents had forbidden her to dye it.
Obito appeared and cheered her up. He didn't like one of his friends being sad.
Then he said these words: "I like your hair. It's green like mint and unique, you should be proud of it. But if you want to change it that bad one day when I'm Hokage I will say for a mission you have to dye your hair, sounds good?"
She had laughed tearfully and thanked Obito.
Oh, yes, Haruno Kohana had a big fat crush on Uchiha Obito, wrote even in her diary Uchiha Kohana!
And Rin knew it!
And tried to play matchmaker since she found out!
That alone was reason enough to pray for a quick death, however, there were these feelings from Before.
Longing, Sadness, Unreachebel…
This emotion was so strong that Kohana gasped for a second.
It really was heartbreaking sad.
Well, at least she got her blush under control.
Kohana frowned at Rin and pocked her discreetly in the side.
Helping her with Obito was nice, but the Uchiha didn't even register other lifeforms as possible mates, since he was so fixed on Rin.
You couldn't even call it a love triangle since Kohana liked Obito, Obito liked Rin, Rin liked Kakashi and the Hatake was too cool for human emotions.
This was going to end in a disaster, Kohana just knew it.
"Eh, girls? All good with you two?", wondered Obito and had a freaked-out look on his face.
Whenever Rin and Kohana were together they got still at one point and started to glare at each other. That it only happened when he was around he didn't connect.
To his relief, Rin heard him and gave him a smile: "Don't worry, Obito-Kun, just girls things."
Wisely he didn't ask more. He learned pretty early that he didn't want to know what girls things were.
Kohana was also glad for the ending of the staring contest. Her crush can't stop her from her mission.
"So guys.", she began. "I thought maybe we could get together these days and have a training spar. Our Genin Exam is soon. Wouldn't hurt to train more for it."
"Oh, that's a great idea. Kohana-Chan. Are you in it Obito-Kun?"
"Sure, sounds awesome!"
"Maybe after training, we could get then something to eat?", suggested Kohana hopeful.
Both her friends were on board.
They decided they would start their training after school today. None of them had anything to do this afternoon.
Where they should eat was another discussion. Rin wanted something sweet with strawberries, Obito wanted dango and Kohana herself voted for Ichiraku Ramen.
This earned her strange looks from her friends.
"What's wrong? Something on my face?", Kohana wondered.
"No…but-"
"Since when do you like Ramen?!", asked Obito for himself and Rin.
Confused Kohana blinked. She remembers eating and loving Tonkotsu Ramen, it was one of her favourite foods.
There was a tiny Japanese restaurant near her apartment-
No, wait…this is again from Before.
So she normally didn't like Ramen?
Blasphemy! She could image a blond-haired boy with whisker marks on his cheeks nodding approvingly at her.
And what is Japanese?
Uurgh, she feels a headache starting.
"Meh, I tried it again and started to like it.", she lied cleverly. "Also Ichiraku is amazing!"
"I was telling you this the whole time!", shouted Obito and pointed with his chopstick at her. "Listen to your future Hokage! I know what's best for my people."
This made Rin giggle cutely.
"We bow before your wisdom, Hokage-Sama."
"Geeh, thanks Rin!"
Kohana didn't know what drove her to say this, but she heard herself proclaim: "Hey you are not the only one gunning for the hat! Maybe I want to try!"
Then she sent him what only could be a flirtatious smile, which not only made Obito blush with wide black eyes but Rin also.
Meanwhile, inside her, a part that was defined adult danced in victory because she always wanted to say this and do that if she ever met Obito.
Okay, this Before memories and now sensations will give her a whiplash.
Somehow she needs to regain control over herself.
But…who was Haruno Kohana?
She even didn't know anymore herself.
"You know what guys. Just forget what I said. I think I'm still a bit sick. I will go to Rinka-San. See you guys later."
With a sigh, she stood up and threw away her food.
At least she managed to arrange a training session with Obito and Rin.
So, Profit?
