So much time had passed since the Prodigy Brothers enjoyed the comforts of their own village....
They had lost their sense of time and was still outside the village handling business. Originally, they were sent to gather Intel on the blood demons that have been spotted in multiple locations and be back in a matter of days. One thing after another, things escalated. As a result, the brothers remained outside the village for a matter of years. In addition to their investigation, they were given a variety of missions from the Raikage and Medical Sennin to complete. They still worked their fair part to contribute to the village.
Of course every journey had its ups and downs. The ups consisted of beating down bandits, bosses, blood demons, acquiring new knowledge, and bonding moments around a camp fire as they took time to relax. The downs consisted of destruction, bloody near death experiences, torture, watching dozens killed, and seeing comrades die.
The prodigy brothers had grown in spirit unlike anytime before. They found hope in the darkest places in the darkest times and emerged victorious. Their title and clan name struck fear in many and hope into others as tales were being told across the country. Two brothers. One merciful and the other merciless, but both dangerous despite their smiles. They defended villages, slaughtered demons, gave bandits a bully beat down, brung down mob families, gave a helping hand to many in need, and became detrimental to many.
Now, it was time to come home....
As usual, the temperature was cold. More of freezing as the flurries of snow continued to rapidly fall like the temperature. The sound of panting could be heard along with the view of blood and bodies painted across the snowy plain. A slaughter fest of blood demons with decapitated limbs and demolished body structures. Sitting on one of the corpses, Junko seemed tired.
Dried blood covered their battle damaged clothes. Junko sat catching his breath, staring at a nasty decapitated demon head through his rinnegan eyes as Aiko worked on getting info out of the leader of the troop. "Damn, these things are very ugly." Junko said standing to his feet. Grabbing his katanas hilt, he pulled it from the snow. "You got the info you needed?" Junko asked as Aiko released the throat of the leader. After Plopping to the ground, Aiko's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan caused him a bit of trauma. The gentle spirit had been staring into the eyes of the demon for quite sometime to gather Intel. It was time to rest his eyes and body.
"Of course." Aiko said with a grunt
Junko slung his blade to the side causing the oozing blood on it to fly off. Sheathing his blade slowly, blue immense flames ignited the bloody snow field, engulfing the corpses that scattered across the battlefield.
"Ready brother?"
"of course."
"Then let's go home." Aiko said putting an arm over Junkos shoulder for assistance in standing. He had a minor injury and needed medical attention. Supporting his brother up, he secured him by the side as his palm began to illuminate a green glow in order to begin his healing process.
"Lets.." Junko said as the incinerated demons burnt to nothing more than ash as the blue flames canceled out the negative entity within them. In what seemed like a flash, the prodigy brothers were gone from the battlefield. Disappearing, without a trace.
Hours had passed, the snow storm had calmed, and crunching footsteps through the snow could be heard as the Prodigy Brothers were making their way to the home gates through the rocky mountains. The thought of home made them smile. Much rest was needed, much family time was needed, and many showers had to be taken as they wreaked of bloody demons. Dark bags were under their somewhat lifeless eyes from so many restless nights and traumatizing events. After going through hell and back while living with the mentality of kill or be killed, anyone would have the same eyes.
Yet, life was rejuvenating within them as their old life could be seen just beyond the gates. "Kumogakure...we're home." The brothers whispered while chuckling a bit despite their beat up apparel. The gates were as icy as they remembered and their hearts were pumping in excitement.
"Junko, will you do the honors?" Aiko said with a rather tiring smile.
"Of course. " Junko said placing a hand on the deadly freezing gates. "Knock knock!" Junko thought extending his hand with immense force towards the impenetrable gate. Sending shock waves through the bars and the air itself, the gates swung open, causing a rather explosive boom surely heard by all gate guards and anyone else in the area.
This would definitely be alarming. A gang of ANBU or main branchers were expected, but if no one showed, the duo would continue towards home. They had family to see and rest to receive.
"Home sweet home."
