For the next few days, Haruto stole as much money as he could from the criminals of London, to gather the necessary funds for his trip. Haruto returned to Gringotts at the end of the week where he commissioned the making of the le Fey Lordship ring, with all the protections against potions and charms added to it that money could buy. The ring when completed looked black and had the crest of the le Fey house in the middle of the ring.
Haruto decided to wear the ring on his left hand's index finger to match the Old Religion ring on his right hand. Once that was completed Haruto opened an account at Gringotts and had all his money deposited, after it was converted into wizarding money. The papers he could use in the Elemental Nations to prove he was a Lord were completed as well.
Haruto then inquired about how he could get transportation to the Elemental Nations. He could either buy a Portkey from the Ministry, who would then know where he's travelled to, or Gringotts could provide him one for a higher fee but they wouldn't inform the Ministry that they did so. Wanting to stay clear of the Ministry for the moment, he bought a Portkey from Gringotts that would be ready for him next week in the early hours of the day.
"Before you go Lord le Fey, when you claimed your Lordship the le Fey Wizengamot seat reactivated, the Ministry has been repeatedly asking us if we have any information about the new Lord le Fey, what should we tell them?" Azog asked.
"You may inform them of my name and age but nothing else, if they ask where I am, tell them I am travelling," Haruto said firmly.
"Very well, I'll see you in a week, human," Azog said before leaving.
You know you'll have to deal with the Ministry at some point don't you? Morgana commented.
I'm aware of that, but at my age, no one will take me seriously, and will probably try and take advantage of me for their own goals, so I want to put that off as long as possible, Haruto replied.
As long as you're aware, you may do as you wish, Morgana said.
In preparation for his journey to the Elemental Nations, Haruto brought all the necessary items he would need such as a camping tent and other essentials. Haruto also bought a bag that had enchantments on it that would make it bigger on the inside, that way he could store everything he needed in it.
During the last week, Haruto was spending at the orphanage not that anyone knew that, a new orphan had arrived. Her name was Eris Frost and she was two years younger than Haruto. Eris has fair skin, an oval-shaped face with blue eyes, and pale blonde shoulder length hair. Eris became quite curious about Haruto after he made some bullies leave her alone and she saw how terrified everyone was of him.
What Haruto didn't realize was that Eris was determined to find out more information about him, as she was very interested in the person that had the entire orphanage under his thumb. So one day she followed him and heard him talk aloud to someone he called his Mistress. She initially thought Haruto was insane until a wave of his hand made objects float off the ground and threw lights from his hands that had various effects. Before Eris could confront him the next day Haruto had disappeared, unknowingly to her in the earlier hours of the morning.
While waiting for the Portkey to the Elemental Nations Haruto was twitching slightly in impatience, since he wanted to visit this new continent already.
"The Portkey will deposit you at the Gringotts in the Land of Fires capital, after that we will not be responsible for your safety,bhuman," Azog said stiffly. Haruto wasn't bothered by his tone in the slightest, already having got used to the way goblins speak to wizards.
"Thank you for your assistance," Haruto said politely even if he felt Azog didn't deserve due to his tone, but Morgana said it's important he acts like a Lord all the time. Haruto touched the Portkey feeling really uncomfortable for a few seconds before landing on a marble floor feeling nauseous.
I hate Portkey's, Haruto thought.
I could say you get used to them, but you never do, Morgana said dryly.
"If you're done wasting our time, perhaps you could move along, human," a goblins voice said. When Haruto looked up from the ground he saw a few goblins looking apathetic at his plight.
"Sorry," Haruto replied though his tone made it clear he wasn't. Haruto then left the room to exchange some money for Ryo, the currency used in the Elemental Nations. Once that was done Haruto left the capital to head to the Hidden Leaf Village to find out what he could about chakra.
The journey to the Hidden Leaf Village only took several hours for Haruto. Upon approaching the village he admired the view it offered him, a huge wall with massive gates open that lead into a busy village. Haruto approached the two guards who were slouching and talking with each other at the desk next to the gates.
One guard has brown hair and dark eyes. His hair is combed down and covers his right eye. He wears his forehead protector like a bandanna along with the standard Leaf shinobi outfit. The next guard has long, spiky, black hair, and dark eyes. He has a strip of bandage running across the bridge of his nose. He was also wearing the standard Leaf shinobi outfit.
When the guards saw him approach they sat up properly to make themselves look more professional. Haruto, as he was standing in front of the guards, used his sensing ability to see if they were more guards about, and he was right. There were several people hidden around the gates.
Must be extra guards in case anyone tries anything, Haruto thought.
"Papers please," one of the guards stated professionally.
"Here you go," Haruto said, handing over his identification papers. The other guard was looking him over, probably studying his appearance. He was wearing an expensive robe that was designed for a Lord, he had his bag strap going across his body with the small bag resting next to his hip that only he could open, and his le Fey ring was clearly visible on his finger. His clothing and bearing screamed noble to anyone that saw him.
"Everything is in order Lord le Fey, what sort of business do you have with the village today?" the guard asked with a slightly more polite tone no doubt because he was a Lord. The second guard had a surprised expression for a few seconds before he cooled his face back into a neutral look.
"I'm here to learn all I can about chakra," Haruto replied politely. Hearing this caused the guard to gain a frown on his face before it disappeared. He sensed a guard leaving no doubt to inform a higher up about his presence here.
"In that case, I would recommend the library, but you should know that the Lord Hokage will want to see you at some point, you're the first Lord we've had that's visited from Great Britain," the guard said.
"That's because I'm the only Lord in Great Britain in nearly one thousand years," Haruto said in a tone that said he was speaking to an idiot for not knowing such things. The guard's eye twitched hearing Haruto's tone, but he kept his silence.
"Here are your papers, enjoy your visit Lord le Fey," the guard said professionally but a bit colder than before. After taking his paper's back Haruto then walked past the guards, and into the Hidden Leaf Village.
I wonder what I'll discover here, Haruto thought, looking forward to seeing what the village had to offer him.
While looking for directions to the library Haruto used this chance to walk around the Village and admire the view it provided him, seeing as he had never been in a village like this before. Haruto received some strange looks for his attire from the civilians, although some of the shinobi recognized the attire he was wearing as wizarding robes.
I guess I should ask someone for directions to save me a bit of time, seeing how I'll never find it at this rate, Haruto thought, approaching a kunoichi in the street. The kunoichi was a beautiful woman with red eyes and was wearing a red mesh armour blouse.
"Excuse me, Miss, could you point me in the direction of the library?" Haruto asked politely. As the kunoichi was about to answer him a loud rumbling noise came from Haruto's stomach causing him to blush in embarrassment. The kunoichi smirked in amusement seeing Haruto's mortification.
"Are you sure you wouldn't want something to eat instead?" the kunoichi asked teasingly. Haruto couldn't help but chuckle at her teasing.
"I think that would be preferable, do you happen to know any good restaurants?" Haruto asked with his blush finally calming down.
"Just down this street is Ichiraku Ramen, which is quite popular from what I've heard, and for your directions to the library, go down this street turn right and you'll see a sign telling you which way to go," the kunoichi said.
"Thank you very much for your help...," Haruto said tailing off.
The kunoichi looked surprised that Haruto didn't know her name but then smiled softly. "My name is Kurenai Yuhi."
"Thank you very much Miss Yuhi for your assistance, I am Lord le Fey and I hope you have a pleasant day," Haruto said amiably before walking off. Kurenai was taken aback by the fact that the boy she had just been speaking to was a Lord.
I wonder if I'll ever see him again, he was far more polite then the majority of the men in this village, Kurenai thought before walking off to meet with Anko for lunch.
