Protecting The Chosen One

Chapter One

By: RockinKunoichi94

It was a warm sunny afternoon in Konoha. The streets were busy as the shopkeepers, citizens, and ninjas were either making money, walking around, or shopping. Near the usual spot for team seven's training ground there were many craters in the earth, some were small, medium, and others were quite large. A crash was heard and yelling soon followed behind.

"NARUTO!!! BAKA!!!!"

"Itai!!!! Sakura-chan!!! Why'd you have to hit so hard?"

"Hey dickless!"

"ARGH! Sai stop calling me that!"

"Dobe."

"Not you too teme! I think it must be beat up Naruto day!" the loud blonde wailed.

"Yo!"

"YOU'RE LATE!" a pinkette and Naruto yelled.

"Well, you see I saw this flower and--"

"Liar!"

"Ok, ok. Anyways we are to report to the Hokage's office immediately." the silver haired man said before poofing away.

"Well, let's go guys." the pinkette, other wise known as Sakura, chirped happily. "I wonder if Shino will be there." she thought outloud.

This comment caused Naruto, Sai, and Sasuke to race to the Hokage's tower. Sakura smirked as she took her sweet time.

"That always gets them."

She slowly made her way through the busy streets of Konoha to her shisou's office. Taking in the scene, she sighed and decided to speed things up a bit, since she didn't want to miss seeing her shisou wake up at three in the afternoon. Thinking back she giggled at the looks on her boys' faces when she told them that she had developed feelings for a certain bug master. She had a dreamy look in her eyes when she walked through the big doors leading to the office that the current Hokage worked in. Oblivious to the chiar that was heading her way. She dodged it gracefully without a second thought. Ok, maybe she wasn't that oblivous.

"Ohayo shisou." she chirped.

"Sakura, why were you taking your sweet time in getting here?" Tsunade said, voice rising slightly.

"Well, you see. There was this old lady who had too many groceries to carry so I had to help her bring them to her house, I also had to help her put them away since she had a bad back."

"Enough! I swear you are getting more like Kakashi each and everyday." Tsunade muttered.

"Glad I'm the one to inspire such actions." Kakashi said as he poofed into the room. "And Sakura, get your own excuses next time." his eye creased as he smiled at his only female student, or should I say ex-student.

"Aww, fine." Sakura pouted. "Shisou, be glad I'm not reading one of Jiraiya-san's orange novels he calls a good read."

"True, anyways I am sure you are all wondering why you are here."

Team seven nodded.

"Well, I will tell you once the other team gets here." Tsunade smiled happily as she took a swig of her sake, which Sakura stole afterwards and had a gulp.

"Who's the other team?" Sakura asked as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Tsunade-sama, team eight has arrived." Shizune said as she peeked into the office.

"Send them in."

Team eight walked into the room and shizune closed the door behind her. She took a quick glance at Kakashi and he winked at her, making her blush.

"Ok! Can you do the mission briefing so that Shizune-san and my ex-sensei can be all lovey dovey somehwere else." Sakura said allowed, the sake taking a slight effect with her mind.

Shizune blushed profusely at this and Kakshi just grinned.

"Fine, and Sakura, no more sake for you." Tsunade said.

"Fine." hiccuped Sakura.

"Ok, as you all know this is a mission. Your sensies will not be accompanying you but they will pop in every now and then. You are to protect a boy who is also fifteen like most of you. He is wanted dead by a man named Voldemort, I must warn you now, do not use his name so openly because people are terrified of this man and one mention of his name and they will avoid you at all cost."

The others nodded showing that they understood.

"Now, you are all going to be at a school called Hogwarts, it is a school for witches and wizards." Sakura perked up at the mention of the magic users. "Harry Potter is the boy that you will be protecting. He has green eyes and black hair, he wears glasses and his best friends are Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasly. You will use your name, you do not need to create an alias as no one from our world will be known of this mission. I also need to say that this Voldemort person can also control snakes like Orochimaru, but differently."

"I'm also guessing that they have a different form of chakra." Sakura spoke. "They use wands to cast spells that can either kill, injure, deflect, protect, and heal. Using their chakra, however, does not make them tired like when we use ours. They don't exactly lose chakra as they use it."

"Correct, and I'm guessing you are excited about this?" Tsunade smirked.

"Of course! The last time I was at Hogwarts I had a completely different look, name, and I was a teacher. This was during Harry's first year though, so I know exactly who you are talking about, I wonder if they'll recognize me, maybe they will remember me!" Sakura grinned happily.

"You've been to this Hogwarts place before?" Sai asked.

"Yes, I was on a solo mission that required me to protect Harry Potter from Voldemort, although I said his name as if it was a silly little game, everyone was appalled that I would be so careless with this dark wizard's name and to use it so freely in front of them during breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner."

"Yes, now, you all will be leaving tomorrow at seven so get here early, your senseis will not come along as they will be only popping in to check and see how everything is going. Sakura, you will be attending Hogwarts as a student now so try to remember that."

"Hai shisou."

"Same goes for all of you, you will be students and you may or may not be put in the same houses, depends on what Professor Dumbledor will think." Tsunade took another sip of her sake. "Now, run along and pack your necessities. Professor Dumbledor will have all of your wands, uniforms, books, and other supplies in his office."

"Hai." the two teams left the office to pack and get ready for tomorrow's mission.
