Keep Moving Forward

Sasuke has been persuaded to return to Konoha to assist in a strange mission.

(Even though this is a cross over it will still primarily be about the Naruto Characters, and it won't follow the Harry Potter story line very well.)

It had been four years since Sasuke had killed his brother. He had not returned to Konoha. Although, he knew that certain people had not given up hope that he would return, and they probably never would. Sasuke could not give up being an avenger. He had spent so much time and effort becoming who he was, and even more continuing. Since Sasuke had fulfilled his own vengeance, he had taken it upon himself to facilitate other's vengeance. He had, in essence, become a mercenary for hire. He wasn't overly proud of the title, but it kept him fed, and in some circumstances had allowed him to further his own knowledge of forbidden jujitsu's.

Sasuke had just accepted a contract to obtain stolen scrolls for a rich family in the Wave Country. Sasuke guessed that the scrolls would hold no pertinent information to him, but he took the job none the less. He was also told that he would probably not be the only one searching for the people who took the scrolls. Apparently there had been several thefts through out the wave country, all speculated to have been committed by the same perpetrators.

After carrying out some minor investigation, Sasuke found himself headed towards the Grass Country. This guy wasn't hard to track at all. He made no efforts to cover his tracks. It appeared that this would be a quick and easy job.

Sasuke had been traveling for two days when he came across a group of people, who were carrying more bags with them than necessary. Concealing himself in the grass he made his way closer, to listen in on their conversation.

"Are you sure we are suppose to meet up today" A guy with dark hair asked.

"That's what the boss said" A second guy with brown hair replied.

'These are probably the people I'm looking for' Sasuke thought as he moved further away from the people 'Might as well wait for their boss, take him as well.'

When Sasuke had gotten a fair distance away from the two men, he suddenly felt a presence next to him. He recognized the person's chakra signature from 4 years ago.

"I knew there would be others, but a high ranked hunter?" Sasuke said glancing sideways at the hunter he met 4 years ago, when he had defeated his brother. She looked the same in every way. (A/N I'm too lazy to describe what she looks like again.. so check out the story Time if you want to know.)

"Never thought I would run into you in such a place either" The hunter replied.

"hn" Sasuke replied.

"I'm not here for them anyways" The hunter said "I'm waiting for their boss, a rogue Konoha nin. Petty thieves are not a hunter's job."

Sasuke did not reply, he knew it was a shot at him.

The hunter handed Sasuke a scroll. "I was asked to give this to you should I come across you in the next six months" The hunter said holding the scroll out in front of Sasuke. "My name is Hikari, if you care."

Take the scroll, Sasuke replied "Why do you tell me your name now?"

"Because now it is necessary" Hikari replied.

"What is this about?" Sasuke said, tucking the scroll away in a pouch.

"A job, a prophecy" Hikari said "and apparently it is pertinent that you are involved."

"Prophecy?" Sasuke said noticing movement of something towards the two thieves.

"The fox, the snake, the dragon and the healer" Hikari started noticing the movement as well "something about crossing the dimensional gateway to aid in defeating the dark lord. Hn, sounds like something out of a messed up fairy tale to me"

"Sounds like a farce" Sasuke said waiting for the third person to get settled in the camp before making his move.

"My sentiments exactly" Hikari said melting into shadow.

Sasuke nodded and shot forward. He reached the three men in seconds, the two thieves already tied up in grass and shadow. He engaged the third, katana drawn, who was wearing a leaf forehead protector, with a slash through it. The missing leaf nin threw senbon at Sasuke, attempting to escape. It was a poor effort, and easily dodged. Sasuke charged his katana with the chidori, the leaf nin tried to block with a kunai, which disintegrated against Sasuke's katana. Sasuke ran the katana through the leaf nin's shoulder. The leaf nin fell to the ground with a loud yelp.

"Hmpf" Sasuke scoffed "Pathetic"

Hikari rose up out of the ground behind the sitting leaf nin. Crouching behind him, she placed one hand firmly on the back of his skull and applied pressure. The already injured nin winced at the added pain.

"Mind if I steal his secrets first?" Hikari asked looking up to Sasuke.

Sasuke just looked at her.

"I'll take that as a yes" Hikari said turning her attention back to the leaf nin "You stole something from Konoha, it isn't with the rest of looted materials, where is it?" She pulled back on his head, with her knee in his back. Popping of vertebra could be heard, along with an agonized howl from the leaf nin. Hikari held out her right hand "Memory Extraction." Dark tendrils began flowing out of the man's eyes, ears and mouth, gathering in Hikari's awaiting hand. Sasuke with drew his katana from the leaf nin's shoulder and took a few steps back. After a few moments a black scroll formed in Hikari's hand, with a golden seal bearing the leaf nin's name. The leaf nin had stopped screaming and was now limp in Hikari's arm. She pushed his dead body to the side and tucking the scroll in her jacket.

"Well I need to go retrieve a few scrolls that he some how managed to steal from Konoha" Hikari said "I leave those two for you."

Hikari preformed a few seals "Katon; Silver Dragon Flame no Jutsu" The black silver flame ignited the leaf nin's body, obliterating him.

She turned to walk away and then added "Regarding that scroll, if you could give us an answer before the month is out, we would appreciate it."

"When you are finished your mission, meet me back here." Sasuke said "I'll be waiting, with your answer"

Hikari nodded and vanished.
