Chapter I

The clash of swords permeated the air, suddenly the air heated up as fireball shot towards two of the three swordsmen who expertly dodged the shot. One of coughed and spat a thick wad of phlegm into the grass as he surged forward.

This man was around 5'10, sickly pale with a chronic cough that racked his body and sunken brown eyes surrounded by black rings, his name was Gekko Hayate. Gekko drew his sword and went for a deep lacerating slice across the stomach only for it to be turned away as his opponent spun in a controlled 360degree spin and dodged behind him.

The new attacker rolled a senbon between his lips and spat it out at high velocity at Gekko who expertly sliced it in half. The newcomer was then suddenly blindsided but managed to avoid it with a sealess shunshin. The second attacker wore black body armour and a Neko-mask and teamed up with Hayate and preceded to push the apprentice back. The apprentice swung his sword up with a clang and locked blades with Hayate, knowing the man's experience the apprentice kicked the sickly looking man in the leg and back flipped out of the way and during mid flip chucked several kunai blindly at Neko.

Neko blocked the kunai and vanished right behind the apprentice and hit out with a backwards heel kick followed by a successful decapitating blow if it connected. The kick knocked the apprentice off balance and trapped the apprentice underneath her foot with two swords at his neck.

"I give Neko nee chan." The apprentice groaned. Neko giggled and pulled the apprentice to his feet and handed his sword and kunai back. The apprentice opened up a box and withdrew another senbon and placed it in his mouth. "So, any better or not?" Neko nodded "Harry-ototuo you are constantly improving."

Harry grinned "But is it fast enough to fight Tom Riddle? I can sling jutsu's and spells as fast as the next kunoichi but I need to know. Could I take Voldemort one-on-one?" Neko removed her mask revealing the heart shaped face of Yuuago Uzu.

"Harry-ototuo, you could potentially kill him but after what I've seen in your memories from Yamanka Inoichi-san and medical file from Minato-san, is it worth fighting for that country of theirs when you belong here." Harry laughed bitterly at Yuuago's comments.

"If I won't one of my closest friends will be forced into my shoes. I should be dead...by all means I should be when I fell through the veil I should have died." Yuuago nodded.

Harry had been found washed up on the borders of wave and fire country in the river, with his lungs full of water and starving. It had taken the ANBU medics five minutes to get a pulse back and further twenty-five to get it strong enough to stabilise Harry to move him to Konohas hospital.

Harry sighed and fell into step with Yuuago, who had linked arms with Gekko and were heading back to his house. Which happened to be Gekko's flat which he shared with Yuuago. Harry entered the flat and flopped down on his bed and groaned. Should I fight Voldemort? Should I stay here? Harry closed his eyes and fell asleep only waking up to eat rice balls that Yuuago brought to him.

As Harry ate them on his bed, Yuuago sat next to him and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. "Ototuo, I'm sorry for making it seem like you must choose between here and your Hogwarts. In the three weeks since you got back, Gekko and I have quickly come to see you as our little brother as well as close friend. Harry grinned and hugged back "So you'd back me in whatever." Yuuago nodded.

This was only a technicality as Gekko, Yuuago and Harry were all fifteen. Harry was also close to Gekko's closest friends from the academy who were Raido, Genma, Hana, Kurenai, Anko and Harry's closest friend Shizune. Harry had gone to Hogwarts and left everyone until fifth year when he decided to bail and stay Konoha and so far out of his friends only Gekko and Yuuago knew he was alive. He had been shocked to find out that Shizune had upped and left shortly after he had left.

Suddenly the call of an owl penetrated the silence and Harry grinned wandlessly opening the window a bigger than normal owl which Yuuago recognised as a summon or more specifically a senpo mastery owl. The owls along with toads, frogs and cats were known as the Senjutsu summons. However these were the most noticed summonings as the others such as Dragon and Salamander had vanished off the face of the earth or had been destroyed.

"Harry-sama, I have got to say that your disappearing act has got the entire wizarding world running around like headless chickens." Harry snorted at the blunt comments from his owl summon.

"Say Hedwig would it be possible for me to complete my sorcery training with the Owls instead of going home." Hedwig bobbed her head and cuffed Harry across the back of the head. "Of course...You may want to go to the academy and pass the tests so you can take the chunin exams."

With that Hedwig disappeared in a puff of smoke and Harry fell onto his bed and slowly fell asleep. Early the next morning Yuuago was shouting through his door for him to get up and head to the academy. Harry groaned as he got dressed in his jet black gear and black body armour. Harry didn't much care for his clothing despite them being ANBU regulatory but they were damn comfortable and it's not paranoia if they REALLY are out to get you.

Harry entered the academy and flipped his hood up. He didn't like revealing his face to anyone. He slipped into his seat and slumped forward. He learnt theoretical stuff better when he wasn't actually looking forward. Harry was one the eldest in the academy so instead of going through the years he was placed in the remedial lessons to get a crash course in what he would be learning.

Today was the review of Henge, Bunshin and Kawamari along with shuriken and kunai practise. Harry lined up and he performed the Kawamari seallessly and the same with the henge. Harry had found out on his washed out return was that he could not perform a genjutsu at all. So as a result the Yondaime had decided to teach him the Kage Bunshin No Jutsu which he performed and passed the course.

Harry also excelled in the weapon portion as well and soon enough wore the headband symbolising his being a genin of Konohagakure. Harry made his way to Hokage tower where he found the Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze slaving away over the paperwork.

"Hey Yondaime-aniki san." Said Harry as he walked into the study, the blonde haired kage looked up and grinned.

"What is it? A jutsu or a peek on the genin placements?" Harry snorted at the obvious questions.

"Its along the lines of would you teach me Fuuinjutsu and if I could take the chunin exams without a team." The hokage stared at the new genin...granted Harry was a one in a thousand in terms of sheer genius and a brilliant practioner of Ken, Tai and Ninjutsu.

"I don't see why I can't give you some lessons on sealing...though Jiraiya-sensei would be better as he IS a seals master." Harry shrugged his shoulders "Meh...but he isn't here...YOU are. So please Yondaime-sensei." Minato nodded "Now...to get rid of the paperwork."

Harry smirked as he faced his sensei. "Watch my hands sensei." Minato watched as Harry performed a seal and said "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" Seven clones burst into appearance and Minato quickly followed suit but five Minato's appeared and quickly tackled the paperwork.

Minato and Harry knuckled down the basics of Fuuinjutsu, and Minato noticed that Harry was just like him...able to look at a seal and recognise the components and alter seals making them much more effective. It was now dusk before Minato wrapped up his first lesson with Harry and with that Harry vanished with a pop and rematerialised in his room.

Gekko heard the crack and shrugged, Harry had his quirks as did he. Gekko developed a cough habit to get people to underestimate him and Harry used his own teleportation jutsu. Gekko knocked on his mate's door and opened it to find Harry etching several exploding tags. Gekko waited until Harry set his brush down before talking.

"Harry...You can't hide from everyone forever...Why don't ya come out with us and surprise everyone." Harry cracked his neck and turned to Gekko and nodded slowly "Guess not...It's kinda inevitable...But it's not gonna be the same without Shizune-hime." Harry blushed as he said the name and Gekko smirked. "SO You AREN'T that dense after all."

"I caught on alright. I wasn't sure she liked me... Now I'll never know." Murmured Harry as he pulled on his black jacket and pulled on his headband, bandanna style much like Gekko and Genma.

Soon enough, Gekko, Yuuago and the rest of the gang were lounging in a booth at a bar with several bottles of sake between them. "Well would you look at this, bar two the bands back together." Said Raido after taking a sip of sake, Raido was a tall, broad shouldered teen with black short well kept hair with burn on his cheek where he just dodged Uchiha Shisui's Fire Dragon Projectile during the academy.

Genma nodded, smiled and rolled his senbon in his mouth. He was built much like Raido except slightly slimmer in the chest. "Damn...I wish Shizune or Harry were here, damn they could have got together...Then Harry had that buggery of sorcery training or shit and now Shizune buggered off with Tsunade-sama."

Gekko and Yuuago snorted into their sake as Harry's name was mentioned. "We kinda have to tell you guys something." Three heads snapped round to stare at the lovebirds "What is it? Gekko you didn't get Yuuago pregnant did you?" Asked Genma smirking...However Hana didn't think it was amusing and smacked him across the head.

Hana looked like a typical Inuzuka except she didn't have the feral appearance, hers was fairer but she was still not one to cross at all. "No...Yuuago isn't pregnant...Remember that ANBU unit who brought somebody in from the border of Wave country..." The group nodded, they had nearly been bowled over by that group of ANBU.

"Well...here he is." Said Gekko gesturing to a cloaked figure who had made his way over to the group, everyone moved up so he could sit down. As the stranger did so he flicked his wrist five times and five bottles of sake shot out from his cloak at the group who caught them easily.

"As you say...speak of the devil and he shall appear..." With that the stranger flipped off his hood to reveal Harry in all his pale glory equipped with shinobi regulated headband.

Hana blushed at Harry's transformation from a good looking kid to an astonishingly cute man. Where Harry had been one of the shortest members of the group he was now easily the tallest. His emerald eyes glowing with happiness, everyone stared and Harry, Gekko and Yuuago could not stop grinning.

"I'm home...peeps...Home for good." Stated Harry, after the shock and several murmurs of "release" HHGreHHHHarry was bundled by the group and they past the night away with bottles of sake and plates of dango. The party intensified when Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Materashi entered the bar...saw Harry and almost fainted.

The pair almost received nosebleeds when Harry caught them from behind allowing them to get a good feel of his muscled upper chest and arms. "So ladies...like what you feel." He growled playfully causing them to pull themselves closer to him. "Say...Harry-chan you haven't seen Shizune have you." Asked Kurenai as

Harry escorted them over to the table, that simple statement dulled the mood, Harry hung his head. "Not yet anyway...But hopefully one day...However lets drink and be merry for I am home."
