Twilee - I'm so happy! I've had a rush of ideas lately so I've been writing them down and going through them and only just recently have I had time to sit down and type this.
Bree-chan - Don't you have something else to say?
Twilee - Right! Original plotline goes to Sniper757 with his/her story "Through the Ages" Check it out if you want the original! Also I have full permission to create another version of his/her story. Many thanks Sniper757!
Bree-chan - Yeah, and she don't own Naruto or Harry Potter or Pirates of the Caribbean or Full Metal Alchemist!
Twilee - Don't tell them everything! Don't worry it's not that big of a crossover and only a slight mention of people from the aforementioned places. Enjoy!

Oomizu had just finished her assigned mission of assassinating the Akatsuki and destroying the Kyu Temashigoto Ryuujin, the very statue that had stolen away Shukaku from Gaara along with his life only for Elder Chiyo to sacrifice herself in his place. The statue that held the eight Bijuu imprisoned… at least until she blew it up. The Akatsuki had let her escape alive after their last encounter three years ago and that was their downfall. They were mistaken to let her live that long, especially after Sasuke's death from their 'brainwashing'. By letting her live and get stronger they forgot to take into account the revenge she wanted. Uzumakiseiun no Oomizu, formerly Uzumaki Naruto, was out for blood and nothing was going to stop her.
It was a success. She had spent two months converting a suicide jutsu into something she could use without giving up her own life; a kamikaze attack that would kill herself and everything around her within a certain distance. All she needed to do was find a way to make sure she didn't die in the process. After two grueling months of half-deaths and all-nighters she had finally found the answer. She had used her own chakra to create the actual bombing while using the Kyuubi's Youkai as a shield, completely unaware of the consequences this would later have. She had gone into battle ready… but now she realized the price was too high and the void she'd hoped to fill had just widened with the death of her team.
Now, Oomizu was nothing but a soul staring the Death God in the eye while the world around her moved on. "I guess it's time I move on, after all isn't that what you came for?" Oomizu broke the stare to gaze sorrowfully at the dead, and charred, bodies of her friends. Kakashi-sensei, killed by Pain, Sai, killed by Konan, Sakura, killed by Kisame, and Yamato-sensei was killed by Madara… Yet they did not go down without a fight. Kakashi destroyed two of Pain's bodies, Sai was able to kill Deidara who was thought to be dead, Sakura brought down Kisame with her both breathing their last breaths as Sakura severed the arteries vital to keep his heart pumping. Sai and Yamato, together, brought down two more of Pain's bodies and Konan, but Sai was hit with a last-attempt jutsu from the dying paper-woman and the tiring Yamato was easily obliterated by the ancient Uchiha.
She turned back to face the silent Shinigami and after a tense silence he finally answered, "...No. It seems you have still not realized the price for what you've done. By using both your chakra and your demon's curse energy together you've sped up the process the seal was originally made for. Then by destroying the Kyu Temashigoto Ryuujin, the Bijuu within needed a host and you were the only living being close enough. You have become the Bijuu and because of this you are immortal. With the Nine it mattered not if one died, but now it is only you… There must always be a Bijuu on this earth to maintain the Balance. You can never die or the world will fall to chaos… You see… Kami made the Bijuu to do what she could not such as interfering into your villages or eliminating clans that were getting a little too powerful for their own good."
"Why can't Kami do that? I mean she is a god, and I thought that gods weren't bound by rules?"
The semi-transparent Shinigami gave a bellowing laugh, "Even we deities must be bound by rules or our realm would also be thrown into utter confusion… To answer your question, Kami is the Joutei no Jinsei, the Creator of Life. I am the Hogosha no Goshou, the Guardian of the Afterlife though some know me as simply the Reaper. I can no more give life then Kami can take it. We would be going against our own powers and we just can't do that. Now you… you are special. I cannot take the other Bijuu from you, as they have already started to change you. If you agree to become the next Bijuu then you would have to perform the duty of them. So is it a deal?"
Oomizu just wasn't aware of the nightmare that being an immortal could be… She agreed without a second thought and listened as the Death God began to explain the nature of the Demon Lords.
"To be a Bijuu means more than you know. It means you are the one that keeps the balance between good and evil as well as life and death in this world. Kami and I have tried to do this in a number of different ways. We have tried reincarnation and choosing pure-hearted mortals. After years of unbalance we finally came up with an answer."
"The Bijuu." Oomizu's eyes sparked with understanding, and the Death God continued as if he had not been interrupted. "But because we used animals instead of humans they were more in tune with nature. Their instincts were connected with the earth and through the earth they were each given specific areas to keep balance in. If we had used a man instead it would have taken much longer for information to get around of an uprising and by the time the problem had been taken care of it would've been to late."
"So all I need to do is keep the balance?"
"Yes."
"Then let's begin."

27,000 Years Later
00000000000000000000
After 27,000 years, Oomizu had had many names and seen many things. She saw the creation of vampires, werewolves, and the extinction of many great beasts. She had seen the times of the alchemist, pirates, and the Greek Wars. She had been an empress during feudal times in Japan, as well as a scholar in ancient Egypt. There was no bit of history she did not know of…
She had kept the balance through all of it, as were her duties. Now she was going back to a school that she helped found a little over a century ago. 'Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'. After the first two centuries mankind began to forget the way of the Ninja. Chakra, the fusion of physical and spiritual energy, dwindled until only Oomizu was the only one able to use jutsu. Technology took the place of missions, guns took the place of kunai, and people moved on. It was around her 25,658th birthday that certain people began to create a society of those that had begun to use the spiritual half of chakra. They called this magic and they called themselves wizards. Oomizu had been a good friend of Rowena Ravenclaw and when it was found that she could not bear children Oomizu was chosen as her heir. So now to be part of this 'newfound' community she had adopted the last name Ravenclaw once more. Looks like the economy problems in America would have to wait…
Oomizu sat in her own compartment on the Hogwart's Express. No one wanted to sit by the creepily quiet '11-year-old'. As she leaned over to write a note in the book to her right a bit of her platinum silver and blonde hair fell in front of her face. It had taken a long while for the Bijuu's Youkai to finish the changes to her body, but when it was done she no longer looked like the bubbly blonde she was before. For that she was grateful, she didn't need anymore reminders of the past. She was already dressed in her robes though the train had not even left the station. Not liking the plain black she had messed with the cloth a bit until the trim of the robe changed to a light blue color while the collar tip was purple tie-dye that faded into black the farther it smoothed down her robe. It matched perfectly with her electric purple-blue slit eyes and lusciously pale skin.
Her cat was lying next to her, stretched out on the seat to her left. Now a normal cat is common to see at Hogwarts but this feline was certainly not normal. It was a Were-Cat, the last of it's kind, and something that can change into any feline it needs from a common housecat to a lioness. Though she also had a human form if she needed to communicate with anyone besides her companion, Oomizu.
Oomizu rubbed Lai's belly, feeling her purr beneath her fingers. She looked up unhurriedly as the door was slid open to reveal a slight boy with messy black hair and circle-frame glasses. "May I sit here?" She nodded and returned to her book, Lai giving a small whine at the absence of those magical fingers.
"My name is Harry Potter. What's yours?" The now introduced Harry potter asks with a small smile.
"My name is Oomizu no Uzumakiseiun-Ravenclaw," She glanced over the brim of her leather-bound book and continued, "I impressed, you don't really see many well-mannered men around here. They're mostly snobs or gits. You have my respect."
Harry looked slightly confused as he answered uncertainly, "Um, thanks… I guess… Wow, that's a cool-looking cat. May I ask what it is?"
"It's a Were-Cat." Looking up again to see the blank look Harry was conveying, she elaborated, "Think shape-shifter, but she can only shift to another cat form such as a leopard or jaguar."
Moments passed in companionable silence until the door slid open to reveal a freckled red-head, easily recognized as a Weasley, asking if he could sit in our compartment. The boy, introduced as Ron Weasley, instantly hit it off with Harry and Oomizu watched them with a small smile. They already seemed like close friends after just a few minutes of knowing each other.
Not a minute later after having given her name, a rather bossy-looking girl shoved open the door and 'politely' asked if they had seen a toad. Facing Oomizu the unnamed girl immediately noticed that she was reading a book with no title or words of any kind, and the worn leather cover gave her the feeling that it was very old. Being quite the bookworm, she couldn't help but ask what book it was. "It is an ancient book with olden spells that holds the secrets of the past. This is the only book of its kind."
"May I read it after you're done?" She seemed to wriggle with the excitement, but her smile vanished when Oomizu answered with a flat, "No."
"What? Why?"
"Because it's mine and I don't like you. I don't know your name, you don't know mine, and yet you are asking for something that belongs to me." Oomizu practically radiated her annoyance through her eyes as she stared down he curly-haired brunette.
"Fine, I am Hermione and you two are?" The newly introduced Hermione twisted to the side a bit so that she could also see Harry.
Harry gave a rather lopsided smile as he answered, "My name is Harry Potter."
"Ron Weasley."
"And my name is Oomizu Uzumakiseiun-Ravenclaw." Her introduction fell on deaf ears as the minute Hermione heard the name Harry Potter, she switched all attention to the green-eyed boy.
"Wow! You're Harry Potter? I, of course, know all about you. I have tons books that say you were a hero before you could even walk!" Then, remembering why she'd introduced herself, she asked once more if she could borrow it now. "No, telling me your name changes nothing about the fact that I don't trust you with something like this."
Luckily before Hermione could snap a harsh reply, the intercom crackled to life, "We will be arriving at Hogwarts in 20 minutes, please be ready to disembark when we arrive." Hermione turned tail and without a word left through the still open door of their compartment to get dressed.

20 Minutes Later
00000000000000000000
"All first years this way! First years over here!" Called a 'man' that was so tall, and at the same time a quite fat, that Oomizu just knew he had to be half-giant. When all the first years were in the boats, we began our sail across the large lake for our 'Grand Hogwart's Tour'. As they drew closer to the castle the first years got their first look at the greatest School of Magic in history. It was the most beautiful castle that most have ever seen, and for those that came from Muggle families it was like a dream that they'd never wake up from. When they arrived they were led up a flight of stairs to a large wooden and steel door. A teacher walked out, a rather old lady but after years spent with Tsunade she knew age rarely meant anything, and explained what the houses were and how the school worked.
Next they were led into the Great Hall. As soon as they entered most were amazed at the sheer size of it while others wondered and stared at the spelled ceiling. That was when Hermione started on about how she read 'Hogwarts a History' and about how the roof was charmed to look like the sky outside, including types of weather. Quickly getting annoyed at how much she bragged Oomizu finally snapped, "Oh, shut up. You act like you're the only one who can read." The same professor as before, Mrs. McGonagall, lined us all up alphabetically to be sorted.
Shocking many of the newcomers into silence as the hat began to sing,
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you want to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Griffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
Once finished Professor McGonagall called out, her voice piercing the silence, "When I call your name please come up and put on the Sorting Hat! It will call out the house you best fit in." Oomizu listened in for awhile, but eventually began to zone out until a name attracted her attention.
"Harry Potter!" The hall turned into a sea of whispering faces, all talking about Harry Potter and his 'great deeds'. After a short while the hat finally yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!" Oomizu began to think of how some recent unrest could tie in with this Potter boy. She delved deep into her thoughts, only snapping out when she heard her name, "Oomizu Ravenclaw-Uzumakiseiun!" Now that had a reaction from a lot of people, but mostly from the pure-bloods and some of the half-bloods. Even Dumbledore looked on as he thought of ways to get this Uzumakiseiun on his side, though he was confused as to why her last name was also Ravenclaw. As he pondered on her 'family name', many of the pure-bloods were thinking of ways to marry her (boys) or get her as a highly loyal friend. The Uzumakiseiun family could use magic in ways that no one else could, but they were also very secretive and none knew where they lived.
Oomizu sat, aware of the stares, but didn't care as she carried on small chat with the Sorting Hat.
00000000000000000000
Oomizu's Mind
00000000000000000000
"Hello, it's been a while since I last spoke with you. 200 years I think."
"Yes, it has Morgan le Fay or should I call you Gwydion."
"I don't go by either names now. To others they are my ancestors. For now I am the direct heir of Ravenclaw and the Uzumakiseiun clan."
"Ah, yes I see. Ravenclaw has passed on all of her family skills. You're the direct mix of both families so I suppose you want to go to Ravenclaw?"
"No. I need keep an eye on somebody so I think it would be best if I went in Gryffindor."
"...You want to keep an eye of Harry Potter? Never mind, no need to answer I already know."
00000000000000000000
The Great Hall
00000000000000000000
"GRYFFINDOR!" Much to the surprise of everyone. Many were sure that because of her name she'd be sorted into Ravenclaw. Gryffindor purebloods left loose wild applause while others just tapped their hands together. Before leaving for her table Oomizu whispered to herself, "Let's get this party started."
