NOTE: Hello, my name is Hanni and my current writing partner is Kat! This is our first fanfic, and we hope you like it. Please no flamers, although constructive criticism is loved! Read and review, please. (: Also, this is going to be yaoi with the main parings being Sasuke x Naruto, Harry x Draco, with hints of Naruto x Hinata and Hermione x Ron.

EXPLANATION: This is set after Sasuke kills Itachi and takes his eyes. Naruto (who is now a chuunin) manages to convince him to come back. Let's note that half o the village still hates Sasuke, LOL. Anyway, Neji is a Jonin, and Ino and Hinata are Chuunin as well. Sakura is still Tsunade's apprentice although she's moved up in rank. Sasuke is in the process of joining ANBU, but they're wary of letting him in.

DISCLAIMER: We do not own Harry Potter OR Naruto. If we did, all of the guys would be having hot man smex everywhere. (;

HOKAGE TOWER

Village Hidden in the Leaves

Tsunade was tired. Unfortunately for Shizune, when Tsunade got tired, she got very irritable. This, in other words, meant that every single thing that Shizune didn't do right would result in the fifth Hokage throwing a chair out of the window. After a long and stressful day at work, the last thing Tsunade-sama needed was some weird and suspicious letter to arrive that needed her full attention, right? WRONG.

"Tsunade-sama! This just arrived, and we think it needs your upmost attention!"

Tsunade didn't even look up from behind her mountainous pile of papers when Shizune came barging in. Instead she rubbed her temples and sighed. "Can't you see I'm in the middle of something? What is it, now?"

Shizune walked the weirdly shaped scroll over to Tsunade with caution. No need to get her worked up again. "This just got here by a strange owl. It's addressed to you, but we have no idea where the location is that sent it. Should I take this over to Black Ops?"

"No, no. Those people make everything complicated. Let me read it first." Tsunade looked over the scroll curiously. Now it had her attention. It was an odd looking thing, rectangular shaped with weird stamps on it. Apparently, Tsunade was shocked to find that it was addressed to Sarutobi. "Sarutobi has been dead for three years, who could not have known by now?" Tsunade thought as she began to read it.

Dear Sarutobi-sama (aka the Third Hokage),

I hope you'll forgive me for not keeping in touch for the past few years, I myself have been rather busy and I am sure that you, as Hokage of your village, is as well. I hope life is treating you well, and your countries are thriving with happiness. I hope you don't think me inconsiderate, for I'm writing to ask you for a favor.
I need exactly six students around the age of fifteen to come to Hogwarts in England, and protect Harry Potter. Yes, I'm sure you know the reason. Apparently, You-Know-Who is back and this boy's safety is important. There is also another matter of interest I'm sure you'll find important. Some sources of mine have reported that a certain Orochimaru has been in contact with Lord Voldemort. This information will help you, I think. I hope you'll consider top ninja for the job, but not as to where you stress over finding the perfect ones. This mission is a year-long and I will be willing to pay you 77265000 Yen.

Please reply as quickly as possible with a yes or no answer.

-Albus Dumbledore

Tsunade had no idea who this man was. If he had known Sarutobi, and was on a first name basis with him, then he couldn't be anybody bad, right? Plus, there was the matter of Orochimaru... What was that little snake bastard up to? She was going to have to start researching the contact held between the Land of Fire and other nations across the world.

Although she should've been ashamed of herself, Tsunade nearly had a heart attack at the amount of money he was offering. She almost had complete pen and paper out to begin writing a yes to his reply when she noticed what he had written more closely. "A year-long mission! Who am I going to find that's willing to go on a year long mission...?"A smile came over Tsunade's face as she came up with the perfect people for the job.

Shizune, who had been standing calmly next the Hokage's desk the entire time, became crept out at the sight of Tsunade smiling, which was a rarity these days. "Tsunade-sama…?"

"SHIZUNE!" Tsunade barked, her smile gone in a second. "Get me Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga Neji and Hinata, and Yamanaka Ino! NOW."

"Y-Y-Yes, Tsunade-sama!" Shizune stuttered, bowing, as she ran from the room.

Sitting back in her chair, Tsunade closed her eyes. "Albus Dumbledore... Who the hell are you and how do you know we exist? Also, what the HELL is a wizard? SHIZUNE!"

HEADMASTER'S TOWER

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"Headmaster, I don't mean to question you, but is this a good idea? Hiring people from some unknown land to come and protect Harry Potter?"

"Ah, Severus, this is the one occasion that I do ask for you not to question me."

Albus Dumbledore paced silently back and forth as he thought of his decision to hire the ninjas. He knew and trusted Sarutobi, but he had no idea how their customs worked. It has been a while since he last visited the Land of Fire, and et's just say the councils of the Five Great Nations weren't too thrilled to find out that other nations unlike theirs existed.

"But Headmaster-"

"Severus! Do you not trust me?" Severus Snape looked taken aback at the question. He responded immediately, "Of course I do, Headmaster…."

"Then trust me on this one decision. It is not that I do not think of my own kind as worthy of protecting him, I am assuming that a little outside help would not hurt our chances against the Dark Lord. Harry is our greatest asset. We cannot afford to lose him. Do you understand, Severus?" Although the words were said quietly and calmly, they had an authoritive, final note to them. Snape nodded his head in understanding and swept out of the room, an arctic aura following him. It was obvious he didn't agree with Dumbledore, but he would never voice that opinion so openly.

Dumbledore sighed and strode over to where Fawkes was perched, near his desk. Her beautiful gold and scarlet feathers shimmered in the moonlight, almost as if a beacon. She stared at him curiously, as if she too were questioning him. "Am I wrong? Could this not be the answer?" He said quietly, gently brushing his hand against her head. She made a soft coo, as if you tell him no. He had a bad feeling about this up and coming year with Voldemort running around.

He hoped she was right.
