Chapter 1: Sarutobi Haru
Fawkes knew Harry Potter would not be safe at his relatives home in Surrey, England. So when his companion (NOT owner) Albus Dumbledore went to bed that night in his home by the seaside of Rio de Janeiro (A/N: Making this up, have the movie Rio on the mind lately) Fawkes flashed all the way to England to nab the infant before his aunt woke up and discovered him. There was a man somewhere on one of the outskirt island chains of Japan where ninja ruled and a lost man needed a reason to stay in his home village after an attack by a monster known as the mighty Kyuubi.
As Asuma was packing for his journey to the Fire Capital, he saw a bright red flash outside his front door in the clan compound. At first he thought it was the Kyuubi again. That it had gotten free from little Naruto Uzumaki. Gathering up his fist blades he cautiously opened the door and the cigarette fell from his mouth and rolled into a koi pond outside. There was the most beautiful bird he had ever seen.
"A phoenix." He whispered not wanting to scare the magnificent creature away. "What do you want with me?"
The phoenix trilled and he noticed it was carrying a basket in its claws. He peered closer and saw an infant with messy, jet black hair, and a fresh, still bleeding scar shaped like a bolt of lightning on his forehead. Did someone carve that into the infant?
The phoenix trilled again and fluttered the basket down before disappearing in a flash of red ruby flames.
Asuma carefully picked up the infant who yawned and turned in his arms. His heart melted from what little freeze it had from the years his father had neglected their family for the "good of the village." He read the letter. Apparently this Albus Dumbledore's wards would activate wherever he was taken in. He was curious about what kind of wards they where. Seals of some kind maybe? But who could make seals that could be activated half a world away?
"Hmm, I guess I should stop smoking." Asuma said with a smile as the infant snuggled into his arms. "Sarutobi Haru."
