Yo People! lots of writers seem to be doing HP Naruto crossovers, so i decided to try one. Inspired by the story 'Hogwarts ANBU' by Mayet, but i've tried to keep it as original as possible.

I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter. if i did, i probably wouldn't be on this site in the first place.

Dumbledore sat in his office in Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry, surrounded by immense piles of books, all filled with different kinds of spells of protection and enchantments. Sighing, he moved another book to the ever-growing pile on the right side of his desk. The headmaster was trying to find a way to protect his school and students from Voldemort and his death eaters. He looked up as there was a soft knock at his door.

"Come in" he said. A man with scars covering his face, a chunk of his nose missing, one magical eye and leaning on a stick came in. such was the entrance of Mad-Eye Moody.

"Alastor, the reason I've called you here is because I need ideas on how to keep this school safe for the year. Particularly Harry." Dumbledore sighed again.

"I can't seem to find anything that he wouldn't know how to bypass" Moody was silent as he went through all the options possible, until he came upon one that was very obscure, but might possibly work.

"There might be a way, but the staff probably won't like it." Said the scarred ex-Auror

"What?"

"You could contact the…Shinobi" Moody gulped slightly before uttering the last word, and with good reason. The shinobi were renowned for their ruthlessness in a battle, calling on abilities that were quite possibly out of the realm of normal, or even the most experienced wizard's capability. Moody had met a few of them some years back, and the way that one of them had just…killed his opponent without mercy like that still haunted the wizard's memory. Dumbledore was lost in his thoughts as well. He knew of the shinobi's existence. Perhaps only ten people in the wizarding world knew that they existed, and two of those people were in this room. Every one else simply thought that they had either died out long ago, or were just a fairy tale to scare children with.

"We will contact the shinobi and see if they will help. Call the staff in here so I may explain the situation." Said Dumbledore, after much consideration.

"You'll need this" said Mad-eye, dropping a sheet of parchment on the desk.

"That's all the information we have on the shinobi, combined with my personal notes on them and their culture." Dumbledore nodded. The shinobi were extremely good when it came to secrets and keeping them. As one of them said to Mad-eye

"A secret kept is a weapon against your enemies"

Dumbledore pulled out a fresh piece of parchment and began to write.

A few days later, In Konoha, two masked and cloaked figures were shaking their heads in shame at the sleeping form of their Hokage.

"You wake her up, dobe"

"Nuh-uh. I did it last time. It's your turn, teme"

"She likes you better than me."

"That won't stop her from punching me through the wall like last time, teme"

"Shut it, dobe" Naruto and Sasuke had made ANBU about a year ago, and had quickly established a reputation as quite possibly the best two ANBU since Kakashi had rejoined, and the best pair in combat, forming quite complex joint attacks with surprisingly little planning. It attested to their teamwork and friendship. Sasuke had come back to the village just over three years ago after killing his brother Itachi. He'd simply walked through Konoha's main gate and said

"I'm back" before collapsing from chakra exhaustion from getting there so quickly. He'd been placed under full ANBU observation for a year, until it became apparent that he wasn't going to betray Konoha again. He and Naruto had become friends quickly again, making ANBU together, and becoming the now legendary Fox and Snake. Nearly their entire year group was ANBU now. Only Hinata and Lee had remained chuunin, not because they weren't skilled enough, but they wanted to teach at the Academy, and help train the next generation.

"Wake her up, dobe"

"Fine then. You owe me one. Get ready to duck" Naruto took a deep breath.

"TSUNADE BAA-CHAANN! WEE'REE HEERREE!!" Yelled the blonde.

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT, BRAT!!" the two ANBU swiftly ducked the heavy chair that went sailing through the door, nailing an unfortunate chuunin coming to see what the noise was.

"Mission complete, Hokage-sama." Said Sasuke, edging towards the door, in an attempt to make it out of the room before Tsunade decided to throw her desk as well.

"Oh. You can have a week of rest, as can all of the ANBU. Make sure you tell them" with a nod and two puffs of smoke, the elite ANBU disappeared. Just as the blond Hokage was about to go back to sleep an owl landed on her desk. The Hokage ignored it. Wait, an Owl? Sure there were owls in Konoha, but they weren't used as messengers like this one was. She grabbed the letter out of its beak, and opened it carefully. Not hearing any burning sounds she proceeded to pull out the contents. There, on parchment, written in green ink was a message. It read:

To the Current Hokage,

Konohagakure, Fire country

The Elemental Countries

Dear Hokage,

My name is Albus Dumbledore, and I am the headmaster of a school in England. This school is called Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yes, it is a school for magic. However, I pose no threat to you, as I intend to hire some of your finest shinobi in order to help protect my school, and the students, especially one Harry Potter, from a dark wizard going by the name of Lord Voldemort. The mission will be for the entire school year, about ten months. Money is no object. Along with this letter, there will be a portkey, which is a magical transportation device, which will transport your men to a safe house, where Mr. Potter and his friends are currently staying. It will activate at exactly 6 pm on the third of August. If you accept this mission please send the owl back with your reply and how many men you are sending, as well as a brief summary of their skills so that I may know what they are capable of.

Yours truly,

Albus Dumbledore.

Tsunade sighed. She, like Dumbledore, knew of the existence of wizards, but refused to contact them, as they had strange ideas about their powers and some of them tended to be elitist. Nonetheless, she wrote that nine members would be coming, scribbled a brief explanation of their respective skills, put the letter in the owl's beak and then threw said bird out the window. She watched as the bird recovered from the shock and flapped towards its destination.

"Shizune! Get Fox, Snake, Cat, Bird, Deer, Boar, Scarecrow, Dragon and Blade to assemble in my office in three hours!"

"Hai Tsunade-sama!" yelled the black haired medic nin, and rushed out of the room.

Well, there's the first Chapter up, hope you enjoyed it.
