Sitting in a carriage making his way up the pathway to an enormous castle in the pouring rain, 3 days before the arrival of the students at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry is a lone ninja requested for this year long mission to protect the castle from threats over the course of the tri-wizard tournament. Under the guise of a harmless foreign political representative as no one but the employer and employee could know who he really was.

Albus Dumbledore had sent word to his old friend Hiruzen that he wanted a team on ninja to protect his school over the course of their competition as he believes after the death eaters attack at the quidditch world cup that there school needed something stronger than just magical protection especially with the recent knowledge to most enemy ninja of magic's existence he wanted a powerful ANBU team to protect his students. However the reply he got wasn't what he was expecting.

Apparently Konoha just finished winning a war and needs time to recuperate, so the hokage could only send one jounin level ninja. Albus believed Hiruzen wasn't taking his request seriously even though he is paying S-rank's money worth for this mission. However what he doesn't know is that Hiruzen not only took this seriously he put the best ninja in the village on this task, he would have preferred to task a few jounin maybe a chunin or two, hell even the Sannin with this mission however he owed Albus his life and thought with children as stake he would not risk leaving this school protected properly. So even though this ninja only came back from fighting on the frontlines 3 weeks ago he would give him this responsibility hoping that no trouble would befall him and this could be a well deserved rest for a year, but still giving the castle more than enough protection. Also a chance to escape from all the hords of fans and thankful villagers, as the hokage knew it embarrassed said ninja more than he would ever say.

Which is why the hired ninja leaves the carriage in the rain upon reaching his destination and is greeted at the front door by his employer who is ushering him inside. 'It's very nice to meet you, I am Albus Dumbledore I am the one that hired you, I hope you found your way here no trouble' The hooded ninja nodded and bowed to the headmaster 'Yes its very nice to meet you too, and no trouble on the journey actually' 'That's good in fact you made it here earlier than I expected' the hooded figure remained silent at this 'oh sorry I never asked for your name?' The figure lowered his hood revealing a shock of bright blonde hair and big blue eyes with a wide smile of his face, holding his hand out for Albus to shake 'My apologies I'm Minato Namikaze.'
