Dumbledore watched the terrible scene play out in front of him. A boy no older than 12 with very dark hair and strange red eyes jumped in front of a blond haired boy with innocent blue eyes. Those blue eyes winced as he saw the other boy take at least 12 needles for him. His eyes turned to an onyx colour and he looked back at the boy he had just saved and fell into his arms,

"Sasuke...Why?"

"Who knows...I hated you...my body just moved on it's own."

After a further few words between the two children, the dark eyes closed and tears slipped from the blue ones.

"I hated you too Sasuke," he said as he hugged the boy to his chest, "and yet," he turned to the masked boy who had thrown the needles, "you'll pay for this."

As he watched the fight Dumbledore was amazed, he certainly had the right boy. He was infuriated at the murder of his friend but he still hesitated killing until the masked boy began to beg for it. Horrified as he was Dumbledore couldn't help but smile to himself, this child was so much like his parents. His mother's attitude, his father's mercy, his mother's fighting style (and he hoped wizarding style too), his father's looks and both their bravery. As both concious children disappeared for some unknown reason from the hall of ice mirrors he went over to the other boy pulling out his wand. Confident the boy was just in a death like state from some unknown jutsu he had no knowlage of, he pulled out his portkey and disappeared.


Later that day team 7 were standing in front of the Hokage giving him a mission re-count when suddenly the door came of it's hinges and fell to the floor revealing two out cold chunin guards and a giant standing between them. In fluent Japanese he said, "I'm terribly sorry about that," although he didn't sound sorry, it took a fair bit of clever magic lent to him from Dumbledore to get past those two guards. The three young ninja and their sensei drew their kunai's. The giant ignored them and turned around picking up the door as if it were no more than a piece of paper he placed it back where it was, he took out and umberella and tapped the hinges and suddenly the door was as good as new. He put his umberella back in his huge coat and turned back to the shinobi.

"I have a letter here for an Uzumaki Naruto," after a slight hestitation Naruto said, "that's me."

The giant gave a gental smile to the young ninja having been told all about him by Dumbledore. He reached into his coat and pulled out a small envelop, well at least it looked small in his hands. Naruto took it bravely but still wary and opened the seal.

While Naruto read, Hagrid stared curiously at Kakashi then his eyes widened, "My goodness, you can't be Kakashi."

Kakashi looked puzzled, "I am, you know me?"

"Why I ain't seen you since you was thir'een years old."

"I...I don't ever remember seeing you."

"Well O'course you don't, back in that ninja war of yours I had to use a polyjuice potion to transform myself just so I wouldn't get attacked."

"You were in the thrid great ninja war?" exclaimed Kakashi truely amazed.

The Hokage beckoned Kakashi to him and whispered, "I had to employ the help of an old friend of mine from the wizarding comunity who sent some aid during the great ninja war in exchange for allowing them to use our hunter-nin to locate a dark wizard. If it wasn't for the help of the wizarding comunity it's hard to say how that war would have turned out."

Kakashi nodded, he knew wizards existed but he never really gave it much thought because their world had no effect on their's but as Naruto's eyes widened and he said, "Kaka-sensei," passing him the letter he knew he may just have to pay them heed.

"Is this a joke?" asked Naruto accusingly.

The giants smile didn't waver, "Who are you?" asked the boy.

"Oh I'm sorry my name's Rubeus Hargrid, grounds keeper at Hogwarts, surely they've told you all about it."

"No," Naruto turned to the Hokage who had a nervousness that wasn't habitual to him.

"What they never told you who your mother was?"

"I don't know anything about either of my parents."

"What..."

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura I think you better go while we discuss this."

Naruto turned to Hagrid feeling he was the only one who would answer, "What's going on?"

"You're a wizard Naruto."

"A what?"

"That's right, your mother was a witch and one of the finest that ever lived. Got a place in the ministry of magic when she was just nineteen. Mind you she only did her three years service then returned home to the ninja world. In fact her family are the only people in the world to posses both magic and chakra capabilities."

"What about my father?"

"He was a muggle," he said feeling it wasn't his place to say anymore, they must have had a good reason for keeping his heritage a secret.

"What's a muggle?"

"Non magic folk like your friends here although being ninjas they and your father could hardly be considered your average muggles."

"You three," said the Hokage leaving no room for arguments, "we have a lot to discuss. Naruto we'll come and find you soon."

Too confused and shocked to argue he followed his teamates out of the Hokage's office. The minuet the children were out of the room Hagrid scowled at the Hokage, "That boy has no idea who he is does he?"

The other two adults remained silent, "You never told him," Hagrid paused for a minuet, "well Professor Dumbledore trusts your judgement so, so do I."

A small smile crept across the Hokage's face, "How is Dumbledore, I haven't seen him since after the Kyuubi sealing," he paused, "I suppose you know about that?"

Hagrid gave a small but visible shiver, "Oh Yeh, I heard about that alright," he paused, "you hid the boy well, it took even Dumbledore a while to find him. He should have started Hogwarts last year."

"Make sure Dumbledore understands that it was his father's last wish that he know nothing about his heritage until he is ready. So should he decide to come with you he is not to be told about his mother's origins or his father's position. He may know of Kushina's place in the wizarding world but nothing else."

"So he is allowed to go?"

"Only if he wants to and so long as he is allowed time for his ninja training. And also so long as Dumbledore knows my conditions regarding the child."

"I'll report back to Professor Dumbledore and I'll leave you to talk to Naruto," he walked to the door and then he paused, "I assume you don't want anyone to know about the fox."

The Hokage got a dark look on his face, "If Dumbledore breathes a word or Kami-sama forbid he let anything happen to Naruto who enough has already happened to, to last a lifetime then he will have me to deal with and the friendship we've shared will not spare him my wrath," his voice was deadly serious and Hagrid knew he wasn't kidding. Dumbledore had told him before they got involved in the ninja war that a wizard's variety of magic and the sneakiness and ease at which they execute it could easily give them an equal and (in some non-frequent cases) a better chance of victory esspecially since the wizards neglected to know anything about wizards and would be vunerable to surprise in war. But in combat a wizard didn't have a chance, chakra was too forceful and the jutsu's were too complex for their more simple techniques to over come on the battle field. A wizard didn't stand a chance against a ninja in those circumsatnces.

"Understood Sir," he said and left. (leaving the door on it's hinges this time).

Kakashi had no idea his sensei had married a witch, but to be fair Minato never usually talked about his private life in fact he only knew Naruto was his sensei's son because he saw the striking resemblance and demanded an explaination from the Sandamie, "Hokage-sama, Naruto can't leave, we will be short a team member and his training will suffer."

"I will give him a few copies of forbidden scrolls in which he will learn ninjutsu but only ones I select, he will learn fast with those scrolls like Iruka tells me he did with the Kage Bunshin and you will seal a clone inside a scroll to teach him taijutsu. And as far as the team is concerned, no genin will be getting above D rank until the chunin exams and that coincided with a holiday they celebrate called Christmas in which students are let out of school so Naruto will be back to participate in them. Don't concern youself Kakashi, there is a chance he will decide against going and even if he goes he will get better respect there than he does here."

Kakashi bowed his head in defeat, he knew that was true Naruto was dispised here and maybe he could build some good connections for himself. He hoped it would cause Konoha to loose him even though they didn't deserve him.


Naruto walked in silence with his comerades, he had his hands folded behind his head and was thinking hard about this bizzar offer.

He turned to Sasuke and Sakura, "What do you think."

"I think there's something not right about that guy," murmered Sasuke.

"Apart from the fact that he is seven feet tall," smirked Naruto.

"Shut up dobe," Sasuke paused, "wizards, magic, witchcraft school. Does he take the Hokage for a fool?"

"I don't know Sasuke," ventured Sakura, "the Sandaime didn't seem to dispute it and he didn't seem surprised by the giant either."

Naruto took out his letter and read it over and over until they got to the training grounds. He tucked his letter away when they arrived. Even though they were supposed to train they couldn't motivate themselves enough to do it. That is until Naruto and Sasuke began bickering, their bickering always started the same. Sasuke would prevoke Naruto by calling him something like 'dobe' and Naruto would come back with 'teme' and it didn't take long to escalate to blows being exchanged. Sasuke could defeat Naruto everytime and they both knew it but Naruto was willing to risk that just to get a few good hits in and evaluate how much closer he was getting to defeating Sasuke, that was his main motivation for training.

A few good hits Naruto certainly got but Sasuke still managed to get him on the ground quickly with a knee in the centre of his back and both his hands clasped in Sasuke's iron grip. Sasuke though for a minuet as he held his rival to the floor, Naruto had gotten better, what happened between him and Haku while he was out cold. Surely Naruto couldn't have beaten him. That loser could never defeat someone he couldn't defeat. A popping sound and a short fall to the ground interupted his thoughts, his knee landing where Naruto use to be. He narrowly missed a Kunai that would have caught his ear. He turned around to see Naruto flipping another Kunai in his hand with a mischevious grin on his face. Weapons were about to be thrown when a chunin that had previously been knocked out by Hagrid appeared, "Naruto-san, Hokage-sama wishes to see you," Sakura made a move to go and even Sasuke took a step forward, "alone," he said sternly.

Naruto gave them a wave and a smile and he walked away with the chunin. As he was walking with the guard he saw the giant mount a strange looking vehical.

Naruto called to him, "Mr Hagrid," he shouted, despite having small, young lungs his voice carried without much wind and the chunin rubbed his ear. Hagrid walked over to the two figures and smiled, "Just call me Hagrid."

"Hagrid could you tell me something about magic?"

"Well I suppose it's similar to your jutsu but we use magic for everything."

"Could you show me?"

"So long as you promise not to tell anyone, I'm not allowed to do magic anymore you see."

Naruto didn't bother to ask why, "I swear on my nindo."

Hagrid took the umberella and exclaimed, "Lacarnum inflamari, "and a small flame burst out of the wand and landed on the ground he made another exclaimation and water escaped from the wand extinguishing the fire, "you see it's a bit like your chakra but we don't often use magic for fighting unless we need to as ours is a peaceful anonomous society," he thought it better not to mention the disasters that had happen a few years before. He then proceded to make a kunai from Naruto's pouch levitate, "magic is basically used for basic living but that doesn't mean you can't fight with it. Your mother was the world supreme dueling champion."

Naruto stood silent for a moment, "Thanks."

"No problem."

Hagrid mounted his motor bike and looked at the retreating wizard and the chunin thinking about an even more important letter he had to deliver at least this boy would know about magic and there would be less explaining and arguing. Or so he thought.


The chunin remained outside the door while Naruto ventured inside. The Hokage and Kakashi were in the same place he left them. The Hokage was silently hoping along with Kakashi that Naruto decided not leave his team. Accoarding to Hagrid if he agreed Dumbledore would come for him personally and take him to get his school supplies while Hagrid took care of Harry.

"I've decided I'd like to learn magic," said Naruto with his usual determined smile.

Before his sensei or the Hokage could make a reply a man seemed to fall from the ceiling and land as if he was floating. Even though he was strange looking Naruto liked the look of him. Like the Hokage he was a kind looking old man (but in a strange way rather tough looking, like the Hokage), the man had long white hair and just as long a beard and twinkling eyes. He was dressed in strange robes and wearing half moon shaped glasses, his eyes looking through them smilingly at Naruto. He then turned to the Hokage and exclaimed, "My old friend."

"It's good to see you again Dumbledore," said Sarutobi with a genuiene smile.

"I have to admit you haven't lost your touch it took even me a while to find him, he should have been at school last year."

Naruto didn't seem angry with them for keeping the fact that his mother was a witch and he apparently was a wizard, from him. He was just happy to know something about her, however little, "Did you know my mother?"

"She was my best student and one of the finest witches of her age, I can't speak for her ninja life but I have also heard stories of her greatness in that aswell. Despite her greatness in our world in her heart she was always a ninja. In fact you remind me a lot of her, though you are the image of your father."

"Did you know him too?"

"Not very well I only met him through your mother," that wasn't true he met him during the war after Kushina died in child birth.

"Naruto if you are leaving you better get packed say your goodbyes while I talk to your headmaster, he'll meet you at the village gate." said the Hokage.

"Right," Naruto said enthusiastically and ran out of the room.

"His mother's son indeed."

Kakashi interjected respectfully, "We need your word that he will be safe...I asume you have all the information you need on what's sealed inside of him?"

"Yes," the headmaster said calmly but reassuringly, "and trust me there is no safer place for him in our world than Hogwarts."

"That's true," agreed Sarutobi.

"Hokage-sama after the success of the mission in the wave country I was planning to enter my team in the chunin exams. I need to know Naruto will definately be back for them or I can't submit."

"Oh I wouldn't worry about that, your chunin exam co-incide exactly with our Christmas holidays in which our students return home so I will personally make sure he is here and that he has enough time to train provided you give him the materials."

"I'm having scrolls drawn up as we speak," he paused, "we have much to discuss before Naruto returns."

Dumbledore sat down ready to be quizzed about the nine tails and discover what else he needed to know.


Meanwhile Naruto packed his few belongings and tidyed his room taking a look around it. He decided he had to do this before he said his goodbyes because he was afraid he might change his mind. He finally managed to form connections with Sasuke and Sakura...but he would be back soon and perhaps he could make more connections while he was gone. He had bonds as a ninja but now he had to make some as a wizard but at heart he would always be ninja, he would always be a leaf shinobi no matter what happened in the wizarding world. He said the easier good byes first, like Kiba and Shikamaru who he just knew but he still didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to them. He also went to find Konohamaru but just found Moegi and Udon instead learning Konohamaru was in hospital after getting a little over excited in training, he told them to tell Konohamaru goodbye for him and then he left. He then went to find Sasuke and Sakura hoping this wouldn't be difficult. He found them in the training ground talking actually Sakura was flirting, Sasuke appeared to be ignoring her. He was sitting with his eyes closed, though not in a sleeping manner. When Naruto got nearer his eyes opened and he frowned his usual frown but there was a question in his eyes and Naruto answered it, "I'm going to go to the wizarding world."

Their eyes widened and Naruto just stood waiting for them to say something. Sakura could see something in Sasuke's eyes however she could decifer it but Naruto could and he answered it. She thought back to the wave country mission. She thought about how Sasuke and Naruto had saved Kakashi-sensei. Not only had it shocked her that Naruto had come up with such an excellant plan but also the fact that they had worked together without even having to talk to eachother. It was weird that being in eachother's very presence seemed to infuriate them but if there was a perfect team it would be them. They seemed to share something no else could touch, they seemed to know eachothers thoughts and co-ordinate without even trying. Naruto would never admit it but he longed for Sasuke's approval and Sasuke would never admit it but he saw Naruto as a potential threat, in fact he was probebly the one of the few who knew Naruto was strong even though he'd have hot tongs singeing him before he'd admit it.

"Why Naruto? What about Hokage?" Naruto had a one tracked mind why was he changing it now?

"Sakura-chan," he smiled meaningfully. He had such a kind smile. It made Sakura giggle and it could sometimes even brighten her day but Naruto's smile and unwavring oppomism drove Sasuke insane, "this is an oppertunity to get strong and closer to Hokage," Sakura giggled, a one tracked mind indeed.

Sasuke's face was stotic as usual, "I'm all packed and ready to go at the village gate."

Naruto turned and was about to walk away when he heard Sasuke say, "Naruto," he turned around and saw Sasuke with a familiar smirk on his face, the only thing on his face that ever came close to a smile, "come back stronger because your the one I want to fight the most."

Naruto's face portaryed complete shock much like Sakura's. Shock turned into a smile and he walked away with a wave that promised his soon after return, "I'll be back in two months in time for for the chunin exams and I'll write. Bye."

Sakura gave an enthusiastic but sad wave. It was going to be so quiet now. Naruto went threw the main gates where Dumbledore was waiting with his case which the headmater had conjured with his wand.

"Are you ready child?"

"Are you kidding, I'm ready for anything."

He silently wondered if this happened to his friend Proffessor Fudgeborn, rest his soul, when he went to the land of Eddies to find Kushina, of course the press had a field day, a wizard and a ninja, she was a special child. And he had a feeling so was Naruto.

Dumbledore pulled out the Sake bottle he had used for a portkey and said, "Hold on tight."

Naruto felt a pulling in his mid stomach and he was suddenly flying through the air but he couldn't see anything but mist then he let go when Dumbledore asked and fell on the ground landing on his suitcase, not exactly breaking his fall while he watched Dumbledore float to the ground.

Dumbldore smile at the him, it was always going to be interesting with this boy around.
