Chapter 2: a Fresh start

It was just as Harry suspected, this worlds Archive was a mess, book pages littered around the floor, and, as he picked one up, names where listed out of order, there was not a single correctly archived yearbook.

It was one giant unsorted mess.

It was a good thing then that he had some experience under his belt and magic at his command, he knew how to deal with this mess, it would take a while, yes, but that was to be expected.

He closed his eyes and when he opened them again he was in a nicely organized library "anyone here?" he called out, and to his relief a black cat slunk around the corner, its white unseeing eyes looked at him with slight annoyance.

"what iss it?" the Master Archivist of Feline souls hissed at him, the slightly larger than normal fangs glinting in the not-light.

"Just checking the amount of damage" Harry answered easily "Is human the only Archivist not accounted for?"

The cat sat on her hind legs and looked him over "Finally" she exclaimed "someone who is going to clean up the mess the the Archive of Human Souls became, honestly, I was talking to Gnaw the other day, she's the Master Archivist of Rodents, and she said she went in for a short look, you know, to cross-reference a death, and she said that she couldn't find anything so she left" the cat continued to chatter on about other Archivists and messes in general, Harry had nearly tuned her out but decided against it.

"Didn't catch your name by the way, I'm Cathen, Second Master Archivist of Felines cuz the other got bored and ran off sometime ago" She held out a paw.

"I'm Harry, the new Archivist of Humans, this is my second world actually" Harry said as he touched Cathen's paw briefly, he had learned on his previous world that none of the other Archivists shook hands "I'd better be off, though, I have a lot of work in-frond of me" Harry sighted and turned to leave.

"you might want to reinforce the Death Gates, there are some rumors going around that the Humans are bringing back their dead" Cathen warned a serous look in her eyes.

"Thanks" he gave her a salute and vanished in smoke, reappearing in his own Archive, or what would be his own archive, and sighted.

'Oh well, at least it's only the human Archive that's a mess, better get started with year 0 of Humanity' He thought to himself as he walked to the center of the archive and started to draw a circle on the ground 'good thing I had some practice with this when Master Mort made me reorganize his Archive.'

It was an undefined amount of time later, which could and couldn't have been more or less than an hour, a day or even a year, as there was no time in the Archive, it just was, that Harry stopped the his special Archiving spell, and looked around, only to groan as he had just barely reached year 4.

It was going to take a lot longer than he had originally thought. He was going to feel like he was a millennia older when he was done here.

He felt a cold breeze blow though the archive and blinked, 'that was unusual', Harry thought to himself, he had only felt such a breeze when he had 'accidentally' dropped the resurrection stone and let a wizard resurrect several of his loved ones, (Mort had been most displeased and had given him an earful) the Death Gate had just been opened and someone had been resurrected against his, or her, will.

"Troublesome" Harry murmured to himself as he set out to close the gate again, he looked at the mess again and realized the while someone had just been resurrected, the mess here had made it impossible for him to reverse it anytime soon. 'I'll just lock the gate and get on with archiving' he decided.

He didn't really look at the names, with their death dates appearing in rapid succession, on a random piece of paper near an overloaded desk, and even if he had, he wouldn't have known that Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama had already died several years before.

But Harry didn't notice, and likely wouldn't have cared had he known.

It felt like several years had passed, and he did indeed feel a millennium older as he had predicted, but Harry smiled as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was done, he had organized the archive, he had put everything back where it belonged.

Well, almost everything, there where still a few loose ends here and there, mainly in the shape of several resurrected souls, he'd have to go down there himself to get them, but that would give him the opportunity to get some fun.

He cast an update charm on his hardback notebook he would return when he needed to get himself a new notebook, having mastered archiving-on-the-go, much to his former master's displeasure.

Harry allowed himself to grin as he slipped though the portal into the new world.

'this is going to be fun' he thought 'time to mess with the locals'

Explaining time!

As you have already guessed, Harry arrived in time for the Sound-Sand invasion of Konoha, but he didn't bother intervening, and at the end of the chapter, it's going to be several years after that, I think, hmm, I'll see where my muse takes me. I can eiter make it the start of the war or, well somewhere else... I'll probably have to watch Naruto and Naruto Shiphuden again. Yay!

And I know that at least 4 people are going to read this (hell if I know why) so I'm going to pose the question: where would you like Harry to intervene in the story? (and if you know what episode that was please include that as well) (no grentee that my muse is going to listen)

For these are the reasons I don't write:

1: I write short chapters (I hate short chapters) [from chapter 1]

2: this is totally not what I had in mind! (what my mind thinks and what my hands write are two different things)
