Chapter One: Exams and the Truth
Hogwarts, Dumbledore's office
Dumbledore sighed as he looked out the window of his office, things have been bleak for him ever since the death of the Potters and the disappearance of little Jade Potter eleven years ago, just recently Voldemort had returned possessing his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, thankfully a trio of Gryffindors were able to occupy them until he himself away to drive Voldemort away.
Turning away from the window he strode to his desk and sat down staring blankly in space until a burst of fire announced the arrival of his Phoenix Fawkes "Well friend have you found anything?" he asked softly stroking Fawkes' feathers. Fawkes trilled a song and nodded "You've found her!" he asked in shock, Dumbledore had been send out Fawkes out every day for eleven years in the hopes that the phoenix would be able to find the Potter child. Fawkes nodded again and Dumbledore activated a charm that summoned his Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall and his Potions Master Severus Snape.
"You called for us Headmaster?" Minerva asked when the pair arrived a short while later.
"She has been found," Dumbledore announced to the pairs shock "I will be going personally to where she is with Fawkes."
"What if she is in the clutches of the Dark Lord?" Snape asked.
Dumbledore looked at them "She was sent to another dimension by Lily's final spell," he revealed "It turns out to our luck she was sent to a pocket dimension to ours, I doubt she has been found by the Dark Lord, if she has then all is lost." Dumbledore stood up and Fawkes landed on his shoulder "I shall return within a week at the most." He informed before disappearing in a pillar of flames.

END DREAMSCAPE
Jade gasp as Ryu shook her awake a worried expression on his face as she clutched at him with tears running down her face "It's alright Jade-chan," he soothed as he hugged her gently and rubbed her back while she sobbed in fear "No one will hurt you, I'm here for you, everything will be fine."
Naruto looked in fearfully at Ryu who grimaced at his friend and made a hand sign to get some food ready while Jade continued to cry against Ryu, slowly calming down she hiccup against his shoulder "T-thank you Ryu-kun." She whispered gratefully not letting go as he continued his soothing motions.
"It's fine Jade-chan," he reassured smiling "I don't mind at all."
Jade blushed lightly as she buried her head deeper into his shoulder, this was a normal occurrence for the pair as Jade would often have nightmares and for some reason only Ryu seemed to be able to calm her down afterwards "R-Ryu-kun?" she asked hesitantly.
"Yeah, Jade-chan?" Ryu responded.
"Umm," Jade blushed as she pulled away to looked at him fully "I, I like you," she admitted blushing furiously "And I don't mean in the sibling way, Ryu-kun I think I love you."
Ryu was dumbstruck as he looked at the blushing preteen in front of him "R-really?" he asked awestruck, Jade nodded quickly blushing more "I think I love you two Jade-chan," he admitted himself with a blush "I mean I've always thought you were so pretty and smart, and not to mention you always are serious about your training and I'm rambling aren't I?"
Jade giggled at the heterochromatic teen and leaned in both of them blush and closed her eyes just as their lips met, they remained like that until "Well it's about damn time!" Naruto shouted from the doorway with a huge grin on his face as he looked at the pair with a wide grin on his face while they broke apart blushing furiously "I was wondering when you'd two would finally get together."
"DAMMIT BRO!" Ryu shouted throwing a pillow at the nimble blond who dodged and left the room laughing his ass off "Goddamn blonds." Ryu grumbled making Jade giggle again as she leaned in once more.
"So does this mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked demurely making Ryu blush.
"I-I guess so," he agreed "If you want to be."
Jade's answer was to kiss him again with both of them smiling into it.
Hokage Tower, Office
Sarutobi sighed as he looked at the paperwork in front of him with a small glare hoping that it would decrease on its own, about to get started on it he was interrupted by a pillar of flame that erupted in the center of the room, and ANBU squad was immediately in the room ready to take action against any intruders that appeared, when the Flames died down a man that rivaled Sarutobi's age stood in the center of the room with a crimson-yellow bird perched on his shoulder. "May I help you?" Sarutobi asked crossing his fingers in front of his face with his elbows on the desk.
"Hopefully yes," the man replied pleasantly as he took a seat across from the aged leader nonplussed by the four ANBU ready to strike "My name is Albus Dumbledore, I am the Headmaster of the Hogwarts School to Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Sarutobi sighed deeply and signaled for the ANBU but a Hawk masked one to leave before placing a privacy Jutsu up making Dumbledore raise an eyebrow "You are here for Jade Potter correct?" Sarutobi asked as he stood up and looked over the village.
"Yes she is-" Dumbledore answered only to be interrupted.
"Vitally important due to a prophecy made about the fall of the Dark Wizard Voldemort," Sarutobi finished surprising Dumbledore "The was a note with her when she arrived that explained it to me," he explained looking back at the aged Headmaster "Unfortunately I cannot just give her up."
"Why not?" Dumbledore demanded his voice powerful trying to intimidate the aged leader who smirked and countered it with his own Killing Intent(KI).
"Simple," he growled back "She has a life here along with friends and is currently taking a test to become a shinobi of this village."
Dumbledore recoiled as he felt a wave of fear wash over him as the seemingly venerable man seemed to tower over him "But she is-" he began again only to be interrupted once more.
"Yes I know she is needed," Sarutobi sighed as he stopped the flow of his KI "However she does not know of her heritage yet, I had planned on telling her today after she passes the exam."
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow "You said she was trying to become a shinobi correct?" he asked curiously "I have heard legends about them."
Sarutobi chuckled "Not surprised," he said "There was once a time where we lived alongside the rest of the world, only to separate ourselves once a powerful demon appeared to protect the world until it can be dealt with." Sarutobi sighed again "I am sympathetic to your wish to get her back but I have to know as she is one of my charges and subordinates, what do you plan to do with her?"
"I plan to take her to Hogwarts to train her in her magic," Dumbledore explained as he pulled out a wand and gave it a swish making a tea set appear out of no were "So that she would be ready to fight against Voldemort."
Sarutobi looked over to the Shocked Hawk ANBU "He didn't use Chakra for it," the ANBU said in shock "He was using only his spiritual energies."
Sarutobi blinked in surprise and looked Dumbledore over again and leaned back in his seat "I will allow her to go under a set of conditions," he said "First, you will not meet with her until tomorrow after she is finished her test and I have had the opportunity to explain the truth of her arrival to her, Second, if she does not wish to do this you will drop the matter, understood?" Dumbledore nodded quickly "Finally if she decides to go her team will go with her, this is not negotiable."
"Those are fair stipulations," Dumbledore agreed inclining his head "Do you know how she is doing in her test?"
Sarutobi smirked and pulled out a crystal ball and sent some of his chakra through it and pulled up the image of the academy "Why don't you see for yourself." He said with a grin.
Academy
Everyone was standing around outside as they were waiting for their names to be called for the Taijutsu exam, our ever pranking Trio sat together in the shade of the tree as Ryu sat against it with Jade curled up against him much to the displeasure of her fanboys while Naruto was sprawled in the grass "God I hate written Exams." He moaned and rubbed his temple.
Jade giggled "That's because tou suck at studying Naruto-kun." She said teasingly while Ryu cracked a grin.
About to respond he was interrupted by Kiba's arrival "Hands off my girl Hisanaga!" he growled ferally at Ryu "She's mine!"
Jade raised an eyebrow while Ryu rolled his eyes and Naruto hid a smirk "Oh really Inuzuka?" she asked unamused "Since when was I 'your girl'?"
Kiba smirked and leaned down to grab her arm only to be stopped by Ryu grabbing his wrist "Hands off Inuzuka," Ryu said emotionlessly "Or must I inform Hana-san and Tsume-dono of you continued pestering despite your orders to stop?"
Kiba bared his fangs and growled not even fazing Ryu and was about to retort when "Kiba Inuzuka vs. Ryu Hisanaga!" Iruka called out making Kiba grin.
"Just you wait I'll make her my bitch." He growled walking to the arena making the surrounding students widen their eyes in surprise and fear, hell even Sasuke Uchiha the most arrogant prick in the world knew not to say that in front of Ryu about Jade.
Jade snarled at the feral boy as Ryu stood calmly up with a deadly look that softened when he looked at Jade "Kick his ass will you?" she asked placing a kiss on his lips for luck.
"Planning on it." Ryu whispered back giving her a hug before walking to the arena and stood across from Kiba.
"Alright, no kill shots, no jutsus, weapons are allowed and when I say stop you stop." Mizuki Touji, the taijutsu instructor announced "Begin!"
Kiba launched himself at Ryu and lashed out with his claws only to be brushed aside straight into a kick and was sent flying back as Ryu slid into the stance for Lightning Kickboxing(From Yu Yu Hakusho) and wait for Kiba to make the next move, his eyes were dull as he stared at the feral boy.
Kiba growled as he glared at Ryu and ran head first at full tilt and threw another punch only for Ryu to brush it aside and round house kick the back of Kiba's head "You don't seem to learn do you dog breath?" Ryu asked mockingly as Kiba kept trying to attack Ryu head only only to be brush aside straight into devastating kicks "Haven't you learned by now your style is useless against my Lightning Kickboxing."
"SHUT UP!" Kiba shouted and hurled a handful of shuriken at the brunette only for Ryu to slide out of the way and pull his Tantos out and rushed forward moving to the offence.
Ryu ducked under Kiba's counter strike and kneed him in the gut causing him to double over in pain followed up by axe kicking the wannabe genin and placed the blades of his Tantos against Kiba's throat, Ryu lent in next to Kiba's ear "Just remember this Inuzuka," he whispered "If you ever touch my girlfriend without her permission or outside of a spar, I will remove everything that makes you a man, clear?" Without waiting for an answer Ryu smoothly rose to his feet and moved back to his friends sheathing his tantos.
"The bastard is still alive?" Naruto asked "You must be getting soft bro."
Jade giggled as she embraced Ryu once he sat back down "Thank you for defending, my honor," she said teasingly giving him a quick kiss "I hope that idiot will leave me alone now."
The trio watched the rest of the spars half interestedly, than Jade quickly mopped the floor with Sakura Haruno, one of Sasuke's biggest fangirls, Sakura made it worse for herself when she accused Jade that she was dating Ryu now in an attempt to get Sasuke's attention, she was currently in the infirmary with the nurse trying to get her head out of her ass. Naruto went up next against some random student and easily out lasted the kid with his defensive style of fighting that took full advantage of Naruto's incredible stamina and endurance that allowed him to outlast most jonin.
The class was now waiting in the classroom waiting to be called up for their jutsu test, Jade decided to sit on Ryu's lap making the brunette teen blush at the action as he felt her body press up against him sensually "Am I turning you on Ryu-kun?" she whispered seductively smiling as he blushed even more.
"Can you blame me?" he countered "Especially when there is such a beauty on my lap."
Jade blushed at him compliment but sighed when Ryu was called for the test "See ya on the other side." She whispered softly after exchanging a kiss for good luck leaving her and Naruto on their own "God I hate waiting."
Naruto nodded in understanding "I know, at least you're not the second last one." He grumbled before smirking slyly "So you've finally admitted it to Ryu huh?"
Jade's cheeks adopted a fait pink hue "Yeah," she agreed "It feels good, being know as Ryu Hisanaga's girlfriend." She giggled a little "But I am thankful that I didn't throw myself at him like some kind of fangirl."
Naruto chuckled "Yeah I don't think Ryu would have liked that," he agreed as Jade's name was called "See ya on the other side!"
Jade raised her hand in acknowledgement as she left the room and entered the testing room, she went through each of the basic three academy jutsus with ease and earned her Hai-ate which she promptly tied to her waist and joined Ryu, who had his tied onto his bicep under the tanto on his right arm, in the wait for their friend and roommate. Jade promptly squealed and glomped Naruto once he walked through the door wearing his Hai-ate proudly on his forehead and a massive grin on his face "You did it!" she shouted in excitement "I knew you could do it!"
"Great job bro." Ryu complemented with a grin patting Naruto's back "So did you use the Jutsu Sarutobi-jiji taught ya?"
Naruto grinned and nodded "Yeah I did," he admitted "I'm glad you guys convinced me to go to him for help."
The trio sat back down with grins on their faces and continued to talk as they waited for the tests to finish, when the last student, Ino Yamanaka, entered followed by Iruka and Mizuki the trio looked expectantly at their sensei "As of now you are all considered genin of Konohagakure," Iruka announced to the classes pleasure "Be here tomorrow at noon for you team assignments, oh Naruto, Jade and Ryu, the Hokage wishes to speak with you all."
Hokage's Office
Sarutobi sighed as he looked out over the village not looking forward to the coming conversation whatsoever, he had Dumbledore escorted to a hotel to stay at for the night so that he could speak with the three genin privately, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts "Enter," he called out turning and smiled at the sight of the three newly christened genin "Thank you for coming, please sit."
"So what's up jiji?" Naruto asked with a grin "Gonna hand over your hat to me now?"
Sarutobi chuckle softly and shook his head "I'm afraid not Naruto," he replied seriously "This is about Jade's origins and the villagers hatred for you." The three genin stiffened at his words and paid direct attention to the venerable leader "Naruto, do you know the story of the Kyuubi no Kitsune?"
Naruto nodded "Yeah," he confirmed "The Kyuubi attacked the village on October tenth twelve years ago, it caused a great deal of damage before it was defeated by the Yondaime."
"Not entirely true," Sarutobi sighed sorrowfully "In truth the Yondaime could never hope to defeat the Kyuubi, instead he did the next best thing, he sealed it."
Naruto was stunned to silence while Jade and Ryu blinked owlishly at the aged leader who looked like he had aged even more "He sealed it in me didn't he?" Naruto asked fearfully "T-then what the villagers say is true, I-I'm a demon-"
"NO YOU'RE NOT NARUTO UZUMAKI" Jade roared in one of her rare displays of anger "IF YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN I WILL KICK YOUR ASS SO HARD THAT YOU ANCESTORS WILL FEEL IT IS THAT UNDERSTOOD!" Naruto nodded cowed by the intimidating kunoichi while Ryu and Sarutobi huddled in the corner along with the ANBU guards completely chibified in fear "You are Naruto Uzumaki, brother in all but blood to myself and Ryu-kun, NOT the Kyuubi."
"T-thanks Jade-chan." Naruto whispered gratefully as the KI that Jade was excluding faded "You're right I'm not the Kyuubi, but Naruto Uzumaki the next Hokage!"
Sarutobi chuckled as he sat back down While Ryu resumed sitting next to Jade "Now Jade you are not from Konoha originally," he started turning to Jade who sat straighter at his attention "You are an orphan as both of you parents died protecting you, you are from outside this pocket dimension that we shinobi created to seal the Bijuu away from the rest of the world when they appeared, from the note I found on you when you appeared in this room I learned that you were being targeted by a Dark Wizard known as Voldemort, your mother apparently used a forbidden spell, witches and wizards equivalent to jutsus, to send you here sacrificing herself in the process," Sarutobi sighed as he stood up and strode over to his portrait and opened the vault behind it and pulled Lily's letter to Jade and handed to her to read "Your mother requested that you were to receive this when you turned twelve, so I decided it would be better suited for you to read when you become a genin."
Jade gulped and nodded opening the letter.
Darling Jade,
As I am writing this your father is fighting against the Dark Wizard Voldemort in the attempts of buying us enough time to escape, unfortunately the entire area was blocked off by the Death Eaters that follow Voldemort, so in desperation I have decided to send you away from this dimension in the hopes of protecting you from Voldemort, I guess by now you are twelve years of age and hopefully have been surrounded by a loving family, for most witches and wizards our powers erratically manifest themselves when we are in danger often with random effects, there is a school here that teaches us on how to harness this power properly, I can only hope that the schools Headmaster Dumbledore can reach you where you are so that you can control this ability.
Remember, your father and I will always love you are sweet princess,
Lily Potter.
Tears welled up in Jade's eyes as she read the letter from her mother and finally broke into tears against Ryu's shoulder as he gently embraced and soothed her while she sobbed against him, after a while she finally calmed and shifted herself in Ryu's lap to face Sarutobi "So why haven't these powers manifested?" she asked curiously.
Sarutobi leaned against his chair and studied her "We believe that this 'magic' uses only the spiritual side of your chakra, and since you have been training yourself in chakra control since you were six you were able to prevent these manifestations." He explained "And before you ask, yes someone has arrived seeking you, the Headmaster for Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, you will be meeting with him tomorrow after your team placements."
"What did he want to do?" Jade asked cautiously eying the elderly Hokage.
Sarutobi looked at her seriously "I will not lie to you Jade, this man named Voldemort has apparently returned and is once again terrorizing the Wizarding world," He stated as he crossed his fingers in front of him "There apparently is a prophecy that speaks of you defeating Voldemort thus saving their world, Dumbledore, the Headmaster would be able to explain better tomorrow, there are two stipulations for him, first if you refuse the matter is dropped and he will leave, second, your team will travel with you and learn this 'magic' alongside you while your sensei will continue your shinobi training, so do not be afraid to say no or yes, make your decision based on what you wish to do."
Jade nodded and the trio stood and bowed to the Hokage and left for home. When they had arrived they shared a quiet meal together as thoughts of the recent revelations and got ready for bed. Ryu stared up at his ceiling as thoughts ran through his head only to be interrupted by a soft knock on the door "Yeah?" he called out and sat up when he saw jade enter wearing a night robe "Yes Jade-chan?"
"W-would you mind if I slept with you tonight?" She asked hesitantly with a small blush "I just think I'd be able to sleep better tonight beside you." Ryu smiled reassuringly and shifted over making some room for Jade which she quickly occupied and snuggled up against his bare chest and listened to his heartbeat "Thank you Ryu-kun." She whispered softly as he stroked her hair.
"I'm always there for you Jade-chan," he soothed "No matter what."
Jade smiled as she drifted off into a sleep filled with pleasant dreams for a change instead of her usual nightmares.
