I'm baaaackk! I have so many ideas right now for this story like, yes! Hopefully writers block doesn't come and bite me in the ass. Anyways let me inform you some important information:
Naruto[ANBU NAME: FOX]
Sasuke[ANBU NAME: SNAKE]
Sakura[ANBU NAME: SLUG]
Gaara[ANBU NAME: VIPER]
Temari[ANBU NAME: OWL]
Shikamaru[ANBU NAME:DEER] *You know cause shika means deer in Japanese, and his name is SHIKAmaru, so I was like *makes weird hand motions toward Shikamaru's name*
Neji[ANBU NAME:HAWK]
Tenten[ANBU NAME: PANDA]
Kiba[ANBU NAME:DOG]
Shino[ANBU NAME: BUG]
Hinata[ANBU NAME: SWAN]
Ino[ANBU NAME: CAT]
Chouji[ANBU NAME: CROCODILE]
Rock Lee[ANBU NAME: MEERKAT]
Sai[ANBU NAME:DRAGON]
These are their code ANBU names, memorize them, cause this is how they'll be named among the students and staff. I am also aware that a lot of fanfictions, like this one, have somewhat the same code names but I changed them into what I think suits them best in my own personal opinion. Credit goes to whoever thought of naming the ANBU code names by animals. ITS GENIUS!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and HP except the plot of the story.
Chapter Two: The Discussion
Naruto was standing in the middle of the Hokage's office with a determined face, behind him stood another dark haired and sickly pale shinobi who had an emotionless face. Kakashi stood behind his desk with an unreadable face.
"I believe that Sai should be coming with us, he was apart of team 7 and his skills would be a helpful advantage." Naruto spoke. Kakashi stared at the shinobi behind Naruto and blinked.
"Would you be willing to go to this mission Sai?" Kakashi spoke. Naruto grinned and looked at his comrade behind him.
"Of course, Lord Sixth." Sai smiled at Kakashi and Kakashi nodded.
"Very well. It is decided. Dumbledore-San would be arriving any minute now." Kakashi glanced at the clock on the wall. "Are they arriving soon?"
"Hai. Sakura-Chan is making sure they all come in time." Naruto grinned. Kakashi nodded.
"Naruto, remember what we discussed a week ago?" Kakashi asked. Naruto furrowed his eyebrows remembering the day Kakashi told him to take the mission seriously. Naruto, was somewhat insulted when Kakashi had told him this. Naruto knows he could be a knucklehead sometimes, but that's how he is, it's better than being some emo, like Sasuke. But Naruto can be serious when he wants to. So for Kakashi to remind him that Naruto's careless attitude had to stop during the mission, insulted Naruto. Coming from his own sensei, Naruto wanted to prove a point.
"Yes Kaka-sensei, I am aware of what I must do, I promise I won't let you down, dettabayo." Naruto said his catch phrase in a serious tone that caught Sai off guard. Kakashi smiled at the determination in Naruto's eyes. The Hokage new that he hurt Naruto with his words, but he couldn't risk the mission when Naruto acts like a knucklehead. Sometimes it comes in handy, but for this mission, it seems that Naruto has to have his game face on.
"Good." Kakashi said. The room suddenly was filled with ninja and Kakashi smiled when they had their bags all packed and ready in their ANBU gear. They were talking amongst themselves excitedly.
"We're not going on a holiday Choji, it's a mission. No reason being that excited." Neji spoke, but Kakashi could see it in his pupil less eyes that he too was a bit excited to enter a new world. Kakashi stood up and motioned for everyone to line up in order. Suddenly a gust of wind appeared and an old man appeared in the middle of the room. He was facing the crowd of ninja who had already put their masks on, when realizing someone was arriving. The older man smiled and groomed his beard. Turning around to face the Hokage.
"Ah, you must be Kakashi Hatake, I am your client, Albus Dumbledore." Albus spoke and lifted his hand to shake the Hokage's hand. Kakashi took it and both men shook hands.
"Dumbledore-San, it is a pleasure to meet you." Kakashi said.
"So I see, you have prepared the ninja. But are they the best?" Dumbledore spoke turning back to the ninja, who were standing silently behind him.
"Hai, Dumbledore-San, I chose these ANBU shinobi myself." Kakashi spoke. Gusts of sand appeared and Kakashi sighed. Gaara and Temari appeared, both in their ANBU gear as well, face hidden underneath their masks.
"We apologize for our tardiness, I had to handle things back home and it took much of my time." Gaara sighed angrily.
"It quiet alright, you must be the Kazekage from the Hidden sand."Dumbledore spoke before Kakashi could even open his mouth. Gaara nodded slightly and Dumbledore smiled.
"Very well." Dumbledore said. "Leaf shinobi, Sand, I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, may I please have your names." Naruto stepped up and bowed.
"Dumbledore-San, for safety purposes we will not use our real names, until we deem that our safety is secured." Naruto explained. His blue eyes shining through the mask. Dumbledore nodded in understanding. "I am Fox. Captain of this team." Naruto bowed and Dumbledore had to refrain his shock, he assumed that the Kazekage was to be made captain of the team considering that he is the Kazekage. Was this Fox, actually very skilled to be the captain? Dumbledore pushed the question aside for another time and smiled at the team captain before giving him a polite nod, then moving on to the next shinobi who happened to be Sasuke, who stepped up slightly behind Naruto.
"You may call me Snake." Sasuke spoke in a dry tone. Dumbledore lifted an eyebrow at the code name, and the cold attitute coming from the shinobi, but nodded nonetheless.
"Slug." Said with a wink and a peace sign. Dumbledore gave her a small wave and smiled, before glancing at the next person.
"Hello. You can call me Dragon." Sai greeted the older man. Dumbledore smiled at the shinobi and gave him a small nod.
"Hello Dragon." Dumbledore replied to which Sai waved. Dumbledore found the ninja somewhat adorable albeit an adult shinobi. Dumbledore smiled and walked away to the next ninja.
"Deer." Shikamaru said putting his hands inside his pockets and yawned. Kakashi's eye twitched and resisted the urge to slap the ninja upside the head at his lack of manners.
"Cat." Ino stepped forward and dragged her fingers through the long length of her hair, making it swish back and forth.
"Crocodile." Choji said in a gruff voice as he patted his stomach, a sign that he was hungry but was resisting the urge to pull out a bag of potato chips.
"Hawk. It's nice to meet you sir." Neji bowed and Dumbledore bowed back.
"Likewise, Hawk." Dumbledore replied before going to the next ninja.
"Panda." Tenten gave a small wave and tilted her head to the side as she looked at the older man. Dumbledore smiled at the cuteness of the ninja and waved back.
"Meerkat, at your service!." Lee yelled and gave the older man a thumbs up and Dumbledore took a step back not expecting the bubble of energy that was in front of him. Especially after he was presented to the previous ninjas who were all calm and collected. Dumbledore smiled awkwardly and gave the shinobi an awkward thumbs up back at the ninja. Tenten fought the urge to giggle at the action and coughed quietly instead. Dumbledore quirked an eyebrow as he glanced at Merrkat again before he drove his attention towards the ninja with a dog mask and then down to his pet. Dumbledore wondered if it was gonna come along as well. The ninja who was petting the dog stood up as the headmaster glanced at him with his full attention. Kiba coughed and nodded at the man.
"Dog." Kiba awkwardly smiled underneath the mask before he motioned to his dog. "And this is my ninja dog Akumaru. He will also be joining the mission." Kiba said and Dumbledore simply smiled and nodded, expecting that outcome
"It's nice to meet you Dog, Akumaru." Dumbledore nodded towards Kiba and Akumaru as he was walking towards the next person.
"Bug." Was all Shino replied in his deep voice. Dumbledore furrowed his eyebrows at the ninja in curiosity, but smiled nonetheless.
"Swan, Happy to meet you Dumbledore-San." Hinata said in her soft voice, bowing to the old man. Dumbledore bowed back and smiled at her kindness. He noted that Swan had the same pupil less eyes as Hawk and not to mention the politeness that they shared.
"It's lovely to meet you too Swan." Dumbledore replied before moving on to the next.
"Owl. I am the Kazekage's older sister." Temari stepped up and bowed to Dumbledore, who politely bowed back.
"A pleasure to meet you Owl." Dumbledore replied and smiled as he reached back to Gaara.
"Please call me Viper, instead of my real name, like Fox said, safety is very important among our group." Gaara said making eye contact with Dumbledore. Dumbledore clasped his hands together in front of him and nodded.
"Of course, I completely understand." Dumbledore smiled and glanced back at the sixth Hokage. "It was a real pleasure to meet all of you, but time is of the essence. may we discuss the matter at hand."
"Yes of course." Kakashi said standing up from his position from his desk. Dumbledore was slightly caught off guard at the height of the silver haired Hokage. Dumbledore felt quite small next to the man, but years of standing next to Hagrid, the insecurity quickly left, just as it arrived. Kakashi looked down at the man and walked passed him.
"I have a file of your magic school, that the Third Hokage created, I have looked at it and analyzed the rules and regulations of your school and realized I have to put in some conditions in order." Kakashi explained, grabbing the file from the shelf. Dumbledore stroked his beard and nodded. This was news to Dumbledore, he wasn't aware that Sarutobi created a file about his magic school, the thought making him somewhat angry but understanding.
"Yes... I would say I deem that fair. Alright then, express your conditions sixth Hokage." Dumbledore said looking around the room for a chair. Do these ninja sit? The only chair in the room was the Hokage's seat and he didn't want to be rude and ask for it, so he slipped out his wand and summoned a chair before he sat down. Dumbledore expected some kind of reaction to his magic, but no one deemed it of importance. Albus quirked an eyebrow, have the shinobi witnessed magic before or simply don't care? Albus shook the thought away and waited for the sixth Hokage to speak.
Naruto quirked his eyebrow at the sudden appearance of the chair and wanted to scoff. Wizards, lazy the whole lot of them. Couldn't he just stand? Naruto's thoughts were pulled by the sound of Kakashi's voice.
"I mean no offence, but your school as I see as my perspective seems a bit too strict, and of course there is no problem with that. But my ninja are not children, they are adults, so there will be fowl language and I don't want them being scowled at like some child in primary school." Kakashi sneered at the thought of getting in trouble for using words that are not even considered profanity in Konoha. Albus quirked an eyebrow at this. Students in Hogwarts usually use profanity, there is no surprise there, but when caught they are given detention and like Kakashi said, getting scowled at like a child in primary school.
"Very well, I will talk with the staff privately." Dumbledore set his mouth in a tight line. He didn't like the condition, mostly because he didn't want his students suddenly cursing like a sailor just cause the new security measures don't have a vocabulary filter.
"We would also need a large private area for training, somewhere safe, so no one could get hurt." Fox spoke up. His eyes serious as he glanced at Dumbledore. Slug and Snake stared at their team mate with hidden shock. This side of Naruto was mostly hidden and very rare, so to see Naruto actually taking this very seriously let relief flood through Sakura's veins.
"The forbidden forest is off limits to all students. That should be enough for your training area. Along with the Quidditch pitch." Dumbledore said respectfully glancing at the blonde haired shinobi, feeling the authorative tone in the ninja's voice that can rival his own.
"You also spoke of a child that would need protection." Ino reminded and Dumbledore nodded.
"Yes, his name is Harry James Potter, it is his fourth year at Hogwarts, and he is only 14 years old." Dumbledore then proceeded to pull out a picture from under his robes and gave it to Naruto. "This should help you figure out who you are supposed to be looking for at the train station." Naruto took the picture and analyzed every detail on the boy's face before passing it on to the shinobi next to him, who happened to be Sasuke, who grazed his fingertips on Naruto's hand, from taking the picture away.
"Dumbledore-San, are the students and staff aware of ninja?" Deer asked.
Ninja were somewhat aware of the wizarding world, but is mostly ignored, considering in the shinobi world, wizards and witches are considered to have weak chakra. It sounded big headed on their part, but considering they have the Hyuuga clan that can measure chakra levels, a powerful wizard or witch out of a bunch would be defeated by a ninja in a matter of minutes.
"The staff are aware, although, students do not know, considering all history containing the shinobi culture has stopped being taught by the professors at the school, by a law passed on by the ministry, seeing as in their views, you are all savages." Dumbledore said, which caused every shinobi to look up and glare at the man infront of them.
"And how do you view us, Dumbledore-San." Sai asked in a sweetly tone, although it wasn't meant to come out sweet. Dumbledore knew this and coughed, afraid to answer in an offending manner.
"I suppose I wouldn't go as far as to call you savages." Dumbledore paused. "Although, I do disagree on many of your beliefs. Killing, as far as I know, isn't the best way to go." Dumbledore carefully worded his words. Still. The ninjas didn't like the answer.
"We must do what we have to do in order to survive, Dumbledore-San" Bug replied, as he stared at his insect crawl around his fingers.
"The point is, we don't want to scare off the children by merely walking on water or on ceilings." Shikamaru sighed, going back to the topic before they have an argument.
"A brief summary during the sorting ceremony will be said, to inform all students of the new security measures." Dumbledore replied and Shikamaru nodded at the answer. It was good enough for him. With that said he leaned back onto the wall and closed his eyes.
"If I may change the topic and shed light towards Harry Potter, I would like it if a ninja were to keep an eye on him so he doesn't get himself into trouble, or worse, killed." Dumbledore frowned. Naruto nodded.
"Yes, at least one ninja would be supervising Harry, day and night, my team and I will create a cycle on who will be taking turns throughout the days." Naruto explained. Dumbledore nodded.
"Very well." Dumbledore grinned. Albus was a bit weary on hiring shinobi to his school, but he feels secure now, considering he has met them, and deems them fit for the role, and how determined they are to succeed in their mission.
"One more thing." Snake said stepping forward. Albus turned towards the ninja and raised a single eyebrow at him. Sasuke glanced at Kakashi, giving him a look that says, 'I am about to say something impolite, blink if you want me to stop.' Kakashi didn't blink.
"From what I know, your school is filled with little spoiled gakis. I want you to strictly inform them to respect us like we will respect them, if we don't get such treatment then I will personally gut them and feed them their remain-"
"Snake!" Naruto yelled out, looking at his team mate in disbelief. Sasuke glared but sighed.
"They will be punished, in whatever punishment my captain deems to see fit." Sasuke said rolling his eyes. Albus nodded hesitantly staring at the Uchiha with uncertainty. Did they have to take this one? He's not so sure if he wants this ninja entering his school's enterance.
"Very well, then I suppose that you will have the same authority over the students, much like the professors." Dumbledore sighed. Before he looked at Kakashi. "I suppose we should discuss payment." Dumbledore sighed. He knows that it would be rather pricy, considering there is 15 shinobi. "Very well, I suggest 2 million ryo... would that be good enough for you to accept the mission?" Dumbledore asked. Kakashi glanced at Naruto who took a glance at each and everyone of the shinobi.
"We accept the payment." Naruto replied. Dumbledore smiled and went to summon the money with magic, but Naruto stopped him.
"No, we get paid after the mission is complete." Naruto explained.
"It's our shinobi way," replied Lee with a smile, although Dumbledore couldn't see it, he knew that Meerkat was grinning behind his mask.
"Are you sure? Its a year long mission, I wouldn't want you to arrive the school empty handed." Dumbledore smiled. Kiba scoffed.
"No worries, Dumbledore-San, we get paid very well considering we're ANBU, we have enough cash to last us at least all years of Hogwarts education." Dog replied. Hinata scolded him for boasting about his pay but Kiba just shrugged and grinned.
"Yes... I see." Dumbledore replied not wanting to think about what these ninja do in order to get that money.
"Well if we discussed all important matters, I would like to give you the map of the school along with the names of the students who are attending Hogwarts and a list of staff, excluding the house elves." Dumbledore mumbled that last part, but the shinobi didn't seem to care about their magical creatures.
"Its all good and ready. Now how are we gonna get there?" Choji asked, skipping his good manners and is now munching on BBQ flavored potato chips. Dumbledore heard Deer and Cat sigh.
"Well by portkey of course!" Dumbledore exclaimed. He was somewhat glad now that he can help the ninja transport using magic.
"Great, where is this portkey?" Sakura asked, expecting some kind of portal opening in mid air. Instead, Dumbledore went digging back into his robes and pulled out an old dirty looking boot. Dumbledore held it out, for all the ninja to admire. To say they were not amused was an understatement. Tenten looked at the boot and then back at Dumbledore.
"Eeh? Dumbledore-San did you pull out the wrong magical device?" Tenten asked. Dumbledore frowned at this as he stared at the portkey in his hand.
"No no no this is, oh well it doesn't matter, we need to be leaving now, Potter should be arriving the train station soon, now I need each of you to place a finger on the dirty ol-" cough. "Portkey." Dumbledore scowled at himself as he stammered. Each shinobi placed a finger on the portkey and waved goodbye at Kakashi who simply put his hand up and smiled. After all the shinobi, and the client left, Kakashi was left alone in his office, well at least until Shizune entered the room with some more tea.
Meanwhile the group of ANBU were all being transported to the train station, where Harry Potter is said to be arriving shortly. Naruto and the rest of the team felt odd by the way they were transported by a boot. To team 7 the transportation felt like when Obito sucked them up into his stupid eye hole. Naruto didn't really mind the feeling, but he couldn't say anything for the rest of the team considering Choji said something about throwing up the last bag of potato chips once he landed back on even ground.
Once they were all safely transported the ninjas quickly took in their surroundings and sure enough they were standing in the middle of a train station.
"Alright, I suppose I best be off, I need to prepare everything for the sorting ceremony, I will see you lot back in the castle, but before I go I want to charm your vocals." Dumbledore spoke.
"For what?" Meerkat asked and Dumbledore laughed. Naruto's eyebrow twitched at the sound. He really just wanted to shout out and ask why the old man was laughing.
"Well you do realize we speak English here at Hogwarts, I've been speaking to you guys in Japanese. But now its your turn to speak a language or two." Dumbledore smiled before pulling his wand out. With a wave of his wand and a spell muttered from his lips, the ninja realized they can understand what the people around them were saying.
"Now, you see. You lot can speak English now, don't fret, you will still be able to speak in Japanese if you want to." Dumbledore explained and smiled. "Now I best be off." and with that said the old man disappeared. The group noticed the frightening stares that the shinobi were getting from the people around them.
"Oi, Fox, look there, six o'clock, is that the Potter kid?" Choji said surprising the group as he spoke English, but quickly forgetting as they all followed the line of vision that Choji was seeing.
"Hai, that's him." Fox replied. Ino made a clicking sound with her tongue.
"I pictured Potter-san much taller." Ino said glancing at the boy.
"Quickly lets follow him." Fox ordered, as he completely ignored Cat's comment. The group of ninja went in different directions, but all entered inside the brick wall of 9 and three quarters.
"Alright, Viper, Owl, Hawk, Tenten, and Slug, you five climb on top of the train. The rest of you, use a transformation jutsu to look like a student." The five shinobi parted ways as they followed the captains order.
The other nine transformed into unrecognizable Hogwarts students, while Ino looks much older. Naruto did his own transformation jutsu, and now looks like a first year, with messy brown hair and a whiskerless face. Sasuke was a blonde, tall and lanky, first year, Sai, was a red headed girl that appeared to be on her third or fourth year as a student. Ino on the other hand, was in uniform, that looks like she pushes around a trolley full of sweets. Her hair was no longer long and blonde, but short and brunette.
Choji, transformed himself into a fit seventh year student, sporting the Ravenclaw robes. Kiba and Akumaru both transformed into twin brothers with blonde hair, also seventh year students, sporting Hufflepuff robes. Lee poofed into an actractive fifth year Slytherin student with dark hair and a chiseled jaw line. Shikimaru transformed himself into a fourth year female student with golden brown hair wearing a Ravenclaw uniform. Hinata turned herself into a sixth year Slytherin boy who had curly blonde hair, and lastly Shino transformed himself into a first year, with dark hair and green eyes. Naruto nodded at their appearances
"Alright, Bug, Swan, you two guard the front of the train. Cat, Crocadile, you guys go to the back, Dog and Akumaru you take the second train compartment. Meerkat and Sai you take the third compartment. Deer, you take the fifth, Sasuke and I will take the one Harry's on." Fox instructed. The pairs all fled to their respective spots seconds after Naruto finished explaining the plan.
Naruto and Sasuke, who looked above the train could make out the five shadows of their comrades above the train, with that noticed, they entered the train and walked into the compartment Harry Potter was in.
When Naruto slid open the door, pairs of eyes all landed towards Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto inwardly sighed while Sasuke gave an evil like grin.
The mission has begun.
