Disclaimer: I don't think that I can make polyjuice potion that I need to change into J.K Rowling or Kishimoto Masashi, so I don't think I can convince any of Harry Potter or Naruto fans that I own those stories.
Author's Note: I have good news to spread to all of you! I have found my fanfiction ideas book that was misplaced sometime ago! Man, I'm really happy for that, because I'm too lazy to write all of my ideas back (plus there is no way I can remember all of those ideas written there). But I have bad news as well. It looks like that I won't be able to update my fics faster because starting from August 18, I have to go back for lesson full force (damn). I want to get better mark than last term and it seems that I will be busier than before. Anyway, I'll try to update all of my fics as quickly as possible.
About my holiday in my home, my family and my mom's friends (all counted 14 people including us) went to Karimunjawa island (it is in Indonesia if you're wondering) for 2 days. Good, I hate the voyage! It was bad for my stomach (and apparently to other passengers' stomachs too). Thankfully I didn't puke although the same couldn't be said to my mom and other passengers (they learned from their mistakes though and when they went back to Semarang city, Central Java using the same boat that literally made their stomachs churned, they took medicines before even went aboard the ship).
Not much I can say about my holiday, except that it wasn't really that great. Out of 27 islands, we only visited 5 of them. The only somewhat good time was when we were snorkeling in Menjangan Kecil Island. Thankfully I wasn't injured when I swam, cuz there are many urchins there (and many of them were big. Caution: you should bring scissors or something sharp to cut those spines). Speaking of urchins, do you know that they are called 'bulu babi' in Indonesian? I mean, common! In English it is translated as 'pig fur'! I will understand if they call it 'bulu landak' or 'porcupine fur', but really, pig? I don't think I have seen any pig that have fur as long and sharp like those urchins I saw. I admit that the scenery inside the sea there was nice and all, but I also wondered whether there were sharks there or not. Plus 2 times stomachaches in 2 voyages were too much for me to handle just to see that. I'm kinda disappointed with the lack of accommodation there, though I guess that being with all of the members of my family there was a definite plus. And remembering that my brother's hand was bitten by a clown fish-yes, a clown fish! Can you believe it! The clown fish was in the same pool with 6 or so tame sharks (I don't know the name of its species only that it wasn't wild like white shark and its size was no more than a meter. The sharks were taken care in a small pool (really small, not a big pool like I first thought, very disappointing) in Menjangan Besar Island) and yet my brother was bitten by the small colourful fish instead of by the sharks. Of course it was because my bro disturbed the fish and the anemone where it resided (Geez, he really couldn't keep his hands off to himself).
Anyway the 2 days trip wasn't satisfying at all, especially when you had to endure 2 times 3.5 hours of bad voyage (in the 1st voyage most of the puking passengers threw up at the same time, that it was funny to remember now—can't say that it was funny when I was with them because I also had a bad case of stomachache) in those 2 days. Going back there is a definite no, no, except if I can spend more than 2 days there, so I can explore more and of course better accommodations and professionalism from the guide (which was bad, I tell you).
Btw, sorry for the late update (as you know I said that I would come back at August 18), but I have to sort out my lesson schedule, cuz it is messed up and also for other reasons that I won't bother to tell.
Oh well, just read now, I won't hold you anymore than this.
Chapter TwoTazuna didn't know what to say about the young man in front of him. Despite the relaxed pose the dark haired man had, something about him screamed 'Piss me off and you'll end with none of your limbs intact!'
Tazuna admitted that he wasn't a shinobi and that he didn't have the honed instinct that many shinobi seemed to have, but as a human being he had a…survival instinct. And it was exactly that instinct that warned him to be cautious in dealing with this man and to not do something that would land him in the wrong side of him. Tazuna shivered. This was just like the feeling he got when Zabuza radiated off his infamous killing intent, only this time the man in front of him didn't even need to move a muscle to make him felt like a rat trapped with a snake that was ready to bite it.
"-ry Potter (1) ," he snapped his head to his daughter. It seemed that he was too immersed with his thought to hear her talk.
"What did you say?" her daughter sighed.
"Let me introduce you. His name is Harry Potter," that was certainly not a common name among people in Wave. Hell, he would even bet that it wasn't common at all in the whole continent! "I found him unconscious in the beach 5 days ago and brought him home and treated him."
Tazuna would have screamed in anger at his daughter's act of kindness when she finished talking, if not for the young man's presence.
How could she! Bringing a stranger under their roof! What if he was Gatou's man!
Well, something told him that he wasn't one of the bastard's lackeys, but that was beside the point!
Mustering his courage and taking a deep breath, he turned to the young man in the room. Dangerous or not, he didn't want the man to think he was the boss here. He opened his mouth and almost said something when he stared at the endless pit of a pair of emerald eyes stared back. The green eyes were so deep and intense that he almost forgot to breath when he gazed at them. Gulping, he proceeded once more.
"Listen here, young man," the young man blinked. " I don't care if my daughter took care and trust you, but believe me that if you dare to harm my family you'll pay for that! Do you get it?" he shouted the last part with his last courage, before taking a step back.
"Er…" the young man looked confused and threw a pleading glance to Tsunami.
That threw him out of guard. Of all things he expected the young man would react with his warning, this wasn't it. He expected anger, or even amusement, not confusion! Infact it seemed that he didn't understand a bit of what he was talking abou—.
"Uhm…I forget to tell you that he also didn't understand our language, dad" was his daughter's only explanation.
Well, that did it. Tazuna felt like he looked like a living tomato right now. He had gathered all of his courage to warn the young man, and the said young man didn't even understand what he was talking about. How…embarrassing.
"WHAT DID YOU MEAN HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND OUR LANGUAGE!"
And that blonde kid really should try to shut his mouth for once! He forgot completely about the genin team he had hired.
"Just like what my daughter said, brat!" Tazuna cursed inwardly for this kid' horrible tact.
"B-BUT HOW COULD HE DIDN'T KNOW IT?"
BAM! A large bump was formed on the blond boy's head courtesy of the ever-terrifying pink haired girl. Tazuna sweat dropped even when he had seen it many times during their journey, while Tsunami looked horrified at the blatant violence, which came from the pink haired girl.
"SHUT UP, NARUTO!"
"BUT SAKURA-CHAN!" he whined. The other genin, Sasuke, scoffed at the embarrassing act, but still held his guard, wary eyes locked with the dark haired young man.
Tazuna took a discreet glance—or at least what he thought discreet— at the emerald eyed man and found that he seemed to be amused with the kids' acts. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't find them annoying and kill them. He had paid the team, and it wouldn't do well if he killed them before they completed their job.
/Hi, my name is Harry Potter/ the young man introduced himself.
"What?" the bridge builder asked confusedly. The only thing he understood was the name.
"Um…name is…Harry Potter?" he asked unsurely with heavy accent. Obviously he was having difficulty with the language.
"He's just introducing himself, dad," Tsunami assured him.
"Oh…" he quickly snapped out of his thought when he realized that he was staring. "Tazuna (AN: what is Tazuna's surname?), I'm Tsunami's father." The young man in front of him nodded, before he turned to the other guests with questioning gaze.
"Who're they, dad?" his daughter asked.
"Um…the pink haired girl is Haruno Sakura," he pointed at the only female among team 7 members. "The loudmouth there—"
"I'M NOT A LOUDMOUTH!" came the interruption.
"—Is Uzumaki Naruto, the gloomy boy over there," Sasuke glared at Tazuna succeeding in making the bridge builder take a step back nervously. "Is Uchiha Sasuke. And the man…in the floor," he sweat dropped at the sight of unconscious Kakashi below him, wondering how the jounin ended up there. "Is Hatake Kakashi.."
Tsunami smiled kindly at the four (even though the other one was currently knocked out) alleviating the children a bit. "I take it they're the ones you bring to help us?" Tazuna nodded.
"This is the help you told us about!" they turned to see a scoffing Inari who apparently woke up from his sleep.
"Inari, don't be rude to our guest!" Tsunami scolded.
The boy ignored his mother and ran back to his room, but not without shouting, "They will only get themselves killed!"
"Who's the brat?" Naruto glowered at the rude boy.
"He's my grandson, Inari," Tazuna sighed. Damn, maybe it was a bad idea to hire this genin team. The blond boy couldn't shut his mouth. Add his stubborn grandson, that wasn't a good mix… Oh and yeah, not to forget the newest dark haired addition to his household. He was doomed.

Harry looked at the bundle of his glowing sword confusedly. He could feel that his sword was becoming restless and feeling threatened.
The silk cloth reduced the brightness of the glow, but anyone could still see dimming light from it. A quick glance to the boys beside him confirming that indeed they saw this. The dark haired boy, Sasuke, looked at his sword curiously, while the blond boy frowned warily and clutching his belly. Sasuke turned at him expectantly, Naruto came secondly.
"What is that?" he asked…no! More like demanded. Geez, kids these days… Harry rolled his eyes inwardly.
"My," Harry frowned, trying to find the right word. "…Weapon."
"May I see it?"
The wizard, understanding exactly what the boy wanted (even if he didn't understand his language), contemplated for a moment before nodding. Perhaps, this way they wouldn't be as suspicious of him if he let them see it. Beside those two would be his roommates for some time, considering there weren't many rooms in the house, so he might as well let them see his sword. That way hopefully they wouldn't be curious and touched his sword without his permission. Zeus would certainly not like it. "No touch!" Sasuke nodded.
When he had de-clothed his sword, he heard 2 sharp gasps. He couldn't help but smirk proudly. That was the same reaction that people in his world let out when they saw his sword for the first time.
The sword's glow dimmed a bit when its master touched it, but it still glowed nonetheless. Harry frowned and turned to the boys behind him. They were apparently awed by his sword although the dark haired boy concealed it better than his friend, but the blond boy… he also looked queasy at the same time and rubbed his belly worriedly. This attracted Harry's attention. Whatever made his sword wary has something to do with the whiskered boy.
Whisker… He wondered about those whiskers he had on his cheek. It didn't look like battle scar and he didn't think there was a birth sign shaped like that. Harry raised his eyebrow in confusion. Perhaps it was only a genetic malfunction that people here seemed to have (AN: read chapter one about it if you forgot).
Harry covered his sword with the silk again and put them beside his bed…then again…he glanced at the 2 extra futons near his bed. He moved his sword and put them on his bed. Best not taking chance to have these teenagers got too curious for their own good and touched Zeus without his permission.
"Sleep," was the only thing he said to the children before he slipped into his bed and closed his eyes.

Naruto couldn't sleep. He turned his body and watched the dark haired stranger's back in silence. The demon inside him was restless.
Something that had never happened before.
And it definitely had something to do with the strange glowing sword that this Harry had. The sword was unlike anything he has seen before. It was a double-edged sword instead of the usual Japanese (AN: I don't think that the place was in Japan, but oh well) sword shape. No shinobi in their right mind would put a jewel on their weapons (and what a big jewel it had), except if it were used for display, which he really doubted. The sword looked elegant and unearthly yet also dangerous at the same time.
He didn't think that the older man was evil, but he was still wary. Anything that had to do with the fox demon sealed inside him was definitely not good news. He really didn't know what to do. Kakashi-sensei was still knocked out and didn't even wake up when he and Sasuke dropped him to the floor in surprise, so he couldn't ask for his opinion. He really hoped that he would awake soon. He should've known what to do.
Naruto turned at his friend beside him. He could see that he also hadn't slept yet although he closed his eyes, not that he thought that Sasuke-teme could sleep when a stranger that they didn't know whether he was an enemy or not was in the same room with them.
He couldn't ask for his opinion regarding Kyuubi… Still that didn't stop him wondering about what his dark haired comrade's thinking about him was.

Feeling that Naruto has slept, Sasuke opened his eyes and turned his back from Naruto and watched the older man's back. His gaze traveled the man's back and he immediately scanned him as best as he could.
The man whose name was Harry had athletic built though not overly as well built as some shinobis who were taijutsu specialists. He was a bit on the lean side and was almost as tall as his silver haired sensei. His hand looked strong though and he had a suspicion that it was because the man trained to use his big sword.
And speaking of that sword…
The sword was elegant, he had to admit. Even though he thought that no proper weapon should be made like a sword that fit to be displayed. It was a work of art. He also noticed from his brief observation that he didn't recognized the metal the blade was made of… which was rather disturbing to know. He didn't know what the sword was capable of and why the man had a sword shaped like that, but it certainly peaked his interest, especially when it could glow.
The owner of said weapon also attracted his interest too, long before he even knew the existence of such sword. The man had been able to sneak upon them without them knowing until he practically made them knew his presence there. The man's presence also gave him unease feeling at first before it gradually disappeared.
And his eyes… his dark striking green eyes gazed at him intently as if he could read his mind, which was absurd, since not even his family's bloodline, sharingan, the infamous doujutsu, could do that… Perhaps he was too exhausted by the journey. There was no way that man could read minds.
That he couldn't understand their language was also causing a great concern on his mind. How could that man not understand their language? It was used in the whole world! He wondered if the man has anything to do with this Gatou person, but he doubted it. The man didn't look like someone who was after money and the like…although one of shinobi's rules was never to judge a book from its cover.
The man was a puzzle. A puzzle that he intended to solve with any means necessary. He didn't like being in the dark of something. It grated his nerves.
Clutching his kunai closer, Sasuke closed his eyes and slept. He would be ready incase the man did something suspicious.
TBC…
Hey, chapter 2 is actually done! Now hand off your reviews, buddy!
(1) I write Harry's name not in something like 'Hari Potteru', but 'Harry Potter' because it is easier to write. Not trying to offend Japanese, but most of them pronounce English really, really bad.
One of you told me that he was having difficulty telling my entire HPN crossover apart. Well…he's not the only one…infact I also have difficulty too. That's why I need to read the precious chapters before I write the next chapter (blush)
Q: Why did you name the sword Zeus?
A: I know that it's not creative. At first I want to name it Thor (which wasn't exactly creative too), but for some reasons (that I don't remember) I decided against it and chose Zeus for the name.
Q: If Harry doesn't have chakra, shouldn't he be dead?
A: It depends. Do you know star wars? The one that tell that all living being have medichlorian or something like that? I think that different universe can have different rule and that if I cross HP and SW there is a possibility that Harry doesn't have medichlorian and thus can't use 'the force'.
Q: Talking about genjutsu manipulating chakra…Genjutsu in general or just Tsukuyomi?
A: I think that it is genjutsu in general.
