Three years later
There was a flash of fire in the Hokage's office as Fawkes appeared with a letter in his mouth. "Is it that time already" asked Sarutobi
Fawkes nodded his head as Sarutobi pushed the intercom button. "Get me James Potter" said Sarutobi
A little while later there was a sight pop as James Potter appeared in the Hokage's office. "You called Hokage-sama"
"Yes, a letter has arrived for your son" said Sarutobi
"Harry's Hogwarts letter is here" said James excited
Sarutobi nodded his head as James looked over to Fawkes. "Hello Fawkes" said James as he walked over and got the letter
"Now have you come to a decision about if he is coming back or not" asked Sarutobi
"Yes, Harry would like to come back and be a Konoha Shinobi" said James
"I'm assuming you have a way of explaining his absence then" asked Sarutobi
"Yes" said James
"What is it then" asked Sarutobi
"Have two more students from his class go to Hogwarts with him" said James
"Explain" commanded Sarutobi
"You can tell everybody that they are graduating early and I will be taking them on a special training mission as their Jounin-sensei" explained James
"That could work" said Sarutobi
"I gather you already have two in mind" he asked
"Yes, Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga" said James
"Why them" asked Sarutobi wide eyed
"You know Hiashi would jump at any chance for someone else to train his 'weak' daughter who I think isn't weak. She just needs confidence in herself and her abilities which she won't get with her family always belittling her. A year away from that and in the constant presence of Naruto will definably bring up her confidence high enough to reach her full potential" explained James
"You do have a point there" said Sarutobi sighing
"Now why Naruto" he asked
"I can teach him a way to easily control Kyubi's chakra" said James
"How" asked Sarutobi shocked
"By becoming it" said James smirking
"WHAT" screamed Sarutobi?
"How is that possible" he yelled
James just stood there smirking and an instant later a proud looking stag was standing in James' place. The stag walked up to the Hokage's desk as Sarutobi reached out a hand and touched it feeling it was real. He then put his hand into a hand sign and said "Kai" hoping to dispel the genjutsu
He saw that the stag was still there so he tried sending out a chakra pulse this time and still nothing happened. James reappeared where the stag was smirking as Sarutobi asked "What was that"
"That was an Animagus transformation" said James
"What" asked Sarutobi?
"It an ability that you can learn that allows you to transform into an animal" said James
"It's a literal transformation not a genjutsu like the henge" he added
"How does it work" asked Sarutobi interested
"You drink a potion that reveals your animal to you and then you learn everything you can about that animal. Once you know the animal inside and out you start practicing transforming a part of your body into the animal's part one at a time until you can fully transform. Once you reach that point you just work doing it faster and faster until you can do instantly like me" James explained
"One of the downsides is that you can't choose what animal you can transform into. The animal you get is a personification of your personality" he continued
"With Kyubi being inside Naruto it would override whatever animal Naruto would've had" he finished
"How do we know Kyubi won't take control once Naruto transforms" asked Sarutobi
"Because he won't be transforming into Kyubi, he will be transforming into his version of Kyubi. Instead of red fur he would most likely have blonde or golden fur" said James
"What do you mean by that" asked Sarutobi
"What you look like when you transform is what you would have looked like if you were born as that animal. And the main part that separates this from a transfiguration is that while Naruto's body will be different, his mind is still the same. Since the seal keeps both minds separate, Kyubi can't take over" explained James
"Ok I can understand that, but how will it help him learn to control its chakra better" asked Sarutobi
"Well once you complete the transformation for the first time you gain some of the animal's benefits. Like for an example, a person who's a bird Animagus would gain better eyesight. So after being in Kyubi's body Naruto would better understand how to access and use its power better" said James
"Alright I will go along with you idea" said Sarutobi as Fawkes disappeared
He returned a few minutes with two letters in his beak. "Thank you Fawkes" said James taking the letters as Fawkes disappeared
He looked at the letters and saw they were addressed to Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Namikaze. "Namikaze" said James
"He's Minato's son" yelled James
"Why didn't I see it? He looks just like him" said James
"How does he know that" asked a shocked Sarutobi
"Only three people knows who Naruto's father is, myself included" he added
"He doesn't. The letters are charmed to write themselves" said James
"They are charmed to be addressed to the child's birth name" he added
"Where did Uzumaki come from then" he asked
"That was his mother's clan name" said Sarutobi
"I'm guessing Naruto doesn't know who is parents are" said James
Sarutobi nodded his head. "I'm going to have to tell him then" said James
"Couldn't we just change his last name to Uzumaki" asked Sarutobi
"No" said James
"Even if we did change it, he would still be called Namikaze when he's called to be sorted. And there is no way we can change that list" he explained
"Alright you can tell him his heritage only after they pass their Genin exam tomorrow. But make sure to stress how important it is to keep it a secret" said Sarutobi
"Yes sir" said James
"Report back here tomorrow morning to give them their Genin exam" commanded Sarutobi
"Yes sir" said James as he left with a pop
Sarutobi left shortly after James heading towards the academy.
In a classroom in the academy Iruka was lecturing his class when the door opened and the Hokage walked though. "Hokage-sama what seems to be the problem" asked Iruka
"There is no problem. I'm just here to make an announcement and observe the class" said Sarutobi
"It has been decided that three students from this class will graduate early and form a team to go on a special training trip. I will be observing your class to see who will have the honor of being a part of this team" he announced
The class broke into murmurs and several thought were flying though peoples' heads. "Mom and dad said my Hogwarts letter should be coming soon. I wonder if this has something to do with it" thought Harry
"I have to get on this team. I can get out of this village and get stronger at the same time" thought a determined Naruto
"Father is going to be mad I didn't get on this team. Who would pick someone like me anyway" thought a depressed Hinata
At the end of the day right after the final bell the Hokage got up and announced his decision. "I have chosen the three that will form the team. Those three are to report to my office tomorrow morning at eight o'clock to meet their Jounin-sensei who will give then their Genin exam" announced Sarutobi
"The three I have chosen are Hinata Hyuga, Naruto Uzumaki, and Harry Potter" he continued
"YES" shouted an excited Naruto in his mind
"I actually got on it" thought an excited Hinata
"I'm on the same team as Naruto-kun" she thought blushing madly and barely stopping herself from fainting
"Looks like I was right" thought Harry
"Why wasn't Sasuke-kun on the team" shouted one of the girls
"That would unbalance the team with two Uchiha and one Hyuga" said Sarutobi
At he looks he got from most of the girls in the class he said sighing "Need I remind you that Mr. Potter is an Uchiha"
That quieted down some of the girls but another one said "Sasuke-kun is a much better Uchiha than he is"
"Stupid fan-girls" thought Sasuke angrily
"My decision is final" Sarutobi stated firmly before leaving
At night during dinner at the Potters, Harry asked "Did my Hogwarts letter come today"
"Why do ask Harry" asked James
"Well the Hokage came into our classroom today and said he was picking three students to go on a special training trip. I figured that must have been the cover story you came up with for me going to Hogwarts" said Harry
"That's right" said James
"So you were the one who picked them and not the Hokage" asked Harry
"Yep, I thought it would do both of them good to get out of the village for a while" said James
"So when do I get my letter" asked Harry excitedly
"You will get it when you pass you Genin exam tomorrow" said James
"But just to let you know, no matter what happens tomorrow, you are still going to Hogwarts. It will be just with or without Naruto and Hinata" he said
"Alright" said Harry
At the Hyuga clan house, Hinata was about to tell her father what happened today after dinner. "Father" asked Hinata
"Yes" said Hiashi
"The Hokage came to our class today and picked three students to go on a special training trip. I was chosen as one of them and have to go to the Hokage tower tomorrow morning for my Genin exam" said Hinata
"Very well, you will pass that exam tomorrow, is that clear" said Hiashi very sternly
"Yes father" said Hinata meekly
"Good, you can have the night off to rest for tomorrow" said Hiashi turning his attention away for her
"Yes father" said Hinata as she got up and bowed before leaving the room
