Disclaimer: Both Harry Potter and Naruto aren't mine, but this fic and its plotline are mine.

Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait. Not! It isn't like my fault I have so many assignments that gave me headache. I had to hand over 4 assignments that are due to Monday and Thursday. Bleagh T-T Not to mention that I confused this fic with my other fic: Lack of Motivation (I thought that Kakashi request another team in this fic) and so I had to rewrite some parts of this chapter, and it was hard since the team Kakashi requested were involved in the battle. Sigh…Man, my life sucks!

Chapter Four

Harry chopped the vegetables in front of him expertly cutting them in the same size. He put the vegetables into the saucepan. Beside him, Tsunami watched him work with interest. Obviously she didn't expect him to have any experience cooking. His appearance didn't support any image of him being a cook and not many males around have the ability to cook or thinking that cooking was 'manly'.

Harry could feel the stare he got from his host, but didn't say anything. It was so long since he was able to cook on his own and he hoped he still retained his ability to cook correctly. With the whole fiasco, he was too busy to think about cooking and when he was in his manor, it was the house elf who prepared his food. To tell the truth, he liked to cook. Sure it brought bad memory about being forced to cook for the Dursleys in his early age, but he grew to like it.

Harry cleaned the fishes he got in the lake during his training and sliced them into parts before putting them into a bowl of mixed spices and fried them in a frying pan beside the saucepan. He poured some soup into a cup and tasted it. He smiled and nodded, delighted to know the taste was correct. Looking at his host, he poured the soup into another cup and offered her. She took the cup with a smile. Obviously from her raised eyebrow she was surprised to know that it tasted good. She nodded and gave the cup back.

"It's good," she told him.

"Arigatou," with that he went back to his cooking. It has been 5 days after the genin team arrived and Harry started to put his legimency into good use. He now could hold very simple conversation with his hosts, though he didn't speak much with the shinobis or Tazuna, mostly with Tsunami and sometimes Inari thought it was difficult for him to follow what he was talking about what was with his fast speech and eagerness. Tazuna was still wary of him and so were the shinobis although the pink haired girl has softened more than others. The older shinobi didn't speak too much with him except for the occasional greetings they had. Sasuke was silent although he always felt the younger boy glancing at his back when he thought he wasn't looking. The seemingly loud mouthed boy seemed to be a bit more reserved and quieter when he was around, though he still looked energetic as always. And Harry still got the same strange vibes when he was around the blonde boy.

When Tsunami and Harry entered the dining room with the food, team 7 and the others were already there. The boys looked ravenous and tired, obviously from their training. They appeared to be almost drop dead on the floor. They perked up when they smelled the food though and at the same time their stomachs growled simultaneously. Tsunami laughed at their blushing faces. After she and Sakura helped Harry set up the table, they ate.

"Hey, this is good!" Naruto shouted as he shoved another spoonful of soup.

"Naruto, don't be so—" she didn't finish her statement as she watched her crush ate with the same fast pace.

"What's it, Sakura-chan?"

She sighed. "Nothing, forget it," she waved him off. The blond raised a confused eyebrow, but shrugged afterwards and went back to his food.

"Your cooking is as good as usual, Tsunami-san," the silver haired jounin complimented as he put back his empty plate.

The said woman giggled. "It wasn't me who cook all of these, Hatake-san. It's Harry-san who cooked the food tonight," Naruto's spoon stopped in front of his mouth. His eyes were wide in disbelief. The others' states weren't too different too.

Harry only smiled, knowing that she complimented him.

"Woah, you can cook?" Naruto asked disbelievingly. Harry only nodded. "You don't look like anyone who like to cook," he sized the dark haired wizard from head to toe.

"Naruto, don't be so rude like that!"

Harry shook his head. "It is okay, Haruno-san. I see that not many men here know to cook, I'm just er…what's the word?" Kakashi noted Harry said 'here', so he concluded that wherever he came from, it was usual to have a male cook.

"Special?" the jounin offered. The wizard nodded with slight hesitation, storing the new word to his vocabulary collection for later use.

The day ended with nothing interesting happened, well if you ignored the fact that the 2 genin boys puked out of their guts from eating so much in fast pace and that Inari yelled at them, only this time Naruto stuck a cord and the Wave boy ran crying. Harry eyed the silver haired jounin that followed Inari. The wizard went back to concentrate on his food, knowing that the jounin would help the young kid, beside it wasn't like he could help the boy much with his disability to speak their language fluently.

Naruto and Sasuke slept without even changing their garments as soon as their heads touched the pillows, showing how tired they were. Harry tucked their blankets before he wandered to the land of dream himself.

The next morning when he was awake, Harry met with Tsunami in the kitchen. He greeted her and said that he would be out for hours and he would eat lunch outside so she wouldn't need to prepare any for him.

"Will you be here for dinner?" she asked. The dark haired man nodded before he came back to his room and retrieved his sword. The 2 boys still slept soundly on their futons. When he closed the door, he didn't notice that Sasuke's eyes have opened. The onyx eyes stared at the door for a moment before he closed his eyes once again.

As usual Harry ran laps around the lake and practiced his swordsmanship and magic where no one was around. Channeling his magic into his blade and closing his eyes, Harry trained to synchronize his senses with the entity inside his sword. The sword glowed warmly and Harry received the images of things around him from the demon's mind. It was a whole new perspective for Harry. Right now he was seeing and feeling everything via the demon. He was like in the trance he had when the demon took hold on him in the battle only this time, the demon didn't control his body merely giving him information it had.

Harry was back in Tazuna's house when the lunchtime was over. He deposited his sword back to his room and took a refreshing bath before going out to the town for sightseeing and improving his speech. As usual there was not much to see except the poor condition of the town. Harry entered the food store Tsunami usually bought the food from, noting that there was more variety of food than usual and there was even 2 slabs of meat there. Picking them up, he bought them later along with other vegetables using his exchanged money. The dark haired young man walked to the bridge to see the villagers' progress on the bridge constructing.

The sight in front of him however, wasn't something he was expected to see. The workers were screaming 'Monsters!' and running away from the bridge. Harry stiffened and caught one of the workers. "What happened?" he asked.

"Y-you're Tazuna's guest, right?" the man didn't ask for confirmation as he continued. "T-There are monsters on the b-bridge! You should run too!" Harry cast legimency to the man, confused on his fast pace talking that was heard to him like a blubbering nonsense. He quickly found the information he needed and retrieved it.

Oh, shit!

It looked like Gatou's men were moving.

Harry ran to the bridge, ignoring the frightened shouts from the fisherman. He arrived at the bridge to find the genin team that has stayed with him in Tazuna's house, excluding Naruto was engaging the enemy. Harry raised an eyebrow when he saw many shinobis with the same face. Twin, he could understand. Quintuplet he could relate, but this…either their mom was really, really big in her pregnancy that she gave birth to more than 5 babies or…or…well he didn't know what to think about it. That was the only possible explanation.

Sasuke moved, too fast to be caught though Harry still could see him with his heightened sense even if it was a bit blurry. The young man was back in his spot when the whole squadron of twins exploded into water. Harry's mind supplied him a possible explanation. Illusion.

Sasuke was fighting another shinobi. This time it was a shorter ninja with mask covered his face. The genin appeared to have the upper hand until his opponent did something with one of his hand, making some weird gestures and the water below the two rose to the air and formed hundreds of sharp ice shards.

"Holy hell…" was the only thing he could utter as he watched the scene flabbergasted.

The shards struck on the bridge surface completely missing their intended target as Sasuke leapt away. Harry fingered his wand, anxious as he thought whether he needed to help them or not. They already looked like they could handle them…

Boy…he knew that he would regret it later…

Haku was ready to activate his bloodline when he was struck behind as if something big hit him on his back. The supposed hunter-nin was blown 15 feet from his spot by the strength. He felt like the wind inside him was knocked out.

All of them in the bridge turned their heads to see a sheepish looking Harry holding a…stick? on his right hand, before he attempted to hide it behind his back. His cheek flushed. They turned to Haku who was trying to stand from the floor and then to the young man again in disbelief, wondering what he had done to the masked nin.

"Ah, hello, may I join this little chit chat?" Harry asked with a sheepish grin, fingers still playing nervously with the wand behind his back.

"Who're you?" Zabuza asked him carefully, his eyes strayed so often to his subordinate. 'I didn't know that the old man hired another ninja.'

"Uh, I do not think you can say it, but what the hell? My name is Harry Potter."

"Leave this place at once and I might spare you. This has nothing to do with you," said Zabuza, thinking that he was a mere traveler who decided to stick their but into something that wasn't their business.

Harry could only understand 'leave' and 'spare you', so with a quick probe to Zabuza's mind, he got what the ninja in front of him want him to. "No can do. I owe Tsunami-san and I decided to pay my debt."

"Then DIE!" Harry's eyes widened as he saw sharp projectiles were thrown to him.

'Fast!' Out of reflex, he took out his wand and made an invisible shield. The kunais bounced on contact with the shield. 'O man, thank God none of my hunters were this fast or I'd be a goner right then.' Harry reached his back only to widen his eyes when he remembered that he had stored his sword in Tazuna's house. 'Crap!' his mind supplied when Zabuza snapped out of his frozen mind and charged at him. Kakashi turned his head and dashed to the missing-nin, hoping that he wouldn't be too late. Questions about what just happened could be asked later.

Deciding that to hell with consequences, Harry shot a barrage of hexes. Only to have his opponent dodged it, even if it was only barely. Now Harry was in panic. 'Don't panic, you moron. You're a veteran, not an fucking amateur!' he chided himself. "Why don't you just be a good boy and stand still!" he grumbled, changing his tactic. He apparated soundlessly 5 meters behind Zabuza.

"Zabuza-san, BEHIND YOU!" Haku shouted.

At the same time Zabuza turned his head, Harry decided to finish the battle as quick as possible. "CRUCIO!" a jet of magic shot from the tip of his wand and hit Zabuza on his chest. A painful scream erupted from the missing-nin covered mouth.

Team 7, Tazuna, and Haku watched in disbelief to see the result of the beam of light.

Harry held his curse over him, not wanting to give him a chance to retaliate. "Avada ke—" he apparated out of danger as senbons darted to his way. The cruciatus curse gave away as he lost his concentration. Zabuza was trembling on the bridge floor.

"Zabuza-san!" the masked hunter-nin crouched on the floor and looked at his out-of-breath master anxiously.

Zabuza tried to stand up by himself. "I…I'm alright," he breathed deeply. His eyes focused on his opponent, mind still reeling from the pain he just received. It was like his body was burned alive and thousands of needles punctured his body. The former Mist-nin wondered just what the young man in front of him did to him. It wasn't like everything he had experienced before.

"What did you do to me?" he demanded.

Harry quirked an eyebrow. "Why should I tell you?"

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Haku screamed angrily as he dashed to him.

"Who knows that apparation will play a big role in fighting these people?' the wizard popped up from another spot. 'Okay, from what I got, the best way to handle these people is…' he conjured 10 rocks and transfigured them into 10 big wolves. "Go!" the black wolves growled before darting toward the younger man.

'WHAT THE HELL?' all of them chorused inside their minds.

One of the wolves leapt into the still stunned Haku.

"HAKU!" Zabuza's shout snapped him out of his thought, but the smallest wolf already bit his left arm and tore his flesh.

"ARGH!" he threw a senbon from hid right hand to the spot between its eyes. The wolf let him go as it yelped and sprawled to the ground, lifeless. Haku quickly jumped as soon as its jaw released his arm, which was a good thing because the other wolves leapt into him. They landed on the spot where he was no more than a second ago and growled angrily. A rain of senbons came upon the wild animals. One by one, the wolves dropped to the floor. The last to drop was the biggest one. Its glassy golden eyes stared at the sky before it lay unmoving.

Harry scratched his head. 'Okay, next time made an inanimate object instead of animals…' the dark haired wizard prepared to make a stone golem when he noticed his surrounding was starting to be covered by mist. He couldn't see anything. The thick mist covered the whole bridge. 'What the hell? Where did all of this fog come from? Judging from the weather, there shouldn't be any mist much less as thick as this that I can't even see my hand.'

"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu," Sasuke's voice cut off the silence. The young wizard saw numerous reddish orange lights from his spot.

"Hijutsu: Makyou Hyoushou," he heard Haku's voice from Sasuke's direction. A minute later he heard Naruto's shout.

It seemed all of team 7 were back to the stage.

Harry took 3 steps when he felt a movement behind his back. He quickly ducked and rolled to his right. "Che, you're lucky," a silhouette of Zabuza said.

"How did you find me?" Harry asked carefully, ready to apparate in any second.

"Your footsteps. I could hear them," Padfoot's godson's eyes widened.

'He could hear my footsteps? I thought my footsteps are muffled already.' Four more silhouettes surrounded him. Harry almost apparated out when the nearest silhouette moved with incredible speed.

"Oh, no you don't. I won't let you do you fancy teleportation trick this time!" the blade swung.

Harry's eyes widened. Memories of his life flashed before his eyes.

The good ones. Harry saw hogwarts the first time from the boat. He won his first Quidditch game. Remus and Sirius joked with him in Grimmauld Place. He, Ron, and Hermione watched the sunset together. He watched as Ron and Hermione quarreled because of grades. He and his male Gryffindors friends drank Fire Whiskey for the first time in their graduation day. His time with Keinne, an old blacksmith dwarf. Zeus glowed comfortingly on his hand as he gazed at the battlefield below them.

The thrilling ones. He and his friends passed the obstacles to Philospoher's Stone. He killed the basilisk in his 2nd year. Chased by dementors in his quidditch match. The Triwizard Championship. The battle in Department of Mysteries. His adventure to the cave with Dumbledore to acquire one of Voldemort's horcruxes on his 6th year. His journey to find the rest of the horcruxes. He dodged the muggles', Voldemort's, and Ministry of Magic's search parties. His battle with the dark creatures with Zeus on his side. His last battle with Voldemort.

The bad ones. He was abused by the Dursleys. Cedric's death. Sirius' shocked expression when he was thrown to the veil. Hearing the prophecy. Dumbledore's death by Snape's hand. The Weasleys' deaths. Remus' last moment as he smiled sadly at Harry with a silver knife stuck on his chest. Hermione gave him a kiss on his lips as she caressed his cheek weakly on his lap, telling him that she loved him. Harry's clothes and face were covered by Hermione's blood, eyes seeing nothing as he hugged his best friend who had kept her feeling of him for so long, died on his lap (AN: yes, I'm a HarryHermione fan incase you don't know). Ron smiled at Harry's petrified body sadly, saying that it would be okay and he should stay there. Harry shouted at Ron with tears springing from his emerald eyes, pleading him not to go and got himself killed in the process. Ron's last word as he closed the door.

Flashback

"Live Harry! You must live for your parents, for Cedric, for Sirius, for Dumbledore, for Ginny, for Fred and George, for my mum and dad, for Bill and Charlie, for Remus and Neville, for…" Ron choked. "For Hermione…and for me," Ron stared at his eyes. "Goodbye, Harry. We will watch you."

"RON! NO!" Harry tried to break open Ron's spell to no avail. Ron had incorporated his spell with the knowledge of Egyptian magic he got from his oldest brother. He needed time to break the enchantment. Time that he didn't have as he watched his friend walked to his death.

Harry could hear Ron's voice from behind the door. "Live Harry. You must live for our parts too and kick Voldie's ass while you're at it, don't you."

End Flashback

Harry's emerald eyes snapped open as it glowed brightly. "I.Won't. DIE!" his magic fluctuated and he glowed brightly. Wind picked up from his surrounding and the bridge shook as his power affected his surrounding. Zabuza was thrown by the power, his sword was blown up and it landed on the ground with a resounding clang.

The Wave citizens watched with tremor and morbid fascination at the bridge direction when they saw a jet of light erupted to the sky from the ground. They had felt the earth shook and their skin crawled when a wave of power reached them.

When the light died out, they released their breaths they didn't know they held.

TBC…

R.E.V.I.E.W!

Heh, a cliffhanger, don't you just hate me? He…3x.

And about Hermione if you want to know…no, she wasn't Harry's girlfriend. Actually Harry only knew about her feeling in her last moment. I have thought of this last moment just for fun and the result I was teary eyed.
