Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter

This story is a request by blackbloodbitch22, who has guessed 5 out of 10 possible people for my ANBU Magic challenge/contest/whatever it's called.

So apparently this is one popular story. Favourites, followers, reviews, oh my! Anyway, to anyone who cares, you owe this update to PensiveProsperity! I laughed when I thought of all the possibilities. I meant for it to happen in this chapter but I thought it would be too much.

It didn't take long to get to Konoha. Kakashi just picked up Harry so that Harry could touch Pakkun and made some sort of shape with his hand. Then they were gone from Surrey.

When Harry opened his eyes he blinked at the lack of light. He tried to see his surroundings but he had some difficulty. Kakashi set him down before Harry heard him move a few steps away. There was a sound of cloth and metal and then Harry could see. Kakashi had opened his blackout curtains - unsurprisingly a staple in ninja homes. Ninjas kept odd hours and sometimes slept during the day after missions, blackout curtains helped. Not that Kakashi had issues sleeping anymore.

Kakashi came back and kneeled in front of the boy. "Alright. We're in the Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha, and my home village. From this point on, you are my son Shinobu Hatake. I will call you by that name until you answer to it like your own. Okay?"

Harry, now Shinobu, nodded. "Okay." He looked around. The sun was setting outside the window, bathing the room in a golden glow. There was a double bed in the corner with a nightstand beside it. On top of the nightstand was a picture of four people and Shinobu recognized a younger Kakashi. There was a dresser against the opposite wall, next to the closet. Shinobu also noticed no less than four filing cabinets next to the window. There was nothing in front of the window, unlike the houses in Britain. "Where are we, Kashi?"

Kakashi eye-smiled. "We're in my bedroom. This is my apartment, where we'll live for the next little while."

"Oh."

The silver haired ninja straightened and moved toward a bare section of the wall. "Want to see something cool?" He waved the boy over. When the child was closer, Kakashi put his hand flat against the wall and pushed it as if to slide it. The wall slid.

Shinobu's eyes widened as he saw a whole new room on the other side. "Whoa! How did you do that?"

Kakashi chuckled. "It's an invisible door. I made this room when I was a Chuunin for my more important documents but when I was promoted to Jounin, I quickly made enemies in and out of the village. I decided it would be in my best interest to sleep in my secret room as well. Not that I really need that protection anymore. There are seals on the window that keep it from being seen and the door seamlessly blends into the wall so it's perfectly hidden."

Shinobu blinked at all the information. "Oh, okay." He looked at the sparse kitchenette and the stiff-backed sofa, again noticing the bare space in front of the windows. "Where will I sleep?"

"You, kiddo, get your own bedroom!" Kakashi made himself sound more enthusiastic than he otherwise would. He knew this was a big deal to the kid who'd previously slept under the stairs. "In that room right there," he pointed to the door. "In my old room. Go on, check it out."

Shinobu looked up at him for a moment before hesitantly walking over and opening the door. Kakashi watched the awe appear on the boy's face and winced. It was just a simple bedroom he'd lived in when he was younger. There wasn't even anything remotely personal about it since he'd abandoned the room as a thirteen-year-old jōnin after all. "It needs a bit of a cleaning." He figured he'd allow the kid a little control after his previous life. "Shinobu, what's your favorite colour?"

The kid thought about it for a moment. "Um, green I guess."

Kakashi nodded. "Would you like your walls to be green?"

Shinobu nodded happily.

"Great." Kakashi quickly breezed through a few hand signs and a clone appeared. Kakashi retrieved a piece of paper and a pen from his vest pocket and scrawled something down. He handed the piece of paper to the clone. "Get it done." The clone nodded and was gone. Kakashi then turned to his new ward and sighed. "Alright, it's time to go see somebody. Let's get going." The Hokage had to know. Kakashi held out his hand for the boy to take. He led them out of the apartment and once they were out of the complex he swung the boy onto his shoulders. The response was a gleeful shriek and another one when he took to the rooftops. At this time of day roof traffic was low and there was a lesser risk of being seen.

Not five minutes later he was knocking on the Hokage's window, crouched on his windowsill. When the elderly man opened the window, Kakashi maneuvered himself and his passenger in without a sound.

Shinobu now knew why there wasn't anything in front of Kakashi's windows.

The man returned to his seat with a tired sigh. "Jounin Hatake, I was expecting to see Anbu member Dog before I saw you." His eyes strayed to the child and he began to pack his pipe. "Sit."

Kakashi helped Shinobu into the chair before he himself sat to face the Hokage. "Mission complete sir, but there were some complications." He received a raised eyebrow from the Hokage. "This boy was living with the target, not his immediate family. While I gathered intel I noticed they weren't treating him right so I offered him the option of coming with me."

The Hokage leveled his ninja with a stern stare. "Kakashi, you can't simply take children."

Kakashi took his head. "Sir, I merely ask you listen to my explanation and proposal." There were no immediate arguments. "Thank you." He cleared his throat. "This boy is the target's nephew on his wife's side. He was abused verbally and physically while there. They made him do all the household chores. They called him 'freak' and told him he was worthless. He was blamed for anything that went wrong and hit. He was also made to sleep in a tiny storage area under the stairs regardless of the unused bedroom in the house. While I was watching, I couldn't help but to think that his situation was similar to Naruto's social situation. I had to get him out of there."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was an old man and wise in his years. He pondered over the conundrum that was this new child. Ninja children were not coddled. They were yelled at and hit and introduced to reality to prepare them for their future careers. Kakashi, as a child jounin, knew this better than most. If he said the child was abused then Hiruzen would trust him. He also heard the undertones of guilt when Naruto was mentioned. Kakashi had applied to him directly for custody of Naruto. Hiruzen had turned him down. Not only was Kakashi too young at the time, he was also mentally unfit to raise a child. He'd just lost his entire team within a year, after all. The old man thought it over and agreed with the young man assessment of the situation. "Your proposal?"

The ninja's bearing seemed to lighten and he put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "I would like to create some papers that make him seem like a relations incident. I had a mission in Rain when I was fifteen that was suitable for the time of his conception. With your approval, I would travel there and find out if either of my targets are suitable in the event of a background check. If my findings are positive, I will return to the village and the papers will be filed to make the boy Shinobu Hatake, my biological son. If not, he will be my adopted son and I will simply hide him from the council until he is of age to be a ninja."

The Hokage rested his chin on his clasped fists. "If he is to become your biological child, you must find a way for him to inherit the Hatake bloodline limit and gifts."

Kakashi paled under his mask. "The Hatake Clan has an Uzumaki sealing scroll in the Clan Estate that may help in that endeavor." There was a way but he'd have to return to his old home…

The old man looked him over, and then the boy. They both had the same spark of hope in their eyes. "Very well." He opened a drawer and dug out a file. He handed it to Kakashi. An S-Rank mission, as were all Clan missions. "Your mission is to journey to Rain Country and repossess the youngest member of the Hatake Clan. You are not to be seen on the way out of the village."

Kakashi nodded solemnly although there was a huge smile on his face under his mask. "I accept the mission." He got up and helped the child down from the tall chair. He moved to leave but turned back. "Oh, Sir, if I'm not allowed to be seen leaving, then could I ask that a D-Rank be filed to clean and redecorate my son's bedroom before I return? The supplies would be in the room and you can take the money from my mission pay."

The Hokage nodded. "I'll get my secretary to do it in the morning. Do you have a preference as to the team?"

"Well they'll be in my house so I want someone trustworthy." The Uchiha's didn't like him because of Obito's eye; he didn't want to chance a Hyuuga seeing through his wall, the youngest Yamanaka's and Akimichi's were chuunin, the Nara were trustworthy but their laziness would cause the labor cost to skyrocket, the Aburame's wouldn't do it because the paint fumes would upset their hives, the Inuzuka liked him though because of the dogs. "Do we have an Inuzuka genin right now?"

"We have a Hana Inuzuka, a Sho Iburi, and a Mitsuo Nara, led by jounin Kagami Kurama." Hiruzen sighed. "Mitsuo didn't get promoted in the chuunin exams but young Hana keeps him on his toes."

By Clan stigma: a tracker, an infiltrator, a slacker, all led by a genjutsu mistress. "Sounds like that should work out fine."

The Hokage nodded at his ninja. "Alright. It will be done when you return. We'll finalize the paperwork then."

With that they were gone.

Kakashi looked around without looking like he was looking around. The Village Hidden in the Rain. It hadn't changed much since he'd been here last. Sure enough, the ninja-clothing store was still where he remembered. He looked down at the boy holding his hand. "While my dogs are walking around and gathering information, we're going to get you properly clothed."

Shinobu nodded up at the man. "Okay!"

The pair headed to the clothing store that Kakashi had frequented on his mission to Rain. He looked down to the child's bright eyes when he walked inside and gestured to their right. "The children's section is over there. Pick some things out. I'll be there in a minute."

Kakashi watched him go and headed toward the shopkeeper. "Mr. Norikawa, I'm glad your shop is still here."

The middle-aged man turned around. "Ah! If it isn't the young charmer himself. I've missed giving you girl advice these past years. Your confused face was something that never failed to brighten my day. You'd come in here after spending the day with either young Miss Aiko or the young Lady Nyoko and you looked so hopeless." The man chuckled. "So how are you these days, Kakashi?"

His eye scanned the racks until he found the kid in the boys' section. "I'm good, actually I'm here with my son." It felt strange to say but he'd have to get used to it. "I'm in Rain for a few days to visit the Daimyo and the Lord."

The shopkeeper nodded his head. "Well I offer my sincere condolences to you on the part of your late lovers. It is fortunate that you were able to make it in time for the anniversary of their deaths."

Kakashi bowed his head. "My thanks. I hope I may see you again before I leave for home." He turned and walked toward his son. Thank any higher being that would listen that he came into contact with one of Jiraiya's informants during that mission.

That night, while Shinobu was asleep, Kakashi looked at two old pictures that he'd kept from the mission. He'd enjoyed his time here with the two women and he had in fact slept with both of them. He was sad to hear of their deaths. They'd been more than friends of his.

He looked at the first picture. Aiko. The Lord's daughter. She was pretty. She'd been his age when they'd met and he knew right away that she'd see him as a friend. She was a great source of information. As he looked at it he remembered her light brown hair and her blue eyes, her kind but quiet personality. He sighed.

The second picture. Nyoko, the Daimyo's daughter. When he met her, he'd felt a different sort of draw to her. A more sensual attraction. He'd actually spent more time with Nyoko than with Aiko, but most of that time was in the privacy of one of their rooms. Even now, looking at the photo, he remembered her beauty. Her raven hair, her sparkling jade eyes. Her full pink lips. Her noble's chin. Her curious nature and her sense of duty to others. Her kindness, her generosity, her bravery. She'd been a couple years older than him but they'd clicked.

If it weren't a mission, he'd have asked her father for permission to marry her. He'd loved Nyoko dearly.

If it were possible, he'd make her Shinobu's mother on paper. Actually…If he was able to acquire some of her things then that jutsu…

He rid himself of such thoughts as his dogs entered through the open window of the inn. Pakkun stepped forward with a letter. "Yo, Kakashi. So the Daimyo remembered me and gave me this." He stepped forward so that Kakashi could take the letter. The ninja took the expensive envelope and opened it to find an invitation to a celebration of life. Pakkun continued, "Before that though, I did some snooping. All the villagers say that Nyoko's dead but that was never confirmed. She went missing not long after you left and there were suspicions among the servants that she was pregnant. She and Aiko left for Konoha to find you with a caravan but Rain didn't hear from them when they should've so a chuunin team was sent out. They found the caravan slaughtered near the border. Bandits. They found Aiko's body. She'd been visibly pregnant and the child was cut out of her, though not among the bodies. It would have been old enough to survive if a medic was nearby. Nyoko's body wasn't found." The dog hesitated. "You could write that you discovered the kid on a mission and realized how much he looked like her and like you. Bang, you've got a kid. With that jutsu you can't be disproved."

Kakashi just took it all in. They both might have been pregnant. Aiko was certainly pregnant but there was no guarantee that the child was his. Aiko had been 'beloved' by many young men. Besides, the timing was a little off. Nyoko on the other hand, had given her virginity to him. If she had been with child then the child was his. The timing was perfect and Shinobu even resembled her a little. Although, what if she was alive somewhere? It was unlikely but possible. She could blow the story. But the risk was minimal – he'd chance it.

It was decided. If Kakashi was honest with himself then he'd known before they arrived in Rain who Shinobu's mother would be.

He looked at Pakkun. "Did Tsuga find anything of Nyoko's?" Tsuga was the second best tracker but his larger size allowed him to carry things more easily than Pakkun.

Pakkun nodded at a bulging pocket in the dog's vest. "Yeah. They didn't change her room. He got a hairbrush and a pillowcase."

Great. The jutsu scroll he'd brought with him allowed for the DNA introduction of two donors. With this jutsu, their story would even stand up to blood tests. "I'll draw out the seals before I wake him."

Hours later, Shinobu was unconscious again. The jutsu was not a simple one. Created by an Uzumaki medic, the jutsu worked on a cellular level. It located certain genes and essentially replaced them. The description said that it partially rewrote the genetic code. If his blood were tested against Kakashi's, the results would say the two were related. Beyond that, he could also be identified as kin to his original parents if tested.

Kakashi had told Shinobu of the jutsu and patiently explained it to him. Watching the child sleep, he was glad that the boy had decided to do it. He was changed.

His hair was a little more gravity defying than just it's previous messiness. His nose seemed to be a little narrower. His lips were fuller. His skin tone was a shade darker. He'd grown taller but his original slim build was unchanged. The biggest change was his chakra. Kakashi had actively felt it out before the jutsu. It was larger than the average civilian child. During the jutsu Shinobu's chakra had morphed. With his Sharingan active, Kakashi could see the boy's chakra grow exponentially and take on the white colour of the potent Hatake chakra. There was a strange shrieking noise while this was happening and black ichor leaked from a scar on Shinobu's forehead. It caused him pain but did not otherwise negatively affect him. Then a small amount of chakra had surrounded the child's brain and seemed to just sink in. Kakashi was of the opinion that Shinobu had gained a passive bloodline ability.

There was no way to tell until he woke up. They'd return to Konoha after Shinobu was introduced to the Daimyo. Kakashi sighed as he wrote up the necessary forms for his son's cover file. He only hoped that his colleagues didn't find out about his son too soon.

So, how does everyone like the longer chapter? Yeah, it was so thoughtful of me, I know.

And what about Nyoko? Alive, dead, who knows? I'd love to hear your opinions on the matter though! Reviews and PM's are always welcome.
