Chapter 21
A/N: Don't really have much to say except I hope you like the story and I hope I'm making peoples day by updating.
Summary: "What would you name him Hokage-Sama?" Sarutobi looked at the baby that was looking right back at him with his small green pupil less eyes; they reminded him of the Hyuuga clan though they weren't doe like and you could see small brown flecks pointing to the center, what was unusual though was that the eyes of the child held some knowledge hidden in them. Sarutobi smiled at him, and the baby let out a giggle and pulled his beard, a name appeared in his mind, "I think I'll call him Tetsuo, yes that's perfect…Tetsuo Sarutobi."

"He's been sighted, he's been sighted!" Seamus shouted, running into the great hall at breakfast with a news paper
"Who's been sighted?" One of the Gryffindors asked
"Sirius Black," Seamus placed the newspaper on the table for them all to see
"Duff town, that's not far from here." Hermione pointed out
"Y-you don't think he'd come to Hogwarts?"
"With Dementors at every entrance?"
"If he's gotten past them before, he could do it again."
Tetsuo looked down at the moving picture of Black laughing manically and felt that maybe Trelawney was right about a bad omen
-Defense against the dark arts bitches-
When the quartet entered the room the only thing that really stood out was the mirrored closet, they wondered what Professor Lupin was going to teach them. They backed up a little when it started to shake, "Intriguing isn't it; would anyone like to venture a guess as to what's inside?"
"That's a boggart that is,"
"Very good Mr. Thomas, now can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?"
"No one knows, boggarts are shapeshifters. They take the shape of whatever the particular person's fear is." Hermione answered appearing out of nowhere
"Where'd she come from?" Ron asked
Tetsuo shrugged but on the inside he was really debating on possible answers, 'You don't think she learned any space-time Ninjutsu do you?'
'I highly doubt it, I mean space-time Ninjutsu is really rare and most people create it not discover it. Ei once told me about the time he had faced the fourth Hokage, who wasn't Hokage at the time, he was considered the yellow flash of the leaf because of his space-time Ninjutsu, when he died Ei was considered the fastest.'
'How did the fourth Hokage die?' Now that he thought about it he had never seen a picture of the fourth Hokage, there were pictures or paintings of all the Hokage of Konoha but he had never seen one of the fourth.
'Ei never told me, he said that it was a Hokage level secret that he couldn't divulge.'
"That's what makes them so terrifying, yes. Luckily a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart, why don't we practice it now?" He smiled at all the nervous faces, "Without wands please, after me 'Ridiculous,'" The class repeated the phrase loud and clear, "Very good now part of the incantation, what really finishes a boggart, is laughter. You need to force into a shape truly amusing, let me explain, um Neville you'll do." Said boy reluctantly came up to the front
"Now Neville, what frightens you most of all?"
"…" It came out in a whisper that no one heard
"I'm sorry could speak a little louder?"
"Professor Snape," Neville closed his eyes at the sound of laughter coming from behind him as his cheeks colored red
Professor Lupin laughed with the rest of the class, "Well Professor Snape frightens us all, and I believe you live with your grandmother?"
"Yes, but I don't want that boggart to turn into her either."
"Don't worry it won't, I want you to picture her clothes, only her clothes very clearly in your mind." Lupin ordered seriously
"She carries around-,"
"Don't need to hear; as long as you see it we'll see it. Now when I open that wardrobe here is what I want you to do." He went close to Neville and whispered in his ear, "I want you to picture Professor Snape in your grandmother's clothes, can you do that?" Neville nodded, "Wand at the ready and one…two…three." Lupin flicked his wand and unlocked the door as it slowly creeped open to reveal darkness, Neville thought it empty until Snape stepped out.
Snape glided towards the boy as he steeled his nerves and thought of his grandmother's attire, "Ridiculous!" Snape's usually bleak attire changed to what an old mountain woman would wear seeing as how it had numerous faux animals on it.
"Wonderful Neville, wonderful to the back now everyone form a line." Everyone had excited looks on their faces as they formed a line to face their worst fear, Remus put on some classic montage music, "I want everyone to picture the boggart in something you find funny, Ron's first."
Ron knew what his fear would be and he was proved correct when a giant spider took Snape's place, he whimpered for a moment as its eyes blinked at him before flicking his wand, "Ridiculous!" He started to feel better though when the spider gained roller-skates (He only knew what those were thanks to his dad) and it started to slip and slide across the floor
Pavarti was next as a giant snake showed in the spider's place, 'She would not like me,' Tetsuo thought with a wince, "Ridiculous!" And the snake was replaced with one of those creepy clowns in the boxes.
"Excellent, next Tetsuo," Remus announced as Tetsuo stepped up to the plate
Time seemed to slow down as the clown head moved back and forth before shifting into what Tetsuo's newest acquired fear was.
A Dementor
"Weak child can't even stand up to one Dementor." Yin used reverse psychology on him
When Tetsuo froze Remus was about to step and stop the Dementor but when a fire entered his eyes Remus stayed put.
"Ridiculous!" The Dementor changed into something the students would never forget for the rest of the day, the once scary Dementor changed into their headmaster but wearing tights and had on a headband as he did jumping jacks and exercises, (A/N: If you've ever seen Richard Simmons then just imagine Albus in those clothes and doing his exercises that'll give you a good idea of what's happening and to those of you who say 'Oh my god Harry would never paint him in such a disrespectful picture,' Well shut the fuck up because Albus is seeing this right now and laughing his ass off.)
"Let's get Physical, Physical!" The boggart said in Dumbledore's voice, the class was laughing so hard there were tears coming out of their eyes
'Where did you come up with that?'
'I don't know it just came to me,' Tetsuo smiled and moved his way to the back as Pansy was up next
When Albus turned into a giant Buckbeak Pansy was too afraid to even preform the spell, so Lupin had to step in and show his fear which was odd because it was the moon. After he turned it into a balloon class was over and everyone groaned since they didn't get there turn.
'Why would he be afraid of the moon?'
-Couple weeks later-
"Remember a trip to Hogsmeade village is a privilege should your behavior prove a problem you'll be sent back to Hogwarts immeadiatly and given detention. If your permission slip is not signed then no trip Mr. Sarutobi." McGonagall said as Tetsuo came up to her with his permission slip
"I just wanted to see if a parent or guardian has to sign it." Tetsuo asked, he had gotten Kakashi to sign it but Kakashi wasn't his legal guardian. Tetsuo had actually permanently moved into the apartment and lived alone in times Kiba wasn't there, Kakashi only checked on him from time to time to see if he was doing ok for himself.
"What do you mean?"
"I have someone who signed it but he's not my legal guardian, he just checks on me since I live alone."
"Have you been declared emancipated?"
"No," Tetsuo said nervously
"A parent or legal guardian has to sign it or you've been declared emancipated." She placed a hand on his shoulder in apology, "I'm sorry Mr. Sarutobi but that is my final word." She then walked off to follow the students and Mr. Filch
Tetsuo looked at his friends with a sad smile, "Go on ahead guys I'll find something to do here."
They nodded and followed McGonagall as Tetsuo was left to his lonesome
-On the bridge-
Professor Lupin had found him and decided that they needed to go for a walk, they ended up on the bridge, "Well, don't feel too bad. I felt roundly disappointed the first time I went." Remus said as Tetsuo talked about his sadness at not being able to go to Hogsmeade
"Oh really," Tetsuo said in disbelief
"No. I was just trying to make you feel better. Honeydukes' sweets are the best in the world. Their Pepper Imps are so strong they make you smoke at the ears, and Zonko's Joke Shop may be dangerous, but you can't beat their Stink Pellets."
"I thought as much," Tetsuo laughed at the Professor's attempt, "Professor, can I ask you something?"
"I assumed that the boggart would take the shape of Voldemort, I was also pleasantly surprised that you defeated it." Remus said off-handely
"I did think of Voldemort first, but then I remembered that night on the train... and the Dementors..." Tetsuo held his head as he remembered that night perfectly and the scream was maddening as it kept replaying over and over in his head.
"Well, well. I'm impressed, that suggests that what you fear most of all is... fear. Very wise of you."
"Before I fainted... I heard something, a woman, screaming."
"Dementors force us to relive the worst memories of our lives. Our pain becomes their power." Remus explained
"I think it was my mother. The night when HE came," He obviously couldn't remember that far back but he did have that one flash of green and white
"The first time I saw you, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar but by your eyes, they are just like you're mothers but so different. I remember seeing them when you were just a little pup they stared up at me with such knowledge that I could never possibly forget them. I knew her though, Lily, She was there for me at a time when no one else was, we talked for hours. She was not only a singularly gifted witch but an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in whoever she met, even - and perhaps most especially - when that person couldn't see it in themselves..." Tetsuo smiled at the image that Remus was painting for him, "Which perhaps explains her affection for your father. James had, shall we say, a certain talent for trouble. A gift, rumor has it, he passed on to you." Remus pointed to him affectionately
-After Hogsmeade's trip-
"And the candy, oh the candy, it was heavenly I really wish I had brought enough to take some back hom with me." Dii sighed thinking about all the candy he was able to taste.
They were on the stairs going back to their dorm when they noticed a crowd by the Gryffindor common room entrance door, "What's going on?" They rushed up the stairs and passed everyone.
"Move back, no one is to enter this dormitory." Percy said ushering the children back
Ginny came up to them with a worried expression, "The fat lady's gone," She told, once the crowd parted they saw claw marks on the painting.
All the painting were in an uproar about it as they were looking through their paintings for her, Filch and Dumbledore rushed up the stairs and inspected the ripped painting, "Mr. Filch round up the ghosts, search every painting for the fat lady."
"There's no need for ghosts Professor, the fat lady's there." He pointed upwards to the right and found her in a painting of a safari, Dumbledore quickly walked to the painting and had on an expression of concern
"Who did this to you?" He asked
She whimpered and peeked from behind the hippo she was using as a hiding spot, "Eyes like the devil he's got, and a soul as dark as his name. It was him, Headmaster, the one they talk about. He's here, somewhere in the castle, Sirius Black!" The whispers immeadiatly started
"Secure the castle Mr. Filch, the rest of you in the great hall." The students followed his orders but Tetsuo froze,
The man who had helped in the murder of his parents was here, he was obviously here for a reason and Tetsuo had an inkling as to what that reason was.
He was coming back to finish the job.
-Night time everyone's sleeping in the great Hall-
'We should do something about this,' Dii suggested not having really went to sleep since there was a mass murderer in the castle
'What do you suppose we do, I doubt that they'll let us hunt down someone who wants to kill us.'
'Who says we have to leave, make a water clown and have it slither on floor throughout the castle. When it disappears you'll learn everything it learned.'
'Right,' Tetsuo followed the suggestion and made a water clone that didn't take his form, it slithered through the cracks in the door and traveled the castle searching throughout for Black's whereabouts.
-Couple of days later-
Dii reread the note that Ei had sent him as he sat on his cot with all his things packed. It read that the criminal organization, Akatsuki, was sighted close to their village and his mother had joined the team to defeat them, even though Ei had told her that she'd be playing right into their hands by going, Yugito had insisted as she felt she was strong enough to defeat them. Ei was worried because Yugito had yet to return and if another week went by without her return he would have to declare her a missing nin, deceased, or captured.
Dii had showed the note to Dumbledore and had asked if he could return home for the year since he was worried about his mother. Dumbledore said he would get a portkey ready by tomorrow which was now today. He had asked Dumbledore to inform Tetsuo of his whereabouts seeing as how Dii would be long gone before the boy got back from class.
Dumbledore appeared in the hall with a loth around the portkey, "Are you sure about this?" Dumbledore asked
"I need to make sure she's alright, she's the only mother I have." He unwrapped the cloth and touched the portkey along with his things as he disappeared back to Kumogakure.
-Quidditch game-
Tetsuo wiped the rain from his goggles as he attempted a search for the snitch, he had on Naruto's goggles and luckily with these he could easily search for the snitch with his newly acquired Byakugan. Too bad his morals deemed that as cheating and made him do it the regular way.
He found the snitch high up in the sky as he dodged the lightning strikes that were slowly taking out players on both teams. He and the Hufflepuff seeker, Cedric Diggory, had both found the snitch and were flying after it at the same time. They were neck and neck when lightning struck right at the tip of Cedric's broom sending an electricity charge through him. Tetsuo hoped the boy would be alright as he fell to the field.
Tetsuo was still flying after the unusually fast snitch when he actually felt his broom freeze and ice start to form on his goggles making it difficult to see clearly. He had lost the snitch when he first saw one
A Dementor was trailing behind him
He picked up speed on his broom in an attempt to get away from the devil when the horrible feeling of depression intensified as he ran into a second, luckily he was able to dodge and change course as there were now two Dementor's chasing him. He was going through his list of jutsu to see if something or anything would save him.
He turned up sharply and when he knew the Dementors were following him he turned upside down and did a nose dive. He pulled up but what he saw as he flew forward drove a striking terror into him.
He had somehow flew into a nest and he could tell they were very happy to see him.
"I suggest using that jutsu."
'But Itachi said only in emergencies.'
"And you don't classify this as an emergency?"
Tetsuo had felt it when the first Dementor started to suck out his very essence, and after that more followed until he was almost left unconscious. He was so weak he couldn't stay on his broom and fell off falling to the ground at a fast rate, he was conscious enough to see them go after him, but he decided to stop that now.
He mustered up his strength and preformed the Tiger seal, with his sharingan activated and body facing towards the sky as he fell to the pitch he shouted, "Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu!" An enormous blast of fire burst from his mouth as it took the shape of a dragon and flew towards the Dementors making them scatter in an effort not to get burned to ashes. Though not every Dementor made it in time.
Tetsuo dropped his hand as he knew the ground was coming close and right before he closed his eyes he heard a shout
"Aresto Momentum!"
Everything went black
-Hospital wing-
"He looks a bit peaky doesn't he?"
"What do you expect Ron, let's drop you off the Astronomy tower and see what you look like afterwards."
"Probably a better sight than he normally does," Tetsuo joked as he came back to a conscious state
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked worried
"Brilliant," Tetsuo answered sarcastically, he was actually feeling like Yin had stomped on his head
"Gave us a right good scare there, mate." Fred put in
"What happened?"
"You fell of your broom," Ron said with an obvious look
"I meant the match," Everyone suddenly looked uncomfortable
"No one blames you Tetsuo, the Dementors aren't meant to come on to the grounds. Dumbledore was furious. After he saved you, he sent them straight off." Hermione told though she didn't look any the less uncomfortable
"You aren't telling me something," Tetsuo said with narrowed eyes as he sat up in bed and looked at his two of his friends
"Everyone sorta saw the um," Ron fake coughed in his hand, "Dragon," He looked away at Tetsuo wide eyed look, "They don't know what to think, I heard that everyone's betting on that Dumbledore's secretly training you or something."
"Well I had to save myself somehow," Tetsuo shrugged, he was starting to not care if people knew about his other abilities, he was a ninja of Konohagakure and he should display his progress in the arts proudly.
"There's something else you should know, Tetsuo. You're Nimbus - when it blew away - it sort of landed in the Whomping Willow. And well..." He unwrapped a blanket that had a singed and broken Nimbus inside.
Tetsuo hit his head on the pillow, "Fuck my life," He groaned
"Language!" Madame Promfry said from her place fixing a Hufflepuff
-Time skip unprecedented amount of time-
Tetsuo had often found himself with Professor Lupin, they would talk about the boy's parents or even studies. Remus had asked where Tetsuo had been staying at one point and Tetsuo debated with himself if he should tell the truth or not, but then that pride reared its ugly head and he found himself telling Remus everything. He felt that he could really relax around the man since he was so easy to talk to.
"I'm sorry about your broom, is there no hope of fixing it?"
Tetsuo shook his head sadly, "Why do they affect me so much, Professor. I mean more than everyone else?"
"Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They feed on every good feeling, every happy memory, until a person is left with nothing but his worst experiences. You're not weak, Tetsuo. The Dementors affect you most, because there are true horrors in your past. Horrors your classmates can scarcely imagine. You have nothing to be ashamed of."
"I need to learn how to fight them, since burning them isn't enough. You could teach me, you fought that one on the train" Tetsuo pleaded
"There was only one that night,"
"But you made it go away,"
"I don't pretend to be an expert, Tetsuo. But yes, I can teach you. Perhaps after the holiday, for now, though, I need to rest. I'm feeling... tired."
-Winter Babies-
Tetsuo stared down at the courtyard as another trip to Hogsmeade was taking place. He had a plan to sneak to Hogsmeade but without Dii he would have to rely on his cloak. As he walked the courtyard he spotted Fred and George making a snowman. He knew he had somehow been spotted when they slowly came close to him and grabbed his arms.
"Guys what are you doing?"
"Clever Tetsuo," Fred said
"But not Clever enough," George joined
"Besides we've got a better way."
"Let go I'm trying to go to Hogsmeade." He could easily break out of the hold but he didn't want to hurt them
"We'll show you a quicker way,"
"If you pipe down." Fred and George dragged him back into the castle
"Now Tetsuo,"
"Come and join the big boys," Both of them said in unison as they sat Tetsuo on a set of wooden stairs, they snatched off his cloak as he glared at them
"What do you think you're doing." They had the nerve to shush him as they handed him a piece of parchment, "What's this supposed to be?" There was nothing written on it so it was useless
"That there is the secret to our success," Fred pointed to the paper
"It's a wrench giving it to you believe me,"
"But we've decided your needs are greater than ours. George, if you will...,"
George took out his wand and tapped the parchment, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." He spoke clearly and red ink started to flow through it
Tetsuo saw the lines start to form words, ''Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present The Marauder's Map.'"
"Ah we owe them so much," George said with an appreciative smile toward the parchment
"Hang on, this is Hogwarts." He saw a set of footprints that had a name next to it, "Is that really-,"
"Dumbledore,"
"In his study,"
"Pacing,"
"Does that a lot actually,"
Tetsuo looked up at them at disbelief, "You mean this map shows…"
"Everyone."
"Everyone?"
"Everyone." George clarified
"Where they are,"
"What they're doing,"
"Every minute,"
"Of every day."
"This is amazing, where'd you get it?" Tetsuo asked this must be really rare and sought after
"Nicked it from Filch's office, of course, first year."
"Now listen. There's seven secret passageways out of the castle. But we'd recommend..."
"This one," They both pointed to a spot on the map
"The one eyed witch on the third floor."
"The one eyed…" Tetsuo thought back to the first time to where he had seen it before
"Witch, right. But you best hurry, Filch is heading this way." Fred pointed to a set of footprints that had the name Argus Filch over them.
"When you're done tap your wand over it and say 'Mischief managed'." The tapped the parchment and the red lines started to disappear
-Hogsmeade-
"Did I mention that it's the said to be haunted, oh wait I already said that."
"Yeah, you said it twice," Ron said with a nervous chuckle, they were alone together and he didn't doubt that this was their first time actually being alone together, Tetsuo or Dii were usually with them if not both. They never really had time alone and now that they did things were pretty awkward between them
"Do you want to move a bit closer?"
"Huh?"
"To the shrieking shack,"
"Oh… actually I'm fine here." Ron was so thankful it was snowing so he could blame the blush on that
"Well well well, look what we have here," Ron and Hermione turned around hearing Pansy's voice as she stood there with Crabbe and Goyle. "You two shopping for your dream home?" She laughed when Crabbe and Goyle did gauging her own joke, "Seems a bit grand for you, Weasel-Bee. Doesn't your family all sleep in one room?" She taunted
"Shut your face piggy," Hermione taunted back
Pansy clicked her tongue, "Seems we're going to have to teach Granger a lesson about respecting her betters." She was getting ready for another taunt when a snowball hit her in the face, "Who threw that!" She screeched as she looked around but seeing no one, another snowball came out and smack dab hit her in the face.
A number of snowballs came flying at the three Slytherins before they gave up looking and ran off. Hermione laughed knowing who it was, "Tetsuo, you can come out I know you're there."
Said boy came from under his invisibility cloak and had on a giant grin, "That was so cruel," Ron was laughing none the less
"You say cruel, I say Karma," He shrugged as he folded his cloak
"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Remus asked wanting to know if the boy actually wanted to go through with this, "This is very advanced magic well beyond the ordinary wizarding level."
It was a couple of weeks after the holidays and as Remus promised they would start Tetsuo's defense against the Dementors lesson
"I'm absolutely sure about this professor," And it was true he wanted a way to defend himself against hordes of these things because apparently if you burn one to ashes two take its place. He had read that they had that characteristic that made them like Hydra's
In regular terms, Dementors were a real pain in the ass to kill
"Ok, I have the materials we will need prepared right over here." He gestured to a chest, "Now the spell I'm going to teach you is called the patronus charm, the patronus is a kind of positive force. For the wizard who conjured one it works sort of like a shield and has the Dementor feeding on it rather than him. In order for it to work, you'll need to think of a memory it has to be a very happy memory and a very powerful memory. Now close your eyes and concentrate,"
Tetsuo closed his eyes as he searched his mind for a powerful happy memory, there were a lot of happy memories but only one stood out clearly at him but it also confused him. "I have one,"
"Good when I open the chest I want you to let your memory engulf you, let it flow throw as you speak the words 'Expecto Patronum.'"
"Expecto Patronum," Tetsuo repeated
"Shall we, wand at the ready," Remus unlocked the locks on the chest as a Dementor burst out
Tetsuo concentrated on the memory on the feelings he felt when it happened and spoke clearly and loudly, "Expecto Patronum!" A wisp of white came out of his wand and took the form of a very large dog and when Tetsuo saw it more closely it reminded him of Akamaru
The patronus battled the Dementor back into the chest were the locks resumed their place. The patronus turned towards Tetsuo and, just like Akamaru does, licked his face. Tetsuo petted the wisp feeling nothing but air under his fingers, "Thanks," The wisp nodded and then disappeared
He heard applause and saw that it was Remus, "Well done, well done. Most wizards can't even form a wisp let alone a full patronus your memory must have been powerful, mind telling me what it was?"
Tetsuo smiled as he stared into space at what had happened several years ago, "Well it was the first time anyone stood up for me. My best friend Kiba stood up to some bullies when were just kids and he's been my friend ever since." He would probably never forget that day because it was the greatest day of his life, to have met the Inuzuka boy.
"Wink wink…Nudge nudge."
'What are you talking about now?'
"Oh nothing, I just can't wait for future events to unfold." If Yin could he would be rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet
"I think you would give your father a run for his money and that is saying something. We could try again tomorrow if you'd like so why don't you head on back to your dormitory." Tetsuo nodded taking the offered chocolate as he stood up and headed for bed.
The one jutsu in here is that great fire dragon Jutsu
