Chapter Twenty Six: Masked Nin

With a sigh Harry woke slowly. He looked around and found himself in a large room and in a comfortable bed. He felt a tingle on the back of his neck and then a stabbing pain in his forehead. He jumped up on instict as he felt danger rapidly coming at him. He flipped over the bed and landed as a katana sliced threwhis bed. A masked man hissed before leaping at a nearly nude Harry who jumped back and into the hall. He saw Madame Pomfrey drop a tray of potions and food as a kunai was tossed at him. He barely ducked it and was rewarded by a few strands of hair being cut from his head. "Who are you!" Harry demanded.

"I am a Missing-Nin sent to eleminate you for hurting Lord Orochimaru."

"Harry, run!" Madame Pomfrey called loudly drawing her wand only to get a shuriken in her hand from another masked figure. Harry cursed himself and scanned the room quickly finding six masked attackers all drawing or holding katana and moving towards him.

"You want me then come after me baka's." Harry sneered and ducked out the doors and rushed threw the halls as fast as his weakened body would let him. While they had speed he had knowledge of Hogwart's. He jumped over the railing of a staircase and landed two floors down in a roll down the stairs before springing from them never loosing the momentum. He saw the Great Hall and knew he was near the main doors and could get them out in the open if he played his cards right. However he heard the students all talking loudly in the Great Hall and realised that he needed his team and Kakashi as well as Gai if possible. He rolled aside missing a swing at his head and diving into the doors tossing them open. "ATTACK!" He roared loudly in English knowing that it was the best he could do or else he would die.

"Harry!" Hinata screamed before tossing a fork at an attacker. Harry rolled up as he saw Kakashi get something from, his old teacher and possible future teacher as well, Jiraiya. Kakashi tossed him a satchel of weapons and Harry grabbed a kunai as well as a windmill shuriken as he slipped the kunai in his teeth and grabbed another.

"Leave him be Headmaster, they came for him and joining his fight would endanger others."

"Kill him quickly!" The apparent leader called as Harry lowered his head and activated his Sharingan. The two on the outside of the line of masked nin attacked quickly attempting to over power the younger man. Harry tossed the windmill shuriken at the one on his left and the man blocked it only to carry threw his swing of his katana to find a kunai aimed at his chest. Both connected not killing but mortally wounding the two attackers. Everyone but those who knew Harry where shocked. "Baka! Everyone attack the boy now!" Harry flipped back holding his arm out and snatching a stunned student's wand from his hand. He quickly flicked it at his kunai he had pulled from his mouth and it grew rapidly into a seven foot sword matching the one that had been used against him and his team years ago by Momochi Zabuza. He dropped the wand and stood there in his boxers holding a very large sword with both hands ready to strike.

With a smirk he held his hand up and signaled them to attack. He saw them move to attack and he quickly did a kata to summon three clones complete with boxers and a big sword. One stood on the Ravenclaw table while another stood on the Hufflepuff table and two in the aisle. The four masked attackers charged ducking the swing from the four Harry's and coming up to slam kunai into their throats. None missed, and yet as quickly as the wounds had happened all four vanished in a puff of smoke. "Where is that bastard?"

"I don't know, take a hostage and he will come out."

Harry appeared in a cloud of smoke and tossed the sword at the man on the Hufflepuff table cutting him litterally off at the waist. "AIR BLADES!" He roared as he pulled back both arms and swung at the two in the aisle. He flipped up onto the Ravenclaw table and didn't even bother doing a kata. He grabbed a platter and lifted it in a swing nailing the last man in the chin with it shattering his jaw and sending him flying. As the man was lifting into the air he dropped his kunai and Harry grabbed it with one hand while letting the other hand release the platter. He pulled his arm back and tossed it at the man as he came down and as luck would have it hit him, right in his privates making even Harry flinch. "Take care of them Kakashi, please." Harry asked as he feel back landing on his behind as he let out a breath.

"No, we will take care of them." Jiraiya said as he marched forward and did a series of quick kata's as a dozen clones where created. "Kakashi, Gai, take Harry back to his bed in the hospital and stay there till me and Tsunade are done and replace you." No one questioned it as Harry let the two men help him to bed, they didn't say anything to him as he was lead to bed but the silence was enough to worry the teen.

A few hours later Jiraiya and Tsunade came into the hospital wing with Dumbledore and a few teachers including Snape. "Harry, why did you nearly kill those men?" Dumbledore asked first suprising the raven haired teen with his question.

"What? Are you seriously asking me while I tried to kill them?" Dumbledore nodded. "They came to kill me are posed a risk I was not and still am not willing to live with. If they are not dead then they only increase the danger to my life and everyone elses."

"Their dead." Jiraiya said without emotion. "Why did you take so much time fighting them or even leave them alive."

"Because I was about out of chakra."

"His power was healing him Jiraiya and even with the demon's power added to his own he was unable to tap more once healed because the damage was so bad that he would have died or been comatose forever had it not been for Kyubi." Gai said sadly.

"Fine, I agree with that then. I would rather have you alive and safe than see you kill those men." Jiraiya said with a smirk.

"How did you do all of that Potter?" Snape questioned looking at him oddly. "You did wordless magic and again you did more of that other magic that you and your friends do without a wand."

"Severus," Dumbledore tried to stop his friend from doing what many wanted to do.

"No Headmaster, the brat has skills that he should teach all the Order so we could protect the school and him better."

This time it was Tsunade who spoke up for the five ninja. "What he has learned to do is his to tell but he won't. His skills are his own and if you try to force him to tell you then you had better hope one of us or one of the others doesn't find out because it would mean death for you. Dumbledore, get this man out of her. If he speaks of my son without the respect due to him I will personally make his life hell." No one questioned her as she glared at the man with such anger that it was almost tangiable.

"Yes, come Severus. I think its time you and I sit down and talk about this unmitigated hatred you feel for Harry." Dumbledore said looking at his friend with a stoney expression. "Before I leave, I would like to state that I do not agree with your killing of those masked men but as long as I have no evidence that they are dead besides words that can't be proven then I will be fine with it. Also, I ordered the other teachers to erase the memories of everyone but your close friends and family Harry. They will not remember it unless you tell them about it yourself and use magic to break the blocks." Harry nodded and the older man left with Snape behind him.

"Alright tadpole, you get some sleep. Me and Tsunade will be here when you wake up. Once your chakra is recharged we will start training you so that you can study under one of us specifically." Harry beamed and nodded before rolling over and closing his eyes as he was ordered and fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
