Disclaimer: Harry Potter was owned by J.K. Rowling while Naruto was owned by Masashi or something like that…I don't remember.
Author's Note: Okey dokey, in this story Naruto and his friends have known about the fact that he was Kyuubi's vessel and also yondaime's legacy. Hmm…I did make Harry didn't look to be concerned of his relatives' deaths but I won't bother with it. English is not my forte, so don't go around suing me for my bad language.

Chapter Three
Some Story Telling
/They WHAT/ the werewolf shouted earning glares from the 3 black haired newcomers.
/They saved my life. It was them who kill Tom's little group. Aunt Petunia and others were already dead by then/
"Where're the bodies then/Shit! This is starting to get ridiculous. If the Dursleys dead what will happen to Harry's protection? And talking about protection…why did the wards not reacting at all? Did it had malfunction?
/Dumped in the backyard so none could see them/ he paused and looked intently at his father's friend. /Why did none of the order member help me right then? I was under the impression that I was put under heavy surveillance. Guess I'm wrong, huh/
/There should be one person that always watching over you, I don't know why no one alarmed us/
/What about the supposed blood protection? Dumbledore said that I would always be safe as long as I stay here. Was that some kind of a joke to put me under house arrest or so he could control me/ Harry started to get angrier by seconds.
Remus was taken aback by the venom laced on his words. /I honestly don't know, Harry. You should ask him yourself/
Harry snorted. /Yeah, right. He would never answer directly anyway, so why bother/
/Harry/
/What? I am right, you know/ His shout was starting to get louder until he heard someone cleared his throat. He remembered that he was having some guests right now. /Oh, sorry/ he muttered sheepishly.
"Could you please tell me what're you talking about? I don't understand your language," the white-eyed boy asked impatiently though he still tried to be polite.
"We were just talking about the death eaters you defeated," Remus chose his words carefully. Harry looked back and forth between them obviously feeling left out of the conversation and got annoyed.
"Nanda? Death eaters? That was a funny name," Naruto remarked. "They should have tried to find more appropriate name. I mean…it was them who got killed, and how can human eat death anyway?" His shinobi friend could only rolled their eyes at his statement. Trust Naruto to make a dumb comment. Remus on the other hand couldn't believe what he heard. Did that kid just insult the dark lord's followers? Oh yeah, he did…
"Yare yare and you're the one who was supposed to be yondaime's legacy," Shikamaru shook his head.
"Teme, what do you mean with that, lazy ass?" he growled, but he ignored him.
"Naruto," the fox boy quickly shut up at the glare his once genin team directed to him. Sasuke turned to the order members. His eyes were fixed at Remus. "Since you know our language you'll be our translator."
"Actually I know a better way to let you know our language…" the four shinobis looked interested. He squirmed under their gazes and inwardly hit himself for being afraid with a bunch of teenagers… A bunch of teenagers that killed death eaters and knocked out his comrades with relatively ease… He gulped
"I can cast a language charm to you—," but he was soon cut off by Neji who narrowed his eyes. Damn, that kid's eyes was scary…
"I don't trust you. And I sure as hell won't let you use your chakra at us, no matter how small that is."
Remus looked confused for a moment. Chakra? Small? "Erm… I don't know what chakra is…"
"That thing you shot from the stick is a manipulation of chakra," Sasuke answered for Neji.
"Chakra? I think you're wrong. It is magic not chakra or whatever that is."
"Magic?" Sasuke snorted. "There no such thing like magic. That was only chakra manipulation and I don't think that you can use chakra to suddenly make us know other language." Remus didn't know what to say. He wondered where the hell Dumbledore was now. He would be more suited in this kind of explaining field than he was. Sure he could demonstrate, but he gathered that the moment he flicked his wand he would probably lose his head. But then again, they did save Harry and the boy seemed to trust them… decision, decision…
Naruto cocked his head. The man in front of them looked confused and didn't know what to do. Yondaime's heir himself also doubted about the language jutsu. If there were something like that there would be many people use that, beside he also knew for sure that it was indeed only chakra manipulation. He stared at Harry who seemed to trust the Lupin man and sighed. He probably would regret this…
"Do it," four heads (Harry excluded) turned to him. His friends stared at him like he has grown 2 heads or something. He almost chuckled at their expression. He shrugged indifferently. "Harry trust him, and I trust him. Might as well do it. Beside if something happened to me, you could just torture him or something," he said cheerfully. Remus paled at the word 'torture'.
"Naruto you know that you don't need to do this, do you?" Sasuke asked him seriously. The blonde nodded.
"I know. But it's okay. If bad becomes worse the fox could fix it," he said and added 'I hope' in his mind. Remus wondered just who the fox was.
"Do something fishy and you'll regret the day you were born," Sasuke threatened the man. A dark glint passed his eyes as he eyed the werewolf. He played with his kunai to show him that he was being serious. Neji seemed to disagree but a look from Sasuke he backed off. Shikamaru was only eyeing the situation with an interest, wondering whether it was true. Afterall chakra wasn't supposed to make people know other language with just a swift flick of a wooden stick.
"I won't," Remus was quiet nervous and hope he was doing the charm alright, his hand was shaky and trembling that he didn't believe himself to cast it. "Langua English," a soft blue glow hit Naruto.
Naruto blinked. "I don't feel any different…"
/Do you understand what I say/
Naruto frowned. /Of course I do. What do you think I am? Stupid/ he nearly screamed. Harry and the shinobis looked shocked (Harry was less shocked than the others because of an obvious reason). The werewolf breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he was correct in the casting. He wouldn't want to get his head removed from its place.
"Naruto, you speak on their language," Shikamaru pointed out. He was still having difficulties to accept the fact that chakra indeed could be used in that way.
/I did/ Naruto's eyes widened. "Well I guess I did…" he trailed off. Sasuke watched him with interest. The way that Remus flicked his stick or wand or whatever he said it was, was almost the same like handseals. But it looked to be more unreliable since he and his kinds relied heavily on that thing. Rather pathetic actually, but he guest that it has its own advantage from the display he saw.
"Do you feel something strange with you? Is there any side effect?" he asked.
Naruto shook his head negatively. "Don't feel any different."
/You can speak English now/ Harry asked excitedly.
/Aa…I guest so/
/Cool! We can communicate easily now/
"I will be the next," the chidori practicer told the others as he gazed at the former DADA teacher. He stepped forward.
"Urm…alright," Remus proceeded with the same charm to him, then Shikamaru and at last a reluctant Neji.
/Since our communication problem is solved now we can talk about other things/ Sasuke smirked arrogantly.
/I think so…/ Remus knew that he was in a deep problem now. Why oh why he was the only one of the members who has to face this while the others decided to take a 'nap'?
Harry looked at them back and forth. He did notice the tension in the room. His eyes lit up when he saw Naruto's assuring smile and replied with a small smile in his own. It has been long since he last smiling. Apparently Remus noticed it since he looked glad even though he was still nervous around the 4 boys especially around Neji and Sasuke.
/So you bring them here, right into our headquarter? How smart of you to do that/ a greasy haired man said sarcastically to Remus. He eyed the 4 strangers with distrust and sneered at them and Harry. Unfortunately they didn't even look affected by his infamous glare, infact they sent death glare on their own, or in Naruto's case stuck his tongue.
"I can't believe we go here only to meet with a git who must have kunai shoved into his ass," Naruto growled causing Remus and his friends tried to hold back laughter, too bad it was unsuccessful. Harry gave a confused face, but he knew that the blonde must have insult Snape from the others' expressions. Snape himself couldn't speak Japanese but knew that he was the subject of sentence and didn't look happy with it. But before he could yell, Tonks decided that it was time for her to get up from her slumber. She groaned and clutched her head.
/Man I felt like a rampage hypogriffs trampled over my body/ she moaned painfully and rubbed her forehead from the couch Remus laid her in. She blinked when she saw 4 additions on the house. /Is it only me, or do I see 4 strangers here/ Nobody said anything. /Must have my imagination then/ with that she went back to sleep, the others were dumbfounded.
Naruto gaped at her. Is she real or something? Or is she just a blockhead?
Remus shook his head amusedly. That girl…
/Right/ Snape turned back to them. /We need to get back to the track. Lupin do you understand the consequence bringing them here/ he asked heatedly.
/It's not like I have any choice/
/A choice indeed/
/Oi/ Naruto shouted. /Don't speak like we aren't here, asshole/
/Why you little—/
/FREAKS! MUDBLOODS! HOW DARE YOU FILTHY SCUM STEPPED ON THE GREAT BLACK HOME! GET OUT YOU TRAITORS! SCUM! TRASH OF SOCIETY/ They all winced as the portrait chose a wrong time to wake up. Her high pitched voice hurt their ears. Tonks and the other unconscious members gave a start at the loud voice. They looked frantically at their surrounding trying to find what just happened and sighed when they realized it was Sirius' mother.
Naruto closed his eyes with his hand, with his heightened hearing he could hear it louder than others and this didn't bode very well with him. He felt Kyuubi stirred from his sleep and was very irritated.
What the fuck is that sound! God damnit shut the fuck off! He growled menacingly behind the bars. Kit! He called Naruto.
Yes?
Kill whoever shouted that! I will gladly teach you a new jutsu if you comply
Naruto grinned. He started to walk to the shrieking source with an evil smile plastered on his face. His 3 comrades raised an eyebrow at him, while the others especially the ones who just awakened looked confused.
/Who—/ Kingley Shacklebolt started but cut off by Lupin.
/Later/ not so long after they heard a loud shriek from the portrait and then come a loud cracking sound followed by an earthquake like on the house.
/WHAT THE/ Tonks and the others grabbed nearby things to avoid being thrown. When it was over they rushed to see what happened.
Their jaws except the 3 boys dropped to the floor and their eyes bulged at the sight, even Snape couldn't stop doing it. The portrait was destroyed; there were many wood splinters on the floor. Not to mention the wall behind the portrait was crushed beyond belief and there was a large crater there.
"Yare yare" Shikamaru shook his head exasperatedly.
"Hn… looks like your training with Godaime paid off," Naruto grinned at that.
"You mean HE did THAT!" Lupin bellowed as he pointed at the crushed portrait and wall.
"What's wrong with that?" he asked innocently.
"Well… there's no wrong in doing that…just how in the name of Holy Moon he did it?"
"Training of course, what else?" Sasuke smirked at the disbelief look the man sent him.
"Ha ha…," he laughed wryly.
/Lupin, you bring that dangerous boy here! Just what in the fuck delude your pea-sized brain to bring them here/ Snape shrieked.
/Whoa, I can't believe you just make the cold-blooded git shrieks/ Harry gave an awed face at Naruto. His respect of him went up to top notch. He really liked this group even if they were somewhat violent. Heck it even made it better from the flabbergasted looks of others.
"The fox promised he would teach me a new jutsu in return of destroying the horrible voice"
"He did?" Sasuke's face fell. "We have had enough problem fighting you as it was," Naruto could only grinned at his almost whining tone. Sasuke really looked cute when he whined like that. Of course he wouldn't say it in front of him, that way his chance to live longer was higher.
"Don't worry, I'll ask him for a jutsu that all of you could also learn," he gave a thumb at the dark haired teen.
"You better be," he glared.
Meanwhile Snape observed the scene with an interest. As a spy he was suspicious of them. Lupin suddenly came back with the Potter boy and 3 unconscious members plus 4 strangers. That was a suspicious situation from the beginning. And then there was the language he didn't know they spoke with. The inhuman strength the blonde boy got and it seemed that his friends didn't affected at all by the power display earlier which gave the indication that it was common event for them. And of course not to forget that the kid just destroyed the so-called portrait which not even Dumbledore could revoke from the place. Of course it would be different if the headmaster choose not to do so. Still it was interesting…
Lupin on the other hand has a rather same thought with Snape only added by the confusion of who the fox was, not to mention he knew that the blonde boy didn't speak with anyone before he marched to the portrait. His mind was currently a whirlwind. What to do?
A loud wail distracted his thought. He saw Kreacher mourned over his mistress portrait and screeched. His 4 guests were stunned and speechless at the appearance of the house elf.
"What the fuck is THAT thing?" Naruto shouted. The creature he saw wasn't like anything he has seen, even from Kyuubi's memories there was no recollection about it.
"Saa na. But from what I gather he seemed to worship whatever Naruto had destroyed," Shikamaru managed to reply.
"No kidding," Sasuke joined in. The poor elf was practically crying and gathered all that could be savaged from the remaining portrait. "Is it a threat?"
The lazy shinobi shrugged. "Probably, but even if it is, it won't be much of a problem. The others looked murderous at that creature though."
"Then why they just let it alive?"
"You should ask them yourself."
"Ne, old man," Naruto piped in.
"Old man? I'm not even 40 yet," he muttered darkly.
"Whatever. What is that?"
"That's a house elf. A creature whose life purpose is to serve wizard family."
"To make it short, a slave?"
"Not really, but well…How should I say it? Urm…" Remus had a difficulty to tell them. He then said something to Harry in English asking for his help.
/They are creatures that like to serve the human they bond with/ Harry answered. He made a face when he stared at the elf. The 3 perceptive boys (Naruto not included) quickly noticed the way he stared at the house elf. There must be some story behind it, but they wouldn't press it.
/Hee…/ Naruto nodded. He concluded that it was similar with the shinobi who would die to protect the village. /Ah, speaking of which, what should we do with the 4 people we caught/
/Caught? Lupin, is there something you forget to tell us/
/Actually there was an attack on Privet Drive/
/So that was what happened? I think that I just dream of it/ she didn't seem worried of it because she knew Harry was here safe.
/What do you mean that you think you dream it/ Snape was shouting now at the metamorphagus girl.
/Well when I enter the house someone knocked me out before I got the chance to retaliate/
/Ah, that's me who knock you out/ Naruto added sheepishly.
/HUH/
/Tell me the goddamn story before I loose my patience! Kingsley, Weasley/
/Sorry, we were knocked out too/ they said sheepishly. Sasuke and Shikamaru raised their hands. /You/ they nodded impassively.
/Lupin/ the growl has a warning tone behind it.
/I don't know/ he said exasperatedly. /I too am confused. Four of us immediately apparated nearby Privet Drive. There was no sign of death eaters, but then I smelled blood. I'm worried of Harry and entered the house. Then suddenly that kid/ here he pointed at the silent Neji, Snape raised his eyebrow when he noticed his white pupil-less eyes. /Threatened me with something sharp in my throat. The others came in but were knocked out by the 3 others then Harry came. As far as I know they're only muggles who somehow got involved or something/
/You bring muggles! Are you out of your mind! And do you think we can trust them/ Harry cleared his throat rather loudly. /What is it Potter/ he sneered.
/I don't think they're muggles/
/Oi, what is muggle/
/Non magical people/ Harry replied at the blonde.
/How do you know/ Remus asked curiously.
/Well, Naruto was playing with one of the death eaters' wand when it suddenly shot spark to the wall and made it like it was badly burned/
The order members quickly turned their attentions to Naruto who looked rather nervous. /Uh…shouldn't we talking about the people we tied and left in that house/
/He's right/ Sasuke said, covering for him.
/Fine/ Snape snarled but quickly shut up at the death glare which was even worse than his sent to him by the dark boy. /Weasley you better sent them to the ministry now before they have a chance to escape/ Arthur Weasley nodded and quickly apparated back to Privet Drive, Kingsley then followed him while Tonks stayed at the headquarters.
Neither was saying anything, so Tonks being the impatient she was, gave them irritated glare. /So, what happened/
Hary sighed and told them his story. He was doing his charm essay when he heard numerous loud bangs nearby. He thought of it as the order at first then realized that there should be only one not numerous bangs when suddenly loud explosion was heard from below. He quickly snatched his wand and headed downstairs (/ You what! Are you stupid or what? You should have escape instead of facing them/ Remus glared at the potion master but inside was agree with him. Harry just shrugged. /Can't. The Dursleys was there/) When he was there Dudley and Vernon were already dead while his aunt escaped from the door. The death eaters except 2 who were sent for me chased her. From where he was hiding, the young wizard hurled a chair to them who didn't expect that. He grabbed a baseball bat and hit them in the head with it rendering them unconscious (Remus gave him an approve look which embarrassed him)
When he was outside to help his aunt, she was already tortured and died of cruciatus curse. Then before they could catch him, the 4 boys came to his rescue.
/From what you told us, I conclude there are many Voldemort's followers there. Do you honestly want me to believe that they defeated them/
Harry wanted to strangle the greasy git here and there but decided not to…for now. / There are 20 or so there and I didn't lie when they killed them—/
/KILLED/ he shrieked.
Remus, Harry, and the 4 shinobis looked amused, though Sasuke and Neji hid it well with their impassive mask.
/Yeah, the only ones still alive were the ones I knocked out before. We dumped their and my relatives' bodies in the back yard—/
/Darn. Kingsley and Weasley haven't known about it, have they? Girl, I want you to contact Albus right away and the other members, we got serious problem here/ Tonks scowled but did as he told.
/What do you mean serious problem? They were handled/
/Think about it, Lupin/ Severus hissed. How should we tell about the dead death eaters to the aurors? Do you want them believe that 4 boys killed them? They would likely to arrest Potter there regardless they were death eaters or not. Fudge was planning something that we didn't like to gain the favour of wizarding society/
/But they killed death eaters/
/And he would arrest him with a reason that Potter is a cold blooded murder that should have been thrown to Azkaban/
/Surely he won't dare to do that/
/Do you dare to try it? I have some suspicion that the minister of us is a death eater/
/What/ chorused Harry and the other order members.
/In 'our' last meeting one of the death eaters spoke to Voldemort about the attack which was now obviously about that attack to Privet Drive, and I'm pretty sure that it was his voice/
/Did Dumbledore know about it already/ Remus asked frantically.
/I have told him after I came back/ He then turned to the shinobis. /I don't know who you are, but you should know that you're in danger now/
4 boys snorted simultaneously. Their lives were always full of danger. They could very well be killed tomorrow because of some missions to complete.
Naruto turned around and readied his kunai on his hand. The others followed his act when they felt a chakra coming to their direction. Remus and other looked confused, then Remus also heard the footsteps.
/Maybe it is Tonks/
Naruto shook his head. /The sound of the footsteps is different. Neji/
Neji activated his byakugan. The 3 wizards looked in morbid fascination and a bit of fear at the bulging blood veins around his eyes. /An old man with a long beard and half moon spectacle/
/That must be Dumbledore/ Harry knew that he and the other 2 wizards gaped at him (although Snape tried to make it not so obvious). He was actually not looking forward at the meeting with the old headmaster.
And it was indeed Albus Dumbledore. He looked tired and his twinkle eyes were gone replaced by worried face. He cast a look at the 4 boys before turned to the Boy-Who-Lived.
/Harry…/
TBC….
Ugh, I know that it's not a good place to end this chap, but I'm too sleepy and need my sleep. See you in the next chap.
