Woohoo! After some time reading on this website, I've finally decided to make an account and write my first ever fanfic. A Harry Potter x Naruto crossover!
Before we start, I'll address some things that you will need to know about the story here. Naruto will be a bit smarter due to his upbringing. Don't expect him to be completely clueless about almost everything like in canon. He won't be OP! No! He'll progress along with the others at a good pace. So, this means no OP Naruto who breezes through everything and easily defeats the bad guys. And probably the most important thing: He will be a WIZARD and he WON'T use any jutsu's. I'm sorry but I don't want him to go around creating copies of himself or spamming rasengan's so if you don't like that then I suggest you leave…
Now that I've done my rant/informing, we can start the story. So, without further ado. Let's get right into it!
PS: English is not my first language, so I apologise for any grammatical errors or wrong use of slang and stuff.
Disclaimer: I own neither Harry Potter or Naruto. They are owned by J. K. Rowling and Masashi Kishimoto respectively!

"Dead demon seal!" Minato said the name of the jutsu spawning the Shinigami behind him before addressing his wife "Have a little faith! He is our son after all!" the blonde said looking at his panting wife who had a sad look on her face.
"After I finish the dead demon seal, I'll place your remaining chakra into Naruto as well. You'll meet the grown-up Naruto sooner thank think" his hands fell to his sides after having gone through the proper hand signs for the jutsu "The time will come when he'll attempt to take control of the fox's power… I want you there to help him"
Kushina's face turned into one of defiance "Our son! That's why! I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden all on his own!" she said trying to reason with her husband. But he only looked at her with a solemn gaze making her turn desperate "But why… why the dead demon seal?" she asked. Her voice full of desperate hope.
"There's no reason for you to die just so I can meet him for a few minutes when he's older!" she huffed a bit before continuing "I wanted you to be there for him. I wanted you to raise him! Why…" she said breaking eye contact and looking down before her voice turned into a sad whisper "Why are you sacrificing Naruto just to preserve the balance of tailed beast, to save the village and the country! Why are you sacrificing yourself for me?!"
Minato with some effort managed to answer while ignoring the aching in his heart seeing his wife's desperate pleas "Turning your back on the country, on the village is just as bad as abandoning a child. You should understand. You saw your own country fall apart. You know the pain of growing up without a home of your own and you know that we are a family of shinobi!" the redhead slowly started looking up "Besides, even if I lived, I could never substitute for you" he said while Kushina's eyes widened in shock at his words.
Crouching down, he gave her a small smile "There are things Naruto needs to be told, things I could never say myself. That's the mother's job, and I need you to carry it out even if you only have the briefest of moments to do so, this isn't just for you…" his eyes hardened in determination "This is for Naruto! Dying to make a better life for his son, that's the stuff you let the father handle!" he declared while Kushina's face turned into that of one that accepted everything.
The Shinigami's hand shot out through Minato's body towards the Kyuubi and latched onto its paw. "Seal" muttered Minato making the hand of the Shinigami yank backwards drawing a translucent shape of the fox along with while simultaneously shrinking down the Kyuubi. The translucent shape got absorbed into Minato's body sealing one half of the great calamity.
Summoning an altar for his child, he picked up Naruto and placed him on it "Now for the eight trigrams seal! I'm going to seal the Kyuubi inside Naruto" he explained towards the panting Kushina who after going through pregnancy, losing the Kyuubi and holding back for so long faltered slightly causing the chains to loosen and giving the beast an opportunity "Kushina, stay with me!" he shouted in concern seeing her condition but attention was drawn back towards the Kyuubi when he lifted his paw and went to impale their child.
Without even thinking, their bodies moved on it's on in front of Naruto to protect him from the attack. But in doing so they were both impaled in the stomach by the huge nail causing their blood to splash everywhere before the nail stopped right on top of their child very close to him.
"I said that this was the father's duty" Minato managed to stammer out through heavy breaths.
"If the father can do this job…" Kushina panted with blood running down her chin from her injury "The mother should be even better, right?!" the parents went on to joke slightly before Minato summoned a toad to store the key to Naruto seal. After an emotional talk to their baby, Minato sealed the other half of the Kyuubi and his remaining chakra into Naruto before they both fell to the ground having died from their injures.
The Shinigami was staring down at the two deceased individuals who had sacrificed their selves for their son. For humans, they seemed to have lots of courage and determination to go so far to ensure the safety of their precious people. Taking a glance at the baby his glowing yellow eyes widened ever so slightly.
"A child of a prophecy hmm" he mused looking towards his left seeing the predecessor of the deceased blonde looking at the scene intently while the masked men were trying to get inside the barrier "How amusing."
Looking back at the supposed prophecy child he got an idea for his entertainment. Taking his sword from his mouth, he unsheathed it and slashed the air in front of him opening a black rectangular portal. With his powers he lifted the baby into the air and through the portal. "For your sake you will have a much easier time there than here. Too much pain and misery will haunt you in this place" Taking one more glance towards the corpses and the former leader he allowed himself a satisfactory smirk before vanishing from his spot.
The third Hokage stood there dumbfounded as he just watched his successor's child floating and disappearing into a black portal. He was gaping at the scene not knowing how to respond to this phenomenon or disaster. The ANBU next to him had the same reaction, standing there frozen in shock, weariness and surprise. For all they had seen during their reign in the ANBU corps, such a thing right now seemed to be on top of the list.
The barrier collapsed getting them out of their shock yet they could only stand there thinking about the loss of the new Jinchuriki. Hiruzen's eyes widened even more as that thought rang throughout his head. They had lost not only the child of a Hokage but someone who had the potential to be an extremely powerful shinobi for the village.
The arrival of multiple masked men and Jonins caused Hiruzen to act and dash forwards towards the corpses of the redhead and the blonde. He felt a pang of pain go through his heart seeing both of them dead.
He had grown close to both of them during his time grooming Minato into a Hokage and now seeing both of them die here at such a young age was disheartening. 'Not to mention they couldn't raise their child and now he's not even here' wordlessly he motioned for his ANBU to pick up the bodies and seconds later the entire clearing was empty.
No corpses, no ANBU, no baby and no nine tailed fox was present anymore.

"Old man!"
The old Hokage's head rose up upon hearing the voice calling out to him and saw one of his students and one of the three Sannins, Jiraiya.
"Old man I came as soon as you con…" the sannin stopped once he saw his teacher's posture. He looked as if he had aged even more than he had in his entire life. This wasn't already a good sign if that was anything to by "Sensei?"
Suppressing a tired sigh, the Hokage decided to start the dreaded conversation "Minato and Kushina are dead."
That threw Jiraiya foor a loop but quickly shook his head "That's a good one sensei" he said laughing about the ridiculous statement he just heard. His student wasn't someone you could easily kill and if his wife was with him then it was even harder. He stopped laughing once he didn't hear anything and his heart sank "No" he whispered in horror.
"I'm afraid so Jiraiya" the Hokage answered with a sad tone. He knew how much Jiraiya loved Minato. Both Minato and Kushina were like a son and a daughter to him. So, knowing they died must be absolutely heartbreaking for the Sannin.
"Wuh… but… how?" was all he could mutter as his voice broke slightly before a very important detail came back to him "The kid! Where is the kid? Is he ok? Please tell me he's ok!" with each question asked, Hiruzen felt a pang of hurt in his heart because after every question, Jiraiya's voice turned from sad to curious and finally to pleading.
"The birth was," he paused thinking of how to word it "It was complicated."
"What do you mean?!"
"I don't know what happened but somehow, the Kyuubi got released from the seal during the birth" Hiruzen revealed much to his student's shock.
"But how?" The whitehaired man questioned "With Minato being there it shouldn't be possible… unless?" he asked slowly.
"I believe something or rather somebody intervened the birth as he had knocked out all the ANBU patrols there and managed to capture Kushina under Minato's nose and afterwards release the Kyuubi onto the village" the Hokage answered as they both let that sink into their minds. "The Kyuubi destroyed a large part of the village while I and other shinobi tried to push it out of the village."
"Dammit! I should've been there!" Jiraiya said through gritted teeth. He was angered at himself for not only being able to help the village but also not being there during the birth.
Maybe, just maybe if he was there then things could have gone differently.
"Don't beat yourself over it Jiraiya" Hiruzen admonished him "This was not some any of us could have seen coming" his shoulders slumped slightly while letting a sad and tired sigh "None of us."
The Hokage himself was unsettled, angered and saddened by the events because he had lost his successor but not only that. He had lost his wife too.
"Do we have any information on who this person could be sensei?" Jiraiya asked having calmed down slightly after his teacher's word but yet still angered at himself. He frowned when the Hokage shook his head but realized that the Hokage had yet to breach the news of his godson to him. "Sensei about N-Na-Naruto" his voice broke slightly upon muttering his godson's name.
The Hokage frowned hearing the pleading and sad tone in his student's tone. He knew that Jiraiya was the godfather of the baby and with that information, he hated himself for what he was about to tell him.
"Minato teleported the Kyuubi out of the village to a large clearing where he could seal it away again-" he was interrupted by Jiraiya saying:
"But Kushina would just d-" the Sannin stopped once he thought about the situation in his head and his expression turned into that of horrified denial.
"Yes, Minato wanted to seal the Kyuubi by using the Shiki Fuin into his newborn son, Naruto" Hiruzen answered grimly and had to look away seeing the expression on his student's face.
Jiraiya almost felt his entire body go numb hearing that. First his son and daughter figure were attacked, then his village was almost destroyed and to top it off his godson now had the calamity that almost destroyed his village, sealed into his gut. His form started to shake slightly from all the information he was being given.
"When I arrived at the clearing Minato and Kushina were both impaled by the Kyuubi's nail which was aimed at Naruto but was stopped by both their bodies. The sealing was finished after that and both of them died but" here, the Hokage frowned once again in confusion but continued in a sad tone "A sort of black portal was conjured next to Naruto's body before he was quite literally floating and flew through that portal" he finished with narrowed eyes.
"You don't think it's the doing of whoever attacked both Minato and Kushina right?" Jiraiya questioned with clenched fist. His sadness was slowly turning into fury. He desperately wanted to destroy something right now but he had to keep a calm mind.
"It could be a possibility but this is also why I contacted you as soon as possible" Jiraiya straightened knowing this was a very important mission "I want you to use everything possible to find anything you can about Naruto or this person that attacked Konoha" the Hokage ordered with an authoritative voice. He got a nod before a poof smoke later, his student was nowhere to be seen and off to do his mission. He allowed himself to slump in his chair and heave a very tired sigh after all of it.
He was getting way too old for all of this. He had yet to even contact his council of Danzō, Koharu and Homura. That was another disaster just waiting to happen.

At midnight on a vacant street with houses on the sides, a man with a long beard was walking forwards towards a specific house but suddenly he stopped and pulled out a device and checked his surroundings for anything. Seeing nothing, he brought the device forward making all the street lamps turn off and dimming the streets.
Seeing a cat approach, him, he put down the device and in front of him, the cat turned into a woman with a pointy hat. Professor McGonagall greeted the headmaster of the wizarding school before asking him a question with an uneasy tone "Is it true Albus?" she asked, voice dreadful "About the rumors?" she clarified a bit.
"I am afraid so, Professor McGonagall, the good and the bad" was the answer she got making her suppress a sigh before asking again.
"And the boy?"
"Hagrid will bring him here" he answered getting her to give him a hesitant expression.
"Is it wise to trust Hagrid with such a big responsibility" she asked. While she didn't have anything against him. This was something very important and there was no room for failure. His heart was in the right place but he could very well be irresponsible at times.
"I would trust Hagrid with my life, Professor McGonagall" Dumbledore answered with a firm tone. His belief in Hagrid easily recognizable in his tone. Hearing a sound of a motorcycle made them turn towards the direction and sure enough, there was Hagrid descending towards them with the boy who lived in tow.
Taking off his goggles, the giant greeted his fellow Professor and Headmaster while stepping out of the vehicle.
"No problems, were there Hagrid?" asked the headmaster.
"No sir, he fell asleep as we was flyin' over Bristol" the giant answered. Both Albus and Minerva bent forward over the blankets and saw a baby with a tuft of jet-black hair. A scar in the shape of lightning right on his forehead.
"Is that where…?" Professor McGonagall half asked and half stated.
"Yes" confirmed Dumbledore. "He'll have the scar forever."
"could you not do something about the scare, Dumbledore?" she asked.
But the Headmaster shook his head denying the ability to be able to heal the scar. Taking baby Harry into his arms, Albus prepared to set him in front of the Dursley's house but the sound of a choked sob made them turn towards the giant who was suppressing tears.
"Could I… could I say good-bye to him, sir?" Hagrid asked. Upon getting a nod, he bent forward to give the baby a kiss all the while suppressing tears.
Professor McGonagall patted his back soothingly before turning towards Albus. "Are we sure leaving him in the care of them is a good idea Albus? I've seen these people, they are the worst kind of Muggle-"
"They are the only family he has left" Albus interjected but Minerva was still not convinced.
"The boy will be famous. There won't be any living soul in our world that would not know his name" She whispered to him.
"It will be Alright Minerva" he answered and explained as to why it would be better to leave him in the care of the Muggles. Reluctantly, she let go of the subject prompting Albus to step forwards and lay down Harry gently on the doorstep. Taking a letter out of his cloak, he tucked it inside Harry's blankets and came back to the waiting Professors.
"Well" Albus said after arriving "That's that, We've no business staying here. We may as wel-" a boom of lightning shooting down from the sky caused his speech to stop and look towards the sound. The sound of cracking followed afterwards before it went deathly silent once again.
"Hagrid" Dumbledore said after a second of silence "Meet us there as fast as you can" he said before having apparited away along with Professor McGonagall.
Hagrid having gotten what seemed to be an urgent command wasted no time in doing just what he was told but not before shooting Harry one last glance.

Arriving at the spot where the lightning had struck, Both Albus and Minerva wasted no time in searching for any anomaly. Sudden lightning striking during such clear weather while there also not being any storm was suspicious. There seemed to be more to this than just a random strike of lightning. Not to mention the sound of cracking or something being broken.
Professor McGonagall turned her head to the left upon hearing something akin to… crying? Walking towards the sound at considerable pace she finally saw what she heard and her eyes softened at the sight. An altar, where a baby with a tuft of very bright, almost golden blonde hair and strange markings on both sides of his cheeks. 3 small whisker-like markings, very much resembling those of foxes or cats. Bending down she took the baby into her arms and rocked him back and forth being successful in calming him down. She looked to her right seeing Albus having arrived.
Albus looked down next to the altar that the baby was resting in and saw the ground slightly scorched. It seemed like this was where it had struck. But the question was. How did the baby end up here of all places?
"Albus?" Minerva whispered getting his attention.
The bearded man looked at down child and let a smile grace his lips upon seeing the sight of the cute baby with the strange whisker marks on his cheeks. A crackling sound made both of them look at the lights which were flickering on and off.
That was something that instantly made both of them even more interested into the entire situation now.
"This is not something we can ignore Albus" Professor McGonagall advised with stern eyes "First the attack on the Potter family and now this…" she looked down at baby in her arms and once again her eyes softened at the sight of innocent sleeping face of the baby.
Albus saw a note attached coming from the blanket the baby lay in and picked up "Naruto Uzumaki" he read slowly as he hummed "A rather peculiar name" he commented.
"It seems to be a foreign name" Minerva commented while sharing the thought of the name being strange for someone to be from London. They once again heard the sound of Hagrid's motorcycle coming down towards down making Naruto cry from the sound.
Minerva suppressed a scowl of annoyance but managed to do so knowing Hagrid did not mean to wake him up intentionally. She rocked the baby back and forth once again as the sound was no longer there making it easier for the baby.
"Another little fella'?" Hagrid asked upon seeing the sight.
"We cannot conclude that this seems to be connected to the events that took place tonight" Albus started getting both their attention "But you are right, Professor McGonagall. This is not something we can easily ignore."
"But what do we do with the child" she asked while unconsciously bringing him closer to her chest. As if protecting him from any dangerous ideas or places he could be sent to. Dumbledore frowned slightly seeing that knowing his idea will not be liked.
"We have no choice but to send him to an orphanage" he said and saw an expression of weariness come across Minerva's.
"Albus, I do not think that leaving something like-" her mouth clicked shut as Albus held up his hands to stop her from talking.
"I do not like it more than you do, Minerva" he commented with a sigh "None of us have the time to take care of the child, otherwise we could have done that for Harry too" he reminded her getting her to frown.
She looked down at the baby in her arms, frown still in place knowing she couldn't deny it. None of them could take care of the child with their responsibility even if the circumstances of the baby seemed to be very vague and interesting. An orphanage seemed to be the best case if they could not find any-.
"What about his family" Hagrid asked feeling sympathy for the child.
"I'm not sure if there is any possible family Hagrid" he commented with a grim tone "The possibility of the child being abandoned might not be low but seeing the scorching mark next to the altar connects him to that lightning strike we saw" he finished with narrowed eyes.
Hagrid was surprised at that not expecting a baby of all things to come from something like that. But he understood after hearing that and knew that he would not have a family here thus leaving an orphanage as the last option.
"Hagrid, take the boy to an orphanage" Albus said getting a nod while Minerva slowly and reluctantly handed Naruto over to the giant. "I will keep an eye on him during his childhood till he comes of age to attend Hogwarts."
That drew both of them for a loop. Minerva not so much having seen what the child had done with his magic but certainly was still surprised. Hagrid wordlessly nodded and Dumbledore put the name card back in the blankets as Hagrid left to find an orphanage for little Naruto.
"Are you sure that was the right thing to do Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked not liking the idea of both Harry and Naruto growing up like the way they will.
"Trust me on this, Minerva" he commented watching Hagrid take off "Both the boys will be taken care for till they can attend Hogwarts." Minerva let it go and both of them Apparited away from the spot leaving behind only an empty altar next to the scorching ground.

Aaaaaand done! Chapter 1 is officially done and both Naruto and Harry are with their respective family. Some parts might seem OOC but mehh. A couple of things I want to address before you guys go away.
This will not be a Yaoi fic. There is a lot of Yaoi fics on this section of crossover and I don't have anything against it but I just want to tell you guys that there will be no Yaoi!
The pairing is already set... but I will keep it a secret for a short while. You guys are welcome to try and guess what the pairing is. It'll become clear in a couple of chapters so you don't have to wait to long for it to be revealed.
Lastly! Which house should I put our boy Naruto in? I'm still indecisive over Gryffindor or Slytherin. Slytherin because of Kurama and how ambitious and cunning Naruto is. Or, Gryffindor because how determined and courageous Naruto is… Let me know what you think is the best house for him to be sorted in.
Thank you for reading and leave a review!
