Chapters will be around 500-600 words long each, I have planned 20 of these chapters. So 10k words total. Shouldn't be that bad?
Takes place during Book 7 of Harry Potter, and after the Fourth Great Shinobi War in Naruto. This was, honestly, a completely random idea I had one day. Last year.
I have also totally forgotten what happens in both series since then, so I will do my best to research slash not make mistakes. Thanks.
Hiring Help from the East: Chapter I
They had been traveling for a week before they ended up in a foreign nation in a foreign country, far to the east of London. Honestly, they hadn't meant to travel so far, but as they kept searching for the Horcruxes, they ended up going farther than they originally thought they would.
It was only when they had reached the Elemental Nations in Japan when Harry realized maybe they were going in the wrong direction.
"There's no way Vol- You-Know-Who came all the way over here…" Harry grumbled as he stepped over another branch in the forest.
Hermione stared at him.
"And you hadn't thought of mentioning this earlier?"
Harry nodded mutely.
"Seriously, Harry! Sure, maybe Ron would do this, but he's not here, is he?"
"Oh, look, it's a village," Harry pointed forward, trying to redirect her attention. He blinked a few times as he saw that there actually was a village. "Ah."
"It won't hurt to go take a break, right? We've been sleeping in a tent for the past few weeks!" Harry looked at Hermione pleadingly. "Please?"
"Well, we have reached the Elemental Nations," Hermione replied. "I have heard they do almost any job in exchange for money. Maybe they'll be willing to help."
With that, Harry and Hermione stepped out of the forest and into view of the guards.
"gaijin? gaijin desu!" a young man at the gates yelled. Or at least, that's what Harry thought he said. A squad of people wearing animal masks seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
The squad, some of whom were carrying pointy objects, looked at Harry and Hermione.
"chakra blah blah" the same young man from earlier said. The animal mask squad made hand signs for a good five seconds before they stepped out of the way. One of them, who had what appeared to be a tiger mask, waved at them and said something.
Harry looked at Hermione.
"Uh… I guess that means we should go in?"
And so, they entered the village. Tiger Mask and his animal mask friends made more hand signs before the rest vanished in a puff of smoke. He, or she, then gestured for Harry and Hermione to follow him.
Harry and Hermione ended up following Tiger Mask up a few flights of stairs to an office. Personally, Harry was not sure what they were doing, or where they were going. He opted to remain silent for the walk there, lest Tiger Mask deem them as hostile foreigners and kick them out. As they entered the office, they saw a silver-haired man look up and wave at them.
"Yo."
"H-hi?" Harry waved back nervously.
"Hello," Hermione said, sounding confident.
Tiger Mask said something to the silver-haired man before disappearing.
"blah blah blah desu" Harry heard. He could not understand a thing.
"Um, so, I was wondering if you offer protection services? I heard that you offer services, right? Oh, do you have anyone open to Horcrux hunting? Wait, you don't know what those are, uh."
The silver-haired man stared at Harry blankly.
Hermione stepped up and drew her wand, casting a spell. "vertoverbum!"
"Ahem," Hermione began. "That should help. Hi, I'm Hermione, this is Harry, we're from England, and we're looking for some help."
