Chapter 6: Say what...?


Naruto stood outside the Great Hall's large doors, mind wondering everywhere but the present. What was Igor Karkroff doing to the Goblet of Fire in the middle of the night? And what did he do to block Neji's Byakugan? As everyone in Konoha knows, no one could block the Hyuugas' powerful bloodline. It was simply not possible.

"Hiashi," Naruto had approached the older Hyuuga that morning during their breakfast in the Great Hall. "Last night, Neji saw Igor Karkroff going into the hall in the middle of the night but he couldn't see what was going on inside. He said that his Byakugan had been blocked off?"

"That is impossible," Replied Hyuuga Hiashi with his eyes narrowed into a dangerous frown. "Even you, Naruto, would know that our bloodline cannot be blocked. It is definitely suspicious. It must mean that Igor Karkroff knows who we are."

"We haven't done anything to blow our cover," Naruto said, placing his hands on his chin like he was deep in thought. "And if Dumbledore-sama had decided to share our profiles with the other school's headmasters, wouldn't Madame Maxime have found out about us too?"

"Yes, it doesn't look as easy as it seems," Hiashi sighed. "Things are getting more complicated each time we move forward to the future. And the faster we move, the war in Konohagakure moves closer, this is difficult indeed," He paused then turned to the older version of Shikamaru who was quietly sipping on his morning tea. "Shikaku, I'm sure you've been listening, you too, Shikamaru. What do you both think about this situation?"

"Tch," Shikamaru grunted, pissed about having found out that he had been eavesdropping while pretending to be asleep. "Well, there's only two things I could make up from what you have said. Either Igor Karkroff really wants Krum to be the Durmstrang champion or he's an imposter."

"Eh? A henge? Certainly a thought to be suspicious of," Shikaku squinted his eyes and rubbed his stubbed goatee.

"Well, whatever it is, we'll just have to be even more cautious from now on," Naruto warned them and they nodded their heads in agreement.

"Hey," Ron greeted them lot as he, Hermione and Harry came into the Great Hall for their morning breakfast. Sasuke, Ino and Hinata, the three whom Naruto have selected to keep an eye on them for the mean time came trailing in behind them.

"Morning, Ron-san, Harry-san, Hermione-chan!" Naruto greeted them with a huge smile on his face.

"Morning, Naruto," Hermione replied though Naruto could feel that she had a cautious look displayed on her face.

"Hi," Harry greeted back and sat down beside Naruto. "Say, have you lot put your names into the Goblet yet?"

"Ah, we'll be onto that later," Naruto answered. "Maybe you could catch us putting our names in before you go to your next class?"

"Sure," Harry shrugged. "Are you going to submit your name in too?"

"Definitely, I'm the principle-to-be, remember? Can't slack off while the others take all the glory, eh?" Naruto gave him a wink before turning back to his friends on his other side. "Remember, Shikamaru, you, Sakura, Ino and Hinata won't be putting their names in as discussed. Sasuke, can you seriously reconsider putting your name into the Goblet? You know that if Madara has anything to do with this it would be chaos,"

"How about you reconsider putting your name in? Madara still lacks the Kyuubi and Hachibi. What if Killerbee gets caught? You would be the only one left and once he sees the chance he'll come for you next," Sasuke reasoned with him.

"Sasuke-ojisama is right, you know, Uncle Naruto," Nana had stopped bantering with her twin sister for a while to talk.

"When isn't 'Sasuke-ojisama' right?" Naruto mocked. "I said I'm going to put my name in the cup and that's that."

Shikamaru raised a brow at Naruto's sudden turn of language but did not say a word. "This is just too troublesome..."


In the darkness, and with only a candle in the middle of the table, three people sat around it while two stood behind their masters faithfully.

"I hope you have done the job?" the first man with an orange mask spoke first.

"Of course, and it is done rather succesfully. Even that weird boy with the white eyes couldn't see what was done!" Rasped the third male.

"Kukukuku...the Hyuuga's bloodline does have a limit after all..." the second one chuckled in glee.

"Just remember that this alliance was made to achieve what we want," The first male continued. "You will have the Potter boy as you wanted and I'll have Uchiha Sasuke and the Kyuubi as you promised me."

"Of course..." The third male answered after a loud cough erupted and the hunch-back male behind him had went to his side. "I don't need any of your assistance, Wormtail!"

"Y-Y-Yes, master..."

"Well, we'll meet again soon, come Kabuto, Zetsu, let's return to base." Kabuto just chuckled out loud as they transported out of the old house.


The night of the champions' naming ceremony came and every student of the four schools sat eagerly in their seats, awaiting for their champions' name to be called out.

The Konoha and semi- Suna group decided to take their seats with the other Gryffindors since they were always sitting with them. However, the Konoha Head Clan Leaders had taken theirs amongst the teachers with Kakashi, Gai and Kurenai.

"Settle down," Dumbledore yelled and the noise emitted from all the students shimmered to nothingness. "Thank you. Now we are going to select four champions from each school. When you are chosen, please proceed to the dungeon behind me and await furthur instructions." Dumbledore made a move nearer to the Goblet of Fire while he dimmed the lights around them.

Suddenly, to everyone's amazement, the Goblet's fire turned from blue to red and with a matter of seconds, a parchment came out from the fire. Dumbledore caught hold of the piece of parchment and announced the said champion's name, "From the school of Beaubaxton Academy, Fleur Delacour!"

Cheers interrupted from all corners as the blond jumped from her seat to shake hands with Dumbledore before proceeding to the dungeon as instructed.

Silence overwhelmed once more as the Goblet's fire turned red once more. Another parchment flew out. "From the school of Durmstrang...Viktor Krum!"

Loud whoops were heard from the Durmstrang boys as each pounded on the said champion's chest with pride and Igor smiled with glee from where he sat.

The whole school sat impatiently for the next champion. There were now only two schools left. Who would be the next champion? "From the school of Konohagakure Academy of Magic," Dumbledore squinted his eyes, trying to read the name on the piece of parchment. "Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Dang you, Sasuke!" Naruto pouted as his best friend's name was called.

"Yay, Uncle Sasuke!" Uchiha Shiyo and Nana both cheered for their only relative. Sakura beamed at him and blushed as his lips covered hers for a brief moment. "Ooooo..." The twins made goo-goo sounds and cackled at them.

Sasuke went up to shake hands with Dumbledore and went to the dungeon.

This time silence was as heavy as a grey cloud. The last name to be read out of the cup would be a Hogwarts champion! "Our Hogwarts champion is...Cedric Diggory!" The Hufflepuffs all stood to congratulate the lucky boy. Cheers and claps of applause were heard from everywhere.

But it all ended when the Goblet of Fire suddenly flamed up. Dumbledore backed a few steps but caught the two new parchment that had hissed out of the cup. "H-Harry Potter...and Uzumaki Naruto,"

The two new announcement caught everyone in surprise. Naruto had widened his blue eyes with shock as his teammates all looked at him. "Naruto..." Neji spoke worriedly for his leader. But Naruto made no move to answer him. He simply stood up and pushed Harry to his feet.

"Just go, don't care about what they are going to say," Naruto told him before pushing the lad to the dungeons.

"He's a cheat! He's not even of age!" One student yelled at Harry.

"Cheaters! What kind of Japanese school is that? A student that cheats?" Another one yelled at Naruto. The Konoha gang almost went to Naruto's aid, wanting to beat whoever that had said that to pulp but Gaara's sand and Neji's quick wits had stopped them from doing anything brash.

"Let them go, Naruto knows what he's doing," Gaara told them and they reluctantly sat down.

Naruto past Dumbledore and nodded his head, taking his piece of parchment before passing his Konoha elders.

"Hokage-sama...!" Anko had exclaimed. However, Naruto raised a hand which made them back down and he went down to the dungeon. "Kakashi! What is going on?"

"I don't know but as Gaara had said, he knows what he's doing."


After having heard his name being called out from the Goblet, Naruto knew that their complications had worsen ten folds. He pushed the metal gates open and pulled Harry in.

"Vat is eet?" Fleur Delacour's voice came behind them. "Do dey vant us to go up?" But Naruto made no move to answer her. The most important thing was to conclude Sasuke in everything.

"Harry, you stay with me, you understand?" Naruto patted the boy on the shoulder before pulling both him and Sasuke aside. "The Goblet spat our names out,"

"What?" Sasuke exclaimed. "But- no! No! You-!" He breathed in deeply and once he opened his eyes, they were blood red. "It must be Madara and the Akatsuki. I won't let them take you. I made a mistake once but I won't make it the second time!"

"Will you calm down, we don't even know it's them anyway," Naruto harshly whispered to him under his breath.

"Dumbledore-sama's on his way here now, what are you going to do?" Sasuke asked.

"I don't know, all I know is that whoever that was playing Igor Karkroff last night had something to do with this."

"Harry!" Dumbledore had 'flew' in and attacked Harry in a blink of an eye. The others were right behind him. "Did you put your name in the Goblet?" Harry shook his head out of sheer panic. "Are you sure? Did you ask one of the older students to put your name in for you?"

"No, sir!" He answered immediately.

"But of course de boy is lying!" Madame Maxime snapped, pushing the chandelier away from her face.

"But you have forgotten Madame Maxime, I was chosen too along with Harry," Naruto cut in, his face in a serious expression.

"Then you must have cheated and you were friends with Potter from the start who's to say that you did not help him submit his name in the Goblet?" Igor Karkroff spat.

Sasuke made a lunge to attack the man for bad-mouthing off Naruto but the blond boy stopped him. "We do not want to make matters worse for us," Naruto explained.

"Naruto's right. We should think this carefully before laying it out," Shikamaru's voice rang at the doors of the dungeon. He stood there with his usual lazy posture. The Konoha Clan Heads and teachers were there with him.

"Neji had reported of Igor Karkroff sneaking into the Great Halls last night but he couldn't watch furthur as his Byakugan was blocked off," Hiashi reported, ignoring the other looks from other people in the room.

"But that's impossible," Tsume growled. "Everyone in Konoha knows that the Byakugan is impossible to be blocked!"

"Apparently it is not impossible after all," Naruto sighed.

"So Igor Karkroff may be the one to 'magic' the both of your names out from the Goblet?" Tsume frowned in confusion. "That man, right there might be the one to sneak Potter's name in?"

"That, I'm not sure," Naruto answered. "But from what Shikamaru could get is that either Karkroff's a fraud or he just wants Krum to be one of the champions."

"No matter what, I think Uchiha Madara and the Akatsuki are in this," Sasuke boldly told them and the leaders nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yeah, it might be just them too," Inoichi spoke.

"Excuse me, but shouldn't we discuss about this 'two extra champions' matter?" Karkroff budged in their discussion. He definitely did not like the sound of them talking about his name right in his face.

"Ah, yes," Naruto turned back to them. "About that, I feel that I have the need to tell you all something," He gave a smile their way and spoke.

"I did not put my name in the cup."


Oopsies, cliffhanger! Uh-oh! Naruto DID NOT put his name into the cup but his name got spat OUT of IT! What's going to happen? Why didn't HE put his name in the cup and don't forget the alliance between the most three evil people, WHAT will be their next MOTIVE?

Anyway, hoped you had enjoyed this chapter. Stay in tune for the next chappie!

R&R, people! Thank you!

Signing off, Uchiha Shiyo.
