A/N: Okay,there's couple things I need to address real quick.

1.) I'm so glad many of you have been enjoying this story as much as I'm enjoying writing it! I can't thank you all for favorite(ing), and following, and reviewing this story. You guys and gals are awesome!

2.) Due to an overwhelming amount of requests via private messages, I'll be adding another pairing for Raiden bringing his harem to seven guys, four guys from HP (Neville Longbottom, Fred and George Weasley, and undecided) and three from Naruto, (Naruto Uzumaki, undecided {maybe Konohamaru from Shippuden}, and undecided.) So far I haven't decided which Naruto character will be end up with Raiden. Some have suggested Itachi, Gaara, Kimimaro, Yukimaru, Ranmaru,and Juugo. If you want any of the guys I've mentioned or have another suggestion, make sure to leave a comment with your choice and I'll picked which ever has the most votes. And don't forget to choose another character from HP.

3.) This story is will be slash and there's going to be m-preg, that's how Raiden and Naruto will be repopulating their clans; however there's also surrogacy. The m-preg won't be graphic when the child is born because I don't really want to write that.

4.) There's going to be Dumbledore bashing, as well as Molly/Ginny/Ron Bashing.

5.) Currently, I've been trying to find a familiar to bond with Raiden and I don't know what animal to choose. A Shadow wolf, Lunar Wolf, Basilisk, Phoenix, Dragon, Wyvern, another magical snake, or another magical animal. So if you guys and gals could leave your vote/suggestion, I would really appreciate it!

6.) Raiden's paternity. In chapter Two, I stated that Senju Ryuichi married a woman called Tabitha Gryffindor (Yes, we'll be seeing the Hogwarts Founder's in the near future.) and birthed Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama. (I know their real father is Senju Butsuma, and they had two other brother who died. They however didn't mention who the mother was, at least not that I remember.) Anyways, later on Hashirama marries Uzumaki Mito and they try to have a child, but fail. They later resort to have someone surrogate their child, (Lily, in this case), they succeed, but their child vanishes taken by magic and brought to the Lily's parents who they adopt. (Yes, magic decided take their child and leave it in another dimension.)

Now, Tsunade is the first granddaughter of Hashirama and Mito meaning their sired a child later own and their child later birthed Tsuande and her brother, Nawaki, unless they adopted them? They never did mention who are their parents, i think?

Lily carries the Senju and Uzumaki blood in her. She grows up, goes to Hogwarts and marries James Potter and they have Raiden (Harry).

Now on Raiden's (Harry's) father side. James Potter wasn't birthed by Charlus Potter and Dorea Potter nee Black. They were having trouble conceiving a child because and it wasn't until their older age they found a child on their doorstep and blood adopted him. James(just like Lily, was taken from the Elemental lands and wasn't the only one. . .) was originally a Ryuusuke who became a Potter, Black, and Peverell due to the blood adoption.

When James and Lily asked Sirius to become Raiden's (Harry's) godfather, they used a blood adoption in order for Raiden (Harry) to carry Sirius blood as a precaution if anything happens to them, Sirius would legally be able to claim Raiden (Harry) was his child.

Now, Sirius wasn't adopted. His family actually came from the Elemental lands and kept their names, as the Kuro's (japanese for Black), but changed it to English. He carries the Kuro (Black) blood, which went to (Raiden) Harry when he blood adopted him.

Hence, making Raiden (Harry) carry Senju, Uzumaki, Kuro (Black), Peverell, and Gryffindor blood. Keep that in mind, it will come up later in the story. Phew, I hope that makes sense?

Chapter 5: First day of school

September 13th, 1988, 6:30 am

Naruto's Apartment, Konohagakure no Sato, Hi no Kuni

"Naruto, Hurry up! We're going to be late, what are you looking for anyways?" Raiden asked exasperated by the frantic blonde, who was busy destroying his apartment looking for Kami knows what.

The blonde screamed out of frustration pulling his blonde hair, he falls onto the floor in defeat, pouting childishly. Raiden couldn't help but roll his eyes fondly at the dramatic blonde. He sat down next to Naruto and slightly nudges his shoulder. "What's the matter, little lion?" He asked his cerulean eyed friend.

Naruto looks down at the floor, grumbling about something but it's too muffled to make out anything. Raiden asked the blonde to repeat it what he said, clearly this time. "I can't find the goggles you bought me! You know the black ones with orange flames. I wanted wear them today." The blonde responds hotly, blushing a little by how childish he sounded but he didn't care. Those goggles meant the world to him because Raiden gave them to him as a congratulatory present for working his ass off all summer long.

One thing he learned about Raiden over the summer was; Raiden is a slave driver from hell. He wouldn't allow him to goof off; Raiden would constantly be throwing paper balls wherever he got distracted or worse, shock him.

Raiden reached into his pocket of his jacket and took out the pair of goggles he bought Naruto as a gift. He tossed them at the blonde, chuckling as he watched the blonde's face light up light a Christmas and wastes no time putting them on. He grins proudly modeling his eyewear.

"Now that you've found them let's get going. We'll make it on time if we take the short cut." Raiden pulls the blonde and both of them run at top speed. Thanks to their training and hard work during the summer, they arrive at the Academy within 5 minutes as opposed to the 15 minute walk it would have taken them. They quickly find their assigned classroom and sat down together, right in the center of the room.

Raiden noticed that many of the other clan's heirs have decided to enter the Academy as well as Naruto and him. Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, Yamanaka Ino, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and even the incredible shy Hyuuga Heiress, respond to his greeting and nodded back. He acknowledges those who's he's friendly with by giving them a small nod and smile, and ignore his group of fan-girls giggling coly at him.

While he might know the other clan heirs, Raiden wasn't close to any of them with the exception of Hinata, and Kiba. The meek, purple haired heiresses, has managed to squirm into his heart as a sister he has never had and the loud brash dog-lover wasn't so bad either.

The morning bell shrilled loudly making Kiba and Raiden wince lightly, thanks to theirs hyper sensitive hearing.

Many of the other students took their seats and quite down when the classroom door banged open, revealing a tall, lithe man with medium length, brown hair which is tied into a ponytail and a rather distinctive thin scar that runs across the man's nose. The brunette man was rather young to a teacher in Raiden's opinion but he'll wait to see if the man is a decent teacher.

The man chuckled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head he cleared his throat. "Whew, barely made it on time." The man joked nervously, "umm right. I'm going to be your instructor the following three years, I'm Umino Iruka and I'll be preparing you, to the best of my ability to pass the culmination test and receive your own hitai-ite to start your ninja journey. In order to pass and receive your hitai-ite, you must at least get 80% on the written portion and perform three ninja skill perfectly with no errors. Any question?" The kind man asked his class.

A pink haired girl with pale green eyes raised her hand immediately as soon as Iruka finished.

Raiden narrowed his eyes recognizing the disgusting shade of pink hair. It wasn't a common hair color within Konoha and he only knew one other person in the whole village with the exact shade of pink, Haruno Midori.

He turned around to ask Naruto who the pink haired girl was, but the blonde was busy gawking at the girl as if she was the prettiest girl in the room. He was slightly drooling and had hearts shape eyes. He tried not to thinking about the sudden pang of jealousy and pushed them away, he was NOT jealous of a pink haired bimbo. Hinata was way prettier than the pink haired girl. And he certainly wasn't pouting.

"Umm, I'm Haruno Sakura, Iruka-sensei. . ." The pink haired girl said meekishly.

'Ugh. Really, named after a cherry blossom tree, ain't that creative.' He thought snidely to himself waking up Matsu and snickered at Raiden jealous antics.

The demon wolf prowled around his den and he walked into his forest in Raiden's mindscape. He took a sip of water from the stream and responds, ["you know it's just a crush, right? And he's just nine turning 10 in a month and a half he doesn't know what he likes."]

'I know that. It's just I don't like her. You've seen how she treats Naruto as if he's the lowest of scum and how she fawns over the brooding Uchiha brat. I just wished Naruto would see that.'

["Eventually he'll see she's not a proper mate for him. Just wait and be patient. Now pay attention, you're sensei is answering her question."] Raiden grumbled, but listen to the wolf demon.

"Well, I can't tell you what you might get tested on until a month prior to the test, but I can tell what you might be asked to perform. You may be asked to show your kunai and shuriken proficiency and accuracy at different distances; or maybe asked to perform a basic Bukijutsu, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or dispelling Genjutsu. Does that answer your question, Haruno-san?"

Sakura nodded and wrote everything down so she doesn't forget.

"Any more questions, no, alright. Why don't we get to know each other better? Just state your name, age, status, and one fact about yourself. I'll start. I'm Umino Iruka, from the Umino clan. I'm currently 25 years old and I like reading on my free time." He gave a small smile and pick on Sakura.

Sakura blushed lightly and played with her long pink hair coyly, "Umm, I'm Haruno Sakura. My parents are both civilians and are head librarians of our village library. I'm ten years old and I love. . ." She stared at Sasuke and giggled madly, her cheeks heat up thinking about the Uchiha heir.

Iruka sweat-dropped heavily, pointing at another student seeing as Sakura isn't going to stop batting her eyes at Sasuke anytime soon. He pitied the Uchiha and Senju heir; he knew how vicious and terrifying fangirls could be, he shivered mentally.

A tall boy with a bowl haircut wearing a skintight green spandex suit and extremely bushy eyebrows stands up and salutes Iruka overzealously.

Raiden marvels at the bushiness of the boy's eyebrows, they look like two fuzzy caterpillars decided to crawl on his face and make residence where his eyebrows would've been.

'They look so warm. Do you think they're warm, Matsu?' Raiden marveled for their bushiness for a moment before he asked Matsu quietly.

["Err, I wouldn't get too close to them, cub. They look like they make attack you if you get too close."] Matsu warned, looking at the boy warily, as if he's waiting for the boy's eyebrows to get up and move.

Raiden hummed. 'Yeah, plus he's wearing a skin tight, green spandex suit with oranges leg warmers. Who in their right mind would wear spandex!?'

[" I don't have a clue, cub. But quite down and listen."]

"I'm Rock Lee, Yosh! I'm twelve years old, and I'm an orphan!" The boy gave a huge, eye blinding smile and sat back right down. Everyone cringed slightly at the boy's enthusiasm and skin tight spandex he wore.

The classroom remained silent until a brunette haired girl with two hair buns on her head stood up. She was wearing a traditional Chinese dress. She, unlike the other girls in the room, wasn't gawking at Sasuke and that made Raiden like her a bit.

"I'm Tenten. My parents aren't ninjas but the village's top weapon suppliers and weapon smith in town. I'm ten years old and I wish to become a weapon mistress." Raiden was impressed, she already knew what she wanted to be; perhaps she was influenced by her parents jobs, but it's still impressive.

The next person to stand up was a long haired brunette whose hair reached his lower back and was held by a ponytail. He had glazed, violet eyes with no pupil typical of those clan members of the Hyuuga clan. He wore a long sleeve, billowy white shirt, brown pants and black opened toed boots

While he is the perfect Hyuuga heir to many of his clan members, he wasn't part of the main family branch and couldn't become the next head as he wished to. Instead, he was destined to be nothing else but another 'slave' to the clan and wore the cage bird seal as a sign of his failure... He held extreme resent towards the main branch and belittled Hinata, who was his cousin, every moment he could.

It was because of him, he met a crying Hinata lost in the training fields during the summer and because of that grew extremely close to each other. Hinata would often come to him whenever it became too much for her to bear, he'll listen to what she had to say and offer his advice.

He has been working hard to improve Hinata's self-worth and self-esteem, which was nonexistent. He's made some improvement with her, but with her father and cousin belittling her it isn't enough.

Raiden let out a tiny growl at the Hyuuga boy and narrowed his yes at him.

"I'm Hyuuga Neji from the Hyuuga clan. I'm eleven years old and I'm destined to become the worthy heir of my clan." He shot a dark glare at Hinata who flinched back into her seat at his dark tone and lowered her head ashamed by what he meant.

Everyone in the classroom felt uncomfortable and shifted in their seats from the sudden influx of tension in the room. Thankfully, another person stood up and laughed awkwardly scratching the back of his head and petted the puppy who laid on his messy brown hair, sleeping peacefully unaware of the tension in the room

The boy wore a gray colored jacket with a black fur lined hood over his black shirt. He had a pair of black pants and a typical pair of blue opened toed shoes. He had a peculiar facial tattoo, which resemble two red fangs, one on each cheek symbolizing his initiation into his clan. His pupils were similar to Raiden own slit-pupils and both of them had extra sharp canines, completing their animalistic look.

Raiden recognized the dog loving boy. They got along with each other and their love for canines certainly did help to cement their friendship. While Raiden preferred wolves over dogs, the Inuzukas' preferred dogs as his clan specialize in breeding dog-nin as animals' companions to fight alongside with.

Just like Raiden, the Inuzuka had enhanced senses which were the reasons they were the best trackers in the villages for their sharp noses and ears.

"Hehehe, I'm Inuzuka Kiba and this is my partner, Akamaru. I'm from the Inuzuka clan and I'm eleven years old. I enjoy playing and training with Akamaru when I can." He softly petted his dog before he sat down.

Yamanaka heiress stood up flicking her long blonde hair away from her face. She gave a flirtatious sly smile to Sasuke and batted her pretty blue eyes. Sakura noticed what she did and fumed inwardly. She was definitely going to give her a piece of her mind later.

Raiden sat there watching the pissing match between both girls were having and was unimpressed. He honestly didn't know what either girl saw in the brooding boy. Perhaps it was his whole traumatic past, his brooding and hating life air he had around him, or his vampiric look that made most girls fawn and swoon his way. Either way, he rather have Sasuke deal with all the fangirls.

"I'm Yamanaka Ino from the Yamanaka clan. I'm ten years old and I love tending to flowers as well others things." She giggles softly as heat move up her cheeks as he stared at ebony haired boy, with a final glance towards Sasuke she sat down hiding her flustered face.

The Nara heir gave out a loud exhausted sigh as he ignored the blonde girl next to him; clearly, he was tired of the girls who were blushing every time they glanced at Sasuke. He doesn't understand girls, they are just weird sometime.

He gave out a bored look, "how troublesome." He muttered under his breathe. "I'm Nara Shikamaru from the Nara clan. I'm ten years old and enjoying taking a nice long nap under a tree." He sighed before he closed his eyes as he waited for the next person.

A chubby boy with messy light auburn hair stood up and stopped munching on a bag of chips. He swiped the crumbs off his face with his arm sleeve. The Akimichi heir wore a green jacket over a white shirt with the Akimichi insignia on the front. He had a long white scarf wrap once around his neck. Unlike the rest of the students in the classroom, he had a pair of beige shorts instead of pants which everyone wore. "I'm Akimichi Chouji from the Akimichi clan. I'm ten years old and love Barbeque!" The chubby boy sat down and started eating his chips again.

If there was something Raiden learned by watching was, never call an Akimichi fat and never ever get in the middle of an Akimichi and their food.

Raiden saw Hinata stand up slowly and she looked down at her fingers as if they were the most interesting thing in the room. The shy Hyuuga heiress looked up and saw Raiden giving her a comforting smile to go on. She took a deep breath and steeled herself.

"I-I'm H-Hyuuga Hinata from the H-Hyuuga clan. I'm t-ten years old and I like cooking." She stuttered turning beet red. She sat back down and hide her face in her arms. Raiden smiled fondly, proud she didn't stuttered as much as she used it. It certainly was an improvement, he mused over.

Next to Hinata; a tall, dark haired boy stood with black shades covering his eyes. He wore a long sleeve grey jacket that came up to his nose, completely covering his lower face. The quite Aburame heir was quite strange, but it was mainly due to the fact that the Aburame clan tended to keep to themselves and they were living host to their kikaichuu beetles as soon as they were couple months old.

It made him shiver slightly that they were willingly allowing live beetles incubated their body and were constantly moving in, out, and around their bodies. He did find it kind of cool in a completely creepy kind of way.

"I'm Aburame Shino from the Aburame clan. I'm ten years old and I enjoying collecting insects." The Aburame heir said quietly, however inside his mind he was laughing hysterically.

'Just you all wait. Once I take over the world, you shall all bow down to my feet and will become my slaves. . . Soon. . .'

Raiden felt a disturbance in the force but ignored it as Naruto stood up and gave a bright smile.

He didn't know why the blonde decided to wear the ugly and incredibly florescent orange jumpsuit. At least the goggles he got him kind of matched, that was a plus. He was definitely going to have a talk with about his precious orange jumpsuit later, it was too conspicuous and eye catching for practical use. It was almost as he had a neon sign over his head telling everyone to look at him.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, Dattebayo! I'm nine years old turning ten in couple of months and I love ramen!" He exclaimed loudly making Raiden and Kiba cringe thanks to their sensitive hearing. He received couple of sneers and dark glares thrown at him by various civilian children making him flinch slightly, Naruto noticed the snickers and whispers some of the children were having between each other, he keep on smiling ignoring the harsh names he heard. He felt Raiden give him a comforting squeeze on his shoulder as he sat down.

Raiden glared darkly at the civilian children and shut him up completely and smirked satisficed by their immediate reaction. Many of them were pranked heavily by him and knew how vicious he could be if he wished. They all knew better to mess with him.

He wore a black jacket with two red stripes running down on each sleeve and the Konoha insignia on the back. Underneath his jacket he wore a form fitting, black mesh shirt which was reinforced by chakra links to provided extra protection. Around his neck, he wore black quartz necklace Naruto gave him on his birthday and had his hands wrapped in white bandages similar to Rock Lee's but only covering up to his wrists on both hands. He had a pair of grey pants and navy blue, opened toed boots.

"I'm Senju-Potter Raiden from the Senju clan. I'm eight years old and I hate those who enjoy bullying others" His voice turned icy cold and many civilian children shivered as his dark voice echoed through the room, promising nothing but nasty revenge. He smirked, showing off his sharp canines before he sat down. He may or may have not growled scaring the boys sitting in front of him.

As he sat down, he Uchiha heir snorted at him and sneered. Raiden snorted at his attempt to intimidate him, it was a feeble attempt at best.

The Uchiha stood up and flicked his ebony hair out of his face. His black obsidian eyes narrowed slightly at Raiden, showing his dislike towards the Senju heir publicly. Sasuke hated Raiden because his father approved of Raiden and acknowledge him, whereas he couldn't even get his father to look at him or have a moment of his time.

He paused dramatically making the fan-girls blushing and swoon over him at his dramatic pause.

"I'm. . . Uchiha Sasuke. . . from the mighty, Uchiha clan. I'm eleven years old and I hate everything." He stated pompously, puffing his chest out trying to make himself look bigger than he was.

Raiden snorted, ' typically brooding bastard. I swear if I end up in the same team as him I'll freaking kill him. He's such an ungrateful, idiotic, jealous brat who's obsessed with getting revenge ever since his brother killed of his clan. Sure it was rather tragic, but it's no use if he's working on getting vengeance. He's a ticking time bomb.'

["I don't like the brat either. It's clear he was smothered by his mother and his father probably wished he was like his brother, who was a true prodigy. It's clear he resents his brother and will not stop until he kills him, if he can. He doesn't like you either because his father liked you over him.

It's his own hatred that's fueling him, and as an Uchiha, it's amplified thanks to their Sharingan. Better watch out, cub. He could be dangerous and highly volatile."]


September 13th, 1988, 12:00 noon

Iruka's Classroom, Konohagakure no Sato, Hi no Kuni

"Alright guys, we're having a 30 minute lunch break before he continue with the history lesson. Makes sure to eat and go to the bathroom before the bell rings!" Iruka exclaimed as his students grab their lunches and ran out.

"Come on Rai! Let's go!" Naruto pulled Raiden by his hand leads him towards his favorite spot.

They approach a tall oak tree with plenty of shade for them and they sit down. Naruto rubbed this hands together as Raiden uncovers their bento boxes he made for them which consisted of white steamed rice, octopus shaped sausages with sesame faces that Naruto demanded. He also made three onigiri with a plum filling and teriyaki chicken with glazed carrots.

"Itadakimasu!" Naruto exclaimed happily before he tuck into the delicious food Raiden made.

Raiden watched mildly assumed as Naruto stuffed his face with rice, puffing his cheeks making him look like a chipmunk storing nuts for winter.

He looked down at his bento and started eating at his own slow pace. Halfway through his meal he heard the muffled footsteps approaching them. He glanced up and saw Hinata coming closer with a weak smile on her face and red faced. "H-hi R-Raiden-kun. . . N-N-Naruto-kun. . . May I sit with you?" Hinata blushed brightly, she playing with her fingers instead of looking at them.

"What have I told you about dropped the honorifics, Hinata, we're friends now. There's no need for them and of course you can join us." He chided the shy girl making her smile softly as he called her a friend. She was glad Raiden was her friend. She knew the raven haired boy would always be there if she needed someone to talk to with and offer advice.

"O-okay," She said timidly, sitting next to Raiden before he opened her own bento.

"Rai is right Hinata. You're our friend and don't let anyone tell you different." Naruto added gleefully, giving Hinata a happy grin before he went back to his food.

Hinata went from light pink to bright red, looking more like a tomato as Naruto grinned at her. She meeped and looked away. Raiden chuckled at the purpled haired girl, he knew of her crush on

Naruto. It was rather obvious and oddly, it didn't bother him.

[Hmm, aren't you going to get jealous of her? It's clear she has a huge crush on your blonde."] Matsu asked his host, curiously.

'He's not my blonde. . . Well not yet anyways. Should he grow up and realize he likes her instead of me, we'll it's his choice. As long as he's happy I'll be happy. Plus, Hinata genuinely likes him and I'm sure they'll be fine. I just don't want him falling for someone who's not right for him.' He shrugged mentally.

Matsu stares at the boy speechlessly. He sighs, ["sometimes. . . I don't see you as the eight year old boy you are; you act, talk, and behave much older than you actually are."] Matsu stated ruefully at his host.

Raiden sighed, 'I know that. I don't feel my age and get angry when people treat me like a child. I had to grow up beyond my years because if I haven't, I would've suffered more and who knows how my life wouldn't turn out if I didn't have you with me. My so called family hated me because I'm a wizard, and they weren't going to show me love that I desperately craved until you woke up and guided me. You became my parent, my brother, my mentor, and most importantly a friend whom I love deeply and care for. I work my ass off learning everything I can because I want to make you proud and to prove to myself I can do this on my own. '

Matsu stared at the little boy, whom he sees as a little brother, with awe and love radiating from his pores and transforms into his human form. Instead of an enormous demon wolf with ten tails swishing behind him, stood a burly man with golden amber eyes and platinum silver hair with black highlights. He towered over Harry's own 4"9' height by at least three feet, stand at a mighty 7"9'.

His body was heavily muscled resembling the physique of a Greek god or a true warrior who knew his way on a battlefield wielding a broadsword or a battle-axe as his preferred weapon. Raiden could see couple battle scars marring his olive colored skin around his meaty neck and accented collarbones he had two bite marks that resembled a wound of a vaguely large canine, perhaps another wolf demon. Alongside his left shoulder and running down his arm, he has a large straight scar that came from a sharp sword.

Matsu smiled and pulled Raiden into his strong embrace. The raven haired boy sighed burying his face into Matsu's broad chest, inhaling the familiar earthy scent that only Matsu had that reminded him of a strong thunderstorm, and morning dew.

[Cub, no matter what you do I'll always be proud of you. As long as you stay true to yourself and do what you believe in, I'll be right next to you helping you however I can. You're like my little brother who's stubborn as a mule but cunning like a snake and wise as a raven. You're as brave as a lion and protective like a badger den mother. You're as powerful as a dragon and deadly as a wolf."] He smirked handsomely, showing off his sharp fangs.

['You'll have your share of bad days and experience the worst of humanity. You'll face death, lots of death and it'll be painful when you lose a loved one, but you'll get through it. You'll make mistakes, but you'll learn from them and grow to become greater; plus, you're quite terrifying when you're angry and if you add your killer intent you'll give your enemies nightmares."] He ran his fingers through Raiden messy hair, ["Just don't grow up so fast and enjoy your youth."] He whispered softly.

'I know. . . I know. . .' Raiden mumbled. 'Hey Matsu, do you think you could suppress my chakra by half?'

Matsu raised an eyebrow by the sudden question Raiden asked. ["Why would you want to do that, cub?"]

'Well, I've been thinking. . .' He paused when he hears Matsu snickering.

["This can't be good."] Matsu interrupted him, earning a punch from Raiden.

'Oi, not all of my ideas create chaos. . . Well, mostly,' Matsu huffed, but he ignored the demon wolf. 'Anyways, as I was saying before you interrupted me. I've been thinking, if I were to suppress at least 50% or 75% of my chakra I would not only increase my reserves but I'll also hide my reserves from others.'

Matsu hummed. ["Hmmm, I could suppress your chakra if you're sure about this, but it'll make it a lot harder for you to transition from you're full reserves to half or three-quarters of your reserves. Are you sure, cub?"] He asked.

Raiden nodded 'yeah, I'm sure.'

["I'll right, we're doing it tonight. It's going to hurt and it'll be extremely uncomfortable for couple of weeks."]

'It's fine.'

["If you say so. . . You should return. Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba are freaking out and the puppy is trying to wake you up."]

'Alright, see you later Matsu.'

When Raiden opened his eyes he saw the concern looks of his friends staring at him with worry.

Naruto especially, was freaking out. He felt Akamaru's rough tongue licking his left cheek covering him in dog slobber, the white furred dog barked happily as Raiden scratched behind his ears and curled onto his lap enjoying the petting and attention he was receiving from his raven haired friend.

Raiden chuckled. "Sure, make yourself at home you don't you?" He said to the dog lying on his lap. Akamaru barked lazily and Raiden snorted interpreting what Akamaru said as: 'just keep scratching and let me sleep.' Raiden snorted, but keeps petting the dog.

"What the heck just happened? Just seconds ago you were frozen in place and nothing we did woke you up.!?" Naruto exclaimed loudly waving his arms frantically in the air to prove his point.

Akamaru whined, he turn to look at the loud blonde and barked at him for interrupting his nap he was about to take on his favorite human's lap. Laughing sheepishly, Raiden scratched the back of his head, "Umm, sorry for worrying you guys but I'm fine. I kind of fell into a meditative trance… Hehehe. "

Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba look at him completely deadpanned by what he said, who in there right might would accidentally fall into a deep meditative state out of nowhere?

"Oh, hey there Kiba;" he acknowledged the brunette. "When did you get here?" Raiden questioned as he continued to pet the now sleeping dog on his lap.

Kiba looked as his dog made himself right at home on Raiden's lap. He wasn't surprised anymore, after all Raiden had a way with dogs which would make an Inuzuka jealous.

"Couple minutes ago. Naruto came running and dragged me to see if I could wake you up. When I arrived Hinata was freaking out slapping you across the face. It's was freaking hilarious!" The

Inuzuka heir laughed hysterically while Hinata was dying of mortification.

The Hyuuga heiress glanced away, wanting nothing else but to disappear and not been seen by anyone; especially, by Raiden.

"Whoa, you pack quite a punch Hinata." He said jokingly as he rubbed his sore cheek gently.

Hinata blushed, "s-sorry R-Raiden. I-I d-didn't mean t-to hit y-you hard."

"It's okay, it my fault for scaring you both." He shrugged. "Anyways, we should get going. The bell should be ringing soon." As of cue, the bell rang alerting everyone it was time to go back in.

The quartet packed away their lunches

Gently, Raiden passed the sleeping puppy to Kiba who happy placed him inside the hood of his jacket. The quartet walked into their classroom and sat in their previous seat. Naruto and Raiden sat next to each other in the middle row of the room; whereas, Kiba and Hinata sat two rows behind Naruto and Raiden.

As the rest of the students were taking their seats, Iruka walked towards the chalkboard carrying a textbook. He wrote out couple of different dates of significant events which have affected Konoha.

Raiden recognized the dates thanks to Matsu drilling the history of Konoha as well as the history of the Elemental Lands.

"Okay, can anyone identify and explain the significance of any of these dates?"


September 13th, 1988, 4:30 pm

Naruto's Apartment, Konohagakure no Sato, Hi no Kuni

"Alas, Home sweet Home!" Exclaimed the blonde as he dumped his satchel by the door and proceed to throw himself on the couch and closed his eyes. His green eyed companion shook his head at the blonde. He picked up the blonde's satchel and placed it on the coffee table. He picked up the blonde's feet and sat down on the couch before he placed the blonde's feet on his lap.

"What do you think about Iruka-sensei?" The blonde asked his friend, still closing his eyes.

Raiden hummed thoughtfully, "hmm well," he began. "He's rather young, but it's clear to anyone he enjoys teaching others and genuinely wants us to learn. He's a true caregiver, and fair. He's not going to be biased because you say how he put Sasuke in his placed when he spoke out of term, but insulted my clan and by self. It's about time the Uchiha bastard learns that he isn't the best and that just because he's an Uchiha it'll mean everyone will bow down to him." He said smirking remembering the bewildered and astonished face Sasuke had when Iruka reprimand him.

Naruto snorted, "I can't believe the teme and the nerve to insult you. Didn't he declare you his enemy?" The blonde asked curious about the ramification of Sasuke's actions towards another prestigious clan.

Raiden sighed, "not exactly. If he would've physically attacked with the intention of harming me, he would not only declared me his enemy, but I'll be able to declare a retribution match where both would fight until the other one gives up or death. The loser of the match would have to do anything the winner wishes, within reason of course. It's a serious crime to attack another clan member especially the heirs or anyone from main branch. Fortunately, Sasuke just insulted my clan and me. All he had to do is apologize and I gave him a warning this time." He explained to the blonde.

Naruto scrunched up his nose, "thank Kami I don't have to worry about clan politics." He stated looking nonchalantly at the ceiling. Raiden tensed up.

He shot him a questionable look at the blonde debating whether or not should he tell Naruto about his heritage. The Uzumakis' were a feared clan before they were completely wiped including their country and village.

Shaking his head, Raiden decided to tell him or at least what he knew which was very little to begin with, but if he was in Naruto's position he'll appreciate any information he could get.

"Umm, Naru… You're actually part of a clan. . . Either or mother or father was a member of the Uzumaki clan who's from Uzushiogakure no Sato. The Uzumaki clan was a powerful clan. They were masters in Fuuinjutsu and had huge chakra reserves. They were able to make chakra weapons which help them infuse their chakra to their weapons or armor. . ."

Naruto stiffen up, "you mean to tell me that one of my parents was from an actual clan from another village?" He asked quietly.

Raiden sighed. "Yes Naru. At least one of your parents was from the Uzumaki clan, but unfortunately your village and your clan was wiped out by Iwa, Kumo, and Kusa, I believe, because they feared them. From what I understand, Konoha came to Uzushio aid, but they were too late. The village was in flames and almost all its citizens were dead or were lucky to escape. You are the only known Uzumaki to be alive, those who survived are scattered around the Elemental Lands and most likely change their names. In fact, the Konoha's red spiral used by our Shinobi flak jackets and hitai-ate: is your family crest. The Shodaime used it as a symbol of friendship by our clans when he became the Hokage. I'm sorry Naru…" He said softly, as he told Naruto a little of his family history.

Naruto didn't know how to react to the revelation of his heritage. He has never thought that he was even from any clan; he thought he was just a civilian not a clan member. But seeing as his clan is from another village and wiped out he guessed he didn't have much power within Konoha.

Unconsciously, he sat up and rested his head against Raiden's chest listening to his steady heartbeat and purring quietly as Raiden ran his hand through his hair. He sighed nonchalantly,

"Rai, It's not your fault; at least you told me something from my heritage which I've never heard. All I remember was a beautiful woman with bright red hair and green eyes. Not as pretty as yours but still pretty. She had a kind smile and she loved me." He smiled fondly.

"You think my eyes a pretty?" Naruto blushed, he was thankful Raiden couldn't see him. "Err. . . Kind of. . . I've never seen such bright green eyes on anyone. They're much prettier than Sakura-chan's eyes."

Inwardly, Raiden puffed out his chest looking completely smug. Raiden chuckled, "why thank you Naru, but you're eyes are prettier. They're so blue they look like sapphires." Naruto blushed fiercely, not used to receiving compliments from anyone.

Not wanting to embarrass the blonde any further, he said. "You know, if you remember your mom with bright red hair then she's from the Uzumaki clan. The Uzumaki were known for their fiery red hair and pale skin and green eyes. . . My grandfather, Senju Hashirama, actually married an Uzumaki, Mito Uzumaki, making the Senju and Uzumaki unite as cousin branch. And I remember by mother having red hair and green eyes as well. So technically we're distantly related so to speak, but not directly. Your blonde hair and blue eyes must be from your father side, just like my black hair came from my dad side."

Naruto buried his face into his lap smiling softly. Something within Naruto's chest tingled, warming up his chest as he rested his face on Raiden chest. He felt two arms wrap around him tightly. He snuggled into Raiden's chest and let out a content sigh. He felt Raiden's chest move up and down as he chuckled.

"Getting comfortable there little lion?"

Naruto grunted, "Shhh, sleepy. . ."

Raiden looked down at the blonde smiling fondly at him. He sighed, "Alright. A small nap wouldn't hurt. . . Sleep tight, little lion."

"Mmmm, night. . . Shadow" Naruto said sleepy. His eyes drooped heavily as sleep overcame him.

He inhaled Raiden's earthy scent of pine needle, lavender, and morning dew; before he fell into deep sleep.

'Things will be better. . . As long as I have Raiden with me. . .' Naruto thought to himself.
