Chapter Eight: Four Years Later
January 28th, 1992
Hokage's Monument, Konohagakure, Hi no Kuni
It's been four long years since Naruto and Raiden started training together in secret with the aid of couple willing Shinobi who've were impressed with the boy's dedication. Of course they never revealed their true identities as they're ANBU operatives, but Raiden knew two of the four ANBU operative: Inu, who was obviously Hatake Kakashi and Kuma, who was Yamato Tenzou.
The other two operatives, he didn't personally know but Naruto certainly did were a man and a woman. The woman was called Neko, she had light purple hair. She wore a cat mask, hence her name Neko.
Neko was fond of Naruto because she was one of his guards and used to read to him, and sometimes play with him when nobody was looking; it's because of that close relationship they shared, she took him under her wing, so to speak. She mainly worked with him when she had time not that Raiden mind.
The fourth mentor wasn't exactly an ANBU operative; he was a Tobetsu Jounin, whom decided to teach them on a whim. He was average sized man with shoulder length brown hair. He wore a wolf mask and took Raiden under his wing after witnessing Raiden's raw potential with swords.
The four ANBU operatives were downright slave drivers to the extreme, and would usually have the boys dead on their feet and exhausted after their training. Whenever they couldn't be there to train them personally; they would leave them a note of what they expected them to accomplished, and the four ANBU had an uncanny sixth sense which would let them know if Naruto and Raiden did what they had to do or not. Naruto found it highly creepy and it freaked him out; especially, when one of them would appear out of nowhere to reprimand him and increase his workload.
Raiden, however, knew exactly how they manage to accomplish their nifty trick. It was because of Yamato's Mokuton. Yamato would plant couple of seeds into the trees surrounding them and would like a camera, per say, although it was technically a clone. If the boys were slacking off or were doing their exercise wrong, the seed would literally transform into the man and would correct them or scold them if they were goofing off.
Their training started at 4:00 am, before the sun raised over the village and lasted three and a half hours, four times a week. Their session usually ended within thirty minutes before they had to go to the Academy, giving them enough time to take a quick shower and grab something to eat before they rushed to the Academy just in time for Iruka's lectures.
Their hectic morning training sessions rendered the boys were sluggish during school time and often they would snooze off until Iruka would throw a piece of chalk at them, irritated whenever they would fall asleep and ask them questions related to the lecture of the day. However, the boys would answer the question or questions correctly before falling asleep again which only made Iruka fume slightly. At least they knew that they at least know judging by their grades as they aced their tests and quizzes, much to Iruka's surprise.
As the result of their training, the boys learned a lot over the four years in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and surprisingly Genjutsu as well. They also learned weaponry and expanding their chakra control.
Their Taijutsu was far superior to any other Academy student in their year, with the exception of Rock Lee, Hyuuga Neji, and Uchiha Sasuke. Any other student, they could easily take down in a Taijutsu spar. Out of the two of them, Naruto proved to be the best in Taijutsu, thanks to his style of his clan's style. Naruto's style was based on his agility, reflexes, and most importantly his speed. Thanks to Naruto's lithe and smaller stature; much to the blonde's dismay, he was perfect to utilize the Uzumaki's fighting technique which was highly dependent on speed rather than power. The Uzumaki style was a defensive style which blocked and deflected their opponent punches or kicks; until they see an opening and strike fast, much like a cobra, to deliver a power blow and incapacitate their opponents weak points.
It only helped that Naruto's style was designed to trick his opponents by feigning mock punches or kicks and then quickly change directions to deliver his attacks. Overall, Naruto style was highly effective and looked as if it was a graceful dance rather than fighting, but looks were deceiving.
Raiden's Taijutsu style was the complete opposite from Naruto's, his style depended more on power than speed, where he lacked his speed he made it up with power. He delivered stronger attacks to take down his opponents with his raw strength and thanks to him being a Jinjuuriki; he had abnormal strength for his age.
The other reason Raiden was slower than Naruto was because Matsu placed couple of gravity seals on his legs and arms which weighted him down by 50lbs on each limb, and a set of chakra suppressor seals which cut Raiden's chakra reserves by 50% which Matsu approved. Raiden wanted to train his body to the best of his ability because of the future he had. He wanted to make sure he was ready for anything.
The pair discovered their nature affinities, which Raiden already knew thanks to his previous training with Kakashi which affinities he had: fire, lighting and air, with the additional of wood and plant. Naruto, on the other hand, discovered he had fire, air, and surprisingly earth nature affinities.
While both boys showed promised in Ninjutsu, but it was Raiden who proved he was the better Ninjutsu user out of the pair mainly because of his perfect chakra control and natural talent in Ninjutsu, which made it easier for him to pick up new techniques. Not to mention, he has two trump cards which he's highly efficient in using, his Mokuton is just as good as Yamato's in couple of years, but still impressive considering his age. And his Souton is absolutely beautiful to witness but highly dangerous. Aside from his Mokuton and Souton; Raiden's Katon and Raiton are impressive on their own but he hadn't mastered them. His Katon is just as powerful as an Uchiha's and he has been trying to mimic some of The Uchiha's famous Jutsus. However, his Fuuton was truly lacking due to the lack of Fuuton users in Konoha.
Naruto also showed promise in Ninjutsu, but his chakra control is simply horrendous, if not completely non-existent. However, with a year and a half of chakra training exercises he has learned better control. He isn't at Raiden's level yet, but he'll get there eventually.
If there's a single jutsu in which both of them suffered with, it was the dreaded Bunshin no jutsu. The sole reason Naruto had to repeat four years' worth of school since he couldn't perform a single usable Bushin.
Their four mentors gave them the tools necessary to accomplish the jutsu but didn't teach them how it worked; but, neither of them could perform a single Bunshin due to their vast chakra reserves. It wasn't until Raiden asked Matsu to suppress 75% of his chakra that he was able make a single Bushin which didn't appeared to look dead.
Raiden figured out that the reason they couldn't perform a single Bushin before was because each time they tried to make a Bushin they used too much chakra and the clone couldn't handle the excessive chakra. Matsu congratulated Raiden for finally discovering the reason why they always failed and showed him how to make shadow clones instead of regular clones. Thus, learning Kage Bunshin and Tajuu Kage Bunshin, which Raiden made at least one hundred shadow clones.
He also discovered how useful shadow clones were and how to use them to his advantage. Whatever the shadow clones saw, heard, tasted, smelled, touched, or learned: it got assimilated into his brain after he reabsorbed their memories. Matsu warned him the dangers of the Jutsu and how to avoid any pain or stress from the jutsu.
After he learned the jutsu, he taught Naruto. The blonde was over the moon, he was finally able to make a single clone and was ready to take the graduation exam knowing he'll be graduating and become a Genin. However, Raiden failed to tell Naruto about the Kage Bunshin's secret, because he thought Naruto would pick it up eventually and didn't want to spoil the surprise.
Genjutsu wise, both boys struggled with creating complicated illusions; more so, Naruto than Raiden. The blonde was absolutely abysmal when it came to Genjutsu; however he learned to identify, break, and cast lower level Genjutsu. Raiden wasn't much better, but with his Occumeny skills and Matsu's aid, he was practically resistant to low-mid level, Genjutsus. He, himself could cast mid-level Genjutsus, but to wore him out, a lot and couldn't hold for more than an hour or so.
Both boys were taught basic medical jutsus every Shinobi should learn for any kind of situation; as well as couple Fuuinjutsu which could be useful in their mission. Inu, Kuma, Neko, and Okami were amazed by the natural affinity both boys showed in the sealing arts; especially, Naruto's raw talent in Fuuinjutsu. They were sure both boys could become Fuuinjutsu Masters someday if they wished.
When it came to weaponry, Okami was the one in charge of training Raiden; while Neko trained Naruto. Okami trained Raiden with different weapons, mainly consisting of swords and chained scythe, but also silent weapons such as senbon needles, poisoned blow darts, and surprisingly a long bow. With Raiden's perfect eye sight and deadly precision, he took the archery like a duckling to water; but his raw talent lay in swords: which was the reason Okami took him under his wing in the first place.
Neko took Naruto under her wing and taught him weapons which would suit him; such as, senbon needles, weighted chains, Bō staves, and tessen. Naruto particularly liked to use tessen and his mother's chakra chains.
In the end, Raiden had two custom weapons made for him especially for him, a katana with a four foot blade with a one and a half foot hilt. The blade was relatively thin yet there was no question it was a powerful and sharp blade, it even had a seal on the blade's base to prevent it from breaking. The katana was also made to channel both air and lighting based techniques to strengthen his attacks, but also to defend him from attacks. He kept his katana sealed inside a scroll which he carried in his pockets at all times.
His second custom made weapon was a four and a half foot tall kusari-gama with a two foot curved blade and a four foot chain with a weight in the end. The handle of chained scythe was made out of a strong and sturdy brown wood, which Raiden recognized as mahogany with a mix of walnut in it. The handle had beautiful craved lightning bolts on its base. He carried his kusari-gama inside the same scroll where he had his katana stored in.
Naruto, also, received two custom weapons made for him. His first weapon was a pair of metal tessen, the twin metal war fans were beautifully crafted and small enough to conceal within his sleeves. The first tessen was painted black with light absorbing paint with a golden wolf howling in the front, in honor of Raiden. The second tessen was painted in white; it had a smirking fox painted in blood red in the front. On the metal frame of each fan there was the kanji for 'air' and 'fire' on the first and second fan, respectively. Naruto could use his tessen to strengthen his wind based techniques, and also defensively in hand-to-hand weapons, if needed.
The second weapon he had custom made was a five foot tall Bō staff made out of a strong and sturdy mahogany wood and cherry wood Raiden provided to the weapon Master, the wood was infused with Raiden's own chakra to not only strengthen the wood, but also to made it near unbreakable. He had his Bō staff sealed within a scroll he carried in his many pockets.
While both Naruto and Raiden weren't masters in their respective weapons, they were proficient. They knew how to use them efficiently and improved as they trained with them.
One thing which their mentors insisted on was a change of wardrobe. Naruto refused at first, but after his favorite array of orange jumpsuits were mysteriously burned into ashes, he had no choice but conform to the new change.
Naruto's new outfit consist of black pants with an abnormal amount of pockets for Naruto to conceal weapons, scrolls and other miscellaneous stuff, he wore dark blue sandals, and a pine green, short-sleeve shirt with Konoha's famous red spiral on his back, and a pair of fingerless gloves. To finish off his outfit, Naruto wore a long-sleeved dark green jacket with a blue spiral on his back. He wore his weapon pouch on his right thigh with white bandages holding it in place. Finally he wore the red tinted black goggles with pride; the same one's Raiden gave to him four years ago.
Even though Naruto's appearance changes drastically and his skills improved, he was the same old Uzumaki Naruto everyone knew. His prank loving tendencies never seized to exist and his unquenchable love for ramen remained. He has also manage to drop his 'mask' he wore over time and showed his true colors; impressing and infuriating countless people, especially one Uchiha Sasuke, who has seen how much Naruto has changed.
Raiden was glad for Naruto, as were all of their mentors; but unfortunately, Naruto's crush on Sakura never seized to exist. Sasuke of course, never acknowledge it and kept calling him an idiot. Raiden hoped Naruto realized how wrong Sakura was for him, but he never told the blonde how he felt for him.
He cursed himself for falling for his best friend, and the blonde was to oblivious to notice Raiden's feelings for him, and finally reaching his teenage year in couple of months wouldn't help, the twelve year old was going to be running high on hormones in just a few years.
Raiden has gained five inches, making him stand at 5'1 exactly, three and a half inches taller than Naruto. He has lost all of his baby fat and started to gain more muscle mass thanks to all of his hard training.
His outfit has also changed, but not as drastically as Naruto's outfit. Raiden now wore ANBU style grey pants, black skin-tight shirt with a fish net short sleeved shirt underneath, and black toe-less combat boots. He wrapped up both hands with bandage up to his elbows which acted as weights. To finish his outfit, Raiden wore a long sleeved dark blue trench coat with sliver lines around the zipper, collar, and edges of the sleeves. The Konoha's famous spiral was sewn to the back of the trench coat. His weapon pouch was attached to his right thigh with a black bandages wrapped around it. Raiden also wore a pair of blue tinted black goggles similar to the ones he gave to Naruto.
January 28th, 1992, 12:00 Noon
Hokage's Monument, Konohagakure, Hi no Kuni
It was a tranquil Sunday's morning in Konohagakure, the duo was sitting on top the Fourth's Hokage's head overlooking the whole village. The sun was just starting to rise from the horizon and they sat in silence, enjoying their day off from training and thinking over their graduation exam they'll be taking tomorrow. They were both extremely excited to receive their official headband and start their Shinobi career.
Naruto sighed peacefully, thinking of all of the changes he's gone through thanks to Raiden. He couldn't believe just how much the younger boy has changed his life for the better. He wondered what would've happened if Raiden never came into his life that fateful day.
He wondered if he'll even become a Shinobi if Raiden didn't teach him the Kage Bushin. It was that sole technique which haunted him for years and forced him to repeat.
Unconsciously, he leaned towards Raiden's taller frame and rested his head against Raiden shoulder. He smiled softly as he inhaled Raiden's scent which he always loved. It always worked to calm him down and made him feel as if he's right at home whenever Raiden is nearby. He didn't find it fair that Raiden was even taller than him now and more muscled than him as well! It was supposed to be the other way around.
He felt an arm wrap around him bringing him closer to Raiden's side. He got closer to his side and sighed loudly, making Raiden chuckle. "Don't be pouting, Naru. I know you're self-conscious about your height, but there's nobody as fast as you nor nimble as you." Raiden appeased the blonde's height insecurity.
Naruto huffed loudly, puffing out his cheeks resembling a chipmunk. "I wasn't pouting and I'm not self-conscious about my height! It's not my fault all of you are giants." He drawled out, making Raiden laugh.
Raiden rolled his eyes at the blonde. "Whatever you say, kit." He has changed his nickname from cub to kit two years ago, after he pointed out how he resembled a fox more than a lion due to Naruto's trickster's tendencies. Of course, being the vessel for the Kyuubi no Kitsune did played in to his new nickname.
Naruto punched Raiden's shoulder lightly and went back to pouting. Raiden was about to say something but decided not to tell Naruto how cute he look. It would only anger the blonde and they'll spar, which would end with Naruto beating him.
"What do you think we'll have to do tomorrow?" Naruto asked.
Raiden hummed quietly, thinking about the certain clues Iruka has given them for the past month. He mention how useful the Kawarimi no Jutsu was more than a few occasions. He also made everyone show their Henge Jutsu frequently, almost making every one perform it before they start their daily lectures. And Iruka didn't stop going on about the Bushin Jutsu for the past week.
If what Raiden thought was right, then they'll be ask to perform Kawarimi no Jutsu, Henge Jutsu, and a Bunshin: all which they could do perfectly.
"We'll most likely have performed a Kawarimi no Jutsu, Henge Jutsu, and a proper Bunshin."
Naruto nodded. "Well, we're good then. We don't have to worry about nothing right?" He said nonchalantly, feeling confident of tomorrow's exam.
"Yeah, we can." Raiden confirmed, but he couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy about the exam. He didn't know why but he felt as there was somebody trying to sabotage Naruto. He's seen Mizuki acting highly suspicious and doesn't trust him. His gut is telling him Mizuki is up to something which would affect Naruto some way or another.
He pushed his thoughts away and hoped he was wrong. He hoped for Naruto sake, Mizuki didn't do anything too drastic to mess with Naruto's chances. He had been collecting some favors in and been checking on Mizuki for the past few weeks and has found things which worried him.
Just a week ago, Raiden managed to retrieved Mizuki's bank statements, by infiltrating Konoha's bank and impersonating a banker to copy while his clones were busy making a distraction, anyways it was safe to say nobody noticed him and sent a note to the Hokage to add a better security to the bank.
Sarutobi was stumped at the weird note he received from Raiden. He wasn't sure how much less why, but he didn't want to know what Raiden did. He learned at after some time, Raiden was often sending his concerns directly to him if he believed it was warranted or alerted Inu, Kuma, or Neko.
Anyways, as he read through Mizuki's banking statement; he discovered Mizuki received a rather hefty sum added to his account by an unmarked source on three different occasions as well as Mizuki has been slowly taking his money out for some strange reason, he could make anything out of it, but it was highly suspicious. He thought about alerting the Hokage, but figured he should see how it was going to play out. If anything he'll needed all of the evidence he found and made sure to store them in a secured scroll should it ever be needed.
July 28th, 1992 3:00 p.m.
Headmaster's Office, Hogwarts Castle, Scotland
Panic has been brewing within the British magical community when their dearly beloved Savior, Harry James Potter didn't show up at Hogwarts's last year as many were expecting. Many witches and wizards of all ages were demanding one Albus Dumbledore the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic to bring out their chosen one and disclose where the child was; but it was futile; neither man knew where the Boy-Who-Lived was.
Tension has rising each passing day, and many were starting to question Dumbledore as to where he sent the child. It was after all, him who took the child and appeased to everyone he'll be sending him to a place where their Savior would be living happily until he was of age and he'll be reintroduced to the magical community. Dumbledore would even give out a yearly news of their Savior detailing some of stories he fabricated to appease everyone. He made sure to tell everyone how happy the boy was and countless stories, yet, now their Savior is missing.
Of course, Dumbledore never did mention where nor whom he gave the child to, if the public would learn he placed their Savior in a magical hating household, which just happens to be his relative's home where basically paid them get beat the boy and break him down just so he could rescue the boy and mold the him to be his perfect weapon to be used in the war; the public would go ballistic!
And he couldn't have that, could he? He had to think of the greater good and needed a submissive pawn that would do his bidding; until he wasn't needed, that is.
After all, it was preposterous that a mere child, a babe managed to kill off Voldemort! It was supposed to be him, the Great Albus Dumbledore the Defeater of the pervious Dark Lord and lover, Gellert Grindlewald; who was supposed to vanquished Voldemort and shows everyone why he was so great. Many people have forgotten how powerfully he was and he needed to show them why they all needed to look up to him, after all it was the reason he crafted and manipulated one Tom Malvaro Riddle into the fierce Dark Lord he became.
He did; however, never expected Tom to become a thorn to his crown. When he first met the young boy in the orphanage, he knew the boy was powerful; extremely powerful for such a child to wield at such a young age. It was obvious if the boy continued his education he would've become just as strong as him one day, and that couldn't happen. Nobody was stronger than him, and when he discovered the boy was related to the Slytherin family and was a Parselmouth he found his solution. He was going to mold the boy to become a Dark Lord, and it didn't hurt the boy had an affinity to Dark magic.
Years passed and things went exactly as he planned. As soon as he became the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he began to change things in order to make the next generations ignorant to the magical world, especially the half-bloods and muggle-borns. Slowly, he started to remove useful classes in Hogwarts's curriculum, such as: Wizarding Law and Customs, Ancient Languages, Spell Crafting, Dark Arts, Alchemy, Warding, Elemental Arts, Dueling, Introduction to the Magical World, and other advance classes which would sabotage all of his student's education, crippling them from their true potential. Slowly, Hogwarts's standards failed miserably without the British Wizards or Witches noticing.
Feuds began to growing between Light and dark families all over Britain, as Dumbledore keep pushing onto for laws restricting Darker magic to be used for daily uses, causing the Dark families to be look down upon for their affinity to darker magic and labeled as evil.
Britain slowly began to fall remaining stagnated in their medieval views; whereas other countries grew as time passed by and began to cohabit with their mundane government to create a well-established bridge between both worlds in order to blend their worlds together while the public remained ignorant to the magical side.
Countries such as Australia, China, Korea, Japan, Canada, and the United States held a harmonious relationship with their magical and mundane governments which showed great advancement in creating powerful witches and wizards who are able to roam in both worlds easily without worrying too much and thanks their hard work it bared many fruits: Such as Technomancy, a rather new branch of magic which made in 1990, by a group of Japanese team who managed to bridging magic and technology together. Of course, it wasn't well advanced yet, but they were working on it. They managed to create some home appliances which are fueled by magic instead of electricity.
The British Ministry of Magic has gone far as to stop the inflow of Technomancy with the British Lands and banned such products from being used within Britain or be face to pay a sizeable fine. Dumbledore feared the British wizards and witches were going to accept such technology, but thanks to the bigotry of the Pureblood families, it was quickly put down within him having to step in.
Dumbledore knew he had Britain in the palm of his hand, whatever he said the British wizards and witches they ate it all up wanting to follow his command without thinking, becoming his mindless sheep. However; only the muggleborns and light families followed his heed, because they saw him as a messiah, a beacon of all goodness and a true light wizard is suppose to be. Almost as if he was the new coming of Merlin, and he loved every second of it and he wasn't going to relinquish it.
So he created Voldemort in hopes he'll be the one who'll defeat him; another Dark Lord in his lifetime to gain more recognized and become the Ruler of Britain, but sadly he never expected Voldemort to gain such power that was on par at his, nor the amount of political powerful followers who became his minions, his Death Eaters who wanted to purge England from all muggleborns who'll dirty their blood.
Voldemort's forces were known to be merciless duelers who were loved to create havoc and prey on muggles and muggleborns alike for fun. Dumbledore was way over his head and couldn't defeat the Dark Lord he created which caused mass chaos within the British lands. Countless families died and the numbers of wizards and witches decreased.
Years passed and Voldemort's forces began to spread to other countries, and Dumbledore knew he needed to help. He knew he needed his own minions so he created the famous, 'Order of the Phoenix,' a group of hand selected wizards and witches who came from powerful light families such as: The Potters, Longbottom, Bones, McGonagall, and Shacklebolt; but as well as powerful half-bloods and even some muggleborn. He went as far as inducted newly graduate students from Hogwarts to be in his Order of the Phoenix.
The Order of the Phoenix became a vigilante group who fought against the Death Eaters, providing aid and reliefs whenever they go. They all were under Dumbledore's command and would report back to him whenever they had a new lead as where the Death Eater's or Voldemort himself would strike next, but even with Dumbledore's new group, Voldemort increased his efforts in taking over Britain, causing hundreds upon hundreds of death nationwide.
It wasn't until Dumbledore heard a prophecy from a seer he was interviewing for a positing as a Divination Professor for Hogwarts, detailing the fall of Voldemort that he began plotting his grand scheme. The prophecy stated that a child will be born and he alone will be the one to vanquish the Dark Lord, a child whose' parents defied the Dark Lord three times and was born as the seven month dies.
When Dumbledore told his Order of the Phoenix, only who children were born on July 31st whose parents have defied Voldemort three times; one was Neville Frank Longbottom a pureblood son of Frank Augustus Longbottom and Alice Longbottom; and Harry James Potter the half-blood son of James Charlus Potter and Lily Potter nee Evans.
Either child fitted the prophecy and since they didn't know which was the one who'll vanquished the Dark Lord; Dumbledore send both families into hiding to protect the children, but he knew the Potter Child was the prophecy child because he knew the full prophecy, and just as Voldemort was a half-blood so was Harry and Voldemort knew. He just needed to find a way to get rid of James, Lily, Sirius, Remus and he found the perfect opportunity when he discovered Peter Pettigrew was spying for Voldemort.
He seized his chance and took. He personally casted the Fidelius charm on the house they chosen to resided in and made Peter the secret Keeper, after James and Sirius suggested it would've been too obvious if Sirius was the secret keeper and Dumbledore's plans fell into place.
Peter betrayed James and Lily by informing Voldemort where they were hiding and on the 31st of October and Voldemort made his move. Voldemort sent Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black and her husband, Rodolphus Lestrange to the location where the Longbottom's were hiding whilst he traveled where the Potter's were hiding. He wasn't going to take any chances, even if he knew the Potter child was the child of prophecy it didn't hurt to ensure the Longbottom child was killed off as well.
The Dark Lord wasted no time in disposing of James Potter; the poor fool didn't stand a chance against Voldemort and died a quick death with a simple Avada Kedavra. The Dark Lord quickly moved upstairs where Lily Potter was standing in front of Harry Potter's crib begging Voldemort to spare her child, but Voldemort laughed and killed her ignoring the cries the child was giving off.
Voldemort started the child and sneered as if the child could stop him. He raised his yew wand and with one last look at the child, he uttered the killing curse; however as the green spell was going to strike the child's forehead it rebounded and struck Voldemort's chest, killing the Dark Lord gaping as he was killed by his own spell.
When Sirius arrived, he was the dead body of his best friend and rushed to check upstairs. As he approached Harry's room he saw Lily lying dead on the floor. He saw the dead body of the Dark Lord was reduced to ashes, only his wand and ashes remained. He wasted no time and checked on Harry who was crying his little heart out. Sirius held onto Harry against his chest and cried at the loss of his two best friends he lost.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hagrid's looming body demanding Sirius to hand over Harry as per Dumbledore's orders. Sirius tried to resist and didn't want to hand over Harry, telling the half giant he was his godfather and he was the one who was going to take care of Harry, but when he certain brown mouse taking the Dark Lord's wand away he knew it was Peter who betrayed them.
He relented and handed Harry to Hagrid, tossing his keys to his motorcycle. He ran following the brown mouse and saw as it transformed back into Peter and Sirius went rabid, spouting on about how he kill Peter for betraying him, but in his madness, Peter noticed the Auror were coming; cutting of his finger with a cutting hex and couple of bombardas around the neighborhood. He quickly transformed into his animagus form as the Aurors appeared and apprehended Sirius, arresting him for the murder of Peter and betraying the Potter's, while Peter escaped and went into hiding.
Dumbledore smirked inwardly as he saw Sirius placed inside Azkaban, he just returned from leaving Harry onto the doorstep of the Dursley's and knew his machinations were set. He played his part as the sympathetic grandfather figure, promising Sirius he'll try to free him. When he returned to the Order of the Phoenix's headquarters, he delivered the devastating news of the fate of the Potter's and well as the fate of the Longbottom.
As it turned out, Frank and Alice Longbottom had endured the Cruciatus Curse for far too long and were left in a vegetative state and were placed inside St. Mungo's; Neville survived and was placed in the care of his grandmother Augusta Longbottom.
When Remus demanded to know what happened to his friends. Dumbledore told them how Sirius betrayed James and Lily, leading the Dark Lord into their home and how Harry Potter managed to destroy the Dark Lord. Remus howled as the devastating news and his heart broke as his family has been broken by his mate, the man who he loved. He left as his inner wolf howled in dismay. Weakly, he asked what happened to Harry, his cub.
Dumbledore assured them Harry was sent to his family's house as it was protected by Lily's blood sacrifice and it was the safest place for Harry to be at. Remus tried to protest, but Dumbledore assured him Harry was going to be well cared for. Remus relented, and ran away to wallow in his pain and suffering.
Everything was going as planned, but of course the Potter brat and to run away and made things harder for him. All the Potter brat had to do was endure the Dursley's punishment for ten years before he'll arrive to save him, but now, he had to start looking for the brat. All of his magical devices that were keyed to Harry were broken and couldn't sense the boy, much to his dismay. If only the boy would've stayed where he was supposed to, he wouldn't have to be dealing with everyone hounding on him. He wouldn't have an enraged werewolf raising too many questions he shouldn't be asking.
So there he was; sitting in his office as with the ever screeching Molly Wesley, the matriarch of the Weasley Clan, demanding the whereabouts of Harry Potter. He tried so hard to keep his temper and magic in bay as the woman waved her finger at him, berating him.
"Albus, where is the Potter brat! We need him to attend this upcoming year, or else how is my precious Ginny going to make him fall for her. How else are we going to get the Potter fortune?" Molly screeched, turning a bright red which seemed to match her flaming hair color.
Dumbledore sighed, "Don't you Molly, my dear. I'm close to finding the Potter brat and I ensure you he'll be attending Hogwarts this year." He appeased the enraged woman as he sucked on a lemon drop, one of his many addictions.
Molly's lips thinned tightly, not liking how their plans weren't going as planned. Harry Potter was supposed to attend Hogwarts last year, and her son, Ronald was supposed to befriend him so he'll be able to lead him in the right direction, keeping the Potter brat in place alongside the annoying muggleborn know-it-all. They were supposed to become the Golden Trio, but when the Potter brat didn't attend Hogwarts, news spread all over the Wizarding World asking where their savior was hiding.
"I hope you find him soon, Albus." Molly said dismissively, "The public has been getting antsy and will not hesitate to come after you if he doesn't attend Hogwarts's this year. According to Arthur, Lucius has been trying to convince Fudge on sending a group of Aurors on the search for the boy; they fear someone might've kidnapped him."
Dumbledore sighed heavily; he was starting to feel his age. He wasn't fond of the idea of Lucius whispering into Fudge's ear.
Lucius Malfoy, the current Lord of the Most Honorable and Noble house of Malfoy was a powerful man; both politically and financially speaking, there was no question about it. While the Malfoy's aren't part of the twenty-eight original houses of Britannia: The Most Ancient and Noble Houses which founded the Magical Britain, some which include: the Abbott's, Avery's, Black's, Bulstrode's, Burke's, Carrow's, Crouch's, Fawley's, Flint's, Gaunt's, Greengrass', Gryffindor's, Longbottom's, Macmillan's, Nott's, Ollivander's, Parkinson's, Peverell's, Prewett's, Potter's, Rosier's, Rowle's, Selwyn's, Shacklebolt's, Slytherin's, Slughorn's, Weasley's, and Yaxley's.
The Malfoy's quickly earned their title and gained power by the storm, thanks to their natural affinity to politics.
Looking into the Hogwarts's registry, an ancient book which is said was created by the four founders of Hogwarts themselves: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff, who embed their magic into in order to find every single magical child born within Britain's borders.
The more he looked through the book, trying to find Harry's name, he couldn't find it. Almost as if Harry disappeared from Britain all together; which only had two explanations, one: either Harry must've left Britain, or he was dead. He hoped Harry was in a different country, rather than being dead. He still needed the brat and he'll refuse to let the brat kill himself before he done his duty. He was going to find the Potter brat one way or another and once he did, he was going to make him regret causing him so much trouble.
A beautiful red feathered phoenix shook its head sadly on its perch, disappointed at the man who he was bounded with, he couldn't believe the man had also power and greed take over him. He knew Dumbledore would someday he'll pay for what's he's done. All he could do know is waiting for their bond to weaken so he may escape.
He hoped where ever the emerald eyed child he's seen in his dreams is ready to go up against his puppeteer.
E/N:There you have it! The next chapter is going to be up next week (hopefully), if not it should be up by 5th of February. I'm currently working on the next chapter and it'll be action packed! It'll include a training session between Naruto and Raiden, their Academy graduation, and Mizuki betrayal!
