A/N: Whoa, I was in the middle of writing this chapter when I realized just how much I've written so I decided to break it into three chapters instead of one humongous one. So, the next three chapters will kinda be fillers, but important to the story line. This chapter will be about Raiden meeting the kitsune for the first time and interacting with his future teachers. The next two chapter, Raiden will finally go back to England, but will make a quick pit-stop to talk with the Shogun of Japan, he'll finally meet Remus, deal with the goblins and Hogwarts letter. That's pretty much what I have plan so far, after he finished his business in England he'll be returning to Konoha to meet his squad and the Zabuza Arc will begin in two to three chapters.

Ohh and regarding Sirius' imprisonment in Azkaban. Sirius be staying in Azkaban for one more year until he escape to hunt down Pettigrew at Hogwarts. I was planning on having Sirius released from Azkaban as soon as possible, but Raiden doesn't have any solid prove Sirius is innocent. I'll be going more in-depth in chapter 11.

Q/A:

Hmm, some people have asked be whether Raiden was going to be an animagus, and the answer is yes. Raiden will become an animagus and he'll have two or three forms. One of his form will be a Shadow wolf because he's thee container of the Jyuubi no Okami and it makes sense for him to have a wolf form. I also want him to have an avian form, perhaps a crow, raven, or hawk. I don't want him to become a phoenix because there's like a bunch of stories where be becomes a phoenix. The third form will be a small animal, perhaps a fox or a type of dog. I have decided yet, but he'll definitely be a Shadow wolf or Nemean Lion...

As for the others, they also be having their own animagus forms. I was thinking of having Neville become a bear or lion, Fred and George could be foxes, and Viktor can become some type of bird. I'm still brainstorming, so if you guys have suggestions as to what they should be, I'm all ears!

To iReadWriteType: Regarding your first question, Naruto and Raiden will be having some fluffy moments between the Land of Waves Arc and Crush Konoha Arc, nothing huge happen until they're older. Although, they'll be sharing a moment before Naruto leaves to find Tsunade with Jiraya and Raiden leaves to Hogwarts.

As for your second question, I was planning on having Naruto go with Raiden to Hogwarts, but ultimately, decided against it because Naruto needs to go with Jiraya and trained with him and grow as a person and shinobi. If Naruto goes with Raiden to Hogwarts there's not much he can do, YET, and he'll be losing time he could use to improve his own skills. Also, it give them both a chance to be apart from each other and grow before they reunite during the Shippuden Arc, once Raiden is done dealing with Voldemort and Dumbledore.

Chapter Ten: Meeting with the Kitsune Chief

January 30th 1992, 5:00 a.m.

Konoha's Hospital, Konohagakure, Hi no Kuni,

The following day Raiden woke up inside the hospital, strapped down to his bed with bandages covering half of his chest and back. His left arm was secured snugly against his chest by a medical sling which went over his right shoulder.

He wasn't amused.

He was practically chained down to his bed. Sure, he might've escaped the hospital in the past while his doctors weren't looking on more than one occasion, but that doesn't mean he'll always escape. . . and it's not because his body is extremely sore from pushing his limits nor the amount of pain he's currently in. . . nope, definitely not the reason why he hasn't escaped yet.

"About time you woke up, gaki?" He could hear the amusement roll off Kakashi's voice, he glared at the silver-haired man loathing his current situation.

Kakashi snickered at the pouting boy. He fairly knows well how much Raiden hated bring stuck in a hospital for an excessive amount of time period, which is the reason why Raiden avoids getting hurt at all costs in the first place. He couldn't say he blamed Raiden, he too, dislike his stays at the hospital. "Here, brought you something to help pass time. I'm sure you'll enjoy it." He tossed him a sealed package at Raiden and watched intently as Raiden opened the package, trying to gauge his reaction.

Raiden noticed Kakashi's intense gaze and immediately felt apprehensive as he opened the package, and just as he predicted he quickly glanced away from his gift as soon as he saw a familiar orange book cover.

Raiden felt his face heat up warmly as he looked at the three books Kakashi gave him. He heard Kakashi's manly giggles and shot him his signature death glare; unfortunately, the older man doesn't seemed fazed after being subjected to his death glares countless time in the past.

"Oh, what's the matter, Raiden-kun? You're looking a little flushed. Are you okay?" Kakashi teased the boy who was still blushing red.

"I'm fine, just surprised you got me those pervy books." Raiden drawled, glaring the silver-haired man.

"Maa, maa," Kakashi looked unperturbed, by his choice of gift. "You're a growing boy and one day you'll value them greatly. I'm just helping you start your collection." He reasoned, giving Raiden his trademark eye smile.

"You're trying to corrupt me, ain't ya?" Raiden narrowed his eyes at his perverted mentor.

"Who me" Kakashi said innocently, clutching at his heart. "Why would you say such hurtful things, Raiden-kun?" Kakashi lookedhurt by Raiden accusation and sighed, "perhaps I'll return them. Seeing as you don't value them," he reached over to take the books away, but Raiden pushed his hands away with his foot, clutching on to the smut filled books with his good arm.

Kakashi raised an amused eyebrow at Raiden, his eyes shining with mirth as the pre-teen isn't going to let go of the books anytime soon. "Err, perhaps I'll need them one day for umm research, ya?" The flustered boy said softly ignoring Kakashi's knowing grin. Inside of his mind he heard Matsu snickering in his den.

"Oh, my little Raiden-kun is growing so fast," Kakashi cooed, fake tears rolled down his cheeks. "I remembered when you were just a chibi gaki, and now you're growing up to be a fine Shinobi." Raiden rolled his eyes at Kakashi's dramatic antic, fairly used to them by now.

He shook his head, but smiled softly. Kakashi might be a pervert, but he had a good intentions; disregarding how inappropriate his gift may be. Especially, considering how young he is to own such a dirty novel. He's twelve years old and wouldn't need the book until he's older, much longer. He'll probably hide them; somewhere, in till then, he had no use for it for now.

"Now, before I leave. I think it's time to talk about something serious." Kakashi sobered up, dread pooling in his stomach at the conversation which was about to take place. "It's time for 'The Talk,' so just lay back and listen closely because I'm not going to repeat myself, got it?"

Sensing an uncomfortable conversation, Raiden tried to wiggled out of his bed to escape, but sadly his body wasn't cooperating.

Kakashi sighed. "Sorry kiddo, this is going to be just as uncomfortable for you, as it's going to be for me. So don't squirming and listen up." Kakashi groaned.

'Why am I doing this?' He wailed mentally, banging his head against a wall.

After the traumatizing and highly detailed explanation, Raiden laid frozen in his bed, still wrapping his head around his the new information he will never be able to forget anytime soon. He hasn't blushed that intensely in his life, nor has he seen Kakashi that uncomfortable as he explained everything to him.

"Oh Kami-sama, please tell me you understood Raiden." He pleaded, not wanting to explain everything all over again

Raiden nodded fervently, "Yes! Just stop, please stop! I understand!"

Kakashi sighed relieved, thankful he could put the lid on that topic forever. 'There was no way in hell he's going to have The Talk with Naruto! Screw that, he'll let Iruka deal with that.'

"Ugh, I hate to ask but do you have any questions?" He asked with trepidation. Raiden debated internally, before he nodded slowly. "Umm, is it okay to like both sexes, and how do people view homosexuality here?" He asked quietly.

Kakashi nodded, "to answer your first question, yes, it's completely fine to be attracted to men and women, just as it's natural to be attracted to men only, or women only. I, myself am bisexual. I'm equally attracted to both men and women. Although if I'm frank, I enjoy men more, but that's just me." Kakashi said truthfully. He has neither lied; nor sugarcoated anything to Raiden, he rather be blunt straight to his point thank beat around the bush and waste time.

"Homosexuality within the Elemental Nations is largely accepted. We don't frown upon at same-sex couples, because we cannot decide who we fall in love it just happens, either it's a man and a women, man and another man, or women and another woman. However, even if it's accepted, there are some who are strongly opposed homosexuality." He said seriously.

"Now, homosexuality with clans can be a bit touchy, at best. It depends on the beliefs of each clan,whether they accept it or not, especially within the main branch of each family since the heirs are expected to sire at least one child. If an heir happens to be attracted to their same gender, they have couple of choices:

One, they could willingly give up his or her right to the next in line and live their life as they wish; usually it'll go to the second born child of the mainly family.

Second choice would be their family wouldn't care as long as they find a woman who'll surrogate a child using a rather special medical jutsu who'll ensure the baby will carry the blood and genes of both parents, without any input of the surrogate mother. Lesbians couple would have to decided who'll be carrying the child and have to find a sperm donor, the procedure would ensure their baby will carry the two mother's genes, without any of the sperm donors aid.

Third choice would be a bit extreme. Their family could either make the individual an outcast within the clan banishing them, as well as losing their Clan's name and rights, or even killed.

The last choice would be for the individual to find a partner who can naturally bear a child. Yes, you heard me right, a man could have a child just as a woman; even though, they have different parts down there: and before you ask I have no idea how it works to be honest. It's extremely rare for a man to bear a child, but not impossible. They have to be born with the ability to bear children, it cannot be learned."

"A-Are you serious?!" squeaked Raiden loudly. Shocked by the whole concept of a man being able to carry a child, he couldn't believe such a thing was possible!

"Yup, it all started with the Uzage clan, one of the original founders of Uzushiogakure no Sato were said to be blessed by the Gods and Goddesses themselves, and gave Uzage Toharu the ability to bear a child with his lover. Uzage Toharu literally gave birth to his clan, and was the first documented male birth ever recorded. All of his male children were born with the ability as well, and soon they spread out all over the country until it became a dormant gene."

"Whoa," Raiden said weakly, his mind blown by the possibility.

"Is there a way to know if someone possesses the gene?" He asked Kakashi.

"There actually is, if you wish we can take a quick blood sample to determine if you have the active gene." Akira said sweetly as he walked into the room, carrying her clipboard by her side.

"Err, yeah. That would be great to know. . ." Raiden blushed, quickly hiding the novels Kakashi gave him under his pillow. He didn't want anyone to know about them.

"Alright, I'll need just two vials of blood to determine whether you have the gene or not, it's quite rare but it's better to know before it's too late." She said matter-of-factly, smiling at Raiden.

"Okay, umm is it possible you can unbind me?" He begged giving Akira his best puppy-eyes he could muster. Akira faltered for a second, she almost gave in to Raiden's request but she steeled herself. No matter how adorable Raiden's eyes appeared, she wasn't going to give in. Raiden noticed he was failing, so he brought out the big guns. He bit his lower lip, trembling as he stared right into her soul with his radiant emerald eyes. "Please," he said cutesy and Akira buckled under pressure. It was way too cute for her to resist Raiden's charms.

Kakashi watched enviously as Raiden got Akira to unbind him. If it were him, he'll be chained to the pleading to be freed until Akira would whack him on the back of his head and tell him to suck it up. So Kakashi did the only thing he could. He pouted dramatically at the unfairness of the world.

"Oh, what am I gonna do with you Raiden." Akira said exasperated, undoing the chains which hold him down.

Raiden shot her a charming smile which melted her heart into a chocolaty, gooey mess. She knew Raiden was going to become quite the ladies' man in his late teenage years; he'll be able to capture the hearts of men and women alike if he smiles like that.

"There," she said as he unfastens the last chain and restraining seals, giving Raiden more assess to move around. "Now, don't you dare get up from your bed, your body is still recovering and your arm is still tender, so watch out. I'll be right back with the scroll." She said sternly, shooting a daring glare at Raiden.

Chuckling nervously, Raiden promised he'll stay put. He didn't want to deal with an infuriated doctor, especially not Akira who packed quite a punch.

"Well, gaki. I hope you heal fast, you'll be working with your new teammates and sensei soon. . . But before I go, the Hokage asked if he could have Mizuki's banking statements."

"Oh sure, they're inside my room hidden underneath a fake wooden panel under my bed, all you have to do is tap the far left corner three times then place your palm on the center of the board and pulse your chakra. Within couple of seconds the wooden panel should open by itself."

Kakashi clapped his hands, "great, and here. These will come quite handy in the future." He tossed three scrolls at Raiden before he jumped through the window.

Raiden opened the scrolls and smiled widely as he scans the jutsu scrolls thoroughly. The scrolls contained a jutsu each; the first scroll was a lighting nature-based jutsu called 'Rakuri no Jutsu', it essentially created a lightning bolt which would strike anyone or anything within it reach. The second jutsu was a fire nature-based jutsu, called 'Katon: Karyu Edan,' which made its user spat out a medium sized fireball. The last jutsu was perhaps the most practical and useful of the set of three, it was a jutsu all Jounin used often; the 'Shunshin no Jutsu,' which allowed it's user to travel great distance without being seen. Quite handy if you're stuck in a sticky situation and need a quick getaway.

He noticed a small note was attached to the scroll detailing Naruto's condition; apparently, Naruto is currently bedridden in his room recuperating from unlocking the legendary Uzumaki rage, his chakra networks is completely fired and needs to balance out.

Raiden didn't know if he was ready to see Naruto yet, he was still trying to get over Naruto's outburst and his feelings were still raw. He knew Matsu's idea having a small break would help him clear his mind, perhaps he'll take the weekend off and hand out with Kiba.

He wondered if the dog loving boy would mind or if he was even free, he'll probably have to pass by the Inuzuka compound and ask Tsume if it's alright for him to stay over the weekend.

["Oi, just finished healing your body, but I would recommend you keep the sling for now, it seems the poison on the shuriken is affecting your regeneration a bit."]

Moving his legs without feeling pain whatsoever, Raiden sighed contently. He didn't even he feel sore anymore, his left shoulder was still stinging a bit, but wasn't as painful as it was when he woke up.

'Thanks, Matsu! You're a lifesaver!'

["Don't sweat it, I just enhanced your regenerative powers from your magic, you'll be good by Monday at best. Oh, and if you're wondering if you can bear child, you can't. You have the gene and would've been able to bear child if I wasn't sealed in you."]

'Really?' asked Raiden.

["Yup, since I'm an alpha wolf demon, we cannot bear a child ourselves. We can only impregnate others, and from what I've seen in your home world, some wizards are capable of bearing children as well. Your little blonde might be able to bear a children, it depends if he has the gene which is very likely, and the Kyuubi no Kitsune is a submissive demon, after all. But your too young to be thinking of these things Raiden, so just focus on your training."] Matsu scolded weakly.

'Err, yeah. . . I was just curious. . .'

January 30th 1992, 6:30 a.m.

Kitsune Den, Kitsune Forest, Mount Ryuuchi

"Shinzo, I think we've just found the last Kuro, and Ryuusuke heirs. They're both rough shape and need to be healed immediately, their lives are at risk!"

"Explain," Shinzo demanded, eyes hardening at the sudden grave news Akitoshi brought in.

Ever since they've discovered the Uzumaki and Senju heirs, they've been keeping close watch over the two boys. He sent Tetsuo to observe the boys closely, checking if they truly wield magic and what shade their magic is, and to their delight, both boys had neutral magic; however, the Uzumaki heir had his natural magic sealed unintentionally. When they sealed the Kyuubi no Kitsune within him, they've also sealed his magic and will be unsealed once Kyuubi no Kitsune is woken up.

The Senju heir is aware of his magic and has learned to harness it quite well without any help whatsoever, and if they were frank, the boy was quite powerful. However, what they didn't know was the Senju heir had the Jyuubi no Okami sealed inside him, and the demon wolf was active, helping the Senju heir. They were all quite surprised with the revelation, and were hopeful they'll be able to find the Ryuusuke and Kuro heirs and reunite all four heirs to purify the evil from the rest of the tailed demons.

"While Tetsuo was scouting the Forest of Death inside Konoha, he sensed a small dimensional rift which was openly recently; within the past ten years, and called me to investigate. As soon as I found it, I smelled the Jyuubi's signature all over the doorway, which leads to another dimension where magic exists, but chakra doesn't. The magic users in that dimension are hidden away from the humans who don't have magic, in their own communities scattered all over the world, alongside other magical creatures; including fairies, sprites, unicorns, and dragons."

Shinzo paused for a second, eyes widening. "Are you telling me you've found where the dragons fled to!?"

Akitoshi nodded, "yes, in fact they've been living peacefully for years. They've have an understanding with the magic users. As long as the magic users don't bother them, they won't harm the magic users. The original dragon clans lives in Japan, and have three other secondary clans living in China, Romania, and Australia."

"Anyways, as I was sayings. After I've meet with Ryuusuke, the current, Dragon Chief in Japan, he directed me to one of the magic user's leaders. He's the Shogun of Japan and helped me find the Ryuusuke, and Kuro heirs. Apparently, the Kuro heir had been imprisoned without a trial inside a jail where horrible creatures constantly roam, sucking the souls of their prisoners slowly making them go insane. He's currently suffering mentally, and needs to be taken away from the prison before it's too late. He was accused of a crime he didn't commit, or at least that's what the Shogun believes

The Ryuusuke heir was killed by a madman; however, he wasn't the only one Ryuusuke who survived, he had a twin brother who he never knew he had. The twins were separated at birth and taken into different homes. The oldest twin was blood adopted into a British family, the Potter's; whereas the youngest twin was adopted by another British family, the Lupin's. The youngest Ryuusuke was bitten by a rouge werewolf as a child and became a werewolf. He, however, never accepted his inner wolf and is slowly killing himself. I would suggest we talk to the Okami Chief if they can help him become one with his inner wolf before he kills himself."

Shinzo noticed Akitoshi looked conflicted, as if he had something else to say, but couldn't say it. He motioned for the black pelt fox to continue.

Akitoshi sighed, "The Shogun told me everything he knew under one condition. . ." He paused for a moment and Shinzo growled fiercely.

"What was his condition?" Shinzo growled making the poor submissive fox back away slightly from the enraged alpha in front of him. Shinzo took a deep breath, calming his anger a bit. Once he calm down, he apologized for losing his temper. He simply didn't like owing anyone anything.

"The Shogun wants to meet the Senju heir apparently he's not only a Senju, but a Potter as well." Akitoshi replied meekly.

He went on to explain the events that happened in Britain, a place where all of the heirs were located. He explained what happened and why the Kuro heir was imprisoned, how the older Ryuusuke heir died. He told Shinzo of the war that took place in Britain and of Voldemort, a dark lord who seek to take over the Wizarding World. He explained how a baby defeated the Dark Lord, and was herld the Hero of the Wizarding world, Harry James Potter. He also mentioned how their Savior vanished, and everyone has been trying to find him, but nobody has ever succeeded.

"Kuso," Shinzo cursed loudly, "That means we must approach the Senju heir earlier than we planned." He grumbled sourly, "I'll send word to Tetsuo to approach the child at once and bring him back here." He said thoughtfully, writing a quick letter to Tetsuo alerting of their current situation. "I want you go retrieve the Ryuusuke and Kuro heirs at once, bring them back here as soon as possible and please explained to them what's happening. We need them on our side and have to train them. Not to mention heal them which will take a while. Meanwhile, I'll request a meeting with Ishiro. It's been a long time seen the overgrown mutt. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear their Kage is alive."

Akitoshi nodded, "Hai! I'll bring them back as soon as possible." He replied confidently, he was about to leave to retrieve the heirs when he heard Shinzo, he stopped and listened.

"I don't like how you handle this situation, Akitoshi, but I know you had no other choice or else you wouldn't have struck the deal with the Shogun."

Akitoshi nodded weakly.

Shinzo sighed, "You're dismissed. I'll inform you when the child is ready to meet the Shogun."

He watched as Akitoshi seeps into the shadows, disappearing completely using his Shadow walk ability to travel wherever he pleases. It's one of the abilities all shadow elemental creatures possess. As he finished the letter to Tetsuo, he seals it and snaps his fingers. He watched as the letter disappeared into the air and waits for a reply.

January 30th 1992, 7:00 a.m.

Outside Konoha's walls, Konohagakure, Hi no Kuni

"Huh, I guess there's no going back now." Tetsuo said to himself as he finished reading Shinzo's letter. He extends his hand and the letter catches on fire, burning until only its ashes remain.

The fire elemental fox has been observing the Senju and Uzumaki heirs for quite a while now, he's seen them training was impressed with the dedication both boys put in their training. He could tell they would make fine warriors someday, he would be more than happy to teach them, especially the young Uzumaki heir, he's perfect to teach him the Sneaking Fox style, and he had both the body and agility to master it. The Senju heir could learn it too, but the Howling Wolf Fist style would suit him far better due for his raw strength and brute force.

"Well, better go find him." Tetsuo sighed as he jumped off the tree branch he was resting on. He placed an invisibility and scent damping charms on, before he bypassed the main gate of the village. He smirked as the guards didn't even sense him as he passed by them. It's one of the perks of having magic.

Once inside, he found the nearest dark alley, Tetsuo removed his charms and transformed into his human form with ease. He placed a strong charm on himself to make everyone stay away from if they get too close to him.

He ran a callous hand through his fiery red hair and sighed. He remembered the events which took place last night; he saw how the Senju heir took the death blow for the Uzumaki heir. He thanked the deities he didn't die on the spot, if the boy didn't have the Jyuubi within him he would've died from blood loss.

He figured he'll find the Senju heir in the hospital, and just as he predicted the boy was exiting the hospital with a sling supporting his injured arm.

He waited for the Senju heir to keep on walking before he followed him closely, but without letting him know he was being followed. Tetsuo frowned as he followed the Senju heir through the rundown section of the village before he lost his scent completely. Tetsuo cursed trying to sniff out the Senju's heir scent but it's gone.

He was about to open up his mage sight when a sharp blade gets pressed up against his throat. "Why are you following me?" His assailant growled out gravely, tightening his grip on the blade of his katana against his neck.

Tetsuo's eyes widen in shock, never has he ever allowed anyone to sneak behind him. He has greatly underestimated the Senju's heir skills.

"Answer me, kitsune, Why were you following me?" He demanded.

Tetsuo laughed, "You're full of surprises, ain't ya, boy." He replied. Raiden heard the mirth in the stranger's voice before he jumped away from him. Tetsuo summoned his fire to cloak his body, grinning as the boy jumped away, but noticing the boy still had his katana on his right hand.

Raiden narrowed his eyes, he watched as the fire danced around the man's body with ease. He knew he couldn't fight him off with his Ninjutsu due to his injured arm and his Mokuton and Souton would be useless against the fire. Taijutsu was also out, if he couldn't get close to his opponent, it's useless.

He cursed inwardly, trying to figure what to do. The only think he could think of using is his magic. He stored his katana inside his scroll and closed his eyes. Concentrating on his magic, he brought out his own fire. The black hellfire he used before. He felt as the black fire engulfed his body similar to how the other man had his body cloaked with his own fire.

Tetsuo was taken aback by the black fire; it had the same spike of magic he felt four years ago, but being close to the source felt incredible. He would literally feel magic radiated off the fire, and it's intoxicating. It was pure magic, in its raw form.

If they were to fight in the village, the village wouldn't survive. He needed to take the fight somewhere else and fast; he wanted to test out the boy's skill before he talked to him.

"We cannot fight here; this village will not be able to stand the clash of our magic." He said plainly. "I'm Tetsuo, Shinzo's right hand man, and general of the kitsune. Shinzo who's the current Kitsune Chief, sent me here to investigate on the Uzumaki heir and you. He wanted to determine if both of you were worthy to become Kitsune Sages and Mages." Tetsuo explained truthfully. He knew the boy didn't like being lied to nor have things hidden from him. If he wanted the boy to trust him, he needed to be blunt.

"However, some news has been uncovered which would affect you personally," he paused. "It appears, people in your dimension noticed your disappearance and have been trying to locate you, but failed."

Raiden's eyes widen widely, he wasn't ready to go back just yet. He barely became a Genin; he's not even a Chuunin. "How do you know?" Raiden asked forcefully.

Tetsuo noticed the boy's tensed body and nervousness behind the emotionless mask he put on, to regular humans it would seem the boy was perfectly fine, but to animals, it was clear the boy was at unease.

"Because we've sent one of our own to find two other heirs who we need to train alongside, the Uzumaki heir and you. I'll let Shinzo explain everything to you, but first I want to fight you." He smirked, itching for a fight. He's seen the boy train for quite a while, but he wanted to get a real feel what his true proficiently. "What do you say?"

Raiden nodded stiffly, "okay, but I haven't healed completely."

Tetsuo looked over Raiden's injured lazily; he noticed the injured muscle which is refusing to heal despite Jyuubi's efforts. "May I?" Tetsuo asked. "Sure," Raiden replied by taking off his fire cloak.

Tetsuo stared into Raiden shoulder intently. He noticed a sickly green aura around where Raiden was sliced by the shuriken and frowns deeply. He could see a trail of sickly green aura spreading though his system. "Was the shuriken laced with poisoned?" Tetsuo askd casually, opening up his mage sight to check the green aura, it doesn't seem to belong to boy's natural aura.

Raiden's eyes widen, "yeah they were. The medical-nin flushed the poison from my body."

Tetsuo hummed, "Huh, interesting. I haven't seen this poison used for quite a while." He ran his hand over the wound. "This is going to hurt, but I need to get it out at once. This poison is designed to leech off and attack demon's life force. The longer it stays within your body the weaker the Jyuubi is going to be."

Raiden eyes widen in alarm, "do it."

"Okay. This is going to hurt. . . A lot," He warned as a white glowing aura appears around his hand left hand. Tetsuo wasted no time and goes straight in, he plunged his white aura straight into the wound, ignoring Raiden's pain filled screams as he works on flushing the poison out of Raiden's body manuall,y using the white aura to leech off the poison.

"Just a bit longer," Tetsuo grunts, watching carefully as black goo like substance exits from Raiden's wound. He continues flushing out the poison until he can no longer sense anymore poison within Raiden's body. Immediately, he closes the wound and heals him completely using his magic. Lifting his left hand; he slashes at the open air, opening his very own special dimensional rift and takes out a red and blue colored vials before handing them to the boy. "Here, you better drink this up."

Raiden takes the vials handed to him and cautiously sniffs them. The red vial smelled like freshly cut roses, and a tiny hint of honey; whereas the blue vial smelled like wild lavender and morning dew.

Tetsuo roll his eyes, "it's not poison if that's what you're thinking. Seriously, kid if I was trying to kill you, you would've been dead a long time ago." Raiden narrows his eyes at the kitsune, but trusts him. He swallows each vial in one gulp, humming contently how sweet they tasted.

"Not bad," Raiden comments. "What do they do?" He asks the kitsune

"The red vial is to help you restore your stamina, and the blue is to recharge the lost chakra you've lost." Tetsuo answered, "Now that you're completely healed, we can have a battle."

Whatever was in the vials; they did their job rather quickly, Raiden felt fully energized. He removed his sling from his shoulder, tossing it aside as he rolled his shoulders testing for any signs of pain or aches. Once he was satisfied by the healing, Raiden motions; "alright, lead the way."

Tetsuo stretched his hand, Raiden took it his hand and as soon as their hands touched, Tetsuo called forth his fire engulfing the pair within its fiery embrace; Raiden felt the heat of the fire from within the cocoon of fire, but it didn't harm him. Within seconds, Raiden feels something tugging on his waist and felt light-headed. It wasn't unpleasant by any means; it just felt odd, but in a good way.

Raiden watched as the fire cocoon melts away to reveal a large field surrounded by tall trees; instead of the alleyways of Konoha. Tetsuo smirked, "amazing, isn't," Tetsuo commented, grinning as Raiden simply nods, speechless by his method of transportation.

"What took you so long, Tetsuo?" A low baritone voice echoed through the field, making Raiden turned around to see a rather large white furred Kitsune with eight tails waving in the air approaching them.

Raiden felt the power the Kitsune radiated off him, and knew right then, he was the Kitsune Chief. He watched as the Kitsune Chief transformed into his human form; a 6'9" tall man with long white hair and icy blue eyes stood where the Kitsune previously stood.

Wasting no time, Raiden bowed towards the elder man showing his respected towards the Kitsune Chief. Shinzo smiled slightly as the Senju heir, he was glad the boy had good manners. Many human children this age were rather brash and disrespectful towards others, especially their elders.

"Ahh, you must be the Senju heir, what is your name child?" Shinzo asked the raven haired boy.

"Senju-Potter Raiden, Lord Kitsune." Raiden responded politely, using the term which belongs to every animal Chief who has a contract. Something humans have long forgotten.

"Pleasure to finally meet you Raiden, I wished it was in a better situation, but nevertheless, I welcome you to the Kitsune Forest, and please call me Shinzo." He smiled the boy. "I'm sure you have plenty of questions."

Yes. Tetsuo mentioned something about my homeland or should I say home dimension."

Shinzo hummed quietly, "it appears, they've been looking for you when you did not show up at 'Hogwarts' last year. The media and someone named Albus Dumbledore have been searching for you, but they cannot seem to find you anywhere."

At the mention of Albus Dumbledore's name, Raiden couldn't stop the spike of anger and loathe he felt for the manipulative old goat. He's seen the memories of his parents before they died and he couldn't believe the so called 'Defeater of Grindlewald' has been manipulating countless lives, including those of his parents for years and nobody has said anything.

And the wizen wizard has already planned his life, before he could walk, if it wasn't for his parents he would've played right into Dumbledore's hands and become a martyr only to be sacrificed in the end.

The only reason he knew of Albus Dumbledore was; because his parents signed their souls to Matsu, in order to complete the ritual to seal the Matsu within him. When they died, Matsu absorbed their souls and all their memories, which he later showed Raiden.

He wasn't going to allow an egotistical manic dictated his life, only he be used as a pawn. No, he was going to do everything on his own free will, once he gets rid of Voldemort he's going back to the Elemental Nations to live the rest of his life.

Shinzo and Tetsuo both felt Raiden's anger in waves as well as the spike of magic he gave off. They looked at each other, trying to make sense of what caused the Raiden to become angry, they suspected it had something to do whoever 'Albus Dumbledore' was; but they weren't going to pry.

Raiden noticed the looks of concern the two other men had and decided to tell him; after all they needed to know his aversion of going back to England. Looking at Shinzo, he sighed.

[" It would be best if you tell them everything, cub. There's no point in hiding this from them, after all they'll be great allies to have."] Matsu said lazily, as he was starting to wake.

'Alright, do you want to come out and play for a bit?' He asked Matsu, already knowing his answer.

Matsu smirked, ["Sure why, not?"]

Ever since Matsu discovered he could possess one of Raiden's shadow clones, temporary, they have used it whenever Matsu wanted some fresh air or to train. They discovered it by accident during one of their private training session within the Forest of Death, they wasted no time in testing it out. It turns out Matsu can be outside of Raiden body in a shadow clone for a half-hour until he has to go back to Raiden.

While he's possessing Raiden's shadow clone, he cannot use Raiden's magic or Souton, but he can use Raiden's Mokuton, his personal demon powers and alter the shadow clone's body it mimic Matsu's human form if he desired.

Nodding, he turned to Shinzo. "Would you mind if I let out the Jyuubi no Okami?" He asked the Kitsune Chief.

Shinzo frowned slightly, "I don't mind, but how exactly are you going to let the Jyuubi no Kitsune?" He asked out of curiosity.

He watched as Raiden smirked, "It just so happens he can possess one of my shadow clones for a limited time before he has to return to me. I'm not sure how it works exactly; however, I suspect due to the fact the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu creates an exact, living clone of myself. Therefore, it would reason the Jyuubi no Okami would so, be clone and has the opportunity to possess that clone."

Taking a second to take in Raiden's theory, Shinzo had to agree with Raiden's logic. It made sense, the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu makes a living, breathing clone, which has their own thoughts, actions, and conscience; however, they are subservient to their master and cannot go against their caster. If a Jinchuuriki were to create a shadow clone, if would mean their clone would have a portion of the sealed demon as well; and the demon could potentially possess the clone. However, if that were the case, he wondered why the other Jinchuuriki's haven't been able to do the same as Raiden has.

'Could it be due to the form the Jyuubi no Okami was sealed within Raiden?'

Shinzo is extremely curious of the nature of Raiden's seal. The seal on Raiden feels different to all of the Bijuu sealing seals he's felt over the centuries. He couldn't feel any ill intent, or oppressiveness which countless seals have, meant to contain a Bijuu within their host. But that'll have wait for another time.

He watched closely as Raiden made a single shadow clone before a shroud of greenish demonic chakra consumed the clone; covering him completely in the greenish cloak before it vanished within the clone. He could tell the Jyuubi no Okami was in control of the clone by the massive demonic aura which radiated from the clone in waves.

Shinzo noticed slight facial changes within the clone. His eyes turn bestial, more like eyes of a true predator who wouldn't hesitate to kill you on the stop. His teeth elongates, resembling more like fangs rather than human teeth when he grinned roguishly.

Matsu smirked as the kitsune were awestruck by his presence; it's been years since they have last seen him roam the Elemental lands. He remembers Shinzo and Tetsuo when they were mere kits, when the Kyuubi no Kitsune was their Lord. They were two mischievous kits who loved trying to sneak up behind him whenever he would visit them.

"It's great to see both of you again," He stated truthfully at the two kitsune. Turning towards Tetsuo, he bows his head, "I believe I owe you my thanks for flushing out the poison. I tried fighting it, but there was too much."

Tetsuo smiled warmly, "no thanks needed, Matsu. I was happy to help an old friend."

Matsu chuckled, "Either way, I thank you." The wolf demon looks towards Shinzo and smiles fondly, "I see you've finally become the Kitsune Chief, Shinzo. How do you like it so far?" He asked curiously, from what he remembers Shinzo has always loathed taking up the role of a leader during this youth.

Shinzo grunts, "I was basically forced into the role." Matsu raised an eyebrows waiting for him to elaborate when he hears Tetsuo chortles. Once he finished laughing, he grins coly. "Oh, we basically blackmail Shinzo hear to take up the reins as the Kitsune Chief. It was a unanimous decision, there nobody better than him to take up the role even if he doesn't want to admit it." Tetsuo smirked

Matsu grinned, "Ahh makes sense. You wouldn't get him to lead any other way."

Shinzo scowled at the pair, but remained silent as they keep on talking with each other. He looked over where Raiden was standing and motions him to come forwards. The raven haired boy approached and the kitsune asked, "Want to discuss things while they reunite with each other?"

Looking at Matsu and Tetsuo, Raiden knew they weren't going to stop any time soon, "Sure, why not." He might as well inform Shinzo of his past and of Dumbledore's actions over his life. Taking a deep breathe, he sighed weakly, "you must be wonder why I got anger when you mention Albus Dumbledore was looking for you, aren't you?"

"I am, but if you don't wish to tell me or aren't ready, it's alright."

Raiden shook his head, "It'll be better for you to learn the whole truth rather than nothing at all. I understand you've been keeping an eye on us for a while. Matsu told me he's felt a kitsune's presence for the past four years while we trained, but couldn't tell who it belong to."

"Ahh yes, we've been watching you and the Uzumaki heir since we felt a huge magical spike coming from Konoha four years ago. I immediately sent Tetsuo to go and investigate the source of the magical spike and that were he found you were the source. It was your magic that led us to you and we needed to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and let me assure you it wasn't."

Raiden frowned, "if that's the case, then why would I be so important to remain in the shadows? Why not approach us?"

"It's important because we needed to see what kind of person you are and what magical core you had before we could meet you. We needed to ensure you were able to become a mage, and if I'm completely honest, you surprised us all. From the four years we've been keeping an eye on you, we saw your potential to become one of the strongest mages we have ever trained. Your magical core is enormous and it's perfectly shade of grey, the right balanced between dark and light magic, something which is rare. You have the perfect magical core to become a mage, and we are offering to train you to become a mage and a kitsune sage as well, seeing as you'll be an okami sage. What do you say, want to become a mage?" He shot Raiden a wryly smile at the raven haired boy.

Raiden gasped, "Are you serious?" He asked, unsure and completely stunned by the sudden offer. He heard a loud whistle come from behind him and turned around to see Matsu and Tetsuo smirking at him.

Shinzo smiled warmly at the boy. "Yes Raiden, we're offering to train you in the ways of magic and every a mage needs to learn, that includes: sorcery arts, weapons arts, potions and poisons crafting, enchanting arts, conjuration arts, transformation and transmutation arts, and holy arts."

"I'll be stupid not to accept your offer, Lo- err I mean Shinzo." He corrected himself, "I've wanted to explore my magic more thoroughly, but I lack the skills and tools needed, unless I return back to my dimension and learn their way of using magic."

Shinzo nodded, "Great, we'll start your training within a week. But first I have to admit there's a personal reason as to why we're offering to teach you this early, if I'm being completely honest with you." Looking at Raiden, he noticed the boy frowning deeply, but hasn't reacted badly. Taking his lack of reaction as a good sign, he continues, "The reason we've decided to teach you this early is because we'll need you to start learning how to properly purify the tailed demons from the wickedness from the Jyuubi. I'm sure Matsu as told you about how twin brother who turned evil and tried destroying this world, correct?"

Raiden nodded, "Yeah, Matsu's brother began hearing voices whispering into his ear and overtime it took a toll, he fell into temptation and started destroying the world to create his own, but it wasn't until the Sage of Six Path separated the Jyuubi's power creating nine new tailed demons which they each contained a portion of the Jyuubi's power."

"That's correct, but lately there's been an underground organization who have an interest in the tailed demons, we fear they might want to capture them all and unite them, bring forth the Jyuubi to its full power and might use the Jyuubi for whatever nefarious plan they might have.

But, we can stop them from reuniting to Jyuubi by purifying all of the tailed beast from the Jyuubi's evil influences. This is the reason we'll need you and three others. You are the Senju heir and your clan was blessed to have magic running through your veins. The reason the Senju were feared, they produced powerful ninjas, some didn't possess the magic needed to use magic, but others did. The Uzumaki's were another clan who were blessed with magic. The other two were the Kuro and the Ryuusuke clans."

Matsu's eyes widen at the revelation. "Don't you see, Raiden? You have are connected to these four clans by blood. Your mother was a Senju and Uzumaki by blood. Your Father was a Ryuusuke and your godfather, who blood adopted you, was a Kuro."

Shinzo nodded, "Precisely, you have the blood of the four Noble Clans who were gifted magic. This is the reason why you're magically powerful, but we still need to train the other three as well, which is the reason you've contacted you, this early. We've found the Ryuusuke and Kuro Heir."

"While your father was the Ryuusuke heir, he had a twin brother, a brother he didn't about. The Ryuusuke twins were separated by birth and taken to different homes, your father was James Charlus Potter-Ryuusuke, and his twin brother was Remus Edward Lupin-Ryuusuke."

Raiden gasped, "Mooney!?"

"The Kuro heir is Sirius Orion Black-Kuro, your godfather who was imprisoned by a crime he didn't commit and is in mortal danger. We need to retrieve them as soon as possible and heal them from any damage they have acquired, but before we can retrieve them, the Shogun of Japan wants to meet with you. It was him who helped us find them find the heirs. We don't know why he wants to talk with you."

Matsu walked towards Raiden and wrapped his arms around the boy, trying to provide the comfort the boy needed. After hearing the news of Dumbledore's meddling, his new apprenticeship, and having new blood connections with Remus as his real uncle, Raiden was in shock. Matsu whispered softly into Raiden ear, "Shh it's alright, cub. We'll deal with this together, I promised."

Raiden leaned back into Matsu's chest, soaking all of the comfort he could. He felt so conflicted. In one hand, he was happy he'll be able to train his magic and become a mage, and was ecstatic that Remus was his real uncle. But on the other hand, Dumbledore was going to be hunting him down and he'll have to fit his mage training alongside his shinobi training. He's not even going to start thinking about the possibility of him going to Hogwarts; he was overbooked as it is.

Taking a long and languid breath, Raiden's mind started racing working out his schedule trying to accommodate his training. He knew he wouldn't have to meet with his assigned team every single day, as Iruka stated, the teams usually meet up at least four to five times a week depending on their team captain's. Their the weekends are free unless their team captain says otherwise. He could train with the kitsune on the weekends and whatever free days he'll have during the week, but he'll be extremely exhausted.

It was going to be a rigorous schedule, but he'll manage. He won't be able to hang out with Naruto as much as he'll like, but he guessed it'll be good to have some distance from Naruto. It hurt thinking about what Naruto said, but he needed to let the blonde grow on his own. He couldn't continue following him and protecting from as much as he wished he could.

There was still Sirius and Remus he needed to tke into consederation. He knew he wanted to see them, but according to Shinzo they were both in trouble and needed time to heal from whatever damaged they have acquired. Perhaps, once they healed he'll be able to convince them to come with him to Konoha and have them stay with him. He'll have to talk with the Hokage and let him know of his new situation.

Then there was Hogwarts and returning to England. He didn't want to go, if he was honest, but he knew he'll have to eventually. He wanted to go back once he was fully trained, or at least one he was an ANBU, but that wasn't realistic. He has to back soon. He hopes he'll be able to at least become a Chuunin before he has to go.

Feeling much better, he wiggled out of Matsu arms. "Okay, we'll go talk to the Shogun as soon as my fight with Tetsuo. And I'll explain why I got so angry when you mention Dumbledore was looking for me. I have a feeling the Shogun might be interested in what I have to say and might even help me deal with him, politically speaking."

Tetsuo grinned foxily, he rolled his shoulders before stretching getting ready for a fight. "About time, I was wondering if you were going to forget." He smirked, while Shinzo shook his head, amused by his battle hungry friend. He noticed other kitsune were starting to approach from the sides, looking forwards to the fight between Matsu and the human boy.

Raiden shot back a wolfish smirked, feeling his blood rushing through his body. He has always loved a good spar, and enjoyed fighting if he was honest. He knew Tetsuo was going to win, he wasn't going to be able to defeat a kitsune who had years of real training under his beat. He'll be foolish to think so, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try to beat Tetsuo; quite the contrary, he was going to try his best to take the kitsune down.

"Wouldn't dream of it old man," Raiden smirked, ignoring the chuckles he received as Tetsuo deadpanned at being called old. Tetsuo growled out playfully, his eyes burning with excitement, as he shot back, "we'll see punk."

"Oh boy, this is going to be an interesting match ain't it, Matsu." Shinzo whispered to Matsu, earning a grin from the wolf demon. Wasting no time, Shinzo erect a barrier to around Tetsuo and Raiden to prevent any stray attacks from hurting those who've gathered around to watch the match, it was mainly a precaution.

Tetsuo and Raiden felt the barrier surrounding them, keeping them enclose to their battlefield. Tetsuo saw the mystified look on Raiden, and explained it's purpose. "

It's to prevent the audience from getting hurt by any of our stray attacks." Raiden nodded, understanding the main reason of the barrier.

They encircled around the field, neither of them took their eyes from the other as they waited for the other to make the first move. It wasn't until Raiden reached into his weapon pouch and withdrew his wooden shurikens. He didn't hestiate and threw them directly at Tetsuo. The kitsune jumped out of the way, just seconds before they would've strike him.

Raiden eye's narrowed as he watched Tetsuo reached into his side pocket of his pants taking out blank pieces of paper. He watched closely as Tetsuo seemed to be chanting something under his breathe causing the pieces of paper glow blue before they swished around Tetsuo, surrounding him in a blue shield before they changed into shurikens. When Tetsuo stopped chanting, he looked straight at Raiden, "Mahouton: Fureimingu Shuriken!" The shurikens bursts into flames and with a flick of a wrist, they went flying towards Raiden.

Raiden cursed under his breathe at the incoming flaming shurikens, he clapped his hands together and slamming them into the grounds, "Mokuton: Moku Shouheki no Jutsu!" He yelled, making the tree roots erupt from the ground creating a large wooden wall in front of him stopping the flaming shurikens. He watched as his wooded wall burned slowly from theh flaming shurikens, but stayed intact and slightly charred.

Out of the corner of his eye, Raiden caught a glimpse of Tetsuo running straight at him. He raised his hands just in time intercept the right hook heading towards him. He hissed slightly as he felt Tetsuo's raw power managing to break his wooden armor. Raiden somersaulted backwards trying to gain distance from Tetsuo, he knew he wouldn't be able to out power him with his own strength, Tetsuo was too strong for him.

He brushed away his broken armor before new armor took its place, it seemed it became an unconscious command after Raiden always used his wooden armor whenever he battled. His wooden armor became self- melding as long as he had a piece of wood on him, his wooden armor would always regenerate.

'Kuso, I need to slow him down some how . . .' Raiden thought to himself, looking directly at a smirking Tetsuo.

"What the matter, chibi? I thought you were going to pull a good fight. I guess I was wrong." Tetsuo taunted.

Raiden's jaw tensed, ignoring Tetsuo's verbal jab. He wasn't going to let the kitsune mess with his head, he couldn't afford to let meaningless words get to him, in a real battle it would be a huge mistake, a mistake which could potenically cost him his life.

Looking around the field, he noticed his wooden wall was still standing. If he could break it and send the wooden chunks into the air he might be able to sharpen them, creating wooden spears which could rain down at Tetsuo. But first he needed to make Tetsuo stop moving.

Taking a deep breathe, Raiden started sending chakra into his hands. He watched careful as his hands started to glow blue, once satisfied with the amount gathered, he placed them on the ground "Souton: Shukaku," he whispered under his breathe.

Tetsuo watched silently as the grassy field turned into a beautiful flower field, countless black roses and red roses bloomed filling the forest with sweet and intoxicating aroma making him feel drowsy. He slapped himself as he waited for whatever Raiden had planned.

Outside the barrier, countless kitsune watched in awe, gazing upon the beautiful roses that bloomed from the ground in matter of seconds. They could smell the soothing aroma of the roses emitted into the air as it wafted through the forest.

Matsu grinned wolfishly, knowing what Raiden was planning. He noticed Shinzo look at him curiously, wondering as to why he was smiling. Deciding to let the Kitsune Chief on what Raiden was planned he leaned over, "Those black roses aren't ordinary roses you'll find anywhere. These black roses are called the 'Black-Briar Rose', an extremely rare rose which is known for it's soothing aroma making people drowsy, and if you used it's essences you'll create one of the strongest sleeping poison known. Raiden used his Souton to create a stronger version of the 'Black-Briar Rose'. He designed these roses to create a stronger soothing aroma which will inhibiting his opponent's senses, temporary; as well as enhance his Genjutsu casting, buying some time to cast his next attack."

Shinzo's eyes widen, "you mean to tell he's learned how to manipulate his Souton to a point where he could literally create new plants and flowers?"

Matsu shook his head, "not yet, but if you look closely at the black roses, you can sense the roses don't only have chakra, but magical as well. He's found a way to mix his chakra and magic together, but he doesn't realize this yet. And if I'm being honest, these flowers were made by pure luck. . ."

Shinzo remained quite, taking in Matsu's words. He focused on the battle on hand and waits to see what Raiden is planned. He extends his magic senses and he could feel the magic inside the black roses, it's faint but he could feel it.

Tetsuo's eyelids began to droop slowly; he shook his head trying to stay away, but it become harder to keep his eyes open. He noticed something is wrong. He looked around and noticed the roses petals start glowing faintly before they start to levitate from their buds and encircle Raiden. The rose petals themselves starts to rotate rapidly, as they accumulate, the breeze grows stronger.

"Souton: Jigoku Hanabari no Mai," he barely heard, before the rose petals fly towards him, cutting him as they hit him straight on. His vision starts to get fuzzy and he closed his eyes. When he reopens them, he noticed the petals weren't cutting him anymore; no, instead of petals cutting him, he saw knives piercing his limbs.

He roared in pain as he felt the knives pierce his hands. He lets his body be consumed by his flames, wearing the fire cloak as armor. He closed his eyes once more and when he reopens them for the second time, he saw the rose petals falling limply into the ground as they burned to a crisp by his fire. He looked at his hands and sees no puncture wounds of any kind. He's body is filled with cuts and scrapes from the petals, but that's pretty much it.

He extends his left hand, sending a wave of fire to burn the roses. Immediately, his head begins to clear as the flowers burn slowly. He huffed out, impressed by Raiden for his cleverness. "You got there, but let see if you can do it again." Raiden cursed as Tetsuo's fire starts going after him, changing into a bird, flying in the sky as it chases after him.

Slowly, Raiden brings out his own black fire to protect himself. He ignores the gasps from the crowd as he wills his black fire to put out Tetsuo's fire bird. He started panting as he pushes Tetsuo's fire bird back slightly, but it isn't enough. Tetsuo's fire was much stronger.

Using more of his magic, he pushes it into his fire creating an enormous wall of black fire before he jumped out of the way and hides behind his wooden wall.

He wiped off the sweat accumulating in his forehead with his sleeve of his jacket and takes a moment to think of a plan. He magical reserves were almost drained and his chakra reserves are half empty. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer and needed a way to end the battle.

He could summon an okami to help him out, but he hasn't met with them and didn't know who he could call out. Last time he summons an okami cub. He wasn't going to risk it. Looking at his seals he had on his body, he got an idea. Jumping out from where he was hiding, he called out, "Oi, Tetsuo! Why don't we finish this?"

"Gladly." Tetsu respond with a smirk. Raising his left hand, Tetsuo grinned madly as his blade appeared out of thin air in front of him. His hand tightens around the hilt of his kanata and slashes it in the air testing it out.

Raiden took off his jacket and hand warps throwing them into the ground. He watched they made a sizeable crater on the ground. His hands warps and jacket had a gravity seal on them. Each hand wraps weighted 50 lbs. each; whereas, his jacket weighed 100 lbs.

He bit his thumb, drawing blood and swipes it's over his left forearm, opening his chakra seal half to release 25% of locked chakra. Immediately, he feels re-energized as his chakra reserves increase, flooding his body. He reached into his pocket and unseals his own katana before he smirked back at Tetsuo.

Tetsuo shook his head,"you were holding back, weren't ya?"

Raiden grinned back, "Of course, you do have the advantage seeing as you've been spying on my training. But I still have some trick up my sleeves." He angles is kanata slightly towards the sun, using it to blind Tetsuo.

Momentarily blind by the bright flash of Raiden katana, Raiden dashes towards Tetsuo running at full speed. Just as his katana was going to cut him, Tetsuo deflects just in time with a clean swoop. The loud metallic clash of metal is heard as the two blades grind against each other.

Thanks to his greater strength and body mass, Tetsuo pushed forwards making the smaller boy stagger back and jump backwards; wasting no time, Tetsuo ran at the boy and slashes at him relentlessly, not once giving the pre-teen a chance to counter his blade.

Raiden cursed inwardly, there nothing he can do but deflect all Tetsuo's strikes. 'Kuso, I can't last much longer, I need to find a way to create some distance between us.'

He's starting to feel the raw strength behind Tetsuo's attack each time he deflects them and his arms are getting sore. Channeling his lighting chakra into his hands and into his katana, his blade quickly started cracking with electricity. Tetsuo noticed too late and as soon as his katana touched Raiden's he felt his body locking up as the electricity goes through his body, giving Raiden enough time to jump out of the way.

Brings his hands together, Raiden going through a short series of hand signs before he clapped twice, "Souton: Budōnoki-hibari no Jutsu," he yelled out. He watched as vines break through the ground, warping tightly around Tetsuo's body.

Tetsuo struggled against the vines, trying to escape but the more he struggles the more the vine tightens around him, making it impossible to move, much less breathe. "Ugh, I'm seriously starting to get tired of your stupid plants!" He barks out, annoyed and fusterated.

Raiden laughed, "I'm sure you are, but I'm not done yet." Working through another series of hand signs, he puffed his cheeks out and spat out a medium size ball of compressed air from his mouth, "Fuuton: Kaze Edan." He watched as his air bullet smashed through his charred wooden wall, sending wood chunks into the air.

Raiden narrows his eyes as the flying wooden chunks and turns them into spears with a wave of his hand. He maintains the wooden spears in place and turns slowly towards a stunned Tetsuo. Grinning wolfishly, "Mokuton: Tajuu Yari Shibu Danmaku!" he yelled. The wooden spears fly though the air heading towards Tetsuo swiftly, trying to impale the trapped kitsune.

Tetsuo growled, "Oh you're good. But this ends now, I'm done playing," His body combusts into flames burning through the vines with ease. Raising his left hand, he shoots a massive fireball destroying Raiden wooden spears before they could reach him.

Cracking his fists, Tetsuo vanish his blade and reaches into his pocket, taking out blank pieces of papers. He throws the blank papers into the air and starts chanting. His chanting grows louder as the papers start glowing red with each word. When Tetsuo stops chanting, the pieces of papers disappear and are replaces by twenty swords.

"Mahouton: Danshingu no Mangetsu Touken," he smirked as he watched Raiden's stunned reaction.

Raiden's eyes widen, "Kuso," he whispered under his breathe looking at the flying swords surrounding the kitsune.

Tetsuo laughed, "You aren't half bad, brat. I'll admit that, but now you're finished. This is my one of my special attacks. Unlike, my flaming shurikens, these swords are enchanted to strike down anything in their path." He shoots the startled boy a toothily grin, "of course since this is a friendly match, they aren't going to kill you. But they are going to hurt. . . A lot," He crackled madly as he sends his swords after Raiden.

The enchanted swords chased down Raiden trying to cut the boy and maim him, but not kill him. He stands back as he watches the black haired pre-teen outmaneuvers some of his blades with grace, but it's not always successful. The boy his breathing hard and has countless cuts all over him, bleeding all over the place where his swords have managed to nicked him.

He watched silently, as Raiden continues to fight even though the boy knew he was outmatched. He had to admit the boy was tenacious, and damn crafty little bugger. He cannot believe how many times he's gotten tricked or surprised by one of pre-teen's attacks. He really did underestimate him, and all of the cuts in his body were prove. He couldn't believe he got cut by rose petals of all things. He was a fire elemental for crying out loud!

He could've burned all of Raiden's stupid plants, yet the boy managed to catch him off guard. He knew it had to do something when the flower field the boy grew, as soon as the flowers bloomed he started to get drowsy.

"I'm not going down at easy, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" He heard Raiden call out as he created twenty shadow clones to fend off his enchanted swords. Each clone focused on a single sword, that manage to stretch the battle out and even manage to take out four swords in the process, but in the end, all Raiden's clones where destroyed and soon Raiden was surrounded by sixteen swords. Raiden cursed, but drop his katana and accepted his loss.

Tetsuo nodded and with a wave of his hand, his enchanted swords disappeared. He slowly approached the boy and extended his hand, which Raiden gladly took.

"You sure got spirit, brat." Tetsuo stated looking at Raiden with respect shining through his eyes, "I like it. You'll make a fine warrior someday, keep it up."

Raiden bowed slightly, "Thank you for the match. It's been a long time since I've had this much fun." He smiled genuinely, his face was still red from exhaustion, but his smile never seized to diminish from his face.

He yelped comically as he was picked up by someone and thrown into the air as if he weighted nothing demanding to be put down. Matsu pouted, "Ugh, fine." He rolled his eyes fondly at surrogate little brother, who looked adorable as he was glaring at him with his rosy cheeks. If only he still had his baby fat, he would've cooed at him.

Shinzo walked towards them as well as the group of kitsune who witnessed the battle. They all congratulated Raiden, while they teased Tetsuo for getting tricked couple of time by the human boy. Tetsuo growled at them, but they all laughed making the kitsune pout and like his wounds.

"Well done Raiden," Shinzo genuinely praised the boy. He was more than impressed by Raiden quick thinking and craftiness; using the forest to his advantage to bypass the disadvantage posed by Tetsuo.

After quickly introducing Raiden to the other kitsune, he led the boy, Matsu and Tetsuo aside to discuss the situation they needed to address, the meeting with the Shogun. He wasted no time in healing Raiden and mending his ripped clothes with a flick of his hands, which the boy thanked him.

Raiden quickly wrapped his bandages over his hands and dusted off his jacket before he put in on. Matsu's time was up and the Bijuu returned into Raiden with ease, the demon wolf reseal Raiden's chakra to the original 50% chakra repress.

Just as they were about to leave, Raiden remembered he need to let the Hokage know where he was going. He did, after all left the village without a note or alerting anyone where he was going. He stopped and asked Shinzo if they could possible stop and let his Hokage know. Shinzo mulled it over for couple of seconds before he agreed with Raiden.

January 30th 1992, 12:00 noon

Hokage's Office, Konohagakure, Hi no Kuni

The trio wasted no time and fire-traveled back to Konoha using Tetsuo's fire-walking, as the fire kitsune called it. Unfortunately, or fortunately, they trio managed to scare the Hokage half to death when a huge ball of fire appeared in the middle of his office. The poor ANBU were startled and scared shitless when they saw the fire appear within the Hokage's office and witness two men and the Senju Heir materialized as the fire dimmed and disappeared.

Raiden looked around and smiled sheepishly at Hebi, Tora, and Kuma who had their weapons our, ready to strike. He waved at them lamely at him and Sarutobi let out an amused snort. The three ANBU shook their heads and lowered their weapons.

"Is there a reason why you just appeared into my office in a ball of fire, Raiden?" Sarutobi asked the boy, his white eyebrow arched as he looked at the Senju heir. His eyes traveled to the two men to accompany the pre-teen.

Raiden chuckled nervously, "Err, you see umm. . ." He looking around the room, he glances at Sarutobi with pleading eyes which the elder man understood. He asked for everyone, with the exception of Kuma to step outside. As soon as the ANBU exited the office and the room was sealed, Raiden jumped into a quick debrief as to who the men are and the reason he wanted to talk to him.

Sarutobi's eyebrows raised as higher and higher as Raiden explained that the two men before him weren't actually humans, but were the Chief Kitsune and second in command of the kitsune. He eyes widen when Shinzo agreed to personally train Raiden as a Battle Mage, alongside Tetsuo, making Raiden the first Mage ever to live in Konoha, as well as kitsune sage.

"Okay, if I understand correctly, you're asking me to allow you to travel back to your home dimension to talk with the Shogun?" Sarutobi asked.

Raiden nodded, "Yes, but I also wanted to ask if you could possible come with us seeing as you are my Hokage. Or you can ask somebody you solely trust at attend to meeting with the Shogun. I personally don't know what the Shogun wants from me, aside from just talking and if I'm guessing, I'll say he would want to discuss Wizarding matters at tie me with the English Wizarding community, and magical education."

Sarutobi sighed. He knew this was going to happen eventually. But he didn't think it would be so soon. Looking through his mountain of paperwork he needed to complete he knew he needed to send someone. Looking over at Kuma, he said, "I cannot go, but Kuma will go on my stead."

Kuma saluted, "yes, sir."

Sarutobi nodded, "Alright, thank you for letting me know Raiden. I truly appreciate you being honest and I'll trust your judgment, but be mindful that I'll be expecting you to return back by Monday, you'll be starting your shinobi career and it would be a pity if you cannot continue it."

Raiden sighed, "I honestly don't want anything to do with the English Wizarding community and if it was my choice I wouldn't be thinking of going back. I love this village, no matter how idiotic the villagers might be, and I fully pledge to protect this village with my life, but I have a prophecy handing over my head that I need to deal with. It's the least I could do, my parents who died protecting me in hopes I would stop the egomaniac. "

Sarutobi understood where the boy, well pre-teen, was coming from. He was relived the boy looked at Konoha as his home and would protect it; he knew Raiden was going to be a force to be wreck with, in couple of years.

"I'm glad. Now go on, better not keep Shogun waiting any longer, and remember you're a Genin now you'll be representing Konoha."

Raiden saluted him with a sly smirk, "yes, sir."

Sarutobi laughed and shooed the boy away. He shook his head as he watched the quartet leave with ease into a ball of fire. He had to admit it was a cool way to travel.

He unsealed his room and continued working on the paperwork, with a loud suffering sigh, "Why did I agree to become the Hokage again?" He groaned loudly. Out of the corner of his eye he spots a letter on his desk. He picked it up and read whose it's addressed. A small smile crossed his face as he read to whom the letter is addressed to and placed it in his inner pocket.
