Chapter Five: Flashbacks

The blonde man turned his attention towards the boy's general direction, wearing a surprised look before masking it with a gentle and bemused look stretching ear to ear. The tension within the air began to vanish as Harry continued to look upon him in shock.

"Oh. So your awake?" The tone was colored and filled with amusement and teasing as his blue orbs danced with mirth. "I was wondering when you'd be stirring, I'm glad to see that you're alright." Looking away from and focusing his his concentration on Naruto. "Unfortunately, the circumstances that have occurred has rendered him unconscious. I am at a loss of what to do, the after effects causing the coma is foreign to me."

Harry continued to stare. "F-foreign, sir?"

"Sorry!" The Yondaime grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "You probably have no idea what is happening to him either." The smile quickly vanished just as it had appeared only his eyes made any movement checking the room cautiously. "That woman... Madum? No Madeeum? No, that's not quite right." Frowning rather handsomely the man's tongue bean to sound out the word slowly, as Harry looked at him with empathy fully understanding what the Yondaime was going through. Learning foreign language was difficult, let alone speaking it. "That medic-nin, where did she go?"

"Madam Pomfrey," Harry said with a smile. "Either went to go and get some more potions or went to the Headmaster's office and give him our status of our condition." It was rather strange of Madam Pomfrey to leave while she had patients laying in her Infirmary. Then again, it was the beginning of the year so was plausible for her not to be expecting injuries (Or him) so early. Suddenly he had started to feel rather guilty while glancing towards the side with a nervous smile on his face. He could already her the woman's lecturing tone. "... I hope the others are alright."

"They are fine." The Yondaime answered catching his attention, Harry's head snapped towards him while the man gave him a soft fatherly smile. "They are currently in the Headmaster's office trying to figure out what exactly happened for these events to have transpired." His lips pressed thinly together as an unreadable look glazed over the man's face. "Nonetheless what is done, is done."

... Why did he feel like he was suddenly be scowled by a parent?

"...Yondaime-sama-"

"Minato."

"Huh?"

"My name." The Hokage answered calmly giving Harry a soft look. "My name is Namikaze Minato. It's a pleasure to meet you, Harry-kun." The man smiled while waving at him rather cheerfully watching as the boy stared at him stunned for several seconds before giving his head a rough shake.

"H-how did you-?"

"Your friends told me." Minato answered whimsically, as his hand waved rather dismissively. "After those things in black," His voice held venom and coldness on levels of which Harry had never heard before. "Before retreating back to the castle, and well," Gesturing to himself. "Here we are."

Harry frowned. It felt like the man had omitted some parts to that or merely was dodging it. "How do I know you're telling the truth, Minato-san?" His words controlled while his eyes remained on him stoically. "As far as anyone knows, your buried six feet under."

Minato smirked. "So suspicious, a good trait to have in our line of work." Nodding approvingly, as Harry felt the orbs pierce straight into his soul. "Judging by your body, you'd be an illusionist or are you something more? The chakra I feel from you feels differently, nothing malicious I assure you." Catching the panic look upon the boy's face. "But the flow of your Chakra is different, is it because your a wizard?"

"... Should I be concerned?" 'And how do you know that?' Harry thought to himself uncertainty the way Minato had talk made his skin crawl, as if the man was giving him a warning of sorts. The idea of his Chakra being different or effected by the use of his own magic never really occurred to him at all, nor the fact the possibility of it hindering the grow of his chakra. A mental note to talk with Iruka-sensei later on about it.

Minato looked thoughtful. "I don't believe it should cause any problems to you."

"That's good." Harry sighed with relief. "Have you had experience with... wizards before?"

The blonde man nodded. "When I was a Jounin, but before having a Genin team, I meet a one. A young girl, she ended up saving my life." Smiling nostalgically as his eyes glazed over fondly. "She was quite the fire cracker, if I recall. Powerful, stubborn and had one hell of a right hook for a civilian." Musing rather fondly at the memory, Minato seemed to be rather content with memory. "She was quite a woman, that Lily Potter."

Harry gapped.

To say that Iruka was amused would be a down right lie. In fact, the only good thing about the entire mission had been meeting and training Harry, other then that everything else seemed to annoy or push the usually calm Shinobi straight to the breaking point. Everything that Iruka could have possibly happened had derailed and out of control something that the Chuunin had no other option then to improvise and deal with damage control, and fast. His eyes glanced towards Raidou, whom looked like he was ready to break at any moment. The usually stoic and proper man's eyes were conflicted with several emotions that Iruka had placed into categories within his mind, as his heart went out straight towards the man.

The Chuunin had absolutely no idea what the man was going through.

"Report." Genma's lips clicked staring at the conscious Genin, Asuma was being treated by Anko-with absolute pleasure and glee at the frightened and bewildered man's face. The lazy-like Jounin was torn between being tired and annoyed glancing worriedly at his lover while still retaining as professional role in front of the lower ranking Shinobi. Hayate was at the door keeping an eye on it incase of an emergency as well as using his Chakra to keep track of Harry, Naruto and... the man. It wasn't something that Genma wanted to deal or even think about as he stared emotionlessly at them. "Now."

Yakumo, seemed to be the only one with a backbone at the moment. "Well..." struggling to get her words together. "It happened like this Shiranui-san..."

Shikamaru was bent over checking on the unconscious and injured Asuma, that was laying on the ground. "No vital points have been cut, only a few scratches here and there." Murmuring under his breathing casting an annoyed look at the shattered door, glass spreading around the floor with some jabbed into his teacher's body. "Troublesome, you shouldn't have done that Sensei. We're doing to attract attention now."

"... How is he?" Shino responded while tearing his eyes away from Naruto and Harry, whom were both laid upon the seats still unconscious.

The Nara groaned standing up. "Seems to be be alright, should make a full recovery once he wakes up. Arugh, how troublesome, causing all of this ruckus." Letting out a small sigh, Shikamaru shook his head. "Yakumo, do you mind?" Gesturing towards the door.

"Oh!" The red haired girl pipped up, blushing before quickly making some hand seals and murmuring something under her breath. The feel of her chakra began to spread across the compartment creating an illusion making the scene vanish with a blink of an eye, replacing with a calm pleasant seen by those looking into the room. Letting out a breath, she whipped her forehead using her elbow grinning slightly. "Is that good, Nara-san?"

"Ah. That's good," Shikamaru replied with a sharp nod.

Shino pushed his glasses up. "What a predicament."

"It can't be helped," Yuushi retorted his arms folded upon his chest turning his gaze towards the younger Genin. "What we needed to do, and is get these two some medical attention, and quick. Sarutobi-sensei looks like he'll be fine, he just needs some simply bandaging up." Glancing at the girl. "Yakumo?"

The girl nodded, grabbing her small pouch and opening it revealing some. "I also have disinfection as well for the wounds." Walking over towards the man as Shikamaru stepped aside as the girl went to work as the three boys looked at each other and sighed.

"Need to figure out a plan in order to avoid looking and causing any suspicion towards us or anyone else." Shino spoke up calmly. "Avoiding a panic and hysteria would be a necessary priority if we are to succeed in our mission to get to this Hogwarts place and hand the scroll to Iruka-sensei."

"Problem kiddies?"

Two young boys stood at the door, wearing chester like grins on their faces while observing them closely. Shikamaru narrowed his eyes looking at the sudden intrusion, trying to recall exactly where he had seen these two before only for his mind to come up blankly. The boy on the left was grinning widely with his eyes closed, bandages on his chin and each side of his cheeks, his body covered with one of those stupid wizard cloaks he had seen being wore by the students of the school. A rather stupid formality, and dangerous to wear. It was like they were asking to be killed. However, Shino had also been able to see the large anchors on the boy's back that was hidden by the clock as the other boy with the brunette hair had knives hidden within his sleeves, smiling rather pleasantly.

"Kiddies?" Naruto repeated angrily pointing at them. "If anyone should be called a kid, it should be you two!"

The blonde's protest was utterly ignored as the brunette took a step forward provoking Yuushi to grip the tip of his axe. His eyes trained upon the small boy. "You know," The brunette began lazily waving his hand around. "The trees sure are small this year, the dolphin told me."

"The dolphin?" Shikamaru repeated absolutely confused. "What are you-"

"IRUKA-SENSEI!" Naruto cut him off with a giant whoop in the air, grinning ear to ear.

Yakumo was a bit taken back by the outburst. "N-Naruto!"

"How do you know it's Iruka-sensei, Naruto?" Yuushi asked, still uncertain to trust these two anomalies.

The hyperactive Shinobi grinned. "Because, Iruka-sensei's name means Dolphin! And 'the trees are sure small this year' are what he always says when he sees new ones." Nodding with pride, happy at the fact he was able to connect things together while being oblivious to the slack-jawed stares he was receiving from his team mates. "So where is Iruka-sensei anyway?"

"He's up at Hogwarts." The spiky haired boy answered, pointing towards that general direction. "He's with the others. Izumo and I were given the task of posing as students, just in case." Quickly doing a hand sign, the two boy were surrounded by smoke and replaced by two tall men, looking older then their younger counterparts with noticeable differences. "Hagane Kotetsu, nice to meet you."

"Kamizuki Izumo," The other man introduced wearing a grin before it instantly vanished while gazing at the unconscious two, pressing his lips together only to glance stoically at the group of Genin. "What happened?"

"Those black things..." Yakumo wrapped her arms around her body, shuddering. "Came in here...and..." her voice trailed off as the girl shut her eyes, struggling to explain what had exactly happened to them. The cold was the only thing that was she had been able to recall and the feeling of fright, and the inability to keep herself happy. It felt like a black hole, trying to suck her in and consume fully.

Izumo looked at his partner. "We shouldn't be too far off from Hogwarts, now are we?"

"We should be closing in." The other man confirmed with a stiff nod. Quickly making a hand sign, he once again turned into his genin self only to be followed by Izumo. Sharply turning around the boy glanced outside of the compartment carefully opening the door, to make certain that no one was there. "Alright, I'll go and talk with the nurse on the train. You guys stay here, alright?" Giving a wave, Kotetsu ran off leaving them to look after the two unconscious comrades.

Shikamaru let out an insufferable, "Troublesome."

"Excuse me?" A rather familiar and slightly irritating female voice spoke up, the tone was concerned but held a bit of a bossiness in it. Izumo had tried to keep the girl out only for her to push past him, the girl was the one from the platform and had the red haired boy, another round and timid looking boy behind her. There was also another man, looking tired and absolutely exhausted as if he had just gotta into a fight only to lose horrible, judging by the rags that man called clothes it looked like he had been through a lot. His amber eyes glancing around them, observing every single detail. The man's eyes resembled that of the Inuzuka clan, Shikamaru had noted instantly. It was sharp and feral like, but like the overall intimidation and canine like instinct.

It made Shikamaru wondered who this guy was, and why his eyes were like that.

"HARRY!" The bushy haired girl quickly rushed past them, pushing straight through Shino and a bewildered Yuushi. The girl held the boy up carefully trying not to open any injuries, placing her ear against the boy's chest, letting out a sigh of relief before turning her attention upon them. "Who are you and what did you do to him!"

"Us?" Naruto snapped back, angrily. "We didn't do anything to him!"

The timid boy looked down. "D-don't jump to conclusions Hermione, we don't know anything or what happened. It could have been the Dementors!"

"Dementors?" Shikamaru repeated slowly, not use to the word. A strange feeling in his stomach acknowledge what the boy was referring to, sincerely hoping that the kid was wrong.

The Weasley, Shikamaru had at least remembered the boy's clan name looked at him funny. "Ya, those black cloaked things. They guard the prison Azkaban, dunno what they're doing here on the train. I guess they reckoned that Sirius Black was on the train, haven't the foggiest why."

"Good to know," Shino responded flatly.

Yuushi rolled his eyes. "Why are you four even in here anyway?"

"Professor Lupin is checking every compartment, apparently the Dementors have been stalking every single one." Hermione elaborated, while flipping her hair. "He's checking to make sure that the students that were effected the most to be brought to the Infirmary upon arrival at Hogwarts. So far, it seems only Harry and umm..." Looking at Asuma. "Him, have been the only ones heavily effected by the Dementors." Getting up off of her feet, the girl patted her skirt turning towards the Professor. "Should I send Pig to Hogwarts sir in advanced?"

The man smiled, tiredly. "That would be most beneficial, Ms. Granger." The girl nodded, grabbing the two boys and pulling them out of the compartment. "Now then, how are the rest of your fairing?"

"I'm fine!" Naruto chirped happily, sending a punch straight into the air while grinning widely.

Yakumo shrugged. "I'm alright, thank you for asking." Bowing politely at the man.

"Here." Was Yuushi's distant reply, crossing his arms and glaring at the wall.

Shikamaru shrugged. "Troublesome."

"I am fine." Was the bug-clan user's stoic and forced reply, slightly irritated that his personal bubble had been invaded by an unknown. He was uncertain whether or not that this man was a threat or simply and truly concerned for them, Shino had yet to adjust to the strange new world, or it's ways.

"Here. Eat." The man, only known as Professor, held out some chocolate.

"Chocolate?" Shikamaru asked skeptically.

Naruto grinned. "Thanks! Itadakimasu!"

"Chocolate has healing properties in order to combat the effects of Dementors," The man elaborated while spreading around the chocolate to the reluctant and distrustful pre-teens, with the exception of Naruto. Each of them eyed the eatable sustain watching as the blonde beamed happily after consuming said food, whether or not there had been no reaction to it there was still not enough reason for them to eat it. "Hermione should be back soon."

"Thank god," Yuushi murmured dryly, looking at the window.

Naruto grinned. "Well that's good," Grinning at the back of his head while still gripping his stomach rather tightly, the pain had originally started out small but now was begin to pulse stronger and stronger with each passing second. The others had already noticed, much to his dismay. "I'm fine, really!" Forcing a smile upon his lips.

"The main is coming from your stomach, right?" The professor asked without receiving a response, already making his way over towards the blonde. Kneeling down, "Here let me take a look-"

"NO!" Naruto's hand instantly slapped the man's way in anger-like fright, backing away from him with a strange look in his eye.

"N-Naruto!" Shikamaru was able to get out, still stunned by the blonde's sudden action. This DEFINITELY wasn't the Naruto he had grown up with over the years, just what exactly happened during his time between the exam and graduation anyway?

Yuushi, on the other hand looked at the younger boy with sympathy. 'Battle wounds?'

"Naruto, you shouldn't have done that." Yakumo scolded the boy, with a frown glaring at the boy. Shaking her head with displeasure, the young Genjutsu user looked at the man with a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry for Naruto's behavior, sir. He usually doesn't act like this, so please don't take this as offensive."

Izumo, on the other hand left out a sigh of relief. 'Oh thank god!'

Unfortunately, his reaction did not go unnoticed by Shikamaru or Shino, both whom exchanged a long look.

It wasn't until much later did Hermione, and later on Kotetsu returned to the compartment. If that wasn't enough, a growing tension between the two groups had started to form faster then Jiraiya-sama could run away after getting caught on his 'researching' expeditions. The other two; Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom had tried to start up a conversation with Naruto and Yuushi, only for an argument to break out between the blonde and redhead much to Yuushi's annoyance and Neville's embarrassment while Yakumo only had solace of seeking some female companionship with Hermione. The two of them share one common thing: Being the only female within a large group of males.

It was a wonder how they managed to survive for so long.

Asuma and Harry had been moved over on to the seats, laying them carefully face up waiting for someone to come and check on them. Unfortunately, Kotetsu had been unable to locate the nurse or any type of medical knowledge or experience.

Just what type of school where they running! Not having medical user on the train was just ASKING for the train to be attacked! They would definitely be passing this information straight to Iruka and later forward it to the Hokage, this was simply unacceptable. Plus, it made their job seem so... so...

Demanding.

What type of parent would send their children to such a sub-par school?

"Looks like were here," The professor remarked standing him, sending look towards the group while smiling rather tiredly. "Do you mind helping me? I'm not as strong as I'm used to be." As he went over and flipped Asuma over his back, carefully adjusting the man to suit his seize.

Hermione quickly leaped to her feet as she went to aid Harry, only for Yuushi to pick him up with easy. The girl sent the teen a surprise look, in which the Shinobi ignored or simply didn't even notice as he calmly followed the older man's example while quietly and diligently following the professor out of the compartment, only to be greeted by Hagrid whom had seen the state that boy and Asuma had fallen under only to give them critical instructions to head straight to the carriages and head to directly to the Infirmary-much to the amusement to Izumo and Kotetsu and to the confusion, to the side of Hermione's and Ron's snorting.

"Argh!" Naruto grunted out, still gripping his stomach. Setting themselves straight onto the carriages, spitting into groups: Izumo was settled into their carriage along with Shikamaru, Shino, Yakumo, Neville and Hermione. Ron, had the unfortunately been placed with Kotetsu, Yuushi Asuma, Harry and the Professor, keeping an eye on the unconscious males while having Kotetsu helping him move the two of them upon arrival. The frightened and distrustful glances shared between the two wand-users hadn't been lost on either Shinobi present, nonetheless figuring out the cause of what happened and remedying the problem not to mention dealing with these so-called wizards. Shikamaru had left out a sigh of relief, not one of them had noticed the trashed room or had even commented on it. Yakumo's Genjutsu skills were proficient.

Then again...

Onyx orbs glanced at the wizards. 'Or maybe they simply didn't comment on it'. Either way, this entire thing was far too troublesome.

"N-Naruto!" A gasp came from Yakumo's lips as the blonde boy fell straight to his knees wrapping his arms around his stomach, the red haired girl kneeled beside him holding on to him as the rest of the group ended up looking on in confusion and bewilderment.

"Oi! What seems to be the problem over there?" The Professor's voice echoed through the wind only to be utterly ignored by the frantic members of the other carriage. The distance between the two was quite a gap and was unable to see that far away.

"N-Naruto..." Shikamaru bite on his lip, struggling to figure out what was wrong with his team mate only to watch as the hyperactive ninja continued to groan in unmatched pain. The symptoms that boy was going through was utterly lost on him and had absolutely no idea of what to do or how to act in this situation.

"HIs Chakra is acting weird." Shino spoke up calmly, slightly unnerved judging from the stance of his eyebrows and ruffled jacket. His tone low enough so that only Shikamaru could hear. "My Kikai are frightened by the measure of chakra coming off of him, they said that it feels familiar to them."

"Family?" Shikamaru repeated confused.

Yakumo wasn't even paying any attention since she had been fussing over the blonde. "I... I can't sense pin point anything! It's all over the place?"

"What's all over the place and what's going on?" Hermione asked disturbed and confused, regarding the girl with a strange look in her eye moving over on Naruto's other side. "What exactly are you talking about? Maybe Neville and I can help."

Shikamaru resisted the urge to groan. "You can't, so don't bother." This was one of the reasons why he didn't like interacting with civilians, they think that they could help when they couldn't. Overall, civilians should simply stay out of a Shinobi's way and remain silent. A rather cynical and rather bias view, he would definitely admit however it was necessary. Gritting his teeth while toning out the screaming tones of the banshee woman, he focused his attention on the struggling blonde as he felt the bile in his stomach beginning to make it's way straight to the surface. Blood began to escape from Naruto's eyes and mouth, slipping straight down to the floor as the blonde's screams had slowly began to cease but the whimpering remained.

"SHIKAMRU!" Yakumo screamed.

Shikamaru snapped at her. "I KNOW ALRIGHT! I FUCKING KNOW. JUST CALM DOWN!" THe girl was taken back by the foul language he had used as the Nara tried to grip with the situation at hand, ignoring the fact that Izumo was watching with an emotionless look on his face and a kunai being twirled within his hand. 'Damn it... what... what do I do?'

"S...Shika..." Naruto's painful cry was enough for the Nara to snap back to reality, watching as the bright blue orbs were beginning to dull with each passing second. A smile slowly began to spread across his face, albite, a small yet sorrowful one that spoke with no regrets. "I..."

"Naruto?" Shikamaru felt his blood ran cold, as the carriages had stopped abruptly upon the gates of Hogwarts as the moon hanged above them in the dark night sky. The blood that laid on the floor of the carriage remained shining brightly underneath the rays of the moon, as the students managed to make their way up to the school paying no attention to the group or the bleeding boy that seemed to have been rendered unconscious. At least that's all Shikamaru had been hoping unable to tear his eyes away from the suddenly still and quite blonde.

"We need to get him to the infirmary." Yakumo decided sharply ignoring the looks she was getting. "YUUSHI! KOTETSU!"

The weapon master, raised an eyebrow while carrying Harry and moved over to them. His eyes widened at the sudden state the blonde was in. "What the hell happened here!"

"We don't know!" Yakumo replied utterly focusing her attention on the blonde, still frowning.

"My WORD!" A woman with a thick accent boomed, turning around they saw an old looking woman with a strict face stare at them with horror before snapping back into a professional state and quickly maneuvered past them. "Out of my way, let me take a look at him!" She quickly pushed Yakumo out of the way. Kneeling down her eyes shifted quickly immediately taking in all the injures that were visible before snapping her head back towards the door. "Pomfrey!"

Another woman appeared closely behind. "Another one?" The maid looking woman pressed her lips together before whirling her attention towards the professor. "Don't be standing there!" Her voice chipped looking at him as if the man had grown another head. "Get them to the infirmary." The man blinked in surprised. "NOW!"

"Oh...oh! Right-o." The professor quickly snapped back into reality before taking Asuma straight inside of the building with no haste.

The woman turned at Yuushi. "What are you waiting for? Go!"

"Yes Ma'am!" Not wanting to piss off the woman, the teenager quickly obeyed and went inside carrying Harry.

"What happened?" The woman in the maid outfit asked sharply.

Shikamaru blinked. "Umm... err..."

"Speak up, child. We haven't got all night, now." The woman was clearly in her elemental.

"He started bleeding Madam Pomfrey." Hermione instantly answered the woman as Shikamaru sent her a death glare, which she had righteously ignored. "There was no warning of it, at all!" Fear and worry were evident in her voice as she glanced at the boy. "What do we do?"

"Leave to me, Miss Granger." Madam Pomfrey answered as the Scottish woman had taken a back seat. "Minerva?"

The other woman, nodded. "Of course." Nodding curtly turning her attention towards the others. "Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Longbottom please head to the Great Hall I shall deal with you just a moment."

"But-" Ron had began to protest.

"Now." The woman's word was cool as ice.

Hermione complied utterly while dragging the other boys in tow, Neville had shot Shikamaru and the others a tiny smile before disappearing into the darkness of the hall.

"I take it your back up Shinobi from Konoha." It wasn't a question, rather a statement. Waving her hand like a gesture. "Follow me now, I'll take you straight to Headmaster Dumbledore's office. I believe your teacher, Umino-sensei has been waiting for your arrival."

"Thanks." Shikamaru nodded curtly back at her. Absolutely wanting to get inside and find out what the hell was exactly going on and rectify it. It was far too troublesome to deal with it all now, ignoring the guilty that had been building up inside of him. "I'll carry Naruto-"

The moment he had stepped past the first stone of the hall, a burst of chakra had emitted from the blonde surrounding them in a sinister and resonate light. It as different from any other type of Chakra he had ever felt or been taught, it was like a ball filled with natural Chakra stemmed from nature it's self, it was so strong that the threads and lines of it were visible to the naked eye forming into something. The light was enough to blind one-if not all of the, hadn't they not be careful enough. The threads and line of the chakra began to overlap one another forming into that of a body while the light wrapped around said body while it began to die, leaving nothing but a tall man with spiky blonde hair with a long white coat with flame style on it.

The man's face was hidden with in the darkness, holding Naruto close to his chest.

"Naruto... you've grown." The man's gentle voice echoed through the wind, eyeing the boy softly.

It was Yakumo, whom had spoke first. "Y-Yondaime,...sama?"

"H-How do you know Naruto's name?" Kotetsu was able to stutter out as Izumo stated wide eyed at the figure.

The man, identified as the Yondaime turned and smiled at them. "What kind of father would I be, if I didn't know my son's own name?"

"...And that's what happened Iruka-sensei."

Iruka placed his hand over his face. "Well that's just perfect."

"Can we leave?" Harry asked.

Pomfrey looked at him. "No."

"How about now?"

"No."

"Okay... now?"

"No, Mr. Potter."

"When can I leave?"

"When I say you can, Mr. Potter."

"Oh, so now then?"

"No."

"Are you sure I can't leave?"

"Very sure."

Harry pouted while Pomfrey smiled, as Minato watched the scenario utterly amused. The two got along quite well, similar to him and Jirayia-sensei actually.

"Speaking of leaving, Mr. Potter." Pomfrey began as she went over to her desk, pulling out several books. "Normally, I would have waited until you were old enough to take my class-however, it seems to me that you will need it when the time comes." Placing the books by Harry's side. "Then again, it doesn't surprise me given what you've been through this summer."

Unreadable look appeared over Harry's face. "You're not going to stop me?"

"No. That is not something for me to decide," Madam Pomfrey replied curly looking somewhat offended. "You've chosen your path, Harry and I must say that it's about damn time you did something." Sitting down beside him, "Words can not describe how proud I am of you to have taken the path of a Shinobi-and that of a medical career. Granted, I am not at all thrilled with the fact you will be plunged into danger," Giving Harry a disapproving look. "But, this is your decision I have no right to question or judge you." Smiling softly, placing her hand upon his shoulder. "But I have a feeling this... this is exactly what suits you Harry. That's why I let you into my Healing course."

"Despite the fact I'm a third year?"

Pomfrey nodded. "Despite that, besides." Waving her hand, "I noticed that you dropped some courses."

"Ehe... you saw that?" Harry rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, while Minato continued to watching them.

The healer eyed him. "Let's just say... I was able to persuade Dumbledore into telling me." the strange smile upon her lips was enough to petrify anyone, as Harry exchanged a long look with Minato, whom shook his head. It was best not to ask or dive deeper. "Speaking of which... I think someone wants to talk to you."

"What do you mean?" Harry began curiously, as he turned his head.

Ron and Hermione stood there, looking at him. Oh...

This wasn't going to be pleasant.

Chapter five-end.

Short chapter is short. First off, I apologize for my lack of updating if you've read my RoJ:R you know the reason why; if not then I shall tell you: My mother was recently admitted into the hospital and has once back, yet again. I wanted to get this chapter out so that all of you understand that, also the fact that I will update WHEN I am able to. So please be patient and don't badger me for updates, thanks!

RedValentino: From my general understanding of Chakra, is that anyone can really use a certain element of Chakra however some Elemental Affinities are more often then not their trademark fighting ability and the fact that having an elemental chakra means being able to work with it easier then the other elemental chakras and actually create new Jutsu's through it. Also, I really hope that Kishimoto does do a one-shot with all the Jinchuuriki, that would be really nice to see and get a viewing on their personalities and pasts.

yeah9fun: Oh! I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to happen, hope you're alright! -huggles- Err... about the previous chapter, let's just say there was miscommunication between my beta and I... and... yeah. No worries though, we're communicating now.

Ireadtomuch: Hmmm... maybe :D but you have given me a great idea! Thanks XD. And I'm glad that you approve of Harry's over all description.

DarkNeko 4000: You'll have to read to find out.

xXxOtAkU-444xXx: Thanks! Glad that you like it.

Kittenishone: Naruto's and Harry's interaction and relationship, is definitely going to be rather interesting. Oh and thanks! I'll get back to you when I get the chance!

KekouanTheWhiteWolf: Oh, thanks! Honestly, for Harry I think he would either make a great Male! Yoruichi, Male! Tsunade or Another Mukuro (KHR) in terms of his abilities. It really depends upon how the author writes and builds up the character, I also despite the fact that wizard = weak, physically or otherwise. That seems to be a growing theme within HP xovers which I quite disagree with and find really irritating to read. That and uke = girl. Seriously, who the hell came up with that? Anyway regarding Kiba... err... yeah, I can't really say, but you WILL like for what I have in store. I promise that. Ron and Hermione, oy... that's going to be interesting to write...

dude45: Yes, yes they are. I am heavily disappointed with the lack of minor-character love.

ArrancarMadien: Thanks! I hope you'll stick around for more!

917brat: Oh, it won't be just those... oh no, I plan on going deeper! Well Remus has appeared in this chapter, just not named which will be explained later on. Dumbledore, well, it depends on your view and thoughts on him which will be divulge deeper as the story goes on.

Mazentius: Err... sorry, and I really hope that you don't mind for this chapter since it IS unbeta, though for obvious reasons why if you read the note. As for the second beta position, i WILL get back to you on that all I ask is just please be patient. Thanks!

Moonlight-girl19: I LOVE Iruka, he is my favorite character in Naruto. No joke. That and the fact, I really don't like Kakashi all that much despite him in Shippuuden, behind the scenes I think Iruka did a lot more then what was implied in the manga since Naruto still seems to trust and look to him for advice. And I'll try not to discontinue this, though I do have other fics I have to work on XD.

autumnannette19: You'll see XD.

Exodiano: Thanks you! -blushes- I'm glad you approved. I'm doing everything in my power to avoid making Yuushi a Gary-Sue or over powerful, so if it seems that may please inform me so I can rectify it! And also avoid OCCness as well would be nice... Thanks!

Alec McDowell: I find myself face palming and groaning whenever I see another 'Ninjas go and protect to Hogwarts...' it's the same old, same old. Plus it's canon pairings or the HPverse is looked down upon, I just... it frustrates me no matter how good the writing is. It turns me off the fic completely. Harry is something whom I percieve as hating to be weak but wanting to help others off the field of combat, so I chose a medical-nin. Also, only Yuushi is an OC. Yakumo is actually a filler character from the Naruto Filler Saga's, a Kunoichi heiress... and that's all I'm going to say so I won't spoil it. I actually prefer Naruto and Harry a friends, rather then lovers. I don't really know why though, but I think it's more beneficial for both of them to remain friends. Kiba... hehehe... I have plans for him, so look forward to it!

Arfa: Thanks!

Decided pairings: See chapter 1.

Other crossover idea:

30 Minutes: Location? Japan. School? Ouran. Objective? Assassination. It was a normal life in the day of Harry Potter. Ouran/HP/CATHERINE crossover, slash. Mori/Harry
