CHAPTER 002: Peace or Pain

It had been an hour in which, Ms. Figg, Harry, and Naruto sat down for twenty questions and tea. While playing twenty questions Harry and Ms. Figg noticed Naruto starting to look a little pale so Ms. Figg offered the girl the chance to shower, even going as far to ask if she wanted her clothes washed. Naruto wasn't slow on the answer she only took off her elaborate trench saying that the other clothes can go because she has spares. Nodding Ms. Figg gingerly took hold of the flashy jacket, taking notice that miraculously it didn't have a hole in the back where Naruto's wound was previously, before showing the girl to her bath room. Nodding in thanks Naruto closed the door with a small click, resting her back against the wooden door with a sigh she slid down the door wrapping her arms around her legs and bearing her head in her arms. Sitting there for a good minute she finally got up and stripped out of her dirty and bloody clothes. Naruto bit her thumb and swiped it against a concealed containment seal on her arm unsealing a small blue scroll, opening the scroll quickly new clothes showed up with a poof from the scroll, she set her new clothes off to the side on the toilet before sealing the ruined clothes back into the scroll with a puff then proceeding to reseal the scroll into the containment seal on her arm. She hopped into the shower, hoping that a nice warm shower would help put her mind away from the feeling of anger and anguish that were currently swirling in her thoughts, and making her feel like her current situation was never going to get better. She turned on the hot water, feeling slightly fatigue she was quick to shower after her head started to feel fuzzy and her sight started to blur. She stumbled over the tube side to the bathroom mirror and as she looked into the mirror her eyes widened when she saw her hair that naturally blond was now a midnight black, her eyes also being the same color making her look like a Uchiha before suddenly as fast as the black hair and eyes came they were gone replaced with snow white hair and eyes like that of the Hyuuga clan, she was completely albino at this point and fear jittered through her body at not knowing what was going on with her body and appearance, especially when she looked down near to her left breast was in exactly the same spot where Sasuke had stuck his chidori not once but twice into her chest now was a bluish scar shaped into this perfect circle the size of a fist with bright blue spider webbed marks growing around it to the edge of her back and down her breast to at least the nipple making it look like a snowflake. Brushing her fingers along the scar it was rough, it was a flat and smooth as her own skin.

'What the fuck happened to my appearance Kurama!?'Naruto screamed in hear head in surprise, having a hard time standing up because it felt like all the strength she had was literally being sucked away from her.

'Well that's an interesting development; it seems that since I am sealed with in you, you inherited quite a bit of skills from me. One of those skills being a shape shifter, here it's called Metamorphmagus. When I was here I was considered one, but unlike the normal Metamorphmagus here who can only change into humanoid forms, you can change into animal forms also, it was considered a blessing just to be a Metamorphmagus but also have Animagus skills on top of it. So it seems that even in this dimension you have crazy luck at things. I'm going to send my chakra into you, make the process go faster to just get it done and over with otherwise it might take hours to be done. Technically you're supposed to be asleep during this process so not to cause harm to yourself but you were woken up so that made a difference.' Kurama explained to his jailor.

'What about these weird markings on my chest?'

'That is from the Uchiha's chidori that you took to the chest, when we got here your body had not fully adjusted so I wasn't able to heal you up right away only keep your heart breathing, so unfortunately when it did heal up it couldn't heal up the memory scars of the event you probably will never get rid of it.'

'I see...' She touched the scars in though 'Go ahead and do what you can to speed up the process, I can't stand feeling this weak, especially in unknown territory.' She gave him the go head while leaning on the sink so she wouldn't end up on the floor in a heap of useless flesh.

Kurama simply sent his chakra into her system, commanding the DNA that was mutating at a slow rate to quicken up and be finished. This process took about five minutes and was agonizing on Naruto because it felt like her body was on fire, her skin actually turned a bright red with steam floating off her body before turning back to its normal tan coloration. She didn't complain because she's had a lot worse, but as she stood up and looked to her reflection and flinched back in shock seeing hair down her back to just past her ass, it was in messy layers and flaming red on top with the hair layered underneath its normal blond, her eyes were now a combination of her sage mode and ultimate Kyuubi form. 'Kurama explain why I look like this now….' She was stunned and was trying very hard not to scream in anger even though with the red hair she saw the resemblance between herself and her mother Kushina.

The Kyuubi was quiet for a few moments as if contemplating how to say whatever he was about to say, 'It would seem that when I forced the mutation to quicken it latched onto the little bits of DNA that still inhabits my chakra and made it so my DNA was infused with yours. It'll take me a bit to figure out exactly what happened with your body but for now so no one gets suspicious I'll use my limited control over your chakra and body to make you look like as you did before with your shape shifter ability, seeing how you have no clue how to control the shape shifting.'

Naruto sighed and proceeded to rub her temples to reduce the headache coming on with the complicity of all that was happening in a situation that was already complicated to begin with. This time when she looked back into the mirror she saw the reflection she's known for years but with the added spider web and moon shaped scar on her chest. Sighing in relief she continued with getting dressed.

While Naruto was having issues in the bath room Harry was having his own complicated thoughts in the same spot where Ms. Figg and Naruto left him. He sat in the chair with an aspirated look on his face. While it was obvious that the girl was suffering he had a hard time believing that she was a female Ninja Aka a kunoichi as she put it from another dimension. This state of disbelief coming from a wizard prophesized to save the world of all people. While he was in deeply entrenched in his thoughts he didn't even realize that a half an hour passed and while he was dazed out Naruto had gotten dressed and grabbed her jacket from the washer was now standing in front of the mentally vexed boy with a blank look. Finally getting tired of waiting for the boy to take notice of her, she flicked him hard between the eyes. Yelping in both pain and shock he jumped back a red mark between his eyes where Naruto flicked him.

"What you do that for!?" He asked offended at the assaulting of his personal space.

"You're a very easy person to read Harry-san. You don't believe me even though you yourself are a person who lives in an unbelievable world." Harry looked at her in shock, jaw slacked, 'How'd she know I was a wizard!?' Naruto shook her head both at the fact that Harry was not able to believe that someone in his situation wouldn't be able to believe in hers and the fact that he didn't think he would figure out that there was something not exactly normal with the two people that helped her. "Now that I'm finished with my shower and got my coat, why don't we take your cousin back to your guy's house? On the way there you can tell me a bit about yourself if you wish. Seeing how I'm stuck here it is best if I know someone to rely on and seeing how Auntie Figg is a non-magical basically that leaves you. Not too many choices for me to choose from."

While Harry felt both surprised and insulted at her open honesty on her situation he overlooked it because for some reason he felt shame about his reluctance to believe her story. Standing up he went over to his still unconscious cousin, as he attempted to heft the bigger boy into a sitting position he didn't even have the strength to do that. Naruto watched in amusement and disbelief at how weak the younger boy was.

'He's fucking with me right Kurama? He can't POSSIBLY be that fucking weak can he?' She asked her semi-friend in all seriousness.

'Unfortunately he is. You see here wizard and witches do not need to be physically fit in their mind, they tend to rely solely on their magic, even when they play a sport called Quidditch they simply ride brooms there is no actual physical work unless you are in the position of hitting a magical ball of pain called a bludger. Think of it as Gai put in a ball.' Kurama and Naruto both shuddered at the thought of another Gai or Lee even ball form. 'Plus the boy seems malnourished for someone his age, I suggest you help him because he seems to need it, but hey it's up to you.'

Sighing she walked over, moved Harry off to the side before hefting the boy he was just having trouble simply getting him to sit up military style over her shoulder like he was nothing. She looked over at Harry to see surprise and disbelief written on his face, "You gunna show me the way or simply stand there collecting flies?" Getting out of his stupor he left through the front door, checking to make sure that neither his aunt nor uncle trip was home from their day trip to the spa he motioned for Naruto to follow him to a tan house with a brown shingled roof. She looked at the house in boredom as Harry unlocked the front door to let them in. When they got inside, Naruto placed Dudley on a couch in a heap, not too concerned about the boy. While Harry felt awkward around the blond, he felt even more so after he caught himself staring at her ass through the pair of tight blue jeans that replaced the slightly baggy orange pants she was wearing before. It took some control to turn away from staring at her, his pale face flushed at in both embarrassment and resentment for his hormones. Unbeknownst to Harry, Naruto knew he was staring at her but simply didn't give a shit. She wasn't angry or embarrassed by his actions in the slightest because of her travels with her sensei and godfather Jiraiya who didn't want her to be like the other Kunoichi who were stupid to their sexuality. Good thing Tsunade doesn't know that Naruto was good friends with many brothel girls or she would have killed Jiraiya herself.

Sighing Naruto looked to the flustered teenager, "How about we go to your room and have a chat about what's going to happen? That sound like a good plan to you Harry-san?" While it was made out to be a question, Naruto still frustrated at how weak Harry was physically made it out to sound more like a command, then a suggestion. So Harry stiffened, nodded and basically robot walked up the stairs to a room furthest from all the others. Naruto took notice of that little fact but decided to ignore it because it wasn't any of her business. Once in the room, Naruto stopped at the entrance of the room and observed everything that was in the tiny room, which felt more like a walk in closet then a room. A simple bed, clothes drawer off to the side and a desk with a wooden bird perch that currently had a snowy white owl on it that was looking at her with curiosity. The window was open, and laying on Harry's simple bed was a tan envelope and once they got close it came to life with purple lips and make shift eyes and started to talk startling the hell out of Naruto, "Dear Mr. potter the ministry has received intelligence that at six twenty three this evening you performed the patronus charm in the presence of a muggle, as a clear violation of the decree for the reasonable restriction of underage magic you are here by expelled from Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry. I hope this letter finds you well…." Harry snatched the letter from the air not letting it finish, hands slightly shaking; his fear and anxiety clearly showing on his face as he ripped the red seal off the lip of the letter. While Naruto noticed his anxiety and obvious anger being good at reading people since she was young she decided that he would tell her most likely when he was ready, so she decided to get to know the owl that continued to stare at her with lots of curiosity. It had been a few minutes where she attempted to get friendly with the white owl, when both heard a yell of rage from the dark haired boy. Looking over to Harry she saw he was shaking, his knuckles were turning white in anger as he attempted to obliterate the parchment in his angry eyes and hands. Curiosity getting the better of her, Naruto used her shinobi skill to substitute the parchment in Harry's hand with a book on the desk. This switch between a practically weightless parchment and heavy ass text book scared Harry enough for him to drop the large substituted book on his toe making him yelp in pain and jump up clutching his foot. Naruto shook her head in amusement before looking down at the parchment. She raised an eye brow at the contents of the letter before questioning Kurama about it.

'What does it mean he's expelled?' Naruto didn't know the situation with the Dementors seeing as she had dropped in after the event and was conveniently knocked out during the time. 'But from what I've read from this letter they have already made up their mind that Harry is some sort of criminal of underage magic, which kind of seems silly for them to have a rule against doing magic which is part of a person at a younger age. Could you imagine if the Hokage banned the use of chakra until you graduate? There would be no improvement what so ever in the shinobi ranks really.'

'Ah yes now I remember why I didn't like the wizarding world it was because they were cowards who didn't like hearing the truth about how shitty their ministry is. You see Naruto they have in power people who do not care about truth or fairness, they only care about not being detected by muggles and their cozy little life styles, what a bunch of bigoted idiots. Last I was here they had just appointed a man by the name of Fudge, foolish man who would probably bring the end of the ministry. I met him once before I left, I personally didn't like him much so I decided to light his ass on fire in one of his meetings then go home. From there, I happened to end up home just before Madara and the first Senju Hokage fought then one thing lead to another and I got sealed in Mito, then Kushina, and now you. Don't you feel special?' Though angry at not being able to go home to help defeat and kill the last of the Uchihas he still held some humor to make the situation seem less bleak.

Naruto shook her head in slight amusement at her friend before looking at Harry who had stopped jumping around like an idiot and now was sitting on the bed in a slumped position, his body shaking in anger. Deciding to help the boy she sat next to him the bed groaning under the weight of the two teens, "I can help ya know."

Harry sat there in silence before looking up to the girl apprehensively, "How can you help?"

She looked at him, her eyes showed seriousness; "First before I even go into how I can help. I have a question; in this world do you want to bring peace or pain?"

Harry was startled by the question, never was he asked what he wanted to do with this world, it had always been from the beginning he was Gryffindor golden boy, the prophecy boy who was to save the world. Even though he doesn't have his parents with expectations for him, he still tries to live up to the expectations of everyone else puts on him so not to lose friends or what little family he had and truthfully he felt like he was Closter phobic all the time because he felt like he wasn't being him, he was being what everyone else wanted him to be or expected him to be like. While he contemplated and organized his thoughts, Naruto waited for an answer, she wasn't expecting an answer right away because when she saw the initial shock of being asked what he wanted. Naruto at how much the two teens lives seemed to be alike in terms of being a prophecy child but that's where it ended, Naruto was never forced into a prochecy like Harry was hers just happened how it was supposed to happen, and while she was about to daze out to wait for an answer she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked over to see Harry's once dull eyes lit up with fiery determination an when he answered the question there was no hesitation or doubt in his voice. "I just want this madness to end. I do not want for another child to suffer the way I did by living up to the prophecy that just continues with war and hate. I want to be my own person and being my own person means stopping the pre-justice, hate and misunderstanding of the wizarding world. So to answer your question yes I want to cause peace in this world I call home. That is my decision as Harry potter, not the boy-who-live, or the prophesy child."

Naruto smirked, 'I think I might come to like this guy.' She felt a jolt of agreement from her friend from within. Standing up in a quick fashion startled Harry but as he looked up at her and saw the real show of emotion for the first time. "Well Harry Potter my first decision as a resident of this world is to help you with your goal and dream. No if, ands, or buts about it, you don't have a chose with this one you're stuck with me."

Startled at first at the blond's declaration, his smirk soon matched the magnitude of hers, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
