Alright. Here is the next chapter of Diplomatic Relations. A thank you to the people who reviewed. Honestly, I wasn't expecting any for the first chapter. But, thank you anyway.

*Read Author's Note

Note: I own nothing, as much as I wished I did

Minato called Kakashi and Rin to his office to explain the situation to them. There was a bit of doubt, of course, at first. Mainly from Kakashi. Though it was hard to blame him. It was hard to even believe magic was real. But, he was eventually mostly convinced and that was good enough. He would believe fully when he actually saw some magic.

Rin, on the other hand, believed Minato when he explained it to her. She knew that there was no reason that their sensei would lie to them. Not about something so serious. Plus, she was excited to be going.

She couldn't wait to see how their medicine and healing techniques differed from the ones used here in Konoha. Another part she really wanted to see was the potions part. From what she understood, someone didn't need magic to be able to brew potions. Therefore, there should be no harm in her sitting in on a few classes, right? At least, she hoped so. She wanted to learn all she could to better help the village.

They spent the next three weeks learning what they could about the language, since it differed so much from their own. Kakashi was able to get it down pretty quickly with what information they had to go on. Minato and Rin, not so fast. But they got most of it.

While learning the language, which Sarutobi helped them with, the Sandaime told him what he knew of the wizards culture as well so that they will be better prepared when they arrived.

Before they knew it, it was time for them to leave. They were agreed to meet at the Hokage's tower where Minato would wait for them.

Rin was the first to arrive.

"Good morning, sensei." She said, smiling at Minato.

"Good morning Rin. Kakashi should be here soon." She couldn't help but give him a look that said otherwise. "I told him to be on time.. For once." He continued at that.

And sure enough, Kakashi arrived just a few minutes later. Minato gave him a big grin.

"Now that we are all here, we can get ready to go. But first, there is one stop we need to make." He told them, but said no more. He just jumped out the window, knowing they would follow.

Kakashi and Rin exchanged a look, wondering where he was going but both having a good idea of where as they followed him. And sure enough, he had led them to the Memorial Stone.

"We should say goodbye to Obito first." He explained to them when they arrived behind him.

Rin stepped forward and kneeled before the stone, silent for a moment.

"Well, Obito. Kashi, Sensei, and I are going to be gone for a while. I'm sure Kakashi's already told you, but we are going to a school of magic. I know that this is something you definitely would have enjoyed. So, I put your favorite pair of googles in my bag, so you could see it too." She told him, a small smile forming on her face. The googles where the only thing of his that she had wanted to keep after the war. A way to keep him close. She stayed kneeling for a moment longer before stepping back and letting the others say something as well.

Minato stepped forward next and rested a hand against the stone, above Obito's name.

"There really isn't much more to say. I think Rin said basically all there was to say. I'm just going to say this one thing. I'll definitely bring you back something that you would enjoy when we return."

Kakashi didn't step forward towards the stone. He was fine where he was. But, he hand did go up to cover his left eye, where the Sharingan resided. He agreed with Rin. Where they were going is definitely some place that Obito would have enjoyed going. So, he made a mental note to expose the eye sometime while they were there, so his friend could see too.

"Goodbye Obito. We'll be back before you know it." He told him.

With their goodbyes done, Minato stood with his students, watching them for a moment before smiling.

"Let's go!"

He did some hands signs, having the foresight to have Sarutobi send Albus the seal he needed to use his transportation technique, and they were gone.

Harry stood outside with Ron and Hermione, watching the foreign students arrived. Both ways had been pretty impressive. But what he, and probably most of the students, wanted to see was the Hokage person arrive. Dumbledore hadn't really told them anything about the people who were coming, so everybody was curious. He had even overheard Malfoy talking about it once.

Next to him, Hermione was standing on her toes, looking around. Out of everybody here, she was probably the most curious.

But, nobody else was arriving. That much was obvious when Dumbledore started herding the students back inside. They all went slowly, still looking around.

The students entered the Great Hall and sat at their tables. The foreign students came in after a few minutes and both schools put on a small performance. A few students were talking about Victor Krum and how great it was that he was here, Ron included.

But soon, all the foreign students were seated and everybody turned to Dumbledore, expecting him to start talking and hopefully explain why the Hokage guy wasn't coming.

Dumbledore stood in front of the teacher's table, looking out at all the students, a sparkle in his eye. He could tell they were wondering where their other guests were, but before he could say anything; there was a whirlwind of leaves before him. When they cleared away, there was three people standing before him.*

Alrighty. Next chapter is complete. This took a while. I knew what I wanted to put, but putting it into words was harder. I hope this lived up to your expectations~

This chapter was about 1,000 words, which is what I'm hoping to average for each chapter. I want each one to be at least that, hopefully more. But, there may be times when it will be shorter and for that apologize.

*Anybody who could tell me which episode of Naruto I got this from will get a shout-out in the next chapter.
