Chapter 4: Meeting Maito Gai and the Three Men Conversation

"Mokuton No Jutsu"

Kakashi watched from afar along with Sakura and Sai as Yamato trained Naruto in order to improve his skills as the blonde teenager been trained like hell for the past few days. Since Akatsuki had kidnapped Gaara couple of months ago Naruto realized that the Akatsuki are now rapidly moving in two-person team in order to search the Jinchiiruki around the five countries and so far they did not know how many that had been caught and things are getting tense at the moment not only for Naruto but for Yamato as well along with the rest of the team.

"Kakashi-sensei, do you think that Naruto will be able to complete this new technique within this given period of time?" Sakura asked they saw Naruto getting tired and tired and not only him but Yamato as well since he had been using a lot of chakra in order to refrained the Kyuubi from taking control over Naruto and to make sure that Naruto did not loss his consciousness while training.

"Oh…I believes that he will be able to do so, but I'm not sure if he can actually completed it without having so much chakra left in his body," Kakashi spoke as he watched Naruto felt on the ground, followed one by one with his clones as tiredness took over them and some even puff into smokes and disappears. They had been training for hours nonstop and there's only a little chakra left in their body. Sai and Sakura could see that Naruto is trembling badly when he tried to stand up and he hold on his knee to support his body and he is breathing heavily.

Kakashi knew that Naruto and Yamato had reached their limit for they did not stop since this morning and now it is almost late in the afternoon and none of them had left the training ground yet and they only took a very short break.

"Naruto, Yamato, I think that we should stop now. We may continue it again later, now let's go back," Kakashi called upon them as Sai and Sakura ran towards Naruto to help him. The copy nin then walked towards Yamato who is panting heavily.

"Are you alright, so how Naruto had been doing so far?" The grey-haired ninja asked as Yamato looked at him.

"He's been improving and I think that he is able create that jutsu but he had only a little chakra left but I think that he had grasped the idea of it and how to create it accordingly," Yamato informed him as Kakashi looked at his junior nin with his lazy eyes though he is impressed with the information he got.

"Hmmm…well it's good to hear that, how about yourself?" Kakashi asked as he eyed Yamato who is now standing and reversed back his wood elements into the ground.

"Well I am okay, I guess," Yamato responded.

"I think that those three can't wait to go back to Konoha, I think that we should go now and besides did you promise something to your sister," Kakashi said as he is about to leave with Yamato as the three younger shinobi are having a race among each other.

xoxoxo

Hermione had just finished baking some cookies when Yamato had arrived home along with Kakashi. Harry and Ron are in the kitchen in Yamato's flat helping her because Kakashi had sent them here earlier since the two teenagers had told him that they had no idea what to do if they got stuck in his house and if they were with Hermione at least they can have some discussion going on.

As both Yamato and Kakashi entered the house they could smell a nice smell of freshly baked cookies and their mouth begins to water.

"We're home," Yamato announced at them though he felt a little weird about it since Kakashi did not actually lived here.

"We're in the kitchen," Hermione responded as her voice came from that direction.

Yamato and Kakashi walked towards the kitchen and saw Harry had made some tea and Ron is helping Hermione with the cookies though he intend to steal some and eat it as Hermione glared at him and Ron just smirked.

"Wow…so what are we having here?" Yamato spoke as his eyes gleamed and his mouth slightly drooling over the nice smell of the newly baked cookies and he could see that Hermione had baked some chocolate chip cookies and even some butter cookies and he really missed having these as their mum often baked for them when they were young.

"We have some chocolate chip cookies and butter cookies, I've learnt it from mum and I guess that you really missed all these, I know that these are your favourites," said Hermione as she smiled at him as she put two plates of freshly baked butter cookies and chocolate chip cookies on the table, seems that she had baked a lot of them because Yamato could saw some of the cookies are yet to be baked.

"There's a lot that you have made here," Yamato spoke as he took one butter cookie and tries to eat it and he was amazed, it taste the same as how their mum had baked, seems that Hermione had inherit some talents from their mum.

"Where did you get all the ingredients?" Yamato asked as he helped himself with another cookie and offered some to Kakashi as he took one, Harry poured for Yamato and Kakashi a cup of tea each though he and Ron still wonder how is Kakashi going to drink it without removing his mask.

"Oh…I bought it from the grocery shop over there, luckily that they had all the ingredients needed," Hermione replied, smiling at him as she took out a tray of newly baked cookies from the hot oven and put it on a plate, then she put the still raw, uncooked cookies into the hot oven.

As Yamato and Kakashi helped themselves with some cookies and tea, someone's knocked on the door. Yamato was about to open it when Harry offered himself to opened the door. It was Naruto, Sai, Sakura and another man wearing a weird green spandex with weird hairstyle grinning and standing outside Yamato's flat. Sakura who was holding a basket of food, surprised to see Harry was there but then they understand that they must be accompanied Hermione when they smelt the freshly baked cookies. Harry invited them to come inside and they followed him to the kitchen and saw the newly baked cookies and seem that Ron is making more drink for them.

Yamato was surprise to see not only Naruto, Sakura or Sai but Maito Gai as well. He invited them as Naruto, Sakura and Sai looked amazed at the freshly baked cookies on the table and both Naruto and Sakura are drooling as their eyes gleamed. Harry, Hermione and Ron was no surprise of the three members of Team Kakashi but surprise to see an unknown man with them but they can guess that he must be Yamato and Kakashi's fellow shinobi.

"Hermione, Harry, Ron, I would like to introduce you to our fellow shinobi, Maito Gai," Yamato introduced to them as the man in green spandex and weird hairstyle grinned at them with a sparkling in his teeth, he had a great, white teeth and surely Hermione and Yamato's parents must be proud of it though being dentists were their fake professions.

"Hello, I am Maito Gai, but you can call me Maito and I am known as the Konoha Green Beast," Maito introduced himself with enthusiasm as the Golden Trio tried to smile despite looking at him weirdly. Naruto and Sai just smile but Sakura smacked her face, felt a little embarrassed.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Hermione, this is Harry and here is Ron. Would you like to join us for some tea, and cookies?" Hermione greeted him and invited him as she eyed her older brother who just smirked at her.

"Are you sure, I would love to," Maito spoke full of enthusiasm as he walked over them and joined Kakashi and Yamato whom at the moment enjoying their nice cup of tea. The rest of Team Kakashi joined them as Naruto and Sakura couldn't take their eyes off the cookies and as they ate it, they seem to fall in love with it.

The rest of the day had gone pretty much well for them, they had a great time over tea and cookies and some of local delicacy made exclusive by Sakura's mother for them. As evening approaches, Yamato and Hermione's guests asked permission to leave.

Later that night

"So, what's your discussion for today?" Yamato asked Hermione as they continued their brother and sister's conversation for the night.

"Nothing much, just that the two boys keep on whining about missing their loved one and how to get everything done before things getting worse," Hermione replied, this time around the two of them are having their conversation in Yamato's bedroom and Hermione could see lots of photos are framed and hanged and some even put on the table.

Hermione smiles as he looked at the photos as most of the photos are of him, him and his fellow ninjas or shinobi, him and the members of Team Kakashi, and mostly him and their family. She could see a photo of Yamato when he was a baby, another one where he was about two or three year-old with their parents and a relative and she could guess that the picture was taken here in Konoha, another picture of him, their parents and Hermione when she was just a baby, one photo was taken in Namimori along with the Sawada where the young Yamato, Hermione and little Tsuna grinned happily when the photo was taken, one photo of them and their parents when Hermione was accepted to Hogwarts, and another picture where they had a family vacation in Italy along with Dino and that was the last time they took photo together. Hermione smiled as she remembered all the memories that they had together, when the first time they met their distant relatives who seems not so distant for them because of their closeness towards one another.

"How did you get all these photos, I thought that mum and dad had kept them in the family album," Hermione asked him as he cleaned his weapons and to make sure that each of it did not have any broken edge or such. He then looked at her who seems to smile happily upon seeing all those photos.

"I had asked dad to make an extra copy for me, so that's why I had some of those photos," Yamato told her as he begins to inspect his shuriken and kunai one by one.

"I see, so I guess that these people are your fellow shinobi?" Hermione asked as she pointed to one photo of him and his fellow ninjas.

Yamato looked at the photo she had pointed, and he remembered it well, it was a photo they had taken after returning from their S class mission. He smiled at that memories because it was taken a day after their return to Konoha after being away for about two months.

"Yup, they are," he simply answered her as Hermione nodded her head slowly and smiled at it.

"Yamato, I want to ask, did your fellow shinobi, you know, Kakashi and all, knew about our family?" Hermione asked him. Yamato looked at her as Hermione walked towards him and sit next to him.

"Hmmm…nope, not really, mostly because shinobi don't share much of their family background with one another but only told them a thing or two, Kakashi never knew about our parents, about you, just like Harry and Ron and it took them by surprise when they found out that I had a sister when you first arrived here. But the Hokage, you remember, Tsunade-sama and her assistant Shizune, they know about the background of almost every shinobi in Konoha, that's why she knew who to find and who related with whom. When you first appeared here with Harry and Ron and she found out about the three of you being magic users, she knew it immediately that I should be contacted as soon as possible because she knew I had a family member that being magic user and it was you. Luckily that the three of you appear here in Konoha, if the three of you appear somewhere else then you will face a lot of trouble, I hope you still remember I've told you that interrogation done by shinobi can be deadly."

Hermione shivered after hearing it, of course she remembered it loud and clear when Yamato told her about it years ago, and that why when she apparated here with Harry and Ron she told them not to fight when they were caught by the ninjas because they can be considered as enemy if they tried to fight, especially since they possessed some power and ability that are different from any normal people.

"So, Harry and Ron already had girlfriends, what about you then, do you have anyone special in your life?" Yamato asked though he did not want to know about it because he is not sure if he is happy to hear about it either.

"No, I don't have anyone special at the moment, I'm too busy to think of having any kind of relationship while in school though I befriended a boy from different school during my fourth year and he told me he wanted more than just friendship and I told him I'm not ready for any of that, he was very frustrated but what can I do because I don't like to have a long distance relationship when he left especially if we hardly see each other," Hermione told him and Yamato could feel ease on his chest, there's no way his sister should have a relationship whatsoever while in school though he don't mind her being friend with any boys, just like Harry and Ron and he knew about them when Hermione told him about them being her only best friends while in school. Though the real reason is that he will beat any boy who dare to makes his sister cry even if he is her boyfriend.

"Good to hear that," Yamato whispered to himself.

"What about you, any special girl around here?" Hermione asked as she smirked at him.

"Me, I don't have anyone special yet at this time, I'm too busy with my missions, tasks, even trainings. I have a lot of friends, men and women but no one that truly special for me, though there's one actually," Yamato spoke as he turned his gaze at his sister who looked at him with interest.

"Really, who is it?" she asked with that glinted in her eyes.

"You," Yamato simple answer as Hermione looked at him confusedly.

"Me? Why?" Hermione seems confused about it.

"Yes you. Because you are my little sister, though you are not little anymore but for me you always does. When you were first born, I was very happy because that I won't be alone anymore even though I lived here and not with our parents back in England but I knew that when I come home I will have someone to play or share story or secret with. I even swear to myself that I will protect you from any harm or danger and I will not let anyone to make you cry. When you were still a baby I always snuck into the nursery to see you and play with you and I love to see you smile or giggle because it was the best thing to see and it makes me happy. Mum had scolded me once for disturbing you sleeping but dad told her that it actually help to strengthen the bond between us because I am your older brother and you are my little sister and I will know what my responsible is to you," Yamato spoke softly as a single tear fell from Hermione's eye.

Hermione always know that Yamato loved and cared for her but she never thought that he really loved her this much and willing to do anything to protect her. She remembered when every time Yamato came home after given permission by the Hokage, she didn't knew it by that time but always heard about it from her parents, she was the most happiest person ever because she can have her only brother, sibling and best friend back. He often told her stories about Konoha though she hardly knew about it but listened to him attentively and paid full attention to him and then got the chance to came here once few years before she was accepted to Hogwarts. She remembered him protecting her from a bully when she was still in kindergarten and that bully didn't dare to do it again. She smiled to think about it again and again. Even though now she got Harry and Ron as her best friends, Yamato was always the best among them.

"Do you remember our playhouse, the one dad built for us when we were still young?" Hermione asked as he gazed at her and smile.

"Yeah, I still remember that, we often played there until late in the evening and mum had to yelled at us telling us to come home and because of that we often late for dinner," Yamato smiled and giggled as he remembered about it.

"The playhouse still standing strong even if had been years now, and dad had built another one exactly at our family secret mansion, but this one is a tree house and it is lot bigger than our playhouse. Dad had built it for us because he said that it will bring great memories about it," Hermione informed him as he looked at her in disbelieved.

"Really, are you serious?" Yamato asked as his eyes blinked a couple of time.

"Yeah, I've been there twice, at first mum scolded him because she knew that I'm afraid of height but dad said that it is the only way for me to face my fear, luckily the tree house is not that high, just around 15 feet above the ground.

"A tree house yea can't wait to see it. So Mia, do you still afraid of height?" Yamato intended to tease her as he smirked evilly.

"Nope, not anymore I'm afraid, after the Battle at the Ministry where I had to fly behind a thestral and flew with that creature again when we had to retrieved Harry from Privet Drive, I don't think that I'm afraid of height anymore, I think that I can handle it pretty well now and Harry and Ron did not like it because they can't tease me anymore about it," Hermione said as she smiled at herself and Yamato groaned, he too lost the chance to tease her again.

Hermione laugh to see how frustrated her brother is after losing a chance to tease her. Yamato glares at her at first but later joined her as he laughed as well.

xoxoxo

Harry and Ron are staying together in one room in Kakashi's house. The two of them still thinking about how and the kind of method that Yamato will teach them in order to learn to control their mind from being invaded. Ron had come out with several ridiculous ideas such as eating weird things, had something being put on their head and such but Harry simply brush it. Then Ron begins to whine about missing Lavender and his family and wonder about their being at the moment.

It was really hard to think of that at the moment but Harry too can't help but to think about Ginny and the Weasley and Hogwarts. He knew that they had to find the Horcruxes fast but right now they are stranded in a foreign soil not knowing where they are exactly and what surprised him the most is that he just found out that Hermione, his best friend, had a brother who lived here and he was a shinobi and was part of elite squad here in Konoha. And the three of them are not allowed to leave since that they are not strong enough, physically or mentally, to continue their current mission and Yamato, Hermione's older brother, had offered to help and train them so that they will be well prepare for any upcoming danger. But now the three of them are asked to take a good rest to restore back their lose energy but Harry felt that they actually had no time for this because they had been wasting time here when they are supposed to seek and destroy the Horcruxes. But then he was wrong for he had no idea where to find them and still had problem to destroy the one Horcrux in their possession. He was still thinking deeply when he heard a knock on the door as Ron go and opened it to see Kakashi standing outside.

"Yo…"

"Ummm….Hey," Harry responded and Ron only nodded.

"Are you two okay?" Kakashi asked them as Harry and Ron looked at each other wondering why Kakashi asked like that.

"Yeah, we're fine," Ron said to him as Kakashi slightly grin behind his mask.

"Good to hear, I just want to know if the two of you still had problem trying to accept our help since that we are a total strangers to all of you though Hermione got Yamato here," Kakashi spoke as he walked inside the room, Ron and Harry sit next to each other while Kakashi just stood there watching them.

Harry did not know what to say, he wanted to accept yet at the same time he wanted to decline though he had agreed with Yamato's offer but still think that they shouldn't be involved with this mess. He did not want to put others in danger because of him, enough that he already had Ron and Hermione with though he was very thankful to have them with him. He was their leader though he didn't see himself as one but they trusted him, he is The-Boy-Who-Lived, the one mentioned in the prophecy that will destroys Voldemort, and they are supposed to destroy the one Horcrux that currently in their hand and find the remaining Horcruxes and do the same so that they are able to kill and destroys Voldemort for good. But then they are here, in a foreign place where they had no idea where and met Hermione older brother and his fellow teammate who offers to help them. He was grateful with their offers but he knew that time will run out if they didn't start it immediately. He had no idea how long they will hold them here but Yamato was right, they can go back to their mission if they are fully recovered physically and mentally, and Harry knew that somehow along the way he can trust him even he had just met him and still surprise and shocked after found out that he is Hermione's older brother since she had never told them about him before, he guess that he now know why.

"Well, to be honest, we thought that at first we really did not want others to get involves with this problem, that's why we left with only the three of us sticks together because of the danger and we did not want to put others in it. We had been running from our enemy from one place to another. We had found out about our school being controlled by three Death Eaters with one being our Headmaster and two being teachers there and they had fully controlled the Ministry so we had to live in the wild. Then a few days ago we were chased by a group of Snatchers who work for the Death Eaters and we knew that we had to run fast because they had outnumbered us and we had almost reach a dead end when Hermione grabbed us and apparated us here. And then you found us and you know the rest."

"Apparated, what is that?" Kakashi questioned them.

"It means that you disappear from one place and appear in other place, but you must think and know the place you choose to appear clearly. I think that Hermione might know about this place so that's why we apparated here, or by right she choose to apparated us here, because she knew that at least we are safe here from our enemy." Harry explained to him and Ron agrees. Kakashi just stood there listening to them.

"Hermione is the brightest witch of our age and she knew spells, jinxes, charms and even potions more than any of us. She often got humiliated and insulted by one of our sworn enemy, Draco Malfoy who was a son of a Death Eater for being a muggleborn, he even jinxed her once and got her teeth grew big and it really hurts her. Luckily Madame Promfey had managed to fix it for her. But Hermione is strong and brave and often think quickly when we were in trouble. In fact she is the one who always saved us from trouble. And she loved reading too because books are part of her life." Ron told Kakashi about their sole female best friend, the brain behind the trio. Kakashi knew that if Yamato find out about that Draco Malfoy had done horrible things to her he will definitely have him killed.

"She punched Malfoy once during our third year, served him right for being a horrible person," Harry spoke as both he and Ron laughed while Kakashi looked pretty amused to hear it.

"Guess that Yamato is very lucky to have her as a sister," Kakashi told them as the two teenagers nodded agreed with him.

"Still I cannot believed that Hermione had an older brother because she never told us about it, so we always assumed that she is the only child in her family," Ron spoke as Kakashi and Harry looked at him.

"Yeah, I always thought that you are the only one with many siblings among the three of us with Hermione and me being an only child but now I think that I'm the only one without any sibling. And I think I know why Hermione never told us about Yamato," Harry spoke and this got both Kakashi and Ron's attention.

"Really, what do you have in mind Harry?" Ron asked because he really wanted to know as Kakashi observed them.

"First of all, it is because of Yamato's profession, it is very rare to hear about one person being a shinobi or ninja back in England, mostly we knew about it from movie that we watched in television so we thought that it is just an entertainment but never came across our mind that this profession truly exist, and secondly is because Yamato lived here, not in England."

"But Charlie lived in Romania, and he's a dragon tamer," Ron interrupted.

"What… a dragon what, say it again?" Kakashi asked as he was surprised to hear it.

"A dragon tamer, dragons exist in the Wizarding world and Charlie, one of my older brothers, is working with dragons in Romania," Ron told him as Harry nodded his head.

Kakashi looked amazed, or lost, as both Harry and Ron had no idea about it, and it goes the same to them about shinobi and such, especially Harry because he knew what is shinobi or ninja but never thought that it exists.

"Kakashi, I know you may be surprise to find out about dragon been exist in our world, right? It goes the same to us about shinobi or ninja. Guess that there's a lot that we should learn about," Harry spoke, Ron and Kakashi nodded agree.

"Yeah, seems that you are right about it. Sometimes we only think about what we had seen here and never try to discovers what is actually had been stored for us out there," Kakashi spoke as Harry and Ron looked at him and admitted that he is right about it. They had never though that there's other things for them to discover outside the Wizarding world.

"Tell me about you," Kakashi asked them as the two wizards looked at each other and back to Kakashi as Ron started to tell him about himself and his family. The second youngest among the Weasley siblings told Kakashi with enthusiasm about his family and Harry seconded it, telling the copy nin how glad he is to be part of the Weasley. Then Harry told about his and how he had grown up to be neglected by his own relatives but found salvation among the Weasley and Hermione and how both Ron and Hermione had become his best friends.

The three of them did not speak a word for a few minutes when Kakashi tell them that they should stop and take a rest for the night so that the two teenagers will able to recover their lost energy back and the sooner the better so that they can start their training pretty soon. They wishes each other a goodnight as Kakashi left their room and go back to his. There are a lot of things playing in his mind at the moment but he too knows that he should give a rest about it.

"How are their conditions at the moment?" Yamato asked the nurse as he brought the Golden Trio for their second check-up and now waiting for the result since that the three of them had been staying at home for the last three day without doing anything heavy or such.

"Their conditions had tremendously improved and they are getting lot better, I guess that they took their rest seriously and now they had gained their energy and health back so they are free and able to do any heavy work or such," the nurse responded to his question and Yamato looked calm to hear about it.

"Guess that we can start our training now," his mind spoke to himself as he eyed the three teenagers who are ready to leave the hospital. He had left the training ground and left Kakashi to be in charge of Naruto with Sakura and Sai to assist him. He thanked the nurse and then left with the Golden Trio tagging along behind him.

"Okay then, do the three of you wants to follow me somewhere?" Yamato asked them as they left the hospital ground. Hermione, Harry and Ron looked at each other and then turned to Yamato as they nodded their head, agree to follow him.

"Where to if I may ask?" Ron asked as they begin to follow Yamato.

"To our training ground, I had to check on Naruto to see his progress," Yamato informed them. Hermione and Harry could tell that Naruto maybe had some training going on.

"Okay, what is he doing there?" Ron asked again as Hermione and Harry rolled their eyes. Haven't Ron got the idea yet.

"He is currently doing a special training, and Kakashi and I are in charge for that. At the moment I had left Kakashi to be in charge and Sakura and Sai are there to help him," Yamato told them as the Golden Trio followed him closely as they entered into the forest.

The four of them walked in silent along the way there and when they had reached an open area, the Golden Trio had the shock of their life to see not one but many Narutos on the training ground with Kakashi, Sakura and Sai watching over them. Each Naruto is currently doing God know what but they can see that he, or they, are panting and sweating heavily. Some of them had even felt on the ground, tired while some still struggling because Hermione, Harry and Ron could see that each Naruto is paired with another Naruto to creates something as small form of blue spiral begins to form but then some begin to fade. Yamato turned to Hermione and smile at her. Hermione could guess that this is what Yamato had told her earlier some time ago about each ninja or shinobi having their own ability and now she guess that these are the abilities that Naruto possessed. And she even remembered Yamato had told her about his own abilities and elements that he possessed but he never showed to her once.

Harry and Ron couldn't say a word as they are still shocks and amazed with what they are currently see in their own eyes and watched it with full interest. Surely this world is full of surprise.

xoxoxo

Kakashi had seen Naruto struggled badly to improve his new jutsu and so far he had only managed a bit of it. But knowing Naruto he won't gave up. As he watched over him with Sakura and Sai looked awe at their fellow teammate he could sense that there's someone else watching over and turned to see Yamato along with Hermione, Harry and Ron. He could see that Harry and Ron were amazed at what they are currently seeing while Hermione seems to be astonished at the sight.

Kakashi saw Yamato whispered something to Hermione and he admit that he is pretty jealous of their relationship even though he knew that they are siblings. He had never seen Yamato like this before in his life because he knew that Yamato is a very serious person, loyal too and he had seen him relaxed once in a while but he had never seen him to be very protective of anyone before. He then see them coming towards him as Harry and Ron follow them slowly though their eyes still fixed on Naruto.

"Kakashi-senpai, how's Naruto doing so far?" Yamato spoke as they arrived there while Kakashi lying lazily on a wooden bench with his Icha Icha book in his hand.

"He's doing pretty okay," Kakashi replied as he slightly glanced at Hermione, luckily that Yamato didn't notice it.

The five of them watched over the scene in front of them. The Golden Trio seems to be amazed with the spirit shown by Naruto and wished that they could have the same spirit possessed by the blonde teenager.

It was almost late in the evening that they decided to stop the training and go home. Harry and Ron had asked Naruto non-stop about his ability and jutsu and even asked Sai about his ability. Sakura had a girl-to-girl conversation with Hermione since that the two of them are the only sole young women in their own group. Yamato and Kakashi walked behind them smiling to hear the group of teenagers who hardly knew each other having a nice conversation as if they already been friends for so long.

xoxoxo

"Hello everyone, so how's your training Naruto-kun," Maito greeted them when they arrived at the town.

"Good," answered Naruto tiredly.

"Oh….good to hear, I think that I want to train my team much harder after this. Anyway Hermione-san, thank you for the cookies, it was very delicious and I hope that you can bake it again," said Maito with a full grin in his face while Hermione fidgeted as she laughed a little.

"Ha ha ha…thank you, I will let you know," her responds as Harry and Ron snorted quietly, tries to not to laugh as they covered their mouth with their hands.

Yamato and Sakura sighed, Sai just smile as he always does while Kakashi just looked at them and at the same time steal some glances at Hermione who seems a little embarrassed. Naruto who looked tired just now, agreed with Maito immediately and even tell Hermione to make sure to invites him if she planned of baked some of those cookies again.

Harry and Ron had considered the ninjas except Yamato are lucky that they haven't met with Hermione's bad temper or worst met the end of her wand, but then they could sense that her bad temper had slowly eased since last year. They remembered from the first time they met and became her best friends until now and realize that she had change so much especially during on their sixth year and while on the run. They guess that it got something to do with hormones as they were all grown up. And the two boys had realized how much their friend had grown and they admitted that she is actually beautiful and they are proud of her and even prouder that she is like their own sister and family.

"Well, I think that I want to go and get something to eat before going home, what about if we go to Ichiraku Ramen?" Naruto suggested to them.

"Okay, okay, to Ichiraku Ramen then," Kakashi spoke as all of them agreed though Hermione, Harry and Ron had no idea what it is.

Along the way the Golden Trio begins to think about their upcoming training and wonder if they will ever master it before time running out. They know that their training won't take a short time to finish but they hope that it will bring a great impact on them.

Finally, just finished the fourth chapter XD

I still had no idea of who to pair Hermione with, but in my mind I was thinking of choosing either Kakashi or Fred Weasley or George Weasley or even Oliver Wood, though I'm not actually sure about having Hermione to pair with Oliver. I would have Sai as one their friends but there's no way and NEVER WILL paired Hermione with Draco or Krum or Blaise or any of the Death Eaters, but I was thinking of the Varia.

Dino is out of the question because he is Hermione and Yamato's cousin, though he was their distant cousin, and the Vongola are younger than her and Tsuna is their cousin too.

I'm totally lost here.
