Chapter Four: Schooling

Hiashi watched with his byakugan the glorious mayhem Naruto caused. His newly adopted son, Naruto, which he proudly proclaimed to anyone near.

Now he stood, staring out of his office window watching the results of Naruto's genius prank unfold. The first few days with Naruto, Hiashi tried to get Naruto to stop his pranks. He wanted Naruto to be serious. Adopted son or not, Hiashi couldn't have Naruto besmirching the family name.

But Naruto revealed to him that his powers were magic. At first Hiashi thought it was another one of Naruto's pranks. But when he looked more closer at Naruto's chakra coils, he noticed that there was something extra. Something that everyone else didn't have.

Naruto did indeed have magic.

Hiashi knew enough about magic, as he once had a close friend who was a wizard.

So he did know that magic was different than chakra. It was more supernatural. It was more destructive, if used properly. It could be used for things that regular ninjas could never do with chakra. And most importantly it was powerful.

However, Hiashi hadn't seen another wizard since his friend left Konoha. Yet Naruto showed up using the same spells that his friend once used. And he even had that cloak that would annoy him to no end. Where he got it, Hiashi didn't ask. But he had his suspicions.

Comparing Naruto to his friend, he could see that Naruto was already getting very powerful, even in his young age.

Hiashi, as his guardian, had to find a way to teach Naruto, and protect him even though he himself didn't have magic.

There was village full of guinea pigs, so the only solution was to let Naruto do his pranks. Besides, Naruto was good at not getting caught. That Iruka that Naruto was so fond of probably had something to do with that.

At least those pranks would help him with his stealth, which he would need later in life if he ever wanted to ever stay alive as a ninja.

He looked at what used to be the academy, which was now a giant aquarium, complete with the students that were turned into fish. He jotted down notes in a small notebook. Magic was something that he really needed to study. Not only because of Naruto. But because Hinata and Neji were showing signs that they may magical abilities as well.

Like when his dearest Hinata went into one of her temper tantrums, and suddenly large amounts of his hair disappeared. He had to wear hats in public now.

And Neji had the uncanny ability to say things that would eventually come true, like when Neji told him that he should look into buying hats.

His hair, however would only be a small sacrifice. Having magical abilities in the family would be the greatest thing that would ever happen to the Hyuuga clan.

Naruto, Hinata, and Neji, ran back home quite unnoticed, due to his Invisibility cloak.

It was the strangest thing. After Harry had moved into Naruto's mind, Harry's Invisibility Cloak found it's way into Naruto's closet. And one day Naruto woke up and found Harry's wand beside him.

Harry told him that that was in no way normal. But Harry living in Naruto's mind, along with a demon fox wasn't normal either. "Don't ever expect anything in your life to be normal", Harry had told him.

The cloak and the wand were the two things that Harry never left without. And he had them the day he left his body for Naruto's.

Once the children got back to the house, they stood and admired their work.

"They're putting all the students that you turned into fish, into bags filled with water. Like they do at festivals." Neji said trying to keep a straight face as he always did. Then he promptly burst into peals of laughter. Naruto thought it was the most beautiful sound.

"I can see now why my brother allows you to do these pranks." Hizashi said, appearing behind them. "They are quite funny so as long you aren't the one being pranked."

"It was Neji's idea to turn the students into fish." Naruto told him. Neji blushed.

"That's my boy!" Hizashi looked at Neji proudly. "Oh, and Hiashi wants to see you three."

"Children, that was beautiful." Hiashi told the beaming trio. "Are those kids going to stay fish forever?"

Naruto laughed. "No, unfortunately." Naruto wanted revenge on those children for making the four, almost five years of his life miserable. They had no choice but to play with him now.

Hiashi sighed. "Well, not killing them was probably for the best. How did you do all of this, undetected in a building full of experienced and paranoid ninjas?"

"Hinata made the roof explode. It served as quite the distraction. Even thought it was an accident."

Hinata smiled that cute but dangerous smile. Hiashi stared mournfully at the half of the house that she managed to explode. "That's probably not going to be the last thing that you will explode. We're going to need a bigger house." Hinata laughed sheepishly.

"Very well then. So what do we do now? My children have magic and the only person who knows the most about magic is a four year old. And the person who taught you was a man named Harry Potter who died months ago."

Harry told Naruto to tell the Hyuugas that if they ever asked where he learned where he learned about magic, when Naruto begged and begged him let tell his new family about his magic. But he told Naruto that under no circumstances, that he tell the Hyuugas that Harry inside Naruto's head. "That will only get you into a pretty padded white room."

"I do hope he's in a better place." Neji said.

Inside Naruto's head, Harry aimed a kick at Kyuubi. All that did was make him snore louder. Harry grumbled.

"Naruto, can you do any magic without your wand?" Hiashi asked.

"I can sometimes, when I'm angry or sad or excited. But I can't control it."

"So we're going to need wands. I don't know anyone who makes wands here. Naruto, give me your wand."

Naruto hand Hiashi the wand. "What are you going to do with it?"

"I'm going to make some wands. Now get out of my office."

Naruto, Hinata, Neji, Hizashi, and various stared at the door to Hiashi's office curiously. Hiashi locked himself in there all night, and they could hear explosions coming from inside.

Hiashi finally emerged the next morning.

"Here, try these." Hiashi gave Naruto his wand, and Neji and Hinata several boxes. "Those are wands."

"You made wands?" Naruto asked. He was surprised. "Do they work?"

"We'll see. Hinata, use that in the part of the house that you already destroyed."

Naruto followed them. "What do we do?" Neji asked Naruto.

"I suppose you just give it a wave."

Neji picked up a wand and gave it a swish. It seemed like the right wand because he started glowing.

Hinata on the other hand didn't have such luck. With every wand she would wave, everything in its way would explode. Then she picked up the last wand. She gave it a wave and it caused a bit less damage than the others. "It seems that this one should do."

"I want to try out some spells." Neji said.

One of the clan elders pulled Hiashi aside. "The Hyuuga children have magical powers. Now there is no need for the demon brat. We should get rid of him." Unfortunately for the man, everybody heard him.

"Tarantallegra." Neji said pointing his wand at the man. He started dancing uncontrollably. Hinata poked his leg with her wand and his whole body erupted in boils.

"Naruto will be staying here." Hiashi said threateningly to anyone who still opposed him. Many of the Hyuugas fidgeted nervously.

"I'm glad that those wands work." Hizashi said. "But how did you make them?"

"It's my little secret." Hiashi winked at Naruto. "And very illegal." He said under his breath. Hinata, Neji, and Naruto looked at each other. "What does illegal mean?" Naruto asked. Neji and Hinata shrugged.

"Now, no word of this to anyone. Naruto's, Hinata's, and Neji's powers have to be a secret. No one can say anything about this, and that includes you three." Hiashi glared threateningly at Hinata, Naruto, and Neji.

"Ooooh! Daddy's wearing his angry face. That means we should really listen to what he says." Hinata whispered.

"My brother is a lunatic." Hizashi snorted.

Hiashi ignored them. "We have to keep their powers quiet. If we don't, our enemies will be swarming us. Besides, we don't want anyone to think that us Hyuugas were up to something." Hiashi pulled out his notebook. "Now Naruto, tell me about every spell you know."

Meanwhile at the ROOT base…

"Those Hyuugas are up to something." A man named Danzo said as he paced back and forth. He had a bad feeling, and he hated bad feelings. They made him paranoid.

"You three. Go spy on the Hyuugas. Find out what they are up to." Danzo said to three ANBU.

"But Danzo-sama, it is impossible to spy on Hyuugas. The last time we tried to spy on Hyuugas, half of our force got killed."

The Hyuugas always found out. The Hyuugas were strong and smart. They had the byukugan. And they had very few known weaknesses. But they did have one weakness, and the Hyuugas just recently adopted him.

Danzo turn turned to group again. "Find the Kyuubi vessel. Watch him. Find out all that you can about him and then bring him to me." Danzo thought for a moment. He looked at one of the younger members. He walked over to the boy. "What is your name, boy?"

"I don't have one, Danzo-sama."

"You have one now. It's Sai." Danzo turned back to the group standing behind him. "Take Sai with you."

The months passed and things were going well for Naruto and his new family.

The rest of the Hyuuga clan eventually started to accept him.

Naruto, Hinata, Neji progressed on their training, and unknowingly to everyone but Naruto, they got a lot of help from Harry. They were advancing much faster than regular wizards. Harry said it was due to their ninja training. Hinata and Neji were even able to activate their own byakugan.

Hiashi trained them as well. He instructed them in the Hyuuga techniques. He tried to find ways to incorporate their magical abilities with the Hyuuga techniques and he got impressive results.

And even without the byakugan, Naruto astounded them all by mastering all the techniques.

Neji started at the Academy. Naruto and Hinata would start the next year.

Naruto and Iruka were forced to spend less and less time together as Iruka started teaching at the Academy. But Iruka reminded him that he would be his teacher.

Naruto fully adjusted to his new life with his new family. He was in a place where people accepted him. He was happy. And he never wanted that happiness to end. But for some reason he could not shake the feeling that something bad would.

"Of course something bad will happen. You're training to become a ninja. People will be trying to kill you. Always expect bad things to happen. It's how I got through life." Harry told him.

Even so Naruto swore that he would protect those he loved.

It was finally time for Naruto and Hinata to enroll at the Academy. Naruto was glad because ever since Neji started going to the Academy, he hardly any time to spend with Naruto. Now Naruto could see Neji everyday.

Naruto was also excited because Iruka was going to be his teacher.

Hizashi escorted them to their first day of school. "Remember what your father told you. No waving your wands in front of the other children." Hizashi told them sternly.

"Yes, Hizashi-ojisan." Hinata and Naruto said as they crossed their fingers.

"Now have fun. Give Iruka hell."

"Yes sir!"

As per usual, all the other kids smiled at Hinata and glared at Naruto. All except for one little boy who looked at Naruto with curiosity. He looked like an Uchiha. They were usually the main victims of Naruto's pranks. Naruto took a seat next to him.

"Hi! My name is Naruto, and this is my sister Hinata." Naruto said cheerfully.

"I'm Sasuke." Sasuke stared at Naruto and then at Hinata. "You two are those Hyuugas that turned my cousin into a fish and stole my aunt's wig." Sasuke said.

"Yep, that's us. How is your cousin anyway?"

"He turned back human, but he still tends to smell like a fish and is deathly afraid of fish bowls. My father always complains about you."

"And I bet the rest of your family hates us too." Naruto chirped.

"You have no idea. We should be friends. I never liked that stupid cousin of mine anyway."

"Great! Our dad will be thrilled!" Naruto said. Hinata nodded. "We stole an Uchiha!

"Hello class, I'm Iruka-sensei." Iruka said cheerfully as he walked in. Naruto bounced excited in his seat.

"Welcome to the Ninja Academy. By the time you finish this part of your schooling, you may or may not become a ninja. Some of you may even die in the process of your schooling." Some of the students gulped. Some of those students left.

Iruka continued. "Take everything you learn here seriously, because you will need it all to survive when you are minutes from dying when you go on dangerous missions as a ninja." More students left.

"And most importantly, make friends. When you enter the cold and violent world of the ninja, you will need all the friends you can get. But be careful. Be careful of how emotionally attached to those you call friends, because all friends will eventually stab you in the back. And then you will die." Half of the class was gone now.

Iruka looked around and was satisfied. "Great! Now we can get started. Let us start with the history of how this village came to be."

The class stood outside excitedly. "Alright class. Now that you know what all of these sharp objects are, and how they are used, you are going to practice with them. Why don't we start with you Sasuke-kun. Show us how it's done."

Sasuke nervously walked to the front and picked up a kunai. Then he threw it straight at the target as hard as he could. And missed. Sasuke groaned.

"Ha! The little Uchiha isn't all that great is he." Someone said. Sasuke growled.

"He's not so smart!" Someone else said.

"I thought Uchihas were supposed to be the best.

"Now, now, be nice. None of you can do better at the first try either…" Iruka started.

"I heard that his brother is a genius. I guess someone in the family has to be the idiot!" Another boy holding a small puppy shouted. Now Sasuke looked murderous. He picked up the kunai. And he threw it at the boy. It went straight for him.

The boy back away, but the sharp object followed him at full speed, wherever he ran. He took off screaming.

"Oh dear. I better go and sort this out. Maybe I shouldn't have started with sharp and dangerous weapons on the first day." Iruka ran after the boy who was being chased by a kunai.

Sasuke stood, looking satisfied, but a little frightened and confused as well.

Naruto pulled Hinata to the side. "I think Sasuke is a wizard." Naruto whispered to Hinata.

"But daddy said that he couldn't find anyone else with abilities like ours." Hinata activated her byakugan. "Well, it seems he missed someone. Sasuke is just as sparkly as you and me. What do we do now?"

Naruto shrugged. "We take him home with us?"

Naruto, Hinata, Neji, were walking with a very confused Sasuke trailing behind them.

"What is this about?" Neji whispered to Hinata and Naruto. "Why do we have to take him home? Do his parents not want him?

"No, Sasuke is like us. We have to take him to Dad." Hinata replied.

"Like us? A Hyuuga? Your father must have been really busy." Neji said. Hinata and Naruto looked at Neji in confusion.

"Sasuke is a wizard." Naruto said. "And the man is always busy. He's always yelling at people, and giving orders, and telling people how to do his paperwork."

"Not that kind of busy. Nevermind that. Are you sure he's a wizard?"

"He's definitely a wizard. He has the magical energy like us." Hinata said.

"You know I can hear you." Sasuke said. "And what is a wizard?"

"We'll explain when we get home." Naruto told him.

"Is it because of what happened? Because I didn't do that. And even if I did, he deserved it. But it doesn't matter because I didn't do it."

"You're a wizard, Sasuke." Hiashi said.

"I am? Really? Are you sure?"

"Are you questioning my abilities?" Hiashi growled.

"No… it's just… my father told me that wizards don't exist. And what happened to your hair?"

"Of course they exist! I just told you they exist. And nothing happened to my hair." Hiashi adjusted his hat. "Uchihas." Hiashi muttered.

"We're wizards too, Neji and I. And Hinata is a witch. You have magical powers like us." Naruto said.

"So what can I do?"

"You can set things on fire!" Hinata said.

"You can turn people into chickens!" Naruto said.

"You can clean things." Neji said.

"But you will need a wand first." Hiashi said as he took out several scrolls, a measuring tape, and very large knife. "Now which arm is your wand arm?"

"I d-don't know…"

"Well we better find out." Hiashi said with a rather frightening look.

"What are you going to do with that knife?"

"Step into my office." Hiashi dragged Sasuke into his office. Several minutes later Sasuke came out looking confused. Everyone looked at him expectantly.

"What happened? What did he do?" Neji asked.

Sasuke shrugged. "How can he make a wand when he isn't a wizard?"

"It's still a mystery to us."

Several minutes later, Hiashi stepped out of his office. "Here is your wand. Take good care of it. And don't show it to anyone, or tell anyone what you can do."

"Not even my parents?"

"Especially not your parents."

"What about my brother?"

"Not your brother either. Not anyone. You have enemies everywhere who would kill to have your powers." Sasuke gulped. He nodded.

"But don't worry! We'll teach you how to use your magic." Naruto assured him. "And we won't let anyone kill you."

"Really?" Sasuke smiled, relieved.

"Yes, now take the little Uchiha back to his home, before one of the bigger ones come around here looking for their brat." Hiashi shooed them. "Run along, now before I kill the Uchiha brat myself."

Hizashi stood, leaning against the wall, staring at his brother in amusement.

"He is the only Uchiha I'm going to help." Hiashi said.

"Sure. You say that now, and before you know it you'll invite the entire clan for tea. You are getting soft."

Hiashi stayed silent.

"You are doing this Naruto, aren't you? Sasuke was the first child to befriend Naruto outside of the clan, so you felt compelled to help him so Naruto would be happy. Why do you go through such lengths to help the boy? Not that I mind. I like Naruto. I'm only curious." Again, he was met with silence.

"I won't leave you alone until I get an answer."

"I have my reasons." Hiashi finally said. "I can not tell you anymore yet. You will just have to trust me for now."

"I always do." Hizashi. "Very well. I will accept this for now. But your Naruto is only intended for my Neji, and not that Uchiha."

Hiashi sighed. He dreaded the day he would have to explain this to Naruto.

Hiashi stepped into Neji's and Naruto's room. Hiashi suggested that they at least get separated beds, but Hizashi would have it no other way, pointing out that no one else complained about the arrangement. So that was why he found Naruto and Neji snuggled up together.

Suddenly Naruto opened his eyes. However they weren't the usual blue, but a bright green.

"Follow me." Hiashi whispered softly, so as not to wake Neji. They went to Hiashi's private quarters.

"Hello Harry. I never thought I would see you again." Hiashi said warmly.

"I was wondering how long it would take you to figure out it was me in here." Harry said.

"What about Naruto? Is he…"

"There is a Naruto in here. He is fast asleep and dreaming, completely unaware of this conversation."

"What about the war? Is it over?"

"It's over. Voldemort is dead."

"But your body…"

"Was battle worn and probably rotting away somewhere."

"Harry, what happened? How are you here?"

"I don't know. I was supposed to die. But fate had other plans for me. So here I am."

"Nothing in your life will ever be normal for you, will it?"

Harry laughed. "I could say the same for you. Your old friend comes back inside the mind of the boy you decide to adopt as your son. And all of this happened because you saved me that day."

"No, this happened because you can not read a map, so instead of appearating to the hospital, you came flying through my bedroom window."

"Not that you minded. Besides, my sudden appearance kept you from becoming that body of ice and rock that your father was trying to make you into. So we all benefited from that."

Hiashi smiled. "So you are in Konoha because you have some attachment to this place. But why Naruto? Why not anyone else?"

"You know I never have any answers. Maybe it was because Naruto already has a small hole from where the Kyuubi came in."

"There is a hole in the seal?"

"A small one. But nothing can get out."

"What about the Kyuubi?"

"I don't know. He hasn't said anything because he won't wake up. As far as I know he's been like that since the day he was sealed."

Hiashi was silent for a while as he tried to take this all in. "So what do we do now?" He finally asked.

"Well, I've got nothing else to do, so I'm going to help Naruto until I can find some answers. And I think get those once the Kyuubi finally decides to wake up."
