Mist Country

A man and woman were fleeing through the forests towards Fire Country. Their Kage had started a bloodlimit genocide, which the Umino's were against and so to avoid the death sentence were now running for their lives. Together they had decided that Fire Country was their best chance. It was during a brief rest that they heard it. A baby crying. Kisa Umino turned pleading eyes on her husband of six years Hiro. He nodded and they went to investigate.

"Hiro over here!" called Kisa urgently.

When Hiro joined his wife, he found himself looking at a baby laying in a puddle of singed and blood stained clothes. A pouch was around his neck, for they could easily tell it was a boy. The babe was covered in scars and so very thin. The features that drew both Umino's attention however where the bright green eyes that seemed to glow and the lightening bolt shaped scar on its forehead.

Hiro made a quick decision, "Grab the boy Kisa. We need to leave. We can only assume he was left here to die after his family was killed. I'll caste a permanent henge on him later to make him look more like us. I..am correct in assuming you want to keep him?"

"With all my heart." Kisa whispered scooping up the babe. And then they took off. They ran into enemy ninja only once, but before Hiro could finish them off a shuriken cut the baby across the face. Dividing it perfectly in half. Fearing for the child's life the two Umino's raced faster towards Konohagakure, reaching the gate in the predawn light and banging frantically on the gate to summon the guards.

"What business do Mist ninja have here?"

"Please! Please let us in. Our baby has been injured and we are mist ninja no longer. Please if you love life at all let us in and heal our son!" Kisa wept.

The two gate guards were taken aback when they saw the babe with blood running down its face. Acting quickly they transported the Umino's and baby to the Hospital where they took them to a room.

"I'll have to ask you to stay here, while my partner gets a medic and alerts the Hokage. No funny business!" warned one while the other took off. Not even three minutes later a medic came running. As she was finishing the Yondaime Minato stepped into the room. The medic bowed and left. Kisa picked up Harry and Hiro edged closer to them. Their eyes were weary as they looked at Minato. After all he could have the killed.

"My ninja have informed me that two mist ninja have come to my village and I would like to know why."

"May we speak privately and freely Hokage-sama?" asked Hiro bowing low.

Minato nodded and sealed the room, "You may go on."

Hiro spoke, "Our names are Kisa and Hiro Umino. The babe does not have a name that we know. We came to your village because the Misukage of Mist has decided to 'cleanse' the land of bloodlimits. We did not agree with this and he ordered our deaths. We escaped and came here to hopefully find peace."

"Where did the boy come from?"

Kisa answered, "We found him in the woods surrounded by singed and blood stained clothes with only the pouch around his neck. We assumed he had been left there to die and so we took him with us. We were later attacked and a shuriken slashed his face. Thus bring us here."

Minato closed his eyes and pondered then opening them he asked the Umino's, "What do you plan to do with the boy? And what were you planning to do here in Konoha?"

"We would like to adopt him. And if you let us stay we would like to become ninja's of your village."

"I cannot allow you to be official ninja's of Konoha. However the babe could if he wants too. If I were to instate you officially as ninja's Mist could demand I hand you over and declare war if I don't. Do you have any other things you are good at?"

"Well we were both teachers. I could teach Math and Kisa could teach history. Neither of those are required to be taught by ninjas."

"That'll work. Now what do you want to call the boy? I can officially allow you to adopt him now if you like."

"Iruka." Kisa said.

"Dolphin?" Minato asked.

"Well a few years ago my wife and I were sailing and a storm blew up unexpectedly. We were saved by dolphins. So we decided is we ever had a child to name them Iruka." Hiro explained.

Minato smiled and nodded. And so Harry Potter became Iruka Umino.

*And that's it for now! No worries more to come later!
