Sage Mode and Magic Chapter 6: A New Vacation, a Harry Potter + Naruto Crossover fanfic

Admins, if I have too much 'original text' in a chapter, please give me a warning review/PM with said chapter, and please give me 12 hours to alter it. This will let me remove the questionable material without having to email your support to find out what was wrong and wait a few hours for a response, just to edit the one paragraph that got this story removed.

The reason why this chapter doesn't have a few changes from the original script is that the letters are Government Formalities. They, as well as some spoken parts in the Trial, are going to be direct quotes since they're legality phrases, not character quotes. Can you leave me a review saying whether or not having these parts is OK?

Over the following weeks, Naruto studied hard. When meals arrived, Naruto dispelled the Shadow Clones to gain their knowledge and avoid the suspicion of the inn workers. He couldn't do many of the things he read about, such as Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, and Potions, but he had his shadow clones quiz each other about those subjects and practiced every spell he could. Since he had mastered Sage Mode, he had a couple clones practiced using his wand to enter and exit Sage Mode, and to use Sage Chakra to create spells wandlessly. While he managed to do a few spells, he was worried about the slower preparation time and speed when compared to a wand-created spell, as well as concentration needed to maintain the continuous spells such as Wingardium Leviosa. Also, when he ran out of Sage Mode Chakra, the effort needed to make and maintain spells became much greater.

To counter this, Naruto tried to experiment with Magic Rasengans, like the one he and Voldemort accidentally created in the graveyard. He tried using both wand magic and wandless magic. However, the results were astounding, and Naruto quickly learned not to practice it in a small apartment. A Magic Style Rasengan was more likely to become unstable than the Wind Style Rasen-Shuriken, and did so faster. Naruto figured that since chakra was a mix of what Dumbledore called Chi and Aura, the extra Aura used in magic was enough to destabilize the chakra. After a Stinging Hex Rasengan exploded and gave the real Naruto harsh stings and swelling, as well as dispelling all the clones and destroying a good part of the room, Naruto fixed everything with the Mending Charm, went down to Tom for medical attention, and decided to postpone that area of training.

When Naruto wasn't studying, eating, or sleeping, he would sometimes leave his still studying clones, pull out the Firebolt he purchased, and ride it. Luckily, Quality Quidditch Supplies had a large back room for the purpose of practicing flying on a broom or testing out brooms you'd like to buy. It had strong Repelling Charms on the walls and ceiling, Aresto Momentum on the floor, three Quidditch hoops and a Quaffle, padded Bludgers and beater bats, and a used Snitch. For about an hour each day, he would be in that room, practicing all the positions of a Quidditch team. One of the books Dumbledore had him get was Quidditch Through the Ages, and Naruto practiced all the player tactics he could, with the help of anybody else who wanted to fly as well. Of all the tactics mentioned in the book, Naruto got pretty good at the Bludger Backbeat, created the Bludger Reversehand, mastered the Sloth Grip Roll, succeeded in basic forward/backward flying while in the Starfish and Stick (while secretly using Chakra to stick to his broom for both of the previous tricks), and got both the Transylvanian Tackle and Wronski Feint mastered to the point where he could pull out within a couple inches off either the other player or the ground.

Finally, the day came when the two months were up. When Naruto opened the door to get breakfast, he instead saw familiar faces. "Professor Dumbledore! Pa! Has it been two months already?"

"Yes is has, Naruto-boy. So tell us, how has your wizard training gotten along?"

"It's been good so far. I'm almost finished with the Fourth Year books." After that, Naruto gave what Sarutobi would call an excellent Mission Report.

After listening to his description of Naruto's training, Dumbledore spoke up. "That is good news. Some of what you have told us will be edited into the book Fukasaku and I have been working on before we publish it. Since you didn't finish in time for Sixth Year, I'll place you in the Fifth Year. Do not fret; Harry and his friends are in their fifth years as well, and may become your new roommates. With that decided, here's your new shopping list. You'll need a few more books than the ones I gave you, along with the supplies for other classes."

After scanning the list, Naruto put in into his pocket, and Dumbledore continued, "Now, about the problem with your wand. That is very curious... Tell me, have you ever practiced magic while you had no Shadow Clones studying or doing magic?"

Thinking back, Naruto replied "No. What does that have to do with it?"

Dumbledore then smiled. "Why don't you try a first year spell right now, with no active Shadow Clones."

Surprised, Naruto then turned to a stray Spell Target on his bed. "FLIPENDO!" What should have only been strong enough to knock back only the target became a disaster. That entire bed looked like an invisible train had ran through the room and into the wall! When Naruto thought it couldn't get any worse, the wall behind the bed fell back into the other room! "WHOA! WHY'D THAT HAPPEN?"

Pa had figured it out by then, and decided to explain it to Naruto while Dumbledore cleaned up the mess he had ordered. "Naruto-boy, when you use Shadow Clones, your chakra splits among them, right?"

Naruto then thought a little, and realized he was right. "So what does my chakra have to do with my wand?"

Pa then beamed. "Naruto-boy, when you split your chakra, you must have also split your wand's power! When you are split in ten, your spells are ten times weaker. It's like when you share a pie with friends, you also give them part of the whipped cream on top in the middle."

Surprised at this revelation, Naruto realized how many Shadow Clones he was working with and beamed. "So, does that mean I'm an ultimate super powerful wizard?" With that thought, Naruto started bouncing off the walls, almost literally. "YAHOOO! I'm gonna be the best Wizard Hokage the universe has ever seen, believe it! All the leaders of the other villages will have to bow before my power! I almost can't believe I'm gonna be that awesome!"

Seeing that Naruto was getting too pumped up and hyper, Dumbledore stepped in. "That is indeed possible, Naruto. However, while you're in school, you have to tone down the power of your spells. We had one boy who would supercharge his spells so much, his wand couldn't handle them and the spells exploded in his face. You don't want that to happen to you. Now, why don't you try again, but with less force?"

Hearing that he could blow himself up, Naruto's high spirits quickly sank. "OK Professor. Flipendo." This time, only focusing a little and saying the incantation softly, he succeeded in knocking the target properly, without creating a dent in anything. "Look professor, I can do it! I won't blow up!"

"Indeed. Now, since Fukasaku and I have some business to finish later today, why don't you buy your equipment and meet us back here? After you're all packed, I can Apparate you to Harry's house, where you can stay the day. Afterwards, I'll pick you up and take you to this place." When he said that, Dumbledore gave Naruto a piece of paper. After reading it, Dumbledore took it back and Vanished it. "Do you want to go?"

"OF COURSE! After spending two months studying, I NEED a summer vacation!" Getting used to his antics, Dumbledore merely chuckled at what Naruto called a vacation, and watched Naruto run off to get this things.

An hour later, Naruto returned empty-handed. "Pardon me Naruto, but where are your belongings? We'll need them before we leave for Harry's." Dumbledore asked.

Reaching into his pocket, Naruto pulled out a piece of paper with Japanese writing on it. "I put them all into this Storage Seal. You see, if I apply chakra to this mark in the middle, I can pull out anything I put into here."

Dumbledore, perplexed as to how that works, asked another question. "But what happens if the mark is ripped?"

Fukasasku spoke up. "Do you see some of the smaller marks around the edges? Those marks are usually unique to each seal. If you break one, you can summon the stored stuff with another, identical seal. However, some seals don't have those marks, and they usually release everything inside them as a safety precaution."

"I see. One more thing before we leave. Naruto, can you keep your world a secret? Even the name of your village? The Ministry is, at this point of time, very nervous, and will likely try to perform a background check on you. Your story is that you were an orphaned child in a forgotten Japanese muggle village. After getting some control over your powers, you left the village at a young age and found Fukasaku, who became you're teacher. You later traveled abroad and ran into Harry. Do you understand?"

Pumped, Naruto brought a fist to his chest. "You bet I do! Lets get going already! I wanted to be there an hour ago!" With that statement, Dumbledore performed Side-Along Apparition with both Fukasaku and Naruto. Luckily, Naruto didn't lose his lunch this time, since is was somewhat similar to a slow Substitution Jutsu. When they got there, Dumbledore pointed the way to Harry's house and left with Pa.

However, when Naruto got to the right road, he saw Harry entering a house on the opposite side of the road as his house. He was escorted there by who must have been his family. Walking up to this new house, Naruto rang the doorbell. An elderly woman opened it, and let him in.

Harry was surprised to see the blonde from the graveyard. What did Dumbledore call him again? Oh yeah, Naruto. Harry had been told that Naruto's actions in the graveyard were a controlled form of wandless magic, like when he turned Aunt Marge into an even bigger blimp, released the snake from the zoo, and turned his teacher's wig blue.

"Hello there... Naruto. What are you doing here?" He then leaned into Naruto and whispered, "Ms. Figg is a muggle, non-magical and ignorant of magic. We mustn't reveal anything about wizards or our world."

"Ok," Naruto whispered back, then spoke normally "Our teacher dropped me off here. He thought you might like a friend. So, what can we do here?"

"Well, she has an old TV she never watches. Want to watch some famous movies?"

"Sure! I missed a lot of movies while I was away on..." Naruto caught himself. He wasn't supposed to reveal wizards OR ninja. "...training with Fukasaku."

With that, Naruto and Harry spent most of the day watching famous muggle movies like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Jaws. After the movies were over, the sun was lowering over the horizons, and Naruto's stomach roared. "Hehehe. Is there any food here?"

"Oh don't worry about that boys," Ms. Figg said as she returned, "let Ms. Figg take care of you. While we wait for dinner, would you like to see my cats?" With that, she showed them the felines following her footsteps. "This one's Snowy," she pointed to a poofy white cat. "Here's Mr. Paws," She knew how to name this one, this small cat had huge paws! "This is Tufty," This large cat almost had a mohawk of hair. "And finally, meet Mr. Tibbles," This was a slender brown cat with brown stripes on it's forehead and a red ribbon tied in a bow around it's right ear.

The last cat seemed to shock Naruto. "NOT THAT CAT! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!" Seeing his distress, the cat seemed to stalk towards him like a predator, but then gazed at Naruto's stomach and fled out an open window. The other three then looked at Naruto's stomach and followed Mr. Tibbles. While he was scared of the 'demon cat', Naruto noticed that all four cats seemed smarter than normal. How did they sense Kyuubi and his seal? Ms. Figg also found something unusual in their behavior.

"That's strange. They never react like this to strangers. Would you two be a dear? Go catch them for me and bring them back?"

"NO WAY AM I CHASING AFTER THAT DEVIL CAT AGAIN! IT'S BEEN HAUNTING GENIN FOR GENERATIONS!"

"If you catch all four for me, I'll take you boys to the park and have a large picnic."

Before Naruto could yell again, Harry slapped a hand over his mouth and told her "We'll be happy to get them." He then turned to Naruto, "How about I catch Mr. Tibbles for you?"

Calming down, Naruto said "Sure, but you're in for the chase of your life!" With that, the two boys set out to catch their cats. Thinking quickly, Naruto went behind Ms. Figgs house, made shadow clones where nobody could see him, and had them search for the three other cats for him to retrieve. While the cats were startled by him, they were easily brought back to Ms. Figg's house. However, once he got back to the house with the first cat, Harry was already there with Mr. Tibbles. "HOW DID YOU CATCH THE DEVIL CAT BEFORE I CAUGHT EVEN ONE?!" Harry then pulled some catnip and his wand out from behind his back. "Oh sure, if you wanna do it the wimpy way... Can I have some of that cat stuff?"

Once all four cats were returned, Ms. Figg took them to the park with her cats and had a picnic. She thought the boys were good gentlemen, sitting calmly, eating her sandwiches. Soon afterwards, she and Harry saw Dudley heading home, and she knew it was time for them to leave. Mr. Dursley would sometimes lock the door after Dudley got home, and she would take Harry in for the night. However, she didn't have two beds for the two of them. So the boys started heading back to Harry's house while she picked up the picnic. However, Mr. Tibbles soon caterwauled. Hearing that, she knew something bad was happening. The half-Knezle doesn't caterwaul unless it's for a signal system they had previously set up. She had to get to Harry, fast! As she hurried towards the underpass, which was between the park and Privet Drive, she felt cold. Too cold for early August weather. She then heard a snap and a strong thud, and saw a dementor sailing backward through the tunnel with a broken arm. She then saw a large flash of light blue light, it must have been a Patronus, and watched as two more dementors escaped out each side.

When she didn't see any more dementors appear, she was a wandless squib after all, she decided to see what happened. Inside the tunnel was a disaster. Dudley was down on the ground, looking like he was almost kissed. Harry was being supported by that blond boy Naruto, and both had their wands out. Naruto seemed cheerful, and said, "That's what I was missing! You can't have a vacation without a good fight!" She quickly told them to stow their wands and hurry home, carrying Dudley between them.

Once the boys arrived at the home, the Dursleys worried over Dudley like bees over a flower. When they saw 'their precious Diddykins', and Naruto had a laugh about that nickname, the trio were ushered into their living room. Before anybody could do anything else, a letter was sent flying through the mail shot and landed between them. Curious, they watched the letter become a face and speak its message:

Dear Mr. Potter,
We have received intelligence that you performed the Patronus Charm at twenty-three minutes past nine this evening in a Muggle-inhabited area and in the presence of a Muggle.
The severity of this breach of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery has resulted in your expulsion from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ministry representatives will be calling at your place of residence shortly to destroy your wand.
As you have already received an official warning for a previous offence under Section 13 of the International Confederation of Warlocks' Statute of Secrecy, we regret to inform you that your presence is required at a disciplinary hearing at the Ministry of Magic at 9 a.m. on the twelfth of August.
Hoping you are well, Yours sincerely,
Mafalda Hopkirk

At that news, the whole house froze for a minute. Harry's spirits sunk lower than that crevasse Jiraiya pushed Naruto into to complete summoning training. Naruto was raging to Harry and himself, " 'Recieved intelligence' my One Thousand Years of Death! They must have been watching you like a hawk, or even set up this whole fiasco!" Mr. and Ms. Dursley were both in shock at the letter and caring for their son.

"Expelled? Doing magic? You did this to Dudley, didn't you! What did you do to him?" roared Mr. Dursley, shaking something Naruto almost mistook for a sausage link at Harry.

"Nothing," Harry spoke, still in shock about that letter, "It wasn't me..."

"Don't try to weasel yourself out of this boy! Here we have proof! We knew you were bad luck from the start, and look what you did to our son! We should have let you starve outside our door where we found you!"

During that rant, Dudley started recovering. Quickly, Ms. Dursley got him a drink and a blanket. "There there my little Popkin," that got Naruto into another fit of giggles, "Tell us what happened. Who did this to you?"

For a moment, it looked like Dudley wouldn't respond. But then, slowly, he raised his finger, and pointed at Harry.

"I KNEW IT! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO OUR SON! I'M GOING TO..." Mr. Dursley would have continued, but another letter arrived and spoke:

Dear Mr. Potter,
Further to our letter of approximately five minutes ago, the Ministry of Magic has revised its decision to destroy your wand forthwith. You may retain your wand until your disciplinary hearing on the fourth of August, at which time an official decision will be taken.
Following discussions with the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Ministry has agreed that the question of your expulsion will also be decided at that time. You should therefore consider yourself suspended from school pending further inquiries.
With best wishes, Yours sincerely,
Mafalda Hopkirk

And there's the next chapter. How'd you like the Tora reference?

The reason why this chapter doesn't have a few changes is that the letters are Government Formalities. They, as well as some spoken parts in the Trial, are going to be direct quotes since they're legality phrases, not character quotes. Can you leave me a review saying whether or not this is OK?

Review Critiques:

No we don't have angst Harry. I didn't like him that much, and think that Voldy was the one influencing his angst, and it should only heighten visibly when Dumbledore's near. Since Dumbledore was nowhere near, and it's almost a scientific fact that Naruto's confidence and cheerfulness are contagious, Harry's acting better.

Yes the Dursleys aren't freaking out that Naruto is there when they get letters about Harry's weirdness. No, they don't yet know he's a wizard, or at least I don't think they do. They're more worried about Dudley and elated at the thought of having Harry's wand snapped. If I was them and heard that, I'd send a letter to the Ministry asking for the honor of snapping Harry's wand in front of him, or at least front row seats to it happening.

Yes I changed the time and date mentioned on the second letter and removed the other letters. I didn't have as much dialogue between letter delivered and second letter sent, so that's why the time's shorter. This chapter had reached around 3000 words by this point, and that's around my normal limit. Also, I want to timeskip almost directly to the advance guard's arrival from here, then have one or two chapters in HQ, one chapter on the trial, one or two in HQ again, then timeskip to riding the Hogwarts Express.

Peace out!
