Summary: Naruto finds Sasuke and takes him home. While Naruto was walking through the village, Sasuke noticed for the first time the hatred the villagers directed towards Naruto. Naruto gives him a bath and feeds him. They just finished eating when a tapping was heard at the window. Who or what could it be? I bet you can't guess it.

Chapter Three: Secrets and Missions
With a sigh, Naruto stood up and opened his kitchen window, allowing the messenger hawk to fly in. Taking the scroll, Naruto read it, absentmindedly stroking the hawk's feathers as it perched on the back of his chair. Probably waiting for a reply before it would leave. As if to prove his point, Naruto tossed the scroll onto the table and disappeared into what Sasuke assumed was his bedroom, in search of writing material. While Naruto was gone, Sasuke took a look at the scroll, wondering what was in it.
To his utter shock it wasn't addressed to Naruto but to a person called Fox. Then it hit him, it was addressed to the Anbu captain Fox. He was not only the youngest Anbu ever, but he was also the youngest captain ever. It was said that he had become an Anbu at six and a captain at eight. He had broken both Kakashi-sensei's and Itachi's records. He was a genius among geniuses.
Sasuke didn't get a chance to read the rest of the scrolls contents because Naruto chose to return at that moment. Handing a scroll to the hawk, he gave it a final pat on the head before it took off out the window. Sighing, Naruto slid the window shut. Picking up the scroll, he read it once more before he burned it. "I guess I should give you a name. I'll call you Sasuke since you remind me of the bastard. If he ever found out I named a cat after him, he would probably kill me. Come on Sasuke, I have to go see the old hag."
Picking him up, he went to the door, grabbing his sandals before going back to the kitchen window and opening it. Sitting on the window ledge, he slid his sandals on before he closed the window behind him, using chakra to stick to the side of the building to keep from falling off. Tucking Sasuke into his orange jacket, Naruto took off, jumping from roof to roof as he made his way to the Hokage tower.
Tsunade frowned as she read Naruto's letter. She had asked if he would do a simple guard job for a year, but he said that he didn't want to. Not as Fox anyway. She had been shocked beyond belief when she found out that Naruto was not only an Anbu, but an Anbu captain at that. Jiraiya didn't even know how smart or strong Naruto was. He didn't know until Naruto's mask had slipped and he had saved the pervert from being seriously injured from a surprise attack that could have possibly killed him. It broke her heart each time Naruto saved the village from utter destruction only to have them treat him like a monster in return. It was time for her to break his mask, the mask he had built to protect himself from the hate, to keep him sane. Hopefully this mission would be just what he needed.
Naruto relaxed when he entered the Hokage's office. He used the window just to annoy her. He was disappointed when she didn't take the bait. "Baa-chan, what do you want?" "An old friend of Sarutobi's sent a letter asking him to send a team to protect his school and a certain student in particular. When I sent him a letter stating that his friend had died, he sent me another letter still insisting that he would pay for a team. He even offered to let me name the price. He did ask for ninja that looked young enough to pass as students, that's where you come in. If you are unwilling to go as Fox, then I will let you assemble a team that you choose and take them with you. I have one condition, you tell them the truth. If you don't, then I will. If you can't bring yourself to tell them, then I will. And I won't sugar-coat it either."
Naruto looked at her in horror. She wouldn't tell them about Kyuubi, would she? Although she knew the truth behind the Kyuubi attack and had accepted the fox, the others didn't. Even if she hadn't know the truth of the attack, she still had accepted and acknowledged him as a person, and didn't think of him as the fox itself. "I won't tell them about our mutual friend, or about any of your contacts. But I will not spare any other detail. If you don't want to tell them yourself and you ask me to, then I won't be as harsh. But Naruto, it will happen. Now, what is your answer?"
Naruto wanted to run away, but he knew that Tsunade-baa-chan was doing it for his own good. He couldn't hide forever, and he didn't want to hide anymore. 'Kit, you knew this day would come. I warned you about this when you accepted my training. It is time for you to destroy your mask, you don't need it anymore. If you keep it on longer, you'll only be hurting yourself.' 'Kyu-chan, I'm scared. I don't want them to hate me. I don't think I could take it if they did. And what would Sasuke think? If he hated me I would just die.' 'Kit, I've told you. If they hated you for hiding from them, then they were never your friends. Now, either tell them yourself or Tsunade will tell them for you. But, you should tell them yourself because you owe them that much for hiding from them for so long.'
Naruto's shoulders sagged in defeat. "I'll accept the mission Hokage-sama. For the team members, I want all of the Rookie 9, Gai's team, and the Sand siblings if you can get them. When does the mission start?" Tsunade couldn't stop the sadness that filled her heart as she looked at Naruto's dead eyes. "The school year doesn't start for a month, but if you guys are going to blend in as students then you will need to arrive there earlier to train. You leave in two days. If you want to tell anyone else the truth, then tell them to meet here at noon two days from now. And Naruto, I'm sorry."
Naruto looked at the person who he thought of as an older sister, a mother, a grandmother. He felt a small smile tug at his lips. "I know Baa-chan, thank you." And before she could say another word, he left. This time he used the doors, shocking the two Anbu that stood guard. Sasuke was in a state of shock. The Hokage had said that Naruto was Fox. As Sasuke processed all of the information that he had learned, he failed to notice that Naruto had arrived in front of Kakashi's apartment.
Knocking on the door, Naruto waited impatiently for his former teacher to answer. When he finally did, Naruto had to suppress the urge to smirk when a half-naked and very angry Jounin answered the door. He still had his face mask on but his left eye wasn't covered, revealing the Sharigan. "Naruto, what are you doing here?" Naruto couldn't stop himself from smirking. "I came by to tell you to meet me in the Hokage's office two days from now at noon. Since Iruka-sensei's here as well, could you also tell him? You better not be late, this is important."
At the mention of Iruka's name, Kakashi blushed a deep red. Trying to hide his embarrassment he looked down at the cat that was tucked inside of Naruto's jacket. His eyes widened a fraction in surprise before he quickly slid a grin on his face. "Naruto, where did you find that cat?" "I found him outside the village. Poor thing had cut his feet up so I took him home, gave him a bath, took care of his feet, and I fed him. Why?" "I know the owner of the cat. She's worried sick about him. Do you think you could give him to me so I can return him to her?"
Naruto sighed, then gently he lifted Sasuke out of his jacket and handed him to the silver-haired jounin. "Don't forget to tell Iruka-sensei. Could you also tell Asuma, Kurenai, Gai, Anko, and Ibiki the same thing?" Kakashi nodded. "Oh, I thought you should know that I was the one that set you guys up. I mean, it was so obvious you guys liked each other. All you needed was a push. But Kakashi-sensei, if you hurt Iruka-sensei I swear I will hunt you down and torture you in every way I know how to before I kill you." The glare that Naruto gave him had Kakashi wishing that he was somewhere far far away. With a wave, Naruto disappeared with a small pop and a cloud of smoke.
Kakashi blinked in surprise, since when had Naruto known how to teleport?
Closing his door, Kakashi glanced down at the cat in his arms. "Iruka, you better get dressed. We need to talk about a certain blonde student of ours as well as a certain teammate of his." A shout of disappointment was heard from the bedroom as well as someone grumbling about something. "Now Sasuke, how about we get you back to normal?" With that said, he placed the small cat on the couch before he disappeared down the hall, only to come back with a blanket and a very unhappy Iruka.
Tossing the blanket on top of him, he went through a long chain of hand seals before he forced his chakra into Sasuke. With a small pop and a lot of smoke, Sasuke finally returned to normal. He was very happy that Kakashi had thrown a blanket over him when he realized that he was completely naked. Iruka was flustered but he quickly regained his calm. "Now, Sasuke how exactly did you wind up as a cat?" "I found this old scroll in the back of the shed and tried to do one of the jutsus, but I guess it went wrong." Sasuke desperately hoped that his teacher bought the lie and to his relief, he did.
"Well, at least I saved you from the pleasure of turning back to normal while you were with Naruto. Might as well do what Naruto asked me to. Do you have any idea what he's talking about?" "I don't really know. Tsunade-sama gave him a mission and said something about telling the truth by himself or she would do it for him. Do you have any clothes I can borrow?"
Sasuke suddenly wished he hadn't asked when he saw the evil gleam in Kakashi's eyes. "Why Sasuke-kun, I have just the outfit. It should fit you just fine too." Before Kakashi could get it, Iruka slapped him on the head with the jounin's favorite little orange book. "Don't even think about it. Just teleport Sasuke home, and if you don't, you know what happened when you tricked Naruto, imagine that only a hundred times worse." Iruka smirked when the silver-haired man went very pale.
Placing a hand on Sasuke's shoulder, he teleported them into the Uchiha compound. "I gotta go. But before I do, you definetly make a cute kitty." Before he could even snap back, he was gone. Sasuke decided to take a shower and go to bed, his mind still going over what he had just seen and heard.
---Time Skip---Two days later---
Naruto paced back and forth in front of Tsunade, slowly getting on her nerves. She finally snapped when he groaned and started to pull at his hair. "Naruto, sit down and shut up. I can't take it anymore." Instead of yelling back, he walked over to her and sat in her lap, curling up into a small ball as he rested his head on her large chest.
Her anger disappearing, Tsunade wrapped her arms protectively around the young blonde. "I'm sorry I snapped at you, but you've been pacing back and forth for the last half-hour." Naruto didn't say anything, he simply let her hold him. "I'm scared." "Naruto, I'll make you a deal. If you tell them that you are the legendary Fox, then I will explain everything else. Do we have a deal?" Naruto nodded his head and pressed himself into her even more. Tsunade tightened her embrace.
He stayed curled in her lap as the Rookie 9, thier senseis, Iruka, Anko, Ibiki, and the Sand siblings filed into the office. Jiraiya also showed up. Everyone was surprised to find Konoha's number one loud-mouth ninja curled up in the Hokage's lap like a small child, but they chose not to say anything and quickly hid thier expressions of shock and disbelief. Without looking at any of them, Naruto tossed his porcealin fox mask onto Tsunade's desk. "I'm Fox, the Anbu captain and legend."
With that said, Naruto buried his face into Tsunade's chest trying to keep himself from crying, but tears still trickled from his eyes. Tsunade held him even tighter as she began to speak. "It's true. Naruto had graduated the Academy when he was four and became a chunin just after he turned five. He became a jounin a week after his sixth birthday and then joined the Anbu two months after that. The Third assigned him to attend the academy after he became a captain and restricted him to only the occasional S-class mission. I didn't find out until I read his records and I still didn't believe it until Naruto had dropped his mask and told me the truth himself. You can also ask Jiraiya, he was completely fooled too."
At that everyone turned to stare at the legendary Sannin. "It's true. He saved my ass one time when we were traveling. I probably would have been killed if it wasn't for him." Sakura was the first to speak. "Naruto, why did you lie?" The question was simple but it cut him to the bone. Tsunade sighed as she felt Naruto cry harder, her chest already drenched with his tears.
Tsunade began to stroke his blonde spikes gently, knowing what she was about to ask could break him completely. "Naruto, do you want me to tell them about her, about the village?" As she had expected, Naruto had stiffened at her words, but what she didn't expect was what he did next. He relaxed and sunk further into her embrace, if that was possible, and said barely above a whisper, "Yes."
Naruto allowed himself to be held close as Tsunade began the story of his life. "Sakura, in order to know the answer to that question, then you need to know what really happened fifteen years ago. When the Kyuubi attacked, the Yondaime defeated it, but he didn't kill it. I probably should say her. The Yondaime didn't kill her, he sealed her into a newborn child because it was impossible to kill her. Naruto was that child. All the adults of that time knew the truth, and they believed that Naruto was the demon fox himself, not her container. Seeing their hatred, the third made a law forbidding anyone to talk about the events of that day, punishable by death. This kept the villagers from passing thier prejudice views on to the next generation, but it didn't stop them from openly showing Naruto thier hate. There are over two hundred medical records of injuries that Naruto recieved. The earliest ones are when he was three."
At the mention of his medical records, Naruto let out a small whimper as he remembered some of the more brutal things that were done to him, including rape. Tsunade held him tighter and began to gently rock him as she continued. "When he was four, he was beaten and raped." At that there was a collective gasp around the room. Tsunade forced herself to continue. "That was the first time, and for the next four years he was raped on his birthday and a few other days each year by the same group of men."
Naruto began to visibly shake as he tried to keep himself from sobbing out loud. "He may have been an Anbu member, but he had began his double life when he was four. By acting the idiot and lying about his real capabilities, he was able to live with fewer beatings from the the villagers with the exception of that one group of men. When I had ordered Naruto to execute Sasuke, it was because the villagers had dared to blame Naruto for his decision to run off to Sound, and then they had the nerve to demand that I punish him for it. To put it simply, Naruto didn't tell you the truth because he can't trust easily. When Mizuki betrayed his trust, it made it even harder for him to trust anybody."
Naruto waited for the angry voices and harsh words, but they never came. If he had had the courage to look, he would have seen the looks of shock and sadness on thier faces. Tsunade was looking and she gave a small smile. Naruto had managed to worm his way into all of thier hearts, and it shattered those hearts to hear about the things he had been through.
Ibiki had seen many things and been through many things, but nothing could compare to what this boy had gone through and yet he still had and innocence about him that seemed impossible. He was amazed at the boy's strength.
Tsunade felt Naruto's shaking stop as his tears slowly stopped as well. She wasn't surprised when his breathing began to slow and even out as he fell asleep. She didn't blame him for falling asleep, he had just been through hell and it wasn't over yet. "He's asleep. What was said in this room stays in this room. You can talk about it amongst yourselves but if this is leaked to anyone, you'll wish for a quick death. For I will give you the most painful death imaginable and then some. Now, I have a mission for the brats. Everyone else is dismissed."
Kakashi had to support a sobbing Iruka out of the room while Ibiki and Asuma had to guide the shell-shocked Kurenai and Anko, the two women had silent tears falling from thier eyes. Hinata was crying into Kiba's shoulder, while Ino hugged Chouji tightly. Shikamaru had his arms wrapped around Temari's shoulders while she leaned back into his embrace, fighting back her tears. Sakura was crying into Lee's shoulder while he held her close to him with tears falling silently from his eyes as well. Tenten held Neji's hand tightly as her eyes glistened with unshed tears. Neji, Shino, Sasuke, Gaara, and Kankuro stood still, thier usually expressionless faces a mixture of emotions.
"You guys gave Naruto hope, if you betray him now he'll break. There is one thing I think some of you should know. He has the annoying habit of setting people up with others. He got Kakashi and Iruka together without them knowing. Hell, he got me together with Jiraiya without us having a clue. And I have a feeling that he set all of you guys up and has plans for everyone else who isn't together with someone." This shocked everyone out of thier sadness. Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle at thier expressions.
Naruto jerked awake when he heard laughter, but he slowly relaxed when he recognized it as Tsunade's. "Baa-chan, can I add one more person to the team?" "Your awake brat. Sorry, but I slipped and told them how you were behind most of them getting together." At this Naruto sat up and stared at Tsunade horrified. "But you promised not to say anything after I told you how I tricked you and Ero-sennin into getting together." "I thought I told you to stop calling me that brat." Naruto ignored Jiraiya's angry shout.
"Who did you want to add to the team?" "Can I get Haku, or is he still busy spying?" "His cover was nearly blown so I think it's best if he would disappear for a little. Zabuza is still causing chaos everywhere he goes, so no one's suspicous of him being a spy and the fact that he keeps a low profile isn't suspicous in the least because he plays the whole 'I want to stay hidden cuz I'm suppose to be dead' and the 'I want to kill the bastard for thinking he killed me' act perfectly. It also isn't suspicous with him coming to Konoha all the time since he can say he's checking up on his enemies when he's really giving status reports. He's been acting a little odd lately. Do you know why?" Naruto gave her a grin that was worthy of the King of Mischief himself.
"No way. You set him up with someone?" Naruto's grin became even wider as he nodded. Tsunade felt her jaw drop in shock. "Who? Tell me who and how you did it?" Naruto began to laugh, falling out of her lap to roll on the floor clutching his sides as he laughed even harder. Finally, gasping for breath, he managed to speak. "I wouldn't call them a couple just yet, but it looks promising. And there is no way I'm going to tell you how. As for who, you just saw him. I'll let you take a guess." "Asuma?" "Nope, he's going out with Kurenai. You should have seen the looks on thier faces when I set them up on a blind date with each other. It was absolutely priceless. Nope, it's Ibiki." "Ibiki?!?" "Yep, I also have plans for Anko, but I'm not sure who would be the perfect match for her."
An evil grin spreading across his face, Naruto turned to look at the shocked faces of his friends. "Don't worry, I have plans for you guys too. Gaara, Kankuro, Shino, and Sasuke, you're the only ones left that I haven't worked my magic on. You won't know what hit you." Naruto burst out laughing again as looks of horror spread across the four boy's faces.
Tsunade was still recovering from her shock. Jiraiya was passed out on the floor, twitching violently. "I'm sorry I tricked you guys, but it was so obvious that you belonged together. I mean, even an idiot could tell that most of you guys liked each other. But you have to admit, your happy together. Am I right?" Tsunade sweatdropped at this, as did almost everyone else. There was no way that it was obvious, except in Lee's case, but for all the others it wasn't. But Naruto was right, they were happy together, and now that they thought about it, they could pick out times that Naruto had tricked them in one way or another.
Sasuke recovered from his shock enough to ask a question. "What are you talking about Naruto, aren't Zabuza and Haku dead?" "They aren't. I cast a genjutsu on you guys, including Kakashi-sensei, and fought both of them myself. The mist helped a lot though. Kakashi thinks that Fox had killed Zabuza and that the genjutsu I cast to make myself look like Zabuza and also made it look like I was being impaled by all those weapons when I killed Ganzou was to terrify his men. I also froze up on purpose when the Demon Brothers attacked." Sasuke stared in shock then quickly recovered, although Naruto was different, he was still the same in many ways. "Jiraiya, wake up. I need you to go and get Haku for me."
Tsunade felt her eye twitch when Jiraiya stayed passed out on the floor. "Let me do it Baa-chan." Naruto walked over to Jiraiya, performing his trade marked Kage Bushin. Six Narutos surrounded the unconcious man, then together, they performed Naruto's legendary Sexy no Jutsu. They dog piled the man and began to purr and coo phrases. Immediately his eyes snapped open, his nose nearly bursting as blood gushed out. A cloud of smoke appeared as the naked girls disappeared. When the smoke cleared, it revealed a laughing Naruto. Tsunade glared at Jiraiya, before she gave Naruto a half-amused, half-annoyed look.
"I need you to bring Haku here immediately, do you understand?" Wiping the blood away, he nodded before he left through the window. "I thought I told you to use the DOOR!" Sighing, Tsunade sat back down, rubbing her temples. "Naruto, do you remember your trip to London?" Naruto nodded, his eyes thoughtful. "I think it had something to do with reportings of the snake-pervert talking with another snake-pervert. Does this mean we're going where I think we are?" "If your thinking Hogwarts, then yes." "Why didn't you tell me? I know the old fart that runs the place. I met him a couple of times when I was younger. I think the last time I saw him was when I was six, I dyed his hair and beard purple while I dyed the Third's pink. It was so funny."
Tsunade had to choke back laughter as she imagined Sarutobi with pink hair. "I can't believe you would do that. I bet he tried to kill you." Naruto shook his head at her comment. "Much worse I'm afraid. He dyed my hair green, lime green. It looked crazy, especailly with orange. I think Dumbledore almost died laughing. My hair was green for a week. I think I have a picture of the three of us with our hair dyed. I'll show it to you if I find it. From what you told me earlier, I can guess what the mission is."
Tsunade grinned. "Alright, take a guess. If your right, it saves me the trouble of explaining it."
"Dumbledore wants to hire a group of ninjas to act as guards at his school, Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry. If the team looks young enough, he wants them to pretend to be students. He not only wants us to guard the school but one student in particular, a Harry Potter if I remember correctly what I learned on my mission four years ago. An evil wizard, Voldemort, is trying to kill him. I think I remember hearing a rumor that he was resurrected last year. Since he's back, Dumbledore wants us to protect the school from the inside. And since we will be posing as students, we will be learning thier 'magic', which is simply another form of chakra. It is very similar to what we use, but the chakra is focused and molded with a wand. They don't have to do anything themselves because the wand does it for them. If we learned thier form of chakra manipulation, we would be stronger for it. It could also come in handy for various missions. The only downside to it is we have to learn four years worth of spells, history, and potions in order to pose as students. Am I right?"
"You got it. Like Naruto said, you will be going to Hogwarts and posing as foreign exchange students or transfer students. I would like you to keep the fact that you are Shinobi a secret, but if you can't than only tell the people you must. Now, be packed and back here in the next thirty minutes."
Everyone left but Naruto and the Sand siblings. "Naruto, if Haku isn't here then I'll send him to you later in the year. Please promise me, stay out of trouble." Naruto gave Tsunade a small grin, his blue eyes looking like those of an ancient man. "If I didn't stay out of trouble, then I wouldn't be alive today. I won't fail you, and I'll die before I let anything happen to my team. Do you think Orochamiru is joining forces with Voldemort? I thought I killed him when I brought Sasuke back?" "I don't know everything, but he is most certainly alive. The bastard probably kept himself alive just to annoy us. On this mission, I want you to gather as much information on the enemy as you can. Don't do anything that's too dangerous or that will attract attention. I'll send you help later on in the year." Nodding, Naruto sat down in a chair in front of her desk.
Now fifteen, Naruto had grown. He had lost all of his baby fat, leaving a very toned body. Whether it was due to lack of nutrition or genetics, he wasn't as tall as his peers and he had a slim and lithe build. Tsunade couldn't help but grin, the blonde brat was only 5'8, an inch or two shorter than she was. Even Gaara was taller by about four or five inches and he had a slightly larger build then Naruto, but he was still slim and seem to have a feminine air about him. Although Naruto could definitely pass for a girl, even without using a henge. He was very sensitive about his appearance and didn't take kindly to anyone who questioned his masculinity. More than a few people had ended up in the hospital when they chose to make fun of him.
Naruto curled himself up into a ball, hugging his knees to his chest as he rested his forehead against them. Now that they knew the truth, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of his heart making him feel lighter than he had ever felt. Slowly, his eyes drifted shut and he fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.
Gaara stared at Naruto, his sand swirling around his feet as he tried to quell the anger he felt on the blonde's behalf. Sure, people had tried to kill him but he had been able to protect himself. Even when he wasn't able to protect himself, his sand did. This kept people from touching him, let alone hurting him. But Naruto had been raped, not just once but several times and on his birthday too. If the rape didn't cause psychological trauma, then it being done on his birthday would. Naruto even had to pretend to be something he wasn't.
Suddenly, the sleeping blonde began to shake, whimpering as he was assaulted by some unseen force. Gaara rushed to his side when he heard his friend speaking in a broken voice. "Please, I'll do anything. Just don't hurt me. No..." Kneeling in front of the blonde, he tried to shake him awake but got no response. Not knowing what to do, he pulled Naruto into his lap and hugged him tightly, gently rocking him back and forth. Naruto soon stopped whimpering as his shaking slowed until it disappeared completely. Gaara nearly jumped when he felt the blonde relax in his embrace.
Glancing up, he saw the shocked faces of his brother and sister. Taking a look over his shoulder, he saw the Hokage staring at him with wide eyes her mouth hanging wide open. Glaring, he managed to growl out a single word. "What?" But before anyone could answer, Naruto slowly opened his blue eyes. Blinking, he stared up at Gaara for a moment before he smiled sleepily and turned over in his lap so he could hug the boy back. He fell asleep almost instantly, a smile still on his lips. Gaara could feel his cheeks burn as he blushed, but he willed it away with slight difficulty.
Ten minutes later, everyone had returned, Jiraiya dragging Haku behind him. When they saw Gaara sitting on the floor with Naruto in his lap, a single thought ran through their minds. 'The world's going to end.'
Sasuke and Sakura were slightly surprised when they saw Haku. He looked even more feminine then he did when they first met. He was taller than Naruto, but shorter then everyone else since with the exception of Naruto, all the other boys were at least six feet tall if not a few inches over. "Good, now that everyone is here I'll tell you how you will be traveling. In two minutes you will all touch this piece of rope. It's a port key that should take you to the headquarters of the Order of the Pheonix. This is a secret orginization that is fighting against Voldemort and protecting Harry Potter. You will have to learn English if you don't already know it? Does anyone not know how to speak the language?"
When no one raised their hand, Tsunade gave a nod. "Good, then that's one less problem to worry about. You will have to learn four years worth of magic in order to pass as students, that is why you are going a month early. Send a status report every week. Use a summon animal to send it, as for team leader, Naruto will be it. Quick, grab your luaggage and touch the rope with at least a finger, we only have thirty seconds left." As if hearing what she had said, Naruto woke up and grabbed his backpack. He gave Tsunade a quick hug before he grabbed his mask and grabbed the end of the rope. Everyone else soon grabbed a piece of the four foot long rope as Tsunade began to count down. "Be good, three, two, one."
Everyone felt like a hook had been attached to their navel and was pulling them backwards as they spun around. After a minute they stopped, staggering a little as they hit the ground. Naruto felt his knees buckle as pain seared through him, focused around the Kyuubi's seal. Gaara caught him before he could hit the ground. Naruto pressed his head into Gaara's chest as he waited for the pain to recede. Slowly, it faded, leaving his body feeling bruised and battered all over. Taking a deep breath, Naruto forced himself to stand up straight. He gave Gaara a small smile and hug before he turned to take in his surroundings.
They were in a dimly lit kitchen that looked like it was being used for the first time in years. At a long table in the middle with benches, two men sat having a quiet conversation. Naruto didn't recognize either one. They were staring at them, and it was starting to get uncomforatable considering one of them had an electric blue eye that swiveled in its socket. "Is Dumbledore here?" When they didn't answer, Naruto sighed and scratched his head. "Great, the old man isn't here and we're stuck with a paranoid geezer and a werewolf. Why did I even agree to this?"
Naruto clapped a hand over his mouth as he realized he had just called the man a werewolf to his face. The man with the blue eye finally growled at him. "How did you know that Lupin was a werewolf?" Naruto scratched the back of his head. "I could sense it. Now, can you tell me were Dumbledore is? Oh, I'm Naruto Uzumaki." "You can call me Mad-eye Moody. As for Dumbledore, he isn't here. He's attending a hearing at the Ministry of Magic. Now, why are you here?" "I can only tell you that we are transfer students. Do you have any Floo Powder?" This time, Lupin spoke. "In the flower pot above the fire place, why?"
Naruto flashed him his fox grin before he walked over a grabbed a pinch of the glittering powder. "Sasuke, Gaara, don't kill anyone. Sakura-chan your in charge until I get back. Don't answer any questions until I get back. I have a bone to pick with the old man." Before anyone could stop him, he threw the powder into the fireplace, shouting the Ministry of Magic before he stepped into the flames and disappeared.
