Summary: Naruto is turned into a six year old and his memories are mixed up. He remembers Gaara, Tsunade, and Dumbledore but he doesn't remember anyone else. Tsunade teleports to Hogwarts as soon as she got a message from Temari. While in Dumbledore's office, Sasuke learns that his brother didn't kill his clan, but it was the joint effort of Orochimaru and Akatsuki. He also learned that Itachi had spied on Akatsuki. After traumatizing Naruto with his Sharingan, Itachi arrives to find a chibi-fied Naruto. Itachi becomes team leader with Kakashi, Iruka, and Shikamaru and will also act as an assistant teacher to Kakashi. Sasuke is very unhappy with his brother calling his Naruto, 'Naru-chan.' Will Sasuke kill his brother? And will Naruto ever regain his memories?

If you have a suggestion for a character for Gai, please tell me. It's hard to think up a good one for Gai. I might do Remus x Sirius as was requested, but it probably won't happen until way later in the story.
A/N: Thank you all who review. This chapter is really short, but it is a chapter. I intend to update a chapter every night even if it is shorter then I would like it to be. There should be a law banning teachers from assigning homework. It should also be illegal to start school at seven in the freakin' morning. But it's my fault that I have to get up so early so I shouldn't be complaining. Please enjoy, and remember that school nights I will be forced to update one or two chapters at a time. But on the weekends I'll make up for it and try to do anywhere from four to seven chapters. Depends on how fast I can type. Anyway, I'll shut up so you can enjoy the story.
'Call me cute and you die.' --Demon talking/usually the Kyuubi, sometimes Shukaku

Chapter Ten: Threats, Posion, and Screams
In the Great Hall, Harry was whispering to Ron and Hermione about the first time he had seen Tsunade. He had just finished his story when Dumbledore entered the room, a man that looked like an older version of Sasuke, following him with the chibi-fied Naruto in his arms. At the sight of the two, the entire Hall burst into whispers. Harry glanced around at the transfer students to see if they recognized the man. When he looked at Sasuke, he was surprised to find him glaring at the older man.
Before he could ponder this newest piece of information, Dumbledore cleared his throat, effectively silencing the chatter. "Due to an unfortunate accident today in Potions, one of our students has been turned into a small child. Sadly, because we do not know yet what caused this to happen, we will be unable to return him to normal. Since we are unable to return him to normal at the moment, his guardian has asked that he be watched over by a personal friend. Please welcome Itachi Uchiha to Hogwarts. Next week he will join Kakashi-sensei in teaching his class. Do not be surprised if you see him accompanying Naruto, or if he chooses to sit amongst the various houses. That is all." Smiling, Dumbledore took his seat after whispering a few words to Itachi.
Harry turned to stare at Ron and Hermione. "He's going to be a teacher? Just how old is he?" Kiba heard Ron's question. "I think he's twenty-four or around there. Ask Sasuke if you want to know. Itachi's his older brother but they haven't seen each other for a while due to family issues. But man, I can't believe Naruto remembers some of us and then he's terrified of others. I'm gonna kill whoever did this to him."
"You'll have to wait in line then. I'm pretty sure Gaara and Sasuke have already claimed the right to torture and kill the poor fool." Kiba looked at Neji and smiled. "Can't say I'd blame Sasuke. I mean, Naruto doesn't even remember him. Scratch that, he doesn't recognize him." "True, but at least he remembers him. I mean, he doesn't even remember us. Oh, Hinata-chan wanted me to tell you that Akamaru is hiding in the Hufflepuff's common room since he had a bad encounter with Mrs. Norris. Apparently the cat did something and Akamaru had the misfortune of being tormented by Peeves because of it." Kiba growled low in his throat.
"That ghost is going to pay. Thanks Neji for telling me. Can you give Hinata-chan these? They're the food pills I made that will change Akamaru back to his normal size. I don't like how some of the older students have been looking at her. I know she can take care of herself but I don't want any of the stupid punks to get killed." Neji took the pack of pills nodding in agreement. "True. We'll have to have a word with our senpais in the near future if they continue with their stupidity."
Neji went over to the Hufflepuff table to talk with his cousin. Their reltaionship had greatly improved thanks to Naruto. Neji no longer despised his cousin and had come to realize that she suffered even more than he did. They had come to a silent understanding and were now very close. Neji had nearly killed Kiba when he learned that he was dating Hinata. Of course, this had led to a fight that landed both of them in the hospital with serious injuries.
Ironically, it was Hinata who had put them there. She had tried to stop their fight, but when they ignored her, she lost her temper and had used more strength then she had meant to. While they were healing in the hospital, they had talked and reach an understanding. Though they both didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things, they were overprotective of Hinata. On the day they were discharged, they had agreed to work together to protect Hinata, including taking care of stupid idiots that were more interested in her body then in the danger that came with it.
Itachi was going to sit down at the Gryffindor table, but Naruto's trembling had him headed towards the Slytherin table. Seeing Gaara, Naruto had cheered up and immediately launched himself at the glaring boy. Itachi smirked as Naruto began to spoon feed the boy. When he reached for the milk, his hand stopped just before it touched the goblet. Itachi tensed when he saw Naruto's eyes cloud over but relaxed when he seemed to snap out of it.
Naruto shook his head, trying to clear his mind. He had just remembered talking to Gaara, something to due with milk. Looking around the table, his eyes open wide when he saw Temari. He remembered seeing her that night, and as he studied her he began to recall other vague memories with her. His head began to ache so he gave up on thinking and stared at the food in front of him. He was hungry, but he could remember the countless times when he had been posioned. He knew he was being stupid, but being posioned was far from pleasant.
Itachi noticed immediately that Naruto wasn't eating, and he could guess the reason as to why. A glance at Gaara told him that he had noticed as well. "Gaara, hand him over. I've dealt with this a couple of times before so I know what to do." Gaara nodded, lifting Naruto out of his lap and handing him to Itachi over the table. As if knowing what was coming, Naruto clamped his mouth shut and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Sasuke, do you have any antidotes on you?" Itachi looked at his younger brother, hoping that a knife wouldn't be thrown at him. "I don't have any on me. Tsunade-sama told us to keep our things hidden. Kankurou probably has some, if not Sakura or Hinata might. Why, does Naruto think the foods been posioned?" Itachi nodded. "He won't eat even if he knows the food is safe. Not until he's taken at least two or three different antidotes. I can't blame him considering the number of times he's been posioned. And half the time, he won't drink an antidote at all if it isn't his own." Itachi sighed as Naruto glared up at him.
Sasuke sighed as he watched Naruto glare as his brother. "Naruto, do as Itachi-nii says. You should eat or do you want Tsunade banning you from Ichiraku's for life?" Naruto's jaw fell open as he turned horrified eyes on Sasuke. "Baa-baa wouldn't do that would she?" Itachi smirked, picking up on Sasuke's plan. "Naru-chan, do you want to find out?" Naruto turned tear-filled eyes on Itachi, who wanted to do nothing more than gouge out his own to spare himself from having to look into Naruto's. Sasuke gave Itachi a pitying look before he decided to help him out. There should be a law making those eyes illegal.
"Naruto, if she finds out you haven't been eating she'll ban you from ramen for life until you do." Itachi nearly caved into the urge to comfort the boy when tears began to slide down Naruto's cheeks. "No ramen?" By now, half of the table was staring at the group. Steeling himself to the tears, Gaara joined in. "No ramen. Not unless you be a good boy and eat something." Naruto turned his eyes on Gaara, tears now streaming freely down his face.
In a small voice, Naruto managed to whisper what had him fearful of eating anything other than ramen. "Is it safe?" "Naru-chan, I wouldn't make you eat anything if I thought there was even a slight chance that it might be posioned. Now, eat. Dumbledore wouldn't serve food that would posion his students, now would he?" Naruto nodded his head and looked hesitantly at the food. Sighing, Itachi took Naruto's hand and wrapped his fingers around a fork. "Eat ten bites and I'll leave you alone. But if you wake up hungry, don't blame me." Naruto nodded, and took a cautious bite of chicken. Seeming to pass the test, Naruto began to devour the food that was on the plate in front of him.
Itachi smirked, nodding his head towards Gaara and Sasuke in silent thanks. If Naruto had continued to refuse to eat, he had been prepared to ask Dumbledore if he could use the kitchens. If Naruto saw what he made, then he probably would eat it without much resistance. Hopefully, they wouldn't have to threaten Naruto with no ramen every meal so he would eat. Naruto demolished the plate of food and was working on a large bowl of ice cream. He dropped his spoon and clutched his head as his face twisted in pain.
"Owwww. Brain freeze. Owww." Sasuke smirked. "Dobe, that's what you get for eating your ice cream too fast." Naruto managed to scowl at Sasuke even as his head throbbed painfully. "Shut up Teme. At least I don't have a frozen stick shoved up my ass like you do." Itachi tried to supress his laughter but gave up when he saw his little brother's stunned face. He laughed even harder when Sasuke's stunned face shifted to one of horror. Naruto looked up and eeped. He dove under the table and crawled into Gaara's lap where he cowered. Itachi laughing was as unatural as Kakashi showing up early. It was just flat out wrong.
"Itachi-san, I think you should stop now. You've managed to scar Sasuke and Naruto for life." Haku stared Itachi in the eye, even as he supressed a smile. Itachi smirked as he looked from one petrified face to the other. "Naru-chan, why did you call Sasuke a bastard?" Naruto looked at Itachi before his face clouded in confusion. "I don't know. And where's Sasuke? I haven't seen him." "Dobe, I'm right here. Or can you not see the resemblance?" Naruto turned to stare at Sasuke, his eyes growing large as he recognized him. "Sasuke-teme, I'm not a dobe. Stop calling me that." Sasuke smirked, hoping that by provoking the blonde, he would draw out his memories. "Make me... Dobe."
Roaring, Naruto threw himself at him. "Teme. I'm gonna kick your ass." Before he could reach him however, Gaara's sand had caught him around the waist leaving him hanging in mid-air. The Hall grew deathly silent as they stared at Gaara. "Naruto, I thought you promised to stay out of trouble." "But Nii-san, he started it." "Naru-chan. Don't argue. It's time for you to go to bed now." "But 'Tachi, I'm not tired at all." Itachi smirked when Naruto let out a huge yawn, his eyes drooping shut. "Gaara, as interesting as your enchanted sand is, I think you should put it away now." Gaara was about to protest about his sand being enchanted when Haku kicked him in the leg and gave him a barely disirnable shake of the head. Taking the hint, he released Naruto before he sent his sand back into his robes.
As his sand disappeared, the Hall broke into excited chatter. When people began to crowd around him, Naruto started to shake, making himself as small as he could in Gaara's lap. Feeling the blonde shake and sensing his fear, Gaara glared at the crowd. Some of them backed away and left, but there were others that came to replace them. As Naruto's trembling grew stronger, Gaara began to unleash his killer intent. He stopped when Naruto let out a small whimper. "Itachi, I think I'll take Naruto with me tonight. I'm sure you have much to discuss with Kakashi and Iruka-sensei. Kankurou, were you able to analyze some of the properties of the ingredients used in the potion?"
"Yes, but it's nothing useful. From all of the possible properties I've analyzed in most of the ingredients, I've found none that would cause Naruto to shrink. Hinata and Sakura have probably come to the same conclusion. I haven't been able to identify at least nine of the ingredients used. I'm assuming Naruto used these in order fix his first potion that Neville managed to botch. I can't say I blame the boy with the way Snape kept breathing down his back. If Snape had done that to me I would have blown a fuse."
Gaara nodded, he didn't usually care about the weak, but it seemed that Naruto was rubbing off on him. Neville was already timid, and he could pratically smell the fear that rolled off of the boy when Snape had hovered behind him. Snape clearly favored Slytherin, and this was made painfully clear with the way he took points off of Gryffindors for the smallest of things. And the ridiculously large amount of points he awarded Slytherins screamed how much he favored his own House.
Sasuke stood up, stretching. Several of his joints made popping and snapping sounds. Sasuke smirked as Itachi did the same. "Gaara, wait here for a moment. I'll ask the Headmaster's permission for Naru-chan to sleep with you tonight." Gaara chuckled darkly. "Itachi, I thought you were smarter than that. You know I don't sleep." "Exactly. That means you'll be able to wake him up if he has a nightmare. And he's more than likely to if his memories have been shifted around." Gaara glanced down at the blonde that was half asleep in his arms. "You had better hurry. He's already half asleep and it doesn't look like he'll stay awake much longer."
Itachi smiled down at the blonde before he walked over to whisper into Dumbledore's ear. Dumbledore looked thoughtful for a moment before he nodded his head, his blue eyes sparkling as he smiled. Itachi came back and nodded to Gaara. "He said it's okay. I'll come with you so I'll know where to find you in the middle of the night if I need to." Sasuke scowled. Itachi probably wanted to know where the Slytherins common room was so he could visit Naruto in the middle of the night. As they left the Great Hall, Itachi spotted Shikamaru talking to Temari, Kankurou, Hinata, and Sakura.
"Shikamaru, Iruka-sensei wanted to see you before you turned in." Shikamaru nodded. "Tell him that I'll patrol tonight with Kakashi, but the two of you should draw up a plan so we partol in shifts. It would probably be best if it was done by house. That way you guys can cover for each other. Alternate it so that either me, Kakashi, or Iruka is paired off with two of you guys. There should be different shifts so those on guard that night get some sleep." "Then, that means we won't use Kiba for a while since he'll be alone and we need him to guard the Potter boy. We can use Akamaru, Shino's bugs, and shadow clones to help cut down the workload. I'll talk with Iruka. We should have something planned in the next day or two. You better go and put Naruto to bed before he falls asleep. Troublesome, the whole mission is."
Itachi nodded and followed Sasuke, Haku, and Gaara down towards the dungeons. He was careful to note where the entrance to the Slytherin common room was and made a mental note of what the password was. They were barely half way across the common room when someone spoke. "What is he doing here? This is the Slytherin common room." Sasuke glared at Malfoy before he smirked. "Ah, Brother, let me introduce you to Draco Malfoy. Malfoy, my older brother Itachi. If you have a problem with Naruto being here then take it up with him."
Itachi hid his smirk as he woke Naruto up enough so that the blonde would tell him good night. "Night 'Tachi. Don't traumatize the students too much." Itachi smirked again before he placed a soft kiss on Naruto's forehead. He saw Gaara smirk as Sasuke glared daggers into the back of his head. "Gaara, tuck him in. Change him into one of your shirts before you put him to bed." Gaara nodded and disappeared into the boy's dormitory with Haku following him.
Sasuke stayed behind to watch Itachi taunt Malfoy who was flanked by Crabbe and Goyle. "You didn't answer my question Itachi. Why is that 'boy' here?" Malfoy spoke the word boy like it was something disgusting. Itachi bristled in anger, but quickly controlled his emotions. "He is here because Gaara will be looking after him while I consult with Kakashi about classes. Protest all you like but it won't change. I have Dumbledore-san's permission and that is all that matters." Malfoy glared and was about to open his mouth to retort when a shrill scream echoed through the room.
