I Do Not Own Naruto Or Harry Potter

.-.

"Hey Kyuubi! You in here?" Naruto yelled into the dark cage.

"I'm here kit. No need to yell." Came the reply.

A light appeared in the cage and the huge form of the red fox was lit up.

"What do you want kit?" Kyuubi asked with a sigh. "More 'rent'?"

Naruto stayed oddly silent.

"What's the matter kit, fox got your tongue?" Kyuubi smirked, showing off his fangs.

"Why did you attack Konoha?" Naruto asked, face a mask of seriousness.

Kyuubi blink and then lowered his face to gaze at the orange wearing child who looked at him with a determined expression.

"Do you care?"

"Yes!" Naruto said indignant. "I wouldn't ask if I didn't care! So why did you attack? Were you hungry?"

Kyuubi snorted.

"Well, to put misconceptions out of the way I did not attack because I was hungry, nor because it was in my way, nor because I'm evil."

"Then why?" Naruto scowled. "It doesn't make sense."

"I will tell you kit if you give me a promise."

"A promise?" Naruto asked warily.

"When you face that man in Akatsuki, the one with the orange mask, I want to be the one to kill him."

"What?" Naruto asked confused and indignant. "I'm not letting you free!"

Kyuubi sighed.

"Listen, and listen well kit," Kyuubi growled, "I do not hate you. I do not even dislike you. In fact, you are probably one of the few people I could stand."

"What?" Naruto asked, confused at where this conversation had turned.

"I do not hate humans. That's another misconception."

"Then you don't hate Konoha?"

"Oh, I hate Konoha."

"What but you just said-!"

"I didn't hate Konoha before." Kyuubi said. "But after being locked in you I started hating them."

"Because you were trapped in me?" Naruto asked in a small voice.

"I do not begrudge you of that Kit. I hate Konoha because of how they've treated you. You are the one reason Konoha was not destroyed by me and yet they treat you like dirt."

"You hate them…for me?" Naruto gaped.

"Yes kit. I hate them for you. Because you are too kind to hate them. So for their treatment of you I shall hate them for you."

Naruto's brow furrowed. Kyuubi could see a pleased blush light his cheeks though. Kyuubi knew it was because he'd been both honest and had stood up for Naruto in a way.

"So why did you attack?" Naruto asked getting back to the topic.

"I attack because I was forced to."

"Forced too!" Naruto blurted out. "Who the hell could force you to do anything!"

"The Sharingan eyes are one of the most powerful things in this world. And at the time I was faced with them, I had been weak from just having woken from my decades of slumber."

"What? The Uchiha made you attack Konoha!" Naruto gasped. "But why?"

"Not the Uchiha clan specifically." Kyuubi shook his head. "But a man that abandoned the clan. His name was Madara."

Naruto stared for a long minute. Finally he plopped down in the water of his mind and furrowed his brow. Kyuubi stayed silent, watching Naruto with boring red eyes as he waited for the child to sort his thoughts out.

"So it's not you fault and you aren't evil." Naruto finally concluded.

"Correct."

"Why don't you hate me then? I've been holding you back from freedom for fifteen years when you're innocent." Naruto said almost guiltily.

"Kit," Kyuubi smiled, "I have lived thousands of years, a decade in your body does me no harm. It has been interesting and I have enjoyed watching you live your life."

"Will you really die when I die?" Naruto blurted out.

"No. That is just a rumour or a lie, depends on what way you see it. The seal is not powerful enough to keep my soul tied to this body after you die. I will be free when you die."

"So why have you not refused to give me chakra and let me die all those times? You'd be free!" Naruto accused.

"Kit, I do not wish to see you die." Kyuubi said softly, soothingly. "You do not deserve to die young. I want you to see your dream achieved. I want you to grow old and powerful and get married and have children. I want you to live."

Naruto stared at him in a dumb founded way.

"You're saying you …like me?" Naruto asked, a bare whisper.

Kyuubi smiled softly and then sat up.

"Let me show you something kit."

And then Kyuubi gathered his chakra. Naruto took a cautious step back but stopped when he noticed the odd, almost impossible way, that Kyuubi was moulding it. Suddenly he started to shrink. Red fur started to recede and the claws and fangs vanished. Naruto could do naught but gape as the transformation ended and he was left facing a man the same height as him.

Naruto ran blue eyes over the new person and took in the short messy black hair and pale as paper skin and the lean figure. Eyes of green fire peered at him from beneath wild bangs and a smile twisted the man's lips. He walked up to the bars of the cage, and though he was now small enough to slip through he stayed inside and smiled at Naruto.

"Hello Kit." He grinned.

"K-Kyuubi!" Naruto stuttered.

"It is me kit." The man confirmed. "But you may call me Harry."

"Hari?" Naruto blinked.

"It was my name before you humans dubbed me Kyuubi."

"You used to be human?" Naruto gaped.

"Yes, long, long ago. Before ninja were even real."

"B-but how?" Naruto choked out, grasping for clues.

"I was once part of a race known as magic users. And there was a war. To help win the war I learned to change into an animal. A fox to be precise. But I had too much power for it to be just a fox. I became a kitsune, a magical fox able to grow tails that equalled the amount of power I had. I quickly changed to the nine tail. It helped immensely in the battle. But then came the problem. The man I was fighting was in the middle of a ritual when I attacked. It is not a good thing to interrupt a ritual.

"The magical backlash that happened when I interrupted the ritual sent my own power haywire. My own power snatched every other shred of magic in a thousand mile radius and pulled it into me, in essence making it my own power, and there were some powerful magic sources in that range. But my magic was still screwy. In effect I turned into a bomb. And when a man tried to attack me I exploded. My magic was powerful. More powerful then any other being in the world.

"I…When I 'blew up' or when my magic exploded outwards. It destroyed everything. And I mean everything. I am the sole existence for the end of my world. The shock of my magic exploding like that threw me in a comma. But when my magic settled a bit more it acted on its own and protected me. I lay dormant in a cocoon of magic for over five thousand years, buried underneath the earth in a mountain. My magic slowly leaked out and started the world growing again also. When I awoke I thought I was all alone in a new world.

After a while I discovered a small colony of people that had survive the attack. Well not small I guess. I discovered a country called Japan had survived because they were on the other side of the world from me and had retreated behind some of the strongest magical shields in existence. They had started to repopulate the land while I lay dormant. My powers also shifted the world so there was only one remaining landmass and islands. It became what you call the elemental countries now.

And because my magic was still very much present and in everything the remaining people slowly developed what you call chakra. It's a much watered down version of my magic. That's the reason my 'chakra' is so poisonous to you. It's the untamed version of chakra, once called magic. The remaining people named me Kyuubi. I also discovered that amongst the colony of people that survived only eight others had turned into animagus, and because the land was rich in my magic it affected their transformations and they became the other tailed beasts."

Naruto stared at him for over five minutes, giving him a look that said either Hari was clinically insane, or he was.

"So let me get this straight. You used to be a human with funny chakra that allowed you to turn into a fox. Then you were so powerful you blew the world up. Then you were a mountain. Then you woke up and discovered the world had changed and became Kyuubi while you chakra made the other eight bijuu."

"Yes."

"Huh. Not something you hear every day." Naruto blinked.

Harry threw his head back and just laughed. He roared with laughter, trembling and shaking with it for a good ten minutes before reigning himself under control.

"This is why I like you Naruto." Harry gasped. "You never label anything as impossible and you believe."

Naruto blushed slightly.

"So you wanted to fight this Madara guy?"

"Yes. He's the orange masked man in Akatsuki."

"But how do I let you out?"

"You're going to trust me?"

"Well you don't seem too bad. And you are innocent. And well I doubt anyone would make up a story like that just to lie."

"You amuse me."

"Well thanks." Naruto huffed. "So how will you get out?"

"We'll sign a contract."

"Like a summoning one?"

"Yes, but it won't be something silly like the kitsune contract. That's another misconception, I am not the lord of foxes. Anyways, the contract will be between you and I. It will basically say you can summon me with a sacrifice of blood and chakra like with the toads. I will be summoned from you with a body constructed of chakra and shall stay released until either of us deem it time to dismiss me."

"So you won't be free forever."

"No. Until you die I will not be completely free, but I will be able to stay out as long as I wish as long as the chakra constructed body is not destroyed."

"Well, let's make the contract then."

.-.

"What is that Naruto?" Jiraya asked peering over Naruto's shoulder at the large blood red scroll in front of him.

"Huh? Oh, it's just something I'm working on." Naruto muttered.

"I don't recognize the symbols." Jiraya said slowly.

"You wouldn't." Naruto muttered. "Hari showed me them. Took forever to learn them and I still don't know half of them. Calls them runes or something."

"Who…who is Hari." Jiraya blinked in surprise.

"Huh? Oh, just a friend."

"So this is just a note to him? Made your own secret code." Jiraya grinned, a bit more relaxed.

It helped that he sensed no chakra in the 'runes' nor was Naruto gathering chakra.

"Yeah, sure." Naruto waved him off.

Jiraya grinned, more at ease now. As he walked off he didn't notice Naruto's fingers spark with blue, pure, magic that could not be sensed like chakra. Nor did he see the runes glow before moving like snakes to make a contract.

.-.

"Hello Naruto." Madara smirked at the blonde.

"Madara." Naruto growled.

"So you do know me?" Madara grinned.

"Stand back guys." Naruto barked at his team. "He's been claimed."

Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, Yamato, Sai, Tsunade, and Jiraya glanced at him then nodded once, leaping back but ready to fight.

"Oh, so you've already claimed me as an opponent." Madara smirked. "Don't I feel honoured."

Behind the mad man, the rest of Akatsuki (Itachi, Kisame, Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara, Sasori, Zetsu, Pein, and Konan). To the west was Konoha, standing tall and proud and waiting, walls lined with ninja ready to face the advancing Akatsuki that Naruto and co. had cut off.

"Oh, no I haven't claimed you as an opponent." Naruto denied with a grin.

"So you intend to surrender?" Madara raised a brow.

"No." Naruto shook his head. "I have a friend who really wants to see you."

Madara raised a brow in a haughty manner.

"Who is he then? Not one of those weaklings behind you I hope."

Naruto whipped out a scroll that Jiraya in the background found very familiar. Whipping it open he showed everyone that it was covered in oddly designed runes. Naruto bit his thumb and smeared a long line of blood across the scroll. The runes started to glow an ominous red. Naruto's chakra had started flaring wildly as if being siphoned off into something else.

"Oh no, not them." Naruto grinned. "Maybe you remember him from seventeen years ago or so? You know, about two hundred feet tall and bloody red with nine tails."

At his words everyone froze. Fear suddenly filled many minds.

"Naruto!" Jiraya yelled. "Stop!"

"Too late Ero-sennin!" Naruto laughed wildly.

And it was too late. There was a huge eruption of smoke that had everyone leaping back as far as they could. As a gust of wind blew the grey smoke away they were all met with a sight that had their blood run cold.

The Kyuubi in all it's nine-tail glory stood above them, Naruto on his head and glowing red eyes resting on them, sharp fangs bared in a grin.

"Hello Madara." The Kyuubi chuckled, voice hoarse and heart stopping.

Madara stared at the Kyuubi with a stunned look.

"The seal-" he began.

"We navigated around with a contract." Kyuubi said in a bored tone. "But back to business. Remember the night you trapped me in a Genjutsu? Well I'm not as weak as I was that night and I really owe you for that."

"Have fun Kyuubi." Naruto grinned leaping back to his group that stood petrified behind the Kyuubi.

"Naruto, what have you done?" Jiraya asked in a flat tone devoid of hope.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist." Naruto waved a hand. "Kyuubi's not going to attack us. He's got a bone to pick with Madara."

"He'll destroy Konoha while he's at it!" Sakura screamed.

"Not likely." Naruto waved a hand. "He promised he wouldn't."

"And you trusted him?" Sasuke asked with disbelief. "I take it back, you aren't stupid, you're mentally unstable."

"It'll be fine." Naruto dismissed. "Hey Kyuubi! Be careful of Konoha!"

"Of course Kit, wouldn't want to destroy your precious village."

"Good. Now could you size down, you're making my friends nervous."

Kyuubi gave a sigh and then to the shock of all started to shrink and change until a lean figure no taller then five foot seven stood across from Madara, looking as harmless as a spoiled Daimyo's son in robes of rich black and green.

And then he pounced, and everyone rethought their opinions on how weak he looked as he attacked Madara with a speed none could hope to match and a brutality none would want to match.

.-.

"So you're the fearsome Kyuubi." Kakashi eye smiled. "You're rather short."

Harry's eye twitched violently and he wordlessly snarled at the man. Kakashi took a step back, hands up in surrender. Everyone else twitched towards their weapons. Harry noted that they were all in positions ready to defend or attack and were a good distance away. On guard. Naruto was the only one who appeared at ease.

"Just stating." He muttered.

"How are you human?" Tsunade asked as respectfully as she could.

Harry eyed her a long moment. He liked the blonde seeing as how she took care of Naruto. It was the only reason he was waiting patiently as these people eyed him like a rabid dog. They had all taken care of Naruto and for that he tolerated their hostility.

"I can answer that!" Naruto piped up happily. "He was once a human with weird chakra, then turned into a fox, then he exploded the world, then he was a mountain, then he made the other bijuu and then he got trapped in me."

Everyone stared at the blonde.

"Those are just the main points." Harry reminded. "Doesn't matter anyways."

Tsunade coughed awkwardly.

"What are your intentions towards Konohagakure?" She asked in her leader tone.

"Well," Harry hummed, "First I plan to hunt down everyone who was ever rude or mean to Naruto and make them grovel at his feet. Then I'm going to track down all those who hurt him and put them under some heavy torture. And then' I'm finding all the orphanage caretakers who kicked him out and rip them limb from limb. Then I guess I'll just stay with Naruto and keep and eye on him."

"You'd do that for me?" Naruto asked stunned.

"Of course." Harry nodded.

"Um... thanks, but you don't have too." He blushed.

Everyone just stared a bit weirded out that Naruto took that as a compliment and a bit worried about whether Kyuubi was serious.

"What do you mean by keep an eye on him?" Sakura asked.

"Well he's always getting in trouble." Harry shrugged. "I'll make sure he stays alive long enough to die of old age."

Everyone looked to Tsunade.

"Well, as long as he promises no harm on Konoha I think it's a good idea."

"You just want a guard for Naruto." Sasuke muttered.

She shot him a glare.

"What do we tell the villagers?" Naruto piped up. "I'm pretty sure they saw the two hundred foot fox."

"Tell them I sealed it again." Jiraya said. "Say that the Akatsuki almost got him out of you but I saved the day."

"It will work." Harry agreed. "And if they have a problem, you come to me."

Naruto grinned at him. Harry draped himself over the boy's shoulders, resting his chin on the boy's right shoulder as he leaned against him, bored.

"So you won't attack?" Sakura asked nervously.

"No." Harry said blandly.

Then Harry turned to look at the silent member of the group.

"And if you tell Danzo about me I will rip your tongue out."

Harry glared for extra measure. Sai flinched.

"Let's head back then." Tsunade ordered. "Sakura you and Sasuke gather the dead for autopsy. Jiraya you escort the prisoners until we get this worked out."

She was of course referring to the corpses of the Akatsuki members and the still alive members who consisted of Itachi, Kisame, and Deidara.

"Why did you leave them alive?" Tsunade asked as her men got to work.

"Itachi is innocent." Harry said easily. "And Kisame will follow him. The blonde was forced to join Akatsuki so I think he will jump at the chance to join Konoha."

"Ah." Tsunade frowned.

Naruto and Harry were left standing with Kakashi seconds later.

"You killed my sensei." Kakashi said evenly, looking at him. "And my team-mate Rin."

"I apologize for that." Harry said simply. "I had no control over those actions. I offer you a gift in return. What do you desire for?"

Kakashi shook his head.

"All I want is dead."

Harry eyed the man as he walked away.

"You shall help me think up a gift for him." he told Naruto. "Something to show my apology."

"Okay." Naruto said easily. "What are you actually going to do now?"

"I'm following you kit. You will keep me interested and I spoke the truth when I wish to see you die of old age and not a silly battle."

Naruto smiled at him slightly.

"I'd better show you my place then."

.-.

The End.
