The Japanese Ministry

Chapter 3


"No wonder those things are outlawed."

"Yeah, if everyone used them then our whole population would be sick."

"Apparently Granny likes putting us in uncomfortable situations."

The group of ninjas looked sour. One would suppose that they had a right to be mad and shout profanities at the Hokage for putting them through this. After all…eleven portkeys was quite sickening.

Who in their right mind would willingly put themselves through that?

With the children Naruto looked somewhat green and was no longer smiling and cheerful. His mood had turned sour and the others were trying to keep their distance. He was now engaged in an unintentional staring contest with Sasuke.

Sakura and Sasuke were sitting down and leaning against each other's back. Sasuke looked fairly pale, but was hiding his discomfort better than the others. Sakura didn't look like she had recovered either but was enjoying being so close to Sasuke.

With the adults Kurenai was leaning on a non-smoking Asuma. Her eyes were closed and she had a frown on her face. Asuma on the other hand looked a little bit happier than most of the group.

Kakashi looked…fine. His mask covered up his face and the rest of him looked fine so the others were none the wiser. But just because you couldn't see it doesn't mean that it wasn't there. And in this case the rest of the group couldn't see he was feeling sort of sick to his stomach.

Anko looked positively green. She found her thought trailing to happier subjects like a certain smiling blond. 'At least he was better company than these three.' She thought miserably.

All in all the seven Shinobi were not doing to hot.

Now the two teams had one last portkey before they got to their destination. They were in England so many of them were wondering if they should just run there.

But if they didn't take the last portkey then it might take a little longer to get there. They were faced with the choice of getting there fast and sick or getting there slow and tired. Most of them now just wanted to get it over with.

"Teme, Sakura-chan, you guys ready?"

"Hn."

"Let's get this over with."


Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura appeared with the portkey on the edge of a forest. They stood there for a second recovering from the effects of the portkey. Then they looked around. About twenty meters away there was a small cabin. Someone was apparently inside.

"Is THAT Hogwarts!"

"You're an idiot, Dobe."

"What did I do this time Teme?!"

"That is obviously not Hogwarts."

"Then where is it? Or don't you know?"

"Look around idiot."

"I don't see anyth-"

"Just look over there Naruto!"

Naruto turned and saw the gigantic castle. His mouth dropped open comically and then he frowned. "Where's the moat?"

Sakura sighed. "Baka."

Sasuke glared. "Dobe."

"Stop insulting me! Let's just go already!"

The three ran up to the castle in no time at all. They looked at the door blocking the entrance.

Naruto looked at it in amazement. "That is some front door."

"For once I agree with you." Sasuke said while he examined the door.

"So do we knock?" Sakura asked nervously.

"I say we break it down."

"Let's go through a window."

"Let's break a window.

"Should we burn it?"

"Guys, I really think we should just knock." said Sakura nervously.

"Is it even locked?" said Sasuke.

They all looked at each other with the same thought going through their heads. 'Was it locked?'

"On second thought let's find the back door."

"We're not even going to check?"

"Nope. I don't like this door."

Then the front door creaked open. It kept moving until there was a wide easy way in.

"I still say we find the back door."


Kurenai, Kakashi, Asuma, and Anko landed right in the Minister's office.

He looked positively white. They were all silent for about a minute while the Shinobi tried to recover and while the Minister tried to think of what to say.

"You must be the Minister of England." Kakashi said.

"That is correct." The Minister squeaked. "And you must be the Shi-delegates that Japan has sent!"

There was silence for another minute.

Then the Minister ventured timidly. "So…why exactly are you here?"

Anko answered in her usual way. Brazen, bold and painstakingly obvious. "We have no clue."

Then a man about the age of thirty entered the room. This man happened to be the current ambassador of Japan.

"Lady Tsunade said you'd be here! Sorry Minister if I could just borrow them for a second."

With that all five of them left a very pale, confused Minister of Magic in his office.

"Alright you four because I'm not a Shinobi I can't really give you the briefing you probably hoped for but I can tell you what the hell you're doing here."

"Do tell."

"You're taking my place for an invasion."

Asuma's smoke fell out of his mouth.

Kurenai's red eyes widened and her mouth fell open.

Kakashi pulled up his headband to examine the man with his sharingan.

Anko opened her mouth and the first word spoken showed that they were truly clueless at the moment. "Invasion. What Invasion?"

The ambassador looked around to make sure they weren't being overheard.

"Let me make this short and sweet. Japan wants to expand its borders. Thus they send you in to get all the information you can while making it look like we're trying to open foreign relations back up. Then we invade and take over. Simple as that."

"What about my team of genin?" Kakashi said angrily. "How do we know all this is true?"

"I have all the official documents from your Hokage and our Ministry. As for your team." He paused. "They're just part of the act. Also they'll be getting some intelligence themselves. Hopefully they'll be out of here before the invasion actually starts."

He handed them folder. "This has your orders and some other things that I don't have the time to explain. Read it all, act, and have some tea. England really knows what it's doing when it comes to tea. Heck, go ahead and have a tea party while you're at it."

He smiled at them. "Sorry, but I can stay. My porkey leaves in five minutes. Do your job, don't get caught, and good luck."

All four of them watched him leave with looks of disbelief on their faces.

"This is impossible." Asuma stated flatly.

"It can't be true." Kurenai said with a look of shock on her face.

"I can't believe this." Kakashi whispered.

Anko smiled. "I can."


AN: I've always wanted to do something like this! The Shinobi invading Hogwarts. Also, the ambassador is no one important so you can ignore him. He is a meaningless OC.........or is he?

Hope you like! R&R!
