"And that is your mission for the year," the third Hokage finished explaining the mission to the masked ANBU. "Any questions?"

The ANBU nodded his head. "So this mission, there are around one thousand students and 12 teachers including me, plus a Jinchuuriki, and you want me to protect everyone by myself? Can't I at least have one jonin? For instance…the great Kakashi Hatake?"

The third Hokage, or Sarutobi, sighed. "Kakashi is currently on a mission in the Village Hidden in the Stone, as is Kurenai. Might I suggest my son, Asuma?"

"He will do."

Sarutobi pointed towards the forest. "He is currently training with his team, Konoha 11," He said calmly. "Go find them."

The ANBU saluted him, and speed off towards the forest. This mission...is this really an A ranked mission? He thought. No, it is. I mustn't underestimate the power of the Jinchuuriki, especially when more than one thousand lives are on my shoulders.

He hopped from tree to tree, and after three minutes he sensed four different chakras. The ANBU hid in a tree and watched the Hokage's son train.

"So, first of we're going to practise the Shika-Ino-Cho combo," A man who the ANBU assumed was Asuma said. A chubby boy raised his hand, and said back, "But, Asuma-sensei, we've perfected it. We don't need more training."

The two next two him nodded. "Choji is right, we can easily beat a rookie genin when we unleash that combo," a blonde piped up. The other boy sighed, a gazed up at the clouds. Asuma smirked. "Yes, you could easily beat a rookie genin, but you couldn't beat a chunin now, could you? And you aren't very good at noticing other's presence. For instance, you didn't try to attack our little friend over there."

Asuma threw one of his air charka filled kunai at the bushes were the ANBU was. The ANBU quickly jumped onto the soft grass, sweating a little. Shit… I was careless, I should have known he would've attacked me if I stayed hidden for too long. If I didn't jump at the last second, my whole body would have been… anyway, remember the mission.

"Hello, my name is…" the ANBU started to say. He frowned under his mask. What was the name I chose for this mission? Oh, yeah… "Senji. Senji Ikushi. I have been sent by Lord Third to give you four an A-ranked mission."

The reactions were quite different. The chubby boy grinned, Asuma smirked, but his eyes were confused, the blonde girl gaped at Senji, and a brunette boy merely sighed and gazed dreamily at the clouds, and Senji could have sworn he said, "Missions, so troublesome. Man, I wish I were a cloud…"

Senji raised one eyebrow. "This isn't an A-ranked mission for nothing, you know. Lives depend on whether you accept this mission or not," He stated. "But if you accept it, then you will be gone for a year."

The blonde gasped. "A year away from… SASUKE-KUN!" She screamed the last word. The two boys next to her covered their ears, while Asuma patted her on the shoulder.

"If we accepted this, then you should know our names first. I am Asuma Sarutobi," Asuma said, pointing to himself. "She is Ino Yamakana, and these two are Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi." He gestured his hand towards his students.

"So, what's the mission?" Shikamaru asked. Senji took off his mask, revealing his face. He hadn't shown his face for a while, and it felt good to take off the ANBU mask. "There is a school somewhere far away. A school for magic."

"What, like the academy?" Ino interrupted. Asuma hushed her and mouthed to continue.

"No. This school is special. You enter when you are eleven, and you leave when you are seventeen. It is the most amazing school to ever exist," Senji sighed dreamily. "But something is threating the peace that the founders and the headmasters have tried so hard to keep. The return of the darkest of wizards, the darkness in the light, Lord Voldemort."

Choji sniggered. "Lord what?" he smirked, spitting out some chips. Shikamaru snorted, and Ino giggled. Only Asuma took the name seriously.

"Konoha 11! Show respect! From what we have heard so far, this Lord Voldemort strikes fear into the heart of every witch and wizard!" Asuma barked. "But I would like to know: what on earth do you mean 'return'?"

Senji sat down. "It's going to take a while to explain the whole story, and I'm only going to say it once, so listen carefully," he said, while Konoha 11 sat down.

"Over fifty years ago, one particular student roamed the halls of Hogwarts. He was a heir of Salazar Slytherin-"

"Slyther- what?" Ino interrupted.

"One of the four houses in Hogwarts. The other three are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. They are named after the four founders. Anyway, as I was saying…"

"He was the heir of Salazar Slytherin, and possessed dark powers beyond the normal wizard level. Back then, he was known as Tom Riddle, but around two years after he left school, he was reborn as Voldemort, the darkest threat this world has ever seen. His reign over the wizarding world was well over three decades. The Dark Lord wanted power, and lots of it. So one night, he went to the Potter's house, because he believed that if he killed their son, Harry, then he would be the most powerful wizard ever. He went inside, and killed James Potter. Then he went upstairs, into their bedroom, to murder Harry, but Lily Potter wouldn't let him. So Lord Voldemort killed her. The Dark Lord turned to Potter, and tried to kill him- but a miracle happened. No one knows how or why, but Harry Potter survived the killing curse, and Lord Voldemort was never seen again."

Ino scowled. "Well if he's dead, then why do we need to go and protect this Harry Potter anyway? And by the looks of it, he's probably going to be fine and dandy, since he's already survived a killing curse," she said, crossing her arms.

"I never said that Lord Voldemort is dead. No, he's still out there; somewhere… he's just waiting for the right moment…" Senji answered. "But I haven't explained the whole story yet. You see, three other ninjas are going to Hogwarts-"

"IS IT SASUKE-KUUUUUUUUUUN?" Ino screamed. The boys took one step away from her.
"No, they are from Sunagakure. And one is dangerous," Senji started to say.
"So not only are we protecting Harry Potter and the rest of the students from Lord Voldemort, but we are also protecting them…" Shikamaru said, glancing at Asuma.
"...From the dangerous one?" Asuma finished. "Just what makes him dangerous?" he asked.

Senji whispered something in Asuma's ear. Asuma widened his eyes. "A-are they insane?" he gasped. "Sending in… is it true?"

Senji nodded. "So, are you willing to take this mission?"

Asuma, Shikamaru and Choji nodded. "If I turn my backs on these people, then I will be nothing more than a murderer," Ino said. "So count me in."

Senji smiled warmly. "Well, Konoha 11, your mission starts in one month!"
