Hermione gasped, as she remembered something from her advanced History textbook. She grasped the thought in her mind, trying to turn that vague fact into something more info-loaded.

As Hermione tried to remember what she read, Umbridge was sputtering in rage and in fear.

She would've succeeded in exploding from the sheer amount of it present in her face if a giant dog didn't bark in her face.

A boy with short brown hair looked over at the dog and talked back to it, "Hmm?"

Then, he snickered.

"Akamaru, that's a person. Not a toad."

Then, he turned to the only boy with blonde hair, "Hey, Naruto. You sure that 'person' over there wearing pink isn't from Mt. Myokubo?"

So, the dog must be Akamaru and the blonde boy must be named Naruto, Hermione observed.

The blonde, now identified as Naruto, looked over to what his friend pointed at and snickered back at him.

"Nah. Even Gamakichi looks better than her."

Umbridge had reached the point where she started doing her annoying ''hem, hem.''

"Excuse me. But I am a official representative from the Ministry of Magic. Who are you and how did you get here? Hogwarts has a anti-apparent charm set here."

Sakura sighed.

The immature ones -Naruto, Kiba, and Choji- flew past the words and just focused on the word ''Hogwarts''.

They backed away from their serious team mates and went into a corner to laugh it out.

Still, the rest all being ninjas they can still easily easily hear what they said.

"Hogwarts." (Kiba)

"I know, right? Sounds lame for a school." (Naruto)

"Sounds like a sick pig. I wouldn't even put it on the BBQ grill, even they offered me it." (Choji)

While they conferred on the name of the place they were now in, the old one with a really long beard wearing a dress stepped up to them.

"Who might you be?"

Naruto, never missing his chance to introduce himself being the future Hokage, bounded forward.

"Uzumaki Naruto, future Hokage!"

The moment Hermione and the older Ravenclaws heard the term 'Hokage', all snapped open their History textbooks.

If they had recalled correctly, a 'Hokage' was a leader of a ninja village, Konohagakure, in the Hidden Continents.

If it was correct, then that means they were all shinobi and kunoichi! This could be their first meeting since 1541, when they all isolated themselves away on a island.

Then, the rest of their odd group introduced themselves:

Blonde-going-platinum went first, "Yamanaka Ino."

Pineapple Head, "Nara Shikamaru...how troublesome."

Pinkie, "Haruno Sakura, sir."

Emo #1, "Uchiha Sasuke...sir."

Mr. Chubs, "Akimichi Choji. Got any food here?"

Emo #2, "Aburame Shino."

Boy-with-Red-Triangles and his dog, "Inuzuka Kiba and my trusty dog, Akamaru (Say hi, boy!)"

Then, what looked to be two blind people went. Perhaps they were related?

"Hyuuga Hinata, sir."

"Please to meet you, sir. I am Hyuuga Neji, Hinata-sama's cousin."

Chinese-Bun Girl, "Tenten. Just Tenten."

White-Pasty Dude, "I'm Sai." Simple enough, right?

Green-Spandex Guy, "I am the youthful Green Beast of Konoha, Rock Lee!"

The guy who just went said 'Konoha'; Hermione wondered if it was short for the Land of Fire, Konohagakure in the Hidden Shinobi Nations.

Anyway, it only confirmed their suspicions.

The group of 13 were somewhere affiliated with long-lost Shinobi Nation.

Problem was now, how did they get here?


Sakura leaned over to Shikamaru, "So...what do we do now?"

Shikamaru shrugged, even he didn't know what was their next move.

From preparing to fight Jyuubi to being placed in a castle surrounded by people whose only defense mechanism was a piece of stick, who would know what to do next?
