(Read the A/Ns below please) Part I of III of the Final Chapter, y'all

In the large, watery sphere that Kussaku constantly monitored, there was a particular ripple in it that captured his interest.

It was just at the edge of it. It was so close to the edge of the sphere that if he wasn't standing at that particular angle, he would've never noticed it.

Extending his senses, he focused on where the ripple was originating from.

Earlier on, reports of Naruto and his friends missing came flooding in through. Kussaku really hoped the ripple was where Naruto and co. was right now.

Apparently, the goddess of fate or someone had heard his plea and rewarded him with the relief that their location was finally discovered.

Looking behind him where the Hokage and the Raikage sat as they discussed their next strategic move, he called out the newfound bit of information.

"I've finally located where Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Tenten, Hyuuga Neji, Rock Lee, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru, Sai, Aburame Shino, Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Chouji are."

Tsunade immediately stood up, the chair she had been occupying previously scraping loudly against the floor as she did so, "Where are they, Kussaku? Has the Akatsuki gotten ahold of Naruto and Sasuke?"

Kussaku immediately replied to the frantic Hokage, "No, no. He isn't within the enemy's hands, I assure you. But, well. Promise me you wouldn't get angry?"

The Raikage impatiently waved his hand with the notion of consenting to the Sensor Ninja's request, "Yes, get on with it. Where are the missing Konoha-nin?"

Kussaku cleared his throat and said out loud, "They are...outside of the Elemental Countries. To be more specific, on a continent called 'Europe' in a academy labelled as 'Hogwarts'. Pardon me if I sound like I'm lying, but that is what the Sensory Water Sphere is saying."

The Raikage stood up as well, slamming his huge fists down onto the table with a huge thud.

"Impossible! How did they get there in the first place?"

Tsunade added in to Ay's question, "Not to mention the fact they had managed to acquaint themselves with the very group of people we've isolated ourselves from since the First Gokages' time."

Yamanaka Inoichi, Ino's father, answered the Kages' questions.

"One of the shinobi from the Second Division was close enough to witness it happen. The fake Madara was revealed to be none other that Uchiha Obito, who had actually survived the incident at the Kannabi Bridge. Using a series of jumps on rocks in the air, he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and the ability to utilize Kamui and sucked each of the missing ninjas into it. If our information on the Kamui and what it does is correct, then I would say that Obito had initially meant to place them under a genjutsu in a alternate dimension. Somehow, his Kamui malfunctioned and instead sent them out of the Elemental Countries' barrier line and into Europe."

Tsunade sat back down at the onslaught delivered to her and organized the information currently running amok inside of her head.

Then, she focused on a specific word. She gasped and faced Ay, "If they truly are at Hogwarts, would it be safe to say they had contact with wizards and witches?"

Shikaku focused on the new term, "Witches and wizards, Gondaime-sama?"

Ay answered, "Similar to us with a internal 'container' for spiritual energy, but they instead call it as 'magic' and channel it through a stick. Various types of 'magic' are triggered with a specific word and a elaborate movement of the stick."

Tsunade nodded, "Basically. Long ago, we interacted with them in a friendly way. But soon enough, they managed to drag us into the many meaningless wars, hiring our shinobi for the most mundane requests."

Ay continued, "So, our first Kages reached an agreement on isolating ourselves away from their political issues and erected the barrier surrounding our homeland."

Tsunade said, "Hopefully, if Naruto didn't do anything stupid, then maybe this could be the chance we finally get to add on to our limited knowledge of magic and what it does."

Shikaku understood, "Ah, so would sending the Kazekage and his siblings to retrieve them be a wise move, Tsunade-sama?"

Tsunade contemplated the move. On one hand, the Kazakage was a necessary asset to fighting the Jyuubi and its pests. But, on the other hand, Gaara was close to Naruto and could maybe convince the knuckleheaded ninja to come back.

In the end, she sighed in defeat to her conflicting emotions in whether or not to send them out of the barrier and into the Outside.

"We have no one else to send as of right now, so we might as well alert Subaku no Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro to do it. Inoichi, if you will, send the three a message instructing them to exit the barrier surrounding the Elemental Countries and to make a course set straight to Hogwarts to retrieve them all back here."

Inoichi nodded as the box on the upper half of his face moved up and down as well, "On it, Tsunade-sama."

Tsuande leaned back in her chair, swiping a hand across her forehead.

"Let's hope that they're all safe."

The Raikage shook his head a bit, "The Fourth Shinobi War would loose its entire meaning if the Nine-Tail's Jinchuuriki was compromised, after all."

Kussaku exhaled a bit as he continued his maintenance of the rippling water sphere.

Gaara was currently fighting another battalion of the Jyuubi's army when he received a message from the blond Yamanaka's father, 'Naruto and his friends who went missing 5 hours prior are finally located.'

Inside his head, Gaara and Inoichi met up in a mental discussion.

As Gaara continued fighting what the Jyuubi spawned out, his mental self and Inoichi carried on their discussion.

Gaara thought out, 'Where are they? Are they all safe, more importantly, is Naruto safe?'

'Yes, they are all safe. They are currently outside of the Elemental Continents' Barrier, on another landmass called Europe. To be more specific, they are in a academy for witches and wizards known as Hogwarts.'

'Wizards...witches?'

'I know, I know. Tsunade-sama just explained it all to me as well, so I'm also confused. Basically, they are similar to us in the aspect of utilizing a inner source of spiritual energy, 'magic' is what they call it, in which they channel in out through a stick to get various results both for offensively and defensively. It is only triggered with a specific word along with a elaborate set of 'wand' maneuvers.'

Gaara raised a non-existent eyebrow, 'So...basically, I am to retrieve Naruto and his friends and get them all back here.'

'Yes, along with Temari and Kankuro.'

'May I ask why?'

'One major reason is your transportable sand. Another reason is that you're also close to Naruto. Temari and Kankuro are your bodyguards...just in case. You are no longer Shukaku's Jinchuuriki, but you still have many formidable enemies out there.'

'Very well, I'm going to set out right now. Is that all, Inoichi?'

'Yes, that is all. Good luck and be careful.'

With that, the mental link was dissolved. Gaara pulled out of the fight, the shinobi around sending him questionable gazes but didn't ask him anything as they continued their fights.

Perks of being one of the Kage, reasoned a smug Gaara.

He created a movable disk of sand under him and set off to find his older brother and sister.

He found them in a short span of time, notified the two of their new mission, and set out to retrieve their lost friends.

Shikamaru was taking a nap outside on a grassy hill under the clouds. The sun shined on his face as he enjoyed his nap.

As he was about to slip deeper into the realm of sleep, he heard a familiar voice. Faint, but he could just make it out inside his head.

It sounded...like that troublesome Ino's father. Shikamaru liked Ino's dad; he was reserved and didn't talk much. Definitely not a troublesome man to hang around with. Wonder whatever happened to Ino during her childhood?

'Shikamaru...Shikamaru. Great Kami-sama, wake up already!'

'Hai, hai. Man, what a drag.'

'If you're saying that, can I say with certainty that you're all safe and sound?'

'...Yea.'

'Nothing happened?'

'Well, someone sent a horde of White Zetsus to us, but we managed to fight them off. Man, there were a lot of new trees for Hogwarts. Hope they appreciated our economic contribution to their polluted air.'

'What?!'

'Nothing too serious, no one was harmed or killed if that's what you were thinking.'

'Good. Anyway, you probably figured out by now that we have located your positions, right?'

'Yes.'

'The Kazekage and his siblings are traveling from the war-front to retrieve you all from Hogwarts and bring you back. Knowing that time runs faster outside...?'

Shikamaru knew what the older Yamanaka was trying to ask but couldn't word, 'Well, going by their calendar, I say that about 5 to 6 months passed by us. What about you?'

'...Only 5 hours. We're still fighting the Jyuubi, if that's what you want to know. The previous four Hokages opened the Four Crimson Ray Barrier and allowed all shinobi capable of fighting to enter.'

'...Wow, that's a pain in the ass.'

' *Sigh* Normally, I would react like your mother-'

'Please don't.'

'-but I would have to agree with your crudely worded statement. Anyway, that's what I was instructed to inform you. Pack up your supplies and say your goodbyes. They should be arriving soon, knowing the Kazekage's sand transportation.'

'Yup, see you later.'

Shikamaru sighed, allowed himself one last look at the drifting wisps of clouds, and got up. He dusted off his chuunin vest and pants and made his way back inside of the castle to inform his friends.

He wouldn't admit this out loud, but Shikamaru will miss this place. It was peaceful for the most part, and even though they had a troublesome Dark Wizard out to get Harry, nothing too major happened everyday.

The Nara knew some of his friends will feel like this as well.

Harry was coming up the stairs to retrieve his Charm textbook when he noticed all of the shinobi stripping bare their dorm. Weapons were taken down, beds were stripped clean of bed sheets and pillows, and they were folding up their unusual 'shinobi' clothing.

He stepped in, instinctively ducking his head to avoid the decapitation of his head from the kunai still hanging from the doorway.

"What are you all doing?"

Kiba looked up from his sealing, "Oh, well...Our friends finally found us and we have to go back to help with the war effort."

Harry's gut sunk; while his head was yelling at him to not feel sympathetic to these young 'killers', they were already at war. Except for 'Team Gai' being 16 (why weren't they placed with the sixth-years then?), the majority of them were all 15, just like him.

Harry shook his head a bit in disbelief, "Already? But it had only been 6 months, can't you stay longer until you go back?"

Kiba looked back down.

Shino spoke for his best friend, "Back in our homeland, it has only been 5 hours."

Harry was thoroughly confused at the very different time zones, but he brushed past his confusion.

Naruto finished sealing all of his supplies into scrolls and discarded his many empty ramen cups, "Of course we would stay longer, dattebayo! But we wanna help our friends and families, fight that bastard Jyuubi, finish sealing Madara, and kill Obito so that we can live a peaceful life."

...This was all said with a cheerful smile as if he suggested they go out shopping in Diagon Alley. Harry got the protecting his loved ones, but did he really need say the part about killing someone?

Sai interrupted Harry's interrogation, "Dickless, go get our you-know-what from Dumbledore-san."

Naruto screeched out his usual retort to Sai, "Shaddup, Sai! I do have a dick, dattebayo!"

The girls blushed and Harry felt a bit awkward.

Sakura fumed and a tick mark appeared on her forehead.

"Idiot Naruto! Don't say that when girls are around, stupid!"

Sai still had that fake smile plastered onto his face when he tried his best to placate Sakura's sudden temper, "Ugly, calm down. It wouldn't do us no good if you were to kill Dickless."

Now, it was Sakura's turn to start yelling colorful swear words (both picked-up English swear words that could make a sailor blush and untranslatable Japanese phrases that the author will not repeat) at Sai.

Ahh, that wonderful (pasty) emotionless bastard. ((I actually really love the dude, believe me.))

Sai smiled at her despite the raging.

During the chaos, Naruto and Shikamaru slipped out of the Gryffindor Common Room to go retrieve their pay from Dumbledore.

Naruto and Shikamaru jumped off of staircases, rails, and the occasional suit of armor to cut down on the amount of time it would've cost them if walking.

In no time, they reached the stone gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's office. They said the password, the gargoyle jumped aside, the two stepped onto the spiraling staircase, and like time had stopped for them for this moment, they reached the door to their client's office.

Shikamaru knocked politely to inform the Headmaster of their arrival and waited for his usual reply.

"Come in."

Naruto opened the door to enter, Shikamaru following after his friend and closed the door behind him.

The pair walked up to Dumbledore's desk and stopped at a respectable distance away from him.

Dumbledore peered at the duo over his crescent-moon glasses, the twinkle in his eye present.

"I assume you're here to either make a report or to inform me that you will be leaving soon."

The two nodded.

"Our Intelligence Division had finally located us and are currently sending three of our...associates over."

Dumbledore nodded, the day had finally come. He was hoping that the young group of teenagers could've maybe stayed longer, to protect the young Potter who naturally attracted trouble to himself.

"Very well. Please wait a moment here as I go get the pay for each of you."

Dumbledore apparated with a loud crack expected when traveling through that method.

Naruto sat down on the floor and made himself comfortable while Shikamaru leaned against one of the walls covered with moving portraits. A leg was propped behind his figure while the deceased portraits of past Headmasters/Headmistress peered over their frame as best as they could to observe the drowsy ninja.

10 minutes came and Dumbledore arrived back in his office, another loud crack signifying his return.

In his hands were 14 bulging bags stuffed to the brim, all carrying 9,000,000 yuan as discussed back on their first night here.

He handed 7 to the gleeful Naruto and the other 7 to the half-awake Shikamaru, "Thank you for your services to both Hogwarts and to Mr. Potter, even he doesn't know of our exchange. Perhaps, in the near future, we could talk some more when the world is quiet again?"

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, yeah! We'll definitely come back, dattebayo!"

Shikamaru muttered out, "Don't make promises you can't keep, stupid."

Naruto loudly whispered back, "Don't be a stick in the mud, Shikamaru. How else will we visit Harry?"

"We could always write a letter and send it off to him through a hawk."

"They don't use hawks, Shikamaru. They use owls!"

As the two bantered back and forth about the possible future, they exited the office and back to their dorm.

Dumbledore smiled as their disappearing voices.

Now, where were those Sugar Quill Lollipops Professor McGonagall gave to him last week?
