Magical Fishcake
Chapter 1: Prologue
Hiruzen sat behind his desk, looking at his best ANBU operative. Said ANBU wore the typical attire, while the white cloak, which symbolized his status as one of the captains in the division, was missing. Not like the Shinboi force of Konoha didn't know who he was, a single glance at his mask and even the greenest Genin recognized his status as a Captain. Said white porcelain mask was adorned with three crimson whisker marks, red pointy ears, and a single red line that represented a small smile.
This was Kitsune, a living legend, his fame at the level of veterans like the Legendary Sannin, Kakashi of the Sharingan, or the White Fang.
Spiky, blond hair peaked behind the mask, and cold, cerulean blue eyes shone from under the porcelain, making most who looked into them shiver in fright and fear. Hiruzen was not one of them. Instead, he smiled at the blond and lifted his pipe. Without any word, fox snapped his fingers and lit the pipe for his leader, whose smile widened even further.
"Relax Naruto-kun, please take off your mask and take a seat," The old man started, gesturing towards the free chair in front of his desk. Fox complied and took off his mask, revealing a young face, no younger than eleven with a big grin. His eyes, a moment ago colder than glaziers, were warm and full of mirth.
"Whatdya need, old man? Ready to give me this hat?" Naruto asked and sat in the chair, kicking his feet on the Hokage's desk, gaining a small chuckle from the man he looked up to as grandfather. had there been anyone else besides the two of them or had the Hokage not asked him to take off his mask, the young blond would never show such disrespect, but behind the closed doors with his mask off, they were not the leader and subordinate, but family.
"Not yet, you are still too big of a brat to be even considered for the position," The Sandaime answered with a smirk, making Naruto huff and looked at his fingernails.
"Like I would ever accept, this position is for old men who are too old to fight," Naruto flinched after feeling Killing Intent flowing from Hiruzen, making the young boy stammer.
"Hmm, maybe I should beat some manners into you. It seems you have forgotten my last lesson," The old Sarutobi said, a big warm smile on his face contradicting the copious amounts of KI he was releasing.
"N-No, I think I-I remember now!" Naruto stammered, sweat collecting on his brow, his legs tensed, ready to bolt out of the office should the Hokage try to go through with his threat. The KI vanished in thin air and the blond released a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Good, good. Well, there is something quite important I need to tell you," Hiruzen looked at the blond seriously. Naruto's face lost its grin and focused on what his leader was saying. "seven years ago, when you were four and I told you about the Kyubi and your Heriatage, I left an important detail out," Naruto cocked his head to the side.
"What do you mean?" Naruto remembers the day very well. He came into the office after being chased by a mob of civilians and told his grandfather figure what happened. After the incident, Sandaime took a decision, one that could either go very well or very badly, yet he decided to put his faith in the blond. Hiruzen sent his most trusted ANBU at the time, Inu, to bring the blond to his office. Once Naruto was inside, The Hokage gave Naruto a decision.
"Naruto, my boy, your parents had a lot of enemies, that's why I can tell you who they were until you are strong enough. However, I am willing to make a deal with you. If you join ANBU and start your training among their ranks, I will tell you who they were or you can wait until you reach the rank of Chunin and then you shall know the truth I will leave this decision to you, but think it through, because there will be no going back, no matter what you decide,"
After thinking a lot about the offer, the young blond decided to join ANBU. Once the made his decision, Hiruzen smiled at the blond proudly and showed him a photo of a red-haired girl and a blond male, Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato, his mother, and father. After giving the blond some time to process this information, he decided to inform the blond about the Kyubi.
It was better he learned the whole truth from him than gather some pieces from the civilians and come up with something that would break him, like the idea that he was the Biju's reincarnation. Soon, the blond was officially administered into the Ranks of the ANBU and began his training. His first year of training was led by Inu, who as Naruto learned was Kakashi. The silver-haired ANBU quickly became an older brother to the blond and Kakashi was more than happy to fill this position.
It was also during his first year of training that the Namikaze genius started to show its colors, together with the Uzumaki determination and resistance. Naruto broke all expectations and soon some rumors began to circulate inside the ANBU about a young Genius, that rivaled The fourth Hokage and Uchiha Itachi.
Said Uchiha was tasked with training the blond during his second year of ANBU and the two soon grew close as well. For Naruto, while Kakashi was the funny, lazy older brother, Itachi was the responsible one who could answer all his questions and help him understand more about the world. For Itachi, Naruto was a lot like Sasuke, but unlike the young Uchiha, Naruto was not poisoned by Fugaku's teaching about Clan superiority and held none of the arrogance that Sasuke had already started to develop. Plus, Naruto was more inclined to sit down and listen, to discuss, and often had his own opinion formed from what he experienced himself, unlike Sasue, who always repeated the words of his father and never ever thought if they were right or wrong.
Then came the most bloody night in Konoha in recent history. The massacre of the Uchiha Clan. There were only six people who knew the truth behind the night. Itachi, Shisui, died shortly after being attacked by Danzo, Hiruzen, and his three advisors, Homura, Danzo and Koharu, and Naruto.
The butcher of the Uchiha Clan thought long about whether to tell the blond, but he came to the conclusion it would be better to do so. After all, Itachi would become a missing-nin and soon join this shady organization, meaning he would become an enemy to Konoha and there were only three people in the Village that could defeat him. This was not so bad, but what concerned Itachi was that Naruto had the potential to become a fourth person on this list, and knowing the blond, he would hunt down Itachi to beat the truth out of him and blow his cover as an undercover agent for the hidden leaf.
With this in mind, he informed the blond, who was heartbroken to lose one of his brothers so fast after only meeting him. However this also gave the blond motivation, to become strong enough and clear Itachi's name one day, so he could come back to Konoha, where he belonged. After the massacre and two years in ANBU, a six-year-old Naruto joined ANBU team Ro, under Captain Inu, and started to carve his name into the elemental Nations.
"Naruto?" The blond snapped back from his memories and grinned bashfully at his grandfather, scratching the back of his head.
"Sorry, got lost in thoughts, what were you saying?" Hiruzen sighed and shook his head before coughing in his hand and looking seriously at Naruto.
"You are a wizard,"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"You sure you have tobacco in this pipe?" A loud slap sounded throughout the office as Sandaime Hokage facepalmed.
Naruto sat in one of the clearings in the forest of death. He was inspecting a golden key with an emerald in the middle, which according to Hiuzen was needed to enter the vault with his Clan's fortune.
And that was the other thing, the Uzumaki Clan was not only one of the most important Clans in the elemental Nations but in the wizarding world. It was still difficult to believe for the blond that the elemental Nations were a large island hidden away by magic and seals from the outside world and now he was being sent there for it was an Uzumaki tradition to attend a Magic school.
The Sandaime hasn't been too helpful as all he knew was that Kushina had been sent my Uzumaki Mito on the first day of July on her 11th birthday to the outer world. Hiruzen also said that it stood in Kushina's will that he will be sent at the same time as she did. It really confused Naruto, but he decided to just roll with it and if something came up, he would like usually wing it.
He was currently waiting for the Sandaime to join him after which they would go to the old Uzumaki temple. Today was also the day he would be leaving Konoha, he spent the last week with his old ANBU team, Kakashi, Anko, and Kurenai. All of them became like family to Naruto over the course of time.
The blond couldn't help but smirk. 'A family of Cold-blooded Killers and Assasins,' Civilians, and from what Naruto learned, the people in the outer world would never call such people their family, but for Naruto, they were his most precious people and he would kill anyone who threatened them.
He looked up and saw the Sandaime appear in front of him. Extending his senses, the blond was surprised to not feel a single ANBU and it was not because he couldn't find them, the Hokage came alone.
"No guards?" The blond asked with a small smirk and rose to his feet, playing around with his key. Hiruzen chuckled and started to lead towards the Uzumaki temple.
"Is there any need when you are with me? besides, this is something that needs to stay a secret between the two of us,"
"Noone else knows about all this magic stuff?" Naruto asked with a surprised expression and the Hokage shook his head.
"The outer world was something that only the Uzumaki dealt with. In Konoha, only I , Jiryaia and Kakashi know. I know because Kushina and Mito-sama told me, however, were rather secretive about it. Jiraiya and Kakashi know because of how close they were to your parents,"
"I see and does the outer world know about elemental nations?"
"The non-magical world doesn't know, but the wizards do know, but not much, just that the Uzumaki Clan came from here,"
Soon they arrived at an old temple, which in the blond opinion was in dire need of repair. They stopped in front of the double doors and a sealing matrix revealed itself.
"Hm, a blood seal," Naruto muttered and walked over to the door. He took off his ANBU glove and bit his finger before using a few drops of blood to smear on the matrix. He put back his gloves and watched as the blood matrix spun before vanishing, the door opening itself, allowing entrance.
They entered and saw an altar in the middle with a weird-looking ritual mask laying on top of it. The two walked over to the altar and stood there for a moment before Naruto looked at Sandaime with an annoyed look.
"Now what?" Hiruzen sighed before giving the blond a broad smile.
"This is where we part ways, at least for now. When you touch this mask, you will be transported in front of the Uzumaki residence in the outer world,"
"So I go there and what? Search for this magic school or how does this work?" Naruto asked and groaned when the Hokage shrugged his shoulders.
"I have no idea," Was the honest reply. "Mito-sama and Kushina never revealed to me what happened after they used this... 'Portkey' as they called it,"
Naruto sighed and looked at the mask. If there was one thing he dislike, it must have been going in blind without any information. He hated such missions and this was no better. All alone in this new world without any idea what he was supposed to do, just great. The young Uzumaki sighed once again before giving his grandfather a smirk.
"Alright then, keep that seat warm for me. See ya," At the same time he said his last word, he grabbed the mask and vanished from Hiruzen's sight. The old man stood there for a few moments before laughing out loud.
"Good luck, Naruto-kun, I know you will figure out why all others were sent there. Make your parents proud," With those parting words, the Sandaime left the temple and sealed it shut.
And this is for the first Chapter.
For some time now I wanted to write about and Naru/HP crossover and finally decided to do it and here we are. I promise that the next Chapters won't be so short but I intended for this to be a prologue to the story. The idea is to write a light-hearted story so if you are expecting drama and amazing plot twists then I am afraid this is not what you are looking for.
Next Chapter we are arriving at the Uzumaki manor and learn more about the significance of the Uzumaki Family in the Wizarding world as well as prepare for Hogwarts. Drop reviews and tell me what you think!
For those who are interested, the current year is 1991, so Naruto will join Harry, Ron, and Hermione's year, but... well you will see.
Thanks for reading, see ya!
