Harry found himself looking at this man with gravity defying silvery hair. One eye dark, the other was closed with what looks like a scar running down the middle of it. "Nice to meet you, Harry." The man spoke his voice heavy with an Asian accent, he takes the teen's shoulder in hand as he whipped out an orange book. Pushing Harry ahead, the man seems to be amused. "Professor-san I shall return shortly. I wish to speak with him in private." Albus nods his head with a concerned look. Knowing some of his students...it could get ugly. "Should I be worried Fawkes?"

His answer given as the phoenix warbles its answer. Preening while on his perch the firebird just sings a jaunty little tune as it was relaxed. Fawkes knew that the shinobi was harmless. Well except to those who would test him that is. He had heard much of the conversation between this one and the other two. This Kakashi by shinobi standards was considered a genius. So, the man with the silver hair will be just fine and can handle himself. But it does get the phoenix gets to thinking though. When he decided to be Dumbledore's friend and stay with him, his family had allowed him. Mostly because no one had caught their interest in the Shinobi world. It does give him a lot to think about as he looks after the boy who just left.

Harry may need them...

The old man was worried for the kid. And well despite everything that has gone on. Harry Potter still rose from the bottom to beat the situation he is. To be renewed with a hidden strength. Much like a phoenix... Food for thought as he contemplates an overdue visit to his family.

Putting the book away as they approach the courtyard, he watches as this teacher of his cousin leans back with what could only be a smile on his feature. Turning to look at him, Harry could sense that he was being studied. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, the man reaches out and pats his head.

"Just like Naruto." Those words cause Harry to relax, but also to hope. Curious he looks at the man, "what is he like?" the teen asks. "I mean how is he?"

"Naruto?"

Just looking at him, Harry listens as the other man gives a smile. "Naruto is Naruto. One of a kind in our village. He is what you would call our number one most surprising shinobi. He has done a lot for our village. Both good and bad." He chuckles.

"Bad?" Confused, the man turns towards him and explains about his student's pranks. Amusement in his voice, Harry already thinks about payback and having a chat with the Weasley twins later. Still though as he hears more about what his cousin had done, his heart grows a little bigger. Now quiet, this Kakashi looks at him expectantly and sheepish to say the least, the man simply says one word. "You?"

"Me?" Harry spoke in surprise. Nodding his head, the teenager is thoughtful on what he should say. "I guess you could say I am just ordinary in my opinion. Well normal for a wizard." He states with all honesty. "The thing is... there are those..."

"People after you? The Hokage knows about it, so before I talk to Dumbledore-san. You tell me what happened in your eyes."

Unsure of where to start, he begins with what he knows. Starting with the events from first year and continuing on to the events at the ministry. The last bit making him sad as it was when Sirius died as he fell into the veil. A sad emotion, he feels that comforting hand squeeze on his shoulder. That lone eye looking at him with understanding and regret. But before he could speak anymore, the man starts talking.

"Scared, were you?"

"How did you know?"

An almost saddened look on his features, "Naruto would probably do the same thing when faced with events such as those." He replied. "Brave when it comes to others, but when it is his own family and those he loves, he is not sure what to do. He often hides his feelings which I can tell already you do as well."

"Why?" Harry couldn't help but ask. Kakashi turning towards him, he listens as he replies. "Because he's been alone a long time Harry. And things have not been easy for him. He is just now coming into his own recently thanks to his friends and people he loves. He's even got dreams of being Hokage of our village."

"Hokage?"

"The strongest ninja and leader of our village." The man chirps. "Although Naruto is fast testing her patience at times. Heh heh"

Harry glares a bit as he finds his hair being ruffled much to his annoyance. Somehow, he knows this man is trying to rile him up. But it is then as the scar on his head is revealed, he finds the man look with what could only be a knowing stare.

"Well now, you and Naruto do indeed have much in common. Got to tell Tsunade-sama about that.""

"Huh?" Puzzled by his phrase, he is about to say something else when the shinobi shakes his head. "Not my place to say."

Wanting to respond to that, Harry doesn't for he does understand. "Not allowed?"

"Pretty much." The shinobi stated, confusing him more. But remembering what was said a few minutes ago, he realizes that his cousin might have a scar as well. ?Before he can say anymore, the gravity defying ninja says something that startles him. "How would you feel if we taught you some of our skills?"

Eyes widening at this, Harry just looks at the other man with confusion. "What? Why?"

Kakashi looks serious as he looks at him dead in the eyes. "Life in Shinobi nations is very different from here. You will need more than that stick to survive. You would have to consider it Harry. I will not lie to you. Naruto would even tell you, that there are people and monsters that make some of the ones we have seen here look like kittens. But that is something that if you are willing, we will discuss in Konoha. But when and if the Hokage says it is all right, depends on you."

Thinking of what he has said, Harry is deep in thought. Appreciating the fact that the man, unlike others, says it is his choice he starts contemplating what he offered. He finds himself heavily leaning towards it. There might be other places he could go, but Naruto was family. And if he had to get stronger to be with his family and not protected all the time? Well, that was something he would go for and according to this guy he would need it.

About to say something the man proceeds to hand him a picture. In it was a teen with blonde hair that battled on being a golden color, his eyes were a bright blue. And although they don't look alike. There is something that clicks inside him that knows this guy was family.

"Latest picture taken from his godfather, whom he is traveling with at the moment. The Hokage gave me one to give you in case you were wondering."

Seeing the friendliness in the picture. Harry decides then and there. It might be hard but to be able to have a family and a place to go. It would be worth it. "Yes. I want to learn."

Nodding his head, the man once again ruffles his hair. Immensely irritated by that, he somewhat glares at the man who whips out the book and starts walking back the way they came. Chasing after him as he might need a password to get through the door, especially as with classes getting out. He somehow avoids running into anyone on the way. All of them pausing to look at the new guy as they wonder who he was. He stops from following the man as Hermione and Ron have him pause for a moment.

"Harry?" Hermione asks with puzzlement in her eyes. Having heard about the accident the night before in the common room, he knew she was feeling guilty over the fact she is going to the Burrow with Ron and not him. But looking at her with bright eyes, she and Ron, both find themselves relaxing. "You decided then."

Nodding his head, he was about to respond when a hand grabs the back of his robes and moves him away from a hex about to hit him. Hearing the Asian accent speak up. "Now now, I don't need to interfere in this do I?" Turning around as he is released to find Malfoy and his goons looking up in shock. He and the others were surprised as even though the man was standing. He was standing on the ceiling with the book still in his hand as he spoke.

Doing a flip down, he just walks off again as their eyes follow him. All of a sudden remembering he had to go with him, Harry takes off running as they make way to Dumbledore's office. His classmates chattering in wonder about how the man did it.

Konoha

In the middle of paperwork and wishing for some sake. Tsunade was on the verge of crying. Reason being for everything she gets done. 10 more arrive in its place. It is then that a fiery pop once more comes forth. Looking up, she smiles as she sees the bird land to the side of the papers as it drops another scroll. Giving a warbling song of joy as she digs out some meat from a sandwich she has yet to eat, the phoenix gives a little nuzzle of delight as it chows down.

Taking the scroll in hand she smiles and then frowns slightly as reads what is written.

He said yes. And I would contact Jiraiya for he has a seal on him as well.

Worry in her eyes at this note, she knows all of the 9 are accounted for here in the Shinobi nations. As now apparently, the west may be having issues. Concern on her features, she grabs some more paper to write with. Just like the cousin does Naruto he has a right to meet this Harry and judge for himself. And knowing this would require him to come back with her old teammate, she explains in the letter of what is happening and that for the youth to return as soon as possible.

Making the motions a small slug appears. "Take this to Jiriaya."

"hai Tsunade-sama!" The little summons chirps as it is stowed in the bag it carries. Moments later it disappears…

Now writing out her response to Kakashi, she rolls it up and looking to the phoenix, it offers its claws before chirping out its acceptance. Disappearing once more, she returns to her paperwork. Knowing that in a few days she should have a visitor.

Somewhere near Cloud Village the next day

Watching as his student trains. Jiraiya reminisces about the past with the teen's parents. Looking so much like his father and having much of his mother's personality. Naruto was the best of both. Exuberant and cheerful, he could also be thoughtful and sometimes come up with ideas on the fly just like both his parents did. It often worked to when he got into a sticky situation. laughing to himself as he remembers how the kid figured out how to make a Rasengan with a clone's aide in a week was interesting to say the least. His father would have been proud. It took Minato a good while longer to create it. As to Kushina, the woman's fiery personality and need to prove herself went even further. She gave Naruto a determination to do things most Shinobi would have given up on.

Giving a small smile as Naruto worked on using his chakra control, he was startled as a slug with a package emerged with a happy smile on his lap. One that he is quite familiar with…

"Greetings Lele"

"Hi Jiraiya-sama! I come bearing a message from Tsunade-sama!"

Taking it from the summons, the creature waves goodbye from her antennas and disappears. Opening it as Naruto pauses with curiosity as the arrival had brought him out of his trance. The sannin just gives him a look causing him to back off for a bit. The bandages that even now that are on Jiriaya's chest had caused the teen even now to feel guilty about the incident he can't think about nor want to. It is why even now he works on his control of not only his but the Kyuubi's chakra in hope it never happens again.

Gesturing for the blonde to get back to it, the Toad Sage eyes widen at what it says.

Jiriaya

I need you to bring the gaki back. Apparently in the western wizarding nations it seems Kushina's sister was killed. Yes, we all thought she had died when they were little but apparently Mikoto was not. You know the deal with warring villages. But a family took her in, and she grew up in their world as a woman named Lily.

Apparently, she had married someone named James Potter and they had a son whose name is Harry. Our favorite Gaki has a cousin! The youth is right now in trouble though. Trouble that only Naruto can fix at the moment for what I am told. From what this boy's guardian at the moment states, the last of the family who took him in just died recently and he has nowhere to go. Reason I am saying this is that according to this Albus Dumbledore, he can set it up for Harry to be hidden from those who want him, with help from Naruto.

For that he would need to come here though and according to Kakashi he is willing. But also, there is something about the youth I want you to see. He too has a seal on him like Naruto. Harry is apparently a Jinchurikki and I do not think that the wizards know what they have.

With this and for the fact that Harry is a cousin. I authorize you to return. But to tell Naruto of his family. For if we tell him of one and not the other, will be unfair.

Tsunade

Sighing as he was looking forward to telling the blonde when he was older and more in control of his emotions. Naruto will be upset for sure to learn who really sealed the demon in him was. Not to mention it's just been a little over two years since the valley of the End, and the teenager was still sad about the loss of his friend.

"Hey brat come here."

"What is it?"

Waiting as the youth gathers himself to come over and sit, he contemplates how he is going to tell him. He knows the kid will be happy to have some answers, but well the rest he won't be.

"Naruto...Tsunade has told me to let you know about your family."

Confusion evident, the kid looks at him with eyes that admittedly are unsure now of what to ask. Knowing full well what the teenager will want to know as to the reasons and who and everything Jiriaya begins to talk.

"Remember the Kyuubi and how the 4th sealed it in you?"

"Yeah" A frown appearing on his lips, the younger shinobi stares down. A familiar pain in his slump that he has seen too much in the boy. He regrets to be honest not being there for him. To protect him from the others, the man had to maintain the network. He keeps going though as stares at the kid with fondness and a little pained regret. "His name was Minato Namikaze…." Trying to find the right words to say it the white-haired man just blurts it out bluntly as it was all he could think of, "And well he had a wife. Her name was Kushina, Naruto. Kushina Uzumaki."

Backing up for a moment, the blonde just stares at him with disbelief. His voice shaky and unsure. Contrary to popular belief, Naruto wasn't that stupid. He does listen when things that he loves are involved. And the youth has always wanted to learn about who his parents were and why he was alone. So lately he has been wondering why some people had commented that he was starting to look like the face of his idol on the mountain...he simply didn't see it.

"That...that..."

"Yeah kid, the 4th was your father."

Just sitting there with his head down, the kid is silent for several minutes. His body shaking with pain as a lot of what he bottled up over the years, came forth.

"Why…. why the hell did he put in in me." He asked his eyes and face as he looks up, they were filled with tears and anger.

"Would you have asked anyone else to give up their child Naruto? Would you have made someone give you their son or daughter to become its jailer?" Jiriaya said quietly. "He couldn't, it wouldn't be right. And besides he knew you could do it."

"What do you mean?" He asked in confusion, his voice shaking as he takes this all in. "Your mother was the previous Jinchurriki. He figured with her blood reigning through your veins you could do it. In fact, his words were that he knew you could do it. You were his son."

Startled the teen finds himself, rubbing at his eyes. "Then how...how did it attack, why was it out? Did she just decide to say hey let's release the demon and destroy my son's life. Did my dad help her!"

Slapping the blonde across the cheek, Jiriaya glared at him with anger. "DON'T EVEN THINK THAT NARUTO!" Pulling and holding the blonde in a hug as he cries even more. His own regret in slapping the teen, "Kid, Kushina and Minato wanted you badly. When she got pregnant with you, your father immediately started buying everything he can think of for your arrival. Heh he even forgot a few times to go to work, because he wanted to get even more for you. Kushina had to literally cut the purse strings at the bank before they went broke from his spending."

A little laughter coming from the blonde. Jiriaya waits till Naruto composes himself before he continues. "The reason why I am telling you this Naruto is your mother had a sister."

Eyes widening at the thought, the blonde whispers with hope. "I... I have family?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Aunt and her husband were murdered apparently Naruto." Jiriaya said quietly. His heart breaking as Naruto's eyes seen to go dull with a shattered look of sorrow. The older man having read the document sent with the letter. Bit this this time this look; he will be happy to erase with his next sentence. "But they had a son, Naruto. And he is very much alive."

Blue eyes glimmering with a quiet joy that is real and not the mask. The sannin gives a ruffle of blonde hair as it disappears when he looks at his belly. "Naruto, he will like you."

"But..."

"Give him a chance gaki. I am sure he will not care. Especially since he needs your help."

His head looking up sharply, Naruto can't help but ask. "Why?"

"Remember how Itachi and his friend said they were coming for you at the hotel that day?"

"Yeah." The teenager replies as he looked at him with something of a stony gaze. Because not long after that, his best friend left and nearly killed him for power. It was a time that the blonde would admit he didn't like to think about because it hurt him too much.

"Your cousin, whose name is Harry by the way. He has people after him like you do."

"WHAT!" Naruto screamed as he jumped up. "We have to help him, Pervy Sage. We got to! Family or not!"

"Calm down, he's at his school in a safe place." The white-haired man replied with a smile. "Kakashi is with him."

"Kakashi-sensei?"

"Yeah, he knew the kid's language enough that he was chosen by Tsunade to see what he thought of the boy and his situation. Not to mention to see if there was anything we could do."

Looking at him almost impatiently, Jiraiya chuckled as the blonde looked at him. Knowing full well what the kid is going to ask "Yeah kid, Kakashi told her your cousin agreed to come here. So, I suggest we gather our things in the morning and making our way back to Konoha don't you think."

Nodding his head, the blonde smiles. "Yeah!"
