England, West Country, Godric's Hollow
A figure in a black cloak, his intentions shrouded in mystery, walked down the minor road to his prize, a cottage at the end of the road.
"So that fool Wormtail did tell the truth," The man hissed as he walked forward before two people stepped out.
One was a man with short brown hair, his sharp eyes glinting in the dim light, dressed in a suit that seemed out of place in the rural setting. The other was a woman with long black hair cascading down her back, also dressed in a suit, who exuded an air of mystery and danger.
"So you both think that you can stop me?" the figure taunted, his voice dripping with confidence and arrogance as they pulled out their wands.
He did the same, and then, with a flurry of spells, the two sent out spells that would be batted away by the figure with ease.
After a while, the figure grew bored of the fight and just ended the both of them before their dead bodies lied on the floor, and then he just passed them both.
As he reached the house, he encountered a barrier. "What a trivial thing," the figure scoffed, his determination evident as he effortlessly disintegrated the barrier with a flick of his wand.
And just as it was, a woman came out of the cottage and started to fire spells at the man, who did not even blink and sent them away with little effort.
"So it seems more fools want to die this night," The figure said as he sent the Torture Curse at the woman, who screamed in pain that felt endless before he killed her and walked into the house.
The figure walked into the cottage; he looked to the stairs as he sent out another Killing Curse that killed a man who stepped out.
He found the stairs and started to walk up them and sent out two more curses that killed the two people on the landing.
And he soon reached the bedroom that held the one he was looking for.
So he opened it and found a small five-year-old boy with short, messy black hair and green eyes. A baby girl with a small tuff of red hair and hazel eyes was in his hand.
"There you are," the figure said to them as he raised his wand. A shocked gasp escaped his lips. "Why are you here? " he asked.
Outside the Cottage
The window was for the bedroom, and both children were dark before it gained a neon green light that was met with a royal purple light.
And after a little, the purple light won out between the two, and then it died down.
And then, a dark creature burst out of the window, shrouded in shadows and what looked like dark smoke.
After a few hours, a man looked like a boy but had hazel eyes, and a woman with red hair had the same green eyes as the boy in the cottage.
The man was dressed in dress pants with a button-up shirt, a jumper over the shirt, and round-rim glasses, while the woman was dressed in a black turtleneck, belted coat, and perfectly tailored trousers.
They both rushed past each of the bodies of the dead people, their hearts pounding with fear, only to find their children asleep, safe and sound. Both of them sighed in relief, their tension melting away.
"There find," The man said as he sat down.
The two ensured their children were as safe as another man burst into the cottage as he looked around.
He wore dark jeans, a black shirt, and a black leather jacket. He had lustrous black hair and grey eyes.
"Oh, thank the powers above and below," the man said, sighing after looking at the man and woman.
"Sirius what happened," The woman asked him.
"Me and Remus have been hunting down Peter when we got the message about the barrier being taken down," Sirius told her as the man looked at him.
"Did you get him," He asked.
"Me and Remus got to him with Amilia, but he managed to get away by changing into his rat form," Sirius told him.
"Dame it," The man cursed as he looked off.
"James," the woman said, her voice filled with determination as she looked at her husband. "Let's head to Hogwarts; we have to make sure Harry and Rose are alright," she told him, her eyes reflecting her unwavering resolve.
"Aright Lily," James told her as the three picked up the child and headed to the school.
The three then Apparited away, reappearing outside their old school and running across the bridge; as they entered the school and went up to the headmaster's office, they passed the gargoyle and ran up the stairs.
They then burst into the office, and the headmaster looked up. "James, Lily, Sirius, what can I do for you three? " he asked them.
"Albus, Voldemort attacked the house," James asked as the old man looked at Sirius.
"Remus and Alemia is on the hunt for Peter, but he's coving his tracks well," The man told the older wizard.
"I see," Dumbledor said as he looked at the sleeping children and started to check them over.
"I'm not sure, but their magic has reacted to the attack somehow," he told them as James and Lily's eyes shot wide.
"Are they okay?" James asked, his voice concerned as he looked over his daughter while Lily did the same for her son. Her worry was evident in her eyes.
Dumbledor pulled out his wand and started to mutter under his breath before he sighed in relief. "They're both fine, but it seems that Rose's magic has been slightly depleted," he told the two.
"Oh," Both said as they relaxed.
Dumbledor then looked at the two. "Tomorrow, I shall call the minister here, and we shall give him the news," he told them before Sirius saw something on Rose's neck.
"What's that? " he asked as James moved his daughter so he could have a better look. He saw that she had a scar the size of a lightning bolt on the base of her neck.
"It looks like Rose is the Girl-who-lived," Dumbledor said as he looked at the scar and as the adults talked but failed to see another scar on Harry's head, in the shape of a lightning bolt.
Two Years Later, Potter Manor
Harry sat in the library of Potter Manor and scoured through books and other documents.
His goal was to leave the manor forever.
For the last two years, he has been forced into a shadow for his life, practically forgotten in his own home.
He had not eaten with his family since last year as they forgot to call for him.
So he was now ready to leave.
He pulled a book on runes off the shelf, looked for the needed ones, and etched them on the floor.
Once he was done and looked down at them, he smiled, "This is it," he said as Harry stood in the middle of the circle he had drawn before sending his magic into the runes.
He failed to see a figure standing over him. It was a woman with long black hair and white skin.
Her eyes were amber, and she wore a full-body black cloak.
The rune glow turned blue to purple before Harry and the woman disappeared with a 'pop'.
Watching this was a house elf who had cared for Harry when his mother and father would not. "Goodbyes, Master Harry," she told him before she cleared the evidence and put away the books.
And to ensure that Harry's last order for her was complete, she put the letter to her mistress in her office.
Element Nations, Land of Fire, Konoha, Traning Ground 0
Two people were training as they attacked each other with Taijutsu. The first is a tall, fair-skinned man with blue eyes and spiky, blond hair with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. He was dressed in the standard Konoha uniform with two bands on both sleeves, a green flak jacket, a blue forehead protector, and blue sandals.
The other was a fair-skinned, slender woman of feminine build with violet eyes and crimson hair. Her hair was straight and reached her shins, with shoulder-length strands framing both sides of her face and a black clip that parted her hair to the left. She wore a black short-sleeved shirt and black mount-fitting pants.
"Come on, Minato. If you're the Hokage, you can't be seen with me beating you," the woman said to him as the now-named Minato smiled at her.
"Oh, really, you think so, Kushina," Minato asked as he teleported next to her, but she disappeared behind him and moved in for a kick.
"Quasi," she called out, performing a spinning kick while doing a handstand. "Queue," Kushina said, kicking his tailbone.
Minato fell to the floor as Kushina loomed over him with a fist to his face, "I win," She told him.
But she then leaned down and kissed him before she helped him up. " You're getting better in Taijutsu," she told her husband.
"Yes, but you have both the Rokushiki, Seimei Kikan, and the Kuroashi no Waza, and all I have is the," Minato said before a shockwave of energy busted out, not for them, as they both looked over to see a ball of energy.
Both ninja were on guard as they got ready before the energy ball broke away, revealing a young boy no older than six with messy black hair dressed in a dark red T-shirt and blue jeans.
Both of them looked around before Kushina lifted the boy. "Take care of him," both heard as they saw a woman's face in the forest's darkness. "His name is Harry. One day, he will be my master, and I must wait until that day, so please look after him," she told them.
"Who are you," Minato asked as a three-pointed kunai appeared in his hand.
The woman's figure started to change as her pale skin turned dark purple, and her face became demonic.
"Shinigami-sama," Kushina muttered as she looked at the woman, who turned back into her human form and nodded at Kushina.
"Yes, and before I must go," Shinigami said as she reached out her hand and placed a finger on a scar that was on Harry's scar before she started to pull something out of it as it looked like a creature biting at the air around them.
Her other hand pulled something out of the creature before putting it into Harry, and then the creature fell limp into her hand and turned to dust.
Shinigami looked at them before she faded into the darkness, leaving no trace behind her.
Minato and Kushina looked at each other before they rushed to the hospital and checked Harry in as they watched over him.
"What are we going to do," Minato asked his wife.
Kushina looked at him with a raised brow, "What do you mean," She asked him.
"Well, I can already tell that we're going to be adopting him, so first is he going to take your name or mine," Minato asked him.
"Well, as you are not from a clan, you are now a Uzumaki, the same as Harry," Kushina said as she looked down at the boy. She felt a connection to him and smiled gently. We're going to need a bigger house, and if he wants, he can start the ninja academy or a normal one," she told her husband, who nodded as Harry opened his eyes as Emerald met Amethyst.
He moved away from them, "Who are you," Harry asked them.
"Hello. My name is Minato, and this is my wife, Kushina," Minato told Harry as he smiled at him.
England, Lincolnshire, Potter Manor
Lily's scream filled the manor as her husband came running into her office, and he found her curled up against her desk, crying.
James knelt now to her and pulled her into his chest. "What the matter, Lil? " he asked her.
She said nothing but sobbed as she handed him a letter that she was clutching in her chest, so he looked at it, and he did not know what to say.
It read like this:
Dear Lily and James Potter
I call you that as I no longer see you as my mother or father. You do not treat me as your child, so why should I see you both of my parents?
When you read this, I have left in the night or gone through another plan to escape people who left me starving for three days if it was not for Tulip.
I want nothing from you both and never want to see your faces ever again, and if my plan to use runes backed fire and killed me, then it was worth it to get away from the two of you.
But if I somehow survived and were transported to another place, I would never want anything to do with you, and if need be, I would be on the run for the rest of my life, so be it.
If I get a Hogwarts letter, I will ensure I never go there. Lily Potter is a professor there, and I never want to see the faces that have caused me so much pain.
And I just wanted to let you know that I want nothing to do with that girl who lived, and she is not my sister, and I hope you all die.
Yours Hatefuly
Harry (no last name)
James covered his eyes as tears started streaming down his face. A man in a dirty suit walked in and saw the letter, and both said nothing as they hung their heads.
"I'll get Albus, maybe he can find Harry," James said as he looked at the man in the suit.
"I'll call him," He told James, who nodded.
Sirius looked at the two and looked down as he sank to his feet with tears in his eyes.
And that is how Dumbledor found them. He walked over and helped up both Lily and James. "Here, let's all sit down," he told them as he conjured two seats, "Now can you tell me what happened," Dumbledor asked them as they handed the letter to him.
He read it over and over before he sighed a heave and deep sigh, "I see," Dumbledor said as he looked at both Lily and James sadly, "I'm sorry that my hubris has done this to you, if I have not said anything, or simply said that Rose had just cut herslef on some wood, then this would not have happened," He told them as they looked at him.
"Your not the only one to blame Albus, alot of it rests on us," Lily told him as he looked at her.
"Can you find him," James asked as the man nodded.
Dumbledor stood up, pulled out his wand, and moved it in a large circle in the air. He started to mutter under his breath, and the magic trailed off his want in sparks, and a small window opened.
Before a scroll fell out of it and landed on the floor, "What's that." Sirius asked as he stood up.
Dumbledor picked up the scroll and opened it, "It seems that Harry is alive," He said as Lily and James smiled but saw the frown.
"What's the matter," The man in the suit asked the headmaster.
"It seems that Harry was quite smart in his approach to leaving. He used runes to connect to a world that is parallel to our own," Dumbledor said as he looked at the scroll, and the others looked at him in shock.
"How the hell did he do that," James asked.
"I do not know, but it seems that he is living in the county call the Land of Fire, the place that town or city he calls home is called Konohagakure," Dumbledore told them as they looked at each other.
No one said anything as Sirius looked at the headmaster. "What are we going to do to get him home? " he asked the man.
"I'm first going to need to get a set on that world and send someone there so they can locate Harry, before I create a gate," Dumbledor told them as they nodded.
"I'll volunteer," The man in the suit told Dumbledor, who looked at him.
"Are you sure Remus, I might not end well," He told the man.
"I know. If I make it to Harry, I can get him. If I don't make it, well, I don't have to worry about infecting someone with my curse," Remus told him, and Dumbledor nodded.
"I see," the older man said with a sad look. I shall start looking into a way, and I'll get back to you," he told them, and they nodded at him as Remus escorted him.
Sirius, James, and Lily stayed in the office as they looked at the door. "We'll find him, and we'll be better," James said as Lily looked at her husband. And the first thing we'll need to do is stop what we've been doing," he said as Lily nodded.
"Alight," Lily said as she stood up, "I'll get food on the way, and then we can start to plan on what to do," she told them as she walked to make a start on dinner.
Sirius and James watched her leave, "We'll get him back," Sirius told James.
"I know because I don't know what's going to happen if we don't," James said. He rubbed the remaining tears from his face and stood up. "And I really hope that we can make amends with him," he told his friend, who nodded, and the two walked to the kitchen.
Element Nations, Land of Fire, Konoha, Uzumaki House
Minato and Kushina led Harry into his new home and watched as he took everything in. "Why don't you get washed up, and I'll put some food on?" Kushina told Harry with a motherly smile.
Minato led him to the bathroom, and he started to speak with him as Kushina began to cook.
When they both returned, Harry looked at the chopsticks in confusion, and Kushina showed him how to use them.
That is when Harry started to feel at home. Minato and Kushina wormed their way into his heart as he slowly got used to them.
After a week, he talked more about himself and checked out both academies with Kushina while Minato worked.
He agreed to become a ninja and was enrolled into the academy.
After being with them for a month, he called Minato and Kushina, Otōsan and Okāsan to their joy.
Then, after a burst of accidental magic during his second month living with his new mother and father, Harry tells him of his old life. As Kushina scowls, she scolds him for what he did and hugs him, and tears fall from Harry's eyes.
"Don't ever do that ever agine," Kushina told Harry, who nodded with his head in Kushina's neck.
"How long did you go without food before that House Elf came to you," Minato asked Harry, who looked at his surrogate father.
"Three days," He told the man who scowled.
Minato shook his head, "I could I would have brought them to justace, but it seems that we live in another world to where you come from," He told him.
"Yeah," Harry said as Kushina broke the hug and held onto Harry's arms.
"I want you to promise me something," she told Harry, who nodded at her. "I want you to live a life full of joy, one that you pick, not one that is forced on you," Kushina told him as Harry's tears started to stream down his face. He hugged her tighter than he did as she smiled at him.
They were happy as Minato joined the hug, "Now if only we could make you our biological child," Minato told Harry, who looked at him.
"I think I can remember a ritual that you can do to blood adopt me," Harry told the Kage, who looked amazed.
"Can you remember how to do it? " he asked Harry, who closed his eyes before he nodded.
"Yeah, I need some chalk and something to carve into stone," he told the two as they looked confused. The chalk is for me to see if I've got the proper runes before I carve them," Harry said.
"We'll do that another time, but right now is dinner time," Kushina said as Harry nodded and went to the dining room; she looked at Minato and asked, "Do you think that this is a good idea?"
"I do, he was the shackles to his old family broken, and we're the only ones that know his trouble, so we can both break them," Minato told his wife, who nodded.
"Alright, when do you want to do this?" Kushina asked him as they made their way to the dining room. They stopped as they looked in, and both took in the image of Harry smiling.
Both of them could not help but smile. "Sunday, we'll use Fūinjutsu to add a touch to it, and it could boost the power of magic," Minato told his wife as she nodded. The two entered the dining room, and Kushina moved and brought food in.
Three Days Later
Harry was on the floor as he drew runes counterclockwise, while Kushina drew seals clockwise.
As they were done, they looked at their work before Kushina pulled out an ink brush while Harry held a kunai, and they started to engrave and form the seals and runes.
They both stopped multiple times to look at the work before continuing, and then they were done. Harry and Kushina smiled at each other.
"Now we just have to wait for your father to get home, and then we can start," Kushina said. Harry nodded, and Minato poked his head in.
"Then I'm glad the council meeting was a quick one," he told the two and walked over to them.
He looked around before looking at Harry and Kushina, "So how do we do this," Minato asked them.
"I can send a tiny bit of magic into the runes that will activate them while Okāsan sends chakra into the seal to activate it, and when we do, the magic and chakra will work together, and then, the two of you cut your hands, letting the blood drop onto the seal where I will cut by hand, the you blood will then mix in with mine, making so that you two are my mother and father," Harry told him as Minato nodded.
"Sadly we can not remove the bloodlines from his first family as the magical world think that is a bad thing, for somereason," Kushina said with a roll of her eyes.
And so the three stood ready, with Harry in the middle of the circle as he willed his magic into the runes, which started to glow a faint mixture of green and purple. Kushina sent the chakra into the seals, which began to glow a deep red, and Minato added his chakra as a yellow glow met the red.
The four lights glowed brightly before they all started to glow the same as Kushina and Minato raised a knife to their hands before cutting them, letting blood flow out of the cut and onto the seal.
Amazingly, the blood started to flow towards Harry, who cut his hand; the blood moved up and shot into the cut on Harry's hand as Minato's and Kushina's hands healed and Harry's cut closed.
The changes started to show as Harry's hair changed from a bird's nest to a more tamed spiky mop while his face rounded to look a little more like Kushina's. His facial features stayed the same, showing that he still looked like James Potter and had the emerald green eyes of Lily Potter.
And out of his hair grew a streak of crimson hair, the same shade as Kushina.
And within Harry, he could feel his chakra, which he had not long unlocked, grow in power.
"So how do I look," Harry asked them as the glowing runes and seal died down.
"Perfect," Kushina told him as Harry walked over to them and smiled at them.
Nine Days Later
Kushina watched as Harry was spared with a clone of hers, and she taught him the Kuroashi no Waza.
"Afternoon," Minato said as he walked into the house and over to overlook the garden and saw the training. "How's he doing," Harry said.
"I've talked with the instructor, and Harry is taking everything in like a sponge, he's at the top of his class like you, and like me he's got a group of good friends," Kushina told him.
"That's good," Minato told his wife as Harry kicked at the clone, who blocked the kick and returned one of her own.
But what shocked them was that Harry tensed his muscles as he stopped the kick from hitting his arm, "Tekki," He said as the clone's eyes widened before she smiled.
"It seems that Harry is a sponge," Minato said as the clone started to kick harder, and Harry began to return the kicks. He's even got a handle on the Tekki," he told Kushina, who nodded.
"Yep, he's good at Taijutsu, and he said that he wanted to learn another form of Taijutsu," She told her husband.
"That's good, at least. That means that he won't be dealing with people who have learned how to get around the Uzumaki fighting style," He told Kushina as the two watched.
The Next Day, Konoha Academy
Harry sat in class and listened to the instructor discuss the Shodaime Hokage.
Harry's clothes had changed. He wore black hakama pants, a black shirt with the Uzumaki clan spiral on the back, and black ninja sandals.
His glasses were also different. They looked like sunglasses with a sleek design that fit his face perfectly.
Harry listened as he learned about how the village was formed with the Shodaime using his Wood Release.
The instructor then moved the lesson to the Nidaime and his use of Water Release. He was so gifted in this use that he could draw water out of the air, which only the Shodaime Mizukage had ever done.
After that lesson was over, it was Taijutsu training with pairs being called up, and when Harry was called up, he stood across from the heir of the Uchiha clan.
Itachi Uchiha.
"Now form the Seal of Confrontation," The Taijutsu instructor told them as both of them did as they smiled at each other, "Begin," He called out as both Harry and Itachi rushed at each other and started to fight hand-to-hand.
They countered the other's fists, feet, arms, and legs, fighting in a circle before the instructor called an end; one of Harry's fingers was in Itachi's face, while Itachi's fist was in Harry's.
"This match is a tie," the instructor said as both boys lowered their arms. Now from the Seal of Reconciliation," he told them as they linked fingers.
"That was intense," A girl said as Itachi and Harry returned to the other students.
"I know, Uzumaki has only just joined us, and he's able to keep up with Itachi," A girl with three dogs said as she looked at the two.
"I know, I guess that thanks to Kushina-sama's trining," A boy said as the instructor called out the following two students.
Two hours passed as the next instructor walked out. "Alright, we're going to be doing the Ninjutsu portion of today, as everyone learned the three jutsu that was given to them last week," the woman said as everyone called out, saying yes. "Good, now there are some of you that can use your clan clone jutsu or a different one, as your clan had messaged me, so then we'll start with that," she said as she called up the first person.
