"Aye Tsunade-sama. You called for us?" Sakura asked bowing at her master.

"Yes, but we have to wait until everyone's here. You all are about to get the same mission but I need everyone here because this is very important."

"Oh ok. Well…"

"Ahhhh! Grandma Tsunade! You called for the great Naruto Uzamaki?"

"Oh pipe down you loser," Sasuke mumbled. Naruto entered Tsunade's office followed closely by Sasuke, Neji, Hinata, and Ino.

"Sasuke, why are you always calling Naruto a loser?" Sakura asked. He frowned at her before shrugging his shoulders.

"I dunno. I guess he's a loser compared to me," he said grinning,

"You're all losers," Neji mumbled.

"Hey what you say?" Sasuke asked, bowing up at Neji. Neji's Byakugan eyes flashed dangerously.

"It doesn't matter what I said. You can't do anything about it so what of it?"

"ALRIGHT! STOP THIS ARGUING AND SHUT UP! YOU ALL HAVE A MISSION TOGETHER AND IF YOU DON'T START GETTING ALONG I WILL DEMOTE ALL OF YOU BACK TO GENIN!" They all got surprisingly quite. No one dared say a word. It would just be too embarrassing for one jonin and the rest chunin to get demoted back to genin.

"Wow. You should say things like that more often Tsunade-sama," Shizune commented.

"What do you mean? I was dead ass serious. Now then, now that I have everyone's undivided attention, I can tell you the details of your next mission."

"ALRIGHT! Is it dangerous? I hope it's dangerous!" Naruto squealed.

"Give it a rest before I pound you," Sakura commented.

"Now then, your mission involves Orochimaru." Everyone just stared at her, their mouths wide with shock.

"Orochimaru huh?" Naruto smirked. "Do I get another shot at him? I would love to pound him to a bloody pulp after what he did to me and Sakura."

"Where is he?" Sasuke growled.

"Now just calm down everybody and listen up. He's not here. In fact, he's no where near here. He's in a whole other dimension where he is now a threat to some really good friends of mine."

"Another dimension? How is that possible?" Neji asked.

"Have you guys ever read the story of Harry Potter?" Tsunade asked.

"Uh…yeah but isn't that just some made up story for entertainment? I mean, there can't be such things as wizards…can it?" Ino asked.

"Actually, every word that you read in the books is true. There IS a Harry Potter and there IS a Voldemort but he's in hiding."

"The books claim that he died long ago."

"Ino you actually take the time to read?" Naruto asked.

"Yes I do and if you read more often you wouldn't be such an idiot!" she screamed.

"Ahem!" Tsunade cleared her throat to get everyone back on task. "As I was saying, there really is a boy named Harry Potter and there really are wizards. They live in another dimension and I have reason to believe that's where Orochimaru is hiding. Since I have to stay here and watch over the village I have no choice but to send all of you there."

"To this wizarding world?" Ino asked apparently still confused.

"Yes, but here's the deal-you may be there for quite some time. In fact, it may be a whole year."

"WHAT?!?! WHAT ABOUT MY TRAINING?!?!?! THAT PERVY SAGE PROMISED ME THAT…."

"Naruto, I swear if you scream out like that one more time I'll make sure you're a genin for life!" Tsunade said grimly, leaning across her desk.

"Fine. So what are we supposed to do?" he sulked.

"You're going to be staying at Hogwarts. You're going to be students undercover there. You will be sorted into houses and everything. Dumbledore and I have already talked about it but I really need you guys to cooperate with him. I know you guys are the experts on Orochimaru but you guys have no idea how bad he'll be if he manages to find Voldemort."

"HAHAHAHA!"

"Naruto, what's so funny?" Sakura asked.

"What the hell kind of name is Voldybutt?" he asked, falling back onto the floor rolling with laughter. Tsunade's face went red and Sakura feared for everyone's life. She drew back her fist and pounded Naruto in the stomach.

"Ow…Sakura that…I'll shut up now," he winced.

"So…so you mean…I'll get to meet THE Harry Potter?" Ino asked excitedly.

"Yes, but be careful. While you're there, your bodies will change dramatically. You'll also be required to get wands and learn magic although most of your ninjutsu and genjutsu will be the envy of most at Hogwarts."

"Alright, so when do we leave? How do we get there?" Neji asked.

"Good question. You'll be leaving using a portkey but we'll get to that in a second. Naruto I told the headmaster that you're going to be quite the troublemaker. Do try to prove me wrong," she said with a sigh. "Sakura, I'll expect a written report every week from you understand?"

"Hai!"

"Oh and one last thing, this is not just some vacation. Orochimaru is out there somewhere and no one knows how dangerous he is except us. Don't expect the students at Hogwarts to sympathize very much. Sasuke, Naruto, you two be especially careful." Both boys nodded and listened for further instructions. "Now about the portkey…"

----------------------------------------

"Alright students. Settle down. I have a few start of term announcements to make," Dumbledore said. "For starters Filch has asked me to mention that there is to be no Retching Frisbees inside the building. If he sees you with them then I have given him permission to confiscate them."

"Oh man. Hey Fred, looks like you and George are out of business," Ron hissed.

"Ah come now Ronny Boy. You should know George and me by now. We have a plan," he replied with a grin. A few seconds later, the doors of the Great Hall opened and in walked six of the strangest dressed individuals they had ever seen. Harry nudged Hermione in the ribs but she and Ginny were already in deep conversation.

"Oh yes, I guess it's time," Dumbledore replied happily. Harry watched as Professor McGonagall walked forward carrying the sorting hat.

"Harry, are we really having a sorting?" Neville asked.

"Looks that way but…" He studied the new students closely for a moment. "But they look like they're closer to our age. There's just no way they could be first years." Harry's thoughts were interrupted by Dumbledore's voice.

"This year, Hogwarts would like to welcome six new students. They will probably only be here for just this year but all the same they will become part of our family. That being said, I find it only more than appropriate to place them among your individual families by way of the sorting hat. Who knows? They might stay longer if they feel welcome and I trust each house will won't disappoint. Now before I start the sorting I need to tell you a little bit about these students. They are from the village of Konoha and if you want to know more then you are more than welcome to ask them about it. Where they come from, they don't use magic. They really don't need it since they are all highly trained ninjas. They are here on a mission but they are not inclined to give you all details of the mission so don't ask. Another thing, just because they don't use magic doesn't mean you should take them lightly. If you do, you may find yourself in a world of trouble and I don't know many magic spells that can counteract genjutsu or ninjintsu." Dumbledore nodded towards McGonagall before taking his leave.

"The sorting will begin momentarily so get ready."
