Broken Seals of a Pure World

Author's Notes:

So this is my first ever fic and it's a crossover, so go easy on me. Also, this is SLASH, so if you don't like it, don't read it. I own absolutely NOTHING of Naruto and Harry Potter (except maybe my plot bunny and any OC that might pop up), and I'm doing this for my own amusement, as well as for those who would appreciate my efforts at story-telling. This is AU for both series and EWE for Harry Potter. Harry and any HP characters will be given Japanese names when they interact with Naruto characters, but will still be using their original names from HP when they refer to each other. Enjoy~!

Chapter 1 – Awakening

Green eyes opened and with a gasp of air, achieved consciousness. Waking up like he did was an experience he didn't relish doing anytime soon. Harry James Potter, or Senju Haruki as he is now known as since coming to this world, is in what appears to be a very confined space. If it were any other situation, it would've been better to say it was a coffin. But being in a coffin would mean he was dead, and if he was dead, then breathing would be unnecessary. Ghosts didn't breathe, and with the ghosts he'd encountered before, as well as all the other undead, they didn't breathe either. He had to get out of this somehow, because as much as realizing that he is in fact alive, actually dying now in that condition and in a place like this is not his idea of a good end. Air will become scarce, and with that thought, getting out of this prison is suddenly starting to become a good idea.

Using all his strength, he put his arms in front of him and pushed upward from his lying position. Opening the coffin (because what else would you call it?), Haruki got up and began to see where he is. It's dark, like in the coffin but not as dark. With a muttered a Lumos, light appeared in his left palm illuminating the room. He then threw the light to a corner of the room and conjured three more lights and threw them to the three other corners, completely illuminating the room with it.

The room itself is quite large with a very high ceiling. The walls were made of stone, as well as the floors and ceiling. He looked up and began to search around, seeing pillars going high to the ceiling and some sort of raised dais of which he was currently on. However, the only thing of note in this room is the sarcophagus from which he had woken from. There was nothing actually special about this room, this seemingly grand hall. Looking down to where the coffin lay, there are seals on the floor surrounding it in a circular fashion. The coffin itself held seals strapped to it but many are torn and dilapidated, some of the ink fading from age.

Confused as to how he got there in the first place, he proceeded to conjure a mirror and check himself for injuries or anything that can give him any clues. He didn't feel any different. Looking at the mirror, there also seems nothing amiss. Strange, nothing seems to have changed. In fact, his hair still looks like a mess (or a rat's nest, depending on who you ask) and it's still black, reaching to his shoulders and framing his face. His scar is still there on his forehead and nicely covered by bangs. He did notice however, that he is wearing white robes, similar to what a deceased person would be wearing. He didn't remember wearing this particular outfit.

In fact, he distinctly remembers wearing a green yukata and matching slippers. He also remembers that he was in the surrounding forests of Konoha, picking up herbs for potion-making. He was minding his own business when suddenly, darkness and then nothing. Next thing he knows, he's here in this dark room. "Where is this place? How long have I been here? More importantly, what am I doing here?" he thought. Getting out from this accursed place seems like a good idea right about now.

Haruki proceeded to walk a long way towards the other end of this mysterious room. Getting down from the raised platform proved difficult especially seeing as he just woke up from what appears to be a long sleep; his muscles needing to get used to movement. Reaching the very edge of the hall, Haruki looked back from where he came from. From where he's standing, this place very much resembles a shrine, or even a tomb. The thought sent shivers down his spine. Who would want to entomb him, when he's clearly very much alive?

He then looked at the door. It's locked, but a simple Alohomora did the trick and it opened. It revealed a spiral staircase going up. Putting his palm in front of him, he murmured another Lumos and cancelled the lights in the previous room. He then climbed up slowly making sure nothing is amiss; this place could be trapped for all he knows.

It's quite a long ways up, concluding that wherever he must be is underground. HIs suspicions were proven right when at the end of his trek he was met with a trap door overhead. Another Alohomora opened it to reveal a shrine or temple of some sort. The big fan symbol on the top was a big giveaway to where he was currently: the Uchiha District.

While getting out from beneath the shrine was simple enough, getting out of the shrine itself is a different thing altogether; the temple doors are apparently barred from the outside.

Wanting to leave as soon as possible, he raised his right hand and shouted, "BOMBARDA!" blasting the temple doors open with tremendous force and destroying the heavy wooden doors. The explosion caused him to cover his face and close his eyes to protect them from the debris. Just as the smoke cleared, Haruki headed outside.

Once outside, he walked along the streets of the Uchiha district, finding things have changed since he'd been here last. "Strange, people should be checking out that ruckus. Why is the police force not investigating?" he thought. Usually they'd be on to you with that kind of stunt, especially on their own turf.

Treading along, he recognized his surroundings. Some houses he'd seen before, others are completely new. He didn't stop to dwell on this peculiarity for long though, it's not like he came here all the time; the Uchiha clan were quite a paranoid bunch when it came to outsiders, and especially those who carried the name Senju.

He also noticed the silence. "It's too quiet," he thought, "I wonder where the people are." Some of the buildings, he noticed, showed signs of disuse and he couldn't shake the feeling that the whole place looks and feels like a ghost town.

"Where is everyone? Isn't this the main street? People should be here walking around!" he thought.

When he reached the entrance to the district, a feeling of dread overcame Haruki. "I'm getting a bad feeling about all this," he muttered loudly. Everything he'd seen so far has been nothing short of suspicious. Deciding to get answers, he thought that the best way to get them would be to return to the village proper. The Hokage would surely have some answers for him. If not, there are people he could ask to investigate about what happened to him.

If nothing else, he'd at least know that everyone is alright.

He decided to make a run for it, not wasting anytime. The Uchiha clan lived near the outskirts of Konohagakure, and it wasn't that far from the village. As he approached the village he's starting to hear lots of screaming and explosions.

"Fighting!" he thought. "Didn't the Senju make peace with the Uchiha? Is that why their district is abandoned, they're fighting again?" He distinctly remembered the peace treaty between Uchiha and the Senju when they founded the first shinobi village. The worry he felt earlier increased and he ran faster. The Hokage wouldn't put up with this, there has to be an explanation.

He felt apprehensive, entering the village. Just yesterday, the village of Konoha didn't look like it did now with its taller buildings and such, and it certainly wasn't in absolute bedlam, with its walls crumbling and smoke going up to the sky. There certainly weren't giant snakes there as well.

"What's the bloody hell's going on?" he thought. Going further in Haruki can see the conflict first-hand. He recognized the Konoha shinobi fighting against what appears to be Sunagakure shinobi. There were also shinobi wearing hitai-ate with the symbol of a musical note, which he didn't recognize. Casting disillusionment and notice-me-not charms on himself, he came a bit closer, sticking to the walls so he wouldn't get in the way of the crossfire.

When the shinobi villages were first formed, there wasn't any conflict between the different countries as far as he knew. He was part of the Senju but that didn't mean he was privy to most of the clan's secrets like the others, and he certainly wasn't allowed in government, not that he wanted to be. The others said it was to protect him. "Bollocks" he thought.

Though it certainly wasn't a fair fight, what with Konoha apparently against Suna and those other mysterious shinobi from an unknown village, it seems that the home team is somehow holding on their own. As a former Gryffindor, he couldn't let this slide. Deciding to help out his fellow Konoha nin, he started formulating a strategy. He'll fight his way through the village and cut down every enemy he sees if he had to and find the Hokage, and finally learn what the hell's going on in this place.

With a muttered words, he proceeded to changed his white robes from the shrine into his battle gear: a black dragon hide jacket with short sleeves reaching to his biceps and coat tails reaching all the way to mid-calf with the symbol of the Senju Clan at the back, as well as on the collars; a mesh armor covered by a green vest made of Acromantula silk underneath the jacket; black fingerless gloves made of the same dragon hide as his jacket; his pants were black, also made of Acromantula silk held up by a black belt made of dragon scales from a Hungarian Horn-Tail with the buckle bearing the symbol of Konoha, and black combat boots of the same material as his jacket and gloves reaching mid-calf. Attached to his belt and located at the back was a bottomless pouch stocked with kunai, shuriken, tags and seals, as well as potions of all types. Lastly, there was his hitai-ate that he wore as a headband effectively covering his once infamous scar. It was given to him by the Hokage when the village of Konoha was just starting out.

Shortly after donning his battle gear, Haruki came out of his hiding place and dispelled his disillusionment and notice-me-not charms. He then proceeded to the nearest fighting where a 3-man Genin team was being attacked by what seemed like adult enemy shinobi. Although a Genin is considered an adult by other shinobi, years from his old life before he came to this world conditioned him that though these children are trained killers, they are just that: children.

The three Genin were being surrounded by at least seven adult shinobi both from Suna and that unknown village. He approached them just as one of them attacked, and shouted, "Look out!" The kids heard him and looked up. Two were able to dodge what looked like a sand-based jutsu cast by a Suna Nin from above while hanging off the side of a building.

One of the children however, a boy around eleven or twelve, got hit at the side and was thrown backwards when the he attempted to dodge. He got caught just as the jutsu's direction was changed at the last minute. He's bleeding but luckily he's still conscious. His two friends then rushed to his side, kunai raised and ready to defend him.

Haruki knew that he had to get to them, if he's to hope they live. Concentrating and picturing the location in his mind, he Apparated beside the children. With a loud crack, all shinobi in the immediate vicinity suddenly looked to where he appeared and for a while were stunned with the appearance of a new-comer.

A shinobi with the musical note hitai-ate overcame his momentary daze and threw a few kunai toward Haruki and the Genin, which stopped in mid-air and dropped to ground.

Haruki then raised his left hand and said, "Avada Kedavra!" Green light burst forth and hit the shinobi as he tried to cover his eyes from the blinding light. The others were stunned as their comrade dropped dead when the light hit him. Before they could react however, Haruki cast a mass paralysis spell against the remaining enemy Nin, paralyzing them but keeping them aware and vulnerable.

"Don't just stand there, now's your chance! ATTACK!" he said to the awed Genin.

The two uninjured Genin snapped out of it and quickly dispatched the stunned enemies.

The girl of the team pulled out all the stops and proceeded to throw everything she had on one of the Suna Nin; the other Genin, another boy enlarged his arms, then proceeded to pummel another enemy to death. Haruki produced fire balls on both hands and blasted the enemy two at a time; the Genin were able to kill one each.

When they were done, Haruki looked to the injured one and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'll be okay." He winced adding, "How troublesome."

"Shika~!"

"Shikamaru!"

"You okay?" The two Genin asked as they approached their friend. They were now aware of the new-comer who came to help them just in time. They helped their friend stand up from his sitting position, and though it was a bit difficult, they succeeded in helping him up. The injured boy's shoulders were sagged and his left hand was across his chest and was holding his bleeding right side, where he got hurt.

"Thanks a lot! I thought we were done for. They almost got us!" The girl said. Now that Haruki got a good look at her, he noted that she had blonde hair and blue eyes. Her teammate, the uninjured one is rotund, and mentally

"Don't mention it. I just couldn't let those thugs win, it wasn't a fair fight." Haruki said.

"I've never heard of those jutsus you just did, but that was incredible. Not to sound suspicious or anything, but who are you?" The injured boy asked, seemingly awed and suspicious at the same time. He has that calculating look about him that made Haruki feel like he was being profiled to within an inch of his life. "You're wearing a Konoha hitai-ate and Konoha symbols, but I don't think I've seen you around before."

"Oh well, I am Senju Haruki. And as you can see, I'm also a shinobi of Konoha. Who might you kids be? Mind telling me your names?"

"Senju? You're part of the Senju Clan? Really?!" the girl asked with a bit of incredulity.

"I am most assuredly a member of the Senju!" Haruki said defensively. Why would he lie about who he is?

"Stop being troublesome Ino. In any case, I'm Nara Shikamaru, that guy over there is Akimichi Chouji. That troublesome-"

"Hey!" interjected the girl

"-girl is Yamanaka Ino. We're from Team Asuma." Shikamaru said pointing at his teammates one by one as he introduced them.

"Asuma, is that your sensei's name?" He'd never heard of such a team before.

"Yeah, that's our Jounin sensei! You don't recognize Team Asuma? Aren't you a Konoha shinobi?" asked Chouji.

"I am a Konoha shinobi, but that doesn't mean I know every team there is. I don't even know what's going on. I just woke up from a coma not too long ago, to this." replied Haruki pointing out to the general direction of the destruction in the village. "What the bloody hell's going on?"

"Suna used the Chuunin Exams to instigate an invasion of Konoha. And it's not just Suna too, another village is in on it." Said Ino.

"Yes, I've noticed that there are other shinobi besides Suna. What village are they from?" asked Haruki, looking towards the body of one of the enemy Nin they felled. As far as he knew there were only five shinobi nations, with Konoha and Suna among them. Who are these upstarts?

"Those are Oto-Nin, from Otogakure no Sato. They're a new village as far we know. No one really knows much about them, except that they're helping Suna invade and destroy Konoha." Replied Shikamaru, looking to where Haruki was looking at.

"I see. A lot's changed since before I woke up then." Said Haruki, the latter muttered more to himself than to the children. Looking at the injured Genin, he asked, "How are you holding up? That looks bad. Can you move?"

"Yeah, I'll be okay. There isn't any Medic-Nin nearby. We'll just have to find somewhere to get some rest and maybe wait this out a bit. We're trying to catch up on some of our friends chasing some of the enemy to outside the village." Shikamaru said, wincing when he tried to move forward and accidentally jostled his injury. His teammates were immediately on to him, supporting him before he was about to fall.

"You wouldn't happen to have anything that might help, would you Senju-san?" asked Chouji looking very concerned about his friend.

Taking pity on the boy, Haruki opened his pouch and started rummaging for something to help. He pulled out a few bottles and gave it to Ino.

"As matter of fact, I do. Ino-kun, take these and give them to Shikamaru-kun. The red bottle is for blood replenishment, while the blue one is for the pain. Have a care in taking these though, they taste like horse piss." Said Haruki a bit sheepishly at the last statement and handing the bottles to Ino while Chouji supported Shikamaru. Ino took the proffered bottles, thanking Haruki for them.

"You're a Medic-Nin Haruki-san?" Asked Chouji, curious about the mysterious man's

"I am yes. You're quite lucky I ran into you three when I did. I made these potions myself so I can guarantee their effectivity. Give him the one for pain first so he can move. When you kids can find a safer place, Shikamaru, drink from the red bottle."

Ino opened the blue bottle and helped Shikamaru drink the contents while Chouji held him still. To say that the taste is foul would be an understatement. It took all of Shikamaru's will power not to gag at the taste. The effects though were almost instantaneous. The pain dulled to a point where he can almost ignore it. What kind of medicine is this, he wondered, and just who is this Senju Haruki? This all seems too good to be true.

There hasn't been a Senju in years. In fact, they're most likely extinct, just like the Uchiha; the man could be lying about his identity. Strange though it seems, he didn't think he was. Senju Haruki seems to actually be who he says he is. It's not a definite fact, but it's what his gut's telling him. At any rate, he shouldn't be looking a gift horse in the mouth, and besides, this isn't the time or the place. There's a war going on and they need to find a safer place to recuperate a bit, then find other Konoha shinobi and help defend the village. Troublesome.

"Right then, now that the immediate threats have been dealt with, I need to go back to searching for the Hokage. I've had a bad feeling the moment I decided to come here. Now that you told me about this invasion, I can't shake the feeling that there's more to this. Do you know where he is?"

"He's probably somewhere near the stadium. That's where the Chuunin Exam finals were being held, and that's where we last saw the Hokage when the attacks started." Replied Chouji.

"Alright then that's where I'll be headed. Which way is it again?"

"North-North East from this position. You can't miss it, it's big. You should be careful though, a lot of fighting's going on over there." Said Ino.

"Don't you worry about me, you kids get to safety. Take care!"

With a loud crack, Haruki disappeared, leaving the three Genin to wonder about the mysterious stranger who helped them and who apparently belongs to an extinct clan. Whatever the reason he has for seeking the Hokage, they hope he'll find him. Maybe they'll see him again when all this is over.

Author's notes:

So how was my first ever attempt at writing? Good, bad, please comment and lemme know!

About Haruki calling Ino, "Ino-kun," in Japan men sometimes address their female subordinates with the honorific "-kun." The "-chan" honorific is mainly used as a term of endearment and is not meant to be used to address someone, male or female casually, especially not to other men. In any case, "-san" is used as the standard in addressing people.

In case anybody missed it, this is going to be SLASH. I don't want people flaming me for writing this particular genre. I do however accept criticism about my writing style, plotholes, or about any discrepancies in my story-telling.

Till next time~!
