I just couldn't help imagining Luna in the Shinobi world. Magic would already astonish the shinobi world considering it breaks limits even Chakra can't. If you then add in Luna, everything is twice as amusing. I do not own Naruto, Harry Potter or any associated characters. Though that would be awesome. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story.


Tsuki is born on the full moon. It's why her parents give her the name. She's an eccentric little girl, often using strange foriegn sounding words her parents don't recognize. Even when they do recognize what she says, the sentences themselves don't make any sense. What is a crumple-horned snorkack supposed to be? What is a muggle?

At five, Tsuki a wafish little thing, all knobbly knees, impossibly blue eyes, and silvery blond hair. She keeps her hair loose, often braiding in beads and feathers. To her parent's exasperation, she never seems to wear shoes. If they didn't know better, they'd say she's part spirit.

Tsuki used to be called Luna. She remembers a school: elegant spires, arching windows, magic, death, war. She remembers a boy named Harry Potter and his two best friends, a freckle-faced ginger and a bushy haired brunette. She remembers a battle fought by school children. She remembers dying.

At eight, Tsuki discovers that she still has her magic. Her magic is part of her. It's her soul, her blood, and her heart. She isn't surprised that it followed her across the barrier of life and death. Tsuki doesn't have a wand, but she doesn't need one. Her magic easily comes to her beck and call, letting her reshape reality. It's somehow easier in this new world.

At ten, she discovers another energy source. Her magic is bouncy and light like a summer breeze while this energy is calm, flowing through her body like a second set of veins. When she reaches out to it, it feels warm. Tsuki doesn't know how to use it so she experiments. It takes her a while, but eventually she discovers that she can create illusions, something that positively delights her.

Tsuki creates an illusionary crumple-horned snorkack to keep her company. She's always wanted to find one, and if she adds in a bit of magic, the crumple-horned snorkack even becomes semi-corporal. Many kids have imaginary friends, but Tsuki can actually see hers; so can other people. Her mom and dad freak out the first time they see him. They're not surprised though; their daughter rather enjoys making the impossible possible.

Tsuki names her crumple-horned snorkack Arnold. She also decides to go by Luna again.


The first Shinobi Luna meets is a Konoha shinobi. She's gathering flowers when he stumbles into the clearing, blood gushing from a wound in his side. Luna tilts her head curiously. Most people don't have access to the second force, the strange not-magic one, but he does.

"Frick. Kid, get out of here. There's a bad man co…" He chokes, blood trickling from his mouth as a man rams a sword through his ribcage. As Luna examines the newcomer, she wonders if Voldemort was reborn as well; this man has snake-like features just like him. However, that's where the similarities end. This man has an elegance to him. With porcelain white skin, long silky black hair, and yellow slitted eyes contoured in purple he's really quite pretty.

She says as much, and the man lets out a chortle of surprise. Luna doesn't think he's gotten a lot of compliments, which is a shame. (Luna doesn't notice the crippling killing intent Orochimaru has been emitting since his arrival.) She'd be concerned, but she's seen people die. The blood is fairly new though; in the battle of hogwarts, people normally died via killing curse. Some of the deaths, however, were a bit more on the gruesome side.

"What's your name little girl?"

"Luna." she chirps.

"Well Luna, I won't kill you as long as my presence here stays our little secret."

Luna nods in agreement. Friends keep secrets for each other, and since this strange snake-like man is asking her to keep a secret, they must be friends now. Her parents will be thrilled to learn she made a friend. Luna's never really had a lot of friends. "Okay Nii-chan!" Luna frowns as her new friend starts coughing. "Are you okay?" The man disappears without a reply. She wonders why.

Luna doesn't mention the strange snake-like man to anyone. She doesn't break promises she makes to her friends.


At thirteen, Luna decides to travel the world. She bids goodbye to her parents, and sets off to explore the land. She visits the smaller countries first, enjoying the hot springs in Yugakure and an assortment of teas from the land of tea. As she travels, she collects various beads to braid into her hair.

Eventually, Luna ends up traveling to some of the larger countries. She visits the land of water first, completely ignoring the fact that they have a closed borders policy and are currently entrenched in a civil war. With liberal use of genjutsu and magic, Luna easily slips through the borders.

Luna wanders through the land of water, visiting abandoned towns; some are empty, some are razed to the ground, and in some, people hide indoors, peering out anxiously from behind closed shutters. She thinks the whole country seems very dreary. Humming, Luna charms the leaves on several trees, making them flash between the various colors of the rainbow. She gives the bark and branches rainbow stripes. Surveying the trees, Luna nods her head in satisfaction. (Before the charms will have a chance to fade, a group of chunin will pass by on a courier mission and waste an hour examining the trees, trying to figure out if its a genjutsu or some sort of trap.)

Boom. An explosion echoes through the misty forest followed by panicked shouts. "Frack! Retreat! Retreat! It's a trap!" Several men and women break through the treeline. Their flack vests are slightly scorched, and one of the women is limping.

One of them, spotting Luna, curses before picking her up and tucking her beneath his arm. "Come on kid, if Yagura's men catch you they'll think you're with us. Trust me, you don't want that to happen."

They race through the misty forest, ducking between trees and leaving behind traps as they try to out run their pursuers. It doesn't help, eventually they're encircled. They're outnumbered. "Surrender now bloodline freaks, and we'll grant you a relatively swift death." A Kiri loyalist chuckles cruelly.

The rebels, paled faced, but determined, stand their ground. They don't surrender. The man carefully sets Luna down and gets into a fighting stance. The other rebels follow suit.

"Oh? I didn't know you were allowing children to fight now." One of the loyalists states eyeing Luna.

"She's not with us. The only reason we grabbed her is because you lot would undoubtedly think she was with us and kill her."

"Hmm, probably. You wouldn't mind if I gave her a little taste then, would you?"

The rebel snarls. "She's her own person, and she's under our protection. You're not going to touch her." He prepares to attack, but Luna speaks up before he can.

"Why do guys want to kill each other? You all have the same headband."

The loyalist snarls. "We're not the same as those traitors. We're riding the land of water of the blood line scum, they're a blight upon our country."

"Oh. So you're death eaters, but you kill the ones with gifts instead of those without them. Pain for pain doesn't make the world a better place you know."

"Bloodlines are not gifts you ignorant fool. They are curses. Where have you been living little girl, under a rock?"

"Ahh, close, the border of rock and fire and before that in a castle. It had quite the pretty sky as a ceiling. Not many people here seem to take the time to just appreciate the sky."

With this comment, everyone stares at her in confusion. "The borders are locked down."

"A lock is just the door's way of asking to be opened."

"Just shut up you infuriating little bitch. Kill them." As the man orders the deaths of the rebels, they vanish into thin air. Murmurs of confusion float through the loyalists.

"Where did they go?"

"Genjutsu?"

"Kai." Several different people attempt to break it, but nothing happens.

"Spread out and search for them. They couldn't have gone far." They don't end up finding the rebels.

On the other side of the land of water, the rebels appear, confused, and holding onto an old boot. None of them remember the little blonde girl.


Luna meets the snake-like man for the second time when she is fourteen. This time he's accompanied by a raven haired boy. The boy is absolutely infested with wrackspurts. The air hangs heavy around him, and he looks like he could use a hug. She steps forward, wrapping her arms around him (Uchiha Sasuke is too shocked by this random girl hugging him to do anything.) "There. That should help clear away the wrackspurts."

Luna steps back. Sasuke sputters in annoyance. "What? Who? Orochimaru? Who is she?"

"That's Luna-chan. I wanted you to meet her Sasuke-kun." He purrs.

Sasuke glares at Orochimaru "Why."

"She's quite the oddity, a civilian, yet her chakra system is unlocked." Luna takes note that the second energy source is called chakra.

"Yes." Sasuke grounds out. "But what does that have to do with me?"

"Why, you are going to teach her all about chakra!"

"That won't help me kill Itachi." Sasuke spits. So Itachi's the one causing the wrackspurts. Luna hums thoughtfully. She'll have to meet this Itachi. He's probably infested to. "I need to get more powerful. Training a civilian girl won't help me."

"It's okay Orochimaru-nii." Sasuke visibly jolts at her reply. "I already learned how to use the not-magic, chakra as you say. It helps me make illusions like Arnold!" She brings out the crumple-horned snorkack.

"Curious, you didn't use any hand signs."

"Hand signs?" Luna chirps curiously.

"It's how Shinobi form ninjutsu."

"Ninjutsu?" Luna questions.

"Ahh Luna-chan." Orochimaru frowns. "How exactly did you learn about chakra?"

"Oh that's easy! I taught myself."

"Gah." The normally stoic Uchiha yelps. "It's solid? Genjustu can't be solid." Arnold is curled up next to Sasuke puring. Sasuke's eyes swirl to red. Luna thinks they look pretty. With the three tomoes they could almost be red flowers. Sasuke frowns incredulously. "The sharingan can't see through it. Kai." He snaps. It doesn't work. Sasuke frowns, completely flummoxed.

"Interesting. The sharingan should be able to see through anything. Genjutsu is obsolete before it. Luna-Chan?" Orochimaru questions. "How is ahh Arnold corporal."

"Oh that's easy. Magic!"

"There's no such thing as magic." Orochimaru frowns.

"Then maybe it just doesn't have a name yet. Not-chakra is magic, and not-magic is chakra. Magic is a warm ball of fuzziness while chakra is cool and warm when used; it's like a second set of veins running through you."

"So it's a kekkei genkai." Orochimaru muses "Very interesting. Luna-chan, would you like to move to Oto with me and Sasuke-kun? You'd be quite happy there."

"Ahhhh" Luna is getting some very negative vibes from Orochimaru. "No thanks."

"That wasn't a choice Luna-chan." As he lunges towards her, Luna disappears with a sharp crack.


The bounty post is filled with several rough looking guys. A good number seem to be missing-nin, like Orochimaru-nii is. Though maybe she shouldn't call him nii-chan anymore, he did try and kidnap her. He didn't even have the decency to offer her candy first. She would have been a lot more agreeable if he offered her a licorice wand, chocolate frog, or even some Bertie Bot's every flavored beans.

The bounty post is a cozy little place. The chairs, tables, and glasses may be a bit on the cheap side, but it's probably a pain to replace them everytime a fight breaks out.

Luna sits at one of the bar stools nursing a mug of butterbeer. Butterbeer might not exist here, but transfiguring it from regular beer works decently enough. The taste is a bit off though. Luna suspects it's because she doesn't exactly remember how butterbeer tastes. Oh. Luna muses; as her vision fades out, she catches sight of a bounty poster for her on the wall. Her drink was poisoned.

Luna moans as she regains consciousness; her head is killing her. She tries opening her eyes, but ends up shutting them immediately, the sun is way too bright. She feels exhausted. Her body doesn't want to move, and she feels like she'll fall back asleep any minute.

"So, sleeping Beauty's finally awake un." A blonde grins at her. He's dressed in black robes with red clouds. He must be a wizard, probably police. Why else would he be wearing robes?

"Oh, I didn't know there were aurors." Luna drowsily murmurs. "I suppose throwing not-chakra around like that was pretty careless."

As she drifts back into unconsciousness Luna faintly hears "Un, what's that supposed to mean. And why is she falling back asleep Sasori-danna? How much sedative did you give her?"

When Luna finally wakes up, it's to the sound of eight people arguing.

"I don't see why we can't just kill the bitch."

"We'd sell her before killing her Hidan. Orochimaru is offering a lot of money for her.

"It's always about money isn't it you damn miser." Luna hears a sharp splat. "Dam it Kakuzu, don't cut off my freaking head."

"Kakauzu," another voice speaks up. "We'd kill her before selling her to Orochimaru. The whole reason we took her is because he wants her, and it's nice to mess up that traitorous bastard's plans."

As Luna opens her eyes with a groan, eight sets of eyes turn towards her. "Ahh Luna is it?" An orange haired man with several piercings speaks up. Luna nods, surveying the group. They don't exactly seem like wizarding police. "Would you mind answering a few questions for us about the bounty Orochimaru put on you?"

"Sure." Luna hums.

Several eyebrows raise in surprise. A tall shark-like man chuckles. "That's easier than normal. Usually we need to interrogate people before they start talking.

"Well Orochimaru did tell me not tell anyone about him, and I kept the promise, but that was when we were still friends. Granted I'd only talked to him once at that point, but he seemed really lonely." She muses. "I don't think he considered us friends though. He tried to kidnap me the second time we met, something about kekkei genkai. I kind of figured that would be grounds for an unhealthy relationship so I left."

Luna gets several incredulous stares at that. "What sort of bloodline do you have? The bounty Orochimaru put out on you is insanely high."

"Well I used to call it magic, but now I call it not-chakra since Orochimaru didn't like the name."

"Kid, magic doesn't exist."

"Well," Luna ponders "Magic is how you see the world. We all see it differently and some people can interact with it differently than others. For example Chakra; if you didn't know it was chakra, you might call it magic. You can consider my magic not to be magic, but I can still call it magic. That's why I decided to call it not-chakra to make it easier for you to quantify. It's still magic. I just call it something different."

The entire group looks flummoxed by her explanation except for the red and raven haired youths. "So your magic is an energy source you have in addition to Chakra?" The raven haired teen summarizes.

"Yep!" Luna chirps.

"Interesting" the orange haired man muses. "What exactly can you do with this not-chakra?"

"I can spar with her leader-Sama!" the headless man grins "Then we can sacrifice her to Jashin!"

"Leader-Sama?" the stoic ravenette says "If she spars, it should be with someone more level headed."

"Hmmm. You and Kisame will spar with her and evaluate what she can do."

"Hai." The Akatsuki members lead Luna out of their base to a sparring ground. The other members stand off to the side while Kisame and the ravenette stand in the center.

"Nice to meet you brat." The shark-like man grins. "I'm Kisame. That's Itachi."

Luna's eyes widen as she hears the ravenette's name. "The one who Sasuke wants to kill!"

Itachi nods. "Ahh yes, my foolish Otouto."

Luna steps closer to Itachi, carefully examining him. He has two thin lines in his face, dark eyes, and long silky hair. Darkness seems to hang around him like a heavy shroud, he himself, however is grey. She can tell that his soul once gleaned white, pure and altruistic. Now, he's weighed down by darkness. Itachi has even more wrackspurts than Sasuke. "I hope you find happiness Itachi-san. You don't deserve to suffer." Itachi frowns, put a bit off kilter by her statement.

"Okay Luna-chan." Kisame grins. "You're going to spar with Itachi then me; we'll drop our level to match yours. Got it Chibi?" As Luna nods, Kisame leaves the training field, going to stand by the other Akatsuki members.

Luna finishes the battle before it starts. With a wave of her hand, Itachi turns into a weasel. Everyone stares. The weasel seems to panic, rushing towards Luna as if to attack her. Luna cooes, picking the weasel up with a smile. "Isn't he adorable."

The blonde, Deiadra, laughs maniacally. "Hahhhahhah serves the Uchiha right un."

Luna puts Itachi down, and with another flick of her wrist the weasel turns back into a highly disoriented Itachi. He stares warely at the blonde witch. "What type of genjutsu was that?"

"Oh. That was transfiguration, not genjutsu. I actually turned you into a weasel." Luna smiles. "That was fun. But I have to go now." She vanishes with a sharp crack leaving behind several flabbergasted Akatsuki members and a cackling blonde pyromaniac.
