Sparks of change

A Naruto/Harry Potter Crossover

With a Kakashi/Harry pairing.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I don't own Naruto, I don't own Harry Potter, and while I have adopted this plot bunny, it originally belonged to AbeoUmbra. So enjoy guys!

Original Plot Bunny:

Hired by Harry Potter's fiancé (who can be male or female), Kakashi is to watch over and protect the Savoir of the Land of Lightning without his targets notice, and to ensure that he does not kill himself. So, why is it that Kakashi finds himself wanting to be noticed by the young Raikage of Kumogakure?

By the way I named this Plot Bunny Hoshi, and she wasn't the one I was going to originally grab. However when I reached in and grabbed for Number 4, she sunk her little teeth into my wrist and refused to let go.

So I got to thinking about a backstory for her. And I named her. So you can see, this is merely the beginning of an insane relationship.

(pets Hoshi softly) See my pet? I got the first chapter done!

Prologue: Or how Harry Potter became Imbued in Naruto!

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... "

"And that's all I was able to overhear before Dumbledore caught me," Severus whispered reverently, bowing deeply to the man sitting on the dais.

"Interesting… who do we know who has thrice defied me?" Voldemort murmured softly, thinking over the prophecy.

"Just the Longbottoms sir, and the Potters," Wormtail piped up, hoping to get in his masters good graces.

"The Longbottoms? Please! They're a disgrace to the word Magic," Lucius scowled darkly, knowing that's what his lord wanted to hear.

"You're right Lucius, and Potter with his Mudblood wife would make an interesting attack. Their son was born at the end of July, wasn't he? 'Born as the Seventh Month dies," Voldemort queried softly, thinking.

"Yes My Lord, he was born on July 31st, at 11:59 p.m. Right as the seventh month died," Severus agreed, sweating slightly.

"And Longbottom, when is his birthday?" He demanded swiftly.

"July 30th, at 11:55 p.m." Lucius replied.

"So obviously, the one with the power to vanquish me is Potter. It makes sense. Wormtail, you know where they're hiding, don't you? Tomorrow, you'll take me there and I'll show everyone that Lord Voldemort fears no one, especially not a child," with a cruel chuckle, the Dark Lord swept out of the room.

khkhkhkhkhkhkhkh

"He's here, My Lord," Wormtail whispered slightly, pointing to the cottage up ahead. A warm, cozy glow surrounded the home, as if love protected the occupants. Voldemort glared darkly at the home before striding to the front door. With a whispered Alohomora, the front door flew open and James Potter started. Before the man could gain his feet, Voldemort growled "Avada Kedavra," and Potter fell to the floor with a dazed expression on his face.

Sweeping to the back of the cottage where he was sure Lily Potter was hiding with the infant, he moved quickly through the rest of the house. Finally stopping at the last locked door, Voldemort hexed it open and shouted "Avada Kedavra!"

Lily Potter fell to the floor, her face frozen in a grimace of pain and fear.

Approaching the wailing infant, Voldemort gloated " Look at you Potter, all alone. And to think the Wizarding world is looking to you as a Savior. Pity them Potter, for they shall have to deal with me for a long long time. Good bye boy, give your parents my regards,"

"Avada Kedavra!"

The curse struck the wailing infant on the forehead, but before it could do it's job, something pushed it away. Voldemort watched in fear as the spell shot back his way. As the spell hit his last coherent thought was disbelief. How could this have happened?

A wave of magic totaled the room. When it finally settled, nothing remained of the cottage. James and Lily Potter were found in the rubble, but when the searchers were looking for the baby, they found nothing. Not even a scrap of hair or a drop of blood. It was as if the baby had ceased to exist.

Though they had lost their savior, the Wizarding world rejoiced at being free from Voldemort's rule. For even Dumbledore agreed that he was gone for good.

And thus ends the tragic tale of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort.

khkhkhkhkhkhk

In the Land of Lightning; just outside of Kumogakure, the village hidden in the Clouds, Yuzuki Nii strolled along the empty beach. After the loss of her only child, the Sandaime Raikage could be found searching the beaches of her land. When asked what she searched for, she would only reply that she was looking for Nibi, the two-tailed cat demon who had been imbued in her daughter.

Everyone in the Land of Lightning knew that Nibi wasn't like the other Bijuu. She chose to be imbued into Yugito, and with her death would be searching for another host. It was only when combined with a human could Nibi reach her true potential.

And so the heartbroken Raikage searched. And so our story begins.

While she was searching the beach, Yuzuki came across a baby. After checking the infants Chakra, she realized he was still awake. Picking the baby up, she hurried to her home. Once she got there, she stared in shock at the baby. His hair was raven black, but liberally streaked with green. His eyes were what held her attention. They were a brilliant greenish-yellow. The pupils were slit, just like a cats. Yuzuki knew that Nibi was housed inside the baby. Deciding then and there that she would raise the foundling, she placed the infant on her cot and began a medical scan.

After finding out that the infant was 1, a male, and 2 hungry, she carried him into the kitchen. As soon as the baby had finished eating she put him down on the cot, and sank to her knees beside him. As she sang him a lullaby, she stroked his bangs away from his forehead.

On the baby's forehead was the mark of Raijin. Knowing that the Thunder God had entrusted the Yondaime Raikage in her hands, the Sandaime Raikage knew she had to make the village safe for her foundling.

Everyone in the Land of Lightning knew that to be Raikage, you had to have the symbol of Raijin. It couldn't be placed on your boy by mortal hands, you had to be born with it. A Lightning bolt birthmark was present on the foundlings forehead, his proof of being the next Raikage.

khkhkhkhkhkhkkh

On the night that Yuzuki found Keitaro, another was making the acquaintance of someone who should have been forgotten.

Orochimaru was touring his home country of the Rice Field. It was during this time that he came across a wandering spirit and was possessed by it. Voldemort, having been thrown from his body by the infant Potter had wandered meaninglessly until he came across Orochimaru. Proposing a melding of their spirits, Orochimaru agreed, and Voldemort's thirst for power combined with Orochimaru's thirst for knowledge, leading them to gather followers in the Village of the Sound.

khkkhkhkhkh

Meanwhile Yuzuki conducted Peace talks with The Sandaime Hokage from the Village hidden in the Leaves. After many talks, the two Kage's came to an agreement. The treaty would be sealed between the two countries by a betrothal. As the Sandaime was an old man, and his son was already married, the contract would be filled by the Uchiha clan. Fugaku Uchiha pledged the hand of his eldest son to that of the Raikage heir. Little Itachi Uchiha had just turned five. Yuzuki gave her foundling the birthday 11-01, as that was the day she found him. Her scan had revealed him to be about a year old.

After the treaty was signed and sealed with blood, both countries became friendlier and watched in awe as the two boys grew.

Little Keitaro, Yuzuki's foundling, grew well loved and protected. Everyone in the Village Hidden in the Clouds loved and accepted the young lord. He was the darling of many people. And he rose through the ranks of the Academy. Passing the Chuunin Exams at the age of 10, the villagers knew he was going to be special.

The Uchiha Prodigy was learning just as fast. He too passed his exams at the age of ten. By the time Keitaro was a Chuunin, Itachi had become the leader of a special group of ANBU. He took pride in his abilities, knowing that he would be able to protect his betrothed once the vows had been said.

Unfortunately, word spread of the foundling in The Land of Lightning. Quickly the rumors fell on Orochimaru's ears and he listened in shock as he recognized the boy, or at least part of him did. Sending out his spies, Orochimaru waited until they brought back information on the Foundling.

After his ninjas returned, Orochimaru knew that somehow the Potter baby had survived the curse his other half had sent at the baby. Unwilling to make the same mistake twice, Orochimaru decided to wait until the child was older before attacking.

However after hearing of the boys tie to the Village Hidden in Leaves, Orochimaru entrapped the eldest Uchiha son.

khkhkhkhkhkhkhkkh

Itachi looked around in disbelief. His entire clan was gone. Someone had massacred them, but who? Looking down and seeing the blood coating his hands, Itachi saw but he couldn't believe it. Nothing made sense. Hearing a noise behind him, he started. Staring into the horrorstruck eyes of his younger brother, Itachi fled.

Not knowing where to go and being labeled a Missing-nin, he traveled away from the Land of fire. Knowing that someone would have told his betrothed about his actions, Itachi couldn't even seek refuge in the Land of Lightning. With no where else to go, and no one else to turn to, he fell deeper into Orochimaru's trap.

Orochimaru welcomed the boy, knowing that his bloodline trait would be of use to him, especially when they attacked the Land of Lightning.

Being sympathetic to the confused teen, Orochimaru twisted the events in the boys mind. After placing a curse seal on the boys body, he finally allowed Itachi to see the truth. By then it was to late.

Itachi knew what had happened, and knew that he was behind the massacre of the Uchiha clan, but he didn't know why. As the years passed, this question plagues him more than any other. Why would Orochimaru go to such lengths?

It all fell back to the Raikage of Kumogakure, or the future Raikage as the case may be. Orochimaru held a grudge against the young Lord, but no one knew why.

As the years passed, Orochimaru grew brave enough to decide to attack.

He amassed a gigantic army and stormed the Village Hidden in the Clouds. Sandaime Raikage met him at the gates and refused to hand over the Keitaro.

Enraged, Orochimaru thrust his Chakra out and summoned Manda. With a wide smirk he watched as the King Snake battled with the Raikage. After a fierce skirmish, the Raikage was on her knees and Manda was just about to strike.

A small bundle shot out of the Raikage tower and flew to the downed woman. As she lay dying in his arms Keitaro felt the rage and helplessness boil inside him. When Yuzuki drew her last breath, he released all the pain inside of him in one blast. His inner bijuu made herself known as she forced Orochimaru to his knees and Manda back to wherever he came from.

Itachi watched in shock as Keitaro decimated the ninjas that Orochimaru had chosen in his attack. Before Keitaro could destroy Orochimaru, he disappeared. In the flash of an eye he was gone before the final blow could be struck.

With no more enemies to take out, the bijuu resided, leaving a pale and unmoving Keitaro lying in the sand.

Itachi rushed to his side and pulled the younger teen into his arms. Knowing that with the death of the Sandaime, the boy in his arms would be the Yondaime, he brushed a gentle kiss onto the mark of Raijin. Unable to stop the tears that pricked the backs of his eyes, he handed Keitaro over to Sinobi Gashir, the head ninja. And then he was gone.

All of Kumogakure mourned the loss of the Sandaime. And after the three days of mourning, the villagers accepted Keitaro as the Yondaime Raikage. They christened him the Savior of the Land of Lightning.

khkhkhkhkhkhkhk

Itachi traveled hard. He knew that just by entering the Land of Fire could be a death sentence, but he had no choice. Knowing that Orochimaru was after the young Raikage, he sought a protector for his betrothed.

Seeking out Kakashi Hatake, his one friend from his Jounin days, Itachi explained what had happened and why he couldn't be around the villagers. With Orochimaru's curse on his back and knowing that the man could overtake his mind at any moment, Itachi hurried through his explanations.

By the time he was through, Kakashi was firmly on his side. Kakashi knew that the Godaime Hokage wouldn't accept Itachi without proof, and they wouldn't have proof until the death of Orochimaru. Which left the copy-nin in a predicament. Finally he approached the Hokage with the tale of the young Raikage who hadn't been told of the departure of his betrothed. While Itachi had massacred his clan, his blood was tied to the treaty. With no other option, Tsunade, the Godaime issued the mission to Kakashi, entrusting the life of the Raikage in his hands. After all, if Itachi murdered his betrothed, the Village Hidden in the Clouds would decimate the Hidden Leaves Village. And none of the other Hidden Villages would retaliate.

And so Kakashi left on his mission. Through the Land of Fire and into the Marsh Country before entering the Moon Country. After many days of traveling he arrived in the Land of Lightning.

At the gates of Kumogakure, he paused. For some strange reason, he knew that once he entered these gates his life would forever be changed.

Without a backward glance, Kakashi entered the Village Hidden in the Clouds.

And so our story begins.

So what did you think? Was it a good prologue? The next chapter will not be so cramped. I just wanted to get a good back story before I started.

As you can see little Hoshi is growing like a weed. She seems to like this pairing, and yet I have little Itachi's running around in my mind screaming about betrothals.

I guess I'll let you decide on what happens to Itachi!

Thanks for reading guys!

And check my profile for the poll!
