This is a yaoi story, my main couples are boys, there are some yuri and hentai as well but for this story they are only minor.
Chapter 1: Mission Details
Four masked figures approached the tower in the center of the village. Why? They were summoned for a mission of course. The fox masked one landed in front of the door, followed by the hawk, wolf, and tiger. After doing a quick scan of the area, he motioned the other three to follow him inside. They made their way to the top of the tower and stopped at a door. The fox nodded at the two masked doormen and proceeded to knock on the heavy oak portal.
"Enter," a rather annoyed female voice called from the other side.
The four figures entered the office and immediately fell to one knee in front of the blond woman behind the desk, all of them taking note of the bearded stranger standing to her left.
"You called, Lady Hokage?" the fox asked, raising his head to look at the leader of his village.
"That I did," she nodded. "I have a mission for you and your squad."
"Oh?" a brow rose behind the mask, not that the woman before him could see it.
"You and your squad, along with a high ranking medic, will be stationed at a foreign school for a year," the Hokage held the blue eyes of the fox ANBU. "This," she motioned to the old man, "is your employer."
The fox nodded his head in respect to the strange looking man, though inside he highly doubted whether he would ever take him seriously, what with his long midnight blue dress and pointed hat.
"Hello," the man greeted in slightly accented Japanese, his blue eyes sparkling behind half-moon spectacles. "My name is Albus Dumbledore. I hear you are the best of your age this village has to offer."
Though said politely, the four ANBU stiffened at the unintentional slight. True, they were the youngest ANBU squad in the force at the moment, but they were also one of the best, never failing to complete a mission with accuracy.
"They are the best I've got," Tsunade ground her teeth trying her best not to snap at the ignorant man beside her. "In fact, the leader," she indicated the fox, "has recently been recommended to replace me when I retire."
"You mean it, Granma Tsunade?" all decorum and professionalism deserted the fox ANBU at her words.
"Of course I do, brat," she glared playfully at him. "You will begin your training once you return from this mission. And I believe I told you not to call me that."
"My apologies, Lady Tsunade," he bowed his head, more for the guest than the fact that he actually meant it.
"Please continue, Dumbledore," Tsunade motioned for the old man to take over once again.
"I am Headmaster of a school in Britain known as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." If he expected a reaction to this announcement, he was to be disappointed by the once again professional ANBU before him. "There are some students there that need protecting this year, and I hope you are all up to the task."
"Hai," the four replied in unison.
"I have also hired some other shinobi from the Village Hidden in the Sand, so our alliances with the Hidden Ninja community will not be questioned as siding with only one nation. And it makes it so the students you will be guarding will have a two man team."
"It usually doesn't work that way, Dumbledore," the Hokage gave him a strained look. "Separating a ninja squad and pairing them up with strangers may result in conflict."
"I'm hoping that because I have the best of both villages, that won't be an issue," the wizard smiled amiably.
"You're just lucky Gaara's our ally," the fox muttered under his breath.
"I shall give you further details on your charges and the teams as soon as we arrive in Britain, as it is, time runs short and we need to be going soon." Dumbledore nodded at the masked figures before him.
"You have half an hour to gather your things, say good bye, and meet up back here. I expect all of you to pack light, as clothes will be provided for you. I will have the medic ready by the time you return." Tsunade dismissed them with a flick of her hand.
Half an hour later, the four ANBU returned, each carrying a backpack over their shoulders, and accompanied by a very large white and brown dog. They nodded to the Hokage and Dumbledore, but the fox stopped when he saw the medic that would be accompanying them.
"Sakura?" he questioned before he could stop himself.
"Sir," she bowed in respect to the higher ranking ninja. Inside, however, she was cursing the damn masks the elite group of ninja wore. She knew one of them had to be one of her former classmates from the academy, Kiba Inuzuka, as Akamaru, said ninja's dog, was there, but she couldn't for the life of her think of who else had gone on to become ANBU.
"Very good," Dumbledore eyed the group appreciatively, that is until he noticed the large dog among them. "I'm afraid the dog is not allowed to come," he said apologetically.
"If Akamaru can't go, then I'm staying here," the wolf ANBU crossed his arms over his chest stubbornly.
"Akamaru and Kiba are inseparable," Tsunade shrugged. "And I wouldn't have recommended them if I wasn't sure of their abilities. Akamaru will be a great asset to have on this mission. Though, Kiba, I would recommend that you place a transformation jutsu on him to make him smaller."
The wolf ANBU sighed and made a quick hand sign, changing the dog into his former puppy self in a puff of smoke. Once completed, Akamaru jumped into Kiba's arms. Dumbledore nodded in approval and reached inside his pocket, pulling out an old, worn out sneaker.
"If everyone would please touch the Portkey, we shall be leaving momentarily," he held out the shoe. "A single finger will do. And Kiba, you might want to keep a firm grip on your dog."
The five ninja stepped forward, reached out a finger, and placed it on the item. After the last person had placed their finger on it, the shoe suddenly glowed blue and each of them felt a slight tug behind their navel.

(AN: Here there is a language switch, before everything was spoken in Japanese, but now as they are in England, Japanese will be "Blah,")
They landed in a dimly lit room, and only their ninja training kept them on their feet. The five shinobi glanced around, taking in the old house, as Dumbledore replaced the shoe in his pocket and made his way over to a door at the end of a small flight of stairs.
"Good evening, everyone," Dumbledore greeted the room quietly. "I take it the others have arrived? Good. I shan't be long, I was just dropping off the remainder of the transfer students."
"Dumbledore-sama?" the fox questioned, glancing at the rest of the group to see if they had understood anything the old man had said. "Sir, what are you talking about?"
"Of course," Dumbledore shook his head and closed the door, "how could I have forgotten." He muttered something under his breath and the shinobi felt something like water wash over them, leaving a tingling sensation. "Now you will be able to understand and converse in English. You will still be able to speak your native language, but it will have to be a conscious decision on your part to do so. Before you join the party, I think it would be wise to meet the others and set your assignments."
Dumbledore led the ninja into a small parlor, where three other people waited. The Leaf shinobi stopped in their tracks as they saw their fellow shinobi, two of whom were also masked. The ANBU dropped to one knee.
"Lord Kazekage," the fox crossed an arm over his chest in salute.
"Please, drop the title," the redhead shook his head slightly, his expression blank. "For the next year, I am simply Gaara once more."
"Alright, Gaara," the fox chuckled softly and motioned for the others to rise.
"Well, it appears that you know each other," Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, glancing between the fox and the stoic redhead. "That's good, it saves me the trouble of having to introduce you, except for the fact that six of you are wearing identity concealing masks, which I am going to have to ask you to remove."
"Excuse me, sir," Sakura spoke up indignantly. "Anonymity is their job, it is highly disrespectful to ask such a thing of them."
"Be that as it may," Dumbledore shook his head. "The mission you have been assigned is an undercover one, I cannot let it be known that I have hired ninja at my school."
"Very well," the fox nodded.
He glanced at his three fellow ANBU, signaling them to follow orders. As one, the four of them reached up and loosed the ties holding their masks in place. The two Sand ANBU did the same. Sakura gasped as the masks lowered, and a smirk crossed the Kazekage's face.
"Well, Naruto, it seems we shall be working alongside one another once again," the redhead crossed his arms over his chest.
"Yeah, seems like it," the blonde grinned at his old friend.
"Sorry to break this up," Dumbledore cleared his throat. "But I shall be pairing you up now and assigning your charges."
"Sir, if I may," Naruto held up his hand to stop the wizard. "I believe that Gaara and I know the strengths and weaknesses of our teammates' best, you might want us to do the partnering up."
"Very well," Dumbledore looked at him expectantly. "Though I would request that the two females be put together as one of the charges is also female."
"Okay," Naruto shrugged, "so Sakura and Temari are one team."
"Also, I plan on putting one of the teams on three separate individuals," Dumbledore added.
"Shino," Naruto glanced back to the bug shinobi. "And Kiba." Naruto grinned, "Hmm, who to pair up with Gaara?"
"Kankuro," the redhead held Naruto's gaze, "unless of course you would like to be on my team, Naruto. You and my siblings are the only ones I'm not likely to kill at a moment's notice."
"True," Naruto chuckled, "but I figured it would be best if you and I weren't on the same team, as we're both the leaders of our groups here. So that puts Neji with me."
"Uh-hm," Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Since the teams are now decided, I shall pass out the assignments. Temari and Sakura, you shall be watching a Miss Hermione Granger. Gaara and Kankuro, your charge is one Ronald Weasley, also known as Ron. Naruto and Neji, you shall be in charge of Harry Potter, as Lady Tsunade spoke very highly of your abilities, and he is the sole reason I hired all of you in the first place. And that leaves Kiba and Shino in charge of the three other Weasley children, Fred, George, and Ginny, you two will not be tailing them constantly, as I expect the others to, I am only putting tails on them because their mother is very concerned with their safety at the moment." He handed out pictures to each group so they could identify their marks. "Well, you will find everything in your rooms, so I bid you all good night and farewell for now. Oh, and before I forget, you will be going in undercover as students, so I expect you to spend the rest of the day studying up on the course materials. I shall see you all at school tomorrow. And if you want to join the party, your charges are all there."
Dumbledore headed for the exit and, with a final look back, left the room, closing the door behind him with a faint click. The shinobi looked at one another in astonishment.
"This shouldn't be an A-ranked mission," Kankuro sighed. "Why do we get stuck babysitting?"
"There's more to this mission than what meets the eye," Neji looked around at the others. "There's something Dumbledore isn't telling us."
The other shinobi nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'm going to go to the party downstairs," Naruto shrugged, performing a transformation jutsu into his regular clothes. "Anyone else is welcome to join me, or you can go study as Dumbbly suggested. Me, personally, I don't think there's much that these people could teach me. I mean could any of you sense their chakra? They're like civilians."
"There's always more to learn, Naruto," Sakura rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Besides, I believe that instead of chakra they have something else, something to do with the witchcraft and wizardry the school teaches."
"Sure, Sakura, whatever," the blonde waved aside her comment as he headed out the door and down the stairs.
Neji shared a look with the pink-haired girl, and she nodded in understanding.
"We should follow him," the long-haired shinobi sighed, also transforming his clothing. "Who knows what trouble he'll get into."
