Kakashi stood next to his sensei, Minato Namikaze, in the office of the Third Hokage. They had been about to walk out the gates of the village for a mission when they had been summoned to return for a different mission. They had been standing there for about five minutes while the Third shuffled papers around on his desk, he cast a sideways glance to Minato-sensei to see that he was amused at their leader's disorganization.
"Ahh, here we go." He said reading over a file in his hand and giving a small nod. "The reason I have called you back was to assign you to an S-Ranked mission that will last for about a year, now before we begin, do you accept?" he asked them giving both shinobi a stern look. In unison they nodded to the affirmative. "Good. This mission is actually more of an unranked mission than anything else, solely because of the extreme delicacy that you two must take."
The Third leaned back into his chair and took a puff of his pipe before continuing. "What I am about to tell you is an S-Ranked secret, if even a whisper gets out about this mission or the client then it is punishable by death, no exceptions." He warned and again both he and Minato nodded. "You know that our continent is hidden from the outside world and that very few have managed to break out and even few come back. Once when I was much younger I managed to break out and came across a man by the name of Albus Dumbledore, together we invented a portal of sorts so that we may come and go between our worlds freely. In our world we have chakra and shinobi; in his world they have magic and wizards. Now, through research we have discovered that the two are very much alike but we cannot use magic and they cannot use chakra, while we have jutsu they have spells, do you understand?"
Kakashi was considered a prodigy by many, he was quick to learn and understand almost everything he had come across, but for some reason his revered mind was completely blank. He turned to his sensei, whenever Kakashi had a question Minato had an answer, well except for the time Obito had asked how sex worked. Minato was staring at the Hokage with a raised eyebrow, clearly he had no idea what was going on either. Then a sudden thought jumped into his blank mind, this was a test, they were in the middle of a war and couldn't afford to have ninja break down on the front lines.
"If this is a psychological evaluation then i suggest you administer it to Might Guy instead, you should recognize him right away, he's the nut job running around in green spandex yelling at the top of his lungs about youth and spring." Kakashi said dryly, he was disappointed when both his leader and his sensei chuckled, he may be fourteen but he knew crazy when he saw it.
"No Kakashi, this is not an evaluation, wizards and magic really do exist, Jiraiya-sensei took me to their world once when I was younger then you." Minato said to his student before turning to the Hokage. "But what I don't understand is why we would be sent on a mission there when we are in the middle of a war and are needed here."
"It's because Dumbledore believes a war might be starting there and he fears it may spill over into our world, the outcome of which would be disastrous." He said.
"I see, so what will we be doing on this mission?" he asked.
"Dumbledore is the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this year two other school will be sending representatives to Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament. Minato, I believe you and Jiraiya attended this same tournament on your visit. You will be undercover as representatives from a fourth school called Konoha Academy of Magic, a secret school that practices wand-less magic. Minato will be the Headmaster while Kakashi will be the student chosen to represent our school in the tournament. While there you are to collect as much information on Tom Riddle, aka Lord Voldemort, as you can. Jiraiya has already been sent over and will be collecting information outside of the school; you three will rendezvous with Dumbledore once a month to give reports on what you have learned."
He took another puff or his pipe before looking back at the two shinobi in front of him. "You must prevent this war, if you are unable to then you must end it before they cross over to our world at any cost, understood?"
"Yes sir!" they said in unison.
As soon as the words left their mouths the Hokage held out a tea cup that had been sitting on the edge of his desk and a thick folder that would contain more details about the mission. Kakashi watched as Minato took the folder and the cup and held it out for Kakashi who did not reach out for it. "It won't bite; you just need to touch it." There was a smile on his sensei's face that he didn't like but did as he was told.
The second he touched it every muscle in his body froze as he was pulled into some sort of vortex, but as soon as it started it stopped and he was standing in another office full of odds and ends. He gave a one eyed glare to his sensei who should have warned him about the damn teacup being the gateway to the aforementioned portal between worlds. Minato was wearing a shit eating grin and patted Kakashi on the top of the head before turning to his left. Kakashi followed suit only to be met with the oddest sight he had ever seen.
A tall man with a long white beard and a pointed cap stood behind a desk in what appeared to be a large black dress. His desk was cluttered with an assortment of the oddest silver instruments he had ever seen and behind him on the wall was portraits of men and women who appeared to be pretending to sleep or talking quietly with their neighbors, some were even empty. He was half tempted to lift his forehead protector so that he could be certain that this wasn't an illusion but managed to restrain himself, just barely.
"Ahh, Minato, it's good to see you again." Said the odd man before turning his attention to Kakashi. "And I see you have a student of your own now."
Kakashi remained impassive but he had the childish urge to scowl behind his mask, it had taken him years for people to treat him like the trained and exceptional shinobi he was, clearly these people thought only in terms of age. "Actually Kakashi has been a jounin for about a year now and is very skilled, don't underestimate him." Minato warned good naturedly.
"Ahh, yes, I always forget that in your world the children are much more adapt then in ours. He will be the one in the tournament?" he asked though it really wasn't a question, it wasn't like Minato could pass as a student. "Well the other schools should be here shortly so I don't have a lot of time to explain in detail your mission peramitors. Besides myself, there are three other teachers here who know your true identities; you'll be introduced later tonight after the feast. Jiraiya has already brought your supplies and they are in your rooms which I will also show you after the feast. You will need to arrive on the front lawn in about twenty minutes, until then stay in my office." The man looked down at a wrist watch that was completely blank. "Minato, you've been to the tournament before so please fill in Kakashi in on a few of the details and remember to make an exciting entrance." He said with a smile at the last part.
He then rounded his desk and in a few strides had crossed the room and was out the door.
"An exciting entrance?" Kakashi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, wizards like to show off, a lot." He said. "Now about the other schools." He started and Kakashi already knew he wasn't going to be enjoying this mission.
