Naruto belongs to Kishimoto-Sama. HP belongs to JKR. I get nothing out of writing this except a sense of acomplishment and Kudos from my fellow pervs. DEAL!
Three ninja and a baby
A/N; Wow... This is a shocker... So far I have 30 reviews from the story on the Harry potter Archives... But only 15 From the Naruto side.. O.o…
This is Odd, to say the least. I thought that the Naruto side would comment WAY more than the Potter side, but... I guess not. Wow. Color me shocked. Still, I love reviews and I love my reviewers, be they Naruto or be they Potter!
Take care, everyone, and enjoy the next Chapter.
P.S: I actually have reviewer questions and Answers on the bottom of this chapter. *SHOCK AND AWE!* Take care!
Once again; the picture of Baby Harry’s eye. Aka; his un-activated Dojutsu.

Chapter 3; 3 ninjia and a Baby.
__________
Harry had decided there was really only one up and down to being a baby. The up, you really couldn’t do anything for yourself and others immediately assumed the role of doing it for you. The down, you really couldn’t do anything for yourself and others immediately assumed the role of doing it for you.
Only minutes after he had been taken out of the forest, his wraps had been taken away, and he had been careful fitted into a new outfit, and had a ridiculous looking hat put on over his head that made him look like he had cat ears… If it wasn’t for Harry’s new body, and his lack of knowledge of the Japanese language, he was sure he would have screamed at someone by now.
But since he HAD a new body and since he DIDN’T know Japanese, he’d just had to deal. The people around him think he is a baby... So, they were treating like a baby. And for all purposes, he WAS a baby. So, for now, he just had to act like a baby.
No matter how pathetic it would make him feel, or how demeaning it would be…
Hench, when being offered a bottle, he took it without complaint and pretended to be happy about it. The trick to not hurling, he learned quickly, was to only eat when you where really hungry and pretending it was milk, not... Well, whatever else it was.
He was then carried around a few places. First to a hospital, then to a store, then to a tower, then from room, to room, to room in that tower. All with different people in them, all of them looking over him over at one time or another.
It was then that he was carried into a room with a very old man that had robes on. A man that reminding him painfully of Dumbledore. Also, the man that had found him in the forest and two other men that he had never seen before. Both men seemed to be looking him over with odd looks of shock on their face. Harry took to looking at the more interesting one... The one with full-white eyes.
Harry couldn’t help but stare at them. I mean... They were so... ODD. I mean, seriously. Who had ever heard of fully white eyes? Who HAD fully white eyes? Well, this guy, apparently…
It was then that the men all started talking. And a 5th man, who Harry hadn’t seen, joined in the conversation from the window. It was then that Harry started picking up in the tension in the room...
Oh, no… Not good... Harry thought, expecting a fight to break out among the five at any moment.
_________
“Of course it’s NOT the Byakugan... And it’s obviously not the Sharingan, ether. It‘s something else.” Fugaku said, then looking to the child that seemed intent on staring at Hiashi.
“But…” Kakashi said, now snapping his book closed. “It is hard to look past the Byakugan like traits... Isn’t the yin-yang symboling a big part of the Byakugan and Gentle fist style of fighting?”
“Yes…” Hiashi said, though gritted teeth. “It symbolizes the balance of chakra, and control over one’s actions and self…”
“So… you’re saying it’s possible that this child’s father was a Hyuuga?” Fugaku asked, looking forward to the Hokage for confirmation… The Hokage only hummed before specking.
“We believe so...”
It was at this point that Hiashi’s anger started to show.
“Are you suggesting this...? Boy... Was fathered inside my clan, and was then just tossed out like trash?” Hiashi spat, clearly enraged. “The mere thought is an insult to my clan...”
“No...” Kakashi said, his annoying masked-covered smile now appearing on his face. “We’re suggesting that this boy was fathered OUTSIDE of your clan, and someone tried to cover it up...”
A wave of shock washed over Hiashi as he looked at the child again. This time with a mix of pity, sadness, and disgust.
“I’m telling you... That child is NOT a Hyuuga... If anyone was expecting, even outside of the clan, I would know about it… once a pregnancy is known, arrangements are immediately made. ”
“Maybe they didn’t know about the pregnancy… This is why he panicked when the woman appeared in the village with the child... A child, who as Uchiha-san said, didn’t have the Byakugan... But something else.”
Hiashi then locked his jaw as he fumed. How DARE they? How dare they sit here and blame someone from his clan for something that Dishonorable and evil…
It was then, though, that Hiashi took another look at the young infant’s eyes...
It was then that he had to admit certain facts, even if it was only to himself... Kakashi had a point. The eyes did seem to be an off-shot (or at least an edited version) of the Byakugan… though the swirl-like twist to it seemed to be more…
“I see... So that is why you called Uchiha-sama here as well…” It was at this that Shikaku Nara smiled even more devilishly.
“You see it, too, then, um? And yes, that’s why Fugaku is here as well.”
“And what do you mean by that?” Fugaku then stated, as he looked back and forth between the two.
“Well…” Kakashi then stated, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. “They’re saying that there’s a chance that an Uchiha could be the father as well…”
And with that one comment, the fight that had been brewing even before the conversation had begun was let loose.
__________
‘Oh-no....’ Harry thought, as the man that had found him before, the weird-eyed man, and the black-eyed man, and the masked man all started arguing and yelling loudly at one another.
It seemed that the dark-eyed man was the one being the loudest and most aggressive, while the spiky-haired scarred guy seemed to be defending himself or someone else, and the long-haired white-eyes guy and the masked guy seemed to be switching from one side to the other at different turns.
The volume in the room was getting really loud, and Harry found himself very uncomfortable all of a sudden. He knew EXCACTLY what they were fighting over... Him. Over who would get him, or not get him, and for whatever reasons.
It was at this point that the white-eyed man and the Black-eyed man seemed to start an argument all their own, and seemed for forget about the others entirely.
Truthfully, Harry had known that something like this was going to happen... But four people? And so soon? Harry was beginning to freak out…
__________
“Stop it, now! All of you!!” Mako snapped, stunning AMBU and Hokage alike.
“You’re scaring the baby.” The med-nin said, with surprising gusto. “So all of childish morons better quit your pointless bickering, and get back to the matter at hand… Immediately!”
All four of the men at the table where stunned into silence, as Kakashi just grinned under his mask.
“Well then...” The Hokage started. “Since it is still unknown as to who the father of the boy is, I suppose that paternity tests are in order.. Until then, I feel it’s best the child be remanded into the custody of Hatake kakashi…”
“What?” Every man in the room said... Including Kakashi.
“I said... That until the Child’s father is found... The child will be under the protective custody of Hatake Kakashi… NO EXCEPTIONS... Until we know who killed the mother, her child isn’t safe with ether clan.. So until we discover what occurred tonight, and can be assured of the parentage of this child, neither clan will be granted custody. Understood?”
“Yes, Hokage-Sama…” was the collective response. The tones that were used, on the other hand…
______________
Kakashi sighed as he walked down the street. The green-eyed baby boy curled up in his arms. Truthfully, he understood why he was given the assignment. He was the only Ninja in the leaf on equal footing with Dojustsu users.
If there was someone from one of the clans that wanted this baby boy dead, it would be nearly impossible for any normal jutsu user to stop him, and keep the child from harm. But Kakashi had the ability to be able to defend himself and the child, and more importantly, held no allegiance to ether of the two clans.
The Hyuuga clan had never bothered with him, or insulted him as they would if he had been had born a Uchiha. And the Uchiha clan, after realizing that Kakashi was keeping Obito’s eye, did nothing but sneer at him, and pretended he didn’t even exist. Not that Kakashi minded... Outside of Obito, Kakashi had no love for the Uchiha clan, even if he carried a Sharingan eye in his eye socket.
Still… Being stuck with this infant for a few weeks, at the least... Kakashi sighed. He had just lost his Sensei, the great fourth Hokage, no less then month ago. One of the few people that Kakashi had ever looked up to. One of the only people that had made life worth living…
But NO... Now he got stuck babysitting… literally.
Kakashi sighed once more, as he looked left and right. First to the windows of the stores and shopping stalls they were passing, then to the little bundle in his arms.
“Well, then... Chibi-chan.” Kakashi said using the name that the Shikaku seemed to have given the baby. “Let’s go get your supplies… Baby food, diapers, wipes, clothes, and a bed should do for now...”
Kakashi said, as the little boy looked up into Kakashi’s eyes, and then looking back around, sighing in a bored way. Kakashi’s eyes rose.
“Annnnnnd... Maybe a toy or to, in order to keep you busy…” Kakashi said, nodding to himself, as he headed into the first of many open-late stores he would go into tonight.
“Yes... Definitely something to keep you busy…”
__________
Hiashi glared at one of the Hyuuga elders that had immediately started accusing members of the Branch house of ‘siring a bastard outside the clan.’ It was only a large amount of restraint that Hiashi stopped himself from striking the load idiot, and reminding him that his own son had nearly been found guilty of the same thing... Luckily, the girl was found to be lying about the pregnancy before anything had come of it.
Still, this had quickly become a sore spot for Hiashi. Even as the elder’s wife snapped at him, and put him back in his place, Hiashi felt no calm. The clan had all but labeled this child an outcast, and refused him entry to the clan, without even seeing him or learning of his parentage.
For a man like Hiashi, who desired a child... No, a son, above anything else in this world… Well, it seemed to make him all the more bitter. Even so, a part of him understood. This boy was not yet proven to be blood.
It was only Hiashi that had laid eyes on the boy. Only Hiashi who had seen the dark black hair, and the stunning Yin-yang eyes. It was only Hiashi who had imagined welcoming this boy into his home, watching him and his talents grow, raising him as his own...
Hiashi saw a Hyuuga in that boy... Or a part of him that could become a Hyuuga. If he had the proper upbringing... And for a childless clan head like him, the option seemed quite tempting.
“I agree with Hitaro-sama here... Let us see this boy. Let us discover his heritage. IF he turns out to be Hyuuga, then we will decide what to do.” said one of the Hyuuga mothers. The other mothers nodded in agreement, and a good deal of the husbands nodded with.
“So it will be…” Hiashi said, grabbing his chance while he could. “I will arrange for Kakashi to bring the child before the clan... As for his parentage, I’ve been assured by the Hokage that that matter is well at hand and will be answered soon.”
All of the Members then bowed quickly, and then everyone dispersed. Hiashi spared a moment to nod to his twin, and spare a smile to his sleeping nephew. Neji was laid out comfortably and sleeping in his father’s arms. His hair, already long, was tucked behind a small infant’s cap. He had not stirred or cried, even during the ‘loader’ parts of the meeting tonight. Hiashi spared him a smile, and a soft touch to his back, as if a blessing.
It was then that he turned and left the meeting room. Towards his own bedroom... and to his wife.
__________
Fugaku helped his wife to her feet before he left his own place at the meeting. At 5 months Pregnant, his Mikoto had a more a little diffaculty getting up and down. She stood on her own feet soon after, though, and quickly set her kimono to rights.
She seemed to be a little more troubled then the others at the news that was given then. She was sure that the Village would have no problem in rising to defend the child... but what about afterwards? SOMEONE would have to step in, and help to raise the child. Children, Exspecully those with Dojutsu's, Where very precious. They need to be handled and raised with care.
A child with a Bloodline that was wasn't raised right could end up being unstable. Being a Mass-murder or, Heaven forbid a Nuke-nin. (1)
Mikoto sighed, and rubbed her stomach. Where she knew he second son lay resting. This whole situation had hurt her heart, and she couldn't bear the though of that poor innocent child being on his own. if anything like that had ever happened in her clan, She knew that she would have nothing to fear.. She had cousins, Aunts, and Uncles that would be glad to take a child of the clan into there home. But this boy.. This poor child... He had noone.
"Is something bothering you, Mikoto?..." Fugaku asked. His wife stood, but didn't seem to move. As a Matter of fact, she looked a bit nervious.
"Yes, actully.." Mikoto said, looking up to Fugaku. "About this child..."
"Yes, dear?.." Fugaku said, dreading the next words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Even if the child turns out not to be a Uchiha... I want you to request guardianship."
Fugaku's slanted eyes didn't move, but you could tell he had blanched.
"Mikoto, You don't seriously mean that.." Fugaku started, but was stopped by his wife's intense stare.
"Yes, Husband, I Do..." She said. Aimming each word like a kunai. "I won't have a child with a Doujustu out there on his own... He will need a family.. he will need a Clan."
Fugaku frowned as he took in his wife's words. He didn't really think this was a good idea.. They already had one son, and had another on the way.. Wasn't that more then enough? Why did his wife want to bring a Thrid into this?.. he really didn't see a reason.
"I think it's a good idea.." Fugaku and Mikoto then looked to the door. There oldest son, Itachi, looked back at them. He was dresses, from head to foot in black training gear. They didn't even need to ask way he was up this late, or if he had been listening in, As it was obvious that he was. What was unsettleing was that if he hadn't desided to show himself, he wouldn't have been noticed at all. His small form didn't seem to hold a once of guilt, at ether easedropping or interupting on the conversation. His eyes and his face much like his father's, but his hair just like his mothers. He stood, straight and tall. a Posture and poise he should have at that age. Mikoto smiled at her son.
"If it turns out he's not a Hyuuga, I dought they will want him in there clan, anyway.." Itachi said, with a logic that halted Fugaku's objection before he even spoke.
"Becides. There more then enought room in the Uchiha clan.. haveing one more boy around wouldn't hurt."
Fukaku sighed, as looked back and forth. From his wife, and then to his son. He didn't like the idea.. He didn't like the idea at all.. But.. He sighed.
"We'll see..."

(1) Sorry.. But i have a very mordid sense of humor. I though it would be amusing to have Mikoto, The mother of infamious Uchiha brothers, Worry about the child becomeing a Mass murder and Nuke-nin.. For obvious reasons. I hope you guys got a kick out of that as well. It was a true, "*Snicker*, Just wait.." Moment for me.
P.S; I'm Nearly Half-way thought the Next chapter.. So if i Push, Really push, I May be able to Post it tonight.
>.< Here's to Hoping!!
*Gets back to work.*
This is Odd, to say the least. I thought that the Naruto side would comment WAY more than the Potter side, but... I guess not. Wow. Color me shocked. Still, I love reviews and I love my reviewers, be they Naruto or be they Potter!
Take care, everyone, and enjoy the next Chapter.

(1) Sorry.. But i have a very mordid sense of humor. I though it would be amusing to have Mikoto, The mother of infamious Uchiha brothers, Worry about the child becomeing a Mass murder and Nuke-nin.. For obvious reasons. I hope you guys got a kick out of that as well. It was a true, "*Snicker*, Just wait.." Moment for me.
