Sparks of Change


Chapter 2


“You want me to what?” Keitaro asked smoothly, green eyes narrowed with annoyance.

“We want you to retake the Chuunin exams. Now don’t get huffy with me young man. The elders know that you achieved the rank Kage fairly, but they want to make sure the other countries know that you aren’t just a figure head,” Gashira responded, grinning slightly.

“And where are the Chuunin exams being held this year?” Keitaro inquired, displeased.

“Konoha. Considering the fact that you still have three years until your able to complete the betrothal, the elders and I thought you’d enjoy this chance to meet your betrothed,” Gashira responded, grinning madly.

“Indeed. When do the exams begin?”

“In two weeks. If you leave today, you should be there in plenty of time,”

“As you wish,” Keitaro swept from the room, letting the door slam behind him.

“Well that could have went better,” Gashira remarked sardonically. There was a pause as the two ANBu guards of the Raikage shimmered into place.

“You will follow Keitaro and keep him out of mischief. Don’t let him know that he’s being followed, and ignore the Leaf nin who is also following him. It seems as if our Lord’s betrothed is more worried about him than he let on. The Leaf nin is an invisible bodyguard. Nothing more, nothing less. Ignore him, but keep our Raikage safe,” Gashira ordered, frowning darkly at the thought of the Leaf nin following.

*Flashback*

“Who are you and why are you following our Kage?” Gashiraa demanded sharply.

Kakashi looked up from his book and smiled benignly. “Hatake Kakashi, Jounin from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Your Kage is my new mission,” was the lazy response.

“What do you mean by mission?” Gashira snarled, ready to kill the Leaf ninja.

“Exactly what I said. Your Lord’s Fiancé demanded a bodyguard for him. While I know that Nii is a Kage, I couldn’t argue with my mission. After all your Kage is only 14. He’s still young enough to make a mistake that age and wisdom would ignore. As such, and because of the threat of Orochimaru, it was decided that until such time as the Uchiha could claim him, I would protect the Kage with my life,” Kakashi replied uninterestingly, as if only talking of the weather.

“May I see your mission papers?” Gashira hissed, not liking the cocky Jounins attitude.

“Of course,” Kakashi reached into a pocket and pulled out the letter from the Hokage, with a negligent sigh he handed it over to Gashira.

Gashira snatched the letter from Kakashi and read through it with a scowl. It seemed on the up and up, so there was nothing he could do.

“Just don’t let the Kage know your following him, I’d hate to have to bury your corpse after he was done with you,” Gashira spat before leaving the startled Leaf nin to his thoughts.

*End Flashback*

The two ANBu nodded and vanished, leaving Gashira to take care of the paperwork in silence. With a pensive frown, he whispered, “Yuzuki, we miss you. I only hope you knew what you were doing…”

Keitaro entered his apartment with a low growl. Pulling off his Kage robes, he threw them to the ground. Stomping to his closet he pulled down his rucksack and began packing. Pulling out a gray shirt, he added a pair of black slacks. Adding a green shirt and an extra pair of pants, he turned towards his flak jackets. Even though he was a Jounin, Keitaro knew he wouldn’t be allowed to wear his jacket until after the exams. With a sigh he packed it in his rucksack. Better to be safe than sorry.

After closing the snaps on his bag, he turned to his weapons closet. Opening the vault, he pulled out the first box. Inside were common Kunai and Shurikens. Keitaro grabbed a few extras to restock his kit before replacing the box. Reaching for the second box, he smirked.

Exploding Notes were a personal favorite…as Gashira knew from experience. Shuffling through the notes Keitaro pulled out a few of the so-so explosives. Before closing the box, he pulled out the three red notes. Fast burning, just one could level a medium sized building in five seconds. When all three were lit, nothing would be left standing in a 75 ft radius.

Placing the box back in the vault, Keitaro grabbed the last box on the first shelf. Inside the box were Makibishi. If an escape was necessary, they would be worth the slight weight.

Replacing the box, he turned to the second shelf. Only one box graced it, a long thin box about four inches tall. Opening the box, Keitaro smirked. While he liked the Kunai and Shurikens, Senbon were his personal favorite. After all, throwing needles were so much more personal than the knives and stars.

After replacing the lid on his box of Senbon needles, he placed it back on the shelf. Turning to the third shelf, he pulled out the vial of HyourouGan, soldier provision pills. While he wasn’t going into battle, it was safer to be prepared.

Closing his weapons closet, Keitaro placed a chakra seal on it. If anyone tried to open it, they would get the shock of a lifetime.

Moving to his desk, Keitaro pulled open the bottom drawer and withdrew all his scrolls. Turning to the bed, he tossed them down. Going through them, he picked out the ones that seemed the most useful before replacing the others in his drawer.

Adding another chakra seal, Keitaro packed up his belongings and turned and left the room. Pausing outside his door, he frowned at the two guards.

“I suppose Gashira ordered you two to follow me,” Keitaro sighed and rubbed his forehead. Of course the ANBu didn’t say anything, just watched him impassively through their masks.

“Whatever. I have to go see Gashira and get my pass. IF you insist on following me, I’ll be leaving the by the front gate in ten minutes. This is your only warning, lose me and I won’t wait up,” with that said, Keitaro left his apartment building and vanished.

Kakashi watched in awed silence as the youth outperformed his guards. Maybe the kid wasn’t just Kage in name only.

Gashira looked up as Keitaro stormed back into his office. “Did you forget something?” He asked with a sardonic smirk.

“My pass. Without it I wouldn’t make it passed the gates of Konoha. I assume you have one for me, otherwise you wouldn’t be smirking,” Keitaro drawled, folding his arms in front of him.

“You’re right, here’s your pass. As you can see the Chuunin exams are in two weeks. You have plenty of time to get there, so don’t kill yourself,” Gashira responded, handing over the small pass that held Keitaros’ picture and stats. “Don’t forget to take your Bingo book, it may come in handy. Update it if you get the chance,” Gashira urged, ignoring Keitaro as he rolled his eyes.

“What if the Hokage doesn’t allow me to retake the exams, do you want me to hurry back?” Keitaro asked, as the thought finally crossed his mind.

“No. Spend the time getting to know your betrothal. Don’t hurry back here, enjoy yourself kid. Your paperwork will still be here when you return,” Gashira replied with a genuine smile.

“As you wish,” Keitaro nodded slightly.

“Keitaro…,” Gashira broke off as if unsure what exactly to say.

“Yes?”

“Try to make ally’s with the Leaf Genin, you never know when one of them might come in handy. After all, you aren’t the only Jinchuuriki in our world. And while the others may not have as close as a bond as you have with your Bijuu, maybe you can help them come to terns with their guests,” Gashira sighed and rubbed his eyes, for once showing his age and weariness.

“I’ll try,” Keitaro replied softly before vanishing through the door.

A single tear sparkled in Gashira’s gaze before he blinked it away, “That’s all I ask,” came the solemn avowal.

Keitaro left through the main gates of Kumogakure at a fast clip. While he knew that he had almost two weeks to make the four-day trip, he didn’t want to meander. The sooner he got to Konohagakure, the sooner he could meet with the Hokage and see if he would even be able to retake the Chuunin exams.

Knowing that he was being followed, Keitaro kept the fast clip pace until he had crossed the border of Lightning Country into Hidden Moon country. Luckily the two were allies, or it would have been harder.

Pausing on the other side of the border, Keitaro found a clearing and set up camp. If he rested there for the night, he could get up at dawn and make it through Moon and into Whirlpool country by noon tomorrow. And once he made it through Whirlpool, he’d cross the border into Fire Country.

With that plan in mind, he prepared dinner for himself. Knowing that his ANBu guard was still around, Keitaro hesitated only a moment before eating dinner. Rolling his eyes, he left his two guards a couple of cooked fish and the rest of the rice and crawled into his sleeping bag.

Sleep overtook the young nin swiftly, and by the time the moon started to rise, he was sleeping soundly.

His guards took opposite positions in the clearing, watching over their young lord. Nothing would disturb his rest this evening.

A.N. Okay I saved this for the end, this way you don’t have to deal with it until after the story.

1. Ages. Itachi is 17, Keitaro/Harry is 14, Sasuke, Naruto and the rest of the Genin are 13/14. Basically whatever age they were when they took the Chuunin exams is how old they are. Our favorite silver haired Jounin is 25… almost 26. (that’s Kakashi! LoL)

Anyways.

2. Deaths. Orochimaru killed Yuzuki, Keitaros adopted mother when he attacked Kumo. He was driven out of Kumo by Keitaro, with the help of Nibi, the Demon that possessed him after the death of her previous host Yugito. In this story Yuzuki Nii was Yugito’s mother, in case I didn’t make this clear in the previous chapter. Yugito was killed by Akatsuki, they tried to capture Nibi but failed. Nibi foraged a bond with the newly arrived Harry Potter…. Even though Harry was fifteen months old at the time. Nibi has always chosen her host, she’s never been sealed away like the other demons.

3. After the attack on Kumo, Itachi fled Orochimaru’s group and joined Akatsuki. Knowing that he couldn’t return to Konoha, he’s trying to find a way to protect his betrothed. Itachi has a feeling that Keitaro is a Jinchuuriki, but doesn’t know for sure.

4. At this time Kakashi is intrigued by Keitaro, but he still sees him as little more than a child. Knowing that Keitaro has earned his right as Kage, Kakashi is a little leery of what exactly Keitaro can do.

Okay guys I think that’ sit. If you have any questions, review or PM me and let me know. I hope ya’ll are enjoying this, I know that I am.

BTW Does anyone want an Itachi? He’s fighting with Lex and Clark over Harry. He seems to think that Harry belongs to him and he doesn’t want to share… not even with Kakashi….

Later guys!
