The Wrong Dimension (Naruto X HP)

The Hidden Shinobi Nations Explained

Star if you like this chapter ;)

As promised, Harry and Ron saved their friend some dry food as they both knew Hermione was going to be working up quite the appetite after extensive research in the Library was done.

When Hermione arrived right on time for Professor Binn's classroom, they gave her some salvaged pumpkin juice and several finger sandwiches.

As Hermione ate it, she told them what she found out, "Ninjas have a complete different history compared to ours. For one thing, the Muggles know of their existence and would sometimes employ them for missions. Depending on the danger that will be present, a certain ranked team, as young as 12, can do it and receive the negotiated pay after. Another would be that they can practice their 'magic' freely. In fact, the casualties we saw before in Hagrid's class is to expected when ninjas train or fight each other."

Ron was amazed, "Wow, what I wouldn't give to do magic in front for Muggles."

Meanwhile, Harry focused on Hermione's second sentence, "So." He said slowly, "They basically can be anything. Like assassins, murderers, kidnappers, soldiers, killers. That sort of thing, Hermione?"

Hermione fidgeted, "That's only one of their facets. But, basically yeah. Those knives Tenten was throwing around are one way of uhm...ending someone's life. Another would be using a jutsu meant to finish them off, usually through the heart or *ahem* beheading them."

Ron gaped and Harry reeled back in disgust; so these ninjas had the blood of multiple people's lives on their hands and they still had the audacity to smile?

Hermione would've reported more of her findings if it wasn't for Professor Binn floating in.

"Good afternoon, class. Today we shall be reviewing in extent the Goblin Wars of 1845. Now-"

The class began the familiar routine of looking out of the windows and/or drifting off to sleep.

Hermione's hand shot up in the air, disrupting Binn's lesson.

Looking quite ruffled and surprised that someone actually raised a hand, he called on Hermione, "Yes, Mrs. Granger?"

"Yes, Professor. Sorry for the disruption, but what do you know of the Hidden Shinobi Nations?"

Half-asleep students perked up and nudged their already-asleep friends awake.

30 pairs of curious, expectant eyes laid upon the flustered Professor for the second time since his death. [A/N: Remember the Chamber of Secrets?]

"Yes, well. They never revealed much about themselves, even when there was no shield separating us wizards and the shinobi. What we do know is the very basics."

Hermione waved past his feeble excuse, "It is better than nothing, Professor. Please?"

Binn sighed in defeat, "Very well. Mainly why we don't know much is because many of them are village secrets. We say 'village' because the countries in the Shinobi Nations are actually large villages."

Hermione nodded her head while quickly writing everything down.

"Each village is led by a powerful ninja individual, called a 'Kage' with an arsenal of 100 different jutsus,  that is acknowledged and elected by the townspeople. It is the Kage who leads the village and formalizes alliances with other Hidden Villages."

Harry suddenly knew why Kiba and Naruto both wanted to be the Hokage back home; it was to the respect that came with being the Kage that appealed to the both of them.

"Within each village are clans, and within every clan is either a special characteristic or jutsu only the family can perform. These special type of jutsus reserved only for the clan is called a 'kekkei genkai', a bloodline limit. For the sake of your understanding, I shall explain the clans our guests are from. The Uchiha and the Hyuuga clan are prestigious clans in Konohagakure; the equivalent of our pureblood families.
