The Wrong Dimension (Naruto X HP)

The Wrong Dimension OVA (1)

Harry took the ninjas outside; into the empty Quidditch Field.

In both hands, he held a bunch of school broomsticks.

By his side, Ron held some more.

The ninjas trekked behind them in a group.

Some of them of confused, some were curious, while the rest were excited to finally try out the wizards' favorite way to travel.

While they knew the brooms were not of the best quality, they still wanted to pass the time by.

What better way to learn something new then a hands-on activity?

They arrived in the center of the grassy field; all lined up in a straight line.

Harry stood before them like a captain ready to dish out the orders for the mission.

Ron stood next to him like the captain's right-hand.

Harry laid each broom in front of them.

Channeling his Inner-Madam Hooch persona, he instructed them.

((Based on the first Harry Potter Movie))

"Okay, first step up to the left side of the broom."

They did so, but with questioning gazes.

"Now, hold out your dominant hand -the one you write with, if you didn't know."

They held out their right hands over the broom, looking at the broom below.

"Now say up!"

Sounds of the word 'up' filled the air.

The prodigies -Neji, Sasuke, and Shikamaru- all got it on their first try.

Naruto and Kiba got it soon after, not wanting to lose to their generation's geniuses.

"Put passion into it, guys!"

The rest soon got their brooms into their hands after Harry's encouragement.

Harry 'accio-ed' his Firebolt from the shed and mounted it.

"Now mount it and hold onto it tightly. Falling off is a big risk when riding a broom."

They nodded as they tightened their grips on the stick.

Harry continued with his teaching, "Now push off the ground hard then lean slightly forward. Lean right or left to change directions, got it? On the count of three, we'll take off."

He paused, then started the countdown.

"3...2...1..."

Naruto immediately shoved off the ground and into the air.

He expected himself to fall down soon after, but to his immense surprise, he actually stayed in the air.

He grinned while his friends looked up, shocked.

"WHEE! THIS IS FUN, DATTEBAYO! C'MON, YOU GUYS! FLY ALREADY, DATTEBAYO!"

Neji, Sasuke, and Shikamaru all looked at one another with deadpanned looks.

The Academy's dead last actually understood a concept better than them?

They shrugged and followed after their gleeful teammate's example.

Tenten and Sakura wobbled some before they smoothed it out, Hinata gripped tightly onto the broom's shaft, Chouji just drifted around, Shino just hovered, Lee was following Naruto's way of exploring the broom: he was zipping around in the air while exclaiming this was another way to become youthful, Ino, Kiba, and Sai just flew on lazily while making the occasional lean to the sides to change directions, Neji and Shikamaru were making laps around the field, and Sasuke went this and that.

Naruto was making barrels and loops high up in the air, gleefully expressing his happiness.

Soon after, he challenged Lee to a race around the field, to which Lee enthusiastically accepted. The air was soon filled with Naruto's and Lee's cheers and whoops, along with their friends laughing and cheering them on.

Gonna get a bit heavy from here on out...You've been warned...

While Naruto was expressing his glee rather loudly, Sasuke looked up and observed his expressions with a rather guilty conscience.

Very rarely had Naruto actually got the experience of real happiness, as being the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi ostracized him very early in his childhood.

Sure, Sasuke was also alone in his childhood as well, but he had memories to help him of happier times to cope with the loss of his clan and suppress his killing desire for Itachi.

Naruto, on the other hand, had absolutely nothing to live on by. His earliest memories were of the villagers hating on his very existence, the only way he ever got them to acknowledge his presence was through him playing stupid pranks every hour of the day. Back in their genin days, It had only been Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Teuchi-san of the Ichiraku stand, and the Konoha 9 that accepted him.

Why, it's a miracle that the dobe above had found the strength to smile and laugh every single day.

Sasuke had asked this question many times to Naruto during their spars: Why are you so obsessed with me?

Naruto always replied with a determined tone: Because you're my first friend, Sasuke.

Sasuke knew him breaking away from Konoha and deserting it in favor for power from Orochimaru would break Team 7 the next day; especially in Naruto's case.

Sure, he came back to help with the war efforts and it had appeared that things were mended between him and Naruto, along with Sakura's and his relation as well.

But there were bits and pieces missing in the abyss of time, no longer recoverable.

There was still a gaping chasm separating the three from one another.

The few times Sasuke had made contact with Naruto; very rarely was he smiling his cheerful grin.

Naruto's strong chakra aura that always was slightly visible was never his cheery, sunshine-y one. Instead, it was one of determination and power with the Kyuubi's hinting at it just under the surface of Naruto's blue one.

Sasuke sighed, his head dropping back to the broom he was grasping to operate his flight.

Might as well let Naruto enjoy this one moment of freedom, I suppose.

Very short, I know, but it's for the few of the readers who wanted to see the ninjas on broomsticks.

The last bit was from another 'Harry X Naruto crossover' I read a while back.

I forgot the title and the author's name, sorry ;-; but I wanted to implement that bit into this OVA chapter to further emphasize the deep bond Sasuke always had with Naruto, so there you go!

Word Count: 1,076 :)

Hint at the at next chapter: Kussaku alerted the Gokages, "I've located the Nine-Tails, as well as the rest of the missing ninjas." Mei stood up, "Where are they, Kussaku? Naruto and the rest could be in danger from the Akatsuki!" TBC
