I did make a part 2 for it on this blog, but I omitted some bits because AtO hadn't reached the point where Naruto's secret is revealed.
So even though there's just a few new bits to this, I'm listing this as the actual Part 2 to the 'Harry Nara' AU.

“Why do I have to
know all this?” Harry asked for what felt like the millionth time
that day.
“Because...”
“If you say that I
am the clan head one more time, I will kick you,” Harry said with
an annoyed hiss.
Shikaku blinked at him.
“Not saying it out loud doesn't change that fact that you are
indeed...”
“Don't,” Harry
said and rubbed his forehead. “The paperwork hasn't come through.
And hopefully won't. So I'm not really supposed to be knowing the
clan's deepest and darkest secrets.”
“It's only a
matter of time,” Shikaku said. “Our people in the tower will
ensure that the paperwork reaches the correct desks.”
Harry groaned.
Shikaku seemed to feel
some sympathy for him and said, “We could leave all the
official items for another time.”
“Yes,” Harry
perked up. “Instead let's play another game of shogi and fix this
giant mistake.”
Shikaku shook his head,
just as he had done the previous times that Harry had suggested it.
“Once lost, the position cannot be won back.”
Harry sighed in annoyance.
“Why are we in the forest?”
“There is a matter
of some urgency to deal with,” Shikaku said as they stopped in
front of a mound. “It seems that the Akatsuki fiend that Shikamaru trapped
in here has been moving up slowly.”
After a
long detailed explanation, Harry contemplated the issue for a long moment. “What were you planning
to do? When you were the clan head?”
“Keep reburying
him,” Shikaku said. “If he cannot be killed now, then imprisonment until we can really deal with him was our only option. Do you have any other ideas?”
Harry tilted his head with
a sudden realization. If he messed this up, then surely he would lose
his ridiculous position as the clan head. “Dig him up.”
