Chapter 4

Training


The days that went by and September 1st was getting closer. The four had already learnt some spells and were now up to the severing charm.

One afternoon, the quartet had gone on a 1 hour walk past Diagon Alley and found a valley. No one was there so they decided to use it to train, as it had a lake and lots of tree's.

"Diffindo!" shouted Sakura, holding her toy wand but also pointing her finger at a pile to a long patch of grass. The grass was cut neatly to the length Sakura wished.

"Yay! I got it!" she said happily.

Naruto was finding the spell difficult and already nearly cut Sasuke in half.

Harry had been practising Taijutsu, to strengthen his body more. Sasuke was meditating.

After 1 hour and 30 minutes they rotated, Harry practised Ninjutsu, Sakura meditated, Naruto continued to practise the spell, and Sasuke joined him.

They kept doing this all day only stopping to have breaks when they got tired or hungry.

When the sky became dark they all jogged back to Diagon Alley and the Leaky cauldron.

They all entered Sakura's room, and sat down on her bed.

"less than a week until we get to go to Hogwarts!" Sakura shouted excitedly, crossing of another day on her calender.

A lady walked in carrying food and handed it to them before leaving.

"I love room service" said Naruto clapping his hands together.

They all at and discussed their progress.

Sasuke was starting hover. They had all completed the Severing Charm,("Finally!, it took us 'bout a week trying to do it!" said Naruto in between chunks full of food.)

Harry was now going over what he learnt before going to the next stage in Ninja training.

They had all named their pets familiar's as well, except or Sasuke. Naruto's meerkat was called "Chujitsuna".

Sakura named her Eagle "Kenkyo".

Harry named his owl "Yukana" but called her "Yuki" for short.

They were also making up their own language, in case they needed to tell each other something but couldn't get privacy.

They next day, they all jogged back to the valley.

"I wonder where the rest all are." said Sasuke.

"Who?" asked Harry.

"Our old friends, remember how we told you about Neji, Hinata, Shikamaru and Ino and the rest?" said Sakura.

"oh yeah" he said, eating a salad Tom had prepared earlier. "What if they're in Diagon Alley?".

"They could be. But we don't have time to go looking for them. We need to train ourselves. To defeat Orochimaru once again." said Sasuke.

"You know, 'till this day, I still can't believe a baby beat Orochimaru, and it took us over a year to, and we had powerful ninja!" said Naruto.

Sasuke and Sakura nodded grimly.

"People died because of him. Even one of the most powerful leaders ever! but he was reincarnated into Dumbldore" said Naruto,smiling sadly.

"I think we should train differently." said Sakura. "I'm really getting confused now"

Sasuke agreed. "I think we should do the same thing at the same time, now that Harry has caught up with us.".

Naruto and Harry nodded. "Let's meditate, the sooner we learn how to fly, the better." said Naruto. "and Sakura can practise her word magic too." . And that is what they did.

The quartet sat in a line, crossing their legs and emptying their minds. Sakura concentrated her mind on Word magic, imagining herself doing it. She opened one eye and saw Sasuke Hovering in circles, Naruto was going up in a straight line but he getting higher and higher. Harry was only Hovering a short distance. She closed her eyes again and started to meditate.

Ater a while, they all stopped to have a break.

"That was great!" said Sakura.

"No it wasn't, I didn't even move" said Sakura.

"Yes you did, you were going in circles in the air, Naruto was hovering higher and higher, and Harry was hovering a short distance from the ground." she said simply.

"That's what I imagined myself doing!" said Naruto.

"Yeah, but it felt like I wasn't even moving." said Harry.

"wow." said Sakura. "I'll research that,".

"Let's do some Taijutsu" said Harry. It was his favourite.

"Okay" said the others.

"Let's split up into two groups and practise on each other" said Sasuke. The other three nodded and partnered up. Harry with Sakura, and Naruto with Sasuke.

"Just basic's for now, to refresh our body" he said.

Harry punched, kicked and blocked. Suddenly they heard a scream. They stopped straight away. "What was that?" wondered Sakura.

"I don't know but it was coming from here, follow me" said Naruto.

They jumped from tree to tree until they reached a village, it wasn't even far from the valley.

"Look!" pointed out Harry. There was a group of men harassing a woman.

"let's help her, but only Taijutsu, I think it's a muggle village" Said Sasuke as they ran.

"Hey jerk!" shouted Naruto. He stuck out his tongue.

"Why you little-" the man tried grabbing Naruto but Harry came and kicked him full in the face, then Sasuke came and finished it off. Sakura was calming the woman down.

"Thank you! thank you so much!" She had her hand on her chest and she was breathing heavily.

"you are very talented children, theres lot's of crimes in this area, the world need's people like you." said the woman, giving them ten dollars each.

"Thank you, were happy to help" said Sakura.

The quartet walked back to the valley.

"I think we should help that village. Stop all the crimes and stuff," said Naruto.

"Yeah, but we should stay hidden or else people might come after us."

"what about black cloaks and masks?" said Sakura

"Yeah, and weapons," said Sasuke

"we'll need a name" said Harry

"How about the Ninja Four?" said Naruto

"That actually sounds really good." said Sasuke.

"we should have code names though, like the ANBU" said Sakura.

"What about our pets names?" said Harry

"There is no way I'm being called Meerkat" said Naruto.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, I don't really wanna be called Owl either" said Harry.

"Let's go by the Hogwarts emblem animals" said Sasuke.

"Yeah! and let's change the cloaks so instead of black they can be yellow, green, red, and blue." said Naruto.

"Yeah, that'll work." said Naruto, drinking water.

"Come on, let's practise some elemental magic." said Sakura.

Sakura had been able to make it rain in a specific area, than she lowered a cloud, which she realised became solid when she touched it.

"If a muggle were to touch it," she said. "It would stay transparent. For magic folk it becomes solid and depending on how good of a person you are, it allows you to ride it."

"So now, you not being able to fly doesn't matter, as you can ride clouds!" said Harry joyfully.

At the end of the day, Sasuke was able to produce a small flame onto his hand. At first it burnt, then it tickled and then it felt as if he'd had it his whole life.

Naruto was able to send a spark of electricity, for him also, it electrified him, then made him feel tingly and then felt like he was born with it.

Sakura could produce a block of Ice, at first she nearly froze to death, then she felt pins and needles and then the same as the others.

Harry was able to make a small wave in the lake, and made it snow just around them.

At the end of the day, they were all exhausted and their energy drained. It was 8:24 p.m and they were jogging back to Diagon Alley. They entered the leaky cauldron when Sasuke thought of something.

"What if we put camera's around that muggle village so we could then know what's going on, and we'll charm them to notify us when there's trouble." he said as they entered Sakura's room, which was the most organised.

"That is a good idea, but how will the camera's notify us?" asked Naruto,

"Hmm leave that to me." said Sakura, pulling out a sketchbook. She took out a pencil and started to sketch something.

"I've charmed them to draw what I'm thinking of." she said. A minute later, she turned it around and showed them what she had been drawing.

"It's a watch. It'll tell the time so no one gets suspicious, but if you put in a certain password here-" she pointed to it. "then it'll sort of like slide open and show all these buttons. It'll also have a hologram screen. So when the camera's find trouble, the watch will vibrate, and then you'll click this button-" she pointed to somehwere else now, "then it'll accept, and show you what happened. It'll be no problem even while were at hogwarts, but it will be when were in class." she said.

"Thats awsome!" said Naruto.

"Yeah, you should do this often." said Harry.

"Oh, I do." said Sakura, blushing, her hair turning a deep shade of red. She showed them a sketch of a device that would teleport them wherever they wanted.

"It's nothing like a portkey. You push this button, and then it should make a beeping noise and then it should start glowing. Then you press this blue button and put the teleporter to your mouth like this-" she showed them,"and say were you want to go, and it'll take you there."

"That's amazing Sakura!" said Sasuke. If possible, Sakura went even more red, accidentally sprouting cat ears and whiskers.

"So how long do we have left until Hogwarts?"asked Harry,losing track of time.

Sakura got up and checked her calendar. "no way, theres one day left." she said in shock.

"Wow, I guess we've been so caught up in training, we didn't even realise..." Said Harry.

"Well, what should we do tomorrow?" asked Sakura, sitting back down.

"Well, no training, that's for sure. I think we should look around Diagon Alley, we might make new aqqauinteces, or see old friends," said Sasuke.

"Alright. Well go to bed or something. Goodnight" said Sakura,yawning. The boys all left and went to sleep.

The next morning, the quartet spent the morning packing things away. They packed their spare toy wands at the bottom of their trunks and other things they wouldn't want others to see. Sakura had finished the watches. She made them all waterproof and made them the same colour as the Houses they were to be in. She entered Diagon Alley alone this time.

She wondered around, buying materials for more of her inventions, and other stuff. She passed a shop and bought heaps of headbands which she charmed to protect her from any hexes, potions or curses. She also bought the boys some protective items. Then when she thought she'd go back, she heard some familiar voices.

"Wonder what we'll do there?" asked a female voice.

"I hope there's lot's of food" said a male one.

"This is all too troublesome for me." said another.

"Ino-pig! Shikamaru! Choji!" Sakura shouted turning around.

A blonde girl spun around, along with a black haired boy, and a chubby brunette boy.

"Sakura-chan?" said Choji.

"Where are Sasuke and Naruto?" asked Shikamaru.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ino.

"Hey! Sasuke and Naruto are in the leaky Cauldron. We've been staying here with a friend. His name is Harry Potter." said Sakura, hugging them each.

"You mean that Boy Who Lived kid?" asked Ino.

"Yeah. But he's actually really nice, we also trained him to be a ninja, he's a natural in Taijutsu." said Sakura. "Come on! we've got so much to catch up on." she grabbed Ino's arm and pulled her, running to the leaky cauldron.

"Sakura! we were wondering where-" Sasuke said, then realising her companions.

"INO! SHIKAMARU! CHOJI!" said Naruto, happily bouncing around.

"I don't think I've ever been so happy to see that idiot." said Shikamaru,shrugging.

The quartet told team 10 about everything that had happened so far. They hadn't looked surprised. "Well, coming from you 3, I'd expect no less. But this kid is totally corrupted." said Shikamaru, pointing to Harry.

"So you've been practising huh?" asked Ino. "Well so have we. I have this awesome power where I can turn into anybody I've ever laid eyes on. It's like my jutsu I used to and still use, but this power is way better, I can duplicate my self and then change my appearances to look like someone else, then I can control both me and my duplicated self at the same time." said Ino.

"Yeah, and I have Shadow power, I can make shadows, control them, everything I used to be able to do, except it's power increased." said Shikamaru.

"Yeah, and whenever I eat food, I get more strength." said Choji happily.

"Oh yeah!, we forgot to tell you" said Sakura. They then explained to Team 10 how they were Hogwarts heirs, about all their special abilities.

"Oooh! I'm so jealous." pouted Ino.

"But it's to bring down Orochimaru in this life too." said Naruto.

"Hey our watches are vibrating." said Sasuke.

"Yeah." said Harry, clicking a button, suddenly the vibrating stopped and a hologram appeared. It showed a bank robbery, and 3 guys were holding people hostage.

"Come on." said Sasuke, pulling his hood over his head. He pulled out Sakura's Teleporter, and as they all grabbed each other, they swirled and swirled until they were no longer in the leaky cauldron, but just outside a familiar forest.

"What's going-?" asked Ino.

"Just watch," said Sakura, leaping onto a roof. She ran to the bank, followed by Sasuke, Harry and Naruto. Ino, Choji and Shikamaru were following close behind too.

The Quartet leaped down in front of a bank. The were police officers surrounding it from everywhere.

"Leave it to us" said Sasuke. He kicked the doors open.

"W-we've got Hostages!" said a man, grabbing the closest person he could find. He held a gun to their head.

"Shut up!" said Harry angrily. Naruto sped toward him and kicked the gun out of his hands, he grabbed the woman and placed her down, and punched the guy. Sasuke took care of another guy, while Harry the other. Sakura led all the adults, children and babies outside to safety, while the boys continued to kick the robbers ass. When they were done, they handed them over to the police.

"T-thank you." said the policeman, surprised.

The quartet nodded and sped off.

"What was that all about?" asked Ino, once they re-joined them.

"We're doing missions," said Sasuke.

"Oh, well what's with those watches?" asked Shikamaru

"Sakura made them, they notify us when there's trouble. If we don't receive it, it goes to our phones."

Team 10 nodded in understanding. "This is where we always train, magic, ninjutsu, elemental magic, genjutsu and Taijutsu." said Naruto, as they reached the valley.

"so any of you seen the others?" asked Sasuke.

"Well, we've seen Neji, but he was in a hurry or something. Oh yeah! and Lee, he was looking for Sakura everywhere, I mean literally everywhere, heck he nearly left the country until Hokage-sama came and told him you were still in England." said Ino,laughing.

Sakura blushed. The rest of the evening went by and the group of 7 were catching u and showing each other their new skills.

"So where are you staying?" asked Naruto.

"Here at the leaky Cauldron, we got here today." said Shikamaru. The others nodded.

"Kay well, goodnight." said Sakura, stretching and yawning.

"Goodnight" said the others, and they all went separate ways.


Was it good? The next chapter is just them going to platform 9 3/4 and yes they will see more of their friends.
