Demon Serpent
Disclaimer: Naruto and Harry Potter are not mine... I own only the characters I make… I gave a pretty good depiction of the Uchiha Massacre, didn't I? I quoted the exact sentences used by Itachi and Fugaku and Sasuke in the manga, translated by the Inane group, which took a lot of time from me, but I persevered and I managed to do it, so I hope you will all be happy with this new chapter, which will deal with Orochimaru leaving Akatsuki. I hope that there will be a lot of people able to make sure that there will be reviews, since I like getting them…

Otogakure
----
The blood was slowly dripping off the wall where the body lay, looking at him with the glassy eyes. Orochimaru sighed softly, looking at the corpse of a shinobi from Kumogakure who had been sent to get some documents from a shinobi which had been deemed to carry plans from their village. But had found his end by Orochimaru's hand instead, Deidara being the one who had stolen the plans, since they would be striking in Kumogakure in a few weeks and needed to know the layout. Orochimaru looked at Deidara and asked.
"What do you think we'll have for dinner now? I want some sushi so…"
Deidara looked at Orochimaru with a grin on his face and said. "Why don't we make sushi out of Kisame? He looks fishy enough…" At that the two men laughed and decided not to make mention of that to Kisame, since Yugito had nicknamed the man as sushi ever since he had joined Akatsuki, which had been three months ago.
"Well, he shouldn't have called her a little brat then…"
Orochimaru said and remembered how Yugito had kicked Kisame in the crotch, causing the man to whimper, as she had enhanced her knee with chakra, thus giving a lot more power behind it, causing the fishlike man to fall to his knees and just lie there for five minutes, feeling very much pain in that area as she stood above him and told him that he was a paedophile and a little girl rapist, something which caused all the Akatsuki members to look at Orochimaru, who had a sweat drop on the back of his head at the language which his daughter employed… he really hadn't known she could be having such a potty mouth.
"YOU DIRTY LITTLE FAGGOT! YOU MOTHER RAPIST! YOU MASOCHISTIC LITTLE SHITTING BASTARD!"
Yugito was busy ranting at the fish person and threatening to turn him into sushi the moment he left his back unguarded, lifting the Samehada up from the ground without even getting a scratch on her hands, Kisame gaped and said.
"You… can't lift my sword, it would burn anyone who touches it except me…"
"THEN I AM THE OTHER ONE WHO CAN, SUSHI!" She screamed and brought it down, the ground shattering where it hit, close to Kisame's family jewels. The man paled as she lifted the sword once again and then pushed it into the ground and looked at him with his eyes seemingly ablaze with fire. "NEVER INSULT ME AGAIN OR I WILL CUT YOUR BALLS OFF AND FEED THEM TO YOU, THEN SLOWLY INSERT A BOTTLE OF SAKE INTO THAT TIGHT ASSHOLE OF YOUR AND THEN LIGHT IT!"
Orochimaru applauded and said: "Try it with cooking sake, it works better to ignite and will explode harder then normal sake… You are NOT touching my expensive sake."
She looked at him and said. "But tousan…"
"No but's, young lady. No torture sessions for you this week. And don't expect to be able to help with my experiments too. Now apologize to Sushi-san…. Err… Kisame-san."
That made some of the member's chuckle and Yugito went over to kisame, looking at him and then bowing and saying.
"I apologise Sushi-san. It was rude of me to call you names…"
Kisame just groaned in pain and Orochimaru grabbed Yugito by the waist and slung her over his shoulder and said. "Come, let's get you to Mikoto-san." She protested a bit but he didn't really listen, just threw her towards Mikoto and said. "Entertain her for me please… she's bothering us at the meeting."
Orochimaru's voice held some mirth within it and Mikoto smiled softly and said. "Yugito-chan, would you like to help me make a few more explosive tags for Orochimaru-san?"
The girl nodded enthusiastically, looking at Mikoto with a great deal of excitement brimming within her, a testament to the power of youth.
In Konoha, Gai sneezed loud enough to wake up Mitarashi Anko, who soundly beat him into the ground, the screams of agony being enough to frighten away most of the shinobi from the fight, which ended in a hospitalised Gai and Anko walking away, laughing like a lunatic…
Orochimaru remembered Itachi's test very well, since he had borne witness to it, being one of the examiners…before he had left Akatsuki.
Itachi had stood in a circle in the forest, the members standing around him in a circle. "Uchiha Itachi, do you want to gain a position amongst us, the Akatsuki?" He nodded, looking at the leader, who nodded solemnly, or what appeared to be that. "Then get ready for the test. You will be faced by our members in combat, and you will have to survive up to one hour of combat to gain a position amongst us. Fail and you will die…"
Itachi nodded and asked when the test was starting. "Now…" Was the only thing that the leader said before a hail of kunai and shuriken was thrown at him by the members.
He dodged them by jumping up into the air and immediately evading a huge scythe, belonging to Hidan and then punched Kakuzu in the gut, moving away instantly to avoid a barrage of needles thrown by Zetsu.
He weaved through the forest, evading shuriken, kunai and the odd sword thrown at him, by use of his sharingan to make sure that he spotted the body movements of the members. He evaded a Raiton jutsu with ease as he saw the leader move towards him, the jutsu having come form the leader's hand seals, another attack coming from Kakuzu, a punch which was evaded and a kunai being used to stab the muscles in the hand to disable it for some time, which seemed to be effective as the man swore quite loudly at the pain.
He grinned at the man and then ducked underneath one of Deidara's clay birds, which exploded with a grand explosion, uprooted a few trees because of the blast, but Itachi had dodged it unscathed.
Orochimaru was a bit surprised that they still couldn't damage Itachi, though he attributed it to the other members getting warmed up for combat… after all, one thirteen year old couldn't beat them when they all ganged up on him, right?
Apparently not, as Orochimaru looked at Itachi after a small brawl with Kakuzu and he sighed deeply, choosing to get involved personally. He pressed the attack, wanting to make sure that Itachi was taken down swiftly, seeing this as a good training exercise. He looked at Itachi, with his eyes not revealing the Sharingan, though he didn't need it. He looked into the Mangekyou Sharingan in Itachi's eyes and grinned and a feral look came over him and with a quick hand seal, he detonated all the tags that he had placed in the surrounding area, making the ground shake with the detonation of over 200 tags, making a huge stretch of the forest become a blazing ball of fire.
He looked at the devastation to see the rest of the Akatsuki members crawl out from the debris, their clothes nearly singed away, revealing how the leader looked like, the cloak and other things being incinerated/blown apart. Orochimaru's clothing was a bit ruffled, but had withstood the blast of fire, debris and other things.
He looked at the young man with a grin on his face and said. "Did you like the big bang, Itachi-kun? Those were 200 exploding tags, hidden in the area which I did within about 3 seconds… My tribute to Deidara-kun."
The blonde man looked at Orochimaru and clapped politely. "Nice, but a warning would suffice the next time."
"MY PUPPETS!"
Sasori's cry rent the air and Orochimaru smiled softly and said. "Gomen ne Sasori-kun, I didn't mean to break them…"
The puppeteer muttered some curses under his breath and then turned his attention towards possibly repairing the puppets. He looked at the springs and the gears and then decided that they were still intact.
Orochimaru's eyebrows went up as he spotted the leader limping towards the tree-line, a good amount of skin visible, revealing some skimpy lingerie, the curves of the body suggesting that it was a female…
The hair colouration seemed to be a brownish orange, making him wonder from where she was from and then decided to take over the job of announcing that Itachi was a member of the Akatsuki now as he watched her limp into the tree line, disappearing into the foliage, and not until he could sense that something was in his pocket he was actually thinking about just declaring Itachi a member.
He got the thing from his pocket, which appeared to be a folded note and then read it, it saying that he was to declare Itachi a member while the leader got new clothing and meet up at the headquarters to pick a new place of hiding…
"Itachi-kun, to my great pleasure and joy, you have been selected to become one of the few that are with us, a membership of Akatsuki is extended towards you by the power invested in me by the leader. You accept?" Itachi nodded and Orochimaru got his cloak off his shoulders and handed it to Itachi and said. "May you wear your cloak with pride and joy, and may your way carry you with fortune and happiness, like mine never did." Without anyone getting what he had said, Orochimaru moved towards the base, just in time to see the leader slip inside and continue the trek towards her rooms. He caught up with her while she was just about to step into her room and pulled on her arm. "You are a female…" He said, looking at her and she looked back at him and said. "So what? Woman can be strong too…"
Orochimaru smiled and said. "Sure, but why do you let others think you are a male? It creates a certain image of you which most people will believe, and when you are a female to them, you won't drop in image if they know that you are female. It can come as a shock to people that they are being led by a woman when they were thinking their leader was a man."
She nodded and Orochimaru continued. "I want to leave Akatsuki for a few years… I have the intention of making my own village to try and topple Konoha, so please don't attack me…"
She nodded and said. "Do you require one of our cloaks, should you be ready to rejoin us?"
He nodded and said. "Yugito and I will go now, and we'll be somewhere where we might have a good infrastructure to build the village."
She nodded and said. "Orochimaru-kun… I like you a lot… you may be a cold and serpentine bastard, but you genuinely care for Yugito-chan and that is what attracts me to you…"
He smiled softly and said. "Well, I have to admit that lately, the only thing girls seem to do with me is cuddle… but I'll take my leave, leader-sama."
"Call me Yoko."
She said before heading into her room. Orochimaru smiled once again and then muttered. "Goodbye Yoko-chan." He turned on his heel and went to get Yugito. He found her playing with a kunai while idly studying a scroll about a kinjutsu which involved corpses. Orochimaru grinned and said. "Yugito-chan, we are leaving now. I quit my membership of the Akatsuki and we'll need to go to a place where I can build my own village…"
She nodded and in a few moments, the room was stripped of everything that belonged to them and Orochimaru was busy finishing the chain of seals which would seal the items into a scroll. The jutsu was completed fast and he went outside with Yugito, who wore a travelling cloak, since she would be travelling with him this time, and he didn't know when it would end.
He bade goodbye to Itachi and Mikoto, saying he quit Akatsuki and that he wished Itachi well. Itachi, in a rare display of emotions actually let a tear fall as he looked at his adopted father disappearing after Mikoto had hugged the man goodbye and Itachi simply had bowed and wished his Otousan well.
------------
Orochimaru was busy making some sort of jutsu while Yugito was scouting the area, looking for a road which was well paved and would have some travellers on it, and if possible a village along one of those roads.
Orochimaru didn't have to think much before he finished his newest Kinjutsu improvement: the Edo Tensei, which would be able to resurrect a person to serve him, preferably one of the strongest people, though one needed to have a living sacrifice for the summoning. He looked at Yugito who looked happy as she landed in front of him, kicking up quite a bit of dust in the process, making him look at her and she smiled and said.
"Tousan, I found a nice village for us to settle in. its pretty large, has a blacksmith, an inn, a good clothing shop which could be made into shinobi clothing shop and a pretty solid infrastructure. "
Oorchimaru grinned at her and said. "Let's convince the population to form the village and we'll be done…"
Three quarter of an hour later, they were in the village, which was a pretty wealthy village or a small city in the eastern corner of the Fire country and he grinned and knocked on the door of the town hall, hoping to see the mayor about a change of ownership of his city.
"What are you doing here, stranger-san? The mayor won't receive anyone who hasn't asked permiss-"
Snakes slithered out from Yugito's short shirt and bit the woman in the neck, killing her slowly by cutting off the air supply and she fell to the floor with a crash, as she bumped into her desk and knocked over several vases which looked to be expensive and Oorochimaru grinned with a rather disturbing grin and said.
"Very well Yugito-chan… Next time, try biting them in the arms rather then the throat… She might have done well as a hostage in another situation… "
She nodded and Orochimaru simply blasted the door away with a katon jutsu, the smoking remains being strewn across the room, leaving the mayor to look at the serpentine man who entered with his yellow eyes looking at the man and said.
"Would you agree with me if I turned this village into a hidden village, of which I will be the leader?"
The mayor was overwhelmed with seeing the traitorous serpent sannin, but gears began to turn in the man's mind. Surviving would be paramount in this situation. The serpent sannin had a reputation for being psychotic and it might cost him his life if he provoked the man.
"Hai, Orochimaru-sama. The village is yours to do as you please with."
Orochimaru grinned and said. "Very well, so we understand each other… my subordinates will be here within three weeks maximum, with enough materials to build a wall to protect the village with, while some of the buildings will be used to train shinobi in, leading this village into a new time of prosperity. By the way, do you have a house I might be able to use while waiting for my men?"
The question was immediately answered by the mayor getting up and looked at him, before nodding and saying.
"I'll ask if they would give you the best suite in the inn of the village. Give me a few moments to get it all done…"
Yugito looked at the man as he moved, his thin body moving remarkable fast and she watched as he walked out of the door, Orochimaru and her following the man towards the Inn. She garnered some curious looks from the villagers, but Orochimaru grabbed her hand and held it, giving the impression that she was with him, perhaps as a daughter or something… like a lover…
"Give them the best suite in the Inn. This man will make our village a new power in the world."
The mayor used those words and Orochimaru smiled grimly at the innkeeper, a woman in her early forties with purplish hair who looked at him curiously and he bowed to her and said.
"My name is Orochimaru, pleased to meet you Manager-san."
The woman had black hair, which was short and well kept. She wore a red kimono which fitted well to her curves, making it look very pretty on her. She had red eyes, which could be through the drinking of red wine or through the making of long hours or it could simply be her own natural eye-colour. Her face was well sculpted, with a good amount of beauty added to it.
The woman nodded slowly and said. "My name is Kaede. Pleased to meet you Orochimaru-san." She bowed after that and Orochimaru smiled and noticed Yugito-chan. "And who might you be?"
Yugito looked at the woman and shyly said. "My name is Yugito… Orochimaru-sama took me with him because my old village wanted nothing to do with me…"
The woman's eyes softened a bit and she smiled and said. "Why don't I get you two to the room that Mayor-sama talked about? You will be able to be rest there for a bit…"
The woman was friendly to tell them that if they ever needed anything, that they just come to her and she would try to get whatever they needed, be it comfort or new blankets or something else. She winked at Orochimaru when she said that, after having asked him how old he was and with him replying that he was 48, which seemingly made her very attentive to him…
"Did your wife pass away?"
She asked and he looked at her and then sighed. "No, I didn't marry, I just met Yugito when she was about to get raped by some Jounin prick…"
His face hardened and he grit his teeth at the memory, which made Kaede frown too. "What age was she?"
"Nine."
She looked with disdain at the ground and said. "I suppose you killed the man?"
He nodded and said. "The blood probably is still seen in that room…" He chuckled in a disturbing way and he looked at Kaede to see her looking at him with a look which was slightly pitying and he said. "She got over it pretty fast because I simply loved her… she's about to turn 20 in a few weeks, I think…"
"Shall I prepare some things for a small party?"
Orochimaru shook his head and said. "We almost never celebrate parties. I've never celebrated my own birthday, and I don't really recall her precise birthday, only that it is sometime around this month. She never was really interested in parties and such, preferring to spend time with me on some days…"
Kaede nodded and said. "I was a shinobi once too… I've seen you in class a few times, but you graduated so fast that I lost track of you. I had a crush on you while we were in the same academy class, but you graduated so fast I could never act on my feelings. I got married to a guy I met at a party, he knocked me up and half a year later, my daughter Kurenai was born."
Orochimaru nodded, shinobi married very early and he said. "I take it that your husband died?"
She nodded and said; "I didn't want to live in Konoha anymore, so I chose a village near the border to begin a new life with money I had been saving. He had given me all of his money in his will and I gave the house to my daughter to live in. She's a Chuunin at the moment and comes to visit me from time to time. I think she's due to come in a month or so…"
Orochimaru nodded and just hoped that she wouldn't reveal too much about his village, which he decided to name Otogakure, making the land around it Oto no kuni.
When everything seemed to be coming out alright, he visited Kaede one evening, having gotten a small bouquet of flowers in the hand as a gift for the woman. He was no longer staying in the inn, but in a specially designed house, which was located for the largest part underground, Doton Jutsu being enough to create it, a special type of doton jutsu to reinforce the ground and then just some cement and everything was ready.
He knocked on the door a few times and then handed the bouquet to Kaede, who accepted it with surprise in her voice. "Orochimaru-kun… please come in."
He bowed to her and then followed her in to a room where another person was currently seated on a table, looking up to see the new arrival. Orochimaru looked to be a bit ghastly and once his eyes met the eyes of the red eyed kunoichi, she trembled and Kaede asked Orochimaru to take a seat next to her daughter, while seemingly not noticing the stunned reaction of her daughter to the man.
Orochimaru seated himself and allowed a smile to come on his face and said. "Anything special you've done lately, Kaede-chan?"
The woman smiled softly and said. "Nothing special, Orochimaru-kun. This is my daughter, Yuuhi Kurenai. Kurenai, this is Orochimaru, the man who I have told you about in my letters. He's going to be recruiting some of the young ones in the village to help him with something important getting built, something about construction, right?"
Orochimaru nodded and said. "Well, something like a research laboratory. Currently I am busy developing a variant of my fuuin sealing mechanisms to see and test if I can seal something within myself which has been quite a nuisance lately."
Kurenai was still sitting there, looking at the pale and serpentine man who her mother had called Orochimaru-kun, like they had a history together.
"You know of my reputation right?"
He asked Kurenai, who looked at him with eyes which shone with something he could identify as accepting the hopeless situation. "Hai, Orochimaru: an S Ranked Nukenin, a previous member of the Sannin of Konoha, one of the most prodigal children to go through the Academy ranks. You are considered to be one of the best ninjutsu users in the world, though your genjutsu is also impressive. There is no way that I'd be able to win from you, just because you still have your snake summons to kill me, even though I could manage to escape."
She looked pretty hopeless and Orochimaru decided to make sure that there would be something of a life line for her.
"I like your mother, Kurenai-chan, so I'll spare you… but you would need to do something in return for me."
She looked at the man who smiled softly at her defeated posture and said. "Become one of my informants into the village of Konohagakure… or actually, I don't want you to mention anything about me being here and building a new lab, since that would only attract the attention of my old sensei. Do you understand?" She nodded and he smiled softly.
Orochimaru smiled softly, he had mastered a hypnotising trancelike voice, which would allow him to subtly influence the person he was speaking to, amplifying the magic within his body to make the person believe that they aigned themselves with his ideas. He looked at the girl and said.
"Since there will be a few more weeks before everytjhing will be ready, I want you to stay here with your mother, and just have a nice time. If you want to, I can teach you a few useful genjutsu, though they are frowned upon since theywill do horrible things to the user's mind as well, though it is advised you only do them in a life and death situation, right?"
She nodded and he smiled softly and began to tell her some of the basics of one of the genjutsu which he'd made a few years ago: Illusions from the shattered mind, which caused the target to go insane as images were buried into the target's mind, causing him to see everyone as a target and go into a berserker rage, though it was only useful when the target was in a huge group of enemies… the only drawback to it was that the user needed to have a bit of an unstable mind, but that could also be acquired through some of the most rigorous training.
Three weeks later, Kurenai had gone back to Konoha, with the promise that she would be able to visit her mother soon enough and Orochimaru smiled softly at Kaede as she looked at the building site, to which a building would rise where shinobi would be trained.
He had acquired a few young nukenin amongst the way, the youngsters having been attracted to his fame of being one of the bigger powers in the world and they were now being trained to become his elite guard. For the moment, he hadn't decided yet to mark them, since the time to do that would come eventually, and he grinned as he looked at them as they trained. A young boy named Kaguya Kimimarou had joined him once Orochimaru had freed him from the prison he was being held in and immediately put him to use as a good body guard.
He began to pick up the sealing techniques once again and branded every one of the guards with a cursed seal, which he would be able to evolve to the second level. Sakon and Ukon fused together by accident, though it was useful in its own way, since there seemed to be a technique available to them now that would have been very hard to on himself, to kill the enemy by fusing a body part to them and then killing them with it.
Orochimaru looked at the folder in front of him and smiled grimly at the contents, which was about Uchiha Sasuke. To keep up a good plan, he would have to act like he had found a new way to get younger, not that he needed it since he still looked like 19… butt to keep up appearances. He had researched and found a way to transfer his mind to another body, so he decided to try it out for a moment, locking eyes with a woman in his path and feeling his spirit move out of his body, the woman's spirit being pushed out into oblivion. He stretched his fingers, now aware of his new appendages in the front and she cackled an insane laugh, the technique awakening enough of Orochi within Orochimaru that the latter actually began to think like a demon, doing the name of Demon Serpent right.
That was the moment that he looked at his body, which had collapsed in a heap and he swung it over his shoulder, looting it for the shinobi instruments, the feeling of the new body still a bit odd.
She would still care for her daughter, but was now consumed with her vengeance against Konoha, Orochi making Orochimaru act this way the female body allowing Orochimaru the access to Orochi's power, but with a limit on it, or else the seal would break and he would be sucked into a void, with Orochi returning to the living world.
The world would sink into Darkness if Orochimaru released Orochi… but so would it when she would rule…

Harry/ Orochimaru is now in a female body, and thus shall be named a she or a he, depending on if he has a henge on or not. His body will be perfectly preserved for use when having a traumatic event happening…
