Snake Lords
"Takes place around when Naruto comes back with Jiriya. Sasuke is still with Orochimaru. So yeah, they're all around 15 or 16. A Naruto and Harry Potter Crossover. I'm not sticking to the plots of either series."
Thinking
"Yelling"
Dragon Man 180: I didn't add Sasuke to the abuse list because oh don't worry, he'll be abused, just not in a funny way. On the last chapter, what I meant by character abuse was you know, funny, stupid things. Sasuke, I'm gonna be pretty mean to him. MUHAHAHAH! Ahem… yeah… I also like your ideas on glaring, I'll probably use them later (MEGA HINT!)
HoukiboshiHikari: Don't worry, I won't kill you, (hides chainsaw behind back) but I will now spell it: Kankurou. And if you want to debate upon how to spell his name any more, (hints to the chainsaw behind back with evil eyes) Okie dokey? And I'm sorry, SasuSaku will be a pairing, just not as big as the rest. It'll be a side pairing that comes along, WAY later in the story. I have no idea if Deidara is a girl or not and I'm waiting for the translation of the 278th chapter, I refuse to wait much longer cause I wanna know if Gaara's ok! He better be or I'm sueing. Seriously.
On with the story!
Chpt 5: The Somewhat Normal Training Session and the First Few Classes
"My God, I thought he would just go on talking forever. Now we can finally train!" Said Naruto. They all met on the school grounds. Peering at their maps, they saw a section marked saying "training grounds".
"You have got to be kidding me! We have to walk all the way there? Why can't we use Chakra?" groaned Shikamaru.
"You know perfectly well why we can't use Chakra Shikamaru!" Everyone yelled.
"More moving and less talking people." Grumbled Neji, who was very peeved at being given such a small training slot. With that, they all started running at top speed, with no Chakra.
…………………………
"Are we there yet?" whined Shikamaru.
"FOR THE LAST TIME, NO!" everyone yelled back. He had been asking that for the last ten minutes.
"Oh. My. God. He's kidding right? RIGHT?" gasped Neji.
"What Neji nii-san?" asked Hinata, then immediately, her jaw dropped to the ground too.
"Not you too Hinata, what is it!" asked Naruto. Then they all saw it, a small shack with the words: Konoha Transport, engraved upon it, it was no larger than a small elevator.
"Wait guys, look, there's a note." Said Ino. "Dear Konoha Shinobi," Ino began, "this is the transport that will bring you to your training grounds. To get to the grounds, three people may fit in the transport at a time, and place your hands inside the glowing sphere in the center. The sphere is a special spell I have created that reads your DNA. When you have been confirmed, please sit on the chairs and wait while you are brought to your training grounds. When the light becomes green on the outside," Ino said pointing to a small bulb on the door, "That means the car has returned and the next group of three may enter. I hope it's to your liking.
Dumbledore"
"Well thank goodness. I thought we'd have to train in a closet." Sighed Tenten. "Now, I suggest we just go in by squads to make things simple."(A.N: You know, team Kurenai, Gai, you get it). "We'll go first then." Since no-one else looked like they wanted to volunteer to go.
Neji, Ten-ten, and Lee entered the closet, to find the inside walls a metallic black color. The sphere floating in the middle of the room looked like a ball of swarming green electricity.
"IT'S GREEN! MY FAVORITE!" screamed Lee. Neji and Ten-ten were having a tough time restraining the over-enthusiastic lunatic from lunging headfirst into the swirling orb.
"You're only supposed to touch it with one hand stupid." Grunted Neji, whose shoes were already starting to smoke from the amount of friction they were getting from being dragged along the floor. Reluctantly, Lee placed only one hand inside the orb. The other two also placed their hands into the DNA scanner.
Then the room pinged and several seats sprung out of the back wall. As soon as they sat down, straps came out of nowhere and wrapped them in securely. The orb then tuned red and the transport started to move down. Then it started gaining speed.
"YEY! IT'S JUST LIKE A CARNIVAL RIDE!" Lee shouted, his hair shooting up. Ten-ten and Neji looked absolutely petrified and were holding onto each other for dear life. Then, just as quickly as it started, it stopped.
"WASN'T THAT FUN GUYS! Umm… guys?" Lee said looking at them strangely. They were still holding onto each other. They hurriedly let go of each other, a slight red rising to their faces, and walked to the door, Lee being in the middle of the two, each of them trying to hide their expressions from each other. Ten-ten looking absolutely flustered and spazy, while Neji was looking just plain annoyed.
The door opened revealing a giant, underground forest with a large clearing in the center surrounding the shaft. The giant transport shaft disappeared into the Earth upwards. It was almost completely dark and very quiet. (A.N: Duhh, they're underground. It's gonna be dark.) The forest seemed to go on forever.
"It's perfect." Neji said, "It resembles Konoha's forests so well, it's scary." The shaft door shut and you could hear it zoom back up to the top. A few minutes later, you could hear a girly scream which could only belong to Kankurou and the ding of the door as it opened. The sand siblings looked mortified, and Gaara's sand was splattered all over the walls, having fallen out of the gourd. Gathering back the sand, Gaara and the other two came out and waited until the rest of the ninja's arrived.
The last to come out of the shaft was Sakura and Naruto. Naruto was crying on Sakura's shoulder, sobbing on and on about how scary the fall down was. You could tell Sakura was talking to her inner self by the face she was making.
"Well lets get going people, we only have 45 minutes left!" complained Neji. With that, they all broke up into their usual groups and started training.
Team Gai
"NEJI! I CALLENGE YOU TO A MATCH!" yelled Lee.
"Fine, fine, whatever makes you shut up faster." Neji sighed. And with that, the two began their 'match'. Meanwhile, Ten-ten had set up so many targets, it was hard to see the trees, but her mind wasn't really on it. Her mind was elsewhere.
Neji POV
You know, Neji thought, something seems to be wrong with Ten-ten today, it's like she's troubled by something… Aww nuts… Neji narrowly dodged a kick from Lee I should concentrate on what I'm doing. I might as well finish this quickly, this is getting tedious. Neji then started to get into his Jyuuken stance so he could get this over with.
Normal POV
"You do know you've already missed three targets Ten-ten." Neji whispered into her ear.
"EEEK!" Ten-ten had been so zoned out that she didn't notice Neji coming up behind her, so on instinct, she threw several kunais behind her, pinning Neji to a nearby tree.
"What was that for?" huffed Neji.
"Oh geez, um… sorry Neji, I-I didn't notice it was you and, oh dear I'm sorry!" She went over and started to yank the kunais out of Neji's clothes, which was rather hard because they had become wedged into the tree bark.
"What's wrong with you today Ten-ten? I mean, you're acting all weird, for one, you're jumpy, two, you didn't notice me which means you were completely zoned out, three, you keep blushing which I thought was impossible for you, but, I can be wrong."
"I… I do not blush Neji!" Ten-ten said turning her back on him.
"Then why are you doing it now?"
"Just for once, could you not use your Byakugan?"
"If you could just tell me what's wrong Ten-ten I could try to help…"
"No! I'm fine Neji… I've just had a lot of stuff to think about today…"
"Ok, fine, but could you please get me out of the tree before you zone out again?" asked Neji. Ten-ten turned back and started to wrench out the rest of the kunais still embedded in his shirt.
"Thanks, you know, I think it's around 9, we should gather everyone up and start to head out to our first class… what was it again?" asked Ten-ten.
"I think our first class is, oh, let me see… oh yeah, Transfiguration… what is transfiguration?"
"I haven't the faintest clue Neji, not one…" After several more minutes of pulling Neji out of the tree, the two went off to collect the rest of the group.
…………………………
Everyone had taken their dear sweet time trying to get to Transfiguration. Apparently, Naruto had been holding the map upside-down and they ended up on the wrong side of the building. Breathless, they all entered the classroom (A.N: Oh yeah, they're back in their robes now. When they were training, they were in their normal clothes.)
"Now now, we don't have all day, please sit down class." Professor McGonagall had just entered the room.
"This is Transfiguration class, I expect you all to listen to me closely, I want no nonsense, this is some of the most dangerous magic you will learn in this school, anyone messing around won't be coming back." She then went on and on about different things for a very long time. "I also don't want any eating in class Chouji." She said narrowing her eyes at the bag of chips that were clenched in Chouji's hand. Grumbling, Chouji regretfully stuffed his chips back into his schoolbag.
"Now, today we'll start off with something extremely simple, Please turn the match in front of you, into a needle. I will write the incantation on the board." Everyone picked up their wand and started to try out the spell. Naruto's match exploded into flame, Sakura's just kind of rolled over, Hinata's and Kiba's started to fight each other, Shino's got fatter, Chouji was sneaking chips and hadn't even tried, Ino was poking the match expecting it to blow up like Naruto's did, Neji's melted, Ten-ten's resembled a senbon, Gaara's was trying to poke through the table, and Temari's and Kankurou's hadn't even done anything.
"MCGONAGALL-SENSEI! I DID IT!" Lee's and Shikamaru's had turned into perfectly formed needles.
"Please Lee… just Professor McGonagall, I know you're from Japan, but no 'sensei' please. All right, good work you two. I will give you your next assignment and I want you to show it to me tomorrow. Everyone else, I want you to be able to transfigure it into a needle by tomorrow. Dismissed."
"How did you guys get it so easily?" They were all walking towards their next class, Charms. Everyone wanted advice on how to do magic correctly.
"Well I tried to find that other side of Chakra, and I felt it, It's like a weird fuzzy feeling, I took that and poured it into the wand. Then, you control it to go do what you want outside the wand. The wand is almost like a pointer, you point where you want the 'magic energy' to go, then control it like you normally Chakra, in this case, I made that energy transform the wood into pure metal, it just takes a lot of mental control." Explained Shikamaru.
Then everyone nodded their head in unison showing they understood.
"I just hope we do better in Charms…" said Naruto.
In Charms, Professor Flitwick was teaching them several simple charms. The first was the levitation charm, which surprisingly, everyone got without too much difficulty, however, the Alohamora was proving very difficult, even for Shikamaru and Lee to get, most of the time, the door either stayed locked, or the gears burst. Either way, everyone had a lot of trouble with it.
Charms had finally ended, and their next class was Herbology. Professor Sprout had them skin Barklings, they looked like little wooden dogs that grew out of a tree trunk. Their bark was used in various, valuable substances and their bite was much worse than their bark. Kiba, since he thought he was good with dogs, tried making friends with one. He forgot that these were magical plants and not actual dogs, and ended up with one dangling off his nose drawing out a lot of blood. He spent the rest of class being bandaged up by Professor Sprout and everyone laughing at him behind his back.
When Herbology ended, they had History of Magic. This was by far, the stupidest, most uninteresting class of all time. Naruto was going insane from that horrible droning voice Professor Binns had and started throwing things at him behind his back. He forgot he was a ghost so he immediately got bored of seeing objects go through him and passed out from boredom. Kiba, Ten-ten, Neji, Kankurou, Temari, Lee, Ino, and Shikamaru passed out all at the same time a few minutes later after Naruto had.
Then Professor Binns finally dismissed them not noticing that half of them were drooling all over the desks and the other half were drawing or writing something completely random about ways to shut Prof. Binns up.
Neji's very short Dream
No… no… NOO! Get away from me Godlet the bad, or whatever your stupid name is. You're even worse than Lee when it comes to talking! Huh…?
Neji's POV
Oh, I guess I fell asleep, apparently, so did everyone else. Hey what's that warm stuff dripping down my shoulders? Eeww. Drool… What the heck? OH NASTY! THAT'S TEN-TEN'S DROOL! Why did she have to fall asleep on MY shoulder?
Neji then promptly whacked Ten-ten's forehead really hard.
"Oww… what was that for Neji?" Ten-ten groaned. She was having a nice dream too.
"Let's go sleepy head. It's time to go. Oh, next class, please don't water me." Neji said pointing to his shoulder. "I'm not a plant." Ten-ten grinned sheepishly.
Normal POV
Everyone sleepwalked out of Binns class and headed outside for Care of Magical Creatures.
"Lemme guess, yeh lot jes had History of Magic right?" The giant gamekeeper asked with a crinkly smile on his face. They all nodded. "Well that's allright! Now Care 'o Magical Creatures teaches yeh how to, obviously, deal with magical creatures. Fer starters, today, I though we could start off with some fire beetles," he said holding up a jet black bug about the size of their palms that had a crimson red stripe down it's back (A.N: Obviously, Hagrid has bigger hands then them.) "Now, yeh all have te be careful, these critters shoot flames out their ends. The first step I want yeh to do is to make a bond with it."
"Excuse me Hagrid, but did you just say bond with it? Like being it's friend?" asked Gaara.
"Yep, that's exactly what I mean. In this case, if you earn friendship with a fire beetle, it will be your pal fer life. It's very easy to earn its trust. Yeh just have to coax it out of the crate, be friendly, an' just try not to get burnt in the process."
With that last statement, Hagrid opened a giant crate revealing a huge amount of fire beetles. Immidiately, everyone but Shino went forward to try and catch one. Oh dear, that was a mistake. Everyone got burnt to a crisp badly (A.N: Shino of course was fine. Gaara however was made to leave his gourd behind as it was rather obvious so he got burnt too.) They were all running around in circles screaming until Hagrid poured a rain barrel over the lot of them.
"Didn't I tell yeh to be careful? Geez, are yeh all deaf?"
"Wow! That was fun! Lets do it again!" The rain barrel had landed on Kankurou, knocking him silly, for the second time today. He immediately started running after the fire beetles, then off-screen, there was a blood-curdling cry, and then, the giant smoldering pile of Kankurou started to scooch around with lots of fire beetles, shooting flames, chasing him.
"AHHH! NOT FUN! NOT FUN!" Yet again, another rain barrel was poured, only on Kankurou this time, putting him out and driving the beetles away. During the mayhem, Shino used this to his advantage. He quickly sent out several bugs to one of the beetles with a message. The fire beetle immediately took a liking to Shino, and flapped over and landed on his arm, and there we have it, bug-boy has a new friend.
"Well done Shino, well done indeed. Yeh definitely show some real promise la' everyone else, next time, please pay attention or the consequences could be worse." Said Hagrid.
"How much worse could it get than 3rd degree burns?" Asked Kiba.
"Well, there's mauling, blood sucking, life leaching, decapitation…"
While Hagrid continued his lovely story about what magical animals could do to you, everyone just kind of walked off without him noticing. Their next class was Potions with that funny looking guy Snape. Not one of them liked him at all from their first impression.
…………………………
They all filed downstairs into the dungeon where Potions was held.
"Ooohh! Look at this!" Naruto had picked up a bottle with what looked like a cross between a brain, and a stomach.
"Don't touch that, fool." Snape had only just arrived himself. "Don't you think that you're a bit old for playing with things that aren't yours?"
"Nope." Naruto replied cheekily. With that stupid remark, he was grabbed by the ear, and dragged onto a seat.
"Please sit down, everyone." Snape said with a sneer. "In my class, I will instruct you in the art of potion making. There will be almost no wand use here. So take out your equipment and we will begin. But first, you will be taking a mini-quiz to see what you 'geniuses' already know." He said sarcastically. While passing out papers, all of them exchanged worried glances. They had no idea what the heck any of this stuff was. Honestly, how would they know what an 'infusion of wormwood' is?"
They all looked at their papers blankly. Hmm… a combined mixture of asphoden and a gergan's pelt makes, A) a sleeping drought that erases memories. B) A cure for the common cold. C) A mixture that easily absorbs into severe flesh wounds. or, D) A polyjuice potion. Riiight…
Sakura's POV
Hey… I know this stuff. This is exactly what Tsunade taught me! I already know number one is obviously C, and number 2 is A, man, this is so simple!
Normal POV
"All right, time's up hand in your papers. Let's see…" Snape said brushing over the papers. "No answers, No answers, No answers, oh yes, No answers, that's a new one. And…" Snape froze. These are all correct. Well at least they aren't all stupid. It will make my life much easier. "We actually have a 100. That's just lovely. Now, for practice, since you all seem to be miserable failures at Potions so far…"
"EXCUSE ME? ARE YOU CALLING ME A FAILURE? NO ONE CALLS ME A FAILURE AND LIVES!" Naruto yelled out.
"I will call you whatever I want, stupid, and do you already want detention even though the school year hasn't even started yet? Because I will be happy to give it to you." Sakura put Naruto in a headlock before he could say anything else that would get him into trouble.
"Please open your textbooks to page 24 please. You will concoct potion number 13. The 'Enhancer'. It's a rather difficult potion that supercharges every cell in the body by 10-fold. You should be able to create this since you all are going into 6th year. But, I have learned in my life not to overestimate people, please begin now." Everyone stared at their textbooks as if it was written in Greek.
Naruto looked blankly over to Sakura, only to see that she was already on the third step and stirring a reddish-orange ooze in her cauldron.
"Wha.. how… how are you doing that? I don't even know what anything in this stupid book is!" stammered Naruto.
"Sshh. I'm busy ask me later." Sakura whispered back.
"Um… Professor Snape?" Asked Kankurou.
"What?"
"Is this essence of terod, or a shikerdens root?"
"You idiot, that's a blade of grass!" Snape said impatiently.
"Oh…" said Kankurou, throwing the grass on the floor and trying to find out if the root he was trying to cut was a Myrken's aron, a bekren, or a potato. After half an hour of trying to guess which ingredients were which, Snape announced that time was up and he would be coming around to see the end products.
Garaa's was filled with a gelatinous slime that was giving off fumes that smelled like rotten eggs. Temari's looked like puke. Kankurou's was a brown bubbly liquid that reminded you of chicken soup. Neji's seemed to be just a lot of white-out. Tenten's had a metallic sheen and was developing a skin (A.N: You know, pudding skins.) Lee's looked like a marble green floor, and here Snape stopped.
"And just why did you add green food coloring Lee?" asked Snape.
"BECAUSE GREEN IS PRETTY AND IT'S MY FAVORITE COLOR!" exclaimed Lee. Snape continued observing, mumbling about Lee being a complete idiot. Hinata's looked like a big, quivering, blob of bread dough. Kiba's looked like dog crap. Shino's was a big black blob of nothing. Shikamaru hadn't even tried and his cauldron was empty. Chouji's was a golden yellow with an empty bag of chips floating around in it. Ino's was a light periwinkle that was pinging like Gai or Lee's teeth. Naruto' looked like nothing in particular. And Sakura's, well, was a perfect, misty, red color that swirled in a clockwise motion, and had little electric sparks jumping along the surface.
"Everyone here, except for Sakura, has made a complete, worthless pile of trash. If you look at her potion, it is, passable. If her's is fine, why are all of yours so lame? Sakura, you will show them how to make potions or I will never teach any of you again." Snape commanded. "Everyone, you are dismissed." Grumpily, everyone packed their bags and headed out.
"Why didn't you help us Sakura? I mean, come on, we didn't have a clue what we were doing!" Whined Naruto.
"Well I only know this stuff because the ingredients used, are the same ones that are used in the jutsus Tsunade-sama taught me. And if I told you guys, then I would get in trouble, I'll show you guys the different ingredients later in the common room tonight. We have to hurry up and get to Dumbledore's office for the Defense against the Dark Arts."
…………………………
"Why, hello everyone! How was your day so far?" Dumbledore had cleared a huge space in his office, presumably to practice some spellwork.
"Hmm… Overall, I'd say we did pretty poorly." Shikamaru said for all of them.
"Oh well. It was your first day you know. Now, today, I will be teaching you the shield charm. It is a charm that creates an invisible wall of energy, blocking some attacks. The incantation is: Protegoa. I will fire a small hex at you, and you must deflect it." They all filed out into a straight line and waited. In turn they all tried, and failed. For the rest of the time, the closest anyone got to the shield charm was a faint wisp in the air that quickly disappeared.
None of them could move because of the petrificus totalis spell, binding them completely, except for their eyes, which were glaring angrily at the ceiling.
"Ah well, you all did well for your first try. Now, you may go back to your rooms and get some well earned rest." Dumbledore congratulated them.
"MMMMHMM!" They all cried.
"Oh yes I'm sorry," Dumbledore quickly said a counter spell, releasing them from their frozen state.
"Itaii… my back is killing me!" moaned Naruto. He had landed in an awkward position and had been lying that way for the last 15 minutes. Since he wouldn't shut up, they had to drag along the floor, back to the common room.
"AKK! I've got rug-burn!" Yelled Naruto. His skin was very irritated and bright pink. He quickly ran to the bathroom turning on the cold water in the tub and jumped in. Then when he came out of the bathroom, he was only wearing a towel around his waist. Hinata turned bright red and almost passed out. And everyone else started throwing things at him, and yelling at him to go get dressed. When he came back, Sakura started her tedious explanation of potions ingredients.
…………………………
Well, thank you all for waiting so long for me to get this chapter up. Since I made you all wait so long, I made the chapter extra long. In the next chapter, it's the moment we've all been waiting for, the Hogwarts students arrive! Yey! Till then though!
