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."

Sorelina: I take no offense whatsoever! After all, constructive criticism is welcomed at all times! Bear in mind everyone! Your critiquing will help me become a better writer. Better writer better stories! However, it must be constructive. If it something completely pointless, it will not be appreciated. Anyways, I had a feeling that 'conedo' wasn't an actual Japanese word. To me though, the word had a nice sound to it, so I used it! (Wow… very primitive. 0.o)
I will keep in mind that Japanese words aren't plural and that technique jutsu. I also know that Shikamaru would be the one who would never act like that, so that's why I made him do it! He would have been calm, if not a little confused, in that kind situation. (I have seen every Naruto episode, and read all manga chappies up to 279. I know… serious case of Naruto obsession.)
You see, I have this weird fascination, yeah… that's the right word for it, fascination with making characters act really OOC. If you ask me why I like to do so… well… go ask someone else that cause I have no idea! But if you really don't like them OOC, I will stop right away and make them act how they would act normally. Remember, it's all the readers decision!
On with the story!
Chpt 12: Of Stubborness and, Green?
She was sent flying back into the small crowd of people behind her. The room became bathed in a blinding light. They all looked up to see Lee staring at them with his humungous eyes.
"Say… what happened? I feel all funny inside! And why are you all on the floor?"
…………………………
"Lee?" Ten-ten whispered. "LEE! YOU'RE ALRIGHT!" She jumped up and squeezed Lee in a giant hug. "I KNEW YOU'D BE OK! I KNEW IT!"
"MY YOUTHFUL FLAME SHALL NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED! I CAN SURVIVE THROUGH ANYTHING!" Ok, so that was one thing she hadn't missed. The youth speeches. They weren't so bad, but they get really old, really fast if they were incorporated into every. single. sentence.
Everyone tried to ignore Lee's speech, but it was hard since he was shouting it straight in their ears. Amanda had staggered up holding her arm which was all achy and numb feeling. Shikamaru, having been knocked back to his senses from the impact, decide to ask a few questions.
"Amanda, how did you do that?" She turned around with a sheepish grin.
"I honestly don't know."
"Well then, how did you know how to do it? We've beentrying to findout howfor a goodlong time now." She opened and closed her mouth like a fish, not knowing what to say. "And another thing..." He said. "How did you know that we needed that cure in the first place?" How was she going to get out of this one?
"Umm… I'm psychic!" It was pretty obvious by the looks she received that no one bought it. "Well, I guess you could also say that a metal birdie told me!"
"Metal birdie?"
"Well… yeah! You see… I looked at this paperclip right? And… it started talking to me about you guys. And how you had this sickness thingy…" As she continued her lame, and completely stupid story about a talking paperclip, everyone exchanged looks. Well, everyone but Lee, who was eagerly clinging to her every word about the mystical paperclip.
"And that's what it said!" They all glared at her with annoyed faces.
"You know… that was, first of all, illogical, stupid, and completely random. And secondly, what made you think that anyone would ever buy that? Well, anyone but him." Shikamaru pointed to Lee.
This time she was cornered. Just when she was about to spill the beans, Shikamaru answered for her.
"You know… we could've done this the easy way. Ino, do your stuff." Shikamaru had caught Amanda in his kagemane no jutsu while she wasn't paying attemtion.
"You know, I thought I told you to never do that ever again! WAIT! NO STOP! I'LL…" but it was too late. Ino held her hands up in a circle-ish shape after doing several hand seals.
"Shintenshin no Jutsu." Hinata caught Ino as she fell, while her spirit flew straight at Amanda.
…………………………
Ino talking
Amanda talking
…………………………
Hmm… lets see what's in your head.
Wait, you can read my thoughts and memories as well as take over my body?
Yup! And how did you know I took over your body?
Well, it's pretty obvious since I can't move and you're appearing in my thoughts. And guess what? There is no way on the face of this Earth you reading my mind Ino!
Says who?
Says me, myself and I!
You know, that's repetitive.
No… they're pronouns!
Not funny. Open up!
NO! NEVER! DON'T YOU DARE!
Too late!
…………………………
"Well… what did you find?" Everyone was curious as to what Ino found out. "Come on. Tell us!" Her face remained blank. "Uh… hello?"
She burst into laughter and started to pound the ground. "What's so funny?"
"L-llamas! Hahaha!" (A.N: If you've never heard the llama song, you will have no idea what I'm talking about.)
Phew! That was close. To stop Ino from reading my mind, I thought about the Llama Song nonstop. Why did Ihave to think about that though? It's the most annoying thing in the universe! Well,I'm just lucky she didn't have any more time to get farther into my head than that.
"You know, you didn't have to do that!" her breathing was hard from the shock of having somebody enter her body.
Shino sighed. "Ok then. We'll ask nicely. Will you please tell us now?"
"Well, since you asked nicely, IT'S STILL NO!"
"Fine then. It may be very troublesome, but how about we make an exchange?" If Ino couldn't even penetrate her mind, this was the only option that didn't include hurting her. "If you tell us all you know, we could show you some stuff." You could see her ears perk up.
"What kind of 'stuff' are you offering?"
"Well… what I mean by stuff is possibly, some ninjutsu or something close to that." Her mouth fell to the ground and her eyes were wide with surprise.
"You're just trying to get me to spill it, aren't you?" Shikamaru shook his head. "Well then, YEAH I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING!" Her face resembled one of a young child who just woke up on Christmas morning.
Ever since she had read even more of the Kentos Scriptures, she couldn't help but wonder how cool it would be to do that kind of stuff. Now, they were freely offering to teach her some of it! Way too good to be true!
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SHOW HER SOME NINJUTSU'? WE CAN'T DO THAT!" Naruto shouted at Shikamaru. "YOU'RE GOING TO LET HER TRAIN WITH US SHIKAMARU? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? ARE YOU STILL A GENIUS? OR HAVE YOU TURNED STUPID?" Naruto started to shake Shikamaru by the shoulders.
"Listen Naruto, if we don't, we won't get any further information on the energy imbalance, we could all die from it. Besides…" he whispered. "Don't you remember? There are people who are trying to kill her. Wouldn't it be better if she could protect herself in case we aren't there to help her? If something happens to her, things could become very troublesome."
"When you put it that way, it makes more sense. But are you sure that this is the only thing we can do? Because I'm not too sure about it."
"Naruto," Shikamaru sighed. "Since when have you ever been sure about anything?" He left Naruto standing there thinking about that statement and turned back around. Amanda was already reaching for her book she had left on the ground.
"Several years ago," she said as she flipped through the pages, "I received this metal plate from an anonymous person in the mail. It had this weird engraving in the center that looked like a leaf, along with these other markings." She then lifted the sealer and showed them the carvings on it.
"It came with a note, saying to hold onto and protect it with my life. At first, I thought it was garbage and tried to throw it out. But I couldn't. Like something in the back of my mind wouldn't let me. So I've had it with me ever since. Then this summer, it just felt right to take it to Hogwarts. So instinctively, I brought it with me.
I don't recall too much, but I remember that that Malfoy kid and his two cronies attacked me because they wanted the plate." She visibly shuddered. "The only clear memory I have was that Malfoy sort of, well, changed."
"Changed?" They asked.
"Well… yeah! His eyes kind of turned black and hard, and this little part of his skin kind of, I don't know… I guess... broke off, wait no, peeled would be a better word."
"Could you say that his skin was shedding, rather than peeling?"
"You could say that… I suppose. Maybe he has a dry skin problem." Even Naruto could put two and two together, but, how was it possible? He wouldn't dare try to imitate one of the students, would he? "Hey, what's wrong? You all have really serious faces."
"We'll tell you later. Please continue."
"Okaaayy…" This was just peachy. They're all acting funny again. "Anyways, several weeks after school begun, I found a headband on the ground in the boys' dorm. It had the same leaf symbol as this plate." She didn't notice the looks they all shot at Naruto, who was nervously biting his nails.
"Being somewhat freaked out by seeing it, I just had to find out what it meant. I searched for weeks, and I eventually found it in this book. It's called the Kentos Scriptures. I have to say though, it's a pretty confusing. Half of it is written like a memoir, while another part is history-book like, and the last section seems more like an instruction manual."
"I have only one more thing to ask. A little while ago when Gaara attacked you, what did you say his eyes looked like?"
"Well, like I said before. The whites of his eyes were completely black, his iris was yellow, and his pupil looked like a blue cross with four little blue dots between the spaces."
"So are you sure they were blue?" Shikamaru put a slightephisis on the word 'blue'.
"No. I am possative they were green. I'm not color-blind you know."
"Did somebody say, GREEN?"
"Oh no!" Ten-ten groaned. "Couldn't you have said any other color besides GREEN?" She pulled out her handy-dandy earplugs and hid in a corner with her head in her arms. Lee began hopping up and down in the middle of the room waving his arms in the air.
"It's time for the green soooong! If you want, sing alooooong!" (A.N: Yes, in my mind, Lee does have a green song. But remember everyone! Lee's completely tone-deaf!)
"It's everywhere you look! Right here or by a brook. It may not have a shiny-gleam, it may not have a pearly sheeeen!
But that is whyyyy... I love the color GREEEEEEEN!" Everyone fell over anime-style. Not because how loud it was, and not because it was off-key, but because Lee actually had a 'Green' song. That's just plain creepy.
"People like the color blue, red, black, and yellow toooooo! I'm different from all the rest, I don't think one of those s'the best!
GREEN, GREEN TOPS THEM ALL! NO MATTER HOW BIG, OR HOW SMALL!" Lee made bows in all directions.
"Now for the second verse! OOOHHH...!" Instead of letting Lee continue onto his second verse, Naruto pulled a roll of duct-tape from out of nowhere and slapped it all over Lees' mouth.
"You know Naruto, we could've just done the silencio charm instead... now how are we going to get it off?" Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM LIKE THAT!" Ten-ten yelled.
"Why not?" Ten-ten came over and began to pound Naruto into the ground.
"I'LL SHOW YOU WHY NOT!" Everyone sighed. Since no one really felt like lending a helping hand, they left Naruto to his fate.
…………………………
Wow, I'm sorry it took forever to get this chapter up everyone!
Naruto: It didn't take forever, you were just too lazy to finish it.
Not true! I've been really busy this week!
Naruto: Yeah, busy reading DNAngel books all week.
Or was I?
Naruto: Yeah, you were.
I hate you so much...
Naruto: Love is in the air! (Throws Naruto out the window.)
The next chapter will not take so long to go up, I promise! Till then!
