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"

Hitaru: I know I haven't really done any Sasuke torture, but this chapter is where he starts to get his sorry ass kicked! Yey! And I know Amanda's fist would only hit sand, but she wouldn't actually try to hit him, I think…

On with the story!

Chpt 27: Release of the Demons!

…………………………

The beast quickly turned its head as a thrumming sound made the air pressure change dramatically. Red tendrils of chakra seeped through the forest, and made breathing suddenly difficult. Something bad was coming, something very bad, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.

…………………………

Naruto's eyes opened, and red chakra began to bubble out.It formed the customary red fox shape around him, but this time, he had four tails. He took a deep breath of air and breathed out slowly. He smiled, baring his pointed fangs, and got to his feet.

I had almost forgotten what the outside world is like. This was no longer Naruto, but Kyuubi. He took up his razor sharp claws and tore through a tree like a hot knife through butter. His nose twitched, catching the smell of blood in the distance. Just in time for the party. He casually jumped up to the very top of a pine tree and looked out over the forest.

In the distance, he could see the battle raging in front of Hogwarts castle. In the forest itself, were over several hundred men prepping themselves for battle. Along with that, he could see half a dozen Lesser Oni flying above the ground. Kyuubi grinned and began to gather a large amount of chakra in one hand.

…………………………

"I'm going to join in." Sasuke said to Voldemort. "I'm bored. Keep a close eye on that girl. I don't think she's just going to sit there."

"Have fun then." Voldemort waved him off. Sasuke smirked and walked out of the cover of the forest, and into the chaos of the battlefield. Bodies lay strewn about the ground, covered in blood. A giant toad spotted him and immediately began to charge him. Sasuke started his chidori and put it straight through the toads head. It disappeared in a puff of smoke and Sasuke continued onwards.

One of his men landed in a splash of red at Sasuke's feet. He kicked it carelessly aside and turned to face his new opponent. Sakura's face held a grim expression as her hands clenched into fists at her side.

"Shall we?" Sasuke went down into his fighting stance and looked her straight in the eye. Without any recognition, Sakura charged him at full speed. Sasuke activated his Sharingan and began dodging her lightning fast strikes.

Her foot came around in a roundhouse to his head, and Sasuke grabbed her foot. Sakura moved both her left fist and other foot at the same time, wedging her leg in-between his ankles and tripping him up. Sasuke tried moving and fell to the ground. She fell down with him and pinned him down with her elbow to his throat. She pulled a kunai out of her holster and threw it behind her. The real Sasuke caught the ring of the kunai and whipped it right back at Sakura. She jumped up high, and the kunai hit the Kage Bunshin squarely in the chest, making it disappear in a cloud of smoke.

While in the air, Sakura put her hands together and did several handseals. She placed her hand in the air and performed a Kuchiyouse no jutsu in midair. A three foot long slug spun around and sprayed acid in Sasuke's direction. While jumping out of the way, Sasuke snapped his fingers twice. A giant anaconda jumped into the air and wrapped itself around the slug, squeezing it as hard as it could.

The slug exploded, but not in the way Sasuke intended. Instead of dying, it split into multiple different slugs and kept pursuing him. Sakura's hand glowed green, and she chopped off the head of his snake summoning while Sasuke burnt the slugs to a crisp with a fireball. They both landed about thirty feet from each other.

They both diverted their attention to the trees nearby that were beginning to shake. The ground underneath them rumbled, and the air pressure increased. They flung their arms up to protect their faces, and a red flash cut down every tree that it touched. They slowly opened their eyes and looked to see what had just happened. From the depths of the forest, a red figure came out on all fours.

It stood up and lifted its head to the sky. It let out a roar so loud, everyone fighting instantly stopped and looked.

"What in the world?" Sasuke looked down at his arms and saw that his arms were all cut up, even though the light hadn't even touched him.

Hello there. A voice whispered in his ear. Sasuke turned around and saw Naruto with blood red eyes and covered in red chakra that looked like a fox with four tails. Before Sasuke had a chance to react, Naruto pulled back his arm, and thrust forward with his claws straight through Sasuke's chest. A tearing sound was made as Naruto impaled Sasuke through the chest.As Sasuke's eyes began to glaze over, Naruto whispered something in his ear, Déjà vu.

He tugged his arm out and threw Sasuke to the side. His eyes were glazing over while blood gushed out in buckets. Sakura stood there in shock as Naruto slowly advanced on her.

Sakura's mouth moved up and down, but nothing came out. "K-Kyuubi?' She stuttered finally.

Gee, you think? Kyuubi said sarcastically. Well, not quite anyway. I'm not even in my full form yet. He reached out an arm of chakra and grabbed Sakura by the throat. She struggled and tried to pry the arm off, but all she did was end up burning her hands. The more she tried to fight it, the more it tightened. Go on… Kyuubi brought her right up to his face. Try and scream. But no one's going to hear you.

Kyuubi fell forward as a heavy weight struck the small of his back. It didn't hurt, but it did make him lose his balance.

"Put her down." Chouji drew back his super sized hands with Shikamaru at his side. Kyuubi ignored them and his grip constricted. "Stop this madness!" Chouji roared. "I know you're still in there Naruto!"

You know, Kyuubi said, pausing for just a second. I really am sick and tired of people calling me Naruto… Chouji opened his mouth as if to shout again, but Shikamaru silenced him.

"Don't even try it Chouji." Chouji looked at Shikamaru like he was insane. "This isn't Naruto anymore. He can't be bargained with."

…………………………

Gaara could hear someone calling his name, but it was so faint, he thought he was dreaming. A spark went through his brain, and he opened his eyes. Kankurou leaned over him with several chakra strings trailing from each finger.

"You're finally awake!" Kankurou sighed with relief and slumped backwards. Gaara pushed himself up and rubbed his face.

"What did you do to me?" His skin felt all tingly and clammy.

"I'm not too sure how I did it to be honest. You were falling from your sand cloud, and I was able to somehow attach chakra strings to you and stop your descent. After that, you were out cold so I was able to open your eyes by attaching a string to your nervous system."

"But, your chakra strings should only be able to control puppets! Specially made ones at that…" Gaara sounded confused.

"Yeah I know…" Kankurou helped lift his younger brother to his feet. "Like I said, I don't really know how I was able to do it, other than the fact that I did." Kankurou let go of Gaara's shoulders and frowned. "And, I'm sorry… those things got away. Temari and I did our best, but I guess that best wasn't good enough."

"Then I'll just have to put things right." Gaara formed another sand cloud and beckoned Kankurou to sit down on it as well. "Where is Temari, by the way?" Kankurou pointed up in the sky where Temari rained wind attacks left and right. Gaara floated up next to her side and tapped her shoulder.

"Come with us. I'm going to need both of you to cover me." Temari nodded and flew after Gaara guarding his back.

…………………………

Amanda tried to block out the constant screaming of the Lesser Oni. It persistently paced back and forth in the same place. It acted fidgety and nervously batted its wings in front of it, as if trying to keep something at bay.

I'm going to go insane! Amanda gritted her teeth as the screams reached a higher pitch. It whipped its head around and stared at her with those bottomless eyes.

It is coming! A frenzied thought crossed Amanda's mind. However, it wasn't hers. The tailed demon king! Waves of emotions crashed over her, consisting of fear, hostility and utmost panic.

Somehow, its thoughts can enter my own! Amanda grimaced as a fresh flood of emotions entered her own. There's too many… Small beads of sweat began to form on her face. Make it stop!

A crashing sound came from her left, and the emotions left her mind as quickly as they had come. The Oni braced itself against the sand that pummeled mercilessly against it. The sand stopped, but the Oni did as well. Bright blue strands entered its back, and Kankurou jumped out of the bushes.

"I'll get you out of here." Gaara came from behind the tree and started to untie the rope.

"No Don't!" Amanda yelled hoarsely. Gaara quickly pulled his hands back and froze. "You do that, and I'll die!" She motioned to the needles that protruded from the coils, and Gaara frowned deeply."They're poisoned needles and the poison is activated when it touches the air!"

"I can't just leave you here."

"You're going to have to. There's nothing you can do about it right now." Gaara reached for the ropes once more, but Amanda moved out of reach. "Are you trying to kill me?"

"No, I'm not. I have an idea." A tendril of sand floated down his finger and seeped in through the cracks in the rope. "I'm going to try and absorb the poison with my sand so that I can pull those needles out."

Gaara carefully guided the sand to the base of the needles and then, into the small holes they had made in her stomach. Amanda whimpered slightly and doubled over as the sand entered her wounds. Gaara pushed her back up against the tree so that he could move his sand about more freely and quickly. Despite her obvious discomfort, Gaara kept at it until he was sure that he had gotten every speck of the deadly poison out of her.

"Gaara!" Temari whispered earnestly into his ear. "Someone's coming this way!"

"Just a bit more…" Now this was the tricky part, he had to pull the sand out quickly enough so that it wouldn't burn her on the way out. Gaara deftly twisted his sand, and it seeped out through the creases in the rope. In midair, the sand disappeared with a small sizzling sound. "Acid. They used some sort of acid that burns up once it hit the air…"

"Yeah, that's nice. Now hurry up!" Gaara gently put his hand on Amanda's shoulder and eased the needles out. He let them clatter to the ground and began to fumble around with the knotted rope. Temari pushed him out of the way and brought her fan down on the rope, splitting it straight in two. "The faster, the better!"

Gaara carefully held Amanda bridal style, so she wouldn't lose more blood, and started to get out of there with Temari and Kankurou backing him up. Right there and there, Orochimaru crashed through the underbrush.

"Why hello boys and girls! What a nice night this is!" He held up a wand and shot at them. "Want to play?"

"Something's wrong with him…" Kankurou muttered. "He's acting like he has no idea what he's doing…"

"Good night!" A blue light erupted from his wand tip and ricocheted off of Temari's fan. Unfortunately, it changed direction and hit Gaara in the back. Of course, his sand didn't do him any good since it was a spell. His eyes glazed over and he fell forward, Temari pulling Amanda quickly out of the way. "Sleeping spell…" Orochimaru snorted and began to laugh. "Gets 'em every time!"

"D-Did you say, sleeping spell?" Kankurou and Temari asked nervously.

"Uh-huh…" Orochimaru started to bite his fingernails for no real reason.

"Oh shit… I knew it!" Kankurou twitched a bit. "He really doesn't have any idea what he is doing! Temari! Run for it!"

She had obviously been thinking the same thing, and already far ahead of him. He glanced one last time at Gaara, and saw that sand was packing itself on top of him with a mind of its own.

"Sorry about this." Kankurou turned tail and fled, controlling the Oni against its will to run in front of him as well.

…………………………

"Kyuubi. Let her go." Tsunade appeared behind Chouji and Shikamaru.

Make me… Kyuubi laughed and tightened his hold on Sakura's throat. If you really want her, come and get her. Without any warning, a silver streak shot down from the sky and hit Kyuubi right in the back. Occupied with this new threat, he dropped Sakura and grappled with the Oni that was latched on his back.Kakashi came from nowhere and picked Sakura up. Her throat was a blistering red and she was gasping like a fish out of water.

"Tsunade, do what you can for her and Sasuke." Kakashi gave a disgusted look when he said Sasuke's name, but they needed all the help they could get to bring Kyuubi down. Tsunade nodded and her hands began to glow neon green. She deftly fixed up Sakura's neck, and leaned down next to Sasuke. She placed a hand over the hole in his chest and poured in as much chakra as she could muster. His eyes unglazed and flickered opened.

"Hu…" He was about to ask something when Tsunade punched him in the stomach as hard as she could without using any chakra.

"Listen,we hate you, you hate us." Tsunade shook his head hard. "But we need all the help we can get to bring the Kyuubi down." She admitted grudgingly.

"Kyuubi? Wha…" Then it hit him and he gulped. He finally pieced all the pieces together and understood.

"But after this, we will continue from where we left off." Tsunade threw him to the ground and jumped after Kyuubi, who was snapping the neck of the Oni.

Damn thing… He muttered, throwing it to the ground. I never liked them when I lived with them in hell, and I still don't like them now. As soon as Tsunade got close to him, Kyuubi unexpectedly sprouted a fifth tail.

Once again, I am sorry for the miserably short chapter, but I've got CMT's (Connecticut Mastery Testing) coming up soon. Yeesh! And I thought my updates were going back to normal! It's a conspiracy I tell you! My school is out to get me! Then again, when isn't it? Anyways, I tried to get this up yesterday, but for some odd reason I couldn't upload the document, so, here it is now! Till then!
