Steve: And here we go! time for the Suna/Oto Invasion!
Hinata: Is anyone I know going to die?
Steve: No... no one you know is going to die... though Naruto IS going to be badly injured.
Hinata: (Claps hands to mouth) OH NO!
Steve: Don't worry! He's going to be fine. It's just needed as a plot device.
Yui: Isn't this the chapter which reveals the extent of Anko's "Gift"?
Steve: Yup! I think more then a few people might be surprised by it.
Yui: Really? After reading the Hellboy novel you mentioned to me, I think I know what it is.
Steve: I know you do Yui-chan. Anyways, if you would do the disclaimer Hinata and Pen-pen?
Pen-Pen: (Wark Wa WAAK arrk waark)
Hinata: Translation is "The author doesn't own Harry Potter or Naruto". He just owns this story, the plot and his insane plot-bunnies.

Ino is looking around her wildly as various Sound nin and Suna nin attack the people in the stadium. Seeing one charging at her, she throws a kunai at him only to be shocked as it hit's the surprised nin in the throat. Ino continues to stare at the dying nin as he gurgles out his last breath. 'He's… dead…' Looking up in shock, she sees three of his companions rushing at her, ready to kill the girl who killed their compatriot. A red blur appears behind the three which soon resolves into Sakura in time for her to decapitate all three with a single swipe of her sword before she throws a kunai, piercing the head of a Suna nin. Looking back at the shaking Ino, Sakura grabs her.
"Ino! Listen to me, it's ok! Don't freeze on me now, there's going to be plenty of time for that later!" Hearing a scream, she turns in time to see Raven in her wolf form tear out the throat of a Suna Kunoichi before leaping at a sound nin. Shaking her head, she looks back at Ino. "Fight now! Let your adrenalin carry you and worry about it later. Besides…" Sakura gives Inoa little smirk at this. "How are you going to beat me if I kill more then you?" Ino blinks before nodding as a shaky grin comes over her face.
"Ye… yeah! You… your right Forehead…" Gulping, she throws a kunai with a exploding tag into a crowd of Suna nin. She's about to say some more when she notices Bella and Cissy come flying out of no where on brooms before blasting any enemies they can before flying off towards the northwest wall. Blinking, Ino turns in time to see Sakura stab another Suna nin in the chest before taking the head off his companion. "Wha… what the hell was that!? And what the hell is with you Forehead!?" Grinning a little at how Ino's slowly becoming better, Sakura shrugs.
"Bella and Cissy are members of the RKAF (Royal Konoha Air Force). They're going to be helping… one sec!" She ducks a blow from a Sound nin before taking his arm off at the shoulder and then killing him with a palm strike to the temple. "Sorry about that… Yeah, those two are going to be doing Surveillance as well pissing off any enemies they can… As for me? Call me Sakura, warrior princess." Sakura laughs at the confused look Ino gives her before her attention is grabbed as Kakashi call her name…
000000000000000000 With Bella and Cissy 0000000000000000
Having finished with the stadium, Bella and Cissy are flying several hundred feet above the rest of the village (well above the reach of any jutsu. Shaking her head, Bella taps the radio in her ear before making her report. "This is Aerial 1 to HQ. The Stadium is close to being over run and there's some kind of purple energy barrier trapping the Hokage. We saw an ANBU get roasted when he touched it." Bella whistles as she sees a monster three headed snake crash one of the walls surrounding the village. "A snake summon has breached the northwest wall, repeat a snake summon has breached the northwest wall." A voice comes over the radio a second later as Bella watches Cissy shoot off several Reducto's at various enemy nin's rushing through the streets.
"HQ to Aerial 1, we copy your information and are sending reinforcements to the Stadium and Northwest wall. We request your assistance at sector five, southeast wall, repeat, we request assistance at sector five Southeast wall." Bella nods as she taps the radio again.
"We copy over." Shaking her head, Bella looks at Cissy. "Man, when Harry told me that this would be hell, he wasn't kidding." As one, the two turn towards their destination. Bella's about to say something when she sees the snake summon get stomped by a massive toad making her blink. "Huh! And who says that toads aren't useful?" Cissy shakes her head before pulling a stick of TNT from her bag before lighting it and letting it drop into a group of Suna nin's who were menacing several fleeing civilians.
"I never did." She squints as their destination comes into view before she scowls. "Make the call, their overrun." Bella nods as the two pick up some speed to do some damage. On the wall, a Suna nin looking around spots them. He pauses for several moments as his brain processes what he's seeing.
'What the… are those two… FLYING?! ON BROOMS!' He turns to shout at his commander only to hear a 'Whoosh!' behind him as the two witches unleash their attack.
"INCENDIO!" Both Bella and Cissy pull up before looking back to see burning bodies fall from the now flaming top of the wall as Bella nods.
"I may not like killing… but attack MY home and I'll personally send you to hell…" Bella reaches up to her radio once more to make a report before being sent to another area. At the Academy, Iruka is fighting off several Suna and Sound nin while taking care of the students. He gets knocked down by one and is about to be stabbed when the Sound ningets cut in half by a familiar shark-woman's sword. Looking down at Iruka, she smirks.
"Looked like you needed some help Dolphin-kun, so I figured why not?" Iruka takes her offered hand and chuckles.
"Thanks, I owe you one." He doesn't notice her eyes light up as he looks at the scared children behind him, his face hardening as he turns back to face several ninsas he pulls out two kunai. "Mind giving me a hand with these guys? We need to get the children to safety." Hisame just snorts in amusement.
"Do you even have to ask… HEY!" She shouts as she watches one of the Suna nin get blasted away as a figure in strange silver armour (imagine Templar armour from Hellgate) hops down from a nearby rooftop and cleaves another's head off. Hisame goes into a protective stance in front of the children. "Who the hell are you?!" Seeing that there's no more enemies around since the others ran off, the figure takes off her helmet to reveal Ayame.
"Sorry about not identifying myself you two, but I was kind of busy…" Iruka nods as he looks her up and down. Seeing this, Ayame smirks. "Like it? Harry-kun created it using his mother's notes as a basis. It's something he calls 'Power Armour' and it increases my abilities while giving me the ability to cast magic using what's stored." Iruka nods as he remembers Harry telling him about it as Ayame puts her helmet back on.
"Yeah, I remember Harry telling me about it… but just the same, we got to get going before anymore show up." At that moment, he groans as four more appear. "Great… me and my big mouth…" Hisame just grins bloodthristly as she lifts her sword.
"I don't know why your complaining Dolphin-kun… just means more fun for us." She looks at him and her grin widens as he groans again with her next words. "By the way… Remember how you said that you owe me? You can make it up by taking me out on a date." Snickering, she rushes at the four as does Iruka and Ayame. Meanwhile across the village, several explosions of smoke mark where the Shikigami that Harry and Naruto created before the final exam are releasing masses of Kage Bushin. After they found out from Kin about the attack, each day Harry and Naruto would summon a hundred each and then Jeraiya would seal them away into scrolls designed to transport prisoners alive. Now the Suna nin and Sound nin find themselves on the defensive as they face an army of Kage Bushin. And even though each can only take a singe hit, that fact doesn't really help much when your facing several thousand of them…
000000000 Back in the Stadium 000000000
Having witnessed Sasuke rushing after the fleeing Sand siblings as well as Kakashi sending Sakura, Naruto, and Shikamaru after them, Harry scowls as he leaps into the center of a group of enemy ninja. His sword suddenly glows green as he slashes at them as he calls out his attack. "Maho hidan! Shinigami no mai: Soul Reaver! (Magical forbidden technique! Dance of the Death God: Soul Reaver!)" The whole group falls to the ground looking like mummified corpses as the gems on Harry's bracers glow a bright green while the slashes on their bodies burst into green flame. Looking at them, he nods. 'Heh! Told you that channelling the "Withering Touch" through the blade would work…' Kuro just sighs as Harry uses the attack again.
'Okay, okay, you were right. Happy?' Kuro falls silent before asking a question that's been bugging him for a while. 'I know that the spell your using drains the victim of their life-force and you then store it in the gems on your bracers… but WHY would you need so much life-force?' Harry just gives him a sheepish grin as he notices about a hundred Kage Bushin enter the arena.
'Why? Because some spells require the users life-force to work. And I sure as hell don't want a drain on my if I can help it.' Channelling a bone breaking curse into his sword, he performs another dance. "Shinigami no mai: Bone crusher!" The various nin scream as with each swipe, their bones are crushed inside their bodies. Hitting another nin, Harry snarls as he spots Kabuto fighting Kakashi. 'That bastard!' He's about to rush him when several more jump between him and where Kakashi and Kabuto are. "I guess I just have to take care of you poor sods first, hmm? Very well, come to me for I am you DEATH!" Off to the side, Kurenai shivers as she watches Harry cleave through them like a scythe through grain.
'Scary genin…' Seeing a Suna Jounin about to hit Kiba from behind, she's going to shout when Blackwind (since she's in control) in her hybrid form grabs hold of him before tearing him in half with a snarl.
"-No one hurts my MATE and lives! None that try do either!-" Kiba looks back at her before giving her a grin.
"Thanks, I owe you one." She whines making him blush at what she just said. "Um… I'll think about it…" Shaking his head, he growls as he and Akamaru use Juujin no bushin before using a Gatsuuga. Elsewhere in the stadium, Hinata and Tenten are back to back. Tenten is sniping at any nin she can with her long range weapons while Hinata takes care of any that get too close. Nodding, Tenten looks over her shoulder at Hinata.
"You're good at this… I think we make a good team." Hinata just nods at this before hiting a Sound nin in the chest with a Jyuuken strike as her thoughts turn to her boyfriend.
'Naruto-kun… I hope that your safe…'
0000000000000000 The Battle with Gaara 000000000000000
Sasuke is staring in fear at the transformed Gaara with his cursed seal spread across half his body. 'What… what is he?!' Gaara just insanely laughs as he sees the terror in Sasuke's eyes.
"Well?! Not afraid now are you! After all you are like me-ARGH!" He goes flying as Naruto hits him with a blasting curse. Getting up from where he landed, he snarls as he sees Naruto land on a branch followed by Sakura who shudders and looks at her boyfriend.
"You were right Naruto, he is a jinchuuriki." Naruto just nods, not taking an eye off Gaara for a second.
"Yeah… no offense to you Sakura-chan, but he's too powerful for you to face." She nods as Naruto internally gulps. 'Kyubi-chan, any idea as to how to defeat him?' Kyubi just sighs and shakes her head.
'Not really no… I suppose if you could make it through the sand armour you can attack him directly or if I pump a tail's worth of chakra into you…' Naruto shakes his head and growls as he dodges a tendril of sand.
'Won't work. Even if I destroy the sand he has, he can just create more remember? Also, using a tail's worth would cut down on the amount of time I got. Give me a quarter and I'll take it from there.' She nods and does so making several people shiver and Gaara to insanely laugh.
"AH! YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME I SEE! AND HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE LYING!" Naruto just gives him the finger before shooting off a Reducto, knocking him backwards. Naruto's fist begins to glow as a ball of chakra and magic forms around it as he charges at Gaara. Upon hitting him, it causes an explosion, injuring Gaara and making him scream in rage. Naruto just watches as Gaara as he pulls out a kunai and attaches an exploding tag to it. "DIE UZUMAKI-POTTER!" Just as the sand wave is about to hit him, Naruto vanishes and reappears behind Gaara with a pop and in a crouch as he holds the kunai out.
"Now for one of the moves that Kakashi-sensei taught me! Konoha's Most Secret And Ancient Taijutsu Technique: One Thousand Years Of Pain!" Gaara's eyes pop open as Naruto sticks the kunai where the sun don't shine… only for it to explode after he disappears again with a soft crack. Naruto reappears next to Sakura with a grin as they all watch Gaara withe in agony, only for Sakura to hit him in the back of the head. "Hey! What was that for!" Sakura just scowls.
"That was for using that fucking perverted technique Sensei came up with, duh!" She's about to say more when a claw of sand grabs her and slams her into the tree trunk.
"SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto rushes over and tries to free her only to find himself unable to. "Sakura-chan! Are you okay?!" Sakura weakly nods before Naruto turns around, utterly pissed causing Gaara to gulp slightly from the feeling of KI as well as the pure magical power in the air. "You hurt her… You hurt one of my precious people… YOU ARE DEAD!" Gaara doesn't have time to react as Naruto uses Shukuchi Mukyo to close the distance before punching him through several trees. Gaara's world becomes one of pain as he's slammed into the ground, trees, rocks, and Naruto's fists and legs over and over. Finally, Gaara wraps his sand around Naruto.
"Desert coffin… Desert funeral!" The sand compacts only to get blasted away from a pulse of magic. Still snarling, Gaara suddenly shoots up as he uses the sand in the surrounding forest floor to create Shukaku's body. Shaking his head, Naruto summons Gamabunta who shouts at him.
"What the hell Gaki! What do you thinking…" He trails off as he sees Gaara transformed state. "Shit gaki, you're fighting the Ichibi's container?" Naruto nods making him shrug. "Oh well. As long as he doesn't fall asleep we should be okay." At that moment Gaara performs a sleep technique and Shukaku comes out. Naruto looks down at Gamabunta and glares.
"Thanks Oyabun… You and your big toady mouth…" Shukaku opens his arms wide and looks at the sky as he roars.
"WOOOHOO! SHUKAKU'S BACK BABY AND HE'S READY FOR BATTLE!" He then spots Gamabunta and Naruto and grins. "OH HELL YEAH! FIRST I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TWO, ESPECIALLY YOU UZUMAKI-POTTER FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY CONAINER'S ASS… DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT HURT?! DO YOU?! TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT YOU CAN'T!" At those words, Gamabunta blinks before looking up at Naruto.
"Um, should I ask if you're like that snake Orochimaru when it comes to asses…" Naruto just growls and shakes his head and is about to say something when Shukaku continues.
"AND ONCE I'M FINISHED WITH YOU, I'M GOING AFTER THAT FINE PIECE OF BLOOD LOVING ASS KUROMI! I MEAN WOOF! SHE WAS JUST CUTE AND ILLEGAL BEFORE BUT NOW… AWWWOOOO!" Everyone in the area stares at him icluderous before Naruto points at him.
"You mean to tell me that your so bad at getting dates that you have to result to chasing a DOLL for a girlfriend! Man that's so pathetic it's sad!" Shukaku's jaw drops (his not being the only one) and he seems to turn to stone as Gamabuntya hisses.
"Kuso gaki, I believe you teens call that a 'Mama burn'. That was a low blow, even for a ninja…" He trails off as he smirks. "Though it IS a good point and would explain exactly WHY Shukaku's so mad all the time considering how he's a tanuki…" Shukaku gives a wordless shout of rage as he charges the two not noticing Naruto making a familiar handsign. A minute later finds Sakura, Sasuke, and Temari watching as a group of Naruto's haul a bunch of fallen trees into the clearing. Temari blinks as their surrounded in a cloud of smoke from the inside of which chanting is heard among other things.
"What are they doing in there…" She becomes even more confused as another one appears holding a scroll with a large grin as he releases what's inside revealing a mass of explosive tags. "Eh? What's with all the… Oh shit, you have GOT to be KIDDING!" Shukaku is oblivious to all this as his Renkudan attack knocks Gamabunta to the ground making him laugh. Shaking his head, Gamabunta growls.
"No choice gaki… we're going have to wake the container… what are you grinning about?" Naruto points to behind the laughing Biju where a large, wooden kunai the size of a small house is rising. "What's with that?" Naruto just laughs before calling out to Shukaku.
"Hey! Tanuki-teme! Time for round two! Konoha's Most Ancient And Secret Taijutsu Technique: One Thousand Years Of Pain: MEGA SIZE!" The Kunai, guided by magic, hurtles at Shukaku making him widen his eyes… just before the hundred exploding tags on it detonate.
"GAH! MY FUCKING ASS! YOU FUCKING TEME! WHAT IS WITH YOU AND SHOVING THINGS UP A GUY'S ASS AND THEN HAVING THEM EXPLODE! FUCKING HELL THAT BURNS! ARGH!" Gamabunta sweatdrops as he watches Shukaku withe in pain as he keeps screaming obscenities.
"Gaki… you are most definitely your Okaa-san's son… this most definitely proves it. Only her son could pull off her original technique like this…" Gamabunta shivers as he remembering how she did it to him once when Jeraiya tried to use him to get away from her after he peeped on her. "Oh ya… definitely her son…" Naruto just looks at him in surprise.
"Eh? It's my Okaa-san's original technique? You're joking!" Gamabunta shakes his head as he watches Shukaku dance and run around while holding his ass (which still has smoke coming from it).
"I'm afraid not gaki… That woman was one of a kind… which might be a good thing considering everything." He shakes his head and chuckles at the memories (as well as ignoring Naruto's glare) "One of these days summon me and I'll tell you about her." Noticing a pissed Shukaku getting back up, he sighs. "Anyways, I'll hold him down while doing a henge while you wake up the container. All I need you to do is do the hand signes and imagine something with teeth and claws and I'll do the rest." Naruto does so when an idea of what to use comes to mind. A puff of smoke appears covering the area. Unable to see his opponent, Shukaku snarls.
"YOU THINK THAT A LITTLE SMOKE WILL STOP ME!? THINK AGAIN!" He's about to charge in when Kyubi bursts from the smoke. "KY… KYUBI! IMPOSSIBLE!" Shukaku doesn't get to say anything else when 'Kyubi' bites his arm. Kyubi then disappears to be replaced with Gamabunta while Naruto runs up Shukaku's arm towards Gaara while channelling chakra into his arm. Naruto pulls back his fist as he reaches him and cold clocks Gaara with enough power to lift him from Shukaku's head and into the air.
"WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU ASSHOLE!" Gaara's eyes shoot open as Shukaku moans.
"NOOOO! I JUST GOT OUT!" Shukaku's eyes fade before his body crumbles back into sand as Gamabunta bids Naruto goodbye before dispelling. Landing hard, Gaara moans as he's barely got any chakra and his sand barely saved him from worse injury.
"Uhhhh…." Hearing a sound, he sees Naruto walking towards him with a grim expression on his face. "N… No! Stay away! Stay away!" Naruto snorts as he stares him down as he starts to snarl.
"I wonder how many of your victims said the same thing Gaara before you killed them. How many? HOW MANY BEGGED FOR THEIR LIVES BEFORE YOU KILLED THEM GAARA!" Gaara doesn't say anything as he's currently scared shitless of the person in front of him who sighs and shakes his head. "But… I'm not you am I?" Gaara just stares at him in confusion.
"How… How are you so strong… and why don't you hate them…?" Naruto just looks at him with something akin to pity before he answers.
"I don't hate them because it's human nature to hate that which is different and strange. Wars have been fought over just that fact. I can't even find it within myself to be angry with them. Disappointed, yes… angry, no." Naruto just shakes his head as he reaches the prone Gaara. " As to the reason why I'm so strong… It's the same as why I haven't become like you. I have people precious to me and for them I will fight until I die… And I'm not the only one…"
0000000000000 Tsume and Hana 00000000000
Two Sound nin fall to Hana's and the Haimaru Triplets Gatsuuga while Tsume claws another's throat. Shaking the blood off her hands, Tsume looks at her daughter with a grin. "It's time… with all the civilians safe it's time for our counter attack." Hana nods as she watches Kuromaru take another down.
"Yeah, it's time to show these fuckers that you do NOT mess with Konoha Kunoichi. We can be real bitches if you do." Tsume grins at that before turning to face a group of Suna nin.
"Amen my daughter, Amen!"
000000000000000 Northwest Wall 0000000000000
Glancing at the new snake summons, Jeraiya is about to attack it with his summon when a massive snake erupts from the trees nearby. He's about to moan when he notices the wings on the back making him laugh as it bites the attacking snake summons. Blinking, the toad looks up at Jeraiya. "Aren't we going to attack the snakes while their fighting?" Jeraiya shakes his head as he points to the winged one (which has just bit the other).
"Nope! That, my friend, is Sal. Despite appearances she's on our side." Hearing a scream, Jeraiya turns to see Hedwig and Row lifting enemy nins high into the air before dropping them to their deaths. "Ouch… that's GOT to hurt!" Out of the corner of his eyes, he notices the nin facing Sal drop dead as she faces them (and away from him). "Huh! Guess sensei wasn't kidding about how deadly a basilisk stare is…"
000000000000 Bella and Cissy 0000000000000
Dodging through the jutsu's with all the skill of Quidditch players, Bella and Cissy continue to pound the groups they come across. Seeing a group around summoning array, Cissy points it out to her sister. "I found one of those summoning arrays Bella! Over there!" Glancing in the direction, Bella nods as a bloodthirsty grin appears on her face.
"Well then, far be it to keep them waiting, eh?" Cissy grins as the two turn towards it. "Take this you bloody bastards! Confringo! Defodio! Confringo! Reducto!" Bella nods as she too lets loose a barrage of spells… one of which her sister never even though of using.
"Bombarda! Reducto! Reducto! Confringo! Incendio! Scourgify!" She draws a strange look from her sister for the last one making her shrug. "What? It erased it right? And that's all that counts!" Cissy just shakes her head as they pull away from the new and burning clearing behind them. "Besides, I think that my dear sister was just swearing like a muggle sailor." Cissy just grins sheepishly before shooting off another spell.
"Reducto!" She looks at Bella and shrugs. "What can I say? I got caught up in the moment." Bella just laughs so hard she nearly falls off her broom.
"GAH!" Quickly restoring her balance, Bella grabs at her chest with one hand. "Whew! That was a close one…" She grins at Cissy before nodding. "Let's keep hunting, shall we?" Cissy nods in agreement as a similar grin to what her sister was wearing earlier appears.
"Oh yes! Let's!" The two turn their brooms around ready for another flyby of where the fighting's happening. "Lets show them WHY you should fear the two Black sisters…"
000000000000000 Iruka, Hisame, and Ayame 0000000000000000
Reaching the monument with his students, Iruka walks through the door into the shelter and gasps as there's several dead Sound nin surrounding what looks like dead civilians. Looking at the nearest ANBU, Iruka asks the question that comes to mind. "What happened!?" The ANBU shakes his head and sighs.
"They were dressed as civilians and in the panic no on noticed them… the dead civilians are all members of the Civilian Council… almost all of the Civilian council…" Hisame continues to sheppard the children past the scene when an explosion catches her attention. Looking over at the large fireball, she blinks.
"What was over there?" She doesn't get her answer as a force of Suna nin try to make a try for the enterance and she charges them. Iruka and the ANBU share a look, the two of them knowing EXACTLY what was there.
'That's Danzo's mansion… Or was it as the case may be…' Shrugging, the two rush out to help Hisame as does Ayame…
000000000000000000 With Naruto 000000000000000
Still looking down at Gaara, Naruto smiles assuredly. "That, Gaara, is us Konoha nin's greatest strength… one that your village and Sound underestimated. When we're protecting our friends and family… our precious people, nothing can stop us. Not a demon, not an enemy village… nothing. We will fight you in the alleys, in the houses, in the streets, and in the forests. We will fight until we draw our last, shuddering breath if it means that our most precious people may live, even if we must make the ultimate sacrifice, we will. You, who fights for yourself, don't understand this, but it's true." He looks up as Temari and a badly hurt Kankuro walk into the clearing while giving Naruto a wide berth. "But you may yet understand this since you have people who care for you Gaara, trust them. Take that chance and I promise that you'll gain true strength, the strength to protect if you do." Gaara just nods as his sister grabs him and looks at Naruto before giving him a thankful look. Her and Kankuro then take off, having enough of the invasion. Naruto just watches them go as a exhausted Sasuke leaps down behind him.
"That's it?! You're just going to let them go after all that!?" Naruto nods and Sasuke practically screams at him. "WHY?!" Naruto shrugs at him.
"There's no need to Sasuke. Why chase after a defeated enemy? Besides, I got a good feeling about it." He suddenly stiffens and whips to look in the direction of the Stadium. "Sorry guys, but I got to go! I'm needed else where!" And with a pop he vanishes (leaving behind a shocked Sasuke and a nodding Sakura) and reappears in the stadium. Sensing where Harry is, he disappears again and reappears beside him. Harry just glances at him and snorts before looking back at the barrier around the Sandaime and Orochimaru.
"About fucking time you arrive. What the hell took you so long? Had to help an old woman cross the street?" Rolling his eyes at the dig at Kakashi's excuses, Naruto looks at him before answering him in a sarcastic voice.
"I'd like to see you get here as fast if you had to fight the fully manifested Shukaku." Harry just shrugs again while Naruto turns the barrier as well. "So what's this thing then? And why haven't you got through it yet?" The red-haired girl at one of the corners answers him.
"Because our barrier is impenetrable you fucking ass-licker! The little black haired he-bitch has been shooting stuff at us for the past two minutes with no effect. And those shit head ANBU behind you already lost a little prick who tried to get through, but we roasted his ass when he touched our fucking barrier you fucktard!" Naruto just looks at her before turning to Harry and rolling his eyes.
"Nii-san, are you or aren't you a fucking wizard? Or have you forgotten the wards are down? I took them down once our match is over." Harry stares at him before smacking his face.
"I. Am. A. Bloody. Fucking. Baka." Sighing the two look at each other before vanishing with a crack and reappearing inside the barrier. "I should have fucking thought of this you know… Oh well, I guess even a wizard-nin as brilliant as me has his off days." Naruto just snorts in derision while ignoring the shocked looks.
"'Off days' my ass. You only get on days." He gives another snort as he looks at Tayuya (and ignores Harry's glare). "Impenetrable barrier my ass." And with that, the two walk into the forest only to blink and rush in as a feeling of power washes over them. Deeper in, the Sandaime has finished summoning the Shinigami and has just sealed away the Shodaime and the Nidaime. He doesn't notice the red-haired, green eyed spirithe also accidently summoned who's looking around her in confusion.
'What the hells going on? Last thing I remember was that I was visiting James' father and hugging him when I felt a pull and ended up here…' The Shinigami looks at her before sighing sadly.
"Sorry about that Lily dear. I was summoned and when I was you were pulled here as well since you were touching me at the time." He looks down as the Sandaime grabs Orochimaru's arms as he brings up his knife. He brings his knife down and cuts Orochimaru's spiritual arms off before he eats them and is about to grab Sarutobi's soul to eat it as well when his arm is grabbed by Harry. "What the?!" Harry just glares at him as he holds it there while Naruto knocks Orochimaru away from the Hokage.
"Sorry, but I'm not going to let Ojii-san die today you old fart." Lily blinks at the person before her as tears break out upon realizing it's her son. Suddenly, she goes red as she realizies what he just said, but before she can say anything, the Shinigami shakes his head.
"Sorry Harry, but I must. There's a consequence for every action and this is the one for the action he did." Harry just shakes his head before he starts to argue, which shocks the Sandaime as he watches Harry do so.
"Yeah, but the Shodaime and the Nidaime were already dead so no foul sending them back to the land of the dead, also all he sealed was Orochimaru's arms, nothing more. And that shouldn't be enough for him to die!" The Shinigami is about to say something as the trees blocking the view die and crumble as their exposed to his aura. He's looking around when he starts to laugh before becoming visible to all. The ANBU back up as they see him laughing.
" Kid, I REALLY like how much guts you have! Tell you what, if you can make me bleed, I'll let your precious Sandaime live. If not, I take him. Deal?" Harry nods as he let's go and leaps away. Still grinning, the Shinigami charges him and their blades meet in a deadly dance. Harry finds himself struggling as the Death God's knife hits his demonic blade again and again. "Don't tell me this is all you got? Pathetic! Looks like it's Kage Soul for dinner tonight!" Harry's face suddenly snarls as deep inside him, the first three gates begin to strain as he tries to open them. All three suddenly open at once and a massive burst of chakra and magic gathers around Harry's body, swirling outwards. 'Hmm? What's this now?' Harry bends as he slides his blade back into it's sheath. He then clicks it open as the fourth gate opens before vanishing and reappearing behind the Shinigami and clicks it close again.
"Limit breaker: Kamikaze ken (Divine Wind Blade)" He falls over as the Shinigami laughs before turning to him.
"Not bad kid… not bad at all. Congradulations…" A tear suddenly appears in his Kimono at the shoulder before a small trickle of blood appears Glancing at Lily, he softly grins before pulling out the life-force Harry had gathered in his bracers as he looks at the coffin which was to hold the Yondaime. 'Thanks to this, I'll make a wish of your's come true my grandson… Enjoy.' He nods before looking at the Sandaime. "You have this boy to thank for your life Hiruzen, Never summon me again." He then leans down and whispers into the Sandaime's ear. "After all, it wouldn't do to make my Grandson sad… now would it?" As he pulls away, the Hokage faints making him roar with laughter as he slowly fades away. Staring at where the Shinigami was, Orochimaru notices Anko appearing on the roof before glaring at the Sandaime.
"I WILL NOT BE DENIED MY REVENGE!" He opens his mouth with the Kusanagi only to be knocked to the side by Anko.
"Not today you asshole! It's time that we finished this!" Charging at him, Anko's eyes widen as she watches him make a single handsign (Despite the agony it puts him in) which brings her to her knees.
"Yes… I do believe it is." He watches as the ANBU grab the Sandaime's body before vanishing making him snarl as he realizes it was a distraction at the same time that Anko tells him so. He turns and glares at his former student with hatred. "YOU HAVE ROBBED ME OF MY REVENGE!" Through the pain she's in, Anko weakly grins.
"Yeah… so what snakeface…" He just screams in rage before shooting the Kusanagi at her. Anko stares straight ahead at her approaching death with a single regret. 'I'm so sorry Tsuki… looks like Kaa-san isn't coming home… Please take care…' Her eyes widen as Naruto appears between her and the blade, with it piercing him through the chest. "No… NO! NOOOO! NARUTO!" Orochimaru is so surprised he lets go the handsign as Anko grabs hold of Naruto's body with tears running down her face. "Na… Naruto… why? WHY DID YOU FUCKING DO THAT!" Naruto just reaches up and cups her tear streaked face and softly smiles at her.
"Because… you're (cough!) precious to me Anko-chan… (Cough! Hack!) You're worth it… (Wheeze) And… Tsuki would cry if you died…" His eyes slowly close as Anko starts shaking with grief.
"No… please any kami that's listening don't let him die… please…" She watches as his breathing starts to slow. "No… I… I can't lose you Naruto… you're… you're precious to me too…" Hearing mocking laughter she looks up to see Orochimaru laughing making her grit her teeth.
"Oh… OH! This is too rich! He's 'Precious' to you and he stepped in front of a fatal blow! That is WAY too ironic." He watches as she hangs her head and start growling. "Oh, I'm sorry, is it painful? I thought that you would have learned your lesson with me that making bonds only hurts in the end… Well, I guess that's another one of your precious people dead at my hands… like your Okaa-san." Anko suddenly stiffens making him laugh as the ANBU are too busy fighting the Sound Four to interfere. "Never knew that did you, hmm? Back at the beginning of the last Great Ninja war, she found me experimenting on some Iwa nin I captured. I couldn't let her go after that… It was so easy to make it appear like Iwa killed her." Anko starts to tremble in rage as he continues. "And then you became my apprentice! It was so deliciously ironic… like now." She mumbles something making him get a mock curious look on his face. "I'm sorry, what was that?" A burst of Murderous Intent from Anko freezes him and everyone on the roof.
"I said… You are dead…" She looks up showing that the whites of her eyes are now golden as the pupil is now a reptilian slit. She stands up as her body seems to ripple and grow. "You… are… FUCKING DEAD! GRAAAGH!" Orochimaru backs away as Anko's face changes into a scaly draconic muzzle and the rest of her body follows, tearing her clothes until where Anko once was is now a nine foot tall humanoid female dragon. Her scales are a pure white and her hair has now become a mane down her back which has spikes extending from it. Her wings then burst from her back, extending to their twenty foot wingspan. Seeing her burning, hateful gaze, Orochimaru takes another step back as he feels an emotion he almost forgot about: Fear.
Wha… What happened to her? Did her curse seal advance… evolve?' He doesn't get any more time to ponder as Anko disappears and her ham sized fist sends him into the seating on the other side of the arena. Groaning, he barely rolls out of the way of another punch from Anko that goes through the reinforced concrete of the Stadium making him gulp. She's… she's as strong as Tsunade…' Anko growls as she opens her mouth and a blaze shoots out of it. Leaping out of it, Orochimaru summons the Kusanagi back to him and shoots it back at her, only for it to barely pierce her stomach. Looking down at it, she just grabs it before yanking it out. Still holding it, she grabs his tongue and literally rips it from his mouth making him scream in agony. Seeing this, several of the remaining Sound nin rush over.
"Orochimaru-sama!" They leap onto Anko and start stabbing her with their kunai as a Suna Jounin opens a small wound using a Kaze Yaiba. While this is happening, Orochimaru slowly gets up as she tears them to pieces with her teeth and claws. The last one, the Suna Jounin, dies as Anko wraps her tail around his neck, piercing it with her spikes.
'Incredable… her transformation gives her sheer brute strength and speed… but she lacks intelligence… she's completely guided by instinct…' His eyes as she once again disappears from sight only to land a devastating upper cut that pulverizes his jaw. Before he flies away, she grabs him and slams him into the floor hard enough to create a five foot wide crater. She then proceeds to run along the aisle, dragging him through the seating. Finally stopping, she lifts the bruised and battered body of her former sensei and opens her mouth. Orochimaru gulps as he witnesses fire swirling in her throat as she prepares to fry him when her head is knocked to the side as Jirobo in his level two form smashes her in the side of the head.
"I don't think so!" He looks as Tayuya grabs Orochimaru and nods before the five vanish. Looking around and seeing that her prey has vanished, Anko let's out a scream of pure primal rage before her head whips around and spots the ANBU captain walking towards Naruto. She softly growls in her throat and vanishes. Still walking towards him, the ANBU captain shakes his head.
"Kuso gaki… What the hell just happened… It's too bad that your dead… WHOA!" He leaps back just as Anko's fist comes down and shatters the part of the roof he was just on. "Oh… shit…" He gulps as Anko moves to crouch over Naruto protectively. He looks down and sighs with relief seeing that Naruto's chest is still rising and falling. "Well at least your still alive gaki…" Hearing a growl, he looks back up to see Anko glaring at him. "Now what to do about you…"
