Naruto:
The One True King:
Pilot:
The Heir of Arthas
Well folks I've always wanted to write a Naruto Warcraft story, so after going over a dozen possible plot ideas I decided to go with what works: Naruto becomes the new Lich King. It's simple, people enjoy it, and Naruto can do crazy shit. So yeah…anyway here we go…For in the final hour, all must serve the one... true... king.
Long Ago, before the mighty Cataclysm that brought forth the Second Sundering, a united coalition of the mortal races of Azeroth defeated the Scourge and resealed the Lich King and his runeblade Frostmourne back into the Frozen Throne. The remaining members of the Ebon Blade and the Forsaken joined together to guard the Frozen Throne to make sure the Lich King did not escape. But after a few centuries of guarding the Frozen Throne, they were over throne by the Scourge. But the Lich King could not be freed until a new body could be found. But the Lich King was a patient being, he could wait until the time was right even if it took centuries. During his time as a Paladin, Arthas has a secret affair with a young chambermaid. The Lich King secretly watched his son produce his own family and so on waiting…waiting for a child to be born worthy enough to become the next Lich King. Soon his descendent Namikaze Minato married Uzumaki Kushina; the two soon gave birth to a child…Uzumaki Naruto, and it was then that the Lich King made his choice.
From his frozen prison the Lich King watched his descendent Minato seal the Kyuubi no Kitsune into his son Naruto. This was the opportunity he had waiting centuries for, a chance to gain a new body. Using the power he had saved during the centuries he created a crack in the Frozen Throne and cast Frostmourne out of the Frozen Throne. It floated mystically in front of the Frozen Throne waiting for some to grab it.
Suddenly there was a flash of light and the Arch Lich Kel'Thuzad, the most loyal minion of the Lich King. "What is my bidding my Master," Kel'Thuzad said.
"The time for my return to this world is coming," the Lich King said. Suddenly and image of the infant Naruto appeared. "This is my descendent Uzumaki Naruto. He is to be my heir, go forth to his village and bring him back here immediately. His parents are dead, and he will need protection for right after his birth his Father sealed in him the Kyuubi no Kitsune." He added.
"By adding the power of the Kyuubi to your already great power; you will be truly godly in power Master," Kel'Thuzad said.
"Indeed. You must make haste and make sure the boy is not harmed. But before you do summon the traitors," the Lich King commanded.
"At once my Master," he replied. He then casted a spell and with a flash two beings in Saronite chains materialized in front of the Frozen Throne.
One was a female High Elf and the other a Human Male, since they were both Undead their skin was a pale blue. They were both dressed in rags and looked like they were in a poor state. These two were none other than Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, Dark Lady of the Forsaken and Highlord Darion Mograine of the Knights of the Ebon Blade.
"What is it you want Arthas?" Sylvanas said with pure venom in her voice.
"I have a proposition for you two. In the past each of you were some of my most powerful lieutenants but you betrayed me," he then made an image of Uzumaki Kushina appear. "When you resealed back inside the Frozen Throne, Alexstrasza created a son from your DNA for you to , this is his descendent Uzumaki Kushina." He then paused and took in the shock from his two prisoners, "In life she was a powerful kunoichi who married my descendent Namikaze Minato. They then had a son named Naruto. He will become my new vessel and thus you're Master. But recently tragedy befell them, a powerful nature spirit known as the Kyuubi no Kitsune attacked their village. Minato died sealing the beast inside Naruto and Kushina died in childbirth. If you agree to go to Konoha and bring him back and raise him I will let you go and reinstate you as my Lieutenants."
"Why should we serve you? You took away everything we ever cared about and enslaved us!" Darion said.
"And even if we did what you asked, why would we unleash anther soulless tyrant onto this planet," Sylvanas said.
"On the contrary; when Naruto takes the throne he will in fact keep his soul. After he was born, his mother died due to birth complications his Father died protecting his village from the Kyuubi no Kitsune by sealing into him. Once Naruto grabs hold of Frostmourne it will feed on the Kyuubi's soul, leaving Naruto's soul intact." The Lich King said.
"Why ask us to do this, why not have one of your loyal minions raise the child instead of two traitors?" Darion asked.
"Because you two…are how shall I put it…different," he said then paused and continued, "You two know have to raise a child and you can teach him how fight and rule. But enough talk, will you accept my offer?"
The two were silent as they pondered their answer. It was a minute or so before ether of them spoke. But Darion was the first, "Fine. I'll look after the kid."
"Good, it good to have you back Highlord Mograine. I expect the Ebon Blade to return as our most elite troops," he said. "And what about you Sylvanas?"
Sylvanas hated the Lich King with a passion for what he did to her people, but she had noticed something had changed. She couldn't put her finger on it but something was off. She then looked at the picture of the baby Naruto and it immediately reminded her of her son. Her maternal instincts began to kick in and she decided on an answer, "I'll do it… for the child's sake."
"Good then, Kel'Thuzad release them," the Lich King commanded. Kel'Thuzad did as he was instructed and magically the chains disappeared. "Kel'Thuzad, return to them their weapons and armor and once that is completed travel to Konoha and take possession of young Naruto." He said.
"As you wish Master," Kel'Thuzad answered.
"Before you go," he said. Then from above the Frozen Throne flew in a Frostblood whelp, "This is Frosty. He is a gift and a guardian for young Naruto. Now go."
The three nodded and Kel'Thuzad led the other two out of the Throne Room. The three walked, well hovered in Kel'Thuzad's case, through the corridors of Icecrown Citadel. As Sylvanas and Darion walked through they were amazed at how many Forsaken they saw roaming about doing their business.
Kel'Thuzad noticed the two's look of astonishment and chuckled, "Surprised to see your people roaming about? I'm not surprised… you two have been sealed away for so long you haven't noticed how the times have changed. The Master…has changed…per say."
Darion and Sylvanas did not give the Lich a reply so they continued on for a few minutes passing ghouls, lichs, geists, banshee and other members of the Scourge until they arrived at the armory. Kel'Thuzad pointed to two rooms and said, "Inside those are your arms and armor; Frosty and I will wait for you out here." Sylvanas and Darion went into their separate changing room.
While the two were changing, Kel'Thuzad had a mental conversation with his Master. "If you plan to have these two raise Naruto, what is it you wish for me to do?"
"We have been isolated for too long old friend; you will go out and survey the world for new recruits. Also send out the most devote of the Cult of the Dammed to the Shinobi villages to convert those to our ways," the Lich King commanded.
"Your wish is my command, Master," Kel'Thuzad replied. A few minutes later both Sylvanas and Darion came out dressed in there typical clothing/armor (see WoW for a better description).
Darion took off his helmet and said, "Where are my blades?" He was of course referring to his Runeblades: The Hungering Cold and the Slayer of the Lifeless.
"Ah yes…we have a special treat for you Highlord," Kel'Thuzad said with smile. He then snapped his fingers and then in Darion's hands appeared the Corrupted Ashbringer. "It seems that the core of the Ashbringer is somehow connected to the Naru, the Ashbringer goes through cycles of Light and Darkness. As right now it is in Darkness cycle so wield it well," he said.
Darion nodded and holstered the Ashbringer on his back. He then said, "Let's go get the kid."
"Indeed," Kel'Thuzad said. He then created a portal to Konoha and the three walked in.
(*******)
Konohagakure no Sato had just survived the greatest disaster possible: an encounter with the Kyuubi no Kitsune. But while the village wall wasn't even breached, Konoha had suffered loss in the hundreds. But perhaps the greatest loss and tragedy was that after giving birth to her first child Uzumaki Kushina had died to birthing complications, then Minato died sealing the Kyuubi into their son Naruto. For such a tragedy to happen on a day of what was supposed to be joy, how fate was cruel.
For his safety Naruto was currently in the Hokage's office with Sarutobi Hiruzen, the newly reinstated Sandaime, protecting him from the up incoming mobs that would call for the boy's life. But then out of nowhere a crackle of blue energy appeared out of thin air and a circle of energy appeared and out of it three creatures appeared.
The first was a female with pale blue skin, light blonde hair, and glowing red eyes. She was garbed in revealing armor and had a cloak over her head. On her back was a quiver of arrows, in one hand a long bow and two swords were at her hips. After her a male walked out clad in a gunmetal color armor and a large sword strapped to his back. His skin was a tealish color and he had spiky blonde hair and his eyes had a blueish glow to them. The last was a floating skeleton creature with chains and a gold and blue headdress. After the floating skeleton was what seemed to be a baby dragon that was made up of bones and a little flesh and glowed blue. Needless to say, something you don't see every day.
"Who…what…are you? And why are you here?" Sarutobi demanded.
"Our names are of no concern human. We are here for the child," the floating skeleton said.
Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, "What do you want with Naruto?"
"Listen Old Man, just give us the kid and no one gets hurt," the man in the armor said.
"ANBU!" Sarutobi cried and then out of nowhere half a dozen ANBU appeared out of nowhere with their blades drawn.
"Foolish humans; your powers are nothing compared to the power of the Lich King," Kel'Thuzad said.
"Who is this Lich King of which you speak," Sarutobi asked.
"The Lich King is the master of Death and he has chosen young Namikaze as his next vessel so give us the baby and you will be spared." The Lich said.
"Well I am sorry but I cannot allow you to take Naruto. ANBU attack," Sarutobi commanded.
The ANBU rushed to attack them but Kel'Thuzad raised his arm up and said, "Frost Nova." Instantaneously all the ANBU in the room were frozen solid in chunks of ice. Kel'Thuzad then turned to Darion and said, "Deal with him."
"Fine," Darion said. He then raised his hand and shouted, "Death Coil!" Out of his hand shot a green ball of energy in the form of a skull that hit Sarutobi square in the chest that sent him flying out the window.
"Take the baby and go back through the portal. I still have work to do here," Kel'Thuzad said.
Darion and Sylvanas didn't care and the two undead walked over to the crib and got a look at the next vessel for their "master". There in the crib was baby Naruto sleeping even after all the racket that had jus occurred.
Sylvanas reached down to pick up the baby and in the first time in millennia she smiled. Darion smirked and said, "He's a cute kid."
"Indeed. He reminds of Alexandros," she held the baby in her arms. Alexandros was their child blessed to them by the Dragon Queen Alexstrasza before she perished in the final battle with the Dark Scourge Deathwing.
"Hurry up you two," Kel'Thuzad said. The two glared and him wand walked back through the portal to Icecrown. Kel then turned to Frosty and said, "Go with them Frosty and make sure they don't corrupt young Naruto. I will return to Icecrown as soon as my business here is finished." The Frostbrood whelp nodded and flew back through the portal. Kel'Thuzad then quickly preformed a blink spell and then blinked away before more ANBU showed up.
Reappearing atop the Hokage monument Kel'Thuzad looked up across Konoha and said, "This likes a perfect place to start preaching the word of our Master. Also I can get a new kitten or perhaps a puppy. It does get lonely some times."
