Intro:

As the wind passed by Konoha, anyone who still trained in the old ways might be able to see a fox running by in the distance. What's so special about this fox? It was the Kyuubi no Kitsune the lord of the Bijuu, Greatest of the nine, and right hand of Kami herself.

'Ano, Kyuu how long has it been since we last woke up?" thought the fox.

"IT'S BEEN TEN THOUSAND YEARS SINCE YOUR LAST AWAKENING OH GREAT KYUUBI, BLADE OF KAMI . WE HAVE BEEN AWAITING YOUR RETURN" said a voice, its thundering making even the fox jump in surprise.

"Is that so oujou-san? Are you finally here to claim my soul as you did to all those I cared about so long ago?" asked the fox.

"DO NOT TEMPT ME BOY, I AM NOT AS KIND AS MY SISTER. YOU MAY BE HER WEAPON BUT EVEN SHE HAS REALIZED THAT THERE ARE NO GREAT CHALLENGES LEFT FOR YOU IN THIS WORLD." said the Shinigami.

"So what, you expect me to just roll over and die, oujou? I would think you knew me better than that. If you are here for my soul than you can come and try to get it, but i'll fight you with tooth and claw before you so much as lay a hand on me, or do you not remember how you got that scar on your face?" responded the fox.

"I CAN SEE WHY MY SISTER LIKES YOU SO MUCH, NAMIKAZE NARUTO. BUT EVEN YOU KNOW THAT IT IS FOOLISH TO TEMPT DEATH ITSELF, BUT NO I CAME NOT FOR YOUR SOUL BEAUTIFUL AND UNCORRUPTED AS IT IS. YOU, AS WELL AS I, KNOW HOW MUCH IT SADDENED ME TO TAKE YOUR WOMEN'S SOULS TO THEIR ETERNAL SLUMBER, BUT WITHOUT BEING YOUR TRUE MATE YOUR POWER COULD NOT GRANT THEM ETERNAL LIFE." said the shinigami.

"So what did you come here for, to gloat yourself in my presence, I don't want to hear it. I have yet to find my true mate, or so you say....well I say different but it doesn't matter. No I can have my heart ripped out hundreds of times but you don't care, do you. Time has made me cold and cruel oujou, as it did you and your sister." said Naruto, "Heartache is a cruel mistress, one that you know well. If you came to gloat at me or take someone else, go ahead."

"YOU HAVE FALLEN FAR NARUTO. TO SEE YOU LIKE THIS, IS MAKING MY SISTER CRY AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I PERSONALLY HATE THAT. SHE HAS GRANTED YOU A CHOICE, IN THIS WORLD YOU SHALL FIND NO OPPONENTS TO MATCH YOUR STRENGTH, AS GREAT AS IT HAS GROWN OVER THE MILLENIA, AND WHILE YOUR DESCENDANTS STILL EXIST. YOU AND I ARE NO MORE THAN LEGEND, YOUR DAYS HERE ARE NUMBERED, BECAUSE EITHER YOU WILL SLEEP ONCE MORE THIS TIME FOR ALL ETERNITY, OR YOU SHALL LEAVE THIS WORLD FOR ANOTHER." said the Shinigami.

"And what world might this be, oujou, that your sister sent you to come meet me. It cannot be one under her control, as I can rip space to go to another with ease." said Naruto, giving the shinigami a feral grin.

"YOUR POWERS SHALL NOT WORK ON ME KYUUBI, GREAT YOU MAY BE BUT YOU MUST STILL KNOW YOUR PLACE. THE LAND IS THAT OF GREAT FRIENDS, TITANS OF OLD. TITANS YOU ONCE TRAINED, WHO ARE IN NEED OF SERVICES AND ASKED KAMI TO SEND HER AID. OUR SISTER CHOSE TO SEND YOU, HER GREATEST SERVANT AND HER LARGEST ASSET TO HELP THEM, AND SO IF YOU DO NOT GO I WILL PLACE YOU IN ETERNAL SLEEP, AS PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR CRIME." answered the Shinigami in a harsh voice.

"You really don't give me much of a choice oujou, so what do I need to know for this mission?" said Naruto, as he transformed into a human, six feet tall with long blond hair, in a hairstyle much like his sensei Jiraiya's.

"YOU WILL KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU REACH THE PLACE. YOUR ENEMY IS KNOWN AS THE BURNING LEGION. AS FOR KAMI'S ADVICE, SHE SAYS TO SEEK THE PRIESTESS TYRANDE, SHE WILL AID YOU." said the Shinigami as he waved his hand and Naruto crouched down in pain. He hated this part of the job, slowly he felt his body changing to what would be necessary for the mission, and then the portal was ripped open and he sent through it.

High Wilderness, Ferala, Azeroth:

Naruto was doubled over in pain as he waited for the last of the transformations to set in. Finally after about five minutes he was able to examine his body, which had been turned a weird hue of blue, and his hair had stayed blond. Looking at his clothes he noticed that the vast majority were torn, probably from him using his claws a little to liberally, but he would get rid of these and buy some native ones when he met this Tyrande that the shinigami had mentioned. Suddenly he heard voices coming closer, and he got up, struggling to keep himself in a fighting stance. When he saw that it was people of the race he seemed to belong to, he lowered his guard slightly. That was until one of them bow low.

"Huh?" was all that Naruto could say as he saw them bow, although he slowly returned the gesture.

"It is proper to bow when meeting another for the first time, I would have thought your parents would have taught you that." said the largest of the group.

"Sorry, I'm not from around here, and I'm kinda lost." said Naruto as he scratched the back of his head and gave the people his legendary grin.

"Well, I can see that, you do something that is rarely seen in Night Elves, although you are a strange one. I've never seen blond hair in one of our own, well no matter we'll take you to meet General Shandris, she'll know what to do." said the man, "Come on."

"Before I go, I need to ask, are you with the Burning Legion, because if you are....I am afraid I must decline, and deal with you as I would any enemy." said Naruto in a calm voice.

"So you're an enemy of the Legion, well that's perfect for us, that means you'll fit right in. Name's Alayna," said a female night elf, covered in a hard leathery armor, "I'm the leader of this party. I'll also be the one taking you back to the general, so come on and hurry up."

Alayna took out a horn and blew on it, and almost instantly a large white tiger came up to her, a saddle strapped on its back.

"This is Ronae, Ronae this is umm...." said Alayna.

"Naruto, Naruto Namikaze." said Naruto as he slowly approached the beast.

"Don't worry, he won't hurt you, he's actually quite friendly. We'll be riding him to Feathermoon Stronghold, otherwise it'll take us too long to get there." said Alayna.

"Umm.....no offence but I don't exactly trust that thing, it's talking about wanting to make me into its dinner and I would prefer not getting eaten." said Naruto shily, "I'll run, but I'll need you to keep up, I can be quite fast."

"I doubt you can outrun Ronae, not even the best rogues could outrun a full grown Frostsaber," said Alayna as she smirked at him, daring him to challenge her.

"Oh really? Well I must say then that big pussy cat must be much faster than he seems or your rogues are just slow. I'm pretty sure I can outrun that thing so how about we settle this in a bet?" said Naruto.

"Fine, If I win you have to buy me black dragon mail, and if you win....I'll do one thing for you no matter what." said Alayna.

"Are you sure you don't want to put any conditions on what I can ask for?" responded Naruto, as he grinned.

"Why would I? I know you can't win, so what would it matter." said Alayna cheekily.

"The simple fact that if you show me on a map exactly where we are, and where I need to go I'm 100 percent sure that I can beat you." said Naruto. The rest of the soldiers around Alayna and Naruto were extremely surprised at what was happening, both because of Naruto's boasting and because of the fact that Alayna was betting. She never bet, because she never lost. Alayna and Naruto though were both focused on a map which she had shown him, "this is where we are," she said pointing to a part of the forest, "and this...is where the general is." she finished, pointing to an outpost drawn on the map.

"Alright, well you can go whenever you want to, I'll start ten seconds after you." said Naruto as he grinned at her while she put the map away and climbed onto Ronae.

"I'll see you when you get there," said Alayna as she rushed Ronae forward. Naruto didn't even move, instead he was counting to ten beforee.....a bright flash of light and he had vanished.

When Alayna arrived at the outpost she saw Naruto waiting for her and he waved. Going up to him she got off of Ronae and the Frostsaber ran back into the forest.

"How'd you get here so quickly, it's nothing short of impossible." said Alayna.

"I was known a long time ago for doing what everyone else called impossible, as for how I got here," he said as he stepped closer slowly, "I think I'll keep that a secret."

Alayna looked at him in disbelief as he stepped closer again, making it so there was only a foot or so imbetween them.

"So what do you want from the bet?" asked Alayna, and he stopped dead in his tracks while he thought of something. Finally as something came to mind he held out his hand.

"Give me your hand," he said, and she did as he asked. Looking at her in the eyes he pulled her to him, so that their bodies were set against each other, and as she squealed from surprise he wrapped an arm around her back and kissed her. At first her eyes went wide open from surprise but eventually she closed them, flowing into the kiss as Naruto let her other arm go. Putting his other arm around her back, she responded by wrapping her arms around his neck softly until they heard someone say "A-hem."

Both of them jumped back from the shock and looked at the person that had interrupted them. Naruto's normally calm eyes flared slightly with anger, he hated it when he was interrupted before he mated. The woman that stood in front of the two of them was nothing short of gorgeous. Her long white hair shone in the light, and her eyes seemed to him that they would pierce anyone without the proper training.

"So I ask for aid, and I get a young nightelf. Typical of Kami," said the woman.

"So you're the one that asked for help? I'm surprised that you would make yourself known to me so quickly. Yes I am the one that Kami sent, but it isn't a good idea to underestimate me, I'm quite powerful in my own rights." responded Naruto.

"I do not disagree, Kami must have believed that you had the power to deal with it, but I personally do not agree with her sending one so young." continued the woman, "I think it would have been better if she sent the great Kyuubi she always brags about."

"Now is not the time to speak of these things Ancient. I was sent to deal with the threat of the Burning Legion, you may speak with me when we are in private, but these matters are private, and are between Kami, your kind, and myself. We will discuss this at length at another time, now if you'll excuse me I was enjoying myself." said Naruto, "And I'm not as young as you might think, just a fair warning."

"You would do well to remember your place, child. There are few alive that would dare to speak with me in such a manner, and fewer yet have earned the right." said the woman, "However, there is wisdom in your words. Seek out my priestess in Darnassus, tell her that the moon goddess sent you."

"Fine with me, Goddess. I must seek the priestess Tyrande anyway, why not take care of two birds with one stone?" said Naruto, and he smiled at the goddess baring his fangs. A smile that most would understand as a grin, but higher beings knew that it was meant as a challenge of position. Elune merely returned the gesture and disappeared.

Naruto turned back to Alayna to see her step back slowly before he appeared right in front of her, and kissed the girl lightly once more.....before he fell to the ground of exhaustion.
