Hello all! This is Gondor20, with a new story. I know...most of you are thinking "Why is he not updating his other story?" I have a few issues with it, and some of my favorite authors have given me some feedback and I looked at it. With the route I was going, the story was going to have ALOT of plot holes. For now, the story is on pause. I may redo the story some other time, but for now it's done.

This is a new story one of my friends asked me to do. We are a BIG fan of Dynasty Warriors and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. So, why not mix that and Naruto? This is the story.

As for pairings and bashing. It's a Zhuge Liang x Yue Ying. Also, some other pairings will be talked about. This story may have slight Konaha bashing too. If you don't like that, don't read the story. This is an AU story for both Dynasty Warriors and Naruto. Naruto is the main character, so don't flame. All will be told!

I do not own Naruto or Dynasty Warriors! They belong to whoever owns them!

Have fun and read..."The Sleeping Dragon and the Hidden Leaf".

Chapter One: The Life and Times of the Sleeping Dragon!

Zhuge Liang turned the page of his book. It was a book over weapon crafting. While he had no ambition to make a weapon, he liked to read anything. "Unlike when I was younger," he thought with a grin. He closed his eyes and thought on the events that have happen in the last few years.

Liu Bei now ruled the land. It has been a year since he defeated Cao Cao at Xu Chang. Wu was now has province under Shu, with Sun Quan as the governor. There had been a few close calls, like Guan Yu almost dying at Fan Castle. If Zhang Fei and he had not broken though Wu ranks, Guan Yu would have been killed. After Fan Castle, Liu Bei marched his entire army to Fan Castle and killed Cao Ren. From Fan Castle, came the battle of Xu Chang. Cao Cao was ready. He had traps ready on every street. Cao Cao even burned part of the city. In the end, Cao Cao was killed by Sima Yi who then he was killed by himself.

After Xu Chang, Wu has launched an attack on Luo Yang. The battle took place at Hu Luo Gate. Liu Bei had sent him and part of the Xu Chang Invasion Force to meet the Wu army. The Wu army was massive. While Shu and Wei were fighting, Wu built up their army. In the end, it was luck that had caused the Shu forces victory. When Wu attacked, it began to snow. A lot of their supplies were lost. His wife, Yue Ying, had beaten Sun Quan and forced him to run. "She was sexy looking after that fight," Zhuge Liang blushed at the thought. Soon after, Sun Quan surrendered to Liu Bei.

The land was at peace. People were very happy. He lived at the royal palace, along with his wife. He was the main advisor to Liu Bei and did most of the paperwork.

His personal life was also very well. Ying and he were happily married. They did not want children...yet. They both agreed to wait another year. He was broken out of his thoughts when the library door was opened. Liang looked up and saw his wife walking in with a bag. (She was wearing what she wore in DW 7).

"Hello my husband," she said with a large grin. She sat the bag on the table. "Here is what you asked for. Three things of black dye and some make-up. The dye was kinda of hard to get."

"Thank you. Can you put them in the bathroom?"

"Sure can. Oh, and remember. Lord Liu Bei has invited us to dinner tonight. You better get dress soon!" Zhuge Liang nodded and went back to reading his book. Yue Ying just smiled and went off to the bedroom to get ready. Life was good.

/ Konaha

Life was bad. Tsuande looked down at Jiraiya spy report. Iwa and Kumo have just joined into an alliance with Sound. Iwa and Kumo had a lot of bad blood with Konaha. This was not good. Konaha has had eight bad years. It all started eight years ago.

It started when a loyal ninja was exiled after doing his duty. Naruto had brought Sasuke back. When Sasuke was brought in, he was heavily injured. Naruto was fine for the most part, due to Kyuubi's charka. A lot of people used this against him. The council then put Naruto on trial. The verdict was obvious.

His own friends turned against him. Saukra and Ino berated him for hurting Sasuke. Kiba went along with his mother, who hated Naruto. Hinata would not talk to Naruto. It was not because she hated him or thought he was a monster. Her father disliked Naruto, so she spoke against him. Only Iruka, Jiraiya, Neji, Shikamaru, and she stood by Naruto. Not even Kakashi stood by him.

A few days after the trial, he was exiled. Naruto left in the middle of the night. He did not say good-bye to anyone. Both civilians and ninja rejoiced at his exiled. Civilians were happy that the demon was gone. The ninja were happy, because Akatsuki would not come to Konaha.

Things soon turned to the worst. Suna stopped trading with Konaha. They still had a defensive pact, but that was it. Wave would not deal with Konaha. Then, all the countries that were saved by Naruto, canceled treaties with them.

Now, Konaha was going to go to war against three villages. They were by themselves. Gaara would only send a few ninja to help them. Konaha stood alone. They needed help from anyone. She had sent ANBU teams out to find Naruto to bring him back, but they all came back empty handed.

They had one hope though. To the west was a land that few have been too. A place called "China". China for a long time has been in a state of Civil War. The war had ended a year ago. The kingdom called "Shu" had won. The lord of Shu was a kind man that many talked about. His name was Liu Bei. If she could form an alliance with him, Konaha would be safe. She called on the best team she had...the Rookie 11.

/

Neji walked along the street towards the Hokage tower. A lot of things have happened in the last eight years. Naruto was exiled. Two years later, he made ANBU. Three years later Hinata became Clan Head. Then, two years ago, he married Tenten. He had a child on the way too. A lot of the Rookies have married. Sasuke had married both Ino and Sakura. Shikamaru married Gaara's sister. Hinata married Kiba. Shino married some bug girl. Choji married Ayame, the ramen cook. Lee was still single.

He looked up and saw he was at the Hokage Tower. He walked into the hokage's office and saw everyone waiting on him. Tsunade nodded to him and looked at the rookies.

"Ok. You eleven are going on a mission. A few days ago Jiraiya sent me a very grim report. Iwa, Kumo, and Sound have joined together. This can't be good. I have already sent a letter to Gaara asking for help, but I don't think it will be enough. Since, Naruto's exile, we have lost a lot of allies. There is one hope. To the west, China's civil war has ended. A kind man, named Liu Bei won. You are being sent to China to try and get an alliance with him." She hands Sasuke a folder. "This contains a letter to him and mission details. Sasuke, you are in charge. You are to leave within the hour. Dismissed." The rookies nodded and soon left.

"God help us all," Tsunade thought.

/ Royal Palace: Zhuge Liang's Private Home.

Yue Ying smiled as she looked into the mirror. She wore a black dress and black high heels. Her hair was in a bun. She looked over to the bathroom door. Her husband went in to wash up. She turned to look at herself in the mirror.

Zhuge Liang walked out of the bathroom. His hair was shinny black. He wore a towel around his hip. Ying turned around and pointed to the bed in the middle of the room. Liang nodded and got dressed. (What he wore in DW 7).

"You look nice my flower," Liang said putting his arms around Ying.

"You look handsome, my husband." She kissed him on the check. Liang looked at himself in the mirror, and then with Ying left.

The couple enters the main dinning hall. Liu Bei and his wife sat at the head of the table. To his right was Guan Yu, along with Guan Ping. To his left were Zhang Fei and Xing Cai. Liu Bei looked up and smiled.

"My friend! Thanks for coming. Take a seat." Liu Bei pointed to the two open seats in front of him. "Now my close friends. It's been a long time since we have all sat down together. I want to say thank you to each one of you. My brothers...we have been through a lot. I remember when we first faced the yellow turbans. You two believed in me when I did not believe in me. Thank you two so much.

Zhuge Liang. My brothers helped me alot, but without you, we would not have been able to bring peace to this land. Hell, I would have been killed at Changban if you haven't helped me. We have not sworn an oath, but you are one of my brothers." Liu Bei picked up his glass. "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang rise your cups." Said men held up their glasses. "We, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang, were born of different surnames, yet we have come together as brothers. From this point forward, we shall join forces for a common purpose, and come to each other's aid in time of crisis. We shall protect our land and the people from all threats. We seek not to be born on the same day, in the same month and in the same year. We merely hope to die on the same day, in the same month and in the same year. From this day forward, we shall live, fight, and die as brothers." They all touched cups and said their names. "Now brothers, I have a grand feast to honor this oath."

The four brothers, along with their love ones, began to feast.

During the feast, Zhang Fei turned to Zhuge Liang. "Hey I got a question." Liang nodded. "Ok, so I've been thinking. What about your childhood and teenage days?" Everyone turned and look at Zhuge Liang. Yue Ying turned and looked at him too. Even she did not know of his childhood.

"Well...I was an orphan. I only learned about my parents when I was thirteen. I left my home when I was thirteen. I then became a student along with Pang Tong. Then you all know the rest." Everyone nodded and began to talk about different things.

/ After the party

Zhuge Liang and Yue Ying walked into their bedroom after the party. It was nice. Liu Bei had all different types of food and drink set out. Liang went to the bathroom to throw some water on his face. He walked out of the bathroom and saw his wife on the bed...in the nude.

"Ohhh. Liang I have something that needs some advice. Maybe one of your tactics can help." Zhuge Liang, the sleeping dragon, slept very little that night.

/ Next Morning

Zhuge Liang felt something against his chest. He looked down to see his red-head lover snuggling against him. He smiled and moved her to the side. He got off the bed and got dress in his normal outfit. He left the room to take his morning walk.

It was a cloudy morning, with some light fog. Zhuge Liang walked along the palace garden looking at the different flowers. The palace's garden had flowers and trees from all over China. As he walking, he heard metal against metal. He followed the sound until he saw the source.

Guan Yu was fighting his son, and Xing Cai. He was blocking everything they threw at him. Zhuge Liang watched them and saw their mistake. He decided to make his presence known.

"Guan Ping and Xing Cai. You two need to work together to fight Guan Yu. Neither of you could take him on alone." Guan Ping was about to shout until Guan Yu said something.

"He's right. Come at me together. You'll have a better chance against me. Think about my fight against Lu Bu." Guan Ping and Xing Cai charge together at Guan Yu. Zhuge Liang started to walk again. "I wish someone told me that when I was younger," Zhuge Liang thought.

A few minutes later, he came to a large group of trees. He sat in the middle and began to mediate.

Two hours later, Zhuge Liang heard someone running towards him. He opened his eyes and saw Wei Yan standing in front of him. "Yes?"

"Liu Bei...want...see you...now," he said. Zhuge Liang said thanks and went to the throne room.

/ With the Rookie 11

"Man, this place is so different then the Elemental Nations," Kiba said. The rookies all nodded. China was unlike anything they ever seen. The buildings were different. The people looked different too. Kiba looked over at Hinata.

She had a large frown on her face. "Like always," he thought. After Naruto's exile, Hinata blamed herself. She began training under her father. She soon became a typical Hyuuga. She even started to use the cage bird seal on people. Neji for the most part stopped talking to her after it.

His own life was fine. He had become clan head, and got into the bingo book as an S-rank nin. He was married to Hinata, who he loved. They were going to try for some children after everything was clam again.

Sasuke, who was in front, stopped. "Ok guys, we are almost there. Now, for a few rules. 1. Do not talk unless spoken to. 2. Treat Liu Bei with respect. Say "my lord". 3. Kiba, leave Akamaru out side." Kiba looked pissed. "Kiba we don't know how they view dogs. Ok, let's go."

/ Throne Room with Rookie 11

Sasuke walked towards the large throne. The room was simple, yet was warm. There were a lot of windows allowing sunlight to light the room. He looked at the throne. It was large and had two doors to each side. The man on the throne was kind looking. He had black hair, which was in a ponytail. He wore green robes on that covered his feet.

"Hello strangers! I'm Liu Bei. I'm always glad to meet new people. Now, what is it you wish to speak about," he said with a kind, warm smile. This made the Rookie 11 calm. Sasuke stepped forward and bowed.

"It is an honor to speak with you Lord Liu Bei. We come from the Elemental Nations, which lie to the east of China. Our home, Konaha, is in great danger. Our enemies are preparing to march upon us. Our leader, the Hokage, has asked for an alliance and help. She has written a letter for you, my lord." Sasuke handed Liu Bei a letter. Liu Bei opened and it and began to read. A few minutes later, he sits the letter on his lap.

"This is a grave. One against three. I would love to send you help, but I need to talk to someone first. Wei Yan!" Wei Yan came out from one of the side doors. "Tell Zhuge Liang I need to see him. He should be in the gardens." Wei Yan left and came back a few minutes later with Zhuge Liang.

/ Zhuge Liang P.O.V.

Zhuge Liang came in and saw Liu Bei with a worried face. Liang also saw the Rookie 11. His eyes widen when he saw them. He felt a frown growing on his face. "Keep calm. Make sure your face is without emotion," he thought. Taking a breath, he moved towards Liu Bei. "You called, my lord?"

"Ah brother, I need you to look at this." Liu Bei handed him the letter. Zhuge Liang began to read the letter to himself. When he looked up, he had a cold look on his face. "What do you think? I want to send help."

"No. That is a poor choice." The rookies look horrified. Kiba was about to say something, but Liu Bei spoke first.

"Why not?"

"We have just gotten out of the civil war. Soldiers, turned farmers, need time to plant crops. The people are happy, and it's peaceful. If we go into this war, we will be wasting resources. Also, this war does not involve us."

"But what of our oath?" This made Zhuge Liang silent. "Our oath is to protect the people. Konaha is in trouble. But you are right. We just don't have the resources to go to war, but I have an idea. We will send three of our best officers to help you. These three are like an army. Zhuge Liang, I know who I will send!"

/ Two Hours Later

Zhuge Liang has a large frown on his face. He was one of the three to go to Konaha. The only good thing was that Yue Ying was also coming. He turned to his other team mate, Huang Zhong, the old man. Huang Zhong was in his normal gear. (DW 6 Gear, with the bow.) He had a large hawk on his shoulder, to send message back to Chengdu in case of emergency. The Rookie 11 was ready to head home.

Zhuge Liang turned to Yue Ying, who was checking both of their backpacks. She looked up and gave him a soft smile. "Don't worry dear. This is going to be over quick." Zhuge Liang sighed and picked up his pack.

"So, how long to Konaha," he asked. Ino turned around.

"About a week if we have little rest." Zhuge Liang sighed again. "What's your problem?"

"You," he mumbled. Yue Ying gave him a dirty look.

"Excuse my husband, he is a little sick. He is normally nicer. I think we should head off now." Everyone agreed and the group began the long journey back the Hidden Leaf.

/ Later that night at Camp

Zhuge Liang looked at the large moon in the sky. He had many things going through his head about his upcoming adventures. So, many emotions mixing together. Fear, anxiety, and hate. Hate for what they did to him. He felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He turned around and came face to face with his wife.

"What's wrong," she asked in a soft voice. "I've never seen you this way in a long time."

"It's...nothing. I'm not feeling well." His wife looked at him with a cautious look. "I'm heading to bed. Night." He kissed her and then went to their tent.

"What is he hiding," she asked herself. She made her way to a large fire in the middle of the camp and sat down next to Tenten.

"So, what's up with him," Sasuke asked.

"He says nothing is wrong, but I can tell when he's lying," she replies.

"Any idea why he is so...cold to us," Saukra asked.

"No clue." Everyone was silent for the rest of the night.

/ Unknown

Two large red silted eyes opened. "Hmmmmm. So, he is going back to his birth place. This may just be my chance to break free. Watch out Sleeping Dragon, the great Kyuubi no Kitsune will soon be free." An evil chuckle rang through the hall.

And DONE! Thanks for read. Errors? Comments? Please leave a review. I will try and update once a week to every other week. Thanks and see you next time. Here's a preview of the next chapter!

Hmmmmmm. Back here again. This place has not changed much. Look at their happy faces...the same faces that have caused me pain in my childhood. Calm, Zhuge Liang, I must not let my emotions cloud my mind.

Chapter Two: The Dragon Arrives!
