Chapter 2: To Darkshore…
It was morning in Konoha; it was the second day since Uzumaki Naruto had been attacked by someone and disappeared without any trace. Jiraiya just arrived in Konoha; he shook his head as he knew what will happen when the old hag finds out. As he was walking down the streets of Konoha he was formulating a plan, a excuse as to why Naruto was missing.
Just then there was a puff and an ANBU appeared in front of Jiraiya. "The Hokage wants to see you Jiraiya-sama." he said disappearing again.
Knowing that there was nothing else left to do Jiraiya disappeared in a puff of smoke only to arrive a few seconds later in the Hokage's office in front of Tsunade who was awake and doing paperwork. When the Hokage heard the puff of smoke she glanced in front of her and saw Jiraiya but no Naruto. She brought her hands to her chin and waited.
"Well?" she asked after a few moments of silence.
"Well what?" asked Jiraiya trying to buy some time
"First off all how was the trip? Second where is Naruto?" she asked
Jiraiya started to sweat and of course that didn't go unnoticed by Tsunade. "Well the trip was uneventful and we did everything according to plan with no interruption."
"So that means that you managed to teach Naruto everything that was necessary"
"Yes." responded Jiraiya
"What about the Akatsuki, did you find any information about them?" she asked
"I found out that in a few months they will start moving out to capture the jinchuuriki and extract the bijuu's."
"So that leaves Naruto a few more months till they come for him." the Hokage said and Jiraiya nodded. "But do tell me where is Naruto."
"Umm…well you see…" he said sweating
Tsunade started to laugh. "He is at Ichiraku isn't he?"
Jiraiya started sweating even more. "Well…"
Tsunade stopped laughing and saw how nervous Jiraiya is and started to suspect something. "Jiraiya…where is Naruto…"
"Umm…."
---With Naruto---
The bird's where singing, the sun was up, it was morning. Naruto could feel the rays of the sun on his face and smiled lightly. His eyes slowly opened and the memories from yesterday replayed in his head. His smile disappeared and he shot out of the bed and got dressed as fast as he could. He ran out of the inn and straight to the building in which he went last night. When he arrived at the door he saw the two guards from last night, he wondered how come they where still able to stay awake.
"Good morning boy." said a guard
"Good morning." responded Naruto "Is it possible to talk to the captain?" he asked uncertain
"It depends." said the second guard
Naruto looked at him questionable. "On what?" he asked politely
"Well she is talking with someone now and it depends if she will be able to talk to you too."
"Oh…" said Naruto "May I ask who she is talking to?"
The guards nodded. "With a druid she brought back last night."
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "Could I go in? I know who the druid is." he said alarmed
The guards looked at him before they nodded and let him pass. Naruto opened the door and stepped in, unlike last night the two guards weren't present in the room, when he looked around he saw the captain on her feet in front of someone who had his back at her and was studying a book from one of the bookshelves.
"What where you thinking?" she yelled at him angrily
"Silveneah, please calm down." said the man flipping a page from the book
"Calm down? Calm down? Why should I? You could have died!" she yelled
"But I didn't, it takes more to bring me down." he told her calmly
Silveneah started shaking; she hit the book throwing it on the ground. "What would have happened if they did manage to kill you?"
That got the man's attention; he turned to her and looked at her with kindness in his eyes. "Never talk like that."
"But you went up against three undead...three…" she said as she started sobbing.
The man who now Naruto recognized as Zagark moved to the captain and took her in his arms hugging her "I know, but remember that I faced much worse"
"Like what?" she asked between sobs
"If you remember I had to face Ragnaros in the depths of the earth, you do remember who he is right? The Firelord" he said calmly
Silveneah stiffened for a second. "Yes…" she said with a low voice "I remember…"
"And I got out of it with no problems…right?"
"Yes…" she said tears still falling down her eyes
Zagark took her chin and raised her head to look in his eyes. "Now please calm down…I don't die easily."
The captain nodded and lowered her head again, Zagark pulled her back in the hug and turned his head to Naruto and smiled underneath his mask.
"Good morning my young companion." he said cheerfully
"Hey…" said Naruto
"So how did you sleep?" asked the druid.
"Fine, I guess…I was a little worried." he told him
Zagark chuckled. "You weren't the only one." he told Naruto glancing at Silveneah "Why don't you take a seat?" he asked Naruto
Naruto nodded and sat down on one of the chairs near the window. Zagark parted slowly from the hug and looked at the captain whose head was still down; he put his hand on her shoulder and guided her to her chair. After she was sitting down Zagark went and picked up the book and put it back in the shelf and took a seat in front of the captain.
"You alright?" he asked her, the captain gave a nod and looked back at the elf. "Good" he told her smiling
Silveneah smiled back and looked at Naruto. "So how did you meet the boy?" she asked him
"I found him in Winterspring in the snow, he was attacked by bears." said Zagark
Naruto scratched the back of his head grinning sheepishly. The captain shook her head giggling.
"What?" asked Zagark
"Oh nothing…" she lied "So tell me what you are doing here?"
"Can't someone visit an old friend?" he asked pretending to be hurt
"Zagark don't do that, you where here a few weeks ago." said the captain shaking her head
"Well we are heading to Darnassus and Astrannar was in the way, besides I left Nightwalker in the stables here." confessed the druid
"Oh your cute companion…" said Silveneah in a tone like she was almost squealing "He was so nice…"
"He didn't cause trouble I hope."
"No not at all…" said the captain "But I hope you don't mind that I took him out for hunting on several occasions." she confessed.
Zagark shrugged. "I know he is in good hands if he is hunting with you." he told her making the captain blush lightly
"So anything else as to why you are here?"
"Yes, do you know how the roads to Darkshore are?" asked Zagark
"Only minor attacks from the Twilight faction and the Naga, except for that nothing else" replied the captain
"Alright…then I guess we are good to go…" said Zagark
"Already?" jumped the captain
"Sorry, but we need to get to Darnassus fast."
"I know." said Silveneah with her head down "Can't you stay a little longer?"
"Well I guess we can leave after noon." stated Zagark with his hand under his chin
The captain smiled. "Alright because I need to show you something, meet me at the hippogriffs in an hour?"
"Sure." said Zagark standing up, he turned to Naruto "Come I will teach you something in the mean time."
Naruto's eyebrow rose. "Teach me?"
"Yes, come with me." said Zagark walking out the door followed by Naruto
A few minutes later they where at the bank of the river, behind them where buildings, Zagark glanced over the land and turned to Naruto and smiled.
"Well Naruto, how would you like to learn how to make roots come out of the ground?" he asked the boy
Naruto's eyebrow rose once again. "Make roots come out of the ground?" he asked not understanding
The druid nodded. "Let me demonstrate." the druid them brought his hands together, he departed them and placed his right foot in front of his left now facing Naruto and bent down a little, he brought his right hand in front of his chest and his left hand near his left leg, he started chanting something Naruto didn't understand and green swirls appeared in his hands, he opened his palms and moved them a little towards Naruto. The green swirls disappeared, Naruto thought nothing had happened for a second, then he felt something underneath him and a root shot from the ground grabbing his left leg, another came out grabbing his right leg, another one came grabbing his chest and then two more grabbing his arms. Zagark them with his right hand extended to Naruto started closing his fist, Naruto felt like the roots where closing on his body trying to break his bones (1). Naruto closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, then the roots dropped on the ground and Naruto opened his eyes and saw the druid standing straight looking at him and smiling.
"Sorry I hurt you, but if I would completely close my fist your bone would crack and you might die."
"What was that?" asked Naruto amazed
"That is called Entangling roots and it does just what the name says."
Naruto nodded. "So how do I do it?"
"Well for starters you need to imagine roots coming out of the ground and entangling your target, second you need to focus on the ground and third you need to know the words. But the third step is optional." responded Zagark
"What do you mean optional?"
"I mean that this spell doesn't quite require for you to chant being able to use it."
"Oh…" said Naruto
"Well if you want you can start." said the druid sitting down "Use that post over there." he told Naruto pointing to a post to Naruto's right side.
Naruto nodded and got in the same position the druid was and closed his eyes, he imagined the roots coming out and entangling the post, he then sent chakra in the ground, he opened his eyes and continued to imagine the roots coming out but nothing happened. He kept sending chakra in the ground but nothing would happen.
"You are an idiot brat." said a deep demonic voice in Naruto's mind
"Kyuubi?" asked Naruto blinking
"Who else do you expect to be in this hell hole?" spat the fox annoyed
Naruto ignored Kyuubi and started to concentrate again trying to make the spell as the druid called it work.
"It will never work because you aren't a spell user idiot." said Kyuubi getting bored
"Like you know." retorted Naruto
"Yes I do…if you would take my advice then listen to me and do some hand seals and call a name for the jutsu while imagining what that elf told you to."
Naruto mentally shrugged and started thinking of hand signs.
Zagark who was looking at the time over Naruto felt another presence stirring inside the boy; he raised an eyebrow when he saw the boy spacing out. He also felt that the presence was, not natural, like something had happened to it.
"A spirit?" the druid asked himself "An animal of some sort." he thought again looking at Naruto "It seems restless…something is tampering with the sprit." he thought once again trying to understand what he was feeling "I should ask the Archdruid when we get to Darnassus…and the boy."
An hour passed fast, Naruto didn't manage to do anything. The druid looked at the sky and sighed; he got up and walked to the blonde boy.
"I will be back soon." he told him
"Ok." said Naruto with his eyes still closed.
The druid smiled, he liked that the boy was perseverant. He turned around and started walking to the hippogriffs whatever that was.
A few minutes later Naruto came up with some hand signs, he taught again and when he was sure they where right he started doing them. When he was done he called out the name of the jutsu which he thought should remain the same as the name of the spell. "Entangling roots" said Naruto moving his opened palm towards the post, slowly roots started to come out of the post entangling the post, then Naruto started to close his hand into a fist, the roots started to close on the post, cracking sounds could be heard, when Naruto's fist was closed the roots where entangled so hard on the post it looked like the post was actually broken in pieces and when the roots would disappear the wood will fall on the ground. Naruto smirked and opened his palm and let his hand drop down. Then roots receded in the ground leaving the post barely standing up and all cracked.
---Konoha, Hokage office---
At the moment Jiraiya could be found on the ground rubbing his head, his left eye was black. At the table you could see a red Tsunade, but not because she was embarrassed or anything like that, she was fuming, she was angry and beyond pissed.
"Who attacked him?" demanded Tsunade
"I already told you, I do not know."
Tsunade let out killing intent and gritted her teeth. "Someone must have attacked him and he must have left a trail." she said angry
"I already checked the place, there is nothing that leads to anyone just some strange markings and black shadows rising from the ground." said Jiraiya standing up
"I want you to take a team and investigate." demanded Tsunade
"And what should I take?"
"I don't know anyone that can understand markings or who knows."
"Now even you don't know what you are saying." said Jiraiya chuckling
"If I wore you I'd be careful to what I say." said Tsunade dangerously making Jiraiya's chuckle stop
"Ok I understand." said Jiraiya shaking under her gaze
"Good, take whomever you think is capable and bring back results." said Tsunade
"Right away." said Jiraiya disappearing
Tsunade then turned to the window and gazed outside. "Where are you Naruto?" she asked herself.
---Somewhere in Sound---
Sasuke was fuming, he was angry, Orochimaru dared to interrupt his training, and for what? He asked himself. Actually not even he knew what he was called for. He shrugged and stepped into the snakes' throne room.
"You called Orochimaru-sensei?" he asked
"Yes, it seems I located Itachi even if it was for a few moments." said Orochimaru grinning
Sasuke's Sharingan flared. "Where?" he demanded
"It seems he had attacked your old teammate Naruto." said the snake chuckling
"I don't care about that idiot, where is Itachi, I hope he didn't kill him."
Orochimaru stopped chuckling and looked at Sasuke. "No he is not dead, but your old teammate…" he stopped to see how the boy would react
Sasuke's Sharingan stopped flaring and he was now looking questionable at Orochimaru "The dope didn't die…did he?" he thought "I need to fight the dope, he can't die." Sasuke glared at Orochimaru demanding to know what happened
"Well Sasuke-kun, my spies tell me that Itachi engaged Naruto when he was gathering firewood."
Sasuke's eyebrow rose. "Why would my brother attack the dope?"
"Don't you know?" mocked Orochimaru
"Know what?" hissed Sasuke
"Oh about the truth." said Orochimaru in a mocking tone
"What truth?" demanded Sasuke hissing with his Sharingan activated.
"That the Kyuubi isn't dead…it never was dead, it was sealed inside a blonde boy named Uzumaki Naruto."
Sasuke stared at Orochimaru. "Don't lie to me." he said dangerously, he saw Orochimaru grinning, the foolish snake was thinking that he can't defeat him, how wrong he was.
"Oh I am not fooling you, you see no one can defeat Kyuubi so the only way to stop him is to seal him away, which is what exactly happened." said Orochimaru grinning
Sasuke's Sharingan deactivated. "That doesn't explain…"
"Itachi?" asked Orochimaru "But it does, you see he is part of a organization called Akatsuki who track down the nine bijuu's, Akatsuki capture the containers called jinchuuriki and extract the bijuu's, too bad that the jinchuuriki die when the process is over." he said pretending to be sad
The information shocked Sasuke lightly, and then he remembered the battle at the Valley of the End when Naruto used the strange chakra and he demanded to have it, and his ex-teammate told him he would give him if he could because it was a curse for him and it would be for anyone that would have it.
"And what happened to Naruto?" asked Sasuke
"My spies tell me that Itachi tried a jutsu to immobilize him but did the jutsu wrong and…" Orochimaru paused to find the right words "…vaporized him." he said with a sadistic smile
Sasuke flinched. "He's dead?" he asked with no emotion
"I don't think so, from what it looks he was 'teleported' somewhere, or who knows." said Orochimaru shrugging.
Sasuke turned his head to the side and started thinking; he turned around and started leaving. "I'm going back to train." he told the snake
When Sasuke was out of the room he started to ponder, for the first time in three years he was concern for Naruto, no scratch that, for the first time since the massacre he started to get concerned over someone.
"I wonder where the dope is." thought Sasuke as he was walking down the dark hallway.
---With Naruto---
Naruto was standing on the grass looking up at the sky, he had practiced for an hour and finally broke the post and had nothing else to do, and he didn't want to do any other jutsu as to not arise questions for him and Zagark. He heard foot steps and turned his head slightly to where the sound was coming from. When he looked he saw the druid there smiling at him.
"So did you do it?" he asked
Naruto nodded and the druid looked at the post and saw it in pieces, he looked back at Naruto and smiled.
"Well if you are done lets go and eat, we will need to leave in thirty minutes."
"Yatta!" yelled Naruto jumping up and running up to the druid. "Do you have any ramen?" he asked
The druid raised an eyebrow. "Ramen? What is that?"
Naruto's eyes went wide. "You don't know what Ramen is?" he asked not believing
The druid shook his head. "Never heard of it"
"It's like noodles with meat." tried to explain Naruto
Zagark brought his hand to his chin, he shook his head. "Sorry Naruto, we don't have noodles, but you can find them in the Eastern Kingdoms, across the sea."
Naruto frowned. "Then what are we going to eat?" he asked
"Come with me." said the druid smiling "We have our own specialties."
Naruto nodded and followed the druid, a few moments later they entered in what looked like a small restaurant. They sat at a table near the window. After a few minutes a waitress came.
"May I take your order?" she asked kindly
"Could we have a menu first?" asked the druid "My companion is new to this food." he said pointing to Naruto
"Of course." said the waitress handing them a menu "I'll be back soon" she told them and left
Naruto opened the menu and looked inside, there was a wide variety of food, and he even found fish sticks. He decided he would have that. After about ten minutes the waitress came back.
"So what will it be?" she asked
"I will have the fish sticks." said Naruto
"I will take the fish sticks as well with vegetable delight." said the druid
The waitress nodded and left. After staying in a few minutes of silence Naruto spoke.
"Zagark?"
"Yes…" responded the druid
"Umm…is the captain her your girlfriends?" he asked not sure
The druid chuckled. "No Naruto, she is not and never was, she is a good friend."
"Oh…"
"What gave you that idea?" he asked
"Well its how she acted with you and how you acted with her." he said sincerely
"Ah it's understandable, but no we acted like that because…well…she really was afraid to lose me." he said with a tint of sadness in his voice
"Why is that?" asked Naruto
"Well you see, when war broke here years ago her family and friends went to fight the threat and they all died." he said making Naruto flinch a little and lower his head "And she lost almost everything."
"She doesn't have any family members alive anymore?" asked Naruto with sadness in his voice
"She only has a little sister as family left, and for friends…she has me, we know each other for a long time and I was always there to support her so that's why she was so scared to lose me, and then she has two more friends still alive but they disappeared mysteriously."
"Oh…" said Naruto "I understand."
Zagark saw the boy was sad. "There is no need to be sad Naruto; things like death are bound to happen."
"I know, but it's just that…" Naruto stopped as their food came; they started eating and didn't talk the entire time.
When they where done the druid paid for their food, Naruto saw that he paid with some sort of silver coins. They left the restaurant and headed towards the north-east where a second bridge was that would allow them to cross the lake and continue their journey.
As they where walking down the street Zagark turned and entered a building that looked like a stable, when Naruto looked inside he saw strange animals, they looked like cats but they where much bigger, had big canines, some had some sort of armor on them while other just a plain cloth on their backs. A few minutes later the druid came out followed by a black cat with white stripes that was as big as Naruto, had big canines that would be able to kill almost anything instantly; the cat also had a strange armor on the head, body and legs. The cat approached Naruto and smelled him, Naruto stiffened.
"Don't worry, Nightwalker won't hurt you." he told the boy
"What cat is this?" he asked shakily
Zagark chuckled. "This is not a cat, well he is close to a cat but he is known as a nightsaber, like a panther if you wish."
Naruto nodded. "And is he your pet?"
The druid chuckled again. "You can say that, but he is more as my traveling companion, he is like a horse if you want."
Now Naruto understood, the druid used the strange cat to ride it like a horse. Well the cat looked to be somewhere close to the size of a horse if not a little bigger and more massive.
"Well lets go." said Zagark moving away followed by the cat and lastly Naruto
When they arrived at the bridge they where greeted by the captain of the town and her own cat, it was as big as the druid's but it was white with gray stripes and it also had the same armor as Zagark's.
"Hello Silveneah." said Zagark "What are you doing?"
"I'm coming with you." she said
"Why?"
"Because I'm sick and tired of hearing my friends disappear on the battlefield, one day I will be left alone with no one, I can't take it anymore." she said angry
"And do you think anything would change if you come with us?" asked the druid
"At least if I come with you I know I have a friend near me, you are the last one, everyone else is dead." she said with a sad voice "Besides my sister is in Darnassus so I will be able to visit her too."
"But what about your post here in Astrannar?" asked Zagark
"I promoted one of the guards, he was suppose to take my spot next month anyway." she said shrugging
Zagark shook his head. "I guess there is no way I can convince you to stay right?"
"No…" she said smiling
"At least you brought you armor and sword."
"I brought everything I have." she said
It was then that Naruto saw how she was dressed; it is true she had what Zagark explained him plate armor made out of the strongest minerals. The former captain of Astrannar had a shoulder guard in the design of a semi-circle; she had metal gloves with the design of an eagle on them. On the chest she had plate armor, but it looked strange, it put her cleavage in evidence, the armor was like a bra only that it went down and stopped above her belly. Her pants where the normal design but they where made again from plate, the armor had a grayish color. Naruto found himself staring at the woman in front of him. She sensed the stare and turned to the boy and giggled at him.
"What can I say, this is my best armor?" she said turning her head. Her silver hair reached down to her bust.
Zagark shook his head. "I told you to get a new armor"
"Like when?" she scowled "You don't like how I look?" she asked teasingly
"I don't understand why you woman have to dress like that."
Silveneah shrugged and got up on her cat. "So where to?" she asked smiling
"Darkshore." responded Zagark bluntly
"Where is that?" asked Naruto
"Follow me and you will see." replied Zagark smiling
Naruto grinned and followed the druid across the bridge; they now had a new companion. Naruto and Zagark where walking in front with Nightwalker behind them and lastly Silveneah on her cat moving at their pace.
As they where walking Naruto saw animals he recognized, such as deer's, wolves, and bears. But he also saw the animals or whatever they where, they looked like the ones from Felwood, when he asked Zagark if they where related he told them that in a way yes but this ones where much more aggressive and would attack anyone.
A few moments later the ground started to descend, they walked pass two pylons that formed a gate and when Naruto looked in front of him he saw a large building about forty meters tall.
"Maestra's post." said Zagark
"Huh?" asked Naruto
"This is Maestra's post…" responded the druid pointing to the building "This served as a watch tower and it still servers."
When they finished their descent on the road they where greeted by more night elves, Zagark explained that they where the post's guards. The passed the post and continued their march, after a few hours they stopped abruptly. In front of them was a rider that stood on a horse whose legs where on flames and it's coma as well. The rider had a black hood and a green with black robe that covered his entire body. When Naruto looked at the riders face he saw two red dots and his mind flashed back to the undead. He got in fighting position and was about to attack when the rider spoke.
"I've finally found you." the rider said in a dark voice "It took me a long time to track you down Zagark."
"I'm that hard to find?" he asked
The rider nodded. "I am here to give you something." the rider told the druid reaching in his robe
Naruto was about to attack, Zagark saw this and stopped him. "You don't have to worry Naruto, she is a friend."
Naruto looked at the druid. "She?"
Zagark nodded. "Kylia, would you remove your hood please?"
"Certainly." the rider said, this time the voice was softer and warmer. When the rider removed her hood it revealed a young woman around the age of eighteen with brown eyes and long black hair. She smiled at Naruto. Naruto then noticed that she had the same shirt that the druid had with a skull on it.
"How come you have the same shirt like Zagark?" asked Naruto
The two looked at each other and then at their shirts. Zagark chuckled. "We are from the same organization." he told Naruto
"Organization?" asked Naruto tensing "What do you do in that organization?"
"We fight the undead, the Scourge and the Burning Legion." said the woman called Kylia
"So you are good guys?" asked Naruto un-tensing
"Yes…" responded Zagark
"Now…" said Kylia taking a crystal from her robe "This is what you needed right?"
The druid nodded. "Yes, a red prismatic crystal."
"Alright and here is my dept." she said throwing a small bag to the druid. "300 gold."
"Thanks, where are you going now?" asked Zagark
"The Zoram Strand." she told them
"Why there?" asked Silveneah
"It seems like the Naga have become more active recently there and I am to investigate."
Zagark nodded. "Well be careful alright?"
Kylia nodded. "Will be, I will see you again ok?"
"Of course." said the druid. Kylia put her hood back and turned towards the forest and disappeared behind the trees.
"Umm…" said Naruto "What are Naga?"
"The Naga used to be Night Elf's until something happened which I am not going to get into detail." said Zagark "But I can tell you how they look, you see, the Naga generally have a humanoid torso with a snake tail in place of their legs. The males appear more serpentine. The female still look elven, but can have four or more arms, and possibly fins for hair."
"And they aren't friendly anymore" added Silveneah
Naruto nodded. After that the group continued their march, after walking a little more the environment started to change again, the trees became darker and so did the ground but it still held the living touch.
Naruto was studying everything around him, the place looked darker than Ashenvale, and maybe this is why they called it Darkshore. Zagark looked up at the sky and saw it was getting dark, he told the group they would stop for the night even tough they where only a few hours away from the next village. They left the road and entered the woods, a few moments later they arrived in a clearing. Zagark and Silveneah took out some blankets; Zagark took out one more, clearly for Naruto and gave it to the blonde boy. He then walked into the forest and came back a few minutes later with fire wood. They started a fire to keep them warm.
"You should sleep Silveneah, tomorrow we have a long way." Zagark told the woman, she nodded without protesting and unfolded her blanket and placed it near the fire and went to sleep. When the druid was sure she was sleeping he turned to Naruto.
"Could you answer me a question?" he asked
"Umm…sure"
"Who is inside of you?" asked the druid startling Naruto "What spirit do you carry?"
Naruto's eyes went wide; he didn't want him to know about Kyuubi, what if he would do something like the villagers. He started to hesitate, gaping.
The elf saw this and smiled at Naruto underneath his mask. "I'm here to help, you can tell me I won't harm you."
Naruto sighed. "I don't know that for sure."
"Why are you so afraid to talk about it?" asked Zagark
"It's because I was always shunned because of him, because people thought I was what I am carrying and that I am a demon."
"I see…" said the druid "Well I can't force you to tell me but if you do tell me I promise I won't do anything like that, I understand people and judge before acting."
Naruto sighed and nodded. "Well it's like this, fifteen years ago my village was attacked by a 9-tailed fox demon, the strongest of the tailed demons, when it attacked the village leader, the fourth Hokage had no choice but to seal the demon in a new born baby since he couldn't defeat it." Naruto paused. "He wanted to child to be seen as a hero for the burden, but people shunned him and taught their children to do the same, I grew up alone helped just a little by a few people that knew I wasn't a demon." Naruto paused again and sniffed. "But there wore those that wanted to kill me, for twelve years I was beaten to near death situations…" he chocked a little, he was holding back tears "After I graduated the ninja academy I got some friends and then more and more but one day I fear that they will shun me if they find about the fox, Kyuubi."
Zagark nodded, the boy carried the spirit of a demon fox with nine tails. "You know why I asked that?"
"No." Naruto said quietly
"It's because I felt the fox, and there is something strange about it."
Naruto looked up. "What do you mean?"
"I can feel that the spirit of the fox is…controlled or something, I don't know how to say it." he explained
"What do you mean controlled?"
"I mean that something is making the fox evil."
Naruto stood in silence to think, they stood in silence for what seemed hours. Then the elf let out a yawn and lay down to sleep, after he closed his eyes he said one last thing.
"You should know, I don't think of you as a demon, you still are a human boy. My opinion on you hasn't gone down."
With that he fell asleep; Naruto smiled but then the smile faded when he thought about what the druid told him about Kyuubi, that he was being controlled. He sighed; he didn't know what to think anymore. He lay down as well and let darkness take over him.
The next morning Naruto woke up to the smell of something cooking. When he opened his eyes he saw Silveneah cooking some fish, she was in the same armor like last time, she bent down to take another fish from the ground exposing a little more of her cleavage, Naruto felt blood coming out of his nose and fainted.
After a few minutes he woke up to see a cat with long pointy ears like a elf's looking at him.
"Ah!" Screamed Naruto jumping up, he then heard the cat chuckle
"Zagark, I told you not to scare him." said Silveneah who was sitting on the ground.
"Sorry I couldn't help myself." said the cat that scared Naruto
"Zagark?" asked Naruto not sure.
The cat nodded. "Remember when I said that druids can change to animals?" he asked and Naruto nodded. "Well this is one of the animals I can change into." he said
"Zagark did you look around?" asked the woman
"Yes, I didn't sense anyone, only some harmless animals." responded the cat
"Alright, then I guess we wait for you and Naruto to eat and then we are set to go."
The cat nodded, it suddenly started to grow, the tail slowly disappeared and the cat completely changed. Now instead of the cat stood the night elf known as Zagark, the elf took two cooked fish; he gave one to Naruto and started eating the other one. Naruto followed suit.
"Naruto." said the druid
"Hm?"
"When we get to Darnassus we are going to talk to the Archdruid."
"Archdruid?" asked Naruto "What is that?"
"The Archdruid is the most powerful druid in the world." he responded "The most powerful alive that is."
Naruto nodded. When they where done eating they packed everything and made sure they erased the fact that someone had been there last night.
They left the woods and arrived on the road once again, they continued their travel to the next town called Auberdine. This town was a port town; from there they would take a boat to a nearby island called Teldrassil were the capital city of the night elves is.
As they were walking night elf's on armored cats passed them coming from the direction in which they where heading. Naruto looked at his two companions who frowned.
"It seems that the priestess is on alert again." said Zagark with a sigh
"Priestess?" asked Naruto
"Yes, our leader is a female priestess, follower of Elune." explained Silveneah
"That reminds me." said Naruto "Who is Elune?"
Silveneah's eyes went wide. "You don't know?" she choked and Naruto shook his head.
Zagark chuckled and decided to explain. "Elune is the major deity worshipped by the night elves. She is associated with the larger of Azeroth's two moons, the White Lady."
"Elune is the only true goddess in the world, and the most powerful Eternal in Azeroth. In the world's infancy, she protected all living things and allowed them the chance to grow and thrive. Whenever she found violence, she would cast her calming influence across the land so that peace and healing might be given another chance to thrive." said Silveneah to Naruto
"Thus it was for many centuries, until arcane energy began to leak into the world through the Well of Eternity. Despite her attempts to guide them away, she watched in horror as her spiritual children were drawn to the Well and seduced by its power. Though her companion Malorne and their child Cenarius joined her faithful among the Kaldorei in an attempt to stave off the arrival of the Burning Legion, the demons spilled across the land in a wave of death and destruction that even the moon goddess could not prevent." explained the druid sadly gazing at the sun
Silveneah decided to continue. "Just as she felt she had once again accomplished her task and brought Azeroth toward a new era of peace, the human kingdoms fell under the corrupting influence of high elven magic, and crumbled into chaos. Shortly thereafter, the orcish Horde came to Azeroth and sparked a new era of warfare that threatens to consume the world like the War of the Ancients did so long ago."
"Elune never engages in combat of any kind, nor does she allow it to occur in her presence. Though she never physically manifests in the world of mortals, when she involves herself in a violent situation she arrives invisibly and undetected using her song of peace to calm the combatants until sunrise." explained Zagark
"Do you understand who she is?" asked Silveneah
"Yeah, I guess I do, she is a powerful god."
"Exactly."
"But what is the Well of Eternity?" asked Naruto
"I think you need to explain this Zagark." said Silveneah
"Alright…" said Zagark "The Well of Eternity is a massive pool of water infused with raw mana at the base of the World Tree. Coveted by demons, warlocks and many mages, the well is the greatest source of arcane magic in the world. While the World Tree's powers have suppressed the corrupting nature of this magic for centuries, if the tree were ever destroyed, this Well would be the source of unfathomable power to an evil creature powerful enough to wield it."
"Oh…I see." said Naruto
The rest of the journey was done in silence, Naruto had no more questions, or at least for now. After hours or walk they finally arrived at the next town, of course buildings like the last ones only that this one had a port and Naruto could see in the distance three ships.
Zagark and Silveneah started walking towards the port followed by Naruto. They entered the ports main building and fond out that the next boat to Teldrassil will leave in an hour. They went on the docks and found the boat, it was big; about 1000 people would fit with no problem inside.
Silveneah took the two cats onboard, Zagark and Naruto where about to board when they heard someone calling for them. They turned around and saw a strange man with a black robe and a … scythe on his back.
Zagark casually walked towards him followed by Naruto, when they where face to face Naruto could feel the man's aura was strange.
"What do you want?" asked Zagark
"I piece of warning." said the man
"Warning?" asked Naruto "For what?"
"Don't worry boy, I have a warning for you as well." said the man
Naruto gazed at the scythe, it was radiating a dark energy, a energy that said and had death written all over it.
"Speak then." said Zagark
"You druid, you will meet death in front and if you aren't careful you will die." said the man with no emotion
The man then turned to Naruto. "You boy, will find someone and when Death will stalk that someone you will have to chose."
"What does that mean?" asked Naruto
"War is approaching, be wary." said the man turning around to leave
"What war? The only war going on is with the Burning Legion." said the druid
"A war from which both factions might die if you aren't careful." the man said disappearing in the middle of the port.
Naruto looked at Zagark who had a look of horror on his face. The druid turned to Naruto.
"What was that?" asked Naruto
"I…I have no idea…" confessed the druid
"What did he mean?"
"I don't know…" said Zagark

A/N: If you have questions you can ask them, also please tell me what gender Kyuubi should be, vote is you want. Second I made up my mind and the pairing will be Naruto x OC
