I forgot to mention a few things in the last chapter:
You can find pics on my profile for the idea how each of the Wraiths look like. Just in Uvatha's pic substitute the thing he's riding with a horse, in Naruto's armor without the two blades and helmet, and in Adunaphel's pic the looks I described in the 2nd chapter.
Hoarmurath is also a blacksmith. Also, I couldn't find a pic for him, so just imagine a mad scientist.
Iruka sighed as he tried to quiet down the classroom. It was time to sort the new Gennin into teams. Only problem was, Naruto was nowhere to be seen.
"ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH!" he shouted using his Big Head Technique, which seemed to work. "Now it's time to sort out the teams. Team 1…" He was interrupted by the door slamming open, and, to the shock of everybody present, a tall, armored figure wearing helmet, with a sword on its left hip, stood in the doorway.
"Who… Who are you?" Iruka asked, slightly shivering on the inside, somewhat scared of the figure.
He, for the figure was obviously male, slowly raised his hands to his helmet, and took it off just as slowly. The helmet came off to reveal Naruto. Or, rather, what looked like Naruto.
For one, he was several inches taller than the old Naruto, now standing at six foot three. His hair color had also changed, along with his style. It was now dirty blond instead of the bright sun-kissed blond he used to have. His whisker marks had also disappeared, and his face was more lean and angular, and held a royal air. He nodded to Iruka and leaned against the wall, waiting to be called. He brushed his hair out of his face, and the rest of the Gennin saw a silver circlet on his forehead that looked as though it had been made from multiple rope-like parts, with a shape in the front that looked like the helmet he wore, his sigil.
Iruka continued. "Team 1… Team 7: Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Sai with Hatake Kakashi-Sensei. Team 8: Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuuga with Yuuhi Kurenai-Sensei. As Team 9 is still in circulation from last year, Team ten will be: Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akamichi and Ino Yamanaka with Sarutobi Asuma-Sensei."
"Iruka-Sensei, you didn't call Naruto-Baka." Sakura sneered.
"True, I didn't. That's because Naruto will not have a team."
"Ha! See that, Naruto-Baka, you will never be as great as Sasuke-kun." She screeched, while Sasuke grinned.
"Humph, Dobe." The two were suddenly hit with so large killing intent that the rest of the Gennin felt it, too.
"As I was saying." Iruka continued, Naruto still radiating killing intent, although somewhat lessened. "The reason Naruto will not have a team is that he will be the apprentice of Anko Mitarashi. Your Senseis will meet you in an hour. Goodbye and good luck. You're gonna need it."
Just as Naruto closed his eyes to relax, a presence made him open them. Sasuke was standing in front of him, a scowl on his face.
"Dobe, why do you get your own Sensei when an Uchiha like me has to deal with a team of dead-weights?" He had a confused look when Naruto just waived his left hand in a no motion. What he didn't know was that Ren, who had been following Naruto, was standing in the shadows behind him, his dagger aimed at his throat, ready to cut it open for disrespecting his lord.
"Because, Sasuke-chan, you do not know the meaning of the phrase 'teamwork'. Once you learn the true meaning behind it, you will also understand why I get my own Sensei. Ren." Sasuke just sneered thinking Naruto lost his mind.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, Dobe."
"I know it is" Naruto said coldly. "Now shut up and stop interrupting. Ren, get out here right now." The figure of Ren appeared behind Sasuke, scaring the ever-loving shit out of him, though he would ever admit it.
"My Lord, how did you know….?" Naruto just raised an eyebrow, and Ren chuckled sheepishly. "Right, forget I asked. What do you need of me?"
"In one hour I am too meet my Sensei, as you have heard. You have half an hour to find out as much as you can about her. Start with the Hokage; he should know at least something about his own ninja. Get going."
"As you command, My King." Ren disappeared.
"Dobe, why did he call you a king?" Sasuke snarled.
"Because, my dear Sasuke, I am a king. I am the Witch-King of Angmar." The last sentence he spoke with such power and authority that almost none of the Gennin doubted his words. Those that did were Kiba, Sakura and Sasuke, of course.
"Ha, a Dobe like you a king? Don't make me laugh."
"Sasuke-kun should be king, not a nobody looser like you."
"Humph, give me that crown, Dobe. It will look much better on the forehead of an Uchiha."
Naruto, who had once again closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, suddenly opened them, but they were not warm blue eyes anymore. His eyes were now blazing red, with slitted pupils. He growled and kicked Sasuke in the chest with his armored boot, sending him out of the window on the opposite side, and into the middle of the village. He ignored Sakura's screeching and slowly walked after him.
The villagers and ninja all gathered around Sasuke, forming a wide circle. The civilians were outraged that someone dared to hurt Uchiha-sama and the ninja were amused to see it finally happening. But no one expected to see Naruto in his armored form walking to Sasuke, his hand resting on the pommel of his sword.
By the time he got there, the Hokage had arrived, along with the entire Council, and all the Jounnin Senseis. When some of the civilian Councilmembers tried to kill Naruto for hurting the Uchiha, they were stopped by the Hokage. He turned to the ninja Councilmembers and Senseis. "Watch carefully." He said. "This is Naruto's new power. I believe he will explain everything himself." He smirked.
Naruto got within ten feet from Sasuke and stopped. He then spoke again, his voice filled with unimaginable power and authority, and his posture screaming royal. "You dare question my origins?" He roared. The ninja were now wondering what he thought about that, some coming to the conclusion themselves, knowing Minato personally. "You dare question my right to rule Angmar?" Now people were very confused. "I call you now, cur, to a duel of high stakes. I stake my kingdom and my honor on this one fight. Will you face me, or will you run away?" He said, donning his crown-helm. Sasuke got up and drew a kunai, charging Naruto. Most civilians laughed at the 'demon', thinking that, even if his claim was true, it wouldn't matter as Sasuke would defeat him.
Naruto stood still, waiting for Sasuke to approach. Not a second to soon, he drew his sword from its scabbard, and deflected the kunai. Sasuke charged again, while Naruto backhanded him with his left hand, launching him into the building on the opposite side. Before Sasuke could gather his senses, Naruto appeared in front of him, his blade poised on the Uchiha's neck. "I win, Uchiha." He turned around and walked away. Sasuke scowled, before running through hand-seals, sending a fireball at the Witch-King's back. As the fireball impacted, the civilians cheered, while the ninja gasped, and there was even a silent cry, although nobody knew who it came from. (whoever guesses who cried gets to suggest some ideas for the story that will most likely be added, unless they aren't reasonable). Then, they were all shocked into silence by a chuckle so sinister sounding, that it was as if it came from the Kyuubi itself. The flame died down to reveal Naruto completely unharmed, not even his cloak was singe. In fact, his armor seemed to glow in the fire, giving it an even more impressive look. His chuckle then turned to laughter worth of the Dark Lord himself. "You whelp. You call that a fireball? Let me show you how a real king does magic." Than with no word and no move other than thrusting his hand forward, a dark red flame flew from his left hand, and impacted Sasuke in the chest, who started screaming a second later.
Naruto then turned to the others standing around him. Every member of the village was present. "Hear me now, people of Konoha." He called; the dangerous presence all but disappeared, only leaving enough trace to know that he is one not to be fooled around with, and his regal presence returning once more. "I am Namikaze Naruto, Son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, descendant of Er-Murazor the first Witch-King and Lady Eowyn of Rohan, Leader of the Nine Ringwraiths, High Lord and Master of Minas Morgul and Witch-King of Angmar. So I say. Is there any who wish to challenge my right?" His voice, along with his demeanor made even the maddest of civilians or ninja unwilling to challenge him. Seeing none step forward, he continued. "My kingdom of Angmar on the borders of this village is off limits to all but those I approve of. And, also, my Sensei, Mitarashi Anko, is under the protection of myself and my kingdom and forces. Any who dare harm her will suffer a fate far worse than death." His dangerous side flashed, as did the depths of his helm, making his point known to all.
Anko, hearing this, smiled. It was not her usual crazy, bloodthirsty smile, but a true, gentle smile, only observed by her best friend Kurenai, standing next to her.
Some of the members of the Council, the civilians, did not like what they saw and heard. So they disregarded the Hokage's orders and charged Naruto while his back was turned. They were all knocked away by eight figures. The first one, clad in plate armor, spoke.
"I am Akhorahil the Knight of Umbar, Chief of the High Guard of Angmar. To get to my King, you must go through me first."
Khamul spoke next. "I am Khamul the Easterling, Advisor the His Majesty the Witch-King of Angmar. I will not allow you to harm him."
Adunaphel was the next one. "I am Adunaphel the Beastmistress, Tamer of the Wild in service of the Witch-King. I will kill you before you lay a hand on my Lord."
Then it was Dwar's turn. "I am Dwar the Dark Marshal, High General and Supreme Commander of the Army of Angmar, second only to Lord Naruto himself. You shall not pass."
Ren spoke after Dwar. "I am Ren the Shadow Lord, Spymaster and Tactician of the Witch-King. You will die before you take another step."
Then came Hoarmurath's turn "I am Hoarmurath the Undying. Come, and I will feed you to my inventions."
Uvatha was after Hoarmurath. "I am Uvatha the Horseman, General of the Cavalry of Angmar. I will trample you if you so much as intent on harming my King."
And, finally, it was Indur's turn. "I am Ji Indur Dawndeath, Tracker-General of the Army of Angmar. One step forward, and I will use all of you as stands for my arrows.
"Stand down, Ringwraiths. We are done here." As he spoke those words, all the Nazgul but himself and Ren, and all the ninja and civilians bar from Anko scattered. Anko spoke to Naruto in flirty voice.
"Naruto-kun, meet me at the entrance to Training Ground 44 as soon as you can, ok?" He just nodded and she poofed to the meeting place. Naruto then turned to Ren and commanded him to speak.
"My Lord, from mere observation of her I was able to determine that she likes dango and sake, and that she is crazy and bloodthirsty. But I believe the latter to be a mere mask made to hide her true emotions. I have also found out that she is the one-time student of the Snake Sannin Orochimaru, and that she is hated in the village because of that fact, branded as a traitor and a 'snake whore', in the words of the villagers. It may take some time to gently brake down her mask and reveal her true self to you, but I believe that with today's action you have started on the right path. With your permission, my Lord." Naruto nodded and he bowed and left.
"Right path, hm? I certainly hope so. Mitarashi Anko. Such a charming and beautiful woman she is. I wonder…"
