Disclaimer: I can't think of anything witty to write in this disclaimer…I'm so ashamed. Oh, and I don't own Naruto or World of Warcraft.

Here's the next installment of The Legend of Uzumaki Naruto

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Dwarf and boy hiked for hours up the mountain. Naruto leapt and hopped from rock to rock, while Orsson stumbled and climbed after him, muttering curses under his breath the entire time. Naruto grinned every time he heard the dwarf mutter something, and was happy that he had reconsidered his choice in coming.

Orsson, however, was reconsidering his reconsideration, and couldn't believe that he had been guilt-tripped into coming. He was likely about to get killed, as according to legend, a demogryphon couldn't be killed unless there was a wizard or something of the like around to send barrages of different spells at it, while everyone else attacked. Here he was, accompanying a thirteen-year-old boy, who wasn't much taller than himself, to fight something that powerful.

I wonder if he has this effect on everybody…the dwarf thought.

If only he knew.

It was around noon that Naruto caught the scent of something. It was far different than the smells that he had been experiencing all day, and was similar to the scent that had pervaded his senses when he had been flying on Eliandra. It was, however, enhanced by a powerful charcoal-like smell, and another scent which Naruto knew well, blood. Contrary to what one would have thought, it seemed that Dwarven blood and human blood smelled exactly the same.

I CAN FEEL IT.

Naruto paused slightly, inadvertently allowing Orsson time to catch up.

Feel what?

THIS CREATURE, IT ISN'T A DEMON, YET IT POSSESSES THE SAME WILDNESS THAT I HAVE FELT IN MANY OF MY KIND. IT IS CLOSE, BRAT.

"We're close, I think." Naruto announced, just as Orsson came up behind him, panting heavily, and sweating profusely. Orsson looked at him, frowning.

"How do yeh do that?" he asked.

"Do what?"

"Yeh can smell blood from a distance nae human can smell it, and now yeh've located the thing's home. What kinda human are yeh?" Naruto paused, formulating his answer.

"A special one." He grinned again, and started up towards a cliff face on their right. Orsson followed, and they both stopped as they reached the bottom of the cliff face.

"'Ow're we gonna get up there, lad?" Orsson asked, frowning as he looked up. The cliff was sheer rock, and it didn't look climbable in the slightest. Naruto frowned a bit, then asked off-handedly,

"How much do you way?" Orsson frowned at the boy, wondering what he possibly could mean by that.

"'Bout 250lbs, I'd wager. Why yeh askin'?" Naruto didn't answer for a few seconds, then, grinning, he said,

"'Cause I need to know how much you weigh, so I can carry you up there." Orsson stared at him disbelievingly.

"Yeh're jokin', aren't yeh?"

"Nope."

"Bloody hell." Naruto grabbed the dwarf's arms, and with a without a second's pause focused his chakra into his feet, and leapt onto the cliff face. He began to walk up it, clutching Orsson's arms over his shoulder, and literally dragging the poor dwarf like a sack upwards. Orsson gave a rather unmanly squawk and shouted,

"What the- how're yeh doin' that? Are yeh some type of wizard? Put me down! I don' like magic!" Naruto looked back down to check his progress, and grinned,

"I'm a ninja…and you sure you want me to do that?" Orsson looked back down, and discovered that Naruto was right. They had gone up at an alarming rate, and a fall now would likely cripple even a hardy dwarf.

"Eh…right yeh are…and what's a ninja?" Naruto frowned, realizing that this world likely didn't have ninjas.

"A ninja is…sorta like a hired mercenary, or somethin' like that. I dunno what you guys call those kinds of people here, but where I come from, they're called ninjas. And this isn't magic…I guess. It's chakra, you know…like a combination of mental and physical energies. They don't teach you guys this? And what's a wizard?" Orsson stared at the boy, hanging limply as he was dragged up the cliff, and thought about his answer.

"Dunno what yeh're talkin' about, boy. I'm surprised yeh can hold me like this, seeing as I weigh so much, but I never heard anythin' about chakra. An' a wizard is someone who does magic, ah guess. Never really met one, but ah guess this chakra sounds like magic…" Naruto shrugged, jostling the dwarf as he did, and continued to walk upwards.

"Geez, you're heavy." Naruto muttered, trying to shift the weight of his shoulders. Orsson grunted,

"We dwarves 'ave denser, heavier bones, it's the reason we're called hardy."

They finally reached the top, and Naruto hauled the heavy dwarf up onto the ledge, before leaping up himself. He was a bit exhausted, but it began to fade fast as he remembered what was coming. He looked at Orsson, who was stood up and looked past Naruto, looking awed, and causing the blonde to turn to follow the dwarf's gaze.

He saw, with a bit of fear, what had captured his short companion's attention. It was a huge cave mouth, which stared back at him not unlike the jaws of the demon fox that inhabited his stomach. The stench of death filled his nostrils at once, however, and he almost gagged.

He drew a small knife from his weapons pouch. It still felt a bit foreign in his hand, but he suspected it wouldn't matter in the fight. He started forward, vaguely noting that Orsson had drawn his axes. They neared the mouth of cave, and Naruto spotted piles of bones, some recognizable, as human, but others he saw were both differently shaped, and sized. They passed a particularly large pile, and Naruto nearly tripped over a large, heavy object. He looked down, and discovered it was indeed a bone. He picked it up, and was startled at its weight. He looked at Orsson,

"You're not kidding about the heavier bones part," he said.

"Aye." The dwarf responded, clutching his axes tighter in his hands. Naruto dropped the bone, and they continued.

"De yeh smell it, lad?" Orsson finally asked, as they got farther away from the entrance.

"No…I mean, I smell its scent, but I don't think it's here right now." Orsson looked a little relieved, and as they moved in the darkness, Naruto heard something.

Voices.

Voices…here? He thought stunned.

Maybe…some of them are still alive!

"Orsson-shuju… I think there's some people alive in here!" Orsson's eyes widened, and he strained his ears to hear what Naruto did. His eyes widened further when he found out.

"Bloody hell, I think yeh're right, lad! Mebbe some o' them are still alive! Let's go!" They both increased there pace, before another sound reached Naruto's ears. It was the sound wings beating against the air.

Uh-oh.

Naruto spun around, just as an awful sound filled the air. It was a high-pitched screeching noise that was much louder than the one Eliandra made. It chilled Naruto to the bone, and behind him, he could here Orsson muttering something incoherent under his breath…most likely a prayer.

Again the awful sound came, and the wing-beats grew louder. Finally, an awful crashing noise signaled the demogryphon's return to the earth, and then its huge presence filled the mouth of the cave, blotting out most of the sunlight.

That didn't stop Naruto from seeing it, however.

And in his opinion, not even the Kyuubi had frightened him as much as this monster.

It was huge, far bigger than Eliandra, and the size of a large elephant. It had short legs, but rather than having the front ones eagle's talons as Eliandra's had been, they were massive, pawed claws, that ripples with predatory muscles. The fur on its front was a deep gold, slowly tapering off into black feathers as the creature stretched its massive wings to their full span. Its head was bird-like, yet it was much more demonic, and possessed none of the beauty that Eliandra had. The beak was hooked and barbed, and its long ears were far larger than a normal gryphon's. Behind its huge wings, were two other large cat-like claws, and it ended in a massive tail, which had a series of hook-like claws that resembled a rake on the end. Its amber eyes glowed infernally in the darkness of the cave, like two headlamps.

Naruto was momentarily frozen by the creature's immense aura of power. This creature was a monstrous predator, and gave off a presence similar to, but weaker, that of the Kyuubi's.

There was however, one huge difference.

The Kyuubi lived in a cage inside his stomach, unable to hurt or harm him.

This creature stood in front of him, unhindered by a cage, and looking like Naruto would make a fine meal for it.

The demogryphon let out an awful shriek, and Naruto was broken from his terror-induced haze. He looked at Orsson, who looked fearful and resigned, and with a hint of determination. Naruto turned back towards the creature, readying his knife.

The demogryphon charged.

It moved incredibly fast for something so huge, and Naruto barely managed to get out of the way as the creature took a swipe at him with its massive claw. Orsson avoided the attack as well, and charge forward, slashing the creature's chest with one of his axes. The demogryphon screeched at the hit, but immediately shrugged it off, and batted Orsson out of the way with the back of its claw. The dwarf flew to the side, crashing into the wall.

The dwarf landed in a heap, but managed to get to his feet as Naruto engaged the monstrosity himself. The boy created six clones in a shout and a seal, and they leapt back, hurtling their own duplicated knives at the demogryphon. They punctured the monster's feathery wings and body, causing it to roar. Naruto himself began a string of seals, and as he did shouted,

"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!" The massive fireball hit the monster dead on in the chest, Naruto having directed the chakra into the clone closest to the gryphon. It roared again, and suddenly beat its massive wings, blasting the clone out of the way, and extinguishing the majority of the inferno that raged on its chest. It snuffed the rest out with its claw, and turned to the original Naruto, its massive tail swiping two clones out of existence as it did. It launched itself at the boy, slashing with its claws, but never reached him as Orsson jumped at the creature, hacking at its right wing with both axes. Startled by the sudden attack the creature stopped its attack of Naruto, and swung its clawed tail at the attacking dwarf, who had nearly removed the its wing. With a final shout, Orsson hacked the entire wing off, but was unable to savor the victory as the giant tail came crashing down on him. He held his axes up in an attempt to block, and succeeded to a degree. The clawed tail hammered him into the ground, causing the stone floor of the cave to crack and break under the stress. The two axe-heads, however, could only take so much damage, and shattered under the stress, causing the shards to cut the dwarf. The sheer force of the blow also flung the dwarf backwards, causing him to land in a heap near a pile bones, stunned.

The demogryphon was roaring constantly now, the stump that had previously been its wing now gushed a sickly, black blood, and Naruto saw his chance to get a hit in.

Attaching an explosive note the hilt of one of his knives, he flung it at the monster, wear it buried itself in the side, directly underneath the undamaged wing.

It exploded three seconds later, and the majority of the demogryphon's other wing, as well as a huge chunk of its side, were vaporized in the explosion. It toppled sideways, screeching horribly, and lay still.

Naruto immediately went to Orsson, who was lying near the pile of bones.

"Are you okay?" The dwarf grunted.

"No, but at least it's dead, righ'?" Naruto nodded. He was about to say more, when he heard the sounds of movement behind him. Orsson's eyes were wide, and he shouted,

"Look out, lad!"

Naruto whipped around, only to discover that he wouldn't be able to block the demogryphon's massive claw. It slammed into his side, and his world exploded in pain, and he was flung away from the fallen dwarf. He slammed into the cave wall, and more pain entered his body. He could vaguely taste blood, but he focused all of his attention on what he thought should be a dead gryphon.

He nearly fainted in horror at what he saw.

From where there was nothing but a bloody stump, several large boney protrusions were sprouting, and new flesh, muscles and feathers were beginning to creep up them. He could see veins being formed, and muscles grow on top of the new bone. He saw that the same thing was happening on its other side, and Naruto couldn't believe it.

It can fucking regenerate!

He stood as the demogryphon abandoned Orsson, deeming him not as much of a threat as Naruto, and swung its tail at the blonde. Naruto managed to dodge, albeit barely, this time, throwing himself to the side as the tail slammed into the wall, causing it to shatter, flinging debris in every direction.

Naruto began a new set of seals as fast as he could, as the demogryphon charge again. He was about halfway through, when the monster rose up on its hind legs, and brought its front claws down hard. What resulted was a miniature earthquake, which not only caused the ground to explode underneath him, but also interrupted his seals. He leapt out of the way, noting that its wings were almost completely reformed. Scowling, he repeated the seals in mid air, and without a second's pause shouted,

"Ninpo: Yomi no Shoutaku (Swamp of the Underworld)"

Underneath the demogryphon, a large, purplish hole appeared, and the creature immediately sunk underneath, its front claws almost totally submerged in the swamp. Naruto withdrew a few knives that had explosive notes attached, glad that Ero-Sennin had taught him that the Swamp of the Underworld, and flung them at the preoccupied creature. Before they hit, however, the demogryphon gave a shriek, and beat its largely reformed wings. The resulting wind from the attack blew Naruto's knives away, and he moved as far as he could away from them, just as they exploded.

The multiple explosions rocked the cave, dislodging some stalactites above. Naruto barely avoided being hit by one, as he stood, clutching his bloody chest, panting hard. The Kyuubi's own regeneration abilities were working hard to correct the damage he had been done. Immediately, he began to focus his chakra and shouted in his mind,

Gimme some chakra!

DONE

At once, Naruto felt new energy coursing through his body, and he grinned, feeling the surge of power and focus the Kyuubi's chakra brought. Naruto briefly noted that he felt different from any of the previous times that he had used its chakra, almost as if the creature was working in tandem with him, rather than just letting him do the work. With renewed energy and the Kyuubi's red chakra glowing around him, Naruto ran through some hand seals, bellowing,

"Katon: Karyuu Endan (Fire Dragon Blast)" An enormous blast of flame erupted from Naruto's mouth, shooting towards the great demogryphon, who had managed to free itself from the swamp. The white-hot hot flames exploded against the creature's chest, setting it afire once more. The force of the blast also knocked it backwards into the swamp. The murky, muddy waters immediately doused the flames.

Oops. Naruto thought, cursing himself for his stupidity. The demogryphon clawed its way out of the swamp, its newly formed wings carrying it out with ease once it had freed them from the swamp's sticky waters.

Naruto avoided another stalactite, furiously searching his list of jutsu for something to use.

Rasengan would be good, but I need to get close! How am I going to get near that thing without being clawed, bitten, or blown away?

He was nearly out of explosive notes, and we wasn't sure that the monster wouldn't just blow them away again. It was awfully smart for an animal, and Naruto could see that it learned from its mistakes.

A rather small stalactite nearly impaled his foot, and he cursed angrily at it. Then, and idea struck him.

If I can get it under one of those… He looked up and saw that several still clung to the ceiling. The demogryphon, having recovered from its imprisonment entirely, charged at Naruto, screeching. It spread its wings, and leapt up onto its hind legs again, preparing for another earthquake.

Naruto, his plan formed, leapt high into the air, just as the creature slammed downwards. The explosive earthquake caused two stalactites to shake loose, neither of which would hit the creature.

But that didn't matter.

He leapt off the ceiling towards one of the still falling stalactites, and in mid-air formed an imperfect Rasengan. The second-level powered Rasengan, which had power, but no control, slammed into the stony spear, hitting it in such an angle that it blasted it straight towards the demogryphon, almost completely intact, save for a large spiral marking. The projectile shot towards the gryphon, and Naruto's aim was true. The stalactite slammed into the monster's wing, piercing straight through, and pinning the demogryphon to the ground. It screeched horribly in pain, attempting to pull itself away from the stalactite and clawing at it. It began to hit it with the clawed tail, causing it to crack and break, but in the end, it didn't do much good.

With a cry, Naruto kicked off the ground, shooting towards the creature like a bullet, in his hand, he created a perfect, spherical Rasengan, and pulled his hand back as he reached the demogryphon. With a shout of "RASENGAN!" Naruto slammed the glowing sphere into the monster's head, getting a sick satisfaction at hearing the creature's head cave in, drenching him in brain matter and blood, under the powerful ball of chakra. He ripped his blood-covered hand from the hole in where its head had been, and just so it didn't surprise him again, slapped a rather powerful explosive note on its chest, and leapt away.

With an echoing "BOOM" the demogryphon's entire front body was obliterated, engulfing the rest of its body in flames, and covering the cave floor and walls with chunks of its body.

Naruto stared at the now truly dead demogryphon, panting.

"Let's see you regenerate from that, bastard!" he roared.

He slumped to the ground, feeling exhausted. His chest was mostly healed, but he still was covered in demogryphon blood and brains, and the cuts from debris and from where the gryphon's beak must have slashed when he had destroyed it. His body ached, but he had won.

Then he heard more movement.

He spun, ready to fight, but stopped at the sight of Orsson, who had limped over from his position near the pile of bones, where he had lain, prone, for the majority of the fight. He looked amazed.

"Bloody hell, lad, I take it back, yeh're not a fool for doin' this, you really were somethin'!" Naruto grinned weakly, casting another look at the dead demogryphon.

"Thanks…I suppose." He managed to stand shakily, and Orsson grabbed him, steadying him. They both looked back into the cave, suddenly remembering the voices. Save for the crackling of the fire-engulfed demogryphon, neither could here anything.

"We'd best go check it out, eh lad?" Orsson said. Naruto nodded, but didn't think he or Orsson could manage to get there without falling. He remembered the healing potions that Jon had given him, what seemed like ages ago, and opened his pack, fishing out one of the bottles. Inside was a reddish liquid, which Naruto took a hesitant gulp of. Almost immediately, warmth spread throughout his body, and aside from the rather poor taste, Naruto was grateful. It was almost like a soldier pill, and Naruto could feel his exhaustion ebbing away. He handed the half-full bottle to Orsson, who downed the rest in a flash. The dwarf thanked him, and they both began to walk, hesitantly at first, then with more confidence as they realized they weren't going to fall.

They crossed the battle-scarred cave, heading farther and farther back. They saw several other, smaller passages that branched off from the main one, but Naruto dismissed them not smelling anything in said directions.

Finally they reached a large, circular chamber, also littered with bones, and saw a large boulder directly across from the entrance. Naruto could smell something behind them.

"Dwarves!" he announced happily to Orsson, who looked both stunned and relieved.

The two quickly crossed the chamber, standing in front of the boulder.

"Yeh think yeh can break it, withat fancy glowing ball o' yers?" Orsson asked, raising an eyebrow at the boy. Naruto glared at him.

"It's called a Rasengan. I only shouted it to the entire cave…"he muttered, and slowly began to gather the chakra that the healing potion had given him back into a concentrated ball in his palm, he shouted "Rasengan!" again, just to spite the ignorant dwarf, and slammed the ball into the boulder. The ball plowed through the rock, sending ripples throughout the entire thing, eventually causing it to shatter apart. Another cave was revealed, and both Naruto and Orsson could see several figures in the darkness.

Orsson immediately rushed forward, only to be clobbered in the head by a rock. He fell over, stunned, as several dwarves rushed out, brandishing rocks and broken stalactites like clubs. Naruto held his hands up in a gesture of surrender, as Orsson got to his feet, glaring at the group.

"What're yeh doin'! We're tryin' ta save yeh!"

The attacking dwarves stopped, and blinked.

One of them, who possessed fiery read hair and a large beard, stood walked forward, looking abashed.

"Aye…sorry 'bout that." Another, a female, stepped forward,

"Och…furgive us, friend! I dinna ken it was dwarves, thought it was that horrible beastie comin' to eat one o' us again!" Orsson grinned, while Naruto silently seethed about being called a dwarf.

Orsson then looked at the first dwarf and said, stunned,

"Yeh're Grundig! Yeh're alive! This is great!" The dwarf nodded, and Naruto perked up at the name.

"You're Grundig? The friend of the King?" Grundig nodded, and then looked closely at Naruto.

"Eh? Yeh're a human!" The other dwarves, who numbered about seven, looked at Naruto a second time. Several let out surprised gasps, whispering about how it surprising that not only a human had come to help rescue them, but was short enough to be mistaken for a dwarf.

Naruto pouted, and Orsson laughed.

"Aye, so he is! A damned fine what at that! He saved yeh all from that monster back there, all by himself, he did!" They stared, shocked into silence, and Naruto felt his face grow warm.

"Blimey…yeh took that thing out all by yerself? Amazin'!" cried Grundig, his eyes twinkling. The others whispered words of awe as well, and Naruto shifted uncomfortably. Orsson grinned at the boy's obvious embarrassment, then turned to the group of dwarves.

"How come yeh are all still alive? I'd thought that that beast woulda scarfed yeh all down!"

Grundig's face grew somewhat dark, and he said quietly.

"That thing…'twas a monster, through and through. It kept us locked up, mostly for its own amusemen'. It would sometimes jus' pick off body parts, then leave them bleedin' in here, while it went off. A true monster, it was."

Naruto was stunned, and sickened. He just noticed that some of the dwarves were indeed missing legs or arms, and the stumps had been tied up with pieces of cloth that had been ripped from their shirts.

I thought you said it wasn't like you!

I TAKE OFFENCE TO THAT, BRAT, BUT WHAT I SAID WAS TRUE. I WAS ONLY SPEAKING IN TURNS OF RACE, IT WAS NOT A TRUE DEMON, BUT PERHAPS IT DID ACT LIKE ONE.

Naruto uneasily sat down, while Orsson growled softly at the news.

"Good thing I took care of it then, huh?" Naruto said. They all grinned, nodding.

"Righ'," said Orsson, looking back towards the entrance to the chamber, "we'd best get outta here, don' wanna stick aroun' here."

The other dwarves and Naruto didn't protest, and they were led out, all alive, mostly intact, and just pleased to be free.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

They arrived back at Margen that night, and were all very tired by the time they had arrived. Naruto had been forced to carry one dwarf at a time down the initial cliff face, and then spent the rest of the time helping those who had missing limbs down the rocky slopes of the mountain. He was dead tired, and hoped to get good nights sleep.

Unfortunately, Grundig had immediately called the dwarves of the town out; in order to not only let them know he had returned, but to honor Naruto and Orsson. Naruto spent quite awhile getting slapped on the back, conked on the head, and several times, squeezed on the ass, by the dwarves who were grateful to have their overseer and leader back.

Finally he was able to retire to bed, far too exhausted to travel, and dreamed of nothing.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next morning saw Naruto standing at the edge of town once more, this time surrounded by many dwarves, with Grundig and Orsson in the front. He was decked out in a fresh new cloak, and pair of boots. Both dwarves were grinning, and Grundig had a scroll clutched in his hands, ready to present to their young hero.

"Well, lad, yeh've been a great help, and I 'onestly say that yeh're welcome back anytime, an' I can' even begin ta' repay you." He held out the scroll,

"This is a letter, tha' I've written ta' King Magni, about you. Give it ta' him, an' I think he'll right thank ya. Margen is one o' the biggest minin' towns here, an' Magni needs metals for weapons an' the like, so he'll definitely help ye'. I think he'll listen to yer and the little Princess's plan, an' right agree with it. Jus' follow the road, and when yeh leave the mountains, head northeast, across some o' the smaller mountains, and yeh'll find it easy. A fighter o' yer caliber won' be troubled much in the mountains of Dun Morogh."

He handed Naruto the scroll, and he tucked it safely away in his weapons pouch. He turned to Orsson, who was grinning.

"It's been good workin' with yeh lad…I can' believe I almost ran away…but tha's over, and I'm glad I got ta' meet yeh." Naruto grinned back at him and asked,

"Wanna come with me?" Orsson blinked, and shook his head.

"Och…no way, lad, the trouble yeh get into would get me killed, I suspect." Naruto laughed, and hugged the dwarf. Orsson was surprised for a second, before he returned the hug.

Naruto stepped away, and turned to go.

"Thanks everyone!" He shouted back to the group.

Orsson laughed,

"Ah, lad, its we who should be thankin' yeh! So THANK YEH!" The entire group shouted the last two words, as they walked Naruto walk away.

Orsson couldn't help but feel that he would be seeing him again, as he and Eliandra walked back towards Margen, grinning all the way.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Yet another chapter done! Those last reviews really got me motivated, and I've wanted to right this chapter for a long time.

The demogryphon- for some, you might notice that the description of it bares remarkable resemblance to the Griffin from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. That's because when I originally thought up this story, I was playing that game. Originally I was going to have a sort of Ocarina of Time like story, in which Naruto would fight the Griffin from PoP:WW. However, when I got into World of Warcraft, that quickly changed, but I still wanted Naruto to fight the Griffin. So I made it into the demogryphon. Normal gryphons don't have regenerative abilities, just this species.

Several things to address:

Druss the Legend- The plot is sorta based on Frozen Throne and Reign of Chaos, because in those two actually form the basis of the plot for World of Warcraft. There isn't really any story to WoW, but it has probably all of the characters from both games that haven't died, i.e.-Thrall, Sylvanas, Jaina Proudmore, Arthas the Lich King, and so on. It also has a bunch of other creatures/ characters that I don't think are in the games. The plot of The Legend of Uzumaki Naruto is several years into the future of the game World of Warcraft, but aside from the Alliance and Horde being dispersed, has almost all the same characters. As for Naruto getting artifacts, yes he will. As for Naruto using magic, magic is the same as chakra, at least in this story. The Well of Eternity thing will be explained later. Kyuubi isn't really different from the demon lords, save for species.

Naruto has trained under Jiraiya for about six months before he leaves for Azeroth, and he has a healthy amount of jutsu under his belt.

blazer-6- I will be throwing in the Night Elves, but not soon. Sorry, but they aren't going to show up for really awhile. As for the normal Elves (called Blood Elves) they are all with Illidan at this point, and his whereabouts are unknown. Thank you also for noting that the Elves aren't immortal anymore, I had forgotten about that. I do think that Kyuubi would give off a strong aura, but he's inside Naruto, so the aura is dimmed, if not gone.

Once again, the pairings issue: Look, don't get too hung up on pairings. This is an adventure story, not a romance. Yes it will have romance, because adventures aren't good without romance, but it won't happen for a while, and that won't be the main focus. I'm sorry, also but I've made up my mind about pairings, and in this story, Sakura will play a huge role. I also think that some of you aren't giving her a chance, she isn't that bad anymore, and her obsession with Sasuke was somewhat of a childish crush. I like her, and she has a large part in this story. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but she won't be appearing for a while anyways. Please don't worry about pairings for now, okay?

Maybe I'll pair Shino up with an elf…yeah…that'd be good.

As for the "Shuju" affixiation on Orsson's name...I think it means dwarf in Japanese. Since Naruto is also assigning people nicknames, I think this works, considering he only adresses Orsson by his name once.

Well, that's all for now.

Next, Naruto journeys into Dun Morogh, and finally reaches Ironforge!

Bestiary-

Demogryphon (Beast) (Elite)- A monstrous version of the common gryphon, the demogryphon is a monster through and through. It is intelligent enough to get a twisted satisfaction in torturing its victims before eating them. It can live for hundreds of years and survive incredibly damaging wounds, due to its regenerative abilities. It is strong enough to create miniature earthquakes by jumping up on its hind legs and dropping hard back to the ground. It can also create small windstorms to blow away incoming projectiles.
