Author's Notes: Well… hopefully this chapter's out before I leave… and yes, Ricky's acting like a bastard, that was unintentional, but now I'm too lazy to change it, so yeah… and Guys, this will be the last chapter to update for about… let's say two weeks minimum, I won't have the time to actually write it, please stay on the story, I'll update as often as possible at the very least, but probably after August 23rd when my plane actually returns to where I am. Most likely the 25th seeing as I need to get over my jet lag as well…
Hakkyou no Yami: I'm too lazy to send another message… God I hope I didn't make Naruto THAT overpowered in this chapter, or else it would take away the fun… maybe I'll make him slightly insane then as a compromise, don't ask, you don't want to know ;)

Chapter 15: Ominous Feelings
Last time, in Chapter 14:
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
Twin clouds of smoke, one significantly larger than the other, signified the success of the summoning, and as the smoke cleared, Lina and Jaina, as well as the population, were looking at the largest toad they have ever seen, and for Jaina and Lina, a dog wearing a vest as well.
"Kakashi? Where are you and where am I?" Pakkun asked. Gamabunta asked the same, only differently worded.
"Gaki!" Gamabunta yelled, "Where the hell have you been? Wait… this isn't Konoha, and there's not a lot of chakra here… where the hell are we?"
"Gamabunta," Naruto explained, "Get us to mainland now! Madara is here and he's let a bijuu loose!"
"You better be right gaki… hold on!" Gamabunta yelled as it leapt away, creating two craters where his feet were as Jaina and Lina looked astounded at the toad.
"So…" Pakkun said as it turned to the two women, "Who're they?"
"A talking dog…?" Lina inquired, "I thought I've seen everything with the Scourge and the undead… So that was what Naruto was talking about…"
"No time to explain, track the scents around ,you heard what Naruto said," Kakashi said, "If there's anything out of the ordinary tell me or tell the others, you should know them by their scent." He was suddenly interrupted however.
"What's going on!" Sakura yelled as she sprinted over followed by the rest of the team, "I felt this chakra like the Kyubi's and then Gamabunta appeared. Did Madara summon one of them here?"
"Yeah, Naruto's already gone into battle with Gamabunta," Kakashi explained as Sakura narrowed her eyes.
"That baka…" she growled, "He couldn't wait for us?"
"You realize that we would only slow him down?" Kakashi asked dryly as Sakura growled more in irritation as Yamato looked on concerned.
"So… senpai, what are your orders?" Yamato asked finally as Kakashi looked at him.
"Position around the island and check for any bijuu that may come around, you know which ones they are, so get to it!" Kakashi ordered as the entire team nodded before leaping off, blurs being the only indication that they had just taken off, or had ever been there, before the blurs also disappeared.
"Bijuu?" Jaina asked, "You mean those… chakra entities?"
"Yeah," Kakashi said, "Just like the Kyubi, only less in power."
"Still more than anyone can ever produce though," Lina muttered as Kakashi crinkled his eyes in a smile as he took out a small pill from his pouch.
"Nope, Naruto has more than… I think it was the Nibi or Sanbi, while the Kazekage has more than the Ichibi but slightly less than the Nibi," Kakashi replied, "That's why he's the best choice against them."
"And we can't do anything still…" Jaina whispered to herself, "This is so…"
"If anything, we're sorry that we dragged our war here," Kakashi apologized, "But now, we can only rest that Naruto can take care of it before it gets too far."
Naruto, be careful, was the thoughts of the two women as they stared off in the direction Naruto had left.
With Naruto
"Damnit, damnit, damnit!" Naruto yelled in frustration as Gamabunta leapt through the waters to the edge of the mainland, as Naruto supplied more chakra to it, "Where is the chakra coming from…"
"Gaki, slow down!" Gamabunta exclaimed, "You're going to burn yourself out. Focus on calming down before sensing, remember?"
"Right…" Naruto said, "I got carried away by the chakra since… well, I haven't felt it in a while… sorry."
"Focus…" Gamabunta said as Naruto closed his eyes, before pinpointing the feeling. During that time, he also created kage bunshin to gather Nature Energy as well, before dispelling immediately.
"The north…" Naruto said as he looked at Gamabunta and pointed a finger in a direction, "Go there! The Yonbi's in that direction!"
"The Yonbi! Are you insane!" Gamabunta yelled, "That's more chakra than you have right now! How are we suppose to take something like that down?"
"Madara controls them via a seal and summoning, but summoning itself won't cause the summons to work… you're a prime example actually," Naruto said gaining a snort from Gamabunta, "So all I have to do is slap a contact seal on Madara like my father did, and we can wrestle the control away. Summoning the Yonbi must have taken more energy than he could spare right now, so I bet it's his ultimate weapon right now. We deal with it, we got Madara."
"I guess that's the only way to work…" Gamabunta replied, "Hold on!"
Gamabunta sped through the forests as Naruto stood on top, his armor shining against the sun as he watched the entire place with his Rinnegan. He saw the population of Night Elves scrambling around, screaming something about Sargaras, whoever that was. He then saw Tyrande and Malfurion, as well as Illidan, who looked up before saying something to the other two, as they followed right afterwards.
Good, maybe I'll have some backup then, Naruto thought grimly as they continued, and the trees became a bit sparse. Soon, snow littered the ground as Gamabunta stopped.
"This is where the signature came from…" Naruto said, before realization dawned on him, "Gamabunta, jump!"
Gamabunta did as asked, and no sooner than he jumped did a pillar of lava erupt from the ground, blasting out like a jet as the Yonbi spiraled out. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he leapt off Gamabunta, two clone created right behind him, and already entered Sage Mode. Naruto held his hands out as two Rasengan were made, before enlarging as the original dropped, leaving the two Kage Bunshin with the gigantic spiraling ball.
"Senpo: Dai Odama Rasengan!" the two clones yelled as they shoved the gigantic Rasengan into the Yonbi, sending it screeching back as Naruto pinpointed Madara's signature, as well as Sasuke's.
"Damnit, what are you doing?" Naruto yelled as he leapt over, his hands already spiraling as Sasuke moved to intercept. The two techniques, Chidori and Futon: Rasengan clashed, before the Rasengan utterly obliterated the Chidori, sending a surprised Sasuke pummeling down as Naruto tried to punch Madara, only to go through.
"What do you think?" Madara asked, "I see you have also managed to successfully summon… most impressive, not even Sasuke can do that yet, and he has a direct Kamui to manipulate…"
"This isn't a playground!" Naruto yelled again as he flared his chakra out and Madara watched in confusion.
"You truly are stupid aren't you?" Madara mocked, "You just wasted chakra by blasting it out; chakra that could not only be used to take me out, but also take the Yonbi and Sasuke out."
"All I have to do is take you out, remember my father?" Naruto said as Madara narrowed his eye, "Yet, are you as talented as your father?"
"I guess we'll find," Naruto said as he threw a tri-pronged kunai at Madara, "out then!"
With that, Naruto charged forward in sync with the kunai, and as Madara threw a punch, Naruto bent under and tried to kick him, only for Madara to dodge and slam his heel against Naruto's head, but Naruto instantly dispelled showing it as a Kage Bunshin. Madara was startled at that, before the kunai transformed behind him and Naruto slashed, with Madara too surprised to phase completely and suffering a cut.
"Impressive indeed, Naruto," Madara chuckled, "You do live up to your father's name, at least in ingenuity… but can you live to up his fearsome reputation?"
"Don't play tricks with me Madara," Naruto growled, "I'm completely different from my father, do not judge my achievements to his."
"But everyone else will," Madara said casually, before disappearing and reappearing behind Naruto to deliver a powerful chop to the back of his head. Luckily, Naruto jumped up, but was then subsequently slammed by his back into a rock, only to be replaced by a log with a broken midsection as Madara phased, causing Naruto to fly through, "Like I said, impressive usage and timing, but not enough to defeat me."
"You always forget my specialty!" Naruto yelled from behind as he successfully hit Madara again, and again from the bottom as a clone smashed its way from the ground and impacted a solid foot with Madara's chin. As Madara moved up, however, his eye instantly morphed as several holes opened and destroyed the clones when their chakra were all disrupted by the waves. Naruto himself was holding ground as the wave passed over him, and immediately flared his chakra out more and calling out a technique.
"Shinra Tensei!" Naruto yelled as a wave pulsed around him in tandem with his chakra, flaring out and dispelling all the black holes as Madara jumped down.
"And unfortunately, even if you do have more chakra than your father," Madara mocked, "You still waste chakra by flaring it into the air. I already know how much chakra you have, and thus, there is no point."
"Wrong," Naruto smirked, "Look at the shape of my chakra, how it's composed. I'll give you three seconds."
Madara, following Naruto's advice, looked at the chakra more carefully. It was all constructed and molded in a way that reminded Madara of…
Oh hell, you have got to be kidding me… Madara thought as Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash far too fast for Madara to react as Naruto slammed a Rasengan into his gut, "Rasengan!"
"You managed to use it without the seals?" Madara commented as he breathed heavily, "Most impressive… perhaps I will have to take you seriously now."
"Too late Madara, you should have done that when you saw me," Naruto said, "the first flare has already diffused through this entire battlefield."
"What!" Madara exclaimed as Naruto disappeared yet again, as Madara tried to phase, but Naruto was faster and landed yet another hit on Madara with his wind blades. Meanwhile, Sasuke climbed up as he saw Madara getting pummeled as well before he managed to phase. Dobe… he's using the Hiraishin no Jutsu, but where are the kunai…?
"Hello Sasuke," Naruto smiled as he suddenly changed target, leaving a panting Madara as he flashed right in front of Sasuke and struck out, landing a sucker punch on Sasuke's stomach, before heavily palming the solar plexus and launching a blast of chakra. Having the Rinnegan and thus Shinra Tensei, and having Hinata as a girlfriend does wonders for me to get this right, Naruto smirked as he flashed yet again, landing another hit on Sasuke, only for Sasuke to retaliate with a Chidori Nagashi, but Naruto was only hit once before he disappeared.
"You…" Sasuke growled, "Did you set this place up beforehand?"
"Nope," Naruto smirked, "You're looking at a product of hard work and sheer chakra."
That said, flaring out that much chakra still means that I don't have a lot left, thought Naruto, I need to get that seal on Madara now. With that, Naruto created several clones as they charged Sasuke as Naruto flashed behind Madara and attempted another hit, but Madara phased again, only to phase back and find an explosion in his face as a clone detonated. A clone? When? Madara asked himself. Meanwhile, the original Naruto flashed through several seals in succession as he and another clone flashed. Madara dodged the first one, but he, once again, forgot about the predictability of his actions and Naruto's twin flashes, as Naruto appeared and slammed his hands onto Madara's stomach, hard, as a seal forged itself and Madara coughed up blood.
Damnit, the phasing is not great when I'm low on chakra from summoning the Yonbi… Madara thought as he dodged a strike from Naruto before regrouping with Sasuke, "Fall back Sasuke, we don't have the ability to fight him here evenly…"
"Hn," was all Sasuke said as they teleported away, Naruto desperately trying to hit them one more time.
"Kuso…" Naruto growled as the Yonbi roared again. This time, Gamabunta was shot back from the force, and steam billowed out from the surface. Naruto felt, rather than saw, the three night elves entering his chakra range, and flashed over.
"Tyrande, Malfurion, Illidan, stay here for now," Naruto instructed, "This is no ordinary beast."
"What is it?" Illidan asked, "It absolutely reeks of demonic energy… more energy than I have ever felt short of Sargaras in fact, even if he was felt through a portal…"
"A chakra monster… this is a monster that has a form created from pure demonic energy alone…" Naruto explained as the three widened their eyes in terror, "I'll delay it for a bit, it must be confused right now. Malfurion, do nothing, your spells will not work well against him because he can simply burn it off, but mine might be able to."
"What do you mean?"
"I haven't perfected this technique yet, but I should be able to suppress the chakra enough for Illidan to send it back," Naruto said.
"Send it back? Why will you not just kill it?" Tyrande asked curiously.
"They are pure chakra entities Tyrande," Naruto said, "It's physically impossible to kill them without sealing them away… but it's already bound to a seal and thus it won't work, so we need to exhaust it enough to cause it to leave."
With that, Naruto leapt away, jumping high into the air as the crystals in his pockets glowed in synchronization with his chakra, as he flipped through hand seals. Moments later dozens of wooden spikes came out and impaled through various parts of the Yonbi's body, and Naruto began to reverse the demonic chakra, sucking it into his own body and letting both Kyubi and his own chakra overcome it. Yonbi, however, was able to break the bonds with a burst of demonic energy which caused lava to spew out of the ground. Admist all that, Naruto saw something that nearly made his heart stop.
There was a small cub lying on the side, one of its legs wounded badly enough that it couldn't walk. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the lava as he flashed over, instants before the lava could cover the cub. He shielded the cub with his entire body, clutching it close to his chest, as his Rinnegan pulsed. The Frostsaber cub whined while cuddled inside Naruto, as if sensing the impending doom and power.
"Shinra Tensei!" Naruto yelled as the lava was sent blasting back up, away from the two, as the Night Elves watched. Illidan, however, took action first, knowing that the longer the Yonbi stayed, the worse things could be. Illidan began to gather the energy and started using it to slash at various parts of the Yonbi, causing it to roar in pain as each gash was widened by his very own demonic chakra. Naruto, meanwhile, stood up shakily, and with the cub safely on his shoulder, his front paws gripping onto the front of Naruto's armor and its legs dangling behind, Naruto flashed through several more hand seals as the snow began to sluggishly move and twist, before melting into water from the high chakra output.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" Naruto called out as the dragon materialized and blasted over the lava blobs, nearly instantly vaporizing, but it had done the trick as now giant slabs of rock began pelting down. Naruto instantly grabbed the cub and slung it around so that he was holding it as he leapt across the broken terrain, avoiding rocks by rolling, jumping, and once smashing one through with a twister blown from his mouth. He managed to just roll into a clearing when he sensed another thing – the Sage Mode he had felt earlier, and a mature Frostsaber emerged. It charged forward, easily whipping Malfurion up towards onto itself as it roared at Tyrande's as it leapt away and depositing Malfurion. It then transformed, in front of Malfurion, to reveal a female Night Elf.
"A druid?" Malfurion exclaimed in surprise.
"What's going on? Why are you so surprised?" Naruto asked as he came over, the cub now safely holding on to Naruto once more.
"Normally… it's only the males who are druids," Malfurion explained, "female Night Elves usually forgo druidism and undergo Priestess training."
"Why…?" Naruto asked, "Wouldn't both have a chance to choose?"
"Normally yes, but this is more of… I'd say tradition, I guess," Tyrande said helplessly, "It was established years ago, though she is talented enough to transform into a Frostsaber… perhaps we should let it be tried as well my love?"
"Perhaps, Tyrande," Malfurion said.
"And along the way," Naruto said, "She is quite… unique, let's call it that, in the fact that she can actually passively gather Nature Energy like me, only I need to stay stationary or use another medium such as a clone to gather it for me."
"And what does this… nature energy enable you to do?" Malfurion asked.
"Well, it, as its name says, gives us more in tune thoughts of the nature, as in we can passively and actively feel the signatures of everyone in the vicinity, as well as power boosts beyond what I would like to call 'Holy Shit Mode', which is essentially one of our kages on crack… ehh, Soldier Pills, and trust me, it's not a pretty sight," Naruto said as he shivered at the thought, when he remembered Tsunade after ingesting one of them. That was a humble experience for the younger blond.
"That could be the reason she's so attuned to nature then…" Malfurion said after a while, "tell me Naruto, how do you gather this… nature energy?"
"For one thing, never do this by yourself, it's too dangerous. If you really want to learn how to harness it, I could ask Fukasasku-jiji… but I'd need permission first, sorry," Naruto said apologetically as he straightened again, "Now I really need to get that beast out of here…"
"Just one more thing Naruto," Tyrande said, "if it's possible, can you leave the cub here at least? It's a rare Frostsaber."
"Well…" Naruto said as he looked at the cub, who simply snuggled into Naruto more, "I don't think he wants to leave… Hey little guy, I'm going to put you down to attack that monster, okay? Just stay here."
As if the cub could understand Naruto, it hopped down as it circled Naruto, softly whining as Naruto looked at it, then back at Tyrande, "Well, here I go."
After his final word, Naruto flashed as close as he could before making seals again as Gamabunta joined the fray once again.
"Oi gaki," the giant toad said, "You gotta-"
"I can't, Gamabunta," Naruto said as he launched a powerful air blast, "The last time was because I was able to channel my chakra over through Kakashi's Kamui, but there's no such convenient disturbances right now…"
"Didn't you face Madara though? Shouldn't he had left some chakra traces that you can follow?"
"It's… worth a try I guess," Naruto said as he began to pull on the chakra, trying to find Madara's signature. After a minute of trying, Naruto panted and looked at Gamabunta, "It's no use, his chakra is too diffused for me to pull… I guess I'll have to use that."
Turning to Malfurion, Naruto stated, "Malfurion, what I'm going to do next… is related to how I know what demonic energy does… if you have any questions, please let me finish my tale… I'll explain it all later."
And with that, Naruto transformed. Not transforming as in turning into a gigantic nine-tailed fox, but as in entering his so-called 'junchuriki mode', however. Naruto was quickly shrouded in a red cloak, as a stronger feeling of dread overcame them and Illidan stopped briefly, "It's that energy again…"
With the power, Naruto also felt his strength and chakra reserves rapidly returning and crouched as four tails also popped out, before he began to channel chakra through the crystal remnants even as he entered Sage Mode as well. As he powered up his entire system, he took a large risk. He entered the five tailed state willingly, knowing that it would take that much power to take down the Yonbi. The chakra cloak darkened considerably, yet Naruto was able to think clearer than the other times he had entered the cloak, and he knew that Sage Mode, along with the Mokuton chakra currently circulating through the crystal fragments were working correctly. Naruto crouched, and with his tails swining, he let loose a powerful roar that created a sonic shockwave that blasted out to the Yonbi, immediately gaining its attention.
"What… was that?" Tyrande asked fearfully, "Just who is he?"
"A man of great power… and burden…" Malfurion replied as he finally had a clue as to what Naruto had meant by burden.
Naruto wasted no time, and neither did Illidan, Gamabunta, or the Yonbi, as they charged. Naruto quickly created a Kyubi-powered Futon: Rasengan, and blasted it right at a water bullet that Gamabunta had just launched. The two attacks combined, and the corrosive nature of the demonic energy tore through the demon, causing it to scream in pain, before Illidan managed to leap and blink high enough that he was able to reverse slash it right in the right eye. The Yonbi stumbled back at the pain as chakra flared out and healed the eye almost instantly, though a small scar remained.
"What the… our attacks will do no good if he continues to heal at this rate!" Illidan said as Naruto smirked and replied, in an extremely low and hollow voice that chilled even Illidan to the bone.
"That's good… waste its chakra until it runs out and returns back to the goddamn statue," Naruto said as he began to gather demonic chakra that were belched out. The blobs conjoined as they formed a sphere, before collapsing on itself as he swallowed it. The Night Elves watched in fascinated terror as Naruto suddenly grew width-wise, before his mouth began to bloat as well, and he released the shockwave of pure demonic energy at the Yonbi, who similarly released a blast of pure lava, followed by blasts of energy. The Kyubi-powered blast easily shot the lava into halves before each strand was incinerated by the blast's pure power, but was slightly halted at the barrage of demonic energy. Eventually, however, the blast impacted onto the Yonbi, who was slammed back into a tall mountain, rendering it badly injured. The Yonbi roared again, with its eye starting to return back it a more normal shape, before it shook its head and tried to heal itself. As it did, however, the Yonbi seemed to realize something and growled at itself before looking at the group and growled at them, before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, leaving no trace of its presence apart from the battle that just took place. Naruto relaxed, and completely forced the Kyubi's chakra back, before collapsing in exhaustion. From the corner of his eye he saw the cub limping towards him, before darkness overtook him.
Meanwhile, the cub, ignoring the soft roars of Tyrande's Frostsaber, limped over to Naruto, before resting itself on top of him, softly licking Naruto's face. Malfurion watched in fascination while Tyrande watched in curiousity.
"It would seem that way…" Malfurion spoke, startling Tyrande as Illidan moved back, "I suppose it would be better to keep them together for now, for the cub seemed to have bonded with Naruto, just like how you have bonded with yours, Tyrande."
"How do we move him though?" Tyrande asked as the female druid came over.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance," she announced.
Theramore
The entire team waited as they looked over the horizon, before an irritated Sakura finally burst, "Where the hell is that idiot anyways?"
As she said that, though, they felt an even more oppressive feeling, and Yamato looked at his hand. It showed a kanji for five, 五, on his hand.
"Uh, Senpai, Naruto's going into five-tailed mode," Yamato stated nervously as Kakashi widened his eyes.
"I thought his maximum was four, and five is only used for a bout a minute before the bloodlust took over?" Kakashi asked as Yamato nodded. As a whole minute passed and the feeling didn't subside, Kakashi turned to Yamato, worried, "You think…?"
"I doubt it," Yamato replied, "He should be strong enough in the first place to go five-tails, though he hasn't used that for a while so I'm not sure… wait, the feeling's disappearing, both in fact."
"Good," Kakashi let out a sigh of relief as he lowered his headband, before looking back at the team, "Regroup and return to the castle team."
"Hai Kakashi-sensei/senpai!" the group chorused as they sped back, leaving blurs visible to the general populace. They soon returned to the castle and reported back the Jaina, who was with the other two women as well. "Naruto's managed to defeat the Bijuu."
"How is he then?" Jaina asked anxiously.
"Unsure," Kakashi said, "He won't return that fast unless Gamabunta is still there, which I doubt after fighting a Bijuu… I must admit Gamabunta probably has the most experience fighting the Bijuu though….
"He's fought the Kyubi at full power, the Ichibi at near full power, the Nibi once awhile back, and now he's fought off another Bijuu," Kakashi explained, "I was there in all but this one, and I think he's already figured out a way to beat quite a few of them by now."
"Wow…" Lina replied, before yet another commotion came in as a messenger came by.
"Lady Proudmoore, Lady Inverse, General Windrunner," the messenger said, "The population is getting restless at the foul energy that came around, and is asking for an explanation outside."
"I'll be there shortly," Jaina said as the messenger bowed and left, "So, what do we tell them?"
"For these guys to get out of here," a bitter voice came around as the group saw Ricky, "That has been your intention all along hasn't it? To wreak havoc and become the hero? That's why you had your precious Naruto come here and pretend to be a hero, then you all show up, have an argument, and then this… whatever monstrosity you have unleashed.l"
"What?" Sakura asked incredulously, "You would think we unleashed that here? We don't even have those anymore, the madman, Madara, took them except for the Haichibi and the Kyubi!"
"So? What does that prove?" Ricky yelled out.
"And what evidence do you have then?" Kakashi asked, his training finally taking over as he stared coldly at the rash mage. Ricky took a step back at the look, "I've been fighting in wars since I was six, boy, I think I know what it felt to do that."
"Bullshit," Ricky spat out unsteadily, but before he could react Kakashi was already behind him.
"I may not be as fast as Naruto when he's using Hiraishin or Sasuke when he's using his space teleportation, but I can still manage a fast enough speed – enough speed, to survive the war. Tell me, apart from this one, how much combat have you seen in total?" Kakashi growled behind Ricky, "Nothing, so shut the hell up and stay out of the conversation. We are right now mercenaries, guns for hire, do not make us betray our contract."
After that, Kakashi disappeared only to reappear beside Yamato, with his team looking non too phased, with Jaina and Lina having experienced that sort of speed before from Naruto. Sylvanas, however, looked in hidden awe at Kakashi's speed. And Naruto's faster? She wondered mentally. Ricky quickly left the scene, but before that he shot a look at them all, softening as he looked at Jaina. What he saw, on the other hand, was disappointment in Jaina's eyes, before he left.
"Sorry… he's extremely jealous, and had Naruto not been such a high… well, rank I suppose, I doubt he would have acted like that. I guess the war must've gotten on his nerves finally," Jaina explained as they shrugged, "But still, what do we tell them?"
"Tell them…" Kakashi said, "That we are… going to investigate what it is for now, and with Naruto out, we should be able to convince them better. I doubt they will know how fast Naruto can travel, especially with Gamabunta, and I doubt any of them know about… it."
"It?" Jaina asked, "You mean the-"
"Not here," Kakashi said, "But yes, that it. Technically our law is still in effect, and if you were to speak it out loud…"
"You would have to kill me," Jaina said with finality, "I understand, I guess… I'll speak to them, keep the order around inside the castle please, well… except Kakashi, can you come with me please? I would need someone who's more experienced in such a matter to help if things get too bad."
"Yes… your majesty," Kakashi said as the team bowed and exited, leaving Jaina, Lina, Sylvanas, and Kakashi as they walked out. The entirety of the population. Whether it be high elves, dwarves, or humans, all gathered in front of the castle, awaiting the announcement.
"Citizens of Theramore," Jaina began, "Just now, a large source of power, possibly demonic in origin, has been felt throughout this entire island, and I'm sure many, if not most of you, have felt the disturbance despite not trained in the arts of magic. We do not know what it is, but we have already sent a scout, Naruto Namikaze, who was the summoner of the giant toad you have saw earlier, to investigate. Until we have further information, there is nothing we can do but hope that it was not the doings of the Scourge, and hopefully was the sign that a demon in the Legion has been vanquished."
There was silence in the population for a moment, before someone bravely spoke up, "Lady Proudmoore, could you explain just who this Naruto Namikaze is? He appeared out of nowhere, in our eyes, and suddenly fought the battles against the undead, which we are grateful for, yet… we don't even know who he is."
"Think of him as… an unsung hero who have become noticed in recent times," Kakashi said after it was clear Jaina was trying to think of what to say.
"And who, if I may, are you, sir?"
"I am a simple emissary for Lady Proudmoore," Kakashi said quickly, yet clearly, and the crowd seemed to accept the notice, "Until further information is acquired, I would like everyone to return to what they were doing before, please. There is nothing currently to worry about, and if a demon is coming, I assure you that we will defend this island with all our might."
The crowd, after hearing the reassurance, quickly departed, hope once again in their eyes. Jaina turned to Kakashi, "You're awfully calm about this."
"Years of training in diplomacy, actual diplomatic missions, as well as trying to divert Naruto's attention away from what he's not suppose to learn or know yet," Kakashi replied as Jaina deadpanned.
"That's quite…" Jaina was left speechless.
"A variety of jobs?" Lina supplied helpfully.
"Yeah, let's call it that," Jaina said as the group left the grounds and returned. "We need to get back to training, and to figure out how to kill Archimonde."
"Archimonde?" Kakashi asked.
"The demon that ravaged Azeroth, our homeland, and is on the way here to claim the ultimate power on this world, the Well of Eternity, which, I may add, used to be a myth passed down by the elves until the night elves confirmed it."
"What's so powerful about it?" Kakashi asked.
"When the original Well of Eternity was destroyed," Jaina said, pausing, "Legend has it that it shaped the world that we stand on today – legend has it that an event known as 'the Sundering' occurred, and that the power was so great that not only did it tear the continent in half, but it also created a maelstrom of energy in the center which will engulf everything that goes too near the whirlpool center."
"Impressive," was all Kakashi said as he pondered on the event, "Hold on, the original Well? What about now?"
"A new Well was created by Illidan from the information provided by Malfurion Stormrage," Jaina explained, "It holds just as much power as the old Well of Eternity, and now… the Burning Legion has set its sights on it again."
"That would prove… disastrous if this Archimonde gets to it," Kakashi finally said, "Regardless, we must continue on your training, Jaina. However, I would like it if you and Lina were to train together so I can oversee both your training at least until Naruto returns."
"Very well," Jaina said as they moved back to the courtyard to attempt to shred the leaf again. Kakashi looked at the direction which Naruto had gone to, and thought briefly to himself, Minato-sensei… he looks just like you when you summon Gamabunta, and not only that… I wonder when he'll surpass you – no, to what extent he'll surpass you actually…
Far away, Naruto finally woke up, his injuries nearly completely healed, and he turned and saw the three night elves looking at him, with the female druid standing a ways away guarding, while the cub leaned by him, softly licking his face.
"So… you expect me to tell you my story now, right?" Naruto finally said as he stretched and stood up, the cub jumping onto Naruto's head as he absentmindedly scratched it under the chin.
Well, here's the next chapter, I guarantee that I won't finish the next chapter before I leave though, I'm sorry. As compensation though I'll try to make the next one as long as I can.
And thus, sorry GoldenGod Rah, while your three guesses are sound, you're wrong – answer is in the story, the Hiraishin no Jutsu. Doesn't mean Naruto can spam it though – as I have pointed out the flaring of chakra costs so much that Naruto can't really spam the technique as he did with the Kage Bunshin. Yes, I've already thought of the elemental composition version of the Hiraishin… well based on the concept at least – it won't be anything like the Hiraishin though, can't tell you more until I refine it however. Clue is in… I think the second chapter or something, whatever.
