A/N: I am ashamed… I have procrastinated too much, I'm truly sorry. Let's get back too it shall we!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, LoTR, Overlord, or WoW.
High in the skies above the island of Whirlpool, a blue eye watched the unholy creatures work intently. From inside the giant tower sat Naruto, controlling said eye, overseeing all the work that was being done. Orcs, undead, and minions alike ran around, building machines of death. The left side of the island was covered in snow, black storm clouds twisted in the sky, sustained by black magic.
The right side was barren, smoke rose into the sky, and the sounds of hammers banging against metal were heard. Under the island in the caverns below laid the spawning pits for the orcs and minions, after all every lord needs an army. The undead were produced on the left side of the island; Kel'Thuzad had found hundreds of gravesites and got to work immediately. As each day went by, Naruto's army grew in strength.
The white haired lord opened his eyes when he heard a slight rapping on his door. "Enter." He said loudly. The door opened to reveal a green minion, this one dressed in black, several short swords were strapped to his back. As he hobbled in, he took out a small scroll and offered it to his master. The whiskered king took it without question and began to read its contents.
Naruto raised a brow as he looked at his spy master, "Is this information correct, Sasu?" The minion nodded silently. Naruto smiled devilishly, "Then go gather the council, we have some exams to take." The scarred minion let out a chuckle before running out of the room to complete his task.
An hour later
The council room was silent as Naruto made his way to the other side of the table, taking his seat at the head, seated at the table was Doc, Gnarl, The witch king, Kel,Thuzad, and an Uruk'hai chieftain. Naruto looked at the creatures gathered at the table, noticing that two were missing. "Now where are-" his thoughts were cut off as two hooded figures entered the room silently and sat down in the two remaining chairs. One was larger than the other with an enormous sword strapped to his back. Glowing blue eyes were the only features exposed by their hoods.
Naruto smirked, "How are you liking your new life or should I say afterlife, Zabuza, Haku?"
Flashback, a couple days ago.
Zabuza awoke with a start, breathing heavily. As he calmed down, his past memories came to him, and he looked down in sadness, before taking a look at the room he was in. Bloody surgical tools lay around the room, and rusty chains dangled from the ceiling. "So this is hell huh…thought it would be warmer." He said out loud, before his eyes caught something, on another table lay his surrogate daughter Haku.
"NO! She was innocent, why is she here?!" he thought fearfully, he deserved this, not her.
"Do not worry, you're not in hell, well… I guess that depends on your point of view." Zabuza whirled around, his eyes meeting the black and red ones of someone he had never seen before. He was maybe fourteen or fifteen; a black cloak hid his form.
"I brought you two back to life because I'm in need of your skills." Zabuza's eyes widened, "So that means" His thoughts were cut off by a groan from the other side of the room. The brown haired swordsman was across the room in an instant, helping Haku up. "Uuuuh, Zabuza-sama?" the young girl asked as her vision began to clear.
Naruto made his way over to the two missing-nin, "Take it easy; undeath will take some time to get used to."
Flashback end
After that, the white haired man explained what he had done, at first they were skeptical at the thought of being undead, but after using some of the abilities that came with being a Death Knight, they had believed him. They gave their allegiance willingly, what they didn't know was that Naruto could bend their will at his command, but he would allow them the freedom of choosing who to follow….as long as it was him.
"Before I address the reason you are here, give your reports on our progress, and identify problems that need to be fixed."
The orc chieftain stood first, "The army grows my lord, soon we will have enough to lay siege to those that refuse your offer of piece, but resources are growing scarce, we will have to make for the mainland soon." Naruto nodded, he too had seen the growing lack of green on the right side of Whirlpool.
The Witch King stood next, "Creating the fell beasts is a difficult process, but we have succeeded on more than one occasion, also there is the matter of bringing the other eight wraiths back into this world." Naruto nodded once more as a brown minion wrote down what he needed to do.
Next up was Doc, "The production of the plague is going well, and soon we will even have a version that can be released into the air, it will be glorious!" Naruto smiled at the mad chemist's enthusiasm. Gnarl shook his head; he had nothing new to report.
"All right then, the reason I called for this meeting was to address our current standing in the world, I believe it is time to show ourselves, the annual chunin exams are being hosted by Konoha this year, we will enter these exams, and reveal the might of our country. The team that will go will include Fu, Haku, and me."
Gnarl looked at his master with some confusion in his eyes, "Uh, master, who is going to represent us as our Kage?"
Naruto smiled as he looked at the Witch King, who only nodded in acceptance. "If I were to go as our Kage I would not be taken seriously, and I want my fellow leaders to tremble in fear at the mere sight of you!"
Doc cleared his throat, "What should we call ourselves?" Naruto grinned further, his eyes pulsed red.
"Senso no Kuni, War country."
After the meeting ended Naruto made his way to his chambers. He stopped when he saw Fu standing in front of his door, obviously waiting for him. "Hey, Naruto-kun, can we talk?" Naruto gave her a small smile, "Of course." He opened his door for her then stepped in himself, closing it as he entered. As he took of his cloak, Fu had to try her best to fight the growing red that dusted her cheeks.
Naruto placed his cloak on one of the armor racks before turning to his green haired friend. "What did you want to talk about?" he asked curiously. Fu stood there, her eyes wide and her mouth dry. She fidgeted nervously with her fingers. Seeing this Naruto stepped closer, not helping Fu at all, as her face turned a shade redder. Naruto looked at her burning face before an idea struck him.
He gently blew on her face, his breath enhanced with frost magic, cooled her down enough to where she could think properly. "Naruto-kun, we've been friends for a while now and I think I'm starting to." She mumbled the last part under her breath. Naruto leaned in closer, his nose almost touching hers. She sighed, "I think I'm starting to like you." She said quickly her words running over each other.
Naruto's eyes widened a little before he leaned back, an unreadable look in his eyes. "You can't." He said simply. Fu's eyes widened in shock, "What? Why? Did I do something wrong?" she asked trying to mask the hurt that was dripping from her voice. Naruto gave her a bitter smile, "No you did nothing wrong, but pursuing that road with me will only get you hurt in the long run, I accepted the fact that I would never find love long ago, for what women would want a monster?"
The green haired girl felt the tears fall down her face as she took in Naruto's solemn expression, before she threw her arms around him in a gentle but firm hug. Naruto looked at her, his eyes filled with emotion. "I don't care." The green haired muttered into his chest. The white haired man gently kissed the top of Fu's head.
"I am… conflicted, if I accept her affections, my enemies could come after her, but if a refuse, I could hurt her more deeply than anything else…."
A/N: I will be working on this story more diligently now; Fu and Naruto's relationship has progressed. Don't worry more fluff in the future! Next chapter is coming soon!
BYE BYE!
