ATTENTION! A couple of things before we get started, I'm in need of a writer who is able to write fight scenes in great detail, PM me if you are interested as I don't want to spoil anything for you readers!
Second thing, I'm going to set up a pole, you can now vote for either a sequel to this story or a different story, either way it will most likely involve World of Warcraft.
Disclaimer: You guessed it; I OWN NOTHING….except my OCs, shocking isn't it.

Naruto stood on the docks of Wave country, his sinful armor covering his frame. The only piece that was missing was his disturbing helmet, which sat in his quarters on his ship. His fleet had sailed across the sea and was now waiting patiently at least a mile away from shore, showing that they were not hostile. The warlord's cloak flapped in the salty breeze. He turned his attention to a small group of people approaching him. Tazuna was flanked by two samurai guards, who he dismissed as he took in the sight of Naruto with a smile.
The older man was wearing finer clothes, a straw hat rested on his head, and several sake bottles were hooked to his belt. The old bridge builder clasped Naruto's armored hand in a firm handshake, looking up at the white haired man as he did so. The boy he had seen years ago had grown. "What brings you to Wave my friend?" The dark lord's face lost its humor. "I'm preparing an assault on the leaf village, I humbly ask for your consent to use your home as a command center till we are ready to travel."
Tazuna stroked his facial hair in thought, "The people of Wave are allies with the leaf, and it won't look good on us if we betray an ally. Plus a lot of our supplies originate from Konoha." Naruto placed a hand on the old man's shoulder. "I understand your dilemma, perhaps this will help." The over lord passed Tazuna a small sack. The old bridge builder took it and looked in it inquisitively, before gasping dramatically. "I know that Wave is still trying to undo Gato's damages, these are some of the most valuable stones in the elemental countries."
Tazuna beamed thankfully, "With this we can PURCHASE our supplies from any village!" Naruto smiled before leading Tazuna back in the direction of his ship, "Let us further our negotiations within the confines of my warship."
The two men conversed over several flasks of sake, deciding on where the overlord's forces would reside and prepare for the future conflict. Tazuna left the ship with a bottle in hand, laughing merrily. Naruto sat at his desk in his captain's quarters regarding some maps, before a green minion appeared on the table holding a scroll. Naruto took the message from Sasu and read it carefully, before rereading it. "And this is accurate?" The scarred minion nodded.
The dark lord smiled fiercely. "Good. Fetch me Utakata; tell him I have a task for him." The green assassin vanished from sight, a few moments later and a death knight walked into the room. He had black hair that went down to his chin, his clothing was meager, he had no shirt, robes concealed his waist down, his hands were protected by clawed gauntlets, and a menacing long sword was strapped to his belt. He bowed; his face was blank, as were his glowing cerulean eyes.
"You summoned me, master?" Naruto smirked at the undead former jinchuuriki. "Konoha is prepared for our arrival, I think we should soften them up a bit, send a ripple of fear through their forces. Go to the hidden mist, and wipe them out. Take a horde of scourge warriors." Utakata spun towards the exit, before Naruto spoke once more.
"Oh and Utakata, take Yagara with you."

Fu gazed out at the ocean wistfully from her room's terrace, holding a hand over her belly. She smiled happily at the thought of the pint-sized bundle of joy growing inside of her. The green haired female quivered slightly as the breeze blew past her. "Milady, please come inside, you will catch your death of cold out here." Fu smiled at Haku, the young death knight had agreed to stay behind and safeguard the lover of her master. The seven tailed jinchuuriki strolled into her chamber, met by her two adopted children, which so happened to be Mandy and Grendel, two of the seven deadly sins.
Envy had made leaps and bounds at concealing his sorrow, and Pride had relaxed just enough to stop being so cold towards Whirlpool's inhabitants. They still had a ways to go though, but Fu was helping them along the entire way. The soon to be mother gave one last look towards the ocean, before giving a silent prayer for her husband's safe return.

A mist jounin sighed as he paced across the docks, before he stopped brusquely. He kneeled, gazing into the waters below. He gasped as a steel-clad hand shot from the gloomy waters, gripping his face and dragging him into the abyss, the water turned red seconds later. Several decomposed scalps arose from the water; followed by bodies, soon hundreds of undead trudged out of the sea and into the bog, heading for the war torn village. Utakata idly studied his blood covered gauntlet, before a chilling smile stretched across his face.

Mei Terumi stood on the ramparts of her village beholding the immense number of undead with wide eyes, "ALL NINJA TO THE WALLS NOW!" but it was too late, in a flash of green energy a large hole was blown into their fortifications, permitting the horrors to run in, slaying all within their path. Out of the smoke walked an unholy death knight, flanked by several geists. "Burn the village to the ground, but the Mizukage is mine." The creatures snarled before running into the village.
Nearby an abomination swung its cleaver into a building, destroying it in a spectacle of flying rubble. Ghouls feasted on the flesh of civilians and ninja alike. Utakata turned slightly when several undead were destroyed by a surge of lava. "You are going to die for what you've done Utakata!" The ex-mist ninja glared darkly at the Mizukage, "We were friends once, in a past life, but I have discarded those memories, just as I have discarded you." The man drew his blade, before pointing it at the beautiful woman.
The two warriors clashed in a whirlwind of steel and jutsu, as every second passed the scourge plowed deeper into the village. Utakata pushed Mei back before forming a death coil in his hand; he threw the unholy skull at the weakened Mizukage, who was barely able to dodge. The explosion threw her several feet away, she didn't get back up. The death knight gestured to two ghouls, who picked the wounded woman up by her arms and dragged her back to him.
He raised her head, digging his claws into her scalp before grinning cruelly. "Watch, as your beloved village burns, and as your loyal shinobi turn into warriors of the scourge!" Mei watched in muted horror as her people were slaughtered then reanimated into mindless killing machines before her very eyes. She turned her attention to another armored man who stepped in front of her, he removed his hood revealing the ex-Mizukage. "Remember killing me? Allow me to return the favor!" the Mizukage coughed up blood as Yagura's blade ripped through her chest. "ALL HAIL NARUTO!"
In the swamp neighboring the village numerous shunshins could be overheard as different spies left to report this massacre to their Kages.

Tazuna observed Naruto's army warily as they unloaded the warships, and spoke with each other. Although he was curious as well, he had never seen such beings in his entire life. Suddenly a teenage Inari ran towards the working Uruks, Tsunami's concerned shouts following behind him. The young lad looked up at the orcs, his mouth slightly agape as he observed the intimidating creatures.
One of the older orcs snorted as he put down a crate, "What do you want, fleshling?" Inari rubbed the back of his head bashfully, "Uh, sorry for bothering you, but I was wondering if I could hold your weapon? I've never seen anything like it." The orc chuckled, before smirking, "I dunno, can a small pinkskin, such as you, handle orcish steel?" Inari saw the spark of mirth in the old orc's eyes, the teenager nodded in determination.
The other Uruks chuckled as old Zog unsheathed his scimitar, before flipping it and holding out the handle towards Inari. As soon as the boy grasped it the gray haired orc let it go, making Inari's eyes widen at its weight as he struggled to lift it. Zog laughed heartily as he patted the boys back roughly. "You'll get used to it short stuff, hmm I have something more your size." The older orc lifted the cleaver from Inari's hands with practiced ease, and quickly sheathed the war blade, before reaching for the back of his belt and pulling out a dirk.
Inari grinned giddily as the old Uruk handed him a blade that was about the size of his forearm. The teenager marveled at the smooth black steel, noticing its razor edge. Zog watched with a small smile as Inari took a couple swings, before turning around and getting back to work. Inari stopped as a smooth voice called from behind him. "It's good to see you again, Inari"
The teen whirled around with a big smile on his face, "Nee-san!" Naruto smiled as the boy wrapped his arms around him in a brotherly hug. Tsunami watched from the side a smile on her face as she watched the heartwarming scene.

Naruto looked up from his work as an orc peered into his large tent, "Milord, Utakata is back from his campaign." The dark lord nodded, "Send him in." The Uruk saluted before exiting the tent, a moment later and the aforementioned death knight walked into the tent, kneeling before his master, "We were victorious, Mist has been crushed by the cold hand of death." Naruto frowned regretfully, before sighing, "I wish I could have seen it burn. Is there anything else death knight?"
Utakata reached behind him pulling out a package and handed it to Naruto, who proceeded to dump the pack's contents onto his desk. Several scrolls fell out with a thud, two red, and two white. The overlord dismissed his warrior, before sitting behind his desk and picking up a red scroll. "Red means war, white is neutral, and green is peace or comradeship." muttered Naruto to himself, before smirking. "Who did I piss off this time?"
He opened the scroll and read it, his smirk turning into a grin. Inside the scroll was the word WAR in large red letters, with a leaf symbol beneath it, quite simple really. He dropped it and picked up the next red scroll and read excitedly, as if he were a child who was just told that they were getting a puppy. "HAHA! That runt of a Kage wants to wage a war against me!? He will die like the rest." Naruto threw the declaration of war from the Tsuchikage into the waste bin. Next was the white scroll.
"Hmm, it seems Kumo wants to remain neutral, A probably knows that I have his brother in my ranks." The white haired lord placed it off to the side, before picking up the final white scroll. Naruto smiled, "It seems Temari knows I have her brother as well. The time to move is fast approaching.
The next day the overlord summoned his ex-jinchuuriki to the center of the camp. Naruto stood in front of his kneeling warriors, "We recently received two neutrality letters, one from Suna and one from Kumo." As he said this three of the seven death knights stiffened, Naruto saw this and chuckled. "You have nothing to fear, unless they engage me first. I have decided to allow those of you from these villages to visit your kin for a couple days, you leave tomorrow, dismissed. As for the rest of you I have an assignment for you to carry out."
Gaara, Yugito, and Bee left for their tents after saluting their master. Naruto looked at the remaining four knights. "I'm giving you two battalions of Uruks for you to command, we need to strike our enemies first! Burn Iwagakure to the ground, Zabuza and the Witch king will accompany you. DO NOT fail me." The four ex-nin saluted, before turning brusquely, heading towards their tents to prepare for the coming battle. As soon as the orders spread through the camp orcs could be seen rushing around with feral smiles stretched across their faces, eager to go fight a war.

Pain looked at all of his subordinates, before nodding. "We will need all of our members to do what we are going to do." Hidan's eyes narrowed, "What might that be leader-sama?" Everyone turned to Pain, waiting for an answer.
"We are going to go retrieve the seven tails."
