Overfox.

"NARUTO!"

"SASUKE!"

Two attacks of unimaginable power collided with each other then unnatural white light consumed all. When Naruto opened his eyes he saw only darkness suddenly a green fires appeared showing a corridor made from some black stone. He followed the lead until the end, it led him to a large room where on the throne sat a figure in the white robes.

"AHH! MY LITTLE CHILD YOU FINALY CAME HERE AND ALIVE NO LESS!"

"Alive?" asked Naruto, "What do you mean?"

"I MEAN THAT YOU ARE IN SHINIGAMI'S DOMAIN IN MY DOMAIN." Finally Naruto managed to see who was speaking to him: a demonical face, purple skin and strange looking tanto, just like humans imaged him, the Shinigami himself was right before his eyes, some part of Naruto's brain noted that he was only living person who can tell that.

"YOU HAVE A STRONG MIND MY CHILD, NOT MANY CAN TAKE IT SO CALMLY, THAT THEY ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF GOD OF DEATH HIMSELF, I MEAN. BUT WHY I DECIDED TO BRING YOU HERE? SIMPLE, I NEED YOUR SERVICES IN ONE DELICATE MATTER."

Naruto raised his brow "And what kind of help need a God of Death?"

Shinigami sighed "YOU SEE, CHILD. I HAD A DEAL WITH CERTAIN MORTAL, IN RETURN FOR MY SERVICES, HE PROMISED ME HIS SOUL, BUT HE TRICKED ME AND ESCAPED TO ANOTHER WORLD."

"And where I came to this shit?" asked Naruto

"YOU WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING, THE ONE WHO MADE A DEAL WAS YOUR FATHER, MINATO NAMIKAZE!"

Naruto gasped in shock "you mean my own father…"

"SEALED BIJUU IN YOU AND MANAGED TO NOT PAY A PRICE? YES HE DID. BUT I CAN GIVE YOU A CHANCE FOR REVENGE I WILL GENETICALY MODIFY YOUR BODY WITH KYUUBI'S DARK HALF, WHICH YOUR FATHER LEFT HERE WHILE HE ESCAPED, IT WILL TURN YOU INTO A LYCANTHROPE ONLY YOU WILL LOOK AS AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC KYUUBI, YOU WILL BE IMMUNE TO THE SILVER WEAPONS, AND YOUR BODY WILL BE AS HARD AS KYUUBI'S, IF EVERYTHING WILL GO ACCORDING TO THE PLAN YOU WILL HAVE AN ADDITIONAL TRAINING FROM THE PEOLE OF THAT WORLD AND FROM YOUR LITTLE FURRY FRIEND."

"But what about Ko…" started Naruto, when shinigami raised his hand, by his will the space before them twisted and showed Konoha, Naruto saw the happy civilians and shinobi, before shinigami asked him.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT ARE THEY CELEBRATING?"

"No"

"YOUR DEATH." At those words Naruto felt like his world started to crumble. "OF COURSE IF YOU TAKE MY DEAL, YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR REVENGE UPON THEM TOO."

"…"

"WHAT, WHAT? I DIDN'T HEAR."

"I said: deal"

That was a start for my great adventure. I remember, when I came to that world in my werefox form I was found by Lord Scott he belonged to organization known as BEOWULF, hordes of werewolves united by one goal: war.

They were considered the best warriors of that world and still are, so they sold their blades and served as mercenaries, that was something that I did as ninja, so there wasn't much change in my life, however Lord Scott had a bit of personal agenda behind his noble deed, you see beowulves usually fought in pairs, one quick member and one heavy hitter, his sole grandson Angel (Angie) Arvenanto was twelve years old, fastest of his generation and still without partner, usually partners are picked in four years age, but there wasn't anybody strong enough to be an equal to Angie's monstrous speed.

At my first moments in Grivaga (later I found it was the world's name) first who I met was bandits, so Lord Scott found me in the center of slaughter that I made. He needed someone strong, young and with skills to work in team, and he found me, a boy with no family bonds ( except my bastard of a father ), no one to manipulate him or somebody to try and gain through him, a perfection in a way.

Before I met Angie I thought, that Haku was the most feminine looking boy I would ever met, before Angie… I mean seriously he looked nearly like Hinata, especially the haircut. But that didn't mean anything to me, we trained, we fought and we enjoyed life together.

Until that fateful day when we turned fifteen. The Day of Challenge or the Coming of Age Ceremony.

Usually it happens in Norska, the lands of ice and blizzards, where only fittest will survive. There were ten of us, young, confident and powerful. Only two returned. Nearly all decided to go in pairs, but me and Angie, allied ourselves with other pair Graham and Argus. It happened on our fifth day in frozen tundra, we met a strange beast it looked like it suffered some kind of disease. Before we could do anything it wounded Graham, and vanished without trace.

Angie was a second victim of this lands, he felt weaker and weaker until he couldn't stood anymore, Argus was tired but he tried to look confident. Strangely only I was healthy enough it was painful to move, but pain was my companion through all my life and after every step I made, I felt more and more easy and powerful.

One day I returned, only to find Graham fully transformed and red from Argus' blood. After that I remembered only my roar when I transformed and something wet, warm and red on my hands, I don't remember how I found watchers, I don't remember how I managed to save Angie, but it wasn't the worst, when we returned we found that our kingdom is endangered by Magic Plague, a disease originated from Wastelands, where the Great Cataclysm happened.

Many our brothers fell to that disease turning into despicable monsters. After three years of struggle we decided that we need a new place to settle down, our choice was Tristain a kingdom on North reigned by young queen, by the name Henrietta , and completely consumed by civil war.

We needed refuge; she needed loyal and skilful warriors. A deal that was beneficial to both sides. I remember how me and Angie led our people into battle, how enemy's forces were consumed by fear, when Black and White Generals appeared on battlefield. Our win was nearly inevitable, only thing that got on my nerves were Agness and Aldra twins who commanded Henrietta's all – female bodyguards corps. At night before the final battle I found that they were just tsundere, m-m-m a very pleasurable discovery.

Angie became Queen's consort, when she found out about our "wild side" we thought that she would freak out, but she cuddled him like a puppy, couldn't blame her, he is big white and fluffy, a definition of girl's "cute things".

Several months everything was right, but then a delegation of witches from Kunfshon arrived. Kunfshon… one of the four columns of magic in this world, created by witches who are the main supporters of the emperor of Island Empire, I had nothing against them for they are one of the main opponents of Alnus Empire.

Why I hate Alnus Empire so much?

Fifteen years ago their emperor died leaving no male heir behind, south empire was on the verge of civil war, many wanted the crown and young beautiful princess, until one young general killed or blackmailed others and finally became an emperor, he also started a big harem to marry different woman and create a "political shield" through this.

You ask what's the problem?

He came out of nowhere, made a fast career, from soldier to general just into three years, and he was blond, as you already understood it was my father. So now I'm a big brother for a bunch of younger sisters (karma is a bitch after all, he hadn't any sons).

Anyway witches arrived to congratulate their old ally (to whom they didn't give any help) and to investigate the magical plague, they thought that there were ill ones with latent disease among us.

I need to explain that witches also like to organize wars against their Great Evil (read political opponents), they also had an habit to hire the best of the best, add to this their fascination with feminine boys and hatred to "brutes" and an habit to delay our paychecks, a passionate "love" was inevitable on both sides.

We managed to hide the fact that Angie was on squad where first mutated were, but I on the other hand… I sensed their fear of me so I understood if my brethren will resist them more, another war will be upon us, a war, which we were unprepared for.

So I and Angie created a plan: he sends me to a Norska to find a source of disease or intervention of a third party, basically we gave them a card – blanch, and we waited for them to use it.

Several month has passed since I went to Norska alone in this white wasteland I tried to understand where I failed and how to prevail over the wretched witches, for months I searched the land of Norska end never found the corrupted land, a clear sign of Magical Plague, which led me to another more terrifying answer: it was a trap all along.

Made for the future leaders of beowulves, most of the younger clan heads died that day, others perished in Plague War, it didn't matter that beowulves survived they are refuges in kingdom which is ruled by witches from shadows, I needed to solve this problem and solution came in most extravagant shape: it resembled an altar or place of power and was located in the ruins of old tower, with first step I understood that place somehow answered to my presence with blue flash of energy everything exploded and then, there was only darkness.

Naruto slowly raised his head his sight was still blurry, but at least he could see, and found himself face to face with grey, ugly, gremlin – like creature. And then something happened that surprised him to nearly impossible level the creature raised his hands and screamed:

"You miserable pieces of garbage, Browns, Greens, Reds, Blues! Get over here! The power of the Netherworld had chosen us a new Master!

Several hours later.

"So, Gnarl... is it?" asked Naruto.

"Yes Master, and you are our new Overlord, Fifth to be exact."

Naruto raised a brow "Fifth? And what happened to the other four?"

Gnarl smiled showing the rows of sharp fangs. "You must be wary about The Third and Second, you see sire, when Dark Tower was besieged, the Second lost his body, and possessed a body of an old wizard, a leader of the group of heroes, who destroyed and looted his Tower, he lost his body due to the efforts of the Eighth Hero and he lost his crown to him also, during the Minions Civil War when he returned and tried to reclaim position of the Overlord from Eighth Hero, who we turned into his successor."

Gnarl made a pause and continued "And of course the Third Overlord himself who is imprisoned inside of Abyss Hell. Thought he is imprisoned there he rules over Abyss and is extremely powerful and of course you should be aware of the previous candidate for the post of Overlord."

Naruto was surprised "There was somebody before me?"

Gnarl chuckled "Several actually." and then suddenly his face became serious and his eyes filled with hate. "But only one was insane enough to made a Second Great Cataclysm, he actually looked a lot like you and was from the line of Overlords, the descendant of the Fourth actually, and you know what that idiot did?"

Gnarled raised his hand looking like he wanyed to hear Naruto question him, but continued nonetheless. "He tried to erase all evil from the world using the Tower Heart, naïve and idealistic fool, only in darkness light can be seen."

"Idiot." commented Naruto.

"Yes, but it wasn't the worst thing, the Tower Heart exploded and the Second Great Cataclysm happened, even though most of the energy was scattered through the place now known as Wastelands now, he still managed to absorb some power, it made him stronger and more powerful than any human."

"When did it happen actually?" asked Naruto.

"It happened more than eighteen years ago." replied Gnarl. "And last time we checked he was making career in Alnus Empire army. The power in him slowly pushed him to positions of power, but the problem lies in it: he cannot control it's corruptive tendencies. Use it – yes, control – no. He will need more power, more gold, more women, more lands. Until he wouldn't misstep or find someone who is more stronger than him and that someone will put an end to his miserable existence."

"And the name of this man?" after Gnarl's speech Naruto's voice sounded somehow… strange.

"Name? Hmmm, if I remember clearly his name started with "M" mused Gnarl

"…"

"What did you say sire?"

"Minato."

"Yes, sire it was… S – sire?"

"He cannot do a shit, without fucking up, that bastard father of mine."

Hours later.

"So, Gnarl, report me our overall situation."

Gnarl scrubbed the back of his head "WEEEL, actually everything isn't so bad sire. Weaponry of your predecessor is still in your possession and in perfect condition, but all our totems and Tower objects are lost to us, thankfully Infernal Armor of the Fourth Overlord still can be used, we can remodel it a bit, according to your tastes, sire. Also unlike other times we still have all our Hives and number of your minions reached several thousands."

Naruto scrubbed his chin "Good, the lack of magic will not be so dangerous with ninja techniques I have, with my body infused with demonic power and super speed regeneration and also vast chakra reserves, lack of magical and health Totems will not be so critical, but the lack of minions…"

Gnarl coughed several times getting his master's attention "That's why I told you about Infernal Armor, sire, Infernal Helmet will grant you a bare minimum of the Horde – five minions. They will help you in attaining the Tower Objects."

Naruto smiled "Perfect. And Tower condition?"

"Everything is a bit dusty, but still in one piece, we will clean everything soon, and when you find yourself a Mistress or two, or three, or… more. We will redecorate the Tower according their whishes."

"Hmm, that's actually not bad at all, also I want the Infernal Armor to get more protection for arms and legs, like the Third had and found me a black stylish cape."

Several months later.

It's been several months after Naruto received his new improved Infernal Armor, five Browns clad in black, minion's armor followed him, for past months Naruto managed to know Kyuubi's name and reach a full Bijuu Mode, two days ago Gnarl managed to find a strange signature that was recognized by Gnarl as Spell Catalysts. So right now Gnarl and Naruto argued about should or should they not go there to acquire the Tower Objects.

"Gnarl. Please try to understand that with only five minions to command I wouldn't achieve a lot of success there, just imagine this: I found all tower objects but without proper minion horde I wouldn't be able to transport them."

Gnarl sighed. "I am completely aware of this sire, yet you have to go. With so many Spell Catalysts together sooner or later they will resonate, after that they could be found by anyone, not only us." He closed his eyes for a moment. "But it isn't the worst sire, after they started to resonate, Tower will resonate too, and it wouldn't be long after that when hordes of adventures, heroes and explorers will come here trying to destroy our dark safe pit."

"Well if you put it like that, then I must go."

Mountains of Forklass.

Mountain regions of Forklass were always a sight to see. Before the great Exodus it was one of the most expensive touristic camps, but after the Exodus different kinds and tribes of trolls made this region their home, due to their habit to capture humans, and the fact that region was filled with Amani ( trolls from WoW), usual trolls and mountain trolls or their other relatives (see Fredrick K. T. Andersson's artwork on Elfwood to get the idea.), other dangers like sabertooth tigers or manticores weren't such a problem. At least Naruto could feel that the artifacts were near the Dark Gates.

"One, two. One, two. Checking. Sire, can you hear me?" Said Gnarl's voice in his head.

"Hey/Hey." Replied both Kurama and Naruto.

"What is it sire, Lord Kurama?"

Kurama growled "It's a bit too crowded here even without you shrimp."

"Quiet it you two I think I can hear something." While Gnarl and Kurama were arguing with each other Naruto didn't stop walking he slowly reached their point of destination only to… whistle at the sight before him.

"I'm soo understanding you Naruto, and soooo envious of you."

Before them laid a rather young, judging by her height, which was barely above eleven meters, female mountain troll, her long green hair covered at least half of the valley where she laid on her back and counting that she was completely naked, Naruto had a good view over her body, it's also needed to be add that female mountain and ordinary trolls are extremely and exotically beautiful in their young age.

She slowly raised her hand looking to the sun through the little blue orb, several long minutes later, Gnarl, Naruto and Kurama, with unimaginable amount of willpower, managed to blink several times and remember their goal, and slowly manage to understand (hot chick was still near) that blue orb in her hand and several near her are lost Tower Objects.

At this point Naruto decided to interfere, he slowly moved to her long pointed ears and said: "You know these aren't yours."

Meldy the mountain troll wasn't mean or crude but like any young troll she tends to be stubborn and sometimes childish "Well now they are mine, and do you know why? Beecause I'm bigger"

Naruto just smirked and with bright flash entered Bijuu Mode "Am I big enough now?"

Meldy's lion – like tail started to move from one side to other very quickly

"Umm, sire, Mountain trolls found extremely appealing everyone who is bigger than them since they are one of the largest species of this world everyone who is bigger than them are either extremely rare or extinct like titans for example, nobody had seen them since they went into their slumber."

"Thanks, Gnarl." replied Naruto "Oi, girl. Eyes here. Emm, giiiirl?"

"Meldy, my name is Meldy" replied she.

"Okay, Meldy could you please stop looking at my lower regions, raise your head a bit and look me into the eyes?" She didn't move her head, but Naruto could bet that she was smiling.

"Yes, I can, but don't wanna." replied she and laughed.

Naruto face palemed. "How about this…" said Meldy "You can have the orbs, but… after we "play" a bit."

Naruto showed Kurama's trademark grin. "I like this kind of games."

Alnus Empire.

Minato was fighting his most dreadful opponent who for nearly twenty years was his bane: paperwork. So first wave of earthquakes just destroyed the mountain of already done paperwork. Suddenly doors burst open and Marius his first advisor burst into room.

"My Emperor we need to get out of the palace right now!"

Minato raised the eyebrow "What's the matter Marius? Hey! Stop pushing me!"

Marius replied while pushing him in the back "Faster sire, we already evacuated everyone you need to get out."

Kunphshon. Central Sactorum.

Witch's HQ was also in state of temporal chaos.

"What's the amplitude?"

"Is that natural?" The voice of the Ribela the Head Witch was only constant in that chaos

"It is not natural, the amplitude is too rhythmical, and power raises from one earthquake to other, it also seems like… thrusts?"

Netherworld Tower.

MASTER! FASTER! MASTER! FASTER! MASTER! FASTER! MASTER! FASTER!Shouts of the minions were so loud that it seems like they were heard on the surface.

24 hours later. Netherworld Tower.

Naruto stepped out from portal, greeted by horde of his loyal minions and grinning Gnarl.

"I must say, sire, it counts as personal record, none of your forefathers managed to do something like what you did."

Naruto growled "Gnarl my personal live isn't an object for records or other public activities, it's mine and mine alone, got it?"

Gnarl smiled showing rows of sharp fangs "Absolutely, sire. But I must add that we managed to locate a strange magical anomaly near the place where you found a Netherworld Gates."

"You have an assumption of what it is?" Gnarl shook his head "I don't think so sire, whatever it is, it's something rather unusual."

Netherworld Gates of Norska region.

Naruto understood that something isn't right the moment he stepped out from the gates. Well, usually large craters didn't appear randomly, trying to figure the reason of such land change, Naruto went down to the center of the crater, a slight golden glow got his attention, Naruto kneeled grabbed the object and pulled out a…

"Scroll?!" shouted Naruto glancing over the object in his hand "Shesh, let's see what it contains…" when Naruto opened a scroll he saw a strange symbols, moment later they glowed, and after bright flash Naruto felt a cold air washing over him.

That was my first encounter with an Elder Scroll, as Paarthurnax, the dragon who I met on the mountain where I appeared, told me, Elder Scroll is a physical manifestation of the Gods' wisdom and power.

It wasn't as crazy as me being… Dragonborn, seriously that freaked me out, and gave me a lot of disturbing thoughts about my ancestors' personal lives, before Greybeards told me the meaning of the title, if my father came from Overlord bloodline then the Dragonborn one came from my mother, by the way what at that moment I knew about my mother?

Nothing.

So I decided to not look the gifted horse in the mouth and just have fun, after all, with Elder Scroll I could return to the same moment I left and new powers will come in handy, my bastard of a father was after all a man, who slaughtered armies by himself, so I needed everything I could get.

I wouldn't tell you about my adventures there when I look back at them they look rather boring, I mean get there kill the dude, get out, that type of adventures I had. But results were rather upsetting; surely I received several daedrical weapons and artifacts, I defeated Alduin, but I couldn't devour his soul, and my evil sense , which I got after becoming the Overlord, was in state of constant work, it always sensed the spirit of Alduin, somewhere near me, and that was getting on my nerves, my only adventure that ended with nearly total success was my fight with Miraak.

I became the strongest Dragonborn who ever lived, at least at that time period, with power to bend the dragons to my will and call upon my dragon's blood to empower myself in battle, yet I made a several enemies alongside Alduin.

There was Delphine the Grandmaster of the Blades, who was enraged by my decision to not kill Paarthurnax, Hermaeus Morah, who wanted soul for his collection, and of course Ulfric the Stormcloack, for our duel started the chain of events which nearly doomed several worlds.

Windhelm. Ulfric's throne room.

Naruto, clad in Miraak's outfit, looked at the man who sat upon his throne and was looking at him from his high place.

"Finally." started Ulfric. "You decided to grace me with your presence. A hero who is hailed across Skyrim as dragonslayer, but also wears the clothes of dragon priest. A hero, who saved Tamriel from vampires' clutches, yet calls several from their kin his "friends", a hero who is called "Daedra Hater", but also bargains with them to have more power. You my young friend is the most unpredictable person I know, and only one who can stop me from reaching the position of High King. Therefore…" he stood up and unsheathed his sword. "You need to die."

Naruto didn't say anything. He rose up the Warlock, the only sword he took from his Armory, his hand charged forward, Ulfric blocked the first strike but felt how his right arm went numb for several moments: young Dragonborn had monstrous power.

With wide swing Naruto chunked Ulfric's sword from his hands. Armless, but not powerless Ulfric called upon his greatest weapon: Thu'um. Thunder voice, which served him greatly in his duel against late High King.

But Naruto was already prepared, he breathed in, preparing a Thu'um of his own. Two warriors: Dragonborn and the Toungue, faced each other in the Duel of the Voice, both of them calling upon the same basic Thu'um:

"FUS! RO! DAH!"

Two power waves summoned by Ulfric and Naruto clashed between the warriors, neither of them wanted to give up, but slowly, little by little, Dragonborn's shouts started to overpower Ulfric's and last one finally shattered his Thu'um, the shockwave from which drove Ulfric into his own throne, after dragging him through entire room, the right half of his face was covered in blood, his arms were broken, and shifted in weird angles, but judging by his breathing he was still alive. Naruto raised Miraak's demonic sword to finish what he started, he breathed out and moved the sword down.

CLANG. Naruto's sword was stopped by strange katana – like sword, and when Naruto moved his gaze from Ulfric's broken body he met an angry gaze of two blue eyes.

"Delphine? Looks like you took my refuse to kill Paarthurnax a bit too close to your heart." Delphine growled but still managed to grab Ulfric and jump away from Naruto.

"And where do you think, you are going? The palace is surrounded, Ulfric is beaten nearly to death, without proper medical treatment, which you couldn't get, he will die."

Delphina smirked. "Esbern! NOW!"

What happened next could only be foreseen by Akatosh himself or Hermaeus Morah, for time, space, knowledge and fate are their domains. Esbern, who was hiding behind the pillar, stepped to the light with an Elder Scroll. He opened it and then everything went really crazy.

Naruto leaped forward trying to reach them, but his grabbed only air. Naruto fell to his knees, still seeing the smirking face of Delphine before his eyes he screamed and cursed her, but instead of human curses something else entirely left his leaps:

"Dur hi Delphine! Aal slen liivor nau hin qeth, fiid hi los maht nahlaas! Zu'u fen siiv hi, ahrk hi fen groso tol hi lost kiin! Tol zu'u vaat! (Curse you Delphine! May flesh rot on your bones, while you are still alive! I will find you, and you will regret that you were born! That I swear!)"

The palace started to shake and crumble, and as his final act Naruto used his power to rip a space and time continuum teleporting himself to random location.

Throat of the world.

When Naruto returned to his senses, first thing he felt was cold, then when he rose to his legs and understood where he was, he heard wings clapping and small earthquake.

Then a tired voice of the old dragon said: Atruk vuldak ko hi, goraan gein, nuz Zu'u nis fun fah pruz uv fah volz. (Something changed in you, young one, but I can't tell for better or for worse.)

Naruto turned to his mentor and replied: Onikaan lost ahzid ken dii mindopah, gah zu'u ont einzuk mindoraan tol ov nix zey ahrk jul los vokorasaal. (Wisdom has a bitter taste my mentor, yet i once again understand that trust between me and humans is impossible.)

Naruto could bet, that if Paarthurnax could, he would have smiled: Fein kuz barlaas nol daar wuth dovah, dreh ni maat jul rem harshly, lost hi ni kosaan heind ol Hun ahrk Saviik zeim pah Keizaal, lost hi ni wahlaan yun ragnavir ko vomedaas dokahl? Ahrk Delphine. .. rek nunon lahney ko ustiid kolos ek nunon krizey lost fahliil, ahrk aaz lost ni poguk. (Than take an advise from this old dragon, do not judge humanity too harshly, have you not been hailed as a Hero and Savior through all Skyrim, have you not created a new family in different guilds? And Delphine... she just live in past where her only opponents were elves and mercy was not an option.)

Naruto smiled and replied: Ahrk ont einzuk hi los viilt, onik gein, Zu'u nalkun fun pah wo praag wah mindok tol zu'u los maht nahlaas, nuz daar los un laat tinvaak fah vomindok zahtiid do tiid. Dreh hi laan wah fun zey atruk? (And once again you are right, wise one, I already told everyone who needs to know that i am still alive, but this is our last discussion for an unknown period of time. Do you want to tell me something?)

Pathurnax once again did that strange expression, that Naruto characterized as smile. "Baar lok fah hi, dii prustiik, ahrk dahmaan waan miil lost volzah ken ko muz niidro ni hin diron." (Clear sky for you, my student, and remember: if woman has a bad taste in men it's not your problem.)

Naruto nodded and once again opened the scroll.

Netherworld Gates of Norska region.

He returned to the same moment when he traveled to Skyrim, even his traces still on the same place, with a move of his hand wind destroyed the evidence of him being there.

Netherworld Tower.

Naruto stood in his personal chambers while Minions were clothing him into his armor.

"Here Sire…" said Gnarl carrying a new armored glove for his right hand. "This glove is magically linked to Arsenal, while you wear it, you have an instant access to your Armory, which will let you change weapons right at the battlefield, or any other place and by the rumors from Spawning Pools, Alnus Epire wanted to start a war."

Naruto raised a brow: "When they are facing the threat of civil war?"

Gnarl smiled: "That isn't a war, like you think, Sire, more like reconnaissance by fire, as you know unrest started from despising the people from Zarkania, one of Imperial Provinces, so Emperor decided that they need "a little glorious war", and decided to attack Tristain, which is still weak from civil war."

"How will it end the unrest?" asked Naruto.

"He made Siegfried the Ever Glorious, who is from Zarkania, the leader of the army. After his victory he will be appointed as Hero of Empire, the highest reward in Alnus ever known for a years of Empire's existence, no one was gisted such a title for a really long period of time, I might add, it will ease the civil unrest."

" Pruzah mu los ko dil draaf, waan ful." (Well we are in deep shit, if so.) cursed Naruto.

"Not so fast, Sire, and please, I know, when you can curse freely on foreign language it is really cool and nobody could catch you on improper behavior, but using Words of Power for this is simply… such a waste."

For a while he ended his lecture and continued. "As you know the Beowulves' HQ is still in Tristain, even if rumors about elves in Siegfried's army are true, they need just one thing to guarantee the victory of Tristain."

"And what is that? Some glorious Hero?" asked Naruto.

"No, Sire, Gnarl turned his back to him, and went to chest near the wall, he opened it and took something from it, then turned back to Naruto, they need a Dark One."

In his hands was the cloak and Dark crown.

Naruto raised a brow "What's so special about the cloak?"

Gnarl smirked "Remember I told you about the Crimson Mantle? Well same perks, just more stylish. And…" he put a crown upon Naruto's head "Remember, that cruelty, suits Dark Overlord, and therefore it suits you, Sire."

Naruto materialized Warlock in his hand and made a swing. "Gnarl start to expand the territory of our domain, in Underworld."

Gnarl bowed "And where will you go, Sire?"

Naruto raised Warlock and looked into his reflection in the sword. "To my hunt for the life – force. Do you know where the attack will start?"

"On Brogild River, Sire. Where they are always trying."

What none of them knew, was the consequences of Emperor's thirst for new territories, an ancient evils once again returned from Oblivion.

Norska. Mountains of Fire Terror.

An ancient volcano which gave the mountain chain it's name was sleeping for several centuries, but what nobody knew about was a castle inside the volcano, ruined and abandoned, it was a shadow of it's former self. The only thing that reminded about it glory was an ebony statue of demonical warrior who sat upon his throne.

Suddenly a strong wind opened the doors, carrying snowflakes with him. The sudden sound which destroyed the silence of the ruined castle, somehow resembled the breathe. Suddenly after the breathing sound, the strange unnatural light from lava, illuminated the statue, and the fire started to burn in statue's eyelashes.

Slowly like from a long dream it raised it's head, with little resistance demonical warrior managed to raise his right and left arms, while stone resisted to his sudden movement he still managed to raise from his stone throne, he bended to grab a handle of the weapon buried in earth with a mighty push he freed a hammer from its stone prison.

He slowly moved, fire and brimstone following him, and stopped only on the cliff, where he started to oversee his lands. When he spoke his voice resembled metal rasp: "Well young one, you wish for a war, I'll give you one." With those words he powered up his hammer, raised it upon his head and smashed it into the earth, the volcano behind him started to erupt.

Plague lands. Corrupted fields.

Old brown minion looked at the red sky on the north, sighed and slowly walked to glowing mass of blue slime.

"It's time."

His unnaturally deep, for minion, voice pierced the ominous silence of the Wastelands. He took a bit of goo in his hands, and lowly moved it to his mouth; a gulping sound was unnaturally loud.

Mutation started nearly instantly small body grew in height and increased the muscle mass, horns slowly grew on his head claws increased in length, and it's battle cry was heard through all Wastelands. Heard and answered it was.

Mutated Minions, peasants, warriors and even beowulves touched by corruption in Plague War, everyone who was touched by Wastelands answered his.

"Hear my call, subjects, Mater of Plague, Lord of Wastelands, The Second Overlord summons you for war!"

Month later. Brogild River.

It was easy to persuade Angie into taking him for war, in his new armor and Dark Cloak, nobody recognized noble, if a bit grim, Black General, in demonic northern warrior. Lord Edmund commanded the forces of Tristain, Naruto had nothing against his old commander, but still he didn't want to reveal himself, after all he was Argus' father.

Under lord's command, beowulves took key positions, but one position was protected by Tristain's forces alone. I was purposely left weak. Brogild's water level was low in this time of year; Siegfried's forces could cross it even without any float, just on foot, even if the water level was sometimes reaching their knees, Imperial forces were stubborn and determined to break the defensive lines, behind them were lands, women and riches, everything to burn, rape and steal and they wanted to take it.

By Siegfried's orders they created large wooden shields, carrying them, Imperial solders were safe from arrows, and counting that all battle mages stay at capital with royal guard, nothing could stop their moving, nothing except marvel or… a bit of trickery.

By lord Edmund's orders near key positions were also hidden catapults, wooden shields granting protection also limit soldiers' visibility, so when lord rose his hand guncrews opened fire, large boulders fell on soldiers' lines and air was filled with screams and moans of wounded and dying people. Soldiers quickly understood that their formation was working against them and after first boulder hit the line, they started to flee, seeing that his army turned into uncontrollable crowd.

Siegfried thought how to change the situation and then he saw that near lord Edmund on the hill where he was, there were no Beowulves, they wore special sets of armor, to change their shape and still be protected.

He knew it was a trap, but it was his only chance, he called his elite forces, among them fifty elves' Blademasters. He made a sign to his mage, who nodded and created the teleport, slowly soldiers followed Siegfried into it. When Siegfried's forces appeared from portal they were met by Tristainians, who even outclassed still fought bravely.

Siegfried was swinging his sword left and right, founding targets in such crowd wasn't a problem, elves were following him finishing his wounded opponents. It seemed that their charge was unstoppable when shockwave threw them into different directions, when Siegfried slowly rose to his feet, he saw the reason of their failure, large warrior clad in dark armor, but the only thing he could see were his glowing eyes.

When he raised his sword, Siegfried barely prepared to his attack, with loud clashing sound, Naruto's sword met Siegfried, from the force of impact Siegfried arms went numb, seconds later second blow followed first, Naruto was like mechanical hammer hitting his opponent without any sign of fatigue, slowly smashing his enemy into the earth soil, while Siegfried was exhausted and breathed hardly.

With his new strike Naruto finally disarmed Siegfried, who with loud "thud" slowly fell to earth; Naruto stabbed his sword near Siegfried's head and put his boot on his enemy's breastplate. Then he made a deep breath and… screamed.

Unrelenting power of his voice, smashed Siegfried into the earth harder, and slowly broke his bones, but shout was still continuing, so piece by piece it tore Siegfried to pieces. Battlefield went into ominous silence; everyone was stunned by Naruto's deed.

And in that silence everyone clearly heard the sound of Naruto's second breath, nobody needed the second guess, enemy's soldiers fled the battlefield, after that Naruto was called the Dark One from Brogild.

Two months after Brogild Slaughter. Netherworld.

"Sire please, this way…" Naruto followed Gnarl to the Armory.

When they reached their destination Gnarl said "Behold, Sire."

And a sight to behold it was, Minions once again upgraded Naruto's armor, final upgrade resembled a mix between Infernal and Arcanium armors of his Forefathers, Armour would cover all his body parts, his commanding glove was from Infernal armor, Infernal Commander would protect his head, his biceps and his legs were also fully covered in metal (unlike his predecessor Naruto favored full- body Armors) his right glove had the same design as on Arcanium Armour, the only difference were runes, that granted him connection to the Armory, Armour's color was the same as Infernal Armour, and like it every prominences on it glowed with demonic energy. After several minutes Naruto was testing his new Armour, everything fit perfectly.

"Sire!" Gnarl ran into the Armouri nearly breaking sound barrier.

"What is it Gnarl?" Naruto was slightly worried, after all for Gnarl to forget that he can teleport into any part of the tower something truly dangerous must happen.

"Northern regions of Norska… They were attacked by Wraiths."

Nothern regions of Norska.

Kirvat, also known as Northern Capital, the richest city in Ice Allaince, (all kingdoms of Norska regions ) was under siege by strange Undead warriors, when Naruto arrived there. He didn't take any minions, and due to his legend this city was hailed as his birthplace ( seriously, most people thought that most warriors with northern style armour, originated from Kirvat, all because of some stereotypes ).

Anyway when Naruto marched through burning streets, to nearly destroyed walls he finally managed to understand the situation, and what he saw he didn't like. Few remaining defenders were slowly overpowered by Undead, but what he concentrated his sight was demonic figure in the broken gates, it slowly passed into the town carrying a giant hammer on his shoulder, looking like he was the master of the world and it infuriated Naruto to no end.

With loud battle cry he charged forward smashing his sword right onto his opponent's head, but to his unlimited surprise with unnatural speed his enemy blocked the attack which would kill a lesser giant. Naruto was stunned from the result of his attack and his opponent immediately used it to his advantage, Bone – crushing hook from his left hand, broke several Naruto's ribs. From pain he fell on his back covering his rib cage.

"You fought bravely, my boy, but your moves are rough and predictable, and you are too focused on your opponent. Look around while you were fighting me my warriors captured all key points of the city's defense, so it's time to die." said the third Overlord, while raising his hammer, suddenly long black shafts raised from the ground and pulled Naruto down. "Gnarl." spitted the Third. "Looks like he managed to keep some secrets to himself, so laugh while you can, Overlord's throne will be mine once again."

Netherworld. Two days later.

"RAAGH" with loud battle cry Naruto cleaved in half his enemy, his loss to the Third, made him angry at himself, he started to count on his abilities far too much and now after reopening of Battle Rock Arena he was fighting with captured enemies under Gnarl's and Gash's watchful eyes, while Quaver was commenting his progress and creating his new poetical masterpiece at the same time.

Several hundreds of chopped opponents later, Naruto was talking to Gnarl.

"…To kill an Overlord? Well, Sire, there are a lot of ways… but most effective and often used is a group of Heroes…" After that Naruto just smiled and locked himself in blacksmith. Gnarl just sighed looking at this, he was already prepared for unorthodox behavior of his unpredictable Master, a Master who unlike previous ones cannot be tricked or betrayed for he was aqs mischievous deceiver as the Chaos itself.

And Gnarl, even as evil and prideful evil being as he was, couldn't challenge somebody with ability equal to the Power Primordial.

Several days later Naruto finally showed Gnarl what he was working on, Seven weapons.

A dagger or perhaps a sword for Halfling.

A two – edged axe, worthy of the mightiest berserker, or some savage God of War.

An elegant bow, worthy even for a King of Elves to carry.

A giant mace, a weapon that his Lord made look beautiful even in its crude form.

A hammer, that looked like it was made from glass, glowing with soft white light.

A staff made from three segments showing scenes of light on Hell, Earth and Heaven.

And finally most elegant and beautiful sword which blade was engulfed by blue flames. All of them made in that "White and Golden" design, which is so popular among Heroes.

"Very beautiful they are, Sire, but why such a…?"

Naruto turned his head to Gnarl and smirked: "Because my dear friend, that those weapons are made by my hands, they bend to my will and created for a simple, yet nearly impossible goal."

Gnarl raised a brow: "Which is?"

Naruto smiled showing his long fangs. "Killing the Third, of course. Now put them into some dungeon and made some maps about how to get to them and don't forget to age them artificially."

Gnarl's eyes started to resemble dinner plates "Why so many complications."

Naruto's smile just grew to nearly impossible length "I'm going to start a Hero party."
