Notes: Yay, I'm finally updating! Oh and by the way, I don't play World of Warcraft that much (tried it once on a trial, lol), so if I get anything wrong with geography or lore, don't flame me too much.

Disclaimer: Whoever thinks I own Naruto needs to have a meeting with my fist. Whoever thinks I own World of Warcraft needs to have very intimate contact with my heel.

A Kitsune's Dream

Chapter 11: Pervert Alert!

It was morning. The birds chirped serenely and the tree leaves rustled softly to the gentle breeze. A wild boar snorted as it scavenged the forest floor. A flock of spring butterflies, newly hatched from their cocoons, flew off into the sky. It was peaceful.

But the harmony was broken by the clanking metal of armor pieces and stomping of heavy feet. A small battered battalion of Paladins that made up the survivors of Louise's Royal Guard walked up the slope of a steep hill. Many were limping, carried on horses or otherwise injured. Derik waved his hand forward. "Come on! Stormwind is just on the other side of this hill!"

One of his corporals tapped his shoulder. "Sir, but where are Princess Louise and the strange fox-boy?"

Derik sighed. "I don't know. But we can only hope for the best. When that boy with the tail shot after the Dark Fangs, something told me not to follow them. Something told me that the boy would be able to save Louise."

The corporal furrowed his eyebrows. "Sir, we cannot put all our faith on a single boy. Nothing short of an upper member from a powerful guild can single-handedly eliminate an entire camp of bandits. Besides, it's been an entire day. Don't you think he'd be back by now?"

A sad look adorned Derik's face. "Y-You're right. What was I thinking, letting one kid go against an entire group of bandits?"

"Not all is lost sir." The other Paladin replied. "Most likely, the bandits have not killed the princess and plan to hold her ransom. She will live."

"But they might do other stuff to Princess Louise. Just thinking about it makes me want to…" Derik scowled as he clenched his fist so hard, the metal on his gloves bent inwards.

The corporal put a comforting hand on his commander's shoulder. "It's better than having her dead."

As they reached the crest of the hill, the group of hurt Paladins looked down upon the city of Stormwind, the largest and most magnificent of the Alliance cities. Its sturdy defenses and standing garrison were only matched by the Horde's capital of Ogrimmar, the undead city of Icecrown Citadel and Illidan's stronghold, Hellfire Citadel. Nothing short of an army larger than the original Orcish Horde of Draenor could break through the large stone walls.

Derik sighed tiredly as he waved his arm forward again. "Onward!"

-

Naruto jumped from tree to tree, carrying a still unconscious Louise on his back. The blonde had gone back to the place where the Dark Fangs' ambush occurred and found that the remaining Royal Guard had already left, leaving only the dead bodies of slaughtered enemies and comrades along with Louise's overturned carriage. He had immediately gone straight for Stormwind, which was roughly southeast of his current location if he remembered correctly.

He hopped quickly through the lower canopy of the large trees in the forest he was in. The blonde had seen many strange things on his short journey to the Alliance capital. He saw a young wolf search for food. He had witnessed a tribe of Murlocs and a Gnoll warband fight along the shore of a large pond. He had even seen a couple of traveling Mages spar with their opposite frost and flame magic.

All of these things intrigued Naruto. The strange creatures. The powerful techniques. The unique way of life. The blonde may not know it, but he was slowly falling in love with the world of Azeroth. Inside of him, a scheming Kyuusei smirked, thinking that soon her kit would accept the fact that he would live better here; that he would decide to leave his past behind and move forward.

Ryla, Syla and Riku walked down a dirt path leading to Stormwind. They had picked up new equipment from the port they landed in. Apparently, the port was a major armor and weapons supplier. The three had each gotten new sets of armor and had enhanced their weapons.

Ryla now had a thick brown leather shirt that accentuated her torso's curves, a steel shoulderguard on her right shoulder that had the Night Elf Sentinels' insignia, and a pair of form-fitting leaf-green leather pants. Her glaive was strapped onto her back and her arrows were transferred into thin quivers that attached to the sides of her thighs. She held her longbow tightly, a calm look on her face.

Syla had a standard set of steel female Night Elf armor. Her breastplate and greaves were navy-blue while her shoulderguards, leggings and bracers were undyed and still silver. The Sentinels' insignia was on her breastplate, right above her heart. Her broadsword was in its scabbard at her hip while her new spear was strapped to her back.

Riku's stormhammer was replaced by a ritual staff that was common of many other shamans. The staff was plain brown, but as the area neared the head slowly bled into a deep crimson. The staff's headpiece was a red orb that had a golden glowing ball in the middle. Her outfit didn't change much, other than the fact she wore metallic elbow pads that matched her kneepads. The Draenei yawned loudly.

"Why did we have to wake up so early again?"

"Don't you want to find Naruto?" Syla asked her.

"We could've waited an hour or two." Riku replied.

Ryla shook her head. "We have to find him as fast as possible."

"Why?" Riku smirked, a devious plan assembling itself in her mind. "We'll find him eventually. Do you think an hour or two would put a dent in Naruto's quest to find a way back to his home? No. Surely you know that."

"Well, of course but…" Syla started.

"But!" Riku interrupted, her smirk growing wider. "The truth is the only reason you girls want to find him as soon as possible is because you both wanna smooch with him."

The twins blushed heavily as they glared at their hoofed companion (more like Syla glared while Ryla blushed some more). "What!?"

"Don't deny it."

Syla narrowed her eyes. "At least I don't whisper, 'Please use that tail some more,' then moan like a horny troll in my sleep."

Now it was Riku's turn to blush. The sudden red on her cheeks contrasted horribly with her blue skin. "I-I do not!"

Ryla decided to join in. "But Riku, I've also heard you whimper and say, 'Show me how foxes get it on.'"

The Draenei girl could've died from embarrassment in that moment. The twins high-fived each other and laughed as Riku tried to burn holes through them with her eyes. As they neared a crossroads, they heard voices and armor clanking. They stopped at the intersection and watched as a group of severely injured humans walk by in a small caravan. They were dressed in the golden-laced armor of Paladins and bore the insignia for the Royal Guard. The three girls gasped at the number of hurt people.

Syla spotted a relatively uninjured man and called out to him. He looked a bit startled before walking up to the trio.

"May I help you ladies?"

"Um, if I may ask, what happened to you guys?" Syla asked.

The Paladin frowned. "We were ambushed by a large bandit force. They killed many of our comrades and took the princess hostage."

"Louise Wrynn of Stormwind!? The Prodigy Priestess!?" Ryla exclaimed. "That princess!?"

He nodded. "Yes. Princess Louise was taken by the infamous Dark Fangs and will probably be held for ransom."

"Why didn't you guys go after them!?" Syla shouted.

"My battalion was injured and severely outnumbered." The man replied sternly. "If I were to follow them, my men would have been killed and the Princess would still have been held for ransom. Nothing would've been accomplished."

Syla had no response.

The Paladin sighed. "However, a stranger that we found, a young man we saved from drowning at a beach, followed them. I do not know what happened to him. We haven't seen him or the princess since."

Riku had an odd feeling. "Wait, what did the young man look like?"

"He had spiky blonde hair, a black coat of sorts, a strange sword, and a cloth face mask." He answered. "Oh, and this may sound strange but he also had a fox tail."

The three girls were shocked at the odd coincidence that has just happened.

"Do you know where he is!?" Ryla blurted out.

The man was startled at the sudden question. "I-I don't really know. Although if he did manage to save the princess, he would probably head to Stormwind. As soon as we get to the city, we'll have the king send trackers to search for them. We can only hope for the best."

The two Night Elves and one Draenei looked at each other and nodded.

"Can we help you search for them?" Riku offered, unlatching her ritual staff from her back.

Naruto looked at the small parchment with several markings of tree-like symbols, dots, lines and a big-ass castle-like structure that was called a map. The blonde then looked up around him, studying at his surroundings. He nodded before putting the map away. He picked up the still-unconscious princess that leaned at the base of a nearby tree.

Naruto jumped off back into the canopy, hopping at full speed.

"Do you even know what direction we're going in?" Kyuusei dryly remarked.

'Nope.'

-

King Anduin Wrynn, newly-appointed king of the Human Kingdom of Stormwind, listened intently to Derik's report. The Paladin Captain was kneeling with his head bowed at the base of the small stairway leading up to the king's throne. Syla, Ryla and Riku kneeled as well to the left of him.

"… Then the boy went in pursuit. He moved at incredible speeds and was radiating a blue and orange aura. No one in my party has seen either of them since." Derik finished.

The king nodded slowly, absorbing the information. "And why, if I may ask, did you not pursue along with the boy? If he was radiating such powerful aura, then he would've been a winning factor when rescuing my daughter."

Derik bowed his head even lower. "I'm sorry Milord, but most of my party was either dead or crippled. We would not have been able to track, let alone follow them even if we tried. I concluded that the best option was to return to Stormwind and notify you."

Anduinn sighed and rubbed his temples with his right hand. To his left, on a slightly smaller throne, sat his queen and wife, Genesy Wrynn. The regal woman took her husband's hand and squeezed it lightly.

"Do not worry, dear. I'm sure Louise will be fine." She said.

The king returned the squeeze. "I understand your actions. However, I cannot help but be disappointed in you, Captain."

Derik remained in his bowed position, not saying a word. Ryla and Syla looked at each other before nodding.

Syla stood, catching the king and queen's attention. "Your highness, we would like to aid in the search of the princess."

"May I know why?" Anduin inquired.

"Aiding our noble Human allies in a time of crisis would be an honor, your highness." Syla answered. "And besides, the boy that pursued the Dark Fangs is a companion of ours. We want to make sure he is okay."

The king nodded. He waved his hand at a nearby servant, calling him over.

"Gather the finest Hunters within city walls and rally them." Anduin ordered. The servant bowed and left the throne chamber in order to spread the message.

Sasuke ran through handseals faster than most Jounin as he gathered his chakra. The last Uchiha took a deep breath and brought his hands to his mouth.

"Katon: Karyuudan no Jutsu!" A large flaming dragon burst out over the lake he used to train Katon Jutsu with. The dragon roared, flames shooting from its maw, before it crashed into the water, spewing a cloud of steam. The water boiled for a split second as the intense heat of the Jutsu reacted with the lake's cool.

Kakashi nodded from his position behind his apprentice. "Good job Sasuke. You executed it perfectly."

Sasuke nodded, wincing at the slight burns around his mouth. "Any news of Naruto?"

"He's still missing. Jiriaya-sama is still waiting for the Gama clan to contact him." The mask-wearing shinobi answered.

The raven-haired boy grunted. It had been a week since Naruto's disappearance. At first, the unfortunate news was only known by Tsunade and her closest advisors, along with Jiraiya and Team Seven. But soon enough, the entire village knew and most of the civilians were partying. They all thought he was dead. Sasuke couldn't take it. The only reason the Uchiha was still in Konoha was because of his promise to become Hokage in Naruto's stead. Sasuke was supposed to protect all of their friends for him, and to never abandon them.

Sakura, being the idiot she was, almost got both of them and their replacement teammate, Sai, killed in the Chuunin Exams in Kumogakure. She had started a fight with a blonde-haired examiner who mocked Sasuke's skills. It turns out the examiner was a Jinchuuriki and attacked them after Sakura insulted the mental ability of 'blondes'. Sasuke, having a bit of experience fighting Jinchuuriki (Gaara and Naruto), managed to hold her off by going Cursed Seal Level One until Kakashi and other Kumo-nin got her under control. Sasuke was slowly getting used to the power, the reinforcing seal applied by Jiraiya keeping Orochimaru's influence from him. Tsunade punished the pinkette accordingly, banning from duty for a full two months. So now, Sasuke became the official apprentice of Kakashi, although he and Sai still learned the same things while under the status of 'Team'.

Sasuke wasn't the only one improving. The rest of the Konoha Eleven had become great in their own rights during the short three years since Naruto's exile.

Tsunade had taken Ino and Hinata as apprentices and the two have become some of the better medic-nins in Konoha. Shikamaru enjoys a part-time job with Konoha's Tactics Division, where he sleeps during meetings. Chouji was found to have the ability to consume the dreaded Three Akamichi Pills and still survive, albeit with minor chakra exhaustion and soon became legendary all over the Elemental Countries as the Butterfly of Konoha. Neji became a Jounin-sensei, somehow ending up teaching the self-proclaimed 'Team Naruto', Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon. Lee, not being able to reach Jounin due to his condition, turned into the second most-feared Special Jounin in Konoha (behind Anko). Shino and Kiba each became some of the best hunter-nins this side of Iwa.

And as for Tenten? Tenten got herself a big-ass hammer and made her battle-cry famous throughout the shinobi world. "BAM! BAM!"

"When can I learn Raikiri, Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke panted, steadying himself.

"Your chakra reserves are still too small." The silver-haired man answered. "However, since I don't have an heir, I need someone to pass the Inu Summoning Contract to."

The raven-haired teen looked up at his teacher in surprise. "Really? You'll let me sign it?"

"Nope! I was hoping Kiba would, since of his connection with canines."

"… Bastard."

-

Jiraiya giggled under his breath as he peeked through the small hole he made in the wooden fence separating him and his 'subjects' of research.

"Wow, Kumo has a lot of hot women. Ooh… That busty blonde over there is a keeper. Maybe I'll pair her with the Naruto-based character in my new book!" The perverted author giggled, sketching on his notepad.

Suddenly his foot tapped on something metal. He looked down to find a recorder with a note attached to it.

The note said, 'Dear Ero-sennin. I won't be able to stop your perverted antics all the time, so I've decided to leave anti-pervert wards at every hot spring on the continent. P.S. This is one of them.'

The recorder suddenly blasted out a large honking noise along with Naruto's voice. "Pervert alert! Pervert alert! Uzumaki Naruto anti-pervert ward activated! All females in vicinity mobilize!"

"AAAHH! PERVERT!"

"Who's there!?"

Jiraiya cursed, shaking his head slightly. Then he smiled. "That Naruto, annoying me even while on a different world."

"Yugito-chan! Your boyfriend Naruto's alarm went off!"

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND! But whoever's out there better be ready to feel a butt-full of demon chakra!" A loud roar echoed through the area.

Jiraiya cursed again. He took off, screaming at the top of his lungs as a dozen Kumo-kunoichi went in pursuit.

"DAMN YOU NARUTOOOOOO!"

-

Naruto sneezed, stirring Louise from her slumber.

"N-Naruto? Where are we?"

"I have absolutely no idea."

"I told you to take a left when we passed that big tree! Now we're totally lost!"

'Shut it, Kyuusei.'

Boom-ba-doom, bam-bada-doom, ba-doom. Review please!
