The Legend Of Naruto: Ocarina Of Time (Remake). Prologue.

(Note: Hey everyone. It's Aerisuke here, again. A long time ago, I did a Naruto version of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. However, I decided to do a remake so I can go back and see how much I've improved on my writing. I don't mean to brag, but I've gotten a lot better. So for this fanfic, I've decided to make a few minor changes, and you'll see why. Also, I will be doing remakes of some of my old fanfics because I thought they kind of stunk. Okay, not all of them. Hopefully this will make up for it. I'll try my best to work on it, and I'm sorry if it stinks. Anyway, without further ado, I hope you enjoy the Naruto remake of The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. P.S. I can't believe it's been four years since I worked on this fanfic, :D)

Long ago, a great Civil War befell throughout the land of Hyrule. During the war, a woman escaped on horseback with her infant son, so he wouldn't be harmed.

While they were on their way, she remembered something that her husband told her.

Flashback...

"No, Minato! I won't let you die!" the woman screamed, shaking her head furiously with tears streaming down her face.

Minato looked at his wife.

"Kushina, just do what I say and go! Get Naruto out of here, or else you'll be killed!" he demanded.

"No! We're going with you!" she cried.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine," he spoke, walking up to her, running his fingers through her hair. "But if I don't make it out alive, promise me that you will look after Naruto."

Kushina looked down at the ground, not meeting Minato's eyes.

"Alright."

"Thank you."

Minato kissed Kushina one last time, and then kissed Naruto's forehead.

"I love you, Minato."

"I love you too, Kushina."

Minato unsheathed his sword and shield, opened the door, got on his horse and went off to join his comrades.

She put her hands over her heart, and prayed silently.

"Goddesses, please watch over us."

End of flashback...

Minato's last words rang in Kushina's ears.

As she continued her journey, Kushina saw a wood up ahead and rode to it.

After getting off her horse, it began to whinny.

"Shh. It's alright," she soothed, carressing its mane, "Don't worry. I shall return momentarily."

As Kushina started to walk away from her horse, she looked behind her, watching the soldiers fight, and thought of Minato.

"If I don't make it out alive, promise me that you will look after Naruto."

"Minato. Be careful," Kushina told herself.

She turned around, and continued walking inside the wood.

When Kushina got to the bridge, she tumbled to the ground. Naruto fell out of her arms, landing right next to her, and started to cry. So she grabbed onto the rope of the bridge with her left hand, stood up and carried Naruto in her right hand. She let go of the rope, and cradled him into her arms.

"Shh. It's alright, Naruto. We're almost there," said Kushina as she continued walking and he stopped crying.

After leaving the bridge, she entered Kokiri Forest.

She looked around, and saw that most of the children were wearing green clothes. However, Kushina wasted no time, and knew that she and Naruto would be dead at any second. So she walked to one of the houses and knocked on the door.

Finally, a woman answered the door.

"Can I help you?"

"Please... I need... help...," Kushina stated weakly.

"Come in," the woman replied, and turned to her husband. "Iruka. Please help me carry her."

"Alright," he agreed as he carried Kushina into his arms, and placed her on the bed.

"I'll be right back," the woman spoke, and left the house.

"Listen. You're going to be okay, so don't you go dying on us, you hear?" Iruka told her.

"It's too late...," Kushina whispered, looking at Iruka.

Then, Iruka's attention switched to a baby lying on the bed next to her.

"That boy... who is he?" Iruka wondered.

"This is Naruto," Kushina stated, looking at Naruto.

"Why did you bring him here?" Iruka asked.

"I'm dying... and I need someone... to look after him... while I'm gone...," she answered.

"Where's his father?" Iruka inquired.

"Dead. He went off to war... and never came back," said Kushina.

Iruka lowered his head in sadness.

"I see."

"Who are you?" Kushina questioned.

"I am Iruka."

"Who was that woman that was with you?"

"My wife, Shizune," Iruka answered.

"If only she would hurry up," he thought.

"Iruka, I'm back," Shizune called. Kushina saw an old man and woman right beside Shizune.

"What's your name?" the older woman asked Kushina.

"Kushina. And yours?"

"I'm Tsunade, and this is my husband, Jiraiya," said Tsunade. She looked at Shizune. "Shizune. Give Kushina medical attention right away."

"Right," Shizune answered, and started healing Kushina.

If there was one thing that everyone learned about war, war was hell. It's as if it was a nightmare that you could never get out of. As if you were put into a deep sleep, not being able to wake up. Iruka, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune prayed that Kushina would be alright, and would make it through the night.

But suddenly, she began to cough up blood.

"Don't worry, Kushina. You're going to be alright," Iruka reasurred her, putting his left hand on her right shoulder.

"If I die... tell Naruto... that Minato and I love him... and that we're sorry we didn't get to spend much time with him," Kushina replied.

"Stop talking like that!" Shizune shouted, tears streaming down her face.

"When Naruto comes of age... he will understand why he's here... and why his parents are no longer with him. You're all that he has left now. Promise me that you will look after him."

Jiraiya nodded.

"We promise. We'll raise him as if he was our very own child."

"Thank you," said Kushina. She reached out a hand towards Naruto, and caressed his cheek.

"Naruto... you're going to experience a lot of pain and suffering. Remember who you are! Find a goal... a dream... and don't stop trying until it comes true," Kushina told Naruto, with tears starting to form in her eyes. "There's... there's so much more that I want to say... to teach you... I want to stay with you... I love you, Naruto."

Memories of Kushina and Minato ran through her mind, and she dreamed of having a future with him and Naruto. But... she knew that it would never come to pass.

"Minato... thank you for everything...," Kushina thought to herself,

Finally, she took her last breath, and died.

"No... no...," Shizune said, shaking her head, as she began to cry and hugged Iruka.

The next day, after the war was over, Iruka and Shizune brought Kushina's body to Kakariko Graveyard. When Iruka and Shizune returned to Kokiri Forest, they told The Great Deku Tree about Naruto, and he agreed to help them watch him.

"I believe... that he is the savior of Hyrule, for a great evil is about to awaken, and Naruto's our only hope," The Great Deku Tree told Iruka and Shizune.

(Note: Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the prologue and Chapter 1 is coming soon, and I'm sorry if it was so sad. While I'm working on the story, I'm also playing the 3DS remake of Ocarina Of Time to get some ideas. Sadly, I lost my 3DS pouch along with a few of my 3DS games, and Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask were two of the games that I lost. Luckily, I got a few of my old games back, and I'm still waiting to get Ocarina Of Time, but right now, I'm playing the 3DS remake of Majora's Mask. By the way, I think Link's voice as a Deku Scrub is so cute in the 3DS remake. He almost sounds like a chipmunk with that voice, XD. Not to mention that when it came to Ocarina Of Time, I was stuck at the Water Temple, and I was so close to beating it too. Now I have to start all over again, :( Oh well. There's nothing I can do about that now. Now, if you're wondering where I got Kushina's last words to Naruto from, I did not make that up. It's from the Minato and Kushina flashback in Naruto Shippuden. I think it's during the Naruto VS. Kurama fight, but correct me if I'm wrong. I remember that the first time I saw Minato and Kushina's death scene (in English, of course), I cried. Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and Happy Early New Year. Here's to 2016, which is next week. Please read and review! :D)
