Naruto: Legend of the Triforce
Wow. Nothing like this has been done before. I haven't found anything like this anyway...but... Okay. I am combining Naruto and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The way I thought this out...I hope it works. It sounds cool to me. Okay, lets begin.
A tale is passed down. Whispered, only in the temples throughout the world. Only they keep the story, for it was never written, only passed by the oral telling. And it speaks of...the creation.
When the cosmos was young, Kami was there. He shaped the chaos, gave it order and structure. He created stars, planets and moons. Satisfied with his work, he sat on his etheral throne. But eternity is a long time. The order held, but nothing really happened. In his lonliness, he fashioned beings like himself. His five children. The first he created, Roshidu, was like his father. He craved order and balance. The second, Akoi, was a prankster, and loved toying with his brother and his father. The last three were made at the same time. The three sisters: Din, Farore, and Nayru. They loved the shape of the universe, but its substance seemed empty. Like a glass bottle with nothing in it.
For ages, Kami enjoyed being with his children. They all were close, but grew increasingly tired of the same order at all times. It was the sisters who proposed creating new beings in the void. Not like themselves, but limited, posessing will and knowledge. Kami listened to thier case, and created one more world. As his last touch, he set a moon in orbit around it, and told his children to shape it as they saw fit.
The sisters came into the world first. Din, with her mighty flaming arms shaped it, wrought it, and created the stone and earth. Farore, with her gentle and nurturing spirit, created the life that would fill the world. Nayru, her wisdom flowed over the newly-awakened planet and gave the life there law. Their portion done, the sisters waited, waiting to see what their brothers would do.
Akoi descended on the world. He gave the life-forms the will to act as they saw fit, but in doing so also created the forces of Good, Evil, and Neutrality. The creatures revolved around these forces, and multiplied. Great forces for Evil appeared, created by Akoi himself, to make things more interesting for himself. Nine he made, and he gave each of them a different shape, and differing levels of power. Their status of power would be told by the tails they posessed. Pleased by his work, he left the world first.
Roshidu
came last. He saw that the lot of beings were miserable, for death
had not yet been fathomed. They felt pain, and could suffer, but did
not perish. Roshidu said thus to his family:
"Here I will
remain. I will try to keep some order on this world, but I cannot
interfere with the choices of these beings."
He gave almost all
the life forms a new gift, one that later was misinterpreted.
Mortality. He took a new name for himself, as this was his major
province. He called himself Shinigami. The only things that could not
die were the Nine Beasts that Akoi had made. For he had used a part
of himself to shape them. They were, thusly, deathless.
The work was done. The life form known as man rose to prominence quickly, and gave praise to the Gods who made them. The sisters, seeing their great thought come to be, left the world. At the point they had left, they let behind a small portion of their power. It took shape, into three combined triangles. The people saw this thing and were amazed, for nothing they had seen matched its splendor. And Shinigami said to them:
"This
thing you see represents the balance of the world. It is the
Triforce, for each part makes the whole. And it shall reflect the
human spirit. It is Power. It is Wisdom. It is Courage."
One
man, who listened to the god, was overcome by curiosity. Boldly, he
reached forth and touched the thing. The Triforce shone ever
brighter, as did he. He held all three of its virtues dear to heart,
and so it merged with him. The people were angry, but the voice of
Shinigami stopped them.
"This is
the will of the Gods. Verily, for the Triforce was shaped by the
power of the Goddesses. His heart was balanced, and he recieved the
fullness of its power. If his heart had not been in balance, he would
have only recieved the part he most believed in. The other two would
go to the ones who believe the stongest in that virtue. When all
three pieces are brought together, one person can use its power.
With it, he can shape the world twice, and no more."
The holder
of the Triforce thought long about what he would do with his power.
Sensing this new strength, the Nine, the Bijuu as they were after
called, came upon him, and tried to take the Triforce from him. He
made his first choice.
"I wish for a way for man to improve himself, and defend himself from the forces of Evil."
From that, the ability to use the chakra in the body was born. The people learned how to mainpulate their chakra, and used it to great effect. But some of the people wanted more power, and demanded that the man give them such. Realizing that the Triforce could be used for great evil, he made his final choice.
"I wish for the Triforce to be sealed, and only those who can use a part of it can gain access to it!"
The deed was done. The Triforce was locked away, in what is now called the Sacred Realm. Five keys were made, and the door to the Sacred Realm was shut. What these keys were, only the man and the Gods knew. Still possesing great power, the man passed on much knowledge to the people. Taking a select few, he gathered them around the door to the Sacred Realm, and used the last of his power. Great mountains rose, almost completely sealing off the land they were in. He shaped the one exit into a dense wood, guarded by a wise tree spirit. With that done, he left the knowledge of the keys and the Triforce to his heirs and died.
That land, that came to be called Hyrule, was forever cut off from the outside world. The people forgot about chakra, and those few that regained the skill were called magicians. The lineage of the first wielder of the Triforce continued, unbroken for many ages. In the world outside Hyrule chakra was remembered, and used. Eventually, the skilled chakra users were called Shinobi, and special villages appeared, to teach them and train them.
Many years had passed...and Hyrule was forgotten by all except the high priests. The legend remained, as a part of mythology. But now...Hyrule and the world it hid from were about to meet again.
