CADWO-Again I've been lazy…..sorry. Anyways, the next chapter is finally here!

Random person- It's about time! You've been SUPER lazy about typing things up onto Microsoft Word and uploading them the whole time you've been working on this fiction!

CADWO- I know…hey, while you're here how about doing the disclaimer for me?

Random person- What? Why?

CADWO- Well apparently I'm sooo lazy that I can't open my mouth to say the disclaimer. snigger

Random person- grumble CADWO doesn't own the Legend of Zelda or Naruto rights.

CADWO- Good, now on with the chapter!(btw...i'm just making up a cool location for Naruto's home.)

Link stood with his hands on the railing of the small porch. Naruto's home was located fairly high from the ground and seemed like it came out of the mountain. He could almost see the whole village from where he was standing.

"Wow, this place is huge compared to Kokiri!" he said in amazement. 'I wonder where in Hyrule this is…' he thinks, then something moving on the side of the road catches his attention. It was a girl with pink hair wearing a red and white dress walking along the sidewalk. She was one of the few people out in the streets because it was pretty early in the morning. 'She's probably taking a morning stroll…hey, I can ask her where I am!'Not taking into consideration that he was disturbing a complete stranger, he leans over the rail and calls down, " Hey! Miss! Can you tell me where this place is?" She looks up confused.

Sakura's mind

What the? It's probably just some drunken idiot (stupid people's late night parties had kept her awake most of the week (Inner Sakura: Cha! I couldn't get my normal amount of beauty sleep to look good in front of Sasuke! Shannaro!!))…wait…isn't that Naruto's home?! Blonde hair, blue eyes….but what is he wearing?!?

back to normal

The girl explodes into fits of laughter. Link sighs.

'I knew I sounded crazy…' he turns to go back inside.

" Wait!" he hears, turning back around to see the girl jump onto the porch. " Who are you?" she questions. 'He doesn't look familiar.' she decides. He blinks, slightly shivering in fear of the sudden aggressiveness. "This is a friend of mine's home, and I know he doesn't get visitors." She swiftly whips out a knife from the pouch on her hip and holds it up to his neck threateningly.

"W-w-wo, hang on!" he pleads nervously. "I don't know how I got here or where exactly here is even. Please, help me?" She lowers the knife.

'He doesn't look a threat…' she decides. "Okay then, I'll take you to the Hokage after I check in with my team." Link sighs in relief. "Did you happen to see a spiky haired blonde boy in there?"

"No. I was the only person."

"Hmm…must've already left. Okay, follow me." She leaps off of the ledge and back onto the sidewalk, causing Link's eyes to widen. "Are you coming or not?"

Link gulped. 'Here I go….' He uncoordinatedly threw himself off of the edge, plummeting to the ground with a girlish scream. Sakura sweatdropped.

"Hey, are you ok?" she asks after the dust cloud clears, getting a weary 'yes' as a response. "Whatever. Come on now, don't make me late or you'll be sorry." She says, finally pocketing the kunai. Link followed her through the village, which she explained to him was called Konohagakure, the village hidden in leaves. He could see why after they'd made their way off of the main road and onto a smaller path nearer their destination. When they finally arrived, there was a black haired boy wearing a blue shirt and white shorts and an older, silver haired man wearing the 'ninja uniform' as Sakura called it.

"Aw man!" she complained, "Now i know i'm late!"

"Actually, i just decided to show up early." The man explained (this cuased Sakura to gasp and nearly choke on air). " I wasn't expecting any visitors for this morning's training...Who might this person be, a friend of yours, Sakura?"

" Not really. I found him this morning at Naruto's home. He says he doesn't know how he ended up here in Konoha, and i was going to take him to see the Hokage after i'd checked in with you and explained the situation."

"Hmmm..." he nodded slowly, his one visible eye was closed in thought. "So, he doesn't know where he is? And you didn't take precuation to see that he wasn't a spy nin from a rivaling village?"

"I...he didn't...i mean...he didn't seem harmful..."She stuttered, realising her oversight as she was trying to defend herself.

"Exactly. You're a smart kunoichi, just always remember to be on guard, okay?"

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei..."

"She seemed on her guard to me..."Link mutters. It was very unpleasant to have a stranger hold a knife to your throat, as he'd discovered this morning.

"So, we'll take him to the hokage before we do anything else." The teacher roughly grabbed Link's wrist and pulled him along back the way he'd came. Sasuke and Sakura followed almost silently behind. They took to the trees for a faster route .

'Woh...' Link thought, his puny little mind fastinated. 'These 'ninja' people can fly!!'

Shortly, they landed in front of the hokage's building. At which he was dragged through a few hallways and immediateley granted entrance into the head's office. The doors slammed behind him and the three that had accompanied him. An old man sat at a desk in front of them. He set down the papers he'd been going through and looked up at his guests.

"Yes? What bring you here to my office so sudden, Kakashi?"

"I believe we have an unregistered outsider with us." Kakashi then motions to Link, whos knees had begun to shake in nervousness. The Hokage's eyes narrowed upon the boy.

"Please," he says with a hint of urgency. "Tell me your name."

"My n-name is-s Link, sir." He gulped.

"The boy is no threat to our village, Kakashi. But i must ask to speak with you in private."

"Certainly." He nods, finally releasing the vice-like grip he'd had on poor Link's arm. "Sasuke. Sakura. Look after the boy for a moment." He opens the door for his students to leave. Link hurriedly follwed behind the two as the door closed.

They were the only ones in the hallway and no sound came from the room in which the Hokage and Kakashi were talking.

"Where did you come from exactly...?" The black haired boy questions him, not even bothering to look Link's direction.

" From Kokiri." Link simply replies. Judging the bizarre looks the two shinobi gave him in return though, they had absolutely no clue as to what he was talking about. "It's a small forested area in Hyrule. It's almost directly south of the Hyrule castle town. But us kokiri children are said to die if we leave there...so i'm confused now..."

"I hate to tell you this, but we're more confused than you now." Sakura sweatdrops.

"Oh..." Link sighed. He was lost and alone here. He had nowhere to go...Would Saria miss him? Did the other person he'd had dreams of being replace him in his world? Had he,Link, replaced that person?

"Hey..." Sakura tried to console the young boy. "Don't worry. We'll figure something out for you."

"You shouldn't promise him anything though." Sasuke adds. "We can't guarantee that he won't just be left out on the streets. It doesn't look like he has skills of any kind to make it here either." With those insults, a little spark within Link's heart shot up. He might be just a kid…but he wouldn't stand to be labeled as worthless!

"I would to be able to survive here!" he yelled, his blue eyes pierced into Sasuke's. His small rage carried his words further on. "I could probably even be just as good a n-ninja as you! So what if I'm new, I'm NOT worthless! In fact, as of this moment I vow to train my hardest and defeat you in battle! Then we'll see who's got no skills!" Sakura had a look of pure and utter horror on her face. Sasuke stayed silent, almost having a sort of staring contest with Link.

'Did that really just happen??' Sakura thought in disbelief (Inner Sakura: OMG!!! Did he just challenge my Sasuke-kun to a fight?! Oh he's in for a hell of trouble now!).

"Well, well." Kakashi said from behind the group. He'd heard all of Link's yelling after he'd come out of the room. "I'm glad you're prepared for hard-core training, seems you will be replacing our other genin in this squad." The reactions from the other two were, if nothing else, amusing. Even Sasuke was wide-eyed.

"He's replacing Naruto??" Sakura gaped.

"He reminded me a bit of him to begin with…especially those eyes." Sasuke glanced back over to Link. " I think he'd make a perfect replacement idiot for this team. All he needs now is to start randomly saying that over-used phrase 'Dattebayo' at the end of everything he says."

"Dattebayo…" Link repeats slowly. It had a nice flow to it. He grinned widely. " I could get used to that, 'ttebayo!" The others sweatdropped.

"You've created a monster…."Kakashi says humorously. Link began to laugh happily.

'Yeah…I could get used to this place.' He thought with a smile. 'Looks like I'll have to anyways. So then, look out Konoha… Your newest ninja has arrived!'

Well, I'm trying, but I've lost what little inspiration that got me to start this. In addition, I have my own story buzzing around through my mind every living moment. I think I'm chasing around that spark that left me though, so I will be working on this at least every other day again. I can't guarantee fast updates though because of my very strong procrastination level. People yellin at me for not updating helps me get back into the swing of things though. (My attempts at drawing a bit of art for this fanfiction also kept me inspired, but because of my poor skills in drawing…let's just say I've wasted a lot of paper lately. .TT U) Getting off topic again darn it. Gomen!
