Sorry if I take so long: Real Life doesn't care about leaving me free time to write. (used wrong numbering, this is the 9th chapter not 10th)
Here the Master sword finally enter the scene...and guess who will soon be back as well?
An Hint: Me and some of you loved her in Skyward Sword and she was a great dancer/skater.
A request to me by Phoenix Warehouse Productions, he proposed me to create a Naruto/Zelda Twilight Princess Crossover following his story "Letter to a Hero" using it as a base to create a fanfic using the directions he gave with it, I hope he and you all will like the result ^ ^.
Please remember: I have Three challenges in my profile myself, please tell me if you take one or more of them, thank you.
Sorry, won't listen to Canon haters, I already said this but I want to be sure.
And a secret one that will be revealed ONLY AT THE END OF THE FINAL CHAPTER AND NO, SHE IS NOT ZELDA. (Even if it pains me not adding her).
Like that, just to be an asshole.

Chapter 9: Wonderful Power: The Master Sword's awakening!
Hyrule Castle Town – Telma's bar -
"Still unable to find your friend, honey?" the buxom bartender asked with a gentle smile as she refilled the glass of the man lying his head on her counter.
"He has whiskered cheeks and wears a red cloak...I thought that alone would have stood-out enough for people to notice him, but damn it if I am having troubles to find Naruto, Telma-hime." Jiraiya answered with a defeated sigh.
"And yet you keep coming back here...are you hoping to find him in my bar, or you do this just to have an excuse to see this old woman again?" Telma asked with a wink and a soft laugh.
"I...ehh!...I...both?" the Spy Master answered smiling sheepishly while blushing.
"Huhuhu! Good answer, sweet-cheeks!" she answered amused.
"Look, I'll help you."
"Really?" Jiraiya said in surprise.
"Yep! I'll send word around that you are looking for this 'Naruto' boy, so you'll have more eyes scanning the streets. I know a lot of people here and outside so together we will be able to find him, right guys?" Telma asked to the other clients with a knowing smirk.
"Oh, yes! We can help all right!" one of the 'Friends' of Telma answered with his most convincing smile.
"Thanks, hime! I gotta go, that brat may be good, but he won't escape me again." Jiraiya said taking a theatrical bow and kissing her hand before bolting out (paying for his drinks first, of course).
"...You know how you are supposed to help him, right?" the woman asked as soon as she saw the Toad Sage leave her bar for good.
"Yep! If Naruto goes right, we tell that man he went left, if he is resting we say he is still moving and so on so forth." the same man from before replied making his pals nod.
"Thank you, guys! Until this mess is over we can't let anyone disturb our Hero." Telma answered with a grateful smile.
"Naru-goron is a brother of the Gorons, we too will watch-out for him. I heard the Zora as well will help in thanks for his help in restoring their water. That human spy will have to wait to resolve his petty arguments." the Goron bodyguard of the bar added grunting.
"It was a surprise to learn that the same man I..." cough! "...'met' was the same spy hunting Naruto down, but at least now I have a valid excuse at nearing him and know him better. Goddesses know we may be happy together once everything is back to normal Huhuhu!" the woman muttered with a low, hungry chuckle escaping her.
Everyone else just pretended to have not heard the last part of her answer and just did their best to not meet her eyes after that blurting-out of her preferences in the romantic department, but many finally understood WHY Renado had always did everything in his power to keep her at arms-length and inside the way safer "Friend Zone".
Later that day – Faron Woods – With Naruto and Midna -
As the transformed shinobi kept rapidly running through the paths towards Faron woods with Midna still riding his back, Naruto couldn't help but finally ask about a little piece of trivia that was still poking mercilessly the back of his mind.
"I still don't get it, why now you can stay out in the light even without Twilight covering everything?" he asked looking back to meet her eyes.
"Your attempted suicide to save me...Thank you by the way, you overly-gentle fool...Had even more benefits than what we both believed apparently...Maybe...I think...I don't know."
"I still don't get it."
"Me neither." Utsukushi muttered dumbfounded.
"As if I am sure of this myself." the Imp girl answered huffing.
It was when the duo finally reached the entrance of the forest that the Twili Imp Girl decided to pull his ear to gain his attention making him stop abruptly.
"Naruto?" she asked with an unsure tone.
"Uhu? What is it now?" he asked curious.
"Can we talk? We...We need to talk." the Imp Girl said.
"You are pregnant?" Utsukushi asked with a bored tone from the Seal while picking her nose with her pinkie in complete disinterest.
"Not yet-I MEAN NO! But it's something equally important!" Midna answered growling.
"What's happening?" the blond shinobi asked.
"I need to know."
"You need to know what?"
"Once we have done, after Zant and whoever is behind this is gone..." she said tentatively.
"Yes?"
"Would you be against the idea of...of coming with me in the Twilight Realm?...You know...Living together...as a couple."
"Midna, I can't. What about-" Naruto muttered watching her rapidly float from his back to stand in front of him with a furious expression on her face that had his blood freeze.
"I know, I know! Ilia!...ILIA! ILIA! ILIA! ALWAYS HER! What does she have that I have not?! She can't fight! She can't use Magic or your Jutsu or-" Midna answered in blind anger.
"Not that. I was about to ask you how would we have lived together in your realm as a couple if I turn into a nine-tailed fox as soon as I get exposed to your world's Magic." he interrupted her with a sad smile.
"Oh...That." she answered uneasy and with a faint green blush on her face.
"Why you asked this so suddenly?" he asked nuzzling her a little.
"I can't live here with you, after this mess with Zant everyone will be afraid of my people, there wouldn't be a place for me or the others here to stay. And...I guess I don't like the idea of losing you." she said returning to sit on his back
"Really? Why?"
"Because I love you, idiot." the Imp Girl answered, whispering those words directly in his ear as she pressed her face on the back of his furred neck.
"Here we go...I should have known this would have happened. I missed the good old days in Konoha where every girl was chasing the Uchiha boy, at least there I only had to worry about that Hyuga girl." the Ten-Tailed Vixen muttered with an annoyed sigh as she watcher her Vessel look down in embarrassment and play with the dirt on the road with one of his paws.
Any answer the transformed young man was about to give was forcefully interrupted when a familiar monkey wearing a small red flower on her head shrieked in fear while being chased by wooden puppets moving on their own with their strings seemingly hanging from the air itself.
"Kiii! Kiii!" the animal bellowed in fear as the things circled her, forcing the monkey to turn into a trembling ball of fur as she tried to cover her face and body at the best of her abilities.
"Let her go, you bastards!" Naruto roared as he jumped between the monkey and the puppet-like monsters.
Ignoring the threat as they watched him with their empty eyes and the unnaturally wide fanged smiles etched on their face the moved closer making the poor monkey whimper in fear.
"I warned ya, now I am going to turn you to splinters!"
In answer to that and with a clacking of wooden junctures the first puppet tried to lounge forward with a swiping motion of its arm to try shoving Naruto away to reach for the monkey.
"RAAAH!" a ferocious battle-cry and a bite later at the monster went thrown back to look at the broken stump of its missing arm, although the mad smile etched on its face was still there unmoving of course.
"It must be Magic guiding them . I can't sense chakra nearby so there is no Shinobi Puppet User around." Utsukushi said with narrowed eyes.
"Good, at least it means we still have not Hunter Nins chasing us down." the transformed shinobi answered nodding.
Jumping over the one puppet missing one arm, the nine-tailed fox pounced on another to tear-off the head of the thing making it disappear in a tiny burst of purple smoke.
"They act like living beings, without the head they can't remember their Master's commands and dissipate since there is no will maintaining their Magic-made body together." Midna offered paralyzing the other puppets in her Zone.
"Thanks!" Naruto answered using the opening to either behead or tear in half the remaining monsters.
"Hey!"
"AAH!"
"Did...Did you save me?" the monkey asked scaring the transformed blond.
"Yeah, I did." he answered panting a little.
"I totally forgot you can talk to animals while transformed." the Ten-Tailed Vixen in the Seal muttered.
"Thank you!" the animal gushed happily while clapping her hands.
"It was nothing," the other replied smiling.
"Listen, since you are so nice, let me tell you something: there's a really pretty wooded area on the other side of this cliff!"
"Really?" Naruto asked weary.
"Uh-hu! I climbed over there, but when I tried to get deeper into the woods, THOSE guys attacked me!...What's in those woods, anyway?" the monkey replied nodding.
"How curious for her to mention a part of the forest we still need to check now that we need something hidden in this very same area..." Utsukushi muttered annoyed.
"Yes, it's very strange for her to pup-up now with that little piece of info." Midna answered.
Up in the Heavens -
"I told you it would have been too obvious that we are pushing info towards them like that, Din." Nayru said sighing.
"It was Farore's idea! Not mine!" Din replied whining.
"We have always done things like this with the past Heroes...It's not my fault if this one is a bit more mistrusting." the blushing Goddess of Courage muttered in answer.
"Very well. I'll be the one taking charge of this from now on then as we will need a more subtle approach; nothing wrong in helping along, but we shouldn't make him feel like we do not trust him for this mission." Naryu answered sighing.
"Subtle?"
"Subtle." the Goddess of Wisdom answered nodding.
Back with Naruto -
"That sure is a pretty forest. You know, the one I found over there, on the other side of the cliff..."
"OKAY! OKAY! I am going to check it out! I GET IT!" the blond answered annoyed.
Up in Heaven -
"Oh! Now I see! Subtle help, well done!" Din said smirking.
"S-S-SHUT UP! My hand just slipped!"
Back on Earth -
"A last thing!" the monkey said stopping the shinobi.
"What?" Naruto asked.
"Your smell, it's so familiar. It smells a bit like a red-clad prince who helped me out once!"
"Huhuhu! I am not a prince, but thank you all the same. Bye!" Naruto answered laughing before hurrying away towards the cliff the animal pointed him towards.
"Oh! He is a fox now?...Humans are soo strange!" the monkey muttered confused.
While the small animal was still trying to wrap her head around the blond's strangeness, said shinobi was calmly walking on the side of the cliff's walls to reach a more hidden tunnel connecting the cliff to a new section of the forest.
"Okay! Monkey distraction aside, we still have a sword to find, up for the task?" Midna asked as soon as a couple of pesky bats went scared away by the growing fox she was riding.
"I never was one to back down...and...Midna?" the transformed blond answered.
"Yes?"
"About you and me...Me too." he said smiling while shaking his back a little to make the Imp on his back shake slightly.
"I-I already knew that! How could you not love me? I am ME!" she answered while trying to not smile too widely.
"Say..." Utsukushi growled making both jump at the interruption.
"Why do you think there are whole chunks of wood dangling from ropes moving back and forth as if to act as further obstacles?" she asked annoyed.
"M-Maybe they were collecting wood and simply had to escape from some monsters and so left everything like that?" Naruto offered nervous.
"Seems logic." Midna added lamely.
"Sorry if I ignored you."
"Umpf! Just see to not turn this into an habit. Now keep going, we still need to heal you from this curse-like thing. And I want you to say that you love me, otherwise I won't forgive you." Utsukushi answered huffing.
"Ehm..."
"I am waiting."
"I don't know, Midna-chan sure is cute." he thought with a mischievous smile.
"Don't you dare!"
"You know I love ya, Fur-ball." he muttered shyly.
"Tch!" unheard by the two Midna just grumbled with a scrunched nose.
"And yet those two managed to snuggle inside your heart and carve a little cozy space for themselves in it." Sigh! "What do I have to do with you."
"Utsukushi..."
"I love you to pieces, that's the problem.Bah! Whatever."
"Eh?"
"Just leave Ilia behind, if I have to let another woman stay around you, then I want her to be at least a bit useful."
"Yes, and I am DEFINITELY not going to do my best to make him break-up with you two. TCHE! Never!Contrary to you, fur-ball, I DON'T share what is mine." Midna thought huffing.
"If you are sure." the transformed shinobi said uncertain.
"Ehm..." a new voice said joining the scene in the shape of a wolf made of golden light.
"You again?" Naruto asked annoyed.
"There is a very valid reason as to why I am here. Deep in that part of the forest there is a Temple, in that Temple resides the Master Sword that you need to break your curse..." the Hero Ghost said uncertain.
"But?" Midna said sighing.
"Well...You will need to play a certain tune to activate the 'Test' of worth to reach the sword...and you have not an Ocarina nor you can howl by yourself as a way to mimic it...I think you can see where is the problem now." the ghostly wolf answered.
"I think I do...What now?" Naruto asked with a defeated tone.
"Does your friend know how to whistle?" the wolf asked.
"No." Midna answered blushing.
"Wonderful! I hope you are ready to learn then, you'll have to be the one to play the tune otherwise you two won't get far." the Hero Shade answered sighing himself.
"So it seems, sorry Midna."
"If I have to. I hope it won't be too hard." the Imp Girl answered dropping her shoulders.
Meanwhile – Elemental Countries – Konoha – Hokage Tower -
Ignoring the issues the transformed blond and Midna were facing, in the small office of the Shinobi Village's Leader the various Teams formed by the old members of Naruto's Genin class were waiting with various degrees of anxiety for Tsunade to enter her office so to answer to the woman's summoning.
"Why do you think Tsunade-sama called us here?" Ino asked curious.
"Maybe she needs all of us for a joint mission somewhere?" Rock Lee answered unsure.
"That would mean that we are talking about something really big to have Hokage-sama summon all of us." Shikamaru answered shaking his head.
"In a way it is, to be exact, should my suspicions held true we may need all the help we can gather to pull this off." Tsunade answered as she and Shizune marched inside.
"Good morning, Hokage-sama!" the assembled Chuunin (Once proud Genin) answered as one with a deep bow.
"Relax. Is everyone here?" the Senju woman asked unfolding a wide map on her desk.
"All present, Hokage-sama." Sakura answered nodding.
"Can I ask a question?" Kiba said rising his hand.
"Be quick!" Tsunade answered.
"Why only we are here? Why not our old Teachers as well? Or any other Team?" the Inuzuka boy asked confused.
"I'll be covering it in my speech, so be patient. Now, Shikamaru? Shino? Please explain to us what you see here." the Hokage answered as she moved to fix the map she was carrying on a near wall of her office so that everyone could see it.
"It's a map, Hokage-sama; this seems to be our continent, but with added notes detailing the Elemental Nations' territories and their commercial routes, both on land and by sea." Shino Aburame answered.
"Good, are you seeing nothing strange in particular?" Tsunade answered looking at the two with a sharp glare.
"Each Village and their respective routes are color-coded: Green for Konoha, Blue for Mist, Yellow for Kumo and so on, bar one that has a colour for its own: the orange one." Shikamaru answered after a short pause as he traced said line on the sea with a finger.
"And where does that lonely line passes by?" Tsunade asked.
"Very close to Kumo...and especially close to the island we had sent Naruto to..." the Nara boy said slowly as his eyes widened in realization.
"That's why they used orange." Sasuke muttered chuckling despite himself.
"I won't tell you exactly 'Where' Naruto is for reasons of security, but know this: That line is very special, it belongs to a very small, unassuming private ship of fishermen an equally lonely and half-forgotten fish restaurant of Mist sometimes makes business with, they come this close to us and that island only once in a very wide time window, but they stay too far to touch any coast and/or island besides their client and too far for a 'Normal' shinobi to reach them by water-walking." Tsunade answered with a pleased nod.
"So he got on that ship? How?" Chouji asked curious.
"We know for certain that he had Henged himself into a Fuuma Shuriken and had a clone throw him at Gamabunta, hoping for the Summoning Boss to either dodge or deflect him, he instead got grabbed and tossed away...so he either untransformed and reached that ship by himself or..." Shikamaru answered.
"Or that Luck of his had him literally fly to them." Kiba added with a sigh of disbelief.
"It may be why he decided to fight Gamabunta that exact day when he knew the ship would pass close enough to the island for him to board it." Tsunade said shaking her head sighing.
"How did you discover this, Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked.
"Jiraiya noticed the timing and normal route of that ship by chance, most Hunter-nin and spies instead made the mistake of assuming that extra chakra aside, even Naruto would have not been that crazy to try boarding it while dozens of ANBU were hunting him down, especially by walking on those waters. To be safe Jiraiya had since covered THOSE traces as well so that only him, me and now you others would know about it; he made sure, among other things, to have it appear as if the ship could not go the usual way that exact date so to remove the chance others too could decide to try looking there." the Hokage answered.
"So Jiraiya-sama is hunting Naruto down?" Tenten asked.
"Last time I heard him he had actually found him." Tsunade answered grimacing, expression that caused the others' cheering to die abruptly.
"...What has that old man done?" Sasuke asked groaning.
"I guess Orochimaru did tell you something about me and him as well when you were with him...The idiot has apparently used the wrong approach while talking with our blond friend." the woman answered groaning herself.
"He has not given Naruto the idea that we are hunting him down like a Missing-Nin...Right?" Sakura asked with a pleading tone.
"..." Tsunade actually covered her answer with a clearly fake coughing fit while managing to evade the stares of everyone present.
"Ooh, God." Neji muttered in disbelief while face-palming.
"Now how do we convince him that Suna, Spring, Mist, various minor Villages and Konoha won't let anyone touch him? That the banishment order will soon be over?" Sakura asked shocked.
"As for now we don't know where he actually is since he is evading Jiraiya at the best of his abilities along having the locals help him staying under the radar. But we are doing our best."
"Figures, he probably already befriended half the continent he escaped in by now!" Kiba said groaning.
"Only half?" Ino said mockingly.
"I am an optimist." the other answered with a weak smile and a shrug.
"What do you need us to do, Shishou?" Sakura asked.
"Misleading. We still can't have people know where he is until the Banishment order expires and he is back, otherwise he will never trust us again." The Hokage answered sighing.
"You want us to spread as many fake info as we can, Hokage-sama?" Shino asked.
"You are his friends, people will be more akin to believe your 'slipping' tidbits of info here and there when you think no-one is listening if you are the ones talking; you don't even need to pay attention at not being contradictory with each other, on the contrary the more different leads we can spread around the better. That's why I didn't ask to your former Jounin sensei to come here, their reaction will be more honest if they don't know about this. Gaara has come up with this idea and shared the plan with me; Tazuna-san in Wave will be doing the same during his 'drunk' ramblings just like Princess Koyuki's men will...Until Jiraiya doesn't manage to fix the mess it will be best if no-one else from the Elemental Countries contact Naruto, we do not need him to panic and think that there is some sort of massive Hunt for his head ongoing." Tsunade answered.
"So no writing? No letters or anything else?" Sasuke asked shocked.
"None whatsoever, believe me if I say that I too would love to write him and explain, but as for now he would probably take every word we say as potential lies, even he has limits in this sort of things." the woman answered tiredly.
"We will do our best, Hokage-sama! We will cover Jiraiya-sama's movements along Naruto-kun's so when he will forgive us and return he will see that we didn't tell a soul where he was hiding!" Lee said with literal flames of determination burning in his eyes.
"I really hope this will be enough, not a word with anyone about this plan; only the ones present here have to be in the know or I will take 'precautions' to ensure your secrecy. You are dismissed." Tsunade ordered with narrowed eyes and cold voice.
"HAI!" the assembled Chuunin answered as one.
"...Hinata? Please remain here." the Hokage said making the Hyuga heiress remain while the others rapidly left the office.
"Yes?"
"You okay?" Tsunade asked with a gentle smile while moving an hand on the girl's shoulder.
"I still miss him." she answered looking down.
"We'll take him back, we will explain everything and earn our forgiveness, everything will be back to normal."
"We will?" Hinata asked hopeful.
"Don't you trust your Hokage?" Tsunade asked with a mock glare.
"Y-Y-YES! Y-Y-YES I DO, H-HOKAGE-SAMA!" the girl half-shrieked immediately.
"Then move along and follow my instructions!" the other said playfully shoving her out of the office and slamming the door closed.
"...Aren't you deluding her, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked sighing.
"Just like I am deluding myself, Shizune."
"Then that makes it three with me." the woman said shaking her head.
"Who knows...It may end well instead." Tsunade offered with a tiny, unsure smile.
"Who knows." Shizune answered with a similar expression.
Unknown to them it will be that misguided attempt at 'letting him have his space and calm down from his tantrum' as they called it and their not trying to contact him to explain their reasons that will be the major catalyst of the rift between them and the blond not decreasing but instead enlarging; either because of their pride or the fear of Naruto's reaction none of them seemed to understand that they were in fact taking the wrong approach in trying to earn his forgiveness, and the more they waited for things to fix themselves the worse things will get in the end...
Back in Hyrule – With Naruto and Midna -
"No! No! No! It's a G! Not a C!" The Spirit of the Ancient Hero said annoyed.
"I am trying, okay?! I have not a tab to read!" Midna answered annoyed.
"Can you howl it again, please?" Naruto asked.
"FINE! But so help me I will have you learn and whistle that tune even if it is the last thing I do!" the ghost wolf answered growling before taking-in an huge breath and slowly howling said tune while purposely elongating each note to help Midna understand.
"It would have been easier had you turned into a wolf." Midna muttered.
"Sorry, not that Hero. I am the substitute Chosen One." Naruto answered huffing.
"And I am the 'Juubi no Kitsune', not the 'Juubi no Rouga'. (Ten-tailed Fox/Wolf)." Utsukushi added with an offended tone.
"Details!" the Twili Imp Girl replied.
"HUSH! Stop taking and keep exercising!"
In the end it took another hour for Midna to finally get both the correct tune and notes, not in small part because the Hero Ghost was apparently a perfectionist when it came to teaching music, but once finally deemed acceptable both shinobi and Imp were given the okay to go on with their adventure.
"Youshould be able to activate the trial like that, just in case keep whistling until the thing responds." the Spirit had said before fading away.
"I don't want to go through a Test of Worth! They are annoying!" Naruto said with a whine.
"You are thinking about blowing-up everything standing in our way with a Rasengan and be done with it, aren't you?" Midna said with narrowed eyes.
"...Yes." he answered looking down.
"Well, I went through all the trouble to learn how to whistle and we are going to at least start the thing, THEN you will be free to do as you please." she answered annoyed.
"Yes, dear." the other said sighing.
"Good. Move along then, let's find this temple or whatever is hiding what we need."
"See? This is why you don't need her, she is a bossy bitch!" Utsukushi said huffing.
"Stuff it, flea-ball! I was not trying to get him 'whipped', but just making a statement! He knows I am not that kind of woman." Midna answered growling.
"I miss Madara and the Akatsuki, they were easier to manage." Naruto muttered with a defeated sigh while trying to ignore the two bickering women.
Meanwhile – With Ilia – Spirit Spring near Ordon Village -
The girl was standing rigid as she followed every movement of the man standing in front of her, her arms were crossed with the fingers of her hands burying their nails in her own flesh with almost enough strength to draw blood.
"What do you want?" she finally asked.
"Your help in talking with Naruto." Jiraiya answered simply while keeping distance from her so to not antagonize her further.
"Why me?" Ilia asked with narrowed eyes.
"I am a good spy, miss. I tracked your father and heard him talk with another villager about you two being together...You are the closest one to him, and I need your help." the Spy Master answered.
"He is trying to save Hyrule, you can't pretend him to drop everything!" she hissed back in anger.
"I KNOW! I KNOW!" the other replied with a tired scream before passing an hand in his long hair with a suffered sigh.
"I know...I fucked-up in our first meeting and now he believes that we all want him back for his powers, and in part it's sadly true."
"So what? You need a living weapon?"
"What do you know about the Elemental Nations?" Jiraiya asked sitting on a near rock.
"Pretty much everything Naruto himself knows, he told me as soon as our relationship became serious and I promised to keep everything a secret, and I am still keeping all he told me to myself." she answered.
"So you know that the 'Peace' we have is one where everything stands on a precarious equilibrium?" Jiraiya said sighing.
"Yes, all the 'Major' Villages used to keep the 'Minor' ones under control with the threat of their bigger armies and the holders of a Tailed Beast; at the same time the 'Big Five' are each kept at bay by the other four so that no-one of them gets too daring: as soon as one tries to overstep the other four flex their muscles to keep the stray one in line by remembering them that they are not the strongest one." Ilia answered.
"Good. Up until now the Nine Biju helped doing just that: dividing them between the various Villages so that no-one was stronger than all the others. Like that a sort of Equilibrium was formed...Then the Akatsuki and Madara happened that threw everything down the drain. And now there is only Naruto and the now Ten-tailed Fox Biju inside him, even Killer Bee that was the only one other than him to hold a Tailed Beast now holds a mere soul as the Hachibi inside him had his powers completely absorbed by Naruto's Biju...It is not a surprise that now everyone back home has gone into a frenzy." Jiraiya answered.
"So, what should I do to help you?" Ilia finally asked after taking-in a long breath.
"I want Naruto to forgive me, to forgive Tsunade and Shizune and Sasuke and Kakashi and Gaara and...I want him to forgive us...to not forget us...And to come back to Konoha." Jiraiya answered sighing.
"That's all?" the girl said with narrowed eyes and sarcastic tone.
"I need you to help me convince him to come back once this crisis is over and the banishment order expires. This is a nice land, I admit it, so I can understand his wish to remain here, but his place is with us...he can't abandon everything, he just can't."
"All for his powers?"
"NO! All for me and his friends! We are his family and we want him back! Does he want to be a farmer? Good! We will give him a piece of land to cultivate back in Konoha and no-one will bother him. We won't ask him to take missions unless he himself asks for them."
"And what about me? And the people of Ordon? And will the ones that pushed for his exile be happy with his returning and being a farmer? You mean to tell me that they won't try to put him into a coma? Ever?" Ilia asked.
"..."
"I thought so." she said coldly at seeing the Spy Master's silent grimace.
"...He shouldn't have run away. We need that Peace." he muttered looking away.
"You have that Peace already, Spy Master. You are just too blind to see it." a new voice said.
"Rusl!" Ilia said in surprise at seeing the man joining her with a Goron tailing behind him.
"What do you mean?" Jiraiya asked with narrowed eyes.
"He has took away your Living Weapons, right? He has took them away and in here. Not a single Village back in your Land has one now, so you still have that Equilibrium you so much seems to love. Only this time it's one without Tailed Beasts." Rusl answered as he and the rock-made warrior stepped in front of the girl to shield her.
"You want Naru-goron to go back in your Village, THAT will break the Peace you now have as he alone has that power, whatever Village he joins will then have an edge on the others. No-one will be able to rest easily knowing that your Village has that advantage on them." the Goron added.
"And what about us? His friend? His family?" Jiraiya asked back between clenched teeth.
"Take her away, Gor-Muro. I will keep him occupied." Rusl asked stepping forward.
"I have not bad intentions." Jiraiya said rising both hands in a non-threatening way.
"He can't return home, Spy Master. He has no choice but remain here and he knows it, he knows that now that the Biju inside him is the only one still able to fight the more Power-hungry elements of the Elemental Countries will always plot to enslave him." Rusl answered.
"Hold on tight, human." Gor-Muro muttered as Ilia climbed his shoulder.
"I am ready." the girl said making the Goron run away as fast as he could.
"Where are you taking her?" Jiraiya asked.
"To Renado, he is already keeping our kids safe and will protect Ilia as well," the swordsman answered, his lie convincing enough to fool the Toad Sage.
"Listen...I just want to talk to Naruto...I understand that having him back will cause trouble, but I am not ready to give-up on him. No-one in the Elemental Nations is. We want our friends back."
"Whatever he likes it or not?" Rusl asked with a growling whisper.
"The people in charge, the Daimyos, won't let him go that easily. I am the 'Gentler way' to convince him to come back, if they learn about him being in Hyrule they will send here every capable Hunter-nin at their disposal to take him back. They see him as an asset, a property, and won't accept him not obeying their orders and be their Shinobi. If they discover that he is here they will force him back."
"Let them come." Rusl answered in determination.
"Uhu! You know? I bet a lot of Naruto's friends back in Konoha would be envious of that strength of Will of you people should they know about this. I just hope that I will manage to convince him to come back instead, otherwise I don't know how much your resolve will last in front of hundreds of hunters coming here to take him back by force. But know that I hope things won't go in that direction, for you people's sake." Jiraiya said before leaving for Kakariko Town to try and talk to Ilia and Renado and seek their help.
Too bad instead that Ilia was being brought to Telma's bar in Hyrule Castle town so that the woman and the rest of her 'Friends' will protect her and let her and Naruto meet in peace whenever they want or that three Goddesses had heard what Jiraiya said and were now plotting against that scenario while glaring an hole in the Spy Master's head from up in the heavens making him shiver by reflex.
With Naruto and Midna – Sacred Groove -
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" A strange kid with a blue face dressed in clothes seemingly made-out of leaves and a pointy hat was screaming in fear while running through the forest on the trees and/or the floor while trying to play a trumpet-like instrument shooting out dead leaves at each note.
A pity that 'each note' also kind of sounded like farts and that every time he played a new puppet monster appeared to attack both shinobi and Imp Girl.
"COME BACK HERE!" Both Midna and Naruto growled in chorus while giving chase.
"IT WAS A PRANK! A PRANK! A PRAAAAAAANK!" the boy bellowed in fear as the furry bullet with nine tails behind him kept tearing to shreds whatever was put against him.
"ANNOYING PEOPLE AND HARASS THEM JUST TO THEN SAY 'it's a Prank, Bro!' when they obviously get mad is not an excuse! NOW LET ME CATCH YOU!" Naruto yelled in rage as he managed to bit two puppets in half at the same time in a single bite.
"I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH ME!" the kid shrieked.
"What?" the transformed shinobi said stopping abruptly.
"I just...want someone to play with me." the Skull Kid repeated slowly.
"You don't want to hurt people, boy? I find it hard to believe." Midna said huffing with crossed arms.
"But I do!" the kid answered with a petulant whine.
"And you want us to play with you?" Naruto asked.
"Uh-hu! Do that and I will show you a special place! One with two very creepy statues and a locked door...I will even let you take whatever it is behind it. If you can open it." the kid answered nodding rapidly with his creeping smile returning at full power.
"And in exchange you will take us to this special place," Midna answered with narrowed eyes.
"Uh-hu!" the other answered nodding.
"Let's make the brat happy, the sooner we have done the sooner we will finally return Naruto to an human body." Utsukushi said annoyed.
"We will play with you, but we are in an hurry so we can't stay long, okay?" Naruto offered.
"HURRAY! Then catch me!" the Skull Kid said happily as with a new round of trumpet a dozen puppet appeared to cover his escape.
"THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE THING!" Midna roared as the summoned monsters pounced on them all at once.
The game in itself was simple, find the hiding Skull Kid while chasing him through the forest, luckily the boy had a lit lantern in his hand so giving away his position alone his playing the same trumpet-like instrument, the problem was the continuous stream of puppets jumping Naruto following the Skull Kid's twisted sense of 'playing'.
When the transformed shinobi FINALLY managed to pounce on the boy a last time the creepy guy was seemingly satisfied as his body 'melted' into leaves and flew up in the sky leaving behind his creepy laugh and farewell.
"Hee Hee Hee!...'bye!"at those words a near wall simply faded away leaving a tunnel leading to a wide clearing with tiles forming the Triforce Emblem on the floor and two tall statues holding an hammer-like weapon each guarding an evidently-sealed door.
"We are going to murder him the next time we meet, right?" Midna (with her uncovered eye ravaged by a tick of pure barely-restrained rage) asked.
"I will kick his ass into another dimension, promise." and equally angry Naruto answered nodding.
"This should be the place that Hero Ghost talked about. Start whistling, Midna." Utsukushi said with narrowed eyes.
"Here comes nothing." Midna answered sighing as she tried to whistle the tune the Hero Shade taught them, and actually taking several tries before catching the right tune and speed of the music.
In answer both the Imp Girl and the transformed shinobi saw everything fade to darkness while the Triforce Emblem under them lighted-up in a blinding light, when their vision turned to normal they discovered they were now standing on a pillar of rock while the rest of the terrain had been switched to a bottomless hole, several other pillars were around them while the same statues were standing on their own.
In a cracking of rock the two golems turned to 'look' at Naruto while a whispering, dull voice echoed in the clearing coming from said statues that gained life and jumped to stand one in front and one behind the shinobi to better look at him.
"We are the guardians of this land." the one on the front said.
"Guide us to where we once stood." the one behind Naruto added.
"Only then can you enter the true Sacred Grove." the first guardian finished saying.
"...Ok." with an expression pretty much identical to a certain overpowered bald super hero Naruto grabbed the ankle of the first golem to lift it, and after a short spinning on himself he threw it right back on the pedestal it was on at the beginning.
"EH?!" the two golems said in shock.
"One done...aaaand that's two!" the transformed shinobi said as he repeated the action with the second statue sending it flying right back in its starting position.
"But...but...but..." the first said confused.
"The Puzzle...The challenge..." the second guardian added with a tone both whining and disbelieving.
"I am in an hurry, you'll do that with the next hero. Now open that damn door!"
Huffing in annoyance both Guardians stood back up and slammed the back of their weapons down making the floor return to normal and the door slid upward open.
"Go now to the sacred place...bastard." the Guardians muttered annoyed.
"We yield passage to the Sacred Grove...Just get the fuck off and don't come back." was the last thing they said before returning dormant.
"Eh! Sore losers." Utsukushi answered smirking while Naruto entered the door.
"There it is, The Master Sword." Midna said as soon as they finally reached the end of a short corridor, standing in a small clearing devoid of everything and only occupied by ankle-high 'water' stood a sword firmly plunged tip-first on a small pedestal.
"What now?" Naruto asked.
"Just touch it. The Purifying Magic of the Sword will do the rest." the Imp Girl answered.
As if to answer itself, from the blade came an explosion of light that launched Midna away and covered everything making the transformed shinobi grit his teeth in pain as he felt a burning sensation spread along his whole body.
"Ah!...Uuhm! Interesting little thing." Midna said in surprise as a mean-looking shard of condensed Magic appeared in her hands while the blond shinobi happily looked at his hands and at his once again human body.
"OH, YEAH! I am baaaaack!" Naruto said happily while pumping his fist high in the air.
"Glad to see it, Tee hee hee! I prefer you looking like this." Midna answered as she floated near him to jokingly punch his shoulder.
"I don't like this result instead." Utsukushi answered sighing as she was instead back into being a giant fox.
"We'll find a solution for that, I promise." the blond shinobi said with an encouraging smile.
"I hope so, next stop?" the Vixen asked.
"Well, we could try to..." what Midna was about to say stopped when a weak voice resounded around them.
"Wait...take me...with you..." the faint echo said pleadingly.
"The sword?!" Naruto said shocked.
"I have never seen enchantments like this...they are ancient." Midna answered with narrowed eyes.
"To defeat the evil...that plagues this land...You'll need the Master Sword. Only its power can truly vanquish it..." the voice said.
"I am sure me and my jutsu and Samehada will be good enough, you just rest, you sound tired..." the shinobi answered with a gentle smile.
"Please...my conscience has almost completely faded away...A last mission." the voice begged.
Sigh! "Okay."
"Just use me for the finishing blow...I ask just that...I won't intrude more." the voice pleaded.
"Don't worry, you helped me so I am helping you." the blond man said with a gentle smile as he grabbed on the hand to pull the sword out.
As soon as the blade was completely free the water around the area rapidly evaporated while the light bathing the trees momentarily seemed to get even brighter before rapidly returning to normal.
"I guess it means that the sword accepted you as its master." Midna said floating closer.
"...I'll need a sheathe though." Naruto answered unsure, swords were still not his thing, He actually got Samehada because the Light Spirits seemed adamant in him using one, but he could not in good conscience not help the spirit inside it after listening to its plead.
"For now seal it with your shark-like one, we'll find one next time we go to Hyrule Castle Town, the sword has been trapped here for who knows how long, may as well keep it on your back to show it the world." the Imp Girl answered.
"Yeah, sounds like a good idea." the shinobi answered before sealing the Master Sword in the same scroll of Samehada.
"This thing instead...this is interesting." Midna then said showing the strange black shard with a mischievous smile.
"What is that?" Naruto asked.
"This is the embodiment of the evil magic that Zant cast on you, it's definitely different from our tribe's shadow magic..." she said deep in thought.
"Nasty, I feel unease just looking at it." he answered trying to reach for it only for Midna to move back slightly.
"Careful, if you touch it, you'll turn back into a beast!" she said annoyed.
"Sorry!"
"That thing is too dangerous, wouldn't it be for the best if we just leave it here,huh?" Utsukushi asked.
"But, on the other hand..." Naruto muttered unsure.
"If we keep it, you'd be able to transform into a beast anytime you wanted." Midna finished for him with a nod.
"Yes, since Zant was kind enough to give this to us, we should be thankful and use it all we can!" the Imp Girl added smirking.
"...I was wondering...Can you materialize that thing n here with me? I can keep it 'isolated' and then just let it transform Naruto every time we need." Utsukushi asked.
"Why?" Midna asked with narrowed eyes.
"Just do it! If it doesn't work the Sword will just expell it again." the Vixen answered growling.
"Okay, okay...just be quiet, fur-ball." the small girl said huffing annoyed as she made the shard disappear in a burst of her magic.
"..."
"Utsukushi?" Naruto asked as the silence kept growing longer.
"..."
"Fur-ball?" Midna asked in dread, she wanted the girl away from her man, not dead!
"...HOLY SHIT IT WORKED!" a gleeful scream finally echoed in both Human and Twili's mind making them flinch in agony at the volume.
"What worked?" Naruto asked weakly, still shocked by the outburst.
"IF I KEEP IT I TURN INTO AN HUMAN! I HAVE AN HUMAN BODY NOW! I ONLY NEED A WAY TO GET OUT OF HERE, KICK THOSE TWO BITCHES AWAY AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINALLY PERFECT!" the Vixen, now back in her human boy, answered excitedly.
"Good for you." Midna said with a tone dripping pure venom, especially for the 'bitch' insult.
"Okay, I am happy this issue has been resolved as well, but can we move on now? Hyrule won't save itself." Naruto said shaking his head in amusement.
"Yes, we should move. I want to keep a low profile, so I'll hide in your shadow when you are human and-"
"Nope!" the shinobi said smirking.
"W-What?" the Imp Girl asked stumbling in her words at the interruption.
"Zant knows we work together and surely he has told his boss, the monsters normally we meet will blindingly attack me regardless and now you can safely stay in the light...Why should you hide?" Naruto asked back while holding his hands on his hips.
"But...But you...we need to stay low...and-" Midna tried saying.
"I wear a red coat with black flames and an orange-and-black jumpsuit under it, clothes no-one else in Hyrule apparently has; I have my face covered by the hawk mask and my hood at all times and carry an huge scroll strapped horizontally on my back...I AM hyper-recognizable already, a cute Imp riding my shoulder won't make any difference. You don't even resemble the beasts we meet normally and most of the times normal people can't even see them because of the Twilight Veil...and I want to have you around as I enjoy your company." he answered with narrowed eyes, the last part a shy muttering said while scratching the back of his neck.
Without saying a word, but only leaving-out a small nervous cough, Midna silently floated towards him to then sit on his right shoulder, grabbing onto his clothes and leaning a little on the side of his head.
"...Let's go, thanks to that thing you can warp whenever you want by switching into your fox form, it's easier if that magic courses through you." she muttered.
"Thanks." he answered turning his head to better look at her.
"No problem, but listen, Naruto...I've got a little favor to ask..." she said moving away from his shoulder to stand right in front of him.
"I am listening."
"Would you mind coming with me to find something called the Mirror of Twilight? It's hidden somewhere in Hyrule."
"What does it do?" Utsukushi asked crossing her arms.
"That Mirror is our last potential link to Zant." the Imp Girl answered.
"Then let's go! I will help you find it!" Naruto answered in determination.
"Thank you." she answered with a little smile.
"No problem, Midna." he said stealing a little peck on her lips and smiling wide at her face turning full green.
"...Idiot." she muttered while returning to sit on his shoulder.
"Ehm-Ehm!" Utsukushi growled in answer.
"I have one for you as well, don't worry!" he thought in answer.
"You better!" she answered, assaulting the young man's mental projection as soon as he appeared near her for a kind-of-indecent kiss.
"Once you have done. I think we should really go." Midna said annoyed.
"Yes, right. Let's go to Telma, I want to hear if they know anything about Ero-Sennin," Naruto said while pocketing a fluorescent snail to bring it to Agitha (it was a snail, if the girl really wanted to have a Tea-party with insects that one would take years to reach the girl).
"Get ready! I'll use the one taking us to Hyrule Field, like that people won't see you turn from a fox into an human!" Midna said as the shinobi's body firstly returned into being that of a wolf-sized nine-tailed fox before breaking down into black fragments suckled inside a portal.
Some time later – Telma's – (the game had its reasons to hide Midna, I have not such issues) -
As soon as both shinobi and Imp Girl entered they were welcomed by the widely-smiling woman happily waving at them.
"Oh my! If it isn't Naruto and his little friend! You seem to have recovered well, young lady!" Telma said winking at the duo.
"I have, thank you for your help, Telma." Midna answered nodding.
"I am happy to hear that! And you? How've you been, honey?" the bar(wo)man then asked as Naruto sat at one of her stools.
"I am okay as well, a bit thirsty but I am fine." the blond answered smiling, surprised to see a glass getting slammed in front of him at record speed.
"The first is on the house, the others you'll pay like the others. That Jiraiya has been here this morning to ask if me or my friends saw you, I promised him we would have informed him and then...naturally we will say the exact opposite of what you are doing IF we ever happen to see you pass by, of course. One of our men actually saw him move towards the Zora domain, so he'll be busy for a while." the woman said with a new wink.
"Thank you, Telma." the shinobi answered grateful while chugging down his pint.
"I was actually talking about you with a couple of friends, you know?"
"And I am honestly curious to finally meet them," Naruto answered chuckling.
"Then just go talk with them! Hey, everyone! Introduce yourselves! This handsome young man is the infamous Naruto!" Telma said rising her voice.
"The Fox? Oh! This is interesting! I wonder what spell was behind the transformation..." one of the presents said with a very curious expression.
"You remember what I told you before, honey? We are the ones who are trying to help deal with all the troubles in Hyrule, even if we actually are lacking two of them...But at least Rusl-"
"RUSL?!" Naruto yelled with wide eyes.
"He didn't tell you?"
"No, he hasn't." the other answered grumbling.
"He probably didn't want you to worry, he is a relatively new recruit, he should return here before night, you two will talk then."
"What about the other one missing?" Midna asked.
"There's been a disturbing turn of events in the eastern desert, so he's gone to check it out, should you pass by would you be against the idea of checking on him? We are starting to get worried." Telma answered sighing.
"I'll keep my eyes open, don't worry."
"Thank you. He is an old man named Auru, take time to talk to him if you happen to see him, ok, honey?"
"Sure thing." he answered nodding.
"I know you are on a tight schedule, but is getting late so I can offer you a place to sleep; there are some emergency rooms hidden under the bar we use for emergencies, should Jiraiya pop-up here those are also connected to a tunnel leading outside town so he won't even know you are here." the woman offered.
"I don't know..." Naruto answered unsure.
"Trust me, you'll like the surprise." Telma answered smirking.
"...Okay?" the young man said unsure.
The friends turned-out to be quite the 'Jolly Bunch' as Telma had described them, even if not as boisteruous as Naruto expected them to be from his past memories of the people he encountered in the Elemental Countries.
"I am Shad, wonderful to meet you." one of them had said presenting his hand.
"Naruto."
"Telma told me all you've been up to, you're rather formidable!"
"Jeez! Thanks!" the other answered smirking in discomfort.
"I'm rather NOT instead, I'm afraid. Well, I'm formidable at book reading, but I lack, shall we say, physical skills."
"NNNEEEEEERD!" Utsukushi yelled before melting in a mad laughing fit.
"So you are the expert of history and legends of the group?" Midna asked smirking, she too amused by the Vixen's outburst.
"Pretty much, if you're curious, just ask away." Shad answered nodding.
The man's companion was a girl named Ashei that had been trained by her father to be a knight, and because of that admitting that sometimes she could sound rude, even if unwillingly on her part.
"Listen, I have something important to say: Snowpeak, the mountain to the north of Hyrule, it's unlike any mountain I've ever known. Things happen there that happen on no other mountain I know of. Evil controls it, I'll let you know as soon as I discover more." she had said out of the blue while talking about the training she had went through.
"Okay, this is getting ridiculous! Are those Light Guardians pushing side-quests on us now!?" Utsukushi said indignant, unknowingly making the three Goddesses flinch at her words.
"I told you, we need to be more subtle. This Hero is harder to nudge into helping us with the our other troubles as well!" Farore muttered.
"We are just out of shape, it's been a while since the last Hero appeared..." Din answered shyly.
Other than that the rest of the night went on fairly quietly until he was showed the hidden tunnel behind the counter leading to the secret rooms, and the one they were letting him use for the night.
Later that night – hidden room underground -
"A surprise, uh? I wonder what is it." Naruto muttered yawning as he was lying on the surprisingly-soft bed with Midna curled on his chest.
It was in that moment that the door opened showing the last person he thought he would have met in there.
"Ilia?" he muttered in shock before the girl pounced on him making the Twili Imp topple on the floor waking-up.
"WHAT THE?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Midna asked with a roar and growing even angrier at seeing the two humans too much taken by their rabid tongue-war kiss to pay her attention.
"Not that I mind, but why you are here?" the blond man asked once the kiss finally paused.
"Rusl decided to send me here to keep me safe from that Spy Master, and like this we will be free to meet without interruptions. I was getting anxious about knowing nothing of what you were doing." she answered pulling her shirt above her head before restarting their kiss.
"Oh God, I missed you." he breathed-out while lightly biting on her neck making her moan.
"I can feel it, someone here seems to be even happier than you to see me." the girl answered as her hand grabbed his crotch with a firm grim making him shiver.
"Hands away! That is mine, along everything else attached to it." Midna hissed as she floated near Ilia with her arms crossed under her chest.
"Tch! You? Don't make me laugh! With that body you can't seriously think you will be able to do anything! Even a normal one would be a challenge, his would literally kill you." Ilia answered.
"Do not underestimate me, little girl!" the Imp Girl replied as her hand too went to squeeze 'downstairs' making Naruto whimper.
"Oh God!" he groaned as the two girls' hands kept pulling on it to bring it closer to them.
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"NO! MINE!" Utsukushi yelled joining the discussion.
"ENOUGH!" the sole male in the room bellowed pulling himself out from under Ilia making both girls shriek as they fell on the bed.
In the weak light of the candles in the room the shinobi's body was now only a dark silhouette casting his shadow on both girls as he towered over them with his eyes reduced to two bright point burning in unholy Lust.
"First I will calm you three...Then we will talk like civilized people." he said with his voice dropping few octaves because of his evident arousal before ever-so-slowly rising both hands in a cross-like hand-seal.
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu." he intoned darkly making several clones on himself appear next to him, both Original and Copies furiously 'Throbbing' in anticipation as soon as they discarded their clothes.
"Oh my...I forgot about that." Ilia whispered with wide eyes as she remembered how he could turn when she did set his motor running.
"He really can use that for this?" Midna added with her mouth dropping in a 'O' shape of wonder.
"Now calm down..." Utsukushi said while slowly backing-away as she saw the young man stalking closer to her in side the Seal as well, he was apparently horny enough to manage 'multitasking' even in that situation.
"No escape." he answered as he and the clones pounced.
Telma will be soon forced to close the bar as the noises kept going and going without stop forcing the woman and the blushing messes of her friends to have their meeting elsewhere as they kept getting distracted by the animal grunting of the three lovers and the consecutive orgasms exploding at random intervals coming from the underground tunnels.
No-one noticed a solitary luminescent dragonfly leaving the bar once the three finally fell asleep exhausted and everything slowly calmed-down, rapidly returning to Agitha's castle to report its findings.
Agitha's 'Castle' -
"Here you are! So? It's the Toad Prince is back or not?" the girl asked curious as soon as she saw her friend enter from the window.
"Bzzz!"
"Oh!"
"Bzzz...B-Bzzz!"
"On my...he...he can do all that to a woman? By himself?" the girl asked shocked while her face kept getting redder and redder.
"...Bzzzz!" the dragonfly added with what only her could read as an helpless tone.
"What do you mean with that 'I don't think you can handle him'? I very well can!" she answered stomping down with her feet.
"Bzz?"
"Well...no."
"Bzzz-Bzz?"
"No...I can't do that either..."
"Bzz!"
"Oh! Now you are exaggerating! That is not even physically possible without breaking your spine!" Agitha answered huffing.
"Bzzzz." the small bug said shrugging.
"Ah! That Midna girl can do that. Tch! It means nothing! He still has to stop the Evil Monsters plaguing Hyrule! In the meantime I will train and get good enough, I have more than enough time!" she said growling while her other bug friends near her nodded in agreement.
"But from where I should start?" she then asked muttering.
"Bzzz!" a near ladybug answered.
"...Kegel Exercises? Never heard of them. Is that something you do in a gym? Or a temple?"
At that an unanimous sigh escaped the assembled critters' mouths, they loved their beloved Princes dearly, but sometimes she was somehow too much 'pure' to deal with, but they were not going to abandon her, they will help Agitha!
"AAH! I got it! It must be one of those spiced dishes I heard so much talking about!" the girl said in realization and lightly bumping her fist on her open palm.
"...Goddesses please have mercy of us!" the various bugs thought with a desperate sigh as they prepared to undertake the new strenuous task to help Agitha.
Omake – Jiraiya Hylian Misadventure: The Zora Incident -
Caves near the Zora Domain -
A certain Spy Master from Konoha was slowly creeping around with his stomach glued to the floor as he stealthy moved through the most hidden crevices to enter the fish-men's domain unseen to look for traces and info about Naruto's whereabouts.
"Closer...closer..." Jiraiya muttered licking away a traitorous drop of sweat as it rolled down from his forehead to near his mouth.
"That human, sure he helped us a lot all things considered." a near voice said sighing.
"The Gorons called him Naruto. So at least we know the name of our saviour." another Zora guard answered.
"Ah-ha! They know about him, finally some good news!" the Toad Sage cheered mentally.
"I heard an human is hunting him down, the people in charge want us to keep that Jiraiya away from him at all cost," the first guard added.
"Shit! They are onto me! But their voices are getting fainter, I have to move closer."
"After thawing my cousin out of that block of ice? Eh! That human will have to step on my corpse to touch our friend." the second Zora replied huffing.
As the voices grew in number while at the same time becoming more faint and indistinguishable Jiraiya was forced to move through always smaller tunnels until a thick wall finally stopped him from advancing further.
"Eeh, not now! I didn't come this far just to stop for something as little as a wall! I'll make my own hole in there to listen...Using my Peeping Hole Jutsu to spy on a job-related conversation instead of a bath-house...I never knew this day would have come." Jiraiya muttered to himself as he moved a finger towards the wall to create a miniaturized Rasengan-like sphere to drill a tiny hole in the wall so to look inside to spy what he was certain was a meeting room for guards...
Penises.
Penises everywhere.
Naked fish-men with human-like penises covered in scaled skin flaying around as their owners walked or throbbing in furious erections as a couple of Zora went through 'Measuring Contests'.
Jiraiya had not stumbled in a room of guards, but in the male side of their underground changing room!
"KYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAH!" At that revelation I hope you'll forgive him if he answered to that horrifying show by shrieking and demolishing the actually thin wall separating him from them in his uncontrolled shock of disgust.
"AN HUMAN!" yelled a Zora.
"A PERVERT SPYING ON US!" another said, unknowingly hurting Jiraiya deep inside even more at that accusation (He loved Tits, thank you very much!).
"HEY! He is that Human Spy the Gorons warned us against!"
"And he was spying on us while having who knows what sick fantasy! LET'S BEAT HIM!"
"NO! DO NOT BEAT ME!" the Toad Sage begged as the furious horde of angry male Zora descended on him with raised fists.
It wasn't the punches or kicks to hurt the most, but watching up close all those male dongs wildly flapping around without control at a millimeter of his face; but it was when a particularly furious Zora overstepped in his haste to punch Jiraiya that all went to hell, because once slipped on the wet floor the fish-man guard momentarily slipped forward towards the Toad Sage, with the added result of 'Slapping' said human on the cheek with his penis making the shinobi go wide-eyed and...
"AAAAAAH!" Give the loudest scream of horror ever heard before fainting on the spot with a clearly traumatized expression frozen on his face.
"Wow! I didn't know you were into that sort of things." the Zora's friend said smirking.
"W-W-WHAT?! I-I just slipped! YOU ALL SAW THAT!" the one that had 'slapped' Jiraiya answered immediately while blushing.
"Dude...That was just wrong...Not that there is anything bad in liking humans, we all have our fetishes! But still, at least wait until we all have left!" another said barely containing his laughter.
"You are a bunch of assholes! Just help me kick this bastard out of our territory!"
"You sure you don't want to remain alone with him a little before that? We are not judging!"
"Go fuck yourself, man!"
Needless to say, once managed to escape the wrath of the fish-people, it will take a while to Jiraiya to recover and start once again his hunt for Naruto, not before managing with great difficulty to erase the horrible, horrible memories of what he saw and felt in the Zora domain; sure he was still waking up screaming at random times because of his nightmares, but he was slowly getting better.
Finally managed to finish this. Sorry the wait or lower quality.
My life is trying to suck away every ounce of free time I have so writing is getting ridiculously difficult.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience, but I promise that I will update every one of my story, just have patience.
With hope you will still keep following me, I will see you around the Net.
Have a nice day.
