Welcome back to Hero of the Elemental Nation folks! Been a long while just been cooped up with work and my other stories, my bad. Before I begin I wanna address 3 questions that drew my attention from a "Guest" user: "Will other Races appear in this story?" Yes I am indeed planning on including more species into the story. "Which Zelda are you going to use?" My lips are sealed on that question, why ruin the fun? "Why do I feel like characters like Mipha and Maron will show and fall for Naruto?" Three answers to this one: 1. This takes place at the end of all the timelines, I'll find a way to connect them up in the future, so most of the characters are gone, reason why Mido and Saria are Spirits, I may make more characters spirits but we'll see. 2. I saw that mentioned Cia from Hyrule Warriors, ooohoo I actually plan on bringing her in with a Warriors arc in the future. 3. I am planning on making Naruto a Harem, already planning for Hinata and Zelda, as more characters come in (both OC and regular) I'll plan on either they're perfect for it or no. Anyways onto the chapter. As per usual I do not own the Naruto and Legend of Zelda franchises, please support the official release.
Hero Of The Elemental NationChapter 4Battle of the BridgeTazuna's Home (3 Days Later)
Naruto was currently snoring away, showing signs of exhaustion. Riju, who offered to join guarding Tazuna, rubbed the back of her head sheepishily. "It was kinda my fault that Naruto's like this.." Kakashi shook his head. "No," he replied, "Naruto doesn't know his own limits at times, thus why he usually exhaust himself. So his Chakra Control Training and his Ken- Sword training did take a toll on him." Sasuke nodded as Sakura spoke. "He did have poor Chakra contol until yesterday, is there any reason why Naruto couldn't do it easily if he had enough Chakra to spare?" That got Kakashi thinking.'Sakura is right, did the Academy squandered his Chakra training? And if they did, why? Unless the Civilian Council wanted Sasuke to have extra training...'"We may not know Sakura," spoke the sensi, "but for now Naruto needs some rest." Tsunami nodded. "Don't worry bout him, I'll keep an eye on him" Kakashi nodded as the rest of Team 7 and Riju headed to the bridge with Tazuna.
(A/N: I won't add what happens after Naruto wakes up because it's the same as the Canon)
Bridge Construction Site
Everyone arrived at the bridge to only hear the sounds of swords clashing. "Am I the only one that hears that?" asks Riju. Kakashi nodded and pulls out a kunai. "Everyone, protect Tazuna," he ordered, "I'll investigate what's going on." He then ran stealthily to the source, but as he arrived, he saw Zabuza and the fake Hunter-Nin fighting a strange looking person. He has pale grey skin, White hair that covers one of his eyes, wearing a red poncho/cape combo and a white uniform of sorts with diamond shaped hole on the legs, who is weilding a raiper-like sword. But what shocked Kakashi the most was that this strange person was handling himself well against Zabuza. "I'll ask again 'Demon' where is the Hero?" the strange man asked. Zabuza gave a glare to him before growling out, "Like I would tell a bastard like you, he is just a fresh genin, barely even managed to use the sword well." Kakashi's visable eye widened. 'Zabuza is protecting Naruto?' he thought, 'But why?' The mystery man sighed. "Well then..." he began as he then summoned multiple silver kunai floating in the air, "this should be able to make you talk." With a snap of his fingers the kunai flew towards the masked person with Zabuza's eyes widened in horror. "HAKU!" he cried out. At the last minute, Kakashi stepped in front of the now identified Hake and blocked the kunai with his own. "Attacking an unarmed opponent just like that? You must truly want my student that badly." Zabuza's eyes widened. "Kakashi! Why did you...?" "Simple really," Kakashi began to answer the Demon of the Mist, "You are protecting my student, so I protected yours." The mystery man growled in anger before realizing what Kakashi said. "YOUR student hm?" he said with a smirk, before pointing his sword at the son of the White Fang, "perhaps you can tell me where he is." Kakashi looked down before gripping his headband. "If you want to know where he is," he began before lifting his headband revealing the Sharingan, "You'll have to beat it out of me." Zabuza looked between Kakashi and Haku before addressing the latter. "Haku fall back, me and Kakashi have this guy," he ordered. Haku hesitated before nodding and disappears as both shinobi look at the man. "What are we dealing with?" Kakashi asked. "He apparently calls himself the 'Demon Lord' and seeking out your student to ensure his master's plans would work into thier favor," Zabuza answered. "Aww why did you have to ruin the fun?" the 'Demon Lord' asked sarcastically before raising his sword again gaining a serious expression. "I will get the answer I seek, one way or another." Zabuza and Kakashi narriowed thier eyes at him before all three rushed toward each other beginning their fight.
Haku arrived infront of the rest of Team 7 and Riju, shocking Sasuke and Sakura along with Tazuna. The two Team 7 members stepped in front of the bridge builder protecting him. "What are you doing here?" asked Sasuke with Sakura asking, "Where is Kakashi-Sensei?" the masked ninja looked at them before looking around. "Where's the Hero? We need his help." Sasuke narrows his eyes at the masked nin. "And why do you need Naruto's help?" he asked. She looked at Sasuke before removing her face mask, revealing a worried face with tears falling. "The person fighting Zabuza-Sama and your sensei appears stronger than he seems and he is demanding for the Hero. I believe only he can stop him." Sasuke growled a bit in frustration not knowing what to do. Riju stepped forward before speaking. "Naruto is still not well versed with a sword so I am not sure how well he will handle this person of which you speak." "Doubting me already Riju?" Everyone turned to the source of the voice revealing Naruto standing on the way. "Naruto! what the hell you doing here?" Sasuke asked. "Well Inari and Tsunami got attacked in thier home by Gato's goons so I thought Zabuza was here causing trouble," Naruto answered, "But to hear he is in trouble, something just doesnt add up." Haku gasped as she placed the pieces together. "Gato was going to betray us..." she realized. Riju letted out a small growl. "I know we don't have males in the Gerudo tribe, but we wouldn't just betray the people we help!" Naruto looked ahead. "So he is there I am guessing?" he asked. Haku nodded. "Yes," she responded, "But do you think..?" "If I can beat this guy? Maybe, but we'll see..." Naruto responded before moving forward before being stopped by Sasuke. "Naruto!" he called out. The blonde looked toward his teammate. "This is your first true battle," he began, "I have a feeling this person boosted this misson up to an S Ranked Mission, so try not to die dobe." Naruto nodded with a smirk. "Sure thing baka," Naruto responded with Sasuke returning the smirk as Riju spoke. "Naruto remember your training," she said, "Make sure to show no openings and attack when you see one." Sakura then added, "Also remember that the Master Sword can't be useful with your shadow clones." Naruto nodded. "I actually have an idea to use shadow clones. Wish me luck!" he said as he rushed toward the battle.
Naruto arrived noticing Kakashi and Zabuza covered in cuts and bruises. He growled as looked at thier attacker. "HEY!" He called out. The 'Demon Lord' turned his head and smiled a mischievous smile. "So," he said, "the Hero arrives." "Naruto, get out of here!" called out Kakashi. "So Naruto's the name? Not Link? I'm surprised," The mystery person said as he walked towards Naruto before disappearing in a cluster of diamonds. Naruto looked around before pulling out the Master Sword keeping his senses high as he focuses around him before he noticed the 'Demon Lord' behind him before trying to slash at him, with him dodging. "My, my, you are on high alert aren't you fishcake?" the man spoke before bowing, "but where are my manners, your teacher didn't let you introduce yourself, but I believe I should introduce myself. I am Ghirahim, servant of Lord of Darkness and I been seeking you." Naruto narrowed his eyes at the now named Ghirahim. "And what is it you want with me?" he asked keeping his guard up. Ghirahim chuckled. "Originally, I wanted to kill you, but killing a boy like you would be unhonorable. So..." Ghirahim smirked as he taunted Naruto with a long tongue wiggle, "I'll beat you within an inch of your life." Naruto growled a bit as Fi spoke."Be Careful Naruto, Ghirahim is a strong warrior and can summon diamond blades the stop you in you tracks."Naruto nodded at the sword spirit's advice. "Thanks Fi-Chan," he whispered before looking at Ghirahim and calls out. "You want a fight? You got one!" Naruto tossed the sword into the air and formed the handsign. "KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!" Forty Narutos appeared as one of them catches the Master Sword.
Ghirahim looked at the Naruto holding the Master Sword before sending a diamond knife to it before the blonde tossed it to another Naruto before he poofed via the diamond. "WHAT?!" Ghirahim roared as Zabuza and Kakashi understood Naruto's plan. 'Clever idea brat,' thought the Mist Ninja. 'Naruto is using the disadvantage of only one Sword so he can confuse on who the real Naruto is,' thought the son of the White Fang. The demon lord looked over all the Narutos growling before each the clone begun charging at him with a thunderous roar minus a good 8 stay behind and whispers amongst them. Ghirahim slashed at all the clone sending diamond shards at them to defend himself. "Cocky brat," he said as he slashed clone number 27 causing him to poof in a bit of smoke. "NOW!" Naruto cried as the last of the clone charged before 3 of them sent punches to before 4 kicking him into the air. "UZUMAKI COMBO..." the last Naruto with sword glowing of chakra slashed down at Ghirahim sending him to the ground. "HERO BARRAGE!" Ghirahim groaned as he stood up before chuckling. "I gotta to admit brat, that actually hurt," he said looking directly at the blonde hero, "victory is yours for now, and as a prize, I'll give a slight hand to this city's dilemma." The demon lord snapped his fingers before a sound of a thud was heard. Everyone looked in the direction and noticed a small man on the ground with blood coming from the back of his head courtesy of a diamond blade. "What the hell?!" Naruto exclaimed shocked. Zabuza stared in shock as well, along with everyone else on the bridge, including the people behind the man. "T-That was Gato..." Zabuza said in disbelief, "he was going to betray us." Ghirahim chuckled with a nod. "Even I could feel his intentions," he said before looking at Naruto with the blonde glaring at him, "Oh come now, Victory is yours, this town is saved," his grin then became a frown, "but enjoy your victory for now 'fishcake' for next time we meet I'll be fighting to kill." With a snap of his fingers he disappeared in a group of diamonds. Naruto stared at where the "Demon Lord" stood as he sheathed the Master Sword. "It's Malestrom," said the blonde, "and I'll be ready." He turned to look at Gato's army and growled.
Suddenly a rock hitted one of Gato's men and everyone saw, behind the men, the entire village, with the Gerudos, ready for a fight and leading the charge is... "INARI!" Exclaimed Naruto in excitement. Inari gave a big grin as Nabooru waved at them and rubbing Inari's head "We figured this would happen," said the Gerudo leader. "A hero always come at a right time right?" spoke the grandson of the bridge builder. Said Bridge builder looked at everyone with pride with tears forming. Zabuza joined by Haku's side. Haku looked at Zabuza tilting her head a bit. "Let's save this town Haku," he said as he pulls out his sword. Haku smiled with a nod as she pulled out senbon needles. Naruto noticed everyone prepping and he nodded at Kakashi before both formed the same handsign. "KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!" Both manage to summon 20 clones each as Gato's men showed signs of fear knowing they are out numbered. "Shall we?" asked one of the Kakashis before Gato's men screamed in fear and panic and jumped off the bridge. The whole Village erupted in cheers. Sakura hugged Sasuke which Sasuke surprise by it, but returned the hug. Tazuna ran to Inari laughing as he hugged him. "I am so proud of you Inari," said the Bridge builder. Riju stood in front of Nabooru before kneeling to her. "Mission complete Lady Nabooru." The leader of the Gerudos nodded. Naruto's and Kakshi's clones poofed into smoke as Kakashi looked at the scene in front of him. "You did a great job Naruto." Naruto looked at his sensei with a raised eyebrow before Kakashi answered the unasked question. "You brought hope to this village and restored courage to someone who lost it long ago. You truly are the Hero the Elemental Nations needs." Kakashi gave an eye smile as Naruto looked at everyone and nodded. "I guess so Kakashi sensei," spoke Naruto as his mind went to Ghirahim, "And the next time i see him... I'll be ready."
KonahaHokage's Office
"Well," spoke Hiruzen, "we are honored to have you here with us to watch the Chunin Exams your highness." He was speaking to a young girl, bout 13 years in age with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a white dress with 3 yellow triangles on the right sleeve with purple gloves and a necklace with a purple gem. She nodded with a bright smile to the Hokage. The woman next to her, who was wearing a warrior outfit with what looked like Tribal Tattoos on her face (A/N: Think Impa's outfir from Hyrule Warriors), addressed the Hokage. "We are indeed excited to see who will be able to raise up and take the next rank of their career." Hiruzen nodded. "Well I do hope you enjoy your stay here, and if you need any for of assistance at all, be sure to notify the ANBU, and you may also have them to contact me if a situation arises, especially from the civilians," spoke the third Hokage. The two nodded before leaving the Hokage behind, as he formed 10 clones and the clones began doing the paperwork. 'Now I know how Minato managed to complete the paperwork faster than I did, why didn't I think of this before?' (A/N: I will create an Omake how he figured this.)
As the two visitors exit the Hokage office to the street, the woman looked at the girl before speaking. "Are you sure that the New Hero is here Princess Zelda?" Zelda looks at the woman with a big smile on her face. "Of course I do Impa," she says, "He may not be here right now but one thing I do know, by the time we find him, the world may already know about who he is." Unknowingly to the both of them, a yellow triangle glows on the princess' left hand, near her pinkie.
Sorry this took long to finish, I had meant to get it done like in the middle of last year, but with the craziness of 2020, yeah, was focused on my two other stories, mainly my Disney story. But I am slowly getting back into the swing of things, and sorry the battle wasn't bigger as it was going to be but to make up for it, the next chapter will be an anthology chapter, similar to omakes but will focus on certain characters I will say who they are next time. But till then Ajohrendt out!
