Welcome back everyone to Hero of the Elemental Nations. Let me start off by addressing a review by Carneyjarred left in the last chapter. Carney wrote: 'I was kind of hoping for original villains since every Zelda game is it's own legend with some connected to very loose ties." I understand what you mean, but unfortunately I am not good with coming up with original characters for one thing, secondly, every legend is connected through the start of timeline with Skyward Sword, and as I stated before the story takes place at the end of all the timeline which I will connect down the road. Anyways this chapter will contain Short Stories that all will connect to the main story. But as always I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR THE LEGEND OF ZELDA FRANCHISES. Please Enjoy!


Chapter 5

Tales of the Triforce


Tale of Wisdom

Konoha Town Square

Zelda and Impa were enjoying the sights and sounds of the village. They managed to check every store and managed to purchase several new jewelry fo Zelda which includes a necklace with a whirpool symbol in the final jewlery shop. When she asked the storekeeper the symbol's meaning, he gained a sad look before explaining. "That was the symbol of Konoha's greatest allies, the Whirlpool village known as Uzukagure. One of it's Citzen's actually married the First Hokage believe it or not. Mito I believe her name was." Zelda looks at the storekeep with a raised eyebrow. "Is there any of Mito's descendants still around today?" she asked. He looked down before responding, "There is one I have suspicions, but as much as I want to speak with him, the Civilian Council won't let me. Hell, they are making me raise my prices for the kiddo."

Impa then spoke, "What is the boy's name if I may ask?" The Storekeep looked at Impa as he replied. "Naruto Uzumaki, most people have treated him like a monster but, unfortunately info got leaked to me but unfortunately it is a triple S Ranked secret punishible by..."

"Death" the trio looked at the entrance and see a shinobi wearing a blank mask. "T-The Third supposed have disbanded your group awhile back!" the Storekeeper spoke. "Lord Danzo doesn't want anyone to go after the Jinchuriki. He's the sole weapon of Konoha." Zelda noticed Impa disappeared, probably to look for regular ANBU, so she decided to stall. "Why would this Danzo want to treat Naruto as a weapon and not a person?" The blank faced ANBU looked at Zelda as she continued, "I may not have met Naruto yet, but everyone should be treated the same." The 'ANBU' responded. "How did you know Naruto is the Jinchuriki?" Zelda smirked. "I didn't, you just confirmed it, I had my suspicions from people treating Naruto like a plague, from what this kind storekeep told me, to you conveniently come in as we were talking bout him. Plus since it is a Triple S ranked secret you exposed..."

"You shall face Death." Zelda, the Storekeep and the 'ANBU' looked behind and saw Impa, the Third Hokage in battle armor and 3 separate ANBUs wearing Neko, Hawk, and Dove masks respectfully. "L-Lord Third!" The storekeep spoke nervously with Hiruzen bowed to him. "At ease Batsu," the Third spoke as he look at the 'ANBU' with a scowl. "You ROOT were disbandedby my order years ago! Danzo will be explaining his actions." The ROOT agent pulled out a Kunai and before he could do anything, he got contained and restricted in what look like a Diamond. "Seems like you perfected Nayru's Love your highness," spoke Impa. Zelda smiled with a giggle as she replied. "Probably better than any of my ancestors."

The storekeep, now known as Batsu, looked at awe before he kneeled in front of her. "Thank you so much!" Zelda smiled at the praise. "How long will he stay contained?" asked the 3rd Hokage. Zelda replied, "For a good twenty minutes Lord Hokage." Hiruzen nodded as he sent the ANBU to carry the contained ROOT to Interrigation. Batsu walked up to Zelda and handed him a second Whirlpool necklace. "If I may make a request," he spoke, "please give that necklace to Naruto when you see him." Zelda nodded as Hiruzen spoke. "Naruto is currently on his way back from a mission with his sensei and teammates. Apparently he found a weapon according to early reports, some sort of sword." Impa and Zelda looked at each other with Zelda smirking. "Looks like you were right your highness," spoke Impa, "this Naruto may be the weilder of Courage." Zelda nodded as he looked at the necklace. "We'll be waiting Naruto." Hiruzen looked at the both of them with a raised eyebrow. "Why do you want Naruto?" he asked. Impa replied, "More so see and talk with him and reason? Do you know of the Triforce?"


Tale Of Courage

Path to Konoha

Team 7 and Riju were walking home unknown that the bridge was named after Naruto. The team reflected on the final day before heading out.

Flashback

Land of Waves

Day of Departure

"So what are you two planning on doing?" Naruto asked Zabuza and Haku. Team 7 and the Mist Ninjas had headed out a few hours prior to different locations. "Me and Haku may travel the nation a bit," replied Zabuza, "Then possibly help out with a war that is currently going on in Mizugakure." Haku giggled before adding "He hope to help out his old love intrest Mei and possibly get rewarded." Zabuza blushed deep that it showed on his bandages as he covered her mouth in embarrassment. "Still once everything calms down and your in the area kid, how bout a good spar, see how far you mastered your sword?" asked Zabuza holding out a fist to Naruto. The blonde nodded bumping his fist with Zabuza. "Guarantee it!" The Mist nins nodded as Zabuza activated the hidden mist jutsu and disappeared with Haku. (A/N: I do have plans on bringing them back down the road.)

"Come on Naruto," called out Kakashi, "we got ground to cover, it'll be a good number of hours before we get back home." Naruto nodded before Riju and Nabooru appeared in front of them. "Lady Nabooru! Lady Riju," spoke Sakura. Sasuke and Kakashi rose an eyebrow at the duo's arrival with Sasuke asking, "What do you two want?" Riju glared at Sasuke as Nabooru responded, "Our tribe is planning to move out and try to find a place where we can stay, but Riju humbly requested me to go with you all back to 'Konoha' as you called it and I agree, as long as the son of the White Fang agrees to it." Kakashi scratched his chin in thought thinking of the pros and cons. "Of course she can come!" Naruto exclaimed. Everyone looked at Naruto with Team 7 in a bit of surprise."Think about it Kakashi-Sensei, I still need to perfect my sword fighting skills and Riju has been teaching me well," Naruto explained. Kakashi went into thought again as Sakura bashed Naruto's head for answering fast. Sasuke went into deep thought as well but on another matter. Kakashi then nodded. "Probably a good idea, welcome to the team Riju." Riju smiled as Nabooru nodded as she looked at Naruto. "Keep her safe Hero." Naruto grumbled. "It's Naruto, but still you got it Nabooru-Sensi." Nabooru nodded as she responded, "It's Lady Nabooru now, I taught you as much as I can Riju can help finish the training." Naruto nodded as Nabooru left.

Flashback End

Riju and Sakura were having girl talk while Naruto and Sasuke were chatting. "So I noticed your change in attitude Sasuke, usually you're more to yourself and not willing to talk with others," said Naruto, "hell during the tree walking training we made it a fun challenge between the both of us." Sasuke looked at Naruto before responding. "Let's just say I had a chat with someone, and my ambition... it has changed a bit." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Ok? But who did you talk to?" Naruto asked. The last Uchiha shaked his head punching the blonde lightly. "Like I'm telling you dobe," Sasuke responded. Naruto smirked. "I'll figure it out sooner or later teme." Sasuke smirked at Naruto's response. Kakashi eye-smiled, happy to see his team getting along.

A glowing blue butterfly then landed on Naruto's nose. "Uhhh..." Naruto spoke, confused. "I was looking for a village not a person silly butterfly." Everyone looked at the dource of force seeing a young lady bout 14 years of age, with dirty blone hair tied into a double ponytail,wearing a blue dress with purple butterflies printed over it and wearing black heels. "I'm so sorry for my Goddess Butterfly, she was trying to help me get to a village but it led me to you," she spoke as she held out a finger with the butterfly crawling onto it, "but where are my manners? My ancestor's namesake would be upset a bit, my name is Agitha Aburame, descendant of the Insect Princess. Perhaps you may know of her?" Team 7 shook thier heads as Riju spoke. "I heard of your Ancestor before. Agitha the Insect Princess, later on the Insect Queen, she had assisted The Twilight Hero a bit, in exchange for finding some Golden Bugs that she had invited to a ball, she had gifted him with bigger wallets." Agitha nodded. "Yep, and she helped out the Hero of the Warriors, though from what was said, she enjoied the expierence," she replied. Sakura then spoke, "Wait did you say Aburame? Would you happen to know Shino?" The descendant nodded and responded, "Yep! He's my cousin! You see before Konoha's founding, my clan was led by my great-great Grandmother. Some of the clan had decided to leave the 'nest,' little bug humor there, and traveled from Hyrule all the to the Elemental Nations, where they found sanctuary in Konoha. But the one thing our family holds true is our love for insects. I'm actually on my way to Konoha from Hyrule to meet up with the other portion of my 'colony,' sorry more bug humor."

"Well we should introduce ourselves as well," spoke the sensei, "I am Kakahi Hatake, the three young ones are my students, blondie's Naruto Uzumaki, Pinky is Sakura Haruno, and Broody is Sasuke Uchiha. Our final companion is a Gerudo warrior by the name of Riju." Everyond bowed in respect before Agitha got close to Naruto looking at him as she was inspecting him. "Before you ask, I wondered why the Goddess Butterfly led me to you," spoke Agitha. Sasuke smirked before speaking, "Maybe Naruto has a 'Godess Blessing' or something." Agitha shook her head. "No, the Goddess Butterfly leads people to wherever they ask..." she then slapped her forehead in realization. "I had ask to find someone to get me to Konoha and I was bout to ask where it is buy guess she picked up my first question." Kakashi eye-smiled as he replied, "Well Naruto has more Konoha spirit than anyone else." Sasuke nodded in agreement as Agitha wrapped her arms around one of Naruto's as she walked forward with him, with the blonde blushing. "Lead the way!" she said, "you may find your way there with ease." Riju glared a bit which Sakura noticed. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Just why she manage to take advantage of him like that?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "How is she taking advantage and isn't Naruto a little young for you? He is thirteen." Riju rubbed the back of her head before replying to Kakashi. "Actually I am fourteen years." This shocked Sakura as she looked at herself then at Riju. 'Fourtenn years and she looks like that?!' she thought. "How can we keep up in looks when she looks like that CHA!!" spoke Inner Sakura from Sakura's mind. (A/N: Only time I'm acknowledging Inner Sakura) Riju noticed Sakura looking down and patted her back, figuring Sakura was jealous of the Gerudo Warrior's look.

Two Hours Later

"Well we are one hour away from Konoha," Kakashi spoke. "Bout time," spoke Agitha, arms still around Naruto's arm, "It's been a long trek." Naruto kept quiet as he was conversing with Fi. 'So one of my ancestors traveled through time depending if he weilded you or not?' 'Yes,'Spoke Fi into Naruto's mind, 'but because of the time event I now have 3 sets of memories 2 of which from which your ancestor succeeded and the other from when he failed so it's hard to place whuch memories are true in this time.' Naruto nodded understanding.

Suddenly they all got surrounded by a group of thieves. "Hand over your valuables if you value your lives," spoke one of the thieves. Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashu pulled out thier Kunais, Riju preped her spear and Naruto unsheathed the Master Sword all prep for battle. "Oh Dear," spoke Agitha, "I do hate to be rude but we really got to get going." the thieves chuckled. "Sorry, but you aren't going anywhere!" Agitha sighed. "Well we got to get to get going." Agitha began chanting something quietly as golden butterflies surrounded the thieves and sent them flying away. Team 7 and Riju looked at Agitha. "Something I learned, apparently my ancestor knew that as well," she responded, "let us continue now!" She took Naruto's arm again and moved forward. Sasuke looked, chuckled then spoke, "How much you want to bet by the end Naruto may not have courage to deal with women who try to get close to him?" Kakashi chuckled. "Who knows? Maybe he'll be a ladies," said Kakashi as the group continue thier trek.


Tale Of Power

Mountain Range

The sound of punching filled the air as a young man of 16 years with dark skin and red hair wearing a brown cloak was fight a man looking similar to him but with a beard as well but wearing what looked like a royal garment (A/N: Ganondorf's appearance in Twilight Princess). As the young man narrowed an attack, he sent one with a dark glow through the belly of the man. "Well done Descendent, you struck a killing blow." The young man looked at the man as the man faded away. "I don't feel like I'm strong enough yet..." he thought out loud, "I need to be stronger, to prove to those other Gerudos that I am capable of being a goodking!" The young man went into deep thought on the day he was banished.

Flashback

10 years ago

Gerudo Camp

"Geno!" spoke Nabooru, "Step Forward!" A young six-year-old boy stepped forward and bowed to the head of the Gerudos. "Yes Nabooru?" "That's Lady Nabooru to you, you dark one!" said one of the guards. "Yeild Tama!" ordered Nabooru before looking at Geno, "Geno I have been informed that you found a way to talk to your ancestors, is that true?" Geno nodded. "Indeed I have," he replied, "I actually trained with them, they are all cool, saying that one day I will be a powerful king!" Nabooru sighed. "Geno," she spoke, "we have told you multiple times that we are fine without a king." "I know because of all the bad kings of the past," Geno replied, "But I'll be different I promise." He was the whacked on the head with a staff hard from Tama. "OW!" Nabooru noticed a dark aura growing around Geno. "Tama stand down!" Nabooru ordered. Tama ignored the order as she walked towards Geno. "What makes you think you'll be a good king?" Tama asked, hitting him harder. "Your mother should have left you with you father but he disappeared and she had pity on you!" She hitted him again with her staff as Geno's aura grew more dark with Nabooru only noticing. "I'll do what she should have done long ago!" "Tama Stop!!!" Nabooru words fell on deaf ears as Tama preped her spear end to Stab Geno.

Before anyone could notice, Geno grabbed the spear glaring at Tama, his aura pitch black as it goes toward his fist. "No one... not even you... DISRESPECT MY FAMILY!!!" He punched his dark aura covered hand towards Tama, result with Tama being sent into a tree, a couple actually and everyone around noticed Tama's eyes being lifeless and a hole on her stomach area. "Pass the word!" yelled one of the guards, "Tama has been slained by one of our own!" Geno looked towards Tama then at his own fist then Nabooru with fear covering his face. "I-I didnt mean to..." he began before Nabooru held up a hand. "Head to the entrance to the camp and keep your head low," she said, "I trust most of my guards to keep your deed quiet but some of the others..." Geno nodded as he headed towards the entrance of the camp.

Several minutes in front of the camp Geno waited till Nabooru, another Gerudo and a 4 year old Gerudo. Geno hugged the Gerudo clise which she returned. "Lady Nabooru told me everything," she said, "I can't believe Tama pushed you that far..." Nabooru nodded as screams and yells filled the air. "We may not be able to keep them back," spoke Nabooru as she looked at Geno, "Geno, by under my authority, you are hereby banished from this camp for 13 years! If you ever return before the time, you shall be executed on the spot." Geno was in shock by it as the Gerudo handed him a bag. "This should last you for awhile my son," she said, "it has spare clothes, a good amount of the local currency that I may have 'borrowed' from random citizens," Nabooru raised an eyebrow as her fellow Gerudo continued, "and your blanket plus I also packed a scroll containing info bout your father if you ever find him. Please don't forget bout us." She kissed his forehead before Nabooru spoke. "Hopefully by the 13 years you'll grown, possibly to our future leader, but pleasw gain more wisdom, being leader is more than just power."

Geno nodded as he grabbed his pack but before he could move, he felt a weight on his leg and saw the 4 year old on his leg. "Please no leave big brother." Geno looked down in sadness at her. "I'm sorry Riju..." he said giving her to thier mother, "I'll be back I promise!" He then ran into the forest surrounding the camp with Riju crying shedding tears.

End Flashback

Geno preped a fire as his mind went back to the day. 'Riju, mom, Lady Nabooru, how can I be stronger when I barely feel like I am strong enough?' he thought. Ghirahim suddenly appeared next to him. "Where you been?" Geno asked. "Oh I just saved a village from a tyrannical business man." Geno smiled at Ghirahim response. "That's good. You know, it has been 10 years." Ghirahim nodded. "Yes indeed," the demon lord nodded, "10 years since our first meeting and I begun training you. By the way I hve great news, I found the Courage weilder. He lives in Konohagakure." Geno perked up. "Great! We must meet up with him, maybe he can help me get stronger!" Let's move!" After Geno packed up he began treking downwards with Ghirahim following. 'Soon you will be done with your usage Geno,' thought the demon lord, 'then my master will take your Triforce piece for his own.' Geno and Ghirahim reached the bottom in a few minutes as thd male Gerudo look at the triangle at his hand. 'I'll be stronger,' he thought, 'You better help me, and we better find the Wisdom weilder too, all three of us will be inviciblre together.'


And that ends this chapter! I already got plans for the next chapter and let me tell you it will be another Tales Chapter, and before anyond ask, Geno is Ganondorf's descendant but he is an antihero more than evil. He will have a bit of a redemption arc down the road. But we are getting close to the start of my favorite arc: the Chunin Exams. But till then Ajohrendt out!
