Hey guys Ajohrendt here again for a new chapter! Like last chapter this will feature short stories that will connect to the main story, but instead of three there will be four also a small intro section before the stories will be told, and also before we begin I saw the reviews and I am shocked with love Geno has! I thought people would snap at me but the fact you guys love him and his back story made me happy. I just had that thought flowing through my head. Like "How would the next weilder of Power be if he was actually good?" and the reactions!! I am so happy!!! Thank you so much. Unfortunately Geno won't be back until before/after the Chunin Exams Finals, haven't decided yet, so please hold on, but for right now, TIME FOR THE CHAPTER! I can't stress this enough because as always I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR THE LEGEND OF ZELDA FRANCHISE!!!
Konoha Entrance
Team 7, Riju and Agitha managed to check in with the gatekeepers as Naruto stretched. "Man it's great to be back in Konoha!" Kakashi gave an eye smile to Naruto. "Well it has been about 3 weeks," Kakashi noted. Sakura and Sasuke nodded. Riju then went to Naruto with a smile. "How bout giving me a tour of your home Naruto?" the blonde blushed as he noticed the Gerudo next to him but thankfully his sensei came to the rescue. "Actually Riju," the son of the White Fang spoke, "I need you to come with me to the Hokage's office for the report." Sakura then spoke in curiosity: "Aren't we suppose to go with you?" Kakashi shook his head. "Under normal circumstances yes, but, after a lot of things happening you three may be in the office for too long," he replied, "I'll send out a Shadow Clone with your pays, expect a big payout because of the bumped up rank." Kakashi then waved as he Shushined away with Riju before she could say a word, leaving Team 7 and Agitha by themselves. "So what now?" Sakura asked. Sasuke walked away from the group, angering Naruto a bit. "Where you going Teme?" asked the blonde. "Home," he replied, "apparently distant cousins of mine decided to make themselves known and are planning a visit. Just hope they haven't caused any trouble if they arrived early." And with that, Sasuke was on his way.
Sakura looked at Agitha in curiosity. "Do you know the way to your clans' grounds?" she asked. Agitha nodded. "Of course," she replied, "and don't worry I'll see you both around till after the Chunin Exams!" She then ran off leaving the last two members of Team 7 to look at each other. "Chunin Exam?" asked Naruto. Sakura pondered a bit before remembering. "Oh yeah," she exclaimed, "the Chunin Exams are tests where qualified Genins have a chance to prove to become Chunin." Naruto chuckled. "I'm sure you, me and Sasuke would pass it with ease huh Sakura," Naruto said with a smile. Sakura placed a hand on her chin in thought. 'Would we though?,' she thought, 'Both Naruto and Sasuke have brawn while I only have my smarts...' The pinkette then noticed Naruto walking away. "Where you going?!" she practically screamed. "Ichiraiku's, where else?" Naruto replied, '"I can't train on an empty stomach. See you later Sakura." Naruto then headed on his way leaving Sakura, who sighed. "I better get home myself," she said before heading on her way herself.
Chapter 6
Tales of Team Seven
Tale of the Last Uchiha
Pathway to the Uchiha Compund
Sasuke was currently heading on his way home. The shopkeeps were greeting him and Sasuke returned the greeting with a small smile and a wave. He had been thinking to a conversation he had in his mind with someone who had claimed to be a goddess and wondered if it was all true.
Flashback
After Sasuke was pushed back by the barrier of Hero's Forest
Sasuke's Mind
Sasuke looked around the area that was his mind and saw a woman with light blonde hair and light blue eyes wearing a golden gown sipping at tea. "Who are you?!" Sasuke asked, "where are we?" The women just smiled and motioned toward an empty sear with a teacup in front of it. "Please sit," the woman spoke, "and all will be explained." The last Uchiha was a bit hesitant but complied keeping an eye on the woman. After he sat down, she poured him a cup. "One lump or two?" she asked. Sasuke looked at the cup then to her and back to a cup then back to her. "One please." She smiled and placed a lump of sugar into the cup.
"So you asked me who I was?" the woman asked with Sasuke nodded, who took a small sip from his cup. "I am Hylia, head Goddess of Hyrule." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that. " 'Hyrule?' " he asked. Hylia nodded. "Yes, it is a distant land," she replied, "far away from the Elemental Nations." Sasuke raised an eyebrow again before he asked: "What is a goddess of a distant land want with me or with the Elemental Nations?" She smiled nodding. "There was the question I was waiting for," she then stood, and waved her hand showin pictures of young blonde men, each wearing a green tunic and a green cap minus two. One of which wearing a train conductor's outfit and the other wearing what looks to be blue no sleeve tunic. Sasuke looked at them with a raised eyebrow. "And these are...?" "Naruto's past lives," Hylia answered Sasuke's question.
Sasuke growled a bit. "So... you want to talk about the dobe." Hylia frowned a bit as the pictures disappear. "Your heart has been shrouded in darkness for too long, especially in one so young." Hylia leaned toward Sasuke and gently placed a hand over his chest. "H-hey!" Sasuke exclaimed, "What are you...?" Before he could finish a bright ray of light appeared throughout his body before it disappeared. Sasuke was confused as stray tears began to fall before Hylia hugged him close like a mother holding a child. "I'm sorry you had to go through what you did," Spoke Hylia gently stroking the last Uchiha's hair. "W-What happened?" he asked, confused on what's going on, wiping away his tears. "Lady Hylia purified your heart." Sasuke look toward the voice and noticed a woman in all red clothing with red hair.
"Who are you?" Sasuke asked. The redhead smiled and held out her hand. "Din," she replied, "nice to meet ya Cousin" Sasuke looked at her curiously before looking at Hylia. "Din and the other two Hyrulian Goddesses, Farore and Nayru," she said, "will be arriving at your compound acting as your distant cousins." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the Goddess. "Why should I be expecting them?" he asked. Hylia just smiled and rubbed Sasuke's head gently. "All will reveal itself in time, now I believe it's time to wake up." As soon as Hylia said that, the world around Sasuke began to glow. Sasuke looked at the two Goddesses as Din waved. "See you back in Konoha!"
Flashback End
Sasuke shook his head as he arrived at the Uchiha compound noticing three woman at the front door, the first was tanned skinned with red hair wearing a red dancer outfit (A/N: Din's Oracle Outfit), the second was paled skin with blue hair wearing a light blue dress with some turquoise on the top of it (A/N: Nayru's Oracle Outfit) and the third was slightly tanned with Green hair, which looked to be tied into two giant buns, wearing a green dress with lime green highlights. (A/N: Farore's Oracle Outfit) The redhead noticed the approaching Uchiha and waved at him. "There you are Cous!" she called. Sasuke smirked as replied, "Hello... Din."
Tale of the Cherry Blossom
Sakura was currently walking down the street to her home. 'I wish I knew how I can help benefit my team,' she thought, ' mean, I know I'm the best at chakra control but still...' "Hey forehead!" Sakura looked toward the voice and saw her frienime (a/n: sorry if Misspelled) Ino Yamaka. "I heard you came back on your big mission," she said. The pinkette smiled at the blonde. "Yes I did Ino Pig," Sakura replied, "and it was actually upgraded to a B-A rank, the pay will be determine the rank." Ino's jaw dropped after hearing that. "Details Now!" spoke Ino. Sakura giggled as she walked away. "We can talk on the way home." Sakura spoke as Ino followed.
5 Minutes Later
"So let me get this straight," spoke Ino, "Naruto found this sword, managed to fight a strong Nuke-Nin, got some training from these powerful warriors, and Sasuke-Kun got nothing?!" "Well," spoke Sakura, "Sasuke told me he awakened his family's eyes." Ino grumbled. "Still, Sasuke is leagues above Naruto, he's deadlast in our class Sakura, how did he become more popular huh?" Sakura shook her head not knowing as a voice spoke. "Excuse me, but did you say Naruto?" Both Genin looked over and saw a girl about thier age in a white dress and a purple necklace. But what caught Sakura off guard was the 3 yellow triangles on the sleeve. 'That's the Triforce,' she thought, 'how does she...' Her thoughts were interupted by Ino. "Yeah we said Naruto," spoke the blonde, "who's asking?" The girl bowed slightly before answering. "I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule," she responded with a smile, "It's nice to meet you both."
Ino paled before backing away, thinking she offended the princess. "Well as much as I wanna chat more, I got to... help my mom at the shop," she said before sprinting, "Later Sakura!" Sakura sighed as Zelda spoke, "Sakura is your name?" The pinkette nodded as the Princess continued, "Cherry Blossom, it suits you to be honest." Sakura looked at the Princess before speaking. "Sorry if this sounds rude but I noticed your sleeve, it bears a certain symbol I heard about while on my mission." Zelda motion to the triangles on the sleeve with Sakura nodding. "So you heard about the Triforce?" the Princess asked. Sakura nodded again. "Naruto, my teammate," said Sakura, "has a triangle mark in the same position as the one in the bottom right." Zelda gasped before whispering, "I knew it." She then looked at the Pinkette before asking, "Do you know where he lives? I need to meet him." Sakura sighed. "Sorry your highness, but no I don't..."
Zelda looked at Sakura raising an eyebrow a bit. "Something on your mind I am reckoning?" she asked the Pinkette. Sakura nodded before responding. "I'm just thinking on how I benefit my team, I mean both of my other teammates, including Naruto, have the strength to take on opponents while I am the best with my chakra control and that's it..." Zelda scratched her chin in thought before asking, "What were your grades in your academy if I may ask?" Sakura raised an eyebrow before responding, "Highest marks compared to everyone else in my class, why..." "There!" interupted Zelda, "that is your strength! Your wisdom!" Sakura tilted her head as Zelda explained. "When it comes to the battle field, having strength is good, but going into battle without a proper plan could lead into a disaster." Sakura thought on it before responding. "So you are saying my brain is a scale on how much strength can be used in a fight, but also on where it can be used." Zelda nodded. "Sort of," spoke Zelda, "but also you can also find a way to truly make a plan incase you have to do the fighting." Sakura nodded as Zelda continued, "Your teammates are the brawn, but you are the brain to keep them in check, you may think that you aren't benefitting, but in the right situation, you could be the best in your team." Sakura smiled with Zelda returning the smile. "Thank you your highness," spoke Sakura, "if there is anything I can do to repay you.." Zelda smiled before responding, "A tour of the village would be nice." Sakura nodded before realizing, "If we look around during the tour..." "We may find Naruto!" Zelda finished. Sakura nodded before beginning to show the Princess of Hyrule around the Village.
Tale of White Fang Jr.
Hokage Office
Kakashi arrived in the Hokage's office with Riju, both seeing 11 versions of the Third Hokage with one talking to a newcomer. Kakashi cleared his throat getting the attention of Lord Third. "Ah Kakashi," spoke the Hokage, "arrived so soon," he looked over and saw Riju, "and I see you brought a guest too." Kakashi looked over at the stranger in the room and narrowed his visable eye a bit. "So do you Lord Third." Hiruzen, the name of the Hokage, cleared his throat before responding. "Yes, this," he motioned to the newcomer, "is Impa. She along with Princess Zelda are here to watch the upcoming Chunin Exams, speaking of which we will talk about later." Kakashi nodded as he motioned to Riju. "This Lord Hokage is Riju," spoke the son of the White Fang, "she helped trained Naruto with sword arts after meeting the tribe she was in." Riju nodded as Impa spoke. "Makes sense for the tribe of former thieves to help out a young one with basic sword play." Riju glared and was about to retort before Kakashi held up a hand silencing her before speaking. "Before Naruto used the Master Sword, he managed to hold his own against Zabuza Momochi, the Kiri Nuke-Nin," he spoked as Impa's eyes widened a bit as Kakashi continued, "and after a few days of training, he managed to use that knowledge against someone who was more skilled in the sword and came up victorious." Riju nodded in agreement before speaking. "Yeah and I bet he can whoop your Sheikah ass!" Impa glared at the Gerudo warrior before reaching back and grabs the hilt of her weapon.
"You should bite your tongue child," Impa said. Riju was about to retort but noticed Kakashi's eye, leaving no room for arguement. Hiruzen cleared his throat to cut the tension. "And what be her reason for being here Kakashi?" he asked. The son of the White Fang looked at the Hokage and replied. "The leader of the tribe came to us as we were leaving the Wave Village and asked for Riju to join us. Naruto," he chuckled, "the energyball that he is, quickly answered for me saying Riju can help finish his sword training. I may not be a Kenjutsu master but I do agree Riju would be a huge help for Naruto's training." Riju beamed before Impa cleared her throat. "If it's sword training the boy needs," she said, "then allow me to train him." The Gerudo glared as Kakashi once again held up his hand to stop Riju before she accidentally said something she'll regret. Riju grumbled at being treated like a child as the Jonin spoke. "As much I am happy to let you torture my blonde haired Genin," Riju glared a bit as Kakashi continued, "but I have final say over who should teach him." Kakashi looked over Impa's stance noticing she's still grabbing the hilt of her weapon. "And from what it looks like," he said, "you are the strict type of teacher that tries to run thier student down to mere exhaustion. Riju and Lady Nabooru, from what I saw were also strict but yet at the same time showed care and managed to help out with what he's doing wrong. So I say... you can teach, but wait for another 3 years when he has matured a bit, he does act out at times."
Impa silently looked at Kakashi then at Riju before back at Kakashi before sighing. "I understand," she said heading to the door only to stop next to Kakashi, not looking at him with Kakashi not looking at Impa. "Just so you know, I will be assisting all the Proctors, so if your student does enter," she said before walking to the door and exiting, "I will not go easy, Hero or not." Impa closed the door as she left as Riju looked at Kakashi. "You alright?" she asked. The sensei looked at the Gerudo with an eyesmile. "I'm fine Riju, why wouldn't I be?" Riju facefaulted at the bluntness at the fact his student was just threatened and brushed it off like it was nothing and was gonna respond till the Hokage cleared his throat. "Kakashi," he said, "I believe you and Miss Riju here were gonna report on the mission." Kakashi rubbed his head chuckling. "I hope you enjoy long stories Lord Hokage." Hiruzen placed his hands under his chin with a smile.
Tale of the Jinchuriki
Ichiraiku Ramen
Naruto had finished telling Teuchi, the owner of the ramen shop and his daughter Ayame bout his with mission, after his 6th bowl of ramen, with Ayame's jaw dropped in surprise. "You survived," she said, "against an S-Ranked Nukenin?! Along with that, you befriended him and his daughter-figure?!" Teuchi chuckled. "This proves how unpredictable you can be Naruto," he said. Naruto nodded with a smile.
"There you are Naruto," spoke a voice. Naruto turned and saw his former classmate and fellow Genin: Shikamaru Nara. "Oh hey Shikamaru!" said Naruto with a smile, "What's going on?" Shikamaru sighed as he rubbed the back of his own head. "My father requested for you for some reason," he said with Naruto tilting his head in confusion. "Any reason why?" Shikamaru shook his head to the blonde's question. "Wish I knew, but i wish I knew. So come on." Naruto nodded before following Shikamaru with Fi in silence. 'Why does the energy coming from your friend feel so familiar Naruto?' Fi asked from the sword. 'Wish I knew,' Naruto thought-spoke to the sword spirit, 'but maybe it could deal with his family techniques, similar to Agetha and all of her family bug techniques?' Fi contemplated it as the blonde followed Shikamaru, unknowingly missing Zelda and Sakura who entered Ichiraiku.
20 Minutes Later
Nara Residence
"Dad!" called out Shikamaru, as he and Naruto entered the residence "we're back." Naruto looked around as an older version of Shikamaru, Shikaku Nara. "Welcome home Shikamaru, and welcome Naruto," spoke the clan head till he noticed the sword Naruto had on him. "She was right..." he said. "She who dad?" asked Shikamaru. Shikaku looked at his son then at Naruto before addressing both. "Follow me you two." The two genin confused shrugged with a mumble of "what a drag" from Shikamaru before following Shikaku to a hidden room.
"Dad," spoke Shikamaru, "what is this room?" Both Genin looked around and saw strange artifacts including a Boomerang with a Wing carved into one of the ends, a giant metal ball that was on a chain, and two sets of claw. "Our family history," Shikaku replied. Both Naruto and Shikamaru were even more confused till Fi spoke to the blonde. 'Naruto!' she spoke, 'These artifacts, I may not have been fully awake to see the events but these items were used by the Hero of Twilight!' Naruto's eyes widened shouting unexpectedly, "SAY WHAT?!?!" In the middle of the room sat a mirror, which began to glow. "She's calling," spoke Shikaku, "Naruto, Shikamaru, you both talk with her." He then left the room leaving the two genin. "Troublesome," spoke Shikamaru, "who does dad want us to talk to?" Naruto shrugged as a feminine voice spoke. "That would be me young Nara." Both Genin froze before turning thier heads towards the mirror. In the mirror, they saw a woman with light blue skin and fire red hair, wearing a black cloak/cape combo, with a bright turquoise color on the inside plus a black top and black skirt with a weird patterns etched on it. "Who the hell?" asked Shikamaru. The woman smirked a bit. "I am Midna," she spoke, "The Twilight Princess." Naruto's eyes widened again. "No way..." he said in shock.
Shikamaru looked at Midna before addressing her. " 'Twilight Princess?' sorry I find it a bit hard to believe that." Midna's smirk died a bit before waving her hand. Suddenly Shikamaru's own shadow began crawling up his body constricting him. "WHAT THE HELL?!" he shouted. Naruto pulled out the Master Sword before pointing it at Midna. "Let go of my friend now!" Midna gasped seeing the Master Sword. "So you are him... more so his descendant..." she said before waving her hand again, causing Shikamaru's shadow letting go of the pineapple shaped hair genin as he took breaths. "Troublesome..." spoke Shikamaru as Midna shook her head. Naruto sheathed the sword away before checking on Shikamaru then looks at Midna. "How in the hell...?" he began till Midna held up a hand to silence him. "Your questions shall be answered later Hero," she said. "It's Naruto, not Hero." spoke the blonde. Midna nodded. "Still it is an honor to meet Link's descendant." Naruto nodded knowing she was refrencing the Hero of Twilight. Shikamaru was confused on the Hero talk but pushed it to the side since he had a major question in mind. "How in the hell did you control my shadow?!"
Midna closed her eyes before speaking. "It started after the Hero of Twilight defeated the evil King Ganondorf..." she began with Naruto and Shikamaru listening, "after I returned to the realm of Twilight, the place where I am currently at right now, I shattered the Mirror of Twilight to ensure no one will uses it's power for evil like that traitorous Zant did. But little did I know one of my followers was left behind, a young woman who had a gift to being ok in the world's light despite being of civillian power." Naruto tilted his head. "What?" he asked, "Can you not survive in the light with a low power?" Midna nodded. "Yes," she responded, "when I was transformed into an Imp by Zant, I didn't have enough strength in me to survive in the Light so I hid as part of Link's shadow." Naruto nodded in understanding remembering Fi telling him the Hero of Twilight's tale. "My follower gathered a good amount of pieces to form this mirror here," Midna continued her tale, "to communicate with me, knowing she didn't have a true way back, but before long, she settled with Kuzo Nara." "The founder of the Nara Clan.." spoke Shikamaru in shock(A/N: I can't find any info on who founded the Nara clan). Midna nodded as she continued. "Before long she introduced him to me and I blessed him and all of his family with the ability to control thier shadows. To avoid questioning, the Nara clan said it was a Yin Release technique. Luckily, the other shinobi accepted it."
"So what has that to do with me?" asked Shikamaru. "Because it's full time I gave you the Twilight Blessing," she replied. "'Twilight Blessing?' What's that?" asked Naruto. Midna just smiled as two shadow tendrils snuck around as the tips touched thier forehead. Both boys froze in place before the tendril retracted from Shikamaru. "Whoa," he said, "why do I feel... stronger?" "That was the Twilight's Blessing young Nara," replied Midna. Shikamaru then noticed Naruto frozen in place. "Is Naruto ok?" he said, worried for his blonde friend. Midna began to look worried herself. "This hasn't happened before..." she said, "something must be happening in his mind."
Naruto's Mindscape
After the Tendril Touched Naruto's Forehead
Naruto looked around at what looked like a sewer before noticing a giant gate in front of him. He walked forward to the gate but was stopped by a giggle. "I wouldn't go that way if I were you." Naruto looked at where the voice was coming from and saw what looked like a younger Midna floating but she looked like an Imp. "Midna?" he asked. "Close," she spoke floating closer to Naruto sitting on his shoulder, "I'm more so an embodiment of her power, since you are Linky's Descendant, she thought to give you a bit of a blessing too." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "As much as I'm greatful, but still," he begun, "why does she..." "
"It's obvious," spoke a voice from the cage, "Because the little imp had a damn crush on your ancestor." The Imp Midna blushed deep at the reveal as the denizen of the cage revealed himself, A giant orange fox with blood red eyes, with nine tails swirling behind it, the Kyuubi No Kitsune. "So..." spoke Naruto, "This is my mind..." The Kyuubi nodded. "And about time you visited me kit." spoke the fox growling a bit, "I was beginning to expect you'll never show." Midna then flew up the cage woth a pout "How in Hylia's name did you know I had a crush on him?!" she asked. The fox chuckled. "You could thank the sword's spirit on that," he said, "She has seen it all." Midna pouted with a blush before Naruto spoke. "So you hear everything?" The Fox nodded. "They are intriguing legends, especially the Hero of Time story," he poke, "To think, multiple timelines in her mind and it be hard to place it all." "'Hero of Time?' I thought that was just a myth!" Spoke Midna. "No," Naruto spoke, "a legend." The fox nodded as he spoke, "I think I should repay her for telling you all the legends, kit, when you get out, try powering the sword with as much Chakra as you can without exhausting yourself, it should help that spirit get her form back." Naruto's jaw dropped hearing that before asking, "Why though?" "Being sealed in you has become quite boring during the 13 years so the stories did help out."
Naruto nodded as Midna cleared her throat. "Now that we got that out of the way," she spoke, "I should be giving you the Twilight Blessing now." Midna began speaking an ancient language as Naruto felt his spirit and mind become stronger. "Whoa, that felt amazing!" he said, "Thanks your highness." Midna giggled before sitting on his shoulder. "You're very welcome," she said, "Before you ask, I'm actually gonna hang around here, heck I may try to get along with Foxy over there." The Kyuubi growled a bit with Naruto nodding as Naruto slowly began to fade. "Your body is waking up kit, try not to get yourself killed," spoke the fox. Naruto nodded before Midna kissed him before Naruto completely disappeared. "Hehehe!" she giggled, "I was blondie's first kiss! Ha! i beat my full powered self to getting first kiss!" The fox chuckled, "Actually, the kit's first kiss was an accidental one to the last Uchiha, and here's the thing... it was a he." Midna's eyes widened before screaming, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!"
Nara Estate
Now
Naruto shook his head as he feel his consciousness coming back to him. "Naruto!" yelled Shikamaru, "you alright man?" Naruto nodded, "Yeah, my whole mind and spirit feel stronger now." Shikamaru shook his head mumbling, "What a drag.." Midna smiled from the Mirror. "I do hope the portion that stays in your mind won't cause too much trouble," she said. Naruto nodded, "It should be no problem!" he said before remembering something. Naruto pulled out the Master Sword and closes his eyes as the feeling of Chakra surrounded the room. The sword glew bright until, in a flash, a feminine figure came out of the sword, startling the Twilight Princess and the Nara Heir. She looked like she was made of glass, especially her outfit. Her skin was a sky blue color and wore a purple dress and a large Poncho that had skyblue on one side and a dark purple on the other. She wore boots with an emerald accent surrounding it. She looked straight at Naruto, who noticied it was the same as her skin and is pupiless. "Thank you Mas- I mean Naruto," she spoke with a smile, "You kept your promise." Naruto nodded, ignoring the looks given to him from Shikamaru and Midna. "Glad I could help Fi."
Boom! Fi got her form back! I introduced the Kyuubi into the story! I made Sasuke not darkhearted! I am making Sakura useful! Plus Midna is now a permanent part of the story being in Naruto's mind! I think I should give myself a PROMOTION! Sorry, but in all seriousness, I am glad I manage to set up some main points in the story that should help the experience. Next MAIN chapter will be the Chunin Exams start! Just hope it won't take long, but next time we are going omake since I need to plan out some things, especially since I have Impa as part of the Chunin watchpeople. Still, hope it won't take me too long, until next time, AJOHRENDT OUT!
