This chapter is a filler
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Legends of Zelda
When Ronin was young and lived in Hyrule there would be a giant feast on July 15th for the destruction of Ganondorf. Every year all the men and their sons went out to hunt the seasonal giant boar and this year Volga was taking Ronin.
"It's hot out here dad, can we just use our magic to hunt the boar?" Ronin asked in a matter-of-fact tone.
"We can't Ronin, we like all of the men and boys around you have to hunt it old fashioned. Volga claimed as he patted Ronin on the head. Then a man whispered in Volga's ear.
"Volga let's make him catch the boar by himself. We have a week until the boar is due and it would be funny to have him do it." The man whispered as he faced Ronin. "It would be good training for him and would teach him to be a man," he said "And, it would be funny." Volga considered his options and chose to send hisson out to find and retrieve the boar.
"Ronin you are going to catch the boar by yourself." Volga said as he dismissed the man. "You need the training by that I mean, you rely on your magic to much."
"Father I have the strongest magical power in this group, I could kill an army with one spark." Ronin countered as the other boys glared at him. "You want to fight?"
"Yeah because you think you're so tough so we are going to take you down." Hunter said as he and the other boys charged at Ronin. Ronin sidestepped every attack coming his way. He then punched everyone who was attacking with abnormal strength. Everyone fell to the floor.
"Fine I'll find the boar and bring it home by the end of the week. I need a horse to travel through." Ronin replied as he stared at his father.
"No you don't, you're going on foot." Volga declared as he sent his son off into the wilderness.
"Why can't any of the boys come with me?" Ronin questioned as he turned to his father
"You said it yourself you're better than all of them, so you are doing this on your own." Volga countered as he and the rest of the people turned and walked away.
"Fine. I'll go, I'll find the boar and become the best capturer ever!" Ronin roared into the forest as he dashed straight for it.
(With Volga)
"I'm back." Volga announced when got home.
"Hi honey." Impa looked around. "Where's Ronin?"
"He's hunting the boar by himself. He said he was stronger than everyone else so he's going to prove it." Volga laughed as he sat in a chair and picked up a book.
"Honey! Why did you do that! I mean he has the curse, but he's still our son!" Impa yelled as she slapped Volga who was surprised that Impa actually hit him. "I going to find him!" Impa rushed out the house.
(With Ronin)
The forest was filled with beast and other strong animals, but he was running away from the largest boar he has ever seen. He turned and looked as the boar caught up to him. Then he saw something fly over his head. Then the thing jumped straight at him.
"AHH!" Ronin cried as the animal landed next to him, but when he looked up it was just his mother with her traditional huge blade. She slashed and killed the boar.
"Ronin you're ok!" she exclaimed as she hugged him. He nodded "See what happens when you brag?" Impa explained as she put her extremely damaged son on her back and dragged the boar. They walked to a campsite.
"Ronin you are spending this week here because this is not the boar you've been looking for.
"What! That boar is huge though!" Ronin yelled as Impa put the boar over the fire.
"I know you haven't been to the festival before, but the boar is usually the size of a dragon." Impa explained as she looked up. For the first time Ronin seemed uneager to adventure into the midst of life.
"I never went to a festival because of my curse, right?" Ronin asked as his mother looked at him with a surprised look on her face. "I heard you and father talking about the other day."
"You'll have to do this on you own though." Impa said ignoring Ronin as she held out her hand which glowed black and green. She placed her hand on the dirt which darkened from her touch. She lifted her hand which revealed a black scythe engraved in green symbols from both the sheikhian and dragonkin tribes.
"Here, my son this weapon that will forever be a symbol that represents you, use it well." Impa advised as she handed the weapon to him. Ronin held the scythe in his hands.
"I'll go, but I will prove that I am not evil." Ronin declared as he faced the forest again. He walked into the forest disappearing from sight.
( With Volga )
Volga walked down the stone roads of Hyrule and was being congratulated for getting rid of Ronin for the week. Then he heard something. He turned and was met with a devastating punch to his face. He fell to the ground and looked up. He saw a heart-broken and enraged Impa. Impa grabbed Volga and dragged him in their house. She slammed the door inches from his face.
"Y..you hurt him!" Impa cried as she fell to the floor.
"Wha.. hurt who?" Volga asked as he picked Impa up. She backed away.
"You hurt Ronin!" Impa yelled as she turned her back on him. (I know in the first chapter he was mistreated but that was later in his life.)
"You want me to do something about it?" Volga asked impatiently.
"You sent our son to catch a boar the size of a dragon! Our son!" Impa yelled
"What? I wanted him to catch a good sized boar!" Volga announced as he headed for the door.
"Where are you going!?" Impa nearly shouted as she grabbed his arm.
"It's gambling night at the palace remember?" Volga said thinking he was free.
"You're not going anywhere until you find and apologize to your son." Impa demanded.
(With Ronin)
Ronin was moving through the brush and trees in confusion.
"Where's the lair of that boar?" Ronin asked himself then, out of the bushes a giant boar jumped at him. Ronin rolled out of the way.
"Found it." he muttered to himself. Ronin ran at the boar with his scythe in hand the boar whipped its head to the side slashing Ronin's chest with it's tusks and smacking him into the trees. When Ronin got up he put his hand on his chest and felt something warm. When he looked down he saw his hand was covered in blood. That was the last thing he saw before blacking out. He woke up back at his camp. He felt a familiar presence nearby. He rolled over.
"Dad…" Ronin said weakly as Volga sat next to him with a hardened face.
"Don't think that I did this on my own. Your mother made me find you." Volga said half-heartedly as he stood and feed Ronin some pills.
"You're the meanest bastard to treat me wrong!" Ronin yelled as he was immediately meet with a powerful slap. He looked at his father more broken and misunderstood than his mother. "I never asked to bare this curse, but it happened and I have been mistreated, deceived and doubted my entire life." Ronin sobbed as his father's face softened.
"I went out and found the boar for the festival that I never went to. I 'apparently' serve everyone in Hyrule in exchange for my life." Ronin claimed as he cried. "The only person that was ever nice to me was mom, and that was when YOU weren't picking on me. I want to know what it feels like to truly be loved dad is it really too much to ask for?" Volga looked at the child, his child. He picked the boy up and walked towards Hyrule. Ronin broke free.
"I am going to kill that boar, because I want to prove to everyone that I am really a powerful person without this curse!" Ronin grabbed the scythe of the ground and ran into the trees. Volga let him.
"I only tease you so you can get stronger! That's why I let the older boys beat you when you were little! Look at you now, they can't beat you! Because of me!" Volga started but Ronin was too far away to hear. Volga fell to his knees.
"Your mother didn't make me come, I did." he whispered to himself.
(With Ronin)
Ronin ran through the forest.
"I'll show him, I'll show them all!" as he said this his voice got deeper and deeper. Then he transformed into a small green dragon. He flew around until he found the boar resting in a clearing. "Now's my chance." Ronin dove towards the boar, teeth bared and claws extended. He landed on top of the boar the transformed back into his human self. Ronin raised his scythe and impaled the boar's head. It awoke and threw Ronin of it's back. Ronin landed on the top of a tree. He recoiled and jumped out the tree and breathed cursed flames from his mouth. The flames enveloped the boar, killing it but not cooking it.
Ronin stared up at his scythe he decided to get it later. He turned into a dragon to have the strength to bring it back to the city.
(With Volga and Impa)
When Volga heard the inevitable crash of the boar's mighty wrath he returned to the city and informed his wife of the news. Impa was devastated that Ronin refused to go home and died. The two informed King Link of the news and held a memorial service that same day. While everyone payed their respects, (Yeah right) and mourned the loss. Then the people of Hyrule heard the faint flapping of wings. Everyone turned and saw a green dragon with a humongous boar in its claws. It dropped the boar and turned into Ronin who landed on the side of the boar.
"Don't act like you cared about me!" Ronin yelled weakly as everyone faced the boy. "Enjoy your stupid festival." He walked forwards, everyone moved except Link, Zelda and their daughter Amelia. "Get out of my way, I'm done with you so called 'perfect' city."
Ronin hardly walked five feet when he collapsed. Impa ran towards him and picked him up. She walked away with her son in her arms. All the citizens then turned and stared at Volga who seemed to be responsible for all the propaganda.
"Who cares for the kid? He bares the curse." a man said somewhere in the crowd.
"Yeah we should just have the feast now!" Another man cried. Eventually the shouts became arguments.
"Halt!" Link roar at the crowd. "Do you have no respect! He is only a child!"
"Yeah, a child that carries Infurgus, the death dragon!" A woman countered.
"I could care less if he carried Ganondorf himself, he is still part of this city, so we shall prepare the boar while the child gets medical help." Link announced to the crowd.
(With Impa)
Ronin was laying on a bed beside her as she desperately tried to heal her son. There was no clear signs of healing in his body. She put her palm on his chest which caused Ronin to cough up blood. She placed her hand on top of his heart. When she felt no pulse Volga walked in the room.
"What's going on." Volga asked. Impa looked up eyes wide and watery.
"Ronin doesn't have pulse! We need to get him to a hospital!" Impa cried as she picked up Ronin again. Volga blocked her path.
"I can revive him here. Trust me." Volga said as he grabbed his son from his wife's arms. He placed Ronin back on the bed. He pulled of his helmet revealing short, wavy blond hair with his pale red eyes.
Volga closed his eyes and placed his hand on Ronin's chest. A dim red glow illuminated from Ronin's chest. Ronin's move just a little.
"I will take awhile for him to wake up, but he will." Volga claimed as he sat beside Impa, who was amazed of his new found ability. Impa place her hand back on top of Ronim's chest. She now felt a small pulse.
"He knows now." Volga said openly as he hugged Impa.
"He already told me. Are you sure this will work?" Impa asked as she hugged back. Volga kissed Impa. "I would never lie to you, honey." Volga assured. "I really love you."
(10 days later)
Ronin stirred and rolled around the bed. He felt a warm and loving presence. He rolled over to find his father sleeping next to him with an arm extended over him.
"Dad…" Ronin began. Volga woke up and faced the boy in a warm smile.
"It's ok, you didn't miss the festival." Volga said sleepily. Impa walked in the room.
"Ronin! You're awake." Impa said as she embraced him. Then there was a knock at the door. Impa picked up Ronin and set him on the floor. They walked to the door and opened it, they found Link, Zelda and Amelia in fancy clothes.
"It seems that Ronin is awake. Good thing too, because the boar has just been finished cooking. Link said. Ronin looked at his mother
"I don't have any fancy clothes." Ronin explained as he sat in a chair. "I am extremely hungry and I can smell the deliciousness." Ronin drooled as everyone questioningly stared at him.
"You may come to the castle to pick up a suit." Link said. "Are you in the academy?"
"No I am not, mom." Ronin claimed as he stared at his mother as his father stumbled into the room.
"Good morning your majesty." Volga said as he bowed to them. "Ronin bow to them."
"No one in this city deserves my respects, no matter who high and mighty they are." Ronin protested as he exited the house.
"Where are you going?" Zelda asked as she grabbed the boy. Ronin disappeared from sight.
(Present)
Ronin stared wide-eyed at the boar he was ordered to kill on a mission with his team. Hinata, Naruto and Kurenai watched the boy as they backed away.
"NEVER AGAIN!" Ronin yelled as he summoned his scythe and started hacking at it with all his might. Soon the boar was completely eradicated from existence.
Sorry it took so long I had… things going on see you in the next chapter!
