Chapter 14

Getting to Know

I don't own Naruto and Legend of Zelda

Ino went through a whole lecture about chakra until she started to think that Ren didn't have any chakra in his body.

"I think we need some help from Hinata." Naruto said. "I'll go get her." Naruto ran off. Ren looked at Ino. "Why would we need Hinata?" Suddenly Ino realized why Naruto wanted to get her.

"Because she can see your chakra." She said. Soon Naruto returned with Hinata. "So what you need to do is find out if he has chakra or not." Naruto explained. Hinata nodded. She made a hand sign. "Bayugan!" She looked at Ren and gasped.

"What? Does he not have chakra?" Ino asked. Hinata shook her head. "All of his chakra is in his sword," Naruto's eyes widened. "And is being constantly sucked out of his body." Ren's eyes narrowed you always have to ruin everything don't you? He thought.

"If I didn't, I would have nothing else to do" Malakite replied.

"So I need to try to take back my chakra?" Ren asked. Hinata nodded. Ren started to take his chakra back.

"It's working." Hinata said. Ren could feel it now the chakra. "Now try to do shadow clone jutsu." Naruto said. Ren made hand signs, "Shadow clone jutsu!" in a poof of smoke a clone appeared beside him.

"I did it!" Ren exclaimed. The clone looked around. "Now you need to practice more." Ino said.

(with Faron)

Faron stood next to his team members Gori and Nia. "Did you hear we were going to get a C ranked mission?" Nia whispered to Gori. She didn't even look at Faron. For some reason Faron didn't feel like they liked him. They barely looked at him and when they did it was glares and they never talked to him.

Faron looked at the sky, Kikato Sensei was late. Nia looked a little bit worried. "He's usually not this late." she muttered. Suddenly Kikato appeared in front of them.

"Sorry I'm late, I got caught up with something." He said. "Are you ready for your mission? It's C ranked so you'll need to keep your guard up. It's a mission guarding a merchant with some valuable items. We leave tomorrow so you need to get packed and you three should talk and practice the guard formation." Kikato disappeared.

Faron overheard Gori and Nia making plans to meet up and practice. He thought they would exclude him but he planned on showing up anyways so he went home to pack.

(later)

Faron was at the training field. He was wearing his full armor waiting in a tree. After a while he saw Nia and Gori walking up. When they were close, he jumped from the tree.

"I see you didn't care to invite me." He said flatly. Nia glared at him.

"Because we didn't want you here." Faron walked towards them.

"And why is that?" He asked.

Gori walked closer as well, "Because our last member Kissimi, quit. We knew him since the academy and were the best of friends but on our last mission as soon as real danger came he ran and almost go Nia killed." Nia nodded.

"And if we couldn't trust our friend who we knew for so long, how can we trust you?" Faron was outraged.

"I am no coward! I face danger headfirst with my shield and sword and will not leave my comrades alone or to die!" he was practically yelling. "I understand if I have to earn your trust but to not give me a chance is stupid."

"Well now is your chance to prove it." Gori said. "Let's just practice formation.

(the next day)

Faron and his team were waiting at the gate with Kikato. "Where is that merchant?" he asked. Kikato pointed. "I think that's her." Faron looked and saw a girl pulling a cart. She slowly approached.

"Hello, are you here to escort me to the Land of Grass?" Kikato noded. She held out her hand and Kikato shook it. "My name is Mika." She then shook hands and exchanged names with everybody.

"Why are you in full armor?" She asked Faron.

"To protect myself." He replied. They started walking.

Faron looked at Mika. "What do you have in there?"

"Some weapons and supplies." Mika said. Faron nodded and continued.

"So Faron where do you come from." Kikato asked. Faron didn't respond.

"I don't even know myself." Faron said. "No matter how hard I try I really can't remember." This interested Nia but she tried to hide it.

"Oh well then there is no point asking any further." Kikato said. Everyone continued with small talk. Faron however remained mostly quiet.

(With Ronin)

Ronin walked around town, Lana in tow.

"When can I get these cuffs off." Lana asked in a childish voice.

"When you prove you won't kill me." Ronin said. Ronin continued forward. He was going to introduce Lana to Kurenai.

"We are almost there. So when you meet her don't make a fool of yourself." Ronin said once they arrived he knocked on Kurenai's door. They heard footsteps and then the door opened.

"Oh hey Ronin. Who is your friend?" Kurenai said.

"This is Lana." Ronin said completely ignoring her comment. Lana waved.

"Hi. Nice to meet you my name is Kurenai." Kurenai said as she shook Lana's hands.

"Nice to meet you too." Lana said.

"Well it seems like Ronin didn't rough you up too bad when he fought you." Kurenai smiled. " Come in." Both teens walked in.

"So Kurenai, I need to ask a favor." Ronin said. Kurenai nodded.

"Can you look after Lana during the exams?" Ronin asked.

"I can, but are you two getting along?" Kurenai asked. Lana shook her head.

"Well you two need to learn how to get along before and after huh." Kurenai said. Lana shook her head again. "That an order for you though Ronin." Ronin growled.

"Fine" Ronin said. "Well good to see you and goodbye." Ronin guided Lana to the door.

"No I need to get to really know Lana. So leave her here." Kurenai said. Ronin grinned as Lana walked towards Kurenai.

"We'll see you later Sensei." Ronin said as he left.

"Why are you so interested?" Lana asked.

"Oh no. I want to get to know Lana so leave her here." Kurenai said. Ronin nodded and Lana just sighed. When Ronin departed, Lana only looked at Kurenai in annoyance.

(With Ren)

Ren finally made a successful clone. As Ren grinned at the clone Ino spoke.

"Great job Ren. You'll be ready for the exams in no time." Ino said. Naruto piped in.

"Yeah. We all need to kick up our training." Naruto said

"Well then you guys continue. I have to train with my father." Hinata said. Naruto nodded. Everyone waved goodbye and she waved back.

"Now that you have harnessed you chakra we can teach you more Justus." Ino said to Ren.

"I can teach you guys something too." Ren said. Naruto grinned and Ino smiled. "Let's get to it."

(With Faron)

Faron's team weren't even halfway to the Land of Grass when they set up camp. Faron spoke.

"I will grab some firewood." Faron said he walked off.

"Why is he so strange Kikato sensei?" Nia said. Kikato shrugged.

"That's like asking why I'm weird. We all are different, he is just further out there." Nia nodded then whispered to Gori. Gori whispered back. Nia giggled. Faron came back with two arm loads of wood and placed the piles on the ground. Faron then lit the fire. He sat down.

"Faron take your armor off." Kikato said. Faron sighed. He only took his helmet off. Mika laughed.

"I thought you were a walking suit of armor. I thought I would have to sell you." Mika said.

Faron only scoffed. "Yeah. Hope everyone's okay."

"Who is everyone?" Nia asked.

"Ren, Ronin, Naruto, and Lana. Ronin's been on edge-" Then Faron stopped. He just shared his and his friends business. Faron then just stood up. "I going to get some food." Faron walked off before anyone could contest.

Gori spoke. "Kikato sensei do you trust him?" Kikato though for a moment.

"He hasn't done anything to doubt my trust but, he needs a better excuse, because I hope he knows we brought food." Kikato said as he pulled out a piece a bread from his pouch. Nia smiled.

Faron sat in a tree. "Why. Why did I say that." Faron took a long sigh. "Might as well just stay here." Faron sat on the tree until dawn and when he awoke it was time to depart.

"Let's go Faron we don't have all day." Kikato said into the woods. After a minute there was a rustling of leaves, then Faron appeared.

"Alright. Let's go." Faron said. Kikato rolled his eyes and everyone got into their position. Mika approached Faron.

"You okay? You seemed… on edge after the conversation last night." Mika said.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Faron said. "I'm just not much of a people person." Mika giggled.

"Well I seem to have gotten to you." Faron had a small smile on his face.

"I guess you did." Faron said.

(With Lana)

Lana sat with Kurenai. She like Kurenai she seemed nice. She learned a lot about Ronin in exchange for being with her. Kurenai got what she wanted and sent Lana off. As she walked home she saw Ronin in Ichiraku Ramen and walked in. Ronin looked at her.

"I hope Kurenai didn't do anything to you." Ronin said as he slurped down some noodles.

"She was ok, but now that I know a lot more about you I have enough blackmail for three life times.

"What every you know isn't the worst thing you'll tell the gang." Ronin said. Lana smirked and whispered something in his ear. Ronin kept eating. "I've told them way worse stuff, your gonna have to try harder."

"Really. Well then I've got nothing." Lana said . Ronin continued to eat then when he got up and paid, Lana followed.

(With Ren)

Ren was walking around town with Ino who insisted on coming along. "How do you think Faron's mission is going on?" Ino shrugged. "How is it with Sakura?" Ino started to speak.

"Sakura is okay, but let's talk about you." Ino said. Ren looked at her.

"I'd rather not." Ino giggled

"Yes you would." Ino said. Ren just sighed.

"What do ya wanna know?"

"Well…have you ever had a girlfriend?" She asked. Ren looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"No I haven't. I was planning this trip for so long that I never really interacted with people." Ren said. Ino smiled.

"Well then. Let's change the subject. So what is Hyrule like?" Ino asked sweetly.

"It's a large city. It has a huge castle owned by King Link, Queen Zelda and their daughter Princess Amelia." Ren said in a proud manner.

"Well it sounds like a nice place. A couple years ago Ronin mentioned his parents living there. Do you know anything about that?" Ino asked. Ren thought.

"Yeah his mother is the general of the Hylian army and his father is the general of the Lizalfos. I only know that because of well… their status." Ren said

"Interesting." Ino said.

(With Faron)

When Faron's team were walking up a trail. Kikato heard a sound in the trees. He undermined it, although the stood on guard. When they were further into the forest a shadow whizzed by. Kikato then saw rogue ninja charging at them Kikato threw a shuriken at him and warned his students. Faron turned and ran at the ninja. Faron drew his blade and cut the ninja. The ninja flew back and started making hand signs.

"Fire style, Fireball jutsu." The ninja said and a large orb of fire flew towards Faron. He ran through the fireball and slashed the ninja down the middle. The ninja then turned into a log. Kunias with bomb tags flew towards Faron. Nia mad hand signs.

"Earth release, Earth Barrier!" Nia shouted. A wall of stone appeared behind Faron and blocked the kunias. Faron nodded towards Nia as Gori made hand signs of his own.

"Water style, Water dragon jutsu." Gori said as he shot the dragon into the trees. The ninja grunted and hit a tree. Kikato grinned to his students.

"Good job team." Kikato said.

"No prob." Gori said.

"That was… too easy." Faron said as he returned to the group.

"What do you mean 'Too easy'?" Nia asked with a confused look on her face.

"I mean.. I guess I expected more. It's fine though. Let's continue." Faron said as everyone started to walk. After several more hours they finally arrive in the land of grass.

"Thank you for your help." Mika said. When everyone was starting to move away Mika grabbed Faron's arm.

"You need something Mika." Faron said.

"If you ever need a friend you know where to find me." Mika said and put a small orb in his hand.

"Thank you. Bye Mika." Faron said. He smiled then walked to his team. When he got back to his team Nai spoke to him.

"Well. I think you may have gained our trust." Nai said.

"Yeah. I guess you have." Gori said.

"Well then this team is closer now." Kikato said.

(With Ronin and Lana)

Ronin led Lana to the Hokage Mountain.

"We are here again." Lana said.

"Yeah this is a peaceful place in this city." Ronin said.

"You like peaceful huh?" Lana said.

"Yeah it I had enough of chaos that I started. Well I guess I learned to stay away." Ronin said.
