The Legend Of Naruto: The Wind Waker Chapter 10: Rescuing Lee In The Forbidden Woods!
(Note: Although there is a little bit of romance between NaruSaku and NaruHina, there is not only Adventure and Romance, but there's also a little bit of Humor, Drama, and maybe Tragedy too. Please enjoy the chapter!)
After Naruto and Guy flew over to the Forbidden Woods using their Deku Leaves that The Great Deku Tree had given them, they finally landed safely and headed inside... the Forbidden Woods.
"So wait... let me get this straight: Rock Lee is your... son?" asked Naruto as he was shocked to learn from Guy that Lee was his son.
"Yep! That's right! Together, we're... The Handsome Devils Of The Forest Haven!" cried Guy as he did his "nice guy pose".
"Uh... yeah... anyways... let's get going." said Naruto.
"Oh. Right. Sorry." said Guy as he quickly followed Naruto close behind.
10 minutes later...
As they were looking for Lee inside the Forbidden Woods, they went inside the mini boss room.
Suddenly, as Naruto and Guy went inside the mini boss room, they saw Sasuke... waiting for them with his back turned.
"It's been a while... Naruto..." said Sasuke as he turned around to face Naruto.
"Heh. A while? You were only gone for half the day... Sasuke!" cried Naruto.
"You know this boy?" asked Guy.
"Yes. I've encountered him twice. Since this is my third time seeing him... I hope that this will be the last time that I see him alive." said Naruto.
"Is that so? Well... I brought a little friend with me. Summoning Jutsu!" cried Sasuke as he summoned Monkey King Ook from Twilight Princess.
"Wait a minute... Monkey King Ook from Twilight Princess? I thought I was supposed to be fighting a giant butterfly or something?" asked Naruto.
"Well... while I fight your little friend over there... you Naruto will fight Monkey King Ook." said Sasuke as he ran to go and fight Guy.
"Well... I have no choice... Monkey King Ook... prepare to die!" cried Naruto as he began fighting Monkey King Ook.
After the battle...
After Naruto's battle with Monkey King Ook, and Guy's battle with Sasuke, Monkey King Ook collapsed.
"Is he dead?" asked Guy.
"I don't know." said Naruto.
Just then, Monkey King Ook woke up.
He then looked carefully at his surroundings, looked at Naruto and Guy, and was ashamed that he had harmed Naruto.
"Hey! Wait!" cried Naruto as he was about to go and chase after him.
"Naruto. Wait. We can't go there just yet." said Guy as he stopped Naruto by putting his left hand on Naruto's right shoulder.
"We have to take care of... him first." said Guy as he was referring to Sasuke who was unconscious.
Naruto then walked to Sasuke, picked him up by the collar, sat on top of him, and asked him:
"Alright Sasuke. Enough games. Now... where's Guy's son, Lee?"
"Alright! I'll tell you! Guy... your son Lee is... in the boss room." said Sasuke who finally revealed Lee's location.
"The boss room? But what's he doing in there?" asked a shocked Naruto as his eyes along with Guy's widened in shock.
"Well... Lee... he... he accidentally fell into the Forbidden Woods. He was saying that he wanted to give something to The Great Deku Tree for the ceremony. But... Lord Orochimaru ordered us to lock Lee... into the Forbidden Woods." said Sasuke.
"Wait a minute. Us? Who's us?" asked a confused Naruto.
"Us as in... Sakon and me. He's one of The Four Sound Ninja. He also summoned his pet Kalle Demos. But... Sakon said that in order for you to save Lee... you would have to fight Kalle Demos first." said Sasuke.
"So what are we waiting for? Come on! Let's get going!" cried Naruto as he got off of Sasuke.
"Wait Naruto." said Sasuke.
"Huh?" asked Naruto as Sasuke got up and said:
"Here's the Boss Key." as he gave Naruto the Boss Key to the Forbidden Woods.
"Thanks for the Boss Key Sasuke. Well Guy? Here we go!" cried Naruto as he and Guy went to the Boss Room.
Inside the Boss Room...
When they got inside the Boss Room, Sasuke locked them in and said:
"Sakon! Finish the job! Kill them! Kill them both! Especially Naruto!"
"Hey! Wait!" cried Naruto as he ran to the door.
But it was too late... Sasuke had already locked the Boss Room Door.
"Lee!" cried Guy as Lee appeared in the Boss Room.
"Father!" cried Lee.
"Heh. I don't think so pal. Summoning Jutsu!" cried Sakon as Kalle Demos appeared.
"Lee look out!" cried Naruto.
Suddenly, Lee got swallowed up by Kalle Demos.
"Lee! No!" cried Guy.
"Don't worry Guy! We'll take care of this monster! Believe it! Not if my name is Naruto Uzumaki! Let's go Guy!" cried Naruto as he and Guy fought Kalle Demos.
After the boss battle...
After Kalle Demos had been defeated, Sakon appeared and said:
"Kalle Demos! No! You haven't seen the last of me! 'Cause guess what? It's not over yet kid! It's not over yet!" as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Suddenly, an unconscious Lee appeared on the ground.
"Lee! Are you alright?" asked Guy as Lee woke up.
"Father!" cried Lee as he had tears in his eyes along with Guy who also had tears in his eyes... as they began to hug.
"Oh Lee... I thought I lost you. Just promise me that you won't ever go into the Forbidden Woods again, alright?" asked Guy.
"Okay. I understand. And... I'm sorry I didn't listen to you Dad. Oh! I also brought a present for The Great Deku Tree!" cried Lee as he gave Guy the red Hidden Leaf Village Headband.
"Hey! Where'd you get that?" asked a shocked Naruto.
"Well... after my mother died... about six years ago... she gave me this headband... to give to The Great Deku Tree. You see... my mother used to become an attendant to The Great Deku Tree. But one day... she came to this Boss Room... here in the Forbidden Woods... but was tragically killed by Kalle Demos." said Lee.
"You know... Neji's father Hizashi had become an attendant to the great Valoo too. But except Hizashi was killed by some pirates that were bad." said Naruto.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I got a little carried away with my story and didn't properly introduce myself! Where are my manners? I'm Rock Lee! Handsome Devil Of The Forest Haven! But first... may I know the name of the person who helped my father rescue me?" asked Lee.
"I"m Naruto Uzumaki! The Wind Waker! Believe it!" cried Naruto as he gave Lee the thumbs up.
"Come on! What are we waiting for? The Great Deku Tree is waiting for us! The ceremony's about to start!" cried Guy.
"The ceremony! Come on guys! Let's go!" cried Lee.
"Right!" cried Naruto as he, Guy, and Lee stepped into the portal.
Back at the Forest Haven...
As soon as Guy, Lee, and Naruto arrived back at the Forest Haven, they saw The Great Deku Tree who was relieved to see that Lee had safely returned back to the Forest Haven.
"Lee! Thank goodness! You're just in time for the ceremony! I see you returned home safely, eh?" asked The Great Deku Tree.
Lee then bowed down in tears and said:
"Oh Great Deku Tree! I'm so sorry that I didn't listen to you! I know you told me never to go inside the Forbidden Woods! But still... I did not listen! Please forgive me!"
"Now now Lee. Don't cry. I forgive you. Just promise that you'll never go there again, alright?" asked The Great Deku Tree.
"Okay. Anyways... I have come to play the song for the ceremony." said Lee as he calmed down, looked at Naruto, and asked:
"Naruto... would you care to listen to the song of the ceremony?"
"Okay. But it better be a good song." said Naruto.
"Oh it will alright. It will." said Lee as he took out his fiddle, and began playing a little bit of the theme song from "Lord Of The Dance."
After the song was over, Naruto said:
"Hmm... catchy song Lee. Nice."
"Thank you Naruto! Naruto, both The Great Deku Tree, my father Guy, and myself thank you for saving me. Without you, I would have never been saved. It was all thanks to you... Naruto Uzumaki." said Lee with a smile.
"You're welcome. Oh, and if you need to be rescued again, you know how to call! Me! Naruto Uzumaki! The Wind Waker! Believe it!" cried Naruto as he gave Lee the thumbs up and smiled at him.
"Naruto... before you go... here is Farore's Pearl... the pearl that you've been searching for. This pearl... will help aid you in your quest to defeat Orochimaru. Take it Naruto. It's yours now." said The Great Deku Tree as he gave Naruto Farore's Pearl.
"Great Deku Tree! You've done it again. This year, you have produced some fine splendid seeds!" cried a Korok.
"Now! We must go Koroks! To the sea!" cried another Korok.
"See you all next year Naruto!" cried another Korok.
"Goodbye!" cried another Korok.
"Take care of yourself Naruto!" cried another Korok.
"Farewell, O brave swordsman, Naruto Uzumaki! I hope the winds will reunite us again someday!" cried another Korok as they all flew away.
"Well Naruto, it's been a pleasure to work with you! I do hope that you come visit us again real soon!" cried Guy.
"Don't worry! I'll come back someday! I hope..." said Naruto.
"Naruto... thanks again for all your help. My father couldn't have rescued me without you. Goodbye... my new friend." said Lee as he gave Naruto a friendly hug.
"Goodbye Lee... and... try to stay out of trouble, okay?" asked Naruto.
"Don't worry. I will." said Lee.
"Naruto... I hope we see each other again someday. Both Lee and I wish you good luck on your journey. And... good luck in trying to find your brother." said Guy.
"I will. Well... goodbye!" cried Naruto as he left the Forest Haven.
"Goodbye Naruto!" cried Lee.
"Good luck!" cried Guy.
"I will!" cried Naruto as he left the Forest Haven and went back to the King Of Red Lions.
"So... it seems this place has also been invaded by Orochimaru as well, too, huh? I wonder... is he already gaining more power everytime you come across a dungeon and defeat a boss? Naruto, we must the find the last remaining pearl!" cried the King Of Red Lions.
"Let me guess. Nayru's Pearl, right?" asked Naruto.
"How did you know?" asked the King Of Red Lions.
"I know things." said Naruto.
"Ahem. Well... anyway... Nayru's Pearl lies in a place that's northwest of here. We must sail there immediately!" cried the King Of Red Lions.
"Right!" cried Naruto as he climbed onto the King Of Red Lions and headed off to the next destination of where Nayru's Pearl might be... Greatfish Isle.
