The Legend Of Naruto: The Wind Waker Hyrule Castle & Return To Forsaken Fortress!
Inside of the ocean...
As Naruto and the King Of Red Lions were going deeper and deeper into the ocean, Naruto could hardly breathe, that he almost lost his breath and was afraid he'd pass out.
"Is King Of Red Lions trying to kill me? He bettter not kill me. I already made a promise to Itachi that I'd bring Sasuke back home to him. Same with Grandpa... I also promised him that I'd bring Konohamaru back home safe and sound. No... I can't die here... I can't!" cried Naruto to himself as he was surprised that he didn't die.
"Oh. Nothing happened. I'm not dead." said Naruto to himself as he and the King Of Red Lions arrived at Hyrule Castle, which had been turned into nothing but a world full of b/w (black and white).
"Hey, King Of Red Lions, why is this place all black and white? I mean, seriously, where are we? What is this place?" asked Naruto as he got off of the King Of Red Lions.
"Well, unfortunately, I can't explain everything right now, Naruto. This is not a good time for me to explain everything to you that's happened just now. But if you are able to strike down Orochimaru with this sacred item once and for all... well... hopefully everything will make sense to you, so don't worry, Naruto. Just believe what I say and go and find the sacred item in this castle! Now go!" cried the King Of Red Lions as Naruto went inside Hyrule Castle.
After Naruto was finally able to open up the basement inside of Hyrule Castle by completing the puzzle and deciphering it, he saw the Master Sword.
"Whoa... the Master Sword." said Naruto as he stood in front of the Master Sword. Just then, he felt a rumble in his pocket. When he took out the Pirate's Gem, it was the King Of Red Lions that was speaking to him.
"Good job, Naruto! To receive such a puzzle and to decipher it is not a real easy task, you know. Now, take the Master Sword that lies before you... the blade of evil's bane. It is the only sword that can destroy Orochimaru, and banish him from the world above, once and for all!" cried the King Of Red Lions as Naruto put the Pirate's Gem away and took out the Master Sword.
Suddenly, as Naruto was blinded by a light, the castle magically came back to life.
"What happened?" asked Naruto to himself as he saw the room in color.
"Hmm... I wonder if I can try out some moves with the Master Sword?" asked Naruto as he tried out some moves with the Master Sword. Surprisingly, the Master Sword accepted Naruto as its master.
"So... my own father used to use this Master Sword, huh? Dad... I wish you were here. The King Of Red Lions is right. If you were alive right now... you would have been so proud to have learned that your own eldest son, Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki... is the new hero... the Hero Of Winds." said Naruto to himself as he looked at the ceiling and thought of his father, Minato and went back to the King Of Red Lions.
After Naruto got back to the King Of Red Lions, he got on him as they were off to the Forsaken Fortress to save Naruto's little brother, Konohamaru.
At the Forsaken Fortress...
When Naruto and the King Of Red Lions finally arrived at the Forsaken Fortress to rescue Naruto's little brother, Konohamaru, the King Of Red Lions said:
"Okay Naruto. Remember, Orochimaru has already been aware of our little "invasion" attempt to try and rescue your little brother, Konohamaru... but now that you have the Master Sword, Naruto, the sword itself will shine in the darkness, casting back evil that was onnce created by Orochimaru since he first came to the land of Hyrule... but with the Master Sword now in your possession, nothing can stop you from rescuing your brother! Remember Naruto, do not be afraid! Be strong!" cried the King Of Red Lions as Naruto went off to rescue Konohamaru.
All of a sudden, a darker version of him appeared along with Phantom Orochimaru, and Second State Sasuke.
"Well... look who's here. If it isn't Naruto Uzumaki... the Hero Of Winds... trying to rescue his little brother, Konohamaru." said Phantom Orochimaru.
(Note: I'm using Orochimaru's disguise as the grass ninja, Shiore from episode 27 when he first appeared in Naruto. Just pretend that Orochimaru's disguise as Shiore the grass ninja is Phantom Orochimaru, alright?)
"It's been a long time... hasn't it? And here Lord Orochimaru was thinking that you'd be dead. It turns out... that he was mistaken." said Dark Naruto.
"No matter. We will not let you try to get past this Forsaken Fortress alive! Your search for Konohamaru ends here!" cried Second State Sasuke.
"Prepare to die... Naruto Uzumaki!" cried Dark Naruto, Phantom Orochimaru, and Second State Sasuke in unison as Naruto fought them, and defeated them to a bloody pulp.
"Heh. My search for Konohamaru ends here, huh? Yeah right! Nothing's gonna stop me! Nothing! That's what the King Of Red Lions told me! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a brother to rescue!" cried Naruto as he got the Skull Hammer and continued his journey to the Forsaken Fortress.
Finally, as he reached the door that led to the prison room where Konohamaru was held captive, Naruto bumped into someone who he had seen the first time he came into the Forsaken Fortress... Sasuke Uchiha.
"Well, well, well... look who's here... if it isn't you... Naruto Uzumaki. I'll never forget the day that you first came here to the Forsaken Fortress. I was so happy to find out that you'd be dead. And you want to know what happened? Orochimaru sent me to find you to make sure that you weren't alive, and that you would not get this far in your journey to rescue your little brother, Konohamaru. And what happened? I bumped into you at Dragon Roost Cavern to find out that you had survived that fall when you got kicked out of the Forsaken Fortress the first time you came here. Heh. It's a good thing that the Helmaroc King kicked you out... because guess what? Your quest to find Konohamaru ends here." said Sasuke.
"Oh really? Then if I win our battle, I'm taking you back to Dragon Roost Island to take you back to your older brother, Itachi who's been looking for you for four years!" cried Naruto.
"What? How do you know that I was kidnapped by Orochimaru?" asked a shocked Sasuke.
"Itachi told me. He told me... everything." said Naruto.
Sasuke then gulped and asked:
"Everything?" as Naruto nodded his head.
"Hmph. It's too late, Naruto. No matter how hard you try to convince me to go back to Dragon Roost Island, I'm never going back! You wanna know why? Because Orochimaru's my master, and I'm loyal to him! That's why! So if you think I'm going to go with you back to Dragon Roost Island to see Itachi again, then you must be out of your mind. Tell you what: If I win our little battle, then I will remain here at Forsaken Fortress with Orochimaru. And if you win our battle... then... I'll go with you back to Dragon Roost Island. Deal?" asked Sasuke.
"Deal! Now... let's fight!" cried Naruto as he and Sasuke began fighting.
After the battle...
Surprisingly, Naruto had won the battle against Sasuke... again.
Naruto and Sasuke began panting after their battle, due to them being exhausted from their battle by wasting most of their chakra.
"It seems I underestimated you." said Sasuke as he was panting while wiping a drop of sweat from his battle as he wiped his mouth with his left hand.
"Alright. You win. After you save your brother... we're going back to Dragon Roost Island. I'll see you later, Naruto." said Sasuke as he disappeared in a puff of smoke as Naruto opened the door to the prison room and went inside it.
When Naruto got inside the prison room, he carefully snuck in there just to make sure that the Helmaroc King wouldn't grab him like it did last time as it kicked him out of the Forsaken Fortress.
"Phew. I made it. I'm safe... for now." said Naruto as he was relieved that the Helmaroc King hadn't shown up to grab him... yet.
Naruto then ran to the prison cell that Konohamaru was trapped inside of.
"I miss Naruto. He'll never find me. Face it, Konohamaru. Naruto's dead. He'll never come to bring you home... never... never." said a crying Konohamaru as he believed Naruto to be dead after Sasuke told him that his older brother wouldn't come back for him, because he was presumed dead... or so Konohamaru thought.
"Konohamaru!" cried a voice.
"Wait... is that... no... it can't be. Wait a minute... was that Naruto's voice? No. Stop it, Konohamaru. You're just hearing things." said Konohamaru to himself as he thought he heard Naruto's voice.
"Konohamaru! It's me! Naruto!" cried Naruto as he ran to Konohamaru's prison cell.
"Naruto!" cried a relieved Konohamaru as his other two prison cell mates, Udon, the boy, and Moegi, the girl looked at Naruto coming to rescue him.
"See guys? I told you he'd come back for me!" cried Konohamaru as he looked at Moegi and Udon and smiled at them.
"Naruto! You're alive! I was... worried..." said Konohamaru.
"Don't worry, Konohamaru. I'll get you out of this cell. Just let me open this door here." said Naruto as he walked to the prison cell door, and tried to open it.
"The cell won't open that easily, you idiot." said a familiar voice as Naruto turned around, and heard the voice coming from his old friend, Sakura who was standing with her pirates, Kakashi and Sai.
"Sakura! Long time no see, eh?" asked Naruto as he scratched the back of his head as he was surprised to bump into Sakura and her pirates here at the Forsaken Fortress.
"No way! Sakura's here? But how did she get here? She must have followed my trail all the way from Outset Island to here, the Forsaken Fortress!" cried Naruto to himself who was shocked that he reunited with Sakura.
"There you go... acting before you think... as usual... how typical of you... Naruto." said Sakura as she looked at Sai and Kakashi and said:
"Boys? Open the cell."
"I swear! Did you even have a clue that we were here and had to draw that monster bird off for you, Naruto? Seriously! Did you know that? Heh! If that bird came and was about to fly in here after you like it did last time, then it would be deja vu all over again! Can you believe that?" asked Sakura as she suddenly looked at Naruto and realized that he had the Master Sword that was hidden in his sheild.
"Naruto!" cried Sakura as Naruto turned around to face her.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that, Sakura?" asked Naruto as he gave Sakura a weird look.
"That sword! Where in the goddesses of Hyrule did you get that? Are you... is it even possible? Where? Why? How?" asked a shocked Sakura as she looked at the Master Sword.
"How could it be? Isn't that... the Master Sword? Where in the world did he get that? Naruto... what have you been doing all this time after we parted?" asked a shocked Sakura to herself who couldn't believe that he got the Master Sword.
"Hmph. Never mind that, Naruto. For now, we'll just take these kids. I'm sure that their families back at home will pay a handsome reward for their return." said Sakura as Sai and Kakashi opened the door while Sai picked up Udon and Kakashi picked up Moegi and took them back to the pirate ship.
As Konohamaru looked at Naruto, there were happy yet sad tears in his eyes as he was happy to finally be reunited with his older brother, Naruto.
"Naruto!" cried Konohamaru as he ran to Naruto as the two brothers happily embraced as they were finally back together again.
"Oh Naruto... I thought you wouldn't come back for me... I thought you were dead..." said Konohamaru as he began crying as he sobbed into Naruto's arms getting his orange jumpsuit all wet with his tears. But Naruto didn't care if his own little brother's tears made his jumpsuit all wet. All he wanted... was to be with his little brother.
Sakura then smiled at their reunion and thought of her mother, Tsunade, and wondered if she'd ever see her again.
"Mother... will I ever see you again? Will I?" asked Sakura to herself.
"Shh. It's alright, Konohamaru. I'm here now. It's okay. You're safe." said Naruto as he also had tears in his eyes as he was happy to have his little brother back.
"Oh, I hate to interrupt such a heartwarming brotherly reunion..." said Sakura as she pointed to the sky as Konohamaru and Naruto stopped hugging.
"But isn't there still something that you need to take care of?" asked Sakura referring to that monstrous bird, the Helmaroc King that had kidnapped Konohamaru and Sasuke a long time ago.
"Oh. Right. Can't forget about the Helmaroc King now, can I?" asked Naruto as he nodded his head.
"Naruto... listen... if you're worried about your little brother... don't be. I promise that I'll bring him back safely to your island. Usually, I would expect a huge reward from you as thanks for rescuing your little brother and all... but this time... it's my treat!" cried Sakura as she looked at Konohamaru.
"Listen, Konohamaru, your brother still has some things to take care of. Big, important grown-up things. But don't worry, he'll be back soon, so you just wait nice and quiet on my pirate ship, ok?" asked Sakura.
"But... Naruto..." said Konohamaru as he looked at Naruto.
"Hey... Konohamaru... don't worry. I'll be back as soon as I can." said Naruto as he looked at Konohamaru, kneeled down on his left leg and put his hands on his little brother's shoulders.
"Nuh-uh! I'm not letting you go! I already lost you once, Naruto! I'm not going to lose you again!" cried Konohamaru as he shook his head.
"Konohamaru! This is important! Look... just go with Sakura and her pirates and I promise I'll meet you back at the pirate ship after I defeat the Helmaroc King as soon as I can, alright?" asked Naruto.
"You're not going to die like Mom and Dad did, are you?" asked Konohamaru as he had tears in his eyes.
"No. Just believe in me. Believe in yourself. I'll be okay. Now just go." said Naruto.
Just then, Kakashi came into the room and said:
"Miss Sakura! We have to hurry! The bird will be here any second!"
"Excellent, Kakashi! You're just in time! Do me a favor and take this little boy for me, will you?" asked Sakura.
"What? But Miss Sakura! He's-" said Kakashi as Sakura interrupted him by saying:
"He's fine, Kakashi! Just do as you're told! I don't have time for arguing right now!"
"Yes Miss Sakura! I'll get right to it!" cried Kakashi as he picked up Konohamaru and carried him out of the prison room.
"Naruto!" cried Konoahmaru as Naruto was waving to his little brother with a smile.
Suddenly, as Sakura was about to leave the prison room, she winked at Naruto, and asked:
"Naruto! We'll be back! I swear it! So don't die, okay?"
"Okay." said Naruto as Sakura left the room as the Helmaroc King appeared.
"Well... it's time for me to kill this bird once and for all! Konohamaru... this is for you!" cried Naruto as he fought the Helmaroc King while the water in the prison room was flooding.
After he smashed the Helmaroc King with the Skull Hammer, it fell into the water in defeat.
"Ha! Piece of cake! Now to go and find Sakura!" cried Naruto as he realized that the water was flooding.
"Shoot! I can't get out! What am I gonna do now?" asked a panicked Naruto to himself.
"Well... I might as well have to go to Orochimaru then." said Naruto as he got to the top of the Forsaken Fortress and was about to go and kill Orochimaru until...
SQUAWK!
...until he heard a loud squawk coming from the Helmaroc King as it appeared and came out of the water as the tower's top door closed trapping Naruto on top of the tower.
"Oh no. Not again." said Naruto as he fought the Helmaroc King a second time.
After the Helmaroc King was killed by Naruto, it tried to retreat but ended up it died.
"Ha! Now that the Helmaroc King is dead, it's time for me to give Orochimaru a piece of my mind! Believe it!" cried Naruto as he went up to Orochimaru's room on top of the Forsaken Fortress to confront him once and for all!
(Note: Sorry if there's a cliffhanger guys. But anyways, stay tuned for Chapter 14 because there's going to be a bit of a surprise for you guys.)
