Disclaimer & Author's Note: I do not own anything Naruto or Zelda that is mentioned in this plotline. All I own are original characters, items/weapons/jutsu/ect.
Hm.... I read some reviews. Some confusion with the Needle Bomb concept. Senbon as we know are long thin needles. However, Nin-Ombs as I call them are the size of small cherry bombs. Ever seen a small cherry bomb before? A single Nin-omb feels like a large-sized marble in one's hand, and attaching that to the Senbon, and thus Needle Bombs. A Nin-Omb weights a lot less but is packed with explosives inside while also inscribed with an Explosive Tag kanji, thus gives that extra explosive punch. But, it was something I had thought of because originally I was going to be using what I'MNOTCRAZY1 suggested with bomb looped by string through kunai ring. Naruto uses Explosive Tags, but only for traps, while using Nin-Ombs for a more direct approach (plus, it's a Zelda-fied item).
I do however have plans for more items but then again, you all have to wait until I continue this story in Shippuuden. Remember, while monsters will be popping up more and more, not until the sequel where the world soon discovers Lansing's dark creatures roaming the lands. I know I may have made a few mistakes here and there but I'll clean time up soon... hopefully. And sorry, no Heart Containers... though Naruto will share Link's habit of sometimes fishing junk from rivers or lakes or the ocean itself... .
Chapter Twenty Nine
"Luring him into your so-called trap will not work. The little imp will just warp him away," spoke Kumo. But he turned around, as Amachi was snarling at him, trying to break free, "however, a power that you demand comes with a price. Do you really think that Leader-sama would even want to add you to his forces? HA! Foolish little demon..."
He smiled behind his helmet, and his eyes begin to glow. He looked down upon the screen, and with a little camera, see's the boy stirring. The tunnel he was in would lead directly to here, that is, if he can remain conscious.
=0=0=
Naruto groaned, as he slowly stood back up, and picked up the fallen gauntlets.
"The hell?"
He peers up. He saw the hole that he fell into, but could barely make out the ceiling from the darkened space.
"Great..."
"Naruto, are you alright?"
Midna emerged from his shadow.
"I'm fine... Took a hard fall..."
He got up and looked around, before he heard what sounded like white water. Then they both got flushed down the tunnel by a surge of rushing water. Naruto and Midna lost consciousness as they got banged and trashed when they got swept into a tunnel. Eventually, Naruto awakens, but finds himself in a prison, with the girl Amachi kidnapped. He heard chuckling, and sees Darknut Kumo standing there, and in a prison himself was Amachi, but the man was mutated into a demonic form.
"Ah, so you awaken..."
"What the hell?" Naruto groaned finding himself shackled and his weapons on a table. He only had his sword since he guessed repelled the dark energies of evil.
"Amachi did dwell, but Leader-sama thought that he was taking it too slow, so Im here to speed the process."
"What process? Where's Isaribi!?"
"Naruto!" He looked to his right and saw Isaribi trapped in her own prison.
"The girl is fine... though she will forever be classified a freak due to her Zora traits the snake man fused into her DNA," Darknut Kumo chuckled.
And Darknut Kumo began to gather all the twilight and the magic that warped this place. Outside, the island's appearance was slowly reverting back to normal, and inside, the dark dungeon-like lab returned to an underground lab, and all the dark energies were pooling, and being absorbed into the demonic fish creature.
"You think you can escape in time... even if you did, you will never be able to destroy Amachi now." Kumo smiled at Naruto before vanishing, leaving him and the shackled Twilight Princess to watch as someone who was once human now turned into that of a true demon. His form shatters the glass tube and he only continued to grow larger. Midna felt magical ward shatter as Amachi's size increased. She managed to tap into her magic, and warped the three of them to a safer distance, along with Naruto's weapons... but only to the door, since there were other wards that were suddenly around the room.
They ran out of the room, as the demon was easily crushing through the hard stone and metal. Up and up they continued, soon reaching another expansive room. "Midna, get Isaribi out of here then come back... I got a demon to slay!"
"Naruto wait a minute!" She yelled but watched as Naruto dove off the inner cliff towards the demon that was escaping. Off to an island of its coast, the townsfolk were shocked to seeing the island transform from a demonic form back to the normal island they feared. From the island, a loud demonic roar broke the air as rock explodes from the top, and out poked a demonic Amachi. More of the island's side shatters and breaks away as a large sea monster emerged, and slowly swam. However, all they saw was what looked like a rocky island with waving tentacles...
On it was Naruto, attacking the tentacles that apparently caused it to roar in pain. Even so, they would regrow once again when they were hacked off. That is, until he spotted something very interesting. One of the waving tentacles had some sort of growth moving from inside the see-through tentacle. He threw a kunai at it, and it pierced the heart-looking organ, causing a more painful screech to emerge. The entire rocky island mass shook violently, forcing Naruto off his feet.
The rest of it emerged. His head was a fusion of his fish-like features and that of a bird's curved beak with a dragonic head. The eyes were pupilless, glowing red, except for its third yellow eye which was large, with a slitted red pupil, and appears bloodshot with the blood veins black. It had a mane of white fur-like hair trailing along the back and sides, and along the neck was the spine of a fish running clear down the spine until it reached to where the long slender neck poked out from. The body was that of a lobster's shell. The lower body was four spine flippers, and it had a thick but short tail with a spiked fish fin.
"Alright you piece of shit... come at me!" Naruto yells, just as the demonic creature roared and its head dives right at him.

The shore was caressed by the waves, and there was still a search going on. Two hours ago, a fierce battle emerged, which even somehow affected the weather generating a powerful storm. But as soon as the creature died, the storm slowly tapered off. But Naruto was no where to be found. That is, until a little girl shouted for help, and other search parties ran, and found a sword, a shield, and a boy clad in a green tunic. Naruto was still out of it and Anko though tit was best to bring Naruto back to the village for better treatment. Thankfully, Anko and the team knew of Midna, so she was able to warp them to Konoha faster, once of course they had left the village, Isaribi going with them to find a better home (and hopefully get cured by Lady Tsunade).
Ever since the incident in Umi a month back, things have once again calmed down. Isaribi was rescued, but Amachi perished by Naruto's sword. The girl was brought back to Konoha, where she was going under Tsunade's treatment, to at least hopefully reverse whatever Orochimaru has done to the poor girl. But the day today would soon be interrupted.
"Do it," said Lansing who smiled wickedly.
His infantry raise their arrows, all with bombs attached. They released the strings, and the Bomb Arrows whizzed through the air. The village was rudely interrupted of their midday doings by ringing explosions. Lansing cackled and vanished, as Kumo orders the dark army to attack. On the other side of the village outside the walls, black fires were present, as the small army here was incinerated. If there was a survivor, it would have seen the gaze of red eyes, and a gleaming silver blade of a katana.
It was not Orochimaru, or any other enemy villages that was attacking Konoha once word spread forth: it was the Twilight King, and he brought with him the low level of dark shadow creatures he could materialize with his power. Instantly, the village, on red alert, went to combat against these creatures, while all others were to lead the civilians to safety. In another area of the village, Naruto was taking out Kargarocs that swooped down from the air, dropping bombs or attacking fleeing people. He was not alone: Temari and Tenten were there as well.
"Girls, go and help anyone nearby!" Naruto yelled, and then sprinted off without giving them a chance to respond.
Just as Naruto turned the corner, he had jumped back just as a sword nearly pierced him in the chest. Stepping from view was Darknut Kumo. "Well, well, well, what do we have here... a wandering Hero?" Naruto just knew the man behind the mask was grinning.
Naruto was glad he remained armed today, as he drags out his sword and shield. Kumo however chuckled, and vanished in a bolt of lightning. Confused, Naruto turned around... only to see a mirror image of him, from a tinted gray mirror surrounded by a hellish woodwork that was a dark purple with hints of red and orange. The mirror image of him suddenly sneered, freaking Naruto out as he backed away. The mirror shattered as soon as his duplicate stepped into the real world. The clone was complete down to the last detail; however the colors had been changed to tones of gray and black. The eyes had no pupils, glowed a fierce red instead, the skin tone was a dark gray to near coal black, and the hair color now 40% gray instead of sun kissed blonde. And Naruto knew that whatever trickery this was, he wasn't going to survive without a fight. As he prepared himself, so did his shadow.
"Naruto!"
"No!" He yelled, knowing it was Tenten and Temari who had come to help him, "Go help the others!"
Dark Naruto gained a bloodthirsty smile, and spoke with a dark tone. "Die!"
Dark Shadow Uzumaki Naruto
Naruto brought his sword up to block the overhead chop from the dark counterpart, before leaping back as he released into a side swing.
"Naruto!"
"I said get! Save those who need rescue!" He shouted, and uses the strength in his legs to back flip several times from the repeated slashes by Dark Naruto.
"C'mon Panda girl," Temari said, and rushed off. Tenten followed but not without giving Naruto one last look. Naruto caught the emotion in her eyes, and gave her a soft smile. She was then off, chasing after Temari.
They shot towards one another with quick feet, blades poised, and then a blinding flash of light erupted when they collided in the center. Blades clashed, the two swordsmen trying to bypass the other's defense. Each time the blades clashed, sparks would fly. They kicked away only to end up in another stalemate. Dark Naruto suddenly swept his leg, tripping Naruto, who rolled to dodge the stab and trip Dark Naruto, whom evaded a forward thrust and downward slash attack. Naruto kicked Dark Naruto across the skull whilst kicking back into a spiral. Dark Naruto got back up and clenched his fist. An aura of malice springs forth creating a blade made almost like that of black fire. Armed with two swords of a different nature, he charged and unleashed a kinetic energy wave with a blast of flames arcing out like shockwaves. Naruto rolled to the side to evade the attack, and charged rapidly slashing with his blade. Dark Naruto was blocking most of the strikes with the physical blade, and then slashed across the light teen's chest. He seemed to have Shunshin away, reappearing behind to lunge, but was caught and sent into an arm drag.
Dark Naruto Shunshin before he could be struck down. He reappeared overhead, and with a battle cry called forth magic. Naruto dashed to avoid getting impaled by large spikes of ice that shatter a few seconds after drilling into the ground a couple inches. Dark Naruto then dropped like a stone block, generating a shockwave of kinetic energy that knocked the light teen off guard who then quickly recovered (Can't say the same with the surroundings, getting property damage). Their blades clashed soon after, Dark Naruto locked in a stalemate. Naruto however proved to be quicker as he tripped the dark teenager with a sweep of his leg, and with the sword released a Kaze Kiwa (Wind Edge). The ending factor of this grueling battle which dragged on for another four minutes, was the finishing blow of Morigari no Kanketsusen (Uprush of the Geyser). The darkness that was him roared with a near alien-like tone. Naruto swore and ran for cover behind a discarded fruit stand, before the darkness exploded into a black haze. The shockwave that was emitted shattered glass within the short vicinity, before the dark haze evaporated into nothingness. Dark Naruto is defeated.
"Damn..." He panted. As Naruto gathered himself in the empty streets from his rough fight, weapons put away, he heard the sound of one man's applause echoing from all around. Stepping forth from twilight was Lansing. And he was smiling, as well as a mad man could. He was sporting a few battle wounds, and Naruto felt another battle commencing.
