Kenta: Welcome back once more! I've been going back to re-write all of the old chapters so that they make more sense with the story, so here we are!

To new readers, I had gotten up to about chapter fifteen before going back to update from the Prologue to about Chapter Seven, when Naruto enters the Forest Temple, so that instead of Naruto getting the Hero's clothes from Ordana, which is how I put it the first time through, he gets the outfit after saving Faron, which is how I SHOULD have written it.

To older readers, I know the old chapters were kind of confusing, and now that I've got a good grip on where the story will go things are starting to clear up, so please, after I finish updating (I'll put it on the newest chapter once I've finished updating) please go back to re-read the story. I'm sorry you end up doing this, as I should have gotten it right the FIRST time, but please, it will make MUCH more sense the second time around. Sorry everyone!

This will be the Legend, or key, for the story. Still think that Legend suits it better in this case. :D

"Ramen..." = Talk :)

'Raaaaaameeeeeen...' = Thought |D

"I want ramen NOW!" = Emotional talk |:(

Twilight Realm words or sound effects, such as:

GROOOWWLLLL "I'm HUNGRY!" X(

"YIP! YIP!" = Talk in the Twilight Realm O_o; (You'll get it soon enough)

"Are you kidding me? Are you REALLY that stupid?" = Midna Speak. {/-};

Naruto sat in the fields of Asuma's ranch, dreaming about the trip he was going to be making in a few hours. Epona sat next to him, sleeping peacefully while Naruto whistled her favorite tune on a green leaf. He had gotten pretty good at playing a grasswhistle, but the sound of Asuma coming up to him made him stop playing.

"What's up Asuma?" Naruto asked, still leaning against the horse.

"Don't you have to go to the Castle soon?" Naruto nodded excitedly, his face beaming. "Well why don't we call it a day and let you and Epona get some rest, eh? Let's wrap things up early today." Naruto eagerly nodded before patting Epona, trying to wake the horse up. The animal merely snorted, too comfortable to get up.

"Come on Epona, let's finish up and then you can go to sleep, all right?" Naruto tried to convince the horse. He got a tail flopped into his face. "Eponaaaa..." Naruto growled, his eye twitching. He knew the horse was grinning as it soon got up, allowing Naruto to hop onto it's saddle. "Smart aleck."

Whap!

"HEY!"

In a matter of minutes all the goats were back in the barn, safe and sound. "All right Asuma, see you later!" Naruto called out as he and Epona began heading back to the village.

"Thanks Naruto! Enjoy the trip!" Asuma waved before turning to head inside. Naruto started Epona on a light trot, enough to get her over the gate that Asuma had set up so that the goats wouldn't escape. As Epona jumped over the fence, the horse hit it's leg on the tip of the fence, a dull THUNK sounding. Naruto turned around in his seat, wondering if he heard something.

"Maybe it was just my imagination." Naruto said shaking his head. Epona knew how much Naruto wanted to go on this trip, so she just trotted along like nothing happened, ignoring the small pain on its hoof. As Naruto got into the village, he began passing by the Mayor's house. "Evening Chief!" Naruto said, snapping a salute to Bo.

"Ah, Naruto. Coming back from helping out Asuma huh?" The mayor said as he crossed his arms, grinning at Naruto. The boy had helped out alot in the village. He would be missed for awhile.

"Yep! Gotta get ready for tomorrow!" He grinned excitedly. Bo motioned for Naruto to come over to him.

"Come here Naruto, I want to show you where you're going." The blonde haired young man nodded before dismounting from Epona. He started walking with Bo as he pulled out a map of Hyrule. At that moment a pink-haired girl walked out of the Mayor's house. She was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and a light brown skirt, a small bag attatched to the skirt.

"Hey dad, I'm going over to...Ino's...house." She slowed down as she caught sight of Epona. She giggled as she skipped over to the horse and started rubbing her hand on the horse's mane, Naruto still talking to the Chief.

"So you see Naruto, the bridge on this side of Hryule Market is down. Bunch of monsters or something blowing it up or something, we don't know, but-

"WHAT IS THIS?" Sakura suddenly screeched out.

Naruto and Bo jumped at the outburst and turned to see Sakura stomping up to Naruto before slapping him straight across the face. The impact could be heard all over the village, and Naruto just stared at her with wide-eyes.

"S-sakura?" Naruto stuttered out, still shocked that she just came up and slapped him. Sure, he had been stupid before and she had bopped him on the head for it, but what did he do THIS time?

"HOW COULD YOU HURT EPONA! YOU'RE THE MOST IRRITATING, DISRESPECTFUL, UNGRATEFUL, SELFISH LITTLE BRAT IN THE ENTIRE VILLAGE!" Sakura screeched at Naruto. Naruto and Bo could only stare at her in shock, but Sakura, still fuming, took Epona's reigns and started leading her away. "C'mon Epona, Let's get you healed up." The two could only watch as Sakura and Epona disappeared out of sight behind a rocky cliff near the entrance of the village.

"Oh no...You still have to get the sword, and now Epona's gone...At this rate, the gift will NEVER get delivered on time!" Bo said in a worried tone. Naruto sighed before turning to the mayor.

"I'll get her back, don't worry. I'm not gonna blow this." Naruto said before running after the two. Naruto got to the springs to find the gate locked, Sakura and Epona on the other side. After hearing Sakura screeching about how he was too immature and irresponsible to handle Epona, Naruto turned to see Inari standing just out of sight.

"N-naruto, I heard from my dad that you were going to Hyrule Castle to deliver the sword, and you need Epona to get there on time, right?" Inari nervously asked. Naruto nodded before Inari half-smiled. "Why don't I try talking to Sakura? While I'm doing that, you could crawl through that hole over there, it leads to the Springs." Naruto grinned before ruffling Inari's head.

"You're one smart kid, you know that?" Inari blushed under the praise. So Naruto ran around to the hole while Inari started trying to talk Sakura out of keeping Epona. When Naruto finally got into the springs, Sakura sighed before unlocking the gate and letting Inari in.

"I'm still not letting you have Epona." Sakura declared. Naruto and Inari's eyes widened in shock.

"Why not?" Naruto yelled out. "She's not even YOUR horse!" He growled. Naruto had had enough of Sakura's 'Gimme Gimme!' attitude. Sakura scrunched her face up.

"BUT SHE SHOULD BE MINE! I don't see how in the world YOU got her!" She screeched. Naruto's temper was starting to wear thin. He wanted to just pick her up and throw her CLEAR across Hyrule. He was SO close to snapping! "AND you don't even treat her right! You make her hurt herself of purpose! YOU-"

Before she could say anything else, the gate was blasted open. An Orc-like creature ran in and tried swinging a club down on Naruto's head, but because of Sakura's rant on how he should treat his horse, Naruto had finally snapped.

WHAM!

Naruto looked up, his eyes seemingly slit. Behind him the creature had been imbedded into the wall, creating a crater, courtesy of Naruto's fist that he had slammed back at just that moment.

"I TRY TO HURT HER? IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK I DO?" Naruto roared out, having COMPLETELY lost it. Before he could continue his rarely seen tantrum, two more orc-creatures rode in on a large boar and knocked Naruto out with a blow to the head. As Naruto fell to the ground, Sakura and Inari were already running from the creatures, but were soon knocked out as well. A man came riding into the springs on a boar, grinning. He had red hair, black outlined eyes, and a red symbol tattooed onto his forehead. The figure grinned sadistically and pulled out a strange looking horn. He took a deep breath before he blew into it, a strange sound emerging from it. If Naruto was still consious, he would have covered his ears in pain. The strange Raccoon-looking man then gave the signal to retreat, but stared oddly as he noticed one of his minions embedded four inches into the wall.

He had three of the other minions take him and bring him along with them, scaring the horse off while they were at it, before they all ran out accross the bridge and past a strange black and orange wall. Naruto woke up, feeling like he had four bricks thrown at his head in rapid succession.

"Sunnuva bitch...what the hell hit me, a fricken goat?" He looked around and noticed he was in the springs before the memories of Sakura and the others were brought into his mind. "Sakura..." He growled, but quickly realized they were not currently in the springs with him. He turned around and found a crater in the wall in the shape of a wierd creature and ran over to it. Out of the corner of his eye, Naruto noticed a tall black wall accross the bridge. He suddenly felt something pulling him towards it, and ran to the wall. As he walked up to it, he began to feel strange. As if something was growling in his stomach, yet he wasn't hungry. As Naruto got closer, a hand suddenly flew out of the wall and grabbed Naruto and lifted him off his feet.

With a scream of terror, Naruto was dragged into the wall.

Twilight Realm

Naruto was dragged up to a black, terrifying monster. It had no eyes, no face, just a plate-like head. It's jet-black hair stuck out in the back, and it's body was covered in red, odd looking lines. Naruto struggled to get out of the creatures grip, but was quickly failing, miserably. The creature raised its other hand and was just about to squeeze Naruto's head to puddy so it would stop struggling. It had done so to just about anything else and they stopped moving, so why not this creature? B just as it was about to wrap a hand around Naruto's head, his left hand suddenly started glowing. The creature screemed out in pain before flinging Naruto away.

Naruto rolled on the ground away from the creature before coming to a stop, coughing. When he tried standing up, he fell forward onto his hands and knees, gasping for air. He could feel his head starting to sway and his breathing becoming heavy. It was as if he was being choked by an invisible force. He could barely keep himself on his hands and knees when a searing pain erupted from his stomach, causing the blonde to scream out in pain.

"GYAAAAAHHHH!"

A flash of light blinded the area and when it died down, a dark Blue fox stood in Naruto's place. The fox had a strange symbol on it's forehead, and on it's left paw the three golden glowing triangles dimmed down to a dull greyish yellow. However, the strangest thing of all about the fox were the nine-tailes swaying behind him. Naruto collapsed onto the ground before the creature slowly crept up to him, not sure if it was going to change on it again. After making sure it wasn't going to move, the creature began to drag Naruto towards it's next destination.

In the background, a black and grey imp looked at the fox, a playful gleam in it's lonely visible eye. It stealthily began following after the creature, not once getting spotted.

Kenta: Short chapter, yes, but I have to stop it here so I can do the whole, 'Prison escape' in one chapter.

I had originally planned a grey fox with one tail, but that wouldn't go along with Naruto's whole, Nine-Tailed Fox theme. C'mon, you didn't actually think I would leave out the Kyuubi, did you? HAHAHAHAHAAA! REDICULOUS!

As you've already read, Naruto is a blue fox with the same symbol that wolf Link has on his forehead, I just can't describe it that well. I can't do an orange fox, it'd ruin the...wait, I'm going to stop right there. Don't want to ruin the surprise! : P

Anyway, I don't really like Ilia. I mean, I remember watching my older brother play it once, (before he sold our old Wii) and saw her give Link the horse flute near the end of the game, making it completely USELESS! So I think so anyway...

I know Link uses a certain grass (I think it was horse-grass) to call Epona, however I like the idea of Naruto using either a leaf or a blade of grass to call Epona. Besides, Naruto's pretty much a part of nature, (Now more so than before) so of course he should be able to use a grasswhistle!

Laters!
