Kenta: Phew! This was the BIGGEST pain in the behind to update. NEARLY FIVE THOUSAND WORDS people...

Anyway, I feel like I'm getting this story where it should be, making everything add up again. Right now it's like 2 + 2 = ramen...wait, that's Naruto logic...

Naruto woke up groaning. He hurt all over, but his right arm was killing him the most. He looked up to see a room of some kind, grey bricks everywhere. Naruto blinked, trying to see clearly. Really? A GREY room? Someone either REALLY liked the color, or the person had no fashion sense whatsoever. Great, Ino had been blabbing to him about designs and stuff for WAY too long, now he sounded like a wierdo.

Naruto brought a hand up to his eyes and tried rubbing them, hoping to clear his blurry vision, but instantly froze. His hands felt fluffy and he also felt something fuzzy on his face, which wasn't supposed to be fuzzy unless you count someone having a beard, which he did not have. Naruto looked down and, much to his shock, saw a PAW where his hand should be. He then noticed his entire BODY had changed from a normal human to a fox. A blue, nine-tailed fox. This was anything BUT normal. So only one question was in Naruto's head at this moment.

...WHAT THE HELL DID HE EAT LAST NIGHT?

Oh, wait, that's right. He was dragged into that strange wall and was thrown back by something...but what happened next? Naruto tried to rid himself of the pain that was coming from his right arm...er, paw, and saw a chain connecting him to the floor. Naruto tried tugging at the chain, still shocked at everything that had just happened. Was he in jail? WHY was he in jail? Did he do something bad? WAS TURNING INTO A FOX ILLEGAL? CRAP! HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE DID IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! After a few minutes of freaking out, Naruto started to hyperventilate, but he felt his ear twitch, having heard a sound.

Turning to the jail door, he looked around to find nobody there. Naruto shook his head. He could have sworn he heard something. He started pulling at the chain again, wondering how in the hell he was going to get out of this mess. Sure he had gotten into trouble before, like when he threw Kakashi's favorite book into the lake. Now THAT was funny, but he ended up staying away from Kakashi for like, two days. That guy did NOT sleep when he was mad. Naruto smirked as he continued to tug at the chain before his ear twitched again. There was that sound again! It sounded almost like...giggling?

Was someone laughing at him? Naruto turned around, trying to locate the sound when he was suddenly tackled to the side. When Naruto's eyes stopped spinning, he turned to see a little imp, snuggling his side with a smile on its face. It opened its lone eye, and Naruto nearly had a panic attack.

"KAKASHI! KAKASHI'S OUT TO GET ME FOR THROWING HIS BOOK INTO THE LAKE! I'M SORRY KAKASHI! I JUST MEANT IT AS A JOKE!" However not one word from that train of thought escaped as an actual word, instead coming out as a series of yips and barks. The imp looked at the fox oddly, trying to figure out what it said while Naruto was freaking out, clutching a paw to his throat.

'I can't talk, I somehow lost my body, and now I look like a fox. A freaking, NINE-TAILED FOX! What the hell did I get myself into...wait a minute...SAKURA! This is all HER fault! If it wasn't for her taking Epona none of this would have happened! Wait a minute, EPONA! Crap! I lost her!'

The imp watched the blue fox in amusement as reactions and faces reeled off of it's face. Panic, rage and then more panic. Naruto continued to try and piece together what was going on when the imp suddenly spoke. "Heheh, I bet you're wondering where you are now..." This caught Naruto's attention. The fox looked up to see the imp grinning, a certain gleam in it's eye. "Well, I COULD help you out...if you listen to me."

'Definitely NOT Kakashi.' Naruto thought, calming himself down. A dark sphere suddenly appeared in between the imp's hands before she suddenly swiped her arms outwards, the chain suddenly breaking. Naruto slightly jumped back by the sudden snao, but quickly looked up to see the imp floating over to the gates. The imp phased through the bars as if they weren't there, making Naruto stare at her in awe. The imp turned around to see the fox with it's jaw basically on the ground, prompting her to giggle. Naruto's ears perked up. He recognized that giggle...so SHE was the one that was laughing at him earlier! He twitched in annoyance but perked his ears up again as she spoke.

"If you can find a way out of there, I'll tell you where you are...maaaaybe." She giggled, waiting to see what the fox would do.

Naruto looked around. There seemed to be boxes everywhere, but nothing that he could use to break down the bars. Then he remembered that the imp had floated through the bars. Grinning, Naruto turned towards the space where the imp had phased through. The imp looked at the fox, wondering what it was doing when the fox suddenly charged at her!

CLANG!

The fox teetered back and forth, stars spinning around it's head as the imp just looked at the fox before falling onto the ground, laughing.

"Y-YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT THE BARS WERE FAKE! HAHAHAHAHAAA!" Naruto finally calmed his spinning head before glaring at the imp. He then started looking around the cell, ignoring the snickering of the imp as well as the subtle, "Don't go hitting a wall or something now, little fox...(giggle)"

Naruto found a pile of boxes near the bars and pushed them out of the way to reveal an area that had soft dirt. Naruto sniffed at it before trying to dig through it. He kept digging until he pushed up and dug out of the hole. Naruto then shook his fur and looked around.

'The imp...it's gone? No...'

He then sniffed the air before his eyes widened. The imp suddenly landed on his back harshly making Naruto flop onto the ground, still not used to being a fox. He glared at the imp on his back before lashing around, trying to get her off of his back. The imp grabbed his ear, causing Naruto to wince in pain.

"Listen, if you want to get out of here, you'll need my help. So that means you'll have to do as I say, got it?"

Naruto growled, but then calmed himself down. He didn't know where he was, so he might as well just go along with it all. He then stood up when the imp scooted up along his back. Naruto twitched, a blush on his face.

'That...felt wierd.' He thought as he invuluntarily shivered. The imp stared at the fox in confusion.

"You're cold? You've got a freaking fur coat! How can you be cold?" Naruto shook his head, ridding himself of the thought before looking back at the imp. He raised a furry eyebrow at the imp, prompting her to look around before pointing down the hall. Naruto ran down it and the imp slightly pulled on his right shoulder, signaling he go right. It was either that or she was about to fall off. Naruto and the imp continued on this way for awhile, before Naruto stopped. The area looked to be a sewer and the smell didn't do anything to change his opinion. Naruto shivered once more, which caused the imp to sigh.

"I swear, you're the wierdest animal I've ever met!"

'Like hell I'm an animal, I'm a freaking HUMAN!' Naruto mentally retorted. After taking a disgustingly cold swim, Naruto got to a spiral staircase and looked up...and up...and up.

That was a long way up...

"Okay, we need to get out of this prison, so let's get going!" The imp said kicking Naruto's sides. The fox growled at her before he started running up the stairs. There was a small gap to the next part of the stairs, but it looked like he could jump it. Naruto slightly backed up before running towards the edge. With as much strength as he could, Naruto jumped. Just as he was about to land on the other side, the stairway piece gave away. Naruto barely caught himself as he landed in the water. He half wished it was fuller than this so if he fell it wouldn't hurt as badly as hitting the hard cement.

"What are you doing? Ugh...looks like I'll have to do everything for you. All right, head back up and I'll show you where safe footing is." The imp said. Naruto, while quite irritated with how the imp was talking down to him, also felt a bit guilty. It was true, the imp HAD been doing alot of the work. Sure, it wasn't running or anything, but it was showing him the way, which was better than just hitching a ride. Man that felt wierd to referring to himself like a horse...he would have to be nicer to Epona later...

Naruto quietly nodded before running back up the stairway. He stopped in front of the now MUCH larger gap and saw the imp float across the way. Now to normal people, seeing this thing float over a hole was quite terrifying, and the thought of jumping across a gap this large was even MORE frightening. Yet, for some reason, Naruto felt as if he had jumped much larger distances...

His head suddenly throbbed and the mark on his left paw started glowing again.

"C'mon Naruto! Hurry up!" A voice shouted.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked around. He was in some kind of forest...much greener than Ordon. He looked ahead and gasped. In front of him were Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They were all wearing wierd clothes and they all had some kind of headband around their foreheads. Naruto looked around before he looked at himself. He was wearing an Orange and Blue jumpsuit, had a wierd pouch on near his waist, and he also had two more blue, smaller pouches on his right leg. He also had a similar headband on, one that had a leaf-like design on a metal plate. He also looked like he was back when he was 13.

"Naruto! Snap out of it! We're on a mission!" Kakashi called out to him. Kakashi was wearing a green vest with a bunch of different pouches on it and had blue pants. The shoulder of the shirt he was wearing had a red spiral on it. Naruto looked up before nodding. He then focused his Chakra to his feet and practically flew ten feet in a single jump. He then started jumping from tree-branch to tree-branch just like the rest of his ninja squad before he made it to a large ravine. The group looked ahead to see a bandit running off with some stolen jewelry on the other side of the ravine. Naruto, being the 'jump first and think later' kind of guy, loaded Chakra into his feet before launching himself clear across the ravine, straight at the bandit.

Unfortunately, Naruto used too much chakra and over-shot the bandit, crashing into a tree. However, he made an excellent distraction for the rest of his Genin team to catch the bandit and knock him unconscious. Naruto got up and slowly wobbled back to his group, his head spinning. Kakashi merely chuckled at his effort, while Sasuke did his usual, "Hnn." Sakura on the other hand was much more direct.

"You idiot! What were you thinking? Leave that stuff to Sasuke-kun!" She shrieked out. Naruto inwardly sighed, but didn't show it. Instead, he frowned and turned his head to the side.

"Hey! I actually ACTED! Unlike Saasuke over there who just stayed with everybody else!"

"Hnn, whatever loser." Sasuke said cooly, Sakura drooling over his cool act. As Sasuke lifted the bandit over his shoulder, Sakura picked up the jewels, eying them dangerously. Meanwhile, Kakashi walked up to Naruto.

"Don't worry about what they say. If it wasn't for you distracting him, it would have taken MUCH longer to catch him. You really helped out on the mission!" Kakashi said giving Naruto an eye-smile. Naruto smiled back to Kakashi thankfully.

"Thanks Kakashi-sensei." He said before running to catch up with the rest of his squad.

Naruto slowly got back up, the pain in his head now reduced to a dull throb and the mark on his paw dim. He looked ahead to see the imp waiting impatiently.

"Well? What's the hold-up?" Naruto looked around to find himself back in the dungeon stairway. He then looked ahead and grinned. Before he saw that, he was afraid of jumping. But now, he was excited to try it.

He tried to summon the energy to his four paws. It took him a few moments, but he felt it! It was like getting an adrenaline rush, just ten times better! He ignored the fact that it might be EXACTLY like an adrenaline rush and make him extremely tired later and looked ahead towards the other side before grinning.

'Let's see how this goes!'

With great ease, Naruto jumped clear across the 7 foot gap, flying over the head of the imp. Naruto skidded to a halt, grinning as he loved the feeling. It was like he was part of the wind! He then remembered how Kakashi looked. It reminded him of something, no, someONE. He knew he'd seen the outfit before, he had even heard the person's voice, but he couldn't see his face. Naruto remembered...he was the one who had given him his name. He shook his head as the imp landed on his back again. He had more important things to do now. Although he was quite happy with learning that little trick. He wondered if he'd be able to do that when he got back to his human form. That's right, WHEN he got back to his original form. He'd find a way. There was nothing that would stop him from getting it back.

He ignored the string of questions from the imp, including, "How'd you do that? You pretty much flew clear over my head!" Naruto reached the top of the stairwell to find a bunch of wierd, deformed bats. He snarled, showing his fangs to the keese, who paid no attention and attacked him anyway. Naruto bit, hacked, and slashed his way through the group and finally cleared the area. Naruto grinned. Man, he was such a BADASS as a fox! And he thought he liked foxes BEFORE.

Eventually, Naruto got out of the dungeon, and the imp lead him to a tower. He had gotten to a room when he saw someone in a cloak. He silently crept up to the figure, eying it wearily. Suddenly the figure gasped. It turned around and looked at the blue fox that was now crouched and growling, fangs bared. The cloaked figure bent down, before saying in a gentle, caring voice.

"It's all right. I'm not going to hurt you." It said. Naruto stopped growling, and slowly walked up to the figure. Said figure noticed the imp on Naruto's back, and gasped.

"Midna?" Naruto's ears perked up. He turned his neck to look at the imp on his back, who merely turned around before resting its head on its hand.

"I'm amazed you actually remembered my name. Such an honor, Twilight Princess." Midna chuckled. The princess sighed before turning to the blue, nine-tailed fox.

"So, YOU are the legendary creature..." Naruto looked around, trying to figure out if the lady was talking to Midna or him. When he realized it was him, he laid down, careful not to drop Midna onto the floor and looked up at the princess. "So you know nothing of why you're as you are?"

Naruto shook his head no.

The Princess then pulled back her hood, revealing a woman in her early twenties, had long blonde hair and a tiara. Naruto stared at her in surprise, wondering who in the world she was. Twilight Princess? He doubted that was her real name. didn't mean she wasn't a princess though...wait a minute, there's only ONE princess in the land of Hyrule, and that's...

"I am Zelda. Princess of Hyrule." Zelda said in a solomn voice. Naruto's ears shot up. He suddenly started grinning.

'That means that I'm in...HYRULE! Sweet! I made it! but...CRAP! I DON'T HAVE THE SWORD!' Naruto began whimpering and hung his head in defeat as he realized he screwed up his job. Zelda and Midna looked at him, confused, before looking at each other and shrugging. Zelda then explained why the land was covered in Twilight.

~30 minutes later~ (I don't want to go into detail about how Zant came around and made Zelda surrender and yadda yadda yadda. We'll just skip it. Let's just say Zelda tells Naruto why he is a fox just like she tells Link how he turned into a wolf, okay?)

Naruto sat back up after the Princess was finished.

"Now, you have to leave, before the guard makes his round. I can't have you two getting caught." She then knelt down to the fox. "I'd like to know your name, is there any way you can tell me?" Naruto looked around, searching for some kind of way to tell her. He found a book and dragged it over to her. He had the same book back at his house, and it had the picture of ramen on it, with naruto in it. Naruto then pointed to the topping, and Zelda looked back up to him.

"Ramen?" Naruto shook his head and pointed to the picture again, trying to point out the topping. Midna looked over Naruto's head at the picture and grinned.

"Naruto huh?" Naruto swung his head up and down, causing Zelda to smile before picking up the book and putting it back.

"Thank you, Naruto. Good luck on your quest." Naruto nodded before turning to leave. He stopped when he noticed Midna was still floating there, looking out the window. He watched her for a moment, before Zelda walked over to Naruto.

"Please, try and keep her safe." She whispered to him.

Naruto nodded before walking over to the imp. He looked up at her, wondering what she was staring at. She may be a pain, but she did get him out of the dungeon...despite all of the setbacks. Midna was still spacing out, watching the clouds roll by. Naruto shook his head. They weren't done yet, and if he couldn't stare at clouds, NOBODY could. He turned to one of his nine tails before willing it to move the way he wanted it to. It reacted quickly, and Naruto wrapped the tail around the corner of Midna's wierd stone helmet. He pulled the imp back onto his back before nodding.

"You could have just told me we were going..." She grumbled. Naruto merely yipped before he turned to Zelda, nodding at her. Walking out of the room, Midna started stretching. "Well that was boring...so, let's get going before the guard-"

CREAK!

Midna quickly grabbed Naruto's ear, making him stop before looking around.

"There!" She whispered, pointing to an open window. Naruto looked up and nodded. He charged more of that strange energy into his paws and jumped up to the window. He jumped out before walking along the path. Midna suddenly jumped off of him before bouncing over to the corner and turning back to him. "Well, A deals a deal. You helped me, so I'll bring you back to where you first stumbled into the Twilight. But, aren't you forgetting something?" She tapped a finger to her chin before she started spinning around, turning herself into Inari, Moegi and then Sakura. Naruto's eyes widened as his ears perked up.

"You want to save them, don't you?" She said talking with Sakura's voice. She then put her hands in one of the poses Sakura loved doing, which, in turn, only made Naruto growl. Midna looked at the fox in shock but put it off to the side for a later thought for her to explore. "Anyway, I'm sure you want to save them." 'maybe not the girl...' "So I'll help you. I'll let you think about it though." She said before turning back to normal.

Naruto felt his anger slip away before Midna snapped her fingers. Naruto blinked, wondering what she did before he suddenly was taken apart from head to paw and disappeared all-together. Midna giggled before disappearing herself.

Ordon Springs

Naruto appeared above the springs before yelping as he dropped to the ground from his previous position, 10 feet up in the air. After Naruto got up, he slowly shook his head before he realized he was still a fox. He heard Midna giggling before looking around for the voice, which seemed to be coming from every direction.

"Heheheh, what's that look for? You may have left the Twilight, but you're still in your fox form. I wonder why? Good luck!"

Naruto looked around, trying to find out where the voice was coming from, but couldn't find out where. He shook his head before heading towards the town. As he was leaving, his shadow suddenly jumped out in front of him, causing Naruto to yelp out in surprise before noticing it was Midna, just pitch-black, save for her eye. Naruto took a deep breath, calming himself. He then glared at the imp, signalling she tell him the reason she scared the snakes out of him.

Midna giggled. "What? You didn't think I just LEFT did you? Sorry, but you still gotta help me out. Besides, if you want to rescue your friends, you'll need my help. To get back into the Twilight Realm, you need someone FROM the Twilight Realm, like ME! So you really have no choice but to do as I say." She grinned evilly. Naruto sighed as he shook his head. She was REALLY good with all these stupid conditions, wasn't she? Naruto nodded his head. "All right. I'll need a sword and a shield. Go find them, otherwise you'll just prove you're even MORE useless than you already are."

Naruto growled at the imp, but the many years of developing his patience was paying off. He expected the imp to jump on his back like she usually did, but instead, she became his shadow once more. Naruto wondered what in the world she was doing, but left her alone. He didn't need to ask her anything, and if she was quiet, he'd be REALLY happy. He turned to walk back to the village, but two things caught his eye.

He looked at his shadow to see his shadow was in the form of a fox, but with Midna somehow riding on his back again, as if she were really there. It confused Naruto, seeing as he didn't feel her on his back, but he just put it under the 'Wierd things about Midna and the Twilight Realm' catagory of his mind. He also noticed the crater that he had noticed before getting dragged into the Twilight Realm.

'I wonder who did that?' He wondered before trotting towards the village.

Kenta: Okay, I was half-tempted to change Zelda into Shion, from Naruto Shippuuden: The Movie, but decided not to. I want to keep Zelda and Ganondorf, since they're classic characters.

Anyway, like you read earlier, Naruto HAS lived another life. The one everyone has come to know and love from the ACTUAL Manga and Anime, it's just he doesn't remember. He'll slowly regain his memory, it'll just take a couple of hundred Chapters. :P

Oh, and as Suicune132 said, as there are EPIC battles involved in The legend of Zelda series, I will try my best to try and replicate my battles as I play them. They may not all be great, but most likely I will have Seperate Chapters for each Boss Battle, so hopefully I can keep enough of the battle in my mind to type it. I will at least fight the boss twice, cuz' one it's fun to fight them, and two I'll remember key things about the fight for the story.

Naruto's ability to use his chakra, (IT REPLACES MAGIC!) EPIC Boss Battles, Comedy every now and again, a little itty-bitty romance, NARUTO character appearences, and remembering Naruto's past life...

THAT is what you'll find in 'The Legend of Naruto' Series. I'm only going to do just ONE Legend of Naruto story at a time though, so after Twilight Princess maybe I'll do Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker.

Later!
