Kenta: Okay! Super special update for Thanksgiving! I finished all of my recent school projects, so now I think I should start working on TLoN and Hanyou Shinigami. Whew! Been awhile since I was really able to work on my stories. I've been trying to carry around notebooks so I can write down more of my stories or add ideas, but so far it hasn't really worked out. Heheheh, oh well. Thank you all so much for all of the 'Favorite Story', 'Story Alert' and Reviews! It makes a writer smile.
Hope you guys enjoy! And I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!
P.S.: Ultimate-Zelda-Fan asked why my chapters were so short. Well, I figure it's best to have boss battles and such as one big, long chapter. Sorry if I put too many small chapters in here...but this chapter is a boss chapter, so it's really long! Well...a lot longer than usual.

Aw hell...that's one big drop!
Naruto swallowed heavily as he looked into the dark chasm below him. Off to his right, there were a bunch of platform-like mushrooms growing on the side of the room. Below him was...nothing...except black...across the room was a giant lock, most likely what his new key would fit into. Sighing, Naruto looked behind him where, basically, an army of monkeys stared at him. The group of tree swingers hopped over to the tree-growing fungi and began clapping happily. Naruto wondered if he should try and use his chakra to jump, but somehow doubted he would make it. The squeaking of the monkeys made him turn to them, as they all began to climb the tree the fungi sprouted from. Curious as to what they were doing, Naruto watched as they began hanging off of a tree branch that had become part of the ceiling. One after another, the monkeys climbed down each other until they created, what looked like, a giant chain of monkeys. The monkey at the top of the chain rocked its legs and began swinging the chain of monkeys back and forth until Naruto realized that they wanted him to use them as a sort of rope.
Well, let's see how this goes!
Naruto waited until the monkeys were reaching the other side of the chasm before he started running towards them.
"HAAA!" Naruto jumped from his platform, falling towards the darkness below him.
A panicked feeling hit Naruto as he didn't think the monkeys would get to him in time.
Did I go too early?
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief as the monkey that was with Konohamaru grabbed his arm. It was actually a really strong grip, which, although it shocked him, he was quite grateful for. The chain swung back towards the locked door when Naruto heard something. Looking up, Naruto realized that the monkey on top was loosing its grip on the branch.
"SHIT!"
The chain of monkeys began to panic, but Naruto's eyes narrowed. Making the handsign that he had done to focus his chakra, Naruto focused them to his feet. Willing them to stick to the ledge, Naruto slammed his feet onto the side of the ledge before grabbing the leg of the monkey that had caught him before, who caught another monkey, who caught another monkey until they made another chain, this time with Naruto as the support. Naruto groaned as he could feel his feet starting to slip.
"HURRY UP AND CLIMB UP HERE!" Naruto shouted.
The disheveled monkeys calmed down before beginning to climb up past Naruto, just as they had climbed down the tree. When the last monkey reached the safety of the ledge, Naruto felt the monkeys grab his legs and pull him up. Naruto slumped against the wall next to the locked door and began to breath heavily.
"Whoo! (huff) That was, (huff) too close...(huff)" He rasped out.
Midna appeared from his shadow, a demonic look on her face.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN US KILLED!"
Naruto laughed. "Yeah, (huff) but we still, (huff) made it, (huff) didn't we?"
Midna responded by making a strangling motion with her shadowy hands. "If I were solid I'd STRANGLE YOU!"
Naruto laughed again. He turned towards the monkeys before thanking them. The army of apes cheered before hopping back towards, most likely, the exit. Naruto pulled out his red potion before gulping it down. His weary body was healed while Naruto licked his lips.
Tastes like Cherry.
Naruto stood up, accidentally kicking a pot and breaking it. A pink Fairy appeared from the pot and began floating around, a smile on its face as it danced in front of Naruto. The dazed Naruto watched the fairy dance around until Midna growled out "JUST CAPTURE HER ALREADY!"
Naruto panicked and placed the fairy inside of the bottle that he had cleaned with a spare cloth. The fairy looked like it was smiling and continued to dance inside of the bottle. Naruto almost went back into his dazed trance, but a growl from Midna made him quickly put away the bottle, replacing it with the freaky key he had gotten earlier. Staring at the key, the key responded by staring back at him, even blinking.
I still think that's just freaky.
Clicking the key into the giant lock, Naruto shuddered.
I doubt I'll ever get used to, what was supposed to be, an in-animate object staring back at me!
Naruto watched as the series of locks that held the door shut, twisted, turned and opened, making the giant lock fall nearly on top of Naruto. Naruto stared at the giant lock wearily, still freaked out that he was almost flattened by it. The door rumbled open, and Naruto could see the door lead to a darkly-lit hallway before opening up into a brighter area. Naruto trotted down the hall before reaching the lightened room. As he walked further into the room, the door behind him suddenly slammed shut. Naruto jumped before running to the door.
Aw nuts...Guess I'm stuck in here for a little while...
Naruto walked towards the center of the room where a large purple spring was located. Naruto immediately slapped a hand to his now burning nose.
So that's where the poisonous fumes are coming from...but how do I fix it?
Just as Naruto wondered how to purify the spring, a thunderous rumbling shook the ground.
"Wh-what's going on?" Naruto yelled out.
Midna didn't even need to answer him as two giant bokobaba-like creatures erupted from the spring. The two heads hissed and snapped, at first at each other before turning towards Naruto and lunging at him. Naruto jumped out of the way before shaking slightly.
Are these things the reason why the spring is so poisonous?
Naruto waited for one of the plants to try and lunge at him. When the one on the left charged at him, Naruto sidestepped before pulling out his sword and swinging down. His sword bounced off of the hardened vine.
SHIT! It can't cut it!
Naruto jumped out of the way of the other head before trying to figure out what to do next. A sizzling sound reached his ears and Naruto looked behind one of the heads to see one of those bomb-spiders standing on a log. Noticing one of the bokobaba heads almost yawning, Naruto slammed chakra into the medallion he wore before calling out the Gale Boomerang. Throwing it carefully at the spider-bomb, Naruto grinned as it started flying back to him. His eyes caught movement in the corner of his vision however, and jumped back from the other head, its mouth clamping shut trying to eat Naruto, instead eating the Spider. Naruto watched anxiously, hoping it would do the trick. A dull BOOM hit Naruto's ears as the Bokubaba's head expanded for a moment before it withered into the poisonous spring. Naruto grinned as he turned to the remaining head, a dark shadow covering the uppermost portion of his face.
Oh you're goin' down buddy.
The Bokubaba didn't seem to mind that its counterpart had just been blown up. Instead, it charged at Naruto, who quickly dodged before whipping out the Gale Boomerang again and catching another Spider-bomb. Waiting for the head to open its mouth, Naruto tossed up the Spider-bomb before throwing the Gale Boomerang, its course mapped out in his head. The boomerang followed Naruto's mental course, tossing the Spider-bomb into the mouth of the last head. With another dull BOOM as well as the withering of the second head, Naruto jumped up cheering.
"ALL RIGHT! I DID IT!"
His victory dance was short-lived as an even BIGGER rumbling shook the area, easily three times greater than when the two heads appeared. Naruto paled as not only did the two previous Bokobaba heads pop back up from their supposed graves, but a giant flower-like creature appeared as well. In the center of its 'flower' was a single, slit eyeball. It looked around before spotting the pale Naruto. With a loud roar that Naruto found impossible for it to make, since it had no mouth whatsoever, the creature's two tentacles, which apparently were the Bokobaba heads, lashed out at Naruto. The orange tunic-wearing blonde jumped, but gasped as he suddenly coughed up blood and didn't seem to be falling. His vision growing blurry, Naruto looked down to see two vines sticking out from his stomach.
The two vines retracted, leaving a giant hole in Naruto's stomach and letting him hit the ground with a dull THUD!
Ba-bump.
"NARUTO!"
Ba-bump.
Ba-bump.
Shit...I couldn't really have died, could I? I just started this damn thing...Shit.
Ba-bump.
Naruto's world began to fade as he lost more and more blood. The giant flower roared again before lunging in to devour the lifeless body.
CLANG!
The creature was blasted back by a pink sphere of some sort, rendering it, as well as the other two heads, dizzy. Midna wondered what in the world had just happened when Naruto suddenly started floating upwards. The cap of his bottle popped open, freeing the captured fairy before closing itself. The fairy giggled before spinning around Naruto, quickly picking up speed. Midna watched in awe as the blood that Naruto had lost suddenly started floating up from the ground and merging with the open hole in his stomach. The hole sealed itself as the tunic magically began to repair itself. Midna gasped as Naruto's life-less eyes suddenly began to move around with life once more. Looking up, Naruto stared with wide-eyes at the fairy as it giggled at him.
"My name is Shion. I am but a part of the real Shion, the Great Fairy." It said bowing.
"Did...did you just bring me back to life?" Naruto asked, shocked.
The fairy smiled before turning back to the creature.
"That is Diababa. It is a poisonous parasite that has poisoned the forest. It's weak spot is it's eye, but unless you can stun it long enough you won't be able to attack it. You must also watch out for it's other two smaller heads!"
"How do I do that?" Naruto panicked.
"I'm sorry, but I can't stay anymore. Good luck! We shall meet again!" The fairy said as it disappeared.
Naruto turned back to the Diababa before glaring. He may have been revived by the fairy, but now she was gone, which meant no-more second chances. The two heads lunged for him and Naruto jumped again.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE JUST GONNA DIE AGAIN!"
Naruto grinned as he saw the two vines coming behind him once more. His eyes flashing Orange, Naruto's birthmark shone brightly.
"GREAT HURRICANE SPIN!" Naruto roared out as he suddenly started to spin rapidly, creating a tornado-like shield around him.
Midna watched in awe as the moment the vines touched the shield of wind, they were torn to pieces. The Diababa roared out in agony before the vines dropped to the ground, life-less. Staring at him, Midna heard a voice echo.
'That boy has the power to turn failure on its head and come out winning. He never gives up, no matter what the circumstances. It's just how he is.'
Naruto landed on his feet and grinned, his sword shining in his hand.
"PAYBACK YA BASTARD!" Naruto yelled out triumphantly.
A trumpet-like screech was heard in the room. Naruto looked up to see the monkey that had mooned him earlier swinging across the room.
What the hell is it doing?
Naruto watched as it stopped at a small boarded area before calling out in victory. It turned around before holding something up. Naruto squinted to see what it was before suddenly grinning. It was a Spider-bomb!
"ALL RIGHT!"
The monkey began swinging across the room, before tossing the spider-bomb to Naruto. The giant head, instead of paying attention to Naruto, watched the monkey swinging by as it pulled out another spider-bomb. Naruto grinned as he whistled sharply.
"HEY SLIMY HEAD! OVER HERE!"
One of the smaller Bokobaba heads turned to him before yawning, signalling it was about to attack. Naruto focused some chakra into his right arm before throwing the spider-bomb straight into the Bokobaba's mouth. The head exploded before it fell back down into the spring, prompting the other head to look at him. Naruto, however, was already holding another spider-bomb and grinning like fox.
"Payback's a bitch, ain't it?"
BOOM!
Naruto grinned as the other small head exploded before falling into the polluted spring.
The monkey threw one more Spider-bomb before Naruto saw the Diababa turn its attention back to him. Somehow roaring again, Naruto's eyes widened. The Floral piece was open! Charging up one last throw, Naruto chucked the spider-bomb at the Diababa, only for the flower casing to close, protecting the eyeball. Naruto growled before hearing the monkey call out another battle call. Naruto watched as it tossed him two Spider-bombs this time. Naruto grinned as an idea occurred to him. Pulling out the Gale Boomerang once more Naruto tossed one of the Spider-bombs up before throwing the boomerang, its course already plot. The flower creature closed its cap, shielding its eye from the blast once more, but when it opened it back up, Naruto was gone. The monkey clapped in approval, distracting the Diababa from Naruto's new position. On the ceiling. After all, if he could stick to the side of something, couldn't he stick to the ceiling too?
Gotta make this count! Only got one shot at this!
Naruto cocked his arm back before launching the bomb at the parasite before quickly jumping back to where he first was, whistling sharply. The diababa turned to him, not noticing the flying Spider-bomb until it was too late.
BOOM!
Naruto grinned as he saw the Diababa wheeze in pain before slamming down in front of Naruto, it's eye twitching. Naruto quickly un-sheathed his sword before jumping in front of the Parasite. "HAA! HAA! HAAAAAAA!" Naruto slashed horizontally, diagnally and vertically before jumping back, readying his sword and thrusting it towards the monster's eye.
"YOU'RE FINISHED!"
SCHLUCK!
Naruto stood still for a moment before pulling out his sword and jumping back. The Diababa screemed in agony before it suddenly started twitching and slowing, its body becoming blacker and blacker until it stopped moving, almost as black as the sphere Midna had used to free him from the Prison. The creature suddenly exploded into millions of black squares, before slowly moving in front of Naruto. The millions of squares quickly picked up speed until an almost pure black object floated just above Naruto's hands.
What in the world?
Midna suddenly appeared from his shadow, a gleeful look on her face.
"That's it! A Fused Shadow! That's what I've been looking for! Well, a PIECE of it anyway."
What seemed to be her hair, which Naruto now realized was an orange color, (awesome!) grabbed the piece before pulling it back into her helmet thingy.
"All right. We've gotten everything we can here. Not to mention that since you killed that parasite thing the water's all purified now. So let's go! We've still got two more Fused Shadow pieces to find!"
Naruto pouted. He had just died, been brought back to life AND defeated a giant plant, monster thingy, and he was STILL getting bossed around.
Fricken imps...
Naruto sighed before turning around. Smiling, he gave a thumbs-up before walking into the portal Midna created. Ook, the mooning monkey, waved back happily as the blonde was taken apart from head to toe and transported out of the dungeon.
Kenta: Whoohoo! How about that! Not bad for my first written version of a boss battle!
I have to admit, I'm really glad I kept Zelda as Zelda, because Shion being the Great Fairy was just too irrisistible.
By the way, whoever was wondering about why Naruto's eyes turned orange, here's something for you to chew on. What color is the Triforce? What happens when Naruto's beyond pissed? I'll let you guys do the color math.
And yes, I do know that Midna's 'Helmet thingy' is another Fused Shadow. I'm not THAT stupid...
