Kenta: Okay, I'm feeling EPIC right now. I finally bought Twilight Princess and finally beat the Goron Mines, not to mention since I'm now at the Water Temple, or Lakebed Temple, I've got a few more ideas for characters and scenes. Telma, the Zora Prince, The Zora Queen and a few other characters have all been plotted out, so now I'm REALLY anxious to get there.

When I was first writing this story, I had some ideas for some character switchouts, but I felt it would take forever to get there and I would lose inspiration for the story. Now that I've gotten here, I can't wait to continue on with the story!

All I can say about the game is that it is rediculously difficult trying to find your way in the dark, UP A FREAKING WATERFALL!
I fell like seven freaking times... TT^TT

But enough about my stupidity.

On with the story!

Kenta Raikiri

"I am Sasori, and this is my son, Kankuro." The shaman said making a curt bow, his red hair lightly blowing in the wind.

Kankuro nervously shifted behind his father before bowing to Naruto. "N-nice to meet you." Naruto nodded in return.

"Same to you." The blonde then turned back to Sasori. "And thank you for watching the children. The mayor back in Ordon, Bo, once spoke of you. He said you were a very kind and powerful Shaman."

Sasori smiled. "He remembers well." He then pointed a finger behind him to a tall guy with blonde hair and a metal mask above his head. "The guy over there is Deidara. He's a bomb maker." Naruto nodded to him as well. Sasori then gave Naruto a look before thinking.

"Sasori, can I ask a favor?" Naruto suddenly asked.

"And what might that be?"

"I want you to watch the kids for me for a little while longer. Hyrule Field is filled with monsters, and until I can find a way for them to get back safely, I don't think..."

"Say no more." Sasori smiled. "They are safe with me."

"Yeah! Don't worry about us Naruto! We'll be fine!" Konohamaru grinned.

Naruto smiled wearily to them. "Sorry guys, you'll have to stay away from home for a little while longer than I'd hoped."

"Don't worry, they will be fine." Sasori said bringing the children inside.

Naruto noticed Deidara walking up to him, an irritated look on his face.

"Huh! I'd love to make more bombs, but without my shipment of materials from Death Mountain I can't MAKE any! That stupid Sasori. Always gets the girls, and he's a freaking SHAMAN!" Deidara grumbled before turning to Naruto. "Oi! Nar...whatever." Naruto twitched slightly. "You plan on heading up the mountain, right? See if you can get my supplies back up! I'll make it worth your while, hmm?" He grinned before walking down the road, heading towards his bombshop. "If the storage shack hadn't blown up I would have been making bombs already...stupid beasts..."

Naruto twitched, a dark cloud hanging over his head.

"I'll have to buy alot of bombs to make it up to him..." He gloomed. Naruto then looked up towards Death Mountain. "Even worse, I have to climb the damn mountain again...aww man, can this get any worse?" Naruto gloomed as he trudged up the street towards the mountain trail.

WHAM!

"Humans are not allowed! If you cannot even stop me, then you have no hope of helping us. But this is a Goron problem, so begone!"

Naruto twitched as he stared up at the sky. He was wrong. It got worse.

"Fricken' bastard wouldn't even listen...dammit." Naruto cursed as he sat up, his back tingling from the fall.

As the blonde swordsman slumped back towards the village, he was met by Sasori.

"I see you tried to climb the mountain..."

"And if you say," Naruto started.

"And I see it failed." Sasori smiled cheekily as Naruto gave him a death glare.

"I hate you."

"Hahahaha! I'm sure. The Gorons are a proud race. They will not listen to you unless you defeat them in a contest of pure strength."

"But how do I beat them?" Naruto tried to think, frustrated that he couldn't just beat them down or something.

"Well, there may be a way." Sasori mused.

"WHAT? REALLY?" Naruto suddenly said excitedly.

"Yes. There have been many who have tried to defeat the Gorons, but none have succeeded, except for ONE man. He was able to defeat any and all Gorons who came his way."

"Who?"

"Your village leader, Bo."

"SERIOUSLY? THE OLD MAN?" Naruto stared at Sasori in shock.

"Yes. If you ask him, he may be able to help you."

"All right! I'm on it!" Naruto said as he started running down the road. As he started heading towards the spring, Naruto heard something. It sounded kind of like...a horse galloping?

The blonde turned around to see a sight for sore eyes.

"EPONA!" Naruto smiled, but saw two things fall off of the horse. And when she got close, Naruto realized she wasn't going to stop! Naruto jumped out of the way, quickly looking behind him to see two of the bokoblins that had attacked him and the children at Ordana's spring. "Oh no..."

Epona had been spooked and was out of control. Naruto had realized this and started running after Epona. The children, who had heard Naruto shout something, ran out the front door to see Naruto running at an insane speed.

"What's going on?" Konohamaru shouted, confused.

"Look!" Moegi pointed to the spring where Epona flailed around.

"It's Epona!" Inari shouted.

Naruto ran up to Epona, trying to calm the horse.

"Epona! Easy girl, it's me! Naruto!" It didn't work, as the horse bashed him out of the way. "Dammit!" Naruto ran up behind Epona before jumping on her back.

The horse reared, nearly throwing Naruto off before he latched a hand onto the back of Epona's saddle. Epona lashed around, trying to rid itself of whoever was on it's back now, and rushed around the spring. It suddenly turned sharply, throwing Naruto off and smashing his back onto one of the Spring rocks. A loud *CRACK* resounded throughout the village.

"AAAAAHHH!" Naruto screamed in pain, his eyes tearing up. His back had been thrown out by Epona's lashing. He'd never be able to calm Epona now! But Naruto suddenly felt warm, and looking at his back he saw it was glowing! Another loud, *CRACK* sounded and Naruto could feel his spine snap back into place. "Unn..."

"Woah, it must have been Eldin...Thanks alot bird-guy, spirit!" Naruto grinned before turning back to the still spooked horse. "This time I'm not flying off!" Naruto said to himself before running back at Epona.

"Look! Naruto's running back!"

"But, didn't he just get slammed into that rock?" Udon said turning to Sasori.

"The spring of Eldin has magical properties...but could it really have healed damage of that extent?" Sasori wondered aloud.

Naruto jumped back onto Epona, this time focusing Chakra into his hands and gripping on tightly. "I AM NOT LETTING GO!" Naruto was lashed back and forth by the wild horse, but never lost his grip. Finally, after two full minutes of hanging onto Epona, the horse, as well as Naruto, showed signs of tiring. But Naruto caught sight of his chance and pulled himself forward, catching Epona's reigns.

"WOAH! EASY THERE GIRL!" Naruto said, pulling back on the reigns.

Epona, having been too tired to struggle, finally heard her master's voice and calmed down. After a few moments, Epona came to a complete stop, allowing Naruto to brush against the side of her neck.

"Good girl. I'm here now, it's gonna be all right." Naruto said gently to the horse.

Epona winnied before Naruto got off of her, hugging the horse's neck. "It's good to have you back girl." Naruto then led Epona to the spring, letting the horse drink and quench it's thirst. Midna suddenly appeared next to Naruto, the horse not caring about the new presence.

"Well, lookie here! Guess you're not a bad wrangler!" Midna turned to the side. "And it looks like you even got an audience performance." She quickly slipped back into Naruto's shadow as the children all came running over.

"Wow! That was amazing Naruto!"

"Yeah! You were able to calm Epona down!"

"Way to go Naruto!"

"Hee hee, it was nothing." Naruto giggled under the praise. He then turned to Sasori. "I'm gonna go help the gorons. I'll be back soon." He then got on Epona before galloping out of the village.

"I've got to do WHAT?" Naruto said in pure horror as Bo stood in front of him.

"Like I told you Naruto, the Gorons will only listen to what you have to say once you defeat them in a sumo match."

"But! But! THAT MEANS I HAVE TO WEAR A DAIPER!" Naruto complained.

"DO YOU WANT TO BEAT THEM OR NOT?" Bo suddenly shouted.

Naruto tensed before glooming. "Yeah...but, it's gonna be...wierd..." The top of his face suddenly went dark as he realized he wasn't alone, his shadow giggling.

'Oh HELL no...she's NEVER gonna let me live it down!'

"So the children are in Kakariko village? And Sasori's watching over them?" Bo said, making sure he got all of the facts straight.

"Yeah..." Naruto gloomed. He could see Midna's face when he would next see her. 'She's gonna be ready to die of laughter...oh man...'

"All right. I've taught you everything you need to know about defeating the Gorons...and remember, IT stays between you and me, GOT IT?" He said seriously, his face slightly sweating.

Naruto waved his hand non-chalantly. "Bo, everybody's got skeletons in their closets, don't worry about it." The blonde swordsman gloomed as he started back to the entrance of the village.

"Don't be a stranger! Come back soon all right Naruto?" Bo smiled before returning back home.

Naruto gloomed as he dreaded when Midna was gonna show up and start laughing at him, and just when he was expecting her to do so, Kakashi called out to him.

"Hey! Naruto!" He said as he walked over. "Hey, uh...Naruto..."

"What is it Kakashi?" Naruto asked, now curious as to Kakashi's nervous gestures.

"Have you ever...seen yourself in a different light? Like, you look at yourself, but it's not really you. You know what I mean?" Kakashi fumbled.

Naruto looked up, putting a finger to his chin. He had been given strange clothes, been turned into a small blue fox, then a big RED fox, and also seen himself as a ninja.

"Yep. Plenty of times." Naruto said waving his hand back and forth.

"OH! Good!" Kakashi said, relieved.

"Why do you ask?" Naruto said quirking an eyebrow.

"Well...umm..." Kakashi quickly looked around. "I've been visiting the springs more often lately, and, you know how I like to take naps every so often, right?"

"Yeah." Naruto deadpanned, staring at Kakashi with a fixed glare.

~Flashback!~

Naruto stood outside Faron woods, walking back and forth impatiently. He Rusl and Kakashi were supposed to bring in some crops to help out with the village. They were wild fruit, found only in the deeper part of the woods.

"WHERE THE HECK IS THAT IDIOT?" Naruto yelled impatiently.

"I don't know. He's usually late anyway Naruto, calm down." Rusl chuckled.

"How can I calm down when it's already noon? We might not make it back before dark!"

"What, scared of the dark?" Rusl taunted.

"No, I'm scared of leaving Sakura alone with Epona for an entire day." Naruto said twitching in horror.

"HAHAHAHAA!"

"Ugh, I'm gonna go look for him." Naruto said trotting off towards the village.

"Don't take too long." Rusl chuckled as he laid back on the warm, sunny rock. "Might be able to take a nap though."

Naruto waded through the forest. "Kakashi! Get your ass out here! We gotta go!" Naruto said as he moved a bush out of his path. "Stupid lazy good for nothing jerk! You'd think he'd be more like Asuma, taking care of the livestock! Where the hell is he?" Naruto said, finally coming upon Ordana springs.

"Oh...this place." Naruto said walking over to the waters. "Everytime I come here, I feel...like I'm missing something. Like a part of me. Is there something I'm forgetting?" Naruto folded his arms and closed his eyes, trying to think. After a few moments, Naruto could hear the wind blowing quickly. Looking around, Naruto found himself in a strange forest.

"What the-?"

"Naruto! Watch out! He's going to destroy you!"

Naruto turned to see Sakura hiding underneath a bush. He then heard a voice behind him.

"Too late." Naruto turned around to see Kakashi with his hands in a clasped formation, his index and middle fingers pointed up and clasped together. "LEAF VILLAGE SECRET FINGER JUTSU! A THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!"

Naruto had a horrified look on his face. "AaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA...uhhhhhh..."

BOOM!

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto screamed in pain as he went flying over the field and into a pond with a SPLASH!

"Shinobi don't let their enemy get behind them so many times. Ah Naruto, you still need alot of work." Kakashi said spinning around, reading an orange book.

Naruto came up to the surface to find he was back in Ordana springs, somehow having fallen underneath the shallow water. He started sputtering before looking forward, seeing Kakashi sleeping on a sunny rock. The blonde farmer glared hell's fury at Kakashi before sneaking up to him.

"Payback you bastard." Naruto growled, making his hands into the same handsign he had seen moments ago.

"SNOOOOORE..."

"LEAF VILLAGE SECRET FINGER JUTSU! A THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!" Naruto shouted, a strange energy flowing inside of him.

With a loud "YEEEOOOOWWW!" Kakashi went flying off into the distance.

Rusl sat on his rock, sleeping peacefully when he suddenly heard screaming.

"Huh?" He looked up to see Kakashi falling towards him. "AAAHHHH!"

WHAM!

Naruto showed up a few moments later to see Rusl and Kakashi clumped together, both asleep.

"YOU'RE BOTH FREAKING LAZY!" He roared before pulling out his wooden sword.

WHACK!

THWACK!

~End Flashback~

Naruto suddenly blinked. 'I can't believe I forgot about that...' He thought, thinking about the other 'ninja' experience he had been through.

"So, yeah...I've been getting these wierd dreams where I'm some sort of bad-ass ninja or something." Kakashi laughed nervously. "Crazy, isn't it?"

Naruto stared at Kakashi in shock. Did he just...

"Yeah, I'm some sort of Jonin or something known as 'Sharingan Kakashi' or something. Hahaha! Well, now that I've told you, I feel better! Seeing as I've seen you, Sakura and...well, you-know-who in these dreams, I figured I should tell it to one of you. Later!" Kakashi said trotting off. Naruto watched Kakashi leave before going back to Hyrule Field.

'Did Kakashi...see himself as the Kakashi I've been seeing in MY dreams?' Naruto wondered. 'But then, does that mean that he might be able to use Chakra too? Maybe I can ask that blonde guy who taught me the Shadow Clone Jutsu about it...if I ever see him again.'

"HELLOOOOOO DAIPER BOY! HOW'S IT FEEL TO BE WHOOPED BY AN OLD MAN IN A DAIPER?" Midna suddenly shouted, an evil grin on her face.

Naruto's face fell.

'And I had just forgotten all about it too...'
