Kenta: After much arguing, and having thought that Naruto and Sasuke would be the only one's with Chakra, I have come back to finally fix this message.

For those of you who didn't know about it, there was a big argument over whether Naruto would be the only one with Chakra, or Kakashi would gain Chakra and join the fight. I had set it up so that Kakashi WOULD join the fight, but after much arguing with the readers, Kakashi will NOT join. Furthermore, Naruto is the only one who can use Chakra. Sasuke has been given a different role since then, and you guys will see him in the future.

I can only hope that everyone likes what Sasuke turns out to be. :D

"So when do you think we'll ever go home?" Moegi asked Konohamaru in Kakariko village.

"I don't know Moegi, but we can't just leave now! We've all gotta do our part!"

"I know...but I miss mom..."

"And so do the rest of us! But we gotta stay a bit longer, so cheer up okay? As long as we have Naruto, there's nothing to worry about!" Konohamaru said smiling like an idiot.

"Fine..."

It was at that moment that the children heard something rumbling behind them. Konohamaru and Moegi turned to see a man with red hair and a mask over his face riding a bull, with two more bulls carrying bokoblins on their backs. The mob was charging straight down the path, where the two children were talking just moments before. Konohamaru's eyes widened in horror as he tried to run away, but Moegi was too scared to move.

Off to the side, Inari and Udon were talking about battle tactics against village attacks, when Inari heard Konohamaru scream, "RUN! MONSTERS!" Inari turned to get Sasori, but stopped. He turned around to see Moegi frozen still, tears running down her face.

'I've gotta get help! I...I...' He thought about Naruto, how he would fearlessly jump into things without care for his own safety. 'I...I gotta do it myself!' Inari mustered together every bit of courage he had and turned back to Moegi. 'I gotta do it!'

Everything seemed slow for Moegi. She saw her parents, calling out to her. What were they saying?

M...

O...

V...

E...

Move?

It wouldn't have mattered at this point she decided. There was no way she was going to escape.

Wait...why was her arm feeling heavy? And why was the mob moving sideways? Moegi turned her head to see Inari pushing her out of the way before turning to the mob. Wait, what was that idiot doing?

"INARI!"

Deidara came running out of his shop after hearing Moegi scream, but when he looked in front of him a scary looking guy lifted up his mask, revealing black rings around his eyes. He grinned evilly and Deidara felt like he should move, yet at the same time he felt like he knew this guy somewhere. The word 'Jinchuuriki' flashed through his mind, though he didn't know why.

The sound of a galloping horse hit the mob leader's ears, making him turn around and catch sight of Naruto flying into the village.

"Moegi! Inari!" Naruto looked ahead to see a guy with red hair and a mask lifting up Inari, laughing.

"COME IF YOU WANT TO SAVE HIM!" He cackled as he dragged the boy away from the village.

"INARI!" Naruto shouted, kicking Epona into high gear. "AFTER HIM GIRL! WE GOTTA SAVE INARI!"

Naruto flew right past Deidara, Sasori and the others, his mind focusing on getting Inari away from that guy. Rushing past a few lackeys that he left behind, Naruto finally got to the bridge of Eldin. There, on the other side stood the black-eyed man, Inari tied to a war flag that he held.

"N...Naruto..." Inari mumbled.

"COME! WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE?" The man cackled. "FOR WHAT PURPOSE DO YOU COME FOR THIS CHILD?"

"HE'S MY FRIEND! NOW LET HIM GO GAARA!" Naruto shouted. He was so infuriated he hadn't even realized he had called the mob leader by name.

"So, you know my name. Too bad I won't know yours SINCE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU NOW!" Naruto's eyes flared in rage, flashing red and blue before finally settling on a slit crimson red, the three whisker marks on each side of his face growing wilder and creating more lines. Midna idly noticed this, but didn't say anything. Naruto gave the feeling that he was about to explode if someone said anything.

"COME YOU COWARD! I WILL DESTROY YOU AND SHOW YOU MY PURPOSE IN LIFE!" Gaara suddenly charged, shaking Inari and making him fall into unconsciousness again. Naruto met him halfway across the bridge on top of Epona, his sword ready and his eyes glaring hell's fury at Gaara. In one swift sweep, Gaara found himself missing the top half of his war flag. Turning around he found Naruto already running on foot towards him at ninja speed, Inari passed out on top of Epona.

Gaara jumped off of his boar and charged after Naruto. "I cannot be defeated! Not even a hundred of you can defeat me!"

"THEN HOW ABOUT A THOUSAND?" Naruto roared, his hands forming a cross-shaped handsign. "TAJU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU! MULTI SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"

Gaara's psychotic grin faded as Naruto suddenly multiplied. Hundreds of Naruto were now stampeding across the bride, even running on top of themselves to get to Gaara. "What, WHAT ARE YOU?" Gaara screamed in terror.

"UZUMAKI NARUTO!" They all shouted, two grabbing ahold of Gaara and launching him up into the air. Gaara was now twenty feet above the bridge and surrounded by hundreds of Narutos. "AND THIS IS FOR KIDNAPPING INARI!" Five Narutos jumped off the backs of five other Narutos and slammed a fist straight into Gaara, sending him flying back into even more Narutos. Those Naruto started slamming Gaara around in what looked like a multi-sided die, making a game of ping-pong with him. Finally, as they were nearing the bridge again, the real Naruto charged up as much chakra as he could into his left hand, two other clones grabbing him by the arm and his tunic and launching him at Gaara.

"EAT THIS! FOX FIST!" Naruto shouted as he slammed his hand straight into Gaara's gut, launching him off into the distance.

"I WILL RETURN UZUMAKI NARUTO! I SWEAR IIIIIIITTT!"

Naruto landed on the bridge, his clones disappearing as they fell towards the chasm beneath the bridge. His left glove had been incinerated from his attack, only a few pieces of it remaining. Naruto began panting in exhaustion, his hair growing less and less wilder while his whisker marks became thin lines again and his eyes faded back to blue. He suddenly remembered Inari and ran back to Epona, his arms and legs feeling sore and his head feeling cloudy. He could feel the memories of all the clones he had made coming back to him. The blonde swordsman stumbled for a moment before the cloudiness in his head disappeared.

When he got to Epona, he found Inari still unconscious. Quickly picking him up, Naruto got onto Epona and returned to Kakariko Village.

Naruto stood outside of a tall building, what looked like a bar, waiting to hear news of Inari from Sasori. The door suddenly opened, showing Kankuro. He nodded to Naruto, who quickly followed him inside. Naruto was led to a room where Inari was unconscious on the bed.

"So...how is he?" Naruto said after a moment. Sasori stood up from his chair, herbs and medicines on a desk next to the bed.

"He will be fine. He was only slightly injured." Sasori smiled. Naruto sighed in relief.

"He saved me..." Moegi said in a low voice. "We always treated him like he was a nobody but he still saved me." She was on the verge of tears. "I'm going to make it up to him." She sniffled. Naruto smiled.

"I'm sure he'd like that." The blonde then walked outside where he met Sasori.

"It is a good thing you showed up when you did. I think they were trying to stop you by capturing him." Naruto merely stared up at the stars in the cloudless sky. "Don't worry. We will watch over him, but you still have a job to do." Naruto turned to Sasori, nodding.

"If I can help the Gorons and get Deidara's supplies back, you guys will have something to defend yourselves with." Naruto then started for Death Mountain's trail again. "I'll be back soon." Reaching the start of the trail, Naruto climbed the wall before catching sight of the Goron that had slammed him off the edge before.

"You've returned? No matter how many times you try, you will not get past us!" The Goron then curled up into a ball before starting to spin rapidly. Naruto grinned as he pulled out the medallion Ooccoo had given him, feeding it some chakra before focusing on the item he already knew he wanted.

"HAH!" Naruto's feet were suddenly engulfed by smoke. A strong gust of wind blew the smoke away, revealing Naruto's boots were replaced by a polished pair of boots with iron tips. "Let's try these Iron Boots out!" Naruto could lift his feet, but it was still tough to do. Naruto readied himself just like he was catching one of the goats back at Asuma's farm. "Ready, aaaaaand..." The Goron got close enough for Naruto to grab. "NOW!" Naruto clenched chakra into his hands before catching the rolling Goron, causing Naruto to slide back a bit before the Goron stopped, Naruto only a few inches from the edge. "HUUUAAAAA!" Naruto grabbed the Goron before swinging him around behind him, tossing the Goron off the edge.

"Woah, woah woooaaah!" The Goron tumbled down to Kakariko, Naruto grinning at the top of the wall.

"Now let's get climbing." Naruto grinned as he dispelled the boots and continued on up the Mountain trail.

"HALT! HOW DID A MERE HUMAN GET UP HERE?"

"STOP! WE CANNOT LET YOU SPEAK TO THE ELDER!"

"ACK! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TAKING A BATH HERE?"

Naruto shuddered as he left the Goron Mountain Hot Springs. "That was creepy." Naruto jumped up the volcano, dodging all of the Gorons in his path. Reaching the top, Midna appeared by his side.

"When did you get the idea to throw them like that? And how? You're not THAT strong..."

Naruto pouted at Midna. "Thanks alot." She curtsied to him, prompting Naruto to twitch. "I'm using my Chakra." Naruto explained. "Remember when Epona was going wild in Kakariko village?" Midna nodded. "When I had jumped onto Epona the second time, I was using my Chakra. I took a look at the saddle later and found imprints of my hands on it. I was thinking about how to stop a rolling Goron and realized I wasn't strong enough to stop them."

"Which is why you fell the first time." She cracked a grin. "But wouldn't it be easier to use your 'Chakra' to stick to the floor instead of using those Iron Boots?" Naruto shook his head.

"It's like running. You get tired if you run for too long. My Chakra is like a secondary energy source. If I use my Chakra too much, I'll get tired. And if I use too much, I'll burn my hand, like on the bridge." Naruto lifted up his left hand, showing the completely repaired glove. "Good thing these clothes repair themselves. I don't think a tailor could fix this outfit." Midna nodded in understanding before returning to his shadow. Naruto took a deep breath before going inside.

Inside, Gorons lined both sides of the room.

"ACK!" Naruto panicked as all of the Gorons in the room started rolling at him.

"ENOUGH!" A voice suddenly boomed, causing all of the Gorons to stop. Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, letting his hands drop from the Shadow Clone Jutsu handsign.

'Good, I didn't have to use it.'

"Is this young human such an imposing enemy that you must all gang up on him?" An old Goron said walking into the room. The other Gorons in the room hung their heads in shame.

'I could have taken them...' Naruto thought off-handedly with a mental pout. He then walked up to the old Goron before bowing in respect.

"I am a Goron elder, young human. I am called Gor Coron. I have taken up leadership in the place of our patriarch, Darbus. Tell me human, do you come from the village below?"

Naruto grinned sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head. "Kinda..." Gor Coron nodded.

"You have done well...for a human." Naruto twitched in irritation. "However, the mines beyond here are sacred to my tribe. You CANNOT enter." Naruto almost said something, only getting so far as opening his mouth before Gor Coron continued. "Unless..." Naruto shut up, readying himself for a challenge. The Goron elder grinned. "You are willing to face me in a contest of power? What do you say, puny human?"

Naruto sizzled. "I AM NOT LITTLE!" He then pointed defiantly at Gor Coron. "AND I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!"

"HAHAHAA! GOOD! Let us begin!" Naruto soon found himself back on the Sumo stage, this time still in his tunic.

'Thank goodness.' Naruto thought in silent relief. He thanked the goddesses as he could tell Midna was pouting. Gor Coron lifted up his leg before slamming it down harshly. Naruto bounced up slightly, his face paling a little. 'Uh-oh...I don't think this is going to be easy.'

"WHEN I GIVE THE SIGNAL, WE BEGIN! READY?" A Goron said, standing next to the stage. Naruto lifted his leg before, at the last moment, deciding to give his opponent a spook. He slammed Chakra into his foot before slamming it down, creating a slam as great as the Goron in front of him. The elder merely smirked.

'Uh-oh...I think it backfired...' Naruto gloomed, his leg tingling.

"HAJIME!" The Goron swung his hand down, and before Naruto knew it, two hands had connected to his chest, making him fly backwards and off the stage.

"UHGK!"

THUD!

Naruto slammed onto the ground hard, coughing.

"What's wrong puny human? You are too light, you should try again later!" He laughed.

Naruto sizzled. 'Dammit! That hurt like when Neji used the Eight Trigrams 64 Palms on me!' He then pulled out a scroll that he had found back at his home. It was under some strange books about Ninjutsu or something. He remembered Rusl had said he kept finding them on his trips in the forest and kept them for him. Naruto quickly unraveled the scroll before pushing chakra into it, creating a puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared, the Gorons all stared at the blonde swordsman in awe.

"I CAN'T EAT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!" Naruto roared, fifteen piping hot bowls of Ramen behind him. He then plopped down before pulling out a pair of chopsticks and, holding them up in the air, yelled. "FIVE MINUTES!" The Gorons stared at him in shock. "GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES AND I'LL BEAT YOU!" He then pulled a bowl over to him and started eating like crazy.

Five minutes later Naruto stood in front of MANY shocked Gorons.

"HE ACTUALLY DID IT IN ONLY FIVE MINUTES!"

"HOW CAN A HUMAN EAT THAT FAST?"

"I BLINKED AND HE FINISHED A BOWL!"

Naruto clapped his hands together before saying "Arigatou Gouzaimasu. Thanks for the meal." The bowls suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke and Naruto grinned. "NOW LET'S DO THIS!"

Gor Coron merely bellowed out in laughter before grinning. "All right then, let's go!"

Naruto jumped high up into the air before landing on the stage, creating a cloud of smoke when he landed. "I won't lose! Zettai Katsu!" Naruto grinned, his feet suddeny much heavier than they were a moment ago.

Gor Coron stood in front of him, ready. Had he paid more attention to Naruto's feet, he would have noticed Naruto was now wearing the Iron Boots.

"HAJIME!" The Goron said swinging his hand down.

Naruto caught sight of the elder's attack this time, having finally eaten after his TWO trecks up the mountain. He quickly dodged before catching the elder in a hold. "RAAAAAAAUUUGH!" Naruto jammed more Chakra into his arms and legs before pushing the elder harder than he had ever done before. "SHAKIRUMAAA!" Naruto shouted, throwing the Elder off the stage.

"HWOO!" The elder hit the ground with a thud, a chorus of gasps going through the room. The elder got up before laughing. "WAHAHAHAHAA! WELL DONE!"

Naruto took a deep breath before clenching his right hand into a fist and pounding it into his open left hand. He then bowed to Gor Coron before saying, "Onegai Shimasu! Thank you for having this battle with me!"

"Surely you have seen it, brother, the mountain erupting without pause. When the Mountain began to rage, us four elders and our patriarch, Darbus, went into the mountain to investigate." Gor Coron explained. "We have a treasure that was entrusted to us by the spirits, and we must protect it." Naruto nodded in understanding.

"But...WHERE is Darbus?" Naruto said crossing his arms. Gor Coron shook his head.

"When Darbus reached out and touched the treasure...everything went wrong..." He said sadly.

"What happened?" Naruto could feel Midna shaking her head. Did she know something?

"He collapsed...and before our very eyes, transformed into an unspeakable monster!"

"He WHAT?"

"He went on a rampage, going through the mines, leaving disaster in his wake and making the eruptions more and more severe and frequent."

"So...what did you guys do?"

Gor Coron shook his head. "We used all of our strength and sealed him inside of the mine. It grieved us all...but, we had no other choice." Gor Coron lowered his head sadly, and Naruto noticed all of the other Gorons lowered THEIR heads as well.

"There wasn't any other way?" Naruto asked sadly.

"No, if there was, it was too late..." Gor Coron then looked up to Naruto. "Young warrior, I ask this of you on behalf of ALL of us Gorons. Go to the aid of Darbus! Save him!"

Naruto grinned. "Isn't that what I'm here for?" He then bowed his head to Gor Coron. "I will do this favor for you, but in return, there is a man named Deidara at the bottom of this mountain, he owns a bomb shop."

"Ah yes, we know of him."

"You guys stopped giving him supplies, and monsters will most likely attack the village again, as they did not too long ago. I want you guys to start up a business with them again so that he and the other villagers will have something to defend themselves with. I am from a forest some ways away from here, and children of the village were kidnapped by monsters. They are in danger if I don't help them." Naruto explained.

Gor Coron nodded. "I understand. We will begin preperations immediately." Gor Coron clapped his hands twice, making two Gorons behind him move to the side. "Please, save Darbus! Do this, and I will grant you your wish."

Naruto nodded. "Wish me luck!" And with that, Naruto ran into the Goron Mines.
