Kenta: Okay, so it seems there was a misunderstanding when I wrote in that last chapter...
When Naruto jumped back onto the Goron stage, I had written 'Naruto grinned, his feet suddeny much heavier than they were a moment ago.' I had thought that left a good enough clue that Naruto had summoned the Iron Boots under the cloud coverage, but apparently not. If anything, I might try and go back to fix it, but onto the most important deal.
I've been watching the reviews for this story come by, and I was actually surprised by the sheer outrage everyone seems to have at Sasuke getting Chakra. Not one review said that they didn't mind Sasuke getting Chakra, everyone was against it.
I was going to have Sasuke get Chakra so he and Naruto could do an epic battle in the twilight realm, but everyone seems really against it.
Well, I'm glad I asked everyone before it came to this, so I'm officially announcing it.
Screw the Chakra thingy, Naruto will be the only one to use Chakra. I'm sure I can figure out another way for those two to duke it out later.
Gaara was put in as King Bulbin so that he would help Naruto later, (the two sides thingy) but I guess we can keep him as a big bad boss kinda guy...or will the actual King Bulbin beat Gaara in a contest of power and become the leader? Would Gaara then go and join Naruto's side? But then the question is how would he help...
As for Sasuke? I just can't see him replacing Zant(Sure, he's wierd and an $$-hole, but he was still a pretty big character)...so, I'm kinda thinking of Zant as a kind of wierd mentor(?) for Sasuke? Like, he teaches Sasuke about his master's awesome powers, which Sasuke then gets as well? Maybe, It's still kind of sketchy.
Anyway, with enough reviews you guys CAN change a story, so let me know how you want this story shaped up.
Also, I know Sakura loses her memories, so should she never get them back? I was thinking her time spent out in Hyrule would change her since she no longer has her memories thus making her more understanding and such, like in Shippuden, but I don't know. If you guys get any ideas for later (I'm in the Temple of Time right now, so please don't spoil anything more, please?) just let me know!
And I've got an epic idea for when Naruto goes to the Sacred Grove...MUAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
Sorry for the long rant.

"Holy shit it's hot in here!" Naruto complained, flopping onto the ground. "OUCH! EVEN THE FREAKIN' FLOOR'S HOT!" He quickly jumped back onto his feet.
"Oh quit whining. We have to find that Fused Shadow!" Midna said impatiently. Naruto turned to her.
"Midna, there's something that's been bothering me...WHY do you want the pieces of Fused Shadow?" Midna averted her gaze, causing Naruto to frown. He reached out a hand to try and make her look at him, but his hand merely phased through her.
'I can't even touch her...' Naruto thought. He suddenly felt like a weight was pressing down around the inside of his chest. "Fine, but I'd better get some answers soon." Naruto said quickly turning and walking deeper into the mines. Midna stayed where she was for a moment, watching the blonde swordsman walk into the humid mines.
'I'm sorry Naruto...I just can't tell you...' She returned to being his shadow.
"I am Gor Amoto. Word has reached me of your arrival. If Gor Coron has such faith in you, then all I can do is trust in him. Here, take this." The elder gave Naruto a strange artifact, what looked like a piece of a key.
"Ummm..." Naruto stared at the artifact.
"That is but only a piece of the key that we elders used to seal Darbus. The other elders have the other pieces. Find them and free Darbus. Good luck!"
Naruto climbed the ladder behind the elder and started walking towards the door when a strange sound hit his ears.
"Wait a minute...why does that sound familiar?" Naruto looked ahead to see a pot bouncing around. "Don't tell me," He cracked a grin. "Ooccoo, is that you in there?"
"AH! That voice! Naruto dear, is that you?"
"Yeah, hang on, I'll have you out in a jiff!" Naruto grinned. He broke the pot before Ooccoo shook her head.
"Whew! Free at last!"
"How did you get stuck in ANOTHER pot?" Naruto grinned as he crossed his arms, staring down at the nice creature.
"Well...I was looking for my son..."
"Again? I thought you found him before we left the Forest Temple?"
"I did, but he's such an adventurous little scamp, he flew all the way up to the mountain!"
"That's a pretty tough little kid..." Naruto sweated a little, remembering his two trecks up the mountain.
"Oh yes! So, will you let me stick around with you for a little while again?"
Naruto laughed. "Of course! Not a problem Ooccoo!"
"WAAAH! LAVA!"
"HOLY SHIT! FIRE MONSTERS!"
"Oh look, a little bat."
WHACK!
"ACK! A WHOLE LOTTA BATS!"
Naruto ran outside of the mines, quickly closing the big rotating door and resting against it as a series of 'THUD's impacted onto the other side of the door.
"Whew. That was close." Naruto sighed as he slid down to the floor, breathing heavily.
"You hit the smallest bat and a whole SWARM of them come after. You REALLY aren't all that bright are you?" Midna merely cracked a grin at Naruto.
"SHUT UP!" Naruto growled. He walked onto a boarded platform only for an arrow to fly by his head, Naruto sweating heavily. "That was even closer..." He turned to see Bulbins shooting arrows at him. "Well shit...that's not even fair!" He fumed even as another arrow shot by his head.
"GET OUTTA HERE YOU MORON!"
"I'M WORKING ON IT!" Naruto ran up towards a barrier of sorts before noticing the Bulbins had stopped firing. Had they just lost sight of him? Naruto peeked around the corner. No, they were waiting for him to come out so they could shoot him. Naruto grinned, his mind hatching a plan. He ran out to the right of the barrier, causing all of the Bulbins to fire at him before Naruto pivoted, now going to the LEFT of the barrier.
"NYEH NYEH! MISSED!" Naruto cackled before he crashed into another door. "SUNNUVA...!" Naruto bent over, holding his nose.
"HAHAHAHAA! YOU CRASHED STRAIGHT INTO THE DOOR! HAHAHAHAHAAA!"
'I'm really starting to get sick of that laugh...' Naruto mentally growled. The blonde soon found himself in another cavern, a rotating floor in front of him with Magnetic squares on both sides. "Oh now THAT'S cool." Naruto grinned as he ran to it.
"NOT AGAIN! I get sick from hanging upsidown for too long!" Midna panicked.
"WHEE!" Naruto giggled as he spun around on the platform.
"Oogh..."
Naruto finally reached the other side only for Midna to pop out of his shadow looking not so black. Actually, she looked kinda white.
"I don't feel so good..."
"Is it even possible for a shadow to get sick?" Naruto wondered aloud.
"BLEGH!"
"Huh...guess so." Naruto suddenly felt awkward. Whenever any of the children got sick, he would rub their backs to make them feel better. Midna was a shadow, so...
"Ugh..." Naruto shook his head before trying to rub her back anyway. He couldn't actually touch her, but she seemed to feel better anyway.
"All right, we'll stay away from spinning contraptions from now on."
"You'd better...ugh..."
Naruto merely laughed. After a few minutes Midna seemed okay, so Naruto continued on to the next room. Inside he found another elder, this one looking more feeble than the last Goron he had seen. 'I don't think these guys eat a whole lot...' Naruto thought.
"Ah, I have been expecting you brudda, I am Gor Ebizo" (I kept typing Gor Ebisu...) Naruto nodded to him. "You already know of our plight, since you would not have come this far otherwise. Here is the next piece of the key." Naruto took the next piece before waving goodbye. "Oh! Before I forget!" Naruto skidd to a halt. "Up ahead there are many dangers, but there is an item that may help you, a weapon left by a hero of old...it is an item beyond price, so we have protected it. Now that our tribe is on the brink of destruction, it may help us in our hour of need. Talk to the guard ahead and accept it with the blessing of the Gorons."
"Thanks!" Naruto grinned. "Oh boy! A new weapon for me to play with!" He giggled.
"I am suddenly very worried..." Ebizo said as Naruto left the room.
Naruto walked into a room that had a giant magnetic field in the middle, four chains holding it up.
"Be careful Naruto, I don't like this room." Midna said looking around.
"Why? I can see the gaurd from here." Naruto said running onto the platform.
"NO YOU IDIOT! WAIT!"
"OI! YOU! BIG GUY!" Naruto shouted to a large clunk of metal on the opposite side of the room.
"Wha..? A HUMAN?" He suddenly sat up. "What business does a HUMAN have coming here? NONE! NO BUSINESS AT ALL!"
"Actually, the Eld-" The Goron suddenly jumped onto the platform, snapping the chains and causing the platform to fall. "HEY! WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"This is a forbidden place! I will not let you have the treasure!"
"Dammit!" Naruto cursed as he summoned the Iron Boots back onto his feet. "You have to let me pass! I'm trying to-
"Take our treasure! I won't let you!" The big Goron suddenly slammed his iron-covered fists together before charging at Naruto.
"Sunnuva...Screw it! I'm gonna kick your ass!" Naruto frowned as the Goron pulled back a hand to strike him. "This is gonna hurt, but YOU ASKED FOR IT!" Naruto unsheathed his sword before slashing at the Goron's exposed middle. "HYAA!" Naruto spun his sword around, making the Goron flinch. 'DAMN THEY'VE GOT HARD SKIN!" Naruto thought before the Goron started spinning. 'SHIT!'
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" Naruto sheathed his sword before making the cross-shaped handsign, five Narutos appearing, all wearing the magnetically attracted Iron Boots. "HYAAH!" They all shouted, chakra going into their hands and grabbing hold of the Goron. The goron stopped spinning, Naruto and his clones near the edge.
"HOLY SHIT! THAT'S LAVA DOWN THERE!" One of the clones exclaimed looking behind the group.
'Hey, if he could withstand my sword...then maybe...' The original quickly turned to the other clones. "GUYS! THROW HIM BEHIND US!"
"WHAT? WE DON'T WANT TO KILL HIM!"
"Just trust me! One, two, three, HEAVE!" The five Narutos all grabbed hold of the Goron before throwing him over their heads, sending the Goron into the lava pit below.
"OW! OW! OUCH!" The Goron exclaimed before flying back up to the platform, Naruto dispelling his clones.
"Now listen! I don't really want to hurt you, but you didn't give me a choice! The Goron elder sent me, look!" He pulled out the pieces of the key.
"OH! The key to Darbus's room!"
"Yeah, the elder said to take the treasure left by the hero of old and to help you guys, so please let me pass!" Naruto pleaded.
The Goron thought for a moment before nodding his head. "All right, if the Goron elder says so, I guess I can let you pass."
"Thanks!" Naruto noticed his sword hadn't left any marks on the Goron. 'Geez, if there hadn't been any lava down there, I would have been screwed!' Naruto thought in relief. He walked into the next room to see an ornate chest sitting in the middle of the room. Opening it up, Naruto stared at the item, a maniacle grin growing onto his face.
'Oh BULBIIIIIIINSSS! It's PAYBACK TIIIIIME!' Naruto thought evilly.
"What is it? What's the weapon?" Midna asked, appearing next to him.
Naruto pulled out a quiver, tying it underneath his sword sheath before pulling out a bow. "Oh this is gonna be FUN!" Naruto cackled in glee.
THWACK!
THWACK!
THOCK!
THWACK!
"A bulls-eye here and a bulls-eye there, and bulls-eyes go flying EVERYWHERE! MUAHAHAHAHAAA!" Naruto laughed evilly as arrows went flying into every monster Naruto caught sight of.
"I swear, you're like a kid in a candy store..."
"Good! Then I'm doing my job!" Naruto laughed as he shot a Dodongo's tail, making the creature explode. Naruto reached back to find his quiver empty. "Aww man, playtime's over?" Naruto pouted.
Midna shook her head. "Take a look over there..." Naruto turned to where she pointed to find bundles of arrows left behind by the Bulbins.
"WHEE!" Naruto giggled as he skipped over to them.
"Why in the world did I do that..." Midna wondered as she followed after the giggling blonde swordsman.
Kenta: A little shorter of a chapter, but you guys all know what that means...
DU, DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!
BOSS BATTLE 2 IS UP NEXT!
Also, I know you had to throw Dangoro into the lava THREE times, but I'm trying to be a little more realistic. Naruto doesn't eat hearts so he can get stabbed more, he eats ramen or drinks a red potion to restore his fatigue and stuff. That doesn't mean that other bosses (cough Stallord cough) need only one hit to be defeated. So please don't think I'm trying to skip anything, all right?
