Kenta: Well it seems that people are kinda sad at how little screen time Midna's been getting lately, not to mention there isn't a lot of romantic stuff going on between the two, but once Naruto gets all of the Fused Shadow everyone knows what happens, right? Trust me, they'll get ALOT closer after an experience like that. At the moment they just kind of tolerate each other, (Naruto's starting to like her though, just doesn't want to admit it) but things will look better for them afterwards.

Don't worry, just be patient, okay?

Also, in case you guys didn't notice, I'm going back to re-do some of the old chapters. I realized that some chapters are messed up, such as chapter 2. I put it as Fado's ranch even though I recently just typed it as Asuma's. I'll be fixing anything I messed up with, including the Ordana incedent. Now that I've got a firm grasp of where the story's going, I'll be going back while working on the newer chapters. Sorry about all of the mess-ups! If there was anything else that you guys didn't like, (The Ordana incedent wasn't the only one, I'm just trying to remember any others right now) please let me know! As for the parents and stuff, I don't really care. It's one big happy village, let's just leave it at that. Just give me things I need to fix and stuff.

All right? We got it? Good.


"Ah, You are here at last." The last elder said, standing up from his meditative stance.

'Geez, if they're not skinny as skeletons then they just look like they've got a beer gut...sheesh!' Naruto thought, his eye twitching.

"I knew you would pay me a visit, I am farsighted in all things." He laughed.

"So, does that mean you can tell me my future? Or my past?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Wut?"

"You know, like a fortune teller!"

"What is that?"

Naruto shook his head in disappointment. "Nevermind..."

"Here is the last key. Now go to the aid of Darbus! But be careful, who knows how powerful he has gotten in his new grotesque form."

"Thanks! Wish me luck!" Naruto said running out of the room.


Standing in front of the final room Naruto took a deep breath. "Easy Naruto, just calm down..." Naruto turned to the side to see more pots, and upon breaking one, a pink fairy floated out. "Shion!" Naruto smiled. The pink fairy giggled and curtsied to Naruto.

"It's good to see you again Naruto-kun. Have you learned anything new?"

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"Have you remastered your signature move? The Shadow Clone Jutsu?"

"Yep!" Naruto grinned proudly. "Wait a minute, how did you know that used to be my signature move?" Naruto stared at the little fairy, puzzled.

"I am but only a part of the great fairy, Naruto-kun, perhaps if you meet the real me, I will be able to answer all of your questions."

Naruto stared at the fairy for a moment before sighing. "Fine, but where would I find the real you?"

"How should I know?" She deadpanned, causing Naruto to hang his head.

"You've gotta be kidding me...(sigh) All right, care to give me another hand?" Naruto said pulling out a clean bottle.

"As long as that thing is clean, then yes." She said floating into the bottle.

"And if it isn't?" Naruto smiled evilly as he closed the bottle with a cap.

"WHAT?"

"HAHAHAA! I'm just kidding." Naruto grinned wiping his nose with his thumb. The blonde turned to the large looming door in front of him, taking a deep breath before taking the large key from his Konoha Medallion and inserting it into the keyhole. The lock twisted and turned, and Naruto almost got hit in the head again for getting lost in watching it all happen. "These things are just WAY too dangerous..." Naruto mumbled as he walked inside the room.

The door suddenly shut behind him, causing Naruto to jump, quickly looking behind him. He took a deep breath.

"Calm down, calm down." He said to himself, taking deep breaths. His nose suddenly caught the scent of burnt flesh, causing him to hold a hand over his nose. "Ack! That stench!" Naruto looked up to see a corpse in front of him, it's arms and legs shackled. "What the-?" He started walking closer, his shadow shivering. "Midna...is this...Darbus? He doesn't even LOOK like a Goron!" Naruto's eyes were wide with shock.

His shadow was silent.

"Midna!" Naruto called to her, looking down at his shadow.

A gem on top of the corpse's head suddenly started glowing, prompting Naruto to shudder before looking back up. The sound of heavy breathing suddenly entered the room and Naruto could feel his hairs beginning to stand on end. The corpse's eyes suddenly flashed, a strange fire flaming inside of them. The creature pulled it's head up before noticing it's arms were hanging. It tugged on the steel chains, trying to free itself. Turning back in front of itself, the corpse spotted Naruto, who quickly pulled out his sword and shield and putting the wooden shield in front of him. The creature screamed at him, pulling at the chains in fury as it tried to break loose.

"Midna..."

The creature suddenly snapped it's chain loose before swinging it at Naruto, who quickly ducked underneath it. It screamed again before snapping the other chain loose.

"Midna..." Naruto started sweating, his heartbeat rising in speed. He could feel his legs tightening and his hands becoming sweaty. "I think we're in trouble..." The corpse suddenly roared, it's body igniting into flames. Orange, cracked lines rushing up all around it's body. The corpse's fire-like eyes turned to the pale Naruto. "Yeah, we're in a LOT of trouble." The corpse suddenly screamed before swinging a chain at Naruto, who rolled out of the way. Naruto disappeared, having used his chakra to super-sprint to the other side of the room behind a pillar. "Midna? Shion? Any ideas?" He panted.

Shion appeared next to him, a grim look on her face. "I'm sorry Naruto-kun, I don't know what this creature is...I've never even seen it!"

Midna appeared next to Naruto as well, her face looking down. "Midna?" Naruto asked desperately.

"It's called Fyrus. A strong creature told of in the books of old. It's entire body is made of fire, and unless you can douse it, you can't actually hurt it." She said quietly.

"But there's no WATER IN HERE!" Naruto shouted before realizing his mistake. "SHIT!" He quickly jumped away from the pillar, a chain wrapping around it before Fyrus pulled, smashing the pillar away. "Dammit, how in the hell can I put water on it when there's no water around here!" Naruto started running around the room, keeping a good distance away from Fyrus. Midna appeared next to him. As his shadow, she was easily able to keep up with the fast swordsman.

"The only other way would be to dizzy it, make it vulnerable enough to attack that gem on it's forehead." Midna suggested.

"Well, it's all I've got to go on...but how in the world do I get it to stop swinging those chains?" Naruto thought for only a moment before grinning. "I got it!"

The blonde stopped running, sweat running down his forehead before he sharply whistled. "HEY SMOKEY! OVER HERE!" Naruto squatted, waiting for the creature to turn to him. When Fyrus turned around to him, the creature pulled back it's arm before swinging it at Naruto. The blonde vanished in a blur, the chain wrapping around the Pillar. Naruto suddenly reappeared up in the air, already pulling back an arrow. Releasing the arrow, Fyrus snapped the pillar loose, dodging the arrow. Naruto cursed. He quickly reached back, grabbing another arrow. His face contorted into a worried look.

'I've only got five arrows left...I've got to make these next few shots count...maybe I shouldn't have played so much with the arrows...' He chided himself.

Trying again, Naruto waited for Fyrus to swing it's chain at him. It did, but Naruto still missed.

"Dammit!" He cursed. A loud rumbling shook the room, causing Naruto to pale. The room was starting to collapse. "AAAAHHH! THE PILLARS ARE THE ONLY THINGS HOLDING UP THE ROOM!" Naruto panicked. A cold chill suddenly ran down his back, causing Naruto to turn around. Fyrus stood behind him, it's fiery claw pulled back.

THWACK!

Naruto slammed against the side of the room, having barely pulled out his shield in time. He looked off to the side to see the wooden shield burning. "N-no...G-gotta, get up."

"Naruto! Don't give up!"

Naruto coughed before an image flashed before his eyes, causing him to grin. "Hell no..." He mumbled lowly. He started to stand up, a low bubbling sound echoing around the room. "I don't quit and I don't run away..." The ground around Naruto's feet started cracking, a red energy source flowing around him in a wide circle. "That's my nindo, MY NINJA WAY!" Naruto suddenly shouted, his eyes turning slit-crimson red and his whisker marks becoming more defined, more wild. Naruto crossed his arms, looking like a wild animal about to swing at it's enemy. Fyrus swung it's chains at Naruto, who merely stood still.

CLANG!

Naruto crouched, holding both of the chains in his hands. He looked up at Fyrus, an evil grin on his face. Naruto suddenly disappeared, Fyrus's chains suddenly snapping, leaving the Twilight Beast with no weapon to swing around. Naruto suddenly appeared above the creature, his hand wrapped in a cloak of red Chakra.

THWAM!

Fyrus was sent flying to the other end of the room, slamming harshly into the wall before slumping to the ground. Naruto stalked up to Fyrus, a red, transparent tail appearing behind him. Naruto's teeth started getting longer and his eyes began to be covered in thick black outlines.

"NARUTO! STOP!" Shion tried yelling, but Naruto paid her no mind. He raised a clawed hand up, ready to strike his felled opponent.

"YOU IDIOT! GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!"

Naruto suddenly stopped, his eyes widening before he lowered his hand, dropping to his hands and knees. He started panting heavily as his eyes turned back to blue and the transparent red cloak disappeared. Naruto finally gained control of his breathing again before hearing the clanking of metal. He quickly looked up to see Fyrus getting back up, screaming in pain. Naruto stumbled back, quickly reaching for his bow. Naruto grabbed an arrow before pulling it back. He missed, Fyrus grabbing Naruto before flinging him to a wall.

WHAM!

Naruto slid to the ground before slowly trying to get back up, two of his three arrows now in Fyrus's hands, burning to ash. "Dammit, not yet!" He quickly looked back up before pulling back his last arrow. "I WON'T LOSE!" Letting go of the arrow, Naruto watched it fly past Fyrus's hands, hitting the gem square on. Fyrus started screaming in pain once more as it stumbled around the room. Naruto quickly tried grabbing one of the chains still wrapped around it's foot, but was easily dragged along with it. Naruto then noticed that the center of the room was magnetic, so quickly summoning the Iron Boots, Naruto once more tugged on the chain, this time tripping the Twilight Beast.

Making the Boots disappear once more, Naruto ran in front of Fyrus, pulling out his sword. He stared into the eyes of the monster, seeing a Goron shivering in fear. Naruto steeled himself before he began hacking away at the gem, the creature screaming in pain with each slice. Naruto readied himself before jumping into the air.

"HYAAAAAHH!"

SLASH!

Silence reigned the room as Naruto stood on top of the corpse, his sword impaled into the gem. Fyrus suddenly screamed, tossing Naruto off as it lashed about, trying to get rid of the pain in it's head. The creature screamed towards the ceiling, slowly freezing up in movement before it suddenly stopped. Naruto stared at the creature, unsure of what would happen before Fyrus suddenly exploded into millions of black squares. Naruto's sword clanked away from the explosion, landing a few feet away from the blonde. Naruto quickly turned back to Fyrus to see the creature reformed itself into something much smaller and less grotesque. It was covered in black though, and Naruto couldn't tell what it was. Looking in front of him, Naruto saw all of the squares flying into one point, creating another Fused Shadow piece. It floated down, resting just above Naruto's outstretched hands. Midna appeared next to the blonde, grinning.

"That's it! Another Fused Shadow piece! You're pretty good at this, you know that?" She grabbed the piece with her orange hair before turning around and creating another portal. "Well then, only one more left! Shall we go?" She said returning to Naruto's shadow.

The blonde walked over to his sword, picking it up before sheathing it. He walked into the portal when he suddenly heard a voice.

"Oh, my head. I can't remember anything...Where am I?"

Naruto smiled, the darkness fading away, revealing a large Goron much like the guard he had beaten.

'He'll be fine.' Naruto thought as he was taken apart from head to toe.


Kenta: Okay, I noticed that unless you actually are playing the game, telling a story about it just isn't the same. I did that with Dangoro because I was trying to be realistic, but I felt like I should try making things seem a bit more interesting, giving the boss's more OOMPH to their Twilight Powers, since we're not beginners playing a game, we're readers reading a story of EPICOSITY...sorry Tobuscus, couldn't help it.

Anyway, I got the idea from playing Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 as the fights with Kakashi, Orochimaru, Sasuke and a bunch of other characters weren't told exactly like they were in the manga or the Anime. Hope you guys liked it! I'll try doing more of these from now on with Boss fights. I've been limiting myself on how small the area you fight bosses in, such as in Fyrus's cage, and I've finally been unleashed!

And lately I've been on this typing rampage...I just can't stop, so that's why I'm throwing out yet ANOTHER chapter a day later. I've actually just finished the NEXT chapter, and when I get back from my job tonight, I'll probably be working on the NEXT chapter. All these Ideas are flying through my head and I just can't wait to get them moving!
