Kenta: Hey guys! I know it's been a long time since I last updated, but I've been working and trying to get ready for college, so I havn't really had a whole lotta time to work on ANY stories. And since I havn't updated this story in a while, I figured I might as well. :D

So here ya go!

A series of dull clacking sounds echoed around the silent room, bouncing off of the walls as two figures entered the room. One, a blue nine-tailed fox, whose claws clacked with every step it took. The other, a black and grey imp with a strange stone headpiece, whom was on the back of the fox.

"Where is everybody?" Midna spoke aloud, looking around the empty room. Naruto kept shooting worried glances all around him. Something seemed off. Zora's domain was completely frozen, and even HE knew that this place should be covered in water. Rusl had told him stories about his travels when Naruto was just ten years old. It was what made him want to explore the Forest temple in the first place. He told him about a snowy glacier, a swirling desert, a magnificent castle, and a beautiful lake. He also told him that the lake was filled because of a great waterfall, and at the top there was a throne room for the Zoras.

'Many people know the Zoras as a fish-like race.' Rusl said to the ten year old blonde, who listened with excitement. 'But there was an old friend of mine, a Hylian from the north, that fell in love with a Zora.' Naruto pouted.

'Aww, why is there always some kind of romance with your stories? I want more action!' Rusl smirked knowingly at the blonde.

'So my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw you sighing over that Sakura girl.' The blonde suddenly tensed, a blush flaring across his face as he tried to convince Rusl that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Naruto shook his head at the memory. This was no time to reminisce about the past. The fox walked further into the room before multiple black pillars slammed into the ice around him, creating a barrier.

"They just don't stop do they?" Midna sighed as she shook her head. The fox growled as he looked up, a black and red portal appearing before dropping four Shadow Beasts. The blonde growled before charging at one of them. The other three quickly charged at him from behind, causing Midna to quickly notice them. "Naruto," She started, but a tiny shockwave of energy suddenly went through her. She looked down at the fox before three other nine-tailed foxes appeared, charging at one beast apiece.

THWACK!

WHAM!

POW!

BAM!

POOF!

POOF!

POOF!

Midna looked around her to find the Shadow Beasts all dead, smoke in place of the three foxes that were there a moment ago. She quickly looked back at Naruto to see the fox smiling at her. The imp shook her head as a black and turqoise portal appeared above the two. "Idiot. At least warn me before you do something like that." She sighed. Midna looked down at the ice, amazed that it hadn't cracked after the Twilight Pillars had pierced it.

"NARUTO!" She suddenly shouted, startling the fox into jumping away from his previous spot, expecting another attack. "NO! LOOK DOWN!" She jumped off of the fox's back. Naruto looked down before his eyes widened. Underneath the thick layer of ice, the Zoras were frozen solid. "What in the world happened here?" Naruto walked up to the imp, shaking his head in confusion. Naruto's ears perked up before he started sniffing the ice. He suddenly yipped, pointing his head at the Zoras beneath them. "Are they still alive?" Naruto shook his head up and down. "Well we can't just LEAVE them can we? But how do we melt the ice?" Midna jumped back onto him before she laid on his back, crossing her legs and putting her arms behind her head in thought. Naruto moved off of the ice, since his claws were freezing, and sat down on a rocky area to the sides of the frozen pool.

'Geez, my feet are freezing! I wish I still had that stupid rock from Death Mountain...THAT'S IT!' The fox suddenly jumped up, Midna falling off of him.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?" She growled before a tongue slid up her face, the fox bouncing around in excitement. "WHAT ARE YOU BOUNCING AROUND FOR?" Midna suddenly gasped. Did he already think of something? "Well? What did you get?" Naruto ran past her, a tail grabbing her before she was yanked away.

'There's already a portal here, and same with Death Mountain! But since I can't talk, I'll have to show her where we need to go!' Naruto thought, running to the tip of the waterfall. It was a pain trying to climb up this stupid thing, but he had had some fun before climbing the frozen waterfall.

~Earlier~

Naruto and Midna reached the bottom of the waterfall, the two having climbed the rest of the way since the Kargarok hadn't dropped them off at the source.

"Stupid bird." Midna growled. "If the damn thing had listened then we wouldn't have HAD this problem." Naruto merely chuckled as he ran, noticing snow falling around them. "What is this stuff?" Midna suddenly asked, looking around in confusion. Naruto suddenly skid to a halt, throwing Midna off of his back and into a pile of snow.

"YOU'VE NEVER SEEN SNOW BEFORE?" Naruto shouted, shocked at what Midna had just said, and was quickly just as shocked at how he had been able to speak again.

"THIS STUFF IS FREEZING COLD!" Midna popped out of the pile of snow, her teeth chattering as she rubbed her shoulders. Naruto quickly trotted over to her before wrapping the imp in a few of his tails, keeping her from the cold. "Y-you called it s-snow?" The fox nodded its head. "Wh-what do you do w-with this stuff?"

Naruto suddenly smirked. He made two of his tails form a snowball before picking out a Twilight Bat. With precise aim, he hit the bat, making it quickly explode into black and orange smoke. "You use it to beat bats?" Naruto shook his head no. He unraveled two of his tail, just enough to keep Midna warm, before making two snowballs. He handed one to Midna before pointing at himself. He then carved some words into the snow next to the two. It said 'Snowball Fight'.

"So, it's like a game then?" Naruto nodded his head up and down rapidly. Midna looked at the snowball before smirking.

PAF!

Naruto shook the snow off his head, Midna laughing. "BULLS-EYE!" She cackled before she was hit with a hail of snowballs. Midna shook off the snowman that had formed around her before glaring at the blue fox. Naruto faked innocence as he quickly hid eight of his tails and making his ears drop, a small smile on his face. "Oh, so THAT'S how it is huh?" Midna grinned evilly as her hair formed a gaint hand, quickly scooping up a giant chunk of snow. The blue fox turned stony white as the snowball was launched at him.

'Oh shit...'

POOF!

"IT'S ON FOXY!" Midna giggled as she and the fox began a snowball fight.

Naruto lept off the tip of the waterfall, falling towards the bottom.

"Naruto, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Midna shouted. He had DIED the last time he had done this!

As the wind whipped past them, Naruto's eyes closed. He could see himself, dressed in Orange and black, wearing a headband. The figure reacted to whatever his mind told him to do. He jumped, did a backflip, and landed on one hand. He then jumped back onto his feet before performing what Naruto's mind willed him to do.

This was Naruto. The blonde that kept talking in his head. The one who those voices kept calling out to. It wasn't just Naruto. It was himself. It was the farmer who had lived not just another life, but many other lives.

The ninja placed his hands into a cross-shaped handsign before shouting out his famous jutsu.

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!"

Naruto snapped his eyes open, another pulse of chakra erupting from him, startling Midna. Four more foxes appeared and the fox that Midna was on top of jumped off of each clone, landing safely in a pile of snow. When Naruto popped out of the snow, he started trotting a small distance away before noticing Midna was not on his back. It was, instead, a snowman. The fox looked back to his landing zone, noticing Midna glaring at him. He shook off the snowman before slowly trotting back over to the imp.

"If you could do that, WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP YOURSELF FROM DYING AT THE FRICKEN' LAKE?" Midna growled at the fox. Naruto's ears drooped as he looked down. Even he didn't know. Ever since he had that dream, he could see that orange ninja whenever he closed his eyes. He would smile at him and wave before he would wait for Naruto's mind to tell him what to do. If he pictured himself jumping, he would jump. If he pictured himself running, he would run, but as a ninja would, with his arms hanging behind him. But if he pictured himself using the Shadow Clone Jutsu, he felt his body pulse, his chakra erupting from him and forming clones. He didn't know why it did that, but if it meant he could use Shadow Clones again, he'd take it.

Midna sighed at the fox. "Forget it. Now what did you find out?" Midna asked, crossing her arms. Naruto quickly perked his ears up before running over to another pile of snow and, making two more foxes, began constructing a snow sculpture. Midna quirked an eyebrow in interest as Naruto started, but as Naruto continued, her eye widened before a smile graced her face. She knew EXACTLY what he had in mind.

"Excellent. ALOT better then what you usually think up." She walked over to the smiling foxes before looking up at the sculpture of Death Mountain, a small fox and imp at the top of the mountain. "You want me to warp you there?" The foxes nodded enthusiastically before the clones dispelled, leaving only one Naruto. "All right then. To Death Mountain!" She snapped her fingers, taking Naruto apart and disappearing herself.

Naruto watched in odd fascination as Midna lifted a rock THAT FREAKING HUGE and warping it back to Zora's domain. He could have sworn her eyes went white when she screamed, and thought that it actually hurt her when she did that, but apparently she was fine as when she came back down to warp him, she gave him a look.

"What? Stop staring at me like that! Let's get going!"

Splashing into the water, Naruto grinned. This water felt niiiiiiiice...

'Whoops! Can't fall asleep here.' Naruto thought, swimming towards the edge. The fox shook itself, water splashing everywhere.

"As if I wasn't wet enough..." Midna sighed as she shook her head, tossing some water out of her eyesight. "Still," She started, glancing at the molten meteor at the bottom of the throne room, "who would have thought that something so dangerous would come in handy?" She grinned before kicking Naruto's sides. "Come on! We saved the Zoras, and we got the waterflow back to normal! Let's go see the Spirit of Lake Hylia!"

Naruto rolled his eyes, looking around at the groaning and panting Zoras. Knowing that they'd be fine, Naruto began running back towards the waterfall.

"WAIT!"

Naruto stopped and looked around. Midna had heard the voice as well apparently, as she was looking around as well. The fox began walking back towards the throne room, when a faint golden figure appeared above the water he had just come from.

"AAAHHHHHHHH! GHOOOOOST!" Naruto suddenly screamed, jumping behind Midna.

The Imp stared in pity at the horrified fox.

'He must have had a bad experience with ghosts...' Midna thought idly as she turned back to the floating woman, who was currently giggling at the fox.

"Calm down Naruto, I'm not going to hurt you." She spoke calmly with a smile on her face. Naruto's ears perked up at the mention of his name.

'Who are you?' The blue fox thought.

"You don't remember me? Well, you WERE quite little when I last saw you." She giggled upon seeing the fox's shocked look. "Anyway, I must thank you for saving my people and restoring the spring, which is the water source for all the land of Hyrule." Naruto sat next to Midna, who listened with half-interest. "My name is Koyuki, I'm an old friend of your gaurdian, Rusl."

Naruto stared at the Hylian ghost in shock, as his jaw was on the ground. Midna quickly slammed his jaws shut, cracking a smirk from the ghost before she continued. "In life, I was the elder and queen of this Zora village. But the dark ones who came before you...they executed me as a message to my people, so as not to rise against them."

The fox's ears dropped.

"Naruto. I have a favor to ask of you." Naruto perked his ears back up. "Before I was executed, I sent my two children, Ralis and Haku, to inform princess Zelda of our fate. However I feel that danger has followed them from this once doomed place. Ralis has died, and is now with his father. But I cannot rest in peace until my daughter, Haku, is safe. Even now, I can feel her prescence growing fainter. Please, save my daughter. If you do, I will bestow upon you the Protection of Water. With it, you will be able to swim and breath in great depths, as if you yourself were a Zora."

Naruto nodded his head, smiling. 'It's the least I can do for you.'

Koyuki smiled warmly to the fox. "Thank you, Naruto." The ghostly mother disappeared.

"So, if you help save the princess, you'll be able to swim like a Zora?" Midna pondered as she put her hands behind her head. "Well?" She grinned to the fox. "What will you do? Hero?" She then pulled lightly on Naruto's ear. "But I don't suppose it would be a good idea for you to go see the princess as a fox, now would it? So no hurry to return to the world of Light, huh?"

Naruto shook his head as he started to head for the entrance. It was time to get back to lake Hylia.
