Kenta: Hey guys! Been awhile huh?
Well college has been hell (Not really, just feel like complaining) but these past few days I've been running myself ragged, and am now down with a cold. Woohoo...(waves finger in mock excitement)
I still havn't really played TP a whole lot, still at the Temple of Time, but now that I've got the dominion rod, I've got a KILLER idea for the mini-boss! But yeah, lately I've been writing a bunch of Luigi fanfics lately because of the new Luigi's Mansion 2 game coming out this upcoming January, so I figured it was about time to update this baby again.
AND IT'S SUCH A GOOD LITTLE CHILD!
...except for the few beginning chapters i have to re-write...grumble..grumble...
Speaking of which, I also RE-re-edited the Prologue, as EndGame666 had made the comment:
'great fic, you do a realy good job of blending the 2 series. love the interactions between naruto and midna. in regards to naruto's origins and how he came to be here, i have to say that it clashes with your prolog where it looks more like minato him self sent him here and maybe because of his mom being a (possibly hypacritical) bitch. it was actualy writen thus:
"I'm sorry I had to do this to you Naruto, but with your mother in her current state, I had to. I hope that, when we meet again, you'll be able to forgive me for what I have done."
At the verry least, you should see that it seems more like minato did this as opposed to the goddesses. please correct/explain.'
Kenta: Ugh...this is the kind of stuff I was trying to fix, but even after the edit I still missed it. Thank you EndGame666! I went back and fixed it, so if it isn't too much trouble, I'd like you to go back and re-read it, just in case I missed anything else!
And before anyone says anything about them, Chapters 6-8 (titled 5-7) HAVE NOT BEEN EDITED YET! That means that I still have yet to go back and fix the Spirit's tale, including who told it, WHERE Naruto gets his outfit, and so on. So please be patient as I try to fix my old mistakes.
Anyway, as for the Sasuke and Zant Omakes, I've decided to add another one based off of the last chapter. If you guys don't remember, as it HAS been awhile, it's near the end of the previous chapter, so it shouldn't be too hard to refresh your memory.
Anyway, enjoy! (^w^)b

Quick New Legend:
Words
Underwater words
"Naruto Speak"
'Naruto thought'
"Midna Speak"
Sound Effects!
"Underwater Talk"
"So now we have to go down there..." Naruto Uzumaki said slowly as he looked out across the vast Lake Hylia.
"Yep. Good luck with that." Midna smiled at Naruto.
"You're coming with me..." Naruto deadpanned at the shadow imp. Midna merely shrugged before disappearing into his shadow. Naruto took a deep breath before stretching his arms and legs, taking a few more deep breaths before Midna popped back up, an irritated look on her face.
"You're stalling..." She said glaring at Naruto.
"Of course not!" Naruto loudly retorted as he touched his left flipper with his right hand. "I'm just...stretching! It's never a good idea to go swimming without properly stretching the ligaments!" He said as he stretched with the other arm.
"Do you even know what a ligament IS?"
"Of course I do!"
"Then what is it?"
"..."
"Admit it, you're scared." Midna suddenly started grinning.
"OF COURSE I AM!" Naruto shouted at her angrily, glaring at her. Midna gained a shocked look on her face when Naruto realized he didn't say what he wanted to. "I-I MEAN OF COURSE I'M NOT SCARED!" He said, turning around and blushing lightly. "I've fought WAY scarier things than going swimming!" Midna stared at him quietly as Naruto furiously tried to stretch more.
'Of course I'm terrified...' Naruto thought dryly in his mind, the image of Midna disappearing inside of the Twilight Bloater flashing in his mind. The thought of her drowning had terrified him enough as it was, and then to see her suddenly slip out of his reach...
She was the only friend who had actually been with him since he first left Ordon village. Sure she was bossy and rude, but...she was someone who had seen what he had seen, been through things that nobody else could even TRY to relate to. He dreaded the thought of their last adventure together, which was now right in front of him. Naruto tensed as the thought flashed through his mind once more. After this, would she go back to where she came from? Would she disappear from him forever?
Naruto felt a sickeningly cold hand clench his heart at the thought.
"If you're that scared of swimming with the armor on, then I'll help you." Midna said in a bossy, yet surprisingly gentle tone. Naruto turned to her, causing Midna to suddenly feel very guilty. "Wh-what's with all of the tears? Quit it!" She yelled awkwardly at the blonde. Naruto suddenly realized that there were tears pouring down his face.
"Oh! Uh...sorry." He quickly wiped his eyes before Midna made a waving motion to the water. As Naruto stepped into the water, his entire body shivered.
"What now?"
"IT'S FUCKING COLD!" Naruto shivered as he waded into the shallow water, rubbing his arms in an attempt to warm himself up. Midna couldn't help the giggle that escaped her. Naruto took a few more deep breaths before pulling up the mask and sinking into the water, holding his breath.
(I recommend for a better feeling of actually being 'underwater', pull up another tab, go to Youtube and type in 'Super Mario 64 Dire Dire Docks Music'. Listen to it while reading; it's got a really cool effect! :D )
Naruto slowly made his way into the water, having not swam in quite a long time. Sure, it was fun just splishing and splashing with Rusl and Tsunami when he was a kid, but the water where they always went to, he never went too far out. To put it short, Naruto felt kinda scared when he looked down and DIDN'T stop looking down as Lake Hylia continued to dive deeper.
'Okay, NOW I'm scared...but it's not as bad as earlier...'
Naruto suddenly began to panic before trying to swim upwards to the surface. His mind told him he needed to go back up for Oxygen, despite wearing the Zora Armor. Midna however, knew he was still wearing it, and had seen him put the mask on. As such, she suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a hand in front of him.
"Oh no you don't. You have the armor on, just breath easy."
Naruto had a horrified look on his face, which made Midna want to reconsider, but Naruto screwed his eyes shut and tried taking a deep breath. Midna smiled as Naruto lightly popped an eye open before looking around, air bubbles erupting from the mask.
"I, I can really breathe..." Naruto said slowly before Midna saw the mask slide upwards a bit. "THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!" He laughed, flopping backwards and starting to descend deeper into the lake. Midna couldn't help the smile on her face as Naruto began laughing and doing sumersaults underwater. To the blonde, it was like he was flying. Nothing was holding him back, save for the slight resistance of the water, which the Armor really warded off. It's aero-dynamic shape helped Naruto to really start speeding through the water. As Naruto started to speed swim across the lake, he saw Midna 'swimming' next to him, a light smile on her face. Naruto grinned foxily before saying, "Bet I can swim faster than you!" before suddenly taking off.
"YEAH RIGHT!" She giggled before rushing after the blonde. The two laughed and giggled as they spun around stone uprisings and little islands. Naruto even swam under the 'fun house' as he called it and pounded his fist on the wood underneath. He laughed as he heard the clown-guy above water freak out over the mysterious sound. Naruto smiled as he came to a slow, Midna swimming over to him "See? It's not so bad." She smiled again before turning back to the center of the lake and started swimming towards it. Naruto smiled as he heard Rusl's voice in the back of his head.
'The greatest moments in life are the ones where you can spend time with the people you care about.'
"I think I finally understand what you meant Rusl..." Naruto grinned before trying to catch up with the imp.
"Dude, I wouldn't go in there. There are, like, CRAZY spirits and monsters in there!" A Zora had said to Naruto as he tried to figure out a way into the blocked off temple. After blasting an underwater Geyser with one of Deidara's re-made water bombs, these much easier to use and actually worked, Naruto placed one more Water-bomb, letting the Geyser lift up the bomb before blasting open the entrance to the temple. "Dude, I, like, warned you!" He said as Naruto began swimming deeper into the lakebed temple.
Naruto paid him no mind as he looked down into the twisting, curving, spiral catacomb-like entrance. Taking another deep breath, Naruto pushed onwards. After a failed attempt to harm a jellyfish with his sword, Naruto rather wisely chose to dodge the rest of the tentacled creatures. Finally, Naruto came to a upwards curve, and when Naruto looked up, he swallowed heavily.
Those were alot of jellyfish.
A group of Chu Jelly creatures were slithering around the entrance to the Lakebed Temple, an unknowing force telling them to gaurd this place. The group of feirce Chu jellies would never run from a fight, no matter how intimidating the foe might be. They would not sleep, they would not eat, they would not REST until the intruder had died!
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Naruto screamed as he shot out of the water, his hooded cap flying off and revealing his now staticky hairstyle, not that it wasn't spiky enough before. Naruto shivered as the electricity from the Jellyfish died out before looking around the empty room he was now in. "Huh, I was expecting something else to be waiting for me...oh well. The jellyfish were enough to deal with I guess." Naruto shrugged before picking back up his cap and walking towards the door, pushing it to the side and walking into the next room. Meanwhile, behind some stone pillars lay those 'fierce' Chu jellies.
Like hell they were gonna fight that freaky, screaming blonde-haired guy.
As Naruto easily made his way into the main chaimber, he looked around at the vines surrounding the area. He felt as if some strange pressure was holding him down, though he wasn't sure what it was. As he walked further into the room, he found that there were multiple floors, meaning he had an entire temple to search for the Fused Shadow. This made him grin before some ghastly voices began to bounce off the walls. Naruto looked around, wondering if he heard right before closing his eyes, trying to filter through the voices.
'Leave this place...'
'Go, and never come back!'
'Have you come for the treasure? It is mine! Begone!'
'Please free me! I will do anything you want!'
Naruto opened his eyes and looked around, his eyes flashing yellow. It felt like his 'latent abilities' had turned on for a moment, and Naruto saw thousands of people floating around the chamber.
"What happened here? This temple is at the bottom of the lake, yet there are so many ghosts here..." Naruto looked around in confusion. One of the ghosts, a young boy, floated over to Naruto smiling sadly.
"Many people here have tried to claim the treasure of this place, yet many failed to do so. Others have succeeded, with a great price to pay. But can you claim the treasure without paying such a steep price? Or will you pay the greatest price of all?" The boy disappeared in front of Naruto, causing the blonde to narrow his eyes.
"I've come this far, I might as well go all the way." He said more to himself than anyone else as his eyes returned to normal and the ghosts disappeared. After running down the main flight of stairs, Naruto took a quick left and soon came upon a door with a lever hanging in front of it. Curious as to what it would do, Naruto jumped and grabbed the lever, which suddenly dropped a few inches before clicking. Naruto looked up in curiosity before noticing the staircase he had just run down mere moments ago suddenly spun around until the end of the stairway waited in front of him.
"COOL!" Naruto grinned in excitement.
After running through a gear-oriented room, where little gear-like platforms hung from an even BIGGER gear hanging from the ceiling, Naruto found a key and returned back to the main stair chaimber. He went through similar rooms like it, fighting a dragon/lizard warrior and a little midget sitting in a bubble before coming to a sloped walkway that seemed to spin upwards. Naruto looked down at the area in the center of the room to find it dry and empty, but with signs that water used to fill the emptiness. Naruto's eyes furrowed in thought as he wondered why the water was missing, despite this temple being so far underwater.
Naruto began climbing the stairway, fighting numerous Tektites, when he came face-to-face with yet ANOTHER Lizalfo, as it was apparently called. Naruto growled out his challenge as he charged the creature. The two warriors clashed blades, Naruto quickly finding out that this type of monster knew how to fight, as it continued to meet Naruto's sword with it's own with every slash the blonde made. Smashing it with his shield to dis-orient it, Naruto crouched low before striking upwards with his sword.
The Lizalfo was smacked back, its arm catching hold of a lever, similar to the one in the main chaimber, before it clicked down, dropping the creature. Naruto and the Lizalfo tensed as they heard a low rumbling sound. Naruto spun around to see a waterway open up before a flood of water blasted the two warriors down the smooth, spiral slope.
As the two began to descend the slope, the Lizalfo made it apparent it wasn't through fighting, as it immediately lunged at Naruto, swinging it's blade down at the blonde. Naruto glared as he jammed chakra into his hands and feet before pushing back and reaching for a candle that was sticking out of the wall. He paled as he barely moved anywhere, yet still managed to miss the oncoming blade. Naruto cursed before just trying to stand on the water. The blonde began to panic as realization hit him the moment he splished back into the water.
"I CAN'T USE MY CHAKRA!"
Kenta: Yes, to make this story more interesting, Naruto can't use Chakra while wearing the Zora Armor. Have to limit his use for the stuff SOMEHOW. And besides, he wouldn't be able to use the Clawshot as much with it! XD
So what will Naruto do now that he can't walk on water? Do the same damn thing everyone else does, groan and complain as he wanders through the water temple, hopelessly lost.
Just kidding. I won't let it drag out THAT long.
For those wondering about the spirits in the main chaimber, no they're not there in the game. I've been listening to how a lot of people alway moan and complain when it comes to a water temple, be it in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker or even Twilight Princess. For those of us who feel like we have lost our souls somewhere in the damn temple, you now know why there are so many in the main chaimber. It's just a small tribute to show that Nintendo can really kill us when it comes to Water Temples.
Heehee, added some NaruXMidna fluff with the swimming scene. While listening to the music and typing this, I have to admit I was thinking something like the 'Space Dance' scene from Wall-E. You know, where the two are dancing out in space? Just youtube it...
Anyway, here is that small Omake I was telling you about at the beginning of the chapter. Now I'm tired and going to bed. I have a cold, and it's past midnight. I should have been asleep HOURS ago...

Omake!
-Living with Zant-
Sasuke Uchiha sat down at a desk in his room where a book laid still, waiting to be opened. The black-haired boy opened up the journal and began to write.
Day A-5
"I've begun to keep a journal, trying to come to terms with my new life here. Zant, the guy who took me in, is, to put it bluntly, INSANE. The guy always has a tongue sticking out like a snake or something. He always pops up out of freaking nowhere, and has this odd quirk about 'old magic'. Fortunately, that I can deal with...UN-fortunately, he does something that I CANNOT stand. That, would be his unbearably annoying lau-"
"Eeeeeeeeeheeheeheeheeeheeehee!"
Sasuke unclenched his eyes and hands before looking at the sharp line he had scraped across the page. Taking a deep breath, Sasuke continued on a line beneath where the scrape was.
"His unbearable laugh…It's like a mouse on helium that was kicked in the nuts..."
