"Ya' can't handle my rap, yo timin's outta wack. If ya can't meet my beat, you got betta' luck in the street!"
"Octopops, ya beat's too neat, the way you slingin' them raps out, it knocks me off ma' feet!"
"Fool ya fool, That's how ya bribe! Not by spendin a dime, but with yo wicked sweet rhyme!"
"WOULD YOU IDIOTS FUCKING STOP!? THE WAY THAT YOU'RE TALKING IS PISSING ME OFF!"
"Hey! Hey! What can I do? My rap's so cool, it's making YOU rap too!"
"Midna, you can't just stop. Cuz if we didn't rock, we'd be nothin' but a flop!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGH!"
"Ugh...Another weird dream..." Naruto started, sitting up and shaking his head. He froze, blinking rapidly before looking down to find a blanket had been cast over his body and a pillow had been placed behind his head. He snapped his head up to find the ceiling of a house. "Uh...wh-...where am I?"
"Oh! You awake!" A voice said to his right. Naruto turned before looking up...
and up...
and up...
and up until he saw the face of a strange creature, looking very similar to the one Tenten was dressed up as.
"Uh..." Naruto paled. "H...hi..." He began to panic as he realized his weapons weren't with him, and he was alone with this...person...
Dammit! Why did his weapons have to keep disappearing on him!?
"Yeto found you near mountaintop, after I get present for Yeta." He started, Naruto realizing he was actually looking at the one who had saved him from freezing to death out in that blizzard. "You did not look good. So I take you back home."
"O-oh...thank you very much." Naruto smiled, silently berating himself for jumping the gun about this guy being a monster. Sure, he looked weird, but he had saved him. He must be a nice guy.
"You were carrying something...so I brought both of you home." The creature said, walking over to a table and putting down a bowl of water, a small towel hanging over his arm. Naruto's eyes widened, just about to ask where Midna was when he realized the creature had walked over to another bed, this one holding the small Twili.
"Midna!" Naruto jumped out of the bed before running over to the Twili. She was breathing heavily and constantly shivering.
"She will be fine." The big white creature next to him said. "Yeto find you before attacked by monsters." He turned and smiled at the blonde. "All will be fine." Naruto turned to the giant yeti before a relieved smile settled on his face.
"Thank you...Yeto, right?" Naruto watched the large creature nod as it dipped the cloth into some warm water before placing it over Midna's head. "Is there anything I can do for you? You saved our lives...there has to be something." Yeto smiled as he looked over to the blonde swordsman. He opened his mouth to say no, but a thought crossed his mind, causing him to stop just before he began to speak. "There is, isn't there!?" Naruto was suddenly grinning wildly, excited at the thought of being able to repay the kind Yeti whom he had thought badly of before. The large creature began to chuckle, a deep rumble bouncing out from behind Yeto's kind smile.
"Thank you human, but you need rest." Naruto thumped his chest, grinning proudly.
"I'm really quick to heal! Don't worry about me! Besides, you saved my life and it looks like something's bothering you. If there's something you need done, please tell me." The blonde smiled brightly to the large yeti. A low rumbling began to erupt from Yeto as he continued to chuckle.
"Very well. Follow." Yeto quickly dried the wet area on the Twili's forehead before moving the bed closer towards a fire that was burning in the room. He then began walking towards a door across the room motioning Naruto to follow him. "Yeta and Yeto live in mansion at bottom of mountain." He said walking into another room, which also had a fireplace. Naruto then noticed that there was another yeti sitting next to a large couch by the fireplace. This one was smaller in size, and it's fur wasn't as wild and fuzzy as Yeto's. Actually, it kind of looked like it was wearing a sweater...
"Husband..." The smaller yeti said, barely a whisper before coughing. "How are...little ones...?"
"They okay." Yeto said, walking over to the smaller yeti. "But Yeta needs rest..." Naruto smiled as Yeto slowly nuzzled against the sickly Yeta. The two really gave off a warm, fuzzy feeling. He almost felt awkward standing there. "Yeto going out to get more plants...make Yeta feel better." He slowly stood up before walking over towards the door, putting a horse saddle on as a hat before looking back to Naruto and nodding. The blonde quickly followed after the giant yeti before walking out into the snowy white mountainside.
"We're...near the bottom of the mountain..." Naruto said, noticing the top of Zora's domain in the far off distance.
"Yeto sometimes goes to spring to get fresh water." The giant yeti smiled before turning away from the Zora's home. "But now, Yeta needs plants."
"Oh, so you're gathering herbs..." Naruto nodded in understanding. "Is Yeta sick?" The blonde asked as he walked with the giant Yeti through the snow, trying NOT to ask why in the world the large creature was wearing a freaking HORSE SADDLE as a motherfucking HAT.
"Yes. Yeta find strange mirror, then monsters come to house, then Yeta become sick. Not sure if monsters or just simple cold." Naruto's eyes widened as Yeto continued to walk through the forest.
"Wait, WHAT happened?" Naruto quickly ran faster, getting in front of the large yeti. He was instead picked up and put on Yeto's shoulder, the creature smiling before continuing on.
"Yeta and Yeto hear big sound outside house. Go outside and find strange mirror. Yeta really happy to find mirror, so bring it inside. But then, monsters come to home. Mirror bring monsters to house. Yeto thinks so." He nodded.
"Would you be mad if we took it?" Naruto asked, looking down at Yeto. The large yeti suddenly burst out laughing, shaking the small blonde on the creature's large shoulders. Naruto gripped the saddle-hat for dear life.
"WAHAHAHA! GO AHEAD! Maybe monster's go away!" Yeto laughed loudly. "But you can get mirror when we go back home. Right now, we need herbs to make little wife better." Naruto grinned. Maybe getting the mirror shard was going to be easier than he thought.
"Hey, if she really is sick...why not just make her some soup?" Naruto asked, thinking about the sickly yeti. Yeto suddenly stopped, his eyes wide before smacking a hand into his now open palm.
"AHA! GOOD IDEA!" He suddenly spun around, going back the way he came. "And Yeto still have fresh fish! Caught yesterday when found you!" He grinned as he suddenly started sprinting back to the house. "Oh! And talk to Wife. She knows where Mirror is."
"Oh...little human...you looking for mirror? *cough*" Yeta looked behind her, where a small table was. "Husband put mirror in bedroom, but you need key to open door." She motioned to the table, where Naruto noticed a map was placed. He scootched the table closer to Yeta, the small female pointing her tired head towards a back room. "Head fuzzy...I think key here..." Naruto smiled to the smaller yeti.
"That's fine, you just need to rest. Yeto is making you soup, so just relax." Naruto grinned as he stood up before beginning to walk towards the back of the mansion.
"Oh! little Human! *cough* *cough* Be careful, monsters come into mansion." Naruto smiled as he turned around, nodding at the sick yeti.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of those guys. You guys don't need any hostile guests in THIS house." Naruto grinned, his sword and shield now comfortably bouncing against his back.
Naruto pulled his scarf back up to his nose, trying to ward the cold off before a strong gust of wind blasted his hat off and into the courtyard.
"Dammit..." Naruto grumbled as he walked over to the hat, picking it up before staring at it. Glancing around, Naruto figured nobody was looking, so he folded the hat before tying it around his forehead like a headband. Giggling giddily, as he hadn't done this for awhile, Naruto looked up to a large tower in the middle of the courtyard. "That's probably the bedroom." Naruto mused to himself before hopping over to the door. He looked up at the giant heart-shaped lock keeping the room shut. They must have been REALLY worried about the mirror to get a freaking huge lock like this. It had been awhile since he last saw one of these "Boss Locks", though it was in the shape of a heart.
"Which means something is gonna end up being behind this door..." Naruto frowned. He hated it when he got that bad premonition of his. He knew something bad was going to be behind it, but he knew the mirror was in there as well. Guess it made sense for something big to be next to the mirror shard...
"I could probably bust through this door with my Rasengan..." Naruto mumbled, looking down to his hand where a large, rotating blue sphere appeared. "But..." His eyes narrowed as the chakra sphere disappeared. "This isn't a dungeon or something...it's someone's house..." Naruto shook his head, turning away from the door. "Guess I'll just have to look for the key." He looked over to the left side of the manor, where he believed Yeta had pointed out. "Well, let's get started then." He said, hopping over to another door before he heard a large rumble. Slowly turning to his right, Naruto noticed a VERY large ice scultpure was looking at him with a LOT of eyes. Naruto took a deep breath, trying to relax. "Geez, thought it was a monster...just a scultpure..." Naruto opened his eyes again to see the sculpture was still staring at him, before several of its eyes blinked. Naruto's eyes suddenly became very strained, wondering if he really just saw the ice sculpture fucking BLINK at him. The blonde slowly began reaching for the door, the ice sculpture's eyes narrowing as Naruto reached for the door. The closer Naruto's hand got to the door, the angrier the creature looked, before Naruto distinctly heard GROWLING coming from the sculpture. Naruto slowly began pulling his hand away from the door handle, the creature's growling subsiding, and it's eyes slowly becoming more relaxed. Just as Naruto started reaching for the handle again, it's eyes narrowed and it started growling again.
'it's going to end up firing a lazer beam or something...isn't it...' Naruto thought, staring at the ice sculpture, sweat drops beginning to trickle down the back of his head. He pulled his hand back before turning to walk away, the creature's eyes closing, save for two that were still keeping a close watch of the blonde. Naruto walked behind a small wall, looking down at his hand, the Rasengan reappearing. "I might not have used it on the door, but I'd say this would be a good time to use this..." He grinned, a clone appearing next to him.
The blonde quickly ran up the small tower that was the bedroom, waiting for his clone to distract the ice sculpture as he created another Rasengan in his other hand with the help of a second clone. The clone on the ground turned to the ice creature, sticking it's tongue out and making fun of it as he reached for the door. The Freezard roared before shooting out an icy blast, just as the real Naruto leapt from the tower.
"RASEN RENDAN!" Naruto shouted, the creature exploding into hundreds of pieces before the blonde stood up victoriously, clenching his hand. "It's so fucking nice to remember my techniques..." He said crying manly tears. He then turned back to the door, seeing his clone had been frozen solid but was flipping the double bird to the real blonde. "Oooooh you ass-hole..." Naruto glared at the clone as he punted it harshly, the clone disappearing and the ice shattering.
Opening up the door, Naruto found almost the entire room was made of ice. He slowly tapped his boot to the icy floor, immediately slipping onto his butt and beginning to slide across the floor. An icy chill running down his spine, Naruto quickly flipped his hands back into a cross-shape, a single clone appearing in front of him before the blonde kicked off of him, going backwards just as an icy spear cracked into the ground where he should have been. Finally hitting a non-frozen surface, Naruto looked up, almost not seeing anything, before the slightest of movements from the second floor caught his attention. Son of a bitch, was he fucking blind!? He hadn't even noticed the entire roof was missing from the room!
"What the hell?" Naruto's suddenly eyes widened as a tall, lanky creature made of ice created another ice spear before tossing it at the blonde. Naruto quickly rolled back onto his feet before jumping up by the wall, quickly pulling out his sword and shield before hiding behind it, catching sight of another spear that was tossed to him. The blonde smacked against the icy wall, grunting before landing heavily on the ground. Glaring, Naruto looked up to see the clone he had jumped off of had leapt up onto the second floor and was currently attacking whatever the fuck had thrown the spear at him. Quickly jumping back onto his feet, Naruto hopped up to the second floor to see two weird, lanky ice creatures were creating spears out of freaking nothing and chucking it at the blonde's clone, one finally hitting it after pinning it to the wall. A weird, hazy flashback of being stuck on a giant spiderweb flashed across the real Naruto's eyes, but the blonde quickly shook off the flashback before creating two more clones. The three blondes glared at the two creatures in front of them before all three disappeared from sight. Two Narutos appeared behind the creatures, slashing across the backs of the Chillfos, while the final, real Naruto jumped high into the air, slamming the sword down into the Chillfos' chest. Naruto quickly hopped, away, taking a deep breath before noticing both of the chillfos' reformed, spinning back around before pulling out another spear each.
"Oh you've gotta be shitting me." Naruto grit his teeth as he and his clones once more leapt at the icy warriors.
"It's done." Sasuke said, standing in front of Zant in his throne room. The King of Twilight stared at Sasuke from behind his mask, merely nodding. Sasuke glared at the man. He was right. Something was definitely off with the psycho. "Is there anything else?" He said carefully, the Twilight King shaking his head. Sasuke watched him cautiously before beginning to walk back towards the door.
"Sasuke Uchiha." Zant started, Sasuke immediately freezing in place. He rarely ever spoke his full name. He slowly turned around, expecting to be lashed across the face. "Our time is almost here...soon...the world will belong to the Twilight." He said quietly. The psychopath was biding his fucking time? What the hell was he waiting for!? Sasuke glared at him before Zant took a deep, almost painful, breath. The Uchiha's eyes widened, a thought suddenly occurring to the Uchiha. He slowly nodded, saying "I understand." before quickly turning around and exiting the room.
"He's weak..." Sasuke walked briskly down the streets of the City of Twilight, his eyes wide and strained. "I don't know why, but he's weak...frail...he can barely stand, let alone hit anyone..." He picked up his pace, almost running to a private area of his. It was far off from the town, a place he went to when he needed space from Zant. It was also where he had been doing his recent brainstorming. He walked up to a small shack that he himself had created, hating the atmosphere of the Palace, before slamming open the door and quickly walking inside. The shack was built into the side of a cliff; he had carved out the area himself so as to better camouflage it's location. If he was honest though, the cave was right underneath the Palace of Twilight, and he had often thought of creating a secret entrance to get into the palace from.
But now was not the time for that. Now was the time to finish his planning. With Zant in his weakened state, he could probably beat him. If he was lucky at least. But he didn't want to just beat him. He wanted to HUMILIATE HIM before killing him. He had deserved the humiliation at the very least. Sasuke's scars pulsed in excitement, the Uchiha grinning as he picked up several small crystals, black and red in color. He had called them Sharingan, though he didn't really know why. He assumed it was because of the black and red coloring. He would see a strange eye marking flash in his mind, as if trying to remember something, but didn't think much of it. After all, these wouldn't change his eyes. The Uchiha began chuckling darkly.
"With these, I could kill him. All I need to do is perfect the reaction. So far, it will only last a total of five minutes." He grinned, clinking the crystals in a bottle. "But soon, I won't even need these..." He shivered in excitement. "Soon, the Twilight Realm will be MINE."
After what seemed like an eternity of slashing and hacking at the damn Chillfos, Naruto was panting, glaring hell's fury at the damn things. "Fucking hell, I've been smashing these things for forever! WHY THE HELL AREN'T THEY DEAD!?" He growled as he lunged at them one more time, slashing off their hands before punting them into the walls, quickly slicing the blade horizontally and cutting their heads off. Panting, Naruto glared as the icy monsters quickly reformed, pulling their spears out once more. "I'm getting REALLY sick of this..." Naruto gasped, glaring at the creatures.
The Head...
Naruto stopped moving. He could have sworn he heard a voice. Quickly pulling up his sword and shield, blocking the two chillfos' jump attack, Naruto's eyes widened, noticing the back of his hand was glowing yellow.
Destroy The Head...
Naruto glared at his hand. He HAD been smacking the head. He'd fucking cut it off too! Naruto then took a closer look at the heads. He hadn't completely destroyed it though...maybe that's what Link was pointing out. He had only cut it off, since most living creatures, without a head, tended to die. Maybe it was more like a Deku Baba, where the head could re-spawn the rest of the body...
Naruto flung his sword and shield up, throwing their weapons away from the blonde before pulling his arm back. His hand began glowing yellow as the energy quickly transferred to the Master Sword, Naruto's voice quickly rising as he did a massive spin attack, the Chillfos disappearing in a flash of light. Naruto panted heavily as he looked down at the ground, the spears melting away before completely disappearing. "Okay, *huff* it's official, I fucking HATE those things..." He glared at the ground before continuing on into the manor, finally coming upon a room that had a large chest. "NOW we're talking." Naruto sighed, shaking his head. "Geez, those two were like a freaking mini-boss..." Naruto stopped in his tracks. Now that he thought about it, ever since the first dungeon he went to, there was always a room with a special enemy before he could find the boss key...almost like a pattern.
"Well this 'pattern' sucks..." He grumbled as he walked over to the chest. "At least I don't have to fight another one, since this is the-" He opened up the chest, his face falling as there was not a key, but several different food items inside. "Pantry..." The blonde picked up a familiar looking pumpkin, one he would see in many of the farms back in Ordon, before glaring at it with wide, pissed off eyes. "I found...the FUCKING..." He began twitching violently, the blue of his eyes fading to a very deep, crimson red.
Yeto hummed gently, stirring the pot of soup. He glanced to his left, the Twili sleeping quietly off to the side, far enough away from the fire so as not to be caught ablaze, but close enough to feel the warmth of the flames. He had decided to just move Midna to the kitchen, that way he could both make the soup and nurse her back to health. Besides, once this soup was finished, she could have some too.
"PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNTTRRRYYYYYYYYYY!?"
The loud shout caused Yeto to jump in fright, silently wondering if the small human was all right. The shout seemed to have woken Midna up however, as she slowly began to stir.
"Ugh...what...where am I?" She quietly said, trying to stand up, only for her body not to move. "Wha...why can't I..." She tried to even sit up, her limbs not responding.
"Oh! Little one awake!" Yeto suddenly said, walking over to the quickly panicking Midna. "Small human is fighting monsters in back of house. You must rest." He said taking the blanket and tucking Midna back in. The imp stared up at the yeti in shock.
"I swear he knows the strangest people..." She muttered, just letting it go and laying back down. She then noticed there was a peculiar smell in the air. "What is that smell?" She asked, Yeto smiling.
"I am making soup! Make little one and wife better!" Midna glanced over to him.
"Your...wife?" Yeto began to beam a bright smile, reminding her very much of Naruto.
"Yes! Little wife, her name Yeta. She very nice, but always worry if she is pretty or not." He suddenly began laughing. "HAHAA! But she very beautiful. Others not sure, but Yeto think so." He continued to stir the broth with the fish in it. He felt like there was something missing though...like the soup needed more flavoring. "Yeta always worry about things. Makes Yeto want to say silly things to cheer her up." He smiled as Midna stared up at the ceiling, thoughts of a stupid fox-faced blonde crossing her mind. "She worry something terrible happen, Yeto throw snowball at her, make her laugh and forget. She say she run away from Yeto one day, Yeto laugh and hold her tight."
I don't care what happened to your people in the past. All I care about is what's happening to you now.
"..."
"Silly little wife." Yeto laughed, shaking his head. "No matter what she say, Yeto will always be there for her."
A loud slam suddenly caught Midna's attention, though she couldn't turn her head far enough, or get up for that matter, to see who had come inside. Yeto, surprised at first, stared at Naruto in amusement. He thought he had blue eyes before, but maybe Yeto's eyes had become bad?
"I found the FUCKING pantry..." Naruto grumbled, accentuating the 'F' of his curse as he walked over to the soup pot. "Here..." He said, holding up several ingredients as Yeto's eyes widened.
"AHA! THAT'S what Yeto needed! Soon soup taste fantastic!" After taking the items and dumping them into the scalding hot soup, Yeto turned to Naruto. "But why were you in pantry?" Naruto began grinding his teeth, trying not to show his irritation.
"Yeta said the key was in that back room..."
"WAHAHAHAHAAAA!" Yeto burst out laughing, Naruto's face turning red in embarrassment...or was it in anger? "HAHAHA! Yeta sick, so she not remember where key is! Wahahahahaaa!"
"Shaddap! It's not funny!"
"HAHAHA! Don't worry human, huuuuuhahah, key in far corner of mansion, past bedroom. Not hard to find. Just look for room with armor suit." Naruto put a hand to his forehead, trying to take deep breaths to calm down as he untied his hat-band, putting it on normally.
"All right, thanks..." He then glanced at the bed, not able to clearly see Midna's face. "How's she doing?"
"Yeto said before, she will be fine." Naruto watched the bed for a moment before Yeto continued. "Is she little wife?" Naruto's face instantly turned red, not noticing Midna's had also turned bright red.
"WH-WHAT!? N-NO! N-NOTHING LIKE THAT!" He snapped his head to Yeto, quickly waving his arms back and forth as steam erupted from his ears.
"Really?"
"Uh...er..." Naruto's blush intensified, scratching the back of his head. "No...she uh...wouldn't exactly look at me like that..." His eyes suddenly softened. "Actually...she's really the only one I can talk to, if I'm honest with myself..." His voice lowered, thinking back to their first meeting. "She was really rude when I first met her, and she can be pretty bossy..." Zelda disappearing in front of him and Midna crossed his mind. "But, we've both been through a lot...and she's been with me through almost my entire journey..." He looked back to the bed. "I...I really don't know where I'd be without her..."
"HAHA! So she like half-wife!" Naruto blushed once more, though this time with a smirk.
"Well, I wouldn't say wife, but definitely a friend..." He started chuckling. "Though she probably looks at me more like a servant than anything else, running around fetching dangerous things for her." He suddenly started laughing, causing Yeto to look at him strangely. "But I have to admit, I've never had so much fun!" He laughed, locking his arms behind his head as his eyes began to water. "I've lost track of how many people I've met, places I've been, things I've seen...and she's seen it all with me!" He glanced at the bed, a grin still on his face. "She's an irreplaceable person to me. It's scary thinking one day she'll have to go." He then turned back to Yeto, still smiling. "But when she does go, I know that whoever she meets, they'll be in for one hell of a ride!" He laughed as a few stray tears fell down his face, Yeto breaking out a smile of his own.
"You are a very strange human." The giant snow creature laughed. "I have never met a man whose eyes change color, or even laughs despite being so sad." He poured some of the soup into a bowl before handing it to Naruto. "Could you give soup to Yeta? I will make sure the little one here will make a full recovery!" He laughed, as Naruto took the soup, smiling.
"If you think I'm strange now, you should ask Midna when she wakes up what SHE thinks of me!" He laughed as he walked out of the room. Yeto stood there for a few moments, slowly stirring the soup before pouring another bowl and walking over to the bed, setting the soup down on a small table next to it.
"Well, what do YOU think of him?" He said quietly, walking back over to the pot. Midna stared up at the ceiling, a solid stream of tears flowing from her only visible eye.
"I think he's a dork..." She said quietly.
"Indeed he is." Yeto smiled. "But he is a dork you want to stay beside. Hmm?"
Thankfully Killer Bee's rhymes aren't that good, though there's no need to brood. I just suck at rhymin', something to do with the timin'. XD
The best Part of Ninja Storm Revolution was Killer Bee's animated sequences. Hands down.
Also, for a while I was thinking of making the Freezard guarding the door into a little pet for Naruto, but decided against it. He wouldn't exactly be able to take it with, and most likely, it would have just stayed with the yeti couple.
And I'm sorry if Yeto seems...off...it was actually REALLY difficult trying to play his character out...he ended up sounding like that old man whose wife has already passed away, and not really the childish character he is...I'm sorry! *claps hands and bows for forgiveness*
This was another shorter chapter than usual, but the next chapter is going to be HUGE, covering both the mini-boss AND the Boss. Please bear with me! Like I said earlier, I plan to have the end of Snowpeak up by Christmas, as a little end of the year present and since I've been so lazy about this lately. Again, thank you all for continuing to ask for the next chapter! At the very least, it shows you guys DO like the story and want to read more, so thank you very much.
