Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto or Legend of Zelda.
Note: This storys pairings are locked in. Naruto x Hinata x Kurenai x Konan are the pairings. I don't want to overwhelm myself with so many woman. I'd have to write on how they met and how they developed as a couple and such, and i can only do so many without my brain frying. Anyway here's a new chapter for you guys.

Chapter 6: Water Temple
00000000
Naruto and Hinata had travelled for about 3 days to get to Kiri. Hinata didn't have Narutos insane stamina so they had to stop and rest for a few hours each break.
Naruto didn't mind in the least. He likes to view the scenery without being on a mission and not admire the sites. He loved nature and just about everything about it. All animals loved him for some strange reason. He figured it was due to the fox sealed in him that he attracted wildlife to him due to the Kyubi leaking his chakra every once in a while.
He also thought about something else that was troubling. The Akatsuki. They already started to make their move as given evidence on his ex friend Gaara. He knew they would send Itachi and Kisame after him again like they did when he was a kid. Except this time they were going to be fighting to capture him not test his abilities. He needed to train some more. He also wished Hinata didn't come with him for this particular reason.
He knew the Akatsuki would use an underhanded ability and take her hostage in exchange for himself. She would be caught so easily. She wasn't weak especially since he started to train her. She just wasn't at Itachi or Kisames level.
Then there was his 'best friend'. Sasuke Uchiha the last of his clan besides his elder brother Itachi Uchiha. The guy had tried to murder him in cold blood to go to Konohas greatest traitor since Madara Uchiha. Orochimaru had more or less made Sasuke about Jonin level or a bit above. The snake may have been elated to have Sasuke, but even he wasn't a fool. He wouldn't make Sasuke stronger then himself for fear of betrayal and possibly his death.
He also came to terms with something. If he saw Sasuke Uchiha he would kill him on sight and drag his corpse back to Konoha as proof. They would probably hate him more, but he could care less what they thought about him. If you have to live your life based on other peoples expectations then you might as well do something they wouldn't dare think you would. He would betray the village soon after he went to all the temples and start his own village with no war, no violence aside from friendly spars for training, no political bullshit of any kind that would put anyone above the other. EVERYONE would be equal no matter who was stronger. They were all human beings, and they could all die from a mortal wound just like the other could.
He was so lost in his thoughts he didn't notice they were coming upon the mist village.
"Naru-koi pay attention." Hinata said gently as she shook him a little to get his attention.
"Huh? Oh Hina-hime something wrong?" Naruto asked his girlfriend.
"Yes you were spacing out. We're here at the mist village." She said with a small smile.
Sure enough Naruto looked up and saw they had arrived. He looked around the vast body of water surrounding the village to feel the presence of anything that wasn't chakra related.
He decided that it was time to go for a swim. He took out a seal with the kanji for 'air' on it and placed it on himself as well as Hinata. Basically what the seal did was take the air from the water and covert it into breathable air for the user.
"Lets go for a swim Hina-hime." Naruto said as he grabbed her hand and they both jumped in.
Since they virtually had an unlimited air supply they had time to look at all the marine life. It was beautiful looking at it from all the sea creatures perspective. You could see coral reefs of all colors decorating the rocks. The sunlight hitting underwater from the surface giving it a sparkle all in all it was a perfect picture.
Narutos hand started to glow as he realized his mark was reacting to the temple nearby. He pulled Hinata with him as he felt his mark vibrate more and more the closer he got to it.
About 10 minutes of hunting he found what seemed to be the place. It was a cave of sorts so he swam down to the entrance. Naruto and Hinata had swam through the dark cave and came up to an air pocket where the real entrance was.
After they got out of the water they looked around in shock. There was a giant square pillar in the middle of the room with all sorts of doors on each side. He didn't worry about all that seeing as his mother told him that all he would need to do was confront the creatures living in the temples of Fire, Water, Forest and Shadow.
He looked at two huge creature like pillars across from the big pillar in the middle of the room. That was his destination. He grabbed Hinata getting a suprised squeak and jumped onto the platform.
He set his girlfriend down and motioned for her to follow him. As they walked through the door they were suprised yet again. There was a slanted waterfall with moving vertical platforms on it leading down to a pit of infinite darkness.
Seeing as all they had to do was jump across it was no big deal, but seriously how do they put this crap in the temple? It was more advanced them some of the stuff back in Konoha.
They made it to boss door which was big and fit it's description of the final door. As soon as he and Hinata approached the door it lifted up giving them access to the final room.
They walked through and the door slammed down behind them enough to suprise them. They turned their attention away from the door and into the water. It looked more blue then regular water; almost as if it was alive..
Without warning some shot out of the water and grabbed Hinata and threw her across the room knocking her unconscious.
"HINATA!!" Naruto cried out to his girlfriend seeing her hurt and unconscious. He not reply so he decided to face this creature on his own.
Naruto looked at the creature in question. It was a serpant like shape of water with a nucleus moving up and down inside of it.
"Child of the Sheiks, What brings you to intrude in my temple." The creature stated in a gurgilly deep voice.
"Great spirit of the water temple i mean no disrespect i just came to claim the medallion that lays within this temple." Naruto said trying to appease the water spirit.
"So polite, i guess i can grant you a boon. Only after you defeat me in combat will you find your way to the room of the sages and be gifted with the medallion like many others before you. My name is Morpha let us BEGIN!" The now named Morpha said as he morphed back into the water.
Naruto was now on his guard. This wasn't a ninja with a solid mass that could be hit with anything he had. This was Morpha the water temple spirit so he had to play this safe.
Morpha jumped out of the water and attempted to grab Naruto only for Naruto to dodge quickly thanks to his reflexes. He pulled out a kunai and some ninja wire to create a make-shift rope dart to grab the nucleus.
After he was done he swung it a few times to check its durability and then launched it at the nucleus. It peirced the fleshy mass and he took this opportunity to slash it with his Tanto a few times until Morpho moved back into the water.
Naruto watched for any movements and jumped out of the way before Morpho tried to grab him again. He pulled his rope dart out and grabbed the nucleus again and slashed it making Morpho retreat back into the water.
He could feel Morpho weakening. Just a few more hits and this would be over. He was caught up in his thoughts he didn't see Morpho rise out of the water and grab him until it was too late. He was 'eaten' then spit back out into the spikes surrounding the area. Luckily for him it only caused a flesh wound instead of something more severe.
After he shook off the pain in his back he looked for Morpho again. He saw his chance and launched his rope dart at the nucleus making it come out into the open for a final round of slashes from his tanto.
Morpho screeched in pain before he disolved back into water making it return to its original color. He saw a blue portal like pad in the center of the water and picked up Hinata and went inside of it.
He was suddenly seeing stars dance across his vision and blacked out unaware of all that was going on.
Few Minutes Later
Naruto awoke to a room that was dark with blue crystal like surroundings and he was on a pad. He looked down and immediately saw the mark that was on his hand except this one had all the triangles glowing gold instead of just one. He also saw bigger versions of the medallions he was suppose to be obtaining. He looked around for the water medallion and saw a pair of feet standing on it.
He followed the feet up and saw a beautiful fish like woman with long fins on her arms and legs. A sizable bust and beautiful face that looked more human then aquatic.
"My name is Ruto. I am the sage of the water temple. Congratulations on beating Morpha, now i shall bestow upon you my power along with the water medallion" Ruto saud as she raised her hands up to the top of black sky and the medallion fell and floated above Narutos head as he grabbed it.
"Now that you have the Spirit and Water Medallion you can fuse the two with your tanto and use their power to change the size and shape of the weapon. Be warned the one called 'Madara' is waiting for you after you visit all the temples. Also the ones that were once close to you shall betray you" She said the last part cryptically as she vanished from the plane.
Naruto also disappeared from the room in a flash of white light.
Real World
Naruto was transported with Hinata on top of the water temple above the ocean. He was trying to piece together what Ruto had said to him.
"The ones who were once close to you, shall betray you." The words kept repeating over and over in his head, but still didn't make any sense. He knew it wasn't Hinata, Kurenai or Tsunade or Jiraiya for sure. He would have to think about it as he headed back to his 'home'.
As he left the same red headed woman looked proudly at him as she vanished as if she wasn't even there. She said something that carried on in the wind.
"Shadows of the past, will always follow you my sochi." She said as her voice died out in the wind.
