-Chapter 7-

-Goron City-

It had been three days since the debacle at Dodongo's Cavern and Naruto and Saria were finally fully recovered from their injuries. Saria had freaked out when she had first woken up in her sleeping bag at Goron City, only calming down slightly when she saw Naruto's unconscious and bandaged up form next to hers with Navi and Elia hovering tiredly over him as they healed what they could.

Over half of the bones in Naruto's body had either fractured if not outright broken under the strain of holding so much weight while just as many muscles were torn or pulled. It had taken most of the night and most their strength for Navi and Elia just to get him stabilized, and even that was only possible due to small amounts of that strange energy he was now releasing helping them along.

Saria herself thankfully hadn't been nearly as bad, being just a bit banged up and bruised. Her only major injury had been a nasty cut to the back of her head. It wasn't too hard to patch up, but due to their exhausted states, the fairies were unable to prevent a sizable scar from forming there.

While they rested, the gorons celebrated the reopening of Dodongo's Cavern, feasting to their heats content. Several stopped by to thank the two of them for all they had done, some even bringing gifts such as gems, rock sirloin that they discretely gave to Darunia, a heavy metal shield (Hylian shield) and even a newly made and full bomb bag (Saria quickly having Naruto hold onto it once she learned it was made from the remains of the King Dodongo's stomach).

On the second day, Naruto had tried to draw on that power from before with a little success. If he focused hard enough, he could cause a small blue glow to emanate from his body and feel a brief rush of energy before it tapered off and he felt even more tired. Of course, Saria and Navi had scolded him for several minutes when they caught him doing this as he was supposed to be resting, Elia had been too busy sleeping in his hair at the time to care.

Now fully recovered and rested, they stood outside Goron City as they said their goodbyes. "Thank you so much for all you have done for our people, brother Naruto, sister Saria. As promised, the Goron Ruby is yours." Darunia said as he handed them a large red gem with gold stylized like fire covering the bottom and sides. "If you need any further help, there is a mystical fountain just a little further up the mountain where it is rumored a benevolent spirit lives. Just be careful not to go through the tunnel to Death Mountain's crater." He said while pointing to a small trail they hadn't noticed before.

"Until we meet again you two!" He said cheerily clapping them on the back before heading back inside, not noticing that he had knocked both face first into the dirt. Standing back up and dusting themselves off, Saria turned to Naruto, Navi, and Elia and asked, "Do you think that fountains worth checking out?"

"Possibly, Lady Eldin is said to live in this general area, so it could be her." Navi said with Elia nodding in agreement. "Alright then, let's go." Naruto said while leading the way. The walk itself was mostly uneventful other than the occasional tektite bothering them, but there was plenty of tension in the air.

The memories of their conditions three days ago left a lasting impression as Naruto and Saria acted much more cautiously while traversing in the new terrain. The newfound wariness leaving them slightly nervous and easily started. When they reached the end of the path, they saw two large tunnels before them and a familiar face. One gave off a soft orange glow and exuded extreme amount of heat while the other was pitch black.

Taking the dark tunnel, the moment they passed the entrance all light behind them vanished causing them to whirl around and find the entrance to the tunnel was gone. Steeling their nerves, the two children and their fairies carefully moved forward. Even with Navi and Elia lighting the way, only a small amount of the floor was visible until the area ahead of them suddenly lit up.

"Whoa…" They all four said as they took in the new room. Crimson flames burnt brightly in their braziers while the walls themselves looked to be composed of red stars that constantly rained down. A fountain made of pure white marble sat at the vary back of the room with a short flight of steps leading up to it.

As soon as their feet reached the platform at the top of the step, a golden glow started emanating from it revealing the symbol of the Tri-Force. When nothing happened after that however, Naruto and Saria looked around confused. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Naruto called out, only getting an echo in response. "… … … … Whelp this was a waste of time." Naruto grumbled as he started back towards where they came.

"Hang on," Saria said, stopping Naruto in his tracks to see her and the fairies staring at the Tri-Force symbol. "I have an idea." Pulling out her ocarina, she quickly played the song of the royal family.

(Play Zelda's Lullaby)

"Hahahahahaha!" Loud, feminine laughter rang out as soon as the last note rang out. The water glowed brightly before exploding out into the air forcing Naruto and Saria to shield their faces while the fairies hid behind them. Once the splash died down, they peered out to see what happened only for their jaws to drop.

Before them stood… er, floated a woman with long red hair, violet eyes, and garbed in various vines and leaves to keep her modestly. She was easily fourteen or fifteen feet tall, floating in a casual sitting pose while smirking down at the youths and their fairies. Seeing their awestruck looks, she laughed again before spinning into a laying position, getting right up to their faces.

"Well aren't you two just adorable little things." She cooed while patting their heads and snapping them out of their stupors. Blushing in embarrassment, Naruto swatted her hand away while yelling out. "Who are you calling adorable! I'm not cute, I am awesome!" However, all this di was cause her to laugh more making him pout. Navi and Elia flew out during all this and bowed deeply. "Lady Eldin, it is a pleasure to see you again." Both stated. "Elia! Navi! Oh, it's been to long!" Waving her hand, a glowing dust was released upon the two causing them to grow rapidly to about the size of Naruto and Saria, much to those twos' shock, before quickly being smothered in a hug.

"Oh, it's been so long since I've seen any of you. Oh, how have you been! Has Dia asked about me? And how's little Sittr been doing, does he still wet the bed?" She continued to fire off questions a mile a minute, completely oblivious to the fact neither of the fairies could respond do to being smothered by her bust.

"Um, hello," Saria came to their rescue as she called out shyly, getting Eldin to return her attention to the duo still standing there. Coughing awkwardly, the Great Fairy released her two hug victims and shrunk them back to regular size. "Sorry, got a bit carried away there." She apologized sheepishly before her regular teasing look returned. "Hello there, I am Eldin, the Great Fairy of Power. What can I do for you today?"

"Well, Darunia said you could help us out on our adventure, Eldin-chan." Naruto said. Eldin blinked in surprise at the add on to her name, before leaning in close to the boy. "Uuuh, hi?" Naruto said nervously as the large woman stared at him closely, her eyes lightly glowing red. After several moments of silence, she blinked before an, if possible, even wider smile crossed her face as she floated back into her sitting pose.

"Ah yes, my dear sister Faron said that you might pass by. She even asked me to give you something when you did." Holding out her hand, more glowing dust fell, but instead of making him grow bigger or shrink it condensed in front of him and turned into a small scroll.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Naruto grabbed the floating object and unrolled a part of it. One half of the paper was written in odd symbols that Naruto vaguely remembered and the other was written in neat, tidy Hylian. "The basics of chakra control, translated by Lanayru." He read aloud. The word chakra bounced around his head a bit as he remembered hearing about it from the Hokage, though he hadn't been really paying attention at the time. "That should help you quite a bit from what my sister has told me." Eldin said with a smile, before turning towards Saria.

"Hmmm, to be honest though, I was not expecting you to be here as well. But, I have always loved surprises." Clapping her hands excitedly, the woman suddenly split into several, smaller versions of herself. The Great Fairy(S?) floated around Saria, eyeing her over, and muttering to herself before reforming back to a single being. "What is your preferred weapon?"

Saria reached into her pouch and pulled out the slingshot for Eldin to see. "A long rang fighter eh, well then," Leaning down, Eldin placed her hand on Saria head, causing a soft red glow to wash over her. "With this blessing, you shall have the power to focus your strength into your weapon. Doing so shall increase its power three-fold, but be cautious as it will cause you fatigue." Backing away, she watched amusedly as Naruto checked over his friend when she stumbled after the sudden rush of energy.

"I have done all that I am allowed for you, good luck on your journey." She said while her body started fading away into sparkles. "Also, be sure to stop by my sister Lanayru's fountain if you're ever near Zora's Domain as she could use a few visitors herself." And with one final wave and a wink she was gone.

"Well she was nice." Naruto said with a grin as he scratched the back of his head getting Saria to nod in agreement. "Let's go Naruto, we still have to get back down the mountain." She said, pulling on his arm. Seeing no other way to go, the quartet retraced their steps back down the tunnel. After several more minutes in total darkness, a sudden light blinded the group. By the time theirs eyes adjusted however, Naruto and Saria were given yet another surprise when they found themselves standing at the outskirts of Kakariko Village.

Turning around, all they found was a plain stone cliff and nothing else. "How did we… you know what, I don't want to know." Naruto said as his head hurt trying to figure it out. Stopping by Anju's to tell her they were back and pay her back for housing them, the young woman had been clearly relieved to see them okay. Reluctantly accepting the rupees they gave her, she gave some last minute help by showing them to a store where they purchased supplies such as food and medicinal poultices, they even managed to get a small tent. Once they got everything necessary, Anju wished them a safe journey and they set off.

With their traveling cloaks back on, Saria took the lead with Navi as neither Elia or Naruto could understand the map very well. "So, we should take this road here westwards and then head straight for Lake Hylia?" Saria asked as she trailed her finger along the paths on the map. "Nah, I say we take this path here and cut through this ranch here instead, would shave a day or so off the travel time." Navi said while pointing to a symbol on the mark that indicated where the ranch was. "True, but that's only if the owner lets us through. If not it'd be a big waste of time." "Or it could save us from having to walk all the way around Lake Hylia just to get to Rivers Pass."

With a route agreed on, they started walking southwest. At first the path was flat and straight, but as time went along it started to twist, turn, rise, and fall as the area became hilly. Starting small. They progressively got larger and larger until finally Saria and Naruto were perched atop the largest hill yet, on the ground panting from exhaustion. "Stupid map, it couldn't have warned us that there were so many freaking hills?" Naruto grumbled as he wiped some sweat from his brow.

"Well, at least the views nice," Navi said gesturing to the sun setting in the distance bathing the landscape in a golden glow. "Though it'd be best if you two set up camp soon." Her response was two loud groans as the youths got up and did their respective tasks. Soon a small fire was burning brightly as a small brown tent was set up nearby. The group was sat around the fire, their dinner consisting of bread, fruit, and dried meats.

Naruto was currently going through the scroll the great Fairy had given him, Navi helping him with words her couldn't understand. Meanwhile, Saia was experimenting with the power she had been given by shooting rocks at a nearby log. Both her and Naruto's eyes had practically fallen out of their skulls when they saw the once mostly harmless shots leave fist sized craters in the wood. Though as Eldin had warned, after seven or eight shots, Saria had to pause for a few minutes to rest as she had suddenly felt drained.

Naruto was excited as he read about being able to run along walls and such but to his disappointment, Navi firmly insisted he start from the beginning which was getting a leaf to stick to his forehead. Grumbling at the unfairness of it, he none the less did said exercise for about an hour or so before they all called it a night. Naruto and Saria crawled into their bags and snuggled together while Navi and Elia settled into mini hammocks that hung from the roof of the tent.

-The next morning-

Waking up at the crack of dawn, the group were quick to break camp and move out. Not wanting to walk all the way down the hill, Naruto suddenly had an idea with a mischievous grin. Grabbing the two fairies and placing them atop his head, he plopped his shield onto the ground and grabbed Saria into his arms. "Uh, Naruto? What are you doiiIIIIIIINNG!?"

The last part came out a scream as he hopped onto his shield and pushed it down the ledge. Screaming at the top of their lungs, Saria, Navi, and Elia clung to Naruto for dear life as they sledded down the hill at high speeds. Naruto grinned wildly as he swerved around, narrowly avoiding large rocks and the occasional tree in their path.

After a minute or so, the ground began leveling out and the shield slid to a stop. Hopping off, Naruto placed Saria onto her own feet and picked up his now scraped up shield. "That was awesome wasn't it Saria?" He asked, not getting an answer. Turning around, he froze seeing the angry expression on her and the fairies, who now floated next to her, sent him as they as they slowly stocked forward.

"Awesome… yeah… how about I show you just how awesome I thought that was."

It was at that moment, Naruto knew… he f# ked up.

-Chapter end-

AN: As promised, Naruto now has a way to learn how to use his chakra. Also, I will be changing the other great fairy fountain locations and only having three of them, Eldin's fountain at death mountain, Faron's fountain will be somewhere in the kokiri forest, and Lanayru's will be in Zora's domain. Fun fact: The names Faron, Eldin, and Lanayru are based upon the three goddess, Faron being a shortened Farore, Din in Eldin, Nayru in Lanayru. As for why Eldin didn't immediately know who Naruto was, as she stated she was expecting him to come alone and not with a companion thus Saria's presence threw her off a bit. I hope you like the ability I had her give Saria as it seemed the best fitting for her at this time. Thank you for reading and please review.

Omake: Easy Money?

-Hyrule Castle-

"Wow! Twenty rupees!" Naruto called excitedly as he picked up the red gem off the ground and slipped it into his wallet. "Hey, here's another one." Saria said as she picked up a similar gem across the room. Wandering around the castle more, they found several more red, blue and even a purple rupee."I get that their rich and all, but why would the royal family just leave money laying on the ground?" She asked as the other three just shrugged.

-Later that day, tavern-

"Hey Phil, what's got you in such a good mood today?" The barkeep asked as a guard settled himself onto a stool with a big smile on his face. "Well George, I just got a huge bonus this week and I feel like celebrating, get me a glass of your best whiskey." Nodding, George the barkeep did so and handed to the man who drained it in on gulp.

"Ah, that's the stuff," Phil sighed as he reached for his wallet. Pulling it out, he froze as his eyes locked onto the bag, more specifically the large hole in the bottom of it revealing it's emptiness. Looking from his empty wallet to the barkeep glaring at him expectantly, Phil did the only thing he could think of.

-Hyrule Field-

"Hey, do you hear something?" Naruto asked pausing as they walked away from Castle Town. The others stopped to listen only to shake their heads negatively. "Weird,I could of swore I heard something, almost like someone crying out in misery. Eh, must have been my imagination." Naruto said with a shrug as they kept walking.
