A request to me by Phoenix Warehouse Productions, he proposed me to create a Naruto/Zelda Twilight Princess Crossover following his story "Letter to a Hero" using it as a base to create a fanfic using the directions he gave with it, I hope he and you all will like the result ^ ^.

I openly used "Letter to a Hero" here, integrating the whole thing with the story, I have his permission to do this so don't bother telling me I copied it, both Phoenix Warehouse Productions and me are okay with this, thank you.

Please remember: I have Three challenges in my profile myself, please tell me if you take one or more of them, thank you.

Short chapters, won't listen to Canon haters, I will follow the events of the game but with differences, sometime big ones and sometime little ones, depending from what I want to happen.

" You bastard" - demon talking / jutsu

"Let's finish this" - dialogue

" Can it get any worse? " - during flashback/ Thoughts

(Naruto/ Twilight Princess Crossover) Pairing Naru/Midna/Ilia/Yodogimi (Fem Kyuubi) probably OC Goron girl and OC Zora girl too, depending on how things evolve.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or anything else I will use nor I make a profit out of this, I am writing just for the pleasure of doing it.

Prologue Chapter: New world, new life, new future.

Konoha – Hokage Tower – Tsunade's office -

Time clicked.

Minutes passed.

Hours flew away.

Silence reigned supreme in the office, no-one of the people present dared to talk.

Jiraiya the Toad Sage was silently glaring in hate at his old Teammate as Time kept passing in wait, his fight against Pein resulting in the losing of his left arm he had henged into a copy of himself to cover his escape and had then subsequently substituted with a wooden prosthetic.

No longer he respected her, no longer he looked at her with Love, camaraderie or even friendship, it was now just cold detached business between the two.

He had even stopped acting like a pervert when around her, he was now just a Spy Master working for the Hokage, nothing more and nothing less, and that alone was tearing the woman inside.

The members of what was once "Team 7" were also there, the phantom of guilt still looming over them now, as it was ten years before, and more now than ever, the choking feeling they had always managed to force in the back of their minds was returning with a vengeance by demolishing any justification they tried to come up with to ease their pain.

The pink haired girl named Sakura more than the others was the portrait of depression, she had acted professional up until five years before, believing inside her that once He returned everything would have been back to normal, that he would have forgiven her again, just like he did every other time in the past, no matter what she did or said.

But that was five years ago, now she feared he won't forgive or even talk to her anymore.

The raven-haired boy Sasuke stood near her in silence, waiting for his friend to return, for the Dobe, HIS Dobe, to be back and once again be cause of headaches and groans with his damned smile and always positive attitude.

He was steadfastly suppressing the realization that he too just like the others managed to have even Him to stop smiling and know Hate after the last Betrayal they had put on him, no-one of their age group had enough courage to be around that day just in case he really decided to come back.

He himself had to drag his own body outside of his house to reach the blond woman's office, no-one else of the once proud "Konoha 12" group had left their houses or Clan Compounds in shame for what they did, preferring isolation in the hope of slowly rebuild their friendship with the missing member of Team 7.

The Oldest member of the trio, who was at the time the Team sensei, was looking at the office door barely blinking as he waited, he had chosen to go on with his life as if nothing happened, closing the pain of his mistake behind the locked doors of his sub-conscious like with any other painful memory of his past.

But no matter how much he lied to himself, everyone in Konoha could see him spend hours at the Memorial Stone talking with his old Sensei and begging him to forgive him for his last foolishness, demonstrating that even by hiding it, he too was depressed at his student's absence.

He tried to hunt the boy down as to say "screw the orders!" and bring him back himself in secret before they discovered his plan and stopped him.

He wanted to see the blond forgive him, to have the son of his sensei once again call him "Kakashi-sensei!" once again with his bright smile and eager to learn some cool jutsu so to become Hokage one day.

Now he stood there, every second hoping to see him tear down the door in his haste to enter and greet everyone with his undying energy, to bring back normalcy and take the guilt away, and yet, he still wasn't here, he still had to return.

The Village Leader instead was sitting there with her back straight-up and rigid.

She was Tsunade Senju, The Godaime Hokage, and was waiting

What she was waiting on was a letter, more specifically a letter from her godson, the one she had been forced to banish just to keep people calm, who is this boy you ask?

He was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Jinchuuriki of the almighty Kyuubi, that he personally called "Yodogimi", Hero of the Fourth Shinobi War, and Son of both the Yellow Flash and the Bloody Habanero.

The reason she was waiting for a letter was that due to a request from the various villages and their respective Kages and Daimyos, her godson had been banished from Konoha for no less than five years in order to "Test" if he was really a menace for everyone.

His banishment had been over five years ago, however none of his friends or allies have heard or seen of and from him in over nine years.

Now the entire village wanted him back once they had been told of his heritage, and demanded his return, thing that was making Tsunade feel sick in the stomach at the sheer audacity of the thing.

His teammates Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke were among those that chased after every last rumor in hope to find him and bring him back, by force if necessary.

Finally after having looked everywhere for nearly five years they had fund him in a tiny country called Hyrule.

Both councilors and Jounin senseis wanted to send the remaining members of the 'Rookie Twelve' group after him in hope of convincing him, however the blond Hokage argued that they would have been seen as a threat and he would have either run away or even tried to kill them.

So a compromise was struck and a letter had been sent to the last known position of the blond.

The letter, that Jiraiya still argued being 'too impersonal', was as follows:

To Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze,

As per your orders on the missive dated October 10, **** you were required to return to the village once your banishment was deemed expired. Your heritage has been announced to the population and as such you are to return at once to claim your inheritance and be placed in the newly instituted "Clan Restoration Act" to renew both the Uzumaki and the Namikaze Clan here in Konoha. Failure to do so within seven months of receiving this notice will have you placed within the Bingo Book with a 'Capture on Sight' order. You are also hereby declared an active member of the Konoha Shinobi Corps. once more.

Enclosed in this letter is your old Hitai-ate, wear it with pride once again and return to us.

Sincerely,

Tsunade Senju, Godaime Hokage of Konoha.

As Tsunade was thinking about all this the messenger she had sent to deliver the letter had returned with a grim expression on his face.

"Where is he?" Sasuke demanded, glaring at the mail-nin as if he himself was hiding the blond.

Without answering he simply handed to Tsunade an envelope and left, shaking his head in sadness.

Inside the envelope there was a note with a sealing array and a picture.

Tsunade looked at the picture first and was shocked, there in the photo was Naruto with three beautiful pregnant women, surrounded by three little girls all with Naruto's eyes and whisker marks.

She then looked on the back and saw that a name was on the back of each of both women and daughters.

They were Naruto, Ilia, Midna, Yodogimi (That was a woman with fiery-red hair and fox ears) and their daughters Malon, Hilda and Kasumi. Each of the girls had also their mothers' hair and face.

Shakily, She then opened the note and went wide-eyed, with a shriek she dropped the letter as if burning.

"Read aloud, what does he say?" Jiraiya asked with narrowed eyes.

With a barely restrained whimper she started reading.

To Tsunade Senju, Godaime Hokage of Konoha.

As you can see I have all I need right here, I will not leave the life and home I have here to return to the very place that I was cast out from nor to those cowards and back-stabbers that defined themselves my 'friends'. Even from a mile away I could hear the village celebrating the fact that I was banished, or as you eloquently put it "Momentarily sent away to train", showing that no matter what I do for you all, a lot of you STILL hold a grudge against me.

I wandered long and hard before I found myself in my new home and I will NOT leave everything behind just for a house and some money, if you people would have ever gave me all that had I returned that is. I know how me and my family will be treated should I return and I will NOT subject my daughters to that falsity and lies or to your plans about using whatever 'Power' you think I have.

Place a bounty on my head if you so wish, I don't care, but be prepared to go to WAR with ALL of Hyrule if you do, here people knows what I did for them and their Princess, and no-one of them will take kindly should you try something.

Do not contact me ever again.

Sincerely,

Naruto Link, Farm hand and Swordsmen of Ordon Village, Brother of the Gorons, Friend of the Zora and Knight of Hyrule.

P.S. Enclosed is a photo of myself, my wives and our daughters, look at their faces and tell me why I should even just consider abandoning them for you people.

P.P.S. Behind the letter there a seal, inside you will find the Forehead Protector you had sent, for I shall never again wear one, leave me alone, old hag, I won't repeat myself.

Tsunade then broke down and cried, uncaring of who was there watching.

"Damn it! Damn it all!" Sasuke screamed, leaving the office and slamming the door as hard as he could.

"It's my fault...It's my fault," Sakura muttered between sobs, sitting on the floor crying.

"I-I'll be outside if you need me," Kakashi said with a dead voice, leaving the room without looking at the others.

"That's it! I am going to hunt the boy down myself once again, I failed the first time, but this time I will take him here!" Jiraiya roared as he walked towards the window.

"And then what?" Tsunade asked.

"...I don't know, but I need to talk to him again, even just for the last time," the Toad Sage answered, jumping down.

"I am sorry...please forgive me..." the woman muttered, remembering the boy's rage when he had been told of the exile.

Ten Years Ago – Near Wave Village -

Team 7 was moving towards the small village in complete silence, neither Sakura nor Sasuke had the strength to look towards their Teammate while they were tree-jumping.

Their sensei Kakashi was trying to act professional, but the sighs he was letting out from time to time betrayed his nervousness.

"What's wrong? Too scared to talk?" Naruto asked bitterly, the sneer on his face never faltering since their leaving Konoha.

"Listen, we already went through this, Hokage-sama had no other choice, the other villages, their Kages and even their Daimyos were pushing for this," Kakashi answered grabbing his shoulder.

The boy simply growled and shoved the hand away.

"No other choice, YOU wanted to fight the war, YOU wanted me to absorb that damned fruit once the Juubi turned into a tree because I was the only one that still had a Biju seal on his body since Bee was on the brink of death and NOW you are all betraying me because I obeyed your orders, you had a lot of choices!" the blond bellowed.

"Like what!?" Sasuke demanded, glaring at him.

TWAK! To their surprise Naruto simply spun around and punched him on the nose, launching him down to the forest floor.

"You are the last one that should talk, you and that pink haired bitch of your teammate, I devoted my whole life to bring your sorry ass back, getting almost killed by you every time we met, and after all this you take and betray me, AGAIN!" the blond answered with a raged scream.

"Naru..." Sakura tried saying before freezing at the pure hate in his glare.

"Don't. Talk! I might have not said a thing, but you used me, again and again! I never forgot that fucking 'I love you' you used to try and stop me from saving your One true Love's pathetic life! Have you any idea how much I desired to hear those words from you? And you just used them to obtain what you wanted! I should have known that I could not trust you," he answered, moving again towards Wave without looking at her.

"That's enough, Naruto, you said enough," Kakashi said with a calm tone.

"Shove it, Hatake! just take me to that island and then take those two pieces of trash out of my sight," Naruto answered.

"Naruto..." the man said with a sigh.

"Five years, I'll be forced to spend five years in that island where I learned to control Yodogimi until you all will be sure that I can control the new power and that I am still loyal to Konoha, just because I have the equivalent of the Nine Biju inside me and you lot feared that I would have attacked the other villages using the now Ten-tailed fox against all of you. You can't pretend to see me smile at this bullshit, even my so called "endless forgiveness" has its limits, I almost died to take down Madara and whatever that thing calling itself a 'princess' was just to stop you all from dying like animals, and you repay me with THIS!" the blond said with a snarl.

"We will pay you visit! The others too!" Sakura tried saying with a trembling voice, still incredulous that the smiling goof-ball she had knew since forever and more than once had tried to win her heart was now so openly hating her.

"Don't say things you yourself don't believe! no-one, NO-ONE of you even tried to say something against that order, apparently since Tsunade had her hands 'tied' by the other villages' insistence was the perfect excuse for you all to turn your back on me! Even my so called 'lover' Hinata had not the backbone to at least say something against her Clan! If we talk about a mad-man with Rinnegan eyes all is fine, but if she has to go against her bigoted clan then she is a coward! Just leave me alone and stop bothering me, we are no longer friends so don't bother to sugar-coat what you all did," the blond said.

"I am sorry," she said with a whimper.

"I don't care," he answered.

The rest of the trip was silent after that, no-one wanted to talk and re-start the discussion about the blond's banishment.

"ALT! We will take care of him from now on," an ANBU of Kumo said appearing in front of them with other two, a three-man squad of ANBU from Iwa, Mist, Grass, Taki and Suna also appearing around Team 7, surrounding the Konoha Group.

"What's the meaning of this!?" Kakashi said in rage.

"I am sorry, Kakashi-sempai, we have orders to escort Naruto to the island," Yamato answered looking down, other two ANBU of Konoha joining him.

"Why? We are his Team! WE will be the ones to escort him, it's our right to stay with him," Sasuke demanded.

"You are 'too close' to him, we will be the ones accompanying Naruto-san so to stop any escape attempt," an ANBU of Iwa answered.

"I knew it! I knew it was strange that you three proposed to accompany me, the Sharingan would have been able to keep me down while knowing I would follow my 'friends' without resistance, and now the Wood Element and a dozen of ANBU will take your place since I am far away enough from the Village," Naruto said with a sneer.

"NO! I was not aware of this, I swear!" Kakashi said with wide eyes.

"I don't believe you, Hatake," the blond answered as chakra-suppressing hand-cuffs were closed around his hands.

"Sorry, I do this just to be sure you won't try anything," The ANBU of Suna said with a sad voice.

"Stuff it, Kankorou," Naruto answered, making the masked nin flinch.

"Gaara was against this...Temari too, but we have our hands..." Kankorou tried saying.

"You have your hands tied, I know, I KNOW!" the other answered angrily.

"I am sorry," Kankorou answered with a sigh.

"Before we go...a last thing for the traitors," Naruto said turning to his FORMER Team.

"Y-Yes?" Sakura said with a worried voice.

"Tell to Tenten, Ino, Hinata, Hana, Temari, Ayame, Anko, Kurenai, Yugao and Shizune that soon I'll have everyone know our little secret," the blond said with a vindictive smile.

"WHAT!?" Sakura yelled in horror.

"W-What secret?" Sasuke asked, a shiver running up his spine.

"NO! Please! Don't tell him!" Sakura begged, trembling.

"Why should I keep my promise? You all betrayed me, I am just paying you back," Naruto answered.

"P-Please...please I beg you..." the girl begged kneeling down, surprising everyone else.

"Nah! You know what happened after the fight against Madara and the Juubi, Hatake? Once we reached peace, and before you all decided to stab me in the back, Hinata and I decided to try and see if a relationship could work between us, it was easy mind you, she practically worships me so it was hard for me to do something wrong in her eyes...everything changed the day after we first slept together..." Naruto said with a sick smile.

"Please...P-P-Please, no..." Sakura begged, crying as she saw his gleeful smile directed at her.

"Apparently Ino had developed a new Jutsu able to scan people's memory without the victim taking notice, she saw Hinata with such an happy smile that she couldn't resist and her gossip-oriented mind demanded her to know...so she used that technique on the Hyuuga heiress," the boy said, drawing on the torture of his revelation.

"What happened then?" Kakashi asked, intrigued by Sakura's despair-filled expression.

"Ino discovered how 'Good' I am in everything I do, sex comprised, it didn't took long before the girls I mentioned came to know that as well...well, apparently their boyfriends, their 'Prince Charming' were not as good in bed as they were out of it, even Choji and his expansion jutsu was apparently unable to satisfy Ino, dimensions are useless if there is no talent behind it," Naruto answered.

"NOOO!" Sakura yelled, hiding her face in her hands as she cried.

"Sa...Sakura too?" Sasuke asked, gulping down the bile, watching her with a betrayed expression.

"No...please don't..." the girl begged with a low whisper.

"Don't worry your silly head, Uchiha, I did not fuck her as I did with the others, at the time I still had some sort of respect for you...but I did eat her out once, it will be my most treasured memory the fact that she openly admitted that I was able to give her more pleasure with my tongue than you with your penis...you were right, Revenge is the most sweet thing," the blond answered.

"Is that...true?" Sasuke asked with a trembling voice, watching Sakura nod before breaking down in a desperate crying.

"Did she...did she proposed to have sex too?" the Uchiha boy asked.

"Naah! She loves you, we did that 69 thing only once, after that she felt awful so we pretended it never happened, but that one time was more than enough for me," the other answered.

"And Hinata?" Kakashi asked.

"Too much spineless, she almost went into shock because we had sex before a marriage, the others just black-mailed me and her into this with the notion of them telling Hiashi everything and me with the threat of accusing me of rape, I had my way with Temari and Tenten just because I did have feelings for them, the others? I was just their plaything, a way to stick it to their current boyfriends because they cheated on them or were not as willing as they wanted them," the blond answered.

"Temari? But...she has Shikamaru!" Kankorou said shocked.

"Really? I didn't know that, I swear!" the blond answered with wide eyes.

"Yeah, we kinda were waiting to use it as an excuse to strengthen Suna and Konoha's relationship...how many times she 'asked' you to do that?" the other answered, his wide eyes hidden by the mask.

"Every day, if that lazy bastard doesn't start being more active he will lose her, I did have some feelings for your sister, that's why I held the secret, I really hoped that we could have had some sort of relationship," Naruto confessed, passing an hand through his hair with a tired sigh.

"I am sorry...at the time I didn't know about that, I was told she was not in a relationship, tell her I won't say a thing about her, but also tell her that she disgust me, instead of admitting she already has someone she prefers to stay with him and betray him whenever he is not present, tell her that I am ashamed of her, sorry" he then said with a pained expression.

"So she didn't tell you about Shika, the scandal may be a bad blow on her image, but she'll have only herself to blame, I'll try to explain this to Gaara," Kankorou answered with a sad sigh.

"Thanks,"

"Let's go, we're late," an ANBU of Kumo said grabbing Naruto's arm to drag him gently.

"Okay, I don't see why I should run away, I am surrounded by cowards and traitors after all, this will be my occasion to leave them behind for few years," Naruto said, head dropped down as he started walking.

"WAIT! I wasn't told! I will come visit! I promise!" Kakashi yelled with wide eyes.

"I am sorry, but it was decided that other than the several ANBU squads from every village no-one will be able to visit him for security reasons," an ANBU from Mist said, shaking her head.

"Why I am not surprised..." the blond muttered as he walked away.

"WAIT! He is still my student! I have every right to see him!" Kakashi said in anger.

"You never were my sensei back there, Hatake...what should be different now?" Naruto answered without looking back, he and his escort disappearing behind the trees.

"I am sorry, Kakashi-sempai, I can't do a thing, I am sorry." Yamato said with a sigh, he then moved to join the rest of the ANBU leaving Team 7 behind.

"Let's go home, I need to speak with Tsunade-sama," Kakashi said with a cold voice.

"Sasuke! I am..." Sakura tried saying.

"Shut up! Just, shut up! I am only happy that you stopped at that, but if we had a problem you should have told me, not run away and ask someone else, at least he never hold it over my head and never pressed for more, I don't give a damn about the others, those bitches cheated on the others with a smile on their faces, at least I can see some regret in your face," the boy answered.

"T-Thank you," she said with a weak smile.

"This doesn't mean I forgive you, I would like to say that I will never forgive Naruto either, but seeing what he was condemned to I can't find any strength in me to hate him, I would have probably done the same, at least my staying imprisoned would have been easier knowing how much I had ruined my betrayers' lives, it may take a while for me to forgive you though," the Uchiha boy answered.

"It's all my fault..." Kakashi said, shaking his head with a sigh.

"We are all at fault, sensei." Sasuke said, falling silent for the rest of the trip back in Konoha.

Route towards the island – boat -

"Naruto, I am sorry," Yamato said, nearing the silent boy.

"Save it, I don't care," he answered.

"After the war and what happened with the Juubi everyone was in apprehension, the only other biju around is Killer Bee and you still have 'part' of the Eight-Tailed Beast inside you as well as the Kyuubi and the other Bijus, Tsunade-sama tried to stall the thing as much as she could, but in the end she had to relent and accept this solution...the alternative was putting you in a seal-empowered coma and closing you somewhere, hoping that the surplus of chakra would have kept you alive but forever 'asleep'," Yamato said with a sad tone.

"She is a Ten-Tailed Fox now, you were afraid because you could see that after years of abuse I could now have revenge for every Jinchuuriki that you all used as you saw fit, especially Konoha, you feared that now I would have been able to lash out and make you pay the price of your actions," the blond said with a sneer

"NO! While there you will be able to train and learn how to control the new chakra, in the meantime Tsunade-sama and Gaara-sama will do their best to teach people to respect you and the other's sacrifice!" Yamato said rapidly, worried about the boy.

"You people had all my life to learn to respect me, I can't see that change in five years if after nineteen nothing changed, you know what is the sad thing? Back when Obito was still at the start of his war plans, in that same island I was forced to face my Dark Side before starting my training to control Yodogimi's chakra, he told me that Konoha and the Elemental Countries would still hate me no matter what I do, I refused and told him that it wasn't true, that I would have changed everyone's view about me...but he was right in the end, I bet he is having a laugh at me right now," Naruto answered, his eyes moving towards the faint outline of the island as they moved closer, the other boats with the ANBU coming closer to them so to keep an eye on him.

"The best ANBU of every village, the most trustworthy of the various Kages and Daimyos, all of them here to keep me in check and stop each other from trying anything, as if any of them won't try to subtly talk me into ditching Konoha for their village, as if I will leave a Village of back-stabbers for another," he then added.

"I will protect you," Yamato said, moving an hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Spare me, Yamato-san, you will just protect Konoha from me, just like everyone you don't care about my well-being, Jiji apparently was the only one to care and he is dead," the blond answered, shoving the hand away to move on the front of the ship and ignoring how every ANBU moved to follow his every step without even trying to be discreet about it.

"You still have me, kit," the massive Fox said with a sigh, the ten tails lazily moving around the cage-free seal.

"I know, I know! I would just have preferred you telling me sooner that you are a girl," the blond mentally answered.

"After Haku I saw that you had problems telling the two sexes apart, he gave me the idea of saying that I am a male" the Juubi Fox said with a mischievous grin.

"And that name?"

"The Sage initially called me Kurama, then he saw that I was female and apologized by changing it, even if the name would have been still good he insisted…he was very similar to you in a lot of ways," Yodogimi answered.

"I am related to him after all, but what should I do now?" Naruto asked.

"We make them happy, we train one year and in the meantime we'll orchestrate our escape and leave those sorry bastards behind, soon the Hachibi's power will completely join me, leaving behind just the mind and spirit, then we'll see how good they will be without the treat of a Jinchuuriki," she answered.

"So Bee will be what? The Vessel of the no-tailed Ox?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I am now the TRUE form of the Juubi and that power belongs to me, the Sage gave us Personality, Soul and Mind, the rest will be mine once more, once that happen I will help you run away," the Fox answered.

"Taking away their last Biju before leaving the bastards behind? I like that, if only you had an human body, I would so much kiss you right now!" the blond answered.

"For now let's just focus on escaping those idiots, you teaser," the Biju answered smirking.

It was with a sense of pleasure that Naruto observed every ANBU tense at his predatory smile, his prankster mind already turning at high-speed to plan his great escape from the ninja world.

Two hours later – Island - waterfall -

Near the tall waterfall Naruto could see a solitary cabin that had been built there near the shore of the small lake under the wall of water, several "posts" were instead on the various branches of the trees, signaling where the ANBU escort would be stationing to keep an eye on him.

"Home Sweet Home, ne?" an Iwa ANBU said jokingly.

"..." Naruto only answered with a glare and a throaty growl, making the masked man let out a nervous laugh and step back a little in discomfort.

"Can I use summons? I need them for my Sage training" the blond asked.

"Only the small ones, don't try anything funny, please," Kankorou begged.

"Don't sweat it, I have all intentions to advance my training," Naruto answered with a sneer.

"For now" he then added mentally.

"Good, I will personally bring you food so you'll know people won't tamper with it, I will even taste it before for you." Yamato said.

"Fine! I will wash my clothes by myself though, I don't trust you people to not try sneak in some seals," the blond answered.

"You don't trust us?" Kankorou asked with a sad voice.

"Not anymore," the other said.

"We won't try to brainwash you, we all just want you to learn to control that chakra, nothing more and nothing less, we will even spar with you to help you become stronger," an ANBU from Spring said hopefully.

"Then you could just have asked instead of kicking me out of my home!" Naruto yelled.

"It was needed to reassure the more...'unfriendly' elements of the Elemental Nations, we needed to show them that you were treated like a prisoner to make them happy," Kankorou explained.

"You mean the ones that still think that a Jinchuuriki is nothing more than a tool? A brainless animal?"

"Regretfully, yes. Some people still follow that train of thought, after what happened in the last War our Kages decided that it was time to change things," an ANBU from the Water Daimyo palace answered with a nod.

"A bit too late, don't you think?" Naruto said with a snarl, walking on the water to reach a small platform in front of the waterfall and sitting down to focus Natural Chakra.

"He is still bitter about this?" the masked man muttered.

"I don't blame him, but he will come around, eventually," Kankurou said with a sigh.

"I have a bad feeling about this instead," Yamato said, shaking his head.

"Don't worry, he won't escape, it's impossible," An ANBU of Kumo answered with a chuckle.

"There! Now I know that I won't be able to sleep!" Yamato said with a despaired moan.

"You really had to jinx it, don't you?" Kankurou added with a defeated sigh.

"What did I say?" the Kumo nin asked in confusion.

A Week Later – island – Naruto's hut -

"Hello, Bee! What brings you here?" Naruto asked cheerfully, watching the Kumo Jinchuuriki sit in front of him with a tired expression.

"Just wanted to see...how are you," Bee answered with a faint panting, accepting the sake dish the other offered him.

"You seem tired, training too much?" the blond asked, hiding his smirk with the cup he was drinking from.

"I don't know, I have spent the last three days eating and sleeping, but my reserves refuse to recharge," the man answered with a sigh.

"Did you talk with a doctor? What does Hachi says?" Naruto asked.

"Apparently my chakra is dissipating, but they don't understand why that is happening, Hachi instead spend most of the time sleeping, the few times he is awake he says that he feels 'drained',"

"It's probably just the stress of the fight against the Juubi and Madara, I am sure it will be just a matter of time before you recover," Naruto answered.

"I hope so...my rap is resenting this, I can't sing if I need to catch my breath every three words," Killer Bee said with a defeated sigh.

"Your rap would be awful no matter what," the blond said with a smirk.

"Brat, you are just jealous of my talent," the other said with a frown.

"If you say so," the young man answered with a smirk.

Meanwhile – Konoha – Hokage Office -

"WHY I CAN'T VISIT HIM? HE IS MY STUDENT!" Kakashi yelled, slamming his hand on the woman's desk.

"CALM DOWN! As I said, I still can't let people from Konoha visit him, the news of his "banishment" is still too new, once people have calmed down you people will have all the liberty to go there," Tsunade answered with narrowed eyes.

"As if they will ever stop celebrating, look at them! Wars, invasions and missions, all useless! No matter what they can't see past the appearances!" Kakashi yelled.

"I had no other choice! It was either this or putting him in a coma! I was against this since the beginning, but I couldn't face the fear of the WHOLE Elemental Countries!" the woman answered, her desk cracking under her fist.

"I would have never done that, I would have fought for keeping him here instead of accepting it," the masked jounin said with narrowed eyes.

He was not surprised of being punched fully on the face and launched against the wall.

"Don't you dare...DON'T YOU DARE PUT ME IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS THEM! I tried everything to stop them, EVERYTHING! I had to relent, I had no other choice," Tsunade said, marching back behind her desk and dropping on her seat with a loud sigh.

"There is always another choice, I thought that Naruto managed to teach at least that to everyone else..." Kakashi answered, limping out of the door, ignoring the Hokage's enraged yelling.

"OUT OF MY OFFICE! OUT! OUT!" Tsunade screamed in absolute fury, once her office was empty she dropped her shoulder and cried once again for what she knew was the worst decision she had ever took.

Konoha – streets -

"It was only once, I swear! It means nothing!" Ino was yelling with wide eyes.

"Means nothing? Forcing a friend to be your sex-toy with the threat of a scandal is nothing!?" Chouji answered.

"You are a wonderful boyfriend, sweet and caring but..." she tried saying.

"But I can't make you scream? Or was just the thrill of doing it in secret? Or even the fact you could 'control' someone else to do what you wanted?" Chouji asked back

"NO! It wasn't that, you idiot! You were simply unable to understand how to properly do that!" the now enraged girl screamed.

"Of course! You cheat on me and it's all my fault! How cruel of me!" the Akimichi boy answered, throwing his arms up in mock disbelief.

"TENTEN!" while those two were arguing, Neji marched towards the weapon user with a disgusted sneer on his face.

"What do you want?" she asked back.

"I had a talk with the Uchiha Heir, do you know what he did tell me?" he said with a frown.

"The same thing he told to every male of Konoha apparently," Tenten answered, crossing her arms.

"You are awfully calm about this, does cheating on me means so little to you?" Neji asked, glaring at her.

"Considering that you were having an affair with that girl from the Market District, I call it pay-back," she answered simply.

"How did you know that?!" Neji asked with wide eyes.

"She likes to brag about it, I happened to be in ear-shot and decided to pay you back for the thing, and let me tell you this, he was better than you in every way possible, dimensions included..." the girl said with a vindictive smirk.

"Why you..." Neji growled in rage.

They won't be the only ones arguing for that, Sasuke had took his time to have the scandal spread widely in the village, making certain to have Hinata and the other girls take the blame if not the biggest part of it, in a way, it was his way to pay for his betrayal and give to the blond his rightful revenge, in his mind, if Naruto had to suffer for his banishment, the others too would be requested to 'share' the burden of it.

And there wasn't a better expert in revenge than Sasuke.

One year later – Island – Waterfall -

It had been a difficult year for Naruto, the excess of chakra had been the most difficult to control, making him almost return to an Academy Student level in terms of control over it, but in six months and with a ludicrous abuse of Shadow Clones he had managed to return to an acceptable level, the various ANBU too were helpful, helping him both with sparring or throwing him kunais from every direction to help him training in evasion.

The new 'improved' chakra cloak of the Fox had been a thrilling sensation that had made him feel 'high' on energy the first time he tried it.

He had also received some angry letters from the various girls followed by the more gentle ones from the boys, he had been surprised to hear how Sasuke had apparently took on himself to spread the thing, the blond had said that just to mock Sakura, but it seemed that the Uchiha boy had took him seriously.

Oh, well...

When three months earlier he had asked to the young Toad in front of him to tell Gamabunta to erase his name from the Summoning Contract he had almost laughed at the summon's horrified face.

Barely a minute later a messenger Toad has come to ask if Naruto could summon Gamabunta to the various ANBU, when the answer had been negative, the Toad Summoning Clan Boss was called by the messenger itself, the tirade the Giant Toad gave to the blond had then been loud, angry and filled with curses.

In exchange of the boy NOT removing himself from the Contract, a secret accord had been made.

"Listen..." a tiny Toad had whispered in the boy's ear, hiding in his clothes to not be seen.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked, feigning a meditative pose.

"The Boss is not happy of your situation, he wants to help you escape in exchange of you not removing your name from our contract," the summon answered.

"I am surprised to hear this," the blond said.

"Having a summoner renounce to a contract is a mark of infamy for a Summoning Clan, the scandal may ruin us," the Toad answered with a sigh.

"What would stop Jiraiya from reverse-summoning me?" Naruto asked.

"We can't stop you from erasing your name, but we can forbid Jiraiya from doing that...those two are two different things,"

"I don't trust you to not trap me for some half-cocked reason,"

"We can give you our word, in thanks for everything you did for us and the Elemental Countries against the Juubi," the Toad said.

"Fine! Here is what I need you to do..." the blond said, ready to explain his plan and the Toad Summoning Clan part in it.

Now Naruto was calmly standing in front of the waterfall, his reflection gaining the aspect of his 'Hidden Self' and giving him an appreciative nod with a devious smirk.

"Summoning!" the young man said biting his thumb, flying through hand-seals and then slamming both palms on the terrain to summon the huge Gamabunta.

As expected, the whole ANBU escort jumped down to surround the boy, ready to knock him down.

"Ah! Always on guard! What do you want, gaki?" the Toad Boss asked, puffing out an huge ring of smoke from his pipe.

"I want you to erase my name from the Toad Summoning Contract," Naruto said

"AGAIN!? For the last time, NO! I won't let you make my Clan appear like fools for abandoning us!" Gamabunta answered with a ferocious growl.

"You all betrayed me, I don't need to summon other traitors to add salt to the wounds," the blond answered.

"And then what? What summons would you use then?" the giant Toad asked, crossing his arms.

"I don't know...the snakes maybe," he answered with a dark smirk.

"WHAT?!"

"It hurts, eh? It hurts watching someone you know stabbing your back like that," Naruto said with an cold laugh.

"Fight me, brat! If you manage to land a single serious hit on me I will remove your name, but in exchange you will promise to NEVER think about joining the Snake Clan," Gamabunta said with a deep frown.

"And if I lose?" the blond asked.

"Then your name remains on the contract and you stop this foolishness and become a good and respectful summoner," the Toad Boss answered.

"Fine to me, come at me, Froggy!" Naruto said with a smirk.

"Damn you!" the Summon said charging at the boy, forcing the ANBU to jump away to not be squashed.

"STOP!" an ANBU of Iwa tried to say before the huge blade of Gamabunta went unsheathed and almost cleaved him in half, he decided to keep his opinions to himself after that.

"Stay still! I will just cut you down to pieces!" Gamabunta yelled taking a wide swipe, destroying the small house of the boy and taking down few trees with the power behind it.

"As if!" Naruto said, stepping over the blade to jump away.

"TAKE THIS!" the Toad Boss said taking in an huge breath.

"SHIT!" Naruto cursed as the huge bullet of water impacted with the terrain near him, washing him away with the torrent-worth of water.

"What's wrong? Am I too much for you, gaki?"

"You would like that, froggy! Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" the blond said crossing his fingers, summoning a dozen of clones around him.

"Numbers won't help!" the Toad Boss said chopping down wave after wave of clones, ignoring the cries of the ANBU to stop the fight.

"BUT THIS WILL! Fuuma Shuriken!" Naruto said, summoning two hundred clones, half of them turning into huge shurikens for the others to launch.

"Tche! That's it?" Gamabunta said, boringly jumping to evade the weapons and catching one in his hand, looking at the small thing between his fingers with a small chuckle.

"You should know me, I like to be unpredictable," Naruto said.

"Hahahaha! Then get serious, you won't win this otherwise," the giant Toad said with a long laugh, tossing the Fuuma Shuriken behind his back, the strength behind the throw making the weapon disappear over the horizon.

"Well...I have won instead, Gamabunta..." Naruto answered with a wide smirk.

"Uh?" The Toad Boss said in surprise.

"What do you mean, Naruto?" Yamato asked in confusion, the other ANBU behind him too nodding to show their confusion.

"Oh, that's easy! I just escaped an island full of trained ANBU, sensor ninjas and several other guards thanks to Gamabunta," the blond answered, his smirk widening even more.

"What do you mean?" the Toad asked confused.

"It was not a shuriken the one you tossed away, luckily you grabbed me instead of one of the clones, thanks for the flight by the way," the blond answered.

"No...Nonononono!" Yamato said with wide eyes full of horror.

"Give my thanks to Killer Bee, by now Hachi should be already recovering, he won't have all his chakra since that now belongs to me, but at least he is still alive," Naruto said, erupting in a mad laugh.

"FIND HIM! FIND HIM!" an ANBU from Suna yelled frantically.

"I am too far by now...JA NE!" the blond said, he and the others disappearing in a chorus of puff! Noises.

"Just to be clear...I didn't know that the shuriken was the gaki, I need to go...ehm...sorry about that by the way..." Gamabunta said with a sheepish smile, disappearing from the area to return home to celebrate the success of the escape mission.

"Told you...never say that something is impossible when talking with him, he will just do his worst to prove you wrong," Kankurou said with a sigh, shaking his head as the other ANBU run away to find the blond.

"What have I done..." Yamato muttered.

"You nothing, we as a whole, we gave him enough reasons to leave the Elemental Countries behind and never return, I need to go, Gaara will want me to hear how things are going, and I fear he will skin me alive for this," the painted boy answered with a whimper, already imagining the wrath of the former Ichibi Jinchuuriki and current Kazekage.

With the transformed blond -

The Fuuma Shuriken was still spinning through the air as it flew above the sea, once passing over a lone merchant ship it transformed back into Naruto, a wide smile on the blond's face.

"There it is, perfectly in time," he said, trying to 'glide' towards the ship.

"Wherever it goes doesn't matter, from there we will just take the first ship that leaves the Elemental Countries never to return," the Juubi Fox answered as the teen landed in the water, resurfacing and then standing on it.

"It was hard to not have those bakas understand why I wanted to spend some time on the beach of the island, but I needed to see when that ship would pass near enough for me to reach it, once every two months at this hour, perfect execution," Naruto answered.

"Yes, we are awesome, I know" the Biju answered with a proud smile.

"Hey there! Can you give me an hand?" the blond asked, jogging towards bewildered crew that saw him fall from the sky.

"And how do you know how to walk on water?" one of the men on the ship asked with a curious expression, he had a pair of pointy ears but otherwise was pretty normal looking.

"Trained to use few tricks," Naruto answered

"Are you a mage?" the man asked with narrowed eyes.

"Nope! A warrior that is trying to have a new chance at life, I am tired of fighting," the blond answered.

"Let...him..." an old man said in a language the blond did not know.

"You sure, old man?" the other asked back.

"He...good...eyes," the old man answered, he seemed to have problems talking.

"Fine! Jump up, boy! old man Link says you are good so for this one time I will trust him, I am Shelon, Captain of this ship, we are leaving those waters and returning to Hyrule, so maybe we are not the ship you need," the man said.

"No, it's exactly what I need, if I return to the Elemental Countries I won't ever be free to have a normal life, if I need to work here to repay you then so be it, hard work never scared me," the blond answered, accepting the captain's hand to jump on the ship's deck.

"Good to hear that, now I just need to teach you Hylian so you will be able to understand what the others back home say...I hope you are a fast learner because we only have six weeks before reaching home," Shelon said with a sigh.

"I usually are, I'll try to learn the basics and then just gesticulate a lot," Naruto answered with a smirk.

"That usually works fine as well, what's your name, boy?" the Captain asked with an amused tone.

"Naruto...just Naruto," he answered, refusing to give too much informations to stop future researches.

"Nephew...Link...hide..." the same old man said, his musical language interrupted by the groans of pain from his throat.

"What?" the blond asked.

"The old man, that should not talk because he still has a damned wound on his throat," Shalon said glaring momentarily at the old man.

"He is suggesting to give you his same name and tell people that you are his nephew so you will 'hide' better, I don't know why you should hide from your home, but the lesser I know the more away from trouble I will be," the Captain said.

"So I should be?"

"Naruto Link...yeah it sound strange, we'll just say that you have a malformation in your ears that you don't like to talk about...sorry but those are pretty strange," the man said, rising his hands in a placating manner.

"Same goes for me, with those ears you look like Elves," Naruto commented.

"Whatever, now come, while you help on the ship I'll try to give you a small lesson of Hylian Language and manners, old man Link will take care of the rest, he works in farm back in Ordon village, a new ranch hand will be surely appreciated there," Shalon said, patting on Naruto's shoulder.

"Why he is here on this ship?" the blond asked.

"He likes to travel at sea, the doctors suggested to try to see if the air of the sea would have helped heal his wound and give him back his voice, it didn't work," the Captain answered with a sad tone.

"Is that wound so bad?"

"He used to be a warrior, an arrow to the throat almost killed him, he managed to survive with just losing his voice, since then he works in that farm, I was there when he was told that he would have probably remained mute for the rest of his life, he didn't take that well, I was the one to present him to the ranch owner, he is pretty good from what my friend told me," Shalon said

"I see, well, is thanks to him if you people took me in, may as well repay him by helping him at the farm," Naruto answered.

"Glad to hear this, boy! Now come, I'll show you where the cleaning supplies are, you'll start from the basics! Hahahahaha!" the Captain said with a loud laugh.

Meanwhile, while the boy was slowly learning how to help the merchants and taking lessons in Hylian Language, back in the Elemental Countries utter chaos exploded as the news of Naruto's escape rapidly became knew, even though the ones knowing the blond enough were not surprised to hear that he managed in what seemed an impossible task.

The real tragedy arrived when the Toad Summoning Clan had 'accidentally' let slip the fact that he was the son of Minato Namikaze, Yondaime of Konoha, turning what were only voices and speculations in pure facts, making the veritable Hunt for the blond became frantic, helped by the fact that Jiraiya could not reverse-summon the blond because he had somehow prevented the Toads from doing so, or at least that was what he was being told every time he asked.

All of this was unknown to Naruto, but even if he knew that he wasn't about to care, focused as he was into looking for a new life in the land of Hyrule, far and far away from Konoha and every bad memories the Elemental Countries held for him.

This was the prologue, may not seem on the same level of my other stories, but I happen to like it and the idea me and Phoenix Warehouse Productions came up with when talking about this, the whole concept comes from his one-shot "Letter to a Hero" and the directions he gave me when I started, as you will see, I openly used it here integrating the whole thing with the story, I have his permission to do this so don't bother telling me I copied it, both Phoenix Warehouse Productions and me are okay with this, thank you.

I know I am adding other new stories instead of updating the ones already here, but once I have a "good idea" I like to use it, it's how I work.

(As a concession to my Beta Reader, Utsukushi's name has been changed. We choose 'Yodogimi', that was the name of the niece of Oda Nobunaga, as the new one. Phoenix Warehouse Production has been very kindly in accepting this little change. Sorry about the abrupt change).
