Yay! First fanfic! Anyway, here are a few things you should know before reading:

Do not ask me when this takes place! Naruto and co. (Sakura and Sasuke) know everyone from the chuunin exam. But, Lee isn't crippled, and this wouldn't take place during the exam because then they wouldn't be on a mission. The Third Hokage is still alive. Plus, Naruto would be training his butt off and wouldn't have time for that. This takes place in some other, made up time frame. All I can say is that it takes place after the Land of the Waves mission. It takes place in Nowhen, that mystical time where nothing makes sense. Most of the stuff in ( )s don't effect the story at all and are there to give you a better understanding of this fanfic. There might be some errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation, and I either overlooked them or got lazy and didn't correct them. Since this is my first one, please no flames! Constructive criticism, yes. Flames, no. While bearing that in mind, sit back, relax, and enjoy this Zelda/Naruto fanfic.

scene change llllllll

A tired group of ninja can be seen walking through the forest. There were four in this group: a girl with pink hair, a blond boy, a boy with black hair, and a man with white-ish hair. It was cell 7 of Konohagakure(meaning Naruto and co.). It was late afternoon, with a somewhat heavy fog. Naruto and Sakura had their guards almost totally down, but Sasuke and Kakashi were very much alert.

"Wait." said Kakashi, breaking the silence. He had heard something, but didn't want to scare his students. But they knew that Kakashi rarely ever stops, so his was a futile effort. They also knew that he was trying to hear something, so they kept quiet. After about a minute, Sasuke heard what Kakashi had heard: footsteps.

Kakashi was puzzled by this. A ninja wouldn't be so careless as to let his(or her) footsteps be heard. The footsteps kept getting closer, at a constant pace. Which meant, Kakashi thought, that whoever's coming closer hasn't noticed that we've stopped moving. Definitely not a ninja. However, there was a strange feeling about whoever was coming closer. It seemed…not human. It could be Orochimaru, but he was a skilled ninja. Did he not consider them a threat?

While Kakashi was racking his head trying to figure out who could be following them, a figure appeared in the fog. Well, it was more like a vague silhouette of a person. Even through the thick fog, Kakashi could make out a sword hilt. He acted upon instinct and dove through the fog with a kunai knife in front of him, ready to slash through whoever was there.

Over those past few minutes, Naruto and Sakura were on edge. Kakashi seemed to still be listening, so they stayed quiet. But after a few minutes, they began to think Kakashi was imagining things. They received a shock when Kakashi suddenly whirled around, pulled a kunai from his pack, and dove into the fog.

The figure in the fog stopped, and apparently saw a shape rushing him. Clang! Kakashi saw a shield stop the kunai knife. He took a quick look at the person in front of him, and what he saw surprised him.

It appeared to be a young man-about the age of 18, and his slight build betrayed his strength. He was wearing brown leather boots with white pants, along with a long green shirt and a belt over it. What did kids call them? Tunics? Focus, he thought. The young man was a dirty blond and was wearing a long, pointed green hat. He had a sheathed sword and the shield he was holding had a strange insignia on it. But that wasn't the part that really made him stand out. His ears were pointed, and his kind blue eyes were elven.

While taking this all in, he saw the young man's left hand rise slowly to his sword hilt and closed his hand around its grip. Kakashi watched as he seemed to stop, and lowered his hand away from the hilt and focused on keeping the kunai away from his body. Despite having kind eyes, Kakashi could see there was some hate hidden just below the surface. This traveler seemed to be heading towards Konohagakure, and he didn't want this boy to cause trouble. Everyone seemed to be on edge because of Orochimaru.

Kakashi pulled back, causing his opponent to lose his balance for a split second. But that was all Kakashi needed. He went right between shield and wielder and slashed right across the chest, a little above the heart. The traveler fell backwards and hit the ground with a thud. Kakashi jumped into the air and dived on top of the stranger, the kunai pointed at his heart. Clang! The traveler stopped the kunai literally inches from his chest. But with what? As far as he could tell, it was a metal, claw-like device in his right hand. Impressive, Kakashi thought, he stopped my dive with only his right arm. Then he saw another of the same type of device in the stranger's left hand. He gripped the kunai above where the right one was.

Kakashi jumped backwards off of him, leaving the kunai wedged between the stranger's hands. Kakashi was ready for him to jump up and attack him immediately, but it seemed as if he was stunned. He got up, taking his left hand off the kunai and stared at it. He used the device on his left hand to move the kunai so the loop was pointed outward and extended his arm, as if to give it back.

As he did this, he spoke for the first time during their encounter. But it wasn't the same language Kakashi spoke. It seemed like an ancient tongue; the type that died out long ago.

"What?!" gasped Kakashi.

That startled the traveler. It seemed that neither knew nor spoke the other's language.

I forgot the disclaimer! Nooooooooo! (gets dragged away by lawyers)

Laret: albino chocobo does not own Naruto or Zelda. Please excuse me while I go bail ac out of jail.
