Bolt out of the Blue
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing! Avatar: Last Airbender belongs to Vaicom, Naruto to Kishmoto. The only thing involved with this that I own is the laptop it was typed on.
MP: This is going to be interesting. I'm answering a challenge laid by Son Kenshin in their fic Bending the Jutsu. The Challenge is to send pre-time skip Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, and the Sound Four to the Avatar: The Last Airbender world. Also Oruchimaru and the Akatsuki must also get involved too. The mandatory pairings are Kataang, NaruHina, and SasuSaku. My other pairings are Maiko, Sukka, and Gaara x Toph. The last pairing seems weird but I think it could happen and that it could work.
I'm pulling Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata, and Gaara from the end of the first Chunin exam so no curse seal, no chodori, no summoning contracts, no rasengan.
Note # 1: I do not do –san, -sama, -chan, -kun etc., suffixes nor do I write the name in its inverted form. So if people do not like this then I am sorry but I am a Westerner and I will write the names in the Western format.
Note # 2: I am deviating from the challenge a little because I feel it more realistic that when crossing the barriers between worlds for what I have happen to occur.
Final Note: Each ninja will only be able to perform non-elemental jutsu. By the way, can anyone name where the title of the story comes from? There are actually two correct answers.
To quote Uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures, One More Thing!: Sometimes it'll look like I'm spitting back lines verbatim from the episode and others I'll be skipping over/ summarizing stuff. When it's verbatim it's because I don't know of a good way to alter the dialogue nor insert the extra characters into a scene. Example: Yagoda talking to Katara at the North Pole in the Healing Igloo: A very personal conversation that really can't be altered. And there will be times I follow Naruto (or another character from his universe) around instead of writing the main action of a scene because if you're reading this you've already seen the show and know what happens anyway. This is done in as an exercise to prevent myself from just transcribing the action of the particular episode instead of actually writing a story. I will skip some stuff, I'm warning you now. Sometimes I'll keep the original dialogue for the actual characters of the A:TLA universe and add in snarky/relevant comments from the Naruto characters
Over all, I'm just giving this cross-over my best shot. Let's hope I at least hit the white edge of the target.
So here goes:
Bolt out of the Blue-Book 1: Water
"Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another," Law of Conservation of Energy-James Joule
Chapter 1: Setting the Scene
What one might not know is that there are many alternate planes of existence aside from their own; and it just so happens that portals between these planes will open up at random and need to pull in a massive amount of energy to fill the void and close the portal. With the death of the Air Nomads that means a whole lot of energy would be needed to fill in the void in universe 3.124567b AKA the Avatar: Last Airbender universe.
In the first part of the Chunin exam sat a spiky haired blonde ninja boy who wore a bright kill-me-orange jumpsuit and a head band that had a metal plate on the front with a strange swirled symbol engraved on it. His bright blue eyes looked around nervously from the test that was far too difficult for him to pass on his own wits. On his sweat covered face there were three whiskers on each cheek. This boy was Naruto Uzumaki, the host of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Next to him sat the hunched form of a girl with lavender-pupiless eyes wearing a bulky tan jacket, her black hair cropped short in a bob, around her neck was the same headband that Naruto wore. This was Hinata Hyuga and it was known to everyone, but Naruto, that she had a crush on him.
In another part of the room sat a girl with long pink hair wearing a red dress over blue shorts, on her head was the also another headband like Naruto's only hers was worn like a head band instead of a sweatband like Naruto's. Her green eyes looked at the paper in concentration. This is Sakura Haruno, Naruto's teammate, crush, and the smartest girl in their academy class. She was able to complete the questions on her own due to her own intelligence and she had divined the true reason behind the test was to cheat sneakily like the ninja they were supposed to be.
Also in the room sat a boy with black hair wearing a blue jacket with a red fan symbol on the back, his eyes currently red and he was copying another boy's every move. He also wore the exact same head band as Naruto and wore it in the same way as him as well. This was Naruto's final teammate Sasuke Uchiha. Normally his eyes were black but when he activated his bloodline ability they turned red and he gained the famed Sharingan.
The only other demon host in the room was a redheaded boy wearing a white sash over a black outfit with a gourd on his back. An eye of sand was floating around the room finding the answers for him. This was Gaara of the Desert, host of the One-Tailed Raccoon Dog named Shukaku. He had a similar metal plate on the strap that held his gourd on his back, only his symbol looked similar to an hour glass.
Right before the administrator of the first exam, Ibiki Morino, could stand up and announce the final question a loud wrenching sound could be heard. Everyone's eyes were drawn up towards the ceiling where a strange vortex appeared, sucking tests and other loose materials into it. Then,
"AHHH!" Sakura had been caught up in the gravitational pull of the vortex along with Gaara, whose sand had gotten sucked up before it could form his ultimate defense.
"Sakura!" Naruto yelled as he and Sasuke got to their feet. Both jumped after her only to get sucked in along with Hinata. After that, the vortex closed.
"Get the Hokage in here now!" Ibiki ordered.
Aunt Wu's Village,
A bolt of lightning shot down from a cloudless part of the sky and slammed into the ground outside of the village.
"Did Aunt Wu see that coming!" Sokka cried. By this point, the villagers had learned to ignore Sokka's outbursts and kept going along as if a bolt out of the blue hadn't struck near their village.
"Stupid villagers." Sokka muttered before his curiosity took over. When Sokka arrived at the impact site he found that in it laid the last thing he'd expect; an odd looking boy dressed in a bright orange outfit with blonde hair lying face down in the charred dirt. Yet, oddly enough, the boy wasn't even singed.
"AANG! KATARA! COME CHECK THIS OUT!" Sokka yelled before he ran back into the village waving his arms around excitedly. Little did Sokka know, other events like this had occurred simultaneously to the one he had witnessed, nor could he have guessed the impact these events would have.
Outside Zhong-Zhong's Camp,
Chey had been sneaking around as he gather supplies for himself and the rest of the deserters at Zhong-Zhong's camp whenever a bolt of lightning hit the ground in front of him startling the ex- Fire Nation soldier. He managed to only be slightly singed from the experience. His curiosity got the better of him as he peered into the crater to see a boy lying there face down and unconscious, yet unharmed. He picked up the oddly dressed boy and saw that despite his odd outfit, his dark hair and pale skin fit in with the average citizen of the fire nation.
Hopefully Zhong-Zhong wouldn't be too angry with him for bringing the boy back instead of the supplies he'd been sent out for.
Ba Sing Se: University Courtyard,
When the bolt slammed into the ground the Dai Li were immediately on the move. In the center of the crater was a young girl, but the public didn't see much more than that before the Dai Li sent everyone away. Her odd appearance aside, she was perfect to become another Joo Dee. Long Feng motioned with his hand at the girl and she was carried away as the earthbenders bent the ground back into its proper shape leaving only a large charred section behind. They could fix her appearance after her training, after all, a Joo Dee shouldn't look too different than a respectable woman should look.
Gaoling: Outskirts,
The strange hermit, who few saw, had been enjoying the peace and quiet whenever a bolt of lightning shattered that by slamming down next to his small home. He was on edge his hand straying towards his thigh where weapons had once been, but were not at the moment. He looked into the crater to see a redhaired boy with a gourd lying there unharmed and not ever the least bit effected by the lightning aside from being a bit dazed, yet conscious. He recognized the symbol on his gourd strap as he picked the boy up, coming from a world he had given up to save the lives of others.
Northern Water Tribe: Spirit Oasis,
Master Pakku had been shaken out of his mediation whenever he heard the crack of lightning and the screams of people. He ran out of his house to see smoke rising from the Oasis. He tore through the city like a man possessed before he entered to see lying on a patch of charred grass was an oddly dressed girl, who was completely unharmed, though with the smoke coming from the grass she would begin to get hurt by smoke inhalation. He pulled her off of the grass set her down before calling for a healer to come and check her over.
Aunt Wu's Village,
Naruto felt as if someone had been pounding a hammer in his head whenever he awoke.
"Look, he's coming too!" a voice said. Naruto saw a bald boy with a blue arrow tattoo on his forehead wearing orange monk robes was leaning over him with a dark haired, dark skinned girl on his right and a dark haired, dark skinned guy on his right. The boy and girl were both wearing similar blue outfits and had the same blue eyes. The monk boy had gray eyes.
'Last thing I know I was at that stupid test with Sakura and Stupid Sauske whenever-,' Naruto remembered the vortex. This caused him get into a crouch with his right hand on his weapons pouch before he yelled,
"WHERE THE HECK AM I? AND WHERE'S SAKURA AND SASUKE!"
MP: So here it is. Constructive criticism is welcome. Flames are not.
