Starts on Episode 9 of Legend of Korra and continues on from there, sorry for spelling and grammar

"Ok now I'm sure I'm definitely on a different planet….or dimension, or I could be trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi…I really hope it's not the last one!"

On a snowy mountain range surrounded by a blanket of fresh powder a teenage boy sat on the ground meditating as he was surveying his current location through his mind's eye. The young man had looked like he just crawled out of the darkest and most violent depths of the underworld.

Wearing a pair of battle damaged orange pants along with a heavily rundown chainmail under shirt Naruto Uzumaki let out a sigh as he got back on his feet, shaking off the snow that had covered him while he had meditated. He winched from the pain radiating from the stump that had once been his right forearm, but that along with his hand had been completely eradicated thanks to the climax of his latest battle.

He shrugged the injury and any lingering thoughts on how is life would be a tad bit different from now on aside. He even wasn't concerned on the how he traveled from the Valley to the End to a location where even though he was surrounded by an abundance of natural resources he wasn't able to enter into his sage mode to further zero in on his location.

No that wasn't right he could feel the natural energy around him it was just locked as if the world he was on had something that was preventing him from tapping into its energy. But like before that could wait with his beloved orange jacket now long gone and no other coat in the only scroll he had on him, Naruto began to walk forward with his only concern on finding shelter before it got even colder as the sun looked ready to set.

Trying to walk in the snow was difficult he could have been sliding over the ground but the ninja wanted to keep whatever of his own chakra he had left focused on sustaining him. One quick trip to his mental world revealed that his roommate and previous tormenter Kurama the Nine Tailed Fox was completely knocked out with no signs of life coming out from him. All Naruto could find in the mental world besides an enormous fifty foot charka monster was a small orb of reserve beast chakra. Kurama must have managed to mold it for Naruto before the behemoth entered his slumber.

If Naruto evened the chakra out with his own he could survive from his fatigue and hunger for the next couple of hours, but if he squandered it he could use the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode for a few minutes before completely passing out.

He had settled for using short bursts of the charka arm technique in substitution for his fallen real one if the need came for it. Luckily for him Kurama's innate ability to sense negative emotions wasn't reliant on charka to operate, which was why Naruto was using it to its fullest range to head towards to what he assumed were a group of humans.

Aware that he was getting closer Naruto shivered more severely as he desperately tried to warm himself up by rubbing his body with just his left arm. Walking past the last tree before he entered a clearing Naruto quickly pivoted back to hide behind the timber as he saw who it was he was tracking.

From what looked like a motorized carriage (judging by the vehicles shape and the fact that he could smell liquid fuel being burned from its exhaust) Naruto saw five human shaped organisms emerge from the machine.

Coming out of the back of the wagon were three of the five creatures. They looked like members of some sort of military, as they were dressed the same wearing dark green uniforms with funky shaped masks with screws on the top of their heads along with dark boots and gloves.

The next one to emerge from the front was to Naruto's relief a normal looking man. He wore a different uniform as his mask didn't cover his face but he did have on a pair of goggles that made it easier to see his eyes. He must been in charge or at least have a higher rank then the others as he started to give them orders which the all responded with a salute. And then finally the last one showed himself by walking around the other four.

This last stranger was no doubt the leader of the whole group. Along with a different uniform then the cannon folders and the goggled man Naruto was going to refer to as mustache face, he wore a white porcelain mask that had what looked like tribal markings painted on it along with a giant red dot smack dab on the forehead.

All five men started to make their way towards the cabin that had been built dead center of the clearing and just over a cliff. Ether they were entering unannounced or going towards their own outpost at this point Naruto didn't care all too much he just wanted to get out of the cold.

He needed a way on quickly as the snow was beginning to fall even faster than before as the wind started to howl in rage. Noticing that the men were walking towards the cabin in a straight line part of a plan stated conceive in Naruto's mind.

Looking at his stump arm Naruto began to concentrate, if he managed to only coat his bicep in Kurama's chakra cloak he would not only save on using too much energy but use the chakra arm without any problems. But judging from the speed the men were heading towards the door and not knowing how long he could keep the arm out in his current condition he took a deep breath as he estimated his upcoming gamble working with only a five second time frame.

Letting out a breath he gripped his right bicep with his left hand and aimed what remained of his right arm directly at the cannon folder solider that had taken up the rear of the squad.

Five

Naruto's right arm glowed as it was covered in the charka clock manifesting a hand that stretched out towards the unexpected mook.

Four

The chakra arm's clawed hand grew as hit snared to soldier around the neck with its fingers warping around the masked individual's mouth preventing him from calling out for help.

Three

Naruto silently lifted the soldier off the ground as he reeled his charka arm back as he was getting his real arm ready to punch the soldier's lights out.

Two

The knocked out soldier was stripped of his gloves, mask, and jacket as Naruto leaped into the air covering the great distance in one jump as he put on the stolen articles of clothing as well as using a one handed seal to transform the rest of his attire look identical as the rest of the uniform as he descended down.

One

The mustached man placed his hand on the cabin's door handle turning it over and allowing the porcelain masked man to enter first. He soon followed after allowing the three privates to enter first, not noticing that the last one was fidgeting slightly.

Naruto heard the door close behind him as Mustache walked a head of him and the others and stood right next the hooded porcelain face.

It was then that the ninja could sense two more people in the cabin. They were directly below them one he could feel was angry, frustrated, and slightly scared. The other was more scared but with a dash of anger and anxiety.

Shifting his weight around Naruto could tell that the floor wasn't as sturdy as it should be one simple glance around the cabin would tell anybody that the shack didn't have proper up keep for quite some time.

The ninja could have heard what the two occupants below him were saying if it weren't for Creepy Mask Face quietly talking over them as he gave Naruto and the others their orders.

"Lieutenant" the hooded leader said in a chilling yet familiar voice. "When Councilman Tarrlok reaches up the stairs I want you and the others to subdue him quickly. I want him taken care of first before we deal with the Avatar."

Mustache face who Naruto guessed was either is rank or in the unlikely coincidence actually named Lu Ten Ant sneered and nodded in agreement. "Whatever you say, Amon."

Everyone got into position as the sounds of footsteps started to echo into the room. Naruto took this time to analyze the masked men with the few piece of information he had.

One the masked man whose name was Amon sounded an awful like the Demon of the Mist Zabuza Momochi, but then again so did Orochimaru so even though it would be prejudice to assume that Amon was a bad guy because of that similarity Naruto would still try to attack him when he had an opening.

Two even with the familiar sounding voice this guy's name was Amon just like the demon! With the spooky get up and mask he was most defiantly dressed that way to put fear and superstitious in the hearts of his enemy's.

And three and what was the biggest reason Naruto should get this guy was the fact that he was wearing a mask, that's just it the mask alone is a pretty big reason, he didn't have a good track record with guys in masks.

Whatever Naruto's plans were he'd have to decide fast as the occupant whoacording to Amon was called Tarrlock was climbing up the last steps. When he a middle aged man with a dark complexion wearing a blue suit reached the top he quickly took a small step back in fear at seeing the masked men in his cabin.

"Amon!" Tarrlok gasped at seeing the man before him.

"It is time for you to be equalized"

"…Did this Amon guy real just say that?" Naruto thought as he almost fell over. That statement alone added another reason for the yellow haired ninja to take a cheap shot at the masked creep first chance he got.

Amon's henchmen each pulled out a set of snares as they twirled them around while the Lieutenant looked like he was reaching for whatever it was sticking out of his metal backpack, as they walked in front of their leader and approached Tarrlok. Naruto joined them as well still weighing his options.

"All right" the ninja thought to himself again. "I'll knock this Tarrlok guy out with a quick open palm strike from the chakra arm. Then hopefully if seeing a giant arm made out of light isn't a normal thing on this planet I can spin around and use the arm like a whip and knock these other guys out too. Yes good plan!"

"You fool! You've never faced bending like mine!"

…..Wait ,what?

Before Naruto could lift up his phantom arm he felt a tremendous force descend upon him as he fell to the floor. Without the use of his charka he couldn't break free from the power that was holding him down. With his head turned to the side he could see that the other masked men also fell victim to the same phenomenon.

"Oh great! Another guy who has gravity abilities!" The masked ninja moaned out as he tried to pry himself up again.

It was then Naruto saw why Amon was the boss of his group. While the rest of them were all struggling on the ground Naruto witnessed Amon walk forward with very little difficulty as he fend off the invisible attack.

Rolling his head his head around Naruto saw the look of panic on Tarrlok's face as he held out his hands and sent out another unseen attack at Amon in hopes it would stop the demon in his tracks. For all his efforts all he did was slow him down, as Amon still kept moving right along.

"What? What are you?" Naruto heard Tarrlok whisper in quite horror.

"I am the solution"

Naruto even in the situation he was currently trapped in sweat dropped at the lame one liner. "Doesn't this guy ever stop?"

Amon was in close enough range to reach out and grabbed one of Tarrlok's arms. He then twisting the councilman around until the masked man was standing behind him.

Amon then jabbed his right hand at the base of Tarrlok's neck, who cried out in pain as he had a look of horror on his face.

Luckily with Tarrlok's focus broken Naruto was able to recover quick enough to get back on his feet. As he saw Amon bring his other hand down onto Tarrlock's head the ninja thought of away to knock both of them out at the same time.

Just like before Naruto concentrated as he molded the last bits of Kurama's chakra and created another chakra arm that he stretched out and let lose right at the two men.

Amon who was busy subduing Tarrlok and Tarrlok who was still in fear at what Amon was about to do to him both failed to realize that a giant glowing hand had struck them. The two men were attacked so hard that they not only fell backwards from the force of charge, but that it carried the two of them down the stair case behind them and didn't stop falling until both were slammed right into the cellar's stone bricked walls.

Naruto snapped his charka arm back just as the other masked men were able to get up on their feet.

With a look of confusion and anguish the Lieutenant did a double take at what had happed to his boss and at the assailant who was beyond his attack. "How…..who…What are you!" he asked angry as he pulled out what was in his backpack. It was a pair of kali sticks that had a current of electricity running through them.

"Unpridecalabe!" Naruto shouted with so much agusto that a tiny part of him said that's how you say a real one liner.

The Lieutenant let out a roar as he dived in and tried to strike down the ninja. Naruto countered by jumping up into the air and landing one of the walls of the cabin, only to quickly charka walk over to the ceiling.

the ninja saw the Lieutenant gawking up at him not knowing the reason for the look of stupefaction was from the surprised expression of someone standing on a wooded celling for the first time. Naruto knew that he couldn't use anymore charka arms for a while. But the little tailed beast chakra he had left was enough to augment his strength for the next five minutes.

Wasting no time Naruto stretched out his left arm as he disconnected himself from the ceiling and plummeted down towards the floor. With a mighty battle cry Naruto struck the ground with his fist with enough fury that he demolished the floor causing all of the occupants on the top level to travel down to the basement.

Naruto landed on his feet while the others weren't so lucky and crashed down hard enough that they couldn't get right back up.

The ninja began to look around the basement only for him to miss the giant metal box in the middle of it for a shelf that contained a row of food perseveres.

The orange ninja wasted no time devouring the assortment of procured meats and even dried fruits and vegetables as he didn't have the leisure to be picky. Just as he opened a jug of water and started to guzzle it down he heard a voice coming from the box.

"What's going on out there I saw the ceiling fall down is there anyone there to get me out!"

Naruto deduced that by sounds of it the girl who was in the box must have been the one he sensed before, the scared and anxious one. Walking over to the container he noticed that the box lacked any windows for him to look inside.

"Hey is there anybody in there?" Naruto asked as he knocked in side.

"Is there anybody inside?"the voice mocked out angrily. "You just heard me say something a second ago!"

"I said anybody you could be a talking wolf or something." Naruto defended.

"A wolf? Wolves don't talk you weirdo. Now get me out of here!" the girl yelled back from her confinement.

"They do where I come from." Naruto said quietly as he saw a key on a nearby table. "Ok stand back I'm going to open the door!"

Naruto grabbed the key and placed it in the container and unlocked the latch. As he opened the door he was rewarded by a blast of fire from the occupant inside.

"What the hell!" Naruto managed to bend backwards as he let the fire flow over his body. But he had caught a few sparks that had spread over his newly acquired jacket. Stretching back up Naruto tried to pat himself out as he yelled. "What the hell was that for?!"

Inside that box he saw that his attacker was indeed a girl, around his age. Like Tarrlok she too had a dark complexion with long brown hair tried in a ponytail. She was dressed in a blue outfit with a fur belt and boots to go along with her ensemble.

Naruto's eyes continued to linger at the girl more specifically around her chest area that he just noticed was slightly more developed then some of the other girls around his age back home.

The girl who was in a defense stance saw even with a mask on where Naruto was looking. She blushed and tossed another fire ball at him. "Stop staring at me like that you lecher!"

Naruto avoided the fire again but this time he caught enough flames that he had to start unbottenimg his jacket. "What's your problem, lady?!"

The girl just scoffed at the ninja predicament. "Ha aren't you a little too short to be an Equalist!" she said in a contempt and play at humor.

It then donned on Naruto that he was still in disguised. "Equalist is that what these guys call themselves, seriously? Oh wait I'm still in the uniform!" Naruto released the transformation on himself turning his pants and boot back to his normal attire just as he stripped away the jacket that buried on the ground along with the glove that he pinned to the sleeve.

He then pulled off the mask and said. "My names Naruto Uzumaki and I was trying to free you."

The girl's face shifted from anger to terror as she clasped her face with one hand and pointed at Naruto with the other.

Naruto looked around seeing that she was point at him. "What is it? What's wrong?" he asked.

"You…..your arm." She said weakly as she was pointing at his dismembered limb. Naruto looked at said arm and saw that his stump had started to bleed out.

"Ah crap" Naruto groaned out in annoyance "When that Tarrlok guy used his gravity ability on me he must have caused the wounds to open back up."

"Bloodbending." The girl said quietly as she placed a hand over her mouth.

"What?"

"Tarrlok" a Bloodbender he can control a person's body and make them follow his commands."

"Ohhhhh, that explains why the floor didn't break earlier when he pushed me to the ground. I guess he must have caused my wounds to open back up and bleed out from the pressure."

Just as Naruto was given the skinny on the councilman's true source of power Naruto heard the sounds of Amon and his crew starting to get back up on their feet.

"Crap we don't have time for this!" Naruto turned around facing the soldiers as he raised his bleeding arm at the girl. "I need you to cauterize this!" he ordered as he waved the limb.

"What!?"

"You heard me burn it shut with your flames so I can get us out of here already!" Naruto yelled back.

The girl held out her hands and hesitated just for a second before she did as she was told by creating a low burning steady flame at the bleeding flesh.

Naruto gripped the side of the metal box with his left hand as the pain from the first aid started to take its toll on him. He gritted his teeth and used every ounce of strength not to cry out as he started to crush the box with his hand.

"It's done!" the girl said as she looked like she was about to throw up ether from the act that she had just preformed or by the smell of Naruto's burning flesh that she most likely was subjected to.

"Yes it is." The Lieutenant had been the first one to get back up as he rotated his shoulders a bit before he recharged his fighting sticks. "Don't think I'm going to show you mercy, kid. I've seen what you can do with that freak arm of yours."

"Alright Mustache face, let's see how good you really are." Naruto leaned his head back and whispred to the girl. "Hey can you reach over to my leg strap and pull out one of my kunai knives?"

Since the ninja always strapped his case on his right thigh it would have been difficult to pull out a blade with his left. The girl once again followed the boy's command as she was curious to see how strong he was to make it this far.

Feeling the knife handed to him Naruto spun it around before stopping it with the knife point down in his grasp. He didn't particularly like the look on his opponents face. "What are you grinning about, it's creeping me out."

The Lieutenant smile grew a bit wider as he entered a stance and tapped his kali's together getting a series of sparks to fly out. "The ceiling's too high for you to jump on now, the ground under us is solid stone, and I'm starting to think you might not be able to use that giant arm of yours otherwise you would have to use it to free her."

Naruto just gave to older man a deadpan expression. "Or I just used common sense the key was right there." He pointed over towards the table.

"Then why did you ask me to step back if you weren't going to blow it open or something?" the girl asked.

"Because I didn't know if the door sung in or out and if it did the later I couldn't tell if it was spring loaded." Naruto said back not knowing why they were having this conversation.

"Look out!" the girl tried to push Naruto out of the way as the Lieutenant decided to attack now in order to catch the ninja off guard.

Naruto just stood his ground and became an unmovable object as the Lieutenant thrusted his staff forward ready to fry the boy.

Naruto defended himself by using his kunai knife to block the weapon by channeling enough wind chakra through the blade to slice through the electrified weapon.

The room was silent as the broken kali fell to the floor echoing its hollowed cry of death in the basement. The Lieutenant stared at the half still in his hand as he discarded it and tried is attack again with his other only for it so be slain by the knife as well.

Taking this chance Naruto went on the offensive and sliced his weapon diagonally across the Lieutenant's chest cutting his uniform along with the straps that held his backpack charger that crashed behind him. Naruto didn't stop as he aimed another slash this time across the man's waist cutting his belt off making his pants fall off revealing what he had on underneath.

"Are….are you wearing a banana hammock?" Naruto laughed at as he pointed at his opponent's choice of undergarments while the girl let out a few giggles as well.

"It's for convenience! I'm wearing leather from head to toe I….I get hot under all of this!" he screamed in a vain attempt to defend himself as he lifted up his up his pants only to trip backwards over his own backpack.

With his enemy back on the ground Naruto wasted no time on the man. He grabbed the girl with his good hand and hoisted her off the ground and over his shoulder.

"What are you doing!" the girl demanded as she started to wiggle around trying to break free.

"I'm getting us out of here!" Naruto yelled back as he leaped into the air and back up to the entrance of the cabin and with one kick he shattered the door open and went back into the outdoor.

Amon had managed to pry the unconscious Tarrlok off of himself as he walked over to the center of the ceilingless basement. He was joined by the Lieutenant who kept a hold on his trouser to keep them from falling down.

"Amon" the Lieutenant said slowly gritting his teeth in anger "That kid what he was?"

The hooded leader of the Equalist party started back at the broken door not taking his eyes off of it was he walked over to the metal box. He finally broke contact with the open hole when he squatted down and used his fingers to swipe some of the blood Naruto's wound left behind.

Standing right back up he rubbed the liquid between his fingers and sniffed the red substance before whispering harshly. "A sculptor? Here!"

Line Break

"Slow down, time out! Stop jumping around like a rabaroo already!"

After Naruto had gotten both him and the girl out of the cabin he used his second wind from is short food refuel to jump over towards the forest and make his way across the high tree branches in hopes of reaching some sort of civilization.

He stopped on a branch like the girl asked as he himself found that now would be a good time to know where he was.

Naruto placed the girl back on her feet only to get bombard by a payload of questions. "Who are you, where did you come from, how can you jump like that, how could you slice through an electrified weapon without getting shocked, why's your hair yellow, and what happened to your arm.".

Naruto narrowed his brow trying to proses all of the inquiry "I told you my name's Naruto and where I come from, which by my guess is very far away from his place you introduce yourself first before asking another for their name."

The girl looked slightly confused as she took a step back. "You don't know who I am? Then why did you save me?"

Naruto looked at her like she asked a stupid question. "Come on a girl trapped in a metal box by a guy who has a cabin in the middle of nowhere and can control a person's body with his thoughts, I thought he was going bad touch you or something."

The girl looked like she got what the ninja meant by bad touch as she looked away and held her arms over her chest. "I…I don't think he was going to do anything like that. He captured me because I found out he was a bloodbender."

"And I'm guessing that's not something that's not a one hundred percent legal?"

The girl shook her head as she straightened back up and said with determination. "I'm Korra, I'm the Avatar." She said it with such poise and charisma that if they were in a movie a musical score with a lot of uprising trumpets would be playing in the back ground.

Naruto just shifted his eyes from his left to his right as he scrunched up his face a little. "And by Avatar are you talking about the computer kind? Is that were we are in a computer program?"

Korra looked at Naruto with confusion as well. "What's a computer?"

Naruto responded by brightening up a little bit "Oh you must mean the other kind of avatar, like the spiritual kind. Ok then what are you the avatar of?" he asked.

Korra almost fell over from his question. "What do you mean of what kind? I told you I'm the Avatar!"

Naruto just got annoyed. "What do you mean, what do you mean? Like I asked you're the avatar of what!"

Frustrated Korra just yelled. "Are you stupid or something I said I'm the Avatar you know master of all four elements!" except for one at the moment.

"Congratulations" Naruto said sarcastically without an ounce of being impressed. "That still doesn't answer my question, the avatar of what!"

"I…..am….the…..avatar!" she said saying every word as slowly and clearly as possible as if speaking to a child. "I'm the one who will bring peace and balance to the world! Champion of the people and all the spirits that walk this land!" Korra screamed not caring in the slightest that the snow was started to fall faster as the sun was nearly gone.

Naruto still without a jacket and only his chainmail shirt ignored the environment as well. "I didn't ask what you do for a living, lady! I want to know what the hell are you the avatar of."

"I just told you!"

"No you didn't! I may not be all that smart but I know that an avatar is the human form of a god, a spirit or even a place!"

"Oh" Korra shifted her head down thought for a second and then fired back. "I'm the bridge between this world and the spirit world." She said running out of titles that would clarify who she was as Naruto was really pressing her on.

"Finally! Ok so you're the human form of a portal then!" Naruto said hopefully only to look startled again. "Wait does your species call yourself human?" he asked.

"What are you talking about of course I'm human! You know you're really starting to weird me out."

Naruto rubbed his temples. "Ok you know what I'm starting to few low on power again let's just keep moving until we can get to a safer place or something." He said whipping a few specks of sweat as for some reason he was starting to feel a little warmer.

Korra sighed and agreed as her own fatigue was starting to overtake her. "Alright Republic City's not too far from here look." Korra pointed over to the horizon were the scenery began to change from the outdoors to more of settled area with a few building here and there that lead to the great metropolis. "If you can get us there I can call Tenzin to take us to Air Temple Island."

Naruto perked up at the mention of their final destination. "Ok a temple sounds good. They usually help out travelers in times of need, let's go."

The ninja was about to pick up Korra again but the girl hesitated. "Just tell me on thing, what happened to your arm, did you lose it trying to save me."

Naruto looked at said arm and over to the city. "You say me handle those clowns. No it was something else, something much more deadly."

Korra didn't press on the ominous tone that her rescuer had taken. She walked over and allowed him to hold her around the waist again so they could take off. "Just so you know I could have freed myself from that situation." She said not letting her pride falter even for a second.

"I know!" Naruto said back with a giant smile on his face. "But I just saved you the trouble, now let's go."

Line Break

High above the eliminated city the Airbending Master, Tenzin was sitting on top of his flying air bison companion Oogi as he desperately tried to search for his missing pupil.

He was aided in his search by the Police Chief and his former lover, the Metalbender Lin Beifong. Along with them were Korra's friends the Pro Bending brothers Mako, and Bolin as well as the heiress Asami Sato.

All five of them were seated on different sides of Oogi's saddle as they all surveyed the area in hopes of finding the lost Avatar.

"I think I see her!" Bolin the younger Earthbending brother cried out getting everyone's attention.

"Were?" Mako asked as he slide up to his sibling look around furiously at were Bo had seen her.

"She was right there!" Bolin stated pointing over towards the ground. "I saw someone carrying her as he was leaping up in the air and over a building!" feeling all eyes were on him instead of where he was pointing he saw that everyone was giving him a look of doubt mixed with sarcasm.

"Bolin we've been searching for a while maybe you should take a break." Mako placed his hand on Bolin's shoulder.

The Earthbender just shook it off. "I'm not tried! I saw Korra being carried off my some guy with yellow hair jumping around with her!"

"Bolin, Mako is right you should take a break." Tenzin suggested as he focused straight a ahead. "We are all worried about Korra, but if we continue on were all going to start to see things that defy logic. Think about it given our altitude the only kind of human who could jump so high that we could see them would be an Airbender. And since that last time I check there weren't any Airbenders outside my family let alone one with yellow hair, then the only rational explanation is…"

But before the master of air could complete is thesis on sanity a yellow haired young man carrying a sleeping Avatar Korra leaped right across from them from port to starboard as he was about to land on a nearby building.

"Korra!" Mako cried out as he saw the girl who he had mixed feelings about being carried off by a mysterious stranger.

Naruto caught Mako's outcry and stopped his pace, as he stood on the side of the building. He cut of flow from the structure and landed safely on the ground.

Tenzin commanded Oogi to the same as Mako followed by Bolin and then Asami hoped off the gentle beast and headed over towards the Avatar.

"What was that about logic, Tenzin?" Lin asked as she stayed behind not missing an opportunity to point out when her X was wrong about something.

Tenzin coughed in his fist as his cheek tinted in embarrassment only for him to look back at her. "Who was that carrying her?"

Lin's playfulness left as she realized that Bolin was indeed right about the jumping yellow hair. So she bolted off Oogi and headed over as well.

Naruto saw the group approach him but didn't shift in any way to defend himself. He could feel no malice or wickedness coming off from any of them.

As Mako come over Naruto let go of his hold on Korra and gently tried to get her awake, she had fallen asleep earlier when they entered the city. Shaking her a bit the Avatar stirred a bit as she opened her eyes and saw the look on her friend's face.

"Oh, hey Mako." Korra whispered lightly. "Did you miss me?" she asked as the Firebender lifted her up and carried her in his arms.

"Yeah I did I'm just glad you're with us again." Mako looked directly at Naruto and said. "Thank you" as he carried the girl over to the bison. He felt his heart begin to skip when Korra leaned her head against his chest and rested on his bosom.

Watching Korra being carried off Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he let out a sigh. "Just great I help out a cute girl and it turns out she has a boyfriend, typical." The ninja stopped rubbing his head when he saw the other dark haired boy looking at him the same way Korra had when she saw his arm which was what he was looking at right now.

Playing it close to the vest Naruto just scratched the burned flesh around his numb nonchalantly "Is something wrong?" he asked despite knowing what the other guy was going to say.

"Wh…what happened to your arm?" he asked making Naruto just roll his eyes. He didn't want to go into it not before he could get some rest as he was trying to fight of a spell of double vison.

Playing it cool the ninja replied. "Oh this it's noting I just got a little wild and paid the price, it's just a scratch."

"Just a scratch! Your arm looks like it was burned off!" Bolin yelled with his eyes opened wipe open as he ran his hands though his hair.

"It wasn't burned off. I just had Korra close it up with her flames when it started bleeding again it's no big…" it was then Naruto had finally burned out as he lost all equilibrium and almost fell to the ground if someone hadn't caught him on time.

Naruto saw that his savoir had been the other girl who had ran up to him. A young woman dressed in black and red suit with dark bouncy hair and emerald eyes. What the orange ninja noticed the most of the young woman was her lips, they were red like crimson.

Naruto looked at the young lady and couldn't help but smile. "And who are you?" he asked trying really hard not to sound like cheese.

The young lady who had his only good arm hung over her shoulder smiled. "Asami Sato, I'mMako's girlfriend." She said the last part with a little more force as in to state the fact.

And by the way she said Naruto could tell that Mako guy was definitely not having a harem kind of relation going on for him, or at least Naruto hoped he didn't.

"Don't take this the wrong way but you might want to remind him that." Naruto used his chin to point over were Mako had set Korra gently on the flying beast's saddle.

"Tell me about it!" Naruto heard a harsh whisper enter his right ear. Looking over he saw the other boy gently lifting his injured limb as he placed Naruto's bicep over his shoulder. He stopped giving Mako the stink eye as he introduced himself as well. "I'm Bolin by the way."

Naruto smiled wearily. "Nice to meet you I'm…." but before he could introduce himself he was interrupted by Tenzin, and Lin.

"Young man I cannot thank you enough for what you did for Korra if there's anything I can do…"

Naruto returned the favor by waving his hand in order to stop the master from continuing. "It's pretty cold out and I'm kind of under dressed. Could I borrow your cape?"

"Oh, yes you must be freezing!" Tenzin reached up to his neck and unclasped the pin that held his mantle around his back as he twirled off of himself and over on Naruto.

Bolin and Asami help Naruto by fashioning the garment around the the ninja's torso in an effort to cover him up.

"Thank you" Naruto bowed his head a little in gratitude "like I was saying before my name is…."

"Where's Tarrlok?" another voice demanded interrupting the ninja yet again.

Naruto let out an irritated moan as Police Chief Beifong pressed on with her question. "And how exactly were you able to free that Avatar from his Bloodbending?"

Feeling like he was at the end of his rope which for all intensive purposes he was. "Look lady I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'm pretty sure I'm running a low grade fever and despite my cheerful attitude I'm still pretty mad that I lost this!" he illustrated what this meant by waving his disabled arm.

Lin and Tenzin both looked at each other before giving the yellow haired trouble maker a sympathetic look.

"And to top it all off today happens to be also be my birthday so you can imagine why I might want to hold off answering whatever questions you have for the movement. But if it's not too much trouble can ask me whatever it is you want to know after you guys can take me some where I can get patched up." Looking sternly he eased up his face as he felt all this unloading was making him look a little like he was brooding, and if there was one thing that peeved him the most in life it was brooding so he added. "Please?"

"Of course you're more than welcome to come back with us to Air Temple Island." Tenzin stated as he extended an invitation to his home.

Naruto gave small small and said thanks as his two helpers assisted him over towards Oogi.

"So….." Bolin dragged out "We didn't really catch your name."

Naruto lifted himself up by pressing down on Asami and Bolin's shoulders. He looked from his left, then to the right, and back to his left.

"Is something wrong?" Asami asked fearing that their might be an imminent threat in the area.

"No, I just wanted to make sure nobody would interrupt me again." The ninja smiled cheekily. "My names Naruto Uzumaki."

Bolin and Asami both smiled back only to look back at Naruto in empathy. "Is it really your birthday?" the both of them asked in unison.

"Yeah, but the sad thing is this isn't the worst one I've had yet."
