I'm back! If any of you are wondering, yes I did in fact change my name. Why? Because I can so deal with it. You may be wondering why the fuck am I starting a new story when I have two other waiting to be updated. Lets just say that after writing a few chapters ahead and then having those chapter mysteriously disappear, you lose motivation to write them all over.

This story was something that I had for a long time and I wrote it but I told myself that no one would like it so I scrapped it. No sure if any of you like it but it may just be one chapter or I may continue it.

I have written a lot of chapters for many crossovers and I may post them to see what you guys think but for now this is all you get.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or The Avatar. It sucks writing that every single time.


Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.

A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe.

Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow the Avatar will return to save the world.

Book 1: Water

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Two

In the middle of an icy water floated a canoe carrying two people. A young teenage boy with a ponytail holding a spear was carefully watching the water. He was waiting for a fish to fall into a perfect position so he could strike it. On the other side of the canoe sat a girl who looked on in amusement. Her brother didn't allow her to help because he always felt that a man should bring the food home.

Sokka noticed a fish about to resurface the water, "This time you're mine. Watch and learn Katara. You're about to see how a real man catches a fish." He was honestly getting real sick of coming out here.

Katara wasn't one to pay attention to her brother so she decided to do it her own way. She took off her gloves and slowly bended the water. A globe of water containing a fish came out of the water, "Sokka Look!" Her waterbending wasn't the best but she practiced when she could to make sure that she was at least decent at it.

Sokka noticed the fish was getting a bit spooked by her sisters loud voice, "Shhh! Katara you're scaring it."

She didn't hear his words because she was proud of herself for catching one. She noticed that the ball of water was suddenly losing its shape. She struggled to control it but it was all too late as it burst, "Ah! No!"

Sokka sighed when he felt the water splash all over him, "Why is it always me? Why am I always the victim when you decide to do your little magic." This wasn't the first time that he had gotten wet when she waterbending. In fact, he was always the one to get wet. Even when he was nowhere near her, he somehow always got wet.

Katara crossed her arms, "It's not magic. It's waterbe-"

"Yeah, Yeah, an ancient culture blah blah blah. I heard it all before. Just please keep your powers to yourself." He heard the same thing so many times that he had memorized the whole speech on how great it was.

Suddenly the boat began to move around and they noticed that the icebergs were starting to get really close to the canoe. Sokka was quick to react and began rowing as fast as he could. The further that he rowed the more icebergs appeared and he was starting to get scared at what may happen.

Katara saw a quick opening, "Quick! Go Left! Left!" She quickly held onto her brother when he went the opposite direction.

Sokka was panicking at this point because he was actually doubting that they would make it. The Icebergs were getting closer and closer every time they avoided one. After being able to avoid some, three Icebergs blocked them and began to crush the canoe. Sokka grabbed Katara and jumped off the canoe to a nearby iceberg.

They both laid there for a few seconds before Katara spoke up, "You call that left?"

"Don't like my steering? Well maybe you should've used your waterbending to get us out." They honestly wouldn't be in this situation if she helps out there.

"Oh so now this is my fault?" She was starting to get really frustrated towards Sokka.

Sokka scratched his head in frustration, "I knew I should've left you home. Leave it to a girl to screw things up."

That was the final straw for Katara, "Are you serious!" She began to wave her arms back in anger, "You are the most sexist, immature…" The water behind Katara started to splash around.

As she continued ranting Sokka notices the iceberg behind her begin to crack, "Um, Katara…"

"No, that's it. From now on your on your own!" A crack behind her suddenly caught her attention.

As she turned, the iceberg behind her slits open entirely. It caused huge waves that pushed them back. They held on to the ice berg desperately trying their best not to fall off. After a few seconds the waters calm down and they were drifting once again.

Katara looked on in amazement, "I did that?"

"Seriously? That's what you're worried about?" They almost died but all she worries is about whether she split an iceberg. He could've died there…

They noticed that a blue light begins to glow under the water. The poked their heads out to try to make of what the light is. The light began to get brighter. Seconds later The unknown source of the light began to surface. A huge glowing sphere of ice came out of the water.

Katara squinted her eyes to try to make sense of the glowing iceberg. She noticed that a figure was the source of the glow. Its eyes suddenly opened causing Katara to take action, "There's someone in there!" She takes Sokka's club and begins head towards the iceberg.

Sokka followed her, "Katara wait! What if it's dangerous?" These are one of the many reasons he hates going out with her.

She ignored his warning and continued. After skipping a few icebergs she finally arrived at the one where the boy was trapped in. She quickly begins to pound the ice with the spear. After a few whacks, the icebergs begins to crack open. Air was suddenly released out and then a bright blue light shot out into the sky.

(Somewhere miles away)

Miles away was an Iron hulled battleship carefully sailing down the icy waters. A man stood and stared at the lights. His attire consisted of a red armour worn only by the fire nation. His head was almost all shaved, all except a ponytail. His most noticeable feature was the red scar on his left eye. This teenager was known by many as prince Zuko, "Uncle do you know what this means?"

An old man sat down looking at his game, 'Here we go again.' He was tired of hearing that phrase at this point, "It means I won't get to finish my game?"

"No, It means that my search is finally over." All this time searching would finally come to an end.

Iroh groaned, "Don't get your hopes up so Zuko. We've been down this road before." He quickly took a sip of his tea, "Now come and enjoy a cup of calming tea."

Zuko erupted in anger, "I Don't need any calming jasmine tea! Helmsman, head a course for that light!"

He wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away from him. It was finally time he had a chat with the Avatar.

XxX

Sokka protected Katara from the light and was ready incase anything happened. The light continued to shine until a boy appeared. The arrows on his body were still glowing. Sokka pointed his spear at the boy, "Stop!"

The arrows stopped glowing and he began to fall forward. Katara ran towards the boy and caught him. She turns him over and gently laid him on his back. She noticed that the boy's eyes were slowly opening.

The bald boy smiled at the sight of Katara, "I need to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Please… Come closer."

Katara carefully got closer, "What is it?"

"Will you go penguin sledding with me?"

Katara was a bit taken back by the sudden burst of energy, "Uh… sure, I guess."

He used his airbending to lift himself to his feet. Sokka was still suspicious that he could be an enemy. He walked over to him and began to poke him, "Why aren't you frozen?" Sokka had been observing Aang and was actually amazed that the kid was still alive. No normal person could survive being frozen especially at the bottom of below zero waters.

He pushed Sokka's spear away, "I'm not sure." He was just as lost as any of them.

A low growl is heard behind the young airbender, "Appa!" He quickly pushes himself into the ice crater. As he hops over he sees a giant furry creature, "I'm so glad you're okay."

"What is that thing?" He has never seen something like that out here.

The boy continued to pat the furry beast, "This is Appa, my flying bison."

Sokka had a real hard time believing that, "And this is Katara my flying sister." Before the bald monk had a chance to respond Appa begins sneezes and gets snot it all over Sokka, "Why is it always me!?"

This was officially the worst day of his life.

Katara walked over, "Sorry about my brother he's a bit paranoid. By the way you never told us your name."

"Oh, my name is A… ahhhhh… ahhhh… ah ah ACHOOOO!" The sneeze cause him to fly ten feet into the air. The two sibling stood there in shock until he landed on the ground, "I'm Aang."

Both Sokka and Katara stood still with their mouths wide opened. Sokka pointed at Aang, "You just sneezed… and flew ten feet in the air. That's not normal."

A huge smile appeared on Katara's face, "You're an airbender!"

"Sure am." It honestly wasn't a big deal. Other kids at the air temple sneezed higher than that.

Sokka watched the two have a conversation and sighted, "I just want to go home and eat."

When he went out this morning he was expecting to just get some fish to eat. Who was he to believe that he would stumble upon a bald kid and his pet bison. It honestly couldn't get any worse than this.

Looking around, Sokka noticed a figure behind Appa, "Hey Katara. Come check this out." They all walk over to the figure that laid on the snow. He looked no older than thirteen. He was dressed in a black long sleeve shirt and black pants. He also had black boots to match. Bandages were wrapped around both his wrist. He had blond spiky hair and three whisker marks on his cheeks.

Katara went over to the mysterious boy to check on him, "Looks like he's okay." She turned towards Aang, "Do you know who this is?"

Aang shook his head, "I don't know. I didn't even know he was there until now." It was just him and Appa. He didn't remember anyone else being with him.

Sokka flipped the boy over to make sure he won't attack them while their backs were turned, "Looks like he's still unconscious. You sure he's not with you?"

Aang shook his head, "I swear, I don't know who he is."

Katara crossed her arms, "Let's get him back to the village. We can't just leave him out here." She wasn't the kind of person to leave someone helpless out here to die.

"Are you crazy! We can't just let strangers back to our village." He wouldn't allow random people they just met into his village. They both stared at each other for a few seconds before Sokka sighed, "Fine! But one wrong move and their out!"

Katara smiled at her brother. He may be strict but she knew he was still a softy at heart, "Hey Aang, you think Appa could give us a lift?"

Aang smiled at the girl and used his airbending to get on top of Appa, "Sure get on."

After securing the boy on Appa, they were all ready to go, "Alright, here we go. Appa, yip yip!" Appa rumbles and jumps off the ice berg. For a few short seconds he was in the air but then began to fall into the water.

Sokka crossed his arms and began to speak in sarcasm, "Wow, this is so amazing."

Aang chuckled nervously, "He's just tired. Once he's all rested he'll be able to fly in no time."

XxX

"Ahhhhh!"

Aang looked at his surrounding to make sure that he was in a safe place. The flashback from when he ran away from the temple came back to him. He honestly didn't want to remember that. He sighed and looked at his hands. Why did it have to be him? He didn't ask for this.

"What a way to wake up."

Aang looked to his left and saw the boy that they had found next to him. He was currently shirtless and had bandages wrapped around his stomach. Katara must have patched him up when he was out.

They boy in question sat crossed leg a next to him, "So, what were you doing out there by yourself?"

Aang was confused by the question because he had no idea what he was talking about, "Huh?"

The blond boy sighed and smiled, "Listen I don't know where I am or what's going on but I'm glad you're safe." He patted Aang's back, "Name's Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto."

Glad he was safe? Aang was completely lost at what he was saying, "What ar-"

"Aang! Wake up!" Katara poked her head inside and noticed that they were both up, "Oh, You're up too. Well, get ready and come outside. Everyone wants to meet you two."

Naruto waved at her and gave her a grin, "Well be out in a second."

Katara wasn't expecting an answer from him so she simply smiled back and left. Naruto stood up and put on his black long sleeve shirt. He took a green necklace out of his pocket and put it over his head. He took a deep breathe and began to walk out.

Before he opened the curtain he noticed Aang was looking at him, "You better hurry monk boy, your girlfriends waiting for you."

"She's not my girlfriend."

Naruto chuckled, "Just hurry up and get ready."

After stepping outside, Naruto blocked the sun with his hands. It was so bright and really cold. He took a look at his surroundings and realized that there was snow everywhere . Well, Now he's was sure he wasn't in the fire nation territory. Aang came out of the hut and and noticed how all the villagers were staring at him.

"Uh… what's going on?"

Naruto was still trying to guess where he was, "Beats me kid. I'm just as lost as you."

An old woman suddenly walked in front of the group, "No one has seen an airbender in a hundred years and everyone thought that they were extinct."

How could they be extinct? He must have been out for a week or so, "Extinct?"

Katara noticed how nervous he was getting, "Aang and…"

"Naruto."

"Aang and Naruto this is my grandmother."

The old woman spoke once more, "Just call me gran gran."

Naruto whistled as he looked around, "Small village you got here. Where are we by the way?" Finding his location was more important at the moment.

Sokka walked in front of Naruto and poke him with his club, "You're in the southern water tribe so don't go doing anything funny."

"Don't worry I'm harmless." He observed Sokka for a few seconds, "Let me guess you're one of the last warriors in this village."

Sokka stared at him in shock, "How do you know?"

Naruto scratched his head, "Since the village is so small and I see no male adults around they are either hunting or they left to go somewhere."

Sokka had a sad look for a few seconds before going back to normal, "It's none of your business." He then stomped away with an annoyed expression.

Naruto didn't know it was a sensitive topic. He hoped he was okay. As he was looking around he noticed that some things weren't adding up. How could they get this far out when they weren't even that close to the southern water tribe.

Katara walked up to Naruto, "I'm sorry about him." She knew why Sokka was very upset and it bugged her to see him like this.

Naruto just smiled at her, "Don't worry, I must have hit a sensitive topic." He honestly didn't mean to say anything hurtful, "So tell me Katara, what can I do to find a boat around here?"

"You already want to leave?" Hes hasn't even been here that long and already wants to leave.

Naruto began to stroke some of his hair, "Sorry but I had to be somewhere before the whole iceberg incident and they are going to be pissed at at me if I don't show."

Naruto honestly didn't want to leave because they were kind enough to allow him into their small village. He would stay here for a while if he didn't have anything to do.

Katara shook her head, "I understand but the canoe that we had was one of our last one and it would take a while before we can make another one."

Naruto sucked on his teeth, change of plans, "It's fine, I'll manage somehow. In the meantime you don't mind if I stay here for a day or two."

"Stay as long as you like." She smiled at him and walked off in Aang's direction.

After a few hours, Naruto got really bored. The village was nice and the people were pretty cool about him being an outsider. His reputation went up after he decided to go fishing. He brought them week's worth of fish. If he was going to be here for a while he might as well make the best of it.

He saw Sokka sitting by a wall and sharpening his spear. Naruto kinda felt bad for bringing such a sensitive topic so he walked over him to apologize, "Hey Sokka."

Sokka looked up and noticed Naruto offering him cooked fish on a stick, "Hey and thanks." he took a bite out of it and was shocked on how good it tasted, "Woah, this Is delicious!"

Naruto watched in horror as Sokka devoured the fish, "Well my cooking isn't the best but I do try." Sokka stared at Naruto's fish on a stick and began to drool, "You can have it."

Sokka took it without a second thought and proceeded to eat it, "Sorry about that. I haven't eaten in awhile."

Naruto sat next to him, "Care to say why?"

Sokka rubbed his head, "Just a bit stressed out."

Naruto understood what he meant, "Sorry about before. I didn't know that was a sensitive topic."

Sokka sighted. He knew Naruto meant no harm in what he said it just annoyed him that he was truly the only left to protect the village, "It's fine. The truth just kind of hurts. Being left behind really sucks."

"Where are they anyways. How could they just leave you guys like this by yourself?" How can anyone leave their home and let them to fend off for themselves?

"They went to join the war." Sokka stopped sharpening his spear and set it down, "They didn't want to take me because I was so young."

His father was their tribe leader and once it was time to leave he wanted to go with them. He wanted to be out there helping those in need instead of just sitting here. The last thing his dad told him was to protect the village while he was away.

"War? What war?" He had no knowledge of any war.

(With Aang and Katara)

After Aang and Katara finished their penguin sledding race then ventured off and Aang discovered a ship that was trapped inside the ice. The nose end of the boat was sticking upwards to the sky. It seemed like it was there for a really long time.

Aang was very curious of the ship and decided to explore it. Katara had tried her best to not go in but Aang insisted that if she ever wanted to become a good bender then she had to let go of the fear that's holding her back. Her gran gran had insisted that they never go near that ship because of the dangers that it would hold. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

As they walked around the ship Aang noticed the creepy vibe that the ship was giving him, "This ship sure gives off a creepy feeling."

Katara nodded her head in agreement, "This ship has haunted my tribe since gran gran was a little girl." It had been here for a really long time time, "It part of the fire nation's first attack."

Aang stopped on his tracks and turned to her, "Okay, hold on for a second." Why did they keep talking about a war?, "I have friends from all over the world, even in the fire nation. I have never heard or seen any war."

Katara looked at Aang with wide eyes, "Wait… Aang how long were and Naruto in that iceberg?"

Aang looked at the floor unsure, "I don't know… a few days maybe. A week at most."

Katara paced around for a few seconds to try to come up the best way to explain it to him, "Aang, what if you weren't stuck in there for a few days. I feel like it's more than a hundred years."

XxX

No. No fucking way. That can't be fucking true, "You mean I was fucking frozen for a hundred damn years!"

Sokka looked at Naruto like he was crazy, "Seriously, what is with you two? First Aang and now you. The war. You didn't know it's been going on for a hundred years." The war was common knowledge. Everyone knew the dangers and fear that the fire lord brought upon the nations.

Naruto looked at the sky, "Damn, this is what I get for trying to save a drowning kid and his pet."

Drowning kid?, "You mean Aang?"

Naruto nodded his head, "Yea. I had decided to take a boat to my destination and choose to fish on the way there. The next thing I knew a storm hit and was fighting for my life. I saw someone falling from the sky. I immediately jumped in to save him."

"So what happened next?" This was getting a bit interesting.

"As I got closer he began to glow and trapped me with him in a ball of ice. I wasn't expecting it so I couldn't react in time." Because of this incident he missed the appointment that he had. He was late, one hundred years late.

Sokka patted the Naruto in the back, "Harsh but don't worry i'm sure you'll find something out here." It must have been really frightening waking up a century in the future. He himself wouldn't know what to do or how to react. Naruto was taking it well for someone in his situation, "Listen, I was suspicious about you two at first but that's because I'm the only one in this village so you have to understand.

Naruto smiled at him, "Don't worry Sokka, I get where you're coming from. I can see how small your village is and how much you care for it." The village had no one to protect it and in case of an attack they would be screwed.

Sokka was the only warrior in the village and that wouldn't be enough to protect anyone. Naruto wasn't underestimating Sokka, not one bit. He just knew that if anyone wanted to take the small village, it wouldn't stand a chance against a huge attack. He just hoped nothing would happened in the time that he was here.
"So what's your plan now?"

Naruto held onto his legs and held them tightly, "I'm honestly not sure."

He was in the future and he had no common knowledge of anything that was going on. His first step was to gather information on the current year. He needed to know what had changed. All his information gatherers were long gone and probably thought that he had died.

He was back to step one. It took him thirteen years of his life to get to the position that he had and it was all thrown away in an instant. Did he regret trying to save Aang? No, it went against everything that he lived for. If he had the power to save people then he gladly would.

Something quickly caught Naruto's attention, "Uh Sokka?"

"Yea?"

"What is that?"

Sokka turned to where Naruto was pointing and noticed a flare up in the sky. He knew what that flare was and it was not good news, "Uh oh… "

"Uh oh? What do you mean oh oh?" That didn't sound good the way Sokka said it. This meant trouble.

"Uh oh as in that's a fire nation ship flare. That means that Aang did something and dragged my sister into it."

"C'mon Sokka, Just because of a flare in the sky doesn't mean Aang's involved." What could a bald twelve year old possibly have to do with a fire nation ship?

"You don't understand. There was a ship frozen in ice and it's forbidden to not go anywhere near it."

All the villagers got near the entrance of the village after seeing the flare. In the distance two figures appeared. Aang and Katara both walked side by side towards the village. The children saw Aang and immediately ran towards him.

"Yay, Aang's back!"

Sokka didn't share the same excitement as the kids, "You! I knew it! You were the one that signaled the fire navy with the flare! Your leading them right towards us!"

Naruto moved in between Aang and Sokka, "Calm down Sokka. There probably weren't even near the ship." Naruto paused for a few seconds before turning towards the two, "You weren't near that fire nation ship right?"

Aang looked away and began to whistle. Katara looked the down to hide her face. Naruto slapped his face, "Why do I even try? Sokka, this one's yours."

Gran gran wasn't happy about their decision making skills, "Katara you shouldn't have gone on that ship. We could all be in danger."

Sokka pointed at Gran gran in a dramatic fashion, "See! Even she agrees."

Aang noticed that the situations was starting to get out of hand, "Stop it. It wasn't her fault. It was mine."

Sokka wiggled his arms in the air, "Ah ha! So the traitor confesses! Warriors, away from the enemy!" The kids all looked sad and walked back to the village, "You are now banned from this village."

Naruto decided to step into the conversation once again, "Woah, woah there." all the attention was now put on him, "Sokka I get that you're mad but is that really the best answer."

"Of course it is! Thanks to him the fire nation ship may be coming towards us. Its his fault that we might get attacked." He wasn't taking a traitor in. Thanks to him his people might die.

Katara wasn't letting anyone talk about Aang like that, "Sokka leave him alone! If your banishing him then I might as well go too."

"No Katara. I'm not letting you get kicked out of your home because of me." He didn't want her to get in trouble because of his doing.

Naruto sighed, now this situation was definitely getting out of hand, "Okay listen up! Nobody is getting banished." Everyone turned to him, "Listen Sokka, what are you going to do if the village does get attacked."

"I'm going to protect it of course." There wasn't any other option.

"With what?"

"I'm going to use my spear and defeat every single one of them." Sokka crossed his arms and had a confident grin on his face.

Naruto didn't say a word for a while. If was pure silence between the four of them. The villagers all looked at the four with a questioning look on their faces. They had no idea why it suddenly went quiet.

Sokka opened one eye to see why it suddenly got so quiet. Everyone was currently staring at him, "What?" He then thought about it for a second before realization hit him, "Oh… "

Naruto rolled his eyes at him, "Yea 'oh'. It's better to have an airbender and a waterbender having your back then you going at it by yourself. I get that you're mad but don't let that cloud your decision making."

Sokka sighed in defeat, "You're right." He hated to admit it but Naruto was right. He had to do what was best for the village and having Aang would really help, "He can stay but afterwards he has to leave."

Katara smiled at Sokka, "Oh Sokka." She ran up to him and hugged him.

Naruto stood next to Aang, "How come I don't get a hug?" It was his idea.

Aang shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay okay that's enough." Sokka pushed Katara off him, "We still have a situation on our hands. The fire nation might be on their way as we speak so we need to prepare. Aang, sorry about before but we could really use your help."

Aang nodded his head, "I will help as much as I can." Aang held no grudge against Sokka at all. He understood what Sokka had to do to protect the village.

Now that they had two benders he was sure they could hold him off, "Everyone get ready for battle."

The villagers heard him screaming and began to go inside their huts. They knew that they couldn't be much help so the best thing to do was hope for the best. Sokka was the only one capable of fighting. Sokka ran into his tent to get ready for the battle that laid ahead. Katara went around making sure that everyone was inside.

Both Naruto and Aang just stood in the middle of the village not really sure of what to do. They were outsiders so the best thing that they could do was wait for the battle to begin. They were only there to help protect the village. Naruto didn't have any of his weapons because they were all in the boat that he had left. They were one hundred years long gone. The only thing that he had were his two short swords that he always kept with him.

Naruto looked at his two blades and sighted, "All my stuff… " Anime tears came out of his eyes.

Aang looked at Naruto, "Why are you crying?"

Naruto glared at the airbender, "Seems that all my stuff is gone after trying to save a certain someone from death."

Aang cringed at the way he worded that, "Sorry about that."

Naruto sighed in defeat and shook his head, "It's not your fault. The whole one hundred years thing can really weigh on you."

Honestly who can wake up one day and find out their in the future and be totally okay with it. He had no knowledge of what went in those past hundred years and to add to that there was a freaking war going on. That made things even more complicated than they needed to be. It was a good thing that he didn't have any friends or family that were worried.

Aang nodded his head in agreement, "I know what you mean. Everything is so much more different than before. By the way what were you doing before all of this?" He was actually curious what Naruto did before he was frozen along with him. By the looks of the blades that he had he must have been some sort of warrior.

Naruto smiled at the question, "Oh well I was on my way to-"

"Are you two ready?"

Both Naruto and Aang turned and looked at Sokka. They both stared for a few seconds, "Pff!"

A tic mark appeared on Sokka's head, "What's so funny!"

Aang had his hand on his mouth to cover his laugh, "Whats with the make up?"

Sokka eye twitched, "Make up? It's war paint! War Paint!"

Naruto joined in on the fun, "Seems like Sokka was getting ready for his war date." The two burst out laughing.

Sokka gritted his teeth and stomped away, "Forget it. Just be ready."

After all the preparation was done and everyone was safe they all got into position. Sokka was on top of the snow wall and looked out into the sea to see if anything was visible. Everyone else just stood below and just watched and waited.

Naruto squinted his eyes, "Why is he up there?" Naruto was sure that it wasn't safe to be up there.

Aang shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe he's nearsighted and needs to move closer." All Aang got in a response was a chuckle from Naruto.

The ground suddenly began to shake. Sokka stood his ground and waited for something to appear. A shadow of the ship appeared and it was much bigger than Sokka thought. He was hoping for something smaller. He opened his mouth in pure shock. Fear took over as he continued to stand his ground. The ship tore the wall in half and was able to split the village before coming into a full stop.

Sokka noticed how close the ship was to him and ran back to where everyone was. He got into his fighting stance and prepared himself for whatever came out of that ship. All the villages who were curious came out of the huts and looked in shock at what was before them.

Steam came out of the nose of the ship and opened up. Seven men came walked down the nose, each wearing fire nation amour. The one in front of all of them was prince Zuko himself.

Sokka charged at him without a second though, "Ahhh!"

Before his weapon hit anything, it was kicked from out of his hands. Sokka stared at the man in shock. Zuko glared at him and kicked him in the side of his face. Sokka was tossed to the side with his head being buried in the snow.

Naruto looked around and realized that everyone was frozen in fear. The fire nation has sure changed in the last 100 years because these guys were brutal, "Who are you and what do you want?"

Zuko looked at the blond and began to speak, "I am prince Zuko and I demand you tell me when he is?" All the villagers looked at each other in confusion.

Naruto stepped forward, "Who exactly are you looking for?"

Zuko was starting to get agitated, "Where is the avatar!? I know you have him here!"
"He isnt here. I can promise you that." Why would the avatar be here? The airbenders were… ah. Naruto grin to himself. So he's the avatar huh?. Naruto suddenly started to laugh out loud.

Zuko a bit surprised by the sudden laugh, "Stop laughing! Where is he!?"

Naruto wasn't one that like being ordered around. His grin immediately disappeared and his face turned serious, "Okay listen here, two things will happen in the next few minutes. I'm going to kick your ass and I'm going to make sure you guys leave."

Zuko walked closer to the crowd of people, "Is that a challenge?" Daggers made out of fire formed in Zuko's hand, "I Don't want to hurt a child."

Naruto got in his stance and smirked, "Trust me kiddo, I'm way older than I look." Naruto turned towards Aang, "Watch my back." Aang nodded and got his staff ready in case he needed to make his move.

Zuko shot a few fireballs to get the match started. Naruto got began to side step and move slowly like he was a leaf in being blown by the wind. All the fireballs missed him and were headed straight towards the villagers. Aang got in front of them and spun his staff to repel the attack.

Naruto charged at Zuko at high speeds and slid on the snow as soon as Zuko extended his arm to shot another fireball. Before Zuko had anytime to react he was kicked in the chin from below and was tossed in the air.

A few seconds later Zuko landed on the floor butt up, "Is that the best you got fire prince?" Naruto wasn't impressed with the so called prince. He expected him to react to his move but seemed like Zuko wasn't much of a threat.

All the guards formed a line in front of Zuko to try to protect him. Their weren't going to let their captain be humiliated like that.

"Stop!"

The guards turned around and noticed that Zuko had stood up on his feet, "Don't interfere with the match." Zuko knew the mission was to retrieve the Avatar but he also knew that a duel was between two people. The moment others got involved he would lose. His honor was stolen from him but he at least had some pride in himself.

Aang had noticed that the match was getting out of hand. It bugged him because he was the prime reason all of this was happening. The villagers were all scared at what was happening before them. He didn't want others to be hurt because of him.

Naruto began to run once again towards Zuko but was stopped when and flew in the middle of them both, "Stop! If you want the Avatar then you can have him. As long as you leave this village alone I will come with you!"

Zuko nodded at the request of the young airbender. He then stared at the blond behind Aang and gave him a glare, "Capture the blond one as well."

Aang turned to to Naruto with a frown. He didn't mean to get him involved in all of this but he hoped he would comply. Naruto looked at Aang and noticed his pleading look. He sighed and put his weapons behind his back. The villagers watched in awe as his weapons disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sokka had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines and he was smart enough to not get in between both of them. As long as they left he knew that his mission was complete. He hated to say this but it was a small sacrifice to let his people live.

Naruto walked over to Sokka and put his hands on the his shoulders, "Looks like my ride out of here has arrived. It's nice knowing you Sokka. Take care of yourself and your sister. Make sure Aang's PET doesn't run away by himself."

As Naruto walked away Sokka gave him a blank look. That was odd. He didn't think they bonded enough to be considered friends. And what about Appa? He watched on as the guards held Aang and Naruto and led them inside the ship.

Katara didn't like how they just gave up so easily, "Wait." Her words did reach any of their ears as the ship closed up and began to move back.

XxX

(On Zuko's ship)

All the guards were around both prisoners and were ready to take action if needed. Zuko was in front of them glaring a hole in the blond's face. Naruto wasn't really worried for his well being at all. The one thing he learn in life was to never fear any man. Unless they were benders, then you had a problem. He just wasn't one to be scared so easily and took things with ease.

"Nice ship you got here."

Zuko ignored the blond and looked towards his uncle, "A child. This this whole time I was looking for a child."

It was really humiliating that this whole time he was searching for a child. He prepared for the day that he would face the Avatar that at some point he may have gone insane. He was hoping for an old man with powers beyond belief.

Iroh just shrugged his shoulders. He was just as shocked as his nephew. How was he supposed to know that the Avatar was just a kid, "Don't look at me."

Zuko looked at his guards, "Take the Avatar and other one to the prison hold." Zuko walked away to let them do their thing.

"I have a name you know."

"And I don't care." Zuko began to walk away.

Naruto chuckled at the man. He loved to mess with people who thought so highly of himself and it seemed like Zuko would be his prime target.

Before they took Naruto downstairs, he noticed a table with a familiar, "Oh pai sho." Aang looked back at Naruto who just winked back.

"Wait!" The guards looked at Iroh, "Bring him over here."

One of the guards looked at the other in question. He shrugged his shoulders in response. They walked over to where Iroh was sitting. He was currently in a game of pai sho but was ruined after Zuko had changed course.

Iroh stroked his beards and smiled at the boy, "You play?"

Naruto smirk, "Of course." The guards untied him and let him sit. Naruto then began playing, "So what's got 'Prince' Zuko so grumpy?"

Iroh looked at the board to see what his next move would be, "Sorry about my nephew. He has been hunting for the Avatar for a really long time. Like he said, he may have gone mad at some point."

Naruto chuckled, "You really worry for him don't you?"

Iroh slowly nodded his head, " Well I am his uncle. I try my best to steer him to the right path." He quickly frowned at Naruto's move. He was in a tough situation.

Naruto noticed the man's expression, "You really need a poker face. I can tell how you're struggling." Naruto didn't need one because he was always smiling. You can never go wrong if you always have a smile on your face.

Iroh chuckled, "I guess I do. Look out!" He pointed up into the sky.

Naruto looked up and was very clear of what Iroh had done, "Sheesh old man I expected much from you but cheating, really?"

Iroh tried his best to look innocent, "What are you talking about? Hurry up it's your turn."

After a few minutes the began to go at it. All the guards were able to heard was the clank noise that the pieces made when they were placed on the board. The noises began to to go faster as both players began their final strike. Iroh noticed that Naruto was looking at him and not at the board.

'What an unusual boy.' Iroh had never seen anyone being able to play the game without looking at the board. He also never heard of anyone able to compete in his speed in the game either.

"It's my win. Nice game old man it was fun playing with you." Naruto heard a loud banging where Aang was just taken. He smirked and looked at Iroh, "You're a good man, names Naruto."

Iroh shook the young man's hand, "I'm Iroh and it was a pleasant game." he nodded towards the guards to take him to his prison cell.

Naruto put his hand on the table and shot both feet out to kick the two guards that were behind him. They both were kicked so hard that they fell overboard, "Sorry old man but change of plans."

Aang jumped out of the stairway that led downstairs and looked at Naruto, "Are you okay?"

Naruto nodded at the boy and pointed the direction where they had taken his staff. Aang ran off towards the directions and blew the door open to get inside.

Iroh looked at the blond, "I would suggest you surrender. I do not want to fight a fellow pai sho player."

Naruto smirked at the old man and kicked the table towards him. Iroh wasn't a man to joke around. He used his hand to chop up the table but quickly regretted it when the pai sho board was also cut in half. Immediately Iroh fell to his knees and began to apologize to it.

"Ah! I am so sorry."

Naruto took this opportunity to try to kick him in the face but his leg was grabbed by Iroh, "You think you can get an easy one on me that way?"

Naruto was a bit shocked at his quick reflex. He was sure that he was going to connect, "You sure are dangerous. You're not some regular old man I see." Naruto turned his body to try to kick him with his other leg but was also blocked by Iroh's free hand.

In a puff of smoke his weapons appeared and he tried to stab his stomach but quickly failed once again when Iroh used his fire to push himself back causing Naruto to be free from his grasp.

"It has seem that may have underestimated you." Iroh wasn't one to do that but he honestly didn't expect much from the blond in the beginning. Then again He didn't expect that the Avatar was just a child but look how that turned up.

Naruto through his one of his short swords at Iroh which was dodged by a simple head movement but was immediately shocked when it came back and cut his cheek Naruto reeled in the back his short sword by pulling on the trigger.

At the bottom of the handle was a trigger that allowed his to throw his sword and reel it back in with a some metal wires. It came in handy for time like this but he seemed to be struggling with Iroh for some odd reason. He didn't remember being this sluggish. Maybe being frozen for hundreds of years did that to your body.

Loud screaming was heard from the sky and Naruto saw Aang trying to glide his way out but it seemed that Zuko wasn't going to let him go. He held tightly to Aang's legs to make sure he wouldn't get away. The weight caused both Aang and Zuko to fall onto the deck of the ship. Aang was able to land next to naruto while Zuko next to Iroh.

"Seems like you battle isn't going that well, huh?"

Aang just shook in response. He was trying to regain his breath because getting shot at with fireballs isn't the best experience in the world. A loud growl was heard in the sky causing everyone to look at the sky for the source of the sound.

Naruto mouth opened in surprise when he saw the Appa flying, "Holy shit! He can actually fly!"

Aang's smile couldn't get any bigger when he saw his friends and Appa, "Appa!"

While both their attention were caught on Appa, Zuko took this chance to fire a few fireballs at them. Naruto noticed this and use his palm and blew the fire away. Aang was amazed that Naruto was able to deflect the fire without getting hurt.

They quickly noticed that they were surrounded by multiple firebender and they stood back to back, "Okay Aang, lets try and deflect as many as we can but as soon as you see an opening I need you to glide towards Appa."

"But what about you?"

Naruto chuckled, "Don't worry about me kid, I'll make it up there." He just hoped that he would make it back burned to crisp. All the firebenders began to fire but their attacks were constantly being deflect. They were being led towards the edge of the ship.

Zuko was getting more and more frustrated as the two keep blocking their shots, "Fire at the same time!" All the guards fired their shots and overwhelmed the two causing them both to fall into the water.

Katara looked on as they both fell overboard, "Aang! Naruto!"

Naruto opened his eyes and notice that they both submerged. He turned his head and looked at Aang. He wasn't opening his eyes which couldn't be good. Naruto Extended his hand and touched Aang's forehead with his two fingers.

"You better get em Avatars." He closed his eyes after he used his remaining energy.

Aang's eyes suddenly burst opened and his arrows began to glow. He spun around and bended the water causing it to form an underwater whirlpool. He lifted himself and Naruto out of the water.

After a few seconds of waiting everyone was surprised when Aang suddenly came out of the water with water swirling underneath him. He handed Naruto to Katara and Sokka and makes his way towards the ship. He landed on the deck and was quickly surrounded by the firebenders. He bended the water to form around him and then expands it causing everyone around him to go overboard.

Sokka looked in amazement, "Woah! Katara, you have to see this." His words were ignored as she tried her best to aid naruto.

Aang lifted himself up towards Appa and landed before he fell in exhaustion, "Uhgg…"

"Are you okay Aang?" Katara checked to see if everything was in order. He seemed fine but he looked like whatever he just did completely sucked up all his energy.

"Yeah I'll be okay for now." He crawled on top of Appa's head and tried his guided Appa away from the ship.

Both Iroh and Zuko looked on as the avatar made his escape, "We have to shoot them down!" They both shot a massive fireball at the same time to make it more destructible.

Aang jumped ran towards the saddle and used his staff like a baseball bat. As he swung he was able to airbend causing the fire ball to quickly change course towards a cliff. As it explodes the iced from the cliff fall right at the tip of his ship causing it to stop moving.

After they made their escape, they relaxed for a few minutes. Katara was quick to question Aang, "How did you do all that?" She was amazed by his level of skill, "You waterbended the water like a master."

Aang shrugged his shoulder not really knowing how to answer that, "I don't know. I suddenly felt a burst of energy and then whatever happened to me happened."

"Why didn't you tell us you were the Avatar." Katara felt stupid not seeing it from the beginning.

Aang looked down with a sad expression, "Because… I never wanted to be." How could anyone leave the fate of the world to a twelve year old and expect him to be completely fine with it.

Katara put her hand on his shoulders, "Don't worry Aang, were going to help you." She wasn't going to let him do this all by himself, "According to the legend your supposed to learn water next so if we head to the north pole you're bound to find a master there."

Aang smiled at her, "Thanks Katara and you too Sokka."

Sokka turned his head and crossed his arms, "Yea whatever."

"Come on Sokka, I'm sure you will get to beat a few firebender on the way."

Sokka rubbed his chin, "That does sound like something I would like." He then looked back and frowned, "If we do go back home we may put them in danger."

Now that Zuko knew what they looked like he was sure that going home wasn't the best idea. He didn't want anyone back home be harmed. His father left him the responsibility to keep them safe and leaving home was the best option.

Katara smiled at his agreement, "Okay it's all set. Were doing this all together."

Aang smiled at both of them and continued to focus on their destination. He took a quick look at Naruto before turning back. He was sure that he saw Naruto airbend to block that fire. He would ask him if he had the time but for now he had to focus on trying to master all the elements.


And there you have it folks. I hope you enjoyed. I'm not asking for a requirement so I can continue. My only goal is to write stories that no one has ever thought of and I hope this one will be one of a kind.

See you next time.
