===== Chapter One =====
A/N Ok people I hope you enjoy this story as I've been planning on doing an Avatar/Naruto fic before I even started writing 1st Vizard but could never come up with the right plot line for Naruto.
Declaimer: I own nothing of Naruto and Avatar, the last air bender apart from the twist on the plotline and Oc I create.
WARNING: I have aged the characters due to the fact that there could be lemons etc and a 12 year old doing it doesn't seem right (I've aged everyone by 3 year e.g. Naruto is 18, Suki is 18, Aang 15, Katara 17, and so on)
Beta-reader = Kyuubi16 Reborn
ANYWAY ON WITH THE STORY
==== A New Adventure a New Day ====
Everyone looked upon the sight in horror as fifteen year old Uzumaki Naruto shoved an ex-Kiri Nin out the way, only to take a hit in the chest from his sensei's Chidori. The silver haired man face was un-readable, as he pulled his blood soaked arm from his young students chest, making the boy cry out with pain. "Naruto" called out Haku as he knelt beside his new friend, his eyes red and puffy as tears flowed from them.
Naruto's eyes started to feel heavy as he watched a the crowd of armed bandits appear behind the upset group of ninjas, "Don't worry about me ok, I'm going to my parents and who knows, maybe a new life, so don't cry and live your life protecting your loved one's ok? Just like you told me," Naruto finished, his voice barely above a whisper. With no one able to say anything, they nodded.
Kakashi was angry, angry at himself, but also angry at Naruto for being too damn noble, and was about to speak when a loud laugh filled the area. Everyone snapped out of their self pity when the laughter started, all turning their heads towards a short man, surrounded by a hoard of bandits, "So the little snots dead, good one less to take out" declared the mob boss.
Zabuza just glared at the man and said "Kakashi, please let me," before charging in, armed with a kunai in his mouth, cutting a bloody path to the corrupt ship owner. When the fight was over Kakashi picked the young blond up and carried him back to the village, not even stopping when people asked him what happened.
==== Three Days later ====
Team Seven stood in front of their Hokage, deciding that killing the two Kiri Nin would be a waste of Naruto's death. "So I take it as a mission success Kakashi, but where is Naruto-kun?" asked the old man, thinking that the boy was eating ramen, but started to worry when the entire team flinched, "What happened Kakashi?" spoke the Hokage.
"I'm sorry to report that Naruto-kun lost his life, he sacrificed himself to protect someone," replied Kakashi, only to be slammed into a wall, a pissed of Hokage in his face, "What was that Kakashi?" questioned the man, scaring the ninja. Kakashi was sacred for the 1st time in a long while, but replied "He died take a Chidori to the chest, stopping me from hitting my target."
The old man drop Kakashi and said "That boy 'sigh' where is his body?" only to be informed that it was buried deep with the forest of Konoha were no one could disturb it, "I see, Team Seven has the week off, please leave me" ordered the Hokage, fighting back his tears.
==== Gate to Heaven, Spirit world ====
Naruto was standing in front of a large golden gate, confused to why many souls went through it but he could not, "Knowing my luck it's due to the Kyuubi," only to realize that the Kyuubi was not laughing at his misfortune like normal, pulling his bloody orange top up he found that the seal was gone "What the hell" cried Naruto.
"Boy you shouldn't shout so loud, and by the way my name is Avatar Roku," spoke a soft, wise old voice shocking Naruto, who replied in trying to do a shadow clone, realizing that something was wrong he replied "Um I'm Naruto Uzumaki, pleasure to meet you Roku-san" making the spirit chuckle. Roku just turned and signaled the boy to follow. "You must have many questions like why 'your chakra left you', so I must ask you a favor, and that is to wait for me to finish speaking ok?" started the Avatar, making his way towards a small hut surrounded by trees.
The hut was very bare, only a small kitchen/living room with a small bedroom and bathroom. Roku sat down by the small table in the center of the room, soon signaling the boy to do the same the same. Naruto felt something odd about the man, something he only felt around the old man back at Konoha, even the thought of the village made Naruto depressed but it was his chose in saving his friend and would not sit there in self pity.
"First of all, you have lost your chakra, your force of life now that you have died. This now brings us to a tale, my tale about a world there individuals with the power to manipulate the elements. These people are called benders, a populous born with the gift to control either the element of fire, water, earth, or wind. A powerful spiritual entity known as the Avatar has the ability to bend all the elements and watch over this as a guardian maintaining the balance of the world. That was until a century ago the fire nation led a genocide campaign wiping out the Air nomads fearing when the Avatar was reborn into that tribe it would stop all plans for the fire nation to deploy a campaign for world conquest. The current Avatar, an air nomad by the name of Aang has been decade within the ice during the last century avoiding the massacre of his people, but leading up to the current situation this world is in. I ask of your help young man, to give up your chance to reincarnate in your world and come to this one to help Avatar Aang save this world.''
Naruto was stunned speechless and confused for one thing. If he wasn't reborn then being there to witness and make sure the peace of his world he fought so hard for to make sure that all the people who died lives wouldn't be for nought, though on the other hand a single nation could overtake this world and cost the lives of countless innocents. Naruto could never forgive himself if he turned his back on the world to fall under the control of such people with the ideologies of Madara and Danzo. He made his decision and hoped it was the right one. "Fine, what is it you need of me?" to which the Avatar replied "I will train you in bending your element, and that will be decided by your true nature, not the mask you have placed to hide your fears," making the boy flinch.
==== Three years later ====
Naruto panted as he dodged another strike from his sensei, before falling over, too tired to stand. Roku was proud of his young pupil; the past two years had been a great success, the boy had come far in his training, he was skilled in all arts of combat, weapons, elemental bending, and hand to hand combat, also he had picked up an interesting hobby of playing the violin. He stood their remembering the day they found out the boy's element.
==== Flash Back ====
Naruto sat meditating, soon losing himself in thought, "How can one truly know this stuff, I mean sure his some big hot shot, meh I don't care, just focus on the task at hand," never noticing the small trail of white fire coming out of his mouth as he left out a deep sigh. Roku just watched, shocked that this boy had the breath of a dragon, for white flame has never and should never appear in human due to the fact it was so hot it would burn their insides.
"Naruto, follow me" called the old Avatar, shacking the boy from his trail of thought.
"What is it sensei?" The Blonde bender in training question, only for Avatar Roku to reply, "If you didn't know what you did then you are truly gifted," before making his way towards a large clearing and giving a sharp whistle.
Naruto was confused, not really sure what to do he sat, waiting until a large blue dragon appeared in front of them, "Naruto, you carry the white flame, now how this has happened I do not know, but only a dragon can train you how to truly master such an intense flame," said Roku shocking the young lad.
"But sensei would me being a fire bender cause problems when I find the new Avatar," asked Naruto, a little worried that it would cause major problems, Roku just gave a small smile and replied "You have nothing to fear boy, now you shall train in fire bending for a year and a half before returning to me to learn about lightning bending and politics etc for another one and half years" easing the boys fears.
==== End of Flash Back ====
Naruto stood in front of the mirror, he had grown much in the last three years, and his blond hair had grown long reaching to his lower back, losing most of its spikiness, tide in a neat pony tail, his face losing all its baby fat. Wearing a black and white Kung Fu outfit. The jacket left open showing a detailed tattoo of a white and gold dragon and well defined 6 pack. The teen had become calm and collective, even a bit sarcastic in his time with Roku, but once in a fight he became passionate, enjoying the moment while it lasted.
Making his way towards his sensei, who stood outside the hut, he said "So sensei what now?" grabbing the man's attention, who sadly replied, "You have to go now. There is no more time for the Avatar has already awakened. I will send you to a small village, you should arrive a couple of weeks before him and two friends show."
Naruto was sad he would have to leave his sensei but this was what he had trained these past 3 years for, and he would not betray the trust he was given. Giving a quick nod, Naruto asked "Then my we begin sensei" only to have the old man say "Good luck, my boy" tapping him on the forehead, making the teen disappear.
==== Kyoshi Island ====
Naruto appeared above a small village, using his skills, that were like second nature, he landed on a branch of a tall tree, "Stupid sensei, what bright idea was it to drop me from the sky?" mumbled Naruto, snorting, a small cloud of smoke coming out of his nose. Jumping down from the branch, Naruto noticed he was in some form of training grounds and surrounded by female warriors, all wearing green armor with red and white face pant.
"Name and reason you are so close to our training grounds?" The demand came from a young brunette no older then sixteen or seventeen. Her demeanor was firm and her aura display confidence not to mention leadership.
Naruto raised a single eyebrow before replying, "It's only good manners to give your name first."
The way the girl furrowed her brows such her clear annoyance. ''Suki, now answer the question, what's your name and why are you here?"
"I am Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm here because the Avatar believes he is a comedian," his response confused the young warrior women greatly. Once again their leader, the now identified Suki once spoke for them as a whole.
"The Avatar, now why should we just believe that?" she replied as the response was the last thing she expected to require. She was waiting for something, anything too give clue to his identity and to reveal whether he was an enemy or just some smuck that happened upon their domain.
"You have no reason not to,'' he started and started to reveal a few things. ''Look, I'm here to aid the Avatar, as he will pass by here in a couple of weeks. Now you can either you let me pass or we can settle this the hard way." He added a bit of a smirk on the end. He was sizing them up and was wondering just how delectable their leader was under her robes.
Suki and her fellow warriors grinned as they drew their fans, all ready to attack.
'The hard way huh? Jokes on them though,' He thought as he decided to have a little fun. "I guess it's the hard way, but don't blame me if you get burnt," He said snapping his fingers and causing a few sparks to appear. The Kyoshi warriors were shocked that in their midst was a fire bender. The conclusion quickly decided was that the stranger was an enemy due to the ways of the fire nation the past century. Deciding to act first, the Kyoshi warriors charged, trying to corner the teen. Naruto was impressed, their teamwork was synchronize not mention how each of them were positioned to strike really showed their superb, but he was better. He started by sending small balls of white fire at them, burning their armour, showing their more feminine side.
"You perv!" roared Suki, only to see all her warriors either disarmed or armor burnt showing more than they were willing. Just as she was about to attack the teen, Naruto pushed her against a nearby training post, his nose touching hers and whispered "Well, well Suki, this is interesting" and gave her a peck on the lips. Naruto tasted her lips as the scent of honey filled his nostrils. Suki's lips were full yet so soft. He could feel her melting into it as a small involuntary groaned escape her lips. Naruto learned quite a bit of history during his time in the spirit world and those who became Kyoshi warriors often didn't have time for a love life always training diligently. Though despite this they were still human and Suki was quite the woman. Naruto hands trailed down her back and grabbed her heart shaped behind. It was well tone just like her legs from the countless hours of exercise. Suki blushed through her makeup as this
Powerful teen invoked a fire that she kept hidden deep inside of her. An unfamiliar feeling build up from her stomach as she felt like she was going to faint. Remembering her training she slowed her breathing and calmed her heart to notice the blond fire bender was gone, and her fellow warriors surrounded her. One of the more covered individuals said "Suki what was that white flame he used? I've never heard of it and also.... was he a good kisser, got to admit, he's cute" making the leader cough, "Whatever and no I've never heard of white fire" before turning and walking off, leaving a group of giggling girls.
==== Sometime later ====
It had been two weeks since Naruto arrived at the island, and being hunted down by Suki, only letting her get a quick glimpse of him, before hiding from her. "Nothing more that the thrill of the chase makes the prize worthwhile," Naruto thought ducking behind another tree as Suki stormed past. He decided to have some fun so he crept up behind her, wrapping his arms round her waist and breathed into her ear, "Miss me already Suki?" After the question followed a sensuous kiss to the back of her neck causing her to shutter and moan. That feeling from before turned and the fire seemed to move to a 'lower' region this time. Before she could react he was gone again leaving her hot and bother. She cursed the handsome blond who seemed to like tormenting her with seduction tactics. "Damn him, and I was enjoying that, you might of won the battle, but the war will be mine!" she thought, marching through the forest, never seeing the blond standing above her in the trees.
"Nice ass" thought the teen watching the woman leave, seeing as there was nothing better to do; he sat down, drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
==== Three Weeks Later ====
Naruto was meditating in a tree, waiting for the Avatars arrival, "Anytime now!" said Naruto out loud, catching something flying in the sky, "At last" said Naruto who watched as a Unagi tried to eat the group, "I thought you left when I stopped coming to see you!" stated Naruto before remembering where he was going to, but he saw Suki and decided to play with her head some more.
"I spend way too much time with that girl" thought Naruto, just about to welcome the Avatar when the Kyoshi warrior's ambushed the group, "Dam it Suki" grumbled Naruto, as he listened to Suki asked the group why they were here. Naruto realizing that Suki was still mad, it wasn't his fault she like going to natural hot spring the same time he does, "Great body" he thought, small line of blood coming out of his nose.
Jumping from the tree, he landed in front of the two groups, shocking them. It didn't take long for Suki to realize who was in front of her "Naruto, what do you want? Didn't see enough last time?" This comment made everyone stare at the blond who stepped close to her again and replied. "Well I guess I could take another look, after all you do have a very nice. Tone, well curved and nice, ''He said as he licked his upper lip. The comment and action had its affect as the female populous blushed and the two guys looked upon him as if he were the ultimate ladies man. ''
"But seriously, I'm here to meet the Avatar" making the group flinch as the warriors pinned him to the ground "What does a fire bender want with the Avatar, you plan to kill him don't you?" Suki demanded, obviously upset if her tone alluded to anything that the guy she was growing attached to was going to kill the world's last hope.
"As much as I like having a group of women all over me, it would have been a large waste of my time training under Avatar Roku for the past three years in the spirit world, if I killed the person I'm supposed to help." shocking the group.
A young bald teen, about the age of fifteen said "Wait, you were trained by Avatar Roku, wow and you're a fire bender, can you train me?" only to hear Naruto reply "I'm sorry Aang, but the fire I control, could kill you and you probably couldn't produce it anyway, hell even Avatar Roku was shocked when I had first used it by accident." making the young boy depressed.
Everyone was quite till a tall, dark skin lad, with his hair cut in the style of a wolf's tail shouted "Aang! Why are we even talking to this fire nation scum!" only to be slammed against a tree, and pinned by Naruto who replied "I might be a fire bender, but do not throw me in with those bunch of murder's! I am a true fire bender, for I was taught by a Dragon", releasing the teen and walking away calling "Cya later Suki, you to Avatar and your pretty friend," disappearing from view.
"Wha-what the hell was his problem?" asked the Avatar only to hear the young girl of the group reply "Sokka in all his wisdom insulted him. Naruto was trained by not only two Avatars, even though one wasn't really training, and a dragon Aang. To be put into the same group as the hate filled Fire Nation must have affected him."
Aang nodded in understanding and said "I see, well come Sokka, Katara, we'd better say sorry, plus have a powerful fire bender would help a lot" only to be stopped by the group of warrior's. Suki was pissed at this Sokka, first he accuses that women are weaker than men, then he goes and upset her Naruto "'My Naruto? What the hell, ah forget but first to get these to the village" she thought ordering her troops to carry Aang and Katara, while she dragged Sokka through the forest.
==== A few days later ====
Naruto was sitting on the roof of the Kyoshi training grounds, watching Sokka being trained by Suki in their way of fighting "Stupid, why am I getting so worked up over him calling me a 'Fire Nation scum' I mean I'm not one so wh...." only to be cut from his trail of thought when Sokka was lying on top of Suki "Oh he's dead, I'll just wait till no one's looking and roast him, yea that will do."
As he was getting up he noticed Oyajii run towards them. "Suki, Suki where are you, Fire Nation soldiers have been spotted of the coast!" called the village leader shocking the teens, Sokka snarled and shouted "I told you that fire bender was trouble" only to end up eating dirt as Naruto knocked him to the ground.
"Suki, you take the warriors and mister cross dresser here to the village, I meet them half way" ordered Naruto not waiting for a reply before he started running through the forest. Naruto had just missed the first wave of fire bender led by the exiled prince but was in time to confront a second wave.
"Ex-general Iroh, I guess I pulled the short straw" said Naruto getting into a unknown stance to many, but Iroh realized who this boy was trained by, "Ah a young one who understands the art of true fire bending, I'm glad to see a fellow dragon lives, so let us begin" said Iroh sending two fire balls at the teen. Naruto just dodged the shots; send multiply waves of white fire at the large group of fire nation warriors standing behind Iroh. "The white flame of purity, for you to carry such a flame, I see you are truly gifted my boy" stated Iroh as the two fire benders started send blasts of fire at each other, again.
The group of teens fought their way to their flying bison, "Sokka," called Suki grabbing the boys arm and send "Even though you've changed, I still dislike you for what you did to Naruto, but if can find it in your heart please don't judge him like I did at the start, and tell him I'll see him again and not to worry," before running back to the fighting, "How does that blond asshole do it?" asked Sokka, only to be grabbed by the collar and dragged on the flying creature.
"Yip yip Appa," called Aang from the bison's head, making it take off. As they flew away they saw a large blast of white fire coming from the beach, and as they got closer they spotted Naruto fighting an old man, both equal. Looking round they saw injured or dead Fire Nation soldier's all over the beach, shocking the group. "What happened here?" asked a stunned Sokka, the first to realize that Naruto had beaten all these men in combat, "Aang get lower so I can grab him," called the teen hanging off the edge of the flying bison.
Naruto was finding it hard to keep up with the old man in front of him, jumping back he said "Wow, you really are what they say, to have such control of your flames is truly awe inspiring, by the way the names Naruto Uzumaki and I look forward to meeting you again Iroh," making the old man chuckle. " And I look forward to meeting you again my boy, you are a fine fire bender boy and remember just because you're a fire bender, doesn't make you evil, ah and here's your ride," said Iroh as a flying bison swooped past, a teen grabbing Naruto.
Just as the bison was out of view, a heavy sacred teen came up to the old man and said "Where were you uncle, we lost because your wave never showed" only to have the man sigh and reply" Look around Zuko, does it look like I was drinking tea?" making the boy take in his surroundings.
Zuko was shocked as the bodies of his men covered the beach front, "Who did this uncle?" asked the prince.
"I believe his name was Naruto but I could be wrong, anyway he carries a rare flame only ever to be wielded by dragons, as it was too dangerous to be used by human due to the fact that it would burn us from the inside out" replied the old man, impressed at the boy's skill, even if Iroh had the more experiences and wasn't fighting at a hundred percent, with time Naruto would be a force to be reckoned with. "Let's just get moving again uncle" ordered the prince, looking forward to meeting this Naruto.
==== Aboard Appa ====
Naruto pinned Sokka down and hissed "Where is Suki, where...?" only to have Katara gentle pull him off her brother. Sokka just sighed before saying "Suki wanted me to tell you that 'you would see each other again and not to worry', what's the deal between you two anyway?" making the blond teen laugh, "Me and Suki have a strange relationship, I kind of got here a few weeks before you lot, and ended up in the training grounds they were using. Well long story short, they attacked me I burnt some armour of, they showed some skin, and I ended up making out with Suki."
Sokka just sat there, even though Naruto was a fire bender, he was different from other's he had heard of in the past, no this guy was his new idol, eager to learn more he dragged Naruto away from his sister and said "And, how did you keep her coming after you without killing you?" making the new group member think, clicking his finger he said "I taunt her, made her chase me through the forest until she dropped her guard. That's where I'd sneak up on her, slowly kiss her neck and whisper her deepest desire to her, making her want more, and just as she would give in, I'd go and hide again making her want me all the more", adding the detail knowing Katara was listing and getting slightly turned on by it.
The absence of man in her village due to the war had left a profound effect on the pseudo water-bender who lacked male companionship while trying to fill in the void the death of her mother left in the family years ago. Naruto so far of what she knew was not only powerful, a bit of aloof if not playful, but also quite mysterious.
Sokka was in shock, rummaging through his bag his grabbed a paper and pen, before saying "Please do go on," making Naruto sweat drop and reply "How about I'll write a couple of scrolls for you later but first I'd like to get to know my fellow adventures" sitting right next to Katara, everyone else was too busy doing something to hear him whisper "So what's your deepest desire?" making her blush.
==== Next day, Three days from Omashu ====
Naruto was sitting away from the group, even though he wouldn't admit it he missed Suki and well Kyoshi, "Come on Naruto, we decided that we were going to live the of life as a Casanova," he thought, refusing to admit he'd fallen for the powerful woman, "Well at least my white fire is like a bloodline, who knows, might get a lot of lovely ladies," letting out a small chuckle making Katara look at, giving her a quick wink he stood up, and jumped of the creature shocking the group who all looked over the edge to find Naruto "Ahh he's flying," cried Sokka.
Naruto was happy that he learnt how to use the flames as thrusters; it was peaceful amongst the clouds, even when he was kid he wished to fly and just thinking about Konoha made a tear's form in his eyes, but as quick as they came, they were gone as Naruto shacked the trail of thought away "I have a new life now and I should be glad that I had such a chance." he thought before landing on the back of Appa, ignoring Sokka saying how cool it was, and Naruto was making fire seem less evil to Aang.
Katara was worried about the new member of the group, even though they'd only been together for more than a day, she could tell something was wrong with him, "Are you ok Naruto?" she asked, getting even more worried as the teen didn't flirt like he normally did. Naruto was shacking from his daydreaming when a soft par of lips touched his cheek, looking around he noticed Aang and Sokka were talking about some nonce's, not even looking towards him and the blushing, dark tanned girl, kneeling in front of him.
"Look Katara don't get me wrong but, could you wait till get to know you better?" Naruto asked, hoping he didn't hurt the girls feelings, only to hear her say "Of course we can, but I'm guessing you miss Suki?" making Naruto nod, sighing she said "You'll see her again one day," before giving him a kiss on his forehead. Naruto just lay down looking towards the setting sun thinking "Dam right I will" a small smile on his face, before he fell asleep.
==== Three days later, Omashu ====
The gang had made it to the gates of earth kingdom, the siblings looked at the giant city with awe as they came towards the main gate, until Katara send, "Aang you should hide your identity" and coming up and 'cleaver' plan Aang used Appa's fur making a wing and moustache. As they came up to the guards they saw a man crying, looking over the edge calling for his cabbages. "Who are you lot?" asked the guard only to have Aang up in his face and say "My name is Bonzu Pipinpadaloxicopolis and these three are my grandchildren Katara, Sokka and Naruto, I wanted them to meet a old friend of mine, you got a problem with that you whipper snapper" scaring the guard.
"Just go and make sure gramps stays out of trouble" spoke the guard, signaling them to open the gate. Once they entered the giant kingdom Aang started babbling on about how they should rode the delivery system, "You know, I think I'm going to take a look around" said Naruto, leaving the group behind who just shrugged their shoulders and walked towards the carts.
Naruto wandered around the lower streets of the great city, minding his own business until he spot a tall woman, her hair was long and black with a small topknot, just sitting in a bar talking to a group of scruffy, horny looking men and saw how unhappy she was talking to them. Naruto was bored, so having nothing to do he walked up behind, putting his hand around her waist and said "There you are, I lost you in the market babe, look let go get some food," leading the woman away from the angry group.
As they walked down the street, Naruto was pushed into a alleyway, his hand forced above his head "Who the hell are you?" demanded the woman, placing a small knife against his throat, not seeing a need to lie he answered, "The names Naruto and I was only helping you because well, you didn't look happy with all of those 'men' all over you so I decided to help. So, got a name to go along with body of yours?"
Being use to having flirts all over her the woman pressed the blade against his neck harder, drawing blood and said "June, now how about piss off?" only for Naruto to quickly grab her hand holding the blade and lick the blood off it saying "Tasty." June just stared at the tall blond in front of her, his sent filled her nose, giving her rush, "Hmm maybe someday but not today, cya round toots," said Naruto walking off, leaving a stunned June who ran after him only to find him gone, "Damn, where the hell is he? Well at least I got his name, and I never let my pray go." said June licking her lips, before disappearing into the crowd.
Naruto sighed as he watched Aang and the other two get arrested for pupil damage and other stuff that would lead to a major headache, "Oh guard may I ask why my friends are being arrested?" asked Naruto only to be grabbed by two guards "So that's all four of you, well we better go see the king," ordered the captain, as they walked down the street, passing June who was shocked to find the man she was searching for being arrested.
==== Throne room ====
Kneeling in front of a wrinkly old man, the four teens stayed there as the captain said "Sir we caught this...." only to have Naruto interrupt him saying, "Um I asked why and you arrested me?" only to have everyone glare at him, brushing it of he nodded to the captain who continued to list the crimes they did. The old man stared at each teen, Sokka started whimpering as Katara put an innocent face on, well Aang whistled quietly and Naruto, well he was just plan bored of the situation. "Sir what should we do with them?" questioned the earth bender, everyone quite, waiting for an answer until the king laughed and send "We'll throw them a feast," making the soldiers sigh. The small group teens looked at each other before shrugging their shoulders.
The feast was huge for only five people, plates of meat and fruit covered the large table, much to the pleasure of Sokka and Naruto, who dug into the meat, though Naruto had some table manners and chewed his food. "So where are you from baldy?" asked the crazy king only to have the young lad say "Kangaroo island", "I heard the place is hopping" called the king making Sokka choke on his food with laughter.
As the feast went on Naruto felt as if something was missing, and soon realized that the king never gave his name, well think that was just rude Naruto opened his mouth just a stab of meat flew towards Aang "For the love of Kami, don't air bend!" thought Naruto, cursing his luck as the young Avatar used his skills by reflex to catching the meet, shocking everyone, "I think we should go now," said Sokka, already on his feet and ready to leave, but was soon placed back in his seat by a large guard. "So Avatar, you will have three challenges tomorrow to earn yours and your friend's freedom, take them to the cells" said the king signaling the guard to take them away, "The good ones or the bead ones, sire"
The old king stroked his chin before saying "The old ones that are now refurbished." As the Aang, Sokka and Katara tried to find a way out of their cell, Naruto sat there meditating much to Sokka's disbelief, who he shouts, "Naruto instead of sitting there how about fire bend our way out, it's supposed to be one of the hottest flames ever," making the teen glare at him as the cell door opens, a guard standing there with a sadistic grin on his face, "So we got ourselves a little fire bender, well I know just what to do with you." said the guard grabbing Naruto by the neck and dragging him out.
"Naruto, NARUTO! Sokka you idiot why would you shout that out in the middle of Earth Nation kingdom!" shouted a worried Katara only to be reassured by Aang saying "Naruto is very powerful, you saw what he's able to do at Kyoshi island, now we better rest before the trails tomorrow." before going to sleep.
==== Naruto ====
Naruto was roughly dragged through many twists and turns, making their way deeper and deeper in the kingdoms dungeons only to stop outside a large gate, "Well boy this is your one way ticket out of here. We hold a contest, all the prisoner fight each other, winner walks away a free man, enjoy, oh and you can't bend, you bend, you die" said the guard pushing him into the arena, a large crowd around them.
"Shit, this is just my luck, when I get out of here Sokka is so dead." Naruto announced then took notice of the guards waiting to kill anyone going to bend and the group of murder's, rapists and other criminals surrounded the him, "I guess we can't talk about this can we?" only to dodge as a large man swung, "Guess not," he said, getting into a lose stance, the second he showed that he 'dropped' his guard the group attacked. Naruto ducked under right hook, slamming an open palm into the man's chest, breaking his ribs.
Up in the stand's June watched the teen take down the large group of men with easy, his eye's burning with passion as he broke one of their jaws, "I've never seen someone enjoy battle that way, he's enjoying the fight more than injuring his opponent, rare for a fire bender" she thought, drooling at Naruto's chest.
As the fight continued Naruto started to get board of the small bunch of men left, "Right palm strike, left palm strike, duck, round house kick, roll, elbow to the chest, again, roll, low kick to the shin followed by a snap punch to the face" thought Naruto as he finished of the remaining combatants. When Naruto finished of the 'fight', he looked around the arena and noticed June sitting in the stands, giving her a wink just as a guard grabbed him from behind. As Naruto was being dragged back to his cell the guard said "Round two tomorrow" laughing as he dragged him away, "If I die again, I'm going to be so pissed at you Kami, but not only me but my female fans would be so upset, so how's about a break yeah?"
==== Next day, Naruto's cell ====
Naruto waited quietly for the guard to arrive and lead him to the arena floor, it wasn't a long wait till he showed, grabbing Naruto by the collar of his shirt. "Well boy today's a bad day for you, see we got this right loony waiting for you, but you can bend so you might win" said the man ripping the teens shirt, showing his well defined body, and pushing him in the arena. The crowd went wild when Naruto landed in front of them, June little at the teen's body, "it's not fair if he dies now" she cried.
"HAHAHA you fight me, me crush you" declared a man easy seven feet tall, his shaved head was covered in scars and tattoo's along with a scruffy red beard, "What the fuck are you, half giant, half gorilla" replied Naruto, who was about to send a blast of fire at the man till a crack in the earth made him lose balance, sending the white flame into the air, "Shit this is a fixed match, fine their making sure I get killed, well you play dirty, then I end this fast" thought the teen covered his fist in fire and charging at the giant, punching straight in chest, leaving a large burn.
The crowds watched in awe as the smaller man dodged every strike sent at him, before send a blast of super heated fire at the man. "I've never heard of white fire," or "What the hell is this kid?" was heard around the arena, soon turning into a chant, as Naruto continued to send blasts of heat at the man. "Doesn't it die," thought Naruto shocked at how much damage the giant had taken in no more than ten minutes, "I wonder of Aang is doing?"
==== Aang and crew ====
Aang stood in front of the king who was more interested in his opinion of his bazaar purple robe that the challenges, "Look I don't have time for your games, where's my friend's, it's time for us to leave" demanded Aang, only to have the king click his fingers, showing Sokka and Katara being held captive, "I thought that you'd disagree so I'm going to give them a little gift, their called Jennomite or Creeping Crystal because they grow at a ridiculous speeds when in contact with a living creature, terrible why to die" replieded the King, Aang looked worried at his to friend's before saying "Fine I'll do it but where's Naruto?"
Looking confused the king said "Oh your fire bending friend, well he was sentenced to the arena where he's fighting for his life" acting as if was nothing to worry about, the three teens panicked at their friends situation.
==== Naruto ====
Naruto had been getting tired for a while now; this thing just didn't stay down "Too stupid to die," thought Naruto, only to get punched in the chest sending him into a nearby wall. The crowd was going wild as the two men fought to the death, hoping that the fire bender would become nothing but a blood stain.
"You though for little guy," spoke the giant man, grabbing Naruto and throwing him across the arena. As he hit the wall, a large dust cloud covered him, using it to his advantage; he jumped to his feet and started charging up a large ball of white fire that got smaller and smaller till it was no bigger than a tennis ball.
"Eat this fuck face" spat Naruto, shooting the concentrated ball of super-heated flames, burning the man's left arm off, "MY ARM" cried the giant man, enter a blood frenzy and charged at the teen, slamming him against the wall, "Bad idea Naruto" the teen thought coughing up blood.
==== Aang ====
"It seems I've lost my lunch box key and I'm hungry, be a good air bender and fetch it for me would you?" called the king from a balcony. Aang looked at his surrounding, "I'm stuck in a cave surrounded by sharp, pointy rock, oh and the key is in the middle of waterfall, great" thought Aang sarcastically. Seeing no other way he ran towards the waterfall, reaching for a ladder in the middle only to be swept away by the force of the rushing water, "Why does every single idiot go for the ladder" shouted the king, watching as the Avatar tried to get the key from above. Aang was fed up; with no other idea's he head butted the stalagmite he was griping on to, when a light bulb went off in his head.
Snapping the point of, he aimed at the chain holding the ring and threw the sharp rock, sending a blast of wind so it could make it through the waterfall and pin it above the king's head. "I've got you key, enjoy your lunch and let my friends go" demanded Aang, only making the king laugh and say "Tsk tsk there's two more tasks, and it seems that my pet Flopsy has gotten away again" leading them to a large pit with a small rabbit sitting in the middle.
Aang silently landed behind the small pet and said "Found him" making the king smile and replied "Bring my Flopsy-wopsy here, daddy wants a kiss". Aang started to slow move towards the small animal and was about to grab it when a huge gorilla goat (I search all over net and found Avatar Wiki which says that what he is, so don't bitch) "Aaaaaaaa!" cried Aang as the giant beast chased him and the small rabbit in front of him around.
"Wait Flopsy!" cried Aang as the giant beast was catching up on him, only to watch in horror as the small rabbit run into a crack in the wall, "Wait a minute" thought the Avatar turning the gorilla goat and say "Flopsy?" making it stop on the stop, giving a big wet lick on the face, before running to the King.
Aang jumped up in front of his two friends and said "So how's things?" only to get a sarcastic reply from Katara about of things were fine, both watching as Sokka fell over, "Just hurry Aang, remember Naruto might need our help" said a worried girl.
==== Naruto ====
The teen spat another mouth full of blood on the floor as the one armed man punched him, sending him flying across the arena, "This isn't even funny, and the guards keep moving the ground beneath me so I can't aim straight 'sigh' looks like I'll have to do this the hard way" thought the teen, getting to his feet.
The crowd was at awe at the damage the two men put each other through, both bleeding heavily, "Come on Naruto, why do you keep missing" thought June, on the edge of her seat, as Naruto started hopping round the giant man, punching the man so fast that sparks of lightning came from his fists. Naruto hated using lightning, the memory of Kakashi's Chidori killing him, plus it was called the cold-blooded flame for a reason.
"But now is not the time to worry about wrong and right, this man wants me dead and I'm going to give the fucker hell before I die" thought the teen, slamming his lightning covered fist into the man's jaw, stunning the giant.
==== Aang ====
Aang let out stood in front of the king as two men landed next to him; one was a giant man carrying a large axe, the other was a psychotic looking man, covered in scares and different blades, "So I get to pick one person to fight, who ever I point at?" asked Aang, his brain coming up with a strange plan, as the king nodded "Well here's nothing" thought the teen and saying "I'll fight you," pointing at the king.
"Bad idea kiddo," laughed the king straightening his back, and shrugging of his robes showing an impressive set of muscles. Not letting the teen react, the king slammed his foot on the ground send a large piece of earth to knock Aang into the arena below "You made a bad decision in picking me. The most powerful earth bender you'll ever meet" making Aang curse his luck and ask "Any chance I can fight the axe man?" making the king laugh. "There's no take backs in this kingdom, and you're going to need this" called the king, throwing Aang's staff to him and jumping down.
As the king hit the ground, a large rock flew into the air, only to be sent at the young lad. "Duck and evade, typical air bender" shouted the king sending rocks and waves of earth at the teen, "I was hoping that the Avatar would be different, you'll have to attack sooner or later," shouted the mad man making rock fly towards Aang knocking his staff out of his hands. Aang jumped to his feet and ran towards the mad man who just sent spikes of earth at the teen charging at him. "Tsk tsk please is a little more creative," called the king sending more towers after teen.
Making an air scooter, Aang charged again at the old king sending blasts of wind at him. The king didn't even blink as he created a simple wall of stone, blocking the wind blasts and said "Sure is drafty here, did I leave a window open, no wonder your taking so long, your waiting for to catch a cold," before sending a huge wave of stones, knock the teen down again. "How you going to get me when you're so far away?" asked the king, making the ground turn to sand, trapping Aang.
==== Naruto ====
Naruto was tired, he shot everything at the giant in front of him, who was barely standing "One more hit and it's over" Thought the teen taking a huge breath, while charging up lightning in his hands. The crowd watched, waiting for one of the combatants make a move. June was sitting there, gripping her seat so tight her knuckles were turning white "Come on Naruto" she whispered, watching in awe as the teen bended both fire and lighting at the same time.
Charging enough energy, Naruto brought his electric covered hands to his mouth and let out the deep breath that took the form of a white dragon covered in dark blue electricity, flying toward the behemoth, send him through the arena wall, and the next wall and the next, and by the looks of things he wasn't stopping soon.
==== Aang ====
The teen pinned his staff against the old man neck, only to notice a large bolder above him "Well done Avatar" said the old man, throwing the boulder away and sinking onto the ground only to reappear next to Katara and Sokka. "Let them go!" Demanded the Avatar to the old man, who replied "First a question," making the teen start ranting about the point of all this. The man laughed and said "Why have test if you never learn, now here's the question, what my na....." only to be interrupted as a giant man came flying through the arena, a pissed of blond chasing him, "Naruto" called Katara making the teen stop.
"What, you..." Naruto called Naruto walking toward Sokka, clicking knuckles only to have the king say, "What is my name, you don't have much time left," before sinking back into the earth. Aang sat down thinking about what each trial involved "Wait a sec, ha-ha I know his name" making Naruto ask "Please don't say I almost died so you'd remember a old friend because I'm already going to kill Sokka and I really don't want to have to kill you to Aang" scaring the group.
==== Throne room ====
The group stood in front of the mad man, Naruto was happy they gave him new clothes. A pair of black kung fu pants and slippers with an emerald green kung fu top, again leaving it opens. "I know you're name, like you always said 'I had to open my mind to the possibilities' Bumi," making the king laugh, soon embracing the Avatar in a hug.
Naruto started to snort fire as the two old friend talked about thinking like a mad genius, when he snapped and said in a low growl "I was right, this was just to learn his dam name, well Sokka looks like you'll be sharing a grave with little Aang here," and was about to attack, when Katara appeared in front of him, fluttering her eyes and asked quietly, "Can you not kill the world's last hope, I mean it would make me awfully sad, plus what reason would we have to travel together" playing to Naruto weakness, women.
Sighing he nodded and walked away mumbling about a next time, leaving the gang to catch up once they were free of the Jennomite.
==== Streets of Omashu ====
Naruto stood in front of the group and said "I'm going back to Kyoshi, I need to know if Suki is ok," making Sokka and Aang sad that they'd be leaving their new friend behind and Katara was well disappointed that she wouldn't be spending more time with the blond. Naruto looked at the depressed group and said, "Look I'm enjoying traveling with you but I'm worried so, I'll go back to the village and when I'm done I'll catch you up, don't worry I made a friend who's a master tracker" before giving Katara a hug good bye and telling the lads to watch over her for him.
When the group was out of view Naruto walked down one of the many alleyways, only to be pinned against the wall by June, "So I finally found you, So why'd you leave you little group?" she asked only to fish a small green ribbon out of his pocket and say "I need your help finding someone" making the woman smile and nod.
