It was the afternoon of the next day and Tenzin was sitting in Narutos hospital room watching over him as he slept. The doctors had done everything they could to help the blond and now all he needed was rest.

The room was solid white with all the standard furniture and equipment. The Jian was leaning on the night stand.

(Korras in a chair rigt by Narutos bed asleep with a hand holding one of his and her head laying on his chest while Mako and Bolin stood in the shadows of the room on high alert for danger, even without sleep)

Tenzin had sent Pema on Oogi to retrieve his mother, aunt, uncle, and Korras parents three hours ago so they should be back in a few minutes.

At this moment the door opened. Mako and Bolin got ready for a fight but relaxed when they seen Pema walk in. The woman seen them and sighed. "I thought i told you two to go to sleep." said the woman as she gave them the look that a mother give her children when she's worried.

Mako nodded. "You did but we are making sure nothing happens to our friends." said the alert fire bender.

Before Pema could say any thing Sokka, Katara, and Suki walked in. "Oh leave those two young lads alone Pema, they are only protecting their friends. In my day it was essential to protect your allies to your dying breath." said Sokka.

Katara sighed. "That is true but in our day we were in the middle of a war that had lasted 100 years." said the elder water bender.

At this moment both Senna and Tonraq walked in. "Well it seems thes children are fighting a war of their own." said Tonraq.

The adults talked through the better part of the hour, waking Korra who talked with everyone.

After another hour Naruto sat up quickly.

"KORRA!" Screamed Naruto, eyes glazed over and not fully seeing everything. The blond was sweatting, his fingers had the cover in a vice grip, fear, confusion, rage, and worry were practically rolling off of him. Korra was about to run over to Naruto but Sokka held her back with a surprising amount of strength. "You must not touch him, it will only make it worse. Watch Suki and you will learn how to help him." said Sokka.

Suki slowly walked over to her adopted son. "It's ok Naruto, Korras right here. We're in the republic city hospital with you being the only one. Follow my voice, we are safe." said Suiki soothingly.

Naruto seemed to rcognize the voice and focused on it. "Momma?" asked the blond.

Even though Naruto couldn't see it Suki nodded. "Yes Naruto it's me. Focus on my voice." Naruto had finnaly came out of it. This is when Sokka let go of Korra.

The young avatar ran over to the blond and hugged him. The young spirit held Korra close. "I thought i had lost you forever." said the blond as he brought her closer, not wanting to let go in fear of her dissapearing into thin air.

Korra shook her head. "Never, i'll never leave you." said Korra.

For the first time in years Naruto cryed. The very thought of Korra dead had the blond choaked up.

(Scene change: two hours later)

The doctors did a final check up. Finding nothing wrong, they said he was free to go.

Naruto got dressed in clothes that Pema and Suki had chosen from his wardrobe, (Long-sleeved red shirt with a black fire nation emblem on the back, baggy blue jeans, green boots, and a yellow/orange bucket hat, shadowing his face) grabbed the Jian, and followed them out and to a restaurant that sold foods found in the water tribes, fire nation, and earth kingdom.

So they ordered their food and started talking.

"So Naruto, how well have you done at maintining the space sword?" Asked Sokka.

Naruto leaned back. "I oil her everyday and i sharpen her once a week." Said Naruto. Sokka nodded and looked happy about that.

So the coversations whent from weapons to war stories, relationships, and politics. After a few minutes the conversation whent to the equalist threat.

"So, the equalist leader has not only shown himself but revealed that he is able to take a persons bending away. This settles it, i'll be joining you in the fighting." said Sokka with conviction.

Naruto grinned. "And here i thought i'd have to actually ask you to join us." said Naruto.

The blond passed Sokka the space sword. "Here, if you are doing this you'll need every advantage you can get if your to have a chance you old geezer." said Naruto.

"Please, like any of these guys could beat me. I've learned years ago how to beat a chi blocker, and it was one who is 10x better then 50 of these weaklings combined." said Sokka.

And so they whent to air temple island and trained before everyone but Naruto whent to sleep.

Naruto whent to his training area and called Aang from the spirit world.

Before the late avatar could speak Naruto had already started. "I got my ass handed to me six ways to sunday yesterday and there was nothing i could do! So, i need more practical training." said the blond.

Aang nodded yet he was surprised at Narutos quickness to speak. "Alright, the lesson tonight will be about cloning. We spirits are omni-present, we can clone ourselves using our chi. We only have to think of it happaning and our chi does the rest. Masters of this technique can do it instantly." said Aang.

Naruto nodded and started on his work. It took an hour for Naruto to to make a perfect clone. After a little cheering Naruto started to work on the speed at which he could use it.

(Next day: late morning)

The new team avatar was hanging out at Asamis place while the adults were at a council meeting. Naruto didn't like Tarrlok at all. The guy practically reeks of greed and a hunger for power. (He would be a great Danzo)

Naruto has brought this up to Sokka and he said he would keep an eye on him.

At the moment The teens were swimming in the Sato mansions inside pool. Naruto and Korra where at the edge of the pool with Korra leaning on Narutos bare chest.

Mako was doing like them right beside Asami who was sitting on the edge.

Bolin was by the jumping board and was getting on it while Pabu was laying down on a chair at the far end of the room.

The four humans and one spirit were wearing swiming wear. (Mako, Bolin, and Naruto were wearing swimming trunks while Naruto had a necklace on with a blue crystal that Korra got him while her and Asami whent shopping. Asami and Korra were wearing one-piece swimming suits with Korra wearing a neclace with a red crystal on it that Naruto had bought while Korra was being distracted by Bolin(#badass wingman))

The teens were having a fun time just hanging out. This is when Asami had an idea. "Hey Naruto, wanna race a few new Sato mobile models?" asked the non bender.

Narutos head slowly turned with a grin bigger then the cheshire cats. "Hell. Yes" said the blond.

Asami giggled. "Well alright speedy. Go get changed and meet us at the track outside." said the girl.

Naruto kissed Korra and left. This made the two girls giggle.

(Scene change: five minutes later)

Naruto was in one of the newest Sato mobiles and he was raceing against Asami. The blond wasn't all in the race because of one reason. He over heard Hiroshi Sato talking to an equalist (maby Amon) about new equiptment he would be sending over.

Soon the race was over with Asami winning just barely. The teen girl cheered while Naruto started thinking. 'Hmm, i'll need to investigate this and gather proof that he is funding the equalist wrather then just tell everyone. If he is helping those bastards then i'll kill him.' thought Naruto before joining the others for lunch, never even noticing the blood red eyes that were watching him from the shadow of the Sato mobile he was just in.

(6 weeks later)

Naruto had finaly got a lead in his investigation that didn't lead to a dead end. A mysterious source had left a letter on his night stand while he slept. (This had Naruto put his cloning technique to use as extra gaurds and make sure the white lotus members stayed more alert)

The note was simple yet had the most useful information he had gathered through out his whole investigation.

'Sato mansion shed: secret tunnel'

Naruto had to admit that mr. Sato was truly a genius. The man had his secret weapons factory near yet unseeable by normal means. Naruto only found it because he could sense the body heat of mr. Sato while he was down there and the heat of the machines that were on 24/7.

'This fool has made a crucial mistake, he helped my enemies so now he's my enemy. Now, i will need to get this information to Lin and she can get to searching the tunnel.' Thought Naruto as he walked away.

(Scene change: Next day- mid day)

Lin kicked the door to the Sato mansion open and led her guys and to the backyard. They opened the door to the shed. Lin used her bare heel to hit the ground and sensed the tunnel and factory.

She nodded to one of her men who metal bent the floor of the shed, showing the tunnel to everyone inside.

This is when the new team avatar appeared.

Asami was about to yell at the metal benders for them to leave until she seen the tunnel. The rich teen girls eyes widened. "What is that?" asked the girl.

Naruto came over and gave her a brotherly hug. "That is the entrance to your fathers secret weapons factory. He's been arming the equalists for a war." said Naruto as he rubbed her back.

Asami shook her head, she didn't want to believe it but the evidence was condeming. The girl buried her face into Narutos toned chest and cryed. Se had made a big wet spot on the blonds red muscle shirt.

Lin coughed lightly to get their attention. Naruto nodded then passed Asami to Mako who continued where Naruto left off.

As Naruto whent to follow Lin he was stopped by Korra who grabbed his arm. "I'm coming with you, no arguing." said the girl with a grin.

Naruto was grinning from ear to ear. The young avatar had come a long way in a relatively short time. No longer was she a soft spoken girl afraid of her own shadow, now she was a strong confident young lady that could hold her own in a fight without causing property damage. Needless to say Naruto was proud.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." said Naruto. And the two decended down the stairs with Lin and her men.

(scene change: weapons factory)

When the group got down to the factory it was to dark to see. Narutos eyes changed to the red eyes of his spirit form.

The blond could now see as if he was outside right now. Narutos eyes widened. "MOVE!" The benders all jumped to the side, dodging the big ass metal hand that hit where they just were.

Naruto transformed into a big yellow fox as the lights came on. The transformed Naruto sprinted up the metal arm and hit the glass with every thing he had making the glass gain a few cracks.

Lin goes to bend the metal but nothing happens.

A light in the robot turns on showing it was Hiroshi Sato that was in the robot controling it. The man cackled. "It's no use cheif Beifong. This metal is so pure that not even your infamous mother would be able to bend it." said mr. Sato.

Naruto had his jaw closed with a flame burning in his lungs that he was powering with chi and oxygen. "How well can it be melted!" said Naruto in everyones mind right before spewing white hot fire at the weapon.

The metal melted and Naruto stopped the stream then caught Hiroshi and pinned him with two paws and had helips curled baring his fangs at the older man. The blond furred boy/fox growled at him. "Don't move Sato. You are under my jurisdiction now." said the blond furred spirit fox in the mans mind.

"You are here by charged with arming and funding the equalists, along with being one yourself. All of these have been proven true by your actions tonight so i find you guilty." Said the transformed blond in the guys mind.

Naruto raised a single paw with the claws extended. "Any last words?" asked Naruto as he glared.

Hiroshi spit on Naruto. "Very well then. May Ko the face stealer find you and take your face" said the blond outloud.

Before Naruto could deal the final blow he heard Asami. "DADDY!"

Hiroshi and Naruto looked over to the entrance with wide eyes. "Asami!/Asami!" Said the two simultaneously.

Hiroshi glared at Naruto. "So spirit-san, what now? Are you going to kill me now, IN FRONT OF MY DAUGHTER!" Screamed the man.

Naruto sighed. "You are a corrupt soul. You caused innocent men and women pain and suffering. Benders and non benders alike have suffered at your hands. You deserve the worst torture possible for all eternity but no, i will not end your worthless existence in front of her." At this moment a wall of fire arose inbetween them and the others.

"But i have no qualms with ending it while she can't see us."

This is when Naruto struck. The blond ripped open the guys throat.

Naruto changed back. "The last thing you'll see is the face of your killer. May the spirits torture your soul for eternity bastered." And with that Naruto slunk into the shadows.

The wall of fire came down, giving access to the area.

Asami ran over to her fathers corpse and cryed into his still chest. Naruto watched from the shadows for only a few moments befre dissapearing to air temple island.

(4 hours later)

Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Asami came through the temple doors to see all the adults (minus Pema who was watching over the three kids) and Naruto standing around the kitchen table. Closer inspection revealed they were looking over a map of the city.

"What are y'all doing?" Asked Korra.

There was no playfulness in Narutos eyes. He looked like both a front line soldier and a general. "Preparing for war."
