Iroh recounted his time discovering the Five Great Nations, he remembered being on a ship as his first boats arrived. They began to cut down trees and set up a camp, but some of his Lieutenants began to enslave a nearby village. Stomping off his metal warship, he confronted them.

"What do you think you're doing!" He shouted

"General Iroh, we were just putting these peasants to work" he said confidently

"Did I ever make that order? No I didn't!" He shouted in his face

"Enough! General Iroh you sympathy and soft hearted nature shows how weak you are! I am going to make an inquiry about your removal!!" He shouted back

Before Iroh could shout back at his subordinate, there was screams being heard. Looking his men were being killed by men in masks with blades, they showed no mercy. His men waves fire, but the men in masks stood in a line. One shot a wave of water it doused their flames, in a second another out his hands in the water with lightening electrocuting them. They all fell dead on the ground Iroh got in the front throwing a powerful flare of fire as they back to dodge.

"Who are you!?" Iroh demanded

"The question is who are you?" Another voice demanded

A man came out in all black outfit with arm gaurds and a headpiece with a insignia on it.

"I am General Iroh, of the Fire Nation Army!!" He shouted

The man showed no emotion scowling at him.

"I am the Third Hokage, Leader of the Village Hidden In The Leafs" he answered back

Iroh looked at him and he seemed fearless ready to kill him necessary.

"You come and enslave my people take what you want this won't go unpunished!" Hiruzen shouted

"This is no longer you land this is property of the Fire Nation!" Iroh's Lieutenant shouted

Iroh wanted to snap at him, but didn't as Hiruzen glared.

"Then your life is forfeit!" Hiruzen shouted

The Lieutenant charged throwing a fire flare, Hiruzen used the massive staff on his back. Thrusting it expanded stabbing him in the center of his body, as it stopped the Lieutenant's body rolled away. Dead at Iroh's feet he returned his sight back at the Hokage.

Iroh glared as he threw a massive shot of fire, Hiruzen act fast.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"

A massive wall appeared as it stopped the fire.

"An Earth Bender!" One of his men shouted

Hiruzen jumped atop the wall with hand full of shuriken, throwing them with much strength.

"Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Shuriken Jutsu!" He shouted

More formed in mid air Iroh saw it and moved out the way. He then retaliated with a combo, Hiruzen rolled out the way. Throwing another fire flare as he closed the gap Hiruzen used his staff to fight swipping and thrusting Iroh kept up. Til he was kicked in the chest and pushed back.

"Wind Style: Wind Vacuum Barrage!"

Iroh surprised by the attack delayed the attack by throwing a river of fire. It gave him enough time to escape Hiruzen didn't let up as he followed Iroh down the wall, kicking him in mid air using his fire to glide. Hiruzen used his Chakra to walk on the wall, as Iroh circled throwing combos at him. Running up the wall to avoid the attacks and free falling to get away.

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon!"

A dragon shot out the wall knocking Iroh out the air and falling to the ground. Hiruzen dropped to his level as he ran towards him, Iroh threw a fire swipe Hiruzen jumped up.

"Wind Style: Wind Bullet!"

Shooting a barrage of wind bullets Iroh ran out of it's range, shooting a combo as Hiruzen was still falling. It hit him, but it was only a shadow clone he only realized as Hiruzen punched him in the jaw. Stumbling Iroh shot fire from his mouth, but then did Hiruzen.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

The two flames met making a fight for supremacy. The heat was intense as the fire lit the darkness, both were not letting up. Iroh was running out of breath as he had to break the clash and jump out the fire's path. Iroh as soon as he got distance he threw another fire flare, this time Hiruzen countered.

"Water Style: Water Wall!"

The water shot out of his mouth clashing with fire causing it make a mist. Iroh waited for him to come out, jumping out from the mist were three of him. One flanked his right while the other his left, he didn't know which to attack first. Punching he blocked it though the other one on his right roundhouse kick him in the face knocking him off balance. The left caught his arm and threw him in the air, as he flew Hiruzen was coming down ahead as he brought the back of his heel to Iroh's face. Falling at a fast pace smashing into the ground making a crater. Unable to fight the Anbu arrested Iroh and his other subordinates, who were quickly subdued. Iroh looked at Hiruzen dead in the eye.

"What is your name?"

"Hiruzen" he said

Iroh thought on his defeat.

"What is yours?" He asked

"Iroh"

"Well Iroh, it's a leader's responsibility to help to guide, to act as the pillar to hold the foundation, and to make sure the next generation can grow strong not to send them to their death" he explained

Iroh thought on that message he didn't think or expect a directness to him.

"I will permit you to take your ship and leave, but to never comeback" he said

Iroh nodded as he and his men boarded the ship and quickly set sail.

Present. Spirit World.

Korra sat looking at her elderly friend, as he finished his tale.

"It was after meeting Hiruzen, I realized what truly mattered" Iroh said with gentle smile

"What is that?" She asked

"To make sure that those who are came after me had something to look forward to and to build on what I had left" he answered

Republic City

Tenzin was glaring at Kisame who held his blade tightly. With his smile he lunged at Tenzin, jumping over Kisame as he landed on the other side he swung his blade. Leaning back just barely enough to keep his face out of the swing, then throwing a powerful gust of air pushing Kisame back aways.

"Such a nice breeze" he mocked

"You won't be taking anything!" Tenzin shouted

Inside the compound Mako and Bolin wanted to help the best way they could. Unfortunately for their wounds they couldn't, Bolin rolled in his wheelchair as the children plus Mako and Asami followed to a safe place.

"Oh hide and seek again?" A familiar voice sang

The brothers knew who it was as he came out the ground, Zetsu blocked their way.

"Hello"

Bolin acted fast bringing down the doorways arch.

"Mako!"

Mako turned ready to attack if came on the other side, waiting they didn't see his vine go down and wrapping around Jinora taking her away.

"Jinora!!" Ikki shouted as she disappeared into the ceiling

"Sorry, but I need her" Zetsu sang with a creepy smile

Leaving once again the three couldn't believe what had happened.

Tenzin was beaten almost at his limit, Kya had just came out, as she was trapped inside the lower levels of the compound. She went to his side throwing a chunk of ice at Kisame, using a ring of water to throw ice spikes at him blocking all that came. As she was distracted a water clone appeared behind her, turning as she felt his presence. Turning he gripped her by the neck lifting her the air.

"Kya!-"

Tenzin felt a sharp feeling his stomach looking down a wooden stake pierced him. Looking up he Zetsu through his blurry vision carrying Jinora on his side.

"J...Jinora" he said falling to the floor

"Good, now let's go" Kisame said as Deidara descended just enough for them to them board

They left as Kisame's cloned turned to water releasing Kya, who gasped for air. Those inside came out with Pema going to her husband as he lay on the ground. She had lost her daughter now she could lose her husband.

"They took Jinora" Kya gasped out

Mako and Bolin looked at the clay dragon disappearing off in the distance.

Spirit World

Naruto and Sasuke we're walking til they came across a large structure.

"Looks like a library" Naruto groaned

"That's because it is" Sasuke said

"No! Knowledge!" Naruto groaned again much louder

They entered as it was dead silent long rows of books filled the tower, even spotting a few dogs putting books on the shelf. Going in a bit further in a large bird came in, an owl with large wings with dark feathers and a white face.

"Who must you be?" It asked

"Sasuke Uchiha"

"Naruto Uzimaki"

"Yes, I see you are in the Library of Wan Shi Tong, keeper of a Thousand Things" he answered

He looked at both of them mostly at Naruto, but he then switched places with Kurama who began to speak.

"Wan Shi Tong"

"Hmmm Kurama? I didn't think to see you like this" he said

"Yes, and you must still be collecting for your...Library"

"Always am, fine you can browse my knowledge, but don't take anything" he warned flying off

"Kurama" Sasuke said

"Hmm?"

"How do you know that spirit?" He asked

"We have a deep hatred for the Avatar"

Korra sat thinking on Iroh's story.

"Now if you take this phoenix to the it's family it could show you what you're looking for" he explained

"Really?"

"Yes, they live on the mountains take it up there and it will be able to help you" he advised

"Can you come?"

"No, this is your journey alone so you can look for what you really need" he answered
