It is a bright morning in the Northern Water Tribe. As of right now, the city of Agna Qel'a is at peace...well somewhat at peace. After Iseda joined up with the Avatar and his friends three days ago, the citizens of this city found out about Iseda's crimes and exploits and became wary of him much to the shinobi's annoyance. After all, Iseda said that he didn't mean to kill those other 'waterbenders' as they were called. Speaking of Iseda, the shinobi is currently in the little hut that is being occupied by the Avatar and his friends.

Iseda stared at his reflection in the icy mirror he was currently using. Hesitantly reaching for his face, Iseda took his right hand and touched the bandages that were currently covering the Rinnegan which is now at full compacity.

"Should I take this off now?" Iseda said to himself. "My eye is completely healed and at full power, but I doubt that the people of this world have any Dojutsu of their own except maybe Avatar Aang, but I doubt even he does. I guess I could remove the bandages and just keep my hair covered on one side so no one sees the Rinnegan."

Iseda then took both of his hands and began to unwrap the bandages. Piece by piece, the bandages began to fall onto the ground, right on his boots. Eventually, all the pieces of the bandage finally came off, revealing the Rinnegan in all it's glory. Iseda stared at his reflection with both of his eyes for the first time in his surgery and let out a small sigh before smirking. He could practically feel the Rinnegan's power, just waiting to be released. He especially couldn't wait to use 'All Mighty Push' or 'Planetary Devastation' on the so-called firebenders of this land.

"All though from what I've heard from Avatar Aang and Sokka, the firebenders here are extremely weak, especially if they arrive here in the North Pole, were the waterbenders are at their strongest, especially at the night." Iseda mused quietly. Taking one more glance at himself in the mirror, Iseda covered the Rinnegan with some of hair, only making it seem like he only had his left eye avaible for use.

Speaking of the Avatar, where was the bald savior? Iseda remembered that the boy who was very similar to Naruto Uzumaki said that he would be training at this hour, but didn't think to bring Iseda with him, despite the fact that the Chief specifically said that Aang was supposed to be around Iseda at all times. Iseda let out an annoyed sigh before putting on his Akatsuki cloak.

"Oh you're here...great" An annoyed female voice said. Iseda turned around to see Katara looking at him with an annoyed scowl on her face. Katara was one of the few people other than the guardsmen that Iseda first met that very much disagreed with the Chief's decision to let Aang watch over the shinobi.

"Is there something you need Katara?" Iseda asked with raised eyebrows.

Katara scowled at the shinobi in front of her before speaking. "As a matter of fact, I do. Aang wanted me to come and get you."

Iseda's eyebrows raised even more. "Oh? Did he say why?"

"No he didn't, but since you're not allowed to walk around this place without supervision, Aang asked me to come and get you." Katara said. "Are you ready to go?" She asked with a slight edge to her tone.

Iseda ignored her slight edge, but answered anyways. "Yes, I am ready. Lead the way Katara."

Katara scowled even more before leading the shinobi outside of their hut and began walking in the direction where Aang was. Her and Iseda walked passed icy buildings and the citizens of this fair city. While they were walking, Iseda received glares from the men of the Tribe, expressions of fear from the women, and much to his shock, expressions of awe from the children.

Katara noticed the reactions the shinobi was getting and decided to say something. "Seems like someone is quite popular. I wonder why" Katara sneered.

Iseda ignored her tone and didn't respond back, much to the irritation of Katara. The two of them continued to walk until they ended up in what Iseda could describe at the Tribe's training grounds.

"Katara! Iseda!" A happy voice shouted. Iseda turned around to see Aang run up and hug Katara. The Avatar then turned towards Iseda.

"Nice to see you up and around Iseda!" Aang then noticed something else. "You finally took off your bandages!"

Katara whirled around and also noticed that the shinobi wasn't wearing his bandages, but the two benders still couldn't see his right eye. It made Katara wonder what he was hiding.

Iseda nodded his head. "Yes I did. My eye is now completely healed and I had no need to keep the bandages on for any longer."

"Besides if I need to hide the Rinnegan with something other than my hair, I'm pretty sure I could find an eyepatch." He commented to himself.

"If your eye is completely healed, then why are you wearing your hair like that?" Katara asked with her arms crossed.

Iseda shrugged. "Because I want too." He then turned towards Katara. "Is that a problem?" He asked slightly with a glare.

Katara glared back at him but then turned around and grumbled under her breath before walking away. Iseda watched her walk away before turning his attention back towards Aang.

"Is there a reason you got your little girlfriend to come and get me Avatar?" Iseda asked.

"She's n-not my g-girlfriend." Aang stuttered with a blush "T-the reason I-I brought you out here was to meet this guy."

Aang pointed behind to an old man with gray, receding hair, a goatee, and a moustache.

"Iseda meet my waterbending master; Master Pakku." Aang introduced.

Iseda stared at the old man with an amused expression. "This guy is a master? He makes Nagato look like a little boy."

"Is there something funny, boy?" Pakku scowled.

"Yeah, you." Iseda snorted.

Pakku immediately glared at the shinobi in front of him. "Such insolence! How dare you!"

"How dare I?" Iseda repeated amused.

"Didn't your parents ever teach you about respect!?"

The temperature despite the fact that it was already cold, all of a sudden got colder. Aang, Katara, and Pakku felt multiple shivers go down their spines.

"I don't know my parents..." Iseda growled slightly. Katara and Aang let out small gasps at Iseda's revelation

Pakku recoiled from the chilling aura that seemed to be around Iseda before smirking. "Well perhaps it was a good thing they di-"

BAMMM!

Pakku went flying back onto the ground from a hard punch to the gut. Dazed from the punch, Pakku got back up and tried to bend water, but immediately got punched again in the gut, causing his spit to fly out onto Iseda's hand and for him to go flying even farther back.

"ISEDA STOP!" Katara yelled. She summoned water into her hands and made water whips. Using her whips, she grabbed Iseda's hands. "That's enough!"

Iseda turned around and glared at her harshly. Katara flinched at the sight of his glare, but didn't back down. Iseda flexed his muscles, breaking the water whips and went through his hand signs.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu"

A dragon made of water spewed from Iseda's mouth. It almost crashed into Katara, but she dodged it just in time. Katara turned around to see the damage Iseda had caused and was astonished at the fact that the little bit of water broke part of training area.

"N-no way!" Katara thought to herself. "His weird bending is that powerul?!"

Iseda ignored Katara and turned back towards Pakku and stalked closely back towards his prey. Pakku, who had just recently gotten up, used his bending and created sharp icicles. He shot his hands forward in a fluid motion and the icicles went forward. Iseda put chakra into his feet and dodged all of them easily before running straight in front of Pakku.

"Speak in such a manner to me again and I will kill you." Iseda's hair parted revealing the Rinnegan in his right eye, which unnerved Pakku. He then turn towards Katara.

"Katara, next time don't get in my way." Iseda then jumped high into the air onto a nearby cliff, disappearing out of everyone's sight.

Aang couldn't believe what he just saw. Iseda completely oblierated Pakku and almost hurt Katara!

"Is the that powerful?!" Aang thought to himself. "To be able to defeat a waterbending master and Katara so easily?! If he really is a firebender, I'm glad he's on our side or at least somewhat on our side..." Aang shook those thoughts out of his head and ran over to Katara.

"Katara! Are you ok?!" Aang asked frantically.

Katara shook her head. "I'm fine Aang, just a little shaken up is all." She then looked over to Pakku, who looked like he had just seen a ghost. "We should check on Master Pakku."

The two of them ran over to the old man.

"Master Pakku! Are you ok?!" They both asked. Pakku at first didn't answer until he blinked for the first time since Iseda towered over him and looked at him.

"I-I am f-fine Avatar...excuse me, I must go to Chief Arnook immediately." Pakku walked in a hastily fashion leaving the two benders bewildered and with only one question on their mind.

Who is Iseda?

Iseda stared out into the vast pile of ice and snow in front of him. It hadn't been long after he fought that old fool and tried to hurt Katara. Iseda thought it would be better if he went somewhere by himself for a while before he returned back to the Water Tribe.

"That old man should've just kept his mouth shut and not brought up my parents! I know that I teased him on, but still..." Iseda let out a roar of anger and punched his hand into the ground, cracking the ice beneath him. He stared down at the cracked ice with a stoic expression before letting out a sharp sigh.

"I should get back. I have a feeling Aang and most of the Tribe is looking for me." And with being said, Iseda pumped chakra into his feet and took off.

"We gotta find him Sokka!"

Katara, Aang and Sokka were arguing on whether or not they should go look for Iseda. Aang, of course, voted that they should, but said that he would go look for the shinobi by himself. Katara agreed that they should go find Iseda, but didn't agree with Aang going alone and Sokka...well he just didn't flat out agree with either choice.

"Why should we go look for him?!" Sokka argued. "If anything we should just leave him alone and let him freeze to death!"

"Sokka! I made a promise to Chief Arnook that I would keep an eye on Iseda and right now I'm not! We have to go find him!" Aang argued with his nonbending friend.

Katara nodded her head. "Aang's right. We need to find Iseda fast. We don't know what kind of trouble he could cause."

"Well you don't have to look for me because I am right here."

All three of them turned around to see Iseda, standing in the makeshift doorway of their little hut.

"Iseda..." Sokka gulped heavily. "You're ok"

"I do not need your false concern Sokka." Iseda stated coldy. The boomerang wielding boy shut his mouth immediately. Iseda then looked over to Aang.

"Aang...I apologized for my actions earlier. I hope you can forgive me." Aang let out a small smile.

"Of course I can! As long as you promise not to do it anytime soon."

Iseda hesitated before speaking. "We shall see." The shinobi did look over to Katara, who looked back at him. A silent message was sent through their eyes (Iseda's left eye) and the Rinnegan-wielding shinobi went over to his side of the hut and laid down.

"I'm going to take a nap. Try not to disturb me." And with that Iseda closed his eyes, leaving the gang sitting their with unreadable expressions.
