AN

Hello all, sorry for these slow updates it's just so many things happening. Seeing so many authors update on the site shows me I have to step up. All these request for the harem list I see and I may add a twist to your choices. Now on to the comments:

Ninja bat Master- I am not going to lie if I didn't say both should be in the Harem, Azula's situation I will work around.

Neco-chan-Thank you for the awesome advice and it actually works.

Chm01-I realized my mistake and all that is happening is leading up to Aang

5-digit-That is absolutely…god**** right. Because of your awesome idea that will be included in this chapter.

NOW ON WITH THE SHOW

Naruto just stared at Jiraiya as he peeked with his telescope. Jiraiya always chose this training spot because it had a perfect view of the hot springs nearby. If Jiraiya could voice his opinion out loud he would say Lightning's hot springs were 2nd only to the Northern Water Tribe.

"Hey Ero-sensei! If we're not training then I'm leaving. I got more important things to do than watch your peeping session." Naruto said frustratingly.

Jiraiya chuckled perversely before turning to his student.

"Alright gaki first thing is first, have you decided on a fighting style yet?"

"Not really. Tou-san's Lightning armor style is really powerful, especially for multiple enemies. But Kaa-san's Discharge style is perfect for non-lethal combat." Naruto then smirked.

"So I decided to combine both!"

Jiraiya stared at his pupil with awe. "Combine both styles; if anyone can do it it's you. However, for what I need to teach you require a different style altogether."

Jiraiya got in a ready stance. "You know from are other lessons that Airbending style of Ba Gua and that Lightningbending is the style of Shaolin."

Jiraiya then stepped into a different stance. He pressed both hands together and settled into a horse stance. The wind began swirling around him and thunder clapped as lightning flashed from Jiraiya's cyclone.

"When both are combined and used together." Jiraiya opened his eyes to show then glowing blue as his lightning. "Stormbending is possible." Jiraiya then released his technique and shifted back to a relaxed stance.

"So how far are you since last time gaki?" Jiraiya asked his speechless student.

Naruto then snapped out his admiration. "I got the 'storm' part of it down but it's the wind that is the problem. It also doesn't help that all Air Nomads that can help me are either gone or hibernating somewhere."

Jiraiya patted Naruto's shoulder. "Don't worry about it, Susanoo mode is a state that only a few can reach and you are beginning to Stormbend which most Lightningbenders can't."

Naruto gained a grateful look. "Thanks Jiraiya-sensei, I needed to hear that."

Jiraiya was speechless. "Did you just call me-"

"Yah don't get used to it Ero-sensei!" Naruto then started running.

"NARUTO!"

-(Time-Skip 2 year)-

Naruto could not believe this. HE was being dressed in his formal kimono, the Haori was royal purple and blue, dark blue Obi, and purple hakama. Kushina was helping him prepare.

"Kaa-san why do I have to do this, you and Tou-san never went through something like this." Naruto complained.

"I know Naru-chan, but we are in the middle of a war and alliances must be made. If this works then the Earth Kingdom can get more support from inside rather than repeatedly sending troops." Kushina then finished with the kimono.

"And besides, you look so handsome!" Kushina exclaimed.

"Kaa-san you're embarrassing me." Naruto said with a blush on his face. Soon Minato walked in the room.

"Is everything ready?" Minato asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Naruto answered.

The family walked into the throne room and saw their visitors. There were three if you didn't count their Earth Kingdom guards. The woman wore a formal white and light red kimono, had black hair in a formal bun and green eyes. The man wore white and gold kimono and a gold headpiece, black hair and two long mustaches, and brown eyes, but the third one caught Naruto's attention.

The girl was around Naruto's age, a white and green kimono and headband that kept her black hair in a formal bun. She had white skin but not pale in anyway and light green eyes that seemed to stare around the room.

"Mister Bei-Fong, we were expecting you." Minato greeted the man.

"Likewise, originally we wanted to keep out of the war but the Earth King told us of the benefits and we have heard of Lightning Realm's triumphs in the war." Lao Bei-Fong shook Minato's hand.

"This is my wife Kushina and our son Naruto." Kushina and Naruto bowed respectably at each other's name.

"You have a wonderful family, this is my wife Poppy and our daughter Toph." Both Poppy and Toph bowed with Poppy helping her daughter.

After the introductions Minato then led them to the dining room and as the family sat Naruto noticed that he was sitting across form Toph at the table.

'Oh man, another marriage proposal. At least Yue-chan was nice to know and fun to have company with but this girl has been silent all day.' Naruto thought.

'I can't believe I was talked into this, and looking at this guy's aura he isn't much interested either. I bet if they noticed I was blind they would call off the proposal.' Toph thought.

As the families placed their orders Naruto decided to try to at least know his potential bride.

"Hi I'm Naruto," Naruto offered a hand across to Toph.

Toph had to feel around, which earned a sweatdrop from Naruto before she found his hand. "Toph, Toph Bei-Fong."

After recovering from the awkwardness Naruto noticed that Toph's eyes were slightly clouded. 'She's blind. That's a new one.'

Before Naruto could ask the food arrived and the dinner began and all talking was stopped. As Naruto ate his duck (since he was not allowed to have ramen at formal dinners) he began to forget his question.

In about an hour dinner was finished and the group stood from the table.

"Naruto, why don't you show Toph around the compound while we talk okay." Minato asked.

Naruto nodded then offered Toph his hand, Toph (reluctantly) took it and they both were on their way. Minato then turned back to Lao.

"Now let's discuss the alliance."

-(With Naruto and Toph)-

Naruto took Toph to the garden and they both sat on the porch.

"You seem to have an easy time walking." Naruto said as he sat.

"Well you were leading me and holding my hand." Toph replied.

"I let go of your hand halfway, I didn't want to ask but how are you able to see?" Naruto asked.

Toph just stood. "None of your business!"

"Fine didn't know it was a secret bun-head." Naruto didn't know what mistake he made.

"What did you call me!" Toph both asked and yelled.

"Bun-head! Is that a problem!" Naruto yelled back.

Toph just stomped the ground and Naruto narrowly dodged a face sized rock.

"You could have hit me you know!" Naruto yelled.

"That's the point urchin-head!" Toph shrugged to the right and another rock flew.

This time Naruto caught the rock. "Fine, I'll apologize. No reason to chuck rocks at me."

Toph seemed satisfied so she dropped the rock she was about to bend.

"Earthbending huh?" Naruto asked as he calmed down.

"Yeah, I have been bending in secret from my parents. They see me as a blind defenseless girl." Toph said as she sat down. "I ran away from home once when I was little and found a badgermole cave. They taught me how to feel the earth's vibrations that let me see and earthbend."Toph then looked to Naruto. "I bet you see me as a weak girl too?"

"After almost losing my head no, but even before I knew there was something different about you and it wasn't your eyes. My Kaa-san taught how to feel people's bioenergy for some of my techniques. Yours had a bit of earth mixed into it." Naruto explained.

"You can tell all that just by feeling my energy?" Toph asked.

"Yeah, all I saw about your eyes were they were unique. Like two emeralds are your eyes, and they were cloudy like a full moon." Naruto said

Toph felt her cheeks warm up after she heard that and was about to say something until Kushina found them.

"I'm sorry you two but Toph your family are expected to be leaving soon tonight." Kushina said.

"Ah man, well Toph-chan it was good getting to know you." Naruto said to Toph.

"Toph-chan?" She asked

"It's a way to say that were friends." Naruto said.

Toph began to blush again and Kushina just shook her head at Naruto's obliviousness. 'Like father like son.'

As Kushina led Toph back to her parents Minato walked up behind Naruto.

"So how was it?" Minato asked.

"She's nothing like Yue-chan but in a good way, she seems like a fun person to be with." Naruto admitted.

"Well I'm sure you'll see her soon." Minato said.

-(With the Bei-Fongs)-

Toph was walking with her parents before she felt a note in her kimono obi. As she reached for it she remembered she couldn't read it and called one of the maids.

"Excuse me can you read this to me?" Toph asked the woman.

"Of course." Toph handed her the note.

Dear Toph-chan

I know you can't read this so you must have someone read it to you. I know we both don't like the arrangement but I want to ask if we can start as friends before we worry about this contract.

Have fun with your skills Gaia-hime (Earth Princess). Until we meet again

Naruto Namikaze

"Excuse me milady but what are these skills your friend mentioned?" The maid asked.

Toph just smirked with a light blush on her cheeks.

"Just a game that we made up." Toph answered.

'And we'll defiantly meet again.' Toph promised herself.

TBC…
