Hello!

The is a pairing JJP123. The title even hints at it.

Disclaimer: I don't own either the characters or series from Naruto and Legend of Korra.

P.S. does anyone else wonder what the next harmonic convergence will be like? I mean if there will even be any more struggles for dominance, will they be fending off Vaatu with orbital laser strikes?

Chapter Two

Republic City Police Headquarters

"Sooooo… I can honestly say that this is the nicest interrogation room I've ever been in." Naruto stated truthfully as he examined their surroundings.

Currently they were sitting in what was essentially a metal box with a metal table and three chairs. Two of the chairs were occupied by one spunky blonde, and one hot tempered Avatar. The latter of which was silently sulking until she heard what was said.

"Why have you been in interrogation rooms before?" Korra asked with suspicion.

"I have a bad habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time wherever I go." Naruto answered truthfully with a shrug of his shoulders.

Suddenly one of the wall panels split apart and in walked a scowling older woman, her greying hair actually went well with the dull gleam of the metal bender's armor covering her torso and arms. Her boots were also metal armor and under it all was a black uniform. This was Chief Beifong and she was holding a clipboard with what Naruto assumed was their records. The panels closed after she entered. Chief Beifong walked up to the table and began pacing around it trying to act all intimidating.

Naruto was less than impressed. He had fought enemies that could have chewed up the strongest this generation had to offer and spat them out, and that was before the War. Hell his long dead sensei Kakashi had been more intimidating during their genin exam. But it seems that they made hardier people during his time because Korra seemed to be affected, seemingly wanting to melt into her chair.

Chief Beifong, seeing his reaction, or rather lack of decided to ignore him for a moment and focus on her other detainee.

"Let's see, multiple counts of destruction of private and city property, not to mention evading arrest." slamming the clipboard down on the table she continued, "You're in a whole mess of trouble young lady."

"Ooohhhh your in troouubaaalllle!" Naruto teased out while grinning, earning a glare from Korra.

Chief Beifong turned toward Naruto and laid into him, "You're not here to tour the place. You're part of the mess too." she growled hoping to whip the grin off his face. "Obstruction of justice, evading arrest, and assault on an officer. You're not getting off light I can assure you."

It didn't destroy his grin, if anything it seemed to get wider. "What can I say, I couldn't leave a pretty girl to face the music alone." Naruto flattered honestly, earning a blush from Korra.

"Dear Kami it's about time, he haven't even looked at anyone since the death of that timid girl Hinata." Kurama mentally said.

"AAAWWW, are you praying to me now Kurama?" Naruto mentally said back having heard the fox through the connection to each other, hiding the pain her name still brought up despite the long years.

Kurama snorted, "Not now, not ever."

The snort surprised Korra and Chief Beifong. They had assumed that the fox was only a scarf seeing as during the chase and subsequent capture and interrogation, it hadn't moved once, even to breath.

Getting over her surprise quickly Chief Beifong growled out "That's enough out of you lover boy." deflating Naruto slightly.

"Are you sure? I mean I have more, some of them are real doozies." Naruto asked humorously, earning him a glare from Beifong.

Finally Korra spoke up trying to explain herself, "There were some thugs threatening a helpless shopkeeper and I..."

"Can it!" straightening up Chief Beifong continued, "You should have called the police and stayed out of the way."

"But I couldn't just sit by and do nothing, it's my duty to help people. See I'm the Avatar." Korra defended.

"Oh I am well aware of who you are, and your Avatar title might impress some people, but not me." Chief Beifong said with mocking hand gesture on the words 'Avatar title'.

Blinking in surprise Korra continued, "Alright fine, then I want to talk to whoever's in charge."

"You're talking to her." Sitting down in the last chair she continued, "I'm Chief Beifong."

"Wait, Beifong? Lin Beifong? Your Toph's Daughter!" Korra exclaimed in pleasant surprise finally figuring out who she was.

"What of it?" Chief Beifong blew off.

"Well then why are you treating me like a criminal? Avatar Aang and your mother were friends. They saved the world together."

"That's ancient history, and it's got didly squat to do with the mess you're in right now. You can't just waltz in here and dole out vigilante justice like you own the place."

Suddenly, a piece of a wall panel slid aside revealing an officer's face. "Chief, councilman Tenzin is here."

With a sigh and a pause, Chief Beifong said, "Let him in." and stood up.

The entrance panel slide aside and in walked a bald man with a beard, blue arrow tattoos and an Airbending master's garb, Councilman Tenzin.

"Tenzin, sorry. I got a little sidetracked on my way to see you." Korra addressed the man sheepishly.

Inhaling a breath and turning toward Chief Beifong Tenzin began, "Lin you are looking radiant as usual." Laying on the flattery.

"Cut the garbage Tenzin. Why is the Avatar in Republic City? I thought you were supposed to be moving down to the South Pole to train her."

"My relocation has been delayed. The Avatar on the other hand will be heading back to the south pole immediately." Korra looked away ashamed, "Where she will stay put." Tenzin asserted.

"But...!" Korra tried to speak only be cut off.

"If you would be so kind as to drop the charges against Korra. I will take full responsibility of today's regrettable events and cover all the damages."

Looking at Korra briefly, Chief Beifong relented, "Fine, get her out of my city."

"Always a pleasure Lin. Let's go Korra." Tenzin turned away to leave when Naruto spoke up.

"Hey what about me?" Naruto cried indignantly, startling all those in the room. Naruto had put off so little a presence that Korra and Chief Beifong had forgot he was in the room and Tenzin had never even noticed him, though he would never admit it.

Turning to Lin once more he asked, "Why is he in here?"

Korra answered though, "He kind of tried to help me with the officers." Korra explained sheepishly.

Looking rather put off Naruto crossed his arms and turned his head to the side, "They were rather hostile. I felt very threatened." He stated mock seriously.

Sighing again Tenzin spoke to Lin once more, "Would you mind releasing him into my custody, I might be able to teach him some manners."

"If I catch him again it won't be pretty." Chief Beifong growled, annoyed by the blonde.

Tenzin motion for Naruto to follow with which he complied.

As they exited Lin motioned at Korra, I'm watching you, with her hands. Korra, strangely enough, retaliated with the same gesture. Naruto seeing Korra's distracted form used her as the butt of a joke that would soon plague respectable photographers to the end of photography, Moose-bear antlers. The whole thing only took a few seconds but left Korra feeling cocky, Naruto and Kurama sniggering, and Lin Beifong confused.

XXXXXXXXXLINEBREAKLINEBREAKLINEBREAKLINEBREAKXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Standing in the impound office Naruto, Tenzin and Korra waited for an officer to retrieve Naga from wherever they locked her up. As they waited Korra tried desperately to make her case to Tenzin.

"Tenzin please, don't send me back home." Korra pleaded.

"You blatantly disobeyed my wishes and the orders of the White Lotus."

"Kataara agreed with me that I should come." Korra paused briefly, "She said my destiny is in Republic City."

Going all red in the face Tenzin cried out indignantly, "Don't bring my mother into this!"

"He is such a momma's boy." Kurama murmured to Naruto.

"We already knew that." Naruto murmured back.

"Yeah, but not that it was to this extent. I mean that is just pathetic." Kurama murmured with a shake of his head.

"Look I can't wait any longer to finish my training. Being cooped up and hidden away from the world isn't helping me become a better Avatar." Korra tried to rationalize to Tenzin.

"I saw a lot of the city today and it is totally out of whack. I understand now why you need to stay. Republic City does need you, but it needs me too."

"You...uh..."sigh, Tenzin tried to interject.

"Is this your Polar Bear Dog Ms.?" one of the impound officers asked, having walked up to them. He was holding a leash to Naga and was currently having his hair done into a cone due curtesy of Naga's tongue.

"Dude, cool due. You might have better luck with the ladies!" Naruto tried to console him.

"How do you know I don't have any luck with the ladies?" the officer accused pathetically.

"Uuuuuhhhhh, lucky guess?" Naruto said sheepishly rubbing the back of his head, feeling sorry for the guy.

Just then, two more officers hauled a third in, who was tightly bound on Naruto's weighted cable.

"Do you think we can cut it off? I mean it's not metal and I've never seen rope this strong." one officer questioned the other as they stood the bound one up.

Laughing, Naruto walked up to the trio, looked the bound one I the eye and asked, "Have you learned your lesson about being hasty?" Naruto asked rather condescendingly. The target of his tone just thrashed about and cursed angrily into the cable around his mouth.

Chuckling, Naruto continued, "I'll take that as a yes, but next time I let you stew longer." He then pressed a spot on one of the weights and they rapidly unwound from the man and then the cables retracted the weights together to form a palm sized ball, which Naruto pocketed. The ease of use Naruto showed raised Tenain's brow.

The sudden freedom of movement left the officer off balance and tumbling to the ground. Naruto turned and, while still chuckling, led Tenzin, Korra, and Naga out of the station.

Air Temple Island

Disembarking from the ferry onto the Stone docks Naruto, Tenzin, Korra and Naga began moving toward a trio of White Lotus members and a larger ship supposed to carry Korra back to the South Pole.

Naruto and Tenzin stopped halfway but Korra continued until three kids of increasing age flew down toward them on gliders. Jinora the eldest daughter, Ikki the middle daughter, and Meelo, the youngest son, all children of Tenzin.

"Korra!" they called out excitedly as soon as they landed and wrapped themselves around said girl.

"Are you coming to live with us in the island?" Ikki asked excitedly.

"No, I'm sorry Ikki. I have to go home now." Korra answered sadly.

"Aaaawwww!" Ikki moaned

Turning from the kids Korra walked towards the White Lotus with Naga only to be stopped by Tenzin speaking up.

"Wait." he said before he began walking to her.

"I have done my best to guide Republic City towards the dream my father had for it." Tenzin paused briefly before continuing, "But you are right, it has fallen out of balance since he passed. I thought I should put off your training in order to uphold his legacy, but you are his legacy." he said as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "You may stay and train Airbending here with Me." his words drew a gasp from Korra. "Republic City needs its Avatar once again."

"Yes! Thank you! You're the best!" Korra cheered happily.

Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo all cheered as Korra scooped them into her arms and then Tenzin as well. Naga wanting to cuddle as well rubbed her head against Korra's back.

"Well that's a very touching scene." Naruto softly said to Kurama.

"Things almost went south there for a moment, literally" Kurama murmured back.

"Funny." Naruto paused before continuing, "You know that those kids will bug you, even when you're with me."

Seeing Kurama begin to raise his hackles, he squashed his thoughts, "And you can't reveal yourself or harm them in any way."

"Aw not even a little?" Kurama whined.

"No, end of conversation."

All he received was a harrumph of annoyance.

"Hey you wanted to come."

Looking at Tenzin, who was finally released from Korra's grip, Naruto with a sly grin asked, "Soooo... where am I staying?"

"Do you live in the city?"

"Nah, I just got off the boat today. I don't even have a place to stay." Naruto answered as he randomly cleaned his ear with his pinky.

"Well it is against Air Bender doctrine to turn away a weary traveler. I guess you can stay here as well." Tenzin rationalized a reason to keep an eye on him. He just had a feeling about him.

The kids once again cheered, only this time they didn't know why.

XXXXXXXXXLINEBREAKLINEBREAKLINEBREAKLINEBREAKXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sitting in a guest room the next day Naruto sat in a meditative pose on the guest bed and listened to the Avatar on the radio introduce herself to the city at a rally at City Hall. Curled up in a ball at his feet was Kurama, also listening.

"You know, the White Lotus sentries are going to be watching you very closely." Kurama lazily stated, safe to do so in the confines of the room.

"I know, but they won't find anything unless I want them too." Naruto stated seriously.

"Are you going to begin Operation Clean Sweep?"

"No, not tonight. I'll begin tomorrow night. Tonight, I'm going to do some light training and finish preparations. Many things need to be done."

Opening his eyes he looked at his hand, his eyes briefly morphed into the Rinne-Sharingan and back. In his palm a three pronged kunai made of a pitch black material formed from nothing, the seal for the Flying Thunder God Jutsu already inlayed into the handle, indented with white ink.

"After all, this is only the beginning."

Done!

With the first mention being in this chapter, I will be clear on something that anyone who reads this is probably not thinking about. When I do jutsu. I will be doing a slight mix of languages, like Flying Thunder God Jutsu as example. Saying Flying Thunder God Technique is stupid. Also, jutsu that sound stupid in the English translations will be in Japanese…like Rasengan. I will be basing this on my opinions so if you don't like that…sorrypleasedon'thurtme.

Please review.
