Chapter 10 Who are you?
Sakura knelt over her three wounded people in front of her; one she knew all too well and knew what to do. Naruto had fought back the demon chakra of the Kyuubi which took most of his own chakra, he only needed rest. The second was a 16 year old male which suffered from multiple burns on his hands and legs, the most noticeable mark was an old third degree burn on his face covering on side of his face by the eye. He was hurt but stable, which couldn't be said of the last person. A 12 year old girl who suffered from a wound to the chest which was caused by a kunai strike only a few millimeters off from the bottom of her heart, while the blow hadn't hit any organs or veins but one mistake and the heart would be damaged beyond repair.
"Who are you?" asked the girl who was attempting to heal someone with water justu instead of chakra, however that justu had worked in stabilizing the surrounding area of the wound keeping it clean of germs and starting the healing process but she would have likely hurt the heart.
"Sakura Haruno." answered Sakura as she worked on the healing the wound. "And if you want to help, work on healing the guy with the burns."
For a moment Katara looked at the injured Zuko before looking at Sakura.
"I'll work on the other guy." Said Katara as she moved toward Naruto.
"Naruto is fine, the other guy is hurt more so work on him." ordered Sakura
"Avatar Roku sent you." said Aang as he held his shoulder, trying to hide the wound he got from Sasuke's blade, however blood was soaking though the wound and the lack of adriline was making the pain rise every moment.
"Yes, we came for Sasuke." said Sakura as she looked toward the 12 year old bald boy, she could see the blood around his shoulder "And will you let me heal your wound."
"Your injured?" asked Katara as she saw the blood running down Aang's side. "Why didn't you tell me."
"The others where worst." answered Aang as Sakura rolled her eyes before covering her hand with chakra.
"Come here, I will heal that wound in a minute." said Sakura
"Wait…what is covering your arm?" asked Katara as Sakura raised an eyebrow
"Chakra." answered Sakura as she looked at the confused faces "You guys don't know what chakra is?"
"Is that how Sasuke is able to lightening bend?" asked Sokka
"In a way, chakra is a natural energy within everyone." said Sakura "Though training a ninja is able to mold chakra into different forms. Normally a person body tends to have a favorite also known as natural element type. Sasuke's is lightening meaning he can create lightening justu's that are very strong with ease, while Naruto's is wind type meaning his strength lies with wind justus."
"So does Sasuke come from the land of lightening and Naruto the air nation?" asked Suki as Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"No, all three of us come from the Leaf village in the land of fire." said Sakura
"Your fire nation?" asked Katara as she backed off and prepared for a fight on Appa's back.
"Ya, fire country." said Sakura
"But Naruto used air." said Aang "How can he be from fire nation?"
"We aren't divided by that." said Sakura "There are fire chakra users in water country and water users in Earth country."
"What are you?" asked Katara
"I never got tested to see what type of chakra I have. I am a doctor, I use my chakra to heal first." answered Sakura as she placed a hand on Aang's shoulder. Almost instantly the wound started to heal "A sword strike with lightening burns around it, not that bad."
"Not that bad!" yelled Katara
"No organs were hit and it was a thin wound." Explained Sakura "Some healing chakra and rest and it should be totally fine in a couple of days."
"But what about that red what did you call it?" asked Suki as Sakura tensed up.
"Chakra." answered Katara
"Ya, what is up with that?" asked Suki
"I can't tell you that." answered Sakura as the others looked at her "That is Naruto's secret and if he trusts you he will tell you, if not he will not."
"Then how can we trust you?" asked Katara
"They did just save our lives." Stated Sokka which seamed to ease Katara's mind.
"What about Toph, is she going to be ok?" asked Suki
"I just finished sealing the wound, the skin will be soft for a bit but fine." Explained Sakura as a moan filled the air as Naruto opened his deep blue eyes and sat up.
"Were am I?" asked Naruto as he looked out at the passing clouds.
"Naruto are you alright?" asked Sakura
"I have been better." said Naruto as he rubbed his head "That damn dirty …"
"Naruto not here." ordered Sakura as Naruto looked around at the new faces and stopped talking about the demon fox.
"Who are you all?" asked Naruto
"I think it would be best if we land somewhere and talk this all out." said Suki
"There is a small island up head, I'll land us there." said Aang
Meanwhile Sasuke had just finished walking up the side of the cliff to stand with on the Azula looking out to see. Ty Lee was still being held up by Mai but was using more of her own power to do so.
"Who where those people?" asked Ty Lee as she looked at the damages from the battle.
"My former teammates Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno." answered Sasuke as he dusted some dirt off his cloths and looked out to sea, he could try to follow them but that beast had disappeared into some cloud cover and with no real ability to trail someone in the air, he would waste more time than anything else.
"So we are dealing with more people like you." said Ty Lee "More Ninjas."
"No not like me." answered Sasuke as he crossed his arms "I am far stronger than either one of those two weaklings."
"Didn't look that way just then." said Mai as Sasuke glared at her but reframed from hurting her.
"Ya, that cute blound hair guy had that weirld red chi." Stated Ty Lee
"That isn't Naruto's chakra that is someone's elses." stated Sasuke as Mai and Ty Lee looked at him, only Azula understood what he meant. "That is the chakra you saw, if he didn't have that in him he would be dead by now."
"You will be ready next time, in the mean time we need to hunt them down and get the Avatar." said Azula
"The Avatar isn't my goal anymore, I will find my Naruto kill him and get the information in need to get home out of Sakura." said Sasuke "He came to get me which means he knows how to go back to my world
"They will be with the Avatar so we can work together." stated Azula as Sasuke nodded his head.
"Do you think they would head to the North Pole?" asked Mai "That is the only thing in that direction."
"We will find out but it is likely." said Azula before she smiled and looked at Sasuke "Sasuke how would you like to crush an entire nation with one attack."
"What are you thinking Azula?" asked Ty Lee
"If they are heading to the North Pole we must move up the time table for invasion." said Azula "And with Sasuke's help we could destroy the Northern water tribe capital in a day."
"Very well." said Sasuke
Meanwhile Toph had just awoken as they all landed on a small island.
"Thank you, I am on the ground again." said Toph as she jumped off Appa and landed on the firm ground. She took a step only to grab the area around her heart "That hurts."
"Toph be careful, you almost died!" yelled Katara at her friend.
"Key word is almost." said Toph "it's so nice to see things again."
"Why couldn't you see anything before?" asked Naruto as he looked the girl
"Because I am blind." said Toph as she pointed at her pale eyes. "Do you think I can see with eyes like these?"
"One of my friends Hinata has eyes like those and she sees fine in fact better then fine thanks to the Byakugan." said Naruto
"How dare Naruto-kun bring up that stalker?" stated Inner Sakura as Sakura silently agreed with her inner self.
"Byakugan?" asked Zuko as his skin still hurt from the burns.
"It's a bloodline ability that allows her to see though everything all around her at once." said Sakura
"Is that the same thing that Sasuke Uchiha has with the red eyes?" asked Suki
"No, that is the Sharingan." said Naruto "Different bloodline ability, that can copy anything it sees that isn't a bloodline ability plus he can see the smallest detail."
"Do you two have a bloodline ability?" asked Katara
"In a way." said Sakura "Every woman in my family has pink hair."
"I thought it was just stained that way?" asked Suki as Katara nodded in agreement.
"No, it is all natural." said Sakura
"What about you?" asked Zuko to Naruto
"I don't have any…well that I am aware of that least." explained Naruto "Now who are all you guys?"
"Well I am the brave and highly trained warrior of the Water tribe Sokka." said Sokka as Naruto and Sakura just looked at him, trying to fight back laughter.
"Ignore my brother, he can be like that." said Katara "I am Katara and I am the avatar's water bending teacher."
"You where trying to heal with water?" asked Sakura
"Ya, I am a healer." said Katara
"Maybe I can help you with that, I was trained by the best medical ninja in our world, I am sure we can improve your skills." said Sakura as she looked toward the black haired young man standing beside Katara. "You look like one of the girls who were attacking you, the one in the armor."
"Azula, she is my younger sister." said Zuko as he looked down at the ground "I am Zuko, prince of the Fire Nation."
"I see, so you sided with the Avatar?" asked Naruto
"After a while and a lot of mistakes I did." answered Zuko
"Well enough of Mr. downer, I am Toph and I am the best Earth bender ever to be born." said Toph
"Suki, nice to meet you." added Suki
"Lastly I am Aang." said Aang
"The avatar right?" asked Sakura
"Yes, and the last member of the air nomads." said Aang as he lowered his head.
"The last?" asked Naruto
"My people were destroyed in the opening moments of the war over a hundred years ago." said Aang
"A hundred years ago?" asked Sakura "You can't be any older then thirteen years old."
"To save myself from drowning I froze myself in a block of ice before the war started." explained Aang "Later Katara and Sokka unfroze me."
"I see." said Sakura "Freezing would preserve all your cells but defrosting them would be hard."
"Cells?" asked Sokka
"You know cells, the basic organizing that makes up every living thing?" said Sakura before seeing the confused looks "Never mind."
"Sakura-chan I almost forgot I have to try and summon that old toad." Said Naruto
"Old toad?" asked Aang
"Naruto is a toad summoner." explained Sakura as everyone just looked at her. "We can summon different creatures into battle, Naruto can summon toad, I can call on the slugs and Sasuke can summon snakes."
"Wait he can summons snakes?" said Sokka
"He should be able to but since we are in another world he may not be able too, which means we can't as well." said Sakura as Naruto bit his thumb drawing a bit of blood. He quickly ran though hand signs before slamming his hand on the ground. The avatar's gangs eyes widened as a puff of smoke filled the air, when it cleared a small green toad with white hair and a dark grey robe stood there.
"It worked." said Naruto with a smile
"That is it? A small toad?" asked Sokka as the toad turned and looked at him.
"Size is not everything." stated the toad as Sokka and everyone else eyes widened. "Looks like my plan to bring me to this world worked."
"Yes, Lord Fukasaku it worked." said Sakura
"Lord?" asked Suki
"At over 815 years old I am one of the elder toads of my country and the one who trained Naruto's sensei in the art of sage." said Fukasaku
"Alright this is getting weirder and weirder." said Toph
"I hate to point this out but we can't stay on this island." said Toph "It's too small and from what I can see."
"But where to go?" asked Suki "That Sasuke is after us and with Azula leading him to the places we would hide everywhere we go will would be in danger."
"Sasuke and this Azula are looking for you outside their own home area correct?" said Fukasaku
"Am I the only one still confused about a talking Toad?" asked Sokka as Fukasaku rolled his eyes.
"Ya, the Earth kingdom and maybe the water tribe." said Katara
"Then hid in their home." said Fukasaku "They will not look for you there, if the enemy is looking for you amongst your allies then you should hid in his backyard."
"What is he talking about?" asked Sokka "He wants us to hide inside Azula's back yard? What does that mean?"
"The Fire Nation." said Zuko as everyone looked at him.
"Correct." Said Fukasaku "It would be the last place they would look."
"But Sasuke is a ninja wouldn't he know about hiding in the Fire Nation." said Suki
"Sasuke may be good in combat but he was never good in think like the prey, hiding isn't his style and he knows it." said Sakura
"There is one place inside the fire nation Azula wouldn't look." said Zuko as everyone looked at him "My family's old beach house on Ember Island."
"A beach house sounds fun." said Suki
"It's in the fire nation." stated Katara "We need to be heading away from that place not toward it."
"Stop being a worrywart Katara, its all good." said Toph
"I agree it may just be the best place to hid." said Suki as she looked toward the setting sun "However let's wait until sunrise to head out, I think everyone could use some rest."
"What it's almost night?" asked Naruto as looked at his digital watch, he pressed a button which made it light up in the fading darkness "It's only two in the afternoon."
"What is that?" asked Sokka
"It's my watch." said Naruto
"I know but how it is so small?" asked Sokka "What powers it? How does it glow?"
"A battery." Said Naruto
"What is a battery?" asked Sokka only to get punched by Katara and Suki on the back of the head.
"Forgive my brother, he fantasy himself an inventor." said Katara
"I am an inventor." said Sokka
"This place must be a few hours ahead of us." said Sakura
"Or longer, what time of year is it?" asked Fukasaku "It is warmer than it should be."
"Late summer." said Aang
"Alright we are a few months behind you then." said Sakura "Winter just ended in the Leaf village. Just another thing to get used to I guess in this new world."
