Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Legend of Korra.
A/N: Thank you all for the support from the first chapter. I really didn't expect this to be that well received. Real quick though, I will go ahead and say this once. Naruto will not be capable of bending sub elements nor will he have the Rinnegan! However I just saw on the internet that an Avatar from the fire nation could bend lava. Just by making him capable of bending all four is enough. I will also say no harem either. Strictly Naruto/Korra. That is all.
Chapter 2: The Shock Hasn't Set In
"What?"
They were just staring at him. It was driving him crazy. And what were they wearing! They weren't even in the medical aprons he knows that the med nin's wore. There is the granny who was wearing a big blue coat with white fur lining it like the Nidaime Hokage. Then there was the attractive one with chocolate skin and blue eyes. She was wearing long forearm bracers and a brace on her right bicep. She was in fur lined boots and a fur lined sash draped over her blue baggy pants. There was also a light blue sleeveless... very tight, form fitting shirt... and he is in his boxers! Well if he was going to go down, he is going down swinging.
"Oi! Say something!" he yells out. "I know I am sexy, but I am not speechless sexy!" Oh he just had to open his big mouth. "Why am I half naked anyway?" He internally smirked that he just diverted a possible apocalyptic beating. The cute girl may not look like a ninja but she sure as hell looks like she could kick his ass.
Then the granny spoke up. "You are like that because the cloths you were in were wet, torn, and had blood on it. We had someone burn them for you."
"Why would you do that?" Naruto said in disbelief. The granny just shrugged her shoulders. Damnit. "Well do you have any spare clothes? I find it very awkward that to talk to a granny and a cute girl in my underwear." Said cute girl just developed a blush.
The granny though just chuckled and left through the flaps... leaving a half-naked Naruto with a fully clothed cute girl. He wishes it would be the other way around.
Naruto, seeing that he had nothing else to do, decides to meditate.
Korra's Perspective
Korra watched this man into a cross-legged position, close his eyes, and put his hands into upside down position with his knuckles touching and the tips of his fingers touching the palms of his hands. It was odd because she had seen Tenzin do meditation but, this guy was doing a different kind of meditation. She had never seen this position before.
So now that this guy is meditating, the quiet in the air is now so awkward. She wanted to leave, but she did not want to seem rude. But if he is an actual practitioner of meditation then he wouldn't even realize that she had left.
With that thought she tries to tip toe out.
"You really don't have to tip toe. I am a ninja, nobody can sneak better than me," a drone came out before she reached the flap.
Wait a minute... "Ninja?" she said.
"Yea, ninja," he replied, getting out of his meditative position. "Don't you know about the Fourth Ninja War going on right now? I mean who have you been treating in this med tent?"
Korra's eyes widened at that. The war! Her vision where this guy was fighting those two men! "Wait, wait, wait..." she puts both her hands in a stop position. "There is no war right now! We just pulled you out of a block of ice!"
Several emotions went on with the blond man's face. The biggest one is disbelief, which is the one that his face was stuck in. That is until his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell forward.
Korra stared at him for several seconds before rushing over to the man to check to see if he is alright. 'OK,' she thought trying to remain calm. 'Pulse is probably the first thing that needs checking. There is the pulse! Good, now what is next? Breathing?' she pauses and flips the man over to check if he is breathing. 'Breathing!'
Her thoughts were interrupted by the opening of the flaps behind her to reveal Katara holding a bundle of clothes for the man.
"Katara!" the female Avatar exclaims. "I don't know what happened but he is still breathing." Katara just gives Korra a look that said 'spill it'. It is really hard to deny this woman what she wants. "I might... have told him... that he was... just-pulled-from-the-ice-block!"
The old waterbender lets a large sigh of frustration. The girl just has no tact! She couldn't even put words together at the moment to tell Korra off at the moment. Pointing towards the flap, Korra got the gesture and left in a hurry, followed by a red blur.
Quick Katara's Perspective
Waving her hand she bends the water to surround the man's body up to his neck in water. Waving her hand one more time, she uses the water to carry the man and set him back over to the table. She retracts the water back into the bucket in the room and uses some of it that she left to run a diagnostic on what happened.
The man really should not have gotten up so soon, let alone be told he was just in an ice prison for who knows how long. He most likely doesn't even know the current date.
Naruto's Dream
Naruto got up groggily and let out a grunt as the noise of battle ringed in his ears. Blinking the dust from his eyes he gets up and realizes he wasn't in the tent anymore and he was dressed back in his awesome jumpsuit.
Looking around to regain his bearings he sees no one around. But where is the battle? The sounds of it are still going on.
"Hello?" Naruto spoke out. The noise got louder and he was able to tell that there were no clangs of metal like there should be. Just the sound of screams and metal cutting through flesh. "Hold on! I am coming, datebayo!" Naruto starts running as fast as he can towards the noise, only to come to a stop at a cliff and look down to see Obito slaughtering everyone.
"OI! TEME!" Naruto yells out jumping down and throwing a kunai that just phases right through him. Obito just ignores him and keeps slaughtering all of Naruto's comrades. Naruto charges straight forward, letting out a yell and throws a punch right at him... and he fell forward like he completely missed.
Naruto looks behind him to see Obito still going at it. Getting up, Naruto charges forward again, this time tears staining his face. Only this time his fist connected with something. Opening his eyes he sees his fist has connected with a block of ice and Madara placing a tag on it.
"This will be my last act," stated the revived Uchiha, who no longer had the tell tale signs of Edo Tensei. There were cuts on his face and armor now. Naruto surmises Rinne Tensei must have been used. "Out of everyone I have fought you were the most persistent and annoying ninja I have come across. But you are also the strongest. With you being able to dispel the genjutsu that encompassed the entire world, there will be no way for you to live. However, because you were the strongest, I will make sure you live, but it will come at a price. You will be sealed in this ice and no one will be able to remove that tag for many years." Placing the tag on the ice, Madara walks away, only for a spectral fist to go inside his gut and his soul being pulled out.
End Dream
Naruto's eyes shoot wide open as he sits upright, gasping for air, like he had been drowning. All of his memories of what had happened in the final stages of the last battle came rushing back to him. Looking around fanatically he reaches out and grabs the coat lying on the table next to the bed he was on.
Ignoring the surprise of the granny that was in the room, he quickly puts on the blue, fur lined coat and runs out of the tent.
Naruto was such in a panic when he stopped running he couldn't tell that he was barefoot in the snow. Looking around he sees he is in a fortress. The walls were made entirely out of snow and ice and there were several watch towers. "What the hell is this? Was I really in ice?"
Naruto then feels the snow shifting beneath him and realizes someone was bending! He had thought only he could do that.
Too caught up in his surprise, an ice prison formed around him. Quickly regaining his composure, Naruto bends the ice back into water and runs out. Ignoring the cries to have him to stop, he waterbends a portion of wall and runs out of the base.
Naruto kept running and running. He couldn't believe it. If... if he was in ice, then for how long? Is everyone dead? So many thoughts were going through Naruto's head that he doesn't even realize he was coming up to a cliff. But just before he would fall of the edge a wall of ice rises from the snow, knocking him down.
"Ow, ow, ow," Naruto says as he clutches his head and sits up. "I don't remember bending water."
"You can thank me for saving your life later," a smug voice sounds out from behind him. Turning around he sees the very cute girl from the medical tent. "Just consider that payback for when I walked into your block of ice."
"Oi! How did you waterbend?" Naruto replies. He was at his wits end here. If what he thinks she might say is true, then this is going to be a very long night.
"Geez some apology that was," she says with a twitch in her eye. "Did manners exist in your time?" This time it was his turn to be annoyed. "I can waterbend because I am from the Southern Water Tribe. But I am also the Avatar." Naruto freezes up at that. "My name is Korra by the way." The now named Korra walks up to him and sticks out her hand.
Naruto stares at the hand for a while before sticking his own hand out and shaking hers. "I-I am Naruto Uzumaki."
Korra smiles at him. "Lets get you out of the cold then, Naruto."
As they were walking in silence, Naruto has many thoughts going through his head. The most prevalent of thoughts were a particular memory of...
Flashback (last one this chapter)
A 15 year old Naruto was looking at the old Toad Sage with rapt attention. Pervy Sage said it was an honor to have prophecy to be made to him like this so he wasn't going to miss out on this. However, he was not being patient about it because...
"WAKE UP REALLY OLD GEEZER TOAD!" the old toad was asleep! Naruto could see the snot bubble!
Jiraiya, who was standing next to him, just face palmed. "Naruto," he ground out, "you have to be patient with him. He may be really old but he has personally requested you be here. You have no idea how rare it is for a summoner to be brought here by request."
"I would be patient if he wasn't asleep!" Naruto responds. "We could be training right now. I still have more to learn from the dragons!"
"Who are you?" the toad sage asks as he wakes up. Naruto stood at attention at the old toad waking up.
Jiraiya steps forward. "This is Naruto Uzumaki, the ninja you asked for, Great Toad Sage."
Naruto lets out a cough that sounds much like "Kiss-ass".
"Ah yes, the Child of Prophecy." Naruto already knew about this prophecy. Pervy Sage had told him about how he was supposed to bring peace to the world and all that. "After you finish your training trip, you must write of the peace you seek. Your words of peace will reach ears for 10,000 years." This got Naruto pretty down and excited at the same time. Writing... yuck. "You will have an eternal student. He will take the title of the Avatar and a cycle of balance shall be started." At this is when the toad fell asleep again.
Jiraiya quickly grabbed Naruto and dragged him out of the Toad Sage's hut before Naruto rudely wakes him up again.
"Naruto," Jiraiya says in a serious tone, "you cannot tell anyone about this prophecy." Naruto gained a look of confusion. "If word were to get out that you have to find a student to teach the way you manipulate-"
"It's called~, super awesome bending!"
"Riiiight. If you people knew you were looking for a student to pass down the teachings of your bending, you would be hounded for it."
"But we don't even know who it is! And I have to write a book!"
"Well that is the easy part. Finding a student for you could take years. Your student might not even be born yet, so the best idea is to wait that one out."
End Flashback
'And even after four years after that, I still couldn't find the student,' Naruto thought. His thought trail ended with the feeling of a weight on his shoulder. Turning his head, he sees a familiar fox, except he is chibi-fied and only had one tail. "Oi Kurama! Mind telling me what is going on?"
Korra was in her own musings when the fox now named Kurama appeared on Naruto's shoulder. She is quite puzzled that he would ask the fox a question when they can't talk... can they? She has never met one before. Besides if it did talk, she can't be surprised anymore, she's tapped out for surprises for one day.
"We were frozen in ice for an absurd amount of time kit," ok so they can talk... or just this one. "The map that I saw is different from the Elemental Nations."
"Different how?" Naruto replies. Korra is listening to this conservation with rapt attention now, wishing to know how long Naruto was in the ice.
"There is no relation of the land masses here to the Elemental Nations," this brought some confusion to both human's present. "We were in that ice for so long that the geography the world has shifted. Nothing looks even remotely familiar to what the Nations used to. It has to have been at least over 10,000 years."
"WHAAAAAAAAT?" yells out both Naruto and Korra. "Over 10,000 years?" this was just Naruto. "Then what happened to the village? I was supposed to be Hokage! I was supposed to have a student who would keep the world in balance!"
There were too many things being spoken for Korra to keep her mouth shut. "Wait, wait, wait... There are lots of things I need to know! Like what was the war I saw you fighting in my vision when you being unfrozen?!"
Naruto looks at her with a confused expression. "How do you know about the war?" Naruto may be dense, but he is not stupid. If he was frozen in ice for as long as Kurama says, then the war should be long over.
"I had a vision of you and an army fighting against two very evil looking guys. The guys on your side were bending but it looked like they weren't... They were just directing the elements. Only you were bending. One of the evil guys looked like the devil and a monk crossed over and the other just looked mean, but he had a lot of hatred."
Naruto looked at his fox friend for a minute and back at Korra. "The Fourth Ninja War..." Naruto sighs. "Those two guys we were fighting were Madara and Obito Uchiha. They were attempting to control the world through a worldwide illusion. The five Elemental Nations did not wish for peace in the form of an illusion. Peace is only brought about through understanding one another, something that I believe that was only one step away if we won the war. My memory gets really fuzzy after I dispelled the genjutsu, the illusion. I have recently had a flash of what might have happened, but I am not sure if it is completely accurate. Because of the amount of chakra I used to dispel the illusion, I would have died if I was not frozen in ice."
"What is chakra?"
"What is chakra? It is the combination spiritual energy and physical energy that is used for bending. I later learned where the ability to meld the two energies together came from, but it is way too complicated to explain." They both stopped and saw they were at a gate. "It looks like we're back at the fortress."
Korra looks up to see that they have indeed arrived at the fortress. It also it appears they went ahead and repaired the hole in the wall that Naruto had made. That probably took all of the White Lotus' waterbenders to repair the ice wall. He made a BIG hole and the fortress walls are massive and even she couldn't bend the ice wall that well. This was a testament to how much power this Naruto had over the elements.
"So, how can you bend all the elements?" Korra asks before they reach the gate.
"I trained," Naruto answered plainly. "For four years total I trained my ass off. A sage gave a prophecy that I would bring balance to the world by mastering Water, Air, Fire, and Earth in ways the likes of which have never been seen in the world. At first it was difficult because I had no one to teach me, but I found the animals that possessed the ability to bend naturally and I learned from them. Water was the most difficult because I had no idea what animal taught waterbending. My godfather and master said that the oceans and the seas are controlled by the moon. So I traveled to the northern and southern most part of the world where I got in touch with the spirits. The moon and ocean spirits were the ones who taught me how to waterbend. I was supposed to pass down my knowledge to a student but that never happened." Naruto looks downcast here. "The war happened and eventually I was locked in ice just to keep me alive."
Korra was quickly getting depressed from Naruto's explanation. "You… must miss your family."
"I miss my friends yes, but I never had any family."
Korra winced at that. 'Nice going Korra,' she thought to herself. "Alright it's obvious I cannot help the situation so I am going to shut up now."
Naruto let out a laugh as they walk through the gate. "Don't worry about it Korra. I'm sure it will hit home soon, but right now I would like-," he was interrupted by a large growling noise. Naruto stops and develops a blush as he chuckles sheepishly. "I guess I would like some food. Got any ramen?"
Then Korra said the three words that he knew would haunt him for a long time. "What is ramen?"
"NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
A/N: Again Naruto will not have the Rinnegan! So get over it.
So leave reviews please, it's just good manners.
