Since I've got some interest in this story (thankyou all) here's chapter two!

Chapter 2 – Toph

Toph was getting sick of riding; she wasn't the best when it came to riding on Appa. They hadn't stopped for a break for a few hours and she was hungry, "Are we going to stop anytime soon?" she whined, "We've been flying for five hours straight!"

"Toph please, Sokka only just stopped whinging we don't need you to start too." Katara said, a little exasperated.

"Well since I'm the second to start complaining maybe we should take it as a sign to stop for a break. Plus Appa needs a break too."

"I have to agree with Toph here." Zuko said, "We should stop, stretch our legs."

"And I'm with Zuko and Toph." Suki added.

Katara looked at Aang; he was impatient to get to Konohagakure to see his friend, "Okay fine." Aang, agreed "We have been travelling for a while."

Everyone knew that Aang was eager to arrive, but they all needed this break (especially poor Appa!). Jumping off first, Toph 'saw' the surrounding area, trying to get an idea of wherever they were, "There's quite a big city about half an hour away. I'm not sure if it's Konohagakure or not but it probably is." She explained.

"Yes we're almost there!" Aang said happily, "I can't wait for you all to meet Naruto he's a great person!"

Whilst the others were sitting, Toph was walking around them trying to get a sense of this new area which was very different from their home. She couldn't understand why this place was called 'The Land of Fire' when they were in the middle of a forest. When everyone was ready they all hopped back up on Appa, Aang was now getting him to fly quite quickly as he was eager to arrive. After roughly twenty minutes (Aang got Appa to fly that fast he cut the trip by ten minutes) they were finally at Konohagakure! When Toph jumped off she saw three people standing at the gate, one of them must've been Aang's friend Naruto. Though judging by the way Aang flew off Appa and yelled 'NARUTO!' one of those people had to be him.

"I still don't get why we're in a forest if this is called the Land of Fire." Toph mumbled as they approached Aang with Naruto and the two other people.

"Guys this is Naruto!" Aang said when everyone approached each other; Toph wondered what he looked like.

"Hey how's it going?" Naruto asked.

Toph was about to say something when suddenly the girl standing behind Naruto punched him which sent him flying through the air! Toph was liking the girl already.

"That is not how you greet someone!" she chastised, Toph's liking of this girl suddenly vanished, she reminded Toph of Katara.

Naruto slowly came walking back to the group; Toph could feel Sokka and Aang shaking slightly, what an introduction she thought, two minutes in and mostly everyone is already scared of the girl.

Aang, wanting to ease the sudden tension introduced Naruto to his friends. When Aang introduced Toph Naruto yelled out, "Whoa check out her eyes! Do you think she could be a Hyuga?" Naruto was reminding Toph of a more hyperactive, annoying version of Aang.

"How is that possible Naruto? Toph isn't from here." The boy standing near the girl said.

"But still, her eyes." The girl added.

"Excuse me but what is a Hyuga? And my eyes are like that because I am blind."

"Oh I'm terribly sorry!" the girl said, "Hyuga is a family here; their eyes are almost exactly like yours."

"Are they blind too?" Toph asked.

"Oh no! They can see through everything with their eyes, it's their speciality, and only the Hyuga family is able to do it."

Toph found this place really weird, what kind of family had the same eyes as her yet they could see through everything?

"Sorry what are your names?" Katara asked politely.

That question earned Naruto another punch from Sakura, Toph felt Sokka backing away slightly.

"Sorry everyone." Naruto mumbled when he came walking back to them, "This here is Sakura Haruno and this here is Sai."

Even if Toph couldn't see it was pretty obvious that the girl was Sakura and the boy was Sai.

"Come one guys, let's show you around the village!" Naruto said and he ran ahead, with Aang close behind him.

Toph was walking along next to Zuko when Sakura fell into step with them, "So you're the leader of your country?" she asked Zuko.

Sighing, Toph rolled her eyes. Judging by Sakura's heartbeat she felt for Zuko the same way many of the Fire Nation girls did.

"Wow that's really something!" Sakura said, "And how old are you?"

"Sixteen"

"Oh cool that's the same age as me!"

"Wow you two have so much in common already, I think it's a sign!" Toph said sarcastically before walking ahead to join Katara.

She turned back to face Zuko and smirked. Oh yes, she knew of Zuko's secret feelings towards a certain waterbender. The infamous Fire Lord bachelor was smitten, Toph could feel it in his heartbeat, it took her a while to guess it though. She was certain that Zuko knew she had guessed his feelings, but they never talked about it. After all, Toph wasn't going to tell Katara. Oh no, Toph was going to have too much fun watching it play out (whenever it will start).

Their first stop was at the place where the leader of the village lived, the 'Hokage' the leader was called.

"Hey what are those head statues?" Sokka asked.

"That's all the previous Hokage, except for the one on the far right, that's Lady Tsunade, the current Hokage and my mentor." Sakura explained.

"Yeah and one day the sculpture of my face will be up there!" Naruto added.

"Still got that dream have you?" Aang asked.

"Always!"

When they went inside and up to the Hokage's office, Sakura introduced everyone to Lady Tsunade.

"And welcome to Konoha!" Tsunade said, "I assume everything has been organised, where they'll be staying and who they'll be training with?" she asked Sakura.

"Oh yes ma'am, I've even organised for them to go to Sunagakure to train with Temari. Since Aang here can use all four elements, it would be essential for him to go to Temari."

"Well done Sakura!" Tsunade said, "Now you three go take them around the village, introduce them to your friends I'm sure they don't want to stay up here."

"Oh wait one question Lady Tsunade?" Toph asked.

"Yes what is it?"

"How come this country is called the Land of Fire if we're in a forest?"

Laughing, Tsunade answered, "The Land of Fire is naturally orientated to the element of fire, we usually have bright and warm weather."

"Wow that's different from the Fire Nation." Toph said.

"I'm sorry?" Tsunade asked.

Zuko took over, "Where I'm from is called the Fire Nation, it's surrounded by volcanoes, many still active. The main city is located within a crater from a volcano."

After saying goodbye to Tsunade, Naruto, Sai and Sakura took them around the rest of the village. Their first stop was at a holiday home where they quickly dropped their bags off, they left Appa there to rest after his long flight and Momo stayed behind as well. After that they stopped at a flower shop. Sakura went inside and after a few quick moments she brought someone out.

"This is my friend Ino Yamanaka." Sakura introduced.

When she introduced Zuko Toph sighed yet again, oh great this Ino girl was gaga over Zuko just like Sakura was.

They continued around the village, meeting a lot of Naruto and Sakura's friends, a lot of them pointing out Toph's eyes. When they were with two people called Rock Lee and Tenten and Rock Lee pointed out Toph's eyes and the Hyuga clan was when she snapped, "What is with it with my eyes and this Hyuga clan? Last time I checked my name was Toph Bei Fong, not Toph Hyuga! And my eyes are like that because I am blind, not because I can see through walls or whatever this Hyuga people can do!"

She could see the person coming before Naruto called out "Hey Neji!" Toph turned to face this new person, ready to give them a mouthful if they asked if she was a Hyuga.

"So what's this about my clan?" Neji asked, that took Toph by surprise.

"Wow I can see why everyone thought Toph was a Hyuga." Aang said looking at Neji, "Their eyes are pretty much the same!"

"Well he can see through walls with his eyes." Toph mumbled, "Wish I could do that."

"But what you can do with Earth is so incredible; you can even bend metal Toph! No other Earthbender can do that, you are the best Earthbender in the world!" Katara pointed out.

Naruto and his friends were confused, "Remember how I told you there's people where we're from who can bend one of the four elements?" Aang asked Naruto, "Well Toph can bend Earth, she's an Earthbender."

"Earthbender?" Neji asked.

Quickly moving into her usual fighting stance, Toph asked, "Wanna find out what exactly that is?" she wouldn't mind a chance to show off her skills.

"Why don't you come to our training tomorrow?" Aang asked Neji, "Then you can see not just Earthbending but all four of the types!"

"I'm sorry but we're going to have to pass. We're about to start a mission." Tenten answered, "Though I would greatly like to see this bending that you do, how long are you staying in Konoha?"

The six of them looked at Sakura, "Well in two weeks Aang is going to Sunagakure, to train with Temari. If all of you want to go you're welcome to."

"What's Sunagakure like?" Suki asked.

"A desert." Naruto answered.

Katara, Sokka, Suki and Zuko all opted out at once; even Aang looked a little disgruntled. Minus Zuko and Suki, their last adventure in the desert wasn't a good one. But Toph wanted to go to this Sunagakure place; it would be good to work on her Sandbending.

"I'll go." She said, "I want to work on my Sandbending."

"Thanks Toph!" Aang said, "I thought I was going to have to go on my own. But I'm definitely leaving Appa here."

No one questioned Aang there.

"Okay so what's happening tomorrow?" Katara asked, trying to steer the topic of conversation in another direction.

"Oh we're starting our training tomorrow!" Naruto said excitedly, "I can't wait to see what you guys can do! And you'll get to meet Kakashi our teacher; he most of the elemental jutsu there is so he'll be your most help in learning some new techniques."

"Wait what about Suki and me?" Sokka asked, "You three will be off fighting with your bending and jutsu and Suki and I can't do any of that."

"Well you can train with me." Sakura offered, "I'll teach you a few things Lady Tsunade taught me."

"Oh thankyou!" Suki said.

"Yeah and when we come back from our mission I'll train with you as well if you'd like." Lee added, "I cannot use jutsu either, I know! I will see if Gai sensei will come as well!"

"I don't think you'll need Gai sensei." Tenten advised.

Toph couldn't wait for tomorrow, she couldn't wait to meet this Kakashi person. He sounded tough!

I've tried to make this chapter longer than the first. And I'm really sorry if you're not a Zutara fan, I just couldn't resist ehehe. But don't worry, I won't dwell on them much after all, you're reading this for Gaara & Toph lol. And I know it seems a little slow but Toph & Gaara will be meeting soon!
