Disclamer: Don't own Naruto or Avatar: The last Airbender.

AN: And the next chapter is here. I hope you like it.

To Any authors reading this story, I now have a challenge on my profile (It's an idea I had for a story, but decided not to try and write because I don't want to be the type of author that starts 20 stories and doesn't finish any of them).

"I think I can finally do chakra moulding" Katara said happily.

"Just a moment" Aang said, then put his hands in the standard chakra moulding handsign "Byakugan" He said quietly while focusing chakra to his eyes. He had trained using the Byakugan, though he was still not very proficient at it. He however believed that he should be able to see if someone was moulding chakra. "Show me, Katara" He said, while concentrating on keeping his sight on her rather then everything else around him.

"Okay" Katara said, putting her hands in the same sign as him and started to concentrate.

Aang could immediately see the chakra moving through her system and getting moulded by her hands, showing him that she had indeed succeeded. Now it was time to see if she could learn to use Jutsu.

"Even when your not trying to water-bend, I still get wet when you try to use special abilities" Sokka whined while trying to dry himself.

"I don't understand why her clones are made of mist" Aang said "It isn't a water clone, since then it would be solid, and not just go through Sokka like it just did"

"Maybe it has something to do with my bending abilities" Katara proposed.

"I'm pretty sure it does, but I'm not sure what exactly" Aang replied. He sat quietly for a bit "Oh well" He then said "We'll probably figure it out later. For now good work with the clone. I think we're close to Omashu. I used to always go there to visit my friend Bumi."

"Before we get there you should probably disguise yourself" Katara said "It could be dangerous if people find out you're the Avatar."

"I don't want to use my henge, though" Aang said "If one of Zuko's fire-benders see you two travelling with someone looking completely different then they might draw the conclusion that I can somehow change my looks which will make them more cautious. I'd rather not show my abilities to soon"

"We'll figure something out before we get there then" Katara said.

"Ugh. This is so itchy." Aang said as they walked up the last big hill before Omashu. He had used Appa's fur to give himself hair that was similar to Kakashi and a moustache. He turned to Appa "How do you live in this stuff?" All he got in response was a snort.

"Great!" Sokka said beside him "Now you look just like my grandfather."

"Technically, Aang is 112 years old." Katara pointed out.

"Now let's get to skipping, young whipper-snappers." Aang said in an old mans voice. "The big city awaits just on the other side of this hill!"

A moment later they reached the hilltop and got their first view of Omashu.

"Wow." Katara said in awe "We don't have buildings like this in the South Pole!"

"They have buildings that don't melt!" Sokka added.

"You do realize that Kyoshi had that to, right Sokka?" Aang asked.

"Um.. Right, I was being sarcastic." Sokka defended.

"Whatever you say, Sokka" Aang said with a grin "anyway, let's go, slow pokes. The real fun's inside the city!" Aang jumps down some of the hill and starts walking to Omashu.

Aang, Katara, and Sokka walk down the path to Omashu, which had steep falls on either side. They stop a few feet away from the city.

"You guys are going to love Omashu." Aang said quickly looking back at them befere turning back to the gate. "The people here are the friendliest in the world."

Just then they heard a voice from in front of them; "Rotten cabbages?" The gate guard said to a cabbage merchant who is standing in front of the gate with a cabbage cart. "What kind of slum do you think this is?" He then earthbends the cabbage cart up, making it fly into the air and fall over the edge of the path.

"No!" The cabbage merchant screamed "My cabbages!"

Katara, Sokka, and Aang look over the side to see the falling cabbages.

"Just keep smiling!" Aang says as he, Katara and Sokka walk up to the gate.

The guard brings up a boulder and hovers it over Aanga head.

"State your business!" He yells at them.

Aang quickly runs from underneath the boulder and up to the guard.

"My business is my business, young man, and none of yours!" Aang says in his old man voice. Behind him the boulder falls to the ground while Katara shakes her head "I have a mind to bend you over my knee and paddle your backside!"

"Settle down, old timer!" The guard said "Just tell me who you are."

Thinking of his current hairdo Aang quickly decided his name "Name's Bonzu Hatake, the Third," He began, using Bonzu because it was a fairly common earth-nation name back in his time and Hatake to honour Kakashi "and these are my grandkids."

Katara walks up to the guard. "Hi. June Hatake." She said to the guard "Nice to meet you."

"You seem like a responsible young lady." The gate guard told her "See that your grandfather stays out of trouble. Enjoy Omashu!"

"We will! Katara says and she, Aang and Sokka begin walking towards the gate. As Sokka starts going by, the guard turns to him.

"Wait a minute!" The gate guard says causing Sokka to stop as the guard places a hand on his shoulder. Aang and Katara turn around. "You're a strong young boy! Show some respect for the elderly and carry your grandfather's bag!"

"Good idea!" Aang says in his old man voice and throws his bag so it goes over Sokka's shoulder and into his hands.

The guard opens up the gate walls and Aang, Katara, and Sokka walk through. Momo's head then pops out of Aang's wig just as they get to the other side and the gate starts closing. The guard looks questionably at the sight, but the gates before he can get a closer look.

Aang, Katara and Sokka looked up at the city. Katara and Sokka focused on the buildings, but Aang was looking at something else.

"This is Omashu's delivery system." He stated in his normal voice drawing the attention of the two others "Miles and miles of tubes and chutes. Earthbending brings the packages up, and gravity brings them down."

"Great, so they get their mail on time." Sokka stated, not really seeing why Aang found them so interesting.

"They do get their mail on time, but my friend Bumi found a better use for the chutes." Aang stated, thinking back to the time Bumi told him that it was actually 'The world's greatest superslide!'

"One ride." Aang says as he, Katara and Sokka sit in a mail box on top of a particularly steep chute. "Then we're off to the North Pole. Airbender's honor."

"It sounded like fun at first, but now I'm starting to have second" Katara began, just as Aang starts the box to go down the system "THOUGHTS!" She ends her sentence in a yell.

Aang, Katara and Sokka start going down the chute. They see a set of spears on a track adjacent to the one they're on. At the bottom of the slope they're on connects with the one the spears are on and, given that they are slightly in front of the spears they suddenly find the spears behind them. Sokka ducks and while Katara leans forward into Aang.

"I'm on it!" Aang yells before he throw his weight back and forth causing the box to jump out of the chute and onto a nearby roof. They quickly slide down the roof, landing between a bunch of soldiers and a captain telling them something about being prepared for anything.

After that they continue through a stone fence right in front of another mail box, causing pieces of the fence to knock it over. After that they manage to get back on the mailing system.

"Aang, do something!" Katara yells, wanting him to stop the box "Use your Airbending!"

"Yeah! Great idea!" Aang said "That'll make us go even faster!" He continues, completely misunderstanding what Katara meant.

Aang then Airbends behind him and increases their speed. They soon reach a steep chute where they see and earthbender working with a box. They scream, fearing that they will crash into it but moments before they arrive he sends of the box causing them to sigh in relief only to scream again when he raises up another box right in front of them. They crash into it, causing both them and their box to fly into the air.

Aang Airbends the box back underneath them, making them fall back into the box. They then ride down roofs and through a house where someone was working on a vase, crashing said vase.

"Sorry!" Aang yells out as they crash through the opposite wall. They then slide through another house, where they accidentally take a cat along for the ride. The cat and Momo have a fight on top of Aangs head until Momo manages to push the cat of. They crash through a small wall meant to prevent people from falling off the building and, after a fall, land on top of a cabbage card, which, from what Aang could see belonged to the same merchant that had trouble getting cabbages into Omashu.

This was confirmed when he yelled "My cabbages!" Since Aang was pretty sure that no to people could sound that much alike, unless they where twins. "You're gonna pay for this!"

Guards then surround Aang, Sokka, and Katara.

"Two cabbages please." Aang says sheepishly.

Soon thereafter Aang and his friends are taken before the king. When they first enter he has a thoughtful look on his face, which then changes sligtly to one of recognition.

'Great, he recognized the tattoos as airbending tattoos' Aang thought when he saw the expression.

The Guard that lead them in starts to speak; "Your majesty, these juveniles were arrested for vandalism, traveling under false pretenses, and malicious destruction of cabbages."

"Off with their heads!" The cabbage merchant screams, who is standing slightly to the left of them. "One for each head of cabbage!"

"Silence!" The guard says while waving a hand at the merchant "Only the king can pass down judgement." He looks at the king "What is your judgement, sire?"

The king looks thoughtful and looks at the three; Sokka looks somewhere else while making a sound somewhere between a hum and a whistle. Katara looks at the king with sparkly eyes. Aang tries to just look away but when he notices the king focusing on him he starts to whistle

"Throw them..." the king begins, then pauses while Sokka, Katara, and Aang gasp "...a feast!"

This makes the guard look confused while the merchant looks unhappy. Sokka is smiling, while Katara and Aang have questioning looks.

Soon Aang, Katara and Sokka are all seated in the dining room. Momo is sitting on the table eating a lot of food.

"The people in my city have gotten fat from too many feasts, so I hope you like your chicken with no skin." The king says standing behind them, picking a chicken leg up from Aangs plate.

"Thanks, but I don't eat meat." Aang states quickly. He actually could eat meat, but he kept that to himself unless with friends, since there was a chance that people would know that airbenders where vegetarians.

"How about you?" The king says, turning to Sokka "I bet you like meat." he stuffs the chicken into Sokka's mouth. Sokka immediately starts eating it while the king begin walking around the table to his seat.

"Is it just me, or is this guy's crown a little crooked?" Katara whispers to Aang. Aang just nods in reply.

"So tell me, young bald one, where are you from?" The king asks as he sits down.

"I'm from ... Kangaroo Island!" Aang answers, using the only name he could come up with that wasn't related to airbenders.

"Kangaroo Island, eh?" The king asks "I hear that place is really hopping!" He then states while leaning forward slightly.

A moment of silence occurs. Then Sokka laughs out of nowhere. Katara and Aang look at him.

"What?" Sokka asks in reply to their look "It's pretty funny."

"All these good jokes are making me tired." The king suddenly states while stretching his arms over his head "Guess it's time to hit the hay." he gets up, but then suddenly pulls a chicken leg from his sleeve and throws it at Aang.

Aang (after stopping his first impulse to substitute himself, which would cause far to many questions to be asked) catches it with an Airball which causes the guards to gasp.

"There's an Airbender in our presence, and not just any Airbender. The Avatar!" The king states, standing up. Aang stops his airbending and the king sits back down before asking "Now, what do you have to say for yourself, Mr. Hatake?" while leaning an arm on the table in front of him.

"Okay, you caught me." Aang said quickly and stood up "I'm the Avatar. Doing my Avatar thing, keeping the world safe. Everything checks out." Aang looks underneath table. "No Firebenders here. So, good work everybody!" He grabs hold of Sokka and Katara and starts backing out of the room as he continues "Love each other, respect all life and don't run with your spears. We'll see you next time!"

They reach the door only to have the guards prevent them from leaving.

"You can't keep us here!" Katara says to the king after having looked behind her at the guards "Let us leave!"

"Lettuce leaf?" the king asks and takes bite out of a lettuce leaf on his plate.

"We're in serious trouble." Sokka states to Aang and Katara "This guy is nuts."

"Tomorrow, the Avatar will face three deadly challenges." The king states, "But for now, the guards will show you to your chamber."

"My liege, do you mean the good chamber or the bad chamber?" An old guard standing beside the king asks.

"The newly refurbished chamber." The king states

"Wait, which one are we talking about?" The guard asks

"The one that used to be the bad chamber, until the recent refurbishing, that is." The king responds "We've been calling it the new chamber, but we really should number them." The turns his head back to the guards that are leading Aang and his friends out of the room and says "Take them to the refurbished chamber that was once bad!"

Soon they arrive in a hallway where on of the guards use earthbending to open a wall. Another guard then pushes them inside, after which the wall is closed.

"This is a prison cell?" Katara said after looking around the room "It looks so nice!"

"He did say it was newly refurbished." Aang pointed out.

"Nice or not, we're prisoners!" Sokka stated.

"I wonder what these challenges are going to be." Aang mused.

"We're not sticking around to find out." Katara stated "There's got to be some way out of here."

"First I need to check something" Aang said while sitting down in a lotus position.

"Is this really the time to meditate" Sokka asked Katara who shrugged.

They then just watched Aang as he sat there, trying to figure out what he was doing. Then they noticed his facial features started to change, his cheeks moved and caused the bottom of his eyes to become rounder so his eyes became a perfect circle. On the side of his head he gained two small protrusions that looked like horns and his tattoo became grey instead of blue.

"What's happening to him" Sokka asked.

"I just entered sage mode" Aang stated as he opened his eyes. The eyes where now brown with bigger pupils. "I know my appearance is more toadlike but that's just a sideeffect of it"

"You don't look toadlike at all Aang" Katara stated "if anything you look like you've taken on characteristics of an flying bison"

"Really, so that's why it feels differently then." Aang stated "What you turn into when entering sage mode must change with what contract you sign, and because I haven't signed the toad contract in this body I won't turn toadlike. Instead I gained flying bison features due to my bond with Appa.

"What are you talking about? Sokka asked confused.

"Where I come from you can sign contracts with different summon animals to be allowed to summon them in battle" Aang explained "I signed the toad contract and when they felt that I was ready they thought me to gather nature chakra to enter sage mode, which improves my capabilities quite a bit. I always assumed that it was only possible to turn toadlike because I never heard of anyone else doing it, but it might be because only toads had access to something that made the absorption easier, which allowed them to teach their summoners."

"So you used to be able to turn into a toad-man and now you can turn into a bison-man?" Sokka asked "Yeah, that makes perfect sense" He continued sarcastically.

"Why did you need to do that transformation anyway" Katara asked.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot" Aang said and closed his eyes in concentration. "Where underground under the castle so that rules out sending Momo through the vents to get Appa to free us. There are quite a lot of people in the halls around us so if we try and flee we'll definitely end up in a lot of fights. If I'm feeling this right a lot of them are also earthbenders which makes the fight even harder."

"How do you know that" Sokka asked, quite freaked out by how Aang suddenly had all that information.

"When I'm in sage mode I gain sensor abilities" Aang stated as his face returned to normal "I can sense all the people around us, along with some basic feel for the surroundings in general."

"That's a really useful ability, why haven't you used it before" Sokka asked.

"Because I wasn't sure whether I could do it, and in most of the situations we've been in I've never had the time to gather nature chakra" Aang stated "And there is the whole risk of turning to stone if I gather too much"

"You still could have done it sooner" Sokka stated.

"Well, no point arguing about it now." Katara stated "Get some rest, Aang. Looks like you'll need it for tomorrow."

In the middle of the night Aang woke when he felt something trying to force him into a deeper sleep, something that Jiraiya had thought him to react to, since it usually meant that someone was using sleeping gas on him.

He took a deep and held it looking around the room for a source and the only one he could see was the air-vent so he used airbending to stop air from coming through it and then waited a while. Soon he heard the sound of earthbending and saw the wall opening and one of the guards used a torch to look inside, then quickly closed the wall again. Shortly thereafter he heard the sound of earthbending again, but couldn't see the source so he sat up and looked around just as the sound returned and he saw the beds that Sokka and Katara had slept in raise up from holes in the floor.

"Shit, they took Katara and Sokka." He said to himself. He figured that the guard that opened the wall had just checked which bed the two slept in and then they just removed them by using earthbending from the room beneath them. He then stopped blocking the air-vent and found that they had stopped pumping in sleeping gas so he began to breath normally.

He then sat down and started to gather nature chakra. Soon he was done and after a quick check walked up to a wall where he felt that there was a guard. He had wanted to avoid fighting these people, but now he had no choice since they took his friends. He started to form a rasengan, but when he saw it take on wind characteristics he quickly stopped, since his goal was to knock the guard out not kill him. Instead he hit the wall with a nature enhanced punch which, while less destructive then a rasengan was still enough to cause the wall to fall onto the guard. Aang grabbed his staff and quickly jumped out, making sure not to step on the fallen wall and started racing towards where he felt his friends were.

Soon he reached some stairs with two guards. He unfolded a little of his staff and used it to create a powerful wind that knocked both into the wall while he continued up the stairs.

Just as he was about to leave the staircase he felt a large amount of signatures moving he way and quickly henged to look like one of the guards, just as a group of guards turned the corner and ran towards him.

"Has the Airbender come by here yet" the leading guard asked.

"No sir" Aang responded immediately.

"Keep and eye on the staircase, don't let anyone up until I return" The guard said then lead his men down the staircase.

The moment they where gone Aang returned to normal and started running, since he knew they would return the moment they saw the downed guards at the bottom of the stair. While henged he'd lost his sage mode so he was now had to rely on his memory and instinct, and hope that they hadn't moved Sokka and Katara from where he'd felt them before.

He soon found another pair of stairs but before he could run up it he was suddenly encased in earth.

"Got you Avatar" A guard said, coming out of an alcove. Aang closed his eyes and started gathering nature chakra again, knowing that it should allow him to break free. "What are you doing now" The guard asked "Was the effect of the sleeping gas just delayed and now you've fallen asleep he continues in mirth. Then he sees Aangs facial features change "What the.."

The earth around Aang cracked and then exploded outwards knocking the guard backwards just as the group of guards from earlier came around the corner, causing him to knock the one's in front over. Aang quickly ran up the stairs, while he sensed that Katara and Sokka had been moved again, this time to the throne room if he sensed currectly. He also sensed the guards began to stop pursuing him and that there was an open route leading directly to the throne room. Apart from Katara and Sokka there where quite a few others in the throne room so he figured they where getting ready to confront him there.

Deciding that, even if it is a trap, he can't really avoid it if he wants to save his friends he quickly makes his way to the throne room.

Once he arrives he is faced with the king wearing a weird purple robe.

"Seems I underestimated your capabilities, Avatar" The king said "I did not think you would be able to fight of the effects of the sleeping gas, or leave the room even if you did notice your friends disappearance"

"You should know better then to underestimate an Avatar" Aang stated, even though he'd actually used his ninja abilities more then his Avatar one's.

"That is true" The king said "anyway, since you're here we can start the challenges early, but first, Avatar, what do you think of my new outfit? I want your honest opinion." Aang hesitates with an answer causing the king to prompt "I'm waiting."

"If you're into purple then I guess it's fine" Aang said.

"Excellent! You passed the first test."

"Really?" Aang asked hopefully, hoping to get those tests out of the way.

"Well, not one of the deadly tests." The king said "The deadly challenges are much more, uh, challenging."

Aang unfolded part of his staff and swung it to create a powerful wind in the room, knocking most of the people back, though the king didn't move at all.

"I don't have time for your crazy games!" Aang yelled "I know my friends are here somewhere so give them back to me! We're leaving!"

"Oh, I thought you might refuse." The king said "So I'll give your friends some special souvenirs!"

A wall in the side of the room opens and Katara, Sokka, and two guards appear. 'Why didn't I notice that there was a hall there' Aang asked himself as the guards put some crystal like rings on Sokka and Katara.

"Those delightful rings are made of pure jennomite, also known as creeping crystal." The king explains "It's a crystal that grows remarkably fast. By nightfall your friends will be completely covered in it. Terrible thing, really. I can stop it, but only if you cooperate."

The crystal starts crawling up Sokka's arm. "Ah! It's already creeping!" He yells.

"I'll do what you want." Aang says 'And kick your ass if given a chance' he adds in his head.

Aang is lead to a room with a waterfall going down the midle of the room. Sokka, Katara, and Bumi are on a ledge in the wall. Aang is surrounded by stalagmites.

"It seems I've lost my lunchbox key and I'm hungry. Ooh, there it is!" The king says as he points at the waterfall where the key can be seen hanging from a chain in the middle of it. "Would you mind fetching it for me?"

Aang goes into the water and tries climbing up the ladder, using Chakra to get a better grip. When the king sees that Aang is actually succeeding in climbing the latter he quickly earthbends to make the waterfall more focused which makes it impossible for Aang to climb higher, and he lets go.

"Ooh, climbing the ladder." The king says, while earthbending to return the waterfall to it's previous state, while hiding his surprise "No one's ever done that before."

'Going in from the top isn't going to help me either, but if I aim it just right I might be able to use a stalagmite' Aang thought to himself before he breaks of the tip of a stalagmit and throws it at the key followed by some airbending to increase its speed. The stalagmite flies through the waterfall hitting one of the links in the chain and continues into the wall above the kings head

"There! Enjoy your lunch!" Aang shouts "I want my friends back NOW!"

"Ah, not yet. " The king says dismissively "I need help with another matter. It seems I've lost my pet, Flopsie."

"So what's the defining characteristics of Flopsie" Aang asked as he was about to enter a earth ditch.

"Well he was named flopsie because of his floppy ears." The king stated "That should be enough to find him"

Aang jumps into the ditch and soon he finds a bunny with large floppy ears.

"Okay!" Aang says "Found him!"

"Bring him to me." The king says in response "Daddy wants a kiss from Flopsie!"

"Come here Flopsie" Aang says as he approaches the bunny, only to turn around when he feels a presence behind him.

He turns around to come face to face with a massive Gorilla-goat. He quickly jumps back as the creature reaches it's hands out to catch him. After he lands he sees the bunny run past him but before he can give chase he realizes that the Gorilla-goat also has flopsie ears, so he looks at it closely

"Flopsie?" He asks, uncertainly.

Flopsie immediately starts wiggling its tail, with a big smile on its face and its tongue sticking out of its mouth. It picks up Aang like a baby and licks his face after which Aang rubs its head in return. Then the king whistles which caused Flopsie to put him down and jump up to the king.

"Oh, that's a good boy." The king says while rubbing it's belly "Yeah, who has a soft belly?"

Aang jumps up to where Katara and Sokka, halfway encased in crystals, are.

"Guys, are you okay?" Aang asks in concern.

"Other than the crystals encasing my entire body, doing great!" Katara respons just as a crystal grows on one side of Sokka's body, making him become unbalanced and fall. Aang walks over to Bumi.

"Come on!" Aang says "I'm ready for the next challenge"

This sentence cause the king to smile.

Aang gets lead onto a balcony that overviews a room that looks like some kind of rectangular arena.

"Your final test is a duel." The king says from behind him, standing at the entrance Aang just entered through "And as a special treat, you may choose your opponent."

A man comes out on either side of the king. One is slim and agile looking and carriers a halberd with a crescent shaped axehead. The other is muscular and also carries a halberd, though this one is more rectangular in its head.

"So you're saying whoever I point to, that's the person I fight?" Aang asks. He knew there was some trick to this, all other challenges had involved what Kakashi would call 'Looking underneath the underneath' or as Bumi said ' open your brain to the possibilities'. Then it hit him, the king had the same eyes as Bumi.

"Choose wisely!" The kings voice cut into Aangs musings

'Even though I know he's probably strong, I still want to find out how good he really is' Aang thought before saying "I choose...you." and pointing to Bumi.

"Wrong choice!" Bumi removes his outer robe and straightens himself, proving himself to be a powerful, fit old man. He Earthbends at Aang, making him fly into the arena. Then Bumi jumps down right in front of Aang, starting to laugh. "You thought I was a frail old man, but I'm the most powerful Earthbender you'll ever see."

"Actually I was quite sure that you weren't just some frail old man." Aang stated "I just wanted to see how strong you've become while I was frozen, Bumi."

"So, you figured it out, ehh" Bumi said.

"Of course." Aang replied "I was only a question of opening my brain to the possibility that you where still alive" He continued with a smile.

"Very good." Bumi said. "before we fight you might want this." He signals a guard that then throws Aang his airbending staff."

"Thanks, but before we fight could you perhaps free my friends, I want them to see the fight probably" Aang asked.

"Well, since you've already figured out who I am I see no reason not to." Bumi replied before earthbending himself up to the balcony and quickly breaks the crystals, though he catches a piece of it "Jennomite is made of rock candy." he states and takes a bite of the crystal. "Delicious!"

"So this crazy king is your old friend Bumi?"

"Who are you calling old?" Bumi asked in mock anger before smiling "Okay, I'm old." He then jumped back into the arena "Anyway, let's get on with the fight."

He then creates and sends three rocks in quick succession all of which Aang evades.

"Typical Airbender tactic: Avoid and evade." Bumi states "I hoped you would be less predictable."

He then send another rock at Aang, causing Aang to jump into the air and then use his staff to stay airborne.

"Don't you have any surprises for me?" Bumi taunts "Sooner or later you'll have to strike back!"

He then sends a rock at the roof causing part of the ceiling to fall down on Aang. Deciding to change to a more unpredictable counter, Aang substitutes himself with a rock behind Bumi and them pushes himself forward. Just as he reaches Bumi a pillar of earth raises up, catapulting Aang into the air.

"Much better. Making me think I got you and then attack from behind" Bumi said. "Seems you've finally gained access to the abilities within you".

"I'd ask how you knew that there where abilities like that within, but I don't think you would give a straight answer" Aang said, as he lands on the opposite side of the arena.

"I've always seen that there was more to you then meet the eye, some things even you weren't aware of at the time" Bumi said "Though now you seem to know"

Aang sent a powerful blast of wind at Bumi but he just raises a plate of earth to block it

"Did someone leave the windows open?" Bumi asked mockingly "It feels a little drafty in here. Are you hoping I'll catch a cold?"

Aang charges forward and then throws his staff, sending a blast of air to increase its speed but Bumi just side steps it before sending a wave if earth at Aang. He, however, isn't prepared for Aang to turn into smoke upon being hit, and then feeling a staff at his back.

"Misdirection has become a speciality of mine since last we meet." Aang stated. After throwing the wind at Bumi he had used the dust-cover to create a shadow clone and henge himself into looking like his staff. His clone then threw him at Bumi and once he got behind him he just transformed back to himself.

Bumi let himself fall forward disappearing into the earth and appearing behind Aang a moment later with a rock.

"Well done, Aang." Bumi said, throwing the rock to the side "You fight with much fire in your heart. You passed all my tests." He then stepped forward and embraced Aang "I didn't get to say this before, but it's good to see you. You haven't changed a bit. At least physically."

"Excuse me Bumi" Sokka said "But why did you do all of this instead of just telling Aang who you were?"

"First of all, it's pretty fun messing with people." Bumi said with a laugh "But I do have a reason." He turns back to Aang "Aang, you have a difficult task ahead. The world's changed in the hundred years that you've been gone. It's the duty of the Avatar to restore balance to the world by defeating Fire Lord Ozai. You have much to learn. You must master the four elements and confront the Fire Lord. And when you do, I hope you think like a mad genius." He looks at Sokka and Katara "And it looks like you're in good hands. You'll need your friends to help defeat the Fire Nation." Just then Momo arrives in the arena and land on Aangs shoulder "And you'll need Momo, too."

"Thank you for your wisdom," Aang says with a bow "but before we leave, I have a challenge for you."

Shortly thereafter Bumi and Aang are racing down the package system, and as luck would have it, when they fell of the slide they landed on the cabbage merchant's wagon

"My cabbages" He screamed, loud enough for all of Omashu to hear.

Yes I changed his sage appearance, since for me it wouldn't make sense for nature chakra to only work for toads, therefore I choose to work under the assumption that Naruto turns toadlike because of his contract with the toads. If someone can tell me a place in the manga where someone who hasn't signed the toad contract uses nature chakra and turns toadlike I will of course change his appearance back to being toadlike, since his look isn't really a major plot point, just a detail.

To expand my theory slightly; if we go with the assumption a lot of people have about it being possible to have multiple contract, then one of them would likely need to be the main summoning contract, while the rest are just supporting summons, otherwise the person entering sage mode would gain traits from all his or her summons.

I know that the idea of multiple contracts is at least semi cannon, as Susuke has both snake and hawk summon, however he might have gotten his name removed from the snake contract after he killed Manda, so he may never have had two contracts at the same time.

Poll:

Harem has won the poll.

I've already decided on five girls but I want to add one more, so sometime in the near future I'll make another poll with the girls you can choice from.

Katara, Suki and Ty Lee are all going to be in the harem, but I'll keep the other two secret for now. As a consequence of trying to keep those two girls secret the will be added to the poll mentioned above, but will be in the Harem whether they win the poll or not.

Lemons:

A reviewer asked if there would be any lemons in the story, but at this point I don't really know. If I feel they fit in without taking away from the story then I might add them. Though if I do there will be a warning when it starts and when it ends, and there is not likely to be any vital information in those parts, that is not told in the non-lemon parts of the story.

Crossover:

A reviewer commented that there wasn't much crossover about this story, that it is mostly just an OOC Aang with extra abilities. While it could be argued that it is true, I personally don't like something being OOC without there being a valid reason, and the abilities are all from Naruto. I've seen fanfics that have called themselves crossovers for less.

Reviewers:

Just general information to reviewers; If I see your review as constructive I normally send you a PM response so you don't have to wait for the next chapter to hear my comments. I still put the answer in the chapter so that others don't write the same thing. If multiple people start asking/commenting the same thing I will likely only respond to one, and the rest will just have to wait for the next chapter.
