The Southern Air Temple

Naruto awoke with a headache.

'Oww … What the heck happened?' he thought to himself. As his vision cleared, he surveyed his surroundings.

'Where am I? Last thing I remember is … defeating Gaara! But … I'm not in Konoha Forest. I'm not in the hospital or in a house either. So what exactly is this place?' he wondered.

'Fur ball? You there?' Naruto asked in his head. He and a certain nine-tailed entity of chakra have been friends for years. Kurama saw all the pain that he had caused the boy and felt guilty. So one day, when Naruto was seven years old, he told Naruto that he was sealed inside and that he was being controlled when he attacked the village. After that, he and Naruto became friends.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that kit?" Kurama answered.

'Do you know where we are Kurama nii?'

"I don't know … When you passed out that Sand kid with Shukaku came back and his siblings were with him."

'What?! My friends, are they okay?'

"Well … before the fight started, something strange happened. Some kind of purple light appeared in the sky. I sensed chakra radiating off of it so I knew immediately that it was some kind of Jutsu. Also, the light was heading straight for your friends. There was nothing any of them could do, for the light was too big to dodge. So it crashed into all of them and next thing I know, they're all gone and we end up here." Kurama explained.

Naruto was silent as he soaked in all this information. Many people thought he was dumb, but Naruto was no fool. He figured that his friends weren't dead, but appeared in an unknown place, like he did.

'Do you think they might be in a similar situation as me?'

"I think so. If that strange jutsu didn't kill you, I don't think it would kill your friends or even enemies for that matter."

'Hmm … Okay. Well, I guess I might as well look around a bit.'

Naruto got up and started walking around. He quickly realized that he was in some sort of temple.

He kept walking around and he started seeing a lot of statues. Finally, he came across a balcony-like area. When he walked over to the edge and looked down, his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates and his jaw dropped.

He expected to see land when he looked down, but instead he saw clouds.

'We're in the sky?! What the hell?! How am I supposed to get down?' Naruto wondered.

"Kit! Hide! I sense three chakra signatures coming this way and one of them is BIG." Kurama said.

Naruto nodded and ran to go find a hiding spot. He simply hid behind a wall. He could easily look around the end of the wall to see who the approaching people were.

Eventually, three teens stepped into view.

The one in the middle was a short, bald boy with arrow tattoos on his head and hands and had grey eyes. He was wearing an orange shawl over yellow long-sleeved shirt-like robes that extended to his knees and cut at the crotch which left it draping over only the outside of the legs. He was also wearing brown pants under the yellow robe, with red boots and an orange belt.

The one on the left was a girl that seemed to be about a year or two older than him. She had tanned skin and ocean blue eyes. She was wearing a thick blue overcoat which had purple stripes on the chest and was lined with white fur. She was also wearing a belt made out of white fur and she was wearing grey boots as well. She had brown hair with a plain hairstyle. Two loops of hair on both sides of her head are fastened with a clip onto the back of the head which lead into a plain braid.

The last one, on the right, was a boy that seemed to be the tanned girl's older brother. He had tanned skin as well as blue eyes that weren't as vibrant as the girl's. He had three string-like hangings dangling from his collar. He wore brown leather boots. Additionally, His brown hair was shaved at the sides. Only the top of his hair has been pulled back and tied into a ponytail which looked awfully like the tail of a wolf.

They were currently looking at a statue and conversing. However, Naruto wasn't close enough to be able to hear what they were saying. The bald kid seemed to look kind of sad when he looked at the statue, though. After they were done observing the statue, they went around it and continued down a hallway which leads to a door. Naruto was quietly following them, making sure not to make a sound. He wasn't going to attack them. They didn't seem like they were bad guys. Hell, they didn't even seem like they were ninja.

The ponytail guy charged straight into the door in an attempt to open it.

'Man … this guy's an idiot! Even I wouldn't have tried to open that door like that.' Naruto thought as he sweat dropped.

Kurama snorted.

"Oh please kit, we both know that you would summon a whole bunch of Kage Bushins and have all of them charge straight into the door."

'Shut it you stupid fox I'm trying to hear what their saying!' Naruto countered irritably.

Naruto still couldn't hear what they were saying. So he channeled a bit of chakra into his ear to enhance his hearing.

He heard the bald kid say "The key, Sokka, is Airbending."

'Airbending? What the hell is that?' Naruto wondered

"… Oh no …" Kurama whispered in Naruto's mind.

'Hmm? What is it fox?'

"Well … kit, I don't know how to tell you this, but we are far away from your home."

'Really? Wow … I had no clue.' Naruto deadpanned.

"Shut up you stupid brat I wasn't finished talking!"

'Sorry …'

"As I was saying, we're in a different dimension kit. We might not be able to get back to your world either."

There was silence in Naruto's mind as he absorbed this information.

'WHAT?! No, you're pulling my leg here fox! Different dimension? There are no other dimensions … right?'

"Naruto … I understand your stress … but I'm not joking. The bijuu all originated from a place called the spirit world. Before we came down to your world, I heard of a dimension where people could control one of the four elements with simple arm and leg movements. These elements are air, water, earth and fire. There was also one person in that world named the Avatar which could control all four.The terms for controlling these elements were airbending, waterbending, earthbending, or firebending. So, either we are in that dimension or people from that dimension came here. I bet it's the first guess because that bright light probably was the cause." Kurama explained.

Naruto was shocked to say the least. A different dimension? Unreal…or so he thought.

'Well never mind that now! That kid is opening that door!'

The bald boy sunk into a stance and extended his arms. A couple of seconds later the door opened. Naruto was surprised but said nothing as he watched them walk inside. He could hear the girl talking about the avatar cycle and past lives. It was giving him a headache. He decided to just reveal himself and maybe they could help him find his friends. With that thought in mind, Naruto started walking down the hall.

As he continued walking, He vaguely heard someone say "Fire nation! Don't make a sound!" and someone else said "You're making a sound!"

'Fire Nation? Like the Land of Fire? Hey, maybe I'm not in a different dimension.' Naruto thought with renewed hope.

"Fire Nation is the name of the country from which the fire benders hail from. At least, that's what I heard.

Naruto silently sighed at that and kept walking. When he finally reached the door, the ponytail guy came out of hiding.

"Take this you fire nation scum!" Sokka shouted as he threw his boomerang at Naruto who ducked under it.

He turned around to look at the weapon before turning back to Sokka.

"What the hell?! Are you trying to kill me?! That thing was sharp!" Naruto yelled.

"Why wouldn't I want to kill you?! You're Fire Nation!" Sokka retorted.

Naruto's eye twitched "No I'm not! If I was I would've attacked you by now, dumbass!"

Sokka was about to retort but then he saw the boomerang coming back to stab Naruto and he just smirked. Katara and Aang just widened their eyes in horror. They were going to warn him, but they froze.

Just as the boomerang was about to hit, Naruto simply leaned his head to the left, allowing the weapon to soar past him harmlessly.

Sokka's jaw dropped while Katara and Aang breathed a sigh of relief.

"B-but y-you, h-how did, what?!" Sokka mumbled in shock.

"Reflex" Naruto explained with a grin. "But anyway, like I said, I'm NOT Fire Nation."

"How can we trust you? You just show up out of the blue and you expect us to be all friendly about it?" Sokka asked.

"Sokka, give it a rest already." Katara said as she walked up to her brother. "Look at his clothes! It's obvious those aren't Fire Nation colors. Now that I mention it, he's not wearing any nation's colors!"

"That's because I'm not from around here. I'm from far, far away." The blonde genin told her cryptically. "But anyway, let me introduce myself. I am Uzumaki Naruto and I'm gonna become hokage, Dattebayo!"

Aang grinned. He seemed like a good guy to the monk. Katara smiled while Sokka just rolled his eyes and huffed. All of them, however, had one thought. 'What's a hokage?'. They all decided they would just ask later, though.

"My name is Katara and this is my older brother Sokka. We're from the Southern Water Tribe." Katara said as she pointed at herself and her brother as she spoke.

'I'm guessing that's where waterbenders come from?'

"Catching on fast now are we?"

Naruto ignored that last comment and looked expectantly at Aang.

"And I'm Aang! I'm the Avatar, but I haven't mastered all four elements yet." The bald boy stated.

Just then, a lemur with white fur crawled up next to Naruto. Two people in the room were very excited by this. One of them because it was one of the remaining organisms in the whole temple, and the other because he was very hungry.

"Lemur!" Aang yelled excitedly.

Sokka's mouth watered. "Dinner." He said hungrily.

"Don't listen to him! I won't let him eat you. I'm gonna make you my new pet."

"Not if I get him first!"

Both Sokka and Aang made a mad dash after the lemur while Naruto moved out of the way before he got knocked over.

"I suppose we should go after them." Katara smiled.

"Alright." Naruto replied. They both started walking back down the hall.

"So, Naruto, how did you end up in the Southern Air temple?" Katara asked.

'So that's where I am…'

"To be honest, I have no clue. All I know is that I was in a fight and I got knocked out. Next thing I know, I wake up here!"

"Wow … that's strange. The only way to get to an air temple is by flight." Katara stated.

Naruto widened his eyes but didn't reply.

'The only way here is by flight? So these guys can fly? Tch, yea right! I'd sooner believe that people can shoot blasts of energy that can blow up planets.' Naruto thought.

"Umm … about that …"

'Oh let me guess Kurama nii. People can do that in another dimension. Can they also revive people from the dead with the help of a magical dragon? Oh wait I bet they can do that too!'

"Naruto … there's many, many, MANY, dimensions. What you just described is something from the Dragon Ball's dimension."

Naruto's eyebrow twitched.

'All this dimension talk is a lot to take in ya know!'

Kurama didn't answer.

'You sound more like your mother than you know … Naruto.' Kurama thought.

Naruto and Katara finally made it to the end of the hall and they both looked down.

"Hold on tight Katara!" Naruto said as he picked her up.

"Naruto? What are you doing?" Katara asked suspiciously.

"Getting you down there." He smoothly replied.

"I'll just walk down the stairs."

"That'll take too long. I'm doing you a favor!" Naruto replied as he jumped.

"Naruto wait!" Katara screamed. But it was too late. Naruto had leaped down to the lower grounds of the temple with Katara in his arms. Instead of screaming, Katara closed her eyes and waited to hit the ground but she never did.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Naruto, completely unscathed, putting her down.

"You're an airbender!" Katara realized.

"Not … exactly." Naruto said.

"How else could you jump down from that high and not take any damage?" Katara asked curiously.

Just as Naruto was about to answer, they bout heard a cry of anguish and Kurama felt a large chakra spike.

"Aang!" Katara breathed. She rushed off to where she heard the noise with Naruto following not too far behind.

With Aang and Sokka

Both boys were chasing the lemur. Aang jumped down to the lower temple ground while Sokka ran down the stairs like his life depended on it. In the end, Aang reached his destination first. He followed the animal into a tent.

"Don't worry. He can't hurt you now. You're gonna be my new pet." Aang said enthusiastically.

That's when he saw it. His eyes widened when he saw a skeleton lying on the ground. It was wearing the robes that his old master Gyatso used to wear.

'It can't be …'

"Gyatso?" Aang asked shakily.

He couldn't deny it. He had to face facts. He's been gone for 100 years, maybe more. People were bound to die. He knew this ever since he realized how long he was in the iceberg. So why couldn't he accept it?

Aang fell to his knees, hot tears streaming down his face. That's when he noticed the helmet sitting in the corner of the room. He noticed it was red with a white mask to cover the face. His face darkened.

"Fire Nation." He whispered dangerously.

Gyatso was dead. Hell, all his people were probably dead. And for what? So that they could find and kill the Avatar? So that they could kill all the Air Nomads just to have less people to worry about? Why? Why had they killed Aang's people?

Aang felt confusion, then sadness, then loneliness, and finally, rage. He would make them pay. He will make them suffer!

'Gyatso'

A loud cry of anguish escaped Aang's throat as power surged off of him and blew away everything near him.

'I will avenge you!'

With Sokka

All he wanted was some meat. He was a simple guy with simple needs. So why was he dealing with this right now?

Sokka finally got to the lower temple ground and looked around. There was no sign of the lemur. That's when he heard someone weeping. He turned towards the tent he saw and stepped inside when he saw Aang on his knees, crying. Sokka felt a pang of guilt. He thought that he was the one who made his newest friend cry.

"Look, Aang, I wasn't really gonna eat the lemur, okay?" Sokka said.

Aang didn't seem to hear him. He seemed to be getting angrier by the second. He unleashed wave after wave of killing intent. And when Sokka saw what Aang saw, he understood why.

Just as Sokka was about to comfort him, Aang screamed. The wind around him started to spin and, in turn, blew Sokka and the tent away.

"Ah!" Sokka cried out as he flew back. He was about to hit a stone wall when someone caught him. He looked up and he saw the blonde haired kid that showed up a couple of minutes ago.

"Umm … thanks?" Sokka said.

"No problem. Anyway, happened?" The blonde genin replied. Katara looked at her brother expectantly.

"Aang saw the skeleton of one of his people and started crying. He must've realized that the Fire Nation wiped out all his people and that he was the last one of his kind. When I was about to try and comfort him, he yelled and the wind blew away everything around him. Now, look at him! He's unleashing all that power!"

When Naruto and Katara looked, they saw Aang with glowing eyes and tattoos. He had a dome of wind around him and he had an angry yet sad look on his face.

'I understand how he feels. He thinks he's all alone.'

"The Avatar State" Katara whispered. "That's it! The Avatar State! When an Avatar is in trouble he unleashes the power of the past avatars! He must've been so angry that it was triggered!"

"Kit, I'm sensing a LOT of chakra coming from that kid! He has about the same amount of power that four tails would grant you! You guys have to find a way to stop him somehow!" Kurama shouted urgently

Naruto was shocked. How did this kid have so much raw power?! Just as he was about to jump in and attack, he saw Katara hugging Aang and trying to comfort him.

"Aang, it's okay. You have us. We're your new family!" Katara said soothingly.

Aang seemed to calm down ever so slightly but he was still in the avatar state.

"Aang! Listen to me! We're here for you! You aren't alone!" Sokka said.

Aang calmed down a bit again.

"Kit, you have to try to convince him out of that state. If you don't do something, I suspect he will lose control and start attacking all of you."

"Aang." Naruto started as he smiled sadly. "I know how you feel. Trust me, I do. I've been an orphan all my life and I never knew if my parents loved me or not. All the people in my village treated me like a monster instead of a human being! I know what it feels like to be alone. At first I hated everyone and wanted to take revenge on the ones who hurt me. But then," he smiled "I got friends. They helped me bear the pain and, eventually, I realized I wasn't alone anymore. You don't have to be either. Sokka, Katara, and I can help you Aang."

Katara and Sokka were shocked by his speech while Aang's glowing eyes widened. His eyes closed and the winds stopped. When he opened his eyes again, the glow was gone. He was back to normal.

"I'm sorry I lost control like that." Aang said shamefully.

"No problem Aang. It happens." Sokka replied.

"Thanks guys." Aang smiled.

"Anything for a friend!" Naruto grinned. Aang just grinned back and both of them started talking to each other.

"Do you think he was lying about all that Sokka?" Katara asked quietly.

"No. I don't think you can fake those kinds of emotions. I didn't realize he had such a hard life. Maybe I should apologize for being so paranoid earlier…" Sokka replied.

Katara simply quirked an eyebrow.

"You think?"

Sokka just huffed and walked over to where Naruto and Aang were.

"Umm … Naruto? Can I talk to you for a second?" Sokka asked.

Naruto raised an eyebrow but simply said "Sure."

Sokka and Naruto walked away from the others.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Naruto asked curiously.

"I'm sorry for assuming you were Fire Nation and attacking you earlier. I just wanted to protect my sister and friend." Sokka started but then Naruto raised a hand to stopped him.

"You don't have to apologize. I get it. Hell, if I someone showed up out of the blue I would assume they were an enemy too."

Sokka smiled and Naruto just grinned.

"We should probably get back to the others." Sokka suggested.

"Okay." Naruto replied.

They started walking back to Katara and Aang when Naruto saw something.

"Whoa! What the hell is that?!" Naruto yelled.

He was pointing at a huge bison with white fur and with brown arrows over it's body.

"That's my flying bison, Appa. And what's with that look? You act like you've never seen a flying bison before!" Aang said.

Naruto's jaw dropped.

"Wow! A flying bison?! That's so cool!" Naruto said excitedly.

All four of them hopped on Appa before Aang saw something. The lemur that he was chasing earlier landed on his shoulder. Aang smiled.

"Hmm what should I name you? Oh! I know! From now on I'll call you Momo!"

The other kids smiled at this name.

"Yip yip!" Aang said. To Naruto's amazement, the bison started flying. But then he had an idea.

"Guys." Naruto started. All heads turned to him. "I don't know where any of my friends are. Do you think I can keep travelling with you until I find them?"

"Sure! We'll help you find them! But just remember, we're on a mission." Aang replied.

"Mission?"

"Yes." Katara replied. "Aang is the Avatar. He has to master all four elements but so far he only knows airbending. He still has to master water, earth, and fire. After he does that, he can put a stop to this war."

'They're at war?' Naruto thought but decided to ask about it later.

"So this bending thing, do you think I can bend too?" Naruto asked hopefully.

"I don't know. People are born with the ability to bend. It's not something you can just learn. Take Sokka for example. I was born a waterbender but he's a non-bender."

"But I've never tried to bend before. What if I could bend but I just never tried it?" Naruto asked.

"Hmm … okay well you can try it. You would have to know which element you have can bend though." Katara replied thoughtfully.

'Kurama nii? Which element do you think I can bend?'

"Well, considering you have an affinity for wind, I bet you can be what they call an airbender."

"I think I could be an airbender." Naruto said.

At this, Aang had to contain his joy.

"You mean that I might not be the only airbender left?" Aang asked excitedly.

"I dunno but I'll give airbending a try. So what do I have to do?"

"Well, Naruto, have you ever heard of chi? It's your life energy."

Naruto looked confused for a moment.

"Chi is your life energy? I thought it was chakra?" Naruto stated, confused.

"What's chakra?" Katara said as she looked at him strangely.

"Chakra is the molding of one's physical energy and spiritual energy. It allows ninja, like me, to do special techniques that would not be possible without it. When we run out of chakra, we die." Naruto explained wisely. The only reason he knew so much is because Kurama told him what to say.

"The spiritual energy you talked about is probably chi. The physical energy, I think, is stamina. So you have chi, you just mix it with stamina to create chakra." Sokka said intelligently.

"Anyway, normally, people use chi for bending. But since you have chakra, I guess you'll have to use that." Aang started. "Basically, you focus your chi, or in this case chakra, into the element that you can control. Then, you do certain movements with your body that triggers the element and allows you to move it. Once you start moving the element, you can manipulate it to do many things."

"Stand up and get into this stance." Aang ordered as he got into a stance. He was in a horse stance with his hands cupped at his sides and his body shifting forward slightly.

Naruto did as he was asked.

"Now channel your energy into the air between your hands. Try to keep the wind compressed into a ball using your chakra."

'This is starting to sound a lot like the Rasengan.' Naruto thought to himself but quickly focused back on the task at hand.

"Now extend your hands and release the air." Aang said.

Naruto did just that and he was amazed by what just happened. A blast of wind escaped from his hands.

Aang smiled widely.

"You did it Naruto! You're an airbender!"

Naruto grinned.

"I did it Dattebayo!" Naruto shouted.

Both Sokka and Katara laughed at his enthusiasm.

"I guess I'm gonna be teaching you airbending from now on then." Aang said.

"Yea … I guess so. But is there any ramen around here? I'm hungry." Naruto asked.

Sokka quirked an eyebrow. "Ramen?"

Naruto's eyes widened. "Please tell me you guys know what ramen is!" They all shook their head while Naruto fell to his knees.

"Naruto?" Katara asked worriedly. "What's wrong?"

Naruto looked at her as tears streamed down his face, almost comically.

"THERE'S NO RAMEN HERE?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Okay so Chapter 3 is finished. Aang was very bloodthirsty in this chapter. I have a plan for that later ... :)

And in case any of you were wondering, Aang, Sokka, Katara and may other characters in this story will learn to use chakra.

But anyway, see you all next chapter!
