Chapter 6

Disclaimers: I don't own the anime/manga Naruto nor do I own Avatar the Last Air Bender in any way, shape, or form.

A month later, on the way to Kumo…

Naruto is walking behind Jiraiya reading the first Icha Icha book ever written. Of course he would never tell Jiraiya that he had come to like the books, he still had his pride after all. When Jiraiya turned around Naruto had hidden the book and looked bored, 'So ero-sennin, where are we going?' Jiraiya looked at a map he was holding, 'Well we're going to Kumo so I can meet an informant for my spy organization.' Naruto looked up and saw several fire blasts heading towards him and Jiraiya. Naruto pushed Jiraiya and jumped back as the fire blasts hit where they were just moments before as several ninja's dropped down wearing red, maroon, and black armor and they took up an unusual Taijutsu stance.

Naruto took the stance he was taught and prepared to fight, but shouted out to Jiraiya, 'Hey ero-sennin, who are these guys?' one of the ninja took a step forward, 'We are warriors of the soon to be formed Fire Nation!' (A/N: If you don't know where this is from, then look up top because that is pathetic if you don't know) Naruto was very confused at what these people were saying and it showed on his face making the rouge ninja sigh and another spoke out, 'Look kid, we're just going to take down the Land of Fire and turn it into a true Land of Fire, the Fire Nation as we are going to call it, where Jutsu doesn't exist, rather we rely on our special Taijutsu that allows us to harness our fire chakra to create fire, like so.' The one who had spoken thrust one fist forward and fire shot from it right at Naruto.

Naruto ducked under the fire blast and leaped into a backflip and landing a few feet away and his hands went into the all familiar cross hand sign, 'Shadow Clone Jutsu!' Five Naruto's appeared around the original and the six of them charged at the group as Jiraiya made his presence known jumping down as he and Naruto , 'So you are those rouge ninja from varying nations who claim to be what you call fire benders, whats up with all of that? I admit your Taijutsu styles are incredible, being able to harness the element of fire and from what I've heard, even lightning itself without hand signs but why take over a nation why not train this and use this ability to help others?' They all laughed and took up more stances and began to fight while laughing at them.

Naruto jumped up and over the rouge ninjas and his clones did the same and they began to fight. One of Naruto's clones was dispelled by a kick to the gut and soon after another fell victim to a fire blast and then after a few minutes of fighting, with Jiraiya's help, Naruto and the rest of the clones subdued the group and tied them up to a random tree and left them there. 'What was that about ero-sennin?' Naruto asked while looking confused. Jiraiya looked at Naruto and sighed, 'they are a group of rouge shinobi who had developed a unique Taijutsu style that allowed them to harness their fire chakra, and according to rumors lightning chakra as well, and are able to use it to aid them in combat. They call it Fire Bending, though it is very unusual, it is very interesting.' Naruto nodded and what Jiraiya didn't realize was that Naruto had memorized their fighting styles but decided to wait until he had learn some fire jutsu before attempting to try it out for himself.

A month later, outside the gates of Kumo…

It's been almost 4 months since Naruto and Jiraiya had left the Konoha on their training trip and Jiraiya had begun teaching Naruto some jutsu, but he wanted to see which element Naruto was strongest in so he tested Naruto…

Flashback no jutsu! (A/N: I am very bored which is why I did this)

'Alright Naruto it is time to see what element you have as your main element.' Naruto nodded and Jiraiya held out a sheet of paper and gave it to him, 'This is called Chakra paper, it is made from a special tree that lives off of chakra, this will tell you what element or elements you have, so try channeling some chakra through it.' Naruto nodded and pushed chakra into it, first it began to float, but then it split into four equal pieces and each piece had something different happen. One piece caught flames and turned to ashes. The second piece turned damp and soggy. The third piece crumbled into dust. And the final piece crinkled up. Jiraiya looked and nodded as Naruto spoke up, 'So ero-sennin, which is my main element?' Jiraiya smiled and patted his head, 'it seems your strongest element is Wind.' Naruto smiled, 'Awesome Dattebayo!' Jiraiya chuckled, 'Ok, so here is a scroll with some Wind jutsu I think you'll like.' Jiraiya gave Naruto a scroll with the Kanji for Wind on it.

Flashback no jutsu: Kai

Jiraiya was impressed on how Naruto's training was coming along, so far he knew Fuuton: Daitoppa, Fuuton: Atsugai, Fuuton: Juha: Reppushou, Fuuton: Juha: Shou, and Fuuton: Renkuudan. Jiraiya had opted to have him create a variation of the Rasengan, and Naruto had agreed quickly, but they were still deciding on the details of the technique, what it should look like, what to call it, and how powerful it should be.

Naruto looked at the gate to Kumo in amazement, when he saw it from far away it was a beautiful sight, a city built onto the side of a mountain. Now that they were at the gates, Naruto was still impressed. They showed their passports to the guards and told them that they were on a training trip around the nations, which they had information to prove. Jiraiya walked off in one direction, leaving Naruto alone, again. Naruto walked along and he bumped into a woman a few years older than him with blonde hair they both said 'Sorry' at the same time and walked their separate ways. Naruto walked around and almost walked into a man with black glasses, the Kanji for Iron on his shoulder and bull horns facing one direction on his cheek. He was wearing the average Kumo Jonin attire with a long scarf that was white outside and red inside. He also had seven swords on his back. Naruto looked sheepishly at him, 'Sorry, wasn't paying much attention to where I was going.' The man smirked, 'don't bother with it, otherwise you might pitch a fit.' The man said (A/N: Don't expect to hear much rapping from Bee since I suck at copying the way he talks) causing Naruto to sweat drop. 'Ok, so whats your name?' The man nodded and spoke again, 'Yo, I'm Killer Bee, I'm the famous container of Hachibi, yea.'

He held out his fist towards Naruto who looked surprised, and fist bumped Killer Bee, 'Hehe, awesome, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, container for the Kyuubi.' Killer Bee froze and looked closely at Naruto who was confused. 'How many tails can you control, yo?' he asked Naruto, who looked confused but held up three fingers, making Killer Bee think for a bit. While he was thinking, Kyuubi made her presence known via telepathic communication, 'Hey Naruto, its Kyuubi.' Naruto jumped a bit and looked up before speaking out loud, 'Kyuubi? How're you talking to me?' Killer bee responded, 'Yo, you being a Jinchuuriki lets you telepathically chat with your tailed beast just think what you want to say to it and it'll hear it.' Naruto nodded and thought back, 'so what did you need Kyuubi?'

'I just wanted to tell you that this guy can almost perfectly control the 8-tails, so you should train with him so that he could teach you to control my power even more.' She said in his mind. Naruto nodded and looked at Killer Bee who looked like he was waiting for him, 'So what'd it say, fool, ya fool.' Naruto sweat dropped again but said, 'Well, she wants me to train with you so I can control her more easily.' Killer bee crossed his arms and looked deep in thought, and Naruto realized that he was talking to his tailed beast. Jiraiya walked up and surprised Naruto and Killer Bee looked up as Naruto spoke, 'Hey, ero-sennin, this is killer bee, he's like me, I think he was the one you were talking about, and I asked if he can train me to control the Kyuubi.' Jiraiya looked at Killer Bee and back at Naruto, 'and what did he say?' Killer bee smirked, 'Yo, I'll train you, fool, ya fool.'

Naruto smiled and looked excited, 'Awesome!' Jiraiya nodded and the three of them began to walk. Naruto looked out the corner of his eye and saw two figures being chased by what appeared to be Anbu, but these two figures, two girls he noticed, were scared as they ran away and Naruto spoke up, 'Hey, where are we training?' Killer bee told him where it was and Naruto nodded, 'Thanks, I'll see you there, I want to look around a bit more.' Killer Bee and Jiraiya nodded and walked on ahead. Naruto ran and leaped up and chased the Kumo Anbu. He caught up to them a few minutes later and they had cornered the two girls. Naruto heard the Anbu talking, 'Now come back and we won't have to hurt you.' One of the girls spoke out, 'Yea right, they betrayed us, so no. We won't go back!'

The Anbu moved forward and Naruto jumped and landed between the Anbu and the girls. The Anbu stopped and the girls looked up at Naruto surprised. The head Anbu spoke up 'Get out of the way, Konoha shinobi.' Naruto shook his head, 'Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that.' 'And why can't you?' 'Simple I heard every word these girls said to you, someone obviously betrayed them and they don't want to go back so I figured I'd give them a hand.' The Anbu saw that Naruto wouldn't budge in his decision and attacked and Naruto went through some hand seals, 'Fuuton: Daitoppa!' The Anbu were blown back except one, the leader. He charged forward and threw a Kunai at Naruto who countered with his own and the put his hands in the familiar cross hand sign, 'Shadow Clone Jutsu!' Several Naruto appeared and they began to fight.

A few Naruto slid under the Anbu's guard and kicked him up into the air as other clones dropped down on him along with the original, shouting, 'Naruto Uzumaki Barrage!' Naruto and the rest of his clones kicked the Anbu captain at the same time, sending him flying towards the ground. He slammed into the ground and fell unconscious as Naruto landed beside him his clones dispelling as he looked at the girls, 'Are you two ok?' he asked. The girls blushed a bit especially when he reached down to help them up. Instead of accepting his hand they stood up and crashed into him, each hugging him from both sides saying 'Thank you, you saved us.' The girls rested their heads on his shoulders causing Naruto to blush at the close contact. Naruto looked at the girl on his right. She was wearing Anbu like gear only her pants were green and her top was purple with green edging on her armor and the girl on his left was the exact reverse with purple pants, and green top with purple edging on her armor. 'Um, not that I want to be rude or anything, but why are you holding me like this?'

The girls opened their eyes and Naruto noticed their eyes were different colors one eye was green and the other was purple, but the eyes were reversed for the girls. The girls let go and one looked down shyly, and the other looked at Naruto but both were blushing and they said, 'Sorry.' Naruto sighed and even though he suddenly felt like they was being watched, said, 'It's alright but who are you two?'

End of Ch. 6

Rate and review, let me know if I did better. And as for the Avatar the Last Air Bender mentioning, I was taking a break from thinking of what to write and I got on Netflix and scrolling through I saw that show and I was bored so I decided to put it in .-.
