(Hi, guys. I'm glad to see you enjoy the opening, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy it. Now while Naruto will be the Avatar he will still be a Konoha shinobi, but not as part of an official squad. Enjoy the chapter, friends.)

After a long flight to the South, Jinora's Sky Bison; Pepper landed outside the temple. Jinora used airbending on herself and Naruto to bring them safely onto the ground.

Jinora spoke to the boy, "Welcome, Naruto, to the Southern Air Temple."

Naruto looked all around in amaze, "Wow. It's like the whole temple's in the sky."

Jinora chuckled, "Well, these temples were built up to this high altitude to keep intruders from trying to reach them."

"I wanna see more of this place!" Naruto jumped up in excitement.

"Take it easy, Naruto. You will see more of the temple, but for now follow me." Jinora led Naruto into the temple.

As they walked Naruto saw multiple people dressed in monk garments similar to Jinora. They had bald heads and were practicing airbending. Naruto watched in awe at how they were able to move the air around them like Jinora could.

"Jinora!" a voice called.

The two looked up ahead and saw an old man about Jinora's age approaching them. He had dark skin an arrow tattoo on his forehead like Jinora, and grayish hair.

"Kai!" Jinora smiled, as the two embraced and kissed, much to Naruto's repulse at watching old people kiss each other.

The man named Kai asked, "So how did it go?"

"We have our Avatar, Kai." Jinora answered, and turned around, "Naruto, come here," Naruto approached, as Jinora continued, "Naruto, this is my husband and fellow airbender; Kai. Kai, this is Naruto Uzumaki."

The old man shook Naruto's hand, and spoke, "Well, it's very nice to meet you, Naruto."

"Uh, likewise, sir." he replied.

"Kai and I have been living here at the Southern Air Temple training new generations of airbenders." Jinora explained.

"And it looks like we got ourselves a new pupil." Kai joked.

"I guess so. So when I do start training?" Naruto asked.

"Before we get into any training, Naruto. Kai and I would like to educate you on the last few Avatars. There is much about them you should know."

"Sure." Naruto said, as he followed the elder couple into the temple.

The three entered a room loaded with statues. Naruto looked at them all and wondered, "What's with these statues?"

Jinora explained, "These statues are memorials for past Avatars."

"There are so many." Naruto gasped.

Kai nodded, "That's right. Ten Thousand Years worth of Avatars."

Jinora motioned Naruto to look at one statue of Wan and Raava, "See there? This is in memory of Wan and Raava. Take a look at some of them." she insisted.

Naruto walked up to some of the statues and looked up at them squinting at them, "So all of these guys were my past lives?"

Kai answered, "Precisely. Aside from such Avatar's as Wan, there was also Avatar Yangchen, Avatar Kuruk, Avatar Kyoshi, Avatar Roku, Avatar Aang, and finally..."

Naruto answered as he was looking up at a statue, "Korra."

The elder couple saw Naruto was standing before the last of the statues which depicted the last known Avatar; Korra.

Jinora smiled, "Though you've never met Korra, you remember her because she was your past life."

"So how is it I wasn't able to remember the others names?" Naruto wondered.

"Because the old connection to the past Avatar's was destroyed." Jinora answered.

"Destroyed, how?"

Jinora continued, "Before we get into it, let me tell you a story known as the Hundred Year War."

The three sat down, as Naruto asked, "Hundred Year War?"

"Yes. This all started a long-long time ago. During the time of Avatar Roku, his friend; Fire Lord Sozin sought to spread his homeland the Fire Nation worldwide. The other nations weren't willing to let the Fire Lord take their nations and so that set the stage for the hundred year war. When Roku's time came to an end, the Avatar was reborn as an air nomad by the name of Aang who would one day be known as my grandfather. Aang was a happy boy who learned everything under the guidance of Monk Gyatso. Then one day, Gyatso and the rest of the Air Temple sages revealed to Aang that he was the Avatar and was needed due to the war that had been going on. This news was very nerve wrecking to Aang, and if not worse his own fellow airbenders started rejecting him feeling as if him being the Avatar was an unfair advantage in their airbending games."

"I know how that feels." Naruto sighed.

Jinora continued, "The pressures the sages put on Aang with his training and responsibilities was unbearable to him, but Monk Gyatso tried to make sure Aang had a balanced life that still included fun. However, the other sages thought Gyatso was being too soft on him and planned to move Aang to another Air Temple away from Gyatso. Unfortunately, Aang overheard their plans and could no longer stay. One night he ran away with his Sky Bison Appa, and the two ended up caught in a very bad storm. The two ended up falling into the ocean and almost drowned. However, Aang was able to activate the Avatar State and used waterbending to freeze himself and Appa in solid ice preserving themselves."

"Whoa." The blonde gasped.

"Then a hundred years later, my grandmother Katara and granduncle Sokka from the Southern Water tribe found Aang and he was released. That day the two ventured with Aang across the world helping him search for masters to train him the other three bending arts so he would be able to take on Fire Lord Sozin's successor Fire Lord Ozai who wiped out eveyr other Airbender in the world while Aang was on ice. It was a long and perilous journey, but Aang with the help of his friends and allies were able to defeat Fire Lord Ozai and bring peace to the four nations. Aang would go on since then accomplishing many more great things."

"Aang sounded like an amazing Avatar."

Jinora nodded, "That he was. He had a title of being known as the Last Airbender, since the Airbender genocide."

"So if he was the last Airbender, how did the Air Nomads become populated again?" Naruto inquired.

"Well, Aang and Katara settled down and started a family composed of my uncle Bumi, Aunt Kya who was born a waterbender, and finally my father Tenzin who would be the first new Airbender in a hundred years. My father took it as his responsibility to his culture and his father to carry on the Air Nomad legacy. Eventually he met a woman named Pema who would one day become a mother to four."

"Four?"

"Yes. There was myself, and my siblings Ikki, Meelo, and Rohan. All four of us were born Airbenders and could help our father in restarting the Air Nomads."

Kai spoke up, "But during Korra's time she performed an act that awoken airbending in several normal people. Me included."

"So you weren't always an airbender?" Naruto asked.

"No. I was once a normal boy, a thief to be precise."

"You were a thief?"

"Yes. I would always play a tricky con by smuggling and stealing anything valuable until I met Korra, Jinora, and their friends. They brought me to the Northern Air Temple where I first learned the basics of airbending. Since then and over the years I eventually became a master Airbender." he motioned to his tattoo.

"Wow," Naruto gasped, "So what can you tell me about Korra?"

Jinora explained, "Korra was born in the Southern Water Tribe. My Gran-Gran helped teach her the ways of her native bending style with water, and as they years followed she learned how to use Earth and Fire bending from masters of the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation. When it was time for her to learn Airbending, she came all the way to Republic city to train with my father."

"Republic city?" the boy wondered.

Kai explained, "After the events of the hundred year war, Aang and his friend Zuko founded this metropolis as a haven for immigrants of all four nations bender and non-bender."

"Sounds like a paradise." Naruto smiled.

"Well, not always," Jinora admitted, much to Naruto's confusion, "Republic city was also famous for its rising crimes and gangs. One of the worse types of gangs was a cult known as Equalists."

"What's an Equalist?"

"The Equalists was a cult for non-benders to stand up to benders that made them feel oppressed." Jinora explained, "Their leader was a man known as Amon, who wanted to lead a revolution against all the benders of Republic City which would lead to a city war. But Korra put a stop to him and exposed him as a fraud thus ending the Equalists."

"Neat." Naruto smiled.

Kai spoke, "We'll be happy to tell you more about the life of Korra and many other stories, but you must be hungry after that long fly."

"I'm starving." Naruto admitted.

"Then follow us." Jinora said, as the old couple got up and led Naruto off.

Soon they were having a healthy dinner of vegetable dishes, while Naruto looked at all the leafy greens with a disturbed look, "Is this all there is here?"

"Sorry, Naruto, but here at the Air Temples, the monks are vegetarians," Kai explained, as Naruto looked dismal at the thought of not being able to eat ramen, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it." he chuckled to the boy.

Naruto spoke, "So what type of bending will I be learning first, air, fire, water?"

Jinora chuckled, "Slow down, Naruto. Don't get ahead of yourself. Before you begin learning any of those forms, you must first learn Earthbending; your birth bending from your mother."

"Ok, but who can I learn from since you're all Airbenders here?"

Jinora smiled, "Kai and I have some old friends who I know would be more than willing to teach you."

"Who?" Naruto asked excitedly.

Kai answered, "The last Team Avatar."

(And there's the chapter. Don't miss next time where Naruto begins his first bending training and gets to know a little more about more famous benders besides the Avatar. Also would it be a good ideas for Naruto to somehow learn a way to restore the broken link between the Avatars that came before Korra, or would that be a poor move since Korra was meant to be the next generation of Avatar and restoring the link to the previous ones would be like going back to the first generation? Oh, well. Enjoy.)
