(Welcome to my next chapter where Naruto visits the sixth of his ladies, the littlest one might I add. Enjoy away.)

On an airship, Naruto and the rest of his squad were currently on their way to Ba Sing Se. Naruto looked out the window of the ship, seeing the famed city right up ahead.

"There it is, Ba Sing Se." Naruto told his squad.

"One of the biggest capitol's in the Earth Empire." Kakashi noted.

"What sort of events went down here?" Sasuke asked.

"Many, Sasuke," Naruto began, "Even in other places of the Earth Empire many great things happened. Like in Omashu where Avatar Aang met Bumi, and boy those two really knew how to have fun and let loose. And in this city Iroh once laid siege here back when he was general in the Fire Nation's army."

Anything happen during Korra's time?" Sakura asked.

Naruto looked at Sakura and answered, "As a matter of fact, yes. But it wasn't a pretty memory."

"What happened?" Sasuke asked.

"Well, when the Red Lotus invaded Ba Sing Se, the Earth Queen was murdered by Red Lotus leader Zaheer. After that he led the civilians of the lower ring into an uprising plunging the capital into chaos."

"Whoa." Sakura gasped.

"After Zaheer was defeated and captured, a lot of effort was put into reestablishing order to it. But that in return gave birth to the next threat Kuvira. Even though she succeeded in bringing back order to the capital, she continued to pursue the rest of the Earth Kingdom territory including Republic City wanting it all to be united."

"One bad guy goes another comes up." Sakura sighed.

"That's the way things have been in these lands." Naruto replied, recalling all the enemies the Avatar's throughout history have dealt with.

Soon enough the airship touched down on a landing platform. The group got off as supplies were being loaded off by many Dai Li.

Sasuke noticed them, and asked Naruto, "Who're those guys?"

"The Dai Li, an Earthbending police force of Ba Sing Se. Back in the days of Aang and Korra they weren't exactly allies."

"What do you mean?" Sakura wondered, as Kakashi spoke.

"From what I've studied the rulers they served be it the Earth King, Queen, or even their own commander have always upheld justice using fear and power to suppress criminals or those who are deemed a threat."

"Jeez." Sasuke replied in shock.

"But don't worry under new management these guys are a hundred percent legit." Naruto assured them.

"Big brother Naruto!" came a familiar voice. The group looked seeing Mitsuki running up to Naruto with excitement, "You're here! You're finally here!" she ran into Naruto's embrace, as the boy patted the young girls head.

"It's good to see you too, Mitsuki."

"Mitsuki!" came a voice as Bolin and Opal were coming by on a hovering rock platform to save them from running.

Opal spoke, "You really shouldn't run ahead of us."

"I can't help it gran-gran. Naruto's here." Mitsuki replied.

"Master Bolin. Master Opal. It's good to see you two." Naruto greeted them with a warm embrace.

"It's great to see you too, Naruto." Opal smiled.

"And the rest of you." Bolin put in.

"Thank you both." Kakashi replied.

"This is a real nice city." Sakura noted.

"Yeah, when it's not the center of uprisings and wars," Bolin put in, "It may have been so many years ago and yet it always seems to feel like yesterday."

Naruto whispered to Sakura and Mitsuki, "Old people talk." the girls giggled at the joke.

"Naruto, can you come play with me and the others?" Mitsuki asked, while giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Well..." Naruto trailed off, as the girl continued to give him the pout.

"Please..."

"Well, ok." he answered.

"Yes!" Mitsuki cheered.

"Naruto, you realize we're supposed to supervise the transported goods until they are properly stored." Kakashi reminded him of the mission.

"Already covered." Naruto summoned a single shadow clone to act as his stand in, "Besides, Tsunade-baasan chose us not only because I'm familiar with Ba Sing Se during my Avatar Training, but because I have friends here who I haven't seen in months."

"Kids got a point." Bolin agreed.

Kakashi sighed, "Very well. Just remember where we'll be staying."

"I know, sensei. I know," Naruto smiled at Mitsuki and lifted her up so he was carrying her piggy back, "Here we go!" He started using Airbending to launch himself off into the air and landing peacefully on the ground before doing it again.

Bolin chuckled, "Oh to be that young again."

Sakura turned to Sasuke, as the two answered together, "Old people talk." Naruto's clone chuckled.

Meanwhile out in the city, Naruto was walking around with Mitsuki while taking in the surroundings like before.

As Naruto walked many of the shop owners and residents were greeting him, "Naruto, good to see you!" one shop owner greeted him.

"Hi, Osin."

"Naruto, how are you?" a lady sleeping outside her home greeted him.

"Doing good, Ms. Miku."

"Naruto!" came a cry of voices, as he saw a bunch of boys and girls Mitsuki's age running over.

"Hey, guys. Long time no see." Naruto greeted the children who gathered around him.

"Can you show us your bending, Naruto?" a boy pleaded.

"Yes. Please show us!" a little girl begged.

"Ok-ok. But just for a bit." Naruto began, as he used his Airbending to lift some light items nearby, mostly fruit. He continued to use Airbending to make them fly around above their heads.

The children clapped at Naruto's performance, as he gently used his Airbending to lower the items back to where they were.

"You're awesome, Naruto!" a boy cheered.

"The best." Mitsuki smiled.

"Hold your applause until you've seen me at my best." Naruto answered, as he used Waterbending to bend some water out of a well and made it circle around him and the children before molding it in the shape of a badgermole and using ice turned it into a small ice sculpture.

The children applauded, as Naruto handed the little sculpture to Mitsuki who blushed, "Thank you, Naruto.

"No problem at all, Mitsuki." Naruto replied, as he ruffled her hair.

Later on, Naruto and Mitsuki were having a bite on one of the building rooftops while looking out at the sunset, "Sunset sure looks beautiful from way up here." Naruto smiled in nostalgia.

"It's gorgeous," Mitsuki smiled, as she leaned closer to Naruto, "I'm really glad you came here, Naruto. Sometimes I worry one day I might not see you again."

"What do you mean?" Naruto looked at her.

"You're the Avatar and a shinobi. You face dangerous stuff when you least expect it. I'm just afraid if something happens to you in the line of duty I..." Mitsuki was cut off as Naruto pulled her into an embrace. Mitsuki felt flustered, and spoke, "Naruto?"

"You don't have to be afraid, Mitsuki. Ok maybe a little, but you don't have to let that fear overtake you. Because I won't be alone whenever I face anything dangerous. I'll have my team with me, and even if I don't have anyone at my side I still won't feel alone, because I have Avatar Korra to guide me." he smiled.

Mitsuki smiled, as Naruto leaned in and whispered, "And you and everyone else are always with me no matter where I am. Just as I'm always with you."

Mitsuki smiled and suddenly pecked Naruto's cheek, taking the boy by surprise, "Wow. Not that I didn't like it, but what was that for?"

"It's for being such a good friend. I love you so very much." she embraced him, "Naruto. I'd like it if we all stayed together forever."

"We?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. Me, you, Ming, Sakura, Ino, Naomi, and Hinata. You guys are the best. And I always want to be with all of you together."

Naruto smiled, as he patted the girls head and spoke, "Yeah. I'd like that too." he smiled, as he envisioned himself with all six of the girls who were the most precious to him.

Meanwhile in the Hidden Sound village, inside Orochimaru's compound, Five shinobi were training against one another, until the door opened.

"That's enough!" he ordered, and the five ceased their spar.

They looked seeing the person standing before them had his face wrapped in bandages with one visible eye. An eye belonging to who else but Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru." one wielding bone swords gasped.

"Yes, Kimimaro. It's me." Orochimaru confirmed.

"So you had to switch to another body?" another with six arms asked.

"I'm afraid so, Kidomaru. My old vessel was useless without my jutsu. But now with a new body I can use them again."

"We're so glad for you, my lord." another member with two heads answered.

"I know, Sakon. However it'll take some time before I can adjust to this body. In the meantime, I require your assistance."

"As always we serve you without question, Lord Orochimaru." Kimimaro replied.

"So what is it you want us to do?" a big guy asked.

"Well, Jirobo. I need the five of you to lure the Avatar out and eliminate him."

A red haired girl spoke up, "The Avatar? You mean that brat who tried to destroy you?"

"Exactly, Tayuya. That brat has stood in my way ever since the second part of the Chunin Exams. And now thanks to him I've lost my jutsu, and partially my desired vessel. We destroy him there will be one less obstacle in my way. I trust you five can do this?"

Kimimaro answered, "You have our word, my lord."

"Good. Then prepare yourselves and be ready when I give the word." Orochimaru finished, as he left the room.

The five stood together, as Jirobo spoke, "Do you really think we can actually destroy the Avatar?"

"Hey, dumbass! If you ask questions like that then how do you expect us to actually do it?!" Tayuya snapped.

"Well, he did take Lord Orochimaru's jutsu." Jirobo reminded her.

"Nevertheless," Kimimaro replied, "Lord Orochimaru has given us this assignment to prepare for. And we will not fail him." he finished as the five touched a particular marking on their bodies knowing what they'd have to do in order to match the power of the Avatar.

(And there's the chapter. Don't miss next time where Naruto's lured out by the Sound Five and fight to survive. Also Naruto is paired up with the kunoichi trio of Hinata, Sakura, and Ino, along with his three bending friends Ming, Naomi, and Mitsuki. Catch you all later.)
