Author Notes
Before we begin, I wanted to get this out of the way. For this story Naruto and the Konoha 12 are older than in canon. Most of them are 17 while Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee are 18. Mikoto is Sasuke's twin and is under apprenticeship under Yugao. Yugito and Mei are 17 as well.
Chapter One: The fox and the fire princess
Naruto watched in horror as the ship he was on sank beneath the waves. Kurama has been around for for a very long time. He never seen a storm like this before. Kit find something that floats! Kurama shouted.
Naruto spots a wooden desk floating barely. Naruto swims over to the desk and holds on for dear life. "What else could go wrong?" Naruto said to himself.
No sooner then he said that a loud roar could be heard above him. As Naruto looks up, he sees a flying red serpent dragon. It swoops down grabs Naruto and flies away.
Flash Back (Twelve hours earlier)
Naruto is having a very bad day. Thanks to Jiraiya's "research" Naruto is being chased again.
This mob of angry women are much larger than the last one.
"Damn that old pervert! When I find him, I am going to kill him!"
One of the women thrown a bar of soap at Naruto. It hit him on the back of the head causing him to fall. The mob swarmed and started to beat the crap out of him.
Later that night at the inn Naruto glares at Jiraiya. "What?" Jiraiya asked in an innocent tone.
Naruto sighed "When are you going to stop with these sick perversions of yours?"
"Never!"
Naruto face palms Why do I even bother? I should have stayed in Konoha and let the closet pervert teach me. I hope that Mikoto and Ino aren't fighting again. He thought.
Jiraiya grins as his perverted sense tingled. "Oh? think of your girls again?"
Nine tails chakra formed around Naruto "Pervy Sage I suggest you stop there. Otherwise, you might lose your favorite body part."
Jiraiya gulped not wanting a repeat of what happened last time. "Any ways let's talk about your training. Have you mastered the third chakra control exercise yet?"
The nine tails chakra vanished and Naruto grins "Mastered it this morning."
"Good here you go."
Jiraiya hands a new scroll with the emblem of a four. "Another chakra exercises?! How many are there?!"
"Twelve the last time I checked."
Naruto's eyes twitched "Twelve?! Are you kidding me?!"
"Calm down brat, because of the fox your chakra control is worse than the average Genin. You need to have near perfect chakra control. Other wise you won't be able to use the Jutsu I planned to teach you."
Naruto groans "How long will it take me to reach that level of training?"
Jiraiya starts counting his fingers "At the rate you going? I'd say two year seven months."
Naruto's eye twitched That's it! I am going to find a new teacher. All he does is peep at woman and brush me off. Naruto thought as he got an idea.
The next morning Jiraiya wakes up and has a funny feeling. He looks over at Naruto sleeping in his bed. Hm must been my imagination. Jiraiya thought as he gets out of bed.
From the window a large ship leaves port. Naruto enters his cabin. I gave my shadow clone enough chakra to last several months. All I need to do is get to Whirlpool and continue training. Naruto thought.
Hey kit, where's the pervert? Kurama yawned.
"Oh, good morning, Kurama. I got tired of his "research", so I decided to leave. We are going to Whirlpool to train."
About time. We can finally resume our training. Your still not ready to use all of my chakra. Kurama said.
"I am aware but there are several things I want to learn as well. My father's Jutsu for one."
Kit you may have learned to the 2nd Hokage's version. But your father's is more advanced. He had to reach level seven seal mastery. For him to improve the flying thunder god. Kurama said.
"Sounds like you and mom were close."
Kurama grins We were. Kushina was able to help me overcome my rage for humanity. They used my father's gift of charka for selfish reasons. Had it not been for that blasted Uchiha! She would be alive today! Kurama growled.
"We will get him Kurama. I promise you that."
Thanks kit. Kurama said.
It was Kushina's dying wish that Kurama looked after Naruto. This is one promised Kurama kept; Anyone who harms Naruto would answer to him. Naruto goes into his bag and pulls out paper and ink. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Seven clones appeared "Alright guys get to it."
While his clones practice calligraphy Naruto leaves his cabin. He goes to the deck I need to try to use that one jutsu. Naruto thought.
Flash Back (Valley of the end)
Naruto stood there as he felt Sasuke's Chidori pierce his chest. Ino stood behind Naruto in shock while Sakura was grinning. Sakura walks up to Sasuke to be by his side. He protected me. Ino thought.
"Dope you're in the way. I need to kill this worthless girl to get my Mangekyou Sharingan."
Ino feels her heart being crushed He planned this? Ino thought.
"Baka! Your always in Sasuke's way!"
"You have fallen far teme. You used Ino to gain power, but you never saw her true value. She's beautiful, smart and a capable Kunoichi. You're a fool for not seeing it." said Naruto causing Ino to blush.
Naruto coughs up blood "Why are you betraying the village?"
Sasuke laughed "For revenge dope. I know it was the council that ordered my clan to be massacred. Once I kill my brother for his role I will return."
Ino felt a shiver running down her spin. "I will slaughter every person in Konoha. Leaving only Sakura and my sister Mikoto alive. Both of them will bare my children and my clan will rule all of the land of fire. With me as daimyo." Sasuke started laughing.
Naruto uses more of Kurama's chakra and kicks Sasuke in the gut. Sasuke flew back several feet "Die with her then fool. Fire style fire ball jutsu!"
"Naruto move!" Ino shouted
To her horror Naruto stood his ground. Out of instinct Naruto moves his hands in a motion. The flames circles around Naruto and shot back at Sasuke. "What?!" Sasuke said in shock.
Sasuke jumps out of the way, but he wasn't fast enough. He received second degree burns on his left arm.
Flash back ends
Still haven't figure out how to do that move? Kurama asked.
"It has been hours and still nothing." Naruto said as he decides to call it a day.
As the sun starts to set Naruto sees a storm off in the distance. That can't be good. He thought.
Kit you might want to get your bag. I sense that storm is not normal. Kurama said.
Naruto nodded and went to his cabin as he grabs his back the ship lurch to port. Naruto hits his head on the wall. Blood poured from his face You alright. Kurama asked.
A woman screams "The ship is sinking!" a man shouted.
Naruto's ninja training kicked in as he leaves his quarters. The entire hallway is flooding with water. Right now, the water is ankle deep. Naruto sees where the woman scream came from. A pregnant woman was pinned under a wooden pillar. Her husband tries to free her "Someone help!"
Naruto runs over to help the couple. "Hold the pillar still."
The husband nods as Naruto forms an Rasengan then starts cutting through the pillar. "Once I am done remove the top piece first. Or it might fall on your wife."
"Ok."
Once cut in half both the husband and Naruto removes the pillar. Naruto helps up the pregnant woman. The three of them reach the deck. The only lifeboat left the sailor stops Naruto and the couple. "We only have enough room for two."
"Get on." Naruto said.
"But..."
Naruto gave them a reassured smile to the husband. "It's alright."
A wave slams into the ship. The force of the water was powerful enough to send Naruto flying. He landed several yards away and was dragged away from the ship.
Following morning
As dawn Naruto finds himself in a strange place. As he stands up, he sees two dragons one red and the other blue. "Um hello." Naruto said nervously.
The dragons' nods to Naruto. Kurama appears on Naruto's shoulder. "Ran and Shaw. I thought I recognized you."
"Friends of yours?" Naruto asked.
"Indeed. We haven't spoken in a long time."
Shaw laughs "Over a century give or take. I take it the boy is your vessel?"
"Indeed. I didn't realize we were near your home."
Naruto approached the red dragon and bows "Thank you for saving me."
"You are welcome hatchling."
Kurama laughs "What is the place?"
"This was once home to the Sun Warriors. After Avatar Aang's death the Fire Nation conquered the world. Many civilizations were lost due to the Fire Lord's ambitions. The Sun Warriors sacrificed themselves for Ran and I to flee. The great calamity that followed spelled the end of the age of bending."
"You might be wrong about that."
"Oh?" Shaw asked.
Kurama laughs "The kit is a fire bender."
"Really? That changes thing."
"He is still trying to figure out how to bend though."
Ran looks at Shaw who nods "There is one that could teach the boy his lost heritage."
"Go to the ruins there you will find what you're searching for. Be warned once you step foot on this path your life would forever change."
Naruto nods as he walks towards the ruins "Do you think he would be able to unseal the princess?"
"For her sake I hope so."
Ruins (Thirty minutes later)
Naruto enters in the remains of the largest building. "So, I take it this Fire Nation was before your father's time?"
Naruto ducks under a fallen beam "Yes. How much time before is unknown. The age of calamity that followed last thousands of years. The world is far different than it is today. Do you hear a whirling sound?"
"It's coming from the next room."
Naruto and Kurama find a large crack in the wall. "In here."
Naruto squeezes through the crack and sees a massive sphere of wind with several rings. One of fire, water and rocks. "I take it this is what your friends were talking about."
Kurama enters his seal Careful kit there's a lot of energy being produced by that thing. Kurama said.
Naruto approached the sphere inside he could see someone. "Well Naruto it's now or never."
As he touches the sphere, he has a vision.
Vision
Naruto is in a massive courtyard filled with almost a hundred soldiers. Naruto sees a young man around his age standing on podium, the left side of his face is burnt. That must have hurt. Naruto thought.
Standing next to the man a young woman around Naruto's age. One has dark skin and hair dressed in a backless red dress. "Bring out the prisoners!"
Naruto looks to his left to see a young man a few younger than him. Bald with a strange arrow tattoo on his forehead. The second person is a young woman with long black hair, golden amber eyes and dressed in tattered clothes. "Our nation has spread throughout the entire world. The earth kingdom and all of its allies are ashes!"
The soldiers cheered Naruto glares that the man. He reminds me of Sasuke. Naruto thought.
"All is left is to remove the last resistance."
"Lord Zuko! Lord Zuko!" The soldiers shouted.
Zuko looks at the bald young man "Avatar Aang, normally I wouldn't do this. But you saved my life so in return I offer you a choice."
Aang looks at Zuko is rage in his eyes "I will allow you and your girlfriend Katara to leave. All you have to do is seal my former sister Azula away."
"What?!"
Azula looks at Aang. "It's alright Aang save Katara and escape."
"No. You're my best friend I couldn't."
"What is it going to be Avatar?"
Azula gave Aang a look "You have no options left my friend." Azula said.
"I grow tired of this, take Katara back to the dungeon I will have fun with her later."
"Wait!"
Zuko looks at Aang "Well?"
"I'll do it."
A soldier approached Aang, however before releasing his binds Zuko nodded. Another solder got behind Katara and pressed his blade against her throat. Once his hands were freed Aang enters the Avatar state "I am truly sorry."
"It's alright." Azula said.
The sky starts to turn black as an ominous eclipse begins. Aang formed the wind sphere followed by rings of rocks, fire and water. As Aang finished sealing his friend away he lifts the sphere high in the air. Ran and Shaw swoops in and caught the sphere before flying away.
For this action Zuko nods to the soldier. Aang sees the blood spray from Katara's neck. "NOOOOOOO!" Aang shouted as goes into a full enraged state.
No longer caring if he dies as well, he just kept charging. Flames and arrows pierced Aang's body as he falls mere inches from Zuko. Naruto closes his eyes and prays for Aang "Rest in peace Avatar Aang. Know that I will help and protect your friend with my life."
"Thank you." Aang said as he dies (while in the Avatar state)
Zuko looks confused.
Vision (Azula's POV)
Azula standing in the middle of Konoha in the middle of the night. "Where am I?"
Aang appeared in front of Azula "You're seeing the memories of the young man who is touching your seal."
"Aang? But how?"
"I am just a remnant of Avatar Aang. I wanted to make sure the person to frees you has a pure heart."
Seven-year-old Naruto runs through Azula as he tries to get away from a crowd. "Get back here demon!"
Azula and Aang decides to follow the crowd. They would regret doing that, they watch the crowd beat up Naruto. Then use him for target practice a half an hour later. "Has the Fire Nation become so low they would attack a defenseless child?"
The time fast forward to Naruto during the six weeks of D rank missions. Waiting for his team Naruto has over two dozen books. That he "barrowed" from the library; After finished reading one Naruto goes over to a tree.
Azula and Aang saw several more memories of Naruto's past. "This Naruto reminds me of you before joining my team. Like you he hides his true self behind a mask. He's far stronger than everyone believes him to be."
Naruto appeared before Azula and Aang. "Where am I? Are you Azula?"
"I am."
"Wow, your very beautiful."
Azula blushes at Naruto's compliment. Naruto looks away when sees Azula's undergarment. Aang smiles I knew he would be the one to save Azula. Aang thought.
"Any ways could one of you please explain what is going on?"
"As you saw Azula's memories I sealed her away to protect her from Zuko. I have a request please take Azula with you."
"What?"
"This is not her world anymore and she needs to start over. I would feel better knowing she is in good hands."
Azula looks at Aang "I don't think this is a good idea."
Naruto grins "I have no problem taken her back to Konoha."
Azula eyes widen "You barely know me Naruto."
"It's fine."
Aang approached Naruto "I am in your debt Naruto Uzumaki. As thanks I have a gift for you."
Aang places his hand on Naruto's forehead. Naruto could feel a rush of power course through him. Aang's eyes widened when he sensed a familiar energy within Naruto. I see. Aang thought.
"The reason why you can't fire bend is because of your seal. I have strengthened your fire bending so the seal won't effect it anymore."
Naruto bows "Thank you, Avatar Aang."
Azula starts crying "Please don't leave me Aang."
He gave her a sad smile "I am sorry my friend but your time in this world is not over. One day we will meet again. I will tell the others you're in good hands."
Naruto opens his eyes and sees Azula laying on the floor. He takes off his jacket and puts on Azula to protect dignity. He then picks her up bridal style then leaves.
Azula wakes up as the sun starts to set. Naruto is trying to learn the dancing dragon. "Ah your awake. You must be hungry."
Naruto walks over to the campfire and picks up a fish on a stick. He hands it to Azula "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Naruto takes two larger fish then gives them to Ran and Shaw. "I know you will need to time to think and adjust. I will be here when you need me."
"Thank you. I have a question, why hide your abilities?"
Naruto rubs the back of his head "A lot of people back home hate me. I thought it be best if I hide my abilities."
"You and I are not so different. Like you I hid my potential and tried to be there for Zuko. But that cost me everything. I don't want you to make the same mistake with Sasuke."
Naruto looks down at the ground, Azula has an idea "You're looking for a sensei. I will teach you how to fire bend."
Naruto smiles "Really?"
"I will also teach you other things. Including dropping that mask of yours."
"Like you that will take time."
Azula smiles for the first time in a long time. "We got three years. Are you ready?"
"Hai Azula Sensei."
"Get some rest we start training at first light."
Naruto pulls out a spare bed roll out of a storage scroll. "Thank you."
Both Naruto and Azula goes to bed right next to Ran and Shaw. As the sun starts to rise Azula was the first to stir. Why am I hearing a heartbeat? She thought as she opens her eyes.
Azula starts to blush as she realizes her head is on Naruto's chest. She starts releasing killer intent as she raises her hand.
As she was about to throw a punch Kurama appeared on Naruto's shoulder. "Just so you know, the kit is still on his side of the camp."
Azula eyes widened "Why did I?"
Before Kurama could answer Naruto starts to stir. Naruto sits up and rubs his eyes. He sees Azula sitting on her bed roll. "Good morning. Why is your face red? Are you sick Azula?"
"No, I am fine. Any ways let's begin."
Kurama laughs causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow "What's so funny?"
"Nothing."
Time Skip (Seven Months Later)
Ran and Shaw saw the progress Naruto was making and were impressed with the boy. Naruto rolls under Azula's blue flames and does a spinning kick. Knocking Azula off of her feet. Naruto places his finger at Azula's neck. "This match is mine. Azula."
"Nicely done Naruto."
Naruto helps Azula to her feet. "We will continue with Lightning bending after lunch. Then you can continue your training with Ran and Shaw."
Naruto receive the memories of the shadow clone he left with Jiraiya. "Can we take a break?"
"Five minutes."
Naruto smiles as he watches Azula walks away. "Beautiful."
Kit your so whipped. Kurama laughed.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Gamakichi hops out of the smoke "Hey Naruto what is up?"
"Gamakichi how are you?"
"Great."
Gamakichi sees Azula "Hey Naruto, is that your girl?"
Naruto grinned "Yes she is."
He instantly blushes when he realizes what he said. "You have good taste, any ways what you need?"
"I need you to send a message to Konoha."
Tsunade's office (One week later)
"What do you mean you lost Naruto?!" Tsunade said as she smashed her desk.
"You see Tsunade, he tricked me by using a shadow clone."
Shizune enters the office as Tsunade falls in her chair. "Damn it, Jiraiya! I told the council you were training Naruto seriously. He probably got sick of your "research" and left."
Gamakichi appears in Tsunade's lap "Where the desk?" he asked.
"What do you want?" Tsunade said in a flat tone.
"If you are going to act that way I will go home. I will take Naruto's message with me."
Tsunade's eyes widened "Could you please give it to me?"
Gamakichin hands Tsunade the scroll. Seeing there was a sealing array inside she looks at Jiraiya. After handing it over Jiraiya places it on the ground and applied chakra to it. In a poof of smoke, a shadow clone appeared. "Baa-chan and Pervy sage."
Tsunade leaks killer intent. "Where are you hiding brat?!"
The shadow clone takes a step back "Careful I am a shadow clone. You might want to rethink on punching me."
"Ok fine."
"Kid you need to return to Konoha. You're in a lot of trouble."
"No, I am not. The pass I have allows me to remain outside of Konoha for training. Unless the Hokage orders me to return."
"You better have a good reason for leaving Jiraiya. Or I will recall you."
Naruto looks at Jiraiya "I do. The training I was receiving wasn't helping."
Tsunade glares at Jiraiya "So I decided to go to whirlpool."
"You're in Whirlpool?"
"Not at the moment. Let's just say I found a sensei that is training me to use my kekkei Genkai."
Tsunade eyes widened "You have a kekkei genkai? Chakra chains?"
"You're not going to guess it. Anyways I am returning to Konoha in a few months. For the Chunin exams. Also, I want my heritage revealed."
"You know?"
Naruto looks at Jiraiya "I know since I was four. Anyways I request my heritage to be made public."
"I can't do that unless you show your strong enough to protect yourself brat."
Naruto has a smirk "Alright, what if I win the Chunin exams?"
Tsunade, Shizune and Jiraiya laughs their asses off. But their eyes widen when Naruto wasn't laughing. "Your serious?"
"Very."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow "Let's make a bet. If I win the Chunin exams, you have made the announcement. At the first council meet after the exams."
"What if you lose? What do I get?"
"I am aware you have a large debt that still outstanding. I will use my clan's bank account to settle your debt."
Tsunade thought for a moment "Deal. You have three months before the next Chunin exams. Be back a week before."
"You can't be serious?! He's nowhere near ready to protect himself."
"You will be surprised Pervy Sage. Oh, before I go, I need citizenship papers."
"For whom?"
Naruto blushes both Tsunade and Shizune noticed "When I return to Konoha my Sensei is coming with me."
Tsunade smiles "I am assuming by the way you're blushing it's a girl?"
Jiraiya starts giggling "Her name is Azula. She is amazing, in many ways she reminds me of you baa-chan. You two would get along well."
"Can't wait to meet her."
After the shadow clone poof Jiraiya returns to his serious face. "Tsunade, there is no way Naruto will be strong enough to protect himself. Not from Iwa or Kumo."
"Let's see how Azula's training helps Naruto. We will go from there. Agreed?"
"Fine."
With Naruto and Azula
Azula watch Naruto trying to create a new fire bending style. Azula was unaware that Shaw is behind her "I notice you been watching the boy more in the last few months."
"I am his sensei I need to keep an eye on him."
"Oh? Is that what you're telling yourself? You been using Naruto as your pillow for months."
Azula entire face turns red causing Shaw to laugh. "I been around humans long enough to know you're in love with Naruto."
"I am not!"
"Your mind might not accept it yet. But your heart has."
"What do I do?"
"Take your time."
Both Azula and Shaw watch Naruto get tackled by an orange and red baby dragon. The dragon licks Naruto's whisker marks "Furea (Flare) that tickles!" He laughed.
"It seems you have competition."
Azula laughs for a second Is it alright to love Naruto? Azula thought.
Three weeks later
Naruto and Azula rides Shaw "I will drop you off outside of your clan's former village. There you continue your training."
"We are in your debt Shaw. If you ever need Azula or my help, seek us out."
"No need."
A cloaked figure watches them fly overhead. You may have escaped your seal. But you haven't escaped my grasp. The cloak figure said.
Until next time
