Chapter 3
(The next morning)
Naruto was up, getting ready for the day.
"Is Aang back yet?" Naruto asked his group, as he walked over to them.
"No, he's been in town looking for Bumi all night" Will said, looking up from eating her breakfast.
Naruto frowned at this. "Wow, they must be close friends if he's that worried," he said.
"Yea, they used to slide down the chutes when they were younger," Katara said.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this.
"So, what's the plan for the prisoner exchange?" Yue asked Naruto, as she fed the Fire Nation baby, who played with some strands of her hair.
"Pretty much, we go ahead with this. But be ready, in case they try anything" Naruto said, as he watched Kurama try to get away from the Fire Nation baby, who was trying to reach for his tail when he spotted him.
He then noticed Aang coming over while on the back of what looked like a cross between a gorilla and a goat, before said animal stopped in front of them and allowed Aang to jump off.
"No luck?" Will asked.
Aang shook his head at this, with an upset look.
"Well relax, we will get him today at the exchange" Naruto said, as they got ready to go.
Meanwhile, Kurama and the strange animal were staring at each other, before they began playing with each other, while Momo watched from a tree branch.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later, in Omashu)
Naruto and the group were inside Omashu, in front of a statue that looked under construction, with Aang wearing a covering over his head, to hide his arrow tattoo.
Sokka was holding the baby while they waited, while Momo sat on Aang's shoulder.
Naruto saw what looked like 3 girls approaching, and his eyes widened when he recognized them. "Oh great" he said to himself as he face palmed, seeing that it was Azula, Mai and Ty Lee.
"You know them?" Katara asked curiously.
Naruto gave a small nod. "Fraid so. I met two of them at the circus, and the other while looking around Omashu" he said with a sigh.
"Good job, horndog," Sokka said, giving him a frown while crossing his arms.
"Hey! I didn't hit on them….well, mostly" Naruto admitted, as he rubbed his neck.
Will quirked an eyebrow at this.
"I hit on the gloomy one yesterday ok" Naruto said with a slight shrug.
Azula raised an eyebrow at this, and turned to look at Mai in interest.
"He didn't know who I was, and was trying to cheer me up," Mai said, sounding bored.
Ty Lee giggled at this. "Did you give him a thank you kiss?" she asked with a smile.
Mai ignored this, and looked at Naruto. "Did you bring my brother?" she asked, a slight edge in her voice, which Naruto barely caught.
"Shit" Naruto thought to himself in slight panic.
"Did you bring Bumi?" Aang asked, a look of determination on his face.
Mai nodded at this, and looked up.
The others looked up, and saw what looked like Bumi in an iron coffin-like box, being lowered down with a chain, with only his head shown.
"Oh, hello everyone. Nice weather we're having today, isn't it?" Bumi said, with a crazy grin.
"Ah, clever" Will said, understanding why they kept him in this.
"Excuse me, can I ask a question?" Azula asked Mai with a slight grin.
"Of course," Mai said.
"We are trading a powerful earth bending king for an infant, right?" Azula asked.
Bumi nodded at this while grinning crazily, along with Mai who still looked bored.
"It doesn't seem fair to me," Azula said with a shrug.
Naruto scowled at this. "Be ready to run," he said to Sokka, who instantly got out Appa's whistle.
"Your right…..the deal is off" Mai said, before Bumi was lifted away
"Heh heh, bye bye everyone" Bumi said with a laugh.
Aang instantly ran forward, in pursuit of Bumi.
Azula shot forward, and fired some blue fire at Aang, but he jumped after Bumi, avoiding the fire but making his head covering get loose.
Azula's eyes widened in surprise at this. "The Avatar….my lucky day" she said, as she ran after Aang, and used a chain to pursue him.
"Idiot" Naruto said, as he noticed Ty Lee and Mai run at them.
"Go help Aang, we will deal with them" Will said, taking a step forward.
Naruto nodded, as he used his Airbending to jump and pursue Aang. But he noticed that Mai threw a knife at him, which cut his cheek.
"Great, I hit on a girl with killer aim," Naruto thought, as he ran after Azula and Aang.
He saw that Aang had gotten to Bumi, and was riding the iron box he was in on the slide, with Azula right behind him in a rocky box.
Naruto made a massive ball of air, and threw it at Azula knocking her off the slide, and down to the streets below.
Naruto pursued Azula, and landed on the street below, across from her.
"You are either very brave, or stupid to get in my way" Azula said with a calculating look on her face.
"Well, some people say I'm a bit of both," Naruto said with a shrug, as he readied his staff.
"That's twice you have defied me now….you won't do that a third time" Azula said, as she took a fighting stance, with her fingers in pointing motions.
"We will see," Naruto said, with a look of steel on his face.
Azula glared at Naruto at this, both frustrated and intrigued by Naruto.
They both looked at each other, before Azula made the first move, and fired a ball of azure fire at Naruto, which he blocked with his spinning staff.
Naruto was jumping around, dodging Azula's attacks or blocking them.
"You're skilled for someone from an extinct people," Azula said.
"You should see me when I'm really trying," Naruto said with a smile, as he jumped out of the way of another fireball.
Azula paused at this, but grinned slightly as she attacked some more.
"She's actually enjoying this" Naruto thought with a slight chuckle, as he dodged some more balls of flame.
As Azula fired another attack, a wall of white fire blocked her attack's path.
Azula looked to the side, and saw Will was here, who was stretching showing she was ready to fight. "Ah, the one with white fire that my soldiers are afraid of," she said.
"Yea. Now normally, I would let Naruto handle this, but he seems to be having too much fun with you, and I wanna see how I measure up to you" Will said, as she took a stance.
"Honey, I had this," Naruto said from the rooftop.
"No, you didn't. You were just playing around, and checking her out" Will said, not taking her eyes off Azula.
Azula paused slightly at this, but quickly composed herself before she fired an attack at Will.
Will ran forward, and at the right moment slid on her knees under the azure fire, and before Azula could react, Will fired a blast at Azula.
Azula jumped to the side, and fired at Will, who jumped over the attack with some fire boosting her jump.
Will soon landed on the rooftop next to Naruto, with a smile on her face. "I can see why you like messing with her sweetie. She's fun to mess with" she said with a smile.
"You dare mock me?" Azula asked Will with a glare.
"A little bit. But I would have to like you, to actually mock you. You're just interesting for now" Will said with a grin.
Azula growled at this and made a motion with her hands, charging some lighting in them.
Will's eyes widened at this, but she soon smirked.
Azula fired her lighting at Will, which struck her causing Azula to grin in victory. But her eyes soon widened in shock, as Will let the lighting strike one hand, and in an instant Will pointed her other hand at the air, and fired her attack into the sky.
Will's fingers were smoking, as she had a wide smile on her face. "Oh, I definitely like her," Will said, as she blew on her fingers.
"Yea. Too bad she's evil huh?" Naruto asked with his own smile, as he leaned against his staff.
"I refuse to accept this insult!" Azula yelled out, with her hands shaking from her rage as she glared at Will and Naruto, with fire in her eyes.
"Yeah, well tough," Will said with a smirk.
"Yea. And as fun as it is to mess with you, we have to go now" Naruto said with his own smirk, as he jumped off the roof, and took off after Appa, who he saw had just picked up Aang.
Will nodded at this, and made a firewall to block Azula's path, before she also left to pursue Naruto. "See ya later, princess" Will yelled back to her.
Azula scowled at this. "This isn't over!" she yelled out after them.
"Oh, I hope not. You're way too much fun to mess with!" Will yelled over her shoulder with a laugh.
"You do realize she's gonna be after you, now that you have hurt her pride," Naruto asked his girlfriend, looking down at her with a raised eyebrow as he flew overhead.
"What did you two do?" Katara asked, as they both got on Appa.
"We distracted her. Where is Bumi?" Naruto asked, looking around for the king.
"He told me he has to stay behind for now. And, that I have to find an Earthbending teacher who waits, and listens" Aang said, with an upset look that he was leaving his friend behind.
"Hmmm. Well, if that's what he feels is best, then I'm sure he knows what he's doing" Naruto said with a shrug.
"So, where are we gonna find another Earthbender to teach Aang?" Yue asked curiously.
Everyone thought about it, as Appa flew out of Omashu.
^0o0o0o0^
(With Azula)
Azula was furious, as she headed back to Mai and Ty Lee. "I'll get those two, and make them both pay!" she thought to herself in anger. When she arrived at the construction site, she saw that the two girls were without any prisoners. "What happened?" she asked with a glare.
"The Avatar's friends got away from us," Mai said boredly, with her arms crossed.
"What are their skills?" Azula asked, wanting to know what she was dealing with.
"Two of them were Waterbenders, with one a non bender" Ty Lee said.
"The Firebender took off after you, but she….." Mai was saying, before she trailed off while looking off to one side.
"What?" Azula asked, demanding to know.
"She flirted with us," Ty Lee said with a smile, her arms crossed behind her back.
"Are you telling me, that a powerful Firebender, is nothing more than an annoying flirt?" Azula asked, her eyebrow twitching in annoyance.
"What's got you mad?" Mai asked curiously, tilting her head.
"Ooooo, she hit on you too didn't she?" Ty Lee asked with a giggle.
"Are we going after them or not? I'm more than willing to get out of this city" Mai said with a shrug.
"What about your brother?" Ty Lee asked with a frown.
Before Mai could respond, she saw Kurama running over and placing Tom Tom down, before running off.
"Huh, they have a spirit with them?" Azula asked in surprise.
"Oooo, he was so cute!" Ty Lee said with a large smile, clapping her hands together.
Mai picked up her little brother, and saw he had a note pinned to his shirt.
Mai took the note and opened it, and after a moment she scoffed before she tossed the letter away.
Ty Lee instantly grabbed the letter, and looked at it.
:Sorry for all this. Hope to see your beautiful smile soon ….Naruto:
"Awwwww, he likes you! You're so lucky!" Ty Lee said with a smile at Mai, who looked away from them, so they wouldn't see her small smile.
^0o0o0o0^
(With Naruto the next day)
Naruto was getting bored, as they all flew over a massive swamp.
"Are you doing ok?" Yue asked, looking down at Naruto, who was resting his head in her lap, as she ran her fingers through his hair lightly.
"Just bored," Naruto told her.
"I don't blame you. This swamp gives me the creeps, and we aren't even in it" Will said, looking over the side of Appa's saddle.
Kurama was looking down at the swamp curiously, and soon his fur was on end as he started to growl.
"What's got you so upset, fluffy?" Sokka asked
Naruto soon stood up, and looked over the edge off Appa, while Aang was flying the bison closer to the swamp.
"Hey! What's the deal?" Will asked, getting Aang to snap out of it, as he shook his head slightly.
Yue grabbed Naruto's hand, making him stop looking over Appa's saddle.
"What's wrong Aang? Katara asked curiously.
"I don't know. I feel like this swamp is calling to me" Aang said.
"Yea, I feel that too," Naruto said with a nod.
"Yea, no way. This place is too creepy" Sokka said with a shake of his head.
"Yea, I agree with boomerang boy" Will said, causing Sokka to frown at her for the nickname.
"Plus, I think Kurama may riot if we land here," Katara said, seeing that Kurama was still growling, while his fur stood on end.
Before Naruto could respond, a massive tornado was behind them which Appa got caught in.
"What the hell?!" Will yelled out.
Yue grabbed onto Naruto, trying to not fall. But the wind was too strong, and they all were scattered and sent falling down to the swamp.
^0o0o0o0^
(With Naruto)
Naruto was on the floor, groaning from his fall.
"Ok, this place is definitely not normal" Naruto said, as he got up and dusted himself off.
He looked around, and saw that he was surrounded by a massive amount of tree branches. "Huh, reminds me of the Forest of Death" he thought to himself.
He then heard yelling nearby, knowing who it was.
"I'm gonna burn this mother fucker down!" Will was heard screaming out loudly.
"Will, stop!" Yue was heard yelling.
Naruto then took off jumping, and started jumping from tree to tree, where he soon saw Will and Yue in a clearing. Will with fire in her hands, and Yue trying to calm her down.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked, as he landed next to them.
"Well, we are in a swamp that is running its mouth!" Will yelled out.
"I think she saw a vision, and it made her mad," Yue said with an unsure look.
"I'm not mad! I know I'm my own person, damn it!" Will yelled, while throwing her head back.
Naruto frowned at this, as he knew what Will probably saw, and pulled her into a hug to calm her down.
Will hesitated, but took a deep breath and hugged Naruto back.
"Are you OK now?" Naruto asked, as he rubbed her back.
"Yea, I'm fine," Will said with a nod.
"I'm glad. Now, let's go find the others" Yue said, sounding worried.
"Think you can use some of that old sage ability of yours to find the others?" Will asked, hoping Naruto at least had his sage senses at the very least.
Naruto took a moment, and sat down on the floor as he started to meditate, after taking a stance that Aang taught him.
Naruto reached out with his senses, and felt all kinds of life energy around him, and soon he found the others.
"Found them" he said, as he got up.
"Good, then let's get going," Will said.
Naruto nodded, as he picked Yue up in his arms to carry her. "You gonna be ok keeping up?" he asked Will.
"I'll be fine babe. I can fire flames from my feet to fly a little" Will said.
"Don't hurt the swamp," Naruto said.
Will paused at this, and was gonna make a comment. But Naruto gave her a look that said she should listen, and she knew when to listen to Naruto, and now seemed like the right time. "Ok fine, I'll play nice with the swamp. But if it runs its mouth again, I'm gonna start a barbecue" she growled, before Naruto took off jumping while carrying Yue, with her close behind him, as she used her Firebending to help her leap from branch to branch.
They soon found Aang and the others, running through the swamp towards a lake.
"Hey guys" Naruto said, as he hopped down to them, with Will not far behind him.
"Where's Appa, Momo and Kurama?" Yue asked.
"Aang did some Avatar stuff, and is leading us to them," Sokka said.
"Yea. He said some people are chasing them" Katara said.
They then heard some screams of terror, and Naruto and Will recognized the roar that was heard.
"I think they found Kurama," Will said flatly.
"Well, let's go save these guys from Kurama," Naruto said, as they all continued to move.
^0o0o0o0^
(With Kurama)
Kurama was currently attacking what looked like some Waterbenders in tribal leaf outfits on some boats, with his tails easily destroying their boats.
"What kind of critter is this?!" one of the Waterbenders asked.
Some of the waterbenders bent the water, and sent a wave at Kurama, Appa and Momo, but Katara and Yue dropped down onto Appa, and stopped the attack.
"Your Waterbenders!" Katara said with surprise.
"You two? That makes us kin!" one of the swamp Waterbenders said with a smile.
Katara and Yue both smiled at this, glad to see more Waterbenders.
"I reckon there are different kinds of Waterbenders mmmhmmm" Will said, imitating the swamp people's accent.
Naruto snorted at this, but poked Will in the forehead. "Be nice," he said with a chuckle.
Will gave a small pout at this. "Fine then, ruin my fun" she said, as she crossed her arms, and turned her head away.
"Appa! Momo!" Aang yelled, as he ran to his bison while Momo flew to him.
"These are your critters?" one of the swamp Benders asked, with a look of bewilderment.
"Yup, they are our friends," Yue said, as she walked over to Kurama, and stroked him.
"Your friends with that varmint?" another swamp bender asked, while pointing at Kurama, who was growling at what looked like a gator.
"Well, Kurama doesn't like getting his fur wet," Naruto said, as he approached Kurama and let him climb onto his shoulder.
"He's quite special. He kept making his tails big, and keeping us away from the other two" one of the swamp Benders said.
"Good job protecting your fellow animals" Will said with a smile, as she pet Kurama on the head.
Appa groaned at Kurama, while Momo chattered at him, talking to him.
"Awwww, you have friends," Naruto said with a smile, while scratching him behind his ear.
"Well, as an apology to you and your furry friends, you can stay here and eat with us. Since I'm sure y'all are hungry, after getting lost in our swamp" one of the swamp Benders said with a smile.
"Free food? I say yes!" Sokka yelled happily.
"We gladly accept your invitation," Aang said with a nod.
Naruto and the others nodded at this, as they agreed that a good meal sounded good, after the day they had.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later that night)
Everyone was sitting around a campfire eating, and exchanging information.
"Wow, I had no idea you could manipulate plants with Waterbending," Naruto said with a smile. He looked at Katara, Yue and Aang with a grin. "Maybe you guys could do it too, with practice," he said.
"Hmmm, it makes me wonder if you could go even further with Waterbending" Will mused, as she ate some stew.
Naruto's eyes widened in realization at what Will just implied, before he frowned and shuddered.
"What are you thinking red?" Sokka asked curiously, as he knew Will had a tactical mind.
"Well, what if you could manipulate the water in living things?" Will asked.
Aang, Katara, Sokka and Yue's eyes widened at this.
Sokka even paled at this. "Don't even joke about that" he said to Will, shaking his head quickly.
"Yea, that sounds horrible," Aang said with a frown.
"If I ever find a Waterbender that does that…." Katara said with a frown of her own.
"Yes, this is something that I hope doesn't exist," Yue said, crossing her arms as she looked off to the side.
"Hey, I didn't say it should exist. I just said it's a possibility, that you should be aware of if we ever fight any evil Waterbenders" Will said with a shrug.
"Like Hahn?" Sokka asked, with colour returning to his face.
"That loser doesn't know how to bend….does he?" Naruto asked Yue with a raised eyebrow.
"I think he actually was, but he was too lazy to try and train with Master Pakku," Yue said.
"That, and he probably saw hand to hand as a better option, so he can show how manly he is" Will said with a scoff, folding her arms over her chest.
"Well, if we encounter that asshole again, be careful. He lost his home, and has nothing to lose now" Naruto said.
"Language," Katara said, as she gave him a small glare.
"Oh lighten up" Will said, rolling her eyes.
Katara sighed at this. "I hope whoever we recruit to be Aang's Earthbending teacher, is more mature than you," she said.
"Don't tempt fate," Naruto said with a chuckle, as he finished off his stew.
"Yea. From what I've heard, most Earthbenders are hard headed, and way worse than even Kurama" Sokka said with a smile.
Kurama blew a raspberry at Sokka, as he then ran over and took his piece of meat, and ran off.
"Hey! Get back here!" Sokka yelled, as he ran after Kurama, while waving his club over his head.
The others laughed at this, as they watched Kurama play keep away from Sokka.
^0o0o0o0^
(A few days later)
Naruto and the others were on their way to a big town, to buy supplies for themselves. They'd left Appa, Momo and Kurama in a forest so as to not draw attention to themselves.
"Pretty big town" Aang said, as they looked around.
"Yea, and it looks defenseless too," Naruto said, as he noted how they didn't have any real fighters here.
"Looks like they are throwing some kind of festival," Katara said, upon seeing everyone in the middle of the town.
"Let's take a look," Aang said with a smile, as he ran ahead.
"I'll get him, and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid" Naruto said, as he followed with Kurama close behind.
"Excuse me miss," a man in an expensive uniform said, as he approached Katara.
"Yes?" Katara asked, hoping they weren't in trouble.
"Are you and your friends from the Northern Water Tribe?" the man asked, pointing at her, Yue and Sokka.
"Who's asking?" Will asked.
"I am the mayor of this town, and we recently had to lock up a young man, who says he's from the Northern Tribe. And I wanted to give some of his fellow tribe members a chance to pay his fine, so he doesn't have to do his year in our jail" the man said.
Yue stepped forward at this. "I'm princess Yue of the Northern Tribe. So please take me to him, so I can see him and see if I can do anything" she said.
"Very good. You seem like a callable young leader" the mayor said, as he led them away.
"What did this guy do?" Sokka asked curiously
"He stole food from us, and fought back and hurt some of my men when we finally caught him," the mayor explained.
Yue frowned at this, having an idea who it was.
"Did he have a reason?" Will asked
"He said something about how us peasants of the Earth Kingdom should be honored to help someone from the nation that can actually fight the Fire Nation" the mayor said with a scowl.
"I'm sure we can get a real explanation from him," Yue said, trying to stay neutral.
"Watch it be some asshole" Will whispered to Sokka with a smirk.
"Suckers bet" Sokka whispered back with his own smirk.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
When they got to the jail cell, they saw it was Hahn in some raggy Water Tribe clothes.
"I'm out" Will said instantly, turning around to leave after seeing Hahn.
"Same here" Sokka said, ready to follow Will.
"You?!" Hahn yelled, grabbing the bars of his cell, when he saw Yue.
"I should have known it was you who caused problems for innocents" Yue said, giving him a look of disgust.
"What innocents? These morons think the Avatar is evil, for killing their fatass leader years ago" Hahn said with a scoff.
"Oh, for crying out loud" Will grumbled.
"Me and red will go help Naruto rein in Aang. You two deal with this idiot" Sokka said, as he and Will quickly left.
"Yea, keep running fire whore!" Hahn yelled after Will.
"You're not exactly helping your case," Katara said, crossing her arms while glaring at him.
"Like I care what some woman thinks," Hahn said, giving her a scowl.
"Hahn, we are here to see if we can help you. But obviously you haven't learned a thing" Yue said, shaking her head at him.
"Learned?! You let some outsider take you away from me, and get me thrown out of my home!" Hahn yelled in a rage, his hands gripping the bars so tight, that his hands turned white.
"You did that to yourself, by breaking the rules of an honor fight" Yue said, as she gave him a look of disgust.
"Just get me out of here!" Hahn yelled out.
"I only came here to help someone from my home….and I don't see anyone worth saving" Yue said with a cold tone.
Katara's eyes widened slightly at this, as this was cold for Yue.
"Don't you dare look down on me!" Hahn yelled, as he watched Yue and Katara leave.
Yue looked at the mayor as they left. "Feel free to lock him up as long as you want" she said. The mayor nodded at this, as he too left the building.
"You worthless bitch! I'll make you and everyone you care about pay! I swear it!" Hahn yelled with rage on his scared face, as he shook the bars.
Yue and Katara said nothing as they left, while Hahn screamed some more in a blind rage.
^0o0o0o0^
(Outside)
"I'm surprised you are so cold like that" Katara said to her fellow Waterbender, as they looked for the others.
Yue looked at Katara with a raised eyebrow. "As future leader of the Northern Water Tribe, I'll have to make choices like this" she said.
Katara nodded her head slightly at this, as that made sense.
"Hey, how did it go with king asshole?" Will asked, as she dragged Aang over to them.
"Why do you have him gagged?" Katara asked with a raised eyebrow, seeing that Naruto and Sokka were close behind.
"He was being annoying," Will replied.
"There has to be more to it then that" Katara said, as she crossed her arms.
"I'll explain once we are out of here" Naruto said, as he led them out of the town.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
"Ok, I want an explanation now," Katara said, as she untied Aang.
"Oh relax, your boyfriend is fine" Will said, as they all got on Appa, where Kurama and Momo were fast asleep.
Both Aang and Katara blushed bright red at this.
"T-thats not the point!" Katara stuttered out, with Aang nodding his head quickly in agreement.
"He was gonna bring trouble to us by opening his mouth," Naruto said.
"They were burning statues of me and past Avatar's" Aang said, as he made Appa take off.
"Yea, yea. Look, it's a whole town vs us 5, and you only have Airbending mastered, so I don't like our chances, if you would have made them mad at us" Naruto said.
"Plus, news flash Aang, we need to focus on ending this war, not some petty grudge a town has against Kyoshi" Will said.
Aang pouted at this, but nodded as he knew Naruto and Will were right.
"A grudge against Kyoshi?" Yue asked curiously.
"Oh yeah. Get this, apparently she killed their old leader back in her era" Naruto said.
"I still say she's innocent!" Aang said with a frown.
"How do you know? Did you ask her?" Will asked with a cocked eyebrow.
This silenced everyone, who looked at Aang.
"I….didn't think of that" Aang said with a sheepish look, as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well here, I'll lead Appa and you can meditate to get the truth from her," Naruto said.
Aang nodded at this, and switched seats with Naruto before he took a meditation stance.
After a few moments, Aang came out of his trance with a look of surprise.
"She did it, didn't she?" Will asked with a smug smile.
Katara lightly slapped Will on the shoulder.
"Yes, she did it. Apparently, their leader was taking over the Earth Kingdom, and when he showed up at her home, she used her power to make her home into Kyoshi Island. And in the process, their leader died because he wouldn't get out of the way" Aang said.
"Wow, your past life was hard-core," Will said with a smile, as she liked Kyoshi's style.
"It's not your fault Aang. That was Kyoshi's choice, not yours" Naruto said, looking at Aang over his shoulder.
"Yea, you didn't do anything so relax" Sokka said, placing his hand on his shoulder.
"But since Kyoshi is my past life, it kinda does" Aang said with a downcast look.
"Yea, but you have had a lot of past lives. Do you feel you should pay for all the mistakes of your past lives?" Yue said to him.
"…..No," Aang said.
Yue nodded at this, as she gave him a small grin.
"Well said Yue" Naruto said with a smile.
"Aang, all Avatar's were human. And guess what, humans make mistakes or do things that future Avatar's won't agree with" Will said.
"Yea, give yourself time. I bet you will do things the next Avatar won't like" Sokka said with a smile, as he put his arm around Aang's shoulders.
Naruto and Will laughed at this. "Yea, watch the next one be a hot head and loves to fight" Will said, pretty much describing Aang's opposite.
"Ha, a sucker's bet," Naruto said with a large grin.
Aang pouted at this, as everyone laughed.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later that night)
Hahn was in his cell, eating the meager food and water he was given, when he heard some yelling outside in the town.
He saw the guards outside his cell about to attack whoever was about to attack, when he held out his hands and the two guards froze in place.
This made the Fire Nation men that entered stop, and watch as the two guards' chests exploded.
"Heh, guess those rumors of a hidden power during the full moon weren't just scary stories" Hahn said, with a twisted grin.
"Hmmm, impressive for a Waterbender. Tell me, who are you loyal to?" Zhao asked, as he entered the room.
Hahn scowled at this. "I was banished from my home, so I'm loyal to whoever can pay the best," Hahn said.
"Excellent. I could use you as a new member of my rough rhinos" Zhao said, as he found the keys to unlock the cell.
"I'm listening," Hahn said with a smile.
^0o0o0o0^
(A few days later, with Naruto and the group)
Naruto and the group were all in the Earth Kingdom city of Gaoling, seeing if they could find an Earthbending teacher for Aang.
Currently, they were shopping at the market.
Naruto saw Yue and Will looking at some jewelry, and smiled seeing Yue pick out a hair clip, and Will picking out a ring.
"You girls want those?" he asked, as he approached them, and took out his coin pouch.
Will smiled and nodded at Naruto as he paid the vendor.
"This is too much," Yue said.
"Relax, and let me spoil you" Naruto said with a smile, as he helped Yue put the hair clip on, before kissing her on the cheek.
"Ugh, I'm gonna puke" Sokka said, while Kurama pointed at his open mouth with his tail and made a gagging sound.
"Wait until Suki hears that you won't be buying her anything nice" Katara said with a grin.
"Yea, and I was gonna give you tips on making her happy" Naruto said, as he helped Will put her ring on, and gave her a kiss on the cheek too.
"Nevermind. Teach me, oh great sifu!" Sokka yelled, as he got on the ground and started bowing to Naruto.
Will looked at Kurama, who was still making gagging noises. "I'm soooo gonna make fun of you, if you ever meet a vixen," she said with a grin.
"Hey guys, look what I found!" Aang yelled, as he ran over with a flyer.
"Earth Bending academy?" Naruto asked, rubbing his chin.
"No way. You need a teacher that can teach you on the road" Will said.
"Well, it can't hurt to look at least," Katara said with a shrug.
"Oh fine. It's better than nothing" Will said.
They all headed for where this Earth Bending academy was.
^0o0o0o0^
(An hour later)
"Ok, this guy is definitely a hard no," Naruto said, as they all watched Aang get sent flying by a fellow student.
"Yea, this guy is only in it for the money" Will said with a nod of agreement.
"Yea, we need someone that actually has a connection with their element" Katara said, as she knew the best masters had a strong connection, and understanding of their element.
Aang groaned as he approached them, after telling the teacher no thanks.
"Told you this was a waste of time" Will said, shaking her head.
Before anyone could respond, they heard two teen boys talking.
"I tell you, the Boulder is gonna win Earth Rumble 6 this year!" one of them said with a large grin.
"No way. The Blind Bandit hasn't lost a match in years" the other one said.
"Yea, especially that guy who called her a fat ass" the first boy said, as they both laughed.
"Hey, what's this Earth Rumble 6?" Aang asked curiously.
"None of your business loser" one of the teens said, as he and his friend left.
Aang frowned at this.
"Leave it to me" Katara said as she smiled at Aang, and went after the two teens.
"Oh, I gotta see this," Will said with a smirk, as she quickly followed her.
A few moments later, she returned with Will following, while laughing her head off.
"Oh man, I didn't think you had that in you!" Will said, as she laughed.
"What'd she do?" Sokka asked curiously.
"Get this; she flirted with them, before freezing them to the wall" Will said with a large grin.
Sokka snorted at this. "Yeah right, Katara doesn't know how to flirt," he said.
"Yes I do!" Katara said with a glare, as she placed her fists on her hips.
"How?" Sokka asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I….got tips from Will" Katara said with a small blush, as she looked away.
"Great, you're being corrupted by the pervert of our group" Sokka said with a face palm.
"And I'm happy to corrupt her," Will said with a smile, as she pulled Katara into a one arm hug.
"A-anyway, I have the location for Earth Rumble 6," Katara said, getting her blush under control.
"What is it exactly?" Yue asked in interest.
"It's a tournament for Earth Benders," Katara said.
"Well, it's a better option than this school," Naruto said with a nod.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
"Wow, this place is packed" Will said, seeing the stands and a big arena.
"Yea, this should be a good watch" Sokka said, as they all took their seats.
"Sokka, we are here to find Aang a teacher," Katara said, giving her brother the stink eye.
"Well, Bumi said I should find a teacher that waits and listens. Since according to him, that's the key to Earthbending" Aang said with a slight shrug, as Momo sat on his head.
"Sounds about right. Earth is the most stubborn element. from what I see" Naruto said, as he sat down next to Yue and Will, with Kurama on his shoulder.
They all watched the matches, but sadly every Earthbender, while impressive, didn't seem to call out to Aang.
"Ok folks, the final match! The Boulder vs the reigning champ: The Blind Bandit!" the announcer yelled out, to the roaring cheers of the audience.
They saw what looked like a teen girl their own age. She seemed to be a head shorter than Naruto.
"She's not really blind, is she?" Katara asked.
"Yeah, it's just part of her character, right?" Yue said.
Naruto looked at this girl, and saw even from his seat, that her eyes were clouded over. "Holy crap, she actually is," he said in surprise.
"I think she's going down!" Sokka yelled excitedly.
Katara sighed at this, as she face palmed. "My brother, everybody," she said in a tired tone, while waving her hand at Sokka.
"The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a blind teen girl" the Boulder said with a small frown..
The Blind Bandit smirked at this. "Oh really? Maybe you're afraid of losing to a teen girl, the pebble!" she yelled, before laughing.
"Oh, I like her," Will said with a grin.
The match soon started, and the Boulder got ready to stomp his foot. But at the same time, the Blind Bandit stomped her own foot, and made the earth under the Boulder's stomping foot move as his foot connected, making the Boulder fall into a split and scream in pain, like a little girl.
"Ouch" Naruto said with a wince.
"Oh, I definitely like her now," Will said, before she started to laugh.
The Blind Bandit then made a moment with her arms, and three earth pillars appeared behind the Boulder, and sent him flying out of the ring.
The Blind Bandit smirked in victory, as she held up her fist. "Your winner, and still champion: The Blind Bandit!" the announcer yelled out, with the audience cheering.
"How did she pull that off?!" Sokka yelled in shock.
Aang smiled at this. "She waited, and listened," he said, as he looked at Naruto.
Naruto smiled at him, and nodded in approval.
"Ok, for a final match, I'm gonna offer 500 gold pieces to anyone who can defeat the Blind Bandit!" the announcer yelled, while holding up a green sack.
Aang was about to raise his hand, but Will grabbed his arm and shook her head at him.
"Why not?" he asked her.
"Cause you'll try to talk to her, not fight. This is a girl that prefers actions, not talking" Will said.
"I'll do it!" Naruto yelled getting up.
"We have a challenger!" the announcer yelled, as Naruto walked down to the arena.
"Huh, you actually carry yourself, like you know what you're doing. Unlike these other wimps" the Blind Bandit said, as she cracked her knuckles .
"Huh, a fight with a girl that is both observant and pretty. My lucky day" Naruto said, as he took a stance.
"Ohhhhh" the audience said, surprised Naruto would be so bold, as to flirt with his opponent.
"Are you trying to get a date from me or something?" the Blind Bandit asked him.
"I like the sound of that, so how about this: I beat you, we go out on a date?" Naruto asked
The Blind Bandit blushed slightly at this. "And if I win?" she asked.
"You don't look like a chump for losing, because I flirted with you," Naruto said with a smirk, trying to bait her to make the first move.
"You think you can beat me, by getting in my head? The Blind Bandit asked with a scowl.
"Are you saying you're scared?" Naruto asked with a cheeky grin.
"Grrrr, fine!" The Blind Bandit yelled, as she took a stance.
"Begin!" the announcer yelled, holding his arm up, once he knew the banter/flirting was over.
The Blind Bandit waited for Naruto to make the first move, but all Naruto did was stand there and watch her.
"Are you going to attack or not?" she asked him with a tone of annoyance.
"Why, when I can look at your beautiful face?" Naruto said with a smile.
"Jeez, does he flirt with anyone with a rack?" Sokka asked with a sigh.
"Only if he finds them interesting" Will said with a grin.
"Ok, that's it!" the Blind Bandit yelled out, as she stomped her foot and got ready to send a boulder at Naruto. And as she threw it, Naruto ran at her, and as he ran he used Airbending, to make it so he was slightly off the ground.
As he ran, he easily dodged the boulder, sent his way, and approached the Blind Bandit.
"Where is h -" she said, before Naruto grabbed her by her arm, and in a quick moment, judo flipped her and threw her out of the ring.
"T-the winner is the challenger!" the announcer yelled, as the crowd roared in approval.
Naruto jumped down from the arena, and saw the Blind Bandit getting up with an angry look on her face.
"So, about that date," Naruto said with a friendly smile, as he approached her.
"Forget it!" the Blind Bandit yelled, as she looked away from Naruto with her arms crossed.
"Now now, you made a bet. Plus, it's not like I wanna get into your pants or anything" Naruto said.
"Grrr, fine! Let's go!" The Blind Bandit yelled, as she made a doorway with Earthbending.
"Impressive. That usually takes more effort from what I have heard" Naruto said, as he followed the Blind Bandit.
"Whatever, let's just get this over with," she said with a huff.
"Lead the way, miss?" Naruto said, hoping to get her name.
"Call me Toph," she said.
"You're named after a lotus?" Naruto asked with a chuckle.
"S-shut up! What's your name anyway?" she asked, as they walked off.
"Naruto Uzumaki, at your service" he said with a bow.
"Like the ramen topping? Ha!" Toph said with a laugh.
Naruto face faulted at this, before giving Toph a deadpan stare. "It also translates to maelstrom," he said in a low tone.
"Whatever you say, ramen boy" Toph said.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later on in town)
"So, what exactly do you do on a date?" Toph asked as they walked around.
"Well, usually you do something together that you both enjoy. Do you have any hobbies?" Naruto asked her.
"Train in the mountains," Toph said simply.
"That's it?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow, when he realised that she wasn't going to say anything else.
"Don't exactly have a lot of freedom back home" Toph said with a scowl.
"Well, tell me about yourself then" Naruto said, as they sat down on a low wall.
"Not much to tell. No siblings, no friends and I go to Earth Bending matches to kill my boredom" Toph said with an indifferent look.
Naruto frowned at this, as he could sense that despite her tone, it did bother her that she had no friends. "Well, I can be your friend if you want," he said with a smile.
Toph raised her eyebrow at this. "Really?" she asked him.
"Really" Naruto replied with a nod.
"Even if I was filthy rich?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You could be dirt poor, and I'd still want to be your friend," he replied with a grin.
Toph's eyes widened at this. "Huh, you're telling the truth," she said.
Naruto smiled at this. "Ah, so my theory about your abilities are right," he said.
"What's your theory?" Toph asked him.
"That you can see through the earth and vibrations, which is what you used to also see if I'm lying," Naruto said.
Toph smirked at this. "Not bad, you have a brain in you huh?" she asked.
"Yup," Naruto said with a grin.
"So….how did you stay off the ground, long enough to surprise me?" Toph asked curiously.
"Oh, that was easy. I used Airbending to float off the ground a bit to get close" he said with a shrug.
Toph looked at Naruto flatly at this. "So, you're not an Earthbender?" she asked him.
"Nope - ow!" Naruto yelled out, as Toph slugged him in the shoulder.
"You cheated, and ruined my winning streak!" Toph yelled, as she slugged him again in the shoulder.
"Hey, hey! Knock it off! I just wanted to talk to you" Naruto said, as he stood up to avoid her punches.
"Give me my belt back!" Toph yelled, stomping her foot and making the earth shake.
"That's what you want? OK ok, here. It looks better on you anyway" Naruto said, as he held it out towards her.
"I'll take your word on that" Toph said, as she took the belt back from him. "So, why did you wanna talk to me, if it wasn't for a date?" she asked.
"Well, the date was just a bonus bit. I actually wanted to ask you, if you could train a friend of mine in Earthbending" Naruto said, as they sat back down.
"Depends who it is," Toph said.
"It's my friend who is the Avatar, and he -" Naruto was saying, before Toph interrupted him.
"Sold!" Toph yelled with a grin.
"Really? Just like that?" Naruto asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"Well, this will involve traveling the world right?" Toph asked with a smile.
"Yea" Naruto said with a nod.
"Then I will definitely take this chance to ditch home, and finally have some freedom!" Toph said, standing up with her hands in the air.
Naruto chuckled at this. "OK, let me introduce you to my friends," he said, as he too stood up.
"As fun as that is, we can do that later. I have to get home, but we can meet up later tonight" Toph said.
"Sure, I can do that. We can meet up on the mountain" Naruto said.
"Where the big animal is?" Toph asked.
"Woah, you can feel that far away?" Naruto asked, surprised at how far her range is.
"Well, it takes some focus, but yea" Toph said with a shrug.
"Jeez, you are more amazing than I thought," Naruto said with a grin.
Toph smiled at this. "Sweet talk won't get you anywhere with me" she said, as she playfully hit him again in the shoulder, as she walked away.
"Yea, yea. Meet you tonight, moon eyes" Naruto said, as he rubbed his shoulder slightly, while waking off.
Toph paused at this, and blushed slightly but growled and stomped her foot, making the earth under Naruto shift, making him trip before she left.
"Jeez, that girl," Naruto grumbled from the ground.
"Oh, I definitely like her now," Will said with a smirk from a rooftop, getting Naruto's attention.
"How long have you been there?" he asked her.
"Since you told her your her friend, you sweetheart" Yue said, walking into view from an alleyway while giggling behind her hand.
"Oh, great. Will corrupted you into spying on me" Naruto said, as Yue helped him up and Will jumped down to them.
"Oh, she's still the sweet princess you love," Will said, as she pinched Yue's cheek.
"We should get back to the others, and tell them she's joining us," Naruto said, as he shook his head at Will's antics.
Will nodded at this, as they all left town.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later that night)
Naruto and the others were getting Appa ready to go, when Naruto saw Toph running over, with a backpack.
"Wow, the sun has barely set and you're here" Naruto said with a smile, as he greeted Toph.
"Less talk, more leaving. I had to bury the guards to get time to leave" Toph said, as she climbed onto Appa, but slipped and Naruto caught her in a bridal carry.
"Hey! Watch your hands!" Toph yelled, feeling Naruto's hands on her ass.
"Sorry, here" Naruto said, as he uses Airbending to jump onto Appa, and put her down next to Will. "Better?" he asked.
"No. I hate that I can't see a thing in the air" Toph said with a huff.
"Don't worry. We won't let you fall" Yue said, sitting next to Toph.
"Best to get moving, if she made a ruckus leaving" Naruto said to Aang.
Aang nodded, and took Appa's reins. "Yip yip!" he said, flicking the reins a little.
Appa groaned, and took off.
"So, I guess introductions are in order. I'm Katara" she said with a smile, greeting Toph.
"I'm Yue" she said, placing her hand on Toph's shoulder.
"Names Sokka" he said in greeting.
"Call me Will," she said with a grin.
"Isn't that a guy's name?" Toph asked curiously.
"Pfft!" Sokka snorted, while Naruto shook from trying not to laugh.
WIll gave a pout at this. "Yea, but I prefer it to my actual name," she said.
"It's a nickname huh? Hmmmmm, what's her real name?" Sokka asked Naruto.
"Don't you dare" Will said warningly.
"Wilma - ow!" Naruto groaned out, from Will throwing a fireball at him, which singed his shoulder slightly.
"Next one won't miss!" Will yelled with a glare.
"Wow, you're fiery. I like you" Toph said with a smile.
"Well, she's got red hair. So fiery fits her" Naruto said with a grin.
"Red hair? I may not know colors, but that's not common is it?" Toph asked.
"Neither is blonde hair," Sokka said, gesturing to Naruto.
"What's blonde?" Toph asked.
"Think yellow if you have heard of that color" Yue said, not knowing how else to put it.
"Ah. So, what are all your skills?" Toph asked.
"Waterbenders," Katara said, gesturing to herself and Yue.
"Firebender," Will said.
"Airbender and Avatar," Aang said.
"Warrior" Sokka said.
"He's also good with plans and strategy," Naruto added.
"Huh, so you're my student...you sound like a wuss" Toph said, making Aang pout.
"Well, he was born an Airbender. So earth will be the hardest to learn" Naruto said with a shrug.
"No problem, I like a challenge. He will be a master within a year, or he will die first!" Toph yelled, as she punched her palm, a confident grin on her face.
Kurama was sniffing at Toph along with Momo, both curious about the new member of the team.
"You guys have pets?" Toph asked.
"Yup. The one sniffing you is Kurama the fox, and the one pawing at your hair is Momo" Aang said.
"No problem. I like animals" Toph said with a smile, as she pet Kurama and Momo.
"Really?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yup. My first friends were Badgermoles, who taught me everything about Earthbending" she said with a proud look.
"Woah, you learned from the original Earthbenders?" Aang asked, as he knew some things about the other elements, thanks to lessons from the Air Monks.
"Well, moles are blind. So I'm not surprised they were great teachers for you" Will said.
"Well, at least now we have one of each element on the team, if you don't count Aang's Avatar status" Katara said with a smile.
"Yea, but is Will really qualified to teach?" Sokka asked curiously.
"Hey! I made that blue fire thrower back off!" Will said.
"Yea, by hitting on her," Naruto said with a chuckle.
Toph laughed at this. "You hit on the enemy?" she asked, while giggling.
"Oh, sure. Me and Maruto keep things interesting round here" Will said, as she hugged Naruto's arm affectionately.
"Huh? You're ok with him getting fresh with me?" Toph asked.
"Hey! I groped you by accident" Naruto yelled.
"Sure you were blonde," Toph said.
"And to answer your question, Naruto and Will are…..complicated" Katara said, not knowing how to bring this up.
Toph tilted her head, slightly curious at this.
"He's dating her and Yue" Sokka said bluntly.
"Yup. We gotta be ready to repopulate the Airbenders, right babe?" Will asked with a teasing smirk.
Toph smirked at this. "Ooooo, you're a harem guy huh? Luring innocent girls into being your playthings?" she asked, looking at Naruto.
"Hey! I have standards!" Naruto yelled out.
"Yea, he has to actually like them as people," Yue said.
"And I have to approve them," Will added.
"And do I meet your standards, Red?" Toph asked with a smirk.
"Oh, definitely. You seem like a lot of fun" Will said with her own smirk.
"Oh God, these two are gonna give me a headache" Naruto groaned, seeing Will and Toph hit it off instantly.
"Yea, you're screwed buddy" Sokka said with a laugh, patting him on the shoulder.
"Hey, let's not get hasty" Toph said, still having a smirk as she groped her breasts.
Will laughed at this, while Yue just shook her head at this.
"Oh, knock it off. You're making Aang nervous" Katara said with a scowl.
"Oh, don't be a prude sugar queen," Toph said.
"Sugar queen?" Katara asked.
"I like nicknames," Toph said, as she pointed at each of them. "So expect nicknames after a bit."
Will smirked at this, and whispered into Toph's ear.
"Whiskers?" she asked Will.
"Oh great," Naruto said, as he leaned back to look up at the star filled sky.
"Yup, he has whisker marks," Sokka said with a nod.
"Ok, whiskers and blonde it is," Toph said with a grin.
"I would have gone with ramen boy," Aang said with a smile.
"She already did," Naruto said with a sigh.
"Ah, she thought your name meant that ramen topping huh?" Will asked with a grin.
"Wait….it does?" Sokka asked with a smirk.
"It means maelstrom!" Naruto yelled out.
"Yea, sure it does ramen boy" Toph said, as everyone laughed at Naruto.
"I think we may need another tent," Yue said, realizing that Toph didn't have a tent.
"Oh, I have been working on something to fix that," Naruto said with a grin.
"Like what exactly?" Katara asked curiously.
"I have been working on something with seals, to make things easier," Naruto said.
"Wait… I've wondered why you have been drawing on the big tent" Sokka said.
Will's eyes widened at this, and she smiled brightly. "You made a magic tent, didn't you?" she asked with a grin.
"You know magic?" Toph asked with a raised eyebrow in interest.
"It's seals, not magic," Naruto said.
"Oh yea, you may need to explain that stuff to Toph," Katara said.
Naruto nodded at this, as he started to explain his extra abilities to Toph.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
Appa had finally landed for the night, and everyone was getting off and unpacking.
"Huh, so you have extra abilities besides blowing air," Toph said, as she jumped down.
"Yup" Naruto said, as he threw a bag to Sokka.
"Toph, we could use some help," Katara said.
"Really? You need my help, unpacking Sokka's smelly sleeping bag?" Toph asked.
"Well, if you're too weak to help with unpacking and setting up camp" Will said with a teasing grin.
"Are you calling me weak?! Ok sugar queen, pass me a bag!" Toph yelled.
Naruto chuckled at this. "I saw what you did," he said to Will.
"Well, as the head of your girls, I have to have the ability to keep them in line" Will said with a shrug, as she gave him a grin.
"When did Toph join?" Yue asked.
"Details princess. I give her a few weeks" Will said, waving her hand in the air.
"Ok, enough consulting with your harem, and let's see this great tent you've made," Sokka said.
Naruto rolled his eyes at this, and jumped from Appa. Once he landed on the ground, he pulled out a tent from his bag, and a few moments later he had it set up.
"Doesn't look that different," Aang said with a tilt of his head.
"Hold on," Naruto said, as he touched a seal on the tent, and it glowed for a moment, making Toph pause in surprise.
"Woah" she said in surprise.
"What?" Katara asked curiously.
"The tent is waaaaay bigger on the inside now," Toph said with wide eyes.
Naruto smiled at this. "Way to spoil the surprise, moon eyes" he said.
Toph scowled, and looked away from Naruto at this.
"Pfft, moon eyes?" Will asked, barely holding back a laugh.
"I think it's cute he has a nickname for her," Yue said with a smile.
"Ok, who wants to see our house?" Naruto asked, as he opened the tent up for everyone to enter.
Momo flew to Aang, while Kurama ran to Toph's shoulder, as she entered the tent.
"Awww, he likes you already," Yue said with a smile.
Appa groaned at this, not liking being left alone.
"It's ok buddy. I'll be back soon" Aang said, as he entered the tent along with the others.
"Woah!" Sokka and Aang yelled in surprise, looking around at the big living room that also had a makeshift fire pit in the middle of the room.
"Seals can actually do this?" Katara asked, surprised at what she was seeing.
"Yup, though ones like this are complicated, and take a lot of time," Naruto said.
"Are there other rooms in the back?" Toph asked, looking towards the back, where there was a hallway.
Naruto nodded at this. "Rooms for everyone. I also added a hot spring too" he said.
"Hot spring? I'm in!" Will said, running off to take a soak.
"That sounds great," Yue said with a smile.
Katara nodded and followed after them.
Toph sighed and followed the others.
"Well, we may as well go too. There is a male and female side, so we can soak too" Naruto said.
"Sounds good to me," Aang said with a smile.
Kurama growled at this, but followed them.
"Not a fan of water?" Sokka asked Kurama.
"Nope," Naruto said with a shake of his head.
^0o0o0o0^
(With Will)
"Wow, Naruto went all out!" Will said with a smile, as she, Yue and Katara entered the woman's side of the hot spring, all wearing towels.
"Indeed. I can tell he worked hard on this" Yue said with smile.
"Where is Toph?" Katara asked, looking around for her.
Will looked back to the changing room. "Hey Toph! Where are you?" she yelled out.
"I'm here, damn it!" Toph's voice yelled back.
"What's up? Are you shy?" Will asked.
Toph finally came out with a scowl on her face, as her towel barely covered her E cup breasts.
"Woah," Katara said in surprise.
Yue's mouth was opened in surprise.
"Hello!" Will said with a smirk.
"I tie down my rack alright!" Toph yelled out.
"You tie down your thick ass too?" Will asked with a giggle.
Toph growled at this.
"I'm gonna guess you don't like how…..developed you are?" Katara asked, as she sat on the edge of the pool.
"I don't care, heck I'm just glad to let myself breathe for once" Toph said, as she sat on a bench.
"Ah, your parents were prudes?" Will asked.
Toph snorted at this. "Yea. Once I hit puberty, they made me start tying down my rack, so I 'don't look like a floozy' according to them" she said, making air quotes.
"Well, you can still tie them down, but not as tight now that you're with us," Yue said with a kind smile.
"May give Naruto a heart attack though," Will said with a giggle.
Toph laughed at this. "Like he wasn't checking me out before" she said, as she got into the water.
"Oh, he was huh?" Will asked, as she too climbed into the water.
"Well, he was trying to be subtle, but I caught everything," Toph said with a slight shrug.
"Can we not talk about you joining Naruto's harem?" Katara asked with a blush.
"Ok….let's talk about you and Aang then" Will said with a smirk.
"Oh? There's something going on with them?" Toph asked with a grin.
"N-no!" Katara stuttered out, as she got into the water.
"I can tell you're lying~" Toph sang with a bright smile.
"You can tell if someone is lying?" Yue asked, surprised at this.
"Yup, and I can tell the sugar queen has it bad for twinkle toes," Toph said with a wide grin.
"Ha! I knew it" Will said with a laugh.
Katara blushed brightly at this, as the other girls laughed.
"Let's change the subject. Yue said, taking pity on Katara.
"Ok…..so, which of you have pegged Naruto?" Toph asked Will and Yue.
Will snorted at this.
Yue and Katara looked at Will and Toph in confusion.
"She means sex" Will said with a large smile.
Yue now had a bright blush on her face.
"W-where did you learn such language?" Katara asked Toph, looking at her with a blush.
"I snuck into town a lot when I was bored. You tend to pick up a few things" Toph said.
"Well, to answer your question, it's only me so far" Will said with a fond smile.
Yue blushed even more at this information.
"I'm gonna guess the princess is too shy to make a move?" Toph asked.
"Well, that and Naruto tries to be a gentleman," Will said.
"Pfft. Bet I could break him" Toph said with a grin.
"You know how to tease boys?" Will asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"Well…...no" Toph admitted after a few seconds.
"Well, I suppose I could teach you a few things," Will said with a smirk, at the idea of Toph teasing Naruto.
"Great, you now have your own student," Katara said, face palming.
"C-can I get some tips too?" Yue asked, holding up her hand nervously.
"I take it back, you have two students," Katara said, shaking her head slightly..
"Hey, I could teach you how to make a move on Aang too," Will said with a grin.
"Pfft, and make twinkle toes go into a coma?" Toph asked, as she could tell Aang was way too innocent.
"Ok, I'm clean now," Katara said, as she got up.
"Later sugar queen!" Toph yelled, as Katara walked off.
"Good, the prude is gone. Now to see something" Will said, as she looked at Toph.
"What are you - hey!" Toph yelled, as Will was behind her, groping her breasts, making her moan a little.
"Wow, firm and soft….Naruto will definitely enjoy you~" Will whispered into Toph's ear with a smirk, before giving it a lick.
"Y-y-you…." Toph stuttered out in surprise.
"Yea, Will is bi. So be careful" Yue said with a smile.
"So are you princess, or did you not enjoy that one night in the baths in the north pole?" Will asked with a grin.
Yue laughed nervously at being called out.
"So….you want in on this harem?" Will asked Toph, as she groped her some more.
"Ah! M-maybe?" Toph said, trying to resist Will.
"Oh don't worry….Naruto can have first crack at you, then you're all mine" Will whispered into Toph's ear, before kissing it lightly.
"Mmmmm!~" Toph moaned out, as she bit her lip.
^0o0o0o0^
(That night)
Everyone was sleeping in their own rooms asleep, when an alarm went off.
"Who's attacking?!" Sokka yelled as he ran out of his room, while only wearing his underwear.
"Someone is 100 feet away from the tent. Everyone out!" Naruto yelled.
Everyone nodded at this, and headed for the exit.
When they got outside, they saw some smoke nearby.
"Looks like we do have company" Will said.
"Whatever it is, it's big," Toph said, placing her hand on the ground.
"Ok, everyone on Appa!" Naruto yelled, as he packed up the tent and jumped on Appa.
"Yip yip!" Aang yelled out, cracking the reins.
Appa groaned and took off.
"Any ideas who it is?" Yue asked Naruto, as they all looked back at the smoke.
Naruto closed his eyes, and used his sage senses, to see if he recognized the aura of whoever was following them.
Naruto opened his eyes after a few moments. "Oh, for fucks sake" he said with a sigh.
"Language," Katara said, giving him a glare.
"Priorities sugar queen" Toph said.
"Someone you know?" Will asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It's Azula, Ty Lee and Mai," Naruto said.
"Oh? Who are they? Some exes of yours?" Toph asked with a grin.
"He wishes," Will said with her own grin.
"Oh, they must be hot. I can feel Red's excitement from here" Toph said.
"Focus, you horndog!" Sokka yelled, as he put on his clothes.
"Yeah, those three are a problem," Naruto said.
"Yes. We have the crazy blue fire bending, knife throwing and that one girl in pink did something to take my bending away when we fought" Katara said with a frown
"So, not only flexible, but is a fighter too," Will said, referring to Ty Lee.
Katara, Sokka and Aang groaned at this.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
Appa finally landed on a mountain top, and everyone got off him to rest.
"Ok, no tent. We need some sleep" Sokka groaned, as he laid down after climbing into his sleeping bag.
Everyone nodded, as they all tried to get some sleep.
Kurama's ears then twitched, and he started to growl.
Momo then started chattering, and pointing into the woods.
Naruto and the others looked where Momo was pointing, and saw the same smoke heading towards them.
"Oh, don't tell me" Sokka groaned from his sleeping bag.
"There's no way. We flew for hours, so it can't be them" Katara said with worry.
"It's the same thing that was following us," Toph said, after placing her hand on the ground.
"Jeez, they have it bad for you" Will said to Naruto.
"Hey, they want Aang. So don't blame me" Naruto said.
"Yea, let's see who they attack first" Sokka groaned, as he got up.
"Well, it's 6 vs 3. So I bet we could take them" Toph said, punching her fist into her palm.
"Hey, I'm here" Sokka said, holding his hand up.
"Oh, sorry I forgot. Do you know any bending?" Toph said.
"I can still fight!" Sokka yelled with a frown.
"Ok, so 6 vs 3, plus Sokka" Toph said with a grin.
"Grrrrrrr" Sokka growled out.
"Ok, let's vote: fight or flee" Naruto said, as what looked like a massive tank approached them.
Will, Toph and Sokka raised their hands. "Fight," they said together.
Yue, Katara and Aang shook their heads.
"Well, I vote…." Naruto was saying, before the tank stopped not far from them.
The tank then opened, and Azula, Ty Lee and Mai came out, while riding some giant lizards.
Azula glared at Naruto, as their eyes met.
"Flee!" Naruto yelled out, as he jumped onto Appa.
"Oh, you wuss!" Will yelled, as she and the others followed him to Appa.
Toph stomped on the ground, and made a massive earth wall, to slow down the enemy.
"Let's go!" Sokka yelled at Toph, as the rest of them were on Appa, ready to go.
Toph stomped on the earth, making it send her into the air, where she landed on Appa as he took off.
Azula stood on her mongoose lizard, and shot a blast of blue fire at them as they left, but Appa dodged it. She scowled at this, before getting back on the tank, with Mai and Ty Lee following her.
"Ok, I blame you for this," Sokka groaned at Naruto.
"Yea, what was that?" Will asked, giving Naruto a glare.
"When I looked in her eyes, I saw full on crazy and I flinched ok?" Naruto said.
"Wuss" Toph said, leaning against Appa's saddle, with her hands behind her head.
Yue frowned, and held Naruto's hand.
"I'll be fine," Naruto said to her reassuringly.
"There had to be more. You don't seem to like to flee, for a stupid reason" Aang said.
"Who said it was stupid?" Naruto asked.
"It's stupid" Will, Sokka and Toph said together, giving Naruto a deadpan.
"Ok, ok. Look, I also didn't feel fighting on a mountain top was smart. Way too confined, and no water for Katara and Yue to use" Naruto said with a shrug.
"Ok, now that I buy. Good job" Sokka said with a nod.
"Yea, it's not smart to fight in a place, where 2 of us have no way to fight" Will said with a nod.
"We need a plan then" Yue said, rubbing her chin in thought.
"We need to figure out how they keep tracking us," Sokka said.
"Oh, that's obvious" Toph said, as she reached over the saddle, and pulled off some of Appa's fur.
"Appa's shedding?" Yue said in surprise.
"Huh, now it makes sense," Will said with a nod.
"Ok, we need to find a lake, to get Appa clean" Naruto said to Aang.
Aang nodded at this, and cracked the reins.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
"Oh great. We have been up all night" Sokka groaned out, as they flew towards a lake.
"Relax ponytail. Once we get Appa clean, we can make a plan to take care of whiskers stalker" Toph said.
"Ha!" Will said, as she started to laugh.
Toph smirked, and gave Will a high five.
"You two have been friends for only a few days, and I already have a headache" Naruto groaned, rubbing his head, as they landed next to the lake.
"Ok, let's get to work cleaning Appa" Aang said, as he jumped off Appa.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and got to work.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
Everyone had just finished cleaning Appa, who was now shaking the water off.
"Jeez, you shed anymore, and you're gonna have a bald spot" Will said, as she pet Appa and smiled as he groaned at her.
"Ok, here's the plan: me and Aang are gonna take these bags of Appa's fur and make a trail, while you guys go a different way on Appa" Naruto said.
"Why just you two?" Toph asked with a frown, as she pet Kurama.
"Yea, you guys being alone against those three is reckless" Yue said with her own frown.
"Especially since you're tired," Katara added.
"Relax, I'm barely winded. So I can watch Aang's back" Naruto said with a smile, as he gave a thumbs up.
"So, he has stamina huh?" Toph asked with a pervy grin.
"Like you have no idea" Will said with her own pervy grin.
Sokka and Katara groaned at this, and slapped their heads.
Yue blushed at this, and shook her head.
"I'm ignoring you two. Let's go Aang" Naruto said, as he and Aang took off on their gliders.
"Ok you two perverts, get on Appa and let's go" Sokka said to Will and Toph.
"Yea yea, snoozes" Toph said, as her and Will got on Appa.
^0o0o0o0^
(Later)
Naruto and Aang were flying over a desert area, while dropping Appa's fur to leave a trail.
"Hey, I see an abandoned town up ahead," Aang said.
"That's a good place to stop, and wait," Naruto said.
Aang and Naruto landed in the middle of the abandoned town, and folded their gliders away.
"You go ahead and rest, I'll keep watch," Naruto said to Aang.
"Thanks" Aang said, as he placed his glider down, and sat down and leaned against it.
"Hey, we are the last Airbenders. It's my job to look out for you" Naruto said with a nod, as he jumped to a rooftop to get a better look at the trail they left.
"Good thing I've got some of Appa's fur left in my bag, as I can make a few pillows out of it later," Naruto thought to himself.
A few hours later, Naruto saw what looked like Azula riding towards them on her mongoose lizard.
"Aang, wake up! We have company!" Naruto yelled, as he jumped down to Aang.
Aang woke up, and got on his feet as Azula approached them.
"Finally" Azula said, as she got off her mongoose lizard.
Naruto looked around for a moment. "No Mai and Ty Lee to help ya?" he asked curiously.
"Your friends crashed your bison into some treetops as they left, so I sent them after your friends" Azula said with a smirk.
"Oh wow, they are so screwed," Naruto said with a chuckle.
^0o0o0o0^
(With Will)
Will and the others were all dealing with Ty Lee and Mai, as they attacked them and made Appa land.
"Hold still, damn it!" Toph yelled, as she chucked rocks at Ty Lee, who was jumping around easily while avoiding her attacks.
Will was dodging Mai's arrows and knives, with a smile on her face. "Wow. Naruto is right, you are good. Probably ninja good, like him" she said.
Mai quirked an eyebrow at this. "They have ninja Airbenders?" she asked curiously.
"What's he say about me?" Ty Lee asked with a smile.
Before anyone could respond, Ty Lee and Mai were sent flying by Appa, who slammed his tail at them, sending them into the lake.
"Awww, I was having fun" Will said with a pout at Appa.
Appa groaned at this, as Kurama poked his head from the edge of the saddle, to show he was the one leading Appa.
"Good kitsune," Yue said with a smile.
Appa groaned at this.
"You did good, too fluffy," Toph said, patting him on the side.
"Ok, let's go after Aang," Katara said.
"Yea, let's go save your boyfriend" Sokka said, as they all got on Appa.
Katara blushed at this, before throwing a small ball of water at Sokka's face.
^0o0o0o0^
(With Naruto)
"Do you really want to fight me?" Azula asked with a confident smirk, crossing her arms.
Suddenly, Zuko appeared from an alleyway in between Azula, Naruto and Aang.
"Yes, I really do," Zuko said with a determined look.
"Nice hairstyle, it suits you," Naruto said, recognizing Zuko.
"I was wondering when you would get here Zuzu" Azula said, giving him a smirk.
Naruto coughed out a laugh at this. "Zuzu?" he asked.
"Back off Azula! The Avatar is mine!" Zuko yelled, as he glared at her.
"Am I missing something?" Aang asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"Aang, she's the princess of the Fire Nation," Naruto said, rubbing his forehead.
"Oh… oh! She's his sister?" Aang asked in shock.
"Yea. Looks like we have to fight them both" Naruto said, as he got into a stance.
"I'll take Zuko" Aang whispered, getting into his own stance.
"Any reason why?" Naruto asked curiously.
"I figured since she's your stalker, she would go after you first," Aang said, giving Naruto a grin.
Naruto groaned at this, as he facepalmed.
Zuko paused at this, but smirked lightly as he looked at Azula, who scowled at him.
"He insulted me, you idiot! I am not interested in him in that way" Azula growled out.
"Azula always lies," Zuko said out loud, giving her a teasing grin.
Azula growled at this, and fired an attack at Zuko, starting the fight.
^0o0o0o0^
Hope that you all enjoyed this chapter, and that the harem for this is: Will, Yue, Azula, Ty Lee, Mai and Toph.
Any and all flames are no longer welcome. Also, for some reason, if I get a PM from anyone, it wouldn't show me the number(s) on fanfiction (so if you send me a PM, and I reply to it late, that's the reason why).
I've also got a few story ideas on my home page, so if any of you want to use them, just PM me and let me know.
Yes, Mai is part of this harem because me and Kfbanime87 think she'll be a good match for Naruto (don't worry, Zuko will get together with that girl he went on a date with in Ba Sing Se). And we've done Hahn as a Waterbender, because we need a bigger threat for Zhao's team, and a bloodbender is a big threat.
And once I've helped Kfbanime87 with his newest fanfic, the next update will be Uzumaki Bang Baby.
