New thought here. Now if you want this to be a actual story then review and tell me if you want it to be. However I will be more than thrilled if somebody wanted to adopt this story and write it the way they want it afterwards. I am actually going to focus more on my other stories such as Son of the Primordial Dragon (Stay tuned it is about to be updated), All For One, One For All (Stay tuned it will be updated soon as well) and maybe even Naruto of Pandora (I am trying to change up a bit of things that happen so be patient for a bit longer) Now with that out of the way, please enjoy this excerpt of The True Avatar

Avatar Naruto, Metal x Lava x Platinum x Blue Fire Bender Naruto, Chakra user Naruto, Naruto x Asami x Maki (Female Mako) x Brola (Female Bolin)


He could feel his life slowly slipping away from him. He would finally be able to join his friends and beloved wife Hinata in the next life. He had been waiting for nearly three centuries to be able to see them. His Six Paths Power had extended his life to such an extent that he had outlived the age of ninja and had become a relic of true ancient history. He had managed to bring peace to the world, save it twice actually, settle down and restore his clan, watch as his children had children. He watched as the world advanced in ways he never thought possible. He watched as less and less people joined the ninja forces, and then he watched as nobody joined anymore.

Nobody stepped up to try and serve as a warrior. His people had slowly stopped using chakra all together and relied more on technology. Orochimaru had died around 100 years before and thus left him truly alone. The Bijuu had opted to go into a alternate dimension than stay in a world where they might be used as weapons once more. Now he found himself getting ready to go. And in the end he passed on with a smile on his face. When he opened his eyes he saw he was in a giant courtyard. This was confusing, why was he here? A chuckling sound gained his attention and he turned and saw them. They all stood around him with looks of regal all about them.

Naruto took a knee and spoke "My lords and ladies I apologize for not showing proper respect to you." he told the gods. That is correct, Naruto Uzumaki was surrounded by the God's and Goddess's of his home.

A soft chuckle gained his attention "Rise Naruto Uzumaki, Yogen no Ko." and he did as told. Looking at the goddess he noticed it was Amaterasu that had ordered him to do so. He went to speak, but she stopped him "The reason we have summoned you here rather than allow you to pass to the next world is because we have yet another task for you." she told him.

Naruto cocked his head to the side "What kind of task my lady?" he asked the goddess of the sun.

Amaterasu smiled "Since you have brought peace to your word and people no longer need the power of Chakra to fight we have decided to send you on a mission for us. This will be located on a new world similar to the Elemental Nations, but it is also different. This new world has people who can bend the very elements to ther will. One such person has the ability to bend all four of them, he or she is known as the Avatar. The Avatar is a being of immense power and is always reincarnated when the current Avatar dies. Now this worlds current Avatar iss dying and is soon to reincarnate." she told him.

Naruto nodded his head and she continued "Naruto Uzumaki, what we want is simple. We want you to become the newest Avatar and stop a great calamity from coming. The person who was meant to be Avatar will not be suited enough to do the things that need to be done, and since you already have control over the elements it would be best if somebody who knew what they were doing became the next in line for the position. Your job is to ensure that peace is made in this world as well. We will have no further contact until this life ends. Farewell Uzumaki." she said and with a wave of her hand he started to disappear.

Naruto went to say something, but he wasn't able to voice it as he suddenly found himself vanishing into nothing. For a split second, Naruto felt nothing but weightlessness, as if he was floating in a never ending void, but that soon changed. There was a rush of cold wind and Naruto felt his body hit water, yet he still couldn't move his body. The raging current dragged him below the water's surface and his old lungs cried out from the lack of oxygen. Yet, not a few moments later, he felt himself wash up on soft sand, the water making the tiny pieces of dirt stick to his clothing and get into his hair. There was also a noise, like the sound of shouting in the distance, but he couldn't quite hear who was shouting and his tired old body didn't want to keep him awake any longer. With that, the last Uzumaki fell into unconsciousness.

As Naruto slept, he dreamed about things that he hadn't seen in nearly a hundred and fifty years. He dreamed about his wife, Hinata, and his two children, Boruto and Himawari, it gave him a sense of peace. Naruto never felt quite the same after they died, with his two children going out into the world to have families of their own. They had invited him to come along but it was never the same, and he knew he would outlive them as well. "Look at you Naruto-kun, letting your hair grow out till it's even longer than mine," an all too familiar voice said, causing Naruto to turn and, for once in almost a hundred years, actually see his one and only wife.

"Hinata-chan, how are you here?" Naruto had to do his best not to stutter, and it wasn't just because he could see again.

"We both know I'm not really here Naruto-kun, after all how could you be so young again?" Hinata asked and, sure enough, Naruto looked like he was twenty one again, with his short blond hair and goatee missing from his face.

"I-I don't want this dream to end," Naruto stated, wrapping his wife in his arms, holding her as close to his body as he possibly could.

"I know, but even you know your destiny won't let it come to be. Take care of yourself until we meet again" in another flash of light, everything became pitch black again and Naruto could feel his own body again, although this time it felt as if he was on a soft bed.

He felt weak, weaker than he has even been in his entire life, and there was a coldness in the air that was driving him crazy. His eyes hurt, his ears were ringing, he felt more helpless now than when Kurama had been ripped from his body, and that had killed him! What was happening?! "Hold on Miss Senna I can see the head now" a woman said in front of a screaming woman who had a vice grip on her husband's hand

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH FUCK YOU TONRAQ NEXT TIME WE HAVE CHILDREN YOUR CARRYING THE LITTLE BASTARD FOR NINE FUCKING MONTHS OH FUCK!" she roared in agony as her husband was frothing at the mouth unable to say anything because her other hand was gripping his balls through his clothes getting a pop as well as a whimper from the man.

He thought in excruciating pain 'Well there goes the left one' gasping for breath he said weakly "I-It's okay sweetie just a little more-" he said to his wife.

Cutting him off she said gripping tighter "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE YOU DID THIS TOO ME AND IF I WEREN'T IN SUCH EXRUCIATING PAIN I'D SHOVE A ICE POLE THE SIZE OF AVATAR AANG"S STATUE UP YOUR ASS AND LEAVE YOU THERE FOR ALL OF THE WORLD TO SEE!" she roared in pain.

"Alright Senna just give me one more good strong push" the nurse said guiding the woman while silently sympathizing with the agonizing husband since this isn't the first or will it be the last time she'll hear threats like that towards the husband especially from the mouths of earth bending women

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she cried when a second softer cry was heard as the nurse clipped the umbilical cord handing the bundle to her after she collapsed on the bed

"Congratulations' Senna, Tonraq it's a beautiful baby boy" she said showing the sleeping boy with whisker marks and black hair on his head.

"Look at him he's so beautiful isn't he Tonraq?" Senna said getting a nod from her husband brushing a hand through his own hair. That's when she felt it and quickly placing her newborn son in his father's arms before yelling in pain "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAHH! WHAA! THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!" she screamed in pain surprising the nurse and her husband.

Tonraq felt his eyes widen "Another one?!" he exclaimed.

The nurse rolled her eyes "While rare, twins aren't unheard of. I mean look at you and your brother chief. I honestly didn't think something like this was possible, but I guess I stand corrected." she said as Senna unleashed another yell of pain. Luckily she was no longer grabbing at her husbands nuts to try and crush them, he had already lost one of them today he sure as hell didn't wanna lose his last one. After nearly five minutes of intense pain and labor later Senna had managed to push her newborn child into the world. The nurse worked quickly to clip the cord and wrap the babe up in a blanket "Senna, Tonraq meet your new daughter. Congratulations to the both of you." the nurse said with a smile.

Tonraq kneeled next to his panting and exhausted wife, "You did well my love." he told her as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Senna gave a weak smile "So what shall we name them?" she asked her husband.

Tonraq looked at his son, his newborn son, his own flesh and blood with a smile "I can see a lot of mischief in his eyes, but I can also see a lot of compassion and a will to protect those close to him. I can sense that his chi reserves are immense. He will definitely break a lot of girl's hearts. How about we name him Naruto?" he asked his wife.

Senna looked at her son and smiled "Maelstrom huh? It suits him perfectly. And since we agreed that if we were to have a girl we would name her Korra. It looks like we both got what we wanted after all. We finally have a family." Senna said happily.

Tonraq nodded his head "Yeah, I guess we do." he said with a smile on his face.


4 years later


Naruto and Korra had grown quickly, and had even managed to learn the Art of Bending. What surprised the family of four the most was Naruto. It was on this day that Naruto would reveal his other abilities. He had so far managed to learn to bend the earth and fire. Wind was easy for him to do since it was his main affinity. Water was of course the first element that he had learned to manipulate as he grew up. The White Lotus was in search of the next Avatar when Naruto revealed his ability to bend the four elements to his father yelling about how cool he was. Of course he still had most of his old memories, but he wanted to enjoy the memories he was currently making in this world so he was allowing his old worlds memories to fade away.

He was keeping the knowledge of his techniques, you know the Rasengan/Rasenshuriken, and several other's that mattered to him. Other then that there was nothing wrong with him. Naruto was sitting in his room playing with his sister, using his bending to entertain her. He then stopped when he heard people talking in quiet voices. "Tonraq, to what do we have the pleasure of you summoning us?" a voice quietly said.

He then heard his father respond "The next Avatar." his father stated.

The voice seemed to snort "And what about it? It's not like we haven't been searching for nearly five years now." the voice said.

Naruto gave a growl as he heard his father respond with something, but he ignored it as he knocked the wall down. With a stomp he raised up several rocks and spun around while releasing a small wave of wind at the newcomer cuasing the rocks to speed at him, "What about it old man?" Naruto said proudly as he channeled his inner four year old through his body.

The man was a extremely old man with a scar across his face. He wore the traditional Fire Nation garbs that a man of his stature would. So when the Fire Lord watched as a wall came crumbling down and a child no older then five years of age came walking out bending the earth and air like nothing he couldn't help but feel some tears well up in his eyes as he looked at the child "So from a hyperactive knucklehead to a loudmouth with a chip on the shoulder's. Welcome back my old friend." he said with some tears in his eyes. He then stood up and turned to the confused child's parent's "I will inform the White Lotus of this information immediately. Farewell for now." he told the family.

With that he suddenly walked out of the igloo leaving. Several weeks later Naruto was sitting in his room while his sister was with some of her friends. He had been told that special visitors would be coming. A knock on the front door gained Tonraq's attention. Opening the door the chief steps outside and smiles at the guests "The White Lotus honors us with its presence." he said with a polite tone. With a bow he opens the door and usher's them inside from the cold.

Of course when the chief opened the door he saw his wife cleaning up yet another mess made by his son practicing his bending abilities. Seriously that boy was so young and had already managed to teach himself how to bend all four of the elements. He was sure that even Avatar's from the beginning of the cycle would be proud by these achievements. Seeing the guests outside Senna gave a polite bow to them "Welcome to our home, I hope that what we show you pleases you." she says.

One of the elderly men clear his throat "Lady Senna, while we thank you for the hospitality this is hardly the first time we have been told both in the northern tribe and the southern that some family has sired the Avatar. So explain to us how you are so sure that your son is the one?" he questioned the young mother seriously.

Senna smiled and looked down the hall "Naruto could you come here for a second, we have guests that want to see you." she called for her son. However instead of the pitter patter of children's feet, the group of men had to take a step back as one of the walls burst out and flew past them. The group of men felt their eyes widen in surprise at the sudden movement and they all turn to face the direction the piece of rock came from. They then saw the young boy dressed in the water tribe's normal sleep wear step through the hole he made.

Naruto pointed at the older man "I am the Avatar. You got to deal with it old man!" he exclaimed proudly as he jumped up and caused some rocks to rise up. With a quick heel spin he blasted the floating rocks at the group before they scattered around them. Next he brought both his hands behind his back and brought them to the front and clapped them getting a small burst of flames to erupt from the small movement. Next he begun to wave his hands around and the spilled water from his mother's vase begun to move. Several twists and turns later the water formed a serpentine creature they all recognized as a dragon.

The men looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They had found what they were searching for. The leader looked to the smiling parent's, who were quite obvious to used to cleaning up messes made by the child, and bowed "We thank you for the time. You shall hear from us soon." the man said as they soon quickly left afterwards.


15 years later


Nearly a decade and a half passed and Naruto had grown into a fine young man. He had learned and mastered three out of four elements. Earth, Fire, and Water. He had gotten several lessons from the head of the small family of Airbender's Tenzin as he was growing up, but he had yet to truly train in the art's of Airbending. Currently Naruto was taking a test to show the White Lotus that he had successfully managed to learn how to properly bend Fire. He was wearing a fireproof uniform and was standing in front of a Master. Over the years of his training he had retaught himself several styles of fighting which he integrated into his Bending abilities.

He had combined the Toad Style with his Waterbending and had easily beaten six of the Master's. He had integrated the Uchiha's Interpreter Fist into his Earthbending along with minor movements of the Go Ken. Now he was adding the Uchiha Clan's Interpreter Fist as well as the Senju Clan's Forest Fist with his Firebending. It surprised a lot of members of the White Lotus when he showed them his ability to bend the sacred and extremely rare Blue Flames that Fire Lord Zuko's sister Azula once did, but he just said I will burn away the hatred with these flames and continued to train. A blast of golden flames raced towards the young man and Naruto simply punched the flames to destroy them as he released a blast of blue fire at his enemy/opponent.

The man bent the flames away and hurled another orb of flame at the man. Naruto slid under the strike and spun around on his heel while releasing a minor wave of flames at the man. As he did so the mans partner released a double blast of flames at him causing Naruto to cover himself from the blast. However when the strike had moved back Naruto inhaled deeply and gathered his chi. With this he then gave a roar and released the flames he gathered from his jaws and created a large scale fireball that raced towards the two bender's. As this happened several elder's, including the ones who had reported their finding about Naruto, watched on calmly.

A elderly woman with a southern water tribe outfit smile as she watched the young man fight, "He sure has gotten strong over the years. I can see he is using some of Tenzin's lesson's to fend off some of the strikes aimed at him." she said. This was Katara, wife of Avatar Aang, the previous Avatar.

One of the elder's snorted "It seems he had changed up the Bending Fighting Styles we have taught him. However from what I gather these changes somehow suit his ability to fight for the better." the man said.

Another man nodded in agreement "I agree. Young Naruto has improved and has shown he is ready to move on with his training. When this is over we will have Tenzin begin training the boy." he said. The two bender's on the mat bent the large fireball away, but this was what Naruto wanted. With a clap Naruto drew his hands back, superheating his chi to an enormous degree, and blasted his hands forwards while releasing a wave of bright blue flames hot enough they were nearly white. The two men stood no chance and were blasted back into a couple of poles as Naruto stopped bending the flames at them.

Naruto took a deep breath and let it out, "Thank you for the spar gentlemen." he said calmly. With that he turned around and walked away from the two men and over to the elder's. He had grown up to be a well mannered young man, unlike in his previous life, and even showed just how much better this life had treated him unlike his last one. He was nearly six foot eight and had muscles on his body that shown how ripped and dedicated to training he was. He walked up to the elder's and gave a bow "Was my performance satesfactory to you grand master's?" he questioned the old men.

They nodded their heads "Yes it is young man. To think that at such a young age you were more of a loud-moth brat, and looking at you now we see a man who is fit for any challenge the world throws at him. Congratulations young Avatar, you are ready to begin learning Airbending." the Grand Master stated with a bow which Naruto returned.

Upon the men leaving he looked to Katara and jumped in the air "Yes, finally. I say it's about time I moved on with my final element." he said happily.

Katara gave a chuckle "Oh dear it seems that all the calm rationality and discipline ran right out of the door." the elderly said with a laugh coming from the old woman's throat.

Naruto took a deep breath and released it with a sigh of content "Thank you, Master Katara for believing in me." he said to the old woman.

Katara raised a brow "Oh, and to what do I deserve thanks for?" she questioned.

Naruto smiled back "I know it was you who told them to let me pass, so I thank you." he said simply.

Katara waved it off "No thanks I am good. Besides they would have done it regardless, Now why don't you run along and go have some fun on your own." she told the boy with a smile. Naruto said nothing else and stood up and rushed off to the stables.

He gave a laugh when he was suddenly plowed to the ground from the left and felt his face getting slobber over it "Ahh Naga, come on these ambushes are not fun. Go bug your friend, my sister, for a change would ya!" he exclaimed to the now revealed Naga. Naga also happened to be a polar bear dog, extremely rare to come across yet even harder to tame. His sister had found her when she was exploring randomly one day as a child and the two had been together ever since.

However his companion was still in the stables waiting for him to get him. When he managed to get the Polar-Bear Dog off of him he rushed inside and gave a laugh as he saw his partner seemingly asleep on the ground "Shruikan come on bud it's time to celebrate. I passed the Firebending portion of the training." he called out to his friend since childhood. A snort and blast of cold air blew across the young Avatar's face before a silver-blue eye opened up in front of him. A rustling sound was heard through the small building as Shruikan moved his body into the sunlight to reveal a extremely rare snow Dragon.

Once every six to seven centuries a ice dragon was born into the world. It just so happened Naruto managed to find this one and turn it into his partner as he grew up. Shruikan was a large dragon with pale ice blue pigmented scales. Shruikan has a long row of sharp pointed row of spikes similar to icicles running from the back of his neck to the base of his tail. His head is shaped like that of a diamond, and very narrow. The claws he has on his feet can be described to look "four times sharper than average claws" due to them being serrated which give him a better grip on the ice. Shruikan has deep cerulean blue eye's like that of fresh ice giving him a regal look.

He has four plate like horns on the back of his head rather than thick horns of a fire dragon's. He has a very swift, compact, and skinny body that is also surprisingly strong with a narrow whip-like tail with extra icicle-shaped spines, being very sharp at the tip of the tail. Shruikan also has a pair enormous wings and a long graceful neck, making him a excellent flyer and a powerful fighter if engaged in combat. Quickly jumping onto the dragon's back they took to the sky with a whoop coming from Naruto's mouth. After celebrating with a flight the dragon and his rider finally settled down and awaited for the arrival of Tenzin and his family so they could greet them.

It was dusk and Naruto stood outside the gate of the village awaiting for his new instructor. He then heard the telltale sound of a air bison and turned with a smile as he watched the flying animal descend to the ground. As the bison flew lower he couldn't help but chuckle as he heard Ikki rattle her father's ear's off with her constant barrage of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? This looks familiar so we must be there!" which caused Naruto's smile to grow larger.

He heard Tenzin give a huff "Yes Ikki, how many times in the past fifteen minutes since we have arrived have I told you that yes we have arrived?" the man questioned his daughter as the sky bison landed. Naruto nearly lost it when he saw Meelo chewing on his father's head, but he kept it in. He watched as Tenzin's children Ikki and Jinora jumped off of the Air Bison's backs with happy exclamation's while Tenzin simply climbed down with Meelo still clinging to him. He smiled when he saw his mother standing there waiting for him "Oh hello mother. You don't know how happy I am to see you." he said before leaning down and whispering "Please help me, I am about to lose my mind." causing his mother to laugh.

Katara smiled and took Meelo from his father which the boy did not like "Unhand me strange woman!" he exclaimed as he wailed about trying to escape his grandmother.

Tenzin looked to his son "Meelo, that's your grandmother." he said to the child causing him to stop his thrashing.

Meelo hopped out of her hands and hid behind his father for a second before he blew a raspberry at Katara before running off to play. Katara didn't mind and gave a smile "It warms my heart to see you all." she told her family happily.

Jinora gave her grandmother a hug as well as a greeting before she stepped back "Gran-Gran I was reading about one of your adventures the other day, and I wanted to ask, what happened to Zuko's mother?" she asked.

Katara went to answer but Ikki suddenly jumped in front of the elderly woman and begun to rant off her ears causing Naruto to chuckle as he watched the child. It was also at this time he noticed a extremely pregnant woman begin to make her way off the bison. Walking over calmly he smiled as he offered a hand to the woman "Here Penma, let me help you." he said to her politely.

Penma smiled "While I thank you for the help I want you to remember that I'm just pregnant, not disabled Naruto. Sheesh you're almost as bad as Tenzin is." she said with a smile.

Katara walked over and placed her hand on the pregnant woman's belly "The baby sure is strong. I see a future bender coming again." she said with a smile on her face.

Penma gave a blank expression "Is it really to hard to ask for a normal baby. One that's not blowing air in my face every five seconds. I just want a regular, non-bender child like me." she said in exasperation.

It was also at this time Meelo called out to his mother. Knowing what the child intended before hand Naruto spoke up "Meelo if you even think about it, I'm gonna freeze you in place until I feel satisfied or until I'm told to let you go." he said to the young boy causing the boy to blow the snow off his body where it didn't cover his mother and his father's disciple in snow.

Penma gave a sigh "Were Tenzin and his siblings as bad as Meelo was?" she asked the woman.

Katara gave a laugh "Bumi and Kya were, but Tenzin was always so serious." she responded to the pregnant woman.

Tenzin cleared his throat "Naruto my boy I heard the news. I'm proud of how far you have come. You have indeed become quite the strong Avatar Naruto." he said to the young man.

Naruto gave a bow to the Airbender "Thank you Master. I am ready to begin learning the ways of airbending with your guidance upon your word." he said respectfully.

Tenzin sighed and shook his head "Naruto, I'm afraid that there is some bad news." he told the young man.

Naruto raised a brow "Oh, uh what is it? If you have to delay my training for a couple weeks then I completely understand. I mean you can leave some books for me to study and I will do so if that is the case. If there is something worse then allow me to come help you at Air Temple Island. I can stay at the temple and train there while helping Penma watch the kids." he offered Tenzin.

The older man shook his head "Naruto I'm afraid that isn't possible. People in Republic City are divided now more than ever before. People who bend are starting to be scandalized while those who don't strike out whenever they can. Soon a all out war is going to break out." he told the young man.

Naruto felt his eyes widen, "Then let me come. If your father and Lord Zuko founded Republic City then it is my duty to ensure that no blood is spilled between those who bend and those who don't. Aang was my predecessor and it is my duty as his legacy to ensure that the people live to see a better tomorrow." he told Tenzin honestly.

Tenzin sighed once more "I'm sorry Naruto, but the situation is to dangerous for you. While I am proud that you are capable of using all four of the elements I am sorry to tell you I am only visiting for the night. Once things in Republic city settle down, then your training as the Avatar begins. Until then you are staying here in the compound to master some books that I managed to bring from my father's library." he told the teenager.

The next day Naruto watched on the back of his dragon as the Sky Bison with the Airbending family flew away. His sister had come home upon hearing about Tenzin's arrival and had been quite upset that they would only be visiting. Korra looked to her brother "So, you still plan on going... don't you?" she questioned.

Naruto looked to his sister "If I had any other choice I would stay here and be with you and our parents. But with the way things are going in Republic City I have no choice but to follow Tenzin. I leave at sundown to ensure they have a good lead on me. We can still hang out until then." he offered his sister. Korra nodded her head and said she liked the idea. That night Naruto stood before his parents and sister with a sad smile on his face, "Ma, Pa... I'm gonna miss the both of you." he said before looking to his sister "You take care of the place while I'm gone right." he said as she nodded her head.

Tonraq smiled and stepped forward "I am proud to call you my son Naruto. No go on out there and have an adventure." he said to his son as he gave him his blessing.

Senna smiled at her eldest "Stay safe and don't cause trouble. Oh and if you meet a girl and stay with her, treat her right ok." she said as Naruto smiled at her and nodded his head. With their farewells said Naruto jumped onto the saddle of his dragon and with a command the great beast was in the air flying north to Republic city. Flying through the night Naruto watched as he and his dragon finally made it to their destination, Republic City. Patting his dragon on the back he was given a low hum from the great creature s they neared the shoreline.

The amazing thing about dragons was that they could fly weeks without sleep, so this was nothing for Shruikan to do. Landing at the docks he climbed of and stretched his muscles a bit and pat his dragon while he ignored the astounded looks from the people around him. Walking into the city he finally got a look at his destination. He gave a chuckle "We made it bud, Republic City. And right in front of us is the place we need to be, Air Temple Island." he said as Shruikan gave a huff of agreement, some cold flame coming from his nostrils as he did so. To clarify a Ice Dragon is not a dragon that breath's Ice. It is a Dragon that can breath Flames so cold they made anything they touch brittle enough that with a mere touch it would shatter.

Climbing onto the dragon's back he gave the command for him to take off, however in a surprising turn of events the dragon begun to walk down the street smelling the air as he did so, "Whoa bud. We need to get to the island, not hunt." he said trying to steer the dragon back around. However Shruikan ignored his master's order and continued to walk down the street. Upon arriving at a tent Shruikan stopped as a delicious smell entered Naruto's nose, "Ok I take that back. Meal first then Air Temple Island. Let me see if I have enough to feed us bud." he said as he dug around in his wallet. He nodded to himself when he found that he did indeed have enough to feed his hungry dragon.

Walking into the tent, with Shruikan sticking his head in, Naruto sat at the bar "Excuse me I would like to place a order." Naruto called out gaining the chef's attention.

Walking over the man leaned against the counter "What can I get ya?" he asked his new customer.

Naruto smiled "One of everything. I'll pay up front for it all." he said to the man as he laid down a couple of golden coins.

The chef looked at them with wide eyes "Ok, you sure you don't want four of everything. I mean with this type of payment I could make that amount for you." he said to the Avatar.

Naruto almost jumped in surprise but managed to keep the shock in "Y-Yeah sure." he said accepting the offer. After waiting for nearly fifteen minutes the chef and a young woman walked out carrying several bags with his purchases.

Setting them down the chef smiled "Well, here you go. Four of everything just like you paid for. Thanks for the business and please come again anytime you like good sir." he said with a bow.

Naruto returned it and looked to his hungry dragon. Placing half of the containers in front of Shruikan they watched as the dragon quickly licked the small paltes clean before he looked to Naruto who smiled as he finished loading his remaining bags of food onto the dragon's saddle, "Alright bud I hoped you enjoyed the meal, but now it's time to get going." he said as he walked out of the tent with his dragon happily following behind him. So with that they begun to wander aimlessly around trying to find their way back to the docks, without success. Naruto eventually stopped and asked for directions and was told to head straight down the road.

With a thanks to the old woman he begun to make his way to Air Temple Island. It was also at this time that a Sato Mobile begun rolling down the road. He was urged by the woman to flee while he could before she closed her shop. Naruto looked to the thugs as they climbed out of the car and walked over to him, "Nice dragon ya got there. How bout you let us take him off your hands, I'm sure we'd make a great deal for him." he said to the young man.

Naruto narrowed his eyes "Seriously, you're going to go with that line "Give me what I want now, or else I'm going to hurt you" like really, that is so old school it makes me wanna barf." he said to the thug.

The thug snorted "Listen bub, I don't think you got my message. I am telling you, hand the dragon over to us now, or else I will kill you without a care." he demanded from Naruto.

Naruto gave a growl and drew his hands behind his back quickly before thrusting them forward as he released a inferno of white hot flames at the man who shouted in surprise as he was blasted back. The Firebender blasted some flames at the young Avatar, but Naruto simply forced molecules of Water to form into a large wall of water where the flames turned to steam, and then water as Naruto made it disappear. With a grunt Naruto thrust his foot out and sent a large glob of water at the hocked man's face and turned it to ice. With a kick to the face Naruto quickly dispatched him and turned to the now fleeing Sato Mobile.

"You're not getting away from me!" he yelled out to the remaining man who tried to steal his dragon from him. Reaching out quickly he 'grasped' the Metallic machine and pulled causing it to screech to a halt and throw the man out of the front window. With a stomp Naruto brought up some Earth and had it wrap around the man and trap him. People who had seen the spectacle were wide eyed at what they had witnessed. A young man coming out of nowhere was Bending Earth, Fire, and Water with ease. Only one person in the world was able to do that. Suddenly the sound of sirens gained his attention causing him to wince "I think we're in the Polar Bear Dog House now." he said to himself."

Suddenly a loudspeaker activated "This is the police, stay where you are." a voice ordered as sevral Metal Bender's jumped out of the Airship.

Naruto raised his hands in the air "Great, now what am I gonna do?" Naruto asked himself.

One of the officer's landed in front of Naruto "You there, freeze in the name of the law." he ordered the young Avatar.

Naruto gave a huff "I did the moment you told me the first time when you arrived officer." he responded. He then pointed to the unconscious thugs "Oh and just so you know I caught the criminals you should have caught to begin with. Just be glad I didn't cause collateral damage to the place." he said to the cop. With a snap of his fingers the cop pointed to the three thugs and had them restrained as they woke up. He then pointed at Naruto and the young Avatar soon found himself restrained, not that he put up a fight to begin with. Several more cops arrived and began to restrain Shruikan. However the Dragon gave a roar as it covered its body in its cold flames causing the metal to break apart.

Drawing his head back to attack Naruto gave a sharp whistle stopping the dragon from harming the police officer's, and stopping them from trying to hurt the dragon as well. With that done they managed to successfully wrap the dragon with their metal wires. The cop that had restrained Naruto looked at him "Thanks for stopping the dragon. Now if you would be as so kind as to come with us, we need to ask you some questions at HQ." he said to Naruto who responded to him by saying 'Lead the way.' and followed behind him.


Naruto was now in a interrogation room awaiting to be questioned, and he wasn't the most patient person right now, "Seriously what is the big deal those thugs were threatening to take my dragon, and I did what any normal bender would of done and stopped them. Like seriously is that any reason to arrest a man?" Naruto complained rather loudly so that he might be heard outside of the interrogation room.

As if in response the door to the room opened revealing a woman with dark, if not slightly graying, shoulder length hair in a metalbending uniform that was darker in color than the average officer with golden accents. "Let's see, we have several counts for public brawling, public fighting, and even disturbing the peace." The woman read the list of charges off the files on a clipboard before she slammed it onto the table between herself and the teen "While not as bad as many would put it, you still broke the law kid, and I hate it when people just go about ruining the day. Especially when it is mine." The woman stated agitated.

Naruto nodded his head in slight agreement, "But still if you think about, protecting one's own property is still nothing to squawk about." he responded to her.

The woman seemed to grow more annoyed at the young bender before she slammed her hand on the table to get his attention focused back on her "That's enough of that. You just don't seem to realize just how much trouble you are in at the moment." The woman said angrily looking at teen in front of her.

Snapping back to the situation at hand Naruto began to argue his case "Listen this has all been a huge misunderstanding," he said before he corrected himself, "Well mostly a misunderstanding." he stated. "I couldn't just ignore someone threatening to kill me just so he could sell my dragon to some high grade pen." he claimed before he played the Avatar card. According to Katara when Aang revealed that he was the Avatar to people it would either get them out of trouble or at least some leeway. "You see I'm the Avatar." he revealed in what he hoped was a dramatic enough fashion for the biggest impact.

The woman snorted at the young man "Oh I am well aware of who you are. And your Avatar title might impress some people," The woman said, before she ruined his hope of being released, "But not me." She stated firmly.

Naruto let out a heavy sigh a little disappointed that his gamble failed completely before steeling himself. "Alright, fine." he said. "Then I want to talk to whoever's in charge." he demanded.

The woman finally took the seat across from the teen, a quick glare directed at Naruto causing the teen to stop chuckling, before she spoke. "You're talking to her." She revealed, "I'm Chief Beifong." she then told him.

Naruto felt his eyes widen in surprise as he made a connection now that the dark haired woman identified who she was. "Wait, Beifong. Lin Beifong?" he questioned for clarities sake and getting a nod in turn. "You're Toph's daughter!" he pointed out in shock.

"What of it?" Lin returned gruffly looking at the Water Tribe man scrutinizing wondering where he was going with that tidbit of information.

Naruto was a little put off by Lin's apathetic response. "Why are you treating me like a criminal? Avatar Aang and your mother were friends. They saved the world together." he nearly shouted in anger.

Lin let out an annoyed sigh "And what you're talking about is ancient history... and it's got diddle squat to do with the mess you're in right now. You can't just waltz in here and dole out some form of self induced justice like you own the place!" Lin finished.

A slot in the far side of the wall opened up revealing a police officer drawing the attention of the occupants of the room. "Chief," The man addressed. "Councilman Tenzin is here." He informed her.

Lin let out a tired sigh at the news. "Let him in." She instructed as calmly as she could as she stood from the table to face the door behind her.

The door slowly slid open revealing Tenzin a bald man with a blue arrow tattooed on his head, with a beard and moustache, and wearing yellow-orange and red robes typical to airbenders. As the man walked into the room he attempted to appear composed but anyone who knew the man could tell he was disgruntled and barely keeping up appearances.

"Tenzin," Naruto bean with a sheepish smile on his face. "Sorry... I got a little side tracked on my way to see you." he apologized attempting to make light of the situation.

Despite his annoyance Tenzin stifled it to the best of his abilities as he took a deep breath and greeted Lin pleasantly. "Lin, you are looking radiant as usual." He complimented the woman.

"Cut the garbage, Tenzin." Lin retorted with a snarl, nearly, towards the airbender, "Why is the Avatar in Republic City? I thought you were supposed to be moving down to the South Pole to train him?" She questioned the man before stern look shifted into a glare.

Tenzin brushed off Lin's rebuttal to his comment simply enough having dealt with it for a number of years now, but he was brought up short at her final question and the accusation it carried leaving him spluttering for an explanation. "Uh, yes, well." Tenzin sputtered a bit. "I received an urgent summons from the council that pulled me away." He tried to explain but Lin was obviously not satisfied by it. Tenzin coughed into his hand in order to regain his composure and press ahead.

"As to the other matter my relocation has been temporarily delayed." Tenzin stated seriously his mind briefly flashing to all the problems currently facing Republic City before continuing. "The Avatar, on the other hand, will be heading back to the South Pole immediately, where he will stay put." He finished directing the last bit of his declaration specifically towards Naruto.

"But-" hetried to protest but a look from stopped him before he could get a word in edgewise.

"If," Tenzin began cutting the young man, secretly old, off. "You would be so kind as to drop the charges against Naruto, I will take full responsibility for today's regrettable events, and cover all the damages." Tenzin promised.

For a few seconds Lin looked at the young Bender as if weighing her options but after a few more seconds of deliberation before letting out a breath and unlocking his handcuffs with a flippant wave of her hand. "Fine." Lin relented. I'll let him go, but get him out of my city and keep a closer eye on him." she all but ordered Tenzin firmly.

Tenzin took that chance to beat a hasty retreat. "Always a pleasure, Lin." He said somewhat hurriedly turning around walking out. "Let's go Naruto." he ordered and Naruto followed after Tenzin first briefly turning around.

"See you later." Naruto said bidding his farewell to the women giving her a two fingered salute before exiting. As he was leaving she made eye contact with the Avatar, Lin gestured that she would be keeping her eyes on him, which Naruto returned.


When they walked out of the police station Naruto looked at Tenzin in worry, having made it this far already he did not want to return to the southern tribe "Tenzin, please don't send me back home." he pleaded

"You blatantly disobeyed my wishes and the orders of the White Lotus." Tenzin said in return.

"You do know that Katara agreed with me that I should come. She said my destiny is in Republic City." Naruto argued with the older Bender.

The older Airbender came to a halt and faced the young Avatar, "Don't bring my mother into this!" Tenzin said with anger as his face turned red.

Naruto gave a huff "Look, I can't wait any longer to finish my training. Being cooped up and hidden away from the world isn't helping me become a better Avatar. I saw a lot of the city today and it's totally out of wack. I understand now why you said that you needed to stay, but it needs me too." Naruto said honestly.

Tenzin struggled with coming up with an argument with his words, but was tongue tied.

"Is this your ice dragon, sir?" asked an officer who was being held protectively like a china doll by said dragon.


Republic City Docks


Naruto sighed as he started to head towards the White Lotus members so he could return the South Pole. However before he made it far, two air gliders landed next to Korra and Tenzin's three children, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo ran to the young Avatar.

"Naruto!" they each shouted in excitement.

"Are you coming to live with us on the island?" asked Ikki excitedly.

Naruto knelt down and placed a hand on both Jinora and Ikki's shoulders, "No, I'm sorry Ikki, I have to go home now." he said sadly.

"Aw." Said Ikki with a saddened face.

Naruto silently returned it and pat the girl on the head before he walked to the ship ready to take him home.

"Wait." Tenzin said as he stepped forward, "I have done my best to guide Republic City towards the dream my father had for it. But you are right. It has fallen out of balance since he has passed. I thought I should put off your training in order to uphold his legacy, but it is as you said back in the southern tribe, you are his legacy." Tenzin said as he placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, "You may stay and train airbending here with me. Republic City needs its Avatar once again." He finished

"Yes! Thank you! You're the best!" Naruto cheered happily. The kids cheered also and he hugged them all together. Naruto let them down and looked up to Tenzin and grinned, "You are such a big softly." he said with a cheesy grin.

"Be quiet Naruto." Tenzin said plainly.


The next day at Republic City Town Hall


Naruto stood on the podium as he started his speech.

He cleared his throat, "Hello, I'm Naruto, your new Avatar." he announced to the populace. The crowd cheered.

"Does this mean you're moving into Republic City?" asked a reporter

"Were you trying to send a message to the triads yesterday?" asked a different reporter

"Will you be fighting crime or the anti-bending revolution or both?" asked a third reporter

"Will you be working with Chief Beifong and the police?" asked a different reporter

"Um, yes, I am defiantly here to stay, but as of right now I don't have any plans set up. See I'm still in training, but look… all I know is Avatar Aang meant for this city to be the center of peace and balance in the world and…I believe we can make his dream a reality." Naruto said sincerely, "I look forward to serving you. I'm so happy to be here! Thank you Republic City!" he said cheerfully as he threw his hands in the air.

"Alright, that's all the questions the Avatar can answer for today." Tenzin said as he rushed the young man off the stage.


The next day at Airbender Island


"And in the final round the buzzerwasps won with a decisive knockout." Naruto said excitedly as he read the paper, "What do you say we go to the arena tonight and catch a few pro-bending matches?" he asked excitedly. When he lived back in the Elemental Nations, sports were a very big thing, and he grew to love them. With the creation of Pro-Bending he was all for it since he compared it to the Chunin exams before the War.

"That sport is a mockery of the noble tradition of bending." Tenzin argued with the teenager.

"Come on Tenzin, I've been dreaming to see a pro-bending match since I was a kid and now I'm just a ferry ride away." Naruto whined/said as he pointed at the arena across the lake.

"Naruto, you're not here to watch that drivel. You're here to finish your Avatar training. So for the time being I want you to remain on the island." Tenzin said

"Is that why your keeping the White Lotus sentries around to watch my every move?" he asked as he pointed to the dozen or so sentries guarding the dining hall.

Tenzin nodded his head, "Yes, in order to learn airbending, I believe you require a calm and quiet environment free from any distractions." Tenzin lectured the boy.

Naruto couldn't help but cross his arms with a pout "Alright, you're the master." Naruto grumbled reluctantly.


Air Temple training ground


"So so, what do you think of Republic City Naruto huh huh huh?" Ikki asked excitedly as they waited for Tenzin to show up.

Naruto hmmed as he threw Meelo into the air and the young Airbender landed on his shoulders with airbending, "Well, it definitely is different than I thought it would be. To be honest I expected something less different than what I imagined it t be, but all in all, it's pretty cool." Naruto said to the young Airbender.

Ikki grinned brightly "Does that mean you're going to move here and live with us forever?" she asked quickly.

"Ikki calm down." Jinora said "Don't mind her Naruto, she's weird like that." Jinora said with a smile.

"Yes, yes she is. But in a good way." Naruto smiling at the two.

They saw Tenzin entering the training ground.

"Naruto's gonna airbend, Naruto's gonna airbend!" Ikki said excitedly while jumping up and down.

"So, what is this contraption?" Naruto asked as he looked at the large training device.

"A time honored tool that teaches the most fundamental aspects of airbending. Jinora would you like to explain this exercise?" Tenzin asked his oldest child.

"The goal is to weave your way through the gates and to make to the other side without touching them." Jinora said as she gave a textbook answer.

"Seems easy enough." Naruto said calmly.

"Jinora forgot to say that you have to make it through while the gates are spinning." Ikki added towards the Avatar.

Tenzin stepped forward and released an air blast and the gates started to spin. Tenzin picked up a leaf, "The key is to be like the leaf." He said as he sent the leaf through the device, "Flow with the movements of the gates. Jinora will demonstrate." Tenzin finished. Jinora wove through the gates with easy as Tenzin added commentary. "Airbending is all about spiral movements. When you meet resistance you must be able to switch directions at a moment's notice." he lectured the Avatar.

Jinora exited the gates on the other side and sent an air blast to get the gates to rotate again. "Let's do this!" Naruto said with determination. With that he quickly made his way up the steps and begun to use his past life's experience as a hardened warrior to bob and weave his way through the gates. Tenzin smiled as he watched Naruto make quick and logical turns that easily saw him pass through the gates.

Upon exiting Tenzin smiled "Very good. It seems that you are indeed worthy of the training set up for you later on as a airbender." he told Naruto who grinned.


Later that night


Naruto was sitting on the roof of the Sentry tower with a smile on his face. He was sitting calmly thinking about how well the day had went so far and sighed in contentment as he lay on his back. The reborn warrior then heard the radio chatter in the distance talking about pro-bending. Naturally he decided to listen in and sat back up once again. He didn't even make a sound as he listened to the radio as he imagined the fight going on.

And just as it was getting to the best part…the radio was unplugged. "Naruto, come down here please." Tenzin said holding the radio cable. Naruto just gave a sigh slide off the roof and landed on a soft pile of earth and walked in to the building.

"You shut it off at the best part!" he complained to his teacher.

"I thought I made myself clear. I don't want you listening to this distracting nonsense." Tenzin said with authority.

"But it's their radio." he said as she pointed to the White Lotus guards, "And technically you said I couldn't watch a match. You didn't say anything about listening to one." he argued back towards Tenzin.

"You…you know what I meant. Anyway should you be in bed Naruto?" He asked as he used his airbending to flip his cape.


The next day


Naruto was in his Southern Praying Mantis stance with his eyes closed. He turned to his left and shot out three earth columns and then followed with making branches of earth sticking out of them. He reversed the motion and made an earth line to his right at a tree and then levitated several small rocks and tried to compress them. He then proceeds to firing the compressed rocks at another tree and ripped holes into it. "Damn, still to slow in compressing." He muttered as he wiped his brow with a towel. He had been practicing for three hours straight.

"Wow that was cool." Said the voice of Jinora.

He turned to see the young airbending teen, sipping what seemed to be a glass of lychee juice.

"Hey Jinora, how are you doing?" he said while wiping himself off.

"Nothing really. Waiting around sucks." She said plainly.

"It is, but that is why we learn patience." He countered as he fixed the terrain of his training area with earthbending.

"You sound like papa. So what are you doing?" she asked

"Eh, just practice. I'm trying to compress large rocks quicker." He said

Jinora finished her drink and looked at him curiously "Why?" she asked him.

Naruto grinned, "Watch." He said as he brought up a medium size rock, compressed it in about five seconds and punched it sending the fragments of the rock forward and pelting into a tree.

"Whoa." She said in awe.

"I call it a scatter shot. I created it so I could strike anybody who tried to attack me head on." He said

"That does seem useful." Jinora admitted.

"Yep and that's why I want to get the timing down quicker." He said

"Well I'm going to head off to relax with mama. See ya in the afternoon Naruto. And try not to work to hard!" She said

"Man time flies." He muttered and headed towards the meditation area.

It was around fifteen minutes after he arrived that Tenzin did. The older Airbender smiled towards his student, "Ah, I am glad to see that you made it on time Naruto. Now let us begin the meditation." he said as he sat down.

Naruto cleared his throat "Do you mind if I do it differently?" he questioned causing Tenzin to open his eyes.

Cocking his head to the side curiously he asked "What do you mean?" asking for Naruto to elaborate.

Instead of speaking Naruto began to Erathbending and soon a large spike of earth rose out of the ground where it was soon fifteen feet off the ground. Stomping a flat piece of earth flew up where he caught it. Looking to his master he spoke "If Airbending is the element of freedom and balance, then one should try to achieve both at the same time. I always heard tales of people who meditated this way back before the Hundred Year War and decided that I wanted to try achieve my own peace and freedom like they did." he explained.

Tenzin gave a shrug "If that is what you wish then by all means go ahead." he said to the young man.

Naruto grinned and jumped up where he placed the exact center of the earthen plate on top of the spike and sat down. Tenzin watched in silent awe as Naruto kept his balance and didn't fall like he initially thought he would. Closing his eyes Naruto begun to meditate, and soon the world turned white around him and swallowed him as it led him to a different world.


Spirit World


Upon opening his eyes Naruto looked around in wonder as he saw he was no longer in the physical realm. With no clear idea as to where he should go he begun to walk. And he walked, and walked and walked for what felt like hours on end. Until he came across what appeared to be a extremely familiar valley... The Valley of the End. Naruto couldn't help but gasp in shock as he didn't expect to see the sight of the final battle he ever had in his life, but here it was just as he remembered it.

The sound of laughter and celebration soon drew his attention and he followed it. When he pushed aside a large rock he gasped at the sight in front of him. He thought he would never see them again since he was in a different world all together, but yet here they were celebrating happily like nothing ever happened. The Tailed Beasts were laughing happily as they joked around while in between them sat a large table with over fifteen people sitting around it.

In order the people were Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Hamura Otsutsuki, Indra Otsutsuki, Ashura Otsutsuki, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya, Neji Hyuuga, Hinata Hyuuga, Boruto Uzumaki, Himawari Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, and Minato Namikaze, all with large happy smiles on their faces as they enjoyed the company around them.

The large orange fox with nine tails stopped his celebrations and turned towards him gaining all the others attention as they soon turned their gaze towards the former blonde. Naruto slowly walked over to the fox and with a couple of silent tears in his eyes, held up his fist towards his ancient partner who returned the jester as they bumped fists. Kurama smiled at his friend "It took a long time, Naruto, but you finally made it here." the fox said happily.

Releasing the bump Naruto found he was surrounded by all of the people at the large tale. He looked to the one person he waited so long to see and grabbed her and dragged her into a hug "I've missed you Hina." he said quietly to his former wife. As they shed tears nobody spoke and let them have their moment. Upon releasing the hug he quickly held his children and told them how much he missed them with tears in his eyes. When all the crying was done Naruto looked to Madara and Hashirama "Been a long time, don't suppose you tried starting a whole new war while you were here?' he joked.

Madara snorted "No. Fortunately I have long since given up such ambitions of the like. I have decided to wait for you so we could exchange knowledge with one another." he responded to the blonde man.

Naruto nodded his head "Good to hear Madara. I hope that we can learn much from one another." he said as he shook hands with the former Uchiha warrior. He then looked to Sakura "Hello Sakura. I missed you." he said to his former teammate who gave him a hug.

Releasing it she sniffled "Same to you knucklehead. Truthfully I am just visiting, I didn't expect to see you here this time round. Sasuke-kun has been waiting for your arrival so the two of you could speak." she told him. After that pleasentries were quickly passed around, and soon Naruto stood in front of the two Sage Brother's.

He gave a bow "I am honored to be in your presence once again great grandpa." he said honestly.

Hagoromo pat his shoulder "While the thought is returned I am afraid I am only here to pass on one final gift to you before you return to the material world." he said to the man.

Naruto stood up "Ok, what is it?" he questioned the Sage.

Hamura stepped forward "It is a power you were once gifted, but lost upon your death. The power of the Six Paths. To be honest when Hagoromo told me about you I didn't believe him, but now that I have seen for myself what you are capable of I am glad to say I have been proven wrong. That is why I wish to pass on to you some of my own power of the Six Paths." he said surprising the blonde.

Hagoromo chuckled "And then let us begin once more." he said before looking to his creations, "Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuuki, Kurama it is time to return the power that belongs to the Child of Prophecy to where it rightfully belongs so that he may bring about a era of great change and thus bring balance back into a world torn apart by war." he said as the Tailed Beasts surrounded the blonde and once more stacked hands.

Naruto couldn't help but feel nostalgic at the sight as he remembered the time he first met the Tailed Beasts during the fight against the Akatsuki. Quickly sticking his hands up he soon made contact with the stacked hands and suddenly felt a rush of power rush into his body, feeling as something that once felt like it was missing came back to him. When they unstacked their hands Hashirama walked forward to him with a smile on his face "And I too wish to bestow you with some of my power" he said to Naruto.

Hashirama held up a flat palm and Naruto placed his own upon his former life's own, and felt as a rush of power entered his body. Knowledge and memories of fights and techniques were imprinted into his own mind as Hashirama gave him his power. When he finished Hashirama stepped back with a smile while Madara stepped forward.

Naruto looked to Hagoromo and Hamura who each held up a palm. Naruto already knew what was happening and thus rightfully placed his hand against their own and felt their power rush into him. When they finished Hagoromo smiled "And now the time for us to go is upon us. Do not fear Naruto, we will never forsake you." he said as he, Hamura, Indra, Ashura, Hashirama, and Madara faded away. While they faded away, the others did not.

Naruto looked to the group with a smile on his face "You guys don't know how glad I am to have met up with all of you." he said with a chuckle.


When Naruto had finished talking with everyone, and hitting Jiraiya for dying on him during his fight against Pain, he watched as each of his friends and family waved farewell with promises of visiting him he looked to the Tailed Beasts who had no choice but to stay, "So, what now?" he asked them.

Kurama looked to his former friend "Now you wake up. Don't worry Naruto, if you need us all you need to do is call us and we will come." he told the former jinchuuriki. Naruto nodded his head and concentrated before he vanished to return to the material plane.


Material Realm


Naruto opened his eyes and saw that Tenzin was still meditating below him and decided to call it a day. Jumping down he landed softly and told Tenzin he needed to take a break which Tenzin said he could. Thus Naruto's day was quickly wrapped up afterwards and he soon went to bed.

XxX Later that night XxX

He couldn't help but feel as if something were calling him. With that Naruto opened a window of where he was staying watching as a White Lotus sentry passed by. Despite Tenzin's insistence of him not letting himself be distracted by the sport Naruto had already decided that he wasn't going to miss her first pro-bending match for anything in the world. Jumping out of the window Korra landed silently on the ground before making a break for it. Without the least bit hesitance, the young Avatar jumped off a cliff and into the bay, using his Waterbending to bend some water into a funnel to catch him.

Once he was underwater Naruto then proceeded to swim towards the pro-bending arena. Naruto eventually emerged from under the water next to pro-bending arena. A smile graced his wet face when he noticed that a window had been left open far above him. Using his Waterbending Naruto quickly propelled himself up and through the window, landing lightly on the other side, before waterbending the water off of himself in a twirl.

With the escape from the island complete, he begun to explore his surroundings. The first room that he came across was a large spacious room. The room seemed to by gym with training equipment scattered about along with some earth disks and nets. Naruto couldn't help it and smiled as he took it all in, imaging using some of the equipment himself as he prepared for a match. Naruto continued to look around with a smile on his face as he turned his head in every which way as he took it all in.

While it wasn't likely, Naruto thought that the trouble that he could get into if his teacher found out about his escape was definitely well worth it in exchange for the happiness he felt right now. "Hey!" A voice from behind them shouted, startling the teen' and causing him to turn around. "What are you- Oh it's you." The man, an older gentleman with white hair pulled back into a ponytail and large sideburns, started rather forcefully near the beginning only to deflate near the end once he spotted Naruto. The man wore earthbender clothing with a towel around his neck and arms bandaged.

"Uh," Naruto started. "I-I uh was just-" he began to give their excuse only to be caught off by the man.

"Save it." The man stated. "I have heard it all, no excuses will stop me from doing my job." The man said as he walked up to Naruto, ready to escort him out.

However, before he could do that- "There you are!" A young woman, with shoulder length black hair braided up in a ponytail style, green eyes, and dressed in pro-bending equipment, said rushing towards the teen her gaze fixed on Naruto. "It's all right Toza he's-" she began to say but Toza stopped her.

"Yeah whatever kid." Toza said grumpily. "He's your responsibility. I've got work to do." He said walking away using his earthbending to lift and throw a dumbbell around the room.

"Phew, that was a close one." she muttered quietly to herself, but quickly recovered from it. "Anyway if you'll come right this way, Sir, I'll give you the grand tour." the young woman promised. The teen lead Naruto into the locker room that that revealed the playing field an entire side of the wall missing to reveal the field and offer a great view.

"What do you think? Best seats in the house huh?" The teen asked, mostly interested in Naruto's response.

Naruto looks out in awe walking to the very edge of the locker room and resting his hands on the handrail. "Whoa! Unbelievable! This place is even more amazing than I imagined." Naruto said distracted as he looked around. Behind the three of them another couple of people entered the locker room dressed in the same red pro-bending uniform as the black-haired teen.

"Name's Brola by the way." She said introduced to herself.

"Naruto." Naruto replies absently much too busy looking around so he didn't have his focus completely on the young beauty, with slightly larger breasts than Penma. God he wished Tenzin would leave so he could suckle on those heavenly fruits.

"Brola what are you doing?" From off to the side one of the people who walked in calls Brola's name trying to get her attention.

Brola made her way towards the person unbothered, sparing Naruto a quick glance. "Yeah?" she asked.

"I told you," A teen with long black hair and orange colored eyes, size DD breasts, said as she pulled her close "You have to stop bringing in your crazy fans in here before the matches. Get him out of here." she instructed firmly, briefly eyeing Naruto, as she finished putting on the last of her gear.

"Ah, come on Maki." Brola complained. "Alright, look, I kinda promised that he could stay." she started off. "Besides I don't think that he's taken, you know in the couple of minutes I've known him I could tell, he's single." Brola said rather excitedly at the end and then quickly recovering. "But come on, I've got a good feeling, there's something special about him. I just know it." she reasoned trying to get Maki to change her mind.

"Is something wrong?" Naruto asked walking over to the pair calmly.

"Not at all." Brola replied urging Naruto closer before turning back to Maki. "Everything will be fine if he's with me, right?" she asked Naruto.

"Yeah, I'm with her." Naruto agreed suddenly worried that they might get thrown out and she'd end up missing the match.

"So, you see, we're together." Brola told Maki eagerly.

Naruto looked at Brola out of the corner of his eye a slightly guarded expression on his face. "Well not together, together." he refuted charily. "More like friends." he explained definitively.

Brola immediately backtracked mortified and trying to ease the situation. "Right, friends." she agreed hastily. "No, no, I didn't mean to imply." she said trying to defend herself.

"Oh, you implied it." Naruto accused the young woman.

"Anyway." Brola continued trying to maintain some sense of poise. "I want you both to meet my older sister, Maki." she said introducing her sister to the man.

Naruto's previous accusing expression suddenly changed as Maki's name registered in his mind. "Maki?" he repeated sounding impressed. "Wow, I heard you play on the radio." he said holding out his hand for her to shake.

Maki in response completely brushed Naruto off without saying a word to him. "Come on, Brola, we're up." she told her sister putting on her helmet.

"Or I could meet her later." Naruto muttered withdrawing his hand.

"Yeah, sorry about that," Brola apologized. "My Sister just gets real... focused before the match." she did her best to explain but it came out sounding like a very obvious lie in Naruto's ears. "Okay, I've gotta go." she then said hastily rushing to catch up with her sister and their other teammate. "Wish me luck. Not that I'll need it." Brola called back confidently.

Naruto couldn't help but laugh at Brola's confidence. "Good luck." Naruto said.

For the next several minutes Naruto watched the match between the Fire Ferrets, the team that Maki and Brola were a part of, and the Golden Temple Tigerdillos. At the beginning the match seemed to be very one-sided and not in favor of the Fire Ferrets, as they seemed to lose ground quickly to their opponents. At one point of the match Naruto was pulling at his hair nearly tearing it out as he watched Brola and the last member of the Fire Ferrets, a waterbender name Hasook, get knocked over the edge of the ring and into the water below.

Despite the odds being against her Maki managed to keep cool dodging all three of her opponents strikes. Eventually the Tigerdillos grew tired as evident as their strikes started to slow down providing Maki the opportunity to retaliate. Maki first sent a quick blast of fire at the waterbender of the opposing team knocking him out with that single hit. Following that Maki let loose a barrage of fire attacks at her two opponents which eventually resulted in the firebender Tigerdillo being blasted out of the ring.

Finally, it came down to Maki and the earthbender Tigerdillo the two trading blows that resulted in a cloud of dust being thrown up because of the earth disks that were destroyed by Maki's fire blasts. Through the dust Maki got in a hit that sent earthbender all the way to edge of his side of the ring. The earthbender barely recovered and managed to raise an earth disk when Maki was already on him hitting him with a single fire blast that knocked him over the edge.

The crowd erupted into cheers at the victory of the Fire Ferrets, Maki even taking a moment to appreciate the cheers she was receiving. Naruto got swept up in the excitement of the Fire Ferrets victory as they embraced each other in their exhilaration. Soon enough Brola rejoined him in the locker room whooping in excitement. "Woohoo, yes!" she shouted loudly. "One more win and we're in the championship tournament." she stated before catching her breath and calming down. "So, what'd you think Naruto?" The earthbender asked coolly as she took off his helmet. "Brola's got some moves, huh?" she asked him

Naruto took her by the shoulders and started to shake Brola a little roughly. "What did I think? What did I think?" he asked rhetorically. "That was amazing!" The Avatar declared before shoving the black-haired youth, his strength causing her stagger back a few steps.

Naruto quickly stepped forward and caught the earthbender before she ended up walking back all the way across the room. "You guys were awesome!" Naruto said happily slapping Brola on the back and causing her to stagger forward.

"Yeah, awesome." Brola muttered a little dumbfounded at the strength the older bender possessed. Before anything else could be said the duo heard the tail end of an argument that was happening between Maki and Hasook as they drew closer from the arena. Maki was glaring at her teammate but the waterbender was hardly paying any attention to her as he tried to ignore Maki as best he could.

"You did more harm than good out there." she told her teammate angrily. "You almost cost us the match." she said heatedly.

"We won, didn't we?" Hasook retorted finally getting tired of Maki's pestering.

"Barely." Maki replied shortly.

Hasook glared at Maki "Get off my case, bitch." The waterbender said with a growl as he threw his helmet to the floor before walking off.

"Useless." Maki muttered glaring at her retreating teammate, but instead of chasing after him the firebender decided to take off the last of her equipment.

Having seen the entire confrontation Naruto walked up to Maki with a small encouraging smile on his face as he tried to lift his spirits. "You guys were incredible out there. Especially you, Mrs. Hat Trick." he complimented him good naturedly.

"Oh, you're still here?" Maki said disinterestedly as she didn't even bother to look up at Naruto.

Naruto of course frowned at Maki's attitude. "Oh, you're still a brat?" he returned before he returned his attention back to Brola. "Anyway." Naruto began as he perked up a bit. "I've been immersed in bending my entire life but I never learned how to move like that. It's like there's a whole new style here. Think you could show me a few tricks?" he asked hopefully. He really would like to incorporate some of that into his already altered Bending abilities

Brola responded instantly more than happy for any excuse that allowed her to spend more time with Naruto. "Absolutely." she stated.

Hearing her sister's response Mako couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. "Right now? Come on Brola." she huffed.

"Just ignore her." Brola told Naruto waving her sister off.

"Gladly." Naruto replied with a foxy grin.

Brola almost found herself laughing at Naruto's response, but the look directed at her from Mako stifled said laughter. "Yeah," she began once she was sure she wouldn't start laughing. "I could show you the basics. I'm just not sure how my earthbending would translate to your waterbending. But we'll figure it out." she promised thoughtfully.

"Won't be a problem, I'm actually an Earthbender." Naruto responded to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to assume. Its that, since just figuring with your water tribe getup that you were a water tribe guy." Brola said confused.

"No your right, I'm a Waterbender and a Firebender." Naruto said happily.

"Hmm, I'm very confused right now." Brola said honestly.

Maki gave a deep sigh "You're the Avatar and I'm an idiot." The other girl said.

"You know something, both are surprisingly true." Naruto said with a nod. After the attitude, he had been getting from Maki since they met Naruto was happy to get even minimalist shots in at her expense.

Brola's face changed from one exaggerated expression to another as her gaze shifted between her sister and Naruto repeatedly. "No… way." Brola struggled to get out before pointing at Naruto. "The Avatar!" she shouted in surprise.

The quartet moved to the gym where Brola showed Naruto the basics of the style she used during her pro-bending matches. Naruto had to adjust his own style a bit, but he proved how talented he was at bending when he quickly picked up what Brola was showing him.

"Alright nice job Naruto." Brola praised wiping away a bead of sweat from her brow. "You're a natural at this." she praised him. "At this rate we could make you a real pro-bender in no time." Brola added in thought as she looked at him with a wide grin.

"You think?" Naruto asked hopefully, the smile he wore stretching wider when Brola nodded her head in confirmation.

"Not bad." Maki added in offhandedly.

Naruto deflated a bit at Maki's compliment. "What's it' take to impress this chick?" he muttered.

Maki put her hands in the air "What I said not bad." she said in defense. Naruto smirked before he rolled his eyes before shaking his head exasperatedly. Maki gave a sigh "You know what, it's getting late. I think I'm gonna turn in. You kids have fun." she told them as she began to walk away, pausing just long enough to look back at Naruto, "Nice to meet you Avatar Naruto." she said with some sincerity in her voice.

"Yeah, been a real pleasure." Naruto said in response.

Maki ignored the sarcasm in the mans voice as she addressed her sister one last time before she left the room. "See you upstairs sis." she said tiredly

"Upstairs? You guys live here?" Naruto asked curiously once he registered what Maki had said.

"Yup. In the attic." Brola replied. "It's nothing fancy, but we have some great views." she told him before shaking the subject. "So, back to bending, why don't we throw that combo one more time?" The earthbender suggested.


Later that night Naruto had returned to Air Temple Island after finishing his impromptu training session with Brola. The young bender was being careful as he made his way home not wanting to be caught by the White Lotus sentries, or worse by Tenzin himself.


The next night Naruto managed to sneak his way into the pro-bending arena once more. Walking into the locker room he expected his new friends to either be excited and eager or tense and nervous. What he didn't expect was to see Maki and Brola in sullen moods.

"I didn't miss your match, did I?" Naruto asked as he walked up to the siblings. "You guys look like you lost already." he pointed out.

"We might as well have." Brola replied depressingly.

"Hasook's a no-good no-show!" Maki growled out angrily.

The referee stuck his head into the locker room and addressed the members of the Fire Ferrets. "You have two minutes to come out ready to play or you're disqualified." He informed them before waiting somewhat impatiently for their response.

"Well, there goes our shot at the tournament... and the winnings." Maki muttered resignedly.

"Can't you ask one of those guys to fill in?" Naruto suggested pointing toward a couple of players who were in the process of taking off their equipment.

Brola though had to shoot his suggestion down. "Nah, the rules say you can only compete on one team." she informed him.

"Well then what about me?" Naruto proposed to the siblings, "I do have to admit that I'm a top-notch waterbender, if I do say so myself." he told them optimistically.

Brola looked at Naruto skeptically "But, you're the Avatar." she pointed out obviously. "Isn't that cheating?" she asked Naruto.

Naruto just smiled reassuringly. "It isn't cheating if I only do Waterbending." he claimed.

Maki thought it over for a second before outright refusing. "No way." she decided. "I'd rather forfeit than look like a fool out there." The firebender told him.

The smile that Naruto wore turned into a frown as he glared lightly at Maki, "Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence." he muttered.

"Times up. You in or out?" The referee asked them.

"We're in." Naruto answered quickly.

"We are?" Maki said confused.

"Yes!" Brola agreed while pumping her fists.

Maki switched her gaze between Naruto and Brola as they made their way to the lockers so that Naruto could suit up. "Hey, I didn't agree to this." she argued.

"No, you did." Naruto replied with a fox like grin. "Just now." he said with a laugh a bit before addressing Maki "You can thank me later." he told Maki.

"This guy is crazy." Maki muttered to herself.

Naruto glanced back at Maki, having heard her muttering, before returning his attention back to Brola who was explaining how to put the suit on. "I think it's more like headstrong and determined." Naruto argued looking back at Maki with a smile. "But crazy works." he said with a grin as he finished putting the suit on as he was told.

Upon exiting Naruto found himself grinning as he waved to the crowd. Unfortunately, the bell had no sooner finished ringing before Naruto performed a foul by sending the opposing waterbender over the side of the ring. Things didn't improve from there for the Fire Ferrets as Naruto performed another foul by stepping over the line sending him into the third zone of the ring in just the first few minutes of the game.

It all came to a head when the members of the opposing team, The Platypus Bears, started to target Naruto able to stay free from the attacks, it was only a matter of time before they got to him. After suffering under a barrage of water and fire attacks Naruto let out a growl before earthbending a couple of earth disks to act as a shield for him to block the attacks; much to the shock of everyone in the arena.

Naruto cringed when the broadcaster announced his status as the Avatar over the radio. 'Maybe Tenzin didn't hear it.' He mentally reasoned with himself. 'I mean what are the odds that the old man would choose tonight to listen to a pro-bending match?' Naruto questioned. A few minutes later Naruto wondered if he jinxed himself when he spotted his teacher waiting for him after he had fell into the drink.

They of course got into a argument that since air symbolized freedom he need to have certain freedoms, Pro-Bending being one of them. As Tenzin walked away Naruto called out to him, "You're not going to stay and watch the rest of the match?" Naruto asked his teacher, meeting his gaze with the man as the master airbender was leaving.

"No," Tenzin said turning to face his protégé with a displeased look on his face. "Before you got off on a technicality, but now you are flagrantly disobeying my orders. You were supposed to commit yourself to training, but ended up in this folly but after tonight I will make sure you don't leave the island ever again." he told him sternly.

Naruto frowned at his father. "That's exactly why I should be here." Naruto told his father. "How am I ever going to master airbending if I feel the constant restrictions with nothing to focus on but my inability to airbend as I should be able to do. I need something that can help me unwind, besides having the sentinels throwing fireballs at me." he said.

Tenzin almost smiled at Naruto last remark. "And you think this drivel will help?" Tenzin questioned him.

Naruto looked back towards the playing field with a smile spreading wide across his face. "Definitely." Naruto answered.

Naruto jumped and landed back on the pad and the fight was on once again, but this time it was gave a snort, but then heard a different announcement causing him to turn back around. Tenzin was a bit stunned to see Naruto easily rotating around the attacks aimed for him just like an airbender would, "How about that." He muttered. Tenzin continued to watch the opposing team run out of gas and the Fire Ferrets capitalized on this and won the match. "WOOHOO!" Tenzin cheered, then clear his throat and promptly left.


Later at Air temple island


Tenzin stood in front of Naruto with a smile on his face "I am sorry for what I said earlier. It seems that Pro-Bending was more of use to you then keeping you cooped up then I originally thought. I will allow you to continue to play the sport if you dedicate just a bit more to your teachings, although you don't really need to since you learn so fast as it is." Tenzin said.

Naruto gave a bow, "I will, Master." he said to the older man.
