What if Naruto was the Avatar of the Gods and Got Harem? (NarutoxAvatarLA) (( Part 1 ))

hey everybody welcome on our channel in this video we are going to see what if Naruto was the avator of the Gods and got heram part one huge shout out to Neons and jetsu for this story if you are new on the channel don't forget to subscribe our Channel and like the video too so without wasting any more time let's start the story immortality is a funny thing some might think it a gift from the gods themselves wouldn't it be wonderful to live forever to never age never die would not one call that a blessing ha more like a cur for what else can this be to watch your friends grow old while you yourself remain young letting them move on with their lives start families of their own grow old to stand there helpless as they wither and die as you lay those flowers upon each their graves knowing knowing you were powerless to defeat time itself the one enemy even I could not hope to defeat but I digress I'm sure you're wondering who I am I have seen and done much in my time and I'm not necessarily proud of it all I have helped nations rise and fall civilizations have Crum in less than an hour at my hand fought the war to end all wars witnessed the end of the Shinobi traveled to distant lands I have loved and I have lost outliving each and every one of my wives and children helpless to do anything but weep thy Tales are many and my exploits great I have carved my name into the elemental Nations as they were once known a h hundredfold and still I am unsatisfied I am the last of the Dying Breed doomed to reincarnate time and time again until I fufilled my purpose I cannot age but I can die if one wishes to know the pain of a spear through their heart or the painful end of decapitation you need only ask me my deaths are many my lives seemingly infinite now as this Century old war rages in this land once again I feel compelled to act if not for myself then for the needs of others I swear I such a masochist always throwing myself into the fire for others what irony immortality is indeed a funny and fickle thing AED folks which is how I come to find myself here in this distant place in the oddest of situations my name is uzamaki nuto avator of the Gods and this is my story wet nuto was not a fan of water in general oh he drank the stuff of course even swam whenever the whim struck him but he did not by any means enjoy being doused from head to toe especially not this early in the morning certainly not when he' elected to accompany two rambunctious children out here in pursuit of fish it didn't help when one of said children didn't want his help but their grandmother had been unusually adamant this morning so here he was the trib's last remaining man babysitting honestly he was getting too old for this he might be physically trapped at the age of 16 yet that didn't make it any less ridiculous these people had taken him in offered him food and shelter starvation was one of the worst ways to off himself not to mention Furs when there were virtually none to be found perhaps that was why he stayed he felt he owed these people and by definition their children including much to their occasional consternation as well as his own Saka and qara the moment ago go he'd been laughing when she'd accidentally doused her brother with water in an attempt to catch a fish then she had gone and gotten him wet now Naruto was no stranger to the cold but he was not enjoying the sensation not in the least his sole satisfaction was that he managed to catch said fish before it could Escape back into the seat he made for quite a sight his crystal blue eyes shadowed by spping wet bangs his lips quirked downward in a slight frown gloved Mitten clenching tight their hard earned dinner theara sorry oh you will be Naruto grinned and shook himself like a wet dog spattering her with droplets take this pay his grin grew another inch one good turn deserves another o he nimbly dodged aside when she flung a small wave at him in retaliation thus dousing Saka even further the small torrent violently tore the boy's spear from his grasp just before he could successfully skewer his first fish sending his precious weapon arsing end over end before finally sinking to the water below within seconds it was gone plummeting to the depths and out of sight a small Cry of surprise left his lips that gobs aak expression was simply too good to pass up both teens burst into laughter will the two of you please stop playing your little water games they're not games Saka qara admonished there right right an ancient art indigenous to our tribe Nudo began to tune their bickering out as the canoe drifted through the ice pack Southern water tribe or not the girl had a remarkable amount of spirit admirable she would have made a fine Shinobi back in the elemental Nations the whole bending con concept was entirely Beyond him but that didn't mean he was lacking an understanding these people utilized their Kai in the same way he wielded chakra bending wasn't all that uncommon neither was it rare either he'd been utterly Amazed by the sheer Ingenuity of some Benders when he'd first come here perhaps amazed hadn't been quite the right word dazzled perhaps his first visit since his arrival a century before had been to the Fire Nation he' marveled at their destructive art of The Inferno reminding him so much of the AA with their self-righteous arrogance then the Earth Kingdom with their grand yet stoic Simplicity and the reclusive yet light heared air Nomads he'd spent many months creating new Jutsu just by witnessing their uncanny manipulation of air currents finally it was to the water tribe which he' found himself drawn the war had broken out shortly thereafter he'd been in the process of evacuating civilians When the Fire Nation killed him it had taken an entire Armada and nearly a thousand men to do the deed he'd only been reborn about a handful of years ago in the same place he perished cold naked alone the up reincarnation was a [ __ ] and a half and apparently he wasn't the only one trapped in this wretched cycle of rebirth there was this supposed figure the avator a master of all four elements May in to preserve peace between the four nations if so then where the devil was he Naruto had never met the man but anyone doomed to be reborn over and over again had to be one hell of a cynic he only died a handful of times and each time had been more painful than the last if the avator had gone through the same thing then he might meet a man surely the man hadn't just been hiding out for the last century had he no of course not no one was that much of a coward not even him nevertheless a certain degree of caution had to be exercised whenever utilizing his own abilities couldn't have everyone thinking he was the avater now could he even water walking as he was doing now drew a fair amount of attention from those not acquainted with it if he were to bust out his D Jutsu or any of the techniques he'd gained from absorbing the juui during in the war he'd probably have half the nation trying to kiss his feet or worse if the Fire Nation found out not that all of them were bad there was that iro fellow but regardless he wasn't exactly eager to be hunted down again he might not be an avator of the elements but he was certainly an avator of something else look out the blonde jerked his head upwards drawn from his Rey just in time to witness the inexplicable for all intensive purposes appeared to be an iceberg rising from the depths of the ocean in their path and they were hurling towards it a subtle exertion of Shinra tensei prevented Saka and qara from dashing their knew against this great Glacier but only just they were still flung from the boat before he could think to stop them sent sprawling head over heels in a hilarious tumble of arms and legs you kids okay theara mumbled something sakk exclamation was a great deal less reserved what's that arudo eyed it weily this Frozen sphere that stood before them was that a kid in there unthinking he chopped down hard Pia the icy cage split and twined before the Savage chop releasing a great geyser of steam and light did he Dimension light scarce had his gloved hand touched the Eerie orb than a beam of light burst into existence hurdling upward and into the heavens a frightening synic boom shook their surroundings shattering The Fragile canoe shattering beneath a sudden onslaught of air and sound Theo hissed not out of fear or awe or even his own sense of self-preservation but the knowledge that anyone for miles around would be able to see this anyone including any Fire Nation vessels oh crap meanwhile leagues away Prince Zuko saw and how could he not rocketing into the heavens like an arrow loosed from a bow the great pillar of light dominated his vision demanding his awe his attention his everything he could feel it calling out to him like a Clarion call The Return of his honor merely a few miles to the north a single thought dominated his mind turning his scarred face intent with Fury it did not matter to him when it cut off abruptly he already knew his heading knew what did await him there not just the fight of his life but the chance to finally at long last return home at long last I found him that which is father grandfather and even his great-grandfather had been unable to find the avator but the brisk stride he stalked past his guards and into the bowels of the ship dutifully ignoring his uncle when he asked to join him for tea Zuko did not have time for tea not when his Destiny awaited perhaps had he lingered he might have noticed io's light smile in passing might have heard his words but as it stood Zuko did not listen instead he stormed into the cabin and issued a fateful order that would forever reshape his life in ways he had yet to foresee unknowing of this this he still gave the order Elsman head for the light nuto what are you doing exclaimed Saka as the blonde extricated his palm from what had mere moments before been a sphere of ice no longer the second that beam of light had gone up the former Shinobi had all but attacked the sphere shredding it to pieces with his bare hands until the light finally dissipated now that it had he'd slowed his assault theara could see that his gloves were gone burned Away by the intensities of his strikes reduced now to little more than Rags wrapping his hands letting him out the blonde shook his still numbed hands in a vain effort to warm them ain't that obvious ARA it looks like we've been beaten to the punch both boys turned their attention to the melted Glacier now aware of qara cradling its occupant laying there amidst the ice and snow his body still glowing ever so slightly was a boy but not just any boy an Airbender the last air bender yes that was the day everything changed the day we uncovered the avator I knew at once that this boy was him the avater and how could I not I saw it a glance the endless power trapped within him just as I knew he was most likely the last of the Airbenders many things became clear to me that day Chief amongst them that this avater of the elements only retained the knowledge of his former lives in his avater State he was just a 12-year-old boy trapped within an iceberg for nearly an entire Century he did not have all the answers did not hold the knowledge I sought all these years for not but I knew this avater this boy would do great things to this day I know not how I simply knew nothing escapes These Eyes why are you staring at me this from an the boy who unbeknownst to everyone else was the avator narudo stubbornly stifled the urge to reveal that on would so when he was ready or so he hoped he was hesitant to pin his Trust on an untested youth but hadn't he been the same once theum was a coward merely for safeguarding his secret would imply that Naruto too was one in the same unwilling to risk death by exposing himself to the world with his Godlike powers and prowess but he did not hide his powers out of cowardice it was wisdom that stayed his hand wielding that much power letting the world know what you were only made you that much more of a Target perhaps Ang was of a similar mind perhaps not in a way they were almost alike regardless it wasn't for nuto to judge oh nothing nevertheless he allowed a small smile to creep up on his lips it's just my first time meeting the avator his words were soft spoken only for the two of them and yet they still elicited the most startling reaction in the young Airbender for a brief moment the young boy actually looked afraid said fear was just as swiftly replaced by sorrow the resigned sort that suggested he'd known this was coming all along most curious the avator of the Gods mused to himself how did you no Naro finished with the slightest of size it wasn't that difficult I've studied this nation's history if that flash of power before didn't give you away then the marking certainly did honestly I'd expected you to be a little taller though older too but then again I guess cryogenically freezing yourself for a hundred years is one who L way to ease out the wrinkles no he allowed his gaze to slip Bast the baffled boy toward his young Wards observing Saka and qara with their tribe they'll probably figure it out sooner rather than later so are you going to tell them or should I bong faltered momentarily uncertain of what to say just who was this strange Youth and why did he seem so familiar somehow he hadn't said a word on the ride back to the tribe courtesy of app and now suddenly it was as if the blonde could read his very thoughts what was going on here I there's no rush ironically Naruto felt his heart go out to the boy with these words you can tell them when you're ready for all his Fain cheer and supposed legendary status aing was little more than that a child but there was more to it than being young and untested an reminded him of well himself he'd been the same way at first not wanting anything to do with these incredible Powers bestowed upon him in the beginning he had tried and failed to live a normal life looking back it was rather obvious why he had failed one simply did not absorb the ji into oneself and expect to lead in existence anything short of extraordinary at first there had been worship His comrades had respected him women had practially fallen over another to have his children and so on for a terribly long time he had been reluctant to assume his new role he didn't want anything to do with these supposed Fang girls or their elk he only had eyes for a certain hukah Tada their confession had never been far from his mind but there hadn't been any time to discuss it what with akitsuki lurking about and then the war and Madara by the time everything ended and the juui was harmlessly or so he thought made one with his soul nearly a year had passed more than enough time for him to think on her words and when things finally settled down finally able to call her out on it the rest well as they say is history time had flown by so swiftly afterward now more than ever he wished he could go back and revisit those first few years cherish them before he elied anything was wrong before it became apparent that he wasn't changing wasn't aging but he'd been so CAU up in their relationship and then the twins came along and still he pushed it off dismissing it as nothing lie after lie became increasingly apparent he was simply aging well it was his jeans yes that had to be it looking back he'd been far too naive reluctant that reluctance had nearly been the end of him everyone saw him as a God in human form at the time a guardian meant to watch over the Shinobi people for all time not as the hokagay but something more as an avator of the Gods to this day nuto wasn't sure who had coined that Erie moniker but for whatever reason it had stuck so that was what he became eventually trading his dream to become hok for this newfound role in status and for a while things were working out swimmingly SAS K had returned to the Village his promise with sakur and is satisfied and he had a budding family in hanada as hokagay sunade was able to help him keep the peace and awkward as he might be he'd done a good job of keeping the other nations in line so he wasn't aging big deal a mere fly in the ointment a simple henge kept anyone from realizing the truth and it wasn't as though he'd been lying to anyone with his Newfound Powers he'd slowly begun to assume his new responsibilities do peace was flourishing the people were happy and then as suddenly as the peace had begun everything went to hell you're not exactly normal yourself arudo blinked unexpectedly drawn from his pained Ry by angk words he was momentarily amused to find the boy peering up at him with what was the word again compassion empathy whatever the case angk attention was enough to momentarily banish the Demons of his long and lengthy past I'm sorry did you say something when next Naruto spoke it was not the sorrow shenobi of the elemental Nations but the stoic avator of the Gods granted taking on the roll ground into it over time learning to respect the need for secrecy adopting the title even now it was all just a way of distancing himself from the pain he still felt in the depths of his heart whereas angk outlook on life was probably a great deal cheerier than his own in any case perhaps he should mirror that same ity I said The Last Airbender continued you're not so different yourself oh that got nunk attention this boy was more than he appeared intrigued he turned his sapic gaze toward the monk to be once more and what makes you say that on quashing the pain he felt within his heart he forced a small smile back to his face and awaited the avork answer oh what he wouldn't give for kurama's voice in his head right about now it's your eyes the boy seemed to squirm beneath his gaze they seem old somehow they'd be right Naro found himself biting back laughter for the first time since his last death if I had to guess I'd say they 500 give or take a century or two what it's just a guess the blonde Shrugged no need to freak out time sort of loses its meaning when you've lived as long as I have still freezing yourself an interesting trick I think I'll have to try that myself someday well I wouldn't recommended so you're really an airbender a nuto asked abruptly B grinned glad for the change in topic sham can you show me a ah bong chose that precise moment to sneeze the subsequent expulsion of air sent him rocketing nearly 10 ft into the air that little spectacle earned the attention of the entire tribe not to mention a certain someone before he descended with Grace Landing almost effortlessly upon appa's back ending his little air trick with a graceful bow as if to Echo his partner's effort the sky bison Lowa SE a happy snort not bad huh impressive nuto admitted clapping as the Bender clam down from his Mount you've got a lot of skill for someone so young hey thanks but can you do this now it was angk turn to B Because scarce had nuto spoken than the last airbender found himself witnessed to the inexplicable Naruto in the time it had taken to finish that sentence had levitated his body up off the ground and into the air he was hovering without a glider he simply hung there suspended in midair what's more he didn't seem to be expending any visible effort at all but it wasn't as though he were flying in actuality on thought thought if he could then why W he wahaha then as if to shatter that very thought the former jii shed his fur coat and erupted upward his body little more than a streak of blue and black colors as he tore into the skies what the heck Saka scrubbed at his eyes with both hands as though the action could somehow wipe away what he was seeing as Naro actually flying qara practically squealed in delight at the sight her earlier reservation forgotten in the wake of this discovery for indeed the blonde was doing just that navigating the air using his own Shakra to hold hoist him Aloft wrapping himself in it and pushing down against the ground simultaneously it was no means an easy feat only one with a strong wind Affinity could do such a thing and even then Naruto himself had spent nearly an entire decade mastering the technique it was not as a certain man might have said a move for beginners wow so you're an airbender too I am not a bender Narito denied Al lighting soundlessly beside qara my situation is unique like how like he would have said more had not something brightened the Skies over their heads blue eyes bulged incoming that was all they heard before a massive ball of fire lit the Horizon an barely saw the Fire Nation vessel from whence it came before it engulf their position but where had this vessel come from and how had they found them so swiftly too late there was no longer any time for thought the projectile ripped into the water tribe and sent everything flying the villagers were only just able to escape the blast radius thanks to their relative distance of the explosion qara wasn't so lucky the detonation flung her and Saka away sending both brother and sister sprawling in the snow in that instant nuto shouted something from up AES their heads exactly what the young avater knew not only that the Flames abruptly vanished disintegrating into harmless steam as he looked on asholes aruto landed in a roaring snarl of fire spitting curses not meant for the ears of young children some of those very words caused qara to flush but the sight of him stole any sentiment of laughter away black Flames rifled off and around his body and it seemed as though his eyes were bleeding impossible to tell whatever the case may be she had only an instant to recognize any of this before unconsciousness took her before the blonde yirong behind him just in time for the ramp of the enemy vessel to lower stay behind me was the last thing she heard seven firebenders marched down the ramp in a Finks and at their head a younger man clearly their leader where are you hiding him the prince demanded to know scowling he grabbed hold of Kara's grandmother shaking her cow for emphasis he be about this age master of all elements I know he's here none dared speak faced with this refusal Zuko became incensed if you don't reveal him I'll burn this entire Village to the ground dong was just about to open his mouth ready to reveal himself for the sake of these people when the matter assu the blonde muttered that word and the firebenders burned their plated armor erupting in thick tongues of dark Fury as she looked on of the six guards that had accompan the prince only one managed to evade the worst of the blaze besides him rolling a aside and out of Harm's Way Naruto simply exhaled and that hapless fool ceased to exist his body evaporating before a massive Fireball all his own bah Firebender why does everyone think that Naruto groaned slapping a flaming Palm to his forehead it's not like IO he blinked finally noticing the Flames of his chakra creeping around him the still smoldering bodies around the laugh of them woops forgot about that chakra tends to get a little out of whack when I'm pissed off you know ah but I digress the wave of the hand and the Flames Abad somewhat forming a shimmering Aura of black and Crimson around his form the noise that followed would be impossible to do justice to using simple anamod Peak sound effects it was not quite a Voom a simple vah doesn't suffice either but these are about the closest approximations for Prince Zuko the sound equated to One Singular emotion fear Naruto whispered how many people can appac carry about 10 the avator found himself replying it'll have to do try to get out of here I'll buy you some time what are you Whispering about like an iron trap nutk gaze locked onto the prince's own the sheer intesity of his stare the sudden ice in his expression was enough to silence the entire tribe nothing moved nothing at all and then he spoke voice black as pitch Eyes Cold as the coldest winter a sharp contrast to the Flames boiling around his body these people are precious to me the words were little more than a dry hiss if a knife could talk this was what it would sound like any attack on them is an attack on myself and I don't take very kindly to being set upon by the likes of Fire Nation thugs like YF he pointed one long finger at the proud Prince I suggest you get back on your boat and before you get yourself hurt boy do you have any idea who you're speaking to Zuko's scarred eye twitched in anger and outrage I could ask you the same thing nark grin grew another inch exposing deadly canine teeth but since you seem to think I'm a Firebender let's play a little game he stepped forward reached out towards the bulk of their vessel and made a pulping motion with his right hand if I win I get to peel your ship like a banana and set you a drift for a few days you win and I'll give you the avator tell me my dear Prince are you at all familiar with the termin IAI but I he what Zuko spluttered how dare you suggest such a thing you traitor nuto snucker ARA it seems I've struck an old wound wouldn't have anything to do with that Mark now would Zuko let loose an emotionally toiled scream and lunged fists of Blaze I'll kill you oh on Naruto roared a heartbeat before the prince pounced upon him and then he no longer had any time to worry about anyone other than himself fighting at full strength was one thing but to actively restrain himself from using his full potential against such a lesser opponent soon proved far more difficult or not nuto laughed as Zuko's fist swung harmlessly over his head too wide not narrow enough the blast of fire that came with the strike was batted aside so effortlessly it may as well not have existed at all was this what amounted to T Jutsu these days pitiful absurd he clapped his hands and flung them outward that easy effortless gust of wind chakra was all it took to keep the boy off balance and suly off his back he simply couldn't make any progress against the headwind ha he scolded what's wrong Zuko your great-grandfather was better than this the prince gnarled utterly unaware of the Bison Rising behind him hide me like a man avator Theo scoffed and spat a small Fireball look the blonde drawled as he battled the boy backwards how many times do I have to tell you I'm not the avator his words ended in a resounding whoosh as he summoned forth a great geyser of water from deep within his stomach spewing the violent wave forward extinguishing the fiery blast and bowling the prince Head Over Heels but the young Firebender simply would not go down scarce had he Fallen then he was up again flinging himself at the former genui in Furious fashion stop lying he snarled between blows only the avater could manipulate the elements like that Theo's dead pan was barely concealed oh for the love of fine you want me to fight like a fire Bender Naruto Shrugged and it suddenly seemed that a great weight had been lifted from him a tremendous effort he no longer had to sustain then I'll fight like a Firebender with a laugh he thundered forward nearly clotheslining the poor Prince what did you do Zuko hissed Panic edging into his voice as he skittered backwards nunk gleeful expression certainly didn't help any I decided to fight you seriously Papa angk voice seemed to come from a great distance yip yip theara managed to open her eyes but the world wouldn't stay still and stop shaking the ringing in her ears wouldn't stop either sitting up was not as hard as she expected but a loud rustling broke through the ringing of her rars piles of snow subtle shifted thrown off not by her meager arms but by the Blazing heat of the atmosph here itself the most casual application of the combatant strength she could feel the rest of their trib stirring nervously around her small as it was they all fight on appa's back the easier to be fielded to safety as she stepped slowly back into the land of Consciousness she gradually became aware of a rhythmic crashing noise the Falls of a sprinting giant her Kai sense was the last to return and with that to AER she was finally able to pinpoint the sources of the noise only a few yards belows Prince Zuko was still furiously attacking nuto relentlessly hammering down blows on the blond's guard which stubbornly held that in and of itself the fusion of her friend's refined martial arts skill the product of Decades of dedicated training and his own monstrous natural power gave him an unbelievably quick fluid and adaptable defense and when he moved onto the attack each strike was care y calculated for maximum effect almost impossible to follow and devastating when it landed it was like watching a river flow not a single movement was wasted and Zuko was overwhelmed the younger boy didn't stand a chance when he tried to retreat the blonde cut him off when he sought to strike and attack Naruto simply absorbed all his blows and while the occasional fist would slip through he didn't seem to much care for the burns always Naruto was there pressing pressing pressing the offensive with a single-minded ferocity bordering on downright Primal instinct abruptly as their bout began it was over Zuko toppled backwards from a fireball to the chest his armor shattering stomach now badly burned nuto bounded after him swiped him off his feet with a single hand ready to deal the final blow Zuko gazed back at him golden eyes defiant ready to accept whatever fate might be his finish it avador before Katara could think to say anything lest she try to stop him the blonde struck down hard not with his fist but with his head the final blow not dealing death yet in The Prince and sense it all the same he rose stily after that Naruto did extra Chong what looked like a small brush and ink from his coat pocket he promptly set to work on Zuko's face seconds thereafter his fine brush Strokes growing maddened and erratic as he hastened to complete his work before the proud Prince stirred whatever he was riding qara couldn't see it but it seemed to be sending socket into a fit of hysterical laughter then incredibly Naruto spoke not to Zuko but to the ship itself or perhaps he spoke to the portly figure sitting upon its boow iro he shouted I let your nephew live this time tell him he needs to be stronger to face me speaking of which you may want to hang on with that he pointed hand toward the ship then he did something inexplicable and the blink of an eye without any discernible motion on his part he destroyed the vessel's engines warped its Hull and bodly wrenched the ice cutter onto land with a not so subtle application of Shinra tensei another leap sent the blonde soaring into the air and onto appa's saddle when asked if he was all right the whiskered Warrior merely grunted I've had enough excitement for One Day At first I couldn't believe it even now the thought still leaves me reeling sometimes all the air Benders gone he liated put the sword burn at the torch you get the picture at ons behest we gone to visit the southern air Temple expecting to find what exactly I didn't much seem the point at the time but who was I to deny his request we'd already escaped from the Fire Nation drawing them away from qatar's family and tribe at the risk of our own skin somehow along the way qara developed a desire to travel to the North Pole and master waterbending alongside on and of course Saka decided to come as well I was just along for the ride who was I to say where they could and could not go and On's shoes wouldn't I do the same would I not jump at the chance to see if all my old friends were still alive so away we went their expectations High mine remained low but we found there was only ruin old bones battered armor shredded garments and shattered skulls an nearly lost himself and who could blame him my own rage for the fire nation grew tenfold that day but what could I do even I can't bring back someone who's been dead for more than a century I'd just be breathing life back into gatosk bones without his flesh and organs he wouldn't last more than a few seconds at the most and that's being generous it broke my heart to tell Ang this that despite all my power the monks were simply too Fair gone I'll never forget that look of heartbreak on his face some avator of the Gods I am still my heart goes out to these kids qara said that we're angk family now oddly enough I find myself agreeing with her and by the gods if anyone tries to lay a hand on my family I will break them a simple task considering we only had zuu to worry about at the time Fe that little flame was no threat to myself wrong truly I had no fears when we arrived on the aisle of Kashi indeed one could even say I had become complacent it never once occurred to me that someone else might join in the hunt for us SU arudo stubbornly resisted the urge to open his eyes refusing to turn his head and peer over his shoulder as Ang popped up behind him thank the gods APPA could fly himself instead of giving into his own curiosity he forced his mind to focus on the task at hand not now on he chided I'm trying to concentrate he was sitting in a meditative position and concentrating on his outstretched right hand after a few seconds what looked like blue kaidong began to swirl around his palm it began to compress in upon itself as more and more began form and swirl soon enough floating a few inches above his palm was a blue spinning orb he saw nut's eyes focus on the orb and it began to spin even faster and form four white blades spinning with the orb as he watched the orb spin the last air bender could have sworn he heard a low thrumming like something was trying to cut the air itself what in the world is that the orb continued to spin growing larger and larger encompassing his entire Palm until nuto let out his sigh and relaxed letting the orb disappear good he said to himself I've t l gotted it was then that he became aware of everyone's attention qara had paused in stitching Sak's pants to goop at him her mouth forming a small roundo of disbelief Saka looked as though he'd been preparing another one of his Infamous jokes but the sight of the mini Ras and shuriken seemed to have stolen those words away finally he looked at on apparently confused by the boy's bowed head and lack of reaction is something the matter that that that was so cool the sheer force of boy's exaltation nearly knocked the Shinobi off the Bison thankfully he managed to write himself and levitate at the last instant in matter of moments he rejoined them alighting effortlessly upon the sadle once more though looking no less pleased for the effort boy he cried are you trying to knock me off app or something you've got to show me how to do that an would not be dissuaded so easily nunk expression turned somber I can't he replied and even if I could I still wouldn't teach you oh but why not this attack is meant to be used as a last resort and nothing more the blonde countered Eyes hidden beneath his rough and bangs if I were to unleash it on someone say a fire bender for example it would damage them so badly they'd never be able to bend again that is a fate I would wish on no man or woman no matter how vile he cracked an uneasy grin then a vain attempt to lighten the mood hey why the long faces guys I may be a monster but at least I'm on your side you know a Sommer silence followed those words broken only by the wind in their hair ons lack thereof and the passing of the clouds over and under their heads finally someone decided to break it you're not a monster nuto nuto looked up startled to find qark hand on his own latara I appreciate the sentiment but let's be honest here I killed those firebenders back there only sparing the prince on a whim hell I enjoyed the killing do you hear me it felt good if that doesn't make me a monster then I don't know what you not she repeated firmly a monster what's wrong with you Naruto lips parted in reply but her other hand clamped over his mouth before he could speak why would you even think such a thing after all you've said and done for us why Ang is still alive because of you our tribe wasn't destroyed by the Fire Nation Because of You Saka and I are still standing here because of you if protecting those you care for makes you a monster then I'm one too something in those teary blue eyes of hers struck and forestalled him preventing any argument on his part from pressing the issue any further but that nuto relented all right all right he sighed pushing a hand across her head by the gods girl don't start Balling on me now them are you two done fighting theara promptly flushed pulled away and went back to sewing sakk pants we weren't fighting on yeah Saka sighed good-naturedly stop bugging her Airhead you need to give girl space when they do their sewing what does me being a girl have to do with sewing there was a dangerous glint in katara's eye now an accusatory tone that for those who knew her would cause them to duck for cover Saka made the foolish and nearly fatal mistake of pressing the issue simple he replied uncrossing his arms behind his head girls are better at fixing pants than guys and guys are better at hunting and fighting and stuff like that it's just the natural Order of Things Naruto and Ang simultaneously fped they recognized the verbal Gaff but did Saka nope the young Warrior of the water tribe realized his mistake far too late all done with your pants his sister held up the half stitched article of clothing and flung it in his face and look what a great job I did wait I was just kidding I can't wear these Katara please relax Saka where we're going you won't need any pants we're here elephant koi arudo watched with Amusement as his fellow avator rode the giant fish it wasn't until something started to eat those massive koi that he began to worry what if something happened to him he wasn't exactly keen on saving the world by himself and if H died he wouldn't reincarnate for quite some time not to mention he'd be reborn in the Water Tribe and any chance of him learning airbending would go out the window GA a small chuckle fled his lips unbidden as Ang sped away from the gigantic creature running across the water's surface through sheer speed alone before slamming into Saka seconds thereafter in the end his efforts weren't even needed after all what was that thing qara wondered I don't know aruto already knew probably an anagi he stepped back toward the shallows whil Scara went to check on Ang and her now considerably battered brother they're native to these parts after all well inagi or not I'd rather not stick around Saka decided dusting himself off time to hit the ruu what the heck everything happened so swiftly one moment they were standing beneath the trees listening to Saka the next four Shadows leapt from the branches and attacked them in the time that it took nuto to turn his head Saka Katara iang and Momo were all subdued bound and blindfolded thrown down to the Sands at his feet Naruto was spared only because he'd been standing near the beach it gave him just enough time to realize their attackers weren't men as he'd first suspected but women no not even that girls oh Saka is going to be so pissed when he wakes up then the girls turned around to face Naruto it was impossible to distinguish one from the other he realized what with the white makeup that covered their faces entirely those red and black accents around their eyes lending their visages an almost Regal appearance beyond the metal headdress and armored battle dress they wore these strange female warriors looked at him for a long instance before turning to face him as one the combined movement causing their armored dresses to rustle ever so slightly it was alluring in a way to say anything less would belittle their strength despite himself the blonde felt the beginnings of a small smile work its way across his whiskered Visage I don't suppose we could sit down and talk about this over a cup of tea suddenly and without warning one of them attacked naive Naruto simply swung his hand forward and punched with a fifth of his full strength the sheer shock wave of the strike summoning forth a great gust ripping her from her feet and hurtling her across the beach heat sced Softly As She skitted across the sand in a tangle of arms and legs he'd forgotten just how fragile the people of this land could be and we just discussed this like civilized folk he addressed the remaining three hoping to refrain from further violence it was not to be they struck up their fans and moved to encircle him but slowly this time wary of the sudden and unseen burst of power their painted faces betrayed very little perhaps the slightest twinge of concern for their injured kin but nothing more look this is pointless Naruto continued you're just going to end up on the ground like her when the fate of their Ally did not dissuade the remaining three Warriors the avator of the Gods took it upon himself to strike respect into their proud Hearts not with close combat of course even he might find himself at a bit of a disadvantage when holding back and facing three Warriors like this in their native land so that the knuckleheaded ninja did what came best to him he improvised poor flicks of his fingers summoned forth a massive Dragon of water its golden eyes narrow and intent as it took stock of the four girls their fallen comrade having only just reclaimed her footing interesting so these girls were capable of withstanding him at a feeble fifth of his strength one of the Warriors saw fit to give voice to her awe what in the world siruno Jutsu what dragon Jutsu Naruto exhaled softly and abruptly loosed the tentative leash he kept upon his Jutsu with a roar that would have put the anagi to shame it lunged forwards two of the girls weren't Swift enough to evade its watery maw they found themselves Swept Away by The Roaring tide as the Beast impacted upon the beach their bodies were wrenched angrily against the trees Twisted to join the prone forms of his three friends coughing and sputtering as the wall of water receded do down do to go resigning himself to battle the blonde beckoned the remaining huntresses forward come on girls letun get this over with the pair exchanged a hesitant tentative glance clearly they weren't accustomed to fighting someone who could actually fight back certainly not someone of his caliber but they had their Duty and he had his as one they pounced their fans little more than a golden blur he toyed with them for that brief instant not too sh amazed when one actually managed to scratch him with her fan before a solid punch broke through his guard poof both girls bed as their opponent exploded into smoke leaving a harmless log in his wake what manner of sorcery was this where was he where had he gone suuki where did he I don't know caou beneath you their words ended in a frightened cry as a pair of hands burst through the sand latching onto her friend's ankles before either of them could hope to react their owner yanked down hard cyoa startled cry her eyes crunching shut as she prepared to be buried up to her neck those same eyes flew open startled to find that while she had indeed been buried beneath the Sands it was only to her neck it was a rather surreal experience being unable to move anything above ner neck forced to look up at her leader hi I'm all right the girl tried to shrug but failed I think breath down of course shek all right a famir voice chided contrary to popular belief I'm not trying to harm you her companion Whirled around as Naruto emerged from the earth beside them covered in sand without so much as a glance in Suki's Direction he began to stride back toward his bound friends he didn't have even a scratch on him if anything he looked amused by their efforts wait arudo stopped in his tracks his face slowly appearing over his shoulder as he curiously regarded his once Fallen opponent a look of irritation crossed his single eye as it regarded the recovering Warrior behind him her painted face narrow and a rectus of confusion did you want something what did you do to her she demanded to know Naruto laughed and looked away again berett style he admonished with a waggling finger Head Hunter Jutsu she wonk be moving for a while oh he gave an amused grunt as susuki seized him from behind her arms wrapping around his shoulders in a Full Nelson and with surprising strength for someone of her size wrenching him up off his feet you got me he laughed as he fell toppling backwards to the Sands clever girl but but a hiss he opened his mouth and spat expelling a vicious stream of fire in the same instant that his face would have hit the sands a flash of recognition flickered through tsuki's mind just then he'd used air to send one of her friends flying water to take down two more Earth to immobilize caou and now fire could he really be the but that's impossible not for me it isn't nuto never let up in his barrage not once each blast pushed him another inch up into the air and caused the temperature to spike this sudden expulsion of heat forced the Kashi Warrior to loosen her hold upon the Shinobi or be burned allowing him to wrench himself free and let loose a bone juring strike of his own Des susuki lost all semblance of breath as an armored Shin crunched into her equally armored stomach and the later yielded the blow wasn't crippling but it did send her staggering away and give him time to rise time he gladly took Naruto stood amidst the now glassy sand his body still shimmering with heat his hair Rippling and the steam created by his last attack his entire body seemed to Ripple with barely suppressed energy it was like gazing into the Sun's light over long stare at it and you'd only be burned enough he declared youve FR well but that last blows gun it to one Hova bruise I know you're hurting right now and I'd rather you not exacerbate the injury honestly the girl expected her to fling herself at him in spite of her injuries and begin her offense a new imagine his surprise when Suki threw down her fans and fell to a knee I knew it she gasped cluing at her side you're the avator crap he'd been too focused again me why me he asked with surprise I'm nothing special don't lie anger sharpened her tone you use fire earth water and air no other Bender can do that I suppose you wouldn't listen to me if I told you I wasn't a bender sincerity warmed her expression somewhat so toed her misunderstanding look you don't have to be shy about it I can understand if you'd want to keep it a secret but I you don't I'm not Naruto groaned oh for the love of help me out here on mmm pH the boy's words were muffled around his gag Naruto sweat dropped the situation was rapidly unraveling if this continued if T susuki told the other others in her Village everyone would think he was the avater a horrible realization dawned on him one he never wanted to experience again not if he could avoid it D can I have a minute to untie my friends suuki nodded Nudo swiftly did just that un bidding qara and the others in the blink of an eye strategy meeting he hissed now what wrong Naruto qara asked they think I'm the avator that's what Saka adopted a thoughtful expression and that's a problem Theo glared bloody red daggers at him look I've got an idea I object Saka frowned you haven't even heard it yet narudo boy I know you and I know this is a bad idea look Naruto might not be a bender but at this rate everyone will think he is right at everyone's nod he pressed forward well I say let them Naruto immediately opened his mouth to veto that but Saka kept at it before the blond wrong could get a word in edgewise now wait just a minute both of you hear me out right now who is Prince hothead hunting am you or Naruto who does he think is the avator theara Tilted her head she hadn't considered that question until this very moment do you know the answer Naro the young avater was beginning to see where this plan was going and he didn't like it not one bit Naruto was of the same mind it felt like he was stealing the Poor Boy's Thunder that just wasn't his style nor did he enjoying resting the claim to fame away from another for Saka to ask such a thing of him no he couldn't do it it wasn't just his humility he'd worked so hard to keep the Fire Nation from pestering him after his last death and while he was already living a life on the Run he wasn't exactly keen on Advertising his powers I can't believe I'm saying this buaka has a point theara you too it would give H all the Time in the World to focus on his bending the waterbender persisted besides I've seen how much skill you have with the elements even though you're not a bender you could still pass for the avator easily why are you fighting us on this because I don't want to do it Naro argued and you're forgetting about Ang how does he feel about all this three pairs of eyes focused upon the Last Airbender well long what do you think Saka and qara asked almost simultaneously Naruto shook his head rapidly a silent plea for him to say no poor boy he actually flinched does it really matter think of it this way Saka pointed out we know for a fact that Naruto can handle almost anything the Fire Nation throws at him we all know you're strong on but if something happened to you well I don't know what we do the avator might be reborn but there's only one you now that we have nuto we actually have an option and while he is the avator just think how much free time you'd have it' be even easier to master the elements the avator seemed to consider this burito growled deep and low in his throat horrible idea terrible idea I think it's a Winner sakur Affirmed says the boy who was beaten by a girl Naruto hissed that was a fluke B py do you want to say save the world or not that's low B groaned you guys I have a bad feeling about this but if it helps with my training letun do it Saka turned to his sister I would like to State for the record that those words did not come out of my mouth nuto was still muttering to himself when he stalked back to tsuki every fiber of his being railed against this but he could see the need for it as much as he might Lo it sometimes choices like this had be made regardless of whether he liked them or not with this in mind he stealed himself to sprak but what was all that about she asked just a discussion of how long we intend to stay the blonde lied still you'd best gather your elders I have a message for them and what might that be a delicate brow quirked in questioning tell them but the avator has returned the word traveled like wildfire the avator had returned and he was upon Kashi one would think it ironic that hearsay could move so swiftly but it did Word of Mouth passing from a young girl to that of a fisherman on the docks of Kashi from said fisherman to that of an earth Kingdom Traer work then a fire nation cook until it long last those words reached the ears of a certain Prince for a moment said Firebender could barely believe his luck here he had sat down to dinner resolved to another sleepless night what Zuko lurched up from the dinner table the steaming salmon on his plate now forgotten the avator is on Kashi Island foolish words spoken in anger and haste Helmsman changed course at once unbeknownst to him and became aware of that location as well one week later nuto grunted as he parried his opponent's blow using the same leverage against her to negate the force of her throw she struggled back trying to use his own strength against him but his stance proved simply too solid for her to breach likewise she proved to fluid to grasp without serious effort on his part effort he wasn't whing to expend just yet they stood there a long moment staring one another down refusing to yield to give ground to back down to yield finally at an unseen command they broke apart their stance is getting better the Shinobi found himself commending suuki I wish you'd stop holding back she sighed straightening and closing her fan hey if I did that it wouldn't be any fun was it just his imagination or was that a flush beneath the facient he stood in a radically altered version of the Kashi battle dress contoured to fit his male physique minus the white facient of course tradition or na he simply refused to go through that again it had been hilarious to see Saka wearing it yesterday the poor boy didn't have any skill with a needle and as such had been forced to wear something similar to what his sparring partner wor before an unseen nuto I my Lord avater nuto looked up from his sparring session with susuki momentarily discomfited by that title saca's plan was working well everyone thought he was the avator not on it made sense from a certain point while he drew attention the young Airbender could learn all the bending he required without the undue attention of being hunted by the fire nation that didn't mean he had to like it though far from it he loed this idea the the idea of taking credit for someone else had never sat well with him having actual power had done little to temper that distaste nearly a full week had passed since their arrival in kashu ironically he had been the one to argue for their Extended Stay he didn't know if was Suki or the something else he simply felt drawn here but what was it Suki was a nice girl after all he supposed she'd wararmed to him considerably during the last seven days and although he remained loed to admit it he did enjoy their spars especially stop stop stop stop that way L ruin shaking himself from those treacherous thoughts nuto Rose wiped the sweat from his brow and turned to face the messenger standing in the door yes what is it P Nation troops have landed in Kashi the blonde nearly faped at the news so much for this piece and quiet not Zuko again Zuko suuki asked as he slipped his armor on these just some pesky Prince I beat in the South Pole Naruto replied donning his jacket don't worry about it in the meantime I need you to get on and the other we may need to bug out if things get heated in any case but suuki I won't endanger your Island any longer than I already have a small pank Twisted at his heart as he said this in the lone week that they'd spent here he'd actually felt normal to leave that behind and Voyage out into the unknown again was strangely disheartening it was selfish of me to make everyone stay here this long I've put you all in danger because of that what you don't think I can handle a few Fire Nation troops she challenged as he slipped on the last of his armor no I I understand that you're a warrior but firebenders are way out of your league so you just don't trust me then a pain note entered her tone her painted face seemed strangely sad somehow amnet Warrior girl why wonk you listen her hand closed around his wrist holding him fast yes I'm a warrior she replied her voice the barest whisper something soft touched his whiskered Visage an instant later but I'm also a girl Naruto blinked touching a hand to his cheek opened his mouth to speak but it was already too late Suki she was gone leaving him with his innermost thoughts where the hell had that come from strange creatures women truly he crossed the streets with swift strides reaching the docks almost in no time at all oddly enough he didn't encounter any firebenders that was odd in and of itself the closer he came to the docks the more certain he became they were waiting for him there the barge didn't even lower its ramp until he was a few feet away nevertheless he prepared himself for battle all right Prince hothead he growled flexing his fingers are you ready for round two I'd call it round one the hell Nudo was expecting Zuko to step off that ship and face him not a girl certainly not someone his age Shish first Suki and those Kashi Warriors and now this why did he seem to be facing the opposite sex as of late was fate messing with him or something it must be so he stood there and watched wary as this newcomer surveyed her surroundings there was something dangerous about her theold and quite put his finger on it perhaps it was her aura or maybe it was the eyes in any case uzamaki Naruto avator of the Gods found himself Just a Touch uncomfortable so this is Kashi Island the girl murmured to herself as she disembarked it seems father was right to plant that spy on zuzu's ship after all and now I've beaten him to the punch how wonderful she extended her slim shoulder in a shrug honestly what Mark could a girl ask for suddenly wary Naruto edged a foot forward this girl wasn't like the others he'd fought BM you're not Zuko the girl saw him and smiled then it was a soft deadly dangerous thing that smile well well well what do we have here she chuckled you mean to say you're the avator that I've heard so much about her gaze roamed across his lightly armored body with Intrigue a spark of Interest shining in those dark orbs of hers you certainly are handsome I'll give you that but you should be humbled a hand Rose in a fire as flourish of blue flame you have the honor of addressing Aela princess of the Fire Nation I do hope you've prepared yourself for why for the fight of your life of course Aela said it as though it were the most obvious thing in the world you didn't think I rushed here ahead of my brother just to have tea now did you despite himself and all his power nuto actually blanched behind his guard ah Christ then his vision swelled with Azure fire at first I couldn't believe it even now the thought still leaves me reeling sometimes all the Airbenders gone he lated put the sword burn at the torch you get the picture at 's behest we'd gone to to visit the southern air Temple expecting to find what exactly I didn't much seem the point at the time but who was I to deny his request we'd already escaped from the Fire Nation drawing them away from qatar's family and tribe at the risk of our own skins somehow along the way qara developed a desire to travel to the North Pole and master waterbending alongside on and of course saket decided to come as well I was just along for the ride who was I to say where they could and could not go and onk shoes wouldn't I do the same would I not jump at the ch to see if all my old friends were still alive so away we went their expectations High mine remained low but we found there was only ruin old bones battered armor shredded garments and shattered skulls an nearly lost himself and who could blame him my own rage for the fire nation grew tenfold that day but what could I do even I can't bring back someone who's been dead for more than a century I'd just be breathing life back into gatosk bones without his flesh and organs he wouldn't last more than a few seconds at the most and that's being generous it broke my heart to tell Ang this that despite all my power the monks were simply too Fair gone I'll never forget that look of heartbreak on his face some avator of the Gods I am still my heart goes out to these kids qara said that we're angk family now oddly enough I find myself agreeing with her and by the gods if anyone tries to lay a hand on my family I will break them a simple task considering we only had zuu to worry about at the time Fe that little flame was no threat to myself wrong truly I had no fears when we arrived on the aisle of Kashi indeed one could even say I had become complacent it never once occurred to me that someone else might join in the hunt for us Su arudo stubbornly resisted the urge to open his eyes refusing to turn his head and peer over his shoulder as Ang popped up behind him thank the gods zaa could fly himself instead of giving into his own curiosity he forced his mind to focus on the task at hand not now am he chided I'm trying to concentrate he was sitting in a meditative position and concentrating on his outstretched right hand after a few seconds what looked like blue kaidong began to swirl around his palm it began to compress in upon itself as more and more began form and swirl soon enough floating a few inches above his palm was a blue spinning orb he saw nut's eyes focus on the orb and it began to spin even faster and form four white blades spinning with the orb as he watched the orb Spin The Last Airbender could have sworn he heard a low thrumming like something was trying to cut the air itself what in the world is that the orb continued to spin growing larger and larger encompassing his entire Palm until Naruto let out a sigh and relaxed letting the orb disappear good he said to himself I st LL got it it was then that he became aware of everyone's attention qara had paused in stitching Saka pants to goop at him her mouth forming a small roundo of disbelief Saka looked as though he' been preparing another one of his Infamous jokes but the sight of the minias and shuriken seemed to have stolen those words away finally he looked at on apparently confused by the boy's bowed head and lack of reaction is something the matter that that that was so cool the sheer force of boy's exaltation nearly knocked the Shinobi off the Bison thankfully he managed to write himself and levitate at the last instant in matter of moments here rejoined them alighting effortlessly upon the sadle once more though looking no less pleased for the effort boy he cried are you trying to knock me off app or something you've got to show me how to do that an would not be dissuaded so easily nunk expression turned Sommer I can't he replied and even if I could I still wouldn't teach you oh but why not this attack is meant to be used as a last resort and nothing more the blonde countered Eyes hidden beneath his rough and bangs if I were to unleash it on someone say a fire bender for example it would damage them so badly they'd never be able to bend again that is a fate I would wish on no man or woman no matter how vile he cracked an uneasy grin then a vain attempt to lighten the n hey why the long faces guys I may be a monster but at least I'm on your side you know a Sumer silence followed those words broken only by the wind in their hair ons lack thereof and the passing of the clouds over and under their heads finally someone decided to break it you're not a monster nuto nuto looked up startled to find Kara's hand on his own loara I appreciate the sentiment but let's be honest here I killed those firebenders back there only sparing the prince on a whim hell I enjoyed the kill in do you hear me it felt good if that doesn't make me a monster then I don't know what you not she repeated firmly a monster what's wrong with you Naruto lips parted in reply but her other hand clamped over his mouth before he could speak why would you even think such a thing after all youve said and done for us why Ang is still alive because of you our tribe wasn't destroyed by the Fire Nation Because of You Saka and I are still standing here because of you if protecting those you care for makes you a monster than I'm one too something in those teary blue eyes of hers struck and forestalled him preventing any argument on his part from pressing the issue any further but that Naruto relented all right all right he sighed pushing a hand across her head by the gods girl don't start Balling on me now th are you two done fighting theara promptly flushed pulled away and went back to sewing sakk pants we weren't fighting on yeah Saka SED good-naturedly stop bugging her Airhead you need to give girl space when they do their sewing what does me being a girl have to do with sewing there was a dangerous glint in Kara's eye now an accusatory tone that for those who knew her would cause them to duck for cover Saka made the foolish and nearly fatal mistake of pressing the issue simple he replied uncrossing his arms behind his head girls are better at fixing pants than guys and guys are better at hunting and fighting and stuff like that it's just the natural Order of Things Naruto and Ang simultaneously fped they recognized the verbal Gaff but did Saka nope the young Warrior of the water tribe realized his mistake far too late all done with your pants his sister held up the half stitched article of clothing and flung it in his face and look what a great job I did wait I was just kidding I can't wear these Katara please relax Saka where we're going you won't need any pants we're here elephant koi gudo watched with Amusement as his fellow avater rode the giant fish it wasn't until something started to eat those massive koi that he began to work what if something happened to him he wasn't exactly keen on saving the world by himself and aong died he wouldn't reincarnate for quite some time not to mention he'd be reborn in the Water Tribe and any chance of him learning air bending would go out the window g a small chuckle fled his lips unbidden as on sped

get a word in edgewise now wait just a minute both of you hear me out right now who is Prince hothead hunting on you or Naruto who does he think is the avator the Tara tilted her head she hadn't considered that question until this very moment D do you know the answer Nudo the young avator was beginning to see where this plan was going and he didn't like it not one bit nuto was of the same mind it felt like he was stealing the Poor Boy's Thunder that just wasn't his style nor did he enjoying resting the claim to fame away from another for Saka to ask such a thing of him no he couldn't do it it wasn't just his humility he'd worked so hard to keep the Fire Nation from pestering him after his last death and while he was already living a life on the Run he wasn't exactly keen on Advertising his powers I can't believe I'm saying this buaka has a point the Tara you too that would give H all the Time in the World to f focus on his bending the water bender persisted besides I've seen how much skill you have with the elements even though you're not a bender you could still pass for the avater easily why are you fighting us on this because I don't want to do it Naruto argued and you're forgetting about Ang how does he feel about all this three pairs of eyes focused upon the Last Airbender well long what do you think Saka and qara asked almost simultaneously Naruto shook his head rapidly a silent plea for him to say no poor boy he actually flinched does it really matter think of it this way Saka pointed out we know for a fact that nuto can handle almost anything the Fire Nation throws at him we all know you're strong on but if something happened to you well I don't know what we do the avator might be reborn but there's only one you now that we have nuto we actually have an option and while he is the avator just think how much free time you'd have it' be even easier to master the elements the avator seemed to consider this Theo growled deepen low in his throat horrible idea terrible idea I think it's a winner sakur reaffirmed says the boy who was beaten by a girl Naruto hissed that was a fluke hey do you want to save the world or not that's low on growned you guys I have a bad feeling about this but if it helps with my training letun do it Saka turned to his sister I would like to State for the record that those words did not come out of my mouth nuto was still muttering to himself when he stalked back to tsuki every fiber of his being railed against this but he could see the need for it as much as he might loow that sometimes choices like this had be made regardless of whether he liked them or not with this in mind he stealed himself to sprak what was all that about she asked d a discussion of how long we intend to stay the blonde lied still you'd best gather your elders I have a message for them and what might that be a delicate brow quirked in questioning tell them but the avator has returned the word travel like wildfire the avator had returned and he was upon Kashi one would think it ironic that hearsay could move so swiftly but it did Word of Mouth passing from a young girl to that of a fisherman on the docks of Kashi from said fisherman to that of an earth Kingdom traiter work then a fire nation cook until at long last those words reached the ears of a certain Prince for a moment said Firebender could barely believe his luck here he had sat down to dinner resolved to another sleepless night what Zuko arched up from the dinner table the steaming salmon on his plate now forgotten the avator is on Kashi Island foolish words spoken in anger and haste Helmsman changed course at once unbeknownst to him and another became aware of that location as well one week later nuto grunted as he parried his opponent's blow using the same leverage against her to negate the force of her throw she struggled back trying to use his own strength against him but his stance proved simply too solid for her to breach likewise she proved to fluid to grasp without serious effort on his part effort wasn't whing to expend just yet they stood there a long moment staring one another down refusing to yield to give ground to back down to yielded finally at an unseen command they broke apart your stance is getting better the ex Shinobi found himself commending suuki I wish you'd stop holding back she sighed straightening and closing her fan hey if I did that it wouldn't be any fun was it just his imagination or was that a flush beneath the facient he stood in a radically altered version of the Kashi battle dress Contour to fit his male physique minus the white facient of course tradition or na he simply refused to go through that again it had been hilarious to see Saka wearing it yesterday the poor boy didn't have any skill with a needle and as such had been forced to wear something similar to what is sparring partner War before an unseen Naruto I my Lord avater Naruto looked up from his sparring session with susuki momentarily discomfited by that title sack's plan was working well everyone thought he was the avator not on it made sense from a certain point while he drew attention the young Airbender could learn all the bending he required without the undue attention of being hunted by the fire nation that didn't mean he had to like it though far for Midi loed this idea the idea of taking credit for someone else had never sat well with him having actual power had done little to temper that distaste nearly a full week had passed since their arrival in kosu ironically he had been the one to argue for their Extended Stay he didn't know if was suuk or the something else he simply felt drawn here here but what was it Suki was a nice girl after all he supposed she'd warmed to him considerably during the last s days and although he remained loed to admit it he did enjoy their spars especially stop stop stop stop that way L ruin shaking himself from those treacherous thoughts nuto Rose wiped the sweat from his brow and turned to face the messenger standing in the door yes what is it IR Nation troops have landed in Kashi the blonde nearly fped at the news so much for this piece and quiet not Zuko again Zuko suuki asked as he slipped his armor on he's just some pesky Prince I beat in the South Pole Naruto replied donning his jacket don't worry about it in the meantime I need you to get on and the others we may need to bug out if things get heated in any case but suuki I won't endanger your Island any longer than I already have a small pank Twisted at his heart as he said this in the lone week that they'd spent here he'd actually felt normal to leave that behind and Voyage out into the unknown again with was strangely disheartening it was selfish of me to make everyone stay here this long I've put you all in danger because of that what you don't think I can handle a few Fire Nation troops she challenged as he slipped on the last of his armor no I understand that you're a warrior but firebenders are way out of your league so you just don't trust me then a pain note entered her tone her painted face seemed strangely sad somehow bamed Warrior girl why won't you listen her hand closed around his wrist holding him fast yes I'm a warrior she replied her voice the bearest whisper something soft touched his whiskered Visage an instant later but I'm also a girl Naruto blinked touching a hand to his cheek opened his mouth to speak but it was already too late Suki she was gone leaving him with his innermost thoughts where the hell had that come from strange creatures women truly he crossed the streets with swift strides reaching the docks almost in no time at all oddly enough he didn't encounter any firebenders that was odd in and of itself the closer he came to the docks the more certain he became they were waiting for him there the barge didn't even lower its ramp until he was a few feet away nevertheless he prepared himself for battle all right Prince hothead he growled flexing his fingers are you ready for round two I'd call it round one the hell Nudo was expecting Zuko to step off that ship and face him not a girl certainly not someone his age shees first Suki and those Kashi Warriors and now this why did he seem to be facing the opposite sex as of late was fate messing with him or something it must be so he stood there and watched wary as this newcomer surveyed her surroundings there was something dangerous about her the cold and quite put his finger on it perhaps it was her aura or maybe it was the eyes in any case uzamaki Naruto avater of the Gods found himself Just a Touch uncomfortable so this is Kashi Island the girl murmured to herself as she disembarked it seems father was right to plant that spy on zuu ship after all and now I've beaten him to the punch how wonderful she extended her slim shoulder in a shrug honestly what more could a girl ask for suddenly wary Naro edged a foot forward this girl wasn't like the others he'd fought her you're not Zuko the girl saw him and smiled then it was a soft deadly dangerous thing that smile well well well what do we have here she chuckled you mean to say you're the avator that I've heard so much about her gaze roamed across his lightly armored body with Intrigue a spark of Interest shining in those dark orbs of hers you certainly are handsome I'll give you that but you should be humbled a hand Rose in a fire as flourish of blue flame you have the honor of addressing Aela princess of the Fire Nation I do hope you've prepared yourself for why for the fight of your life of course aelis said it as though it were the most obvious thing in the world you didn't think I rushed here ahead of my brother just to have tea now did you despite himself and all his power nuto actually blanched behind his guard ah Christ then his vision swelled with Azure fire I never really figured out just why I enjoyed breaking and out of jail so much maybe it had something to do with my initial disrespect for Authority perhaps my dislike of the Fire Nation it might even have something all that time I spent trapped in that Blood Prison way back when who knows regardless I was never really much of a fan of being locked up or seeing others be unjustly imprisoned in any case I all but jumped at the chance to do something for these people they needed a hero and we just so happened to be there plus it was the perfect chance to unleash my ultimate prank I'd been looking for a good excuse to cause some Mischief anyway but it just so happened to manifest in this time of need was nothing short of a blessing we made our plans that night the six of us ate if you count haa and Momo and I could see there was some skepticism at first why wouldn't there be this plan essentially hinged on myself Ang and heru were it to fall we'd be down two avors and an earthbender not exactly the most pleasing outcome but I was confident in my plan and in my friends what could possibly go wrong Sue here's the plan to invade the prison and kick some fire nation ass Naruto began sometime later I'm only going to explain this once so listen and listen well he gathered them all together in a nearby Barn the eight of them himself qara Suki Saka Ang APPA Momo and last but certainly not least Haru night was falling on the village tomorrow they would enact this gloriously devious strategy to free haru's father and all the benders from Fire Nation conell now first we scare the hell out of the little [ __ ] rudo the blonde sighed as qara whacked him on the shoulder the only part of him she could reach sorry forgot about the swearing oh leave him be qara Suki paused from stroking appa's chin to shake her head he's obviously said on this and it's not like we can leave those people trapped Naruto opened his mouth to agree that was when he saw the Moonlight striking her face she turned away from him returning her attention to Appa and for this he was suddenly intensely grateful it means she didn't catch him staring she really did look different without her Kashi Warrior makeup like a normal girl even although she'd yet to change out of her armor he could still see that she was a true beauty and would only grow with age unbidden the memory of her kiss came roaring back filling his face with fire B boy is there something on my face the young Warrior became aware of his attention and touched a hand to her cheek Naruto nearly swooned before getting himself back under control just barely he'd gone without the fair sex for so long he'd almost forgotten what it was like and was it just him or did he feel a touch of killer intent from qara no no he shook his head rapidly dismissing Suki's words it's nothing oh she seemed slightly crestfallen at that I see I agree an nodded utterly oblivious to the scene or the tension sounds fun right bar blinked fun don't listen to him Saka cried this is not fun this is the opposite of fun why aren't you listening but I think it's fun darn it Naruto you've doomed us all in that instant the Shinobi shook off his sorrow and grinned that smile could have put a certain Spirit to shame no I've doomed the enemy sukii gulped um Naruto um they seriously starting to scare me right now the blond's grin only grew but he chuckled then it'll terrify the Fire Nation now here's the plan he told them as much his glorious idea to rescue the prisoners and prank the hell out their fire Nations wardens there was a silence then more than a few Jaws hung a gape at what the blonde had just told them if he hadn't been the avator of the Gods such a thing wouldn't have been feasible even now his strange sugus Chong strained the limits of their credulity Suki and heru remained particularly baffled granted they had not known the Shinobi all that long but this this was ridiculous you sir are a mad genius qara shook her head in disbelief further inflaming their confusion disguising ourselves as Fire Nation I'm surprised Saka didn't think of that hey I can't come up with all the plans the warrior replied begrudgingly recognizing the simple Brilliance of nutk scheme guess I'm not the only tactician here aren't I Naruto grinned slapping his foster brother on the back Honestly though I think that title of mad genius should be reserved for Bei B burst into hysterics at that one but how are you going to get on board without alerting them I already told you I'm not nunk grin grew ASA is his gaze slit to Haru shek be escorting an atric this Earth Bender now it was harun's turn to object I haven't known you all that long but this doesn't make any sense how are we going to get the princess of the Fire Nation by the Earth before he could finish the blonde snorted and slapped both hands together summoning up a massive plume of smoke hence the exclamation a series of hacking coughs arose from the barn and when the plume dissipated team avater found themselves treated to an inexplicable sight Naruto was gone princess Aela stood in his place hello cretans she sneered miss me what in the their reaction time was nothing short of spectacular Aela instantly found herself andoral within a wall of Earth and ice with Sak's Boomerang and Suki's fan at her throat Aang was the only one who held back although whether it was out of hesitation or his own reluctance to kill remained to be seen what have you done with Naruto Katara demanded to know where is he what did you do to him where did you take him oh places the princess's smile never faltered in the face of the waterbender Fury those Eerie golden orbs drifting slightly shut things you know that sort of thing answer me why he's right here of course when next day opened those eyes were a startling shade of blue nutk voice issuing forth from aela's mouth a moment later he it's only me sorry about that I couldn't resist pulling your legs I just look like her don't I the simple shrug of those slender shoulders swiftly shattered the prison qara and heru had encased him in shooting shs of dirt and broken Earth erupting outwards with effortless ease by the time the dust had cleared nuto was with them once more wow on blinked wish I could do that theara wasn't so easy to convince wait a second how do we know you're the real Naruto the longsuffering Sigh left his lips all right then only I could know this the water bender stiffened he wouldn't dare theara when you were only 6 years old you once told me you wanted to marry someone that someone was n trudo's mouth was quickly covered by a deeply flushing qara you promised not to talk about that narut she hissed out turning her head slightly she found nigh but everyone staring back at her with confused Expressions her flush grew even redder thankfully Naruto chose that moment to break the silence oh and Saka you wet the bed until you were 10 do you believe me now a hysteria that followed as well as the Grateful giggle from qara was utterly Priceless Peru actually snickered you did what not cool man seaka whined not cool Naruto sui goed stepping forward I'm afraid I don't understand how did you turn into that girl um yes Haru agreed could you please explain sir avater the blonde merely laughed and changed back into Azela again henge the now transformed nuto smiled Softly As He observed a manicured hand it was Eerie Suki thought by the gods themselves he even sounded like that crazy girl it's a fascinating ability to tell the truth useful too I've had centuries to master its greatest intricacies I can stay like this for at least a week if I don't use any of my major techniques used to be I could only trans form into someone I knew but now now I can become almost anyone of course I did think about becoming the Royal flaming [ __ ] himself Fire Lord OA anyone but where's the fun in that I say sui frowned you think this is fun of course I do Naruto grinned popping back into his normal body it's been ages since I've pranked the Fire Nation what better way to do it than with their own princess I got a good look at her mannerisms when weed with a bit of practice I'm certain I can fool them from there it's just a matter of pranking the the hell out of the warden and his men not to mention inspiring the earthbenders to rise up and fight their oper as true Warriors should it'll be cake it still doesn't change the fact that you're taking an awful risk she pressed you're one of our strongest Fighters remember if we lose you then we risk losing the war itself she didn't see Ang bristle in the corner of her eye for a moment Naruto thought the boy was going to reveal his status a Kurt glare from Kara caused him to swiftly shut his mouth that suuk don't worry he tried to brush off her ear gingerly as he could I'll be careful like you were careful against Aela came the retort Naruto she burned you her words caused him to cringe he was well aware of the still healing scar lining his neck he gained it when deflecting aela's bolt of lightning it had actually managed to char him a little before he grabbed and redirected it the injury didn't impede him but it still served as a brutal reminder of what might happen should he ever hold himself back in the heat of battle like that again that was the first and last time he'd undery made a Firebender or any one for that matter that won't happen again agitated though he might be nuto refused to let it show if you just hear me out I'm sorry I can't agree with this plan it puts you in too much danger let me know when you thought of something less dangerous she walked away and out of the barn before anyone could think to stop her the ensuing silence tasted like ash in nutk throat why was she so worried about him suuk shek be back Saka yawned what matters now is that we get some shut ey obviously we' got a big day ahead of us tomorrow I'm going to bed nuto groaned as the others grabbed their bag and prepared to turn in wisely refraining from saying anything everyone save qara she alone approached him realizing his distress whereas the others did their best to avoid it not for lack of caring but out of fear for angering the powerful Shinobi are you all right she asked touching a hand to his shoulder nuto fed a shrug was it something I said she just worries about you yeah I gathered that much honestly I he would have said more had not his injury flared up tongues of invisible fire shot up and down his neck a silent reminder of the near Miss he'd suffered back on Kashi Island qara saw him cringe and dipped a hand into the pouch she wore around her arm almost before he knew it he felt the cool Touch of water upon his neck stinging yes but soothing the worst of the pain it had not the healing properties of proper medicine not yet but he sensed she'd soon lean about her powerful talents till then he'd just bear with a wound and let it heal she really hurt you didn't she qara soothed running her still wet hand across the fresh scar numbing it even further aruto bit back another sigh nothing I haven't endured before Nudo I I think Suki might be right she indicated a bail of hay and forced him to sit so she could tend the wi further your plan rather Reckless not you too Naruto groaned childishly as she complied with her demand why is everyone so concerned about me have you all forgotten just how strong I am it's not just me Qatar replied running her hand hands over his neck everyone worries about you the way you throw yourself into battle it's almost like your suicidal the former Shinobi ruthlessly bit back the urge to snap at her for the unperceived slight death was the last thing he wanted but he Daren tell her that there you go all done sking softly to himself the last Shinobi sat up his treatment finished fine he relented because you ask so nicely I'll try to be more careful her smile was nothing short of dazzling oh and by the way she leaned closer if you never mentioned that bit about me wanting to marry you when I was little yes this time the smile was so cold it actually made him shiver I'll bury you in a glacier with that she stro away Nudo watched her go shaking his head why did he always attract Deadly Women why why couldn't his life just be simple later that night his life became even more complicated Nudo had chosen to take the first watch on the off chance that the guard from before wanted to exact his Vengeance on her's shop they'd be in for a nasty surprise that they would still it was a lonely Duty trying to stay awake out here in the cold all by himself for a brief moment he imagined he was on his own again with no friends or family to call his own it made him shudder those thought of Belling alone were no longer a passing fear now it was a nightmare of sorts he'd spent so much time in a group that the thought of leaving them behind actually hurt that'll happen someday he reminded himself make no mistake if this war didn't kill qara and his Newfound friends then old age certainly would the vile old one enemy even he couldn't defeat time everything had been so much easier when he'd only need worry about himself now it seemed everywhere they went their little group grew a little larger first with Suki on Kashi now in this desolate Little Village heru Ang just might have found a way to start learning Earth bending in him even if the young Bender decided to remain behind once they went on their way which remained quite likely who knew what would come to pass next once that would have sorrowed him now he refused to look to the Future he'd long since resolved to live in the moment since joining the southern water tribe trying to gaze ahead into his future would only bring upon Him Untold sorrow his strange little family was only growing that should make him happy right he pinched his whisker cheeks happy his thoughts were broken by the crack of a broken Branch somewhere behind him alert he rounded with a hent step toward the darkness renan flaring who goes there relax a familiar voice soothed it's me Suki nuto relaxed a touch baffled to find none other than Suki emerging from the black at his flank don't do that I could have killed you she looked fearsome in her armor but somehow the lack of makeup made her appear almost fragile he thought sorry the Kashi Warrior smiled softly at least she had the good grace to look sheepish I couldn sleep you too huh the brunette nodded in affirmation coming to stand beside him I thought I'd come to relieve you Nudo shook his head not tired the words lapsed into awkward silence neither dared glance at one another painfully aware of the argument they'd had mere hours before at last nuto couldn't take it anymore he'd been so caught up in his plan for prank them that he'd failed to notice the lone voice of dissent in the group was it right for him to just dismiss her out of turn like that of course not he needed to pause and consider the others thoughts not throw himself headlong into battle and cause chaos without a care he opened his mouth to speak and so too did she I'm sorry I'm sorry they apologized in the same instant it was a brief moment of hesitation then the two teens laughed the tension bursting forth from them in a single guffa just like that it was over the rift between them was closed it was wrong of me to call you foolish sukii admitted and it was wrong of me to be so reckless nuto replied suo I guess wek good then that's so darn she swore her pale face flushing beneath the Moonlight I feel like a complete idiot at is questing look she continued here I had this Grand speech prepared and then you forgive me just like that what am I supposed to do now you could always stay and watch the stars with me Naruto drawled gazing Upward at the thousands of tiny pin Pricks above the rment of Heaven hanging over their heads I was keeping watch for that fire bender from before but I think he's given up for the day he sat and patted the spot beside him quietly wondering whether or not she would accept the unspoken invitation I'd like that Nudo felt his heart skip a beat as the young Warrior accepted his offer sitting down and scooting dangerously close to him when her hand came to rest a top as he nearly jumped out of his skin but Suki was flushing just as much as he so he bore with it that's the star of Kashi she indicated a particularly bright pin prick of light with her finger you can see it from almost anywhere in the world lorito whistled I had no idea you were well-versed in astrology it's nice isn't it she murmured laying her head on his shoulder still peering up at the stars I could just stare at them all night Theo made no move to pull away if Suki was interested in him then so be it he was beginning to understand now see the futility of it all nothing he said to would change her mind short of outright violence and right now he just didn't have the heart to push her away a sudden Pang of guilt stabbed of this heart as they stood there beneath the stars this girl trusted him looked out for him wanted the best for his sake and here he was all but lying to a fellow member of Team avater someone whom he just might be developing feelings for Suki there's something I need to tell you yes I'm not the avator he blurted out there was another silence this one charged with awkward tension Suki pulled away from nuto her Auburn eyes boring deep into his own when she finally spoke her voice was the barest of Whispers I know you knew nutk jaw nearly hit the ground what when for a few weeks now she admitted suddenly sheepish I realized around the time when we left kosi it was always Ang who kept focusing on saving the world not you when I saw the marking and his bending it kind of became obvious when I asked Saka and qara they fessed up that it was their idea at the blond's pensive expression she offered up a slight smile I'm not angry you know I understand why you lied to me back then you might not be the avator everyone was looking for but you were just doing what you felt right I suppose well that's just it a Ry smile pulled at his lips it felt good to open up especially to her I suppose you could say I am an avater but not laong my abilities don't Focus primarily on the elements but other areas of that aspect they make me almost Invincible but I can still be injured here he touched hand to his scar still be killed was why I spoke out earlier when those words came they nearly flart him but it was nothing compared to what came next we still need you I need you she said the last part in a very tiny voice were an ordinary man present he wouldn't have heard it but nuto was no ordinary man he heard every word why the warrior blinked slowly why what why would you need someone like me because you're you Suki replied even with all your imperfection you might be stubborn headstrong Reckless arito coughed AEM sitting right here oh oh sorry Suki flushed anyway you inspired me she continued her voice gaining force with each word until the day we met I thought Kashi was all that mattered there was nothing else no one else I didn't care about the Fire Nation or about the war heck I'd been convinced the avater didn't exist until you and Ang showed up but you proved me wrong I decided to leave Kashi because of you it doesn't matter whether you're the avator or not you still showed me I have much to to learn reminded me that there's an entire world out there for me to see a world that will be destroyed by the Fire Nation if something isn't done her words were so impassioned by the time she finished nuto was literally left in awe I'm glad I could inspire you suo back on Kashi what you saw were Shinobi skills Suki I gained them a lifetime ago darn she pouted and here I was hoping you could teach me a slight smile played on her pale features it might not be real bending but I'd love to learn Theo actually blinked at that he' never once considered taking on a student in this land he was the last of a great people and would likely still reincarnate time and time again but to restart the Shinobi people as a whole why hadn't he thought of this sooner was this what he was meant to do recreate his people he wasn't sure I suppose I could try really I don't see why not nuto Shrugged but I should warn you I'm a strict teacher I his words died away as her lips touch touched his cheek for the second time since they'd met wah I look forward to learning from you then sifu Naruto she Rose and performed at Deep bow and I'll see you later good night what was it that Drew strong deadly girls to him qara hadn't struck him as dangerous until this evening her threat about burying him had been quite real sui was a warrior herself now aspiring to be a Shinobi in a world of Benders and non-benders then there had been that Hellcat from the Fire Nation Aela that was one hu the fighter there idly he wondered what was Prince's hote head up to now meanwhile you should be afraid of me ASA jumped to a sighting position in her CAU on the ship with a small scream her eyes popping open wide sweat on her forehead and her breath coming in small shallow gasps a dream she realized willing her frantic heart to stop beating its way out of her chest it had been just a dream nothing more and nothing less the princess tried to tell to the adrenaline coursing through her veins quietly willing her body to accept what her mind already knew to be true it was all a dream she told herself that repeatedly as she tried to settled back down on the Cod it was all a dream she tried to stare at the still it candles of her cabin until she fell asleep but they cast shadows and played Havoc with her mind she was literally jumping at the side of them closing her eyes didn't help either she was terrified he would come for her in the dark terrified and yet strangely excited the longer she lay there the more that excitement began to exert itself the thrill of facing a strong opponent Waring with a terror of being made a helpless little girl before him just a dream she reminded herself just a dream Just a Dream Just a Dream but if it was a dream why did it hurt sleep gummed eyes creaked open once more and surveyed her cabin barely able to comprehend her dimming surroundings wait a minute she bolted upright again memories blazing through her mind like an inferno of outwardly fire the avator he killed her hadn't he she clearly recalled tasting blood in her mouth feeling her spirit depart her body and yet here she was as though she'd woken up from a horrible dream but it was no dream it had been real all too real why am I not dead she thought checking herself for injuries thankfully she found some thankfully because it meant she wasn't losing her mind that twinge in her right side bespoke of a recently healed broken rib and the dull pulse of her ankle warned that her left ankle was still very much sprained her cheek was horribly sore there would be a bruise tomorrow morning if she was lucky swelling if she wasn't apparently only the most life-threatening injuries had been tended to their wounds were still healing but they looked as though they'd been tended to recently perhaps only a few days ago she knew none of her men were capable in The Healing Arts most of them barely knew how to try and bandage their own that left the avator Naruto he must have done this but why why kill her and bring her back it was well known that the avador had power over the spirit world but she hadn't thought that a being like that could bring the dead back bring her back dry as she might she just couldn't muster up the rage she needed to hate him Terror at what he'd done to her yes and excitement at the prospect of fighting him again but anger no it's simp wouldn't come what has he done to me she touched a hand to her head the room still swimming in the Candlelite why she whispered to herself tucking her knees into her chest why did you do that you fool her last words were little more than a soft lonely whisper why did you heal me the next morning they took her's mother Dorito bolted upright lurching out of his sleeping bag as Saka cry filled the barn rather he tried something warm and soft though no necessarily heavy pushed him back down it took him less than an in to recognize that familiar Bob of brown hair in his peripherals Suki somehow she'd crawled into his sleeping bag overnight how on Earth never mind he was a Shinobi For the Love of those Gods honestly asked that kiss last night he should have expected something like this Kakashi sensei's words rang in his mind from ages past look underneath the underneath thankfully no one noticed in the chaos everyone was too busy darting outside to investigate the burns outside heru in particular Naruto was suddenly an intensely grateful that he'd hidden the boy further back in the barn rather than risk him being discovered but now was not the time for such things and that time it took for everyone to scramble outs Naruto managed to jostel Suki awake and after a bit of flushing on both of their parts they were able to squirm free without anyone being the wiser we speak of this to No One Suki nodded fervently agreed they emerged to find the shop scorched beyond all recognition the ground blackened and twisted for at least a mile around talk about your Scorch Turf responses evidently the firebenders hadn't taken too kindly to nutk little prank AR was visibly trembling with anger tiny Pebbles stirring at his feet whilst he struggled to control his anger prevent himself from erupting into a terrifying display of earthbending prowess but the leash on his bending was thin and the poor boy looked as though he might snap at any instant if someone didn't say something Peru Naruto barked front and center the boy went stiff as a rod yes avater Naruto nuto silently resolved to tell the boy the truth later but but for now he needed to take command or the poor kid was going to kill someone we're getting your mother back in fact wek be bringing all the Earth Benders back he declared right here right now but the plan is about to be improvised Naruto replied sternly beckoning them closer come here all of you dot I'll have to hinge the lot of you for this to work wow on glanced down at his a luery body in utter awe barely able to believe what his fellow avater had done to the six of them they all looked like firebenders right down to the armor heroin Suki remained Stokely silent the latter deciding not to wonder just how nuto had Saka and qara appeared to be visibly chafing that there knew all be a temporary appearance APPA and Momo had been left behind in the barn changing their appearance wouldn't do anything but hinder the group and no one would believe a Firebender with a sky bison it won't last a slightly winded Naruto explained I can only maintain those forms for an hour or so guess we'll have to make this quick and to think I was Sue looking forward to using the rotten eggs and glue sealed away ah well I can always make it better drawing himself up he transformed into AA assuming the role with an eerie level of Grace now remember he began you'll need Follow My Lead no talking no showboating you're supposed to be my Elite guard for this little venture nothing more do not speak unless spoken to once we get aboard get out of s side and drop the Transformations the rest is up to you with the plan in place he led them to the nearest Garrison kicked down the door and barged in you there Soldier the Fire Nation Lieutenant had just opened his mouth to reply only for his jaw to slam into the ground once he laid eyes upon Aela striding toward him princess Aela I take it you know who I am yes mty he swiftly fell to a knee in gen a flection your father did not inform us of your arrival we weren't expecting you had you sent word I would have prepared a proper welcome no need Naruto silenced him with a wave I am here of my own accord now what is your name Lieutenant shu lady the man barely stammered out if I may ask to what do we owe the honor consider this a surprise inspection Lieutenant Shu the smile Naruto generated was entirely genuine hen you're not I'm Turing the colonies making certain everything is up to par as per my father's standards I understand you have an offshore prism responsible for manufacturing coal do you not at the man's nod the pseudo princess continued as I thought take me to this so-called prison of yours Soldier I wish to see it for myself personally would your guards be accompanying us as well my lady yes of course we will Naruto waved off the mank concern with the Royal we he' heard by so many arrogant Nobles in his land Another Touch of gain Jutsu was all it took to bend the man's mind to his will to prevent him from questioning the strange behavior of these so-called guards of course princess I now know why I enjoy breaking in and out of Prisons it isn't the food nor the guards and it certainly isn't the people not the Slate grey walls or the lumpy beds either it is something far more Bas than that a vile little word that I have come to love pranking barring that there is one other word that word would best be described as right Naruto as Aela was laughing his head off as he flung Fireballs at the hapless Fire Nation guards Ang's trick had worked flawlessly summoning up Cole from the vents a few impassioned words from qara toward the earthbenders and that was their cue for Aela to lose her pretty little head and joined the resistance their Transformations dropped away in hiding qara and the others were thus free to LEAP into action and recall manner of Havoc upon the warden and his men in spectacular fashion in short all bloody hell broke loose I do so love it when a plan comes together for the next hour the entire Fire Nation prison experienced pure hell but that was not Naruto's intention no this had been done for one reason and one reason only impersonating a fire nation princess was certainly a pricey little move but making everyone thing said princess was on the side of the enemy was utterly Priceless in short Aela feared reputation of being the fire nation's best was brought crumbling down around her unknowing ears in a matter of minutes now when the Fire Nation spoke of their beloved princess they would speak of only one thing AA had gone mad Bish Aela could barely believe her ears when she received word by messenger hawk 2 Days Later Me by father what do you mean what did I do when a bird simply sat there she turned it into all but a roast chicken and demanded her Cooks serve it up for dinner no she whispered fervently suffering a mental and comical breakdown I can't be banished not me I'm not like zuu I'm father's favorite there's no way I could be banished there's just no way somewhere miles away uzamaki Naruto was laughing his ass off then chapter so this part ends here if you want to see next part of the series like the video now and share the story with your friends bye-bye
