The Balance of Worlds

Chapter 1: The Wish and The Payment

A figure of a young man walked on he bridge, wearing a long crimson cloak that seemed to have seen many battles due to the cuts and scorch marks on the bottom of the cloak. The cloak had no hood and ended just below the figure's nose, as the two belts that held it together around the figure's body were in the front where his mouth is located. The cloak waved in the sea breeze as the young man walked in the mist ridden bridge. He wore a black body suit with fishnet for sleeves and a mask that covered the lower neck to just below the eyes. He wore snug, loose fitting pants with a headband of a leaf with a slash through it around his waist. His eyes were completely different from each other, his left eye had a crimson blood red trim around the iris and pupil while in between it was soft glow of dead cerulean blue. His right eye had a glow of dead violet iris with a blackish red pupil. His hair was long and flowing in the minor wind present. The weird thing about his hair was, that the left side of his head had crimson tips as the blond hair with sliver highlights were the most present. The right side of his head had black as night tips in the sea of blond with sliver highlights. In the young man's left hand was a long O-katana with jade green leather around the hilt, and what seemed to be a locket around the hilt. The sheathe was completely black as the guard was a long sliver dragon wrapping around itself. The young man donned black sandals as they hit the bridge. If one looked closely, they would see a tattoo on his right hand with the numbers 666 in a triangle formation. He continued to walk through the mist and shortly stopped as he came to a dome of ice mirrors, and the sounds of a battle nearby. A large spike of the young man's Killing Intent, and all attention was on him. "Please more yourself from my path before I move you yourself." Spoke the young man, but his voice as ice cold and sounded like that of a teenager.

A Kiri hunter-nin appeared from out of a mirror and looked at the young man, before the shinobi spoke. "Excuse me Samurai-san, but I do not wish to hurt you, so please go around and evade the battle happening please." The Hunter-nin from Kiri said in a kind voice.

The young man just looked at the Hunter-nin before walking past him and into the ice mirror dome. There he seen two Konoha gennin, and noticed that one was Uchiha Sasuke. The so called 'Last Uchiha' when there was his brother Itachi...then there was his love her who was killed by Itachi and Madara. He knew the true reason behind the massacre, he knew his love was taken from him when she had nothing to do with the coup that her clan had planned. He knew that the people who gave the order to Itachi, and he knew he was just being used by the village. He could feel the blood lust come up to the surface, but as soon as it came up it was push down. "I do not wish to interfere with your fight, but I have a very important place to get to and a very important person to see. So, move this other mirror before I destroy it and move on. If you do not cooperate, and attack me I will defend myself and aim to kill." He said in the same icy cold tone, only this time with a bigger spike of Killing Intent.

The Hunter-nin nodded and moved the mirror to the side enough for the young man to get through, before moving it to its original spot. 'Such power, and he is about as old as I.' The Kiri hunter-nin thought before turning back to the two others inside the dome...the two Konoha shinobi.

A man with a mask, wearing a full body suit and a Kevlar Flat Jacket with sliver gravity deifying hair went wide eyed at the familiar spike of Killing Intent. 'It can't be...why is HE here of all places?' The man questioned himself as he blocked a large Zanbato from a man just as large as he with a mask covering the lower part of his face. Both men turned to the presence that came into view, one with both different eyes wide open and the other with both eyes closed.

The young man stopped as the two older men stood there in a deadlock staring at him. His multicolored eyes looked bored and annoyed before he spoke. "Move yourselves from my path, before I become impatient with the lot of you and pave this path with blood once more." He spoke in cold tone once again, only this time he sent out a wave of Killing Intent that had the two senior men sweating and breathing hard from it.

The man with the large Zanbato jumped back and out of the way of the young man. 'That headband is from Konoha, but it's as a missing nin. And this kid doesn't look like Uchiha Itachi. So just who the hell are you then?' The eyebrow less man thought as the young man walked by him.

The sliver hair stood frozen and paled as he saw the young man walk right past him, only to stop and turn to him. "Scarecrow, do not think I did not forget what you tried to do before I left Konoha that night...I knew it was you behind that Inu mask. I've seen you have smartened up since the last time...it would have been unpleasant to have to remove annoyances from my path again." The young man said and looked over his shoulder at the Slivered hair shinobi. His eyes glowing like a phantom as hid hair wavered in the wind. He then turned and continue to walk through the mist ridden bridge soon disappearing.

The sliver haired shinobi sighed as he sensed the young man disappear, but that look in the young man's eyes had said everything that would happen to him if he or his enemy Zabuza had not moved. "SS-ranked missing-nin Uzumaki Naruto...The Bakemono no Kage (1)..." He said in a faint whisper the only one close enough to hear it was his enemy Momochi Zabuza...The Akuma no Kiri...and he did hear it.

Zabuza went wide eyed at the information, he had the latest bingo book and it had no picture of the only SS-ranking nin in the book. Just an alias and weapons description. He now knew why Konoha marked him a rank-S missing nin, but why to go as far as rank-SS? Flee on sight and do not engage alone or at all? As far as he remembered, that same rank and order has not been in the bingo book since Namikaze Minato and the order was for Iwa shinobi and kunochi. To think someone this young could have a whole nation feared was something to be awed at and aware of. Plus, this kid had Sharingan Kakashi afraid for his life was saying something. He just shook off the feeling coming from the missing nin and recovered the same time Kakashi did and continued their fight.

Naruto continued to walk in the mist as it started to lessen, he knew he was near the end of the artificial mist created by the ranked-A missing nin Momochi Zabuza. As he walked out of the mist, he spotted a girl a year younger than he with bubble gum pink hair, she held a kunai in her hand in a weak defensive position as he walked closer and closer to her and the old man who looked like a drunk. He stopped as she and the old man were in his path. "Both of you move, I have somewhere to go. If you do not move from my path, I will promise you that you will not see the next minute or breathe after this moment." He said in a icy cold tone and used his thumb to push up the guard and the hilt of his O-katana to show the two his sliver blade. The two slowly backed out his way as he continued to walk on the path he was walking on. The last team 7 or Momochi Zabuza and his student seen of Uzumaki Naruto was on the bridge.

Naruto was well into the forest of the Nami no Kuni, and he stopped walking as he turned to his left. "You can come out Jiraiya-san. I was expecting you sooner or later." And so did Jiraiya the Gama Sennin in his glory came out of the tree he was standing on. His white hair flowing in the air as red makeup lines make it look like crimson tears run down his face. His custom made headband had the kanji for 'Oil' on it as he looked at Naruto.

"So, what's the celebration about?" He asked with a small smile.

"I'm going to find her...and if she doesn't remember, I will just make sure we fall in love again..." Naruto said as he looked up through the trees to the sky with a far away look in his eyes that seemed to be alien to his face.

"How exactly are you going to do that? There's not like there's anyone who can grant wishes?" Jiraiya laughed a little before he found Naruto's serious masked face looking at him. "Whoa, there is? Maybe I can get a wish?" He said as he rubbed his chin.

"You can't, only those who have the need for the wish can only enter where I'm going. For someone, who's soul is damned to be devoured by evils that should not exist could experience love, happiness, and light where all he does is live in the darkness and stride to be in the light. As long as I feel her touch, see her smile, or hear her voice of her soul I will be happy just to be near her and die. But if I can feel her love once again...I'd be willing to throw everything I know and have to have my light back." Naruto said as his ice cold glaze looked up at the sky as crimson blood tears fell from his eyes for the first time in six years.

Jiraiya looked at his godson he helped take care of when he was first announced a rank-S missing nin. Then after the first year of showing him how to balance himself, his power and skill went up tenfold. Jiraiya knew that Naruto was the 'Child of Prophecy' as his godson could control all he elements perfectly. Even Akatsuki had given up trying to even catch him as their leader had found out his true power and his true weakness. Jiraiya knew that what would happen if and when Naruto died. The Satan cells that his bastard of an old teammate injected into Naruto when he took him a short time after the sealing. The cells actually contained that monster's consciousness and not only had Naruto had Kyuubi sealed inside of him trying to take control, he had to deal with a demon as old and strong as Kyuubi as well. But as far as Jiraiya knew, Lucifer or the Satan cells just wanted to influence Naruto's actions. But that time six years ago, he felt the aura that Lucifer gave off and how evil it wanted Naruto to be. But he didn't want Naruto so suffer the fate that the two souls sealed inside of him set up. They purposely changed the seal from the inside and outside, so that when Naruto dies, they would devour his soul and set free some odd years after that's if he did not hand over total control of his body to either one. But what pained Jiraiya the most was seeing Naruto shed those blood tears for his love and his past, that is now lost happiness. Those tears...the only symbol he had not lost of what he was not...a demon.

"I wonder what the price of my wish will be...no matter I will be I will pay it to be with her...Jiraiya, I guess this will be the last time we will see and talk to each other. You can tell Sarutobi that time may heal wounds, but a fatal wound he did to me will never heal. I maybe sympathetic of the choice he had to make, but I can never forgive him for the darkness he dropped me into and the light he took away. He may be like a grandfather to me, but that night six years ago severed all ties I had to Konoha and Sarutobi. And here there is two things I need you to do for me." Naruto said as he handed Jiraiya a piece of paper and a stone. "The paper is a note to the person who gave me this O-katana and if she doesn't meet you, just look for a mountain where the dragons meet...and I think you know what the stone is for back in Konoha. You know I would do that myself, but you know how it is." He said as he turned to leave, but stopped and looked at the only real father figure he had throughout his life. He then reached up to his mask and pulled it down to show Jiraiya his face, that had been covered since he was returned to Konoha from Orochimaru and even before that they found him with it on. "You're the only person alive now that have seen my face...the face of your son Jiraiya, I maybe Minato's Legacy but I see you as my true father and him as a birth father and a friend." Naruto said and put his mask in the right place. And started to walk off.

Jiraiya got a good look at his 'Son's' face. The left side underneath his eye had three whisker like birthmarks on his cheek. While underneath his right eye on his cheek was a dancing flame tattoo like birthmark, that continue to dance on his face. Jiraiya smiled and called out to him before Naruto fully disappeared from his sight. "You would have been a lady killer with those looks, just like me your old man!" As Naruto disappeared from his sight, a lone tear fell from the Gama Sennin's cheek. 'Yeah, you are just like me, just more hurt than I am.' He thought just before he too disappeared via reverse summoning, he didn't notice the other piece of paper that Naruto dropped .

Another figure appeared dropping down from a tree. His black cloak with red clouds blowing slightly in the wind. He reached down and picked up the paper that Naruto dropped. He read the the one word that was on the folded up part.

Itachi...

Uchiha Madara was not happy at the situation he was in...if it had not been for that pain in the side snake Orochimaru, the success rate of his plans would have gone up to close to one hundred percent of success. But somehow that snake had got his hands on the sample of the Lucifer cells Madara himself sealed away. Then he had stupidly injected them in the Kyuubi host thinking he could suppress the Kyuubi and take control of the body while the Kyuubi was sealed further. At the time only Madara knew what the Lucifer cells could do and why he couldn't control it like he could somewhat like the Kyuubi. Lucifer had thoughts of humans and wanted power for itself, Kyuubi was a beast and no thoughts like humans until... "Damn that hebi, made things impossible now." He cursed loudly as his Sharingan eyes spun around in annoyance. He then turned to the new presence he sensed teleport inside the room. He noticed the pair of Sharingan eyes that the new presence had and nodded. "Yes Itachi, what is it?" He asked, only to be handed a note.

If you are reading this, then I must assume you are either Itachi or Madara. If so, then I'll inform you that since your plans were derailed when Orochimaru fused me with the 'Satan cells'. Doing this however, caused our world to become unbalanced. Can't have a human with the power to take on the goddess Amaterasu or the god Tsukuyomi now can we? Oh I know all about the gods your cursed eyes steal from. Just so you know, sooner or later they will find out and they will come to destroy you. And since I will be gone, there's no way for you to fuse yourself with that Tengu. So, balance will once again become somewhat restored in this world. As for me, well you should know what I'm going to by now if you're reading this line. Does it just infuriate you, that one mistake caused you and your plans to fall into pieces and cause your death. Well, it makes me glad that I'm not the only one who will be suffering a long and agonizing death.

He crumbled up the paper before setting it on fire. "Damn you Namikaze...damn your son too." He said before sitting down in the chair to his left. He had to think of something and something fast.

Sarutobi Sasuke frowned at the news he had just received from his student. "He said that did he?" He asked and got a nod in return from Jiraiya. "I wouldn't put it pass him though, I did screw up and it had come back to not only bite me in my ass but someone I considered a grandson also." He said with a sad look on his face as he looked at the monument of the Hokages. "You think he'll be alright?"

"Yea Sarutobi-sensei, I did help him through the time where he wouldn't say or do anything. I never thought I would see someone so broken like that...It was like he was only seeing the scene over and over. The ghostly look in his eyes, it was like he died there too. Then one day after two years, he just got up and said he needed to search for something on his own for a while. He would keep in touch and after that, he disappeared off the face of the earth. I would get a messenger hawk of a Kage Bushin, and that was it. Just letters of how he was doing and how he would help people instead of killing people for a village that worked for money. In his letters he said something about living with a monk and two priestess', who he said that one was sadistic and the other was ditsy. Then a few days ago I got the message to meet him in Nami. And after talking and saying our goodbyes he showed me why he was such a lady killer with that smile." Jiraiya smiled as he thought about another series.

"He showed you his face?" Sarutobi asked surprised.

"Yeah, I bet he thought it was a sort 'remember me by this' sort of thing. But I know if he didn't wear that mask all the time, women would go crazy over his exotic look. Now sensei, I have one last thing to do for him." And with that Jiraiya disappeared.

Naruto stopped in-front of a door to a shop in the clearing of the forest. 'Guess this is the place that my body leads me.' He thought before he opened the door to see a beautiful young woman with long flowing black as night hair. She was wearing an elegant kimono with a blue and gold trimmed butterfly on the front of it.

"I've seen you have come for a wish to be granted. Such despair and hurt in one soul surrounded in darkness, tell me where is your light?" The beautiful woman asked.

"My light was put out before it shine like she was supposed to, so I've come here to see you Yūko-sama for a wish." Naruto said with a bow.

"Then follow me young one and we shall discuss the payment." The beautiful woman known as Yūko said as she lead him further into the store.

Naruto looked around and found that the store had a conformable taste of style as he was lead into a room. "So, this is The Dimension Witch's shop? I thought it wouldn't be so roomy and conformable." He muttered to himself and Yūko caught it.

"Appearances can be deceiving, as you know since you're a shinobi." Yūko said with a smile. "So tell me what is the wish you want?" She asked as she stepped into a room and sat down in a chair.

"I wish to meet the reincarnation of my love...Uchiha Makoto.

Jiraiya stood in-front of a grave. The grave was labeled with a simple gravestone that seemed incomplete. The writing on the gravestone though seemed to be clear as day as the shade from a nearby sakura tree gave it. The writing on the gravestone said 'Here lies Uchiha Makoto, my light and above all my love.' Jiraiya bent down and took out the stone Naruto had given him. It was a beautiful ruby as it reflected and absorbed all light that hit it. He then put the ruby into the slot at the bottom of the gravestone. He quickly backed his hand away as a flame appeared just in-front of the ruby and new writing appeared above the ruby. It said, 'May her light burn as hot as fire, and make the darkness of her loved ones disappear.' Jiraiya just shook his head as he stood up and turned away. "Kid, you still have some light in you if you go out of your way to make her conformable in death."

"I see, so you rather feel love than continue have a life after you die?" Yūko asked, only to get a nod from the masked young man in-front of her. "Then I will require a payment...that payment will be most of your power. Do you accept?" She asked and yet again get a nod from the young man. "Then this will hurt a lot." As soon as those words left her lips, Naruto felt pain unlike any he had felt before. It felt like the insides were being ripped out of him. He was bent over in pain as he held back his cries of pain. He was drifting towards unconsciousness but he looked up at Yūko and she had a sad smile on her face, before reaching up to his cheek and pushing him backwards. "Sleep, when you awake you will be on your quest with your sword Ginryu. Just give in to the unconsciousness and your wish will be granted." Was all he heard before he let his vision go black. As the ritual for his power finished it formed into a necklace with a pendent. The pendent on the necklace had a picture of a fox with six tails on it with the fox was a hawk with only one wing attacking a small dragon. Yūko took hold of the necklace and held in her hand as she sent Naruto through a portal. "Find your light young dragon and find your love." She then walked out the room and was met by two people. One was a boy with glasses around the age of sixteen or seventeen, while the other was a woman with long red hair that curled around like springs at the end.

"So, you sent him to where he wanted to go?" The red haired woman said. "And to think when my rain hit him, I could get a good picture of him." She said with a far away look in her eyes.

"Ah, so the Rain Spite has a crush for a customer of mine?" Yūko asked in a teasing way before turning to the boy. "Watanuki take this to the basement and put it on a hanger."

"Yes Yūko-san." The boy known as Watanuki said as he took the necklace and soon disappeared around the corner.

"So where did you send him Yūko?" The Rain Spite asked.

"Just to where he wished to go that is all." She said and she turned to the corner where Watanuki disappeared to and yelled. "Watanuki bring some sake back with you!" She then walked into a different room followed by the Rain Spite, but not before thinking 'Will you be able to truly balance yourself, the world, and your light like you balanced your Dimension?'

It had been about half a week since the failure of General Zhao on the siege of the north pole, and the defection of the banished Prince Zuko and General Iroh. Now it was her job to set out and gather the two and bring them back to her father, Fire Lord Ozai. She was the crown princess of the fire nation Princess Azula, and she was not happy at being the errand boy of her father for getting her brother and uncle. The thing was she had to be packed and ready to hunt down the two in two days. But what she was not happy about was the strange dream she had last night the same time the intruder appeared out of nowhere in-front of the Palace unconscious. Now, she had been called to go before her father once again after she had visited the prisoner. And she had done that earlier that morning and the dream from the night before had come back to hit her in her face.

Flash Back

Azula walked down the hall leading to the holding cells in the near by prison, and that's when she heard the sounds that made her become cautious about this "Night-time Intruder". As she turned the corner she was met with a sight that would have anyone a bit confused.

"I said give me my blade or I will snap this man's neck before he can even think about how he lived his life. And if you don't give me my blade soon, I can not promise that you or anyone else will be able to breathe. NOW HAND IT OVER!" She heard a boy about the same age as her yell and felt the burst from his aura that slapped her in the face. She couldn't get a good look at the boy, but she did get a good look at his hair color and the traveling cloak he wore. His hair was the strangest color, it was yellow with sliver streaks throughout it with black tips on one half of his head and crimson red tips for the other half. And that cloak was crimson, but at the bottom of it there were cuts and burns that looked like it had gone through war and came back. The guard who had the boy's blade handed it over and backed away as quickly as possible. Once the boy had the blade he let go of the guard he had in his hold and walked to the back of the cell and sat down. Azula could tell he was much calmer and relaxed once he grabbed his blade. As she approached the cell, the guards caught sight of her and bowed. Her eyes never left the boy as his head was low and hair covered his eyes. He sat with his legs crossed and his blade's hilt leaning on his right shoulder and the sheathed blade in-between his legs. Even as she approached his cell, the boy never looked up at her. That made her angry, because no one disrespected her.

"You, who are you and why did you come to the palace? Was it to assassinate me or my father?" She asked in a demanding tone. She got no reaction from the boy what so ever, and showed she was a bit irritated. "Fine, since you won't talk without any violence. HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU SOME!" At that she sent some fire at the boy, she smirked as the fire was about to engulf the boy but it soon faded as he did she had seen no one do except fire benders who had experience in weapons. At the last possible moment the boy's face shot up as did his body and cut her stream of fire in half with a quick draw of his blade. The thing that surprised her the most was that he had his eyes closed throughout the whole ordeal.

"What do you want?" The boy said in an icy cold tone as he started to open his eyes. As he opened his eyes and they met with hers, it seemed that everything just stay frozen in time as she remembered her dream from last night full force.

"Someone will come to see you..." She heard a voice say.

"Who are you? And why would someone would come to see me?" She yelled as the darkness around her became to close in.

"Someone will come to save you..." She heard the voice once more say.

"I do not need to be saved! I am my own savior! I form my own destiny!" She yelled and the darkness close around her faster.

"Someone will come to make you remember..." The voice speak once more.

"I don't need to remember anything! I am all I need I was born to be of greatness!" She yelled before the darkness grabbed hold of her feet and started to creep up her body.

"Someone will come to have you unlock your light and power..." The voice said as the darkness was about to take her head in it hold. Then it all faded away.

Two women who looked exactly like her if she was five or six more years older appeared. Instead of her amber eyes, one had crimson eyes while the other had violet eyes. "Someone will come to love you and make you balanced..." The women said before disappearing in black fire.

As everything came back to speed, she snapped out of her trance and got a good look at the boy's eyes. They were different colors, his left eye was trimmed in crimson around the outer iris and around the pupil. The rest of the iris was the most wonderful shade of blue she had ever seen. His right eye however was violet with the most unusual shade of blackish red for a pupil she had ever seen. She heard him say one word that was a name... "Makoto..." After that he snapped back to his icy cold manner and sat back down to his previous position. Luckily for her, the guards were behind her and never saw her surprised expression nor did they hear what the exotic boy said.

She turned and walked past them and spoke. "My father wants to see the prisoner, so escort him to the war room inside the palace and we will deal with him from there." She brushed the strands of hair that fell apart from her dark brown bangs that framed the front of her face. Before she left the hall though, she looked back at the cell and met the eyes of the exotic boy once more. 'Just who are you and why did that dream pop up when our eyes met?' She thought before she turned and left the prison hall.

End Flash Back

Now as she walked inside the war room of the palace, she saw her father, the prisoner from earlier, and one of the most skilled swordsman in the fire nation army. She walked up to the right of her father and bowed respectfully to him and sat down. She and her father turned to the prisoner as he spoke up. "As I asked her before what do you want?" His icy tone was even colder than she remembered from the time they met in the prison.

"Boy, you will show respect to Fire Lord Ozai." The swordsman said as he glared at the boy.

"Respect is earned through decisions and action, and he has yet to earn either in my eye." They boy said.

"Then how about you earn my respect first?" Ozai spoke surprising Azula and the swordsman. "Since you carry that strange blade I assume you know how to use it well. And since we do not any other of your abilities, you will have a spar with the crown Princess Azula." Ozai said making the two look at him.

"You just want to know my weaknesses from these fights in case I decide to go against you." The swordsman and Azula was appalled that this boy would even think that their Fire Lord would even think of that. While Ozai just smiled.

"So, you have seen many battles and lived through them. So how about it?" Ozai said as he looked the exotic masked boy in the eyes.

"Fine, but on three conditions." The masked boy said, getting an eyebrow raised from everyone inside the room.

"Okay, what are these conditions?" Ozai asked as he stared the boy in the eye.

"One: If I win the duel, I answer to no one but you or her." He said as he pointed to Azula. "Two: If I win the spar against her, I become her personal bodyguard. Since if she can't defeat someone like me, she'll need me to protect her." At hearing this Azula was visibly angry at the estimate of her skill and was about to speak out at the boy, but was not able to as he spoke again. "And three: If I win both the duel and spar, I and anyone I know who disappears with me are erased from history all of it...like we never existed." At this the swordsman and Azula were confused. Ozai nodded in agreement.

"Deal, we will now begin and you get no rest between the spar and duel." The boy then nodded and what the three could tell the boy smiled sadistically.

The boy and swordsman stood in front of each other just five feet between them. They then bowed and the swordsman unsheathed his broadsword. The boy just put his right on the hilt and tilted the sword slightly downward. The swordsman rushed the boy thinking to end it quick, but was sadly mistaken as the boy evaded every attack he did and left him holding his gut as a deep but thin cut appeared when the boy attacked. "How...I seen your attack and dodged it." He managed to speak out, but was still in lots of pain.

"Wind...it cuts as does fire burns and lightning stuns." The boy said before sheathing his blade and looked slightly winded. "Hmmm, she took more than expected for payment. I shouldn't be this winded so quickly." He mumbled as he got into a stance across from Azula.

'So he's tired, but that speed he showed was no joke. I can not underestimate him like that fool did.' She thought before she spoke. "So, what is your name prisoner?" She looked into his eyes and only say coldness.

"It's polite to introduce oneself before asking for a name of an other." The boy said in a monotone voice, getting a smile that promised pain from Azula.

"Azula, Crown Princess of the Fire Nation. But you already knew that last part." Her smile never leaving her face.

"Uzumaki Naruto...Bakemono no Kage or Akuma no Konoha." Naruto said as he eyes steeled and ready to defend himself.

Azula sent a wide stream at Naruto, who jumped over it and sent gust of wind at her. She canceled out his gust with a wall of fire that was gone as soon as it hit the wind. She then kicked at him sending a whip of fire from her heel. Naruto then countered with a wave of fire of his own to cancel out. As Ozai saw this he was surprised not only did this Naruto boy use airbending, but he used firebending as well. 'Just what other things can you do boy? And why hide your face with that mask?' Ozai pondered as he continue to watch the fight.

Azula and Naruto trading blow for blow with their fire. Naruto was starting to tire fast. 'How is she able to keep this up? How much chakra does this girl have? Not even Makoto had this much...wait she's not using chakra, I would be feeling spikes from her attacks so that means she and every other person who can control the elements here uses some other energy. But what is it, and I have to find out quick or I'm going to get burned. And I will not even try to use their chakra no matter what.' Narutothought quickly as he evaded and stuck back from Azula's attacks.

"Tired are we? Just give it up before you get burned." Azula said as she pressed on.

Naruto was watching her movements carefully and noticed she moved with a grace that was aggressive, yet controlled. He also noticed she took deep breaths since the beginning of the match and exhaled as she threw fire at him. Then it all clicked for him, she wasn't using chakra like he was. She was using a balance of natural energy from the elements with spirit energy. He smirked inwardly as he found out the way she wasn't tiring as fast as he was. He inwardly cursed Yūko for taking so much of his power, but thanked her at the same time. He loved being pushed to his limits and had to find them all over and exceed them and refine his abilities once again. But he had to use nature to help him, something he had only done a handful of times before. He smirked as he remembered his 'Kaa-san' and his aunt 'Mou-chan' he was really happy he left them both something to remember him by. He then jumped back ten feet from Azula and stood straight.

As Azula saw this she rose her brow and thought he was going to give up, but was mistaken when Naruto closed his eyes and started to take deep breaths. She then felt a force build up around her like when she uses her lightning. So, she prepared her own lightning strike by clearing her mind and emotions. She then charged up her lightning and was about to shoot when Naruto opened his eyes and felt the energy from him.

Naruto felt the energy around him, from the air, from the trees, and most importantly the sun. He then concentrated to refill his reserves and for a blow that would subdue his opponent. He concentrated and felt lightning form in his hands and willed it to form into balls. He opened his eyes and felt the energy surge through and he charged Azula as his energy flared. "Rationgan!"(2) He yelled as he charged.

Azula soon shook out of her shock, and shot her lightning at him. What surprised her was when he shoved the ball of lightning in his left hand into her bolt and watched as the two canceled each other out. But the after shock left his arm riddled with lightning and watch as he continued to charge even as whole left arm was covered in lightning like it was wrapped in wire. Before she could snap out of her state of shock, he was upon her holding the ball of lightning to her chest. 'So fast and such mastery over lightning. How was he able to control it like that? And such a tolerance for pain, to take the aftershock of that blast would make anyone paralyzed and screaming in pain. Yet, he just shook it off like a punch.' She thought before he spoke.

"Do you concede? If not, this will hurt a lot...it's better to walk away, while still being able to walk than be in a bed with third degree burns and paralysis." Naruto said as he looked into her amber eyes. 'I could never do that to you, you look so much like her. I didn't think you would look exactly like her. I guess irony has come to show his head again.' He inwardly sighed as he got a nod from her and canceled the lightning ball. He stood up straight and faced Ozai, but not before bowing to Azula. "I believe we have a deal to uphold Fire Lord?" Naruto asked and Ozai nodded with a grin on his face.

"Such power and mastery over two elements for someone so young. I'd have to say you are a genius like Azula here. As for our deal, it will be upheld. Uzumaki Naruto was it?" Ozai asked as his own amber eyes looked into Naruto's multicolored ones, as Naruto nodded. "How do you know both Airbending and Firebending?" Ozai asked.

Naruto's gaze never left Ozai's eyes. "I was trained from a very early age to use wind, fire, and lightning. So I could be a perfect assassin for the village I served for...then after they betrayed me, I left and never returned. To this day, I am marked for death or flee on sight in their books." He said unblinkingly.

Ozai just nodded as he could tell that the boy was telling the truth. "Azula, Naruto here will accompany you on your mission to gather your brother and uncle for their treason. If you encounter the Avatar you have full authority to eliminate him. Also you can help with any attempts to invade Ba Sing Se with the resources available to you since I trust your strategic mind. Naruto since you are injured I will hold off the department for another week." At this Ozai he expected both of them to bow and leave, but only Azula bowed and Naruto looked like he was ready to speak.

"A delay won't be necessary, I am abnormally fast healer and shall be ready to leave tomorrow. No need to prolong something that is of importance." He said with a bow.

Ozai just grinned, as he saw the boy was serious. 'You are a mysterious one Uzumaki Naruto, I wonder if your mind is as sharp or sharper than your skills.' Ozai pondered before speaking. "Good, then you two shall leave at the scheduled time. You two are dismissed." They both bowed and respectfully said "Yes Fire Lord." Before leaving.

The two walked in silenced as they left the war room. That was when Azula spoke up. "How did you do that with the lightning? You were about to faint from exhaustion, yet you pull off a feat not many could." She asked him as she stopped in front of him.

"It was something I learned to do. Draw upon the elements and use them to the most effective way. As for the ball shapes, they are the most effective shape. They compact and expel the energy upon impact and the most simple shape that comes to mind. Now, may you lead me to where I will be staying until we set off on our mission?" He asked her, only to get a look of hatred instead.

"You may have won the match, but it gives you no right to talk to me in such disrespect. I will defeat you in a rematch and I suggest you use that weird blade of yours. Because if you don't, you'll walk away with more than a burnt up arm." She then turned and tried to leave, only to be grabbed and held to the wall.

"I didn't mean to disrespect you, but when you threaten me you knock on death's door. Be grateful, that I have my reasons for not teaching a harder lesson than I did in that match." He said as his cold multicolored eyes bore into her amber ones.

"What scared of my father? Afraid that'll he put you to death for hurting his daughter?" She asked mockingly.

Naruto's eyes grew colder and it scared her. She was petrified with fear from the look of those eyes, they were worst than her father's. "I fear no man, I don't fear death either, the only thing I fear is my own demons. And pray or wish you never find out what they are, or else you will fear them also. This is not a threat, this is a warning do not think I am scared of men. I live my own life with my own fears, as do you. Now, as why do I not hurt you? It's because I am supposed to protect you. And I will even if it brings me to death." With that Naruto let her go.

Azula caught her breath as she felt the aura that leaked out of Naruto, it was suffocating yet addictive at the same time. She looked at the masked multicolored haired boy and nodded. 'Again he shows such power, but holds back as if something will change him. Still with someone like him to watch my back, it will make things easier.' She thought before straighten up and walked in front of Naruto. "You will stay in my brother's room since has been empty for some years now. I shall get you before we leave tomorrow, and make sure you're ready because I wait for no one." She said then lead him to his room.

However, before he went into his room he stopped and stared at the door. "It's true, I won't let you die as long as you're in my sight. Nor will I betray you, I can't let something that happened to her happen to you." He said before he opened his door and disappeared.

Azula just stood there for a minute confused at what he meant. 'Won't let something that happened to her happen to me? Just who are you talking about, and what happened?' She thought before turning and leaving to her room.

Naruto sat on the bed inside the room as he laid his O-katana Ginryu next to him with his only functioning hand at the moment. His left hand was blackened and was unresponsive to any action he had willfully tried to move it. 'The paralysis will last a bit longer than expected, but it should be healed tomorrow still sore and stiff. The discoloration will return to normal, but still have a slight pink hue due to the new skin cells. All in all, a bit more damage than expected from canceling out the bolt instead of absorbing and redistributing the energy.' He thought as he examined the arm. He was about to lay down when his eye caught a picture. It was a picture of four people in a group picture. There was a younger Ozai and Azula in the picture with a young boy and beautiful young woman that seemed to be Ozai's wife. As he examined the picture further he saw that the boy was older than Azula by about two years. He suspected his was her brother that was a traitor. Before long, his eyes lingered on the locket on Ginryu. He took it in his right hand as the slight red glow from the 666 tattoo lit up the small area the locket was located. He used his thumb to press a button on the side of the locket and it opened. There were two pictures inside of it. The picture on the left side of the locket was that of a young Naruto. His mask present, but something else was there also. There was a ruby over his head as he had an eye smile and smile present, this itself looked like an alien to his cold manner but seemed to be real none the less. On the right side of the locket had a young girl about the age of seven. She had long dark brown hair, that was held in a high ponytail as it flowed down from the back and the sides with two bangs that framed the front of her face. (3) Her fully developed crimson Sharingan eyes seemed to spin even in the picture. As her smile seemed to make the picture brighter. Above her head were a ruby, an amethyst stone, and a sapphire jewel. He gazed at the locket for about a minute more before closing it and draping Ginryu on his lap as he drifted to the land of dreams...or in his case nightmares.

Naruto stood in-front of a body of a young girl, blood pooled around her and burns on her front. The look on her face was that of a crying woman, who was crying to a lover. The the expression changed to that of contempt. Like she wanted to die and see her lover for the last time before she did. Naruto looked at the body not seeing one girl, but two identical but dressed differently and had different hairstyles. That was when he noticed their eyes, one girl had crimson eyes and was older than he remembered her. While the other seemed to be a year older and had amber eyes. Then he heard the voices. "I guess I can't keep that promise to you Naruto...I hope you don't hold it against me." The crimson eyed woman said as she laid in front of him. "I guess we can't disappear and live that life you offered me...guess you can't save me this time like those last times eh? I wasn't ready for death, but if I go seeing you then this monster can rest peacefully." The amber eyed girl said as she laid there. Naruto knew what he was seeing...the past in one eye and what could be the future in the other. He shook his head as he tried to will away the image in front of him. Unfortunately, it did not do so as a three tailed fox strolled onto the scene.

"You and I both know that the past repeats itself...but this time, you will hand over control to me. As we both know once she dies all hope is lost. The shadows of death are already upon her, it will be interesting how she dies...And we'll be there to see it." The fox said as it had an evil grin on the muzzle. Then a one winged crow landed on the scene before turning into an identical Naruto with one black wing and a flame tattoo moving as if a real flame on his face. There was a tattoo of 666 on his forehead in a triangle formation.

"Just give it up and cause chaos and destruction. Or just concur all with our power and rule it all. We all know we have the power to so, just give into the darkness or be consumed by it,there is no other way." The clone of Naruto with the black wing said as he too had an evil smirk on his mouth.

Naruto just fell to his knees as more images appeared, they were ranging from scenes of betrayal to death of innocents from his hands. "NO! I WON'T BE CONTOLED LIKE A PUPPET!" He yelled as all the images shattered like a mirror. Now, only the fox, clone, and Naruto were there surrounded by darkness that never ended nor had any light. He rose up to his feet and looked at the two monsters in front of him. "It's true that once she dies it's over...but as long as I have control and breath in my body, I will make sure I die before she dies. And I'll make sure it's from old age!" He yelled at the two.

"Fine, just be on guard now. Because the shadows that once protected you will now try to consume you." The fox said. It walked backwards with a snicker as the darkness engulfed it.

"Either way, I still get to cause chaos and destruction. It's just a waiting game now." The one winged Naruto said as it too was engulfed by the darkness with an evil smirk ever present on his face.

Naruto woke with a start as the sun shone through the window. He looked at his left arm and saw it was pink with new skin on it. He could move it normally, but wouldn't be to its fullest until mid afternoon or after sun set. He sighed as he rose from the bed in a cold sweat. He then walked over to bathroom located on the other side of the room. He then stripped and went into the shower, his O-katana leaning a foot away from the shower.

Azula was walking down the hall on her way to Naruto's room to leave since she wanted to get the mission started. She arrived and knocked on the door a couple times. After about three minutes and getting now answer, she tried to open the door which she found unlocked and walked in. She found the room empty, but the bathroom door was slightly open. She heard the shower being turned off and shortly after, Naruto came out of the bathroom with his pants on and his body suit on up to his waist and his shirt absent. His mask was there and a towel hanging from his neck and his blade held by his left hand, which she could tell was somewhat healed. As he took a step into the room, she got a good once over his body. He had an athletic muscular build, his abs were toned and shown that he worked out daily. His hair still damp and riddled with water, had drops of water fall off and define the masked boy. All she could do was look, at a perfect built teenage boy as he stepped into the room.

Naruto just looked at Azula with tired eyes as he noticed she kept looking him over. "Give me a minute to get ready, and we can leave after." He said as he walked over to the bed and took out a scroll. He focused chakra into his palm as he laid it upon the scroll. A small 'poof' later and out came another shirt. It was identical to the one he had on yesterday, but only clean.

As he laid his hand on the scroll, Azula noticed a tattoo on his hand and his stomach. The one on his hand glowed while the one on his stomach appeared. As soon as the tattoo on his stomach appeared it disappeared. The glowing tattoo stopped too. She was mesmerized at how mysterious the two tattoos reacted. However before she could ask about the two, Naruto was dressed in his new shirt and bodysuit fully on and walking out the room with his cloak being straightened on his person and weapon at his side. She soon caught up with him. "We're leaving right away, so they'll be food on the boat." She said getting a nod from him as he secured his blade on the back of his waist. He then threw the scroll he had into the flowing cloak. She expected it to hit the ground, but it seemed to disappear in thin air. She also noticed he looked tired. "Are you alright? If not, I don't want anything to hold back this mission. I will leave with or without you." She had crossed her arms as she spoke and strode ahead of him.

He just walked aside of her and spoke. "It'll take nightmares that remind me of the past to keep out of fighting condition. And I try to keep the hurtful past where it belongs in the past...and death agrees with me." He mumbled the last part, which Azula caught but barely.

She just rose an eyebrow at the phase and decided to question him about it later, now they had to get on the royal ship and get ready to depart.

A/N: Ah, finally done with this chapter for this story. The day is the 6th or 7th of August. And I started writing this in what the middle of July or the beginning of July. Either way I finished this chapter. Now time to edit the parts that I added too soon and ads some parts to make this chapter make a bit more sense. Yes, I know Naruto is a bit emo, but he's emo in the way that you need drugs to feel better. More of his past will be reviled in the next chapter or so. All of his past will be reviled on a chapter towards the end of the story. Yes, this is a Avatar: The Last Airbender Naruto crossover. I started to write this after the series finale, which I think was good but could have been better. I mean, they never show what happened to bad ass Azula! They say she's spending the rest of her days in a crazy bin...I think Zuko did her off. Any sane person with a fear of someone coming from the past that is stronger than you when they are focused then yeah, he killed her. If you haven't guessed this is a Naruto Azula pairing, and you'll see why soon enough. Naruto was super and all powerful, before Yūko took most of his power, Kyuubi's, and Lucifer's powers also. The reason Naruto can use fire and lightning is because Kyuubi is born of fire and Lucifer strikes like lightning fast and deadly. Don't expect him to relay on this all the time though, he does have Ginryu and his combat skills. As you will see in the upcoming fights. I also figured why don't I use a similar thing to sage chakra? And thought about it carefully, since Benders use nature to have them use the elements, I made Naruto figure this out and use physical and nature energy to have him form the Raitongan. (Lightning Release: Sphere) Now onto why 666 Satan or known as O-parts Hunter comes into play. Since Kishimoto's twin brother is a genius and made his manga better than his brother's, I have to use this. And I kept to Satan's job corrupt and cause chaos or destroy. Also, try to take over the world, can't forget that. And later in the story, you'll find how I think why the Kyuubi is evil as it is now. I thought this over and over and found this a great and only possibility why Kyuubi would help the Senju brothers and Uchiha Madara. You'll also find out how Madara found the Satan cells.

Now, I will rant on how I was robbed by Kishimoto...If you read my story 'The 8 and 9 tails Love and Friendship', and read my OC down to the dot he is basically a black male, who raps, has long hair, and uses multiple swords. HE IS ALSO THE 8 tailed jinchuuriki. And since I didn't like an eight tailed snake I changed it to a dragon, which it is also called at times! Now after I read the manga that came out a week ago, (Date is the 8th of August) I found out that the 8 tailed jinchuuriki is a Black male, has long dreads, raps, and USES MULTPLE SWORDS! Was I ripped off? Yes. Will I sue? No, because I know it would be useless...hey at least we know where he got his idea for that character...ME!

Also, if you're reading this than I released this story after I finished 'No Need For Jinchuuriki!'.
