Ok, so here's the deal. I was just typing way, working on some of my stories when I thought of this idea and to be honest, I feel like I am the first to do such an idea, so it might not be as popular as I think it will be, but I won't know if I try it. So I wrote a first chapter and will allow you all to pass on judgment! Good day!

It was a sunny day, and it was hot for your average day in the Earth Kingdom. The sun blazed high in the sky and the wind slightly blew, carrying leafs along with it. A few local animals were using the trees nearby by to cool themselves. Through the lightly forested area, was a dirt road and walking on that dirt road was a boy. His features were hidden by the brown cloak that covered his hair and cast a shadow over his face, preventing anyone from seeing his features. The cloak itself was a bit tattered, with a few holes here and there. His height, however, was not hidden. He stood at a respectable 4'3, a bit on the short side considering his age, but one should never underestimate someone based on their height.

"Damn, it's pretty hot out today; I hope the next town is close." The boy said as he pulled out a canteen and drank some water from it. As he kept on to his path, he could feel that he was nearing civilization again. Sighing to himself, he allowed himself to relax. He had been on his journey for quite a while now and he didn't want to end it by just dying in the middle of nowhere. As he neared the town, he overheard some of the merchants talking about local businesses, local news and more importantly, the war.

"Gaoling...I've heard of this town before. Apparently the people here are quite relaxed, untouched by the flames of war..." The boy thought grimly. It was so odd to find people who were to oblivious to the pain and suffering that the war was causing, but who was he to question them? He himself had never seen war.

"I should find a place to st-" He was cut off rather rudely as someone bumped into him.

"Sorry about that!" He heard the offender apologize before taking off. Shaking his head, he had better things to do, like finding a place to stay, but first, he needed to know how much money he had left. He had spent a few coins along the way, so he wasn't sure how much he had left. Reaching into the pocket of his cloak, he froze and checked his other pocket; again, nothing made contact with his hand. It took him a while before he realized what had happened.

"Ah fuck all kinds of ducks...I was pick-pocketed..." He swore. Dammit, there goes his money.

"Guess, I'll have to find another way of spending the next few days." He muttered as he began to walk around the town. Maybe he could find that man who robbed him, but then again, the chances of that happening were pretty slim as he had noticed that this was quite a large town. He wandered around town as he took in the gossip around him. He did hear about someone calming to be the Avatar in town and he was looking for an Earth Bender.

"All they way out here? He would have a better time trying to find one in the Capitol." The Boy thought as he kept on walking. He didn't want to get swallowed up into whatever the hell was going on. He simply wanted to spend a few days here before skipping town.

"Hey, did you hear? There's gone be another tournament happening tonight." The boy stopped as he turned towards the two men who were having tea while talking about some tournament.

"Really? I hear the last one didn't go all that well." The second man said as he drank some tea.

"Yeah, but I made quite a bit of money. There's this Earth Bender that goes by the name of the Blind Bandit and she's one of the best Earth Benders I have ever seen. She has practically beaten everyone on the tournament before!" The first man said as the boy hummed.

"Blind Bandit...this could prove to be interesting..." The boy thought as he walked up to the two men.

"Excuse me, but can you please tell me the location of where this tournament is being held?" The boy questioned as the two men look towards him.

"What? You want see it?" One of the men questioned, looking at the boy as if trying to get a read on him.

"No, I would like to fight in it." The boy responded as the two men blinked before laughing.

"Kid, the tournament is for Earth Benders, run back home to your mother boy." The second man stated as he started to calm down. The boy frowned slightly before he brought up his hand.

"I am an Earth Bender." He said as floated a few rocks in the palm of his hand. The two men blinked before one of them coughed.

"Ok...well, just come back here by sundown and we will lead you there." The first man said as the boy nodded and thanked them before wandering off. He explored the town for the remainder of his time. Soon, the sun began to set and the boy made his way back to the tea shop he had met those men.

"You sure you want to go kid?" One of the men questioned as the boy nodded. The two men shrugged.

"Your funeral kid." One of them said as they began to head off to the tournament. Night had soon fallen and the boy, along with the two men, found themselves walking through a tunnel. At first glance, this might have been a trap, but the boy knew better. He could feel the many people within this mountain. It seemed like the location of this tournament was quite secret. Finally reaching the end of the tunnel, he could hear the cheering of the audience as the fight raged on the rectangular field in the middle of the stadium. Walking closer to the center, he quickly identified the man in-change.

"I want to fight." The boy simply stated as the man looked down at him with calculating eyes.

"How much you betting on yourself?" The man questioned, he wasn't one to be fooled by appearances.

"None and I want to fight the so called Blind Bandit." The boy answered as the many raised an eyebrow, but shrugged. It didn't matter to him as the fight would bring more audience. The boy merely stood, as a few fights carried on before his turn finally arrived.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Give it up for the reigning Champion! The Blind Bandit!" The announcer said as a young girl with fogy eyes walked onto the field with a gold belt around her waist. The crowd cheered as she proudly displayed the gold belt. The boy stood up as he made his way to the tournament.

Fighting her is a new and unknown fighter! Give it up for...what's his name again?" The announcer questioned as everyone stopped cheering and questioned as to who was this unknown fighter was, however they all focused their gaze back onto field as the boy walked onto it. He still had his cloak on, so they weren't able to see his features.

"What's your name new guy?" The Blind Bandit questioned as she crossed her arms and gave him a cocky look. The boy in question just smirked as he got into his stance.

"That's for me to know and you to find out." He replied as the girl growled before she sent a bolder his way. The unknown fighter however cocked his right fist back before shooting it out and smashing the incoming bolder. He quickly did a follow up attack by quickly sending the smashed pieces of the bolder back at the girl, who quickly formed an Earth Wall to stop the incoming projectiles. However, to her surprise some of the pieces punched through the wall, though she quickly brought up her right hand and formed a secondary shield, though she was pushed back by the force of the attack.

"Maybe you should try going on the offensive?" The boy questioned as he readied for another attack. The girl narrowed her eyes before spitting on the ground and smashed her right foot into the ground as a few small boulders shot up. She jumped and quickly kicked each of the boulders, which shot off towards the boy in many different pieces.

"Dodge this!" She yelled as the boy didn't do nothing but stand there. Taking in a deep breath, the boy began to dodge each and every one of the boulder pieces. Spinning around of them the flying pieces, he quickly grabbed it before sending it back towards her. It was destroyed as the girl brought up small square shaped rock and rapidly began to send them towards him. Seeing that it would difficult trying to dodge the closely packed barrage, he quickly brought up his hands and brought forth an Earth Wall to block the incoming attack. Seeing that his wall wouldn't last long, he narrowed his eyes as he tried to sense where the girl was.

"Got ya!" His eyes widened as he looked up to the source of the voice. He had little time as the girl landed right behind and quickly brought up a rock pillar to shoot him out of the field, however he wasn't you average Bender. He quickly shot forward, but his cloak got caught in by the pillar and was pulled off of him.

"Dammit, that was my favorite cloak!" The boy yelled as he sighed and stood back up. His hair was now free from the confines from the hood of his cloak and revealed it to be as bright as the sun. His face was heart shaped, clearly inheriting it from his mother. However, it was the eyes that caught everyone's attention. Just like the Blind Bandit's eyes, his were cloudy as well, but they were more along the lines of faded blue. People began to mummer and mutter about another blind Earth Bender, which the girl quickly picked up.

"You're blind too?" She questioned as the boy frowned, but was ready to fight.

"Guilty as charged." He answered as he moved slide his feet right feet and pillars of Earth started to shoot up behind the girl in a half circle. He then made a few quick movements with his hand and pieces of Earth started to fly off from the pillars created behind her and the ground around her. She tried to defend herself to the best of her abilities, however it was too much. The amount of Earth that was being thrown at her was too much and it quickly began to cover her. Little up little, she found her entire lower body encased in Earth. However, to make sure that she stayed immobilized, he created four walls around her and closed them in on her. The rock that had kept her down began to compact and it was now crushing her.

"Time to end this." He said as he slammed his left feet into the ground and raised the small square plate form, on which the girl was incased in, and with great force, pushed it off the field and into the seats on the other side of the field. He exited his stance and stood straight, but kept his head tilted forward and his eyes staring the ground ahead of him. It seems like he was really blind.

"L-Ladies and Gentlemen! In an unprecedented turn of events, the Blind Bandit has lost! The winner of this tournament is! Ah, can we get a name please?" The announcer questioned as the boy turned around to leave, but stopped and turned his head slightly to the announcer, as if knowing where the man was.

"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." The now named Naruto Uzumaki answered as he began to make his way out. He didn't care much for the reward for the tournament.

"Wait! Don't you want the reward money?" The announcer questioned as Naruto stood and a rain cloud formed over him. He needed the money.

"The next time I get mugged, I am going to beat the living shit out of the mugger..." He muttered as he angrily grabbed the bag filled with golden coins. He turned around and started to make his way out, however he quickly ducked as a boulder flew over him. Turning around, he felt the very girl that he had beaten land roughly.

"You!" She said angrily, it seems like she was pretty angry. He pointed to himself.

"Me what?" He questioned as he could feel the glare of the hot-headed girl.

"I want a rematch!" She answered angrily. Yeah, she was pretty pissed and it seemed like she was the type that would not take no for an answer.

"Fine, there's a clearing near the woods south of the town. That's where we will have our rematch tomorrow, Blind Bandit." He said simply as he began to make his way out. The girl growled angrily.

"The names Toph!" She yelled out as Naruto turned his head to her.

"Got it, Shorty." He said with a smirk and quickly ducked as another boulder flew over him. He chuckled as Toph fumed in anger. Just who the hell did this guy think he is? This town had room for only one blind Earth Bender!

Was this good? I hope it was! Also, I will be working on some of my other smaller stories, so don't expect one of bigger two stories to be updated around this week. Sorry, but I want to take a small break from it, don't want to end up with writers block and shout out to my beta editor! God my stories would be a mess with his help. Well that is all! Bye!
