The Avatar and the Jinchuriki Chapter 4
The voice in the night.
It is night at Air Temple Island and Korra is sleeping soundly but she gets out of bed when a chi blocker breaks in through her window. She looks and sees two more break in through her door. Korra tried to fire bend at them but the evaded her attacks. She kept attacking but one came up behind her and chi blocked her. Korra fell to her knees and opened her eyes and looked up. Amon then came into view and stood in front Korra.
"After I take your bending away you will nothing" Amon said he reached for Korra who had a look of horror on her face.
"AHHHHHHH!" Korra woke up with a scream.
Korra was breathing as she looked and saw Nagga licking her hand.
"It's... it's alright Nagga I just had a bad dream" Korra said hugging Nagga.
"Korra are you okay I heard you scream?" Naruto asked as he came in the door.
"Naruto… Yeah I'm fine I just had a bad dream" Korra said as she looked at him.
"It was about Amon wasn't it?" Naruto asked and Korra's eyes widened.
"No it was just a bad dream" Korra said.
"You can't lie to me water princess you can't lie to me. Grandma Toph taught me more than just throwing rocks" Naruto said knowing she was lying to him.
"Naruto I just don't want to talk about it okay" Korra said aggressively.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell" Korra apologized.
"You know it's okay to be afraid. I was and still am. If I hadn't gotten out that night I would have lost my bending too" Naruto said.
"I'm not afraid" Korra lied.
"Okay just know that I am here when you want to talk about it, But if you need protecting I could always keep you company" Naruto said Korra turned red and was ready to go and punch him but he was already out the door.
"Damn that pretty boy" Korra muttered and went back to sleep
Naruto entered his room and flopped on his bed.
"I hope Korra will be okay" Naruto said to himself.
Then Naruto heard a banging on his window. He went to open it but when he did he was assaulted by a tongue.
"Hey bud good to see you" Naruto said to the black dragon outside.
The dragon growled a hello.
"You want to go flying don't you?" Naruto asked.
The dragon nodded excitedly.
"Okay just let me get ready" Naruto said.
When Naruto was dressed in his regular clothes he went outside and met up with the dragon.
The dragon growled excitedly jumping and running around.
"Toothless calm down I know it has been a while since we last flew but that was your fault. You are the one who disappears all the time" Naruto said.
(Now those of you wanting to go to the review section and type in WTF's about why Toothless is in this just keep reading and you will find out but for now just know that how to train your dragon is one of my favorite movies there was also a How to train your dragon and Legend of Kporra crossover story I want to do and wanted some of it in my story and didn't want to make a whole new story)
Naruto got on Toothless back and put his foot on the lever controlling Toothless tail because one of his tail fins was damaged once and needed to be replaced.
They flew over the water then got to the shore of republic city. They flew in between the buildings and caught the attention of people who were still awake but this didn't surprise the people because they knew of Naruto and his dragon Toothless.
"So bud you want to try to break our record?" Naruto asked.
Toothless growled in agreement.
"I knew you would agree" Naruto said.
Naruto checked a clock on the side of a building.
They then started to take up speed flying higher and higher until they were above the clouds.
Naruto then jumped off of Toothless and they started to fall fast. Naruto looked at Toothless and smiled at him. Toothless smiles a toothless smile at Naruto. They looked down and saw the water coming fast.
Naruto then moved and got back on Toothless and pulled up they pulled just as they were about to hit the water.
As they flew at a more relaxed pace over the city Naruto looked at the clock again.
"Yes we beat our record. You have gotten faster buddy" Naruto said as he scratch Toothless on the side of his neck. Naruto then steered Toothless back to Air temple island.
"Let's head back I am tired and want a few more hours of sleep" Naruto said.
They landed on the island and Naruto got off Toothless and headed inside
"Okay bud night. I'll take you on another flight later" Naruto said.
Toothless growled in agreement and walked off to where he slept.
(Next morning council room)
"There is a mad man running around Republic city threatening to tear it apart. We need to create a task force whose sole mission it to find Amon and bring him to justice" Tarrlok said.
"Absolutely not a move that aggressive would only further divide benders and non benders" Tenzin said completely against the idea.
"Tarrlok I'm inclined to agree with your proposal but who would even head up such a task force?" An elderly women asked.
"It would be my honor and privilege to except such a duty" Tarrlok said as he stood and bowed.
"This is just another one of your ploys to gain more power isn't it?" Tenzin accused.
"All I'm trying to do is help. Think back 42 years ago Republic city was threatened by another dangerous man Yakone your father wasn't afraid to deal with him head on" Tarrlok said turning to Tenzin.
"This is a completely different situation and how dare you compare yourself to Avatar Aang?" Tenzin said now angered.
"Amon is not going to stop with the bending triads. Eventually he will come for all us benders, our friends our families. Vote for this task force and I will stop Amon before it's too late. All in favor" Tarrlok said.
Tarrlok and the other three council members raised their hands the only one who didn't was Tenzin.
Tarrlok smiled as Tenzin scowled.
(Later that night)
Korra was practicing her air bending stances when the voice of Amon spoke on the radio.
"My fellow equalists this is your leader Amon. As you've hared the Republic council has voted to make me public enemy number one. Proving once again that the bending oppressors of this city will stop at nothing to quash our revolution. But we cannot be stopped. Pour numbers grow stronger by the day. You no longer have live in fear. The time has come for benders to experience fear" Amon said.
Korra listened in fear as her eyes were wide and sweat rolled down her face.
( The next day)
Korra was sitting on a rock near the shore just thinking when she heard cheering coming from not far away. Curious about it Korra got up and fallowed the noise. She to an open area and saw the air bender kids with a basket of fish looking up at the sky.
"Hey what are you three doing?" Korra asked.
"Watching Naruto" Jinora said.
This confused Korra if they were watching Naruto then why were they looking at the sky. Suddenly she started to hear a screeching noise then out of nowhere a black blur came and fired a ball of fire at a target. As the blur went by Korra saw wings spread out. As the creature circled Korra saw Naruto on its back. The creature landed as the air bender kids cheered and Korra could see that the creature was a dragon. Korra was shocked why was Naruto riding a dragon.
"Naruto that was so cool you just went woosh then zip then pow" Ikki said exited.
"Yay for destruction" Meelo said kicking the charred remains of the target.
"Naruto that was amazing I think Toothless went faster this time" Jinora said.
"Thanks Jinora" Naruto smiled at her and Jinora blushed.
"Naruto since when do you have a dragon?" Korra said.
Naruto turned to face her. "Oh hey water princess to answer your question I found him when I was little. We have been friends ever since" Naruto said as he patted Toothless on the head.
"Okay so why is he called toothless?" Korra asked.
"Because this. Toothless smile" Naruto said as he turned to Toothless.
Toothless then did a large open mouth smile and Korra saw that he had no teeth.
"Aww" Korra said as she saw how cute it was.
"So how did you meet each other?" Korra asked.
"Well it started when I was four years old a month after me and Naruko started earth bending training with mom and grandma Toph" Naruto said.
(Flash back begin)
(Beifong Mansion)
"Naruto, Naruko" Lin Beifong called out. She had gotten off work early and wanted to stend some time with her kids. When she got home she noticed it was completely quiet which was not normal because her kids were usually making some sort of noise or they were at the door to greet her with hugs and smiles.
"Mother" Lin called out and heard the sound of movement confirming that Toph was awake.
As Toph came down the stairs she gave Lin a look.
"Oh no what have those two done now?" Lin asked with a sigh. As Naruto and Naruko got older they developed a knack for getting into trouble intentionally or unintentionally, mainly Naruto.
"You ever notice how we are always missing a few fish whenever we buy food?" Toph asked.
Lin's face faltered "Their stealing food? Why on earth would they do that?" Lin said aloud.
Food was never a problem for the family. Naruto and Naruko had very large appetites so food was always bought in bulk so it was strange to hear that both her children were stealing food for no reason.
"Think about it two kids taking food without their mother noticing" Toph said grinning as her daughter struggled to figure it out.
After a few moments Lin finally made the connection. "They have a pet?" Toph nods in confirmation.
Lin was not happy Naruto had repeatedly asked for a pet but Lin didn't think he was responsible yet. Lin was heading up the stairs to Naruto's and Naruko's room when Toph called after her.
"Before you go skin the kids alive let them explain themselves" Toph said.
"Mother they went behind my back and got a pet without my permission" Lin said with irritation.
"Think about it for a second first. They are two kids in this big house with just me, your at work all day and their only friend lives on the other side of the city can you really blame them for wanting a companion" Toph told her daughter.
Lin took a second to think about it and knew her mother was right. She then turned and continued to walk up the stairs with Toph grinning behind her.
(Naruto and Naruko's room)
Lin opens the door and sees her kids on the floor playing a game of Pi sho when they turn their heads to see their mother.
"MOMMY" They shout in unison and ran to hug her with Lin gladly returning it.
"I know about the pet" Lin said the smiles immediately leaving Naruto and Naruko's faces.
"Where sorry mommy but he was all alone and had no where else to go" Naruto stated frantically.
"Calm down Naruto just because I am mad doesn't mean you can't keep him" Lin said shocking Naruto and Naruko.
"Really?" They both ask at the same time.
"Yes now lets see him" Lin said with a small smile.
"Toothless come on out bud" Naruto called out and a creature no bigger than a fire ferret came out from under the bed. Lin thought it was some sort of cat or something but then she saw the wings.
"A dragon" Lin gasped.
"We found him on the beach alone. We waited for his mommy to come get him but no one came so we decided to keep him" Naruko said
(Air Temple Island)
"A dragon?" Tenzin said in disbelief.
"It's not even hostile towards them. He adores them" Lin said pointing outside to where Naruto and Naruko where playing with Toothless.
"Only my father and fire lord Zuko have ever seen a dragon and they looked nothing like this" Tenzin said stroking his beard. "What do you want to do" He asked Lin.
Lin shook her head. "I said they could keep him. He is too young to fly so they won't wake up to a missing pet" Lin said then Naruto and Naruko burst into the room with Naruto carrying Toothless.
"Mom, uncle Tenzin watch this" Naruto said then turned to Toothless. "Toothless smile" Narjuto said then the dragon opened his mouth showing his sharp teeth that then retracted into his gums. Toothless then curved his mouth into a smile surprising the grownups a bit. Lin thought this was one of the cutest things she had ever seen.
(Flash back end)
"Wow" was all that Korra could say.
"Toothless has been a big help ever since I was able to ride him. Flying is way better than driving" Naruto said.
"So why does Toothless have that extra fin on his tail connected to where your feet go?" Korra asked curiously.
"Oh that well Toothless was attacked by a bunch of people who wanted to capture him and sell him when I was ten. Because dragons are so rare Toothless is worth a lot of money and during the attack one of Toothless's tail fins was cut off so I made him a new one so he could fly again but I have to make it open and close so he can steer right" Naruto said.
"Oh I am so sorry" Korra said feeling bad for asking.
"It's fine" Naruto said turning to Toothless who had an annoyed look on his face with Meelo on his back screaming and kicking.
"Fly dragon fly" Meelo said but was then shook off by Toothless. Meelo caught himself with air bending. "This isn't over dragon" Meelo said and then ran off with Naruto laughing.
(Republic city)
Mako is walking out of a factory where he is working part –time. Adjusting his scarf he sees a trolley car that he needs to get on about to leave. As he runs to catch it he doesn't notice a girl approaching on a motor bike. The girl tries to stop but is unable to in time and Mako is his and sent tumbling across the ground. The girl immediately gets off her bike and rushes over to Mako.
"OH no I'm so sorry I didn't see you" The girl said stopping in front of Mako.
Rubbing his head Mako sat up. "How could you not see me?" Mako says in anger and turns to face the girl. "I mean I was ju -juss-" Mako's shouting came to an abrupt stop as he saw the girl take off her helmet The girl flung her hair out leaving Mako in a complete daze which had nothing to do with being hit. "I I was. Wow, I was ahem" Mako stammered and coughed into his hand a blush spreading across his cheeks as he tried to regain his composer.
"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" The girl asked helping Mako up. "I'm such an idiot" This girl you already know as Asami.
"Don't worry I'm fine. MY brother hit me harder than that everyday during practice" Mako said with a small smile while dusting himself off.
"Wait I recognize you, Your Mako right? You play for the fire ferrets" Asami said smiling and pointing at Mako.
"Yeah that's me" Mako said smiling.
"I am so embarrassed" Asami said bringing a hand to her face then rung her hand for Mako to shake. "My names Asami, Let me make this up to you somehow…UH how about I treat you to dinner. Tomorrow night, Eight o clock, Kuangs cuisine" Asami said and turned and walked away.
"UH Kuangs? I don't have any clothes nice enough for a place that classy" Mako said.
"I'll take care of that. All you need to do is show up. So it's a date?" Asami asked.
Asami then putts her helmet and goggles back on and Mako speaks. "Uh yeah I guess so. I'll see you tomorrow night" Mako says as he smiles.
Asami then stars her bike and drives off as Mako has a giant grin on his face as well as a blush on his face and hearts floating around his head.
( That night on Air Temple Island )
The air bender family were sitting around the table ready to eat dinner. Tenzin was sitting at the front of the table with Pemma, Meelo, and Naruko on his left and Jinnora and Ikki on his right. Korra,and Naruto were sitting on the other side of the table across from Tenzin with Naruto sitting on Korras right. Tenzin then began to speak.
"We are great full for this delicious food, for happiness, for compassion and…" Tenzin said but was interrupted and surprised.
"I'm not interrupting am I?" Tarrlok said entering the room.
"This is my home Tarrlok were about to eat dinner" Tenzin said getting up.
Tarrlok smiled "Good because I am famished. Air benders never turn away am a hungery guest I right?" Tarrlok said as he walked around the table.
Tenzin sighed. "I suppose" Tenzin said and sat back down.
Pemma just gave him a disapproving look and Tenzin gave her a I don't know look.
"AH you must be the famous avatar Korra. It is truly an honor. I am councilman Tarrlok representative of the northern water tribe" Tarrlok said.
"Nice to meet you" Korra said and bowed.
Korra sat back down with Tarrlok taking a seat at her left.
"Why do you have three ponytails, and why do you smell like a lady? Your weird" Ikki said.
"Well aren't you precautions" Tarrlok said with a fake smile.
"So I've been reading all about your adventures in the papers. Infiltraiting Amons rally now that took some real initiative" Tarrlok said turning back to Korra.
"Oh thanks. I think you're the first authority figure in this city who's happy I'm here" Korra said.
"Hey what about me?" Naruto said.
"Republic city is much better off now that you've arrived" Tarrlok said.
"Enough with the flattery Tarrlok. What do want from Korra?" Tenzin asked.
"Patience tenzin I'm getting to that" Tarrlok said.
Tenzin just narrowed his eyes.
"As you may have heard I am assembling a task force. That will strike at the heart of the revolution and I want you to join me" Tarrlok said.
"Really?" Korra asked.
"What Tenzin" Said shocked.
"I need someone who will help me attack Amon directly. Someone who is fearless in the face of danger and that someone is you" Tarrlok said to Korra.
"Join your task force I can't" Korra responded.
Tarrlok and Tenzin have shocked looks on their faces while Naruto and Naruko just look at each other confused.
"I must admit I'm rather surprised. I thought you'd jump at the chance to help me lead the charge against Amon" Tarrlok said still shocked.
"Me too" Tenzin whispered.
"I came to republic city to finish my Avatar training with Tenzin. Right now I just need to focus on that" Korra said.
"Which is why this opportunity is perfect you would get on the job experience while performing your Avatar duty for the city" Tarrlok said trying to convince Korra.
"Korra gave you her answer. It's time for you to go" Tenzin said.
"Very well. But I'm not giving up on you just yet. You'll be hearing from me soon. It has been a pleasure Avatar Korra" Tarrlok said as he got up and left.
"Bye bye pony tail man" Ikki said waving as Tarrlok walked off.
(Republic city Kuangs cuisine)
Later that night in republic city Mako is standing outside Kuangs cuisine where he is having his date with Asami with his mouth agape. Mako looks at his clothes shrugs then goes in.
"AH welcome to Kuangs cuisine master Mako" Said a man with a long mustache and a suite.
"Uh master?" Mako said confused.
The man then dressed Mako in a suite and did his hair. Mako admired the suite then put his scarf on the man then walked up to Mako and looked at the scarf then he tried to take it off but Mako stopped him.
"The scarf stays" Mako said in a serious tone.
"As you wish sir, this way please" The man said as he bowed and then lead Mako to the dining room.
In the dining room Mako and Asami were sitting at a table. Mako took a sip of his drink as Asami started to talk to Mako.
"I am such a big pro bending fan. I caught all of your matches this season" Asami said.
"All of them wow. Honestly there are a few I wish you hadn't seen" Mako said with a smile.
"OH don't be ridiculous you're amazing. I can't wait to see you play in the tournament" Asami said.
"Yeah well UH maybe next year" Mako said looking away from Asami.
"What do you mean you made it in?" Asami asked.
"It just isn't in the cards for us right now" Mako said.
"Tell me what's the problem?" Asami asked resting her hand on Mako's.
Mako sighed. "We don't have the cash to anny up for the championship pot. So… it looks like where out of the running" Mako said.
"That's not fair" Asami said.
"Pardon me miss Sato. Your main course" The waiter said as he brung out their meals.
"Miss Sato. You wouldn't happen to be related to Haroshi Sato. Creator of the Sato mobile? Mako asked.
"Yeah he's my dad" Asami said happily.
"Get out uh town" Mako said shocked.
"I'm serious. You wanna meet him" Asami said.
Mako chuckles. "Meet the most successful captain of industry in all of republic city. Yeah I'll take you up on that" Mako said.
(Air Temple Island Next Morning)
Naruto and Korra are sitting on a set of stairs. Korra is rubbing Naga's belly and Naruto is rubbing Toothless's belly. Then Bolin walks up to them.
"Hello fellow team mate and non team mate" Bolin says to the two.
"Hey Bolin" Korra said.
"Missed you at practice this week" Bolin said.
"Yeah sorry about that" Korra apologized.
"OH It's alright, were probably out of the tournament anyway. Unless some money mercilessly drops out of the sky by tomorrow" Bolin said.
"Anyway the reason I came by was to give you this ta-da" Bolin said as he gave Korra a wrapped up cupcake and a flower.
"Wow thanks. What's this for?" Korra aksed.
"UH oh I can't remember now oh yeah now I remember. You saved me from Amon" Bolin said.
"OH that. It was no big deal" Korra said.
"No big deal are you serious. I was totally freaking out when he was coming at me with his creapy mask all I will take away your bending forever. I mean that is scary stuff I still can't sleep well" Bolin said.
"UM HM" Korra mumbled as she looked away.
"Hey Bolin I was the one who came up with the plan. So where is my gift" Naruto asked.
"OH do not worry non team mate I have something amazing for you. TA-DA" Bolin said giving Naruto an autographed picture of himself.
"A picture of you?" Naruto asked confused.
"Yes that will be vary valuable when I become famous" Bolin said.
"Great" Naruto said sarcastically.
"Delivery for Avatar Korra and Lieutenant Naruto" A man said walking up to the group carrying a basket of different items.
"Tarrlok sends his compliments and urges you to reconsider his offer" The man said pollitly.
"Tell him I havn't changed my mind" Korra said.
"UM HM" The man says as he bows and walks off.
"Who's this Tarrlok guy? Is he bothering you HU because I could have a word with him" Bolin said as he punched his fist into his palm confidently.
"Korra chuckled. "No it's not like that. He's just some old guy who works with Tenzin on the council" Korra said.
"OH good good that sounds better I like that better" Bolin said relived.
(Future Industries)
Asami had taken Mako to see her father and now they were talking.
"What do you think of my little operation here?" Mr. Sato asked Mako.
"It's vary impressive Mr. Sato" Mako responded.
"Please call me haroshi. So I understand your dirt poor" Haroshi said.
"UH well" Mako said uncomfortable.
"Young man it is nothing to be ashamed of. I too came from humble beginnings. Why when I was your age I was a mere shoe shiner an all I had to my name was an idea the sato mobile. Now I was fortunate enough to meet someone who believed in me and my work ethic. He gave me the money I needed to get my idea off the ground and I built the entire future industries empire from that one selfless loan" Haroshi said finishing his speech.
"Dad stop bragging. Just tell Mako the good news" Asami said and Haroshi just chuckled.
"What good news?" Mako asked confused.
"Well my passionately told me all about your hard earned success in the pro bending arena. And about your teams current financial stumbling block. Now I'd hate to see you lose your chance at winning the championship just because you're short a few uans. That's why I am going to sponsor the fire ferrets in the tournament" Haroshi said with his hand on Mako's shoulder.
"Are you serious?" Mako asked shocked.
"He's serious. My dad's going to cover your enny for the championship pot" Asami said happily.
"That that is good news" Mako said exited.
"There's just one catch. You all have to wear the future industries logo on you uniforms" Haroshi said.
"I'll tattoo it on my chest if you want sir" Mako said.
Haroshi and Asami chuckled.
"Thank you both so much. I promise the fire ferrets will make the most of this opportunity" Mako said shaking both of their hands.
(Air Temple Island)
Naruto was sitting on a rock under a tree relaxing when a white lotus sentry walked over to him. "We have received a package for you Mr. Beigong" The white lotus sentry said as he handed the box to Naruto. Naruto saw that the box had holes in it and he could feel something moving inside.
"Ha guess Mom couldn't handle then so she sent them to me" Naruto said as Tenzin walked by and immediately his face turned to one of featr.
"Naruto if that is what I think it is let me get far away before you open it" Tenzin said backing away as Naruto opened the box.
Out of the box came a fox a little bigger than a fire fox and what looked like a squid.
The squid has a green body, four long tentacle legs, four smaller tentacles that are flatter than the others two of them on the right and left sides of its body, two tentacles at the front of its body that end in pincers and two eyes on shocks.
"Kurama, Squibbon it is so good to see you two" Naruto said to his pets.
"Yip" Kurama said as he jumped onto Naruto's shoulder.
"Squeak" Squibbon said hanging from Naruto's arm like a monkey.
"Hey uncle Tenzin what's up with you?" Naruto said confused. Tenzin was just backing up with a look of fear on his face. The reason why is because whenever he was in a room alone with the two animals they were like little devils and would destroy everything but when anyone else came in they acted innocent.
"You keep those two away from me" Tenzin said as he ran out of the room.
"Wonder what's up with him?" Naruto said then shrugged.
"Yip" Kurama said.
"Squeak" Squibbon said.
"Come on guys lets go find toothless" Naruto said and walked with his pets.
(Later that night)
"Avatar Korra I have something for you" The man said walking up to Korra.
Naruto just had a look of annoyance on his face as did Korra.
Korra jumped off the balcony she was sitting on and faced the man. "It doesn't matter how many gifts Tarrlok sends I'm not joining his task force" Korra said as she used earth bending to turn the man around and kicked him to send him away.
"It's not a gift. It's an invitation" The man said bringing out the invitation.
"To what?" Korra asked.
"Tarrlok is throwing a gala in your honor. All of republic cities movers and shakers will be their. The councilman humbly requests your attendance" The man said.
(At the gala)
Tenzins family entered the gala wearing formal air nomad attire. Korra was wearing a formal water tribe outfit. Naruto was in his police uniform as was expected of him at these kinds of events and Naruko was wearing a beautiful blue dress.
As they walked in the crowd clapped for Korra and some even clapped for Naruto.
"I can't believe this is all for me" Korra said.
"Careful Korra. Knowing Tarrlok he probably has something planned" Naruto said.
"Naruto is right. Korra keep you guard up" Tenzin said.
"So glad you could make it Avatar Korra. If you'll excuse us the city awaits it's hero" Tarrlok said and then lead Korra away. Naruto fallowed much to Tarlloks annoyance while Tenzin had to keep an eye on his kids.
"Korra it is my pleasure to introduce republic cities most famous industrialist Hiroshi sato" Tarrlok said.
"Nice to meet you" Korra said politely.
"Old man Hiroshi, it has been a while" Naruto said. Naruto then walked up to the man and held his hand out.
Haroshi looked shocked. "Naruto my boy. It is expellant to see you again" Haroshi said as he shook Naruto's hand then pulled him into a hug.
As they hugged Naruto patted Haroshi on the back.
"I see your friends with our young Avatar here". Haroshi then turned to Korra. "We're all expecting great things from you" Haroshi said.
"Right greatness" Korra said muttering the last part to herself.
"Hey Korra, Naruto" Said the voice of Mako.
"They turned to see Mako all dressed up with a beautiful girl on his arm.
"This is my daughter Asami" Haroshi said.
"Naruto" Asami said happily and went up to hug her friend and Naruto returned the hug.
"But I Guess Naruto doesn't need introductions
"But I guess Naruto doesn't need introductions" Haroshi said as the two friends hugged.
Something about this hug didn't sit well with Korra.
"Asami look at you' did you do something different with your hair?" Naruto said in a teasing way.
Asami lightly swatted his arm. "Haha Naruto"
"So Asami how did you meet our favorite fire bender over here?" Naruto asked.
"Asami crashed into him on her moped" Bolin said entering the conversation.
"What? Are you okay?" Korra asked with concern.
"I'm fine. More than fine. Mr. Sato agreed to sponsor our team. We're back in the tournament" Mako said in happiness.
"Isn't that great?" Bolin said happy and exited putting his arm around Mako's shoulder.
"Yeah" Korra said excitedly.
"Chief Beifong I believe you and Avatar Korra have already met?" Tarrlok said calling Naruto's mother over.
She walked over and got in Korras face. "Just because the city is throwing you this big party, don't think your something special. You've done absolutely nothing to deserve this" Lin said aggressively.
Naruto just groaned at his mother.
"Hiroshi. Asami. A pleasure" Lin said in a kinder tone as she turned to the two.
"Greetings Lin" Hiroshi said to Lin.
Later on Tarrlok
took Korra to answer a bunch on reporters.
"Avatar Korra! You witnessed Amon take peoples bending away first hand. How serious of a threat does he pose to the innocent people of republic city?" One reporter asked.
Korra cleared her throat. "I think he presents a real problem"
Naruto saw Tarrlok look at a reporter and narrowed his eyes.
"Then why have you refused to join Tarrloks task force? As the Avatar shouldn't you be going after Amon?" The reporter asked.
"Well…I" Korra said.
"Why are you backing away from this fight" The reporter continued.
"What no, I've never backed away from anything in my life" Korra stated.
"You promised to serve this city, are you going back on that promise now?" Another reporter asked.
"Do you think pro-bending is more important than fighting the revolution?" Another reporter asked.
"How do you think Avatar Aang would have handled this?" Another reporter asked.
"Are you afraid of Amon?" Another reporter asked.
"I'm not afraid of anybody! If the city needs me then… I'll join Tarrloks task force and help fight Amon" Korra said.
"There's your headline folks" Tarrlok said and looped his arm around Korras shoulder.
"Damn" Naruto said in anger knowing that Tarrlok played Korra.
Tenzin Lowered his head in sadness.
(Republic city hall)
Both Korra and Naruto were waiting in a board room waiting for Tarrlok to arrive.
Korra had a worried look on her face.
"Thanks… for coming along with me Naruto" She whispered to Naruto.
Naruto's expression softened.?"No problem" Naruto replied.
"My fellow task force deputies" Tarrlok said as he entered the room. "Tonight we will execute a raid on an underground chi blocker training camp located in the dragon flats district. According to my sources there is a cellar underneath this bookstore" He said pointing to the map in the room. "Where equilist train chi blocking in secret"
They later drove up next to the building with a water pump on the truck they drove for water bending.
Korra and Naruto both looked inside and saw chi blockers training.
Each water bender held a large amount of water until Tarrlok gave the signal and they unleashed the torrent and froze most of the chi blocker trainees near the bottom.
Naruto and the other earth benders smashed the wall and captured some more with earth bending.
Two got away and one threw two smoke bombs but korra caught them in water and froze them so the smoke wouldn't escape.
"I'm going after those two" Korra said running after them with Naruto fallowing close behind.
They were running down the hallway with Korra leading the way until she tripped on a line of rope.
She rolled on the ground and a chi blocker hiding on the ceiling jumped down on top of her. But she rolled out of the way and kicked her foot sending a large rock up knocking out the chi blocker.
Another jumped behind her with a bola but two earth pillars came up at its side and another came up in front hitting it in the face knocking it out.
"Thanks Naruto" Korra said.
"No problem water princess" Naruto said.
"Good work you two" Tarrlok said.
There was a photo op when they started to cart the chi blockers off to jail.
(Later on in a press conference)
"Avatar Korra and lieutenant Naruto Beifong bravely answered the call to action. With the three of us leading the charge. Republic city has nothing to fear from Amon and the equilists" Tarrlok said.
"Question for the Avatar. Amon remains at large, why have you failed to locate him?" A reporter said.
"You want to know why. Because Amon is hiding in the shadows like a coward. Amon I challenge you to a duel. No task force. No chi blockers. just the two of us tonight a midnight on Avatar Aang memorial island. Let's cut to the chase and settle this thing. If your man enough to face me?" Korra said then she dropped the mike and walked off the stage.
"Idiot" Naruto raged in his mind and stormed off.
(Near Midnight at the docks)
Korra was preparing a boat to leave as Tarrlok and the other task force members helped out.
Tenzin landed with his glider near the team.
"Korra this is madness" Tenzin said to the gitl.
"Don't try to stop me and don't fallow me. Naruto already tried" She said in sadness. " I have to face Amon alone"
Tenzin rounded on Tarrlok. "This is all your doing"
"I tried to talk her out of it to as did lieutenant beifong but she's made up her mind" Tarrlok said.
"Where is Naruto anyway" Tenzin asked.
"He called her an idiot for challenging Amon this early and stormed off" Tarrlok said.
Korra used her water bending to propel her boat to the island.
"We'll be watching the island closely. If anything goes wrong I have a fleet of police air ships ready to swoop down" Tarrlok said.
(On Avatar Aang Memorial Island)
Korra stood and waited for Amon to show but he didn't.
"Guess you're a no show Amon. Whose scared now?" Korra said than got up to leave.
She was walking back to the docks when a rope came out of the darkness and snared her pulling her into the darkness.
She freed herself by letting loose a ring of fire and when she got to her feet she saw that she was surrounded by Chi blockers.
She tried to fight
She tried to fight them off but was tied up and her chi was blocked.
She woke up a few seconds later to find herself being held by two chi blockers.
Before anyone could do anything they all heard a high screeching sound coming from the sky then a fire ball came and blew away a few chi blockers. And landing not too far away was Toothless and dismounting of him was Naruto.
"Naruto" Korra mumbled.
Naruto saw that there were 20 chi blockers surrounding Korra and narrowed his eyes. Naruto than ran forward and jumped into the air. When he came down he brought his arms forward and made an earth pillar that hit away one of the chi blockers holding Korra.
Naruto then brought his arm up and an earth pillar came up from under Korra launching her up and Naruto caught her in his arms.
Well korra it looks like you need some recuing" Naruto said.
Naruto then threw Korra into the air and stomped his foot on the ground making an earth cage that caught her.
Naruto than faced the chi blockers that were charging at him.
Naruto ducked under the strike of one chi blocker and jumped into the air over the head of another.
Naruto then brought both his hands up and made earth come up trapping the chi blockers.
Naruto then sent an earth wall at five other chi blockers hitting three of them.
The two that got away were then taken down by Naruto as he threw two large boulders.
"You guys need to do better" Naruto taunted.
Naruto then launched a boulder at another chi blocker.
That chi blocker was hit and another five charged at Naruto.
Naruto ducked and weaved around them. Then he kicked forward and hit a chi blocker that moved around for another attack.
Naruto then punched forward and launched another rock at one of the chi blockers.
That chi blocker was knocked away and the others then charged at Naruto again.
Naruto made an earth wall stopping the chi blockers for a moment before they jumped over the wall but Naruto was ready for them and stomped the ground making their feet sink. Than Naruto brought his hands up and trapped them in earth.
"You guys are really bad at this" Naruto taunted.
Another three chi blockers charged at Naruto but he easily dodged them.
Naruto then punched his right arm to the left and an earth pillar came up and hit one of the chi blockers.
Naruto then jumped up and stomped the ground making two more earth pillars come up and hit the other two chi blockers.
Naruto turned around as another four chi blockers attacked. He dodged a punch from one and grabed his arm and threw him over his shoulder.
Naruto then moved his hand and trapped the chi blocker in earth.
Naruto then punched the ground making a rock wall behint the three other chi blockers.
Naruto then ran forward and punched one of the chi blockers in the stomack.
"Well that takes care of that. Come out Amon" Naruto said.
"It is nice to see again Naruto" Amon said coming out of the shadows.
Korra gasped as her eyes widened.
"Greetings to you to Avatar I got your invitation.
"Well a party is always more fun when it is a group" Naruto said.
"Well there is still one chi blocker you haven't fought yet" Amon said.
"One chi blocker isn't much" Naruto said.
"Not this one, Come out now and show him you face my follower" AMon said.
A chi blocker than came out of the shadows and took off his mask revealing a young man with red hair and raccoon like markings around his eyes.
"Gaara" Naruto said shocked seeing his lost partner.
Gaara just stared at Naruto.
"Gaara what's wrong?" Naruto asked.
Gaara still said nothing.
"He has nothing to say to the person that abandoned him" Amon said.
Naruto just glared at Amon.
"Don't worry you will have your fight" Amon said.
"Amon what did you do to him?" Naruto demanded.
"Nothing he just saw the light" Amon said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"I mean that he has seen how unreliable you benders are and joined me" Amon said.
"You're lying you did something to him" Naruto said angrily.
"Believe what you want. It doesn't matter" Amon said.
"You said your threat now leave" Naruto said.
"Now Avatar our showdown while inevitable is premature. Although it would be the simplest thing for me to take away your bending right now… I won't. You'd only become a martyr. Benders of every nation would rally behind your untimely demise. But I assure you I have a plan and I am saving you for last. Then you'll get your due and I will destroy you" Amon said.
"You said your threat now leave" Naruto said.
Amon and Gaara who had put his mask back on then walked back into the shadows and away.
Naruto looked up and stomped his foot making the cage holding Korra opan.
Korra dropped down into his arms bridal style.
"Naruto you… you came for me" She asked in surprise.
"Of course I did water princess… Why wouldn't I?" He questioned her.
"Because… Because you were really upset that I did this… I thought you hated me' she choked out.
"Not really Korra. It's too much work to hate you" He said teasingly.
Korra just started to break down and cried in his arms.
"I was so terrified, I felt so helpless" Korra said in hiccups.
"Don't worry you're safe now Korra" Naruto said.
"You were right though, since that night at the rally, I've been scared, I've never felt like this before, I don't know what to do?" She said to him in a sod.
"Admitting it is the first and hardest thing to do. But hey. I will always protect you and that's a promise of a lifetime" Naruto said soothingly to her.
Tenzin joined them later.
He and Naruto had a wordless conversation and they continued to let Korra cry it out in the blonds arms as the task force entered and arrested the downed chi blockers.
