A/N: I don't own anything
Where the hell am I?
Naruto rubbed the sides of her body as the coldness nipped the inside of her bones. The room seemed to be small, smaller than even her small apartment in Konoha. She nibbled her bottom lip and pulled the fur blankets closer to her body, trying to chase for more heat. This room was colder than any room she had ever been too.
She darted her eyes everywhere, trying to find any windows but all she could see was a bunch of sleeping bags alongside a single opening and the tiniest glimpse of snow.
This isn't Konoha. The knowledge numbed her, almost tempted her to drop her blanket but the coldness biting through her bones was enough for the blonde to clung to the furs. This wasn't Suna. Suna was hot or so Sakura once explained to her when Naruto wanted to know where Gaara lived. Was it Iwa? But Iwa was filled with rocks or that was what Sasuke explained to her whenever they had their geography lessons.
Sasuke…
She tightened her grip on the furs and grinded her teeth together as her eyes darted everywhere. No dark hair. No black eyes. There was no one else here but her. She hunched her shoulders and chewed on her bottom lip, eyebrows knitting together.
What the hell happened? She shifted to the right as her blue eyes took in a few weapons scattered inside the tent. Sasuke and her had been fighting again, except this time…she was trying to convince him to come back home. Words failed with him. It wasn't enough to make him falter so they ended up using their most powerful jutsu.
His chidori pierced through my chest. Naruto looked down at her chest and blinked at the bandages covering her chest. Chewing on her bottom lip, the blonde pulled the bandages and let out a tiny sigh of relief at the lack of blood leaking out of her chest. There wasn't even a scar. Her shoulders relaxed and the girl looked up.
Yeah, she was definitely in either a house shaped like a triangle (that was cool) or she was in a lousy tent.
But if I'm here? Then where is the Bastard? She ran her hand through her hair and knitted her eyebrows together. If she was here then he had to be nearby, right? Naruto couldn't know until she moved away from these soft fur blankets. She just wanted to confirm he was here, hugged him before smashing her fist against his face.
It was all his fault that she was in this mess.
Find Sasuke and kill him later. She bobbed her head and took in a deep breath before kicking the blankets off of her. Closing her eyes, Naruto pressed her palms against either sides of her body and forced herself to stand up. Shit. Her shoulder throbbed and screamed out but the blonde grinded her teeth together.
With each step she took, her shoulder screamed for her to go back to the tents and relaxed, but Naruto only clenched her hands into a fist. She inhaled and forced herself to stand up as straight as her body would allow her before it could complain and moaned even more.
Right now, she needed to find the person that found her and questioned them about if they saw a duckass boy with a permanent scowl in his face before asking them for directions back to Konoha. It should be easy as pie. Once that was done, she would go on her merry way of finding Sasuke and screaming at him for messing things up.
Then they would make things up and Team Seven would go back to being normal.
The flap of the tent slid opened and an elderly woman knelt down slightly before walking into the tent. Naruto paused, blue eyes widening at the woman in front of her. Blue eyes narrowed as she took in the stance of Naruto and with a speed faster than any civilian old woman that Naruto knew, she yanked Naruto's hand and pushed her back onto the blankets of fur.
"You shouldn't stand, child!" The woman scolded.
Naruto blinked and tilted her head together. The old woman had brown, wrinkly skin and gray hair. But there was only one thing that stood out about the elderly woman and it was her blue eyes. It wasn't the same shade as her own but Naruto had never seen someone with those shade of blue.
"Who are you?" She finally asked once her brain finally processed the woman's appearance.
The elderly woman doesn't offer her a smile nor did she frown. If anything she just let out a tiny sigh before taking a seat right beside her. "My name is Kanna."
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto chewed on her bottom lip, pushing it back and forth as her eyes darted everywhere. The woman blinked, looking almost taken back by her words and the blonde frowned. Was there something wrong with what she said? Her name was as normal as it could be.
Except for Naruto being a boy's name but she blamed her parents for her first name.
"Where do you come from?" Kanna asked, pressing her lips into a thin line. "You look nothing like the people of the Fire Nation or the Earth Kingdom which brings the question of where are you from."
Earth Kingdom? Fire Nation? The blonde knitted her eyebrows together and frowned. She might not have been the best student, always skipping class to have some fun with Kiba, Shikamaru and Choji but the name didn't ring any bells for her. It sounded nothing like the names that Iruka-sensei kept blabbing for her to memorize.
"Is the Fire Nation anywhere near the Land of Wind?" Naruto asked with a bright smile plastered on her face. The woman blinked and blinked before looking at her like she was either an absolute idiot or insane. Hopefully it was the former more than the latter.
Kanna eyed her. "The Land of Wind? I have never heard of that country."
"Okay…what about the Land of River?"
The old woman just blinked at her.
Naruto could feel her heart racing against her chest, just ready to burst away from her chest but the blonde took in several deep breaths. Don't panic. She steadied her trembling arms and gulped down the lump formed in her throat. "Where am I? The Land of Snow? 'Cuz I see a lot of snow."
Now she was just gasping for any straws or any clues of where she might just be.
"You're in the Southern Water Tribe."
That was definitely not helping her. "And where the hell is that?"
"In the South Pole." The woman answered, frowning. She leaned her body forward and placed her hand on top of the blonde's forehead. "Maybe you hit your head harder than we believed."
Not hard enough for me to forget where the Land Of Fire is! The words were on the tip of her tongue but Naruto swallowed the words and instead stared at the elderly woman. All of the countries that she could remember from the tip of her head had met with just plain confusion. She grinded her teeth together.
She could figure this out later but there was something that needed to be confirmed.
"Okay, then have you seen a boy around my age with a permanent scowl on his face?" Naruto balled her hands into a fist and forced herself to smile at the elderly woman. "His hair would resemble a duck ass if it helped."
"You were the only one that my grandchildren found," Kanna answered.
You were the only one…
Should she be happy? Or should she be furious? Naruto wasn't certain of what she should feel but maybe there was a small part of her that just wanted to relax her shoulders. There was just a small chance Sasuke was out there. Maybe not here. Or maybe he was in Konoha with Sakura-chan.
He was probably going to get punish by the Old Hag but it was better than Orochimaru.
"But you don't know if he is with them or not." A small voice whispered in her mind and Naruto slumped her shoulders. She had to get away from here and find a way back home. She looked at Kanna and then frowned. If the old woman doesn't know where Konoha was, then she might have a hard time going back home.
No, she had to have hope.
"You have no idea where you are, do you child?" Kanna asked softly. Blue eyes stared at her with sadness and pity that it almost made the blonde bristled. She forced herself to nod her head, earning a frown from the elderly woman. Naruto sighed and looked out at the tent.
"Does it look like I know where the hell I am?" She retorted, scowling at the elderly woman.
The woman hummed and shook her head. Those blue eyes took in Naruto's bright blond hair before shifting downwards to her blue eyes and then flickering to her orange jacket on the side. My beautiful jacket! Naruto slumped her shoulders. It might be cleaned but the blonde could see a few holes covering it, a reminder of the fight she had with Sasuke.
"Where do you come from?" Kanna asked softly.
Naruto chewed on her bottom lip and slumped her shoulders. "I come from the Land Of Fire but…"
It doesn't exist.
That thought alone was enough to make the blonde slump her shoulders.
"Land Of Fire?" The woman muttered, eyeing her. Naruto perked up and bounced in the blanket of furs, blue eyes lilting up with the way that those eyes stared at her like the name was familiar. But there was something in those eyes that made her want to hide under her blankets as those blue eyes turned cold. "Does your home have anything to do with the Fire Nation?"
"What the hell is this Fire Nation? And Earth Kingdom business!" Naruto grumbled, throwing her head back as a storm cloud loomed over her head. "Just tell me that ya don't know the Land Of Fire! The Fire Nation is not the Land Of Fire! I would know 'cuz it would be cool if we had two names!"
I need to get out of here! And I need to tell the Old Hag about this. Naruto tooka deep breath and stared out at the slight opening of the door as Kanna stared at her with concern eyes. She had to get the hell out of here as soon as possible. A toad would be needed for her to summon and hopefully Gamabunta might have some idea of how she could go back home.
But until she could find a way back home, Naruto was going to have to use her shadow clones to improve her chakra control and that might be enough for her to summon Gamabunta without any problems.
She wasn't going to waste any time in this part of the world.
A/N: -This is my take on an Avatar the Last Airbender and Naruto crossover and I hope all of you will enjoy it. This has been on my mind for the last few days and I have seen a few femNaruto/Zuko but none of them have been completed, so I thought to give this a try.
-This story is a bit of an experiment and a way to handle the writer block that has occurred for my other story. If you have any questions about the story or wish to see something then please let me know. I will take it into consideration and the next chapter will be a lot longer than this.
I do hope you like the beginning.
