Relief was what Naruto felt as he had successfully defeated all the Pain's and protected his village. Even the many lives that were lost were now returned, all because of his former enemy now sibling student Nagato, bearer of the Rinnegan.
"I can't thank you enough, Nagato." Naruto said in full gratitude towards the former redhead as his hair had now turned a ghostly white.
"Naruto, can I ask you something?" Nagato asked in a raspy voice, looking at Naruto with complete seriousness.
"Anything. What is it?" Naruto answered quickly, seeing the dire state Nagato was in.
"Do you believe your village will ever truly accept you for who you are?" Nagato asked in full seriousness, knowing full well the treatment of a jinchuriki and knew it was next to impossible to ever be truly acknowledged while being one.
Naruto was shocked by the man's question and thought back on his life, remembering the beatings and solitude he suffered throughout his life. Even with the few people that have accepted him, he was still alone. Even as he got older he could still see the fear and worry in peoples eyes when they saw him.
"No. I don't think they'll ever accept me for who I am, but where am I suppose to go? Wherever I go, all I will ever be seen as is a monster." Naruto said, casting his head down in sadness.
"What if I could send you somewhere where no one would know who you are or even what a jinchuriki is? It would be a fresh start for you." Nagato explained to Naruto as the blond gave him a look of confusion.
"Where would that be?" Naruto asked in both confusion and wonder about where Nagato was talking about.
"It's a place called the four nations, it's in another dimension. My father was from There before he came here and met my mother, who like yourself was an Uzumaki." Nagato explained getting a look of disbelief from the blond Uzumaki.
"Wait, you're an Uzumaki? Are we related in some way?" Naruto asked both confused and curious about having a living family member he could have made a connection to.
"Maybe we are cousins in some way, but I can't be too sure. As far as I'm aware, my mother had no living family, but all Uzumaki that are still alive are related by some distant ancestor." Nagato explained, actually giving some thought to how close the blood relation between him and Naruto was.
"Okay, how do I get to the four nations? I can't exactly cross dimensions." Naruto said, seeing the smirk on Nagato's face.
"With the last of my power, I can open up a portal that will breach through dimensions so you will be transported to somewhere in the four nations, but I will need your help." Nagato explained to Naruto as he looked somewhat confused.
"Okay. How do I help you?" Naruto asked, ready to help his fellow Uzumaki, who was giving him a second chance at life.
"First, we need to join hands and combine our chakra." Nagato explained.
Naruto did as instructed. They both held hands and closed their eyes to concentrate and a few moments later, a blue portal suddenly appeared looking like it cut through the very fabric of reality itself.
"Whoa, we did it Nagato." Naruto said, amazed by the portal.
"Yes. Now, Naruto before you go, I would like to say goodbye and give one parting gift." Nagato said placing both of his hands over Naruto's eyes and focused his chakra into them, causing Naruto to feel a moment of dizziness.
"Whoa. What was that?" Naruto asked, overcoming his sudden dizziness.
"It was my gift to you. Now go Naruto. The portal won't stay open forever." Nagato said, not wanting his sibling student to miss his opportunity.
"Right. Goodbye, Nagato" Naruto said before jumping straight into the portal as it closed not a moment later.
"You do know after using such taxing jutsu, you'll die don't you?" Konan asked, finally saying something after all has been said and done.
"I would have died anyway with how my body is anyway. I might as well do one good thing for Naruto so he could have a better life." Nagato explained to his longtime friend as his eyes got heavy.
"Yes, but at least you would've died peacefully." Konan said, getting Nagato to let out a weak laugh, making her look at him strangely.
"Konan, in this world there is no true peace and the only real chance of that was Naruto and now that he's gone, the chance for peace is as well." Nagato said, starting to fade away, but not before sending one final glance towards his longtime friend, who was shedding tears as he finally died.
(with Naruto inside the portal between the Elemental Nations and the four nations)
Naruto was currently inside an empty space lying down on the 'ground' a little dazed as two figures began to approach him.
"Hello, Naruto." A familiar voice rang through Naruto's ears. He looked up and saw the Fourth Hokage aka the Yellow Flash or less commonly known, Naruto's father alongside a beautiful redheaded woman, who wore a green dress.
"Dad." Naruto said seeing his father once again, even after the brief meeting they had earlier during his fight with Pain.
"Hello, Naruto." The beautiful redhead spoke to him with a truly caring and honest smile.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked, not really knowing who the woman in front of him is.
The woman's eyes were now saddened that the blond didn't know who she was, but kept her smile and got an idea. "Well Naruto, how about you guess who I am."
Naruto looked at the woman very carefully, trying to figure out how she knew him and what the connection was between them until he had a sudden realization of who the woman might be.
"Mom?" Naruto said getting the woman to smile and suddenly hug him with tears coming down her face and after Naruto's shock began to wear off, he hugged the woman back with his own tears traveling down his face "Ya know, I have always wanted to meet you, mom."
"Ya know, you really are my child." Kushina said, wiping away her tears as she smiled brightly at her child.
(15 minutes of explaining and crying)
"Well Naruto, we would like to give you something before you go to this new land called the four nations." Kushina said, looking towards Minato who nodded and brought out three scrolls.
"Naruto, your mother and I have put something special in each of these scrolls just for you. The first has multiple copies of my jacket and yours from when you fought Pain. The second has me and your mother's knowledge and notes on Fūinjutsu or sealing. And the third one has the knowledge of my signature technique, the Flying Raijin, but you'll have to practice to get a good grasp on it." Minato explained to his son, who had a gobsmacked expression upon being bestowed the most powerful information the Elemental Nations have ever known but was snapped out of his shock as his mother stepped right in front of him.
"Naruto, I want you to close your eyes for a moment." Kushina said as she did the same and rested her head against Naruto's and suddenly a golden light enveloped both of them and as it died down, Naruto felt like something had been awakened from deep inside his body and looked at his mother, who was giving him a smile.
"Before you ask Naruto, I just gave you my gift and it'll come to you in your time of need and when you use it, it'll be hard to master, but I believe you'll be able to do it." Kushina said, not really telling Naruto 'what' she gave him.
Suddenly, both his parents began to become transparent, meaning they were almost out of time, making this the last time he'll ever see them.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye." Naruto said with a sad smile on his face.
"Yes it is, but Naruto, I just want you to know there is no possible way to say how immensely proud I am of you and I am in awe of the man you've become." Minato said crying with an honest to god smile as he hugged his son.
"Naruto I want you to know the day you were born was the happiest day of both mine or your father's lives and when we died, leaving you all alone was the hardest most difficult thing me or your father ever had to do. We love you so much." Kushina said, crying as she joined in on the hug and as the parents started to fade, Naruto could feel himself continue on his journey to the four nations .
(earth kingdom)
Naruto fell out of the portal with a grunt as he rubbed his butt "Ow that hurt" he said as he saw he was on a mountain and saw a few nearby towns in the distance the light from them illuminating the night 'ok gonna get some rest' he thought as he was very low on chakra after his fight with Nagato
Naruto sees a nearby cave 'Good as place as any to get some sleep, I'll head to the town in the morning' he thought as he was use to roughing it in rough terrains
He enters the cave and finds a place comfortable enough to rest on until he squints his eyes as some orange light shined from around the corner. 'The hell' he thought as he goes to investigate and when he looks he finds a glowing egg 'the hell is this' he thought as the egg seemed to be reptilian in nature 'It's warm' he thought as he held the egg close as he could feel the heat coming off of it, warming him up 'Wait, if this is a egg, then where's the parents?' he thought as he looked around and saw that nobody has been in this cave for quite some time 'Hmm, guess I'll take care of you little guy or girl' he thought looking down at the egg
He holds the egg close to his body while making sure not too put too much force as he goes to sleep
(The next day)
Naruto watched the egg curiously as it rocked back and forth whatever creature inside it tried to break free, before he chuckled "Need a hand?" he asked as he approached it when suddenly it began glowing brightly before it stopped 'must be approaching the time of when it's suppose to hatch' he thought as he wasn't much of an avian or reptile specialist but knew eggs
Naruto scratched his head 'How am I supposed to carry you' he thought as he wasn't sure if the egg would fit in his bag
'I say eat it, it's a waste of a perfectly good omelette' the nine-tails said to him as even he had to admit the egg looked appetizing
'Would you eat it if it was a kit?' Naruto asked the fox
'It's an egg what the hell kinda fox comes from a fucking egg' the nine-tails said to him
'Not what I meant, I meant would you eat it if it wasn't a egg but a baby fox?' Naruto asked him wondering if he'd eat his own kind
'Well… No, but you need to eat something and without any money you're gonna have to think of something' the nine tails said to him
'Since when do you care enough to openly talk to me?' Naruto asked as this was odd
'Because we're in a new world and as much as I hate to say it, we'll need to work together to survive' the nine-tails said as he knew next to nothing of this world
'Well maybe we can have a fresh start, I've always wondered, do you actually have a name or is it just Nine Tails?' Naruto asked
The nine tails was silent 'you are the first to ask me my name...I shall grant you your request since we need to trust one another my name...is Kurama ' he said to Naruto as trust needed to be established
'... Cool, so much better than just Nine Tails' Naruto said as he found that name to be cool
'Also make a storage seal you look like a bigger idiot than usual' Kurama said to him as the egg would draw to much attention
'Let me see if this works' Naruto thought as he cut his thumb and applied chakra to it having a seal opening in the bag
'Well first step in this new world, lets hope you can find something for money and food' Kurama said as this world obviously used different currency
Naruto took a slightly nervous gulp as he made his way towards the village as he puts the egg in his bag
(Half hour later)
'Am I literally the only blonde here?' Naruto thought as people were talking about his hair as he could hear whispers 'I mean all brunettes and noirettes' he thought as he didn't see a single person with different color hair
'Freakiness aside, we need money and food, so that means you may need to look for a job' Kurama said as Naruto did have skills aside from his ninja skills as he was a good labourer and had some carpentry skills and based on how this town looked those skills were desired
'And how do you expect me to do that?' Naruto asked him
Naruto was unaware as some girls were looking at him and giggling as they found him attractive
'I don't know, ask around you may get lucky' Kurama said as he had to give his host credit as he had stupid luck
'As good a thing as anything' Naruto thought as that was pretty much the only option
(Few minutes later)
After asking around Naruto was pointed in the direction of the circus that was nearby as the people he asked said that they could use some more helpers
'Whoa, okay we're definitely in a different world, what is that thing half lion, half vulture? And that one looks half platypus and half bear' Kurama said as some of his siblings were hybrid animals but this was a little much
'I think its cool' Naruto said to him
'Yeah, you would' Kurama said as Naruto found anything odd interesting
Naruto looked at the Lion Vulture who seemed to be in a mood as it grabbed one of the poles its caretakers was using and tossed him before taking a step back as it lunged at him
'One wrong move and you're lunchmeat' Kurama said as he knew a predator when he saw it
'Sage training don't let me down' Naruto thought as he channeled a little sage chakra and the animal became much less hostile and nuzzled into him "Hey quit it, that tickles" he said laughing as it began licking his face "Ooh, that breath though" he said as the animal had some funky breath
"Wow, you must have some skills with animals, usually it takes hours to calm him down" a man said as he approached Naruto "greetings young man I am the ringmaster of this here circus, my name is Shuzumu" he said to Naruto
"Naruto Uzumaki, and maybe this big guy wouldn't be so cranky as he was if you could get that tooth looked at" Naruto said as he opened the Lion Vulture's mouth to show a pretty nasty cavity
"My my you certainly have an eye can I hire you I've wanted to fire my current caretaker for a while" Shuzumu asked him curiously
"Well I was looking for a job as I need money shelter… and food" Naruto said as his stomach rumbled loudly
"Apparently" Shuzumu said with a laugh "Say what's that you got, looks like an egg" he asked as he saw the egg in Naruto's bag
"I don't know I just found it in a cave" Naruto said as he pulled the egg out
"Hmm, definitely not a Platypus Bear egg" Shuzumu as he looked at it but then when he grabbed it the egg glowed making him shout in pain before Naruto took it back "certainly not an egg I've seen before, ow." he said as he looked at it in worry
"Sorry about that, it's never done that to me before" Naruto said
"Well whatever is in there, it must like you. Let me get someone to show you where you'll be staying, oh Ty Lee, come here" Shuzumu said as he called out to a sixteen year old girl with a long pony-tail walking on her hands doing a split with her legs in the air she has high DD cups nice hips and a plump bubbly ass
"Hi" Ty Lee said looking at him from upside down
Naruto had a slight blush on his face looking at her "You're pretty" he said as he just blurted that out
"Thank you" Ty Lee said skillfully getting right side up
'Ah young love' Shuzumu thought as he walked away
"You're flexible" Naruto said before blushing brightly as he feels like he just embarrassed himself
"Yep, very" Ty Lee said with a laugh "Ooh" she said as she took the egg out of his hands and looked at it, Naruto tried to stop her before he realized the egg wasn't burning her hands
"He or she must like you" Naruto said as it hadn't burned her yet like Shuzumu
"I wonder what's in here, oh I hate waiting" Ty Lee said very excited at wondering what creature was inside it
"I don't know, I found it in a cave and considering I couldn't find its parents, I decided I'd take care of it" Naruto said as he loved animals and being the orphan he was he couldn't abandon something to be all alone
"Aww, well aren't you just a nice guy" Ty Lee said with a smile
"I try" Naruto said with a smile
"Come on, I'll show you where you can stay" Ty Lee said as she pulled him along to one of the side tents "This is where you'll be working but they'll set you up in one of the carts" she said as she showed him around
'You could probably get with that girl with some help from me' Kurama said as it was better than Naruto getting with a red head and he also felt this girl was insanely pure but had a small anger and sadness she was keeping buried deep that he almost missed
'I'm not that lucky' Naruto said to him
'Yet, you just need some help on how to talk to and interact with women, besides I could make a long list of potential girls from back home you could've gotten with but didn't as you are as dense as the very ground we're on' Kurama said as Naruto literally had lines of women in and out the village
'Okay fine, you may have a point' Naruto said in admittance as he remembered that he once promised someone he'd get her pregnant or a few other women he met
(week later)
Naruto was currently in the main tent with the egg taking a rest after feeding the animals and cleaning up "thank god that the animals can't tell anyone about my shadow clones" naruto thought
"You know if you hurt her this whole circus will kill you" Shuzume said to Naruto as he watched Ty Lee practice
Before Naruto could respond the egg began shaking wildly causing Naruto to pull it out of his bag and put it on the ground
Ty Lee noticed it and raced over as well as the others as the egg moved around and glowed
"I just had a thought, if this thing heats up, does that mean it-" Naruto was saying before suddenly the exploded sending bits of its shell all over the place
"That was awesome!" Ty Lee said as she was covered in ash and soot
"Didn't see that coming" Naruto said coughing
The smoke settled to reveal a small black and orange reptilian creature with wings
"Is that a..." Naruto said
"Dragon" Ty Lee said in amazement as they were believed to be extinct only a few sightings over the years
The dragon shook its head before sneezing sending out a small puff of fire and then looked at Naruto and Ty Lee
"Why's it looking at me like that?" Naruto asked
"With all animals, the very first thing they see, they believe them to be its parents. It must think we're its mommy and daddy" Ty Lee said in excitement
'It's called imprinting' Kurama said to Naruto as animals did it for parents and children or marking of mates
"Well I was planning on taking care of you" Naruto said as he picked the dragon up "And you're a girl" he said not seeing any genitals
"Aww, she's so adorable" Ty Lee said as she took the dragon from him and began nuzzling it against her cheek "What're we gonna name her?" she asked as he had found the egg meaning he got that call
"I don't know, Pyra?" Naruto said as the dragon then cooed after hearing that "Oh you like that? Well, Pyra it is" he said petting the dragon
"She really is a adorable little thing" Shuzumu said scratching Pyra's chin before she sneezed and caused his mustache to catch on fire which he quickly smacked out
"Sneezy little thing aren't you?" Ty Lee said finding that adorable
"We might wanna fix that so she doesn't burn the place down" Naruto said as that'd be really bad if the tent caught fire
"Here" Ty Lee said as she gave the little dragon an apple
"How do you know if she-" Naruto was saying before teeth came down in the dragon's mouth as Pyra took a bite
"Most reptiles have their teeth when they're born and aside from most meats they can eat almost anything" Ty Lee said
"Yeah but she has retractable teeth, still cool" Naruto said
Pyra licked her lips as she ate the whole apple
Ty Lee smiled as she put the dragon against her shoulder before patting Pyra's back making her burp "she's so adorable" she said as the dragon had smoke coming out her mouth
"Wonder how big she'll get" Naruto said as he rubbed Pyra's back
(1 week later)
We see Naruto helping set up the tent as they pull the ropes back, Pyra, who is now twice her size, was helping as she pulled on it as well before they nailed the rope down
"Good job, girl" Naruto said as he rubbed her face like one does to a dog "I have a feeling you're gonna be one big dragon when you're fully grown" he said as he was told dragon's reached adulthood quickly and grew at an alarming rate
Pyra wasn't paying him any attention as she looked at her tail before she began chasing it
"You're gonna get dizzy" Naruto said to her while laughing at the adorable act
Pyra began taking steps all over the place before dropping to the ground
"Told you" Naruto said as he laughed as he helped her up
"How do you get your work done so fast?" Shuzumu asked as Naruto always got his jobs done so fast
"I'm just that good" Naruto said as he knew how to be quick and efficient
"Hmm, tell me, tell me, tell me please!" Ty Lee said pleading with him to tell her his secret as she's been trying to find out for so long
'It's like she's a a damn puppy' Kurama said as this was a little strange for him
'I actually think it's kinda adorable' Naruto said to his fox friend mentally
'So you think she's adorable?' Kurama said to him teasingly as he and Naruto had been communicating more frequently and slowly riding themselves of the hatred between them
Ty Lee was surprised when Pyra bumped her right into Naruto
The two stayed still for a moment blushing as they looked into each other's eyes
(later that night)
'Hmph' Naruto thought as he heard something moving around outside, he slowly moved out of bed and made sure Pyra was asleep before running out to see what it was
'What the fuck kinda idiot robs from a circus' Kurama said to Naruto as he found it dumb
'I don't think they are' Naruto said to him as Shuzumu always hid the money
'Then what the hell is it' Kurama asked him
'Food maybe or someone hired them to do this lots of other circuses' Naruto thought as that was how it was between businesses as sometimes they liked to cause sabotage for the other business
"Hey who's out there?" a bandit said calling out
'Shit' Naruto thought as he had little to work with as they were in the foods during fall not much cover and all the trees were very brittle
"Looky what I found" one bandit said as he was holding a struggling Ty Lee
'And just like that in comes the hero to save the damsel' Kurama said as Naruto did this a lot which was another reason why women fell for him
"Well aren't you a pretty little thing" One bandit said as he put his hand on her chin to keep her head still
"If you wanna keep that arm I suggest you take it off of her, now" Naruto said as he made his presence know
"Well look at this boys, some brat trying to be a hero" one of the bandits said before they all laughing
"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not nice to point" Naruto said as his eyes went to slits momentarily
'Well brat you have no knives so I suggest a rasengan to all these idiots heads' Kurama said as he was still a violent creature to the core
"Dang boy, when's the last time you cut your nails?" One of the bandits asked as he saw Naruto's long fingernails which were like claws
"I'll only say this one more time… let her go, or I'll tear your throats out" Naruto said as his voice turned feral
"Yeah right, screw you" One bandit said as he shot fire at Naruto who easily batted it away
'So fucking glad I can resist high temperatures like this' Naruto thought as he had been set on fire a few times and Kurama's chakra was what kept him from getting to burned
"Don't just stand there, get him!" the lead bandit said to the others
Naruto rolled his neck, popping the joints in it "Your funerals" he said as he dashed taking out all the bandits except the one holding Ty Lee
"St-Stay back freak" the bandit said in fear as he looked at the blood from the other bandits drip off of Naruto's hands
"You're friends aren't dead but you might be if she's hurt so how we doing this shakey" Naruto asked him wondering if he'd pick fight instead of flight
"Fuck this" the bandit said as he ran away but ran right into another Naruto who slammed a rasengan right into his stomach
"Wow" Ty Lee said looking at Naruto "that was so cool" she said in excitement as she had stars in her eyes
"Yo-You're not freaked out by that?" Naruto said surprised
"Are you kidding, that was so freaking cool! Why would I be freaked out?" Ty Lee said in excitement
'This one...very concerning she's as batshit crazy as you' Kurama said as that was a reason for concern
'I ain't that crazy' Naruto said
'Bullshit' Kurama said as that is how it was with Naruto
Ty Lee surprised Naruto by jumping into his arms "My hero" she said kissing his cheek making him blush so hard he matched his mother's hair shade
"I-I w-was just t-trying to stop them" Naruto said slightly stuttering
"You're so cute when you're flustered" Ty Lee said as she rubbed his whiskers before laughing as he began to purr "you just get cuter" she said hugging him so tight he fell over landing on his ass her still in his arms
The two blush as they take notice of the position they're currently in before Ty Lee quickly got up
"Can you please tell me" Ty Lee said as she gave him her best puppy dog face
"Gah, alright just quit it" Naruto said making her grin triumphantly as her puppy dog eyes were his weakness 'man I swear those things are the weakness of men everywhere' he thought making Kurama laugh
Naruto decided to pull her into the woods so they could talk privately
"I… am not from this world" Naruto said
"Awesome" Ty Lee said leaving Naruto flabbergasted "oh are you a spirit or something" she asked in excitement
"Something, I'm just a guy who was given a second chance at a life in a new world" Naruto said
"What was wrong with your old one?" Ty Lee asked him curiously
"Well where do I start?" Naruto said as he begun telling her about his adventures back in his home world
Ty Lee for once in her life felt very sad it matched the level of how she was when she was happy and felt so much anger it made all the anger she had in previous events pale in comparison
'I like this one' Kurama said as his interest in the acrobat was increasing as she was impressing him a great deal
"So what about you, what kind of family issues you got as I think mine really takes the cake" Naruto asked her
"Follow me" Ty Lee said as the two went to her room and pointed to a painting "That's me and my six sisters" she said as they looked all identical
'Wow talk about passing along the genes' Kurama said as that was impressive and he had to admit if he didn't have chakra sensory he wouldn't know
"That's you on the left end" Naruto said as he picked out one of the girls
"...How'd you know that was me" Ty Lee asked quietly as this was the first time someone had picked her out
"The look in your eyes" Naruto said as that look the artist captured was a look he had for years
Ty Lee then surprised Naruto again as she tackled him into a hug and kissed him all over his face
'Well enjoy making kits kit I'm going to sleep' Kurama said as this was something he did not wanna watch
Naruto blushed as he turned his head and caused one of Ty Lee's kisses to land on his lips making her blush just as bright as his
Ty Lee got off of him as the two blushing teens looked at each other "wanna... go out on a date" she asked him slightly nervously
"Uh… sure" Naruto said nervous as well
"Next town over is having a celebration" Ty Lee said to him
Naruto was going to answer but looked down as he saw Pyra pulling on his pants leg "Somebody's tired of being ignored" he said with a laugh as he picked her up "You're starting to get heavy, girl" he said as he figured in no time she'll be too big to carry
"Let me, I'll put her back to sleep" Ty Lee said as she took Pyra out of his arms and began humming a tune which seemed to calm Pyra back to sleep "Now let's go" she said pulling him along with her
(Few minutes later)
"With all these lanterns, I'm thinking of a movie I once saw" Naruto said
"A what" Ty Lee asked curiously
'Oh yeah no technology' Naruto thought as it only went as far as steam powered machinery "A movie is something that we'd go to see, they'd have people acting, kinda like in a theater but there's a projector that plays the film on it, it's really entertaining and hard as shit to explain" he said
"I swear that sounds awesome" Ty Lee said getting stars in her eyes
"Anyways, in it there was a scene where the main guy and the main girl were in a boat as they released a lantern with the others and with all these lanterns in the sky it kinda makes me think of it" Naruto said
"Sounds romantic" Ty Lee said
"Yeah I'm less into romance stuff and more into action stuff" Naruto said as he loved action more than anything as he was a huge fan of the princess gale movies
"What's wrong with romance stories?" Ty Lee asked curiously
"I always thought that I wouldn't find love so romantic stuff kinda always made me feel depressed" Naruto said as he never liked to see things that reminded of something he wanted but didn't think he could have
"Aww, that's so sad" Ty Lee said as she felt that was a sad tale if any
"Yeah, I know" Naruto said to her
"I don't know what the future holds but I know you will find love" Ty Lee said brightly as she held his hand "It's probably closer than you think" she said teasingly as she smiled as she saw him blush
Naruto turned and saw everyone looking at a caravan going through the village "What's going on?" he asked Ty Lee
"They're taking Earth Kingdom rebels to the prison" Ty Lee said to him
"Rebels?" Naruto asked as rebels meant something was happening
"It's all part of the war" Ty Lee said
"What war?" Naruto asked her as he really hated the war from back home
"This may take a while" Ty Lee said as she began explaining the war to him
(few minutes later)
'A war that's been going on for a hundred years' Naruto thought as he wondered why he was surprised as he was often told the neighboring villages had been at conflict for decades 'just a few years short of a hundred' he thought as his world was the size of the earth kingdom "No offense but these firelords sound like douches" he said
"Careful that's considered treason" Ty Lee said as she was glad he was quiet
"Yeah but to keep it going this long, talk about a generation of egos" Naruto said as this was a little worse than his world
"What you never had war?" Ty Lee asked curiously
"The people we had back home could do more shit than anybody here, and that's coming from a guy that has a beast sealed inside of his gut" Naruto said giving her a look "but no our wars were short" he said as the first 3 wars lasted about a decade at most but all countries were still preparing "My dad fought in the last one and using his special technique he killed at least a hundred or more enemies in just second, it's what gave him his nickname The Yellow Flash" he said to her and smiled a little hearing Kurama growl
"Whoa, okay your people really can do more than us" Ty Lee said as that sounded amazing
"But Ty Lee the world won't see their greatness, if anything they'll hate you" Naruto said as he saw the looks the earth prisoners were giving the fire nation with hate and contempt "Your firelord started this because he wants to rule over all of the nations, but this world doesn't need that, it needs unity and as long as this war goes on then the nations won't ever know peace"
"Well they say the peace will be restored when the avatar returns" Ty Lee said as that was the rumor
"The who?" Naruto asked
"One person who can bend all of the elements"
"That sounds like a good amount of people I know, you should've seen how my teacher Kakashi could use lightning, it was sick" Naruto said also thinking of the third hokage
"Your teacher could bend lighting?" Ty Lee said as fire benders could use lightning but only for a few instances as that was
"He had this attack called the lightning blade and even could make like these beasts out of them it was awesome to see" Naruto said
"Pardon my language, but your world sounds awesome as hell" Ty Lee said thinking that'd be so cool
"Well we don't use… whatever you people use to do your element thing, we use chakra" Naruto said as he still didn't fully understand how their bending works
"What's chakra, and can you teach it to me?" Ty Lee asked him
"I don't know" Naruto said as he knew they used chi and after listening to history he knew what chakra had been called throughout the years being referred to as magic, chi, and so much more
"Please..." Ty Lee said as she began giving him the puppy dog eyes again
"Gah, alright fine, geez with those things they should be considered weapons" Naruto said as he felt like anyone would succumb to those things she called eyes
"A woman's greatest asset" Ty Lee said to him
"... Are you sure about that?" Naruto asked her as he checked her out
Ty Lee blushed from his looks
'Ha,ha I told you I could help you with ladies' Kurama said with a proud grin on his face
'Alright fine, you were right. It's kinda fun to be the teaser instead of the teased all the time' Naruto said to him "so we gonna finish this date?" he said taking her hand
(6 months later)
"This is so cool" Ty said as she had lightning chakra but Naruto told her her lightning was special as it had a stun like effect to it making people a little slower which worked great for her chi blocking style
"Yep and with time maybe I can teach you some of the lightning jutsu I've seen, though some you can only use if your life depended on it as the lightning blade I told you about is a deadly jutsu that can kill people" Naruto said as he still remembered the steps Kakashi told him when he hummored him after the chunin exams
"Is there a type of clone that uses lightning?" Ty Lee asked curiously as she always wanted to try that clone thing he did
"I'm pretty sure there's a elemental clone jutsu for all five of them" Naruto said as each had a certain advantage over other clones but when met with a clone of the element that beat them the clone's abilities were diminished
"Where's Pyra?" Ty Lee asked
Naruto put two fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly before a roar was heard and they saw a giant dragon
"Still can't believe how big she got" Ty Lee said to Naruto as she pet the dragon
"Well believe it or not she's still in the kids, us wise, dragon wise she's either a teenager or adult" Naruto said "You'll always be our little girl won't you Pyra" he asked as he began scratching the dragon's cheek causing Pyra to flop onto her back panting like a dog as she kicked one of her legs
"You'd think she would've gone off to the wild on her own by now" Ty Lee said
"Loyalty, we raised her and protected her, and there's that fact she thinks we're her parents are why she stayed" Naruto said as Pyra cooed against his touch
"Well I'll love her always" Ty Lee said as she petted the giant dragon
Pyra gave Ty Lee one big lick
"Ahh, Pyra, you know this does not wash out easy" Ty Lee said as all Pyra did was laugh "seriously dragon spit not fun I seriously wish we had a toothbrush big enough for you" she said as Pyra had a giant mouth
"Or dragon breath" Naruto said as he swiped the air in front of his face as Pyra's breath smelt nasty
"You ready for the routine?" Ty Lee asked him
"I'm always ready" Naruto said as he was up for anything
(Few minutes later)
"Now ladies and gentlemen turn your attention to the skies as Naruto the rider comes down from the skies on the back of Pyra the flaming dragon!" Shuzumu said as the crowd looked up
Pyra's roared got everyone's attention as she swooped down causing some of the audiences hats to be sent flying
"And today the amazing Ty Lee will perform her first ever trick with Pyra, the wing walk" Shuzumu said as he was nervous as hell on the inside as this could go horribly wrong
"Okay girl, just like we practiced" Naruto said giving Pyra a gentle nudge as she spread her wings
Ty Lee began doing cartwheels to each wing causing the audience to cheer
"Now spin" Naruto said as Pyra began doing 360 spins all while Ty Lee kept walking with her arms straight out not even getting dizzy or missing a step
"Now how about that?!" Shuzumu asked the crowd as they erupted in cheers
(1 hour later)
"Eat up, girl" Naruto said as Pyra was eating a large quantity of fish
"I'm always surprised that she'll choose fish over boar or deer or even a moose" Ty Lee said
"She probably would but she'd probably hunt it instead of just taking it as you know how predators act" Naruto said as predators enjoyed the thrill of the hunt
"Yeah but she's huge and whoever or whatever animal that decides to take her on would have to be pretty stupid" Ty Lee said as dragons were known to be fierce animals so whatever would try to take them on would be pretty stupid to think it'd stand a chance
"Didn't you hear, there's talk that the Avatar has returned" one of the performers said to another one
"Yeah right" the other performer said
Ty Lee and Naruto looked at each other
"Guess the board for this war just got changed" Naruto said as he liked the sound of that very much
"Whatever, I'm going to bed" Ty Lee said before she gave him a kiss on the cheek "I love seeing that face" she said as he slightly blushed before she walked away
"Well I love seeing what I'm looking at" Naruto said causing her to blush brightly before rushing off
'Nice, your skills with ladies are really improving, wonder how far you could before she fainted?' Kurama said with a chuckle
'She'd probably have to hit Hinata level style blush to do that' Naruto said with a laugh as he sadly remembered the girl who confessed her love to him before he came here
(Later that night)
Naruto grunted as he turned in his sleep and felt he was somewhere else
'The hell?' Kurama said as he saw they were in the sky
"Greetings Naruto and you as well Kurama" a blue glowing old man said on top of a serpent like dragon
"The fuck are you old man how the fuck do you know my name" Kurama said as only his siblings, his father, and Naruto
"I am Avatar Roku" Roku said as he introduced himself "And my friend here would like to thank you as you have been raising his child" he said as the dragon he was a top of closed his eyes and bowed his head
"Child, you mean Pyra?" Naruto asked as the dragon before him seemed to be of a different nature
"Yes, you see Fang's mate, whom I named Slash, was a Earth dragon and Fang is a fire dragon, Pyra is a hybrid of the two making a magma dragon, or one that can use both fire and earth or magma" Roku said to him as each dragon had certain advantages over the others
"Well that certainly explains why she looks like how she does and why she's so big. I mean you're big my dragon buddy but you look like a Platypus Bear compared to her, no offense" Naruto said as he saw smoke coming from the dragon's nose
"He likes you" Roku said with a laugh
"So what do you want? Seems like you wouldn't take the time to just give me a thank you" Naruto asked him curiously
"The avatar needs your help and I think you and your chakra may tip the scales in this war so please Naruto I beg you not as an avatar but as person please help" Roku said to him
"You don't have to ask twice, of course I want to help but I haven't even awakened my Rinnegan yet, so I don't know how much help I can give" Naruto said as he knew the rinnegan would be a game changer and increase his abilities a lot
"I may be able to unlock it but you'd lose certain abilities such as the rinne rebirth" Roku said to him
"I don't want you to do that as I want to do it on my own, I don't take cheats or shortcuts to get better" Naruto said to him "thanks for the heads up let's go kick some ass buddy" he said to Kurama as they left
"Told you Wan he was made of sterner stuff" a man wearing white robes with black magatama said to Wan
"I'll admit Ashura he is strong" Wan said to him simply "did you give it to him" he asked Roku
"He has the map" Roku said as spirits could sometimes bring items to the human realm from the spirit realm
"You know the kid is like us Wan" Ashura said to him with a smirk "and Aang what are the chances they'll go straight there" he said to the first avatar
Wan groaned a little as his immaturity always bit him in the ass with his reincarnations
"At least mine have a good sense of purity" Ashura said as Wan's avatars have always crossed lines or given up on their beliefs with the exception of a few
"What's that supposed to mean?" Wan asked him slightly offended
"Do you really need me to explain that to you?" Ashura asked him with a blank face
"You're right but Aang might be the purest one in a long while" Wan said as Aang was exceptional
"On that we most certainly agree" Roku said as he understood that he wasn't that great of an avatar but knew Ashura kept him in high regard considering he never gave up on his beliefs
(Back with Naruto)
We see Naruto finish up a note to Shuzumu telling him about everything as he loaded up Pyra's saddle with plenty of food and water for their trip
"C'mon girl" Naruto said as he tried to get her to fly off
"Hope you know I'm not letting you leave without me" Ty Lee said as she came up with a packed bag and giving him a stern look
Naruto slumped his head as he knew Pyra wouldn't leave without Ty Lee
"Good girl" Ty Lee said as he pet her "Now where do you think you're going?" she asked Naruto as she was still giving him a stern look making him nervous
"... For a flight" Naruto said trying to come up with a decent excuse
"Uh huh, with enough food and water to feed everybody?" Ty Lee said as she pulled out a container of water and a large tuna from Pyra's saddle
"I didn't want to turn you against your home, as I met Avatar Roku in a dream telling me to go to the North Pole to help the current Avatar named Aang" Naruto said as the map he found
Ty Lee jumped up behind him "You're sweet" she said before poking him on the forehead "But you're a idiot for trying to leave without telling me" she said
'He's a idiot, period' Kurama said
'So glad she can't hear you' Naruto said mentally to Kurama
"So let's go!" Ty Lee said in excitement
"You're willing to leave with me that easily, don't you like it here?" Naruto asked her
"I do, but there's a saying 'Home's where the heart is' and my heart is where you're at" Ty Lee said as she put her hand over his heart feeling his warmth and his strong heartbeat
Naruto smiled "You do realize this could be seen as eloping right?" he asked teasingly
Ty Lee smirked as she pulled him into a hot passionate kiss "I could do worse" she said with a smile
Both teens could hear Pyra groan as she felt very awkward
"Sorry girl, alright, let's go" Naruto said as Pyra then took to the air
(1 Week later)
"Glad you decided to pick up clothes for the cold" Ty Lee said as they were wearing warm clothes
"That's nothing as we have our own heated seats to keep us warm" Naruto said as he gave Pyra a pat on the side
Pyra licked her lips as she saw a group of Otter Penguins below
"I know you're getting hungry girl, but when we get there you can have whatever you want" Naruto said as he knew this flight was a long one
"I think I see it up ahead" Ty Lee said as they were passing much ice meaning they were getting closer
"Good because I think Pyra's wings are about to fall off" Naruto said as the dragon was getting weak as this was the longest she's ever had to use her wings as she never traveled far distances before
"Any idea on what to do when they see us? I mean I'm Fire Nation and dragons just scream Fire Nation" Ty Lee said as the nations of the opposing elements had been at odds for years
"Then that calls for a change of outfit" Naruto said as he applied a seal to her causing her outfit to turn orange
"And for Pyra?" Ty Lee asked as each nation had a bending animal and they might consider Pyra a hostile
"They hurt one scale on her and it'll be the last thing they ever do" Naruto said to her very seriously
'I swear when he's so protective he becomes way hotter' Ty Lee thought as seeing him like this made him seem much more attractive
Pyra landed in the village before her legs buckled before dropping onto her belly wanting to rest
"Good work girl, take a nice long nap, you earned it" Naruto said giving her a gentle pat on her side
"Freeze" a water tribe man said as he and others gathered around them
"Kinda easy to do that considering all the ice" Naruto said making a joke that made Ty Lee laugh
Even as she was exhausted Pyra lifted her head and growled at the Northern water tribe members
"What's your business here, are you fire nation?" One of the water benders asked
"No, I'm just here because I'm looking to meet the avatar so I can help him end the war" Naruto said to them
"We received word that the avatar will be arriving her because he needs to learn waterbending" Ty Lee said surprising all of them as they began to whisper among themselves
"Now do you mind, it's been a long flight and I'm awfully sleepy" Naruto said "Or are you going to do something stupid and cause our dragon here to roast you like marshmallows?" he said as flames came from the corners of Pyra's lips
"Everyone… stand down" an elder like man said to the other water benders
"Much obliged my friend" Naruto said as he gestured for Pyra to stand down
"My name is Pakku, and I can hear the honesty in your voice, so feel free to stay" Pakku said to him
"Anywhere my girl can some food to eat" Naruto asked as he saw Pyra perk up at the mention of food
A man with black hair moved through the crowd "Greeting traveler, I am the Chief of the Northern Water tribe, Arnook" the man said introducing himself as the two shook hands
"Sup Nookie" Naruto said with his signature grin making Ty Lee laugh as well as some of the other water benders
"Boy, show the chief some respect" Pakku said to him
"My respect is earned pops, I just got here and I barely know any of you, so why should I respect you?" Naruto said to him neutrally
"I can understand that" Arnook said as he could see Naruto's point of view and it was a little humerus for someone to act like this before him "Our fishermen have brought in a large catch your dragon can help it-her" he was saying till Naruto interrupted him
"Also bad idea to give her the green light" Naruto said as he saw Pyra gorging herself on fish
"Green Light?" Arnook asked curiously
"It's an expression, if you just let her go at it she's probably going to eat it all" Naruto said as Pyra was growling at people getting close as she believed they were trying to take the food
"This thing is a she?" a teen with black hair asked
Pyra growled offended before swatting the man with her tail sending him flying
"That Hahn, I swear" Pakku said shaking his head
"What's wrong with him?" Naruto asked curiously
"Well where do you want me to start?" Pakku said with a chuckle "Hahn is for a better word..." he drawn on trying to find the word
"A dick?" Naruto said
"That's one word for it" Pakku said with a laugh "Egotistical is the word I'd use" he said as he always tried to sound proper
"I've dealt with those kind of guys before" Naruto said as he knew a lot of dicks from his past
"Got any tips?" Pakku asked as the two shared a laugh
"Break their confidence or public humiliation" Naruto said as that was as far as he got
"Trust me, a lot of people have thought of that" Pakku said "Now come on, you and your girlfriend must be starving" he said as he was starting to like the young man
"Food!" Ty Lee said in joy as she pulled Naruto with her
(few minutes later)
'How the hell can she eat so much' Naruto thought as Ty Lee ate as much as him
'Figured you'd like that' Kurama said as he figured that'd be appealing to him
'I'm not saying that I don't like it' Naruto said to Kurama as it was basically a competition at this point
'Yeah but does she know she's not gonna win?' Kurama asked as it was kinda impossible to out eat Naruto
'Probably not' Naruto said as his acrobatic girlfriend was very competitive with him
'And down she goes' Kurama said as Ty Lee stopped as she couldn't eat anymore
'How does she eat like me and yet keep her figure?' Naruto thought as she was incredibly fit and flexible
'Maybe she does what you do' Kurama said as Naruto just ate a lot as it was basically carbo loading for him as he burned all the fat off
"How do you two eat so much?" Pakku asked as they both seemed incredibly fit and seemed like the type to eat healthily
"I'm guessing she burns off calories as fast as I do, so we have to eat so much to get any calories at all" Naruto said as at this point that was his best guess
"Hello Naruto, I was hoping you had a moment so we could talk" Arnook asked "Oh and meet my daughter Yue" he said as a white haired 17 year old woman walked beside him she has low DD cup breasts, and a nice bubbly ass
'There's something different about her' Kurama said as he felt something was off with her as if she was like Roku but she was alive
"Hello" Yue said to Naruto
Suddenly a explosion went off and a familiar shouting was heard
"Is that guy ever gonna stop trying to get on Pyra's saddle?" Naruto asked as Hahn's been trying to get on her for a ride for hours
"Knowing Hahn, he won't stop until he succeeds" Yue said as she let out a sigh
"Well he better quit before she finally decides to eat him" Naruto said as what he said happened as Pyra ate the asshole
"Pyra spit it out" Ty Lee said condescendingly in a motherly tone hearing some groans from the dragon "c'mon Pyra we don't know where he's been we don't need you getting sick" she said to her
Pyra gagged as her throat bulged before she hacked him back out
"Ew" Ty Lee said as she pinched her nose as that was rank "That's almost as bad as when you cough up those fish you eat trying to make us eat them" she said as apparently it was how dragons bonded or how they fed others or their hatchlings
Hahn ran away intent on getting clean and getting the smell off of himself
"Next time she does that she may not spit him back out" Naruto said
"It's been ages since any of us have seen a dragon" Arnook said
"You had dragons up here?" Naruto asked surprised as he figured dragons only stayed in the fire nation
"There were dragons everywhere all over the world of every shape and size and ability, but the world began seeing them as a threat so they began wiping them out" Arnook said "Yours may very well be the last of her kind" he said
"I don't think so, if Pyra is any source of reason dragons are too tough to just roll over and go extinct" Naruto said as Pyra had a lot of fight in her as he had hope that their was more out there as it would be sad if she was the last of her kind
"So what exactly are you skilled with and what all have you seen out in the world?" Yue asked
"Well I'm handy with kunai and I've seen a lot of things, like when we were flying over the desert and a sand shark tried to eat us" Naruto said as he remembered Pyra roasting that overgrown land fish and enjoyed it for lunch as they kept some of the meat to eat
"Perhaps we can broaden your horizon with other weapons, such as a sword or something" Arnook said
"I'm always up for learning a new trick or two" Naruto said as he always liked to learn when fighting was concerned
"Perhaps you can demonstrate your skills to us some time" Arnook said as he felt there was more to Naruto
"I used to be with a circus, I love putting on a show" Naruto said getting some looks of interest
"A circus, what was your specialty?" Yue asked
"Well it first started taking care of the animals but then Ty Lee got me into doing acts and when Pyra got fully grown she joined in with us" Naruto said as said dragon looked at him as she thought he was calling her
"How did you find her anyway?" Yue asked curiously
"I stopped inside a cave to rest and I found her egg, then just last week I found out her father was the same dragon that was with Avatar Roku" Naruto said as that got many looks of surprise "Yeah I had that same look too" he said with a chuckle
"Remarkable, and considering she must've seen you and her when she hatched she believed you and her were her parents" Arnook said
"Yep, and she's been with us ever since" Naruto said as Pyra leaned her head down to him "Haven't you girl" he said as he scratched her chin causing her to foot to start stomping like a dog as she panted
"May I?" Yue asked as she raised her hand to Pyra's face
Pyra sniffed her hand before leaning her snout into Yue's palm
"Amazing, she typically only lets me and Ty Lee touch her" Naruto said as Pyra never really trusted anyone else but them
Pyra looked at the white haired girl and coughed up a fish and sat in front of her
"Yeah, she likes doing that for some reason" Naruto said as it was honestly very disgusting
Everyone groaned disgusted as Pyra just ate the regurgitated fish again
'I swear we need to clean her mouth' Naruto thought as Pyra's breath was beginning to be to much
"Ugh, good day" Arnook said as he and Yue walked away
"You can be a real buzz kill you know that" Naruto said to Pyra who just went back to eating
(next day)
'I swear he is such a show off' Ty Lee thought as Naruto was water walking drawing in the attention of the many who saw this feat watching him do backflips and other things not falling into the water as well as demonstrating his combat skills
"How are you doing that?" Pakku asked as many waterbenders could ride water or force themselves forward
"With chakra" Naruto said simply as it was that simple
"Chakra, is that some other word for Chi?" Pakku asked
'More like the other way around' Naruto thought as he was realizing that chi was basically just the spiritual energy part of chakra
"How did you learn how to do this, how did you gain this chakra?" Pakku asked as his thirst for knowledge was showing
"It was taught to me" Naruto said as he wanted to show off a little and at a blinding speed he did multiple hand signs and made a giant serpent like dragon which surprised many people as they saw it's glowing red eyes and to even further the techniques realty it roared before it became simple water
"Could you teach me?" Pakku asked as that was an incredible technique to behold
"I don't think so" Naruto said as Pakku was way too old to even tap into his chakra coils as one could do it when they were young up till their late teens "one taps into their chakra during adolescence after that basically impossible" he said to him seeing the old man sigh
"Then you should teach me I am the best warrior of my generation" Hahn said
"Best ego if you ask me" Naruto said making some of those present chuckle
"Oh please you are nothing but a show pony imagine what that power could do in the hands of a real warrior" Hahn said arrogantly
"You mean a warrior that's gotten his ass handed to him by a dragon for the past 24 hours?" Naruto said as Pyra heard Hahn's voice and walked next to Naruto and growled at Hahn before licking her lips making the warrior back away slightly "Why do you want to be strong?" he asked him curious as if he'd get it right
"Because-because you want to show off to all of the ladies and act like a big shot, that's not a true reason to gain strength, one musn't use such power for selfish reasons, they should only be used to protect your home and loved ones" Hahn was saying before Naruto interrupted him as he could already tell what Hahn was gonna say based off his arrogant superior tone
"And what's wrong with any of that" Hahn asked him smugly
"Have you not looked through history and have seen some of the avatars of old? How they have abused their powers or just plainly neglected their duties? Absolute power corrupts absolutely, so that's why power shouldn't be put into the hands of egotistical brats like you" Naruto said as he wouldn't teach chakra to someone as arrogant as this idiot
"I demand-" Hahn was saying til Ty Lee delivered a decisive blow to his stomach literally knocking the wind out of him
"You're not gonna demand anything jerk" Ty Lee said as she was tired of hearing his annoying voice "no means no Pyra" she said as the dragon was once again trying to eat Hahn
"Yeah girl, don't want you to catch his stupid" Naruto said with a laugh "but it would be funny when he truly becomes what he is a literal piece of shit" he said thinking it'd be funny
"Little dark" Ty Lee said to him
"What? It's true" Naruto said as he truly believed that
(few hours later)
"You sure you wanna do this old man I don't hold back" Naruto said as he took his shirt off causing all the surrounding females to blush
'Will never get tired of seeing that' Ty Lee thought as Naruto's body was always a sight to behold
'He's gorgeous' Yue thought as she was staring at Naruto's body
"As you would say, shut up and fight" Pakku said as he was liking Naruto's personality as it was something he was very spirited
"Well age before beauty" Naruto said as he dodged quickly 'old man's got game' he thought Pakku getting serious as if this were a real battle
Pakku manipulated the water to make whips around his hands as he moved fluidly trying to strike Naruto who kept maneuvering out of the way of his attacks
"You're gonna have to try harder than that to get me" Naruto said as the old man seemed versatile but didn't seem to do much of anything unique with his style or was very creative
"Alright then" Pakku said as he sent a wave of ice at him like daggers of ice
'That move' Naruto thought freezing in place as he felt himself go back to a certain fight with an ice user he fought
Pyra seeing Naruto freeze up and about to be struck sent a blast of fire at the shards of ice melting them
"Naruto?" Ty Lee said as she approached him and found that Naruto began hyperventilating 'what the hell' she thought as this was a little scary and unsettling and wanted to calm him down
"What's wrong with him?" Pakku asked as they laid Naruto on his back trying to help him
"I don't know" Ty Lee said as she never expected this to happen to Naruto of all people
"What do we do?" Pakku asked as he didn't know what to do
"Hey, hey, Naruto look at me, focus on me" Ty Lee said as she leaned over him and held his head to having him focus on her "I'm here ok I need you to calm down and breath" she said putting heavy emphasis on the breath part
Naruto blinked and when his eyes opened everyone saw his eyes turn lavender and had ripples in them
'The Rinnegan' Kurama thought as he was amazed something like a past experience would awaken the legendary eye of his father
Naruto blinked again and then his eyes turned back to normal and then his breathing began to slow down until he started breathing normally again
"Thank goodness you're alright, you scared us" Yue said in relief
"S-sorry" Naruto said
"Go rest my friend" Pakku said as he helped Naruto up
(Half hour later)
Naruto looked at the setting sun as he petted Pyra who looked at him with worry "Sorry to scare you like that girl, I'm sorry I scared myself like that" he said as he felt the dragon coo as she nuzzled against him
"That eye looks insane" Ty Lee said as his eye was amazing and the design was something else "I heard of a firebender with a fancy eye before but this is insane" she said as Naruto's eye was a true sight to behold
"Huh?" Naruto said as he looked at his reflection and saw the Rinnegan in his eyes
'Didn't think thinking back to that kid you fought would bring it out' Kurama said as he remember that fight as it was the first time Naruto truly tapped into him
'How do I turn it off?' Naruto asked him mentally
'Stop sending chakra to your eyes' Kurama said as it was like that for all doujutsu
Naruto blinked and his eyes turned back to normal
"Oh that's cool, you can turn them back to normal" Ty Lee said as she looked at his eyes
"So what happened to you, the moment Master Pakku used ice you froze" Yue asked as she was here to check on him
"When I was a kid I faced off against a guy who used ice, he just about killed a… friend of mine and I just lost control, I started beating the shit out of him and so when he threw himself in the way of an attack meant for his master… I haven't thought of him in years but that attack by Pakku made his face come right to my mind. The last face I ever saw him make. All he saw himself being was his master's tool, and when I beat him he saw that he no longer had purpose in his life, and it took some words from me to make his master see his true value, and he died killing the man who betrayed him as one last good act before he died beside his student" Naruto said as he may not have thought about it in a while but that day was what truly defined him and made him into the man he was today
"That's so sad" Yue said frozen
"Yes it was, but the experience I had with those two is what made me into who I am today" Naruto said as he was proud to have fought them and got to know them before their lives ended
"Wow." Ty Lee said as for once she was at a loss for words
"Ah, I've brought you two down to the doldrums, hey how's about we go for a flight to cheer us up?" Naruto asked as Pyra perked up when he said flight as she wasn't violent in nature she did like to be scrappy
"Yes" Ty Lee said excited "You're gonna love this" she said to Yue
'It's weird how she can go from sad to happy in the blink of an eye' Kurama said as it honestly perplexed him
Pyra shook herself a little as she opened up her wings
"Nice and easy girl" Naruto said to her as Pyra did the opposite and shot up
Yue held onto him for dear life feeling scared as she had never been this high off the ground
"Show off!" Naruto screamed as Pyra was doing spins as they flew up and kept getting higher and higher
"Make her stop!" Yue said screaming loudly
Pyra smiled as she stopped flapping her wings and did a nose dive
'I swear her ego' Naruto thought as this was insane
"Stop it, Pyra, gah, lunch is coming up" Ty Lee said as she hated when Pyra did this with new people
Pyra stopped and went into a gentle glide as they flew above the clouds
Yue blinked as she felt them go at a gentle pace before she decided to put her arm out and drag it across the cloud enjoying the warm wetness she felt
"Anymore stunts and you go on a diet" Naruto said to Pyra who tensed a little and sweated nervously as eating was her favorite thing to do
"It's beautiful" Yue said as she looked at her home being touched by the light of the setting sun
"Time to land" Naruto said to Pyra who flew back
(few minutes later on the ground)
"Thanks for the ride" Yue said as she petted Pyra in appreciation
"No problem" Naruto said with a grin
Yue felt a strong beat in her chest as she looked at Naruto and felt heat rise in her cheeks she then ran off
"The hell was that about?" Naruto asked getting a groan from Pyra and laughs from Kurama and Ty Lee
"You're cute when you're clueless" Ty Lee said as it was honestly adorable
(1 week later)
"This is to funny" Naruto said as he watched many people he was training try to walk on water and fail spectacularly
"Naruto Uzumaki" Hahn said loudly
'Oh man this fucking idiot' Naruto thought mentally sighing "what do you want dumbass" he said plainly
"I challenge you to an honor battle" Hahn said to him
"... a what?" Naruto asked causing him to face vault
"Basically a pissing contest to see who's better no bending or anything just pure physical gladiator style combat" Ty Lee said as it was similar to Agni kai on principle
"And why should I waste my time with you?" Naruto asked Hahn as anything sounded better than being around this guy
"Ah just as I suspected a coward" Hahn said arrogantly
"I think you're confusing me with a mirror as the only coward I see is in front of me." Naruto said as he didn't like needless fights of fights for something so dumb
"Well maybe I'll just spend some time with ms bendy here" Hahn said looking at Ty Lee before Naruto punched him in the face
"Alright, now you pissed me off" Naruto said as he took his shirt off
"You son of a bitch, you broke my nose!" Hahn said angrily
"Only bitch I see here is you" Ty Lee said with a smile
'Your mother would be proud' Kurama said to Naruto as this girl was someone Kushina would respect
"So coward will you accept the challenge?" Hahn asked
"I'm pretty sure me busting your nose was my answer" Naruto said as he took a stance
"Hahn, you do realize what will happen if you lose" Arnook said
"Please as if this lowly com-" Hahn was saying before Naruto punched him in the face
"You gonna keep running your gums or are you gonna fight?" Naruto asked as he was already bored
Hahn growled angrily as he threw punches at Naruto who easily side stepped them, before groaning loudly as Naruto jabbed his shoulder causing his whole arm to go limp
"Whoo, kick his ass! I taught him that" Ty Lee said as Naruto learned how to numb joints making the limb useless and limp
"What technique is that?" Arnook asked curiously
"It focuses on hitting the shoulder and knees at just the right spot making them completely limp and useless" Ty Lee said as it required incredible force and control to accomplish this
Hahn tried landing a punch with his one arm before Naruto jabbed that shoulder causing it to go limb as well
"Are you done yet?" Naruto asked as he was very bored
Hahn tried to land a kick before Naruto jabbed his ankles causing him to drop to his knees
"Yeah, you're done" Naruto said before he threw a fist to his face but stopped inches from his face and unleashed some wind and knocked Hahn onto his back "Who's the coward now?" he asked Hahn before he passed out
"Whoo!" Ty Lee said as she cheered for Naruto
"Congratulations son" Arnook said to him
"Son?!" Naruto and Ty Lee asked him curiously
"Hahn bet everything on that battle his engagement to my daughter" Arnook said to them
"She was gonna marry this douchebag?!" Naruto said pointing to Yue who was blushing an atomic red then to Hahn
"It was an arranged marriage to happen on her 17th birthday" Arnook said to him
"I don't want to force her into anything Nookie" Naruto said as he purposely said it to him like that
Yue covered her mouth to hold back her laughter from hearing that "I'm o-okay with it Naruto" she said while to having a red face
"I'm okay with it" Ty Lee said getting many looks from everyone there "Oh stop, I read your villages rules about that clan restoration thing" she said as Naruto had a bunch of scrolls and whenever she was bored she'd read one
Kurama laughs hard as Naruto's head turned an atomic red 'looks like your mother will get her wish' he said to Naruto as Kushina wanted a lot of grandbabies
Naruto's eyebrow twitched before he caused a rock to form in his mind scape and made it fall on Kurama
'Not cool, man!' Kurama yelled angrily
"So looks like we're getting another bed buddy" Ty Lee said as she often slept cuddling with Naruto
Naruto quickly fainted after that as he had a massive amount of blood leave his nose
Pyra raced over and began fanning him with one of her wings
Yue turned very red after hearing what Ty Lee said
"I got first dibs" Ty Lee said to her causing her to faint as well
Pyra decided to drag the two away to Naruto's house
(1 week later)
Naruto was in the temple, teaching some children and teenagers how to fight, with Ty Lee as his partner. Yue was watching them alongside the children, Pyra next to her.
"So you see, instead of trying to overpower your opponent, you use their power against them," Naruto said before facing Ty Lee. He threw a punch at her, which she dodged, grabbing the arm and pulling Naruto towards her.
Soon, he ended up pinned on the ground, Ty Lee straddling him, pinning his arms to the sides. "See. Like that. You can let go now, Ty Lee."
"Hm...nope," Ty Lee said before she started giving him kisses.
"H-hey! Stop that!" Naruto exclaimed, blushing as she peppered him with kisses, causing the onlookers to laugh.
Suddenly, they heard the call of a horn, causing them to stop, turning towards the direction of the sea.
"Looks like we have friendly visitors," Yue said, walking towards her fiance and sister.
"Wonder who it could be," Naruto said as he stood up.
"Let's check it out!" Ty Lee exclaimed excitedly as she ran towards the harbor.
Naruto and Yue chuckled before following her, Pyra besides them. As they got closer to the harbor, Naruto could feel some sort of excitement in the air, the people chatting excitedly.
"It's him." a woman said
"So he is alive." a man said
"He's finally here." a old woman said
"They have bison in the North Pole?" Naruto asked as he saw a bison swimming towards the city
"No but we do have Buffalo Yaks, why?" Yue asked before Naruto turned her head and pointed at the sky bison
"People of the northern water tribe the avatar has returned" a man said announcing to the whole tribe
"...He's not serious right Roku sent me for this guy" Naruto said as the war's chances weren't that great in his opinion
"Roku" the boy with blue tattoos said as he jumped off the bison in front in Naruto
"Yes, and you are?" Naruto asked
"I'm Aang, I'm the avatar" Aang said as he confirmed Naruto's suspicions and he reacted how most people would
Naruto burst into laughter "You're just a kid, oh my god" he said as he laughed
(1 hour later)
"So you can use all elements wow roku wasn't kidding when he said a powerful ally was waiting for me here" Aang said as he saw Naruto use the elements
"You can walk on water" Katara said finding that very impressive
"Yeah" Naruto said as he had his foot on Sokka's back as the small pony tail headed boy struggled to get up
"Can't breath, get off" Sokka said weakly
"If I do, will you challenge me again?" Naruto asked as the very scrawny and weak man
"No now please, I think you're bending my spine" Sokka said weakly
"Ok" Naruto said getting off him
"Ow" Sokka said groaning in pain
"Back home, no offense, but you'd probably be the first to die" Naruto said as he remembered what Anko said to him at the forest of death
"Back home? What's that supposed to mean?" Sokka asked as he got up holding his back as he felt sore
"You could say I'm not from around here" Naruto said to them
"Then where are you from?" Katara asked him
"Somewhere not of this world" Naruto said making them all confused
Aang was going to say something before they heard Appa bellowing
They all ran and they saw Pyra trying to attack Appa
"No Pyra no, he's not food" Naruto said as Pyra would eat just about anything
Pyra roared in his face
"Pyra" Naruto said standing his ground before he tossed a fish to the side "There, eat that" he said as they had a little staring contest for a while before she gave in and walked away "We don't eat our friends" he said to her before he heard her grumble "I heard that" he said to her
"You… have a dragon" Aang said thinking that was completely awesome
"Yeah, Pyra's a bit of a hot head" Naruto said before he heard Pyra roar at him "Yeah, I know you heard me!" he said to the dragon "Anyways, I found out her father used to be the same dragon that belonged to Roku, but I found her as a egg and when she hatched she imprinted on me and Ty Lee" he said as it was still awkward
"So you're married through a dragon" Sokka asked carelessly
Pyra heard him and smacked him with her tail
"Thank you" Naruto said tossing her another fish "Although technically I will be married to someone else" he said
"To who?" Katara asked before Naruto pointed at Yue
"She was gonna marry some jackass but when I beat him I apparently then became the man she's supposed to marry" Naruto said
"Wait then what's going on with this Ty Lee?" Aang asked curiously
"I'm dating them both" Naruto said causing Aang and Katara to blush while Sokka got on his knees begging him to teach him and before he could answer Katara kicked him below the belt making both Aang and Naruto groan feeling the blow to their fellow man
"Can you teach me how to waterbend?" Aang asked him
"Hey, I'm not a bender I'm a chakra user" Naruto said as there were similarities but still vast differences "but I can still help you improve" he said as he could help them further understand their elements
"Really, because me and him are both looking for a teacher to help us with waterbending" Katara said as it has been her dream for years
"Well I know the teacher around here, he may be able to help as well" Naruto said
"Cool" Aang said
"Say what exactly is this chakra you were talking about?" Katara asked curious as she was lost in thought of learning from a real master to listen
"It's something your brother desperately needs considering how quick it took me to take him down" Naruto said as Sokka was like a foot soldier recklessly rushing into battle without a care or regard of his own safety "If I give it to a non bender then they gain a specific element or elements of chakra, like how Ty Lee gained lightning chakra" he said as the girl made sparks appear in her hand
"And to those that can bend?" Aang asked curiously
"Typically so far it just gave their bending a boost, I'm sure Yue up there can water bend like you can baldy, once you learn" Naruto said to them as he pointed at Yue who was leading Appa to where he can get something to eat
"Awesome" Aang said as he knew he was a decent bender but knew he was almost always outclassed with people if he fought them in a same element vs element fight
"Yeah well don't get your hopes up, I'm talking to her, apparently Pakku and some of the others believe that women should just stick to healing than actual bending, I hate that" Naruto said as it was sexist and wrong
(Few minutes later)
"I'm sorry you want me to train you" Naruto asked Katara as he knew Pakku denied her like an ass 'wish I can introduce him to Tsunade old hag would've put the old man in a body cast and make him beg her to heal him' he thought remember the woman could destroy mountains with her fingers
"Yes" Katara said in anger filled determination
'Well Pakku is a dead man' Naruto thought as he recognized the look she had
'Hey gaki, didn't Pakku talk about giving a carved necklace to his wife before she left? The thing she's wearing kinda looks like how he described it' Kurama said to him as Pakku and Naruto often spared despite what happened the first time and shared stories with one another and the man told him he made a necklace had the water tribe symbol on it
'Maybe but with how many people there are and the water tribe symbol being well known anyone could've carved that' Naruto said to him not wanting to jump to conclusions so soon based on so little evidence
'Guess if he takes a look he'd know if it is' Kurama said as only Pakku would know if that is the same necklace
"Cool if I get in this to" Sokka said nervously
"That's twice you admitted to needing training" Katara said smugly as she knew about his flame with a certain Kyoshi warrior
"Why do you want to be trained by me? If I like your answer I'll do it, if not then I won't" Naruto said
"I want to be stronger...I'm no help to anyone the way I am now" Sokka said as he knew he had excellent skills in certain areas but he still remembered how easily Zuko beat him along with Suki at the very start of their journey
"Hey come on, you make the best plans" Aang said trying to cheer him up
"Ok puppy tail you, your sister, and baldy get ready" Naruto said as he needed to see how fit they were and out of all of them Sokka seemed less fit as despite his small muscles he was less muscular than Aang and Katara
(few hours later)
"You two ready to give?" Naruto asked Aang and Katara as Sokka was knocked out
"H-hold on" Sokka said as he tried to get up "I ain't done yet" he said
'They have spirit I'll give them that' Naruto thought to himself as he knew Aang didn't really need this training as airbenders reached peak physical condition it was astounding as he had to admit Aang was much faster than him
"What… he said" Katara said as she panted in exhaustion
'She seems to be ok' Naruto thought as Katara seemed to be a little lacking in certain physical activities but her skills as a bender were extraordinary from what he's seen
'Look who's watching' Kurama said as Naruto glanced over and saw Pakku watching them
'Think he'll change his mind?' Naruto asked him
'Who knows, these kids certainly show promise, I'll give them that' Kurama said as he knew potential when he saw it and also knew Pakku was a blow hard so he should be mildly entertained with what happened next
"Alright, that's enough for today" Naruto said as from how the others looked they looked at the brink of passing out
"Is getting our buts handed to us the only way to access chakra?" Sokka asked him in exhaustion
"No you gotta meditate for that this was to see how well you can perform" Naruto said as a healthy and strong body contributed to chakra
"Oh, I guess that makes sense" Aang said as he knew about physical and spiritual energy very well and knew like the world there needed to be balance
Katara just stared up at Pakku as if expecting him to say something
"Hey Katara, if you don't mind me asking where'd you get that necklace? It's pretty nice" Naruto asked subtly trying to gather the necklace's origin
"I got it from my grandmother" Katara said fondly
'Shit' Naruto thought thinking to many things were adding up "What was her name?" he asked her
"Kanna" Katara said
'I swear the universe loves to fuck with people' Kurama said to him as this was hilarious
"Did you say Kanna?" Pakku asked as he was listening closely
"Yes, did you know my gran-gran?" Katara asked him as she knew her grandmother was originally from here
"Know her? She was my fiance" Pakku said shocking the group except Naruto
"You were gonna marry my grandmother?" Katara said surprised
"Yes, I carved that necklace you're wearing for her" Pakku said as he looked at her
'You gonna replace that dumbasses necklace around Yue's neck?' Kurama asked him curiously
"If you'll excuse me, I gotta go" Naruto said before he ran off
(couple hours later)
We see Naruto laying down looking at the stars with Yue and Ty Lee just enjoying the cool air as they looked to the sky which was full of stars
They hear Pyra yelp as she pulled her hand out of the water as a clam snapped on one of her fingers before she pried it off
"I got something for the two of you" Naruto said as he handed Ty Lee a ruby encrusted hair pin and Yue an engagement necklace with the Uzumaki clan symbol
"It's beautiful" Yue said as she tossed away Hahn's poorly made necklace
"Amazing, where'd you find the rubies?" Ty Lee asked
"Thanks, that's my clans symbol I put on your necklace and I found the rubies with some help from Pyra" Naruto said as the dragon liked to find and keep shiny objects
The two surprised Naruto as first Ty Lee pulled him into a kiss before Yue did the same
(few weeks later)
'Well at least the warriors can use chakra through their weapons' Naruto thought as the soldiers he taught were able to channel chakra through their weapons and walk on water 'wish they had chakra metal it'd be better to use' he thought as regular metals could conduct chakra alright but chakra metal did it the best
'Work with what you got' Kurama said as he didn't know if this world even had chakra metal to use
'Yep' Naruto said to him and soon saw Pyra in the air approaching him and the moment she landed she nudged him "What's wrong girl?" he asked
Suddenly black snow began to come down from the sky
'This isn't good' Naruto thought as he could smell it immediately and knew that this was ash 'and when there's ash theres a ship' he thought knowing this much meant there were many ships
Naruto got on Pyra's back as she flew upward into the sky and saw a battalion of ships 'oh shit' he thought as that was a lot of ships with no doubt a large amount of soldiers in them
