The New Avatar Awakens

A small blond haired boy in a white t-shirt and blue shorts was sitting on a chair in front of a large desk, legs dangling off the edge, a giant smile marred on his 'whiskered' face, threatening to split his face in half. This was Uzumaki Naruto, village pariah, and container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine Tailed Fox), though he didn't know It yet.

Today was October 10th, Naruto's fifth birthday. Today was also the anniversary of the 'death' of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox; so many people were in the town square (1) drinking, eating, playing games, and did I mention drinking? There were fireworks booming in the air, lighting the sky in an array of colors.

But that's not what got Naruto this happy. What got Naruto happy was that every year his surrogate grandfather, to which he affectionately dubbed 'Jiji', would get Naruto a present like every other kid Naruto saw. It wasn't the fact that he was getting material position, but what it represented. As far back as he could remember, people always hated him and he never knew why.

But when his birthday comes around, 'Jiji' always makes him feel special and wanted, like he mattered. So here he was, waiting patiently with a smile that beamed of happiness.

That's when he heard the door creak open to revile an elderly man with grey hair a goatee and a face with a few liverspots dotted on his face, as well as two lines going down both of his eyes, wearing traditional Hokage robes and a triangular shaped hat on his head with the kanji for 'Fire' in the middle.

This was Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sandaime Hokage, also known as 'The Professor'. When Naruto saw Jiji, his smile only grew. He quickly hopped off the chair and ran at the Kage before crashing into him, making the old shinobi stumble back before looking down and seeing Naruto giving him the strongest hug a five year old could muster.

Naruto looked up at the smiling face of the Hokage. "Hey there Jiji!" Naruto exclaimed, grinning up a storm. "Hello Naruto-kun and happy birthday. 5 is a big number, you sure you could take on the responsibility?" Sarutobi asked, only for Naruto to nod vigorously up and down, all while grinning. "I sure am!" Naruto replied, letting go and standing back putting on a face of innocence, hands behind his back swaying back and forth on his feet. "So, Jiji…what'd you get me." Naruto asked, feigning innocence that Hiruzen just smiled at.

Sarutobi stepped beside Naruto before walking over to his desk and reaching under and pulling out a large chest, to which Naruto had a look of shock, curiosity and excitement.

When Sarutobi reached Naruto, he placed the chest onto the ground with a dull 'thud', keyhole facing Naruto. Sarutobi then reached over and pulled the top towards him. When the chest was fully open, Naruto was greeted by the sight of tons of toys that filled the chest to the brim.

The blond could barely recognize that the old man was trying to get his attention. Finally snapping out of his stupor, Naruto looks at the Hokage who was smiling at him. "These are a lot of toys I used to play with when I was your age, and some of the toys are probably older than I. So I thought that giving some to you might pass on the legacy that these toys might hold. You can pick out two toys that you want. But, seeing as it's your birthday, I'll let you pick out four (2)." Sarutobi said, holding up four fingers, making Naruto jump up and down before jumping into the arms of the 'God of Shinobi', and saying 'Thank you!' over and over again before he ran over to the chest and started to dig through the toy chest, making the Hokage laugh, as Naruto's head and half of his torso was buried in the toys.

When Naruto finally surfaced he had toys in a make-shift hammock using his shirt, four toys were lounging in said hammock. When Sarutobi saw the toys, his eyebrow raised. "Naruto, those toys are very old, probably the oldest their. What made you choose those?" Sarutobi asked, the blond getting a look wonder before shrugging. "Dunno. It might sound weird, but they seen kind of familiar." Naruto replied, looking at the toys.

His choice of toys was strange to say the least. The first one was a small clay turtle. It didn't look all that special that the boy would instantly pick it out, but to each his own.

The second toy was something that looked like a fan with a ripcord, and when Naruto pulled the cord, the propeller started spinning and floated up before flying around, making the blond smile as well as the old man.

His third choice was a wooden monkey. Like the turtle, there was nothing that special about it, just a wooden monkey. But since it made Naruto happy, he wouldn't question it.

The last toy was an orange hand drum with a yellow spiral pattern swirling into the middle, with green beads and a wooden handle. Naruto chose this one mainly because he saw kids on the street playing with them.

Naruto was grinning like a fool, and Sarutobi was smiling kindly at Naruto. It was a wonder how people thought of Naruto as a demon when he acts just like a child is supposed to at his age. "Ne, Naruto. How about I take you out for some ramen? You can eat as much as you want, my treat." Sarutobi asked, getting a shout of 'Yatta!' from Naruto, who was cradling his new precious items in his arms. Little did Naruto know that choosing those toys would alter the course of the ninja world.

Time Skip: 7 Years Later

A blond haired boy that looked about 12 years old was lying on a bed, in a run-down apartment building, reflecting on the recent events that transpired just a few hours ago.

A few hours ago, his 'sensei' tricked him into stealing the 'Forbidden Scroll of Sealing' as a way of graduating. Just a few hours ago, Naruto found out that he was container to the Kyuubi no Kitsune. And just a few hours ago, Naruto found the true meaning of strength by protecting Iruka-sensei, and was finally able to become a ninja.

The more Naruto kept thinking about it, the more Naruto reflected on his own life. He wasn't liked much. And the people who did were very few. Naruto kept looking at the ceiling, eyes not looking away for anything. 'Maybe I should just run away from it all. I wonder what would happen.' Naruto thought, eyes slowly starting to close, finally succumbing to the darkness.

Then suddenly, Naruto's eyes shot open and sat up panting. After a while, his breathing slowed, and he looked around and saw that he was in his apartment and wiped the sweat that was on his forehead before swinging his feet over the edge of his bed and leaning forward, holding his head in his right hand. 'It was just a dream.' Naruto thought, looking at the clock and seeing '3:27 AM', and the blond groaned.

Standing up, Naruto walked out of his bedroom, past the garbage on the floor, silently reminding himself to clean up, and walked to the kitchen. There was a cup next to the small sink, but when Naruto reached to pick it up, two things happened. First, Naruto's hand went right through the glass. And second, Naruto screamed and fell on his ass.

Looking at his hand, which was shaking, Naruto saw that he was blue, and transparent. Getting up, Naruto reaches for the glass again to get the same results. "What the hell is happening!" Naruto yelled out loud, gaining no answer. That's when Naruto got a look relief. "I must still be dreaming." Naruto said walking back into his bedroom, only to see his bed was occupied by a body, or more specifically, his body, which for some strange reason, was sitting on his bed, in a meditative position.

He started chanting in his head, 'Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!' Naruto slowly started walking up to his body, checking the breathing and seeing it breathing steadily, ruling out the idea that he was dead.

There was still the option that he was asleep, but how would he check that. Maybe pinching himself would work. Pinching his arm, he winched (3). 'Ok, maybe this isn't a dream.' Naruto thought, sitting Indian style on the floor in front his body and waited.

After a few minutes, Naruto was getting impatient, and furiously rubbed his hair while screaming to himself. "How the hell am I going to get back into my body!" Naruto yelled to the heavens before letting out a sigh.

Suddenly he heard a low growl. It wasn't a predator's growl that you would hear of a lion or a wolf. It was a growl that came off something bigger. Running towards his door he tries to open the knob his hands, only to have them pass through before he smacked himself on the forehead. 'Duh, I couldn't pick up a cup, let alone open a door.' Naruto thought before getting an idea.

Placing his hand on the door, Naruto pushed, only for his hand to pass through the door. Gaining enough courage, Naruto pushed his whole body through the door, falling on his face when he was all the way through.

Standing up, Naruto brushes himself off, and starts his trek down the stairs after hearing another growl that was louder than before, meaning the beast was getting closer, and for some strange reason, Naruto wasn't afraid of the growl.

When he made it out of the building, he looked around the deserted streets for any sign of the beast, only seeing a few street lights in the moonlight, but nothing that would make a growl.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over the blond, blocking out the moonlight. What little ninja training Naruto had kicked in, and he was able to jump back and avoid a large shadowy figure, which by the size of it, was probably the owner of the noise.

Naruto, who was on his back after dodging the thing, sat up and leaned on his arm and shielded his eyes with the other as the dust kicked up before looking up, with awe at the thing that was right before his eyes.

The creature in front of the blond was white with a brown arrow on its head, curved horns on the side of its round head. But attached to the horns was a long rope that went across its head, so maybe it was meant for riding. Looking around the thing, he sees that it has six legs and the brown marking on its head extended behind his back, and ended at its flat tail. He saw that there was a saddle on its back, meaning it was meant for multiple people to ride on it.

It let out a loud roar, making Naruto scream, and looked directly at Naruto before stepping forward making Naruto scoot back. When Naruto hit something, he looked back and saw that he hit something hard. Turning his head, Naruto sees that his back has hit one of the many street lamps. Looking back, he sees the think getting closer until he could feel it breathing before the beast opened its mouth. Closing his eyes, and raising his arms in a futile attempt to evade the inevitable.

What he got was not what he expected. Instead of him being bit and chewed into by the beast, a rough, wet surface covered his body, making him wet and sticky. Rubbing it out of his eyes, he looks up and sees the 'monster' looking at in the eyes, with not hunger, but amusement.

Standing up, Naruto hesitantly makes his way over to the thing, which in turn lowered hesitantly reached out with his hand, and finally paced it on the head of the horned monster. Mustering up enough courage, Naruto slowly strokes the soft fur on its head of it. Seeing no signs of hostility, Naruto continued, getting a groan from the giant.

Naruto started smiling. Although the creature was defiantly intimidating, it was just a big softy, though Naruto knew better than to count out that it couldn't fight.

"Well, it seems that your not going to eat me, ne?" Naruto asked, getting a loud groan, and a lick from the fluffy animal. Suddenly a flood of pictures entered the blonds mind. They showed a middle-aged man wearing an orange, yellow, and brown robe with a cleanly shaven head and blue arrow tattoos on the backs of his hands and on the middle of his bald head, ending at his eyebrows, grinning like a fool as he rode on the same beast that was in front of him (4). "Appa, yip-yip!" The man yelled, getting a groan from the newly dubbed 'Appa'.

Another flash, and Naruto was staring in the face of Appa. "Whoa. What was that?" Naruto asked, hoping to get an answer from Appa, instead he got another groan before Appa turned and walked a few feet away from the blond jinchuriki. Finally stopping, the giant bison lowers its tail and turns its head to look at Naruto, as though telling him to get on. Naruto looked at him for a second. "Do you want me to get on?" Naruto asked, wondering if that's what he wanted before getting a nod and a growl from Appa.

Stepping on Appa's tail, Naruto walked cautiously onto the saddle on its back before getting to the front and leaping over the edge of the saddle, onto Appa's head, but Appa didn't take off. Remembering that vision, Naruto grabbed the reins that were attached on its horns, and with a whip Naruto yelled, "Appa, yip-yip!" Appa then raised his tail before slamming it down. But instead of cracking the ground, the tail lifted them of the ground, making Naruto exclaim and hold onto the reins for dear life.

When Naruto got the courage to, he opened his eyes and was awed at the sight before him. He was flying over Konoha, which was highlighted by the streetlights and moonlight, giving off an aura that made it look like it was glowing. The wind through his hair gave Naruto the feeling of freedom, like he wasn't bound by the tight chain Konoha had around him, keeping him from feeling this kind of freedom.

The sky bison starting heading north-east towards Kumogakure in the lightning country. Despite what many believe, Naruto did pay attention in class, or at least to the less boring ones.

"Hey boy! Why are we going to Kumo? You do know that we're not allies?" Naruto asked, unsure if he even knew that. Appa just groaned and kept flying in the direction of the lightning country. Naruto looked at Appa with a frown. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Sitting cross-legged, Naruto puts his right elbow on his knee, and resting his chin into the palm of his right hand.

"This is going to take awhile, and even after I get my answers, I'm most likely going to have a huge headache afterwards, huh?" Naruto questioned to no one before leaning back and closing his eyes. 'I wonder who that guy was in my vision. Whoever he was, he had better have some answers.' Naruto thought, closing his eyes and enjoying the cool breeze as he lay down on the soft fur of the sky bison, dreaming of being a great ninja and having awesome adventures with the Hokage's hat on his head.

Little did Naruto know, that his real adventure, was about to begin.

Done!

1. I don't know if there is actually a town square in Konoha, but for the sake of Fan Fiction, there is.

2. Sarutobi doesn't know that Naruto is the Avatar, and him, allowing Naruto to pick out four toys is just irony.

3. I don't if people can feel in the spirit world or not, but for the sake of Fan Fiction, he can.

4. If you haven't guessed, it's a middle aged Aang. His robes are the same that he wore when he invaded the fire nation.

Okay this is my new story which is another crossover. I've seen a lot of Naruto\Avatar TLAB crossovers where Naruto is sent to the Avatar world or someone from the avatar world is sent to the Naruto world, but I don't think I've seen a lot of fics where Naruto is the avatar, going through the life of a ninja. Like I said before, inuboy86 gave me this idea, so yah. The girls in the harem will be listed below.

Terumi Mei

Hinata

Shion

Right now that's all, but there will be more. I will also be holding a poll to see what Naruto's animal guide will be, so please vote. But I will probably not have a Kitsune in the poll, mostly because it's too cliché, but I will put it in the poll incase people do want a Kitsune. Other than that, thanks for reading.

Ja ne, Ryuu
