Chapter 1: Naruto, the Earth Bender

Avatar The Last Airbender Universe

Earth Kingdom [Underground Arena]

In the arena, there were two fighters, and a referee to the side whose job is to watch the match carefully, ready to step in if needed. Around them was a massive crowd of people, mostly from the Earth Kingdom, but there were Water Tribe and even Fire Nation citizens in the stands.

What were they here for? Well, the answer to that is simple: to watch two powerful benders duke it out until one of them is unable to fight or dies, which is rare but does happen.

This was the underground fighting arena where it does not matter which nation you belong to; all are welcome to fight and bid their money on the matches.

There was one rule of the underworld facility: no fighting outside of the arena. Otherwise, you could be punished by never being able to attend any matches in the future, or even death.

For how they would keep one from returning to the underground Arena if they were banished is simple yet complicated. They never hold the fights in the same place; it is always moved to a new location that earth benders create.

In the arena right now is a familiar red-haired eighteen-year-old with blue eyes. He is Naruto Uzumaki or his reincarnation. The former blonde, now redhead, came to this world after his confrontation with Isshiki.

Flashback Scene Ahead

Naruto Universe

Elemental Nation [Dimension: ???]

Naruto was not having a good day. He was fighting a dickhead Otsutsuki named Isshiki who was wearing a monk name Jigen's body like a flesh suit.

Isshiki was devastatingly powerful to the point that he kicked both his and Sasuke's collective asses as if they owed him money. The sad part is that the Otsutsuki was not using his full power because he was inhabiting the body of a monk named Jigen, with whom he was not compatible, limiting his strength.

Isshiki had sealed him away while Sasuke escaped. Later, Sasuke returned to the Otsutsuki pocket dimension to save him with the help of his son, Boruto Uzumaki, who had been marked with a karma seal, which was turning him into an Otsutsuki slowly.

Boruto managed to free his father from the seal with his karma seal, but Isshiki appeared in his true form, and everything went wrong. He beat the living crap out of them once more, The only good thing is that without a suitable vessel, the Otsutsuki is gonna kick the bucket in a day..

Isshiki was taking his rage out on Boruto being the shit out of him making the young Uzumaki cry out in pain.

While Naruto, who was trapped between two giant cubes, and Sasuke, who was impaled by a black chakra rod, could listen on helplessly.

"Hey Naruto, you wanna keep fighting and take down that annoying Otsutsuki?" Kurama's voice rang in Naruto's head.

"Yeah, I want to win, but honestly, I can't compete with him," Naruto said weakly, knowing that the power gap between him and Isshiki was just too huge; the guy was stronger than Kaguya, whose power was no joke.

"I've got a plan for us to win, but it might cost us our lives," Kurama said, checking Naruto's mind for any hesitation, but saw none.

Naruto said with a real smile, "So, this is it! I’ve been ready for this since before I became Hokage. Let’s go, Kurama!"

"Alright then," Kurama said, not expecting anything different from his partner, "This new power is different; it is not an enhancement like Sage Mode. It is a new energy using my chakra and your chakra by smashing them together."

Naruto didn't comprehend what Kurama was saying, but he felt a surge of power unlike anything he had felt before, making the Uzumaki feel unstoppable; but at the same time, it was odd.

"If I have less chakra than you, Kurama, wouldn't my chakra run out first and I die, and you would live?" Naruto reasoned, but only got silence as a response, "If you plan to use only a part of my chakra along with all of yours to access this power, then you would eventually disappear while I remain."

Kurama remained silent once more, prompting Naruto to delve into his mind to confront the tailed beast. He was determined not to allow his friend to sacrifice himself so easily.

Mindscape

Naruto appeared in his mind in front of Kurama but his face was one of shock because before him, his lifelong friend was on fire radiating power.

Naruto expressed his astonishment, asking, "What is happening, Kurama? What are you doing?"

"Why are you here Naruto,get out there and defeat the Otsutsuki," Kurama growled angrily ignoring Naruto questions.

"I'm not going anywhere until you answer me. You know I've got all the time in the world," Naruto said, thinking that time works differently in his mind, so he could chill here for an hour while just a minute ticks by outside.

"Naruto, stop being so stubborn and grab this chance I'm giving you!" Kurama yelled, but it didn't faze Naruto; he just crossed his arms and stared defiantly at the tail beast, "Look, I lied, only I will die if I use this power but I will be reborn somewhere else sooner or later so it is okay, now get out there and beat that Otsutsuki."

Naruto looked at Kurama with two big red eyes. "What happens when you die? Will you remember me when you come back?" the blonde Uzumaki asked with emotion, making Kurama's resolve falter.

"I have no idea," Kurama said slowly. He'd never died before, and it honestly freaked him out, but he had to do this for his only friend.

Kurama watched Naruto bow his head in silence, then his head snapped up with a look of determination on his face.

Naruto extended his fist to Kurama, making the tailed beast eat. The idiot wanted to mix their powers, but that would mean his death.

"Don’t you get what I’m saying? Even if I die, I’ll come back. But if you die, it’s game over," Kurama tried to explain to Naruto, but the blonde just gave a sad smile.

"I’m not gonna let a friend take a risk for me if I’m not ready to do it myself," Naruto responded, making Kurama fall quiet. "Let's have our last battle together, partner, and show the Otsutsuki all we have."

Kurama looked at Naruto, and images of all the battles they fought and everything they have been through coursed through his mind, bringing a tear to his eyes before he wiped it away, hoping Naruto didn't notice. But the mischievous smile on his face said otherwise.

"Alright, but don’t come crying to me about what’s gonna happen," Kurama said, knowing Naruto wouldn’t give up, and they bumped fists.

The effect was instantaneous; Naruto lit up like a Christmas tree with blue flames all over his body. The Uzumaki groaned in pain, but he willed himself to not succumb to it.

"Let's go, Kurama!" Naruto shouted, bursting out of his mind with even more power than before, thanks to Kurama and his power combining.

Naruto emerged transformed, his body was giving off orange and blue energy, he had nine tails behind him that looked more like burning wings.

Flashback Scene End

The referee announced, "Fighters ready, begin," as he lowered his raised hand to signal the start of the match.

Naruto checked out his opponent, a big, buff guy with a long braid and a bald head. He looked like your classic Earth bender—more muscle than brains—but you know what they say, looks can be deceiving.

"Give up, punk; you can't beat the Invincible Mountain." The man with a shaved head spoke in a patronizing manner, showcasing his muscles while observing the crowd striking foolish poses.

No, he was as dumb as he looked, Naruto thought with a blank face as he watched the idiot make a fool out of himself. The match had already started, and the mountain, as he called himself, left himself wide open for an attack.

Naruto did not bother to get into an earth bending stance; he just made a gesture with his right hand, and a pillar of earth erupted from the ground into the mountain's gut, sending the man flying. Then he bounced off the arena wall back onto the ground, unconscious.

The referee announced, "The winner of the match is the bloody spike," which was met with an initial deafening silence as spectators struggled to grasp how the match concluded so swiftly with a single shot.

Naruto groaned as he heard the nickname that he got in the arena. It was due to one of his signature attacks; he would use his earth bending to compress boulders into sharp spears and launch them at blinding speeds.

More than a few of his opponents had met their end at that attack, their blood would rain over the arena including himself soaking his already red head making it crimson like blood.

BOO BOO BOO BOO

Naruto rolled his eyes when the crowd started booing him. He wasn't there to put on a show, just to work on his skills and make some cash.

The redhead walked out of the arena so that they could start the next match while the mountain was taken away on a stretcher to get treatment. Naruto was sure that some of the man's ribs and organs might have been damaged by his attack, but it was his own fault for dropping his guard in a match.

Fast Forward

Earth Kingdom [Gaoling]

Naruto sighed as he arrived home at the Beifong residence, where he was fulfilling his role as an earth bending teacher for a blind girl named Toph.

Toph is a spunky earth bender with dark hair and gray unseeing eyes. She is short, but though it's that most don't know, including her own, she can see through the use of her bending with seismic senses through her feet.

Naruto had taken the job as Toph teacher because it came with two perks, one is the pay is great and two is Poppy Beifong, the Lady of the house is a complete slut.

Upon entering the estate, Naruto found himself needing to defend against a sudden onslaught of boulders thrown by his unruly student, Toph Beifong.

Naruto punched through the boulders then stomped on the ground making a tremor, temporarily disabling Toph's ability to see, With a sudden surge of speed, he lifted the young earth bender off the ground by the back of her shirt.

"Hey, let me go!" the little earth bender said, trying to break free, but Naruto just looked at her, annoyed yet amused.

"Is there a particular reason you attacked me?" Naruto asked curiously as his student acted.

Initially, Toph did not respond; instead, she exerted more effort to free herself than before, ultimately conceding that it was futile.

"You went to those underground bending games without me," Toph said quietly, looking away from Naruto.

Naruto let out a sigh. He could understand what Toph was going through; her parents were overbearing, mostly because their daughter is blind, so they saw her as helpless and weak.

Toph couldn't leave the Beifong compound by herself, which makes sense for the red haired Uzumaki if he didn't know that Toph can see with her earth bending; otherwise, he'd be worried about her safety too.

"Yeah, I did, since your mom grounded you for breaking her vase," Naruto said with annoyance on his face, "We both know you broke it on purpose because she made you wear a dress when those nobles came to see your parents."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Toph said, pretending to be innocent, but she could feel Naruto's blank stare making her shoulders slump in defeat, "I only did it because she joked about me marrying her friend's son."

Naruto exhaled deeply, recognizing that Toph was a strong-willed tomboy and an independent individual; it would require a unique man to win her over.

"How about next time I take you with me?" Naruto said, making Toph get a happy look. "But you still attacked me earlier. If I was not as awesome as I am, I would have been seriously hurt, so I will have to punish you."

Toph gulped, knowing what was coming, as Naruto got a wicked look on his face while carrying her inside. The female earth bender struggled all the while, even more than earlier.

Fast Forward

Toph walked out of Naruto room rubbing her sore behind while grumbling, the red head had spanked her, something that even her parents have never done but she knew that for this reason she respected Naruto more than her parents, whom she loved but could never see as authority figures.

Be it trained or anything else, Naruto was a taskmaster; he treated her like any other person, not the blind daughter of a noble. But there was one thing she could do without knowing, and that is Naruto's affair with her mother, Poppy Beifong.

Most people don’t realize that she sees kind of like a bat, but instead of using sound, she picks up vibrations from the Earth.

That meant she can see, for instance, if someone was jumping on a bed because the vibration would move through the earth to her feet; then she would get an image inside her head of the person on the bed.

Toph had a blush on her face as she felt the vibrations coming from her parents' room; she knew her father was out because of a gathering, and her mother claimed that she was not feeling well and stayed behind.

It was disheartening that the only man she was interested in was involved with her mother; however, Toph recognized that her greatest quality was her determination and her phat ass cheeks.

The Earth bender could feel men turn around to sneak a peek any time she would wear anything extra tight when she trained or walked around in dresses her mother would buy for her that were just a little too short and showed too much skin.

Toph got flustered as she felt what Naruto and Poppy were doing in her parents' room, a plan started to go through her head: she would get her man even if she had to steal him from her mother.
