The Wanderer

The Party

After Naruto's date he realized he was still in the suit given to him. He had his clothes in a brown paper bag, but he was still in a slight daze. Asuma was in the room and noticed this.

"Hey, Naruto you alright?" Asuma asks sitting at the table
"Huh? Yeah" Naruto
"Where've you been?" He asked raising an eyebrow
"I went...on a....date" he answered
"A date?"
"Yeah with a pretty girl"
"How...was it?" Asuma asked unsure of the question himself
"Good, I'm going to meet her tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?"

Naruto then went to his room and changed back into his usual outfit. He then laid-back on his bed and drifted to sleep with a smile on his face.

The Next Morning

Naruto was the first to wake up and went to go train he was waiting for the time of his second date with Asami. He was nervous again, but he soon began to calm down as he trained. That's when he noticed an elderly woman, he then began to walk to her and confronted her.

"Hello, may I ask you who you are?" Naruto asked politely
"I'm here with an invitation for Avatar Korra"
"What's it for?"
"It's for a gala that's being held 8n her honor"
"Okay, I'll take it to her"

She handed it to him and left. Naruto then walked back into the Temple as he did everyone was up and saw him enter.

"Good morning Naruto" Tenzin greeted him
"Oh good morning" he said turning to the others
"What's that?" Korra asked
"It's an invitation to a gala in your honor"
"From who?" Pema asked
"Taarlok" he said plainly
"What?" Korra asked slightly angered
"The woman said that everyone in Republic City will be there" Naruto explained
"Looks like we have to go" Tenzin sighed
"We'll follow you there and stay out of sight" Asuma told them with Zabuza and Haku nearby

Naruto then looked at the clock and saw it was four-thirty. He then left without saying anything.

"Where's he going?" Korra asked with a raised eyebrow
"Seems he's headed for his date" Asuma said out loud

This caused everyone to looked at him in suprise

Republic City Park

Naruto had just got there in time and then began to wait. It wasn't very long when he saw her pull up in her Satomobile.

"Hey you here good, get in" she said with the window down
He then got in the car and they drove off.
"I'll never get over this" he said out loud
"What driving?" She asked
"Yeah we never had anything like this back home last night was my first time in one" he confessed
"Well what do you think?"
"It's amazing"

They then stopped at a red light watching cars go pass as they wait for the light to turn green. She then got a little worried about something.

"So...Naruto?" She asked hesitantly
"Yeah" he asked looking at her
"Ummm....there's this gala happening later tonight and I was wondering if....you would like....to go...with me?" She asked driving as the light turned green.
"Hmmm.....sure" He said with a huge smile
"Great!" She said with relief smile

As they continued to drive they began to talk again. Both shared some stories and both laughed when something funny happened. It was soon getting late and Asami offered to take Naruto to go get a nice suite for the party. They both entered a suite store Naruto got a nice black suite as Asami got another black dress with a black lining.

"Wow" Naruto said amazed at her beauty
"Huh...thanks" she said with a blush
"You don't look so bad yourself"
"Oh thank you"

They were alerted to the sound of Asami's father coming in.

"Asami are you done getting your dress"
"Oh yes dad" she answered approaching him
"And who is this?" He asked noticing Naruto
"Oh sorry this is my date Naruto. Naruto this is my dad Hiroshi Sato"
"Oh...ah hello Mr. Sato" he said bowing
"Oh it's nice to meet you as well" He said returning his gesture
"I heard you were trying to help your friends on the fire ferrets get into the tournament..."
"Ugh...yes I am"
"Well I'll be happy to sponsor them if you'll have it"
"Yes,thank you!" Naruto said with a great big smile
"Well then we should get going before we end late"

They all entered a elongated version of the Satomobile driving off.

At The Gala

Korra's team had entered with Tenzin and his family. Naruto and Asami were on the opposite side of the room.

As they mingled Naruto had spotted his new friends and rushed over to them.

"Korra!" Naruto said rushing towards
"Naruto? What are you doing here?"
Korra asked a bit suprised
"Oh I was invited, but anyway I solved your problem funding the tournament" Naruto said in excitement
"What really?" Mako asked suprised
"Yep!"
"Naruto!" A beautiful girl said walking up to him
"Everyone this is Asami"
"Hello everyone"
"And this is her dad" he said greeting them
"Wait you're Hiroshi Sato the biggest Industrialist in the city!" Mako said shocked
"Yes, and I have to decided to sponsor you in the tournament"
"What really!?" Bolin said still shocked

It was then when Taarlok came by and snatched Korra away from everyone.

"Korra please answer these nice reporters questions" He said gesturing to them
"Avatar Korra question why are you in Republic City?"
"Ugh I came here to finish my avatar training and that's all"
"So why haven't decided to deal with Amon?"
"Is it because you're afraid of him!?"
"No! I'm not afraid-"

It was this moment until Naruto completely ignored the conversation. He felt something familiar that it was all he was focused on.

"So I'll join Taarlok's task force!"
"That's your headline folks!" Taarlok said pushing her away from them

When Naruto came through he was too late to stop his plan. In a moment someone came crashing in. It was several Equalists with Hidan leading them.

"I'm back!!"
