The Wanderer

Korra's Training

Naruto had just got Shino, Ino, Shikamaru, along with Mako and Bolin who knew the city more than them. Those who went on patrol with the police were Rock Lee, Choji, Kiba and Akamaru. Those who went to the factory were Sakura, Asami and Haku. Asuma and Zabuza decided to stay at Air Temple Island thinking it too dangerous to left unguarded, but to Konohamaru's ever persistent spirit he was unable to go on either of the missions. So he sat at the table pouting a bit, Jinora saw that he was upset and decided to ask him.

"Why do you always want to go on missions?" She asked a bit curious
"Because I won't get strong like big brother Naruto or uncle Asuma!" He answered loudly
"Isn't it dangerous?" She asked a bit worried at his eagerness
"Yes, but..."

Konohamaru was in deep thought he had heard that at one point Naruto and his team had went on a B rank mission when he was younger.

"Cause big brother Naruto did a super hard mission when he was my age so I want to prove that I can to" he answered with fire in his eyes
"Why do you call big brother? Is he your big brother?"
"No, but he's always cheered me on and motivated me to get stronger so I call him that" he said with a big grin  across his face

She was shocked to be truthful, Konohamaru was much matured than she originally thought.

"He are you okay?" He asked seeing her stare at him
"Wha!? Oh sorry yeah I am" she said with a small blush across her cheeks

He just gave her a very confused look, but soon after smiled.

"Wait what about me?" Korra asked
"It's too dangerous for you to go out" Tenzin explained
"But I can help!" She protested
"Korra" Asuma said walking calmly to her
"We can't afford to lose you, Amon is on the hunt for you so tay here, and once you're needed we'll call on you" he explained to her

She looked at him with saddened eyes, but understood his reason then simply nodded.

"Alright and hey maybe we can work on your training"
"Really?" She said instantly lighting up
"Yes, so go get ready" he commanded as she ran to prep

Tenzin then sighed turned to Asuma who was taking a cigarette out.

"You sure have a way with kids" he said
"Well I was a teacher for some years" he said lighting it
"Well what ever the case it certainly gives you more credit"

The tracking group left immediately so that they could get a head start. The Patrol team left as well after the police were prepared, The Infiltration team made their way to the factory hoping nothing was changed.

Korra had gotten warmed up so that Asuma could train her.

Training Grounds

Korra began to stretch as Asuma exhaled some smoke making his way towards her.

"So how are we goin to do this?" She asked
"We're going to get in contact with that energy first" he answered
"What? Why?"
"That's where we left off from last time"
"Ok then" she said raising an eyebrow
"What I want you to do is close your eyes and to relax, picture the energy in front of you"

Korra began to breath in and out, trying to visualize it. Her mind a blank canvas, but then in a single moment she saw a low shade of blue taking form of an orb.

"I can tell you have it, now let it flow have it come naturally to you"

His voice guided her, but never distracting she then began to perform subtle movements causing her chi to move freely throughout her body. Her breathing steady, mind focused, body moving to the element and in a single thrust her body made a small gust of wind burst out. Her eyes almost shot out of her head as she was suprised by the show of energy.

"Wow did you see that!?" She shouted in excitement
"Yes I did, and it seemed that you did very well on your visualization" he replied taking a drag of his cigarette
"So what do we do now?"
"First, just because you did that little trick doesn't mean you're ready for the big stuff yet alright" he explained
"What!? Why!?"
"Because you've spent years improving on your other elements that this one doesn't have room to breath yet"

She then just realized that small fact.

"So what's your plan?"
"I'm going to have you do small exercises to help develop it and soon after use it to it's full potential"

She gave a face with determination and nodded in agreement.

Inside Compound

Jinora had asked Konohamaru to play pi sho with her, he hesitantly accepted due to his high lose count to his uncle and grandfather.

"Hmmm...." Konohamaru thought trying to play out his next move

Jinora sat there patiently waiting for him, he then flashed a cheeky smile and played his next move. She then made her move which won her the game, making Konohamaru go into a face of shock.

"Again..." He said dropping his head in loss
"Want to play again?" She asked
"Yeah, four times the charm!" Konohamaru proclaimed

They then reset the board, Konohamaru eager to win and Jinora just glad she got him to out of his sour mood.

Training Grounds 3 Hours Later

Korra lay flat on the breathing heavily, her face dripping with sweat, muscles aching.

"Well you did well for your first time"
"Yeah, but I still can't....do it right" she said between her breaths
"Well then you better pick up the pace" he said walking away

Korra just watched the stars that slowly began to come out, wondering what would happen after all of this ended. Would her new found friends leave to head back home, or would they stay to help her on her never ending struggle?
