Rogue (Avatar/Naruto Crossover)

4: Ponytail on a Rhino

Edited: 6/30/19

꧁꧂

In the dark

And I'm right on

The middle mark

I'm just in the tier

Of everything that rides

Below the surface

And I watch from a

Distance seventeen

And I'm short of

The others dreams

Of being golden

And on top

"Find him," the boy states. I can tell its a boy and not a man by the youthful voice. Strange for a boy to be in charge of a group of Fire Nation soldiers. Weren't they super militaristic?

His men signal their rhinos forward in search of the avatar. As they slowly make their way down the deserted village, my hand inches its way towards my belt and kunai pouch in case they spot me. Hearing a metal shing and near silent foot patter below me, I relax slightly. Perhaps, I can afford to observe a little longer?

I angle myself to see Kyoshi warriors pounce on the henchmen, knocking them off their mounts. I see Suki in the group, signaling silent orders to take out the soldiers. Their fans are an extension of their arms, moving swiftly and precisely.

Suki breaks away from the group, aiming to tackle the leader head on. Dodging fire punches, she quickly and rashly might I add jumps to aim a forward swipe at him. I thought about jumping in to save her from a potentially lethal counterattack, but am surprised by the boy's decision to swipe at her with the rhino's tail.

He seemed almost reluctant to deal any lasting damage. If it was me against a group of unknown soldiers, I wouldn't have thought twice about using my fire to defend myself. Even if it could have killed someone.

He aims another fire punch at Suki only to have it deflected by Sokka with his fans. Still sporting the Kyoshi garb. The boy is knocked off from his mount, which flees from the skirmish. His helmet falls off, revealing that his head is shaved aside for his ponytail. I suppress a snort of laughter.

Seeing himself cornered, ponytail boy windmill kicks sending a flurry of fire. Stunning all of the Kyoshi warriors around him and flinging Suki into a nearby wooden post, he continues with a backsweep of fire which knocks Sokka down too. The boy jumps back into the open streets of the village, ready to attack.

With a defiant attitude, he declares to the village, "nice try Avatar, but these little girls can't save you." He knows that the avatar is in the village, no doubt planning his next move. That's what I would be doing anyhow.

"Hey! Over here." Hmm. Maybe he's not much of a planner? Or he already has a plan.

"Finally," the teenage boy states, smirking before releasing an onslaught of attacks at the air nomad.

My hand hovered back over my kunai pouch, ready to jump in the skirmish below. I didn't want to have to pick a side, but it can't be helped.

The avatar no older than twelve seemed to be holding his own in the duel against the scarred teen. A decent feat considering his age. I imagined him to be a little bit older. Imagine my shock when I see that it is a twelve year old boy.
