"Although I don't like that language it is a very apt description of my father," Asuno replies to Irano's brief description of the events.
"Wait, hold on I just realized, you are a princess, and that makes me a prince. Huh, I knew I had princely features." He says while posing.
Well back to the point, in my homeland one could only bend one element. Usually the element of their home country. But out of every nation, there is only one person able to use every element, they are referred to as The Avatar, master of all four elements.
The last avatar was from the Air Nomads which is why my great-grandfather killed all of them, to prevent the avatar from interfering in his conquest. But he didn't kill the avatar, otherwise they would have been reincarnated into the water tribe next continuing the cycle. But that never happened not for 86 years last I heard from my brother.
So you thought I was this avatar since I'm a bender and I should only be able to use fire bending but I can use all of them?" Irano asks.
"Yes," Asuno answers
"But that can't be possible because of multiple reasons." Irano says
"Essentially." Asuno replies quickly
"This whole time you were afraid of me being able to use all four elements because, on the impossible chance your father finds out, he would do everything possible to bring me to his side or put me down too?" Irano asks again
His mother nods vigorously.
"Hmm, that's why you have been looking so distraught." I understand now but you don't have to worry about me... I will be the strongest! And I will kick his butt for hurting your feelings!" He says while flexing his child arms. Irano says trying to comfort his mother using his childish charm.
"Oohhh my hero, what will I do without you," Asuno says affectionately while hugging Irano.
After hugging his mother back he looks between both her and his father he then asks. "So if I'm not the avatar then why can I use all of the elements?"
This time Nawaki answers that question. "It's like I said earlier it seems your chakra and bending are working together and since chakra allows a Shinobi to manipulate all the elements and your bending appears to be using the chakra in your system to empower itself but also making it harder to use Shinobi arts. Not impossible just harder otherwise you wouldn't have been able to use that chakra paper."
"So what I'm getting at is, it appears Konoha has a new kekkei genkai. Though until you have children of your own we won't know."

It's been 5 years since that talk with my parents about my abilities and my mother's past.
In the first year, my mother told me I had learned everything she could teach me.
As she hadn't had as much talent in it as her brothers this was the most she could do for me.
In the second year, I started learning taijutsu to help with my bending, seeing as I can't remember those bending styles for shit. After looking through some scrolls in our library I found a couple of fighting styles to my liking, while I was busy reading my father stumbled upon me, and seeing what I was reading he asked me if I was interested in taijutsu. After telling him I need fighting styles to help focus my bending he said he knows someone who can help me.
From then on I've been learning from this super energetic guy with bushy eyebrows and a bowl cut. Throughout that whole year I learned a bunch of new martial arts, it turns out I am pretty good at them. they were similar to Boxing, Kickboxing, Muy Thai, wing chun, and even his own style, which he calls strong fist. I also learned Aikido and studied the human body in hopes of recreating the chi-blocking fighting style, because the hyuga chakra-blocking techniques are unavailable to me. Hoping to make a defensive and offensive fighting style to bring out the best in all of my bending styles but there is still more to learn.
Towards the middle of the third year, something else happened, a woman came to our home. As I was leaving to do more training I noticed my mother and this woman were speaking in another room in a language I didn't understand. Seeing that the door was slightly open I took a peak, seeing a woman with the features of a fire nation citizen, but my mother saw me almost instantly, she then closed the door so I couldn't listen in anymore.
In the fourth year, I finally added chakra control training to my schedule as our class was starting to pick up with the ninjutsu training.
Sitting with his father in the backyard Irano can be seen holding a leaf to his forehead with one finger. "Okay, let's try this again, remove your finger," Nawaki tells him.
Removing his finger the leaf immediately falls. "URGH! Why isn't this working?!" Irano yells in frustration. "You need to concentrate, Try again," Nawaki responds.
Holding the leaf to his forehead again Nawaki tells him "Maybe we have been going about this wrong, Close your eyes, Focus, Feel the chakra moving inside of you. Use it like you would with your bending." Closing his eyes and slowing his breathing Irano focuses on the energy moving within him. Like water, it moves with his breath.
Before his father can continue with his instructions he removes his finger from the leaf, and this time it sticks. "Good now focus all your chakra on the leaf, when I get home later I will teach you a better chakra control technique." Nawaki then bursts into smoke."
After a few hours of sitting there with a leaf on his forehead, he got bored and stopped. Looking at his hands he tries to do the jutsu his father taught him all those years ago. And like before it didn't work, but this time he noticed why. When the chakra leaves his body it disperses quickly like mist before it can change its nature. But when it's still in his body he has the most control.
'I need to work on collecting it outside of my body, maybe more advanced chakra control techniques will help I guess I have to wait till Dad gets home.'
In the fifth year lrano has essentially mastered his earth and water bending. But without a master bender to confirm he won't know for sure. He knows that's genin don't stand a chance against him and he could take on low level chunin.
Throughout the year with his more advanced chakra control training he had come to the conclusion that it is impossible for him to form chakra outside his body without it being imbued into his bending. This wouldn't be much of a problem if two of the requirements for graduation didn't require chakra forming outside his body. The transformation justsu was no problem as the chakra never has to leave his body.
But he had an idea on how to make these two work. Instead of a regular clone he will try an elemental clone. Bringing up a piece of earth in the shape of himself he places his hand on it pushing more chakra into it.
As he is pushing chakra into it, small pieces of the stone figure starts falling of becoming a more precise image of Irano until he finally let go of the clone. It then opened its eyes gazing at him with a stoney look.
'That worked but it was to slow, I need to work on the other elements and on making them faster. Since it worked this should be a good replacement for those weak regular clones.'
'Now for the substitution or the replacement jutsu I have something that would be super cool if it works.'
Making his way to the nearest river, Irano bends the water to a point where it is so thin one would hardly notice it. He then layers this water on his skin, while doing this he simultaneously forms the water in the river into a whip. Swinging the whip at himself he jumps back, leaving the water where he was previously while freezing said water at the same time.
(A/N: Like how Sub zero does)
"That worked a lot better than I thought it would." 'I just need to check with iruka sensei and dad to see if I can graduate with just these. Seeing as the normal way wouldn't work for me.'
