A/N So this is my first story, a Naruto Fairy Tail crossover. I promise the Fairy Tail will come eventually. This is rated T mostly for violence Im not much for writing Lemons or anything of the sort. This is a darker version of both worlds, there will still be comedy in the Fairy Tail aspect but I expect Naruto and Sasuke will probably darken it up a bit despite a few funny quirks they may or may not have. The first 2 or so chapters will mostly be back story and we'll see how it goes. No harems so please don't ask. Ever. My bio has all of my favorite pairings if you're interested to know. I also want to stress, THE CHARACTERS ARE 10 YEARS OLD at the start and there will be occasional time skips every so often till I get to Fairy Tail canon. Naruto and Sasuke will be the same age as Mira and Erza or a year older making them a bit older then Natsu and company. I'm a slow writer, so expect slow updates I'm sorry but it's how I operate but hopefully my chapters get longer and longer. Also I don't plan on starting anything else until I'm at a comfortable pace with this. Comment and Favorite if you want to and Please Enjoy!

Blue Skies Over the Battle Field.

Naruto hated funerals. They were a distraction from the issues the village faced on the front lines. He felt his stomach clench as he laid his white rose down on the coffin.

'Hinata…'

She was gone and there was nothing anyone could do for her or her family. Hinata had been assigned to his protection detail on the front and he had decided he liked her. She was kind, too kind if he was going to be honest with himself. But she was a Hyuuga, and had responsibilities as a Kunoichi of Konoha. Naruto felt something wet fall down his cheek and looked up,

'There's no rain. Damnit, I know I'm better than this.'

"Naruto, get a hold of yourself. The Hokage will notice soon, and nothing good will come of that."

Naruto looked over at the only person he could really call 'Friend'.

"Shut up, Sasuke. You don't need to be a bastard 24/7, that's my job."

Sasuke saw Naruto's glare and knew he was only trying to help. Naruto had never been approachable but Sasuke had been made his handler back when they were both 6 years old. Sasuke had been a happier child, growing up in the safety of his powerful and noble clan. Then the unthinkable had happened and his happiness had become short-lived; Sasuke had lost his entire family in the blink of an eye. A dark mage from a land far away had destroyed the entire clan but him. Sasuke had been left behind to remember and tell the story. The attack was so devastating that the remains of Sasuke's beloved older brother, one of the strongest shinobi in the village, were never even found.

Naruto sighed and wiped the emotion from his face, the Hokage was coming their way. Standing at attention, their leader addressed them.

"Agents Uzumaki and Uchiha. I expect everything in the mission report went as written?" The code was not lost on the young boys, Lord Danzo wanted to know of the their mission to the Land of Water and not what was on record.

"Of course Lord Hokage, however, we did have to remove a small and peculiar turtle from our path on our journey home."

Danzo smiled, "Excellent, with the Land of Water under control it is time to take your team to the front for one final push."

"Yes sir, Lord Hokage!" Both boys saluted, turned and vanished to their home.

Naruto and Sasuke lived together because they had to, in a different world they would have never had to interact with each other until their Academy days but Danzo was the Hokage now, not the Old Man.

"Hey, I'll start dinner, you go sit. No more moving around for the day, if I had my way you'd have a week of R&R at the least before going back to the front."

Naruto smiled and chuckled, Sasuke could be over protective and caring at home but the moment someone else was in hearing or visual distance that cool exterior would rise up and he'd become a tool again. Not that Naruto blamed him, most of their generation hadn't accepted the fact that the days of Hiruzen Sarutobi and his kind ways were over and that the war was in full swing.

This afternoon had been a reminder of that. It was almost over though. Naruto grimaced as heat spread through his core and lifted his shirt to see the seal on his stomach. It was red and pulsating but that was what happened each time he took over another of the bunch. Only 9 beasts of this kind on the planet and Naruto only needed 1 more to make the complete set.

The 7 tailed Rhinoceros Beetle. It resided in a girl his age in The Hidden Waterfall Village. As Naruto relaxed on his couch and Sasuke cooked some tomato and fish stew, the 5 Great Nations and all their ninja converged on the Hidden Waterfall in the hopes of securing the 7 tailed Jinchuuriki for their he'd be doing the very same thing. Wrong? Yes. Would it haunt him? Most likely. But he'd do it for his country and peace, just like Danzo said,

"If we collect the beasts we'll effectively end all war between all the nations. There will finally be a lasting peace and feeling of security in the Shinobi world, and the world will owe that peace to you and your team Uzumaki."

Naruto sighed with slight relief as his dinner was placed in front of him. "You know I'm not a huge fan of tomato." He chuckled as he said it knowing it would get on Sasuke's nerves.

"We had ramen in the field yesterday, and I wanted tomatoes. You'll eat it and like it." Naruto chuckled again at his friend's hidden warning and ate thinking of a more promising future.

Naruto growled at the enemy in front of him, clearly a seasoned Jonin but still not much of a challenge. The kunai wielding shinobi if the Hidden Rock had come from out of no where but his superior speed and reflexes kept him alive against inferior opponents despite being less experienced and significantly younger. A simple burst of speed and flash of his knife and he quickly copied the fashion statement Sasuke was making. Black uniform coated with a thick spray pattern of blood.

"Catch up loser!" Sasuke had already taken out four of the ambushing Rock Jonin but it wouldn't be long until the rest of the team had killed more men and women than they could count. As Naruto slashed into his next victim he pondered his team and what they meant to him. The brutal viciousness of war had almost become a tedious routine for him.

Shikamaru of the Nara clan, he used shadow manipulation to stop his opponents in their tracks so they could be mowed down. His superior intellect also made him an invaluable asset to the team and most likely next in line to be his father's successor as lead strategist for the Hokage. It didn't matter who the enemy was; Shikamaru had more back up plans than the opposing army had shinobi.

Rock Lee was the best taijutsu user Naruto had ever seen. Even at 11 years old he had almost surpassed his sensei Might Guy in physical prowess and fighting technique. The kids hands were lethal; in the Bingo book his bounty was the third highest of their whole 8 man team. He was also listed as A-rank hyper-lethal at close combat fighting, Naruto himself considered his own technique inferior and would probably get his ass handed to him by Lee if it weren't for his own superior speed. Lee could also open all of the 8 inner gates to increase power despite have only ever needing to open the sixth gate.

Neji Hyuuga was the most recent of their team assigned as Hinata's replacement fro his Byakugan eyes. There was no doubt he was stronger than Hinata in more ways than one but Sasuke had picked Hinata for the team initially thinking she'd be better for Naruto's mental health as she was kinder and had admired Naruto since the days of the Sandaime. Neji was a genius with his family's delicate combination of ethernano use and taijutsu called the Gentle Fist. He was cold though; they learned that very quickly during his orientation to the squad. He had an unshakeable belief in destiny and it irked Sasuke to no end that he saw himself so much higher than others on the team despite being one of the weaker members. Naruto didn't mind Neji's cold attitude, it reminded him of him a little bit, but he figure his ego would have him dead within the week. That was what he liked about Hinata; she never underestimated anyone and was always willing to ask for help. Most of the team was like that, which is probably why they only had one casualty in the three years of active duty they have on record.

A crushed body flew past Naruto into a tree, and then the next tree, and the next… 'Sakura'

The girl used her magical energy, chakra or ethernano really no difference just different names for the same thing, to enhance her physical strength. It put her in the top three known medical ninja within the elemental nations despite being only 10 years old. Not an easy feat but Naruto always likes to remind her that there are no decent medical shinobi or kunoichi outside of the Leaf Village and she trained under Tsunade of the Sannin the past 4 years. Tsunade is the greatest medical kunoichi to walk the elemental nations; she can heal most any wound and can crush boulders with her pinky. All things she taught to Sakura, which is why Danzo assigned her to the unit much to Naruto's amusement and Sasuke's annoyance. She constantly was bothering Sasuke for attention in Naruto assumed was a 'crush'.

Unfortunately Naruto knew how his friend felt in their other female team member, Ino Yamanaka. She constantly tried to tease Naruto into embarrassment, emphasis on tried. Naruto didn't even pick up on it until Sasuke mentioned Ino's crush being similar to Sakura's and face vaulted when Naruto asked what he meant by crush. In the end Sasuke blamed himself because he was the only one around Naruto enough the past four years to teach Naruto about social norms and they had been a bit preoccupied slaughtering the enemies of the Leaf to worry about girls and their, in Sasuke and Naruto's opinion, silly feelings. In spite of that her abilities in manipulating the mind through her clan's special techniques are an incredible asset, especially when combined with Shikamaru's shadow manipulation. Naruto even worried occasionally about being on the receiving end of her 'Mind Destruction Jutsu', which basically turned the mind into mush.

Naruto flipped backwards, his feet landing on an enemy kunoichi's chest and he pushed off kicking her into a swarm of kikaichu bugs and launching forward into another kunoichi impaling her with his kunai and effectively attaching her to the tree. He quickly bent the piece of handle still visible so she couldn't move and looked back at the girl he kicked. She was being swarmed by Shino's swarm of kikaichu being drained of her power faster than she could escape them. Shino was the other member of the squad, not a big talker but his technique with his bugs was brutal and deadly.

Finally on the team was Sasuke and Naruto, both considered S- rank in the Bingo Book for good reason. Sasuke had mastered a fully mature sharingan and could trick veteran Jonin into thinking they were petite ballerinas. His other elemental control with fire and lightning was devastating and brutal as well as his ability with weapons like shuriken, kunai and his sword. His sharingan was the last in existence and there for he had a pretty big target on his neck. He was kind, used to be more so before a criminal from a far off country had massacred his family some kind of gravity manipulation ability. Sasuke didn't really talk to anyone but Naruto unless he had to. He gave the orders as squad leader and reported to the Hokage and elite Jonin but only because he had to.

Naruto was a different animal. The first thing Danzo did as Hokage was give him the scrolls of his father, the Yondaime Hokage, and inform him of his importance as Jinchuuriki. Due to his natural affinity for Take Over magic he had total control of the now eight beasts within him and he used and abused his fathers two most famous techniques. 'Rasengan' and 'Hiraishin'. Naruto had complete control of seven and soon to be eight of the beasts. The ninth and strongest however; he could only use what he liked to call the first tail of his version one cloak. Using that monster's abilities was a dangerous game, one he was only willing to play when the people he cared for were in serious danger. There were very few people who met Naruto's criteria for 'precious person'.

Naruto finally stopped thinking long enough to realize his hand was thrust through the chest of the last enemy shinobi remaining. "Shame they weren't much of a warm up."

Sasuke sighed in response, "You shouldn't think so carelessly of the lives you take Naruto."

"Yeah, yeah just see if any of them were carrying anything important will you?" Naruto asked with an annoyed tone.

He looked through the men and women's packs and didn't find much; a couple packs of cigarettes, some pictures of children and significant others, shuriken and kunai, other regular ninja tools, and one copy of Make-Out Paradise. Naruto got a real kick out of seeing that book in a dead Rock shinobi's pocket considering it was written by a Leaf shinobi who had been killing their comrades since before this poor guy was probably a Genin. Sasuke stood up across the clearing they were in.

"Lets head out. We're still and hour or two from the front lines and we're needed to end this war. Naruto, you know what you need to do." Naruto nodded, his job was important. Find the Jinchuuriki, Fu, he thinks her name is and destroy her so he can take over the seven-tailed Rhinoceros Beetle for himself, his village and for peace. Suddenly the small squad heard a cough behind them and all but Naruto turned to look. The young girl, maybe 18 or 19 years old, that Naruto had pinned to the tree mid fight was coughing up blood and looking at them all with terror in her eyes.

"Just.." she paused to hack up more blood, "Wh-what kind of monsters are you?"

She hacked up more blood as she finished her sentence and tried her best to hold in the sobs that shook her whole body. Every movement and breath hurt her body but her eyes widened and the world froze for a second as Naruto slowly turned his head toward her and she saw a blood red slit eye staring back at her. Naruto's golden bangs hanging down his cheeks and over his headband in a similar fashion to his father nothing moved but the wind.

As her hair blew around her face Naruto suddenly vanished and she felt cold steel on her neck. Naruto had teleported right next to the tree on her left and she felt a cold sting run through her body.

She couldn't move but she knew his red eyes would be the last thing she would look at and really see. Those haunting, almost dead, eyes that radiated murder and death. She let loose a shaky breath and spoke, "How? H-How is it possible? You should be dead? O-or at least older!" She let loose a coughing fit and more tears slid down her cheeks. Ino, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Neji all turned nodded at the other half of their group and left, not wanting to watch the rest.

"I use the abilities left behind by my father to be a monster. To live without a heart in order to protect the hearts and memories of those I love and that are most precious to me." Naruto looked at Shikamaru and Sasuke with his red eyes, two people he'd been with as long as he could remember.

"Your name, your sacrifice, and your legacy will all perish with you and your village today. You will not be remembered, and you will not have a headstone. But I will remember, and I will always respect you as the warrior you were."

The teenage girl let out one last sob and gasped as if she wanted to yell out and beg for her life but couldn't before the tri-pronged blade slid into her throat and all that came out was a gurgling sound before there was silence. Shikamaru turned and left the scene. Sasuke made use of a quick fire technique to destroy the evidence of death that plagued the clearing in the border between the Land of Fire and Land of Waterfalls. Naruto looked at the blue sky dotted with clouds above him and felt a gentle breeze ruffle his hair and bangs.

"It certainly is a beautiful day." And with that the two brothers in all but blood disappeared into the forest and towards the sound of clashing iron, chaos, and death.
