Another Journey
Chapter 1: The Start
A figure can be looked sitting cross legged on top of a dead huge monster. He had wild blonde hair, blue eyes, tanned skin and three whisker marks on each cheek, he wore a red long overcoat with word 'SAGE' printed in it. His Name is Uzumaki Naruto the Sage from Myobokuzan, Jinchuuriki of Kyuubi no Kitsune and an Ex-Shinobi from Konohagakure.
Taking a deep breath and sighed the blond talking to Himself "so this is how an S Rank mission likes." Sigh "even though it's pretty weak compared to the Bijuu's, but I still have little problems with this 'Thing'." He looked down to the monster and another sigh escaped from his mouth 'It looks like I'm getting softer this past 3 years' he thought
He sighed again 'It's Been a Year since I left Konoha, I wonder how they're doing back there?' The Blond thought
(FLASHBACK)
Naruto was panting heavily as he continued his training, sweat glistening dripping from his forehead onto his body. Before falling onto the ground, still wearing his trademark orange jumpsuit, his shirtless body is full with bruises and cuts from his training. The necklace that Tsunade had given him still hung loosely from his neck, his black and orange jacket and black t-shirt was folded near a tree so he would not tear them again from his training, "Oy! Let's take a break," the blonde says, the clone just nodded and gone in a poof of smoke.
He head toward where his clothes were to wear them "It's been years since the war is over 'Sigh' everything began to change since that day. Even my own life,"
The fourth great shinobi wars was over 2 years ago, facing two strong Uchiha almost made him lose everything, but a miracle happen and he won, defeating Tobi or Obito Uchiha and the master mind Madara Uchiha. After the war he became the hero of the element nation and gained respect from all shinobi around the elemental nations even from the Kage's. A year after that he had found Uchiha Sasuke a great battle had ensued. The battle took place where the story began for the two of them 'Valley of the end', the two of them gave everything they got to this battle, he almost died during the battle from one of the Uchiha jutsu, but in the end, he defeated the Uchiha, and dragged him back to Konoha. Of course without killing him, but with severe injuries all over their body.
"Hmm I wonder what I should do today?" he said
'Maybe go to hokage tower and annoy baa-chan a little will be good he he he he' he let out a mischievous smile and jumps toward the tower.
(Hokage's office)
It was a day just like any other for the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju. She was currently doing paperwork, the bane of her existence, and at the same time indulging her with a bottle of sake. After the war things slowed down in the ninja world.
The villages have formed permanent alliances with each other so the threat of another war was non- existent. Another good thing about this whole peace thing was less paperwork, considerably less.
It's been a good years for the Fifth. She was unaware of a figure climbing her tower. She was in for a nasty surprise.
(Couple of minutes before)
Naruto was walking towards the Hokage tower. The people who recognize him bowed their heads in respect and gave him a happy smile. After the war he has become the hero of the elemental nation, gaining all the respect from his people, civilian and fellow shinobi of all rank even the kages.
Naruto responded with a small smile and with a slight bow of his head. You could see groups of girl talking to each other and occasionally taking a glance towards Naruto and giggling when he came close to them and said 'Hi' some of the girls would become red, before fainting, he just sweat dropped at this .
Naruto just gave them a small smile and continued his trek towards the tower. He was taking his time, enjoying in the scenery, taking in the sights of Konoha. Minutes later he could see the tower in his sight. A wave of nostalgia hit him. All the memories he experienced in that tower came rushing back. The time he spends with Jiji, Grandma, Shizune, and Ero-sennin. Those were some of the best moments of his life.
'I wonder what Bachan is doing. Probably drinking or sleeping, lazy old hag' smiled Naruto. An idea formed in his head and a grin spread across his face. 'Why use the front door when I can see use a play from Ero-sennin's book' schemed, a grinning Naruto.
He used his Camouflage jutsu taught by Ero-sennin and started climbing the tower. He reached the window and saw Tsunade actually working.
'Now this is a pleasant surprise. Grandma is actually working' thought a surprised Naruto. She narrowed his gaze and saw a bottle of sake on the desk. ' No wonder she's working, she's probably drunk and isn't aware of what she's doing' thought Naruto.' Time to give her a heart attack and get my ass kicked' He took a deep breath.
"BACHAN" yelled Naruto. The effect was instantaneous. Tsunade spat all of her sake across the room, knocked over her table with all of her paperwork now messed up, lying on the floor. Her personal ANBU responded quickly and appeared in the room and were surprised with the scene. They could barely contain their laughter, you could hear a couple of snickers coming from their mouth. But they quickly stopped when they saw an angry Tsunade. The leader made the best choice of his career and ordered his squad to return to their hiding spots.
'It took me all morning to file the papers. I'm going to kill the man who did this.' Raged Tsunade in her mind.
Naruto was laughing on the windowsill. He was laughing and there were a few tears in his eyes. Too bad he didn't have a camera with him. That would make a perfect picture.
Tsunade recovered and saw a laughing blonde with whiskers sitting on her window.' That damn brat. Scaring me and then laughing at me. I'll show him' she smirked, thinking how she will get even with him. She walked towards him and picked him up his collar and grinned evilly.
Naruto stopped laughing and opened his eyes to come face to face with the murderous gaze of Tsunade.'Crap, here comes the pain.' He prepared himself for the pain that was coming.
Tsunade gathered all of her strength and flung him across the room where he impacted with the door and the wall behind it. The entire tower shook because of the impact. Naruto was desperately trying to remain conscious, but it was proving to be quite a difficult task. He eventually managed to recover from the super punch he just received. 'Damn, she still packs quite a punch' thought Naruto who was holding his head trying to clear his dizziness.
Tsunade was tapping her foot in irritation and waited for Naruto to pick himself up." GAKI!" yelled an angry Tsunade." I swear you are even worse than that old pervert."
Naruto just smiled in response and scratched his head and walked towards her." Hey, somebody has got to keep you in shape otherwise your old ass will get rusty and dusty." Said a grinning Naruto.
Tsunade moved towards him till they were only a couple of inches away from each other. She was glaring at him for a couple and then drags him back inside her office.
"So what're you doing here?" "Aw m I need a reason to visit my favorite Baa-Chan? "Responded Naruto with a pout. A tick mark appeared in her head she gave him a murder glare, even after all this year she still can't accept that nickname. Naruto just gave her sheepish laugh to her. They stayed like that for a couple of minute until Shizune came in through the hole where the door once was. She saw the mess in the room and sighed deeply. 'I'm too old for this' thought a tired Shizune. She saw Tsunade Glaring to Naruto and sigh…
." Ahh, Hello Shizune-neechan." Said Naruto. "Hello Naruto how've you been doing? It's been two week when I last saw you here." Shizune said "Ah you know the usual go training and ichiraku"
Shizune went to stand next to Tsunade who was smiling at their interaction. And Naruto Just made himself comfortable in his chair.
They spend the next hour just chatting away, asking questions, and basically catching up the lost time.
Naruto finished being interrogated by Tsunade and Shizune and said his goodbyes to the two saying that he is tired and wants to go to sleep. They nodded in understanding. They knew he must have been exhausted after all that training and questioning, not to mention from that super punch from Tsunade.
Naruto used the rooftops to get to his apartment faster and to avoid any interruptions, "Naruto!" hearing a voice calling for his name he stopped, and looking around who it is. It was Haruno Sakura.
"Ah Haruno-san what is it?" He said with a smile in his face. It's been 2 years since he stopped calling her 'Sakura-Chan', 2 long years after that incident. after the great war they started dating but it have to end when he saw her betrayed him for Uchiha Sasuke, Since that day he never called her that again except when Sasuke was around, but instead of 'Chan' he always use 'san' after that day he always avoiding them as best as he can, because whenever he saw them it hurts so much in his heart…
But after months of avoiding them he slowly started opening his heart again for them… it was Hinata that opened his heart, but after 9 month of relationship with her, it have to end because Hinata was engaged to Kiba and they were going to marry soon, the worst part was that she's didn't even try to refuse it to her father because of the Hyuga Clan Law…
When she heard what he calls her, her heart started to hurt like it was stabbed, it made them feel like strangers. It's like they were never friends.
"Naruto I'm sorry,"
He closed his eyes for a moment, still smiling, then he opened his cerulean blue eyes and locked them onto her emerald eyes and he asked.
"Hmm What for?"
Taking in a deep breath,
"I- I'm sorry Naruto for everything, for all the pain I've given you. For hitting you, belittling you, and humiliating you over the years." Taking a deep breath "And for betraying you." She said with tears in her eyes.
"Its okay Haruno-san." still refuses to call her by her name"it's not your fault I should've know better back then than to believe that words from you." He takes a deep breath and sigh "I was too stupid back then to accept the truth"
"Naruto I- I…" she wants to say something but he cut it "I'm sorry Haruno-san but I'm tired right now so I'll be heading home" with that said he continues his track to his home…
Sakura fought desperately to hold back the tears that were trying to well in her eyes and left.
(With Naruto)
After meeting Sakura, Naruto continued his track to his home; He was there in a couple of minutes. He opened the door and enters the house. What he needed right now was a long, hot shower. With his mind made up, he strolled towards his bathroom. He turned on the shower and waited for the right temperature so that it wasn't too cold or too hot. Satisfied, he took of his clothes and stepped in the shower. He could feel his body relaxing, all the tension and stress just washed away.
'I need this.' Thought Naruto.
After the bath Naruto made his way to his bed and started starring at the ceiling. It's been a long day for him and the meeting with Sakura brought him bad memories he wanted to forget…
"Ne, Kurama" He started closing his eyes. When he opened them, he was at a clearing outside of a forest in his mindscape
"Hmm… What?" Kurama the Kyuubi said opening his red eyes. After the war Naruto and Kurama were starting forming a bond… from time to time Naruto would always talk to his lifetime companion for his opinion of just simple chatting…
"I'm getting tired of this" He said,
"Tired of what?" Kurama Said raising an eyebrow
"Tired of all this, this feeling, I'm tired being lied by the word "love"; I don't even understand what Love is anymore. It's like whatever 'Kami' up there is like, wants to see me heartbroken."
"Yeah maybe He or She likes to see your face when you're heartbroken" Kurama started laughing
"That's not funny!" The Blond yelled
Kurama just laugh in fact his laugh getting harder after hearing his host snap.
The blond just gave him a death glare for a moment and then he started laughing…
"That's better kit, you know that being an EMO doesn't suit you at all"
"I know. Beside I don't want to be the third pedo" he shivered when he thinks about it…
"Hahaha yeah the first and the second were bad enough."
They just laugh for a couple of minute before the blond talking
"Ne Kurama? Let's leave the village"
"Hmm.. Do you want to become a missing Nin?"
"No, not like that. Let's go on a journey, yeah a journey I want to see the world. The war might be over, but the world is still far from peace, beside I made a promise to Ero-Sennin and Nagato that I will bring peace to this world but I can't do that if I just stay in one place."
"That might be a good idea. But what about your dream of becoming Hokage?"
"You should know that the reason I wanted to become a Hokage was to gain respect from the villagers, but I have it now so there's no need to become one."
"Are you going to tell your friend about this?"
"No there is no need to tell them, I don't want to make them worry about me anymore… beside I don't know if I'm going to come back here or not."
"Gaki! You are just being selfish here, they have the right to know about it"
"Yeah I know it, but being a little selfish is alright I guess"
Kurama just sighed and said "So when are we going to go?"
"I'll go talk to Baa-chan tomorrow, and we will leave after everyone will go to sleep."
After a long talk with Kurama, he said goodnight to him and went to sleep.
(EVENING)
"Are you sure about this?" The Godaime asked to the blond
"Yeah I'm sure" he responded
"So how long will this journey of yours be? When will you come back home?"
"It could be months, years or longer I don't know."
"What about your dream?" she asked
"The main reason I wanted to become a Hokage was to gain respect from the villagers. I already did that so I don't need to become a Hokage."
Tsunade just close her eyes, took a deep breath and sighed. She started walking towards him wanting to hug him, tears starting to well in her eyes.
"It looks like I can't make you stay this time can I?"
At first Naruto was startled, but in the end he hugged her back.
"Baa-chan don't tell anybody that I left. "
"And why is that?" She asked
"I don't want to make them worry for me again. The only ones who will know I left the village is just you Shizune-neechan and Kakashi-sensei"
"Okay Naruto…"
(MIDNIGHT)
Late into the night when no one was awake. So, there wasn't a soul present to see one blonde young man with a pack strapped to his back walking calmly towards the gates of the village.
Or so he thought.
In a swirl of leaves, Sasuke appeared before him, clad in Jounin attire with arms crossed over his chest. His black obsidian orbs fell on the backpack Naruto had shouldered, and he frowned, as he put two and two together.
Naruto was leaving.
Naruto's cerulean blue eyes met his and he sighed. He took a step forward, but Sasuke was in front of him in an instant barring his path, as he asked.
"Dobe, where are you going?"
"Ehh.. Hey Teme"
"You didn't answer my question." He said taping his feet
Naruto sighed again 'it's going to be a long night'.
So in a flash of yellow, he was behind Sasuke,
"Sasuke, please protect them while I'm not around." Sasuke then felt everything go dark from a quick chop to his neck.
As his friend collapsed to the ground, Naruto took him to a nearby bench and turned around to continue his journey and in one monumental leap, soared over the village gates and into the night.
Naruto Uzumaki had left Konoha.
'That Memory Again' taking a deep breathes and releases it he said "Well there's no use to dwell about it right now, it's time to get the reward and going back to the guild." With that he got up and took the monster's head with him to the town that hired him 'I wonder if they found something about their missing teammates, they said it's been seven years since their teammates and the Guild Master had been missing.' 'Oh that's right I almost forgot about it, the grand magic tournament will begin soon I have to hurry now.'
(Fairy Tail 3 months earlier)
"Romeo, was it really a good idea for you not going along?" Macao asked his somber-faced son.
"Even if Tenrou Island was found there's no telling whether everyone is alive, right?" Romeo gripped the cover of his book tighter. "So what does it matter if I go?" He refused to even so much as look at his father. "There's no way they could still be alive."
"Nonsense!" We have to believe!"
"There's been no word in over seven years."
"Oii! Oiiiiiiiiiii!"
Macao's reverie was interrupted by the sound of splintering wood. The doors burst inward, pushed backwards by a powerful kick. Everyone rounded on the sound as a familiar group of mages stormed through the doors. They weren't from Fairy Tail; much to Macao's dismay. They were from Twilight Ogre.
"There are a lot fewer people here today." Teebo sneered. "Rather than a guild, what is this? Some kind of friendship club?" He stole a furtive glance around the guild.
Macao's heart froze with dread.
"Teebo!" Wakaba frowned, "Payment's due next month, isn't it? Why are you here?"
"Our master, well you see, he said that simply won't do." Teebo offered a nonchalant shrug, clearly enjoying himself. "It's a problem if payments are not made on schedule. If master's said it, it can't be helped,"
"We don't have any money to pay to you guys." Romeo slammed his book shut and stood up from the table. "Why don't you just go away?"
"Stop it, Romeo!" Macao hissed.
"What's with that shitty attitude, you brat?" Teebo snarled.
"To have been tamed by punks like these, you're all cowards!" Romeo summoned a fireball to the center of his palm. "I'm going to fight! If things keep up like this Fairy Tail's name will be worthless!"
Teebo blew out a breath and the flame guttered out harmlessly. As Romeo looked on in horror, the man unshouldered his club.
"That name became worthless a long time ago, no?" He grinned, bringing it to bear on the boy.
"Stop!"
"You guys will never be above us as long as you live!"
"Is that so?"
"Ah"
All of sudden Teebo found himself flying from a kick by someone
"Teebo-san!"
Before his comrades could respond they each met a similar fate. One was frozen solid. Another was thumped by an iron rod. Still another found him missing all his teeth as a hilt shattered his face. One by one they toppled to the floor, broken battered and beaten. Macao gawped at the sudden destruction. Standing behind the fallen mages, an even larger group of wizards stood. Macao recognized them, but even so he failed to understand his eyes; because they were telling him lies!Lies! These guys couldn't, they couldn't possibly be
"We're home" A pink-haired said with a grin on his eyes it was Natsu Dragneel.
"EVERYONE!" Happy
"HMPH" Gajeel
"We're back" Erza
"Alcohol, Alcohol!" Cana
"What's up with this tiny guild?" Makarov
"We've Come back Home." Wendy
"Wahh isn't it wonderful?" Lucy
"Yo" Gray
"You… You.. You Guys" Macao felt the tears coming even as he looked on; even as the members of his guild resumed their antics.
"So young they haven't changed at all since 7 years ago"
"You're all Grown up, Romeo" Natsu Said to the young boy
"Natsu-nii, everyone, welcome home!" Romeo said with tears and smile in his eyes
(Hours later)
Hours of reveling later left any sort of explanation in shambles. Immediately upon everyone's return, the entire guild proceeded to throw a party, the likes of which hadn't been seen in seven whole years of emptiness.
Mavis Vermillion! The First Master of Fairy Tail
Apparently she'd sealed Tenrou Island in an ancient magic known as Fairy Sphere, moments before Acnologia's attack. Ensconced within its embrace, Back then she took everyone bonds and faith and converted all of it into a magical power. Though they sealed in a frozen state so even though seven years have passed they won't become older.
"So… you're the fourth master of fairy tail, hmm?" Makarov said
"Wh-what're you saying, I'm just filling in.! you can have back your title right away!"
"No need… this might be interesting you can be the Master for a while."
"Seriously?, Ha-ha if that's what you wish then I'll be the Master for a while!" Makao Said with proud smile in his face.
"They probably won't say anything but I know they all going to be disappointed"
"I know, right! Kupupupu" Makarov said with a giggle..
It was then a group of people come in
"Welcome back everyone" Sherry Blendy said
"Oooooonn!" Toby
"Looks like it turned into a noisy guild again." Lyon
"Have you all been well?" Jura Neekis
"Psssh.. they haven't grown at all in seven years" Yuka Suzuki
"You… You Guys" "Lamia Scale!" Gray and Lucy Said
"Well when we're searching for you guys Tenma and Lamia Scale Helped us" Max said with smile
"Looks like we're in your debt" Gray said
"Don't worry about it, Tenma Made it out first but we have much more power" Lyon replied
"Well, enough about that… what important is that everyone Okay"
The party started again for them even after the seven long years of nothing, Fairy Tail is still alive
(Two weeks later)
The Grand Magic Games.
They would be entering, in order to reclaim their place as Fairy Tail's strongest guild. Yes, they had the old guild building back. There was also the 30,000,000 jewel prize as an incentive. With that money, Fairy Tail would be able to reclaim all the resources they'd lost. Easily. Effortlessly.
"It's decided, we will enter the grand magic fight battle" Makarov Said
"Hmm what?" everyone was confused of this
"As I said we will enter the grand magic fight battle" Makarov repeated it
"Grand magic fight battle? What is that?" Natsu Gray Lucy asked
"The Grand Magic Games is an annual competition held to determine the strongest guild in Fiore" Romeo Explained
"YOSH, so when is it?" Natsu Asked with determination in his eyes
"It's going to be held in 3 month from now"
"TIME IS ENOUGH! WE HAVE TO DO MORE EXERCISE… TO MAKE FAIRY TAIL NUMBER 1 GUILD IN FIORE!" Natsu Yelled
"OHH!" "LET'S GO FOR NO.1 OF FIORE!"
"TEAM FAIRY TAIL! GO TO THE GRAND MAGIC FIGHT BATTLE!" EVERYONE YELLED
After that they went with each other team and start training for the next 3 month
To Be Continued.
