The last light of the will of fire
Hey guys this is a new project of mine in which I will include two of my favorite anime´s Naruto and Fairy Tail I want to make clear that this story starts four years before the Fairy Tail Canon so expect some time skips in the future. Now let's start with the story but first I want to make clear that I don't own Naruto or the Fairy Tail series.
Naruto was standing in front of a large statue that looked like the head of a monster trapped inside of a giant tree which one instead of roots had something that looked like giant hand coming out of the ground it had nine eyes on the face and each one of them was glowing with a different color except the one that was in the middle, he was panting heavily thanks to all the fighting he had gone through in the last six hours, but he didn't care about it anymore because in front of him the only way to finally end the war that had been going on for two years was lying on the ground a few meters away from him grimacing in pain with a hand on his badly hurtled chest, and yet he was laughing evilly which only caused more anger in the blond teen.
"What the hell is going on with you Madara you are laughing even when all your plans have been destroyed or is it that you finally lost it after realizing that you are about to die?" the blond teen said with anger in his voice as he watched how Madara started to laugh even lauder.
"Oh so you think that all my plans are finished you couldn't be more wrong as I see things I am about to succeed I just need to beat you down and take that fucking fox out of your body and then I will be able to control the Jubbi and use to destroy all my enemies and finally take revenge on those who stood against me in the past" Madara said with a cold tone of voice as he started to stand up from the ground with a lot of difficulty.
"Huh and how do you plan to do that in your current condition you can barely stand as I see things I just need to give you a finish blow to kill you and finally end this fucking war accept it you are finished" Naruto stated with anger in his voice as he prepared himself to lunch one final attack against Madara.
"And that is exactly why I'm laughing don't you think that is pretty amusing that the boy that nearly killed me a moment ago with an incredible elemental jutsu it's the same stupid boy that only talked about fighting against the hatred of people and that tried to attack me when I meet him in the land of snow two years ago, well I guess its true that the war can change anyone even the dumbest ones don't you think Naruto? " Madara said with a teasing tone of voice as he prepared himself to fight again even when he was pretty injured a the moment
But even when Madara only wanted to piss off Naruto he was right the boy standing in front of him ready to kill him was not the same Naruto that he used to be before the war but actually nothing was the same at all, his friends, the landscapes and in general all the people form the elemental nations had changed drastically as a consequence of the fourth ninja war that has been going on for two years without rest. Naruto was seventeen years old now and had changed a lot in many ways as a consequence of the war nowadays he didn't smile often he wasn't childish anymore his eyes had lost the warm light they used to have leaving only a cold emotionless stare, he didn't use his usual orange/black colored clothes anymore he just wore a black colored ANBU suit with a black cape similar to the one his father used in the past with a red colored inscription in the back that said "Will of Fire", it also was a fact that he had become incredibly stronger and intelligent in the arts of war but now he was always afraid of himself because he felt like he was losing all the mercy and respect towards human life that he had once but who was to blame him when nearly everybody he knew had changed in the same way as a consequence of all the things they have faced in the past two years actually it was a miracle that he had kept his mental stability after all the things he had experienced recently, things like having to kill Sasuke with his own hands or watch how her best friend Sakura was blown into pieces along with an entire squadron of leaf village ninjas one could say that he had changed when he meet the worst side of humanity with his own eyes.
"Shut the hell up Madara and lets end this once and for all I have had enough of this war already an with you dying everything will end too " Naruto stated with a cold tone of voice as he activated the golden colored cloak of chakra with the shape of a fox that he had acquired when he finally learned to control the Kyubi´s Chakra and started to form his strongest Jutsu on his left hand "The Tetra Elemental Big Bang Rasengan" which consisted in a mixture of the four elements inside of the whirlpool of chakra of a giant Rasengan.
"Huh so be it kid if you want to end this here I will also fight at my fullest but hear me out this time you won't be able to reach me with that Jutsu and even I you do reach me I will still win this" Madara stated with anger in his voices as he activated his Mangekio sharingan surrounding himself with the armor of Susanno.
"Susanno again didn't you learn last time that thing canot stand against the strength of this attack now Madara die" Naruto yelled at Madara as he dashed forward to strike him down.
"On the contrary I did learned and that is why I'll burn you to a crisp before you reach me Amateratsu" Madara shouted as shot a wave of black fire toward the blond teen who didn't managed to dodge the attack completely but even when his left arm was on fire he didn't stop and instead of that he used the "flying thunder god jutsu" to move himself at an incredible speed and when he was behind Madara he struck him with the sphere he had on his right hand as he yelled "Big bang Rasengan" in the moment the attack made contact with Madara Sussano started to shatter by the strength of the jutsu the only thing that could be heard was Madara screaming in pain "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE HOW DID THIS HAPPENED" and after that a giant explosion caused by the raging elements inside the sphere occurred the blast was so strong that it sent Naruto flying against a wall and it also damaged the giant statue that served as container for the tailed beasts.
When the explosion ended Naruto stood up and sealed away the dark flames that were burning his left arm with a scroll it was only thanks to the chakra coat of the jinchuriki mode that he didn't lost his arm but he did receive some serious burns that he would get treated later because right now he had to check if Madara was really dead he knew that the strength of his finishing move was enough to destroy an entire army but he was treating with a very tricky guy so he didn't want t take any risks as he was searching for any evidence of Madara survival he decided to dispel the Kyubi mode and after some minutes of searching the room and not finfing anything he decide that Madara was done for so he started t head towards the exit of the room
"I can't believe how close I was to fulfill my revenge and yet again someone has stopped me and to make it worse it was the son of the man that stopped me the first time but I had enough if I'm going to die I will take everyone with me" Madara thought to himself as he started to crawl towards the head of the Statue of dead with the only arm he had left after all the big bang Rasengan had destroyed more than a half of his body It was only in the last moments that he managed to teleport what was left of him to the top of the tailed beast container statue. "well let's give the boy one surprise he won't like" Madara thought when he was on the very top of the statue watching Naruto going towards the entrance of the room "It seems he things I'm dead how great this is going o be" he thought as he put his hand o a hidden seal that was painted on the top of the head of the statue that was when he finally talked.
"Hey Naruto I accept that that you win this time and that you have shattered all my plans but you won't stop my revenge cause you know I think I can still make a pretty good bomb with what I have stored here just imagine what a bomb made with the chakra of eight of the nine beast can do it wouldn't surprise me if it killed all your friends outside the tower actually I think that an explosion of that magnitude could even shatter the bonds of reality and that would be more than enough for me" Madara said in a crazy tone of voice as he stared directly at the blond teen.
When Naruto heard Madara´s voice he turned to look at the giant statue and that was when he made to see where he was and the state in which he was it was impressive that he was still alive because what Naruto saw at the top of the statue was just a head and an arm that were barely attached to a piece of his chest but hwen the blond boy heard what Madara was planning to do he started to run towards the place where he was as panic started to fill his mind.
"No you wouldn't do that an explosion like that would destroy everything including you or your comrades I not going to let you do that " Naruto shouted with anger in his voice as he pumped chakra to his legs and then jumped towards the spot where Madara was with a shuriken rasengan forming in his hand he didn't care if the jutsu was damaging his right arm because his objective was to stop Madara with on hit before he could detonate the tallied beasts chakra unfortunately when he was about to reach him it was already too late.
"Good try to stop me kid but were to slow see you in hell anyway ¡Kayyy! " And after those words from Madara the Statue started to shine with an intense red color.
When Naruto realize what just happened he felt as he was being sucked by the incredible amount of energy that was gathering at the center of the statue suddenly he felt as if a thousand blades had gone through him and before he lose consciousness the last thing he could hear was the sound of a terrible explosion and the cries and screams for help.
Outside the building all the ninjas from the alliance that were fighting against the last stand of Madara¨s forces just heard the sound of a terrible explosion but before they could realize what just happened they were dead already. On that day every living thing was erased from existence in the elemental nations but the history of Naruto Uzumaki didn't come to an end just to a new begging.
IIIIIIII0IIIIIIIII
Naruto felt like he was flying floating into nothingness but he knew he wasn't dead because he also felt terrible pain all over his body so he started to wonder I he was in hell or something until he hear a voice beside him and it was a voice that in the past he swore to never forget the voice of his mother but for some reason he couldn't open his eyes to look at her and he couldn't talk too.
"My little boy don't worry you are not dead it isn't your time there´s still plenty of time for you in the place where you are going but it pains me to know that you will be alone again and that you will suffer a lot for some time and that is why I came to say good bye to you and to tell you that you should never give up especially now that you will be alone again" Kushina´s voice said with caring tone of voice
Naruto couldn't help to wonder why his mother was telling him all of this and why she was telling him that he was going to be alone again because if he was alive probably more people survived to the blast but his hopes were shattered when another voice spoke to him this time it was his father.
"You fought bravely Naruto but I am afraid that this time destiny played us a bad card but don't worry all your friends are in peace now and they don't hate you actually every one of them is proud of you for fighting until the end and they also want you to keep living no matter what and I also want that Naruto you deserve to be happy and I have faith that you will recover from this sooner or later because you are my son and also because you carry he last shining light of the will of fire" Minato said with a voice full of pride and love to his son and then he and Kushina spoke together
"Never give up no matter what Naruto go and live your life to the fullest and try to find happiness in this new place" after Naruto heard that he felt like he was swallowed by something and then he lost his conscious once again.
-Somewhere at Earth Land X780
As Naruto started to regain consciousness he also felt a terrible pain on his arms which forced him to open his eyes but the light of the sun didn't let him see clearly it was until his ayes got accustomed to the light the he realized that he was lying on the ground in the middle of what seemed to be a devastated town he couldn't help to wonder what the hell had happened to him it was until he looked at his arms that the memories started to flow in his mind he remembered fighting Madara, he remember how he beat him and then he remembered what happened next how that fucking bastard in a suicidal intent tried to blow the container of the tailed beast chakra and then…. Everything went to hell
"Dammit it was my entire fault if I-I wasn't so weak everybody would be a-alive" Naruto said with a lot of pain in his voice as tears started to fall from his eyes. " I should be the one dead not all my friends I don't deserve to be alive dammit why the hell did you save me Kami just to laugh at my face again like you have been doing it during all my life". Naruto yelled at the sky with pain in his voice and then he started hitting the ground with his fists even when his arms were so badly hurt after all he didn't care about physical pain anymore because nothing could be compared to the pain he was felling after losing everything that he knew. Suddenly he felt a voice telling him something in his mind.
"Hey kid stop crying like a little baby and try to find a way to heal those arms of yours if you don't want to lose them" the kyubi said with an annoyed tone of voice
"Shut up Fox don't you realize that we have lost everything just a moment ago"
"oh come one some people dies and you start crying like a little girl get over it already kid after all didn't you hear what that bastard of your father and the bitch of your mother said to us that they were happy for your survival and that sadly every one of them were at peace now"
"Shut the hell up already don't you realize that it pains to know that a lot of people died because of my weakness"
"Well then get up and let go and kill something so you can get stronger"
"For god sake I have lost everything that I knew but no they couldn't take you away when you are the only thing that I really hate"
"oh yeah poor you God hates you now get over this pain fast and let's try to find something about this fucking new world cause I hope that you already know that we are no longer in the elemental nations"
"What we are no longer in the elemental nation?"
"For god´s sake how dumb can you be stupid kid that was quite obvious in the moment that we crossed trough the dimensional rift that was caused by the crash between your Shuriken Resengan and the Chakra explosion"
"So it was that dimensional rift thing what truly saved me from dying in that explosion"
"Yeah it was your luck once again so stop crying like a… NARUTO GET READY YOU CANT BE WAISTING TIME AROUND HERE APARENTLY IN THIS WORLD THERE ARE DEMONS LIKE ME AND ONE OF THEM IS COMING THIS WAY IM QUITE SURE YOU CAN BEAT HIM BUT NOT IN THAT LAMENTABLE STATE OF YOUR´S SO USE SOME OF MY CHAKRA TO HEAL SOME OF YOUR WOUND AND FAST" the Kyubi shouted his orders to Naruto with anger and uneasiness in his voice.
With that Naruto got back to reality and started to pull out some of the chakra of the demon Fox to heal his wound and he also started gathering natural energy to go in sannin mode if it was needed as he waited for the demon to arrive at his position "Excellent fighting a demon will surely help me clear up my mind and in the worst of the cases I will die destroying a pest from this world" Naruto thought to himself and then a dark smile appeared on his face.
Half an hour later Naruto´s wound on his right arm where nearly healed completely but the one caused by the fire of the amateratsu was barely healed and it pained him a lot apparently the damage caused by that demonic fire was nearly irreparable Naruto was trying to take out more of the kyubi chakra to heal that wound when he felt an incredibly evil presence standing some meters behind him and then he heard an evil chuckle.
"It seems that I didn't kill everyone yesterday when I attacked this horrible village and even when you survived you were fool enough to stay here instead of running away from me seriously how foolish can humans be" the demons said with an annoyed yet evil tone of voice as he started to walk towards Naruto
"Don't you think that is more foolish to believe that I'm a survivor of this village you stupid demon" Naruto stated with a calmed tone of voice and without moving from his position."What was that did I hear you calling me an stupid demon you human trash you must really want to die don't you realize who am I" the demon said with anger in his voice as he started to gather some kind of power that was similar to chakra to Naruto´s eyes but at the same time it was different like more spiritual and less physical.
"I don't have any idea of who you are but a can guess I bet that you are a stupid demon who hates humanity and want to rip their souls out an who thinks that no one can beat him" Naruto said with an annoyed tone of voice but still without moving from the floor
"And you dare to call me stupid again foolish human I'm going to kill you now tremble because you are facing Chernabog the riper of souls and one of the demons of the book of Zeref" the Demon said as he raised on of his gigantic fist and then he sent a punch against the blond kid that was siting motionless in the ground in front of him he clearly saw how the body of the blond kid was crushed under his fist so he started to lough evilly."That was indeed a good punch but now it's my turn" Naruto said as he appeared in Sage mode in front of the gigantic demon face and then he punched the demon with all his might and as a consequence of this the demon fell crashing to the ground holding a hand on his damaged face.
"What are you that strength of yours clearly it's not human" the demon said as he stood up from the ground
"The name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm the one who is going to kill you for certain" Naruto said with a smirk on his face.
"Don't get cocky kid now I know that I have to get serious with you and that means a lot of pain to you" the demons said as he raised one of his hands and started to gather dark energy in it until he shouted "Darkness devours" and with that a giant ball of dark energy was shoot towards Naruto
"Very well let's see who is the strongest" and with that said the blond called upon the kyubi chakra and then he formed a ball similar to the one the demon was gathering but this one was composed of the black chakra of the kyubi and then he shouted "Kyubi bomb" and with that he sent flying the small ball of energy against the giant one when they crashed they exploded together and the explosion sent flying Naruto and the demon in different direction.
-Meanwhile on a road that was about 3 kilometers away from the place where Naruto and the demon where fighting
A tall and muscular man with shoulder-length reddish orange hair wearing a black cape was walking along the road that headed towards the place where Naruto was fighting the demon "Man I can't believe that the old man asked me to take this job just because he had a bad feeling about it even when he knows that I'm preparing myself to go on that one hundred years mission I mean where is the danger in going to a small mountain village and retrieve this chalice of dark lord thing from the village chief " the man thought to himself as he sighted but suddenly the sound of an enormous explosion was heard and he could see a dark/purple glow in the direction he was headed "Well I guess that is the danger I was asking for damn me and my big mouth "and with hat the tall man started to run in the direction he saw the purple glow.
-Back to the site of the fight
As Naruto started to regain consciousness he noticed that a piece of wood had pierced him through the abdomen and he was bleeding badly apparently the explosion sent him crashing against one of the ruined houses and then this happened he suddenly started to hear the voice of the Kyubi.
"Damn I kid don't even thing on fighting that demon straight forward once again if you don't want to die I mean probably the explosion caused him some damage too but he has the benefits of his size"
"Yeah I know that already stupid fox I will try to use my velocity against his size this time by the way can you try to heal the hole in my abdomen"
"Damn it with you always asking for favors can't you do something by yourself but its ok because if you die I die too take that piece of junk out of your body and I will try to heal the wound"
"Ok then I'm going now to finish this"
"Hey punk one more thing you can't kill a demon so if you want to win this fight you will need to seal it in one of those scrolls you are always carrying but to do it you will have to weaken him first"
"Roger beat the crap out of him and then seal him hey who would have thought you can be this helpful when you act nicely"
With that said Naruto got back to reality and then he rose from the ground as he removed the piece of wood from his abdomen which caused him even more bleeding for a moment.
"Ok let's try it another time you fucking demon" Naruto said with anger in his voices as he got back outside but to his surprise the demon was badly hurt too and lying in the ground it seemed that the explosion sent him flying against a wall of rock that was in the opposite side of the village in ruins which caused some rocks to fall and came crashing down on him.
"You really surprised me human with that attack how the hell are you able to gather such amount of demonic energy in that short lapse of time but it's enough with my next attack I will finish you" Chernabog said as he rose from the ground and put a hand in front of him once again and then recited some words "As fire burns flesh and metal cuts life's darkness will scar and burn the soul of my enemies an then bring the final torment upon them , in that moment is when they will know ABSOLUTE DARKNES" as he finished chanting an enormous black rune appeared behind him and suddenly thousands of blasts where coming out of it dashing towards Naruto.
"Wow that is indeed some big attack sadly it won't even touch me" As he shouted that he threw a kunai similar to the ones his father used in the past but with an explosive seal hanging from it and after making some hand seals he said "Kunai shadow clone technique" and after he said that instead of just one kunai flying towards the demons there were thousands of them but Naruto wasn't done yet he made another series of hand seals and then he said "Flying thunder god Jutsu" and after that Naruto disappeared to the demons surprise the only thing he could see was a yellow ray of light moving on different directions dodging all of his blasts of shadow energy.
When the kunais started to pierce the demon in different places he could help to laugh after all he didn't even felt a little stung for each one of them "Seriously do you plan to hurt me with this stupid human this doesn't even hurt" the demons said whit a mocking tone of voice but then suddenly Naruto materialized infront of him chuckling
"Well my friend that is because I haven't finished yet but just because you are so desperate to feel pain take this ¡Kay! " Naruto said as he made a single hand seal and after that all the kunais attached to the body of the demon started to explode hurting him badly the only thing that he could hear where the screams of pain from the demon but he wasn't done for not yet it wasn't enough yet to seal the beast he had to hit him with something hard like the shuriken Rasengan but it was dangerous since the sage mode has ware off in the moment he lost consciousness when he was hit by the explosion of the dark powers.
"Ah what the hell I have been trough worse besides I don't really care if I die here" and as Naruto sad that to himself he made a handsel and four shadow clones appeared and together they started to mold wind chakra on his hand and when the shuriken shaped rasengan was formed I his hands the four clones threw him towards the demon.
The demon was still being affected be the exploding seals he couldn't believe that a mere human had caused him so much damage that's when realization hit him and he spoke "What kind of mage are you kid I'm supposed to be invulnerable to any kind of elemental magic and still this fire is affecting me greatly" and after saying that the demon realized that Naruto was dashing towards him with something in his right hand that he could describe as the strongest form of wind magic he had ever seen in all his long life but is was still a little bit different to normal magic but because of the pain he was felling the only thing he could manage to do was try to block the attack with his giant arms.
"You want to know what am I well I'm no mage I am the last remaining light of the will of fire now take this ¡Futton Rasen shuriken !" Naruto shouted as he struck the demon and in the moment the sphere made contact wuth the skin of the demon it expanded in a big explosion of wind chakra the demon could feel how his arms were shredded to pieces and then he felt as if a thousand blades were going through his whole body but before the demon lose his conscious he laugh evilly and the said.
"You are indeed an strong opponent but sadly for you I am an immortal being and I will recover even I you left me in this condition but In your case you won't recover and probably die welcome to my trap Naruto Uzumaki" and after saying that he chanted "Absolute Darkness liberation" and after that the demon was sent flying by the force of the shuriken rasengan.
Naruto was still flying in the air and the arm in which he had been holding the Shuriken Rasengan pained him like hell but the he realized what the demon meant when he said he has fallen in his trap the giant dark rune hadn't disappeared and in the middle of it a giant ball of energy was gathering suddenly an enormous ray of dark energy was shoot from the ball towards the blond kid and as he saw it approaching he just closed his eyes "So this is how mi story will end huh not bad at all but still I will die alone" he tough but suddenly he heard the voices of all his friends in his head telling him something.
"Naruto don't give up you can get out of this situation you deserve to live and be happy for all of us" all the voices of his deceased friends said at the same time and this made Naruto react he took a kunai from his leg pouch charged it with wind chakra and the he threw it on the direction the demon was sent flying and finally he made some hand seal in the moment the giant ray crashed with him.
-Somewhere near the site of the battle
The same tall muscular man with orange hair from before was about to reach the site of the battle but then something left him completely shocked when he was about to reach the entrance of the village where he was supposed to recover the Chalice of Dark lords he felt two incredible sources of power one that seemed to be evil and very strong on dark an demonic magic and another one that was strong but completely different to any kind of magic he had felt before then when he was getting ready to enter in what he supposed was a big fight he saw a gigantic humanlike thing flying through the air and crashing in the ground just a few meters away from where he was standing he was even more shocked when he recognized that the thing was a demon pretty beat up and injured and it was not a simple demon he remembered him form some history books as the ninth demonic creation from Zeref Chernaborg lord of fallen souls and the one believed to be invulnerable to elemental magic, as he started to approach to the fallen corpse of the demon he felt that strong yet rare source of power coming at a great speed from behind him suddenly he saw something that looked like a knife coming at a great speed engulfed in what he believed was wind magic so he had to jump to one side in order to dodge it when he got back to his feet he realized that there as a big gash in the ground where the knife collided and when he started to move towards It he managed to see a yellow ray of light passing just in front of him at an incredible speed he tought it was an attack against him so he tried to stop it using his magical shattering powers but he was surprised to see that his attack was deflected as if it was nothing by the ray of yellow light and then he heard a voice saying.
"G-get out of the way old man I have to finish that fucking d-demon before he recovers" the voice said as the yellow ray of light crashed in the same place that the knife crashed revealing the form of a young blond kid that was completely covered by several kind of injuries burns, cuts, a hole in his abdomen and a lot of bruises the young kid was covered by some kind of energy that was shaped like the form of a fox with 6 tails, he also was holding something that looked like some kind of scroll .
"I am sorry Chernabog it will take more than that little trap of yours to take me down now it will be you the one who will disappear" Naruto said as he started to make a series of hand seal an then he raised his left hand suddenly flames of different colors appeared on his fingers as he shouted "Sealing technique seal of the four elements" and after that he crashed his hand on the scroll he was holding and after that some things that looked like green glowing tentacles started to get out from the scroll and started to cover up the body of the demon and after a few moments they started to glow brightly and after a few minutes they disappeared along with the body of the demon.
The old man was shocked by what the blond kid just did apparently he was capable of sealing the demon inside of that scroll with some kind of strange energy something that until now he thought was impossible to do by any regular mage he stood there watching how the blond kid folded the scroll and turned to look at him as he said with a tired voice.
"Hey old man I can sense you have a great power I believe that I can trust you to watch over this thing in my place keep it safe with your life because that demon is trapped inside and we don't want him braking free from the seal am I right" The blond kid said as he started to walk towards the old man
As the blond kid was geting closer to him the old man was able to see how bad the condition of the kid was he was bleeding from nearly every part of his body, he had a hole that was bleeding a little on his abdomen, one of his arms was covered in blood and the other one seemed to be burned quite badly. "Hey kid I will take care of that scroll but I will also take care of you as I see things it's a miracle that you are standing my hometown it's not too far from here come on… I can take your there" the old man said as he approached to Naruto offering to carry him.
"By the way do you have a name" the old man asked as he grabbed the scroll from Naruto´s hands
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and don't worry about me you can leave me here after all I wasn't planning to get out alive from this fight you see I don't have anything left to keep living for" Naruto said as he stared directly at the old man´s eyes and in that moment the old man managed to see only pain sadness and the filling of emptiness inside of the blond kid eyes hi couldn't avoid to think that a boy of that age shouldn't have a look like that in his eyes
"Well Naruto my names is Gildartz and as a mage of Fairy Tail I cannot leave a kid so badly injured behind and just walked away so no matter what you tell me I'm taking you back to Magnolia to get you treated" the man named Gildartz said as he put a hand on Naruto´s shoulder but then he realized that the blond kid was falling to the ground unconscious so he picked him from the ground and started running on the opposite direction he came from "Damn kid just hang on a little longer I will certainly save you" Gildartz tough as he started to run faster not even caring that his break magic was shattering everything that was in front of him
-Half an hour later at the fairy Tail guild
It was a rainy day in Magnolia so everybody was sitting inside of the guild building chatting, eating or drinking something it has been a peaceful week for the guild so everyone was just enjoying the time with their friends everyone except the guild master Makarov who was worried about Gildartz even when he was the strongest mage in Fairy Tail the mission in which he had sent him could prove to be quite dangerous if his suspicions about this "Chalice of the Dark lords" that was found on a cave near a small town in the mountains were right but if he was right that would mean the liberation of one of the ten strongest demons of Zeref "Chernaborg the one described on the book of Zeref as the one that rips and burns souls and that can't be hurt by elemental magic who was sealed inside of a cup named "Chalice of Dark Souls" a relic that was kept by the Magic Council until it was stolen by someone three years ago I really hope I'm wrong with my suspicion cause sailing a thing like that once again would be one hell of a job" Makarov thought to himself as he turned to look through the window in his office but suddenly a knock on the door of his office was heard.
"Come in please" Makarov said as he turned to look at the door with a fake smile in his face.
"Master are you alright, you have been closed up in your office since Gildartz left in the morning is something wrong?" A red haired girl wearing armor that looked like about fifteen years old asked as she entered the office looking concerned for the old man.
"Yeah Erza I'm a little worried about the job I gave to Gildartz something just seem to be off place first we got the request asking us to retrieve this chalice of Dark lords from a little community of mountain miners then we receive news that this same town was attacked yesterday at midnight by a giant monster it's too suspicious" the old man said with a thoughtful look in his face.
"But still master I don't see any reason to be worried about it after all Gildartz is the strongest man in the guild so I thing he can pull through any problem that may appear on his job" Erza said with a firm tone of voice as she put a hand on the older man shoulder, to reassure him.
"Maybe you are right but if my suspicion are right and this chalice turn out to be the one named "Chalice of dark Soul" and not dark lords that would imply that the giant monster that attacked the village is none other than Chernabog one of the ten strongest demons of Zeref" Makarov said with fear in his voice as he put his hand over the one of Erza.
"You mean the one also known as the eater of elements because of his invulnerability to them but master if you suspected that you shouldn't have sent Gildartz to do the job even when he is physically stronger than any of us his shatter and brake magic's are derived from earth element and that would leave him…" Erza was saying with a lot of concern in his voice but was cut short by Makarov who put a hand in front of her as a signal to be silent.
"That would leave him defenseless I know but what else was I supposed to do eh? He is the only one other than me that knows how to reseal a demon and besides he has more experience in these things than anyone from the guild" Makarov said with an annoyed yet worried tone of voice as he looked at Erza with a pained look in his eyes.
"At least you could have sent Mira and I to help him a little after all our magic is not related with elemental nature I quite sure we could have been useful at least…" The redhead was saying with a bossy tone of voice this time but was interrupted once again by the angry look that Makarov was giving her.
"No Erza you and Mirajane are too young to even think of facing a demon on your own, you see when you fight one of them things are not the same because you have to fight not only him but also his demonic influence and if you fail to do that you will be overcome by fear and as a consequence your magic will be useless I'm quite sure you know the feeling already just remember what you felt when you came closer to you friend Jellal in the past when he was corrupted" and as the old man said that Erza was able to remember clearly the feeling of despair and sickness she felt when she meet the demonic influenced Jellal and because of that a sad frown appeared in her face.
"You are right it´s indeed a horrible feeling and I also understand why you sent Gildartz alone but you didn't have to bring out that specific topic" Erza said with a melancholic tone of voice as she turned to leave the office.
"I'm sorry but I had to make sure you understand the reason of my decision I sent Gildartz alone because I wanted to avoid risking any of my children's to unnecessary danger and he wanted that too that why he accepted the job without hesitation, I'm just protecting my family" The guild master said with a sad smile in his face as he patted Erza on the back.
"I know boss but Gildartz is also part of our family so we cannot avoid feeling bad and worried for letting the older ones do the dangerous jobs just to protect us" Erza said with a caring voice as she started to leave the room but the old man stopped her.
"Erza I want you to keep this as a secret for the other members you know how they are I don't want to see Natsu going after Gildartz because he wants to help him" The old man said with a pleading tone of voice.
"Don't worry master for the moment I won't say a thing but you have to promise me that the next time that a problem like this one appears you will take us in account" the read head said as she left the room with a smile on her face
"Ok I will go out in a minute too I´ve been locked up for too long in here and I need something to eat" the old man said with a smile on his face but his mood changed instantly in the moment some bells started to ring in the distance because that was the signal that indicated that Gildartz was coming back to Magnolia
Meanwhile in the first floor of the guild a big brawl was going on and it was caused by a pink haired kid that looked like about thirteen years old who tried to start a fight with a black haired kid that looked about a year older than him but in the end all the guild was dragged into the fight so it was a total chaos so no one managed to hear the bells ringing in the distance it was until the sounds of crashes and explosions started to come closer to the guild that everyone except the pink haired boy and the black haired boy stopped fighting, it was until the doors of the entrance to guild exploded that the two boys stopped fighting and turned to look at the panting tall man with orange hair that seemed to be carrying something in his arms that was standing at the entrance of the building.
"Hey Gildartz welcome back now that your mission is over you can fight against me remember you promised me" the young boy with pink spiky hair said with a smile on his face.
Gildartz turned to look at the boy with a severe look in his eyes before saying "Not now Natsu where is the old man we have to treat this kid before it's too late" Gildartz said with a voice full of worry and fatigue it was at that moment that Natsu and Gray realized what was the thing that the older man was carrying it was the body of a blond boy that seemed to be pretty injured because there was blood all over his body they couldn't avoid to fall in panic because of what they saw so they just stood there paralyzed.
"He is on the second floor I will go and call him meanwhile bring that boy over here seriously Gildartz what did you do this time" A white haired girl that looked like about fifteen years said as she started to go toward the second floor but then she turned to look at another girl with white hair that seemed to be younger than her and said. "Lissana try to start healing the boy he is in a very bad state if we don't do something now he may die" and with that said the girl left the room.
As he was told Gildartz took Naruto´s unconscious body and put it on a table that was next to the young withe haired girl "Quickly didn't all of you hear what Mira said don't just stand there looking at the scene go fast and bring some water, blankets and bandages we have an injured boy here" Girdartz said towards all the gild member's that were just staring at the scene and suddenly every one was on the move looking for the things they were asked for and then he turned to look at Lissana who had a shocked look in her face after all she had never witnessed someone as hurt as the boy in front of her "I'm sorry little one for putting you inn this situation just try to do your best for the poor boy" Gildartz said with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Can you remove the upper part of his clothes so I can attend the wounds?" the little girl asked with a slight blush in her face.
When Gildartz removed what was left of Naruto´s clothing since it was all shredded because of the fight Lissana started to heal the smaller cuts and burns that Naruto had all over his body and when she was done with that she centered her attention on the hole he had on his abdomen.
"Seriously Gildartz you should be more careful with your magic I mean to get a kid so badly injured you must have very distracted by the way here take the bandages and the water that you asked us for" A slim man with slicked back dark hair said as he headed a bucket filled with clean water and some clean bandages to Gildartz.
Gildartz put the bucket with water at the side of Lisanna and the he put the bandages next to Naruto before responding "I didn't do this Macao the kid was already in that state when I arrived to that miners village where I was supposed to recover a relic for my job" Gildartz said with an annoyed tone of voice trying to avoid the chat about the topic since Makarov had asked him to keep this mission as a secret between them.
"What relic I thought you went to take rest at your place this morning" Macao said sounding very confused but before he could ask any further the voice of the guild master was heard.
"Enough of this chat we have a kid on the verge of death in our hands we will talk about this topic until we are sure he will survive the night" the old man said with a concerned tone as he walked towards them with Erza and Mirajane at his sides then he looked directly at Macao "We already talked with the other guild member's and told them to go home with us will be more than necessary to treat the boy so Macao I want you to take Natsu and Gray to the dormitories those two seemed to be quite shocked by what they saw today".
"Ok I´ll do that boss but what about Lissana she shouldn't be here if you knows what happens… to the kid" Macao whispered to Makarov so Lissana couldn't hear.
"Don't worry I'll take here home as soon as Mira-ne takes her place after all she is my little sister" a very muscular kid with white spiky hair said as he touched Macao's shoulder.
"Oh Elfman I didn't saw you there well then in that case I'm going I really hope that the kid get better he is too young to be on a situation like this one" And after Macao said that he gave a one last look to the unconscious blond before he went to pick Natsu and Gray that seemed to be about to cry and with the both of them he left the guild building.
"Hey sis how's he doing? Do you need a replacement already or you can keep up with the healing job" Mirajane asked to her little sister as she stood at her side looking at the injured boy.
At this point the little girl was panting by exhaustion she had nearly used all her magic by trying to heal the hole in the blond kid abdomen "Mira-ne I´ve been trying so hard to close this ugly hole in his abdomen but there some strange kind of energy on the wound that don't allow me to finish the healing and he has too much fever if this keeps going on than h-he will… j-just like m-mom did" Lissana said as she started to sob and then cry.
"Don't worry he will get better I promise you now go home with Elf-nichan and get some rest I´ll take your place ok you did a great job" Mirajane said with a motherly look in her eyes as she caressed her little sister head "Men why does she care so much for someone she doesn't even know" she tough to herself as she gave another look to the injured boy "I really hope that at least you know how to say thank you punk" she tough.
After Lisana and Elfman left the guild and Mirajane resumed her little sister healing job Makarov turned his attention to Gildartz and asked.
"I bet you have a good explanation for all of this don't you?" Makarov asked with a severe look in the eyes as he stared directly at Gildartz.
Gildartz assuming that all the present ones were aware of the mission in whom he went started to explain what happened.
"Look old man first if you believe I caused those wounds to that kid you are completely wrong when I found him he was already in that condition second you were right the so called chalice of the Dark lords was in reality the chalice of the dark souls and you were also right on your assumption that the one who attacked the Miner´s Village was Chernaborg the ninth creation of Zeref" Girldartz said with a serious tone of voice as he walked over to were Naruto was.
"Oh I see then this kid is one of the survivors of the village and when you beat Chernaborg you found him and brought him here to get him treated right" this time the one who spoke was Erza as she put a wet towel on Naruto´s forehead as a measure to reduce the fever he had.
"No you are completely wrong I'm not even the one who stopped the demon" Gildartz said with a little embarrassment in his voice as he accepted that he didn't do anything in this job.
"Well then in that case who stopped the demon It had to be someone with a wide knowledge in sealing technics perhaps you received help from someone from the Magic council" Makarov said with a lot of interest in his voice as he stared directly at Gildartz.
"Oh come the Council they wouldn't give a shit for a little village in the mountains the one that stopped and sealed the Demon was Naruto" Gildartz said with an exasperate tone of voice as he turned to look at all his partners.
"Naruto?" Everyone in the room asked with a look of confusion on their faces.
Gildartz was surprised by how dumb his friend could be when they weren't able to connect all the leads he has been giving them so he decided to explain "Naruto it's the name of the boy that I brought with me today the same boy that you are healing Mira, he was the one who beat and then sealed the demon" and after Gildartz said that all the presents went wide eyed by the impression and then all of them turned to look at the unconscious boy as if waiting for something miraculous to happen.
"So that means he´s an incredibly strong mage but that impossible I can't feel any magic at all inside of him" Mirajane said as she put one of her hand on the boy chest to try to sense any magical power but she didn't felt nothing.
"No Mira he really poses a great power within him you may not sense it because you are to young but I can see it a power so similar and yet so different to magic runs through his body" The guild master explained as he gave an analytic view to the unconscious blond boy "But what could It be that other current that runs through his body just by looking at it I get a sinister feeling" the old man thought to himself.
"Well I can't say that I saw his fight with the demon but I can assure you that he must be a very thug guy by the explosions sounds I heard as I was reaching the place of the fight and also because he managed to perform a very weird sealing ritual in that bad condition before blacking out" Gildartz said as he gave a look full of pride towards Naruto. "I'm quite sure he could be a very good addition to the guild" Gildartz said that as he remembered the last words of Naruto before he blacked out "you can leave me here after all I wasn't planning to get out alive from this fight you see I don't have anything left to keep living for" he couldn't help but feel very sad for the blond kid.
"I also believe he would be a great addition to the guild because you know… he is strong and if Gildartz thinks he deserves it well I think so too" Erza said immediately after Gildartz voiced the idea of Naruto joining the guild she didn't knew why but she started to feel some kind of admiration for the boy after hearing Gildartz story.
"Oh come on Erza you are as dumb and shameful as ever just accept that you want him joining the guild because he´s hot but you know what I he does join I saw him first so he´s mine" Mirajane said as she stood up from the chair she was on to send an evil glare towards Erza.
"I didn't mean it that way I just think he could be a great partner for a good spar and besides I'm not dumb or shameful you stupid white haired mole" Erza yelled at Mirajane with a lot of anger in his voice.
"What did you say redheaded bitch you are looking for a fight don't you" Mirajane yelled back at Erza as a bitchy smile appeared on her face.
"Now it's not the time for this so keep it for another time Mira you need to keep healing Naruto" Makarov said with a lot of authority in his voice as he sent a severe look at both girls.
"Ok ok but still I can't do much now boss I have finished the healing and cleaning of the whole body so he is stable now but I have tried nearly every healing magic that I know on that burn on his left arm and nothing works and his left arm seems to be damaged by cuts to a cellular level so I can't do much on that one too but still I don't think he will have problems with those two for the moment besides it seems he has been through much worse injuries just look at that" Mirajane said as she pointed towards an X a shaped scar that Naruto had over the place where the heart is located.
Makarov walked towards the place where Mira was attending Naruto to look at what the girl was pointing at and also to analyze personally the unhealed wounds and when he saw all the scars the boy already had in his body he tough "It seems that you really have been through a lot in you short life time don't you boy" then he looked at his left and right arms for a moment "It seems that this I all we can do for him for today the wound in his arms cannot be treated by us but tomorrow I will take him with an old friend of mine I bet she can heal them quite easily for now Guildartz could you help me to carry him to a bed on the upper floor?" The old man asked to Gildartz before turning to the both girls and saying
"Thank you both for your grate work attending the kid but now you may go to your homes and have a good rest I will watch over him for the night and tomorrow I will take him to my old friend so don't expect him to be around here the least I can promise you both is that I will invite him to join the guild in the moment he regains consciousness" the old man said with an enthusiastic smile on the face.
"OK I will look forward to that promise boss I'm quite interested in meeting that boy and I'm sure my redhead friend is also interested" Mirajane said with an evil smirk in her face
Erza just blushed a little because of Mirajane´s insinuation and then bowed wishing good night to Gildartz and to Makarov and after that she left the guild quickly followed by a laughing Mirajane
"Now then let's take the kid upstairs and then you can tell me what else is troubling you Gildartz" Makarov said with a concerned tone of voice as he started to go upstairs
"You know me to well old man don't you" Gildartz said as he picked Naruto and then went upstairs following the Guild master.
-A little later at Makarov office
"So what's troubling you my old friend?" Makarov asked with a friendly and kind tone of voice.
"Well gramps to tell you the truth I worried for Naruto and not because of his wounds you see when I met him he asked me to take care of this" Gildartz said as he put the scroll in which Naruto sealed Chernaborg on the table.
"What is this thing a scroll for what?" The guild master asked very confused
"Well my friend that thing is where the boy sealed Chernaborg and if you don't believe me you just have to touch it to feel his demonic presence roaming on it" and as Gildartz said that Makarov touched the scroll and he immediately felt the presence of the demon.
"Incredible I have never seen a seal like this one before and he must be a genius to be able to use seals at such a young age" Makarov said with proud in his words
"yeah its incredible but that is not what is bothering me what troubles me I something that he said after handing me the scroll because he told me to leave him behind an go away he also told me that he didn't have the plan to survive the fight against the demon because he didn't had anything left to live for an then I saw the look in his eyes they were filled with sadness, hatred and emptiness it was like looking at the eyes of a dead corpse" Girldartz said with a very worried tone in his voice.
"So that´s part of the reason you gave the idea to make him a guild member" Makarove said with a deep tone in his voice.
"Yeah it was the only idea that came to my mind when I saw all that pain in his eyes I mean if we could give him a new reason to live for maybe we could heal his damaged heart a little" Gildartz said with a sad tone in his voice
"Gildartz you really are a good man for worrying so much about the child but If he doesn't want our help we won't be able to do anything so you must be ready for a possible denial but I promise you that I will try to convince him of joining the guild because since I saw him I got this strange feeling that told me he belonged here" Makarov said with a concerned tone of voice and then turned to look at the rainy night through the window of his office "Damn I really hate rainy days like this one its seems that only bad things happen on this days'" the gild master thought to himself as he kept looking through the window
