Where Two Gifts Are Given Over Anger

It is the year X778,

"Stupid Erza!" In the East Forest, named by its location in relevance to Magnolia that is the capital city of the continent Fiore, there was someone not happy. "And Gray!" Not happy at all. "You stink!"

This boy was around ten years old with salmon mink hair that is clearly not combed down. He is wearing a scarf with realistic looking scales in a pattern. The clothes he is wearing consists of a simple red shirt, yellow and brown pants that are held up by a yellow cloth for a belt, and a pair of brown shoes. It all makes him look like a typical boy that happened to be an orphan; his name is Natsu Dragneel.

"HAA!" And it looks like Natsu had been punching a tree on its middle section, with crudely drawn pictures roped to the bark. It was like Natsu had created his own version of a makeshift punching bag. But it was only damaging his fists. And when Natsu decided to really let lose some anger with a slightly stronger punch that managed to shake the tree and scare off some birds.

"That…didn't hurt…at all!" Natsu learned that he wasn't getting anywhere and only getting himself hurt when his right hand started to really sting. But that was more than a swoon hand, it made Natsu scream. "M-my hand! My wrist! It is broken!"

Natsu saw that the extra-strong 'punch' had actually twisted his fingers and broke the bones in his wrist while dislocating a few of the muscle fibers in the process. And while he screamed, Natsu didn't fall and cry about it; he learned that nothing gets done by crying, not even getting help from his 'friends'. They just hurt him more or just laugh at him.

And in that mix of pain and anger, Natsu hallucinated the pictures that he made were indeed laughing at his pain. This caused Natsu to ignore the injury to his right hand and went back to punching senselessly with his only good hand. But while this will only get the remaining good hand injured as well, something else happened.

"HAA!" Natsu poured all his strength into his left arm and actually punched so far that his hand landed inside the tree! "Oh no!" Natsu finally panicked; he was now hurt and stuck in the tree bark. "OWW! EEH!" Natsu almost forgot about his hurt right hand when he tried to tug his left arm out.

Immediately giving up on that, Natsu just placed his legs on the roots at the base to try and wedge his arm loose. So much that he looked away and closed his eyes and pulled with all his might. This was when the hole in the tree started to glow green but Natsu failed to notice.

"Let go! Let go! LET GO!" Natsu screamed and tugged and screamed and tugged again until he felt released, causing him to meet the dirt he was walking on. But Natsu ignored the rocks and dust on his face when something fell on his back just when he tried to get up. "What the heck?"

Looking up the best he could, Natsu lost all his anger and forgot about his panic to see an egg almost bigger than he is that was safely on his back. Softly, slowly and gently, Natsu twisted his body so that the egg landed on the ground without any possibility of damage so that the boy can get a better look at it.

The egg was incredible and nothing like the ones that Natsu buys with the pocket change from time to time. The design wasn't simple all-white. It had a blue, claw-like pattern on it that seemed to be like some kind of big creature. Regardless, Natsu was in awe at the sight. "Cool!" But when Natsu went to pick it up, the egg was lighter than it looked, there was this about him that scared the poor boy again.

"What the!? My hand!?" Indeed, Natsu's right hand was somehow fixed; the fingers were no longer crooked and the wrist retained its flexibility and stability. It was like Natsu never broke it in the trees back in the first place. And speaking of which, *CRACK! THUD!* Natsu cringed to hear a familiar sound. That was the one that he heard when something fell and broke; and Natsu was always scolded and punished when he heard that. "Oh no! Now what did I do!?" And poor Natsu has heard that sound a lot thus he both hated it feared for all the times he was humiliated and beaten.

Natsu then waited a good ten minutes, nothing happened. Opening one eye to see that there were still no one around but him and the egg. Letting loose a breath of relief, Natsu decided to see what had been broken; the tree he was punching had fallen down in his direction. But there was something about where it fell off that got Natsu's attention.

"A hole?" Yes, there was a hole that was right where the base of the tree used to be. And it wasn't an empty hole either. There was something that rested perfectly in the hole, like it was placed there on purpose. "A scroll. Like the books that Erza forces me to read!" Natsu once again received bad memories and found himself looking around to see this 'Erza' was about to 'force him to read' the scroll. When still, there was no one else around, Natsu looked a lot less pale.

"Oh well. I guess that I will read it and prove to Erza that I don't need to learn how without a sword to the neck!" Natsu proves to be excited about even the strangest and most awkward of things. And when Natsu finally found the cover that was loose on one of the ends to the scroll, he opened the paper within only to get a confused look. "What is the heck is all this? I know these strange…things that Erza called 'letters' but these looked all messed up."

Natsu then took a couple of fingers on his right hand to try and move the letters like in a jigsaw puzzle. To his surprise and awe, the letters moved just like that. Without damaging the paper! "There!" After some fun in 'fixing' the letters, Natsu had finally been able to read them. "Let's see."

It was like a journal article, done by a man that seemed to have a long name that Natsu found himself unable to read, only that the last name was something like 'Senju'. The rest he could read and it told a tale about a village long ago that he once protected and ruled with a power that made him invincible. That last part had gotten Natsu's attention as he dreamed of beating some kind of boy with black hair and a redheaded girl that wore armor.

Reading more, Natsu found a list that went like so;

Mokuton: Mokujin no Jutsu (Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu)

Moku Bunshin no Jutsu (Wood Clone Technique)

Mokuton: Mokuryū no Jutsu (Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique)

Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu (Wood Release: Cutting Technique)

Chōjō Kebutsu (Summit Enlightenment)

Mokuton: Hotei no Jutsu (Wood Release: Laughing Buddha Technique)

Mokuton: Kajukai Kōrin (Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom)

Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan (Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence)

Mokuton: Hōbi no Jutsu (Wood Release: Wood Expulsion Jutsu)

And each one of these had very detailed instructions on how to use them. But it wasn't enough for Natsu. "How am I supposed to use this scroll…WHEN ALL I CAN DO IS CREATE FIRE AND WRECK STUFF!?" Natsu then raised his arm and struck the earth in a temper tantrum that surprisingly caused a crater in the earth and sent a shock wave into all directions. Natsu noticed this just in time to see it caused the egg he found to be sent into the air, only to fall fast to the ground! "NO!"

Natsu then saw to his shock that his hand suddenly grew a complete trees amount of wood that formed an extended arm and oversized hand that caught the egg expertly! Now Natsu was speechless and just slowly retract his wooden arm to put the egg back on the ground. "Just what happened to me?" After what felt like forever, Natsu finally spoke and decided to read more of the scroll.

"…whoa." By the sound of that, Natsu is going to be busy for the next while. But not he will know when to come back to the guild.

XXXXX

A couple of months had passed and Natsu still hadn't returned to the guild hall that was rustic in design with a sigh in big letters that said 'FAIRY TAIL'.

"Where is that idiot!?"

"Shut up Gray! We heard that already. A thousand times!"

"Yeah!? And what of it Erza?" Gray was a boy whose most prominent feature is his spiky black-colored hair. He has dark blue eyes, and his body is toned and muscular. And he happens to be almost nude! That got him hit by an 'Erza'.

Erza is a young woman with long, scarlet hair and brown eyes. She lost her right eye as a child and now has an artificial one. She was wearing mostly armor over her shirts. "We are tired of it!"

"Don't tell me that you are not angry that the idiot is trying to avoid you!? He always gets you angry and now he is hiding like a coward!" Gray shouted in childish defiance that died when Erza was suddenly covered in a demonic aura.

"Like you are no better than a coward and that you don't get me angry too. And he doesn't accuse others of lying when they share their life story so how are you better than that!?" Erza shouted and Gray couldn't speak before fainting.

"Maybe we did hurt his feelings." One of the unnamed guild members brought up and silence followed almost instantly. "I mean, we did call him a liar when he had no family or friends or any home to live in. We even had the nerve to laugh at him, especially when he is beaten for any reason."

No one said another word and then sniffles and tears were the first to be heard and seen respectably. It was like the cheeriness of the guild died without Natsu around to keep the flame going. "I never thought that we made Natsu feel unwelcome. I just wanted to make him a smart boy and tough enough to take anything. I thought that I was helping him."

No one could say a word and only watch Erza talk to herself like this until she went to sitting in the middle of the guild hall, whispering so low that it will take a rabbit to hear her now. Maybe this proves that Fairy Tail will learn not to laugh at anyone's misery and sadness.

XXXXX

It is now the year X780,

Two years had passed since the Fairy Tail Guild realized what they done, they waited. And waited for Natsu to come back so they can start treating him in the right way that they meant to do for the entire first year that Natsu had been part of the guild. "I can't believe it. Have we really treated Natsu that bad? That even after two years, he didn't want to come back?"

"I'm sorry Lisanna but we still haven't found the brat." An old man, sitting on the bar counter, said with a sad tone. Lisanna is shown as a young petite girl with short, white hair and blue eyes. Lisanna is wearing a simple, pink dress paired with dark red shoes.

"It's okay Master Makarov." Makarov is an extremely short, elderly man. He has black eyes and is growing bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He also has a thick white mustache. He has a black stamp of the Fairy Tail guild mark that covers his entire chest area. He is shown dressing in a casual manner, with an attire consisting of a white shirt with a black Fairy Tail stamp in the middle under an orange hoodie. His attire was completed with matching orange shorts and an orange and blue striped jester hat.

"How it is okay if my little sister is falling behind in her training!?" Both Lisanna and Makarov flinched at the volume of a woman's voice that just happened to not be Erza this time. It was Lisanna's older sister, Mirajane. Mirajane is a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest; her hairstyle's most distinctive trait is a short, upward ponytail obtained by gathering and tying the hair covering her forehead.

Mirajane is wearing a gothic-looking, overly revealing outfit matching the tomboyish personality she had at the time. She donned a dark, skimpy sleeveless shirt adorned with some light curved motifs on the chest, a pair of leather shorts held up by a studded belt with a demonic-looking buckle and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels, each bearing a skull adorned by a flower on their upper front parts. She also sported a bracelet shaped like a demonic arm around her right wrist, a ring on the same hand's middle finger, and dark nail polish. She didn't have her front ponytail, instead letting a large strand cover her forehead freely, and had most of her hair tied in a high, larger ponytail on the back of her head by a massive dark ribbon.

"Oh let it go witch girl. You had been at this for two years too long." Erza had a rivalry of her own since Mirajane does match her in a lot of factors; strength, magical power and scariness when in a foul mood. Everyone could see that Natsu doesn't take any example for them since they have a hypocritical habit of scolding Natsu for his 'rivalry fights' proving him immature.

"You want a piece of me tin can!?" Mirajane shouted, setting off yet another brawl that reminded a certain raven haired stripper of how he always bullied and aggressed Natsu into fighting with him, just the two girls going at it.

But it wasn't exhaustion or a frustrated guild master that stopped the brawl. It was the sound of the two double doors of the guild hall opening. And that always met visitors, guild members or not, guest or not. But this visitor was not just any guild member and he was certainly not just a guest. "Hey guys. Guess who is back." It was Natsu Dragneel, in the flesh!

Everyone was shocked to this new and improved Natsu in all his badass glory. Over his semi-naked chest silver jacket that somehow went with his scarf perfectly. The shorts he was wearing had a black belt keeping it together and came with some kind of needles and daggers. The gloves on his hands seemed to be made with steel knuckling. His boots were replaced with black ones that looked like there is some kind of razor blades at the heel. And on his back were a pair of large and curved blades.

Then there was the biggest change. A little blue cat was sleeping on Natsu's shoulder, using his tail to hold onto his spot. As fi the cute site of a baby cat sleeping without a care in the world wasn't cute enough, the silent snoring and occasional wipe of the face had nearly sent the girls into screaming 'cute'.

And, in all this shock, "You flame head idiot! You can't just be gone for two years! Not while trying to avoid this!" Gray had received anger that he hadn't felt in all the time that Natsu had been away. "Ice Make: Lance!"

"GRAY!" The guild cried out but Natsu wasn't afraid and merely went for one of his curved swords. With a simple swipe, Natsu had sliced and evaporated the ice lances! But Gray was too angry to be halted in his track and followed blind instincts to switch from magic to brute force. All in a while that Natsu had placed that same sword on his back again.

"Gray, I don't have time for this." Natsu sighed for the umpteenth time but the poor raven-haired boy just won't listen to reason. Natsu found significantly hard to dodge Gray's punches without harming to the least waking up his cat companion. "I. Said. I. Have. No. Time…" Natsu dragged out each word until Gray was about to hit Natsu in the face. "FOR THIS!"

Gray groaned loudly in pain as he felt a giant hand hold him place. "Okay gramps, I get now let me go!" But when Natsu forced Gray to look back somehow, the latter saw that the guild master hadn't even moved a muscle, the least on of his hands with his Titan Magic. Then Natsu did the same but forced Gray to look down on the floor of the guild hall. "What the!?"

"I said that I don't have time with small fry. You don't want to make me angry Gray. I always go all out when I am angry. So you won't like it when I am angry." Natsu said, leaving Gray stuck there; stuck in the wooden grip that Natsu had constructed from the floor!

End of Chapter 1.

*I got this idea from DestinyArmor's 'Bloodline Limit' story that is actually mostly based off Fairy Tail, despite it having an element that is purely from the Naruto Manga. But instead of just having Natsu's control over forests, trees and all made of wood, I thought to make this similar to his main form of magic.

I felt to make this power more compatible with Natsu as a Dragon Slayer that was granted a second Dragon Slayer Magic. This idea was about how in the Naruto Manga, the Wood Release bloodline is a very dangerous power; it can easily consume the user that gained it through artificial means and it has happened before.

This will similar to the Great Tree Arc magic that Azuma uses but the difference is that Natsu's magic over wood won't turn him into a tree if misused and that Natsu can't use expositive impacts like Azuma can. Instead, Natsu can use his trees, branches and wood constructs like those in Naruto to drain other mages of this magical power. When he does this, Natsu can also tap into this drained energy to replenish his own or send it back as pure magic impacts strong enough to crack earth faces easily and take out a medium sized army in one go.

This is how I am going to describe Natsu's Forest Dragon Slayer magic and in later chapters, I will show how Natsu is going to use both his dragon slayer magic together and at once. Stay tuned and enjoy!*

*On a side note, i thought hard on the new title for this story and i hope that it will stick better than the first. hope to not do this again. Enjoy it still!*
