Hello my FF peeps and welcome to Who am I.
My first Naruto story in years.
I hope I still got it.
I had like a million ideas and thanks to a little help form Lanky, I finally narrowed down to several ideas that I deemed the most unique and original to use in a storyline.
I hope you guys will like it, I know I'm new to this section so I will try my best.
So, just to let you guys know, Totomaru never existed in my fic. He graciously stepped aside to let Naruto take his place, lmfao. As for the pairing, I'm kind of stuck between a few girls but I'll see where it goes and I'm sure it'll pop out on me.
So without further ado
The first chapter of Who am I.
And remember to review your waiter!
Chapter 1 - My name is Naruto
It was a dark day for Fairy Tail.
Not only their guild was half destroyed by Phantom Lord's own dragon slayer, he had also attacked Shadow gear. Three of their own nakama, Jet, Droy, and their leader Levi were beaten and pinned to a massive tree with the Phantom Lord's symbol on her stomach.
This act alone managed to enrage the peaceful guild leader of Fairy Tail, Makarov and the rest of the guild into attacking Phantom Lord despite the rules on light guilds not attacking each other. One by one, things started to fall apart and go wrong for Fairy Tail. Makarov was left to near death by a cheap shot from one of the Elemental Four, Aria and Erza was badly hurt protecting the guild from a powerful blast from Phantom Lord's Jupiter cannon.
Mystogan could not be found.
Laxus refused to help.
Only one could stand up to Master Jose Poria and his equally powerful guild, Phantom Lord and save the day.
...
...
...
It just wasn't meant to be saved by a certain pink haired dragon slayer.
"KU-HAAH! It's not budging an inch!" Natsu exclaimed as he repeatedly stomped and punched the Jupiter cannon that just shot a huge magic blast at his guild, but it was stopped by one of his closest friends, Erza.
He needed to stop this thing from hurting anyone else important to him, he needed to protect his guild.
"Maybe we have to break it from inside." Happy suggested. Natsu grinned at his cat friend and nodded in agreement.
"All right, let's go!" Natsu shouted as he jumped off the cannon and swung himself inside the barrel.
"It's pretty small in here." Happy whispered nervously.
"I KNOOOOOWWWW!" Natsu was freaking out inside the barrel; crawling like a mad man trying to make his way out of the magical gun.
"We're out." Happy stated as they stood on the back edge of the Jupiter cannon. They stared out in amazement at the large lacryma in the middle of the giant room.
"Wha...What's this!" Natsu shouted.
"It looks like a lacryma crystal that gathers magic power."
"I've never seen one this big before!"
"The Jupiter cannon is a weapon that emits compressed magic power instead of bullets." Happy explained to Natsu who just looked at him with question marks over his head.
"I'm not going to pretend to understand that but all we have to do is break it, right?" Natsu stated with a fist clenched in front of him, ready to destroy the lacryma crystal.
The voice that answered him though, wasn't Happy's or anyone else he knew for that matter.
"I'm sorry...but I cannot...let you do that."
"A guard?" Happy shouted as Natsu charged in at the shadow below them.
"Who cares! We'll just get rid of anyone who gets in our way!" Natsu cocked back a fist, covering in flames.
"I won't let you.." The guard whispered in regret.
"I ain't got no time! Get out of the way!" Natsu yelled out before his own flame covered fist punched him right in the face. "GAAH!"
"Natsu! What are you doing!" Happy looked at his best friend in worry as Natsu hit himself to the floor.
"I don't know...my body moved on its own." Natsu raised himself to his hands and knees. He looked up and took in the appearance of the guard for the first time.
His spiky yellow hair reminded him of his own rosy hair but the sides of the blonde's hair was tied back in a pony tail, leaving the top of his hair wild and free. He had a lean, tan face with three lines that looked like whiskers on his cheeks. He was wearing a black fishnet t-shirt with a long orange, sleeveless Gi that was tied off at the waist with a black sash but reached down to his knees in a open flow. His pants were black with matching sandal shoes that reached up to his ankles.
The sword at his side however, caught Natsu's attention. It was a simple, small katana with a orange wrapped handle but it somehow screamed out to Natsu of this guy's skills with the blade. On his right forearm had a tattoo of two black rings that wrapped around it and on the inside of his left forearm was a orange Phantom Lord symbol tattoo.
This guy was no ordinary mage, Natsu knew that for a fact in his experience of fighting tough mages.
But what unnerved him the most was his deep blue eyes, he had a lot of friends in Fairy Tail who had blue eyes but this mage's eyes told unimaginable stories to Natsu.
"I'm sorry...but you're the one...getting in our way."
"Who, who are you?" Natsu raised himself to his feet, ready to fight once more.
The blonde mage just blink before smiling at Natsu with a genuine smile.
"My name...is Naruto, the Orenji Enkou of Phantom Lord...dattebayo."
"The Orange Flame ? One of the Elemental Four?" Happy stated in shock.
Naruto nodded politely.
"And the strongest of them all. So please, walk away and save yourselves...because I won't let you destroy Master Jose's dream. I don't want to...have to hurt you" Naruto confessed.
"You seem like a decent guy." Natsu's eyes steeled for a moment. "Why would you let a bastard like him do this to innocent people? All of this just because of jealously and money."
"Because..." Naruto closed his eyes and lowered his head. "I owe him my life."
Jose Poria was in a suprising good mood coming from one of his sub divisions of his guild, Phantom Lord. He had added another powerful mage to his guild, a user of Iron Dragon Slayer magic of all things! He was young, yes but his potential was unlimited. He passed Jose's test and beaten nearly all of his current mages including his strongest, Aria. He gladly made the boy a S class mage and bumped down Aria from the ace of Phantom Lord.
He was considering making a special group of his S class mages anyways, something that represented power. Power like the elements of this world, the very ones that powered spells like Abyss Break. Yes...he had already Aria, who was a master of his own type of Air magic and Sol, who had great power over Earth magic. He just needed two more mages who had fire and water magic powerful enough to be S class.
It would go well with his plans of making his mobile guild headquarters even more powerful when he finished building the giant mage.
He looked out of his magic carriage that was being driven by two of his personal mage servants and sighed. Despite all these good things happening to his guild, his rival Fairy Tail was further increasing power if what he had been hearing was true. Makarov already had one fo the most powerful mages he had ever seen, Gildarts Clive and now he added his own dragon slayer to his guild? It was bad enough both he and Makarov were in the Ten Wizard Saints, now his guild was slowly earning a reputation and standing close his own.
Jose couldn't stand it. He needed more. More power, more money, more ma...
BOOM!
Massive winds blew toward the magic carriage, causing it to roll over several times before stopping. Jose slowly pulled himself out of the now broken carriage and looked up at the giant storm forming in the sky. It almost looked like a hurricane in the sky, dark clouds swirling around as a giant eye opened up much to his amazement. This was no ordinary storm. He could feel the power behind it, this wasn't a natural occurence.
Something or someone was making this storm happen.
Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the earth in a massive shock. Jose had to use his darkness magic to protect himself from the shockwave coming from the drop site. His two servants however had no such power and was thrown far back into the forest with the force of the wave.
"My God! Such power!" Jose exclaimed to himself as he held himself in place with his magic seal blocking the shockwave. Soon, the wave died down and the storm disappeared. The sky was still covered in dark clouds and rain was now falling down to the Earthland. Jose released his shield and then from nowhere, he could feel a massive source of magic coming from the site where the lightning struck the ground.
"Such power!" Jose whispered loudly as he took off toward the source. In a matter of seconds, he arrived and gasped in shock.
It was a huge crater left in the bolt of lightning's wake. Fire burned around the crater in lines, burning strong even though rain continued to fall. But the size of the crater and the powerful flames weren't what caught his attention, it was the small, naked child in the center of all. Now, Jose Poria was not known for his kindness, mercy, or any of those weak emotions that he felt held back a mage from his full potential.
But even he couldn't ignore such a sight without feeling pity in his cold, dark heart.
He leapt over the flames and into the crater, landing right before the child and knelt down to it. It was a boy, no older than his newest mage, Gajeel Redfox who was twelve years old and covered in soot and ash.
But what was surprising was the fact the source of the power came from this boy. Jose didn't noticed it at first, but after a few moments he noticed the slow, breathing of the boy was affecting the flames surrounding them. Everytime he breathed in, the flames lowered and everytime he exhaled, the flames increased in size. It was some type of fire magic that this boy was giving off even when he was unconscious!
"Amazing." Jose muttered to himself before slowly shaking the boy. "Boy, wake up."
The child's eyes slowly fluttered opened as he stared up at the strange looking man hovering above him.
"Who...who are...you." The boy whispered.
'The boy's speech seems to be damaged and slowed in a way. It was the only sign that he's been hurt, he doesn't have a mark on him besides the ashes.' Jose thought to himself.
"I'm Jose Poria, the most powerful mage in Fiore and master of Phantom Lord." Jose couldn't help but state his proud standing, though being the most powerful mage was bending the truth a little.
"Who are you, my boy?" He asked the blonde child in return.
The boy's eyes blinked as his eyebrows crinkled in confusion.
"I...do not know. I cannot remember."
'The impact must have taken away his memories.' Jose smiled evilly at the thoughts running through his head, his plans forming. 'Perfect.'
"Do you at least know your name? I can't keep calling you boy." Jose tried to smile as fatherly as he could. He wasn't very familiar with the act but if he were to groom and train this boy into becoming the most powerful mage under his control, he needed to show him...kindness.
The boy blinked once more as his eyes widen in acknowledgement.
"Naruto...my name...is Naruto." He whispered. "Did...did you save...me?"
Jose grinned madly at the first chance to insert himself in the boy's mind as he took off his cape and wrapped it around the boy as he stood him up slowly.
"Of course, Naruto. I rescued you from this horrible storm. You seem to be alone, why not come with me? I have a guild you could call home, amazing food to eat and the finest threads to clothe you."
Naruto looked at the dark skinned man in amazement at his offer. He couldn't remember anything from his past but somehow, he knew this was the first time anyone's ever offered him something like this.
"Really? Can you...make me...a mage too? Like...you?" He didn't know what a mage was but if this man saved him because he was a powerful mage, he wanted to become one too.
Jose nodded as he lead the boy out of the crater, taking note of the fact the flames seemed to part for them, making a path for them to the top.
"Of course, my boy. I will teach you everything I know. It's my dream to have the most powerful guild in Fiore. I can tell you have great strength, Naruto. Will you help me?"
Naruto nodded feveriously.
"Yes...I will...dattebayo!"
Jose raised an eyebrow at the boy's mannerism. It must have been a habit he had before he lost his memory.
"Thank you, Naruto. Let's go home." Jose smiled at his new weapon, knowing the future of his guild was that much brighter. He found the edge he needed to top Fairy Tail as the most powerful guild.
"Home...okay." Naruto smiled at his savior as they made their way out of the giant hole.
"Master Jose."
Naruto raised his head once more and opened his eyes. A large orange, magic seal with a spiral in the middle of it appeared below his feet while a orange aura of magic surrounded him in a display of power.
"Once again...I'm sorry...I cannot let you...destroy Master Jose's dream." Naruto stated as Natsu nodded in understanding and covered his fists in flames.
"Then let's do this." Natsu grinned.
Naruto smiled in returned and raised his hand at him, bending his fingers in a gesturing way.
"Then...come and bring it."
I hope you guys enjoyed this.

I hopw this works out, lol.
Until next time.
Stay Awesome.
