Hello all! This is my first story and I don't expect it to be without fault, so if you could review and tell me what I did well and what I didn't do well and how to improve that would be great. Thank you, Led Floyd.

"Dialogue"

'Thoughts'

"Kyuubi"

It had been many years since the Forth Great Shinobi War had ended, Naruto had learnt to get along with the Kyuubi (Kurama) as well as obtaining the powers of the other tailed beasts that they presented him during his fight with Tobi.

However it had not all been a cake walk. Many lives were lost along the way. Naruto had had to watch his sensei die in front of him, protecting him from a particularly nasty jutsu. Many of his closest friends had also died during the war.

When the war was finally over, few of the remaining rookie nine were left. All that were left was himself, Shikamaru, Lee and Shino. The rest of the nine including Gai's team had perished, including Saskue, which Naruto himself had killed after Saskue had killed Sakura, tricking her to believe he was good again before pushing his arm through her chest with a Chidori.

The final battle between them had been bloody. Naruto had learned from the war that not everyone can be saved and trying to save Saskue only served to harm others more. It was because of this fact Naruto had gone all out on Saskue. The area of the battle became torn and ruined by vast explosions caused by jutsu after jutsu.

Once Saskue was defeated and the war was over it still didn't get much better for Naruto. Due to the tailed beast powers, affinity with Nature chakra and his Uzumaki heritage, Naruto was unable to die of old age and had to watch the rest of his friends grow old and die. The immense tailed beast chakra healed most wounds he came across without much difficulty, as such, making him pretty much immortal not only in life but in battle too. Naruto had achieved what Orochimaru, Tobi and others before him had failed to achieve before, True Immortality.

Naruto's dream of peace passed on by his master, Jiraiya, was still his goal, and it was achieved after the war as all the villages had banded together. However, although he stopped most people from causing hatred to others, a divide soon appeared many hundreds of years after the war. A new land had been discovered far to the west, and now that the Elemental Nations were not distracted by fighting each other, people were able to settle there and create a new region. As people began to spread over this new land, they began to think of themselves as being different to that of the Elemental Nations. They practised different techniques, different methods of fighting, as well as different cultures and religions. It was not long before they declared independence from the Elemental nations and a war ensued. The war took 60 years before the Ninja and their way was wiped out. The new form of techniques these people used, they called magic.

Naruto had been at the head of the ninjas during the war against the mages and due to sheer numbers and the lack of skill the ninjas of that generation had because of prolonged peace, the Elemental Nations had been utterly crushed. Naruto had taken to leaving his land and travelling around the known world keeping a disguise up until all who knew him died.

Although it may not be his people who he walked amongst anymore, Naruto kept his promise to his teacher and was constantly trying to 'remove' troublemakers to prevent a chain of hatred from forming. That had happened thousands of years ago, it was hard to keep count of the years when they meant very little to you.

It was around ten O'clock when Naruto left the inn he was currently staying at on the outskirts of Magnolia. He walked out of the inn onto the street.

Naruto looked about 19 to 20 years old, his hair had become longer, much like his father's, as did his face that had become more shaped and less rounded as it had been when he was 16. His clothing was much like that of a jounin, black trousers, green flak jacket, and the typical Uzumaki spiral sewn onto his right arm and back.

'Right,' he thought to himself, 'It's about time I looked for Fairy Tail. I hope it's still here. God this place looks different to what it looked like 300 years ago.'

Naruto continued to walk further down the road keeping his eyes peeled for any signs of Fairy Tail. "Come on, it can't be that hard to find the guild in this town" he muttered to no one in particular. It was then when he felt a tap on his shoulder that he turned round and saw a woman in her early twenties standing behind him. "Sorry," she said, "I couldn't help but over hear that you were looking for a guild." She said politely.

"Ah yes...wait was I speaking out loud?" Naruto asked, "God I'm starting to lose it a little bit ya know?" The woman smiled, "Yes you were, but anyway the only guild around here is Fairy Tail, is that the one you were looking for?"

"Yeah that's it. Would you mind telling me where it is? I haven't been here in a while you see." Naruto said, "Well you're in luck, I'm on my way there anyway so feel free to tag along."

"Thanks a lot! I was starting to get fed up of searching around for it." Naruto replied.

"So," The woman asked, "what brings you to Fairy Tail? It's not often we get visitors outside of the guild unless they want a job done."

"You're in Fairy Tail?" Naruto shouted out, "That means you're a mage then?" he asked. "Yes I'm just on my way back from doing a little early morning shopping before everyone starts drinking in the bar." She said facing Naruto. "So what was it you wanted with us?"

"Well I was hoping I could join the guild, you know so I can take jobs on as I'm pretty tight for cash." Said Naruto, "Is it hard to get in?" he continued, "Well it depends on what the master thinks of you," she said, "We're almost there now so you can ask him yourself."

It wasn't long before Naruto and the woman were at the doors of Fairy Tail and they could already hear the noise of a fight going on from inside. "Wow it seems a bit noisy inside..." Naruto said, "Yes well Its usually that way anyway, just be careful you don't end up being dragged into one of their fights, they get a little carried away sometimes." The door flew open as a guy around 17 wearing nothing but boxers, flew out onto the step in front of Naruto. "Natsu! I'm going to kill you, you pink haired bastard!" he yelled, running back in through the doors. "Ok thanks for the warning." Naruto said nervously looking at the guild. "By the way, I never got your name." He said, "Oh sorry, my name is Mirajane Strauss." She said offering out her hand, "Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto" he replied shaking her hand.

Entering the guild and keeping quietly to the side of the room Naruto followed Mirajane to the bar where she pointed out an old man sitting on the bar drinking. "That's Makarov, the guild master." She said, "If you want to join ask him." She smiled, "Good luck! This is a nice guild so if you get in, I'm sure you will enjoy it, oh and don't worry about the fighting, they're all ok really." Naruto looked at her and nodded his thanks. He walked over to the old man on the bar and stood right in front of him.

"Hey old man I want to join the guild!" Naruto shouted at the old man trying to make his voice heard over the still continuing fight just behind them. "Eh? You think you got what it takes o be a Fairy Tail mage then?" Makarov asked, "Damn right I do! I wouldn't be here asking ya otherwise!" Naruto replied, a look of determination in his eyes. "Alright come with me to my office and I'll see what you're made of."

Naruto followed the old man up the stairs and through a door leading to his office. "Take a seat here boy." He pointed to a chair opposite his desk. Naruto sat down as did Makarov at his own desk. "So, let's get on with it. What's your name and what's your reason for wanting to join Fairy Tail?" He asked Naruto eyes locked on to his, "The name is Uzumaki Naruto, and to be honest I want to join as I have nowhere else to really go. I've heard that Fairy Tail is a good guild where everyone has a lot of fun and each mage is like a family member to one another." Naruto continued as he looked back at the old mage, "It's been a while since I have had any fun, and just by walking in, I know this place is right for me." Makarov stared at Naruto for a moment longer before replying, "I think you'll find Fairy Tail to your tastes. Each individual here has their own story to tell as well as their own reason for joining the guild. I am sure you have a story to tell, I can see it in your eyes. You've got the thousand yard stare about you. I can tell you are a true fighter, one that does not leave his comrades to die. And in my eyes that's good enough for me to let you join the guild." Naruto smirked to himself, he couldn't help it, it had been to long since he was part of something and boredom slash loneliness had got him pumped up for this. "However," Makarov continued, "I have yet to see or hear anything about your abilities and would like to have a quick demonstration of your skills. Don't worry about it now, I'll have someone to take you on a mission with them."

"Got it!" Naruto said as he leaped up from his chair, "I won't let you down you can count on that!"

"Alright, good to hear that. I suppose we should tell the rest of the guild we have a new member. Follow me back to the bar." Naruto followed Makarov back to the rest of the guild where the fighting had died down slightly. All that was left was Natsu and Grey arguing with each other. "Ok everyone!" Makarov began, "I'd like you to give a warm welcome to our latest guild member, Uzumaki Naruto!" They cheered and raised a mug of ale to their newest member, downed their pint and continued at what they were doing. Mirajane walked over to Naruto with a smile on her face. "Glad you could make it in I was sure you would anyway, you had the right personality." Makarov looked towards the girl, "As I'm sure you're aware Mirajane, Naruto has still not shown us what he has to offer to the guild in terms of power and skill and I would appreciate it if you could assign him a mission with one or two of the other guild members. Perhaps Erza and Grey would be a good choice for him to go on a mission with since they're both quite level headed when Natsu is not around." He said with a small smile on his face, "Ok master I'll sort out a job for them to do. Erza should be back from her training soon." Mirajane said, "There's a job here to wipe out a bandit camp that has been robbing a few farmers north east of here. It pays quite well, 120,000 jewels. That would mean you will able to get yourself a cheap apartment to stay in while you do your jobs Naruto."

"That job sounds good enough for me. When can I get started?" Naruto asked, "Grey!" Makarov shouted, "Go find Erza and tell her to come here. I have a job for you both." Grey looked shocked and scared as the thought of Erza made him tremble. "Haha Grey! You're gonna die!" Natsu laughed, earning a smack on the head from Grey. "As soon as Erza gets back then you can start your job Naruto." the old man said, "Speaking of which she's here already." Naruto turned round to see a woman around the same age as Mirajane walking up to Makarov. "Erza, this is Naruto, our newest member of the guild." Makarov said wasting no time. "Although he is a member, I would like you and Grey to clear out a bandit camp towards the north east to test his ability so we can see as to what kind of mage he is."

"Of course Master and welcome to Fairy Tail Naruto." She said rather sternly. "Thanks Erza, when do we leave?" he asked, "We'll go now. Grey," she called to the ice mage, "we're leaving now, get your clothes on."

"AHH! How the hell did my clothes come off!" Grey yelled. "Does this always happen to him?" Naruto quietly said out of earshot to Mirajane, she turned to him and laughed slightly, "That's the best thing about Fairy Tail, everyone has their own odd little quirks about them!"

A/N: Well here is the first chapter. I'm not too sure how good it is so just pass that on to me in the reviews. I am open to taking in ideas that I can as the story progresses although I already know whereabouts this story is going.

I'll try get the next one up soon, have fun! Led Floyd.
