Disclaimer: I do not own any of the anime/manga/movies/etc. that I write about; otherwise I would be a millionaire NOT writing on fanfiction publishing my own ideas.
Here's another story that I've been wanting to see in Naruto/Fairy Tail stories but rarely, if ever, see. Ones where he's a Celestial Spirit mage for the Tailed Beasts! You'd also think there'd be more of those out there but that is not the case. So here's my proposal: Naruto was a child looking for adventure when he stumbles upon a young Natsu, shortly after Igneel left him. They decide to join the guild Fairy Tail because that is the guild Naruto's parents (who died sometime before Naruto met Natsu) where a part of. Naruto is a Celestial Spirit mage who inherited the keys of the Tailed Beast Plain. There are 9 of them and the strengths of the spirits vary from A class to Zeref Demon strength. Naruto and the rest of the Fairy Tail gang become fast friends and thanks in part to his talent in both spirit magic, being able to use wind and chain magic, and having knowledge in Jutsu Shiki that his father dabbled in, becomes S-class the year before canon starts and has to leave on a three month mission shortly before Natsu meets Lucy. Naruto's personality comes off as a little bipolar, due to his interactions with the different personalities he encounters and his empathic abilities cause him to relate to all of them.
The idea for this story takes place during the Phantom Lord Arc where Naruto has just completed his mission. As far as pairings go, I was thinking Lucy and then Lisanna can pair with Natsu when she returns. Honestly I'm surprised not many stories have plots like this because I'd figure people would be all over this idea.
Let me know if you'd be interested or if you know someone who may be interested please! Here is a small idea for a prologue to appease the masses. Again, these stories are challenges, and if no one takes the idea in one year's time, I may have to write it myself because I really want to see this done in some way. For now though, I'm hoping an author with way more talent than myself when it comes to writing stories would give it a shot. Reviews and PMs are welcome and encouraged, while flames will be used to burn witches. If you want to do this story, please contact me and we can iron out the details.
Thanks and enjoy the sample prologue!
Prologue
The entire guild of Fairy Tail watched in horror. Not even a day had passed since their rival guild, Phantom Lord, had launched an assault on them in both an attempt to capture their newest member, Lucy Heartfellia, and also to take out the competition for the title of "strongest guild" in Fiore. Their master was in a coma, their building was crippled, and finally, Phantom Lord's moving castle was on the warpath to finish off the wounded guild! Erza, one of their most powerful mages, was weakened when she blocked the blast aimed at the guild members from the castles main weapon, the Jupiter Canon. Things were looking dire indeed.
"Gya Ha Ha Ha!" Laughed Phantom's guild master, Jose Porla, "Makarov and now Erza; both have been incapacitated."
Erza opened her eyes and turned her head to glare at Phantom.
"You have no chance for victory now. Hand over Lucy Heartfilia. Right. Now." Jose demanded and you could practically hear his sneer.
"You have to be kidding!" Alzac shouted.
"There isn't a Guild that would present a member to an enemy!" Bisca added.
"Lucy is our comrade!" Macao roared.
"That's right!" The rest of Fairy Tail chimed in.
It was at that point Erza found her voice once more.
"WE'D RATHER DIE THEN SELL OUT OUR COMRADES!" She shouted in rage.
'Everyone,' Lucy thought tearfully as she clasped her hands tightly in front of her as if in prayer.
"Oi~! What's all the commotion? I'm gone for a couple months and this is what I come home to?" said a new voice loudly over the area, causing all of the people to look at its source. Standing near the entrance to Fairy Tail's damaged building was a young man who looked around Lucy's age leaned casually, looking over the confrontation happening in front of him with a bemused expression.
The boy had spiky blond hair and sapphire blue eyes, as well as whisker-like birthmarks on both of his cheeks. The boy was around Gray's height and wore a burnt orange hoodie with black pants and sandal's similar to Natsu's on his feet. He also had what appeared to be a chain wrapped around his waist like a belt. What caught Lucy's attention though was the key ring the boy was lazily twirling in his fingers with nine burnt red keys jingling all the while.
'He's a Celestial Spirit mage too!' she thought in shock, though she didn't recognize any of the keys he had.
"NARUTO!" came a shout from many of the mages present. The majority of the expressions were shock, relief, and of happiness.
"We're saved!" one of the mages shouted out.
"Phantom's got no chance now!" another agreed.
Similar declarations were made and Lucy, in confusion, turned towards Mira who was nearest her. "Who is that guy?" she asked Fairy Tail's barkeep in confusion.
Mira smiled at the confused girl and explained, "That is Naruto Uzumaki. He's one of our top mages who became a member around the same time Natsu joined. He just became an S-Class last year and was off on a long term mission for the last several months, which is why you haven't seen him around."
Lucy nodded at the explanation when she heard the newly arrived S-Class talking as he walked casually towards the opposing guild hall. "Geez, you guys sure get into the biggest of messes, huh? I mean, what'd you do to tick Phantom Lord of all groups off?" Naruto asked lightly while never keeping his eyes off the menacing walking castle. He reached next to where Erza was gaining her strength back after deflecting the Jupiter Canon's blast earlier. The whiskered mage looked at his fellow guild mate with a thoughtful frown on his face before he gave her a grin and leaned down to help Erza up.
"You look like crap Red," he said cheerfully to the redhead, causing her to gain a tick mark on her forehead, before his expression softened and he said in a much warmer tone, "But seriously, I saw what you did there. Great job on protecting the guild, but next time try finding a way that won't put you at risk as well, okay?"
Erza's hard expression softened as well and she gave a small grin to her guild mate before muttering, "It's good to see you to, you blond idiot."
The reunion was cut short when they heard Jose laughing over the intercom and saying in an obnoxious voice, "Ha! One fairy, two fairies, it doesn't matter! You all now have fourteen minutes to surrender before I decide to wipe you all of the face of the planet!"
Naruto turned and faced the colossal building with a hard look on his face. "Listen hear, you schmuck," he said in a low, growling voice that was a big difference to his earlier upbeat tone, "You can pick on us, insult us, and even spit on us and we'll just laugh it off. But no one, and I mean no one, HURTS OUR FAMILY!" he roared out at the end before firmly griping one of the keys, which Lucy noticed the teeth of the key was in the Roman Numeral for 9, and shouted out, " Open, Gate of the Nine Tails: Kurama!"
A flash of light surrounded the key and when it faded, a large fox was sitting in front of Naruto. This was no ordinary fox, however. Its fur was a burnt orange color save for the black fur surrounding his eyes, which were blood red and slits for pupils. The fox's torso and arms were almost human like and he had long ears resting on top of his head. Lastly, the most distinguishing feature of the human-sized fox was the nine swishing tails extending from his spine.
"Kurama!" Naruto barked in a commanding tone, "The walking castle contains enemies of Fairy Tail. I need your help in taking them down. Now let's move!" Naruto shouted out while getting into a dramatic pose.
"Don't wanna," the fox said with a lazy yawn, causing Naruto to stumble forward and fall flat on his face.
"What the crap, Kurama!" Naruto shouted as he leapt to his feet and glared at the Celestial Spirit, a large tick mark on his head.
"You woke me from a nice nap. Fix your own stupid problems," Kurama quipped while lazily stretching his back out and lying on the road in order to fall back to sleep.
"WAKE UP YOU LAZY FURBALL!" Naruto screamed before he jumped into the air and did an elbow drop on the fox's unprotected back. "Punishing Elbow!" Naruto called out as Kurama yelped in pain.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR, YOU USELESS BRAT?!" Kurama roared out at his summoner looking equally ticked off.
"For being a lazy good for nothing, you stupid fox!"
"Shut up you chibi mage!"
"Dirty fleabag!"
"Whiskered moron!"
"Overgrown plushie!"
"What the hell did you just call me?!"
"You heard me!"
The duo's argument was cut short as Jose gave another bout of laughter over the intercoms of his fortress. "Gya ha ha! Is this the best you Fairy Flies got? A teenage brat and his overgrown rabbit!?"
Time seemed to freeze at this last comment and a heavy pressure started to ooze off of Kurama. "…What did you just call me?" the fox said in a surprisingly quiet voice, despite the bloodlust radiating off of him.
Jose, being the ignorant douche that he is, poured gasoline on the fire by stating in a condescending voice, "Oh, so the Fairy's pet bunny has something to say? Why don't you hop away from hear little rabbit before I make you into road kill!"
"…Now that idiot's done it," Naruto said smugly while confidently crossing his arms over his chest.
Suddenly, a huge plume of smoke engulfed the area, blocking everyone's vision. When the smoke cloud cleared, the mages were staring bug-eyed at what they were witnessing. Kurama stood much, much taller than before. He was nearly head and shoulders above the highest point of Phantom Lord's mobile fortress, and was easily the biggest thing in the area.
"NOBODY," Kurama roared in a much louder, demonic sounding voice, "CALLS ME A RABBIT!"
Despite the situation, many of the Fairy Tail mages couldn't help but sweatdrop and think, 'That's what he's so angry about?'
Unseen by the people on the ground, Jose went from looking smug to looking like he was constipated with his face turning the color of sour milk and his eyes becoming as wide as baseballs. Turning to one of the operators of the fortress near him, he shouted out in a panic, "FIRE THE JUPITER CANON, DO IT NOW!"
"W-we can't!" the operator screamed fearfully, "The canon still needs twelve minutes to charge before it can fire!"
As Jose was busy cursing his luck, Kurama was crouching down closer to the ground with his gigantic eye looking at Naruto. "All right brat," the titanic fox growled, "I'll lend you my strength this time, but you owe me twice my usual payment."
Naruto looked irritated but casually waved his hand in a dismissive manner, "Yeah, yeah. Twelve cases of the old man's booze. You know he always gets on my case when I use Fairy Tail's ale as your personal drinking fountain, right?" the fox just gave a toothy grin in response and Naruto sighed, "Why can't you be cooperative like your siblings? Whatever," he jumped onto Kurama's giant back, "Let's just hurry up and finish these clowns!"
"Pleasure doing business with you," Kurama growled before he launched himself at Phantom's castle with surprising speed and hand grasped onto the building before anyone could blink. This tips of Kurama's tails glowed with an eerie light before he called out, "Fox Tail Inferno! (1)" and streams of white-hot fire flew from his tails right into the canon's mouth, causing it to melt shut from the heat. As the nine-tailed fox was busy restraining the building, Naruto hopped onto one of the nearby roofs of the mobile guild hall.
The blond Celestial Spirit mage turned towards the assembled Fairy Tail mages down on the grown and shouted out in a teasing voice, "Hey~! You guys had better hurry before me and Kurama take all the good fights!" With that, Naruto leapt through a nearby window and started to fight the startled members of Phantom Lord that were hiding out in the room he just landed in.
"YOU JERK! Don't start the fight without me! C'mon Happy, before Naruto hogs all the fun!" Natsu screamed before turning towards his blue-furred companion.
"Aye sir!" Happy chirped before using his magic to sprout a pair of wings and grabbed onto Natsu with his tail, flying him towards the opposing fortress.
"Don't start the party without me," shouted Gray as he formed a path of ice to the guilds entrance over Kurama's massive shoulder. He ran up it completely ignoring that he was taking off his shirt as he did so.
"It'll be man for me to join in as well!" roared Elfman as he followed the stripping Ice mage.
The battle for Fairy Tail had truly begun!
