Tale of the ancient: Rebirth of a legend: Chapter 2!
Ok firstly I thought I'd give you guys this heads up, the Naruto of this story will be completely bad-ass he will be GODLIKE, no, not the sniveling kind that can't stand on their own 2 feet, no, he will be GODLIKE, he will flip entire landmasses with the tip of his finger, he will cause earthquakes with the tap of his shoe, yes, he will truly be of the godlike category, and not the one that reserves itself because it's afraid of shit.
Ok let's get this started!
It had been 2 weeks since their last mission which had turned sour upon the encounter with Gray Fullbusters old training partner and fellow ice make mage, Lyon, who, in an attempt to redeem himself, as well as prove himself in the eyes of his remaining friends and in his teacher's eyes, had attempted the resurrection of the great land demon, a creation of the black mage Zeref himself, the one only known as Deliora.
Upon finding out that his once best friend had apparently turned to the side of darkness, Grey had gone on a warpath, tearing through the ranks of opposition without mercy as he made his way into the temple of the moon where Deliora was being freed, his objective to prevent the monsters revival at all costs, even if it meant him using iced shell, which would in no doubt kill him and reduce his body to nothingness.
But alas, even with Grays rage, and Natsu's raw unyielding power they didn't make it in time to stop it because, as they reached the chamber where the creation of Zeref was only now half imprisoned, Deliora had enough freedom of movement to gather and fire his giant beam of destruction upon them.
The only thing that saved the duo from annihilation was Lucys quick thinking as she processed their situation and quickly grabbed the rivals by their lapels and dragged them, fueled by adrenaline to a location out of the line of fire that was quickly consumed by said destructive element, which tore through 20 kilometers of forestry and life before evaporating into the sea. The result of the beam was obvious as the ground began to shake, before the island began to split in two, the rock that made up the foundations of the island completely severed down to the last molecule.
Luck appeared to be on their side after that though as, upon the dissipation of its beam, Deliora began to collapse, death soon claiming it's monstrous form which began to disintegrate into magical particles which traveled away from each other, seemingly repelling each other.
Splayed out on his team-mates couch, Natsu sighed in comfort as his right hand touched the floor while his other was laid over his stomach "eh, this is nice" he drew in a slow breath of relaxation as happy who laid next to him nodded.
"Aye" he assented as they listened to the sound of water droplets colliding with tile flooring which existed only in the shower.
"hm hmhm-hm" they heard Lucy hum as she, well they assumed, rubbed shampoo into her hair, the recent invention doing wonders for its silkiness and cleansed shine "Uhhh, now this is perfect, the apartment all to myself, no Natsu or Happy or Erza, just, relaxation!"
They refrained from laughing, as doing so would get them kicked out of the room which they had broken into for a laugh but also to inform Lucy that they were going to take another mission of which would take them to the eastern sector of Magnolia.
CREEEAK!
The door whined as it was drawn quickly to the side, to reveal Lucy Heartfilia dressed in only a towel which covered her chest and privates.
"NATSU!"
The roar that all men feared, that of a lividly angry woman echoed through the streets of Magnolia town, the male inhabitants of which shriveled in fear of the tone that struck a very deep part of their hearts.
With Naruto
The man that every human and dragon alike paced his mountaintop, wearing holes in the ground as he waited for Juubi to gather everything up in the satchel he had given her, said satchel being modified with the use of seals to extend the inner capacity to nigh infinite lengths, thereby allowing them to store their home in the bag, the only downside though being that Juubi was so damn meticulous in her attempts to make sure that everything was easily accessible, he was Naruto fucking Uzumaki, the six paths reincarnation, the man who'd bed a thousand beauties, outstripped his former master of his title of 'the legendary pervert' he didn't need no damn mother hen to micro manage his possessions, no, he wanted a sexy bitch who would tend to his whims.
"Oi, Juubi, for fucks sake, it doesn't take half an hour to sweep a bag across our possessions!" he called out, irritation leaking into his voice easily.
"I'm sorry master, I'm making sure none of your possessions are broken" Juubi replied tentatively from the cave where they, as of this morning, vacated.
Sighing in exasperation, Naruto deadpanned into the cave.
"Juubi, you baka"
With Makarov
The stout leader of his guild stood on the counter of Mirajane's bar, overlooking the chaos his guild created with a smile.
"Children will be children, no matter their age" he mumbled as Mirajane's dish that she usually used to serve and gather drinks came flying like a buzz saw at him.
Clattering against his wrinkled forehead, Makarov comically fell back wards onto the crown of his skull, the silver dish pinging off his skull and clattering against the wall where it laid bent and dented from the impact with the guild leaders head.
During the impact, the guild had fallen silent, the fights that had initially started out of playful fun now stopped as the entire guild stared at the scene whilst sweating large bullets from the back of their heads.
"BRATS!" Markarov scrambled to his feet, a comically, a large pulsing red blob of swollen matter throbbing on his forehead as he dropped down from his spot and glared playfully at the guild members who cowed under his gaze slightly "carry on" he nursed his lump a little before ducking under the counter as a chair flew in his direction "BE CAREFUL!" he shouted as he was completely ignored by the chaotic guild who proceeded to cheerfully decimate the insides of the guild that they loved so much.
!
Makarov's head snapped in the direction of his most mysterious guild member whose magical energy had suddenly spiked to almost monstrous levels.
Seeing as the man was in his guild so long longer than him actually, and yet hadn't aged a day sent shivers up his spine, the man could be on level with himself in a few years if his magical energy continued to increase like that.
And yet.
There was something suspicious about the man, he was so aloof unlike the other members of his who had each bonded tightly to each other, taking each other's burdens as their own and sharing the support, no instead of bonding, the man choose to remain suspiciously incognito, not taking part in events or bar fights, and nobody challenged him because he, for all intents and purposes, appeared to be a non-entity.
To be honest, the only person the guy conversed with, even for a short time, was Natsu Dragneel, though the boy could worm his way into anyone's heart with that steadfast belief of his.
He had already scouted the man silently, checking if he was a spy of some sort, or checking if he was some type of danger to the guild.
The results came up with nothing, there were no links, no attachments to the past, nothing that would identify him as having been even born.
And so that brought him to his last question, the one that had haunted him for the decades of his employment as a guild master and wizard saint.
Why did the first guild master the fairy called Mavis, accept such a person into her guild.
It could only bring him to one, astounding conclusion.
Mavis had intentionally buried the man's past, absolving him of past crimes so that he could start afresh, nothing else fit other than that, it was like trying to put a jigsaw together with only half the parts, it was simply impossible.
So he had tiptoed his way around the man maintaining an amicable relationship, and yet, his thrice damned heart had drawn him ever closer to the man who had tentatively opened up, only giving him snippets of his painful past.
And soon enough, he had come to see the man as one of his own, one that he would give his life to protect.
Looking up at the blonde haired, whisker marked male, Makarov could only feel joy permeating his old heart at seeing his guild member's attentive eye panning the scene.
They were not the eyes of somebody who had committed sin.
No.
They were the eyes of somebody who had lived long enough to care, yet choose when he wanted to show it.
A small smile crept onto his face as he looked away from the man and back to the chaos of his guild once more.
"Grey, fight me!" Natsu shouted, mounting a table with one foot as he glared at his polar opposite.
"What was that peewee, a fight, go on your on!" charging their elemental powers, Grey and Natsu were about to spit the elements at each other before a skilled, S class red-haired swordsman interrupted them abruptly a frown on her features as she intercepted their attacks and flared her presence, reducing the two to stumbling messes that quickly threw arms over each other in a friendly manner.
"Me and Natsu were just having a conversation, isn't that right, Natsu!" the rosy haired boy nodded frantically as Erza's presence diminished apparently sated.
"Hm" Erza just hummed as she turned away and made her way to the bar where Makarov stood, staring at her expectantly.
"Job completed, master" she claimed as Makarov nodded, his expression changing from scrutinizing to proud in a moment.
"Well done Erza" he smiled as Erza nodded seriously, before turning to the guild members who had continued to fight in her presence and glaring at them, causing them to halt abruptly.
Smiling slightly, Erza just hummed throatily.
With Naruto
Descending the mountain was easier than most thought, the main reason that nobody could enter his domain was that, with his immense, immeasurable control over the elements, nobody could enter his abode, nobody could pass power.
In fact, the only one that had gleaned a look into his realm of power was that brat, Makarov who led his favorite guild.
The old goat had managed to absorb enough of his lightning to weaken the haze around his summit, though in the process the guy damn near killed himself.
He was the only human ever to do so though.
"Juubi, walk with me" he commanded, stepping to the end of the mountain summit where a small, carved path led down the mountain side.
Waving his hand to the side, the sennin dispelled the storms with his hand gesture and continued to walk down the path of the mountain, Juubi following faithfully behind him at his 5 o' clock with the satchel slung over her shoulder.
"Master, isn't it dangerous to leave any type of evidence we we here lying around?" Juubi questioned her master who chuckled deeply.
"Why yes, it is, thank you for reminding me, for that you get a special treat tonight" Juubi blushed heavily at Naruto's sweet insinuation while she watched, the blonde raise his left arm to the sky, her master always had a flair for dramatics.
"Rai" (thunder)
Nothing happened for several seconds, before, out of the dissipating black clouds, lightning of enormous proportions descended, easily dwarfing that of Laxus's of Makarovs.
Its size was so great that before it even stuck the ground, the spires surrounding the summit had already collapsed, before the massive bolt struck the earthen top, discharging through the ground in large yellow bolts of electricity before the charge became too much, the earth unable to hold anymore, upon which it began to fracture.
Looking back over her shoulder at the display, Juubi's eyes widened in panic as the summit began to glow.
BOOOOM!
The resounding explosion shook the earth for miles as the bolt completely obliterated the mountain they had been living on for the past century, leaving naught but the shrapnel that was flying in their direction and the path they were currently standing upon.
"Master!" Juubi, quickly registering the shrapnel, moved to Naruto's 6 o' clock and prepared herself for pain as the rocks would no doubt hit her.
"hm, baka"
Eyes widening substantially, she saw Naruto, looking over his shoulder with his hand held out backwards, pressed to the center of her chest.
"Tetsu no tate" the man uttered bored, as the iron particles present within the earth rose up to create a barrier of solid metal behind her.
The iron wall was almost 12 feet thick and easily deflected the shrapnel of the mountain that pounded their position, the wall was only reinforced by the blue glow that extended from Naruto's hand, touching the iron wall to stop it from moving with sheer energy alone.
Once the explosion had died down, Naruto dispelled the iron back into the soil, dropping the barrier and his hand to his side where he looked upon the mushroom cloud created by his meager attack.
"Hm" turning his head to the still wide eyed Juubi, he quietly acknowledged her sacrifice she was going to make for him only moments prior and swore to himself he would repay it in its entirety, he may be of a jaded nature now, but that didn't mean he stopped honoring his promises, no he kept them alright.
He smiled slightly ad he drew the mercury haired woman into a one armed hug.
"Thanks, Juu" she whispered as the woman blushed a deep scarlet red.
"N-N-No problem, Naruto Sama, I-I was only fulfilling my duty" she stated modestly as Naruto chuckled lightly.
"Oh, and that blush I see is?" he teased as she closed her eyes, embarrassed and looked away, even as they continued down the path of what was left of the mountain.
"Today will mark the return of your god, Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto"
Mou, how was that? You like it, as I said, Naruto isn't going to hold back, why should he, he's got nothing to lose, his only partner is an immortal mass of energy stuffed into a human body, to put it simply, he don't give no shits!
