It has been 5 years ever since Naruto crafted his first weapon, taking on nothing but C ranked job to D ranked job requests. He still hasn't realized why but somehow whenever he approached the board all that remained there were the easy ones, in other words, simple and boring, though there were some action occasionally, most of the time, there were barely any, hence the need to make some.

As Naruto rushed back to the guild, he was repeatedly shouting, "Old man!"

"What is it, Naruto? Everyone in the town can hear you shouting!"

"My magic energy has developed!" Naruto exclaimed with excitement. "Now will you teach me magic?"

"Hmm... Let's go to your place to discuss this further." Makarov got down from his table and walked out towards Naruto's home, with Naruto trailing behind him.

"Naruto, you will have to discover what type of magic you will be using yourself. The only thing I will be able to teach you is how to will it."

"Why? Why won't you just teach me your magic?"

"Naruto, magic differs from person to person just like one's personality with another. After you have learnt to will your magic energy, then will you be able to discover your own magic, understand?"

"Fine..." Naruto mumbled with a tad bit of disappointment.

"Now, to will your magic, the first thing you must always do is to clear your mind. Think of nothing but yourself reaching deep into yourself and grab those magic energy from within your body." Naruto watched with amusement as Makarov closed his eyes. Thinking it was rather fun to try it himself, Naruto closed his eyes intently, trying to do as Makarov said.

"Naruto, you're not doing it right. Like I said, clear your mind. Do not let other thoughts distract you."

"What's the next step then?"

"It's the one and only. The rest is up to you, depending on whatever kind of magic you will be using."

Naruto closed his eyes once more, ignoring the breeze that caressed his skin, the sound of dripping water and their breathing. Then he felt it.

"Do you feel that, old man?"

"Feel what?" Makarov was confused, perhaps this was his discovery of his own magic.

"The vibration. It's all around me. But the one you're radiating is extremely violent."

"I'm radiating?" Makarov pondered for a moment and walked a few steps back. "How about now?"

"It's getting weaker and weaker."

"Good, good." Makarov understood. "Now try to maintain control of your magic energy and open your eyes, you can't be thinking of fighting your opponents with your eyes closed in the future, are you?"

Naruto slowly opened his eyes. He saw Makarov walking towards him from afar. The vibration he felt from Makarov was getting stronger as Makarov came closer.

"It would seem that your magic energy is capable of sensing other's magic energy, its strength and distance, but you're going to have to train yourself to understand it better." Makarov deduced.

"Wow!" Naruto was amused, but not for long. "But that sucks. I want some offensive magic! I can't attack enemies just by knowing where they are like that."

"You have your knives, Naruto. Try combining your magic with your knives, the effects can be deadly."

It was true. Naruto had built himself a pair of metal vambraces which he used to store his hidden blades and knife shooting devices. Over the course of five years, he had gathered knives of different shapes and trained himself hard in order to use his weapons to their maximum efficiency. There was just one slight issue, Naruto would always come back from a mission empty-handed. He had the tendency to use moving targets as practice, in other words, animals... and humans.

"But I run out of them very quickly!"

"Then don't waste them unnecessarily. Now that you are able to will your magic energy out, you are free to invent your own personal magic. Well then, good luck."

"Wait.." Naruto called out a little too late as Makarov had hopped away from his lawn. Naruto took out a knife and wondered.

'The old man told me to combine the use of magic with knives. I have to know the limitations of my sensor magic. Naruto took a stroll

'Well, I can defend myself if my enemies are approaching me, but if my enemies are out of my range, that could be an issue. If only I could find a way to get close to them. But to do that, I need a marker, something to determine my location.'

He took out one of his knives, it had a tri-prong shape with the middle one being longer and sharper than the other two. Infusing the knife with his magic energy, Naruto threw the knife towards one of his training dummies. He could feel the vibration radiating from his own magical energy on the kunai. With blinding speed, he rushed towards the knife along the waves of vibration and... smashed himself into the dummy.

"Ouch, that freaking hurt!"

"Damn it, I'm not trying that ever again." Naruto declared to himself as he entered the guild. His whole body was full of bruises and injuries evident. Yet he still walked towards the job request board as if nothing happened. Looking through all the D-rank notices, he found one hidden beneath.

"Retrieve the jewel? Look at that, the reward is 1,000,000 jewels! This is just easy money!"

Details: A priceless jewel has been stolen by a parakeet and it was seen flying to the forest east of Konoha. When found, return to the Heartfilia mansion.

"Wow, that's awfully close!" Naruto realized and made off to the forest where the parakeet was supposedly seen.

The view from outside wasn't pleasing to him, he could tell that danger lurks within the forest. He was shaking uncontrollably, he didn't know why, but he felt excited.

"Finally some action!" Naruto exclaimed and rushed straight into the forest, not the slightest bit worried that he was putting his life on the line. He was constantly sensing his surroundings for the life energy within the parakeet, though the other animals' life energy were constantly distracting him.

Then, he felt something, no, a herd of wild animals, approaching him quickly. The vibration was getting stronger with every moment that passed. Diving behind a large tree, he watched as the massive stampede of animals rushed by the tree he was hiding behind, narrowly trampling him to death.

"What the hell? The first thing that greets me in the forest are animals trying to kill me?"

Feeling for any life energy, he realized that the stampede a moment ago probably was all the animals that lived in the forest. There wasn't the slightest bit of vibration that he could feel, at first.

In fact, as he went deeper into the forest, he could feel a small amount of vibration radiating from nearby. Closely following the vibration, it turned out that there was a cliff at the edge of the forest and the parakeet is flying around at the other side of the cliff. The jewel it was holding on to was safe in its mouth.

Naruto pleaded very hard in his hard that the parakeet wouldn't let go of the jewel, or this rare opportunity to be a millionaire would be gone. He didn't dare throw any of his knives at the parakeet in fear that it might drop all the way down the cliff when it died. He did the only thing he could: observe.

'What happened a moment ago? Why would all the animals just rush out of the forest suddenly?' he suddenly thought of. 'What's with this strong vibration?'

Feeling that an immensely power creature was approaching him quickly, Naruto was got up and was about to turn when the sheer amount of killer intent stunned him. He was sweating madly, praying hard that whatever creature behind him would divert its attention to the parakeet.

"Fool, what is a mere human like you... I see, you're not human..." The deep voice which he assumed belonged to the creature was heard very clearly.

Hearing that, Naruto slowly turned his head towards the creature. It was a dragon, a black one, with sinister slitted eyes.

"I... beg... your pardon?" With a serious expression on, he then took out one of his tri-prong knife and aimed it towards the dragon's head. If he wasn't human, what could he possibly be? A demon? Deciding that he would force the truth out of the dragon if he had to, he mustered his courage and threatened it instead.

"Tell me everything I wish to know, or I swear that I would kill you." The dragon flinched slightly, realizing that the boy in front of him was dead serious. But he would be shocked even more if the boy could hurt him. After all, those thick scales of his wasn't there for reflect his beauty.

"That is if you can..." The dragon smirked.

Naruto knew charging head on to attack the dragon wouldn't attack it, he would need a strategy, which was why he took out that tri-prong knife of his, ready to bet on his life upon the success of the new technique he just founded.

The dragon was amused, the little boy in front of him was not the slightest bit afraid, instead the boy was preparing to attack him. He then felt a slight tickle on the top of his head and the next thing he saw was a yellow flash. Then, the boy was gone, but he felt something hanging onto his left horn.

"That was a close one..." Naruto muttered to himself, trying to climb onto the top of the dragon's head from his horn.

"Ah... You remind me so much of that bastard of Yellow Flash, or could you be his son? He managed to scratch me once, leaving a scar on my torso. In fact, he was the only one who have ever done so. "

Naruto widened his eyes then smirked, "If my father could land a hit on you, I can."

"But you should know that he left with one broken arm, four broken ribs and a fractured left thigh."

Naruto had to risk, quickly leaping onto the dragon's nose. "Speak, now."

"What do I get in return?"

"Your life spared." Naruto was ready to incapacitate the dragon's eye. Then, as quickly as he appeared on the dragon, he was suddenly suspended in mid-air, being held by what seemed to be hands made entirely of shadows.

"You have no idea what you're dealing with."

Naruto raised up his palm and extended the hidden blade, however, the hands did not seem to be damaged at all but rather the blade went right through the shadows.

"Did you really think you could injure my shadows?" The feeling of helplessness was quickly returning, Naruto began to realize that this fight was completely one-sided. He would never be able to land a hit like his father did.

"I will die fighting like my father did then." Naruto knew those were empty words, he could barely hurt the dragon. It was more likely that he would die because he was being killed by a powerful dragon.

"Big words for a small child. Hmm..." The dragon examined him carefully and spoke again, "You interest me, boy. Tell you what, I will take you in and teach you the arts of dragon slaying. Then, maybe you can try killing me another time."

"Why would you go so far as to teach me how to kill you?"

"Like I said, you interest me, boy."

"Very well, I accept." Naruto accepted without a second thought, it wasn't everyday that you're given an opportunity to learn under a creature with immense power.

"Then off we go. Hold on tight." The dragon replied and put Naruto on his back.

"Wait, don't I get to say goodbyes to my guild members?"

"There isn't a need for that, after all, you will be seeing them again in a few year's time." The dragon then took off at the speed rivaling Naruto's unnamed 'teleportation' technique.

(Fairy Tail Guild)

"Have you seen Naruto?" Makarov asked the guild members one by one. He was worried, Naruto usually did more than a few jobs in a day, those D ranked ones were no challenge to him after all. But today he was taking unusually long to complete his first mission of the day. Perhaps there was just a slight delay.

(Black Dragon's Mountain)

"Welcome to the my lair, more commonly known as the Black Dragon's Mountain." The dragon then placed Naruto down on a large rock in a valley before walking back slowly into its cave.

"Rest for now, we will begin tomorrow."

After throwing up quite a few times, Naruto sat down and looked back into the cave which the dragon just entered. The flight experience he just had while coming here reminded him so much of that technique he founded.

"Perhaps I've found a name for this technique." Naruto smiled and threw another tri-prong knife infused with magic towards the opposite end of the valley he was in. "Black Dragon's Flight." Naruto said and off he went... crashing into other side. His knife was half an inch below his crotch.

"Shit, I need a lot more practice for this one." Then, he went unconscious.

When Naruto woke up again, he still felt that strong vibration radiating. But when he turned his head, there was no black dragon, merely a nine tailed fox in a cage.

"This must be our... second meeting. I still don't get who you really are or how did you end up in me?"

"That is not my question to answer. Instead, redirect that question of yours to my daughter."

"I've waited for five years! Find your daughter, argh, this is getting frustrating..." Naruto grabbed his hair and fell backward onto the grass.

"No matter, that can still wait. As for why I called you here this time, you really are one hell of a boy to garner the attention of the black dragon huh? It is known to be one of the few SS rank demons out there."

"Well, how many 'S' can one achieve?" Naruto was getting sick of the number of 'S' that was always appearing in front.

"As of now, only one demon has ever achieved three, and that's me, though I believe that there is potential for four. Of course, that would mean the bounty would exceed even a trillion jewels. That's a hell lot..." The Kyuubi wondered off.

"Look, I know you dream of being one of those quadruple S demons, sorry, the ONLY quadruple S demons, but I'm gonna have to ask you about that dragon."

"Of course, you're curious. You're curious about why a demon of such caliber would agree to train a low ranking one such as yourself?"

"Are you implying that I am a demon?" Naruto narrowed his eyes, the words of the dragon still lingering within his head. 'You're not a human...'

"Assumptions made by one self should be opened by the eyes of another. Like I said, seek my daughter."

"You really miss your daughter a lot, don't you? Serve you right for..."

BANG!

The sound of the Kyuubi's paw hitting the side of the cage was loud enough to cause a tremor within his mind. "Watch your mouth brat, those with truth blinded shouldn't make such assumptions."

"Yeah, yeah, and you're some wise old fox who's just trying lecture a little boy. So what, you haven't even answered my question."

"You already know the answer to that one." The fox calmed down as sudden as it became angry.

"Like I said, you interest me, boy." Naruto recalled what the dragon told him. "If I interest him, it could mean that I'm some appealing dinner to him!"

The fox lowered his head and examined the boy closely, "That one is definitely not true. You're not the slightest bit appealing!"

Naruto had to endure the laughter made by the fox, somehow it seemed to echo throughout the mind scape. "Then what?"

"Kid, I hate to admit this, but you've got potential. A fucking lot of potential. You made yourself a weapon at the age of four, can throw knives with deadly accuracy at the age of six and you've invented another device to shoot knives. Even you impress me."

"You know this, but the dragon doesn't. How does he..."

"Your affinity to darkness is what peaked its interest. That, and the fact that you aren't human." The fox widened its smirk.

"So I'm a demon huh? Well, I don't see nothing different from myself compared to the other guild members."

"That's because I've been concealing it. And no, you're gonna have to find out the truth from..."

"Your daughter."

"Yes, but with this, I offer you another opportunity to learn another field of magic. The art of illusions."

"If I recall correctly, you want something in return."

"A vial of blood, like before."

"Again? Why would you want my blood for?"

"Your blood is vital for me to allow access to your mind so that I can teach you properly. And, shall I remind you, that your previous debt has not been cleared?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, you've been bugging me all this time about it. But how will my blood help?"

"Once I consume that blood of yours, your subconscious will recognize me as a part of it, thus freeing me from this fucked up cage."

"But doesn't that mean you're free from me?"

"Not from your body, I'll only be free to roam within your mind."

"Alright. How the hell am I suppose to give you my blood?"

"Imagine that you are holding a vial in your hand, then materialize it."

"O... kay..." Naruto tried and miraculously, it worked. Biting his finger, he then dripped them into the vial and fill it up. "How do I know you aren't lying to me?"

"You don't. You're just gonna have to take a leap of faith, don't you?" The fox smirked.

"Fine." Naruto said and threw the bottle towards the cage. The Kyuubi caught it with his paw and swallowed the whole vial.

The cage was suddenly gone and the Kyuubi was free, but only in Naruto's mind. However, Naruto had to dive to his right as dozens of arrows were suddenly launched towards him. He sprinted backward when he saw grenades dropping from the sky.

"Fuck you, Kyuubi!" Naruto cursed as he continued sprinting from the rain of bullets and grenades. He suddenly tripped over himself and was cornered. The attack suddenly halted as sudden as it began.

"Lesson Number Zero: Never trust a demon you are not familiar with."

"I know that very well. " Naruto smirked. "Lesson Number Zero Point One: A demon can never go against a promise made."

"Heh, you've got some brains after all. But I never said I wouldn't kill you after I'm done teaching you."

"Who's gonna find your daughter then?"

"I can find her myself."

"You don't know how the seal works."

"Neither do you."

"So I advice you not to try anything." Naruto smirked, he had won an argument against the fox, but he was sure he heard the fox muttering, "Fucking blondes."

(Two years later - 11th July, X 777)

"Damn it man, today sure is our lucky day." A thief expressed his joy after robbing, his hands full of jewelries.

"Yup, that mansion sure has security as tight as shit." The two of them then laughed. They stopped but another laughter resumed next to them.

"Wait, we have three members?" They both turned their head and saw a blonde siting right next to them, his face horribly disfigured.

"AHHHHHH!" They both screamed and noticed that the horribly disfigured blonde was no longer there.

"What was that?"

Then a voice from nowhere echoed, "Tonight you should be honored to be taught the basic type of illusions you will ever see in this world. D rank illusion, and the easiest to be dispelled, one that messes with your five senses, as you've just seen.. and heard.

"Who... who's... there?"

"Show yourself!" Both robbers were trembling in fear. Suddenly, one of them felt extreme pain on his right thigh. Looking down, he noticed a dozen of knives were stabbed into his thigh.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed even louder.

"What? What's wrong?" The first robber gripped his thigh as if it was being mutilated, making the second wonder what was happening.

"This is a C rank illusion, one that is registered within your mind, tough to dispel and the only way to dispel it is to remove it directly from your mind. But, what you're about to experience is a B rank one, one that is developed based on your most horrifying memories, thereby making you feel as if what you're seeing is reality. Oh, and the only way that it can be removed, is... I'm lazy to explain, you idiots wouldn't understand it anyway." The voice echoed again. This time it sent shivers down the second robber's spine.

'Who is this person? Is he some of those rumored demons to exist?' he wondered involuntarily. He had seen one before and it was a near death experience. Ever since then, he was extremely afraid of them. Then, out of nowhere, the demon he had seen and feared in his childhood jumped out of the bushes and munched on his right arm. A shriek followed.

The first robber suddenly found the knives on his thigh gone, and out of nowhere, a blonde with spiky hair grinned at him. "Take good care of him. He's probably gonna be in a coma for a few days after this. He should be lucky it's just a B ranked one, not an A or S ranked one. Hehehe..."

"Who... are... you? And... what... did you... do.. to my friend?" The first robber said, he could still feel the reminiscent pain from the 'second class illusion' the blonde in front of him called.

"Friend? Guess what? He was planning to kill you and take all the jewel for himself."

"What..." The robber went speechless.

"As for who am I? I'll leave it as a souvenir to the both of you. See this?" The blonde raised his palm, showing the black Fairy Tail stamp of his. "This is a insignia of the Fairy Tail guild, somewhere far south of here, in the town of Konoha, Magnolia district. Then a blade suddenly jutted out from below his wrist until it was an inch away from his face.

"This one's real." he said and stabbed both their right thigh with his blade. It was then that the robber realized who he was. Recently, there were news originating from the north that someone dubbed as 'The Assassin', 'Silent Demon' and other names, had stopped many criminal acts with just a single stab. The person also used the blood from the wound to imprint the insignia of the guild Fairy Tail on any part of the criminals' body.

"You... You must be the one they call 'The Assassin', huh?"

The blonde looked up in thought then looked down and smiled, "Make it The Assassin Naruto."

(Fairy Tail)

"Master, there is more news about this mysterious figure they call The Assassin." Macao rushed into the master's office with a smile.

"Is it about the criminal acts that he stopped? I will not allow this if he is not an actual member of Fairy Tail. What is this person thinking? Using the honorable Fairy Tail guild's name to perform such acts? What if he..." However, Makarov did not seem any happy whenever there is news about this person.

"Master!"

"What is it?"

"Recently there was another title that went around. Its 'The Assassin Naruto'.

"What?" Makarov's widened his eyes.

(With Naruto)

"Damn, building a reputation is easier than I thought." Naruto mumbled as he sat in the bar, drinking white liquid from a bottle. The tag on the bottle had one big word: Milk. (A/N: What were you thinking?)

"The neighbourhood sure has lesser crimes recently with the appearance of The Assassin. No one knows anything else about him besides his last name."

"Yep, but isn't Fairy Tail a guild far south over here? Why is a Fairy Tail member taking jobs that are so far away from their turf?"

"I don't really know. But have you heard of the way he cripples his enemies?"

"Yeah, swift and quick, just like an assassin."

"But wouldn't that title attract people who offer assassination missions?"

"Fairy Tail is not a dark guild. This Naruto person wouldn't just take on missions like that."

Naruto sat silently and drank his milk, listening to others gossiping about his deeds. Then, suddenly the table was smashed and whoever did it suddenly breathed out fire, scaring the bar's customers.

"Who is this person? Where is he?" A boy with rose pink hair who looked no older than 10 continued breathing out fire, demanding answers recklessly.

Looking at the damage being done, Naruto promptly stood up and approached the boy.

"What's your name, boy?"

"Natsu Dragneel, remember that. Now who are you? You can't be that much older than me. I'm sure I can beat you down." the boy said with arrogance in his voice.

"I'm the one you're looking for. The Assassin." Naruto answered. "Now let's get out of here before this place becomes a mess."

"You are? Then fight me." The boy's expression quickly became an excited one and followed Naruto outside.

"Natsu, look up." Natsu did and he saw fairies flying towards the south.

"What the..." Before Natsu could finish, he was already knocked out by Naruto.

"You've got some talent..." Having been into Natsu's mind, he learned most of Natsu's capabilities and dreams, but he still required more training. "Alright, I'm bringing you back to Fairy Tail."

(2 days later in the evening)

"Hey, Naruto, you owe me another fight." Natsu stated. "You cheated in the previous one, I want a rematch!"

"How about you roast this deer with that dragon slaying magic of yours?" Naruto smiled after placing the deer he just caught in the forest down.

"How did you..." Natsu was shocked.

"I can identify your capabilities with my magic."

"That's a rather handy one." Natsu then looked down at the deer. "Flame Dragon's Breath!"

In a matter of seconds, the deer was roasted by the stream of fire coming out from Natsu's mouth and Naruto chopped it into half, taking one part for himself, leaving another for Natsu.

"Tell me about this Fairy Tail guild."

Naruto blinked, did Natsu just started a normal conversation? That was a first. "Well, before I left, it was a quiet one, but we interact with each other a lot, that's probably the only thing that keeps us together. But I'm sure the guild is gonna be rowdy soon with additions of people like you."

"What? Are you saying I'm rowdy? Damn it, I'm having a rematch now."

"Flame Dragon's Roar!" A blast of fire was directed towards Naruto who somehow summoned a wall from the ground. As soon as the fire dissipated, the wall was gone.

"Black Dragon's Scales!" Naruto called out and his skin instantly hardened and was replaced by black scales. Natsu stared in awe as his fire was unable to penetrate through Naruto's 'scales'.

"What? You know dragon slayer magic? That means you're a dragon slayer!" Natsu pointed out.

"Well, I'm actually half dragon slayer." Naruto smiled. Natsu merely sweat dropped and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I haven't finished learning when the dragon left on 7th July, the date your dragon supposedly left."

"Did he say anything about where he would be going? Did he mention a dragon by the name of Igneel?" Natsu was eager to find out any possible clue that could lead him to Igneel, his foster father.

"Nope, I'm sorry. We weren't on really good terms, unlike the relationship you shared with Igneel." By the time Naruto finished, Natsu's face was already flowing with tears. "Err... I'm really sorry about Igneel's disappearance."

"You don't understand!" Natsu then ran off down the road towards south.

"And I was planning to reach by tomorrow morning." Naruto then got up and sprinted down the road, chasing after Natsu.

They reached as soon as night fall, but Naruto knew well Fairy Tail was currently empty.

"Ah, it's been a long time..." Naruto recalled his past as a child when he spent his whole day doing dozens of D ranked job requests. Now he was sure the old man would allow him to take the A rank ones. "Natsu, would you like to spend the night at my place?" Naruto offered.

"Yeah.. thanks." Natsu accepted with reluctance. Naruto looked at him and smiled, Natsu reminded him so much of his rebellious younger self who was eager to show his strength. But now he changed, he had grown up, and was not the immature brat from before.

"My ass." The Kyuubi interrupted.

"Oh, shut up."

(Next morning)

The main entrance to the guild was forcefully kicked opened by one Namikaze Naruto, behind was Natsu, who was in awe by the building's unique structure.

"Heya guys, I'm back!" Naruto called out loud

Everyone stared and blinked, making sure that this was no illusion.

"Naruto! We thought you were dead!"

"That's right! You were gone for two years!"

"It's always possible to die in a mission, you know!"

Naruto sweat dropped at his fellow guild members' faith in him, did they think he would just die off that easily?

"Come on, let's go meet the guild master." Naruto gestured for Natsu to follow. As he made his way there, he noticed a few new faces. There was a young girl with red hair around the same age as him strolling in the guild, around the job request board. Another brunette with her hair tied into a ponytail was currently shouting, "Your clothes!" towards another black haired boy who was half naked. Apparently, he just realized that his shirt was gone. Both of them seemed to be around the same age as Natsu.

"You stole my shirt didn't you, baka Cana?" The boy shouted.

"Why would I want your shirt, bastard Gray?" The girl replied.

Having learned both their names in their argument but not the red haired girl, he decided to approach her later, not noticing Natsu had gone off towards Gray.

Naruto turned his head, having just noticed Natsu was gone. Turning his head again, he saw the one called Gray summoning shards of ice to attack Natsu while Natsu himself seemed to be charging another blast of fire.

"NATSU!" Naruto shouted and the fight halted immediately.

(Guild Master's office)

"So mind telling me where have you been these two years, Naruto?" Makarov glared at him with killer intent evident while he spoke.

"Err... well... I've been on a mission. See?" Naruto then took out the notice he last picked before leaving Fairy Tail, the one that requested him to search for a jewel, which he did. It somehow ended up in the black dragon's cave and he found it after the dragon miraculously left. "Well... 1,000,000 jewels in 2 years. Though the jewels per day rate may be a little low, but it's still worth it, considering that meal costs were already covered..." Naruto thought for a moment.

Makarov slammed the table hard with his stick and repeated, "Mind telling me where have you been these two years, Naruto?"

"Erm... on a mission?"

"Don't mess with me. You think news of your deeds haven't been passed down from the north. They've been calling you 'The Assassin', 'The Silent Killer', 'The Silent Demon', and whatever names that I couldn't remember!"

"The mission took me there?" Naruto tried to talk his way out of explaining, but he knew this would end in vain.

"So how is it that the mission took you there? I didn't think someone with your experience would search for a jewel all the way to the north."

Natsu watched as Naruto and Makarov went on...'discussing' about this mission that Naruto went on for a long period when he could do it just a small amount of time.

"What have you really been doing, Naruto?"

"Training." He quickly answered.

"Under?"

This time, Naruto slammed the table, "What aren't you telling me, old man?"

But this served to agitate Makarov further. "Answer my question."

"How is it that an enormous nine tailed fox is in my mind and you didn't know about it?"

"Well..." Makarov went speechless for a moment but suddenly the whole guild was in fire, in fact, it was the guild's condition when the Kyuubi attacked 11 years ago. To Natsu, the guild master's expression suddenly became a horrified one, as if he had just witnessed a terrifying scene, well, as a matter of fact, he did.

"So, the fox attacked Konoha when I was just born huh?" Makarov immediately realized the magic he was being cast upon through his years of experience. It was an illusion magic which made him relive his memories.

"Get... out.. of... my mind!" Makarov ordered with a serious expression and the next moment, the guild was back to normal.

"Not bad, old man, you know very well it's a B rank illusion. Does that answer your question?" Naruto asked.

"Does that?" Makarov asked back, still panting from the memory he momentarily relived.

"I see, we have a mutual understanding then." Naruto suddenly smiled, silently glad that he didn't have to tell the old man all that he had learned, especially the part where he learned dragon slaying magic from the black dragon. Quickly changing the topic, he pat Natsu on the back. "This boy is Natsu. He's here to join the guild."

For a moment there, Natsu thought that the guild master was a scary person, but just after the conversation with Naruto, he was smiling already and was shaking his hands.

"Mind telling me your magic, young one?"

"I'm an expert in dragon slaying!" The boy declared proudly.

"Ah... a dragon slayer, just like someone here..." Makarov suddenly looked up towards Naruto, who was stunned by Makarov's discovery of his primary offensive magic.

"Fine, but I'm only half, the dragon haven't taught me everything, so I'm gonna have to discover the remaining magic myself." Naruto wondered off.

"I may be old, but I know what kind of magic radiates what kind of energy." Makarov finished and asked Natsu, "Where would you like guild stamp and what would you like your colour to be?"

"A red one on the top of my right arm."

Naruto walked out of the office, deciding to take a rest for the day and resume doing mission the next day. But as he was walking out, he noticed the red head seemed really lonely. She was sitting all by herself on a bench, instead of doing a job.

"Could you by any chance be a new member?" Naruto asked the girl.

The girl was rather shy, she turned her head away for a moment and quietly answered, "Yes... I was told that Fairy Tail could provide me with a better future. I just arrived few weeks ago."

"Weren't you planning to go on a job a moment ago?"

"None of them... interests me."

"I see, I'm Namikaze Naruto, and you are..." Naruto extended his hand but somehow Erza was reluctant to accept it.

"Erza Scarlet."

"Ba...Baka!" He hit him hard in the head and rushed out of the guild.

"What was that for?" Naruto wondered.

A/N: Reviews give me great motivation, so please do review. Well, I may be hinting a NaruXErza pairing, but it's not confirmed. You can give your opinions about it though. Oh, and yes, that's about all there is to Naruto's fields of magic. Do provide some opinions about that too.

Last but not least, review and I'll write as much as I can!
