Chapter 3: Reunion
Begin.
"NARUTO!" Erza roared as she requiped into her Flight Armor. With an extreme speed, she went for an attack. She appeared in front of him and went for a downward slash. Naruto caught her wrist and kicked her in the gut, causing her to fly back toward the group.
"Geeze, can we at least go out for dinner before you try to kill me." Naruto summoned a simple Katana from his pocket dimension and lazily waved it at the group. "You know, you won't be able to beat me Scarlet-chan, so how about we skip this and just fuck!" Naruto was surprised by an angry Erza who appeared again in front of Naruto. Naruto jumped back avoiding a horizontal slash but he didn't notice Erza's smirk. As Naruto landed he was surprised when blood sprayed out of his chest, a giant cut appearing on his chest. Naruto looked down at his chest before starting to laugh maniacally.
"Hahahaha Deceptive Wind Blade, wounding me with my own spell, hahahaha!" Naruto continued to laugh. He then stopped laughing and glared at Erza. His cerulean blue eyes meeting her brown ones. "Maybe I should start trying a little." Naruto disappeared and appeared on her right and went for a horizontal attack. Erza met his blade but wasn't prepared by the force of the attack. She was sent a few feet back but that didn't stop Naruto. He appeared in front of her and kicked her in her stomach, knocking her air. As she staggered from the attack; Naruto tripped her, causing her to fall. He held her head down with his foot and held his blade over his head. He was going to decapitate her but jumped back avoiding the fire heading his way.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Natsu screamed out his spell trying to save Erza from him. Grey and Natsu appeared in front of Erza, glaring at Naruto. Naruto just stared lazily at the group.
"Erza!" Lucy yelled worried at her down ally. Erza stood up and grabbed Natsu by the collar and yelled at him.
"Why the hell did you jump in! This is my fight!" Erza yelled. Natsu just stared at Erza with an angry expression.
"Did you just expect us to watch you be killed!" Natsu responded. Erza just pushed him back and requiped into her Black Wing Armor. She was going to attack Naruto again but was interrupted by Naruto.
"Why do you continue to fight? You know you won't be able to lay another scratch on me." Naruto asked. Erza angrily glared at him when she heard this; she was going to respond, but Natsu beat him to it.
"She fights you because it's her purpose. Like you taught me, we need a purpose to fight." Natsu said with a serious tone, rarely seen by his guildmates. Lucy looked on with confusion but Grey and Happy looked on worried. They knew how much Natsu looked up to Naruto when he was part of the guild.
"Erza's purpose was to fight by your side. Grey was to make his teacher proud of him. My purpose for strength was to make Igneel proud and also to make...you proud. Naruto, I even discovered your purpose. Your purpose is your bonds." Natsu said with a small smile. Naruto just stared at Natsu oddly.
"Bonds?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, like the reason you're here for. I don't feel like you're as heartless as you let out. I know that time with us, it wasn't just a ruse; you actually cared for all of us." Natsu added. Naruto just gave him a smirk and crossed his arms.
"So that's what you actually think? That I actually cared for the guild, cared for you and loved Erza?" Naruto asked Natsu who nodded. Naruto held his sides as he began to laugh again. He stopped and just stared at Natsu. "It was all a fucking lie, for god's sake. I never cared for the guild or anyone in it; and do you really think I actually loved Erza? Hahaha!" Naruto began his laughter again. Natsu looked on shocked by the words of Naruto. He turned around and found Erza standing up with her head down, her hair shadowing her eyes. He looked closely and saw tears streak down her cheeks. Her hands trembling and slight sobs escaped her as she tried to hide it as best as she could, be failing in the end. He became furious by seeing his friend like this, but he wasn't the only one. Grey hated seeing his friends hurt, let alone cry in front of him. He turned back to Naruto and send his spell toward him.
"Ice Make: Spear!"
Grey put his left fist on top of his right palm, as a magical spell formed in front of him, shooting out spears formed of ice. Naruto lazily cut the spears in front of him down; but was surprised when a pillar of ice shot from the floor, trapping his right arm which held the katana.
"Natsu! Now!" Grey yelled as Natsu nodded and appeared in front of Naruto. Fire engulfed his body as he launched himself toward Naruto.
"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn."
Natsu hit Naruto in the chest causing him to crash to the wall. Natsu stopped and stared at the hole Naruto went through. He was then caught off guard by an invisible force that caused him to crash into Grey. Naruto came out of the hole, fully healed and in his Blind Blade attire.
"Do you want to know my real purpose?" Naruto walked closer to the Erza, getting Natsu and Grey to tense. Natsu went to intervene, but didn't go far. Natsu was slashed behind his knees causing him to go on his knees. Grey went for a spell, but slashes from a blade appeared on both his arms and his abdomen causing him to bleed profoundly. Natsu tried to stand up again, but didn't get that far. To cuts appeared on his back and on his chest, causing him to fall on the floor.
"Natsu! Grey!" Lucy yelled as she watched her two teammates bleeding. She was shocked when she saw the blond in front of her, defeat her teammates without laying a hand on them. She turned back to Erza who fell on her knees visibly shaking. Naruto stopped walking a couple feet away from Erza.
"My purpose in this god forsaken world is... Nothing. I have no purpose, I'm just a weapon in the eyes of my master." Naruto said as he requiped back into the clothes he wore before, just a new shirt this time. Naruto walked closer to Erza and cupped her chin, so she can meet eyes with his. "You knew that from the beginning Scarlet. I enlightened you with my past; the loneliness and pains I felt. You know that I thrived for acknowledgment, to not be forgotten." Naruto added.
"That doesn't make sense! Your time with Fairy Tail, everyone acknowledged you as our family!" Grey yelled from the spot he's at.
"It was all fake! You guy's were all like those Konoha pigs. Treat me like I mattered, so you can use me happily as your weapon; then throw me away when I have no further use." Naruto spat out angrily.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, retired Wizard Saint and 3rd Leader of Konoha taught him that lesson. While the rest of the village ignored him, he acted like he actually mattered. He idolized him, Naruto wanted to be just like him. He became a mage at 11, his success in missions brought huge recognition and profit to the village. He even gained the title of youngest S class ever at 12. He was so happy at that time. The people began to recognize him and Sarutobi was so proud of him, until that day. A month before his birthday, Sarutobi asked Naruto to go on the 100 year mission to slay the black dragon, Acnologia. Sarutobi kept going on how proud he would be and the recognition the village would get if he succeeds. Naruto happily accepted it and went out to find the black dragon. It took him nearly a month but he found the black dragon. Naruto's used his whole power, but it was nonexistent to the black dragon. The black dragon left him in a near death state. Naruto escaped using a spell which transported him away. He returned and couldn't believe how they treated him.
Flashback
A recently 13 year old boy is currently walking in one of the streets of Konoha. He was heavily bandaged with his right arm in a sling. He was looking around and saw some glared with some mixtures of anger and disappointment. He put his head down and hurried to Sarutobi's office to report his mission.
After five minutes, he finds himself in front of the Village Leader's Office Building. He walks inside and goes to Sarutobi's office. He walks closer to the half open door, but stops when he hears some chatter inside.
"Hiruzen, it seems like that boy has failed the 100 year mission. Sorcerer Weekly Magazine caught pictures of him on a neighboring town, getting his wounds healed." Naruto looked through the slit in the door and saw an old man with his left eye and right side of his body. He was holding a copy of the magazine on his hand. "He brought great embarrassment to Konoha." Danzo said with great disgust.
"He is nothing like his parents." Sarutobi said as he rubbed the temple of his head.
"You can't expect that child to be anything like his parents. His parents were heroes widely respected; while, that child is a curse to the village." Danzo said as he stared down at Sarutobi.
"Yes I know, since that woman put the curse on Naruto, our livestock and agriculture been affected. I would have ordered his death if it wasn't for the second part of the curse. So instead, I made him my weapon." Sarutobi said causing Naruto's eyes to widen. He couldn't believe that Sarutobi actually wanted him killed.
"Ingenious of you Sarutobi. Give him the acknowledgment he always wanted and he becomes a loyal weapon." Danzo said but it didn't matter. Naruto didn't want to hear any more so he left.
Flashback End.
Naruto stared down at Erza. He leaned forward, whispering softly in her ear. "He gave me false hope of happiness; I would do anything to make him happy."
"W-what makes you different from him?" Erza whispered back getting Naruto to get angry. He grabbed her neck and lifted her up, choking her.
"How dare you compare me to him!" Naruto yelled as he tightened his hold before loosening it. Naruto just threw her to the side. "Well I'm not far from him. Using you as a tool for my mission isn't that different from using you as a weapon." Naruto let out.
"Naruto, do you have any idea how much I loved you! I would have left the guild for you, I would follow you to hell if I had too!" Erza screamed as she slowly stood up. Natsu and Grey just stared at her sadly, knowing everything she says is true.
"Blind loyalty, just like he made me." Naruto just shook his head at that. He walked up to the unconscious Kageyama and grabbed a flute from his cloak. He stared at it, feeling the evil energy it radiated. He threw it in the air and pulled out a new katana.
"Shredding Wind Blade." Naruto sent a barrage of attacks, as the flute screamed, as it was shredded into pieces. Naruto turned his attention back to Erza. "Scarlet, you won't be able to beat me the way you are."
"W-we'll beat you and we will bring y-you back to the guild." Natsu said from the floor. Naruto just stared at him for a few seconds before giving Erza his attention.
"You still lack the hatred to kill me Scarlett, You don't hate me enough. Don't worry though, I'll make you hate me." Naruto clutched his left eye. "Fear the lost magic my master bestowed on me, Tsukuyomi!" Naruto's left eye turned blood red with a pinwheel figure appearing in the center.
"AHHHH!"
End.
Hahaha yes Naruto will have the Sharingan, weird twist now.I'm trying to live up to the Cliffhanger of Forgotten Fairy. So what did Erza see in the realm of Tsukuyomi? What happened to Konoha? Will I ever come up with an idea for Forgotten Fairy? Tune in next time!
And review XD
