A/N: I'd like to thank doomqwe, what ever yo, Six Foot Assassin, naga, Ragno, Susanno, tera12, Guest, Guest, Stratos263, Hellfire45, austinpowers97, RoyalTwinFangs, Train Heartnett, Ryner510, Auvro1, xirons, READER1010, Naruhinafan86, Blackswordbeam, Spark861, naruto, General zod, Guest, GuruDAhsura, Goldenwrath99, Lightningblade49, rinnegan18, fraxures, Black, ahmad3970, Blood Winged Fallen Angel, Rebmul, silent loner boy and Shiro-Kuraso for reviewing my last chapter, means a lot. Also I would like to thank most of you for pointing out that Irene is actually Erza's mum, I admit I made a mistake there, but I'm going to keep them as sisters because it goes with the storyline that in setting. You'll understand why later on.
Auvro1: This storyline will follow that of Fairy Tail with a few minor divergences. As for Irene not been a dragon, I have not yet decided, but I can do something with with Irene been a dragon.
READER1010: I agree with you on that one because to go to war is to kill for your country and those you care about. But I think the war if there was one, probably made Fairy Tail choose their beliefs of never killing. Or that's what I'm going to have happened. Plus many people fighting become close friends with people they nearly died beside so that's probably where Fairy Tail's border line obsession with comradeship came from.
Blackswordbeam: Like I said to Auvro1, I have not yet decided but I do have to agree. We haven't seen any dragon like abilities displayed by Erza, even though her mum is a dragon. So it could probably mean that Irene placed like a suppression seal or something like that on her. Don't know but I will probably do something with Irene been a dragon. It would make things quite interesting. Also Naruto will interact with Fairy Tail more often in the later chapters, for example when Oracion Seis, Tenrou Island, etc. As for what side he is on, I don't know, but I do know that Naruto won't be joining Fairy Tail. He may help them but he doesn't want to pinned down by a guild. He spent over three thousand years been alone, and he ain't gonna change now.
silent loner boy: I don't really understand what you mean about the fact we are breaking up. Did you mean the story been stopped because if so then no. I will try to complete this story. Try being the keyword. If you didn't mean that, I don't really know what you mean then.
Hope this clears up any questions you have and don't be afraid to ask them. I'd rather you tell me your confused so I can clear if up for you.

Limitless
Chapter 4
He moved from world to world. His life holding no meaning, no semblance of reason. He only moved from one place to the next. Rumours soon spread about his skills, his prowess, his destructive nature and with it came an endless line of prideful warriors. All intent on proving themselves his better.
None did so.
Each were been, broken and barely alive. Bones broken, organs ruptured, all mannerisms of fatal injuries were inflicted upon them. But the most dangerous of them, was their broken pride. Something which had been the driving force for most of mankind. Pride always played apart in achievement.
By breaking it; he broke them.
It was meant to drive them. Give them an excuse to train their bodies. Get stronger, faster and better so that they could regain their lost pride. But it did none of those things.
Instead they were terrified of him. Too scared to even be within a hundred miles of him. So when he moved onto a new world. Free from his touch. He did something he had never done before. Something only the most arrogant of warriors had done.
Limited himself.
It took him a year to do so. Splitting his powers into categories based on their element, rank, destructive capabilities, their uses, their weaknesses, their versatility. These gave way to levels. There was a total of a thousand levels, that when released gave him more destructive techniques and attacks that Naruto could use to destroy strong warriors.
So far the highest level to be released was five, and that fight needed as soon as it was released. Only the Gods had managed to withstand his full powers. But the price to do so had cost them dearly and they would have surely died.
There was no one out there, no one that could challenge him, give him the fight he craved. But if there was, he would find them and enjoy the fight to its fullest.

It had been a week of late nights for one Erza Belserion, previously Scarlet. The first thing Naruto had made her do was study all the files his unknown informant had on their target, then she would study his routine as he was at the casino. Quite a bothersome and boring thing to do.
She knew that she should feel nervous about having her first kill, but she couldn't bring to herself to feel it. Some small part of her mind was against the idea completely, however it was but a whisper compared to the large part screaming for the mans death.
For you see her target was not what she expected.
On the outside he appeared kind, caring and an all round nice guy. However, at the age of sixty, her target named Datō Koushama, was anything but kind. He was a rapist and a murder. Offering young and beautiful girls the opportunity to be models. This was but a disguise, as they were instead taken to his manor and there he had his sick way with them.
Yet he had not be caught or tried for these charges. Instead he payed off the Rune Knights who came to check his manor for any illegal activities based on the accusations of innocents, that then mysteriously disappeared. Most of the time he bribed the guards with money, but some would be offered the chance to, 'sample the goods.'
When she found out about this any hesitant thoughts were ignored or silenced.
It was around eleven o'clock in the morning and Erza lay on one of the beaches surrounding the casino. She was on her front, with her yellow bikini top undone allowing her to get an even suntan.
In another few moments her target would be here. For you see his routine was very, very basic. Wake up at ten, have breakfast and then head out to the beach at eleven. Spend around three hours here before heading inside and having a shower. After that he would spend an hour at the bar before heading back to his room. Then at five, he would head down for tea, and then would finish the day off by going to the casino till around eleven.
She had discussed her plan with Naruto this morning and he had pointed out any flaws she may have had. Asking her what she would do in certain scenarios. Turning her head to the side, she saw Naruto sat underneath a palm tree. Hanging off one of his arms was a beautiful woman, with a curvy body and generous bust. Her midnight black was let down and reached her mid back. The skimpy bikini she wore did hardly anything to hide her body.
Naruto however was the one that caught her eye the most. Clad in only a pair of burnt orange swimming shorts that while odd, suited him perfectly. His Adonis like body was on full show and was catching the attention of practically every woman around, whether they be single or not. Unknowingly a blush crossed her features. Even though his original outfit was very tight and barely did anything to hide the killer body he had underneath, it didn't mean that seeing it without anything over it was less appealing.
No. In fact it was more so. The way his muscles rippled and flexed with even the simplest of movements. He was neither overalls muscular or skinny, he was perfect. Built for both speed and strength. Something the countless bruises she had endured could attest to. Unlike most men who simply tried get a body to look good, Naruto had one that was built to kill and the difference between the two was very noticeable.
"Excuse me is anyone sat here." The voice was deep but slightly gravely and hoarse. Looking in the direction of the she saw her target, Datō. He was of average and slightly on the far side. His balding head clearly showed the wrinkles that were taking place. His outfit consisted of simple blue swimming shorts.
She could clearly see his eyes roaming over her body shamelessly and the barely restrained lust that lay behind them. That was something else that Naruto taught her, how to read what someone was thinking by looking into their eyes. And the things she could see going through his mind made her skin crawl in disgust.
However she put on a fake smile and spoke, "no, it's open." His smile widened and he placed a bathing mat beside her before laying down on it himself.
"Lovely weather where having, don't you think?" She knew instantly what his game was. Make her feel at ease in his presence by starting with small talk before asking her some more serious questions that while innocent in nature, were far from it.
"Yes. I honestly didn't expect it to come out this nice." He nodded his head in agreement. Then the two began talking. He would ask questions and she would reply with faked answers which she would have never been able to come up with, without the help of Naruto. She really owed him. He had prepared for everything and went through all sorts of questions with her. Most of which Datō was asking her now.
"Tell me, what exactly do you do for a job?" He asked.
"I don't do much. I used to work as a waitress, but after that I kind started living off my parents." If Naruto hadn't beat it into her on how to hide her emotions she would have given herself a pat on the back for the lie she came up with. While it wasn't a big achievement it was for her as at first she had been incapable of lying.
"I see." She noticed it then. It was only there for a few moments, but the lust and pleased look in his eyes shined brightly. "How would you like to come and work for me as a model. I have quite a few young and beautiful women that have similar back stories such as you. Of course none are as beautiful as you." It took all her self restraint to stop herself from shivering in disgust. Instead she gave a smile in return.
"Why thank you." He looked expectantly and while she knew this was exactly what she wanted she couldn't appear to be desperate. Datō lost interest in women like them easily. He likes those that he has to struggle to get. Or as Naruto liked to put it, he liked the thrill of the hunt. "Can I have sometime to think over your offer?" Her voice was innocent and she gently nibbled on her bottom lip, by the way he stared and shifted uncomfortably she knew he was aroused by the display.
"Of course my dear. Take all the time you want." Giving him a smile, Erza rose to her feet.
"Thank you, maybe I'll see you tonight at the casino." He gave her a nod and a wave before watching her leave, his eyes glued to her firm, but bubble derrière.
Turning to one of the guards that was relaxing a further ways away, he gave a nod in Erza's direction and got a nod in return. The guard stood up and followed after Erza. When this happened Datō laid down on the ground and let his eyes close.

Locking the door to her apartment Erza flopped down on one of the beds in the room. It had been incredibly hard for her to not just up and leave when Datō would just shamelessly stare at her.
"Did it work?" The voice of Naruto made her turn around to see him rubbing his head with a towel. It was obvious he had been in the sea for two reasons. The first; he was wet and the second was because she didn't hear the shower going when she entered. Either way her breath hitched as she stared at him. He was handsome, and with his Adonis like body, he was amazing. However, as she watched the droplets of water stick and move over his boys, he was breathtaking.
A cough broke her from her staring and her eyes stared at his face. One that had a smug smirk fixed and mischief clearly shown. His smirk only seemed to grow when her face became the same colour as her hair. Scarlet.
"I think your previous last name suits you perfectly now, Scarlet!" His voice went husky towards the end and if possible her blush deepened. "Now as much as I love seeing you laid out before me in nothing but a bikini, I would like to know if you managed to complete your mission so far."
"Pervert." She said shyly while looking anywhere but at him.
"Says the one that couldn't take her eyes off me." He shot back teasingly making her blush go even darker. "Well?"
"He asked me if I wanted to become a model." He nodded while throwing the towel onto his bed.
"You did good." Hearing him say that made her feel a sense of pride. "Did you know you were been followed?"
"Yes. Average height, white skin, with black and brown eyes." Naruto nodded his head. "Also he has a total of five guards with him in the casino. Four of which are spread out around him, with one constantly accompanying him."
"I'll take out the four, you deal with Datō and his constant companion." Nodding her head, Erza made her way towards the bathroom. "Also before you go, your old teammates have arrived and there are also four other magic users that have just arrived. If you run across them they won't be a problem will they?" That made her pause and her heart stopped when she remembered her old teammates. Natsu and Gray more so than Lucy. However she remembered her sister Irene and what she gave up.
"No." Her voice was cold and her eyes were cold.
Her sister had let her go so that she (Erza), could be with the new family she found. She would honour that sacrifice and find her sister so that they could be a family once more. Even if that meant leaving the family that her sister left her with.

Dressed in a tight fitting black dress that hugged her curves and had a slits going down one side that showed her long and silky leg, opera length black gloves, high heels, Erza stood at a poker table. Beside her Datō was going on and on about how great she would be as a model.
Erza gave a mental sigh as none to 'subtly' rubbed his hand against exposed leg. Honestly he could try and be a bit more discreet.
"Tell me Erza-chan, are you excited to be a model?" Once again she had to stop herself from releasing a sigh as he asked her the same question for the tenth time. Plastering a smile on her face, Erza turned and brought one arm up into her breasts, pushing them out more.
"Of course. I can't wait." He gave a smile while his eyes stared at her breasts hungrily. 'Pig.' She spat mentally.
So lost in her disgust for her 'employer' she didn't realise that the dealers had changed. That was until she heard a high pitched voice that she hasn't heard in years.
"Hello oneechan." Looking up Erza came face to face with someone she thought she would never see again. The man had blond hair, arranged in a wavy look with fringes hanging above his forehead and had tan skin. He has somewhat dark beady eyes and a small 5-shaped tattoo that was located below his lower lip. He also wore an earring with diamond ornaments attached on his left ear. He wore a waistcoat with yellow buttons and black dress pants. "Shall we play a game?"
"S-Shô!" She said breathlessly.
-X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X-
Wearing a white button up shirt, dress pants and shoes and tie was Naruto. He moved calmly through the crows of people and made his way towards one of the guards at a machine slot. He would give credit were it was due as these guards knew were to position themselves. They had laced themselves in areas that gave a perfect view of the other three guards and Datō.
Walking forwards he clamped a hand on the mans shoulder making him jump.
"Hey man, can I have a go. There's nowhere else free." Naruto purposely slurred his voice.
"No, sorry I want to win back some of the money I've lost." The guard replied and relaxed his shoulders when he saw it was only a drunk young man. However, he tensed once more for an unknown reason before his head slumped forwards.
"Ah, I see. Best of luck." Turning around Naruto left and the guard remained at the machine slots. His form rigid and his eyes closed. A kunai was embedded into his stomach till a tiny bit of the handle could be seen. His top slowly been stained red around it.
The other two guards where dispatched in similar ways. Each remaining in a position that looked like they were standing, but were entirely dead.
Approaching the final guard that had his back turned to him, Naruto walked up and was about to stab him in the back. However someone intervened.
"Karyū no Tekken (Fire Dragon's Iron Fist)!" With a grunt Naruto felt a flaming fist impact with the side of his face and send him flying into a blackjack table. Instantly it caved underneath him sending cards and chips into the air. People screamed in fright and began scrambling away.
With a smirk Naruto rose to his feet while rubbing his jaw. Looking forwards he saw Natsu stood their hunched over. Behind him was Gray and Lucy.
"Oh look who it is." His smirk deepened when he saw there glares deepen. "I can sense all of you have gotten stronger. Good." He saw them all tense as Naruto straightened to his full height. "Is this the part where I surrender? I would hand you my weapons but I seem to have lost them."
"We don't care about bringing you in." Gray said coldly.
"Where's Erza?" Natsu shouted, his form been engulfed in flames. Smirking Naruto turned in Erza's direction only to see the four mages he sensed from before leaving that exact location. Erza nowhere in sight.
"I seem to have lost her as well." He also gave a careless shrug and gave a lopsided grin in return. This turned out to be a mistake as Natsu's flames began been sucked into him.
"Karyū no Hoko (Fire Dragon's Roar)!" He shouted and the flame attack launched forwards.
Naruto however didn't move an inch, instead simply summoning his chokutō to his hand. Slowly he moved it in front of him and Natsu's attack began splitting down the middle, harmlessly passing by him. With a minor grunt Naruto flicked his blade to the side and with the attack followed.
"Did I say I lost my weapons. I'm sorry for lying." His voice was mocking however his face turned serious soon after. "Well done Natsu, I can already sense the increase in your magic. I had to actually put effort into deflecting that attack but; you're still nowhere near strong enough to beat me."
"Shut the hell up!" Natsu appeared behind him and went to hit him with his flaming wrists, only for Naruto to grab hold of his wrist and throw him towards Gray and Lucy. He however got to his feet and went to charge forwards only for a large amount of killing intent to bare down upon him.
He instantly broke out in a cold sweat and came to a halt. His breathing stopped and his mind replaying his death over and over again causing his eyes to widen in fright. Slowly he fell to his knees as an image of a beast of colossal proportion appeared behind Naruto. It's mouth stretched into a mad smile and lined with razor sharp teeth, behind it swished ten tails. But what was most frightening was the single glowing red eye with a ripple pattern extending from the pupil. On each ripple were three tomes.
"Enough!" Naruto said calmly. His voice was unlike anything they had heard, it sounded like multiple voices were overlapping his own, giving it a demonic edge. "If you cease this childish vendetta you have against me, I can take you to see Erza."
No one said anything but he could see the hesitant acceptance in their eyes. Moving forwards Naruto placed a hand on Gray and Natsu's shoulder, who both tensed. Naruto indicated for Lucy to move forwards who also placed her hand on Natsu's other shoulder.
"Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique)." It was but a whisper and with it the four disparaged in a yellow flash. None saw the young and beautiful blue haired woman running out the door.
-X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X- Line Break –X-
"S-Shô." Erza said breathlessly while her face was set into that of shock as she gazed upon the figure. "B-but how?"
"After you abandoned us, Jellal showed us the way. With his help we completed the Tower of Heaven and now we plan to bring you home." Shô boasted getting confused looks from the patrons at the table.
"Erza-chan what is he on about?" Datō asked from beside her. Great, just what she needed. Her childhood friends and her target all in the same place. Things just got a whole lot harder.
"Em." She didn't know what to say, so she desperately looked around only to see Naruto landed on a blackjack table. So did everyone else.
Using this to her advantage, she summoned a katana and stabbed it through Datō's heart. The man gurgled up blood and looked at her in shock before slumping to the ground. The guard behind him went to strike her only for him to picked off the ground by two large hands.
For a few seconds the man struggled before going limp.
When the body was dropped to the ground Erza saw the owner of those hands.
"S-Simon!" Said man was a very massive, tall and muscular young man. His left eye was covered in a simple, dark eyepatch, held up by an extremely slim rope, with a thin scar emerging from under it and going down diagonally on his cheek. His massive jaw was obscured by an armoured metal plate, bearing lines of studs on its upper edges and two side protrusions jutting upwards, plus a set of teeth-like ornaments, overall resembling a skeletal jaw. The top of his head was covered in a light cloth wrapped around it, tied on the back, where a pair of long wrappings were left hanging over his neck, with another one hanging on the right of his face; such headgear bore a great resemblance to a turban.
His outfit left most of his upper body exposed, being only covered by a large, light cloth passing over his left shoulder and going down below his waist, where it was tied by a light sash, plus a single, dark sleeve on the left arm, bearing two light stripes vertically going down it, from the shoulder to the cuff. The cloth crossing his chest diagonally had its edges adorned by a series of dark pyramids, and bore in its middle several dark, larger motifs, highly reminiscent of double-edged axes. He also wore a pair of extremely loose dark pants, almost reaching down to his ankles, and a simple pair of ankle boots.
"Millianna!" She was a woman of average height with a curvaceous figure. Her most distinct features were her cat-like ones: possessing cat-like eyes, nose and mouth. Millianna brown hair is styled into cat ears at her crown and tied into two ponytails at the base. Her face had four red whisker-like tattoos and wears a yellow jacket with white stripes and black trimmings. She also wore a pink dress with a white bow tie on it and light-pinkish ruffles on the lower portion, a choker with a bell on it, and white leggings.
"Wally!" He was a man of average height and a regular-toned body. His most distinctive feature is the fact that his whole body was formed of geometrical shapes that resembled that of blocks. Wally has black hair, an oddly-shaped chin, and has thick lips. He wore a royal blue suit with a white collared shirt and red necktie. He also wore black, oval-shaped sunglasses, a boater hat, and a white scarf can be seen hanging loosely around his neck.
"Hello Erza." Simon said calmly in his deep voice. Behind him Millianna made cat-like noises as a form of greeting.
"Looks like you've been living the dandy life." Wally spoke smoothly.
