Hey guys as expected I got mixed reviews about last chapter. Anyways the answer to the most commonly asked question "Did the Fairy Tail guild members actually believe Naruto when he said he was drunk during the fight?" the answer is…no not really. But they're going along with it for the most part.

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

"Techniques/dragon/demon speech"

Last time

Natsu couldn't help it anymore as he kicked a table high into the air. "This is great! It's way too easy to understand, I'm pumped!" he roared.

Naruto shook his head "You're an idiot." He stated pointing at Natsu. "He's threatening to kill your friends and you think it's a game?" he asked lowly

Laxus spoke before Natsu could "Of course it's a game…and it starts…NOW!"

City wide fight

As soon as Laxus made his declaration he disappeared via lightning as did the Raijinshuu. "Lousy cowards." Naruto muttered under his breath as he stood up. Spinning around he calmly walked towards the guild hall doors "Well aren't you going to go stop them?" he asked looking over his shoulder impassively at the others.

Shaken from their stupor the other mages gave a shout of agreement as they rushed out of the guild in search of the rogue members of the guild. As Makarov made to follow something impeded him from following them through the door. "Master?" Naruto wondered as he stopped and turned back to the old man. "Seal?" he wondered as he grasped Makarov's wrists and tried to pull him through.

Makarov glanced up and widened his eyes "Runes!" he whispered harshly "To think that Fried was this strong!" Naruto tilted his head in confusion. "Let's see…Those over the age of eighty and stone statues are unable to leave." He read aloud as Grey and Natsu listened in.

"Damn that Laxus he's scared of the Master and made it so he can't participate!" Natsu shouted in anger. "Cheater, you can't be the strongest without beating the master!" Natsu declared causing the other three to palm their faces. "Don't worry Master I'll beat Laxus up for you!" he shouted before running forward…only to face plant right into the barrier.

"Natsu you're over eighty?" Makarov screamed in shock. "How can this be?" he muttered to himself at a much lower volume.

Naruto tilted his head to the side again. "Hn…Natsu must have grown up in a sub-space pocket with a mythical creature of sorts." He proposed his own idea. "Time flows are different in pocket dimensions." 'I should know I accidentally trapped myself in an alternate dimension when learning Hiraishin luckily I got out and only a day had passed by.' He thought to himself looking to the side.

Grey shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe, Natsu was raised by a Dragon after all." He admitted as he turned around. "I'm going ahead!" he called out as he started to run forward.

Naruto bowed to Natsu and Makarov "Well then…Master I'm off." He declared turning on his heel and started to walk away.

"Naruto!" Makarov called out catching the blonde male's attention. "Don't hold back." He ordered catching Naruto off guard before he smiled and nodded his head. Walking away Naruto started to whistle as Makarov sank into a seated position. "If it's him we might win."

Natsu glanced down at his leader. "Hey Master is it okay? Sending out a weakling like him?" he asked honestly confused. "He wasn't much to deal with."

Makarov sighed turning towards the rosy haired youth. "Naruto…was faking weakness." He informed Natsu. "I'm sure he has his reasons but he was only pretending to be weak."

Natsu gaped at the old man "What the hell?" he screamed turning back towards where Naruto disappeared to. "That bastard he let me punch him!"

Naruto glanced around lazily looking for any signs of the four people who had ruined the festival mood. "No one around." He muttered to himself as he placed his hands on the back of his head. "Hm?" he muttered seeing the cowboy, Alzack and the two weirdoes Jet and Droy. "Hey any luck you guys?" he called out walking up to them. Suddenly purple lettering surrounded them as Alzack looked up in shock.

"Only the last one standing can leave?" he whispered. Naruto perked his ears having heard Alzack who pointed one gun at Droy and the other at Jet. "Sorry, but this is for Bisca." He pulled the trigger. The two went down instantly unconscious from the sneak attack. "Now for Naru-t" he was cut off as he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Naruto made a sound of annoyance as he saw the runes die down. "What a twisted game." He muttered "Making friends fight friends." He glanced down at the three who had been standing near him just seconds before. "Sorry, but your magic won't touch me." He whispered before he walked off.

Makarov glanced up as the runes began to shift. "Fairy brawl Jet vs. Droy vs. Alzack vs. Naruto; winner…Naruto. Remaining participants…forty-six!" he whispered in horror as names started appearing and the number started to dwindle. "NO CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING?" he cried out.

Natsu screamed in frustration "Damn it! That looks so fun how come I can't join!" he screamed angrily "let me out Laxus!"

Naruto glanced around surprised that no one was around "What's going on?" he wondered looking around the area. Suddenly he was attacked as something struck the ground next to him. "Visitor!" Naruto shouted "another rune trap?" he wondered looking around. "Participants pay not leave until only one is standing." The rune read causing Naruto to sigh in annoyance. Suddenly vanishing Visitor nearly jumped in surprise only to start foaming at the mouth as Naruto reappeared behind him, hand raised in a chopping motion. "Sorry."

"Visitor vs. Naruto winner Naruto!" Natsu shouted in shock. "He is strong!" he whined as he sank to the ground.

Naruto sighed as he walked around the town aimlessly "Let's see where, oh where can I find the little cowards?" he wondered aloud.

"How dare you call us, the Raijinshuu, cowards!" a voice called down at him, it was Evergreen still in her bright green fairy costume. "Fairy Bomb: Gremlin!" she shouted as she released countless particles of dust that surrounded Naruto before exploding. "HA! All talk and no bite!" Evergreen boasted as she covered her mouth and began to laugh.

"That stung a little" Naruto called out from within the dust cutting her gloating short. "And you ruined my clothes." He stated dispersing the cloud of dust with a wave of his hand revealing that his clothing was burned and torn at various places but otherwise unharmed.

"How did you escape?" Evergreen asked in surprise taking an instinctive step backwards. "No one should be able to get out of that unharmed!"

Naruto cracked his neck to the side "Easy…you're weak." He declared walking a few steps forward. "Normally I'd take it easy since I don't really like the idea of being challenged to fights all the time, but for Master Makarov's sake I'm not holding back…too much." The last two words were nothing more than a whisper that Evergreen couldn't here it.

"Weak? You dare call me weak?" Evergreen screeched as she flew around using the wings on the back of her costume. "I'll show you weak!" she screamed as she spread more dust. "Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!" The dust pressed together to form needles as Evergreen fired them in rapid succession at Naruto who merely continued walking forward ignoring the hail of needled pelting his body. "Why…why isn't it working?" Evergreen shrieked in terror as she increased the number of needles and their speed.

Naruto idly noted that the needles were ripping his cloak off his body but paid it no mind. "Why? You ask?" he questioned as he began to walk up the side of a building in order to get closer to the airborne Evergreen. Shocked silent Evergreen unconsciously let up on her attack. "It's because a Fairy can never harm a Demon." He declared now at eye level with her. By now Naruto's cloak was nothing but rags that simply fell off his body revealing the numerous scars his body had accumulated over the course of his ninja career.

Evergreen was speechless as her attack ended due to her lack of concentration. "Those scars…" she whispered part in horror and part in wonderment. "No normal human should be able to move with those scars!" she screamed flying away from him.

Naruto grinned as he pulled out a long length of chain. "I already told you didn't I?" he asked swinging the chain around a little to build momentum. "I'm a demon." He swung the chain and before Evergreen could react it had wrapped around her and brought her crashing to the ground. Jumping to the streets below Naruto calmly walked up to Evergreen and knelt beside her. "Now release the hostages…or should I find some ways to…make you do what I want?"

Evergreen nearly screamed in terror as she quickly dispelled her petrification technique "It's done!" she screamed fearfully. Naruto nodded his head in approval before knocking her out.

"Good girl." He muttered quietly as he continued walking around the town.

Makarov snapped his head towards the sound of cracking stone with worried eyes only to sigh in relief when the very thing he hoped for happened. "Everyone your safe I'm glad!" he called out as the girls all looked around wondering what happened.

"Master?" Erza questioned. "What's going on?" The girls all gathered around Natsu and Makarov who quickly explained what was happening. "It looks likes only Naruto is left." He muttered checking the runes. "Bixlow just beat Grey but Naruto beat Evergreen freeing all of you."

Lucy looked up at the runes with wide eyes. "Naruto was that strong?" she wondered out loud. "Why was he pretending to be weak then?" she asked turning towards the master.

Makarov shrugged his shoulders "Who knows?" he replied "But either way Levy-chan we need you to alter the runes to let Natsu and Gajeel out of the guild." Levy nodded her head and darted away to begin investigations.

"Looks like the new guy has some fight in him!" Laxus announced laughing uproariously "But…he beat Evergreen freeing my hostages…meaning I'm upping the stakes." He announced voice cold as ice. "If you don't beat me within two hours time; the two hundred lightning lacrima I've set up around the town will release all of their magical power at once devastating Magnolia."

Erza's eyes flared angrily as she looked up seeing the glowing yellow orbs of lightning. "Laxus!" she growled.

Bisca quickly pulled out a rifle and took aim "We only need to destroy those lacrima right?" she asked as she fingered the trigger. "Then just do it!" she shouted as she pulled the trigger sending out a condensed beam of magical energy at the lacrima destroying it. Bisca smirked before she was struck by the backlash from the lacrima she had just destroyed.

"BISCA!" the others screamed as they rushed to her aid. "Damn it they have auto counters on those things." Cana muttered angrily.

Mirajane closed her eyes as she quickly turned around and left. "Mirajane!" Erza called out as she followed her out of the guild hall.

Makarov glared up at the orbs surrounding the town. "Laxus you've gone too far!" he whispered harshly.

Naruto stood on a rooftop looking up at the orbs in interest. "A way to store various types of magic…I wonder if it'd work with chakra." He mused to himself as he took a deep breath. "How many are still up and able to fight I wonder?" he asked no one in particular. "Hm…no one is coming to me… I wonder…can I use sage mode here?" seeing no harm in trying Naruto sat down and took a meditative pose.

All across the town of Magnolia the conscious mages all turned their gazes towards the source of the strange aura of serenity that permeated the air. "Whose magic is this?" Erza questioned trying to find Mirajane who had disappeared when Erza lost sight of her. "Such a presence." She whispered softly.

Makarov turned his attention to the source of the energy that brought a sense of calmness into his body. "This magic!" he whispered loud enough for the others around him to hear it.

"Master?" Natsu asked feeling an odd sense of calm. "What's going on?"

"Unbelievable…someone is harnessing the magic of the earth itself!" Makarov explained awed beyond all belief.

Levy looked up from her work as Gajeel woke up from his nap. "Who is it?" she questioned looking at her Master. "Master?"

Makarov glanced at her. "I think I know…but I need to make sure before I say." He evaded the question easily enough as Levy went back to work.

Gajeel grouchily made his way over to Makarov and Natsu. "It's him isn't it?" he asked cracking his neck. "That sneaky whiskered punk" he muttered grinning like a mad man.

Natsu pumped his fists into the air "Now I really want to fight him!" he shouted looking thrilled. "It's so cool he's so strong!" Natsu cheered as Happy Flew around "Aye!" he added in.

Mirajane, in the middle of handing Fried a beat down glanced at the source as the soul of the demon she took over shivered within the confines of her consciousness. "Beware the source." The demon advised solemnly "For none can withstand its wrath" With these words the demon's consciousness faded as Mirajane turned towards Fried who was shivering. "It's stupid you know…this fight…" she began catching his attention.

Naruto breathed deeply as he searched for the energy that most resembled the instability of Lightning. "There is a lot more nature energy here than back home." He mused aloud. "It feels wonderful to meditate here." He frowned internally "Those Lacrima things are blocking my sensing ability." He muttered just as Erza hopped onto the roof by him. "Erza." He muttered in greeting.

"So it was you Naruto." She muttered walking over to him. "I thought you said you were weak." She stated as she looked around.

"A lie obviously." Naruto admitted as he continued to meditate "Master saw through me and told me not to hold back for the occasion." He explained before Erza could ask. Sighing he cut off the gathering process and stood up, the orange pigments around his eyes catching Erza's attention.

"Naruto your eyes!" she gasped causing Naruto to open his eyes to look at her. Erza almost stepped back in shock. "Your eyes are…yellow with a rectangular pupil?" she questioned confused about the turn of events leading to the situation.

"It's complicated." Naruto stated uncaring. "What I was doing allows me to sense others, but these stupid Lacrima are blocking me from finding Laxus."

Erza nodded as she shifted armors. "Right now Natsu and Gajeel are fighting Laxus at the chapel." She informed Naruto who nodded in acceptance. "It's our job to destroy these and protect the town, but they shock anyone who destroys them"

Naruto sighed "No problem leave it to me." He ordered shaking his arms out. "I'll need you to carry me back to the guild afterwards though cause I'll be out like a light."

Erza of course was against the idea. "Don't be foolish one of those things have enough to knock out a person on their own your talking about destroying 198 of them!"

Naruto nodded his head "I know but we'll need you to fight just in case those two need help." He countered "I'd rather not deal with a lightning user, since I might go to far." He explained having bad memories with lightning. That said he began to gather the Nature chakra within him as he began forming signs with his hands.

Erza was shocked as she watched the speed with which his hands formed symbols, whose meanings eluded her. "Ame" Naruto whispered quietly as he held the tori sign. Suddenly a beam of light flew from Naruto's body into the air before separating into 198 smaller beams that struck each of the Lacrima.

Erza watched as all of the Lacrima shattered with wide eyes. "No way." She muttered unable to believe what she had just seen. "GYAA!" Snapping her head to the source she had just enough time to cover her eyes as Naruto was struck with the equivalence of 198 counter attacks. "Naruto!" Erza called out as she rushed to his side before he could fall. "Hang in there Naruto come on!" it was no use as Naruto had already lost consciousness, slinging his body over her shoulder Erza quickly carried him towards the guild.

"Master!" she cried out looking desperate. "We need medical aid now!" she cried. Catching the aged man's attention.

Eyes widening in horror Makarov quickly ordered the other girls still in the guild hall to set up a medical aid station as he lifted Naruto off of her shoulders and set him down on a bed using his Giant magic. "Erza what happened?" he asked as they quickly went about treating the burns covering Naruto's body.

"He destroyed all of the Lacrima surrounding the town." Erza explained before gasping in surprise. "What the…" she began as Makarov turned towards the unconscious blonde.

"His wounds…they're healing!" he shouted astonished "What is this?" he whispered mind racing as he tried to figure out how this was happening. "Anyways for now just let him rest." Makarov ordered as he ushered Erza out of the room as he closed the door behind them. "We'll need to talk to him about that later." Makarov decided as Erza nodded her head.

"How is he?" Bisca asked a few bandages around her own body from attacking the Lacrima

"He should be fine." Makarov stated calming Bisca and Levy down both of whom had been worried when they saw Naruto come in. "Any news on the fight?"

"I lost is what happened." Everyone turned around and saw Laxus looking worse for wear as he crossed his arms and looked away from everybody else. "Natsu and that Gajeel guy beat me while working together." He explained before bowing his head. "I'm sorry Jiji." He apologized sincerely as Makarov smiled.

Makarov, tears of joy in his eyes, hugged his formerly estranged grandson. "Laxus." He cried causing Laxus to stiffen up in surprise. "I'm so glad you didn't fall too far." The old man whispered into his grandson's ear.

Eyes widening as tears threatened to fall Laxus shakily asked "You mean I won't be expelled?" he asked "Even though I did all that stuff?" his voice was cracking by now and the girls thought it'd be best to leave the two alone as they left in order to aid all of the injured.

On the night of the parade

Naruto stood next to Makarov as the members of Fairy Tail prepared all of their routines. "Seems fun." Naruto mused seeing Laxus working with the Raijinshuu in order to build their own float.

"Why don't you two join them?" Makarov suggested seeing Gajeel, all bandaged up from the fight, sitting nearby.

Naruto calmly denied "My…abilities aren't good for showing off like that." He admitted "I'm only good for taking people down."

Gajeel shook his head as well "Nah that's not me." He muttered as he stood u and walked over. "Here." He stated handing a piece of paper to Makarov.

"Thank you." Makarov muttered pocketing the paper. "You sure you two don't want to join?" he asked again.

"Yeah." Naruto muttered before walking away "I need to find a job or something…I'm flat broke right now."

Naruto sighed as he sat down on the roof of a building overlooking the parade route. "I wonder what every will do." He muttered to himself as he rubbed his stomach. "I haven't eaten anything since I came here." He whispered sadly.

"Here." Someone called out from behind him. Looking over his shoulder he was slightly surprised to see Erza holding what looked like a lunch box. "A thank you for what you did for the town." She explained seeing his puzzled face.

Naruto's eyes lit up as he happily accepted the offered food and began to eat it. "It's good!" he cheered as he continued eating. "Thanks Erza I haven't eaten in a while."

Erza smiled though her face was slightly pink. "I'm glad." She mumbled before taking a seat next to him.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready?" Naruto asked wondering why she was sitting next to him.

"I've already prepared for the night." Erza stated looking up at the purplish sky now that the sun was setting. "I wanted to talk to you…about the scars…and your past."

Naruto sighed as he looked away. "You saw them then?" he asked quietly his hair shadowing his face. "My scars." Erza nodded her head. "I'd…rather not talk about it." He continued. "A lot of bad memories come with these scars." Flashes of his childhood, and Sasuke flashed to the forefront of his mind. Clenching his eyes shut Naruto struggled to maintain a calm front less he worry Erza who was looking at him.

"Alright I won't press you." She replied looking away from him. "I too have a past I'd rather not remember." She admitted. The two fell into a comfortable silence as they watched as evening turned into night.

"You should get going." Naruto informed Erza who nodded her head and made her way back to the guild. "A dark past huh?" he muttered under his breath as the parade began. Shaking such dark thoughts away Naruto thoroughly enjoyed watching as the entire guild had fun putting on a show for their fellow townsmen. "I guess now is a good time to check in with Gamakichi." Naruto muttered under his breath as he stood up, and with one last look at the parade…vanished.

Naruto looked around before biting his thumb, drawing blood. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" when the smoke cleared Gamakichi waved his webbed hand.

"Yo Naruto what's up?" he asked with a smile.

Naruto smiled as well "Hey how is everyone holding up?" he asked hoping Hinata was doing okay. "Is Hinata well?"

Gamakichi nodded his head "Yeah everyone was glad to hear that you were still alive." He pulled out a package from within his jacket pocket. "Here, they wanted you to have this." Handing the package to Naruto Gamakichi looked around. "There a festival or something going on?"

Naruto accepted the package with a grateful nod "Yeah, a parade featuring the local guild." He explained "Anyways tell Hinata I love her. The authorities here don't seem to understand cross-dimension travel and I don't either."

Gamakichi nodded his head sadly "The toads don't either Naruto…I'm sorry." Naruto simply shook his head "Don't worry about it Kichi…I just wish at the least that Hinata could be with me."

Gamakichi nodded his head again "I should get going see you around Naruto." His piece said Gamakichi disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Naruto stared at the spot his friend occupied "Yeah…see you around Kichi." He mumbled before looking back towards the town of Magnolia, and then down to the package in his hands. Slowly he opened it and smiled "Guys…" he whispered tears at his eyes.

Inside were various accessories from each of his friends so that he could always remember them. "A wolf themed necklace from Kiba's family, a rose earring from Ino and hers, Cherry blossom petal bandana from Sakura's parents, loose fitting martial arts pants from Tenten, matching shirt from Lee and Neji, wristbands with Namikaze written on them from the Konohamaru corps., chain mail undershirt from Anko and Kurenai-sensei, lion patterned cloth for my head-band from Sai, tear drop earring from Shikamaru and Shino…those guys must have split the cost…, leaf themed belt from Chouji's family, fingerless gloves with wind patterns from Kakashi-sensei and Yamato-taichou, Combat boots from Baa-chan, and fox patterned leg warmers from Gai-sensei. Those guys…" Naruto trailed off as he donned each of the gifts. Looking into the box for the last one he smiled as he pulled out Hinata's gift to him. "Hinata…" he whispered inspecting the vest she made for him. It was orange, and had the same furred material Hinata's jacket from their time as Gennin at the neck. It had four pockets on the front and two on the side, on the back was a message. "Hinata no Yuusha." Naruto read aloud. Donning the vest opened and over the shirt Lee and Neji had given him Naruto created a mirror and looked himself over. "Not bad if I do say so myself." He muttered.

Slowly Naruto made his way back to the guild hall were he would be staying a few more nights. "The lights are on." He noted as he pushed the doors open. "You guys…haven't gone home yet?" he asked seeing everyone laughing and drinking to their hearts content.

Everyone paused as they saw Naruto's new wardrobe. "Naruto where did you get all that new stuff?" Grey asked raising an eyebrow. "I thought you were broke."

Naruto smiled as he walked forward and sat at a table. "A messenger from my home managed to find me and delivered a package from all of my friends back home." He explained as he smiled and ordered a drink.

"Hinata no Yuusha." Lucy read off his back. "Who made that for you?" she asked eyes sparkling seeing a major topic for her book.

"A very dear to my heart friend." Naruto answered her taking a sip from his beer. "Very dear to me…" he whispered.

End

Alright I'm done! I know this wasn't all that good in terms of fighting but I didn't really want to go into each of the match ups other than Naruto's. Now as to Naruto being too strong? Nah…if you think about it there are some members of the guild that are really strong like Natsu, Erza, Grey, Mirajane and the like. The others are too but not to a great extent. Now Naruto just beat Madara who makes almost anyone look weak in comparison so really do you think the members who aren't depicted as really strong would stand a chance against him?

Now since I described Naruto's new outfit I would really like to see some artists make a picture of Naruto with all of the clothing and accessories I just put in. If I did not mention color then you are free to choose your own, I will post my favorite onto my profile and if a new one comes in that I like more I will replace the old link on my profile with the new one.

Hinata no Yuusha – literally: A shining place's hero. In context: Hinata's hero, where Hinata was writing in the third person. Can also be seen in context as: Hero in the sun.

Any questions? Feel free to ask!
