Disclaimer: Nothing in these two franchises belongs to me.


-Fairy Tail-

Fairy Tail was enjoying another day of well-being Fairy Tail with virtually everyone either brawling or drinking and dancing. At the bar was a little old man with a goofy get up and another old man with no shirt but he was wearing black pants and boots.

To the left of them was a pink haired woman with a small smile taking tiny sips of her drink every now and then. To their right was a man with orange hair and a subtly beard he was laughing his ass off while drinking but mostly spilling most of his drink.

Everyone was having fun with the little ones in the guild being in the corner playing or practicing their magic. That is until they all heard the church bells ring and cannons go off in the distance. The moment those two things happened they all stopped what they were doing.

''Do you guys hear that?'' Natsu asked no one in particular all he got was wide smiles.

''NARUTO'S BACK!'' the guild screamed.


-Magnolia east forest-

Naruto was walking with a deadpanned look on his face giving that both Erza and Mirajane were clinging to his arms and giving each other the death glare. Elfman and Lisanna watched on with humor at his misfortune well Elfman didn't know what to actually think at the moment.

''Lay off him whitey.'' Erza fired at her.

''Make me tomato.'' Mirajane hissed right back.

''Ladies can't we all just be friends?'' Naruto tiredly asked for the thousandth time.

Before either could respond, they heard bells and cannon fired in the distance and the Strauss siblings jumped up at hearing the cannons.

''What was that!'' Mirajane asked still a little scared at a cannons being fired.

''That is how all of Magnolia knows that Naruto has returned.'' Erza said while looking at Naruto.

''They couldn't make it just bells like Gildarts.'' Naruto mumbled while he kept on walking.

The Strauss siblings just followed them from behind in case it wasn't what they said it was.


-30 minutes later-

Half an hour later, the five of them made it to the town and Mirajane along with her brother and sister were surprised at seeing a huge crowd at the entrance to the town.

''NARUTO-SAMA!'' they heard from somewhere in the crowd people screaming out his name.

Naruto just kept on walking while smiling and waving at random people as he walked by. Mirajane and her sibling were a little nervous at the amount of eyes on them. Erza seeing this just smirked and decided to taunt her a little before she felt a hand on her shoulder and saw Naruto shake his head at her.

Erza getting the message to a certain extent knew that Mirajane might be a little nervous considering everywhere she went people thought of her as a monster because of her demonic hand.

So Erza instead placed her right hand on Mirajane's shoulder while giving her a smile to which Mirajane returned if only briefly.

They continued to walk until they saw it, Fairy Tail sitting at the edge of town overlooking it with the ocean behind it. The closer they got the more Mirajane and her brother and sister grew nervous.

Finally, after what felt like hours, they made it to the doors of the guild and Naruto stopped and placed his hands on them. He looked back at them and before opening them he smiled and said.

''Welcome to Fairy Tail!'' Naruto shouted while opening the doors.

The moment they opened up fully Mirajane was awestruck seeing all the members inside cheering and screaming their heads off.

She saw mugs flying around, she saw men and women smiling and laughing while others started to dance. However, most of all she saw the love and bonds everyone had, everyone acted as if a lost member of their family had finally returned from the dead.

She saw everyone come up to Naruto, pat him on the back of shake his hand, and hug him. She smiled gently seeing how everyone loved him and how everyone enjoyed his company.

''Naruto, my boy.'' Everyone stopped when they heard that voice.

From the crowd came a short old man with a taller old timer to his left and a pink haired woman to his right.

''Oh master how are you?'' Naruto asked while walking towards him.

''Fine my boy just fine… so how was your quest?'' The master asked.

''It went great master you can chalk up another perfect job done on my chart!'' Naruto joked out.

When everyone heard that, the entire guild roared in excitement with music starting to play out of nowhere.

''I think I'm gonna like it here.'' Mirajane said while looking at everyone have fun.

Erza smiled and accompanied her with surveying the guild members have their fun over Naruto's accomplishments.

''This is nothing compared to what they do on a regular basis.'' Erza told her

Both girls looked at one another and laughed out while Naruto watched them have fun from the second floor with Gildarts and Laxus.

''Tch… they should learn to be more professional.'' Laxus said with a twitching eyebrow.

''Where's the fun in that?'' Naruto said without looking back at him.

''This is Fairy Tail after all we know how to party over the smallest things!'' Naruto laughed out with Gildarts joining in.

Laxus just huffed and left with his hands in his pockets while putting on his headphones and blasting his music in a special lacrima that just came out.


-Ground Floor-

Back at the bar, the master watched Laxus leave with an annoyed face and sighed thinking on what to do with his grandson. Before he could think more on it, he saw Erza walk towards him with three others.

''Master Makarov I'd like to present you to the Strauss Siblings… Mirajane Strauss, Elfman Strauss, and Lisanna Strauss they wish to join our guild.'' Erza introduced them making Makarov looked them over and smile.

''Sure Miss Yuki here will get you all set up.'' Makarov said while chugging his drink.

'Things will only get more interesting from here on out.'

Makarov thought with a huge smile and a blush from his alcohol drink.


-2 Years Later-

'Time really does fly when one spends it with the people they love huh?' those where the thought of none other than the fourteen year old Naruto Heiwa.

In the two years that past, he had change from how he was back then now standing at an impressive 5'10''. Now though he had slicked his hair back like Gildarts and had taken up wearing a cloak like him only his was pitch black with white shoulder padding and lining. Under the cloak, he wore a skintight black short-sleeved shirt with baggy combat pants and steel toe boots with both his arms bandaged like a boxer.

He was much more muscular than before with rippling abs and big biceps for his age. His magic had only grown larger and far denser than before, while also learning more magic types with some being lost magic, ancient magic and forbidden magic.

He had become known and not just in Fiore but the neighboring countries as well. He had been asked to join the Wizard Saint but turned it down much to everyone's shock. He had also turned down a position on the council when questioned while he said that he would take the position until he was gone.

Back in Fairy Tail though out of all their fights Naruto started to beat Gildarts virtually every time much to the guild surprise. Moreover, his relationship with his girls deepened with Mirajane joining in making him the envy of the men.

His job score if anyone look they would see it was literally a thousand completed jobs and zero failed. Makarov boasted about him in every Guild Master meeting to anyone that would listen. With him in the guild, they were getting more jobs and a lot more members.

However, right now we find him walking toward the guild since the master himself had called for him and Gildarts so he had gone to get him before heading over to see what the old man wanted.

''Hey do you know why the old man wanted to see both Aces?'' Naruto questioned.

''Nah I haven't been to the guild in two days since I just got back from a job so I decided to sleep in.'' Gildarts said while yawning.

''You two huh… man being an Ace sucks big time, since I never have enough time to spend with my ladies and when I do I have to cut it short because a new job comes up.'' Naruto whined but didn't push it since he knew what being an Ace meant.

''Sucks to be you man, that's why I only get my freak on with girls outside the guild and only when I'm on my job since that means once I'm done I can book it before the girl wants a commitment.'' Gildarts joked making Naruto laugh.

After that, they stayed in a comfortable silence since they both enjoyed the peace and quiet of the morning. That was another thing that he love about his life so far and it was that he had three of the most beautiful girls in the guild as his girlfriends.

He loved each one the same always showing them the same amount of affection and no less. The girls at first didn't know how to feel about it but over time started to get along with each other. If Mira, Erza, and Juvia fighting all the time meant getting along than yea, they were getting along just fine.

As they continued to walk, they saw the guild-hall in the distance and walked a little faster to see what the old man wanted this time.


-Guild Hall- Masters Office-

Naruto and Gildarts made up the stairs with no problem seeing as everyone were still sleeping or were out on a job right now. When they made it to the Masters office, they had knocked but had gotten no answer.

After about three knocks and no answer, they went inside to find the Master asleep on his desk making them sigh. Naruto went up and nudged him awake and when the Master began to stir, he went back to standing with Gildarts.

''Yo Master what's up?'' Naruto asked him making the old man blink before remembering something.

''Ah yes sorry about having to wake me my boy… but I have a very special job for you Naruto.'' The Master said while serving himself some water he had on hand.

''Sure what is it?'' Naruto asked while looking at him.

''I wish for you to do this job for me.'' Makarov said while tossing him a rolled up flyer.

Naruto opened it up with Gildarts looking over his shoulder and what they both saw shocked them.

''WHAT!'' both screamed at the same time.

''Master this is a one thousand year quest!'' Naruto yelled out while Gildarts fainted.

''Yes it is my boy and I have absolute confidence that you will complete it.'' Makarov told him with a grandfatherly smile making him pause.

''W-when do I leave Master?'' Naruto asked him.

''Immediately Naruto.'' Makarov said to him.

''Can I leave tomorrow Master I wish to say good-bye to everyone today?'' Naruto asked.

The Master thought it over and after finding; nothing wrong with it nodded his head and smiled at him again.

''Very well but remember you are still far too young to be a father ok.'' Makarov teased him making Naruto blush red.

''W-we haven't d-done anything like that y-you dirty old man!'' Naruto screamed at him making Makarov laugh out.

''Well you best be going if you wish to say good-bye to everyone.'' Makarov laughed out.

''Fine.'' Naruto huffed out while walking out.


-Ground Floor-

On the ground, we find all of the younger generation of the guild hanging out together either eating or playing board games.

''Hey, Mira where's big brother Naruto at?'' Lisanna asked while looking at her with a little blue cat in her arms.

''Hell if I know I went to his apartment in the morning and he wasn't home.'' Mira told her while eating a sandwich.

''Well I was with the master this morning Mira.'' Naruto's voice rang out making them look up to see him walking down the stairs.

''Naruto how are you?'' Mira meekly asked.

No matter how strong she got whenever she was around Naruto she would turn back to that frighten little girl he met. She would act meekly, shy, and she would trip on her own words.

Naruto just made her feel so happy and safe at the same time she had never felt like this before and for some reason she loved this feeling. No one dared say anything to her about it fearing her wrath.

''So Naruto are we still on for our date tomorrow?'' Mira asked excitedly before seeing his face turn sad.

''You got another job huh?'' she said more than asked.

''Yea and not just any job but a thousand year quest.'' He stated making them all freeze in shock.

''A-a thousand year quest.'' Erza managed to get out.

''Yea so I was thinking we should have a get together and hang out before I leave tomorrow.'' He said making them all nod still a little shocked at him taking such a job.

''Meet me at my place at noon ok.'' Naruto told them before leaving them.

As he walked out the guild-hall he was stopped by his three girls.

''Naruto wait up!'' he stopped and turned around and saw that it was Erza who called out for him.

''Yea what is it Er…'' He didn't get to finish because the three of them hugged him.

''Please take care ok I… we don't know what we'd do without you.'' Mira said while they hugged him tighter.

''I promise on my life to come back to you three alive and well.'' He said while hugging them all back and kissing each of them on the forehead.

''Come on let's go home and get ready for this going away party.'' With that, all four left and went to their shared apartment building.

Erza being the one who didn't live in the build having decided to stay at Fairy hills and help out Yukino the best she could.

Juvia had lived there for about two weeks before moving in with Naruto not liking being this far away from him. Mira shared one entire floor with her siblings with Naruto and Juvia's floor being right above them. Erza though did stay the majority of the time in his apartment.


-Naruto's Home-

After about two hours of getting everything ready people started to come and hang out while going up to Naruto and wishing him best of luck on this new quest of his.

''I still can't believe that you're going on a thousand year quest.'' Came the voice of Simon said while he came up to him and extended his hand.

''Yea I can't believe either.'' Naruto answered with a smile and took his hand with his own.

After that he spend the rest of the night hugging the little ones like Millianna, Sho, Lisanna, and even if they don't admit it Natsu and Gray.

''Thank you all for coming and for believing in me and I promise I will come back with Fairy Tail's first ever completed one thousand year quest!'' Naruto exclaimed while holding his drink in the air for a cheer.

Everyone cheered with him and after that, everyone started to go crazy once more with everyone dancing and chatting away. It wasn't until nearly midnight did the party end.


-Next Morning-

The next morning all of Fairy Tail and a majority of the people of Magnolia were at the main entrance to the town to see Naruto off.

Erza, Mira, Juvia and surprisingly Cana were at the front hugging Naruto one last time and kissing him on the lips or in Cana's turn on the cheek.

''Well I'll be off Master so please take care of yourself I don't want to return learning that you retired because you weren't careful.'' Naruto said while extending his hand.

''Don't worry my child I'll be fine.'' Makarov waved off his concern with a smile.

With that said Naruto picked up his bag and flung it onto his shoulder and smiled at everyone one last time before turning around and walking off. As he walk out he raised his right hand in Fairy Tails legendary farewell symbol.

Everyone last member of Fairy Tail along with some of the people of Magnolia copied him.

''Bye big brother take care!'' those were the shout of Lisanna, and Millianna.

With all that love and support, there was no way he would fail this job everyone believed in him too much. He would come back stronger and better than ever and show the world that Fairy Tail was the best guild to want to join.

How long will he be gone for and what would be the result of his job will he fail or will he succeed were all others failed. You will have to stay tuned for the next chapter to find out my friends.
