Knock! Knock! Knock!

Naruto and Kurama woke up hearing their front door being knocked on... both tried ignoring the knocking but whoever kept knocking was quite consistent.

"Open...the door...Kurama..." Naruto mumbled in a half-sleepy state.

"No...you open it...lazy bastard..." Kurama mumbled back.

"I...I...opened it last time..." Naruto stated.

"No you didn't! I opened it the last three times..." Kurama snapped at the blond.

"Same thing furball," The blond shrugged his shoulders while trying to go back to sleep.

Kurama ignored the blond and the knocking continued - after five minutes of knocking the blond got up from the livingroom couch and he stumbled towards the door, he opened it and snapped, "What the hell do you want?!" At the person in front of him.

"Good morning Mr. Uzumaki..." Came the polite greeting from a green messenger frog.

Naruto blinked before asking, "What does that shitty Magic Council want?"

"The Magic Council want you for a job," The Messenger Frog told the blond.

"Fine... give me five minutes to change..." The blond shrugged his shoulders and turned around.

The messenger frog looked at him in surprise, "You're accepting the job? I was told it would be hard to get you to accept a job..." The frog admitted.

Kurama chuckled before saying, "My boy Naruto here is broke as fuck, we've been doing every job thrown at us this past week, " The furball stated, "With rent just around the corner he's finally being a bit responsible." He continued to say. The Frog only nodded.

Five minutes later Naruto was all ready, Kurama got up from the couch and flew towards Naruto's head, once on top of the blond's head the blond closed the door behind him and along with the frog they headed towards the Magic Council Meeting Hall, Era!


Magic Council Meeting Hall, Era!


Arriving to Era, Naruto followed the Council's Bitch - err Messenger Frog inside the Magic Council building. They walked in silence for a good five minutes before the messenger frog opened a door for the blond, he walked inside while the messager frog closed the door behind him.

Inside the room he walked in, Naruto saw all Council members sitting down around a circular table - looking around the room Naruto noticed Team Natsu standing a few feet away from the table.

They noticed him too and Natsu yelled, "Hey! What is he doing here?" The pinkette glared at Naruto who made his way towards Team Natsu.

"He will also be doing the Job with Team Natsu," Org said in a rather annoyed tone.

"Well, we don't need him," Natsu said, not taking his eyes off of Naruto, "We can do the job just fine without him - we don't trust him... I don't trust him after he attacked Fairy Tail!" He clenched his fists.

"Oi, chill out pinky," Naruto stated, "The past is the past, do you think a girlfriend dwells on her boyfriend when he breaks up with her? No, she gets over him and moves on with life!"

"You do anything for money," The pinkette ignored his remark, "I don't know what job the council called us for but I can't trust a man who could possibly betray us over money..."

"Aww, you think that low of me? I'm hurt pinky," Naruto said in a fake-hurt tone, making Natsu growl.

"Aye," Happy agreed with his pinky haired companion.

Erza nodded while adding her two cents, "Weeks back this man was hired to take one of our members away from the guild... during that time he tricked Phantom Lord into attacking Fairy Tail... in the end he joined in and helped Fairy Tail but I believe it was to save his own ass... I simply cannot put my faith in a mercenary... he could betray us at any given moment." She told the council.

"I can see where you kids are coming from..." Org admitted while eyeing Naruto, the blond didn't really seem to care that they were talking bad about him, "But... the job requires the strongest mages around... Team Natsu is known as the strongest Team in Fairy Tail... and Naruto has quite the reputation for being strong..." The old man admitted. Even if he did not like Fairy Tail, he really needed Team Natsu and Naruto to help the Council out.

"What do you want us to do?" Gray suddenly asked the Magic Council members.

This piqued the curiosity of his friends and Naruto who looked at the Magic Council questioningly.

"Eight years ago...a cult that worshiped dark magic invested large amounts of money to build these huge tower like things that we call R-System... the cult managed to build seven of these R-System throughout the seas... however we managed to destroy all seven of those R-System..." Org explained to the mages as calmly as possible.

"Huh?" Natsu looked confused, "I'm guessing you want us to destroy an R-System but you just said that you guys destroyed all seven..." He stated.

"I think they forgot to destroy one more... so there's probably still one somewhere in the ocean," Lucy managed to say while looking at Org.

The old man sighed, "Correct... we thought it was impossible that there'd be one more... but Siegrain here ended up locating the last R-System..."

Siegrain looked at Org in annoyance, "It's called the Tower of Heaven!"

"What difference does it make?!" Org growled at him, "We must have that thing destroyed!"

"Yeah, it must be destroyed at all cost," Added an old council-woman, "Siegrain said the R-System is just off the coast of Akane Resort..."

"The Intel we got says that the Tower of Heaven is completed," Ultear said with a slight smirk, "We have to send Team Natsu and Naruto off as soon as possible... because the tower is under the supervision of Jellal... not only is he a strong man but he's Siegrain's brother, isn't that right Siegrain-chan?" Ultear said with a smirk.

Siegrain nodded, "He's always been the foolish brother..." He said while looking at Erza who looked scared and frozen up as she heard the council talk about the Tower of Heaven.

Everyone turned to Erza, they could see her shaking and scared as if she was remembering some very bad memory - one that she would rather forget.

"N-No! W-We will not be accepting this job!" Erza managed to stutter out.

"WHAT?!" Org yelled at Erza, he gave her the meanest glare he could muster.

"Whoa... are you o-okay?" Gray asked with a worried voice.

"I-I don't think I've ever seen her like this..." Lucy whispered to Natsu.

The pinkette nodded and said, "A-Aye! A scared Erza is creeping me the fuck out!"

Erza took a deep breath before saying, "Let me do the job alone... I'll go alone..."

"SAY WHAT?!" Natsu and Gray yelled out.

"What's going on?!" Lucy asked the redhead, "This isn't like you!"

The council member's looked at her in surprise before Org spoke, "It's true that you are indeed strong Titania... but even I don't think you're strong enough to do this job alone... so no, this is a Job that Team Natsu and Naruto must complete!" He yelled out the last part.

"I don't think Naruto is needed for this job, he should just go die in a ditch," Siegrain added while looking at Naruto who was reading a Manga. "Shit...Naruto is strong... if he ends up going to the Tower of Heaven my plans could be ruined... all I need is Erza to sacrifice and her foolish friends to amuse me..." Siegrain thought while scowling.

Ultear agreed with the blue haired man, "Even I agree with Siegrain... he is not needed here... I don't think the council should be spending money to hire a unreliable and irresponsible man..."

"Naruto will be going!" Org snapped at Siegrain and Ultear.

"Oi, you heard the man - he clearly sees a smart investment in me, right old man?" The blond haired mage smirked at Siegrain who growled.

"Tch," Org hissed in annoyance before saying, "A ship is waiting at the port... just make sure you stop Jellal and his goons... I don't want to go to Plan B..." He mumbled the last part.

Team Natsu and Naruto nodded as they walked out of the room.


There they were, the group was on a ship that was getting ready to set sail. Natsu was groaning and belching whIle sticking his head out the ship in case he puked.

"The boat hasn't even set sail!" Lucy sweat-dropped while looking at Natsu.

"Still..." The pinkette mumbled before turning around to see Naruto perfectly fine, "HEY! WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING MOTION SICKNESS?! WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?!" He asked the blond.

"I always drink an entire gallon of Bleach before getting on any transportation," The blond said.

"Ha ha ha... very funny," The pinkette rolled his eyes before going back to being sick.

Meanwhile, Erza was sitting on the ground... he arms were wrapped around her legs.. she had been quiet ever since she heard the Magic Council talk about the Tower of Heaven.

Her friends and even Naruto noticed that something was definitely something wrong with her, all of them minus Naruto had tried asking what was wrong but she would not say anything.

Suddenly, their ship started sailing...

Erza felt nervous... she was going back to the place that would sometimes plague her with nightmares... The place that made her childhood a living hell.

"Whoa... so thats the Tower of Heaven..." Lucy said with wide eyes as she stared at the glorious Tower of Heaven.

She wasn't the only one staring at the Tower of Heaven with awe in her eyes. Everyone stared at the huge Lacrima Tower in front of them with awe, except for Erza her eyes showed awe and fear.

"So what's the plan?" Gray whispered to the group.

They were currently hiding behind some rocks as they stared at some stairs made of stone... the stairs led to the inside of the Tower of Heaven... normally they would of taken the stairs but they were heavily guarded.

"That's a lot of guards..." Lucy said with worry in her voice.

"Who the hell cares? Let's kick their ass!" Natsu said while punching the palm of his hand.

"No..." Erza said sternly, "We need to save as much magic as possible... we need to find another way into the Tower without being caught..." The redhead stated.

At that moment, behind them a blue haired girl popped out of the water - she was Juvia Lockser... she was part of Phantom Lord's Element Four - she ended up being defeated by Naruto and after the disband of the guild she had no goal besides stalking Gray, who tried his best to ignore her, and so she had followed Team Natsu into the Tower of Heaven.

"You stalked me here too?!" Gray said with disbelief as soon as he noticed Juvia.

"Juvia, came to protect her Gray-sama from the clutches of that blonde bimbo!" The bluette stated while giving Lucy a cold glare.

Lucy sweat-dropped, "I'm not after Gray or anything... he isn't even my type!"

"When a girl says "he isn't my type" it means he totally is her type! Juvia must wipe you out now!" The Ex-Phantom Mage said with hostility.

Before anything else could be said Erza spoke, "Excellent! Juvia... you're a water mage, correct? Can you look around underwater to see if you can find any hidden passage or anything?" She asked the bluette.

"That's a great idea!" Gray's eyes lit up, "Can you please?" He asked after.

Juvia blushed and nodded, "If Gray-Sama wants Juvia to do it she will gladly do it... I'll be right back!" She said before disappearing into the water.

"Oi, well have fun swimming," Naruto finally spoke up, "I'm gonna introduce myself like normal people do it and smash my way through the front door, later."

"There's nothing normal about that!" Lucy said while face-palming.

He was about to get up but Erza suddenly tackled him to the ground, she was on top of him pinning him down while he looked up at her, "What's the deal?" He asked the redhead, "Don't tell me you want to fuck now or something? Do you want the Tower of Heaven in my pants so bad?" He smirked at her.

"Didn't Brandish shrink it to the size of a shrimp? I think you mean the Tower of Shrimp," Kurama chuckled while making fun of the blond.

"Oi, furball it went back to normal and shuddup! We must never speak of that moment!" The blond remarked as he looked at Erza.

The redhead glared at him, "Like I'd want you, you stupid man..."

"Then would you get off of me? You're really heavy! You're going to flatten me like a pancake!"

"Are you calling me fat?!" She gave him a death glare.

"You must be fat if you weight this fucking much!"

"It's my armor, jerk!"

"Bullshit, it's those tits of yours!"

Erza gave him one last glare before saying, "We cannot be rash... we are in the territory of a very dangerous and evil man... we must do our very best to not get caught.." She continued while shaking slightly.

"Hahaha!" Naruto laughed at her, "Why so shakey and scared? Is this really the "great" Titania?" He mocked the redhead.

Erza without warning swung her fist at his face - seeing the fist about to collide with his jaw he moved his head to the side, her punch almost hitting him by an inch.

"Shut up..." Erza said in a threatening voice, "You don't know what I know... so just shut up.. all I'm asking you is to please lay low!"

"Lemme guess... you're worried are you?" The blond quirked, "Newsflash, booby-chan but unlike your friends I'm totally capable of taking care of myself... now unless you don't plan on rocking my world then you should get off me."

Erza growled but quickly got off of him, "Fine! Go die... see if I care," She said coldly.

Juvia then popped out of the water, "Juvia has found a way to get into the Tower from under water... it's a ten minute swim though..." She told Team Natsu.

"Ten minutes, huh? Piece of cake! We got this!" Natsu grinned.

"Hell yeah!" Gray nodded.

"That's nothing we can't handle," Erza said with confidence.

"HOLDING YOUR BREATH FOR TEN MINUTES IS IMPOSSIBLE NO MATTER HOW OPTIMISTIC YOU GUYS ARE!" Lucy yelled at her friends.

Juvia formed a basketball sized ball of water on her hand and said, "In that case please wear this... it's an orb that uses water to trap oxygen inside... that way you can breath under water..."

"That's cool," Gray said amazed.

"Ha!" Juvia suddenly laughed at Lucy, "Gray-sama actually praised Juvia and not you!" She smirked.

"Uh..huh..." Lucy could only sweat-drop.

Soon afterwards, everyone from Team Natsu had dived into the water - leaving Kurama and Naruto on land. Naruto turned towards the stone stairs and stated at the guards.

"You know..." Kurama spoke out, "Being your friend sucks, while they are down in the water I get to stay up here on land watching you fight! Why didn't we go underwater with em? I bet there's plenty of delicious fish to eat!"

"I sense someone very dangerous..." The blond mumbled, "I don't know if they sensed the person I sensed... but I need to get to them quick..." "Their magic... if I'm not mistaken it belongs to that man..." The blond thought while sighing as he walked off.

Meanwhile, the man behind the Tower of Heaven was named Jellal. He was currently sitting on a throne chair with a smirk on his face.

"It seems Erza and her friends finally made it here," The blue haired man told himself. "Please entertain me Erza... Salamander... and especially you Naruto..." He grinned darkly as he looked at a chess board and moved the pieces.

The Heaven's Game had started!


Team Natsu along with Juvia, they were swimming deep underwater below the Tower Of Heaven, around their heads they had a bubble of water with air inside to prevent them from drowning. The team continued to swim deeper and deeper into the water until they reached a tunnel under the Tower Of Heaven.

One by one, they each entered the tunnel, they continued swimming through the tunnel until at last the team burst out of the water to see themselves in a huge room made of land.

"Where are we?" Lucy asked as she got out of the water and looked around.

"It appears that we are underneath the Tower," Erza said while she too looked around.

"It looks like the basement," Gray added his two cents.

It was then that a group of guards spotted Team Natsu and yelled, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

"THEY ARE INTRUDERS!"

"KILL THEM!"

Natsu grinned, "Who are we? WE ARE FAIRY TAIL!" He yelled as his entire body blazed up with flames,"..and we are here to kick your asses!" He continued to say as he charged at the guards, "Fist Of The Fire Dragon!" He yelled at last as he cocked back his fist and then swung it at incoming guards. He landed the punch on one guard and the guard flew into three other guards before they all rocketed backwards.

"I couldn't have said it better myself, flamebrain," Gray smirked before he yelled, "Ice Make: Hammer!" a huge hammer made of Ice formed above another group of guards before smashing into them, the guards then flew throughout the place.

"Water Slicer!" Juvia then yelled while pointing one of her hands at another group of guards.

"Open Gate Of The Crab!" Lucy yelled as she summoned her crab spirit, the crab spirit then used his scissors to cut down his opponents like the badass that he was.

And finally Erza could be seen striking down her opponents like a boss cause you know she's Erza.

In a matter of minutes, the fodder mother fuckers were all on the ground knocked out and wishing they had chosen other careers. But that's to be expected when you take on Team Natsu. The group continued to look around until Natsu heard a creak, looking up the pinkette noticed a small door leading up to the surface of the Tower of Heaven opening up.

"Oi, anyone down here? Natsu I smell you, you down there?" The group sighed in relief when they heard Naruto yelling.

"Yeah, we're down here," The pinkette replied while walking towards the ladder that lead to the surface, "We're coming up," He stated as he started climbing the ladder.

Moments later, Team Natsu was inside the Tower of Heaven. They looked at Naruto who like usual looked like he was bored out of his mind. They could see guards all over the ground that had been knocked out by the blond.

"Hahaha," The blond started laughing at Team Natsu, "Ya suckers had to go through all that trouble just to get inside the Tower of Heaven, guess what? They have been expecting us!" He stated while pointing at a table filled with food.

"Shuddup you bastard," Natsu growled at the blond before running over to the food, "HEY GUYS THERE'S SOME TASTY LOOKING FOOD HERE!" He yelled excitedly as he started eating the food.

"Don't eat all the food without us flamebrain!" Gray yelled out as he ran towards the table.

"Is there fish?" Happy asked as he flew towards the food.

"I call dibs on the ramen, If you punks dare touch my ramen I'll kill you!" Naruto said as he walked over to the table.

"Gray-Sama, wait for me Juvia wants to eat with you!" Juvia yelled as she ran after Gray.

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING? EATING FOOD FROM THE ENEMY?! IT COULD BE A TRAP!" Lucy yelled with disbelief at what her friends were doing.

"It's one tasty trap," Kurama stated before munching on a fish.

"Aye!" Happy agreed.

"We might as well join them," Erza said as she started walking towards the table. She however stopped walking when she noticed a group of familiar people roped up and leaning on a wall. Her eyes widened, "Sho... Simon... Wally...Millianna..." The redhead whispered, as she realized who they were.

"Oi, I bumped into them on my way here," Naruto spoke up as he noticed Erza walking over to them, "They were looking for you so I decided to drag them around until I found you," He stated.


Flash Back


"Lightning Dragon's Roar!" Naruto yelled as he shot out a raging beam of lightning at a group of guards, the guards were hit by the lightning and they cried out in pain before dropping to the ground.

The blond then sniffed the air, "I'm getting closer..." He mumbled as he proceeded to walk throughout the Tower of Heaven.

"Heh, you look worried blondie," Kurama couldn't help but say as he stared at the blond, "Don't tell me you're scared of this dangerous person than you can smell."

"I'm not scared," The blond stated, "I just don't feel like fighting someone who is Immortal!"

"Oh?" Kurama cocked an eyebrow.

But before anything else could be said a group of four appeared in front of the blond, one of them looked like an emo, another one looked like a blockhead, one was a female that looked like a cat, and the last one was the tallest with an eye patch over his eye.

"Hahaha, it seems we found one of them," Sho, the emo looking one stated. "It seems Jellal's plan is going as planned..." Sho grinned as he stared at Naruto.

"You... where is Erza, you came into the Tower with her and her friends... so tell us where she is," Simon asked the blond.

"Ohh, he has a cute cat," Millianna said happily, "I'm going to take him and he will be mines!"

"Hurry up and tell us where Erza is," Wally, the blockhead looking mother fucker spoke, "We have to get her..." He whispered.

"Huh? Erza? Whose that? What's that? Erza? That name doesn't ring a bell... oh wait, isn't Erza the name of a deadly STD?" The blond asked them.

"Tch," Sho looked annoyed, "Don't play stupid!" He shouted out.

"Really I don't know who you're talking about," The blond shrugged his shoulders before he started walking past the group, "I have to go to the bathroom and take a shit." He said as he proceeded to walk past the four.

"Nekosoku Tube!" As the blond walked he heard Millianna yell this out, turning around he saw a weird looking rope heading for him, the rope wrapped itself around one of his arms and Millianna smirked, "You aren't going anywhere, blondie."

"Hurry up and tell us where Erza is before we kill you!" Sho yelled out.

Naruto looked at the rope and Simon spoke, "Don't try anything, this rope prevents you from using Magic so you're basically useless right now."

"Is that so?" Naruto cocked an eyebrow.

Wally looked at Naruto and growled, "Tch, don't act cocky!" As his entire right arm turned into a rifle which he aimed at Naruto's head.

Naruto only smirked and he grabbed the rope wrapped around his arm, he started pulling on it causing Millianna who held the other end of the rope to fly towards him, in a matter of seconds she was in front of Naruto who had taken her hostage.

"WAAAH, LET GO OF ME!" Millianna yelled as she struggled to free herself.

"This girl is my hostage now," The blond stated, "So put your weapons down before I Grope her."

"You wouldn't dare grope her!" Wally yelled out.

"Try me!" Naruto yelled back.

"Seriously don't try him," Kurama stated, "My boy Naruto over here is an S-Ranked Groper!"

"No w-way an S-Ranked Groper?" Simons eyes widened, "I've heard that only the best of the best become S-Ranked Gropers!"

"Tch," Sho hissed before raising his hands to the air, "Don't do anything to Millianna... see we have our hands in the air now let her go..." He said as the three men lifted up their hands to the air.

Naruto quickly pushed Millianna towards the trio, they caught her quickly and as they caught her the blond yelled, "Lightning Dragon's Blast!" he pointed one of his palms at the trio and a lightning blast headed for them - they got hit by the blast and the four dropped to the ground.

"Take...us...to...Erza...please... I am...on...her...side..." Simon said as he saw darkness.


Flash Back Ends.


"So yeah that's basically what happened," Naruto told the redhead.

The redhead nodded and she quickly removed the rope around them while shaking them, "Sho.. Wally... Simon... Millianna please wake up..." She whispered.

"Do you know them?" Lucy couldn't help but ask.

Before Erza could reply Sho woke up and spoke, "Yeah she knows us... she was our friend until she betrayed us!" He yelled while tears streamed down his eyes.

Erza looked down on the ground, "I did it to protect you..."

"TO PROTECT US?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Sho screamed at Erza, "You left us... it was Jellal who stayed with us!"

"No..." Erza shook her head.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Natsu asked, he was confused to what was going on.

"You know you can tell us anything, right?" Gray smiled at Erza.

Erza sighed and nodded, "I didn't want to come here... I didn't want to do this quest... I was running from my past but it is time I stopped running... I will tell you guys everything... because after this I will fade away... for eternity," She said with sadness in her voice.


Flashback Starts.


Insert Erza's tragic childhood backstory here. [Yeah, I'm skipping this shit, ain't nobody has time to write out Erza's backstory. If you wanna watch it watch the anime or read manga chapters 76 and above.]


Badass Flashback Ends.


"That is what happened all those years ago," Erza said at long last, she had freed herself from the burden of her past at long last.

Her Fairy Tail friends could only stay silent, Erza's past was a dark one. But they could understand her in fact their respect for her had increased... and Naruto... well he was no therapist so he decided to read a Manga while Erza spilled her tragic past... really what a lousy hero.

"So I will fight Jellal..." Erza said at last with determination in her voice, "We must stop him before he uses the Tower of Heaven to revive the dark wizard Zeref..."

"Zeref, huh? The one that created Delioria..." Gray clenched his fists.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Revive Zeref?" Everyone turned to Naruto to see him laughing, "God, that is one hell of a good joke," The blond continued to laugh his gut out.

"I don't get what's funny..." Natsu turned to Naruto.

"If only you knew bubblegum," Naruto turned to Natsu with a serious look on his face, one that actually surprised the group.

"N-No, you're lying... that can't be the truth... you betrayed us!" Everyone then turned to Sho who was still processing what Erza had said. "JELLAL SAID SOMETHING DIFFERENT!"

"Oi, you actually believe what Jellal said?" Naruto asked Sho, "I mean sure Erza is a bitch but she isn't one to betray her friends, face it dude you've been told a load of bullshit." The blond said.

"Yeah, we believe Erza she would never betray her friends!" Team Natsu nodded.

Sho clenched his fists, "No... no... it's all a lie, you're trying to trick me!"

"She is telling the truth," It was then that Simon woke up and stood up, "All these years Jellal lied to us and I've waited for this day... for the day Erza came here to stop Jellal!" Simon said as he smiled and gave Erza a hug, Erza smiled back and gave him a hug, "I've missed you Erza!" He said.

"I've missed you too... each and everyone of you," She teared up.

"DAMN IT! ALL THESE YEARS I'VE BEEN LIED TO... I-I'M SORRY ERZA! CAN YOU PLEASE FORGIVE ME?!" Sho yelled out at last as more tears spilled down his cheeks.

Erza smiled, "I forgive you... each and everyone of you I've never forgetten... these last eight years none of you ever left my mind... now that I am stronger I will fight Jellal..." She smiled.

"I've missed you more Erza!" Millianna said as tears streamed down her eyes.

"At long last we are together," Wally grinned as the four hugged each-other.


"It seems that the four of them were useless in the end," Jellal said as he looked at a chessboard, "Defeated by Naruto and then they betray me... but I guess that is what makes things interesting," The blue haired smirked.

Vidaldus Taka, a man under Jellal's command then spoke, "Jellal-sama... it is time for the Trinity Raven to handle this... we will capture Erza Scarlet and proceed with the plan."

"Yeah, because I'm getting fucking bored - I haven't killed a bitch in days, if I don't kill someone soon I'll kill you instead Jellal," A man with hair to his neck stated.

"Always impatient, huh?" Ikaruga, a beautiful woman turned to the man.

"Shut up before I kill you bitch," The man growled.

Kukuro a man that looked like a chicken spoke, "Hidan you really need to calm down."

"Waddya say you fucking chicken you wanna be the first one to be sacrificed to my God Jashin?" Hidan glared at Kukuro who just stayed quiet.

"Very well," Jellal nodded, "The true battle begins now!" He said with a smirk on his face.

The Trinity Raven nodded and they proceeded to walk away as they walked Hidan looked excited, "Naruto you bastard, I can sense you... the last time we were together it was during the Dragon Civil War, hahaha I will enjoy killing you!" He thought with a blood-lust look on his face.

The True Battle at the Tower of Heaven had begun now!


"We need to get Erza out of here..." Sho said with a hint of worry as he stared at the beautiful redhead in front of him. "Jellal really will sacrifice you big sis..." The dark skinned man stated.

"Do not worry about me..." Erza smiled at Sho, "I will take care of Jellal... I will stop him this time..." She promised her friends.

"Like hell you will," Naruto blurted out, they turned to him to see one of his pinky inside his ear, "You just told us your ever so dark backstory, and you're in love with blueberry... so let's face it booby-chan there is no way you'll be able to defeat your boyfriend," He stated.

"He's not my boyfriend!" Erza glared at the blond.

"That's what you say but I bet you wish he was," The blond teased her.

At that moment a small dagger appeared in front of Erza, it flew towards Naruto and it pierced his forehead, causing blood to squirt out while the blond yelled, "OI, YOU BITCH THAT'S SO UNCALLED FOR!" He glared at her.

"It was perfectly called for!"

"You really are lookin' to be sacrificed?! Screw Jellal sacrificing you, I'll sacrifice you to Satan!"

"She is Satan..." Natsu and Gray mumbled at the same time.

Erza quickly turned to them, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"Natsu said it," Gray pointed at the pinkette.

"As if! It was Ice-prick," The pinkette glared at the Ice-mage.

"We are fooling around at a time like this?" Lucy couldn't help but sweat-drop, "We really should focus on stopping Jellal and getting out of here... this tower really gives me the creeps," The busty blonde admitted.

"Lucy is correct," Erza nodded.

"Jellal hired the assassination group known as Trinity Raven," Simon told the group, "They are really strong and deadly so we need to stop them before we stop Jellal..."

Natsu grinned, "There's nothing Fairy Tail can't stop!"

"Oi, I ran out of bubblegum so I'm off to kick some ass," Naruto then said as he started walking away. (Get the reference? XD)

"Yes, let's split up," Erza said while looking at Naruto's back, "It will be much better for us..." She continued to say.

In the end, everyone split up and went their separate ways... Lucy and Juvia ended up following Naruto in the end since they really didn't know what to do, plus Lucy decided it would be better to follow the blond because he was strong.

While the trio walked they walked into a huge room where they saw some dude carrying a electric guitar and wearing a bunch of face paint, he looked at them and yelled, "MWAHAHA WELCOME TO HELL!" He continued to yell while waving his hair.

"You were bullied when you were younger weren't you?!" Naruto blinked while looking at the man whose name was Taka.

Taka only played his guitar, causing a very loud sound wave to hit the trio, "SHUT UP BLONDIE, I WILL SHOW YOU HELL WITH MY ROCK!"

"This music is so horrible," Juvia stated while covering her ears.

Lucy nodded, "It's making my ears bleed."

"It's making my ass hole bleed..." Kurama said casually.

"WHAT YOU HAVE IS HEMORRHOIDS!" Lucy yelled out at the red Exceed.

"You're trying to rip off the main character from Detroit Metal City, aren't ya?" Naruto only questioned the man causing the blood to leave Taka's face.

"SHIT - HE CAUGHT ME?! HE KNOWS I'M A PUSSY TRYING TO LOOK TOUGH BY DRESSING UP AND SAYING I LOVE ROCK, I MUST KILL HIM BEFORE HE SPREADS MY SECRET!" Taka yelled inside his head.

"Give me your guitar and I will show you how true rock and roll is played..." Naruto smiled at Taka.

"Nobody is better than me at playing the guitar," Taka said arrogantly while handing his guitar to Naruto. The moment he gave the guitar to the blond - Naruto swung it fast and hard.

SMASH!

SMASH!

SMASH!

"Hahaha you idiot, you really think I was gonna play rock?! I'll kill you will your own fucking guitar!" The blond only laughed as he repeatedly smashed the guitar on Taka's face.

"Should we stop him?" Juvia asked Lucy.

"Yeah, if we want to die," The blonde sweat-dropped.

After a while Taka was knocked out on the ground, he had been defeated by guitar to the face repeatedly- a worthy way to be defeated! Naruto turned to Juvia and Lucy and his eyes widened at who he saw behind them.

"Watch out!" Naruto yelled out, as Lucy and Juvia turned around to see a dangerous looking man pulling out a three bladed scythe. He swung it and it headed towards the two girls at unseen speeds.

Naruto ran towards Lucy and tackled her to the ground, he knew she wouldn't be able to dodge fast enough... seconds later the blond was on top of Lucy.

"T-Thanks..." He looked at Lucy to see her blushing and thanking him.

"Oi, in manga when a main character saves a babe she has no choice but to fall in love with him, it's tradition that must not be broken so now you have no choice but to fall in love in love with me," The blond grinned as he got up to face someone he knew all too well.

"Yo, Naruto," The man across from him grinned.

"Herpes? Is that you?" Naruto quirked.

"NO YOU IDIOT, IT'S ME HIDAN!" Hidan yelled at the blond before smirking, "I'm surprised ya know... you disappeared four hundred years ago... but now I find out you're here in the present?"

"What is he talking about?" Lucy and Juvia thought as they stared at Naruto who looked at Hidan with a serious look on his face.

"So why don't we catch up," Hidan smirked darkly.

"Get the hell out of here," Naruto quickly turned to Lucy and Juvia.

"B-But-" Lucy starred to speak.

"You'll only get in the way," Naruto told her, "I know you want to spend time with me, so when we get back you can spend time with me in my bedroom," He winked at her.

"AS IF!" Lucy turned red, "I'll leave but not because you told me to! I'll leave because I want to!" The blonde said as she started storming off, "Come on Juvia let's go!" She then said.

"Good Luck Naruto-san," Juvia told Naruto before she ran after Lucy.

"Hahaha oh no you don't, I'll kill you before you can get away!" Hidan yelled happily as he ran towards the two chicks but before he could even reach them, Naruto appeared in front of Hidan and punched him in the face, he slid a few feet backwards and looked at Naruto.

Naruto looked back at him and smirked, "Oops my fist had a muscle spasm."

"Tch," Hidan looked at Naruto in annoyance. The blond haired mage was in front of him smirking at him with that no fucks to give look on his face, "You've always annoyed me Naruto," Hidan continued to say while looking at the blond.

"It's one of my many talents," The blond stated casually.

"I can vouch on that," Kurama grinned.

"A war really changes a man, no?" Hidan added afterwards, "Look at you now Naruto... you went from an annoying little brat that always yelled out "Dattebayo" and "I'll never give up" to a lazy looking man that looks like he doesn't bother wiping his ass because it's too troublesome," The long haired man stated with a grin.

"Oi, it's called character development," Naruto shrugged his shoulders.

"So are you two ladies going to fight to the death or is this a fight of who can pour out their feelings the most?" Kurama spoke out from on top of Naruto's head, "Because if I wanted to listen to two ladies pour out their feelings I would leave to do so, so hurry up and fight!" The red Exceed yelled out excitedly.

"The furball is right," Hidan said with a sadistic grin. Naruto noticed Hidan wrapping a long metal cable around his hand, before pulling the cable back. Naruto tilted his head to the side to see the metal cable connected to Hidan's triple-bladed scythe which was now heading towards him.

Before the blond could do anything Hidan appeared in front him and punched him in the face, with a powerful force Naruto flew backwards towards the incoming blade. The blond quickly shifted his body and avoided being pierced by the scythe... Naruto quickly landed on the floor on two feet and turned to see Hidan charging at him while swinging the scythe that was now on his hands.

Naruto pulled out his wooden blade and blocked the scythe, within seconds both him and Hidan were face to face while trying to overpowereach-other.

"HAHAHA! I don't usually do penetration on the first date but I'll make an exception for you Naruto-chan," Hidan said excitedly while finally overpowering Naruto and pushing him backwards.

The blond flew backwards and crashed into a wall, forming butterfly cracks behind him. "Aww, I feel so special, you're warming my cold black heart with your kind words," Naruto said, his voice dripping with sarcasm as Hidan appeared in front of him while swinging his Scythe.

"THIS IS FOR JASHIN! DIE MOTHER FUCKER!" Hidan yelled out with a crazy look on his eyes.

"WAIT!" Naruto yelled out, causing Hidan to stop his Scythe one inch before it pierced the blond's body, "If you kill me what will you tell your pregnant daughter? That you killed her child's father?" The blond continued to say jokingly.

"HAHAHA!" Hidan fake laughed, "Even before death you dare joke around."

"It's called flirting with death!"

"Flirt your way out of this then," Once again Hidan was about to swing his Scythe at Naruto. This time however Naruto jabbed his blade at Hidan's shoulder before he could do so.

Hidan felt Naruto's wooden blade pierce his right shoulder and exist out the back of his shoulder before the blond kicked him by his stomach, the Immortal man sky rocketed backwards and crashed into the wall across from the one Naruto had crashed into earlier.

"Heh," Naruto looked at Hidan to see him touching the wound on his shoulder, Hidan then looked at his fingers to see blood on them, he licked the blood on his fingers and with a delightful look on his face he said, "I'm so turned on right now." While once again running towards Naruto, "HAHAHA! DURING THE DRAGON CIVIL WAR - YOU WERE A DEMON ON THE BATTLEFIELD! FEARED BY BOTH PEOPLE AND DRAGON'S - SHOW ME THE POWER YOU USED BACK THEN!" He yelled excitedly as he continued to rush at the blond.

"The power of friendship? I guess I could."

"Tch, you know what power I'm talking about - if you don't want to show it to me I'll force it out myself!" Hidan grinned happily as black magic burst out of him.

As he charged at Naruto, Hidan yelled, "Fire Gods Fist Of Judgment!" He disappeared and reappeared in front of Naruto while swinging his right fist coated with black flames.

"Lightning Dragon's Fist!" Crimson Lightning burst out of Naruto's entire right arm and he swung his fist at Hidan's blazed up fist.

Both Magic coated fists smashed into each-other and there was a huge explosion that pushed both of them backwards but as they flew backwards Hidan yelled, "Shadow God's Hand!" a huge hand formed around Naruto and it grabbed him before throwing him towards Hidan who was standing up and looking at the blond that was flying towards him now.

Hidan smirked and then yelled, "Shadow God's Smashing Fist!" He created another huge hand made of Shadow, and the hand closed into a fist that he then swung at Naruto.

Naruto saw the huge incoming fist and yelled, "Lightning Dragon's Claw!" He kicked the giant hand with his foot coated with lightning. As soon as he hit the giant fist it disappeared and Naruto's and Kurama's eyes widened as he saw Hidan yell, "Aqua God's Wave of Wrath!" looking above them they saw a huge wave of water heading right for them.

"HOLY SHIT! WHAT IS THIS DUDE?!" Kurama yelled from on top of Naruto's head, "A GOD?!"

Naruto shook his head, "He sacrifices powerful warriors to GOD's in return those GOD's bless him with portions of their power... I told ya he was quite strong."

"That's it, I want to sit on his head, the only God that has ever blessed you has been the God of Poverty!" Kurama stated as they continued to stare at the huge wave.

"Oi, relax furball, my head is soft and comfy, you won't like that guys head," Naruto said with a grin. The blond was about to do an attack but he was beaten to the punch.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Naruto turned around on see Natsu behind him, the pink haired mage roared out a huge beam of fire that collided with the wave of magic, both the water and the flames collided, causing smoke to fill the air.

"Yo, the hero is here to save the day!" Natsu said with a toothy grin as he walked towards Naruto.

"Oi, I don't need your help so go back from where you came from," Natuto told the pinkette.

"As if! Seeing an attack like the water wave got me all fired up," Natsu grinned as he now stood besides Naruto and faced Hidan.

"Oh?" Hidan cocked an eyebrow, "Is this your friend Naruto-chan? why don't you introduce me.." the crazy man said with a smirk on his face.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel, a mage of Fairy Tail," Natsu introduced himself.

"Dragneel?" Hidan's eyes widened before laughing, "HAHAHAHAHA! IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE NOW NARUTO! WITH THE HELP OF THE BLACK MAGE ZEREF YOU CAME TO THE FUTURE NO?" Hidan continued to say.

Before Naruto could reply Natsu interrupted, "I don't know what the hell is going on," Natsu said confused, "But I don't like you so I'm kicking your ass!" the pinkette yelled as he charged at Hidan, "Fist Of The Fire Dragon!" He yelled as he continued to charge at Hidan.

"Fire Gods Fist!" Hidan yelled as well as Natsu appeared in front of him. Before the pinkette could land a hit on Hidan - Hidan's fist smashed into his face.

"AGHHHHHH MY FACE!" Natsu yelled as he slid backwards before Naruto caught him.

"His God Flames are dangerous to you..." Naruto told the pinkette while looking at Hidan who was now grinning like mad.

"I wonder... if i kill your friend will that piss you off Naruto?" Hidan said with a smirk.

"FUCK THAT I AIN'T DYING!" Natsu yelled out as he once again charged at Hidan. As he charged at Hidan, the Immortal man yelled, "Death God's Bellow!" he sucked in air and then shot out wretched beam of black magic out his mouth.

"Shit... that's the Magic I was scared of him using... what kind of shitty God blesses this idiot with death magic?!" Naruto thought as he ran towards Natsu and tackled him out of the way before the beam of black magic could hit him.

"What the hell?!" Natsu growled as he looked up at Naruto who on top of him.

"Oi, idiot, how stupid are you? do you have the IQ of a can of sardines? that's death magic if you get touched by it you'll die," Naruto told the pinkette as he got up and faced Hidan.

"Death God's Wave!" Hidan then yelled as he swiped both of his hands, a wave of black magic burst out and it headed right towards the duo.

"Lightning Dragon's Roar!" Naruto opened his mouth, and out came a beam of lightning that headed right towards the incoming waves. As soon so both attacks collided there as a huge explosion.

"HAHAHA! ABOVE YOU NARUTO!" Naruto then heard Hidan yell, looking up the blond saw Hidan above him, shoot out another wave of death magic at him, "HEHE DIE!" Hidan yelled out with a grin.

"Shit..." Naruto thought but before the incoming wave could hit him. The blond was pushed out of the way by Natsu who gave him a toothy grin followed by, "Save Erza Please..."

Naruto's eyes widened as Natsu was hit by the wave of black magic before he fell to the ground, "O-Oi, idiot..." the blond ran towards Natsu and crouched down. He looked at the pinkette to see his brown eyes lifeless.

"Hahaha!" Hidan safely landed on the ground and grinned, "Awww how cute, he saved your life didn't he?"

"..." Naruto didn't speak as he stared at the pinkette.

"Does it remind you of all the comrades you failed to protect during the Dragon Civil War Naruto?" Hidan continued to speak.

"..."

"Once again, someone risked their life to save yours," Hidan mocked the blond, "I bet you're burning in rage now aren't you?" he continued to say.

"I'm going to fucking kill you!" Naruto yelled out all of a sudden as red magic burst out of him. it was a wretched and evil magic. Kurama had to jump out of the blond's head as the red magic that burst out of Naruto started turning bubbly before taking on a form around the blond.

"YES!" Hidan yelled out excitedly, "This is that power you used during the Dragon Civil War... the power of the Nine Tailed Dragon God..." Hidan continued to say as the bubbly red magic took the the shape of a dragon around the blond, "The One Tailed Dragon Cloak... now we're talking..." Hidan grinned as the features of Naruto's face changed as well, his eyes went from blue to cold blood red, he grew sharp fangs and claws, and now he was smirking darkly.

"You're so going to regret this," Naruto smirked demonically, causing shivers to go down Hidan's spine, and without warning Naruto appeared in front of Hidan.

"Dragon God's Lightning Fist!" The blond yelled as his fist smashed hard into Hidan's face. A crack was heard as Hidan with powerful force flew backwards, he crashed into a wall but he broke through it before crashing into another wall - he broke through that wall before at last he crashed into a third wall where he stopped.

Before Hidan could gain his composure, Naruto appeared in front of him in the blink of a fucking eye while smashing a ball of red lightning into his stomach, "Dragon God's Rasengan!" The blond yelled out in rage as he smashed it into Hidan's face.

There was a huge explosion and once again Hidan broke through the wall before crashing into five other walls before at last stopping. Naruto once again without warning appearing in front of Hidan but his time Hidan swung his Scythe at Naruto's neck.

The scythe was merely one inch from slicing off Naruto's head but he swiped his hands and a wave of red magic burst out of him, it pushed Hidan backwards but as it pushed the Immortal man backwards he yelled, "Death God's Bellow!"

The blond was hit by the beam of death magic that headed for him, there was an explosion and Hidan grinned, "Ha! Naruto you got cocky because of your power but you're not match for the power of a-" Hidan was interrupted as the hand from Naruto's Dragon Cloak extended and grabbed him.

The Dragon Cloak's hand then then pulled him closer towards Naruto who hadn't been harmed by his attack, "The power of your shitty God's are no match for me... I'll destroy them just like I'll destroy you!" With his left hand Naruto uppercut Hidan as he was pulled towards him.

Hidan flew upwards the Tower of Heaven, the Immortal man crashed through every ceiling in the Tower of Heaven before at last reaching the top of the Tower where Jellal was fighting Erza who was losing badly.

"Hidan was is the meaning of this?" Jellal asked the man who was getting up from the ground.

"Jellal... you may have to team up with me... I just awakened a monster, hahaahha!" Hidan laughed at the blue haired man.

At that moment Naruto burst through the ground below and yelled, "Dragon God's Sky Roar!" He shot out a powerful beam of wind that hit both Jellal and Hidan - the wind ripped up part of their clothes and flesh as they flew backwards.

"N-Naruto?" The blond heard Erza's voice and he turned to Erza who holding her blade while standing on guard. Naruto said nothing as he appeared in front of her and punched her face - the red head didn't see that coming and she rocketed backwards before crashing into a wall.

"Fire Dragon God's Raging Roar!" Naruto shot out a blazing beam of fire out of his mouth, the beam headed towards Erza and it hit her causing her to scream out in pain.

"Hehe, suffer in pain and die!" The blond grinned darkly as he disappeared and reappeared in front of Erza, he swung his right fight coated with lightning and fire at her. Erza could only stare at Naruto with horror in her eyes - he wasn't the man that she knew.

The man that she knew had a lazy look on his dead fish eyes, but the man in front of had a look of pure murder, he was a machine ready to kill everything in his way, he had the eyes of a predator getting ready to destroy his pray - he was going on kill her?

Before the blond could even land his powerful punch on her, Erza's eyes widened slightly, Simon appeared in front of her, and from there everything happened in slow motion... Naruto's fist smashed into Simons chest - but the fist didn't stop there... the first tore through Simons chest, and out his back and Erza could only watch in horror as blood squirted all over her face and body, she watched in horror as Naruto held Simons heart in his head... but the worst part was that Naruto was smirking evilly - he looked like he had enjoyed it.

He was a monster, the blond had turned into a monster...

"Oh? Such a pathetic fool," Naruto grinned darkly as he dropped Simon's body to the ground like it was a piece of rotting flesh, he continued to hold Simon's heart in his hand and without warning his fist blazed up with fire - burning the heart.

"YOU BASTARD!" Erza yelled with tears in her eyes, she grabbed her blade and swung it at Naruto's face, the blond opened up his mouth and he bit down hard on the incoming blade, causing it to break into chunks of metal pieces, he grabbed one of the pieces and he was going to stab Erza with it but before he could, Jellal in a flash of yellow appeared in front of Naruto and punched his face, as the blond flew backwards he grabbed on to Jellal, and with the piece of blade he was going to stab Erza with he jammed it into Jellal's eye and smirked as blood squirted out.

"AGHHHHH! M-MY EYE!" Jellal yelled out in pain as Naruto grabbed him by his neck and with all his might threw him towards a wall... Jellal crashed into the wall and stayed their while clutching on to the eye that Naruto stabbed.

"You poor bastard, look at you... you have been brainwashed... and now you're going to fucking die... I'm going to put you out of your fucking misery... so bye bye I hope hell welcomes you with open arms," Naruto said darkly while appearing in front of him, "Dragon God's Lightning Blade!" The blond made a blade of lightning and he swung it at Jellal's head - and just like that Jellal's head dropped to the ground - he died with a look of horror on his face.

"Tch, die Naruto just die!" Naruto turned round to see Hidan a few feet behind him while swinging his scythe at him, Naruto quickly swung his lightning blade at Hidan's arm, and he sliced it off causing it to fall down to the ground with his Scythe.

"Tch.." Hidan hissed before backing off slowly, "Come on Naruto-chan... this was all fun and games... you don't need to kill me... I'm your old pal!" He said with fear in his eyes.

Naruto sliced off his other arm and it dropped to the ground as Hidan continued to back off slowly.

"Drop on your knees and beg," Naruto said coldy, "Beg for your pathetic life to be spared!"

Hidan dropped to his knees faster than a hoe ready to give head and he begged for his life, "Please N-Naruto... please don't kill me..." he continued to beg.

Naruto didn't say anything as he swung his lightning blade once again, he sliced off Hidan's head and it dropped to he ground while Hidan yelled, "I BEGGED AND YOU'RE STILL GOING TO KILL ME?!"

"Yes so shut up and die!" Naruto yelled as he stompped on Hidan's face repeatedly, he continued to stomp on his face and head without stopping and without smirking. He continued to do so until Hidan's entire head had been flattened like pancakes... Hidan was now dead.

Naruto turned to Hidan's arms to see both of them flipping him off, "HAHAHAHAH!" he laughed before he turned to Erza who he heard crying. He walked slowly towards her and she noticed it, the red head flinched while yelling, "G-Get away from me y-you monster!"

"Heh, I'll enjoy killing you too!" He laughed as he continued to walk towards her.

At that moment Kurama flew inside the room and he tackled the blond with all his might, Naruto flew towards a wall while glaring at Kurama who yelled, "Snap out of this shit Naruto... I like he old lazy you not this killing machine you!"

"DIE YOU FURBALL!" Naruto yelled as he appeared in front of Kurama and got ready to punch him but as he swung his fist Kurama yelled, "Oi, it's me your buddy... your buddy Kurama!"

Naruto's fist stopped an inch away from Kurama, "K-Kurama?" an image of a powerful red Dragon with nine tails appeared in Naruto's head and then the red bubbly magic surrounding his entire body disappeared and the blond dropped to his knees.

"I... I... went on to rampage again..." The blond clenched his fists as he looked around. Simon was dead. Jellal was dead. Hidan was dead... "That's why I never took fighting seriously... I never learned how to control the powers given to me..." he mumbled underneath his breath.

"Heh," Kurama chuckled, "Jeez blondie, remind me not to piss you off..."

Naruto turned to Erza, she was looking at him other fear, anger, and hatred and he realized that if Erza didn't like him before that she hated him now - he wanted to say sorry but he knew a sorry wouldn't even be enough here - he had killed Simon... Jellal and Natsu was dead.

Before anything else could be done or said, a white light covered the entire Tower... it was a blinding white light and Naruto said, "What's going on?!"

"I have no fucking clue..."

When the white light cleared, the Tower of Heaven looked different, it was now made entirely of Lacrima crystals and in the middle of the room there was now a huge orb/crystal thing and Naruto realized exactly what had happened.

"Kurama... take Erza to Natsu's body and then both get out of here..." The blond smiled sadly.

"What?"

"Just do it furball..."

"Don't tell me you're going to do something foolish..."

"Nah, I'll be out in a bit," The blond told Kurama, Kurama looked at the blond and nodded before the red Exceed flew towards Erza, grabbed her and took off.

"I know what I have to do..." Naruto as he walked the giant crystal in the room, "Maybe I'm just running away... but I will sacrifice myself to give Natsu another chance at life..." the blond told himself she he entered the crystal.

He managed to enter the crystal completely, it was very cold and he felt his body go numb before the blond saw darkness...


Team Natsu was on a boat, they were far away from the Tower of Heaven when it exploded...

"Well it's over now..." Gray smiled sadly.

"Naruto..." Kurama whispered to himself.

Nobody else said a word, the only thing that was heard was crying, Erza was crying and shaking violently... Lucy was crying and Happy was crying as they hugged Natsu's dead body. Erza's other friends were crying as they heard Simon had died.

To them it was truly a sad day... but suddenly they were surprised when Natsu slowly opened his eyes, "W-Why is everyone crying?" he asked.

"NATSU!" Lucy and Happy yelled excitedly and in surprise, "Y-You died... you were dead... what's going on?" the blonde asked.

Natsu looked confused, "Huh? You guys are being weird... I don't feel like I died... I was just knocked out while protecting Naruto... by the way where is he?" he asked.

Nobody said a word and Happy realized what had happened.

"Naruto..." Kurama thought as tears rolled down his cheeks.


Team Natsu had arrived to Fairy Tail at long last... when they arrived to the guild they noticed the guild had finished rebuilding the guild building at long last... it looked even better than before and they would of commented on the guild but they were mostly too gloomy to do so.

Everyone was busy partying but stopped when they felt gloom radiating from Team Natsu who had just entered the guild.

"They finally came back..."

"It seems their quest was a success!"

"They look like shit..."

"Why do they look so gloomy?"

The guild members asked amongst themselves as they watched Team Natsu flop down by the guild bar where Mirajane was working at and where Makarov was currently at. The old man was sitting on top of the guild bars counter.

The old man noticed the sadness in his children's eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Naruto is dead..." Natsu mumbled with a hint of sadness.

"W-What?!" Makarov managed to choke out, he wasn't prepared for that response.

"Wait - did I just hear that correctly?!" Jet who was nearby stood up and he walked over to Team Natsu.

"Y-You're joking right... that bastard can't be dead!" Droy also said as he walked over to her group.

Levy's eyes widened, "It can't be..." She couldn't believe her ears.

"We aren't..." Lucy sighed, "It appears that he sacrificed himself for us in the Tower of Heaven..."

"Well damn, who knew for such a jerk he really had heart..." Cana stated while looking at bit sad.

Gray nodded before speaking, "It's pretty shocking... I mean he's that crazy bastard that walked into our lives not too long ago... the jerk that came bursting into our guild... destroying part of it just to capture a cat he wasn't meant to catch..."

"Why does it hurt..." Lucy said while placing her hand over her heart, "He doesn't belong to the guild...he's been pretty much a jerk to us... he attacked us when father hired him to bring me back home... so why is my heart aching?"

Natsu clenched his fist, "I know what you mean Luce... I don't understand it either..."

It stayed silent for a while, everyone was still processing that their resident jerk was dead... but after a while Makarov broke the silence, "My children this is what you call a rotten bond or perhaps a love and hate relationship... Naruto wasn't the nicest guy out there but he did have something that pulled you towards him... some of you may have disliked him but at the same time you probably had some respect for him... that man lived life by his own rules, he wasn't perfect... he had his flaws but he was real to us all... he was like a manga you read and knew everything about from start to finish... that is who Naruto Uzumaki was..." the old man gave a speech.

"I agree Master..." Macao nodded, "It was Naruto how saved me from the Vulcans a while back... that brat ended up charging me for saving me but that who he is..."

Natsu started chuckling, causing everyone to turn to him, "Haha...Remember I once hired him to find me Igneel... he ended up finding the wrong dragon... we ended up getting devoured by the dragon and we ended up fighting a lot... in the end he saved me from being dragon crap..."

Everyone stayed silent, they were all remembering their little encounters they had with Naruto. It was true the blond had slowly but surely made his way into their lives...

"Let's have a toast..." Cana said at last, "To Naruto..." She said as he lifted up a bottle of booze before chugging it all down.

"TO NARUTO!" Everyone else chanted as they grabbed drinks before chugging them down.

Meanwhile, Erza was in just sitting there in deep thought - if one looked at her closely they could see that she was shaking slightly... the beautiful red head couldn't get out of her head at what she had seen Naruto to do at the Tower of Heaven...

Nobody else in Fairy Tail knew but her - she didn't tell Team Natsu she was going to tell them but now she was having second thoughts...

The redhead clenched her fists, "I'll never forgive that man..." She thought as the images of him killing Simon popped in her head... she could live with the blond killing Jellal to some extent but she wouldn't forgive him for murdering Simon...


Kurama sighed as he stared at his and Naruto's apartment, the apartment they shared many memories in... the red Exceed couldn't help but growl as he looked at he messy apartment.

"Naruto... you idiot... why did you have to do that..."

"Why did you have to die..."

"Tch... before you had no purpose in life... I was just a stray street cat but then you came along and you saved me... you gave me a home... we had some good times and some bad times and now you're gone... what happened to me saving you..."

Kurama thought as he went from room to room turning off all the lights until at last the only light that was on was the one in the living room.

"I have nothing to do now... and this place is the only place I've ever considered a home..." Kurama continued to think as he turned off the living room light - leaving him in complete darkness... the red exceed then flew over to the only couch in the living room and laid there before closing his eyes.

He was going to stay there and wait... because he had hope... because he was loyal... he was going to wait for his friend... he was the great Kurama!

Who said cats weren't loyal creatures?


A/N: Tower of Heaven Arc fuckin done baby! So waddya think? Yes, Naruto was blessed or perhaps cursed by the Dragon God Kurama, heh! How will this play out? ;)
