All Fairy Tail members were currently looking at an unconscious Makarov. The group has just got back early in the morning to find the half-destroyed train station. Of course, Makarov had a fit and scolded the four responsible for the damage. As soon as they entered the guild, they saw the guild once again being destroyed by another fight. Makarov couldn't take it anymore and fainted right at the doorway.
"MASTER!," Lisanna shouted as she moved to make sure Makarov was alright.
"What happened?" Mirajane asked as she entered the guild. Everyone just looked at her in shock.
"What?" Mirajane nearly growled before remembering she had to be nice.
"Big sis," Elfman responded," What happened to you?"
"Punishment," Mirajane answered before moving over to Makarov's unconscious form," OI, WAKE UP."
"Now, now," Naruto said as he walked into the guild," That's not being nice. I think I'm going to have extend your punishment." Mirajane whipped her head around and glared at Naruto.
"Erza, how many days until Mirajane's punishment ends?" Naruto asked, smirking.
"Thirty more days," Erza answered, smiling at Mirajane. Mirajane just glared at both of them before picking up Makarov and taking him to the infirmary.
"So what are you going to do with that key?" Natsu asked Lucy as they along with Happy walked into the guild.
"I'm going to form a contract as soon as I get home," Lucy answered.
"Can I watch?" Happy asked.
"Sure," Lucy answered. Gray then entered the guild.
"Where's Master?" Gray asked.
"Mira just took him to the infirmary," Lisanna answered," What happened on the trip?"
"A lot," Gray answered," I will tell you all later." The guild members just shrugged before going back to what they were doing before the guild fight. Naruto was conversing with Macao and Wakaba when the door opened to reveal a toad-like man enter the room.
"A magic council member!" one of the guild members exclaimed as the toad-man approached Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki," the toad-man stated. Naruto turned his head to look at the toad-man.
"I thought I put down my name Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki," Naruto replied before remembering something," Oh yeah, Mavis was the one, who registered me." The toad-man just looked at Naruto.
"On order of the magic council, you are to come for a meeting for the destruction of magic council property," the toad-man ordered. Everyone looked at the toad-man in shock.
"Ok," Naruto replied as he stood up. Lucy was the only one to look at Naruto in surprise.
"Good," the toad-man responded. Naruto then stood next to the toad-man before a blue circle appeared underneath them. Suddenly, they disappeared.
"What just happened?" Lucy asked as she looked around for an answer.
"Naruto has been summoned to the magic council," Happy answered as he bit at a fish.
"Why?" Lucy asked.
"We don't really care," Natsu answered.
"Why?" Lucy asked.
"Because the old man's over there," Natsu explained as he pointed at the bar counter. Lucy turned her head to see Naruto, waving at her before looking back at Lisanna.
"How?" Lucy asked.
"Do you want that Shadow Clone magic I told you about?" Happy asked, taking another bite of his fish.
"Yeah," Lucy answered.
"The one that went with the magic council is a clone," Happy explained.
"But how?" Lucy responded," I didn't see Naruto do a spell or anything."
"No one does," Natsu replied," Not even Jiji." Lucy just looked at Natsu in surprise before looking at Naruto.
"Who are you, Naruto?" Lucy thought.
Naruto's clone was currently walking through the halls of the Magic Council building with the toad-man. He then noticed a blue-haired man, waiting for him outside the meeting room.
"Siegran," Naruto greeted with a smile.
"Sir Naruto," the man known Siegran greeted as he bowed at Naruto," It is a honour to finally meet you."
"Likewise," Naruto replied. Siegran just smiled at Naruto. When the two past each other, Naruto leaned towards Siegran.
"I don't care if you're building the R-System," Naruto whispered," But don't involve Erza into this. If you do, I will make sure your all work was for nothing." Siegran looked at Naruto in surprise before frowning.
"I will see you inside," Siegran responded as he walked away. Naruto smirked before heading into the meeting room. Naruto walked in to see a council members looking at him.
"Yo," Naruto greeted as he sat down at the chair in the middle of the room.
"Naruto Uzumaki," one of the council members said," You are here charged with the destruction of magic council property."
"I know," Naruto replied," Your messenger told me." Several council members sniggered while the main one glared furiously at Naruto.
"Plus I had every right to destroy it," Naruto continued," Especially since it was stolen from your warehouse." The magic council member glared at Naruto.
Either way, you destroyed a property of the magic council," the member stated," As such, you must be punished." Naruto just looked at them with a smirk.
"Try," Naruto responded," I don't think the Kind of Fiore would be very happy with the council if they punish one of his mages for no good reason." The magic council members glared at Naruto's open display of disrespect.
"You may be the King's trusted advisor," a member of the council responded," But the magic council still holds as much power over the citizens of Fiore." Naruto just smiled.
"And I hold the power to obliterate this entire country," Naruto replied," But you don't see me doing that."
"That has nothing to do with the situation at hand," another member shouted.
"Here is the story," Naruto responded," Lullaby, a demon of Zeref, has been destroyed. The End."
"Even so, it is still property of the magic council," the main member kept on saying. Naruto just rolled his eyes.
"Stop with the bad excuses," Naruto replied," If this is a way the magic council is trying to show their authority to Fairy Tail, it's not working." The council members continued to glare at Naruto.
"On my life, I will never let this guild disappear," Naruto swore," If anyone tries to do anything to a single member of my guild, I will show all of you why I am the strongest mage in Fiore."
"Is that a threat?" a council member questioned.
"No," Naruto answered as he stood up," It's a promise." Naruto then moved to the door.
"Hey, we're not done here," the council member called out.
"Try and stop me," Naruto responded before disappearing in a puff of smoke. The memories of the past event travelled back to the original Naruto, who was having a drink with a depressed Makarov. Naruto smirked as he saw what his clone had done. Makarov noticed the smirk and sighed.
"What did you do this time?" Makarov asked as he took a sip of his beer.
"I merely told them to leave Fairy Tail alone," Naruto answered as he took a drink of his beer.
"I really wish you would stop aggravating them," Makarov replied," i always receive complaints about you from them."
"Then, you should just retire," Naruto responded.
"Yeah, but who will become the next guild master?" Makarov replied. Naruto nodded his head in agreement.
"If only you would stop being so stubborn and just become guild master," Makarov stated as he drank his beer.
"I told you Makarov," Naruto replied," I can't take over Fairy Tail."
"I know. I know," Makarov said," But it would make things way easier for the rest of us." Naruto just stayed silent as he took another drink of his beer.
"When is Gildarts due to be back?" Makarov asked.
"In a couple of weeks," Naruto answered. Makarov nodded his head.
"The S-Class trials are coming up soon," Makarov stated.
"Yes, they are," Naruto replied.
"Who do you think are some worthy candidates?" Makarov asked.
"I don't know," Naruto answered," Probably Natsu, Gray, Levy, and Elfman."
"What about Cana?" Makarov asked.
"I think she's content with being an A-Rank mage," Naruto answered," Plus I would doubt that Gildarts would ever leave Cana alone if she was a S-Rank mage."
"True," Makarov agreed, taking another gulp of beer," What do you think about the newbie?"
"You mean Lucy," Naruto replied. Makarov nodded his head.
"I think she's pretty decent considering she's the daughter of Julia and Layla Hertafilia," Naruto stated.
"That's good to know," Makarov replied," Though, I'm pretty sure that her father is going to send someone to get her."
"He will," Naruto agreed," He will."
A week later
Everyone was at the guild, enjoying their time. Natsu and Gray were having one of their little skirmishes while Lucy was having a conversation with Happy to know more about Fairy Tail. Mirajane was having a hard time, controlling her temper as she pretended to be nice to everyone while Erza was begging Naruto to let her eat one tiny piece of strawberry cake. Overall, it was just another day at Fairy Tail.
"Naruto's immortal!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Aye," Happy replied as he munched on his fish.
"How?" Lucy questioned.
"We don't know," Happy answered," The only person who knows is the First Master, but she's dead." Lucy looked at happy with wide eyes.
"Is that how he knows so many different types of magic?" Lucy continued. Happy just nodded his head.
"Wow," Lucy responded as she looked at Naruto. Suddenly, an unknown magic radiated across the room.
"So sleepy," Lucy said before collapsing onto the table, fast asleep.
"Aye," Happy replied as he too fell asleep. Soon, all of the guild members started to fall asleep.
"Damn you," Natsu cried out before falling asleep. Erza and Mirajane were also on the floor, fast asleep. Then, a mysterious figure entered the guild.
"Sup, Mystogan," Naruto greeted while Makarov raised his beer cup.
"Greetings Master and Uzumaki," Mystogan greeted as he walked up to the mission board.
"Back from closing the Anima already," Naruto stated.
"Yes," Mystogan replied as he picked a mission off the notice board.
"That's good to know," Naruto responded," See ya later."
"Goodbye," Mystogan said as he started to walk out the guild.
"Don't forget to wake everyone up," Makarov called out.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1," Mystogan said as he left the guild. Soon, everyone started to wake up from their short nap.
"Was that Mystogan?" Macao asked Naruto and Makarov.
"Yep," Naruto answered," He came by to get another mission."
"Damn him and his sleep magic," Natsu grumbled as he picked himself up," All because he doesn't want to show his face to us."
"Only allowing Makarov and grandfather to see his face," Erza stated as she got up.
"And me," a mysterious voice called out. Everyone looked up to see a blond man looking at them, smugly.
"Laxus!" one of the guild members called out in surprise," How long have you been up there?"
"I've been here since this morning," the man known as Laxus smirked," Just so you know, Mystogan's identity is very surprising. Do you want to know what it i~"
"LAXUS," Makarov shouted," You must respect the wishes of your fellow guild members. If Mystogan doesn't want to reveal his identity, he doesn't have to. It is not your right to tell others what it is."
"Whatever," Laxus responded," As if I consider a weakling like him my guild mate."
"Laxus, come down here and fight me," Natsu announced.
"As if I would waste my time with a weakling like you," Laxus replied. Natsu clenched his anger as he stepped forward to jump up towards the higher level.
"Leave him be, Natsu," Naruto ordered," He's not worth the trouble."
"But," Natsu responded, turning his head to look at Naruto.
"Remember only S-Class mages are allowed up there," Naruto merely stated.
"Yeah, listen to the old man," Laxus scoffed," Only the strongest are allowed up here." Natsu just growled at laxus before turning away. Laxus just laughed before walking away from the railing.
"Who was that guy?" Lucy asked Happy.
"He's Laxus," Happy answered," Grandson of the Master." Lucy looked at the second level in surprise.
"I'm surprised he's related to him," Lucy said.
"Aye," Happy agreed. Naruto and Makarov just looked at each other.
"Remember when you were like that," Naruto commented.
"Don't remind me," Makarov replied.
"Laxus just reminded me of you when you were his age," Naruto said, chuckling," I remember the late night drinking as your father whined to me about your behaviour."
"He was so mad at me," Makarov laughed," Everytime I went out to a mission, I would destroy an important building or something like that."
"You're lucky that Precht covered for you," Naruto replied," Or else your father would have banned from doing missions."
"To be fair, I was young and stupid then," Makarov pointed out.
"What's the difference now?" Naruto replied," Except for the young bit."
"OI," Makarov responded," I am wise to a certain extent."
"Sure," Naruto replied. All of the guild members just looked at them like they were a bunch of old people reminiscing about the past.
"They're so old," one of them commented.
"WE HEARD THAT, BRAT," both Makarov and Naruto shouted. Everyone laughed at the antics of the oldest people in the guild. Soon, everyone was acting like they're usually selves.
The Next Day
"NATSU AND HAPPY HAVE STOLEN AN S-CLASS MISSION."
"THAT IDIOT!"
Years Ago
"Grandpa, grandpa," Mavis called out. Naruto looked at her to see her all dressed up.
"What's up?" Naruto asked.
"Can you take me to town today?" Mavis asked.
"Why?" Naruto responded as he lifted his satchel.
"I want to see the city," Mavis answered.
"Immmmm," Naruto stalled as he looked at Matatabi for help. She nodded her head.
"Ok," Naruto answered as he held bent down and motioned for Mavis to get on.
"Yeah," Mavis cheered as she climbed up onto Naruto's back.
"We will back usual time," Naruto told Matatabi.
"I know," Matatabi responded.
"Are you ready?" Naruto asked Mavis.
"Ready," Mavis answered.
"Hold on tight," Naruto said before dashing off. Matatabi smiled.
"He's finally connecting with her," Matatabi whispered before disappearing in a puff of smoke. As Naruto was running on top of the water, he felt Matatabi's chakra return to him.
"So that's how you know," Naruto muttered as he held on tightly to Mavis' legs in order to make sure she doesn't fall off. Naruto could feel Mavis holding herself tightly against his back as he zoomed across the Naruto. Soon, the duo reached the nearest city. Mavis was easily amazed at the size of the city. She was fascinated by the infrastructure, the goings in between the citizens, and the items shops were selling.
"What is that?" Mavis asked, pointing to a tall building far off to the distance, just as Naruto was about to buy the last thing on his list, fish.
"That's the Castle of Fiore," Naruto answered as he looked at the building.
"Can we go there someday?" Mavis asked. Naruto nodded his head before turning his head to pay for the fish.
"Is she your daughter?" the woman at the shop asked. Naruto shook his head.
"Granddaughter," Naruto answered.
"But you look so young," the woman responded in surprise.
"My magic keeps me very young," Naruto explained.
"Ahh," the woman understood as she looked at Mavis.
"What's your name?" the woman asked.
"Mavis Vermillion," Mavis answered.
"That's a nice name," the woman replied before handing Mavis a rose," Here, have a flower from my garden."
"Thanks," Mavis replied as she grabbed the flower. Naruto just smiled at the interaction.
"Thanks for the fit," Naruto said.
"No problem," the woman replied.
"Come on, Mavis," Naruto called out.
"Coming," Mavis replied as she ran to Naruto. They walked to the port before Mavis climbed onto Naruto's back. Naruto then sped off on top of the water to the bewilderment of the sip captains.
"Did you like the city?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah," Mavis answered," Can we visit the castle next time?"
"Sure," Naruto replied as he ran off towards the island. Unknown to Naruto, this would be the beginning of the many adventures he would have with his granddaughter, Mavis.
