Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail. Do I wish I did? I do.

There is a reason why Naruto is learning so many different types of magic. There's a method to my madness.

Also, I'll start putting who's speaking.

Another thing! I realized why it seems to be moving so quickly! It's because I'm only showing Naruto's view on things. In the first chapter I showed the view of things from Fairy Tails point of view. I didn't notice this until right now.

Also, everything that I don't show is canon to the manga and show. Like the Phantom Lord arc. I didn't show the fights against the Element 4 because it happened the same way that it did in the show. Except when Erza fought Jose. Because she wasn't as hurt, she fought better than she did in canon.

I'll put in the things that are different than canon because I don't want to actually copy the stuff that you should already know, but I can see how it can make a story more enjoyable.

So it's up to you. Should I show everything? This includes the parts that are canon to the manga and show, or should I continue as is until the 7 year arc when things start to deviate from canon?

Another thing to know, if I include the parts that are canon to the manga and show I have to do that for all the chapters so that means going back to rewrite those. Or I can leave them as is and just change it from here on out. Oh and fillers won't be included unless I liked that story arc.

Not sure what else to put. I'll put anything I think about at the bottom.


"Get that damn light out of my face." Grumbled Naruto as he tried to get away from the light.

"Finally awake Naruto? You've been sleeping for quite a while."

Opening his eyes to look at who spoke, Naruto was greeted with the beautiful visage of Mirajane.

"Mira? How long have I been sleeping?" Normally, Naruto would have tried to jump out of bed, but he couldn't actually move. Lifting his head, he saw that he was actually in a hospital bed. "And, why am I in the hospital?"

"Well, you've been asleep for a week and a half. As for why you're in the hospital, your body was apparently falling apart from the massive influx of magic you absorbed. Your body wasn't adjusted to having so much magic in it, so in trying to hold it all in it put a humongous amount of stress on you. The doctors were actually amazed you were able to move at all." Mirajane finished with a big smile.

"So that explains why I can't move. Actually why am I not in any pain?" At the moment everything seemed to be a bit fuzzy to Naruto.

"Oh, that's just the painkillers. In fact it's amazing you're actually coherent. With the amount of painkillers you have going through you, you shouldn't even be able to make sentences." Mirajane told Naruto while having an amazed expression on her face.

"Well, I'm just awesome. Though, I really don't want to be awake when the painkillers stop." Naruto told Mirajane as he put his head back on the pillow.

"That's understandable. Oh, Master also wanted me to tell you that because of how you handled yourself in the guild war you're now eligible to take on all types of quests except for S-Rank quests unless you have an S-Rank wizard with you." Mirajane finished telling Naruto with beaming smile.

"That's awesome, but I think I'll celebrate later. I'm gonna try and sleep this off. Thanks for telling me Mira." Naruto explained to Mirajane with a smile.

"Alright then, have a good rest Naruto." Once again Naruto received another beaming smile.

Nodding to her, as that was all he could do since he could feel himself falling asleep, he let his eyes close.


Timeskip 3 Days Later

"Ah, finally out of that damn hospital! Now, should I take a quest or practice my magic? Oh, who am I kidding, I can do both!" Running towards the guild he was happy to see that it was still early enough that he could take a good enough quest to finally get himself his own home. It was fun staying at the guild, but he wanted his own place to relax.

Looking at where the guild used to stand, he was amazed to see how far they had progressed. However, he was pretty sure that the guild wasn't as big as they were making it. Maybe they were renovating?

Going through the work site he was greeted by everyone in the guild as he walked. Waving back to them he put a big grin on when he saw that everyone was doing well.

"Ah Naruto, I'm glad to see you're out of the hospital. Here to take on a mission?" Makarov asked as he sipped his drink.

"Of course. I can't sit still after being in that hospital for 2 weeks. Any good monster hunting missions?" Raising an eyebrow at Naruto's request Makarov just shrugged.

"I don't know. Go ask Mira. She's usually in charge of that. Also, you might want to leave before Erza finds you. Everyone told me about the reckless thing you did and how angry Erza was. While it's been a while, she can hold onto her anger. If I were you I'd try and bribe her with some strawberry cake. It's her favorite." Nodding at Makarov's good idea Naruto went to find Mirajane.

"Mira! Any monster hunting missions?" Startled, Mirajane turned around from cleaning the bar.

"Oh, Naruto don't sneak up on me like that. Wait, you want a monster hunting mission? Are you sure?" Mirajane was reminded about the last monster hunting mission she went on. She knew that Naruto was capable, but with him being so close to her sister's age when she died she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Don't worry. I've been on monster hunting missions before. It was before I joined the guild." Seeing Naruto's confidence in himself she was able to feel better.

"Alright then. We have a few monster hunting missions. There's one were you have to take care of a group of Vulcans, another where a village is being attacked by a monster at night, and lastly to stop a monster that's been seen stalking a village. Which one seems to be the best for you?" Mirajane could only giggle after seeing his face. He was thinking a lot on which one to take.

"Which one has the highest reward?" Naruto asked. He had a good sum of money saved, but he needed new clothes. The ones he had on were getting raggedy.

"The monster stalking the village. It has the biggest reward of 500,000 Jewels. It has a pretty big reward, but because of how far away it is, no one has actually taken it." Mirajane told Naruto as it looked like he finally made up his mind.

"I'll take it!" Giggling at his enthusiasm, Mirajane signed out the mission toward him.

"Be careful alright? Many sort of things can go wrong on a mission." Seeing that she was unusually serious, Naruto nodded.

"I will be careful. I promise that I'll come back in one piece." Smiling at his promise she handed him the request sheet.

Waving goodbye, Naruto ran out of the guild and activated his Aera. He needed to get to Tully Village.


Tully Village wasn't that much different than the village he grew up in, Naruto noted. It had the same type of atmosphere, people, and pace of life. Except this village had an old clock tower before it was destroyed by some reckless fire mage, who also destroyed 7 other homes.

"Lets, see... 'Hunt creature that terrorizes village at night. Speak with the mayor for details. Note that details about the creature are scarce and that it hasn't actually been seen. Be prepared for all sorts of situations.' Well now, this is a first." Naruto hadn't read the sheet when he received it. He was too exited about finally getting to leave the hospital. However, now that he read it he was surprised about how little was known.

Monster hunting requests were often requested after it had begun to cause problems. Here it seemed like they were scared of something they had yet to actually see. Frowning, Naruto really hoped that the monster he was hunting was actually a monster and not some animal that he had to scare off. He really wanted to get into some sort of fight where he could go all out.

Sighing, he put his hands into his pockets and went towards city hall.

"Hello, how may I help you today?" asked the young man at the desk.

"I'm from Fairy Tail and I'm here about the monster hunting mission. Is the mayor in?" Naruto had done similar work before, but never before had the person across from him just get up and hug him.

"Thank you! Thank you! We can't tell you how much of a relief this is for us! We've been living in fear for the past few weeks and we didn't think anyone was going to come help us after all that time." cried the man as he hugged and cried into Naruto's shirt.

"Don't worry, I'm here now and I'll do my best to make sure that this monster is gone." Looking up, the man began to cry even more from the sincerity of Naruto's face.


"So you're the mayor? Shouldn't you have a secretary or something" Everywhere else he had to been to the mayor always had a secretary. Usually a young pretty woman.

"Usually yes, but I decided not to have one. However, let's get right to the problem at hand. Every night for the past few weeks in the surrounding forests and canyons we have heard horrible sounds. Sounds so wretched that it feels like you're going to die from the very sound of it. The children are the worst affected. We don't know why, but every night when it happens they all begin to cry at the sound of it." Naruto frowned at the mayors tale. He didn't know any sort of animal that could create that sort of sound.

"For some reason it fills everyone that hears it with dread. We don't know why and we've had dozens of doctors examine the children to see if there was something wrong with them, but nothing. We were losing hope of things ever returning to normal, so you know that it's a big relief to us to know that you came." The mayor stated with a small smile. To Naruto it looked like a man who was about to fall apart.

"Don't worry Mr. Mayor[1]. I'll do everything I can to stop this. You have my word."

"Thank you. It happens every night around midnight. We would have sent someone to investigate, but like I said, that sound keeps everyone from trying." You could see that it pained the mayor to say that they were all too scared by the noise to see what it actually was.

"It's alright, even if you had investigated and it was a monster it would have just killed whoever you sent." Standing up, Naruto looked at the man in the eyes. "I'll investigate this tonight and when I hear the noise I'll go straight towards it." As he left the building, Naruto took a better look at everyone around him.

'How did I not notice it before? Their eyes and body language. Their all exhausted and won't be able to keep it up much longer. I have to figure out what's making that sound and stop it. This village won't survive if I don't.' Naruto thought to himself as he noticed the people around him.

'I should scout the surrounding area to make sure that I have a rough map of the area if I have to move quickly.' With that Naruto went into the surrounding woods and canyons.

He wasn't sure of it himself, but he was pretty sure that as he scouted the area out he was being watched. He couldn't tell if it was malicious or not, but it put him on edge.


"Sir, I have some unfortunate news for you. It appears that the mayor was able to get a mage here to help them. We don't believe he'll be strong enough to stop us, but he could stall our plans long enough for someone stronger to arrive." A cloaked figure stated as he knelled before a figure that was cloaked in shadows.

"Finally! I was getting bored of just supervising. I was this close to turning all of you to ash. Hopefully he can relieve my boredom or I might turn you all to ash anyway!" The maniacal laughter that followed only made the knelling figure shake in absolute terror as he knew that the man before him would do so without warning.

"Master Zancrow, are you sure you want to fight him? He could get in the way and the fighting might scare away the creature." This came from another cloaked figure who was in the same getup as the one who was knelling, but he had a scepter in his hand and was standing next to a door along with another cloaked figure.

"I don't care!" With that he sent a wave of black flames toward the one who spoke last and the man was turned to ash before he could even scream.

"We'll make sure to capture the creature while you fight the mage, sir." The knelling figure knew better than to say something that could anger Zancrow.

"Make sure you do so or I'll turn you to ash!" Once again maniacal laughter filled the room as the knelling figure quickly walked away and only spared a small glance at the final guard at the door before he left.

The poor guard might make it through the night if he didn't draw attention towards himself. The last one didn't because he didn't know to keep his mouth shut.


[1] His full name is actually Kreg Mayor.

What do you think? Should I keep this type of writing style? I actually kinda like it.

And what do you think about the big twist? Didn't think this was gonna happen? To tell you the truth, I didn't either until I thought about giving Naruto his own little arc.

What do you think is gonna happen? Will Naruto survive meeting Zancrow or will he die end the story here?

Read and review if you want.
