Here we go with the final part 4 of the Bridge Builder arc enjoy!
Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Anything written is purely my own thoughts.
Elsewhere Naruto and Gray had had their spar fight. Naruto didn't want to admit it but Gray pushed him far. Feeling tired Naruto sat by the base of a large tree and fell alseep. Hours later he woke up seeing a bueitful figure standing in front of him. he had even seen someone so cute before.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up my name is White."
"Umm nice to meet you White I'm Naruto." An awkward silence grew between to pair."So what takes you out to here White?"
'I mustn't let this child figure out who I am.' White thought to herself. "There is a certain type of wild mushroom that grows in this area of the island. I wish to cook it for a dear friend of mine."
"I-I'll help you find it!"
"No its ok I already found it just as you woke up."
"Oh then I hope that it tastes good for you and your friend... Sorry but, You wouldn't happen to know what time it is?"
"Its near six in the afternoon. Why?"
"I've still got a few hours were I can try a few more attacks."
"Attacks? So your a Mage. What guild are you in?" She already knew the answer from their earlier fight along with Sandayu.
"Yeah your looking at the futrue master of the Fairy Tail guild." Naruto showed White the palm of his right hand showing the orange tattoo of Fairy Tail.
"You know in order to become master it will be a long and dangerous road and in some missions you never know where your enemy is."
"I know that hahaha but its more of the fun in chasing down your dreams."
White turned to leave. "Good luck in chasing your dreams Naruto... Oh and by the way... I'm a Boy!"
'... WHAAAAT HE'S EVER CUTER THAN CANA!' Naruto screamed on the inside. White was actually female, she just loved messing with peoples heads by saying that. With White now out of sight Naruto grabbed a scroll and started to read it. 'Dammit I need to get him out of my mind now!'
Naruto came back just after nine at night. Tired and battered as he was using his clones for his jutsu. He wasn't sure if he got the hang of it but he was a lot better than when he first started. His timing couldn't have been any better as everyone was sitting down to dinner.
"Naruto what took you so long?"
"Sorry Gildarts was looking at a new jutsu to use."
"Alright then. Anyway take a seat I have a few things that I want to say to everyone." Naruto took his seat beside Cana. "Today at around six just before Tazuna was finished for the day we made contact with members of Titan's Fist. So tomorrow I expect Sandayu to attack us himself along with his mystery friend. So everyone is going to protect the construction tomorrw." The group agreed with Gildart's plan until Inari spoke up.
"It doesn't matter how well you plan your not going to beat Gateau. Your all going to die!" Tazuna and Tsunami we're shocked to hear Inrai.
Naruto slammed his hand on the table. "Listen kid. I about to make a promise. WE WON'T back down. WE WON'T run away. WE WILL defend you grandfather. AND WE WILL NOT DIE. Believe it!"
"I don't believe it!"
"KILL THE NON-BELIEVER!" Naruto had to be held back by Cana and Gray from clobbering Inrai. Gildarts just sweat-dropped.
A few minutes later everyone had calmed down. Inrai didn't sit down he simply stated that he wasn't hungry and left. "Mr Tazuna i don't mean to sound rude but why is Inrai like that. was he always so negative." Cana spoke up she had the break the ice. she hated the silence. "No Cana he wasn't like that once upon a time he did nothing but smile. But when Gateau came everything changed. Tsunami and Inrai were hit the hardest. As my daughter's husband and Inrai's father Kaiza was brutally killed in front of the whole village because he stood up to Gateau." the group was in shck upon hearing the story. "That was also the moment i decided to do something about Gateau and gave me in inspiration to building the bridge. Now at the final stages when we're almost finsihed I fear that Gateau might do me in the same way as poor Kaiza." The mood had changed again. Gildarts stood up. "With all respect Tazuna that is why we are here. And as Naruto said before. We won't back down, run away and we will defend you with our lives. Once a member of Fairy Tail makes a promise we intend to keep it." Tazuna remained silent but spoke a soft 'Thank you.' his word only reached Naruto you stood up and smiled before walking out to find Inrai.
Inrai was lying in his room looking at a photo of his father when he heard a knock on the door. He didn't give a reply but Naruto walked in anyway. "Listen Inrai things don't chance unless you make them. If you continue to let people walk over you they they will continue to walk over you. But look at your grandfather and the man in that picture. Your father had enough of people walking over him and is standing up to Gateau. He might have lost his life but he inspired people. people like your grandfather. If more people on Onda were like your father and your grandfather and stood up to Gateau then he wouldn't be here for long. Now the question is what are you going to do about it?" Inrai for once in a long time smiled but he didn't know what to say. He had enough of Gateau but he didn't want to have any regrets he would honour his father and grandfather and fight back. "I'm sorry for what i said earlier. I don't want to have any regrets. That's why... I'll stand up to Gateau. Thanks to you I know now that being a cry-baby won't solve anything." Naruto gave a big foxy smile as he and Inrai high five'd. A Tear came to Tsunami's eye as she had followed Naruto and listened to the two boys behind the door. She was happy that Inrai was now going to follow in the footsteps of his father.
The next morning the group went toward the construction site. they noticed something was not right. normally there was some noise coming from the workers, be it conversation or from equipment but there was nothing. slowly they made their way to wards the bridge. they were shocked to find dead bodies lying in pools of blood. Two figures were seen standing among the piles of bodies. "Finally you turn up. As you can see we have been bored and tried to waste a bit of time in order to wait for your arrival. Haku take care of the three brats Gildarts is mine."
The figure named Haku walked slowly away behind Sandayu. "Kids go deal with him. I'll be right behind you after I deal with Sandayu." Cana, Gray and Naruto nodded at Gildarts and made their way to face Haku.
"Gildarts what makes you think you'll beat me so quickly?"
"Because last time i had to hold back. Now with the kids out of the way you are going to be sent flying... Mr Tazuna you may want to stand back a bit its gonna get a bit hard for you to breathe." Both Gildarts and Sandayu slowly started to raise the magical pressure around them.
(Haku vs Fairy Tail trio)
The four stood off at each other in a kind of uneven Mexican stand off. They said nothing. They didn't move. No one wanted to make the first move. Gray was the first to attack. "ICE MAKE: LANCE!" A volley of ice spears launched themselves from Gray's hand making their way towards Haku he lifted one hand "ICE MAKE: SHIELD!" a rectangle shield covered Haku and blocked the attack.
"So the Ice boy makes the first move. I was expecting the one with the whiskers." Can was the next to make her move she dropped her Prayer's Fountain card and a jet stream of high pressure water shot of and moved towards Haku " NOW GRAY!"
"ICE MAKE: ICE GEYSER!" Cana's attack froze and with a magic boost from Gray it moved faster towards Haku.
"Unison Raid?!" Haku jumped out the way he had no way of stopping that attack. he barely moved out of the way. dusting himself off he knew he had to finish this fight soon. "It doesn't matter what you do you won't be able to stop me. ICE MAKE: MIRROR!" Suddenly ice mirrors surrounded the all four mages. Haku suddenly went inside one of the mirrors and appeared in all of them. they all spoke and moved at the same time. "Now you will all die by my hands."
'Its almost like my shadow clone jutsu.' Naruto thought to himself "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" A mass of clones of Naruto appeared and moved to strike the ice mirrors. But no matter how hard he would hit them they wouldn't crack. 'This bastard is mocking me. He not even moving just standing there.' Naruto changed his thoughts soon as Haku attacked. "ICE MAKE: NEEDLE BARRAGE!" Thousand of needles came from each mirror Naruto used his clones to protect himself. Once Haku's attack stopped only the trio remained
"Hey Cana? Gray? You guys ok?" Naruto turned around to find Cana and Gray covered in cuts and wounds caused by the previous attack. He froze, fear overtook him again. He was scared that he had lost his two friends. Had his foolishness of wanting to continue this request cost him the laughs of his friends. Naruto collapsed blacking out.
(Gildarts vs Sandayu)
Both mages had filled the air with magical pressure. Tazuna was finding it hard to stand on his feet. it was like his very soul was being crushed when suddenly it stopped. "HIDDEN MIST!" A thick mist surrounded both powerful mages. "The same trick doesn't work twice with me." Gildarts focused his Magic and dispelled the mist surrounding him but Sandayu was expecting this move and swung his sword at Gildarts cutting the side of his torso. Sandayu moved back for a more defensive position.
"A flesh wound to start. There is more to come."
Gildarts would have to stop the bleeding soon. it wasn't a major cut more of a swallow wound but the cut was the least of his concerns.
"DEMON SLICE!" swinging his blade Sandayu shoot demon magic from his sword and focused it towards Gildarts
'Shit he can attack from range too.' Gildarts thought quick and dispelled the attack but it wasn't enough. Sandayu followed up with a swipe at Gildarts hands cutting the palm of his extended right hand. the cut far too swallow.
'Damn not even deep enough to call it a paper cut. I need to take is hands out of this fight. All he needs is one touch and this fights all over.' Annoyed Sandayu moved back in his defensive position.
As the stand off continued the pair raised their pressure once more. but this time both felt unease. it wasn't from each other but a third source. They could feel the blood lust, it was indescribably disturbing. 'Where is that power coming from. Its so... Dark.' Even Sandayu was unsettled by it.
'This can only be coming from Naruto. Even more reason to finish this fight soon.'
(Unknown Location)
Naruto woke up he what looked like a sewer. It wasn't bright nor dark. Looking around him he was light coming from a room. Walking up to it he seen a large gate that went the whole way up to the roof. Well he guessed it when to the roof he couldn't see it, it was that tall.
"Where am I? Am I dead?"
"No... Not yet anyway. Brat."
Such a deep voice. It brought chills up Naruto's spine. he looked down toward the gate. On the Gate it said 'SEAL.' He knew where he was. Looking past the Gate he saw a giant red fox staring at him.
"Come closer."
Naruto slowly walked towards the gate wary of what might happen. Suddenly the claws of the fox reached through the gate and tired to kill Naruto. They didn't reach Naruto jumped back in the last moment.
"HEY WHY DID YOU TRY TO KILL ME?!" The fox stared at Naruto not speaking. "HEY I'M TALKING TO YOU NINE TAILS! WHY THE HELL AM I HERE?"
"The reason you are here is because your anger has reached a boiling. Add the fact the seal is now weak enough for us to make contact as well is what brings your here." Naruto looked at the fox. "Now... Who do you want me to kill!"
"Kill? I don't want to kill. I want to go back and help my friends."
"AHAHAHAHA fine I will let you leave but first I must give you something for reaching here. Here take some of my chakra. It will help you... Defeat whoever you wish to. Hehehehe" A small mass of red energy grasped Naruto.
(Haku vs Fairy Tail trio)
Cana, Gray and Naruto were lying motionless on the ground. they were covered in cuts and wounds. The real Haku moved out from his ice mirror and walked up to the bodies.
"Still alive but barely. the blood loss should finish them off. Hmm?" Haku turned to find Naruto standing up. He could've sworn he was out for the count. "Oh your alive... Naruto."
"Shut up..." Suddenly a mass of red energy flowed from Naruto and started to burn the ground. Swirling around him until it finally stopped. 'What is this power I-I can feel the anger, the blood lust!' Haku didn't know what to do next he never expected this much power from Naruto.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Naruto's eyes were blood red. His whiskers were darker and more profound. His hair was more wild and rougher. "I'M GONNA BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY!" Naruto charged at Haku with blinding speed. Haku didn't have time to block and took the hit knocking him back. "LETS SEE WHO'S BEHIND THAT MASK!" Naruto focused his chakra towards his fist and fired a right upper cut breaking Haku's mask and sending Haku flying as well. Haku landed on the ground with a thud and slowly got up to his feet. Naruto moved in for the final blow. He was going to break his legs, his arms. Bit by bit Haku's mask was Falling off. 'Master Sandayu... I can't win. This... Boy is too strong... I'm sorry.' The last piece of Haku's mask fell off revealing a young beautiful face. Naruto looked at Haku's face and stopped in his tracks.
"Y-your that guy from yesterday?" Naruto eyes and face had returned to normal.
"Why did you stop? Aren't you going to finish me off?" As Haku finished movement could be heard near Cana and Gray. Their wounds had been more or less healed from the swirling chakra of the Nine Tails during Naruto's rage. "T-they're alive... again I have failed. Now with this shame I have lost the will to fight. ICE MAKE: SCYTHE!" A small ice scythe appeared in Haku's hand and she cut open his guts committing suicide. Naruto caught him as she fell.
"W-why did you do that? Why? Was losing a fight to someone stronger than painful? TELL ME!"
Haku looked at Naruto never had she seen an enemy care about her. "My Whole life I was meant to protect Lord Sandayu. He saved my life."
"And your just gonna kill yourself cause you fail. I don't get it!" Frustrated Naruto hit the ground.
"What's your full name Naruto?"
"It's Naruto Dreyar. Yours?
"White Snow... Haha and I'm actually a female... I just like messing with people... sorry about that." With White Snow's final words she apologised to Naruto. Filled with anger Naruto didn't even check on Cana and Gray but move towards where Sandayu was.
(Gildarts vs Sandayu)
The Dark pressure grew slowly toward the pair. the tension in the air could be cut with a butter knife. Slowly Naruto revealed himself.
"Naruto your alive! Where's Cana and Gray are they ok?" Naruto didn't reply to Gildarts.
"So Haku failed huh worthless piece of trash!"
"No... she killed himself!" Naruto sarted to use the Nine Tails chakra "She killed herself because she knew she failed you. you took away her choice of living to serve you. Now I'll make sure no one ever serves under you AGAIN! SHADOW CLONE JUTSU" A single clone of Naruto appeared. Pulling out a kunai both Narutos threw them at Sandayu while chrageing at his after. While trying to dogde one the kunai cut his cheek and stabbing his left shoulder. Before Sandayu could react Naruto and his clone started to form a ball of energy on the real Naruto's right hand befoe slamming it into Sandayu. "RASENGAN!" Crashing into Sandayu he was sent flying into the direction of Gildarts who focused his power into his fist and sent Sandayu flying even further away.
With the battle over Naruto had calmed down by the time Gildarts walked over to him.
"T-that was some attack Naruto. That one of those jutsu from those scrolls?"
"yeah its from the Forth Hokage scroll. its taken me months to get it. it only came up with the idea of an extra clone to help yesterday. it seems to have work haha." Tired from using too much chakra Naruto fell but was caught by Gildarts. Turning to find Cana and Gray he found Tazuna walking to wards him holding on to both of them.
"They lost a lot of blood but they should be ok. I tried to cover the worst of the wounds."
"I don't think we can get any work done today. We would be best to go back for today."
Two weeks later the group had all fully recovered except for Gray who still sported a few bandages. The Bridge was finish and little Inrai help start a roit that would finish with Gateau being kicked out and losing control over Onda. The Group were standing in Fiore after walking over the bridge.
"Once again we cannot thank you enough." Tazuna as well as most of the Onda itself came to say goodbye to the hero's who helped their island. The group didn't know what to do they just thanked them back and as they turned to return home Inrai ran up to Naruto.
"Naruto!"
"Inrai what's up?"
"Naruto I hope you make your dream come true."
"Thanks Inrai." They high five'd as Naruto ran to catch up with the rest of his group who kept walking Tazuna walked up to his grandson.
"You think he can do it grandfather?"
"Well from what I seen, I don't see why he couldn't become the master of Fairy Tail. But I suppose we should give him a helping start. What do you think I should call this bridge. I was thinking The Great Naruto Bridge."
And relax. that has to be the longest chapter i've wrote lol. right i'm going to explain a few thing about the names of characters
Gateau. Gato is the japanese way of writing gateau with means cake so it was either call him gateau or cake.
Sandayu. Zabuza was roughly based on Sandayu Momochi so i picked the name of the man Zabuza was based on.
White Snow. This is actually word for word translation of Haku Yuki the full name of Haku and the reason he is female in my story is if you pronounce his name like they do in Japan, surname first, his name is in English is Snow White.
Anyway i hope you enjoyed this chapter next arc will be a 2 parter so till then!
