(Unknown City in Bosco)

Naruto woke up in chains. Looking around he couldn't see anyone else from the group of prisoners. He could hear voices outside by an opening higher up on the wall. Its sounded like an auction. Was he going to be sold too?!

Chapter 9: The Slave Trader part 3

Trying to move his wrists from the chains Naruto couldn't move them an inch. 'I have to get these things off of me.' Naruto tried to think of a plan to escape. He was starting to run into a dead end. Memories were flashing back to him from His shadow clones that were sent out to find the other ingredients. He was now the last one. Even more reason for his escape. He heard foot steps coming closer toward his cell. "So you've waken up eh Naruto?"

"Michael... Have you come here to gloat? Does beating a twelve year old mean so much to you?"

"Watch your tongue boy. I really don't know if your foolish or arrogant when it come to your own powers. But your life as a mage of Fairy Tail is now over. You will make me a very rich man hahaha!" Michael walked away from Naruto's cell his laughter was bouncing off the walls creating an echo through the hallway. 'Damn him!' Naruto roared in his head. Suddenly the thought of an idea. Focusing his chakra on the palm of his hand he placed it on the wall. Removing his wall there was a marking made on it. 'Ok so if I focus my chakra I should be able to move just my body.' Naruto took a few steps back from the wall. Naruto closed his eyes and focused with all his might. Naruto softly called "FLYING RAIJIN JUTSU!" When Naruto opened his eyes he seen that he was standing right next to the walk. Checking his wrists he seen that he was no longer bound by the chain. But there was something else. 'OH GOD I'VE TURNED INTO GRAY!' Naruto was standing in the cell... Naked.

Trying to be as quite as he could Naruto put his clothes back on. He tried to be quick not knowing if there would be any guards on duty. He was missing his pouch and all of his kunai. Since a jump would be too risky cause he could miss and did not know where he would land. Peaking his head down of the bars he marked the bars and raijin'd to the other side of them. Moving fast through the hallway he came across a guard sitting by his desk. Naruto jumped out and caught the guard off. Knocking him out he checked the drawer he found his pouch inside. Moving further down he came across the group from earlier.

"Naruto!?"

"Lucy! Don't worry I'm going to get everyone out of here." Naruto marked the bars and raijin'd over to the other side.

"Naruto could you do that magic transportation thing again to get us all out of here."

"Truth is I can't. The last time even though it was a short distance took a lot out of me. And I have no idea how far into Bosco I am. Sorry. But what i can do i get us all out of here." Pulling out a kunai Naruto channelled his chakra into the knife. He cut the metal chains with the kunai like a knife through hot butter. After everyone was free he cut the bars the same way and placed it carefully to the side as to not make any noise. The next problem was getting out. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Five clones appeared. "Ok guys this is simple recon work. Find an exit quickly and quietly second you find one disperse. Got it?" "Got it!(x5)" All of the clones quickly moved out as Naruto and the prisoners sat down to wait for the clones to find the exit.

One of the clones made his way through a long hallway until he came to an exit. Wanting to make sure it was a good exit he checked if the coast was clear. Sticking his head out the doorway he looked and found that their was an edge of a forest roughly two mile away. He guessed it was the border with Fiore. The clone made it ways towards the border but unknown to him he was being watched.

"Sir! It looks like Naruto has escaped! Shall we begin firing?"

"No... that is not Naruto. Its only one of his clones. The real Naruto wouldn't leave the prisoners behind. Most noble types are like that. secure the area try and find out if there are any more clones. He will not make only one. SPREAD OUT!" Michael gave the command from a lookout post.

As the clone got close to the border he was stopped from crossing by a rune knight of Fiore. "HALT! You may not enter the Kingdom of Fiore without a visa."

"No wait I'm a citizen of Fiore." The clone showed the guard the palm of his right hand. "Your from Fairy Tail! What are you doing out here?"

"I need help. I'll tell you later why I was out here but other matters come first. There are a groups of citizens of Fiore trapped and being held prisoners in that auction house over there." Naruto turned and pointed over at a large building that looked like a church.

"Stop lying kid... That's a church! Not an auction house. Get lost!"

"I'm Naruto Dreyar grandson of the Master of Fairy Tail Makarov Dreyar. If I'm lying I'll allow you to sully the name of Fairy Tail. But if I'm right and your wrong you'll have to tell my grandfather why his grandson was sold as a slave. Think you can live for much longer after you say that to a wizard saint?" The groups of knights were silent they didn't know what to say or do.

"O-ok kid we'll help you. But we can move any farther than three hundred metres away from the border since we are a neutral country. Any more will be seen as an act of war."

Naruto pulled out a three pronged kunai and throw it to the ground as he walked back. "I'm guessing this is as far as you can move then?" The knight nodded. "Ok I'm just a clone so I'm going to pass this information to the real me and the prisoners. I'm going to transport myself and the others to this spot. Its going to take a lot of power for me to do this and shortly after I will collapse from exhaustion. So be on your guard. I can arrive at any moment." The clone dispelled himself in a puff of smoke confusing the guards who were watching.

Back in the cell Naruto and the prisoners were waiting for a clones to bring back information when Naruto stood up. "I got it and it looks like the rune knights are going to give us a hand in getting home. But first we need to get as close as we can to the border." The group where filled with joy. They never held much hope of the country trying to find them and this was amazing news. "Naruto. When we return back to Fiore can we come visit Fairy Tail with my daughter?"

"Yeah sure Lucy that would be fun!" The group moved out. As they got closer to the exit they ran into a large open area. "Wait this isn't what the path my clone took... IT'S A TRAP!" The group huddled together as they were surrounded by fifty men all holding different types of weapons. 'I'm don't want to fight these guys. If i do I'll have to use chakra and I won't have enough for the raijin jump... I wonder if that will work?' Naruto thought hard for a plan. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" One hundred clones of Naruto appeared. "TRANSFORM!" the open space was suddenly covered in smoke.

"The kid's using a smoke bomb cover the exits!"

"He's not here!"

"Get back to your positions then!" There was confusion between the men. They had no idea what was going on as the smoke started to clear they liked what they saw.

"Oh Mr Guard please don't hurt us."

"Yeah we don't want to play those types of games."

Every one of the guard's eyes were heart shaped as they looked at the hundred naked women posing in such erotic positions teasing the guards beyond their wildest dreams. 'I hope this jutsu doesn't affect me like this when I'm older' Naruto was embarrassed to call himself a male. His jutsu even affected the men in the group he was trying to protect 'Maybe this was a bad idea.'

"NARUTO! WHAT THE FUCK!?" Lucy roared at Naruto while she covered her daughter's eyes.

All the men collapsed from the sight. They couldn't withstand it any longer. The floor was red with the blood from every man's nose. While all of the clones dispelled the real Naruto transformed back to himself. "Sorry but I really couldn't be bothered fighting all those guys hehe sorry." Lucy slapped Naruto in the head giving him a comical lump. " YOUR DAMN RIGHT YOU BETTER BE SORRY!"

(Naruto vs Striker & Michael)

Naruto had to create a few more clones in order to help get the men out of the open space. They had made their way out of the building and the border was in sight. Suddenly two figures crashed into their paths.

"This is as far as you shall go." It was Striker who had already transformed.

(Salamander OST)

"I have to agree with my partner here. Your not getting past us." Michael grabbed a rock from the ground and held it tight in his hand. "ABSORPTION: STONE ARMOUR!" A rock armour began be grow from Michael's hand and covered his entire body. "Now let us begin Naruto!"

"Lucy... I want you to take all these people and run for those tree. When you see a kunai pick it up and run into Fiore. I'll be right behind you." Lucy nodded and lead all the clones who were still holding the men and the rest of the group away. Michael jumped into their path blocking their escape. "Where do you think you are going?"

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto created a single clone. He held out his right hand in front of the clone. It begin to spin chakra. "Michael you forgot one thing. When I first made our escape from that mill I placed a mark on everyone. And that includes." Naruto disappeared in a flash of orange and re-appeared behind Michael. "YOU! FLYING RAIJIN RASENGAN!" The back of Michael's stone armour craked and left a huge gape. He was sent flying forward and was only stopped by Striker who had caught him before he hit the side of the church. "This kid is actually stronger than he looks. He not even using that power like before and he still cracked your rock armour!" Michael needed a way to take the edge of Naruto he was too focused. "Do you know how I know where the lightning root is? while it is a medical herb its also used for smuggling. You see it can leave an odourless smell making it hard for dogs to track you with their noses."

"Do I really care how you knew? No. What matter is after I'm done with you two losers I'm going back to get another one." It looked like Michael's trick didn't work Naruto failed to fall for the trap. Slowly Naruto took a step at the duo. Picking the pace of his movement slowly he eventually starting sprinting towards them. Grabbing two kunai his threw the first one but they both dodged out of its way, their mistake. "FLYING RAIJIN JUTSU!" Teleporting to the kunai Naruto caught it and kicked both of them in the head sending both flying. Striker had struck his head on a stone pillar and was knocked out while Michael crashed into the wall. He emerged holding his head. "How could you be so powerful! My armour is made from solid stone and your cutting through it like hot butter!"

"It's because I spend most of my free time training my skills so that I can be the best that I can be. When I say I'll never back down I mean it!" Gripping his kunai tightly Naruto jumped behind Michael again but this time he stabbed his kunai into Michael's spine. This action caused the stone armour to fall off. "You stabbed my spine! You... BASTARD!"

"This was my last resort. If you had been knocked out cold from my last attack this wouldn't have happened. But I can honestly say this. Now that you may never be able to walk again it is no more than what you deserve. That was for all the slaves you have ever captured. Alive or dead I hope when they are no longer in this world they see the justice of what happened to you." Naruto walked away from Michael who passed out from the pain.

(Linetea Forest in Fiore)

Lucy and the rest of the group were being questioned by the rune knights after they escaped past the border. They had been taken to a safe location. Lucy held on to the kunai tightly hoping that Naruto would return soon. In a flash of orange Naruto return but collapsed as soon as he had arrived. "Come quick Narutos back!"

A day later Naruto woke up inside clover town just north of Linetea Forest. Waking up he saw Lucy and her daughter was beside his bed. "Ugh how long was I out for?"

"Almost a day. we were worried that you wouldn't wake up. We're all glad that your ok."

"Thanks Lucy... The Lightning Root! I didn't get one."

"It's ok we made sure we got you one before we left the forest." Lucy took out the root and placed it on Naruto's lap.

"Thank you Lucy. Is this your daughter?"

"Yes it is. I don't think you've meet before. Naruto I'd like you to say hello to my daughter Levy."

(Magnolia: Fairy Tail guild days later)

Naruto had returned to the guild with Lucy and Levy with him. He walked up towards his grandfather.

"Hey Jiji! I'm back!"

"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG BRAT I WAS WORRIED SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU!" Makarov comically chased Naruto around the guild. Lucy and Levy just watched as Naruto screamed for his grandfather to stop. "I'm sorry sir but we're the reason that your grandson is late." Makarov stopped and noticed the two women standing before him. "Hehe sorry about that." As Lucy told Makarov the story Naruto took Levy and walked over to Gray, Cana and Erza.

"Hey guys I'd like you to meet Levy she's going to be joining us here is Fairy Tail with her mom!"

"Its nice to have another girl our age in the guild I'm Cana and this is Erza."

"Its a pleasue to meet you Levy" Cana and Erza both shook hands with Levy.

"I'm Gray nice to meet you." Gray extended his hand towards Levy who screamed.

"DAMMIT GRAY PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" Before Cana could strike Gray Erza had beaten her the the punchline... Literally.

And cut! Writing that was a lot of fun. I found it a bit hard to write a good ending for this arc and it went through several different endings but I'm happy with the outcome. It lays the seeds of darkness that the Nine Tails had left on Naruto. Now time for some Q&A!

1) Could you put music tracks into your fight scenes? Honestly this is a great question and possibly the only time I'll listen to people suggestions on the story lol. I loved the idea and thought I'd try it out in the final fight for this arc. I will try to put it in from now on. Took me a while to find the right OST as I want to use Fairy Tail OST's but I might throw the odd Naruto one in there too.

2) Why are your chapters so short? It just the way I write my stories. I don't mind reading these long chapters but I prefer if you get right down to the nit and gritty lol.

3) How do you feel the way the story is going at the moment? Great question! I'm excited when I start writing these chapters. Kid of shows when I've posted three chapters in two days lol. I would've been happy if only a few people read this but looking at the numbers that have I'm over the moon!

and 4) will you be writing any more stories? Not at the moment I'm afraid. Reason being I'd rather wait until this story is over with as I kind of don't want too much on my plate so to speak.

I'm going to be taking a break for the rest of the week and I hope you enjoyed this chapter and arc. So till next time!
