I am proud to present to you all the 10th chapter of the story! Keep on reviewing as you are amazingly doing so far as it makes it all that worthwhile. Now let's get on with the show!
"Please seat yourselves." Master Makarov nicely said as he led everyone in before he locked the door behind them. The shinobi group gave him a curt nod and did as they were told.
Makarov sat in his chair and shuffled up some paperwork he had laying around on his desk. He looked at the people in front of him, "Now that we're all here, am I safe to assume that the skills you performed earlier was of the chakra nature you all told me about yesterday? I must admit that it's fairly similar in some sense to the magic that mages use but at the same time, totally different from anything that I have ever seen before." He told them as he was greatly impressed by the display of strength everyone showed during each of their matches.
They all gave him a sly smile as they were amused by the Master's words.
Naruto chuckled before he calmly informed him, "Yes it was of the chakra nature. There are major differences between the two natures of the shinobi race and the mages but looking at it from a general perspective, you can say that they are similar in some form," with the others nodding in agreement.
Makarov smiled as he understood what the blonde was telling him, "I say it was a rather amazing sight to witness." He said before humming as he thought for a while.
"Now let's talk about your ranks, shall we?" He asked as he observed the group as they all gave him a nod seeing as they were rather interested to hear what he would have to say.
The Master looked over at the Ice Princess before telling her, "Haku-san, your skills in the element of ice were impressive. Gray Fullbuster is considered a B-class mage and I am safe to say that you are at a higher level than he is. From what I have observed, you are clearly at the level of an A-class mage, therefore that is the rank I will be assigning you to." He finished with a smile before he took out a stack of papers from a cabinet beside his desk.
Haku bowed her head in appreciation, "Thank you Master. I will gladly accept the A-class status." She replied as she was happy to see that the rank she had just received was the same rank she held in the Elemental Nations.
Makarov smiled in response and handed her some paper before saying, "Please sign your name and details on this document and you'll be inducted as an A-class mage."
Haku excitingly filled out her information and handed the paperwork back to the Master, thanking him once again. The rest of the group smiled and congratulated her for her new status in the Guild.
The Master turned to Kushina and Mikoto and took out two documents from the stack of paperwork, "Kushina-san and Mikoto-san, it is quite obvious to me that you are both above S-class seeing as Erza-chan was considered the strongest female in the Guild. Normally I cannot hand over a power such as this like it is nothing because for one to become an S-class mage, one must go pass the S-class trial to obtain the rank. Eight participants are chosen every year by myself to take part in the trial, and the one who comes out on top is awarded the title of S-Class." He informed them in a serious voice and paused to see their reactions.
The two kunoichi blinked as they let this news sink in, frowning at the fact they wouldn't get the chance to become S-class mages right away considering they were both renowned as SS-rank kunoichi in the Elemental Nations. They nodded for the Master to continue with what he was saying.
"…however what I can do is make you unofficial S-class mages. What that means is you will both be able to take on S-class missions with this rank but after having a successful record of completed missions, I can safely sign you off as official S-class mages. So I hereby grant you, Kushina Uzumaki and Mikoto Uchiha, the title of unofficial S-class mage! Please fill in your details to finalize the process" He finished with a warm smile before handing them the necessary paperwork.
The two best friends looked at each other before grinning madly and squealed as they happily took the papers from Makarov. Haku, Naruto and Jiraiya congratulated them and to which they smiled brightly at them for it.
The Master turned to the toad sage and handed him a document before saying, "I know you are more than capable of being S-class material, Jiraiya-san and the others can vouch for you but for now I can only do what I did for Kushina-san and Mikoto-san and that is for you to be an unofficial S-class mage. I will make you an official one once I receive the statements of the completed missions you will partake in eventually. Please sign in your details so we can finalize the process."
Jiraiya grinned as he happily took the paperwork from Makarov and filled out the necessary information and then handed it back to him. Everyone congratulated him and he thanked them graciously for it.
Sighing, Makarov turned to the last person, "Naruto-san you are more powerful than I had originally assumed you to be. You effortlessly defeated my grandson without a scratch and that is something I have never seen anything before in my years as Guild Master. Quite frankly Naruto-san you are more powerful than S-class and everyone here knows it. However I can give you alone the title of official S-class mage as I know you are the most capable." He said to Naruto before handing him the papers.
"Do you accept the position?" The Master asked him in a serious voice.
Naruto smiled as he took the paperwork from Makarov before responding, "Thank you so much for the kind words. I accept the position for now, but get ready to hand me a higher status when you find a way to do so!" in a cheerful voice making the Master chuckle in return and gave him a happy nod.
He filled in his details and then handed the papers back to Makarov. Everyone was happy for the blonde and they congratulated him. Haku, Mikoto and Kushina wanted to kiss him there and then but they didn't want to do so in front of the Master nor the SUPER pervert they were already familiar with.
The three kunoichi were contemplating on how to express their feelings towards Naruto.
Haku put a finger to her lips as she recalled the breathtaking kiss she shared with the blonde and inwardly squealed upon remembering it. 'I just can't wait to kiss Naruto-kun again!' She thought to herself as a heated blush started to slowly form on her cheeks.
Mikoto and Kushina looked at Haku with a deep frown. They immediately knew what the Ice Princess was thinking about and grew depressed at that. 'I wanted to be the one that had Naruto-kun's first kiss!' They inwardly growled as they thought to themselves.
Makarov smiled as he looked over at the group of shinobi, "I'm glad everything worked out so well! Now there is the part about you all wanting to find out about your magic affinities." He said to them to which they gave him an eager nod as they were just anxious as ever to discover their magic affinities.
He got up from his chair and then sat down near the center of everyone as he started humming to himself.
"Stay perfectly calm as I need absolute stillness from all of you." He told them in a serious voice making them nod in response.
The Master kept with his position for a while before he started to pant, "This… is a slight setback." He said to them as he huffed before sitting back down on his chair.
"What happened?" All of them asked as they were confused as to what the Master was talking about.
Makarov sighed as he looked at them before saying, "What happened is that the magic that exists within you all is much more dormant than I originally thought. I can sense something from Naruto-san but I can't get any reading but I can't quite make out what it is. I am starting to think that the chakra system you guys have is acting as a barrier to prevent others from reading your magical energy. It's quite ingenious actually." The Master was quite impressed as their chakra system could help keep the group's magical talents a mystery.
They all went wide-eyed at the information.
"So how do we find out about our magical affinities then!?" They asked slightly angered at the fact that not even the Master was capable of discovering their dormant powers.
Makarov smiled looking at the confused group. He chuckled, "Well that won't be a problem as there is another way for us to find out about these powers of yours." The Master paused to see everyone's face perk up at this and chuckled once more before taking a deep sigh and continuing.
"There is this ancient stone that can use to find out about your magical affinities. The light silver colored stone is trapped in a light blue transparent box like structure. This ancient rock known as "The Stone of Kiyomi" was found by Mavis Vermilion, who was the 1st Guild Master as well as the co-founder of Fairy Tail. Legends say that this stone was once held by Kiyomi, the Goddess of Magic herself. However that legend was never proven. Anyways, this stone is located in a shrine where upon touching the box encasing it, looks into your very soul and will identify the magical affinities you may have. The box will start to open as the sides will peel off like flaps on the counter it is placed on and the flaps will point towards the magic styles engraved on the pillar. This particular method will decide upon what magic affinity or affinities you may have." He finished before sighing once more after his long speech and took an amusing look at the shocked faces of the people in front of him.
The ninja squad were at a loss for words. That ancient stone sounded so amazing that it was crazy to even think about. They grinned in anticipation at getting to know their affinities now.
"When can we go to the shrine?" They asked eagerly.
Master Makarov chuckled at their pleading faces before saying, "We will go there tonight after I leave my office. Mavis had built a special transporter that we can use to take us to there. The shrine is located in Tenrou Island, which by the way is the holy ground of Fairy Tail because it's the resting place of our 1st Guild Master."
The Master was also interested in going to the shrine again as only the Guild Masters of Fairy Tail and the people they brought along with them were allowed access. He wanted to see what type of magic each member held as he was rather intrigued after their earlier display of strength and prowess.
The shinobi group were surprised upon hearing about Tenrou Island and the significance the place held for Fairy Tail. They nodded their heads in agreement to the Master's plans.
"That settles it! You guys have some fun until then. You may come back when I am locking up the office and we'll head towards the shrine. Be back here by around 5:00 PM." Makarov stated as he looked at them and they agreed wholeheartedly and thanked him again for the help and he happily waved them off saying that it was the least he could do.
The group of five got up from their seats and glanced at the Master before exclaiming, "We'll see you later then! Have a good day!" with a smile and headed outside of the office.
They were really enthusiastic about going to the shrine as they wanted nothing more than to discover their magic affinities as well as witness the 1st Guild Master's resting place.
They shook their heads, snapping away from their thoughts. Seeing as they had two hours before heading back towards the Master's office, they walked towards the bar where they had promised to meet up with Erza, Mirajane, Lisanna and Elfman.
The shinobi group stepped inside the bar and saw their fellow mages sitting down in a booth by the counter.
Lisanna was the first to notice them as she exclaimed, "Over here guys!" cheerfully as she waved them over.
Erza heard the youngest of the Strauss siblings and perked up to see the ninja squad again. Erza was already starting to feel the dominating aura radiating off the blonde as she looked over at him with a reddening blush. "He really is a handsome man. Though he is surrounded with those women all the time and I can tell Mira-chan is also feeling strongly for him. Could he be the one?" She said to herself before taking a bite out of her strawberry cake and waved at the group.
Mirajane watched this from behind her counter and blushed as she saw Naruto again. She remembered the ice girl kissing him passionately as her demonic instincts once again demanded her to take him right this second. "Damn you instincts! Stop pestering me so much about Naruto-kun! If I act too fast, he'll never accept me. Now hush!" She yelled inwardly making her instincts hiss in protest before she started to wipe the counter vigorously to get her mind off the blonde.
Kushina, Mikoto and Haku noticed the looks on the two female S-class mages all too familiarly. 'So they also want Naruto-kun as badly as I do? Well not if I can help it!' They respectively thought to themselves as each of them started to blush beet red as an image of a shirtless Naruto appeared in each of their minds. They shook away their thoughts and then continued walking towards the group.
Naruto smiled seeing the group again as did the toad sage. They sat themselves in the empty seats in the booth and began conversing with them. Mirajane would also join them from time to time when she didn't have any work to do.
"So Naruto-san what ranks did you all receive from Master Makarov?" Asked Lisanna as she was curious seeing that he beat Laxus with such ease. The other mages nodded as well as they were also wondering the same thing.
Naruto smirked in response to that and gestured to everyone to start speaking.
Haku looked at them before shrugging her shoulders, "I was given an A-class mage status by The Master." She said.
The mages smiled and congratulated her but what they heard shook them.
"We were given unofficial S-class mage status!" Chirped a happy Kushina and Mikoto before eating the snacks that were laid in front of them on the table.
Erza and Mirajane knew the two kunoichi were more powerful than them, but sighed seeing as they had become that much weaker in the Guild now. However this would in turn drive them that much harder to grow stronger. Elfman and Lisanna were nervous of them, seeing as the two were more powerful than their sister and Erza. They congratulated the two kunoichi for their new status.
They looked at Jiraiya with a blank look when he told them that he had become an unofficial S-class mage as well because he didn't seem all that strong to them due to his SUPER perverted exterior but upon closer observation, they felt a strong power that radiated from him and so they could only nod dumbly and congratulated him.
"Naruto-kun became an official S-class mage!" Exclaimed Kushina, Mikoto and Haku with a grin on their face and looked at the blonde in question who just smiled in response and nodded in affirmative.
The mages were wide-eyed with their jaws hanging. "T-That's amazing!" They exclaimed seeing as official S-class mages are supposed to pass a trial but the blonde became one without having to do so. However remembering the fight he had with Laxus, they just shut their mouths as they realized that he was much more powerful than just a simple S-class mage.
Elfman slammed his hand on the table before rising with his arms held high, "Naruto's truly a man!" He boasted proudly making everyone around him sweatdrop, especially Naruto who slammed his head on the table in exasperation muttering, "I can't catch a break here either" under his breath.
After getting over their shock, they all began talking to each other as the time passed.
Jiraiya had 'other things' on his mind when he said, "I will be back soon" and left without another word. The others looked at each other blankly before shrugging their shoulders and continued with their talk.
Just then, they noticed two girls walking into the bar.
The first one had shoulder length blonde hair that was tied with a bright blue ribbon and chocolate brown eyes. She had on a blue striped tight top with a darker blue skirt and keys dangling to the side of her skirt.
The second one had long, mid-back length bright brown hair with two shoulder-length strands of hair framing her face. She had on a light blue bikini top and a pair of capri pants.
"Cana-chan! Lucy-chan!" Exclaimed Mirajane happily as she looked over at the two newcomers.
The two now known as Lucy and Cana blinked before hearing the familiar voice, "Hey Mira-chan!" They said and walked towards where their friend was sitting. They noticed that there were five other people amongst them as well. They looked at Naruto and blushed heatedly at his handsome appearance. 'Oh…my…God!' they squealed in their mind.
They also noticed Lisanna, Elfman and Erza sitting beside them as well and waved at them.
Lucy and Cana gave a small bow before saying, "Hey there, we are Lucy Heartfilia and Cana Alberona!" with a smile.
Extending a hand, Naruto introduced himself, "Hello Lucy-san and Cana-san! My name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." He finished before waving his arm for the others to introduce themselves.
"I'm Kushina Uzumaki!" Kushina exclaimed enthusiastically with a friendly wave.
"My name's Haku Momochi." Haku said before bowing slightly.
"Mikoto Uchiha!" Mikoto chirped, giving them a nod.
Lucy and Cana smiled before they sat down and began talking to the new members of the Guild.
(With Jiraiya)
Giggling could be heard inside the female bath house which confused the women bathing greatly as they didn't know where the sound was coming from. This was all due to a certain pervert reapplying himself to doing what he does best, being the SUPER pervert he truly was.
The toad sage was having the time of his life. As he was watching the women intently, he had to fight the urge to pass out from a major nosebleed with what he was seeing. He kept on fighting because if he didn't, it would cost him all of his precious research so he kept scribbling heatedly on his notebook.
A man tapped Jiraiya's shoulder slightly before asking, "W-What are you doing?" with a slight glare as he was observing the toad sage from a distance for a while now.
Jiraiya yelped as he turned around facing the man and sighed, "I am doing research. Now go away!" He exclaimed before scribbling down on his notebook furiously whilst his giggling continued.
"What research?" The man asked as he was rather curious now.
Jiraiya sighed as the person in front of him wasn't going to leave him alone for anytime soon until he answered so he put his notebook away and unsealed a certain prized possession of his. "I am doing research for the new books I will write here. Take a look at my latest one!" He proudly boasted before tossing him the book and taking his notebook out once again and observing the women.
The man looked at him and shrugged his shoulders. He opened the book entitled "The Icha Icha: Beach Paradise" and he slowly started to read the content, to see what the elder man was talking about. Time seem to slow down as he continued to read.
"T-This is the best thing I have ever read in my life!" He exclaimed with tears of joy in his eyes making Jiraiya gasp in surprise as he overheard this.
The toad sage turned around giggling, "I know right!?" He asked while tearing up with his new friend. The man gave wiped away his tears and then gave Jiraiya a serious look.
"I want for us to publish this magnificent book here in Fairy Tail. My name is Shiho and I am the owner of the Sorcerer Weekly." He said in a serious voice but an excited undertone.
Jiraiya went wide-eyed. "S-Sorcerer Weekly?" He asked as tears started to swell up in his eyes once more.
Shiho nodded with a proud look on his face.
"T-The one with all of those hot women?" The toad sage questioned as his eyes watered further.
Shiho slapped on a perverted grin before bobbing his head almost robotically.
"If… If I agree…" He muttered before tearfully asking,"…will I get to observe the models up close?"
Shiho smirked and nodded in the affirmative, whilst keeping his perverted grin intact.
Jiraiya didn't need to hear any more as he lost it completely and hugged the man tightly, sobbing in his chest.
"Let's do it!" He exclaimed happily before stepping back from the man, wiping away his tears.
Shiho grinned as he looked at the toad sage, "Great! Let's go back to headquarters and discuss this further." The owner of Sorcerer Weekly said with Jiraiya nodding in excitement and followed the man towards his office.
"Thank you Kami-sama!" He whispered to himself with a dreamy sigh before he started to giggle uncontrollably just thinking about all the women he would get to see modelling for him, unaware of the growl that was heard from up above.
(Back with the others)
Everyone stopped talking as they heard giggling close by. "What was that?" They asked as they looked at each other but frowned when they couldn't discover where the sound was coming from. They called off their short investigation and continued on with their conversation.
Naruto glanced at the time and realized that it was cutting it close to when he and the others had to meet up with Makarov. He looked at the rest of his group who understood what he was talking about.
"I had a lot of fun you guys but we have to get going, seeing as the Master wanted to talk to us." Naruto told the mages with a warm smile making them smile in return.
The shinobi group got up from the booth.
"We understand and we had a lot of fun as well. See you all later!" They chirped and then waved at the retreating group of people who waved back and headed their way towards Makarov.
Naruto and the others exited the bar, where met up with Jiraiya who seemed to have been happier than they had ever seen him before. Not wanting to waste time in questioning the toad sage, Naruto looked at them before telling them to hurry up. They gave him a nod and rushed towards where Master Makarov's office was. They arrived five minutes later and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Came the voice of the Master from inside.
The ninja squad opened the door to see Makarov putting away the last of the paperwork on his desk.
He smiled as he looked at the group. "Shall we get going?" He asked to which they all gave him an eager nod.
Makarov took Naruto and the others to a home where the outside read "Property of Mavis Vermillion" and he led them inside. They didn't have time to question the fact that they were trespassing into the home of the 1st Guild Master and just simply followed him.
Master Makarov stopped when he walked towards a locked door and took out a strange looking key and unlocked the door as a bright light glowed from the inside.
"This is the chamber of the former Masters and here we have the transporter that Mavis created as a shortcut to the shrine." He told the group who nodded in understanding.
Makarov turned to a strange machine at the center of the chamber and began to tamper with the keys to operate it. Naruto and the others waited patiently for the Master to finish with what he was doing. It didn't take that long before he turned to the group with a smile on his face.
"Alright, everyone grab hold of the transporter and we'll be on our way." Makarov said.
They all gave him a nod and placed their hands on the device. The Master hummed before punching in a few keys and a bright light passed through them before they were completely enveloped in it.
(At the Shrine of Kiyomi)
A light glowed brightly in the area before it diminished and everyone appeared in the shrine.
"Well this is it." Makarov said as he looked over at the shinobi group.
"This sure is something alright." Naruto stated before observing the area.
The shrine had an ancient feel to it, with marble flooring. There was a small pillar in the center which had a counter on top. The counter had a square blue box on the top of it, which they realized was the thing that held the Stone of Kiyomi on the inside.
They walked towards the pillar where Master Makarov told them to stand on the side.
"Alright. Let's see what affinities you all have." He told them before pointing at Haku to go first.
The Ice Princess gave the Master a nod and walked towards the box and placed her hands on it. Suddenly the box started to glow as the light rapidly began to intensify to which Haku removed her hands. The strange box opened up like flaps and the stone inside began to hiss. The flaps started to spin before stopping as they pointed towards the engravings on the counter. Haku looked over at the counter and grew confused with what she saw.
"Ermm… what does this mean?" She asked out loud and everyone walked towards her to see what she was talking about.
The Master looked at the counter and shared the same look as her. "It looks like an ice element but it is different." He said which confused everyone as they wondered what affinity the girl actually had.
"That's the affinity for Blizzard Magic." Came a voice from behind them making everyone turn around in suspicion.
Master Makarov froze as he heard the familiar voice before he turned towards the source of the voice. "M-Master Mavis Vermillion." He muttered causing everyone to look at him in shock.
'That is the first Guild Master of Fairy Tail?' The others thought before taking a closer look at the female.
Mavis was wearing a pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest are three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. She had very long, wavy, blonde hair that reaches down to her feet and she also had wing-like adornments around her ears.
She waved as she looked over at everyone, "Hi there you guys!" She chirped cheerfully making them smile at her childish like mannerisms.
"How are you here? Makarov informed us you passed away." Naruto said to her in disbelief and the rest of the shinobi group nodded in agreement. The current Guild Master was at a loss for words and could only nod dumbly as he couldn't make sense of the situation.
Mavis smiled at the blonde before replying, "I'm just a spirit, however I came here to help you all out seeing as I was observing from a distance."
Everyone grinned and gave her a nod. Mavis walked forward and looked closely at the engravings.
"The Blizzard Magic is similar to both Ice Magic and its variation of Ice Make, but it is the most powerful out of the three. How it is more powerful, you'll just have to perform the magic to see for yourself." She said and it made everyone look at her with surprise.
Haku smiled brightly at hearing this and thanked Mavis for her explanation. Having been called the Ice Princess in the Elemental Nations due to her having the Hyouton kekkei genkai, she couldn't have been happier with Blizzard Magic as her affinity.
Makarov motioned for Jiraiya to step forward and see what his affinity was. Doing as he was instructed, he proceeded to touch the box. The same process happened as it did for Haku before the flap pointed towards the engraving on the counter. Mavis looked at the engraving before smiling and giving her response.
"You have the Nature Magic affinity. This magic can be used to draw upon nature for power. There has only been one other mage that I know of that wielded this special magic so it is impressive to say the least." She said looking at Jiraiya who grinned in response thanking her for telling him that.
The toad sage was ecstatic as he could use his new found affinity of Nature Magic to further improve with his Senjutsu. It was a wild theory but it just might work and so he would definitely try it out later if it meant for him not to look like a toad every time he went into Sage Mode. He grew depressed remembering that his apprentice had fully mastered the art while he had yet to do so.
Upon getting called for her to go next by Makarov, Mikoto walked towards the pillar and repeated the process of the previous two. Seeing the blank look the female Uchiha had, the 1st Guild Master walked forward to see what affinity the stone showed her.
Mavis looked to where the flap pointed at before saying, "You have the Inferno Magic affinity. This particular magic is much more powerful than the Fire Magic we are familiar with. Only a mage with a ridiculous amount of natural fire affinity can hope to achieve this stage." She finished with a smile.
Mikoto blinked in happiness seeing as she was an Uchiha member, she had a natural affinity towards fire. Therefore Inferno Magic was excellent for her line of skills, so she thanked Mavis wholeheartedly for explaining this to her which she waved off happily. Mikoto idly wondered how Inferno Magic would compare to the Mangekyou Sharingan's Amaterasu.
Kushina went after her best friend and did the same thing as the others had done previously. She stepped back as Mavis came forward and observed the engravings on the counter.
"You have the Whirlpool Magic affinity which is a class above Water Magic, as the latter doesn't come close to the power the former holds. Before you, there has only been one other mage that I have seen with this affinity and you can learn more about it in due time." Mavis stated.
Kushina smiled and thanked her for the explanation. Seeing as she was an Uzumaki, having a water affinity was a given but Whirlpool Magic sounded absolutely amazing to her. Just the fact that her home village of Uzushiogakure meant the "Village of the Whirlpool", she couldn't have been happier receiving her magic affinity. The power of whirlpools gave her an idea that could easily help her out with her own jutsu creations and that made her smirk at the possibilities.
Naruto was the last one to follow through as he put both his hands on the box but his eyes widened in shock as he watched the engravings on the counter beginning to twist as it merged into one distinct image. He looked to see the strange symbol that had formed as the result of the polymerization of the engravings. As he couldn't make sense of the situation, he turned towards Mavis so she could explain what was going on.
The female Master looked on in disbelief. 'T-That… that isn't possible!' She thought to herself, trying to come up with a logical explanation for what she was seeing. Mavis told Naruto to repeat the process as she needed to double check if his supposed magic affinity wasn't a mistake.
Everyone grew confused at this but remained quiet for now and waited to see how things would pan out. Makarov and the rest of the shinobi group stepped forward so they could see what was happening first hand.
Blinking in response, Naruto proceeded to remove his hands from the box. Everyone watched in amazement as the singular image defused and dispersed back into their original positions. Naruto didn't exactly understand why Mavis had told him to restart the process but did so anyways as he figured she knew what was going on. The blonde Uzumaki placed his hands on the box once more and watched as the engravings once again fused together to form a singular image causing Mavis to step back slightly.
Makarov stiffened when he noticed the look of fear Mavis had on her face. The ninja squad grew confused as they were unsure of what was happening.
The 1st Guild Master just stood there frozen, unaware of the attention she was getting. 'So it wasn't a mistake. He actually does have that affinity.' She thought to herself with wide eyes before snapping back to reality as she noticed everyone staring at her in concern.
She shakily turned her attention towards the blonde saying "this…" before taking a deep breath to regain her composure, "…This magic was considered a myth, one not even I have ever witnessed before. You have the fabled Hurricane Magic. This magic was thought to be unachievable because for one, it requires enormous magic reserves to even activate its power and two, you need an inhumane amount of natural affinity towards wind and then some for you to even hope to wield this devastating magic. Rumour had it that all other magic paled in comparison to it." She paused as she was still contemplating on the fact how someone so young could wield such power. The very thought of fighting him upon the complete mastery of his newly discovered magic affinity made her shiver in fear.
While Mavis looked to be fighting an internal battle with herself, the others were shocked to the core with what they heard from her.
The three kunoichi paled upon hearing this as Naruto was already incredibly strong as a shinobi. Just thinking about how much more powerful he would become upon mastering his magic made them tremble as they silently prayed for the poor fools that would have the gall to challenge him. They felt a warmth inside them as they knew Naruto fought to protect those precious to him and knowing that they were amongst those that he cared deeply about, made their hearts soar with happiness and relief.
Makarov was silently thanking Kami-sama for having Naruto show up at his Guild and not fall into the hands of any of the Dark Guilds as it would prove catastrophic for all those in Earthland. He chuckled nervously at the request the blonde made earlier. "It seems like I will have to create a new rank after all but I'll have to deal with that troublesome council to do so." He mused to himself.
Naruto grinned as he heard this but was equally stunned. He thanked the shocked Mavis for this information and went deep into thought. He always had a high affinity towards wind in the Elemental Nations and this Hurricane Magic could be performed in unison to the jutsu he already had invented. Just the thought of assimilating the Rasengan with this legendary magic made him giddy wondering how his "Wind Style: Rasenshuriken" would fare in comparison.
Jiraiya started to think more deeply on the matter. On one hand, he was looking at Naruto with pride and joy and simply wondered how much stronger he would become with the mastery of his newly discovered magic. However his perverted senses started tingling as he now imagined his former blonde apprentice using his Hurricane Magic against the female population of Fairy Tail so they would be reduced to no clothing at all as he would dance around victoriously, marking way into a new era of his marvelous research which he would then dub as the "Icha Icha: Hurricane Chronicles" with his new friend Shiho nodding approvingly whilst taking photos for the happy memories. Just thinking about it started to make him giggle like his very own life depended on it as blood started gushing out of his nose like a water sprinkler. This very sight made the women around him glare at him heatedly before they officially snapped and started to beat on him continuously, yelling, "You stupid perverted hermit!" over and over, not losing their glare in the slightest. Mavis being one for hating perverts, began to cheer as she temporarily lost her depressing thoughts with the sight of the white haired pervert being put down.
The toad sage groggily woke up with his head swollen as the size of a watermelon and cried anime tears. He took out a handkerchief and began to sniffle as he sat down depressed. He looked at the women that had beaten him to an inch of his life whimpering "you…" and blew his nose into the handkerchief before sniffling again, "…you people are meanies!" He mumbled out loud as he frowned. He weakly continued "My friend Shiho wouldn't act this way!" The sannin countered before he turned to his former apprentice for help who just shrugged his shoulders saying, "You couldn't wait until you were alone could ya?" He smirked before the toad sage passed out unconscious from blood loss and dried eyes.
Everyone was back to normal, as they attempted to shake away their thoughts of the devastating power of Naruto's newly named Hurricane Magic.
In the background, Jiraiya woke up as good as new, like his previous beat down never happened. Everyone was surprised but sweatdropped at seeing the toad sage giggle again.
As Mavis was slightly better now, she looked at the blonde and told him, "However it seems that you have another hidden magic affinity that even the stone is having a hard time deciphering. Fret not as you will know about your further dormant abilities later on in your career as you practice your skills as a mage." She finished with a nervous smile.
Upon hearing this from the female Master's spirit, Makarov turned to the shinobi group stating, "I gave you all the magic book I had laying around in my office but the problem is that not much has been recorded about the types of magic you all have. Therefore I don't know how you can hone your skills as mages without actually learning the necessary spells required." He finished with a deep frown.
"Then how will we perform our magic if we don't know any spells regarding them?" They asked in confusion.
Mavis hummed for a while before turning to the group as she told them, "I know! There is a compartment in the pillar that has a book of magic inside. I read it once before and it has information about every magic style there is, including the ones you all have, in great detail I must add." She concluded with a bright smile when she saw everyone perk up at hearing this from her.
Naruto walked over towards the pillar and looked for the compartment. Underneath the counter, he found a button, pushing it, a hidden drawer opened up and he saw a large thick book laying around on the inside. Naruto grabbed the book and smiled when he read about the different types of magic, including the ones that he and the others had. He gave her a happy nod as he found what she was telling them about.
Everyone thanked the female Guild Master for all her help and she waved them off as she was happy to do so. "I better get going now! It was a pleasure meeting you all. Have fun!" She chirped before slowly vanishing into thin air leaving the others behind her smiling at her retreating figure.
"Let's get back to the Guild." Master Makarov said as he activated the button for the transporter. The others gave him a nod and stayed close to him as they were transported back to Fairy Tail.
(At Fairy Tail)
Everyone blinked before regaining their composure when they ended up back at the hidden chambers.
The Master walked out the doors with the others following him. They exited Mavis' quarters and appeared on the outside. "I will be at the bar and then I will turn in. Come see me if you run into any troubles." He said as he looked over at the shinobi group.
"Okay and thanks again Master for everything!" They exclaimed before separating from Makarov.
Naruto turned to the others and explained, "Let's all go to the open area where we had our exhibition match so we can learn how to perform our magic."
They nodded excitingly and headed outside of the Guild where they had their fights.
Passing civilians and mages smiled as they watched the group walking and they smiled back in return. They were happy that they were a part of Fairy Tail seeing as everyone was so at peace. It didn't take them long to reach their destination where they sat down and opened the magic book they received at the shrine.
The blonde ninja remembered that he had to inform them about the training he was receiving under the tutelage of Timaeus, the leader of the White Dragons. He cleared his throat before saying, "Guys, there is something you must know." He paused to see them looking intently at him giving him a nod to continue. "It all started when…" he stated before telling them everything.
They all went wide-eyed at what they heard. Naruto was learning White Dragon Slayer Magic and Kami was the one responsible for it. They were already shocked when they heard about the power of the Hurricane Magic Naruto possessed and now with this new style in addition, there was no telling how powerful he would become in the future as it would take years to fully master his new wind element.
"…wow" They mumbled as they didn't know what more to say making Naruto chuckle in amusement.
Getting over their shock, they turned their attention towards the magic book and opened it up to the beginning and began to read.
"Magic is the physical embodiment of the spirit. When the physical spirit of an organism connects with the spiritual flow of nature, the spirit forms Magic as a product of the connection. However, only ten percent of Earthland's population is able to use Magic. It takes an enormous amount of concentration and mental ability to use Magic."
They stopped reading as they realized that magic actually was similar to chakra which had the same sort of fundamental ideologies. Seeing as chakra is the molding of the physical energy present in every cell of the body and the spiritual energy gained from exercise and experience, they could see spot the familiarity between chakra and magic in this sense. Snapping from their thoughts, they resumed with their reading.
"To utilize Magic, a Mage must use Magic Power in their body, which is the source of Power for all Mages. It is composed of Eternano, which is the term devised to name particles of Magic.
Eternano dwells inside all living organisms and throughout the atmosphere. Eternano is the source of Magic Power for all Mages. Every Mage has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power. If the case becomes empty, Eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the Mage's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. However, there is another part of the Mages' Magic container that isn't normally used, and contains their dormant power called Second Origin. If the power within this second container is released, then the Mage will receive an enormous boost in Magic Power."
Everyone was captivated with this new information as it was quite interesting to say the least. Now having understood the basic fundamentals behind magic, they skimmed through to see where the listings of their magic types would be.
Haku perked when she saw her Blizzard Magic and looked intently at the page while the others patiently waited for her. After reading what she needed to know, she got up and walked towards the center of the area. She flicked her wrists as she got into her position.
"Blizzard Magic: Hail Storm!" She cried with her hands up in the air as the entire temperature around her began to drop significantly. Suddenly, mixed form of ice and water began to form on her hands as they shot up in the air and started to drop on the opposite side. Haku smiled brightly seeing the technique and rushed back towards the others.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised with Haku's new magic style as it was quite amazing. They smiled and congratulated her for performing the spell perfectly on her first try and she beamed at the praise.
Jiraiya started to read on his magic abilities seeing as Nature Magic was listed on the next page. He got up after reading what he had learned with the first spell on the page and walked towards the center of the area with the others watching him in anticipation as to what the toad sage would do now.
He got into his hermit stance before yelling, "Nature Magic: Dance of the Leaf!" with his right hand extended forward as leaves from the nearby trees began to fall off and floated around his hand before they rushed at the ground, merging into one as a loud 'slash' was heard and the ground had a large cut as a result. Having been satisfied with the technique, Jiraiya walked back towards the others.
Everyone smiled seeing the display as it was pretty awesome. Mikoto went next seeing as she was already reading about her magic style.
She stood at the center of the area and got ready to make her first attempt at performing magic. Calming herself, she got in a stance before shouting, "Inferno Magic: Scorched Flames!" she roared as an intense level of flames shot out from her mouth annihilating the dry patch of land where she had aimed her spell. She smirked at being successful and then walked back towards the shinobi group.
They all smiled at her technique and nodded in approval. Kushina put down the magic book as she had just finished reading her first spell and walked towards the center of the area as she got ready.
"Whirlpool Magic: Swirling Vortex!" She roared as a torrent of water shot out of her hands on the ground in front of her as the ground began to get sucked into the technique for one minute before it completely evaporated without a trace and the attacked ground had sunk as a result. Grinning proudly as she was happy with her first spell, she walked back towards the group.
Naruto was now up on the plate as he had just finished reading about his first spell and stood a little past the center of the area. He steadied himself for his new move and began to slowly channel the legendary Hurricane Magic from his body. The others watched on in awe as the wind around his body began to rapidly speed up before completely enveloping his body, leaving nothing but a faint shadow. The ground began to crack as a small crater formed under the sheer pressure of the potent magic energy as he slowly lifted his right hand in a diagonal chopping motion, and roared, "Hurricane Magic: Dynamic Wind Slash!" as the high gusts of wind only seemed to get faster and deadlier by the second. The wind left his hand completely as he brought it down in a swift diagonal motion towards an unused piece of land.
*BOOM*
Everybody covered their ears as a massive explosion was heard where the attack was thrown. Dust and debris began to hover for a split second before it flew in multiple directions. Luckily everyone wasn't sitting where the debris travelled, or else it may have caused a serious injury.
That's when Naruto realized…
That was only a basic attack.
He chuckled awkwardly at the display understanding that the power of this new magic wasn't something he could use to spar against someone with and would need large areas of land to even think of practising it. He realized that from his lack of control with the magic at the current moment, he would have to master it completely before he could judge how powerful he would want to set his attacks to be if his first attempt at a spell for Hurricane Magic was an example.
Everyone was shocked with the sheer power revolving around that technique. Their eyes widened at the size of dinner plates as they observed the crater that had formed as a result of the blonde's attack. They snapped from their trance when they saw Naruto trying to talk to them and chuckled sheepishly as they asked him what he was saying to which the blonde sighed.
"I was stating that we should get back to our house as it is getting late and Timaeus-sensei will be waiting for me in my mindscape when I fall asleep." He told them as he picked the magic book up.
The others nodded as it was the best course of action and so they headed towards their temporary home inside the Guild. Walking on their way back, they noticed civilians yelling that an earthquake had occurred moments before in fear and the shinobi group smirked as they knew what really happened.
After arriving back at their place, they waved goodnight to each other before retiring to their respective rooms to get a well-deserved sleep seeing as they had done quite a lot in one day.
Naruto crashed into bed as soon as he entered his room and fell asleep rather quickly.
That was when he was pulled into his mindscape.
(Inside the mindscape)
Timaeus was waiting patiently for his apprentice when a bright light passed and Naruto appeared with a smile on his face.
"So Timaeus-sensei, let's get to it shall we?" He asked with a grin on his face.
The leader of the White Dragons looked at the blonde intently before saying, "I thought you'd never ask, Naruto."
The apprentice smirked as he watched his teacher charging at him. He got in his stance and steadied himself for another two weeks' worth of training inside of his mindscape.
Author's Notes: As per a repetitive request from a lot of the people from my PM's and reviews, the next chapter will revolve around what is going on in the Elemental Nations after Naruto scarified himself to save everyone from destruction during the war. I have been given some nice ideas revolving this chapter and I will make something that is going to meet those that have requested me with the part, happy as it will definitely meet their standards.
Now as for talks. There will be those that are wondering why Lisanna is still there and the answer is, I made her to be. You have to realize that I made Naruto different from the series and that means I am entitled to marking change in Fairy Tail as well. If I wanted to follow through with everything that has happened in the series, I would just watch the anime instead.
To those wondering about the White Dragon Slayer Sting, he will not be made a 'true' dragon slayer in my story but instead, I am working on an alternative method to keep him a White Dragon Slayer.
To those that will want to judge about Naruto's Hurricane Magic powers, don't bother ranting about it. I know what powers I am giving the character because I MAKE the main character stay as the main character. Before you say that he will steam roll his enemies with the Hurricane Magic, he WILL NOT as in the chapter itself, he had a tough time controlling it the first time. It will take him several years mastering it so he won't be using it on his enemies until it is absolutely vital and that will be unlikely, believe me. Those listing as Naruto being overpowered, read the first three chapters and you will realize that the Naruto I have created has actually learned something in his training.
To : Wow thanks a lot for the awesome review man! You know, you have been thinking on the same lines as I have been thinking for the story so I am impressed by your suggestions. Well what I will choose will be a secret but don't worry as the Konoha's fate will be decided next chapter. Yeah I will be sure to do that. Thanks again!
To everyone else, thank you for the amazing reviews and the support you've given me. I'll see you guys next chapter! Later!
