A Fanfiction by: Sniper Artist
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail. I am only using their respective characters for a fanfiction.
Summary: Upon his tearful death, Naruto meets a dragon. Given a second chance to live, he is sent to Fiore or more specifically Magnolia. Pre-canon Fairy Tail. Naruto X Fairy tail
Magnolia streets.
Walking down the streets of Magnolia, Naruto noticed an abundance of looks that he got from the civilians. They were all of respect and admiration, though he was used to it, the feeling of being known in a positive light was great. All the mages that he had walked by gave him nods of acknowledgment as well, seeing as he did fight Gildartz equally for a time.
Three days had slowly passed since the tournament. The town had been going through a few changes due to the damage from the numerous explosions that occurred. Houses were being rebuilt, parks being refined back anew and lastly the guild had been easily fixed with the help of Lucky's wood magic and Naruto's clones. The detained Valkyries and their captain were turned over to the council for interrogation a couple days ago, not that the Jinchuuriki cared much.
Gildartz had been showing signs of leaving, and Naruto had no idea where or how long exactly. But according to way he spoke after the tournament, it would be for a long time. The blonde sighed, he would have to wait if he wanted to finish the match that was started during the night of the Mage Mash.
Luxus had also been acting a bit weird lately, always spacing out when someone was trying to speak to him. After a while, he just gave up on figuring out the elder teen's problem. It wasn't the first time Naruto had to deal with brooder.
"Master called for a Guild meeting today. Probably wants to address the incident. Forgetting that... I guess it's a good time to bring Natsu to the ruins later as well. It should be a ten day trip. Hehe, now's a good time to use those vacation hours I got for participating in the Mash" Naruto kindly thought with glee. The young Dragonslayer had been bugging him about training since his offer that day, always asking for help on his dragon roar and such. The rosy haired boy was a great student when he was focused correctly.
"Naruto." A voice spoke from his shoulders, tilting his head he met the eyes of Tayuya. She had told him about herself being called an exceed but it seemed to end there due to the fact that she was reluctant to share her past. Naruto nodded, understand her definite hesitance. Some things are just meant to stay in the past.
"Yes, Tayuya-chan?"
"You mentioned something about going to the The Ruins of the Dark Night with that other Dragonslayer boy, right?" She asked.
"Yes, he wanted to search for some clues on finding Igneel. Why do you ask?" Closing her eyes in thought, she seemed to be contemplating something.
"There has been...terrifying rumors spreading in that region. An informant of mine sent me a message that detailed all the information that was spreading." She responded with a business like voice, showing that she was dead serious. Naruto perked his eyes in interest.
"And what are these rumors?" Sighing, she decided to relay the information as she had read it earlier.
"It's hard to explain. It seems rumors of...Euthanasia being a practice there has been spreading." She started only to be disrupted by Naruto quickly.
"Is that weird? Where I come from, elder folks whom are deemed...unsurvivable were willingly euthanized. Some even went happy." He replied dully, not seeing any interesting in the rumor.
"Let me finish...I meant that people have been performing euthanasia on others. With or without their consent..." That stopped Naruto in his tracks, suddenly feeling the need to interrupt her.
"Why are you making it so complicated? Isn't "murder' a better term to use than "unwilling euthanasia'?" Naruto replied, face scrunching up slightly. Tayuya sighed and just gave him the paper. Grabbing the information, he read it and widened his eyes in shock at the contents.
"Unbelievable...Even in this world. Where things seem so bright...I guess I have grown slightly complacent since I've been here." He thought while pocketing the paper for later reference. Shaking his head in disgust, he proceeded to increase his pacey walk to the guild to get an early start for the day.
"Tayuya, we're going to inform the master. He must know about this." The exceed nodded and sighed in content.
?
In the far skies that seemed to be unending, a flying ship floated mystically as if it were eternal. The gigantic transport flew close to the clouds, as if it were hiding itself from enemies from below. Within the ship stood two figures, one real and the other holographic looking as if he they were conversing.
"Is it ready?" The man in the hologram spoke, patience laced in his attitude. He wore a black garb and hoodie that seemed to do a great job at covering his face. The hooded man also wore a crest on his right shoulders that seemed to fit as a one way shoulder pad. The crest had the words "Juudaime' printed boldly on it.
"Yes sir, we are currently looking into it as a matter of fact." This time as woman spoke, she was kneeling down with her face to the floor as if in total submission. She had silky red hair and glasses that seemed to fit her delicate features. She wore a white coat with a crested spiral sign on the front, signifying her position as the head of her division.
"Very good, it is very important that you summon him here as well. Like you, he is my top general. Now, please get to work Ursane. If you are successful, then I just might pay you a little...visit later." He said with little subtle hinting, though that was not the case as a full blown blush appeared on her face.
"Y-Yes! Anything for you, my Lord!" She spoke with a bit of haste, eliciting a small chuckle from the hologram figure.
"Well, that will be all for now. That old fool Hades is calling me for an assignment." He said with much distaste. The red head nodded and proceeded to stand up straight once again.
"I understand. By your leave, my Lord." And with that the man disappeared from where he stood. The now identified woman, Ursane, left without another word. Exiting the door silently and walked with a casual spring.
As if the conversation never happened.
Fairy Tail
The blonde walked down the streets with a bit of urgency in his springs. He saw his renewed guild and marched in quickly, searching around for his master. Walking over to the direction. Makarov saw him and smiled, casually waving at the blonde.
"Yo, Naruto. The meeting hasn't started yet so why are you here so early?"
"Master, I have dire news." Naruto told him in a hushed whisper, instantly earning a look of confusion from the elder man.
"What's up?" Naruto shook his head, gesturing to the door behind them.
"Let's talk in the back. Tayuya has an interesting piece of...information to share." The old man's face suddenly turned serious, recognizing his tone. Walking to the back door, he made sure no one was listening in as they spoke.
"What do you have?" Taking out a piece of paper, he let the old man read it. As he finished, Makarov sighed and shook his head.
"This rumor was just confirmed a mere five hours ago. I got a call from Bob, the Guild master of Blue Pegasus. He asked for some back up due to a little situation that's been going down recently." The man spoke in a tired tone.
"Ironically, I was about to send your team. This is perfect, seeing as how Tayuya-san over there has an informant nearby, you can get some additional info." The blonde smiled inwardly, knowing what the old man was hinting at.
"You know what this means, don't you? Naruto." The young sage nodded in glee.
"It means that I no longer need to have that talk. It seems my performance in the tournament has increased my credibility." He thought kindly to himself.
"Good, so I won't bother hinting it at you. Thanks to your performance in the MM tournament, the council of mages has agreed to upgrade your status to S Class. From here on out, you will be able to take S-class missions." He told him, giving the younger man a pat on the back.
"Congratulations. I planned on announcing this right before telling them of Gildartz's long term mission." Nodding, he decided to ask him a question.
"Will I be able to bring my teammates along with me on these S-classed missions?" Sighing, the man nodded.
"Yes. Back when Luxus led the Raijinshuu, he was also the only S-classed mage. To take such a mission, you need atleast one S-ranked mage and the rest must be over B-class. Luckily for you, Cana and Lucky fits the description. No offense Tayuya, the council doesn't really know of your ability to use magic so they didn't bother with you." She shook her head, obviously not caring what humans thought of her.
"I don't care."
"Cool." Naruto said.
"Good, now! Here's your first assignment." He threw a folder of documents at him, allowing the blonde to catch it with ease.
"You are to go to the guild, Blue Pegasus and report to Bob. He will explain the situation to you in full detail. I expect you, as the leader of Team Otherworld, to debrief Cana and Lucky." Naruto smiled and nodded to the man.
"I won't let you down, Boss." Makarov nodded to him, pleased with his reaction.
"You are now a role model for children in this city, Naruto. Like Erza is to the young sorceresses, you are now to the young sorcerers. Expect to be trounced by paparazzi any day now." Chuckling at the joke, Naruto turned to leave before he remembered his promise.
"Crap. I promised Natsu that I'd bring him to the Ruins of the Dark Night." Makarov shook his head.
"He can't go with you Naruto. The boy, while powerful, is far to immature to handle an S-classed mission. I am already leaving Cana and Lucky's sanity as your responsibility. You don't need Natsu on your hands as well." Sighing, the blonde submitted.
"Ah well, how about this? After the mission is completed, I can use my vacation hours right?" He nodded.
"Then, can you send Natsu to Blue Pegasus after I inform you of the mission completion? If I'm right, it's only a ten hour train ride from here to there. I'll take him to the ruins and back. It won't take to long, the place is empty." Makarov gave him a deadpan look.
"You really don't know do you?" He spoke slowly.
"What?" Naruto asked, shifting subtly.
"That Natsu has a chronic motion sickness issue." The blonde was close to laughing at that, he hadn't known at all.
"Ah well, he'll have to deal with it." Makarov nodded.
"Very well, I'll tell him."
"Thank you. Well, by your leave. I need to go prepare for the mission. Getting new gears and such." The old man dismissed him and followed.
"The meeting is in thirty minutes."
Streets of Magnolia
As he left the building to go find an equipment shop, Naruto walked with a noticeable spring in his step. He was glad to have finally gotten his promotion, seeing as he entered the tournament for the sole reason of it.
"So, what will you do?" Tayuya asked as they were walking.
"It's a mystery but we'll figure it out. We're leaving as soon as the master finishes the meeting." Without saying another word, they silently walked to the local armory shop. The building was a medium sized house with traditional sliding doors. Entering, he was welcomed to the very interesting sight of Cana, Lucky and Erza all there in a group.
"Oh?" He said aloud, catching their attention.
"Naruto, Tayuya, how are you two today?" Erza said first, waving casually at her friend. The blonde returned the gesture and smiled at them.
"I am fine." Tayuya replied dully, then looked at Naruto whom continued.
"Good. Just here restocking on some equipment. What about you girls?" This time it was Cana that answered from the side.
"Well, ya see. Erza here needed help in picking out armor. I dunno anythin about armor really so I have no idea why she called me here." The brunette told him, scratching her head sheepishly. Chuckling, Naruto walked over and patted softly her on the back.
"Ah well, it's the thought that counts." Nodding with a grin, she stepped aside. Allowing Lucky to get a wave and smile.
"So, any idea on what the meeting's about?" The violet haired teen asked with an innocent expression adjourning her face.
"I talked to the master earlier today. He said it was something about Gildartz or something. Not sure." Erza quirked an eyebrow.
"That's odd. Well, I guess we'll just have to see. Must be big news if it involves Gildartz." Nodding, the blonde walked around and started his browsing. Going over the armor section, he eyed a few before picking a black under armor type wear.
"Why are you buying that? Those are for Samurai." Cana commented, raising her brows in question. The blonde shook his head, whilst walking towards the counter.
"It's very light and moderately durable. This armor, which costs only about as much as a video game would, could save my life one day..." He answered with slight wisdom edging his voice. She nodded, understanding his reasons.
"When you put it like that, it makes sense." And with that, the girls continued their shopping. After fifteen minutes, they decided to head back to the guild before the meeting started.
Fairy Tail
"Alright you kids, let's get this started!" Makarov started, eying all those within the building. His S-class mages were in the crowd with Luxus, Fried and a well hidden Mistgun on the second floor. Gildartz was sitting down on the stool next to where the master was, drinking with leisure. The rest were sitting around the food court, awaiting his speech.
"To start off, I wanted to tell you all about the job well done on the emergency order. The council is actually pretty impressed... shocking I know." He added eliciting a few laughs, the fact that the council hated them were public. So it was weird to hear praise from them once in a while.
"I also have a few announcements to make." Casting a brief look towards his ace and quickly resumed.
"As some of you may have know, I made a deal with Gildartz which was the sole reason he was in the tournament in the first place. The truth is...he asked me for permission to take the Hundred year mission!" Gasps arose from the guild, looking at the man sitting down with shock. They were not ignorant to the famed hundred year quest being working mages.
"B-but old man! That's a suicide mission..." Natsu started, losing some of his voice.
Then a sudden laugh roared throughout the building, everyone looked around for the source and saw Luxus with his arms crossed and eyes closed, a smile adjourning his face.
"Interesting. So, you're finally aiming for the top huh?" Gildartz grinned at the younger man, nodding his head.
"Something like that..." Standing up, he took a good luck at all his friends and comrades.
"I wanted to tell you all this before I left. Don't worry about good ol' me, alright? I decided to take this mission for a few, very personal reasons and I didn't want to worry you all for the next three years after all. But as you all noticed during the match, my strength hasn't rusted at all during the years. I'll be gone for a while, so don't cause to much trouble! Understood?" He exclaimed causing most the guild to yell in confirmation. Some were a bit teary, already going to miss there friend. Erza and Mira smiled from where they stood, having faith that the man would return safely.
"A brave man." Naruto mumbled as he watched everyone crowd the taller man. His respect for him raising even more than before. After ten or so more minutes, the master calmed everyone down saying that he had one more announcement.
"The next things I have to say...well it's a promotion!" He looked towards the area where the resident blonde was and clapped his hands.
"Today, we crown our new S classed mage, Uzumaki Naruto!" Turning their heads surprised, the guild saw a grinning Naruto waving his hands in a nonchalant manner. Many shouts of congratulations met him from numerous people including the other S classed mages, before he was confronted by his teammates and friends.
"Awesome! Congratz Naruto." Cana gave him a smile and hug, eliciting a few wolf whistles in the back. Lucky voiced the same and patted him on the back, happy for her friend.
"Not surprising..." Luxus spoke from above, eying the whiskered boy with praise. Though he wouldn't ever admit it out loud, he thought the guy deserved to be on SS class. After hearing about the fight from Fried, being able to land a hit on the man is enough of a reason to put him near SS class. He respected strong people, that was a known fact.
Therefore, he respected Naruto.
"Hmph! I have more competition." And with that in mind, he walked to his table. Silently thinking of new ways to utilize his powerful lightning magic in the near future.
"Congratulations on your promotion." A voice spoke from the corner. The blonde sage turned his head and saw the familiar face of Fried walking towards him, accompanied by a grinning Bixlow and an Evergreen who's eyes were comfortably looking elsewhere.
"Yeah! I heard you were pretty good. Well, I guess Evergreen over here can vouch for that!" Bixlow said, chuckling at the slight twitch that was forming on said woman's face. As for Evergreen, she didn't say anything back. Knowing that it was indeed very true.
"Thanks guys. Looks like we're on the same boat, eh Fried?" The sage replied, glancing over to Gildartz whom was making his way towards himself.
"Indeed. If you ever need tips, be sure to ask." Nodding at his offer, they shook hands with on another. A sign of pure respect.
"Yo! Can I borrow Naruto from ya real quick?" Gildartz finally spoke, gesturing to the second floor. Nodding again towards the man, he followed him up the steps for the first time.
Arriving at a secure place, Gildartz to a moment to study his own thoughts before speaking. There were a lot of things he could say but that wasn't how he did things. Short and sweet was always his favorite saying at times.
"I'll get straight to the point. You are a very powerful mage Naruto and I wanted to ask you of a favor." Taking a deep breathe, he scratched the back of his head, a serious look upon him.
"Of course."
"Well...how do I put this? You see Naruto, the world of mages isn't that simple. I know, shocking right? That man from before, Ivan. You remember him?" Naruto nodded, remembering the night as easily as anyone could.
"He's been up to something and I don't know what. But it's easy to tell that he's aiming at us, Fairy Tail." Understanding his plight, the Naruto spoke up.
"You want me to make sure the guild is ok?" Gildartz half nodded, sighing in content.
"That too...and I want you to keep and eye on Luxus." Widening his eyes by a mere fraction, Naruto's face scrunched up in confusion.
"Why?"
"Because, Ivan's full name is Ivan Dreyher. He's his father..." Realization dawning upon him, Naruto nodded in content.
"I see...how troublesome. Very well, I'll keep a close eye on him. Anything else?" This time the man smiled genuinely, making Naruto look on in interest.
"Get stronger! I know that you were a bit disappointed by the ending a few days ago. So was I. We are both very powerful mages with egos. Some time in the future, I will return and kick your ass sonny! So get stronger and we'll fight it out." Naruto nodded in acknowledgment. It was something he's accept in a heart beat. The chance to beat an opponent whom was considered to be standing on top of the world was an opportunity he enjoyed.
"The next time we fight, it'll be a no holds barred. We go with full power. Hell, I'll even find us a good place to duke it out with out interruption." The man added, offering a hand to the younger jinchuuriki. Naruto accepted it without any hesitation.
"Men with power will always find the need to prove themselves to the world. Those who say otherwise are liars and cowards." The blonde quoted smoothly. Jiraiya had told him that many times and even published it within his famous series of books.
Gildartz chuckled. "Indeed." And with that, the two mages walked back down to the first floor.
"I'm leaving tomorrow in the morning. This will be the last time we speak in the three years. I'm goin home to finish packing up, then I'll hit the sack early. Don't wanna waste too much energy." And with that, Gildartz proceeded to leave slowly. It was a sad moment but many believed in him to return in one piece. Naruto especially, knew that he would return.
CRRRRSH!
The sound of the wall being completely shattered was heard, immediately drawing attention from the entire guild. The tall man chuckled, sheepishly.
"Ahehe...woops. I'll pay for that when I get back..." And with that, Gildartz dashed home without a single intent of paying at all. After a few moments, the entire building shared a familiar laugh. One of amusement, nostalgia and companionship all in one.
This was Fairy Tail, home to some of the most weirdest people on the planet. Much to their own pleasure.
After the meeting
"So...you're saying that we're going on an S ranked mission." Cana spoke slowly as if having a difficult time understanding the phrase. The meeting didn't last too long and most of the members went home soon afterwords. Naruto, however, needed to inform them of a new mission they had received.
"Yup." He replied dully. This time it was Lucky that stepped forward.
"And...you're saying that we're going right now...As in right now, right now." He nodded again.
"Yup."
"..." There nothing to be said as Cana and Lucky both continued to stare at the blonde as if he were crazy in the head. No surprise for him really, already being used to it from both life times. In fact, it was always an amusing sight to see.
"What's wrong? I thought you'd both be excited..." They shook their heads at his comment.
"It's not that...but are we really ready for that? I mean, you are Naruto but how about us? We just finished our first A ranked mission just a week ago." Understanding their plight, he sighed and started to re-think his conclusion.
"Well...if you two don't want to go, I guess I'll inform the master that I will be going alone. No sense in forcing yall to go eh? I can handle any measly Dark guild." The sage replied, his eyes closed off.
"W-wait a second! I didn't mean it like that...We're just a little shocked. I mean, this is huge! Kinda being overwhelmed here y'know." The brunette voiced quickly, eliciting a grin from the resident blonde.
"Ah well, I was planning on going now but I don't want to rush you two. I'll be leaving tonight then and well, if you guys are coming then meet me at the train. You don't have to go, just saying before hand. No pressure at all so don't come if you don't feel adequate." He finished with a small smile, walking off to the direction of his home.
"What should we do?" Lucky said as she watched Naruto leaving beyond the horizon. Like Cana, she was also a bit overwhelmed by Naruto's casual approach to an S ranked mission. It was no secret to the world that lives were indeed lost in those missions.
"Hmm." The brunette didn't have much to say, still remembering the sage's smile. She was unfamiliar with the look, seeing as Fairy Tail was always surrounded by happy features and laughter. It reminded her of a smile someone would use if they were about to go off without any reason too. A rather sad smile.
That Night
The silent night was always a comforting aura for him to be by. The winds were always more gentler at night then during the day. The breeze calmed his face, bringing about a genuine smile due to the sheer beauty of the scene. Naruto looked up to the stars, wondering if he'd ever see one in his future life. Feeling a tapping feel from his shoulders, he came eye to eye with his exceed partner.
"Are they coming?" She asked tiredly, obviously not welcoming the idea of traveling during the night.
"Dunno. I'll wait for about twenty more minutes. Don't want Bob to wait too long do I? Besides, train ain't here yet."
"There is no need to say such a thing. I've seen the man around during my travels. He is very patient albeit a little...weird." She added, smirking to herself.
"Weird? What do you mean?" Naruto asked, bringing out a chuckle from the blue cat.
"You'll see. He is a very odd man but powerful nonetheless. He may even be a match for you. Well...maybe. I have never seen either of you fight at full strength before. Though I think I've seen a hint of your full power..." She mused, remembering he tournament as if it were yesterday. Her muse was halted as the blonde chuckled.
"Nah...Both Gildartz and myself were no where near our full power. Didn't want Magnolia to be destroyed now do we?" Laughing at her slightly shaken look, he patted her on the head, much to her discomfort.
"Tch! Well one day. I will see your hidden power one day." The blonde grinned and shook his head.
"I hope no one ever meets my full power." He thought sadly, ignoring the Kyuubi's pout from the back of his head.
"So, what is this mission about?" Tayuya asked.
"I'll explain once we hit the road. Bob will be giving us a full description later on."
Looking at the sky once more, he began to think of the few months he'd spent here. His first meeting with the guild to now. It didn't take him long to built a powerful reputation and recruit good friends. His best skill was always finding ways to create more friends and bonds of trust.
Now he was thinking of his teammates. The relationship he'd created with Cana and Lucky was one of trust. Trust was always a need for teamwork or they wouldn't be otherwise. And now he trusted them to make a decision of whether or now they would come. It didn't matter to him if they came or not, but he wanted them to make sure that the decision they made was one without regrets.
?
In a clear white room laid many different types of runes and seals that covered nearly the entire floor and half the wall. In the middle of the intricate array laid a half dead body, in a sacrificial stance.
"Hm. Activate the seal!" One lone woman barked. In another room beside the white room sat atleast fifteen scientists watching with full attention, wanting to figure out the rune's true nature. Their master had told them of it's importance and to say they were interested was an understatement.
As the words left her mouth, the runes and seals began glowing dark red. Everyone knew what that meant, being scientists. When an offering died, red was often a fitting color to signal it. The scientists looked at the sacrificial body and indeed saw that it was slowly disappearing.
"It's working..." A red head spoke as she saw a second body being materialized. Her lord had given her many materials to work with, one including that of seals and forbidden researches. Now she was watching her hard work in action, excitement filling her body powerfully.
The sacrificial body had now completely disappeared and was replaced by another body. A man with long dark black hair, light brown eyes closed and a very feminine face overall. He laid naked and seemingly unconscious to them.
Approaching the body, the fifteen scientists started taking multiple notes on their success. Sounds of pens scribbling on paper was the dominant sound as the red headed woman looked at the face of the man they had summoned.
"I can't believed it worked. This seal...the Kenkon Kawirimi (Universe Replacement) seal actually worked. So this man is actually one of my Lord's greatest generals of war? He doesn't look very powerful...Maybe we made a mistake." She thought with dismay, obviously displeased with the possibility of disappointing her master. Closing her eyes for a mere second, she widened her eyes as a scream was heard from behind her.
"Wh-" Was all she could before half turning into ice. Turning her head around, she saw the formerly unconscious man looking at her with a powerful glare.
"Who are you...and where am I?" He growled dangerously. The woman was slightly shaken by the seemingly harmless man turning into a dangerous predator.
"I-I am Ursane! My Lord asked me to summon you here..." The man rose his brows, still confused.
"Lord? Who is this Lord!" He replied.
"H-He suspected that you'd be hostile like this so...he told me to give you something." Gesturing to her front pocket, the man took out a plain, small piece of folded paper. Reading the contents, a slow smirk began to arise from his features.
"I see...so the Juudaime has called me to battle once again. Ha! This will be fun!" Laughing hysterically at the situation, he unfroze her, much to her relief. The dark haired man looked at the woman with amusement.
"So...you are serving him eh? Take me to him. He owes his me a damn good explanation." She nodded.
"Very well. I shall call him to the ship. But first... can you unfreeze my subordinate?" Looking at her frozen lackies, the man smiled innocently and shattered them to pieces, shocking the red headed woman at his casualness.
"That is what they deserve for summoning me while I was busy. You are lucky that I need you to bring me to your "Lord' or you'd be dead as well." She nodded, intimidated by the man's calm but dangerous aura. Looking at him carefully, she noticed a veteran look in his eyes. The feeling he was giving off was almost as sinister as her own master but in a different matter. Now she saw it. The monster that they had summoned.
The mighty Leviathan had finally awaken from his cold slumber.
Magnolia
Twenty minutes into waiting and so sign of his friends left him slightly disappointed. Not at his teammates but rather at the decision they made. There was no sight of them.
"Well, time to go. Are you gonna be asleep? The trip will be pretty long y'know..." Naruto said aloud.
"Hm." Hearing the train approach, he began walking away slowly.
As he was about to enter, a card flew down before him along with roots growing on his foot. Smiling at the sudden gesture, Naruto turned around and saw both his teammates running towards him at full speeds.
"Wait for us!" They screamed out, carrying numerous bags on them.
"YOUR LATE!" He yelled pointing at the train behind him. Smiling when they both tackled him and a half asleep Tayuya in right before the door closed. When they got up, the team shared a small chuckle.
"Sorry, we were just packing." Cana told him with a smile. The blonde nodded and gestured to the seats behind them.
"C'mon...I'll give you guys the briefing." They nodded, now entering their professional stance. As Naruto was in front of the seats he looked at them with a more genuine smile.
"I'm glad you guys came...Would have been boring if I had to do this myself." He said, eliciting a growl from his shoulders.
"Oh...sorry hehe. I meant, do this alone with Tayuya." Chuckling, he placed the folders in front of them.
"So what's in this?" Lucky voiced.
"This is a brief description of the request. Apparently, a Dark guild has been running a muck around a certain area. Blue Pegasus would usually handle this area but they sent a help request. Most of their members have been out of action recently ya see." Opening the document, gasps came from them as they read of the situation.
"T-this is terrible." The violet haired teen spoke, her brunette friend also agreeing from the side.
"Indeed. Bob will give us a full briefing later. So for now...let's enjoy the ride."
At Blue Pegasus
"WHAT!"
The scream shook everyone within the vicinity. The source of which was a green haired, dark eye woman that looked to be near her twenties. She had many followers behind her much to the master's displeasure.
"What do you mean by that? Why are you giving me this job tomorrow! I don't want to work with some stupid Fairies! They always cause a lot of trouble. Me and Ichiya will be enough!" The rant went on and on until the master, Bob, finally grew tired. He was usually a very patient...man. But there were times when the woman in front of her just drove him crazy. From her selfish nature to her slutty and dirty attitude.
"Hmph! You will listen to me or...do you want that punishment?" His killer intent began shrouding him, effectively making the woman stop in her tracks.
"W-what! Fine, dammit!" And with that, she stormed out of the room. Her followers following her with glee. Bob sighed in dismay, hoping his decision wouldn't cause too many problems.
"I pity the man that has to deal with Karen..."
End.
Ah well, it's not my best chapter. In fact, I think it was my worst hehe. It felt like writing the first chapter again which I had a hard time with as well. I guess this is the problem with starting new arcs.
Yeah, Karen and Ichiya will be joining the Fray later on. Oh and I managed to give you sneak preview at a new enemy. I am not trying too hard on being subtle so you guys who figured out the other will indeed figure this one out. I have also put in my first OC. She won't be having too much time on screen.
I've been fighting my Writers Block so I will have to ask you all to forgive me for the wait. The updates will be longer from here on out since I need time to think of appropriate dialogues and such.
Ah well, other than that. Down below, you will see Naruto's character corner.
