I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail. The latter is shit.


Airspace, A Few Miles Outside of Magnolia Town, Fiore.

The wind was brushing past her at an incredible rate. She could feel the soft whispers of the sky as she passed over the lands and the small figures she could guess were people or towns. Kinana had never known what it was like to fly. She had never even looked down on the vast space of Earthland from such a height before. Everything in her eyesight as she looked below was blurring away.

Normally, it would've been quite a hectic activity for anyone who had never glided through the skies before at such a beautiful and astonishing speed, much less to a person who was not even a mage.

Yet.

The person on whose back she had been using as a seat for mobility was making her feel calm.

'Strange' Kinana thought to herself as she thought about the blue eyed mage. Her hands were tied around Naruto Uzumaki's neck. Her head was just over his shoulders. She stole eventual glances towards our blonde haired protagonist who had noticed her doing this more times than one. Kinana for her part was lost in her thoughts. She had known the man for only a few hours.

Yet.

This man inspired her. He sparked something inside her. He didn't see her as weak. He didn't see her as a burden. He saw her as a comrade. Someone important.

"I said I think you're crazy if you think you're a burden. Mage or not, you're an important member of the guild."

"You're a member of the guild. A very important one too, especially during these tough times."

"I told you not to think like that anymore right?"

"…make sure nothing happens to you."

"I wasn't flirting. I merely told the truth. Protecting her is more important to me than the mission itself."

"If one of them got to you…. I would feel horrible."

In the mind of the young barmaid of Fairy Tail, these words were being played over and over again. The adopted grandson of one of the Four Gods of Ishgar had said these words to her. She had never met him prior to this day.

Yet in a matter of few hours, he had won over her trust just that easily. The fact that the man was incredibly handsome and muscled up with a physique, that she could feel quite clearly, that put most men to shame was not helping her thoughts from going over to a more intimate section either.

But it must've been his calm collected nature that drawn her towards him more than anything else. During all of his talks, he had never raised his voice. He had always kept it at a steady tone. There were no emotions inside his voice at all. Except for that time.

"If one of them got to you…. I would feel horrible."

Kinana could tell that the words that came out of the newly rejoined mage of Fairy Tail were genuine. It spoke with conviction, but also with a great amount of grief. It was almost as if the man had lost everything he ever had. There was no purpose to his existence. Another thing she noticed about him were his eyes.

They had the most striking shades of a blinding sapphire glint she had never seen, yet at times it seemed dull, lifeless and looking for something to help him.

Like that time, he had mentioned Anko when he was questioned about it. Kinana could understand that Anko was probably a woman and Naruto had some history with her.

"Something on your mind?"

The emotionless voice of Naruto Namikaze had cut through the whiplashing layers of wind and reached the ears of Kinana who 'eeped' a little when the words had come to.

"W-What?" Kinana spluttered out.

"I asked you if there was something on your mind. You seem to be vexed about something." Naruto said once more. He looked at the lush green fields he could see from miles away. They were nearing their destination. Magnolia Town was almost in reach.

"It's nothing. Naruto-kun." Kinana said, trying to lie. What was she supposed to say? That she was thinking about the words the blonde said to her. That how the blonde had uplifted her spirits? Or the fact that she was stealing glances and admiring his-

"I see." Naruto said. He didn't want to pry. In the past, he would've either forced someone to spill their guts by outsmarting them, using the Sharingan or his least favorite, but highly effective, torturing people. Warrod had taught him to 'socialize' with people. At times, Naruto hated the optimism that Warrod Sequen had. He also thought that killing was bad and even the wrong people deserve a chance for redemption.

But unlike the Third Master of Fairy Tail, who Naruto read and learned was Makarov 'The Titan' Dreyar, who personally had his own set of qualms and morals against killing Warrod Sequen understood that the world wasn't black or white as the current generation makes it out to be. This was a lesson that his own grandfather Madara Uchiha had taught him. He still remembers those words.

"You think the shinobi world has heroes? Don't live in that hogwash dream that Konoha has drilled into the minds of the people. There can never be peace as long as shinobi continue to exist in this world. People will fight each other. People will kill each other. One fights for his dreams, one fights to protect what he has and one fights to gain whatever he can. The world is and always will be grey. Kill one man to save a thousand. Kill a thousand to save a million. Kill a million to save an entire nation."

The color of the world was indeed grey. No matter how green the grass is or how clearly blue the water is, humanity had proven time and again that their actions and consequences had lead to many a decisions that nearly destroyed his world more times than one.

Warrod Sequen was a kind natured man. Warrod Sequen was a good man. But under no circumstances was Warrod Sequen a foolish man. Fairy Tail was founded more than a hundred years ago. Warrod had told him that along Mavis Vermillion, Yuri Dreyar, Precht Gaebolg and himself they had founded the former number one guild of Fiore.

During those times, Warrod and his troupe were treasure hunters. It was only circumstance and a job from their then guild, Sylph Labrynith, that had lead them to Tenrou Island which was known as Sirius Island then. They had met the future first master Mavis there. Mavis had been a….. servant at Red Lizard the only guild of Sirius Island. She was treated cruelly by everyone but her will and gentle nature allowed her to move on.

During those days, guilds were very different. A Magic Council was there, but they virtually had no power. Guild Wars were a very common thing. Death and destruction across many towns and cities was a common sight. Naruto had noted that this world had its own fair share of Warring States. Red Lizard was one of the Guilds that entered a war and were left utterly defeated by Blue Skull, who had stolen a precious artifact of that island known as the Sirius Orb. The only survivor was Mavis and an illusion she had created resembling one of her friends known as Zera.

Mavis had entered an alliance with the trio of hunters as they went back to Magnolia Town to retrieve the Orb and return it to its rightful place. One thing had lead to another and the group of four had to learn magic from an unknown, dark haired mage to fight Blue Skull to not only return the orb but also to free Magnolia Town who were being oppressed. Naruto had often asked as to who this man was but to this day Warrod does not know who the young mage was that gave them the gift of Magic.

From what Naruto had learned of his appearance and behavior, he sounded like an Uchiha.

Black hair, check. Distant from people, check. Emotionless voice, check. Lifeless eyes, check. It sounded like a perfect Uchiha Clan member who was not too arrogant. But Naruto shrugged it off. There was no way another Uchiha was on this planet other than himself. If there was….. Naruto would be giving him/her a visit.

Moving on, after learning magic the group of four had defeated the Blue Skull guild and avoided another catastrophe as Yuri had transformed into a freak of nature as the Sirius Orb's curse effect took him over. Mavis Vermillion used Law, a highly powerful and forbidden magic spell, and destroyed the Sirius Orb. This resulted in the cursed artifact being destroyed and Mavis' physical growth to be physically stunted as she would forever have the physical body of a thirteen year old girl.

Though Mavis herself had no qualms about it, she had saved her friend and was happy that she could do so. Later on, the four of them had founded the guild Fairy Tail in Magnolia Town in the year X686. It was only after the formation of Fairy Tail that several other violent Guilds were overthrown and the big names that exist today are here. The Saga of the Guild Wars had ended.

The rest after that was history, but Naruto noticed that there were some parts that Warrod didn't want to speak about.

In all honesty, Naruto knew that sooner or later with his devil's luck and Murphy's Law conductor he would find out eventually. He noticed that Kinana was shifting uncomfortably and voiced his opinion.

"Is something wrong Kinana?" Naruto said as he brought them down a bit as they neared Magnolia Town, they would have to get down eventually and Naruto felt like walking back to the Guild. There was something he needed to do.

"N-No Naruto-kun! I'm perfectly fine-kina!" Kinana said. Kinana had unknowingly let her hands travel to Naruto's chest a bit.

And it was….. perfect. The pectoral muscles on his chest were just that. She had done it by mistake and was as usual blushing up a storm. It was wrong of her to do so, but it felt so good for some reason.

'Wait….. am I a pervert?' Kinana's being shattered at the thought. Slowly she felt that she was not hovering anymore. Instead, Kinana was vertically upright and Naruto was standing on the ground just a little outside of Magnolia Town.

'We're already here?' She thought disappointingly. Naruto's entire body was surprisingly warm despite his distant and borderline cold attitude. She still did not get down.

"Are you feeling weird because of the flight?" Naruto asked. For those who didn't fly like that before were sure to suffer from a little bit of motion sickness and the occasional dizziness. He idly wondered what it would be like if he had taken a Dragon Slayer to fly?

He had read that they cannot handle transportation under any circumstances. Might be a good way to get a few smiles. Naruto had not laughed, not since his childhood and the time he had died. Naruto Uzumaki had never been happier before when his life would finally be ending.

"Yes." Kinana lied beautifully. In her mind, she wanted to stay with Naruto a bit longer. Now the stupid town had to get closer all of a sudden.

"Let's go then." Naruto said as he entered Magnolia Town and walked through with Kinana latched on to her back. Naruto for his part was confused. He knew he was good looking, several women he considered beautiful had told him that on more than one occasion. What baffled his mind was the fact that, why did they have to be attracted to him so quickly.

He even toned down his 'Uchiha Mode' so that he doesn't get more than one woman trying to spread her legs for him. But no, someone just keeps messing with him. He shuddered to think what would happen if he did go into 'Uchiha Mode' as he used to be during his life as a Leaf shinobi. He still remembers the bane of his existence.

Fan girls.

He shuddered and Kinana who was on his back felt the man shivering like something had just scared the living daylights out of him.

"Ano, is something wrong Naruto-kun?" Kinana asked as she saw a groaned expression on his face. He seemed like as if he was being traumatized. 'So he does have emotions?'

"Nothing. Just remembered something." Naruto said. His mind was officially overloaded with all the disturbing imagery and the words that they said to him.

'Look it's Naruto-kun'

'Sit with me Naruto-kun'

'Do you like them big or small Naruto-kun?'

'I'm in heat like a Inuzuka, Naruto-kun. Make me your bitch!'

'There he is! Today Naruto-kun will give us his babies.'

'Rip his pants off!'

He looked mortified by now. He praised the Log and thanked the Sage that the fan girls never got to rape him. Honestly, every time he went into the Academy, they'd just appear out of nowhere.

"What did you remember Naruto-kun?" Kinana asked after seeing the mildly horrified look on his face. "You seem…. On edge."

"Something I never hope to encounter again." Naruto said with all the seriousness he could muster. Kinana gulped at his words. She was thinking that it must've been some sort of terrifying monster or something along those lines.

If only Kinana knew that Naruto Uzumaki only feared three things in life: his mother Kushina from what he heard about her, Madara's training and fan girls.

Naruto stopped all of a sudden as they were passing by the Twilight Ogre guild. Dusk had just started to make its presence known. He could see the sun bleeding out as daylight would die for the rest of the day. "Say Kinana?"

"What is it?" Kinana asked.

"Are you still feeling a bit woozy?" Naruto asked.

"A little yes." Kinana lied once more. What was with this guy? She was practically clinging on to him and he was indirectly asking her if she could get off his back, literally. "Why are you getting frustrated at me Naruto-kun?" She used her best sad face she could make. She was a bit genuinely disappointed that she'd have to get down from the warm back of Naruto.

"No." Naruto replied immediately. "I don't know why you'd even think that Kinana."

"Sorry." Kinana said with a sheepish expression. Then another thought crossed her mind. What if the entire guild saw her being carried around by Naruto like that? They'd never stop teasing her about it. No way was she going to give them that chance. With a sigh she replied once more. "Actually I think I can walk on my own now Naruto-kun. The dizziness is going away."

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked. He remembered suffering from a lot of after effects when he ended his first flight, he was very careful when he had flew from Oshibana Town to Magnolia Town. Every turn, every shift in wind, the moisture of the air and the speed and angle he travelled at. Every little detail was accounted for in his mind. He mentally sighed at noting down all these details. Madara had turned him into… What was the word?

Nerd.

Maybe that was the word that Konohamaru Sarutobi had meant, as he claimed that Naruto would rather spend his day reading about jutsus than having time for others. Naruto himself did not mind… No, he did not care what anyone in general thought about him.

But this was a new world as he kept reminding himself. Maybe things would be different here. Maybe there was no large evil organization here that would want to spread chaos and have machinating plans of the sort that would result in him fighting them.

There was no way Murphy's Law would be so ungratefully applied to him.


In various different locations.

A man hiding in the shadows from the future sneezed.

Twelve highly powerful mages in an empire forged by a certain dark wizard had sneezed all of a sudden.

Nine demons in an obscure location sneezed.

A great mighty dragon shrouded in black sneezed as every living being near that place ran away.

A certain dark haired wizard also sneezed. Everything around him instantly died.


Meanwhile back at the plot.

"Yes." Kinana said as Naruto gently got down on one knee and Kinana felt her feet touch the ground.

She shook her feet a bit and then stood up. She momentarily dazed a bit and made some unexpected moves losing her balance a bit. She stumbled into the chest of Naruto Uzumaki who had stood up. He stood in her path to catch her if she lost balance. She felt his warm hand on his shoulder as his cerulean eyes merely pierced her vision. She blushed as she nuzzled out of his chest and squinted her eyes a bit.

"See I'm alright-kina!" She blurted out. She did not mean to say it that loud though.

"Hn." Naruto gave the signature Uchiha grunt as he smirked a bit. "You're a very bad liar. You know that?" Naruto said as stood beside her and the two walked away.

He idly looked back at Twilight Ogre's building. He was going to give them a visit. He knew for a fact that they would interfere with the Guild the moment he would be out for a long term mission. He wasn't like Menma who would probably burst in there and shoot first, questions later. No, Naruto would speak to them. He would tell them to lay off. If they didn't… Well, let's just say that he had a lot of other methods to go by.

Slowly the duo walked back towards the hill that housed the guild. Naruto was leisurely walking. He was seeing some of the happy smiles and waves that people in general were giving to the duo of mages. It was strange to him. When was the last time he was acknowledged by people on a large scale? That's right.

When Menma had defeated the Six Paths of Pain. Naruto had returned to the village after the battle was over. Menma had mastered Sage Mode to the extent that not even Jiraiya or their own father could. He was proud of Menma.

He remembers lightly smiling when people called him the Hero's Brother. He was glad. Menma was finally getting the recognition that he had desired for so long. But this also caused the hatred in Naruto to increase. No, Naruto did not hate his brother. Far from it, he was willing to give up his own life to save Menma.

What Naruto hated was the Village itself. He had previously said it out loud in front of the Sandaime himself. The same people who tried to hurt, and on some occasions kill, Menma and Naruto when they were children were praising them with showers of affection and respect.

He nearly spat at their hypocrisy. It was a few days after that he had learned that Danzo had become Hokage and left for the Five Kage Summit. Naruto had taken the chance and went back to his parents' house. The bunker beneath the house was still intact. He went on to destroy every document on jutsu his parents had. There was no way in Six Paths he would let anyone else tarnish the names of Uzumaki and Namikaze by getting their filthy hands on it.

Afterwards, Naruto had gone on to kill Homura and Koharu.

Naruto did not like torture at all. He hated it because it reminded him too much of Orochimaru. But he was willing to make an exception in this case. After finishing the ROOT Massacre. Naruto went on to torture Homura and Koharu in the former secret base of ROOT. He had tortured them for more than seven hours straight. He later made the entire base explode with high level fire style jutsu. It was then that ANBU Black Ops came in and witnessed the scene before him.

He took care of the ANBU and even left them a coded message saying he has defected from the village. He then made a rendezvous with Zetsu who told him that Obito would be making an appearance at the Five Kage Summit. Naruto was going to go there anyway. Danzo Shimura was there and there were lots of things that needed to be done with him.

"Naruto-kun!" Kinana said a bit loudly to grab his attention. Said mage turned his head towards the beautiful purple haired mage who had a bit of a pout on her face. Now that Naruto noticed it he had seen a strange thing about Earthland. Nearly every woman he had seen so far was very beautiful. They also had near perfect hourglass figures that would make Jiraiya scribble furiously into his notebook and claim it as 'research'.

"I've been calling you for some time."

"Sorry." Naruto said in his emotionless voice once more. His mind was still fixated on the women part.

Was it something in the water? Was it because of Ethernano in the air? Did this make him a pervert? No... he was just a man having a healthy interest in beautiful women.

Unlike that emo, stick up my ass Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto had once heard Jiraiya making a joke about Sasuke playing with Orochimaru's snakes.

That statement had given Naruto a nightmare.

Kinana sighed a bit and had a small smile on her face.

"You daze off quite often don't you-kina?" Kinana asked as she saw Naruto raise an eyebrow at her question.

"I don't know. I've never quite noticed it myself." Naruto replied as he looked up in the sky. The last rays of the sun were tearing through the sky making this part of the world know that the night is coming. "Though I could say the same about a habit you have as well."

"What would that be Naruto-kun?" Kinana asked curiously. 'Did I do something bad? Did I do something embarrassing?'

"Well… you keep staring into my eyes for some reason. Every time my I look to make direct contact you just look away." Naruto said as he tried to pierce her green orbs. As if on cue, pink tinged her cheeks and she moved line of vision away from his.

"See? There it is again." His next words had caused the pink on her smooth, silky cheeks to evolve into a gushing red.

He had a ghost of a smile at her behavior. It reminded him of the situation between Menma and Hinata. The girl clearly admired and had a massive crush on his younger brother. Menma was too dense to notice it. I mean anyone could figure out when a girl behaves like that.

Naruto was sure that he would be able to figure it out if a girl had a crush on him.

He was sure. No doubts about that.


Meanwhile back in the Land of the Pure.

Kushina was clapping with her hands, very slowly. She was watching through the clouds and received info that her son thought he would be smart to figure out who had a crush on him. A genuine crush of affection and admiration, not one of lust and carnal hunger.

"He's just as dense as you Minato-kun." Kushina said and sighed. It seems that Naruto was much too like his father.

"Hey!" Minato said while flailing his arms around. "I was not that dense."

"I practically had to scream it out for you. Don't you remember it?" Kushina said as he Minato looked at the cloudy ground as he poked it with a stick, which came from God knows where.

"My poor Naru-chan. Too dense to even figure out that pretty girl has a crush on him."


'I feel like someone's insulting my intelligence.' Naruto thought in his mind. He then saw that Kinana was still not making eye contact with him. She did look a bit cute with that pout on her face though. That's when Naruto nearly stopped for a moment before he thought about the strange remark he made about her in his mind.

'Cute? Why did I even think that?'

Soon enough both Naruto and Kinana were walking up the hill. A few minutes more and they would reach the Fairy Tail Guild.

"Sorry if I offended you." Naruto said with some traces of emotion.

"No it's alright Naruto-kun. I've just never seen anyone with bright blue eyes like that before." Kinana said. "Not even Mira-chan has eyes like that."

"Mira?" Naruto asked. It sounded like a girl's name. "Who is she?" Kinana looked mortified for some reason.

'Oh no…." Kinana thought in her mind. To this day Kinana thought that Erza and Mirajane were the most beautiful girls in the Guild, Lucy would undoubtedly come next. There was no doubt in the young barmaid's mind that she definitely liked Naruto Uzumaki.

Call it a silly crush if you want, but there was something definitely about him that attracted her to the blonde haired enigma. In her mind, she probably stood no chance against the rest of the beauties of Fairy Tail. There was also no doubt that Naruto would probably be interested in them. He was a man, and any man would be swooned by them.

"Kinana" Naruto's voice brought her back from reality as she saw that Naruto was standing right in front of her as he looked down at her. "Is something wrong?"

"No-no!" Kinana said as she waved her arms in response.

'Why do you have to stand so close to me?' Kinana yelled in her mind. She and Naruto were still walking and were a few minutes away from the Guild building.

One unique trait she noticed about Naruto was that he never pressed for anything. When he asked her if she could, she replied that she couldn't and he didn't press the matter further. He only asked about Mira once and then didn't ask again.

He was deviously smart there was no doubt about that, but it seemed that he also respected the personal boundaries that a person held.

And soon enough the Guild building had arrived and they opened the doors. Naruto Uzumaki. The single most powerful shinobi to appear in the history of Konoha, the man who razed Hidden Villages to the ground, destroyed entire battalions by himself, fought the Five Kage all at once while winning, faced down a primordial goddess and fought two Dansetsu level shinobi was greeted in the most Fairy Tail way possible.

A mug flew in and hit him square across the jaw. Beer stained his face and hair. He looked completely stoic. Nevermind the liquid of trace alcohol running down on his face. He merely sighed. In all honesty he was not sure if he expected anything different. He took out a handkerchief he had kept in his pockets and cleaned his face and hair. He then saw someone rushing towards him and observed. It was a woman.

She too like the majority of the females Naruto had encountered in Earthland had an hourglass figure. She was wearing a strapless black shirt, with a revealing neckline showing some of her generous cleavage along with a black skirt that came barely down to her knees. She was also wearing a dark blue mantle that is held at the front by a ring. She was also wearing glasses and had violet hair.

Instantly Naruto recognized this person. Her appearance had changed a little from before.

Her body had become more womanly and her hair was reminiscent of her previous one. This time she had let her hair grow as it was much wavier, bangs framed her face and went down her shoulder being undulated with a triangular tuft covering her forehead. The ribbon she had now marks the spot where her hair is tied in a long ponytail, reaching down to the middle of her back. Before she could say anything Naruto decided to speak up.

She was the one who brought him to the Guild in the first place.

The first….. comrade he had. Yes, he could say that word now. At least he thinks he can.

"Hello Laki." Naruto said with a smile that only the people near him could see. She seemed to be genuinely happy at seeing him. Naruto was still not used to people being happy at just seeing him. Don't blame him, blame the author who decided to fuck up his life in the first place. What sort of a cold heartless bastard would even think about making his life such a hell?

Oh wait….

"Hello Naruto-kun!" Laki said as she beamed up at looking at her friend once more. The last three and a half years have been quite a ride for the Wood Make Mage. She decided to get a bit serious with her training and is now one of the A Class Mages of Fairy Tail. What was the reason she took up this drive you ask? Simple.

A certain blonde haired, blue eyed mage that showed her he too used Wood related magic. Laki was in a bind when she started training. She knew her limits and knew that she would need a lot of time to become a stronger mage. She has been working hard for the last three years. There was something about Naruto Uzumaki that had drawn her like moths to a flame. She would often think about him.

She had only known him for a few hours but he had done something that no one else in her life had previously done. Sure there were a lot of good looking guys in Fairy Tail and outside the guild.

However, just as Cana had said 'the men here have no class' or something along those lines. The ones outside Fairy Tail were mostly womanizers or looked at her like a piece of meat. But Naruto was…. Naruto. He carried her all the way instead of letting her walk, not once did he even take advantage. This either meant that Naruto was the perfect man every woman envisioned. Or, he played for the other team.

Laki had returned from a mission a few hours ago and much to her surprise and joy she learned that Naruto had returned. He took more than three years but he returned nonetheless. She felt so ecstatic that he was back. Everybody in the Guild knew that Naruto would become a S Class Mage after his training trip, given that he cleared an A Class Mission in less than two hours and came back.

Imagine her surprise when she learned that Naruto was the adopted grandson of one of the Four Gods of Ishgar.

At first she assumed that Naruto was taught by Warrod Sequen himself, but somewhere in her mind she just had a feeling that Naruto was self taught or by his parents. Laki later realized that she like the blonde haired enigma on some level, a level that was far beyond friendship. And now he stood right in front of her, and by the Gods of Ishgar he looked better than ever.

"How have you been?" Naruto asked in a normal stoic voice. Normally, he would walk away but Laki was different to him. She was the one who brought him to this…. Unique guild in the first place.

"I'm doing great. Enough about me how've you been? Gotten stronger? Reached that level you wanted to?" Laki asked excitedly.

"I suppose. You let your hair grow." Naruto said as his eyes observed said threads of violet tresses flowing down.

"Ummm yeah." Laki replied. She was a bit worried about his statement. "Is there something wrong with it?"

"No." Naruto said. He then looked towards the bar and saw Macao giggling with Wakaba. "Actually, it looks good on you."

Naruto wasn't looking otherwise he would've seen a blush embracing Laki's face. Kinana was pouting and absentmindedly fondling her own hair. It seemed that Naruto must've had a thing for long hair.

"A-a-arigato Naruto-kun!" Laki blurted out. Dammit! Why was she reacting like this? Many other people had told her that she looked better ever since she let her hair grow.

'Calm down Laki! It's just Naruto giving you a compliment. Naruto and his deep cerulean eyes… Spiky yet tamed blonde hair…. And that body… BAD LAKI!' She berated herself for having perverse thoughts. You couldn't blame her.

To her Naruto looked great before, no with the growing hair coming down his forehead and splitting at the nose, gave him a look that put male models to shame. Not to mention, the way his body had grown even though nearly every inch was covered by clothing. She could almost see the outlines of the lean, toned muscles on his body. Then she noticed the person standing beside Naruto.

It was Kinana. Before she could greet her friend, Naruto spoke.

"Both of you will have to excuse me." Naruto said as he took out a poster. "I need to go and speak with the Master. I'll see you around." Naruto said and walked away. Call it instinct but something inside him was screaming to get away from that place. He didn't know why but he had to.

"Kinana-chan!" Laki said as she hugged the barmaid. After the Tenrou incident these two had become really close friends. So when she learned that Kinana had gone to a mission with Naruto she was a bit relieved.

"Laki-chan." Kinana said as she returned the hug. "How was your mission?"

"Eh it was fine." Laki replied. "I would've arrived sooner but there were some repairs being made to the rail lines. I was delayed by two whole hours." Laki said releasing a sigh of frustration.

"That happened to us too. When we were going to Oshibana Town the train was delayed by an hour." Kinana said. "Naruto-kun even fell asleep during the ride." Twas then that Laki noticed the affectionate suffix of 'kun' being added to Naruto's name. Laki narrowed her eyes a bit at the situation. For some reason, Kinana seemed more happier than usual. Was she missing something?

"Say Kinana-chan" Laki said as both of them headed on over to the table. Naruto had gone with Macao as well to his office, no doubt to speak about the job report. "Why did you go on a job all of a sudden?"

"Oh Naruto-kun didn't know Oshibana Town well so he asked me go with him." Kinana said with a cheerful smile. "When we arrived there it seemed that the missions ranking had gone up a bit."

"Eh? What do you mean?" Jet asked who along with Wakaba, Bisca, Alzack, Asuka, Nab, Droy, Reedus and Vijeteer were hanging around them.

"Well. The original mission was to take out a monster, which turned out to be a Lizardman." Kinana said as some of the listeners eyes widened. Lizardmen were crafty monsters with Copy Magic abilities. They themselves had run into them in the past and caused quite a trouble.

"Woah!" Asuka said with a giggle as she waved her arms in the air. Her young mind was far too innocent to understand the severity of the situation. "Cool!"

"Asuka-chan. Calm down." Bisca said as she tried to calm her daughter down. Honestly, she had too much energy for her own good.

"What happened next?" Nab asked. They were worried by the situation but also excited seeing as both of them were relatively uninjured.

"Well. After we got to Oshibana Town, we went to meet with the Mayor who told us that the Lizardman was actually being controlled by a group of Dark Mages. Former members of Eisenwald led by Erigor the Reaper." Kinana said as some of the members gasped.

"Erigor?! As in the same Erigor that Natsu and the others fought?" Vijeteer asked with a worried expression on his face.

"The very same. That's why the Mayor had asked help from another guild. Blue Pegasus answered and sent two of their own mages." Kinana replied.

"Who did Blue Pegasus send?" Alzack asked. They all had heard about certain… quirks about that Guild.

"It was Hibiki Lates and Jenny Realight." Kinana frowned a little as she mention Jenny's name. She remembered the kiss she put on Naruto's cheek.

"JENNY-CHAN!" Wakaba, Jet, Reedus, Nab and Vijeteer cried out in joy.

"Perverts." Laki said with a deadpan expression. "Well what happened next Kinana-chan?" She had not missed the frown that came on Kinana's face when Jenny's name was mentioned.

Did something happen between them? After all, nearly everyone in Fiore heard of Jenny Realight, there were no doubts that Jenny would undoubtedly be the future Ms. Fiore.

"Right. Sorry-kina." Kinana said as she bit her tongue a bit. "Afterwards the four of us made it to the forest outside Oshibana Town and went to the old Eisenwald Guild building. We entered and found at least 35 of them. That's without Erigor and the Lizardman he was controlling."

"Shit." Wakaba said as he released puffs of smoke into the air. He was then bonked on the head by Alzack. "What was that for Alzack?!"

"I told you before! Don't smoke when Asuka-chan is around!" Alzack said as Asuka giggled at her father's actions. Bisca merely sighed.

"Fine!" Wakaba said as he put out the smoke.

"Can we just finish the story for once? I want to paint it later on." Reedus said. He even had his brush in hand.

"Mou. Nobody lets me finish my story." Kinana said with a pout. Laki just patted her shoulders. "Ok. Naruto-kun told us to stay put and said he'd take care of them."

"Wait…. You mean to tell me that Naruto took on the whole Guild by himself? He fought against them all and won without getting a scratch?!" It was Jet who asked the question that bothered everyone's mind. Even Erza was a bit strained out after fighting a lot of them.

"No. It wasn't a fight. I…" Kinana stopped for a moment as everyone prepared themselves. "None of us could even see him move at times. He dived into the crowd of mages, and beat them with his bare hands. He then used Requip Magic to summon a lance. It was a red lance that looked like it could kill all of them but even then Naruto-kun was holding back every the whole time."

The Fairy Tail mages were a bit flabbergasted at Kinana's words. If the words she said were true then Naruto was definitely S Class. But to hold back against a Dark Guild that wanted to destroy the Guild Masters Association.

"Then the Lizardman was summoned after all the mages were beaten. At first, the Lizardman was able to copy some of his moves and Erigor joined in on the attack as well. But then Naruto-kun told us all to leave the building. It for good reason too. By the time we came outside, an entire side of the Guild building was collapsed as the Lizardman was thrown out of the building. The red lance was stuck in his chest as it dragged him out and then the entire body was split in half-kina." Kinana said as she remembered the details of their missions.

Naruto did not even seemed tired after that.

"That must've been one hell of an attack to cut a Lizardman in half. And he did with a lance?" Wakaba asked as his serious mage mood kicked in. Lances usually don't cut their opponents in half. It was used for stabs, piercings and violent thrusts.

"Yup. And then Naruto-kun disappeared for a moment and hit Erigor with a spinning blue ball of Ethernano. At least I think it was Ethernano." Kinana said.

"WAIT!" Laki said. "Naruto-kun was…. Using raw Ethernano?" Laki asked as she thought of the idea. To control raw ethernano was nearly unheard of. Mainly because it was impossible. Mages could channel magic because of their Magic Containers in their bodies. The Origin in the air was pulled in to make a toned down version of Ethernano that was later used by mages.

"Hai Laki-chan." Kinana said. "It was powerful too. The ball of Ethernano was spinning and left a big mark on Erigor's chest."

"Sugoi." The entire guild said in unison. They were in awe at the things they heard about him.

"After that we went to Mayor who increased the pay and all of us left on our own ways." Kinana said. "But Naruto-kun didn't want to take the train. So he flew us here."

"Wait… did you say fly?" Nab asked. Kinana nodded. "He can fly?!" Kinana nodded happily once more.

"Then how did you fly with him?" Bisca asked.

"Oh..umm." Kinana blushed a bit as she remembered clutching on to Naruto Uzumaki during their journey through the sky. "I was on his back the whole time." Laki was frowning a bit. She did not like the look on Kinana's face at all. I mean sure she was her friend, but there was no way in hell was she going to let Kinana dig her claws into her man…..

'Wait…. My man?! What the hell am I thinking?!' Laki realized the meaning of her internal thoughts.


Guild Master's Office.

"That's a lot to take in." Macao said as he poured two drinks. Naruto was sitting in front of him. "So….. how strong are you really Naruto?"

"I could say that I am S Class. It's not a boast. It's a mere fact. But I don't have any official ranking yet." Naruto said as he took the drink. It was scotch. He drank it quietly. Alcohol didn't affect him that much. He would always coat his organs with chakra. A great lesson taught to him by Asuma Sarutobi, who along with his entire generation of Sarutobi were chain smokers.

Naruto himself smoked at times. It was a habit he picked up after the Chunnin Exams. He then sighed as he finished the drink. Now came the part he was not a bit hesitant about. He unsealed a letter he was keeping in his wrist and gave it to Macao. The Fourth Guild Master of Fairy Tail took the letter in his hands. It had the coat of arms of the Royal Kingdom of Fiore, the Seal of the Magic Council and the Symbol of the Ten Wizard Saints, only their symbol was rendered in green instead of the normal blue.

"What is this?" Macao asked. He felt some sort of ominous pressure coming from that letter.

"A letter. Approved by the Royal Kingdom, the Magic Council and from the Old Man. It's an identification paper along with a skill set of my current abilities. The Old Man thought it would be better if I give you a whole formal presentation for all of this."

"Geez, listening to that makes me feel old." Macao said as he downed the contents of his drink.

Macao carefully opened the letter and started to read the contents of the letter. He unfolded the parchment of paper that was inside and saw that it consisted of Naruto's picture at the top.

"That's quite a resume you have there. Waas Forest huh?" Macao said. "It was quite a nasty place. How did you guys live there?"

"In wooden house my parents made." Naruto lied. He was no fool. There was no way, Fairy Tail would accept him if he revealed his real nature of jobs he took last year.

Naruto Uzumaki had taken a part in the Seven Countries War last year. True, the war did not include Fiore directly but the rate at which it was going, it would surely involve other countries as well. A group from Bosco had tried to kidnap Princess Hisui E. Fiore from the capital Crocus. It was only sheer dumb luck that Naruto happened to be there with Warrod Sequen that he was able to save the princess.

Princess Fiore however did not get to see the face of her savior as he was wearing a white mask that covered the entreity of his face.

Later on, a secret meeting held between the King of Fiore, the Magic Council and the Four Gods of Ishgar had taken place in which the top four Wizard Saints would take part in the war to end it from all sides. Naruto had requested to take part in the war and only seven people knew about the real identity of the man known as Alucard who fought alongside there.

Naruto had taken part and ripped through hordes of battalions as he fought alongside the Four Gods of Ishgar and had made a secret mission to the Kingdom of Eden after finding out that Eden was the main bank roller of the war to unite the nations against Fiore eventually. Surprisingly the Kingdom of Eden had disappeared after a large blast took place. Naruto explained that they had a weapon similar to Etherion that self destructed and Naruto was barely able to escape. He later proved crucial in the Battle River that ended the war.

After that, Naruto had been given a secret designation, with the approval of the King of course. Naruto Uzumaki was the first Anti-Dark Mage. A Black Ops type of mage that did not exist on pen and paper and his sole job was to cut down the number of Dark Guilds, which had grown more violent and bold these days.

He went by the name of Alucard once more and only seven people knew the true identity of the man getting popular as the Dark Mage Killer.

The Four Gods of Ishgar, The King of Fiore, Magic Council Members Gran Doma and Org.

His secret was classified as SS Class, as there would be public outrage for such an act. But desperate times call for desperate measures. In this case, an Anti-Dark Mage who proved his efficiency. He was of course paid for his works. And around a month ago he had stopped, as he felt like someone was spying on him. Not on Alucard but rather Naruto Uzumaki himself.

He was a very cautious person and didn't want people prying on his secrets.

Still, he would be lying if he didn't want the enemies to show themselves and try their luck.

"Now there is something I need to know Naruto. And don't get offended by this question." Macao said. In all honesty he should've asked this question three years ago. It was a core factor if one wanted to join Fairy Tail. Normally, it was not asked but Macao felt like he should ask this considering Naruto's stoic demeanor.

"What is it?" Naruto asked his face completely blank.

"Have you killed before that Naruto?" Macao asked. This was risky situation he was in. He had been in the Guild for a long time and one of the many things he had learned from Makarov Dreyar was his zero tolerance policy on killing. Killing was truly a heinous act. Only heartless people could take away a person's life and then live on like nothing happened.

"Once." Naruto said. "The man who killed my parents. Obito."

'Let's see if you were right Old Man. Let's see what you said about Fairy Tail considering each of its members as family.' Naruto thought pretty sure that he would be immediately banished. He was a realist, optimism was not the way he had come so far in life.

"I see." Macao said obviously shocked, but also considerate since he couldn't begin to imagine what it felt like to have your parents killed. "I don't know what to say."

"I understand. I'll be leaving then." Naruto said as he got up. "Sorry for bothering you and taking up your time. Good-" Naruto was cut off the voice of the Fourth Master of Fairy Tail.

"Wait just a minute." Macao said. Naruto sat down once more. "Did you enjoy killing this Obito person? I need to know the answer."

"I don't know. I simply felt hollow at that moment. I knew my parents wouldn't come back. Still, it did not stop me from killing him and he tried to kill me back then. But in short no, I did not enjoy killing Obito." Naruto said with a tone laced with hatred.

"Killing is wrong. Acts like those set down a darker path" Macao said having seen a couple of former legal mages go down that wrong path.

"So is raping and slavery. Yet the ones who commit those acts get away." Naruto said. "Make no mistake Master. I truly like Fairy Tail and in ways it reminds of a time I was peaceful. But, just like when I felt peace I will not let anyone touch a hair on the heads of the Guild members."

"But still….." Macao said. Somehow, his belief in not killing seemed pale compared to the determination and confidence that Naruto's eyes held. In a way, Naruto was justified in a twisted sense for taking revenge for his parents' deaths. But the fact he killed, and looked like he was willing to kill was not right by any means. "Please don't kill anyone while you're at the Guild."

"You're actually keeping me at the Guild?" Naruto asked with some surprise.

"Well yeah. I mean you were adopted by Warrod Sequen. That man wouldn't have adopted you if you were a bad person. And I personally think you are a good person. A little misguided and ... you did kill someone before. But it was for a different reason. I'm pretty sure that a lot of other people, myself included, would've probably done the same thing." Macao said with a small, yet sad smile. Boy he was going to have so much trouble explaining this to Makarov when he got back.

Naruto was once more surprised at the sheer dedication the Master was showing to him.

"I see. Thank you." Naruto bowed his head a little. He then wanted to ask Macao something. "Master. I wish to make Kinana a mage."

"A mage?" Macao asked confusedly.

"Not a permanent one. After all, without necessary time and experience no one can become a mage all of a sudden." Naruto said.

"That's true. But there's something you should know about her." Macao said as he began to explain Kinana's past to Naruto.


Kinana and Laki were sitting at a table. Both of them were close friends but now, they find themselves in a conflict.

The reason for their conflict, one Naruto Uzumaki.

Laki had learned that Naruto had gotten a kiss from Jenny Realight which made her fume. But the real nag came when she learned that Naruto would be teaching her magic. Teaching Kinana magic! It was a good thing that someone would be teaching Kinana to be a mage but why did it have to be Naruto?

It made no sense. Laki had honestly thought that she would get to spend some time with Naruto, but it seemed that her friend Kinana also had an interest in Naruto. Kinana herself was also at a bind. She knew that Laki had some sort of feelings towards the blonde enigma she had spent the entire day with.

But Kinana herself felt a magnetic pull towards Naruto. It wasn't just because of his looks either.

"Laki-chan." Kinana said with a normal face. "Are you angry?"

"I'm not angry." Laki said with a sigh. "It's just ….. he's the first guy I ever liked like that."

"Me too!" Kinana said with a smile. "Naruto-kun doesn't talk a lot but when he does, he says some nice things."

"Yeah. I mean he didn't have to carry me all the way to the Guild even though he didn't have to." Laki said as she released a dreamy sigh remembering that day. "Then he made that Sakura tree and made it bloom for me. The two of us were just standing there as the petals flew around."

"That sounds so romantic Laki-chan." Kinana said. She then had a smirk on her face. "But the one Naruto-kun will end up with is me."

"Like hell he will!" Laki said staking her claim. "Kinana-chan you're my friend and that won't change but make no mistake. I'll be the one who Naruto-kun ends up with." Both girls then had sparks flashing between their eyes. They then noticed that Naruto and Macao had come out of the office. Macao then had an announcement to make.

"Oi listen up!" Macao said. "In honor of Naruto joining as a full time member of Fairy Tail, we are going to…. PARTY!"

A great roar or cheers erupted in the Guild building. Soon enough chaos, music and chairs were flying around in the entire guild. Naruto was sitting at the bar, with Kinana giving him some food while Laki sat beside him. For some reason the scene between the two women seemed familiar.

He swore he could've seen it before. He was given a bowl of ramen. Nostalgia hit him with full force and he was about to eat one of his more likeable dishes. But then the leg of a chair fell down on his plate, the ramen fell on to the ground.

Naruto stood up as his hair now shadowed his eyes. He cracked his knuckles as the temperature dropped.

"I'm going to make you pay in blood for what you did to the ramen." Naruto said with the most coldest voice he had.

Soon enough, all the mages that had participated in the brawl minus Laki, Kinana, Macao and Wakaba were lying everywhere. Naruto was sitting on top of a pile of human bodies. All of them were alive, albeit comically bruised in every part of their bodies. It seemed that Naruto Namikaze himself had his own set of quirks.

From that day a new rule in Fairy Tail was set forth alongside the 'Never Disturb Erza during the Strawberry Cake Time', 'Never, Ever Mess with Naruto's Ramen.'


East Forest, Magnolia Town, Fiore.

A few hours had passed and Naruto was now a few miles away from Poryluscia's house. Poryluscia was a former mage of Fairy Tail and their residential healer. Apparently she did not like 'humans' for some reason. Naruto decided not to anger the woman and told himself to visit her only when needed, but why would he need to meet a healer?

He had a ridiculous healing factor because of his chakra, he knew some Iryou Ninjutsu and let's not forget the fact that he had Avalon sealed inside his body.

After the brawl ended, he informed Macao that he would be building his own house with his Wood Magic, as Macao knew it. He learned about the East Forest and concluded that it was perfect, it was close to the Guild and was naturally rich.

He said goodbye to all of them and told Laki he'd meet her later and he'd teach Kinana as well. For some reason, he swore he could've seen sparks between their eyes.

Standing in the clearing Naruto made a few handseals.

"Doton: Yosumi no Kabe/ Earth Style: Four Corner Walls." Naruto said and put his hands on the ground as fifteen foot walls made of a strong earth rose up and surrounded him. All the walls were away from him. He then formed a Rasengan in his hand and slammed the rotating ball of chakra into the ground a few distance away from him. A moderately sized crater was formed. He then went through a few hand seals.

"Suiton: Uo Tsuba/ Water Style: Fish Spit" Naruto said as sprayed water from his mouth to fill up the crater with his chakra laced water. The crater was filled up and Naruto went through a few hand seals once more. He put his hands on the ground.

"Mokuton: Shichuuka no Jutsu/ Wood Style: Four Pillar House" wooden roots thrust themselves out of the ground and thrashed about until a two story house was finally standing. Before he went inside the wooden construct he headed towards one of the walls and made Kaze no Yaiba/ Blade of Wind and made a seven foot tall rectangular hole appear in the wall. He then made some more hand seals.

"Mokuton: Moku no Kosei Soru/ Wood Style: Construct of Wood" Naruto muttered as miniature wooden pillars came forth from his arm and went to the hole to form a wooden door. He closed the door and threw four kunai which had seals placed on them to each corner of the earth walls.

An invisible barrier rose from the kunai and surrounded the house. Naruto then went inside the house and unsealed a futon from his scroll. He laid it down and went to sleep.

No training.

No looming threat.

Just the normal life of a mage. Naruto went to sleep with his lips twitching upwards. He would have a relatively easy life now.


The Magnolia Hotel, Magnolia Town.

"Will you require something else Ma'am?" The receptionist asked.

"No that will be all." The woman replied with a stoic voice. The voice belonged to a young woman who seemed to be around twenty years old. She had green hair in a bob with bangs cut above her eyes, along with two cross shaped objects attached to the sides of her head like horns. She also had gold cross shaped earrings. She was wearing a large mantle like cloak that covered her entire body, yet it seemed to hug her curves perfectly as men stared and ogled at her body, most noticeably her large and impressive bust.

"Troublesome men and their habits." She waved her hands a bit and small magic circles appeared around her fingers. She got into the elevator as comical screams of men came as the doors of the elevator closed. She laughed a bit.

"Why did August even send me here to check on that guild?" She sighed in annoyance. She just hoped that something interesting would happen during her visit to Fiore.
