Okay! Here we are at the 14th chapter of the story. I was so pleased to have the story hit 100,000+ words with the previous chapter and the goal will only get further. Thanks again for liking the chapters so far and for being so cool with your comments. Now let's get on with the show!

Morning struck the household and Naruto stepped downstairs after taking a shower. His skills in the White Dragon Slayer Magic were getting better by the day and it wasn't going to be long until he would be able to master the ability in the mindscape. Naruto was sad that his sensei would have to leave soon but that was what was talked about from the start and he had to accept that.

His Hurricane Magic was on the same level as before as he didn't even bother training with it. He wanted to have his first magic style mastered first before he could even begin to focus on his second one. There was so much to do with in that magic style because of the fact that it is highly destructive in power, takes a lot of precise control to master because of the fact that he didn't know how to control the power of the magic the first time. He would need a lot of practice and that only happen once his training under Timaeus could get complete.

In the living room, he noticed everyone at the dining room eating breakfast.

"Good morning!" The three kunoichi chirped cheerfully in unison while Jiraiya gave him a smile.

Naruto looked at them with a smile, "Good morning everyone." He said warmly.

The blonde's attention turned towards the three kunoichi in the room and a bright smile escaped his features at what Master Makarov had told him the day before.

"However… if you were to establish a clan status here in Fairy Tail, you can take on multiple wives. Let me further explain. Establishing a clan in a Guild has a requirement that you have to be an official S-class mage, which you already are. The reason of a clan to get built is that it solidifies your rank in the Guild, thus proving your loyalty that you will not defect the Guild under any circumstance. You will also have to have to get an approval of the entire magic council as a whole as well, which makes it the trickiest part of the whole scenario. Next to the King in power, lies the magic council. If you were to raise a point that you want to establish a clan in the Guild, for whatever reason you can think of, then the council will have to take a vote. They are already respecting you so if you could make them understand why you want the status of the clan, they might agree and have it forwarded to the Kingdom of Fiore to finalize. After that, you can take on multiple wives as the clan leader is allowed to do so, although if you do not wish to take on multiple wives, you do not have to. Gildarts Clive was the only one offered this position in the past but he refused to 'deal with anything that held leadership positions or something that added responsibility' to him, even though he was a womanizer and the magic council figured that it would be a good way to reel him in to establishing clan status in the Fairy Tail Guild. I don't know what you're thinking Naruto-san but if you really want to do this, then give it your best shot."

Of course he wanted to. That was the whole reason for him asking such an awkward thing in the presence of the Master himself. He had the information required on how to move on into his relationships but he had to think of a reason he could give, in order to establish the clan status. Thinking further about it, Naruto couldn't find any reasoning but he wouldn't give up trying to do so. Until he voiced the reasoning to the council and they accepted it, he couldn't be with any one of them so he had a lot of work to do. The only question was, would the girls accept having to share him?

Naruto snapped back to reality when he saw the others looking at him with concern. "I was just thinking about something, don't worry about it." He told them and they settled down as they accepted the reasoning.

"Well gaki I need to get going. I have an early meeting with my friend that I have to attend to, so I will see you all later." Jiraiya said to his former apprentice before waving everyone off and heading out the door to see Shiho at his office. There was much to discuss about the spy network he wanted to set up.

Naruto and the others waved back at the retreating toad sage and smiled. Naruto served himself some breakfast and happily indulged in the delicious meal. After Naruto cleaned the dishes, the three kunoichi and the blonde sat down in the lounge.

Haku turned her attention towards Naruto, "So Naruto-kun what happened yesterday that had you in such a bad mood?" She asked as she was rather curious and the others nodded in agreement with the ice user as they didn't know what to make of it either.

"Oh it was just that when Elfman and I were on that mission, I was getting rather annoyed by his antics. It was like watching Gai and Lee train, shouting about their 'youth' and whatnot." Naruto answered her before looking at the other two girls, not mentioning the part about the waitress that made him furious the night before.

Haku, Mikoto and Kushina laughed hysterically and nodded as they understood what the blonde was talking about. All of them having seen Naruto's past life, saw how the two green wearing duo were like and it was amusing to say the least.

Naruto chuckled in return and then Kushina turned on the television to see what was going on in. The images on the box distorted before they set into a singular image of a news reporter.

"…The White Flash has struck again. Yes you heard it! The White Flash was spotted yesterday in a hotel inside Mahogany Town where he saved a woman being held hostage and apprehended the criminals behind it. The people in the hotel have spread more rumors around the entire town about their blonde savior and now, everyone is wondering the same thing. Where will he flash to next? Stay tuned for more right after this short break."

"I didn't know that this happened during your mission, Naruto-kun!" Mikoto exclaimed while looking at the blonde.

Naruto looked back at her, "Yeah that was the only upside to that mission actually." He answered with a smile making the others smile in return.

Mikoto, Kushina and Haku were watching the news with a delighted look. They now knew that Naruto would get more famous as time passed and they were really happy about that. He was finally getting acknowledged as the hero he truly was and the girls couldn't be more proud of the blonde.

'Good for you Naruto-kun!' They blissfully thought to themselves.

Naruto however knew that this was getting really out of control as it has only been two days since he was given the moniker and everyone was onto him. Of course he was happy to get recognized for his accomplishments as a mage of the Guild but it would be better if there wasn't the obvious downside.

"Oh great, now I'll have fan girls." He muttered out loud before sighing sadly.

This was heard by the three kunoichi who were now seething with rage. They growled in unison, "Those damn hussies!" while leaking killing intent at the thought of those damn girls chasing after Naruto, while the blonde himself was chuckling amusingly at their reaction of the possibility.

Naruto turned to them, "Hey girls, let's go to the bar to meet up with Mirajane-san. It would be nice to relax for a day from the missions I've took these past two days." He said to which the girls nodded happily in agreement to his words.

Haku turned off the television and then walked back towards the hallway where the main door was and headed outside with the others. They travelled through town where everyone started whispering things while looking at Naruto intently and everyone in the group realized it. Naruto sighed as this was going to become, like Shikamaru Nara, of the people of Konoha that cared for him would say, 'troublesome' and simply walked forward. The girls walked behind him with a cold expression while they eyed the females that were looking at the blonde with lust and seethed at the sight. 'Troublesome' indeed.

Their walk led them to the bar. Upon entering the nice establishment, everyone noticed Mirajane, Lisanna and Lucy sitting down talking to each other.

"Hey Mira-chan!" Mikoto said happily as she looked at the silverette with a smile.

The girls sitting down in the booth turned to see the newcomers and smiled brightly in return. "Hello everyone!" Mirajane chirped to which the two others with her followed suit before noticing that Naruto was also there and that caused their smile to deepen.

The three kunoichi and the blonde grinned in response before sitting down in the booth. The girls were talking to each other while Naruto chipped in wherever he felt the need to do so and just listened on.

"So Naruto-san I've noticed that a lot of people know who you are now as you're getting rather popular from your moniker The White Flash that's been on the news lately." Lucy said while looking at Naruto with a smile.

Mirajane and Lisanna also smiled while nodding as they had heard the news as well and the rumors were spreading at a rapid pace.

Naruto turned his attention towards the blonde girl, "Yes I've heard all about it. I enjoy the people looking at me with respect but I don't want to be worshipped like that. I'd rather just people acknowledge my efforts without treating me like a deity or something." He said before getting annoyed by the thought of people setting up fan clubs under his name which he knew was going to happen.

The girls looked at him with a bright smile.

The three kunoichi knew about Naruto's nature so they weren't all that surprised by the answer. However that didn't mean that they didn't respect him with how he thought about these matters.

Mirajane, Lisanna and Lucy were hearing this in awe. The mages knew that if there was any other person, they would have jumped for the chance to become famous like that so quickly but Naruto was a totally different story. He wanted to remain humble even throughout his quick pacing accomplishments.

"So Naruto-san what happened yesterday on the mission with Elfman-nii that had you all depressed?" Lisanna questioned the blonde as she was still curious about what happened.

Mirajane nodded as well seeing as she was rather confused by that as well while Lucy was simply confused as she didn't know what Lisanna was talking about. The three kunoichi giggled which added to the other girls' confusion.

Naruto looked at them blankly, "I had to hear how much of a 'man' I was, the whole time. That's what." He answered before sighing sadly once again at the recollection of the mission he took with Elfman, once again not mentioning the part that had him infuriated the night before.

Mirajane, Lucy and Lisanna blinked a few times before they held their ribs laughing hysterically, the three kunoichi followed as hearing it once wasn't enough while Naruto sighed further at the girls' antics.

After regaining their composure, Mirajane got up and brought them all refreshments much to their gratitude. They leaned into their seats and began conversing with each other.

(With Jiraiya)

"I completely agree with the reasoning for the spy network Jiraiya-san and I am more than happy to provide you with the necessary financial funding required to set it up. These evil organizations known as Dark Guilds sound more dangerous than just what their names imply so I am on board with your plan. I even have some connections in neighboring towns because of my business so I can help out further." Shiho said with a smile while looking at his friend Jiraiya.

The owner of Sorcerer's Weekly had just heard why the toad sage was so adamant about setting up his spy network and his methods were truly magnificent. With this spy network in operation, the Fairy Tail Guild could grow even stronger and that meant that Shiho's business would bloom further. This was a win-win situation for the both of them so he had no reason of not agreeing.

Jiraiya could do nothing but smile at his friend. He turned to him, "Thank you so much for agreeing to the set-up Shiho-san. Now with this in full operation, we can get the information about the Dark Guilds that have been slowly making their way into darkness as I've heard and we can stop them!" He exclaimed with his smile never leaving his features.

The toad sage was happy that he had met Shiho when he did. The man was full of heart, even when others didn't really see it that way. Jiraiya knew that the businessman had to act his part so he didn't have much friends in his line of work but the toad sage had slowly brought him out of that.

Shiho nodded with a pleased look. "No problems at all Jiraiya-san! On a separate note, I've had been receiving calls these past two days about The White Flash and it's getting me annoyed. The people want me to set up an interview with the man but my crew and I have no idea where to look. He doesn't really seem to be around the Guild much so it is that much harder trying to get a hold of him." He told his friend before sighing sadly at the failed attempts to get the rumored man for his magazine.

Jiraiya perked up at the name. 'White Flash?' He thought to himself before realizing who his friend was talking about. It was his former apprentice Naruto and that made him chuckle inwardly.

He looked at Shiho with amusement, "I know who the person you're looking for is and honestly, I could possibly bring him here for an interview as well." He said before smirking at the look of belief on his friend's face when he told him this information.

"R-Really Jiraiya-san? You could actually do that!?" Shiho asked with excitement building in his voice seeing as his company could get a major boost of publishing an article with the man.

Jiraiya nodded with a smile before his facial expressions got serious. "I could do that. However I want to state some terms for this little deal. Firstly, I want to have a photo-shoot with the hottest models you have, in the most revealing clothing possible. Second, I want for each of those mentioned models to give me a massage in the same revealing clothing and for it to be video filmed. Lastly, I want for them to partake in a little fashion show so I could do more of my research." The toad sage explained in a serious tone while in his head, a chibi version of himself was giggling so perversely that the chibi got his head bashed in by an invisible force which could only be described as female ghosts losing themselves to rage.

"Done! Just get me the man my company is looking for and you'll get everything you want! Plus, we need to have your research on full force if we want to publish the next Icha Icha book." Shiho exclaimed happily before thinking more about the requests his friend made and a nosebleed formed as a result.

Jiraiya instantly hugged Shiho crying tears of joy, much to Shiho's confusion. He wiped them off after separating from the hug and then patted his 'Research Notebook' in a loving manner seeing as his baby would get well fed from all the research.

'My baby is going to get all grown up. I'm so happy!' He thought to himself before crying again.

Shiho now understood what the toad sage was thinking about and he let out a perverted giggle making Jiraiya turn around with more tears rolling down his cheek.

"You're well on your way on learning the ways of the master, Shiho-san. I'm so proud of you!" He exclaimed before hugging the man once again however this time, Shiho smiled brightly and let out a few tears of his own at the comment.

"T-Thank you Jiraiya-san." He said to him with his smile still intact.

Jiraiya looked at him with a grin, "From now on, you're my apprentice Shiho-kun." He replied back with a soft voice making the man gasp in surprise.

"H-Hai Jaraiya-sensei!" Shiho tearfully answered back.

Now the toad sage had another apprentice, only this one would learn the true legendary art of the SUPER pervert however, neither one of them were aware of the growls heard from up above.

(Back at the bar)

The group was happily talking to each other as they had been discussing a lot of things.

Mikoto and Kushina looked at each other before nodding, "Hey Mira-chan! Kushina-chan and I want to take an A-class job seeing as we aren't official S-class mages yet. Should we get the mission statement from the bulletin board outside?" Mikoto questioned Mirajane while Kushina was nodding eagerly as the both of them really wanted to complete some missions.

"Yep! Just grab the mission statement and I will sign you both off." Mirajane chirped happily and it didn't even take the two kunoichi a second before they were out the door.

Everyone chuckled at the excitement the two girls had upon hearing that from Mirajane. It didn't even take them 5 minutes before the both of them returned into the bar and placed a piece of paper on the table in front of Mirajane.

"You two want to take on your first job?" Naruto asked before looking at the blackette and redhead with a smile to see how eager the both of them were for taking a mission.

Kushina nodded happily, "Yes I really want to see how much better I'm getting and Mikoto-chan feels the same way. This way we can improve on our teamwork seeing as we will be working on it on a more practical manner. This also can help out with our magic abilities too." She answered with a bright smile which Mikoto shared as she was getting really interested about heading out too.

Naruto smiled in return and Haku did the same thing. Both of them were happy for the two women as they could possibly regain their titles they held in the Elemental Nations within Earthland.

Mirajane looked at the paper with interest before reading it out loud.

Mission Statement

Rank: A-class.

Location: Aumsville Town.

Most Convenient Method of Travel: Train from Magnolia Town Station towards Acela Town. From there, proceed by walk towards Aumsville Town as there are no stations in Aumsville Town.

Details: A group of thugs have been holding some of the townspeople hostage. Upon arriving to Aumsville, please head towards the Giovani Center and ask for 'Lilith'.

Reward: 425,000 Jewels.

"It doesn't seem that tough of a mission. Measly thugs won't really pose much threat to either of you so it's an easy enough job." Mirajane said before signing the paper and handing it back to the two kunoichi.

Mikoto and Kushina grinned as they took the paper with thanks and stepped back slightly. Naruto handed them over a wad of bills to cover the train ticket costs as well as extra cash for them to eat or rest along the way if the journey took longer than they originally thought. The two kunoichi thanked him wholeheartedly and got more excited by the second to take on their first mission.

The both of them stood in front of the others in the room, "We'll see you all when we get back!" They exclaimed in unison before rushing out the door leaving behind the others that were waving back at their retreating figures.

"Will they be alright?" Lucy asked as she was concerned for the two of them.

Everyone else smiled, "They'll be fine. Those two will prove to be more than a match for some measly thugs." Naruto explained and Lucy smiled in return and gave him a nod of approval.

(With Mikoto and Kushina)

The two kunoichi were rushing in the distance and had left the Guild a few moments ago. They were now circling Magnolia Town where they would catch hold of the train. They looked around for a while before noticing the train station in the corner and they darted towards the area.

Reaching it, they asked the ticket counter when the next train to Acela Town was to leave and were pleased to hear that it wasn't going to leave for another 30 minutes. They happily paid for their tickets and walked towards the train.

Upon entering the train, they sat down in a booth near the back and leaned into their seats.

"So Mikoto-chan do you want to strategize beforehand?" Kushina asked her friend as she formed a slight thinking pose while Mikoto nodded in agreement with her words.

Mikoto looked at her, "Well we know that the thugs have been holding the people hostage so that means they will be cautious in their security. What we can do is sneak in using our ninja capabilities in order to infiltrate the hideout where the townspeople are being held." She explained before looking at her friend who smiled as she was thinking along the same lines.

"Ladies and gentlemen. We will now be departing for Acela Town. Please stay in your seats as we will be moving shortly. We will arrive at our destination in about 1 hour and 15 minutes."

Kushina and Mikoto glanced at each other while they heard the announcement on the train and leaned further into their seats. They had a little over an hour to rest up so they took the chance.

The next stop was going to be where they would walk onwards from so they had to be ready.

(Back at the bar)

Naruto and the girls were happily conversing with each other, where Mirajane would have to get up periodically to check up on the customers or return to her counter for a short while. That was when everyone noticed Jiraiya the toad sage walk through the door and headed in their direction.

"Yo! Sensei!" Naruto exclaimed with a wave while looking at his former teacher, to which Jiraiya smiled brightly at the young man and he walked up to the group of people and chuckled.

He sat down in the booth, "Hey everyone!" He said cheerfully making everyone except Lucy confused seeing the toad sage in such a good mood as it wasn't so much of a common occurrence.

"I have some good news." Jiraiya said before looking at the others all of whom simply raised an eyebrow in order for him to start explaining his reasoning.

Jiraiya grinned, "So I have now been given permission to start my spy network…" He told them before taking a short pause and then telling them everything that they needed to know about the talks he was having with his friend. If the operation starts soon, then it would be great for all of Fairy Tail.

If the others were shocked, that would be considered an understatement. The toad sage was actually working on a way to gather information about the Dark Guilds as a number one priority and the owner of Sorcerer's Weekly was actually Jiraiya's friend? Naruto knew about his former sensei's operations and they were really good for gathering information as he had retrieved so much knowledge about the Akatsuki in the past. There was no other joy for the blonde to see his sensei back to his cheery self about the whole deal. Haku had learned all about the spy network from viewing Naruto's past life and she was really impressed. This could really turn things around for Fairy Tail and she was very happy about that. The Strauss sisters and Lucy were really surprised by this news and they knew how helpful it could prove to be for the Guild if the spy network became operational. They all smiled at the toad sage.

"That's great news Jiraiya-san!" Mirajane chirped cheerfully to which the others nodded with a pleased look on their face as what they just heard was really interesting to say the least.

Jiraiya nodded his own head in return before he got serious. He turned to his former apprentice, "Naruto-kun my friend really wants you for the interview. He's helped out so much in the cause of the spy network and I think that it's only fair that you come along gaki. What do you say?" He reasoned with Naruto who just went deep into thought with what he had just heard.

"Uh fine Jiraiya-sensei! Let's go." Naruto said to the toad sage as he reached his decision.

Jiraiya perked up considerably and dragged his former apprentice out the door, who waved goodbye to the girls in the bar who waved back happily with a bright smile.

(With Naruto and Jiraiya)

The toad sage and his former apprentice made their way towards the town and came across the magazine building and stepped inside to see Shiho and his camera crew waiting for them.

Shiho went wide-eyed when he saw the rumored man his company was getting so much attention towards was finally here and his friend/sensei had brought him over here to his building. He quickly shook off his thoughts and let the crew members start up with their equipment. Shiho walked forward as the camera had already started filming the interview.

"It's nice to meet you, The White Flash. It's an honor." Shiho said with a respectable bow before extending his hand towards the blonde.

Naruto extended his own hand and met Shiho's in a firm handshake, "Please, call me Naruto." He said warmly before separating his hand making the man smile in return.

The owner of Sorcerer's Weekly gestured for Naruto to sit down and that's what he did while the cameras filmed this entire scene from every best angle possible. The main cameraman set up the camera in front of the two men and began filming the main part of the whole video, the interview.

"So Naruto-san, your moniker is now slowly reaching new plateaus and you're being considered as the high time rising start of the Fairy Tail Guild, how do you feel about that?" Shiho questioned the blonde who simply hummed happily for a short while.

Naruto looked at him intently, "Well Shiho-san I am honored to be given such a privilege by the people in Earthland, mostly by my Guild. My moniker isn't something that I accepted to get famous, but to save the people that were in trouble." He answered calmly making everyone around him smile at his words.

Shiho nodded happily, "So Naruto-san how do you feel about having a fan base following in the future?" He asked with a smile not aware of the blonde's reaction towards the question.

Naruto simply groaned at the displeasure of knowing this information. "I understand that it will become unavoidable in the future but here is what I have to say. I do not want to be worshipped. If people look up to me as their role model that is fine but I do not need people thinking like I am a higher power or something. I am a normal person like everyone else so there is no reason to treat me any different." Naruto told the owner of Sorcerer's Weekly honestly and leaned back with a smile.

Everyone grinned at the answer as the young man truly was a humble person to think of it that way. Other mages would usually rush for the chance to see a fan club but Naruto wanted people to respect him for his work, not his image nor to worship him.

"That is really respectable of you Naruto-san, I have to say. Now for our final question, what do you have to say for the people that have started to respect your accomplishments as a mage?" Shiho asked as he leaned forward in anticipation for the answer while the cameramen zoomed in.

Naruto smiled before looking directly into the camera, "Well Shiho-san that is a good question. I just want to say to you all out there that are working hard for their family, I applaud you. I thank the parents that are there for their family, I admire the friends that look out for each other and I respect those that would rather sacrifice themselves than to see anyone get hurt. I have only one lesson for you today and it was taught to me by a really close friend of mine in the past. When your life grants you with someone you can call your precious people, guard them with your life. When you have those people in your life, you can truly become strong." He said before smiling upon recalling the mission in Wave once more. Not matter how hard he could try, that mission truly was one that changed him.

Shiho smiled brightly in return, "That is really interesting that I admire your personality Naruto-san. There simply aren't enough people like you out there. Thank you for coming to the interview and we hope that we can get visited by you for another one in the future. Thanks again.-" He said before getting up and looking directly at the camera, "-You saw it here folks. Today we had The White Flash for an interview at the Sorcerer's Weekly and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Thank you!" He finished before smiling at the blonde mage and the cameramen stopped their recording with that.

Shiho walked up to him and shook his hand once more. "I really enjoyed talking to you Naruto-san. That was an amazing interview and thank you for coming here once again." He said to him with a warm smile as to him, this was to be amongst the best interviews he had the pleasure of shooting.

"Same here Shiho-san and you're very welcome. Now I'll leave you to your work. I'll see you later perhaps." Naruto replied kindly before leaving the office and heading back towards the bar.

Jiraiya's facial expressions grew serious when he turned towards Shiho, "Now then Shiho-kun let's talk about those terms we discussed earlier." He said with the same serious look plastered on his face making the man in question bob his head robotically.

"H-Hai Jiraiya-sensei right this way!" Shiho exclaimed before leading his new sensei towards his office.

The toad sage started to giggle perversely and he quickly followed his new apprentice with a bright smile. Thinking of his demands, made him giggle again.

(Back at the bar)

The girls were talking to each other when just suddenly, The Ice Princess started to think of something making everyone look at her with concern.

"I swear he might only be using Naruto-kun for-" Haku muttered out loud and the other girls looked at her with confusion when she took a pause. That was when Haku realized what Jiraiya's true intentions were, "THAT PERVERT!" She roared viciously making everyone around her a nervous wreck, considering the fact that the ice user was usually so calm and soft spoken in nature.

"What's wrong Haku-chan?" Mirajane asked Haku, after regaining her composure from the killing intent that had circled around her friend which had made the others grow tense considerably.

Haku was snapped back to reality with the question to which she huffed as her killing intent neutralized. The ice user glared heatedly at the direction of the door and sighed sadly.

"He's probably using Naruto-kun to get with women from that magazine." Haku said before turning towards the other girls whose expressions morphed rapidly from just the thought of the toad sage doing such a thing. Upon realizing that Haku was probably right in her assumptions, they seethed with rage.

Lucy looked seriously for a moment, "Perverted old man." She mumbled under her breath to which the others gave a nod of approval for the comment.

(With Mikoto and Kushina)

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at Acela Town. Please check your belongings before stepping off the train. Thank you for travelling with us and we hope to see you again!" Spoke the announcer through the speakers on the train.

Upon hearing the announcement, the two kunoichi woke up and quickly made their way off the train towards the terminal. They rushed out of the terminal itself and asked for directions towards Aumsville Town, the place they were designated to go to for their mission statement.

After getting the information required, the two women applied chakra to their legs and ran into the distance where they would find the town they were looking for.

On the way there, both of them noticed a familiar face walking towards them which made them stop dead in their tracks, it was Erza Scarlet, a fellow mage of Fairy Tail.

"Hey Erza-chan!" Mikoto chirped while looking at the approaching mage who blinked a few times before smiling brightly at the both of them.

"Hey Mikoto-chan and Kushina-chan!" Erza exclaimed happily with her smile still intact. She looked at them intently, "So what are you two doing here?" She questioned them as it was making her curious to see them so far away from the Guild.

Mikoto and Kushina smiled before telling her about the mission they were going to head off to.

Erza listened on in interest before she added her own words into the conversation. "I am just coming back from a night stay at a hotel as I was finished with my mission the next before. How about I tag along with you two? I have nothing better to do at the Guild currently." She explained as she was really intrigued with the two kunoichi's strength during the exhibition match and wanted to observe them further in the strange skills they both had.

The two in question grinned at her words and nodded in agreement. Erza smiled in return and the now group of three, rushed into the distance where they would find Aumsville Town and save the people that were being held captive by the thugs.

It didn't take them that long to reach their destination as they were moving at a fast pace. Erza was surprised at how much stamina the other two women had as she was having a hard time keeping up with them and she was an official S-class mage. Upon overviewing Aumsville Town, the place was relatively calm if it wasn't for the mission, they could have rather enjoyed spending time here.

On the left side of the town, was a rather large river that people could use to catch fish or just to hang out by the park right next to it. The right side of the town was rocky hill like areas for people to hike or just to add to the scenic beauty of the place. In the center stood a large square shaped marble foundation labelled 'Giovanni Center' and surrounding the building were small houses, shops and moderate sized structures.

Seeing as the building in the center was what they were looking for, they rushed inside to get a hold of their client to see what was going on with the hostages and whatnot. Upon entering the main door, they noticed that there was an elderly woman by the counter and slowly made their way to approach her.

"Hi there we are looking for someone named Lilith as we were requested for a mission." Kushina said calmly to which the woman at the counter smiled brightly and quickly led them towards an office where the client would be currently situated inside. Reaching the office, the woman knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Came a voice from the inside to which the woman stepped back and walked away from the group before wishing them good luck for their mission.

Erza opened the door and the other two behind her walked inside and stood before a young woman. She had long rich blonde hair tied neatly in a ponytail, chocolate brown eyes and was wearing a modern black colored dress with black high heels.

"Please sit down." She stated as she pointed to the chairs while looking at the newcomers before sitting down on her chair herself.

The three mages did as they were told when Mikoto looked at her, "Lilith-san can you explain the details of our mission? We only read just a minor detail on the mission statement so we need information on if you or any of the other townspeople have received any calls on the demands they want or if you know where the people are held up already." She explained while the other two girls could do nothing but nod in agreement as it was exactly what they would have asked the client.

"Sadly we haven't received any information on where the people are. There have been no demands as of yet and we have been trying to find out more but we turn back empty-handed. These are good people and I really hate what is happening in Aumsville Town as it was such a peaceful place to live in. That was before this situation came to pass and now we are quite afraid for our fellow townspeople." Lilith replied before frowning deeply as a few tears escaped her eyes at the recollection of the incident.

The three mages seethed in rage as they were really starting to hate the ones that caused so much pain towards the townspeople. They would stop them at any costs.

Kushina smiled softly while looking at Lilith, "Do not worry anymore Lilith-san, we'll be here to save your people and we'll give it everything we have. Rest assured on that." She told her reassuringly which cheered her up at that and nod eagerly.

"Come on let's see what's going on around here." Mikoto voiced before looking at her best friend and fellow mage intently.

Both redheads nodded and rushed out the door along with the blackette to get to the bottom of this.

(With Naruto)

The blonde walked outside of the interview and was now passing by the streets where the men were looking at him in awe, while the women were just ogling him like a piece of meat. He sighed and continued his walk into the Guild when he noticed a rather strange person standing in the distance.

The man wore a dark blue bandana with a silver forehead protector and a green mask that obscured the bottom half of his face. He had a dark green strap going across his body which were holding staves.

What intrigued Naruto the most was the fact that everyone that was near the mystery man immediately drifted to sleep. Upon seeing this, the blonde slowly made his way towards the man.

"Yo! How's it going?" Naruto chirped innocently trying to test the man's patience and he smirked when he observed the look of disbelief on the man's face.

Even though the forehead protector didn't show his facial expressions, Naruto could physically sense the way that the man was reacting and he chuckled at the sight of it.

He looked at Naruto intently, "H-How are you not affected by my magic!?" He asked in a surprisingly loud voice as he was still trying to find out how the blonde was still standing in his presence.

"What magic?-" Naruto asked innocently while mentally smirking at the man. He continued, "-Anyways I'd better get going…" He said before turning his hand over as for the man to introduce himself.

The man shook his head rapidly, "Forget it. Oh and my name is Mystogan." He told him before looking at the blonde man intently.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Well see ya Mystogan-san! Oh and your magic's a bit rusty!" Naruto exclaimed before smirking and heading off into the distance, leaving behind a sputtering Mystogan.

'So he's The White Flash that everyone's been talking about huh? Interesting.' Mystogan thought to himself before heading into the opposite direction.

(With Jiraiya)

"Alright Shiho-kun now that our terms are written, let's go towards the place you wanted me to see for your connections in establishing the spy network." Jiraiya said to his new apprentice who smiled brightly and gave him a happy nod of approval.

Shiho walked up with a bag and he presented it to the toad sage. "We'll be gone for the night as we will have to get to the train station to head over to Seto Town. Upon reaching there, we'll talk to the people I know so we'll get a chance to set up the spy network. Let's be on with it then Jiraiya-sama." He said to his new sensei, which he had a fun time just thinking about.

Jiraiya agreed with Shiho's words and the two of them left the office and headed towards the train station. They paid for their train tickets for the journey for Seto Town and entered the terminal. After grabbing some snacks for the way there, the two of them stepped into the train and sat down in a booth by the left side of the back. They waited for the conductor to show up and got their tickets stamped.

The toad sage and his friend now leaned back in their seats and began talking to each other for a good while. They had a lot of work to do but they knew that they would give it their all to establish the one thing that was lacking in the Guilds, a proper method of information gathering.

"Ladies and gentlemen. We will now be departing for Seto Town. Please stay in your seats as we will be moving shortly. We will arrive at our destination in about 3 hours and 25 minutes." Came the announcement from the speakers in the train.

Jiraiya and Shiho looked at each other with a smile before leaning into their seats further and drifting off to sleep. There was no reason for them to stay awake for all that time.

(Back to Aumsville Town)

The three mages of Fairy Tail were rushing at every hidden spot they could find but didn't find any leads. They were now at the center of town looking around sadly thinking of a way to locate the prisoners.

"So I hear that Naruto-san's accomplishments have reached far already. I saw the news and I must say that it is quite impressive to see." Erza commented before looking at the two kunoichi.

Erza was really surprised when she heard it but at the same time, didn't take long accepting the fact. She saw just how powerful Naruto was when he defeated Laxus but when she heard that he took on Emberverns, the Embervern leader and Fiery Vulcans all in the same mission, she paled at the thought of it. That was not something a regular mage could do and knew that Naruto was still holding back his power which was really getting her curious about the man's true strength. She felt drawn to him for some reason but didn't pay much attention to it.

Mikoto smiled, "Well that's Naruto-kun for you!" She exclaimed cheerfully.

"Yep! Naruto-kun is only going to become a stronger mage in time." Kushina added with a bright smile.

Now Erza paled further at the thought of the blonde getting stronger. Why it bothered her when the two other women called Naruto with that suffix didn't make sense to her. She simply nodded with a smile of her own before all three of them felt something ominous in the air.

"DIE!" Was heard before a large blast was aimed towards the three mages and were sent back flying.

They got up to see what was going on and Erza's eyes widened to see their attacker, "Demon." She growled before glaring in the direction the blast came from.

Mikoto and Kushina turned around immediately and their eyes narrowed. "Isn't that a human, Erza-chan? Why are you referring him to be a demon?" Mikoto questioned the mage while Kushina could do only but nod at her friend's words as this was getting confusing.

Erza shook her head quickly, "No that is not a human! That is a demon possessing the body of a man after killing him. That is what is happening. The townspeople here must have thought it was a group of measly thugs while in reality, there were demons possessing their targets and using them to do their dirty work. Why demons are using these men to kidnap the townspeople is something I don't get." She answered while fuming at the turn of events. This changes things considerably.

"Do we have to kill them?" Kushina asked before looking at her fellow redhead intently. Mikoto was on the same page as her friend so she also took a quick glance at Erza.

Both kunoichi remembered that killing was frowned upon in Fairy Tail. However these demons were possessing the humans and thus killing them would be like killing the men they possessed. The troublesome part was that the man being possessed were supposedly dead.

"Yes we will have to." Erza sighed deeply before continuing, "I was on this mission in the past where a demon possessed someone and I took it down but spared its life considering the fact that I thought the human inside was still alive. That was when I realized that those demons actually kill the men they possess so that the humanity within the man's soul doesn't interfere with anything." She finished and frowned deeply upon having to remember that mission. Erza didn't like killing at all and felt really bad about killing those demons but then realized that it was necessary and sadly had to accept that fact.

The two kunoichi were wide-eyed but understood the redhead's point of view in leaving the possessed man alive. However now they couldn't have to worry about that having to killing or not anymore seeing as the demons have been kidnapped so many people in the town and they would not stand by that.

"I see him!" Kushina yelled as she pointed her finger at the shadowy figure in the distance.

"Let's be off!" Mikoto shouted before rushing into that direction and the other two were behind her.

The three mages looked around in confusion as to where the demon was vanished off to until they felt that same ominous aura in the distance and rushed towards it. In the center of an abandoned building, there was a low staircase underneath on the outskirt of the town which all three mages facepalmed as they hadn't even checked this area as of yet. They rushed downstairs and kicked the door wide open and that is when they realized that they were in the right direction.

"Please help us!"

"I want my mommy!"

"Get us out of here!"

Came the cries of everyone inside. Erza, Mikoto and Kushina quickly rushed forward and broke the chains that were keeping the people in this horrible place tied up.

Kushina turned her attention towards her fellow mages, "Let's get them out of his hell hole!" She yelled before grabbing hold of a few children and darting upstairs and the others followed suit.

They all brought everyone upstairs and outside of the building and were on their way to leading them to the Giovani Center so they could be safe when they saw a group of people standing there. There were almost 20 of them and they were all glaring at the mages with disgust. On the sidelines were the townspeople that had gathered to see what was going on and that made the mages even more on edge considering the fact that the demons were there to annihilate the people and take over their bodies.

"Erza-chan you take these people that we saved and towards the ones that are standing over there. Kushina-chan and I will take care of the situation here." Mikoto said before turning towards her best friend who gave her a nod of approval and got in her stance.

Erza's eyes widened, "Y-You can't be serious! There are too many of them for just the two of you. These man are possessed by demons which mean that they have the abilities of them now. Think about it!" She yelled trying to reason with the two kunoichi but her efforts proved to be pointless.

Kushina looked at Erza intently, "Mikoto-chan is right. Now go Erza-chan! We got it covered!" She shouted and her fellow redhead nodded hesitantly at what she was hearing.

'I hope you two know what you are doing. Well I better play my part in this.' Erza thought to herself before quickly grabbing hold of the few children that were present, "Let's go guys!" She exclaimed to the others that were held captive who nodded quickly and followed the mage into the distance where the other townspeople were watching the scene unfold.

"Ready?" Mikoto asked her friend.

"Let's do this!" Kushina yelled.

The both of them charged into the direction of their enemies.

(With Mikoto)

The blackette was glaring at the possessed people while running through hand signs rapidly. She took a short break before yelling, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" and sent flames towards the enemies which they took full on and were blown into the flames, leaving 12 of her foes left.

Mikoto charged at the others before shouting, "Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Jutsu!" which sent waves of lightning at the possessed men as it immobilized them completely.

She smirked before running through another sequence of hand signs, "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu!" which launched flames from her mouth forming a shape of a dragon and completely burning the men alive.

"This part is over. Let's see how Kushina-chan is doing." She whispered to herself before heading in the direction of her friend.

(With Kushina)

The redhead was rushing towards her opponents before rapidly running through hand signs, "Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu!" She roared as water quickly formed and was sent charging at the enemy head on as they were all sent flying back.

"Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Jutsu!" Kushina shouted while running at the possessed men once again and sending a wave of lightning at them, immobilizing them while electrocuting them simultaneously.

Kushina grinned as she formed her final move, rapidly changing hand signs before screaming, "Water Style: Water Phoenix Jutsu!" as water rushed out her mouth and took the form of a phoenix and completely annihilated the possessed men.

"Well I think that takes care of that." She said to herself before looking around her surroundings.

(With the two kunoichi)

Mikoto arrived to where her friend, "Kushina-chan its good we defeated them all but we aren't done yet." She said before turning to the direction of the ominous aura that was heading their way.

Kushina nodded and got into her stance once again as she felt the same aura approaching.

Looking towards the distance, they could see one last man walking forward but this man was not just possessed, he was actually a demon himself.

"You took down my weaker minions and that is astonishing however I am your death!" He roared while looking at the blackette and redhead before black aura encased him and 20 other possessed men appeared in the distance.

"Uzumaki Sealing Style: Release!"

Kushina and Mikoto quickly grabbed hold of their swords and didn't even respond to the threat of the demon as they went charging at the newcomers in a blur of red and black. One by one, each of the possessed men fell to the ground as Kushina and Mikoto kept up impaling the enemies with their swords.

"WHAT!" The demon yelled while he was still in shock to see this happening.

The two kunoichi were still not done as they turned towards the demon himself, "Your end is here." They yelled in unison before they started to gather magical energy within themselves.

They looked at each other and Mikoto asked, "Combination style?" with a smirk to which Kushina gave a smirk of her own and nodded in the affirmative.

They quickly stood side by side and yelled in unison.

"Inferno Magic: Flames of the Forgotten!"

"Whirlpool Magic: Waves of Destruction!"

The attacks came rushing forward at the demon and attacked head on, "AHH!" The demon screamed in agony as the attacks were evaporating him as the flames burned his body while the water neutralized the attack and hissed upon contact.

The demon kept screeching as the attack kept hitting him at full force until it stopped and the demon dropped lifeless on the floor.

"It's finally over." Kushina said to her friend with a smile.

Mikoto turned to her friend with the same smile, "Yep! Now let's head back!" She chirped and the two ran towards the area where the other townspeople were situated at.

Both kunoichi thought that the demon they just had to fight was pretty weak. That was only because of the fact that in the Elemental Nations, both of them knew of only the bijuu and the opponents they had to face didn't really prove anything to them.

(On the sidelines)

The townspeople were left speechless at the display they had just witnessed.

"Damn that was really something alright." Erza muttered to herself as she was still shocked at the brutal attacks and what shocked her the most was this new magic style that her fellow mages had.

The redhead mage really wanted to find a way to save the possessed men but the fact that those worthless killed their targets before taking control of their bodies left no mage the chance. It was always hard killing but it had to be done, otherwise the townspeople would have never known peace.

Mikoto and Kushina appeared and everyone started chanting.

"YOU TWO WERE AWESOME!"

"Wow that was amazing!"

"Thank you for saving us!"

The two kunoichi smiled brightly as they happily waved the people off and turned their attention towards their fellow mage who smiled at them. They all sighed in relief to see families getting together again as the ones who were kidnapped were crying their eyes out seeing them right now. It was simply a heartwarming moment for everyone to witness.

Lilith was amongst the ones present in the crowd, "Shall we go back?" She asked the mages who nodded with a smile and everyone followed the client back to the center of the town.

(Back at bar)

Naruto walked into the establishment where he saw Haku and Mirajane eating in a booth by the counter. He approached them with a bright smile.

"Hey you two!" He said as he looked over at them.

The girls immediately perked up at the voice and looked up to see Naruto, "Hey Naruto-kun!" Haku exclaimed happily while Mirajane was still eating so she just waved her hands as a greeting.

Naruto chuckled and seated himself while looking at the two in amusement. They poured him a drink from a jug they had on the table and he graciously took it and leaned back in his seat.

"So Naruto-kun how did the interview go?" Haku asked him while eyeing him curiously while Mirajane bobbed her head along as we wanted to know as well.

Naruto smiled, "It went well. They just asked me a few questions here and there about how I was feeling about the moniker and few more things." He answered making both girls smile in return.

Naruto then noticed something was amiss, "Where did Lisanna-san and Lucy-san head off to?" He asked while turning around slightly.

"Lisanna-chan and Lucy-chan are gone for a mission with Natsu and Gray. They stopped by earlier and the girls tagged along. They should be back by nightfall most probably." Mirajane answered before smiling to which Naruto nodded back with a smile of his own.

Naruto turned his attention towards Haku, "So Haku-chan did you practice your magic style?" He asked her while Mirajane was confused as to what he was talking about.

Haku shook her head, "No I didn't Naruto-kun but I will start from tomorrow most probably. I am interested in learning more spells for it because it is a rather nice style to have." She answered with a smile which got Mirajane even more intrigued by what her friend was speaking of.

"I understand Haku-chan and I agree with your words completely." Naruto told her while leaning back in his seat.

Naruto new that the ice user was always one that didn't like to fight much and was more peaceful in nature and he was totally fine with that. That was the reason why he was drawn to her during the mission to Wave Country. The girl really had heart and had taught him the life lesson that he up to this day continues to follow without a second glance.

Haku smiled brightly at the blonde as she knew that he understood her reasoning.

"So Mirajane-san where is Erza-san?" Naruto asked the silverette as it has been over two days since he last saw the redhead mage around in the Guild.

Mirajane hummed before saying, "Erza-chan should have been back here but maybe the mission she took proved to be more tedious than she predicted? Well she'll be back soon I suppose."

Naruto and Haku nodded and then proceeded with talking with each other for a good while. Mirajane would assist some customers that would show up and the two ninjas would help her out from time to time as well. It was going to be time to close up the bar soon anyways.

(Back to Aumsville Town)

The mages were at the town square currently where everyone was still present as they really wanted to thank the three women for saving them from those demons. They were reunited with their loved ones that were held captive and they all had the three mages to thank for it all.

"I don't know how to thank you all for helping the people of Aumsville Town." Lilith said as her eyes watered slightly at the sight of her fellow townspeople. She realized now that calling the mages from Fairy Tail was the best decision that she ever made and was only going to consider calling the mages from that Guild from now on.

Mikoto smiled, "It's not a problem. We were happy to do this for the townspeople." She said warmly and her two fellow Guild mates nodded with a bright smile as well. She had the best time reevaluating her skills in the ninja arts and her magic, along with her teamwork with Kushina was coming along rather nicely.

Lilith shook her head, "Please, you all have to stay for a night before leaving the town. It's the least we can do." She responded in a pleading tone and the townspeople cheered on in agreement.

"Um… we should really be heading back soon." Kushina countered trying not to impose but couldn't help but agree that it was getting late and staying actually wouldn't be such a bad idea.

"WE INSIST!" Came the shouts of the townspeople as they didn't want their saviors to leave without having a good night's rest.

The mages scratched the back of their heads before chuckling sheepishly, "Alright we'll stay." They conceded in unison to which the people around them were shouting in victory. The townspeople started to gather around the mages and one by one, they personally thanked them for helping out with the problem. After everyone started to slowly retire to their homes, Lilith approached the three mages.

"I'll show you three to your rooms." Lilith told them to which they nodded and followed the client into a hotel that was near the Giovanni Center.

They reached the inside and smiled as they stood before three rooms. Lilith waved at them and then left the complex where the three were left standing.

"Good night you guys. We'll be heading out first thing in the morning." Erza told them before yawning slightly and opening the door to her room and walking inside.

The others nodded and entered their own rooms where they could sleep for the night before returning to Fairy Tail.

(At the household)

Naruto, Mirajane and Haku walked through town until they reached the home. They stepped in with a smile and Haku immediately went and got everyone some beverages to drink, while the blonde and silverette sat down in the lounge. Haku brought the drinks and placed them on the coffee table.

"So Mira-chan do you want to train with me tomorrow?" Haku asked her friend.

Mirajane blinked before smiling brightly, "Sounds good to me Haku-chan!" She exclaimed and then picked up the drink in front of her and happily gulped it down.

"I can watch over the training tomorrow before leaving for another mission if you'd like." Naruto offered as he was interested in seeing how the kunoichi would fare in her magic art seeing as she didn't practice much.

Haku nodded her head eagerly as she wanted nothing more than the blonde to help her out.

Mirajane was rather interested in seeing her friend's strength. Even though she could be considered to be stronger than most but she knew better than to underestimate anyone. Haku was strong and the silverette could feel it but like her, she would rather prefer to relax than to fight all the time.

The three of them started to talk to each other happily before looking at the time and went wide-eyed.

"It's getting late now and I'd better get to bed now." Naruto said before getting up from his seat and the two girls followed suit.

Mirajane smiled, "I'll be going as well. See you both tomorrow. Goodnight!" She exclaimed before waving at the two of them and heading towards the hallway.

Naruto waved back before walking upstairs while Haku went to see off her friend at the door. The Ice Princess smiled as she saw Mirajane's retreating figure and walked upstairs to get a nice rest as well.

The blonde himself was in bed now before he was slowly being called into his mindscape.

(In the mindscape)

The bright light dissipated within the mindscape where Naruto appeared with a smile on his face. The blonde looked around for his sensei but he was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly a gust of wind formed in front of him and landed the leader of White Dragons, Timaeus.

"Hey Naruto are you ready?" Timaeus asked his apprentice.

Naruto looked at him with a smile, "I was born ready sensei." He answered before getting into his stance to which Timaeus chuckled before getting into a stance of his own.

"Good to hear Naruto, now show me how much you've progressed!" Timaeus roared.

Naruto blinked before charging at his sensei for another two weeks of training inside the mindscape.

(Outside Magnolia Town)

A lone shadow looked down at the town with a menacing smile before chuckling darkly.

Author's Notes: Now that's that folks! How'd you like the chapter? Reviews people! What do you think is going to happen in the next one!? :D

This chapter didn't contain much action. The reason why I'm progressing so slowly is because I wanna give each character ample time to have been trained before going on mission of a higher calibre, with the exception of Naruto.

As the chapter stated, Naruto will not utilize his Hurricane Magic until he has mastered his White Dragon Slayer Magic. This is because I want him to focus on one thing before focusing on another. It also balances his abilities out, as he won't have to focus on training his already mastered magic before shifting on. Another reason for having the chapters go a little slow is because I am viewing them as per the Fairy Tail universe would itself. Until they are completely comfortable with their surroundings, a time-skip will not be necessary. As for the training in the mindscape that Naruto is receiving, these scenes will hold relevance in the future.

Mikoto's and Haku's feelings for Naruto have been increasing at a steady pace, while Kushina is still trying to find herself before moving in. Mirajane is on the same page as Kushina. Naruto having feelings for the girls is one thing, having him realize it is another. He could not act upon these feelings, because he doesn't want to choose between them, and wouldn't have to if he finds a good enough reason to establish a clan status into Fairy Tail.

Final Note: Just because Naruto was made famous using the Hiraishin, doesn't mean that "The White Flash" will be his only moniker. He is NOT in the shadow of his father. He will get famous in his own ways in time.

Prepare yourselves for the next chapter! It'll be full of action I can assure you! :D

Peace,

Egyptian God Phoenix
