TenshiEren14: Please tell me when you do. I would like to read your stories.

I already know I will get hate and likes for this chapter. I want you to know I am prepared for this, as I gave the term Wizard Saints new meaning. This is how all Wizard Saint fights will be, except for Makarov vs. Jose.

The Backlash!

Naruto stood in front of a furious Makarov, a neutral expression on his face. "Why didn't you tell Erza to surrender this fight!? You knew the power of Matatabi! You knew Erza would lose!"

Naruto nodded. "Yes, I knew she would lose. I told her such, she knew she would lose also. However, she was determined to continue on. Who was I to stop her?"

Makarov snarled, slamming his fist down on the table in front of him that shook from the force. Naruto did not even flinch, not intimidated in the slightest. Naruto placed a hand on the elderly man's chest. "Calm down. Matatabi will pay, I guarantee you that. She will fall."

Naruto then stood and began to walk towards the door, only to hear Makarov say something.

"I'll leave this to you."

Naruto did not smile.

Naruto walked into the living room of the guilds house, sitting on a couch and rubbing his forehead. He groaned briefly before opening his link.

'Kurama, I swear to God I'm going to kill Matatabi.'

"Shut up brat. I don't disagree that she deserves it, but we both know that that personality wasn't hers."

Naruto nodded. 'Yeah. I don't know what, but Mito did something to the Bijuu. Shukaku was always an insane asshole, but Matatabi isn't like that. Did she reverse-engineer the Bijuu? Is that even possible?'

Kurama frowned, placing his head on his paws. "I don't know. We are not technically alive so it's quite possible that we could be reverse-engineered, but only through genjutsu most likely, and the illusions in this world are not strong enough to do such. But, if I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with the lacrima they are contained in."

Naruto thought on it. 'That makes sense. All the Bijuu have access to some power they didn't in our world here. We know that it comes from the lacrima, but not exactly what it does. It has to do with that.'

Kurama nodded. "We can discuss this later. The bluenet is coming over here."

Naruto looked up to see Levy standing in front of him. "What is it Levy?" he asked. Levy looked bashful, before she turned, allowing Naruto to see Natsu, Lucy, and Elfman standing behind her. His eyes widened. Levy walked over, standing in front of them before bowing, as did all of the others.

"Please train us."

Naruto's eyes shot open wide. "Excuse me?"

Natsu nodded. "Naruto you're strong. Stronger than master, Gildarts, from what we know only the Bijuu and Sasuke can give you a true run for your money, at least when you're using that form that you used when Erza was in trouble. I know you've trained me before but after seeing Erza get totally…thrashed back there we realized that we are too weak. We can't go on like this, being weak like this. If Erza can't defeat them then what chance do we stand? Please, take us under your wing. Train us the exact way you were taught, we can take it."

Lucy nodded. "I agree. I don't know how long I could have gone on refusing this, but the fact is I rely on my Celestial Spirits. I can't battle without them. The Bijuu would slaughter me."

Elfman nodded. "Erza couldn't beat them. Erza used to be at Mira-nee's level, but she surpassed her in Mira's retirement. If Erza can't win, then I know I can't either." Naruto's eyes widened even further, taking this in a new light. If Elfman was truly being serious, which he was as he wasn't spouting his man bull crap, then he didn't think he could refuse, although training them in the way he was taught would not be a good idea. They'd rarely learn anything…damn pervert.

Levy sighed. "If any I'm the most pitiful. My magic just isn't strong enough. I'm frail. I don't have endurance. I'm weak as a whole. I couldn't last against them, heck I know for a fact that I don't deserve the A-rank mage title I have. Please, train me."

Naruto sighed, frowning. "You all really want me to train you."

They nodded.

He sighed. "Well I can't refuse you, especially after what happened. I won't be able to really start until we get back, but I'll give you a hint now, each of you. Lucy, you're right you rely too much on your Celestial Spirits. Get a weapon and train in it, or learn a different magic. Hell, use that massive intellect of yours and become a trapper. Elfman, for you the first step is to master a Full-Body Takeover. If you can't do that, then I am not training you. Levy, for you you're wrong and right. Your body is frail, and you don't have a lot of endurance. However, your magic is versatile and makes up for that. Learn how to use that versatility."

Naruto then focused on Natsu, the other three nodding and backing away. Naruto sighed and looked Natsu in the eye.

"There are several problems with you. For one thing you're fighting style, change it. I used to fight like you, an all-out brawler, however now I know that that is foolhardy. Your body is not tank-built. You are more on the lean side. Develop of fighting style based on speed. Another is something I learned from Kai. First off, you are only scratching the surface of your Dragonslayer Magic. Now I can't completely blame you as Igneel left you for an unknown reason, however there are two layers you have yet to unlock, and each comes with their own set of abilities. The Drive and Dragonforce. Drive is the halfway point between Dragonforce and your normal state. And Dragonforce is the true force of a dragon. You aren't using it. If anything you haven't even scrapped Drive level yet. And if that doesn't work out always remember Natsu, there is more than one type of magic out there, and all of them have their pros and cons. Now each of you think on what I said and figure out a way to solve your problems," Naruto ordered.

The four nodded, although Natsu looked disheartened. Naruto sighed as he watched his original student leave.

'Natsu…tap into your potential as a true dragon.'

XxX

Sasuke nearly spat out the soda he was drinking. He glared at Mira, Gray, and Cana, specifically Gray.

"I will give you one second to fix what you just asked me." He warned. A second slowly ticked by.

"All of you pass." Sasuke said with a sigh. Gray smiled, nodding to Sasuke.

"Thanks Sasuke. We really need this training. We need to garner our full abilities and surpass them. If we can't…then I fear for out guilds future with the Bijuu."

Sasuke nodded before he glanced over them. "Okay, so training starts tomorrow. However, there are things I want all of you to work on before training truly begins. First off, Gray, there is a latent magic in you. I don't know exactly what it is, but I do know that you have another magic in you, relating to ice. More so, you said that there are more forms of Ice-make than the one you use. Well, go back to your origins and learn them. You can do so after the tournament. Your origins are usually the best place to learn something. Cana, your magic, it's pathetic by itself. However, combination attacks would be deadly, as would traps. I know a guy from my world who was a genius, and while you are not, you still have the potential to be an amazing trapper. However, more so, you are using the most basic form of Card Magic. Develop a new form. Plus, you have an extraordinary amount of latent magic power. Tap into that. As for you Mira, you know your problem. You lost your will to fight. Gain that, and then I'll tell you you're weaknesses. Get to work." The three nodded stiffly before racing out, all eager to begin their work.

Sasuke then sat down, rubbing his temples harshly. "Great. That's three students I have to take care of now. And Gray was a handful in-it-of-himself. Ugh. This is gonna be a pain. However, Mira? She wants to get back into fighting. Something's up."

Sasuke vanished in a small cloak of black lightning.

XxX

Sasuke leaned on a tree nearby, not even bothering to conceal his presence from Mira. He knew she knew he was here anyways. Mira was currently covered in sweat as she concentrated trying to tap into the power she had long ago locked away. It was like trying to get into your house but you didn't know the right key. Mira began to sway remembering what she looked like. The tail, the wings, the hair, everything. She felt it inside that house, but she couldn't find it. She slammed on the cage again, but found it to stay strong.

In reality Mira fell to the ground, sweat covering her face as she did so. This had been her fifteenth time failing and draining her small magic reserves even more. Sasuke sighed and walked over, sitting down next to her as she sat there on her knees.

"Mira, take a break. You won't be able to do this in a single day."

Mira shook her head, and began to stand on wobbly legs. "No…I have to get this down now. Erza…is…depending on me. On all of us." Sasuke frowned and stood with her.

"She can't depend on someone who can't transform, let alone stand. Take a break."

Mira glared at Sasuke. "What do you know!? You never had to deal with being too weak to protect someone that you cared about! You went on a warpath after your family died simply because you let yourself get consumed by hatred, and the words of the person who killed them no less! Yet you never lost your power! Your power stayed with you and you cultivated it. You have no idea what it's like to lose your spirit." Tears flowed from Mira's eyes as she said this, stopping Sasuke's snappy remark. He knew she didn't really mean what she said now.

"You're wrong." Sasuke said. Mirajane's eyes widened. "I have had to deal with being too weak to protect the people I care about. And yes, I won't deny I went down the wrong path, a very dark path. And I'm ashamed of it. I won't deny that I came out luckier than you did, and I won't deny that I didn't deserve that luck. But I know what it's like to lose your spirit. Everyone does."

Mira let the tears flow freely from her face and as she leaned onto Sasuke, forcing him to carry her. He rubbed her back soothingly, although he was very unused to this type of contact. Mira placed her head in the crook of Sasuke's neck, crying.

"I let her die."

"No you didn't Mira. It's no one's fault. However, Lisanna wouldn't want to see you like this."

Suddenly Mira's legs gave out and she fell on top of Sasuke both of them falling onto the ground. Mira blushed as Sasuke just gave off a slight smirk. Mira lay on top of Sasuke, their legs intertwined with Mira's long white hair covering their faces from the world. Her right hand lay on top of Sasuke's chest and his arms were wrapped around her waist.

"Fine I'll take a break," Mirajane said.

XxX

Naruto sat down on the plain white chair, looking at Erza who lie on the hospital bed, awake with her eyes closed, although she knew Naruto was there.

"Naruto," she mumbled with a scratchy voice. Naruto's eyes widened before he grabbed Erza hand. "Yeah?"

"Am I weak?" she asked.

Naruto paused, not expecting the sudden question. "What do you mean?" Erza opened her eyes, looking at him with a sadness in her eyes that Naruto himself knew when he couldn't save Sasuke from the darkness.

"I couldn't win. I couldn't protect what was precious to me. I failed. I'm a failure. I'm weak! I couldn't stop Matatabi!"

Naruto lay a hand on Erza's head. "Yes Erza, compared to the people in my original world you are weak. Few people here could lay a hand on them. But Erza you have to remember that even among my original world, the BIjuu, Sasuke, and I are all outliers. We would be considered Gods among men. Erza, our original power source, chakra has a lot more capabilities than magic does. We could walk on water, on flat surfaces going upwards, hell I've heard of this one guy who supposedly could walk on air. We could summon large creatures with a small blood offering and a large amount of chakra. We fought creatures that could cause tsunami's with a flick of their tail. Magic can't do that. Magic can't walk on water, it can't walk on flat surfaces going upwards, you can't walk on air, you can't summon large creatures with a blood offering and magic, there are not creatures here, other than dragons, that can cause tsunami's with a flick of their tail. You have none of that. You didn't have the upbringing we did. Where we live, in the job we took, you became strong or you died, and in our line of work people usually died early in life, view people made it to thirty, and fewer made it even further. Hell Erza, we had people that could bring others back from the dead, people that could create moons. Were we lived was a hellish place. We had to grow to become strong. Fiore isn't like that."

Erza frowned. "Are you saying that we stand no chance against the Bijuu?"

Naruto frowned. "There is a possibility. However, Fairy Tail would have to leave Fiore, for a long time. Go to one of the more dangerous countries. Sasuke and I alone can't train all of you up to the level required. Hell even if we could somehow give Kurama a physical form for periods of time there is no way we could do it all alone. The only country, well it isn't a country, more like a landmass, that could truly compare to the Elemental Nations enough to truly give you guys the rise in power necessary is the Arashi. The Tempest."

"The Tempest," Erza mumbled. "The place that while has no storms, is filled with unimaginable creatures, people with strength that people say rivals even the Four Gods of Ishval demigods on average.. The one country that nearly crushed Fiore during the wars, and would have had it not been for Mavis Vermillion, the First Master of Fairy Tail. To go to a place like that, I can't imagine anything but positive results if we survive."

Naruto nodded. "That's if we survive though. And it's likely that you won't. Even Sasuke and I don't know exactly how strong the Gods of Ishval are. We've only seen the second weakest one, and she was…she was a monster."

(-Flashback-)

Naruto groaned as he looked at the doors he was supposed to walk through for his first ever meeting with the Wizard Saints. He groaned, glaring at Sasuke who had forced him along. Technically only one of them had to be here as they were both considered the same rank, hence the never-before-seen 11 Wizard Saints. However, that didn't mean he liked it.

Sasuke just rolled his eyes and prepared to open the door only for Naruto to just kick it, black winds surrounding his foot. Sasuke just groaned before walking inwards, silently beginning to dread bringing Naruto along. He was never good in political situations unless his charisma got to work on people.

The two walked in to see one female sitting in the center of the room, a frown on her face.

"What arrogant little pricks." She said as they walked in. "Especially the blonde one. He radiates overconfidence."

The woman had long crimson hair styled in a high ponytail that flew to her waist. However, her style of hair did nothing to prevent the thickness of her hair, allowing some to drape over her body, and even bangs to cover her left eye. She wore a dark, metal yukata top over her body, and skin tight, metal pants. Two black cloaks draped around her, both sticking from the sides of her yukata top. She had black eyes, and two small earrings in either ear. Her bust was rather small, yet she did have a good figure. Lastly, she wore white gauntlets.

All-in-all she looked like an older version of Erza, and also way more uptight.

Naruto blanched. "The hell are you?"

The woman frowned. "Such disrespect won't do."

Suddenly a surge of power shot upwards, black in color. The picture of a Death God with a scythe in its hand outlined her as she glared at them.

"Bow." She stated simply.

Sasuke and Naruto wasted no time doing so. This woman, her level of magic was greatly above their own. It was above Makarov's as well. Sasuke frowned as he looked into the eyes of the woman, to see nothing other than cold hard discipline. Eyes like that scared him and made him want to fight the wielder. However, from this alone he knew he couldn't. Suddenly several pillars in the room turned to small stones of their former selves. It was too fast for Sasuke to see without his Sharingan however, Naruto saw it just fine, maybe because it was his magic she was using.

"Impossible."

"I beg to differ."

"Sky God Slayer Magic," he mumbled, his eyes wide. She shook her head. "Incorrect. Sky Slayer. My own form of Sky God Slayer Magic taught to me by Kai, the Sky God himself."

Naruto bowed before the lady. "You are the one Kai told me about, his first student. The one he said I would have to defeat to truly become the one and only God Slayer of the Skies." The woman shook her head. "Incorrect again. Sky Slayer is not Sky God Slayer Magic. In fact, the only reason its winds are black is because Kai blessed me. It's simply based off the magic. I am not your future opponent God Slayer."

Naruto slowly nodded. "Who are you?" he asked with much more respect than the last time.

"My name is Ezra Vermillion. And I am the third Wizard Saint, third most powerful God of Ishval, although it is more proper to say Goddesses. There are only two males in our group, and neither are the strongest."

(-Flashback-)

Naruto shuddered at the memory. "I have no doubt she was more powerful than I. And if their demigods are anything like they are, the people in Tempest are nothing short of monsters, all of which are more powerful than likely all Wizard Saints except for Naruto, Makarov, Sasuke, and maybe, maybe, Jose of Phantom Lord."

Erza bowed her head. "So I'm destined to be weak," she mumbled. Naruto shook his head, putting their foreheads together in a genuine show of affection. "No. You are strong. I promise you, if, no, when, we go to Tempest and get back you'll be stronger than ever. You're Erza Scarlet. You are the strongest female mage in Fairy Tail."

Erza frowned. "I'm not sure I even deserve that title any more. What's that title to a woman who can make you and Sasuke bow to her without even doing anything other than using a magical aura?"

Naruto frowned.

XxX

Naruto groaned, looking over at Sasuke who was paired with him. "Hey Sasuke," he called. Sasuke turned, a towel around his waist as he had just gotten out of the shower. "What is it?" the Uchiha asked. Naruto stood and put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder, making the lone Uchiha in this world raise a single eyebrow.

"I need you to lose on purpose, or forfeit, your choice."

Sasuke slammed a punch into Naruto's gut, but the lone Uzumaki of this world was expecting it and did not bend.

"No."

"I know what I'm asking sounds preposterous. I know that you want to rip Matatabi's throat out too. I know I'm being selfish, but she harmed Erza. She harmed my Erza. She nearly killed her. She made Erza doubt herself. She brought nearly fatal pain onto a guild member, onto Erza. She deserves pain."

Sasuke nodded. "And I will give her what she deserves."

"No," Naruto said sternly. "You will not. I will."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Naruto. You don't even know if you'll beat Jura. I have the shot now. Do not be selfish!"

Naruto snarled, his eyes instantly changing into their Sage Mode form. The sun mark on his hand began to glow lightly. "Sasuke. Do not doubt me. I can handle Jura with ease. He may be a Wizard Saint, but he is not ony the weakest of us, but he stands no cahcne against me. He doesn't have the versatility I have. He doesn't have the strength I have. The sheer destructive power, nor speed."

Sasuke snarled. "And which one of us said not to let our pride become overconfidence? Now here you are being a hypocrite as usual! You're right, in destructive capability, and speed, you have him beat. But he has more experience using magic than you. He has more experience in fighting battles involving magic than you. You are overconfident in your abilities! It's time someone brought you down to size!"

Naruto drew in the transformation he was beginning, sealing the power. He walked towards the door, glaring at Sasuke. "Alright. Be at the outskirts of the city in three minutes."

The duo vanished.

XxX

Sasuke stood in front of Naruto, a snarl on his face. The duo glared at each other, neither of them wanting to kneel before their opponent. Naruto crouched, preparing to take off, before he glared at Sasuke.

"This is your last chance to change your decision."

Sasuke shook his head. Naruto nodded. "So be it."

Naruto took off, his body highlighted with a golden energy. He had already activated Meteor, his go-to magic. Sasuke however was prepared, his eyes crimson and blazing. The Uchiha raised a fist, blocking the first punch Naruto threw. He bent his knees from the force of the blow, a frown brushing against his features as the ground behind him exploded in spider web cracks.

Sasuke frowned as he felt his body slowly get pushed back before flowing with the force, his body moving parallel with the ground, forcing Naruto to float over him. Sasuke lashed out with his legs, body feet slamming into Naruto's gut and sending him upwards. Sasuke then clapped his hands together.

"Arc of Embodiment: Twin Demons!" he hollered before landing. Two spectral forms appeared around him before shooting straight into the air, purple flames licking off their bodies. Both forms cocked back punches, before launching them directly towards Naruto. However, Naruto had caught himself in midair before raising his hands and catching the punches. He frowned, slamming a kick into one of their chests. However, the figure split in half before reforming and slamming an elbow down onto Naruto's head, snapping his head downwards. Sasuke frowned at that. He knew from personal experience that Naruto should have been sent careening towards the ground with the power those demons had. He found his answer in the small, black whirlwinds under Naruto's feet.

Those whirlwinds suddenly exploded into two massive whirlwinds of shredding power as the spectral forms essentially evaporated through the power. As the whirlwinds cleared Naruto was no longer there. Sasuke's eyes widened before he felt a palm slam into his chest, sending him stumbling backwards. Sasuke growled, noticing the faint traces of magic before he frowned.

"It seems I wasn't able to stop you," Sasuke grumbled. Naruto nodded. "Correct. It was a success. Dark Ericture: Hiraishin."

Sasuke sighed, his eyes changing into their Mangekyo state. "I'll have to use half of its full power to keep up with you then."

Naruto smirked. "You think only half-"

Not even a second passed before Naruto was in front of Sasuke, talking like he had never been interrupted, which for all intents and purposes he hadn't. "-can keep up with me!?"

Sasuke blocked a kick haphazardly, only being able to because he saw Naruto building magic before moving. Suddenly Naruto was upon him again, his Thunder God Kunai already in hand. Sasuke's eyes widened before he drew his sword in a single fluid motion, clashing with Naruto's blade. Sasuke suddenly pulled back and spun, slamming his blade against Naruto's kunai on the other side. The sudden twist in the area where force was applied sent Naruto flying, forcing him to dig his heels into the ground to stay stable. However, the moment of brief unbalance he had Sasuke capitalized on, his right hand already in motion.

"Lightning God's Chidori Senbon!"

Sasuke swiped his hand, letting loose a torrent of swirling, black, lightning-senbon at Naruto who frowned. Naruto raised his arm, a frown gracing his features.

"Sky God's Cleaver!" Naruto brought the arm down, and with it he brought down a gust of black wind that destroyed many of the senbon before sending the rest of them off course. He shot forwards, a golden outline around him before he swiped the air. "Dark Ericture: Pain!"

The runes shot forth, becoming purple beams that zeroed-in on Sasuke. However, a purple, spectral rib cage surrounded Sasuke before an arm shot from it, punching the beams and forcing them to dissipate. The rib cage vanished before Sasuke shot forth, raising along the ground, leaving a thin trail of dust in his wake. The two clashed right next to a giant tree, one that was destroyed by the shockwave they created when their weapons met. Sasuke frowned as he noticed the tree fall towards them, before he pulled back. He then swung his blade upwards as Naruto swung his blade downwards, although he lay a hand flat against it.

"Sky God's Blade!" he roared, creating a blade of wind that surrounded his kunai. Sasuke was quick to respond however, coating his blade in black lightning. The two met as the carved the tree in half, resulting in an explosion of electricity and wind. However, Sasuke quickly overpowered Naruto, sending him flying high into the air. Naruto groaned, flipping in midair and slamming his hand onto the air. Black trails of wind flowed from his hands as he used them to slow his ascension. Just as he stopped moving he glanced up, to see Sasuke above him with his blade raised, already bringing it down to strike. Naruto barely brought his wind blade up in time to block the strike, however the large diamond of electricity still exploded into existence, lightning up the sky, and forcing Naruto towards the ground. Naruto groaned, before he vanished. He appeared below Sasuke, a swirling ball of pure ethernano in his hands.

"Rasengan!" he roared, slamming the ball into Sasuke's chest, and resulting in the teen being sent flying, a spiral burn mark on his chest and he was sent spinning away. Naruto shot forth, sloping downwards as the cruel force of gravity grabbed hold of Sasuke.

Man was he happy he could fly.

Naruto raised his blade, a snarl on his face. "Dark Ericture: Slay!"

Naruto disappeared, reappearing above Sasuke and slashing at him with his blade. He disappeared before reappearing in front of where Sasuke would land, the ground exploding as did Sasuke. Naruto looked up to see a small form descending before a large dust cloud form as it hit the ground. Naruto glared at the dust cloud to see Sasuke glaring back at him.

The Uchiha was covered in scratches and his cloak was in tatters. Part of his left arm was burnt, but otherwise he didn't seem too bad, ignoring the burn mark on his chest. Naruto was not that good himself, his shirt no longer existing, and burn marks on him as well. However, going by injuries alone if anyone was winning this fight, it was Naruto.

'Kurama, you aren't healing me right,' Naruto asked. The fox shook his head. "This is purely between you two."

Naruto nodded. "Good." He said before flaring his power. Sasuke flared his in response. The fight was about to truly begin. A spectral form outlined Sasuke as Naruto was suddenly cloaked in black wind. The wind formed two large wings behind him that rivaled Sasuke's own Susanoo. The wind formed a small tail behind him.

"Sky God's Drive. This is the strongest form of Sky God Slayer Magic I have achieved Sasuke. Do you really think your Susanoo can bear its wrath!?" Naruto called.

Sasuke glared at Naruto with pity. Just like he had once done, he was allowing his anger to cloud his judgment. He would fix it. Sasuke's Susanoo was clad in armor akin to a samurai, wearing robes, thick boots and body armor on its shoulders and waist. It had a long tengu nose, two spikes over each eye, a slit stretching across its mouth and three gaps on each of its cheeks as well as one on its chin. Wings shot from its, making it capable of flight. It held two katana in its hands. Lastly, black flames licked its body, showing Sasuke was combining two of his most powerful abilities. Sasuke float in the center of the head of the being.

"True Susanoo!" Sasuke roared.

Naruto's eyes widened at the sight. It was impossible. For Sasuke to have combined two abilities like this, it should be impossible. Yet he had seen him to things more impressive. However he did notice both of Sasuke's eyes bleeding vastly. He frowned. He would have to end this quickly unless Sasuke truly wanted to lose his sight forever. Naruto flapped his wings, before golden markings sprung up over his body. He couldn't match that strength with his Drive alone. No. He'd need something more.

"Heavenly Body Magic: Supernova!"

A blinding flash shot forth, turning several trees in the surrounding area to ash, and even causing many of the mountains to lose their green look.

"Self-Unison Raid: Sky God's Supernova Drive!" Naruto roared as he glared at Sasuke. Now his black wings had golden stars that exploded and reformed almost instantly floating around them, and he was coated in a thin golden hue.

The two snarled before rocketing forwards, a large fist meeting a much smaller one. The desperate energy that resulted shot forth, resulting in all surrounding mountains in the area to vanish instantly in the power. The two were literally terraforming.

Sasuke smirked as he saw the black flames try and inch their way around the winds that were surrounding Naruto's fist. If they reached his skin this fight would be over. Naruto however had no intention of letting that happen and flew back, however Sasuke was not going to let him escape so easily and chased after him, forming an "X" with his blade. He smirked as he brought them both down.

"Sharingan: Amaterasu: X!"

The black flaming "X" zeroed in on Naruto who frowned. He sucked in air from the atmosphere before contorting it to how he wanted it.

"Sky God's Bellow!"

The unholy whirlwind of wind covered the sky above the city in the power surge, Naruto using up much of his power to try and inflict some damage. As the whirlwind cleared the "X" was nowhere to be found and small chunks of Susanoo's armor was missing, however it quickly grew back. Naruto's form dimmed before lightning up again, brighter than ever after eating a large amount of air. The two glared at each other furiously.

They then disappeared before several booms of the sound barrier being broken arouse throughout the surrounding area. As the two clashed at impossible speeds the ground was being transformed. It was a wonder no one had come to check out what was happening as of yet.

Naruto and Sasuke reappeared above the city of Crocus, both of them looking significantly more drained.

"Interesting. You can keep up with my speed," Naruto said.

"Lightning is faster than wind," Sasuke said.

"Not mine," Naruto said.

Naruto shot forth, a large wind shuriken forming in his hands. Sasuke shot forth as well, black lightning coating his spectral forms hand.

"Sky God's Drive Mode: Rasenshuriken!"

"Self-Unison Raid: Susanoodori!"

Two vortexes of wind, lightning, and flame shot outwards, creating a force that completely flattened the surrounding area. Whoever said when Wizard Saints fought the very Earth itself bowed before them was correct. The vortexes cancelled each other out briefly before a massive explosion occurred, sending both teens flying down into the arena being used for the tournament.

Naruto smirked as he stood, his drive mode no longer active. "A fitting conclusion area. Wouldn't you agree?" he asked, sweat pouring down his body. He was panting heavily and running exceedingly low on magic. Sasuke glared at Naruto, although he noticed his vision was exceedingly blurry, even worse than when he fought Danzo. He however knew he would need the Mangekyo to win this fight so he kept it active. Naruto put out his hand, wind gathering there. "I think we should conclude this little game now."

Sasuke nodded, also sticking his hand out, lightning gathering around it. Sasuke and Naruto then concentrated, a golden and purple hue surrounding Naruto while a red and white hue surrounded Sasuke. Naruto shot forth as did Sasuke, both of them putting their all into these final attacks.

"Self-Tri-Unison Raid: Slaying Astral Rasenshuriken!"

"Self-Tri-Unison Raid: Embodiment of Susanoo Chidori!"

The explosion that occurred the second the attacks made contact was legendary, sending both user flying through the air. The mountain and arena they were on blew apart as the two flew towards the ground, both landing on opposite edges of the lake that the mountain was on as rubble fell into the lake, causing massive splashes of water.

Naruto and Sasuke stood briefly before both fell to their knees and then their face. Both unconscious. That day went down in history with two names, the first, 'The Day Crocus Slept,' and 'The Day Titans Clashed.'

It was the moment that Sasuke and Naruto went unconscious that Crocus woke up.

Hey guys it's Kuma Akuma. I hope this chapter was well worth the wait. It was a week afterwards. For those who don't know I've forsaken my schedule, as it won't work with how I have to deal with school, so I'll just be updating when I can. It's more of a quality over quantity thing really. It will likely delay the conclusion of this story though. Also, this chapter included several spoilers, along with a massive, yet quick, fight. I can't imagine Sasuke and Naruto's fights being really long lasting now. They know so much about each other than basically everything other than destructive force and speed are cancelled out. Sasuke beats Naruto in destructive force, and Naruto beats Sasuke in speed. Now, for those wondering about Sasuke, no, NONE OF THE ENDING OF THIS CHAPTER WAS PLANNED SO I CAN'T REALLY ANSWER YOU. The end just wrote itself. I literally felt the two fighting. And I loved every second of it. Although Sasuke will go blind after this fight. For those of you about to get angry, I said he'd get the EMS so calm the hell down. I already have the plan set for that. Plus it allows for more character development on Sasuke, more than the one that Naruto will be getting. This chapter is actually the beginning of character development for a lot of people, namely: Natsu, Gray, Naruto, Sasuke, Mira, Elfman, Cana, Levy, and Lucy. And yes guys I made up Tempest, but honestly with the way the Magic Council runs things, can you blame me? There is no way I could have Sasuke and Naruto train them up to the level required for the final arc. No way in hell. Hence, I did this. It's the only way. Just know that Fairy Tail will not come out un-scarred from Tempest. People will die there. You have been warned. Likely main characters will. Or important side characters. The only ones safe are Naruto, Sasuke, and Natsu. Simply because in all honesty the plot revolves around those three and they are needed for the final arc for their battles. At least for the ending needed. Yes, plot armor, sorry guys. Everyone else, including Gray, Lucy, Erza, Mira, and Makarov, are fair game. Although I already know who is gonna die. That's basically it. See you guys later and avoid the Earl.
