Chapter 9: Confrontation!
Naruto smiled as he cast an eye over his Godfather's familiar form. Jiraiya was clad in his usual green short shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wore mesh armor that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit with his red haori. Unlike before, he wore no hand-guards, having replaced them with metal arm bracers. His missing appendage had been replaced, removing any evidence of the results of his battle with Nagato, and his hair even longer. Even without the Byakugan activated, Naruto could see that his mentor's body had become more toned and slightly leaner than when he was alive. "It's been a while, hasn't it Ero-Sennin?"
Jiraiya cracked a smile at the mention of his once hated nickname. "It certainly has, gaki. I almost figured you had forgotten about the rest of us in that pocket dimension of yours." His gaze slid over to Setsuna, who was resting on the wooden chair beside Naruto, and a dopey grin made its appearance on his face as hearts appeared in his eyes. "Whoa! Nice catch, Naruto! She's definitely a ten!" Steam erupted from his nostrils as he gave Naruto a double thumbs up.
Naruto smirked. "Oh yeah, she definitely is. Sorry for not introducing you two earlier, but I had my reasons." He made his way across the spacious living room and plodded on the chair opposite Setsuna with a sigh. "Take a seat, Ero-Sennin. There are some things we need to discuss immediately."
Jiraiya lost his goofball appearance at the serious tone of Naruto's voice and his eyes hardened while his stance straightened. There was a time for everything, and right now was the time for Konoha's Gama Sennin to come out. He sat on the third seat, which was on Naruto's left side, making sure to keep his body angled towards Setsuna in the situation that she attacked him. 'Most unlikely, but lesser things have killed many Shinobi and Kunoichi. Also,' He narrowed his eyes at her. 'She looks very much like that Uchiha…Sasuke.'
Naruto clasped his hands as he leaned forwards on his seat. "Jiraiya, meet Uchiha Setsuna. Setsuna-chan, this guy's the pervert I told you about." He introduced, wondering just how both would react to each other.
For his part, Jiraiya was silent as he stared at the girl in a new light. The only Uchiha survivors during the Clan Massacre were Itachi and Sasuke; Obito didn't really count since he was assumed to be K.I.A at the time. "An Uchiha, eh? I don't suppose you were in Konoha at the time of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, were you?" He asked, his eyes trailing over her form in search of clues of her parentage. Unfortunately for him, Setsuna still wore her usual cloak that hid her alluring figure.
She rolled her eyes. "Please stop looking at me. My mother and tenant would be…upset if any unworthy male ogled me." She crossed her arms under her breasts, though the action was hidden from Jiraiya because of her cloak. "To answer your question, I suppose you could say that I was in Konoha at the time of the Massacre…but you could also be right if you assume that I wasn't there. It all depends on which Konoha you are talking about." She answered coolly, her onyx-coloured eyes bleeding into the Sharingan with unerring ease.
By this time, Naruto leapt into the conversation. "What Setsuna-chan means is that she isn't from our world; she was sent across dimensions by her brother in a last-ditch attempt to evade her captors." He leaned back into his chair and crossed his legs. "From what she's told me, Jinchuuriki from all over the Elemental Continents were being rounded up and experimented on by Konoha. In her world, Konoha was known as the most bloodthirsty and battle-crazy Hidden Village; they even had their own mercenary group designed for the sole purpose of defeating and capturing Jinchuuriki: the criminal mercenary group, 'Daybreak'."
Had Jiraiya not explored the possibilities of Time-Space Fuinjutsu, he would have had a hard time believing Naruto's claims. "Wait, wait, wait." He pointed at Setsuna, slight disbelief colouring his words. "You're saying she's a Jinchuuriki?" At Naruto's silent nod, the Gama Sennin turned to face the Uchiha heiress. "If you don't mind me asking, which Bijuu do you hold?" He asked, having an inkling of which one she could contain.
Setsuna held up nine fingers and Jiraiya palmed his face, annoyed by himself. 'Well of course she would carry a powerful one; her allies went so far as to send her away through dimensions to prevent her capture.' Lifting his head, he leveled a gaze on his successor. "Alright, Naruto I think it's time you told me everything that's happened to you."
Naruto inclined his head. "I was just about to do so, Ero-Sennin. It all ties to the reason I summoned you in the first place." Moving into a more comfortable position, Naruto began to recount the events that had transpired since the last time he spoke with his godfather. He began from his meeting with Setsuna, trailed slightly over his exploits in the Elemental Nations, touched upon the topic of his new strength and finally concluded about his time in their home-world. "I left because of many reasons…reasons that I don't wish to discuss right now." He stated, his words firm and unyielding.
Jiraiya leaned back, a tired sigh seeping through his very being as he closed his eyes. "While all that is indeed interesting, you still haven't made it clear your purpose for summoning me." He prodded, trying not to think about some of the things Naruto said to him.
Naruto narrowed his eyes as Naraku's smirking visage floated in his mind, taunting him from wherever he was. "When we arrived in this new world, Setsuna-chan and I joined a Guild called Fairy Tail." Seeing Jiraiya's confusion, Naruto proceeded to explain what little he knew about Earthland to his former sensei. "In Earthland, Mages band together to form a 'Guild'; I suppose you could associate them with the Hidden Villages, with Mages being the equivalent of Shinobis. However, our world is much stronger than theirs."
"Why would that be? If they have similar yet different abilities from Shinobi, wouldn't that put them on some even playing field?" Jiraiya questioned, wondering why Naruto of all people would judge these Mages without getting a proper indication of their strength.
"Normally I'd say yes, but not this time. Guilds that partake in requests that are less honorable than people would like to have are labeled as 'Dark Guilds' because the Mages believe themselves to be those that protect the civilians. As such, they need to keep the image of themselves in a targeted light which will endear themselves to the public." Naruto snorted, recalling his bafflement when Makarov explained things to him back in the Master's office. "They don't fight with the intention to kill, and those that do lack the cunning and intelligence that distinguish Shinobi from everyone else. Scum that don't deserve to live are sent to prison cells instead, in the belief that they will learn from their mistakes and turn over a new leaf."
"As always, there are exceptions to this mentality. One of them was an assassin from a Dark Guild who appeared on my first job request." Setsuna's heap whipped towards him in surprise. He hadn't told her anything about that! "His name is Naraku, the so-called Daiyoukai of the Assassination Guild Death's Head Caucus. He's my reason for summoning you."
Jiraiya knew what he was expected to do. "You want me to spy on him, learn everything that there is to him and have him killed after extracting all useful information. Would you prefer to kill him yourself or should I handle it on my own?"
Naruto shrugged. "It matters not to me whether he dies by my hands or not. All I want you to do is find any information about him and an object he seeks. From what Jiji told me, an item like the Demon Lacrima would be extremely useful and dangerous in the wrong hands." He fixed his gaze upon Jiraiya once more. "Since this mission could probably take as long as three years, I'll lend you some of my Pseudo-Paths to help in achieving success."
Jiraiya nodded and stood up. "When do I begin?"
"Immediately. The spider must learn to never provoke an impatient God."
-The Next Morning-
Naruto and Setsuna walked towards the Guild slowly, taking their time to enjoy the silence of the early morning. The early beams of the rising sun indicated just how early it was; Magnolia seemed to be still asleep. Stores were unopened yet, only a handful of sleepy people were on the streets and the cheerful sounds of birds chirping echoed throughout the town.
Naruto glanced at Setsuna, who seemed to be lost in thought. "Setsuna-chan…"
She blinked, startled out of her thoughts. "Hai, Naruto-sama?"
"How did you spend the previous day? Did you go on a job request?" Getting somewhere to stay, talking to Jiraiya and the ever-present thoughts of the Demon Lacrima had completely pushed that question out of his mind until the moment.
She shook her head, her long hair whipping about. "No, I sought to familiarize myself with the other Guild members and gather information on their abilities." She paused, as though unsure of what she was about to say. "I made a new friend…well, I think I did. Her name is Cana Alberona, one of the eldest of our age group. She uses Card-Magic, a type of Holder Magic which revolves around the use of Magical cards, which can produce a variety of effects, such as generating things, and even seemingly living beings. She's quite nice and fun to talk to."
Naruto chuckled and draped his arm around her shoulders. "Well, I'm pretty sure that she'd be delighted to have you as a friend. I take it that Kurame approves?"
"Hai, Okaa-san sees potential in Cana to become someone great in the future." She leaned into his body, his arms drifting from her shoulders to her waist. "She also wants to come out and enjoy herself."
Naruto sweat-dropped. 'The last time she said that, Tetsu no Kuni got submerged in water…' He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Will she promise to behave?"
He felt Setsuna stiffen momentarily before wrapping her hand around his waist and nuzzle up to him with inhuman sensuality. "Mou,Naruto-kun…don't you trust me?" She turned to meet his eyes, her usual onyx-coloured eyes transformed into a bloody crimson with black slits. "After all, I'm not interested in causing any serious mischief." She batted her lengthened eyelashes and pressed her body closer to his.
Naruto used his unoccupied hand to run his fingers through her hair, earning a soft purr from the possessed Uchiha. "Your definition of the word 'mischief' involves leveling mountains and raising tsunamis. Besides, don't you think people in the Guild will wonder who you are and what you are to Setsuna if you treat her as your daughter in public?"
She smirked, drifting away from Naruto and flicking her hair. "Deception and lies are a part of me, just as the destructive tendencies Kaa-san passed unto my siblings and I. Just leave everything to me." She winked.
Naruto shrugged. "I doubt you would like to come out now; you enjoy your beauty sleep too much to be active so soon." They had reached the Guild and Naruto stepped forward to push the door open for Setsuna/Kurame.
She gave him another fanged grin before Setsuna's eyes returned to their normal colour, signifying that the Uchiha was in control once again. She sighed and rubbed her head. "Kaa-san can be so much like Matatabi-sama that it isn't funny."
Entering the Guild, Naruto could see only Makarov and a few of the older members out and about. Spying the young brunette Setsuna made friends with, Naruto drifted closer to her. As he neared her, he took in her attire: a light blue camouflage patterned bikini top, a pair of calf-length brown pants, with two bands hanging from each leg and a light belt covered in heart motifs loosely tied around the waist, and high-heeled sandals. She also had a pair of metal bracelets adorning her biceps, bearing an incision composed of many "A"s, and three simple, round metal bracelets on her right wrist. 'She's got an odd taste in clothing; most women prefer to expose enough to appear tantalizing to men, but she doesn't seem to care about that. Then again, I can't really talk about her taste in clothing; I mean, I used to wear that damn orange jumpsuit all the time.'
Shaking his head to dispel those thoughts, Naruto slid unto the seat next to the brunette and offered an eye-smile. "Good morning. I'm Uzumaki Naruto, Setsuna-chan's best friend. You must be Cana Alberona, correct?"
Cana was a slim girl of average height with long, wavy, flowing brown hair, almost reaching down to her waist, the shade of which varies from time to time. Two strands of hair framed her face and reached down below her shoulders, with the left one starting from a prominent, high fringe. She had large brown eyes, with long eyelashes. Her black Fairy Tail stamp is located on the lower left part of her abdomen, right above her hips. She blinked, surprised at his sudden appearance, before she extended her right hand.
"Oh, good morning to you as well! Sorry for not introducing myself to you earlier, I heard that you were busy and didn't want to be a bother." Naruto clasped her hand and Cana felt herself blush lightly at the strength of his grip. "I remember Setsuna-chan mentioning you in our talk yesterday. You know," She gave him a once over, her blush darkening slightly, "You're exactly as she described."
Naruto arched a brow. "Well, I've heard some things about you from her. From what she said, you seem like someone we can both depend on."
Cana waved her hand, trying to not show how affected she was by his words. "W-Well, as the oldest of our group, I have to do my best to look out for the others. I have to be there for all those younger, to give them someone they can come to for help, someone they can look up to."
Naruto nodded in agreement. "That sounds like a worthwhile goal. But, are you sure it's wise to do all that by yourself?"
Cana sighed as she slumped in her seat. "Who else is there? Master is too busy goofing off and running the Guild, Macao and Wakaba don't really care what the younger ones do so long as it doesn't get interfere with their drinking, Laxus is always away and the other kids don't really take my words seriously."
"What about Lisanna? She keeps Natsu and Gray in line." Naruto pointed out.
"She can only do so much in this Guild and asking her to help in achieving my target is something I just can't do." She blinked once again and whipped about to point at Naruto. "You're almost my age, aren't you? You could be my assistant and help me out!" She breathed excitedly.
Naruto tapped his chin in thought. "Well…I suppose I could help out whenever I can. I'm going to be pretty busy for the next month or so, so I doubt I'd be of much help." He mused.
Cana made to ask but clasped her mouth shut, trying not to come across as nosy. "Since you're curious. I'll tell you why I will be busy." He leaned in to whisper to her. "I'll be helping Elfman perfect his Take-Over Magic." 'That and some other things…' He added mentally.
Cana made an 'oh' and smiled. "It's great to see someone helping Elfman with that problem of his; it's been really eating at him for the past month." She perked up as Makarov finished placing the requests for the morning on the Request Board. Throughout their discussion, many more members had turned up at the Guild; Natsu and Happy were eating in one corner, Gray was eating a snow cone with Macao, Wakaba and Reedus were chatting and Erza was…heading their way?
"Seems Benihime-chan wants to cash in her fight right now." Naruto observed, eyeing the redhead as she approached with Setsuna in tow. He wondered if it would be best for the two to go on a job request and sort out their differences. 'Must keep that in mind for another time. This tension between Erza-san, Mira-chan and Setsuna-chan isn't going to just resolve itself, despite how much I wish it to.'
Everyone watched with interest as Erza stepped up to Naruto and planted her hands on her hips. "Good morning, Naruto-san. Are you ready for our scheduled spar?"
Naruto sighed. 'Trust her to get right to the heart of the matter.' He looked at her with his usual aloof expression. "Oh? And just how were you able to discover the fact that I had secured a place to stay for Setsuna-chan and I?"
Common sense dictated that Setsuna must have told her about his purchase, but that was kicked out of the window as she answered his question. "I asked around Magnolia for your whereabouts and one of your neighbors mentioned you renting one of the more luxurious apartments." She replied.
Naruto sweat-dropped. "Are you really that anxious to try and beat the crap outta me?" He deadpanned.
The doors slammed open and Mirajane launched herself towards Erza, her fists raised to fight. "Hold up, bitch! I'm fighting Naruto today, so pack your ginormous ass outta the way!"
As expected, Erza whipped her head and scowled at her rival. "I was first, so you go get in line. Haven't you learned any manners at all?"
"Why you-"
Naruto rose from his seat, cutting their stand-off from escalating any further. "Look, we could waste time arguing like this or you two could just fight me at the same time." He stretched himself, paying no mind to the incredulous gazes of the other members. "It's not like I care if there is an order; either situation is fine."
Natsu and Gray, both looking on in interest, dropped their jaws. Sure they loved a good fight as much as the next person, but taking on those two at the same time? That was just insane! Beside them, Lisanna looked on in worry for her recent friend. According to Mirajane, he had been in a tough fight on his first job request, which was just the previous day. Erza and her sister were also very strong, both of them capable of great things and competing for the title of Fairy Tail's Strongest Female Mage.
Lisanna really wanted to believe that Naruto would hold his own against the onslaught of the two Mages, but she feared that he would end up overexerting himself in the fight.
Mirajane grinned and punched the air. "Alright! I hope you like it rough, cause that's how I roll. I'll have you down in three minutes!"
Erza nodded, a smile lighting up her face. "While I would have preferred fighting you by myself, this course of action would better help in gauging your level of skill. Shall we meet at the venue of your fight with Natsu?"
Naruto nodded and turned to Setsuna and Cana, the latter watching in wonder. "Are you two coming? It'll be fun."
Cana seemed unsure and looked to Setsuna for help. The Uchiha shrugged and made to follow, prompting Cana to rise as well. After all, it wasn't like they had anything better to do at the moment; Setsuna and Naruto still had a lot of money left from Naruto's job request and Cana wanted to go on a job request later in the day.
What did they have to lose?
-Fairy Tail Grounds-
Naruto bounced on the balls of his feet almost lazily as he stared both females in their eyes. From what he had seen of Mirajane, she was a hand-to-hand specialist; her entire arsenal of spells, or the spells she had exhibited, complemented her various physical attacks. She was very fast, almost at the speed of Post-timeskip Lee, and her strength when she activated her Satan Soul rivaled that of Sakura's. Fighting with her would be fighting a war of attrition; her body wasn't matured enough to maintain the spell for long, drawn out fights. Overall, she wouldn't be a problem.
Erza, on the other hand, was a mystery. He had no idea of what magic she used and all that most people would tell him was that she was scary in battle. Sure, he was stronger than just about everyone in this world, but he had been raised as a shinobi and reincarnated as a shinobi. Why waste energy using flashy jutsu when he could just use the method that required an almost insignificant amount of chakra in comparison?
Anyways, Erza was a blank and the only way he would find out about her abilities would be in battle. Slamming his hand on the earth, a puff of smoke obstructed the view for a brief second before a gust of wind revealed Naruto wielding a sheathed sword. The sheathe was a simple white one, albeit with several rune lines running across its length. At the end was a purple thread that was tied in the shape of the letter 'Z'. The daitō was as long as his height, with its cross guard forming the shape of the Uzumaki Clan spiral.
Upon seeing the summoning, Erza felt her interest peak. 'A Requip? It looks very different from the ones I've witnessed…is it a special Requip? Or could it be Rune Magic?'
"Well then, shall we begin?" Naruto asked, unsheathing his blade. The blade glowed almost evilly in the sunlight.
Mirajane wasted no time. "Take Over: Satan Soul!" A large magic seal appeared over her and encased her in a cocoon of purple energy. In less than a minute, Mirajane appeared in all her Take-Over glory.
Erza began to glow brightly as a magic seal appeared around her. "Requip: Flight Armor!" In an instant, Erza's usual clothes disappeared, leaving behind an outfit that made Naruto raised a brow. This new armor featured very few armored parts. It was cheetah printed, and the outfit had a large collar around Erza's neck and a tail hanging from the back of her shorts, both made of bushy fur, plus a pair of large cheetah's ears adorning both sides of her head. She wielded a pair of short swords with elaborate hand-guards similar to a rapier's, shaped like rose's thorns.
Naruto didn't waste any time, taking their actions as the signal to begin. He dashed towards Erza with incredible speed, hoping to force her to reveal her magic and fighting style. As he neared the redhead, his eyes widened momentarily as he saw her move out of his path at his current speed. 'What?!'
Erza appeared behind him, ready to land her drop-kick when Naruto vanished from her sight. She froze in shock, allowing Naruto to land his bicycle kick in her mid-riff that sent her tumbling. Sensing Mirajane coming from behind, Naruto quickly lashed out with a roundhouse kick that Mirajane narrowly avoided. He dodged Erza's flying kick with a well-timed hop and parried her rapier using his blade.
Channeling wind chakra into the blade, Naruto shattered her swords with one slash. Throwing a punch, Naruto's fist was caught by Erza, who then tried to unbalance him by pulling him towards her. Rather than resist, as she thought he would, he let himself be pulled along and used the momentum to violently head-butt Erza.
Erza reeled from the blow, slightly disoriented by it. Naruto would have continued his onslaught but was forced to avoid the streams of dark energy that Mirajane kept firing at him. He continued avoiding the pellets of doom and reached into his clothing to activate the storage seal. When the kunai pouch appeared, Naruto grasped three with his unoccupied hand and coated them with fire chakra.
"Requip: Flame Empress Armor!" Erza was back in the fray, her costume changed once again. She now wore armor that was dark red predominantly, but also sported orange and black parts, with the first ones being shaped like flames and the second resembling dragon's limbs. It was basically made up of three different parts: the revealing breastplate with dragon like wings attached to it, the orange gauntlets and the dragon claw shaped greaves. Her hair was also tied into a pair of high, long pigtails.
Naruto flung the kunai towards her and seal-lessly activated one of his favorite jutsu. 'Kunai Kage Bunshin no jutsu.' Three kunai instantly became three hundred, forcing Erza to concentrate on blocking the swarm of blades.
Naruto turned his attention to Mirajane, who had dark purple energy coating her fists. "Just out of curiousity, what magic does Erza-san use?" He asked in a conversational tone as he sprinted towards Mirajane, his body leaning forwards such that he seemed likely to trip over his feet.
Mirajane stayed her ground as Naruto neared her, saying nothing in response to Naruto's question. When he reached striking distance of her, he tucked into a roll that bypassed her side kick and grabbed her tail. This action earned him an unexpected yet not unwelcome cross between a squeal and a moan. She turned to punch him, only to feel his left foot strike her face and sending her rolling away.
Naruto initiated a substitution jutsu with one of the kunai Erza had deflected and appeared right in front of the upcoming Mage. He stabbed at her, confident of his win, when her red blade met his in a shower of sparks that temporarily blinded her. Naruto pushed forward, proving that Erza's impressive strength was no match for his, and threw a jab that grazed her side.
Erza leaned backwards and kicked upwards, trying to catch him in the jaw. With unnatural speed, Naruto tilted his head to avoid the kick and dropped to the ground whilst simultaneously firing a straight kick to Erza's face that threw her on the floor once more.
"Evil Spark!" The sound of lightning prompted Naruto to coat his feet with wind chakra. Hearing Mirajane's footsteps, Naruto planted the blade in the earth and used it as a support to strike with a double kick to Mirajane's ribs that knocked the wind out of her. He followed up with a 'Katon: Goukayu no Jutsu' that scorched her body and pushed her back a fair distance.
'I should finish it about now…' Streaking towards the staggering Erza, Naruto sunk his knee in her stomach. The blow sent her down for the count, the strength behind it far greater than before. Turning to Mirajane, Naruto tossed the sword at her with unerring speed and accuracy; Mirajane barely saw the flash of light before she was pinned to the nearest tree by it.
"Game, set and match." Naruto said as he strolled over to her to Mirajane's bruised form. Stopping in front of her, Naruto smirked as he pulled the blade out. "I win…Mira-chan." He whispered the last part, sending minute shivers down her spine at his voice.
Everyone watching the match felt like fainting in a heap. Naruto had joined their Guild only yesterday, but had already beaten three rising stars in Fairy Tail? Such strength was mind-boggling for a 13 year old to possess. Natsu and Gray looked at Naruto in envy and admiration; they had wanted to beat both girls someday, and were understandably jealous that the new guy had done so. However, watching the two girls get their 'just desserts', was just as satisfying as the first option.
In his office, Makarov sighed as he watched the conclusion of the fight. 'Enjoy your peace while it lasts, Naruto.' He thought as he focused his eyes on the folder on his desk. The Magic Council had sent it to him whilst the fight was going on and Makarov knew that Naruto would be more than annoyed with what was written. 'I fear that the Council's attempts to coerce you into joining them will bring about disastrous effects.'
Unknown to all except Naruto, a small paper construct giggled to itself as it flew out of the Guild Hall.
A/N: I have no concept of 'restraint', do I? Saying that I'll stop and continue after my exams yet here I am with another chapter…someone slap me. I need it.
Anyways, I decided to introduce a concept that I think could be viable in canon Narutoverse: Pseudo Paths. It all has to do with those chakra rods that the bearer of the Rinnegan eventually obtains. I mean, if they are used to animate the dead to serve as Paths, why can't it be used on other corpses? Why stop at only five (six in Nagato's case)? Kishimoto hasn't exactly made it clear regarding that, so I decided to make it something that Rinnegan users simply choose not to do.
Laxus will debut in the next chapter; I'm still trying to decide the extent of his feelings towards Mirajane. Should he see her as something to love from a distance? Someone he would want to spend the rest of his life with? An obsession that only he deserves to have? I'm currently leaning towards the last one, but I'd appreciate the advice. To those that guessed that the girl Naruto and Laxus were talking about in the preview was Mirajane, you deserve a cookie. Go buy or make some for yourselves.
I also want it to be known that Naruto's Paths are not exactly like previous ones. Unlike Nagato's Paths and Obito's Paths, they aren't limited to just one ability. Given that they are the Paths of the Juubi, it's pretty safe to say that they are more powerful than previous incarnations. As such, I'm making it such that the Human Path excels at its primary skill but can also use the skills of the others. This goes for all of them. They specialize in their primary abilities but can adapt to any situation using the skills of the others.
People have requested me to remove Lucy from the harem…sorry, but that isn't gonna happen. I have something in mind for Lucy Heartfelia; speaking of Lucy, what should I do with her Edolas counterpart? I mean, I think it would be awesome if she 'crossed over' to Earthland and fell for Naruto…but the harem might get out of hand. Suggestions?
No omake or preview today. Maybe in the next chapter. Highschool DxD Season 2 will begin in July! Fans rejoice! More tits! More Rias and Akeno! Fuck Yeah!
Naruto doesn't seem Godlike AT THE MOMENT because he's been in Earthland for only two days, despite all that's happened. In the next chapter, which will feature a timeskip, you'll see the difference in his fighting style; right now, he's playing with his opponents but after the next chapter he'll be kicking ass with style. Erza and Mirajane aren't as strong as their future selves, so it doesn't seem much of a stretch to say that they would lose in a SPAR against Naruto.
