[The Wedding part-2]
"So, you are the one who killed butch?!"
Naruto froze with shocked eyes as he was stiffed in his place as the heavy invisible aura suddenly enveloped him as if holding him in place.
Naruto saw the figure before him looks like small kid with black eyes as dark as night, and his equally long hair was freely flowing behind him, with one side of his chin there was strange symbol, he was wearing black robes which covered him from head to toe but most notable part was his horn prodding from both of his shoulder and his demonic looking razor sharp teeth. Giving him an overall frightening appearance.
Naruto tried to utter a word but felt his throat clamped up, he couldn't speak for some reason!
Naruto saw a hand reaching out for his face, it felt like everything was becoming numb, like every happy memory was disappearing from his mind, replaced with dread and death, like t-here will be no happiness in his life ever again. "I don't like to be kept waiting!" His hand stopped a short distance away from Naruto's face.
Grab
Gildarts grabbed his hand a few inches away from reaching Naruto's face. He gave him a small smile to the man "Look Buddy I don't think you are needed here!"
"Gildarts clive! Ace of fairy tail!" The guy simply glanced his way once and acknowledged his presence.
"You know me? Well that makes things easier! How about we talk about what you have to say in some bar? What do you say?" He hmm at him.
"Let go of my hand" He warned him, Gildarts was still holding his hand, he noticed the grip of the crash magic mage was quite strong.
Mina behind Naruto was trembling in her place, she felt it too, the ominous pressure around the room, this is the first time in her life she had felt anything like that, her stomach crunched and twisted inside, it was nerve-breaking for her and her mind was beginning to go blank.
"Don't worry! We are here Mina!" Macao placed his hand in Trembling Redhead. In truth he was feeling dreadful anxiety as well but he had to be strong in front of the poor kid who was about to pass out from fear.
Who is this guy? And why is he here? And what does he want with Naruto? This question was beginning to form on his and Gildarts mind. This guy in front of them was giving really dangerous and horrible vibes just by standing in the same room as him. Whoever he is, they both came to the same conclusion: he's bad news.
"I'm sorry but it feels like you have some malicious intent towards my companions so I can't let you go free!" Gildarts was still smiling but it wasn't reaching his eyes.
Without saying another word the guy in front of him brings out his other hand to strike gildarts away from him with his fist covered in green magic.
Acting on instinct Gildarts brought up his other arm to crush his magic before it could reach him with his crush magic.
As Gildarts crushed his magic, the man in front of him covered his other hand in green magic and twisted his body to release his left hand free of Gildarts grip and landed on ground.
He rubbed where Gildarts was holding his hand a moment ago, he saw his hand was broken where he had touched it, had he taken second he would have lost his entire arm to Gildarts "You are really strong!" he compliment Gildarts.
"Thanks but you are plenty strong yourself! My left land isn't responding at all" Gildarts return his praise, he was trying to crush his hand but by coating his hand in green magic the man in front of them nullified his own crush magic with whatever he is using and at the same time somehow he managed to numb his left hand
A hand for a hand it seems!
"What's your name?" Gladarts asked him, smiling ever so slightly.
"You are strong so I will tell you before killing you!" The man in front of them spoke with such confidence about killing Gildarts that it kind of unnerved Naruto and others "I'm Abaddon, One of the strongest demons of Zeref's book and Master of Hades Lair."
Naruto's eyes widened in shock to hear what he just heard along with Macao, Hades Lair Master is here then that means he is here for Mina! Not him.
"Naruto take Mina and get out of here! You too Macao, get out of here" Gildarts ordered them without breaking eye contact with Abaddon, unlike most of the people in the guild he was aware of Hades Lair business with Mina.
"But what-what about you?" Naruto wanted to do just that but the demon in front of him was giving crazy vibes. For the first time in his life he was not sure if Gildarts could win or not.
"Don't worry I will be fine! I can take care of myself, but you have to warn Oldman about this!" Gildarts assured him.
"Let's go Naruto if we linger here it will only hinder Gildarts from going all out!" Macao was sure of the fact ace of Fairytail will win any fight.
Steeling his resolve Naruto nodded, bending slightly he picked up Mina who was still looking in shock at the ongoing event "Let's go Mina, we better get out of here!"
"W-What going on? O-Onii-chan?" Mina had a frightening expression on her face, it was the first time he had seen her making a face like that. It broke his heart to see her make that face.
"Nothing is going on Mina! We just had to go back to the wedding or we will be late!``He turned his head to show her reassuring smile on his face, Mina was still afraid but nodded nonetheless.
Naruto ran outside the shop with Mina on his back alongside Macao but stopped in his tracks just as he ran outside the door.
"Naruto? Why did you stop?!" Gildarts, who saw him stopping in front of the door, asked.
"He can't go outside as long as there is a barrier etched around us!" A new voice spoke. Everyone around except for Abaddon turned their head to see who was talking, the owner of the voice emerged from inside where the shop clerk disappeared to get their requested photo.
"S-Suijin?!" Naruto exclaimed with shock at seeing the red head he fought 2 year ago, he was calmly walking and holding a photo frame on his hand "What are you doing here?" his shock quickly changed into anger. He gripped Mina a little tightly around him as to protect her at the moment noticed He still couldn't forgive him for all the horrible things he had done.
"She's beautiful isn't she?" He ignored Naruto's question and showed him the photo of his mother he was holding in his hand "Looks like Kushina grew up just fine! You know I was closest to her when she was little, she used to pull some hilarious pranks just to get my attention and when I would get mad at her she would just show me her megawatt smile and would laugh at my face" he smiled at picture of Kushina in his hand as he fondly gaze at her before it quickly turn into frown as he faced towards Naruto "so imagine my surprise when I found out you're her son!"
"Where is the shopkeeper?" Naruto narrowed his eyes dangerously as he saw him with the picture of his mother.
"Do I really need to answer that!?"
It didn't need to be said, but what he meant is the clerk guy is dead!
"So you are the big douc bag brother of that Lovely lady I had heard so much about?" Gildarts slightly shifted his attention to Redhead but he was still standing by without letting his guard down.
"I'm honored that a mage of your caliber knows me!" They couldn't tell if there was sarcasm in Suijin's tone or not.
"Please anyone can tell who you are! Ex-wizard saint, a piece of shit who targets kids weaker than himself, add shitty brother and son and most importantly, a shittest father in the list of your accomplishments! Your reputation does you wonders" Gildarts counters back. He had heard about his relationship with the Uzumaki family and his past exploits by Master and Atsushi.
"So my father only told you of my good deeds then!" Instead of rising to provocation he chuckled.
"There is still time, if you surrender we can still talk this out!" Gildarts give them one last time.
"While the offer is tempting, I'm afraid I have to decline. You see, I came here to take away my daughter with me!" His gaze shifted towards Mina who was watching their confrontation with fearful gaze, seeing his daughter his gaze soften "It's been 6 years since I last saw you, you have grown up well Mina." he smiled towards Mina.
"W-what?" Mina asked as Suijin's attention shifted towards her "W-Who are you?" She asked fearfully. The pressure in the room was nerve-wracking.
"You don't have to be afraid of me Mira, I'm you fa-"
"Don't listen to him Mina! You will be safe with me" Naruto cut him off, this is the worst time and place for Mina to know about her biological father, everyone in the Uzumaki family has decided that they will tell her when she's older and is capable of rational thinking of her own.
"Stay out of our business Naruto!" with scowl Suijin's line of sight shifted towards him.
"Naruto? Not half-blood?" Naruto asked amusingly at the change of his tone from last time.
"That was before I knew about Kushina! Anyway I think we have wasted enough time I can catch up to Mina later after all this farce is over with"
But the tension in room suddenly increased as Abaddon, Gildarts and Suijin released their Aura all at once as the room exploded with the sudden load of pressure between them, Naruto wrapped his body around Mina to protect her and formed a barrier with his chain to protect themselves from the overpowered aura, Macao fell down on his knees gasping for air with sweat dripping down his forehead, it seems that much magical pressure was too much for even an experience mage like him.
"Gildarts buy me some time, I will undo the seal" Naruto shouted through the overbearing aura, he saw Gildarts give him thumbs up, nodding his head he pulled up his sleeves and summoned a scroll and ink brush from his wrist.
Wearing a wristband came in handy afterall.
Suddenly the demon in front of gildarts jerked his hand and a green flame shot out of his palm towards Gildarts.
Hell fire curse: consume
Bringing his right hand in front of him he cancelled his magic. It broke in little cubical pieces.
Crash magic
By doing so Gildarts was left open when Suijin came towards him with a globe of water dancing around his hand which suddenly changed into a spike to impale him from all sides. Gildarts brought his left hand to cancel his attack but was surprised when instead of cancelling his attack the water spike pierced his left hand.
"Gildarts!" Macao yelled in panic as he saw his hands were impaled by a water spike.
Without giving him chance to recover Suijin and Abaddon tag teamed Gildarts, as Suijin brought his chain towards Gildarts who jumped over the chain and spin around to block the strike from Abaddon towards his head, deflecting his attack Gildarts grabbed his legs and slammed him towards the ground. Destroying the building in process.
Water style: Jet stream
Suijin created a thin jet of water and sent it towards Gildarts to slice him.
Gildarts landed on the ground and blocked the incoming jet of water coming his way by cancelling it with his right hand and slammed his foot on the ground to form a crate towards Suijin who barely managed to escape from falling into the crate.
"Gildarts are you alright?" Macao asked with worry as he saw his hands were impaled by a water spear.
"Ahh sorry I forget that guy had somehow numbed my left hand earlier, I can't feel it for some reason, it was instinct to bring my left hand up like that" Gildarts rubbed back of his head in embarrassed chuckle for making them worrying like that "Don't worry it won't happen again"
As soon as he said those words both Suijin and Abaddon again ran off towards him with the intent to engage him.
"Macao please take Mina with you" Naruto turned towards Macao as he handed Mina to him. While he knew Gildarts was handling himself just fine right now but he can tell that he will be soon overwhelmed by Both the members of Hades Lair if it continued any longer, he was going to need his help.
"O-Onii-chan?" Mina was scared from separating from him, as she always feels most safe beside her big brother.
"Don't worry Mina, Macao will take care of you for now, I will come for you after beating up these jerks alright?" Naruto gave her reassuring smile who hesitatingly nodded back and jumped towards Macao back.
No way in hell he would run away from a fight which might hurt someone dear to him. He had to make sure this conflict ended without causing any hassle to the wedding.
But they really choose the worst day to attack though!
"I will undo the barrier seal so take her and go" Giving him a nod Macao picked her up and got ready to rush off at a moment 's notice.
He inspected the seal formed by Suijin after going over it he nodded to himself and sat down with his scroll and ink brush beside him "It will take a minute!" It was a barrier formed with 5 intersection to act as a support pillar for the seal which was charged by a chakra point in the form of kanji paper left by Suijin.
Macao watched with fascination as the blonde sat down and furiously started to scribble some foreign words on scroll, while he was writing really fast Naruto had a calm expression on his face as if he was confident that he won't be disturbed by anyone while doing so.
After some second he stopped and inspected the seal on scroll to see any kind of mistake, after finding none he quickly placed it in front of the barrier and made some hand signs.
"Reverse sealing: Entrapment barrier"
Just as he said those words the barrier in front of them flickered for a moment and foreign letters written on the barrier were sucked in by the sealing scroll.
Suijin tried to attack him as he was undoing the barrier when Gildarts intercepted him but had to take a green flame blast on his back courtesy of Demon.
"Now go and warn Jii-chan about this!" Naruto turned towards Macao to give him a signal to get going. He saw Gildarts having trouble keeping up with them both on his own.
"Are you sure you want to stay and fight?" Macao asked worriedly, he knew Blonde was stronger than most in the guild, but Macao wasn't sure if he could beat monsters like these people who can go toe to toe with Gildarts.
"Yeah! Gildarts alone can't handle them both by himself beside I still have to pay back Suijin bastard for all he had done" he wasn't talking about his encounter with him 2 years ago, he meant about hurting his family members with his action.
Quake Magic: Tremor
Suijin leaped over the building while Gildarts was busy handling Demon when Suijin glowing hands hit him in the back which Gildarts barely managed to avoid with minimum damage as possible.
The ground where he stood was cracked from the impact of the attack, Quickly bringing summoning his chains from his back Naruto created another barrier to protect themselves from attack.
"I have to go and help him, you guys go now" Naruto slightly opened up his barrier from one side to let them escape.
"O-Onii-chan, you gonna come back, right?" Mina was watching him worryingly.
She might be naïve but she wasn't a fool, she knew they were bad people who had come to do some bad stuff.
"Mina? Are you doubting me?" Naruto smiled at her "You know I never go back on words right? I will definitely come back to you"
"Oi, Oi! don't say things like that, the character says that always ended up getting killed for protagonist character development in the story" That would make Mina the protagonist of this story.
"What are you talking about? I'm the protagonist here, no one can kill me in this story!" Naruto answered amusedly as he hurriedly pushed them out of the danger zone.
"Onii-chan, that's totally a death flag. Please don't say things like that!" Apparently Mina didn't find it amusing, she was on the verge of crying. It was her first time experiencing this kind of situation.
"I said it already, don't worry about me, your big brother is strong. Now go!" He nods to Macao who nods and takes off along with Mina.
"Shadow clone jutsu!"
He created 50 copies of himself, who without a word dispersed on their own without a word said, they all know the command already.
'Get everyone to evacuate the area because things might get ugly from here on out.'
His smile which was reserved for Mina faded into serious frown as he turned around to face them with a serious look on his face.
Hellfire curse: Flame bomb!
He saw Gildarts block kicked to his chin by Suijin, he retaliated by his own kick to the redhead who jumped back and Gildarts brought out his right arm to crash the large compressed form of Green flame and sliced it into tiny pieces.
"You guys should try harder if you want to beat me!" Gildarts gave them a challenging stare.
"Do you think you deflected that? Look again" Just as Demon said those words the tiny pieces of green flames again merged together and attacked his unprotected back.
But before it could reach him it was sucked inside a small shuriken, just as it sucked the flames, it cracked from the pressure of containing a huge magical attack.
"Wind style: Palm thrust!"
Naruto brought out his and sent a thrust of air towards the cracked Shuriken which propelled towards Suijin and demon, but the shuriken broke in midair before it could reach them and the absorbed attack was set free in the middle of them.
BOOM
The nearby building inside the barrier exploded from the impact. It was a good thing that the shop was located on the outer side of town or lots of people would have been caught up in that blast.
"Good Job on getting them out of here, but do you seriously want to fight there guys? They are just as strong as me" Gildarts stood beside him to catch his breath from their non-stop attack of Hades Lair members. The word 'Just as strong as me' had very heavy weight in it because everyone in the guild knows that Gildarts is strongest in the guild not counting the master.
"Don't take me lightly Rugged bastard" Naruto didn't break his line of sight from his enemies as he said it.
"Your Fuinjutsu level has increased? Well looks like you have improved from our last encounter, now you can use chains as well" Suijin was honestly impressed with his progress "That was a modified version of reverse 4 symbol seal wasn't it? That's indigenous idea. I'm honestly impressed!" He looked at the broken fragments of Shuriken which remained after the blast with fascinated contemplation.
"I don't need you praise!" Naruto glared towards him, the fact he could tell about his shuriken working process seal after seeing it just once is a really impressive thing in itself.
"Uzumaki Naruto? You were the one who killed Butch!" Abaddon spoke with the same icy chill on his voice.
The fact their target escaped from their clutches was having no effect on them was troubling Gildarts. Why aren't they trying to pursue them?
"So you came for revenge?" He tensed up at the subject, he didn't intentionally want to kill him, he had never actually killed anyone in his life before that incident.
"No I was just curious about you! Who dies and who lives is of no concern of mine as long as I win in the end!" The guy said in the same monotone voice.
Naruto's visage darkened in the nonchalantly way he brushed off the topic of his comrade death "I really hate guys like you!"
"You're not gonna change your mind about fighting these guys?" Gildarts asked him one more time.
"Yeah that's right! I won't run away" He was determined to fight them.
"Alright then, here's one piece of advice don't let that guy's green magic touch you, I don't know what kind of magic he's using but it sucks out any kind of response wherever place he touches" Gildarts pointed towards the Abaddon, who was still staring at them. He still can't feel his left hand for some reason no matter how much he tries to use his magic from the arm it just won't respond!
"Got it!" Naruto Quickly formed a hand sign to release the gravity seal from his body
"Kai!"
Without saying a word Naruto shot towards Suijin at incredible speed, whose eyes widened in momentarily surprise he quickly brought him in front of his face to catch the kick that was aimed at his face. Twisting his body, Naruto slightly bent to avoid the elbow to his head and kicked his abdomen with his other legs.
Suijin showed a momentarily surprised face as he managed to get inside his guard, he grabbed Naruto outstretched legs to slam him into floor when he was hit by sudden gust of wind shot by Naruto's other leg
His kick sent him flying back a few feet. His grip on the blonde's leg was released.
Seeing he was defenseless for a moment the demon beside them jumped towards Naruto with green flames around his hands.
"You got guts showing me you back like this!" Gildarts rush towards Demon with powerful kick that connected with his back and send Demon skidding back until he hit the wall with boom and shattered on impact
BOOM
Buildings around them shattered from the impact that was created by Gildarts kick.
The part of town where they were fighting was totally destroyed, a bunch of houses near them were shattered from their attacks.
Naruto stood up and breathed sighs of relief, thankfully his clones managed to get everyone out of there safely so they wouldn't be harmed.
"You're using gravity seals, aren't you? That would explain your sudden increase in speed" Suijin looked at his abdomen where the kick hit him, it wasn't that hard of a hit but he can't let him come inside his guard like that again.
The building beside him rumbled and Demon emerged from the destroyed building, his hands were limping beside him and his clothes were slightly tattered, with some bruise on his body, other than that he was fine.
"Suijin I think it's gone long enough" Demon looked at them with contempt, his hands were covered in deep green colored flames which began to ooze-off as a big magic circle formed in front of him.
The air around him starts to get hotter and hotter by seconds, the ground around him shakes as the big ball of green flame forms in front of them.
"We are seriously doing this? You know that it will only increase the time limit with this? Right?" Suijin looked at his surprised face, seeing no reaction coming from Demon he chuckled as he summoned a spherical ball from his scroll "But then again it will waste more time fighting them!"
Naruto seeing the big ball green flames formed on demons hand tensed up and quickly start of gather lighting in his hands, which began to take corporal form of fox and chased after demon to electrocute him before he could complete his attack
"Lightning style: Corporal fox"
He saw his fox corporal form run towards him with incredible speed but was dispatched when a lightning fox met with a golden chain sprouting from Suijin's back.
The pieces of broken building and things around them were pulled towards the big ball of green sun. The area around them began to melt off from the heat radiating from the ball.
"That's way hotter than Natsu's flame" sweat ran down his forehead, their zone temperature was increasing really fast. Even his clothes began to melt from heat.
Naruto rushed towards them with incredible speed with his hands coated in wind chakra to deliver a powerful blow to Demon before he could charge his fireball any more than that, but was stopped when Gildarts suddenly ran up to him to stop him in his tracks as he grabbed his shoulder.
Naruto whipped his head towards Gildarts with narrowed eyes "What are you doin-" before he could finish he saw the blinding green light that surrounded the entire area.
"Hell fire curse: Devouring sun"
The big green ball of flame was suddenly upon them Naruto even with his speed was barely able to see as the attack came towards them with incredible speed.
Naruto closed his eyes shut as an unbelievable amount of heat washed over his body. His body felt like it would melt any second.
"Crash Magic!"
Before the attack could connect with them, Gildarts brought his remaining hand in front of him to cut his attack in tiny little cubes.
The attack broke into little pieces but instead of vanishing it exploded in small blasts over a wide span of area, covering the entire sky in green flame.
"BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM"
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM"
The very ground where they stood shook violently, land beneath was shaking like some sort of earthquake just occurred, some people fell down while somehow some were able to maintain their footing.
"Wh-what was that? What the heck just happened" Erza said with bewilderment as she planted her foot to not fall on the ground
"I don't know, it felt like an earthquake but I'm pretty sure it wasn't an earthquake!"
"Look!" Someone pointed towards the Magnolia town where a dust cloud of mushrooms rose high into the sky, soon enough they felt the air pressure coming their way from the blast.
"It's coming from Town"
"Something must have happened there!"
"SWOSH!"
The hot air created from the blast passed them by with a storm as their clothes and hair flipped freely from the after impact of attack.
"What could have caused that?" Makarov expanded his body and became bigger to get the better look at the situation.
"Who could be causing that if everyone from the guild is present here?" Natsu asked. Not like just anyone is capable enough to cause this much destruction.
"Naruto's not here!" Mira pointed out in concern.
"T-This is?" Makarov's eyes widened when he saw what he saw.
"What is it Makarov-san?" Atsushi asked with an uneasy voice, he suddenly had the ominous feeling about that explosion.
"We a-"
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Before he could finish what he was saying the boundary of the shrine was suddenly surrounded by the fierce chain of explosion, from all sides the outer side of the shine wall was blasted by the eruption of a blast of different spells.
"W-We are being attacked!" Makarove informed everyone as the some spell came his way that he flick it away from the wave of his.
They were surrounded by hundreds upon hundreds of mages from each side, who were constantly firing spells their way. They were lined up with their staff held towards the shrine as the magic circle formed at the end of their weapon towards them.
Everyone inside the shrine began to panic, before they could comprehend the dreadfulness of what is happening a line of consecutive blast hit them again, but this time the spell was cast to hurt everyone inside the shrine, soon enough the group of mage began to filter through the crumpled wall.
The priest and Shinto maiden shook in fear and went inside the shrine building to take shelter "W-What's going on? Why are we being attacked?" They trembled in horror as the mages in dark robes began to enter the building from all the sides.
"Look it's the fairies mages? What a coincidence meeting you here!" someone said from the group, when everyone began to charge their attack.
"Let's start purification with them" Another dark mage shouted with glee.
"After fairies it will be Magnolia's turn"
"That insignia!?" Cana eyes widened when her gaze fell on the strange tattoo on the hand of one of the mages "It's Hades Lair!" She shouted, getting everyone's attention.
Every fairytail mages expression changed from shock to understanding as everyone began to charge their own attack as a magic circle appeared around their hands to defend themselves and attack if needed to.
Without wasting time Atsushi brought out his chains to surround themselves from all the sides but was interrupted when another chain struck it away.
"Clang"
"T-That c-chain!? It cannot be!" Atsushi's eyes widened when he saw the owner of chain "S-Suijin?"
The crowd of dark Mages parted to let a man pass by them. It was a figure of man as he slowly came forward as light shone over his face, everyone took to his feature, he was 5'11 foot tall, wearing a black long jacket and black pants, with red haired braid in his head, and a lean face with fair skin.
"Long time no see Father!"
"F-Father? T-That Atsushi-ji-san's son? And he's from Hades Lair?" Gray looked at him with shock as does everyone who was informed of that fact even Laxus was looking at the scene in shock.
"S-Suijin? W-What are you doing here?" Atsushi was quivering at the sight of his son.
"I was hurt that I wasn't invited to my own sister's wedding! So I had to invite myself!" Suijin looked from his father to his sister who was looking at him with a shock, she couldn't utter a single word as no voice was coming out of her mouth "Hello Amano! Sorry for intruding! You look absolutely beautiful by the way!" he smiled at the shocked expression of his sister which quickly changed when his eye landed on "You! You still haven't given up I see!" he sneered at Seamus.
"Suijin what's the meaning of doing this?!" Seamus wasn't as much affected as Amano and Atsushi by his appearance.
"You still haven't figured it out!"
Seamus's eyes widened along with Atsushi "M-Mina!" both came to the same conclusion. Their body quivered in fear at the implication.
'Mina is with Naruto so she should be safe but if all the forces of Hades lair are attacking then that means that man….no demon is here as well and if he's here then Naruto…..He is in danger along with Mira!' Atsushi felt his breath become heavy, his heart rate was spiking at an alarming rate.
Before anyone could say anything a blast of fire hit the figure of Suijin.
"Roar of Fire dragon"
Natsu spit the large amount of fire towards Suijin "How do you like that?" he grinned when he saw his fire completely engulfed him.
While he was cheering, Laxus noticed Hades Lair's mages weren't panicking "Natsu stop it! Your attacks aren't having any effect. You are wasting your energy!"
And true to his word Suijin was standing there with unscratched with his hand extended with chain wrapped around himself to act as defense from fire attack
"That was pathetic. Was that your best?" Suijin raised his eyebrow in a mocking manner with a smile on his face.
"Not even close!" Natsu snarled and leaped for him with fire coated around his hand but was stopped by Makarov hand when a thin layer of water shot out where his head would have been had Makarov not saved him.
"Natsu don't get hot headed!" He barked towards the pink haired kid. He then turned towards the rest of his guild "Don't rush too recklessly! Everyone who's not s-class fall back and fight in groups and support each other!" He shouted towards his Guild members so that everyone could hear him.
Makarov didn't want to involve kids in this fight but in this instance it just can't be helped if things get this far.
In meantime every dark mage from Hades lair began charging their attack towards Fairies who mirrored their action and began to charge their own attack towards them in act of defense and offence at the same time.
Reqip: Krutz armor
Erza requip in her battle armor as the swords were dancing around her body and jumped towards the nearest group of mages with intent to strike them.
Take over: Lilith
Mira transformed into her strongest takeover as her appearance changed to a pretty Demon they fought a few days ago. Mirajane charged her own attack as a ball of energy danced in the palm of her hands.
Electricity began to dance around Laxus' body and his eyes began to glow from lighting. Ready for battle!
One by one every Fairytail member began to charge up their attacks and take their stance to fight off the big numbers of mages while those like priests and Maiden and kids began to run inside the shrine.
"Atsushi-Jii-san!" Lisanna shouted as she saw the older member of the Uzumaki family collapse unconscious while clutching his chest in pain "He's…he is hyperventilating!" youngest Strauss looked alarmed seeing his breath hitching.
Everyone around her looked at Atsushi in shock because of his sudden collapse.
"Lisanna! Take Atsushi-san inside the shrine" Makarov barked his order, nodding her head Lisanna transformed part of her body to that of a bird and carried him in her talon and flew towards the shrine without any word being said.
"You shouldn't have escaped from me father!" Suijin looked at Lisanna who was carrying his oldman and shot a lance of water that materialized out of thin air towards her but was interrupted when a big fist of Makarov blocked his attack.
"Don't you dare attack my childrens!" Makarov looked at him with a furious expression on his face.
He expanded his hand to crush the redhead who raised his hand high with white magic dancing around his hand to block Makarov when another blur came between them and pierced the Ex-Wizard saint.
Everyone looked shocked at the scene before them as Suijin was stabbed through his body with chains.
"I… should have sensed it sooner!" Amano Muttered to herself in dread as she pierced his body with her chains in her wedding dress, everyone looked shocked at the action of Bride to be especially Suijin "A-Amano?...I guess my work here is done!" Suijin frowned for a bit before he smiled and dissolved into puddle of water, indicating it was Water clone all along
Amano cut her wedding dress around her knees to access more fluid body movement. She glared towards the remaining mages of Hades Lair with fury in her eyes "Get out of my way!" She rushed towards them with chains dancing around her body.
She couldn't sense Naruto as he was still far away from the range of her sensing area meanwhile she could faintly sense Mina chakra, Mina emotions were showing she's anxious and her mind was filled with dread and terror about something.
No matter how much she tries to not think about it, her mind keeps going towards the worst possible outcome, something terrible must have happened to Naruto and Mina.
She jumped in the crowd of mages with members of fairytail attacking alongside her. she only had one though in her mind.
She had to get to them as soon as possible!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The very ground around them shook as the entire field was covered in explosion, engulfing Gildarts and Naruto along with Suijin and Abaddon themselves, the building around them shattered from the impact of attack creating a cloud of mushroom over their head, hot air current created from blast travel throughout the town and shook every building in Magnolia.
Entire area was covered in shattered and broken buildings, one half of the town was caught up in that blast, some buildings around them lay in ruins while some just simply melted from the overbearing heat.
Magnolia was covered in hot air after blast, as the mushroom cloud of hot air rose higher and higher until it covered the sky.
Everything around the area went dead silent.
*Crack
The side wall of the building rose from the ground, the remains of rubble that was on the wall fell with the rise of the wall.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Gildarts pushed the side wall of the building with his right hand under which he and Naruto were buried.
At the last minute, before Abaddon attacked, Gildarts made a hole in earth and deflected the attack with his crash magic.
He was panting lightly, he was sure if they came at him one on one he could take them on, so he was grateful to blonde Ninja for deciding to fight alongside him.
Gildarts clothes and body were sling with heat of attack, there was some bruise and scalping on his body due to burning of his skin, not counting his damaged left hand which is still unresponsive from whatever that Demon used on him, other than that he was good.
"I think I heard something crack" Naruto got up from a groan as he pulled his leg which was buried on the ground, it was bleeding slightly from the wound that he got from falling off buildings and he also had some burned skin on his body but it was still manageable. His clothes were ruined, he tore his Suit and tossed it aside for more mobility in his moves.
"Must be your imagination" Gildarts applied his magic to his right hand and crashed it into tiny little pieces which fell without harming anyone.
"O-Oh god!" Naruto looked horrified as he saw everything around them lay in ruin and some buildings melted off from the heat of the attack. He closed his eyes as a rush of memories hit him like a brick.
Most of the civilians were evacuated with the help of his clones but two of his clones dispelled before they could evacuate the citizens.
"Eyes ahead, stay sharp!" Gildarts addresses Naruto who was horrified from the state of town, it was fortunate that shop was located in the outskirts of Town, otherwise damage from that attack would have been much worse.
Gildarts narrowed his eyes as he looked around himself, Both members of Hades Guild were nowhere to be found. Everywhere his eyes could see was the ruin of melted rubble.
Gildarts eyes widen when suddenly Golden chains emerge from the ground like web towards him and Naruto to capture them in a cage, he brought his right hand forward to crash the chain.
Crash
Chains instead of cutting into tiny pieces and it bounced off them with loud clang. The area was reverberated from the clanging of chains.
Clang
Gildarts and Naruto immediately jumped from their spot as it was covered in bright light and the ground where they were previously standing on blasted away, Naruto slide on shattered floor when suddenly large glob of water came his way, he bring his hand in front of him in haste to create layer of condense wall made of air.
"Zephyr sheet"
Water hit air wall and splattered, Naruto looked around to see where attack came from, He saw the air in front of him formed crack as it travelled towards him with incredible velocity, he didn't have the time to act and was hit with attack on his head, he propel back from the force of attack as he righted himself in midair and quickly slide on ground to stop himself.
Just as he stopped, suddenly the ground around him shifted and swallowed him up inside it.
"Offh" He was swallowed inside the ground in the blink of an eye.
Suijin emerges from the ground beside where he buried Naruto to look where Gildarts and Abaddon were still ducking out, he channeled his chakra to gather moisture in the air to overwhelm Ace of Fairytail "….Now then he should be finishing up pretty soon as well"
[Meanwhile]
Gildarts was attacked by green flames just as he was separated from Naruto, in front of him Abaddon rose from ground with his hand around the globe ball made of transparent glass in his completely healed hand that Gildarts crushed just a moment ago, Gildarts dodged the attack and ran towards him with intent to finish him off as his hand was coated with his crash magic.
Abaddon jumped back to avoid hand to hand confrontation as he sent out waves of Green fire towards Gildarts who crashed each one before it could reach him.
Blazing flames of Demon didn't subdue a bit as he was nearing him, Getting inside his personal space he kicked towards his solar plexus, Hades lair master twist his body and duck to avoid the attack, placing one hand on ground he thrust his legs towards Fairytail mage's chin, followed up by kick to belly causing Gildarts to take few step back with grunt of pain. Abaddon did handstand to gain some distance between them, but Gildarts was not letting him go, he rushed to him and sucker punched Abaddon face in middle of his retreat, shadowed up with a haymaker to his head which caused him to propel flying towards the broken building.
BOOM
Again just like before he crashed into a building, which kicked up the rubble of the structure.
Gildarts made to follow him up but stopped when he felt the presence of blonde ninja suddenly disappear from the field.
Water style: water dragon
He didn't have the time to counter when Dragon made of water came to swallow him up, just as he was hit with a water dragon he crashed it with his magic, but still the impact from the attack sent him skidding down the road.
"Is it still not charged up?" Suijin asked as walked off from where Naruto was swallowed up inside the earth pit.
Building where the demon crashed into, bulked as everything around him melted from the heat of green flames "It's done charging!" Abaddon said as he emerged from the melted building, the globe made up of glass glowed white indicating the activation of an artifact.
Seeing the globe glowing Suijin jumped back to create as much distance away from him as possible.
Gildarts stood up from his position, He flexed his muscle and rushed forward towards the demon before he used the glowing globe.
"It's time to wrap this up" Abaddon said as he brought up the globe in front of him when, globe suddenly expanded, encasing him and everything around him upto 100 meters inside the globe including Gildarts.
Everything inside the globe was covered in blinding light, Gildarts stopped in his tracks as he brought up his hand to shield his face from blinding light.
"What the hell is this?" He tensed up all the while shielding his eyes from light. Ready to act at the moment notice, but nothing happened, His eyes widened when he realized that somehow couldn't channel his magic to the entire body to get out of the globe.
Gasp
Suddenly he fell on his knees as the light died down, grabbed his chest as it suddenly became painful for him to breathe "W-What d-did you do" he looked towards the demon who was looking at him impassively.
"This sphere sucks out the magic of everything present inside it, since I'm Demon, so it won't affect me!" he informed the downed mage.
Demons used something called curse which is different from Magic.
Gildarts gritted as he remembered, Master told him about the dark artifact that was stolen by Hades lair which can suck the magic from the entire continent if used with full potential, but it requires….."…H-How?"
Mina should be the key to activate it and she is on her way with Macao towards Master.
As if reading his mind he explained "It don't require key to activate it for such small scale area, only drawback is that it takes some time to activate it again, we wanted to use it on Fairytail's Wizard saint but you proved to be just as much annoyance, you should be proud of yourself" Abaddon walked towards him slowly as the expanded globe again become small, he extend his hand towards downed Gildarts as his hand was coated in green magic "I wanted to fight you fairly but i-"
Dhump
Ground where Naruto was buried inside exploded with bursts, rubble flying everywhere. As the large arrow made up of wind flew towards Abaddon and Suijin with great speed, it razed the ground with it's speed.
Abaddon jumped back to avoid getting hit by his wind arrow while Suijin summoned his chain in nick of time to protect himself from the attack.
Naruto jumped from the ground breathing pretty hard, he was about to pass out from lack of air when he was trapped inside earth, he took big gulp greedily, he rested his hand on his knees and looked towards them with serious face "T-That was close" He almost passed out inside the ground from lack of oxygen.
He looked from Abaddon to Suijin as they were looking towards him, when his eyes landed on the figure of an orange haired man, who was lying on ground clutching his chest "G-Gildarts?" He looked at the figure of Ace of fairytail with shock.
That just can't be right? He's the strongest member of Fairy tail! No matter how powerful an enemy is he always comes out on top. He just can't believe that the strongest member of Fairy tail would be lying on the ground in front of their enemy.
He was sure he was swallowed up inside Earth for about a minute or two. So what the hell happened in that time for one of the strongest people he knows to end up like this? Sweat drips down his heat. Entire area was so hot from Hades Lair's Master attack that it was kind of suffocating to breathe and it's heat was messing up his head making him weary really fast.
"What did you do to him?" Naruto glared towards them.
"I think you should get going, our forces won't be able to handle Makarov-san and his guild mates for much longer" Suijin ignored the question and addressed the master of Hades Lair.'
"It will only take a minute" Abaddon walked towards Naruto with his hands ablaze with Green magic with intent to take his life.
Naruto stood up and began to charge his lightning chakra in his hands to fight him, he channeled his lightning from the tenketsu point of his hand and released a stream of thunder.
Lightning style :Lightning stream
Before it could reach him however golden chains blocked his attack and absorbed it.
"Are you forgetting about the deal we made? If so, I will kill you right here, right now! You know I can do that" Suijin instead of looking at blonde turned towards Demon with icy cold eyes as his Golden chains surround him, as if daring him to take a step forward towards blonde as he made a certain hand seal.
"Deal only includes your family" Demon returns the equally icy stare.
"He is also part of the family even though I don't like it" He indicated towards the blonde who was watching their confrontation with confusion at the sudden turn of events.
Shaking his head Naruto silently made his way over to Gildarts who lay on the ground as if he was lifeless but he was still breathing that means he's still alive "Gildarts! Oi! Wake up! What happened to you?" He shook him a bit to get any kind of response from him but got none, frowning he made a clone to pick him and take him somewhere safe while the original remains in his place to fight those guys.
He knew that he got no chance to fight them both and come on top but he still at least got to try until Macao safely took back Mina towards Master and everyone, until then it's up to him to hold them off.
"He is the holder of that fox beast isn't he? He will prove to hindrance if left unchecked" Abaddon argued against Suijin who wasn't backing down.
"As long as I'm here you won't have to worry about Kyuubi, I beat him once I can do it again" Suijin told him with narrowed eyes as both of their Aura suddenly spiked to dominate over each other.
Demon subdues his aura and swiftly turns around to walk away "Do what you want, I'm going to capture the key" He quickly starts to run towards where Macao and Mina ran off to just a moment ago.
"Gladly" Suijin smiled as Abaddon went after Mina and Macao "Now then"
Water style: Water lance
Suijin summoned a water lance from thin air and sent it towards every area near him.
"Poof" X7
The clone of Naruto who had been hiding went off in a puff as everyone was impaled with water lance.
"You do know that I can sense all those clones lying around, don't you?"
"I won't let you get away" Naruto shouted as he run after Abaddon before he could run after Mina and Macao but was again stopped on his track when Barrier made up of chain formed in front of him "Get out of my way" Naruto turn towards Suijin with growl.
"Let's have some little chat"
" . . .Way!" Naruto with gritted teeth leaped at him without wasting time with full speed, he moved so fast it was hard to catch a glimpse of him but being the experience fighter, he was able to calmly read his move and evade a attack to his face as he brought his palm to redirect his attack and tried elbowed his gut but was stopped when blonde response in kind and blocked his elbow with his hand and sent a kick towards his face, Suijin tilt his head to let kick pass him by and thrust his hand on blonde stomach to make some distance between them.
Blonde was faster but he was more experienced.
"And I said let's chat a little bit, didn't i?" said Suijin as he used the moisture in the air to make a shield for himself from Blonde Wind arrows.
Water style: Water wall
Wind style: Air arrow
Both attacks collide and create mist of sort from the attack at the point of their interaction.
"We have nothing to talk about!" Naruto snarled towards the redhead who was blocking his path.
If he can't get past him soon enough, that Demon will get Mina.
"Oh sure we do! We have a lot to talk about, we wouldn't have to do this right now if you haven't broken your promise back then" Suijin said.
"I didn't broke any promises"
"You promised me you won't escape if I let your friend live, didn't you? And broke that promise by escaping with my father" Suijin looked towards him with cold look "If you hadn't done that we could this talk a long time ago"
"I never promised about not escaping, I told you I wouldn't resist whatever you plan to do with me and by the way I already know you used Kyuubi's chakra for your little evil science project didn't you? So I never broke any kind of promise to begin with"
Suijin paused to consider what he said before he chuckled at the mention of 'evil science project' "Hmm… Fair enough"
"This is the last warning to get out of my way!"
"Oh what you gonna do?" Suijin looked at him amusingly for threatening him "You might have improved a little bit but I'm still far stronger than you, I was a wizard saint you know!" he taunt him to bait him, blonde might be faster than him but he has more experience of fighting stronger and faster opponent.
And in most cases experience beats fast.
"That was your last warning!"
Not wanting to stretch their talk any longer than it has been Naruto run towards him with incredible speed with sonic blast, wind chakra covered up his legs and arms to work as extra power boast, he quickly shortened the distance between them and brought his wind covered hand towards redhead chest, Suijin eyes widen in surprise as blonde suddenly become even faster than before he quickly swat his hands away from his chest, blonde suddenly rotated his body to hook the feet of redhead in sweep, he stumbled from having his feet swept under him, but he swiftly tried to balanced himself only to receive kick to his face as blonde after sweeping his feet did a handstand with both hand to push the ground and swiftly lashed out to his face. Unbalanced plus strong kick to face cause a spurting grunt escape from his mouth.
Naruto didn't let up after his surprise attack on his body as he crossed his fingers
Multi Shadow clone justu
"U-"
Before Redhead's body could touch the ground another Naruto appeared from below and kicked him high into the air.
"ZU-"
2 clones appeared under him and kicked him high in the air.
"MA-
2 more clones appeared to kick him further into the air.
"KI"
4 clones formed under the flying figure of Redhead as everyone lashed out towards different parts of the body, one kneed his biceps, one punched his shoulder blade, one thrust his knee with his hand and last one punched his face and sent him even higher.
"Renden Barrage"
Abruptly the whole area was covered with clones of blonde, every clone in the area brought down their kicks and punches towards every single part of his body, it became a massacre! Every part of his body was assaulted with the punch and kicks of a blonde.
"Still not good enough!" Water style: Water whip
Suijin screamed as the moisture around them became water and coiled around his body like a cocoon which grew spikes like whip and stabbed every clone near him.
Water style: Wave splash
Suijin sucked out the air and spat a large wave of water from his mouth where the original blonde Uzumaki was standing a few feet's away.
Wind style: Breakthrough
Naruto wasn't slightly fazed as he dispelled his clone as if he was expecting him to be, sucking air he shot out a big globe of air in response to the wave of water, both collided and make a big splash forming a mini rainbow for a moment but the wave of water didn't stop, it quickly filled the entire area into a one big puddle, Naruto jumped over one of broken wall of building to avoid getting inside the puddle of water.
"Still think I'm same as before?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes.
"I was just surprised for a moment from your sudden increase in speed that's it! It won't happen again" Suijin frowned as he summoned golden chains from his back to protect him from sudden attack like last time.
Blonde frowned a little bit as he looked at the figure of the redhead, he hit him so many times but he only looked very little ruffed up.
Even Garra was mess with all his sand armor to protect him after this move but somehow Suijjin looked just fine, only slightly ruffed up with his attack. A bead of sweat ran down his forehead.
He remembered his last encounter with him Two years ago, Even with Kyubbi's chakra he was toying with him, even after he was smacked around for a bit he wasn't really injured just slightly ruffed up just like this time.
But it means he only has to try harder to defeat him.
Quake magic: Vibration
Suijin's hands were enveloped into white aura as it began to crack the air around him, when suddenly the crack ran upto Blonde with incredible speed, Naruto jumped up from the path of attack which was headed for him. White Magic hit the wall he was standing on and blasted it to tiny pieces.
Naruto descended towards the ground as he channeled his lightning nature chakra on his right arm as it coiled around his arm and aimed it towards a puddle of water where Suijin was standing on.
Lightening style: Murder wave
Lightning hit the puddle of water as the entire area was covered in flash of lightning dancing across the water except for the place where Suijin was standing with his golden chains all around him forming a barrier and absorbing the attack before it could harm him.
As the lightning around the water died down Suijin saw Naruto running towards him with wind chakra coated around his arms and feet.
"Come I will show you the difference between our strengths" Suijin taunted him.
Taking a counter stance he let him come towards him, this time he wasn't surprised with his speed, he calmly saw as the fist came towards his chest, which was fake attack in order to lure him to leaving his right side of his body exposed to the kick which came as disguise, but redhead was prepared for his attack as he first took one deft step back and coiled his armrest towards blonde kick and grabbed him, blonde was exposed defenseless to front attack as he charged up his arm with white magic and punch Naruto across chest.
Quake magic: Stomp
Just as his attack hit him, Naruto exploded in bang.
BOOM
It was an exploding clone of blonde which caused the big splash of water, Suijin was caught in a blast at point blank range.
Original blonde ninja emerges from the nearby rubble as he saw his clone explode upon getting in contact with Suijin's attack.
He used flash of lightning as cover and replace himself with exploding shadow clone,
Naruto looked towards the big splash of water where the blast occurred, as the water fell down towards the puddle Naruto saw where there should have been badly injured redhead. He didn't have the time to think where he went?
Water style: Water dragon jutsu
Naruto turned around with wide eyes to see a monstrous form of water dragon was heading towards him real fast, he didn't have the time to think or do anything before he was swallowed by a water dragon. He screamed silently inside the water dragon with bubbles forming due to screaming as the wind was knocked out of his chest. Dragon rises up in the air along blonde before it slammed into the ground with full force, causing Naruto to flinch in pain.
He coughed up the water that got inside his mouth, while he lay on the ground in pain, but he wasn't given time to recover from the pain as he saw Redhead rush towards him with his arms covered in white magic.
Quake magic: Tremor
Naruto hastily brought his arms which were coiled up with his golden chains up towards his face, to protect himself from the attack as his magic hit him with full force.
THUD, THUD, BOOM
Blonde body was sent flying from the force of attack as he propelled through several ruined building and ended up in the street as his lay there with his head bleeding from the attack, while his hands felt like it could be snapped at any movement, he grunted in pain as he tried to pull himself up with greeted teeth "Why my attack is not hurting him?" He was 100% sure that he caught him with his most destructive powered exploding clone, which didn't affect him at all and before that he was his punching bag for a minute but still there was no sign of bruise on his body, and he was sure that his punches anything to scoffed at either.
Naruto on instinct jerked his head towards the sky where he saw Redhead was flying towards him with his body clad in white magic and if crush him, Blonde rolled out of the floor where Suijin landed, the earth around him broke and uprooted from the force of explosion caused by his fall to the ground.
Suijin right after landing covered his hand in white magic and punched the ground to shake the earth and the unbalanced blonde who was getting away from him.
BOOM
As the result of the miniature earthquake blonde fell on his ass with a grunt of pain. Seeing the opportunity presented to him, Suijin dashed towards with arrogant grin on his face "Let's have some little nice chit chat when you wake up"
He clapped both hands as the snowy energy formed around his hands, it took the shape of a big ball as it covered his both arms "But first survive this!" he screamed as he drove his technique towards the blonde.
Quake Magic: Seismic upheaval
Fuin: Release
Before he could make a strike with the blonde boy laying on the floor, Suijin magic dispatched and his body became so heavy he fell to the ground as the ground formed the spider crack from the impact of his fall. Naruto held one hand Ram sign just seconds before Suijin's attack was about to hit him.
Suijin's face had the expression of anger and shock as black marking spread all over his body, he couldn't move an inch as he lay on the floor, he grunted and tried to speak as the seal burned to restraint him "…When?...Don't tell me…" His eyes widened as he remembered the brutal beat down blonde's clone was giving him just a moment ago.
'He must have placed those seal between that time period' he concluded in his mind
He felt three different seal burn on his body to restrain him, one was obviously gravity seals as his body weight felt like that of freaking train, second was be paralysis seal given as how he couldn't move his body even a little bit and last must by chakra restraint seal cause he couldn't channel his chakra at all.
*Huff *Huff
Naruto stood up with heavy breaths as he bent down to catch his breath, he continued to stare at the downed redhead, after getting his breath under control he walked towards him without saying anything.
He wanted to save those seals at the right time as a trump card but this was the perfect timing to use it.
Naruto walked towards him without saying anything, just staring at him unnervingly as a blue swirling ball of energy began to magnify around his palm with rotation inside rotation.
"What…? Not gonna brag? You just got lucky that's all!" Suijin looked at the blonde who was slowly walking towards him with a blue swirling ball of Chakra.
Naruto wanted to ask the bastard why he did what he did to his own family, his motive, what does know about going back to Elemental Nation or does he know anything about it? But he couldn't afford to waste time here with him, that demon must be about to catch up with Macao and Mina if he won't hurry and if he did catch up to them then ..." You really like to hear yourself talk don't you?" Naruto grabbed his hair as he leveled him to his eye level.
Oodama Rasengan
Naruto pulled him up from the ground and drove his favorite technique with a scream in the gut of Redhead Uzumaki, who screamed in pain as he was blasted away from the force of Rasengan and was propelled towards the outskirts of town.
"This should do" No matter how durable he is, he won't be standing up after that attack
Naruto saw as Redhead collided with his own barrier placed around them which was prevent him from escaping, he walked towards the barrier to see what kind of Fuin was used for barrier.
He looked at the letter scribbled at the barrier to read it and undo, he placed his hand above the Barrier as he summoned another set of scroll and ink from his remaining wrist band, his gaze intensified on the barrier to read it.
"….This….is going to be very hard" sweat dripped down his forehead, the Barrier Fuin in front of him was a mixture of complex matrix, it was a much more intricate version of the barrier he previously undo, as he read along the line of seal.
Holding the brush he started to scribble furiously in the scroll placed in front of him to draw the seal to reverse it.

[Makarov]
Older members of guild were engaged in fight along with their guild s-class mages
He sent out the children back inside the shrine, while other s-class mages were spread out each direction to take charge of that area with some experienced members of the guild who will act as their support.
He trusts in his children to take care of themselves but still he just wants them to be safe.
While he remains standing in the front of the main force to block their way and act as shield and spear at the same time.
He, in his giant form, was swapping his hands left and right to weed out mages as fast as possible while also expertly dodging the attacks that came his way.
Makarov could feel his enemy confused as to how can he dodge all of their attacks with a body this big? But that wasn't his concern right now.
His first priority was to make sure to keep his children's and guild mates safe, and because of that he couldn't help but feel a growing sense of anxiety that was forming in his gut.
If Hades lair is here then they are after Mina, but after his quick scanning and through the words of his kids he knew that Mina was with Naruto in town. Means Naruto would be targeted by Suijin who was just here just a moment ago and possibly master of Hades lair.
And that big attack just now? Was that the attack of Hades lair master or was it someone else? And if so, then what does that mean? Is Naruto and Mina safe or…
Makarov shakes his head in anxiety and anger, they won't do something like that to Mina whose key and Naruto would never leave her.
He can only hope that those two are safe.
He doesn't want to imagine it but if they did get Mina then that means that this attack on them is just to prevent them leaving and helping Mina and Naruto.
The only hope he can see in this chaos is that he can feel Gildarts magical presence with the redhead ex-wizard saint who was here just a moment ago.
Since Naruto and Mina don't have magic he couldn't sense them, no matter how much he tries.
"How is he able to do that?"
"Front is getting wiped out by him alone"
"He's just too strong"
"I will get him!"
"Old coat won't be able to dodge forever keeping attacking him"
Makarov's attention was shifted towards the crowd of mages who shouted towards him. With a flicker of his hand a magic circle formed on his hands.
Light magic: Rain of light
Makarov creates a magic seal in front of himself, from which multiple light blasts are generated and sent flying at his opponents.
Mass of mages cried out in pain as hit attacks hit him. His attack in giant form covered a large area, he saw some people tried to avoid it but it still got hit by it.
Makarov saw just as his attack died down, a large mass of mages formed again and began to attack him with their magical attacks.
Makarov gritted his teeth in anger, just as he took out a large number of mages another large mass of mages took their fallen comrade's places.
It's like there is just no end to these people.
"This is it for you Makarov-san"
Makarov saw a magic projectile coming towards him and with a flicker of other hand he swatted it away with ease.
"He flicker Alok-sama attack like it was nothing"
"We are fighting a losing battle!"
"Don't mind it, He's just one man!" shout began to echo around them
Makarov's attention wasn't focused on them though. The man in front of him stood out differently from the other dark mages, indicating he was their superior in a sense.
The man's body was concealed by the black coat, in which he bears a pattern of insignias that resembles a lunate, a collar circle around the back of neck in bowl-shaped fashion, encircling his neck.
His face was concealed by an ornate metallic mask that, around the mouth area, has engravings that resemble a beard and mustache. The mask possesses slits to allow respiration. And in his hands there was long staff
Makarov saw him raise his staff and aimed a focused projectile his way and without taking a step back he swat away every attack just like before.
"Are you the master of Hades Lair?" Makarov asked the man who had some degree of powerful presence befitting that of master but it was still not strong compared to Suijin, so Makarov was having some doubt.
At his question dark mages burst out laughing as if he said some kind of funny joke.
"Is he serious? That old rotten brains must have been rotten to core"
"Alok-sama is not the master of Hades lair, you idiot!"
Alok raised his hands to silence the horde of voices behind him "Makarov-san, I'm not the master of Hades lair but rest assured I can give you a fight worthy of master. So rejoice when ikusatsunagi shakes the earth and our purification plan starts"
Hearing him say that Makarov rushed towards him When Alok threw his staff on the ground and raised a magic barrier to protect himself, Makarov stopped in his tracks to see a glass like barrier in front of him.
Raising his hands he sent out a bunch of small projectiles in rapid speed towards the barrier formed in front of Makarov, but instead of hitting the barrier it phase though it.
Makarov's eyes widened when he saw the attack phrase through a barrier like that and shrink to his original size to avoid the attack.
"It's my magical barrier that can be used as a shield against the enemy and spear for my allies."
"It's useless, no one can break through his eminent magic walls!"
Makarov saw the mages behind Alok begin to send their own attacks against the barrier. But none of their attacks seems to hit the small man, who expertly began to manure in the air using his small body to make himself small, he easily avoided every blast coming his way.
And with a wave of his hands he sent out a batch of lightning over the barriers.
Seeing his amazing acrobats Hades Lair members began to look at him with some degree of fear and respect.
"How is he able to do that at his age?"
"It's impossible to beat him"
"Damn right! You made the biggest mistake of your life picking a fight with us" Makarov in a show of intimation looked at them with glare so hot lots of their mages lost footing under their legs.
With a yell he expanded his hand and hit the wall with enough force to shatter every barrier placed in front of him, one by one each barrier was destroyed in a matter of seconds and with his expanding hand he crushed the mask man in front with great force that created a web crack on the earth.
"This is as far as you go!" Makarov with yell moved his hands in swiping manner and with his outstretched hands he squash every mage beside him.
Seeing his power dark mages around him begin to flee from the scene leaving behind their superior and comrades, Makarov walked over to the defeated mages.
But he stopped in his walk with wide eyes as he suddenly felt Gildarts magic disappear from his sense 'W-What happened? D-did Gildarts lost?' Makarov felt his breath hitch for a second as the worst case scenario began to form on his head. One of their strongest mages magic just suddenly up and vanished like it was never there to begin with.
"What is your plan? Where is your master? Tell me right now before I change my mind to spare you!" Veins were popping in his head as his blood was pumping his head.
"Hehe you lose" squashed form of Alok said to him from ground with barely opened eyes "I burned away my own face for this day, that was the price-" Before he could continue his rant a big hand grabbed his head by hair and smashed it in the ground.
"I don't care about your face! Answer the damn question!" Makarov shouted at him in anger for starting his monologue.
Raising his head one more time from the ground Makarov asked again with barely restraint anger "I will ask again, tell me what is your plan or I will make sure you won't get up this time around"
Alok face mask broke off and he showed Makarov his faceless face and broken, bloodied grin with lots of missing teeth and begin to chant "O, covenantal god of ba-"
Slam
Makarov slammed his face down on ground, the ground around where he slammed him broke from the force of attack.
"Wrong answer!" Makarov stood over the unconscious and broken body of the faceless man, and turned towards the rest of mages with a light magic coursing through his body as his body began to expand to its full height!
He looked around to see Laxus or Amano, he had to send someone to check up on what happened in town. He spotted Amano cutting through hordes of mages to go towards town but she was having difficulty.
He raised his hand in front of him as a very big golden magic circle appeared in front of him and struck the mages in Amano and Seamus path creating a clear path for them to get through the masses.

Erza with huff send dozen of her sword fly towards oncoming group of mages, cutting them effectively and shutting them down on their path, she weaved through group of mages and slashed the one coming towards her with his magical staff, after cutting him down Erza took 2 skillful steps to avoid a lance coming towards her and let it pass by her as he hit the lancer with back of her sword to send him face faulting in ground really hard.
Erza expertly run through group of mages and slashed through them when she blocked a strike towards herself with her sword to see one of mages punched his sword with his bare hand and changing her footing she spin around him to let his attack pass by her and made to slice unprotected back when another sword blocked her attack.
"Not so fast Titania!" He smirked towards her as he channeled his magic in his sword causing it to glow purple.
"It's Jerome-sama!" Dark mages around her cried out in relief seeing one of their top brass saving them.
The person in question was unkempt, shoulder-length blonde haired guy, he was in different outfit than others dark mage indicating he was one of their superior mages, he was wearing a multi layered breastplate underneath long grey coat and black pants, he wields purple magical hazed sword.
"My dark sword is forged in forbidden black magic it corrodes anything it touches, a Swordsmen like you is no match for me" just as his sword made contact with Erza's sword her sword began to rot really fast, seeing the erosion of her sword Erza threw her sword and jumped to Requip midair to another armor
"Ataraxia Armor"
Erza armor changed to take the form of a beautiful, white revealing gown with hem sprouting from it and a red collar, being tied with a red and gold belt that resembles an obi. The upper half part of the dress includes red and white shoulder less sleeves and a rose decoration on the user's left hand, while the foot wearing are a pair of red and gold-knee-high boots, in addition to all this, the armor consist of sword being used for various purpose, albeit primarily as wings, adding to peculiarity.
Blade wings
Erza shouted the name of attack as her sword flew towards Jerome and his minions like missiles, Jerome deflected her attack and rotted the blade, while dozens of dark mages were hit by her heavy blades as they shouted in pain, taking them out in one go.
"You made the biggest mistake of your life by picking fight with fairy tail!" Erza yelled towards the group of cowering images with mad rage in her eyes,
Erza saw as the same blonde man from before came towards her with his dark sword, she blocked his attack as she sent out the wing blades of her, only to see it rot away in the blink of an eye "What a beautiful knight! It's a shame I have to kill you" Jerome looked at mad Erza with a smile as if admiring her rage face.
Jerome quickly shortened the distance between them, he again swung towards her with his dark sword, Erza quickly brought another pair of wings blade to block his attack only to see it rot away again.
Erza jumps back with her sword in her hands as she pointed towards him "Want to know what my sword can do?" She asked with a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"What is it?" Jerome asked with a challenging smile as if daring her.
"It cuts!" Erza gave him a chilling smile as she pointed her sword towards him.
Hearing her response Jerome burst out laughing "I'm disappointed all that suspension was for nothing" He mocked her but stopped when he saw Erza was smiling at him despite being mocked "What is it? Are you-" He asked her when his eyes widened as he saw two sword flying towards him with incredible speed.
He blocked and corroded the sword before it could cut him.
Taking his stance he ran towards Erza with his sword raised high, Using her legs a axis Erza let his sword pass by her and with her other hand she made to slash his stomach, but with his wittiness, the blonde swordsman used the guard of sword to block the slash.
Taking a step back he made slashed towards Redhead who had no choice but to block his attack with her sword, Jerome smile widen when he saw her blade began to corrodes "You're dead!" he applied some pressure and made to stab his sword through Titania chest but his eyes widen when he felt sword cuts all over his body.
He fell down on earth with multiple cuts on his body. Swords piece his body in different places as he looked to see swords were hovering over him in intimidating ways.
Erza used the sword on her hands to distract the sword she was controlling with her other sword that was not in his vision with the help of her telekinesis. And cut him when his guard was down the most.
"Jerome-sama!" Mages of Hades' lair shouted in concern as they looked at one of their fallen superior. They turned their heads towards the redhead women.
"You shitty women!"
"We will avenge Jerome-sama"
Erza turned her head towards the rest of the mage who were shouting at her and with one single glare she shut them up "You want to fight too?"
Mages looked at her fierce glare with fear before resolving themselves they prepared to attack her to avenge their superior.
"So…..you have chosen death! Admirable but foolish!" Erza changed into another pair of armor and took her position with a sword ready for her opponents "Come!"
[With Mira]
Mira was battling away any mage that came near her with punches and kicks, she kicked one of dark mages that came towards her who flew into another mage with a sword that sent them both away. She flapped her wings to fly away in sky, she flew past bunch of mages when she saw lots of magic blast coming towards her from every direction, she maneuver in air to dodge them and send ball of dark energy of her own towards expandable mages, she continued this for some minutes when she was hit by one of magical ball that hit her wings covered her body in blast as smoke covered her frame.
"Take that you stupid bitch!"
"That's one fairy down!"
"Let's get another"
Mage below her began to cheer as they saw that finally one of their attacks finally hit her after so many failed attempts.
But their cheer died down when the smoke cleared the fairytail member who should have been out cold from their attack was simply flying overhead and looking at them with a mocking smile.
"That tickles" She chuckled as she looked over her new form, she hasn't had the opportunity to use this form since she got it, so this will be perfect time to use it "I look forward to use you, my new collection" she said to herself, she didn't even feel that attack in this form "I like it!" she clenched her fist.
Mages below saw that she was unharmed even after that big blast hit her, there was not a single scratch on her body, her smile suddenly turn into predatory smile as she descend towards the group of dark mage and grabbed one of the by his head and dragged him with her through air and threw him towards another pair of mages. They collide and fall over each other.
Descending towards the ground she stomped on the ground near group of mages very hard creating a small web crack where she landed and unbalanced the occupants nearby who made to strike her when they balanced themselves, Mira whirring around with round house kick hit the mage who was near her, after which she grabbed one of the outstretching hand that made to hit and spun him around like a windmill to keep other mages away from other.
"This is payback for kidnapping me, you piece of shits!" Mira screamed in glee and threw away the guy she was swinging, in the sky.
Before Mira could take breath from fight yet another group of mages surround her with their magic circle in front of them, seeing this a magic circle formed on Mira's hands as it began to be consumed in fire "Come and get me bitches!" she motioned them to come towards her as fire began to rage around her hands.
Just as she said that she saw a bunch of tools flying towards her, she jumped over the attack to see a iron chain flying towards her head to hit, outstretching her burning arm she grabbed the chain, just as it touched her iron chain melts off in liquid.
"Tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea,tea" Suddenly hearing repeating chants Mira looked back to see a bald man in monk dress was chanting as tool around him were levitating, such as chains, handcuff, whips and other torture devices.
"You shall be punished" the monk looked at her as he sent out his tool to capture her, Mira gracefully avoided each of his attacks and gathered the fire around her body like a ring.
Tormenting flames
Mira whipped out fire in every direction, burning every tool along with Hades lair mages around her in process.
Tool melted from the heat and fell to the ground while some mages screamed as they tried to put out fire on their body,
Mira let out a ferocious grin on her face seeing the site in front of her, she didn't even realize it but she was feeling much more bloodthirsty in this form than her usual Satan soul. And the fact that they attacked her guild and endangered her siblings and friends was a major factor in making her feel this way.
But that wasn't all, she doesn't want to just blast them away with magic like she just did right now, somehow she really wanted to feel the satisfaction of smashing their bones with her bare hands.
She saw the bald monk grind his teeth, pointed his finger towards her with his monk necklace on hand "Curse you demon fairy, how dare you 'leaf' my soldiers like this! Prepare to suffer torture upon torture!" Equipment's used for torture, around him began to levitate.
"What's that you flabby shit face? I don't like that tone of your" Mira face twisted in anger as she dodged every equipment that was coming her way with grace, "Compare to Scarlet Bitch's yours attacks are joke" Mira said as she caught the last hammer that came her way and squish it into ball like she's squishing tomato.
"Silence your evil Demon" Monk screamed his lung out and throw his wooden torture device at her. It was a triangular board with a head of horse shaped wood glue at the end.
"Triangular Dummy Dragon!"
"…This thing is Dragon?" Mira scoffed and kicked the wooden dragon " Natsu going to piss himself hearing that" Her lips twitched upward imagining the scene.
Her kick destroyed the wooden board as its splinter flew everywhere when suddenly from behind she saw an iron coffin closed towards her whose insides were made of iron spike to kill whomever dared to get inside it..
"That was just a distraction for my special attack take this-"
"IRON MAIDEN
Just as Coffin made of iron captured her, the spike made out of iron broke as it tried to penetrate her skin with no success.
"W-what?" Monk looked at his broken coffin with shock at how easily it broke before it could penetrate her skin.
"That sting a little bit" Mira looked at her body in astonishment to see her skin was barely scratched from the spikes, before it spike before, bloodthirsty grin return on her face with full force "I really like this new form" She clenched her fist and she flew towards terrified monk, her fist dug into his skull, which send his flying in air like bullet as his broken nose and teeth fly away with him.
"Alright who's next?" Mira turned her attention towards the rest of the minions who looked ready to piss themselves at her sick grin on her face.
[With Laxus]
Laxus was zooming from one mage to another with incredible speed with his lightning playing around his body, he make a blast of thunder with his hand and throw them towards one group to another as he was passing them by, he lost count as to how many he had hit with his lightening already, He was cutting through the mages like angry lion between sheep's.
Laxus didn't even have to duck to avoid a sword coming at his face as the sword neared his face. It was caught in his lightning which electrocuted the owner of the sword as well.
He was quickly growing tired of all these low rated mages, what they lack in quality they made it up in quantity.
Anyway he only had one thing to do and that was to eliminate them all.
Laxus saw from the corner of his eyes a big man who was covered from head to toe in black armor running towards him, he was cutting through his own guild mates who were in his way.
Flicking his hand Laxus sent a bolt of lightning towards the giant man only to see his body did not stop the giant man.
"AAAHHHH" Storming through the crowd of his own guild mates, he sang his fist at Laxus' head who jumped back to avoid the blow.
"Don't run little man! Let me crush you!" With a crazed scream he rushed at Laxus to crush him.
Charging up his lightning attack, Laxus made a bunch of small balls of lightning and hurled it at the big man who swat away a few of his lightning bolts but the rest hit him dead on, creating a smoke from a blast that covered his whole body.
When the smoke cleared Laxus saw the big man was still standing but his armor was damaged a little bit.
"Call me little man one more time and I won't show you any mercy" Laxus warned the big man with a scowl on his face.
Seeing the scowl on Laxus face, the big man gave him a wild laugh and again rushed towards him as a stream began to come out of his body.
"What can you do?….little man~" He finished the sentence with hoping to bait him.
Instead of provoking to his bait, Laxus covered his whole body in lightning and with incredible speed that was almost impossible to follow strike the gut of the big man, who gagged at the punch he received in his stomach, Laxus followed up with a bolt of lightning to his face.
His face was fried from the lightning and he fell down.
Laxus scoffed at the fallen enemy.
"Don't bark if you don't have any bite on you"
XXXXXXXXXX
[Meanwhile with other members of guild]
"Why can't I fight in the front like Erza and Laxus? I want to beat up those jerks for messing with us!" Natsu snarled angrily as he avoided the punch of the dark mage and retaliated with his own but his punch was blocked by another mage who kicked him in the stomach.
Sliding back Natsu took a deep breath as the smoke formed on his mouth.
Fire dragon slayer: Roar of fire dragon!
He sent a stream of fire towards the mages in front of him, who responded with their own water attack.
Both of their attacks collided and formed a stream of hot air. Using the mist as cover, Natsu lit up his hands and punched the guy in front of him and gutted the other one with his kick. Both of them fell down unconscious with pained grunts.
"Got you!" A mage beside him raised his sword to cut Natsu, but before it could touch him I block of ice captured him.
Natsu looked towards the source of ice to see gray was coming towards him "Still think you can fight in front like that? You barely manage to beat these guys' ' He said to Natsu, seeing as he was barely able to beat bunch mages on his own.
"Shut up! I just want to pay those bastards for attacking us" Natsu angrily muttered to himself.
"We all want to! But we are just kids, we're not strong enough to fight so many of them" Gray yell with sweat going down his forehead, as he blocked another attack that came his way with block of ice, and made a hammer in front of a dark mage to knock him unconscious.
"Gray is right, let the s-class handle the front and we will support them from back" Cana slid towards them and her card drowned as two guys came towards her.
Card magic: Lightening card
Card landed in front of mages that were chasing after her, one managed to barely avoid the attack while another was hit by the lightning attack and fell on the ground with smoke coming out of his body.
The remaining one ran for her with a red magic circle around his hands but he was stopped as a big 'iron' written letter landed on his head knocking him out.
"Thanks Levi!" Cana called out to her gratefully.
"Don't worry about it!" Levi said and stood up with her back towards Cana.
Four of them hurdle together as dark mages begin to surround them one by one. S-class mages are making sure to hold off dark mages in front but some were still able to penetrate their defense to get inside the shrine.
"Where's Gildarts when you need him?" Cana muttered to herself in some frustration. If he was here most of them would have been already defeated and that would have lightened the burden on everyone a little bit.
"I don't think he will be able to come here," Levi said to Cana with some worry in her voice.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That blast just a moment ago, I think that is somehow related to Gildarts and whomever he is fighting against and by the scale of that attack I don't think they are any weaker than Gildarts" Levi told Cana the theory she came up with while taking Gildarts into account.
"And what makes you so sure of that?" Cana questioned.
"Think about it, only Gildarts, Macao, Wakabe and Naruto from the guild are not here, and enemy master won't use attack of that scale unless he's fighting someone really strong, plus did you hear Atsushi-jii-san thought they were after Mina for some reason, it only make sense for enemy master to go after her" Levi explained her theory.
"Shit!" Cana cursed and prepared herself to fight the mages that were coming towards them.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Dammit where'd she go?" Seamus cursed as he looked for his soon-to-be-wife.
He had fought a horde of dark mages on his own. He tried going after Amano the moment he saw her run off, but before he could go after her, he was ganged up by the masses of dark mages that quickly worked to attack him from all sides.
Hardening magic: Diamond
Seamus used his armor magic, just before a beam of light attacked him from all directions.
Booom
Attack hit him dead on, as large smoke erupted from the impact, but as the smoke settled, there stood Seamus with some crack on his diamond body.
Not wanting to give them a chance to attack, Seamus charged after mages with his bull like body.
Lowlifes of Hades lair began to fly off in direction as he roughly stormed them.
But no matter how much of them he stormed through, somehow more and more kept coming at him.
"I'm getting real tired of you guys!" With a yell Seamus banged the earth, and created a little earthquake.
He really wanted to go towards Amano, but right now he had to take care of these scoundrels.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Don't stand in my way!" Amano yells with anger with her hands placed on the ground.
Earth style: Damp mud!
Solid ground formed into mud and everyone in the proximate area instantly swallowed up inside the mud making a clear path ahead of her.
She summoned chains from her hands and began to run towards the back of enemy forces, she had to get away from here as soon as possible. She can feel Macao who was carrying Mina as it was coming closer towards her, the feeling that she was getting from Mina was getting worse.
And what's more she can also feel an ominous aura that was closing fast on her daughter, they won't outrun the ominous aura, even if they somehow manage that feat, it's impossible for them to cross these sea of dark mages.
Amano was not concerned about being attacked on her wedding day. Only thought that was running towards her head was that she had to save her daughter!
She saw dark mages begin to fill up the blank spot left by their comrades who were swallowed by the mud field she created.
Chain began to spin in her hands to make a large drill of sorts, a drill that was going through hordes of dark mages who tried to attack her chain but all the attacks got deflected with 'clang' before it could penetrate the chains.
Seeing as the frontal attack was not having any effect on chains, images of Hades' lair changed their tactics and moved out of the drills way and began to attack her from the behind where she doesn't have the protection of chains.
Amano seeing attack coming her way, immediately dispatched her chains and jumped back some distance, just as she landed she was surrounded by dark mages from each corner, one came for her with a spear thrust, she grabbed the spear in midair and used it as baton to send away the owner of spear, twirling the spear in her hands, she began to dance between dark mage's attack and simultaneously hit them at the same time.
One mage manage to get inside her guard, while she was hitting another mage with spear "Got ya!" he screamed in glee as he made to stab his sword through her chest, but before he could stab her, a golden chain emerged from the redhead chest and cleanly stabbed him through the chest instead.
He fell down with dull eyes, as life left his body.
Right now, Amano isn't concerned about how to deal with dark mages without killing them, she has to get to her daughter, no matter what it takes! Making sure not to kill these lowlifes was her last concern!
Avoiding another attack for her head, Amano ducked and threw the spear towards the attacking mages with enough force to drill through him and stabbed the man behind him, both falling dead with a large gaping hole in their body.
" . . .Way!" Amano grit her teeth as she looked at the new group of mages that began to surround her, she summoned her golden chains in both hands just like before, but this time chains were buzzing as wind chakra traveled through the chains, coating in sharp and deadly wind blades.
The group in front of the crazy redhead gulped in fear, as dark aura surrounded the redhead, with whatever bravery left in their body, they charged their weapon towards her.
Seeing them charging their weapon, Amano visage darken as she brought down her wind coated golden chains to unfortunate dark mages.
XXXXXXXXXX
Naruto finished up the seal he was writing for some time, he already tried undoing the barrier three times but each he failed to undo it.
"Please work this time" Naruto spoke to himself with some frustration, the kanji on barrier seals were very difficult to undo, it was set upon layer over layer.
Suijin must have put a more complex barrier for him, seeing as how he effortlessly undo his previous barrier.
He tried using his special sealing shuriken as well but it did not have any effect on the barrier placed in front of him.
He placed the seal he had written on paper in front of the barrier and made some hand signs to activate the undo process.
He closed his eyes in concentration, and hoped that it finally worked this time, who knows what must be happening in the shrine, he can see some smoke and ashes were coming from the direction where the wedding was held. He can only hope that everything will be alright.
He saw the markings placed on the barrier were beginning to fade away as he began to concentrate, after a minute or two he saw every marking on the barrier finally fade away.
'Sigh'
He breathed in relief as the hard part finally ended after so many efforts. "Now I just have to break it." He saw the thin reflection of the barrier was still in the place, coating his hand in wind chakra he punched the barrier.
Barrier broke with his punch and took another sign of relief, he was kind of expecting something dramatic to happen at the last second, he was glad that nothing happened, this means he can finally go after Mina and Macao.
Just as he was about to leave he heard something coming towards him at high speed.
"That hurt you dipshit!"
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard the familiar voice of Redhead he just defeated coming from his back.
He whipped his head towards the source of voice only to see a hand come towards his head real fast, before he could even speak or move, that hand grabbed his head and dragged him through the hard rigid ground with high speed, Suijin continued to run few good distance until they reached the forest, by now Naruto back and legs were badly bleeding from begin dragged rough land, even if he wanted to scream in pain he couldn't scream as hand also covered his mouth muffling the scream, he tried using his jutsu but all was in vain effort "I want to spare your life but you're making this really hard for me" Suijin stopped as he finally decided to stopped running as his other hand began to glow with white magic, the air around his hand began to crack even the very ground they were standing on vibrate from the intensity of potent magic present in Redhead hands.
Naruto began to squirm in his grasp to get free of his grip but it having no effect of redhead grip, in desperation Naruto called out his chains to protect himself and attack Suijin, just as his chain was about to strike him, suijin golden chains strike his away "Did you really think just because I can't use my chains on you, means you can use your chains on me?" Suijin tightened his grip around Naruto's head and pulled back his glowing white fist.
"Don't blame me if you die from this! It's payback for that attack" Suijin brought his hand over Blonde body with the force that shook the ground and formed a very big crate in the middle of the forest.
Everything around them was blinded by the brilliant illuminating white light indicating the fully charged of magic
Quake Magic: Maximum Tremor
DHAMMMM
The ground shattered from the attack, sending the large pieces of debris in every direction, trees uprooted along with the very image on the landscape shifted from attack.
The entire area was uprooted from his attack, Suijin stood there waiting for dust to settle down before he hunched over on his knees as pain attack his body "That damn brat really did number on me" He grimaced in agony as he looked where blur spiraling ball drilled into him in stomach, there was ugly mark on his stomach that shaped like someone rotated his inside in very twisted and ugly manner, not being able of holdup much longer he threw up some blood that was caused due to internal bleeding caused by Rasengan "What kind of technique is this?" He mused in fascination at the technique used by blonde, he brought his glowing green hand over his stomach to heal himself, it shouldn't affect him this much considering his Uzumaki healing factor and the fact he had lacrima inserted inside of him, Lacrima acts as reservoir natural energy in this world that's pouring inside his body, making it multiple time stronger and durable compare to normal shinobi.
Compare to someone who's born in world with the ability to contain magic, shinobi's are about equal or less durable than mages (Not weaker just durable and tougher) but when shinobi inserts a lacrima inside their body which act as magical container for them it makes their body much more powerful, it heighten every aspect of shinobi to their maximum level. The fact he was easily able to take his beating without much hassle was thanks to that.
Inserting Lacrima inside your body makes sounds good and all but it has major drawbacks as…..
Explode
The ground beneath Suijin exploded with shower of debris, Redhead was thrown off by the sudden burst of debris as he winced in pain and corrected himself in the air to land on ground a few feet away from the source of the explosion.
The sky began to darken as the black cloud formed over his head, as the result of Abaddon fire attack earlier as thunder began to form in the sky indicating a storm is about to pass on.
Suijin stood up tall to see dust created from that explosion began to settle down where a figure was crouched down with heavy breathe, as the dust finally settle he can make out the figure of Blonde which was all covered in bruise and blood as if he was willing himself to stand up with sheer willpower.
He was glaring at him as he stood up.
At the last minute Naruto used his chains to cushion the blow to his body, but against the might of his attack his chains gave out and the attack hit him squarely on stomach, but still it decreased the intensity of attack enough for him to at least stand up.
Naruto could feel pain with the rising and falling of his chest, he didn't really have a clue but he was sure that the attack broke a lot of bones inside his body. Blood coming out of his mouth means he got some internal bleeding as well, his arms and legs felt numb from pain.
That was the only reason he's even alive to be standing in front of him was because he used his chains in the right time to protect himself, Suijin attack was much more powerful than the one he experienced all those years ago that defeated him in his kyuubi chakra form.
'Kyubbi give me some of your chakra!' Naruto closed one eye in pain as he pulled back on his conscience to stand in front of a big gate of nine tailed demon fox.
"Still as pathetic as ever, you still can't do anything without my powers"
'Shut up and just pay the damn rent furball!'
"Weak growling before strong? I don't like your attitude!"
"Look I would love to chat but now not the time"
"Very well I will give you some of my chakra"
Naruto could hear the fox's loud crackling in the back corner of his head.
He felt the pain decreasing as the power of the tailed beast began running through his system, his wounds began to heal up as streams started to come out of his body cause of filling up of wounds.
Naruto grimaced as painful agony began to subside bit by bit.
"How are you still standing?" Naruto glared towards Redhead who was still healing himself standing a few meters away from him, his eyes never left his figure as he was standing with his guard raised up in case blonde ran towards him to attack.
Naruto was 100% sure that his Oodama Rasengan would surely put him out for good, no one has ever been able to stand up to that attack before even that tough guy he fought 2 and half years ago was wreck by that attack, and even if he endures that attack then his seal should have prevented Hades lair member from moving or even using his chakra. So the question remains, how?
Suijin ignored his question, he grimaced as he felt Kyuubi chakra began to layered around blonde body, that was kind of worrying, up until now blonde was somehow keeping up him without using fox chakra inside his body and that kind of worried him, since with the help of kyuubi chakra he will become much more powerful than before, only thing that he can hope for is that blonde will go berserk just like last time that will make his work all much simple.
A beast blinded in rage and anger is quite easier to handle than a beast who knows what he is doing!
Orange bubbles began to wrap around the blonde as his eyes became red with his hair and whisker became darker and thicker, giving him the look of feral beast. Naruto crouched down on all fours limbs, as coat of kyuubi chakra formed a one tail behind his back
Without saying a word Kyuubified Naruto dashed towards Redhead with both of his hands made out of kyuubi's chakra into hammer as he bring it down towards redhead, Sujin absurdly stopped healing himself and raised his hand to caught the attack with his single arm, the ground beneath him cracked from the force of his attack.
Raising his other arm he formed mass of wave like blade made out of water and forced it towards blonde's head, Seeing attack coming his way Naruto kyuubi chakra tail swat away the blade with ease as he began to put more pressure in his hand to crush Redhead under his hands but no matter how much he tried to pressure him into submit Suijin stood there under all that weight without sweat. He just stared at him unnerving, the intensity of that look was really bothering him.
A flash of anger crossed his mind, he can't afford to waste any more time than he already had, he had to get to Mina!
Naruto lashed out with his tail towards Suijin who brought out his other hand to protect himself against swipe, the force of swipe was enough to make him skid a few good distances. He was about to jump at him again when he paused for a moment at the sentence that escaped from his Redhead lips.
"Join me" It was just two simple words.
"W-What?" Naruto felt his composer broken for a bit at what he just heard, but he collected himself just a quick "What did you just say?" Naruto could feel anger rapidly bubbling inside his head at what he just heard.
"I said join me, we don't have to fight meaninglessly!" Suijin said it stoically, without any kind of humor or malicious intent "I wanted to talk to you about this a long time ago but you escaped, that's was the reason I didn't kill you after extracting Kyuubi's chakra from you"
He don't know why but hearing those words coming from redhead pissed him off so much he could practically feel himself seeing red "Are you fucking kidding me?" If it was a joke, then he's taking it way too far.
"We are family even if we both don't like that fact, we don't have to fight each other" Suijin took a slow step forward towards Kyuubified Naruto.
"Huh? Family? That's rich coming from you! Family don't lock up their father and tries to harm their own daughter and sister" Naruto spat the word with some venom as he crouched on all fours as he felt the number of tails increased from one to two.
The ground he was standing on shattered from the shock at which he launched himself at him, he practically vanished from the naked eyes.
Suijin raised his arm just in time to block a punch that came to his face, Naruto pulled back his corked fist and swipe with right jab to his face, Which was blocked in response, Naruto hands turn into claw as they tried to tear away his neck, he didn't want to hear any more words coming out of his mouth, not when his little sister is in danger.
"You don't understand, I never intended to hurt or cause them any harm, even Mina, she's needed to activate the artifact that's all after that she's free" Suijin said as he ducked under a large fist made up of kyuubi's chakra, He shot a stream of water to cut off that arm but missed, Naruto twisted his kyuubified hand and made to cut him with his sharp claws.
"Shut up!" he didn't want to hear him spilling any more bullshit than he already had "Do you have even the slightest idea how much hurt you have caused Amano and Atsushi-jisan?" With a snarl he picked up one boulder from the ground and chunked it in Suijin's way who destroyed it in a second with his quake magic.
They continued the process of Naruto attacking and Suijin blocking or redirecting his blow for few minutes until Naruto grew tired of doing that and enlarged his kyuubi chakra arms to grab hold of him, But despite being injured Suijin kept moving around his grip with grace and predicting that come with lots of experience of fighting,
Suijin Jumped over his hand and materialized some senbon needles made up of water and shot it at a blonde.
ROAR
Naruto let out a roar that created a gust wind, so powerful that it swept away all the water needles along with Suijin, who flew along the gust of wind some distance away, as he righted himself in midair.
Suijin summoned his chain in midair and shot them at him with alarming speed, Naruto didn't dodged, cause he knew his chain would bounce off his body due to mother protective chains.
But instead of hitting him it went past him, his anticipation turned into curiosity when Suijin jerked his hand to pull his chain to himself as the blonde looked at his back to see what was his target was pulling, when he looked at the big boulder attached to chain was coming towards him very fast.
Before Naruto could do anything or move, he was already hit by a big boulder, he felt it! Even in kyuubi chakra he felt his rib crack with that attack, Naruto grit his teeth and smashed the boulder into little pieces.
Whole terrain was shifted to one big mess of boulder and destroyed land from their fight, enlarging his hands Naruto punched every boulder present towards Suijin as an act of revenge, he can slowly feel his mind was going numb from anger and fury.
Right now he just wants to beat him up and save his sister but in the back of his consciousness in a very dark corner he wanted to beat him up until he's nothing more than just a lump of red paste.
Suijin was busy dodging boulders, he destroyed a few of them. Left and right before he jumped over one on boulder with white light shining on his hands as air began to vibrate again
He punched another boulder which shattered in impact, he continued this until he got close to him "I want to revive our clan and I will need your help in that"
"What the fuck are you sprouting off?" Naruto paused for a bit as he snarled at him in confusion.
"Don't you want to get back at Konoha for making you Jinchuriki just because you're a Uzumaki, I know how they treat a Jinchuriki back in elemental Nation" Suijin jumped over last boulder as Naruto paused for second to hear what he's saying.
"Don't assume what I want? And what does Konoha or Elemental Nation have anything to do with reviving the clan?" He will hear him out only for a bit to see what he wants to say.
"Peoples hate what they don't understand, you should know that better than anyone else, they fear you because they think of you as monster, they don't realize that you're necessary evil that keeps bijju's at bay"
"So what?"
Seeing he wasn't interrupted Suijin let a ghost smile tug at his lips as he saw he had undivided attention of blonde Jinchuriki
"You already know that 5 great nations rule over Elemental Nation, they are the main players of elemental Nation but instead of acting like true boss they fight with each other like childrens for profit, whereas we Uzumaki despite rivalling them in power even with fewer military might, we were neutral nation, so why did they attack us? We only wanted peace, did we not?"
"Because they come to fear the Uzumaki clan" Blonde answered his question. He still hasn't dropped his guard as he attentively listens to what he has to say.
"Exactly! They fear us and why? Because they don't understand us, they began to fascinated by our jutsu and power, then that fascination began to change in uneasiness, then uneasiness began to change into realization of our capabilities, which again changed and take form into emotion that they call fear, and what do they do to whom they fear, they hate them, they condemn them and slowly they began to form a plan to kill that fear, which at first fascinated them, because as long as that fear exist, then they won't rest until they destroyed that fear with their own hands" Suijin looked at Kyuubified blonde who keeps staring at with some confusion.
"I already know about that! I don't need you phrasing it" Naruto answered with glare, he knows about his clan's history from Atsushi.
"Then, Please let me explain thoroughly"
Now to hammer the final nail.
"You're jinchuriki! You have experience the same thing in your life, a life full of hate and misery, Konoha first used your Mother who was a refugee and a foreigner in their land, as jinchuriki, instead of using their own just because of her status as Uzumaki and then after they done using her, then they used you in her dying bed, who is also an Uzumaki!" Suijin looked to see Naruto had a stunned expression on his face.
"W-Wait! My mom was jinchuriki? What the fuck talking about?" Naruto felt his heart beating slightly faster than usual and all the blood was going towards his head and it wasn't due to adrenaline,
"You didn't know?" Suijin looked at him in surprise he was sure blonde or his family should have already guessed it or someone must have told him about it by now "Then again, why would Konoha will ever tell you that they first used your mother as sacrifice and then they are doing the same with you" Suijin was barely manage to control smile on his face
Oh! This is just perfect!
"Hold up! First explain what do you mean my mom was Jinchuriki?" Naruto asked as he could feel anger was bubbling inside his head.
"It's really easy to connect the dot! Think about it for a moment, you are the jinchuuriki of Kyuubi, who also has the protection that your mother left behind for you most likely from Kyuubi because she loves you very dearly, but her protection reacts to my chakra chains and it's also strong enough it push me away, you should know that you mother, Kushine had the most powerful chains in our clans history, mine and yours doesn't even come close to hers. So can you imagine a scenario where Konoha won't use someone like her as human sacrifice? Someone who can fill the role of Jinchuriki perfectly. Who can act as a shield for their village" Suijin began to walk in a circle around the blonde, he was not 100% sure that they actually used Kushina as Jinchuriki, because for his part it was just his theory with so many points that pointed towards that direction. "They used her, a foreigner refugee who came to their village for shelter instead of someone who's from their own village, they used her! All because she was Uzumaki! It's wrong of them to choose a refugee of an allied nation as human sacrifice instead of their own, because of them your mother must have suffered the same fate as you or maybe worse than you, who knows what happened to her? Maybe she died of illness or in duty, or maybe she went mad with treatment she received from people of konoha and when she refused to listen to them they took her out or maybe someone from the village tried to…. You know considering all the hate you jinchuriki gets it's not unthinkable to think any of that!"
The Dark sky began to crack from the thunder as a heavy wind began to rustle the leaves and trees near them, as blonde and Redhead began to talk amongst themselves.
"T-They would never do anything like that!" Naruto tried to sound tough but it came out weak, he thought back to how third Hokage used to treat him, then his mind went to how villagers used to treat him. No matter how much he tried he just couldn't shake what Suijin said.
"All right let's take what you said into account, then tell me why would they lie to you about your parents and heritage? Why did they not tell you about your parents? You're an Uzumaki, no matter how big of a village Konoha is, they must have some information about Uzumakis considering how powerful our clan were, hell even the wife of the first hokage was Uzumaki, who was also the first Jinchuriki. So why would they not tell you anything about our clan? Because from what you told me in our first meeting it was really easy to see that you didn't know anything about our clan until you met me that day. So can you say this for sure that Konoha isn't hiding anything from you?!"
"I- but-" Naruto just stood there as he tried to utter some words as he absorbed everything that was being said, he can't find any defense that he can use against his argument.
"Okay one last thing, just tell me, who told you about Kushina? Was it my family or was it Konoha?" he already knew the answer to that question when he saw that picture of grown up kushina, he knew that blonde didn't had any idea who his parents were when he first met him most likely due to Konoha keeping his parentage a secret so why would they suddenly decided to tell him that he had mother of whom they already have already known about but was keeping secret, unless Naruto told them he knew his mother when he heard it (Most likely)from his father or sister. He should have no clue about her.
Naruto's body posture went from guard to slump as he realized whatever he just said was all true, even if he wanted to he just can't find any holes in his argument, Suijin questions really hit home.
He had asked Hiruzen countless times about his parents who always avoided his question saying he don't know or make up some other excuse, even Jiraiya knew about his mother and possibly father as well, Jiraiya even admitted to know something more about his mother that he personally wanted to tell him when they will meet next time, was it this the thing that he personally wanted to tell him about his mother? And what about his clan and First hokage's wife? If they somehow can't tell him about his parents, shouldn't they at the very least tell him about his clans? So why didn't they?
Hades' lair member let slip a smile as he saw a stumped look on Jinchuriki's face.
Suijin was just taking blind shots in the dark. It was all theory on his part. But it looks like he was right!
Just the final little touch!
"See that's what they do! Every 5 Nation is like that, they first use us and then they throw us in front of slaughter house when we had our use, just like animals" Suijin reached towards Kyuubified Naruto and looked at him in eyes "I want your help in reviving our clan, I will need your powers" He carefully stepped towards him, each step taken very slowly.
"First hokage was the one who distributed bijuu to every Nation like he's handing candies to some kids candies and what did those kids do with those candies? They demanded that we hand them our kinsman to them just to become that wrapper or should I say sacrifice. A sacrifice just like you and Kushina! If it weren't for First hokage and those villages, our clan might have been still alive and thriving, because of them we had to suffer'' Suijin carefully stopped in front of blonde, he was so close to blonde that if he desired he can kill blonde in blink of an eye, Jinchuriki or not!
But he can already guess it won't be required, blonde is finally in his grasp now!
"After Abaddon fulfills his wish with sphere, I will take that sphere back to elemental Nation with me and I will point that towards 5 great nations, I will destroy them all and then, with them out of our way I will need yours power to rebuild our clan from scratch, both of us will make Utopia with rest of our family, me, you, Amano, Father and Mina, we will start anew!" He held out his hands to shake with him, as a sign of trust.
Naruto looked at his outstretched hand for a second as he dispatched his kyuubi chakra with close eyes as if resigning, Suijin smile widen to see him dispatching kyuubi's chakra, Naruto slowly extend his hand towards Suijin before who bore a happy smile on his face.
Suijin Smile disappeared when he felt the area around blonde hand shift and in the blink of an eye his hands were covered in wind chakra.
Naruto made a slash towards Suijin with intent to slice him in half, Suijin barely managed to back up beforehand thanks to his sensory power but his eyes widened in shock as he felt hot liquid flowing down right shoulder "W-What?"
He looked towards to see his right hand was completely severed from his shoulder, his severed right hand fall to the ground, he didn't even have the time to think before Naruto come towards him to cut him, redhead jumped back but not before a large gash appear on his chest as blood began to flow down his chest.
"The fuck are you doing?! You should be by my side!" Suijin grit his teeth as he looked at his wounded arm.
"Shut up, I listened quietly to your endless talking…Idiots can't get to the point so they always talk for a long time….you basically mean 'I wanna harass people so please join me' right?" Don't bother! I don't have time to waste on lunatics like you!" Naruto yelled towards him with an angry snarl, his Kyuubi chakra leaking from his body, the pupil of his red eye expanded, with sharp teeth and dark whisker mark becoming notably thick from the kyuubi's influence. "Even if by chance you're right about my mom, doesn't mean i will listen to you!"
Seeing him snarling at him, Suijin mind broke out in rage as well, as he looked towards blonde with murder in his eyes for what he had done to his hand "Looks like any reasons are wasted on you! I thought at the very least you'd understand!" he snarled. He stopped the bleeding of his right severed hand by tightly wrapping his chains around the wound, temporary closing it.
He had enough of playing around with him, he was going to spare him but now he changed his mind
"I was going to let you live but now I changed my mind"
"You stole my fucking line!" Naruto barked back with murder in his eyes.
Suijin raised his towards the sky as the moisture in the air circle towards the center and formed a big water hurricane.
"You're gonna regret rejecting my offer" Waved his hand and he sent big hurricane Naruto's way.
"Water style: Whirlpool"
Naruto stood firmly with a glare directed towards the mass of water coming his way, electricity began to discharge around his body. Big water hurricane envelope him
BOOM.
Ground around Blonde was asunder to pieces as a water hurricane ravaged the earth.
*Spark
There was a tiny spark in the middle of the hurricane as light came suddenly through a mass of water.
A foot connects with suijin chest, whose eyes widen as he coughs up blood, he could hear his ribcage breaking from that single attack alone even after having his enhanced body that comes with absorbing natural energy.
He was sure if he didn't have that enhanced body that kick of blonde would have torn open a hole in his chest.
Suijin was rocket backward from the attack and collided with trees in his path, he tried to stop his motion by summoning his chains and using it as an anchor to stop his momentum.
But before he could take a break, he saw Blonde was coming towards him from the sky, his whole body was coated with lightning chakra, his long hair sticking up like antennas, with sparks of lightning dancing around his body. He was giving off an almost menacing vibe. Suijin desperately rolled out of the way and barely managed to avoid the worst of the attack as ground shattered from the impact of his drop.
He closed his eyes from letting dust go into his eyes but he was hit by dozens of big boulders that flew out of the impact area.
Meanwhile Naruto's mind was a huge mess, even if he wanted to he just wasn't able to get what Suijin said out of his mind, it was the wrong decision to listen to him! He was tempted for sec to take his offer but he barely stopped himself as he remembered he had to make sure Mina and everyone is safe, his problems will come after that, first priority of his is making sure everyone is alright!
The desperation of saving Mina, frustration at himself for letting what happen to Gildarts, fear of everybody safety and after hearing all that about his mother from Suijin's mouth that she might had been human sacrifice just like him, used by his village and everyone who know about his mother was keeping quiet about the fact that they know her, until he found out about his mother in this world, was clouding his mind with so much anger and rage that it was messing up his ability to think straight.
Right now he more than anything else wanted to hurt someone really badly, he was not sure if it was him or if it was Kyuubi's chakra that was messing with his ability to think clearly.
All his anger was pouring out of his body in the form of violence towards the redhead in front of him who was trying to use his mother as an excuse to manipulate him just a minute ago.
Naruto saw Suijin standing up some distance away from him with his remaining arm's palm on the ground, he was looking at him with hatred in his eyes.
Naruto instinct flared up as he felt the ground beneath him shift as a spike rose from the ground to impale him, kicking up the air, a discharge of lightning flick from his body. And in an instant he disappeared from his place.
He was moving at the speed of light.
He was inspired to create this technique when he met that girl from phantom thieves who was using lightning around her body to move really fast. By pouring his tenketsu point with lightning chakra he enveloped his entire body
Naruto silently winced as he felt his body tear up, muscle began to spam and burn due to continuous use of lightning clock around himself. His chakra network felt like it was burning. Even though barely seconds passed by using lightening chakra, his body was taking some serious damage. Only saving grace here is kyubi's chakra that was healing him while he's using this technique.
That was the reason he didn't use this technique until now. While this technique has power and speed needed to overcome an extremely strong enemy It breaks his body with continuous use of this attack, but right now his mind is clouded with so much anger and frustration that he simply doesn't care about this stuff.
Without wasting time Naruto's body flickers in lightning as he races towards his foe, Seeing him coming Suijin placed his hand in the ground immediately as a big wall of earth stood up to defend him against blonde lightning fast attacks.
Unable to change direction at the last second, cocking back his fist Naruto punched through the wall standing in front of him, only to be greeted with sight of a wall of water lance that came flying towards him to take his pierce his body.
But before it could reach him, Naruto's body flickered in lightning as he again vanished in pure speed as water lances pierced the ground around where he previously stood.
In the meantime Suijin managed to form a large wave of water with his hands and landed on the water. He saw a figure in a lightning cloak chase after him at rapid speed, using water he began to slide on it like he was surfing on a big ocean wave.
Creating spikes made up of water Suijin turned around to face chasing figure and let the water beneath him guide him as he shot water spike over water spikes towards lightning figure in rapid speed, as Naruto Zig-Zag through water attack and ran upto redhead with a kick directed at redhead back.
His kick connected with Ex-Wizard saint's back that sent him flying towards the trees in clearing.
Naruto grimaced as he felt his angel break from the impact of attack, but he didn't deter and ran after flying figure of redhead, who crashed through couples of trees, but before he could stop himself, Naruto was already there for him with his fists joined together to form a hammer like fist, just as suijin came flying into his personal space. He smashed him into the ground.
BOOM
Ground around them erupted from where Blonde smashed him, without letting up, he continued his barrage of punches at a very fast pace, one after another attack came for Redhead under blonde pummel.
"UUUGGGHHH AAAAA"
Suijin grit his teeth as he kept on receiving one hit after another, he tried to bring up his hands to block the attacks but his hand kept getting swatted away from the ferocity of attacks. And this time it was really hurting him, those punches hurt like hell, Every punch packs a ton load of force behind it.
Crater kept getting bigger as the punches began to land on his body, one after another. Soon blood began to cover Naruto's fist as he kept up his onslaught.
"Ack"
Blonde suddenly recoils in mid attack, as his muscle-tear gave out for a second, and he felt the after effect of his attack when he felt his bone cracking from the each punch he threw out. Lightning cloak around his body fade away.
That recoil gave Suijin enough time to pull up a desperate attack, Naruto eyes widened when he found out that he was hovering above the ground as a sharp pain pierce his flesh.
Naruto saw as blood flew in front of him, blood? It wasn't his opponent's blood, it was his blood. He looked down to see his body was pierced in different places by thin lance like water.
Naruto cried out in pain, as he desperately tried to get the lance out that was sticking from his body.
Rolling over his head on the ground, Suijin stood up with white magical aura around his feet, with a sprint he kicked the defenseless blonde just as Naruto tore down the water lance sticking over his body. Kick connected to Naruto's face in center and a loud sound reverberated throughout the clearing as Naruto was sent flying some distance away from his attack as blood sprayed everywhere from the kick.
"…..*Huff*….you..know…..you are…*Huff*…making me..out to be…*Huff*….a really bad uncle" Suijin said with a heavy gasp of deep breaths.
He gradually brought his remaining hand to his face, his face received most of the blonde brutal beating, his face was swollen and bloodied, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth, he was internally bleeding from all over his body.
Suijin took deep breaths to calm frantic breathing. He clearly underestimated that little brat!
Naruto wobbly stood up, he was out of breath, there were holes all over his body, but they were slowly healing themselves. His face was bloodied too, his nose was bent at an awkward angle, with some teeth missing from his mouth and his lips were bleeding pretty badly. He made sure to kick the blonde face right in center as hard as possible. It was hard to recognize Naruto with all that blood on his face. But the most defining feature of the blonde right was that glare that was directed towards him.
That sight pissed him off! No matter how many times he got hit, no matter how powerful a blow he kept on getting, he kept standing up. That defiance was making him blood boil.
Redhead grit his teeth as he saw blonde stood up, who was glaring at him through blood on his face "Why don't you just stay the fuck down!?" With a loud yell he punched the ground with his magic covered fist. Ground broke as the crack traveled upto where blonde was standing, He tried to move but instability of shaking ground, plus muscle spamming from using lighting chakra cloak and holes in his body was making it hard for him to move and he fell on the earth crack.
Suijin jumped in the air with his legs covered in white magic, dropping towards the ground he raised his right leg and brought it down towards Naruto's head. To smash his head like watermelon!
Naruto somehow managed to roll from point of impact but the corner side of his back was caught by a redhead attack, very close to his lungs. Making his shirt wet with red color from the wound formed in his back. Blood rapidly began to flow from his wound.
"Don't make light of Ex-Wizard saint!" With a loud yell he launched a kick to blonde as he tried to stand up, his kick impacted the wounded side of Naruto back, who loudly screamed in pain as his wound throb very painfully from the powerful kick. Followed by punches and kicks to the face and body. But as he tried to go for another attack, in a haste Naruto somehow managed to hook Suijin's legs under him and swept his feet at the last minute to make him fall on the unstable ground.
Quickly changing his position, Naruto climbed up the redhead body and locked his head and legs from behind and with excruciating force began to strangle him with all his might.
"Let…go…of…ME!" Ex-wizard saint yelled between his breath.
Redhead desperately tried to get him off his back, as he repeatedly tried to elbow blonde behind him, some hit face and body, while some missed. He felt his vision going blurry from the lack of oxygen, and again he elbowed his opponent, but this time Naruto opened his mouth far wide, when elbow came for his face and he bite it down as hard as possible, blood began to ooze from Suijin remaining arm, where Naruto was biting him rather savagely.
"Uck!" He tried to free his arm but to no avail.
It wasn't a fight anymore, it was just a brawl! A mad brawl
Suijin was in big tight spot, both of his legs were strangled painfully by blonde's meanwhile his remaining arm was locked on his teeth, Naruto was biting it hard and refuse to let his arm go from his mouth, no matter how much he tried to pry it away, the more he struggle the more tightly blonde chomped down on his arm.
His face became red from the rising blood pressure in his face due to being strangled, he had to do something, his vision was getting blurred from the lack of oxygen supply.
In his last desperate attempt he tried to use his chain from his back, to penetrate blonde, but before it could touch Blonde's skin, it was repelled by the far superior chain than his own.
He cursed as he realized his fruitless effort of using chains on blonde.
".u...h…a"
He tried to utter some words before his body went limp, he stopped resisting against the blonde grip, But Naruto still continued to apply pressure until he was sure that the redhead wasn't faking it.
He waited some more, seeing the body above him was unresponsive, he rolled him over to the ground and lay beside the unresponsive body.
He doesn't know why but he felt if the left alone redhead beside him would suddenly rise up and stop him.
That's why he waited with the kunai in his hands beside, for him to wake up, after confirming he's truly out cold, he put the kunai back in seal.
His mouth was filled with blood, both his and his enemy's blood. He didn't really know what was hurting him more, his face or his body? And He don't really care about any of that!
He tried to stand up, but he couldn't, his body just wasn't responding to him anymore.
Afterall the damage it was a miracle that he was even alive and breathing, his body was in pure agony, he had never felt like this before, last time he came close this kind of beating was when Suijin beat him too close to death.
"Move dammit!" He cursed his body through bloodied teeth. When he felt it, a chunk of meat that was stuck in his swelled mouth. He threw up! It was disgusting!
Pushing himself against the ground he groggily stood up, his vision suddenly distorted and he fell down bizarrely.
His fall opened up a wound on his body. Grimacing in pain, he again tried to stand up with wobbling legs.
That lightning cloak attack took a lot more than he imagined it would. Plus all those damage he took makes it really hard to move. If it weren't for Kyuubi's chakra he was sure he would have been lying dead somewhere on the ground.
He closed his eyes as he called for more of Kyuubi's chakra, an orange bubble began to form over his body as the Kyubi clock covered his body from head to toe with a tail sticking from his butt.
He sighs as pain slowly becomes somewhat numb, most of his wounds begin to close at a faster rate "Still not enough!" he needs to heal fast!
He suddenly sprouted two more tails as Kyuubi chakra thickened and became visibly potent. His eyes became pure red, with hair, whisker marks and nails becoming more profound.
Kill him
Just as he was cloaked in kyuubi chakra, a familiar voice whispered in his mind.
It was his own voice.
He looked towards the fallen body of the older Uzumaki, he couldn't afford him getting up again.
Naruto raised his Kyuufied Chakra hand as his chakra began to swirl around his palm which began to mix with Kyuubi's chakra.
He looked towards Redhead with an apathy expression on his face as he was expecting him to get and attack him at any moment.
Do it! Kill him!
Seeing no action from the Unresponsive body he brought his hand towards fallens body to erase it from existence.
He stopped a moment before his attack could hit him. He found his breath was labored for some reason
"What the…. hell am I doing?"
He still has to answer for all he has done.
Don't stop! Kill!
Naruto took a deep breath and went through a bunch of hand seals and placed it on the Unresponsive body, a complex form of matrix formed on the body as it was suddenly enveloped in a thick layer of earth as only his face was free to take some oxygen.
There's still time! Do it! Destroy him!
This will keep his body from moving and at the same time stopping his body from losing blood.
Whossssh
Naruto shielded his eyes as he felt the whole area was blinded with shining light!
Naruto suddenly put up his guard and snarled towards Suijin, expecting to get attacked yet again. Only to see Suijin was still unresponsive where he left him earlier, while the shining light was travelling fast towards the outer part of the city.
Naruto's heart began to race as his thought drifted towards the only thing he could think of right now.
"…Mina?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[Mira Monologue] [part-2]
This week has been a big piss off! First that incident with Wakabe, then today when I tried talking to my 'best friend' he ended up snapped at me for some reason.
That pissed me off real bad! Who the fuck does he think he is? Think he can snap at me and get away with it without any price then he's sorely mistaken.
It felt weird calling him my best friend.
"I'm home!" My ears perked up when a familiar voice called out from the entrance of the house.
"Welcome home Lisanna!" I called out from kitchen
It was my cute little sister's voice. I didn't see her all day long. She must have been out with Natsu and happy playing, happy family or something.
I decided to ask her what was she upto all day but before I could say anything-
"Mira-nee can you believe it that they fought over fish this time? A single fish! And then I had to spend all noon convincing them to make up" Lisanna whined "Honestly those boys are so hopeless!"
She whined and plopped down on the couch with a long sigh!
Hopeless boys? Yeah that word reminds me of a certain someone I know of, my thought immediately went back to that conversation I had with him just an hour ago.
"Tell me about it! Same goes for that idiot, he came after weeks from his work and the first thing he did was to pick a fight with me" I Responded without looking up from the vegetables that I'm cutting on the chopping board.
We talk about them so often that we both know without saying the name of whom we were talking about.
I'm making dinner for my younger siblings, Elfman is still playing at the guild so we were alone having our sister time to talk.
Lisanna must have noted I sounded angry as she looked up from the couch towards the kitchen with a surprised expression.
"He did? Why? Did you provoke him Mira-nee?!" Lisaana asked with curiosity.
"Huh? Why would you think I was the one who provoked him? I just talked to him for a bit when he suddenly snapped at me out of nowhere!" I replied back with some annoyance. Why did my own little sister first thought to that news was that I provoked him? I don't go around picking fights with everyone rather it's the other way around.
If only they don't resist and just accept me as topdog then there's no need to shred any blood! They forced me to attack them by resisting me and that's their fault for being beaten by me!
"…"
…..Okay so I pick fights with everyone but that still doesn't justify her claiming I'm the one who provoked him when it's clearly the other way around.
But still I was just talking to him after weeks and for some reason the first thing he did was to vent out his anger on me.
"Really? That doesn't sound like him, something must have been bugging him" Lisanna concluded.
Well she was not wrong either, Me and him and had fought so many times since he met over little issues but never once he just snapped at me or anyone for no reason at all.
I went quiet for a moment as I pounded what Lisanna said, something must have been bugging him? That's one plausible theory!
But there's no help thinking about it unnecessarily, so I decided to change the subject.
"By the way, that reminds me, Lisanna, when do you plan on stopping play dates with Natsu and Happy? You are 14, aren't you a little old to still do that kind of thing?" I said from Kitchen.
"H-Haa! W-What? W-Where did that come from?" Looks like my sudden question startled her, as jumped a little on the couch. I could feel a grin growing on my face.
What the heck was up with that reaction? That looked so cute!
"I was just making sure those two get along, you know since Happy and Natsu are kind of like childrens" Lisanna avoided my eye contact and answered the question.
"Is that all? Sure there isn't anything else going on? Hmmm" I felt my teasing grin widen at seeing my sister's embarrassed expression.
Putting the vegetables on the soup and I walked over to her side after turning on the stove to heat up the soup.
Lisanna shrunk under my gaze with an embarrassed blush on her face as she mumbled something under her breath.
"You sure there's nothing going on…Lisanna~?" I whispered in her ears as I sat beside her as to push her to reveal more information.
Lisanna yelped a little as I sat down
Oh god! I don't think I can control myself from teasing her if she keeps giving me those reactions!
"I said nothing is going on between us," Lisanna composed herself.
"Really~" I stretched out the word.
Honestly I don't really mind if Lisanna kikes Natsu in that sort of way, he's idiot but they both looked good together, they even have a kid for god sake!
(Which sounds really weird thing to think of, if one only look at outlet of that word)
Besides, he's kind of cute too!
As I was grinning at her, I saw my sister suddenly take a deep breath and look towards me with a fierce expression as if she was about to retaliate.
I felt my grin widen. Is she really going to strike back to me? Does she really think that she has a winning chance against me? That would be fun!
"Mira-nee forgot about me, what's really going on between you and Naruto-nii? Are you guys dating or something?" Lisanna asked with seriousness.
"Eh?"
Okay I wasn't really expecting that question for the second time this week, so I gave her dumb-folded look as I tried to form words in my mouth but only thing that come out was incomprehensible words.
As I looked towards my sister I saw she had a growing smile on her face as I kept fumble for words.
Damn! Sneak attack!
Wait! Does that mean she actually got back at me for teasing her?!
Before I could say anything else I paused as I finally caught what she just said "Wait! Naruto-nii? Since when did you start calling him 'nii'?"
Hearing my question Lisanna blinked for a bit before she replied with the same teasing grin "Because you like him, right? Who knows maybe he will become my brother-in-law in future, so I start calling him that just for practice"
"Hold up! What do you mean by I like him?" I asked her with some frustration, why does everyone assume that? First Wakabe and now my own little sister!
Is that how I look like to them? Like some love sick girl?
And what's up with whole Brother-in-law nonsense? Is she serious? How far this delusional sister of mine is seeing in future?!
Is marriage and romance the only thing on her mind? Is that why she plays husband and wife with Natsu?
Liking someone and directly thinking of marrying them is two different things! Is she growing up too quickly? For her to say things like that on a whim. That kinda worried me!
She better not get any weird ideas!
I took a deep breath to explain this to her, so she won't blurt out anything unnecessary "Look here Lisanna, I don't like him like that, I just think of him like….my best friend! That's all!" It felt weird calling him my best friend in front of someone else, but this should stop Lisanna from getting any weird ideas like Wakabe…right?
"Eh? Really?" Lisanna blinked in surprise, mostly because of strong conviction coming from my voice.
"Yes Really!" I said more forcefully.
I don't like him like that!
I think?
It looks like Lisanna still wasn't fully convinced with my answer, so standing up I walked over to Kitchen to see if soup was ready.
Lisanna didn't say anything, she only looked at me with narrowed eyes trying to find any kind of deception, until she gave up and went back to looking through the Magazine.
I looked at the soup boiling on the stove, it still wasn't ready. Picking up utensil I began to stir up the soup as my mind went back to what Lisanna said.
Why does everyone think he and I like each other? At first I kind of diminished what Wakabe said within a couple of days, thinking he must have gotten misunderstood that he and I are more than just teammates after I rejected him, but today my own sister questioned my relationship with him.
Or maybe….Wakabe didn't keep his words and went around babbling that nonsense to everyone in the guild behind my back. If so, I will have to make sure that he will never be able to speak another word again.
I suddenly heard Lisanna gasp as she was looking through Magazine, looking towards her I asked "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing!" She replied as she gave me a nervous smile.
"That doesn't sound like nothing" I squinted my gaze at her.
"I-i mean really nothing"
Lisanna fiddled around as she avoided my stare "Lisanna what are you hiding?" I asked again.
Lisanna's face went through so many emotions, from confusion to shock and from shock to nervousness and slight hint of…..anger? Honestly it worried me, did something happen to her? Is she worried about something?
Putting off the stove I walked over to her "Lisanna what happened? Are you worried about something? You can tell me, I'm your big sister" I took her hand in my laps and looked in her eyes.
It's my responsibility as a big sister to look after my siblings, so if anything happens to them I want them to rely on me.
I can tell Lisanna looked worried about hiding something from me. She looked as if she was pondering, should she tell me or not? And that was making me anxious.
"Mira-nee, do you really don't like Naruto-nii in that sort of way?" Lisanna asked after making up her resolution.
"What? You still hung up on that question?" I blurted out at the absurd question.
That was the last thing I was expecting to hear from her, I thought she was worried about something related to herself, not me!
Is she still worried about that stupid question? Is that why she's asking that for the second time?
I placed my hands on my temple and spoke with sigh "Lisanna how many times do I have to repeat myself, I don't like him in that sort of way"
She's a smart girl for her age so I was hoping that Lisanna would get that message when i said it for the first time.
"Well….i-um…..here" She absurdly thrust the sorcerer magazine in my face.
She had her eyes closed as if she would explode at her for thrusting a book on my face "What is it?
Taking the book of my face I looked at what she wanted to show me, the first thing my eyes roamed over was the keyword of the page.
"There's an article about Naruto?" I blinked in surprise.
Well that's news!
My eyes then roamed over the picture on the page and then I think my mind went blank.
"Mira-nee?" Lisanna shook me a little with a worried expression on her face.
It took me sometimes to come back to reality, a minute or maybe a few seconds? I don't really know or care.
Why?
Because in front of me was a picture of a beautiful black haired girl with her lips going towards the blonde haired boy who's back was facing the camera, and they looked like they were kissing each other!
I couldn't mistake that 'back' for anyone else, I had seen his back so often I could tell that the person in the picture was Naruto.
And the headline that printed in bold letters was making it really easy to guess who the boy in the picture really is! Because his Name was written in the capital letters along with Ultear Milkovoch. The councilwomen of the Ishgar.
My eyes quickly roam over every single line in the article
I could feel my gut twisting and sudden burn in my chest grow stronger at each word that I read.
I don't really know why but I felt like breaking and hurting something at this moment, like really bad, most likely the people in the picture.
There were various emotions going through my head, I don't even know about those emotions, some were familiar while others foreign.
And most of all I felt mad! At whom I don't know. At him? For hiding this fact? Or at the girl in the picture?
….Or maybe at myself?
Lisanna was looking at me with a worried gaze as I didn't say anything for some time as I was reading through the article.
"I see…..Good for him" I don't really know what kind of expression I was showing on my face but Lisanna looked really concerned.
"Mira-nee? Are you okay?" My little sister placed her hands on my hands as a sign of support.
"I'm fine" Gently pulling her hands away from me, I stood up from my position and without saying a word walked back to Kitchen
I don't want to have wandering thoughts in my head right now, so I forced myself to get busy and began to make some extra side dishes for dinner.
I'm his friend! Shouldn't he at least tell me about something this big? That was the reason I'm going to go angry at him.
That's what I told myself.
Because I don't even know why am I so angry?
"Mira-nee? Do you remember you said something about Naruto-nii snapping at you earlier, maybe he's edgy because …. You know? " Lisanna said to me with a hint.
I felt my eyes grow big as I realized what she meant "You mean this girl is driving him nuts?"
Yes! This has to be the reason, this would explain everything! She must have been the reason why he was acting like that. Otherwise he would never snapped at me like that.
"I was not….. Implying that, I meant he must have been stressed about this article" Lisanna explained herself hesitatingly that she did not mean what I thought she did as she looked at me with worry in her eyes.
I felt like shaking my head at my little sister, she's too young and innocent to blame others for this sort of thing.
She's not seeing what I'm seeing, this girl in the picture must be the reason why Naruto was acting like that today!
He is too much of an idiot to figure out the reason behind all of his stress.
As his friend it's up to me to figure out how to save him from the girl in the picture.
I had heard only good things about her from Naruto, call it a women institution or whatever but I'm sure that's just her front! While in reality she's not really the sweet girl Naruto describes her to be.
She's definitely not good for him!
Of that I'm one hundred percent sure!

The end
Sorry guys for the late update. A lot of stuff happened over these past months.
I had to submit my final term project and assignments, plus had a big episode with my internship place. My family found out my dad contacted Corona last week, and I'm also showing some symptoms. Hopefully that' all it is!
Next chapter will be updated much sooner.
And small 'Yay' to finally crossed 200 favs and follow for this story and over 100 reviews, you guys are awesome.
Anyway I added Mira monologue from that time after she and Naruto had a little fight after he was made to realize his feelings for Mira.
I was kind of afraid of posting this chapter, so let me know what you think of it.
I'm not really sure how strong Gildarts really was before the series started with Lucy joining FT, He fought bluenote on about equal (Slightly above) footing, and Natsu destroyed bluenote after time skip like childplay. So I am really confused about Gildarts power level before the series started. so please don't hate on me.
All the Hades lair members mention in chapters are from Avatar guild ( it's Canon) except for abaddon who is fictional character for this story alone.
And one last thing, i was waiting to tell everyone is that character Mina is actually from Naruto 'chikara arc' you can search her on google.
That's all!
Please leave a long nice review and please no flames!
Thanks!
Bye!
