AN: Thought of this in the middle of driving home. Just had to write it because it's a very rare pairing. Takes place in the middle of the seven years that Natsu and company are gone. It will be a god-like Naruto, with my favorite characters from the anime in the mix. For the record, this will be a harem with some crossover girls: Mizore, Rukia, Tsubaki, Konan, and Blair.
Now to address the people. My other fics I have some writers block on, so please review or PM with suggestions on how the story should unfold.
On with the show!
(Chapter 1- From Dawn till Dusk., A message is sent)
It has been five years since Tenrou Island. In those years, Fairy Tail had fallen on hard times. It was now only the fifth most powerful guild. All of the other guilds had flourished because of this, getting stronger and stronger, while Fairy Tail weaker and weaker.
The guild Sabertooth had become the most powerful guild, now. It was obvious that it would be. They had some of the most powerful Mages in all of Fiore as members. They bosted the success of hundreds of completed S-Class assignments.
But, rumors were spreading of another guild. A guild filled with nothing but S-Class Mages. That the only way to find them, was by invitation. It was rumored that they took nothing below A-Class Missions. The only evidence of their existence was a single symbol: A small, red, nimbus cloud.
Even the people who employed them would, as soon as the job was taken and paid for, forget the faces of the members. All the other guilds had been very nervous about this. It was reported that all missions taken by the members were completed with brutal efficiency.
The guild even took on the more seedier missions from anyone. Assassinations, extortion, as long as the mission was above A-Rank, they would be hired for it. Even the Mage Council had no knowledge of this guild, other than that they existed outside of their control.
But, those rumors were soon to end.
It was time for the world to recognize the might of the rumored guild: Akatsuki!
(Sabertooth meeting hall)
Jiemma sat in his high backed chair, a neutral look on his face as he looked at the meetings occupants. Sting, Rogue, Orga, Minerva, and Yukino were all assembled. They were his elites. Besides Yukino, that is. She was here at his request.
Clearing his throat, the old Guild Master spoke, "You have all been called here for one reason. We have gotten a message from some very important people. They have requested a meeting with me, and have asked that all of you come specifically. Now, all of you need to pay attention, as we might be able to get some very powerful allies out of this. The ones who have contacted s are…"
Everyone leaned forward, trying to learn as much as they could about these potential allies they might have. Minerva licked her lips at how powerful these allies would be.
"… The Akatsuki."
Everyone stared at their Guild Master in shock. The Akatsuki were infamous for being an illegal guild, one of the most powerful, if the rumors were true. To have them as allies would surely increase Sabertooth's own. It was no rumor that Jiemma had attempted to contact the secretive guild, if to ally or have some of his members train with the masters of the guild.
Jiemma continued, " we have been invited to a secluded meeting place, where we will be transported to the guilds location by a senior member. We will be having a meeting with their Guild Master, so be on your best behavior. The man has to be strong to control so many S-Class mages at once. As such, teat even their junior and apprentice members. If we play our cards right, we will gain a very powerful ally, and maybe, just maybe, we will learn a few secrets of their power."
All the assembled members understood what he meant by that. It was a, be nice or I will kill you things.
Yukino sighed as she thought of her friend. He had stopped writing his weekly letters a few weeks ago, and she had been worried. The two of them had been best of friends all of their childhoods. He was there for her when her sister was taken. But, when he used his magic, they learned something both terrible and wonderful.
He had a very powerful type of magic at his disposal.
He was Demon-God Slayer, a legendary type.
When he had found out, his parents had disowned him, calling him a monster, a demon. When that happened, he had simply left. Then, years later, he had sent her letters, telling her that he had founded a guild and that he had become even more powerful.
She had been happy for him, and informed him so. Now, she was worried about him. Had something happened?
She sighed as she thought, 'Only time will tell.'
(The Next Day- Konoha Village, edge of the Ironwood Forest)
Yukino was slightly surprised at the location of the meeting spot in her home village of Konoha. She had not anticipated this, and was happy to see that things stayed relatively the same. However, the people seemed more on edge, as if they were scared.
When they arrived in the main square, they had spread out so as to not be conspicuous. Yukino had decided to wear a black skirt that stopped at her thighs, thigh high white heeled boots, a ruffled white shirt, and her signature flower in her silver hair.
She casually walked around the square, occasionally eyeing the merchandise of some of the stalls when she saw him.
He was a very large man, standing at about 6'8". He had on a black mask and white and black hood that showed his eyes, which were red with green pupils. He had on a black cloak with nine red nimbus clouds on it. He had a giant package on his back and looked annoyed as he looked back and called out to someone.
"Oi, Brat, if you don't hurry up, we'll be late. And being late will not make Leader happy." His voice was deep and strong, full of confidence and experience. From down the street came a small boy with dark hair and red eyes with commas in them. His hair was spiked in the shape of a porcupine and he wore a black cloak similar to the older mans. Under it he had on a black shirt and pants with black boots. He stood agt about 3'8", putting his age at about six or seven.
"I'm sorry sir. Its just, I kind of wanted to go and get some cookies from the baker." His voice was squeaky, like a mouse. The larger man nodded and motioned with his hand to follow as he walked into the square, the boy following. When he got there, he sat on a bench, the boy being allowed to run off to the merchants.
The man sighed as he said, "A black dusk always makes way for the Red Dawn."
Jiemma, after hearing the coded phrase, sat down next to the intimidating man. He leaned back slightly, and spoke in a casual tone. "It certainly is a beautiful day. But, as for me, I prefer the Dawn."
"And why is that?" The man asked.
"A bright and Red Dawn is a beauty that many cannot pass up." Was his answer. The man seemed to study Jiemma, making the elder man sweat. After a minute the man stood.
"Follow me. We must discuss something." The man growled out.
He lead the Guild Master out of the square, both of their followers in pursuit.
They were led to a secluded area outside of Konoha in the Ironwoods. A clearing with a table and chairs. After all of them were seated, introductions were made.
"My name is Kakuzu of the Five Hearts. The boy next to me is Gama. Are you the representatives from Sabertooth?" The now named Kakuzu asked.
Jiemma nodded and answered. "Yes we are. Now, before we continue can you answer a few questions, such as, how is your guild structured?"
Kakuzu sighed and said. "Fine. Our guild is based off of a system of ten. The cloaks we wear indicate our positions in the guild. There is one clouded officer, and one nine clouded officer. You get the meaning. All officers over three clouds are allowed an apprentice, and the only ten clouded officer is the Master, who is the strongest in the guild. As you can see, I am a nine clouded officer, making me an elite mage.
"Apprentices don't get clouds until they have faced the trials and gained a satisfactory amount of strength and the approval of his Master, he then challenges a clouded officer for his position. If he beats the officer, he gets the position, if he doesn't, he is put in the normal guild, the ones who take the A-Class missions."
Jiemma was pleased to know of the guild, if only a little bit. "Now that that has been answered, let us go to your guild."
Kakuzu nodded as he stood and went to the center of the clearing. Once there, he flared his power and a complex seal appeared in the field. He then went through some hand signs, confusing the mages from Sabertooth. After a minute, a giant gate appeared that had a door in it. Kakuzu beckoned the mages and as he opened the door, swallowing them up.
(Akatsuki Guild, Portcullis hall)
The mages appeared in a large room with ten circles in it. Kakuzu stepped out of the circle and the mages followed, amazed at the guild. All over the walls were pictures of mages and their achievements, trophies, tapestries, and doors leading to various rooms.
After five minutes of walking, they made it to, what they assumed, was the Guild Masters study. Kakuzu knocked and a muffled open came out.
When she stepped into the room, Yukino's eyes widened. The guild master was a tall, and handsome man. He had on a straw hat and a whites helmet/mask with swirls on it. (Tobi's Helmet in the Fourth Shinobi War) He had on an open black cloak with ten clouds on it, revealing his attire, which was a black, long sleeved shirt, black gloves, pants, and boots with white leg warmers. Beside him near his desk was a large sword shaped like a butcher knife.
Sitting in front of the fire place in the warm and open aired study of the Akatsuki leader was a horse sized, blood red, nine-tailed fox. It currently had its eyes open, the blood red orbs watching every move they made.
The mysterious guild master was leaning back in his chair, studying them with one crystal blue eye. He reached into his desk and pulled out a folder and read it. He hummed and snorted at what he was reading before putting it down. He spoke in a calm, authoritive, yet soft voice, Kakuzu.
"Kakuzu, would you kindly fetch Team 7 for me? There are some discrepancies that need to be sorted out. If Kon gives you lip, smack him in the head for me." Kakuzu seemed to grin at that, nodding as he set off on his assigned task.
The man regarded Jiemma now, before motioning for the elderly man to sit in the chair opposite him. After the man settled, he spoke. "I have invited you here to think about a guild alliance. As you know, the Akatsuki isn't recognized as a guild by the Council. With the help of Sabertooth, I hope to change that. You are currently the strongest guild in Fiore, and have a very well kept record. However, in order for a more… permanent… alliance, we need to understand each other."
The man took a breath before continuing. "As such, please allow myself the honor of an introduction. My name is Naruto Senju, and I your guild caught my attention by having my childhood friend, Yukino Aguaria, as a member."
Yukino's breath hitched as the man, now known as Naruto, took off his straw hat and mask. The man was, for lack of a better word, gorgeous. He had pitch black hair with white streaks in it, like lightning. He had deep scars on the left side of his face, and had a black headband wrapped around his eye. His hair was spiky and untamed, reaching to the nape of his neck.
Naruto looked at Yukino with a small, soft smile as he said. "It has been a very long time, Yukino. I see you have grown into a fine woman."
Yukino sputtered. "B-but, you were taken! What happened?"
Jiemma was about to scold her for speaking to a Guild Master like that, but stopped at Naruto's laughter. He laughed and laughed, tears coming from his eyes as he calmed down. "I was taken and trained by some of the most powerful Mages in Fiore. They taught me to control my magic and how to use it. Now, I must ask that all questions be saved for a bit longer as my troublesome apprentice and his Team need to have a talking to."
A group of three children (Konohamaru Corps.) walked in, all of them wearing plain black shirts. The leader, Konohamaru, walked forward. "Master, if this is about that prank…"
Naruto cut him off. "No, this is about a new S-Rank mission I have for you."
Konohamaru perked up at that, he and his team hadn't been allowed to take any S-Rank missions yet, as they were still training. "Yeah? And what is it?"
Naruto got serious and said. "An escort mission. You will be in charge of guiding Jiemma and his group in their exploration of the guild and answer any of their questions, provided that they aren't about Guild secrets. Show them the library and training grounds. Even the cafeteria. Dismissed!"
Team 7 saluted as they walked out, the Sabertooth mages following. Naruto spoke up. "Yukino, please stay. We need to talk about the promise."
