Hey guys i'm back with another chapter of Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow. Here's Part 2 of the Bridge Builder.
The taller of the two figures made the first move and went for the prize its self Tazuna's head he wore four rings one on each thumb and index finger. Charging at Tazuna he unleashed an attack "ELEMENT CONTROL:METAL CLAWS" His hands had transformed into metal and his fingers into blades he was about to make contact with Tazuna when his body suddenly stopped on the spot. He looked down to see that his lower body had been frozen by Gray
"Ice Make: BLOCK!"
The shorter of the two made his way towards Naruto he arrived at his target before his partner got to Tazuna. He stopped behind Naruto who had frozen out of fear.
"Time to clip a few wings from a Fairy!"
Chapter 4: The Bridge Builder Part 2
The shorter of the two attackers unleash his attack. " POISON BULLET!" A bullet of focused magic energy shot out from the attackers index finger as its aim was for Naruto's head. As the bullet moved closer Naruto remained in place still frozen from fear. Reacting in panic he threw his left hand up to block the attack as a last ditch effort saving his life. With the attack failed the attacker moved in for the final blow only to be suddenly stopped by Gildarts upper cutting him into the sky. He held the taller one head in his left hand unconscious.
"I'm sorry Naruto. I knew these two where near by but I didn't expect you to freeze out of fear. I thought when you noticing the pair that you'd step up and work as a team to stop them. Because of my reliance to sit back after your call was a fools call by myself and now you've been injured." Naruto looked at his hand. He wasn't cut but he could see that there was poison in his veins.
"Gray, Cana this mission is over! We're going back to the guild so Naruto can get medical attention."
This is not what Naruto wanted. He knew he was stronger he wanted to get stronger. He started to hate his self for his own fear. He was angry as now his grandfather would have an excuse to not give him a c class request for a long time. he was upset he had let Cana and Gray down as well. He didn't want his first C class mission to end like this he wouldn't allow it. He swore to himself that no one would ever save his life again. He grabbed a kunai from his pouch and stabbed his left hand. He wanted to yell out from pain but this was his punishment for his weakness.
"NARUTO! WHAT ARE YOU?! NO! STOP THAT!" Cana was the first to see what Naruto had done as the rest of the group turned to see what had happened.
"I swear it... By the pain in my left hand... With this kunai knife, I promise you, I... Will protect the old man. I'm not gonna let this request end because of me. Reporting for action, Cana, Gray, Gildarts!" Blood poured from Naruto's left hand the poison was out of his body but there was another problem.
"Naruto... WHY DID YOU STAB YOUR HAND! YOUR GONNA BLEED TO DEATH!" Cana yelled at Naruto. She was angry at him for his actions but inside she was impressed that he could pull off a good speech.
"OH NO I DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH! THIS IS THE END OF THE LINE!" Panic sunk onto Naruto, Gray just face palmed.
"I got bandages and alcohol here don't worry lets clean and cover the wound." Gildart grabbed a first aid kit from his back sack. As he started to clean his wound he noticed that it was already sealed and up the skin was broken.
'My god. He's healed so fast is this the power of the Nine Tails.' Gildarts was deep in thought. "Right so if you guys want to keep this request I'm gonna help you ok. But first I think we need to find who our attackers were."
As Gildarts was dressing Naruto's wound, Cana and Gray made there way to the attacker who Gildarts had tied to a tree before helping Naruto. They were checking for a guild mark and found one on his left bicep. It was a blue fist. Both had never seen this mark before was it from an official guild? They asked Gildarts to take a look at it.
"Mr. Tazuna... I think you need to tell us the WHOLE story. Like why are there members of Titan's Fist after you?" Tazuna knew the jig was up. he then told the story of his home to the group.
"I'm wanted by a real scary man."
Gildarts was confused by this "Real Scary." Tazuna was silent "Tazuna who is this man?"
"You might've heard his name. He is the Billionaire in the field of marine transportation. His name is Gateau."
"Wait you mean the Gateau of Gateau Shipping?! He's said to be the richest man in the world!"
"Yes the image you might know him is that of a legitimate businessman. The truth is he gained his money from bulling small island nations to his will by using dark guilds. Destroying homes and families just so he can get his own way. He lives by every low and vicious trade known to man. Almost a year ago Gateau had set his sight on my home of Onda. He started off buying a business saying he will make the island rich. we all fell hook line and sinker for it too. Next thing we know he controlled the shipping ports, the lifeblood of any island nation. The only thing that he fears now is the building of this bridge."
"Oh now I get it the reason he's after you is because your the architect and overseer of the bridge's construction." Cana started to realise the scale of the task ahead.
"So this mean these Titan's Hand mages work for Gateau." Gray got nervus about taking on a Dark Guild. All this imformation was going over Nartuo's head.
"There is one thing I don't understand. Why was this a C class request? this is an A class at the least." Gildarts spoke up.
"Onda always was a poor nation even the king is poor compared to mayor of cities in Fiore. I have next to no money even if we gathered money from everyone in our island we wouldn't be able to pay for the construction and the protection. But if you turn away from me now... then I'm as good as dead."
"But."
"BUT OH WELL! THAT'S NOT YOUR CONCERN! You won't be there to see my daughter and ten-year-old grandson cry all day like their hearts are breaking." The group sweat-dropped. They knew Tazuna was trying to guilt trip them into staying and protect him. " Oh! And you won't mind if my daughter vows eternal hatred of all mages especially you guild as she lives her life alone! Heck! Well, It's not your fault!"
"Well... I suppose it can't be helped. We'll continue to protect you, At least until you return to your country!" Gildarts was thinking this was the worst request for hire of all time!
'Ha ha Gotcha!' Tazuna was victorious in his attempts.
(Unknown Location in Onda)
"Those two idiots have failed! Why did you send those two again?" Gateau was fuming at Sandayu. "This is your last chance to kill the old man Tazuna or this job is over and you'll not get paid!"
"Do stop whining. Tere's nothing to worry about I, with this demon sword will take the hit by myself."
"... Yessir... But are you sure you really want to? They have hired mages from the guild Fairy Tail." Gateau was trembling as a giant single edged sword was pointing at him.
"Remember who you are talking to! I am Sandayu Momochi! The demon who hides in the mist!"
Other than the attack from the pair from Titan's fist the travel to Onda was uneventful. With the exception of Naruto nearly killing the Captain of the ship that took them from Hargeon to Onda. All because the captain asked if he wanted to try shrimp. Naruto was developing height issues. Gildarts had remained on guard in that time. he barely talked.
"Mr Gildarts may i ask why you wanted to stay?"
"Do you see those kids in front of us Tazuna? They are the future of this guild. But make no mistake they wanted to finish this request. I'm simply guiding them in this path they chose to walk."
Cana, Naruto and Gray were in the front of the group. Gray noticed movement in the hedge by the path in front of them. "Naruto."
"Yeah i see it" Naruto pulled a kunai out from his back pocket and tossed it towards the hedge. They moved closer to toward the hedge pulling it away they saw a white rabbit couring in fear with a kunai knife barely missing the top of it's head.
"Oh no! Oh your poor bunny!" Seeing the fear in the rabit Cana ran over and gave it a hug.
Gildarts had seen the comotion in front of him. 'Hmm a white rabbit in spring. Aren't they supposed to be brown this time of year.' thinking things in his head. listening for any movement he felt a slight rise in magical pressure coming from behind "EVERYONE GET DOWN NOW!"
The group ducked down as fast as they could towards the ground. As a giant sword swung over the top of the cutting the top of Tazuna's hat. The Sword finally stopped when it was imbedded into a tree. the group looked at the sword and noticed a man standing on the sword's handle.
"Well if it isn't the Demon who hides in the Mist. Sandayu Momochi! I knew greater prowess would come after us but i didn't expect that Titan's Fist's master would be the one to follow Tazuna." Gildarts put out both his hands stopping Naruto and gray from charging at Sandayu." This is were i butt in guys. He's mine. This one is in a whole different level. So move back towards the town we just passed. I need room cause I hate holding back in fights."
"You talk too much." Sandayu pulled the sword out of the tree and a second later he was in between Naruto, Cana, Gray and Tazuna. "I'm don't want a long fight so I'll make this quick gahh!" Gildarts was just as fast as Sandayu as he punched him into the ground. " EVERYONE RUN!" The Group ran as fast as they could but Sandayu was already up and blocking their path. "This is were the fight ends. HIDDEN MIST!" Suddenly a tick mist appeared out of Sandayu and covered the surronding area Gildart remained on his own as the rest took defencive postitions around Tazuna.
"Hahaha i must say i find it no surpirse that the demon brothers were stopped so easily. knwing that the Ace of Fairy Tail was part of this group. Hahaha i hope you can give me a good fight Gidarts Clive!" the voice of Sandayu was coming from every direction it was hard to pin point his location.
"Everyone Sandayu is known for his silent killing. every other noice is kept to normal but he bouces his own. this makes it hard to find him so be on your guard he may strike at any time. But the chances are he'll go for me first." just as Gildarts finsihed he turned as using his Crash magic as a defencive barrier he forced Sandayu's sword backwards and punched him back into a tree. Now in sight Sandayu moved towards Gildarts and turned his body into water. Extending his arm he lached onto Gildarts. "WATER PRISON!" Gildarts body was now traped inside a bubble of water with only his head not inside it. "WATE COPY!" Water moved from inside Sandayu and form a copy of himself. The copy moved towards the giant sword that was lyig by the tree. " I'll let you watch Gildarts as i kill these kids."
Well thats Part 2 over with now. Sorry for the delay in this chapter. I had a few thing popping out at me with work and home life lol. i've been getting alot of pm's about the last chapter and so i'm going to answer most. i'll keep the name black as I don't want to name and shame everyone is intilled to their own.
1) Why use Land of Waves Arc? Simple this Arc is one of the most important arcs in Naruto. It's important because its when Naruto learns his Ninja Way and the first real time he uses the Kyuubi. plus its right after the introduction arc.
2) Pairings? Honest abut this i've no idea at the moment and not planning on putting any in soon. Reason at this moment Naruto is an idiot. So any chance of love or women interested in him will go over his head. just look at poor Hinata. it took her jumping in to save his life and nearly dying to have Naruto notice her.
3) What was with all the FMA references? Naruto in Part 1 was really sensitive about his height and did jump to towards Tazuna shouting that he would kill him. so instead of just always writing random rubbish i decided to use Edward Elric's rants as they make me laugh. Simple, I see it more of a homage.
Finally 4) Why did Naruto tell Gray he had the Nine Tails inside of him and that he was from another world. (alot of message asking this one) Ok i just gonna say this. Naruto doesn't have to fear what he is in this world. if he was in Konoha he would'nt even know that he had the Kyuubi inside of him at this point but he had been told this by Obito in his letter. Plus Mirajane had a demon iside of her so its not like the others are going to hate him for him that not what the members of Fairy Tail are like.
Anyway i hope you enjoyed this Chapter i'll try to have part 3 and 4 ready soon. Till next time.
