"Everyone Sandayu is known for his silent killing. Every other noise is kept to normal but he bounces 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 finished he turned as using his Crash magic as a defensive 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 latched onto Gildarts. "WATER PRISON!" Gildarts body was now trapped inside a bubble of water with only his head not inside it. "WATER COPY!" Water moved from inside Sandayu and form a copy of himself. The copy moved towards the giant sword that was lying by the tree. " I'll let you watch Gildarts as I kill these kids.
Chapter 5: The Bridge Builder Part 3
Slowly Sandayu moved toward the group. Cana was already nervous but when she looked at the evil grin he had in his eyes she froze. Naruto turned towards Cana and he started to fill with rage not with Cana but at Sandayu. He knew what she was going through and knew that its hard to even look at anyone else after.
"Gray."
"Yeah Naruto."
"I've got a plan it's a long shot but it might work. The key to winning is freeing Gildarts. Then we might stand a chance. So follow my lead."
"Got it." With Gray's approval Naruto charged at Sandayu's copy. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Five versions of Naruto surrounded the copy. All of them had pulled out a kunai knife except the real Naruto who held two in a reverse grip. The clone behind moved forward to stab the copy in the back but was quickly beaten with my fast kick to the chin. Two more attacked from the side one was blocked by Sandayu's sword the other was punched in the stomach. Down to two clones Naruto pulled them back. the remaining two clones charged at Sandayu with the real Naruto right behind the pair. Swiftly changing the direction which they ran in, in order to try to keep the copy on its toes. Both Clones were taken out by a quick swing of his sword. With quick hand movement the copy positioned the sword for a final strike that would cut the real Naruto down the middle but was stopped by Naruto's two kunai. They both struggled to gain control and both wouldn't back down.
"I must admit that your movement is excellent for a kid its a shame you have to die so young. I would've enjoyed a fight with an older version of you." Sandayu's copy pulled a smug smile on his face.
"Your forgetting something." The copy had no idea what this kid was talking about. "Your fighting more people than myself in this fight. NOW GRAY!"
Gray took his chance to attack with the copy in a stalemate with Naruto. "ICE MAKE: LANCE!" Several spears of ice launched from Gray's hands at moved toward the copy who at the last moment used his length and kicked Naruto, using the kid as a base to move out-of-the-way from Gray's attack.
'Ice magic this kid is just like...' the copy hadn't time to finish his thought as both Naruto and Gray pressed on with their attacks. Gildarts and the real Sandayu watched the fight from a distance. Gildarts was impressed with the teamwork of both boys considering it was their first job request together.
"Hmm I hate waiting those two brats are getting really annoying. HEY COPY! FINISH THOSE TWO OFF WOULD YA! ITS GETTING EMBARRASSING!" Truth was Sandayu was already embarrassed. Here he was saying to the Ace of Fairy Tail that his copy would kill the brats and they were holding their own against it. Gildart grew a smile on his face. 'Looks like the master has nothing to worry about Naruto and Gray looks like he'll make a fine addition to the guild but Cana... she's frozen. maybe she needs a little push.' The smile fadded as he thought of a way to get Cana unfrozen and focused.
As Cana watched the fight all she could think about was that this was the end. It didn't go through that she could make a difference all noice was blocked out from her mind. She started to hear mumbles. as she foucsed on them more she knew who has calling her.
"CANA! YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT I PROMISE! YOU WON'T DIE I SWEAR ON IT!" Gildarts had finally gotten through to Cana she quickly snapped out of her depression and helped in the fight. Sandayu looked at Gildarts. " You sly bastard. Lying to that little girl. Your more evil than I am y'know."
"I wasn't lying, I'm not gonna let her die!"
"Whatever. If I were you I'd be more concerned about getting out of my water prison." Gildarts remained silent.
The duo of Gray and Naruto got a happy surprise when they seen Cana's Jolt of Fate attack. The copy was starting to worry. It was bad enough that these two punks were a handful but now he was taking on three of them. Suddenly he noticed something. 'Where on Earthland is that orange brat?!' The copy noticed a small hole behind the two mages who had taken defensive positions. hearing a rumble below him he looked down only to find a fist quickly moving towards him. Naruto had dug a hole with his bare hand and tunnelled his way towards the copy, striking the copy on the chin and turning it back to a puddle of water. With the copy beaten Naruto made his way slowly towards Gildarts and Sandayu. He stopped several meters away. Gildarts was proud of the kids they fought albeit a copy of Sandayu and won!
"Good job kids I'm proud! Now I think its time I got out of this trap."
"Wait what?" with out time to think Gildarts focused his magic and using his disassembly magic destroyed the water prison surrounding him.
"Y-you could've gotten out at any time couldn't you?"
"Yes. the reason I didn't was because I'm only on this request to overlook the performance of those kids. But there is a problem here... I can't let the fact you got the better of me in front of those kids. That I cannot allow" Gildarts raised his magical pressure making it hard for everyone surrounding to breathe.
'I-I think its time I made my escape.' for the first time Sandayu had started to panic he tried to run away but was halted by Gildarts blocking his escape. Moving in for the final blow of this fight Gildarts focused his power on his fist. As he was about to strike another player entered the fight. "ICE MAKE: SHIELD!" A boy had jumped in from the hedges and formed an ice shield in front of Gildarts fist taking the blow off the impact and saving Sandayu's life in the process.
'Ice magic! No way... It can't be!' Gray was in shock. The rest of the group was as well. when the dust and cleared they could clearly see a figure of a child not much older than Naruto holding an open hand out. He was wearing a white mask with the dark guild emblem on it. "Master let us make our escape. ICE MAKE: SOLID WALL!" A ten foot high wall appeared as the duo made there escape. Gray walked up to the wall. Touching it he was taken back by the skill in the maker.
"It's really strong magic he used but it doesn't feel like master Ur's magic I wonder who it was that taught him?"
"Gray, now isn't the time foe that I'm afraid. we are almost at Tazuna's home we can rest and talk there. Naruto go get Tazuna I think he hide behind one of the trees as you made your first attack."
"No need I saw the fight. I was just protecting myself in cause shit went south."
'He really shows great faith in us' The present members of Fairy Tail all thought the same thing as they each formed a sweat drop on the back of their heads.
With all the commotion of earlier in the day over with and night starting to set in the group from mages were discussing. "Right with Sandayu still alive we'll have to have someone guarding Tazuna at all times. Naruto and Cana I want you two be on the first cover. I'll cover the day after. With that sorted lets see if we can get some rest."
Gray didn't know why Gildarts had left him out of the protection duty. "Wait Gildarts what about me? What the hell am I going to do?"
"Your going to train Gray." The Ice Mage wasn't expecting this answer. "The kid also uses Ice Make magic. so you'll have to deal with him. And as you said earlier he is stronger than you at the moment."
"That reminds me where on Earthland did that kid come from?" Cana thought out load.
"Doesn't matter." Everyone turned to face Naruto. "Point is we now know that he is there and have to plan with him and Sandayu in mind."
"Y'know for an idoit you do make sense from time to time"
" What you say little miss frozen?!"
"Huh? You say something Tangerine?"
Cana and Gildarts looked at each other. 'Looks like they're a it again.' Both thought the same thing.
(The secong morning after)
Naruto and Cana had already done their shift and it was Gildarts turn today. It was a fairly quite day and Naruto used his clones to help with the contruction as well. He diceded he would go help Gray with his training by having a little spar with the Ice Mage. Cana stayed behind and helped Tazuna's daughter Tsunami with housework.
"Thank you for staying after hearing the full story. i don;t know what the people of Onda would do if we couldn't compleate this bridge."
"Oh there really is no need for thank you. After all Naruto was the one who didn't want the job request to end. He's stubborn like that."
"That guy's an idiot!" Both women turned to find Tsunami's son Inari. " He's too loud too."
"Well we can't say that dear, they are helping us get through this."
"I DON'T CARE! NOTHING WE CAN DO WILL CHANCE THAT! WE'LL NEVER BEAT GATEAU!" Inari run off out of the house leaveing his mother depressed.
"I'm sorry about my son. He used to be so happy. Before..." Tsunami didn't finish.
"Don't worry we WILL be ok not only do youhave the Ace of Fairy Tail but you have three of the strongest kid from Fairy Tail!" Cana didn't ave the heart to say that they sere the only three kids in Fairy Tail.
Elsewhere Naruto and Gray had had their spar fight. Naruto didn't want to admit it but Gray pushed him far. Feeling tired Naruto sat by the base of a large tree and fell alseep. Hours later he woke up seeing a bueitful figure standing in front of him. he had even seen someone so cute before.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up my name is White."
