Here we go for Part of the S class Arc!
Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Anything written is purely my own thoughts.
"Then we shall board now." Makarov pointed towards the huge ship with the Fairy Tail emblem on it's sail.
"Master were are we going for the S class trail?"
"We're off to Tenrou Island Cana"
Chapter 15: The S Class Promotion Part 2
(In the Southern Sea of Fiore)
The group had been at sea for four days. Cana and Chico had sent most of their time taking tanning sessions on the deck. While Laxus would be seen throwing up for the side of the ship. Naruto thought he must've been sea sick. Naruto was at the front of the ship looking out to the sea. The sky was clear blue not a cloud in the sky. The wind had a light breeze to it was well making it more enjoyable. Gildarts was beside the master they were talking about what way to organize this years trail.
"Hey there's land ahead!" Naruto shouted out causing everyone to turn and look in front of the ship.
"That Naruto is Tenrou Island. The holy ground of the Fairy Tail guild. So try not to destroy it." Naruto sweat dropped in the faith that his grandfather had in him. "I don't destroy every place I go to y'know."
"Say that again when we get back to the guild and you have a look at my desk. Anyway I will tell you all what will happen when we land."
(Tenrou Island)
With everyone off the ship and on the Island they started to relax as Makarov and Gildarts walked up to the four mages.
"So I would personally like to congratulate you all for your work this year. As you know being an S class wizard will mean tougher job request will be on offer for you. But in order to get there. Their will be four paths that you must take. Can I ask you to pull out a ball of of this hat. Each ball has a letter on it telling you what path you must take. This is a test of luck. All paths lead to a battle arena. You will have to face anyone of the three other mages and will only know who you face once you both meet up in the arena. So please come forward in alphabetical order. First up Cana." Gildarts placed a box in front of Cana. Cana pulled out a ball with the letter D.
"Cana has been given the path D. Next Chico" Chico moved forward and pulled out a ball with the letter A. "please don't let this be Laxus."
"Chico has been given path A. Next Laxus." Laxus pulled out the ball with the letter B on it. 'I hope this is Cana's path it will give me the best chance.'
"Laxus has been given path B. Finally Naruto." With only one ball left Naruto pulled out the ball with the letter C.
"And Naruto has been given the path C. You will not know who you will face so I wish you all good luck. Both Naruto and Laxus hoped that they faced each other.
(Naruto)
Naruto was walking through path C. It was the path closest to the shore. He could hear the waves crashing into the rocks. The smell of the sea covered the cave as their was a large opening showing the sea. "This island really is beautiful. I see why first master Mavis wanted her grave to be here. A place like this as a final resting place could make any soul happy for eternity." Little did Naruto know he was being followed by a certain little girl with long blonde hair. "His heart is pure and it's warm... But... their is darkness within him."
Naruto continued to walk the path. He walk past parts where the cave grew bright inside from the crystals glowing a green light. finally he came up into a large opening inside. Looking around he saw a sign hanging from the roof. It said battle. "So your the first to arrive Naruto." Naruto looked around to find Gildarts sitting on a rock.
"Wait I thought we were to fight each other?"
"You are its just your opponent hasn't arrived yet."
The two chatted away for several minutes. Until they started to hear foot steps coming from the other entrance.
"Cana!"
(Naruto vs Cana)
"So its you Naruto. I'm grateful it wasn't Laxus I was facing." Cana was relieved to see Naruto. "Gildarts what are you doing here!"
"It good to see you Cana. I'm not here to fight. I'm going to judge this fight. I will give the winner a map to the first master's grave. Their the S class wizard final battle will be decided. Master is judging the other fight." Gildarts showed a rolled up map to both Cana and Naruto.
"So who ever wins this fight will face Laxus then." Naruto knew Laxus would win against Chico. 'This changes my plans. I can't afford to go full out. I risk not having enough chakra for Laxus.' Naruto was in deep thought.
"Hello! Earthland to Naruto." Naruto was cut from his thought by Gildarts. " As I was saying. This battle will last for thirty minutes. If a winner isn't decided by then both will not advance to the next stage."
(Natsu vs Dist OST)
Cana and Naruto faced off at each other. Gildarts raised his right hand. "Ready... BEGIN!"
Cana threw several cards around Naruto. "SUMMON LIGHTNING!" Lightning shot from the cards but Naruto threw a kunai hitting a pillar of the cave "FLYING RAIJIN!" 'This isn't going to be easy. We both know each others attacks.' Naruto didn't know how to attack Cana with out her knowing.
'He's going to use the flying raijin a lot in this fight. How am I going to stop it.' Cana was thinking a way to counter Naruto's favourite attack. Naruto threw several kunai around the cave. 'She'll think that I'm going to raijin to one of those kunai. What's your next move Cana.' Naruto was starting to play a chess match with Cana.
'Interesting... Very interesting. It's up to Cana to stop Naruto's attacks. Seems he is taking the front foot early.' Gildarts could only guess at what Naruto was planning.
Cana drew cards from her blue pouch. 'I got to pick one that can help me. That's it!' Cana threw a card close to each kunai. "Ha looks like you won't be using the raijin now Naruto. These cards are trap lightning cards step anywhere near one at it will go off. Doesn't matter how fast you can jump one will hit you and then its game over."
"Clever! But I still have a few tricks you haven't seen yet."
"Your not the only one with new tricks EMPEROR'S CHARIOT!" Cana put magical energy into a card and threw it an Naruto. "SHADOW CLONE!" A clone appeared in front of Naruto taking the hit. The moment the card came into contact with the clone it exploded destroying the clone instantly. Naruto ran to the side trying to flank Cana.
(Reverse Situation OST)
Flashback
"Natsu the reason I asked for your help is because your the only one who can tell me if my new attacks are powerful or not."
"Aww yes! What is it tell me tell me!"
"How about I show you."
"My turn FIRE STYLE: FIREBALL!" Naruto put several hand sign together and blew fire from his mouth. It formed a giant ball of fire and moved straight for Cana.
"He can use Fire too from his mouth like Natsu can!" Gildarts was shocked to see this attack.
"Huh" Cana threw two cards to the ground. "WIND EDGE AND PRAYER'S FOUNTAIN!"
"A Unison Raid from one user! But that's impossible!" Gildarts was awestruck by Cana's magical capabilities.
A jet of water and a massive gust of wind came from both cards and both crashed into the fireball cancelling each other out. "Thought you might be able to stop it. Good thing I have a second plan." Naruto put a single hand sign together and after started to form a rasengan in his hand. But instead of his chakra the rasengan was form from fire. Naruto raced towards Cana. 'I-I can't dodge it.' Cana knew she had lost.
"FIRE STYLE: RASENBLAZE!" Naruto's attack struck Cana causing an explosion and sent Cana flying through the cave. She was about to hit the rock wall but was caught by Naruto who place a mark on her upon impact with his rasenblaze.
"The winner is Naruto!" Gildarts called the winner of the fight.
Naruto landed on his feet with Cana. "Sorry for nearly making you hit the cave wall Cana."
"You don't have to worry about that Naruto. I know you wouldn't hurt me." Cana kissed Naruto on his lips Naruto's face turned bright red. "That was my first kiss. It's a thank you for saving me."
"Woo go Naruto haha!" Gildart laughed adding more to Naruto's embarrassment. "Ugh! Shut up you old pervert!" Cana threw a card that landed by Gildart's feet. "Huh?"
"SUMMON METAL BUCKET!" A large metal bucket appeared above Gildarts striking him on his head knocking him out. "I can't beat you in a fight but I can knock out an S class mage with one strike... This world's messed up."
Naruto walked around the cave picking up his kunai as he went along. "So how do you think you'll fair against Laxus?"
"I have no idea. I didn't use too much chakra so I hope I might stand a chance."
"Be careful Naruto. And you better be an S class mage by the time I next see you! Other wise there'll be hell!" Cana handed Naruto the map to Mavis' grave as he walked out the exit. Cana stayed behind and waited for Gildarts to wake up. "Maybe I'll get to tell him next year."
(Master Mavis' grave.)
(Tenrou Island Theme OST)
Makarov was waiting for the the winner of the second match to arrive. He knew that if Gildarts arrived Laxus would be the new S ranked wizard of Fairy Tail. Laxus was getting impatient while waiting to see if he had made S rank or not. Suddenly someone walked up towards the grave. "Ahh you you made it Naruto. Then we can begin the final battle to see who will be come the new S ranked wizard of Fairy Tail."
Both Naruto and Laxus stared at each other. Intent about who they were about to face and excited about the fight ahead.
'Both my grandkids make it to the final. This is going to be a good fight.'
Omake
Natsu and Lisanna came running into the guild with Natsu holding a giant egg over his head. "Look what me and Lisanna found! A Dragon egg!" Excitement was written all over Natsu's face, Lisanna's as well.
"Aw come on Natsu a Dragon's egg? Have you even seen one?"
"Oh course I have Naruto. Igneel showed me one!"
"Wait I thought Igneel was your father."
"He was he showed me a picture." Natsu placed the egg on the ground in front of the bar and everyone in Fairy surrounded the egg. Wakaba, Macao and Lucy joined to see what the fuss was all about. Moments later the egg started to crack.
"It's hatching" Lisanna was excited.
The Egg then lifted up into the air and crack open reveling a bright blue light when the light faded a cat with wings could be seen.
"Woah its a freaken cat!" Wakaba and Macao both spoke at the same time.
"It has wings! Is it a bird?" Grey asked.
"No its a cat. A blue cat." Lisanna answered Grey. The cat flew and landed on top of Natsu's head.
"So what you going to call him Natsu?" Erza asked
"Hmmm Happy!"
Happy opened his eyes and looked around the guild. Happy stopped looking when he seen Naruto.
"Kitty!"
"WHAT? HEY JUST CAUSE I HAVE WHISKERS DOESN'T MAKE ME A CAT!" Naruto comically reacted
Erza placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Its ok Naruto. Happy is only a new born kitten he doesn't know."
"Ohh she liiiiikes you." Erza blushed from Happy's comment.
"That's gonna get old eventually y'know" Naruto retorted
And another one bites the dust! Next chapter will be the final chapter of this Arc So be prepared for the fight most of you have been waiting for NARUTO VS LAXUS! But be fore that Q&A!
1) How come Gray is ranked so low? Well its another 6 years until Gray make it to the S class trail. So my guess was he was slow in his development as a mage.
2) Did Naruto think he wasn't ready because of the last mission? Yes. Its hard to kind of describe but I wanted Naruto to feel that he was depending on Kuruma too much at time to win in big fights.
3) What will have to Lucy McGarden before Cannon? You'll have to wait and see. It seems she has got herself a little fan base lol
4) Why use Yury in Naruto's full name? When Naruto first came to this world only the word Naruto was translated ans so Makarov gave him his father name to use as his middle name. Plus its kind of an Irish thing to have your middle name after one of your great grand parents lol.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Till next time!
