Here we go with Part 8 of the Tenrou Island Arc. Enjoy
Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Anything written is purely my own thoughts.
Naruto watched this in horror. He was barely able to move and Erza was getting wiped off the face of the earth before his own two eyes. Azuma Gathered more roots to better grab hold of Erza. This time see was finished. "I RELEASE THE MAGIC OF TENROU ASLEEP WITHIN THE EARTH! TERRA CLAMARE!"
A massive explosion engulfed Erza as Naruto could hear her screams of pain. "ERZAAAAAA!" When the flames disappeared Naruto only seen her lifeless body lying motionless. "...No..." Naruto then felt a sudden dark surge from with in him.
"It's time." The roots around Naruto disappeared as a dark red aura surrounded his body and engulfed Naruto within it. Naruto was no more. All that was in his place was a six tailed demon.
"What is this?"
"RAAAAAHHHHH!"
Part 2: Chapter 26: Tenrou Island Arc Part 8
(Six Tails vs Azuma)
(Akatsuki OST)
Azuma stared at the demon beast that was once Naruto.
"What the hell are you?" He beast didn't give Azuma time as he charged instantly towards him. The beast slapped Azuma into the roots of the giant tree. "He's powerful... I fought the wrong Fairy." The beast roared into the air. His cries could be heard over the entire island. Bones then started to surface from the beasts red/black 'skin.' A fox skull appeared over the beasts head.
"I have to stop it quickly. This could get out of hand." Azuma extended his hand as roots quickly grabbed hold of the beast.
"RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The beast roared as it easily broke free once more. It then started to gather blue and red balls of charka focusing it towards it's mouth. It fired this attack towards Azuma.
"TREE SHIELD!" Azuma pulled the roots around him a formed a solid wall. The wall stood strong and forced the blast upwards and into the sea. The explosion caused a mini earthquake and also caused a huge tsunami to crash into the island. "Such.. Such power. It would make even master Hades look like a mere ant. How could his body contain such power?"
The beast once more roared at Azuma the sound wave caused the dark mage to be pushed backwards and or the roots to break from the force. "I'll have to act fast it's getting stronger! LINEAR EXPLOSION!" A perfect line of explosions cut off the beast from moving towards Azuma as he merged in to the tree roots. When he appeared he quickly made the small roots grabbed hold of the beast's limb and immobilize him. "CHAIN BURST!" The roots exploded around the beast's arms, tails and legs but it still was standing.
"I have no other choice then but to use that... GIANT GOLEM!" Azuma merged into the roots. most of the roots then formed a giant version of the Grimoire mage. "This uses a lot of my magic to hold and maintain in this form. You should be honoured." The beast did not reply but simply garbs hold of the ground tightly as two more tails spouted out.
Muscles began to form over the beast's body and bones. Azuma didn't have much time to ponder over Naruto as the beast striked. The beast swug it's claws at the giant and slashed through it. Azuma counter with a punch directly to it's face. The beast fell backwards as the shock wave destoryed most of the remaining roots. The beast then sent a single tail forward and grabbed hold of the giant's neck. The giant grabbed hold of the beast. "I'm not going to go down that easily! TERRA CLAMARE!" Azuma sent the energy built inside of the giant directly into the beast. Caught in it's explosion the beast crashed into the ground.
"How.. How can it still have hold!" The beast's tail still had a grip of the giant's neck as the beast stared upwards growling towards the golem.
Erza was slowly waking up. Her body was hurting all over. She seen the battle scene in front of her. It was the first time she had seen Naruto in this form. She was scared. "Naruto..." The beast payed on heed to her calls. The beast tightened it's hold on Azuma. "Please... Please stop this NARUTOOOOOOO!" Erza cried out.
The beast continue'd to growl and when it heard Erza's cries it turned it attention towards the re-quip mage. It quickly finished off the giant as it snapped its neck. Azuma's body fell to the ground and the beast stepped on his body as it was lying on the ground.
The eight tailed beast began to move towards Erza. "RE-QUIP: ADAMANTINE ARMOUR!"
(Naruto's mind space)
Naruto stood in his inner mind holding on to his own head."No... No... No... What can I do?" He wanted someone to help him.
"Destroy... Destroy everything... " The Nine Tails spoke to Naruto. "Give me your heart. I will save you from this pain." Naruto stomach ached in pain as shit jonin vest and shirted ripped apart to show the seal slowly breaking down.
"Come here and tear this seal off." Naruto's body slowly floated up and as he placed a finger on the seal a yellow flash appeared and stopped his hand from moving. "YOU!" The Nine Tails roared at the mystery man appearance.
"The seal is set to that if the eighth tail is released I'll appear with your consciousness. I didn't want that to happen.. I never want to see you again.. Nine Tails. But. I looked forwards to seeing how my son had grown. So I guess you could call it even."
"Wait... So you're my..." Naruto was stunned
"Yes Naruto. Like I said, you're my son.."
"FOURTH HOKAGE!"
"This guy never shuts up... Let's go somewhere else." Minato clicked his fingers and sent both of them into a clear white space still within Naruto's mind. "Naruto I know this can be a lot to take in at one time but." Minato was cut short as he looked at his son. Tears flowed from his son's eyes.
(Nightfall OST)
"I'm losing everything before my eyes. I know why I've been sent to this world. I know that they wanted to give me a better life but.. I can't stand this! Everything I do only makes things worse. I had my first ever fight with the woman I love and now she's... She's dead!"
Minato looked at Naruto. "I know what it's like to lose someone Naruto. It's a path that everyone must walk close to or walk down on their own time. But Erza isn't dead."
"What?" Minato showed Naruto a view of what his body was doing. "How is that possible?"
"She's strong Naruto but i'm afraid she's fighting you Naruto. The Nine Tails took control when your guilt and anger became too powerful for you too hold in any more."
"Am I really doing this?" Naruto didn't want what to do or say next as he watched the Nine Tails fight Erza. Erza was dodging the beast attacks very well as could taking minimum damage.
Minato placed his hands on Naruto's gut and right arm "I'll redo the seal. But this will be the last time..." Minato then fixed the seal on Naruto's stomach. "I've also left you a little gift for you. You'll know what to do with it when the right time comes. I've watched over you all this time Naruto... And know this. I'm so very proud of you!" Minato smiled at Naruto as his body turned to light and faded away.
Naruto wiped away the tears in his eyes. "Thanks... Dad."
Erza had re-quipped into her flight armour and her speed was keeping her alive in this fight. She couldn't attack the beast as every time she could get close a tail would try to flick her away like some small fly. But soon the beast had her cornered. "I didn't think it would end like this..." Erza closed her eyes and braced herself, but before the beast could deal the final blow she heard an explosion. When she opened her eyes she seen Naruto standing in front of her. "Naruto.."
"Erza... I'm... I'm so sorry." Naruto fell to his knees in front of her. Expecting Erza to hit him she instead hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry for what I said. If I had never said those words I don't think this would've turned out the way it did." They each other tightly but they could not leave just yet.
"A touching moment. But I can't let it end like this." They both turned to find Azuma standing above them. "I must say Naruto. I've heard about you strengh but I never expected that."
"You're one of the seven am I correct?"
"Yes."
"Then allow me to end this fight."
"Naruto you can't you've almost had the Nine Tails dragged out of you your heart." Erza pleads were cut off by Naruto.
"I know but... I feel... Fine." Naruto walked in front of Erza. "I'll end this with one blow."
(Fairy Law OST)
"So shall I." Azuma prepared himself. Naruto bowed his body down pointing both hands down as well. When he lifted his right hand towards the sky it started to darken as the clouds swirled above. "What is this?"
"TRUE HEAVENLY BODY MAGIC: SEMA!" From the centre of the swirling cloud a giant meteor fell from the heavens above.
"I am no match." The impact caused a massive explosion and left a wide gaping crater. Azuma body was lyinig in the centre. Unable to move the curse of his magic started to take over his body.
"You're body!" Erza cried out as sprouts began to form over Azuma's body.
"It's a side effect when I use too much of this magic... As I promised I've given back everyone's magic. At least I can die knowing I lost to two worthy opponents." Those were Azuma's last words on this earth. A tree grew in the place were his body lied.
(Gildarts vs Bluenote)
(Fire Dragon vs Flame God OST)
Gildarts was currently lying on the ground as Bluenote stamped on him repeatedly. "So without his magic power, even Gildarts is nothing but Garbage." Bluenote's foot was suddenly stopped by Gildarts. "Is it back?"
"How am I supposed to present the pristine dignity of a test examiner now that you've rustler me all up? I have to try and set a good example for the kids, at least!" Gildarts flipped Bluenote up into the air and quickly pulling himself up back slapped him away.
"YES! Just like that Gildarts! Let's really get this fight started! It's about time we both started getting serious!" Bluenote extended both of his hands forward and focused his magic between them. A small black ball of magic started to form. "BLACK HOLE!"
"What is this?" Gildarts asked as he was slowly being pulled towards the spell.
"A point of infinite gravity that will swallow up everything!" Bluenote then started to laugh like a mad man. "FLY!FLY!"
Gildarts extended his hand towards the spell. He focused his magic in its core. Cracks soon began to appear on it. "It's cracking!?" Bluenote started to sweat.
The spell soon disappeared. "If you want to fly that badly. Shall I send you flying?" Bluenote couldn't reply. He slowly started to backtrack but Gildarts rushed towards him. "CRUSHING EVIL: EMPYREAN!" With a swift uppercut Gildarts smashed into Bluenote's jaw. The impact cause a slight delay until Bluenote was sent flying into the air. With the Grimoire mage now gone from sight Gildarts fell to the ground. "I'm getting too old for this shit."
(Naruto)
"So what do you plan to do next?" Erza asked Naruto.
"Erza. I want you to go and back up Gray and Natsu. Knowing them they'll likely be willing to fight Hades. Lucy and Wendy should be close by as well. It's your team and they'll need their ace." Naruto smiled at Erza.
"But what about you?"
"There's something I have to do first. But don't worry There seems to be a storm coming. And it's bringing lighting." Erza didn't know what Naruto meant but she trusted him as they both left on there separate ways.
Naruto walked for several minutes when he had finally found who he was looking for. He found Juvia and a pink haired mage. A strange blonde mage with half of the Grimoire crest as on his chest and he was holding on to his target. The laughed like a mad man as he taughted the pink haired mage. "But the one who destroyed that town was Ultear!"
"That is.. A.. Lie." Meredy started in cry while she was on the ground.
"You'd be wise to drop him." Naruto ordered Zancrow to drop Zeref.
"Who the hell are you?" Zancrow looked at Naruto filled with rage.
(Strangeness OST)
"Acnologia.." Zeref softly spoke out. He looked in Zancrows eyes a powerful and dark blast covered the area. Suddenly Zancrow fell to the ground dead. "I'm sorry. I didn't even know you name." Zeref closed Zancrow's eyes. "It appears the others are also ok as you're still standing... Naruto."
"How? How do you know my name?" Naruto looked at Zeref stunned.
"Our worlds are somewhat connected. They are almost two sides to the one coin. Not like Edolas and Earthland like you friends think so."
Confused as Naruto was he quickly snapped out of his trance. "That doesn't matter right now. I don't wish to fight you as I have no intentions of dying but I'm here to order you... Leave this island at once." Naruto coldly stared at Zeref. He knew of the legend of the black mage but he had to protect his friends.
"I will leave. I am not an ally to anyone. I am not an enemy to anyone. But still if an age is about to end right now. I might awaken once again. I hope to see you soon Naruto Uzumaki." And with that Zeref walked away.
"U.. Zu.. Maki? Is that my real name?"
"Your fight was never going to be me Naruto. Mine is with Natsu. You shall face someone who even I fear." Naruto did not hear these words As Zeref vanished without a trace.
And cut! Not much of a big cliffhanger this time but a few question being asked lol. Well only two more chapters left of part 2. I hope to have them both up before Sunday but I will have at least one up for you before then. So without further due here is this chapters Q&A!
1) Why the long break between Part 2 and Part 3? Two reason for this. First reason is I'm going to be extremely busy between work and sports during the summer and with my other hobbies I'm gonna find it extremely hard to do all at the same time. Second reason is I want the Fairy Tail manga to get further ahead before the break between Part 3 and 4. At the rate I write I can catch up to the manga pretty quickly lol and I want to keep it close to cannon but with my own twist of course.
2) Why have Erza's fight with Azuma almost like Naruto vs Pain? I wanted part 2 to end with a bang. And having Naruto meet his father was in my mind a perfect way to do so. It's something that I loved about Naruto and I wanted to have this brought into this FanFic as well. I hope it worked lol.
3) If you could change one thing in Naruto what would it be? There is only one thing I would change and that would be more background as to what the rest of the Bijuu did after the fianl battle but I'm secretly hoping the anime would clear that up lol.
That's all for this chapter folks. As usual if you have any questions feel free to review or PM myself. I hoped you've all enjoyed this chapter. Till next time!
