Finished this story a bit early so here is a new chapter of Fairy Tail Shadow! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Anything written is purely my own thoughts.
Naruto thought hard once more on who this mystery woman was but there was something about her voice. He knew he had heard it before. Then he remembered what happened at the tower of heaven. "Mom?"
"Bingo! That's right Naruto. I'm your.." Kushina was cut short when Naruto hugged his mother tightly.
"Mom!"
'He's taller than Minato.' Kushina thought to herself as she tightly hugged Naruto back.
Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Part 3: Chapter 11: The Grand Magic Games Arc Part 6: A mother's love.
Location: Tenrou Island.
(Deep inside Naruto's mind)
Embarrassing her child for the first time Kushina slowly tightened her hug. Naruto soon found himself struggling to breath. "M... Mom..."
Realizing what she was doing Kushina let go. "Sorry Naruto."
"I've always wanted to meet you mom. y'know" Naruto felt like crying as he fought back his tears. The darkness that was surrounding Naruto then disappeared as he looked at his mother smiling at him.
"Y'know huh? I guess as well as my looks you got my verbal tick too. Haha." Kushina laughed away as her son as well soon found himself laughing. "Now I know you you'll have a lot of questions but I'll start with why i'm here. When Minato sealed the Nine Tail inside of you he put a small part of my chakra within you. I've been waiting so long for this moment Naruto. But we'll talk later but first things first, we have to deal with the Nine Tails."
Naruto nodded. "Right!"
(Naruto vs The Nine Tails)
(Fairy Tail 2014 Theme - Battle version OST)
'Mom...' Naruto's thoughts were filled with his mother's warmth as he yelled out loud pushing the dark will of the Nine Tails out of his body. "He... He couldn't have!" The Nine Tail watched with a stunned look on his face.
"Well done Naruto." Master Mavis was both excited and relieved when she seen Naruto fighting off the will of the Nine Tails.
(Mavis' Grave)
Gildarts watched as the red chakra around Naruto vanished into the air. "He's doing it! He's actually doing it!" Gildarts cheered.
(Naruto's mind space)
"MULTI SHADOW CLONE!" Nearly a thousand clones surround the Nine Tails.
"I'm not done yet!" The Nine Tails fought to free his body from the golden chains pinning him to the ground. Upon breaking free from most of the chain he had manged to stand up on his feet once more.
The Naruto clones were still continuing there charge towards the Nine Tails. The group in total split themselves and aimed with two attacks.
"FIRE STYLE!"
"WIND STYLE!"
"GREAT FIREBALL!"
"AIR BULLET!"
Both attacks merged as form a gigantic blaze. The blaze slowly turned blue from the immense heat that was caused by the flames mixed with the gases for the air bullets. The scale of the attack overwhelmed the large body of the Nine Tails.
The Tailed beast quickly used all of it's nine tails to shield itself from the blue flames. When the flames submerged it had singed the fur from the Nine Tail's tails. "You'll pay for that... NARUUUUUTOOOOOO!" The Nine Tails then charged a large ball of light and dark chakra. The large soon condensed as the Nine Tails then swallowed the small dense ball of black chakra. "TAILED BEAST BOMB!" Burning brightly the ball of chakra flew towards Naruto.
(Counterattack Signal OST)
Naruto tried to outrun the attack but was about to find himself overwhelmed. Thinking quickly he tried to see if he could use his magic freely in his mind like his chakra. "METEOR!" Flying with a golden aura around his body Naruto flew above the attack and quickly marked seven seals above the Nine Tails. "GRAND CHARIOT!"
A bombardment of light crashed down on the Nine Tails. The impact destroyed the ground below the Nine Tails as it flew dust into the air. With a swipe of it's tails the air soon cleared the area but standing with a clone beside him Naruto ran towards the Nine Tails. The clone's left hand was charged with a Chidori and the real Naruto's right hand was charged with a Rasengan.
Both attacks merged into a single attack one as the lightning swirled in the palm of Naruto's hand. Letting go of the Chidori the clone slowed down and threw two kunai in front of Naruto as he continue'd to run towards the Nine Tails. "SHADOW CLONE!"
Two clones appeared and raijin'd to the flying kunai. Slowing down they lifted their legs into the air and the real Naruto jumped between them. They each kicked the real Naruto forward towards the Nine Tails. Naruto lifted the attack in front of him with it acting as the head of a spear.
The Nine Tails then tried to swipe Naruto away with his claws and he flew towards him. But he soon felt the chains tighten and unable to balance himself he fell backwards.
Naruto then yelled out as he unleashed his attack. "LIGHTNING STYLE: THUNDERING RASENGAN!" The sheer force of the attack launched the Nine Tails backwards at an amazing speed.
Naruto's chakra just managed to grab hold of the Nine Tail's chakra just before it was sent flying backwards from his attack. Naruto had manged to separate the Nine Tails from his chakra as well as his will. The large mass of the Nine Tail's chakra slowly moved into Naruto's body. With the Charka now in his body it transformed and what look like an orange flame covered his body.
"YOU DID IT!" Master Mavis was jumping up with joy.
"You... You bastard! I'll... I'll kill you all!" The Nine Tails appearance had changed as he now looked like the life had been sucked right out of him. He once more charge a giant lump of chakra ready to attack once more.
"Amazing..." Naruto was left in awe over the shear power the Nine Tails still held. "But it's over now." Naruto lowered his hand as a giant gate fell from the sky and pinned the Nine Tails' neck to the ground. Naruto then re-sealed the Nine Tails once more in his body.
The Nine Tails looked at Naruto in shock as in his new form it reminded him of someone from his own past. "The Sage of the Six Paths?" But knowing it was still Naruto the Nine Tails gave up on the fight and drifted off into a sleep to recover. "I won't forget this Naruto."
(Naruto and Kushina)
Having finished off with the Nine Tails Naruto could finally meet up with his mother in peace. "When ever the seal activated I was both scared and happy. To finally meet my son and help him take control of the Nine Tail's power. We both wanted to help you however we could. You have no idea how happy I am to see you all grown up."
Naruto looked like he wasn't listening at all as he smiled looking at his mother. "Hey, are you even listening?" Kushina asked with a confused look.
"Ha ha I am. I'm just happy that my mom's so good looking. But with that cool red hair you really do look a lot like Erza but with my face it seems."
"Thank you for the compliment but I am sorry you ended up with my looks but you have got your fathers hair."
"Why are you sorry? If my mom's a pretty and I look like her than that would make me a hunk, right? And I don't know wither to be upset or glad that I haven't got you really pretty hair. I think it would look good on me but then if I did have red hair me and Erza would end up looking like brother and sister haha."
"You're the second man who ever compliment me on my hair."
"I am? Who's the other one?"
"Haha your father of course!"
"Oh yeah that reminds me. I've always wanted to ask you this question."
"Fire away!"
"How did you and dad meet one another. I know I was brought up in another world from the one you lived in but I really wanted to know what it was like."
"Well... When I first arrived to the hidden leaf I was bullied for my red hair."
"And Dad saved you from the bullies right?"
"Nope I beat the ever living snot out of them." Kushina gripped her fist as she smiled. A vein could be clearly seen on her knuckles.
'Me and Levy are scared of Lucy and Minato is terrified of Erza. I'm starting to think all mothers are scary.' Naruto thought to himself as he was too scared to move from fear of his mothers show of anger.
(Fairy Tail 2014 Piano OST)
"I stayed like that for years. Always hating my hair until an incident happened and I was kidnapped. To leave a trail i cut off small lines of my hair and left them lying on the ground. As I was almost taken away for good your father rescued me. He was the only one who noticed the trail of red strands. As he held me, he said he noticed my beautiful hair right away." Kushina blushed when she thought about that memory of when she was a young teenager. Naruto was smiling away having known his mother's story.
"There's a special little something I like to tell the men who compliment me on my hair yourself included Naruto."
"What is it?"
"I love you." Hearing his mother say those words to him for the first time Naruto didn't know what had hit him as he was over come with joy.
"We've watched over you Naruto all these years. I so happy to see you all grown up y'know. Our grandson is so handsome. He's got his father's eyes for sure. He's going to grow up to be strong just like his father, right?" Kushina smiled as he hugged her son. Soon Kushina started to fade away.
"Seeing you now like this makes me think, Hiruzen made the right choice in bringing you to this world. The life of a Jinchuriki is tough back home but seeing you fall in love and seeing your adventures. It makes me smile to see you've even started a family." Kushina started to choke up in her words as tears flowed from her eyes.
"Thanks mom. I've only known you for a short while but having the chance to meet you and talk to you like this. It's made me so happy as well." Naruto fought back his tears but he couldn't hold for too long.
"Hey don't cry. That's my job y'know." Kushina laughed as she wiped away a tear from Naruto's face. " Thank you for letting me be your mother. And thank you for letting Minato be your father. Thank you for being our son. So don't worry about us. We're in a better place." Kushina kissed her son's forehead.
"Now, your friends are gonna need you for these games coming up. I know you can do it Naruto. I believe in you." Kushina then finally faded away from her son's mind. Her chakra had been fully spent.
"Thank you mom."
(Three months later in The Tower of Pandemonium)
Standing alone against ninety nine S class ranked monster Naruto smiled as he remembered his mother's last words to him. 'I believe in you.'
"Yajima did you think he had this in mind?"
"We'll have to find out."
"NINE TAILS CHAKRA MODE!... Let's go!"
(Omake)
(Sorrow Returns OST)
With the last part of her soul returning to heaven Kushina finally meet up with Minato. "It's nice to see your back, Kushina."
"I've missed you." Kushina wiped away a tear from her eye as she hugged her husband.
"So you finally meet Naruto I see. I knew your soul wouldn't rest until you see him."
"Yes. He's grown into a strong man. I'm so proud of him."
"I know. I know. But... Why didn't you tell him of the night we sealed the Nine Tails within him?" Minato asked his wife.
"I don't need to. You sensed their chakra as well didn't you. I'm sure they'll tell Naruto when they're ready." Kushina smiled at her husband as the walked together through the golden fields of the afterlife.
And Cut! I haven't done an Omake in quite a while but i felt it left the chapter with a nice wee touch. Now for the thursday chapter I might be able to post one up as normal but not 100% sure atm as I do have a really busy day so won't be setting anything in stone atm. But we'll be back to the GMG story line in the next chapter so i hope you're all looking forward to it! Now a quick update on the votes so far.
Tibo vs Ichiya
Baachus vs Millianna
Juvia vs Lucy
Sherria vs Flare.
These are the matches so far but since this chapter is on Thursday (if it's out this coming thursday) will be the close date. now it might change on two of these fight so if you really want to see your choice of fight do leave a review or PM myself. PS i won't be revealing the final fights as well be be warned.
Anyway here is this chapters Q&A!
1) Why leave the matches up for a vote? Well these matches are up for a vote cause in the story line itself it's the public who vote (the public from the series not the actual public lol) on who they wish to see fight. I thought why not have it with this story as I feel it would be more interesting I feel to see who you all wish to have me fight.
2) I seen on your profile you are now taking Beta Reading requests. Why the change in Beta reading? I never really had an issue with Beta readers to be honest it just i'm too stubborn to ask for help really lol. But I wanted to give some help to people who needed it. I'm not gonna ask to be anyone's Beta but I someone asked me then I will offer whatever help i can offer.
3) There is a lot of spelling mistakes early in your chapters, are you going to be fixing these? Yes during the break between part 3 and 4 i will be doing a major re-write in that time and I hope to improve the quality of it quite a lot.
So that's all for this chapter folks. I hoped you've all enjoyed it! Till next time!
