So here we go with another chapter of Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Anything written is purely my own thoughts.
"Natsu... Take care of little Lucy for the moment." Naruto then placed his right hand on Natsu's shoulder.
"Wait!" Natsu shouted out before he disappeared. Once gone Naruto held a kunai.
"Think he'll be mad?"
Naruto slowly responded as he put the kunai to his mouth and bit. With his hands free he re-quipped a sword in reverse grip. "Not my concern. I'll take the God Slayer. You take Rufus, Gray."
Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Part 3: Chapter 27: The Grand Magic Games Arc Part 22: Round 2 (Doubles) Part 1
Naruto and Gray slowly walked out into the arena as the crowd roared but the roar quickly quieted down as they did not see Natsu walk out beside Naruto. Rufus raised an eye brow when he seen this as well.
"Well I didn't expect Team Fairy Tail to be making a substitution just before a match. Tell me... Why isn't the dragon slayer with you?" Rufus asked as he narrowed his eyes towards Naruto wanting an answer.
"Not like it matters to us. We'll still beat the down of you into the dirt." Orga commented.
"Well our little Lucy is still healing up and Natsu was more concerned about her than this fight." Naruto lied to the mages of Sabertooth as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Do you think they know the real plan?" Gray quietly asked Naruto.
"Maybe... I'm not too sure at the moment. Just remember we're only testing the limits of their power. Just like Master Mavis asked us to. So don't worry about getting one back on Rufus in this fight."
"I know that. I have a feeling this isn't going to be the last time I will have to fight him... And I don't like that feeling." Gray gritted his teeth as he spoke to Naruto.
Meanwhile in the stands the rest of Fairy Tail were relieved Naruto had managed to get Natsu out of this fight. "I don't know how he did it but what ever he's done has worked. I just hope your plan works out First Master." Makarov spoke as he tried o hold back his nerves over this fight.
"I hope so as well Sixth Master."
"Well it seems Team Fairy Tail have made a last minute change. So let the match BEGIN!"
Naruto quickly ran off towards Orga but stopped right in front of the god slayer daring him to attack.
"Oh so I get the guy who went toe to toe with a wizard saint. Tell me do you think you can dodge this?" Orga taunted Naruto. Naruto simply smiled behind the kunai in his mouth as he stared at Orga.
"120MM BLACK LIGHTNING CANNON!" A beam of lightning shot towards Naruto at near the speed of light. Before Orga's attack landed at Naruto another louder screech of light could be heard before Orga's attack rushed past Naruto.
"What the!?" Orga looked onwards in shock.
"So the Chidori really can split lighting in half. huh." Even Naruto looked at bit surprised after what just happened. Orga then noticed the katana blade Naruto was carrying. It was surrounded in blue lighting.
Meanwhile with Rufus and Gray the two mages were continuing to stare each other down. "Aren't you going to attack me?" Rufus asked Gray.
"I could ask you the same question. And beside... You can't beat me twice." Gray stated back towards Rufus.
"Confident aren't we. Let's fix that. MEMORY MAKE: COLORFUL SLASHING ATTACK FLAMES!" Rufus summoned a blast of red flames surrounded by lightning towards Gray. Pulling his arms in front of his body Gray tried his best to block the attack. "And let's finish you off with this since you're an ice mage. MEMORY MAKE: KARMA OF THE BURNING LAND!"
Slamming an open palm into the ground the ground below Gray began to heat up as a blast of heat bursted upwards and the inferno surrounded Gray.
With Naruto and Orga it seemed to many in the crowd that Naruto was merely toying with the Sabertooth mage. "Sit still you bastard!" Orga shouted out of frustration.
Orga continue'd to fire blast after blast of black lightning towards Naruto. Naruto simply dodged them by throwing his kunai away and raijin'd toward it. "You must be getting tired by now, surely."
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE LIGHTNING GOD'S BELLOOOOOOOOW!" Firing a blast of black lightning from his mouth Orga's attack was heading straight towards Naruto.
This time Naruto didn't try to dodge it. "LIGHTNING STYLE: CHIDORI BLADE!" Channeling the chidori into the katana Naruto cut the god's bellow in two and he continue'd to run towards Orga.
Orga started to panic and fired blast at close range towards Naruto. Without the need of his kunai Naruto ducked underneath the blank rage attack as he moved upwards to attack. But instead of using the sword's blade Naruto used the pommel of the sword and smashed it into the side of Orga's head. Orga spun and crashed into the walls of the arena out cold from the heavy strike to the head.
Naruto turned towards Rufus as he seen Gray barely standing from Rufus' last attack. Gray was breathing heavily but was still standing and wasn't backing down. "It's great to see you're still standing Gray. Was kind of worried after his last attack.
Gray laughed slightly as he turned to walk towards Naruto. "He's strong but he's got nothing on Natsu's flames." Gray commented towards Naruto but stopped and turned to face Rufus one more time. "You pride yourself over your memories so remember this. This match ended in a draw between us. Next time I'll be sure to finish it. He's all yours Naruto."
Naruto and Gray high fived as Gray walked towards the arena exit. "Nice job Gray."
"Tagging yourself into a match you were not part of. You show little faith in your team mate." Rufus stated as he started to stare down at Naruto.
"Little faith huh... I don't see it like that. he never lost to you. you couldn't beat him."
"He never landed a hit on me. I don't see how I didn't win."
"That's true but he didn't fall to the ground. He was still standing. You used two attacks that could've beaten most people in one hit but not Gray. But i'm not surprised since you use borrowed magic."
"Excuse me. I do not see what you mean."
"Then I'll show you. since I already know your weakness, I'll beat you with one attack." Naruto's statement caught Rufus attention.
"Weakness... Fine then. I'll use your magic to beat you then." Rufus said with a smug look on his face. "MEMORY MAKE: TRUE HEAVENLY BODY MAGIC: SEMA!" Above the arena a huge swirling cloud appeared. From the cloud a meteor flew down towards Naruto.
"Copied magic can never suppress the real thing. TRUE HEAVENLY BODY MAGIC: SEMA!" Naruto used the same magic but it was different. The clouds swirled faster and covered a much larger area. And the meteor itself dwarfed the one created by Rufus.
"Im... Impossible!" Rufus stated in shock as the meteor created by Naruto crumbled his own as Naruto's attack was heading directly towards him.
Seeing the panic in Rufus' face Naruto quickly dashed towards the Sabertooth mage.
Before Rufus could react Naruto punched hard into his gut. The wind was completely knocked out of his lungs as Rufus fell to his knees. Naruto then turned towards the meteor as he activated his Nine Tails Chakra mode.
Using the chakra cloak he crated a giant hand and caught his own attack. "REVOLVING FLYING RAIJIN!" The meteor suddenly vanished from above the arena. Several seconds later a bright flash of light was seen several hundred miles away. Moments later a loud crashing sound was heard that made every person in the whole city cover their ears.
Rufus stared at Naruto having lost control over his body. "There was a saving in the scrolls given to me as a child. It took me several years to figure out what it meant. You are an example of it's saying. If you do not possess Heaven, gain knowledge and be prepared. If you do not possess Earth, run through the field and seek strength. You only know. You cannot physically attack. You let your magic protect you but you cannot protect yourself. One hit was all I ever needed to ever beat you. Anything more would just be cruel." Naruto stated as he turned and walked away from Rufus.
Rufus fought his own body to try and stand up but collapsed the moment Naruto finished speaking. "And it looks like Rufus is down! This mean Fairy Tail win another 10pts and finish today's events with a maximum of 20 pts!"
Naruto made his way back to the rest of his team mates as Gray and the other were waiting. "How you feeling?" Naruto asked with a concerned tone.
"Honestly I think I might be able to go a few more rounds hehe." Gray laughed off his pain as he replied.
"BAAAASTARD!" A voice shouted out before Naruto got punched square in the face. "Why the hell did you do that man! I really wanted to fight. You owe me big time you bastard!"
Naruto rubbed the side his cheeks as it started to swell. "I know, I know. It was a dick move but you would've beaten him with out issue same as Gray. But the first master wanted to test his attacking powers and you wouldn't have allowed that."
"I agreed with the decision." Erza stated to Natsu confirming what Naruto said.
"Same here." Laxus as well stated.
"What when did this happen?" A confused Gajeel asked.
"It was when Erza was beating the shit out of Naruto. I'll honestly never look at Italian the same way again." Laxus coldly stated his eyes darkened out. when Laxus made that last statement however Naruto, Gray and Natsu and fell into the fetal position.
A sweat drop appeared on Gajeel. He stared at Erza with a blank face. "Don't judge my methods... It works."
And Cut! So that's all for this chapter folks so let's get started with this chapter's Q&A!
1) Who do you think could win Madara and Hashirama? Well in the battle most seen in the manga and anime you seen madara fight with the nine tails and lost. So if you took it out of this fight and just had Madara and Hashirama i'd fully back Hashirama to win.
2) If you could become an anime character who would you become? Tough one... A really tough one. Honestly I'd go for Trafalgar D. Water Law. He's known as the Surgeon of Death. Plus having the Ope Ope no Mi powers would be amazing. Room!
3) Could you write a Spanish version? Tbh I've been asked recently several times over this as well as a few asking if they could do a reading of this story. As for the Spanish translation I could do it but it was be using Google Translate and a lot of the stuff a phrases I use in this story wouldn't work the same. but as for the reading of this story, if anyone wants to give it a go you'll have my full support but you'll need to give me a bit of a heads up over it was well lol.
4) Have you gotten any flame reviews for the story so far? I've gotten a few for this story but they've been written by guest account so I don't really take them all too seriously. But if anyone does flame me knock yourself out. Free speech and all that jazz lol.
So that's all for this chapter folks. Just a bit of news as well. Since the last chapter update the total views for this story has gone over 400,000! I'm over the moon with this and I would like to thank each and ever one who has gone a read this story of mine. And just to compare the difference between my other stories.
