Adventreader221: And we have returned, once again, to bring you the glory that s Quake Dragon Son of Bahamut. Anything you wanna add bro?
Phoenixlord42: Not that I can really think of at this moment in time besides this. Danzo is a fucking fool as Naruto is a walking army devastating tank of a monster.
Adventreader221: I think you put something like that in the story for the last chapter.
Phoenixlord42: So you know it is true. Advenreader221: To be honest I am really surprised nobody commented on the fact Danzo is a father, I mean what woman in her right state of mind would sleep with Danzo?
Phoenixlord42: Who said she was in her right state of mind? Hell he could have mind controlled her for all we know.
Adventreader221: *Nods head in agreement* That is true, but in this day and era, women are drawn to several key components that make up society. 1: Power. 2: Money. 3: Status. 4: Anything in between, and don't try and deny this fact. Well, you can but I know ya won't.
Phoenixlord42: Danzo is not one to do it normally he manipulates shit normally
Adventreader221: That is also true.
Phoenixlord42: So I ask WHAT WOMAN WOULD SLEEP WITH DANZO!? Anyway enjoy.
Adventreader221: What he said.
Naruto groaned as he leaned over the side of the ship. Laxus wasn't that far from him either as he hurled his lunch over the side of the ship. Ultear was confused as to why Laxus was sick, seeing as she knew Naruto had a weakness to being in or on vehicles, but Laxus made her draw a blank. Kurama shook his head at the two poor bastards, he was so glad he was not a dragon slayer.
Evergreen chuckled as she watched her friend and lover hurl up what remained in their stomachs into the sea, she couldn't help but find it amusing to see the two of them suffer together. After all, they were always at each other's throats most of the time so this was just hilarious to her. Freed tried to console his leader, only to get barfed on where he jumped in the sea in disgust which caused Bickslow to laugh at Freed for being barfed on. Juvia and Cana were playing a game of cards while Levy tried to ease Gajeel's pain due to the boat rocking back and forth. Bisca had rushed off to the bathroom as she suddenly had to throw up for reasons unknown. Alzack was asleep while Jet and Droy were staring at the clouds above them.
When Cana had found out about Naruto's condition, he had made her promise to keep the fact he was growing weak a secret from everyone. He didn't need their pity, nor their concern. He had explained that his curse was an incurable terminal cancer that would only worsen when he was using his more powerful spells. Unfortunately all his spells were considered his most powerful, so he had to limit the actual amount of magic he used to fight. It had been three days since they had boarded the ship, and they were to make landfall soon, and by then they would be ready.

Across the sea, while Danzo was plotting world domination; Ikaruga was asleep in her chambers. Not many people knew this, but the swordswoman didn't really specialize in the things she actually knew. In truth, she excelled in intel. She was able to gather immense amounts of knowledge of her enemies as well as allies just by holding a piece of their dna; be it a follicle of hair, a drop of spit or blood or any other. What she did with that dna however was where her powers lied, in precognition… the telling of the future. As such, was one of those times.
She knew she wasn't in her own body. How may you ask, well that was simple. She was a projection as of current. She watched as a young man with dirty blonde hair, bright azure eyes and two whisker marks on his cheeks was unchained from the wall where he was brought to his feet.
-Enter: Call for heroes - Pierre Langer
The guards had the emblem for a different empire on their uniforms, the Alvarez Empire emblem. The young man was marched up a seemingly endless flight of stairs before a set of doors were open to reveal that he was in fact standing on an island fortress that belonged to Alvarez.
Unfortunately the Alvarez Empire had decided it was best to humiliate the world's most powerful man by broadcasting it live across the entire globe. It would also prove to be their downfall. They had brought over 200,000 of their men, 20 giants, 6 battalion commanders, 18 warships to surround a small cove of the island, and even the remaining 5 members of the Spriggan 12 to the execution of one Kozuchi Uzumaki, a young man of now 15 years of age.
"So, this is the best the empire has to offer." a reporter said from the safety of a neutral island between the kingdoms.
"I assume that Naruto knows this?" another asked causing the man to gulp.
And why wouldn't he, the world's most powerful wizard had a son due for execution that was being projected across the globe. Children were singing of how much a monster Naruto was, what he was going to do, and how he was going to do it. Nuns were praying for salvation while they could do to the possibility of the wrath the man might bring with him. Soldiers were shivering in their boots due to the fact they had to fight him and his allies.
"I guess. But still, will he venture to be there?"
As they watched the camera's, a shot of Kozuchi walking up the execution platform was seen. A reporter tapped his colleague, "Hey look, the 'Golden Flash' has arrived." he stated.
"So this is the person who may trigger a war that will shake the world!"
A flash happened and the woman found herself looking out at sea where she saw no less than 70 ships heading towards the island. A war was brewing rapidly, and soon carnage would reign. She saw the surprise and joy on Kozuchi's face as he saw 4 ships, submarines, surfaced within the cove before they begun to shift and resemble large battleships designed for war. She knew what type of ship they were, conversion ships. Made to sneak past enemy lines undetected and unseen when underwater, but were regular dreadnaughts above. The sound of clanking filled the air every few seconds, almost like footsteps across gravel. She then watched as the man her father was so driven to have under his thumb walked up a set of stairs to where he was looking across the enemy before him. He had obviously changed as he now stood at a staggering 21 feet tall with his weapon being just as big, as well as his coat and outfit. He also appeared to have a large golden mustache that looked like a set of bull horns growing from his lips.
Words were exchanged before she looked over to see Kozuchi shout out 'Oyaji!" towards Naruto. A term of endearment to his father that meant one of two things 'Pops' or 'Old man' and was meant to show a large amount of respect.
However, the peaceful banter wasn't to last as Naruto stabbed his trusty weapon into the deck and thrust his arms out while August spoke as quickly he could, "He is the some of Bahumt, blessed with the power of Earthquakes. He is Worldbreaker Naruto D Newgate!" where suddenly two large tsunami's burst into existence.
She then watched as a man wearing robes leaped into the air and shot out two large spikes of purple ice, "Primal Reversion" the demon called out freezeing both waves instantly before he pointed a hand at Naruto, "Demon's Lance" and shot several large spears of ice at the man. However, it was easily deflected as he sent a blast at the ice weapons and shattered them causing them to fall into the small bay and completely freeze it over as the demon was sent flying back onto the shore. She then witnessed the Giant of all Giants marched towards Kozuchi in an attempt to save him, only to fall short just as he was about to save him thanks to someone hampering his advance.
She then laughed as one of the Giants tried to cleave Naruto in half, only to fail spectacularly. The weapon clashed with the power of Naruto's earthquakes and stalled for all of ten seconds before it shattered. The next then she witnessed was Naruto reaching up and grabbing the giant by the hair and slamming his head onto the deck of the ship where all of a sudden the head of the giant was covered in a large white bubble of energy before it exploded off the giants head and crushing his skull nearly. With a grunt of, "Get off my ship!" Naruto tossed the Giant away like a ragdoll.
She watched as the war started and then she saw a man with white hair with a sword walk up to him and speak, only to stab him through the chest.
"NARUTO'S BEEN STABBED!" an announcer called out.
Enter: Ascend to power - Chris Haigh
It certainly was a shock as she watched Naruto kneeled to the man with a look in his eyes while raising an arm up, "Do you know what you have done? You have thrust a sword into your friends stomach? YOUR SUCH A DUMB NAKAMA!" he yelled as he shot his hand forward. Ikaruga certainly thought he was gonna kill the white haired man, only to be surprised when he wrapped the man in a hug of forgiveness, "But I respect you for wanting to protect your friends, no matter how foolish you do it." he said as he rose up and looked over the battlefield, "THOSE OF YOU WHO STILL FOLLOW ME, LAY DOWN YOUR LIVES FOR IT!" he bellowed out as the allied guilds of ishgar roared loudly as the blonde once more got them to follow him into battle.
Once more she was impressed by Naruto's resolve on the matter as she watched him stab his weapon once more into the deck as he spoke with conviction, "How dare you say I would willingly sell out my family!" where he lashed out causing the walls of ice that once held the wizards of Ishgar captive were brought crumbling down and allowing for them all to have a chance to escape if they needed it. With nothing left holding him back, Naruto charged towards the very front of the ship and gave a mighty leap into the air as he pushed off the tip of the ship.
August felt his eyes widen in shock as he gave a yell, "GET READY! HE'S GONNA RUN WILD! HE'S THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD!"
Natuto however gave his own war cry, "LET'S GO!" he fell just before he landed on the ice and shattered it under foot.
Attack they did.
Seconds passed in a blur as the wizards charged across the ice. Hell even a giant from Alvarez tried to fight against Naruto, only to be stopped with frightening ease as the man used the giants own weight against him where he was pushed off balance. With his hands free, Naruto proceeded to show the entire world… just why he was considered the most powerful man alive... With a quick yank downward she viewed the world spin as she watched the entire sea itself bow down to a god in flesh. Another leap, and Naruto shattered the world as he caved the stomach of the giant inward where a large shockwave was sent racing forward.
These events were moving far to quickly, she could hardly keep up.
Suddenly she was face to face with a man with a weird hairstyle and a serious look on his face as he suddenly shot a multitude of magma shots into the air where they rained down across the ice, and one even struck the ship Naruto was one and burned away a flag with the Fairy Tail Emblem on it, "We Ishgar wizards choose to believe in what we want, so don't preach to us about what we need to believe in!" Naruto's voice rang through her mind.
She then watched as they breached the plaza where Naruto looked to his son and spoke softly, "You still have your head right, Kozuchi?" he asked his son as he then jumped down on his own and saw the soldier's raise their weapons to fight him, "Stay back, my friends." he said as he got into a stance. The tip of his bisento glowed white as a bubble appeared on his weapons blade before it popped and then coated the entirety of the spearhead. With a yell he flung his bisento around to where the energy flew off creating a large crack in front of him before it unleashed a powerful shockwave that threw hundreds of men off their feet. At the same time, more Fairy Tail wizards landed around him where Naruto threw a fist into the air, "Fairy Tail, rescue Kozuchi and… destroy the remnants of the Empire!" he declared getting shouts of agreement from the others.
Time flashed forward and it was after this she saw Naruto swipe his blade through the air, only to be stopped by the man who used the Lava spell. She then watched curiously as Naruto coughed up a large glob of blood just before he was struck in the chest by the man who was covered in lava.
"OYAJI!" Kozuchi cried out as the lava surrounded the man and exploded into the air above before the entire scene changed to show four soldiers leap at Naruto and stab him twice in the chest and twice in the stomach.
"Fatally wounded am I?" Naruto questioned as he took a step forward causing a cloud of dust to burst from around his foot, "Don't make me laugh, I won't die from such a small poke." Naruto said as he swept his bisento across the earth where a vision of 1000 men were sent flying above the man, "I AM NARUTO!" he shouted proudly.
She then watched as a pink haired wizard caught a key from a hidden ally made of ice where he quickly inserted it into the lock just as an explosion went off around them. She watched as the shackles the teen wore fell to the ground below where the pink haired teen grinned broadly with fire flowing from his body as he looked at the teen wrapped in electricity, "KOZUCHI!~" he cheered loudly. He had done it, he had helped a friend. Small flames bloomed into existence until she saw the emblem of Fairy Tail burning brightly for all to see.
Enter: Where heroes fell - Todd Burns
However Ikaruga watched as time warped forward, a blast of light energy pierced through a blonde man with a large tribal tattoo as he protected a young woman with green hair that went down her back. The sight changed to where she watched as Naruto used his bare hand to suddenly stop a ship the man who had stabbed him with was using to try and redeem himself with before he could die. He was even breathing heavy from all the fighting he had been doing. There was a sight of the pink haired wizard facing off against the Ice Demon or whatever he was. And then it was back on Naruto.
The man walked forward with no fear in his movements and suddenly stopped, "Listen up, Fairy Tail Wizards!" he called out. He did not once consider the other guilds to be their own, for they were all one large family regardless of what guild they worked for, "Hah~, The order I'm about to give, will be my final order!" he called out.
Kozuchi hurled a ball of flame that sent his enemies flying before he looked to his father, "Oyaji!" he called out in shock.
Naruto continued his speech while he ignored everyone around him, "You and I will split up from here! All of you make sure to survive, and return to the New World together!" he called out loudly.
The scene moved forward to show a kneeling Kozuchi bowing towards Naruto who smiled at him while a ring of fire surrounded the two men, "I just have one question for you." he said to the teen, "Are you happy to have me as your father?" he asked the teen.
Kozuchi sniffled as he pressed his head down to the ground, "Of course I am!" he cried with tears running down his cheeks.
As if he had found a sense of peace within himself, the blonde resigned himself to his fate as he took a powerful step forward and shook the world into silence. Ikaruga looked around as everything around her seemed to be a large black canvas around… Naruto? She watched as the man drew his arm to his shoulder, his eyes glowing with a strength he had since forgotten, "I am the one at the top of this era! But I do not belong in the new age!~" he cried out as he lashed out causing a bluish crack to begin spreading up towards the top of the black expanse.

The world shook and trembled at Naruto's might, waves crashed against the side of the fort. And then, Naruto's voice rang out, "Go, my friends!~" where as he gave this order, a large crack burst into existence in the side of the fort as everything around began to collapse. The soldiers of Alvarez were sent flying as the world they knew was being torn apart.
August looked to the blonde and growled, "Worldbreaker…" as more of his base was destroyed.
Establishments and even the lookout posts collapsed to Naruto's might, and a shout was heard, "The island is gonna sink! Someone stop him!~"
Naruto however did not care in the slightest as he looked towards his enemies, "Let's get this over with… ALVAREZ!" he demanded.
The scenery shifted back to the boy Kozuchi as he was making his way towards one of the ships to be used to escape. Already dozens of allies had loaded up and were fleeing the battle just as they were told to do. However, things were about to change. The man who utilized Magma based Magic surged his power causing what appeared to be a large Magma Fist to burst forward and kill dozens of men, and then she heard the monologue, "Naruto is just a loser... from a dead and soon to be forgotten era." he said fixing his shirt.
The pink haired wizard seemed to be walking towards him, his Magic Power was pouring off his body, "Stop it…" he growled in anger.
Instead of taking the teens advice he continued, "He roamed the lands with a fake family thinking he'd get somewhere in life." the man said darkly.
"I said stop it." Natsu ordered.
"Naruto will die alone and forgotten!" the man roared.
"Naruto is a friend and wizard who shaped the era!" Natsu bellowed out as the ground underneath him and the man imploded thanks to their magic. Lashing out a fist, the two men's hands collided in a clash of power, "The name of this era is NARUTO!~" he yelled out.
It seemed that time had skipped because all of a sudden, Ikaruga saw a silver haired woman picking up a necklace with a look of shock on her face as the man with Lava Magic leaped at her from above. Suddenly a cry of, "MIRA!~" was heard as a body pushed her out of the way, only to pierce through Kozuchi's own where she looked up at him from her spot on her back in utter horror.
She watched as the teen said some final words to the woman before he died and fell to the ground with a small smile on his face.
Enter: New beginning - Audiomachine
She watched as the allies of Naruto cried out for the kid in anguish, and then she saw Naruto suddenly appeared behind the man who murdered his son. She then watched as a bubble of golden energy encased his fist as he proceeded to drive the magma user's face into the ground, blasting away thousands of men, as he unleashed his rage for the first time ever. She saw Naruto leapt into the air before an identical bubble of energy gathered at his boot before he shot down towards the ground and slammed into it where he then gave chase to the man. With a roar he slammed his Bisento into the earth kicking up a cloud of dust.
The man who Naruto raged to kill rolled to his feet and shot what appeared to be a salvo of Lava fists at Naruto, only to be horrified as he completely ignored them as he advanced towards the man. She then saw a fist of lava buried into his gut shortly afterwards. Ikaruga then watched as for the first time, as Naruto's knee hit the ground unwillingly before he simply gripped his fist tightly before he reached through the veil of flame burning away his flesh and grabbed his enemy by the shirt. She then saw Naruto smirk as he lashed out and shattered reality once more, this time on a scale she had never seen before, but this time it was with a green field of energy wrapped around his fist as it collided with the stomach of the man.
The world seemed to break apart as Naruto stood firm, the island itself had been shattered to pieces of land only a few could stand on. The fort itself nearly collapsed as large sections of a large wall caved in before an even larger section caved downwards from Naruto's wrath.
Then it seemed to flash forward one more time where she saw a young blonde child with teal green eyes and Naruto's whisker marks gave a cry of, "Oyaji!~" in horror as she watched her father suddenly get shot by a man that even she recognized as a traitor to her home. Her own brother.
Boruto Uzumaki.
"Kill him, you guys!~" he cried out as he shot Naruto again. Soon she watched as six men and a couple of women shot and stabbed at him. His coat was soon riddled with holes and cuts that made it seem irreparable. Even after all he had endured the blonde stood strong as he gave one last yell of, "THE WILL OF THE EARTH!~" which drew the world around him back to his attention, "IS REAL!~" just before the dust settled and his coat fell off to reveal his Fairy Tail guild-mark covering most of his back, with his dying words being, "Farewell… Everyone…" before she awoke with a gasp.
Ikaruga was breathing heavily. She had seen it all. All the carnage, death and destruction. Naruto's allies had defeated a portion of their enemy, around 5-6,000 total together. Naruto on his own killed around 183,789 of the soldiers, 2 of the giants with the allied Giant killing the rest, 4 of the commander's and 3 of the remaining Spriggan 12 on his own. No… there was no way in hell she was fighting him when the time came.
There was a reason why the world labeled him one of the most powerful, and that vision she just had definitely proved it. He was one of the 4 Elemental Emperors, the actual term was called Yonko, of the world. One for each Element obviously. Earth, Fire, Water, Air. Each were all on equal levels of power, with Naruto being the most powerful. The earth was the first due to it having existed long before any other element. It was strong against the ravines of time and any other force that wanted to remove it. That was the thing though, one simply couldn't get rid of the earth that easily.
The earth could be molded, changed and even dissolved… but getting rid of it was an entirely different story altogether. It is the beginning and end result of everything in creation. No wonder he used it, he was the one who was blessed with such otherworldly power.
Nodding her head she got up and dressed. She would inform her father of the vision she had, and she would surely pique his interest with the Will of the Earth info. After all her father had been searching for countless years, centuries actually, for it. He was obsessed with it and was willing to do to get his hands on it. If her father wanted to, he could order her to seduce Naruto to see if he knew the location of the legendary item. However, she also knew if she wanted to survive she would need to do some changes to her work ethics.
XxX
Naruto, Gajeel, and Laxus were bowing to the ground and kissing it repetitively saying that it was god's blessing to mankind. Kurama was laughing his butt off at the sight of the three men thanking god for being on solid ground again. Ultear, Juvia, Bisca and Levy were shaking their heads in embarrassment at the three men. Jet, Droy, and Alzach were ignoring them. Freed and Bickslow simply didn't know what to do as they tried to blend in with the crowd.
What did they expect they had three, two since Laxus kept his ability as one a secret, dragon slayers travel across the sea and they thought they would be fine.
Once they managed to get the three back on their feet they decided that they needed to split up and search for Gildarts. It wasn't that hard for them to agree as they needed his intel on the enemy. Unfortunately fate seemed to be screwing with them as they were soon surrounded by men wearing animal themed masks, black clothing, a grey flak jacket, metal arm guards and gloves, ninja sandals with spikes for travelling into mountainous regions, three weapon pouches on their back-waist and a signature spiral tattoo on their shoulder. Readying themselves for a fight they were surprised when a woman with pink hair walked forward and held an arm up.
Naruto and Kurama slightly remembered her thanks to her scent, but were still on guard, "We are not here to fight." she told them.
"You sure, because that seems to be the case to me." Naruto said as he coated his entire body with steel much like Gajeel had done to himself with his Iron Scales. In fact the entire group was prepped for an all out fight between themselves.
Ikaruga nodded, "This is my personal squadron that I trained personally. They are loyal to me and me alone." she said honestly. The group had about twenty men and women total so it was a toss up.
Naruto shrugged as he twisted his weapon causing it to transform into its bar state, though he kept his spell active, "Alright, what do you want. I assume it has to deal with the letter your king or master sent to me basically saying obey or die?" he questioned only to watch as the woman rolled her eyes with a snort.
"My father's ideal of obedience is to remove all forms of emotion so that you can focus on the task regardless if somebody dies or not. Hell, my father conceived me with a whore before he had her turned into one of his drones. The only reason I'm not like the rest of his army is because he seeks to retire soon and possibly he wants me to take over." she spoke with distaste.
"Ok, and I get the idea that you don't want that?" Gajeel questioned.
Ikaruga snorted, "No, my father seeks to remove me. Or at least that is what I have heard from my own spies within his ranks." she said as she crossed her arms under her bust.
Laxus sighed, "And let me guess, you want us to take him out or something?" he asked.
Ikaruka shook her head, "No, your Elemental Emperor will." she said.
This got the group to look at her in confusion. "What the hell is that?" Bisca questioned in confusion which made the others nodded in confused agreement.
Ikaruga sighed as she shook her head, "You have been a part of their guild for so long, and yet you don't even tell them of the title and prestige you have?" she asked as she looked to an utterly confused Naruto.
"Uh, I have no idea what your talking about lady." he told her.
Ikaruga smacked her forehead before she looked at him, "Ok, let me break it down into simple terms for you. In this world there are a group of wizards that stand so far above normal humans that they are not even considered to be a human to begin with. They surpass Ishgar's Four Gods by such levels they would be considered children in comparison to an Emperor. They each have a territory they have complete control over and no other Emperor can try and take it over, even in death until a suitable Emperor is found to replace the last one. These exceptional wizards are called the Yonko, the Four Elemental Emperors that symbolize the balance of the world." she said.
"There is an Emperor for each Natural Element of the world. Earth, Fire, Water, Wind. You, are the Emperor of the Element Earth and as such the land you reside in is your territory. Any unclaimed land can be taken under your banner for protection or subservience to do with as you see fit. The continent you are currently standing on is unclaimed and has yet to be claimed by one of the Four Emperor's. Much like the Alvarez Empire has yet to be claimed " she said to him.
Kurama looked to Naruto in confusion, "Since when were you a king?" he asked him.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders, "I have no clue. Hell I didn't even know I had control over any piece of land other than my house." he said honestly.
Ikaruge gave a frustrated yell, "Ok, let me break it down to even simpler terms. You are the champion for the Earth Element. Anywhere you go, you can take over and nobody can do anything about it." she said.
"Ooh~" (x10)
"So, who are the other Emperor's?" Naruto asked.
Ikaruga gave a growl, "Fire is chosen by a man named Portgas D. Ace, a man rumored to be distantly related to you. Wind is controlled by a woman named Kazehana whose last name is unknown. Water is under the control by a woman named Tsukiumi who is said to be a Slayer of some sort. Her magic is an unknown type that is part of a Lost Magic." she said.
"Who is the strongest?" Jet asked her.
"Naruto of course. With your ability to not only use Earth based spells so powerful they change the landscape, but use Quake based Magic automatically places you at the top of the list and makes you the most powerful man in existence." she told him as she looked to Naruto.
"I always thought there were people stronger than me." Naruto said in surprise.
Ikaruge shook her head, "No. What you don't realize is that while you rely on your Earthquake magic most, your Earthen based spells are far more superior to them. You literally can change the world with one spell if you wanted, or if really desired it… You could end the world with one hand alone." she said.
Naruto gave a chuckle, "Actually it's quite the opposite, I don't like using those spells due to how destructive they are to the environment around." he said nervously.
"And an earthquake isn't destructive?" Ultear questioned.
…
…
"Ok shut up, that's just unfair." Naruto pouted.
This caused the others to laugh at the large dragon slayer as he tried to make up some type excuse to protect his wounded pride.
Ikaruga cleared her throat, "Listen, I didn't risk myself coming here to laugh. I came here because I need you to take down my father." she told him.
"Not that good of a father is he?" asked Naruto.
Nodding, Ikaruga says "You have no idea. But he is looking for the Will of Earth. You know the location of it, Naruto."
Naruto nods and says "Yeah, and because I do many people want it, but I can't tell at all. I am trying to keep the world from falling into chaos. So much death for one treasure it is not worth it at all."
Naruto's team members nodded in agreement and Ikaruga says "I am with you on that. Plus if dad does get it the world will be nothing other than his drones. He will be a god and nothing would stop him."
Naruto says "Ah but with every wish there is something the wisher must give. Nothing is free." they nod in agreement as he is right about this.
"So will you help me deal with my father?" asked Ikaruga hoping that they will help her.
"Well as you said my job is to keep the balance with the other emperors. That means we were brought here to end him." Said Naruto.
Ikaruga nodded her head in acceptance, "Very well. I will allow you control and occupancy of my land if you remove my father from power. We will speak of terms later, but for now it would be best if we left." she said as she and her men vanished into thin air.
"Well that wasn't creepy at all." Gajeel muttered as he released his spell along with Naruto.
"Come on, let's get out of sight, who knows who has tabs on us right now." Evergreen said.
From a distant rooftop, a man wearing a silver headband that covered one eye smiled as he saw who he had been searching for, "Well, it's about time I found you. Three years here and I was about to lose my mind." Well, time to get to work. At least work that wouldn't get him killed at the moment. So with that thought, Kakashi Hatake reached into his pocket and pulled out a little orange book and opened it to proceed reading, "Oh Miko-chan your so naughty." he giggled perversely. Ah yes, the secret life of a pervert shall never be forsaken as they must keep some form of modesty to them.
Naruto and co walked through the town and saw that everyone looked to be on ed-CRASH! Well there goes subtlety. Said reason was because a large man wearing a black cloak. This man was in actuality, Gildarts Clive. Naruto's contact. Gildarts is a tall, muscular man with shoulder-length orange hair (usually kept slicked back) and stubble beard. His chest sports scars, two of which are stitched, and his black Fairy Tail stamp; the majority of his torso is bandaged, as is his right forearm and left shoulder. Gildarts' attire is rather simple; he wears a long, black, high-collared and tattered cloak with shoulder plates; around his waist is a simple belt. Gildarts also wear loose-fitting dark pants, complete with an armored waist-guard bearing plates similar to the ones on his shoulders, tucked inside simple boots.
"Hey look, it's the old pervert." Kurama said calmly.
"Huh, so that's where he was. Well that was easy." Bickslow said.
"More like we were lucky." Cana muttered in disgust. However a squeeze from Naruto on her shoulder changed her opinion.
"And you stay away from my daughter, she be looking for a proper man to marry aye." a elderly man stated from his position at a large hole in a wall of what appeared to be a bar.
"Of course he'd be at a bar, he never changes." Laxus grumbled.
"He must be pretty weak if this happens to him." Gajeel said.
"Yeah, that was pathetic even for him." Ultear said.
"Actually, at some points he can match me blow for blow in a fight. Last time we hashed it out we destroyed three countries financially due to it." Naruto admitted honestly shocking those who didn't know him.
"Are you saying he is a one man army." Gajeel questioned.
"Kinda, but his magic is not like mine. His magic destroys everything he touches so he has to be careful about things he does. Mine destroys everything regardless. That's why I said he can match me at times." Naruto said.
Gildarts grumbled as he stood up, "I didn't know she was your daughter, cuz if I did I would have bought her a meal and drink to talk to her. Not my fault." he said as he stood up drunkenly where he turned around and saw Naruto, "Hey, it's me bestest friend and rival in the whole world, the only man to have ever throw me to an entirely different continent with one hit." he cheered drunkenly.
"And your still a drunk who hits on women." Naruto said as he walked up to the bar owner, "Let me pay for anything he has done." he said pulling out his wallet.
"You better, this slimy bastard owes me a lot of cash for everything he's pulled here." the owner said.
Naruto sighed, "How much?" he asked.
"1,233,003 Jewell for destroying my establishment five times where I have had to use me own money to rebuild." he said factually, "Then he owes me 11, 224,522 Jewell for the meals and booze." he said.
Nearly ten minutes later a crying Naruto was looking at his empty wallet as he walked away from a very happy bar owner. Gildarts was trying to get another drink, but Laxus wasn't allowing him to get anything along with the rest of the Thunder Legion. He was needed Sober for what they were about to do.

Across the sea, at a nation known as Gladiss, a young woman sat on a pier overlooking the sea. has long blonde hair with blue eyes. She is dressed in a black dress with a white underdress which shows her cleavage, wears a choker on her neck, and has long brown boots with black stockings. Because of her short skirt her panties are often exposed to everyone. This young beauty was known as Tsukiumi, she was the Elemental Emperor of Water.
The young beauty could feel that something was going to happen and felt she should do something while she could, "So… the Earthen Emperor has decided to claim another territory of his own. How shameless must he be. There are nine continents on the planet and each of us are naturally given one where we reside. However, I feel that he has a reason for venturing to this land. I must see what he is up to." she said as she stood up.
"Oi, Panty Flasher-chan what's going on?" a voice called out causing Tsukiumi to halt as her anger came through.
"I thought I told you not to call me that. I am Tsukiumi the Water Empress of the Four Elemental Emperor's." she said boldly.
"Not with the way you flash everyone." the woman said. This was Kazehana, a friend and occasional annoyance to the woman. Kazehana was the Elemental Emperor of Wind. She lived literally an hour away from Tsukiumi's continent on her own. They may have hated each other at times, but more often than not they acted like siblings. Kazehana wears a very short purple dress which shows her cleavage and belly button. She has a well-developed body figure as well as being the most firm breasted between the two of them. She always ties her hair up after waking up and is often seen with a sake bottle.
Tsukiuimi growled at the purple clad woman, "At least I am dressed more appropriately than you are." she responded, "And not as drunk either." she finished.
"Now your just being mean, you know I like quality booze and your place is the only spot I can get it from." she said with a giggle before she guzzled said booze before she gave a huff of enjoyment, "Now, what's this I hear you muttering about the Earth Yonko?" she asked her friend.
Tsukiumi sighed as she looked out towards the sea, "The Earthen Emperor seems to be claiming another territory." she said.
Kazehana asks "He has claimed another territory? Why?"
Tsukiumi shrugs her shoulders, "I do not know." she says.
Kazehana sighs, "Do you want to see why he has claimed another territory?"
The blonde nods, "Let us see why." she says standing up, "Take us to the Earthen Emperor, Kazehana." she says.
"You could say please at least." the drunken woman says with a displeased huff.
Tsukiumi huffs, "Will you please take us to where the Earthen Emperor has claimed a new territory." she says with grinding teeth.
"That's more like it, come on we have a date with a Yonko." she says as she grabs the buxom blonde.
"Wait, a date!" Tsukiumi says in shock as her cheeks turned a bright red.
Kazehana nods and says, "Well of course it's a date with destiny."
Tsukiumi blushes deeper, "O-ok"
Kazehana laughs, "That's the spirit." and activates her Magic causing them to vanish into the wind.

Located further south of the continent Naruto was on stood a man surrounded by flames. Not literally, he was burning crop circles just for the hell of it. Ace was a tall muscular young man with curly black hair. He also sported rather childish freckles (inherited from his mother), and tends to make a skeptical facial expression by raising his left eyebrow. Ace's tattoos are among his most remarkable, trademark features. Ace has a tattoo on his upper left bicep that spells "ASCE" vertically. The "S" crossed out is a tribute to his brother Sabo who had perished in a war.
Ace wears an open-front shirt with flower designs across it. He wears black boots, black knee-length shorts with an eyelet-studded orange belt, and a blue pouch belted around his left leg. He also has a short second belt with a large red "A" on the silver buckle over his right hip, but leaves it unfastened and threaded the free end along the back of his shorts. A dagger in a green sheath hangs at his left hip. On Ace's left arm, he has a white striped bracelet around his wrist, an orange elbow guard, and his "ASCE" tattoo. He also wears a red beaded necklace and an orange hat with two blue smileys, one frowning and one smiling, and a string of red beads sitting above the rim. Two long orange side straps hung down the sides of his hat and met at a large medallion of a bull's skull with orange tassels.
He is highly suspicious of everything, having even built a decoy house in the swamp while in truth he lives in an underground bunker nearby. Although Ace's suspicions are often vague or even seems ridiculous, his hunches are proven to be correct on several occasions. He also seems to carry a pink stuffed pig with a hidden weapon inside when he travels around.
"Well shit, he's at it again. I often told him not to trust anyone, didn't I?" he says from his hiding position.
The sound of approaching footsteps draws his attention and Ace hides in a bush with his gun drawn.
The man approaching is young, mid twenties at least, but he is also not alone. The man looks around and speaks quietly, "Keep your voice down, and don't make any sudden moves." he whispers to the woman.
"W-Why?" she asks only to be ignored.
"Just stay close to me. Don't use your Communication Lacrima." he tells her.
"Which you threw away when we arrived." she grumbles.
"Don't talk about Communication Lacrima, Communication Lacrima Satellites, or anything technological." he tells her.
"Seriously?" the woman asks incredulously, only to be shocked when Ace jumps out from hiding while pointing a gun to the man's head.
Aces asks, "Why are you trying to kill me?"
"We're not trying to kill you." the man responds.
Ace shakes his head, "Oh yeah. You are." he says.
The man gives a blank look and asks, "Why would I be trying to kill you?"
Ace cocks his head to the side and says, "Because the last time we met, I tried to kill you."
The man shrugs his shoulders, "That was five years ago." he tells Ace.
Ace snorts and says, "Some people hold onto things like that."
The man grabs the gun and points it away from him, "We're not trying to kill you." he says again, "Okay." he expresses, "So that makes us friends." he says softly, "Right?" he asks.
Ace only says, "Right."
The man smiles more brightly, "Good. You wanna take that knife out of my balls now?" he asks causing the woman to look over the unknown mans shoulder to see Ace had indeed pressed a large hunters knife to his balls.
Ace looks at the woman, "So Marco, who is she?" he asks the revealed Marco as he takes his knife away.
"Nico Robin, the greatest historian on the planet. She's helping me." he tells Ace.
Nico shakes her head, "Yeah, we're not trying to kill you." she says.
Ace nods and looks around, "I don't stay out in the open." he says as pulls open a secret door revealing his home.
Nico is shocked that Ace lives here and is seeing that he really does not like technology. Robin is thinking 'Nami would like to us to steal from this idiot, really' They arrive at Ace's place.
"Hey Marco did you hear?" asked Ace.
Marco responds with "What Ace?"
"It seems the Earth Yonko has claimed a new territory. No clue why." said Ace
"What the Earth Yonko? That is impossible no one knows who the Yonko are?!" Said Robin
Ace shakes his head, "There are very select few in the world who know who, what and where the Yonko are. Literally 1 in every 10,000 know of them. And the planet has approximately 1 billion inhabitants. It's why I stay hidden most of the time, people wanna kill me for the position… Like Marco did five years ago."
Robin snicker's, "Is that why you live in this place?" she asks.
"No. See, when I lived above ground rather than my bunker. The Magic Council in Era decided I was a Liability to them due to the secrets I knew and wanted me out of the picture, and so they sent their best hunter destroyer after me, needless to say we nearly killed one another. Although I have to thank you. Without our spat I would have never gotten the title of Fire Yonko." he said as he grabbed a bottle of water and tossed them both one before guzzling his own.
Marco clears his throat, "Not one of my finer moments I'll admit." he says.
Ace chuckles, "Let me guess, they're after you now?" he questions.
"Yeah…"
Aces sighs and says, "Marco how many times have I told you? You cannot trust the system! I told you when you're in the system, they switch the flip and you're done. Man, satellites," he points to his head, "Communication Lacrima," he points to his head again, "chips," once more he points to his head, "net," points to his head, "the web," points his head again, "the dentist." he says as he points to his head. He would have continued had Marco not slapped him.
"Feel better?" Marco asks.
"A little bit yeah."
"Listen, we need some help." Marco tells Ace.
"Well, what kind of help do you need?" he asked Marco.
"Help that will get us away from the eyes of the Council." he tells Ace.
Ace rolled his eyes, "Kinda figured. I need to check the files." he said to the blonde.
Marco nods his head, "Course you do, thanks man." and they watch Ace disappear into a room.
Robin leans over and whispers into Marco's ear, "Man, this guy is insane."
Marco leans over and whispers back, "Well, he thought he was the subject of a secret government mind control project."
Ace peaks out the door, "This'll take a minute." he tells them before going back into the room.
Robin nods her head, "Sure, take your time." she says.
Marco sighs, "As it turns out... he really was being given daily doses of LSD for 11 years of his 25 year life." he tells her.
"Well in that case, he looks great." Robin says sarcastically.
"Fantastic."
"Yeah…" Robin says.
"Got it, Everest of the Chonchuir range. That is the one place they will take in anybody with a wanted rep with the council." he says walking out with a sheet of paper.
Marco nods his head, "Thanks man. Oh and you might wanna relocate. The council has found you." he says.
Ace stops in his spot and turns around, "What?" he asks.
"Yeah, they've found you. They are coming to eliminate ya soon." Marco stated.
"Dammit, do you know what's wrong with the council?" he asks as he looks between them.
"They're all trying to kill us?" Robin asks.
"Exactly."
"Ok, so what do we do?" Robin asks.
"You guys get out and go to Everest, I on the other hand am going to find the Earth Yonko to sort stuff out." he says before he grins, "I honestly thought I would never say this again. I AM GETTING THE PIG!" he exclaims as he runs into a room.
Robin looks confused, "Pig… What pig?" she asks looking to Marco.
The blonde shrugs, "I have no clue, it's something he says and does. We should leave like he said." and with that they both leave.
With them gone Ace gives a sigh. Great, now he had to ship all the files away and hide them again and then he'd have to build another bunker. Suddenly as if a lightbulb had been turned on in his head he grinned, "I got it. Magnolia here I come!" he said as he locked his file room and sent a burst of magic through the metal allowing it to vanish. Cracking his neck he dug into his magic and called it forth, "FLAME EMPEROR'S COMMANDMENT: REBIRTH" he shouted out as a sea of blue flames spread out from where he was and engulfed the rest of the bunker turning it to ash.

Naruto and co sighed as they had to listen to Gildarts whine once again due to his new sobriety. Naruto then hits him in the head hard "Gildarts remember the mission and afterwards you and I will talk about the money you owe me later!" Naruto said not in the mood to play games.
"But Naruto!" Gildarts whines then he stops as Naruto has a tremor bubble around his hand showing that he will hurt him if he does not stop.
Naruto nods "Now what do you got that can be used?"
Gildarts says "Danzo is held up in a castle around the center of the continent. It's heavily guarded by his mindless drones." The others are hear this and don't like the sound of this. "His guards are made up of orphans and those who he takes off the streets. Thousands per day are being recruited by his men." Naruto frowns at this "Danzo also has some form of control over the royal council here as he has brainwashed about a quarter of them he is working on more."
Naruto sighs, "Well we will be facing an army. I really hope that you are up for it." The others look at each other and then back at Naruto nodding.
"Well we do have a one man army on our side Gihihi." Said Gajeel with the others nodding.
Feeling the wind picked up speed, Naruto then looks around like something is happening. The wind suddenly picks up more speed causing everyone to cover their faces. Naruto senses that the ones coming are powerful and is thinking 'Two more wizards with as much Magic Power as me. Are they both Yonko or something... wonderful not sure if they are friend or foe right now.' Naruto then sees two women as they start to approach them. "Hold it friend or foe?" asked Naruto as he is ready to fight.
"Friend. Just wondering what you are doing claiming another territory Earthen Emperor." Said the blonde one.
Gildarts notices Tsukiumi and slides over to her with a cheeky smile where he was soon leaning on the wall and eyeing the beautiful blonde woman. "Hello there madam, I couldn't help but notice you might need some help with something."
She smiled and shook her head, "I've got it, thank you."
"Well alright. But I would love to see more of your skills in using Magic. Such a lovely young woman, yet so experienced in the hands on activities." The girls of their group just groaned at the ace's pick up attempt.
Tsukiumi just chuckled, "Well I suppose a proper introduction is in order for such a nice gentleman." she said as she turned towards Gildarts and smiled, only for her fist to be suddenly centered into his cheek, catching him by complete surprise and sending him rocketing through the wall and out of the street. Everyone in the group was speechless at the sight of this new woman punching Gildarts in the face. And even more surprised that she was actually getting a result.
"My name is Tsukiumi the Water Yonko. I am 20 years old. And I don't take kindly to gigolos."
Levy looked at the woman in complete disbelief, "H-Holy crap."
"Yeah, she's ridiculously strong. She handled me when we were little like I was some type of punk. Kinda unfair, actually." Kazehana noted as she jumped behind the bar to make herself a drink with Can holding a barrel of booze up to her own mouth.
Gajeel looked down at Naruto, "Irrational, punches people for almost nothing and is wreaking havoc in the middle of town just for the hell of it. Yep, seems like she's gonna fit in with us just great." while Naruto nodded in agreement.
Jet popped out of the hole Gildarts had just involuntarily made. "Did someone just beat up Gildarts?" Everyone paying attention to the young man pointed at the blonde woman at the bar. He ran up to her, "Awesome! Please tell me your secret?" he asked her pleadingly.
Tsukiumi smiled smugly and brushed her nails on her shirt. "I do pretty well."
"You must be some kind of crazy amazon lady like our friend Erza, right?" His scalp was palmed in an instant and he was slowly raised to eye level with the blonde woman, who had a nasty snarl on her face.
"What was that?"
"Um-I mean-"
"Stop Jet!" Gildarts stumbled in through the hole he made when he was thrown by the punch, his eyes covered by the end of his hair. "That woman...she is...she's… Wonderful!" He declared with passion in his voice with admiration and desire for the woman in his eyes.
Tsukiumi froze in horror when she heard the man say that, dropping Jet on his butt. "What the hell? I punched him through a wall he should be out for a week!" she said in shock as Kazehana burst into laughter.
"He doesn't usually follow the rules people set out for normal living people." Levy muttered tiredly, most of the girls nodding their heads in agreement. Cana just looked away and shook her head disappointedly. Why was her old man such a deadbeat perv. This chick was as old as she was, and yet he was hitting on her like he was going to die of old age at any moment.
Gildarts skidded in front of her, "Please! Let's go off into the sunset together and find paradise!" he begged the young beauty.
"Stay away from me you creepy bastard!" Tsukiumi yelled as her legs started to flash around and try to kick Gildarts in the jaw but he continued to dodge with an expert grace. The men and women of the group started to cheer for each of them to succeed in what they were doing. Whether it would be kicking the strongest Mage in the guild in the chin, or scoring a night with the beautiful woman.
After nearly an hour of going back and forth, Naruto managed to calm Gildarts' libido and Tsukiumi from trying to either kill the Ace of Fairy Tail or just maim him they got back on track of what they were going to do.
"I see the Emperors of Wind and I suppose Fire are here. What you want with little old me again?" Naruto asked.
Tsukiumi snarls, "I already told you, I am the Water Yonko. Do not confuse me with that crazy flame brain for a Fire Yonko." she says.
Kazehana places a hand on Tsukiumi's shoulder to calm her down, "We're not here to fight, we came here wondering why you have come here. Everytime a Yonko travels to a different continent usually means they seek more power and territory. Naturally each Yonko is given one Continent of their own, but a Yonko with more than one piece of land is unheard of." she says.
Naruto shakes his head, "No, I'm not here for that. I came because of a job. We're here to overthrow a mad king and go back home." he tells her.
Tsukiumi looks a little shocked at that "That is it?"
Naruto just nods
"How bad is it?" Asks Kazehana
Naruto sighs "Well his men are emotionless, brainwashed drones. Also he wants the Will of the Earth and me as his weapon. Sorry to strong of a will." Tsukiumi and Kazehana are shocked at this.
"This is not good if he gets his hands on the Will of Earth or the Guardian of the will then nothing could stop him. He would turn everyone into nothing but his pawns." Said Kazehana
Tsukiumi nods then thinks about this and says "I think we can help you all. Alone we can destroy armies but together kingdoms will crumble and fall before us."
The mages are thankful for more help and Naruto says "Well let's get to it."
They head to where they need to go and they all see the castle is heavily fortified.
"Well we are going to have to fight. Bisca we need a sniper to take out the ones on the wall." Said Naruto and Bisca nods
Then Naruto turns to Levy, Juvia and Ultear "I need you to infiltrate the place for info." They nod and then they proceed to sneak to the castle to do their job.
Bisca picks a spot that she can't be spotted easily and Kurama joins her. Alzack goes to the opposite side of where Bisca hides and gets into position with his own Sniper rifle.
Naruto and the others wait for the influtarion team to return. After three hours they returned and brought a map with them. "We have a map marked with where everything is." Said Levy as she unrolls the map showing everything.
Naruto is looking it over and sees a weakness. "I am seeing a weakness in the walls. If we hit it hard enough the wall would come down. It will give us a way to attack with their defenses down."
The others nod knowing that it would be a good idea.
Then they are giving positions they need to go. They wait for the signal and Naruto signals to Bisca. She sees and silently starts taking out enemies.
With that, their mission had finally begun.
Adventreader221: And we are gonna end it right here for now. Not short, but not as long as a usual chapter like the last one either. Anything you have to say PL?
Phoenixlord42: Gildarts you are messing with someone like Naruto who can throw your ass to another country
Adventreader221: He wouldn't be Gildarts if he didn't. But still, this chapter took us roughly 3-4 days to write because we couldn't think of jack shit to write for you guys. Now we also discovered while we were writing that with the timeframe of this particular arc, it all lined up to the Tenrou Island Arc so no there will be no Edolas Arc in this story.
Phoenixlord42: Would have been interesting to see what Naruto was like in the other world?
Adventereader221: Oh yeah I totally agree, but remember. We set it up like this for a reason. Now, for those who are wondering why we are portraying Ace the way we are; Here is the conversation we had on him. (Our names will be left anonymous for reasons we shouldn't tell you.)
*Tv appears before you and turns on to show both Adventreader221 and Phoenixlord42 looking at the script for the story only to have blank looks on their faces as they cannot decide on what to write*
Phoenixlord42: *Has a frying pan ready*
Adventreader221: *Draws Lightsaber*
Phoenixlord42: *The pan does not get cut but Adventreader221 finds something near his balls and it is a very rusty sword*
Shall we
Adventreader221: It's nice to see you, can you get the knife off my balls now
Phoenixlord42: *Removes it*
Adventreader221: Thank you
You ever see the movie RED with Bruce Willis in it. you would do a good impression of Marvin
Phoenixlord42: Yeah I have quote from him "I AM GETTING THE PIG" another "Old man my ass."
Adventreader221: Could you tell Marvin to calm down *Walks away and sees Marvin in a bush with a machine gun*
Phoenixlord42: Lol
before he gets himself hurt?
Adventreader221: That was one of my more favorite parts, definitely
Phoenixlord42: I loved the "Old man my ass."
Adventreader221: "I remember the Secret Service being tougher."
Phoenixlord42: Me too
then there is him running at the secret service with a fake bomb
Adventreader221: I would be the one with the bomb admittedly
Phoenixlord42: Yeah you would
but Marvin was being brainwashed and he still looks good
Adventreader221: No, I would be Moses kidnapping the girl
Phoenixlord42: Ok
I would be marvin
You seen red 2
Adventreader221: I have, the russian woman was a surprise
Phoenixlord42: "I have never heard of you" After an ass kick. "You've heard of me now."
Adventreader221: Yeah
I think we should portray Ace as Marvin from RED somewhat, to make it more humorous at least
Phoenixlord42: yeah
but with his random sleeping
Adventreader221: I know, am I awesome or what.
well, what you think about him.
Phoenixlord42: your insane
but FUN to be around
Adventreader221: Muahahahahahaha
Phoenixlord42: So what is in the pig
Adventreader221: You decide
I honestly don't know what to put inside it
Phoenixlord42: *Adventreader221 see weapons flying as I am looking for something*
and when he sees them will Naruto remember them? *Keeps looking*
Adventreader221: Ohh, that's nice *Picks up Giant .50 Cal. from Red* but a bit bulky
Nah, let's just say they recognize one another
Phoenixlord42: *Then Adventreader221 are almost hit by a weapon as I shout* WHERE IS IT
Adventreader221: "I don't KNOW~"
Phoenixlord42: *Adventreader221 is almost hit by more weapons*
Adventreader221: Hey watch where you are throwing the Tommy Guns!
Phoenixlord42: *Adventreader221's head is hit by the weapon I am looking for*
Adventreader221: OWW, God Lee
Phoenixlord42: *Adventreader221 see the Grenade launcher from Red*
Adventreder221: What the hell, man, where were you hiding that thing?
Phoenixlord42: Hiding under a massive pile of rocket launchers
Adventreader221: How'd it get hidden by that?
Phoenixlord42: No clue
Adventreader221: Oh well, back to work.
Adventreader221: So yeah, that is what we do behind the scenes when we have absolutely nothing to write about. Ain't that right Phoenixlord42?
*Adventreader221 is then buried under rocket Launchers*
Phoenixlord42: You sure about that dude?
Adventreader221: *Head pops out of pile* Oh yeah, definitely. But you didn't answer the question Marvin.
Phoenixlord42: I AM NOT MARVIN!
Adventreader221: That's not what you said earlier.
*Then explosives suddenly blow up sending Adventreader221 flying into the sky*
Phoenixlord42: At least I am not that paranoid
Adventreader221: *Lands on the ground and looks up* Well, when I wake up I expect at least 50 new reviews, 75 will get a new update. Like and Review and we will see you later.
*Sidenote; we will be updating chapter 2 of the Reading version, but after that we will focus solely on this version until we complete it*
