Chapter 13

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm a shinobi" the blonde man introduces himself with a wide toothy smile offering his hand to her to help her up.

"Naruto...Uzumaki, Shinobi" Erza said taking his hand and standing up and when Erza looked at his smile she saw much of the old Natsu in him.

"Yeah you know Hero of the Hidden Leaf, Seventh Hokage, Savior of the world, God of Shinobi, and most importantly I'm you," Naruto said with confidence and a wide smile.

"HUH! How could you be me" Erza asked wide-eyed completely surprised at Naruto's statement?

"Well I don't understand myself, well I'll give you a summary to put simply we are both the reincarnation of the son of the Sage of Six Paths Ashura," Naruto told her.

"Ashura? Sage of Six Paths" Erza said, "Who are they". Naruto simply smiled at her.

"It doesn't matter now, you'll learn about them soon, anyway, I'm here to help you," Naruto told her. Erza was completely surprised at what Naruto offered.

"Help. Why Help me, I'm a failure" Erza told him looking down

"I failed to save my friends, I couldn't save him" Erza couldn't hold back her tears as they formed. "Why would you help someone like me"

"So are you just going to give up," Naruto asked her. Erza looked up a little surprised at the question.

"You're just going to let your friends give in to hatred," Naruto asked her. "You are going to make them be completely submerged in darkness"

"I can't help him, the Natsu I knew is gone" Erza shouted at Naruto with tears in her eyes.

"Is he?" Naruto asked her with a serious tone.

"How would you know, How could you understand" Erza shouted at him. "How could you

"Because I've been through the same thing," Naruto told her.

"Huh what do you mean," Erza asked?

"I've been through the same thing you have," Naruto told her. "My best friend went down a path of hatred and vengeance just like Natsu, he abandoned everything for his goal. He abandoned the people he considered his family" Naruto told Erza solemnly.

"What," Erza said as she looked back the shinobi finding out he has been a similar experience "Your best friend had fallen into darkness," she asked.

"Yes, he was my rival, I saw him as my brother he was a strong and capable shinobi," Naruto told her "I trusted him with my life"

"What happened," Erza asked him.

"Someone got to him made him give in to his anger" Naruto simply said to her. "And I couldn't do anything to stop him. Everyone told me to give up on him, even our fellow Sensei told me to give up. They all said he was a lost cause"

"So what did you do?" Erza asked wanting to know more about the story.

"I continued to chase after him" Naruto answered with a smile. "I kept going after him, shouting at him to come back home and he just wouldn't listen and I didn't care what anyone said"

"Why did you keep going after him, if he didn't want to listen why keep going after him," Erza asked wanting to know why Naruto was so persistent on getting him back.

"Because he's my friend" Naruto simply said to her. Erza's eyes widened at Naruto's answer. "I don't give up on my friends even if they submerged themselves darkness I would do anything to bring them back even go to the deepest parts of hell to save them"

"So what happened to your friend," Erza asked wondering what happened in the end.

"He came back, it took some time and a lot of arguing and fighting it cost me an arm, but all that mattered to me is that he came back" Naruto laughed thinking about the past.

"The point is that I never gave up on him, I believed he would come back and he did. You shouldn't give up on your friends either no matter how much they persist you to leave them alone" Naruto stated to Erza smiling. Erza was moved by Naruto's story she felt happy that Naruto was able to save his friend.

"But" Erza looked down. Naruto signed knowing what Erza was about to say.

"Oh come one were you seriously not listening," Naruto said in a mocking tone. Erza looked backed up a little shocked by his tone. "I told you no matter how much they submerge himself in darkness, use your hand to pull him up, and if he shakes you off scream to wake him up," Naruto told her. Erza was completely taken back by Naruto's words and when she heard them she feels as though she was talking to the old Natsu.

"Besides Your friends never gave up on you di they" Naruto smiled at her. Erza then felt something bet hind she turned around and was surprised to see who was there. It was all of Fairy Tail standing there giving her supportive looks putting their faith in her, she then looked forward and in the distance, she sees Natsu with Gajeel and Wendy behind him. She then felt memories of all the times her friends never gave up her how they always put their faith in her to win the day.

"Your right Thank you," Erza said.

"Now Do you want power Erza?" Naruto asked.

"Power" Erza responded and she thought for a moment.

"Yes," She answered.

"Why do you want power," Naruto asked.

"I want the power to help and protect my friends no matter what" Erza declared to him. Naruto smiled at her.

"Good you gave the right answer" Naruto gave her a thumbs up with a toothy smile praising her, Erza smiled back at him.

"Thank you Naruto for sharing your story about your friend," Erza said to Naruto thanking him for the advice. Then something came to Erza "Hey Naruto I was wondering"

"Yea" Naruto responded.

"I was wondering why. I know you wanted to teach me not to give up on my friends, but why tell me your story" She asked.

"Well it's because Natsu and my friend have the same eyes" Naruto answered.

"The same eyes?" Erza said not understanding.

"His Sharingan, that's what he had been using in your fight, he has the eyes of someone who has seen a darkness" he answered. "And that's not the only thing"

"What else is there about him," she asked.

"Like you, he is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths another son Indra," he told her.

"Indra? Ashura? I still don't understand" she said.

"Like I said you'll find out soon enough, you have to get back to the real world. Your friend Mira needs your help" Naruto then showed Erza what is happening in the real world, it was Natsu fighting Mira and she can tell she stands no chance. "You have to go back now."

"How Natsu said no one can escape here," Erza said.

Naruto just smirked he held his fist out "Bump fist with me"

"Huh," Erza had a question mark over her head.

"I'm going to give the power you need to help your friend, I am entrusting his power to you," Naruto said. Erza just looked at Naruto and saw in his eyes that he was telling the truth Erza then held her fist out and bumped it with Naruto's. The moment she did Erza felt something she felt her power surging. She then saw herself being consumed by orange energy she felt no pain. Erza then looked back at Naruto who smiled at her.

"Now go. Go save your friend" he told her, Erza nodded at him now knowing what to do.

"Thank you Naruto," she said as she vanished.

"It seems story is only just beginning huh Sasuke," Naruto said.

…

"This ends now," Natsu told Mira, Natsu focused his lightning chakra into his hand. "Chidori". Natsu then began to run at a fast speed heading straight for Mira.

"Bring it," Mira said with determination.

"It's over," Mavis said as she closed her eyes. Makarov did the same knowing this their lost being beaten by the man who was once Fairy Tail's light.

As Natsu was charging at her, Mira closed her eyes ready to take the attack knowing that it is over. "So this it, we are going to lose," she thought ready to accept fate. Natsu was closing in on Mira and began to thrust his arm forward, though as his arm got closer to Mira's chest she suddenly vanished. Catching everyone in the arena by surprise.

"What the" Natsu said as Mira just vanished.

Flicker

And in an instant, two people appeared out of thin air and everyone was caught by surprise by this sudden fast movements.

"Was that" Itachi was a little surprised by what happened.

"Yes," Obito responded as he saw what happened.

"Huh" Mira said as she was somehow teleported away from Natsu's attack she looked up and was surprised to see who it was "Erza" Mira couldn't believe it "You're okay" she was surprised and happy that her best friend has recovered, but Mira also noticed that Erza looked different now. Her scarlet hair was now slightly brighter than before, and it had blonde tips at the end. She was now wearing a white cloak around her decorated with red flames with the Fairy Tail symbol on the back in red.

"Hey Mira you okay," Erza asked with a smile.

"Yea I'm fine" Mira responded. "Erza what happened to you"

"I'll explain later" Erza answered she then turned towards Natsu.

"Erza, How did you escape Tsukuyomi," Natsu asked coldly.

Erza smiled at him "Someone helped me"

"Help?" Natsu wondered who helped her, but he didn't care "Well your appearance may have changed, it doesn't change you will lose here" he declared to her.

"Are you sure about that?" Erza said to him.

"Hmmm, What do you mean you think you can beat me" Natsu smirked at her.

"Yeah, I'm going to beat you here and bring you, Gajeel and Wendy back to Fairy Tail" Erza declared him.

"And just how are you going to beat us Erza," Natsu asked.

"Like this" Erza then clapped both her hands and the moment she Natsu, and the other members of the Akatsuki felt an amazing amount of Chakra being displayed by Erza. Erza was then engulfed in an Orange Flame surrounding her.

"ERZA" Fairy Tail shouted as they saw being engulfed in the flame-like energy.

"This is Chakra" Natsu was shocked that Erza was now able to use chakra they same as him and the other members of the Akatsuki "But this is no normal chakra, it's different"

"How is she able to use Chakra" Gajeel was just as shocked as Natsu was.

"It feels different than ours" Wendy was surprised as well at Erza's new power.

"This chakra, it can't be," Obito said "Don't tell me she is"

"No question," Itachi said "She is"

"The Nine Tails Jinchuriki," Nagato said as he saw Erza power up. "This power is just his" Nagato smiled.

The orange energy surrounding Erza then disappeared revealing her new power Erza's entire body was now glowing with orange flame-like chakra. Erza had grown two orange horns on her head. She had six magatamas below her neck and swirl around her stomach, she also had several black lines and swirls surrounding her body. On her orange glowing cloak, there were three magatamas on the bottom. Her brown eyes are now orange.

"Erza" Mira was shocked to see Erza's new appearance "What is this" Erza looked back at her.

"I'll explain later" Erza responded "Thank You Kurama"

"No problem" Kurama the Nine-Tailed Fox said to her.

"So what you can glow orange now whats the big…." Gajeel couldn't finish his sentence as Erza just appeared right in front of him with an orb of chakra in her hand.

"RASENGAN" Erza thrust her arm forward hitting Gajeel with the orb of chakra sending him crashing into the wall.

"Gaaahahh" Gajeel then fell to the ground completely knocked, Natsu was a bit surprised by this, Erza managed to knock out Gajeel in a single hit.

"Impressive. You beat Gajeel with a single hit, you actually may provide me a challenge" Natsu admired the power Erza just displayed. "But me" Natsu then vanished and in seconds he appeared behind Mira.

"Huh" Mira was caught off guard.

"No distractions"

Chop

Natsu then chopped the side of Mira's neck knocking her out.

"I'm in a whole other league Erza what hope do you have to beat me," Natsu told Erza.

"I'll show you" Erza declared.

The two were now locked in a tense staredown, neither were flinching both waiting to see who will make the first move.

"Oh my Goodness both teams are down a partner leaving only both Natsu and Erza in an intense standoff, both showing an awesome amount of power with only 4 minutes remaining who will stand on top Salamander or Titania" Chapati announced.

"Despite all the Drama this fight is still so Cool" Jason shouted as he watched.

"It also seems like Erza gained a new form of power, but will it be enough to stand up to Natsu's" Yajima wondered.

"Master do you know what happened to Erza" Levy asked the old man.

"No, I never have seen such power come from Erza before" Makarov answered observing, he remembers the first meet before Erza and Natsu. When he laid eyes on them he always saw both had so much potential to become powerful wizards. He saw that in all his children, but Natsu and Erza were different he felt as though they both had untapped power buried within them.

"First Master" Makarov looked towards the spirit hoping for guidance.

"No, Third I never have seen such power before, but maybe Erza's new power can give us the advantage we need," Mavis said to him Makarov nodded at this and looked back towards the match.

Natsu and Erza were both still staring at each other waiting to see who will make the first move. Then both without hesitation begin to run out of each other. The two then began to exchange punches and kicks each landing a solid blow. With Erza punching Natsu in the face and Natsu punching her in the stomach. Natsu then uppercut her in the chin and kicked her in the stomach sliding her back.

"Huff" Erza breath as she took the force of the kick, despite the hard-hit she was still standing."That all you got"

"Hmmm" Natsu then charged at Erza, he then weaved hand signs "Shadow Clone Jutsu" Natsu created 4 clones. All the clones then jumped in the air about to attack Erza from above. In response, Erza made the Seal of Confrontation which is half a tiger seal to summon 4 orange chakra arms emerging from her body.

"What the" One of the clones said as he was grabbed by the chakra arm, each of Natsu's shadow clones has been caught by the chakra arms Erza summoned.

"HYAAAH" Erza then threw the clones across the arena making them disappear from the force of impact when they hit the ground. Erza then charged at Natsu at a fast speed, she then jumped in the air and attempted to spin kick, but like before her kick phased right through him.

"Even with a new power you still can't hit me Erza," Natsu told her "Face it your going to lose"

"Damn it just what is this technique he's using" Erza wondered.

"Its called Kamui" Kurama told Erza.

"Kurama" Erza heard the Kyuubi spoke in her thoughts "Kamui what is that"

"Kamui is a Mangekyou Sharingan Jutsu," Kurama told her "It's a Space-Time Jutsu that allows him to transport anything into in another dimension that includes his own body, So even though you can see him you can not touch him as his true physical form is in another dimension," he explained.

"But there is a weakness," Kurama said.

"A weakness" Erza responded.

"Every Mangekyou Sharingan Jutsu requires a tremendous amount of chakra, that includes his Kamui just looks" Erza looked up at Natsu and saw that he was sweating a bit and had some heavy breathing.

"He's getting tired," she said.

"That's right, using Tsukuyomi on you cost him a lot of chakras so he has to limit how long he needs to use Kamui and also because his physical form is another dimension that means not only you can't attack him, he can't attack you unless he pulls his body out of the another dimension."

"So What should I do" Erza asked. Kurama had a smirk on his face and told her what to do.

"And you think that would work" Erza asked.

"Hey worked for Naruto and Minato should work for you too," Kurama told her.

"Okay let's do it" Erza then took out a three-bladed kunai and on her other hand she charges up another Rasengan.

"Hmmm fine I'm going to finish you here" Natsu declared then at high speed the two charged at each other. As the two were charging at each other Erza threw the kunai straight at Natsu, the kunai heading towards his face, but it phased right through his face.

"What a fool, did she forget, that will just phase through me," Natsu thought with a sinister smile, but what he failed to notice there was a marking on the kunai. "Now it's over". As they were getting closer to each other, Natsu put his arm out ready to grab Erza his arm getting closer to her face, once Erza felt Natsu's fingertips on her cheek.

"My win," Natsu said.

"NOW" Kurama shouted and with that Erza vanished.

"What the" Natsu was shocked. Erza then suddenly appeared over Natsu grabbing her kunai.

"Is that?" Itachi said.

"Yes, the Flying Raijin" Obito responded.

"TAKE THIS RASENGAN" Erza then hit Natsu's back hard sending him to the ground hard.

"GAAAAH" Natsu screamed as the attack hit his back, Natsu hit the ground hard creating a large impact crater.

"WOW, AMAZING! Erza has managed to lay a critical blow on Natsu can she finally turn this fight around" Chapati shouted into the mic.

Erza landed back on the ground breathing heavily "Is it over?" she thought. "No" Erza felt Natsu was still conscious.

Natsu slowly got up from the crater he was covered in injuries his back had a large circular burn mark from the Rasengan.

"Huff, huff" Natsu breathed heavily "Damn it, you almost got me there," Natsu told Erza "But, it will take more than that to beat me" Natsu then closed his eyes and when he did so Erza noticed his right eye was bleeding.

Kurama noticing this shouted at Erza "ERZA GET OUT OF THE WAY"

"Huh" Erza responded to Fox. She didn't know what's wrong, but she can tell Natsu was about to do something that had the Fox so she did as she was told jumped back further away she created a large chakra arm and put it front of her to use as a shield.

AMATERASU

Natsu then opened his eyes showing now that both changed into a red six-pointed star and once he did and In instant black flames appeared onto the chakra arm.

"AAAH" Erza screeched "What is this"

"Is that God Slaying Magic" Lyon questioned as he saw the black flames.

"These black flames are different from Zancrow," Meredy said as she watched.

"Yes, these flames feel darker, eviler" Ultear added feeling the evil coming from the flames.

"The Amaterasu" Mavis said with wide eyes.

"You know this fire First Master," Makarov asked her.

"Its an extremely powerful fire attack the user produces black flames at the focal point of their vision" Mavis stated "It stated these flames cannot be extinguished, it can only be extinguished by its user" she explained, "But I thought only those of a certain bloodline can know that kind of attack, how does know such a powerful attack"

Erza was lucky the flames only seem to hit the chakra arm shield, she then cut off the chakra lets hit the ground and being burned by the flames.

"Huff, huff" Natsu's breath was heavy again, his right eye was bleeding and he looked completely drained of energy. "So you survived that so what I'm still going to finish you" Natsu drew his blade once again and charged at Erza prepared to strike her again. Erza drew out her kunai and the two clashed.

*CLANG* *CLANG*

The two clashed weapons, Natsu was slashing furiously while Erza kept defending. Natsu continued to swing his blade at Erza attempting to overwhelm her. As the two clashed weapons Natsu managed to knock Erza's kunai out of her hand and Erza knocked Natsu's sword out of his hand, both Natsu and Erza then jumped back each on the opposite side of the arena.

"AMAZING FOLKS THESE TWO REFUSE TO GIVE UP WITH ONLY 1 MINUTE REMAINING WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP" Chapati announced with a loud cheer from the crowd.

"I'm going to end this now" Natsu declared to Erza he was getting annoyed and angered as he did though he noticed his vision was starting to get blurry "Damn it not now," Natsu thought.

"This is doesn't have to end this way Natsu, we can talk this out," Erza told him.

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO SHUT THE HELL UP" Natsu shouted at her, "I TOLD YOU I'M NOT GOING BACK" Natsu then began to charge lighting in his hand.

"Then if you won't listen to me, THEN I'M GOING FORCE YOU TO" Erza shouted at him creating another Rasengan.

The two stared each down again and then in a second the two charged at each other at fast speed.

"ERZA AAAAAAAAAA!" Natsu shouted as he charged at her.

"NATSU UUUUUUUUUU!" Erza screams as she charged at him.

Both Natsu and Erza put their arms forward colliding their attacks. Their attacks clashed with each other, both of them putting all their might into their attack.

BOOM

It was then there was an explosion of light was created from their attacks. The explosion created a powerful shockwave making the entire crowd feel it.

"For real" Gray blocking his face from the powerful winds from the shockwave.

"What happened" Cana questioned as she shielded her eyes.

"So much power," Makarov said.

"SO COOOOOL" Jason shouted in excitement.

"Yes it was, but who exactly won this fight," Chapati said.

"We just have to wait and see" Yajima added.

The entire crowd was anxious they wanted to know who won the epic showdown Natsu or Erza. The dust then began to clear and the crowd sees giant hole deep inside the hole were the four fighters, it seems that both Gajeel and Mira fell into the hole as well. In the center of the underground they see two figures lying on the floor it was both Natsu and Erza and both were unconscious.

"BOTH TEAMS FIGHTERS ARE UNABLE TO BATTLE THIS MATCH IS A DRAW" Mato announced loudly.

A.N

There you go the fight is over, now I know ending it in a tie is a bit anticlimactic, but that was my intention on how to end this fight. This story is not purely about the dragon slayers getting revenge. I want to focus on the other Fairy Tail characters as well, especially Erza that you can tell from reading this chapter, plus I do not want to drag this fight too long.

Power Scaling here is that Natsu is as strong as Sasuke in the Five Kage Summit. Gajeel and Wendy are as strong as I say are as strong as Kakuzu I have to say. I am trying to make them powerful not unbeatable and how does Mavis knows about Amaterasu, well plot convenience.

So yeah that is it what do you guys think di you enjoy it be sure to review and I will see you later and yeah Naruto was there to dump exposition so yeah thanks for reading.

Not an update. just fixing Grammar errors those tick me off a little
