Hello all Storm here with a new story! Yes a new story, and one that's definitely unique, as here we'll be seeing Naruto become a Dragon Eater! Meaning he won't be trained by a Dragon or get a Lacrima implanted into him, he's going to be devouring a Dragon. Though the Dragon he ends up eating might anger several of you, all I ask you give it a chance to see how things go. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"Wh-what did you just say?" Demanded Macao Conbolt, a member of the Fairy Tail Guild.
Macao is a slim, mildly muscular man of average height with fair skin, short, straight, slicked back dark blue hair. He has linear dark eyebrows, dark eyes, and a prominent nose with a flat, rectangular front. The lower part of his face is covered in quite a large amount of stubble, which includes a thin mustache. Macao's guild mark is located on his right bicep, positioned just below his shoulder.
Macao's outfit consisted of a knee-length white jacket, often kept open, with a wide, dark purple collar and matching edges, with the sleeves kept rolled up. The sleeves of the simple, dark shirt he wears underneath this jacket are visible sprouting from the latter's own sleeves, and reach down below his elbows. He dons brown, pinstriped pants held up by a lighter-colored belt bearing a snake-like pattern, with a simple, square-shaped buckle, partially obscured by his shirt, and a very distinctive pair of shoes, adorned with a leopard pattern. Around his neck Macao wears a large, serpentine necklace, which is held up by a chain.
At the moment, Macao and the rest of the Fairy Tail Guild were looking on in shock, disbelief and despair at Lahar, the Captain of the Custody Enforcement Unit of the Magic Council.
Lahar is a slim man of average height with fair skin, long, tied up black hair; two bangs frame his face and an unruly tuft covers his forehead, though his lavender eyes are still visible behind his circular lensed glasses. His attire is that of a high-ranking Council associate's, consisting of a long, blue jacket with pink edges and strapped cuffs over a high-collared shirt bearing the Council's signature ankh-like symbol. His attire also features white pants held up by a simple belt, white gloves, a white cape held closed by a gem-decorated buckle, and distinctive shoes, seemingly bearing a serpentine pattern.
"As I said, I'm afraid that Tenrou Island has been destroyed-" Lahar said, only for Macao to grab him by his collar and pulled him in close, glaring at the Rune Knight.
"We heard that! We want to know what happened to our friends on the island?!" Macao demanded with everyone else nodding in agreement, caring more about where their guildmates that had gone to Tenrou for the S-Class Trials were, if they were safe.
"How did you even know where Tenrou Island was?" Questioned Wakaba Mine, narrowing his eyes at Lahar at the fact he even knew where Tenrou Island was, which is supposed to be a secret for only Fairy Tail members to know.
Wakaba is a man of average height, with fair skin and is distinguishable by his brown hair, which is kept in an ostentatious pompadour-like style that protrudes frontwards from the top of his head in a large, curly and fluffy tuft. He is almost always seen with his eyes either closed or semi-open. His guild mark is yellow in color, and is located near his left pectoral. His outfit was a loose, light green shirt decorated with many motifs of stylized dark-colored flowers with five petals, a pair of pants cut down below Wakaba's knees, held up by a light belt adorned with many black stars partially hidden by his shirt, and sandals held up by striped bands. Along with him having his constant cigar hanging loosely from his mouth.
Lahar looked at all the Mages, seeing they wanted to know what happened to their friends, but also how he was aware of Tenrou Island's location, making him sigh before nodding.
"Given what's happened, I believe you deserve to know the truth. Your guild had been infiltrated by a member of the Magic Council and Rune Knights using the alias Mest Gryder. He had infiltrated Fairy Tail as a mole to find information that would get the guild shutdown. Having made sure he was part of the S-Class Trials to travel to Tenrou Island, allowing us to travel to its location." Revealed Lahar, keeping Doranbolt's real name a secret for his own safety.
While the Mages were shocked and angered that their guild had been infiltrated by a mole from the Magic Council, just to get them shutdown.
"As for the Mages that were located on the island, I'm afraid…they are gone. Mest had learned the Black Wizard Zeref was residing on Tenrou Island, but he was able to escape during the fighting between Fairy Tail and the Dark Guild Grimoire Heart. However, Mest informed us that before he vanished, Zeref had said the name Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse. Acnologia arrived soon after and destroyed Tenrou Island in its entirety, the Fairy Tail members along with it." Lahar said, much to everyone's shock and devastation .
"And you…all you Rune Knights just stood back and watched it happen?!" Shouted Alzack Connell, glaring at Lahar.
Alzack is a young man of average height with tanned skin, long black hair that covers the right part of his face. His eyes are black as well, and the right one is always obscured by his hair. With him wearing a long brown coat resembling a poncho with tasseled edges together with a shirt and torn pants with strips similar to the ones on his coat hanging from their edges - these being held up by a studded belt with a skull-shaped buckle. On his feet he wears simple shoes, or boots. He has a case on his right hip, attached to a belt, in which he usually keeps one of his guns, consisting of a large leather belt, seemingly decorated by concentric circles in its widest part.
"There is nothing any of us could have done. If we were to have tried interfering, the only thing we'd have succeeded is providing Acnologia more targets." Lahar retorted before he was shoved back towards the door by Macao.
"Just…Just get out of our guild. Run back to the Council and tell them they can be happy that Fairy Tail's now lost our Master as well as several of our friends and family." Said Macao, with Lahar straightening his clothes and pushing his glasses up as he looked at them.
"Perhaps it doesn't mean much, but neither I nor Mest wished for such a thing to happen." Said Lahar before taking his leave, knowing his presence was no longer wanted.
Once he was gone, everyone sat down as it was really starting to sink in what they just heard, that Makarov, Gildarts, and everyone else was really gone. That in a single moment they lost their Master, their Ace, and some of their strongest members.
Several members began crying at the loss of their guildmates and friends, Jet and Droy of Team Shadow Gear being among those taking it the hardest at the loss of their teammate and crush, Levy McGarden. None of them being sure what to even do now, only that they would take time to mourn the devastating loss they've suffered.
With no one noticing one member slip away and run out of the guild hall, followed by a flying cat with wings.
*With Wendy*
'They…they can't be gone! They can't be!' Thought Wendy Marvell as she ran out of the guild hall and out of Magnolia Town.
Wendy is a petite girl with fair skin, long, dark blue hair that reaches down to her waist, with two bangs framing her face which reach down to her chest and kept in pigtails held together by two animal ear like attachments, and brown eyes, as well as elongated canines that all Dragon Slayers have. With her attire consisting of a flowing green dress with a triangular pattern near the top that's divided into three colors being yellow, green, and blue, and crossing pattern around the rest of the dress, with it also being held up by a yellow hoop around her neck connected to the top of the dress, along with thick orange bands around each of her forearms, and ankle tied sandals on her feet.
The bluenette didn't stop running until she was out of Magnolia Town and in the forest, before she soon stopped and leaned against a tree. With Wendy sliding down it and pulling her legs up to her chest as she began crying over the loss of her Master, her friends, and teammates. Not believing that they're actually gone, wiped out along with Tenrou Island by a Dragon of all things.
Feeling the same pain she felt when she lost Master Roubaul and the rest of Cait Shelter, even if none of it was actually real, it was real for Wendy.
'First Grandeeney, then Cait Shelter, now Fairy Tail?! Why?!' Thought Wendy as she cried, wondering why she kept losing people she cared about.
Before she felt touch her, making Wendy look to see her Exceed Partner, Carla.
Carla is a small, white Exceed with pink ears, brown eyes, and two whiskers on each side of her face. With her wearing a white sundress that was black along the bottom, a dark blue bow at the top of the dress, black leggings, and a pink bow at the end of her tail.
"Wendy…" Carla said, looking at her friend sadly as she wiped her eyes.
"I should've been there, Carla! I should've been there!" Wendy cried since she could've gone with everyone else to Tenrou Island, but instead she chose to stay, not believing she was ready to take the S-Class Trials yet.
"Then you would've just…then you would be gone." Said Carla, stopping her from saying she would've died too, not wanting to make her feel worse or imagine Wendy being wiped out by Acnologia.
"I could've done something! Mest came to me to be partners for the Trial, you even said you didn't trust him! If I went to Tenrou, then I could've watched him and found out he was a spy! I could've helped fight Grimoire Heart! I…I could've…" Said Wendy, only to start crying again as she thought over everything she could've done to help save her friends, but didn't because she didn't think she was ready to be an S-Class Mage.
Carla could only look at her friend sadly before sitting down beside her to try and offer her some comfort, along with hoping that things won't get any worse. But the Exceed honestly wasn't sure how things could possibly get worse after this.
*Unknown Location*
Meanwhile, within another part of Fiore in a forest, a young boy was busy skinning a deer.
The boy was twelve-years-old with fair skin, bright, spiky blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, and three unique whisker-like marks on his cheeks. With him wearing an off-white shirt with a red flame on it, a dark green long-sleeved shirt underneath, dark blue shorts, and blue sandals.
This is Naruto Uzumaki, and at the moment he was out hunting in the forest surrounding his home village. Having already succeeded in catching a few fish, four rabbits, a bear, and now two deer, pleasing Naruto at catching plenty of game.
Once he was done skinning the dear, the whiskered blonde began cutting away all the good meat and cooking it with some Fire Magic, having done the same with all his other catches. Before he then stored the cooked meat and new pelt away in his Requip Space, and began making his way back to his village.
'Hopefully, I'll get a good amount of Jewels for these pelts and meat.' Thought Naruto, eager to see how much he'll get today for what he's caught.
Given that hunting was Naruto's main means of supporting himself, due to him being an orphan and having no other family members. Leaving him to fend for himself and make sure he had anything he would need, which lead him to learn how to hunt. Something that was made easier when he was able to learn Fire Magic, Chain Magic, and Requip Magic from some traveling Mages. All of which he uses to hunt and defend himself from any trouble.
With Naruto's Magic and growing hunting skills allowing him to always catch a good amount of game to sell their pelts and meat. And given how he lives outside the village in a hut, where he can just hunt and forage for food, Naruto's been able to save up a decent amount of Jewels from all his trades. Really only using them for absolute necessities that he would need.
After he got back to the village, Naruto went to sell the pelts and meat he's gathered, with it not being long before he returning home, pleased at the generous amount of Jewels he got.
'I might soon have enough to leave and join a guild.' Thought Naruto, smiling at the idea of joining a Mage's Guild.
While he's fine with how his life is at the moment, the Uzumaki couldn't deny the excitement of joining a Mage's Guild. Having the chance to take different Job Requests, to go out and see new places, mastering his Magic to even higher levels, and getting paid even more Jewels than he does for just hunting.
'It'd also be nice to have friends, too.' Naruto thought, his smile dimming a little, given he didn't really have any friends and it did get lonely only having himself for company.
Shaking his head and pushing those thoughts aside for the moment, Naruto continued on his way home, knowing he'd still need more Jewels to get anywhere that a guild is located.
*Later*
Naruto shot up in his bed when he felt the ground suddenly start shaking, before shuddering at a loud roar that intensified the shaking. Only to then start hearing screaming and several things being destroyed, making the whiskered blonde shoot out of bed and run outside.
'Are we being attacked by Dark Mages?' Naruto thought in worry and fear that Dark Mages could be attacking them.
But the moment Naruto got outside and headed to the village, he paled in horror at the sight before him. Seeing that the village was being attacked, only it wasn't Dark Mages, instead being something so much worse.
"D-Dr-Dr-Dr-Dra-Dra-Dragon!" Said Naruto, not believing a Dragon was actually here and now attacking them.
The Dragon was truly massive in size, with his entire upper body covered in black, round, scales, which in turn are decorated by spiraling, blue markings. His lower body, specifically his chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are gray in color, and appear to be rather smooth. His eyes are white and beady, and his head is round and blunt with four, large, elongated plates extending backward. His mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth, and attached to his chin is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. His large wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird's. The scales disappear at the end of his tail, which, in of itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape.
What makes it even worse is Naruto that recognized it as no ordinary Dragon, instead knowing it was Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse.
Naruto was snapped out of his shock when Acnologia roared and swung his hand, tearing apart several buildings and people that weren't fast enough to get out of the way. With the Uzumaki crying out as he jumped out of the way of the debris flying everywhere.
"Everyone! Form up and hit him as hard as you can!" Someone shouted, making Naruto look and see all the Mages from the village gathering together and launching spell after spell at Acnologia.
Only for the Black Dragon to roar and swinging his arm at the attacks, batting them away like they were flies. Before he then lifted up his tail and swung it at the Mages, forcing them to move out of the way to avoid being ripped apart. But a few weren't fast enough and seemingly exploded from the force of the impact of the Dragons tail.
With Naruto's eyes widening at the sight before he quickly began moving as Acnologia continued his rampage, while the Mages kept throwing attacks at him. Unsure what to do, but not wanting to just run away when he had Magic too, Naruto created a fireball and threw it at Acnologia. Only for the Dragon King to not even seem to notice it, as he instead turned back towards the other Mages attacking him. Unleashing another roar that ripped apart the ground, trees, and buildings, while sending the Mages flying away.
Gulping at the sight, Naruto shook his head before shooting a gold chain out of his hand at Acnologia's arm, managing to wrap it around the limb. Which also, unfortunately, managed to get Acnologia's attention from the feel of the chain around his arm. The whiskered blonde shivered as the Black Dragon growled and turned towards him, only to cry out when Acnologia jerked his arm to the side. Yanking Naruto off the ground and into the air, almost sending him flying if he didn't hold onto the chain.
'I'm so dead!' Thought Naruto, panicking as he was flung around, before looking at Acnologia's head and created another fireball.
Focusing and waiting for the right moment, Naruto quickly threw the fireball at Acnologia's face, specifically at his eye. Only to end up missing and hit him right below his eye, making the Dragon King growl at the hit before roaring as he then flew up into the air, dragging Naruto along with him. With the whiskered blonde screaming as they flew up higher and higher from the ground. Knowing if he fell, then he'd definitely end up dead, and if by some miracle he survived, he'd likely wish he was dead.
But before Naruto could do anything, his eyes widened and screamed when Acnologia suddenly made a sharp turn towards the side, swinging his arm as he did so before bringing it to a stop. With the force of the turn snapping the chain of to the side, making Naruto losing his grip on it, much to his horror. Before he then began plummeting back towards the ground.
'No! No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Come on, think of something!' Thought Naruto while desperately looking around for something, anything, he'd be able to grab with his chains and stop his fall.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to see anything when a massive shadow descended over him, making Naruto shiver and shakily look behind him. His horror only growing when he saw Acnologia flying right at him!
Naruto could only scream as the next thing he knew, Acnologia opened his mouth and descended on him, snapping his jaws shut around the Uzumaki before swallowing him. The Dragon King roared at dealing with the nuisance that thought it could injure him. Before flying back down to finish destroying the rest of the village and killing the remaining humans.
Still feeling angered and annoyed from being unable to finish off those Dragon Slayers he smelled on that island, before that barrier appeared and shielded them from Dragon's Roar. Along with then being unable to find where Zeref escaped off to deal with him, either. Leaving Acnologia to start destroying any towns, villages or humans he came across to sate his desire for destruction.
*With Naruto*
Naruto, meanwhile, had continued screaming in horror that Acnologia had actually eaten him, even more so that he's still alive as he went into the Dragon's mouth and down his throat. Only stopping when he landed, grunting at the impact and the squishy landing he had.
Though when he sat up, Naruto couldn't help but shudder in horror and disgust at seeing he's actually inside Acnologia's stomach right now.
'I was just…eaten…by a Dragon…' Thought Naruto, feeling light-headed before he soon fell backwards and passed out at the realization.
*Later*
'Ugh…I just had the freakiest dream.' Naruto thought, groaning as he began waking up.
Not believing the crazy dream he just had, that his village was attacked by Acnologia and he was destroying everything, killing everyone. That the Mages in the village worked to fight him off, only for none of them to so much as scratch him. Then Naruto actually tried attacking the Dragon King himself, but ended up being swallowed by him, instead.
'I think I'm gonna cut back on eating meat for a while.' Thought Naruto as he opened his eyes, only to go still as rather than seeing the inside of his hut, he was surrounded by walls of sticky looking flesh.
Sitting up, Naruto looked around blankly as he began seeing it wasn't a dream and that he had really been eaten by Acnologia. With the whiskered blonde immediately screaming as he shot up to his feet and ran around, terrified and panicked that he'd actually been eaten.
After a few moments and managing to calm himself down, Naruto shivered as he looked around, trying to think of a way to escape as he refused to be digested.
'Okay, okay, um…uh, his…his body structure looked kind of like a humans. And if I'm in his stomach that means I'm somewhere in the middle of his lower torso, which should also be pretty close to where his heart is.' Naruto thought while looking around.
Knowing there'd be two spots connected to the stomach, one that goes up to the mouth and the other…going out the other end. Before he looked up and saw the opening that'd take him up to the mouth, but also bring him closer to Acnologia's heart and lungs.
'I can't go all the way up to his mouth, he'll just chew me up this time. And even if I did get out, I'd have no idea on how long I was unconscious for, so he could be flying now, for all I know. But if I can get up there and then cut my way out, I'll be right near his heart and lungs. And if I can damage those enough, he'll be taken out of the sky, and I would be safe inside here when he crashes. With any luck, it'll also kill him, so I don't have to worry about that. Either way, he'll be dead or in a position to not try chasing after me when I get out of here.' Thought Naruto, nodding to himself at having a plan that, hopefully, won't end up killing him.
Shooting a chain up into Acnologia's stomach, Naruto stumbled a little when he felt Acnologia suddenly shift from the position he was in. But felt some satisfaction that he was able to injure the Black Dragon, as well.
"Yeah! Doesn't feel so good, does it?!" Naruto shouted, doubting Acnologia could even hear him, but didn't care.
After making sure the chain was in deep enough and wouldn't come loose, the Uzumaki began climbing up it towards the stomach entrance. Once he was close enough, Naruto took a few deep breaths before swinging towards it, gagging as he grabbed onto the flesh.
'Please let this be quick.' Thought Naruto, gagging as he forced himself to squeeze through the fleshy tunnel and began moving up it.
Crawling as quickly as he could up the tube, Naruto stopped where he was and listened carefully when he heard something.
Ba-Dump
Ba-Dump
Ba-Dump
Ba-Dump
'The heart.' Naruto thought, seeing he's gotten close enough to hear the heart, and if he listened closely enough, he could hear the sound of breathing from the lungs.
Knowing that now was his chance, but also knowing he needed to be quick or else Acnologia may try doing something to kill him inside his body. Naruto pulled a knife out of his Requip Space and stabbed it into the tube, doing this multiple times to cut through it. Gritting his teeth as he could now feel Acnologia thrashing around from the sudden pain inside him.
"Come…on!" Said Naruto giving a final stab and pulled the knife down, slicing through the tube, allowing him to pull himself out.
Gasping as he got out of the enclosed space, Naruto's eyes widened as he looked around the inside of Acnologia's body, seeing his internal organs and skeleton. Before his attention turned towards the heart and lungs, seeing how big they were.
"If you didn't like that, you really won't like this!" Naruto yelled before firing a chain at the trachea, stabbing into it, causing the lungs to suddenly expand greatly from the pain.
Pulling himself up to the trachea, the whiskered blonde took out his knife and began cutting through it as fast as he could. Grinning once he succeeded in severing the lungs, only to cry out when Acnologia seemed to be falling as he felt he couldn't breathe, anymore.
With one thing done, Naruto looked down at the heart before he released his chain, shouting as he thrust his knife forward at it. Only to instantly shut his mouth closed when his knife stabbed through the heart and his body ripped through it, sending him into the blood being pumped inside. Before it began bursting out of the hole he made, soon leaving Naruto lying in it with wide eyes.
'…I think…I think I'm gonna…just…stay here…for a moment…' Thought Naruto, trying to come to terms with the fact he's currently inside the heart of the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, who he just stabbed.
Only to be thrown around, when he could feel Acnologia suddenly crash into the ground from having his lungs severed and now having just had his heart stabbed, as well. The Uzumaki feeling his body skidding across the ground before coming to a stop, wherever it was he just crash landed.
'Okay…just gotta…' Naruto thought as he slowly got up and crawled out of the heart.
Once he was out of the heart, Naruto began crawling his way up towards Acnologia's mouth, knowing it'd be safe to go out that way now. With it thankfully not taking long for him to get out, after having cut open his mouth, and crawled out.
Naruto panted and shivered once he was outside again, seeing that wherever he was covered in snow and ice, and that it was by the ocean.
"Where the hell am-" Naruto said, only to stiffen and freeze when he felt and heard Acnologia shift in the snow.
Shaking in fear, Naruto slowly turned his head to see that Acnologia was somehow still alive and looking directly at him. Terrified that he was still going to die, Naruto closed his eyes only to open one when he heard Acnologia seem to start chuckling weakly.
"The Dragon…King…killed…by a…human…brat…heh…ironic…" Acnologia muttered before soon going still, making Naruto release the breath he didn't know he was holding.
"…Heh, uh…long live the king." Said Naruto, unsure what else to say to that, before he collapsed into the snow panting heavily at what he just did and had to do.
Looking at his hands and body, the whiskered blonde found his entire body and clothes completely covered in blood. Making him start rolling around in the snow to try and get as much of it off as he could.
Once that was done, Naruto stood up and looked around, seeing that along being somewhere that seemed pretty frozen and cold, as well as close to ocean, it was also filled with frozen, dead trees.
"Guess I might as well start making a fire." Naruto muttered, going over to the trees, using his Fire Magic to melt away the ice and break off some branches to get started on a fire.
Wanting to at least set up a camp for the time being, before setting out to try and find any sign of civilization. All while hoping that wherever Acnologia ended up crashing, it wasn't far away from anything.
*Timeskip-One Month*
Unfortunately, Naruto learned rather quickly that wherever he was, it was nowhere near any form of civilization. With it seeming to be he was on an island, having walked along the coast and didn't see it stretch out in any direction, only seeing more of the ocean.
Leading him to start setting up a permanent camp near Acnologia's body, which had also become his main source of food given how large it was and the cold helping keep it preserved. Along with having found a nearby lake for water, making sure to boil it first to kill any bacteria and parasites in it. He'd also found other animals to eat, including bears, foxes, seals, wolves, and rabbits.
Though, hunting and setting up his camp wasn't all Naruto was doing, with him still searching for a way off the island. Having gone out to explore how large it was to find either a village or some other means to get away. Only to find nothing during each of his trips, much to his frustration, which also kept him distracted from how his body continued to change once he began eating Acnologia's meat.
Unaware of how his whisker marks were becoming more pronounced, that his canines were becoming sharper and elongated, nor of how his pupils were slowly narrowing into slits.
But some things that Naruto did notice was feeling how his Magic seemed to be growing stronger and larger each day, along with his senses seeming to improve as well. The most noticeable change, though, was that his Fire Magic was no longer the normal red, orange, and yellow color. Instead it was a dark blue color and seemed far stronger than before.
While the changes surprised and confused Naruto, he didn't complain as it definitely helped him fight off the more predatory and bigger animals.
Eventually, though, after being unable to find anything or anyone else on the island, Naruto got to work on building a boat to get off on his own. Making some makeshift tools to cut down trees and put them together to build a boat, along with using other materials. Namely, breaking off some of Acnologia's bones from inside his body to help build it and make sure it's sturdy enough.
That wasn't all he harvested from Acnologia's body, either. Having also removed several of his scales as well, but not for his boat or tools. Naruto instead harvested the scales so they could be made into clothing and armor, maybe even weapons as well. Figuring that Dragon scales would make better materials than most, along with offering a lot more protection. With him having also removed some of his claws and teeth as well, mostly for them to be trophies and proof of what he did. Wanting to make sure he harvested everything he could from the deceased Black Dragon.
Given despite his reputation and what he did, Acnologia was still the Dragon King, and Naruto would prefer not just letting his entire body rot away or be eaten by animals. Believing it'd be better to put everything he could get off of it to use, so nothing goes to waste.
And the one thing Naruto made sure to take with him, was Acnologia's heart.
Having heard from some Mages that passed through the village about Dragon Lacrimas, which were created from the processed heart of a Dragon. And if they were implanted into someone, they would get Dragon Slayer Magic of that Dragon's Element. Something Naruto couldn't deny was something that'd be very good to have. And with all the Jewels he's saved up over the years, he should have enough to have the Lacrima made and implanted into himself.
Plus, he's already a Dragon Slayer, so he might as well get the Magic to go with the title.
'Okay, that should do it.' Naruto thought, look over his finished boat with a satisfied look, believing it'll help get him back to civilization or at least the mainland, and then get to civilization on his own.
With him having already made sure to gather up what was left of the Dragon meat and all the other animals he could find, along with plenty of water. Not knowing how long it'll be before he gets to the mainland, the Uzumaki wanted to be fully prepared for a long trip.
Though before he pushed the boat into the water, he turned towards Acnologia's body, which was now basically just the skeleton left after he finished harvesting everything. Giving the Dragon King one last look before nodding, before he pushed his boat into the water and got inside to begin sailing away. Eager to get back to the mainland and hopefully somewhere much warmer.
All the while being unaware of the side effects that will come from consuming the flesh of a Dragon, and the consequences of the events that have transpired. Unaware of the power he's gained from what he's done and will do. Nor of the enemies and allies he'll make as a result of what's happened and will occur.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we start out at the Fairy Tail Guild where they're just learning what happened on Tenrou Island and the loss of their friends and guildmates. While also seeing that Wendy didn't go with them and chose to stay behind, not believing she was ready to take the S-Class Trials, only to feel serious Survivors Guilt over not going, believing she could've made a difference if she'd been there to help fight Acnologia.
Before we then go to Naruto out hunting, learning about his backstory as an orphan leading him to learn how to hunt to earn Jewels, and learning Magic from some travelling Mages. Only for Acnologia to attack his village that night, sating his desire for destruction after failing to kill the Dragon Slayers on Tenrou before Fairy Sphere was activated, and unable to find Zeref when he escape. Leading him to simply start attacking and destroying any place he came across, with Naruto's home being his latest target. With Naruto ending up getting eaten by Acnologia after annoying him enough, but is able to survive as he lands in Acnologia's stomach, passing out in the process.
Then we see Naruto waking up, initially believing it was just a dream, until he sees he's still inside Acnologia, making him freak out and panic. Until he thinks of a plan to escape, crawling out of the stomach and cutting his way out to severe Acnologia's lungs and stab his heart…which ends with the Dragon King crashing to the ground and dying.
Now before anyone riots at Acnologia dying in such a way, for those keeping up wit the 100 Year Quest Arc, just because a Dragon dies and is eaten, doesn't mean they're permanently gone, I won't say more than that to avoid spoilers, but it be made clear as the story continues.
Anway we see Naruto try to find out where he is, only to realize he's stuck on an island, leading him to set up camp near Acnologia's body, which he uses as his main food source with the rest of the wildlife he comes across. Along with harvesting Acnologia's scales, claws, teeth, and heart for clothes/armor/weapons, trophies, and the latter to make into a Dragon Lacrima to gain Dragon Slayer Magic. All while unaware of the changes happening to him from eating Dragon meat.
Finally we see Naruto decide to make a boat after failing to find anything or anyone to get off the island, instead making his own way off. Finishing after a month and getting as much food and water as he can get, not knowing how long the trip will be. Before he sets out, not knowing of everything that will happen as a result of what's occurred. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
