After checking them to make sure they were all right, Naruto and Sakura led the two girls towards the Hokage's building, passing through the village in the process.
While Lapis walked cautiously as if expecting a possible attack, Wendy kept looking back and forth to check the place they were in.
It looked like a normal town. With its people, its children running around laughing, its stores and restaurants, but there were things that weren't normal in a city.
For starters, most of the people had metal bands with a symbol on them, similar to the ones Naruto and Sakura had. He also noticed that most of the people also had an energy inside them similar to Naruto and Sakura's (Although Naruto's felt more different from the others).
She didn't know what that energy was, but it surely worked in a similar way to magic.
However, what caught her attention the most was that, on a mountain near the village, there were five human heads carved into the stone of the mountain.
She guessed then that, if those people were on the mountain as a monument, they were surely very famous and respected people.
"Well, here we are." said Naruto, pulling the young dragon slayer girl out of her train of thought.
The two girls looked up to see that they were approaching a large red building. That gave them the idea that the Hokage was a very important person, like a town mayor.
They passed through a series of hallways until at last, they came to some doors and shortly after, Naruto kicked them open.
"We're here!" announced Naruto with a smile.
"One of these days you'll charge the door and if that happens, you're paying for it." said Tsunade as Naruto chuckled.
"We brought the girls we found this morning." said Sakura telling the reason for their arrival.
"Well I only see one." said Shizune who was standing next to the Hokage.
It was then that Naruto, Sakura, and Lapis turned their gaze to the same spot to find that Wendy wasn't with them, except for a flashing broken outline of her form.
Naruto looked around quickly before discovering that part of the sky dragon slayer's head was peeking out of the door, as she was a bit nervous to meet the one in charge and even more so when she recognized her face as one of the ones carved into the mountain.
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle a little at how shy the girl seemed.
"Come on, Wendy, it's not going to hurt you. At least not much." said Naruto receiving a scowl from the Hokage.
Slowly, Wendy came out from behind the door and stood next to Lapis.
"H-Hello." said Wendy nervously.
"They are Wendy Marvell and Lapis Universe." said Sakura introducing the two girls to the Hokage.
"I-It's a pleasure to meet you." said Wendy nervously as she bowed.
"Whatever." said Lapis looking away.
"Okay, I'll get right to the point, who are you really? For starters, you suddenly appear after a strange light lit up the sky and not only that, but there is also a strange energy inside you that is different from chakra. I give you the opportunity to explain it by yourselves, but if you don't, I will be forced to take other measures." said Tsunade very seriously.
While Lapis looked at her with a frown, Wendy was quite nervous, as she felt as if she was in front of the guild master when he is angry.
In fact, what she mentioned made her think hard. The fact that they were in a place they had never heard of before, the fact that they say they appeared by a flash from the sky and the fact that they mentioned that chakra and not magic power.
That made her think of something she experienced a long time ago with her friends.
Edolas.
"Well, what do you have to say?" asked Tsunade.
"Well..." began Wendy before tapping her index fingers. "How should I say this?" asked Wendy looking away from the Hokage, as she knew what she was about to say would sound completely crazy to everyone. "W-We… come… from another world."
Everyone was silent for a few moments, shocked at what the sky dragon slayer had just said.
"What?" asked Sakura.
"You're saying we're in another world?" asked Lapis.
"And you expect me to believe that?" asked Tsunade being skeptical about that.
"I-It's the truth! I swear!" said Wendy raising her arms in defense.
"All right. Suppose what you say is true. How do you plan to prove it?" asked Tsunade.
Wendy became very nervous, saying that they came from another world was simple, but proving it was more complicated and difficult to do. It was then, when she remembered what she said before, about them having something different than that chakra thing.
"Excuse me, but... could you open that window, please?" asked Wendy pointing to the window behind the Hokage.
Normally, no one would heed that request in case the person asking for it intended to escape or set a trap, but Tsunade began to doubt that as she saw the pleading eyes of the sky dragon slayer.
"*Sigh* Shizune, open the window." said Tsunade, startling her assistant.
"Y-Yes." said Shizune with a nod before opening the window.
"I would advise you to stand back." said Wendy.
Tsunade arched an eyebrow at what the girl was planning, but heeded her and moved out of the way.
At that moment, Wendy began puffing out her cheeks.
"Sky Dragon's Roar!" shouted Wendy shooting a tornado out of her mouth that flew past the open window until it was lost in the horizon and disappeared shortly after.
Needless to say, the four ninjas were in shock at the display.
"She didn't perform any hand seals. And I didn't even feel any chakra in that attack. What kind of technique is that?" asked Sakura in her mind.
"Does that seem like proof enough to you?" asked Wendy hoping it was.
"Yes, it is." said Tsunade regaining her serious expression as she returned to her previous position. "So you really do come from another world."
"Y-Yes, that's right. In our world, we don't have that chakra that you have." said Wendy.
"No chakra? Then how did you do that attack earlier?" asked Naruto very curiously.
"With magic." said Wendy.
"Magic? I had heard of that, but I never thought I would see it on that level." said Shizune.
"How does that magic thing work in your world?" asked Sakura.
"Well, the magic in our world manifests through magic particles that we absorb into our bodies, which allows us to perform various attacks depending on the type of magic a person possesses." said Wendy.
"And what kind of magic do you have?" asked Tsunade.
"We..." began Wendy before glancing at Lapis. If what she could see of her was correct, then there was no doubt about it. "We are dragon slayers." said Wendy surprising the girl in the patch.
"Dragon slayers?" asked Tsunade curiously.
"Yes. I'm the sky dragon slayer to be precise." said Wendy.
"And what kind of dragon… whatever… are you?" asked Naruto looking at the girl with the patch.
Seeing everyone focusing their gaze on her, she had no choice but to answer.
"I am the water dragon slayer." said Lapis, confirming Wendy's suspicions.
"I knew it." thought Wendy surprised and happy to find another dragon slayer, especially one of her age, though there were some lingering questions about her, but she would save that for later given the situation.
"What exactly is that dragon slayer magic?" asked Tsunade.
Not only could she see that that attack didn't work with chakra, but it was also quite powerful. The most interesting thing was that it came from a girl who was Naruto's age when he graduated from the academy.
"Well, as the name suggests, it's a magic that allows the user to be able to kill a dragon." said Wendy.
"What? Kill a dragon? Is it that there are dragons in your world?" asked Naruto surprised at that.
"Not anymore. Not for a long time." said Lapis.
Despite that and the fact that all she knew about dragons was from fantasy stories, Tsunade was surprised that both girls had power great enough to do that.
"Who taught you that magic?" asked Sakura.
"In my case, it was my mother, Grandeeney." said Wendy.
"And in mine, it was my father, Lindworm." said Lapis.
"So, your parents were also dragon slayers?" asked Naruto.
"You're totally wrong." said Lapis.
"Our parents were real dragon slayers." said Wendy.
Everyone was silent to take in that revelation.
"WHAT?" asked Naruto and Sakura in shock.
"A-A real dragon taught you that magic?" asked Shizune also in shock.
Tsunade was becoming more and more interested in that magic of them. Not only did they say it was a very powerful magic, but they learned it from real dragons, the creatures that could kill with that magic.
Every time she heard more about it, the dragon slayers began to sound more and more like jinchurikis.
"Are there more dragon slayers besides you?" asked Tsunade wanting to know as much as possible about that magic.
"There are. Besides us, there are 6 other dragon slayers." began Wendy, drawing the attention of Lapis who was curious about the other dragon slayers. "First there is Natsu Dragneel, the fire dragon slayer who was raised by Igneel."
"Fire dragon slayer?" asked Lapis mentally, surprised to learn of the existence of a dragon slayer with an elemental power opposite to her own. "Surely he's not as strong as me."
"Then there's Gajeel Redfox, the iron dragon slayer raised by Metalicana." said Wendy.
"I wonder how someone like him will fight." thought Shizune.
"Then there's Laxus, the lightning dragon slayer." said Wendy.
"Lightning? Does he fight just like Kakashi-sensei?" thought Naruto remembering his masked sensei's electric jutsus.
"There's also Cobra, the poison dragon slayer." said Wendy.
"Poison?" asked Sakura mentally, horrified that someone would use poison with a similar level as Wendy.
In fact, it reminded her the way of fighting of Sasori, a member of Akatsuki.
"Then there's Sting, the white dragon slayer and Rouge, the shadow dragon slayer." said Wendy.
"Light and shadow. If those two fought together, they would be a powerful duo, no doubt." thought Tsunade. "So they were all raised by dragons, right?"
"Not all of them. You see, there are three generations of dragon slayers in our world." said Wendy.
"Three generations?! How come I didn't hear about that before?" asked Lapis mentally becoming more and more surprised at the information she was getting from the sky dragon slayer.
"Care to explain?" asked Sakura.
"Natsu, Gajeel, Lapis and I are first generation dragon slayers, as we learned our magic through our dragon parents. Laxus and Cobra are second generation dragon slayers who learned their magic through lacrima containing dragon slayer magic that were embedded in their bodies" said Wendy explaining more about dragon slayer magic.
"What are lacrima?" asked Shizune.
"They are magical crystal spheres that serve a variety of functions. Some are used to communicate with people from anywhere while others are used to store magic." explained Lapis, as that was a subject she DID know.
The four ninjas were becoming more and more amazed at the world the two girls came from.
A crystal sphere with which to communicate with each other was certainly something that many ninja would use during their missions to communicate with each other from a distance.
But what surprised them the most was the fact that one could create dragon slayer artificially with such things. If Orochimaru or Danzo had known about those things in the past (When one was a wanted criminal and the other was alive), they would have done their best to obtain them and create an army of dragon slayers to attack the village.
Good thing the first one was under house arrest and the other was dead.
At the silence, Wendy continued with her explanation.
"Lastly, Sting and Rouge are third generation dragon slayers, they learned their magic through their dragon parents, but were empowered with lacrimas of dragon slayers magic embedded in their bodies." said Wendy finishing the explanation of the generations.
"And... each generation is stronger than the previous one?" asked Sakura.
If Wendy had so much power being a first generation, they couldn't imagine the power someone from the next generation would have.
"Not exactly." said Wendy surprising the others. "Natsu was able to defeat the other dragon slayers, although he had a little help." said Wendy remembering the fights the fire dragon slayer had.
"What?! He defeated the second and third generation?! What is that guy?! A monster?!" asked Lapis in shock and imagining the fire dragon slayer as a fearsome demon.
Not only her, but everyone was also dumbfounded to know how powerful the fire dragon slayer was.
They even went so far as to wonder if it had the power level of a Hokage.
"Okay. What other abilities do dragon slayers possess?" asked Tsunade.
"For starters, dragon slayers' senses are better than anyone else's." said Lapis having shaken herself out of her shocked state.
"How better?" asked Naruto curiously.
"For example, I can smell several people hiding in the ceiling, watching us." said Lapis.
"I can also smell ramen from some stall." said Wendy.
"What? The Ichiraku stall is far away from here, and they are able to detect it from here?" thought Sakura surprised at the olfactory abilities of the two girls.
But the one who was most surprised was Tsunade. The ninja on the roof were supposed to be completely undetectable except to the most skilled ninja and the most they could detect them through chakra, but they detected them only with a sense of smell that was far greater than that of the Inuzuka clan.
"Ah. We can also devour elements similar to our magic." said Wendy.
"What does that mean?" asked Shizune.
"For example, the fire dragon slayer can devour fire, either natural or from an enemy attack, though we can't devour our own magic." said Lapis.
"And by devouring it, it allows us to restore our magic power." said Wendy.
Tsunade was becoming more and more fascinated with that magic. They were saying that, if they faced a ninja using jutsus of the same element as them, they would be at a complete disadvantage, as they wouldn't only find themselves immune to attacks, but would also be strengthened.
"Wait, if the fire dragon slayer can devour fire, then can you devour air and water? Isn't that the same as breathing and drinking?" asked Naruto.
"Actually, in order for me to recharge by eating natural air, it must be pure, unpolluted." said Wendy.
"The same with me. If I want to recharge with natural water, it must be clean and pure." said Lapis.
"Is that all?" asked Tsunade.
"No. There's also the Dragon Force." said Wendy.
"Dragon Force?" asked Naruto.
"It's the ultimate technique of a dragon slayer. When you use it, you get the strength and power of a real dragon." said Wendy.
"And you can use that technique?" asked Tsunade.
If they were able to use that technique at will, then they would be as powerful as Naruto and Sasuke.
"Well..." began Wendy.
"We don't have to tell you." said Lapis interrupting her.
"Huh? B-But..." began Wendy surprised by the interruption and trying to explain.
"No problem. It's okay." said Tsunade.
She may not have gotten all the information, but surely, Lapis, unlike Wendy, realized what could happen if someone else found out about it.
In fact, if they had appeared when the five great nations were feuding and if their information had leaked out, chances were that the rest of the villages would have launched non-stop attacks with the intention of capturing them and using their power to their advantage.
As happened with the jinchurikis.
Truth be told, if she had been in their situation, she would have done the same.
"What about the mark on your shoulder, does it have any significance?" asked Naruto pointing to the guild symbol located on the sky dragon slayer's shoulder.
"Oh, this? It's the symbol of the guild I belong to. Fairy Tail." said Wendy.
"Guild?" asked Naruto thinking that guilds were similar to ninja villages.
"In our world. Many mages join mage guilds to do various missions." said Wendy.
"What kind of missions?" asked Sakura.
"Well, some range from dealing with some bandits, monsters, locating or protecting an item, among other things." said Wendy recalling some missions she and the others performed in the guild.
"What about you Lapis? Are you joined any guilds?" asked Shizune.
"No, I'm not joined to any guild." said Lapis, to Wendy's slight surprise.
"One last question." began Tsunade catching the attention of the two girls. "If you are from another world, how did you come to this one?"
"Well, it started as an ordinary day. I signed up for a mission that consisted of protecting some ruins until a group of archaeologists arrived. When I got there, that's when I met Lapis." said Wendy.
"I was hired by the archaeologists to protect the site. That's when I found out she was meddling in my work." said Lapis pointing a thumb at the dragon slayer in the sky.
"But before we knew it, a group of hooded men suddenly appeared. We fought them off, but then, something strange happened and the next thing we knew, we woke up in this world." said Wendy.
Tsunade remained silent, analyzing all the information she had been given regarding her world and her abilities. She had to admit that there wasn't much difference between the mage guilds and the ninja villages, and neither was there much difference between the jinchurikis and the dragon slayers.
The five great nations might be at peace now, but that didn't mean there weren't other problems. If she let the girls wander off into a world they knew nothing about, sooner or later, they would attract the attention of someone who wanted to use their power to his advantage.
There was only one thing she could do to prevent that, one thing that would be beneficial to everyone.
"I have made a decision." said Tsunade drawing everyone's attention. "Until we find a way to return you to your world, you can stay in the Hidden Leaf Village."
The two girls were shocked to hear that.
"Really? We can stay?" asked Wendy.
"Yes. However, you're not just going to be guests. If you're going to stay here, you'll have to officially work as Leaf ninjas and complete missions like the others." said Tsunade, much to the surprise of the two dragon slayers.
"What? Are you sure, Lady Tsunade? They don't have chakra." said Sakura.
"But they have that magic and mind-blowing abilities. No mission will be a problem for them." said Naruto supporting the idea.
"If we accomplish those missions, will we get paid?" asked Lapis.
"Naturally." said Tsunade.
"Hmm. Well then, that's fine with me." said Lapis crossing her arms and turning her gaze away.
"Thank you very much. You are very kind, Miss Tsunade." said Wendy with a smile.
Tsunade closed her eyes as she gave her a sweet smile and a golden, glowing aura surrounded her.
"Of course. It's the least I can do." said Tsunade.
"Hey, Wendy." whispered Naruto standing next to the sky dragon slayer as he covered the side of his mouth with the back of his hand. "Don't give her shit. As young as she looks, she's actually a wrinkled old woman of I don't know how many years."
"Did you say something, Naruto? I didn't hear you right." said Tsunade with the same face as before, but with a dark, shadowy aura surrounding her.
"N-Nothing! Nothing!" exclaimed Naruto in fear.
"In that case, I'll go get the necessary documents for it." said Shizune.
"But before that, there's one more thing." said Tsunade.
"What is it?" asked Naruto as the Hokage turned her gaze to the two dragon slayers.
"Wendy, Lapis, I want you to fight each other." said Tsunade.
The room was flooded with silence as everyone was processing what the Hokage had just said.
"EH?!" exclaimed the two dragon slayers in unison.
