I Own Nothing!

Different Instructions! First Job Begins!

Naruto came to in a dark, damp sewer.

'This place still looks like this.'

"Of course it does brat, you never learned how to change its décor. Not that it matters. Ever since that seal was removed I explore every part of your mind that it doesn't matter even if I'm in a sewer, your thoughts keep me entertained, and questioning my sanity to die with you."

"What's that supposed to mean," Naruto said as he walked up on Kurama, who looking at some of his thoughts.

The fox hadn't changed much in terms of appearance. It still had red-orange fur with red eyes, and possessed the upper-body structure of a human, complete with opposable thumbs on its clawed hands. Ever since Yang-Kurama reunited with Yin-Kurama it grew in size, now much bigger than even Gyuki, even though when it was only Yang-Kurama it was still taller than the bijuu.

"It means you picked up on some of that old white haired guys habits," Kurama chuckled looking at rather interesting thoughts.

"SHUT UP YOU DAMN PERVERTED FOX!"

Kurama chuckled again before looking at Naruto, all playfulness gone from his eyes. He spoke in his classic gravelly and slightly demonic tone. "I assume you know why you are here?"

Naruto nodded. Kurama responded with a, "Good." The fox then sighed and sat down.

"Ever since we came to Fiore I've been feeling a change in my powers. While not lethal to you or anyone around you it is lethal to the environment if you don't know how to control it. While the chakra, or I guess in this case Magic, cloak and our fully melded Tailed Beast Mode, or as you dubbed, Kurama Mode, are still the same things have changed. That change is the stages of your regular cloak. Originally when you took my power you couldn't use the cloaks anymore. When we began to work together you could only use them to place them on others. This has changed. While you can still do the Initial Jinchuriki Form at will the cloaks you had before any of this happened is a problem. While you cannot use the Version 1 form of my cloak unless bestowing the power unto someone, the Version 2 form is accessible now."

Naruto paused for a moment, trying to think of the Version 2 cloak as he had never been conscious when he used it. It then clicked to him, the time when he fought Orochimaru when he got back from training with Jiraiya, and when fighting Pain.

"You mean when my skin peels off and your chakra, or in this case Magic, are converted into humanoid shape?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, we can work on that, but I have another question."

Kurama nodded.

"Since this is Magic instead of chakra won't we need to practice to be more familiar with Magic before saying that we are still in perfect control of the cloak and Tailed Beast Mode?"

Kurama nodded. It was a smart question, and he wasn't quite sure of the answer. Common sense would say that they should practice it anyway, but there could be problems with that.

"We can practice it, but we must do so in a more private area when we do that. In fact, I'm only letting you practice in that room as only your master knows how to get to it. Besides, our full power would probably shatter the dome."

Naruto nodded before saying, "Let's get started then," and left his mindscape.

XxX

"Again," Sasuke ordered.

Natsu groaned before building up fire Magic in his feet again. He took back what he said about Sasuke being an easy trainer when he first met him; he was just as much of a slave driver as Naruto. It was ridiculous. Also, unlike Naruto, whenever Erza and Mira weren't around he STILL made him learn. He hated learning. He would rather be like Naruto, but then again Naruto was actually a good bit smarter than him so he couldn't really argue. From the little Sasuke told him about their past, other than this one pink haired girl, who he would love to meet solely based on the fact she had pink hair, he was the strategist of their team.

Gray laughed at Natsu's misery. It was cut short however as he felt the effects of his teachers eye Magic on him. He turned, seeing his teachers crimson eyes glaring at him. There were two tomoi in each.

"Gray, what are you supposed to be doing?"

"Working on my Ice-Make: Connecting Lance."

"And why aren't you?"

Gray immediately got back to work.

"Aren't you pushing them a little far Sasuke," Mirajane asked.

"No, I'm not pushing them hard enough. When Naruto and I were their age trained ten times harder than these kids."

Mira looked at the near insane glint in Sasuke's eyes before sighing. She grabbed the drink in his hand before walking away.

"That's enough Ochoi for you."

"GIVE IT BACK!"

XxX

Naruto awoke from his haze at another failed seven-tailed version of the Version 2 cloak. They had mastered the one-tailed, which he couldn't do in the Version 1 cloak, two-tailed, three-tailed, four-tailed, five-tailed, and six-tailed cloaks, but seven-tails was proving to be difficult. Naruto knew they had to at least get it down to seven-tails for the affects on the environment to stop, well at least he hoped. Seven-tails was Chomei's number of tails, and she was a bug, so she should be close to nature, he hoped.

He growled as he looked at the dome. Six-tails made it shake, seven-tails may cause some cracks. He was impressed it held on this long however, if he went any higher he was worried it would crack and Magic would leak. He would need to stop it immediately if it did.

"Again," Kurama said, irritation his voice as his vessel, he was too proud to call Naruto a friend, even if he was one, failed again. He began to give Naruto his Magic again.

"LET'S DO THIS!" Naruto said, his voice being changed by Kurama's Magic. Seven-tails sprouted from his back. A crater exploded into existence beneath his feet. A dark red, nearly black, layer of Magic enveloped him, and the existing tails. He looked like an almost fully reproduced Kurama in miniature form. His ears became shaper, his eyes disappeared leaving white holes in their place, and when he opened his mouth the Magic formed small pointy red teeth. There was a giant white space in his mouth.

"Now, to test this out."

Naruto walked over to another area of the room that wasn't crater infested. He noticed that as he moved the dome began to shake, at a much faster rate than when he was in the six-tailed form. He had to do this quick.

He opened his palm, a light purple orb forming in it. It began to change its shape as if it was a miniature shuriken.

"Okay, so we can do the Rasengan and Sky God Style: Rasengan, the only thing left is, Sky God Style: Rasenshuriken."

The ball became bigger, expanding in size and screeching noise. Once it reached the size he wanted he smiled.

He roared, a bestial noise coming from him before he slammed the shuriken into the ground. The crater it left was massive, and the explosion destroyed the dome.

XxX

Everyone in Magnolia felt the surge of demonic Magic, frightening them to the core. The thing that made them more afraid was that it was coming from their favorite guild, Fairy Tail.

XxX

Sasuke put Natsu and Gray under an illusion the second he felt Naruto's Magic spike. The two boys didn't need to feel that terror. However, when he looked at Mirajane she was quivering on the ground, nearly unconscious from the terrifying force.

'Damn it Naruto.'

XxX

Makarov and Gildarts snapped their heads up immediately at Naruto's spike in Magic. While they were the only ones who could tell that the Magic was Naruto's, other than Sasuke, the entire guild was frozen in fear. Even Laxus was paralyzed with the sense of death it gave off, in mass.

Gildarts was quite literally afraid of that Naruto boy now. While this wasn't stronger than his own Magic power it was pretty damn close. Only two levels away and those weren't very big gapes in power.

Makarov didn't know what to do. He didn't know Illusion Magic and neither did Gildarts. He did tell Gildarts to hold everyone back as he went down to go see Naruto. He was pissed.

XxX

Naruto let the cloak recede as he smiled.

"Training, complete, at least for now."

"COMPLETE! BOY, THAT MAGIC WAS FELT THROUGHOUT THE ENITRE CITY OF MAGNOLIA. I'D BE SURPRISED IF THE ENTIRE DAMN COUNTRY OF FIORE DIDN'T FEEL IT!"

Naruto felt small under Makarov's presence. While he knew he could beat the man in a serious fight, thanks to Kurama, he was tired from using the seven-tails cloak. He still hadn't been able to negate the effect of feeling drained after using the cloaks. Even after deactivating Kurama's full power he didn't feel drained, but now he felt exhausted.

"I didn't know it broke the dome."

"THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE!"

Naruto gulped. "No one noticed it was mine right?"

Makarov calmed down, although you could still feel his anger coming off in palpable waves.

"No one noticed, except me, Gildarts, and I would assume Sasuke."

"Oh yeah, Sasuke knows all right," Naruto said, remembering all the times Sasuke felt Naruto using Kurama's power.

"What was that power boy? It felt as if fear, death, and rage were coursing through you and into the world. It's polluting."

"Well, it shouldn't be anymore. I should have complete control of it as of now. And that power is something I still can't tell you, although you won't believe me when I do."

Makarov nodded, although he still wasn't completely calm.

"Make sure this doesn't happen again. I only want you using that power to protect hose precious to you, NO EXCEPTIONS. No training Natsu by sparing with this power, are we clear?"

"Yes."

"Good."

With that Makarov left. However, Kurama wasn't done with him.

'Kurama, next time remind me to meld or Magic together before we train again.'

"I know, you blonde idiot. Also, screw what I said about you training with Sasuke. You're training with me, right now; first off I want fifty laps around this place, no avoiding craters, then fifty Rasengans, all becoming slightly stronger, then…"

Naruto muted the fox out. "Yeah, yeah, you damn fox."

XxX

Sasuke growled as he looked at Natsu's pathetic attempt to get out of his illusion. The boys had noticed they were under an illusion fairly quick, after Naruto's Magic had died down, and Mira fell unconscious in fear. He had already took her into the guild and laid her down on a bed before coming back outside. While he was worried about her he had to take priorities, and the priority right now was teaching Natsu and Gray.

As soon as the boys noticed they had attacked him. However, a bonus of using Illusion Magic in this world was that you knew whether or not the person was under an illusion as they had to hit you to break the illusion, and since you could see their actual bodies plus their illusion bodies, as you made the illusion you were basically the God of that 'realm,' or illusion.

Because of this, Natsu and Gray tired to hit Sasuke, and they were failing. Not only was he faster than them, he had his Sharingan, meaning that he knew their moves before they knew them. It was the perfect set up for Sasuke to win. They couldn't come close to him.

"Natsu, we only have one shot at breaking free of this illusion!"

"I realize that you dumbass!"

Gray growled but formed the rock-paper-scissors sign with his hands again, as Natsu channeled his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Natsu jumped into the air, his hands coated in flames, however they were different than his usual ones, they had a lighter tint to them.

'He's going to be able to change the heat of his fire at will very soon, sooner than expected,' Sasuke thought as he watched Natsu.

"With the flames of a star, and the flames of a dragon, I give you name! Fire Dragon's Burning Star!"

Natsu slammed his hands together as they formed a giant fireball, which instead of his usual red the flames were bright orange, and they surged in every direction. It looked very much like a star. He hefted the massive fireball up before throwing it at Sasuke.

"Stop that!"

Sasuke smiled.

"Sure! Black Lightning Sphere!"

The spells collided, causing an explosion of lightning and fire. Gray used this to his advantage.

"Ice-Make: Connecting Lance!"

Gray slammed his hands onto the ground, sending a lance made of ice towards Sasuke. However, Sasuke smiled at Gray's foolish attempt to hurt him. The first was that the Sharingan had adapted to seeing Magic instead of chakra, and while thanks to Magics special qualities, Sasuke couldn't copy them, he still couldn't be surprised by a move like this. The reason was spoken soon after Sasuke jumped high into the air.

"Gray, never use a move someone else taught you against that person! They know how to avoid it! Secondly, as a handicap I let you guys know some of the qualities of my Sharingan. Moves like Connecting Lance won't work on me. Even if the second half of the lance goes underground and sprouts from behind me to impale me with it at the same time the first, revealed, lance hits to make me connected on a pole of ice it won't work if I can see Magic, in the air, on the ground, or underneath the ground. And thanks to my Sharingan I can do just that!"

"I know, Sasuke."

"It was for me to sneak up behind you!"

Sasuke turned surprised to see Natsu behind him, fire in his hands.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!"

Sasuke caught the attack, although he didn't have enough time to coat his hands with Lightning God Slayers Magic to negate the fire, so he was still hit hard by the heat of the flames. This broke Natsu from the illusion, however Gray was still stuck.

"Ice-Make: Bow, Ice-Make: Arrows!"

The arrows shot from the bow travelled at high speed towards Sasuke, cutting him the leg and arms. Gray had also been freed.

Natsu and Sasuke landed, Sasuke with a look of pride in his eyes.

"You to passed, congratulations. Now, go spar, I need a nap."

XxX

Sasuke wasn't the only person who needed as nap as did Naruto. He was trying to figure out a way for his Rasengan to be a long distance move as well as being primarily based of close comabt.

"Give it up brat. You never got accustomed to the drain of using the Version 2 cloak. Your exhausted, take a nap."

"No, I will complete this technique, I shall-"

Naruto was interrupted by him falling unconscious of fatigue.

XxX

Makarov sighed as Naruto walked out of the infirmary. He had been out for three hours and it was near the time when the guild would close down, and the two boys had yet to buy a house. He couldn't let them stay in the guild like bums forever.

"Naruto, Sasuke."

These names caught the attention of the entire guild. The two upcoming rookies were already among the strongest members of the guild. Only S-class members could bet them, and some of them, like Erza, had difficulty doing that.

"You two freeloaders better get your own house and job this very instant!"

And just like that the mood was killed.

Sasuke and Naruto laughed at Makarov's blunt version of what was on their minds. They doubted that they had enough time to go find a house. They looked at each other before nodding, their silent conversation along the lines of, live together and split the payment was completed. They would do just that.

"Yeah well we wanted to address that now actually."

Makarov nodded

"Gray, Natsu come here."

The two boys ran over to their teachers, expecting something.

"Well, Naruto and I were thinking of making a team, and we wanted you two to be in it, to put it bluntly," Sasuke said looking at the two.

"Sure!" was Natsu's remark.

"Hn." was Gray's response.

Naruto sweat dropped at that. Gray was acting more and more like Sasuke everyday. It was creepy.

"What's the name? I bet its team Natsu in honor of how awesome I am," Natsu began to ramble on before Naruto smacked him on the head yelling; "HELL NO IT'S NOT THAT! SASUKE AND I CAN BEAT YOU WITH BOTH HANDS TIED BEHIND ON BACK WHILE HOPPING ON ONE FOOT!"

Natsu grumbled but accepted it.

"Then what's the name?"

"Team 7," Sasuke said looking at Naruto.

Naruto smiled at how the name brought back all those memories. Sure, it was selfish of them and unfair to Natsu and Gray as they didn't know the history of the name, but they would learn later, besides, this would mean Naruto and Sasuke could get their end of the bargain of training them.

"That's dull," Natsu said.

As soon as he said he was assaulted with two pairs of killing intent that scared the life out of him.

"Never insult that name," Sasuke and Naruto said death clearly in their eyes.

The entire guild became eerily silent and stared at Naruto and Sasuke. No matter how much they thought they knew the two boys were a mystery. They hid much about their past and only shared about their journeys in Fiore, and that was only the part after they had gotten to Yamnesh Town. They could only make a guess that that name meant something very important to both of them.

"Okay," Natsu said, fearing for his life.

Naruto smiled before walking over to the mission request board. He looked around for an interesting one before noticing the escort one.

Mission: Escort Famous Builder Yamai to Oak Town.

Pay: 500,000 Jewels.

Meeting Point: Magnolia Town Train Station on the Third of March.

"Hey master can we take this one," Naruto asked.

Makarov looked at it before nodding.

"You had to choose a hard one didn't you Naruto?" Sasuke mumbled.

"Well, it's not exactly hard; it's only an escort mission."

"How has our luck been with escort missions you idiot?"

"Shut up you bastard!"

"Don't get mad because our track record with those has always been horrid!"

"DAMN IT SASUKE I'LL KILL YOU!"

"TRY IT!"

The two butted heads before feeling the killing intent of Mira directed at them. They immediately stopped arguing, and the killing intent disappeared.

"That reminds me of something," Naruto said looking at Natsu and Gray.

"You two, you're only getting one-third of the pay for this mission so Sasuke and I can buy a house."

"WHAT!?" was heard all throughout Magnolia.
