The Awesome Being: I'm afraid I can't, although I do think that is a good idea. The only reason Sasuke and Naruto are in this universe is because of the angel/Sage. The Jinchuriki were 'created' here, and the last person from the Elemental Countries, who you find out about in this chapter, I can't reveal for sake of spoilers. Sorry. But I do think you will like this chapter.
I Own Nothing
Notice: I can still accept OCs for this arc.
Spiral! The King or Queen of S!
Erza sighed as they, the entirety of the Fairy Tail guild, walked down the streets of Crocus. The guild members were already causing a ruckus, and include the fact that the guild took up the majority of the street, it was quite dangerous to the guilds funds. It was good that Naruto and Sasuke actually reined them in.
Makarov led the troop towards a building in the beautiful city. Crocus resided in a vast valley surrounded by rocky mountains of small-to-mid height that housed mostly mildly prominent hills, and had a small river not far from it, with some isles in its largest part flowing in a similarly small gorge, which had woodland on both of its sides, which occupied the western zone of the valley.
Being the capital of the kingdom, Crocus had a vast amount of buildings in a circular formation as far as the eye can see, with the right part of the town placed on the edge of a small crag; such part seemed to be surrounded by walls that topped the crag itself. The most distinctive trait of the town, that gave it its epithet of 'Flower Blooming Capital,' was the limitless amount of flowers adorning the streets, with flowerbeds being placed everywhere, and garlands of flowers appearing as one of the town's most prominent souvenirs. The buildings, possessed bright facades and towers with extremely pointed tiled roof that jutted upwards, which lined up the stone street's sides, some of which were pretty basic, while other, more elaborated ones consisted of very large, circular mosaics made of wide, flat stones, with bear floral and natural motifs in their center; chess-like patterns were also used, flanking simpler, stone sections of the streets.
In the central part of the town lay a large, round lake; and in its center, linked to the surroundings by a pair of bridges, sat Mercurius, the King of Fiore's palace. On the mountains to the west, on a large, cylindrical stone formation, was an arena presumably for the upcoming tournament, which was linked to the town by a long, curved bridge made of stone, which possessed several towers.
Erza walked Makarov walk up to the building with a smile before turning around and looking sternly at the guild.
"Fairy Tail listen up! I want no, and I mean NO, damages from here! Everything is more expensive than you could imagine. Meaning, unless you are training OUTISDE the city there is a NO magic policy. Nomally I wouldn't do this, but I don't want to risk you guys destroying something important," Makarov yelled.
The guild groaned but nodded, understanding the importance of it.
"Good, now…in we go!"
Makarov led the charge into the building and walked up to the attendant.
"Excuse me, but Fairy Tail is here. We were told the Magic Council had rooms prepared for us," Makarv asked.
The attendant smiled and nodded. "You are Makarov Dreyar correct?"
"Yes."
"Well then, please, gather your guild and follow me."
Makarov did so. They were led to a large penthouse. It had a pool in front of it and a large fence preventing any unwanted guests. Makarov sighed at the luxury of the house and was suddenly glad he banned magic. If he hadn't…when the guild destroyed it by getting into brawls…there would have been hell to pay.
"And as long as we keep it in good condition it's free exactly as the Magic Council said," Makarov asked.
The attendant nodded and handed Makarov four keys.
"These are for you and any other three you deem responsible enough to handle them. Good day," the attendant said before walking off.
Makarov nodded and clenched one key before giving one to Erza, Naruto, and Sasuke.
"Keep them under control. No brawls, no magic, nothing of the sort," Makarov ordered. They nodded.
Makarov smiled and unlocked the gate.
"Go find your rooms!"

Naruto walked down the streets of Crocus with his hands behind his head.
"So bored," he mumbled.
He kept up his relaxed pace until a girl came up to him. She was quite attractive with flowing black hair that reached her thighs, caramel eyes, tan skin, and supple lips. She had a below average bust, and wore a plain blue shirt with the word, 'Magic,' on it and blue skinny jeans. Her hands were behind her back. Naruto smiled at her.
"Can I help you?"
She blushed and stumbled over her words.
"Um, well, y-you see I-I w-wanted an autograph if you wouldn't mind," she said quickly holding out a pen and a notepad. Naruto looked at the pen and notepad before looking back at the girls blushing face.
"An autograph," Naruto mimicked tilting his head to the side.
She nodded, her blush deepening. Naruto took the pen from her hands gently and took the notepad. He wrote his name on the notepad with a curvaceous style before putting his signature, 'Believe it,' next to his name. He then handed the objects back to her.
The young teenager squealed and ran off, causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow in surprise. Teenagers were weird.
"Enjoying yourself are we," asked a curious voice, although Naruto heard some form of anger in it.
He turned to see Erza. "Er-chan."
"Naruto," she said.
Naruto then blushed. "It wasn't what it looked like she just asked for an autograph that's all," he yelled waving his hands out in front of him.
Erza nodded, although anyone could see the mistrust in her eyes. She walked up next to him before they walked together around Crocus in a pleasant, yet slightly awkward silence.
"Hey Naruto," she asked quietly.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think we can win?" she asked.
He looked down at her before his eyes widened. Her face…it wasn't the same, cold, strict Erza he had grown accustomed to. Her face was soft…vulnerable.
Naruto put a hand on top of her head and smiled. "I don't think we'll win hime-" Erza blushed at the more intimate nickname. "-I know we will win. If I can't do it, then you or Sasuke will, and if Sasuke can't do it then you will. We're Fairy Tail hime. Don't doubt yourself; you have a lot of potential."
Erza looked at the ground. "Besides, we can't let the Magic Council get away with threatening us can we," Naruto asked.
Erza smiled up at him, something wet in her eyes that she quickly brushed away before he could see it. "Right."
That was when they heard the whispers. People were talking about them.
"Isn't that the 'Titania'?" said one person.
"And 'Teleporting Spiral,' Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze," said another.
They kept mumbling and originally Naruto and Erza didn't mind, however it then got to a point that made both of them blush madly.
"Are they on a date? I don't see anybody else with them. The 'Titania' Erza Scarlet and 'Teleporting Spiral,' Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze are dating?!" they kept on whispering.
"We are not on a date!" They yelled, blushing.
"Well look here."

Lucy sighed. "Natsu stop antagonizing Gray."
Natsu looked back at her. "I'm not antagonizing him I'm just proving that he's a stripper!"
Gray growled. "Slanty eyes!"
Natsu growled. "Icicle!"
"Flame brain!"
The two butted heads, preparing to fight.
"Hey both of you need to calm down," Lucy said.
Happy just sighed. "Don't bother."
Sasuke walked up behind the two of them. They didn't notice his presence.
"Fire Dragon's-"
"Ice-Make:-"
"Shut up!" Sasuke roared, slamming his fists down on their heads. The two boys fell to the floor groaning in pain.
Lucy gawked. "How, when, who, what?"
Sasuke just smirked. "A good show of force."
He then walked off. Lucy sighed. "Happy, help me get these two back to their rooms."
XxX
Sasuke sat down at a table. He sighed and put his head down. "Why is our guild filled with idiots," he mumbled.
"Even me, Sasuke-kun," said a voice.
Sasuke looked up to see Mira looking down at him, puffing her cheeks out and pouting. Sasuke controlled his blush but couldn't deny she looked cute like that.
"No Mira. You're fine. They just love to fight."
Mirajane sat down next to Sasuke. "Well so do you."
"Yeah, but I don't have a tendency to wreck things."
She looked at him.
"As much as they do. You know that the majority of Team 7's bills are Natsu and Naruto."
Mira laughed, her melodic voice entrancing Sasuke.
'Her voice…it's beautiful. Wait, what am I thinking!?' Sasuke thought, a slight blush coming to his face.
"Yeah, you do have a point."
The two were stuck in a pleasant silence for a while. "Sasuke-kun."
"Hn."
"What's you're favorite color," she asked.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the strange question. "Black."
"Funny. We're the same, mines is also black."
Sasuke smiled. For some reason he liked that.
"People say opposites attract…I think I disagree now, don't you Sasuke-kun?" she asked.
Sasuke looked at her strangely. While he was no where near as dense as Naruto he was still dense as he had never met a girl that liked him for him and not his Uchiha status. It took a while before Sakura liked him for him, and that was a long time ago. However, he got a slight bit of her message.
"I disagree too…Mira-chan."
She smiled and a light blush came to her face. Sasuke mentally sighed as he got that out.
'Kami saying –chan took away part of my pride. But she liked it. I might call her it more…ugh it still hurts my pride a lot though.'

"Who might you be," Erza asked to the two women in front of them.
The first, and taller woman, had long, bright-red hair and large, pupiless eyes. She wore an elaborate, high-collared kimono with the Uzushiogakure symbol on the back of the obi which was tied around her waist. Her hair flowed to her curvaceous hips. She wore a dark shade of red lipstick and had a violet-colored diamond mark on her forehead.
The second woman had long, straight, blonde hair bound with taut bandages and dark eyes. She wore a short-sleeved black and purple blouse and black pants, both of which had a design similar to clouds on them, with purple finger-less gloves and a chain of blue beads wound around her left hand. She wore sandals, a kunai holster which was strapped to her right thigh, and had bandages around her arms and legs. She had a red belt around her waist.
"Me?" said the first person. "I'm Mito, master of the Jinchuriki guild, and this is Yui Nii, my S-class mage and someone who will be competing against the great fairies."
Naruto tensed as she said this. Only someone from the Elemental Countries would know what a Jinchuriki was. She knew this, she had to. And that name…Mito. He had heard it somewhere before. However, he couldn't focus on that as he looked at Yui. She looked exactly like Yugito only without the forehead protector. But Yugito should be dead, meaning that the same thing that happened to Fong must have happened to her, it had to have. Only Gaara would have had the abilities Fong had, yet Fong had said he as Shukaku. Did that mean that Yui wasn't Yugito…but Matatabi? Wouldn't that mean that the woman who took Fong away…was Mito?
Mito put out her hand to Naruto.
"Nice to meet you. Mr. Uzumaki-Namikaze. You're famous."
Naruto put out his hand too, only for the sake of the people watching and Erza. He didn't want to look rude despite the fact that he didn't trust the woman.
Mito opened her hand slightly before he grasped her hand. He looked into it and his eyes widened.
The Uzumaki Spiral was on her hand.
Naruto clasped her hand but it all was clear to him now. This woman…she was Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade's grandmother. That also meant she was his great-grandaunt. Mito Uzumaki, wife of Hashirama Senju, was in Fiore, but how? Did that angel offer her another chance at life? And why?
After they let go of each others hands Mito smiled.
"Erza, go back to the guild house now. Tell Sasuke, 'Tanuki,' he'll understand."
Erza looked at him strangely. He turned to her a serious look on his face. "Go."
She nodded, although she was unsure and ran towards the guild. Naruto then turned to face Mito again.
"So, I'm sure you have you're questions, but they can wait. First I must know, how is my little fuzzball doing," Mito asked.
"She remembers me," Kurama mumbled.
'You know her Kurama,' Naruto asked.
"Yeah, she was my first Jinchuriki. My first slave-owner."
'Sorry.'
"It's not your fault kit. Besides I like you."
"How he is is none of your business," Naruto hissed.
"Oh don't be like that. Kushi-chan said-"
"Don't say my mother's name! More importantly, how are you here? And why?"
Mito frowned although anyone could tell she was happy at irritating Naruto.
"I don't have to answer that great-grand nephew. Don't make auntie angry."
Naruto growled.
"Well it doesn't matter. Hashirama was wrong, I realize that now. No…I realized it then but tried to force myself to believe. Goodbye nephew…and prepare yourself for the second test. Tell that to Mr. Uchiha too."
With that Mito turned and left followed by Yui. However, that cleared something up for Naruto. The cloaked woman when Sasuke and he fought Shukaku…she was back.
Naruto growled.
XxX
"Sasuke," Erza called, bursting into the penthouse. Sasuke looked up and at her.
"What?"
"Naruto said to tell you, 'Tanuki,' whatever that means."
Sasuke's face hardened. So he had found her. She was here. That could only mean one thing. The cloaked woman was found and was either participating in this tournament or found someone to do it for her.
(-Flashback-)
"Naruto," Sasuke said as before his friend could open the door from the Magic Council room.
"Yeah?" Naruto asked.
"You believe it don't you?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke, confused, before realization dawned on his face and he nodded saying, "Yeah…nothing else could have such good control over sand." Sasuke nodded.
"We need something to identify them by without alerting any guild we happen to join until they're ready to know."
"I'd prefer they didn't know."
"As would I, but even you know both of us can't defeat eight tailed beasts by ourselves."
"I have Kurama."
"It's still risky. We could end up dead."
"Better us dead then innocents."
Sasuke growled at Naruto. "Look does Fairy Tail really seem like the guild to let their guild members charge straight into hell and not help them?"
"No," Naruto said admittedly.
"Exactly, therefore they're going to have to know eventually. However, until they do we need something to identify any Bijuu or if we see the woman again. If we see the woman again we'll say Tanuki, and if we see any Bijuu, including Shukaku, we say…Moon's Eye, okay?"
Naruto nodded.
(-Flashback-)
Sasuke tensed. Tomorrow would be interesting.

The Domus Flau, as Naruto had learned it was called, appeared to be a large, round, open battle arena that looked similar to the Colosseum, and had no cover on the top. It had numerous arches in its walls, and a large entrance. The Domus Flau also had four gigantic statues, each holding a staff with a big circle on top, which looked like Roman warriors that face inwards, surrounding the Domus Flau. Four gigantic chains were also seen around the Domus Flau; each starting from a circular metal in the ground around the Domus Flau, connecting to circles behind the statues, and reaching down another circular metal in the ground.
The interior design of the Domus Flau also looked similar to the Colosseum. The arena, located at the center of the Domus Flau, was large enough to contain a town. There were three stages of the audiences' seats that were in circular form. The seats also had dividers with three arches in each, and four bigger dividers connected with the staves of the statues. Numerous arches were seen inside the Domus Flau which were just above the highest stage of the audiences' seats, and were connected with the arches outside. There were also hallways and rooms in the highest layer of the Domus Flau.
There were several special holdings for guilds were people were. Fairy Tail sat in one of them.
Sasuke and Naruto looked around the competition of 13, not including Erza and themselves, for the person they had come to recognize as the most severe threat to the competition and people's lives.
"There," Naruto said, pointing at Yui.
Sasuke nodded. "There's our hellcat."
Erza looked at them strangely, before noticing who they were looking at.
"Erza," Naruto said.
Erza looked at him. He only called her that when he was very serious about something.
"Whatever you do. Stay away from her."
Before Erza could respond astral figures appeared above the arena. It was the Magic Council.
"Hello, citizens of Fiore. And welcome to the tournament that will decide the King or Queen of S-class!"
The crowed cheered.
"And without further ado," the chairman said. "Let the tournament begin!"
Hey guys it's Kuma Akuma. I made a lot of reveals in this chapter. Maybe I shouldn't have but I did. You all probably knew who Mito was anyways, as a lot of you got the challenge right. Also, I included a little NaZa, yes I'm using the NatsuxErza pairing name for NarutoxErza pairing name, don't judge me I'm lazy, and SaNe...no that doesn't work...SasukexMira in there for you guys. I hope you liked it. IT showed there relationships build over the time-skip plus the fact that they do have hidden feelings for each other. Also, I know the -chan, was out of character for Sasuke but I had to include it, partially because of that reason, partially because...well you just read it. Hehe Reddit. Is that how you spell it? AH! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it. Annnywaays, yeah, Sasuke won't do that all the time, but he'll do it sometimes, and yes I know it's out of character that's why I put in the pride conflict. Now, onto the arc. I bet you guys can't wait for the fights Yui will have, however I won't reveal if she has her major fight against Naruto, Sasuke, or Erza, and yes Erza is a possibility. Jura will fight a person you all know and love, and Bacchus will fight another person you all know and love. This arc is going to be filled to the brim with fighting and plot. Also, see how much longer the chapter is, it's because I'm interested...SEE I do put in a lot more thought and work when I'm writing arcs I actually like. Also, for those of you saying I forgot about Lullaby I didn't, you'll see what happens with it this arc. See you guys later and avoid the Earl.
