TenshiEren14: You're right huh? I'm being a dick to Erza...yet I won't stop either! I like her personally, but she has a ton of potential, and one of this stories goals is to bring that crap out, something I feel hasn't been accurately done even with her new overpowered armor.
jp0625: I don't think it'll end up how you are expecting it to.
I don't own crap. If I did would I be writing fanficiton. Really, damn it think about that before you try and put me in the jail cell. Gosh. Jerks. Anyways...I GOT A NEW LAPTOP! It's for school...BUT I STILL GOT ONE SUCKAS! Just kidding you guys aren't suckas...I did get a new laptop though.
Thievery. The Conclusion
Shukaku yawned, a bored expression on his face as he crushed another guard with sand. "Weak," he mumbled, walking through the Magic Council's hallways. He was coated in sand, enough to form a miniature version of his large self. Even his eyes were back to the normal way they were instead of Fong's usual eye color. His hair had even turned to sand. Shukaku had fully taken control of Fong's body once again.
The Rune Knights kept coming in droves, determined to stop Shukaku's attempt to breach the sealed room. Shukaku however, was not in his playful mood and simply crushed them as he walked past, turning the hallway behind him into more sand to fuel himself.
"Be discreet she says, be quiet she says, be stealthy she says! Fuck her! I swear if she wasn't using that fucking thing that binds our will I'd kill her! If she wanted discreet she should have put fucking Kokuo in this body. Or revived him! He's better at discreet than all of us except Kurama! Fuck her! She can rot in hell! Fucking Uzumaki!"
The Rune Knights ignored Shukaku's ramblings and screams of murder as he came towards them, a frown on his features.
"All of you are so weak! Massive Sand Burial!" Shukaku roared, as the sand behind him rose and shot forwards, coating the majority of the hall in front of him with sand, including the soldiers.
"Die!"
Shukaku closed his three fingers together, causing the sand to implode and crush anything and everything that was covered in it, leaving nothing but a liquefied mess of the humans. Any inorganic object was shattered, leaving nothing but the barest of hints that it ever even existed. Shukaku sighed, beginning to sink into the sand before reappearing before the door, with an even more bored look on his face.
"Lucky Matatabi! She gets to fight, and even kill, and Mito won't get mad at her. I have to do the boring job, with no one who is worth my time even here!"
"You killed my men," Shukaku heard. Shukaku turned, his bored expression not changing in the slightest, although he could tell that this man was stronger than the people he had just killed. The man was tall, gray-haired and elderly. He had a considerably long beard, as well as a mustache. He had pointy ears and had one of his dark-colored eyes open, the other shut tight. Also, he wore multiple layers of robes, much like the members of the Magic Council do. Finally, on top of his head, he wears a small bat-shaped ornament.
"Who might you be?" Shukaku asked in a bored tone.
"I don't give my name to criminals," he said. Shukaku's eye twitched before he moved his arm, sand surrounding the man and wrapping him up in sand. Shukaku quickly clenched his hands, but there was no explosion of blood, nothing. Shukaku however was not surprised as he flicked his right hand, and sand flew past the sand construct he made, slamming into the old man and sending him flying.
"Thought Projection Magic won't work as long as you are in my territory. And the very ground itself can become my territory."
The elderly man frowned as he stood, blood flowing from his mouth. "I see. Then I will actually have to fight against you then, criminal."
The elderly man smirked as threads began to leak from his body, before the threads changed colors from white to obsidian. "Obsidian Adamantium Thread!" Shukaku raised the sand on his forehead, signaling his confusion.
"Allow me to show you," the elderly man said as he flicked his hands. The thread shot forwards wrapping around Shukaku. The Bijuu lazily tried to move it to find he couldn't.
'Interesting. I might have to give a minute effort.'
Shukaku flexed, expanding his sand and sending the threads flying away. "Allow me to show you," Shukaku said, as sand gathered around him, forming a large tanuki army.
"Tanuki's Hell Army!"

Erza clashed with Matatabi again, a furious look on her face. "I will win this battle," Erza said, stepping forward, although she did not push Matatabi back. Matatabi smirked, before opening her mouth.
"Blue: Bakeneko!"
A searing blue flame shot from Matatabi, sending Erza skidding backwards. She opened her eyes to see something she never thought she would see. Matatabi stood there, in a miniature form of her full-sized Bijuu.
"I hope you're ready, because from here on out. I'm going to slaughter you. It would be disgraceful for me to not take on your full strength with mine. In a way…take this as me respecting you. You've earned it. You haven't wounded me, but your will has stayed strong. Your attacks have not weakened, if anything they've grown more powerful over time. Soon little redhead…soon Uzumaki of this world…you will be able to fight me on par. With proper training of course," Matatabi said, respect in her voice.
XxX
Mito frowned at the words, her eyes glowing an eerie crimson that mixed with a black. "I swear if I didn't require the Bijuu I'd kill that damn cat. She was supposed to slaughter the girl or unlock her full potential. Not encourage her and respect her."
XxX
Naruto found himself frowning as he looked at Matatabi. "Matatabi is taking this fight seriously. She can…no…she will take this fight to new levels. Even if she respects Erza…this fight is life or death now."
Jura looked at Naruto with narrowed eyes. "You can't honestly believe that?" Naruto rounded on Jura, pointing to the small bakeneko on the field. "Yes I do. Do you not see the small bakeneko that is on the field right now!? Regular Astral Fire Magic cannot do that. Yet that's what Yui's magic is. And it's obvious she just transformed, and you can't say it's Take Over Magic as there is no recorded history of a bakeneko ever existing except in fairy tales."
Jura frowned but couldn't deny him. Sasuke turned to Naruto his eyes narrowed. "Naruto you knew this had the potential of happening when Erza was chosen in the same bracket as Yui. You knew before this match started and when it was first beginning. Matatabi is stronger than Erza, no doubt about that. Why are you acting so surprised now?"
Naruto rounded on his friend, his eyes narrowing even more. "Maybe because I care? Maybe because she's my girlfriend? Maybe because she's simply a guildmember!? Are you honestly saying you're not worried for her?"
Sasuke shook his head. "Not at all. You're just overreacting. I can tell you're not angry, you're just worried, and you're letting it get to you way too much. You need to calm down. Master will not allow life threatening damage to occur, the Council won't allow it, hell I won't allow it. No one will. Take a deep breath."
Naruto frowned, his worry and tension rising. "A deep breath? I understand Matatabi wanting to respect Erza, I really do. Erza's been putting her all into this fight and nobody could rebuke her for giving it her all when she was on the back foot the entire fight. But transforming into a miniature version of…that…is dangerous. Matatabi clearly wants to kill her or Mito is trying to make her kill her. I will not stand by and let that happen. Erza isn't ready for this type of battle."
Sasuke frowned, his eyes bleeding into crimson, three tomoi spinning. "Naruto…"
Naruto frowned, his eyes slowly changing. They became yellow, and orange pigmentation began to form around his eyes. His pupils slowly began to change.
"Naruto…how are you doing that?"
"Doing what?"
"You're using Sage Mode yet, you told me you weren't able to a long time ago."
Naruto's eyes widened as he calmly breathed, extinguishing the power he was gathering. "I think it might have something to do with our full powers being back. I couldn't go into Sage Mode before…but now…I can. At least if what you said is true. I've never tested it out again, and after what you just said all of this is a theory, but..."
Sasuke nodded, accepting Naruto's answer. His eyes turned back into their crimson state. "Now calm down and watch. Erza won't go down so easily."

Happy and Lucy froze, fear controlling their bodies as they looked at the massive bakeneko that was releasing the oppressive aura of magic. Happy began to shiver, crawling into Natsu's vest as he rubbed Happy's back soothingly.
"Master…" Natsu asked worriedly. Makarov nodded before he looked at Naruto and Sasuke who were looking at Erza with worry and what looked like preparation. So they were thinking the same thing. If this progressed much further, they would interfere. They gave him two messages. One, Naruto and Sasuke truly deserved to be in Fairy Tail if that protective instinct was directed towards not only Erza but the guild as well. Two, this monster was dangerous. It was capable of death and wouldn't hesitate to do so. He had an order for them when they got back to Magnolia. Of course, a construction would have to take place knowing his guild.

Erza frowned and swung one of her blades to the left, attempting to hit Matatabi. However, the Bijuu appeared below Erza, a smirk on its face before its twin tails slammed into Erza's chest, sending her flying and shattering her breastplate, making some pieces of the armor fall off and showing pieces of her bra along with some cleavage.
Erza frowned, shooting forwards quickly. She jumped, spinning in midair as she channeled magic into her blades.
"Cyclone Fairy!" Erza roared, her blades being coated with green lightning. Matatabi smiled, and raised her arm, confident she could block the attack. She was proved correct as the blades did not pass the flames, however they did cut deeper into the flames than they did usually. Matatabi raised an eyebrow, looking at Erza with even more respect.
"Close," she mumbled, before lashing out with a kick that sent Erza flying. Matatabi reappeared behind Erza and lashed out with her flaming fangs, sinking them into Erza' left arm before throwing her into the air. Erza screamed as blood trickled from her arm before she turned, stubborn determination still clear in her eyes. Erza fell downwards, spinning like a top, however Matatabi would have none of it, jumping up to meet her in midair.
Matatabi lashed out with a fist as Erza swung her sword, resulting in an explosion of magical power. The force was so great that the shockwaves created cracks on the statues that overlooked the arena, and the very mountain the arena sat upon shook.
Erza raised her other blade as they began to descend, the cold grip of gravity claiming them once more. She brought her blade down, green lightning streaming off of it. Matatabi looked at the blade but did not do anything to stop it, confident in her abilities.
That confident was founded.
This time it did not work.
Erza's blade pierced through the flame, as the combination of the green lightning, gravity, and her own force finally managed to overpower Matatabi's flaming skin. The blade swung true, cutting into Matatabi's torso and sending her flying into the ground with a resounding crash. The force shook the stadium.
XxX
"She did it," Naruto said. "It wasn't enough to finish Matatabi. But she passed the test." Kurama said. Sasuke smirked, a victorious look radiating off of him. "I told you. Erza might not be able to win, but she won't go down without a fight."
Jura looked at the two with a suspicious look in his eye. How had they known about Yui's powers? Why did they call Yui Matatabi? How did they seem to know Matatabi's powers so well? Why did they act to know the creature on a personal basis? And why did they think Erza would lose once the match began? They acted…so different. Completely unlike the master of the guild.
XxX
Erza smirked as she landed, before she charged up magic, not going to give Matatabi the chance to recover. Matatabi stood slowly as Erza charged, looking at Erza with wide eyes.
"Fairy Piercing Sword!"
Erza dismissed one blade and charged the last one with a massive amount of magic, coating the blade in green lightning. Erza's whole body was then coated in the energy, leaving a large trail behind her. Matatabi looked up, her eyes wide as she saw Erza about to land. She cocked her right arm back as quickly as possible before lashing forwards.
"Cat Claw!"
A massive explosion occurred, before a body flew high into the air before slamming into the ground, forming a small crater. As the smoke caused from the explosion cleared Matatabi could be seen standing in place, a red tint on her right flaming arm. However, Erza could be seen lying in a crater, nearly unconscious with her armor destroyed. All the armor below her breasts and above her waist was gone, revealing bad wounds on her stomach. Below her waist there was only enough armor to keep dignity, and all the armor on her arms was either on the ground or embedded in her chin. Much of the armor around her breast was shattered, however it was not much worse than when she wore some of her more skimpy armors.
Matatabi frowned, and opened her mouth, as black and red orbs of magic began to gather.
XxX
"Master…Erza lost, what is she doing!?" Lucy roared, looking at Makarov. However, she wasn't surprised to find him gearing up to launch towards Erza and protect her. Mirajane looked on longingly, with something akin to regret, disappointment, and sadness in her eyes. However, she was not the only one, many people in Fairy Tail looked on with that look. Natsu and Gray however were different. They looked on with cold blooded rage white flames beginning to flicker around Natsu and Gray beginning to form ice. Levy, like Mira, also looked on with sadness, realizing something about herself, and also about Erza in general.
Makarov's form began to enlarge as he prepared to shoot forwards.
XxX
Mito frowned. She would not stop Matatabi, but becoming a Dark Guild would not prove fruitful for her plans. At the worst they would just temporarily hold her back. There was a reason that she had created the crystals, and she did have a safety method after all. Even she would have problems taking on eight Bijuu at once.
XxX
Matatabi fired the ball, which easily packed enough power to kill Erza. The ball was nearly upon Erza when a form appeared in front of her and batted the ball into the air, sending it high before it exploded. The shockwaves created and magical power contained shattered the statues and caused many objects in the stands and arena to disintegrate. It also caused the skies to clear up almost immediately.
The form that stood in front of Erza basically radiated rage as he looked at Matatabi. It was Naruto, however he looked different.
In this new form, Naruto's had yellow eyes instead of his regular colored eyes. Rinnegan and magatama patterns were on his back. Truth-Seeking Balls that were comprised of senjutsu floated behind him like a halo. Otherwise, there was a white circle on his stomach, and the outline of his clothes was visible, as they were white and black fused together. Two horns seemed to stick out from his head, and his whisker markings thickened. Everyone, even the people who had never seen this form before, could feel Naruto radiating power, and even Makarov was shaking, but not in fear, but in confidence, along with surprise.
XxX
Sasuke sighed as he paused his form, sitting right next to the crater Matatabi had created earlier, a miniature Susanoo formed around him.
"That idiot. He could have blocked it without revealing his true power. I can already feel the questions coming."
XxX
Jura looked at Naruto and Sasuke with fear. The power they were radiating...it was high above his…leagues above his…greatly above his. What was he thinking thinking that he could defeat these two? Their power…it was so calming yet so oppressive. Its strength seemed to crush you.
XxX
Makarov looked at the two with wide eyes. "These two," Makarov said, catching the attention of the guild. "These two…they're stronger than me, Gildarts, and Laxus combined."
Jet's eyes widened. "Master, you have to be joking. I know they're strong but…" Makarov shook his head. "These two would easily defeat me. They are undoubtedly the strongest people in the guild. I was wondering why they seemed to be defeating their S-class, S-class, opponents so easily, even after they told us their story, but this…this is just insane."
XxX
Naruto glared at Matatabi, flaring his power as a large, red kitsune, and a man appeared above him. "Back off Matatabi!" he roared, sending out shockwaves through his words alone. Matatabi was thrown backwards, slamming into the wall. Fear was clear in her eyes as she saw Naruto, but it wasn't just that. She could have sworn that she saw Kurama and Hagoromo behind Naruto, disappointment on her father's face, and rage on Kurama's. Naruto turned to the judge. "Call the match."
The judge nodded, nearly unconscious, and it was obvious he had soiled his pants.
"The winner of match two of bracket B's second round is: Yui Nii."
No one cheered.
XxX
Shukaku smirked as he looked at the mutilated body of Org, as he learned his name was by sheer torment. The man had not been weak, being worthy of his position on the Magic Council. Shukaku had even learned something.
"So all Wizard Saints that have done something important, or are master of their magic can join the Magic Council if a vacancy is open...the whore will want to know this."
Shukaku sighed, sand creeping up Org's mangled body. Shukaku smiled as he clenched his fist and blood flew, coating his sand even more.
"Thanks for the battle…Org Newman of the Magic Council…and…of Mermaid Heel."
Shukaku blew open the doors of the sealed door, looking around with a bored expression. Many items were there but he didn't care for them, he was looking for a specific flute. He found it in a glass container that had a lacrima attached to it.
"Nullification Magic, at least that's my best guest," Shukaku said, drawing a vile. He shattered the Nullification Magic lacrima before shattering the case Lullaby was contained in. He prepared to shatter the flute only for a dark Magic Formula to appear around it as it began to morph. It began to twist high into the sky, almost touching the roof of the building.
Shukaku smirked, insane laughter filling the room. "Fuck what she said! I think I'll have some fun!" he roared as he let his magic run wild.
Shukaku and the flute kept enlarging until they reached their true forms respectively.
Hey guys it's Kuma Akuma. I hope this chapter was shit bricks level for you. It was to me when I read through it anyways, and I knew what would happen. Anyways, the important things in this chapter are two: Erza nearly dying and Naruto revealing his true strength, which yes was planned, and the upcoming fight between Shukaku and Lullaby. I'm still not sure on how I'll type that yet. Now I know what you're thinking, 'I can understand Shukaku breaching into the Magic Council Headquaters, but how the hell did no other Magic Council members but Org notice him? More importantly, how the hell are they going to fight without attracting attention in their true forms?' Answer: IT WILL BE EXPLAINED LATER SIRS AND MADAMS AND...OTHERS. (I do not think of you differently if you are an other.) Now, as for the giant battle, well, as Shukaku said, "FUCK WHAT SHE SAID!" is the best way I can put it. I tried to give an insight on how Shukaku thinks, and how he feels about Mito, along with how she hasn't been attacked by them yet. However, the even more important thing than all of this is, 'What will be the turnout from all these important things happening?' Well, it's changing. That's right, just like UNL (Uzumaki Namikaze Legend my Naruto fanfic,) this story has officially derailed completely now. Things are gonna change, and anything you know or think is completely invalid. Glad you're happy with that. Of course, if you some things you think or know are valid...but I ain't gonna tell you what they are. FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES! I'm really hyper for some reason...anyways...err...lost my train of thought and can't remember what I was gonna say. You guys know the drill though, favorite, review, criticize, review, favorite, favorite, favorite, favorite, favorite, I'm a broken record. See you guys later and avoid the Earl.
