Chapter 2

It had been two months since his encounter with the future queen of Dragnof, and Naruto had been hard at work learning and recreating the games techniques of the shodai Hokage, which was currently easier said than done.

"Hoof. Damnit, another failure," The blond hissed as he looked at the giant hunk of wood. It had a humanoid shape, but what was supposed to be the face was totally blank and smooth, it's left arm was a twig about three centimeters in diameter and eight centimeters in length, and the other was an oversized branch with a diameter of twelve centimeters and a length of thirty six centimeters, nothing that resembled any human limbs in actuality, and the less said about the body and other set of limbs the best, all in all, Naruto doubted he would have success in the jutsu any time soon.

Around the clearing, his shadow clones proved to have done little progress as well, each one having summoned a hunk of wood looking to be in worse condition than his. Frustrated, the blond dispersed his clones, closing his eyes in preparation for the mental backlash he was bound to receive, after a minute of shifting through the memories of the clones and nursing a headache, he was finally able to draw one conclusion:

"Damn, there must be something I can do!" Naruto yelled out loud, picking up a scroll he had tossed to the side earlier in the morning, "I'm doing all the steps right! What am I missing?"

Pausing for a moment Naruto decided to sit down and relaxed, 'Remember what Kakashi-sensei and Iruka taught you.'

'Hah, still not getting that damned jutsu brat?' the kyuubi's voice mocked him from within the recess of his mind.

The blond frowned, shouting back 'Shut up Kurama, let me concentrate!' and fell back into a familiar breathing pattern.

As his breath evened out, he felt the tiniest of hints of chakra originating from one of the scrolls in his pouch.

Opening his eyes, he reached for the school. It was the one that explained the basics of Mokuton, how it was a combination of earth and water yadda yadda, but inspecting it further, Naruto noticed something he hadn't noticed before, perhaps because he didn't rely much on the scrolls before having had Yamato's assistant. The Senju symbol at the bottom of the scroll had traces of chakra still left within it.

Curiosity got the better of him and he inserted his chakra as he would any other storage seal, and a book popped out.

Mokuton for dummies.

Naruto facepalmed at such an obvious name, the book just had to be made for him. There simply wasn't a way it wasn't! He met the Shodai in the war, and from Tobirama's comment he and Lord first had been pretty equal as far as goofballs.

Sighing, nevertheless he opened the oil and began reading it.

Though I haven't had successes in passing Mokuton onto my children, I'm writing this in hopes one of my descendants in the future will have a chance of awakening the Wood Style as I have...

… While the basic Wood Style can be accomplished simply by mixing earth and water natured chakra, higher level techniques such as my wood dragon, the golem and even my true several thousand Hands require a strong life force, and most of all, require the will of fire. As well as a deeper understanding into the nature of the forest, my training in sage mode helped me achieve this,

It is important to remember that to achieve true Wood style techniques, one must be spiritually connected to the nature of the trees, understand it as a master of fire techniques would know fire, or a master of wind would know wind. As Mokuton isn't just a combination of two nature's, but it's own form of life creating jutsu.

Naruto was so engrossed with his guide that he didn't even notice Irene walk up to him, only until she kicked his shoulder and screamed "Wake up!"

"Whaaa? Zetsu clones?! where?" The Uzumaki yelled in surprise as he jumped into a high guard position, causing the red haired woman to fall on her butt.

"Damnit, watch where you jump!" Irene yelled, annoyance dripping into her voice, "You damn idiot."

"Hey, you're the lady from the other day! Irene right? Whaddya want?" The whiskered blond asked.

"I'm looking for people, Dragons have crossed the continent. War is coming to our land, we desperately need strong people." The woman stated neutrally, having risen to her feet and returned to the posturing of a queen.

"So, you need me?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow, "Against dragons? Fuck it, why not."

"But!... Wait, you'll help us?" The queen to be asked incredulously.

A lecherous grin spread across the lip's of the Jinchuuriki as he did his best impersonation of his former master, "Why not, a beautiful and bountiful woman such as yourself asking for help? How could I refuse?"

Irene's cheek turned a bright red as she looked at him in embarrassment, before his words registered, causing the embarrassment to turn into anger. "DAAAMN YOU!"

A shiver ran through Naruto's back as he suddenly felt the urge to run, but he was too late as a fist connected into his face which was somehow stronger than the friendly love taps his former teammate Sakura used to give him.

'Damn she hits harder than Sakura!' the blond thought to himself as he flew through the air, a river of tears falling from his eyes as the air under him was quickly replaced with forest dirt.

From above, a dragon chuckled as he witnessed his pupil drag a bound, bloody and bruised whiskered blond across the forest back to the castle the young maiden currently took residence in, "seems Irene did not need my help after all."

From below, Irene muttered to herself, "Idiots never learn." As she dragged her prize back to her husband, hoping to at least get something other than an indifferent glance.

It was half an hour later when Irene finally arrived at the castle with her blond friend (read captive) and brought him to her husband in hopes of finally earning some form of praise from the paranoid man that was her betrothed. "I have found the man who was able to bind not only me but also Belserion and have brought him here so he can help us with the encroaching threat from the dragons." She told him.

Rung responded by saying, "if he has so much strength we should just put him down while we have the chance so he doesn't become a threat later."

Confused, Irene defended Naruto, "why would we do that? He has agreed to fight the dragon scourge wit-" " sorry as the one who's being talked about here I feel I should just add I'm only here because I'm bored and thought fighting the dragons might be fun." The blond in question interrupted.

"why must you interrupt us during a conversation with your filthy commoner voice?" Rung asked in a quiet yet heated voice.

Naruto looked at the king for all of two seconds before he broke out in fits of laughter, doubling over and wiping away comedic tears, "Me, a commoner, hahahaha." Finished laughing, Naruto continued, "I'm technically a quarter god not sure how 'common' that is around here." He deadpanned at his new friend's spouse.

"HA, part god you say? Preposterous there's no such thing" the king said amused at the audacity of the peasant in front of him.

"Would you like a demonstration?" Naruto asked cheekily, crossing his arms and attempted to suppress the grin trying to emerge in his face. "If you have an area you don't mind being temporarily destroyed then I'll show you."

As the trio walked onto a massive plain the king said "this should suffice no?" He smirked, 'there's no way he'll be strong enough to even make a significant amount of damage to this area.' Thought the arrogant ex-military General.

Naruto smiled back at him, "this is perfect. Wood Style: True Several Thousand Hands." A massive thousand handed buddha roughly the size of a Gamabunta burst through the ground and shook the two onlookers, after it finished emerging Naruto jumped off its head and looked at them, "impressed yet?" He asked as he suddenly burst into a gold flame like cloak. "If not you will after this."

Entering six paths sage mode, he used the truth seeking balls and scooping the duo up into the air and a kilometer away. "Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken!" He shouted as he threw the attack, when it landed it expanded and engulfed the buddha statue and then some as it exploded eviscerating the wood style technique. He turned to the observers with a huge smile on his face as he scratched the back of his head, "how was that?" He asked.

Irene stared dumbfounded by his strength. 'He's kind of cute, kind of like the ugly puppy you can't help but not hate.' she thought to herself, 'though his attitude could be better, much too loud.' She continued in her head.

Though terrified the king responded, "so what! Irene could do something similar with her strongest attack." He declared haughtily.

Naruto answered, "that's only like my 14th strongest attack, doesn't even crack my top ten, maybe even top twenty if i really pushed it."

Irene turned to her Husband, "can you see now? I told you he would be useful against the dragons, look what he just did and despite your earlier words I would be hard pressed to match anything much stronger than that."

The king relented. "Fine, you were correct i suppose but next time you will do as i say." He told her, expecting her to agree like usual when she wants his approval.

"Of course dear husband, but just remember your place, I am the monarch and you the consort, you only have the power I allow you, tread lightly." She growled at him at a volume she assumed Naruto could not hear her at.

Naruto however could hear her and had a minor frown on his face, he thought people married because they loved each other but all kurama could feel from the two was negative emotions like jealousy, fear and lust from the king and contempt, anger, and a sort of wistfulness from Irene.

Hours of being locked in his room cough prison cough finally came to and end when a scowling Irene finally appeared through the door, "Get your things blondie, you'll be coming with me to the front lines. You'll be badly needed there."

"Wait, what's going on?" The blond asked, not even needing Kurama to feel the whirlwind of negative emotions rolling of out of the red haired woman.

"Nothing, now let's get going." The Queen of Dragnof snapped, leaving the room with a marching stomp on her way out.

"Fuck… Shikamaru was right, women are troublesome," The blond said out loud as he followed her out of the room. "But damn she's hot."

Chapter length: 1861 words

Normal chapter length should be 2000 but this seemed like a good way to end it, thanks again for reading.

Thank you all for the positive reviews, those really made me want to get this out sooner, I changed some things in chapter one and added a cover image.

And just remember, if you catch frenchmen saying oui… switch that STG-44 to full auto and execute them!- Darthpel

To address somethings from reviews

JbXCR12: thanks so much for positivity and we'll work on planning a bit more, this story was kind of a spur of the moment thing when pel saw a lack of naruto x fairy tail fics.

Arrowstoathens: I appreciate the thought but as both are shounen they have quite similar personalities and while naruto is smarter, at his core he is very much like natsu.

^^DarthPel: Arrowstoathens, I'd also like to point out Naruto was sometimes even dumber than Natsu, he just had a long term plan whereas Natsu flew by the seat of his pants for pretty much the entire series. As Aiden pointed out though, they are shounen characters aimed at similar audiences, and represent the same stereotype.

To the rest who had just left nice reviews, thank you so much and I send you loads of positive vibes.

FAQ time:

The shinsu senju used was weak as hell he couldn't move it or anything and it was about a third the size of hashiramas which was quite a bit smaller than ashuras so he's not going to suddenly master the wood style don't worry.

DarthPel: what he means is… that shit was weak asf bruj.

The pairing after much conflict is a double pairing of sorts it's mainly going to be naruto x erza.

but how it ends will be a surprise! - DarthPel.

DarthPel: That's an understatement.

DarthPel: I also wrote the first 1k of this chapter.

Really though big shout out to Darthpel for the first half, that was a huge reason this chapter came so soon, seeing as we need to make these more thought out update time will be about a week and a half give or take a few days. Thanks for sticking with us! :)

Disclaimer: neither Aiden or Darthpel hate frenchmen, we just sugar high on TABG.

Further disclaimer, neither of us own neither Naruto or Fairy Tail, we fanfiction writers, we too broke to afford anything! We both broke bois!

Side effects include: making Germans execute frenchmen, a side of allergies to bullshit, subscribing to MrBeast n TheRussianBadger.

Yours truly
