Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter despite it not being long as this would allow me to cut things better for me for next chapter as I may get it out sooner by doing this. Also by the end of this chapter you'll find out I decided to add a sort of crossover in a way, leaning to most likely that crossover not actually being involved so so far it may just be a cameo in a sense.
Chapter 5: Betraying a Daughter's Trust
TWO DAYS LATER IN THE ALVAREZ EMPIRE'S STREET MARKET
"Aaaaaaaaaaaah, today seems quite lively!" Spoke the smiling Naruto who was wearing a disguise, consisting of a fake beard, sunglasses, a hat, a black t-shirt that read 'You touch my daughter, I'll end you.' as well as orange shorts and sandals. Currently, he was walking through a Crowd due to the fact he was in a large market street filled with people conversing and selling goods.
"Now where is she, last I checked she moved her shoooop-there!" He stops at seeing a shop down the street and it was [closed] due to the street market event. Immediately he heads towards there, not realizing his horrible disguise has drawn much attention as civilians were slowly following him but beings silent to not let the Emperor notice them, much to their disbelief that Naruto doesn't appear to have noticed. In a matter of moments, he had opened the shop door.
"Hey, can't you see that we are closed?" Came the voice of a female who was placing beautiful flowers on the back counter and the moment she turns, she immediately froze with a bead of sweat falling down her face at immediately recognizing him.
"There you are, Dimaria." The Emperor said to the buxom young woman holding a basket of vegetables. She had a slender figure with wavy, blonde hair that was cropped short, reaching only the base of her nape while also being quite messy, giving it a somewhat spiky appearance. Her clothing consisted of jeans that had the pants legs rolled up a little, a top that had a simple red bandeau, with the upper edge embroidered with a flowery, white lace. Finally, she wore an apron over her clothing. All she did was face palm at seeing the Emperor's horrible disguise.
"Dad, why are you wearing that horrible disguise?" She questioned, trying to figure out just what her father was thinking which he was surprised.
"It's a disguise, you know the moment I exit I get seen so I use this." When he said that, she gave him a blank stare.
"So instead of using a transformation jutsu, you wear a horrible disguise?" Her words caused Naruto to appear shock as he was taken aback.
"Horrible?! Can't you see I haven't been-...there behind me, aren't they?" As he asked that, he turned to find many civilians were gathered outside, watching in amazement through the windows while Dimaria just pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Dad, why did you come here? Didn't we agree that I can live on my own and not in the castle?" When Naruto heard that, he gave a small laugh while scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Your telling me, you were quite the monster when you were a child. Terrorizing the maids and scaring the butlers, hell you made poor little Invel and Ajeel scared of you to the point they hid behind me whenever there parents came for meetings." Hearing that, Dimaria blushes in embarrassment and increases at seeing how the civilians outside are reacting. The girl tries to calm herself until her father asked a question that cut her off guard.
"Speaking of four-eyes, is their something going on between you and Invel!" As Naruto said that, he immediately regrets it as he saw his daughters eye begin to twitch and with a click of her teeth, immediately Naruto fell to his knees, holding his nuts in pain which caused many civilians to flinch while a few shook their heads due to this sort of thing happening a lot whenever Naruto came to visit.
"DID YOU ONLY COME HERE TO ASK THAT YOU DAMN PERVERT?!" She demanded her father who stopped appearing in pain and smiles sadly as he stood up.
"No...I'm leaving the Country and heading to Tenrou Island. I'll be needing you to accompany me, with your mother." When she heard that, Dimaria was surprised and crossed her arms.
"Dad, why would I need to go? If you and mom are than there shouldn't be any need for me to be there—...what's going on?" When she asked that, she could clearly see the uncomfortable expression he had until he takes a deep breath.
"To start things off...you have an older sister." Upon hearing that, Dimaria's eyes widen all the way in shock and were about to yell when she stops herself and clicks her teeth, stopping time to give herself time which she stumbles back against the wall, staring down at the floor in clear shock at what she just heard. Having been lied to her whole life until now, finding out she has a sister but froze.
(You see, me and your mother had to make a choice years ago...it was something we both struggled to do, in fact it was hell for us when we made a decision. Yet by doing so, we would assure hope in the future.)
As she recalled that, Dimaria takes a deep breath, recollecting herself quickly thanks to the many battles she's been through and clicks her teeth, letting time resume.
"What's happening, why are you telling me this now?" When she asked him that, still looking quite angered and bothered, Naruto showed seriousness rather than sadness.
"To cut things short, the Time Oracle told me an incident will be taking place tomorrow. Your sister is a part of a guild in Ishgar, called 'Fairy Tail' and is currently helping her guildmates take an S-Class Test on the island of Tenrou, currently it's under attack by a dark—" When she heard that, her eyes immediately narrowed and turns towards her table where a sword was strapped to it and grabs it yet doesn't pull when her father grabs her shoulder.
"It was already foreseen by the oracle. The battle will be hard, but they will win in the end...it's what happens next that has me worried." Hearing his words, she releases the weapon and turns to him before her eyes widen as she recalled Tenrou Island is associated with another.
"Acnologia...he's heading there, isn't he?" Hearing that, he simply nods.
"By this time tomorrow, Acnologia will have gotten consumed by his wrath and will have destroyed the island, along with the intruders. We will be going there to stop him as well as...I'll be explaining to you and her, why it is we left her in Ishgar as an infant." Upon hearing that, Dimaria looks down at knowing her father wouldn't do something like this if it weren't for the good of the people, yet...
"Fine." After saying that, she turns away yet spoke with clear anger.
"But this doesn't change the fact, I'll never forgive you for hiding the fact I had a sister and abandoning her." It was Upon hearing that, Naruto felt pain and looks down before he was gone by a swirl of leaves.
BACK AT THE CASTLE, WITHIN NARUTO'S QUARTERS; LATER THAT VERY DAY DURING SUNDOWN
Silently the blonde sat down on his chair with a bothered, having appeared on the throne room by leaves a simply slumps back in his chair, all by himself while his wife was off doing her own thing before they leave tomorrow.
(I'll never forgive you~~)
As he recalled her words, he just places a hand on his face as he just felt like crap.
(YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS?! YOUR TELLING ME WE HAVE TO LEAVE OUR CHILD IN ISHGAR FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, ARE TOU INSANE?! I CAN'T LET HER GO THROUGH SUCH THINHS JUST FOR THAT!)
Recalling his own words of anger, the Emperor places his hands on his face.
"Did I make the right choice... Dimaria isn't the kind to forgive me, I even expected her to shout with anger as I would have...when Pervy sage died...yet she seems to have used her magic to give her time to collect herself—..." Naruto stops speaking to himself, upon realizing once again...even after 400 years, Kurama was gone.
"Geez, I'm still talking to myself as if he were still here—" Naruto stops muttering when he heard the doors open which he looks up to see Invel entering and simply hits his feet together in a sort of salute.
"Your majesty, he's arrived." It was after hearing that, Naruto heard a loud sound and looks at the window, what he saw could be described as an unbelievable sight for Ishgar yet for Alvarez, it wasn't much. What Naruto saw coming down from the sky and landing in the distance was a massive ship that resembles a demonic dragon where the figurehead is an open maw with a diamond-shaped plate where the nose would be and two curved horns on either side of it. On the side of the ship, words could be seen 'EDENSZERO'. Upon seeing that, Naruto felt two emotions. One being happiness at knowing he'll see an old friend while the other, was worry...worry for the fact he knew of only one reason why his friend would come in person, and that was the impending threat that will soon arrive to finish what they started 400 years ago, the extinction of all life on the planet.
