"Naruto! Stop reading that stupid book and fight me for real this time!" Natsu cried out.
"For your information Natsu, this is not a stupid book." Naruto replied blankly to the energetic fire dragon slayer, who in his opinion was a lot more annoying than usual these past few days, "And a no is a no. I have no reason to fight you other than to indulge your stupid habit." he then turned his head to look at the white haired barmaid, who then put a dish of full of cookies down to the table in front of him, "Thank you Mira." He said gratefully and returned to read his book, picking up a cookie and take a small bite.
"Enjoy your snack, Naruto-kun." Mira said cheerily before dashing away.
Makarov sat on the bar stand with a cup of beer in his hands, his eyes was still looking at Naruto Uzumaki the newest member of his Guild with curiosity. Three days had passed since Naruto's first mission, also an S-class mission with Mirajane and the blond had returned to his usual spot and daily activities, which were now included a book in them. Almost a week passed since the day Naruto joined Fairy Tail and yet they still knew nothing about him or his power. Naruto was an enigma, a puzzle that could never be solved, extremely hard to read and impossible to know what he was thinking in his head with that usual blank, lazy and uncaring about what was happening around him expression on his face.
Mira told him about Naruto's incredible intelligence and sharp instinct after they returned from the mission. He was able to tell a lot about their mission just by looking at the mission request and some panel and newspaper he saw on the way to the train, something Makarov only heard from the stories about the First Master, a genius tactician and incredible clever young woman. Not only that but he was able to tell that the director of Bosco Museum of Magic Art was the thief in the first place. But what shocked him the most was the case about the Staff of Absolution, something that was greatly feared in the history of magic before the Zeref became an immortal and known by Earthland as the most powerful of all Dark Mages. The Staff could suck out one's magic as well as their life-force, killing the mage before turning it into the staff user's magic and gave him limitless amount of magic and yet Naruto was able to withstand to sucking process without any trouble, as if nothing happened.
It terrified him thinking just how powerful this young man was. Naruto's magical energy was sucked out of his body for a total thirty seconds and he still appeared to be perfectly normal, while it was recorded in the History of Magic that even a mere second of he staffs absorbing was incredibly deadly, even for the strongest mages. Makarov only had a glimpse of his power during Acnologia's attack which was more than unimaginable to begin with and yet from what he saw, Naruto wasn't even serious at that time.
An enigma...no better word to describe Naruto Uzumaki.
"Please, you got to fight me Naruto!" Natsu said with a massive grin, leaning on Naruto's table with Happy sitting on the top of his head, "I trained a lot these past few days to beat you, and even if I can't beat you now I want to test out just how much more powerful I had become." he stated.
"Listen, kid," Naruto said and put the last piece of cookies he was eating into his mouth before picking up a new one, "Why don't you go and rub your girlfriend's ass over there or something like that to return her feelings?" he asked as he pointed to Lisanna, who jumped a bit in shock and blushed furiously at his words, "and leave me alone for one second."
Makarov couldn't help but snort quietly, Naruto also has a rather sick sense of humor.
"What are you talking about?" Natsu asked in confusion before shaking his head, "Anyway, let's fight!" the pinkette roared and intended to punch Naruto in the face, only for him to lazily move his head to the side and easily avoid Natsu's punch, making the younger boy fall forward.
The fire Dragon slayer smirked and immediately got up to his feet and prepared for another attack. However before he could even make a single move, he was punched right in the face and sent flying across the hall.
"Natsu!" the person attacked him was none other than Erza Scarlet, as she said loudly with authority in her voice and pointed her finger at the boy, who was getting back to his feet at the other side of the hall while massaging his hurt cheek with his hand, "How many times do I have to tell you not to pick a fight with your fellow guildmates?"
"Redheads and their temper." Naruto muttered and flipped to another page of his book. She was almost a twin of Irene when they first met.
"I'm so sorry for his behavior, Naruto. It seems I didn't educate him about fighting among friends well enough." Erza said to him before saying, "You may strike me."
"A masochist, I see." Naruto nodded his head without turning back. Erza was about to say something when suddenly the one she punched away jumped to stand in front of her.
"Oi Erza!" Natsu cried out ,"Don't you think it is unfair for us that Naruto keeps his magic all for himself until now?" Natsu asked while pointing his hand at Naruto, "If he is our friend then there should be no secret between us." he stated in frustration.
"From the moment you were born, life is unfair kid and you will have to live with that." Naruto said emotionlessly as he flipped through a page before saying, "Sometimes, you will have to fight battle where you don't even know what your opponent power is and learn to prepare for the worst."
"That is why I'm asking you to fight me, I have prepared for the worst already!" Natsu said with a cheery grin, "I trained a lot you know, these past few days to fight you."
"Naruto," Makarov spoke up, "He isn't going to give up unless you give him what he wants." the Guild master chuckled.
"And then have him come back ask for more, no thanks old man." Naruto shook his head, "I have dealt with enough people like that over the years." he told him.
"Even though I don't agree with Natsu's action, I agree with the master." Erza nodded, "You should fight him, a friendly spar won't hurt." she agreed as Natsu nodded his head rapidly.
Naruto could only sigh. He closed his book and stood up from his seat before looking down at Natsu straight in the eyes. It wasn't like he got anything to do and it had been a long time since he actually tried to do something other than sit at one place and felt the time pass slowly around him, "Fine kid, if you want it then I will show you." Naruto then leaned back and said with a satisfaction smirk, holding five wallets in his hand, "If I win I will take all of your money, including your team's money as well." those who was drinking spit their beer out of their mouth in shock.
"GAH!" Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray and Wendy all checked their pocket and found it completely empty before crying out in surprise "When did you?!" they all asked and pointed at Naruto. Even Erza who stored her wallet in her pocket dimension was also stolen.
"...and I will also cook your cats" Naruto said with a devious smirk and much to everyone's shock again, holding Happy, Carla and Lily's tail in his hands.
"Carla!"
"Happy!"
"Lily!"
Makarov and Gildarts broke out in laughter. Naruto sure had a sick sense of humor.
"Oi! Don't make a joke like that!" Natsu cried out and tried to grab his wallet as well as Happy, who along with Carla and Lily was getting very uncomfortable with their tails being held like that, "Give me back Happy and my money." Naruto then released the cat but he still kept the wallets in his hands.
"Here is the other side of the deal, Natsu. If you win not only I return these wallets to you, I will also give you this." Naruto reached into his shirt and pulled out a necklace with a blue gem attracted to it.
"What is so special about that anyway?" Natsu asked while tilting his head to the side, not impressed.
"This necklace belonged to my godmother, before that it belonged to her grandfather." Naruto smiled, one of a few real smiles Fairy Tail had ever seen from him before continuing "It was made from a special Crystal Gem and if you sold this to a Jewelry Store, three mountains containing gold mines could be bought with the profits."
"WHAT!" Everyone cried out in absolute shock, even the master and Gildarts.
"Y-You...you actually wearing a fortune on your neck?" Natsu gasped in shock "You're kidding!" he said in shock.
"No I'm not, this thing is actually priceless" Naruto smirked evilly, "I guarantee you that." there was no lie in his tone.
"ALRIGHT THEN!" Natsu cried out with excitement "You're on! I'm all fired up!"
"Hold up, I ain't letting him go into a fight with my money on the line, I worked my butt off to get that cash so I could get my apartment back! I ain't missing another rent payment on account of Natsu's stupidity!" Lucy said as she walked over to Naruto and held out her hand, "Hand it over!" she demanded, "My money has not, nor will it ever be, a tool of Natsu's stupid antics." she told Naruto.
Naruto smirked, "At least someone here has some common sense." he said as he pulled it out and returned it. She reminded him of his wife Anna for a moment there. She could be pretty demanding too if something of hers was being threatened.
Gray nodded, "While we aren't the best Guild in the country, I still need to pay my bills, and I am behind quite a bit, I want my wallet back too." he said walking over.
"I agree, while Natsu may wish to fight you and put his stuff on the line, I have no such obligation to allow his actions hurt my own self esteem and even more agonized bank account." she said as she snatched her wallet from Naruto with a huff.
Wendy shook as she poked her finger's together, "N-Naruto-san, while I don't exactly have anything to say like that, I would like for you to return my wallet as well, please?" she asked him.
"Cute kid, and you said please, so yes." Naruto told her as he gently pat her head and gave her her wallet back.
"Hey, you ever take my stuff again, and I'll be the one to kick your ass!" Gajeel huffed as he took his skull themed wallet away, "And don't touch Lily ever again!" he said.
"While I wouldn't word it like that, it was a very uncomfortable experience." the black exceed agreed.
"Come on already, I wanna fight!" Natsu cried out in impatience.
~XxX-xxXXxx-XxX~
A few minutes later, everyone was geared up and greatly excited for the fight about to take place, as this was the first time they would be able to see Naruto in action for real. Many had cups of beer in their hands as well as popcorn, some prattled about random things, and others were placing bets to predict the winner. Cana, of course, was taking everyone's bets. Naruto and Natsu's fighting ground was a large open area of grass and dirt in the middle of the lush Forest near Magnolia town. The wizards of Fairy Tail were gathered around the southern rim of the area.
"Ugh!" Natsu ignited flames around his body in anticipation, "C'mon, let's get this fight started already!" he cried out impatiently with Naruto standing in front of him.
From across the crowd, Cana was sitting on a wooden crate. A barrel of beer was by her side while she gathered bets from other members in the Guild. For the first time ever, everyone was betting on Naruto to win, only his team was praying that Natsu would somehow find a way to win in order to get back their money, "Keep your shorts on!" Cana shouted at Natsu. "I still got people placing their bets." she told him.
"Garh! I want to fight him already!" Natsu then pointed his finger to Naruto, "Remember, you're not allowed to use that staring trick of yours and have to use your magic or fight for real in this fight." that was something both Naruto and Natsu agreed on. Natsu would go all out against him while Naruto would show his magic to the pinkette at a form of respect.
"Alright, all bets are in!" Cana shouted.
Once Master Makarov heard Cana's announcement, he took a few steps in front of the crowd and, "Let the match...begin!" he swiped his hand through the air while announcing loudly.
Immediately the Fire Dragon Slayer then leapt forward, his flames intensifying from his fist as he did so while Naruto was still standing completely still and slowly reached his hand into his pocket. Everyone held their breath and waited for him to pull out a weapon or something like that.
And he pulled out the book he had been reading all this time.
"What the hell!" Natsu stopped midway through his attack when he saw Naruto opened his book and casually read it "What are you doing?!" he cried out.
"I'm going to enjoy this book because it's too good to leave it for later." Naruto said while pointing one finger up, "I will add one more stipulation into our fight, if you manage to land even a slightest of blow on me, you will win." he told Natsu
"What?! Are you looking down on me again?" Natsu cried out.
"Nope, I'm very serious right here." Naruto looked up from his book, "I will use my magic, that's a promise."
And yes, he was looking down on the kid.
"Okay then, don't regret it later!" and with that, Natsu charged at Naruto again with his fist flared with dragon's fire "Fire Dragon's: Iron Fist" Natsu sent a punch toward Naruto, but before his fist could connect with the blond's face, sand suddenly shot up from the ground and formed a wall in front of Naruto, stopping Natsu's fist from punching Naruto in the face.
"Sand magic?!" Max cried out in shock "He can use Sand magic too?" he asked in surprise.
"No...There is something different about that sand." Erza shook her head and the master nodded his head.
Natsu gritted his teeth and kicked Naruto, however the sand suddenly moved to the side and block Natsu's foot as well. Out of frustration Natsu then jumped to the right and made another attack but once again, the wall of sand rose up on itself and stopped Natsu's attack, as if it had a mind on itself.
"No magic power is coming from that guy." Laxus commented, "The sand is protecting him on its own." he remarked.
"What? Is that even possible?" Lucy asked in never heard of such a thing before.
"Look at him, he is not even looking at Natsu." Gildarts said calmly, looking at Natsu who was sending punches and kicks at Naruto's wall of sand from behind the blond.
"An absolute defense." Naruto said and waved his hand to behind him, making a column of sand shot out and crash into Natsu's face, knocking him back several feet away, "Unless you're faster than the sand's reaction, you won't be able to get through this." he told the teen.
"And from the look of it, that reaction is almost instant." Makarov nodded his head, "This fight is over for Natsu."
"Don't look down on me!" Natsu gritted his teeth and brought his head back "Fire Dragon's..." his cheeks puffed out "ROAR~" an enormous torrent of flames ripped out from the boy's mouth and toward Naruto, who only smirked.
The wall of sand suddenly engulfed Naruto from his head down and suddenly fell to the ground freely as if he wasn't there at all. Natsu stopped his attack and looked around to search for any sign of Naruto. However, this changed when he felt a finger tap his shoulder where Natsu turned, "Flame Tiger...Iron Fist" in a blur, Naruto then cocked his fist back in the same manner of Natsu's usual Iron fist attack stance, with blue flame dancing around his hand, "Sorry, can't help it!" He then punched Natsu right in the face, knocking him back several feet on the ground.
"Blue fire?" Gray asked in shock, "Just how many magic does he have?" Everyone was also wondering the same thing.
Natsu picked himself off the ground and wiped the bruise on his cheek. Usually, fire attacks wouldn't be able to do much damage on him and yet he clearly felt the heat and power of Naruto's fire, showing that it was no ordinary flame, "This is what I'm talking about." He grinned with his body shook with excitement "A real fight!" he exclaimed happily.
"Yes, like a man!" Elfman cried out while nodding his head
"There is plenty of ways I can use to toy with you, kid." Naruto smirked as the flame around his hand disappeared, his body crouched low as he drop his book, "But for now, let me show you the different levels, in our power." as soon as Naruto's book touch the ground, Naruto disappeared. The next thing they saw was an invisible force slammed into Natsu's back, creating a small yet noticeable shockwave and sent him into the air and the dragon slayer could only cry out in pain, desperately trying to regain his body but before he could do so, something suddenly smashed into Natsu's stomach and sent him away again but not a second later Natsu was once again attacked by something he nor everyone could see.
Fairy Tail watched in shock as Natsu was smacked around like a rag-doll in the air. The shockwave's were becoming stronger and stronger with each second and even Natsu's uncontrollable tossed speed was becoming hard to keep up to.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked with her body shaking "I can't...see anything at all."
"Too fast..." Laxus muttered with his eyes wide in shock, "This is way too fast!" and then. Natsu was smacked down to the ground before being forced into the air once again. This time, Naruto appeared above him, fully revealed himself to be the one who attacked all this time.
"Those aren't human movements." Jet, the one who already used to extreme speed because of his magic muttered in shock with sweat pouring down his forehead.
"I will take all of your money."
That was the only thing Natsu could hear before blackness took over him as Naruto sent a hard punch into Natsu's stomach, smashing him down to the ground with so much force that it created shockwave strong enough to knock everyone back and create a cloud of dust as he planted Natsu into a crater of his own making.
Naruto then returned to the ground gratefully and picked up his book without any more words.
"Winner...Naruto..." Makarov stated quietly
"I won't cook your cat, Natsu," Naruto said and reached for the teens wallet, he then opened it up before pulling the stack of money out of it before throwing the wallet back to Natsu, "But I think I will take this as compensation." He walked to Mira and picked out a few bills, "This is for my meals for the next few days and some tips for you." Mira could only accept with her head nod slowly. Naruto then walked into the Guild and close the door behind him.
What kind of power was that?
~XxX-A few hours later-XxX~
"Man! This sucks!" Natsu Dragneel muttered with bandages wrapped around him from head to toe. Naruto clearly didn't go easy on him that day and now he was left with a lot of injures as well as broken bones and bruises all on his body even after most of them were healed by Wendy, unable to do anything other than cross his arms on his chest and huffed all day.
"Shut it!" Lucy called out with her finger pointing at Natsu, "This is what you get for challenging someone who is clearly stronger than you to a fight like that."
"How was I supposed to know he would have super speed?" Natsu whined.
"Because he keeps to himself, something we would all like to do if you would allow us some damn privacy. Don't go challenge him again!" Lucy growled, "How are you suppose to pay rent this month?" she demanded, "You can't, not only cuz your stupid enough to challenge Naruto to a fight with your money on the line, but because you don't think, you never think, and it always costs someone something. Honestly, if I didn't know you could feed yourself, I would worry for the world at large due to how much of a moron you are, seriously, you need to grow up and get out of this childish act of always getting into a fight with everyone just because you enjoy it. Not everyone likes fighting pointless fights like you do, and if I am being honest with you, you're starting to piss me off with your antics." she told Natsu before she walked away.
Gray hummed in surprise, "Wow, guess she's not the only one fed up with your stupidity, but is the only one willing to actually tell you what she thinks about it too." he remarked.
Lucy sat down next to Naruto and sighed, "Good grief, it's like I'm partnered with a child." she grumbled.
"I don't know why a girl like you has to worry so much about him, he isn't your responsibility is he?" Naruto asked "Ever since I came here, I had heard a total of fifty two times you whined about either rent and money, or Natsu and his theatrics for attention; and that was in this building alone."
"Wait, you counted?" Someone shouted, overheard Naruto and Lucy's conversation.
"Hard to not notice if she is doing that from time to time." Lucy blushed in embarrassment. Naruto then turned back to Lucy, "My point is, you don't need to look out for someone who's clearly capable of thinking and fending for themselves. If he wants to waste time fighting and causing damage that comes out of his paycheck, then don't. You can become a model or something like that with this kind of body to pay for your rent and not need to take pointless jobs from that work board over there without needing a team behind you, which while good, won't work for this guild. Have you ever tried modeling before?" Naruto asked, taking a bite of his snack.
"Yeah, but..."
"Let's me guess, you were modeling at one point, and those guys came and ruined it?" Naruto pointed his finger to Natsu and Gray.
"Yeah they did something like that, but my dream is becoming a writer, not a model so..." Lucy chuckled nervously while scratching the back of her head.
"A writer eh?" Naruto let out a soft smile before saying "Is there a book yet?" he asked.
"Yes...but, you know..." Naruto brought out his hand to stop her from saying anything more, already understood from the way she was acting that Lucy's books couldn't sell very well before pulling a small scroll out of the pouch behind him, "What is that?" Naruto unraveled his scroll, showing various complex characters inside before pressing his hand on the largest symbol.
Lucy gasped when she saw a book appeared out of it "Here, I'll let you borrow this." Naruto gave it to Lucy.
"Um...what is this book?" Lucy asked in curiosity "The Tale of the Utterly Gusty Shinobi?" she turned around and searched for the author's name, "Jiraiya the toad sage?"
"Muwahaha, who in the right mind would name a book with that lame name!?" Natsu and his cat roared out in laughter. However they immediately stopped and their face became as pale as ghost when two kunai was thrown toward them and impaled onto the wooden wall, only a millimeter from their groins.
"I would watch what you say boy." Naruto warned him, "That book is as important to me as this necklace." Naruto said, pointing at the necklace he wear on his neck, "My godfather is the writer. It's not the best-seller, admittedly, but to me it is the best kind of book you can read." Naruto said with a smile, as Lucy opened the book and took a glance.
"This is..." she muttered.
"Yes, I was named after the main character of that book." Naruto nodded his head, "It was sold poorly, and nobody bought it." Naruto turned back to eat his snack "I hope it will give you some inspirations, to never give up as a writer, and for your future books as well." Lucy then hugged it tightly to her chest before bowing.
"Thank you!" She stood up with a bright smile.
Naruto then reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out a stack of moneys, before giving it to Lucy.
"Here, I will give you this to have a copy of each and every single one of your novels." Lucy gasped in shock.
"I will send them to you immediately!" Lucy rapidly bowed her head before running out of the Guilds as fast as she could, heading to her home to grab the books Naruto bought while crying out in happiness.
"What's wrong with her?" Natsu grumbled.
Naruto looked up and saw Mirajane smiling at him softly.
"What?"
"You do care about everyone, don't you?" Mira asked softly and put another cup of tea down to the table in front of Naruto "Here, this is on me this time."
"Thanks." Naruto nodded his head.
"By the way Naruto, interesting magic you got there." Makarov spoke up while looking at the scroll on Naruto's table, "I didn't recall it name, though."
"Fuinjutsu. Sealing Art of the Shinobi." Naruto said and folded his scroll back and put it into his pocket.
"Wait, you mean like a Ninja?" Natsu asked excitedly, holding the Kunai in his hands, "And isn't this a Ninja's weapons too? You're a ninja?!" he asked excitedly.
"What an annoying brat!" Naruto said and pushed him away, "Anyway old man, are there any new missions I can do?" Naruto asked, "I'm saving money to buy a house."
"You really need to save money with that thing on your neck?" Gray asked, pointing at Naruto.
"Other than put it to gambling, I have no reason to sell it, and last time I went to a casino, I kinda broke the places bank several times andwas banned for life." Naruto shook his head.
"I got one here, but it is only a C-class mission." Makarov said and brought out a mission request from his pocket "Something about a blue gemstone fell into the ocean and they couldn't find it."
"I'll do it." Naruto stood up and got the paper request from the master, "Tell Lucy to put my books on the table, I will get them later." and with that he left the Guild.
~XxX-xxXXxx-XxX~
"You lost it here?" Naruto asked, standing on the deck of the fancy pleasure boat that was taking him to the middle of nowhere, in his opinion of course. The man who requested this mission was rather rich and was a famous director of the Sorcerer Magazine, who was doing his business using his own pleasure boat. The gemstone Naruto was looking for was a gift for his wife, but he accidentally dropped it during a photo shoot yesterday with the magazine's model and the gem rolled on the deck before falling to the sea below.
"Yes, right at this spot." The man nodded his head, "Young man, wait!" Without listening to the man who requested the mission, Naruto jumped over the cliff and down to the sea below, "Are all Fairy Tail's mages this reckless?" his asked while chuckling nervously before turning to the captain, "Oi, stop the boat will you." he said loudly.
"I found it!" His head snapped to the side and saw Naruto popped his head up from the water surface holding a blue gemstone in his hand, "Is this the right one?" he asked loudly.
"That was fast..." The photographer said in amazement before reaching out for a float with a string attracted to it "Here..." He turned around and was about to throw the float to Naruto when suddenly the blond launched himself out of the water several feet into the air before landing gratefully down to the spot he was at a few second ago "Now I know why Jackson is so excited when it comes to you guys." He said slowly.
"Here, your gemstone." Naruto gave it to the man.
"Thank you, do you need a to..." But he stopped when he realized that Naruto was completely dry, "I guess you don't need a towel and change of clothes, do ya?"
"Yep, a glass of something other than sea water would be nice." Naruto said with a smile, "And of course, my reward as well please."
"I will get you something to drink and reward, please wait here and enjoy the view." The man said before hurriedly returned to the cabin, heading to his room to get what Naruto was asking for.
Naruto sighed as he stared at the cloud lazily floating on the sky above him.
His life sure did suck
That was the only thing that was repeating inside of his head. Doing missions like this clearly reminded him of the old times, with his team and everyone, brought back a lot of memories but at the same time made Naruto wanted to quit this as soon as possible and spend his life alone again on Tenrou Island, in isolation, again. He didn't know what Mavis was thinking in that little head yet extremely smart of her, being one of the only persons that took a part in his life Naruto couldn't fully read or foresee her intentions something that the both of them shared, but clearly she wanted him to stop being so miserable and pathetic by filling his too quiet life with her pride party.
A little more than a week and Naruto already had to beat up a brat just so he would stop bugging him. The only reason Naruto agreed to tag along with them was because Mavis said he might find something interesting from them.
What a turn of life!
At least, he got something to do now.
"It's time everyone." Naruto turned his head down a little and saw a slim young woman of average height with large blue eyes wearing a white bathrobe on her body, curly long, wavy and flowing blonde hair, gathered on the back of her head and tied in a ponytail that reached down to her middle back, with two short bangs framing her face, and a decorative flower with large petals adorning the right part of her head above her right ear stepped onto the deck with a group of men behind her, probably the Sorcerer Magazine's photography crew with the equipment they were carrying.
When they were a few meters away from Naruto, at the top of the deck a man then walked over and put a long chair there while the other setting up the light, mirror and everything Naruto could think about a professional photo-shoot. When everything was setting, the young woman then undid the belt around her waist and removed her bathrobe from her body, showing that she was wearing a blue patterned bikini with white outlines and an absolutely perfect curvy body, something that could only belonged to a professional super model, with large breasts and curves at all the right place.
She then sat down on the chair and made a sexy pose, with a soft and seductive smile on her face.
"Yes yes, just like that Jenny-chan" The photographer said, giving her a thumb up and started snapping photo's.
"Such a splendid woman isn't she" The director returned with Naruto's money and a glass of lemonade in his hand, "In case you're among the group that just returned, her name is Jenny Realight, our pride model and the current Miss Fiore." Naruto nodded his head "Here, I can't find any beer or wine on this ship so I hope you are in the mood for some lemonade."
"Don't worry, this is fine. I don't drink." Naruto took the glass of lemonade and took the straw into his mouth.
"Hard to find a young man like you these days." The director chuckled before giving Naruto his reward, "Here, the money I promised in the mission request." Naruto then took it and put into his pocket, "How old are you young man, eighteen or twenty?"
"I'm older than I look. I'm about thirty-eight." Was Naruto's reply before pointing at Jenny, "Mirajane of my Guild is a model too, right?"
"Yep, she was one of the most popular models we ever had seven years ago before she disappeared along with a large part of Fairy Tail." the director nodded his head "If she was still here at that time, I bet that she would easily become Miss Fiore." he told Naruto.
"Seems like it." Naruto nodded his head. He didn't say it out loud but Naruto admitted that Mirajane was very attractive and beautiful, maybe even more than Jenny Realight was. Naruto then finished his glass of lemonade before giving it back to the director, "Thanks for the drink, glad to do business with you." He turned around and was about to leave when suddenly, he saw a ship approached with a group of men standing on it. Base on their appearance Naruto would call that they wasn't here for good intention, not to mention they also had a flag with a skull on it.
"Shit, it's pirates!" He heard someone cried out in horror, everyone began to get panic.
"W-Why are they here?" He saw Jenny ran to his left and looked at the approaching pirate with nervousness on her face, "Not good!"
"You know these guys?" Naruto pointed his hand to the group of pirates.
"Not really, but I heard about them." Jenny nodded her head before saying, "They are very dangerous pirates, and most of them are Dark Mages on the wanted list." Naruto then turned her head to look at Naruto, "Do you know how to fight, we have to protect everyone on this boat?" but her eyes widened when she saw Naruto smirked and put his hands together in front of him.
"Look boss, we hit the jackpot!" One of the pirates shouted and pointed his hand at Jenny.
"Really? Of all the ship you guys could think about attacking...it has to be this one?" Naruto felt his smirk widen as he raised up his right arm into the air, the middle and ring fingers are each folded on top of the hand opposite itself and interlocked with each another, and the thumbs were pressed together at their end segments, "The irony of life...really." he stated.
"What are you talking about, now is not the time for..." But her eyes widened when she saw blue aura began to form around him before exploding in a powerful gust of wind, so powerful that if Jenny didn't have her grip on the railing of the boat she would be blown away. The pirates were also a little taken apart by this.
"Water Style..." The water around him began to rise up on itself around them "Water Dragon Bullet" Jenny, along with everyone else who was looking at the water all gasped in shock when they saw it formed into the shapes of a massive amount of water into a giant, powerful dragon. It was so big that the head alone could completely oversize the entire pleasure boat.
"B-boss..." one of the pirates said in terror.
"W-what the hell is that?!" they screamed out in horror as the dragon then crashed down on their boat, completely destroyed it and washed all of the pirates away, tossing them into the sea much to the photography crew and Jenny's amazement. The pirates all screamed out in terror and swam away as fast as they could as the dragon still continued to chase after them.
"A-amazing..." Jenny gasped in shock. She had heard from her friends at Blue Pegasus that despite their current status, all of Fairy Tail's mages were incredible strong but this was the first time she had seen one in action like this and it shocked her to the core.
"Not as big as it used to be but...oh well." Naruto shrugged his shoulders before looking at Jenny, seeing the blue stamp on her arm, "Blue Pegasus?"
"Yes, you're a mage of Fairy Tail right?" Jenny nodded her head, looking at the symbol of Fairy Tail on the armband he wore on the right sleeve of his shirt.
"Kind of." Naruto shrugged, which confused Jenny but he offered the model his hand nonetheless, "Naruto Uzumaki, glad that I can protect Fiore's number one flower from bad guys."
Jenny let out a soft giggle at that before taking his hand into hers and shook it.
Naruto couldn't help but smile slightly.
What he just did brought back a feeling that Naruto already forgot a long time ago.
Maybe Mavis was right about all this.
