AN: Another chapter is here for those of you willing to join me in the next world! Now children, just drink the punch and lay down.
(Chapter 3- 3 Years Later)
Naruto Zero made his way through the streets of Magnolia Town, a small smile on his face as he walked. He was feeling pretty good about himself. He had just finished a mission and was on his way back to Fairy Tail. He had not changed a lot over the years in terms of personality, but he had physically.
He now stood at an intimidating 6'5". His black hair had grown longer, now reaching the nape of his neck. He still wore a strip of clothe over his left eye and he still wore his black clothes and white sash, including his full black gloves. The only thing that really changed was that he now wore a black haori with the kanji for 'Oni Zero' on it in white. He still had his butcher sword strapped to his back.
Looking around, he spotted a group of girls with hearts in their eyes staring at him, the Weekly Sorcerer in hand. This was something that his books on how to interact with people never mentioned. Fangirls. He had asked Markarov once how to get rid of them non-violently. The diminutive master said that the only way was to have a stronger female nearby.
Naruto started to spend even more time with the woman vying for his attention.
Walking lightly faster, not making eye contact with the demo-woman who he equated to banshees. He sighed as he looked at Fairy Tail, already hearing the loud ruckus going on. He got an evil smirk as he started to access his more… fear inducing magic. He started by using the re-quip he was taught by Erza to take his shirt and sword off. Next he used his Bone Make to grow spiky protrusions along his exposed and muscled chest, shoulders, and arms. He then entered his initial Demon Cloak State, giving him the look of an unholy beast.
He walked up to the doors and kicked them open, gaining the attention of everyone inside. Stalking forward, he kept an angry scowl on his face when he saw Natsu about to pee himself, Gray right behind him. He noticed a blonde girl near the bar talking with Mira had peed herself. Naruto turned to a calm Cana who was sipping her beer right out of the cask. "Cana, may I have a copy of the Weekly Sorcerer? I think my Fangirls have doubled in number and I need to know why."
Cana nodded and tossed him her copy as he cancelled his magic and sat down, everyone going back to their business as if it was normal. Naruto frowned at what he read.
' In the past few years, Fairy Tail guild master, Markarov Dreyer seems to have found a spectacular lot of mages. From the 'Lightning Beast' Laxus to Erza Scarlet Titania, he has an eye for strong mages. However, this article is not about them. It's about the mysterious 'Oni Zero' of Fairy Tail. The man has shown himself to be an S-Class mage of Gildarts Clive's level, and has been rumored to have several Lost Magics at his disposal. This man is Naruto Zero, the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Zeref the dark Mage.
The man has only recently, in the last five years, been making himself known to the public. When we asked several of his guild mates about him, they had this to say:
"Naruto is a very strong mage, and an even better friend." One Macao said.
"he certainly knows how to treat his comrades well." Grey Fullbuster.
"He's really strong! I think he could take on the Master, even!" Natsu Dragneel.
When we asked if he had any girlfriends or friends, everyone in the guild seemed to point towards several prominent members: Mirajane Strauss, Cana Alberona, Erza Scarlet, Levy McGarden, and Aries Ramm. When asked, they had told me that they had decided to share him, and even said that he had some trouble interacting with people. They urged readers to try and interact with him when they see him as much as possible.
We were given a rundown of his abilities by Markarov Dreyer, and let me tell you, he is strong. He has several types of magics: Re-Quip, Bone Make, and a kind of magic called 'Demon Slayer magic.' When I asked of the last one, Markarov just said that "You had best not try and fight him when he uses that, as he becomes a power to be reckoned with."
I asked some of the Council what they had to say, and most of them said the same thing: He is the number one candidate to become a Wizard Saint, just like his mother, Kushina Uzumaki. While not much is known of him personally, we can safely say that we at the Weekly Sorcerer will do our best to provide you with information.

Naruto looked over the paper and made it to the photo section before gasping in shock. There, for the entirety of the world to see, was a picture of him in his black swimming trunks getting out of the ocean near Fairy Tail's beach. In the picture and sitting on towels were the girls vying for his affection, clad in bikini's. How the flying fuck did they get this picture? In a caption to the side, it said that he was voted 'Sexiest Mage of the Year' for the third time.
Naruto turned to a smiling Cana, a slight twitch in his eyebrow as he spoke. "Cana, can you tell me why the Weekly Sorcerer has a picture of me without a shirt on? I really don't want people to see my scars. Especially the one near my heart."
The brunette simply rubbed his cheek, getting a purr from him as she spoke. "I gave that to them with the idea that it would help you with your people skills. Not only that, but it also managed to bump up the number of mission requests we got. I got permission from Mira, Levy, and Aries."
Naruto said in a quiet voice. "And Erza?"
Cana went pale as she remembered the red head. She had forgotten to ask her! Before their conversation could continue, steps were heard coming up to the guild, steps everyone knew. Natsu and Grey paled as everyone froze. Naruto simply stood and made his way over to the bar, sitting on one of the stools and banging his head on the table.
The doors opened and a tall woman with brown and black eyes with red hair walked in. She wore armor over her blouse and a blue skirt. She had heeled black boots and a serious look on her face as she started laying into the guild. When her eyes landed on a depressed Naruto, she let out an uncharacteristic squeal and glomped him, stopping him from banging his head again.
Naruto smiled as he hugged Erza back. He could feel her starting to grind against him, causing his face to flush a deep red. He had no idea why all the girls in his life found it funny to make him look like a tomato. Seriously, Cana would take every opportunity to try and strip for him, Mira would whisper suggestive things to him, Levy had tried to get him to read her little orange books, Erza would rub against him, and Aries… who knew that such a shy and sweet girl was such a pervert? She read the hard core stuff!
Erza backed away from a very flushed Naruto and smiled at him. "Naruto it's ggod to have you back. I trust the mission went well?"
Naruto nodded as he regained his composure. "It went pretty good. All I had to do was protect a town from skeletons. Nothing major. Though, on my way back I did stop by Hargeon Town. Apparently, Natsu thought it a good idea to burn half the port down."
The blonde haired girl suddenly piped up. "Hey, you leave Natsu alone! He did that to save me!"
Naruto turned to the girl. "And you were a fool for believing that that man was a Fairy Tail mage, charm or no charm. Your actions will most likely result in Natsu getting a punishment from Master Markarov. Now I know you're young and inexperienced, but that is no excuse for doing what you did. Now please, introduce yourself. My name is Naruto Zero, more commonly known as 'Oni Zero.'"
The girl was ashamed of herself for what her actions could cost her pink haired friend, and she said. Lucy Heartfelia. I just joined Fairy Tail!"
Naruto gave her a small smile. "Good. We need more level headed people around this ship of crazy people. Now, what type of-" Whatever he was about to say was cut off by a small red blur knocking him from his stool. With a grunt, Naruto sat up and gazed with kind eyes at the little red ball of energy snuggling into his chest.
It was a small fox, with a beautiful red tail. It had on a pair of black pants and a black shirt with a white sash across his chest. He had tape on his small hands, tape going up to his elbow. He had a small haori on and a large, for him, wooden sword strapped to his back under a small pink backpack. He even emulated Naruto to where he had a strip of clothe covering his left eye. His lone visible blood red eye was filled with joy.
"You're home! I missed you! Momma-Mira said that you went on a mission, and that I had to stay here! But is told her that you needed me to help kick some bad guy butt! And then she told me that you were already gone and Mamma-Cana told me to not worry. Now you're back!" The Excited talking fox said rapidly.
Naruto chuckled at his 'son.' He had found him one day as the newborn fox was in the forest. He had taken it home and given it some food, being incredibly surprised that it could talk like Happy. Since then Grinner, the fox, had taken Naruto and the girls of his harem as his parents. The girls fell in love with him immediately, treating him like a son. "I'm sorry Grinner. The mission was really dangerous and I didn't ant you to get hurt. How 'bout this; if you behave the rest of the day, I'll get you some pocky. Sound good?"
Grinner nodded rapidly, making Naruto worry his little vulpine head would fly off. "Uh huh! Can I go play with Happy now?" At Naruto's nod, Grinner formed his magic wings and took off to look for his best friend.
"You really spoil that fox, Naruto." A voice said. Naruto turned to it and smiled, seeing Markarov standing there. The diminutive master sat on the stool beside him and said. "Not that I don't. It's just, he and Happy are the babies of the guild. They deserve to have their innocence for as long as they can."
Smiling, Naruto handed over the completed mission form. "I completed my mission, Master. The town was protected, and all the skeletons taken care of."
Markarov smiled in approval and said. "And your Team?"
"I gave them the day off. They went home to rest while I came here to report in. I expect they'll be here soon."
Naruto turned to Mirajane and asked. "Mira, can I expect you and the others to be at my home at say, seven?"
The white haired beauty nodded with a gorgeous smile. "Yup! We'll be there! Say, Master, why don't you join us. It would be a nice change to come over to Naruto's for food. Despite what he says, he's a really good cook."
Naruto's brow twitched as he grumbled. "Mira, I don't want that getting out. If it does, then everyone will be trying to get me to cook for them."
The doors to the guild opened and an individual entered. All three had flaming red hair. The first one was garbed in a loose black cloak and dark blue pants with white leg warmers and black boots. His face was young, his brown eyes lazily looking at everyone. On his back was a large scroll that held his true magic. Underneath the cloak he had a short sleeved shirt that was colored black. He was the other member of Team Zero, Sasori of the Red Sands. He was a very powerful mage, almost rivaling Laxus in shear, raw power.
He used an ancient form of magic that involved puppets and things. Before he was found by Naruto and convinced to join Fairy Tail, he was an assassin for hire, using the bodies of his dead enemies to make his Human Puppets. Markarov had been overjoyed to have the man join his guild, and was the only person besides Naruto that knew of his secret technique.
The red head made his way over to the bar, only to get stopped by an angry Natsu. "Oi, Sasori, you owe me a fight!"
Sasori looked at him with a calm smile and easy going expression as he said. "Natsu, do you remember what I told you? How I would use Hiruko next time? Do you REALLY want me to use that?"
Natsu paled as he backed away, cowering behind Lucy. Said blonde looked at the red head, a blush on her face as she looked at his handsome face. Sasori made his way to the bar and sat down next to Naruto. He ordered a beer and turned his seat to look out at his guild.
Naruto looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Didn't you go home?"
"Yes, but it's better to drink with friends than by yourself." He got a 'Here Here!' from Cana at that. "Besides, my Landlord was trying to set me up with his daughter again. Annoyed the hell out of me. I mean seriously, am I that attractive?"
Naruto nodded as he said. "I feel you. I mean, Mira, are we really that attractive?"
The white haired woman smiled as she said. "Well, Sasori has his boyish good looks and you have a rugged and dangerous look about you that makes me so wet."
Naruto blushed as Sasori howled alongside Markarov in laughter. "M-M-Mia, please don't say that. I need to go on another mission. Don't burn the guild down while I'm gone!"
He went up to the board and looked at the missions until he found one.
'Help wanted! Group of mages vandalizing town! Reward: 150,00 Jewels. We specifically request Oni Zero for this mission!'
Grabbing it, he walked out of the guild.
(Kappa Town)
Naruto got off the train and made his way to the Mayor's office. Once he was there, he was informed of the problem. Oracion Seis mages had been causing some minor property damage to the town, destroying a pub and several shops. They had apparently tried to extort the owner of the pub to forget their debt to him. Things got violent really fast.
Naruto made his way to their magical location, his normal clothing now back on. Kubuchioboro firmly strapped to his back. Once he arrived, he realized he was in a field. Looking around, he saw some generic mages from the guild standing next to an attractive silver haired girl and a black haired boy. His eyebrow raised as he examined his potential opponents before lazily raising his hand. "Yo."
A bit taken back by his rather, uncaring greeting, the black haired man spoke. "We of Oracion Seis have gone to great lengths to make you an offer. Our Master wants you to join the strongest guild in Fiore, so that we can claim glory for ourselves."
Naruto looked at him before speaking, his tone deep. "A great man once told me 'Allegiance and Loyalty are to different tings. Allegiance is where you obey without question, Loyalty is where you obey at your choice.' My answer is no, I am afraid. I have no desire to betray the guild that has raised me and cared for me, teaching me how to interact with people and how to control my magic. Tell your master that I have no interest in joining him, and thank you for the offer."
The black haired man sneered angrily as he said. "Then we'll send your body back to your shitty guild! Kill him!"
Naruto scowled at his foolishness. Unwrapping his cloak and taking his sword out, he swung it and cut several of the mages down, unconscious. He sprinted to the leader and continued to cleave anyone in his path down.
Maki was pissed. This man had the nerve to turn down an offer from them?! The greatest guild in Fiore? How dare her! He turned to his companion. "Angel, do something!"
Angel just stared at the man currently decimating their men left and right, fear and … arousal in her brain. She squeezed her thighs together in an effort to control it, now was not the tie! She could masturbate when she got back to the guild. She brought out her key and went to call her celestial spirits when a hand clamped to her mouth. She looked into the red, swirling and lined eyes of Naruto. She felt sleepy soon after, falling unconscious in his arms.
Setting Angel down, he ran to Maki and slammed his fist into the black haired mans face. The man was sent back violently through several trees, a boulder, a wall, another wall, a tree, a boulder, a wall, more walls, and a cart before he finally stopped, every bone in his body broken.
Satisfied, Naruto picked the unconscious woman up and delivered her to the authorities as well as the others. After, he made his way to a small stand and ordered a plate of food and ate in silence. That silence was broken after a few hours when Angel walked in and sat down next to him.
She awkwardly sat there, occasionally looking at him. She had heard rumors of the Demon Zero. How he was stronger than Markarov and Gildarts at the young age of Twenty. She had read that he liked strong, independent woman and that he had a small , and reluctant, harem of some of fairy Tail's most powerful female mages.
Naruto looked at her and said one thing before he left. "Peace be with you, Angel. And may heaven never weep."
AN: Third chapter= Done! As for the harem, here it is:
Mirajane
Cana
Erza
Levy
Aries
Angel
Juvia
I added Juvia because she has the same kind of interaction problem as Naruto. As such, they would make a good couple. I may add some new additions and such. And yes, Sasori will be paired with Lucy. I just think that that will make an interesting couple. No complaints.
(Omake)
Naruto and Sasori were watching as Grinner was wildly swinging his wooden sword at Laxus, much ti his annoyance. Right before the lightning mage could snap, an interesting thing happened.
Grinner stood a ways away from Laxus, a straw hat on his head. Looking up, he had a piece of straw in his mouth. He slowly drew his sword in an elegant arc. He said in a calm cool voice. "Humming Ten Feet: Arrow Notch Strike!"
In a flash of light, he was behind Laxus, his sword drawn across his body. As he sheathed it and it clisked, a slash appeared at Laxus, even as his pants fell to the ground.
Naruto appeared before his son, a proud smile on his face as he said. "Good Job!"
Grinner did as his name sake and said. "Aye!"
(End Omake)
