CHAPTER 10

(NARUTO'S P.O.V)

The force field not only knocked me off my feet but it had sent me flying. I felt like I had been punched by a tailed beast, as I transformed into the Nine Tails Chakra Mode in mid-air. However even though I transformed I couldn't stop myself from crashing into the concrete wall behind me. As I felt the impact of my body slam into the wall, I saw the force field energy had gone past me causing some sort of shockwave creating an earthquake.

Shinachiku and I had been training not too far from Fairytail before all of this happened. His body that was now consumed by crimson flames, didn't burnt him alive, instead the flames burnt fiercely. As the angry flames cackled, and I called out to my son, I realized the powerful flames reminded me of another person.

NATSU…

So this was Shinachiku's power…

FIRE…

So it finally revealed itself. It's about time I smirked to myself, as I pulled my body out from the wall.

What caused his powers to surface?.

Was it the vibrations that we felt or something else?.

What I was sure of was that my son's newfound power was strong. So strong now that it revealed itself it wasn't afraid to let anyone or anything know it was here.

Suddenly I felt the strange vibrations again. At that exact moment, Shinachiku shifted his body slightly, as he grounded his feet into the ground. Using his newfound power, as the ground cracked under him, his feet deepened into the ground. He then used his magic to propel him into the air.

I sprinted off at top speed after him. So it was the vibration that summoned Shinachiku's powers. Now all I needed to do was let him lead me to the source….

(NATSU'S P.O.V)

I woke up startled from my sleep in a blanket of sweat, as I gasped for air.

Something was wrong…

I felt this strange weird vibration.

I didn't know what it was, but my dragon instincts told me whatever it was was dangerous. "What's wrong Natsu?." Lucy whispered to me, as she sat up. The moonlight shone on her sleepy face, as she yawned, while I jumped out of bed.

Staring at the clock I realized it was midnight. I decided to check on our guest to make sure everything was alright.

I cantered into the hallway then headed towards the stairs. As I reached the top, which was the guest living room, there lay Sakura fast asleep.

As if on cue, she shifted then sat up rubbing her eyes. "Sakura what are you doing sleeping on the couch?. Didn't Naruto and Shinachiku come back?," I questioned confused that she was sleeping on the couch.

"No," Sakura said. "If he did he would've waked me. What could be taking them so long?. I know Shinachiku had asked his father to train him alone, but I thought they would be back by now." Realization stepping in.

"I'll go look for them. Don't worry they're probably still out training.." I reassured her as I headed downstairs.

Something was wrong.

I could feel it in my gut, but I didn't have the heart to tell Sakura…
