ENJOOOOOOOOOY!
Today was the start of our young Hero's adventure, and boy was he excited.
"Neh, Gramps! Where will we go?"
"That is unknown; we will go to where our feet take us!"
"Awesome!"
"That is a lie"
"You're just kidding me"
"Hohoho I just can't kid you now can I?" Warrod laughed, Warrod was always away from home and now that he had a child to look after why not take him to where he goes?
"Our first destination is the Lars Dessert, what once used to be a forest now turned to half a dessert and still expanding"
"Why?"
"That is unknown but it is my duty as a Nature Magic user to stop it from happening"
Nature Magic is separated into different types, there are many as long as it is connected to Earth it is considered as Nature Magic, examples are Warrod and Naruto's affinity for Green Magic, and Juura Neekis' Earth Magic.
"Wow you're so powerful Gramps!"
"At my age of course I will be, but I know that you will get as strong as me earlier"
"You really believe that?"
"No" Was Warrod's genius reply
Naruto was sitting and circling circles on the ground a cloud of depression above his head
"But that is a lie, it is the duty of the previous generation to believe in the new one!" Warrod smiled
"Neh, you're so confusing old man, sometimes you're acting sagelike then later you're joking"
"Do you want a potato? I stole it from a farm not too long ago"
"My point"
"Quit yapping brat, I'm taking a sleep"
"When are you ever awake besides eating and drinking?"
Kurama was quiet
"Bah, take your nap for all I care!"
It was 3 more hours of walking before the trio arrive at the dessert, they were in the forest half and Naruto could see the sand mixing with the forest ground.
"Watch me Naruto, look how I transform this Dessert to a forest"
Warrod slammed his staff into the ground and Naruto was amazed as hundreds of giant trees appeared, he was staring at Warrod's back the symbol of the Wizard Saints visible, were they really this powerful? It felt like his current power was only like ants to these people.
"You're so powerful!"
"Did you get how I managed to create a forest Naruto?"
"No I was too focused on the appearing trees, sorry"
"That's okay but pay attention next time, we will be having a stop over to a nearby town"
"Where?"
"It is currently an unnamed town"
"Kurama wake up we'll be having a stopover"
Naruto woke up the sleeping three tailed fox from his shoulders.
"Wake me up when we actually get there brat"
"I would but my shoulders are already stiff, cut off some meat will ya?"
Kurama's answer was to flick Naruto's head with his tail, but he jumped down and enlarged himself from a fox kit to a fox as big as a pony. Which was the same form he had when he visited the unnamed town which the trio were shocked when they found out that it was named Kitsune town in honor to the fox who graciously let them off the hook.
When the people saw the duo with the fox they started bowing down yelling "Kitsune-sama, spare us!" and "Here Sake!"
As they arrived at the center of the town with Kurama smiling, his smile widened when he saw the statue. A 6 foot three tailed form of Kurama.
"Wow your ego must be stoked Kurama"
"Tch! You must only be jealous you don't have a village named after you! But I the great Kurama have"
"Yeah after you almost wrecked their town in a fit because they ran out of booze"
Kurama had the decency to be ashamed at what Naruto said
"But I do not regret one thing, I regret none!"
Naruto just shook his head while Warrod was laughing, Warrod scratched Kurama's head and Kurama was instantly calmed, maybe it was the effects of Nature Magic? He was not sure but Kurama sure did like it.
FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN
"For Warrod-sama and the fox called Kurama-sama your stay here will be free anything is free" The Mayor of the town explained
"You sure?" Naruto asks
"Yes as long as Kurama-sama is ever the merciful"
"I will be if you give me booze!"
And faster than lightning did a bottle of booze appear in front of him
"Th-there y-you go, Ku-Kurama-sama!"
"You know I like you humans"
And so the trio slept in the renamed town called Kurama town, famous for its statue of the "Merciful Fox" and its alcohol, though the latter was only renowned after the Kurama-angry-destroy-mercy thing.
FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN
"Then I told this man, you dare mess with the Great Merciful Fox Kurama? Then he started grovelling in front of me" The fox was currently telling this story
"I know Kurama you already told that story for the fifteenth time" Well for the fifteenth time as Naruto said.
Then the blond walked to where Warrod was, "Neh Gramps! Where will we be going next?"
"We will be going to a temple somewhere in a forest near Tully Village" the old man replied for the first time seriously
"Why?"
"I will explain to you many things, but for the moment lets go now so we can arrive there by tomorrow"
"Why don't we just take the train?"
"Walking through Nature is the best kind of travel you can ever have, and it's free!"
Naruto was seriously thinking that his grandfather was indeed Bipolar as he went from serious to joking instantly.
But Naruto looked at the rising sun, the sign of light in the never ending darkness, this gave him hope that things are just beginning and it's for the best.
FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN
Well he was doubting what he thought of that morning as he tripped on a root for the tenth time
"Why nature why? I thought we were buddies!"
Unknown to him Warrod was pranking his grandson and was controlling roots of trees to trip him. And boy was Naruto angry when he finally learned that Warrod was controlling the roots, he attacked his grandfather but failed to do so as a pillar of wood appeared.
It was now nearing evening so the fourth God of Ishgar decided it was time to stop and rest, so Naruto built a shelter made out of sticks and leaves of palm forgetting that he can use Earth manipulation to build one and the man next to him is literally a walking wood factory.
By the time he realized it Warrod and Kurama were inside the house the former erected.
"Neh, Gramps, why did the trees back in the clearing me and my Dad used to train grew up?"
"You probably released Gaea's Blessing back then and not entirely using Green Magic, further more your style of Green Magic, cannot be called as Green magic, with the Blessing of Gaea the result of it mixing is currently unknown, seeing as you will be using Gaea's power for Green Magic and not your normal"
"Still it doesn't explain why I can't summon trees"
"You have to find that out on your own, if I always helped you then you will grow weak"
"It doesn't make it easier gramps"
Warrod just nodded sagely.
FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN-FTXN
"Here is the temple Naruto"
Naruto looked at the temple and noticed it was familiar, eerily too much familiar, opening the door he looked inside and cannot help it but a tear fell from his eyes, this temple probably must have been one of his Dad's from the carvings alone.
"Why are we here?" Naruto asked
Kurama was silent, the fox looked like he knew what was happening but he didn't talk.
"You don't wonder why I took you instantly instead of leaving you in the forest back then." Warrod broke the silence.
"No, I thought that you have noticed of Gaea's blessing that's why you took me"
"That is a part of it but not the whole truth, before your father, Raijin died, he visited me"
FLASHBACK-
NOVEMBER 5 x770
"Warrod Sequen, the Fourth God of Ishgar or the fourth strongest person in fiore" A voice awakened the said person from sleep
"Who are you?" Warrod asked tensing
"Do not worry my friend, I am not here to hurt you but to ask for your help instead"
"You still haven't answered my question"
"Oh right I didn't" The unknown man said, while Warrod had a sweatdrop
"I am Raijin, the God of Storms and I want you to look after my son Naruto"
Warrod was shocked at his revelation, in his mind he should doubt this man, but the Aura and Strength of the man- no God before him exceeded his and the whole Wizard Saints power combined, by a large margin, no a huge huge margin, even infinitely if he said so, what good can a mortal named God stand against a real one?
The tree man kneeled "I am by your command Lord Raijin"
"None of that my friend, just call me Raijin, as you see I am fading, I am weakening. I want you to look after my son Naruto and train him in Nature Magic"
"I will do the best that I can Raijin you have my word"
"Thank you that is all I ask for, treat him as if he is your grandchild Warrod, care for him when I am gone, and bring him to my temple in the forest near Tully Village"
"I will" He replied then the God vanished in a crack of thunder
FLASHBACK END-
"You mean he entrusted you to me? Tch that Raijin, how about that fight back then?"
"I set that up, the village isn't entirely true, it only existed once Raijin told me he was close to fading, so I set that small village up, and the people there were only wood mannequins, who do you think tipped the thieves back then that there was a treasure?"
"So all of this was a plan?"
"Yes a plan by Raijin to help you"
"I was already aware of this plan, Raijin informed me of it and I met with Warrod on a task given by your father back then"
"I currently have a headache the size of Kurama's ego"
"HEY!"
But Warrod and Naruto laughed while Kurama pouts
"There is a something waiting for you inside, Raijin told me that only you can enter" Warrod stated while holding Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto looked at his two companions and seeing their smiles, well Warrod's smile and Kurama's glare enlightened him
"Well best of luck to myself"
He then went inside the temple and he looked one final time seeing his family sitting on the steps before the temple, mustering his courage he stepped forward and was scared as the door suddenly closed.
Let him face a dragon or a beast but not Ghosts, he is terribly scared of one, add to the fact that it was dark inside there were no lights it was Naruto's nightmare. Knowing for sure that all of Raijin's temple has some kind of lighting system he just can't find the switch.
He look around and saw his reflection, he jumped startled but then remembered how to open the lights smiling he raised his right hand then BOOM as a live lightning hit the house only then the lighting opened.
As he noticed more details as the light was opened he saw a room, he opened it then was shocked at what he saw, clothes hundred of them different styles, he looked at his outfit, it was worn out, he only had three pairs of it so he didn't doubt that, maybe a change of clothes was what he needed.
Looking around the huge walk in closet he found a similar coat to his, white with flame patterns at the bottom, only this one had fur around the edges, grabbing it and trying it on, he liked it then folded it then found many more pieces of same coat he got 5 more coats, as he looked down he saw a note it read:
This coat is God slaying Magic safe, so you won't have to worry about ruining it when training.
Love, Raijin
Clutching the note in his hands, a few set of tears appeared but he wiped them off then continued to walk around to find some clothes. Stopping in a section he saw a tight fitting long sleeve shirt which was combat made and a green flak jacket with it, trying it on he saw that it was awesome then he put on the coat and bam insta coolness!
Then he looked at the side and saw pants made out of the same ind of material as the shirt so he tried on those too, and it fit, it just needs some bandages around the edges which conveniently was at the table at his back which housed the mirror he looked into previously.
"Wow I look awesome!"
He noticed that his shirt still has more cloth so he pulled that up then bam a mask which made him look even cooler.
He then grabbed the bandages and continued to wrap around his legs, tied it up then he was done all he needed now is a sandal, so he walked to the front section where he was previously and saw stacks of shoes, and sandals.
Grabbing a blue one he fitted it on and liked it, he took two more pairs so there was an extra in case of it was destroyed, he was about to leave when a light caught his eye, walking to where he saw it, he saw about a hundred of headbands, but these headbands had metal in the middle signifying different symbols, maybe these were the ones the Ninjas Kurama talked about wore.
So he quickly grabbed one with a leaf symbol, then walked by a jacket and a jogging pants, he liked it so he grabbed it for casual wear. Gathering all the clothes that he picked, he grabbed a scroll from his pocket dimension and sealed the clothes into the scroll, a pocket dimension within a pocket dimension.
He exited the walk in closet and was about to go to the door when he saw a table, he walked to it then opened it, a bright light then he found himself in some kind of place where there were only clouds.
"Where am I?"
"You are at a special place son" A voice appeared through the clouds
"Father?"
"I am only a part of Raijin, when the original faded his power went to a book but the elemental ones are separated, I am the Wind Part of Raijin, after this conversation I will be sucked into you, the Water part is in Tenroujima Island and there he will tell you about where the Lightning is"
"How are you alive?"
"I am not alive I am more of a manifestation of his power and his memories, beware the others has some kind of monster guarding it, be well and remember the Katana I gave you?"
"Yes, why?"
"Train in using it, that will be useful to you, you can channel your magic through it, our time is up, go and become strong, once you have completed us three that tattoo by your right arm will be completed"
Naruto looked at said arm and saw a Kanji for wind in his right biceps.
"Thank you Dad, even if you are just a fragment of him, I will do my best!" Naruto brought out his thumb and flashed his teeth
The Wind Part of Raijin nodded then once again he was enveloped in a white flash then he was back in the temple this time he was on his butt.
'Don't worry Dad, I will make you proud this I promise to you!' He shed a tear then smiled and walked to the entrance of the temple
Opening the doors he saw Kurama and Warrod and their looks of surprise.
"Why are you back so fast, did you forget something?" Warrod asked confused
"What do you mean fast, I was there for an hour or more" Naruto replied crunching his eyebrows
But Kurama was shocked not because of the time thing but because of his looks, he looked like the Fourth Hokage, a man he respected, willing to sacrifice himself for others a true legacy of his father's teachings.
"Nice outfit by the way brat, about the time, Raijin forgot to mention to you that the time inside will be faster than outside"
The Grandchild and his counterpart nodded sagely.
"Neh, Gramps, do you know where Tenroujima Island is?"
"Tenroujima Island huh?" Warrod looked like he was reminiscing about something
"That is where the Guild Fairy Tail was born, why have you asked?"
Naruto explained what happened inside and to say the fox and Wizard saint was shock is an understatement, they thought that the book back then was the only book.
"I guess our trip to Tenroujima Island will be a few months early"
"Wait so going there is in the plan"
"Yes that is in the plan" Warrod nodded
"But that is a lie" he followed
Naruto face faulted
"Don't kid me Gramps!"
Warrod's only response was to laugh.
"Would you mind if I train a bit gramps?"
"Certainly not Naruto!"
"Thank you, I'll be training with my celestial spirits, when are we gonna go to Tenroujima Island?"
"We will go to my house in Magnolia first and I'll inform the council before leaving"
"Yosh! Call me when we are about to leave Gramps I'll be in that part" Warrod unknown to Naruto followed him to see the training
Arriving at the spot he breathed deeply then summoned the spirit he wanted to train with first.
"GATE OF THE GOLDEN BULL TAURUS OPEN THEE!"
"Mooo! Naruto-dono!"
"Let's practice some battle formations Taurus!"
"Mooo! Of course!"
Warrod watched as the duo trained, going into several formations and going through different scenarios, one where Naruto will be in melee range back to back with Taurus and one where Naruto supports Taurus' aggressive attacks with damaging long range spells.
Naruto for an 8 year old is tall, 4'8" already and growing with muscles underneath the clothes, marks his body better than that of most of teenagers.
Warrod watched intently as Naruto asks Taurus something
"Taurus, can you help me with my sword skills?"
"Moo! I am a master of melee weapons, but I am best with the axe, but don't worry I can help you show me your sword!"
Naruto exquipped his katana which he gave to Taurus who examined it with a sharp eye
"Mooo! This is a wonderful sword, metal is best quality like the sword of the Celestial King!"
"Wow!"
"Wow indeed, but also consider to train your hand to hand fighting skills, but sadly I am not fit for that style though a certain spirit is, but he is currently under the ownership of a lady with a nice body! Moo!" Taurus explained and at the latter part hearts appeared on his eyes
"We must continue our lessons next time Naruto-dono my time is up!"
"Goodbye Taurus!" then he too sent back his Katana to his pocket dimension.
Warrod feeling this is the best time yelled "Naruto! Time to leave!"
Naruto ran to where they were and Warrod being Warrod melted into the tree then appeared out of a tree nearby the temple.
"We will ride the flower once again to my house in the Mountains of Magnolia, we will just grab something there then we'll go to Tenroujima"
"Yosh! Tenroujima here we go!"
"Shut up brat I'm sleeping!" Kurama yelled
"Then stop being lazy!"
The duo stopped arguing once the flower they rode on moved.
And now our Hero gains a few more strength, the question is will that be enough for the enemies waiting for him?
