Chapter 12: Training Trip and Golden Fire:
Demon Member and Dragon Meet Star
Week after Natsu's depart
The clan reaches to a high level of magic that Naruto ask Markorov if they can go on a training trip. He approved if they take jobs in the area they are heading. Right now, Naruto is facing the top member of Quatro Cerberus, Bacchus, and is badly hurt
. Naruto: "For a drunken man, you really hard to hard." 'It's a good thing I go alone, or they never bring it down.' Bacchus: "I barely took a drop, it seem that you have one tough soul." Naruto: "If you going through a children hood I have, then you know that true strength is in the bonds you make. Now you better go full out if you want to win." Bacchus: "Wise, yet fearless. Your soul is wild!" "Four!" was echoed from the town, which Naruto sweat dropped. Bacchus drank the sake he carrying before hitting Naruto everywhere, he stop when he notice that his palms is in pain and saw burning splitters all over his hands. Naruto: "I fought someone who use a similar style and lose, but that got me thinking. How do you hit something that can't be touch? By being cover in a rough-hard layer. My Wood Dragon: Scale isn't the strongest, but the splitters give it a nice effect. And heat help too." He is cover in wood and smoke is showing between scales. Bacchus: "Let see if your body can hold out." Bacchus kept attacking Naruto while he is in a defense stance. Soon Bacchus stops and faces Naruto before falling down. "Your soul is definitely WILD!" "FOUR!" Naruto sweat dropped before throwing a scroll to his opponent. "If you want to get strong, learn what inside the scroll. And you can join my clan if you what to, there no need to leave your guild thought." And he went to his campsite limping

"Naruto, why are you…NARUTO WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU?" Hinata rush to him and start healing his wounds. The others wonder what happen and ask. Naruto: "Drunk… splitters…. pain…." Sweat dropped.
"Any who, Hinata and I will be heading to the next mission by train, you guys don't mind walking to the next site, right?" They saw the mountain in their path before saying they don't if they can take a break at the end. "Great, see you in a week."

"Why did you do that Hina-chan?" Naruto was green and sick. "Because you went and fight alone, just be lucky that you found a new member for our clan, thought he have to stay with his guild." "He tough to defeat, but needed to be stronger for joining in." "Whatever, let's just finish this so we …can…take…a dip…in the… hot springs." With that, Naruto grab Hinata in her cat form and stuff her in his kimono shirt and run to the village. The job was to get rid of a demon but they notice that it rarely attack unless needed, so they head to the river out the village to see why.

Sayla was gathering water and fishes to take to her small home until someone appear behind her. Sayla: "Please don't hurt me." "Why would I want to hurt you?" "Because I'm a monster." "My girlfriend is a cat yet I treat her nicely." "Most of the time." "What do you mean?!" Sayla sweat dropped on the couple argument that she wasn't afraid any more. "What are you looking for me?" "Well the villagers want you to left..." she sighs. "...But we will train you if you want to." She was shock. "That village will see what happen when they mean with a young child." Naruto is planning to prank them hard core. "Why would you do that?" "Because you needed someone to help you from loneness, you can join our clan if you want to." "I would like to."
After they got paid them prank the village and run laughing (yes Naruto and Hinata went to the springs. They spend the week training (her suit is cover in books) and Sayla learn the Rasen-shurikin at the last day. "Sayla-nee, there a guild with people like you, but all isn't kind-hearted. You mission is to join them and sent any updates that is important." "I will do this because you are my family; I hope that I won't hurt any family member in the future." "Don't worries, we always have another chance if the reason is good enough." They part ways and the couple was waiting for their clan member. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" "They always mess things up in the end." "But where the fun if everything is perfect."

A day after Natsu's depart
Natsu arrive at the mansion where he has to help a girl learn to fight. He knocks on the door before someone came. "Hello there little boy, how can I help you." "I here for the job." "Are you a little too young to be a mage." "My onii-chan just gave me this job because I am ready, so can I come in?" "Sure."
They enter and walk to the living room. "Master, Missis, a young mage is here for the job!" Natsu soon saw to people coming in the room. "Hello there I'm Layla and this is my husband Judar (I forgot their names)." "I'm Natsu and I'm here for the job!" Judar look all over Natsu and saw that he a well-trained Mage. "You may train our daughter, but if you hurt her in some way, then something bad will happen." "Aye sir!" "Okay then, Lucy!" "I'm coming!" When she enters the room, the two children feel like they saw the perfect partner, until someone point out the craziness. "Why your hair is dyed pink." *tick mark* "First, it salmon, and second, I was born like this Luigi." *tick mark* "It Lucy, pinky." "Oi, do you want to fight!" "Enough!" Judar got between them before a fight broke out. "Lucy, this is Natsu and he here to train you." "mhn, I don't need help from a weirdo like him." "Even if he from Fairy Tail." Lucy suddenly grabs Natsu and run upside yelling. "I take him to his room!" "How do you know him from there?" "He has their mark on his right shoulder, thought I feel that the two will be more that great friends." "Lucy wouldn't date until she's 18!"

"Hey, why are we in your room weirdo." "Say the one with the pink-*Grrr*-I mean salmon hair. I was wondering if you met a boy with red and blonde hair, blue eye, whiskers, and a liger cub." "Oh, you mean Naruto-nii and Hinata-nee." She was shock by this until she remembers about the clan. "So, that makes you an Uzukaze?" "Yeah, how do you know?" She tells him the day she was saved by them and she wanted to join both Fairy Tail and the Uzukaze. "So you have to wait until you're 18 to join, well the suck. So how far are you with the scroll?" "Well I'm at the last the last step and done all of the golden magic." "So you on the Rasen-shuriken." "What do you mean; I'm on the water walking." "Hold on, can I see the scroll." Lucy gave it to Natsu and read it. "It look like his didn't put it in for safety reason." "Can you teach me the missing moves."
