Hey Everybody thanks for reviewing, liking and following. Just wanted to let you guys know that with the last chapter about Neji wanting to press charges, it was my way of seeing your reactions which some of them made me laugh. Some of you still saying why is Ino getting all super close to Naruto, well one she is in her fangirl stage and 2 how i perceive her is different. To me she was a fangirl and seemed the type to fawn over any "cool" guy so this isn't permanent it's gonna be my way of breaking her fangirling along with Hinata's towards Naruto's. There have been some annoying reviews like "Oh you're not announcing the pairings I'm not gonna read it!" Shut up this aint HighSchool DxD. This is a Naruto/Fairytail crossover.

Chapter 4: The Breakthrough
It's been one month since the little exhibition tournament. Naruto has made a lot of progress with his training. He finally mastered all the chakra control exercises for wind and water. For his water control exercises he had to hold a glass of water and had to use his chakra to keep the water still. After that he had to practice holding water in his hand and had to have it keep a form. He thought having it like if he was holding the glass cup was easier, but it was much harder considering he had to maintain a shape on all side without it waving around. He only had one problem, he could not perform the Hyoton. He did not know why he just couldn't do it as if something was blocking him, but what was it? He couldn't do any Yin or Yang exercises because there was none in existence. It was rare for someone to have an affinity for Yin or Yang let alone both and anyone who did could not have theres shown through the chakra paper. So it was up to Naruto to figure out his own. Luckily the Hokage gave him one hint that whether it was useful was up to him. Yin chakra relates to one's spiritual energy while Yang relates to one's physical energy. The only method that can help him with his chakra control for those two was meditation. For that whole month he partook in meditation and after getting a hang of it he had his clones meditate too. By splitting up his chakra it gave him a better chance of sensing the Yin or Yang chakra, but something happened that neither him or the Sandaime expected, the markings on his right arm began to spread towards his shoulder once he made contact with his Yin chakra.
After meditating that whole month the marking seemed to reach past his shoulder making it halfway up his neck and half of his right chest. They still didn't know what this black marking was, but one things for sure he is started to slowly give in to his hatred. Thinking about Haku wasn't helping him either especially now that he has made a breakthrough with his fuinjutsu. So here he was practicing his Fuinjutsu and voila he finally learned how to change the terrain with his seals. He made so much progress on his Fuinjutsu that many of the shinobi in his village look to him for help, which he would do, but not for free of course. With a ranking between novice and master he is now adept. He learned to do many things from basic storage sealing to blood seals to gravity seals. If he were to reach an expert level he would be able to seal even Bijuu's away at a decent level, but only into items not people. With his Fuinjutsu he put some new seals on his clothes, they were temperature seals that allow him to increase or decrease the warmth of clothing. He was thinking of putting some on his teammates.
Speaking of his team Sakura began to improve with her medical ninjutsu and chakra control. After her fight with Tenten she made it a habit to practice with chakra strings to the point that she could channel her medical ninjutsus through it giving minimal heals towards her target. She has also been getting interested with wanting to become a summoner. Konoha has numerous summoners, but most are them are clan summons such as the Aburame's insects, the Hatake's hounds, the Inuzuka's wolves, the Nara's deers, the Sarutobi's monkeys, and the Uchiha's crows. The only non-clan summons were the slugs, toads, and snakes, but the only snake users were Mitarashi Anko and the nuke-nin Orochimaru of the sannin. Though hearing this Sakura didn't give up on searching for a summon. Sakura is still in love with Sasuke, but she is no longer to be blinded by said love and still sneaks peeks at other guys that catch her interest. All in all she is on the road to becoming a dignified and respectable kunoichi.
Kakashi has been training everyone to the bone. No longer was he being fully lax, he now has three clones one for each student while he improved himself. Every chance he got he would challenge either Gai, Asuma, Kurenai, Anko, Yugao, Hayate and any other shinobi above Jonin. He still read his precious Icha Icha books, but only when he is talking or has free time. He still looks at the memorial stone, but he wouldn't let his grief take a hold of him. He now uses his sharingan much more often to the point that he has now gotten used to the downsides of the mangekyou. He also made sure to have his students increase their chakra, endurance, and strength training into overdrive. Sasuke was now about mid chunin to high jonin who now has three tomoes in both of his sharingan. Naruto was now high chunin to low jonin, with his reserves giving him the advantage especially with all those chakra control exercises. Sakura improved the most from a low genin to a low chunin, her endurance and stamina increased to the point that she could give newly appointed chunins a hard time. Sakuras chakra reserves even went higher than expected.
Sasuke was a case Naruto had some hard time dealing with. Whenever he would see the blonde he would often challenging him to spars to determine who was stronger or better, but even though no matter who would win they would point each other's faults. Sasuke learned many fire and lightning jutsus from Kakashi, including his infamous Chidori. He would often pester Naruto about why he liked Itachi and why he defended him only to be ignored. Sasuke was not only training in his sharingan, ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, but in politics with his mother's help of course. It was a must since he was the clan heir that would soon take over when the time came. He decided it was about time he accepted the help of his mother and began fighting like her and almost like Itachi. She also taught him how to use a tanto like Shisui if Sasuke didn't want to fight like his brother. The Uchiha heir also started learning about Naruto's parentage from his mother who was best friends with said blondes mother.
Speaking of his mother she would often try to give Naruto nonstop love, love that only a mother could give. Even though Naruto often told Mikoto off about that he slowly gotten used to it, he learned so much about his parents from her because she was always with Kushina on a daily business. She was not only her best friend, but her teammate, bridesmaid, and the godmother of her child. So much for the last one though. Even though she came late to her part as a godmother she refused to step down. She took it upon herself to teach Naruto the way of not just the sword, but numerous weapons. After all it was an Uchiha's specialty to master numerous weapons so why couldn't she and seeing Naruto was as much a part of her family like his mother there would be no problem. Seeing as how she is the clan head she has every say in the matter.
Naruto could remember the first time he went over to get to know his godmother. It was three days after he met her.
Flashback
It's been three days since he was introduced with his godmother. Surely most people would go straight to meeting their godmother to get to know them and their family, but most people weren't him. He was disgusted with the fact that his mother chose her to be his guardian if anything were to happen. All the suffering he was a victim of because he had no one watching over him. He had to learn many things on his own such as how to read, cook, speak, spend, and clean. He had to learn that all on his own with no one's help, but the Hokage and the Ichiraku's when they could of course.
What should he do, should he really visit he or should he go back on his word. Sighing to himself Naruto finished showering. Looking at his choice of clothing Naruto once more sighed to himself, seeing that his choices are limited. Naruto picked out black sweatpants, an orange tank top, and blue shinobi sandals. He also made sure to put new tape around his arm.
Uchiha Compound
Making it to the Uchiha compound he was about to pass by two guards until said guards stopped him.
"Halt, what is your business demo-" was all one guard said before a kunai was at his neck.
"Finish your sentence if you dare, the Sandaime's law allows me to execute you for breaking an S-class law. Further shame your clan." Naruto stated with a bored look.
"Enough! He won't speak out of line again, but answer the question what is your business hear." the second guard stated.
'So fast! I barely even caught sight of him.'
Nodding his head Naruto lowered his kunai and took a couple of steps back. "Finally someone using their brain. Yes, I was invited by my godmother Mikoto she said she will notify the guards of my visit."
Before the second guard could speak the first one cut him off. "Mikoto-sama is very busy unless you have proof of her stating this you may not pass."
"He is right, unfortunately we have not heard of this. We have just started this shift and received no word of it." the second guard stated.
Sighing to himself and muttering 'troublesome' Naruto gave them a slight bow. "Alright, well I tried, do you think you could let her know that I came by?"
Nodding his head in agreement the guard bid Naruto farewell. Seeing the blonde out of sight the second guard turned his head to the first.
"You almost lost your head there."
"Whatever! Are you really going to tell Mikoto-sama about the demon."
"Fuck no. Fuck that demon."
Before they could continue a woman with long brown hair wearing the tradition Uchiha style shirt with the clan symbol on the back appeared behind them. "So what is this about denying Mikoto-sama's godson entry into the compound? The fact that you still broke the law, I will report this to the clan head."
"H-hai!" both guards said in fear.
The brunette went after the blonde shinobi leaving the two guards to wallow in fear.
With Naruto
Seeing as the guards didn't let him in he decided to head to Ichiraku's unaware of a brunette Uchiha following him. Making it into Ichiraku Naruto called out towards the two people he could call family.
"Yo, Ayame-chan! Teuchi-jiji! Six bowls of Miso ramen!"
"Naruto my boy how have you been? It's been a long time!" Teuchi said with a cheerful smile.
"Naruto-kun! How long have you been back to the village we missed you!" Ayame stated in joy.
Smiling to his two precious people he told them the events of what happened. The looks of horror and sadness filled their faces upon hearing Naruto's tale. Ayame gave him a comforting hug and a kiss on the cheek to cheer him up. Teuchi was about to offer Naruto free ramen for today until a brunette came in.
"A bowl of pork ramen please! I'll also be covering for his meal too!" the brunette said.
Nodding his head Teuchi went to make the orders thinking how he will still get to save money thanks to the girl.
"Thanks for paying, but you don't have to." Naruto stated without looking at her.
"It's been a while Naruto-kun." the woman smiled.
Turning his head to look at her Naruto's eyes widened as he pointed a finger at her. "You're that stalker chick that was stalking Itachi-nii that one time!"
"Who the hell are you calling a stalker!" she exclaimed bopping Naruto on the head.
"And the name is Izumi of the Uchiha clan. I met you the day after the massacre, I was the one consoling you when Itachi left. I wouldn't blame you if you forgot after all most of the time you were looking at the ground crying your heart out." the woman now known as Izumi stated with a small smile.
"I...didn't forget you." Naruto said embarrassedly looking the other way.
Izumi sweatdropped at Naruto's lie, she knew how Naruto would lie when he was embarrassed. "Ya know you're not a good liar when you're embarrass."
Turning his head to look at her Naruto gave a smile as he scratched his head awkwardly. "Hehe...sorry I did forget."
"So why are you here."
Izumi began to explain how she overheard the guards and him talking about passing through. She told him how Mikoto told every clan member that does guard duty to let him pass and seeing how they didn't let him through, she took it upon herself to bring him back. After eating their ramen that Izumi so happily paid she escorted Naruto to the clan compound. Seeing the only arm that's bandaged she decided to pop the question.
"Hey Naruto-kun, how come your arm is bandaged up?"
Not sure what to tell her, he said the first thing that popped into his head. "Burned myself."
Realizing the crappy lie she figured it was personal and decided to drop it. Passing by the guards Izumi gave them a quick glare with her sharingan active. The guards both stumbled to move out of the way. Passing by a couple of Uchiha's Naruto recognized the looks of hatred from many clan members, but was also curious by some smiles and looks of neutrality. Naruto was broken out of his thoughts by the sound of Izumi's knocking.
"Mikoto-sama it's Izumi! I have a present that you will love!"
'Did she just call me a present?' Naruto thought questionly.
Opening up the door Mikoto greeted Izumi. Looking to the left she saw her godson staring at her. Her eyes widened as a large smile graced her face and on impulse she smothered Naruto in a hug of excitement.
Naruto's face changed to a shade of red in seeing his predicament. Mikoto was wearing a tank top with no bra underneath with dark blue pajama pants, indicating she woke up not too long ago. The biggest problem of them all he was suffocating between her large breasts.
Seeing Naruto's predicament Izumi decided to let it play a bit more until she saw Naruto's face turn purple. "Ah! Mikoto-sama he can't breathe!"
"Eek! Naruto-kun I'm so sorry!"
Flashback end
Looking back on it that was some of the nicest pairs of breast he ever felt. After that day he almost made it a habit to visit her and Izumi. Turns out after Izumi's mother's death she moved in with Mikoto and Sasuke. Now that he finally made a breakthrough it was time to implement this all over outside the compound. Getting up, Naruto and four clones went outside. Sending his clones to four different directions Naruto took off his shirt. He had one clone go to the North of the compound, the second to the south of the compound, and the last two to the east and west. Once they placed the seal it should change the weather around the surrounding area and start to snow. A sudden chill crept up Naruto's body and the sudden memories from his clones dispersing. 'Ahh, it seems the seal was a success, maybe now I'll be able to understand something that I'm missing about the Hyoton. The only thing I can do is probably meditate in the snow and maybe find some harmony within it.'
The snow was cold, but not as cold as it should be. Maybe he should have waited for it to snow more so that way the surrounding area could be cold enough. As the little snowflakes touched his body, Naruto looked up to the sky with tears lingering down his face. He began to reminisce his time with Haku. 'I miss you Haku-chan'
FlashBack
Naruto had spent all night training his chakra control so he can get the upperhand on Sasuke, but with all that training his body collapsed to exhaustion causing him to knock out for the night outside. The young blonde was suddenly woken up by a hand that softly grazed against his whisker marks. Opening his eyes, blue met a beautiful dark-brown. 'Beautiful' was all that he could mutter causing the woman to blush in embarrassment. Looking at the owner of said eyes, Naruto couldn't contain a blush. The person in front of him was beyond beautiful, prettier than Sakura, prettier than anyone else he ever met in the village. Actually those are both understatements, she was an angel compared to them. She had pale skin that complemented her long black hair and Dark-brown eyes. She also had a nice slender frame. He was suddenly brought out of his musings when she spoke up.
"S-Sorry about that, I saw you sleeping and was going to wake you, but then I saw your whisker marks. I was wondering if those are real, so i went to feel them." the angel like woman said shyly.
'Even her voice is like that of an angel.'
"I-It's okay, I don't mind especially if it from someone beautiful like you." Noticing what he said Naruto turned redder than a tomato.
The woman developed an equally shade of red upon hearing those words. 'Beautiful...he said that again. He is more sincere than compared to most men.'
A small smile graced the young woman's lips as she looked away shyly. "T-Thank you. My name is Haku…..what's your's?"
Seeing that he wasn't going to get scolded or hit like a certain pink-haired teammate would of done he gave her one his genuine smiles. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am going to be the next Hokage!"
Seeing that smile warmed her heart and made her feel something she never felt. 'What could this be.'
"So what brings you out here Haku-chan?" Naruto questioned.
She was broken out of her thoughts and gave him a small smile.'Haku-chan…..that's a first…..' "I am out here picking some herbs that can be used as medicine for a friend of mine. You see he got hurt and I am trying to get him back to full strength."
"Wow that's cool! I mean not cool about what happened to your friend, but cool that you are picking herbs for them and that you know what herbs are the right ones. Do you think you can teach me real quick which herbs are good for healing?" he explained.
Thinking about it for a moment she was conflicted. On one hand she can trick him into getting some poisonous herbs and weakening his team, but on the other hand he would probably noticed the different ones she grabbed and mixing the poisonous ones with the natural healing ones would cause the poison to spread. Before she could finish thinking she was brought out of her thought once again by Naruto.
"Nevermind, sorry I don't want to keep your friend waiting in getting his medicine. Just forget that I ask." Naruto smiled, but not one of his more genuine.
Haku saw his smile and a small frown appeared on her face. 'This smile isn't the same….I want to see that one before.'
"Oh don't worry about that Naruto-kun I was just thinking about something. Sure I can teach you, my friend will be okay if I stay out a bit longer he took his medicine recently. But before that can I ask you a question." Haku stated with a smile gracing her lips one more time.
"Huh? Sure anything Haku-chan." his bright smile once again causing her heart to flutter.
"Do you have anyone precious to you."
Naruto was caught back by that question taking a moment to think about it. 'Well Hokage-jiji would look out for me, but I always felt that he's keeping something from me. Iruka-sensei didn't acknowledge me until recently and he did save me, but saving me out of duty and love is two different things. The Ichiraku…..I just give good business….Do I have anyone precious to me?'
A small sad smile graced his face as he looked down. Tears appeared on his face upon realization that he doesn't truly have a precious person. "N-no I don't think I do. I've been alone all my life. I know some people, but they mostly deal with me either through business.
'He's just like me, back then….' Haku thought.
She reached out towards Naruto's face as she cupped his cheeks with both hands. Naruto lifted his face looking at her dark-brown eyes, they kind of held the same feeling as him….loneliness, but at the same time they felt different. "If you don't have anyone precious to you then I'll be your precious person Naruto-kun. Let's be friends!"
Naruto's eyes widened in shock, here was someone wanting to be friends with him. HIM the one everyone would call idiot, brat, loser, and most of all DEMON. Tears continued to fall down his face as he lunged towards Haku, hugging her with all that he could.
Haku slightly jumped at the lunge, but calmed down after her new friend wanted a hug. She slowly wrapped her hands around his waist as a few tears of her own slowly graced her face, not that Naruto could see. Smiling she also let a few other words out that would inspire Naruto. "You can only get stronger when you have someone precious to protect Naruto-kun."
The words ranged hard into Naruto's ears while unknowingly these words would forever be engraved into his heart and would make him a better person. Gripping Haku tighter Naruto spoke with conviction. "Then I will protect you with all my life Haku-chan or die trying."
Her eyes widened hearing him say that, she began to feel warmth in hearing those words. "Hai Naruto-kun."
After a few more minutes of hugging they broke the hug and began talking about each other and the different types of herbs for not just medical uses, but poisonous uses too. What felt like days and years was only a couple of hours the two said their goodbyes while agreeing to meet at the same spot everyday at the same time.
"By the way Naruto-kun I'm a boy." Haku said with a smile.
Naruto's eyes widened before letting out a chuckle. "You can't fool me Haku-chan, no boy can look like an angel."
Seeing a smile and a blush graced her face as she turned around Naruto began to feel something in his chest, a sense of calming. Naruto began to hear his teammates call out to him, he headed towards the sound of their voice. Before leaving the clearing he turned around to see if Haku was there only to see was gone. Smiling to himself he looked at the herbs he gathered and headed off towards his team.
Haku however was standing behind a tree as she gripped her chest. "An angel huh? That's the first someone ever called me that…...Naruto-kun."
Flashback end
Naruto blinked in confusion as he looked around the area. How did it snow so fast? Lifting his arm he looked at his watch he noticed an hour passed. Standing up he started to sneeze. "I should have known better than to take my shirt off. Wait a minute where is my shirt?"
Naruto scanned the area before hanging his head in defeat. He just lost his favorite shirt in a pile of snow. He wasn't going to cancel the jutsu seal so he can get his shirt, all the snow would melt and evaporate. Sighing to himself he summoned a clone and have it take his pants and underwear inside. "The only way I am going to understand this faster is if my whole body feels the snow."
Little did he know that a lot of female bystanders passing by blushed at seeing the nude blonde. Some even began to get a nosebleed, but none of them had a greater reaction than a certain Yamanaka heiress who was knocked out at seeing him and two teammates trying to take her back home.
After a couple of hours he still couldn't conjure up the Hyoton. He began wondering what he was missing. water and wind can complement each other so what was he doing wrong. He began to think back on his affinities.
"Alright I got water, wind, light, and dark, but ice showed up as well. Yet the ice didn't appear until after the light and dark. So what if I have Wind and Dark on my right while having Water and Light on my left." Naruto said aloud.
Naruto decided to test his theory out. Forgetting that he could have a clone do it despite knowing that there could be numerous dangerous outcomes, Naruto still went for it. Concentrating he closed his eyes he began to feel the wind and water on his hands. The first step was done now it was time for the second step. He started channeling the light and dark, but as soon as he channeled his dark chakra he began to feel the markings spread and the anger take a hold of him. 'NO! I can't let my hatred get the better of me! What can I do to stop it!?'
He tried to muster the will to channel his light through his left, but what could he do the only good thing that happened to him was Haku and she was gone! Haku that's it! He will think about all the lovely and best times they had together within those three months. The light chakra began to push back the dark markings causing it to recede back down to only just his arm. Step two was done! Now for step three!
Bringing both hands together he thought about everything he went through in life. The negativity and the positivity he received. With a smile he opened his eyes and there in his hands was a small beautiful ice figurine of Haku and him holding hands, but what was curious was that the Haku figurine was a bright blue from head to toe until it reached his figurines hands. His figurine was a bright purple from head to toe. He gave a small smile towards the sky.
"It seems you will always be the light and I will always be the dark, huh Haku-chan."
Chapter 4 End!
Follow, Favorite, and Review. At first I was going to do the land of snow mission and make it into three or four chapters, but I got sick which kept me a week late and especially with working the whole week. I am still kind of sick, but I'll get back on it as soon as I can before I start school in two weeks.
First I decided to put a flashback of Haku cause I know some people wanted to know how they got together or met, so in the same way it's like the canon, but still with my own twist in it. There will be more flashbacks later.
Secondly I put Izumi Uchiha in there to spice things up, yes she survives the massacre and lives with Mikoto, her role is to kind of be there for Sasuke and also trying to capture Itachi. Naruto only met her one time, but she looked out for him after the massacre.
Thirdly the Ice devil slayer Isn't magic it is purely chakra based, but is equal to Mokuton which could who knows maybe restrain Bijuu maybe even kill them. I also wanted Naruto to be naked to understand the cold kind of like how gray got used to his ice make under Ur. He hasn't mastered it in this chapter seeing as he just figured out what he needed to do. If some of you has guessed it by the figurine then yes! The markings respond to the Yin chakra, Naruto will figure out on his own how to get around this and try to figure out how to not need to combine four elements.
Lastly if you have noticed compared to Haku, Naruto does not really have the Hyoton. Kind of like the Land of Snow Shinobis in the movie that have to use the snow around them. That doesn't mean it won't be a bloodline later on.
P.S still looking for a beta.
