After the Tower Paradise is over, the Fairy Tail group and Simon's group had their way back to the Akane Resort to rest for their wounds. The explosion of Etherion that Erza stuck there is safe by Naruto. She lost her conscious after that part. So, they all rest very well.

"We shouldn't go there…" said Lucy as she's with Natsu and Gray at the room. It's where Naruto sleep or room number.

"Shh… I just saw Erza went in his room and didn't come back last night." whispered Natsu as he tries to picklock the door by using…fire hands to melt it…

"You idiot! You're melting the doorknob!" said Gray as he made him stopped for using fire magic and ruining their plan. He has an idea that's way better than his. He creates an ice key by using ice magic. He slowly entered the door lock, turned it, and unlocked it. The door is opening as slowly as a turtle.

"Alright!" said Natsu before Lucy placed her hand on his mouth for screaming.

"Quiet!"

Gray gave a sighed at them. He slowly opens the door before he's noticing something from behind. "By the way…" He said as he sees Simon's group is with them too except Simon who's not with them. They're here to see Erza. "Why are you guys here?"

"We came to apologize to Erza, but why are you guys here?" asked Sho.

"We sneak…" said Gray

"Like a true ninja." said Natsu as his white scarf is around his head to look like a ninja and hands tiger seals.

After talking like that, Gray plugged the ice key in the door-hole, turned it to unlock, and slowly open the door. His group and Sho's group sneak inside the room together. They're tip-tap slowly, trying not to wake Erza and Naruto until they were surprised at seeing them.

Naruto's left arm is stretched out, but his forearm is up. Erza's sleeping on top of his left bicep with her head, reaching up to his neck. Her arms placed on his chest. They shared the blanket each other by telling their feet outside. They're both sleeping in peaceful.

Gray smirked at Naruto and Erza. "You know… they're a perfect couple." He said.

Lucy and Happy agreed with him. They do look couple. They're so perfect.

"They do." smiled Lucy

Happy flies over around Naruto and Erza while they're sleeping. He put a grin on his face. "They liiike each other!" cried the blue cat, pointing at them.

"Hey, stop yelling! Before, you're waking nee-san up" growled Sho, but it's too late to warn him.

Erza started to wiggle in her sleep as her eyes slowly opened. "Huh…?" She mumbled as she rubbed her eyes, giving a yawn and sat up before stretching her arms out. She feels so much better for sleeping on Naruto's arm because it's warm. Her cheeks have shown of blushed for sleeping with him last night, but she sees Natsu, Gray, and Happy who is flying around her and Naruto. She glared at them. "You guys are so annoy… you woke me up?! You wanna die?!"

Her glared made Natsu, Gray, and Lucy jumps a little bit. It also made Sho and the group scared too.

"M-Morning, E-Erza…"

"We here to see you and Naruto are alright."

"Aye…"

Erza cooled her hot temperature down and didn't want to wake Naruto up. "Is that so?" She asked as everyone nodded as they heard another door opened. Simon came in this room to talk with Naruto and Erza, but he sees Naruto is still sleeping and met other peoples.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Came here to see Erza and Naruto." said Sho.

"And you woke her up. Well then…" said Simon as he carried all of them like a grocery bags, leaving the room, so that Erza and Naruto can have space.

After the group left, Erza looked at sleepy Naruto. Look at his face. He looks cute when he sleeps and dreaming about ramen by mumble. But, she saw him in the future when she died. She saw his pain, despair, and crying for her. But, now she's alive and won't let the future goes sad.

She gently ran her hand through Naruto's hair. His hair is very soft to touch it. She moves toward Naruto's face to get close him and gave a gently kissed on his cheek. After that, she hears his moaning. He opened his azure eyes as he's getting up and released of his yawn. He sees Erza is awake too. But he can't see her very well while the sun is blocking him, but it made him imagine of his mother. He sees a red long hair and wearing normal clothes like a citizen. She is a very pretty mother.

"M-Mother…" He said. He couldn't think his mother is real.

Erza gave a weird look at him when she heard Naruto called her mother. "Mother?" she asked.

In that few second, Naruto's eyes clearly see in his sight. He sees Erza is sitting on the bed and looking at him. Before he made his face in shocked. "Oh! Sorry about that!" He smiled.

¨That´s okay.¨ said Erza as she gave a warmth smile. "Good morning, Naruto. How was your sleep?"

"I felt better as staying in the night." He said as he stretches his arms out. "Oh boy… I was dreaming about eating ramen at your house. A lot…"

Erza giggled for hearing his funny dream. So, she got out of a bed and re-equips her pajama into clothes. "Come on, Natsu and the others are waiting for us."

"Yeah."

"I see. You defeated Jellal." said Simon as everyone is in the living on their chair and couch. Erza explained everything to them. The Tower of Paradise has destroyed. It's has been 8 years since Erza and her old friends were a slave and got treated in horrible, cruel, and evil. But now, in the present, they finally freed from an evil spirit.

"Naruto, fight me when we get back to Fairy Tail!" determined Natsu, making his fist go in flame.

Naruto chuckles at Natsu for getting the fighting spiriting. "Yeah, that's a promise." He said

"By the way, Naruto, how did you find Erza?" asked Sho. It made Simon is interested to see him how he saved Erza during the explosion of Etherion.

"Well… I´m glad you asked." smiled Naruto as he got up that makes everyone is watching him carefully. He clapped his hand, and then his body sudden went into golden as body changed in black. It showed off his jumpsuit with a golden stripe down from his collar through feet. His whiskers have black stripe color. A golden flame coats appeared before he transformed.

It made everyone shocked for seeing Naruto´s transformation. They can feel his very powerful aura is larger than this building or Saint Wizard. He can definitely beat them by one hit.

"A golden..." said Simon, knowing Naruto´s appearance before.

"Guys, allow me to introduce. This is Bijuu mode (Tailed Beast mode)." smiled Naruto.

Natsu started looked at him in awe face expression. He rushed toward him while looking him around. "That is...awesome!" He shouted. "Fight me until we get home!"

"Natsu, he's too OP for you." said Gray

Erza gave a blush at Naruto for seeing him in Bijuu mode along with Lucy. He looks handsome and hot in his form. She can estimate him that he can defeat everyone and become one of Saint Wizard. Or perhaps, he can become guild master.

"So that how you found Erza?" asked Wally.

"Yep!" said Naruto as his Bijuu mode went off.

"Erza…" said Sho as Erza looked at him with his sad expression. "I'm sorry for mistaking you as a traitor."

"Me too…" said Wally as Millianna agrees with him.

"Guys, you don't have to say sorry for me, but I am the one who should say sorry. I couldn't do anything for you in past eight years."

"Erza, it wasn't your fault." said Simon

Naruto agreed with Simon. It wasn't Erza's fault that didn't save her friends in the past. It was Jellal…no… He was possessed by Zeref. However, he realized it wasn't Zeref's spirt. "Simon is right. It wasn't your fault. You did protect the people, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, but…" said Erza, but Naruto stopped her by placing on a lip. Erza remembered old man did a sacrifice for her in the past when she got angry and used her first time using magic.

"No more saying that, Erza. You made a right thing to do this. The reason why did old man save you because you have a strong heart and special person." He said

"Thank you."

"Erza, Naruto, and everyone thank you for saving Erza." said Simon as Naruto and his friends gave their chuckles.

After the chat is over, Simon's group is at the beach for packing the stuff to leave. Erza tries to tell them to stay and join her guild, but they didn't want to. They wanted to explore the world to learn about the life.

"You guys can stay at Fairy Tail." said Naruto

Simon shook his head. "I loved to join, but first, my group and I need to see this world for ourselves. We wanted to learn what kind of country the world is in." He said with a deep and emotional voice before looking at Erza with her sad expression. "Don't worry. We'll be fine."

Erza wipes her tears out as she looked at him. "I'll be fine. I believe you guys will be fine." She said

"We're going to miss you, Erza." Sho said as he went to his group together before Simon has the last word for Naruto.

"Please Naruto; take care of Erza for us. Would you?" He asked

"I will." Naruto said with a smile as he did a fist pump to Simon's fist. "You can count on me-ttabayo."

Simon smiled back to him after fist pump to Naruto. He stepped back along with his group, using his ability to teleport of them to somewhere else. "Goodbye, everyone." His group is waving out their hand as magic rune above and then teleported them. The group is gone and going for a journey.

Next day…

"Your mother?" asked Erza, walking with Naruto and the group in Magnolia Town. They're on their way to Fairy Tail guildhall because they heard the building destroyed is finished. They were excited to see it.

"Yeah, you have a same red hair as my mother." said Naruto, trying to describe her to his mother. "She has a nice long hair and beautiful. She's the best and good heart, but passed away." His face frowns for remembering in his childhood and the part where he met his mother during the fight scene with Kurama.

Erza placed her hand on his shoulder. She felt bad about his past. "I'm sorry…" She said in sad expression, but Naruto shook his head and looked at her.

"Don't worry; I have got used to this before, but thank you for worry about me. Also, your hair is beautiful liked my mother's hair." He gave a warmth smile to her as it made her blushed.

"He lllike you!" whispered Happy, flying next to Erza's right side, and making a giggling.

Erza's cheeks are red as a heat for hearing Naruto said her hair is beautiful. Her feeling is true. She's in love with Naruto. "Th-thank you…" She blushed as she turned around and continues to walk.

"Guys, looked at that!" excited Gray.

"Woah!" Lucy said in amaze as they see their new guild hall has been fixed and new upgrade. The building is very big and tall tower. They can see a big bell on top of a roof.

"This is very surprising." Erza said

"Amazing." Happy said.

"Our new Fairy Tail!" Gray said

"Guys, let's go inside!" Naruto said. He and the others went inside the guild hall. Their faces were amazed for looking at a huge main room. It has a table, new mission board, bars, and pole game. They have everything.

"How beautiful!" Lucy and Happy said

Naruto looked at Natsu. He covered of his mouth with the scarf. His face doesn't seem surprised when they see a new building.

"Natsu, what's wrong?" asked Naruto

"It's different than it was." He replied with a quiet voice.

"Lucy, welcome back!" yelled Levy as she's waving out her hand at Lucy for welcoming her.

"Hi, Levy!" She said in happily.

They all went to Levy and wanting to know what happened to this building.

"Great, huh? In the back of the drinking hall is a pool!" said Levy.

"That's cool!" said Naruto

"It's different…" Natsu sulked.

"There's a game parlor in the basement." Levy said

"Jeez, they got everything." Lucy said

"It's very different..." Natsu sulked again.

"You've returned, you a bunch of fools." Makarov said, walking from behind Naruto and the group as they turned around.

"Master!" surprised Erza

Before surprising that, Naruto and the others see Juvia is wearing new dresses. They were surprised to see Juvia has joined the guild. She looks very cute and beautiful in her new dress. She did a great help to them during the Paradise Tower.

"This is our member, Juvia. Ain't she a cute?" asked Makarov

"Juvia is glad to be of service!" Juvia said with a smile as she takes a bow to greet them.

Gray gave chuckles. "So you really joined?" he asked

"You helped us a lot at Akane." said Erza

"Yeah, thank you for helping us." said Naruto with a smile as Juvia blushed for seeing his smile and his Bijuu mode from another day. She remembered that day in the night.

"Y-You're welcome. Juvia will work hard!" she said with a smile.

"Glad to have you!" said Lucy with a smile. She gave a respect to Juvia, but…

"Love rival!" she growled as her dark aura around her and death glaring at Lucy. Lucy dropped her sweat. She's actually not trying to steal Gray from Juvia.

"And we have one more new member." Makarov said

Naruto is surprised for hearing a new another member. He hopes it was his friend. "A new member? Who is it?" he asked

"Over there." Makarov said with a smile as he's pointing at Gajeel who sitting on a seat. It made Naruto and the group shocked for seeing him join their guild. They didn't like him because he destroyed Fairy Tail guild before.

"Gajeel!" Natsu yelled. The group is now in a battle mode to prepare a fight with Gajeel, the phantom member.

"You!" glared Naruto as he took out of his kunai.

"Why is he…?" Gray said

Juvia rushed between them as she tries to calm them down. "Wait! Juvia recommended him!" she said.

"Juvia is good, but Gajeel's the person who destroyed our guild!" glared Erza

"Now, now… They say yesterday's enemies are tomorrow's friends, yes?" Makarov asks

"Yeah… I d-don't mind at a-all…" said Levy as she's hiding the table by couching down.

"This has got to be some joke!" said Natsu, slammed on the table and glared at Gajeel. "You expect me to go on jobs with this guy?"

"Don't worry, the feeling is mutual. I just need jobs, that's all! Never thought that would mean I'd have to work for this puny, annoying guild." said Gajeel

Natsu was about to scolding at him, but Naruto stopped him by patting on his shoulder. He turned around at him. His eyes were widened for feeling his aura of anger. Naruto walked beside to Gajeel and had something to say to him.

"Listen Gajeel, I accepted you to join our guild, but I have a warning for you. If you ever hurt my friends again…" he said with a deep dark voice as his eyes turn into red eyes like a demon. "I'll blind you with no mercy."

Gajeel dropped his sweat in little bits as he felt his aura is red as rage and demon. Everyone in the guild hall got scared of Naruto. They have never seen Naruto talked like that before and his anger aura.

"Naruto, I think you scared everyone." said Kurama.

"Really?" asked Naruto as his red eyes returned back to normal and turned around. He sees everybody is staring at him with a panic face. "Sorry about that, guys."

"I just don't feel at home here anymore…" said Natsu with a sulked face expression as he's standing here for nothing slows before light suddenly went off as it goes black as black pitch.

When the light went back as on, Mirajane is on the stage, sitting on the chair, holding the guitar.

"Hey, Mirajane!" Naruto said with a smile as he's waving out hand at Mirajane.

"Welcome back! I will now sing a song commemorating the new guild and to welcome back Naruto's team." Mirajane said as she plays her guitar and started to sings. Her music and her voice is very beautiful and made a warm feeling in their head and heart. Naruto and everyone enjoyed her music. When Mirajane's song is finished, everybody clapped their hands for her as she takes a bow for them.

"Great! Who is next?" asked Marco.

"Hey, Lucy, you should summon-" Naruto said as the light went off again. It means someone is going to performance for everyone.

When the light is on, Gajeel is on the stage. He's wearing white suits like a mafia and sunglasses. He's holding a rock guitar. Everyone was shocked as they turned into white as paper.

"What the fuck!" said Natsu as Naruto spat out of the ramen from his mouth for seeing Gajeel doing his performance to everyone.

"I wrote this song myself. It's called Best Friend. I hope you enjoy it." said Gajeel, speaking the microphone stick.

"Best Friend!?" shocked Naruto.

People of Fairy Tail members are booing at Gajeel.

"I hope you'll get choke!" Mage said

"And why are you all dolled up in a white suit!" Mage #2 said

Gajeel begins to sing for everything before playing his guitar first. His voice is horrible and his song. "Colorful, colorful… Shooby doo bop! Tremble with love, steel gray metallic!" He sang as his horrible voice made Naruto and the others turned into white as their body is going to break apart as a glass. But, few of them love it.

"He's got chops!" Elfman yelled

"Go for it, Gajeel!" Juvia cheered

"Doo doo doo… Shalala… Shooby doo bop! Shalala…" sang Gajeel. People are throwing the random stuff at him. They didn't want him to sing of his rock star song again. It annoyed them so bad. It hurt their ears like crazy.

"I've never heard a song this crappy before!" Natsu said as he covered his both ears.

"Good thing I have this." Naruto said, brought the headphone set with him because he wanted to continue to eat his ramen.

"Where did you get that?!" Gray asked.

Before asking that question, throwing guitar suddenly hits in Natsu's face.

"You wanna fight!" He yelled with angry as he and Gajeel went in jumped into the air. They kicked on their legs

"Shooby do bop!" Gajeel yelled

"What do you think you're doing!?" Natsu asks

"I'm shooby doo bopping, you jerk!" said Gajeel

"Please… stop…" cried Makarov. He didn't want them to destroy his new building of Fairy Tail. It has been finished about a week ago.

Natsu is going for a punch Gajeel in a face, but he got hit by the thrown cup. He sudden yelled at random who threw the cup at him. "Who threw that!?" He asked in anger.

"Natsu! You're going too far!" yelled Gray, stood up and glaring at Natsu, but he accidently pushed Erza's cake while eating it. The pushed made her dropped the strawberry cake on the ground. It made her heart goes broken.

"My… strawberry cake…" Poor Titania said as she was shocked that Elfman stepped on her strawberry cake.

"Listen up, you all! Real men don't make such damn racket!" Elfman yells.

"Shut up!" Erza yelled as she kicks Elfman and sent him to Naruto.

"My ramen!" Naruto cried as he sees his ramen dropped on the ground and someone stepped on his favorite food. He is really angry for getting pushed and dropped his ramen. He got pushed by everyone, so he got up and had enough of this. "I had enough all of you! Bring it on!" His eyes are orange toad eyes and went in Sage Mode. A hero of Konoha has joined the brawl.

"Now this is more like Fairy Tail…" Natsu's face got hit by Gajeel's iron.

Meanwhile, Naruto is walking on the street while taking a fresh air. He sees lots of people are whispering about the festival and preparing for stuff. He smiled at them. As he's in a place with a circle grass where Fairy Tail usually been there, he sees a lightning striking from nowhere, but in the sky. It wasn't just a rain. It's a magic which he sensed. He sees Gajeel is getting beat up by a man with yellow spike hair.

"Stop, Laxus! That's going too far!" said Jet, standing right next to Levy and defending her.

Laxus didn't listen to him as he kept stomping Gajeel in the head with a lightning. He heard Gajeel that destroyed his Fairy Tail guild hall since he gone. He's not in a mood. His face is anger, rage, and hatred feeling.

"I knew Laxus is strong, but… It's that one-sided?" Dory asked, but he realized Gajeel didn't fight back or defending himself against Laxus. He's letting him hit him.

"Wait, is it that Gajeel never even…" Jet said

"Because he wanted us to recognize him as an ally… He just took it, without defending himself!" Levy said.

Laxus's stomped went harder and harder on Gajeel's head as the ground goes crumbles and a hole. He is not showing any mercy to him. He kept going and going until Gajeel learned his lesson or dead…

"I'll teach you what happens to anybody who takes on Fairy Tail!" Laxus said with an angry.

"Stop it, Laxus! That's enough!" said Jet.

Laxus twitched in anger. "Shut up!" He said as he shoots the lightning bolt. It went through between Jet and Droy. But it's going to hit Levy. The lightning is a very powerful attack. It can hurt her very badly.

Gajeel rushed very fast and saves Levy by blocking his iron arm, but someone also saves Gajeel and Levy. When Levy opened her eyes, she sees Gajeel is in front of her, blocking the lightning for her from Laxus. But, there's also another person in front of Gajeel and blocked the lightning strike for him. It was a golden and black stripe on its back. It was Naruto who saved Gajeel. He's in Kyuubi Chakra mode and used giant chakra arms to defend himself and Gajeel. It blocked the lightning bolt. He can feel little bits pain in his hand, but if the lightning hits Gajeel or Levy. They couldn't have a bad condition.

"Naruto?" shocked Levy.

Laxus glared at Naruto for saving Gajeel's life and blocked the lightning. "Naruto… Why are you…?" He asked with angry as he clenched his fist in lightning and anger.

"He's our new member. You see what he did to Levy." said Naruto, glaring back at Laxus.

Laxus is really mad at Naruto for saving Phantom Lord Member, Gajeel. He walked away from them and never hurt Gajeel again. Naruto can feel Laxus's, anger, hatred, and pride. His goal is to become Fairy Tail guild master. But, he didn't like that guy. Laxus don't have to go so far, hurting Gajeel so badly with the anger. That doesn't change anything of him.

"This guy... I have a bad feeling about him." thought Naruto, watching Laxus's walking away from them. He wanted to make sure he's gone.

"T-Thank you for saving me." said Levy.

Naruto deactivated his Kyuubi Chakra Mode and turned around at her. "You shouldn't thank me. You should thank Gajeel." He said with a smile as he sees Gajeel's walking away.

"W-Wait…" Levy tried, but…

"Leave me alone…" said Gajeel, walking in a struggle with his injury body that was Laxus. He can't make to the top of a hill, so he was going to fall. But, Naruto caught him.

"I got you, buddy." Naruto said, helping Gajeel up by wrapping his arm around the neck.

"Why are you helping me? I thought I'm your enemy." Gajeel said

"Because I see you protected your comrade. You have showed your true nature. If you wouldn't be there, Levy couldn't be dead. So that why I came here to help you. To me, I will never let my comrade die." said Naruto with a smile.

"Hey, Naruto…" Gajeel said

"What is it?" Naruto asks

"Thanks." Gajeel said with a little bit smile as Naruto smile back at him.
