Here is another chapter. The pairings are the same as mentioned in previous chapter. If people are interested I may add more of them to Naruto.

I have started a new crossover in the same category. 'Lost memories.' You can check it out if you are interested. Has other Shinobi in it other than Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, his head still spinning around from the pain. He slowly got up onto his legs only to fall back on his butt. He looked around as his eyes trailed off to a fallen Raven haired teen, a few meters away from him. Naruto quickly recognizing the person, ran towards the teen stumbling across the way, "S-sasuke!"

He got there and turned his friend's body around and was relieved when he knew that Sasuke was just unconscious, "Thank god…" he suddenly remembered as memory came flooding back to him. He looked around to find the whole area turned into blue crystals, in fact the whole tower was turned that way.

"What the-" Naruto said as he noticed an enraged Natsu destroying the whole place. He also noticed an unconscious Erza as well. 'What happened while Sasuke and I became unconscious… didn't Erza come at the time to stop Jellal…' Naruto remembering Jellal, he immediately looked to see him trying to stop Natsu from destroying the tower.

He slowly got back onto his feet, 'My chakra is drained from the earlier seal… the remaining chakra I have left, it's nowhere near enough to defeat the guy but I have got to still try' he thought as he looked at his hands.

"Fire Dragon's Gleaming Flame" Natsu said as he raised both his hands having a huge fireball atop them and brought his hands down destroying the place beneath him.

"You insolent brat" Jellal shouted and threw a magic beam at Natsu. Natsu weary to block it, stood still waiting for the impact but the beam never hit it's ground. Natsu opened his eyes to look at his fellow blonde mate carrying him under his arm as he leapt from the place where Natsu was initially standing. " What did I tell you Natsu… when you see an attack, you dodge if you don't have the power to overpower it. We went through this training you know" Naruto said as he placed him down. Erza woke up due to the impact caused by the beam but she was still lying down due to her fight earlier with Jellal.

"Yeah… but I forgot" Natsu said as he gave a smile to Naruto. "Now then… how should we proceed about this?" Naruto asked glancing at the pink haired Dragon Slayer.

Natsu got up and stood beside Naruto, "He is holding back because he is afraid the tower will be destroyed if he doesn't."

"So, we just have to destroy the tower, huh?" Naruto said as he gave a grin. "You know Jellal, I have learnt few things while I was in team Natsu…" Jellal turned his attention towards Naruto "And that is wrecking stuff is Natsu's specialty."

"You insolent brat…" Jellal shouted as he narrowed his eyes, "There is no need of you anymore. The tower is completed with the help of the Aetherion blast. So just stay down and die" he shouted as he increased his magic energy.

"Natsu! Do your thing while I fight Jellal," Naruto said running towards Jellal. Jellal shot a fire beam at Naruto, which hit him. Jellal gave a smirk but the smirk vanished from his face when Naruto turned into a puff of smoke. 'A clone!? Where is the real one?' he turned around looking for him but in no vain.

The ground beneath him cracked and a fist came colliding Jellal's chin sending him back, thrashing against a lacrima wall. Naruto popped out of the hole beneath him and stood still as he stared at Jellal who rose back to his feet. Meanwhile, Natsu was destroying the place but was careful not to destroy the place near Sasuke or Erza.

Erza who was awake now, slowly moved across the debris towards Sasuke's unconscious body. She then settled herself next to his body as she sat down. The Titania then took her rival's hand for checking a sign and let out a sigh of relief when she felt a pulse. 'Naruto and Natsu… it's up to you both now'

..

"You…" Jellal got up. He had a pretty annoyed look on his face at the blonde who was in front of him. He immediately fired a beam at Naruto who didn't dodge it and stood still to let it hit him. But Naruto once again turned into a puff of smoke after the beam hit him.

"Don't think it will work twice on me" Jellal said as he flew up with the help of Meteor, looking cautiously at the ground below him, his arm raised ready to fire.

"Behind you" a whisper was heard at which Jellal could only turn his head back just in time to receive a punch from Naruto. As he fell to the ground, he noticed the ground beneath cracked as well, another Naruto popping up and punching him while he was still in air and again sent flying up. Jellal just managed to open his eyes and immediately wished that he didn't. His eyes widened as he stared at a hundred Naruto clones all around him- up, downwards, to the side- they were swarming over him.

All the clones immediately jumped towards him from all directions and started punching him, "NA-" few clones close to him were dispelled as he fired a beam only to be met by more clones from the top who started kicking him "-RU-" As Jellal was freely falling down due to the gravitation, three more clones waited for him at the bottom giving him a kick to his chin much like Rock lee's kick, sending him flying again "-TO"

All the clones now started attacking from the top punching him downwards shouting, "-2K UZUMAKI BARRAGE" he was sent crashing down as the ground beneath him was cracked and the floor beneath him as well. He fell many floors downwards.

Naruto dispelled all his clones and moved towards where Erza and Sasuke were. He moved wearily clearly exhausted from the previous attack as his legs kept shaking. He stumbled across a fallen lacrima debris and was about to fall on his face. He braced his face for the impact but instead felt an arm around him and was surprised when he saw Erza. She smiled at him and spoke, "Nice to see you defeated Jellal" she put him down gently as she sat beside him. "Natsu's doing his job… I can see that you instructed him as well" she said she chuckled at the pink haired teen who was at a distance wrecking all the stuff around him. "Erza…" he said gaining her attention, "… he isn't gone yet. I can still feel his magic pressure."

Erza's eyes widened when she heard from Naruto but sat with a calm expression. "Erza… take Natsu and get out of here…" he said with a weary look on his face as he fell on his back unconscious.

"Naruto!" she moved towards him, "He became unconscious due to over exerting himself" she said as she had a small smile on her face, observing Naruto's peaceful face as he lay unconscious.

She heard an explosion a few meters away and when turned around to look, she saw Natsu thrown towards her. She managed to catch him and stood in front of him as she stared at the bluenette, who came out from the smoke.

Jellal crossed his hands as a golden magic circle appeared before him. All the air and light present in the area started moving above his hands.

"What's with this magic? It's such a terrible sensation…" Natsu said as he had his hands up to cover is face.

"This magic… this is bad!" Erza shouted to Natsu who was now standing in front of Naruto's fallen body and Erza.

"You will be trapped in endless darkness, Dragon mage, Uzumaki Naruto!" he shouted as a black sphere formed above him, "Pity you can't witness your death… Naruto!"

Natsu barely able to see, opened his eyes to look at the scarlet hair waving in front of him, Erza standing as she extended her hands to protect those behind her. "Will you kill me as well?"

Jellal hesitated as he stood still. "You need a living sacrifice to resurrect Zeref, don't you?"

"Indeed…" he said as he glanced down, "But with the way things have gone, I don't care whether it's your body or another. I have Sasuke right here to take your place" Erza realizing what he told, "Crumble to the dust, all of you!"

"…"

"Heaven Magic: Altairis" he threw the black sphere above his hands. The sphere wrecking all the stuff in its path, made its way towards them. Erza closed her eyes as she braced for the impact, ignoring Natsu's protests. Just as the sphere was about to hit her, Simon appeared in front of her, and blocked the attack with his magic. It wasn't enough as the attack went past his defense and fatally injured him.

"Simon?" she said as the smoke cleared revealing the person in front of her.

"Erza…" he managed to say before he fell to the ground. "Simon!" she shouted as she ran towards his body.

"Why did you… didn't you escape?" she asked as she rested her palm beneath his head. Simon just looked up at the sky panting before he had a smile on his face, "I-I am glad… in the end… I could help you-" he coughed unable to speak.

"I got it! Listen to me. Don't try to talk" She said as tears started forming in her eyes and had a worried expression on her face. "You were… so kind…"

"The insect was still crawling about, huh?!" Jellal shouted as he started laughing like a maniac. "Simon, that is what you call throwing your life away. The end result will be the same for all of you," He raised both his hands again preparing for the same attack, this time the sphere was formed much quicker.

Gust of wind blew towards him from all directions disturbing Erza and Simon's final talk. "Erza… I am sorry. Looks like… my sacrifice was in vain… to save you" he said as rolled his eyes towards Jellal. Erza glared at Jellal while Natsu stood frozen by what happened in front of him. Naruto just managed to open his eyes as he was awoken by the previous attack.

"Heaven Magic: Altairis" He threw another dark sphere towards them. They just sat in their positions helplessly as the effects of the previous attack still hasn't sunk in yet.

Jellal just smirked as the sphere reached its destination and smoke arose from the explosion. "That takes care of them. Now for the ritual, Sasuke-kun" he looked in direction where Sasuke was unconscious previously. His eyes widened when he didn't find Sasuke lying unconscious there. He immediately spun his head towards the smoke. A sweat ran across his brow as he saw a giant purple skull emerging from the smoke.

..

Naruto sat up from his position as he stared at the Uchiha Fan symbol at some distance ahead of him. He looked around and saw that he was inside a purple rib cage. 'So this is the Susanoo Kakashi-sensei talked about'. Erza and Simon were in between Naruto and Sasuke, and Natsu was standing near Naruto. They were all inside a purple ribcage.

"This rib cage… it's Sasuke's" Erza said as her eyes trailed to the Uchiha in front of her. 'Sasuke… thank you for protecting Erza' Simon thought as he looked at the Uchiha crest on Sasuke's back.

Sasuke was on his one knee as he kept panting. His eyes had changed to the Mangekyou pattern and blood dripped from his left eye. As He slowly got onto all fours, he coughed up a bunch of blood and felt his vision get blurry. Naruto darted towards Sasuke and got down to one knee beside Sasuke, "Sasuke! Are you all right?"

"Naruto! Listen to me…you have to save them if it's the last thing you'll do" Naruto looked at him as Sasuke continued, "Once you've got them, I want you to take them and flee as fast as you can…" Naruto just stared at him remembering a quick flash back at the land of waves where Sasuke jumped in front to shield him from the needles of Haku, "It's all up to you"

"Sasuke… y-you…" Naruto said as he figured out the obvious meaning in Sasuke's words.

"I can agh… hold him here…" he said slowly getting back on to his feet "…a little longer… gah!" he was back on his feet and glared at Jellal as the smoke cleared, "If it ends here, it just means that this was as far I was meant to go" Erza's eyes widened when she heard the last part as she lifted her head from Simon's body and stopped her crying momentarily. "I lost everything once…I don't ever want to see that again. My trusted comrades falling right in front of me"

"Your comrades… Sasuke…" Naruto's eyes widened a bit as he saw the younger Sasuke in the Uchiha beside him when he heard his sensei's words from Sasuke's mouth. "Now that you are back to older yourself, like hell will I leave you!" he said as he tightened his head band and his eyes changing to toad version. "And besides, do you want to leave another scar in Erza's life… Simon just sacrificed himself for her…" he clenched his fists, "what do you think will happen if she loses two precious people to her on the same day" he said as he got up.

"Naruto…" Erza spoke in a low voice. "What do you mean…" Sasuke asked as glanced towards the blonde, Naruto looked at his supposed intelligent partner, "you were finally getting along with her… at the bridge and all, I saw it" he said as he gave a grin while Sasuke gave his 'Tch' and looked away with embarrassment. Erza was listening to all this but couldn't make anything of what Naruto just spoke. Natsu leapt and landed beside Naruto and said, "Count me in… that bastard has got to pay for what he did. He made Erza cry"

Jellal shot a fire beam at them as soon as the Susanoo was dispelled. Naruto formed few hand signs and a wall of wind engulfed around them protecting them. "Natsu give us some time… distract him until then." Natsu leapt forward while Sasuke and Naruto started infusing chakra.

Natsu was easily over powered by Jellal as he was sent crashing against a wall. 'I must do whatever I can to buy them some time' he picked up an Aetherion rock and started eating it. He immediately choked himself. "What a fool! You think you can just eat up Aetherion… it's a combination of all elements, not just fire" Jellal said as he started laughing. Natsu choked but soon an aura surrounded him and scales began to form on his skin. 'This guy is actually absorbing Aetherion?'

Natsu jumped forward as he hit Jellal's chin with his knee at a speed which the human eye couldn't follow. Then he jumped towards the ceiling, from where he got a boost by pushing his legs against them and punched Jellal sending him crashing down several floors followed by Natsu.

..

"Looks like we won't be needed… he is taking care of him on his own" Naruto said as he infused enough chakra. "Hn" was the reply he got. 'So this is Natsu's power… looks like I underestimated him' Sasuke thought. Erza just continued to spectate the fight going on in front of her.

Jellal appeared flying from the hole he was punched down earlier followed by Natsu engulfed in Fire, punching him. Jellal immediately kicked Natsu sending him crashing down and flew towards the sky, staring at the people below.

"Naruto… let's at least provide back up for him" Sasuke said glancing at his friend.

"You got it."

Naruto brought summoned a clone beside him. He extended his right palm near the clone as a huge transparent sphere was formed with five Rasengans in it. He shot it towards Jellal, who had a huge magic circle in front of him by now which was the spell for Abyss break. He apparently decided to destroy the tower. Sasuke's left eye bled, "Amaterasu" he said as he incinerated the shell containing Rasengans which was headed towards Jellal. The sphere was completely engulfed in black flames. From the black flames, Five Rasengans made its way towards Jellal at high speed, who was unable to defend against them as he was midst activating the spell. An explosion occurred and Natsu taking this opportunity flew towards him with the support of his dragon force.

"There is no freedom for someone who is used by a ghost! Free yourself first, Jellal!" he shouted as he reached him and gave him a fire fist to his cheek. At this, Jellal smashed against the tower, the whole tower shaking in the process.

'This is… Natsu's true power. This is… A Dragon Slayer! He has defeated Jellal. The battle I have been fighting these eight long years is finally over. Everyone is truly free now…' Erza thought in happiness.

Because of using too much of energy Natsu was exhausted and was about to fall but Sasuke caught him by his scarf.

"Natsu! Are you all right?" Naruto asked not noticing that Natsu was unconscious.

"Looks like he passed out because of using too much magic energy." Sasuke said.

"Natsu!" Erza shouted and ran towards him.

Just then the tower started to shine and rays of light started to appear.

"I sense awful magic energy." Sasuke said.

"Has Aetherion gone berserk?" Erza said.

"Berserk? Why?" Naruto asked.

"Containing such an immense magical power surely comes with a high degree of instability. And with nowhere to dissipate, this magical power will burst into a gargantuan explosion. We have to hurry or we will be wiped out at this rate." Sasuke warned everybody as he started to notice the tower collapsing.

Naruto carried Natsu on his back and started running behind Erza and Sasuke. While running Erza was unable to dodge a light beam of Lacrima because of which she tripped and fell. At that moment Erza remembered Jellal saying about her body getting infused with the Aetherion.

'If I can fuse myself with Aetherion, can I then control this tower and stop the explosion? I've got no other options.' Erza thought and kept her hand in the lacrima shell near her to get infused with the Aetherion. Sasuke caught her hand "Don't be silly… that Dobe just lectured me about this… and you are trying to do the exact same thing that I tried earlier… sacrificing yourself" he dragged her out of it before she could say anything and get fused with it further. Naruto and Natsu caught up just then. The whole construction started to shake.

"Now what?". Sasuke bit his finger and performed few seals and pressed his hand against the ground. A big circle appeared with some seals beneath his hand. "Summoning Jutsu". Smoke arose and a hawk was present in front of them. "Get on it!"

..

"What a disappointment you have been Jellal… if you would have lost at the hands of the Jinchuriki or Sasuke I could have understood…" Tobi got down to the Jellal's fallen body and opened his eyelid to make him look at his sharingan, "…but you lost to a mage who wasn't even S-class. Just forget about everything... your past who you were and our meeting as well" he said as he placed a Genjutsu on the fallen Jellal and disappeared to his dimension.

..

Gray, Lucy, Juvia and the others were waiting for them at the beach. They witnessed the tower exploding and were worried about the safety of their fellow team mates. They then heard a Hawk's shriek above them and when they turned around, the hawk had landed and their team mates got down from it. They all jumped and ran towards their mates while the hawk disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Thank you Natsu, Naruto and Sasuke" Erza thanked them while Natsu and Naruto gave their usual grin whereas Sasuke just replied with a 'Hn'.

They all had a party after they all put on the bandages. Erza and Natsu's full body were covered in bandages whereas Naruto's right arm and his right cheek had a bandage. Sasuke had his fore head and left eye cover in bandages. Lucy and Gray had only a few bandages compared to the rest.

After the party, everyone had gone to rest while Erza still stayed at the beach. She sat there, staring at the endless horizon in the moon light. "I can't believe all of this had happened" she muttered to herself.

"We cannot ignore our past. It catches up to us no matter how far we away run from it" Sasuke said as she was startled by his sudden voice.

"How long have you been here?" she asked a little annoyed.

Sasuke just smirked "Right from the moment you started sulking…" he said as he stood beside her. He had his hands folded. She hesitated a bit before saying, "T-thank you for everything Uchiha, I m-mean Sasuke…" she looked down as she finished her sentence.

"You thanked me earlier… did you forget?" he asked in a calm tone.

She stared at his eyes, "I mean… if you hadn't stopped me from fusing myself with the lacrima, I would have been dead. When I think about it, I realized it would have been a mistake… nobody would have been happy with it" she said as a light blush covered her cheeks, realizing that what she was about to tell, might sound childish to him, "I s-sort of had a vision of what would be if that were the case" she said as she hugged her legs close to her body. Sasuke just laughed at this.

"Hey, don't laugh like that" she yelled as she pouted. He crouched to her level and poked her fore head with his middle and index finger of his right hand, "I- I am sorry for laughing… you can repay the favor later if you feel that much of gratitude towards me" he said with a smile. She just turned her head away to cover her blush and touched her fore head where he had poked earlier, "Why do you poke? What does it mean…?"

Sasuke got up and looked at the horizon, "I don't know… my brother used to do it to me all the time when I was little" he said as he gave a final glance at her. "I'll leave you to your thoughts" he said walking away. She just continued to stare at the horizon as the waves crashed against the land, 'You still haven't told me about your past… well whatever, I have the feeling that I'll be knowing about it soon.'

Have recently come to know that Sasuke poking people's fore head is the ultimate expression of his love towards them.

For people who didn't get why Sasuke and Naruto were weak in this chapter and haven't done much is because they had most their chakra sucked out(Chapter9).

I made them weak and let Natsu do the fight because I wanted Fairy tail members to grow as well. Naruto and Sasuke will be getting their respective half of Sage of six paths power in the future chapters.

I'll be covering Naruto and Mirajane pair in the next arc.

Until then, Later!
