Crimson lotus exploding flame blade

It's been two days since the attack on the village and no one's even heard about the latest cultist attack. Minato and Kushina were currently on a train heading home. While both of the adult mages were frustrated with the council Minato wasn't quite as volatile as his wife was at the moment. "I can't believe the council, summoning us for such matters we aren't even apart of a guild at the moment, I mean do they not understand what leave of absence means" Kushina ranted clearly not happy with what happened over the last couple of days.

"I know you're upset Kushina but the council has a point, the dark guilds are gaining too much power and need to be stopped" Minato told her as she glared out the window before turning to him.

"If the council really wanted to help they would find the final tower of heaven and completely shut down the R-system" Kushina said.

Knowing she was to angry to have a civil conversation Minato decided to change the subject. "So what do you plan on teaching Naruto first" Minato asked. Mentioning Naruto is all Minato needed to do and Kushina's attitude did a one-eighty.

"I don't know there's so much I want him to learn theirs swordsmanship, see if he can use my heavenly chain magic, then there's your runes magic and Lightning magic let's not forget we want him to be his own person, so will have to give him a book on types of magic which he'll have to read" Kushina ranted before Minato covered her mouth with his hand.

"Alright why don't we start on getting him to access his magic before anything else" Minato suggested getting a nod from Kushina. Before either of them could say anything else the train stopped signaling that they reached their destination. Once they exited the train station they made their way home not realizing what they found would crush their spirits to a near breaking point and would take years to recover from the heartbreak they would experience.

Twenty minutes later once they climbed up the final hill that overlooked their village they saw it. "th...This isn't happening, tell me this is a nightmare" Kushina gasped.

Minato was just as shocked as his wife 'how, wait don't tell me, was this the work of zeref cultist' Minato thought to himself as he clenched his fist.

One thought was running through both of their minds at that point' Naruto'. They both took off at full speed to Aurora's home hoping beyond hope Naruto was alright. Once they reached aurora's house Kushina started to call out for them "Naruto,Aurora are you here, Deaton anybody" Kushina cried out.

"Kushina they aren't here let's go check our house,Naruto might have ran and hid there" Minato told her as they left in search of their son. On their way home Kushina stumbled upon something she prayed she wouldn't run across. Aurora was on the ground with a hole in her chest. Kushina approached her body slowly as she started to tremble. Kushina didn't even realize that she started to cry.

"Aurora, I….I should have been here, we could of stopped this I'm so sorry Aurora I'm so sorry" Kushina cried as she started to shake uncontrollably until Minato pulled her to him in a tight embrace.

"Minato she's dead, Naruto they've taken him haven't they…." Kushina cried not being able to finish her line of thought. Minato continued to comfort his wife before speaking "we don't know that Kushina he could have gotten away" Minato said trying to give his wife hope even if he knew how slim the chances were. "Come on we still haven't checked at home yet" Minato said as he got a nod of confirmation from Kushina as they pressed on to where they prayed their son would be.

When they got there Kushina burst through the door "Naruto are you here, it's mommy sweetheart it's okay you can come out now, Naruto please" Kushina pleaded as she started to break down and cry realizing Naruto wasn't here. "Those bastards they took my baby boy" Kushina said barely above a whisper.

Turning to her husband she stood up wiped her eyes and clenched her fist. "Minato we have to find him, we have to go get him and bring him home" Kushina said with a broken voice all she wanted was to hold Naruto in her arms.

"We can't do that Kushina as much as I want to we still haven't been able to locate the final tower" Minato told her as he was trying and failing to keep his temper in check. "Dammit" Minato yelled as he punched a nearby wall. Kushina timidly wrapped her arms around Minato and placed her head in his chest. Too tired to shed anymore tears she fell asleep in Minato arms. Looking down at his wife Minato picked Kushina up bridal style and carried her to their room. It was to late to catch the train so they would stay here tonight and head back to Mongolia tomorrow, hopefully master Makarov would be able to help them in finding Naruto. After placing Kushina on the bed he curled up next to her and let sleep take over.

Two weeks later with Azrael and Naruto

Naruto was tired, he was tired of being tired. "Hey Azrael when are we gonna start my training" Naruto asked letting his frustration be known. It's not like it was his fault Azrael told him he would teach him magic but all they've done for two weeks is eat, walk and sleep.

"How many times have I told you once we reach my home now hold your horses we'll be there by tonight so just have some patience" Azrael said as they continued their journey.

True to his word they reached their destination that night but it was to late to start Naruto's training. So they ate and turned in for the night. Naruto fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Azrael watched Naruto sleep peacefully for a couple of minutes before retiring to his room.

The next day Naruto woke up bright and early ready for today's training. When he went to look for Azrael he found him outside meditating on a nearby boulder. "So are you ready to begin your training young man, I'll warn you now my training is intense most can't handle it. I've had five apprentices in the past and all of them gave up in the first three months of training, do you think you can do any better" Azrael asked.

Naruto just stared at the older man with determination in his eyes. "Master Azrael I promise you I'll complete your training no matter how hard it is or how many people before me tried and failed, I'll never give up that's a promise" Naruto said with a fire burning in his eyes that reminded Azrael of himself when he was younger.

"Alright then let's begin your training, now the first thing you need to do is unlock your magic" Azrael told Naruto.

"how do I do that master" Naruto asked since he never got the chance to unlock it considering everything that happened two weeks ago.

"It's pretty simple Naruto just do what I'm doing it's called meditation" Azrael told him as Naruto took up the same position as Azrael did on an similar boulder.

"Now concentrate and feel for a power deep within yourself, You will know it when you find it" Azrael said waiting to see if Naruto would succeed in unlocking it on his first try or not. While he was waiting Azrael was suddenly hit with a force of energy making him shield his eyes. "Unbelievable at such a young age he has so much magic power, his potential is even greater than I hoped" Azrael added as Naruto opened his eyes.

"Did I do it, did I unlock my magic" Naruto asked getting a nod from Azrael, Naruto got up and started to jump up and down the grin on his face never fading.

"Now sit down and meditate some more" Azrael told him as Naruto's grin disappeared.

"More meditation, I thought you were going to teach me magic" Naruto complained not at all happy with what his master said.

"Naruto I told you I'm going to teach you magic and I will, but in order for you to reach my level of control over Wind you must become one with it, that is why you have to meditate" Azrael told him.

Naruto grumbled but took up the same position Azrael did on the boulder he was previously meditating on. "Now listen to the wind, hear it's cry, you must become one with with the wind Naruto. Once you can do these things you are one step closer to mastering wind magic" Azrael said as he continued to meditate.

"So how long will I have to do this crap I want to get to the cool stuff" Naruto asked still a bit peeved over the whole meditation ordeal.

Azrael sighed " this crap is a vital part of your training, as for how long it takes that's determined by the individual. Take me for example it took me six months to complete this part of the training".

"Six months I don't want to do this for six months" Naruto complained. Azrael shook his head "that's how long it took me, like I said it's different for each individual. It could take you anywhere from five months to a whole year maybe even longer" Azrael told him.

"So how do I know when I have completed this part of the training then" Naruto asked wanting to get this over with already.

Azrael smirked at the boy "like this" Azrael said as the wind around him started to whip around violently as Naruto had to shield his eyes from the wind. After the demonstration Azrael stood up "alright you continue with the meditation and I'll get started on breakfast" Azrael said as he disappeared into the small cabin.

It's been three months since Naruto started his training. While he was meditating Azrael was gathering some firewood. When he was making his way back to the clearing he saw something he never expected. Naruto was meditating like he's done for the past three months except now wind was whipping around him violently "Impossible he's mastered the first step in three months, I never thought he would master it this fast" Azrael said to himself walking over to his apprentice forgetting all about the firewood he dropped in his shocked state.

When he got over to Naruto he noticed he still had his eyes closed. "Naruto open your eyes" Azrael said. Once Naruto did as he was told he noticed the change as a smile slowly made its way to his face.

"I did it, I actually did it" Naruto yelled not even trying to contain his excitement.

"yes you did in three months time a feat I didn't think was possible but you did it. Now we get to move on to as what according to you is the cool stuff" Azrael said mockingly as Naruto's smile turned into a full blown grin.

Three years later

In a clearing we see two people facing off. One is a man in his early thirties with black hair and glowing green eyes the other is a child with blond hair and blue eyes. "Are you ready Naruto, here it comes" Azrael said as he held out his right palm. "wind sphere" Azrael called out sending a condensed ball of wind at Naruto.

"Wind barrier" Naruto yelled as the wind sphere launched towards the young blond. Before it could reach its target it hit an invisible wall of wind and dissipated.

"Very good Naruto, it looks like you've finally mastered wind barrier. It's the only defensive move besides wind body that I know of" Azrael told him as he motioned Naruto to follow him as they headed to the cabin.

"Why did we stop training master" Naruto asked once they stepped inside. Azrael just ignored the blond and proceeded to open the chest that he always kept locked.

"Naruto at the rate you're progressing I have no doubt you'll surpass me in the next ten years but it still may not be enough" Azrael told him.

"Not enough, what do you mean not enough for what" Naruto asked wondering what his master was talking about.

"I can't say for sure Naruto, all I know is something's coming and it's going to be your generation that's going to have to deal with it" Azrael said.

"Alright then what's that stone in your hand and what does it have to do with any of this" Naruto asked, to the blond ten year old it looked like a white stone but one thing thing was for certain whatever it was it was radiating power.

Azrael smirked and asked Naruto a question "tell me Naruto what do you know of dragons".

Four years later

'It's hard to believe it's been seven years since I last saw them. Mom, Dad I wonder do you still think about me. I'm sure you've both moved on and think I'm dead by now' Naruto thought.

"Naruto are you coming, we have to get some supplies from town we don't have all day" Azrael said bringing the blond back to reality.

"Yeah, sorry I was just lost in thought" Naruto told him as Azrael nodded. "I told you It's up to you if you want to leave and look for your parents I've taught you everything I can, only thing left is for you to gain strength on your own" Azrael told him as they continued towards town.

"I know, it's not like I plan on staying here forever I just don't know where to start. Besides it's been seven years they've probably forgotten all about me by now and moved on" Naruto said with a sad look in his eyes.

Azrael put a hand on his shoulder and looked Naruto in the eyes stopping him from making another step. "Alright first off a parent never forgets about their child no matter what so I don't want you ever thinking that, secondly like you've said it's been seven years. That's along time not being able to hold your child, wherever they're at they have to hurting just as much as you, maybe even more. Now as far as where to go I suggest going to the city Mongolia and joining fairy tail" Azrael told him.

"Fairy tail what's that" Naruto asked in the seven years Naruto's been with Azrael he never mentioned this place.

Azrael looked up into the sky thinking on past memories "that's right I've never told you about it have I, we'll it's a wizards guild one of the greatest in fact and I think you should join it" Azrael told his blond apprentice.

Before they could continue the conversation they heard an explosion in the background. "That sounds like it came from town" Naruto said as master and student alike raced towards town. When Naruto saw it he was terrified considering what he saw why wouldn't he. "What the hell is that master it's gigantic" Naruto asked as he turned to look at his master.

Azrael slowly walked past Naruto as he answered his student. Behzor the demon of chaos, it's said to rival that of Deliora the demon of destruction" Azrael told him.

Behzor's scaly skin was the blackest of black, some say it was the embodiment of darkness itself. It had a scorpion like tail and four claws on each hand. The demon was currently blasting the city with Lightning from its mouth and had yet to notice the pair of wind mages.

"Naruto I need you to evacuate everybody while I hold off the demon" Azrael ordered. Naruto was about to make his protest known but the glare he was given from Azrael silenced him. Naruto nodded and took off looking for survivors. Azrael watched the blond leave before turning towards Behzor. "Goodbye Naruto you've been a remarkable student but it ends here, I'm not walking away from this fight" Azrael said as he readied himself.

While Naruto was evacuating civilians Azrael decided to get the demon's attention. "This should do the trick" Azrael said with a smirk. "wind blade storm" Azrael yelled as he held out his right hand and generated dozens of boomerang shaped blades of wind that he sent towards Behzor.

Naruto was currently escorting a family out of the city when he heard another explosion "master please be careful" Naruto said. Once Naruto finished evacuating everyone he took of towards the direction of the fighting despite the survivors protest. "Come on, please be okay master" Naruto said as he ran towards the fighting.

Naruto knew something was wrong when he took off towards Behzor explosions were going off left and right but died down when he was halfway there. Once he arrived he saw his master on one knee and Behzor slowly stalking towards Azrael as it raised its fist to finish him off. "It's going to kill him I have to do something" Naruto yelled before he activated his wind body spell and took off towards Azrael.

"Dammit I let my guard down" Azrael said as he clutched his ribs, they were definitely broken. It was over and he knew it but right when he braced himself for Behzor's attack he felt a strong gust of wind and his eyes snapped open "Naruto" was the only word he could mutter before being pushed out of the way.

When the dust cleared he saw Naruto standing in front of him haori flapping in the wind. "You okay Master" Naruto asked as he glared at the demon. Azrael nodded as Naruto helped him up before turning their attention towards Behzor. "Let's take him down together and finish this" Naruto said.

Azrael looked at his student for a few seconds before responding. "Sorry Naruto I can't allow that" Azrael told him. Before Naruto could respond Azrael knocked him out with a chop to the neck. "I didn't want to leave you like this Naruto but it looks like my times up, goodbye It's been an honor teaching you" Azrael said before slowly stepping towards Behzor his magic power skyrocketing.

"It's time to end this Behzor" Azrael yelled as he prepared his final spell. Once Azrael stopped walking forwards he crossed his arms with both pointer and middle fingers pointing towards the ground as a sword of wind was slowly generated and started to increase in size above him. " Prepare yourself Behzor your time has come now begone, sacred wind sword of transcendence" Azrael yelled as he thrust both his hands forward launching the massive blade of wind at the mighty demon. When the blade struck Behzor the wind generated from the impact covered the entire area in dust. When the dust finalky settled it revealed Azrael on the ground unmoving and nothing was left of the demon the destroyed city was the only evidence that the demon was ever there.

When Naruto started to stir he noticed two things first was that the demon was nowhere in sight, second was that Azrael was lying on the ground unmoving. Scrambling to his feet Naruto ran towards Azrael's prone form. "Master are you alright, hey answer me master this isn't funny" Naruto yelled. The young teenager tried and tried to wake him up even though his mind was telling him he was gone.

Once Naruto's senses came back to him he picked up Azrael carrying him on hism shoulder and started heading to where the survivors were. Once he regrouped with the survivors they started cheering and applauding for the demons defeat. Until one of the elders got Naruto's attention "young man you did it, you killed the demon we can't thank you enough" the man said.

Realization dawned on Naruto 'master you used that spell didn't you' thought Naruto before turning his attention to the old man. He cleared his throat before addressing the old man "it wasn't me but my master Azrael, he's the one who killed the demon at the cost of his own life" he told the group as they all gained sad and remorseful expressions on their faces as they watched the young teen walk away with his master in tow disappearing into the night.

A few weeks later and Naruto found himself in the town of Mongolia. He still wore the black haori and the necklace his parents gave him, now he has a katana strapped to his side the sheath was black with a silver and gold trimmed handle the blade Itself was of the whitest color. Azrael gave it to Naruto as a present for completing his training last year. Naruto still couldn't believe he was gone. After he buried Azrael he decided to honor his master's wish and join fairy tail. Little did he know it would reunite him with his long lost family.

"So this is it fairy tail, the guild that master thought I should join" Naruto said as he slowly pushed the guild doors open. When he stepped inside everyone in the guild turned their attention to him even the pinkette and raven haired kids stopped their fight mid punch why were they even fighting.

Naruto didn't let the stares intimidate him though he took a few steps forward. "Can any of you tell me who's In charge here" Naruto asked.

"That would be me young man what can I do for you" a short old man with white hair said stepping forward.

Naruto stared at the old man "have we met before you look familiar" Naruto asked.

Before the Old Man could comment someone else opened the door. Unlike when Naruto walked in everyone recognized them.

"Hey Minato, Kushina just in time we might be getting a new member" some random guild member yelled out causing Naruto to turn around.

When Naruto turned around he was barely able to form two simple words "Mom, Dad".
