Chapter 1 Finding Magic
Hello, Iskander Mandoraekon here with the revised and edited first chapter of my original Rebirth of Fairy Tail story, as stated in the first time around, I created this story based off of "Naruko, Elemental Nation's Traveling Mage" written by DamagedGlasses, who I got permission from to use his idea. Ya'll should read his story. I'll have more info after I finish this chapter at the bottom.
I do not own Naruto, Fairy Tail or any other story theme I might throw into this.
For most children, their birthday is a day where they are given the sole attention of their family and are given gifts that make them feel loved and most importantly, wanted.
However this is not true for a young girl of seven years old named Naruko Uzumaki, this is most defiantly not the way her life works.
This young lass sees the day of her birth as the day where almost every adult in Konoha gives their sole attention to her; however, instead of the toys and love her peers are given, Naruko is always introduced to new ways of being given pain brought forth by the torture created by the drunken hatred of the mobs that would tear down her apartment's doors and smash the windows just to get to her.
This day was no different than her last birthday and lead to the little blonde scurrying away from her home to escape the mob that had tried to kill her once again by running past all of the vendors in the streets of Konoha.
A piece of her being just wished to let it all end, let herself be taken by the angry mob that hated her and let the soothing darkness take her to her eventual death, maybe then she would learn why the people that inhabited this village hated her so much…
Unfortunately for that piece of her being, that idea was quickly beaten into submission by the sense of self-preservation that the rest of her being craved… and left in a corner bruised and nearly broken...
The only thing the young Naruko could hope for today was that her tormentors would knock her unconscious before they began so she wouldn't have to deal with all the pain, or that her adopted Onee-chan Anko Mitarashi and her Jiji, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would find her before the mobs did like they did on her fifth birthday.
The little blonde darted through the streets as fast as her little feet could carry her, frantically looking around for some sort of safe haven, like the way to her Jiji's office or Anko-neechan's apartment. A naïve thought of asking someone for help only briefly crossed her mind before her un-childlike logic smashed it to oblivion, knowing that most of the people here would gleefully hold her down to have a turn at hurting her.
The people walking around her, who weren't participating, only gave her sneers and looks of hatred while they provided the mob with subtle looks of envy, obviously wanting their own time to teach the demon brat a lesson with their weapons and fists, but the fear of what the enraged Hokage would do to them stopped their thoughts in their tracks.
Once she entered another street towards the outskirts of the village, Naruko quickly looked around as far as she could see and saw a massive fence holding a sign that stated in bold letters, 'KEEP AWAY, DANGER!'
Mentally comparing the warning of danger in front of her with the promise of beatings from the hands of Konoha villagers behind her, Naruko put on a burst of speed and went straight past the sign and fence. Upon the mob catching up to her, the young girl could hear most of the crowd stopping and only then did she realize that the forest she was in terrified them.
Her thoughts about if she should be scared of the large forest, were put on hold as the sounds of leaves slightly rustling still continued behind her. Chancing a look, Naruko's eyes widened as she spotted three very serious looking ninja. The one in front of the three with a tiger-like mask on her face that showed her spinning red eyes, allowing the girl to recognize the newest Anbu of her guard detail; while the other two, a man and a woman wore normal Jounin vests.
Naruko tried to swallow the new fear that sprang up as she turned and ran from her new pursuers, but was stopped as her foot caught onto a root. She was only able to turn her head slightly before she felt the impact of the hard ground. Her head fell against what felt like a large uprooted stone, but that was the only detail she was able to make out before her head realized that it had been hit.
Trying to sit up, Naruko's addled mind tried to make herself get up and flee her pursuers. But, she ultimately failed. She looked up with what were definitely unfocused eyes and saw the shinobi talking to each other, discussing what to do with her most likely. Inside, Naruko gathered herself for what was most likely going to be a very painful experience in her seventh year life. However, the feeling she had not been expecting was a sensation of being dragged in a direction.
It wasn't until she opened her eyes that she realized that they weren't heading back to the village, but deeper into the forest. The fear in her stomach made it revolt, prompting Naruko to struggle to keep her mounting sense of fear down. She didn't need to give these adults any more reason to be mad at her.
Even as she felt the dirt of the ground find its way in and onto her clothes, the little blonde could feel the beginnings of unconsciousness. The corners of her vision darkened as she was drug along to wherever they wished to begin the newest set of torture.
Naruko wholeheartedly welcomed the relief the enclosing darkness would give her with a small sigh of relief.
When she awoke again, it was with a start and Naruko immediately held onto her head to try to get rid of the headache that had wormed its painful existence into her mind. She got up and looked around trying to figure out where she had been tossed away this time, when she saw a large hole in the ground, right behind one of the larger trees.
Even though she had never been in this particular forest, the hole just had that vibe that it wasn't meant to be there for some reason, being way too circular and perfect to be a naturally made one.
'It looks like it went unnoticed by the temes,' she thought as she rubbed her messy blonde hair to ease the throbbing in her head. Feeling it subside a little, Naruko rose to her feet before limping over to the large hole and peeking into it, while trying not fall and hurt herself while simultaneously meeting her insatiable curiosity… Curiosity often times killed the cat after all…
The unnatural look to it had really made her mind go over hundreds of possibilities, wondering why such a hole exists. Popping her head down into it, Naruko thought she saw a bit of stray light coming from the bottom, leaning closer, she gasped as she lost her grip on the side of the hole as the edge broke away, letting her fall head first forward into the darkness.
After a brief episode of screaming, Naruko hit the ground with a loud thud, not helping her already aching body that was still sore from healing the injuries given to her by the Konoha shinobi.
Standing up and trying to shake off the stiffness that had accompanied her on the way down the hole, Naruko took note of her lit surroundings and letting her arms drop to her sides.
What she found before her was a massive room that had light sprayed across the room due to the torches that gave the feeling that they would never go out, there was a weird feeling Naruko got from staring at one of the torches, which had what looked like golden flames floating above the metal stick.
With the seemingly magical source of light, she immediately realized that she was surrounded by large bookcases, filled with thousands of books, all of which were covered with in a heavy layer of dust, giving the implied notion that this place hasn't been visited in a very, very long time.
Wondering why there would be this many books in a place like this, Naruko looked around the room and noticed a desk that had a single piece of incredibly old paper sitting on it silently. Feeling drawn to it as if the lone sheet was calling for her to come and read the words printed on its unwrinkled and tanned surface. She slowly walked over to the slip of parchment and started to read the words displayed on it.
To whomever is reading this,
My name is Levy McGarden; I would like to explain what you are most likely seeing now. You see, there once existed people who used a simple, yet devastating power called magic. This magic was easy to use and had many more uses that many could only dream about. Though, as I was saying, this power has been used for many hundreds of years, but slowly people stopped being able to use it. This alone caused distress, but the worst part about it was when, after everyone stopped being born with the ability to use magic, a great beast started terrorizing the land. This beast seemed to have be made of energy similar to Magic, but was different, it was much more dense than regular magic.
Thousands of people ran away in fear, and many were dying every day, but one day a man who went by the name of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also named the Sage of the Six Paths, our last and most powerful Wizard Saint rose up with a new type of energy called Chakra which, we learned, was what a colossal monster known as the Juubi or E.N.D, a beast with ten tails that once a man named Etherios Natsu Dragneel before his power was ripped away by his brother Zeref, was made up of. After a great battle, between the Sage and the monster, Hagoromo sealed the beast's power away inside himself to stop its rampage and sent its body to live inside the moon before he gifted the people of this war torn world with his power of utilizing Chakra. Magic, however, was not completely lost, my husband Gajeel Redfox and our remaining friends of Fairy Tail were trying to find a way to get their magic and original ancestry back and we found that this energy of Chakra was derived from the same basics that Earthland's magic had been formed from. My people, for many years, gathered a great deal of books on the different types of magic and tried to find a way to change their Chakra to Magic once more.
I helped my family and friends try to find a way to find magic once more, but now I am on my death-bed having helped my son, Metallicana Redfox, finish the Chakra converting technique that will gift people who have Chakra the ability to wield Magic instead. Whoever finds this place please help preserve the power of Magic and help restore the magic community once again bringing it back to its former glory that everyone shared, please help yourself to any of these magic books that will teach you the way to magic.
Sincerely yours, Levy McGarden-Redfox
Naruko was completely and utterly shocked by this revelation, even though she didn't understand some of the words that the letter had used, but she got the overall meaning. She had out of complete luck stumbled onto a massive trove of knowledge of potential power. She looked around the large room and thought about what she should do with it.
The young girl knew that, even though the nice old Hokage subtly tried to not let her find out, many things that were kept hidden from her. Some of these things included the fact that her beloved Jiji really did know who her parents were along with the fact that said parents were alive and why the people hated her.
She also knew about how she carried a half of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, though she had already been a pseudo-Jinchuuriki before the beast had been sealed into her belly, from spending all that time in the womb of her 'mother'. She had once been in her mind after one of the bigger beatings of her short life and what she had found was a big place filled with filing cabinets and other forms of information holders, which seemed to be her rather organized memory. As well as a massive cage behind all of those that had a massive dark colored fox inside it. Kurama, as she learned his name was, was actually nice to her after his first few tries to terrify her and after viewing some of her memories.
Also, through some spying and accidental finding in the Hokage's office while he was in a meeting, she had found a letter from her supposedly dead parents who were actually alive with Naruko's sister, Natsumi, saying that they hoped their plan of throwing off all the, hopefully nonviolent, anger onto Naruko in the place of Natsumi worked, since Naruko didn't have her mother's special chakra that was known for subduing another being's chakra. Then her father, the bastard Yondaime Hokage who had sealed the beast into her began to explain how they were going to begin Natsumi's training into using Kushina's special chakra and chains shortly.
That news had hit her hard along with the fact that Natsumi was also the Jinchuuriki for Kurama and her twin sister. Naruko then made it her goal to become stronger and show how powerful she was as she beat her sister and so called 'parents' into the ground and make them all beg for all of the mercy that Naruko was never shown.
She thought about it long and hard as she sat there in front of the surprisingly intact desk before she finally came to the decision that she would stay here in this cavern for as long as it took, to become strong and revitalize the magical world.
After experiencing the massive amount of pain from the chakra conversion seal that nearly knocked her out she could feel a great change as the energy flowing inside of her body became like a soothing river. She limped over to a large bookshelf to see what would interest her in learning.
She found herself quickly picking up two different books. "So there's stuff called Requip magic and something called Card Magic."
However as she put the books back on the shelf to see if anything else interested her, the young girl found herself drawn over to a bookshelf that was marked as 'S-class' by a tugging sensation in her head. Upon walking up to the shelf, she found herself looking through titles marked as 'Crash Magic', 'Titan Magic', 'Time Arc' and finally a book marked as 'Heavenly Body Magic' that held her attention like a delicious piece of candy before a spoiled child.
"What is Heavenly Body magic?" Naruko asked in child-like wonder as she pulled it down from the shelf and began leafing through the pages of the ancient book, before long the girl found herself seated at the lone desk as the words found in the book captivated her attention and she began her journey into the world of a magic capable of manipulating the stars themselves.
Hokage's Tower
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the man widely known as the Sandaime Hokage and one of the four Gods of Shinobi, was tearing his grey hair out over the disappearance of one Naruko Uzumaki, who he could not find at all in his crystal ball and the girl's adopted older sister Anko Mitarashi was running around Konoha and his office panicking in search of the little ball of sunshine.
The old Kage had always been terrified that this day would come, his adopted granddaughter didn't have the full capabilities in the domain of regeneration Jinchuuriki were known for since she only bore the Yin half of the beast that had attacked the village Hidden in the Leaves six years ago, unlike her 'unknown' sister who held the Yang half of the demon fox, but it still put a bit of a dampener on his former opinion of the civilians of Konohagakure and his shinobi.
He had stressed the point of not leaving Naruto to the mercies of a depressed and angry Konoha that were mourning the loss of their loved ones to Minato and Kushina before they left to raise the younger of the two twins, but did they listen? No-o-o! They just had to believe that their eldest daughter would be treated like a hero as Minato had asked, while they were off training their other daughter to control her half of the Kyuubi and Kushina's special sealing chakra.
He knew it would work out in the end, even if he had just lost another member of his family like his eldest son and wife, though when it was all over. He still couldn't get the chill out of his bones that meant something cataclysmic was going to be happening in the near future.
Three Weeks after Naruto's supposed death
Naruko was having a rather hard time; the young girl had only just begun reading the book on Heavenly Body Magic, written by a man named Jellal Fernandez who appeared to be the master of the Crime Sorcière guild and a former Wizard Saint, and she was already having problems with deciphering the material.
She was able to read the theory of using the magic quite easily, but getting into the frame of mind needed for the magic to actually work was a much harder task than she had expected it to be. She would be further along into her magic studies, but she had other studies and duties to perform. Her physical training that she had just begun learning in the academy to keep fit was a must while the problem of a constant supply of food and clean clothes was still a problem.
Naruko let out a small breath of air pass through her lips. She often did this to concentrate on a problem; it had always helped her come up with solutions for situations where there was no favorable method in sight. The breathing also calmed her down and if what she read in the Magical Theory book that was currently on the floor, it would help her during the meditation parts of her training. Naruko then sucked in another breath and wiped away everything in her mind except for her current magic problem.
After a few minutes of focusing, the blonde's eyes suddenly widened. She quickly darted up and out of her position on the floor and rushed over to the book on Heavenly Body magic with a new gleam of pure determination residing in her eye. With her thoughts on the promise she had made to the Magical World and the long since gone person named Levy, Naruko set out to master her chosen magic and defeat the fools that made up her biological family.
'I will never break my promises!'
As it was mentioned in the first time this was up, Naruko in this story will look like Kukaku Shiba from Bleach, only she keeps both arms intact and she turned her hair black through the use of the that hair, clothes, skin color magic box that you see in the first Fairy Tail episode. I have changed Naruko's magic from the original Lightning Dragon Slayer and Fire Demon Slayer magics to Lost Magic: Heavenly Body Magic, Transformation Magic, Requip Magic, Wind Magic, Rune Magic and the Three Great Fairy Spells which she will learn from the ghost of Mavis once she finds Tenrou Island which will be in the middle of Uzushiogakure in a large cavern.
Also in this story it won't just be Kushina and her daughter returning, Minato will be as well and they will have a younger daughter with them as well. The pairing I have thought up for Naruko so far is Tenten, who I intend to turn into a version of Erza. Last thing, slight Sasuke bash, not much because I have him learn the reason behind the massacre from Minato.
