Fairy Tail's Six Paths Sage Jinchuuriki
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Fairy Tail. Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail is owned by Hiro Mashima respectively. Certain elements of this story were inspired by other Naruto/Fairy Tail crossovers.
AN: Just heads up since Naruto is at the guild waiting for his mock Test the Guild Master meeting is pushed back till afterwards (so Makarov will be at the guildhall when Erza first shows up)
I am going to add this to my AN now. The harem is NOT set yet. Odds are none of the girls I plan to add will even be added till after the time skip as a lot of the girls who aren't 'frozen' by Fairy Sphere are too young! Just had to put that out there!
Please Review! I answer all of them except some of them that just says "good update" or "Update soon". Sorry for those people I missed but I feel a lot of writers don't answer any reviews. Correct me if I am wrong?
Also I skipped the Macao mission and the Maid job just cause I didn't want to write it and u don't Naruto would go on those jobs anyways. (he was with Mira last chapter at the time)
(I wrote this yesterday and today so please give me a break on short chapters ok?)
Chapter 6 Erza's first appearance!
Naruto and Mira arrived back into the guild to see Lucy angrily yelling at Natsu.
"I am done teaming up with you!" Lucy yelled angrily at a confused Natsu.
"What did I do?!" Natsu yelled back.
"Let see. You and Happy only took my on my last job because the flyer said 'wanted blonde maid'!" Lucy said indignantly while Happy snockered.
"Well it would've been worth it if you let me burn that book so we can collect the reward!" Natsu replied with Happy nodding his head.
"You idiots it didn't even matter as the client didn't have the money either way!" Lucy yelled before she smirked "Although I did get another golden key so I guess I can call it even." Lucy said as she lovingly stoked her new Golden Gate Key.
"Uh did we miss something?" Naruto asked confused as he sat down next to Lucy while Mira headed back to the bar.
"Naruto welcome back!" Lucy said cheerfully while Natsu gave Naruto a fist bump. "Yeah these idiots conned me into going on a 2 million jewel job after the Macao mission to destroy some book. However, the client was not rich at all so all I got was a Golden Key!" Lucy whined while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Well I think you would look beautiful as a maid Lucy." Naruto said without thinking as Lucy blushed.
"What?" She asked looking at him strangely as Naruto stuttered getting a laugh from Natsu.
"Anyways Mira and I completed our job without a hitch so it was all good on our end!" Naruto said with a thumbs up as Natsu grinned at him.
"Good for you but now I don't have enough for my 70,000 jewels rent this month!" Lucy whined as Naruto looked sympathetic. He was about to offer to pay at least a month rent due to the large amount he got on his A-class reward when he heard a shout.
"Wait a minute! Where do you live Naruto? I mean we heard Lucy rents a place nearby but we don't know you live." Cana yelled from across the guild. Naturally every eye went to Naruto who looked surprised.
"Yeah man you should not hide where you live from us." Gray said with a disappointed tone of voice.
"Well I…." Naruto started before getting interrupted.
"Guys hold up. He just got here 2 days ago and already went with a job with Mira-san. Maybe he hasn't had the time to get a place of his own." Levy reasoned as several people oohed.
"Well maybe he can stay with Lucy as they are both newbies?" Cana suggested suggestively wiggling her eyebrows as Lucy face turned scarlet and Naruto tilted his head.
"Living with a boy?! My landlord would never allow that or would raise the price even higher!" Lucy screamed before muttering "and I can barely afford it now…"
"Too bad the Fairy tail dormitory is only for girls so that's out." Levy said with a pout.
"You could bunk with Natsu and Happy but their place is a dump so it might be ideal." Gray noted with a superior smirk as Natsu butted heads with him.
"What did you say Ice Stripper?!" Natsu shouted.
Several people made suggestions as Naruto eyebrow twitched from not getting a word in. Luckily Lissanna noticed and spoke up. "Guys I think Naruto-Nii has something to say!"
This got everyone to quiet down as Naruto sighed and shouted "Ok I have a place in Magnolia so I don't need a place to stay!" Lucy however noticed something in his last phrasing.
"What do you mean 'have a place'? Don't you mean renting a place?" Lucy asked as it seemed like he owned property not renting like almost everyone here.
"Well I mean I have a house outside of Magnolia." Naruto clarified as everyone looked shocked at him.
"You mean built a house or like brought a piece of property." Laki asked as she knew of some wizards who could use wood magic to make simple houses.
"I mean I put a down payment on a place a year ago and it just finished getting built when I got here." Naruto said with a shrug. "It was like only 1,000, 000jewels for the down payment and like 100,000 per month afterwards for the renovations and building permits and stuff." He said as the guild looked gobstopped at him. (AN2)
"Are you telling me you spent over a million jewels on a house that is yours?" Lucy asked in pure shock anyone could have that kind of money lying around.
"Well yeah. I wanted a place of my own when I joined so I made a plan and stuck to it." Naruto said plainly still not getting what the big deal was.
"Uh… Naruto-kun how did you have the money in the first place to get the property?" Mira asked nicely as even she was curious.
"Look I have been a S-class wizard for 6 years." Naruto started as he heard some grumbling "Whether you believe me or not. So, I have been of hundreds of jobs and once you start saving you can get a lot for a purchase like a house of something." Naruto said wisely as Lucy looked awestruck at him.
"Could you actually save that kind of money for a house?" Jet asked Levy who looked thoughtful.
However, Wakaba was not convinced. "Hey look! Even if you did hundreds of jobs like you claim ho could you actually save enough jewels at once for a down payment of that size?!" Wakaba said in accusation ignoring the look sent by Makarov.
"Its easy when you an orphan and you have to learn to live on your own." Naruto said quietly as the guild gasped at the new information. This got some guilty expressions on most of the guild for accusing Naruto of somehow being spoiled and looks of sympathy and sadness from Mira and Lucy. Makarov looked sadly at the blonde remembering how Naruto skimmed over his life in the leaf.
"Look man I am sorry. We didn't mean to bringing up bad memories or anything." Gray said with a grimace as Naruto gave him a fake smile.
"Its ok. My parents died on the same day I was born so I don't have any real memories or anything to miss them by." Naruto said with a grin but sadness in his voice. This made the guild feel worst that Naruto was alone right from the beginning. "Hey no biggie after the fight I will even let anyone come over to check the place out!" Naruto said with a real smile as the guild was somewhat at ease again.
'Naruto you should not feel obliged to hide your pain from people who love you. Your family here will accept you for who you are no matter what I know it.' Makarov thought as he starred at Naruto.
Naruto grinned before he got on guard. "I sense a powerful magic power coming towards the guild." Naruto noted as he looked at Makarov. Mira only smiled when she recognized the signature while Lucy looked uneasy.
"Don't worry my boy its just another one of our S-class wizards coming back from her job." Makarov said with a chuckle as everybody heard loud boots clanking towards the guild hall.
"Erza I have become stronger fight me!" Natsu shouted excitedly having recognized her scent. He ran towards the door with a Fire Dragon Iron Fist all ready and fired up. All the guild could see was a metal first hit Natsu through the door to the guild and send Natsu flying back into the guild hitting a table and getting knocked through it.
"Natsu that is no way to greet a member of the guild when she enters." A stern voice chides as she entered the guild.
Naruto eyes widened as he briefly looked at the massive horn the woman was carrying but then focused on the woman. It was a young beautiful Scarlet Haired woman whose hair went to her lower back. She had bight brown eyes, a pretty face and slender yet endowered figure. She wore an armoured top hiding her chest but left her arms exposed along with metal gauntlets on each hand. She wore a blue skirt that ended at her lower thighs along with black boots that went to her knees. This was Erza-Scarlet the second youngest wizard to reach S-class status also famously known as Fairy Tail's Titania.
Naruto noticed her slender figure rivalling Mira and Lucy in beauty but the thing that instantly drew his attention was shiny beautiful red hair that reminded him of his mother. Although he did admit overall Erza Scarlet did seem to put effort into her hair then his mother did.
"Master I have returned." Erza said with a bow as she set her Trophy on the floor of the guild hall with a loud clank. Nobody in the guild wanted to answer her as they feared she would start yelling at them for their flaws like usual. However, Naruto was the exception.
"You have beautiful red hair." Naruto said loudly as he looked wide eyed at the S-class wizard. The guild turned to Naruto like he was both stupid and had a death wish.
"Oh? And you are?" Erza asked politely with a raised eyebrow as she turned her head towards the new Blonde wizard.
Naruto felt him get flustered when Erza's attention was on him so he could not answer. Luckily Makarov answered for him. "Erza welcome back! This one of our guild members Naruto Uzumaki! He is our newest S-class wizard!" Makarov introduced cheerfully as Naruto awkwardly waved at her. Erza felt confusion when she heard a majority of the guild grumble when Makarov mentioned S-class.
"S-class? I do not believe I was gone long enough for another S-class trial to pass…" Erza asked with confusion on how they got a new S-class wizard in the short time she was gone from the guild.
"I will explain inside my dear." Makarov told her as they walked into his office. As soon as the door closed the guild started talking loudly at the embarrassed blonde wizard.
"What are you doing?"
"Erza hates getting flirted with!"
"Naruto-kun you should explain yourself."
"You have guts kid I will give you that one."
"Haha youth these days have no filter control." Were just some of the voices he managed to hear among the talking.
Loke surprisingly decided to defend Naruto. "Guys I understand Naruto's position." As the guild gave him a weird look.
"You do?" Lucy gave Loki a dry look while she looked at Naruto sheepish face with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course, I do! I once tried to catch Lady Erza's heart once before and sadly I failed in my conquest as well. Harsh fate decided to give me her cruel hand!" Loke said dramatically as Naruto looked surprised.
"It means he flirted with Erza once so she punched him through the guild in response." Cana explained which dropped Naruto's respect for Loki down.
"Look I was not flirting!" Naruto yelled over the guild and they turned to him with a dry look. "It just her hair reminds me of my moms." Naruto said softly as he looked down at the floor.
This got the guild quiet and surprised as Lucy said softly "You mom?" with great sympathy.
"Yeah my mom Kushina Uzumaki!" Naruto said making a quick shadow clone that took the resemblance of his later mother. "And my dad Minato Namikaze!" He declared as another shadow clone popped up to his first one. Nobody realized he hadn't used magic as they were too transfixed at the appearance of Naruto's parents.
"Naruto looks like his dad." Happy noted their near identical appearances.
"Naruto's mom looks beautiful" Lucy added as Naruto just stared at his transformed clones with a sad expression.
Everyone else looked away as they thought Naruto must have great longing for his parents if they died the same day he was born.
"Master is it true about his parents?" Erza whispered quietly from the slightly open office door.
"Yes, it is. He never knew a parent's love so that is why I suspect he is so empathetic and happy all the time. He tries to fill the gap as best eh can with everyone he meets. In time I hope he can see the guild as family as well as that is what this guild was made for: a place for people who don't have family to find them with each other." Makarov said wistfully. Erza stared down at Naruto with newfound kinship as she grew up an orphan as well. They retreated back into the door as not to appear to be eavesdropping.
After a minute both shadow clones disappeared as Naruto sighed.
Levy however had a dying question. "Naruto if your parents were married why is your and her name Uzumaki not your fathers last name?" She asked with a confused look. The rest of the guild looked up in realization.
Much to their surprise Naruto chuckled and said "My Dad may have been the man but from what I hear my mom bossed him around! I heard she refused to change her identity to meet the norm and I was named after her because it was my mothers wish!" This got nods of respect from every female while the guys trembled wondering what kind of woman had that much control over her husband. (AN3)
Erza and Makarov decided to open the Door loudly as if they just finished an important discussion. Erza walked up to Naruto and looked at Lucy as well. "Hello Lucy and Naruto I am Erza Scarlet nice to meet you." Erza with a nod and warm smile making them both abit more at ease with the powerful wizard. "Master has told me you both joined 2 days ago so on behalf of the Master welcome to Fairy Tail!" She declared as the guild cheered. "Now Master has told me of Naruto's S-class status. Normally I would adhere to the Magic Council decision and Master but Master tells me a lot of members here disagree with this status unproven?" She asked with a sigh as the guild looked sheepish and away from her.
"I also wish to see how strong Naruto is so I accept the challenge of Naruto Uzumaki against me! It shall of course be not a fight tot the death by rather a test of skill and power." She declared as the guild roared in excitement as Naruto looked eagerly at Erza ready to test himself.
AN2: I don't how much a house would actually cost so go with it ok?
AN3: I changed it up a bit and had Naruto speak of them in a formal way since he doesn't think people will believe him if he says he met them as chakra spirits.
/Before anyone asks "Wait wasn't he on Tenrou Island at that time? How did he buy a house!" He never stayed on Tenrou full time, he was there a majority of the time, he left time to time and he simply never joined a guild before Fairy Tail. He was in Magnolia for the details of his new home but it was never close to the Guild hall so he had to find it himself in chapter 1 ok?!
I WAS going to do the fight this chapter but changed my mind as I want it to be fresh and good and half assed just to cram it in here. I used this to flush out some of Naruto's past and that way Naruto could start connecting more with the guild instead of just Mira and Lucy (the rest of the guild trust him abit more after hearing some of his past)
