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.
AN1: I am pretty sure I am keeping my word by trying to answer every review I get but simply ones like "great update" or "more" I think are implicit I read them and appreciate them.
ALSO I have thought this through and Naruto will NOT have an Edo counterpart(he was reborn in Earthland but Edolias did not create a "Naruto" to fill in the gap). Also the tailed beasts are still one fo kind so no Exceed version of them either.
-people I saw the mistake on chapter 1 with the year (and still getting people commenting it)… I don't repost chapters as the reviews stay on the site (and would make people confused if I changed it).

Chapter 12 Naruto is arrested?!
The group of seven got back to the guild hall without an incident although Naruto did have to endure Natsu yelling that Naruto was holding out on the guild which was not cool with him. Naruto just sighed and explained he didn't like using more force then needed as he knew what it was to be homeless. He told Natsu sharply that property damage hurt more then the guilds finances it destroyed actual people homes. This shut up Natsu while Erza and Makarov looked approvingly at him.
When they arrived home, it was full on celebration with every member drinking and partying.
"Welcome back everyone!" rang out the guild as everyone held a banner saying "Congratulations for not dying!" making both Lucy and Naruto sweatdrop.
Everyone separated into groups while Natsu looked eagerly at Erza.
"Erza its time to fight!" Natsu begged lighting up his hands with fire.
"First we eat and then we fight." Erza said calmly trying to walk past the annoyed dragon slayer.
"No! We fight now! You promised!" Natsu said heatedly but quickly shrunk back when Erza gave him a glare.
"Natsu I am hungry right now." Erza said with annoyance.
"Yes maam." Natsu said meekly stepping aside as Erza walked to Mira to order her favorite strawberry cake.
Naruto had sat on a table with just Lucy who him gave a chuckle as he just slurped up his ramen which he didn't know was made by Mira specially for him. He didn't know that Erza told Mira for his fondness for ramen and she had brought speciality ingredients for his return. "Wow this taste great! Maybe the best food I have ever had!" Naruto exclaimed in happiness as Mira with her back to him sighed in happiness.
"Uh Naruto?" Lucy asked nervously shuffling around her feet as Naruto gave her his attention.
"Uh what's up Lucy?" Naruto asked finishing the noodles on his chopsticks.
"I just wanted to thank you for what you did for me back there." Lucy said softly as she felt guilty, she could not even get him a gift as thanks. Despite what people thought she did not have a huge clothes budget or a lot of jewels to spend. She had basically enough for food and rent with the jobs she had done so far.
"Hey don't worry about Lucy." Naruto reassured with a grin making her blush at his rugged good looks. "How about when we settle in, I take you on a harder job so we can get more jewels together?" Naruto offered having guessed about Lucy's financial situation. Honestly with the amount he had he didn't really need jewels but he knew Lucy would not take charity so this was the next best thing.
Lucy beamed as they stared into each others eyes. Luckily nobody was paying attention to the blondes as everyone focus on Erza and Natsu. Erza was savoring every bite of her strawberry cake while Natsu kept desperately to get Erza to hurry up with him several times almost knocking the cake over to the guild's amusement. The only one to pay attention to Lucy and Naruto's table was Mira who frowned guessing that Lucy had gotten closer to Naruto during the Eiseinwald incident. She sensed another rival for Naruto's attention.
After Erza finally finished eating, she accepted Natsu's challenge as the guild cheered. Everyone walked out back to the same battleground where Erza and Naruto fought earlier as Natsu and Erza prepared to fight.
"Step right up to place your bets! Erza or Natsu? Titania or Salamander!" Cana announced as everyone started hurrying to place their bets.
"500 jewels on Erza!" Happy announced as Lucy looked surprised.
"You're betting against your best friend?!" Lucy asked in shock.
"Why not? Erza is going to cream the floor with Natsu anyways." Gray said drily as once again he was down to his boxers.
"Uh Gray your clothes." Lissanna remarked as Gray freaked out.
"But won't this be bad having another of Fairy Tail strongest wizards fight each other?" Lucy asked freaked out as everyone gave her confused looks.
"Strongest wizards? Who told you that Natsu and Erza were our strongest wizards?" Gray asked with slight mocking in his voice.
Lucy pointed to a sad Lissanna as Gray looked awkward. "I just meant they are powerful." Lissanna said sadly as everyone turned to Gray with an annoyed look.
"Gray I hope have prepared your funeral." Mira threatened with a dark look until Lissanna calmed her down.
"Look Natsu is a pretty powerful kid but he is not in Erza's league." Elfman commented as Wakaba and Macao nodded.
"Erza along with Mira are definitively our strongest female wizards." Levy declared as her teammates nodded eagerly.
"But for most powerful men. Well that's a toughie. Nobody really knows how powerful Mystogan is but I think Laxus or Gildarts would take that honour." Wakakba said thoughtfully.
"How about Naruto? He's S-class too." Lucy piped up as everyone looked conflicted.
"Honestly Lu-chan we haven't seen the full power of Naruto but a fight between him and Gildarts or Laxus would be pretty exciting." Levy told her as everyone attention went back to Natsu and Erza who had begun fighting.
Natsu had began swinging his fists with Fire Dragon Slayer magic at Erza who elegantly dodged with her fighting back with a sword. She swung her sword at Natsu who leapt back and shouted "Fire Dragon Roar!"as he spewed out a breath of fire at Erza. Erza jumped straight into the air to dodge.
"Requip!" Erza shouted as a light appeared around her. Once it vanished, she was in a new armour. She had orange and red coloured armour appear on her body. Her hair was in two high Pigtails with 2 black clippings holding them into place. She had two loose strands hanging by her ears while she wore an orange and black neck choker. She wore an orange, red and black breast plate that exposed some of her cleavage and ended barely covering her crotch while leaving her arms bare. She wore separate fur covered gauntlets on each arm that covered halfway up her arms and her hands. She wore armour on her legs that left a patch of skin visible between her bottom of her breast plates and top of her leggings revealing a patch of thighs.
"That's her Flame Empress Armour which allows her 50% resistance to all fire-based magic. She's got this in the bag." Macao said happily as he would not be losing twice in a row.
Naruto whistled in appreciation at both the properties of the armour along with its colouring. "Man she must have an armour for everything! Colour me impressed." Naruto praised as Mira narrowed her eyes at her rival getting such high praise.
After she requipped the fight continued with Erza being less focused on defence and Natsu struggling to keep up. Naruto estimated that soon Erza would end up being the winner as now she could ignore the damage and focus on pure offense with the armour protecting her.
"Stop this fight this instant!" a loud voice yelled as everyone paused to see a frog like woman in council robes walk to the guild with a clap of her hands. "As representative of the Magic Council I am here to take Naruto Uzumaki to the council to explain the incident of the Einseinwald incident in person." She announced as everyone turned to Naruto who sighed.
"Should've expected it." Naruto said calmly walking up without a fight.
"Naruto will you be ok?" Makarov said in a worried voice as Naruto waved his hand lazily.
"Continue the fight and tell me how it ends. I will be back before you know it." Naruto told the members as he entered the carriage without a fuss.
Several hours later they arrived in Era with Naruto waiting until it was his turn to enter the council room. When he entered, he saw he all 9 members of the head of the magic council there although there were pixelated.
"Hmm… Thought projects how nice it must be not to even be here for my trial." Naruto said mockingly as several members glared at him.
"You brat! You will treat us with respect!" A member Naruto didn't know sneered at him as Naruto just picked lint out off his coat.
"Enough of this foolishness!" Org the Chairmen yelled as the members settled down. "Naruto Uzumaki you have been called to the council to explain your actions during the Lullaby incident. While it has pointed out there was no collateral damage Fairy Tail still went after a dark guild without authorization. What say you to that?" Org asked with heat as Naruto glared right back.
"We did what anyone should have done. Saved lives and if that means we have to do decisive actions I would gladly do it again." Naruto declared as several members glared at him. "Would you rather the guild Masters all perish while we waited for approval for an issue the Magic council could not handle?" Naruto asked with a mocking smile as the glares intensified.
To his surprise he heard laughter and a giggle from two members. "Naruto Uzumaki does have a point. The actions of Fairy Tail prevented lost of life and it is true that our rune knights may not have been enough to stop the issue." Siegrain remarked as Naruto gave him an uneasy look. Naruto remembered him as Jelall twin bother although he still sensed something off with his magic power.
"I believe that issue should be put to rest no?" Ultear suggested with a sultry smile on her plump lips. Ultear was attractive female wizards just slightly older than Naruto who wore a provocative white top exposing some of her chest. Despite her pretty looks Naruto sensed deception around her like an aura.
"Sigh. Very well we can ignore the bash actions of Fairy Tail this time." Org said reluctantly as the other members grumbled. "Naruto Uzumaki what happened to the Lullaby flute? It disappeared and was not retrieved after the fight." Org asked Naruto sharply as Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out the broken halves of Lullaby with gasps being heard.
"You mean this?" Naruto asked rhetorically as shouts were once again heard.
"Blasphemy! Destroying council property like that is a crime."
"Lock him up!"
"How dare he?!"
"He is out of control!"
"Naruto Uzumaki explain yourself at once!" Org demanded with a barely controlled rage.
"I stopped Lullaby and made sure it could not be used by any more dark guilds ever again." Naruto explained slowly as if talking to small children making the magic council even more outraged.
"Why would you destroy it completely when we could simply reseal it away after the demon was defeated?" Siegrain decided to ask resting his face into his hands.
"Why would you keep it intact?" Naruto asked furiously and before anyone could retort he continued. "This whole mess started when dark wizards broke the seal and planned to use it on innocent people. The way I see it by destroying the flute completely it can never be used again and you don't have to worry about sealing it up again." Naruto told them coolly.
"It is not any wizard's decision to make on what happens to the tools!" a member yelled at him as he glared back.
"What about the King?" Naruto asked with a sadistic grin seeing the horrified looks on most members of the council. "I am sure he would love to hear how his Magic Council would rather seal away a dangerous object and risk it being used on the public rather then destroying the evil magic outright hmm?" Naruto asked enjoying the looks on the old cronies' face. As much as they hated it, they knew the King would dismiss them if it looked like they were more worried about power and public imagine then keeping security around Fiore.
"No charges. You are free to go now." Org said gritting his teeth as Naruto gave a mock bow.
"Don't bother sending a carriage I am sure I can run home myself. I am sure your poor old backs would need them more." Naruto said with a mock as every hologram except Ultear and Siegrain vanished.
"Naruto Uzumaki send my regards to Erza for me, would you? I hear she has gotten rather pretty recently." Siegrain told him making Naruto narrow his eyes in protectiveness. Something about Jellall and Siegrain made him on edge.
"Naruto I would like a word if you would?" Ultear asked with a pleasing, seductive but dangerous smile as Siegrain gave her an amused look.
"No thanks. You look pretty but have lips like a dangerous snake." Naruto told her with a glare as he walked off.
Ultear eyes narrowed as she thought 'Can he see through my mask?' Most boys become putty when I smile at them but he looked me in the eye and warned me off.'
Siegrain laughed and told her "Haha Naruto Uzumaki told you off good." Ultear gave a dry laugh as Siegrain once again went over 'his' plan with her. Little did he know he was nothing but a pawn in her plans.
Naruto ran home at a casual pace arriving back in Magnolia town in just under an hour as he walked back into the guild halls with a grin. "Miss me guys?" He asked as everyone ran up to him.
"How was it my boy?" Makarov asked in concern knowing the Magic Council would use any excuse to blame them.
"Free of all charges!" Naruto told him smugly as the guild cheered. "So how did the fight end? Who won?" Naruto asked everyone as everyone looked at the annoyed Natsu who had a lump on his head.
"Well after you left Erza decided to call the fight off to wait for you. As you can see Natsu didn't take it well and Erza wasn't happy for his defiance." Lucy explained as Erza sent him a warm smile.
'I don't care what that Siegrain wants with Erza. I will protect her and everyone else no matter what.' Naruto thought in determination as he smiled back at Erza. 'But first I gotta find a job for me and Lucy to do so she can get some more money in her savings.' Naruto mused as the party continued.
Suddenly a wave on tiredness hit Naruto and every member of Fairy Tail. Naruto magic reserves and chakra prevented him from falling asleep but he could detect the magic trying to influence him.
"Here it comes again." Makarov said with a sigh as every member except himself and Naruto fell asleep.
Naruto eyes widened when he saw Lucy about to crash her head on the table, Mira about to fall face first into the bar table and Erza about to fall out of her chair. Making two seal less shadow clones he quickly grabbed Lucy into his arms and sent a clone to Erza and Mira in less then a moment. They grabbed the S-class wizards into their arms and quickly ran back to Naruto's table setting the girls gently besides Naruto and Lucy at their table before dispelling. Naruto gently set Lucy across from him in a comfortable position as Makarov sent him a grateful smile. Little did they know a blonde man on the second floor was watching this with an intrigued look and savage grin on his face.
"Master who is this man?" The new man covered in a mask and a cloak that hid his entire body asked. The only noteworthy thing about him was a wooden staff he carried in his right hand.
"Mystogan meet Naruto Uzumaki our newest S-class wizard." Makarov told him while Naruto have him a wary look. After a moment Mystogan nodded before taking a job request with his left hand and started walking away.
"I shall be back again." Mystogan told his master blankly.
"Wait undo your sleeping spell first." Makarov told him sternly.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1." Mystogan counted as he was gone by the time 1 was said and everyone woke up groggily.
"Dammit not again." Gray complained rubbing the sleepiness out of his eyes. Erza and Mira looked around confused sure they were not at Naruto's table before they slept.
"What was that?" Lucy asked in annoyance.
"Mystogan supposedly shows up once in awhile but puts everyone to sleep so no one besides Master has ever seen his face." Cana explained until they heard laughter from above.
"I have seen his face. Mystogan is just a bit shy." A blonde-haired man with eyephones said.
"Laxus." Natsu glared as Laxus just smiled cockily from the second floor.
"Of course, new blondie there was awake too. He even put Erza and Mira in a nice position before they slept. Isn't that nice?" Laxus mocked as everyone turned to Naruto who glared at Laxus. Something about his attitude just made Naruto on edge.
"I hear you beat Erza newbie. Don't think that's anything to brag about as I am Fairy Tail strongest wizard not her!" Laxus declared as Naruto stepped up towards Laxus. Erza gripped her fist angrily. She had no problem losing a fight to Naruto who fought her but to be mocked by Laxus set her on edge.
"Laxus come down here and fight me!" Natsu yelled with fire ignited.
"Come up here and fight unless you're not ready yet?" Laxus retorted mockingly. Natsu yelled ready to punch Laxus until Makarov massive enhanced fist pinned him down.
"No, you are not allowed up there yet Natsu." Makarov said sternly.
"How about you blondie? Ready to play with the big boys?" Laxus asked pointing at an infuriated Naruto.
"I don't care what you have to say about me but when you mock my friends you go to far!" Naruto yelled as wind gathered his hand while Laxus gathered lightning around his. Everyone stood on edge as the tension rose between the two S-class blonde wizards. It looks like a fight was going to occur until Makarov went full giant form after letting Natsu go.
"There will be no fighting between S-class wizards without my say so!" Makarov declared as Naruto and Laxus glared at each other. After a tense moment they deactivated their magic while Laxus walked away with a grunt.
"Doesn't matter anyways. When I become Master, I will get rid of all the weaklings either way." Laxus promised as he walked out the doors.
"Who's that jerk?" Lucy asked with a pout crossing her arms above her chest.
"That's Laxus Dreyar. The master's grandson." Mira said with a sigh as Lucy gave her an incredious look.
"How can that jerk be related to Master Makarov? They are nothing alike!" Lucy asked in shock as Mira gave a giggle while Naruto suppressed a smile. He remembered Old Man Six paths telling him that children do not always inherit the strengths of their parents so he assumed it stood to reason personalities did not get passed on through generations.
"What did Laxus mean when he said he was going to be Master?" Lucy asked as Mira and Erza looked down. "You're not really telling me that jerk will be guild master one day?" Lucy asked a little afraid.
"Sadly, Lucy Laxus is likely the next in line if something happens to the Master." Mira acknowledged sadly as Lucy gasped and Naruto frowned. He knew some of the Hokages were related or at least taught by one of the others but he didn't think it was right that Laxus should become Master just because he was Makarov's grandson.
"Don't worry too much about it Lucy. We should instead be looking for a new job soon." Erza said soothingly pointing at the job board on the first floor as Lucy looked confused.
"Why can't we go for the ones on the second floor?" Lucy asked in confusion as Erza sighed.
"You see those jobs up there are S-class or higher so only S-class wizards can take them. They are much more dangerous but the pay is worth more." Mira explained as Lucy gulped.
"Yeah I think I am fine. No amount of jewels is worth my life." Lucy said in a depressed voice as the S-class wizards gave her a laugh.
"In our guild we have 6 and 3 of them are at this table!" Mira said excitedly as Erza and Naruto smirked.
"Well anyways I think I will turn in as the last couple of days have been so exhausting! Bye everyone!" Lucy announced as she waved to everyone and walked out the guildhall. Soon everyone started going back tot heir homes with nobody noticing Natsu and Happy looking at the second-floor door with evil grins.
Naruto grumbled to himself as he thought that Laxus would be trouble in the future if his attitude was anything to go by. Little did he know his own teammates would be more a drag the next morning.
As soon as he walked out and nobody was looking, he teleported using the Harashin jutsu into his house. Due to being the seal and barrier creator he was the only one who could teleport into his own home. He cooked himself a quick meal and went to sleep unbeknownst to him thinking of a certain blonde, model and even knight in his dreams that he forgot the next morning.
AN: So I finished off the Lullaby arc now! I decided to have Naruto steal the flute so there would be a legit reason the magic council would arrest him (as he didn't destroy anything), The flute is back in the magic council hands but now useless so they are annoyed their 'authority' is being ignored. Org is also not happy Naruto us with the most troublesome guild. Hope you like the update! (hint for next chapter-remember Naruto is S-class. Important clue on Naruto's role)
Naruto doesn't follow Lucy around like a lost puppy (he missed her first 2 jobs after all) plus he could do almost any job by himself but he is not a loner so he ok helping out instead of going on solo jobs.
