Chapter 28 Naruto the Sky Dragon Slayer
Over the course of the next several Days Naruto and Wendy continued to train Wendy to use offensive type spells for her Sky Dragon magic.
"Ok Wendy-chan lets see what you can do with a roar. Remember the goal is not find a mix so you can do a Roar that doesn't exhaust all your magic power at once and allows you to charge it quick enough you don't need several minutes to charge it. Sky magic is best used to blow someone away rather than straight up damage unlike other kind of roars." Naruto told her patiently as Wendy looked rather disappointed her Roar seemed 'lacking' compared to the destruction Naruto's Lightning Dragon Roar did to the training dummies in training.
Wendy nodded her head in understanding as she took a breath "Sky Dragon Roar!" Wendy yelled as she released a shout. The Roar produced was far weaker than the one she produced when she used all her magic power in the first training day but a great improvement from the breeze, she produced on her first try. The torrent of wind flew at the training dummies causing them to topple over from the force.
Wendy took a deep breath but looked relatively fine from the training. Wendy looked up with a blush when Naruto clapping from behind her alerted her to his pride in her.
"Well done Wendy-chan! You have improved greatly after only a few days of training. I knew my cutr student would get it!" Naruto said proudly grinning when Wendy turned red and started to look at her feet nervously.
"Its all thanks to your training Naruto-sensei." Wendy said modestly as Naruto shook his head walking up to her and patting her head. Wendy pouted cutely when he ruffled her hair making him laugh.
"Nah. A teacher can only go so far. Any student who puts in the effort can surpass the power of the so called 'geniuses. Wendy-chan I know with effort you will go far." Naruto told her honestly as Wendy put her hands on her cheeks in embarrassment.
'Naruto-sensei's praise feels so good.' Wendy thought to herself. She remembered how she loved getting praise from Grandeeny but somehow this was different. She had not quite realized she had quickly developed a hero worship/crush on her kind teacher. AN2:
"Besides between you and me I rather like your magic better than my friends Natsu's." Naruto told her much to her confusion as they sat down on a large couch.
"Natsu-san?" Wendy asked as Naruto chuckled thinking of his pink haired dragon slayer teammate.
"Natsu Dragneel. He is one of my teammates from Fairy Tail. You might have known him as 'The Salamander of Fairy Tail." Naruto told her as Wendy eyes shone in recognition. Naruto sweatdropped as Wendy brown eyes seemed to light up.
"Wow you are friends with the famous Salamander! That is so cool Sensei!" Wendy said in true amazement. AN3:
"Hehe." Naruto said nervously rubbing his head as Wendy turned back to confusion. "Well Natsu is famous because he destroys things with his Fire Dragon Slayer magic constantly. Matter of a fact at least half of Fairy Tail revenue goes into paying off the destruction he causes on jobs." Naruto said with a sigh as Wendy looked bewildered.
"That's horrible!" Wendy said as Naruto chuckled shrugging his shoulders.
"Eh. It's the Fairy Tail way. My guild is full of people with rowdy and unique quirks but we are a family at the heart of it all. They are nice people once you accept their quirks." Naruto said with a soft smile as Wendy smiled too.
Wendy grew a sly smile as she asked "How about you sensei? Do you have any quirks?" Wendy asked as Naruto gaped at her forwardness.
Naruto coughed claiming "Nah. I am pretty normal. Unlike some people I have control over my magic so I don't need to cause collateral damage as part of the job." Wendy nodded her head in understanding.
However, the Tailed Beasts inside of him had different thoughts.
"No quirks except being ramen obsessed." Kurama commented.
"Incredibly reckless." Gyuki added.
"No idea what to do with girls." Matatabi claimed with a sigh as Naruto felt his eyebrow twitch.
'Shut up!' Naruto thought angrily as he ignored the tailed beasts laughs at his expense.
Naruto smiled at Wendy who looked eager to continue training.
"Ok another basic Dragon Slayer technique is to gather your Slayer magic into your hand and keep it to increase the strength of a punch." Naruto lectured. Wendy expression turned serious as she listened to her senior Dragon Slayer.
Naruto and Wendy walked to the edge of the room as Naruto snapped his finger. This caused the room to make the furniture to disappear and instead the room filled with stone dummies who looked like they were in battle poses.
"Watch carefully Wendy-chan. You simply call your magic to your hand and punch with it focusing on the magic to stay stable. Lightning Dragon Thunder Punch!" Naruto yelled as Blue electricity gathered around his right hand. He swiftly punched a stone dummy in the head. The dummy exploded into a pile of dust before a massive explosion happened. Dust surrounded the room as Wendy braced herself from behind Naruto. She put her hands over her face to protect it from the dust. AN4:
Naruto smiled before waving his hand as Sky Devil magic filled the room. The dust vanished as Wendy looked forward with her mouth open in shock. The room was now filled with debris of destroyed stone dummies. She had not counted beforehand but she guessed there was at least several dozen beforehand.
"Suigo! With a single attack Naruto-sensei destroyed them all!" Wendy said in awe as Naruto just smiled at her enthusiasm.
"Its not that impressive." Naruto said modestly before adding "Lighting Dragon Slayer magic is rather offensive in nature so dummies like these are nothing."
Naruto clapped his hands as the room 'reset itself'. The destroyed dummies vanished and the room cleaned itself using the power of magic.
Wendy once she got over her awe looked at Naruto seriously making Naruto look at her seriously.
"Ok sensei now I am going to teach you Sky Dragon Slayer magic." Wendy declared as Naruto looked shocked before unexpectantly he picked up Wendy and hugged her tightly.
"You wont regret this!" Naruto promised as Wendy looked an interesting blend of blue from lack of air and red from embarrassment as Naruto sheepishly set her down.
"Sorry about that." Naruto apologized as Wendy caught her breath. "So how does this work?" Naruto asked as Wendy looked thoughtful.
"Hmm give me your hand sensei. I want to test something." Wendy asked as Naruto blinked before reaching his hand in front of hers.
Wendy closed her eyes as she held Naruto's hands with both of hers as Naruto waited patiently.
Green Sky Dragon magic appeared in Wendy's hands and surrounded Naruto hand. Naruto looked at the magic with awe missing Wendy expression turn confused.
'Sensei.. You…' Wendy thought to herself as she opened her eyes and looked conflicted for a moment.
Naruto snapped at his thoughts as he looked at Wendy with concern. "Wendy-chan is something the matter?" Naruto asked with worry clear in his voice.
Wendy blinked before shaking her head. She gave a bright smile before saying. "Its nothing Sensei. Before we go on I want to test using a punch full of Sky Dragon magic ok?".
Naruto his disappointment and confusion before nodding. "Sure Wendy-chan whatever you want." Naruto told her as he snapped his finger causing a single stone dummy to appear in the middle of the room.
Wendy looked at the stone dummy before blue Sky Dragon magic enveloped her right fist. Wendy ran towards the dummy with her hand cocked and ready. "Ha!" Wendy yelled punching the Stone dummy. Naruto expected the dummy to crack or at least shake abit but what happened shocked him.
"AAHHH!" Wendy yelled in pain as an ugly crack could be heard as her wrist somehow twisted and cracked from the impact. She fell to the floor in pain as her right hand fell to the floor twisted.
"WENDY-CHAN!" Naruto yelled as he ran towards Wendy and less than an instant. Naruto cradled Wendy who looked on the brink of falling unconscious as Naruto mind raced a mile a second.
'Dammit what do I do? Sky Dragon Slayers cannot use their magic to heal themselves unlike Sky God Slayers so Wendy-chan can't heal this on her own. I don't have healing magic! If I try to reset it might make it worst! What do I do?' Naruto thought frantically as Wendy started to lose consciousness from the pain.
"Stay with me Wendy-chan! It will be ok!" Naruto yelled trying to reassure the younger girl. 'Dammit! I have no choice! I gotta use that!' Naruto thought to himself in determination as he stared at his right palm while his left cradled Wendy carefully.
"Naruto-sensei." Wendy whispered as Naruto snapped back to Wendy.
"Wendy-chan! Save your strength I am going to help you!" Naruto promised but to his shock Wendy smiled despite the pain.
"Sensei. Look you did it." Wendy said proudly as Naruto was confused until he looked down and saw blue magic that mimicked Wendy's Sky Dragon Slayer magic in his hands. AN5:
"This can't be! This is!" Naruto said in shock before he quickly grabbed Wendy's broken wrist with his right hand covered in blue magic. To his shock and relief Wendy eyes fluttered open and she let out a giant sigh of relief as the magic started to heal her wrist slowly.
"Sensei. I knew you could do it." Wendy said proudly as Naruto was still in shock with what was happening.
"Wait what?" Naruto asked with his mouth wide open as he continued to gently hold him in his arms carefully.
"Congratulations. You are now a Sky Dragon Slayer like me." Wendy declared as Naruto continued to look too shocked to say anything as Wendy just continued to smile.
"But… You didn't…. I didn't…" Naruto said unable to grasp how he suddenly manifested Sky Dragon magic out of nowhere.
"Sensei. You looked cute when you are confused." Wendy blurted out with a giggle. Wendy was too giddy to realize what she said while Naruto was still too shellshocked to take it seriously.
Naruto looked rather comical as he continued to look at his hands which was covered in Sky Dragon magic and switch to Wendy giant smile.
"Wendy-chan are you alright?!" Naruto asked once he got his bearings straight while Wendy nodded still relaxing in Naruto arms but no longer with an expression of pain.
"Thanks to you Sensei." Wendy told her serenely as Naruto looked confused.
"But I didn't do Anything." Naruto insisted as Wendy shook her head.
"You healed me with Sky Dragon magic even now." Wendy said matter of factly as Naruto still looked uncertain.
"But how could I have done that! I have never been able to produce Sky Dragon magic before and you haven't started teaching me yet!" Naruto insisted as Wendy gave him a sad smile to his confusion.
"I didn't need to teach you anything Sensei." Wendy told him as Naruto eyes widened.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! What are you saying?" Naruto asked in shock.
"I am saying made the magic appear yourself." Wendy revealed as she looked Naruto straight in the eyes. AN6:
"That's impossible!" Naruto said in denial as Wendy gave him a look of understanding.
"Naruto-sensei. When I used Sky Dragon magic before on your hands, I was testing to see what your magic looked like." Wendy explained as Naruto nodded as he suspected something like that. "Do you know what I saw when I looked at your magic core?" Wendy asked.
"Hmm Lightning Dragon Slayer magic?" Naruto asked as Wendy rolled her eyes playfully.
"Yes, and other magics as well. But I also saw a core so familiar and I realized it was like my own." Wendy revealed as Naruto connected the dots.
"Wait! You mean?" Naruto asked shocked to his core.
"Your magic core was capable of Sky Dragon magic before I had to do anything." Wendy revealed as Naruto looked around in denial.
"Then WHY? Why if I could produce Sky Dragon magic before did Wind Dragon magic come out?!" Naruto asked desperately as Wendy closed her eyes wishing she could wash away her teachers' pain.
Wendy took her wrist out of Naruto's hands despite his protests to show it was fully healed. Wendy pulled away only to sit a foot away from the blonde so she could look up at him directly in the eyes.
"Sensei why did you want to learn Sky Dragon magic? You have more offensive type magic than mine." Wendy pointed out as Naruto blinked.
"I wanted to be able to heal people." Naruto admitted as Wendy gave him an approving nod.
"Grandeeny was the closest thing to a Kaa-chan for me so she taught me her magic. Looking back, I think healing is what I wanted too." Wendy said with a look remembering her childhood with her foster mother. Naruto smiled at the girl as she looked back up at him.
"Naruto-sensei. I have to ask you this and I need an honest answer not matter what it is." Wendy told Naruto with a complete serious expression as Naruto blinked but nodded.
"Of course." Naruto said seriously wondering where this was going.
Wendy looked at him directly in the eyes and with complete bluntness she asked "Before you healed me in your heart you thought you could never heal anyone right?" Wendy asked as Naruto eyes widened to giant proportions.
"What? How could you say that?" Naruto asked hurt as Wendy still looked at him with an unreadable expression.
Wendy sighed and said with sadness "Magic is a reflection of one's heart. It is neither good nor evil. That is what Grandeeny taught me." Naruto nodded hearing something similar from Mavis. "So the fact you produced Sky Dragon magic for awhile now but unable to use it means it must mean it was a mental barrier." Wendy looked at Naruto who looked shocked at this explanation.
"That can't be! I wanted to heal for so long! Why would I want to not be able to heal if I want to use it ore than anything?" Naruto asked desperately as Wendy looked straight into his eyes.
"I think deep in your heart you thought to yourself 'I will never be able to heal no matter what I do.'. So your physical abilities allowed you to heal but your mental barriers you put on yourself locked up the magic and you created a magic Wind Dragon in response to those barriers you did not know you had." Wendy guessed as Naruto gasped before he looked away. AN7:
'All this time have I the problem? Did I believe I was incapable of learning healing magic and my magic responded?' Naruto thought to himself in anguish at the realization he created a problem he was not aware of.
"But wait. If those barriers existed and blocked me from using Sky Dragon magic no matter how much I tried why did it appear today?" Naruto asked Wendy who smiled at him.
"Because Sensei. When the stakes were high you did what you needed to do and the magic responded to that need." Wendy said simply as Naruto connected the dots.
"Wait! You mean hurt yourself on purpose knowing I would be able to heal you?" Naruto said with a slight accusation as Wendy nodded. AN8:
"Of course, Sensei. I did not make that screw up by accident." Wendy said as if it was super obvious.
"That's so irresponsible Wendy! What if I couldn't do it huh? How could you put so much faith in me?" Naruto demanded worried rather than angry at this deceit.
Wendy smiled simply as she shyly leaned up to him and said "Because you trusted me and believed in me. So, I chose to do the same." Wendy eyes fluttered as she fell asleep against Naruto. Naruto just pulled her close and smiled. He was beyond touched at her belief in him.
'If there is a God here. Thank you for letting me meet this little girl who changed my life forever.' Naruto thought as he just let Wendy sleep peacefully against him.
AN2: I know this sounds like the 'big brother' complex canon Wendy seems to have for Natsu but by the time of the GMG (not saying when) it will develop into a true love for Naruto. (especially since she won't be 12 anymore).
AN3: Wendy may be ridiculously mature for her age and everything but she still a child so she can be forgiven for having teen like moments.
AN4: I SUCK at making up original names for magic. (I try to use canon names when possible). Remember Naruto is a FIRST Generation dragon Slayer unlike Laxus so he names his attacks differently sometimes.
AN5: Bet you didn't see this twist huh? This could have gone several ways but I thought this was the way I wanted it to go. If people complain so be it.
AN6: I will explain it more in this chapter but the inspiration came from Smallville season 10 finale. Jor-El reveals Clarke ability of Flight was locked behind a mental barrier he created for himself. Jor-El even implied that Clarke without that mental barrier could have flown much sooner like Kara did. (Kara instantly flew in her season 7 premiere and Jor-El tells Clarke heactually has all the powers she did)
AN7: Before you ask. The Tailed Beasts did not know about those barriers he put up. Naruto spent his entire life in the EN unable to heal (he does not count sharing chakra or 'restoring life force-six paths powers- as 'healing') and that experience carried over when he learned magic. That 'trauma' left a scar on his heart which made it impossible to use the magic he already carried. Best explanation I can give.
AN8: Trust is the strongest feeling outside of love. In my opinion at least.
