The World's Continuation
Hello everyone and welcome to another chapter! I am trying to get my Rising of a Shield Hero Story going since I am trying to veer off from the story a bit. As I am seeing some people not liking me in the beginning following the main story. As well as some of Naruto's actions of whatever, not dissuade to continue, I will be continuing. Just need some time to figure out what I want to do. As well as try to begin wrapping up my Quintessential Quintuplet x Naruto story too. I held it long enough, I need to get back to it! With that said, let me get to answering some reviews.
I have been seeing a lot of people liking Naruto use Killer B's acrobat style. Which I think is a cool thing for Naruto to use. I in fact have looked things over, and I don't think it be a huge problem is Cana joined Naruto's harem. As I am keeping it within Fairy Tail, sorry still no Ultear, Hisui, or even Miyuki, a character I introduced earlier.
Now before I continue to the next review, I just want to say. I really want to give this Naruto a true personality. One abet is different from his alternate self, as you all can see he had some different views when it came to goals. Ones that were reachable and achievable, and ones that should have been abandoned. Naruto is a bit more morbid as well, so I hope you all picked up on that too. Naruto had a lot of problems to endure, and more lessons for himself to learn! Now back to it!
I hope some people got the Dbz abridged reference to the white mage. Which is also a reference to DnD as well.
Ahhh yes, I wanted to make sure Erza fully understood that Naruto's and her fight was simply a test. Granted, I thought it was funny to have everyone in the end to gamble on Naruto. Trying to show that some people had some hope in him to win. Yes, Wendy is mentioned FAR earlier than in the original story! You will all just have to wait and see how our Sky Dragon Slayer and our Sage Dragon Slayer know one another!
I also like how the one reviewer stated Naruto and Erza having a relationship like that of a rival. Similar to how Ikki Kurogane and Stella Vermillion have in Chivalry of a Failed Knight. I didn't think of that at the time, but I thought it be a cool dynamic between the two! Like I said, I am trying to make the characters feel as real as possible and give them more of a 3D feel to them. Even if they're even considered only 2D.
AHHHH! So, a very interesting review asking about Kushina and Naruto remembering his conversation with her over 300 years go. I mean, no matter what, of course he would remember that, and I said she head butted Naruto. Not punched like in the original anime, where she hit him over the head while in the seal. So, here's my question to you guys… did Naruto actually grow up with his parents around? Were they actually with him? You guys don't know much about this Naruto's past except that he's over 300 years old. Everyone in his village, during the Fourth Great Shinobi War died, except for him and Tsunade. Do with that information as you guys want.
I could very well have Naruto and Erza train together, never said it wasn't possible.
If everyone doesn't understand it by now, Naruto's Sage Dragon Slayer Magic is elemental-less. He has no specific element, so he could conjure up a Lighting Sage Dragon Roar, Fire, Earth, Water, or anything he could eat. So… in turn Naruto literally can eat any sort of magic, and fire it back at his enemies. However, he cannot obviously, like other Dragon Slayers, eat his own magic. So… with that said, I'm sure you all understand what I mean by this. Also, yes Naruto can easily use Enchantment magic, he was taught by the best! We all know who our beautiful and lovely Rose is!
I'm glad you like it, I understand you don't like the 2 and 9 tails being there. I'm sorry, but it just isn't a good Naruto fanfiction without the nine or two tails. They're just too funny to not use, of course if you can us their character's right. I merely want them there for comic relief, they have no real role. Until they meet Naruto's girls face to face one day, more abet it being Matatabi MUCH more willing to meet her… well uhhh Sister-in-laws. Ah yes, I know I thought of it a lot about doing a single pairing. However, it was too tempting to NOT do a harem. Most understandably the Fairy Tail members are all quite selfish, and more than likely NOT want to share! However, with this Naruto…. and his past… well these changes how the girls will view and accept Naruto. Including everyone else… remember technicality he has lived over three lifetimes, four if you now include this new life he has.
With that said! Let's get to the story!

*Naruto*: Scene shift
Summary: With the never-ending chance of Naruto's life drawing to a close, Naruto has already been forced to have lived over 300 years, watching people he knew die, and their children's children die. He is ready to set out on his new adventure, but will he enjoy it? Can he find a new place to call home? People to call family? Or will he want to return to what he did before? This is all due to the new Six Path Sage Chakra, which he began to create on his own. Naruto x Harem.

Last Chapter
Erza nods her head and sticks her hand out to Naruto, "Officially, Naruto I'd like to welcome you to the guild as our newest S-Class Wizard."
"Thanks, means a lot to me, Erza." Naruto shook her hand.
"Now that we got a new S-Class mage! Naruto! Fight me!" Natsu charged at Naruto with his fist on fire.
However, Erza stepped forward and slammed his head into the ground, "Natsu! You know better than to attack someone after they had a long and hard-fought battle! I'm sure Naruto is tired."
Natsu mumbled through the ground, "Y-yes Mam'm… sorry Mam'm."
Naruto chuckled, "Uhh… actually if Natsu wanted that fight I could still very well do it." Naruto looked to Natsu as Makarov and the others looked at Naruto like he was crazy.
"My dear boy you cast a very powerful spell. Are you telling me you could still keep fighting?" Makarov looked at Naruto in shock, he knew of Naruto's feats and powers, but he didn't realize that Naruto's stamina was THIS large.
Erza shook her head placing a hand on her hip, "No matter what, there will always be someone stronger than you out there." Erza looked at Naruto with a determined smirk on her face. Oh yeah, Erza could easily see Naruto being a rival for her, "Next time we fight Naruto… I will be stronger; we should push one another to get as strong as possible."
Naruto smirked back at her, "Okay! I'm game if you are! Let's just see how powerful we get and see who stays above one another!"
"I wouldn't want it any other way." Erza looked to Naruto as seemingly lighting sparked between the two causing the guild to realize something. That Naruto and Erza might have just become rivals with one another. Similar to how Erza and Mira are still rivals even today.
¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉
This Chapter Next Day
It was the day after Naruto defeated Erza in combat after everyone watched their battle. It was undeniably shown that Naruto was indeed an S-Class mage. Much to many of the ones who lost the bet, they in the end respected or feared Naruto for his power. Which taught everyone a valuable lesson to never judge a book by its cover. That there is always someone stronger than you out there.
Which is an understatement of the century.
Naruto woke up from his morning like usual and made his way over to the guild. Matatabi was able to convince Kurama to get out of the seal for a bit. The two took on transformations to go around and explore Magnolia. Hell, Naruto even gave them some spending money so they could enjoy themselves.
Naruto walked into the guild to find the typical people he'd talk to in the guild. Naruto made his way over to the bar, "Morning Mira, how you doing?" Naruto sat on the stool and leaned his arms on the counter.
Mira, who was taking inventory of the drinks at the bar looked up from her job, "Oh! Morning Naruto, I'm doing even better now that you're here. How can I help you today?"
Naruto smiled; he was glad that Mira enjoyed his company. Even more so than most people, "Well I'm good on drinking and food if that's what you mean." Naruto let a chuckle out as Mira joined him, "Besides that, probably gonna take a look at the mission board."
Just then a voice called out, "Naruto, my boy I have something for you." Mira and Naruto turned their heads to see Makarov come walking up to the two. Makarov got up on a stool next to Naruto and slid him two pieces of paper.
Makarov shook his head, "You've only been here for a few days, and there are already missions being requested by you."
Naruto took a look at the first piece of paper and nervously chuckled, "Wow, that was quick…" Naruto held the mission up to Mira who read it.
"Come Play With Us, from the children of Setsuna Orphanage." Mira smiled as she looked over at the mission, "Awww how adorable, those kids just want to get to know you." Mira looked over to Naruto as she felt her heartbeat a couple of skips. Seeing Naruto getting requested by these precious kids from before was adorable.
Just then Levy and Lucy came walking over and heard the commotion, "Already the kids want you back?" Levy chuckled as she stood next to Naruto and Makarov.
Naruto turned to her and nodded her head, "Yeah, the reward for the mission is a few hundred Jewels… but I can't take those kids' money…"
Lucy then said, "I wouldn't deny that if I were you… they want to first hire you so you can come. Plus, they're kids, they want to seem grownup so they're gonna wanna pay you." Lucy giggled as she looked at Naruto with amazement, "I can't believe after just one mission he captured the kid's heart. Well, I must certainly agree he has that type of ability, as well as a way to crowd people around him."
"Wow, that seems like fun." Levy liked the idea of a different pace in jobs, granted not like it was high paying, but it was just a simple mission. The way the kids went about it was just precious.
Naruto smiled and nodded his head, "Well if you girls want, you could come join me, I mean the more the merrier am I right?"
"You can count me in!" Lucy smiled raising her hand, "Yes! First one to answer."
"Oh my, well it seems I'll have to ask someone to look over the bar." Mira placed a hand on her cheek as she looked over to Naruto. Mira walked around the counter and over to Lucy and whispered, "I see… so that's how you want to play it… is it. You're on blondie." Mira stopped next to Lucy as Lucy stared back at her. Without Levy and Naruto seeing it, Makarov could see a Tiger form behind Mira and a Lion from Lucy as the animals roared at one another.
"Ahhh what it is to be young and in love." Makarov sighed to himself with a smile on his face.
"Levy, it'd be great if you came! Some of the kids want to learn magic! Lucy and Mira you too! You three are pretty smart right?" Naruto smiled looking at them as Levy and Lucy blushed from the compliment.
However, Mira continued to walk away with an upset look on her face. Even though she kept up the smile. She knew she wasn't much of a teacher and was honestly smart to a point, but she can't teach. God, she has tried to do that for others before, and that didn't work out. However, that wasn't going to stop Mira from Lucy and Levy getting a leg up on her.
Lucy and Mira know that this was Lucy 1 and Mira 0.
For now, at least.
As the group prepared to leave for their mission, Natsu, Happy, Lisanna, Erza, and Gray walked into the guild chatting amongst themselves. Naruto was with Lucy, Levy, and Mira by the door as Mira wanted to talk to Lisanna before she headed out. Elfman was currently sleeping at one of the booths at the guild.
Just then Naruto noticed off as he felt a presence, not until it arrived made itself known, did he feel a sense of drowsiness. Naruto quickly shook his head and stood up before he could slump. However, he saw Mira, Lisanna, Levy, Lucy, and Erza begin to wobble around and began to fall. Naruto quickly shadow clones to catch Lisanna and Erza from falling and hitting their heads on the ground. Naruto was able to pull Mira, Levy, and Lucy close to him and gently lay them against one another on the ground. Naruto saw Makarov send him a nod of gratefulness for Naruto's help.
Naruto watched as the doors creaked open, he saw a figure walking into the guild. Makarov, who was now on the counter, sighed, "Must you always put everyone to sleep?"
The man who Makarov was referring to only nodded his head. Naruto looked at him strangely since he resembled a Shinobi in some ways. He was wearing a dark blue cloak and his arms and legs were mostly covered in bandages. He also adorned a dark blue bandana with a silver forehead protector and a green mask that obscured the bottom half of his face to hide his identity from his guildmates.
The man walked up to the job board and grabbed a mission. Naruto also noticed a tuff of yellow hair and looked up from over the balcony. Just then the mysterious man who came walking in got Naruto's attention by making a clicking sound with his mouth. Naruto looked at the man as the man then looked at him, "Naruto… right?" Naruto nodded his head, "Interesting… I've heard a lot about you."
"Mystogan…"
"I'll see you around… 5…4…3…2…1" Mystogan finished as he walked out the doors, closing them behind him as everyone began to awake from their slumber.
Naruto looked at Makarov and Makarov looked to Naruto with an impressed look on his face. Not even Erza, who is one of Fairy Tail's strongest could resist Mystogen's sleeping spell. "Ugh… what happened?" Lucy held her head as she looked up to see Naruto.
"It must have been Mystogan…" Mira slowly looked around to find herself next to Levy and Lucy. She realized that Naruto must have laid them all down so they wouldn't have gotten hurt, "He always puts people asleep so we can't see his face."
"D-Dammit…" Natsu growled out annoyed, "He always does this!"
Levy who also realized what Naruto did for them slowly stood up and smiled, "Thanks Naruto, appreciate not hitting my head." Levy looked at him thankfully.
"Of course, don't want to see people get hurt, especially if they are you guys." Naruto said with a smile on his own causing Levy, Mira, and Lucy to fight their flushes down.
Erza didn't realize that Naruto laid her down, but Lisanna did as she saw she and Erza were in a similar position as Levy, Lucy, and Mira were in. Lisanna smiled and waved to Naruto, "Thanks for helping us two out too Naruto-Nii!" Naruto simply nodded his head to her.
Just then a voice spoke out, "Hahaha… so many of you haven't seen his face. Of course, I've seen what he looks like. I'm pretty sure he couldn't even beat me if he wanted to. You're all weaklings, even Mirajane and Erza couldn't even stay awake. Pathetic."
Makarov only looked up to Laxus disappointed, asking himself where he went wrong. How, Laxus, a boy he raised himself, ended up the way he did. Natsu growled out, "Come on Laxus! I'll show you just how strong I am!"
"Then come up here!" Laxus taunted as Natsu prepared to go up to the second floor.
Natsu was about to go until Makarov shouted, "Natsu! You can't go up there yet! Not until you've become an S-Class!"
Lucy watching this unfold could understand why Natsu couldn't go up there. He wasn't mentally mature enough to be considered S-Class. Naruto then spoke up and said, "When mocking others… you're just trying to get rid of something embarrassing from within you." Naruto stated as he turned towards the doors of the guild and walked out.
Laxus looked to the back of Naruto sneering at him until he walked out. Laxus simply huffed away as he laid back down deciding to ignore everyone. Levy, Mira, and Lucy quickly followed Naruto out leaving the rest of the guild in a bunch of chatter. Meanwhile, Jet and Droy were currently biting the collars of their shirts while crying.

With Naruto
Once Naruto heard the others follow him out Naruto said, "Wow… that guy was something else." Naruto turned to Levy and Mira wondering who that guy was.
Levy frowned and shook her head left and right, "That's Laxus for you, Laxus Dreyar."
"I'd be worried if Laxus ever became Guild Master." Mira turned to glance back at the doors of the guild, "After all, he is likely to become the next Guild Master."
"Wait… are you saying?" Lucy looked at Naruto with a worried look on her face.
"Must be master's Grandson…" Naruto knew if they were related, they were grandfather and grandson, "Isn't he just a ray of sunshine?"
"He's been like that since Master expulsed his father from the guild." Mira placed her finger to her lower lip, "He's always obsessed about succeeding Master, and the Thunder God Tribe is super loyal to him."
"Well hopefully he turns over a new stone soon, otherwise he's going to regret it." Naruto narrowed his eyes thinking back to Sasuke, "Anyways come on, let's go get a Four-Wheeler and get to Mangrove Village."
¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉
Few Hours Later *Mangrove Village*
Naruto and the others soon returned to the village they were just not long ago. Naruto lead the group into town as mayor Mango greeted them, "Ahhh welcome back! I heard about the job that the kids sent out not too long ago. They were very eager to see you all again." Mayor Mango chuckled as he gestured the group towards the Orphanage. He then took out a bag of money, which was more than the given amount said for the mission, "I know this amount wasn't said on the mission board. However, the money the kids scrounged up was from their savings. We went ahead and put their money back into the saving and decided to take it out of the village's funding. So, please do not mind it if we give you more."
Naruto, Lucy, and Mira wanted to refuse, however, they all knew better. Levy smiled and stepped forward, "Of course, I think it's sweet that the village looks out for everyone. We'll make sure those kids know they do not need to pay for us to come."
"Well…, one of them said. "If they are mages, then time for them is important. They are busy going to jobs to make money so they can continue living and go on more jobs. So, to get them to come here, we need to buy their time."" Mango smiled as he looked down at the grown with a smile on his face, "Miyuki has done a wonderful job looking after those kids as if they were her own. These kids are quite smart too, we're fortunate for Miyuki, after all, she is a schoolteacher."
"That's wonderful the kids get that from her!" Levy beamed happily, "I think we're all going to get along well!"
"Yeah, we can give lessons on magic!" Mira added.
"Help them get stronger if they want to be mages!" Lucy grinned happily, "We have various types of magic users, I'm mainly a holder! Everyone else here, besides Mira, is a caster."
"I got take-over." Mira smiled thinking of the idea of teaching children. It would be great practice for her in the future.
"Well, those kids aren't gonna teach themselves, come on gang." Naruto chuckled happily seeing everyone's enthusiastic looks on his friend's faces.
Everyone came walking up to the orphanage as everyone was outside. They were sitting on some chairs that they brought to the outside. Miyuki was up at a chalkboard on wheels. It looks like she was going over beginning algebra for the kids. Now that Naruto had a good look at them all, most of the kids seemed to be about 10-12 years old.
Everyone watched silently as all the kids focused solely on Miyuki listening to her words. Of course, the kids were writing in their spiral notebooks. Miyuki saw the others arrive but continued to teach as they kept a relatively far distance, so the kids didn't notice them.
Though some of the kids seemed upset, they wanted the Fairy Tail members who saved Miyuki to be here. Not that they didn't like Miyuki's lessons, but they were anxious for them to arrive!
"With that said class, before I let you all go. I am curious, are there any specific types of magics your kids would like to learn?" Miyuki flipped the board the other way revealing the student's name and a column for the magic they want to try to learn.
Naruto looking at the group of kids counted a total of eight. Miyuki decided to start with the first student, "Alright Miguel, would you like to go first?"
"All right!" Miguel fist-pumped the air and jumped from his seat, "I wanna learn how to use lighting magic! That way I could fire off cool beams of lighting! Maybe even cloak me in it to make me super-fast!" Miguel ran his hand through the air resembling how fast he wanted to be able to move.
Miyuki wrote Miguel's choice next to his name, Miyuki then moved her hand down to the next person's name, "Tomo you're up."
"Hey, that's me!" Tomo cheered out loud, she had red hair and blue eyes. Tomo did a skip and a twirl on one foot, "I wanna learn how to fly using wind magic!"
Miyuki nodded her head, "Alright, Michele you're up."
"Understood Setsuna-sensei." Michele who was standing thought for a moment and then nodded her head, "I'd like to learn how to use Water Magic." Michele had black hair and bright blue eyes.
"Ace you're up."
Ace stood up, he had black raggedy hair and freckles on his face, "Alright! I wanna learn how to use Fire Magic! Oh yeah!" Just then Ace slumped over falling asleep with a snot bubble coming from his nose.
The kids who all knew what Ace was like laughed as Ace slept. Miyuki giggled, "Anyways, Patricia your up sweetie."
Patricia stood up, she had brown hair and green eyes, "Alright! I wanna learn how to use Celestial magic so I can summon those Celestial Spirits!" Lucy beamed hearing the girl wanted to learn Celestial Spirit magic. However, it also hurt, knowing that the special 12 zodiac keys were extremely hard to get.
"Wonderful… now Mark." Miyuki said finishing Patricia's wish to learn Celestial Spirit magic.
Mark, who had black hair and green eyes stood up, "I wanna learn how to use Water Magic! That way I could control when it rains and summons huge tidal waves!"
Miyuki finished writing Mark's response and then turned to another girl, "Alright Malissa you're up."
Malissa stood up, she had blonde hair and blue eyes, "Great! I wanna learn how to use magic that is super versatile!"
"Two more to go, Mitch, you're up." Miyuki turned to the boy after writing Malissa's element.
"I wanna learn how to transform into beasts and stuff! It'd be cool as hell!" Mitch shouted out, the boy had black hair and brown eyes.
"Mitch… language, we're still in school." Miyuki glared at the boy as he chuckled back deciding to quiet down.
Naruto whispered to Mira, "Try not to traumatize the boy too much."
Mira felt has world shatter as she continued to look ahead at the children. For whatever reason, when others tell her she is scary or call her the devil. When Naruto states it to her, it hurts her ego more than usual. Lucy internally chuckled as Levy gave a light chuckle at the jab Naruto took at Mira.
"Last but not least! Becky! You're up!" Miyuki turned to a girl, which everyone took an interest in. She had brown hair and brown eyes.
"Understood Setsuna-sensei, I want to learn wind magic. That way I can learn how to fly!" Becky smiled looking up into the sky. Not every paid too much mind to the girl, but Naruto took note that the girl did not stand up when Miyuki called on her.
Miyuki nodded her head, "Well with that said class is dismissed, and your free time for the rest of the day can begin. Of course, I think you should all turn around." Miyuki gestured her hand as all the kids turned around, except for Ace who was still asleep, all cheered and gasped in joy.
Naruto waved to the kids, "Yo, can't wait to get started on those lessons!"
"Yeah! Let's go!"
"Naruto-Nii is here!"
"Those girls were with him before!"
"Let's learn some magic!"
"Magic time!"
Levy smiled and said, "Well I know how to use Solid Script if you're interested in being more versatile! If I remember that was Malissa."
"Cool!" Malissa called out as she ran to Levy's side.
Mira, who had a very adult and calm aura about herself said, "I know how to use Take-Over magic and water magic! It'd be Mitch and Mark. Michele why don't you go to Naruto."
"Got it!" Michele nodded her head in acceptance.
"Awesome my teacher is super-hot!" Mitch cheered gleefully as he ran over to Mira, "She's on Sorcerer's Weekly!"
Mark hit Mitch upside the head, "Stop leering at our teacher you pervert." Mark sighed knowing he has to do his best to keep Mitch in check.
Lucy held two fingers up, "Well it seems like you got me, Patricia! I so happen to be a Celestial Mage myself!"
"Amazing! I can't wait to learn!" Patricia came running up to Lucy standing next to her.
Naruto chuckled as he placed his hands on his hips, "Well it seems I'll be teaching Tomo, Ace, Michele, Miguel, and last but not least, Becky." Naruto watched as the kids ran over to him, but Ace was still asleep.
Miyuki walked over and shook Ace awake, his snot bubble popped, "Ugh! Huh!? Where am I…" Miyuki looked over at him crossed, "Oh! Sorry, Sensei! Uhhh who's the fire magic teacher!" Naruto chuckled waving his hand over to him as Ace shot up from his seat and ran over to Naruto.
Miyuki shook her head placing her hands on her hips, "What am I going to do with that boy, seriously."
"Sensei, come on I need a hand." Becky called out as Miyuki quickly turned to her.
"Sorry about that Becky, you know how Ace is sometimes." Miyuki chuckled, Naruto and the others watched as Miyuki helped Becky out.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, Miyuki helped Becky with her chair. Miyuki picked the young girl up and carried her behind the chalkboard and placed her into a wheelchair. The two soon came out with Miyuki rolling the young girl out. Naruto then noticed that not only can Becky not walk. She was also blind herself, she had a light haze of film over her eyes.
"I could easily heal her… cure her blindness and help her walk again." Naruto did feel bad for her, but he doubted that girl wanted his empathy let alone his sympathy. It was clear that the other children treated her well. Tomo cheered out, "Can't you wait, Becky! You'll be able to fly with magic soon!"
"Yeah, it'll be a lot of fun! I'm sure we will all do well!" Ace cheered on.
"Yeah, we've all dreamed of this! Now it is coming true!" Malissa cheered as the other girls cheered together.
"Ahhh yes, I can't wait for it either, I know this will be an eventful and wonderful learning experience," Becky said again with excitement in her voice, though something seemed off. Becky held herself very differently from the other kids. She couldn't be the oldest of all of them she seemed to be the youngest.
Miyuki smiled happily, "You may not have met Becky yet, she wasn't at the orphanage when those members attacked. She was in town getting a new dress from the seamstress on that day."
Naruto nodded his head and turned to his team, "Well why don't we go to separate areas so we can teach and get to know one another!" Naruto walked up behind Becky, "I'll push you over there, don't worry Miyuki. I'll take great care of her." Naruto assured Miyuki who let him push Becky to a training area Naruto wanted to take them too.

With Naruto
Naruto pushed Becky as Tomo, Michele, Miguel, and Ace followed Naruto as he took them to an opening in the forest. Naruto gestured for them to sit in front of him and they all did so. Naruto looked to Becky and asked, "May I?"
Becky wondered where Naruto was and hoped she could also sit where the others were, "I shall only do so under one condition."
Tomo giggled and said, "Becky only wants certain people to carry her, so far, the only person allowed to do so is Miyuki-Kaa-chan. Becky is a real sucker for Fairy Tails."
"Tomo!" Becky using the sound of Tomo's voice looked towards her direction, "You're embarrassing me! B-But even still!" Becky regained her composure and cleared her throat, "I shall only let you pick me up under one condition! I want a vote from my panel too."
"You got it, sis!" Tomo shouted with a cheer.
"Let's do this!" Ace stood up from the ground.
"We'll see how Naruto-sensei does now." Michele giggled as she looked at Naruto wondering what Becky will have him do.
"Alright then, Ace hope you're ready!" Miguel looked to Ace and he in turn nodded his head.
Naruto, nervous, looked between all the kids and said, "Alright then… I accept."
Becky nods her head, "Alright everyone sits down, and I'll instruct Naruto-sensei on this." Becky looks intently at Naruto, "Naruto-sensei if you want to be able to pick me up… I have to knight you." Becky stated as she reached into a pocket of her wheelchair. She pulled out a walking stick and pointed it at Naruto, "I want you to tell me a Fairy Tail! A wonderful story and it can be anything! Then and only then will I knight you, and then you can pick me up."
Naruto was surprised, but not unwilling to give it a shot. He smiled and nodded his head, "Alright then, let's do an alternative, and let me show you something amazing." Naruto using chakra stomped his foot on the ground. Tree branches from the ground came up and formed a large couch for all the kids to sit on. Naruto pushed Becky next to everyone and he created another chair across from the kids to sit down on, "Woah! So cool!" Tomo cheered with stars in her eyes, "He can grow trees!"
"Awesome! He made furniture with them too!" Miguel said in excitement.
"Becky, Naruto-Sensei is already so cool! That has to give him bonus points for the story!" Michele looked at Becky as Becky nodded her head.
"Understood, I shall make sure the furniture he creates is also added to his score." Becky nodded her head and gestured to Naruto, "Now please you may begin Naruto-sensei."
Naruto nodded his head, smiled, and thought back to Jiraiya's story, "Okay… how about I tell you guys about a guy. He was a Shinobi, and ironically this is how I was named Naruto." Naruto looked to the kids as a wave of nostalgia hit him, "The name of the story is, "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi."
"This story takes place within several ninja villages that exist around Mount Hyakki. During the First Ninja World War, the northern village, Kotsu, tried to conquer the village of Konton. Konton sought aid from the southern village, and together they began the Sōten Project to create a destructive kinjutsu called Gukōizan
When the chance for peace with Kotsu emerged, Gukōizan was no longer needed. Shuku's Second Village Chief, Kaen Mahiru, ordered everyone involved in Gukōizan's creation to be killed so that knowledge of its existence wouldn't get out; Naruto and Renge's fathers died during the war, possibly because they were part of the Sōten Project. Kaen also broke the village of Konton in two to further keep Gukōizan a secret, with Kon to the east and Ton to the west.
That was just the plot setting of the story so you all had some insight. Now, the main character, Naruto, Sometime after the Second Ninja World War, Naruto Musasabi fights a ninja that tries to attack Shuku. Naruto and Tsuyu's teacher, Shū, summons them to a meeting with Shuku's Third Village Chief, Kokage Mahiru. He informs them of the recent destruction of Ton due to the shifting of Mount Hyakki. Kokage worries that its destruction may be a sign that Kon has rediscovered how to use Gukōizan, possibly with the help of Renge Momoashi, who recently abandoned Shuku to discover the larger world. Kokage instructs Naruto and Tsuyu to find and eliminate Renge.
Naruto investigates Renge's house to try and learn his whereabouts, and while there he is attacked by a giant centipede. He defeats it, but not before it bites his neck, leaving a mark resembling a cross between a spider web and a compass; he finds this same mark drawn on a wall in a hidden room.

Kokage summons Naruto and Tsuyu to meet with him again the following day. He modifies his previous order to instead have them capture Renge alive and bring him back to Shuku. To help them with this, he assigns Nikaku Onikoma, a sensor, to help them track Renge down. Nikaku was thought to have died during the First Ninja World War, executed for killing his allies. To prevent the public from learning he's still alive, he disguises himself as a donkey. Naruto and Nikaku have several donkey-related arguments before setting out to search for Renge…"

Few Hours Later
"That's… the end." Naruto finished as he placed his hands back onto his lap, he took a sip of water that Miyuki brought to the group a bit ago.
"T-That was amazing! Wow! Loved it!" Tomo clapped loving the end of the story.
"I think it was awesome! The fighting and the suspense! Who knew the bad guy planned this the entire time! Crazy!" Miguel shouted as he kicked his feet into the air.
"I have to say that's one amazing story!" Michele nodded, liking Naruto a lot.
"That was so cool, that should be a real story! There were so many great and funny parts too!" Ace slapped his thigh agreeing with the rest of his siblings.
Becky after a few moments nodded her head and smiled, "What a wonderful story… lovely, nonetheless. I think the character interactions were well done, the details and descriptions of every one were marvelous." Becky wished she knew what things looked like; she could only hope to imagine what they were.
Naruto smiled, "Thanks Pervy-Sage once again you come to save the day." "So, does that mean I pass? Do I get knighted Becky-hime?" Naruto gave a polite bow of respect.
Becky liking the sound of that, fought her blush down and nodded her head, "Y-Yeah… well with that said. Come here, Naruto-sensei, and kneel."
Naruto stepped forward and went down on one knee and bowed his head. Becky, with the guidance of Tomo, placed her walking stick on Naruto's left shoulder, "As Princess of Miyuki's Orphanage… I now knight you Naruto-sensei. You shall be known as," Tomo guided Becky's stick to Naruto's right shoulder, "Sir Naruto. You have been knighted and may move me from my wheelchair to the comfort of the ground."
Naruto slowly stood up and said, "Of course Becky-Hime, as you command, so it shall be." Naruto walked over and gently picked Becky up bridal style and tapped his foot on the ground. A small shrub grew with a comfy leaf for Becky to sit on.
"Thank you, I hope you cherish this title, Sir Naruto. One of the many rare few who will only get to pick me up." Becky smiled happily thinking about Naruto, she was glad he was such a gentleman and so kind.
"With that said and done… is everyone ready to begin learning some magic? I'll teach you all the basics of what you need to know. Of course, if you have questions feel free to raise your hands and ask questions." Naruto slowly stood up, "Now, let's begin."
As Naruto began to teach the children, Mira, Lucy, Levy, and Miyuki were off to the side listening to Naruto. The kids they were teaching were asleep under a tree, they were all tuckered out from trying to use magic, "Becky is so adorable!" Lucy giggled watching Naruto's and Becky's interaction with one another, "I didn't know Naruto was quite the storyteller."
"I must admit that was new, but it was beautiful to see Naruto do that for her." Mira looked at Naruto with an awe-inspired look on her face.
"That's my Naruto it's truly amazing to see this side of Naruto… he'd make a great father…" Lucy looked at Naruto from a distance with a happy feeling from the scene. However, Lucy saw Miyuki lean in closer to her as she saw Lucy's face heat up. Lucy took a step back, "H-Hey… why are you so close?"
Mira and Levy continued to talk, not hearing Lucy's and Miyuki's conversations. "Oh… nothing just interesting to see how close you three are with him." Miyuki giggled as she turned back to Naruto, "Don't worry… I get it, you like him don't you."
Lucy held her head in embarrassment, "Am… am I that obvious?"
Miyuki giggled into her hand and nodded her head, "Don't worry about it, he's a cute guy and has dashingly good looks. However, I'm not one to get in the way of girls who already like a guy. Besides, I can tell how close he is to you two."
¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉
*With Naruto*
Naruto sighed as he stood in front of his students, he gave instructions on how to feel out for their magic. It didn't take long after the instruction Naruto gave for the kids to begin activating their magic. Naruto explained to each of them what to feel when it came to their desired element.
Tomo stood with both her hands out in front of her. Slowly a light green hue appeared in her hands as the wind picked up. Her hair began to flail in the wind as her eyes sparkled, "Naruto-sensei! I've done it! I've done it!"
Naruto smiled looking over her shoulder, "Wonderful Tomo! You and Becky could work on wind magic together! Working with another is always helpful!
"Naruto-sensei look!" Naruto turned his head to hear the voice of Ace as he smirked holding a small flame in his hand, "Hah! I did it! Just like you explained it to me! I thought of a flame in my mind and it came!"
Naruto gave Ace a thumbs up, "Nice! Now you can keep your friends and family warm too! Then when need to you can cast great big fireballs!"
"Heck yeah! I've always wanted to be able to go by a special moniker!" Ace smirked as he held his fist up covered in flames.
"Let me guess, Fire Fist Aee?" Becky smirked off to the side as Ace looked over at her.
"Hey! You were listening in on me!" Ace's face began to blush in embarrassment.
Michele placed a hand on Ace's shoulder, "Uhhh Ace… you kind of talk to yourself a lot in your room. It's kind of hard not to hear you."
Ace hung his head depressed as Tomo patted his back trying to comfort the young fire apprentice.
Michele held her hand in the air was a bubble of water formed in her hands. Naruto nodded his head, "Nice Michele, water is very versatile."
Michele nodded her head with pride, "Of course, after all, Naruto-sensei is the one teaching us."
Naruto patted Michele's head, "No need to be like that, the rest of the work was you."
Just then there was a crackle of lighting, which everyone turned their heads towards, Becky turned her ear towards the sound. Miguel smirked as lighting jumped between his fingers, "Alright! That idea was perfect Naruto-sensei! Had to think of electrical charge and think of it crackling when leaving my hands!"
Mira nodded her head at Naruto's reasoning for understanding said magic. Lucy and Levy, however, chuckled wondering if that was really how Naruto explained magic to the kids. Becky sighed as she thought about Naruto's explanation of wind magic, "Wind magic, it's like trying to mess with the air around you. Breathing helps, concentrating on your breathing and the air surrounding." Becky focused on the air around herself and made sure to control her breathing. Naruto and the others watched as Becky's hair began to move in the air. The hem of her dress began to flap in the breeze she created. Just then Becky felt something connect within her, as the wind picked up quicker.
Everyone watched as a mini tornado spun around her, "Nice Becky! Your magic is pretty strong after just finding it." Naruto made his way towards her and placed a hand on her head, "Not bad at all Hime, not bad at all." Naruto looked around as the other kids began to practice their magic. Conjuring up weak spells to help practice Naruto continued to give them pointers on how to control their magic.
Within the next ten minutes, everyone exhausted their magic reserves. Naruto gently laid them up against some trees to rest under. Naruto looked over to see Levy, Mira, Lucy, and Miyuki watching him from a distance. Naruto made his way over, "Well I think the kids will sleep well tonight, Miyuki! They got a good understanding of their magic once they got the hang of it."
"Yes, I saw, thank you four so much for coming out." Miyuki smiled looking towards the kids sleeping under the tree, "They couldn't stop talking about wanting to learn magic. As well as waiting to see Naruto over here again."
"The kids are close, after all, they were either dropped off here at a young age. That or their parents died." Miyuki frowned but then smiled looking to Naruto, "I've taught them that family doesn't have to be related by blood."
Naruto smiled and said, "It's the people who think and care about you." Naruto smiled thinking back to his family. This didn't go unnoticed by Lucy, Mira, and Levy, now that they thought of it. None of them knew about Naruto's past, "Naruto… I want to know… just who are you?" Lucy looks to Naruto wanting answers, but she is worried. Because she still remembers how he saved her mother. She still wants to know what he did, Lucy did learn that Magic Deficiency Disease is deadly. It wasn't easy to find someone who can cure such a thing.
"Well, when we can we'll stop by when the kids want. We can continue teaching them, maybe they'll even join Fairy Tail once they're old enough." Mira smiled brightly as she looked to her left to see Mitch asleep by a tree.
"Yeah, maybe." Lucy placed her hand on her hips.
"It was fun, this was something I was pretty good at." Levy looked to Naruto, "Thanks for inviting me along the way for this mission."
"I'm glad you could tag along! I'm not much of a teacher, so I figured having some help would be good." Naruto chuckled as he gave Levy a bright smile. This caused her to smile back with a slight blush on her face.
"Well, it's been lovely to have you guys here. We just need to get the kids back in their beds, and you guys can go about your day." Miyuki looked at Naruto and his team.
"Well, I can give you a hang bringing them back to their rooms." Naruto, without thinking, created seven shadow clones. This surprised everyone as they looked at him, "Naruto… you idiot." Kurama facepalmed. Naruto looked to everyone and said, "Well now you all know I got a butt load of magic."
Mira was rather surprised as well, "W-Wow… I mean to be able to make that many thought projections is amazing."
"That requires a lot of magic." Lucy was surprised herself as the clones went and took the kids into the orphanage to lay them to bed.
"Ops." Naruto to himself as Matatabi and Kurama stayed silent when Naruto took the kids back into the orphanage. Levy looked to Naruto rather confused, Mira didn't catch onto it, but those Thought projections. They had magic, but they weren't made OF magic. Naruto had his clones take the kids back to their rooms in the orphanage. However, when Naruto himself picked Becky up and found Miyuki next to him. Naruto wondered and looked at her and asked, "Miyuki… do you know the stories behind everyone?"
Miyuki gave him a gentle smile, "Why don't you keep her here, if you don't mind letting her rest in your lap of course."
Naruto shook his head showing he didn't mind, he gently sat down holding Becky in his arms. Miyuki gestured for Levy, Lucy, and Mira to come sit with them. Miyuki smiled as she closed her eyes for a moment as a cool breeze blew into her hair, "Honestly, everyone here was abandoned and left in front of the village. We're unsure of who dropped them off and where they came from. We've caught parents dropping their kids off here before. The kids were so young when dropped off that they don't even remember anything of their parents."
"How sad." Lucy frowned, she thought of not knowing who her mother, father, or even her little brother was.
"It's sad…" Levy looked down thinking for the kids, "Even still it seems you've given them a lovely home."
Miyuki nodded her head in appreciation, "Thank you, I made sure they knew the situation they were in."
"However, you made sure they all loved one another like family." Mira smiled as Miyuki nodded her head confirming Mira's guess.
"As you can tell they've learned to not care about where they came from. They only care about one another me, you guys, and everyone n the village." Miyuki shook her head and smiled, "The boys want to be able to become strong mages and join prominent guilds. That way they could make money and help support the village."
"Responsible young kids, wow already thinking about the future." Lucy giggled thinking back to some of the boys.
"That Ace kid has a real fire in his eyes." Naruto looked towards the orphanage, "The others as well… I think you raised these kids well. You should be proud; you've done a damn fine job."
"Thank you… all of your praises flatter me greatly, thank you." Miyuki smiled with a gentle blush on her face, "They're the most important things in my life, I'd give up everything for them."
"Spoken like a true mother." Lucy smiled gleefully as Miyuki nodded her head in agreement.
Miyuki then looked towards Becky, "I will say this though, I am rather surprised Becky warmed up to you so quickly."
Naruto looked at her worriedly and asked, "Let me guess… her background isn't so cut and dry like everyone else's… is it?"
Mira frowned, and Lucy and Levy quickly followed suit as Miyuki nodded her head. "Becky well…"
A few seconds passed as Miyuki tried to bring herself to begin. She didn't even know where to start. Just then a voice spoke up, "It's not hard Miyuki-Kaa-san…" Everyone turned their heads to see Becky slowly sitting up in Naruto's lap, "I may not look like it, but I am younger than some of the others here. I'm only eight."
Naruto was surprised, "Wow… you physically seem older than most of the other kids."
"It's because you act so mature…" Mira answered quickly and Becky nodded confirming Mira's answer, "Forced to learn the hard way the world works. Forced to grow up."
Becky nodded her head as she looked down at her lap, "I can still remember it…" Becky began to shake as Miyuki placed a hand on Becky's hand, "My parents… weren't the best around, my mother and father were divorced. They fought a lot and argued… usually it was always over me and my little brother."
No one said anything waiting for Becky to continue, "I looked after him, fed him, bathed him, and worked to make money." Becky lifted her hands to her face, even if she couldn't see her hands. She could still see the cuts, bruises, and gashes on her hands, "I had to work manual labor, moving cargo, and working in factories wherever I could. Something to make money for me and my little brother." Becky's voice began to crack with sadness and pain, "H-He… I did everything I could for him. He was so young… his name was Jack, he was my little Jack Jack… I miss him greatly."
"You don't have to continue if you don't want to… Becky." Naruto placed a gentle hand on her right shoulder.
Becky took her left hand and placed it over Naruto's hand, "Stories mean a lot to me no matter how silly, real, or fake they are. Every time I came home from work I would be always happy. Because I knew Jack as I usually request is for him, to read books, and come up with a story for me. It kept him busy and happy. Well, at least what happiness I could provide for him."
"You did your best Becky… I'm sure Jack understood and loved you very much." Lucy said gently to which Becky smiled and nodded her thanks to Lucy, "I too have a little brother… but I couldn't even imagine losing one."
"Yeah… he passed away because no one would look at him." Becky gripped her fists in anger, "He got sick… because…. Because OF ME!" Becky slammed her fist into the ground and caused the wind to pick up around her.
"It wasn't your fault." Miyuki retorted quickly grabbing Becky's fist and trying to calm her down.
"I-It! I-I have no one else to blame! I-I had to work, b-but yet… people got sick… very sick. I-I got lucky and didn't have it as bad as everyone else." Becky looked away in shame, "Even though I didn't get sick as the other workers. I-I thought it wouldn't be worse than a simple cold."
Naruto's anger inside was boiling as he listened to Becky, of course, everyone else's inner rage was there. "Somehow through getting a cold… his cold grew worse. He ended up getting Pneumonia, I tried to go to a hospital… but they turned us away. Because I couldn't pay for the jewels required for the treatment. Hell, I even tried to steal them… that didn't work in the end. All that got me was a beating from my father."
"How awful!"
"What kind of parent would do that!"
"I can't believe they were even parents."
Naruto frowned, "Neither Of them did anything?! Neither of them cared?! You're their children for Kami's sake!" Naruto grew visibly angry; he could remember when he had the slightest of fevers. His mother was all over him taking care of him, she did the same for his sister too.
Becky smiled, she could feel everyone's emotions and how upset everyone was. "It's okay if you get mad, I appreciate you getting mad on my behalf… you are all great people." Becky rested her head on Naruto's chest. Kurama lay there in the seal saying nothing, he even knew everything the girl said.
Was true.
"We called us monsters…" Matatabi said within the seal as Kurama nodded his head agreeing with Matatabi.
"You're mother… didn't care at all?" Levy looked at Becky with a lot of empathy for the little girl.
"Not only that you had to work just to make money? Didn't your parents even help a little?" Lucy looked at her wondering if her parents even gave a damn.
"No… nothing, my mother just up and left, no word or anything." Becky frowned, "My Jack… was only four…" Becky turned her head into Naruto's chest as she began to cry.
Miyuki looked down saddened by everything, Becky's past was just so bad. Yet, here she is still strong and living through life, "Your brother must have been so important to you… that you kept going huh." Naruto smiled as Becky nodded her head, "If you don't mind… then how did you lose your sight? Why are you in a wheelchair?" Naruto knew the answer, but he had to know.
"I explained… my father… well you know beat me. He got even worse when Jack passed. So bad… he broke my spine, which paralyzed me forever. Then took a knife over my eyes…" Becky was stopped as Naruto placed a hand on her head.
"It's okay… no need to continue… I-I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Naruto closed his eyes as tears ran down his cheeks, "You're wonderful… I hope you know that you're so strong… you should be proud of how far you've come. Not just for yourself… but for Jack too, you've made Miyuki… your mother so proud."
Becky smiled as she thought about Naruto's words, and tears began to flow from her eyes again, "I-I… thank you… thank you! Naruto! Naruto-Nii!" Becky cried as she shoved her face into his chest. It was a lot to take in for Becky, even if Miyuki has said it to her before. You never truly realize how much one appreciates just hearing words like that from people.
Naruto was amazed by this little girl. After everything, after all, she went through. She kept going, and living after losing her ability to walk, see, and her little brother. Here Naruto realized how much he wanted to move on. To think he wanted for himself to just be done so he could see his parents, and his little sister, made him feel quite pathetic. Was it wrong for him to want to finally rest knowing he lived over 300 years? He saved the world but at the cost of all his friends and family. The only other survivor is Tsunade. "Don't you dare think like that, nor relate yourself to her?" Matabi scolded Naruto as he flinched, "You both have had completely different circumstances, you can't compare them." "Thanks, Matatabi." Naruto relaxed internally and Matatabi nodded happily.
"I understand how you feel Becky…" Naruto looked down at the little girl as she looked back up at him, "I know what it's like to lose family, maybe not knowing your own family not caring about you. But losing them… that I can relate to you with." Mira frowned along with Levy, Lucy was sad to hear that as well. However, Lucy was now even more worried and curious about Naruto. Just who was he? They met when they were about 7, just how much trauma has Naruto experienced as a child?
Becky smiled, "You learn to treasure the time you have with those around you…" Mira's, Levy's and Lucy's eyes widen hearing Becky's words, "Because we have so little time in this world, a hundred years may seem so long. But we could lose everything in just a blink of an eye, mother nature is neither friend nor foe."
"Too wise for someone so young, but we all do what we can to make the most of it." Naruto smiled as he pulled Becky close, "I have some healing magic… I can try to help you. I can help you walk again… I can help you see again."
Mira was surprised as she looked at Naruto, "Is there even healing magic capable of that?" Mira even looked at Lucy and Levy.
Naruto smiled and said, "For this I need you to be asleep so I can focus on healing parts of your body. I can't promise it will work, but I want to try."
Becky smiled and nodded her head, "If you can't it's okay, I'm just glad you're willing to try."
Miyuki looked worried, Naruto tapped Becky's forehead and placed a sleeping spell on Becky, "Naruto… are you sure about this? I-I mean to say you could potentially do it, but it's not a guarantee, couldn't there be side effects?" Miyuki seemed rather on edge now that Naruto brought this up to her.
Naruto understood her plight, "I get it… it's a lot I just dumped on you and Becky. After she told us about her life, she was a wonderful girl. She is trying to enjoy life to the fullest… I feel like I just want to try to help her do so."
Lucy wanted to speak up and say something. In the end, Lucy decided not to say anything and stayed silent. Lucy had a really upset look on her face, she hated not being told everything that was going on. She understands this is Naruto's personal life and the things he went through. But they are close, she knows she likes him a lot. To see and know Naruto is suffering alone and he won't let anyone in. It bothers her, it bothers her, and it angers her because she wants to help. Yet, he won't allow anyone to help him.
Naruto could tell Lucy was very hurt by this, and she wanted an explanation. However, Naruto knows he can't tell them. He can perform these different acts and different miracles, but he understands letting too many people know can come with consequences. Big ones at that, the girls would have a lot of questions. Naruto knew that if he continued to come here with the girls, they would end up seeing Becky walking and being able to see.
Again, there are limits that magic can do. Hell, even Tsunade would find it extremely hard to help someone walk again. Bringing back eyesight, forget about it.
But when it comes to Naruto, all rules and laws set by mother nature or whatever Kamis exist. You can throw that into a garbage can and incinerate it.
Naruto's hands began to glow green, acting as if he was using his dragon slayer magic. Naruto knew Sky Dragon Slayer magic, so it wasn't hard to trick everyone. At least everyone but Lucy, Naruto had the sun mark appear on his right hand which went over Becky's mid-back. Naruto could feel the damage, her sciatic nerve was damaged. Tsunade could fix this with surgery, but thankfully Naruto didn't have to do that.
Once Naruto finished, Naruto took the same hand and placed it over her eyes. He could feel the eyes were severally damaged with the cornea having a scar. It was clear a blade was ran over her eyes and it wasn't a shallow cut either. The green-like glow from his magic continued and slowly faded. As the sun mark on his hand disappeared Naruto said, "Okay… open your eyes."
Becky moved her head, so she faced everyone. She began to slowly open her eyes as she saw everyone sitting in front of her. Becky looked around to see the grass, the trees, the sky, and the clouds, and finally, she looked at Miyuki. Becky placed her hands over her mouth as she looked at Miyuki. Miyuki looked so young, yet so many in the orphanage, including her, called her mother. "A-Are you…"
Miyuki nodded her head with a smile, "I-I am Becky, I am."
Becky went to go toward Miyuki, but her legs couldn't move. Though the initial movement caused her to move off of Naruto. She used her arms to brace herself, it didn't hurt but she felt the grass prickle her shins and toes. Naruto gently lifted her, "Your legs are weak due to atrophy and you not using them. It'll take time, but you'll be able to walk and run like everyone else very soon."
Once Naruto set Becky down, Becky turned her gaze from Miyuki to Naruto. She looked at him with a slight blush on her face, "S-So that's what y-you look like! I-I can also feel the grass! I can feel the breeze up against my legs!" Becky smiled brightly as Lucy looked at Naruto with a smile on her face. Levy and Mira had some tears rolling down their cheeks. Becky looked to the other girls, "You all must be his friends! It's so nice to put voices on people's faces! But I'd like to put faces to names too."
Lucy smiled waving to Becky, "I'm Lucy."
"Mira here." Mira wiped a tear from her cheek.
"I'm Levy, glad you can see again. You really are amazing Naruto!" Levy tilted her head to the side a bit with a bright smile on her face.
Naruto chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head, "Come on, it was nothing really, I'm just glad I was able to help."
Becky couldn't stop smiling as she rested up against Miyuki, "I-I can't thank you enough, all of you, Naruto for healing me, and you guys willing to teach everyone magic. I-I feel as if I can do so much more for Jack!" Becky had some more tears run down her cheeks in excitement.
After a few moments of cheering for Becky's recovery. Becky soon fell asleep in Miyuki's arms. Naruto figured it was time to head out, "Well I'm glad we were able to help teach the kids magic and help out Becky…" Naruto smiled as he nodded his head looking towards the sky, "Nonetheless, we probably should get heading back."
Miyuki looked at Naruto with a great amount of admiration from Naruto, "I can't express how much you've done for us and our village. Especially for the kids, you've given them hope to better their lives. I appreciate it, I do."
Mira waved it off, "I only taught a couple, it was mainly Naruto wanting to come here."
"Yeah, no need to thank us so much, it was mainly Naruto. We just joined since he asked us." Levy chuckled nervously embarrassed by the praise.
Lucy nodded her head, "Most of it should be Naruto, he is the one who wanted to do this."
Naruto shook his head, "Don't forget I still asked you all if you wanted to join. You guys still played a part in the kid's journey to learning magic. I appreciate you all coming to help out."

Later That Night
Naruto and his team went back to the Fairy Tail Guild. It was a rather quiet ride where small chat was made, but nothing else was said. Naruto walked out of the guild and looked up at the stars, "Hey Naruto."
Naruto turned his head to see Lucy come walking off from the side. Lucy was upset and mad at Naruto, she had her arms crossed over her chest, "Oh, Lucy, I thought you went home, something up?"
Lucy shook her head, "Naruto…" Lucy looked Naruto dead in the eyes, "I've enjoyed seeing you and going out on missions with you. I'm overjoyed that we got to reunite, but Naruto don't you trust me?" Lucy walked up to Naruto and got closer to him, "Is there something I did wrong that you don't trust me? Or is it something I've said or done to make you not want to trust me? I mean… we've been friends since we were kids. My parents took you in and looked after you, I am not trying to guilt trip you or anything." Lucy looks down at the ground, "I-I just feel as if I don't even know who you are anymore. I can see you are troubled, and you're struggling with something. Is it that bad that you can't tell me what happened?"
Naruto looked at Lucy with a serious look on his face, he would like to keep this talk for later. It was taken early, but even still he went and decided to heal Becky. "Naruto… this is the repercussions for healing Becky. Not that it's a bad one, just one that would force you to explain yourself." "If I don't…" Naruto replied, "Simple… you lose her as a friend kit. Nothing more nothing less." Kurama closed his eye resting his head on his paws. Matatabi looked to Kurama, it was cruel for him to say that to Naruto. It was highly unlikely that Lucy wouldn't want to be friends with him anymore. It would just put a big strain on their friendship, but it was Kurama's way of pushing Naruto.
Naruto had a nervous smile appear on his face, Naruto gestured for Lucy to follow him, "Come with me… I want to show you, my place." Naruto began to walk once again towards the forest which lead to the outskirts of Magnolia.
Lucy followed silently behind Naruto unsure of what else to say. Naruto knew she was nervous and anxious herself; he could tell she was even hating the fact she asked. The two walked in silence until they reached a place where it was covered by trees and brushes. Naruto turned to Lucy, who seemingly looked at him confused.
Naruto snapped his fingers as the shrubs and trees soon disappeared. Lucy looked in awe as she saw a house in its clearing. It was a rather comfortable three-story house, "Well here's my place, I keep it hidden so people can't try to squat or anything. Come on in, we'll talk there." Naruto continued onwards into the house as Lucy followed through the front door.
Once the two made their way into the family room. Lucy looked around at all the decorations and furniture in the house, "Wow… it's nice, it's almost as if… a girl decorated the place." Lucy walked over to the fireplace and found pictures, "Woah… wait… are these your!" Lucy looked to Naruto as he nodded his head to her answering her question, "Wow… your mother is so pretty! Her hair is as red as Erza's! Your father… you look just like him!" Lucy panned to another picture of a kid Naruto and a girl who seemed to be about his age. She had the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Naruto. Lucy looked to Naruto, "I thought… I mean I knew you had a family… but you never really said anything until Becky told her story…"
Naruto chuckled as he said, "Yeah… I don't like to mention them too much. Just… a lot happened with them. Just wish they were here ya know?" Naruto looked to the left and up the stairs.
Lucy's eyes grew two sizes as two footsteps came walking down. Matatabi came walking down the stairs in her kimono, "Well welcome to our humble abode Lucy-Nya!" Matatabi smiled happily as she came over to the couch. Matatabi gestured to the couches, "Please sit Nya! All will be explained-Nya."
Naruto smiled and said, "Well first introductions I think are needed…" Naruto gestured to Matatabi.
"Hello, Lucy-Nya! My name is Matatabi, I'm the Two Tails Hell Cat!" Matatabi added as two blue tails appeared behind her. Then two blue fur ears lifted in the air, "If you're wondering, no I am not a human. I'm just a being construct made from Chakra-Nya!"
Lucy looked at Matatabi like she was crazy.
"Real subtle Matatabi… real subtle, why don't you tell her Naruto is from another dimension and is over 300 years old." Kurama joked as Matatabi mentally hissed at him, and her cheeks turned red.
Naruto seemingly facepalmed as Lucy looked at Naruto in confusion, shock, and well more confusion.
"WHAT?!"
Well, that is after all the most appropriate response.

A/N: Alright! That's it for this chapter! Now… I will be honest, I felt like holding off on the whole Becky thing. However, I thought it be better to do it now than later. Why? I don't think it's in Naruto's nature to leave something like that by itself. Of course, are there consequences and stuff like that. Yes, but in this scenario, if you have the ability to help someone. You know you can… wouldn't it make sense to do so? Honestly I had a hard time deciding, I feel like this was just icing on the cake. Truly I thought it was right to help Becky out, besides she is gonna be an important character for Naruto. Those kids in the orphanage are going to be important for Naruto. So, with that said, I get it if some people wanted me to hold it off. However, I waited almost three days on this decision and this is what I came to. Now, when it comes to Naruto's past and everything, it's going to be Lucy first. I liked the idea of giving Lucy and Naruto their time to talk, mainly Lucy so she can finally learn who Naruto is. Is it early, yes, but does it make sense, I think it does actually. Many could argue to hold it off but think about the actual Fairy Tail timeline. Things regularly happen pretty fast up until the time skip. This way I can dive into more of Naruto's back story. This is a way for Naruto and Lucy to really get to hash some things out.
Will this end up with them dating, no it will not if that what people might be wondering. With that said! I hope you all enjoyed it! This will be the last installation for a while, I wanna try to get back to my other stories. Sage of Prophecy Out! Ja Ne!
