Chapter 1:

"HEY, ONE MORE BEER!" a customer shouted to the bartender.

"COMING RIGHT UP!" the bartender called back and took a clean glass in his hand. He held it under the tap and opened it. The beer started running into the glass and when it was almost full, he closed the tap again. The foam of the beer rose right up to the rim of the glass. The bartender walked around the bar and brought the beer to the customer.

"Thanks! You are the best!" said the customer as he took his beer and turned back to his friends. The bartender smiled a little as he wrote a number on the customer's coaster with a pen. He put the pen back in his pocket and then went back to the bar. He took a dirty glass and started cleaning it. 'I would never have believed that I could have so much fun as a civilian.' thought the bartender.

'It's been a year since I've been working here,' thought the bartender. The bartender was currently wearing a white shirt, black pants and black shoes. He also wore a black tie. He had blue eyes reminiscent of the ocean and spiky blond hair.

This bartender's name is Naruto Namikaze. Naruto's parents were unknown and so was his origin. He just showed up at the pub one day and started working there.

The pub didn't belong to him, he was only an employee here. However, the income was enough to rent a small modest apartment. He's either in the bar or training most of the time anyway.

Naruto tapped 5 beer and placed the 5 glasses on a tablet and lifted it. He walked around the bar and went outside. He placed the tablet on a table outside and placed each glass on a beer mat.

"Ah, there it is! Thank you, Naruto!" said one of the people sitting at the table.

"That's my job Kled." Naruto said as he wrote a number with his pen on each lid. He put the pen back in his pocket and took the tablet back under his arm. The pub where he worked was called La Viena. It was located in the capital Crocus.

Crocus was the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore. This was where the magic tournament was being held. The city was located in a large valley surrounded by high and low mountains. Nearby there was a river that surrounded small islands and also the river babbles through a gorge. On both sides of the river was forest that reached into the distance. The buildings were assembled into a kind of circle as far as the eye could see. The characteristic of the city was that the streets, buildings and much more were filled with small pretty flowers. In the central part there was also a small lake with a small island in the middle, where Mercurius stood, where the kingdom of Fiore was ruled.

The pub was in the outer part of the city and was therefore rather remote. This was usually where people came who didn't want to went to the city center and wanted it more comfortable. That's why Naruto tried to get a job here and luckily succeeded. In downtown Crocus it was always hot, especially at night in the pubs. In La Viena there were hardly any people who cause problems, because they were mostly the same customers. Naruto knew every regular customer personally and also knew what they worked as. Kled for example, was a simple craftsman. He builded houses or repaired everyday things. He was a jack of all trades in the craft.

He went back into the pub and went behind the bar. Nobody wanted to drink anything at the moment, and he took advantage of that to have a drink himself. He poured himself some water into a glass and drank the whole glass empty in one gulp. He just put the glass down and then listened directly to the next order. "We want 2 beer Naruto!" said a young woman with long black hair.

"Coming right up, I'll bring them to your table." said Naruto as he started to finish the order. After holding the two glasses in his hand, he walked around the bar and went to a table where 2 young women were sitting.

"Here are your beers." said Naruto as he placed 2 coasters on the table and placed a glass on each coaster. Naruto wrote a number on the coaster and then went back to the bar. Naruto started cleaning some glasses that a waitress had just brought to the bar. In addition to him, 2 waitresses worked here and only took orders and brought empty glasses back to the bar. Naruto himself was in charge of the whole bar and his boss was in charge of managing the bar. This means replenishing inventories, checking invoices, etc.

"HEY, WHAT'S THE POINT!" screamed a voice from outside and Naruto sighed. He actually hoped that this night would be quiet as usual. Didn't seem like it. He put the glass down and went outside, where 2 guys were staring at each other with an aggressive look. 'They're clearly not regulars.' Naruto thought as he walked over to them. He walked past a waitress and smiled at her as she looked at him gratefully. She went in herself and told the boss.

"Gentleman, I would ask you to settle this matter between you somewhere else. You're disturbing the other guests." Naruto said as the two guys looked at him at once.

"Who are you? Do you think this makes us itchy? Go back behind the Bar you loser and leave us alone! It's none of your business!" said one of them. Naruto raised his hand as he fended off a punch from the other guy with the palm of his hand open.

He looked at the two with a smile and closed his open palm and held the one man. The man tried to release his fist from Naruto's grip, but he couldn't. "Hey, you asshole, let me go!" the guy shouted, trying to hit Naruto with his other hand. Naruto took a step to the side, turning the man so that he now pointed with his back to Naruto. Naruto pressed the man's arm against his back, preventing him from moving.

The other man ran around the two and wanted to kick Naruto in the side. Naruto blocked the weak kick and held his foot. Naruto said something again in a slightly different tone to make his point clear.

"Get away and never come back." Naruto said in an ice-cold voice, which made them shudder. He threw them both to the ground and stood right in front of them as he looked down at them.

The two men wanted to say something and do something against Naruto, but the look in Naruto's eyes stopped them. These eyes promised great suffering if they dared to do something again.

The two men just nodded and walked away while staring at each other. Naruto sighed. He went back into the pub with a smile and told his colleagues and his boss that the troublemakers were gone. After that, he went back behind the bar and continued working.

After another hour, his boss called him to his office. Naruto knocked on the door and then went inside. His boss was a middle-aged man with a slightly wider physique. You could definitely see that his boss liked to do muscle training. His suit fits quite tightly and you could see the wide muscles underneath.

"You wanted to talk to me, boss?" asked Naruto.

"Ah Naruto, there you are. It's very fast, I don't want to stop you from your work. In 3 months, the magic tournament will start again and that means that I will go away again with my wife in a few days until the games. I just wanted to inform you that we will soon be closed for an uncertain period of time." said his boss.

Naruto went back behind the bar a few minutes later and took new orders with a smile on his face. It turned out that Naruto would have his last working day in 2 weeks for the next 3 months. He had already made plans in his head where he wanted to go first. One thing was clear, he would go to the beach and really relax there!


The sun was high in the sky and the sun's rays delighted every creature that was currently on the beach. Whether it's the sea creatures in the ocean, the people on the beach or the animals in the surrounding area. Every living creature was in a good mood, including a familiar face.

Naruto stretched and then crossed his arms behind his head again. He was currently wearing yellow swimming trunks with black flames on them. He was lying on a large towel on the beach and lying under a parasol. Today was already his second day on the beach and he had been free for a few days and for an indefinite period of time, as it turned out.

Naruto sat up straight and rubbed his eyes a little. His blue eyes saw a new troupe on the beach, and he must say, each of these people had good magical powers. 'They are clearly magicians. Maybe they're getting ready for the tournament?' Naruto thought. He looked at the symbol on the shoulder of the boy with pink hair. 'Isn't that Fairy Tail? Never thought I'd see them in person. I am curious whether they are really as destructive as it was always told from Kled and the others. It's been pretty quiet around Fairy Tail in the last few years and they've become the weakest guild as far as I know.' Naruto thought.

He got up and walked past some people. He had a muscular physique, but there were not too many muscles. His physique was more comparable to that of a professional swimmer.

Naruto was standing on a small cliff right next to the beach a minute later. He jumped off the cliff and then dived into the water. He dived a long distance and eventually reappeared. He saw the boy with the pink hair diving just in front of him and shortly afterwards a pillar of fire shot into the sky. 'A fire mage and a strong one at that. Creating such a jet of flame underwater is quite difficult.' Naruto thought and swam on. Naruto also noticed how a boy with black hair controlled ice a little further down the beach in various forms. 'Ice Make, if I'm not mistaken. Pretty nice magic.' Naruto thought and then arrived back at the beach. He laid down again under his parasol and noticed how a woman with long red hair looked at him briefly and then went to the cliffs. 'Do I have something on my face?' thought Naruto. He touched his face with his right hand and felt nothing strange. He shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes. The sun was still in the sky for a few hours and he used it to relax.

"Hey, did you notice him too?" the boy with the black hair asked the girl with the long red hair. "Yes, this man has strong magical powers. However, he does not seem to belong to any guild. At least I didn't see a guild symbol on his body." the girl said.

"Of course, it may be that his guild symbol is under his swimming trunks. In any case, we should keep an eye on him Erza, just in case." said the boy.

"You're right Gray. So far, however, he has not done anything that makes him look suspicious. He just seems to be a magician who wants to relax here. We do the same." Erza said, and then left.

Gray scratched his head slightly and sighed. 'She's right. I'd better focus on my training and hope Natsu doesn't notice the guy. Otherwise, the idiot will make another big scene.' Gray thinks. He went back to the water and continued to practice his magic.

When the sun had just disappeared on the horizon, some people were still on the beach. Occasionally there were still normal beach visitors, but also the magicians of Fairy Tail and Naruto last but not least. Naruto had been resting all day and had decided to finally train. It's been quite a while since he started training. He always had so much to do with work in the capital that he couldn't train properly.

He stood up and stretched once, holding his arms over his head. Naruto dropped his arms again and looked around briefly. There was no one around him at the moment, all the magicians were either in the sea or on the cliffs. He nodded to himself and walked a few steps away from his towel. He jumped up and landed on his hands. He started to do handstand-pushups and every now and then he jumped up from the handstand and made a turn in the air and then landed back in the handstand. He did this for a few minutes until he supported himself and pushed himself off the ground. He landed safely on his feet and started shadow boxing. He first slowly beat the air and after a short while became faster and faster until he became so fast that his movements became only blurred to the human eye. At least for people who were not used to such a speed. For Naruto, everything was still normal, and many magicians could see Naruto's movements.

Naruto started adding kicks to shadow boxing and now it looked more like a dance. He turned from time to time and moved elegantly in the sand. That's how any fighter who had some idea of combat would judge it.

Naruto continued training for a few more minutes until one of the magicians noticed Naruto and commented on his posture and how he fought. "Wow." said the magician. That one wow was all the person could say. Naruto stopped in the middle of his routines and had one leg in the air at the moment. He pulled his outstretched leg back to him and placed it calmly on the floor. He relaxed his muscles and turned around. In front of him stood a girl with long blue hair. She was currently wearing a green dress. She also had black eyes.

"Thank you. Can I help you?" asked Naruto. He took a deep breath once and then exhaled again. The sand around him moved slightly as he inhaled and exhaled.

"N-no it's nothing. I just saw you and was just overwhelmed. It looked beautiful how you moved there. No movement seemed wasted and there was a lot of power in every blow and kick. I felt the vibrations in the air." said the girl.

"I assume you're a wind mage. Not many can perceive the vibrations in the air and draw conclusions from them. My name is Naruto Namikaze," Naruto said, holding out his hand to the girl.

The girl smiled and shook Naruto's hand slightly nervously. "Wendy Marvel, glad to meet you Naruto." said Wendy

"HEY WENDY!" shouted a female voice. Naruto and Wendy let go of their hands and looked at the direction of the voice. Erza Scarlet came running towards the two at a calm pace. When she arrived, she looked at Naruto briefly and then turned to Wendy "We were looking for you Wendy. We all wanted to go out for dinner together before we left for the hotel," said Erza.

"Oh, ok!" Wendy turned to Naruto and bowed slightly "It was a pleasure to meet you, Naruto!" she said and smiled.

"Same here, Wendy, I wish you and your friends a nice evening." Naruto said as he bowed slightly to them and then turned around. He calmly went back to his blanket and took a water bottle.

Wendy and Erza went to the others and talked a bit. Wendy told Erza how she watched Naruto shadow boxing. Erza was already interested, according to what she heard from Wendy this Naruto was pretty fast and fit. His physique said a lot about him, but there were many magicians with a good physique. In the end, it was the experience and the effort you put into your body that records the results. Natsu had a similar physique to Gray and was still much faster than Gray. Natsu had been much more focused on raw power and speed so far, and Gray had always been someone who relied on his magic.

Naruto went to his "place" and sat down. His legs were crossed, and he held his arms at his sides. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath in and out. He felt the ground on which he was currently sitting. The wind that bounced against his body and then moved on and the magic that was in the air and in the ground. Around him, some wind began to swirl around, and his blond hair began to move slightly in the wind. His pants were also visibly affected by the wind.

Naruto felt how his magical power slowly began to become one with nature and thus he also became a part of nature. He took a deep breath and then exhaled again. He let his magical power flow out of his body. The wind increased in strength but did not blow anything away. As if nature were thanking him that Naruto shared his magic with her.

Naruto smiled as a pleasant warmth flowed through him. He let himself be completely penetrated by the warmth and lost himself in it. After a few minutes, Naruto opened his eyes and the wind stopped blowing. He had shared quite a lot of magical power with nature and that was quite exhausting. He slowly got up and packed up his things. He took his bag and started walking towards a hotel, where he booked a room for an indefinite period of time. After all, he has the money and can afford something like it now.

This specific training was very good to train your concentration but also to raise the magical power of someone.


Naruto jumped up and landed on his hands. He began to walk through the sand on both hands and even walked towards the sea. He started walking through the water a bit, which made it even more difficult to walk on both hands.

From the water a little further away came several pillars of fire. Elsewhere there were several ice constructs to be seen and again elsewhere you could see how the water curved and formed strangely.

Naruto let himself fall and landed safely on his feet again. He squatted down a bit and then jumped very far out onto the water. All the people who saw this had widened eyes. Naruto just jumped out of his crouch 30 meters out to sea.

Naruto landed in the water and started diving. He dived and dived until he ran out of air. He dived back to the surface, taking only one deep breath before starting diving again.

When Naruto was back on the beach, he walked away from the normal visitors and sat under a palm tree. He was currently sitting with his legs crossed and his arms were on his kneecaps. He had closed his eyes and like yesterday he began to meditate. Just like yesterday, wind began to become visible around him and he let his hair rise towards the sky. His pants were also in motion. Naruto felt the wind swirling around him and the earth where he was sitting on it. His magic began to flow from his body and the pleasant warmth began to flow through his whole body again.

He felt eyes on him, but he didn't let it bother him. His mind was clear, and his thoughts flowed like water. Naruto stopped after a few moments and opened his eyes. The wind stopped whirling around him, and his hair fell back to the ground. He now saw the person who was watching him.

It was a woman with long blond hair and brown eyes. She wore her hair in 2 braids, which she wore to the sides with elastic bands. 2 long strands framed her beautiful face. She wore a white bikini with a pink petal on it. The figure of the woman was amazing. Especially the breasts stood out a bit. It was not uncommon in Fiore for a woman to have large breasts. The best example was the woman with the red hair or the former model Mirajane Straus.

"Hi, can I help you?" asked Naruto.

"Sorry if I disturbed your meditation. I was just surprised that someone did the same exercise." the woman said, smiling.

"Not many people know about this exercise either." Naruto replied, smiling as well.

"My name is Lucy Heartfillia, nice to meet you." she said, walking a little towards Naruto. Naruto stood up and bowed slightly. "It's nice to meet you too Lucy, my name is Naruto Namikaze." Naruto said, smiling.

"Are you also a stellar mage?" asked Lucy curiously. After all, she got this exercise from Capricorn and that's why she thought that maybe Naruto was also a stellar mage.

"No, how did you come up with that?" asked Naruto, confused. He would really like to know how Lucy came up with such a question.

"I'm a stellar mage and I'm currently being trained by a stellar spirit. He showed me the exact same exercise and I thought you learned it from a stellar spirit." Lucy said with a smile.

Lucy could only say one thing about Naruto and that's hot. He had a similar physique to Natsu but was a good deal taller than him. Naruto's muscles seemed to fit perfectly and his hairstyle and blond hair matched Naruto perfectly. His eyes were reminiscent of the endless ocean where you could lose yourself inside. But what sets him apart from every other man so far had been his butt. She saw him where she saw him by chance. Naruto had a sexy ass. She had never seen such a defined butt as with Naruto. That was sexy.

"I see." Naruto said, nodding. "So, it's understandable that you think something like that. Unfortunately, I'm not a stellar mage, I use other magic." Naruto explained.

"What magic do you use?" asked Lucy.

"I use wind magic." Naruto said.

"Ah I see. I know someone who also uses wind magic." Lucy said with a smile.

"So, you know Wendy?" asked Naruto.

"Huh? Yes. How do you know Naruto?" asked Lucy, a little curious.

"I met her recently. She had watched me train a bit and then we met before someone picked her up." Naruto explained.

"So that's how it was." Lucy said.

Naruto looked to the side because someone had called Lucy's name. "LUCY!"

Lucy turned to the side and started smiling. "LEVY!" shouted Lucy back, waving at her. Levy was a girl with blue hair and black eyes. She wore a hairband and a blue bikini at the moment. Her bikini covered more than Lucy's.

Levy arrived at the two and looked at Naruto. "Hello, my name is Levy." said Levy, bowing slightly.

"I'm glad Levy, my name is Naruto Namikaze." Naruto said, bowing as well.

"Am I disturbing something?" asked Levy, somewhat cautiously. She didn't want to disturb her best friend in a conversation with a man where she clearly knew that he was her taste. The two were not best friends for nothing and she knew Lucy's taste in men and Naruto was the visualization of Lucy's male taste. His behavior so far was also courteous and not like Natsu or a few other guys from the guild, who were rather annoying and childish. Naruto didn't seem like that and had a completely different charisma. He was more like Gajeel, who liked to get involved in a fight with Natsu but was otherwise calm and relaxed.

"Not at all. We just talked about our magic." Naruto replied.

"I see, what magic do you use Naruto?" asked Levy curiously.

"I use wind magic." Naruto said. He raised his hand and shortly afterwards the two women could see a small vortex of air gathering over his palm before disappearing again.

"Do you just use it to attack, or can you do other things with it? I once read about someone who can fly with wind magic," Levy said a little excitedly. Maybe Naruto could even fly, that would be amazing!

Lucy remembered Erigor of Eisenwald and if Naruto could fly just like him, he would really have a big advantage over others. Very few mages could fly and the mages with the right magic usually couldn't. So far, Lucy had only seen Erigor, who could fly without help.

Naruto laughed slightly "I can fly with my magic." Naruto said. A gray magic circle appeared under his feet before the two women could feel some wind. Naruto was lifted off the ground and hovered a meter above the sand.

"Wow! That's amazing." said Levy.

Naruto interrupted his magic and landed safely back on his feet. "Besides this little trick, I can also move faster by concentrating wind on my feet and becoming as fast as the wind." Naruto said.

"It's really convenient. I didn't know someone could use wind magic like that." Lucy said in amazement. She found Naruto more and more interesting. First his appearance, then his behavior and now his abilities. She found him more and more attractive.

"Why were you looking for me Levy?" asked Lucy curiously. After all, Levy was also training herself and she also helped Wendy with her spells. She wondered what she wanted.

"Oh, you're right! I just lost sight of the reason, my bad." Levy said, laughing slightly ashamed. Neither of them took offense.

"Virgo showed up and asked us to come to the realm of stellar spirits. Since you were busy at the time, she said one of us should let you know." Levy said.

"I'm sorry if I'm interfering now. You're training properly for the big tournament?" asked Naruto.

Both nodded and looked at him confused. "I once learned from a stellar mage named Yukino that time in the world of the stellar spirits passes faster than here. Maybe you should wait until the Magic Tournament is over. I don't know exactly how much faster time flies there, but you might lose a lot of time for your training." Naruto said.

Lucy's eyes widened. She didn't know anything about it! "Oh my God! You are our savior Naruto!" said Lucy. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" said Lucy in quick succession. She didn't want to imagine what would have happened if Naruto hadn't told them. She was really lucky to see Naruto by chance and then get into a conversation with him.

"All right, calm down." Naruto said with a nervous smile. "I'm happy to help where I can," Naruto said, and that made both women look at him with a special look.

"Huh?" Naruto didn't know what this look meant, but this look made his alarm bells go to people.

"You don't mind helping us with training, do you?" asked Lucy. The question itself was not the reason why Naruto had to concentrate on not blushing. It was the way Lucy asked this question. She had leaned forward slightly and squeezed her arms. Between the arms were her large breast and this emphasized both large objekts even more. Her eyes, that smile and this pose with this body was pure seduction. Someone else might not have reacted that way with Lucy and only with Mirajane or Erza, but not Naruto. Naruto was completely influenced by this pose.

Why ever Lucy's methods have not worked on other men so far, they work 100% on Naruto. Lucy saw the reaction and jumped with joy inside. Until now, she always thought she wasn't so pretty, and the universe would be against her. No matter what she did to men, they always ignored her and only ever paid attention to Erza and Mirajane, for example. Naruto had exactly the reaction she wanted. This meant that he foud her very attractive.

"S-sure. I'm happy to help," Naruto said with slightly flushed cheeks.

"Great!" said Lucy and jumped into the air for joy. Levy also raised her fist in the air and was happy for her best friend. She analyzed everything in detail and could see exactly that the taste is mutual. She really couldn't understand how no man had ever reacted to her best friend like all the other men at Mirajane or Erza. After all, Lucy was a real looker. Naruto seemed to find Lucy very attractive.

Naruto calmed down by taking a deep breath. He couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of him. Both women held both hands of the other and grinned at each other and talked in an uncontrolled manner. The two were good friends, Naruto could see that very clearly.

"Ok, we should go to the others now and let them know." Levy said.

"You're right," Lucy said, nodding. She and Levy absolutely had to tell the others about this development. After all, they shouldn't travel into the world of stellar spirits. At least not until the magic tournament was over.

"I will go back to the hotel. We'll see each other maybe later or tomorrow." Naruto said.

"Ok, see you later Naruto!" said Levy, waving after him.

"Wait!" said Lucy and ran after him briefly. "Is there anything else Lucy?" asked Naruto, turning around.

"Where do we meet for training?" asked Lucy. She really wanted to train with Naruto. His magical powers were definitely stronger than theirs or the others. He had more magical power than Erza and she was an S-rank mage! Of course, she and the others were put on hold for 7 years but still, it didn't change the situation.

"At the palm tree, I would say. There we can do the exercise together in peace or others that are intended for strengthening the mind." Naruto said.

"If you can't find me on the beach, I'll be in my room. I have the number 225, if you are looking for me." Naruto said.

"Ok! I'm looking forward to it Naruto!" said Lucy and ran to her best friend and waved at him. She grinned when she saw his gaze. He looked at her and admired her beauty, which she took from his gaze.

Naruto shook his head and looked towards the hotel. 'Damn.' Naruto thought. He really couldn't take his eyes off her as she ran to Levy. His body would not obey him. He had to distract himself and the best way to do this was to read a book in the hotel or continue writing his own.


'The best ever.' Naruto thought and put the glass back on the counter. "Hey Sven, another beer!" said Naruto. He simply addressed the bartender by his first name and that's the most normal thing in the world between the two. Naruto was also a bartender himself and so the two had a perfect topic of conversation.

"Coming immediately, Naruto." said Sven and took an empty glass in his hand. Naruto just looked at his empty glass and paid no attention to the people around him. No one sat at the bar but him, but at the tables sit some groups of hotel visitors. The hotel had its own bar and as befits a bartender, of course you went here once and check out the location. Naruto also wanted to be in front of the bar and not constantly behind the bar. His work had a disadvantage and that was the fact that he himself was always at work when everyone usually went to the pubs or somewhere else. If he wasn't free, he would still be standing behind the bar in La Viena, taking orders. Don't get him wrong, he liked to do the job. Nevertheless, it was nice if you are simply the person who made the order and not the other way around.

"Thank you, Sven." Naruto said as Sven gave him a new glass of beer. "No problem." Sven said and then took the empty glass away from Naruto. He cleaned it right away and then started drying it. Normally, a bartender didn't have to dry the glasses after cleaning, but if no one had an order, the bartender could also relax and dry the glasses.

Naruto took a sip of his beer and felt the liquid moisten his throat again. He put the glass back on the counter. "Hey Naruto." said Sven and Naruto looked at him.

"Is this your first year where you will experience the magic tournament?" asked Sven and Naruto nodded. "Yes, I never had the time to show up before. Now I work in Crocus and if the magic tournament is I will definitely be in the audience. My boss doesn't open the pub until after the magic tournament and until then I'm free.'" Naruto said with a grin.

"Enjoy the time. Once the magic tournament is over, you'll be behind the bar again." Sven said with a grin.

Naruto raised his glass "I'll drink to that." he said, taking a sip. Sven had to go to a table where a few women were sitting. There he took an order and then went back to the bar and started to get all the drinks ready. Sven had a smile on his face and Naruto knew that smile all too well. "There's one there, isn't it?" he said, grinning.

"You know it." Sven said and grinned as well. After work, Sven would not go home alone, that much was already certain.

"Are you actually a mage?" asked Sven and put the first drink on the tray. Naruto nodded and raised his hand. A small vortex of air appeared briefly around his hand and immediately afterwards he disappeared again. Sven grinned and raised his hand as well. Around his hand, out of nowhere, some water appeared before the water disappeared again.

"Suitable for the sea." said Naruto and Sven just nodded. He took the tray with all the drinks and went to the women's table. Naruto could only imagine the benefits of water magic in this field of work. With water magic, Naruto could theoretically control the liquids and could, for example, make beer stains disappear from the floor simply by his magic. He always had to squat down with a rag and remove the stains by hand.

Naruto looked around a bit and could see several groups of mages. He recognized this by the different guild emblems on arms. He didn't know a single guild emblem, which meant these guilds weren't as well known. Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, etc. were known to mages. No matter if you work as a bartender like Naruto or actively carry out orders as a mage. Such big names were simply known. The guild crests were included there.

'I wonder if the guilds will also participate in the magic tournament.' Naruto thought. He had already heard rumors that more than 100 guilds will participate in the games.

Naruto took another sip from his glass and then stood up. "See you later Sven." he said, raising his hand. Sven just came back from the women's table. He had spoken briefly with one of the women there. "See you later Naruto." said Sven and clapped.

Naruto was currently wearing a grey shirt with short sleeves and a rolled-up collar. The shirt also had a V-neck, and, in the neckline, you could see a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a red tomoe. He also wore grey trousers and black, high shoes. Over his grey shirt, Naruto usually wore an orange jacket with short sleeves and black fur collars, which he always wore open. However, he only put the jacket on when he was on the road. On occasions like this, he just leaves her in his room. He went back to his room and saw some of the Fairy Tail mages. There was also a hot spring in the hotel, and it looked like the guild's female mages were currently going there. It was already in the evening, but the hot spring was open until late at night.

He waved to Levy when she saw him and waved at him, smiling. Naruto went on and paid no further attention to the women, after all, he still wanted to continue writing his book. He was probably a bartender, but as a hobby he liked to write down a few things. Eventually, it became so much that he decided to write a entire book on the side. So far, he had already finished about half of his story. He wrote a novel about the adventures of a self-invented character named Jiraiya. He didn't have a good title for the book yet, but he didn't have any stress on such topics.

Naruto had just arrived in his room and had already closed the door behind him. He frowned when he saw a letter on his bed. He sat down on his bed and opened the letter. He read it through and sighed. Naruto got up and grabbed his orange jacket and walked out of his hotel room.

'Why on my holiday?' thought Naruto and walked out of the hotel. He went into the woods right next to the hotel and ran. Naruto moved very quickly through the forest. He ran around trees and bushes. A river appeared in front of him, over which he simply jumped over it. The river was probably 10 meters wide and yet Naruto just jumped over it. Naruto used some wind magic to simply catapult himself forward.

An hour later, Naruto stopped and looked around. 'It must be here somewhere.' he thought to himself. He was currently standing among ruins of an old village. He went to one of the destroyed houses and went inside. The roof was missing, but otherwise everything in the house seemed to be there. He examined the house for certain features, and he could quickly determine that this was really the place. Naruto stopped in front of a wall and touched it with the palm of his hand. In the wall just appeared a passage and there he went through.

Behind the wall began a staircase into the depths, which he went down. When he arrived at the bottom of the stairs after several minutes, he saw a light. The room that now revealed itself was quite large. It resembled a shrine. There was an altar and several torches, which were still burning. 'There was someone here recently.' Naruto thought to himself and walked to the altar. On the altar was an old book. Naruto looked up at the ceiling and could see some spikes of something. Naruto could only imagine that a trap would be set off if he took this book away from the altar. He did it either way and that's why he just took the book from the altar. As he thought, several arrows shot out of the ceiling. Before the arrows could even get too close to Naruto, he simply vanished into the wind, leaving behind swirling earth.

Naruto reappeared outside the building and looked back at the ruins of the house. The house collapsed completely. Naruto could only guess that by removing the book, he had caused this house to collapse completely.

He looked at the book. It was a strange book and yet someone was after it. Naruto lifted his shirt and touched his torso with the book. An invisible rune became visible and in a small light the book simply disappeared. Naruto dropped his shirt and looked up at the sky. It was a clear night and Naruto could see many stars. He looked at the stars for a few minutes and then made his way back to the hotel. He disappeared in the wind and reappeared an hour later in the forest just outside the hotel.


Naruto stood outside the hotel and looked up at the night sky. He didn't know exactly what it was, but the moon seemed very gloomy today. The crescent seemed gloomy and that was not due to the clouds passing by it at a slow pace. Naruto couldn't describe it; it just wasn't normal from his point of view.

Naruto heard the owls going about their activities in the adjacent forest. 'Well, something is really weird.' Naruto thought. Something didn't suit his taste. The night seemed much too gloomy for animals to lead their nightlife carefree. Is he just imagining it?

He looked from the night sky into the darkness before him, where the forest was frightened. 'There's something.' Naruto thought. He thought he briefly saw 2 red lights. He crouched down briefly and took a stone in his hand from the ground. He straightened up again and threw him into the darkness.

He couldn't hear anything special at first. He wanted to label it as imagination until he heard a slight growl. Naruto sprinted right away.

Deep in the forest, a small creature in the shape of a monkey ran across the forest floor. The little monkey's red eyes shimmered in the darkness and through these eyes it was not difficult for Naruto to catch the little monster.

Naruto appeared out of nowhere above the monkey and just grabbed the animal without any problems. The monkey growled menacingly at Naruto, and Naruto didn't even flinch. He had already felt the dark magic that surrounded this monkey and so he didn't wait. His right leg was surrounded by a twister out of nowhere and at the same time Naruto threw the monkey into the air. The monkey tried to hold on to a tree somehow. However, without success and therefore just fell helplessly towards the ground. The monkey was hit by Naruto's leg. 'Wind Magic: Cyclone Leg!' Naruto thought to himself. The monkey was hit by the kick, which had the strength of a cyclone. The monkey was killed directly by the strength and was even chopped into small pieces by the winds around Naruto's leg. Many animals watched the spectacle and did not seem to be afraid of Naruto. They all showed up when Naruto grabbed the monkey. Animals had a sense of danger, and the little monkey was a great danger to all animals.

Naruto looked around and saw the reaction of the animals. He could only assume that they felt no danger from him and therefore came out of hiding. He crouched down and held out his hand to a small animal. The animal gently sniffed Naruto's hand and after only a few seconds it licked Naruto's hand.

Naruto stroked the little fox a little and got happy sounds from the cute guy. Naruto got up afterwards and began to walk back to the hotel in peace. He looked up at the night sky again and no longer had the feeling that the moon seemed darker than usual. 'This monkey was definitely not a normal animal. Whoever manipulated this monkey with dark magic was not a normal dark magician. The little monster had more dark magic in it than some dark magicians.' Naruto thought.

Naruto looked out of nowhere with a serious look to the right and he could hear footsteps. He could hear the footsteps from everywhere. "Very interesting." a female voice sounded, and Naruto could clearly feel the magical power. Whoever that person was, she was strong.

"It wasn't nice to kill my little pet, human." said the female voice with an amused tone. "You are extremely strong, and you have the aura of a demon." said the female voice.

'What? I'd know if I were a demon.' Naruto thought. "You must be wrong, miss. I'm a normal person." Naruto said as he looked around. He was in a very small clearing and between the trees he could see nothing but darkness.

"Oh, you charmer." came as an answer. The person giggled a little. "It's been a long time since someone addressed me as a lady." said the female voice in a slightly different tone. It almost sounded like she was flirting with Naruto.

"You must be a very big number in the underworld," Naruto said, remembering only the amount of dark magic felt in the monkey. The voice giggled a little "You recognized that well human. I am happy when someone understands the situation."

"Why did your pet watch the hotel where I'm staying?" asked Naruto. He was sure that the little monkey was watching either him or someone else in the hotel.

"That's the big question, isn't it?" asked the voice, "You know you can't just ask a lady certain things, human." said the voice.

After this question, it became quiet, and Naruto could feel this strong aura of the person slowly moving away. "See you again human." said the voice with a seductive tone and when the sentence was spoken to the end, the magical power of the person disappeared completely.

The darkness suddenly didn't seem so dark anymore and Naruto could see a lot between the trees again. 'An illusion magic, perhaps?' thought Naruto and walked back towards the hotel.


The silence of the hotel room was disturbed by something. Naruto opened his eyes and stretched once. He had just woken up by something and didn't know what it was at first. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and heard the sound again. Now he also realized what it was exactly. Someone was knocking on his door. Naruto stood up and put on a pair of grey pants. He didn't just want to go to the door in his underpants.

He opened the door and could see brown eyes. Lucy stood at his door and looked at Naruto while her cheeks were blushing. "Lucy?" asked Naruto, yawning briefly. He wasn't quite awake yet, so he didn't realize the look from her.

Lucy quickly shook her head and then smiled at Naruto with slightly pink cheeks. "Hi Naruto, I wanted to ask if you are training with me today?" asked Lucy.

"Yes, of course, come in first." Naruto said and turned around. He needed a shower to wake up. Last night he was up quite a long time. Normally he was used to being awake for so long, but on his vacation, he was not awake until early in the morning every day and then slept until late afternoon. After all, he wanted to enjoy the sun and that's why he went to bed at an earlier time. He currently slept until late morning and then always gets up.

Lucy followed Naruto into his room and closed the door behind her. She looked around and could immediately see that this room was bigger than hers or the others from Fairy Tail. Naruto booked one of the VIP rooms at the hotel, if she had to describe it. In addition to the large bed, which was intended for 2 people and the expensive furniture, the room was also simply bigger. Naruto even had a small kitchen in the room, which was usually not the case. In her room there was only a bed, a closet and a bathroom with a small shower, a toilet and a sink.

In Naruto's room, in addition to the bed, there was also a small kitchen, a larger bathroom, a large desk, a large closet and a large balcony. This was the only room with a balcony. She would like to be in this room herself and not in her little one. That much was immediately clear to her. When she walked past the bathroom, she even recognized a large bathtub! In her bathroom she only had a small shower, that's really unfair!

"Make yourself comfortable, I'll take a quick shower." Naruto said, still slightly foggy, and then went into the bathroom. He closed the door behind him but did not lock it. Why should he? A woman would normally never went into the bathroom if she knew that a man was already inside. If such a case were to occur, the circumstances would be such that it would be normal.

Naruto undressed and went straight to the shower. Meanwhile, Lucy went to the balcony and enjoyed the view. Naruto's room was in contrast to theirs on the upper floor of the hotel and therefore you could see the beach and the sea from here. She wondered how much money Naruto had to make as a bartender. She talked to Levy in the hot springs yesterday and learned from her that Naruto worked as a bartender in Crocus. She was surprised that Naruto didn't work as a magician, but as a bartender. So far, she had not met anyone who had even the slightest chance against him. Acnologia did not count there. Acnologia defeated their entire guild without any problems, and they barely survived.

When Naruto came out of the bathroom, he was completely dressed. Completely dressed meant that he wore his yellow swimming trunks with the black flames on them and the gray shirt with the V-neck. After all, he went straight to the beach with Lucy and there another pair of pants would just be unnecessary.

Naruto saw Lucy sitting at his desk, reading a book. It was a book he had already read through, and it seems that Lucy liked it. It was a book about a thief who grew up in a difficult time and struggled to survive. The story was well told and the supporting characters all had a certain depth that every story needed.

"Do you like the book?" asked Naruto. Lucy was slightly startled and jumped up slightly. "Ah!" She instinctively closed the book and smiled nervously at Naruto. "Excuse me Naruto, I didn't want to go through your stuff just like that." Lucy said, putting the book back on the desk.

"Everything is fine Lucy. Feel free to borrow the book, I've already read it." Naruto said, smiling. Lucy started grinning with joy "Thank you Naruto!" she said and picked up the book. "This story is amazing! Where did you find the book?" asked Lucy. She was writing a book herself and was currently stuck. This book already gave her a new idea for the further course of her book!

"In a shop in Crocus. The owner was very old and as a last action sold everything in his shop for a cheap price. That's where I discovered this book." Naruto said, remembering the nice old gentleman who was now retired and must be fishing somewhere in Fiore.

"When we're in Crocus, I have to take a look around!" said Lucy with a grin.

"I would recommend that, some things you will only find in Crocus." Naruto said.

Lucy nodded, "Shall we start slowly? I guess you came here for training?" asked Naruto and Lucy blinked a few times. She had really forgotten why she came here!

"Yes, of course hehe!" said Lucy, laughing a little. She was embarrassed that she was so distracted from the room. She still wished to stay here and not in her small room. After all, she was a woman and as a woman you had certain demands on such things.

When both were on the beach, both went away from all the beach visitors. After all, they needed peace and quiet if they wanted to meditate in peace or something similar. On the way here, both talked a bit.

Lucy wore the white bikini with the pink print of a petal under her orange top. She tied her hair back into 2 braids as before and the two strands framed her face.

Both mainly talked about training and how best to start. Both had agreed to meditate first and thus strengthen Lucy's spiritual strength. After all, Naruto was here to help her and since he had been doing this exercise for some time, he was able to give her some tips. The feeling of becoming one with nature, for example, was not as easy as you think. The body tried to give as little magic as possible to the outside world and you needed some time so that the body no longer blocked you.

Naruto and Lucy were sitting under a palm tree and the two were a bit in the shade. Both took off their tops and were now back in their beachwear. Both closed their eyes at the same time and began to breathe deeply.

A few minutes later, Lucy was panting. She was lying with her back on the warm sand and had her legs bent. She looked up at the sky and was done. This exercise was really exhausting, you probably quickly increased the magical and spiritual power, but you also empty your magic reserves very quickly.

Lucy lifted her head and saw that Naruto was still in practice. The wind was still swirling around him, and she was wondering how much stronger Naruto actually was. She was completely at the end, and he had only had a drop of sweat on his forehead so far. He stopped and opened his eyes.

"That was very good Lucy." Naruto said, smiling. He leaned forward a little and supported himself on one hand. "You've lasted longer than I did" Naruto said. He remembered the time when he learned magic and did this exercise for the very first time. He could not even maintain the exercise for 5 seconds at the beginning until he was complete at the end.

"Good? I'm exhausted and you don't look nearly finished! You also did the exercise much longer than I did. You're amazing Naruto!" said Lucy with some admiration.

"Don't be so strict to yourself, in the beginning I could only do this exercise for 5 seconds before I was as finished as you were. I've been training for a long time and therefore have more experience. You persevered more from the beginning and didn't become almost unconscious like I did." Naruto said with a grin.

Lucy blushed a little and looked away to the other side. She wasn't used to getting such a compliment and then also from such a hot guy! She had to concentrate again on not stitching on his freed upper body.

Naruto stood up and stretched once. He leaned against the palm tree and was now with his feet right next to Lucy's body. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and just looked out to sea. A pleasant breeze began to blow. Naruto and Lucy's hair began to move with the wind. Lucy also looked out to sea from her lying position and felt nothing but happiness and peace.

While Naruto was near her, she felt safe. She was glad to have met him and this was not only due to the fact that he was almost her dream man, and she had already developed slight feelings for him.

Levy watched from a distance and grinned broadly. She knew these two were made for each other. This picture alone was like in a novel. The man who stood protectively over the woman and she could simply let her fall. The red cheeks of Naruto and Lucy also showed that the two liked each other and not just friendly. She could still remember Naruto's reaction to Lucy's little show. They were made for each other. He's also a strong mage, which was a bonus.

She herself thought it's just a pity that Gajeel didn't come to the beach with them. He went somewhere else with Lily and trained there. She gets messages from him about how things were going and how he was doing, but it would still be nice to see him. When she saw Lucy like this, she also got the desire to be close to the person who made her heart race.

Lucy watched Naruto during his physical training and then summoned Capricorn and continued to train her stellar magic with him. She also had to clear her head a bit from seeing how Naruto's muscles were tense and how they twitched slightly. She had just wondered more than once what it would be like to be taken in the arms protected by these muscles. She blushed slightly and that was when she knew she should continue training herself.

An hour later, the two took a break and were at a booth with drinks. Lucy had taken a booth that was further away from the other Fairy Tail mages. She just wanted to spend her time with Naruto today. If Natsu saw him, he would only do something embarrassing again. Luckily, Lisanna was also on the beach and kept him under control. It was clear that these two had a very strong connection with each other. The two were the parents of Happy and Natsu had promised her that he would marry her. Lisanna was also the only person who could embarrass Natsu. With Lisanna, Natsu was like a different person.

Naruto took a sip of his drink and looked around. His muscles were still a bit tense from his physical training. There was not much going on at the beach and in general there was not much to see in this part of the beach. There weren't many people here either.

"Did the stellar spirit show you a new exercise?" asked Naruto, looking at Lucy. He had become accustomed to the sight of her bikini and could therefore control himself not to blush. At least if she talked to him and interacted with him normally. If Lucy were to do something like the question again, he would definitely blush.

"Yes. He showed me exactly how to summon 2 stellar spirits at once. I need to get more magical power for that." Lucy said, taking a sip of her drink herself. Naruto noticed her hand twitch briefly as she grasped the glass.

"Give me your hand for a moment." Naruto said and Lucy just did it without thinking. She blushed slightly when he took her hand and placed his other over her. He closed his eyes and seemed focused. Her heart began to beat faster. Her hand was much smaller than Naruto's and it seemed to fit perfectly in his hand. Naruto's hands were hard and quite rough, and Lucy found that really masculine and sexy. He was a man who could also tackle things and not just shirk anything. You could already see that on his hands. You only got such hands after a lot of hard work or training.

Lucy's hand felt Naruto lightly palpate her wrist. She flinched once and Naruto seemed to sense that as he pressed lightly on a spot. She twisted her wrist a bit while training with Capricorn and since then it had hurt a bit. She did not want to be seen as a wimp and therefore suppressed the pain so far.

"That might twitch for a moment," Naruto said, opening his eyes. He made a movement with both his hands while her hand was still between his and Lucy twitched briefly. A short stinging was felt, and a crack was heard. Naruto let go of the hand after the movement and Lucy opened it and closed the hand often surprised.

"It's gone!" said Lucy, surprised. She didn't feel the pain anymore! She couldn't believe that Naruto had simply adjusted her wrist with this movement.

"Your wrist was in a misposition, and I briefly straightened it out. Sorry if that hurt." Naruto said, looking slightly to the side and scratching the side of his face with one finger.

"Thank you, Naruto." said Lucy.

Naruto blushed as Lucy raised her hand and held it to his cheek. She herself was surprised that she was doing that. Her cheeks were also slightly red. Her smile was the most beautiful thing in the world for Naruto at that moment. "Thank you." Lucy said, unconsciously stroking his cheek with her thumbs.

Naruto just nodded and couldn't say anything at that moment. The moment was short-lived, because someone called Naruto's name. "NARUTO!" shouted a male voice.

Lucy took her hand directly from Naruto's cheek and turned bright red in the face. She looked away embarrassed and Naruto shook his head briefly and fought back that feeling. When he was able to control himself again, he looked to the side.

Naruto saw no one. He looked around and tried to spot someone. He saw no one but Lucy and himself. Even the person from the drinks stand was suddenly gone.

He closed his eyes and concentrated. He felt a familiar magical power. He opened his eyes and looked over his shoulder. "It's you." Naruto said.

"It's been a long time." said the man standing behind him with a serious expression. Naruto looked in front of him and as he expected, Lucy didn't move a bit, like everything else around him. Only he and the man behind him seem to be able to move.

"Do you always have to stop time when you visit me?" asked Naruto, turning to the person.

"I am officially dead. That's how it should stay, you know that. Do you have the book?" the person asked with a slightly annoyed expression.

Naruto touched his stomach and in a bright light a book appeared out of nowhere. "Here." Naruto said, handing the book to the man. "Thank you." the man said simply, holding out a small bag to Naruto. Naruto took the bag and then shook hands with the man.

"See you again Naruto." the man said, snapping his finger. Suddenly, time seemed to go back to normal and all the people who had disappeared before reappeared. The man, however, simply disappeared when he snapped his fingers. Naruto had long since made the bag disappear and turned back to Lucy beforehand.

'What a fellow.' Naruto thought and then started a conversation with Lucy again. He wondered what the guy gave him this time. He would have liked to find out before, but the guy always had to disappear right away and never gave Naruto time to see what the guy gave him.


Naruto was sitting at his desk, continuing to write his book. He spent the whole day with Lucy, but not much happened after the incident. They trained a bit more and then Lucy and Levy were called. That was 2 hours ago and now he was sitting in his hotel room and continuing to write his book.

Jiraiya jumped from the tree and landed in a crouch. He looked around and realized that he wasn't the only one around. Several shuriken flew towards him, and he had to use a substitution jutsu to avoid being fatally injured...

Naruto just kept writing and distracted himself a bit. He had long since checked the contents of the bag. (A/N: What exactly was in there, I'll keep to myself for now.)

'A lot has happened in the last few days.' Naruto thought as he put the pen aside and leaned back. He looked at the ceiling and folded his hands behind his head.

He was curious to see what happens next. In 3 months was the magic tournament and until then he still had to pass the time. He took out a hand from behind his head and held it in front of his face. A small vortex of wind appeared around his hand and shortly afterwards he disappeared again. Naruto sighed and stood up, he just wanted to get in the bathtub and relax a bit.


"Fight me!" said Natsu to Naruto.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked to the side. In front of him stood the fire mage, if he remembered correctly. He had pink hair and dark eyes. His physique was also muscular, although he didn't have quite as much as Naruto. He was currently wearing red swimming trunks with a black pattern at the bottom.

"What?" asked Naruto, slightly confused.

"You have to fight me!" said Natsu excitedly. He had accidentally heard Wendy and Levy talking about this weird Naruto. He was supposed to be a strong magician and if that's true, then he's fired up for a good fight.

"Why?" asked Naruto, slightly confused. He was just lying so nicely under the parasol and actually wanted to relax before he would train with Lucy again later.

"You're supposed to be a strong magician, and that's why you should fight me!" said Natsu.

"Can we do it in 30 minutes?" asked Naruto with some hope. Something about this guy told him he wouldn't let up until Naruto fought him.

Natsu actually wanted to say directly that Naruto should fight him now. Natsu just remembers that Lisanna wanted something else from him. "Ok, on the cliffs in 30 minutes! If you're not there, I'll find you!" said Natsu and then ran away full of energy. Naruto got some sweat on his forehead and looked after the Dragon Slayer for a moment.

He closed his eyes a little and enjoyed the weather. 'This holiday is definitely different from what I imagined.' Naruto thought. He started smiling slightly at the thought and got up 20 minutes later. He was also a bit curious to see how strong this magician was. After all, he's from the same guild as Lucy. The red guild badge on his shoulder was not to be misunderstood.

'His magical power has become stronger since the first day I saw him.' Naruto thought. This guy trained every day and very hard, Naruto could say that much for sure.

A few minutes later he was standing by the cliffs and could see the guy. He stood there grinning when he saw Naruto. 'The guy is really full of energy.' Naruto thought.

"Here I am." Naruto said. As always, he wore only his yellow swimming trunks with the black flames on them. "Well, finally! I'm already fired up!" said Natsu excitedly.

"What's your name? I haven't heard your name yet, or did you just introduce yourself?" asked Naruto.

Natsu blushed a little when he realized this fact. He was far too excited to fight Naruto. "My mistake hehe." said Natsu with a cheeky grin. "My name is Natsu Dragneel!" he said proudly.

"It's nice to meet you Natsu, my name is Naruto Namikaze. Let's have a good fight." he said, getting ready. He was curious to see how good Natsu really was. It's been a while since he had a friendship match against someone.

"I am fired up! Let's go!" shouted Natsu. He ran off and wrapped a fist in his dangerous flames. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu attacked Naruto with his fist and just before he could score, Naruto simply disappeared. Natsu's eyes widened as he saw Naruto simply disappear.

It was as if he had dissolved into wind. One moment he was still standing there and the next he just disappeared into the wind. Natsu had already known that Naruto could uses wind magic and could be faster with it than the others. However, he would not have thought of such a speed. Naruto himself was faster than Laxus and that said something. Laxus was one of Fairy Tail's fastest rental links.

Naruto appeared behind Natsu and kicked him in the back. Natsu flew away and before he even landed on the ground, Naruto appeared above him and made a downward blow. Naruto smashed Natsu into the ground, creating a small crater. Natsu gasped briefly and before he could react, his body was grabbed.

Naruto threw Natsu away and just looked after him. So far, he had only used his magic to get faster and otherwise he had only used pure strength. Naruto was one of the best magicians when it came to wind magic. Hardly anyone could use wind magic as well as he did. He was one of the few who could use the wind to make himself faster and even fly with it.

Natsu spun in the air and landed safely on both feet. He had a big grin on his face. "AMAZING! You are really strong! I'm fired up!" Natsu stormed off and again engulfed his fist in flames.

Naruto could see immediately that Natsu was more likely to go for it without a proper strategy. This time, Naruto simply fended off Natsu's fist with his hand and grabbed Natsu's fist. The flame around Natsu's fist disappeared and at the same time Naruto lifted him up and threw him away.

Natsu took a deep breath while he was still in the air, and his stomach widened in an inhuman way. Naruto had never really seen anything like it. Normally, the body of a human being should not be allowed to expand so much.

"Fire Dragon Roar!" A red magic circle first appeared in front of Natsu's mouth and immediately afterwards he unleashed a massive stream of fire from his mouth, turning everything to ashes. The air around the flames shimmered through the heat.

Naruto smiled slightly and just raised his hand, stretching out his arm. In front of him appeared a gray magic circle "Wind Magic: Tornado!" From the gray magic circle, a white tornado appeared, which hit the stream of fire directly after a few seconds.

A small shock wave was triggered when both spells collided. Fire and wind rubbed against each other before there was an explosion of fire and wind. A cloud of black smoke was created and Natsu and Naruto could not see each other.

Naruto made a movement with his arm and the black cloud of smoke was simply dissolved. A strong wind had briefly hit the black cloud of smoke before it dissipated.

Natsu rushed towards Naruto again. Naruto stood ready and tilted his body slightly backwards. He dodged a flying kick from Natsu. Natsu rotated in the air, enveloping his arm in flames. A vortex of flames formed around him and as he struck towards Naruto, the vortex rushed towards Naruto.

Naruto's right arm was suddenly surrounded by a white tornado. Naruto raised his arm and made a downward movement. A wave of sharp wind stormed out of Naruto's arm in the shape of a crescent moon. When both attacks collided, the vortex of fire was simply cut into 2 pieces and immediately afterwards there was another explosion.

Naruto crossed his arms in front of his body because Natsu had taken advantage of the action and made his next attack. He was flying towards Naruto, while his entire body was enveloped in his red flames. "Fire Dragon Sword Horn!" Natsu hit Naruto's crossed arms.

Naruto didn't budge a bit as Natsu bounced his crossed arms with all his strength. At first you would think that Natsu's attack simply had no power. But Natsu knew it better.

He could feel exactly how something was between him and Naruto's arms. He felt an invisible force pushing him back. It was very weak at first, but after that he could see the wind coming from Naruto.

"Wind Magic: Forceful Bashing!" Naruto pushed Natsu away, unleashing a strong blast of air from his entire body. It was as if Naruto was the source of a storm that was spreading in all directions. The resulting wind sphere spread further and further and Natsu was thrown away.

Naruto interrupted his spell and the strong wind stopped blowing from his body. Natsu slammed into a rock and gasped briefly when he felt the rock. The impact wasn't exactly gentle, and even Natsu couldn't completely ignore such pain.

Natsu stood up and grinned. He really enjoyed fighting Naruto. Naruto looked to the side and so Natsu looked to the side as well. In the meantime, there were a few spectators there. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he felt a strong magical power nearby. It didn't come from any of the Fairy Tail magicians.

Naruto thought he had felt this magical power before, but he wasn't quite sure were exactly.

"Oh, hey guys." Natsu said as he ran towards his comrades. He wanted to know what was going on.

"Idiot! Why do you always have to annoy everyone!" said Lucy annoyed. She had hoped Naruto wouldn't run into Natsu. She was really embarrassed. She would like to sink into the ground.

Naruto's eyes shimmered gray and wind gathered under his feet. Lucy was the first to notice that Naruto suddenly started floating and before anyone could say anything, he shot away, creating a sonic boom. He flew so fast that it broke the sound barrier, and this created the sonic boom. An air ring was another product of Naruto's start.

"NARUTOO!" Lucy tried to call him, but she was already too late. He was already too far away. She wanted to know what had gotten into him. Why did Naruto suddenly fly away and why did he have such a serious expression? She had never seen this expression on his face.

Naruto shot through the air, looking at the ground. His otherwise blue eyes shimmered gray and his entire body was currently surrounded by a gray aura. His eyes looked back and forth. He was looking for something and after a short time he found the thing he was looking for.

He disappeared in the wind and appeared on the forest floor. His gray aura disappeared, but his eyes continued to shimmer gray.

"So, you showed up," said a woman with long black hair. Her black eyes changed. They turned blood red with 3 black tomoe in each eye. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail and 2 long strands framed her face. She was currently wearing a black long cape, so you could only see the black boots.

Naruto didn't even know why he knew this magical power. His body reacted completely on its own. As if he had to find this magical power. When he saw this woman, it triggered something in him. He didn't even know what exactly. It awakened something inside him that was sealed many years ago.

He always knew that something was missing in his life. He could hardly remember anything of his life before the age of 16. It was as if he had just shown up at the age of 16 and everything before that would never have happened.

Naruto could remember cherry blossoms, a massive forest, a large village and a massive rock face. He didn't even know where this place was or what this village was called. He saw strange memories of a child who was in a food stall eating noodle soup.

Naruto held his head briefly and closed his right eye. He could see the faces of many other children. He did not know all these children and yet his feeling told him that he knew these children.

Naruto looked at the woman standing in front of him. She resembles a child from the memories he had just seen. At that time, the woman was just a child and not an adult woman.

A red magic circle appeared in front of the woman's mouth, and she took a short breath. Naruto narrowed his eyes. He stood ready and clapped his hands together.

"Fire Magic: Great Fireball!" The woman unleashed a massive fireball from her mouth. It was only a small flame, but when the flame touched the red circle, the flame exploded and formed into a massive fireball. The fireball also left a depression in the ground as it moved towards Naruto.

"Wind Magic: Storm Shield!" In front of Naruto, a gray magic circle appeared on the ground and immediately afterwards a swirling windscreen appeared in front of him. The windshield turned like a tornado and when the fireball hit the windshield the fire was spread in all directions.

The woman appeared next to Naruto in a flash, her right hand surrounded by blue lightning. Naruto looked over his shoulder and a gray aura appeared around him. A blue aura pulsated around the woman at the moment.

Above Naruto's right palm a sphere of pure ethernano appeared out of nowhere and at the same time he turned to the woman and thrusted his right arm forward with the sphere above his palm.

"Lightning Magic: Chidori!" The woman thrusted her arm forward and the lightning became even more concentrated in her hand. The lightning danced outwards from time to time and so it looked as if the woman had a small lightning storm around her hand.

"Energy Make: Rasengan!" Naruto's spell met the woman's spell, and a shock wave was triggered. A small crater formed directly under the two, creating a wind sphere around the two, which spread in all directions. All the trees around the two were directly uprooted and everything else was also torn out of the earth and swept away.

Blue lightning and pure ethernano flew around the two as both spells rubbed against each other. A white sphere appeared around the two and this white sphere continued to spread until this sphere contracted again and there was a massive explosion.

Naruto was several kilometers away from the beach, but even there you could feel and see the bright light and vibration in the ground. The magicians of Fairy Tail were all looking for Naruto, but when they saw this massive white pillar of light and the explosion that followed, everyone was worried. Lucy was particularly worried. In exactly this direction, Naruto had just disappeared.

When the explosion stopped, it revealed a massive crater with Naruto and the woman in the middle. Both just looked into each other's eyes. Many would think that these two mages were severely injured by this powerful explosion, but in the end both magicians had only minor scratches on their bodies.

A blue aura appeared around the woman and blue lightning danced around her from time to time. A gray aura appeared around Naruto and visible air swirled around him. Both opponents looked into each other's eyes and when a small leaf fell to the ground between the two, both simply disappeared.

There was a shockwave in the air. Naruto's fist was surrounded by a small white tornado, while the woman's fist was surrounded by blue lightning. Naruto disappeared in the wind and the woman in a blue flash. Both appeared again and again in the air in front of each other and let their limbs collide with each other and there was always a small shock wave.

All the animals in the area were already moving away from these two strong magicians. Animals had always a good sense of danger and this fight was dangerous for all animals in the area.

Naruto appeared on the forest floor and looked right in front of him. The woman also appeared on the forest floor. Her red eyes swirled around a little before they changed. One could see a hexagonal star, where before 3 tomoe could be seen.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and concentrated his magical power. The earth around him began to dissolve and individual debris rose to the sky, while a gray aura developed around Naruto.

'What's that?' Naruto couldn't believe how strong he was right now. It was as if he was getting stronger in the fight against this woman. He felt all the time how his powers became more and more and something changed inside him. Normally, he would never have survived this extreme explosion of earlier so unscathed. He should normally have had severe burns, but he just had a few scrapes and nothing else.

The magical power of this woman became even stronger as her red eyes changed into this strange shape. Naruto didn't know exactly why, but he wouldn't complain about the extra power.

"Wake up, Naruto." the woman's voice was a little emotionless, but also a bit challenging. It was as if she was mocking him and flirting with him at the same time. It was weird.

Naruto's aura changed. His usually grey aura began to turn red and his eyes changed as well. His previously blue eyes turned blood red with a black slit and 6 whisker marks appeared on his cheeks.

He remembered something from his past. He could remember a majestic monster. It had the shape of a fox with 9 tails and red fur. He didn't know exactly why, but he knew exactly that he got this power from this Tailed Beast.

Before anything else could happen, the woman relaxed, and her eyes returned to normal. The blue aura with the blue lightning disappeared around her and Naruto relaxed as well. His eyes turned blue again and the 6 whisker marks disappeared again. His crimson red aura turned gray again before it disappeared.

Before he could even react, the woman appeared in front of him and pressed her lips to Naruto's lips. His eyes widened and his body froze. He knew that feeling. This feeling of those ice-cold, soft and almost hypnotic lips. It was as if his body did not obey him at this kiss.

Before he could even react externally, the woman moved away from him again. She grinned slightly "See you next time, loser." said the woman and immediately afterwards she disappeared in a flash.

Naruto shook his head and looked at the spot where the woman disappeared. He really didn't know what was happening here. It seemed that this woman knew him well. She had awakened something in him that had been hidden for a long time.

He suddenly gasped as he suddenly filled so weakly. He became dizzy and began to stagger. He frowned. He would like to know what's wrong with him. He heard someone shouting his name and then everything went black before his eyes and he fell unconscious.
