Phantom Lord's Folly

Hello everyone and welcome back to another chapter! It's been a while since I've last updated this story! I haven't forgotten about it I promise! Just been working on other stories, that's on me for starting other ones when I've already got this story. Of course, I'll get to it and finish this when I can! With that said let's get to some reviews!

gmhribrahimsoleh89 chapter 6 . Apr 29: I'm not sure on how to say this but maybe you need to be more aware of what you type or seek a beater reader. Coz right now, you continuously type a person's name while describing about that person after every sentence. Example: Naruto blah blah blah. Naruto blah blah blah. Etc. etc. If you describing about the same person, there's no need to type that person's name over and over again. You only write a person's name when you want to shift the reader's focus to a different character. Example: Naruto blah blah blah etc etc. new paragraph another character's name blah blah blah etc etc etc

SoP: I've took your review into consideration. I've been trying to do better on that!

With that said, why don't we get into the story! Also, Levy and Lucy aren't bad honestly, there's so much more to them. Just need the right characters around them to change their personalities. I think Naruto is the one to do it.

*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 *Fairy Tail*

Naruto arrived back to his house first to get Eric, and then bring the Heartfillia to Fairy Tail. Naruto knew Makarov was going to give him an earful, didn't care what he did. All he knew is he protected the people he cared of. Once Naruto went to Fairy Tail he found the lights on and Naruto walked through the doors of the guild. Naruto found Makarov sitting over by the bar with all of the other members of Fairy Tail there. Jet, Droy, and Levy were sitting at a table to looks like where they had something to eat and drink.

Naruto, having Heartfillia follow him, walked through the doors and went up to Makarov. Even with the height difference, Naruto could feel the anger coming off of Makarov. There was nothing but silence in the guild hall. After what seemed like hours, to what was only two minutes, Makarov spoke, "Tell me… did you make it even?"

"Yes, with telling them more to come if they do something foolish."

"Did you call for Jose?"

"I did… I will beat him into the ground."

Makarov looked to Naruto as he let a sigh out and nodded his head, "For if he comes… make sure you show him no mercy." Makarov decided to let Naruto handle this situation by him and only him. Makarov was already happy Naruto defended Fairy Tail's own, he certainly was willing to do whatever it took to protect the people he cared about. Makarov turned to the Heartfillia family, "As the master of the Fairy Tail Guild, I am taking Lucy and her family under our protection!" Makarov turned to the other members, "BECAUSE OF JOSE'S ACTIONS AGAINST US! WE WILL DEFEND THEM WITH OUR LIVES! IF THEY COME TO ATTACK! THIS WILL MEAN WAR!"

"HELL YEAH!" Everyone in the guild shouted out in rage and anger at what Phantom Lord did. Everyone was ready to go to war.

*This Chapter Makarov's Office*

Naruto found himself in Makarov's office after he filled him in on some information. Makarov stood by the blinds and peeked through. Lucy, Layla, Jude, and Eric. They were being welcomed and cared for by Lisanna, Mira, and Elfman. The Strauss siblings were doing their best to look out for them.

Many were surprised by Lucy's status as a Heartfillia, of course, this attack on them was unprovoked. It was unsure who sent such a kidnapping on the family. Currently, Makarov and Naruto were trying to figure that out. "Master do you have any idea of who it was? Who could do something like this?"

Makarov sat in his chair wondering about said question. He wasn't sure, there were no leads, no information. The only was already there being hatred towards one another. "Sorry my boy, I can't think of anything. There's plenty of reasons many guilds don't like us, we don't make it easy for many guilds to like us. There are many dark guilds who would want us out of the picture. But for Jose to do something like this, he wouldn't do this without there being something in it for him."

"He's a wizard saint right? There's gotta be some sort of repercussions for this?!"

"There will be, I've already put a report into the magic council and hopefully they'll do something."

"Tch, if it is to waste our time or try to find a way to put the blame on us, I swear."

"Wouldn't put it past them to do exactly that, my boy." Makarov sighed as he sank into his chair unsure of what the next move. He already wanted to march towards the guild and take down Jose for what he did to Lucy. Then already for what he did to Levy, Jet, and Droy too, he was thankful for Naruto being there. Without the skills he had at his disposal, who knows where Jet, Droy, and Levy would be at right now. "I must ask though, how is your condition currently?"

Naruto felt around himself feeling his chakra network. Strangely enough, the sun mark he received from Hagoromo didn't help. Guess there are just some things that can't heal, which is stupid. Only because he was able to prevent Might Guy from death. "Worsening bit by bit, the more I stress myself in using the chakra the worse it gets. For now, of course, there's nothing much I can do about it. Just keep searching is all I can do."

"Very well, for now we'll have to wait and see what happens. Why don't you go rest up, besides," Makarov moved the blinds by his fingers to see Lucy waiting by the bar, "I think a certain blonde someone is looking for you."

"Well, for now Levy, Jet, and Droy are stable and fully healed… traumatized… maybe. I'll have to look into another time." Naruto raised his hand into the air as he began to walk out of the office, "Till then master."

Naruto came walking out of the office as Lucy ran up to Naruto. The rest of Fairy Tail looked at Naruto rather happily. "Naruto! I know you and master had to talk, but I just have to say. Thank you! It was very brave of you." Before Naruto could answer Naruto placed her arms around Naruto hugging him tightly.

The Sage of Fairy Tail could only chuckle as he hugged her back, "Course Luce, I'd do anything for you and your family. You're the ones who took me in and helped me out, least I could do."

"Oh Naruto, look how much you've grown." Naruto looked up to see Layla come walking up to him, "My, you've grown into quite the looker I see." Naruto blushed at the comment, to which many of the females in Fairy Tail nodded their heads in agreement.

Of course, Mira could only frown in annoyance hearing this from Layla. It was clear that Layla favored Naruto to be with Lucy.

"It's good to see you Layla, I'm glad you're doing alright. I made sure everyone back at the mansion is safe too."

"Thank you Naruto," Jude came walking up with Eric walking next to him, "Thank you for rescuing my family and making sure our staff are alright. I can't thank you enough." The father of Lucy knew there were no words to express his gratitude. If he could offer his daughter's hand in marriage to him in a heartbeat!

Of course, he knows he doesn't need to do it. It was already quite obvious to him and his wife that Lucy likes Naruto.

"Please, Jude, no need to say that. It's the right thing to do."

"We could make it up to you." Layla had a smile at Naruto with an idea in her head, "Why don't you wed Lucy."

...

Everyone in the guild grew silent.

"WHAT?! MOTHER?!" Lucy screamed.

"Shush Lucy." Layla looked towards her daughter causing her to freeze up. Layla had a seemingly cold aura around her with her closed eye smile.

"W-Wait, Layla I don't think-"

"Naruto." The mother of Lucy didn't take her eyes off Naruto, not like she had them open to begin with.

"Yes Ma'am!" Even the rest of the guild had to take a step back. If one woman could cause Naruto, NARUTO, the one who beat Erza in a one-on-one battle. Course this gained everyone's respect.

"Might I need to remind you…" She paused for the moment as she walked up to Naruto and then grabbed his earlobe, "When you left to go out on your own for a while. Now, I appreciate the visits and the letters in the beginning… but I remember strictly. That I asked for constant messaging, contact, and you stopping by to visit over the five years you left?! Totally not like I invited you to my house. Fed you, taught you, clothed you," Layla raised an eyebrow, "Do I need to go on?"

"no…" The whiskered Sage said meekly.

"Good." Layla turned around and began to walk back towards her husband and Eric, "Now as I appreciate the things you do for us. Learn to take some credit, seriously… you saved our lives." Layla then eased up on Naruto as she gave him a gentle smile. "You've done a lot for us, so at least let us continue to show you our thanks. Besides, if you feel bad, which you do now, right?"

"Well… after all that a little bit."

"Will it make you feel better if I asked something in return?"

"Sure, anything, I'd do anything for you guys." Naruto smiled back sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head. He really did care for Eric, Layla, and Jude, they have done a lot for him. Lucy was practically one of his best friends too.

Lucy let a sigh of relief out along with everyone else in the guild.

"Then you only are allowed to call me, mother."

"Excuse me, what?" Naruto looked at Layla with wide eyes, including Lucy.

Mira was looking angrily at Layla, as she was basically shoving Lucy into Naruto's face. Lisanna was unsure of what to do, until Mira and Layla made eye contact. Lucy looked worried, Mira was upset, to which she knows why, and her mother was upset! They look like they could break out into a brawl!

Layla smirked as she stepped away from Jude and Eric, "Anata… Eric, you might want to take a step back."

Mira walked forward seeing a worthy challenger approach, "I see… the bitch wants to try me."

Lucy looks onwards worriedly, "WHY DOES THIS TYPE OF THING ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME? BESIDES WHY IS MOTHER PUSHING THIS SO HARD?! SHE'S ABOUT TO THROW HANDS WITH SHEDEVIL MIRAJNE STRUASS?!"

Naruto sweat dropped as Layla got read and so did Mira. Not wanting anything to happen, "H-Hey you two!" Just then Mira and Layla both shot Naruto a disapproving glare at Naruto causing him to shut up.

Happy flew over to Lucy and asked, "Lucy, why is your mother fighting your battles. You're kind of pathetic."

"HEY?! I HAVE YOU KNOW I CAN KICK YOUR ANNOYING ASS HAPPY?!"

"Oooooo! Let's put a bet on this!" Natsu called, out, "Betting 5,000 jewels on Mira and 5,000 on Lucy!"

"Aye?! How could you Natu?!" Happy looked to Natsu betrayed.

Naruto facepalmed, but nonetheless he chuckled looking at the guild. Ironically, it seemed Layla had no issue fitting into Fairy Tail.

Just then was explosion of power and everyone saw that Mirajane transformed into her Satan Soul.

Layla held up five of Lucy's golden keys. Next to her stood Taurus, Aquarius, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Virgo. Lucy's mother herself was currently in a rather skimpy battle attire ready to battle Mira.

Everyone felt Layla's magic power matching Mira's, which surprised everyone.

"Ah shit, probably gonna need to stop this before it gets out of hand." Naruto looked onwards with a deadpanned expression on his face. "Gotta admit Nya! Layla is fierce and ferocious and is willing to fight for her Lucy! That Mira girl really knows what she wants!" "Not now Matatabi."

Eric nervously looked up to his father, "Otou-san… Okaa-chan is scary."

"It's why I married her son… or it's that time of the month again."

"Huh?" Eric simply tilted his head confused.

*Next Day Fairy Tail Guild*

After Naruto was able to get Layla to calm down, with the help of Jude and Eric. Thankfully, an all-out brawl between Layla and Mira didn't ensue. Currently the Heartfillia family were staying over in Naruto's house. Lucy still had her apartment to return to, but Makarov made sure everyone bunk together.

Safety in numbers.

Meaning, Lucy shared her apartment with Erza that way, no one was alone.

Naruto decided to leave Matatabi back at his house, that way she could watch over Layla, Jude, and Eric. Of course, Layla was suspicious of Matata, but she quickly cleared up any misunderstanding. Matatabi simply was like an aunt to Naruto and saw him as her son. Which entirely wasn't wrong, Matatabi did see Naruto as such.

Naruto was making his way back towards the guild and saw Erza and Lucy. Erza called over to him, "Morning Naruto, how did everything go last night?"

Naruto looked back towards his house, "Everything should be fine now, I got someone trustworthy to look after Lucy and her family." Matatabi also made sure to hide her special features.

"I see, well with the people you know. You'll do a good job in protecting them. Well for now we should go in to see what master says."

"Thanks for taking my family in Naruto, I don't know if I would have felt safe knowing if they were anywhere else." Lucy gave Naruto a heartfelt smile to which he simply nodded his head and said, 'No problem at all.'

The three went inside of the guild hall to find everyone still in an uproar. Naruto did see Jet, Droy, and Levy up and back on their feet. The three made their way over, "Levy, Jet, Droy! Glad to see you three on your feet."

Droy nodded his head thankful to Naruto, "Yeah, thanks to you healing our wounds. We recovered pretty quickly."

"Yeah! You're the best Naruto, thankfully Porlyusica doesn't have to kill us for getting hurt again."

"I doubt she would be mad for you being abused." The whiskered sage of Fairy Tail chuckled, "Levy, how you feeling?" Naruto walked up to her as he began to check over her bandages.

"Great, since you healed up pretty quick, we didn't suffer too much of anything." Levy looked up to her blonde savior thankful, but also felt bad. She felt bad because she felt useless.

Naruto could tell something was wrong, it was a different matter. Not physical issue, he would have to ask later.

Soon Makarov came walking over, "It seems your wounds are all healing nicely, damn fine good job Naruto. Thank you again." The third guild master gave him a small bow.

"Of course, but no need to bow to me master. It's expected of me to help a fellow guild member, besides I knew I could do something about it. I'm just glad they're up and on their feet."

"Course you would say that, but now we wait to see what happens." Makarov looked in the distance with an annoyed glare on his face.

"Well, if that's the case then we can-." *rumble* "Huh what's that?" Naruto turned his head towards the door along with everyone else in Fairy Tail. *rumble* The Sage of Fairy Tail began to walk towards the front doors.

Once everyone went to walk outside Naruto was shocked to see the sight before him. There was the semi-damaged guild hall of Phantom Lord. However, it was walking and moving with a strange magical barrier around it. The ground from which it was pulled up from surrounded the base. With a large barrel sticking out of the front and four long metal legs supporting it. "What the hell…" Natsu looked onwards.

Natsu took the words right out of everyone else's mouth. "M-Master… you know what this is… right?" Naruto didn't even turn to look at Makarov as he just looked slacked jawed.

The gall that Phantom Lord had.

"If they want to start a fight! They'll get one coming!" Natsu punched his fist into the palm of his open hand.

"You got that right." Gray had ice magic begin to come off his hands.

Erza equipped a sword, Lisanna and Mira began to prepare themselves to fight as well. Elfman was ready along with more Fairy Tail members getting ready.

Fairy Tail waited as the giant moving guild came closer until it stopped. Makarov walked forward to see Jose come walking out from the top. Jose had a megaphone Lacrima used to boost his voice, "Hello Fairy Tail flies! I hope you're ready to meet you end!" Jose yelled maniacally over the Lacrima. "I'll only say this once! Bring out the Heartfillia family at once! If not then we will fire the Jupiter cannon!"

Naruto shouted out, "THEN WE'LL STOP YOU! IT'S NOT HARD DESTROYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"

Jose could only chuckle as he smirked, "Oh yes! I'm sure you or Erza Scarlet could very much do so! However,… if there are only one of you here then that means something else."

"The hell does he mean by that?" Natsu looked confused from Jose's words.

"What does he mean by that Naruto?" Erza looked at Naruto worried.

"Matatabi! Do you still have the Heartfillia family right?!" "Yes I do Naruto, what's wrong?" "Phantom Lord is attacking us and are demanded the family. For now, watch over them and stay alert just in case!" "Got it!"

"Naruto, let me handle the giant cannon. I could destroy it easily." "As much as I'd want you to, there's too many innocents here. Like everyone else, it's too risky, even if you were to shrink yourself. Everyone doesn't need to know about chakra just yet, it's too early." Just then Naruto felt seals that he placed in a certain village disappear. "WAIT?! MY HIRAISHIN MARKERS! HOW?!" Naruto looked up to Jose with anger in his eyes.

"OH?! Did you figure it out already Naruto?! Hehehe it's not hard to pick up information on you, actually it was quite easy. Everyone in Mangrove Village were quite nice from what I've heard from my Elemental Four." Jose laughed as he looked down to Naruto, "So, what is it Naruto?! Abandon your guildmates to go save a village you promised to look after? Or leave them to suffer… Hehehe Ahahahaha!"

Naruto glared daggers at the Wizard Saint, to how he got that title, is beyond him. "Master… Erza… I believe you two have this! They need me! Those kids NEED ME!" Naruto not wanting to waste any time, quickly gathered chakra into his body. Naruto felt Kurama's chakra circulate throughout his entire body.

Kurama who sat in the seal felt Naruto's anger, he could tell his partner was furious and needed him. In the seal it was dark, but two glowing red eyes within the seal appeared. "Naruto! Let's do this!" "YOU GOT IT! NO ONE MESSES WITH THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT!" Naruto was quickly enveloped in a chakra cloak which took everyone in the guild back. Makarov was completely enamored by Naruto's form.

Before anyone else could say anything, Naruto shot off like a rocket from his spot. Leaving a smoking crater in his wake.

Everyone, including Lucy and the others wanted to ask questions. However, that would have to wait till later. Just then everyone watched as the giant cannon began to charge as magic was beginning to be poured into it. "EVERYONE! DOWN!" Erza shouted as he prepared to Requip into one of her strongest armors.

"AAAAARRGGggggg!" Everyone in Fairy Tail looked back to see Makarov gray like a stone statue.

"MASTER!" Everyone screamed.

Just then a person appeared nearby not too far away from Makarov. An extremely tall and massive man with tanned skin. He possessed a rectangular, elongated face with prominent cheekbones, which has his rounded chin jut downwards, something that somehow negates the somewhat angular look his face would have otherwise. A thin, vertical dark line is present on the chin, crossing its whole length up to his lower lip, and his nose is flat.

"It's Aria! One of the Elemental Four! Get back!" Erza shouted as she turned to him sword in hand ready to attack him.

Though, faster than the eye can see, Aria quickly zipped around and disappeared from sight. Everyone looked around, but everyone heard the charging roar of Jose's Jupiter Cannon. "He got back into the guild! The cannon is charging up! Mira! Lisanna! Get master back into the guild! We need to contact Laxus and Mystogen! We need them!"

"On it!" Lisanna and Mira shouted in unison as they picked Makarov and ran back inside.

Erza growled out as she reequipped her adamantine armor. "Naruto, get back here as fast as you can!"

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*With Naruto*

Naruto was speeding through the forest trying to get to Mangrove village. By magical vehicle it could take up to four hours to get there. By running at speeds faster than the eye can see with a chakra cloak active. Definitely cutting it down to almost thirty minutes or even less. Good thing, Naruto can easily teleport back.

Naruto was angry with himself, "Dammit! I should have placed seals on the buildings! Mayors house! The orphanage! Even give Miyuki and damn Hiraishin kunai! Dammit! DAMMIT! I swear if anything happens to those kids!" "Easy Naruto, they'll be fine, just focus on getting there as fast as you can. Once you find them, teleport back him, I can watch over them with Kurama if you want me to."

"Not a bad idea Matatabi, Kurama I hope you don't mind some babysitting. Just stay in your medium dog sized form though."

"Tch, fine." Naruto jumped off a branch of a tree trying to rocket towards the village as fast as possible.

After about twenty-eight minutes Naruto arrived at Mangrove village. Quickly he dismissed his chakra cloak and saw the village on fire. Well at least the surrounding forest on fire and the villages working hard to put the fire out. Naruto saw the trees were burnt down thus why his Hiraishin markers disappeared. On who specifically did this, most likely grunts who worked in Phantom Lord.

Naruto ran into the village as he quickly began to mold some fire chakra in his lungs. Fire Style: Great Fire Ball Jutsu! Naruto spewed a large ball of fire into the sky, Naruto made sure to keep the heat to a certain degree. Thankfully, sending the fireball into the sky caused the nearby river to evaporate water from it. Which quickly brought in rain clouds, Naruto then channeled magic into the air and took hold of the water in the sky. Causing more water droplets to appear within the clouds, causing the clouds to darken.

Though not enough to cause a thunderstorm, but enough for a downpour to happen. Like that water began to fall and Naruto himself ran around putting fires out. It took Naruto about ten minutes to do so, as his clones helped put out fires.

Once Naruto put the fires out the villagers of Mangrove recognized him in the fray. Quickly went up to him and thanked him for his help. Naruto, of course said he noticed they were in danger and was in the area to help out.

Sadly, there were some wounded, and Naruto quickly healed them using medical ninjutsu. When they asked, he just said it was a new form of healing magic. Which they chose not to neither test nor question their blonde savior.

Soon Naruto made his way towards the orphanage to find it burnt. Though was still standing, thankfully teaching the kids to use magic was the right choice. Michele and Mark were tired and exhausted after using their magic to put out fires.

Naruto ran over and said, "Michele! Mark! So glad to see you all, alright. Where are the others?"

"They're okay Naruto-Nii, they were running towards the river with buckets to help put fires out." Mark looked up to Naruto with a bright smile on his face.

"Are you okay Naruto-Nii?" Michele looked up to Naruto with a worried look on her face. She could tell he was upset.

"Its just… I just wish I was here sooner is all, just glad no one was seriously hurt." Naruto knelt down to their height and rubbed their heads. Naruto waved his hand in the air causing the clous above to dissipate.

"Naruto?!" A voice shouted causing the blonde sage to look over to see Miyuki and the rest of the kids.

"Oh! Miyuki! So glad you guys are all alr-!" Naruto couldn't even finish as before he knew it, he was tackled by everyone to the ground.

"Naruto-Nii!" Majority of the kids called out, meanwhile Becky shouted, "Naruto-Nii-sama!"

Naruto chuckled as he slowly sat up with all the kids holding onto him. Though Becky had her arms around his neck as she was on his back. "Glad to see you all well, a little wet, but well. That's a relief."

Miyuki could only giggle as she walked up, "I assume the rain was your doing, Naruto?"

"Yes, it was, but it was no biggie, I was in the area when I saw the fire." Naruto went rubbed the top of Ace's and Becky's heads causing them to giggle, "The kids treating you well?"

"Of course, Nii-chan! Always!" Michele puffed her cheeks out.

"Yeah! We always listen to Miyuki-Okaa-san!"

"Yeah, we stick together!"

"It's what we all do!"

"Yeah! Michele and I even helped put the fires out with our water magic!" Mark boasted as Michele nodded her head in agreement.

"You all did well, and I'm glad to see you all safe." Sadly, Naruto had to gently remove the kids from holding onto him, "As much as I want to stay, I can't. My guild is under attack by Phantom Lord."

"Oh, no! Well quickly you need to get back then and help out!" Miyuki quickly stated as she began to push Naruto to get going.

"Woah, hold on a moment, I got someone who will help you out. Incase someone tries to do something." Naruto took his right hand and placed it between his lips and let out a loud whistle.

Soon a red one tailed fox came running out of the trees. Kurama took on the size of a dog, and had to yip, which was quite emberassing for him, to keep his identity a secret. "He's a friend I made along my journey, and he'll look out for you all. Sadly, I need to get going kids, Miyuki, my guild needs me."

"I understand Naruto but thank you for saving our village." Miyuki smiled as she placed a hand on his shoulder, "Good to see you again too, but do what you need to do, okay?"

"Yeah you got it, I promise to come back and explain everything. Ja Ne!" Naruto gave them a small salute and took off into the trees. Once he was far enough away, he quickly Hiraishin back towards the marker in the guild.

A/N: I am sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted to get this chapter out A.S.A.P because I think a lot of people thought I dropped this. I promise I didn't, just been busy job searching. As well as trying to study for the content text to teach high school history as well. I promise you all that there are more to come, and this story. Along with my Naruto Sitri story will, for no on, be the two stories I am focusing on.

I did decide to continue writing the Quintessential Quintuplet story and the Ninja's Hero Academia. The Ninja's Hero Academia is being reworked from the ground up, so that story's restart will come later. I'd like to catch up on the anime and manga before I do so.

So, no this story IS NOT dead, still being worked on. Just busy trying to get my life together on what the hell I'm doing for this fall.

Also, I did originally plan on having Phantom Lord kidnap the kids from Miyuki's orphanage. But I think having them do that is a bit too low, because I think not all of them are like that. So, this was the best alternative, as to how fast Naruto is truly? I'm not sure at top speed, but I think originally a distance being four-hour drive, to a thirty-minute run. I think is reasonable for his speed.

That said, Sage of Prophecy OUT! Ja Ne!
