Fairy Tail's Six Paths Sage Jinchuuriki
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Fairy Tail. Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail is owned by Hiro Mashima respectively. Certain elements of this story were inspired by other Naruto/Fairy Tail crossovers.
AN1: since Thursday I didn't get ANY email notifications from fanfic! Did anyone else get that problem? I finally solved it Monday by resetting my email settings so sorry for late responses and everything!
By the way I really would appreciate if people stop complaining about short chapters! If I don't do them in bite sized chapters I lose interest and don't work on them at all (look at Reading the Fox Scroll!)
Btw the way I was going to do the arc in ONE chapter but I realize even in the anime this arc is like 4 episodes so I am splitting it. (hey I am one writing this story so if you don't like t don't read! simply as that!) Naruto is not going to be a loner and solve every problem himself. He learned from Itachi if he tries to do everything by himself, he will become arrogant like Madara after all. He wants to grow WITH his guildmates not treat them as kids he has to protect.
Chapter 9 Gathering the Strongest Team in Fairy Tail!
"Ok Naruto let us go to Clover town, ambush this despicable guild and stop whatever evil they are trying to spread!" Erza declared with a fire in her eyes.
"Uh how about backup from the guild?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You and I should be more then enough." Erza insisted as he placed her hands on her hips in annoyance.
"True." Naruto admitted. "But it would be better if we had at least 2 members tag along so they can get some experience for the future." Naruto remarked as they started walking back to the Fairy Tail guild Hall.
"No, I will not put our comrades in harm's way! This is a Dark Guild not some bandits or anything!" Erza growled protectively.
"Yeah it's a dark guild and guess what? They will still be around forever! We need our friends to get experience fighting them and with me and you it would be a perfect experience instead of them getting ambushed on another job out of nowhere!" Naruto retorted knowing that this was experience was similar to how 3-man squads in Konoha got sued to harder missions.
Erza glared at the defiant Naruto until her warm brown eyes softened and she smiled warmly "You're right I am being too overprotective and with 2 S-class wizards it will be perfect with a few others. Sorry I lashed out at you Naruto." Erza apologized with a slight bow.
Naruto grinned and gave her a thumbs up "No Problem! Any suggestions of who we should pick? You have been in the guild longer." Naruto asked as they continued walking no longer in disguise.
"I think Natsu and Gray would be good on a job like this." Erza remarked as Naruto nodded absentmindedly. "Oh, and Lucy too!" Erza added after some thought.
"Lucy?" Naruto asked with confusion.
"Yeah I heard some good rumpus about her job with Natsu to the mountains." Erza claimed as they neared the guild hall.
Naruto frowned but then shrugged 'I guess with Erza and I we can protect the others if worst comes to worst.' He thought.
They arrived back in the guild where most od the members were still there chatting happily until Erza cleared her throat loudly causing everyone to stare at her at once.
"Listen Naruto and I have found disturbing news so we have decided to investigate. I am inviting Gray and Natsu to join us." Erza announced as Natsu and Gray go angry looks at each other.
"I gotta work with him?!" Natsu fumed silently.
"No Way him?!" Gray fumed as well.
"Will that be a problem gentleman?" Erza asked with frown.
"Of course not! We would love to Erza!" Natsu said with a fake happy smile as he put his arm around Grays shoulder.
"Good also I would like Lucy to join us too. Please meet me at the train station tomorrow by noon. That is all." Erza announced as she walked back outside giving Naruto a nod.
"Wait Erza!" Natsu yelled as Erza turned around with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes?" Erza asked curious.
"I will come along if you fight me when we get back!" Natsu declared as everyone gave him incredulous looks.
"Very well I shall see how powerful you have become." Erza replied with a smile as she left the guild.
"Wait I gotta come too?!" Lucy said afraid as Naruto went over.
"Don't worry! Think about it as a learning experience! Us 4 will do all the hard lifting while you will be support." Naruto told reassuringly. When Lucy still looked afraid, he said with conviction "No need to worry as I will protect you with my life." Naruto declared as Lucy face went crimson and Mira frowned deeply.
"Anyways try to get to sleep Lucy! Bye guys I will see everyone tomorrow!" Naruto declared as he walked out with a grin. He didn't hear the snickering of the guild of his loud declaration to Lucy.
"I am going home too…" Lucy said timidly with still a blush as she ran out of the guild shortly.
"Wow Naruto-Nii, Erza-san, Gray, and Natsu together. They may be the strongest team in Fairy Tail!" Lissanna declared as she winced seeing her big sister glare at Erza's name.
"Why does Naruto get all the luck?! He gets to be on the same team as Erza and my dear Lucy!" Loke whined before he whimpered seeing a demon glare from Mira.
The next day
"I know Mira-san secretly asked me to watch over those two and make sure they don't fight too much but it seems like a lost cause." Lucy whined as she sat patiently with her spirit Plu in her arms. Her one piece of luggage sat on the ground while Happy the Cat was chewing on a fish from gods knows where.
"Haha only Erza can actually make those two cooperate." Happy laughed as they watched Gray and Natsu tussle and argue much to the crowd's fear.
"I hope I didn't make you wait long." Erzas calm voice asked behind Lucy.
"Of course not we were just-" Lucy answered back cutting off her herself when she saw Erza dragging a wagon filled with luggage easily towering herself. 'So much stuff! Does she think we are going away for a month or something?' Lucy thought to herself in shock.
"Where is Naruto?" Erza asked looking around as Lucy clinked realizing she had not seen her fellow blonde.
"Haha Naruto is late!" Natsu laughed as Natsu and Gray had stopped arguing as soon as Erza had arrived.
"I am behind you guys." Naruto said calmly as everyone turned to see Naruto causally standing there with 6 Bento lunch boxes in his arms. Everyone leaped not realizing Naruto was standing there with even Natsu dragon enhanced sense of smell not picking anything up in such a crowded space.
"Anyways I arrived beforehand so I brought everyone lunch so we could eat on the ride there." Naruto said cheerfully pointing at the lunch in his arms.
"You are the best friend ever!" Natsu declared drooling at the Bento boxes in Naruto's arms.
"Uh thanks I guess?" Naruto said awkwardly as they walked into an empty cabinet with Erza dumping her luggage in an empty compartment.
Naruto handed one Bento box to each of his new teammates when everywhere sat down in a large compartment that could hold 8 people easily. Naruto sat in between Erza and Lucy since he had gotten used to them enough not to blush instantly while Happy sat in between Gray and Natsu across from them.
"Geez only one box for me!" Natsu said with a pout as he finished half of the box in little over a minute while the rest of the team calmly ate into the boxes.
"Show some matter Natsu! Naruto was being nice for buying us lunch when the rest of us didn't even bring food!" Gray scolded in annoyance at Natsu's rudeness while Lucy nodded eagerly.
"Gray's right Natsu. What Naruto did was wonderful for us so don't spoil it by whining." Erza scolded with a glare as Natsu meekly apologized.
Naruto sighed as he gave Natsu the last box in his arms which he hadn't even eaten yet. "Here. I was planning to give this one to Happy anyways but he has a fish so here." Naruto explained as Natsu started having manly tears of gratitude. Natsu thanked Naruto about 10 times before he snatched the box and dug in.
"Wait what are you going to eat then Naruto?" Lucy asked guiltily as she realized they ate Naruto's food and didn't get him anything.
"And where is your luggage?" Gray decided to ask looking around and not seeing Naruto carry anything else onto the train.
"Same answer." Naruto said cheekily as eh brought out a scroll with a letter for 'travel' on it. He put a small amount of magic in it and much to everyone surprise there was a suitcase on the floor now and a steaming hot bowl of ramen with chopsticks in Naruto's hands.
"How did you do that?" Lucy asked excitedly as Erza and Gray also looked intrigued.
"It's a special form of rune magic that seals away objects and food in their current status into a scroll and can be released with my magic." Naruto explained as he slurped ramen in between words. Erza and Lucy looked impressed.
"Nice one Naruto!" Kurama chuckled from inside the seal.
"Yeah in reality you had to reverse engineer the generic sealing jutsu ninjaa use to be able to seal and unseal using magic instead of blood or chakra." Chomei elaborated while Naruto grinned to himself at his partial truth.
"Anyways Naruto, Erza I think it is about time you tell us what we should expect ahead." Gray said seriously as everyone finished their meals.
"Right so we learned that Eisenwald is planning something big in Clover town with their head mage Erigor being there too." Naruto explained as everyone but Lucy gulped.
"They are a dark guild that specialize in assassination." Erza explained darkly as Lucy looked afraid and Naruto glared heatedly at the window.
"Now we don't know their actual objective but from what we heard it sounds like the entire guild will be there so we best be on our toes." Naruto concluded as everyone eyes get resolute.
"Uh what's wrong with Natsu?" Lucy decided to ask as she just noticed Natsu look pale and about to barf.
"Uh right his motion sickness seems to have caught up to him." Erza sighed as she got up and punched Natsu in the stomach knocking him out 'solving' the problem.
"Idiot forgot he had it while he was eating but as soon as he was done, he got it again." Gray snickered at the downed dragon slayer.
"Wait there was one detail I remember that might help. One member claimed someone called Kage was coming back with 'Lullaby', which I think is a magic item." Naruto piped up.
Gray and Lucy shared a look "Lullaby! I think those guys we saw on our last job said something about Lullaby." Lucy noted.
"They seemed to be deserters of Eisenwald who didn't want part of their latest plans." Erza said thinking it over. "In ay case if they have something that can cause harm to innocent people, we won't let them get away with it. So, we are storming the Eisenwald guild!" Erza declared as Happy, Lucy, Gray and Naruto raised a fist in agreement.
"Aye!" they all yelled. The train continued onward to the next designation Onibus Station where unbeknownst to the Fairy Tail wizards one Dark Guild member was already on the train.
Meanwhile
Makarov was at the Guild Masters Meeting in Clover Town. He was socializing with the other Masters loudly bragging about the hotties of his guild including Lucy Heartfillia.
"You blokes are just jealous I get all the smoking hot ones in my guild! Like Lucy she is new but still has a body that won't quit!" Makarov bragged as several people whistled.
"Makarov your wizards attractive qualities aside…. You should really tell them to reign in their destructive impulses as sooner or later the Magic Council will disband your guild once and for all." Goldmine warned. He was the Master of the Querto Cerberus guild.
"Those blow hearts up there can blow it for all I care." Makarov replied eating another chicken leg and drinking another gulp of beer.
"Master Makarov a message from Mirajane-san!" A bird piped up holding a letter in its feet. Makarov grabbed the letter and applied magic on the seal on the back of the letter. A hologram of a smiling of Mira in her red dress appeared in front of him. Instantly almost every man there whistled with blushes seeing the beautiful Mirajane nearly in person. Mira glared sending a demonic glare (AN3) making everyone back off. She smiled again once people backed off while Makarov just chuckled.
"That my dear Masters is Mira-chan from Fairy Tail! Quite a cutie huh? She is our pride and joy model!" Makarov boasted raising his glass in the air. Mira just laughed as the men were much more subtle checking her hologram out.
"Thank You Master." Mira said simply. "Anyways I just wanted to tell you wonderful news! Erza, Gray, Natsu, Lucy and Naruto-kun formed a team this morning! I hope you well! Bye!" Mira chanted as she waved making the message disappear.
"Geez 3 of your most destructive mages on a single team. Tough break Makarov." Goldmine said sympathetically while he chuckled.
"Yeah but they have Naruto on the team so it should work out." Makarov said in a proud and serious tone as everyone looked at him strangely.
"Who is this Naruto-chan? I don't believe I heard of him before." Bob the Master of Bleu Pegasus asked.
"He represents the true soul of our guild. He may be new but I trust him to handle situations." Makarov said proudly.
"Don't you think of all your members as children? Its not very nice to have a favourite." Goldmine reminded him as Makarov just chuckled.
"You are probably right. I hope one day you can see him in person." Makarov getting back to his drink. 'Let see I get home tomorrow afternoon so I hope my children don't get into trouble before then.' Makarov thought worriedly.
AN2: I am ending it there as I realize if I burn myself outside doing long chapters I wont actually finish this story so you get what you get!
AN3: it appears to be real time in the anime so I am going with that in the story.
Not much happens but it is loosely following canon. (not every event happens at the same time. For example the conference technically happens a day later as Makarov stayed behind to watch Naruto fight Erza)
I do read all reviews and when people point out mistakes, I do notice them but I DO NOT REDO CHAPTERS!
Sorry for people who don't like I added Naruto to the canon team but I like it for flow and I like all the characters so I chose not change it.
The last part may not have been needed but I wanted to wrap it up before they started fighting Eisenwald.
