AN1: Did not expect so much bad feedback from the last chapter. Wow guys you totally misread how it was intended to be seen. (if Naruto hadn't taken the spell from Aria, Makarov would be near death and he wouldn't be able to eat the Jupiter cannon and break the barrier). Glad SOME people liked the Jupiter Dragon Slayer mode. Just to be clear Naruto is a dragon slayer before he ate the blast (he did not 'become' one from eating the blast).
I think people are misreading the last chapter. Naruto passed out for like a MINUTE before waking up pretty much good as new without his magic. (most mages stay unconscious if their magic is drained and they cannot wake up without an infusion of magic)
Naruto still full access to his chakra and his being using in subtle ways just nowhere near as much as he did when in the EN (where he used it freely and openly)-Naruto doesn't spam shadow clones right now.
-he used chakra mode to one shot an empowered Deloria (who withstood Devil Slayer magic with ease) in chapter 13
-he uses chakra and magic to keep his house safe
-he used the Harashin sparely (including using it and Shukuka sand to get in front of the Jupiter blast)
Chapter 17 Flashback-Where Mavis's heart is
Mavis had arrived safely back on Tenrou island where she had sat back on her favorite branch where she noticed something.
"Huh? Isn't this?" Mavis said quietly as she picked up a book gently and saw the title. 'Sky Devil Slayer magic 101 basics.' Mavis smiled to herself as she chuckled remembering how much fun she had teaching the basics of magic to Naruto and them learning how Naruto could use Sky Devil Slayer magic.
"Those were the days huh?" Mavis mused as she gripped the book tightly near where her heart was before she blushed realizing her heart was racing again.
As she tried to calm her racing heart, she could not help but remember a particular memory that happened shortly before Naruto left to join Fairy Tail.
X784 (shortly before Naruto leaves Tenrou Island)
Mavis and Naruto were laughing as they watched two squirrels growling at each other fighting over the same acorn until a third squirrel came out of nowhere and stole the acorn while the first two were distracted. Then the first two squirrels ran after the 3rd one making the scene even funnier for the two blondes.
"This is the quite the simple lie Mavis-chan." Naruto said with a grin as Mavis smiled happily.
"I know when you leave to join Fairy Tail things won't be the same anymore but can you promise me one thing Naruto?" Mavis asked with a shy smile.
"Anything Mavis-chan." Naruto swore.
"Don't forget me please?" Mavis asked sadly as Naruto was her first and truest friend she had in ages and the only one who could make her feel alive despite being mostly dead.
Naruto instead of answering pulled the girl into his arm as he rested his face into her hair while Mavis just snuggled into his shoulder.
"I will never forget Mavis-chan. That is a promise of a life time." Naruto told her warmly as Mavis just nodded her head numbly still remaining in Naruto's hug.
They spent several more minutes in this warm embrace before Naruto pulled back but Mavis still sat right next to him without any space between them.
"Mavis-chan can I ask you something?" Naruto asked with a serious voice as Mavis blinked in surprise.
"Sure Naruto. Anything in my power I will answer." Mavis replied with a tilt of her head.
"I want you to be honesty and if you don't wish to answer that's ok but I want a real answer ok?" Naruto said as Mavis still looked confused.
"Why are you being all serious Naruto? Its not like you." Mavis asked suddenly nervous.
"Mavis promise me." Naruto pressed as Mavis nodded her head. "Ok you told me the reason you are liked this is because you were cursed with the contradiction curse and Zeref kissed you right?" Naruto asked as Mavis nervously nodded her head dreading where this was going.
"Ok my question is do you love Zeref?" Naruto asked seriously without a hint of playfulness as Mavis eyes widened.
"How could you ask something like that?" Mavis said with a hurt look as she felt tears running down her face.
Naruto pulled her back into a hug as he felt tears stain his shirt but he didn't care. After several more minutes her tears dried up and she looked Naruto directly in the eyes.
"Why do you want to know something like that?" Mavis asked as she stared directly into his eyes as if she could find an answer just by looking deep into them.
"I think Zeref loved you with all his heart so when he kissed you the Curse of Contradiction took the life force of the thing he loved most-you- despite your immortality." Naruto said with sad eyes as Mavis nodded sadly. "Yet he still around so that means you did not have the same feelings or do you Mavis-chan?" Naruto asked with eyes full of empathy and kindness that filled Mavis heart full of happiness.
Mavis stayed quite for a awhile as this was an answer she tried to hide from herself as she feared the answer but she knew if she could not trust Naruto she could not trust anyone.
"I know Zeref loved me more than anything so the curse took my life as a price for his sins but my curse did not take his life away." Mavis stated clearly as she looked away hesitantly. "It's not important why that happened. All that matters is we defeat him for the sake of the world right?" Mavis said changing the subject as Naruto frowned seeing the forced smile on Mavis's face.
Naruto surprised Mavis by pulling back and grabbing her shoulders staring directly into her eyes with disappointment.
"Mavis-chan. I told Sakura this before and I mean it. I hate people who lie to themselves." Naruto said clearly as Mavis gasped as her eyes grew wet again. She wanted to avoid answering more than anything but she knew she could not bare it if Naruto looked at her this disappointed again.
"Alright the truth is back than I did not feel love for Zeref. I felt compassion and gratefulness towards him for him teaching me and my friends magic. For giving me the power to save Yuri, for setting us up to start Fairy Tail! I also felt like the only person who could understand him and since I was cursed too, I thought maybe I could grow to love him if he was the only one, I could ever be with." Mavis admitted shamefully. She closed her eyes unable to bare the disappointed look she thought Naruto was casting on her.
"However, the curse knew my feelings for Zeref were not genuine so it only took my life force and not his." Mavis finished with tears running down her face again only to feel her face get buried into Naruto's warmth and neck.
"I understand Mavis-chan." Naruto said simply as Mavis eyes grew wide in surprise.
"How can you treat me normally after learning I was willing to love Zeref if there was no other choice?!" Mavis demanded staring at Naruto kind eyes with tears.
"Because I did the same thing. I wanted love so bad I pulled pranks for any type of attention, I convinced myself that Sakura was the love of my life simply because I thought she had to be or that was it for me. So, I understand better than anyone how you feel Mavis-chan." Naruto admitted freely as Mavis cried more and buried face deeper into Naruto's neck and wrapped her arms around him as Naruto wrapped his arms around her.
For several minutes the two blonde orphans just sat there holding each other for warmth and comfort before Mavis hiccupped and pulled away with a warm smile that Naruto returned.
"Naruto one day Zeref will return and I will not be able to kill him with the curse. He did not die when my feelings for him were at the brightest and now these decades alter those positive feelings have all but disappeared." Mavis informed Naruto who nodded. "However, I know you will be the only to defeat Zeref and save this world." Mavis added looking at Naruto who shot her a thumbs up.
"I promise I will end Zeref and defeat Agnologia." Naruto swore as Mavis beamed at him before giggling.
"Why are you laughing?" Naruto said with a pout making her giggles louder.
"It's not that. Its just I don't know if will be able to find love for real but this right here might be enough." Mavis admitted as Naruto flicked her on the forehead making her give a cute cry of annoyance.
"Mavis-chan I promise you will find love again and I will get you back into your real body." Naruto promised as Mavis shyly looked away with a blush.
"You don't have to promise me something like that. Just this here is enough for me." Mavis insisted ut Naruto refused to relent.
"No! You died so young so you deserved to feel things and not just when I am here! You deserve everything I have you deserve too!" Naruto insisted as Mavis hiccupped and nodded.
'Its not just my physical state that is the problem Naruto. I don't think anyone could love me not just as family member.' Mavis thought to herself but she decided to change the subject. "How about you Naruto? I have a feeling love will greet you when you get to Fairy Tail." Mavis tried to say wisely but her massive smile ruined the imagine.
Naruto chuckled but said "I don't think that will happen. I wouldn't know the first thing to look for if someone actually had feelings for me or what to do if she told me she did love me." Naruto d=sad smile made Mavis heart flutter in sympathy and a need to comfort him.
"Fine than. If you are going to promise me to find love you have to too ok?" Mavis said seriously as she grabbed Naruto's hand in her smaller ones.
"Alright it's a promise than. We will both find love in our lives." Naruto said as he squeezed Mavis's hands back to seal their promise.
"Oh man I have a tough mission. The only person I thought I loved only loved Sasuke from the bottom of her heart and only saw me as a friend." Naruto whined as they sat next to each other on the tree log.
"Hey the only person who loved me killed me so if you thought you had it rough get in line." Mavis retorted as Naruto gave her a mock glare. A few seconds later they burst in laughter at how whiny they sounded.
"Hey Mavis-chan?" Naruto asked as Mavis turned around and hummed at him. "How about this? What if we can't find loves before too long, we love each other?" Naruto suggested as Mavis gave him an odd look.
"Don't say that! You will find love! If anybody is not going to find love its going to be me." Mavis moped before Naruto shook his head.
"I can't find any reason why somebody wouldn't love you. You are pretty, have super long hair, are smarter than anyone I know, have a giant heart and eyes a guy could get lost in." Naruto admitted with him rubbing his head in embarrassment.
"Naruto." Mavis said with her eyes wide and her face burning red.
As if sensing this was getting awkward Naruto seemingly decided to add a joke in. "Of course, we have to get you back into your body first of course! Its what almost a 100? So when you are alive again I guess I should call you Mavis-Baa chan right?" Naruto joked as Mavis eyes twitched.
"Naruto you big idiot!" Mavis screamed as she started chasing the laughing Naruto who ran away from the fuming ghost almost as if was another day.
Flashback End
Present Day
"You really are the biggest idiot in the whole wide world Naruto." Mavis claimed as happy tears ran down her face. She remembered how Naruto's clone said he would find a way to end her sadness but little did he know her happiness came from being around Naruto.
"Claiming nobody could love you but making the cursed girl fall heads over shoulder in love with you makes you a real idiot you know?" Mavis said as she started wiping happy tears with her sleeve. "I guess I can only admit it when you aren't here but Naruto Uzumaki, I love you more than anything in this world from the bottom of my heart." Mavis said as her smile threatened to break her face. She put her hand over my heart as it beat happily as if it was happy, she finally admitting her feelings out loud.
Luckily Zeref was still fast asleep so he did not hear Mavis's proclamation. He did not hear that the woman he loved had picked another and the previous speech that indicated she had never loved him even before. He blissfully slept ignorant that his heart would be shattered again in the coming years.
Back in Magnolia
While Fairy Tail was fighting furiously against Phantom Lord, nobody was near the true basement of the Fairy Tail guild hall where Fairy Tail greatest secret was sealed. Lumen Histore or its true name Fairy Heart aka the real comatose body of Mavis Vermillion. In that vessel lied infinite magic and Mavis true body.
Nobody not even Mavis herself who was still on Tenrou Island, knew for the first time since it died and somewhat came back to life Mavis's body moved. Her hand moved above her heart like her 'ghost' half did and its face despite its eyes being closed smiled. These movements only lasted a minute before its hand fell back to her side and her smile vanished showing her lifeless expression.
However, if Precht or Makarov were there to bare witness to this unique phenomenal they would each claim this was proof that Mavis love for Naruto was real and pure. Powerful enough to transcend the powers over life and death itself.
Naruto unaware of another girl pouring her heart out for him just continued his march towards Jose while his guild mates supported him.
AN2: I know not the chapter you wanted (for people who read this story and not people who complain I don't update the reading lol) BUT it is confirmation in chapter form Mavis has chosen Naruto to place her heart to. I thought about since I watched the anime of Mavis death and posted chapter 14 of Six Paths Jinchuuriki and I decided I want Naruto and Mavis together.
So, I changed Mavis feelings to admiration for Zeref and love for Naruto.
August will be PO like his dad when he discovers Mavis has chosen Naruto (who will cure her later on).
**I know August is Mavis kid but I still consider Mavis a virgin (Mavis and Zeref did not have sex but his contradiction magic entered her body and created new life despite being impossible.-another contradiction).
For reference girls that are in Naruto's harem (in the future).
Mavis-knows she wants to be with Naruto, Naruto has no idea at all.
Lucy-pretty sure she feels strongly about Naruto, Naruto is pretty close but confused on his feelings on her.
Erza-both close friends right now. (Erza has no problem Naruto checking her out but Naruto is embarrassed about how much he is attracted to her).
Mira**-She knows she is in love with Naruto but is willing to take it slow for his sake. Naruto is pretty sure she likes him but has no idea how he is suppose to react or even what taking it the next level is suppose to be.
