Check your box for PMs and actually read them!
Yeah I know it was a while. Partly due to I typically work on one chapter for one of my stories per week (its more or less like that now) and the other reason is I redid my idea. See next paragraph.
I will be honest. I had a completely different idea for the Naruto vs Thunder Legion fight but I talked it over with some people and changed my mind. This is STILL my idea but its been revamped (partly as I would get trolled so hard if I took route one even if I explained it completely)
-My original idea (and the 'loophole' I set in the runes) WAS: Naruto could not teleport out of it or physically leave the runes while he was 'S-class'. So he would eventually as a last resort enchant Bane Particles (or something close to it but what Naruto implied) inside himself to rapidly drain his magic level power to 'close to nothing' and trick the runes that he was no longer S-class. That way he could simply walk out but with the Bane particles inside of him he would continue to lose magic and he would basically be fighting a disease while he fought. He would eventually defeat the Thunder Legion with skill more than power but nearly on the brink of collapse when he fought Laxus.
=Looking it over I know people would HATE me for adding this (even though it was in reality the actual plan.) I set the rules up so only someone like Naruto could actually slip though. I got ENOUGH trolls for chapter 16 with the Drain spell and Naruto Thank You VERY MUCH. (I read all the reviews remember). You know who you were. I spent a lot of time thinking that fight over and I even give real reasons but did the trolls care? NO! They trolled my reviews and whatever.
My story! Sorry for the rant. Next chapter I dunno if it will as long as acion scenes are not my forte but I will try to make it interesting.
Chapter 35 Naruto is NOT staying inside the Guild Hall!
Naruto shouted in frustration as he once again summoned both a Danto and his Chokuto blades in his right and left hands respectively once again for another assault.
"Stupid barrier die!" Naruto screamed summoning Sky Devil magic into bother blades once again slamming them at the Runes protecting the entrance once again. He kept batting it over and over again with the magic infused with the blades and although the Runes did appear to be 'hurt' any damage was repaired instantly.
"Dammit it all!" Naruto shouted panting. 'Even with the Full power of the Wind Scar infused into both my blades I cannot shatter this damn barrier! Whatever small amount of damage I can do is quickly repaired and I am just wasting magic at this point.' AN2:
Makarov gave Naruto a look of sadness as he watched Naruto once again fail to destroy their confinement.
"To think Naruto-Nii has being going full power for over an hour now." Lissanna remarked in amazement watching her older brother figure continuously slamming high level magic barrier without break. She knew her big sister would have collapsed by now if she used this amount of magic. AN3:
Meanwhile Natsu was away from the door but he kept hitting another side of the wall with his bare hands to no avail while Gajeel pretended he was not as frustrated as the other Dragon Slayers.
"Dammit it all! How many people are still fighting?" Naruto demanded as he started to take a few breathes from using magic non stop.
Happy looked at the screen seeing Gray vs Bickslow was displayed and Elfman vs Evergreen.
"It looks like Gray and Elfman are the only ones still fighting." Happy announced as everyone watched the screen with some hope.
"If one of them can beat the member they are fighting we might have a chance!" Lissanna said hopefully especially hoping her brother Elfman could somehow win and free the girls trapped in stone.
"Yeah Gray is just as strong as Natsu and Elfman is tough!" Happy chanted as Natsu glared at the cat with fire spewing out of his mouth in anger.
"Gray is as strong as me?!" Natsu yelled in protest while Lissanna gave her a nervous laugh not wanting to admit her own thoughts.
'I think Natsu has a stronger offense especially when his emotions are high but Gray typically uses strategy more with his ice magic having more supplementary effects. So, they are pretty balanced overall.' Naruto thought adding his two cents in while watching the screen carefully.
"I am afraid it might be too hopeful to think Gray or Elfman can beat their foes." Makarov said sombrely as everyone turned to the old master in surprise. Naruto merely raised an eyebrow but stayed quiet while the rest of the group was yelling at Makarov.
"Master! How can you say that? Gray and Elfman-Nii are powerful! Maybe not as powerful as Naruto-Nii but they are no pushovers." Lissanna said as Makarov sighed.
"Indeed. I am not underestimating Gray or Elfman but the Thunder Legion clearly has planned this out for some time. They managed to catch most of our girls when they were most off guard during the contest." Makarov started to explain as everyone started to grit their teeth.
"They created a rune enchantment powerful enough to contain our S-class wizards and even prevent Natsu and Gajeel from leaving. They have littered Magnolia with Enchantments that likely only work in the Thunder Legion favor and most of our capable members wasted all their strengths taking out their fellow members just to reach the Thunder Legion." Makarov said with angry eyes.
Sure, enough the screen changed to Elfman vs Evergreen: Winner Evergreen, Gray vs Bickslow: Winner Bickslow.
Lissanna had tears running down her face to know that both of her siblings were beaten by Evergreen. Naruto put a hand on her head as Lissanna tears dried up from this simple but effective method of sibling affection. Naruto glared at the runes which almost appeared to smugly inform the trapped members they essentially lost.
Makarov lowered his head as another of his two children fell in battle.
Natsu however decided to show his feelings another way.
"Dammit Gray! What the hell are you doing? Losing to someone like Bickslow! You suck!" Natsu screamed in frustration smashing his fists at the runes once again.
Gajeel scoffed making the irate Fire Dragon Slayer turn to him.
"Do you got something to say?" Natsu hissed as Gajeel starred at Natsu directly in the eyes.
"Yeah I do. Those guys who trapped us in here played us perfectly and looks like we lost. We got no one left who can fight." Gajeel grunted as the screen added a new counter.
"Members left: 5" Happy read as Makarov did a quick count.
"Naruto, Gajeel, Lissanna, Natsu and me?!" Makarov yelled in realization as Naruto eyes narrowed.
"What about me Master? I am a member of Fairy Tail too." Happy complained as Naruto looked at him drily.
"That's right Happy! Go through the barrier and show us what a real Fairy Tail member can do!" Naruto said with fake cheer as Happy started to sweat.
"On second thought… I gotta stay and protect Lucy... Yeah that right…" Happy mumbled as Lissanna gave him an incredulous look.
The counter of the corner of the screen now read: 1:30 minutes remaining as it continued to count down.
"Dammit at this rate we wont…" Naruto said before everyone heard several cracking noises.
"Everyone its Erza-san!" Lissanna yelled as everyone turned around to see Erza's stone stature flash for a moment before the stone cracked away to reveal an alive Erza in all her glory.
"Erza!" Natsu yelled in happiness while Gajeel grunted.
"Erza! Thank the Gods." Makarov said in relief.
Naruto smiled at her and offered her a hand trying to not let his eyes stray down her cleavage as Erza was still wearing the nurse outfit from before.
"Thanks Naruto." Erza said as she blinked several times before looking down at her outfit. "Right. This is not exactly appropriate anymore." Erza remarked as she requipped back into her normal Heart Kreuz armour much to Makarov annoyance-if his crying was not factor enough-. Naruto also was secretly disappointed although he would not say it out loud.
"So how did you undo the Stone magic by yourself?" Naruto asked shaking his head to the other Stone Statue girls.
Erza sent him a smile as she placed her hand underneath her right eye. "It must be my artificial right eye. Any kind of visual magic only has half the effect on me. So instead of 3 hours the magic on me naturally expired after 90 minutes." Erza mused as Makarov got a huge grin.
'Kinda like the Sharingan power to neutralize Genjutstu huh. Neat.' Naruto said somewhat impressed.
"Members left: 6" Happy read as Erza nodded to herself.
"That counter must update automatically. Don't worry I heard some of what was said when I was stone statue. Now that I am back I going to teach Laxus a lesson!" Erza said seriously running at the door before anyone could stop here.
She grunted as she met the same purple walls as the rest of the trapped members requipping a spear only to growl when it failed to go through the Runes.
"Dammit. So, Erza still can't go through like me since we both have S-class level magics. There goes the slight possibility the magic would not count her since she was a stone statue a minute ago." Naruto said in frustration.
Everyone spirits dropped when their surprise hope Erza (who could probably defeat the Thunder Legion herself) was unable to get by the Runes even when not a Stone Statue.
All the sudden they heard laughter as Laxus see through thought Projection reappeared with a mocking smile.
"Aw are you out of options Old man?" Laxus mocked as everyone glared at the cocky S-class wizard.
"Laxus." Naruto hissed as Laxus gave a mock bow.
"Aw! How scary!" Laxus pretended to whimper only to have massive evil grin. "I will admit that I did not expect Erza to get out of the Stone herself so I will have to give her at least a hand for dumb luck." Laxus grudgingly admitted giving her a dry clap of his hands.
"Laxus! Release our friends right now! You will not win with this charade!" Erza yelled angrily at Laxus with angry eyes.
Laxus gave her a dry look completely unafraid of the glare the redhead was giving. "As if. Even if you were free you would not be able to defeat me. We are on two different levels of power." Laxus scoffed as if the idea an S-class like Erza could beat an S-class like him.
"Shut your mouth Laxus! Erza could totally defeat a coward like you! Hell, I could kick your ass if I wasn't in this stupid barrier!" Natsu shouted as Laxus grit his teeth barely restraining himself.
"Yeah right Natsu. You are not even on Erza's level let alone mine." Laxus informed the infuriated Dragon Slayer.
Laxus raised his arms and declared "I am the strongest in the guild! Not Erza! Not that masked freak Mystogan! Not Gildartz if he was even here. Not even the Old Man is as powerful as me. And Especially not that newbie Naruto Uzumaki! Only I deserve the title of Fairy Tail strongest!" As everyone glared at the thought projection Naruto eyes narrowed.
'Is this all its been about? Trying to prove he is strong not because of Makarov genes? What a child.' Naruto thought gripping his hands tightly.
"So Old man ready to give up yet?" Laxus asked turning to the seething Master of Fairy Tail.
"I would never entrust the future of our family to a brat like you." Makarov said angrily as Laxus glared at him.
"Tch." Laxus scoffed as the Thought Projection began to flicker out. "In 80 minutes, I will be the Master one way or another." Laxus said cryptically.
As soon as Laxus left Naruto could feel the Tailed Beasts inside of him calling to him to talk to him directly.
"Guys. I need to mediate for a bit to find a way out of here. Please leave me alone while I think." Naruto asked as Erza stared directly into his determined blue eyes.
After a tense minute Erza smiled and nodded.
"Alright. I shall believe you will find your answer while we brainstorm on our end." Erza told him making Naruto nod his head in appreciation.
'We can talk later about that power you used before. It did not feel like magic.' Erza thought with some concern.
Naruto soon sat in a corner with his knees in a somewhat Y formation. He put elbows on his knees and closed his eyes taking a deep breath to focus on the connection to his mindscape. AN4:
Naruto stared up at all nine Tailed Beasts with an impatient look as he took his spot-on top of Kurama head.
"What is it? You guys know I am under a time limit right?" Naruto asked with a frown which deepened when the Tailed Beasts still had serious expressions.
"Naruto this is about the Runes you are inside." Gyuki said urgently as Naruto eyes narrowed.
"What about the Runes? Because I am S-class I cannot leave them." Naruto said sourly gripping his fists.
"Naruto-kun. If it was simply a barrier like everyone believed your attacks would have shattered it by now." Matatabi told him as Naruto gave an annoyed grunt.
"Sure as hell feels like a barrier. I batted at it for over an hour and I still couldn't get out. If that's not a barrier I don't know what you think a barrier is." Naruto snapped before sighing.
"Naruto. Let us put it another way. Your magic power has gone down a third since you were inside the Runes." Son told him as Naruto gave him a raised eyebrow.
"Why wouldn't it be down? I have been hitting that barrier with Wind Scars for over an hour! Anyone else would have collapsed by now!" Naruto said abit offended at the insinuation.
To his surprise all the Tailed Beasts shook their head at him.
"Your idiot! What we mean is your magic power has not returned at all since you entered the barrier!" Shukaku crackled as Naruto gave a slightly confused look.
"Why would it return? I have spamming attacks for non stop but I still have over 50% of my magic power left. It wouldn't start returning till I start to run dry or at least had time to recover right?" Naruto asked remembering his lessons with Mavis and his Dragon Slayer teacher. AN5:
"Normally that would be the case but in reality, you should have recovered at least 5% of your magic in the time it took of you stopping your magic attacks but it is still at the same 67% from before." Kurama informed Naruto who looked mildly surprised.
"Ok I admit that is odd but why does that matter now?" Naruto asked abit impatiently.
"It matters since the question is: Why would you be unable to recover Ethenanio while in Earthland while not under a Drain spell? This world is literally overflowing with natural energy and magic power." Gyuki said with a sigh as Naruto eyes widened.
"Wait! Are you saying this Rune is actually?" Naruto gasped as an imagine of Kaguya peaking out a black portal appeared in his head.
"Now you caught on. This Rune does not create a barrier to keep you contained. It creates a pseudo mini dimension cut off from the rest of the town." Isobu said with his tails waving back and forth lazily. AN6:
Naruto gaped before starting to pace on Kurama head. "That's insane! How could somebody create a dimension? I mean even a small one like the one surrounding the guild hall is something I didn't think possible with Rune magic!" Naruto shouted as Kurama resisted the urge to flick him off his head.
"We first got a clue when the magic signatures of the 3 stooges left our senses when they left the guild hall. I mean barriers could in theory hide magic signatures but usually its to hide the signature of people inside from the outside not the outside from sensors inside the barrier." Kukou announced as Naruto nodded his head having thought it was odd.
"Next your attacks seemed to be doing far less damage even if the barrier was meant to contain S-class wizard with your power it should've at least cracked by now from the power of all your Wind Scars one after the other attacks." Shukkaku explained without his usual crackle.
An imagine of Naruto using the power of the Jupiter Canon to coat his Danto blade making it overload the speed the barrier could restore it self from a barrage of attacks of equal power.
"Finally the cut off sensation we felt inside of you felt familiar. It is just like we lost track of the chakra of the Hokage once we got transported to another dimension by Old Man Six Paths Mother." Kurama growled.
"I see. Well we know the how I am stuck but we are still not at the point of how I get out. This dimension that was created cannot last forever especially if its dependent on the castor instead of a creation method like Super Old Granny used with that 3rd eye of hers." Naruto mused in a gloomy tone realizing he was still stuck.
The tailed beasts looked at each other and nodded.
"This kind of magic likely uses a great deal of magic from the castor and I have noticed despite what it appears it has deteriorated abit since it activated. I would say even without doing anything it will have to automatically destroy itself in about 2 hours more or less." Kurama grunted having used his sensory abilities to spot the difference in quality of magic.
"I see but that still gives them enough time to wait out the time before the Statues are destroyed or Master is forced to give up." Naruto said angrily thinking how cowardly they set up this so-called game.
Naruto leapt off Kurama head to start pacing as he adopted a thinking position.
"So, if I want to get out of the dimension in theory, I would have to destroy it to the point where it could not restore itself. The power to destroy a dimension…" Naruto mused as Kurama gave him a look.
"No Kurama! I won't use your power or Six Paths power which could destroy the dimension along with my friends and town if I not careful!" Naruto said sternly as Kurama rolled his eyes.
"You can't expect to make an omelette without breaking a few eggs." Kurama said coolly as Naruto glared at his partner.
While Naruto and Kurama bickered Shukaku was thinking hard before a massive grin appeared on his face.
"Teehee! I got it!" Shukaku chuckled as the tailed beasts and Naruto turned to the One-Tails.
"What is it?" Naruto asked kindly.
"With this I will be better than that damn fox!" Shukaku chortled smugly grinning at the glare sent by Kurama.
"What did you say? You damn Tanuki!" Kurama growled before Naruto gave both tailed beasts a quick thump of their heads making them recoil.
"Hey! I do not have time for your bickering now! I need whatever help I can get now!" Naruto shouted as Kurama and Shukaku avoided looking at each other.
"Right. Sorry. Naruto. You know Tailed Beasts can exist in multiple places correct?" Shukaku said seriously as Naruto slowly nodded his head.
"Yeah like Yin and Yang Kurama had separate memories despite coming from the same chakra." Naruto said fondly as Kurama grumbled but did not refute his statement.
"Or like how before we sealed our complete selves inside of you, the small fragments we and Obito gave you could still talk and manifest inside of you despite the majority of our chakra was inside the Ten Tails." Matatabi said as Naruto nodded with a grin.
'Better than stealing my chakra like those Gold and Silver brothers.' Kurama grumbled in his thoughts with hatred. The brothers stole chakra from inside of him and since he wanted them out the chakra never manifested as any kind of consciousness.
"Ok so how does that help me get out?" Naruto asked as Shukaku sent him a grin.
"My chakra is inside the sand you manipulate. That means a mini version of myself exists outside of this dimension and inside Magnolia Town." Shukaku explained as Naruto's eyes widened.
"You mean from that time?!" Naruto gasped as a memory of Naruto teleporting to the sand marked with his Hiraishin marking.
"Yup! A version of me exists over there and since it is linked to me I can tell it to summon us to its location." Shukaku chortled happy at the annoyed look Kurama sent him.
"A summoning jutsu?! Wait! There runes state 'no teleporting' which is the reason I can't teleport to any of my markers even inside Magnolia town. Wouldn't a summoning count as well?" Naruto asked nervously as he feared even this round about method would fail.
The tailed beasts sent him a look of amusement as if he said something rather cute.
"Naruto. You underestimate the power of the Summoning jutsu. Provided a contract can be formed or special Tailed Beast chakra like you have, a summoning can happen at any point. Even if you sealed away a summoning creature inside a barrier the summoner could always weave the signs and retrieve them." Kurama chided Naruto who still looked nervous.
"Think about this. Father Six Paths was capable of summoning of us, your team and Madara Uchiha using the summoning Jutsu powered by Kage Chakra. Despite us being inside one of Kaguya's dimensions." Isobu reminded Naruto who widened his eyes.
"That's right! I never thought about that! Now that I think about it Kakashi-Sensei did call that feat Godly. I thought it was just hero worship of Old Man Six Paths…" Naruto admitted before his eyes shone.
Kurama knew what his jinchuuriki was thinking and shook his head. "Naruto. Don't even think about it. A summoning would not work between here and the Elemental Nations. It is simply too far away. The only reason a summoning would work between you and Shukaku clone is that Shukaku is linked to you." Kurama said sternly as Naruto nodded his head with a smile.
Shukaku knew they were short on time so he decided to add "Normally my clone would not have the chakra needed to summon you with us inside of you but since I am here it is a special case of it 'retrieving' itself. Since It is summoning me back you are brought along for the ride.".
"Right! Thanks!" Naruto said confidently as he slowly faded out from the mindscape.
Kurama turned to Shukaku with a suspicious glare. "You better not have suggested it simple to get one up to me." Kurama growled.
"Tch. Not everything is about you Kurama." Shukaku claimed as the tailed beasts watched the back and forth with great amusement.
"Besides. That brat has something about him that makes you want to help him. Its hard not to like him when he considers us tailed beasts as friends." Shukaku said quietly.
The Tailed Beasts nodded their heads.
"If only Yugito-san was alive. Then Naruto-kun could be together and I could feel their union at some point." Matatabi said with a sigh as the tailed beasts gave the cat a weird look for wanting their jinchuuriki to hook up with her former one.
"He is an odd one. He never shuts up but he always find a way to back up his claims." Isobu remarked.
"Naruto kept his promise and for that he will always have my trust." Son said simply.
"I suppose he represents the hope our creator wanted for humanity." Kokuo said after a moment.
"He and Fu-chan would have been best friends! At least he has Lucky 7 to watch his back!" Chomei sang happily.
"Him and Bee are the only Jinchuuriki treated me with respect. Yet I doubt Bee could get all the Tailed Beasts to cooperate and work together. Naruto truly is one of a kind." Gyuki said resting his face on his palm.
"He was MY Jinchuuriki first! If he gets into trouble, he should only use my powers." Kurama growled as the tailed beasts looked amused at the most stubborn of them the most protective of their shared partner.
AN2: Despite being very powerful when swung as a wave or beam the Wind Scar is considerably stronger when used directly to argument Naruto swords swings (close range).
AN3: Before people troll me. This is what Lissanna thinks is Naruto's 'full power'. He has not used Dragon Slayer magic openly in front of the guild or used chakra (besides the Rasengan which almost nobody caught).
AN4: It's the stance he uses in earlier Naruto Shippudden to enter Sage Mode. I am using it for his mediation stance as well.
AN5: This is my head canon. In canon Ultear explanation (when talking about the magic container and how to unlock magic container) it is stated that when a wizard is out of magic their container passively absorbs Ethenanio from the atmosphere to recover their magic. In my head that would imply that the wizard only gets magic when they mostly use it up. Or another way to put it would be wizards would run on a single 'charge' of magic (unable to restore it unless they run out). My theory is magic very slowly returns as soon you use it (as long as you don't use it without breaks) but it is very minute. The lower your magic is relative the more of It returns n less time.
AN5. Continued: or in math way: you are down to 90% of your magic and in a minute of rest you recover (1%) so you are technically getting something back but its hardly noticeable. Now if you were down to 10% you would recover 15% in a minute (and start to 'feel better'). Hope that helps with the conversation. (this does not work in Edolias where there is almost no magic left. Even with an X-Ball it takes much longer to recover magic)
AN6: Dun Dun Dun! I told you I had a plan why Naruto could not break out freely!
