AN1: Fairy Tail 100 Year quest 109 was released May 31/22 and YES it does show the canon explanation of what Laxus Dragon Lacrima is. My story and explanation were released like over a year before that so obvious I had no idea. Naruto's teacher will not be that Thunder Dragon King so Laxus and his Lightning Dragon Slayer magic will not be connected to that Dragon King. (Although I will point out that God Serena ALSO has a Lightning dragon Lacrima. Just saying.

Yes I know the AN has born reposted but I know people will claim I intentionally changing canon to make Naruto 'special' hence why I will just repost the top one for awhile (so people can see I am explaining a plot point).

Fairy Tail 100 Year quest 115 was released. It showed that God Serena survived and the last three of his Dragon Lacrima-Diamond(stone), Flash(Light), dark (unnamed) along with his established other 5-Lightning (thunder), Cavern (Earth), Purgatory (Fire), Sea King (Water), Gale (wind).

For context in this story God Serena will have refined organ (heart) of the Lightning Dragon King (like Laxus did have in canon) and scales/bones from the other Dragons. Hence his Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic will be in general more effective then Laxus but less than Naruto's (as Serena will have a refined organ rather then just some leftover scales enchanted.) And just because Serena and Kirin (the 5th dragon slayer) have their magic from the "Lightning Dragon King" does not mean that Naruto own (through first generation) Lightning Dragon Slayer magic is inferior (a dragon does not need to be king to be strong after all).

I really really tried to make the Edolias arc start here but it ended up being too long for this chapter. Don't worry the beginning of next chapter will flashback to how the ending came about.

Chapter 55 Gildarts return

Unknown to the guild even Naruto who was not actively searching for strong magical powers Gildarts Clive the "Ace" of Fairy Tail was heading towards Magnolia and more importantly the Fairy Tail guild Hall.

"Naruto-kun. I was wondering if you wanted to do something later?" Mira asked in a rare show of schoolgirl vulnerability as she played with a strand of her long white hair and had a hint of a blush on her cheeks.

Naruto secretly thought Mira's good looks were only enhanced when she looked shy and vulnerable chose to not comment on it.

"Sure. Anything you want. Do you want to invite your siblings or anyone else?" Naruto asked curious as he knew as an older sibling they liked to include younger siblings during outings.

Unseen to Naruto Elfman was shivering as his instincts as a man were telling him to stay away. Mira had her back turned to her but he swore he saw Mira Take Over form glaring at him in an illusion form.

"Its okay Naruto! I need to do some manly training by myself so I don't want Mira-Nee to get in my way!" Elfman claimed bravely as he struck a tough guy pose but secretly sweating.

"Oh? Alright Elfman. You be careful." Mira said sweetly as her smile made Elfman sweat less as he could tell it was the right choice.

"How about you Lissanna-Chan? Do you want to join us?" Naruto asked kindly to the younger girl who smiled at him.

Mira sent a pleading smile behind Naruto's back which Lisanna caught and secretly nodded.

"Its alright. I still need to teach Kinanna the ropes of being a waitress so I don't want to be a bad role model and just leave." Lisanna claimed with a wink as eh glanced at the pleased Mira.

Mira voiced 'Thank you.' As Lisanna beamed inside.

'Go Mira-Nee! You need to take the chances you get!' Lisanna silently cheered her older sibling on to go on sort of a date with the man she idolized.

Kinana nodded but secretly was confused.

'Hmm I thought we went through everything already but it will be nice to have Lisanna-chan to talk to while I am serving drinks.' Kinana thought not realizing Lisanna was using her to get out of interrupting Mira's time with Naruto.

Naruto nodded before he shared a bright grin with Mira.

"I guess it's you and me Mira-chan!" Naruto stated cheerfully being rather pleased to be spending time alone with the beautiful model.

'Finally! He is always with his team! It sucks I already made a team with my siblings before Naruto-kun arrived and he of all people would not want me to break our team just to be aprt of his team.' Mira silently whined.

'It also doesn't help his team already is the largest team in Fairy Tail with 2 S-class wizards and having a third would make it so stacked even I couldn't justify it. Damnit Erza! Why did you collect him as part of your team before I could ask him to be part of mine!' Mira thought annoyed as it never dawned to her to spend the most time with her crush would have been on the same team as him.

Natsu and Gray shared looks before Natsu yell got Naruto attention who was having a friendly warm conversation with Mira.

"Naruto!" Natsu yelled as Naruto turned over much to Mira ire.

"What is it? If it's a fight. I am not in the mood Natsu." Naruto told him with a sigh as Natsu shook his head.

"Not this time. I want to know who that woman was?" Natsu asked as Erza's eyes widened.

"Woman? Who is Natsu talking about?" Mira asked sweetly but her jealously leaked through as some of her long white hair started to hover as if possessed by her demonic magic.

Naruto did not seem to notice even as everyone besides Lisanna inched away from the white-haired beautiful model.

"Honestly I am not sure who Natsu is talking about. I haven't been around anyway new recently let alone someone that Natsu would notice." Naruto noted looking confused.

"Who are you walking about Natsu?" Happy added as he plopped on top of Natsu's spiky pink locks.

"That woman with blonde hair and brown-coloured eyes! The one that Erza saw on our job!" Natsu explained as everyone turned to Erza who looked irritated.

"Natsu you idiot! I told you in private! I did not tell you so you could make a scene!" Erza snapped as she threw a bottle at Natsu who yelped.

Naruto waved a hand as the bottle stopped in mid air and flew towards Kinana who looked grateful.

'Thank God Naruto-kun is here! It's a really pain to keep picking up these broken bottles especially when the guild breaks them in drunken stupors.' Kinana thought with a smile.

Naruto sighed as he put his hand up to stop Erza from beating Natsu to a bloody pulp as Natsu looked afraid but relaxed when Erza frowned but nodded.

"Its alright Erza. I suppose it was a harmless mistake. Honestly its not much a big deal for me anyways." Naruto stated as he cracked a knuckle.

"I thought you guys were fighting Vulcans in your last job? When did this mystery woman come into play?" Cana asked curiously with a smile as she gulped the rest of her bottle down in one thirsty gulp.

"My Illusion magic slipped up while we were fighting as I was thinking about my past in Kohona." Naruto lied effortlessly as he sent quick glares at his teammates. AN2:

'Okay note to self he really does not want us to talk about his Sexy Jutsu.' Lucy thought as she gave a tiny nod.

Naruto waved his hand as an imagine filled the guild hall till it showed a blonde woman with brown eyes. This woman was very beautiful with pink lipstick and red finger and toe nail polish. She had her blonde hair in shoulder bangs and the rest tied up to a long ponytail that reached her back. She had a notable violet diamond marking on her forehead. One thing that most men noticed instantly was her giant breasts that seemed to hang from her chest and notably jut out.

Her gray kimono style blouse that she wore over her chest did not help as it notably showed a large portion of her cleavage. She wore a green haori over the blouse along with blueish gray pants that ended at her calves. This revealed her open toed sandals on her feet.

'So big… Are they bouncing as she is breathing?' Wendy thought with her usual slight amount of jealousy as it seemed almost every female she met had turned into 'boob monsters'.

"Beautiful Woman!" Makarov chanted with hearts in his eyes.

"Is she single?" Wakaba and Macao asked at the same time.

Romeo looked ready to cover his face in shame.

"Wow Dad really?" Romeo mumbled in embarrassment.

Gajeel and Elfman were getting glared at from Evergreen and Levy for looking a tad interested.

Mira was looking discreetly at Naruto and sighed in relief when Naruto did not look slightly interested in the woman as Lisanna giggled at her older sister antics.

'That woman is truly a mature beauty. I am glad Naruto-kun sees her like family I think?' Mira thought in relief as even she could not see any real flaw in the woman's appearance.

Natsu and Happy looked rather flat along with Freed. Cana whistled impressed while Erza looked interested in an impressed way.

"This is Tsunade Senju although she doesn't really use her last name which would technically be Tsunade Senju Uzumaki if we were being technical." Naruto informed them cheerfully looked amused at the reactions of the guild.

"Tsunade…. Tsunade… Why does that name sound familiar…?" Levy thought as she was thinking back to when Naruto was talking about his life before coming to Earthland.

After a minute her eyes widened.

"Tsunade as the woman you called "Baa-Chan" in your stories?" Levy yelled as Naruto looked impressed.

"My boy! How could you call this beauty a granny? That is an insult if I ever saw one!" Makarov demanded as most of the guild also looked at Naruto like made an insult.

However, Lucy was deep in thought.

'Wait… If Naruto can use that transformation Jutsu to turn himself into a girl… Could it be possible Tsunade-san is using a transformation and is actually older than she looks?!' Lucy thought.

Naruto smirked as his smile grew.

"I call her Granny because she was 51 when I met her at age 12!" Naruto revealed as he let the information drop in.

"…" There was silence in the entire guild before there was a massive shout.

"That beauty is in her 50's?!" The entire guild yelled at once as Naruto couldn't hold it back.

"You should see your faces! So funny!" Naruto chuckled as he laughed at the dumbfounded expressions on his guildmates faces.

"Don't worry. Even for the Elemental Nations most men wanted to bend Tsunade Baa-Chan over despite her being in 50's." Naruto assured his guildmates as he could tell most of the men would have took Tsunade to town if ever given the approval.

"Tsunade constantly uses a Transformation jutsu at all times so she appears in her late 20's aka the prime of her life. She is kinda vain like that. She doesn't want to admit she is getting on in her long life." Naruto remarked casually.

"So don't worry about it. If she ever let her touch her, I can safely tell you everything about her would be real. It's a fake kind of real but she actually looks and feels like she looks on screen." Naruto commented which made most of the men sigh in relief much to the female's disgust.

"Okay moving on from the guy's creepy fantasy to bed someone from your past." Lucy started as she glared at the men with her hands on her hips. The men looked rather unashamed and even looked at Lucy with lust until they felt Mira's annoyance which made them look away and whistly innocently.

"I get why you would call her granny if she lies about her age." Lucy admitted although she did secretly think that she might have done the same thing if she could.

"But why do you have such a fond look on your face if you call her granny and don't seem interested in her physically?" Lucy asked as Naruto smiled at her.

"My mother died the same day I was born and I never really had anyone who was a mother figure to me growing up." Naruto stated sadly before he waved his hand not wanting anyone pity.

"Tsunade was kinda pain in the butt when I first met her. She was hurting and couldn't move on from her past and pain so she didn't want anyone close to her. I eventually impressed her enough for her to become the 5th Hokage and she just accepted me calling her Granny while she called me a brat. It just became natural to us." Naruto remarked as he smiled at the illusion.

The girls awed at his story while the guys had small smiles at Naruto clear affection for the woman.

"Also, I later learned Tsunade and my mother were distantly related as members of the Uzumaki clan so in reality she is distantly related to me as well. Although I call her granny more for the fact she has constantly supported me in a way I think a grandmother would." Naruto admitted as he waved his hand as the illusion faded away but not before the Tsunade illusion gave him one last look of pride.

"By the way even if Tsunade didn't have any illusions on and actually was that age she would not be interested in anyone. She only loved one man her entire life and even he died decades later she still could not find it in her heart to love another." Naruto warned before he gained an eery smile.

'Pervy-Sage learned that the hard way. I guess maybe that was part of the chase? Trying to attain someone who wasn't interested in you?' Naruto mused as he felt fond memories of Jiraiya constantly being rejected and not being offended when he was smacked around by the female Sannin.

'If Pervy-Sage truly had a problem with Baa-Chan, Baa-Chan would not have stood a chance against him in a fair fight.' Naruto thought. AN3:

"She is considered the strongest Kunoichi to ever live although that title might not be true anymore. She could destroy mountains in single punches and heal almost any injury inflicted." Naruto mused as the males shuddered.

Naruto waved his hand which caused the illusion of Tsunade appeared once more just to show her power. She cracked the illusionary ground with a single finger causing a crater and then shattered an entire mountain with a single punch.

Erza and Mira looked impressed at the description of the woman as Wendy eyes shone with excitement. Lucy and Levy were in between in awe and fear of the strong woman.

'I guess she must have cared for me like I cared for her and she would have actually smashed my face in instead of being irritated I called her Granny all the time.' Naruto mused to himself in amusement.

'That woman is insane! I am not sure who is scarier! Her or Erza-san?!' Lucy thought in fear as she imagined a standoff between her redhaired teammate and Naruto's more or less Grandmother figure.

'Okay note to self. Do not try to hit on someone that powerful. I want to live for a few more years!' Makarov thought as even his own slight perversions did not win out against self preservations.

'I wonder if there is some trick to Tsunade's strength or if its naturally something she can do at will?' Erza thought as her eyes sparkled.

"So to answer your question that woman you saw is my more or less Granny Tsunade-Baa-Chan." Naruto added with a smile as Natsu smiled and nodded.

"Thanks for sharing, Naruto." Gray added trying to avoid Juvia's glare as she caught his eyes straying to the illusion's abundant chest.

"You're Welcome. Tsunade still means a lot to me. So, I hope she can have a full and happy life from here on out." Naruto replied with his voice growing softer at the end. Naruto closed his eyes and offered a silent prayer to the older busty blonde.

Naruto perked up as he sensed a strong magical power approaching the town.

'Interesting. This magic power is on a different scale from Erza, Mira-Chan and even Laxus. Could it be the so called 'Ace' of Fairy Tail Gildarts Clive?' Naruto thought as was rather interested in meeting the man.

"Naruto?" Makarov asked curious when he saw an interested look in Naruto's eyes.

Before Naruto could reply a member of the town stormed in.

"Master Makarov! Its Gildarts!" The town person yelled waving his arms.

Everyone besides the new members like Naruto, Lucy, Gajeel, Juvia, Wendy, Carla and Kinana started to sweat. Natsu cheered while the S-class members Mira and Erza sighed.

"Oh dear. Prepare the town although I suppose at this point, they have already made preparations." Makarov sighed but he was pleased Gildarts had returned.

"The Gildarts shift?" Erza asked with a sigh.

"The Gildarts shift." Mira confirmed.

"Gildarts shift?" Wendy asked cutely as Mira gave her a warm smile.

"Gildarts is our Ace Wizard. He is the strongest mage besides Master in Fairy Tail." Mira declared with everyone nodding but Gajeel crossed his arms in denial.

Wendy looked interested along with Lucy but they did glance at Naruto who seemed interested and not offended at the insinuation Gildarts was stronger than him.

"Just between you and me I am not sure if Gildarts still holds the title with Naruto-kun but keep it between us. A lot of the members will deny the possibility unless Naruto-kun beats Gildarts in a fight in front of them." Mira whispered to Lucy with Wendy close enough to hear.

Lucy resisted giggling while Wendy smiled.

"How long has it been?" Lisanna asked with a finger on her chin in wonder.

"Three years more or less since he left for that 100 Year Quest." Gray noted with Natsu nodding his head.

"Yup! Since it's been 3 years it means that I am a lot stronger! This time I will put Old Man Gildarts on his butt this time!" Natsu declared as everyone gave him skeptical looks.

"I doubt it. Natsu probably couldn't even beat Laxus and Gildarts is a lot stronger than him." Happy whispered as Carla looked surprised at his bluntness.

"100 Year Quest?" Naruto asked looking politely surprised.

"Let me explain Naruto-kun!" Mira declared instantly smiling when Naruto gave his attention to the beautiful model.

"So as everyone knows the S-class job are only for S-class wizards. However there are jobs that are more difficult then S-class. The next step is SS-class jobs. Neither Erza or I have actually gone on SS-class jobs yet." Mira admitted as Erza nodded. AN4:

"Jobs that even Mira-san and Erza-san can't do?!" Wendy gasped in shock and fear along with Lucy.

"Its not that Wendy-chan. Its more like SS-class jobs would take months to complete due to their complexity rather than Mira-Nee or Erza not being strong enough!" Lisanna explained as Mira waved.

"That's right. I could not bring myself taking months away from my siblings doing a single job." Mira noted as she glanced at Naruto out the corner of her eye.

'Now I couldn't spend months away not seeing Naruto-kun either.' Mira admitted to herself.

"Plus, Sorcerer Weekly fans would cry if Mira was unavailable for months for their weekly and monthly bikini spreads." Levy added as most of the men whistled innocently when Mira frowned at them.

"Seriously. You could at least pretend you are not reading the articles for pictures of me posing." Mira sighed putting her hands on her hips.

"Can you get back to the 100-year Quest?" Carla added impatiently as the conversation had gone on a tangent.

"Right. The next step up is 10-year Quest. A 10-year Quest is a job that hasn't been done in 10 years or more. They are jobs so tough that no S-class Wizard has finished them so they are open to any guild until they are complete. After that is 100-year Quest. I don't think there is many of them as they are supposably been around for 100 years and still haven't been completed." Mira explained as everyone who wasn't S-class started to shudder in fear.

"A job that hasn't been done in over 100 years! Not even by S-class wizards?" Lucy screamed as Wendy started to rock herself back and forth in a fetal position in fear.

Naruto chuckled as he patted Wendy on the head making her calm down.

"Don't worry about it. Worst case scenario if Fairy Tail ever had to do a 100-year Quest I would do it myself rather then risk any of you guys." Naruto promised with a grin.

The guild had a mix of incredulous expressions and somewhat admiration for Naruto's declaration.

Lucy and Wendy looked at Naruto with awe while Erza nodded her head in approval. Mira licked her lips softly finding this side of Naruto rather attractive while Lisanna was secretly cheering Naruto on.

Makarov silently nodded as he thought 'Honestly Gildarts and Naruto are probably the only ones I could send on 10-year Quests let alone 100-year Quests if it ever came down to us being forced to take one. Gildarts has the power and experience and Naruto is a monster in every regard.'

Natsu's nose twitched as he glanced at the door to Fairy Tail guild hall.

"Here's here!" Natsu announced just as the door slammed open.

"I am back! I think…. This is the Fairy Tail guild Hall, right?" The tall middle-aged man with orange hair asked sheepishly rubbing his forehead.

Before anyone could reply Natsu ran towards the man with his fist already covered in Fire Dragon Slayer magic as he jumped aiming his fist at the man's face.

"I got you now Gildarts!" Natsu roared with a happy grin.

"Huh? Oh Natsu?" Gildarts asked as he turned around and his hand which was poised to shake Natsu's hand turned into a backhand slap.

Natsu face seemed to collapse in itself as he was sent flying from the force of the 'light' slap done unintentionally by the mighty 'Ace' Gildarts. Natsu flew screaming until a gust of Sky Dragon magic caught Natsu and carefully set Natsu down before he could be flown through the guildhall and likely destroy the wall. Naruto hand had lazily waved as he causally used his magic.

Gildarts turned to the new young man with a kind smile.

"Oh? Some sort of Wind Magic? I don't see many people use that sort of magic." Gildarts remarked with a raised eyebrow.

'He seems strong for someone so young. He doesn't seem to leave himself open.' Gildarts thought critically as his experienced eyes could see beyond Naruto's relaxed stance was a battle hardened warrior.

"Actually, he uses Sky Dragon Slayer magic." Makarov announced as he walked over to Gildarts with a warm grin.

"Master! It's been far too long!" Gildarts chirped as he bent down to shake Makarov's hand.

"It has been too long indeed." Makarov agreed as he shook hands with Fairy Tail's 'ace' wizard.

"Who is that giant? He batted Natsu-san like he was a fly!" Wendy whispered to Lucy who shook her head in fear.

"That is Gildarts Clive. He is Fairy Tail Ace." Erza told the girls seriously as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Yup. You can count on old Gildarts. He is Fairy Tail strongest member besides Master himself." Wakaba added with a sigh of relief as most of the guild nodded their head in agreement.

'Hmph. I bet my Naruto-kun could give Gildarts a run for his money. Gildarts might be a level beyond Erza and I but Naruto-kun is also on a different level.' Mira thought confidently.

Gildarts and Makarov had taken some seats at the bar as the guild gave the two men some time alone to catch up.

"Sky Dragon Slayer magic? Like Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer magic?" Gildarts asked with intrigue as he drank from a mug of beer.

"That's right since you went on the 100-year quest there have been some new additions to the guild." Makarov remarked.

Makarov and Gildarts glanced over and saw Naruto heal Natsu's flattened face with a simple tap on his forehead covered with Sky Dragon slayer magic.

"There is that blonde cutie over there Lucy. She has the right 'attributes' if you know what a I mean. Hehe." Makarov whispered as they discreetly took a look in Lucy's direction who was at a table with her team, Mira and Lisanna.

"You sure do know how to pick them Master." Gildarts praised as the pair resisting blushing like perverted old men due to Lucy's mature figure and beauty.

"Then we have Juvia and Gajeel who were former members of Phantom Lord." Makarov stated stoically as Gildarts frowned as even, he had heard of the infamous war between Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail.

"I will trust your judgement, Master." Gildarts stated neutrally as he decided to trust his master on that particular matter.

"We also have a new cutie called Kinana who works at our bar." Makarov added as he pointed at Kinana who gave the two men a smile and wave.

"Hmm cutie. I have a feeling she will be a beauty when she becomes a woman." Gildarts remarked with interest as Makarov coughed to get his attention.

"Then we have Little Wendy-Chan and Carla. Carla is like Happy. A talking cat who flies." Makarov brought up as he subtly pointed to the blue haired girl and the white cat.

"Huh. Maybe Happy will have a friend who be more in the future?" Gildarts joked as the two men shared a laugh.

"What kind of magic does that little girl use?" Gildarts asked as Makarov nodded.

"She uses Sky Dragon but only for healing as far as I can tell." Makarov remarked as Gildarts whistled.

"Master, I noticed you left the blonde guy who caught Natsu for last?" Gildarts remarked as he looked at Naruto with the corner of his eye.

"Gildarts everyone here knows this but I would still request that you don't bring this up in casual chat with the public at least till Naruto himself reveals it." Makarov said seriously as he looked up at Gildarts with a serious expression.

Gildarts looked interested but nodded his head.

"Alright. I swore on the First Master name that anything you share with me stays within the guild." Gildarts promised.

Makarov let out a sigh as he started to talk about Naruto and his past. This took several minutes with the rest of the guild still chatting around but nobody left wanting to chat with the Ace of Fairy Tail after his talk with Master Makarov.

Gildarts swallowed another gulp of his beer as he burped.

"Wow talk about a story. I have been to many places but even I can say I am surprised about what that kid's been through." Gildarts admitted with notable impressed tone.

"He is certainly very strong and not just in magic or power. A lot of people would have succumbed to hatred and hated the world instead if trying to save it. He is certainly very special." Makarov noted with grandfatherly pride shining in his tone.

"So, the kid and that little girl can heal people huh? Must be very useful especially with a guild like ours." Gildarts remarked deciding to change the topic as he could sense that the subject was starting to get heavy.

Makarov let out a loud laugh as the guild around him looked at him in surprise but he waved them off.

"I would say! Its rather amazing that the deadly dragon Slayer magic like Natsu or Laxus can be used to heal wounds as well!" Makarov stated happily before his eyes grew sad when he mentioned his grandson's name.

Gildarts patted Makarov on the back in sympathy as Makarov had also mentioned some of the events that happened while he was gone. They were about to speak more before Wakaba loud voice could be heard from the crowd.

"Gildarts! You could beat Naruto, right? He is quite the strappy kid but he is still nothing compared to you right?" Wakaba asked as he shuddered when Mira glare seemed to burn his back. AN5:

The guild shifted to Gildarts who only laughed.

"Well, I don't know about that. Master has said Naruto seems to be rather strong indeed." Gildarts commented as he gave Naruto a lazy grin.

Naruto looked amused as he gave the older wizard a hand as if offering his own.

"Well. I guess it is an honour to meet Fairy Tail Ace. I am Naruto Uzumaki. Pleasure to meet you." Naruto greeted as he looked expectancy at Gildarts.

"Hmm. More polite then Natsu. I like it." Gildarts remarked as he ducked Natsu swing to his head.

Natsu missed but instead of destroying the floor like usual Naruto caught him in a bubble and placed him back on his feet. Natsu was about to charge again but Erza bonked him on the head and gave him a warning glare making him whimper.

Gildarts met his hand with his own as they grinned. Everyone yelped as a shockwave appeared when they seemed to try to overpower each other in a mid arm wrestle. The shockwave was not caused by magic but by sheer physical strength as the two of them appeared to measure the other strength in a brief clash.

"Oh I like you kid. You certainly have spirit and guts for meeting me head on like this." Gildarts remarked with an impressed grin.

"Heh. You aren't bad either for a geezer. I can see why you are Fairy Tail Ace wizard." Naruto admitted with his own grin.

This standstill happened for another minute till Makarov coughed as sent them a stern glare. They released their arms which sent a smaller shockwave as the pressure was released.

'Gildarts really is strong. I can tell he is missing an arm but he is still insanely powerful. I would say despite not getting a real scope of his magic he is probably more powerful then Zero. No wonder he called Fairy Tail's Ace.' Naruto silently thought with a critical eye. AN6:

'This kid. He met my arm without magic and I can't be sure but it seems to be just his own physical strength not that 'chakra' master mentioned. He takes his training seriously and his own power is impressive. I would have to admit apart of me would like to fight him and see what would happen.' Gildarts thought.

"Listen here. You are both S-class wizards and you know the rules. Fights between our S-class wizards need to sanctioned by me as Master of Fairy Tail!" Makarv chided them both.

"Preferably away from the guildhall." Makarov added comically as everyone sweatdropped.

"Does he only care because S-class fights would destroy the guildhall over and over again?" Lucy whispered unimpressed.

Mira giggled and covered her mouth with an amused smile.

"Maybe a little. Master is in charge of our budget after all." Mira admitted quietly.

"Just be glad we don't have a uniform especially for us girls. If Master had his way, he would probably force us to wear bikinis and heels all day long." Lissanna added as Lucy shuddered in terror at the thought.

Many men had perverted smiles and happy grins with healthy blushes as the collective had similar thoughts. Mira, Lucy, Erza, and Cana winking at them leaning forward with nothing but bikinis and heels. Notable exceptions were Natsu who was looking at Gildarts who himself was grinning stupidly. Both Greed and Bickslow seemed unaffected, Happy was just looking hopefully at Carla who just rolled her eyes, Elfman was cowering when Mira sent him a warning glare and he whimpered when Evergreen gave him an even bigger glare. Juvia was crying when Gray was blushing and trying to look away.

Lisanna sighed as she realized she gave her guildmates something to think over, Lucy was trying to cover her chest as if somehow her arms would hide her large chest. Wendy had nearly passed out but was also looking down at her own chest in depression.

Even Jet and Droy were blushing but kept looking hopeful at Levy who wasn't even looking them. She was glaring at Gajeel who had a grin that seemed to his normal grin regardless of situation. Alzack and Bisca looked rather scandalized at the thought. Romeo was trying to bury his face in shame as his dad openly grinned at the thought of 'uniforms'.

Erza actually looked both amused and thoughtful.

'Could such an outfit help raise funds? It does seem many men would pay tons of Jewels to take pictures.' Erza thought as her rational mind realized it could be useful in gaining funds for the guild.

Max looked eagerly at Reedus who looked surprised as Max was pointing at his drawing pad.

'Is he really expecting me to draw pictures like this? I would be killed before I could finish the picture!' Reedus thought fearfully.

Kinana blushed but looked down at her petite and still developing chest with worry.

'I wouldn't have to do that right? I mean I am not even a mage hehe…' Kinana thought nervously.

"Now that is an idea I could support!" Gildarts stated as many men chanted in agreement much to the disgust of the women in the guild.

Mira peeked at Naruto who seemed to be unaffected as she leaned in to whisper in his ear.

"Why wouldn't that excite you Naruto-kun? I mean most men would kill to see us in bikinis?" Mira whispered. She grinned when she felt him shudder slightly from her warm breath on his neck.

"Honestly. I know we have beautiful women in our guild but I just feel that if Master has to force you to dress in outfits you are not comfortable with, it just doesn't sit right with me. It would feel like you would be on display as objects instead of the women I trust and care for." Naruto admitted sheepishly thinking he was sounding like a nerd.

"Aw. That is rather sweet Naruto-kun. Don't worry. If you get excited about pictures of me I won't mind." Mira purred softly although secretly her heart throbbed when he admitted he saw her more then a sexual fantasy.

Naruto blushed at Mira's forward attitude but he couldn't honestly say he put off in any way. Mira was an incredibly beautiful woman and he honestly thought she was a very amazing person.

Mira smirked at her 'point' in her favour but she was far less pleased at the idea of the rest of the men imagining her 'willingly' dressing in bikinis at all time.

"Master. You wouldn't abuse us poor maidens, would you? I mean we are you precious children and parents do want their children to be in uncomfortable situations?" Mira asked sweetly with a sweet but fake smile.

"I was just joking my dear! I would never put my beloved female members in such uncomfortable outfits!" Makarov claimed as he tried to laugh it off but was secretly sweating inside.

Most of the rest of guild also laughed nervously remembering Mira demonic like aura when she was annoyed.

"Oh, I got it! You must be Mira-chan!" Gildarts placed his fist in his palm in recognition as he looked at Mira with a grin.

"Man! You have certainly grown! And…. Matured…." Gildarts stated as his eyes drifted to Mira's well-developed chest that even in her causal red dress was very prominent and large. His eyes were starting to drool as he continued to stare at her breasts.

"Excuse Gildarts. My eyes are up here!" Mira said sweetly as she put her hands on her hips as she looked annoyed.

"Hey! Eyes up here!" Mira snapped as Gildart's face continued to watch her chest not her face.

"Wooh! Hey! What's the big deal!" Gildarts yelped as he tripped and fall on his face.

He rubbed his nose which throbbed when his face slammed into the floor.

Everyone turned to Naruto who's his hand was suspiciously out and in a flicking motion. Naruto whistled before he saw his hand had moved and gasped.

"Whoops! Sorry about that! My Hand slipped and Sky Devil magic moved and tripped Gildarts! My bad!" Naruto claimed innocently as he waved his hand and put them behind his back.

"Kid is going to get it! He tripped Gildarts with his magic!" Macao whispered to Wakaba who looked at Naruto with pity.

Makarov sighed and was about to reprimand Naruto but all the sudden Gildarts got up and laughed heartedly.

"Its no worries! I understand! It was my bad!" Gildarts claimed as everyone looked confused at the extremely powerful mage.

"I get it. I wouldn't want anyone looking at my girl like I was trying to do at Mira-chan!" Gildarts commented with a sly grin as Mira eyes widened.

"Say what?!" Naruto yelped as his eyes started to widen as well.

"Well. I mean Mira-chan is your girlfriend right?" Gildarts asked innocently with a thumbs up.

Everyone turned to Mira and Naruto who were standing next to each other. Everyone could swear steam was coming from them as their faces were redder then Erza Scarlet hair. Mira and Naruto avoided looking at each other as they inched away from each other.

"Uh…." Mira squeaked as she swore her face was about to explode from embarrassment.

"…." Naruto was in a rare state where he simply could not give an answer as his brain appeared to shut off.

Gray sighed as most of the guild started to laugh at the two young adults embarrassment.

"Now lets not tease them." Makarov tried to reign in order but didn't help as he was chuckling and holding his side in amusement.

"Wow I guess if we ever need the kid to shut up, we just need to talk about his love life!" Wakaba joked as Macao joined in the laughter.

The laughter continued for almost a minute although certain people like Erza, Lucy, Lisanna, Elfman, Levy, Wendy, Gray and Natsu did not join the laugher. Even Carla gave a few chuckles at Naruto's expense while Happy was floating and laughing.

"…. Shut up…" Naruto whispered as his eyes were drawn to the floor so it looked like his bangs gave his face a 'shadowy' look.

Unseen to the guild his eyes started to electrify and he gave off a very faint aura of wind on his body. The guild continued to laugh and did not notice that Mira had stopped blushing when she could tell Naruto was no longer embarrassed but rather annoyed.

Outside the guild storm clouds started to form almost as if summoned by Naruto's raging emotions. Dark stormy clouds and thunder was started to form. Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy being dragon slayers took a sniff and could smell the storm clouds forming. This made even Gajeel stop laughing as he started to take a serious expression.

"Guys please stop it!" Wendy shouted but her soft voice was mostly ignored by the laughter of the guild.

"Shut your damn mouths!" Gajeel loud shout got everyone attention as Naruto continued to pant as his magic started to spiral out of control.

"If you continue to tease him this entire town will be annihilated by a Thunder Storm!" Gajeel shouted as he pointed to Naruto.

Everyone turned to Naruto in surprise as he lifted his head up revealing his eyes were now electric blue and his breath started to form into a gale surrounding his body.

"You guys have no idea what Mira's and mine relationship is like and you think I will sit back and let you joke about it!" Naruto yelled angrily as electricity formed across his body. The wind surrounding him even started to push outward and push away the members that were close to him.

"Naruto! You have to calm down!" Makarov shouted as his eyes turned yellow as he was preparing to turn into Giant Mode and subdue Naruto.

The guild members started to feel guilty even as they had to cover their eyes and faces from the winds that were continuing to surge out of Naruto.

"I have no choice! Sorry about this but I have to knock you out!" Erza declared as she prepared to Requip.

To everyone including Naruto's shock Mira shot through Naruto's Sky Dragon barrier even as it tore into her skin leaving scratches across her arms and face. She kept walking through it till she reached Naruto and softly grabbed his face even as a few scratches sent streaks of blood down her beautiful face.

"Its okay. I don't care what anyone says about us." Mira assured him weakly as she panted slightly from her many wounds.

"We care about each other and I will wait forever if that is what it takes." Mira whispered as she gave him a sweet smile before she fall into his arms.

"Mira!" Naruto yelped in surprise as the wind barrier and his electric eyes vanished. The storm outside the guild also vanished.

Naruto instantly wrapped Mira in his arms as he placed a hand on her forehead as he placed Sky Dragon magic into her. She started to heal instantly as they stared into each other's different blue eyes.

Erza then took the time to glare at the rest of the guild for mocking Naruto who looked ashamed. Gildarts and Makarov also felt bad but smiled slightly at the scene Mira and Naruto were making just holding each other and looking at each other.

'I guess these youngsters will just have to go on their own pace.' Gildarts thought as he could tell that Naruto and Mira had sincere feelings for each other even if they wouldn't openly say them out loud.

Naruto and Mira released each other after a minute as all of Mira's wounds healed.

Lucy smiled happy about their reunion but could not help an ugly feeling of jealously brewing in her heart.

'This is wrong… Mira-san is one of the people I respect most and is probably my biggest role model! Naruto is one of my dearest friends… Yet somehow the sight of them as a couple makes me want to both cry and rage at the same time.' Lucy thought shamefully but she refused to let it show on her face.

"Look I am sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that." Naruto apologized but Mira waved him off.

"Don't worry. Its not you I am mad at." Mira assured him sweetly with a wink.

She turned to the rest of the guild and gave them a dark glare making everyone shudder and apologized to the two for the teasing.

"Go Mira-Nee! Naruto-Nii will be waiting for you!" Lisanna whispered as her eyes glittered with the thought of her beloved older sister and essentially older brother/saviour being a couple.

'If they get married then Naruto-Nii will be really my big brother!' Lisanna thought deviously as Elfman nervously inched away from his younger sister.

'I hope Lisanna isn't thinking of pushing big sis Mira and Naruto together. They need time to figure it out themselves.' Elfman revealing in his own thoughts he was much calmer and 'less manly' then he liked to portray in public.

Makarov coughed getting everyone attention from the slight mishap with the teasing.

"Gildarts. On a serious note I need to ask you. How was the 100-Year Quest?" Makarov asked Gildarts seriously.

"I will be honest master. I failed completely." Gildarts admitted with a silly grin as the guild hung their head in disbelief.

"Seriously! Something Old Man Gildarts can't do!" A random member shouted.

"Ha! I probably do the quest with one arm tied behind my back! Gildarts probably just rusty!" Natsu bragged as Erza slammed her fist into his head for that comment.

"….." Naruto had a deep look of concentration as if he was thinking of something.

'Could it be That 100-Year Quest? If it was lucky he is lucky to be not have brought war to Fiore let alone be alive.' Naruto thought with a frown. AN7:

-While the guild was arguing about someone like Gildarts failing a quest Naruto saw out the corner of his eye Cana looking devasted. She did a decent job hiding it chugging a massive barrel of beer but he could see the slightest amounts of tears run down her face. The tears were hidden when mixed with the beer she was chugging down.

'Why is Cana so devasted? She seems to be down just because Gildarts is here. Not just him failing the quest.' Naruto thought.

"Sorry guys. Honestly I am not sure if anyone could complete the 100 year quest." Gildarts admitted before his face turned serious.

"If you want to take it. Prepare to die." Gildarts warned as everyone gulped even Natsu.

"Natsu! There is something I want to talk to you in private later, I will drop by your house!" Gildarts told an eager Natsu and Happy.

Gildarts was about to walk off after he left the guild but was stopped by Naruto who looked cheerful.

"Can I join you?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Huh? Why would you be interested in what I have to say to Natsu?" Gildarts asked kindly but with a hint of 'its none of your business' sprinkled in.

Naruto checked around before he got close to Gildart's ear.

"Does this have something to do with dragons?" Naruto asked as Gildarts eyes widened.

"How did you?" Gildarts whispered furiously as Naruto gave him a solemn look.

"I made sure to check for threats before I joined Fairy Tail. Dragons like them are not to be trifled with." Naruto noted with a dark expression.

"Dragons? I only met the one. Alright then. I suppose there is no harm letting you tag along if you already know the details." Gildarts decided with a sigh.

Naruto sent Gildarts a nod of appreciation as Gildarts went off to a bar while Naruto went back the guild. Naruto did consider asking Mira out for their 'date but not a date' but Mira waved him off saying she was going to keep it a rain cheque. She then offered him a nice look as she walked away with a slight sway of her hips. This got of course many jealous looks from the men of Fairy Tail with Erza and Lucy also being lightly annoyed at how open Mira was.

Naruto did however did take the rest of his team out to a gourmet buffet and let for once his teammates gouge themselves silly. Wendy and Lucy looked abit sick as Gray and Natsu seemed to gouge themselves to near death. It appeared that they were going to eat every bit of food they could with Naruto's money.

Erza, Lucy, Wendy and Naruto however eat a reasonable amount of food while Happy picked through as many of the fish dishes as possible. Carla appeared to eat a dainty amount of food showing open looks of disgust as the dishes from Gray and Natsu kept adding up into giant comical piles.

After awhile of eating the group split off again but this time Naruto went with Natsu and Happy to their home.

"You guys finally got here. I was waiting!" Gildarts greeted them with good cheer.

"Gildarts did you come here for a fight?" Natsu asked eagerly but Gildarts shook his head.

"Not right now. I am here to tell you about something." Gildarts explained before he sighed and took off his cloak.

Natsu and Happy gasped as it revealed that Gildarts left arm and left leg were now prosthetics and there was a huge scar on his torso.

"I lost my left arm, left leg and an organ fighting a Black Dragon." Gildarts revealed as he gripped his natural right arm tightly.

"Acnologia. To be honest if you fought him, you are lucky you came back at all." Naruto remarked with a wince as Gildarts nodded.

"He is a dragon like none other. I saw him but for a minute and before I could get my magic out to attack him, he already was behind me destroying my arm, leg and something in chest. I dropped nearly dead and was bleeding out." Gildarts noted as he looked down in shame.

"A dragon? Like a real dragon did this to you!" Happy asked in terror as Gildarts nodded.

"I thought he was going to crush my head but he just flew away without even looking at me while I was bleeding out. I guess I was so insignificant like an ant to him he didn't even bother to check if I was alive or dead." Gildarts remarked bitterly as his pride was shattered at the thought, he meant nothing to the Dragon he was suppose to slay.

"Did he say anything about Igneel or the other Dragons?" Natsu asked eagerly before he looked down as if realizing the extent of Gildarts injuries.

"Sorry, that was rude. I can't believe you of all people were taken down so quickly." Natsu apologized showing his belief in the mighty S-class wizard.

"That's okay. Feeling sorry for me won't grow the missing parts back. Honestly, I am grateful for coming back at all." Gildarts stated as he let out a laugh and patted Natsu on the back. Luckily he seemed to control his strength much better then usual and only tapped him instead of slamming him into the ground.

Naruto then gave a look of pity to Natsu as he sighed.

"Acnologia won't answer anything about your dragons even if he wanted to talk to a human." Naruto stated firmly as Natsu turned to him with a look of annoyance.

"How would you know? Have you talked to him before?" Natsu demanded as Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Acnologia according to legends slayed most dragons 400 years ago. His power is such no human born on Fiore has a chance to defeat him no matter how many times they fight. Now why would a Dragon that powerful ever have any intention of explaining things to a human?" Naruto informed him carefully as he leaned on the door.

"He does have a point. I mean he maimed Gildarts. This dragon does not seem friendly." Happy remarked as he floated around in a circle with notable fear.

"Tch! Then I will have to grow strong enough to force him to tell me where Igneel is!" Natsu declared as Gildarts gave him a laugh.

"Ha! That is the right attitude! Till then don't piss off Acnologia." Gildarts stated proudly as Naruto gave an amused smirk.

'Hmm he stated humans born in Fiore. Does he not count himself as not being able to match Acnologia?' Gildarts thought shrewdly.

"The real question is why? If Acnologia is as strong as we are lead to believe and has been around for 400 years why hasn't he taken over the world? Or why has he not caused more destruction to the point where normal people would have heard of him? Most curious are the motives of the almighty Acnologia?" Naruto remarked mysteriously as he gave a smile as if he had his doubts. AN8:

Nobody had an answer to the blonde but Gildarts and Natsu brushed it off assuming that Acnologia was some sort of mindless beast.

Sometime later…..

Naruto was unconscious buried in a mountain collapsed on top of him while the town of Magnolia was nothing more then a hole in the ground. There was only a rip in the sky above and beams of magic that were getting sucked into the void to have shown Magnolia was ever there.

AN2: It's a very minor lie that doesn't hurt anyone. He is going to talk about his sexy jutsu so telling them his magic leaked in response to his emotions is perfectly reasonable in his mind. It could have happened this way too it just didn't.

AN3: Its THIS Naruto opinion on a fight between them. If he asked Tsunade or Jiraiya they probably would say Tsunade is stronger but in Naruto's opinion Jiraiya would beat Tsunade in a one on one fight. In Naruto's opinion Jiraiya would much more likely not take the fight seriously while Tsunade is much more likely to take advantage and simply attack when given an opportunity.

AN4: I am not sure if its canon or not but in my story they haven't.

AN5: its still a thing but people like Macao and Wakaba don't want to believe Naruto is the strongest out of jealousy and delusions.

AN6: I will admit its abit tough to do power scaling in Fairy Tail but here is my reasoning. Natsu (even when he was drained) showed no fear towards Zero but as soon as Gildarts released his magic power (despite being full if not full power) Natsu was instantly downed and in fear. Of course, it could simply be a case of how stubborn Natsu is towards someone he sees as an enemy but I am using these examples as scaling. Naruto has beaten Zero so this is just his opinion but it works for the story.

AN7: Naruto doesn't know everything but he has travelled to many places with Mavis. (The reason he doesn't know about Edolias is Mavis doesn't know about it and they couldn't just travel there 'by accident' or anything).

AN8: His motivations will be a bit different then canon (where it appeared at the end he just truly wanted 'everything') but won't be explained quite yet. I will have an unique way to show his motivations later.
