Konohagakure no Sato, the Village Hidden in the Leaf, was peaceful. There was no threat of war, Madara and Kaguya had been defeated and vanquished to allow the world to sleep peacefully. And it was all thanks to one Knuckleheaded Ninja named Naruto Uzumaki. Of course his old friend and rival Sasuke helped too, but even the normally stoic Uchiha had admitted that it was the Uzumaki that had done most if not all of the heavy lifting in the end of the fight. That was before they decided to hash things out one last time at The Valley of the End and destroyed it more than her grandfather and Madara had when they had fought and created it.

Naruto was currently out on a mission and was learning how to lead a team so he could earn his Jonin promotion thanks to Kakashi (Who had seen fit to grant it to him after all the hardships he had gone through for the world.) who was also his teacher and the newly appointed Hokage of the Leaf. Tsunade was helping him settle in by sorting through the useless paperwork and the essential paperwork and telling him how it was easier if he had secretaries who knew what they were doing sort it out. However, Shikamaru more than qualified for the position as he had volunteered himself for Naruto's future position as the Seventh Hokage of the Leaf.

Kakashi sighed as he signed the last piece of paper on his desk and sat it in his completed pile of papers, "Whelp, that's the last of it. Thank god." he told himself.

The door opened to reveal one Tsunade Senju as she brought in a bottle of booze and two cups, "Hey Kakashi, time to celebrate two months of sanity behind the endless waves of paper." she called out.

"Oh, Tsunade-sama, I didn't know you were coming." He said.

"Ah what's the matter, too scared to actually celebrate the fact that it's easier to have a bunch of secretaries do the work for you. God only knows how you can finish faster than I can." she said as she poured the two of them a drink.

"I think that's because Shizune had you do it all just to be safe." Kakashi told her.

"Yeah, no doubt about that." she agreed.

However, before the two of them could truly begin to relax at the end of their workday a bright light enveloped them and startled the two Kage level ninja. Before they could say anything, they were whisked away to a unknown place. And all across the continent multiple ninja were being pulled from their activities as a light summoned them to a large room to read about how bad it could have been for their greatest hero.

As the light died down Kakashi blinked away the spots he saw in his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by familiar faces. Of course some of those familiar faces ere supposed to be dead, but maybe this as because he had ingested to much alcohol and had possibly passed out drunker than a skunk. A hand on his shoulder told him that, he was, however, not drunk. Looking at the owner of said hand he was surprised to see that it belonged to Master Jiraiya who had given his life to give them a message, quite literally, so they could fight against the Akatsuki, "Master Jiraiya, what's going on? How are you here?" he asked in confusion.

"Hey Kakashi, been awhile. Saw what happened during the war. You did good." he told the new Kage. and got a nod of appreciation, "However, all that we who have been here for a bit have found was this strange book." he said, motioning for him to follow.

"A book?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, but that's not all. We haven't been able to open it or even translate the title. It's rather puzzling if I say so myself." the spy master told the silver haired man.

"That is peculiar." Kakashi muttered.

"Yeah, I actually just came to get you cuz you somehow passed out after seeing Minato and Sakumo here ith us." Jiraiya said, causing Kakashi to wince as the memory flooded his head and he could only feel embarrassment, "So how is that godson of mine?" Jiriaya asked him.

"With the war over, Naruto has been learning things that could qualify him for a promotion. It was deemed a necessary thing due to his power. If he can take on S-Class and above missing nin and win it wouldn't sit well for a mere genin to do the job." Kakashi said with a proud smile.

Tsunade was with her grandfather discussing what had happened after the war had completely closed and he was pleased. He had been the first to arrive in this unknown place, the book had come roughly five hours ago, and Tsunade had been here roughly two hours. Hashirama sighed as he held the book, "Why won't you just open dammit!?" he cried out. He wanted to see what secrets it held for Pete's Sake and it was simply torturing him being unable to read it. As he was shaking it, he saw a note fall out of the pages. Without hesitation he bent over to pick up the slip of paper that had come out of the book he had in his grasp.

"Hey guy's, I got something." Hashirama called out, calling the other's who had appeared in the room who came over at the man's call.

"What is it Lord First?" Jiraiya asked.

"It's a note." He said excitedly.

"Seriously, a note?" Mei Terumi asked him with an incredulous look as she crossed her arms under her bust.

"Yeah, it just fell out of the book. I think it's time we can open it." Hashirama said.

"Let me see it, elder brother." Tobirama said as he took the note from the First Hokage, "Says, 'Please enjoy this story that has been provided', Well that's not much of a note if you ask me." He said as he looked up.

Hashirama tried opening the book, only to grin as the cover lifted, "It's about time, I've been waiting to read this thing for awhile now." He said.

"Well, can you at least tell us what this book is called?" The Fourth Raikage asked.

Hashirama gave a sheepish chuckle, "Oops, my bad." he said as he looked to the title, "The title is called, "Master of the Divine Fire", It certainly holds an interesting air to it with a title like that." he said.

"Indeed. Now if you could start reading Elder Brother." Tobirama coached.

"Alright then, Chapter 1" Jiraiya started as he read the book when a 200 inch TV appeared before them.

"What's this?" Kushina Uzumaki asked as a note fell into her lap. Curiously, she picked it up and read it.

"What does it say, Kushina?" Tsunade asked Naruto's mother.

"It says this tv will show what's happening throughout the story as it goes on. Neat, it'll make things easier to know what's going on." Kushina said, getting cheers from everyone as Jiraiya went back to the book.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!" Natsu screamed, falling down the mountain and landing, creating a small crater, "Damn mountain, stupid Godslayer and his not-able-to-eat-his-fire bullshit!" Natsu yelled frustrated, getting up from the crater and feeling a little sore with literal steam coming out of his ears. Sighing aloud, Natsu decided to calm down.

"Godslayer? What's that?" Kushina asked curiously.

"Wait a second, did he say something about eating fire? Does that mean that he can eat fire to power himself?" Minato asked with wide eyes at the implication.

"If that's true, than thig guys just made all fire style users inert." Tsunade hummed in thought.

"That's bullshit to be able to eat fire." A genin grumbled in annoyance.

"He also seemed to have been in a fight if what we just read is an indication." Kurotsuchi said, crossing her arms over her bust.

"Who is he fighting though is the question? Whoever this godslayer is." Mei said to the next Tsuchikage who nodded, making sense to her.

"Better go find Wendy and Happy to see if they're okay. Then after that, I'll definitely get revenge and beat that Zancrow guy's ass!" Natsu said getting pumped up to fight again. After walking for awhile, Natsu, with his enhanced hearing, heard a soft groan coming from the left of him and decided to check it out to see if it was one of his guild mates. He dashed off immediately, not wanting to waste any more time. Getting to the place where the sound came from, Natsu stood there in shock at the sight before him.

"Gramps..." He whispered in disbelief. Right there in front of him was the guild master of Fairy Tail, Markarov Dreyar, the old man lying beaten on the dirt, bleeding from a hole in his stomach, looking as if he was going die. "Oi, gramps! What happened!? Who did this to you!?"

"Oh god, what happened to him?" Sakura winced at the sight of the old man.

"Well shit that doesn't look good. Did he fight someone too?" Ino asked with worry in her tone.

"What's Fairy Tail though?" Kushina asked, worried about the old man, but the name caught her attention. As she asked that, a note fell in her lap and picked it up. "Okay, it says, "Fairy Tail is a guild in the continent called Ishgar. They're known for being destructive in the jobs they take for clients, but also care for each other like family." That's all it says." Kushina smiled at the words, liking the way they thought themselves as a family.

"I already like the guild if they're as fun as they seem." Konohamaru said with a smile.

"Natsu, my boy... you must not face the enemy who did this. I know you won't like to hear this, but... this is one war Fairy Tail will lose."

"Huh!? What are you talking 'bout old man!? Of course we'll win!" Natsu said with a shaky voice not believing that gramps would ever say something like that. The only time he saw him get this beaten up was when the Air Mage from Phantom Lord that cried a lot drained him of his magic but Natsu knew this was entirely different.

"Umm, excuse me, but did he say magic?" Tobirama asked with wide eyes.

"Huh, I guess instead of ninjutsu, they use Magic. Interesting, so a godslayer must be a form of magic that a person can use." Hashirama said in thought.

"This is another reality, so that shouldn't be too much of a stretch. What other types of magic is there though I wonder?" Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders with others nodding at his logic.

"Natsu, you must listen. Take Fairy Tail... take our family and get them off of this land; away from the danger that awaits. I'm trusting that you will complete the last mission I'm giving you." Makarov said in a weary voice, almost inaudible.

"Shut up! This is not the gramps that showed me my new home, the one that gave me hope that I would find Igneel! I promise to you, gramps... I promise to beat the guys down who did this! Now let's go look for Wendy so she can fix you up, 'kay." Natsu said get the turmoil in his head to focus on something else. It was then that a black flame landed near them.

"He's like a pink haired version of Naruto." Kiba whistled at the passion on his voice.

"Hahahaha I like kid." Jiraiya laughed while Tsunade shook her head with a chuckle.

"Oh, now I'm curious if he's anything like what you guys have told me about my son." Kushina said with a smile, glad that her son had grown up to be a kind hearted person.

"They also have a healer too. Glad to see that there are some still out there." Tsunade said with a smile as Sakura nodded in agreement.

"HAHAHAHAHA, I see master Hades already did his number on you, huh, Makarov? HAHAHAHA!" Zancrow said hysterically getting out of the burning crater he made when he jumped off the cliff. 'No! Not now!' Natsu screamed in his head as he was shivering visibly in front of both the spectators.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Kiba asked loudly, crossing his arms over his chest at the irritating laugh.

"How did he not burn if the crater was that hot? This guy just screams crazy to me." Shizune said with narrowed eyes.

"And Natsu is afraid of this guy? Huh, and here I thought he was like Naruto." Tsunade said in surprise, having not expected this.

"Let's keep reading and we can find out what's going on." Minato said, getting interested in the story.

'What!? Natsu showing fear! Impossible!' Makarov thought shocked, never once having seen fear coming off of Natsu, not even against Gildarts.

"Ohohoho the little dragon hunter is quaking in his boots? I don't blame ya! Anyone would cower in front of the 7 Kin- in front me... a Godslayer. Hahahaha!" Zancrow arched his back as he laughed loudly towards the sky. Natsu, all the while, was staring at his shaking hands, looking back and forth between Makarov, Zancrow and himself.

"This fear... it's not the one Gildarts was talking about." Natsu said in a whisper, clutching his hands into fists, "This fear I have is not of you, Bastard! I only fear that one of you assholes are gonna hurt my nakama! I will definitely get my hands on the one who's in charge of your guild and burn him to the ground!" Natsu screamed agitated as intense fire crawled up his body. His face twisted into one of extreme anger while all he could think about is how the guy in front of him was belittling his friends. "I'll defeat Master Hades! And I'll do it with my own two hands!"

"There's the spark, so it wasn't fear of the guy in front of him, but fear for his friends getting hurt. That's definitely like Naruto-kun." Kurotsuchi said with a fond smile, thinking about him.

"It's good that there are those that worry like that about their friends like him. The world certainly could use more people like them." Jiraiya said with a proud smile.

"Gaahaha, you think you can take down Master Hades? If you think you can defeat him with that lousy powers of yours, you must've fallen off that cliff harder than I thought, Dragonslayer!" Zancrow yelled, laughing at the thought of him beating Hades as intense black fire worked its way up his body as well, "That ain't never gonna happen if you can't even beat me, ya stupid punk!"

"Black flames?" Sasuke spoke slight intrigue since it looked similar to his Amaterasu.

Natsu, with an intense look in his eyes, pummeled Zancrow several times with his hands coated in Dragonslayer flames, knocking the crazy man back.

"You dumbass! Haven't you been hearing what I say? Your flames are useless against me!" Zancrow cackled madly as between his complete immunity to fire and his impressive physical endurance, Natsu would never be able to so much as scratch him.

"Ahh, so he's completely immune to fire because of his godslayer magic?" Ino asked with a curious look as a note appeared. "It says here that there are several types of Godslayer magic which is magic that allows them to kill gods such as Zancrow who is a Fire Godslayer which makes him immune to all fire attacks and spells." She read as everyone digested what she said. Dragon Slayers are mages that were taught by dragons.

"Okay, so he's unable to get burned by fire, interesting." Kushina said with interest.

"Why would dragons and gods teach humans magic that could kill them though?" Mei asked with a questioning expression.

"I'm not sure, but maybe we'll get our answers if we keep reading." Temari said as Jiraiya started reading again.

The flame-covered Natsu leapt across the tall tree's and tried to attack Zancrow with his Fire Dragon Talon. Zancrow merely raised his arm and blocked the attack before punching Natsu into the air with his own flame-covered fist.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu shouted his spell as he aimed for Zancrow. As the spell headed toward him, Zancrow couldn't help but grin as he once again ate Natsu's fire, greedily sucking it all in his stomach and watching Natsu's irritated expression with glee. Natsu couldn't stop his anger from rising as he watched his fire get eaten again. The sight of someone else eating the magic Igneel gave him infuriated him to no end; it made him feel weak, and he didn't like it, not one bit. 'There has to be a way I can eat his fire too!' He growled in his mind.

"HAHAHAHAHA, I'm not going to be able to eat anything else if you keep feeding me your flames, dumbass! Your dragonfire has got nothing on my divine flames, they are on a completely different level!" Zancrow said with venom clearly coming out of his words.

"Put a sock in it!" Natsu yelled, fuming at Zancrow as Natsu landed on a tree and clasped it, "I'll find a way to beat you even if your fire is supposed to be superior!"

"I'm far beyond you, little gecko." Zancrow insulted, further angering Natsu. "Unlike you, I can do more with my flames than just burn shit. I can fashion them into weapons that can cut down any opponent." Zancrow brought the flames in his hands together and combined them into a giant scythe made of black flame.

"Flame God's Severing Flame!" Zancrow yelled as he swung a giant scythe made of black flames towards Natsu, who narrowly dodged the attack by jumping high into the air propelled by his flames. As Natsu dodged the attack, multiple giant trees were cleanly cut down by the devastating attack and flew up into the sky while Natsu took full advantage of this.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu yelled, punching the tree down toward Zancrow, who didn't expect something like that as he was crushed under the broken tree. It wasn't long before a fiery explosion came from under the giant tree and blew into smithereens. Coming out of pile of burning wood was Zancrow and was annoyed.

"You know, a god's fire consumes all it touches, burning it to ash... and I pretty sure my fire would love to eat a puny wizard like you," Zancrow said laughing evilly under his breath but loud enough for Natsu to hear, "You're going down, little Dragonslayer! Flame God's Supper!" Zancrow covered his arms in what looked like two halves of a hungry maw and slammed it together consuming Natsu in the middle.

"Aaaahhhh!" Natsu screamed, hurting from the attack. He felt his skin slowly becoming aware of the heat emitted by the attack as the pressure bearing down on him was intense. The feeling of being crushed between the two solid domes of fire that could actually burn him was not something he wanted to feel ever again.

"Natsu!" Makarov screamed worriedly towards Natsu as he saw him try to eat the black flames to free himself from the fiery prison but failed as he choked on them and spit them out.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, what'd I tell you, you can't eat my flames! Although, it might take a bit longer for my flames to devour you since you're immune to regular fire, but I can wait as long as it takes to get rid of you! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Zancrow yelled with a crazed look on his face. While laughing at his impending victory, he felt something huge grab him and start crushing his torso and looking back, he saw Makarov with the arm of a giant trying to turn him into mush.

"WHAT KIND OF HEARTLESS MONSTER WOULD HURT ONE OF MY CHILDREN RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES!? STOP OR I WILL SQUASH YOU LIKE A BUG!" He screamed at Zancrow.

"Hahahahaha! Looks like your gramps is in the game now too! Let's see who can last the longest without dying!" Zancrow screamed in excitement as he lit his body on fire, burning Makarov's hand.

"Clearly this guy is off his rockers." Sakura said with a "hmph" as she glared at the screen of Zancrow.

"I wouldn't count Natsu out yet, I have a feeling that we'll see him surprise us." Hashirama grinned in anticipation.

"What makes you say that Lord First?" Onoiki asked curiously.

"Call it a gut feeling." He replied with a smirk.

"I pity you, young man, for you do not know the power of family!" Makarov yelled putting more power into his grip on Zancrow who grunted in pain in response.

"Makarov reminds me of sensei since he thought the village as a family." Tsunade smiled at her sensei who gave her a smile a father would his child.

"That's true and he'll do anything to protect his guild." Jiraiya agreed with his teammate.

"Let go of me you fool! Unless you really want to lose that arm that badly!" Zancrow yelled as he felt like his spine was touching his heart.

"GRAMPS!" Natsu yelled, building up his magic power as a globe of his dragon fire surrounded him. Natsu roared painfully while he fought against the pressure of the black flames with his own fire as he struggled to expand his magic and break the spell. But as he tried to fight his way out of the black flames, his own magic eventually gave out and the dragon flames could no longer be seen within the black flames.

'Natsu's magic power... ran out. It's gone...' Makarov thought, thinking of the worst possibility.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Looks like the dragon hunter is the first to go!" Zancrow laughing happily.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" Makarov screamed as he put even more pressure on his grip as Zancrow spit out some blood this time. But as a few seconds past, they were both surprised to hear a slurping sound. And when they turned their heads toward the direction the sounds were coming from, what they saw shocked them.

Natsu was eating the divine flames!

"That's not possible! No dragonslayer should be able to eat the element of a Godslayer!" Zancrow yelled with anger crossing his face again.

"Phew, I didn't realize there was trick to eating certain types of fire." Natsu said as he wiped his mouth.

'Unbelievable! He temporarily emptied his body of Magic Power to become an empty vessel for the foreign magic to enter his body! I wouldn't call such advanced manipulation of Magic a trick!' Makarov thought in amazement at once again seeing his child improving to great heights, before he remembered that Natsu nearly died pulling that off. "HOW COULD YOU BE SO FOOLISH, NATSU!? DO YOU WANT TO DIE!" Makarov screamed at Natsu as he threw Zancrow into the air by accident.

"Hahahaha, that was smart to completely empty his magic and ate a different type that would be impossible for him to eat." Hashirama laughed smugly.

"It was very reckless of him, very much like the boy I met during the war, but he is intelligent when it comes to battle." Tobirama admitted with a sneer.

"Tobirama, no need to act so serious." His brother chastised him with a laugh.

"Of course not Gramps. And I won't let anyone else either. No one's dying! We're all gonna make it back home to Fairy Tail!" Natsu said, jumping high in the air to catch up with Zancrow, "Dragon and Divine Flames, come together to become one!" He chanted as black fire started circling around his left hand getting bigger, while the same happened with his right hand as his regular flames started getting bigger, " DRAGON GOD'S BRILLIANT FLAME!" Natsu yelled intensely, crashing the twin giant orbs of fire between the Godslayer, instantly creating a giant explosion blinding the Makarov as they could hear Zancrow laughing painfully at his own defeat.

With the explosion dying down, Natsu landed roughly on the scorched dirt fiiled with ash while tumbling towards Makarov.

"Gramps... I know that you there are times where you can't fight back... that's what Gildarts taught me and that's what you want to do. You want to back down from this fight but right now we can't do that for this war. These guys made an enemy of Fairy Tail and we need to teach them a lesson about that. So let's fight on... G-Gramps." Natsu said determined look in his eyes.

"Natsu!" Makarov yelled. 'We'll definitely fight Natsu... and we will win.'

"You…pathetic…idiot," came the crazed voice of the blonde godslayer that Natsu thought he just defeated. Both Natsu and Markarov looked to see Zancrow getting back up again. Besides his clothes being frayed and some dust on his person, he was more or less uninjured.

'He's not even injured!' Markarov thought with fear as he could feel himself weakening from the hole in his stomach. He couldn't really fight right now and Natsu was now all out of power from the attack he just used.

"I see what you did there. You emptied your body of all your dragon slayer magic, temporarily making you an empty magic vessel that could consume once-inedible fire." Zancrow said in a unusually calm manner as he dust himself off.

"I don't like him when he's calm and not acting like a maniac. He's a little more off putting seeing him act so calm. It's not cool." Samui said with her normally cool demeanor, but had a small frown.

"But don't tell me, that for one minute, you thought you could," Zancrow growled before he started shouting, "DEFEAT ME WITH MY OWN ELEMENT!? NOW I'M REALLY PISSED OFF AND YOU'RE GONNA PAY!"

"No! Leave Natsu alone!" Markarov shouted as he enlarged his fist and tried to smash Zancrow like a bug. Zancrow saw this coming and jumped out of the way and into the air.

"Woah, that looks very similar to our expansion jutsu." Choji said in a little awe.

"Burn, you filthy dragon hunter! Flame God's Explosive Flame!" Zancrow shouted as he conjured a ball of his black flames in his hand before throwing it at Natsu with a punch-like motion.

Natsu was not worried. He had eaten the flames before and right now that his body had consumed them once, he should be able to do it again. "I ate your flames once, jerk, and now that I know how to do it again, this will be a piece of cake." As such, Natsu allowed the black flames to hit him again. The moment they hit him, the ball of black flames expanded and engulfed Natsu.

"No problem," Natsu said as his body was empty of magic and he tried once more to consume the flames. However, this time when he tried to consume them, he ended up burning his mouth when he tried to eat these flames and started coughing. He also got several burns on his arms. "Why!? I don't understand, I should be able to eat them while I'm like this."

"You stupid dragon hunter! That kind of trick only works once on someone like me!" Zancrow said as he landed in front of Natsu and began pummeling his face. "My magic is the same magic that the Gods of Fire used! Long ago, long before dragonslayers were a thing, the Gods still interacted with humans They had champions of their own that they taught their magic to. Those Champions would later record their magic and thus, the Godslayers were born. My own magic is the culminated knowledge of two dozen Fire Gods. I am the master of these divine flames! No one can control them but me!"

"Ahh, so that's where the name of the book comes from." Minato nodded his head, understanding now.

"But why are we reading a book that has nothing to do with us?" Ay asked with a scowl.

"There's a reason for it if we were all brought here, so we'll have to reading to find out, so relax Ay-sama." Mabui said calmly, hoping to ease her Raikage's temper. She was wanting to read this book seeing how it brought her back alive even for a short time, she was going to enjoy it.

"You get what I'm saying, dipshit!?" Zancrow asked Natsu as he stopped pummeling him and slugged him in gut, causing spit to fly from Natsu's mouth. "You ain't eating my flames ever again! Flame God's Hephaestus Hammer!" Zancrow shouted as black divine flames gathered in both of his hands. He clasped both of his hands together in a tight double hammer fist and swung them down onto the hunched Natsu's back, both smashing him into the ground and creating a destructive circular wave of black fire around them, kicking up a tower of dust and dirt.

When the dust cleared, Markarov could see that Natsu's back was badly burned, he was face down and he wasn't getting back up. 'No! Natsu!', Markarov thought in despair.

"Tch, he's still alive." Zancrow said as he saw Natsu was still breathing. He wasn't sure what was going right now, as he didn't remember learning those moves or why he was explaining shit to the pinky but he wanted to make him pay!

"I was gonna play with you some more but I'm done wasting my time! I'm killing both of you right now!" Zancrow shouted as he stepped back, a pillar of his flames erupting from him.

'He's preparing a massive spell! And I can't do anything to stop him!' Markarov thought as he could barely move.

"No Natsu!" Several people shouted in worry for the fire dragon slayer.

"Someone help them!" Kushina said with a worried look.

"Don't worry, Kush-chan, they'll be alright." Minato tried calming his wife down.

"Say goodbye to the dragon slayer, Makarov! And prepare to witness one of the Sacred Hallowed Arts of the Flame God Slayer!" Zancrow said as he prepared to unleash one of his strongest spell. "Ebony Inferno: -"

Zancrow suddenly stopped as the flames died. He would have just now unleashed an attack that would have easily killed both of the weakened Fairy Tail Mages, as well as burn this whole area to ash, but something stopped him. Red lines of runes appeared all over his skin. "What the hell?" Zancrow wondered as pain erupted through his body.

"Huh? What's going on? Kiba asked, confused.

"I don't know. Now I'm really curious on what is happening to him." Tsunade said in interest.

"The bastard deserves whatever's happening to him. He was acting like a jerk to them."Tenten said with a scoff and a wave of her hand.

Zancrow shouted out as he fell to his knees in pain. It hurt so bad he felt like every cell in his body was burning to ash. 'What's going on here?' Markarov wondered. 'A moment ago, he was going to kill both Natsu and I, now he seem's like he is in suffering.' Zancrow's head was raised enough that Markarov could see two runes on his forehead that read "Personality Seal" and "Loyalty: Grimoire Heart".

"Don't tell me that's what I think it is!" Markarov said in shock, 'Bad enough that Master Precht is the leader of the strongest Dark Guild, but now he has stolen this young mans free will from him with a loyalty rune and, if I'm correct, sealed away his true personality with a false one that Natsu and I witnessed.'

"What?!" Everyone shouted in horror and disgust.

"That's like something Danzo and Orochimaruo would do." Jiraiya said with a growl.

'But what does that mean? Is he still an enemy?' Markarov wondered as he watched the ripples in Zancrow eyes disappear.

"Gah!" the man known as Zancrow huffed and breathed deeply as sweat dripped from every pour in his body. His hands hit the ground as he panted. After taking several breaths, he looked at his hands.

"I...can still hear it." He said to himself as he clenched his fists, hearing scream's of his victims in his head as he closed his eyes. Well, he supposed they were not technically his victims, since it was Zancrow that did that and not him, but it was still his body that ended those hundreds of lives.

And then, he remembered how he ended up like this in the first place.

"Oh a backstory, I want to know what happened." Ino said, excited on getting some background information.

Flashback

The man that would become Zancrow groaned as he returned to consciousness, and felt himself being bound to a wall, looking up his eye widened seeing the magic restraining chains bind him as Hades was in front of him, along with 4 other mages in cloaks behind him.

"Mater Hades," Zancrow said, his ripple-less eyes that he previously had, "What are you doing? What's going on?" The last thing he remembered was that he had mastering the basics of his 3rd Lost Magic, which was the 6th magic he had learned, despite being only 16 years old. Then something hit him in the back of the head and he was knocked out.

"Wow, to master so much magic at his age sounds impressive, especially if three of them are considered Lost." Minato whistled impressively.

"I wonder what other magics he managed to learn. It's interesting to say the least." Gaara agreed with the fourth hokage.

"Why, my young Naruto Uzumaki." Hades said as he referred to Zancrow by his true name. Or rather, his original name. "You're a smart lad. Surely you can figure out what's going on for yourself."

"Naruto!?" Everyone shouted in surprise and worry.

"Sochi!" Kushina shouted in anger, seeing her son captive and unable to defend himself pissed her off.

"How'd he get there? What happened to him? Why are his eyes red now and where are his birthmarks on his cheeks?" Minato asked with confusion.

"I don't know Minato, but I'm not liking this situation the brat's found himself in. I am wondering the same though about his eyes." Tsunade as she was looking intently, not wanting to miss a detail.

"Bastard, what's he gonna do to him?" Sakura hissed at the screen.

"Why?" Naruto asked as he hung his head low for a moment before throwing it back up and shouting at Hades, "Why are you betraying me? I've done everything you've ever asked since you found me and took me in!"

Years ago, Naruto had come to this universe by complete accident. It was during the battle with Sasuke that their attacks collided and ripped a hole in the dimensions. Only Naruto managed to survive moving through the dimensions, and that was because the Kyuubi had worked overtime in an attempt to save him. The Kyuubi and his chakra had been lost in the dimensional rift and as a result, Naruto lost his whisker marks. Naruto's eyes turned crimson red though, likely due to his system being flooded by the Kyuubi's chakra at the time of extraction. Naruto ended up in a small town close to where he landed. He settled in the town for a bit, and remembered this cute girl who saved the town from a demon, a girl named Mirajane. They had been friends and he tried to help her and protect her from the villagers but she didn't stay and left with her siblings to escape the prejudice. Naruto ended up leaving as well, though he gone another route for them ostracizing his first friend he had made in this new world. In this new world, he had learned Flame God Slayer Magic from the tome that was hidden with the village catacombs and in his anger at losing his first friend, he used his new magic to burn the village to ash, killing many of the civilians.

"..."

No one knew what to say after learning that not only did Naruto travel dimensions, but the kyuubi was no more and that he didn't have his whisker marks anymore either.

"Awww that's so sweet he tried to protect a girl he cared about greatly and even avenged her by killing the villagers that tried to kill her and her siblings. I'm so proud." Kushina and many other girls gushed at how cute it was, but were also sad that he had killed so many people.

"He always did go above and beyond for his precious people and to hear that happen to someone that's similar to a Jinchuriki's treatment must've brought back some horrible memories. I can't really blame him for doing what he did." Sarutobi said with a sad smile, thinking about his grandson.

Hades had found him like that and took him in. Naruto repaid that kindness by doing missions for him and learned 5 other magics, two of them being other Lost Magics themselves.

"My boy, it's true that you have done much for me and my Guild. But lets be honest. You were planning to leave to find the girl from your village. Your friend." Hades said as Hades and Naruto knew who the girl was. Mirajane Strauss. The newest S-class Mage of Fairy Tail, Hades old guild. Nobody really knew this but Hades real name was Precht Gaelbolg, and he had been the 2nd Guild Master of Fairy Tail before handing it off to the current master almost 45 years ago.

Any who, Hades was aware of the fact that while the friendship between Naruto and Mirajane had been short lived, Naruto's desire to see her and be around her was all consuming and would not be stopped, not even by him. It was only a matter of time before he left of his own free will when Hades was not expecting it. He would normally destroy those with such insolence but Naruto was a special case due to his ability to master so many magics at a young age, 3 of them being Lost Magics. He did not want to give up such a valuable asset when he could still make use of him.

"So what if I do? Mirajane is the only friend I ever had. I miss her terribly and I would have followed after her as a kid had you not found me. I owe for giving me a home the last few years old man, but other than that, I owe you nothing. Let me go," Naruto demanded.

"Normally I would kill anyone else for such insolence, but you are a special case. You still are useful to me. And be useful, you will." Hades said as he prepared his ritual. Naruto looked at the four men with cloaks on and then he noticed four Lacrima which were connected to his chains…

"You-You're gonna steal my power and give it to them?" Naruto realized it before he started struggling. "No, I won't let you steal all my hard work and give it to someone unworthy, you bastard!"

"How dare that bastard, he's making my baby boy a slave!" Kushina clenched her fist angrily along with Minato. They'd kill those six for harming their son.

"They're dead if I meet any of them." Kurotsuchi growled, wanting nothing more than to melt them with her lava.

"I'd help melt them and make them suffer." Mei was just as infuriated as her fellow lava user, having grown close to the blonde Uzumaki since the war.

Many others gave their own ways on what they'd do to them, especially the Konoha 12, Gaara, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Gaara, Onoki Ay, and Killer Bee.,

"It's too late to stop the ritual my boy." Hades stated as red lightning arc into Naruto skin and he shouted in pain as lines of magic were ripped from his body, filling the lacrima. One lacrima became dark green. Another become purple. The third became black and purple and the final one became red with a kanji on it.

"It is done. His powers are now available for you all to take." Hades said as the mages behind him took off their cloaks, revealing them to be Azuma, Bluenote Stinger, Rustyrose and Yomazu.

"I noticed, Master Hades, that none of these Lacrima seem to hold his divine Flames," Rusyrose said, referring to his Godslayer magic.

"That is the magic he is most attuned with.I couldn't rip that out of him, even if I wanted to. And I still have intentions of keeping him in my service. He still is a useful pawn, after all," Hades said.

"He won't be very cooperative after this, Master," Azuma said as he picked one of the Lacrima out for himself, while noticing Naruto's drained yet angry expression.

"That's why I'm going to seal his true personality and replace it with one that is loyal to the guild." Hades said as Naruto lost his consciousness again, having his true personality sealed away and replaced with Zancrows.

Flashback End

"I didn't like that one bit." Sasuke said quietly with a slight scowl at what had happened to his best friend.

Naruto had been aware of the crimes Hades made Zancrow commit. He had been aware of everything the fake personality did while Naruto was unable to control his own body. A cruel punishment by Hades, likely to punish him for trying to leave. But it didn't matter now. He was back in control of his body. He was free.

"I'M FREEEEEEEEEE!" Roared Naruto to the heavens as torrents of black fire shot out of the ground him for a few moments. Standing up, Naruto reigned in his powers but still possessed his dark smile at finally being freed from that damned crazed counterpart Hades had trapped him in for the last few years. 'I'm going to enjoy tearing those fuckers apart for stealing my powers from me and keeping me from Mira all these years.' Naruto thought.

"Awwww." The women all gushed at how much he cares for her. The guys rolled their eyes in exasperation.

"But first," Naruto said as he turned to the two downed Fairy Tail Mages. He walked closer to Natsu and flipped him over, surveying the damage the fake him had down to the Fairy Tail Mage. "I'm sorry," Naruto said with remorse as he closed his eyes and was relieved when he found Natsu was still alive, though that last attack Naruto had used had shattered Natsu's spine. He would need to act quickly to save him. "I never wanted to hurt any of Mira's friends. I'm gonna make this right."

Naruto clasped his hands together and black flames appeared around them and Markarov looked on, helpless to do anything. "O, God of the Morning Sun, I pray to thee. Deliver salvation upon this poor broken soul. Flame God's Blessing of Apollo," Naruto incanted as Natsu became covered by Naruto's flames. These were not the typical destructive flames he uses in combat. Zancrow, the crazy fake personality that he was, had been telling the truth when he told Natsu about the number of gods the Flame Godslayer tome he had found had knowledge from. He was also telling the truth when he had told Natsu that he could do more with his flames than simply burn shit.

"Amazing, he can heal just like that with his flames and how much he managed to heal him is incredible. Who knew that Naruto could be capable of being a healer." Tsuande was impressed with his skills and proud that he could do more than just use it to fight.

"It's not like when he healed Kakashi's eye using the Sage's power, but still very impressive. I wonder how much he can heal?" Sakura said in slight awe.

Apollo was a God of the Sun, so he was associated with Fire, but was also the god of Healing, and as such, Naruto could use his flames to heal major damage, as he was doing with Natsu right now. Within 10 minutes, Natsu's spine was good as new and his other injuries he had sustained from battling Naruto's fake personality were fixed as well, though Natsu would not wake for some time.

Naruto got up and walked over to Makarov, kneeling beside him, once again casting Flame God's Blessing of Apollo. The divine flames Markarov entire form as Naruto slowly saved him from.

"Not to…sound ungrateful, but I am curious why you are saving me and my child," Markarov asked Naruto.

"Can it, ya old fool," Naruto snapped back, "You're still bleeding out from that wound Hades gave you. That Wendy chick won't be along for a while yet, so unless you wanna die from blood loss, shut up and let me fix you!"

"There's no need to be rude to him, he's just asking a question." Kushina said in a scolding manner as everyone stared at her blankly.

"You know, you're talking to a screen, right?" Jiraiya said with a blank stare.

"I.I know that!" Kushina stuttered with a red face.

"She does have a point though. It wasn't nice of him to act like that." Shizune said in partial agreement. It wasn't nice to say something like that.

"Sheesh, it was just a question," Makarov thought as he saw the hole in his stomach slowly close, life returning to the old man.

Naruto stayed quite for several moments before he started talking, "I don't know if you know this. But Mirajane and her siblings…they used to live in my village." Naruto said , shocking Makarov as he now knew who this man was. Mirajane and her siblings had spoken of him when they first came to the guild. "She was my first friend. I cared for her and her siblings, though I was closer to Mira, because I felt a kinship with her. See, I too, know the pain of being treated like a demon for something that isn't your fault. I wasn't enough for her though, and she left because of her prejudice. In my sorrow at losing the only friends I had, I made that village pay." Makarov didn't need to be a genius to know what that meant.

"Hades found me after that. He brought me into his dark guild but I never really wanted to join them. I only did because I had nowhere else to go and I needed to a place to stay while I learned to control my new powers. 3 years after that, I had gotten much stronger and found out Mira had become an S-Class mage for Fairy Tail. Realizing where my friend and her siblings had gone and that they were alive, I made plans to leave and join her at Fairy Tail. But Hades figured me out and stopped me."

Naruto gritted his teeth as he continued, "He didn't just seal away my true personality with that fake one you saw earlier, he stole my powers and gave them to some of the other members of his guild! He made me a passenger in my own body, forced to watch helplessly as my fake self killed hundreds of innocent people with my powers! And now my powers are being used against Mira's guild, against the guild I had wanted to…" Naruto stopped himself before he started crying at his own helplessness.

"The point is, I never wanted to hurt your guild. If I did, Mira would be sad. I saw enough of that when we were kids. I never want to see her sad again." Naruto said as he finished healing Makarov's wounds. "I've gotten you out of the danger zone and fixed the damage, but you shouldn't move too much. The Sky Dragon Slayer should be along soon to finish fixing you up."

"Aww" The women cooed.

"That's so cute that he did all of that for her. Our sweet boy is in love, Minato-kun." Kushina gushed as she laid her head on her husband's shoulder with a smile.

"I'm proud of him. He's become a good man by standing by his friends like that." Minato smiled at seeing the picture of their son.

"Of course he would want to help her, especially if she's been treated like Jinchuriki's than it's no wonder he lost it when he found that she and her siblings had run away." Tsunade said with a smile, proud of the person she thought of as brother/son.

Naruto made to leave but Makarov still had enough strength to ask him something, "Young man, I must ask, what will you do, now that you are free from Hades control?"

"Hades stole my powers and 3 years of life from me. First, I'm gonna get my powers back. Then I'm gonna hunt down Hades and kill him. After that, I don't really know." Naruto walked away after that. Makarov fell into a blissful sleep but not before promising himself that he would help that young man find his way again if they survived this encounter with Grimoire Heart. Perhaps he'd offer him to join Fairy Tail. It's not like Fairy Tail didn't have their own reformed mages in their guild. Juvia and Gajeel were part of Phantom Lord once and that guild was about as close to a Dark Guild as you could get while still being legal. Now those two were proud Fairy Tail Wizards. Of course, whether or not he would get to offer that option to Naruto depended on whether they could survive Grimoire Heart's assault. But something told him it was all gonna work out in the end.

"And that's the end of the chapter. I certainly enjoyed it and am now more curious about how Naruto-kun will do against the dark guild." Kuro said as she saw the book close on it's own.

"Me too." Mei said in agreement.

"He's going to kick ass and I can't wait to see how he does." Ay said with a grin in anticipation.

"I wonder what his training was like aside from learning multiple types of magic." Gaara said in agreement with his fellow kage.
