I don't own Fairy Tail or Naruto, Please enjoy.
It's been a few weeks since the explosion and Sasuke is no longer bandaged up. In fact all that remains is a small burn mark that became a scar on his forearm. Everyone seemed to treat Sasuke differently after that which annoyed him so he decided to wrap it up in a white cloth, along with wearing a black jacket with a white Fairy Tail emblem on the back for good measure. He's also wearing a similar outfit to the one he once wore when he first joined team seven. Except his shirt is white instead of blue and his shorts are tan.
From inside the guild Sasuke is sitting by himself until he hears someone walk behind him. "Hey Sasuke, I heard from Grey and Cana that you use your ice magic to create swords to fight." Erza says sitting next to him at the table. "Yeah, what about it?" He questions with a puzzled expression. "When you're feeling better I want to spar with you." The red head states. Sasuke raises his eyebrow in confusion, "What makes you think I feel bad? Is what happened all those weeks ago making you think that I'm fragile now. Well I'm not, I've been perfectly fine so stop pitying me and thinking I'm hurt, scared or anything pointless like that. It's wasted on someone like me, if you'll excuse me." Sasuke then gets up from his seat and walks towards the door of the guild.
He stops and glares back at all the adults who have been clearly listening to his brief conversation with Erza in disappointment. Sasuke then opens the door and walks through only to slam the door behind him, Sasuke then proceeds to walk down the steps and into town kicking a small rock along the way that breaks a nearby window. "Why am I reacting like this? They are only caring about me and yet I do something like this. I'm an awful person aren't I? I should apologize when I come back to the guild." He thought.
"Hey! Stop, thief!" A woman cried out. Sasuke looks up to see a scrawny looking man with a grin on his face running towards him with a satchel in hand. Sasuke puts his leg out only for the thief to trip and fall face first onto the cold pavement. "Don't need magic to stop someone so pathetic as you." Sasuke mocks, the thief glares at Sasuke only to extend his hand at Sasuke with a blue magic circle. "Shit!" Sasuke says barely getting out of the way as the building behind him gets struck with blue flames.
Sasuke then sees that some of his hair has been singed from this guys fire. "And here I thought it was going to be simple." Sasuke takes a quick look around to see that the thief is no where to be seen. He then climbs onto a nearby building to get a better view and spots the man running in the alley nearby. "I found you~" Sasuke says to himself.
He then proceeds to jump from building to building chasing the man, 'Ice Make: Shuriken'. Three ice shurikens are then thrown at the thief, two hitting the ground in front of the thief startling him and the third hitting the back of the man's hand making him drop the satchel. Sasuke then drops down behind the man kicking him behind his knee making him drop to the ground.
Sasuke wastes no time and grabs both of the man's arms pulling them backward as Sasuke puts pressure on the thief's back with his foot.
The thief screams in pain, "Stop, please, it hurts!" He begs, "Are you then saying stealing people's belongings is fine then!" Sasuke pulls the man's arms harder along with bending them. "No! Of course not… I just needed a way to feed myself, and stealing was my only option!" The thief explained in pain. "There are always options, even in a life or death situation. In yours you could've got a job, or joined a guild." Sasuke's grip began to tighten, "But instead you decided to go down this path."
"I'm sorry…" right as Sasuke was about to break the man's arms Laxus appears with a frown. "What are you doing Sasuke? Isn't this a little overkill for a mere thief." He says, Sasuke looks down and realizes that the teen was right. Sasuke releases the man and grabs the satchel, the thief then scrambles to his feet and walks towards Laxus thanking him only for a second later to be punched in the face by the lightning mage.
"See that, that was what a scoundrel like him deserves." Laxus states, Sasuke deadpans. "To be honest I think he needs more than one punch for setting the building back there on fire." Sasuke says. "I agree but anymore and the old geezer will lecture us, and I don't know about you but it's annoying and flat out boring."
"Now that's something I can agree with you on." Sasuke then continues. "Anyway I hope you can take care of this for me while I bring this back to its rightful owner." He gestures to the satchel in his hand. "I'm not your lap dog!" Laxus retorts. "I never said you were."
"Fine, but you need to go on a job with me next time I come back in exchange." Laxus states, "As long as I don't have anything going on, sure." Laxus smirks at this. "Then get going before I change my mind." With a nod of appreciation from Sasuke he then takes off in the direction of where the woman was last seen.
When Sasuke arrives he sees that the fire is being eaten by a pink haired boy around Grey's age, he then spots the guild master standing next to him. He walks over to the two as the remaining flames are devoured by the young boy, "Umm, Master… What did I just witness? Also who's the kid?" Sasuke questions.
Before Makarov could speak, the pink haired boy jumped up and down in excitement, "Are you one of the wizards in his guild that Gramps here was telling me about?" Sasuke looks at the boy in annoyance and confusion. "Calm down my boy, and yes this here is Sasuke. Sasuke this is-" Makarov gets cut off as the boy interrupts, "My name is Natsu Dragneel and I'm a dragon slayer."
Natsu then extends his hand out to Sasuke, Sasuke smiles and grabs the boy's hand to shake it. "It's nice to meet you Natsu, I may not know you that well but based on this experience I have a vague idea of your personality." Sasuke says as he lets go of Natsu's hand. "And what does that mean?" He questions, "It's nothing to worry about, I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing. I need to find the owner of this before I head back." Sasuke states, he then walks away from the duo and proceeds to walk around.
"Where is this lady?" He mutters, he then spots the woman sitting on a seat of stone steps of a building with a sigh. Sasuke walks up to her and holding the satchel out he interrupts her deep thought, "Excuse me madam, I think this belongs to you if I'm not mistaken." The woman looks from Sasuke's face to the satchel in his hands. The woman quickly stands up and gives Sasuke a hug of gratitude, "Thank you young man, you don't know how much this means to me." The woman states.
"It was no trouble, really, I just did what anyone would've done." Sasuke tries to reassure. The woman shakes her head, "No, not everyone will go out of their way to chase down a thief. Therefore once again I must thank you." The woman bows and with a smile she takes the satchel from Sasuke's hands and walks away.
"Well that was interesting." Sasuke says scratching the back of his head. He then makes his way to Magnolia park where he walks up one of the tree trunks and lays down on one of the branches and closes his eyes.
…
"Sasuke!" A distant feminine voice calls out, "Sasuke!" Another yet distant voice calls out. "Sasuke Uchiha..." a calm older yet vaguely familiar voice says. Sasuke sits up finding himself in front of the sage of six paths. "Its you again..." Sasuke says unenthusiasticly.
"Did I die in my sleep, or did you just bring me here to talk?" He questions, the sage shakes his head. "I did not bring you here, you brought yourself here." The sage answered. "I brought myself here, yeah like I'd do that. Listen I appreciate the second chance you've given me but as you can see I'm not being stupid so, you can just send me back now." Sasuke says crossing his arms.
"It appears to me that you are unaware of what you've done by combining your magic and chakra together." The Sage says, this confuses Sasuke for a moment. "I mean, my ice is black now because I merged the two and I can use my magic for a longer amount of time, but what of it."
"Do you remember who I am?" The sage asked, Sasuke nodded. "You're the sage of six paths Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, you're the one who granted Chakra and are the creator of the shinobi world. You're revered as a god because of it." Sasuke states bluntly.
"Correct, and by combining both your chakra and magic together you've become what is known in this world as a God slayer. But not in a normal sense that others know about." The sage explains furrowing his brow. "And what exactly does that mean?" Sasuke questions. "That doesn't matter right now, what does matter is you becoming a God slayer. Now that you can cause great calamity if you don't learn how to control this power." A voice says from behind. Sasuke turns around to see his former teacher standing before him. "Kakashi sensei, how are you here?"
"I'm not this Kakashi person but you can call me that if you want, after all I'm simply a figure you created." Kakashi states, Sasuke furrows his brow. He quickly turns back around to the sage only to find that he's no longer there. "Now now Sasuke, the sage of six paths can't help you in this world anymore due to his limited knowledge, and the fact he's not even supposed to even interfere in this world like he has already done by reincarnating Shinobi in several parallel worlds. He's already on thin ice, and if he interferes again he'll simply vanish into nothing."
"I get it okay, but why Kakashi out of everyone?" Sasuke said, "I don't know, that's a question you need to ask yourself." Kakashi says as he disappears into mist. "Hey! I'm not done with you yet!" Sasuke says reaching towards the mist only to grab nothing. "I'll speak to you later Sasuke."
…
Sasuke opens his eyes to find himself in a cold sweat still in the tree with the sun rising. "It's morning? That's strange, it was only the afternoon when I got up here. Did I sleep the entire time, how negligent of me." Sasuke says, pondering the situation. But before he could think anymore, the sound of several voices in different directions in the distance caught his attention, all shouting the same thing… Sasuke.
Sasuke jumps down from the tree landing on his feet and starts walking out of the park when the guild master is spotted. "Gramps?" Sasuke says, catching the old man's attention. Makarov sees Sasuke and walks over to him, "You've caused quite the commotion my boy, everyone has been looking for you since yesterday?"
Sasuke furrows his brow, "Why, this isn't the first time I've gone off somewhere without telling anyone. So why should they care so much this time, they should know that I can take care of-" Makarov interrupts Sasuke by putting his hand up. "I'm sure they do, but that doesn't change the fact that they care about you, myself included." Makarov puts both hands behind his back and sighs.
"Sasuke, you may be strong and skilled, but you are still a child." Makarov states, Sasuke narrows his eyes and crosses his arms. "So are you saying that Laxus is a child despite being 16 years old and practically an adult."
"Don't bring Laxus into this you brat!" Makarov shouts, flailing his arms. "Fine, fine I won't. But I'd prefer if everyone stopped looking at me as if I'm going to break at any moment. Just because I got hurt once doesn't mean it's the end of the world, so can it go back to how it used to be." Sasuke asks.
"You have a point, however it isn't because you got hurt. It's because you shrugged it off like it was nothing, Wakaba said you didn't even have the slightest hint of pain. Nobody should react like nothing is wrong with that type of injury, especially a child your age." Makarov states, Sasuke turns his back towards the master his hands in his pockets. "I've told you all that I've had worse so why don't you all just mind your own business." He then walks away leaving the guild master to his thoughts.
