THE TRANSCENDENT

AUTHOR: SAMNAMIKAZE23

THE DAY THE SKY OPENED

Crocus, the capital of the Kingdom Fiore. It resided in a vast valley, surrounded by Rocky Mountains, and had a small river not far from it. Being the capital of the Kingdom, Crocus was the largest town of the Kingdom.

The Capital really was one of wonder as it held all the beauty required of a location to hold Mecurius, the King of Fiore's Palace. On the mountains to the west, and on a large cylindrical stone formation, was the arena for the Great Magic Games; the Domus Flau.

But any hope to sight-see at this moment was halted as currently, Fiore had to band together to oust a threat, who decided to conquer the world with a number of Dragons. Future Rouge's attempt to cause destruction while controlling a group of dragons through the Eclipse gate was halted.

"Not one of them could slay a Dragon." Mavis looked forward, observing the shut gates of Eclipse. That's the least of my worries.

Seemingly disturbed by another anomaly, her eyes shifted to the skies, frowning while observing the thundering clouds. Most people would have disregarded it, simply seeing it as the work of nature, but she thought otherwise.

"Fire breath!"

"Stupid stripper!"

Makarov ignored the commotion that was happening in front of him. He could also feel it, the tension and pressure surrounding the atmosphere. He looked to the skies as it crackled, seemingly pregnant with rain – which was strange, because rain never fell right around this time. He frowned, looking down to the ground, a hum escaped his lips as he noted the slight levitation of certain particles of debris.

A grim thought went through his mind. I can feel a bad omen.

Mavis shifted her pupils to Makarov, noting his worried gaze. "You can feel it, can't you, Makarov?" She asked, a frown emerging on her face. This was serious, possibly worse than what they had just encountered.

"Yea." Makarov replied. "Something's coming, something big. This threat… is greater than what we just faced. I have a bad feeling about this, First."

Ultear kept walking away after her farewell, observed by Wendy who looked at her from the distance, tears flowing down freely from her eyes. Ultear. Ultear looked to the skies, feeling an impending tremor.

The sky shook again in response to the thunderous sound that rippled across the earth. This time it caught the attention of the mages in that vicinity. They looked upwards, the skies lighting up briefly before calming down.

And just when it was silent, a huge concentration of energy washed over the area, prompting varied looks from the mages below.

Fear, astonishment, and nervousness; those were the valid descriptions to the phenomena they were witnessing.

The most common expression though, was that of shock. The color of the sky changed, illuminated in gold and orange; a beautiful sight, but, also a precedent for something tumultuous. Slowly, larger amounts of debris began to rise to the atmosphere, against gravity. Laxus being the first to recover, looked around.

"What was that?!" Laxus looked to his master, his thunder tribe behind him, looks of nervousness on their faces. Just what was that?

Makarov stamped his foot to the earth, a stern expression on his face. "I don't know, but everyone, brace yourselves!"

Natsu looked absolutely stunned, unable to move. He felt his heart reach his throat, gulping unconsciously while he felt pure power from whatever that was. Lucy looked up, her body trembling in fright.

That power… is greater than that of Acnologia. Gildarts muttered as he clenched his fist. This is bad.

He pondered on the occurrences as a figure landed behind Makarov, making Makarov quickly turn back, widening his eyes in recognition. If he was here, then his fears were about to be confirmed.

"Mystogan." Makarov muttered, his eyes narrowing. Mystogan's arrival prompted shocked reactions from the mages surrounding him.

"Mystogan!" Wendy called out in joy, moving forward to see him clearer.

"Wendy." He smiled at her, nodding in recognition. "Unfortunately, we have no time to reminisce." Mystogan spoke quickly, quieting them immediately.

"That's the real Mystogan huh." Sting commented prompting a nod from Rogue.

"He's one of Fairy Tail's powerful members, or was."

"What's wrong Mystogan? Does your arrival have anything to do with that?" Erza asked gesturing to the sky keeping her gaze on him. Mira who was beside her looked in worry.

"I was in the palace when I felt it so I rushed to get here as soon as possible, after I had deduced what was happening."

"What are you talking about?" Natsu asked, with Gray noticed to be beside him. Behind them was Juvia and Gajeel, the former Phantom Mages staying quiet, and absorbing the new information.

"Before Edolas, you remember I usually worked at trying to close the anima that kept trying to steal magic power from here."

Makarov nodded, prompting him to continue. "I usually tracked it by sensing an energy spike that it emitted when my father tried to open it."

"Anima?" Sting asked as he and Rogue both had the same expression.

"Not now." Mystogan replied before resuming. "As I was saying, I was overlooking a plan for an establishment when I felt a similar energy. Initially, I thought it was someone who still stuck to my father's ideals and went to reactivate it. That was before I went and found it not touched."

"You don't mean?" Gildarts put two and two together.

Mystogan nodded looking to the trembling skies "I don't know how, but another world unlike ours is connecting to Earthland, and from what I am feeling, they would not be friendly. This has been occurring since yesterday, though at a slow rate. Now, our dimension is just unstable."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Sting asked, totally not understanding what was going on.

Erza frowned. "Just when we took care of one problem, another arises. Master, what do you suggest?" Erza turned to Makarov who was deep in thought.

"We must brace ourselves. It wasn't funny when we were invaded last time, though, we contained it. This time though we aren't going to stop this ourselves alone." He mused. "It might be due to the portal Future Rogue opened that weakened our dimension."

"That's a probability."

"I think the main problem is…" Lucy spoke as she pointed up. This prompted Makarov to look back to the skies, a grimace on his face. "If they are not friendly, how do we deal with someone that powerful? This is going to be another wide scale battle, and most of us are exhausted."

Silence went through while the mages pondered at Lucy's words. Laxus then scoffed, folding his arms. "For all we know, it might be just a spike of energy. Nothing else."

Makarov smirked a bit. This magic signature. This makes me relax a little. He chuckled a bit to the confusion of the surrounding mages.

Suddenly, three figures landed on the battle field to the astonishment of the entire mages in the vicinity. A voluminous amount of dust was emitted to the atmosphere, enveloping them. The wind pulsed through the area, slowly dispersing the dust. The three individuals were revealed.

"Isn't that-?" Gray looked on an astonishment.

"The Saints of Ishgar." Mavis spoke smiling at a familiar sight. "Warrod Sequen, Hyberion and Wolfheim."

The three individuals looked to the skies. Warrod asked looking at the mages before him. "From your reactions I can say conclusively that you could feel it. couldn't you?"

Wolfheim scowled, looking up with a frown on his face, "This is no small deal."

Laxus frowned. For them to be here.

"Warrod, Hyberion, Wolfheim. How glad am I to see you, and not arguing." Makarov spoke walking towards his comrades.

"We don't have time for any of that after what we just sensed." Wolfheim spoke, his deep voice rippling through.

"I don't see Serena" Makarov spoke with an eyebrow.

"We'll have to discuss about that later" Warrod spoke with a frown.

"So." Makarov asked, gesturing to the skies. "What do you think?"

"All I can say, is that this would not be easy." Warrod spoke looking to the trembling skies.

"Not when you have the backing of all the guilds Warrod-san." Warrod turned to see Goldmine with a smile with most of the Light guild masters in Fiore. They looked prepared as their guild members all stood behind them ready to fight.

I hope that's enough. Hyberion thought grimly. They all looked to the skies, watching it drum with power wondering just what was happening on the other world.

Fiore was going to experience the unwelcome visit of another world and they hoped it was not antagonistic.

ELEMENTAL NATIONS

Shockwaves resonated through the skies as two blurs clashed to the awe of few. Kakashi looked up, observing the battle. Sakura was seen, looking down in tears; she wept, cradling an unmoving Sasuke Uchiha, whose eyes were shut.

Kakashi spoke. "Sakura, compose yourself. Let us mourn for Sasuke later. Right now you should be thinking, of what Naruto is feeling right now."

Sakura shifted her tired eyes to the skies, watching a collision ripple the very atmosphere, creating cracks in the air. The cracks realigned, before emitting a tremendous air quake that destroyed the mountain the two powerhouses were on.

Naruto. Sakura thought on, hopeful expression on her face.

'RARGH!' Naruto sent forth a Black Rasenshuriken courtesy of the black flames of Amaterasu, towards an irritated Madara. The Uchiha willed a Truth Seeking Ball to create a shield that blocked the assault. The collision was immense, the two attacks struggled against each other, trying to destroy each other.

Courtesy of the Black Flames, which were searing hot, the shield began to melt slightly. Naruto clicked his teeth in annoyance while in his Six Paths Mode. He dashed through the resulting explosion to channel a Sage Chakra enhanced punch that shattered the barrier, dissipating the flames and continued straight to connect with Madara's chest to the latter's shock. Madara was sent to the floor in a tremendous shockwave.

'ACK' Madara spat out blood as he collided with the earth, emitting a voluminous amount of dust to the skies. Gritting his teeth, he looked up immediately to see Naruto coming down with a huge black Rasengan.

"Shit!"

Zenith!

Naruto roared, sending the Rasengan crashing into the earth, a huge shockwave being the result. The attack was so powerful it crumbled the earth it came in contact with. The technique proceeded, creating a wide crater so deep that its bottom could not be seen in the airy night. The rage behind the technique was felt as the effect rippled through the battlefield.

The air was completely saturated with power, showing that the arena of the battle was heavily coated with the energies of the two combatants.

This battle was changing the atmosphere, and the entire landscape was being reshaped permanently.

Naruto flew out of the crater slowly looking forward to a grinning Madara who escaped unharmed. The wind pulsed through them as Madara's unnaturally long hair flowed in accordance with the wind. Naruto's hair remained the same, although coated by the illuminating effect of his power, it gained a golden hue.

His normal tanned skin was pure gold coated effectively by the sage's power. His attire then began to change slowly; from a Golden Six Paths Mode to pure white – the Sage of Six Paths mode. A white aura was seen encasing his entire body as his hair slowly became white to Naruto's ignorance.

Tch. Naruto clicked his teeth in annoyance and anger noting that Madara had survived his onslaught.

"I can't believe it! You are the most powerful opponent I have ever faced in my life." Madara praised with condensation. "Even Hashirama couldn't compare to this." He looked to his palm maniacally. "This is magnificent! And to think all it had to take was the death of Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Is that so?" Naruto muttered, descending slowly to the floor. The earth trembled at the rage riveting through Naruto.

Cracks slowly spread, and deepened, until the earth couldn't house his power anymore. It caved in considerably, as Naruto sent Madara away at a tremendous speed with a punch so concussive, it broke the sound barrier in a huge 'CLAP' sound.

"I will kill you, Madara!" Naruto spoke with nothing but mirth. His killing intent doubled, washing over the entire land. His chakra increased to unsurmountable heights, as he flew vengefully after Madara.

Madara was sent flying backwards through the air, before he quickly recovered, willing a Truth seeking ball to create a platform which slowed him down before he rotated his jaw. Grunting, he could see a white dot approaching. He smirked, morphing his fingers to make a 'ram' sign.

Divine Art: End.

Naruto's sage eyes narrowed as his view of Madara was blocked by a huge wall of earth that rose up from the ground, stretching to the skies. He looked around in alarm as instantaneously, he was encased, as four slabs encased him in a cubic barrier. Runic inscriptions were shown on them.

Behest of the Lightning Divinities!

A huge bolt of lightning, considerably greater than Sasuke's Kirin blasted down from the heavens to Naruto's impassive gaze. It struck down with power, destroying the cube Naruto was in, and proceeded to envelope everything in a white light.

Madara frowned, before seeing the Lightning being absorbed into Naruto's palm. His eyes then widened after looking into Naruto's eyes; seeing a Rinnegan similar to Sasuke's appear.

W…What?!

With a pulse of chakra, Naruto attracted Madara towards him with an intensive pull of gravity. Madara roared trying to regain his ground. The two Divine-like beings vied for supremacy, willing their chakra to work against each other.

"You will not win this Uzumaki!"

"Shut the hell up!" Naruto roared as the chakra of all the tailed beasts in resonance added more power to the attack.

Madara gritted his teeth in anger and defeat flying towards Naruto. Naruto grinned victoriously and halted the technique, willing Madara to stand still before him in the air. The wind pulsed around Madara, showing his defiance.

The short moment felt like eternity before Naruto just smirked to Madara's resentment. That eye. Was it Sasuke?! He thought in rage as with a flick of Naruto's wrist, he was sent away with a repulsive force that took a chunk of the earth with it.

Madara bounced across the earth, away from Naruto due to the violent repulsive energy imbued in the latter's Shinra Tensei. He rolled a countless amount of times, bouncing along the earth like a rag doll seeming to no end.

Madara stopped rolling on the ground and quickly used the back of his palm to slap away the chunk of earth that attempted to crush him. Looking up in alarm, he saw a huge black mass above him attracting the earth beneath their feet, his eyes widened in recognition.

Planetary Devastation?! That brat!

Madara roared in anger as with the aid of gravity, he was pulled to the shimmering black orb. The rocks completely enveloped him as Naruto rose his palm to the air. "You should be proud Madara! I learnt this one from you!"

A Meteor similar to the one Madara cast on the Shinobi army descended on the huge entrapment of chakra. It proceeded to smash it to the ground, leading to a very huge shockwave that destroyed the foundation of the earth as soon as it collided.

A loud, deafening blast was heard vastly, showcasing the might behind the attack. A huge amount of debris was emitted to the air, blocking the view of Madara's fate from Naruto to assess. Naruto closed his eyes scanning the entire landmass for Madara.

Suddenly, his eyes quickly shifted open, blocking a punch with his palm. The air quaked in effect showing the power behind it. Naruto gritted his teeth in infuriation as Madara smirked.

"Taijutsu was always my forte, Uzumaki!"

With large devastating hits, Madara turned the tides of the battle before using an overhead kick to send Naruto kissing into the earth. Naruto spat out blood as Madara placed his palm on Naruto who was on the ground level.

Almighty Push!

'ACK!'

The earth drastically caved in effect, due to Madara sending Naruto deep into the earth with the familiar technique. Madara's grin increased as he roared again.

Almighty Push!

The crater kept deepening with Madara doubling the amount of chakra used for the previous attack.

ALMIGHTY PUSH!

A huge shockwave filled the elemental Nations as the combined assault made the earth tremble.

"What are they now?" Sakura asked, looking to the distance. Both she and Kakashi's bodies were used to the killing intent after been subjected to it for hours. They watched as huge amounts of dust billowed everywhere. The destruction of the battlefield inevitable.

"I don't know the answer to that." Kakashi spoke, clenching his fist. "I wish I could go and help him, my body is just roaring at me to go… but I cannot. I will just be a nuisance."

"Those are two beings fighting over what course this world will take." A figure spoke behind them to their shock. Turning back, Kakashi saw an old man floating in the air, the most distinguishing feature about him was the horns on his head and his purple eyes. "The Rinnegan?! Who are you?!"

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Your generation know me as the Sage of six paths."

"The Rikudo sennin?" Kakashi asked in wide astonishment. Sakura just smiled mirthlessly. "Nothing is going to surprise me anymore."

The Sage looked to Sasuke, a fond smile on his face. "It seems Sasuke changed over the course of this battle, risking his life for that of Naruto's."

"What do you mean, Rikudo-sama?" Kakashi asked with a great deal of respect.

"When I met both him and Naruto, I activated in them a power that was dormant. The chakra of my two sons; Indra in Sasuke and Ashura in Naruto. I asked Naruto what he wanted to do with the power in his grasp, he spoke as expected." Hagoromo looked to the distance, a smile adorning his features.

"He wanted to protect everyone, didn't he?" Kakashi asked rhetorically

"You know him well." Hagaoromo replied.

"What can I say?" Kakashi replied with a smile, "He was my student"

Hagoromo then looked at Sasuke's unmoving body, a huge hole was later seen on his chest through his heart. "Sasuke, on the other hand wanted to destroy everything, he wanted to erase the concept of shinobi and establish a new world under him; a revolution per say."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke with a forlorn expression. "Him, I could never understand."

"Well seeing as Sasuke protected Naruto at the cost of his life, something must have happened to change his mind set during the course of this battle."

"What about Naruto?" Kakashi asked. "What happens to him?"

"Currently, thanks to Sasuke, Naruto now has the power of both Ashura and Indra in his system, he is if not more powerful like me at this state."

"Can't you go and help him?" Sakura asked.

"I cannot. I am a remnant of my chakra that has simply traversed through time, watching how the world I and my brother Hamura created, had developed over time."

"You have just been watching as your legacy was desecrated?"

That was my thought, until I met him. Hagoromo thought, an image of Naruto riveting through his memories.

"Now, my hopes rests on Naruto to restore the world, to one where individuals from different upbringing can come together, understanding each other in harmony and respect. That has and always will be my goal."

Kakashi looked towards the battlefield commenting. "Madara though, is aiming to destroy all that, aiming to put the world in a dream state, taking away their will and hopes."

"Yes." Hagoromo spoke. "As I said, all hopes rests on Naruto now."

The shockwave calmed down as Madara overlooked the result of his continuous attacks of Almighty Push. He overlooked from the air, pleased as the result was shown. A huge crater bigger than the one Naruto's Zenith Rasengan made was observed, the bottom filled with darkness as its depth was indiscernible.

The earth was seen desecrated completely; fit for a battle of titans. Craters the sizes of villages were seen throughout the land - the might of Naruto and Madara rippling the very atmosphere. The moon glowed in the airy night as dust billowed to the skies.

Naruto coughed out blood as his vision was blurry. His hands were shaking, his body wacked with spasms. Naruto's chakra cloak seemed destabilized as it began to fluctuate. He gritted his teeth in resilience, using his willpower to look outside the crater with determination.

With a roar, he blasted himself from the crater and landed to the ground just outside the huge cavern. Madara looked in amusement as Naruto lost his cloak; he watched his Rinnegan eyes deactivate, leaving the Uzumaki with his sage power only.

Madara then asked as he folded his arms arrogantly. "You are persistent. Why are you against this?! In the Infinite Tsukuyomi, there will be no fighting, no wars, all your dreams come true. So, tell me. Why are you trying to stop me?"

Naruto heaved out as he coughed slightly. He strained a look at Madara. "It's just… not real. You know that don't you?"

Madara looked at Naruto, a frown forming on his face.

"All your power results to this in the end, Naruto." Madara muttered with apathy, looking down at Naruto who looked back at him in defiance. "Thank you for your time but you have to go."

Madara raised his palm in the air, and in effect, all his truth seeking balls fused together, growing into enormous proportions.

"This is the creation of a new dimension Naruto! You will be sealed there since apparently you are as powerful like me."

"Stop! Stop!" Naruto spoke with alarm as Madara smirked, retorting. "Hopeless aren't you? Goodb-"

"I won't let you!"

With a burst of power, Naruto resumed into his cloak flying towards the huge truth seeking ball; and with a humongous use of chakra, created a Tailed BeastRasenshuriken that was imbued with the chakra of all the tailed beasts. Its golden luminescence was seen by a shocked Madara who shouted.

"You Fool! Stop that now!"

Naruto proceeded, unheeding Madara's words. "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH" Naruto roared as it connected with the ball.

The result was an explosion that seemed to be the beginning of an apocalypse. Meteors dropped from the sky all over the world as oceans flooded into the land. Lightning danced as they struck down with unearned fury.

Then to the shock of Naruto and Madara, the space began to bend, creating a huge black hole in the atmosphere, an as a result, everything began to be drawn into it.

Debris, trees and even the mountains surrounding the battlefield began to crumble, drawn and engulfed completely by the void.

"Shit!" Naruto grunted trying to withstand the attraction from the void. Naruto and Madara watched hopelessly as they were pulled into the rift. And as if turned off by a switch, it shut with a bang.

"This is bad" Hagoromo muttered regrettably.

"What is-?" Kakashi began to ask only to be shut off as tremors began to be felt over the elemental Nations. People in the various elemental villages began to run with no direction as earthquakes began to emerge. Lightning danced through the dark skies as it rained down bolts of lightning. Destroying everything in their wake.

People began to be killed like it was a global massacre. Meteors began to fall as the ocean level rose up, flowing into most villages and towns; creating floods, and tsunamis. Hurricanes emerged from thin air destroying numerous lives and properties.

"What is going on?!" Kakashi spoke in alarm, deflecting a bolt of lightning with his Raikiri.

"The world's power was controlled by the Shinju. In simple terms, the Shinju kept balance over the world. When we battled its manifestation as the ten tails, I split its power into the Nine Tailed Beasts. As long as the Tailed Beasts were in this realm, the power balance was kept, but now, everything seems to have gone."

"What do you mean?! Where's Naruto!" Sakura shouted in worry.

"Naruto and Madara created a void in another dimension with their attacks colliding. I don't know if they will even survive."

Kakashi heaved in and out as he began to feel dizzy. "I guess I have reached my limit"

"Kakashi-sensei!"

"What do you suggest we do?!" Sakura spoke out in alarm. She looked ahead to the Sage of six paths.

"Even I don't know what it will result to. My chakra is already beginning to fade out already. It would be a while until it manifests again. So until then, stay alive."

Hagoromo spoke as his body began to fade, before he dissipated into the air. Shards of light scattering in each direction. Kakashi looked far up the horizon as he saw the destruction the world was undergoing; his vision dizzy as he slowly passed out. "I'm at my limit, is this the end?"

Sakura gritted her teeth, a flash of multiple emotions rippling across her face. Her fists were so clenched, blood began to leak out. With a great deal of pain, Sakura just yelled to the air, her voice showcasing all the pain she felt from losing two of her closest friends.

"NARUTO!"

Naruto widened his eyes, looking around. All he saw was darkness, except for the trees and rocks disintegrating to nothingness. He could feel the pressure in the void aiming to crush him to nothingness, but his body resisted it unconsciously.

He sorrowfully looked forward as memories of the entire battle hit him. He and Sasuke got power from the Sage of six paths before they set out to kill Madara.

After fighting for what felt like hours, Madara turned his gaze up to Kakashi and Sakura aiming to kill them. Naruto who was quicker, got before them in time but he couldn't do anything about the huge black spear formed by Madara's Truth Seeking Ball.

He thought it was over for him, there and then, before Sasuke substituted with him, taking the hit. Why it happened he never knew. All he could remember out of Sasuke's last expression was a smile.

Naruto never felt so distraught, he turned his gaze unto Madara and their battle ended to this - them been trapped in a void. He looked forward to see Madara looking at him with spite. "You see what you have done you fool!"

"I did what was necessary, either way, you will die, Madara."

Madara began to chuckle until it grew into a huge laughter. "You think that it's over?! Never! You would never understand the workings of the space-time Ninjutsu!"

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked with a slight alarm gracing his expression.

"As one dimension opens it leads to a ripple effect. What you did will cause one to open also; one with its barrier much weaker than ours. That has always being the law of the universe, we are two powerful beings; the void would never be able to contain our power!"

Naruto's eyes widened as a white light was seen in the distance. "No way."

Madara just kept laughing to the ire of Naruto. "I don't know where we are going, but, I will kill you and take over the land, people or not!"

Madara spat and placed his palm in front of Naruto, a white vortex forming in front of him. Naruto gritted his teeth as he channeled a truth seeking ball to block the attack. The vortex collided as Naruto channeled Kurama's chakra.

No Naruto!Kurama's voice rang out as Naruto couldn't stop himself. His eyes widened at the tone.

W…What?!

"Tch." Madara spoke "You used the beast's chakra." He blinked in surprise, "What?!"

'AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!'

Suddenly, to both of their astonishment, Madara's body began to swell as he screamed in pain. In an instantaneous motion, Madara's body began to latch to Naruto's to the latter's shock and severe pain.

"AAAAAARRRGGGGGH! What the hell is happening, Kurama?!"

You weren't supposed to use chakra in the void! The void is a place of nothingness. Nothing is meant to exist in it; you and Madara caused an anomaly. If that was not enough you activated chakra!

"What are you saying?!"

You are currently fusing with Madara; I don't know which of you will be dominant in the end but you have to get away from here or else you will die here Naruto. Whatever you do, get to that light now!

"NNNNNNGHHHHHH!" Naruto grunted as Madara kept latching on to him. "RARGHHH!"

With a roar, Naruto sent a spike of chakra which sent him spiraling at an intense rate towards the portal. Bursting through the portal, Naruto and Madara's chakra signatures rang like alarm bells, filling the entire land. Trees began to grow at an astonishing rate to the shock of the mages.

"Wood magic" Warrod thought in alarm.

With a resounding shockwave, Naruto together with Madara collided with the earth, shaking it to its very core. A huge dome of chakra emitted from his position as it spread wide, sending any close by mage flying backwards.

"This power!" Laxus growled as he tried to withstand the pressure felt from the fusion, only to be blown away as he kissed the earth multiple times.

The Wizard Saints of Ishgar roared, placing their palms on the floor.

AMATERASU: FORMULA 90: ETERNAL SHIELD!

A golden barrier crept out from the earth blocking the wave of energy.

As if Nature tried to combat the new threat, flaming Meteors dropped from the sky towards Naruto as the mages looked in fear.

"What is happening?!" Mystogan spoke in awe, watching as a wave of energy towards the meteors caused them to be instantaneously shifted away from the intruder and towards the mages.

"Look out!" Makarov growled as Wendy saw a huge burning rock coming at tremendous speeds. Building magic in her lungs, she roared.

Sky Dragon's Roar!

The huge blast of air collided with the rock as it snuffed out just the flames.

"Wendy!" Natsu shouted in alarm, looking behind him as Wendy looked forward in fear. "NATSU!"

The meteor crashed to the earth as most of the mages all panicked in alarm. It created shockwaves through the land as the earth trembled from the collision. "Happy! Carla!"

"They were knocked out!" Gray roared in worry, the earlier spike of energy was too much for them. "The same with Sting and Rouge's exceeds."

More meteors began to fall to the earth as Sting yelled, "ROUGE!"

"Got it"

Quickly entering into their Dragon drive mode they roared

"Light/Shadow Dragon's Roar!"

Two tremendous energy spewed from their lips as they coalesced, colliding with the meteor heading for them, and in a bright illumination, destroyed the rock to various harmless rocks.

"Who the hell is doing this?!" Gajeel roared, looking to the skies - debris crashing down around him.

In a calming motion, the meteors finished crashing to the earth as the dome of chakra receded.

Wendy! Erza thought before she turned to were Naruto landed, a furious expression on her face. Erza quickly equipped into her Flight armor and she flew to where the Individual was.

She stopped right above him, seeing Naruto with his expression hidden by his white hair. She demanded in fury. "Who are you?!"

Naruto was unresponsive as his right hand went to his face, his body blurring for a bit.

Erza gritted her teeth, her full magic spiking, earning a slight movement from Naruto's right hand. "If you wouldn't answer me! I will make you speak! You dare come to my world and attack us! You dare!"

With a burst of speed only traceable by veterans, Erza descended toward Naruto.

"Erza, don't!" Makarov shouted in alarm. Natsu, not caring anymore, blasted fire to the earth as it propelled him to the skies.

"Natsu!" Makarov roared in shock. These children!

Erza reached Naruto's position as she went for a slash before she widened her eyes as Naruto's hand went cleanly through her heart.

SQUELCH!

Silence was felt through the land as every notable mage widened their eyes in horror.

"ERZA!"

Natsu roared in fury and was about to burst forward, when Makarov grabbed him, throwing him away. Natsu collided with the dust heaving a large amount of debris. He burst out from the ground flying towards Naruto before Makarov's shout halted him "Natsu don't! Think! He is dangerous!"

"He stabbed Erza, wouldn't you do something?!"

"Just calm down!" Makarov commanded seriously. "Warrod!"

"Already on it!" Warrod spoke, a stern expression on his face as the earth began to tremble.

Erza landed on her feet, totally stunned. Her pupils slightly shifted to Naruto's arm through her chest. Suddenly Naruto's voice spoke through a hoarse whisper. "You dare lay your Hand on a God, woman?"

Erza muttered through her bloodied lips, noting Naruto looking at her with a smirk, Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan noted to be on his eyes. "You… bastard."

Erza's eyes slowly closed as she slowly went to the ground, lifting a small amount of dust to the air, to the spectating mages horror. A huge mass of tunneling wood collided from above as the energy was being absorbed into Naruto's palm.

"Wood Release? Ho. This world is already interesting." He chuckled in amusement. "Wait… It's Wood Release alright, but, a different energy. Hmm, a peculiar energy."

Warrod quickly roared "Now… Hyberion!"

Before anything could ensue, Naruto raised his palm forward as he muttered. "I don't have time to dance right now. I have an unwilling host you see, but, let me give you a taste of true power."

With the Rinnegan activated, he muttered. Divine Art: Almighty Push.

A humongous propelling force greater than the one Konoha was introduced to by Pain was emitted from Naruto's palm as it sent every mage, backwards; propelling them away from site. A huge crater of barren land was seen, as the capital of Fiore, Crocus was scarred.

In Mecurius, the King of Fiore watched the destruction to the capital with his eyes widened in shock, he looked forward in complete shock as he muttered, noting the chaos happening in the vicinity. "What the hell is happening?"

Naruto dropped his palm to the ground, observing Erza on the ground. "Red huh… Should be amusing."

Fire Dragons Roar!

Viens protruded out of Natsu's head as he spat out a huge mass of fire to Naruto's form. The result was a humongous dome-like explosion of fire as it enveloped Naruto from view.

The fire was absorbed into Naruto's palm, amused chuckles emerging from his lips. "An even more interesting source of magic, it was different from the one used by that old man."

Naruto grinned as he spoke tauntingly. "You do not care for the life of your comrade that you would attack, amusing."

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Natsu roared as he was covered entirely by fire, entering his dragon force mode.

Naruto reacted, a smile of curiosity gracing his features. "Hmm… interesting? But… I have no time to play with you-"

RRRRRAAAARGHHHH!

Natsu went for a punch as he saw his fist closing to Naruto's head then suddenly, he stopped to his shock. He just stayed still as his body was immobilized in the air. "W…What?"

"It's not enough, something is holding your true power from being released. And I will love to fight you when you attain that power, but, for now all you have to do is simple."

Naruto spoke with power as he revealed his two red Mangekyou eyes to a shocked Natsu. Natsu looked into the red abyss.

"Fear!"

Tsukuyomi!

Natsu's expression changed from shock to confusion and fear. Fear was the only thing clouding Naruto's mind as he looked into the eye technique. He dropped to the ground, staring forward and unable to move a muscle; Natsu started speaking incoherently.

"When you find me, come with that power of yours, avenge your comrade."

And with the next gust of wind, Naruto vanished from Crocus, never to be seen again. Natsu stared forward in shock as he didn't even notice, that where Erza once lay, was empty; her whereabouts unknown.

Makarov's vision blurred as he got up, coughing and sneezing from the dust in his nostrils. He was joined by the three guardians of Ishgar who were buried underneath huge piles of debris. They looked in shock at the power that they witnessed.

Wolfheim snarled. "How dare he?! He came into our world and did this!"

"Calm down, Wolfheim." Hyberion spoke calmly his eyes narrowed "Makarov, it seems an enemy has infiltrated us, rather boldly I might add."

"Not only that" Makarov spoke, with a deathly voice, his fist clenching forcefully. "He has one of my children."

'RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!'

Makarov quickly turned to the source of the scream only to shout in alarm. "Natsu!"

Wendy looked up to find herself in the guild. "Wha… I was sure I was going to-"

"I saved you." Wendy turned to find Mest smiling at her panting, his vision blurring.

"Mest-san!" Wendy spoke before shouting "The others! Where are they?"

"I'm teleported most of them to safety."

Wendy looked around the guild to see most of the members, unconscious. Many mages from different guilds were lying on the once Fairy Tail bar.

"They will be waking up soon. Until then, let me sleep." Mest spoke falling unconscious.

Wendy schooled her expression, it was time to get to work.

Ultear looked around to find herself in darkness, her croaked voice echoing through the dark room. "Where am I?!"

"Ultear Milkovich, daughter of Ur Milkovich, acted as an agent for the dark guild Grimoire Heart; the female who actually turned back time to save this world huh, interesting. Though at a cost."

Naruto revealed himself as Ultear looked in fear. "You are him, the intruder. What do you want?!"

"Simple… your cooperation."

Naruto's right palm bearing the sun mark, touched Ultear on her head. Ultear to her shock, saw herself began to revert to her young self. Looking at Naruto in awe she asked.

"Who… are you?"

"Well I believe I have your attention now. Well listen, I am someone who can take the shape of anything, be anywhere at any moment, you wouldn't know when I would be beside you, behind you."

Naruto spoke in a whisper to her ear, "Or right in front of you."

Just as when Naruto retreated, she saw Naruto take her shape as he morphed into an exact copy of her to her awe. Dispelling his transformation, he spoke.

"All I need is valuable information, for some reason your memories don't go deep. Must be because I cannot control these powers yet; the merging has inhibited my control huh. Well you will briefed later, for now sleep; your purpose in my new world will come soon enough."

Ultear went to sleep against her wishes as Naruto closed his eyes going into his mindscape.

The village of Konoha was seen as Naruto walked to the Hokage statues, looking ahead in a frown he saw Madara smiling at him. "You had to spoil my fun didn't you?"

"Madara…" Naruto spoke with his eyes narrowing. He clenched his fist at the arrogant expression on the Uchiha's face.

Madara just smirked. "Just know that you cannot get rid of me, one day I will regain control, and what you witnessed, would be a glimpse to my plans for this ripe Land. Nothing will stand in my way."

Madara spoke as he vanished into the air whispering. "Nothing."

The scene changed. Kurama spoke to Naruto who was on his snout. They were seen at the valley of the End. "So you and Madara are now one huh…"

"Yea." Naruto spoke as he looked to the blue skies. "Kurama, he killed someone, with my hands. Someone who was just protecting her home, and the funny thing is that I feel hardly anything at all. I am worried I am becoming him."

A soft silence rang through the land as Kurama spoke. "Why did you think, Madara took her with him."

Naruto frowned. "Probably to make her into one of his puppets."

"Well, do what you have to do. You are now in possession of the Rinnegan after all, and Naruto?"

Kurama spoke drawing his attention. "Be careful, be always on guard. Madara has made you the target of this world. You may have to get your hands dirty this time."

Naruto chuckled mirthlessly. "I doubt I would have many problems. My thoughts have melded with Madara's. I wouldn't even know which was mine. Thought I would attempt a peaceful resolution with them, I am just tired of war."

"Good. Now let us begin by bringing her back."

"I don't know the Outer Path's techniques. I stupidly wasn't paying attention when Nagato used it."

"Do the next best thing, for now."

"Of course."

Kurama closed his eyes as Naruto left Ultear in the prison. He walked slowly to a flat table, his footsteps echoing as he saw Erza's unmoving naked body, adorned with black spikes and covered with white energy. Suddenly they sank into her body as a heartbeat was heard; Erza's heartbeat.

"Show me the world through your eyes" Naruto muttered, a grim smile on his face. "Awaken… Deva path."

Erza's eyes opened, but instead of the heterochromatic eyes seen, she was spotted with a blood red Rinnegan, similar to the one Naruto had.
