Hello all Storm here with a new story and it's another story where the main character is Naruto/Naruko! Instead it'll be another character that'll have the spotlight. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

"AH!"

"Huh?" Said a young man, who was lying on the ground, before sitting up at hearing someone scream.

The young man was wearing high-collared black robes with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso. He also has short black hair, dark eyes, and abnormally sharp canines. Along with wearing a pendant around his neck.

This was the legendary and feared Black Wizard, Zeref, his true name being Zeref Dragneel.

At the moment, Zeref was within Tenrou Island, having isolated himself from the rest of humanity, so that he didn't hurt anyone with his dangerous magic. While it did get lonely and his magic would occasionally burst out of him, killing anything and everything around him, after four hundred years he's gotten used to being alone. Now he was simply waiting for the day he can finally die, or he can initiate his plan to fix his mistakes.

But his isolation was interrupted when he heard someone scream.

This was strange, as the only people who should come here are members of Fairy Tail, and as far as Zeref knew, no one should be here besides him. While worried of this person stumbling on him and being killed by his magic, Zeref was also curious of who was here.

Spreading out his senses, Zeref located the person and went to go see who it was. Though one thing he noticed about this person, was the fact that he couldn't sense any magic in them at all, but they did possess some form of power.

'So that rules out them being from Edolas.' Thought Zeref, believing that this person is possibly from another world.

Once he arrived at the location, the Black Wizard raised a brow when rather than seeing someone who would intentionally come here, he saw a little seven-year-old girl with long blue-tinted black hair, pale skin, jet black eyes, wearing a black shirt and white shorts. Next to the girl was a large scroll with a red and white fan symbol on it.

'Okay, not what I was expecting. Either the girl accidently sent herself here, or someone sent her here.' Zeref theorized as he watched the girl get up and dust herself off, while hearing curse under her breath.

"Kami damnit, that old bastard couldn't give me warning when he suddenly threw me to some random dimension. If I ever see that vampiric asshole again, I'm gonna neuter him." The girl said, as the pieces slowly came together in Zeref's head as to just who sent her here.

'Zelretch.' Zeref thought in resignation, now knowing why and how the girl was here.

He recalled his own encounters with the Old Man of the Jewels, given his long four hundred years, and Zeref could say that he'd never met anyone as powerful, or as eccentric, as Zelretch; despite how old he is and most of his power being diminished. He had knowledge of magics even Zeref had dismissed as myths, the power to travel to alternate realities, powerful enough to stop a mirror image of the moon with pure force and being immortal. Not to mention his Jewel Sword.

It had definitely been an interesting experience for the Black Wizard when he first encountered Kaleidoscope, and even learning about alternate versions of himself.

And now it appears that this girl has caught the old man's attention, if he took her from her dimension and sent her to Earthland. This only increased Zeref's curiosity as to who this girl is, as she just became affiliated with Zelretch.

'If nothing else, perhaps she can aid me in my plans, or even one day be powerful enough to kill me.' Zeref thought as he stepped out of his hiding place and approached the girl.

"So, you have encountered Zelretch as well." Zeref stated, getting the girls attention as her head snapped towards him.

Zeref only became more curious when the girls eyes turned from black to crimson red with a single tomoe circling each pupil.

'Curiouser and curiouser.' Zeref thought as the girl looked at him warily.

"Yeah, Zelretch approached me after… some things happened." The girl said with her head lowered in sadness, causing Zeref to nod and not pry further, seeing that it's a private matter.

"Well if you don't mind me asking, what's your name and what exactly made Zelretch interested in you, enough to send you to another dimension, like Earthland?" Zeref asked, with the girl looking up at him.

"Satsuki Uchiha. And as for what I did, I didn't really do anything he, and I quote, 'got bored watching all the different blonde brats, despite my fondness of them, and wanted to try something new'. After that, he gave me this scroll, wished me luck, and now here I am. He also said I reminded him of another student of his, Tohsaka something." Satsuki said.

'Yeah, that'd do it.' Zeref thought, knowing that was something the Kaleidoscope would do, taking someone from their dimension just for entertainment.

Satsuki, meanwhile, was reviewing everything that's happened since, that night, the night her brother Itachi massacred their clan.

It had started the night after the massacred, with Satsuki waking up in her hospital room. That's when Zelretch had appeared out of nowhere and told her the truth of the massacred, that Itachi hadn't done it to test his power, but because her clan was planning a Coup.

At first Satsuki denied that her clan would ever betray Konoha, that is until Zelretch showed her truth; the secret meetings, Itachi and Shisui acting as spies, Shisui's death and giving Itachi his eye, and finally Itachi agreeing to massacre the Uchiha, as long as Satsuki was spared.

After that Zelretch offered Satsuki the chance to become his student/assistant, which Satsuki immediately agreed to having no desire to remain in Konoha after what she learned. He had then given her the scroll filled with dozens of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Kenjutsu styles, and Genjutsu. He had also given her the eyes of an Itachi from a different timeline and sealed them on her person, so she can implant them after she gains the Mangekyō Sharingan, granting her the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan once she does.

Once all of that was done, he sent her here without an explanation or even told her where he was sending her. It was annoying for the Uchiha at suddenly being sent to a random dimension without even a hint of what to expect.

Now here she was with this stranger that also encountered Zelretch in this dimension, that's apparently called Earthland.

"Well, since you don't know anything about Earthland, or even where you are, I could teach about this world if you want." Zeref offered, with Satsuki narrowing her eyes suspiciously at the Black Wizard.

"And why would you do that? What would you get out of it?" Satsuki questioned, not expecting that he was doing it to be kind, especially if he knew who Zelretch was also.

"Call it me wanting to sate my curiosity or an investment to ask for a favor in the future, should our paths cross again. Either way, your options are limited, considering we're on an island in the middle of the ocean, and you don't know where or how far the nearest land is." Zeref said with a shrug, not really caring if she took his offer or not.

If she agreed, then he'll gain a useful asset in the future, and if not, then nothing would really change about his goals.

That made Satsuki mentally curse, if she had been on the mainland, it wouldn't be an issue to find a town or city and go to a library to read up on the world. But being trapped on an island made things much more difficult, especially if she had no idea which direction was land.

It made the Uchiha believe that Zelretch purposefully sent her to this specific island just to meet this guy.

Looking at the stranger, Satsuki nodded in agreement to his offer. While she didn't like the idea of being indebted to this guy, or not knowing what favor he would ask of her, she knew nothing of this world, and it'd be foolish to go out into a world she knew nothing about.

"Alright. Given the fact you don't seem to have magic, I'll only be able to teach you about the basics of Earthland, such as the geography, the major cities and towns, and other such things. But given the size of that scroll, I take you can handle your own combat training." Zeref stated, with Satsuki nodding.

"Okay then let's begin. Also, my name is Zeref Dragneel." Introduced Zeref, before they went to start their first lesson.

*Timeskip-Ten Years*

Ten years have passed since Satsuki arrived on Earthland and was taken under Zeref's wing.

For the first five years, Satsuki remained on Tenrou Island, learning about Earthland under Zeref, along with training in everything in the scroll that Zelretch gave her. There had been dozens of Jutsu to learn, mostly consisting of Fire and Lightning, her main elements, and a couple Wind, Water, and Earth Jutsu. Most of the Fire Jutsu she recognized from her clan's Jutsu Library, even the ones created by Madara Uchiha himself, while there were a few Lightning Jutsu she didn't recognize, making her believe they were ones Zelretch took from alternate timelines.

She had been able to fully master everything in the scroll over the years, thanks to the use of the Shadow Clone Jutsu and her Sharingan. Though she couldn't create hundreds of Clones, she could at the time create six, with the number growing as his Chakra pools grew over the years, and with the help of getting near perfect Chakra Control.

After five years, she had parted ways with Zeref and traveled to the mainland, it was there she had met Zelretch again. He hadn't stayed long, only just sticking around long enough to congratulate her on completing her training and giving her the Sword of Kusanagi, a double-edged jian sword. It had been surprising to see the legendary sword, when she asked Zelretch how he got it, he simply shrugged and said he got it from one of the alternate "blonde brats" that owed him a favor.

Zelretch left after that, where he went, Satsuki didn't know; and frankly, she didn't want to know what he did in his free time.

So, for the next five years, Satsuki has worked as a bounty hunter/mercenary, either hunting down and exterminating Dark Guilds, collecting bounties or taking jobs; most of which being ones that Legal Guilds wouldn't take. This unfortunately, put her at odds with the Magic Council, who mistook her Jutsu for Magic, given a number of the jobs she took involved killing people, which they have forbidden, unless a situation called for it.

Currently, Satsuki was walking through Hargeon Town, drawing several looks from several men and a few women.

Over the years, Satsuki had grown into a stunningly beautiful woman with a toned and curvaceous figure, with her hair having grown down to her waist with her bangs framing her face, which was similar to her own mother's. Her outfit consisted of a shallow cut black and red dress that had the Uchiha Clan symbol on the back, with black shorts underneath, as well as having a series of beaded necklaces and a belt that's wrapped around her waist. Attached to it, is a long black object that is either fur or feathers, with a red and white bandana material like hanging from behind her. Her forearms bore red armored gauntlets that protrude outwards and solid black gloves, while also having a storage seal on her right wrist, containing the Kusanagi. She also wore black mid-thigh high leggings and black heels with red soles.

She had grown used to people looking at her and learned to ignore it, but anyone who tried laying a hand her was quickly relieved of said hand.

She also owned a white full-face mask with red marking and red and black eyes, along with a black cloak, which she swore to hide her identity, either that or using Genjutsu to wipe the memories of anyone who sees her face.

The Magic Council had even created a nickname for her after getting a description of her mask.

Nevermore.

As for why Satsuki in Hargeon, she was hunting another bounty to eliminate a group of slavers, with their leader impersonating Fairy Tail's Salamander, Natsu Dragneel.

Satsuki's attention was pulled to a group of girls running off and talking about meeting "Salamander".

Seeing this, the Uchiha followed the crowd and didn't take long before she arrived at a crowded park, with a large group of girls surrounding some guy with some flashy rings on his hand.

'Charm Magic.' Thought Satsuki, scowling when she realized what was happening.

Without hesitating, Satsuki disappeared in a flash of speed, and before he could react, she buried her fist into the fraud's stomach hard enough to knock him out. She then grabbed the Charm Rings off his hand and crushed them, dispelling the control he had over the crowd.

Normally she'd just kill her targets, but this guy was lucky that his bounty was higher if he was brought in alive. Plus, given the size of the crowd, Satsuki doubted she'd be able to wipe everyone's memory of her face before someone managed to escape.

Better to simply knock him out and not expose herself.

With the Charm Magic gone, the crowd quickly dispersed, while being confused of what happened. All while Satsuki created a Shadow Clone to take the slaver away to the nearby Bounty Station, along with placing a Paralysis Seal on him, so he couldn't escape.

'And that takes care of that.' Satsuki thought, while preparing to leave town, since her business here was finished.

However, before she could leave, she was stopped by someone calling out to her.

"Hey wait!"

Looking, Satsuki saw a busty blonde girl running up to her, Satsuki's eyes instantly zeroing in on the keyring she had with a few silver and gold keys.

'A Celestial Spirit Mage.' Satsuki thought, having learned about the different types of Magic and Mages from Zeref

While Satsuki couldn't use Magic, it'd still be useful to know about what types there are and how to counter them.

"Yes?" Satsuki asked, wondering what the girl wanted.

"I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of that guy, I hadn't realized he was using Charm Magic." The girl said.

"It's fine, no thanks are needed." Satsuki replied, since she had been hunting the guy anyway, it was just a happy accident that she found him like this.

"Still, I wanna make it up to you. How about I pay for lunch for us both." Offered the girl, wanting to repay Satsuki for helping her and all those other girls.

Satsuki considered the offer for a moment, before nodding since it's been a while since she ate something she didn't hunt and kill.

"Great come on, I think I saw a restaurant this way." The girl said with a smile.

But before they could move, they were stopped when a pink-haired teen and a flying blue cat came running towards them with a large grin.

"IGNEEL!" The teen shouted, only to stop and look around in confusion when he didn't see anyone around, except Satsuki and the blonde girl.

"Hey, where's Salamander?" The teen asked in confusion, when he didn't see who he was looking for, with Satsuki recognizing him as the real Salamander.

"It wasn't the real Salamander, just some slaver impersonating Fairy Tail's Salamander, Natsu Dragneel. I've already dealt with him." Satsuki revealed, much to Natsu's surprise and angered that someone had been impersonating him and dragging Fairy Tail's name through the mud like that.

But he was also depressed that it was another dead end in trying to locate Igneel.

"Thank you for dealing with that guy." Natsu said after a collecting himself and headed back to the station to go back to Magnolia, with Satsuki watching him with a critical look in her eyes.

'So, that's Zeref's little brother and the strongest of his demons, Etherious Natsu Dragneel. Not what I was expecting.' Satsuki thought to herself.

Then again, aside from being a little warped from the Contradictory Curse and being alive for over four hundred years, Zeref wasn't exactly the feared Black Wizard people believed him to be. At least, when he cares about life anyway.

*Later*

Once they had arrived at the restaurant, Satsuki and Lucy, who the Uchiha learned was the blonde's name, sat down and ordered their food. Satsuki getting a bowl of udon and some omusubi filled with tomatoes and okaka.

"So, I noticed you have Celestial Spirit Keys. Do you just collect them or are you a Mage?" Satsuki asked, knowing some people would just collect rare Magical artifacts, but not use them.

"I'm Mage and hoping to one day join a guild. Though it's my dream to join Fairy Tail. What about you, Satsuki, are you a member of a guild?" Lucy asked, assuming Satsuki was here on a guild job to take care of the fake Salamander.

"No, I'm a Bounty Hunter/Mercenary. I was just collecting his bounty, and he was just lucky he was worth more alive." Satsuki answered, not seeing any problem in revealing her profession, given it'd only be a problem if Lucy found out she was Nevermore.

And if need be, she could always erase her memories.

Lucy gulped at hearing Satsuki's profession, knowing being a bounty hunter and mercenary meant she has killed before. But she didn't really freak out, given she could tell Satsuki is a good person and wasn't evil, she simply did her job.

After a while, the girls finished eating, with Lucy paying the bill since it was her treat and prepared to part ways.

"Thanks for the food and good luck in joining Fairy Tail." Satsuki said, before preparing to leave, but stopped when she saw Lucy's downcast expression.

"What is it?" Questioned Satsuki.

"Nothing, it's just…" Lucy trailed off.

While Lucy was confident in her skills and in her Spirits, Fairy Tail was also the number one ranked guild and the strongest one Fiore, with it most likely being filled with Mages that are just as strong. She's sure they'd have high standard of who joins the guild, and after seeing how quickly Satsuki took out the fake Salamander, while everyone else, Lucy included, was put under his Charm Magic. If anything, Satsuki seemed more fit to join Fairy Tail than her.

"Do you think I'd be able to travel with you for a while?" Lucy asked, with Satsuki raising a brow in surprise at the question.

"Why?" Satsuki questioned, given her profession isn't exactly the safest, not to mention the Magic Council being after her persona of Nevermore.

"Because I want to get stronger, strong enough that when I finally join Fairy Tail, I can say that I do deserve to be a member of the strongest guild." Lucy said, determined to prove that she has what it takes to join Fairy Tail, but first she needs to get stronger.

Satsuki thought it over for a few moments, before deciding to let Lucy join her, given it did sometimes get lonely traveling by herself and it'd be good to have some company. Besides maybe it'll help Satsuki decide what she wants to do and find a purpose.

If you had asked her before she met Zelretch, Satsuki would have said her goal is to kill Itachi and avenge her clan. But now, she knew the truth and while she could never forgive Itachi for choosing the village over his family, even if he did it so she could live, she doubts she'd be able to really kill him. Honestly, the only real goal she had was to become stronger, never wanting to feel helpless like that night, which is why she became a Bounty Hunter/Mercenary. Plus, she also felt that it would help her find a purpose, given all the traveling she'll be able to do as a Bounty Hunter/Mercenary.

"Yeah, you can come." Satsuki said with a small smile, which Lucy returned.

With that, both girls left Hargeon to new and unknown adventures.

So, what did you think, good. Yep, this time I'm doing a story with Satsuki as the main character and she is now affiliated with Zelretch himself, who has gotten bored watching alternate versions of Naruto and has decided to mix things up by putting his focus on Satsuki. Now after arriving on Earthland and learning about this new dimension from Zeref, Satsuki has become a Bounty Hunter/Mercenary and now is being accompanied by Lucy! How will this effect the land of Fiore, what adventures will they go on, you'll just have to stay tuned for the next chapter! So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
