Many centuries ago; before the reign of the Dragon Civil War, in a faraway continent, there was a sacred tree that bore a fruit that contained a special type of ethernano known as Chakra. A giant war was raging all over this vast continent at the time, with many causalities and senseless bloodshed, battle raging all day and night with no rest for either side of the war.
That was until a princess with two horn-like appendages stuck out of her long light colored hair came across the sacred tree and consumed its fruit; after that, she used her newfound abilities to ultimately stop the war at all sides. However, many years later, the tree became angered of how the princess stole and ate its fruit so it manifested itself into a monstrous ten-tailed sapient to reclaim its stolen power until the princess' sons confronted it and sealed it away within themselves. As the brothers took their own respective paths on how to teach people to control their chakra in order to connect with one and another, one of those brothers came across the continent of Fiore and witnessed the aftermath of the Dragon Civil War which was the birth of the Black Dragon known as Acnologia.
After seeing the dragon fly off, the brother decided to remain in Fiore to continue spreading his teachings to the survivors of the war to establish a balance of peace for non-talented humans and dragons alike; from those teachings, he was given the title: "The Sage of the Six Paths". Eventually, he split the essence of the beast inside him into nine beasts that have tails varying from one to nine tails, starting the trigger to his eventual death. After he created the nine beasts and gave them their individual names; he then removed what was left of the ten-tailed sapient from inside him and sealed it away inside a giant formation of rocks that eventually became the moon when it was hurled into Fiore's orbit.
July X765,
In the village of Konoha within another part of Fiore; the current leader (known as "Hokage") of the village, Minato Namikaze, who is also one of the Ten Wizard Saints of Fiore known by the title: "The Yellow Flash", is currently reading a small orange novel with the words "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" entitled on the book. As he gets even further into the novel, he is snapped out of his trance by a pat to his shoulder and joyous laughter not far from his ear.
"So I see that you've taken quite an interest in my latest novel," a strong male voice said soon after the laughter instantly stopped, "Although, it didn't get that much sellers as I've hoped for."
Minato turns his head around to see his teacher: A tall man with spiky white hair tied in a ponytail, leaving only two shoulder-length bangs frame the sides of his face. He also has two red lines that run down from his eyes to his cheeks while wearing a horned forehead protector with a short green kimono shirt and pants under a red haori with two circles in the front of it. He also has mesh armor underneath the kimono while he also wears hand guards and wooden sandals on his hands and feet respectively.
"What are you talking about, Jiraiya-sensei?" Minato replied back with a smile as he closes the novel to look directly at his teacher, "I thought it was actually a great masterpiece, worthy of the praise it really deserves."
"Come now, you're just flattering me to help me up from my fluke, Minato." Jiraiya says as he takes a seat in front of the young man.
"Not at all," Minato stated, "When I read every page of this book, I'm always imagining myself in the main character's footsteps as he continues to face all of the confrontations and battles he gets himself into his travels. It also makes me think that it was also inspire from your travels as well, sensei."
Jiraiya's face shows off a giant joyous grin as he hears all of the praise his student is giving his novel to, but what really caught him off-guard was the incoming words Minato is about to say to him:
"Which is why, with your permission, I would like to name my unborn son after the main character of this inspiring tale."
Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock at his student's request as he can hear his own heart beat from the modest and honest flattery he just received from his student but his heart begins to calm down slowly as Jiraiya begins to reply back.
"Wait, are you sure about this?" Jiraiya questioned, shockingly while waving an embarrassed gesture with his hands, "After all, I just came up with the name while eating ramen," He finished saying with his hands in a chopstick-holding position for eating noodles.
"Naruto... I think it's a wonderful name."
Jiraiya looks behind Minato and straight into the opening to the kitchen as a fiery red-haired woman stepped out of the opening and stood beside Minato as one of her hands rests on top of Minato's shoulder.
"Kushina..." Jiraiya managed to say as the aforementioned woman uses her open hand to rub her bulged stomach, evidently showing the progression of her pregnancy.
"Criminy, then that would make me his godfather, but are you two really sure about this?" Jiraiya excitedly questioned back as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Of course," Minato joyfully says, "You are my sensei; there's no other man who possesses the true talents of a ninja and a mage like yourself."
October 10th X765,
At a chasm outside of Konoha, a young man with short messy black hair dressed in a black high-collared robe with golden trims and a large flowing white toga slowly approaches the rocky chasm with a sadden look as he hears the agonizing and painful screams of a woman within the chasm which sets off a stream of tears to drip down the man's face.
"Despite the anticipation of a new life entering this world, these people won't be living for much longer," the man emotionlessly says to himself as the tears keep dripping down on his face.
A swoosh was made from the rustling of the tree leaves as several kunai were projected towards the young man but they instantly disintegrated just as the metal knifes have reached only a few inches from him. Moments later, several masked men wearing gray flak jackets, black clothing, metal arm guards/gloves, ninja sandals, ninja pouches on their back-waist and swords strapped to their backs appear nearby the man as they all take out their swords.
"Who are you and how did you find this place?" One of the masked men said to the man, wielding his sword in a cautious manner, as the latter looks shocked at their appearance.
All of them dash towards the man when a strange black aura begins to surround the strange man as he begins to panic frantically which causes him to stop crying.
"NO, don't! Stay ba-"
But it was too late; when the men took note of the strange aura surrounding their target, they were already in close proximity and thus they were engulfed by the dark aura, causing them to drop their swords as their skin begins to rot and all of them collapse onto the ground, dead at the man's feet soon after the black aura vanished from the man's presence.
"Why does this always have to happen!? Is taking innocent life by force the only thing my magic knows what to do!?" The man began to shout to himself in agony until suddenly he hears a muted roar in the distance and he looks up to the skies, his eyes changed into the color of blood-red and acquired a black ring in them.
"There's not much time left," the man thought to himself in a serious manner, "Soon, he'll come and he'll destroy this village..."
In the night skies not too far from Konoha, a gargantuan black dragon with small round eyes, a pale gray underbelly, upward-tilted appendages on its head, and strange blue markings all over its body flies above the dark skies, blending in the environment too well as it sets its eyes on the village ahead.
"The Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, Acnologia..."
End of Chapter
After reading so many of good and bad crossovers of Fairy Tail and Naruto, I've decided to take a shot at it after having a sort of idea ready in my head. So, please leave a review so I can know how this story goes so I can find ways to expand onto this story.
Thank you for reading.
