FLASHBACK NO JUTSU

"We need to investigate the Grand Magic Games!" shouted Naruto with a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice. He stood in a large dome room. Far to Naruto's side was a staircase leading to the second floor that looked down into the meeting room. The room was filled with several elegant designs. Flowers of many different sizes and colors were scattered across the room in the finest vases Naruto had ever seen. Right in front of Naruto stood a rectangular table, where several members of the Magic Council sat in cushioned blue armchairs.

Naruto's right eye glanced to his left, and looked down at Makarov. Makarov remained silent, and had a serious look on his face. He looked up at Naruto, and gave him a look of bewilderment. Naruto rolled his eye, and looked over to the council. They had been rambling on about Fairy Tail's return, and in all honesty it had bored Naruto. His purpose in coming to the Magic Council was to discuss the Grand Magic Games, not ridicule his guild.

"What did you say?" asked one of the members.

Naruto looked over to the far side, and looked at an elderly man with white hair and eyepatch. Naruto looked over at the councilman, "I have reason to suspect that there is something going on behind the shadows."

All of a sudden the man sitting at the far end of the rectangular table raised his voice. The man was elderly with long graying hair and a long beard. The man was moderately clad in fitted armor; he had an orate cape draped over his shoulders. He also sported a stereotypical wizard hat.

"You do know what you're saying? The Grand Magic Games is sponsored by the King himself! Are you implying that he may be capable of committing treacherous acts against his own kingdom?" asked Gran Doma.

Naruto looked down the table, and eyed every councilman in the eye. Then he replied, "I'm not implying that the king is responsible, I'm just say-"

"You're saying what?" rudely interrupted one of the councilman.

"Tell us why you make such speculations?"

"I told you this brat was to young to be installed as head of one of our military branches."

Naruto's eye twitched as they slowly started to interrupt him, and began to wander into a completely different topic. Right next to Grand Doma sat a tall, grey-haired elderly man with a considerably long beard, as well as a mustache. The man had pointy ears and constantly kept one of his eyes man wore multiple layers of robes similar to the ones of the other councilmen.

The man leaned forward in his chair, and cleared his throat. Instantly the other councilmen quieted down, and looked over to the man. Then he spoke, "Please allow Naruto to keep talking. We should allow him to speak, he is after all the head of our Reconnaissance and Infiltration Unit."

"I agree," spoke up Gran Doma. He then looked over to Naruto, and gave him a nod, "Continue with your reasoning."

Naruto took a deep sigh, "I don't believe the king is directly responsible, but I have reason to believe that something is going on behind the shadows. Even before I was given the responsibility of Reconnaissance and Infiltration, Crime Sorciere had been inv-"

"Crime Sorciere? You want us to take the word of that traitorous guild?" abruptly asked one of the members."

"SILENCE!" roared Gran Doma. He looked at the other councilman, and then looked over at Naruto, "Continue."

Naruto took another deep breath, and continued, "Crime Sorciere had been investigating the Magic Games for a few years, and have managed to conclude one thing. That during the whole tournament a considerable amount of Magic emitted by participants have completely is not something that should naturally be going Sorciere have attempted to go deeper in their investigations. However, even though they are part of my unit, they aren't recognized by the Magic Council, for obvious reasons. Therefore they are unable to get close to the games."

"So, what are you getting to?" asked Gran Doma as he looked down at Naruto.

"Since my unit is unable to properly investigate the Grand Magic Games, I was hoping for the Magic Council to set forth their own investigation."

Then without a second of hesitation, Gran Doma responded. "Denied."

Naruto's eye flung open, and he slammed his hands onto the table. The table vibrated furiously, and a few cups on the table spilled, "But why not? There is clearly something going on during the games, you need to take action! Dammit, you haven't even looked at the folder I have presented."

"Naruto…" spoke Org as he looked up at Naruto, "Even if we were to declare an investigation we would more than likely be denied by the king. Unless we have solid evidence, we can not take action."

"But Jellal's-"

Org shook his head, "We accepted Jellal into your little unit with one of the conditions being that he have absolutely no formal connection to the Magic we can't present him as evidence. After all he is a traitor to Fiore, he is not significant enough to be presented as solid evidence."

Naruto gritted his teeth, and looked down at the table. Then he gave a sigh, "I understand."

"Lift your head." spoke up Gran Doma. Naruto looked up, and looked across the table. He stared into Doma's eyes.

Then Grand Doma said, "Now let us talk with your encounter with Tartaros."

"Tartaros?"

The voice came to Naruto's right side, and he spun his head to the side. He had completely forgotten about Makarov. He had remained silent during the entire debate.

"Oh, Makarov I forgot about you there. Hmm, we have finished talking with your guild's return, so we must ask you to leave." spoke Org as he looked down at Makarov.

"I see no reason for him to leave. He is the former guildmaster of my Guild, so I will eventually tell him about this information." informed Naruto.

"Do as you wish, continue with the report Naruto."

Naruto took another deep breath, "Damn I should've just sent a clone here. Now I have to give another long talk."

"It all begun, when I ran across a Dark Guild called Death's Head Caucus."

LINE

"Who are these three again?" asked Naruto. Naruto himself was sitting on the low branch of a rather thick and big tree.

Naruto stared at the trio that was tied up in front of Naruto. Naruto thought they were a interesting looking trio. Only the pink haired woman in the white kimono looked normal enough. Her other two companions couldn't of looked any more weirder. A very large and muscular man was tied up in front of Naruto. Though what made this man so strange was his owl like head…..nope, Naruto was sure that it was the head of an owl on the body of that man. The other man looked like some goth punk you would see at some rock concert. Naruto looked across the tied up trio, and looked straight at Jellal. He was wearing a long high colored blue cloak with some type of armor under it. On the armor was the mark of Crime Sorciere.

Jellal leaned against a tree, and looked up at Naruto with his usual stern look. He then answered, "They're part of Death's Head Caucus, a dark guild not too far from here."

Naruto looked a bit bored as he stared at the three unconscious dark mages. Naruto looked up at Jellal, and then rose an eyebrow,

"So, why did you call me out here for?", asked Naruto, " Don't you usually just turn these guys in?"

"Why must you be so impatient Naruto? I still find it hard to believe that the magic council allows someone like you to hold such a high title."

Naruto placed his hand on the tree trunk, and turned around to the sound of the voice. Behind him stood a pale skinned woman with long purple hair and brown eyes. She was a very beautiful woman with an hourglass shape. Next to her stood a woman just as beautiful with wavy pink hair that reached down to the middle of her back, and on her head were brown mufflers. Both girls wore the same exact blue cloak that Jellal had been wearing.

Naruto looked at the purple haired woman, and gave her a smirk. Then he spoke, "Clock girl, it's been a while. I see you are well too, Meredy."

Meredy gave Naruto a smile, but before she could say anything Ultear glared at Naruto angrily.

"I told you to stop calling me that. My name's Ultear." yelled Ultear at Naruto.

Meredy took a step away from the angry Ultear, and tried to calm her down, "Ultear, you know he's just kidding around."

Naruto gave a small chuckle, as he stood up on the branch. Then suddenly Jellal shouted out the three of them.

"Naruto…Ultear….Meredy," spoke out Jellal, "We don't have time for some hearty reunion. We need to get down to business."

Naruto jumped from down the tree, and landed right next to Jellal. Ultear calmed herself down, and walked over to them. Meredy followed close behind, and soon they were huddled together. Jellal gave a quick look around the area, and then looked up at Naruto.

"From the information we have gathered, a member of Tartarus is currently residing within Death's Head Caucus." explained Jellal.

Naruto's right eye widen, and expression of shock crossed his face.

"Tartaros?" questioned Naruto, "I thought they were completely impossible to track. I mean, even clock girl had little to no information on them."

A tick mark appeared on Ultear's head, but she ignored her little nickname. Then she responded to Naruto, "Yes, but for some reason they have begun to move. It would be best if we captured her alive, and interrogate her."

"Yet that is a lot easier said than done," spoke Meredy as she suddenly pulled out a small drawing. The drawing was that of a small building with many notes written on it. Meredy then looked up at Naruto, "That is why we decided to call you in. We know you're busy with Fairy Tail, but we have no idea how strong this Tartaros member is."

Jellal and Ultear nodded in agreement, and Naruto looked down at the paper. He quickly scanned the paper, memorizing every detail. He then read out loud to himself, "70 members and a Tartaros big player…"

Naruto looked up at Crime Sorciere, "A Ten Wizard Saint, and three S-rank criminals…it seems like luck is on our side today."

Naruto then gave a devilish smirk, "Here's the plan…."

LINE

Naruto and Meredy we're both hiding behind a pair of trees. About 40 yards away stood a very large dark building. It was only two stories, but the building itself was still huge. The front entrance was an enormous steel door twice the size of Naruto's height. Each window had a metal frame around it to keep anyone out.

Naruto had changed into a similar outfit as Crime Sorciere, and wore a toad mask similar to the ANBU masks in Konoha. Naruto took a deep breath, and looked over to Meredy. She had kept the same outfit, and had put on a plain white mask.

"Are you ready?" Asked Naruto.

Meredy nodded her head, and Naruto lifted his finger to his ear. Where he accessed his ear piece to communicate with Jellal, "We're moving in."

The plan was simple enough. Naruto and Meredy would move in as distractions, and Jellal and Ultear would clean up. Naruto had planned to use his shadow clone jutsu to make the guild believe they we're outnumbered. If the tartaros member was smart, they will try to use the confusion to escape. They would then lure them into a trap, where they could assure to take the member alive. Simple enough.

Naruto and Meredy launched forward. In a split second Naruto reached into his pocket, and launched a tri-pronged kunai at the door. Naruto grabbed Meredy, and he flew to the kunai. Naruto let go of Meredy, and they both dashed to each side of the gate. Naruto watched as Meredy pulled out a large lacrima, and stuck it to the front of the gate. Naruto lifted his hands, and quickly formed the shadow clone jutsu hand sign.

Naruto froze.

Meredy waited silently for Naruto's signal; which was the use of the shadow clone jutsu, but it never came.

"I thought there was suppose to be over 70 members inside…." croaked Naruto.

Meredy looked over at Naruto; confusion was written all over his face.

Meredy responded quietly, "It was only an estimation….the number could be much higher."

Meredy paused for a moment, and looked at Naruto. Meredy knew that Naruto had some sort of sensing ability. There was a look of confusion on Naruto's face; maybe he had sensed something. Meredy hadn't seen Naruto fight personally, but he had been enough to take down both Jellal and Ultear. What could have forced him to hesitate.

"Don't tell me the great Naruto Uzumaki can't handle it?" teased Meredy with a mighty grin.

"Meredy….." Naruto spoke her name with such a soft tone, it had caught Meredy off guard. Then he continued. "There's only two people inside."

Meredy remained silent for a moment.

"BEEP"

Meredy's head bent down to look at the sound of the noise, and was shocked to see the lacrima go off.

"How…." Meredy's voice trailed off, as the lacrima begun to give off a bright light.

Naruto shouted out,"Meredy!"

Then the lacrima exploded.

LINE

In what was only a second, Naruto felt like an entire hour had passed. He watched as the lacrima turned bright red, and a bright light gave off. Without even thinking twice he rushed to grab Meredy as quickly as possible. Naruto could not remember a second longer than the one he was currently living. He had moved at blinding speeds, but it felt like he couldn't of gone any slower. It was already too late. He could feel the intense heat from the explosion, and the force set him and Meredy flying.

They were thrown across the clearing like rag dolls, however before they could be slammed into anything Naruto managed to grab Meredy in the air. Then they flashed to a kunai from where they had officially begun their mission.

Naruto dropped Meredy on the ground, and ripped the burning cloak off her. He then proceeded to do the same to himself. Ignoring his own injuries he looked after Meredy, who was suffering from severe burns. She had been right next to the lacrima when it went off. Naruto cursed himself for not knowing any medical jutsu, and decided to do the only thing he could do. He turned on his headset, however he realized he couldn't hear anything anymore. He pulled out his com piece from his waist, and discovered it had suffered some type of electrical malfunction from the blast.

Naruto bit his lip, and cursed his bad luck. His proficiency with the Flying Raijin Jutsu didn't allow him to teleport further than 1000 yards. After his fight with Jose, he took his time to focus on the number of times he could teleport continuously. If he wanted to teleport further, he would need to work on the adjusting the seal. After all, his was only a watered down version of his father's.

Ultear and Jellal where at least a mile north,where they had planned to lure the Tartarus member into a trap. Naruto turned around, and watched as the dust begun to settle from the explosion. He watched as two figures begun to emerge from the dust. Naruto looked down at his right side, and realized he too had a couple burns.

Naruto pulled out a kunai and sighed. "Our plan has failed, I'm unable to properly tend my teammate, my communication's down, and I can't afford to teleport away. Not if I want to let this member get away."

He watched as a woman….a bird lady walked out in front of him. The lady had rather dark green hair, and some type of helmet on. She wore a purple skin tight suit that really showed off her curves. Her shoulders and arms are concealed by a long, striped jacket with flaring sleeves, a four-way split tail back and a tall and gaping collar that completely conceals her neck. Her hands were replaced with claws, and her feet were replaced with what looked like the feet of some bird.

She also dragged some man on a chain out of with her. Naruto watched as the man struggled just to breath, and let out silent screams. Then Naruto heard a horrendous chuckle.

"Oh, who might you be?" asked the green haired woman.

Naruto was glad he had chosen to wear his mask. At the moment, he ran no danger of being identified. So he asked, "Are you a member of tartaros?"

Naruto watched as a smile begun to grow on the lady's face. However before she could answer, the man who had been dragged out begun to scream. His deafening scream echoed through the night, when suddenly it just stopped. Almost like had pulled the plug on a speaker playing loud music. Naruto watched before his eyes as the man turned into a piece of paper that resembled that of a doll. He had never seen anything like it.

The woman shook her head, "When I thought I could get at least one human to survive my enhancement; what a pity."

"To answer your question, yes I am a member of tartaros. Allow me to introduce myself, my name Kyoka, one of the Demon Gates of Tartaros." replied Kyoka.

Naruto was tempted to take a step back, when Kyoka gave a rather evil smile, "I hope your friend and you are able to survive my enhancement. I would hate this trip to have been a waste.'

Naruto glared at the woman before her. Naruto kneeled down, and placed his hand onto Meredy. He then proceeded to teleport her to safety. Kyoka eyes widen as he watched the girl disappear. She looked back up at Naruto, and narrowed her eyes. She couldn't really sense any magical energy from the man, but Kyoka's gut was telling her to be cautious.

"Who are you?" asked Kyoka suddenly.

Naruto paused for a moment before responding, "Who I am is irrelevant. Just know that I'll be the one capturing you."

Kyoka let out a burst of laughter. Then she muttered, "You think a mere human is capable of defeating a demon like me?"

Naruto placed his readied kunai in front of him, and pulled out a three-pronged kunai from his back pouch. Then he threw it at Kyoka. Kyoka with the flick of wrist simply batted the kunai into the dirt. Naruto gave a sly smile under his mask, "Big mistake"

Naruto disappeared from Kyoka's view. In what was only a second, Kyoka stared at nothing but empty space. Her instincts were suddenly yelling danger, and the moment she looked down she understood why. The masked man underneath her was charging at her with the kunai. Kyoka managed to jump back, but not before Naruto managed to shallowly cut Kyoka across her chest.

Kyoka skidded across the clearing, with her hand on her chest and a growl on her face. She stopped halfway, and stared at Naruto. What the hell had just happened? Similar to the girl he had just disappeared, however this time he appeared right under her. She narrowed her eyes, and watched as the boy plucked the kunai out of the ground.

The kunai…..could it be related to the boy's teleportation spell? Kyoka paused for a moment, and then without warning launched herself a Naruto. Naruto eye's widen at the sudden change of pace, and her incredible speed. He barely managed to bring up his kunai, and block her claws. Naruto brought up his other hand to his kunai, and was stunned by Kyoka's strength. However he had done exactly what she wanted. With her other hand she swiped at Naruto's head.

Naruto let go of his kunai, and teleported to a nearby kunai. In a span of few seconds, he watched from distance as Kyoka swipe at nothing but air. Then in the same time frame he teleported back to the kunai he had left in Kyoka's space. He appeared underneath Kyoka's arms, and thrust his kunai into her stomach. Then to his utter shock the kunai broke.

Kyoka reacted immediately, and kicked Naruto across the clearing. Naruto grunted at her brute strength as he landed on his back. He quickly threw himself up, and looked at Kyoka who had a rather vicious smile on her face.

"Your teleportation magic is quite unique I must say. I'll admit that it is an extraordinary ability, even if it was made by a human," commented Kyoka.

Naruto didn't reply as she analyzed Kyoka. From the couple blows they had exchanged, he had come to realize she was the real deal. Her strength was stronger than his, she was naturally faster then him, and she hadn't used any a moment Naruto paused, and thought about her words. She proclaimed to be a demon, and looked down at Naruto for being human. Could she really be a demon? or was it just a title?

Naruto looked back at the clearing at Kyoka, "What are you doing here? For years Tartaros has remained in the shadows, and you suddenly do something like this? What's the point in eliminating an entire guild."

Kyoka looked at Naruto, and shook her head, "Now why would I answer those questions? From my perspective you probably have some alliance with the Magic Council. Isn't that the reason why you and your little friend we're planning to attack this guild?"

"I see…." answered Naruto. The entire fight he had kept his left eye closed under mask, but he decided he couldn't beat her if he held back. She wasn't an ordinary opponent. At the moment Naruto activated his sharingan.

"I guess the only thing to do now is to capture you, and get information the hard way." replied Naruto, then he quickly ran at her. Kyoka answered his call by rushing at him as well. In mid sprint Naruto rose his right arm, and formed a rasengan. Kyoka smiled and Naruto watched as her right hand begun to glow with a green aura. His sharingan was telling him whatever she was doing was not magic. Naruto and Kyoka we're now a few feet away from each other when Naruto threw one of his kunai at Kyoka. Then just like how Naruto had hoped, she dodged it instead of blocking it. The kunai soared over Kyoka's head, and exposed back.

Naruto brought up his rasengan, and Kyoka brought up her claw to meet Naruto's attack. It didn't even take Naruto a second. Right before their attacks could meet, Naruto flashed to the kunai her had thrown. He doubled the size of his rasengan, and he slammed it into Kyoka's back. Kyoka was slammed into the ground with such force, that ground around her blew in all directions. Naruto quickly marked Kyoka's back, and then pushed himself to the side.

Kyoka was slow to get back up. Naruto took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

"Sorry for stealing that move from you, dad." thought Naruto as he reopened them to see Kyoka on her feet again. Blood was dripping out of her mouth, and she was hunched over. A look of great pain was relevant on her face. However, that did not stop the amount of killing intent and anger to seep from her. Naruto reached into his ninja pouch, and pulled out scroll. He carefully unrolled it, and suddenly a katana with many characters appeared in his hand. He placed the katana steadily in his hands. Kyoka begin to move her mouth to speak.

"You pathetic littl-" Kyoka didn't get a chance to finish when Naruto appeared next to her, and pierced the katana into her torso.

"Human" finished Naruto as he pressed the katana further. Kyoka spit out more blood as she continued to glare at Naruto. Naruto let go of his katana, and took a step. Naruto watched as Kyoka staggered back, and fell to her knees.

Naruto looked down at her,and talked, "This katana is something I came up with a few months back. It filled with numerous runes that place a curse in the magic flowing in your body. At this moment you shouldn't even be able to move a muscle. "

"You won't be going anywhere." finished Naruto as he suddenly placed his left hand on his sharingan. Taking a few breaths, he looked down at Kyoka.

"I'm not the most skilled at his, but it will be a learning experience for both of us." Naruto told Kyoka as he stared into Kyoka's eyes. His sharingan had begin to spin, when suddenly he saw a small grin appear on Kyoka's face.

"Toad"

Naruto suddenly stopped his jutsu, and looked behind him. Jellal had come rushing out of the woods. Unlike Naruto he hadn't even bothered hiding his identity. Naruto looked at Jellal, and brought his hands to his hips.

"You've finally come." spoke out Naruto, "I thought for a moment that I was gonna have to complete this myself."

Jellal had stopped moving, and instead looked at the destruction behind Naruto. Their was a large crater where Naruto was standing, and behind him was Kyoka kneeling down with a katana impaled in her. Jellal looked back up at Naruto, and gave a whistle.

"It seems I didn't have to rush over her. However, that doesn't explain Meredy's condition." replied Jellal.

Naruto brought his hand up to his chin and rubbed it. he then replied, "Yeah, that would be the explosive lacrima. It seems this dark mage managed to detonate remotely, before we we're able to set it off ourselves."

Naruto looked up at Jellal, and watched as a look of terror creeped up on his face. Before Jellal could even mutter a word, warning bells begin to go off in Naruto's head. Only due to years of experience did he instinctively ducked, and rolled to the side and avoid the dangerous blade. Naruto then jumped back to Jellal's side.

Now it was Naruto's turn to growl as he glared at Kyoka. Who was standing up as if she had never been injured. A large smile was plastered onto her face, as she waved Naruto's sealing katana in the air.

"What a talented human you are, toad?" said Kyoka with a hint of amusement in her voice. Kyoka then ran her claw across the blade admiring Naruto's fine work. She then gave a nod.

"This will definitely become useful in the future. I hate using human-made weapons, but this will be an exception." praised Kyoka as she looked up at both Naruto and Jellal. Naruto had now pulled out a kunai, and Jellal had gotten in a fighting stance.

"How the hell did you manage to take that out of you? You should of been unable to move." replied Naruto as his glare did not lessen. He was angry that his invention had failed miserably.

Kyoka continued to toy with Naruto's weapon. She then replied, "We demons are nothing like you humans. We don't use magic; we use curses to fuel our power. "

Naruto paused for a moment, and sighed. It would've been useful to know before. He then looked over at Jellal and asked,"Where's Ultear?"

"Taking care of Meredy." replied keeping his eyes on Kyoka.

Naruto nodded, and took a step to the side. He watched as Kyoka continued to play with the sword. When suddenly she brought it down, and stuck it into the ground. Kyoka then closed her eyes, and Naruto and Jellal watched as a green aura begin to appear around her body. A wave of power swept through the air, and Naruto were left staggering in their positions. Kyoka's hair had changed to something that resembled green feathers, and her claws and feet grew in proportion.

Kyoka smile continued to grow, and then she called out to Naruto, "I normally wouldn't use this form, but it seems that my priorities must be completed. So I will kill Jellal. However taking on both of you in my lesser form won't help me. "

Kyoka then brought her arms up, as her eyes radiated a blood thirsty look. She then said, "Allow me to show you my Etherious Form. The ultimate form of a Demon of the Nine Gates."

"Killing Jellal? Etherious form? What the hell are you after, and what does Jellal have to do with it?" demanded Naruto.

Jellal also looked curiously at Kyoka not understanding why she wanted to kill him. Besides the obvious. Kyoka placed one of her nails to her mouth. Then she replied, "It seems I've talked more than I should , it doesn't matter you will be dead soon."

Then she vanished from Naruto's sight. Naruto's sharingan was left looking all over the place, and not believing what it saw. There is no way nothing should be able to escape it's sight without leaving a trail. Even the Raikage's top speed left some type of linear path to follow.

"Meteor" Jellal shouted out his spell, and quickly moved away from his spot. Naruto turned to watch Kyoka barely missing Jellal by the tips of his hair. Naruto threw his kunai at Kyoka who easily brought up Naruto's katana and blocked it. She then ran up to Naruto, and begun to slice at him. Naruto hated to admit it, but it was only thanks to the sharingan that he managed to escape without a cut.

Naruto glanced to the side, and watched as Jellal prepare a spell. Naruto understood the basis of Jellal's magic, and knew that he would need to slow down Kyoka in order for it to be effective. Naruto brought up his kunai, and searched for the Flying Rajin Mark on Kyoka. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he noticed the mark was no longer there.

"Dammit" thought Naruto bitterly as he continued to create space between him and Kyoka. Naruto pulled out some ninja wire, and shuriken. He threw a few shuriken, and quickly weaved some hand signs. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu"

Kyoka stopped pursuing Naruto and chose instead to block the incoming projectiles. Shuriken went flying in the area, and hovered over Kyoka like a cloud. Naruto then tug at the ninja wire that was attached to shuriken, and brought the cloud down on Kyoka. She was soon tied up in ninja wire, and was unable to move. Naruto then heard as Jellal shouted his spell.

"Grand Chariot" Jellal's voice echoed through the forest that they had been in. Naruto looked up quickly to see seven magic seals appear in the sky. Naruto then opted to teleport to Jellal. His eyes managed to briefly gaze at Kyoka, and watched as a small smile continued to be plastered on her face. Naruto didn't managed to see the rest, when he was suddenly standing next to Jellal. A huge explosion rained through the clearing, and Jellal and Naruto watched as a large cloud of smoke and dust hover over the area.

"You think we got her?" asked Jellal as he looked over the area.

"Try again."

Naruto and Jellal's eyes widen in shock, and they quickly tried to spin around. Naruto managed to turn around quicker than Jellal, and watched his katana inches away from Jellal's back. Naruto reached out, and managed to grab the blade. In spite of that, he only managed to direct the blade and keep it from hitting any vital spots. Jellal gritted his teeth in pain, and Kyoka launched a kick from Jellal's side. With the brute force of her kick she managed to kick Jellal into Naruto, and send them flying into a large tree. Naruto grunted in pain as his back was slammed into the tree. He looked down at Jellal, and quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

Jellal barely managed to mutter, "This damn sword is-is no joke.I can't even feel my magic anymore."

Naruto fists begin to clench as he looked up at Kyoka. It seemed it wasn't some type of facade, when she talked about her damn curse. Nevertheless, he was pissed his own weapon was used against him.

"I'll be finishing this off now." spoke at Kyoka as a green cross of energy emitted from her hand.

"Now, feel my Sensation Curse at it's full power."

A massive wave of energy ran through the area, and Naruto's eyes widen in pain. He bit down on his lip refusing to allow himself to scream in total agony. Jellal was the same as his fingers dug into the ground; his eyes clenched tightly as refusing to believe this was real. The pain had somehow caused Naruto to deactivate his sharingan, and both of his eyes were bloodshot. Jellal had pushed himself off Naruto, and was sprawled on the ground in total discomfort.

"I must admit, you are the first humans I've ever had to unleash my full strength. Therefore, I will tell you exactly how your death will pan out." said Kyoka as she begun to take slow steps toward the two.

Naruto would've glared, but the pain in his body was to great. Kyoka then begin to explain her technique, "This is my sensation curse, and it has the power to increase your sensitivity to pain. Right now I've bumped it to the max; that even a gust of wind will cause you severe pain."

Kyoka then proved her statement by blowing some air in the direction of Naruto and Jellal. Their silent torment had quickly become vocal. Their shouts were filled with agony and pain. Kyoka's smile never faltered once as she looked down at Jellal and Naruto.

"It won't be long until your 5 sense are consumed by the power of my curse." explained Kyoka. Naruto cringed as everything she was saying was becoming true. Naruto could barely even hear her, he could no longer smell the lingering smoke from the explosions, he could no longer see the color of her hair, he could no longer feel the softness of the dirt below him, nor could he no longer taste the blood in his mouth. Naruto closed his eyes.

"Is this the end? To be brutally murdered by this….demon?" thought Naruto bitterly. He closed his eyelids, and suddenly the image of his guildmates begin to appear in his thoughts. He could see the faces of every single one of them, and suddenly memoires from konoha begun to flood through his head. Yes, he still needed to go back home. He still had a lot of unfinished business to attend to. Naruto took a deep breath, and lay on the ground motionless. Yes, their was still a lot he needed to accomplish.

Kyoka had finally made it to Jellal and Naruto's bodies. Her claws had extended themselves to the size of Naruto's katana.

"I never imagined that you would come to me Jellal. I suppose Zeref decided to bless me today." expressed Kyoka delightly as she brought up her hand.

*SMACK*

Kyoka didn't have a chance to react, when she was kicked across the clearing to the other side. Kyoka slammed into a tree, and sent it toppling down. She quickly stood up, and glared at the one that had kicked her. Her eyes widen in surprise as she gazed upon Naruto's standing figure. Kyoka's eyes narrowed, and took note of Naruto. He stood tall, and in some stance she couldn't recognize. How the hell had he even managed to move? Even less, land a solid kick on her.

Kyoka's thoughts were interrupted, when Naruto suddenly sprinted towards her. Kyoka growled as she stared at managed to stare into the eye holes of Naruto's mask, and noticed his eyes were closed. A pit of fire was lit in Kyoka's stomach.

"How dare you fight me with your eyes closed?!" roared Kyoka, and she disappeared from Naruto's front side. She quickly appeared behind Naruto, and brought up her claw to kill Naruto. However, the moment she struck Naruto quickly ducked and teleported. Kyoka's eyes shook as she turned her head to the side, and watched as Naruto stood on the other side of the clearing. He was once again in that stance.

Kyoka growled out loud, "What the hell is going on? I took away his five senses, there is no way he should be able to fight me."

Then suddenly Naruto moved his lips to talk. A raspy and tired voice barely managed to mutter, "Y-you might h-have taken my f-five s-senses, but you should k-know. I w-was alwa-always told I had a sixth s-sense fo-for danger."

"Are you mocking me?" shouted Kyoka. She awaited Naruto's response, but she remembered he could no longer hear. Kyoka looked over at Jellal's body, and then looked up at Naruto.

"I was going to kill you, but know I'm going to make sure to take you captive. I'll enjoy torturing you toad boy." uttered Kyoka, and her nails grew in length and raced towards Naruto. Naruto sensed the nails coming, but instead of jumping back. He opted to rush forward, and easily managed to get past her nails. Naruto pulled out a kunai, and attempted to stab quickly shrunk her nails to normal size, and blocked Naruto's strike. Kyoka knocked Naruto's kunai out of Naruto's hand, but Naruto was quick to bring up his fists. He grabbed Kyoka's wrists, and used his position to leverage himself into the air. He then kicked Kyoka in the midsection, and sent her staggering back. Kyoka was quick to recover, and they both exchanged several blows. Kyoka managed to get the upper hand, and sent Naruto flying backwards. Naruto landed on his back, but managed to roll back onto his feet.

The moment Naruto got onto his feet, he formed a handsign. Suddenly five copies of himself appeared around him. Kyoka's eyes widen at the sudden revelation of the technique. An annoyed look appeared on her face. The blond hair, the teleportation technique, and this clone magic? She knew exactly who this man under the mask was. Her eyes narrowed dangerously. This boy was Naruto Uzumaki, a ten wizard saint. Her eyes gazed over to Jellal, and back to Naruto. Why was someone like him hanging around with Jellal?

Kyoka grinned as she suddenly got an idea what was going on. However, her thoughts were caught when a cloud of smoke covered the five clones and Naruto. Suddenly three of the clones rushed forward, and attacked Kyoka with nothing but kunai in their hands. Kyoka managed to quickly pierce two of them through the midsection, but one managed to get close up to her. He was close to landing a blow on her, but she quickly brought up her hand and killed the clone. Not once did she noticed the clone leave a mark on her arm. She quickly noted that the clones we're nothing more than distractions, and brought her head back up to the cloud of smoke. She never heard the loud screeching sound of wind appear right next to her. Before she knew it the world had gone black. The only thing she heard was Naruto's shout,

"Sage Art: Wind Release: RasenShuriken!"

Kyoka's eyes fluttered for a moment, and for a moment she was tempted to fall back to sleep. However, the sight of a blazing fire suddenly brought her back to the real world. The fire's heat wrapped around her like a blanket. For a moment she allowed the heat to warm up her sore muscles, and allowed them to rest. A shot of pain shot through her left shoulder blade, and she attempted to move her hand to sooth the pain. Huh? She looked down and finally noticed that she was tied up. A numerous amount of runes covered her from head to toe, and she could no longer even command her limbs. A rare instance of panic shot through her as she had no idea was going on.

Then she saw a mop of blond hair. Her eyes narrowed with anger, when memories flooded through her head. Looking around her she noted that Jellal was lying down on his back not to far from her. Then next to him was that pink haired girl that she had attempted to kill earlier. However, nothing infuriated much more when she stared into the bright blue eye of the man in front of him. Next to him stood Ultear, as she glared down at Kyoka. Naruto did the same, but nowhere as intense as Ultear.

Naruto stood up, and let out a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're alive. For a moment I didn't think you would survive my rasenshuriken."

"You bastard…." was all that Kyoka said to Naruto.

Ultear looked down at Kyoka, "Your lucky we need you alive, or else you would be dead right now."

"Haha!" laughed Kyoka as she returned Ultear's glare.

"Y-you think I fear death? Me Kyoka! A proud demon from the Book of Zeref?" roared Kyoka hysterically. Naruto and Ultear we're a bit taken back by the information, but they we're unable to ask anything as Kyoka continued her rambling.

"ME FEAR DEATH! THE ONLY THING I FEAR RIGHT NOW IS THE PUNISHMENT I WILL RECEIVE FOR FAILING MY LORD ZEREF!" shouted Kyoka even louder, and her voice continued to rise. Now she was just screaming at the top of her lungs, "FEAR NOT LORD ZEREF! THE PLAN WILL CONTINUE EVEN IF IT MEANS MY PRIDE HAS BEEN DAMAGED! E.N.D WILL RISE AGAIN!"

"Ultear! Grab Jellal and Meredy!" shouted Naruto as he watched Kyoka's skin turn white, and she began to give off a glow similar to an exploding lacrima. Ultear moved to grab Meredy, but she was not quick enough.

Kyoka was quickly engulfed in a ball of light, and Naruto could no longer see her. All he could hear was her booming voice, "YOU SHALL DIE HERE, NARUTO UZUMAKI!"

Naruto knew what was coming next. A bubbly orange coat begin to manifest on Naruto's skin. His visible right eye had changed into a demonic red color, and Naruto's whisker marks begun to grow thicker.

From miles away a large light could be seen illuminating the silent night..

"That is all." replied Naruto as he finished telling his story. He looked back up at the magic council, and all he got in response was silence. By looking at the face of many of the members, he could tell he had startled them. He turned to look down to his side, and saw the same reaction from Makarov.

Gran Doma looked down at Naruto, and gave him an approving nod. He then stood up, and answered Naruto, "You shall be rewarded handsomely for what you have accomplished Naruto. If you have nothing more to say, then you are free to go. We, the magic council, have much to discuss."

Naruto nodded, and without reply he spun on his heels and headed for the door. Makarov hadn't uttered a word, and followed Naruto close behind.

LINE

Naruto and Makarov we're walking out of Era. They both remained quiet as they exited the bustling city. When Makarov suddenly chose to speak out, "I thought you agreed with the Ten Wizard Saints not to say anything?"

Naruto looked over and shrug his shoulders, "I told you that?"

"Yes"

Naruto looked off to the distance, and he suddenly closed his eyes. Naruto looked over to Makarov, and took a deep sigh, "I don't trust God Serma."

Makarov remained silent and didn't reply. Naruto looked him in the eye, and could see a fluster of emotions. Naruto scratched the back of his head, "I know it sounds crazy, but I'll explain another time. I have my reason to be wary of him."

Makarov looked at Naruto, and chose to trust his judgement. Instead, he redirected the topic, "So is tartaros that much of a threat?"

Naruto looked down at the old man, and wasn't surprised that was the second thing he had said, "I don't know, that wo-thing was awfully dangerous. For a moment I thought I was going to have to push my limits even further."

Makarov nodded, and he took a deep sigh, "And I thought after Grimoire, things would calm down."

Naruto shook his head, and smirked, "You have it all wrong Makarov, things have been calm for seven years. However, this the calm before the storm. I have a bad feeling that this is only the beginning of things to come."

"I agree," replied Makarov at Naruto's insight. He looked up at him, and couldn't help but hold more respect for the young lad. Not only had he managed to take care of his guild, but was also running his own operations across Fiore.

Naruto stretched his limbs, and gave a smile. "Well, you should really take this time to relax, old man."

"Why is that?" asked Makarov as he begun to walk. Naruto followed close behind him, and gave him a cheesy smile.

"It seems that Fairy Tail's famous comeback is soon to be placed in the history books." replied Naruto with an undertone of mischievousness in his voice.

Makarov cringed at the sound of his voice, but held back the urge to give off a big smile. He was starting to like this kid more and more. Nevertheless, he chose to give a stoic reply, "How so?"

"The Grand Magic Games." answered Naruto as he grabbed onto Makarov.

Makarov looked up and gave a smirk, "Well, of course. You didn't think I would back down, did you?"

Naruto shrug his shoulders, and was about to teleport; when Makarov asked another question, "I thought you said your limit was a thousand yards?"

"I've been training old man, that limit is now 100 miles."

Makarov gave an approving nod, and then looked up at Naruto, "Don't teleport back to the guild, but the city of Magnolia instead. I need to show you something,as my duty as your predecessor "

Naruto rose an eyebrow, and nodded, "Sure, I need to talk about you about my past anyways. We'll kill two birds with one stone. "

Then Naruto and Makarov disappeared in a flash of yellow.

LINE

A bright warm light engulfed a large enormous 's light wrapped around the inhabitants of the room like a mother giving it's child a loving hug. The light erupted from a set of large steel doors. Standing in front of those two doors stood Naruto and Makarov. Naruto's eyes widen at what was in front of him, and couldn't help but take a step back. His jaw dropped, and he was unable to utter a single word. Finally he managed to find his voice, and without reason he shouted. As if the light was to loud for him to talk normally.

"What is this?"

"This is Fairy Tail's trump card…..Lumen Histoire."

LINE

UNKNOWN LOCATION

"Oh, it would seem that Kyoka has been killed."

"Kyoka? That stupid fool, and she's always looking down at the other members."

"Get her subordinate, Lamy, and have that fool begin her work on resurrecting her."

"Do I? That chick is fucked up in the head."

"Do It or die"

"Fine, if that is your wish my king."

WHAT'S UP GUYS! I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE I'M NOT DEAD! lol

Anyhow, how did you enjoy this chapter? I was going to skip this and go straight into the Games, but I decided my plot wouldn't make much sense later on, if I didn't explain Naruto's initial encounter with tartaros. Also the part with God Serena was not something I just decided to add.I had a different name to go along with the First God of Ishgar, but I've been inactive for so long. Things have progressed nicely in the Fairy Tail manga for me individually.

Since, I've scratched the initial path I had for my story I will tell you what I had first planned. Sometime after I wrote the tartaros arc to my story, I was planning to have a civil war occur in Fiore. I honestly thought that was what would occur next in the Fairy Tail Manga, and I wasn't too off the mark. Not to spoil anything, but Fairy Tail does end up going to war. Which will be much fun to write!

Next Chapter: Grand Magic Games?

Hopefully, I promised last chapter to begin that this chapter. OOps!

FAVORITE! FOLLOW! REVIEW!

*SPOILER?*

Naruto vs God Serena?

Who would like that? Of course it wouldn't happen for a while, but I'm gonna start building the hype.
