-Chapter 7-

As soon as he opened his eyes, a peaceful face of sleeping Ultear was gracing his eyesight. It was a wonder how such thing even possible; after all, harmless and innocent were not things associated with the black haired girl. Yet, the girl sleeping next to him was the very definition of harmless and innocent. Perhaps it was the fact that people's sleeping face revealed the purest of them, or, that the fact the girl slept beside him somehow had changed that fact, or.. could it be that he liked it to see her next to him?

Honestly speaking, every male would be happy to see the woman's beautiful face as soon as they're awoke, perhaps he was not an exception to that rule. Still, Naruto would prefer Mavis to be in the woman's place. It's true that he had allowed the woman to please herself with his body, however, it's mainly due to his bitter feeling toward the fact that his beloved and precious woman had lied to him. He actually wouldn't care if she rejected telling things to him, but she had lied, and Naruto didn't appreciate it when he was being lied to. Even so, he couldn't deny that he had cheated on her; was not it something he deemed as a sin? He could ignore Ultear's seduction yet he chose not to; Naruto couldn't find any excuse to justify what he had done.

Did he have some sort of feeling toward Ultear? What about Mirajane? Had he, without realizing it, become a filthy man who couldn't become loyal to his beloved wife?

No, that's impossible; filthy man and him couldn't be associated. Even back to the shinobi era when he had two wives and one ex-girl, he didn't count himself as a filthy man. He could satisfy those three women just fine, they had never complained about him loving more than one woman. Therefore, he shouldn't feel remorse by letting Ultear raped him, should he? Besides, he did feel the pleasure of her body and actually loved it all, not to mention that he enjoy the woman's company.. thus, could he conclude that he had feeling to her, and by extension Mirajane, too?

Naruto was not good at handling emotion, but, if he was to recall his past, he had to admit that the things he was feeling to Ultear and Mirajane was not so different to his feeling for his deceased wives. Then, he shouldn't feel guilty, right? Well, perhaps it was because Mavis had insisted that he's not allowed to have another woman when he had already have her, if not then he'd not even entertain about feeling guilty. Still, he couldn't deny that he had never love a woman as much as he loved that petite blonde girl; he had never shed tears to another love interest aside of Mavis; he had never allowed himself to be bossed around except to Mavis. Had not Mavis lied to him, he'd have never entertained the idea of sleeping with the other woman. Then, was he going to blame Mavis? He's such a petty person, was he not? Couldn't he just accept the truth? If Mavis was fine with lying to him, then he needed not to care about the girl's feeling when he's with another woman; Mavis would have to face the consequence of the things she had done.

"What are you thinking to make you so lost in thought, the pleasure of the night, or.. your wife?"

Naruto blinked once, twice, and thrice before he returned his attention to the woman next to him who was staring at him with curious face. "You are awake," he stated, ignoring her question.

"No, I'm still dreaming."

Naruto stared at the woman, Ultear was not backing from his stare.

Naruto's eyes left the woman's as it went down toward her exposed breast – the blanket that previously covered their bodies had been folded half way and it covered only their lower part. Ultear was not hiding her sizeable bust, she shamelessly brought her right hand and massaged her right breast while using her thumb to caressing her hard pink nipple. "I'm sure Meredy has not awake yet, I will be more than happy if you return the favor I gave you night prior."

"You have no shame," said Naruto as his eyes returned back on hers.

"I need not any shame to express my desire," retorted Ultear. "Though, to be honest, your 'prized' thing is still inferior compared to the thing i saw on one of my adult books. I honestly thought that yours will be larger, but.." Ultear didn't continue her words, she didn't need to finish it.

Naruto was speechless, no, he was so fucking shock. For the many times he had tasted the pleasure of the women body, this was the first time that his manhood was being insulted. He could not forgive it, he wouldn't fucking forgive it. "You will regret saying it," said Naruto in a cold tone.

Ultear had no chance to retort; in all sudden she had found herself below the blond, with both her hands being caught and placed above her head. "When I'm done with you, you will be too tired to even stand."

Ultear could only smile. "Do your worst," she excitingly said.

Tenrou Island

Mavis sat in a lotus position. Green aura was engulfing her whole body, multiple strings made of ethernano sprouted out of her back, they were all went up high to the sky. The strings could not be seen with normal eyes, but everyone who had extra control over their magic would be able to feel the intensity of the air around the strings. Mavis eyes closed, she had been in this sitting position since night prior.

Mavis was glad that Naruto had not come to her, that's meant he had yet to know, or, he simply ignored it and made her to think that he had not known yet. Naruto sometimes could be that cruel, but she knew that between them she was the cruelest. It was perhaps Ankhseram's fault for telling her about Naruto Ootsutsuki and showing her how Naruto with cold, emotionless eyes had massacred thousands people in the long, long time ago. If not then there's no way she was in this situation, perhaps she'd have been sitting alongside Naruto watching over their children playing in the garden, but that would not going to happen anytime soon.

She knew and had no doubt that she believed that Naruto was not a bad person, but he was not a kind person as well. He mostly stayed indifferent, he cared only for people he loved. However, Naruto could and would ignore that love, he had said it himself. Back then in the shinobi era, Naruto had two wives—she did not like about that fact but there's nothing she could do about it. Between his two wives, none of them wanted to live an immortal life. That did not please Naruto, but he didn't want to force them. So when his children became adult and his wives reached age of forty, Naruto faked his death and left.. he did not return for about two hundred years straight.

There's no doubt that his family were hurt, but Mavis knew the one who's hurt the most was no other than Naruto himself. Having families just to watch them died was cruel, that's why Mavis didn't hesitate to agree when Naruto asked her to live an immortal life with her.. well, actually she was the one who proposed it. She was the one who said those words to Naruto.

"Immortality is like a double-edged sword. It can be a blessing, but it can turn into a curse. To heal the curse of immortality, one desires to die. But there's another way: to find another immortal, or to make a new one. So, Naruto, let us live the immortal life.. let us guide human into prosperity!"

She could remember those words and the memories of that time very clear, like it was just yesterday's event.

Mavis sighed, she looked tired. Not physically, but mentally. Even so, Mavis endured, she did not waver. She had reached this far, stopping would just make everything useless. Ankhseram's sacrifice, her death and sacrifice, Naruto's pain, the time.. everything would be in vain. She could not have that, she had to finish what she had started, despite the guilt was creeping inside her heart, she must not stop.

Perhaps this was not the best course of solution, but she could not think of anything else. Accepting Naruto's way of becoming immortal indeed looked good, however, she had no delusion that Naruto would let her be his equal in term of power. Putting her full trust in Naruto was perhaps the best for the both of them, but having knowledge about a part of Naruto that was hidden from her had stopped Mavis from doing so. Why would Naruto hide it?

Perhaps she could understand his reason. But even so, it was not enough to make her waver, Mavis would finish this and then she could finally stand on equal standing with Naruto. She would finally call herself Naruto's equal. It was indeed sounded so selfish, but Mavis believed that she was not selfish. What she's doing was necessary, not only for her but also for Naruto and all people.

Sighing, Mavis clasped both her hands, a very big green magic circle appeared beneath her.

Magnolia

The miss fairy tail contest had finally begun, and Mirajane Strauss did not participate in it, much to the shock of all male members of the guild. She had joined the male members as the audience instead, of course she did not wear any revealing cloth, it would ruin her image in her blond's eyes after all, even though he did not bother to come at all.

Mirajane smiled as she watched Cana entered the stage. Naruto would no doubt think of her as a slut, Mira would not tell the fairy's girls about his thought though. It was better to limit the amount of people that knew about the blond's thought. It was not because she disliked the idea of them changing their appearance or that she was afraid Naruto would avert his eyes to the other girls or something along those line, Mira just wanted for them to do as they please.. perhaps.

Just like Cana, it was the same with Juvia, the girl did not mind for all these males to glance at her skin. What covered their intimate area were just simple underwear, it would not be hard to imagine what existed beneath that, more so if the one who imagined it were the perverts like these guys. Was it different to a slut? Mira could in faith say that the girls were not slut, but she could not deny that they were acting like slut. Thinking about this brought shame to her, she started to hate her past, she should not have accepted the contract from that magazine!

Mirajane shook her head and clasped her hands giving the ex-phantom girl applause. At least now she would not have to worry about having her sexy pose being distributed for all eyes to see, she had cut the ties with the magazine and had even went as far as to threaten them to delete all her sexy picture they kept; there would be no magazine about her sexy pose in a very revealing bikini anymore. She didn't mind to show the blond one of those bikini though, eh, she would definitely showed her sexy pose in her favorite bikini to the blond!

Mirajane came back to her sense from her daydreaming when a loud cheer escaped the male's mouths. It was Erza's turn, and she was using loli outfit, it looked so good on her. Mira felt glad that Naruto did not come, it's not because she's worried or what, it was just a simple thought coming to her mind. Besides, Erza indeed looked cute, the winner had definitely been secured just like what the Titania had proclaimed, and so she gave the red haired girl a loud applause.

The event continued with Levy's turn and on and on, Mirajane followed them all with glee smile. But the cheering and happiness soon stopped in all sudden when Evergreen came in to the stage and turned all the contestants into statues.

"What is the meaning of this, Evergreen?! Turn them back!" shouted master Makarov.

Mira stood next to Makarov, eyes glaring at the light brown haired woman. "Return them back, Evergreen!" yelled Mira, her eyes avoiding Evergreen's.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning hit the stage, Laxus appeared inside the hall soon after. "You Fairy Tail losers, the festival is just getting started!" said Laxus with a crazed grin on his face.

"Laxus!" Makarov shouted.

Gray looked around and he spotted two other mages. "Freed! Bickslow too!"

"The thunder god tribe?!" exclaimed Macao.

"They are Laxus' bodyguards!" said Wakaba.

Laxus smirked as his grandfather glared him. "Let's play, old man."

"Enough of this nonsense, turn them back at once!" demanded Makarov.

Laxus widened his smirk listening to his grandfather's demand. "Just how many of them will survive until the Fantasia Parade starts?" asked Laxus as a bolt of lightning appeared above the petrified Lucy.

Makarov's eyes widened in horror, so were Mira's. They both yelled but Laxus ignored them. The lightning bolt hit the stage next to Lucy, and he placed his arms around her afterward. "I'm taking these girls hostage. Try to break the rules, and you will see them shatter one by one. Like Evergreen said, this is entertainment."

"I've enough of your joke, Laxus!" yelled Makarov.

"It is not a joke, I'm completely serious, old man."

Freed then jumped down to the stage. "Let's find out who the strongest member of Fairt Tail is!"

Bickslow then jumped down as well. "Let's have some fun!"

"Interesting."

That simple word managed to silence all the people inside the hall. Many reactions appeared on all members of Fairy Tail's faces as they gazed up on a floating throne-like chair where Naruto lazily sat. Mirajane had a warm smile, Natsu had a grin, Grey was smiling, Makarov let a relieve sigh escaped his mouth, and the members of Thunder God Tribe were frowning at this unexpected turn of event. However, the one who pissed more was no other than Laxus Dreyar. He stood there without a word for a moment, before he burst in laughter. "Hahahaha.. haha… hahahahaha.. good, good. I thought you'd not come," he said after his laughter died.

"I don't actually come for this event, but it seems I'll have to delay my intention when I hear your words. You don't mind me joining this little game, do you?"

Laxus shook his head, "You are welcome."

"Good. But the game you will provide does not sound good enough to entertain us. Why don't I change the game and make things more interesting? Don't you agree, Natsu?"

"Of course Naruto, I will definitely beat you now!"

"See, Natsu agrees. What will you say, Laxus?" but Naruto did not wait for his fellow blond's answer. He clasped both his hands and in all sudden the environment around them changed drastically.

They were no longer in the hall but inside a big amphitheater arena. The arena's floor was made of earth, its purpose was clearly to lessen the pain should the fighter fell from above. The arena was an oval in shape, one hundred eighty meters on its long axis and one hundred fifty meters on the short axis. It was forty meters tall and modeled after the arenas of the Roman Empire. Above the arena was a VIP box, there were many chairs for people to sit by to watch the fight down here inside the arena.

"Before I explain the rules of this fairy tail tournament, I will first return the girls back into human."

Just as Naruto said that, a blue magic circle appeared beneath the statues and it slowly turned them back into human. Evergreen growled at seeing her magic being overpowered so easily, but no one could fault her, all knew that Naruto was strong and had many form of magic.

Seeing everything was okay and that the girls had been briefed by Mira, Naruto decided to explain the rules and how the tournament would be held. "This tournament will be divided into three part: the first is the elimination part, the eight person who pass the first part will be arrange to fight each other on one on one fight, the four winners will be pinned against each other as well till the two winners are chosen, only then we will proceed to the final which is a fighting against me, two on one. Of course I will give a suitable prize for the last two winners, ten million jewels for each. And if you managed to defeat me, I will give my gold throne that is worth of a few billion jewels to you. As for the rule, it is simple, there's no rule!"

The people were hardly paying any attention toward what Naruto said, their eyes (except Laxus) had shone brightly at the mention of ten millions jewels for each of two finalists, more so by the mentioned "billion jewels". Naruto could understand it, ten million jewels.. it was the amount of jewel one could get after finishing at least ten s-rank job requests, assuming that the average payment for s-rank job was about one million. Not only the member of Fairy Tail, but their guild master was very excited too. "Let me join in, Naruto!" Makarov yelled.

"No, that's not fair!" complained all (except Laxus) members of Fairy Tail, making the old man cried comically.

Naruto shook his head at seeing the old man shedding tears, he couldn't fault the fairies for disagreeing with the guild master joining the tournament. It was indeed not fair, only some would be able to put a little resistance against the old man, that would not be an interesting tournament if the old man was to participate.

Naruto returned his eyes back to the fairies. "If you are all ready, I will immediately send you to a labyrinth which only has eight exit doors, so then we can finally begin this tournament. Is there anything else you wish to ask or do?"

"No, I'm all fired up!"

"Bring it!"

"Let's be a man!"

"I need all the money!"

"We are ready!"

Seeing no one wished to ask question, Naruto rose his right hand in a ram seal and just like that all participants disappeared from the arena in puffed of smoke, leaving Makarov alone with tears in his eyes. Sighing, Naruto jumped down from his floating throne and approached the old man. This old man really did remind him of the late sandaime, both were pervert and kind too. "Come, Makarov, you don't want to miss their performance, do you?"

Seeing Makarov nodded his head, Naruto teleported the two of them to a place where they would be able to watch how the fairies fared in the labyrinth right away.

"Where is this, Naruto?" asked Makarov as he took notice of his surroundings. It was a dark, closed room where multi screens appeared out of nowhere on the walls before him. The screens showed them the situations the fairies found themselves in.

"We are somewhere," responded Naruto as he took a seat on the sofa that just popped out of nowhere in the middle of the room. "Take a seat, Makarov, it will be an interesting watch."

Makarov sighed and took seat next to Naruto. As soon as he sat on the sofa, all fairies were now face to face with the replica of themselves. It surprised him, but he held himself from asking in preferring to watch how his children would survive against themselves. "You said they need to find the exit door, not fighting?" Makarov couldn't help but ask, Naruto had not said anything about the fighting at all.

"Nah, it will not be fun if there's no challenge, will it?"

Makarov couldn't argue with that, indeed it wouldn't be fun if there's no challenge.

..two hours later..

Finally, the eight winners of the labyrinths had been confirmed: Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Freed, and Juvia.

"It is time to have the actual tournament, let us return to the arena, old man." Naruto clasped both his hands as soon as he said that and Makarov, once again, found himself next to the blond inside the arena, with fairies standing a few meters away from him and Naruto.

"Congratulations to the eight of you, and for the rest who lose, you guys have to improve yourselves. I'm sure, one day you will be as strong as you imagine you'd be. Now then, let us proceed to the actual tournament. Since I'm the mastermind of this tournament, I will arrange the fighters myself. First battle: Natsu vs Juvia, second battle: Gray vs Mirajane, third battle: Erza vs Freed, and the fourth battle: Gajeel vs Laxus. The time for each battle is thirty minutes, if within thirty minutes the fight still last, I will decide the winner by myself with any means I see fit. That's all about it, if there's no question we can begin the tournament right away. So, any question?"

No one said any words.

"Alright then, we will proceed to the first battle; all of you, except Natsu and Juvia, can leave the arena to any seat you like."

No one needed to be told twice; all of them except the first contestants were immediately leaving for the seats. Natsu and Juvia were eyeing each other trying to gauge each other's determination. "I'm all fired up. Be ready for defeat, Juvia!"

Juvia did not deter. "I will offer my victory for Gray-sama, I will go all out to defeat you, Natsu-san! With the money I will definitely get, we will be able to make our marriage ceremony as big as possible."

Seeing the two contestants were ready, Naruto raised his right hand and brought it down in a blur. "Fight, begin!"

Natsu covered his fists with his dragon flame and dashed toward Juvia. The blue haired girl was more than ready though, dozens water needles were forming around her and they were all shooting toward Natsu as he came near. Grinning, Natsu halted and inhaled a large sum of oxygen, he then clasped both of his flame covered hands while casting his newest spell. "Fire Dragon's Flame of Destruction!" Natsu breathed a large sum of hot orange flame from his mouth. The flame moved in fast speed while incredibly increasing in size, and only after a second, a wave of tsunami of flame was already eating everything before its magnificent route.

Juvia could tell that she'd be suffered greatly if she failed to evade. Try as she might, she couldn't find any space to escape, even her special spell that allowed her to transport was not working, the water was evaporated even before she could escape through it. That frightening flame, she had never seen the flame as hot as it. What should she do?

Naruto frowned. That flame, it was as hot as his flame that was eaten by the pink haired boy back then, dared he say it was a bit hotter. Had he somehow managed to remake it?

Sighing, Naruto created a teleportation magic circle beneath Juvia and teleported the girl toward the other fairies. A few second after that, Natsu's flame hit the wall and burned everything into ashes, even the seals he had placed on it were no exception. Before the intensifying flame, nothing remained but a scorching land.

Thud!

As the voice of something fell invaded his ears, Naruto shifted his head and didn't surprised at what he's seeing. It was only natural for Natsu to lose consciousness, executing that spell must took a lot of him, not to mention the pressure it put on his body. If he was to strengthen his body or if he was in his dragon force form then Naruto believed that Natsu would be able to handle it just fine. That spell, it was no doubt that it could hurt an adult dragon. Dragon Slayer.. truly they were the most blessed mage on Earthland, they were blessed by the dragon. Perhaps he should revive Drago and made that Dragon Emperor taught him Dragon Senjutsu, should not he?

Wait, since Mavis can use drago's senjutsu once she merged with her body, it means that she would be the first, true and strongest dragon slayer, right? That means.. the future Mavis will be stronger than the her in the past four thousand years.

If that was really the case, Acnologia could no longer match his beloved wife once she merged with her body. With all her experience and knowledge were available for her, she'd be the strongest on this Earthland, strong enough to make him went all out in his current form and even have the chance to defeat the current him—of course without him using rinnegan since it would make most types of magic basically useless against him. Well, that should be obvious since Mavis was his beloved girl, he did trained her with thought that she would be able to match "Naruto Uchiha".

Having that thought, Naruto couldn't help himself from frowning. No matter how hard he tried to put the blonde petite girl out of his mind, she would always come back to dominate his mind. Such was his love for Mavis, it was impossible for him to be angry at her. The farthest things he could do were being silent and left her for some days, but showing his anger before the girl was impossible for him.

Sighing, Naruto appeared next to the fallen Natsu and teleported him to the empty seats near the rest fairies. They're worried about the dragon slayer but Naruto ensured them that he'd awake in about two or three hours. After that, he went back to the arena to repair it before continuing the tournament.

The elimination fights took more than three hours, but at last the final participants had been decided. As he expected, the two who stood before him were Erza and Laxus. Mira did give a very tough fight for Erza, but in the end Erza triumphed over Mira. Laxus on the other hand managed to defeat Natsu, the pink haired dragon slayer managed to give a hard fight for the second generation dragon slayer though. Overall, it was not a bad performance for him to watch, but not enough to be said well.

Naruto inhaled a large sum of oxygen, he held it for a few seconds before exhaling. "Come," he said with a motion of his index finger. "Give your all, do not hesitate."

Needed not to be told twice, Laxus disappeared in a bolt of yellow lightning and reappeared above Naruto with both hands intertwined readied to hit Naruto's head. Naruto did not blink nor did he move, he rose his left hand and caught both Laxus' hands before pulling him down and kneed him on his gut, forcing the lightning user to cough out some saliva.

Naruto wasn't done. Still holding his fellow blond's hands, Naruto lifted Laxus' body and sided kick him on his gut, sending him toward Erza who had already equipped herself in her empress armor. Laxus did not go far, he managed to flip himself forcing his body to stop. But Naruto did not plan to let Makarov's grandson to counter attack; he vanished from his place and appeared right in front of the stunning Laxus with left punch connected to his chest, sending Laxus flying dozens meter backward hitting the arena's wall. Naruto dusted his hand and shifted his eyes toward Erza.

"Why are you standing still and not attacking me, Erza?" Naruto asked to the standing still Erza who was watching him like a hawk with a katana gripped strongly on her right hand.

"There's no point in finding my weakness," continued Naruto.

Erza frowned. "Everyone has a weakness," she stated firmly.

"Normally that is the case, but am I looked normal to you?"

Erza did not offer any verbal response. With all her might, she took off and swung her blade which was covered by flame trying to bisect the blond. Naruto did not move, even so, Erza did not hesitate as she swung her sword with all her might. Though, much to her and everyone's surprise, Naruto caught the flame engulfed sword with his left thumb and index finger. "You need more strength," said Naruto as he shattered the sword into tiny pieces. "You need a better sword," continued Naruto as he punched the red head with his right hand on her gut. "And lastly, you need more speed," finished Naruto as he sent her flying toward the wall.

Boom!

"The two of you need to work together to even have the chance to hit me," stated Naruto as he folded his hands on his chest while looking down on the tattered form of Erza and Laxus.

"Nonsense!" yelled Laxus angrily as yellow lightning running wildly around his body, dragon scale started to appear on his face and arms. "I'm alone is enough to beat a bastard like you!" Laxus declared with a crazed grin.

"I know that working together is the best, but," Erza paused as she activated her strongest combat form, "but.. I need to be stronger, besides, that arrogant guy does not want to work together."

"I see," muttered Naruto in a stoic tone. He had thought that if those two worked together then at least they would be able to try entertained him. But, since they refused working together, then there's no use to further the fight any longer. "If that is the case," he said disappointingly, "I will end this right now." As soon as the words left his mouth, Naruto was no longer standing there.

Thud! Thud!

"Such disappointment," said Naruto as both his opponent fell with blood leaking out of their mouth, they had fallen unconscious even before they fell.

No one said words. The fairies were all staring at Naruto with eyes opened wide and awed face. Naruto turned his body and looked down at his fallen opponents, "Arc of Time is indeed dangerous," he muttered to himself.

Later at noon, Fairy Tail's hidden underground

He had been itching to visit this place ever since Mavis regained her memories back, and at last, even though he spent more time than he wanted with the fairies, he had found himself inside this underground.

Naruto stared at the big lacrima that was keeping Mavis's body. He was glad that he was there the moment Mavis's soul left her body, and so he had made sure to have Mavis body clothed in her favorite cloth so that no mortal could glance at her heavenly body. The thought of someone looked at her naked body did not dwell well with him; Mavis belonged to him alone, only him who could rejoice her glorious figure, he was that possessive.

Naruto walked closer and raised his right hand putting his palm against the lacrima. He could sense it, Mavis's body was always absorbing the ethernano. Perhaps Mavis could hide it well that no one noticed about this fact, however, it was not enough to fool him. He also convinced that Zeref also already sensed this situation as well. Though, it seemed he did not interested in this thing, yet. But Naruto knew that sooner or later Zeref would try to look at this supposed to be the hidden weapon of fairy tail, more so with his intention on creating an immortal body for his beloved Zera. But of course Naruto would not allow anyone to even lay a single hand on Mavis.

However, that was not the reason as to why he was here. He had realized something when Mavis regained her memories back: something had changed with the atmosphere, and it had a connection to the body of his beloved, and it had gotten worse since last night. This phenomenon reminded him back to the day when Zeref explained him about the existence of Ankhseram, and that Ankhseram was the responsible of what had happened to his beloved, of course he had taken the measure so that rather than having both soul and body being affected he instead separated Mavis soul from her body. But it seemed this Ankhseram who claimed himself the goddess's servant that watched over this world had anticipated his move, that's why the curse that befallen upon Mavis was quite different to Zeref.

That was annoying, and a little interesting. The annoyance part was that someone managed to counter his move, and the interesting one was that the one who managed that feat seemed to have a liking to his beloved wife. Why was that? Naruto did not know. Asking Mavis directly would not be wise; there's a reason that she refused to merge in with her body each time he persuaded her. He first guessed that she wanted to collect as much ethernano as possible to create a space and time magic that would bring her to the past, trying to save Zera. But now he began to doubt that thought; whatever the blonde woman planned on doing had nothing to do with Zera.

Interesting. Naruto could not help himself from smiling, what if that goddess Ankhseram talking about was Mavis? Thinking to the past four thousand years ago, that made a little sense; Mavis was actually the creator of magic, of course with his help, so calling her the goddess was not wrong. But her power was not that much to be called a goddess, but.. this body that always absorbing the ethernano.. and the change in the atmoshphere.. it was a little similar to the time when he decided to absorb all chakra from human.

"Does Mavis want to take all ethernano for herself? And this Ankhseram is ensuring that to happen?" Naruto could not help but wonder.

But.. Mavis would not do that.. unless someone told and showed her about his true power. But if that was to be the case then her death four thousand years ago was planned, so that she could free herself from the law of universe that was known as fate.. that the reason she uttered as "wanting to feel death" was but a lie. "Ha.. haha.. hahahahaha.. to think that Mavis would go that far just because she afraid of my power.." Naruto paused and let go off his hand, "..how foolish.." he said and turned around leaving the lacrima. His rinnegan came to life as a spark of silver chakra began to pick. "Who really is that fool Ankhseram?" asked Naruto in wonder before he vanished from the hidden place like he was never there to begin with, the lacrima did also vanished right after.

"Using my woman against me is a sin beyond blasphemy.."—were sound that echoed throughout the room the moment Naruto and the lacrima disappeared, and it vanished just after it echoed.

-End of Chapter-

Er, it has been a long while.., has it not?

Um.. this story are about Mavis and Naruto, you will be in a disappointment if you expect me to follow the canon Fairy Tail. Having said that, next chapter will begin the climax of this fic, and that this story will finish below chapter 15.

Despite my super terrible grammar, thanks for keeping up with me.
