What? You thought this story was dead, forgotten, thrown away...You thought wrong! Here's the newest chapter!

I've been in an Naruto Fairy Tail mood ever since listening to the sad Naruto soundtrack, makes me wanna finish this arc.

Anyway! Let's get into it.

Jumping through the trees of Galuna Island, the rogue Kiri Shinobi were using the explosion to make their getaway from the hideout that now was fully destroyed with a large scale of black smoke now covering the air. All their work, material, and manpower went up in flames, leaving the escaping Shinobi agitated.

"It's all gone, All that work gone up in smoke!" The spiky-haired member of Kenji's group hissed out in rage "Months of planning!"

"We know, Seiko. We know." His bold headed comrade answered him "But right now surviving is most important, be glad you weren't there when it all came down. no one could survive that."

"You think those brats and Ao got caught in it? I hope not, because I want to shred them to pieces." The sole female blonde Kiri rogue hoped to have some payback…"

"Easy Suina. We can't go back now." the bald man said to her "We'll need to re-organize and-"

"Screw that, Saburo!" Seiko roared against him "Suina is right, let's go back and-"

"SILENCE!"

The argument stopped when Kenji landed in the middle of an open field and dropped the hostage girl on the ground.

THUD!

"Hump!" Hotaru groaned in pain through the cloth in her mouth as Kenji turned to his teammates.

'SHINK!'

In front of Hotaru's eyes the blade of the former Kiri ANBU commander was stabbed right in the ground in front of the girl, frightening her hysterically that was ignored by the rogue Shinobi.

Kenji turned his emotionless gaze towards Hotaru and glared at her until she shut her mouth after being frozen in fear with that same gaze he was notorious for as he said those chilling words.

"I want blood…"

The three teammates of Kenji heard that coming from their leaders and it would be a lie to say their spines weren't feeling a reeling from hearing that, except for Saburo who was the 2nd in command of Kenji. And he knows once he had a thought like that, there was no stopping him.

"If I may suggest, there's a village we can go to." Saburo brought it up to his commander that a populated area was on this island.

Kenji chuckled upon hearing this piece of information "What are we waiting for then?" Before smirking "Oh, I know. What shall we do with our guest?"

"Humph!" Hotaru screamed through her gag, begging for mercy while tears were coming from her eyes. Showing that she was extremely frightened.

"Ku, why not let me handle her, boss." Seiko the spiky-haired man suggested with a dry laugh "I got some frustrations I need to get rid of." Everyone who knew Seiko understood what he talked about and knew that he was a sick fuck when it came to tormenting prisoners, especially when it came to young women…

"You're a real sick fuck, you know that Seiko?" The female said to her comrade gaining a chuckle from him.

"Like you expect anything else from me, Suina." He answered back to her "and, will you watch it while I do it?"

Shaking her head with a smile "Not this time, I ain't for the mood of that."

The only one who was genuinely disgusted was Saburo who commented "You two and your fetishes, absolutely disgusting."

"Let them have it, It might be even fun."

"I WONT LET YOU!"

From out of nowhere a wave of shurikens was flying right towards the rogue Kiri nin, forcing all but Seiko to step away from the hostage while he just deflected the shurikens with his kunai.

"Where did that come from!?"

Saburo landed on a tree branch nearby and shouted "Its Ao, no doubt about it. Seiko get out!"

Before the Kiri rogue could react to what he heard, Ao appeared right in front of him in a stance with his palm pointed at Seiko's chest.

"Wha-"

PUNCH!

"Palm Bottom! Ao hit his opponent right in the chest with the help of his activated Byakugan, hitting him right in his weak spot and sent Seiko away till he crashed with his full weight and back against the nearest tree.

"Seiko!"

Ao stood there before turning to Hotaru and cutting her free with his kunai and removing the gag from her mouth "You alright?"

"Yes, yes I am. But-"

"No time, run into the woods, go!" Ao said before quickly reacting to his senses and started crossing his arms-

POW!

Suina attempted a kick to Ao but failed when the veteran blocked her and pushed the woman away from her to give him the chance to stand up correctly, just when Kenji and Saburo joined her.

"Didn't you hear me, brat? GO!"

Hotaru turned around and began running into the woods as fast as she could. Leaving the veteran Ao on his own ready to hold off the traitors for her to escape. He turned back to them with a frown to which Kenji only grinned in return.

"Well Master, how does it feel facing off your old students? It must be painful for you." Kenji played and twisted the facts since Ao had known them since they were just small Genin and now was using it against him.

"Don't think I will go easy on you, Kenji." Ao said pulling out a kunai and going into a defensive position "I will end your madness right here and now."

Kenji chuckled clicking his fingers "Go after her."

The two rogue nin left their leader in pursuit of Hotaru, leaving the master and the student alone for their long-awaited fight. Kenji pulled out the blade he'd been carrying around the world and slain many foes but also innocents in his twisted mind.

"Let's end this once and for all."

Running through the thick forest, the scared and hyperventilating Hotaru was going through bushes and trees to try and get as far away from the people who in the past had hunted for her because of her bloodline like many other Kekkei Genkai families and clans who perished under the bloodlust of the Hidden Mist' 4th Mizukage and his men, she was one of the few who managed to escape their wrath as long as she could with the help of her master.

She stopped behind a tree to try and catch her breath. As frightened she is, she had to remain calm and silent to keep herself in the dark away from her pursuers.

SHLINK!

A sword spiked right through the big tree and nearly hit the girl's head and caused her to jump away from the tree just in time before the blade sliced the tree in half. The one cutting the tree was Suina who now stood just inches away from her body.

"Hello, little girl…."

Hotaru quickly reacted by trying to run away again but then Saburo grabs her head from behind and forces her down to the ground with all his weight over her body.

"You're not going anywhere, brat." Saburo said squeezing her neck to force her down "Or I'm forced to hurt you."

"P-Please., I've done nothing to your village." Hotaru teared up begging for her life "I swear I will never come back, I swear-"

"Shut up, bitch." Suina said putting her boot on her back "We're finally getting rid of you and those bloodline cockroaches. Like hell, we will allow you to live a life beyond Kiri's borders to try and retake power once we killed that bitch Terumi." She sassed at the girl before laying her blade to her neck, ready to slit her throat in half.

"Any last words?" Suina asked with a sickening grin "…Cockroach?"

"Over my dead body." Those words came from a man that stopped Suina in a frozen state.

She turns to Saburo and asked, "Was that you?"

"That was me." Hearing that made Suina turn her head around to only see a glimpse of what looked like was a-

A bubble?

BOOM!

The small yellow explosion was small but intense and knocked the female ninja to fly against her comrade's body who was also sent flying against the trees next to them. Leaving Hotaru on her own facing the ground as smoke covered the area she was stuck in.

"Master?" She recognized that attack "Master where are you!"

A hand yanked her by the shirt and pulled her away from the area, making her yell in fear as she flew into the air with her supposed rescuer.

Standing back up was Saburo with Suina's body on him, she wasn't responsive anymore and her body was pretty much exposed with burn marks on her face and arms and blood dripping out from her mouth, he checked her pulse to try and find her heartbeat.

She was dead.

Shaking his head, Saburo laid her body next to him so he could get up properly and pulled out an explosives tag and placed it on her comrade's body.

"You know that we cannot risk our secrets to be exposed, Suina. I'm sorry." He jumped away, trying to track down the girl again. When he left his comrade's body, the tag exploded.

...

Stepping onto the Beach, Erza saw that the carnage had already extended from the mountains to right now the forests on the other side of the island.

The pirate captain next to her was horrified "What's going on here?"

"That's what I'm going to find out." Erza said ordering the pirate crew "Stay here." She says starts running for the carnage that most likely was caused by her guildmates while leaving the pirates to their thoughts.

"You think they'll make it?"

"Fairy Tail Wizards? I doubt they'll be the ones who we need to fear for. If what everyone says is true, we should worry about not sinking with this island or something."

"You think that they could destroy a whole island?"

"I'm afraid to say yes, but I know not to say no."

"AAAARGH! FINALLY!" Natsu yelled finally free from the ice ball Gray had put him in attempting to stop him from helping him fight that Lyon guy.

"I need to get to the village before those bastards destroy it." He starts running for the village while shouting out in anger "Gray when I am finished with those pricks there will be hell to pay!"

...

Escaping from the scene, Utakata and Hotaru tried to maintain as much distance from the rogue Kiri nin as possible, the kimono wearing bubble pipe user managed to take out one of them at least so that would buy some time.

Landing on the ground after sprinting through the forest, Hotaru landed on the ground on her feet and sank to her knees the moment she touched the earth.

Utakata stopped next to her and said "Hotaru, we can't stop now. get up!"

Gasping for air the girl panted "I…can't…to….tired."

The long haired man shook his head and was going to comment until he noticed an kunai with an explosive tag fly towards the rock that was just a foot away from them.

"Tag, get away!" Hotaru and Utakata jumped on the last moment before the explosive tag exploded.

BOOM!

The girl barely got away as the impact of the blast send her the opposite direction to where her master was as she disappeared into the deep forest.

Utakata, on the other hand, landed on his feet and took distance from the explosion. He then tried to look around for his student who was lost again in the chaos.

"Hotaru!" he screamed looking around for her until he was forced to jump back when he was nearly slashed at by the 2nd in command Saburo who now had him where he wanted.

Utakata's eye made a glare seeing the person in front of him "Saburo."

"It's been a long time, Utakata." The bald warrior said to his old comrade "I'm sorry but its time to settle this. We've got a score to settle." The experienced hunter said to his former comrade who he knew so closely as a good friend in their early days in the Bloody Mist. But that was now over as he pointed his sword at the bubble user.

Seeing he had no other choice Utakata took his battle stance and started to wait for his opponent's next move "You leave me little choice."

Saburo quickly moved in and went on to try and deliver the first strike. Meanwhile, the kimono wearer had his hopes that his student had made it to safety.

...

Heavy breathing came from the girl who was hiding behind the biggest tree she could find. Hotaru was dealing with a lot of pressure now she was alone and wounded with these renegade bigots wanting to slice her up for the crime of being from a nearly extinct bloodline.

She sank to her knees, fully exhausted, and just tried to keep herself from doing something stupid.

"I….can't….hold on…any…longer." She said between her breathe "But….must….keep….going."

SHINK!

A sword penetrated right through the tree where Hotaru hide and cut it right in half. Causing her to freeze in fear once she realized it too late.

The one cutting it in half was Seiko who was grinning like a mad man "There you are…"

Hotaru tried to make a run for it but got pinned down to the ground hard by the sleazy bastard who knocked her out hard when she hit her head against the ground, leaving her unconscious. This made it easier for the slick man to do something he wanted to do for a long time.

"Well, works for me." He went down to his knees and started grabbing the girl's bottoms and loosening up the belt "Let's see what you got in there, sweetheart." Getting rid of the belt, he used it to tie up Hotaru's hands from behind and leaving her parts exposed. The rogue-nin knew what he was doing and wouldn't deny he did this on occasion to blow off some steam on a woman who would consent or not…

"Too bad you aren't awake now, girl." Seiko sickly chuckled while reaching for his zipper "Because I am going to rock your world." He was about to do the most disgusting act a person could do to another.

But then he suddenly stopped, like if he just froze up. The air became cold around him and he started to try and gasp for small amounts of air like he was suffocating from his throat. What he was feeling was the enormous amount of K.I that was felt through the air, the rogue ninja couldn't see who it was as the person was walking up towards him.

But he knew this power, it wasn't normal, absolutely not. There was only one person he knew could possess that and he was currently fighting Saburo.

'T-This power!

In a split second Naruto appeared behind Seiko and had his hand around the neck without the guy even giving the chance to react properly it then clicked in his mind.

'No… That can't be. Only Utakata could summon that amount of power…"

The face of Naruto was shadowed as he raised his kunai and struck into the guy with the last being the dark energy exploding and causing a shockwave across the island.

Mixed with the final scream of agony that came out of the Shinobi's mouth.

…

Outside the village

Tayuya and Chōjūrō finally managed to reach the outskirts of the village and stopped right there for the Mist Shinobi to rest his leg.

"Okay, we're here." Tayuya helped to put down the blue-haired swordsman on the ground for his leg to rest.

Chōjūrō hissed in pain while sitting down "Why don't we just go into the village just like your friend said?"

"Naruto says go to the village to try and protect it," Tayuya answered looking at the village "But we'll have to do it discreetly, we cannot allow the villagers to spot us."

"Huh, why not?" Chōjūrō was confused as Tayuya saw the villagers assembling with some of the Fairy Tail members she'd recognize.

"Let's just say that this part of the magical continent isn't much familiar with the Shinobi presence and that they want to keep it that way." Tayuya explained, "So by that, we must keep a low profile unless those Fairy Tail troublemakers need our help."

"Fairy Tail? What's that?"

"The name of the guild Naruto's part of." Tayuya answered, "Not wise to tell you about it but heck, they are some strong mages who are just as stubborn as Naruto but sure as strong as him." Just when she said that she witnesses a giant rat flying over the air right towards the village while holding what she could recognize as a bucket.

"Listen, if we take down Kenji and the others before they escape from this island, I promise you that we won't come after you or anyone else who's in Fiore" Chōjūrō promised while tending his leg "You have my word."

She scoffed "Yeah, and what about that old man, I doubt he's going to keep his mouth shut."

"Leave it to me. Lady Terumi will understand what happened here once I explain everything to her." Chōjūrō hissed through his mouth as he struck the knot of the bandages.

"And why would your Mizukage listen? Surely she would want to send more hunter-nin."

"That's not how we operate anymore." Chōjūrō responded defensively "We're trying our best to bring many of our fled comrades back to the village…"

Tayuya shook her head, not believing a word of this so-called effort from this Mizukage. It was only when the swordsman began to tell some more information.

"She's a survivor like the others, she's a user of two Kekkei Genkai bloodlines..." Chōjūrō lowered his head "…She's lost her whole family in those Purges, her parents, siblings, anyone…"

"My condolences," Tayuya offered.

A pause was present

The swordsman kept going "Many rallied behind her to put a stop to this madness, they wanted to end this war. She did that and now wants to try and convince those who fled the bloodshed to come back…but even then, many haven't."

The redhead listened and could only think about it before saying "Guess your civil war has finally ended, right?"

"It has been for almost a year. Still, many outside the village don't believe or don't want to come back."

Tayuya knew better than to continue speaking about it before more delinquent questions would be asked and pointed "Look, that rat."

The rat sprayed the whole liquid all over the village, whatever it was it caught on fire once the dragon slayer Natsu jumped up in the air and set it ablaze with a too far bright of light forcing the two to cover their eyes for a moment.

Once the bright light toned down, Chōjūrō was the first to take a peek and what he saw was unsettling to him. Everything around the small hill that was left was destroyed with the villagers in the middle surviving it.

"That power…" Chōjūrō was amazed "Is this the power of the magical continent?"

Smirking she said, "You wouldn't even believe it if I told you this was nothing…." They just kept watching as the three persons who were on the rat now were approaching the villagers and the Fairy Tail wizards.

…

A few minutes earlier

Down to ground zero, Natsu landed back on his feet after his Blaze attack had repelled the big amount of burning liquid from falling onto the village as a whole, there was still major damage but the villagers themselves were left untouched.

"The village has been completely dissolved."

"How disastrous."

One of the villagers, the old man himself was just standing there with his eyes looking hollow at his son Bobo's gravestone which had been just kicked by one of the mages, the ultimate disrespect.

The old man teared up "Bobo's grave…"

"The cult's Emperor ordered us to eradicate the village and its people." The girl said leading the group "We were trying to show mercy by making your death quick and painless." She waivered her hair before stating "But since that didn't work we should now to resort to bloodshed."

"Damn…" Natsu cursed. He just came back to the village with a beaten up Gray and was now forced with Lucy to defend this village against that guy's Lyon his people who just tried to wipe them out with an awful acid attack.

"Fifty villagers, two wizards, it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes." The blue-haired said smirking while his doglike companion made a snickered growl at the thought of fight came to his mind.

Lucy looked rather nervous with the odds they were facing, they were two against three, with Gray knocked out and the fact a big rat stood on their side. Only Natsu was a big match against the four of them while their other remaining teammate was still missing.

"Where's Naruto when you need him?"

"YAAAAAGH!"

A scream from out of nowhere erupted and was heard throughout the island, it got everybody caught off guard by both sides of the battleground. The villagers were the first to react to that horrifying scream by asking questions.

"What was that scream?"

"Was it somebody from us?"

"No, that can't be. That sounded like somebody was being murdered."

"That must've come from the mountains."

The dark mages themselves were wondering those questions as they knew a little more than anyone else who was in those mountains. The doglike Toby began to wonder first.

"You think that it was those guys Lyon has been dealing with? They're the only ones there with-"

"Hush it, Toby." Yuka shut him up breaking his calm temper "Remember the deal we've made with those people, I don't want to see a repeat of what I heard."

Sherry looked slightly nervous to the mountains, hoping that her master was alright and that it was someone else who was in such pain. To that, it left the Fairy Tail wizards to wonder what that screaming was about. Like for Lucy it already got her spine to be chilled for a moment and saw Happy talking to the pink-haired dragon slayer.

"Natsu, do you think Naruto's in trouble?" Happy asked slightly concerned "He's somewhere in there."

"I don't know, Happy. But right now we need to focus on these guys and protect the villagers. We cannot allow them to hurt these people." Natsu stated focused on the enemy.

Happy nodded to his friend and shouted: "Right, we'll show these morons what Fairy Tail is made off, right Lucy!"

Finding some courage in herself by listening to her comrades their words, the blonde celestial mage exhaled "I'm with you!"

As the remaining villagers were fleeing to safety, one of them was carrying the wounded Gray who just earlier got beaten by Lyon because of his incompetence, he now gazed his eyes up to the mountains to where Lyon was. He went back to rest as he heard his idiot friend Natsu begin to fight against the opponents with firing ablaze.

He was not finished, he'll wake back up and finishes off what he started with Lyon and respect his master's last wish.

…

In a half-destroyed field with some trees cleared or chopped in half and a few even dissolved into acid. The fight between the former ANBU members from the Hidden Mist who were in a deadlock battle where none of the two had laid a perfect hit on each other but had caused as much destruction in their surrounding area.

Saburo was breathing hard on his part as he wasn't on the same level as his opponent Utakata. His armor was partly damaged thanks to the acid attacks Utakata is specialized in had partly left his shoulders exposed and caused sideburns on his bare skin.

"Are you now fine on giving up, Saburo?" Utakata asked, "Because, for the sake of our old friendship, I really would not like to see another friend of mine die in front of me…"

"I'm sorry, my friend, but no. I won't give up." Saburo shook his head as he gripped his sword "I should've figured that fighting the Six Tailed Jinchuuriki wasn't an easy bit."

By that moment the red bubble chakra coat began to surround Utakata's arm he smokes with as he revealed his powers slightly. Yes, indeed he was a Jinchuuriki, his tailed beast was Saiken the Six Tailed Slug. With that, he was able to use dangerous substances like liquid or gas to eliminate his enemies by for instance to disintegrate its targets. A power Utakata wasn't a stranger to use but also very wary of those abilities.

"You know that from the beginning I don't fight kindly, not even in spars." Utakata reminded him dearly "These abilities are the reason why I was one of the Bloody Mist's best Shinobi back in the day."

"Before you left us and went rogue?" Saburo asked with no intent of hatred unlike others "Or when master Harusame died?"

That name brought the young man's face down to remembrance to his old master who died by what he believed was his own hands when he tried to save him from the beast within him by extracting it.

"I see…" Saburo spoke to him out of respect "I'm sorry, old friend." He disappeared from his spot by sprinting for the jinchuuriki's position with his blade to end it all.

"Yeah, me too…" Utakata spoke as he extends his arm and runs for his opponent to finish this fight.

The two would step closer and closer to one another as they were about to lay their strongest blow they could give to one another. Former comrades and veterans now were ready to fight it off to the bitter end…

PLUNCH!

The sound of flesh getting crunched was at the same time Saburo's sword swung up in the air a mile high as it fell as a sign down towards the ground before it stuck right into the earth's ground.

The swordsman's hands clinched unto the in chakra covered kimono sleeves of the jinchuuriki as it was the same arm that now was right through the chest of the dying Saburo who was now minutes away from leaving this earth while Utakata's hand was fully covered in his friend's blood.

Couching blood Saburo spoke "I lost, huh. Typically, I never won a match against you with those powers. Utakata."

"That is what Jinchuuriki are for, Saburo." The jinchuuriki responded "Those who've been given this burden are weapons for the village, peons in the wars that must be fought. Tools to be used."

"Well, you're not a tool. You're a human being so stop with that talk." Saburo spoke while coughing more blood out as he held for some life to speak "I always considered you as a friend first, a good friend and family. Nothing else."

By those words Utakata looked down, he did not show it but in reality, he was sad that another person he cared about was about to be gone.

"Whatever you're thinking of, don't dare to blame yourself or have the feeling to apologize to me. We both made our own decisions." Saburo spoke lighter as he was losing the feeling in his legs "You're a capable Shinobi, my friend. You just couldn't bear it anymore seeing everyone around you die. Just like me but you took the smart decision; by walking away."

"Saburo…"

"I've only got one request….before…I'm gone." He gave his final wishes to his friend "I want you to find my child and wife and tell them to live their lives….I've heard they've reached Fiore….arrived a year ago on a smuggler's ship to here, in Fiore"

Utakata was shocked to hear this "Aina's alive?" referring to an old comrade who fled the country amid the civil war who was Saburo's childhood love.

"Yes, she had sent me a letter she arrived in Fiore in her last message….she gave birth to a baby girl…. She named it Sabuki.." He smiled upon remembering a picture of that girl she had to send over in that last message "She named it after me…."

Seeing this was his friend's only request he promised his dying friend "Sure, my friend. I will tell her, and your daughter."

A smile cracked on the dying man as he spoke one last sentence "Thank you. At least…they'll live a life of….peace and happiness….away from all that hatred….."

Once those words were spoken, the arms of the dying shinobi dropped and a last exhale of air escaped through the mouth, and Saburo from the Mist had passed away in the arms of his best friend Utakata. He laid the body on the ground and the Jinchuuriki closed the man's eyes and spoke some hopeful words.

"May we meet again in the next world, Saburo. And I promise you, your family will be safe." Utakata promised his best friend who now laid dead in a foreign land, thousands of miles away from his homeland but only hundreds away from his beloved family he couldn't see anymore.

He was this close but also so far away.

…

A clone of Naruto had picked up the unconscious Hotaru and turned back around to the original who just grabbed any information from the recently deceased Seiko who was now lying motionless.

"What shall I do with her, boss?"

"Bring her to Tayuya and Chōjūrō, they'll look after her for the time being." He stood up and his sensor skills had picked up one less chakra user "I sense Utakata's fight is over, only one Chakra source is alive.

"Who won?"

Naruto didn't know why but he chose his words carefully "I wouldn't say who won, but his opponent has certainly passed away."

The clone looked confused "So?"

"This means that there's only that leader of the bunch is still breathing, but I can't sense him nor that guy Ao. Meaning I can't know who won or lost." He pulls out a kunai with a burn tag on it "Go and bring the girl, I need to clean it up here."

The clone nodded before jumping into the trees in search for Tayuya, leaving the original to stare at the bastard who moments earlier was trying to prey on the unconscious girl was now lying in a thick inch pool of his blood, the liquid Naruto now sorely was standing on with his shoes after he let him bleed to death.

He dropped the kunai to the ground and jumped away as the fire exploded with the body within it and burning anything with it.

From this, the search of the last survivor Kenji was now on.

Erza was walking down the small lanes and saw the amount of destruction and burning smokes across the island and now was determined.

She was going to put an end to all this madness and bring all her comrades back home, in safety.
