AN1: Fairy Tail 100 Year quest 109 was released May 31/22 and YES it does show the canon explanation of what Laxus Dragon Lacrima is. My story and explanation were released like over a year before that so obvious I had no idea. Naruto's teacher will not be that Thunder Dragon King so Laxus and his Lightning Dragon Slayer magic will not be connected to that Dragon King. (Although I will point out that God Serena ALSO has a Lightning dragon Lacrima. Just saying.
Yes I know the AN has born reposted but I know people will claim I intentionally changing canon to make Naruto 'special' hence why I will just repost the top one for awhile (so people can see I am explaining a plot point).
Fairy Tail 100 Year quest 115 was released. It showed that God Serena survived and the last three of his Dragon Lacrima-Diamond(stone), Flash(Light), dark (unnamed) along with his established other 5-Lightning (thunder), Cavern (Earth), Purgatory (Fire), Sea King (Water), Gale (wind).
For context in this story God Serena will have refined organ (heart) of the Lightning Dragon King (like Laxus did have in canon) and scales/bones from the other Dragons. Hence his Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic will be in general more effective then Laxus but less than Naruto's (as Serena will have a refined organ rather then just some leftover scales enchanted.) And just because Serena and Kirin (the 5th dragon slayer) have their magic from the "Lightning Dragon King" does not mean that Naruto own (through first generation) Lightning Dragon Slayer magic is inferior (a dragon does not need to be king to be strong after all).

AN1: There is ship like moments in this chapter and before people claim its too quick, I have had people complain that this story romance is super slow. I don't write to pander to anyone but I do have this story planned out a good chunk of the main beats.
Also a lot of this chapter was written before I posted the last six paths Jinchuriki chapter so that is why this is relatively 'quick' (I know to some people I take a long time to post anything but I write what I can and want)
Chapter 66 Kinana is no longer the same as they remember
After several hours where the revived Fairy Tail guild took the time to relax on the boat the group and Lamia Scale came to Hargeon Town where they parked the boat at the harbour.
Mavis was hovering above the group unseen to anyone except the Fairy Tail members. She was just humming to herself but kept a solemn look out the corner of her eyes.
'Despite how cheerful they are acting I can tell… They are trying to adjust to a world that has moved on without them.' Mavis thought sadly with a pang of guilt in her heart.
'I know I had to use Fairy Sphere to save them but I still am the one who cost them 7 years away from their loved ones and letting those loved ones think they perished.' Mavis mused mentally sighing.
Gray was the first one off the boat but he 'helped' Natsu get off the boat. Mainly he grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him off the boat making Natsu land onto the harbour itself with a thud.
"Groan! Hmm? What was that for Gray?!" Natsu yelled as his motion sickness had subsided once he was on solid ground again as he glared at Gray looking ready to light his fists on fire.
"What? You mad I got you off the boat? I mean if it was up to you then they would be parked here for another day while you acted like a slug trying to slide your butt off the boat. It's not my fault you are pathetic enough to be incapacitated from a simple boat ride." Gray replied with a shrug but his smirk showed he enjoyed at least somewhat the excuse to toss Natsu like a pule of potatoes.
Natsu growled before he looked down at his feet as if he just realized he was no longer on the boat. He dashed forward as Gray looked ready to defend himself only to grunt with his eyes wide when Natsu brought him into a tight hug.
"Thank you so much buddy! You are the best! Gray you are my best friend ever!" Natsu claimed as he kept a tight hug on Gray even as Gray looked abit creeped out and rather uncomfortable.
"Hey! Get off my buddy! This is so weird for you to hug me like that!" Gray demanded as he attempted to squeeze out of Natsu grip but Natsu refused to let go.
"Never! You saved me from the boat so if I let go I might have to go back onto that devil device!" Natsu rationalized while almost everyone else sweatdropped at Natsu thinking.
"How exactly is holding onto Gray going to stop Natsu from getting on a boat again? If Gray limps onto a boat that Natsu would be dragged along as well." Lucy whispered to Lisanna with an unimpressed look.
"Hehe… Try to not think too hard on it Lucy… Natsu will be Natsu after all. Its still better then them fighting all the time right?" Lisanna asked nervously rubbing her head in embarrassment for her childhood friend as she closed her eyes.
Juvia was glaring at Natsu with suspicious eyes as Cana just laughed at Juvia's actions.
"New Rival in love?! My believed Gray-sama is liking this attention as well? Juvia-chan is getting pushed out of Gray-sama's heart?" Juvia gasped in shock and fear.
"Hehe. That is cute Juvia but I think you are fine. I feel Gray is the person who wants that kind of relationship with Natsu least of all." Cana assured Juvia but couldn't help an amused smile on her face.
Erza was smiling happily as she got off the boat and clapped her hands with a pleased smile.
"That is excellent. It is a heartwarming sight for you two to get along so well! It pleases me to no end that you are still such great friends outside of jobs!" Erza declared seemingly clueless at Natsu and Gray rivalry once again.
Everyone gave flat looks at Erza but nobody seemed particularly interested in contradicting her out loud.
'That woman… She is insanely powerful but she still seems to see things in a way no one else can see…' Carla noted but like everyone else she kept her thoughts quiet in front of Erza.
Ironically the one person who seemed to support Gray and Natsu having a more loving friendship was the one person who could break any form of that happening with the two men. Hearing Erza's voice made Natsu and Gray shudder In fear by instinct even as Natsu quickly let go of Gray and kept a foot away from him.
"Uh well… I wouldn't call us 'great friends' Erza…" Natsu noted quietly not looking Erza in the eyes.
"Yeah, I would say 'teammates' much closer to what we are…' Gra added seemingly to claim they only worked together due to being on the same team.
Mira giggled at Erza continued smile as if she still thought they were the best of the friends.
'Oh Erza-chan. You are certainly the one person they both fear above all others. You really are somebody special.' Mira noted as she and her siblings walked off the boat.
Spoon the rest of the guild left the boat leaving Lamia Scale and Ichiya being the only ones left on the boat. Ichiya had tried to jump onto Erza one final time but an irate Erza backhanded him with an armoured fist back onto the boat with a lump of his head. Juvia had kept a healthy distance away from Gray but kept her stare at anyone within range of Gray who gotten Erza and Lucy in between him and Natsu.
"I hope the rest of your journey will be quiet and peaceful. Sorry we have to drop ypu off here but we do need to off Ichiya at Blue Pegasus and then go back to Lamia Scale ourselves." Lyon apologized with a frown.
Makarov shook his head and smiled at Lyon.
"It is more then alright my child. We are grateful went to Tenrou Island in the first place and even took us all the way to Hargeon Town. We will not forget how you out of the way you went for us. Next time you are in town we will have a party or celebration to repay our debt." Makarov assured him as gave a grateful smile.
Lyon nodded as him and Sherry gave the guild a wave as they began preparations to set off again.
"No thanks are needed Master Makarov. Our guilds worked well together in the past and ang with Jura we consider Fairy Tail our friends and allies." Lyon noted with a smile.
"Juvia my love! Till we meet again! My heart will be crying until that day we unite and our passions can become one!" Lyon declared as he placed a hand over his heart and he began to cry tears seemingly to show his dedication to the Water Mage.
Lucy actually smirked when the usually calm Juvia actually looked flustered especially when Happy teased Juvia for once.
"He LOVES you!" Happy sang but then he flew away when ice shard formed and shot at him from an irate Gray.
"Lyon-san…. I don't…. I already…. Love…." Juvia stuttered seemingly not used to getting open affection like Lyon was giving to her as she looked down and placed her hands on her cheeks.
'What will Gray-sama think of Juvia-chan if Lyon-san tries to win her heart? Will Gray-sama misunderstand if Juvia-chan tries to let Lyon-san down gently?' Juvia thought in worry as she glanced at the irate Gray who was glaring at Lyon.
However, Lyon seemed to take Juvia stuttering in a different manner then she intended.
"Oh my Juvia! I understand! I am being too forward and you need time to understand your feelings for me! I can wait as long as you need to sort your feelings and realize we were meant to be together my love!" Lyon declared as his eyes where hearts much to Juvia emberassment and chagrin.
"Wow… He is totally not getting she is not interested in him… Is this what is called having blind love?" Sherry noted looking rather unimpressed as she put a hand on her hip and slapped her face in embarrassment and sighed.
"Man! Why does Erza-chan reject my love?" Ichiya asked with 'manly' tears but nobody paid him any attention.
Gray grit his as he slammed his right fist into her left open palm as a magic circle appeared.
"Why don't you get out of here and go back to Lamia Scale already? You already such a pain Lyon! Get out of here and stop bothering us! Ice-make Hammer!" Gray shouted as his Ice-Make magic formed a hammer which he used to hit the boat and forced it to start sailing away.
"Goodbye Fairy Tail! Till we meet again! Our paths shall meet again, I am sure!" Sherry yelled out cheerfully as she waved making her large breasts bounce freely to the enjoyment of Makarov and Gildarts.
"Farewell my love! I shall give you all the time in the world to see we belong together!" Lyon shouted even as Gray gave him some interesting choice words.
"Get out of here!" Gray retorted even as Lyon laughed off his rude behaviour.
"Sherry! Lyon! Remember to pass on this message to Sherria-chan for me! If she ever wants to join Fairy Tail the offer still remains! She can join Fairy Tail with open arms!" Naruto shouted as Makarov hummed but nodded showing his approval.
"Stop poaching for Fairy Tail! Sherria is our guild member not yours!" Lyon shouted as he seemed to be rather indignant and no longer thinking of Juvia making Juvia give a sigh of relief.
Naruto laughed before an easy going grin appeared on his face.
"Well tell her if she wants a fight then I will be ready anytime and any place! As her former teacher I will eagerly await her challenge and see how strong she has become in her spare time!" Naruto added with a hint of pride in his voice.
Sherry and Lyon shared an amused smirk even as the ship was sailing them off to the distance.
"You might regret that Naruto Uzumaki! Our dear Sherria has been training for years and she might surprise you in the end!" Sherry warned him as Lamia Scale finally sailed off so the Fairy Tail members could no longer hear them any longer.
Naruto just closed his eyes and kept a smirk which slowly turned into a sincere smile.
"I will be waiting. As her former teacher nothing would make me happy to see her try to surpass me. That is the role of a teacher of course. To see your students take on the best of your lessons and become better then what came before them." Naruto mused before he opened his eyes when he felt soft pair of hands grab his wrist.
"Sensei… I want to see Sherria-chan too but we have to go back to the guild now." Wendy reminded him softly as she gazed up at him with sympathy and pride.
Naruto smiled even as Wendy released his wrists so he could place his right hand on her head and rub her soft long blue locks.
"I know Wendy-chan. We shall see her again soon. I can feel it." Naruto added warmly as Wendy just beamed up at him and even gave a pleased hum when Naruto marvelled at how long and soft her hair was.
The Sky Dragon duo soon jogged to catch up with the rest of Fairy Tail. Naruto couldn't help an amused smile at how grumpy Gray appeared to be while Juvia looked still flustered as she kept looking back to Gray as if she was caught cheating on him.
Soon the group from Fairy Tail got crowds of people giving them wide eyed stares as they whispered and pointed at them.
"Aren't they members of Fairy Tail?"
"Didn't they vanish 7 years ago?"
"Yeah, they made internation news and I heard they even had a funeral for them!"
"Why don't they seem to be aged at all?"
"Is that what happens when you come back to life? You stay the same?"
Were the whispers the group heard as they continued to walk past the on-going crowd who gave them a wide berth but kept pointing and staring at them.
"Master…" Erza looked at Makarov who sighed but kept his head up high.
"Just keep walking. I am sure soon enough it will be well known across Fiore we survived and we will be yesterday news soon enough. Now the important thing is to get home and greet the rest of our family." Makarov said sternly with Erza and everyone looking at him and nodding.
"Wait a minute is that Natsu Dragneel? The Salamander?!" One man asked as he pointed at Natsu who grinned even as he got several more people pointing at him specifically.
"Ha! I am so awesome I got a fan club! Everyone can just line up and I can sign everyone for everyone autographs latter! Take that Gray!" Natsu stated smugly as he grinned at Gray who scowled.
"Sheesh Natsu. I don't need people to kiss my boots to do my job." Gray retorted while Natsu kept grinning.
Wendy looked at the faces but they did not look happy and rather looked rather annoyed as recognition started to appear on their faces.
"Uh… Natsu-san?" Wendy asked meekly as she grabbed the Natsu's shirt to give a small tug.
Everyone stopped to look down at the young-looking Dragon Slayer with concerned looks.
"What's up Wendy? Do you want me to carry you on my shoulders?" Natsu asked cheerfully even he shuddered when he felt an aura od death coming from Naruto. AN2:
'She's my student Natsu. Back off!' Naruto mentally portrayed as his eye twitched and his shoulder seemed to clench.
'Wooh… Naruto-kun might go nuclear in this harbour if he gets pushed too far. Hehe…. He is usually the calmest one of us but when it comes to people, he cares about there is no one who is more passionate than him. He is definitely quite the man.' Mira thought with a smile seemingly not finding his protective actions off putting.
"Uh actually never mind. So what's up Wendy?" Natsu rescinded his offer as his survival instincts seemed to pop up.
"Um… I don't think these people are here for autographs Natsu-san… They look kinda mad." Wendy pointed out as she gestured to the people who were now glaring at Natsu with recognition.
"This guy is the one who destroyed our marina over 7 years ago!" The same man pointed out.
"Yeah, he summoned that massive fireball and it destroyed the marina in that giant explosion!"
"Do you know how long it took to fix it?"
"Or how much money it cost?!" Several people screamed at Natsu who rubbed his head as he seemed to remember.
"Oh yeah… Now I remember why this place was so familiar…" Natsu remarked as the rest of the guild sighed at his actions.
Laxus face palmed as he looked down at Natsu with disappointment.
"Natsu… Your actions bring shame to Fairy Tail's name. It is no wonder that normal people think our guild is no more then brutes at time." Laxus noted seemingly not noticing his slip up at 'our' guild despite still being banished.
Natsu then pointed at Lucy who jumped in surprise.
"Hey! I only destroyed the marina because I was saving Lucy in the first place!" Natsu yelled out even as Erza and Gray gave him flat looks for blaming Lucy for being a victim.
"Don't bring my name into this! I like this port!" Lucy gasped with wide eyes when she started to get suspicious looks.
Makarov sighed as Gildarts laughed at Natsu's actions.
"Alright alright. Let's get moving. Come on Natsu." Makarov declared as he prepared to drag Natsu back to Magnolia Town before he could make things worst.
The people kept their glare at Natsu and to a lesser degree Lucy even as the guild started to walk away.
"…" Naruto looked contemplative before he sighed and stopped getting everyone's attention.
"Sensei? What's wrong?" Wendy asked cutely as Naruto took another deep breath.
"As a member of Fairy Tail and the teammate of Lucy and Natsu I would like to offer my sincere apologies for the damages done to your town." Naruto apologized as he bent down to a knee and closed his eyes showing his sincerity.
The townspeople were wide eyed at the powerful mages words and actions while the guild looked at Naruto in surprise.
"Uh… Well I mean we aren't mad at Fairy Tail specifically… We just annoyed at Salamander for his destructive actions towards us." The first man explained awkwardly as he rubbed his head.
Gray looked at Naruto rather incredulously and in disbelief.
"Uh dude… That was all Natsu. You definitely don't need to apologize for his reckless actions. If anything, you seem to be exceedingly good at reducing the damages to buildings while he causes damages like no one's business." Gray pointed out.
"We are still teammates though. In my eyes we should help each other out when we need to and help each other take responsibility for our actions." Naruto explained gently as he got off his knee and smiled easily.
Happy tilted his head as he put a hand on his chin.
"But you weren't even part of the guild when Natsu destroyed the harbour. Why should you take responsibility for his actions from before you were teammates?" Happy asked.
Naruto just waved him off with a laugh before he turned to the man who was most angry at Natsu.
"Now if you can bring up the expenses your town needed to fix the marina, I will happily look them over and discuss a payment plan." Naruto stated professionally.
Seeing his guild mates protest Naruto raised a hand up to silence them.
"This is me taking responsibility but only as myself. This isn't really something Fairy Tail is involved with in my opinion. Just go on ahead and I will meet you guys back in the guild." Naruto explained as he gestured to the direction of Magnolia Town with a head tilt.
After a few moments Makarov sighed and started to walk off.
"Catch up soon alright my boy? I am sure the rest of the guild will want to hear from you soon as well." Makarov noted as Naruto nodded.
"Of course, Master. I will be back at the guild before you know it." Naruto promised.
After getting nods from the rest of the guild and waving off Natsu guilty expression, the guild walked off towards Magnolia Town. Mavis looked questionably at him but he waved her off.
'Later. Have fun Mavis-chan.' Naruto mouthed out as Mavis looked at him for a moment before nodding. She floated after the guild listening to their happy chatter.
Wendy stopped and looked back at Naruto with a serious expression.
"Sensei. If you take too long, I will come back myself and drag you back to the guild myself. I am warning you to come home soon." Wendy warned with a frown.
"Aw! My student is berating me! That is so cute! You are still adorable even when you are trying to be serious my dear Wendy-chan!" Naruto noted with a grin which widened when Wendy's cheeks turned red from embarrassment making her look even more adorable.
"Sensei! Take this seriously! I will be waiting for you at the guildhall." Wendy whined before her expression turned serious as her brown eyes gazed into Naruto's blue eyes.
"… My student sure has gotten sassy huh? I am so proud to call you mine." Naruto noted as his eyes closed. A proud smile appeared before he opened his eyes and nodded down at Wendy.
"Don't worry Wendy-chan. I will be home before you know it!" Naruto promised as he squatted down to be at Wendy's shorter level.
Naruto raised his right closed fist forward as Wendy looked at the fist for a moment. Wendy nodded before she used her own right closed fist and fist bumped her Sensei. Wendy scowled and pouted when Naruto raised his left hand to ruffle her long blue hair and make it slightly Fritzy when he ruffled it.
Wendy quickly used her hands to swat Naruto's away from her hair and then quickly brushed it lightly with her hands and Sky Dragon magic to make her hair back to its neat formation. Wendy dashed forward to catch up with the rest of the guild after giving one last cheerful wave which was reciprocated from Naruto.
"Now shall we discuss the bills?" Naruto asked cheerfully as the crowd blinked before they started to go about their business and the man seemed to groggily walk towards the Town center.
"I can't believe we are actually get reimbursed for the damages… This is really happening." The man mumbled in disbelief getting a chuckle from Naruto in amusement. The man walked off seemingly to get copies of the repair bills.
"Sir? Are you really Naruto Uzumaki?" A teenage girl who appeared to be about Wendy's age asked cutely with her bright blue eyes and red hair making Naruto smile.
"Yup! Is there something you want to ask me Ms…?" Naruto asked kindly as he bent to look down at the young girl who was with an older woman who appeared to be her mother who shared the same blue eyes but brown hair.
"Lumine sir! A pleasure to meet you!" Lumine stated with her bright eyes sparkling as she beamed looking rather pleased to talk to Naruto. AN3:
"Mama and Papa told me stories of the legendary Naruto Uzumaki and how despite being from Fairy Tail he was someone to look up to!" Lumine chirped as Naruto tilted his head and hummed.
"Hehe 'despite being from Fairy Tail' huh." Naruto repeated with a slight sigh with his head down for a moment. He saw Lumine mother wince and give him a look of sympathy as he waved her off subtly to show he didn't have any real bad feelings for the description.
"Sorry about the members of my guild. They aren't bad people they just lack restraint sometimes and go overboard. Its just the way of the Fairy Tail way." Naruto explained as Lumine tilted her head in a rather cute way making Naruto smile softly at the young girl.
"But not you? Papa says you go around helping people instead of destroying things. Before you died or disappeared?" Lumine commented thoughtlessly with the innocence of a child.
"Lumine!" Lumine mother chided as Lumine put her hands over her mouth in horror as she seemed to understand what she was saying.
"Sorry! I didn't mean it like that!" Lumine apologized quickly as she hung her head down in shame.
Naruto just shook his head and squatted down and placed a hand on Lumine hair making Lumine look up as he lightly pressed down on the girl.
"It's alright. I bet it is pretty confusing for people from Fairy Tail to come back after 7 years when everyone says we died right?" Naruto asked gently as Lumine looked confused with her eyes wide in a cute way.
Lumine mother sighed in relief and nodding confirming what he said.
"I am sure news will spread after today about out return and your questions will be answered when the time comes." Naruto replied although he was looking at Lumine mother when he said that.
"As for you Lumine-chan. Please have this gift from me for being such a sweet little girl. Remember to listen to your Mama and Papa alright?" Naruto asked shifting his attention to the young girl who grinned up at him.
"I promise Naruto-san!" Lumine chirped seemingly rather happy at the praise and the idea of getting a gift.
Naruto smiled as he moved his hand from her head and stood up. Naruto closed his eyes as he seemed to focus and then with a flick of his wrist light appeared to gather in his hand and form a doll. The doll was small enough to fit into Lumine arms and looked like a chibi version of Lumine herself with the same colour blonde hair and blue eyes except she wore a white dress that went to her lower thighs and thigh high white boots that went a few inches below the skirt length. While the real Lumine was wearing blue pants and black shirt.
"This Lumine will be my gift to you Lumine. Keep her safe for me alright little one?" Naruto told the ecstatic girl who squealed as Naruto handed her the gift.
"I promise I will cherish her Naruto-san! Look mama! He made a small Lumine out of air itself! Its so cool and cute! I love it!" Lumine squealed in rapid fire as she showed off the Doll Lumine to her mother rubbing her face against the dolls face.
Lumine mother took her child's hand with her own and looked at Naruto discreetly.
'Magic.' Naruto mouthed out getting a nod from Lumine mother.
"Thank you, Naruto Uzumaki. May you have good fortune from now on." Lumine mother praised as she gave a quick bow which Naruto returned.
"Take care of your girl. She will likely have many adventures in the future and having loving parents like yourself and your husband will help her out." Naruto told her kindly as the mother nodded.
Naruto then smiled widely seeing the happy expression on Lumine before he flicked his wrist as several slips of papers appeared which was Jewels appeared and flown into the surprised mother's face.
"Lumine do you like ice cream? Do you have a favorite flavour?" Naruto asked cheerfully as a wide grin appeared on Lumine's face.
"Uh huh! I love ice cream! Mama and Papa don't let me eat it much but I love strawberry ice cream!" Lumine chirped as she bounced on her feet.
Naruto turned to the exasperated mother who gently slapped her face making Naruto chuckle.
"Consider your next ice cream treat on me. However, only if you mother says its okay. Listen to your parents alright Lumine-chan?" Naruto asked the young girl.
Lumine nodded and looked up at her mother who sighed but then smiled.
"Alright. We can go for ice cream but only after you eat your supper and all your veggies." The mother declared as Lumine squealed and hugged her mother's legs.
"Bye bye Naruto-san! Till we meet again!" Lumine chanted as Naruto smiled and waved.
"It was very nice to meet you too Lumine." Naruto told her warmly.
Lumine and Lumine mother walked away hand in hand but Lumine turned around to wave at Naruto one last time after letting her mother hold onto Doll Lumine for a moment. Naruto smiled as he waved back at Lumine before they walked away.
Soon the man came back with a stack of papers which were clearly bills looking nervously.
"Um Naruto-san… These are the bills for all the damages that were caused by Salamander." The man noted nervously as Naruto took a quick look at the bills and sighed.
"All those huh. Alright let's take a look." Naruto said as they walked over to a bench as Naruto started to look over the damages.
After several minutes Naruto sighed before he looked up at the sky.
'Dammit Natsu. This is the result of your reckless actions. You really don't understand its not just a building or just a port. This is people's lively hoods and somebody has to pay for it. No wonder the Magic Council was constantly on Fairy Tail's ass all the time.' Naruto thought with a sigh before a smirk appeared.
"Nothing we can do about the past but here this should cover everything including the labour required." Naruto stated as he flicked his wrist.
There was a puff of smoke before a bag appeared in mid air before Naruto sent a small burst of Sky Dragon magic to push into the man arms. The man winced in surprise when he slouched slightly from the surprisingly heavy bag. The man looked inside the bag and was wide eyed.
"This is!" The man shouted getting attention from several people came around due to the shout.
"Just consider this the least I can do on behalf of Fairy Tail. May this port and town have many fortune from now on." Naruto replied back easily as he got up from the bench and started to walk off.
"What is it?" Another man asked the first man.
"In this bag is easily all the costs of the repairs and labours and maybe even more then that!" the First man declared as everyone was wide eyed.
"Thank you, Naruto Uzumaki!"
"Come back anytime!"
"Three cheers for the Hero Naruto Uzumaki!" The people cheered as Naruto smiled softly.
Naruto walked out of town after giving a few waves before he could be swarmed with grateful people. He did see the first man ran to the Town Hall presumably to deposit the Jewels into the Town treasury.
"Now to head off to Fairy Tail. I wonder how everyone is? It's been 7 years after all and unlike me time didn't stop for them." Naruto mused as he continued his walk back to Magnolia Town.
Naruto walked for a moment before his head jolted forward as he shuddered.
"Hmm… This feeling… It doesn't feel good. I better check it out." Naruto mumbled as he looked forward with a determined look.
Naruto body emitted blue Lightning as he dashed forward in an eagle like motion with his head forward and his arms behind his back. There was a subtle wind like aura around him as he used the wind and lightning to increase his speed as he appeared little more then a blur as he dashed quickly towards Magnolia Town.
He rapidly passed by his guild mates who were on their way to Magnolia Town and even though he jumped above them so he wouldn't crash into them the tornado like arua around still made his guildmates get pushed back slightly as he dashed past them.
"Hey what was that? A tornado that ran past us?" Natsu demanded as everyone stood up and saw the Tornado continue on its way to Magnolia town.
"It was just wind. I sensed Lightning as well in the center of the wind." Laxus noted with his eyes narrowed in a serious expression with his arms crossed.
"Wind and Lightning huh." Makarov noted as he looked over at Gildarts who pressed his fist into his palm in realization.
"Ah it must be Naruto then. He is the only brat we know who can use them both although I didn't know he could use them like this to increase his speed. He seemed to be in quite the rush." Gildarts noted as the group started to walk towards Magnolia Town.
Lucy exchanged a look with Erza who nodded.
"Something freaked out Naruto if he going out of his way to use his Dragon Slayer magic like this. If I had to guess its something to do with the guild or guild hall." Lucy noted as Erza gave her nod of agreement.
"Then no time to waste! Lets get back to the guild double time!" Makarov declared as he guild gave their shouts as they started to run back to Magnolia Town.
Soon Naruto was back in Magnolia Town as he dashed from roof to roof with his control showing as he didn't damage the buildings despite leaping off roof to roof. Naruto Dragon Slayer hearing soon picked up something from the Fairy Tail Guild Hall.
"Come on pretty lady! You might not be a mage but you are worthy of a wizard like me!" A cocky male voice stated as it appeared the voice was with filled with lust.
"No! Let me go!" A woman stated in fear as he could hear a struggle.
"Come on baby don't play hard to get!" The same male voice purred as the struggle continue.
"Let go of her you jerk or you will feel Fairy Tail wrath!" A different male voice stated angrily along with another male voice.
Naruto silently growled as he dashed towards the guild where faint traces of scents, he recognized wafted into his nose. He soon reached the guild hall and deactivated his wind and Lightning cloaks before he waved his arm. There was a violent crash as he used Sky Dragon magic to force open the doors as they stayed on the hinges but forced open with a boom.
Naruto walked in to see two men looking at a pretty purple haired woman with a notable busty figure with one man even grabbing her wrist. The pretty woman was clearly in distress as she struggled to get free with two other men behind her looking ready to fight.
Naruto growled as he seemed to vanish in a burst of speed before appearing in between the woman and the man who was harassing her. Naruto grabbed the man's wrist before he yanked it away from the woman slim wrist and held his wrist in his hand roughly.
"Hey! Who the heck do you think you are?" The man asked angrily seeing the pretty woman run behind the other two men for safety.
"Yeah do you know who are you grabbing! We are members of Twilight Ogre and not weaklings like Fairy Tail!" The other man who was clearly someone in the same guild as the first one.
"Shut up! Don't you dare talk down to Fairy Tail you lackey!" One of the two men in front of the woman growled before he stopped when Naruto raised his other hand up.
"Wait…! Macao! That spikey blonde hair! It couldn't be!" The other man stated in realization as his eyes were wide.
"Wait! You don't mean that he is? Wakaba you sure? You! You're back?!" Macao asked as he looked at Naruto and studied his back and his spikey blonde haor that seemed very familiar.
The young woman gasped as she placed her hands over her mouth with her eyes starting to water.
'Naruto-kun! You are alive! You came back and you are here now! You even went out of your way to save me!' Kinana thought with poor joy with her heart filling with affection.
"I don't care who the heck yu are! You are going to pay you brat!" The first man declared as he swung the fist that was not grabbed by Naruto with all his strength.
Naruto had a neutral expression before he quickly slid away from the blow before he lightly tightened his grip on the man's wrist. Everyone eyes widened when there was a loud and visible crack as the man screamed as his wrist was broken instantly. The man fell down to his knees as he tried to nurse his broken wrist.
"You brat! You are dead!" The other man declared as he brought a knife out of his pocket. The knife was soon covered in a flaming aura showing it was imbued with some sort of Fire magic as he stabbed it towards Naruto's face. Naruto didn't even blink as he stepped forward into the man's guard making his shock at Naruto's speed and reaction time.
Naruto jabbed his elbow into the man's gut as the man eyes seemed to almost bulge out of his face as he stumbled onto his knees as the powerful blow almost made him unconscious in one blow.
"Who or what are you?!" The second man gasped in pain as the flaming aura vanished from the knife as it clanked onto the floor.
Naruto ignored them to turn to the young woman and the two older man.
"Are you alright? They didn't hurt any of you?" Naruto asked seriously but he was only looking at the young woman in the eyes while glancing at the two older men out the corner of his eyes.
"You…. It can't be…" The man with dark blue hair mumbled as he was still gaping in disbelief.
"You came back… After all this time…" The young woman mumbled as she placed her hands over her mouth with her eyes glittering with hope.
Naruto grinned and crossed his arms before pointing to his forehead.
"Aw! No hugs? I mean it has been a while but I didn't think you all forgot about me after 7 years!" Naruto asked in a joking but with a note of irony in his tone.
The first man despite his pain finally got his wits enough to study Naruto before his mouth dropped in realization.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" The first man stuttered as he managed to point at Naruto despite his broken wrist as Naruto turned around to give them a barely hidden look of annoyance and disgust.
"Yes? Are you finally starting to get blood to your brain or do you need me to knock you around again?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow looking at the Twilight Ogre members and tapping his feet impatiently.
The second man stumbled onto his knees as he looked at his friend with astonishment.
"Why are you gaping? IF we get the rest of the guild here then these wannabe losers will be bowing down to us in no time!" The second man insisted before he heard laughter from the Fairy Tail members.
The brown haired and blue haired older men from Fairy Tail started to laugh with them holding their stomach as if the second man said something funny. Even the young woman couldn't hide a few giggles.
"Man, you guys are so screwed now!" The brown-haired man stated AN4: as the first man from Twilight Ogre limped over to smack his friend with his shoulder.
"Look closer idiot! That spikey blonde haired, those blue eyes and those whiskers! It can only be….!" The first man noted with terror.
The second man then took a moment to study Naruto before his eyes widened in fear.
"It can't be! He is supposed to be dead! Is he a ghost?!" The second man asked in terror as he pointed at Naruto.
"Alright then I will introduce myself. I am Fairy Tail S-class wizard Naruto Uzumaki! Don't forget it again!" Naruto revealed as he pointed at his face with his thumb with a smirk.
Then his face turned cold and serious took a step forward making both members of Twilight Ogre quaking in fear.
"Those people you were harassing and talking bad about are members of Fairy Tail like me and I don't take it lightly when they are insulted or threatened!" Naruto yelled as blue Lightning sparked around him leaving the smell of Ozone in the air.
The young woman looked at Naruto with glee and respect while the two older men grinned at his declaration.
"Eep! We are sorry! Please forgive us! We didn't mean to insult Fairy Tail!" The men pleaded as they got on their hands and knees.
Naruto glared down at the men before he sighed and took another step forward making the men quake even more in fear. Naruto roughly grabbed the men by their wrists making them ache in pain but still look terrified even as their injuries throbbed.
Naruto gave them one glare before his hands glowed blue making the men close their eyes in fear of what they thought would be their final moments. They opened their eyes in surprise and shock when instead of pain their wounds and injuries actually healed. Naruto Sky Dragon magic had quickly healed their pain as Naruto quickly released them making them stumble onto their feet.
"One time." Naruto stated as he used his right pointer finger in the air to show his point.
"One?" The first man stuttered as still looked ready to bow to his knees if needed.
"One warning. This will be the only time I tolerate actions like this. Never do it again around me or around any members of Fairy Tail. Do you understand?" Naruto asked with his eyes cold showing how serious he was.
The two men looked at each other and bowed rapidly looking like they were reborn again.
"Yes yes! I understand!" The First man chanted rapidly.
"Thank you! Thank you! We will never do it again! We promise!" The second man swore also bowing rapidly.
"Alright then… Go back to your guild and give them the warning. I will not tolerate it again and if I hear or even suspect Twilight Ogre has not heard me correctly then we will have a problem." Naruto warned as he looked at the two men with disgust.
"Yes yes! We will pass your message to our guild mates and make sure they understand it is not to be taken lightly! I swear it on my mother's name!" The second man promised.
The two men looked ready to leave before Naruto gave them one last set of words.
"Let me be clear. By 'problem' I mean I will personally come to your guild and have some not so nice words. It will not be pleasant. Now please get the heck out of my guild hall and go scurrying back to your guild like rats you are." Naruto clarified before a bright smile appeared on his face as he pointed to the door with a head tilt.
The two men looked at each other before they dashed out of the guild like their pants were on actual fire.
"We are sorry! We won't bother you guys again! Please let us live!" The men screamed as they ran through the doors but luckily the door was still on its hinges.
Naruto then turned to the group as he grinned.
"Sorry about all that. I just hate bullies and them picking on you just made my blood boil. I had to say something." Naruto apologized before his eyes looked them over.
"I know 7 years have past so let me guess who you are. Macao, Wakaba and Kinana-chan right?" Naruto asked as he pointed to each of them one at a time.
"Uh Yeah… Wow you really did not age a single day after all this time huh?" Macao noted as Naruto shook his hand.
"Yeah kid… You looking like that makes us old guys feel even older. Welcome back Naruto." Wakaba complained but shook Naruto's hand when Naruto laughed.
"I…. Naruto-kun… You really did come back to life… You also… saved me again…." Kinana whispered as her eyes started to water as she looked down ready to cry tears of happiness and relief.
Kinana gasped when Naruto took her chin with one hand to lift it up and used his other hand to wipe her tears away gently as he looked sadly at her.
"I am sorry I made you worry about me. I didn't mean to leave and vanish for 7 years… Some things happened that was out of my control but I am back now for good." Naruto assured her warmly as his eyes stared into bright green eyes seeking forgiveness.
This made Kinana gasp at his kindness and vulnerabilities before she decided here and now she would have this moment she was waiting for. Kinana threw herself at him as she buried her face into his neck and wrapped her slim arms around his shoulders.
"It's okay. I am just happy you are here now Naruto-kun and I want to thank you for coming back." Kinana whispered in heartfelt one as she closed her eyes and just enjoyed the contact. She notably leaned into his neck and sighed in contentment inhaling Naruto's scent.
Naruto was wide eyed for a moment and was about to say something but then saw how comfortable and how happy Kinana was so he decided to just let it be. Naruto wrapped his arms around her thin waist and curvy back making her sigh in contentment.
'Kinana-chan really has become quite the woman in the 7 years. She is no longer a teen. She is a woman.' Naruto mused as he enjoyed how her body felt against his as he mature and busty figure was pressed right against his chest and body.
It also didn't help that her sweet scent was wafting directly into his enhanced nose and he rather enjoyed her unique scent and how warm her body felt in his arms.
'Hmm even if it wasn't a Dragon Slayer with an enhanced sense of smell, I would find it hard to not enjoy Kinana-chan pressed right against me and getting to hold her so intimately like this. She must really feel comfortably and safe around me to put herself in such a position.' Naruto mused as he just held her and watched her purple hair as she subtly moved her head against his neck seemingly getting more comfortable.
The duo just held each other for several minutes before he could detect jealously flowing from Macao and Wakaba who were subtly but not completely quiet about their displeasure.
"Sheesh! I have been asking Kinana out for about 3 years ever since she turned 17 and developed into a babe and she has always rejected me!" Wakaba whispered in depression and jealously.
'Wow. Kinana is a woman but she is way too young for you and less then half you age. If you are that desperate go hit on single housewives.' Naruto thought unimpressed while still enjoying Kinana pressed into him happily.
"Lucky kid. He comes back for 5 minutes and one of the best-looking ones we have left is all over him." Macao whispered with a sigh.
'Wow. Gee I wonder why Kinana and other girls are not interested in you. Maybe try to learn about a girl besides her measurements and then maybe they would be more interested in talking to you? Also maybe try someone closer to your own age Pervy Old Guy?' Naruto thought drily taking another small whiff of Kinana sweet smelling hair as if to memorize it.
Kinana then blushed as if she realized what she had done in the spur of the moment. Naruto could feel her blush and face heating up and decided it was enough for now. Naruto pulled back with Kinana fanning her face for a moment but her eyes showed her disappointment at the lack of physical contact.
"Sorry Kinana-chan. I don't know what came over me. It was pretty sudden for me to hug out of no where especially as its been awhile since we have seen each other." Naruto apologized randomly getting confused looks from Kinana, Wakaba and Macao.
'Ah I see. He is trying to let off the hook for hugging him out of nowhere but making it sound like it his idea. It's kinda unnecessary as Macao-san and Wakaba-san saw me throw myself into Naruto's arms but its still very sweet.' Kinana thought with a blush.
Kinana shook her head allowing her to make her blush recede before she gave a grateful and beautiful smile.
"It's okay Naruto-kun. You give rather good hugs… I enjoyed it and so no harm no foul hehe." Kinana stated warmly as her smile was sincere and heartwarming.
"Thank Kinana-chan. I missed you. Thank you for letting me hug you out of nowhere." Naruto replied just as sincerely with a warm smile in return.
Kinana blushed and looked to the side of Naruto with her cheeks being slightly pink.
"You're welcome, Naruto-kun! I missed you too!" Kinana blurted out making her face turn red but she looked pleased when Naruto smiled warmly at her and gently grasped her hand in an intimate motion.
"Lucky Brat!" Macao and Wakaba shouted together as Naruto rolled his eyes and Kinana looked slightly uncomfortable for a moment.
"Kinana-chan. Can I say this? You have grown up to be a beautiful young woman. The years have been good on you." Naruto noted as he gave her a quick look over.
"Thank you…. You look very nice and handsome still." Kinana replied with a blush seemingly not offended at his comment and looking rather pleased and flustered.
The 20-year-old Kinana was definitely no longer a teen like before the group went to Tenrou Island. She had matured into a young and beautiful woman who definitely drew eyes whenever she walked back. She had grown much taller now being roughly as tall as Erza and being taller than Mira and Lucy. Her violet hair had grown significantly with the front reaching past her chin and the back strands reaching down to her shoulders. The hair was straight with several strands framing her face and two strands in between her eyebrows. She wore a shoulder less green blouse with notable neckline with it being hang by a connected and intwined straps wrapping behind her neck. She wore a long white dress that went to her knees that complimented her green boots.
The most notably thing about Kinana was her figure having developed into an hourglass figure now she was in her prime of her maturity. She notably large breasts with her neckline showing off her cleavage and her thin waist and wide hips accentuated by her blouse curving to fit her figure.
'Huh so he is checking me out and I do not find it offensive. It is not like when Wakaba-san makes those weird comments and flirts with me. It is nice to be appreciated by Naruto-kun. He is still as handsome and kind as he was before. The only one who really changed is my feelings towards him.' Kinana thought happily as she gazed into his warm blue eyes.
'I was being honest when I told Lisanna-chan that I thought my feelings would change by the time I would be old enough for him to notice me not as a teen but a woman. However, if anything seeing Naruto-kun alive now makes my childhood crush on him seen tiny compared to how much I want him and care for him. Is this what love feels like?' Kinana wondered feeling her heart throb and beat happily when he was looking her over.
"Hmm. You have become quite the looker Kinana-chan. I would say I would feel jealous of whatever lucky guy manages to win your heart. He would have to be quite the guy to be worthy of you in my opinion." Naruto commented as he gently rubbed her hand with his thumb getting a squeak and happy gasp from the young woman.
"Hehe you are sweet Naruto-kun." Kinana replied nervously with a shy tone.
Naruto and Kinana heard some not so subtle coughing as Naruto released Kinana's hand much to her slight displeasure. They turned around to see Wakaba looking annoyed while Macao sighing with his palm over his forehead looking like he was resisting banging his head against the wall.
Naruto caught Macao and Wakaba looking at his swords on his hips with wary and looks of fear making him smirk.
"Ah you still remember Tessaiga and Tenseiga huh? I bet you were hoping they were somehow destroyed or I left them behind huh?" Naruto asked cheerfully as the sword sheathes gave off a blue glow for a breath moment.
"What no! What would give you that idea?" Wakaba claimed although his sweating seemed to indicate he was not being honest while Macao gave a nervous chuckle.
Kinana looked at the swords with interest as they seemed to give off a warm feeling in the air at least to her.
'Naruto-kun sure is strong and has a lot of cool abilities.' Kinana thought in a dreamy expression but she frowned when she heard Wakaba's next words.
"Hmm Hmm! Excuse me but can we get back to the fact you are back after 7 years after people presumed you were dead?" Wakaba asked with an annoyed grunt but it was rather obvious he was jealous of the interactions between Kinana and Naruto.
"Hey… You could be gentler with this. Naruto arriving back is like a miracle. There is no need to press him or anything." Macao chided sending Wakaba a look which made Wakaba frown and pout.
Naruto released Kinana's hand and turned back to the two older members of Fairy Tail.
"It's alright Macao. It's a fair question." Naruto replied easily not offended as he waved Wakaba rude tone off.
"Naruto-kun? If you don't want to talk about you don't need to." Kinana told him gently as she stared into his eyes with her warm green eyes showing concern and affection making him smile.
"You see… I…" Naruto started before the group looked towards the door as they heard several footsteps approaching making Kinana, Macao and Wakaba tense but Naruto smile.
"Sheesh Naruto. You constantly call us out for destroying property and especially the guild but here you are nearly destroying the doors." A familiar voice chided but with notably amusement in his voice.
"That voice…. Could it be?" Macao mumbled as he stared at the amused Naruto who was staring out the door with a happy smile.
"I am mostly calling out our team, Gray. We as a group are pretty destructive. Well not so much Lucy and Wendy-chan." Naruto retorted cheerfully as several voices beyond the door snickered while Gray let out a sigh but then chuckled.
"Haha! He got you there!" Bickslow joked along with a giggle from Evergreen.
"Hehe. You guys are the worst! If Naruto didn't keep you guys in a relative leash then I wouldn't be able to pay even my rent each month as our pay would be deducted for the damages you guys cause!" Lucy whined as Wendy gave a nervous chuckle while Gray and Natsu gave a disgruntled groan.
"Are we that bad? I don't think we as bad as Lucy and Naruto imply. I like to believe our team is quite responsible all things considered." Erza commented although her tone indicated se as abit naïve.
"Yeah… No Erza-chan. Just because most clients won't complain to your face about your damages doesn't mean the damages don't occour from you as well. I wouldn't want to be the one who tell off THE Erza Scarlet for the damages she causes." Mira added with teasing tone but a hidden tone of mockery showing she enjoyed it more then she let out.
Kinana, Macao and Wakaba were gaping and pointing at the door as they looked like they were having a seizure or had seen a ghost.
"Those voices. Are they all?" Wakaba mumbled as he kept looking between Naruto and the guild doors that was hanging loosely from the door frame.
"Hey guys! I think you already made it dramatic! Why don't you come on in?" Naruto yelled as he waved his hand making the doors get pulled in and opened gently with his Sky Dragon magic.
Macao and Wakaba comically wept tears of joy while Kinana put a hand over her mouth with her eyes wide with happiness. The Team from Tenrou Island walked in with smiles as they admired their old guild hall.
"Yosh! We are back!" Natsu declared loudly.
"Aye sir! Its exactly as we left it! Well… I mean abit more empty but same old guild hall!" Happy added as he looked around and looked only seeing Naruto, two older men and a pretty young woman.
"You guys are all back! You are just like Naruto and look exactly the same as when you left! It's a miracle!" Wakaba announced happily while most of the guild squinted as they looked over Wakaba and Macao trying to think who they were.
"Uh Levy-chan? Can you tell who they are? They seem kinda familiar but like not really." Lucy asked in a not so quiet tone making Macao and Wakaba head droop slightly.
"Uh Lu-chan? I think they were in our guild before but its been seven years for them so its hard to say who they are." Levy replied as she looked abit confused making Macao and Wakaba head drop even more.
"How could you not tell?! Its me! Wakaba!" Wakaba screamed looking rather put off.
"You know its Macao, right? Right? You recognize me at least?" Macao asked lookinh expectantly.
"Ah! Of course. Wakaba and Macao! It's been quite awhile! Pleased to see you looking… well!" Makarov greeted with a not very convincing smile along with the rest of the guild once they got over their 'realization' face.
'Yeah, they didn't connect the dots. At least they tried right? Hehe.' Naruto remarked as he saw the sheepish looks on the returning members of Fairy Tail.
Mira looked over to see just how empty it was and tilted her head as she placed a finger on her chin.
"Ah. I know you weren't expecting us or anything but is there a reason why the guild hall is so empty? Usually there is at least some people in the guild hall but it seems like a ghost time right now. Is there another S-class trial we don't know about?" Mira asked in a joking tone referencing how when the S-class trials were about to happen all guild members tried to get as many jobs done as quick as possible to get a recommendation for the S-class trials.
"Mira-chan! You look as beautiful as ever! No old pictures of you from 7 years ago could even capture a tenth of your natural beauty! You lovely personality in person is a billion times better then I remember!" Wakaba exclaimed as he looked like he was nearly drooling as he gazed at Mira with desire.
Any semblance of trying to sound charming was ruined as he was staring at Mira's large chest instead of her eyes much to her ire.
"Hey! If you are going to sound like you miss me for my 'personality' as you claim you could at least try to look me in the face and not my breasts! Sheesh and you wondered why it was so hard for you to get me to even talk to you before without wanting to punch you in the face!" Mira snapped as she crossed her arms over her chest.
This did not seem to deter Wakaba much as he kept his eyes onto Mira's chest even with her attempt to hamper his stare with her arms almost as if trying to memorize the shape of Mira's chest. The girls gave him looks of disgust while the men wisely decided to keep their mouths shut while Gildarts and Makarov sighed. This went on for a few seconds Wakaba head was flicked by a burst of wind making him stumble.
Everyone turned to Naruto who was whistling innocently even as his eye was twitching.
"Wakaba. I think Mira made herself clear. If you want to talk to her, you should look her in the eyes." Naruto reminded him sternly as a blue wind surrounded his arm briefly before flickering away.
Wakaba gulped when he saw Mira demonic aura start to leak through with Elfman himself looking rather annoyed. Wakaba wisely decided to look at the roof as if something was rather interesting.
"Uh sorry about Wakaba. He got abit too excited seeing Mira-chan again to think straight. To answer her question. Everyone is out on jobs right now but they should be back in an hour or." Macao apologized sheepishly as he rubbed his head in embarrassment. Macao was looking at his watch and tapping his chin.
Mira sent one last glare at Wakaba before relaxing and nodding her head.
"I see. It would be nice to see everyone again and tell them we are alive. It must be quite the shock for everyone!" Mira chirped seemingly back to her sweet personality.
Makarov also seemed pleased but abit concerned as he saw just how empty the guild hall was.
'Everyone is out doing a job right now? I know times must have been rougher for the people left behind with us gone but I didn't think we would be at point where all 100 or so members would be taking jobs at the same time.' Makarov thought wondering just how badly the remaining members of Fairy Tail had it.
Naruto glanced out the corner of his eyes and saw Mavis hovering by the doors as she looked fondly at the guild but wasn't walking or floating in. Naruto gave her a quick look but Mavis shook her head.
'It's alright. I don't want to draw attention right now. Maybe later but right now its about the current generation reuniting with the people you left behind.' Mavis mouthed out as Naruto could lip read and feel her emotions due to knowing her for so long.
Naruto frowned briefly but nodded getting a relieved look from Mavis. Naruto frowned when he saw Makarov and Gildarts start to advance towards Kinana with hearts in their eyes.
"Now who is this cutie? I don't remember having such a pretty lady in the guild when we were here last time?" Makarov asked checking out Kinana with an impressed whistle.
Kinana shuddered as she tried to keep a polite smile on her face.
"Um well… You see…" Kinana stuttered finding the whole situation rather uncomfortable especially with Naruto standing next to her frowning at the two older men who inched to a few feet from the pretty violet haired woman.
"Sheesh Master. You come back for like 5 minutes and you are already hitting on the new girl. Some things never change huh?" Mira asked with a disappointed tone as she put a hand on her hip.
"Mira-chan! I am just saying hi to our new member in person like any good Master! It is just a coincidence that she is also a pretty young woman as well!" Makarov claimed getting Lucy, Juvia and Wendy to shudder.
'I am glad he didn't get to know me that personally when I joined.' Lucy thought with a shudder.
'Eep! What if Gray-sama saw Juvia getting a love letter from Makarov-sama!' Juvia thought in horror once again exaggerating what was happening in her mind.
"….. If I was older when I first joined then Master would have tried to 'get to know me better' like this?" Wendy asked looking at Erza for confirmation.
'Uh well… Wendy-chan. You just have to know that Master jokes a lot but he is never serious about his comments like that." Erza assured the younger girl with a nervous smile making Wendy give a sigh of relief.
Makarov to his credit looked abit sheepish when he saw Naruto sending him a glare and felt the glare of several members of the guild as he whistled and walked away from Kinana without getting her name. However, it seemed for Gildarts old habits died hard as he saw his opportunity. Gildarts wrapped his original right arm over Kinana shoulders bringing her closer to him even as Kinana shuddered and flinched somewhat at the contact.
"Gildarts! What are you doing?!" Cana snapped at her father using his name to show how disappointed she was at him in this moment.
"Ah Cana-chan! Don't worry about it! I was just going to ask this pretty young woman her name. Its my duty as a senior member of Fairy Tail to know the name of all the new members! Its simply me doing my responsibility!" Gildarts claimed with a charming smile as he looked down at the busty woman currently wrapped up in his arm.
"But you see… I am not really a…." Kinana tried to explained politely but it was clear she was too nice and abit intimated by Fairy Tail Ace to actually contradict Gildarts at the moment.
Unseen by the guild Mavis had an expression so flat and unimpressed that you could put a table full of silverware and not have it slide off her face.
'So, my Godson is bit of a closet pervert and Fairy Tail so called 'Ace' is not quite the father figure Cana-chan needs or at least all the role model all the time. Sigh this is Fairy Tail senior members.' Mavis noted before she smirked when she saw Naruto eye twitch.
'Ah Naruto-kun is abit irritated huh. I guess he is not so pleased and he is protective of the young woman.' Mavis noted seemingly not jealous but rather impressed at Naruto's protective nature.
Macao showing an emotional maturity seemingly for having been awake for several years coughed getting everyone attention.
"Uh guys. You better let Kinana-chan go or else Naruto might blow a gasket." Macao noted as he pointed at Naruto.
Naruto had his arms crossed and his eyes closed but he looked rather annoyed with his right hand tapping his left arm impatiently. There was even a small spark of blue electricity that flowed off his right hand and vanished every time he tapped his finger.
By instinct everyone besides Gildarts took a step back while Gildarts looked around seemingly realizing something might be wrong with the situation.
Lucy then had her eyes widened as a look of realization.
"Wait! Kinana? You mean that is Kinana?" Lucy shouted as everyone else eyes widened.
Gildarts took his arm off Kinana as he took a step back and squatted down so now he was looking Kinana in the eyes.
"Wait a minute! You are Kinana-chan?" Gildarts asked in surprise as Kinana looked at him somewhat unimpressed.
"Uh yeah Gildarts-san. Its me. I mean I look a bit different but I was trying to say I wasn't exactly a new member or anything…" Kinana replied back with a hint of sass now that she was not in Gildarts arms.
The Dragon Slayers took a collective quick sniff before nodding.
"Yeah, it is the same Kinana from before. She just looks abit older." Natsu confirmed with blunt tone making Lucy turn to him with a furious look.
"IF you could just do that before why didn't you tell everyone so we wouldn't need to watch Gildarts creepily hit on Kinana?" Lucy demanded as Natsu shrugged.
Sadly Wendy was also in range so she seemed to take the loud tone to mean her as well.
"I am sorry! I should have checked everyone scent when we got to the guild but I was absent minded!" Wendy cried out with a depressed look looking down.
Lucy felt instantly bad as the young girl took her words out of context and it didn't help that Erza, Happy and Gray gave her unimpressed looks.
"Sheesh you are pretty loud Lucy. Maybe you should work on that." Gray remarked missing Juvia's happy smirk seemingly happy to see her 'love rival' getting a talking down by Gray.
Lucy gave them an expression before she squatted down to comfort the younger Dragon Slayer.
"I was really more talking to Natsu specifically. I am sorry I was loud Wendy-chan. I don't blame you or anything." Lucy explained as Wendy looked up and nodded with her smile returning slowly.
Gildarts took a few more steps back looking rather embarrassed as he rubbed his head.
"Uh sorry about that Kinana-chan. It was more an impulse then anything else. I hope I didn't scare you or anything." Gildarts apologized looking sheepish.
Kinana sighed before she nodded showing she held no ill will especially when Naruto stopped forward and took a few steps to stand next to her.
Gildarts gave a sigh of relief but then instantly shuddered when he felt his daughter glare bring down at his shoulders from behind.
"Cana-chan! Is something the matter? Do you want a hug or to chat with your old man?" Gildarts asked seemingly trying to pacify his irritated daughter.
"…." Cana chose to not say anything but kept her disappointed glare at Gildarts even as he tried to not look at her.
Gildarts turned around and ran towards Cana but stopped a foot away from her. He shuddered when his daughter gave him the cold shoulder.
"Please say something Cana-chan!" Gildarts pleaded as he got on his knees and looked up at Cana.
"…. Please stay away from my guildmates. Its so creepy to see you fawn over them." Cana replied flatly as she refused to look Gildarts in the eyes but her disappointment was clear to everyone especially Gildarts.
"I am sorry! I couldn't help myself! I will make it up to you I swear my Cana-chan!" Gildarts claimed as Cana just looked away and crossed her arms.
"Yeah yeah. I will believe it when I see it." Cana replied flatly seemingly putting Gildarts on a much lower tier of respect then she did before.
Gildarts started to cry even as he tried to walk towards Cana who walked away from him to stand next to Lucy. Gildarts stopped when Cana gave him a death glare seemingly to protect Lucy from him who was just chuckling nervously.
'Just pretend you don't see or hear anything.' Lucy thought trying to avoid the family drama between daughter and father.
Meanwhile Kinana let out a sigh of relief now that the powerful Ace of Fairy Tail was no longer interested in her while Naruto shoulders relaxed as his protective stance was no longer needed.
Erza tilted her head in confusion as she crossed her arms.
"Why is everyone acting like Kinana is a completely different person then the girl we saw last week… er I mean I guess 7 years ago? Kinana has the same violet hair and green eyes so she hasn't changed much in my opinion." Erza stated in a matter of factly as if she was discussing the weather.
The rest of the guild looked at Erza with wide eyes at her seemingly one direction mind.
"Does Erza really not see what we see. Kinana used to be like Wendy and now she is like Lucy. Pretty much the difference between day and night in my opinion." Bickslow noted with a slightly perverted smile getting a smack in the back of his head from Evergreen.
"Don't be gross! Kinana is a maturing young woman and way out of your league anyways!" Evergreen declared getting a scowl from Bickslow.
Naruto and Kinana saw Levy stare at Kinana or rather specifically her large chest with a look of envy. Kinana was looking confused at the look while Naruto had a small smirk.
"Uh… Levy-san is something the matter?" Kinana asked kindly as she looked down at the petite blue haired young woman.
Naruto quickly understood what was happening as his smile grew a teasing hint as Levy kept looking between Kinana and her own chest.
'So big….! It's not fair! Kinana was a cute child what seemed last week and now she is way taller and bustier than me! I know its been 7 years for her but how did she mature so much?' Levy thought with jealously.
"Oh Kinana! I was just curious if there was a certain diet or something you use to keep your…. Figure so full." Levy asked trying to say it in the most neutral way possible and avoid admitting she was fishing for tips on how she could possibly improve her figure or rather her breast size.
Kinana tilted her head and looked genuinely confused as she tapped her chin.
"Um? I think I have just been eating a rather modest diet? I never really thought of it much although I guess its only been recently that I have had to change clothes due to growing taller rapidly." Kinana mused in a rather honest tone.
Levy and Wendy head dropped as if disappointed by Kinana honest but rather unhelpful answer.
'Wow I can kinda understand Levy-chan being disappointed there isn't some secret tip to getting a taller and bustier figure but Wendy-chan too? Isn't she abit too young to think of things like that?' Lucy thought somewhat amused.
'I mean Wendy-chan is definitely more mature mentally then the knuckles heads like Natsu or Gray but when I was I her age I wasn't really thinking of my figure much. Is it because there is a guild full of busty women around her?' Lucy thought sympathetically.
'I wonder why Levy-chan didn't ask me this question when we first met? I dunno what I would have told her as having this figure isn't as wonderful as someone would think. Constantly having people try to look up my skirt or 'accidentally' put their hands on my chest is not fun!' Lucy thought with an annoyed pout showing despite how confident in her good looks she was, she was more then aware of the negative side effects of being a busty girl.
Happy was seeing Lucy seemingly talking to herself judging by her expressions changing grew a grin.
"I think Lucy has gone insane and started to talk to herself again. Its pretty creepy even for humans in general." Happy whispered to Natsu who shrugged and nodded.
"I mean Lucy has always been abit strange so it wouldn't surprise me if she has lost her mind." Natsu replied with a shrug.
Natsu and Happy whistled when Lucy turned to them with an eye twitch.
"I can hear you know! You guys aren't exactly quiet even when you are whispering." Lucy retorted angrily as she pointed her fist at them who kept whistling innocently.
Naruto smiled down at Kinana as he placed a hand on her shoulder making her jumping slightly but she didn't lean away from his touch unlike when Gildarts was coming close.
"Regardless on how or why Kinana-chan has become quite the woman with a figure and beauty that is worthy of praise!" Naruto stated cheerfully with an eye wink and a charming tone.
"Naruto-kun! You!... Thank you…" Kinana shouted before her face turned red which only grew redder when Naruto smiled and used her hand on her shoulder to gently rub her cheek in a surprisingly affectionate and intimate manner for a few moments.
"… Nani! What are you doing Naruto!" Everyone from the guild besides Kinana shouted with even Mavis pointing with wide eyes at Naruto from the door.
"Hmm? I was just commenting and praising Kinana-chan good looks. I don't really see why that is a big issue? Kinana-chan could easily tell me off and I would apologize for being too rude." Naruto replied easily with a slight smirk seeing the pure shock on the guild's faces.
"But you are famous for being clueless about woman looks and not commenting on them!" Lucy added with a notable outraged and somewhat jealous expression.
'I know Kinana-chan has grown up a lot but Naruto has never commented on my looks and I know I look good!' Lucy thought with annoyance.
Naruto saw out the corner of his eyes that Erza and Mira were also glaring at him with annoyed expressions. He could even feel jealous like emotions coming from the guild door or rather Mavis hiding behind it. Wendy was just pouting adorably while he could feel several men looking at him with jealously especially at how Kinana was blsuing like crazy and rubbing the spot her stroked her cheek softly. Despite hiding it better Lisanna was also looking a tad sad while Cana just looked put out as if he had done something that should have been her.
'Sigh. I should have known acting out of the blue with my urges like that with Kinana-Chan would bite me in the ass. I couldn't help out. It just felt right to do it.' Naruto thought with a sigh but not regret.
Naruto sighed before he vanished in a burst of speed only to reappear in front of a surprised Lucy who nearly jumped from surprise.
"Sorry Lucy. You are beautiful too. I should have told you before how beautiful you are and how much I enjoy your company." Naruto stated sincerely before he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek making her mind go blank. Her entire face turned red as steam appeared to coming out of her ears.
"Uh…?!" Lucy went blank as Naruto smiled sweetly at her before vanishing.
He then reappeared in between Mira and Erza giving them quick kisses on the opposite cheeks.
"I am lucky to be so close to you both. You are more then just S-class beauties to me Mira, and Erza. You remind me that strength isn't only thing that people can remember about being S-class. Your hearts and personality are what I really like about you most." Naruto added just as sweetly as Mira pressed her hand on the spot, he kissed her while Erza brown eyes started to rapidly look at Mira, Kinana and Lucy.
Both women cheeks also turned darker red then Erza's scarlet hair but did not emit steam out of ears showing slightly better control over their hormones then Lucy.
Naruto vanished again in a burst of speed while Gildarts by instinct put Cana behind him.
"If you are going to try to kiss my little Cana-chan then you will have to go through me blondie! I will blow you back to Tenrou island if you touch my baby girl!" Gildarts declared protectively as his eyes and expression showed parental anger at the thought for his daughter.
"Gildarts! You have no right to decide who I kiss or who I date! You don't get to a dead-beat dad for years and now over compensate by being overprotective now!" Cana shouted at her dad with notable annoyance. She put one on her hip and the other hand she used to chop Gildarts on the head which did not notably appear to physically hurt him but caused him to leak tears out of his eyes.
"I am just looking out for you Cana-chan! If you have to date someone it should be someone who can take care of you and never leave you! He should have to be at least stronger then me so I know my baby girl will be in good hands! Pease know I am just trying to be a good father despite being abit over bearing!" Gildarts tried to explain as he turned around to look at his daughter.
Gildarts put his hands in front of in surrender as he notably with uncomfortable with the glare sent by Cana who pouted at him. Then Cana pout turned into a smirk.
"Then I suppose Naruto is an option for dating if 'only someone stronger than you' is the requirement for your approval my dear father?" Cana teased but her smirk showed she was not quite 100% joking when it came to Naruto. AN5:
Gildart's jaw dropped even as Cana laughed at his expression with a heartfelt chuckle. Gidlarts looked rather indignant as he crossed his metal arm over his chest and tapped his foot a few times.
"Excuse me? That blondie stronger than me? Being worthy of my only daughter? I have never said he is worthy of your hand in marriage let alone the right to date you Cana-chan! If Naruto thinks he is worthy then we can right here and now!" Gildarts asked irritated as his magic power started to leak out.
Cana gave him another karate chop to the head making the magic power stop abruptly as Gildarts serious expression turned to a pout as child like tears started to leak out of his eyes.
"Stop making a scene Gildarts! It makes you look sad! I was joking anyways! I don't have any real intentions to date anyone let alone marry anytime soon! Besides how do you think it being a 'good father' destroying the guild hall to prove a point huh? What kind of logic are you using for that?" Cana retorted before sighing as Gildarts gave her a puppy dog look.
They continued to squabble about her so called 'dating rights' but there was notably no heat in between them. It was more like playful teasing showing they were developing a father and daughter relationship albeit in a non conventional way.
Meanwhile the rest of the guild had their jaws to the ground while the four women Naruto had given kisses were blushing and swaying their feet in a similar manner as schoolgirls who gotten affection from their crushes.
Naruto had vanished and appeared behind Mavis who jumped a foot off the ground due to her shock and surprise.
"Naruto! Stop appearing out of nowhere! Besides what are you doing kissing all those women! Are you trying to become a playboy and ruin your reputation as a nice guy!" Mavis hissed although her expression showed some hurt and jealously which Naruto took notice off as he stared into her green eyes even as she was hissing at him.
Instead of replying right away Naruto simply smiled and brought Mavis into a hug resting his chin on top of her head and smelled her long blonde hair.
"You are important to me too Mavis-chan. Never ever doubt how important you are to me. I might not say it enough but you are not simply my Fuild Master or the person who lent me her home for all those years. I cherish you and our special bond." Naruto told her sincerely as Mavis face turned red.
"Baka… Saying stuff like that makes it so easy for girls to…" Mavis trailed off as her expression showed hopefulness and affection. She then buried her face into her shoulder and sighed with relief.
"For me. All I am doing is simply showing how I really feel now. I wanted to kiss them and that is what I am doing. If they get angry at me then so be it I will let them vent at me and I will apologize afterwards." Naruto whispered as Mavis hummed.
Mavis brought her head out of her shoulder and with flustered cheeks she looked at his sky blue eyes with her own green eyes.
"Well then can you… with me?" Mavis asked shyly as she gazed at him with hope and nervousness.
Naruto smiled but settled for kissing her hand which he brought to her lips making her blush but pout.
"Sorry Mavis-chan. I want OUR first kiss to be one when your body and soul are reunited so it will be special. I don't want the experience to be soured or different because I kissed your soul first." Naruto explained as Mavis pouted but nodded.
"Fine but that is a promise that our first kiss will be extra special!" Mavis declared as Naruto laughed but nodded as he used his pinky to hook with hers in a caring embrace.
"Deal." Naruto promised as they gazed at the guild and seemed to looking towards the basement where they knew Mavis's body aka Fairy Heart was lying.
Unseen to everyone as Naruto moved them out of sight of the guild and used a silent Enchantment for people outside the guild hall to not see or hear them so they wouldn't be disturbed.
Naruto gave one final hug to Mavis before vanishing in a puff of smoke showing he used the Body Flicker Jutsu as Mavis placed a hand over her heart.
"Where my heart lies huh. I guess it will be easier to show it with Naruto being more receptive than before huh?" Mavis mused with a content smile and her eyes closed.
Naruto reappeared in the middle of the guild in a puff of smoke with a friendly smile.
"So, I am guessing that was pretty surprisingly huh? I am sure its not something you expected today or any day off the top of your head?" Naruto joked as he smiled widely at the shell shocked expressions of the guild.
"How can you be so non chalent? You kissed 4 women on the cheeks one after another and acting like it is nothing!" Makarov demanded along with the rest of the guild.
Naruto simply shrugged as his eyes softened when he saw Kinana, Mira. Lucy and Erza look at him expectingly. Despite not showing it, he could feel some disappointment coming from Lisanna as well.
"Hmm? It was just a kiss on the cheek and honestly it is more of me thanking them for being there for me all this time rather than expecting anything to come from it. Heck, I would kiss you all on the cheeks too but for some reason I feel you all would be far less receptive to it then them." Naruto tried to explain before giving a knowing smirk.
The men looked ready green at the thought of Naruto kissing them on the cheeks while Evergreen rapidly shook her head.
"No thank you. You might attract Erza but not me." Evergreen declared as Elfman let out a sigh of relief.
"Please don't. That is something I wouldn't want happening to me besides maybe a family member or like a boyfriend." Levy asked politely although she did briefly look at her feet for a moment.
"Juvia's love is only for Gray-sama! Juvia must remain pure for that time till the day he returns Juvia's love!" Juvia declared although her eyes did widen.
'Wait if Naruto-san can kiss all these women with no fear of rejection then surely Gray-sama can spare a kiss for Juvia?!' Juvia thought hopefully as she looked at Gray expectantly.
However, to her disappointment Gray was still wide eyed and slack jawed as he was looking between Erza who had slight red cheeks and a pleased expression and a calm Naruto.
"I still cannot believe he managed to lay a kiss on Erza and not get blasted out of Magnolia for that. I know for a fact if anyone else tried that they would be a different town by now." Gray stuttered seemingly shocked to his core his childhood friend was okay if not pleased at the quick kiss on the cheek.
Before Wendy could even respond Carla flew up to Naruto with her claws out as Naruto put his hands in surrender.
"I would claw your eyes out if you tried to do that with Wendy! She is far too young for activities like that!" Carla hissed as Naruto rolled his eyes but nodded his head to pacify the angry cat.
"Yeah yeah I know. Wendy-chan has a bodyguard. I get it. Nobody will ever place their lips onto Wendy in any way till she is old enough." Naruto claimed with a hint of impatience.
"Carla… I can speak for myself." Wendy sighed as she looked almost irritated for a moment.
Lucy then walked up to Naruto and placed a hand on his arm almost as if she was trying to prevent him from leaving.
"Naruto… Did that kiss really mean nothing to you? I mean I don't know if it was supposed to mean anything but I…." Lucy asked trailing off with an uncertain expression.
Naruto saw the insecurity in her eyes and even in Mira's and Erza's eyes despite them being much better at hiding it.
Lisanna turned to Kinana out the corner of her eyes who was smiling pleased and even with the slightest smirk.
'Oh right… Kinana-chan joked before we went to Tenrou Island that she would be okay with the idea of a harem… Does that mean now that she is old enough to really accept feelings as something serious, she actually okay with just having a piece of Naruto-kun's heart instead of having it solely hers?' Lisanna thought before she looked her own arm with solemn eyes.
'I mean it would be super awkward if Mira-Nee and I both loved Naruto-kun at the same time and that is not counting the other women. It would be super weird but would it be the worst thing to have a part of Naruto-kun's huge heart rather than not having any piece at all and having to accept him with a single woman?' Lisanna thought seriously as her maturity showed and that her feelings were not quite the crush she originally thought.
Naruto then looked at Erza, Mira and Kinana with a sincere smile as he closed his eyes.
"That kiss wasn't 'nothing' to me. I don't really know how to express it but you four although I can't lie and say there aren't others, matter a lot to me. For some reason I couldn't let the chance to show how important you are to me even if it was something as simple as a kiss on the cheek. I couldn't imagine my life without you all in it let alone a world where you were angry at me." Naruto explained softy letting out a sigh.
Lucy and Kinana looked rather touched at his declaration while Mira and Erza looked at each other in the eyes. There was a tense minute as the two S-class female wizards and best friends/rivals seemed to have mental conversation with neither of them backing down. After a moment Erza and Mira giggled and nodded to each other.
"Naruto-kun. I won't say I wasn't surprised at that random affection but I do appreciate it. It felt rather nice and I know if anyone else tried that I would only feel disgust and anger so thank you for showing me something like that." Mira told him warmly as she winked at him and gave him a beautiful smile making Naruto smile just as warmly back.
Erza seemingly taking this as a challenge requipped back to a white shirt and blue skirt instead of her normal armoured chest and brought Naruto's face into her chest like before. Mira eye twitched before sighing as she waved her hand as if almost giving Erza her permission.
"Naruto… You are important to me too. I haven't really got any experience with romance or having feelings outside of kinship for my Fairy Tail family but I can tell you I really enjoyed that kiss even if was abit short in my opinion." Erza told him gently as she closed her arms and held Naruto's face into her chest with a sigh.
"…. Thanks Erza, Kinana-chan, Lucy and Mira-chan for not being angry at me. I just let my heart move my body without thinking about it for once." Naruto added as he let his face rest in Erza's soft chest for a few seconds before Erza let him go with a warm smile.
While the women who had romantic feelings for him seemed to be rather touched including Levy and Lisanna who hadn't gotten kisses a majority of the men couldn't help but feel a mixture of jealousy and outright pride that Naruto got to give all these kisses without any sort of consequences.
'I am not happy or sad he didn't kiss me. It would have been so embarrassing especially as I don't think I have done anything to give the impression I like him or not!' Levy thought nervously even as she couldn't help but focus on Lucy or rather the cheek that Naruto kissed with interest and wonder.
'Hmm I wonder if it is as romantic as some of the books imply even if its not on the lips just the cheek although I don't want my first kiss on the lips to be so public.' Levy thought with embarrassment at the thought of getting kissed by Naruto.
Meanwhile Lisanna seemed to be focused solely on Mira who was still looking rather flustered as she placed her hands on her cheeks and looked uncharacteristically embarrassed but pleased.
'Hmmm I thought Nee-chan would be so greatly she would go full 'demon' mode if anyone showed they had feeling for Naruto-kun besides her. However, Mira-Nee seems to be more happy that Naruto-kun simply admits how important she is along with other girls to her. I think maybe her feelings are pure enough that she can accept the possibility of her simply being part of Naruto-kun's heart instead of being the sole person who holds his romantic interest?' Lisanna thought hopefully before her mental form turned into one of fear.
'I just hope she doesn't turn into scary Mira-Nee later on if he does show affection to anyone else later on… I know Naruto-kun is her first and only romantic love so she could easily revert back to jealous Mira-Nee and jealous Mira-Nee would rather destroy the place then share.' Lisanna mentally shuddered as she could imagine Satan Soul Mira clashing with Erza in her Heaven Wheel armour.
Meanwhile Cana didn't seem particularly offended she didn't get a kiss on the cheek although she admittedly rolled her eyes at Gildarts attempts to be 'father-like' but keeping a firm barrier between her and Naruto. Cana glanced past her father to look at the blushing and swaying Lucy.
'Lucy has changed quite abit from that young and naïve woman who first came to the guild because she probably thought it was 'cool' and trendy. Not to say she was that shallow to only join because of Fairy Tail reputation for being the strongest if not most rowdy guild in Fiore.' Cana mused with a mental chuckle as she briefly remembered how star struck Lucy was on her first day at the guild.
'I could tell instantly that she and even our lovely Mira were pretty smitten with Naruto even on the first day. That boy really knows how to make a good first impression. He was pretty much a hero from the get go even when he was hiding his interdimensional origins if only by omission.' Cana thought fondly as she remembered Naruto using his body as a shield to protect Mira on his first day and holding her tenderly.
'If I can guess despite having a smoking body like hers Lucy probably never felt any sort of romantic interest in any boys and despite how confident she tried to be with her good and mature looks she never had a boyfriend before. However, Naruto quickly endeared himself to her even if it was only a crush for our busty Heartfillia.' Cana thought with a rather sisterly pride in her eyes. AN6:
'However, I think now Lucy through her time in Fairy Tail and getting to know Naruto all this time has evolved that silly crush into true feelings of love. If I had to wager a bet, I believe she could feel in her heart the ability to love being part of Naruto romantic life instead of just being the sole inheritor.' Cana mused with a small sincere smile.
'However, I am could be mistaken and Lucy might try to seduce Naruto so she could be 'first' and hopefully tie himself down for herself. I am not her or anything but I would say that would be funny to watch our awkward blonde try to flirt with Naruto.' Cana thought humorously with a shrug and mental chuckle.
After Naruto rather heartfelt confession Makarov started to cry rather comically tears of fatherly pride.
"Our boy Naruto is growing up so fast! It just seems like last week where he was avoiding any sort of interest in women and now here he is kissing girls on the cheek without any sort of slapping afterwards! I couldn't be prouder my boy!" Makarov stated proudly even as he cried tears of joy into his arm.
Naruto eye twitched as he tapped his foot.
"Sheesh just because I wasn't jumping any girl who showed me any sort of affection doesn't mean I wasn't in women in general. I didn't really give off that impression, did I?" Naruto asked with an irritated expression.
Naruto head dropped when the everyone in the guild gave him dry looks including the women who showed an interest in him.
"Yeah, you did give that impression. If we didn't know better rumour might have spread to Sorcerer Weekly that you liked Men!" Elfman stated dramatically only to wince when Mira sent him a quick nasty glare out the corner of her eyes before her sweet smile appeared like usually.
'Haha, He got you there! Heck if you weren't a nation world hero I am sure there might have been rumours that you were interested in that Uchiha brat with how much you obsessed about getting him back!' Kurama teased making Naruto eye twitch again.
'How many times do I have to explain that! He was like my brother and I couldn't let him fall to darkness!' Naruto retorted angrily in his mindscape.
'Hmm that damn fox Kurama did tell us you press lips to lips with that Uchiha when you were Genin age.' Shukakau chortled seemingly only talking to get a rise of Naruto even as the more sensible Tailed Beasts like Gyuki and Son sighed.
'That was not a kiss! If anything, that guy who pushed me into him was more at fault that me! I don't know why he gets a pass when I was a victim just as much as Sasuke was!' Naruto retorted angrily and mentally getting laughs if not chuckles from the rest of the Tailed Beasts.
Matatabi took pity on Naruto and waved her twin tails as she raised a paw.
'Now now. Let's not tease Naruto-kun too much. His first real kiss was that lovely young woman from Edolas. Wendy-chan who is quite the catch and definitely someone worthy as mate material for our Naruto-kun.' Matatabi stated proudly in a rather maternal voice.
Naruto in the mindscape didn't reply but crossed his arms and looked away with his eyes closed. There was a hint of blush but he did look a tad proud.
"Hmph! Well I never! If anything I feel Natsu and Gray give off that vibe more often then me but hey that's just my opinion." Naruto noted as the Fire Dragon and the Ice-Make wizards look at each other before they inched away from each other in horror.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Natsu demanded as his face turned green as if he was having motion sickness.
"That is so sick I can't even describe it!" Gray added looking rather blue faced.
"Forbidden love? Could it be?... No! Gray-sama must remain loyal to me!" Juvia mumbled looking rather intrigued before she shook her head in denial.
Naruto didn't look particularly sympathetic even as the guild started to whisper about Gray and Natsu much to their horror.
'Hmm serves them right. Although I guess I could have said that Elfman and Evergreen were a couple based on how they act but that wouldn't be so fun.' Naruto thought smugly.
The group along with Wakaba, Macao and Kinana just chatted happily making Mavis from the outside smile happily.
'Even though they lost 7 years together it appears their bonds are as strong as ever. What a generation of Fairy Tail to watch over. I am rather pleased I am here to watch over them closer instead of waiting for things to happen.' Mavis thought happily before a smiling blonde with blue eyes and whiskers appeared in her mind.
'Of course, none of this would have happened without Naruto. He changed my entire world for the better.' Mavis thought as she looked down at her feet with a slight blush.
Mavis head leapt up almost like a dog as she heard some chattering coming towards the guild. By instinct she quickly ran and hid behind some bushes and looked up.
"Man I can't wait to see Kinana-chan! She is such a breath of fresh air!" A certain male sand magic user commented with a grin.
"Sheesh! You only like her because she is now a mature lady! You know she is still pining for you know who! You should keep that in mind Max!" A female wood magic user chided as the male rubbed his head.
"Hehe. I can't help it but you are right Laki. None of us should push Kinana-chan into anything." Max admitted with a sigh but a humble nod.
The small group of Fairy Tail wizards appeared to be in such a good mood they didn't recognize Mavis in the bush who looked wide eyed.
"These are!" Mavis mumbled as she watched them into the guild hall.
"Kinana-chan! Sorry we were gone for so long! The jobs didn't take as long as we thought but they were still pretty hard!" Laki stated as the group were so pre occupied getting time to rest and relax they didn't even notice the guild hall was much fuller than it was for the last few years.
"Uh…" Kinana stuttered as she looked wide eyed at how the guild was so focused on relaxing they did not notice the elephant in the room.
"Don't mind them Kinana-chan. Although a few drinks would help out if you don't mind." A beautiful green haired woman asked sweetly with her eyes closed as they group went to the bar.
"You guys got old!" Natsu yelled as he pointed at the group who stayed behind.
"Nani! Wait! You are back?!" The group that stayed behind yelled back as they turned around only to see the Fairy Tail member thought to have destroyed on Tenrou alive and well.
"Huh. I guess the correct thing is to say is… 'We are back!'?" Naruto teased with a grin as they was a collective cheer as everyone realized the groups were reunited.
AN2: This is just a subtle reference to how close Natsu and Wendy are in canon (especially in the anime where they added extra scenes of them together) as siblings. In my story since Wendy spends most of her time with Naruto, Natsu and Wendy are not nearly as close but there is still mutual respect.
AN3: This is just me using a name from a franchise I like for an OC. This Lumine is a child that is basically a named NPC character.
AN4: Yup I had Bruce from Marvel's Infinity War (when Thor joined the battle of Wakanda) in mind when I wrote this line.
AN5: To be honest I have been trying to squeeze this line of dialogue for awhile and this seemed to be a perfect spot to show the classic Fairy Tail goofiness with a hint of seriousness.
AN6: This is a direct reference to Fairy Tail episode 50 which has Cana correctly infer despite getting second place in the Miss Fairy Tail contest Lucy didn't have a boyfriend at all (and implying Lucy was a virgin). I know that episode is only in the anime and the omake from the manga wasn't exactly the same anyways. In this story likely off screen Cana had a similar teasing moment with Lucy off screen where she manages to correctly infer Lucy lack of romantic life and that Lucy likely only had eyes for Naruto.
