Chapter 50 - Old Man Naruto (Naruto X FairyTail)

Life was certainly unexpected, it had its ups and down. You had to live with what you have and struggle until you could no more or arrived a stable point.

Naruto could say that with confidence that he struggled a lot and finally achieved what he wished for, everything he had wanted was given to him at the end.

He became the Hokage and the world was at peace. He had a big family, friends and life was filled with joy.

He was the living legend and the guardian of the world that kept darkness at bay, time passed by and just like always it took a toll on his spirit.

Time was moving and everything moved with it, Naruto saw his friends and family die one by one as he still lived on.

His wife gone, his friends gone, it was starting to change him. Naruto was feeling that he was dying from the inside, losing his humanity as he wished to bring about destruction with his own hands.

He had destroyed technology with his hands once it got to the point that it was dangerous to everyone. He had to set limits to the people's freedom and complete freedom brought chaos.

It had been 200 years and Naruto had aged, his hair was white and he had some wrinkles but his body was still in buff condition from daily practice.

"Boruto, Himawari, I will let you take care of everything." Naruto said as he stood in front of his children that had grown old, they had still some life left in them and he didn't wish to see them die before him

"Kurama take care of them, old friend." Naruto muttered as he turned around and walked through space towards a new world

Since he had so much time on his hand, Naruto ended up traveling the world and found it very fun and engaging so he wished to die on a journey.

A journey filled with wonderful sights, food, people and so much more, the infinite possibilities made him curious and eager.

The thought got his aged heart pumping like old times, the times with his friends.

Naruto remembered the days with team 7, the start of the journey with his students and wife as he closed his eyes.

It was such a powerful memory and he opened his eyes to see a new world, he was in a meadow and no city in sight.

Naruto had decided that he would enjoy it so he had turned off his extra senses and was moving like a normal person without super speed.

Naruto wore an orange robe with black clothes and red boots, he had a small bad on his back and a small sword on his hip.

He didn't want to stand with his wealth and just wanted to enjoy like the old days where he had to forage for things and look for it, instead of ordering someone to bring it.

"I will have a lot to share with you all when I am there." Naruto muttered as he looked up at the sky and started walking at a jogging pace

----------------------------

The scenery was nice and he could see mountain ranges that were all green plus a forest as well, this place suited him a lot and Naruto found that this world might be a lot closer to his world of long ago when there was still a lot of place left without humans.

Population had grown and the planet was densely populated that Naruto had to make place on other planets to bring back order to nature as people weren't dying much and taking too much space.

'Traveling like this is definitely something, I never even thought about just waking to all places. I think it might too long so I should get a ride.' Naruto thought as he walked along the way and finally arrived near the forest

Naruto looked back at the open area and found a majestic beast running with wild abandon, it was beautiful and he wanted it.

Arcanine is a quadruped, canine Pokémon with an orange pelt marked by jagged black stripes. It had diamond-shaped ears with beige insides, black eyes, a round, black nose, and two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. Its head, muzzle, and c.h.e.s.t are covered in shaggy, beige fur, except for two oval sections around each eye and ear. Long tufts of fur grow behind its elbows and around its ankles. Its underside is black, and it had a billowing, beige tail that is bent in the middle. Each paw has three toes and a round, pink pad.

Naruto appeared in its path causing it to stop with a shocked and wary look.

"I won't hurt you. I just want you to act as my mount for some time to make my journey a bit more special"

"Why should I care about that? I will not give up my freedom."

"You don't have give up your freedom since I want you to serve for a small time and in return you get good food and I will increase your power at the end." Naruto replied with a smile as he walked forward with his hand extended while the beast was shocked that the man understood his words

"Paw" Naruto muttered and the beast couldn't believe that his body acted without permission

"Good boy, let's go to the nearest town at a moderate pace Ark." Naruto said as he sat on top of his mount

"Why have you chosen me human?"

"Just randomly, I liked your look that's all."

"Yeah, I look great don't I?"

"Yeah, I have never seen one of your kind before. Where do you live?"

"We live near hot areas so it's rare to be out in the open like this unless we are running a lengthy journey."

"Any rival?"

"No rival but I wish I could fight a fire dragon."

"I will help you with that so keep me satisfied. For now stop here and go hunt for your food. I will get mine." Naruto said as he walked in the jungle while connecting with the plants

While Naruto was taking it slow, the nearby Clover town had dangerous threat approaching it.

-------------------------------------

In Clover town a meeting was taking place among the guild masters and ended but danger was once again on them as the demon they had been trying to stop from appearing was about to appear.

Kageyama a member of a dark guild had escaped the Fairytail mages and arrived outside the meeting structure.

Kageyama was a young man of average height and weight with black eyes and black hair which he ties in a short, spiky ponytail.

He was a sadistic person with many faults and joined with the worse crowd as he was about to unleash a demon to kill the guild masters.

Kageyama was about to play the flute when Makarov came out, "What are you doing, kid?"

Makarov didn't know about the people involved in the fight so he wasn't suspicious of the young man and just found him weird.

"I was just practicing my music and walked over here by mistake. I would be honored if you could listen to my music, Master Makarov."

"Okay but take it easy."

Kageyama smiled and was about to play but when he looked at short old man and the town around him, he didn't have it in him to cause destruction to them all.

He was bad but this was too much for him and he lowered the flute.

"No need to be nervous, I won't be judging."

As he said those words Natsu and co. had arrived but were stopped by the other guild masters from intervening.

Makarov had already gotten an idea by then what was happening.

"With you all gone this world would be a better place." Kageyama tried to fight this weak mindset

"What will change? You will still be a weakling and the world will move along, maybe there will more evil or is that you d.e.s.i.r.e a chaotic age."

Kageyama felt his world shatter as those words entered his mind along with the rest of the explanation and felt that he had been a naïve child, believing in fairy tales.

He dropped the flute but a wind passed through and a screeching was produced from the flute giving enough power to the demon to force Kageyama to play the flute.

Before the others could react, the demon had appeared in all its terrible glory.

The flute had become an extremely tall beast that had three eyes, two legs, two arms and one head. There were many cutouts in its body and it towered everything with its size of 40 m.

The demon roared in victory as it was freed from its prison and the people were horrified while the guild mages were ready to fight.

-------------------------------

Naruto was enjoying roasted mushrooms and some wine with it plus some deer meat donated by Ark.

"It's been some time since I cooked but it's still very tasty. I could do magic with my chakra to these simple meals. Can't let down my friend down, can I Choji?" Naruto muttered as he enjoyed the food and sat in a clearing with a fire on

He was relaxing in the wild when a roar passed through his ear and Naruto felt it call his soul. Naruto looked towards the origin and found a large demon.

"People are in danger; it seems they need me again." Naruto smiled as he looked at with a smile and raised his hand and golden pillar descended on the town

It was just pure chakra that was transmitted through a spatial gate in the sky and the demon was erased without any resistance.

"What is that?" Ark asked as he saw the world become alight with golden light

"A punishment for naughty children." Naruto replied as he went back to his food while Ark was given the first glimpse of his master's power

'He is definitely someone of great power. I wonder what he is doing. It must be for a great purpose.' Ark was pumped up imagining that this journey had some great quest behind it instead of just the last moments of an old man

-----------------------------------

"What just happened?" Lucy asked as she looked at the place where the demon should have been

Makarov was shocked by what happened, 'Who did it? What kind of magic was it? Demon slayer magic?'

The chakra had not given any aura except the feeling of safety and warmth like being in the warmth of a father.

"Man, I wanted to fight that thing." Natsu was down as he saw his opponent disappear

"Don't say those cursed words" Erza punched him in the head as he said such a nonsensical thing, people would have died if that thing had stayed even a bit and it had great power to even destroy mountains with its magic

"Makarov do you anything about this?"

"Can't you tell?"

"Does it matter; the demon is defeated so the helper should be a good person." Natsu said as he looked at them with a confused look, wondering why they were thinking too much about it

"Hahaha, you are right. Let's go, the problem has been dealt with." Makarov laughed as he realized he didn't have to over think it

Erza was curious about the event, "I will be staying for a day and check for safety reasons."

-----------------------------------------------

Morning came and Naruto was awake by the first light of dawn, he was b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.t showing his muscular body with scars on his c.h.e.s.t and back. His arms and legs also had scars from the last battle of his life, the battle for the survival of his world.

The attacks had the property to never heal as all participants had regeneration so this skill negated everyone's life line.

Naruto wasn't ashamed and Hinata has said that they looked s.e.xy on him so he was proud of them. Just like always Naruto went through the motions of his martial like a ritual, he would never stop this so that he would never be unprepared for battle.

Relaxation and peace made people become complacent so Naruto made sure to train his body and soul especially since he had lost sixty percent of his powers by removing Kurama from his soul.

Naruto found it relaxing as he moved his body and imagined fighting his old foes from one to another; he danced across the clearing enchanting any watcher as even they could see a silhouette of an opponent with how Naruto moved.

"Did you enjoy it?" Naruto asked as he stopped and his body was covered in sweat

"It looked fun, how do I do it?"

"Haha, you will learn once you have fought a lot." Naruto replied as he created a floating a bath with warm water and entered it to relax as he had some fruit beside him with a drink

Once Naruto was done getting ready, they traveled towards the town and arrived before 4 so they had time enjoy the town.

Naruto entered the town after proving that his pet was not wild and would listen to him but even then he was put on the watch list because Arcanine were not pets.

Naruto didn't mind and bid the guards good morning plus giving them a tip and some sweets before entering the town.

"Weird guy."

"Yeah but this stuffs good so who cares."

-------------------------------------

Naruto watched the people and the buildings, he found this place nice and far from the machinations of humanity.

It was scenery from the old days with those clothes and style of humans, these days' humans had so many attachments in his world that their DNA was not pure human anymore.

'Natural like always things should be.' Naruto thought as he followed his nose and found himself near a stall selling some fried mutton chops

"I will have three packs" Naruto ordered as he smelled the delicious stuff and the unique sauce

The cook nodded and got to it, he didn't want to mess with a mage and passed the package to Naruto as he gave him two golden coins.

"No need to give change, this is my appreciation of new food." Naruto said as the man was staring at the money

He walked away while throwing a piece to Ark who just gulped it down.

"You will need to learn to appreciate the taste instead of gulping stuff down." Naruto said as he walked beside Ark and patted his soft fur

While Naruto moved along the town, people also showed interest in him with his appearance and Ark walking beside him.

Mages were well respected by most people and Naruto looked to be a gentle man so people did give him another look.

Naruto smiled at them and gave them a wave by instinct and remembered that he wasn't home so he didn't have to do this but found it funny.

While walking Naruto passed by Erza and found her very similar to an Uzumaki with that red hair and spirit.

"Little one, what are you looking for?" Naruto asked as he could see that she was in search of something

Erza stopped and turned to him, her eyes analyzing and found the man not to be threatening in approach.

"Did you see that golden light yesterday night? I am looking for the one who did that."

"Why?"

"I want to say thanks."

"Then come along and I will show you the way." Naruto said as he took her hand and made her follow him on his sightseeing

He wanted to see different things, eat new food, learn new things and try out fighting new people. He wanted to love his dreams, the dreams of his comrades through his body.

So he wanted to try fighting the Erza as she met him and he wasn't lying.

Erza found the man was confident in his words so she followed him for many hours, checking out shops for clothes, food, magic and weapons.

Soon she found this very suspicious and stopped, "Are you making fun of me?"

"No, I was just trying to have a good time and make you relax. Wasn't it a fun time?"

"Yes, no. I mean I was busy, you just wasted my time."

"No, no little one. We didn't waste time as we enjoyed it and I will give you the answer once you beat me." Naruto said as the ground beneath her feet rumbled

They were near a park when they stopped and there weren't people nearby. The ground rose 10 m above ground in the shape of simple fighting arena.

"I will give you a reward if you win, not just answer your question."

"Who are you?"

"Naruto Uzumaki"

"Erza from Fairytail" Erza replied as she activated her magic and attacked the enemy

-----------------------------------------

Erza Scarlet was an S rank mage from Fairytail. She was a pure girl that wishes to have the power to protect her friends.

She has an attractive appearance with Scarlet hair and brown eyes as she wore a silver light armor with a blue skirt and black boots.

Erza was a strict person and wasn't very patient with things but somehow this old man that didn't look so old had managed to drag her around for hours and forget her task.

He looked to be in his thirties with that strong looking body and white hair, only his demeanor and aura showed his age.

"You tricked me? I will not forgive you for this." Erza was angry as she had been made a fool and took out her sword

Naruto smiled as he enjoyed the view, "Ark, watch and learn."

Ark nodded as he was sitting on a floating Boulder close to the stage.

Naruto turned to Erza, "I am sorry if I made you angry so I hope you will learn from this experience."

'Stats equalize' Naruto thought as his eyes analyzed the foe

"I will not take unfair advantage of you so let us dance with our blades little one." Naruto said as he took of his robe and stretched his upper body before a sword appeared in his hand

Naruto chose a simple looking long sword with a fox at the hilt.

"Don't underestimate me and fight me seriously. I am Erza Scarlet." Erza roared as he was looking down on her and she dashed at him

With swift movement she closed the distance and slashed at Naruto from above.

Naruto smiled and took a stance as he side stepped at the last moment and slashed at her head.

"Dead" Naruto muttered as his sword stopped near her face and jumped back as Erza attacked with another sword that floated beside her

Erza stopped and looked at him cautiously, if he was serious than she would have died.

'Not an enemy, why is he fighting?'

"Don't be confused, clear your mind and fight without worry. This is a dance so enjoy and forget the worries of the world." Naruto spoke in sage like tone, seducing the young woman to move and forget everything for this moment

Hearing his words, Erza felt her soul touched by something mysterious. She felt the world focus on this moment, the sword, the wind, the light and the foe was everything.

She felt light and free as she floated across the arena fighting with this old man with her countless armors and swords.

Swords flew around the arena, used by both combatants and Erza ended up destroying so many of her equipment in just one battle but felt nothing but joy.

This moment was magical, she felt like a little girl being taught by her father at this moment.

'Is this the feeling of family?' Erza wondered as she looked at that kind and wise face as she was on the floor from fatigue

The night had arrived and the battle had gone for hours.

"You did well, Erza. I am happy at your progress." Naruto said in a gentle tone as he sat down in front of her and touched her cheek

"But I lost so many times."

"And you learnt from those mistakes instead of repeating them. Now for your gift. Hmm, let me think." Naruto said as he placed his hand on his head

Erza felt some emotion inside her heart, she felt shy and awkward now.

"There is no need. I have received something valuable already."

"Pssh, forget about it and take this armor along with this blade. The armor can absorb energy and get stronger while the sword is very sharp and durable with the ability to extend 1km." Naruto said as he passed her the items

Erza felt happy at this gift, she was feeling like a child at the moment and couldn't even decline as she stored the items.

"Thank you"

Naruto pinched those cheeks as she looked so adorable and reminded him of his children.

"You are welcome and the one responsible for that purification was a fairy that looked like this." Naruto picked up Erza as she was feeling really weak and showed her a image of Hinata with small stature wearing a white dress and with green glowing wings

"She also has a golden Halo and I saw her by coincidence as I was camping in the forest." Naruto continued with a serious and awed expression like this tale was actually real

Erza was sold on the story and she would have believed him in her normal persona and in this situation she ate it up like a child.

"Is that so? Thank you for the help."

"No problem, now let's relax in the bath and then have dinner." Naruto said in a happy tone as he jumped down from the stage as it turned to normal

There had been an illusion around to keep people from seeing the situation and intervention as Naruto didn't want to take the spotlight.

--------------------------------------------------

The trio enjoyed the bath and had a bottle of milk.

"Wasn't that relaxing?" Naruto said as he looked at Erza while wearing shorts, his scarred body was on show for everyone to admire

Erza could see that each scar had a history behind it, different foes and regions.

She nodded in agreement as she downed the milk bottle.

"Then let's go eat the town's specialty." Naruto declared as he took his shirt and put it on

The trio got ready and moved to the next stop; there they enjoyed some mutton and some bread with Mead.

Naruto analyzed the taste carefully and then applied his chakra expertly to the rest.

Erza ate and watched with interest as she found the taste bland but once Naruto was done, she couldn't stop eating.

It was too delicious, the best meat dish ever.

By the end of this experience, Erza was following Naruto like a puppy.

Naruto stopped and looked at her, "It is time for us to go our ways."

Erza didn't know why she was feeling conflicted, her guild duties wouldn't intervene with following him.

"Wave of forgetfulness" Naruto shouted as he clapped his hands and walked away

Ark looked back to see Erza staring blankly before leaving.

"What a scary skill? You won't try that on me will you?"

"No way, you are my partner. I used it because she has a life to live instead of following this old man." Naruto said with a smile as he looked back once more at that little Scarlet and moved on from the small town towards the next stop

He decided that climbing and journeying over the mountain was the next target.

Naruto sat on Ark as he ran towards the mountain range at a moderate pace where they could enjoy the sight.

Once they had arrived, Naruto stopped and put up camp to sleep around 10 p.m.

-------------------------------------------------------

The next day Erza woke up and got ready to leave for the guild. She went towards the station and boarded the train.

She looked outside the window to enjoy the view when her eyes landed on the small fairy key chain.

The memories cane to her mind and she felt really embarrassed as she has acted like a child.

Erza covered her face as she was reminded of the scenes, 'I want to bury myself. Ahh, how could I act like that?'

'Why did he do this? Will we meet again? Should I from the guild?'

'No, I shall keep it between us. He deserves to be at peace.' Erza decided not to share but will keep an eye out for his appearance

----------------------------------

In the morning, Naruto had some light breakfast as he ate fried eggs from a magical bird species that looked like a hawk along with some natural juice from a fruit that was closely related to oranges.

Just like usual Naruto buried the camp site into the earth while planting his energy as an offering to the world for blessing him with its bounty.

Trees popped in that area as Naruto stood looking up at the mountain in front of him, it was one of the shortest he had ever climbed and one jump would send him into space but the spirit of adventure demanded that he taste the experience.

"We will be climbing it. Can you do it or should I carry you?" Naruto asked with a smile as he looked at Ark

Ark looked at the obstacle and shook his head, "I can climb it without any issue."

"Good, then go slow and treat it as training." Naruto petted Ark and a seal spread across his body

Ark felt his body become extremely heavy and his steps slow as a normal human. Now the mountain that looked easy started to look scary and Ark was wondering whether he should ask for help.

"Hahaha" Naruto laughed at the expression and patted his back as he started running towards the mountain range; his pace was 30km/h

Ark gulped in some air as he started running behind Naruto with similar pacing, he was starting to feel like a child the more he stayed with his master.

'I wonder how strong I will be once this journey ends.'

------------------------------------

Naruto and Arc climbed by jumping from ledge to ledge and walking up the mountain, it was the best place to show his flexibility and finesse as he seemed to fly from one end to another.

The world was his playground and he was part of it so it was just natural that he moved like he became part of the region.

Ark learned a lot from those movements as it taught him more about stealth and reactions plus about terrain reading.

Ark had almost fallen many times but a ledge appeared every time he almost fell and Naruto looked at him with a look of encouragement.

"Come on, you can do it Ark. I am beside you forget the fear."

Ark felt his spirit rise with each word and look; he didn't want to let down his partner. The man was starting to become such a strong part of his life that Ark wondered if he will also be left behind in the end.

"Good boy" Naruto tickled his mane and fed him candy that he had made, it was filled with natural energy and gave him a reason to expand his powers

They had traveled half way the mountain with its precarious surface and difficult path. It was a just one f the low end mountains of Earth land with a height of 600m but even with peak human level it wouldn't be easy as Naruto made it out to be without equipment.

Naruto looked at the giant bird that flew at him and extended his hand, it landed on his arm.

It was a beautiful magical creature known as Corvisquire and in the sky Naruto could see many of these birds as they fought against other types of avian monsters.

The monsters were having a fight over territory or an item and Naruto found it an amusing show as he sped up to the top while the bird flew back and the rest didn't even sense them.

At the top a giant Corviknight was leading his kind to fight against a Pidgeot and some other land type monsters.

From what he could see, it was a fight for an item in the middle of the battlefield.

Naruto was curious and looked through the obstacles, 'A golden apple? Looks delicious.'

Naruto could feel his appetite speaking up as he saw that large golden apple, there was only one of it and the monsters were going crazy for this item.

Naruto patted Ark as the smell had affected him as well, "Learn to resist the temptation."

Ark felt the words touch his soul and woke from the illusion, "Sorry, I will do better next time."

Naruto smiled and looked back as the situation changed, the terrain was changing as the sky was filled with clouds and it started to rain as lighting storm arrived.

"Impressive little kid, don't you think." Naruto muttered as he stood in such manner that Ark thought he was conversing with someone else, it made him feel an uncomfortable emotion.

'What was that?' Ark couldn't tell as he had never experienced such a thing but he knew it was not what he wanted to taste again

Naruto moved and walked through the massacre that started as the hunter had arrived to calm the damage on the mountain as the battle was affecting the weak monsters in the area.

Naruto took the apple as he saw the lighting strike hit all the monsters within 200m, it was accurate and powerful. It was impressive as he couldn't remember any child having such skill in his days.

'Another one from the same place, these children have attracted each other. A fate that's pulls them together. Ah, the taste of adventure and challenge. I wonder what this world has prepared for them.' Naruto thought with a nostalgic smile, his form looked so mysterious in the rain and the sudden lightning to light up his appearance

--------------------------

Laxus Dreyar was an S rank mage from Fairytail and one proud of his power as he strived to get to the top. He was a buff young man with blonde hair and a lightning bolt scar on his face.

He had chosen a mission on random to pass the night and enjoy battle to practice in live combat so he arrived to scare these monsters into submission.

He was a man of ambition, an ambition that drove him to strive perfection. He wanted the power to be the strongest in history, the best guild master of Fairytail and pass the past.

The current task wasn't difficult for him and Laxus was thinking of looking for a better challenge before his eyes landed on the man getting wet in this lightning storm.

Laxus couldn't understand how but he felt enchanted by the scene and couldn't look away as the man smiled. His happiness as he ate the golden apple was palpable and then the man walked towards him.

'What magic is this?' Laxus thought as he saw the man come closer

------------------------

Naruto added his power's into the magical fruit to strengthen the taste after copying it and sending it home.

The taste was so good that he couldn't help but smile with joy, the juices were so delightful that they brought forth beautiful dreams.

This fruit had power to strengthen magic power but it had no affect on Naruto since his powers were too high for it. Ark was given a piece and Naruto walked towards the Young man that had appeared.

"Thank you for the help, here eat." Naruto said as he cut a piece and presented to Laxus

Laxus felt that the man was very mysterious and already knew about this fruit so he didn't mind eating it as it was delicacy but wouldn't affect him.

'How?' Laxus questioned in surprise as he looked at Naruto, it was so damn good and his magic power just increased

"Magic, little one. You must a friend of the scarlet one." Naruto said as he created a safe space for them, the rain didn't touch the area and he dried up his clothes

Laxus followed his movements and could see that he was not someone normal, 'Who is he?'

"Not yet but soon she will soon be."

Naruto looked at him and flicked his forehead, "You are a naughty child, Laxus and do you know what naughty children get?"

Laxus felt the magic of peace disappear and he felt anger rise in his body at being affected by such pathetic magic.

"You shall pay for this disgrace." Laxus muttered as he punched the man with a fist coated in lightning

Naruto caught the fist as his arm was coated in golden lightning, 'Stats equalized.'

"Let's have fun, little one and you will learn about life from this encounter hopefully before life goes hard on you." Naruto said as he pulled him forward and kicked him in the abdomen

He stretched a bit and showed an excited smile, it was the favorite type of battle.
