The Neglected One: Naruto of Fairy Tail

23: The Seal

++ Change POV

--- Small Timeskip

Naruto slinked out of the fight before disappearing in a flash. He appeared at a strange cave with special writing, drawings, and marks that looked as if they were made thousands of years ago.

"Kurama, activate the seal"

The fox appeared and quickly gathered chakra into his paw before slamming it into one of the marks, a round, circular seal. The grooves on the wall glowed as the seal seemed to come out of the wall. Suddenly, a large burst of chakra was felt as the pressure was instantly increased. Rocks and boulders started to fall as the air around them rippled. Then it stopped.

"So you are my reincarnation?"

Naruto turned around and stared at the man who had appeared behind him. He had brown, spiky hair and white bandages acting as a headband.

"Good evening Ashura-sama"

"Yeah, yeah" Ashura waved his arm in dismissal. "ya don't need to call me that"

Kurama sweatdropped at the two shinobi's behavior towards titles.

"Anyway, this is my tomb, where I put the last of my chakra to create my being for a short while to discuss the...plan"

Naruto nodded. "Acnologia has risen along with resurrected dragons. I am not sure where he had learned such a spell or jutsu, but I am certain that his goal is to destroy the world"

"Yes. The plan...would you carry it out on the battlefield or before?"

"On the battlefield" Naruto responded.

The plan was a dangerous one, something that could cause him much sadness, but at the same time, save his friends.

He would have to merge with the tailed beasts, making him immortal and hundreds of times more powerful than he was originally. This comes with a cost, just like most things do.

The tailed beasts would have to die out.

They were there for Naruto ever since the time when he left Konoha. They were his best friends. To leave use this technique...it was like killing them himself. Naruto had always dreaded using the technique, but now that Acnologia was back with Edo Tensei dragons, he might be forced to.

Ashura sighed. "I really don't want to do this either Naruto, but you will have to, or else this world might as well be gone. And the jutsu that my father created...you know that you will have to use it, right?"

Naruto nodded sadly as Kurama looked on in curiosity. "What jutsu?" He asked.

"This jutsu will most likely break my heart, or rather, break it even more" Naruto said. "See...this jutsu...it will..."

------

Kurama stared in silence and shock. Not only would it break his heart even more from the merging, but maybe even drive him insane. All of his friends, his family, they would be gone like the wind. He could never see them anymore. The friendships that he had forged, the bonds that he had created, would be no more.

"B-but there must be some way that you can get back to them right?" He asked.

"No. At least I don't think so" Ashura said. Suddenly, Naruto looked at him in curiosity and a bit of hope.

"So there might be a way to get back?" He asked.

Ahura shrugged. "Hopefully, but knowing me, or you, we would probably never stop. Besides..." He said, before grinning and putting a thumbs up. "Believe it!"
