"My name... It is..." - Uzumaki Naruto

Six Paths, Uzumaki Naruto

The kingdom of Fiore. A stable neutral country that have no stakes in wars outside of its boundaries, housing a population of 17 million. A world of magic. In Fiore, magic has become a part of daily lives, and people who uses magic are called mages. These mages belongs to various guilds, and does various jobs on requests, gaining rewards in return for their services.

"It's cold..."

The product formed by a contact between one's physical spirit and the spiritual flow of nature, magic power is the fuel that allows one to use magic. It allows one make the extraordinary ordinary. Performing supernatural feats like conjuring fireballs out of thin air, casting down lightning from the heavens and crafting illusionary hallucinations with a mere thought... All of these becomes possible with the use of magic power. Magic, however, requires intense concentration and mental ability to be utilized. Thus, only ten percent out of the total world's population could use magic.

"Eternano" is the term coined to name the source of magic. Eternano dwells inside all living organisms and throughout the atmosphere. If a mage were to empty his magic power, Eternano from the air can simply enter the mage's body and produce magic power.

Magic simply exists. The world of magic is a mysterious and vast place. Nobody knew when magic began, neither did anybody knew how magic started. Not even the most learned and educated scholars could fathom how magic, or to be more specific, how Eternano, originated. An interesting abnormal phenomenon that combined the supernatural and the logic of science.

"My name.. what is my name?"

"With great power comes great responsibilities." This famous quote by a great man holds true, even in this intricately vast world. With the power of magic, some sought after great goals, aiming to further the development of their race. Some aimed to defend and protect their home from any threats. But for every human who uses their power for good, there is another who uses it for evil.

There are those diabolical and fiendishly evil men and women who uses magic for his or her own devices. It is these selfish men and women that gives the ordinary people reason to fear magic, to view magic as a power of the devil. However, that is not true.

Magic itself is not evil. It is the nature of its wielder that determines whether magic is used for good, or evil. Power corrupts humans and humans corrupt power. These two facets of corruption are merely two sides of the same coin. It is an endless circle, which ultimately ends with humans fighting their own selfish desires.

"I can't remember anything..."

But I digress. With the power of magic, selfish and wicked people of the world sought after destruction, with the mages of good combating them. They were merely small-scale conflicts, until a mage of such great power, a sorcerer who held the power to change the world as we knew it came about.

This mage was known as the Black Wizard, Zeref.

The darkest and most nefariously evil mage to have made his mark upon history, carving his name upon the annuls of time. A mage which could have brought prosperity to the world of magic if he had used his power for good.

"Wait..."

Using his magic, which was known as the "Black Arts", he threw the world into chaos. Wreaking havoc throughout the world, he gathered followers which burnt down the homes of others in his name. Breathing life into an army of demons, he waged war on life and heralded an age of endless darkness. An unstoppable menace that plagued the world on an evil quest.

Of course, the mages who saw that Zeref as evil, the mages who used their power for good fought back. They combated against Zeref and his followers in a huge war. This ancient war, taking place around four hundred years ago, was known as the Arcane War.

The Arcane War, taking place around year X328 was a bloody war that reaped the lives of thousands. A war that involved the whole continent of Fiore. A brutal conflict that plagued the world for five years, Earthland became a battlefield where lives were reaped. Thousands of mages from both sides became casualties, became sacrifices to the bloody inferno known as war.

"It's gradually getting warmer..."

To destroy, and to protect. Mages who fought for these two ideas combated without rest.

Fiore saw the end of this bloody war at X333, when two mages, who held powers to rival Zeref's emerged. Singlehandedly, the pair turned the tide of the war.

One half of the legendary pair was a woman of ethereal beauty. A woman of long auburn wavy hair and large blank eyes of the same color that radiated kindness, and sadness at people losing their lives in the war. She wore a frilly robe and had unusual yet beautiful wing-like protrusions around her ears that served to further her fairy-like appearance. A woman whose beauty was indescribable by words.

This woman was Mavis Vermilion, first guildmaster of Fairy Tail, and master of her own unique brand of magic, Fairy Magic. This magic was far superior to the one that would later come into the possession of Evergreen, a member of Fairy Tail around four hundred years later. Her beauty in battle and her magic caused her to be given the epithet "Eternal Fairy".

"I am starting to remember things..."

The other one was a man. A handsome fellow with unkempt dirty blonde hair that seemed to spike all over the place and defy gravity, with eyes with a shade of azure blue that resembled the oceans and the skies. Occasionally, however, his sclera would turn purple and concentric rings would form around his iris. An intense individual donning a short-sleeved red coat with black flames pattern on the hemline. He sported 3 whisker marks on each cheek, not unlike those from a cat... or a fox.

This individual, whose name was lost in the passage of the sands of time, was only known by his epithet, "Six Paths", for utilizing six different magics that embodied the six paths of reincarnation. Legends spoke of his prowess being great, his ingenuity being infinite and his skills unprecedented. He was unmatched by all mages, save for his partner, Mavis, and his nemesis, Zeref.

With confidence, the deadly duo confronted the Black Wizard for a final time, their battle making their mark upon history. The flare of magic power caused by their battle resounded throughout the whole continent, as storms of fire fell from the heavens, lightning flashed around the battlefield, torrents of water shot up from the earth, tempests of winds shredded were summoned with a mere thought, and earthquakes shook the arena. Magic clashed in a battle that would decide whether the world would be reigned by peace... or further war.

"My name.. it is..."

The battle ended with the successful sealing of the greatest villain the world had ever known. However, victory was not without its losses. A final desperate curse from the Black Wizard incinerated Mavis's physical body to ashes, dooming her to a life as nothing more than a spirit, and froze the Six Paths into a column of ice.

The land the battle took place on eventually strayed from the mainland due to the earthquakes caused from the battle, drifting to the vast ocean to become a solitary island. The island eventually become known as Tenrō Island, the sacred and holy ground of Fairy Tail.

As four hundred years passed, the island became covered by lush green vegetation once again, and a great tree, feasting on the magic power left by the battle, grew into a gargantuan size, its roots protecting an underground chamber that was used to seal the Black Wizard. As four hundred years passed... the icy curse of Zeref grew weaker, until the obelisk of ice finally shattered, releasing the ancient legendary hero. And this story... dictates the adventures of this hero in the vast world of magic in a time not his own.

"MY NAME IS UZUMAKI NARUTO, THE MAGE OF SIX PATHS! AND AFTER EONS, I FINALLY LIVE AGAIN!"

A/N: This is nothing more than a prologue, and an idea I entertained out of boredom. I feel that I should caution you, readers. I might not continue this story, given other circumstances. I will most likely continue it, but the decision is not set in stone. Furthermore, I have not planned how this story will go, thus it might take awhile before I update again. Especially after my fiasco with my previous Rinnegan!Naruto in the Fairy Tail world, I learned my important lesson in planning a story out l0l.
