Chapter 1

Unknown Location X?

A young boy was running across an empty field as he was running he came across a cliff. The young boy who salmon colored hair walked to the edge and what he saw was something that will stay with him for most of his life. The young boy saw a war-torn battlefield, he saw people killing each other striking each other down with magic and weapons blood was splattering everywhere. The young boy had a traumatized look on his face as he watched the people slaughter each other.

As the battle ceased the young boy slid down the cliff to explore the battlefield and to see if there were any survivors. He saw dead bodies everywhere not one survivor in sight. The young boy then passed by another body until he heard something.

*Cough* cough* the body of a man let out. The young boy ran up to the injured man and took out his water pouch from his belt.

"Here have some water" the young boy poured the water down the man's mouth. The man began to drink the water and began to slightly open his eyes. When the man had his eyes slightly opened he saw a young boy with salmon colored hair wearing a black shirt and shorts. The man then saw something on the boys belt the man grew a shocked and fear face he saw it was a kunai holster along with a shuriken pouch. The man's thought immediately shouted enemy. The man immediately stood up and tried to attack the boy.

"AAAHHH" the man screamed as he went to attack the boy, but the young boy by instinct cut the man's throat with a kunai. Blood pouring from the man's slit throat as the man fell to the ground making a pool of blood from his throat. The young boy looked at the dead man with a sadden and regretful look. The boy then felt a strong gust of wind, he turned around and saw it was a giant red dragon with an "X" shaped scar on his body. The boy did not seem afraid of the dragon, he knew the dragon. The dragon was his father.

"I told you not to wander off Natsu" the dragon spoke to the boy. The boy then looked up at the dragon and opened his mouth.

"Igneel, Why did this man try to kill me. I did nothing wrong" the boy questioned the dragon as he looked at the man he killed. Igneel signed at his son's question.

"Because this is war Natsu," Igneel told him. "A war," Natsu said.

"Yes, people's sense of morality tends to be twisted during times of war, that is why strangers kill each other" Igneel told him. "Now let's go, your training must continue" Natsu nodded at this and climbed on to Igneel's back and they flew off. Though this event will forever remain into Natsu's memory.

…

"Okay, Natsu now show me Bunshin no Jutsu" Igneel told the young boy. Natsu nodded at this and started to weave hand signs.

"Bunshin no Jutsu" Natsu said when he said this four puffs of smoke appeared next to him, out of the smoke appeared four other Natsu that looks exactly like each other. Igneel looked impressed and surprised.

"Ah, you already mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu, as expected of your bloodline" Igneel praised.

"My bloodline" Natsu head tilted.

"Yes, you are a descendant of great clan warriors that were masters of Ninjitsu," Igneel told him.

"Really," Natsu asked.

"Yes" Igneel nodded "Your clan also possess a great power that I know one day you'll achieve"

"Can you tell me more about this power?" Natsu asked. Igneel smiled back at "Him, of course, my son, after that we would have to continue your dragon slaying training"

Igneel then told Natsu stories of his clan's history, Natsu was in awed by this and stayed invested. He heard stories of his clan's tragic history and how they were viewed as the strongest clan in the world.

After some time Natsu fell asleep, he was laying down under a tree. Igneel looked at the sleeping boy and smiled.

"I know, one day soon you'll awaken your power and it will one day change the world," Igneel said as he looked at the sleeping boy.

"I must leave you now my boy, but I'll always be watching you". Igneel had a sad look on his face when he said this. Igneel then looked towards the night sky stars shining.

"That power could be the only thing that can stop "him" ".

Natsu opened his eyes to see he was an empty field sleeping under a tree. Natsu looked around confused seeing that he was all alone.

"Igneel" Natsu called. "Where are you" Natsu continued to call out to his father, when he looked around he found a note inscribed on to the ground.

Natsu,

Even though I am not there I will continue to watch over you Take this scarf and scrolls these will help you on your journey. I will see you again soon

Love Your Father,

Igneel

Natsu began to tear up when he read the letter from his father.

"Igneel, why?" Natsu even though he was crying he had a smile. "Thank you" Natsu wiped away his tears, as he was wiping his tears he felt something different about his eyes. Noticing this, Natsu took out his kunai to look at his reflection, and he was shocked to see that his eyes are now different.

"This is.." Natsu' eyes were now red with a two tomoe with a black dot in the center of both eyes. "The Sharingan, this is what Igneel told me about. My Kekkei Genkai"

"This is amazing I can see the flow of chakra" Natsu was in amazement at his new power. Natsu feels his senses better than ever.

"Igneel, once I master this power I am going to find you and prove my strength to you" Natsu clenched his fist in determination

A few Days Later

Natsu had been traveling for a few days, he had been hunting to survive, he couldn't really stay in towns as he has no money so he stayed in the wilderness. He was alone just traveling, he barely goes into towns, only staying in the forest. Natsu then felt someone approaching from behind, Natsu turned around swiftly taking out his kunai and got into a fighting position. Out of the rustling bushes where he heard the noise emerged a short old man with a white mustache he had a pipe in his mouth and he wore formal attire a white tunic with black pants and a white coat. Natsu kept his guard up, as even though it was a small old man he felt great power from him.

"Why Hello there boy," the old man said to Natsu. The old man notices that Natsu was still holding his kunai. "Now there is no need for a fight young man, I just want to talk" the old man reassured. Natsu had sensed no malice from the man and put the kunai away and let the old man speak.

"So young man, why are you here by yourself," the old man asked him.

"My father, he left me," Natsu told the old man. The old man's eyes widen at this, hearing that the boy's father just left him. Natsu noticing this and understood what the old man was thinking.

"Don't misunderstand mister. My father did not abandon me he wanted me to try to grow stronger on my own and go and find him once I am strong enough" Natsu reassured the old man.

"Oh I see, he wants you to try and grow on our own does he" The old man signed. "Well boy, who is your father?"

"His name is Igneel and he's the Fire Dragon King," Natsu told him

"A dragon surely you're joking," the old man said.

"No, I'm not" Natsu then ignited his fist on fire "See"

"Ah, dragon slaying magic," the old man said as he looked at the boy. "That makes you a dragon slayer then right"

Natsu nodded "Yes Sir"

"Igneel also taught me other stuff too, besides this"

"Well, my boy how about you come and join my guild Fairy Tail, I'm sure you'll grow stronger there, and be able to find your father".

"Fairy Tail? Isn't that the guild that's considered the strongest in Fiore I keep hearing about" Natsu asked.

"Why yes it is, but it's not just a group of strong wizards. Its a family with wizards and youngsters like yourself" the old man told him.

"Are you sure you want someone like me?" Natsu asked.

"Yes Fairy Tail welcomes all who want to learn and grow" the old man answered the boy with a smile.

"Okay I'll join your guild, it sounds like a nice place," Natsu told him.

"That's great, my name is Makarov Dreyar and I am the guild master of Fairy Tail. Now, what is your name young man" the man known as Makarov asked.

"My name is Natsu...Natsu Uchiha"
