28 Black Flames and Celebrations 2

Naruto's body is lean and athletic with more muscle than fat. He has a healthy 6 pack while his muscles are well defined and his face with no baby fat makes him a perfect husband candidate for any normal woman and Mirajane is no normal woman.

"Like what you see" teased Naruto and the next thing she did shocked him. She leapt on him and kissed, lip to lip. After that, they went with the flow. After a small make-out session which ended when both of them lost their breaths, they separated.

Mira has a victorious smirk on her face. "That is what happens when you try to embarrass the She-Devil," she said and gave him a victory sign.

"Ok, I admit. That was hot. But tell me, did you kiss anyone before" asked Naruto as he came out of his daze.

"Ah, no. I didn't" 

"Oh my, are you trying to bag me from other women?" asked Naruto with a teasing smile.

"WHAT!" yelled Mira in outrage.

"Y-you se-see, I didn't do it to bag you or anything. I just did it to prove my point. I'm superior to you and that's it. No discussions on this matter further" said Mira with a little stutter and walked off in frustration. What happened was completely opposite to what she had planned.

"As you wish. I won't say this to anyone" assured Naruto. Mira heard but didn't respond to it.

"Hmm, I didn't expect this, but everything doesn't go as we plan them to," said Naruto and started his exploration of the Island.

As time passed, Naruto reached other members of the Fairy Tail Guild on the Island. He expected them to yell at him, but they didn't. He sat with all the other members who didn't leave the Island yet.

"Ah, Naruto, you are back. You did well in your test. Congratulations on making the S-class" said Wakaba.

"What are you talking about, he is the youngest S-class as well. Give him some credit" said Macao.

"Don't listen to him. He is just sad that we didn't make it" said Macao.

"Can you explain about the youngest part?" asked Naruto.

"Well, you and Erza are born in the same year, Year X765. But her birthday was in June while your's was in October. Which makes you younger than her. Since both of you made S-class, you are recognised as the youngest S-class mage by the Master and soon, the Council as well. Congratulations on that" said Macao and patted Naruto on his shoulder.

"Uhm, thanks," said Naruto awkwardly. There was a moment of awkwardness in the camp area which was resolved by the arrival of Makarov.

"Ah, Naruto, you are here. Can you come with me" said the Old Guild Master. Naruto nodded and followed him. They walked for some time and reached a set of stone buildings. Naruto can sense a sliver of magic from surroundings that could only belong to the buildings and surroundings. There was something here which by the looks of it was destroyed a long time ago and only ruins remain.

"Naruto, this is our Guild Library. Like in the Main Library. I heard stories that our first Master read here and learned her magic" said Makarov in a solemn tone. Fairy Tail's first master is one of the saddest points as she is not known to any of the younger generations and she is the Godmother of Makarov Dreyar, the current Guild Master. Though he didn't share it with anyone.

"Wow. I guess there would be a lot of books on various kinds of Magic there, wouldn't it?" asked Naruto in excitement.

"Indeed, my boy. There are lots of books that are waiting for you to read. I thought of showing this to Levi when she makes it S-class, but it seems you got first here" said Makarov with a smile.

"Does this have any restricted section or something or can I read everything available?" asked Naruto in excitement.

"There are some books which are restricted, but since you made S-Class, I guess you can read them as well. You can read till we start to our Guild tomorrow. I don't want you to bring any books from here. Keep them where they were" said Makarov and left Naruto to his devices.

In a puff of smoke, 100 clones came into existence. All waiting for the original's orders.

"Ok, boys. I want you to find whatever is available about this Island and how it has this unique smell. Let's have some fun" said Naruto and all the clones grinned. He already sent a Clone in disguise to the Council office in Era to do some espionage there. He is going to start his plan soon and the Council will learn their lesson soon.

He wants to learn more about a group of people he found recently. And thought the Council has good information on them as they are the ones who appoint and put them under control generally. The group he is thinking about is called the 10 Wizard Saints. The way he found them is interesting, to say the least.

Flashback a few days ago

"Hey, where is Gramps," asked Natsu.

"He went to Wizard Saints conference," said Gray, picking his ear.

"Huh. That again. I thought they met yearly" said Natsu.

"Guess what, they want to meet now and he went, didn't you any attention when he said don't cause any trouble to you specifically, dead brain," said Gray.

"What did you say, stripping mummy?" said Natsu, a vein popping on his head.

"Are you mocking me" 

"As if,"

"Let's fight, here and now"

"Bring it" and it descended into another Guild brawl which was stopped when Erza came and smacked both Natsu and Gray with her swords.

Flashback End

After that, he started investigating these people and found nothing about who they are and what they are famous for. There is nothing about how it came to be or what are their duties. That's why he sent a clone to Magic Council headquarters in Era, Fiore.

He found something interesting there.

'The Ten Wizard Saints are ten extremely powerful and skilled Mages of the Ishgar continent.

History

To become a member of the Ten Wizard Saints, a Mage must be granted this title by the Chairman of the Magic Council. There are different types of Mages who hold this prestigious title, though a few are known to be S-Class Mages of their respective guilds or even Guild Masters. In fact, some members of the Ten Wizard Saints do not even belong to guilds and can even be a part of the Magic Council. They are a group of the strongest people in Ishgar who were under the Command of the Magic Council. The current top four of the 10 Wizard Saints are-

1. God Serena

2. Draculos Hyberion

3. Wolfheim

4. Warrod Sequen

These 4 combined are called The 4 Gods of Ishgar far surpassing human limits'. 

Read the book from his Clone's memories. There was no mention of any other members of the Wizard Saints by the Council. That means either they are not that strong or belong to some Guild to be freely called by the Council. He knew his Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar, to be one of them. He is going to find more about this group as well and then come to finalise his plan of action against the Magic Council.
