Makarov's Office

"She looks fine and got a boost of some kind," said Makarov as they sat in his office at which Naruto nodded.

"Yes. There is an incident that made it possible." He said cryptically and Makarov asked for an explanation and Naruto started explaining.

"So are you telling me is after she released all the souls, they wanted to be a part of her as she use Soul Take Over?" Asked Makarov for clarification and Naruto nodded.

"More or less. I sealed it with a Rune and it will unlock whenever she was ready for the next injection. I don't think there will be any side effects to what happened in Joya.

But yeah. It's all well and good, now. She is stable and doing well." Naruto said with a goofy smile. Makarov nodded taking everything and he got a perverse smile.

"What did you do when you are alone with her?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Naruto sighed. 'They both are almost same,' he thought remembering the perverted old sannin who taught him before he arrived here.

"Maybe something, maybe not. Who knows," said Naruto with a straight face. Makarov's smile dropped for a second until he remembered something and changed to a serious one.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I can't track Sirius and lost his whereabouts a week ago. I sincerely apolo-"

"Sirius and Loke are well, Gramps." Said Naruto mimicking the seriousness. Makarov got wide-eyed. There is no way for both of them to meet as they have different jobs in different locations.

Both locations literally are countries apart and if Naruto knew about Sirius and Loke's whereabouts, then something must have happened. His mind processed this under a second.

He gave Naruto a go ahead and Naruto continued about what happened and how the job was a trap. He knew the truth would hurt the old man, but he needed to relieve this with someone.

Though he blamed himself for what happened, he came to terms with it after his and Sirius's talk and is more relieved to explain what happened to the old man.

"Oh my God. I didn't expect it to be this complicated, Naruto. I'm sorry again for being senseless and sending Sirius and Loke on those jobs.

Wait, does this mean the low magic concentration is in the area you fought, right?" Asked Makarov, realising an important detail.

"Don't know, gramps. I did see a weird thing in the sky, which I used to get rid of that annoying Demon, I don't know anything other than that," said Naruto.

The mood of the room changed from happy to sour. Naruto didn't like it and so asked the question that was bugging him.

"When will you spar with me?" Asked a curious Naruto. That brought a smile to the old Master's face.

"Spar, you say. Hmm, I attended the Guild Masters meeting last week and it won't take place for another 2 weeks. If we count that, say, after 10 days?"

"10 days, huh. That fits my schedule. I don't plan on taking any job for at least 2 weeks and even then, I'll take normal jobs. I promised Sirius an S-class job after I come back, so that's fine," Naruto said, extending his hand and Makarov nodded after a bit of contemplation.

They discussed the terms of spar and Naruto assured him of a suitable location where they can go all out and without damage anything.

10 days later

As Naruto decided, he took care of Sirius and Loke as they recovered to their full health and joined him on his way towards the guild today.

Naruto spent the last 10 days getting to know his Guildmates better and they all seemed grateful for his company as he is always on jobs and doesn't spend much time in the guild.

Mira was happy with him for some reason, she didn't even talk about the forced teleportation he did after their collection. He decided to not look a gift horse in the mouth and acted like nothing happened.

As the day of spar came, Makarov secretly made his way to the forests around Magnolia as Naruto asked him to wait for him there. He is deep in thought about the upcoming spar.

'It's been quite a while since I last fought. It is going to be interesting to see where I stand,' thought Makarov and he sensed a presence behind him, he reacted like lightning.

"Nice try, Naruto. But I'm a good sensor for that to work on me," said Makarov as he turned to see a smiling blonde.

"You bet, Gramps. Shall we go?" He asked, extending his hand and Makarov expected it to be some kind of teleportation and gave him his hand.

"Kamui," whispered Naruto and they vanished in a black vortex, they were sucked into an empty landscape which is very large and stretched as far as eyes can see. It was full of trees and mountains with rivers flowing and a bright sun that looked like a perfect picture of a well-grown forest.

"Are you sure our spar won't affect this?" Makarov asked gesturing to the forest.

"Nope. This is a pocket dimension of sorts and whatever happens here doesn't affect the outside world." Assured Naruto as he took his relaxed stance.

"Then let's get started," said Makarov as he changed. Instead of a diminutive old man, he changed into a baby giant, standing at a good 10 feet tall with a long arm charging towards him.
