The Destroyer 2

'As you have seen above, they are quite a unique pair. Moving forward, the Sorcerer's Weekly was informed that he was picked and introduced to Fairy Tail by Gildarts Clive, famously known as the Ace of Fairy Tail. Proving his worth, Naruto with Sirius went on regular jobs and completed them in record time.

By some more digging, we found that Mr Naruto did a misranked S-class job without being an S-class mage. While the Magic Council denies any of those claims, one thing is clear.

Naruto Uzumaki is a strong mage and so he was recognised as such. He is not only the Youngest S-class mage, he was given the Title 'The Destroyer' by the town folks he went on jobs to. They were happy and surprised at the same time at Mr Naruto's work.

There you have it, folks. This concludes our report on Naruto Uzumaki. See you all in the next issue of Sorcerer's weekly' concluded the magazine.

"Damn, that was a nice title. The Destroyer" said Macao.

"No kidding. That kid has gone far in less than a year" said Wakaba. Usually, Macao brings a model edition of Sorcerer's Weekly to 'see' the new models in the Kingdom.

Since he didn't pay attention to things last year, he brought the Yearly edition of Sorcerer's Weekly which was issued more than a few days ago. The magazine congregates everything that happened the previous year and skim through it and publish a brief version of important events and Mages who took the spotlight that year.

Macao and Wakaba read it to get a good grasp on events of the previous year. It seems Naruto took the spotlight that year.

"Hey Naruto, you got an article in Sorcerer's Weekly," said Macao as he saw Naruto walk into the Guild Hall the next day. Naruto was beside him in an instant and read through it at light speed.

"Oho, they didn't tell me they are going to publish it in the magazine. If I had known, I would have given them a good pose" said Naruto with a smile.

"Yup. I would have used some lightning to spice things up" added Sirius.

"Damn. I thought appearing in the magazine is a great achievement" said Macao.

"Maybe that is for Older guys like us, buddy. Kids these days-" sighed Wakaba with his pipe.

"Hey, why are you all around that table?" yelled Natsu as he walked with Happy towards the table.

"Naruto got an article about himself in Sorcerer's Weekly," said Gray.

"What is that?" Asked Natsu in a confused tone.

"Natsu, they are those guys who published your photo in the magazine last year. Don't you remember, we were kicked out of a hotel" said Happy, remembering the name.

"Those guys! I'll maim them" yelled Natsu with fire coming out of his mouth.

"Maim who?" Asked a familiar female voice and Natsu shivered at that.

"Chicken. He is saying he will maim a chicken" said Naruto, saving Natsu from Erza's wrath.

"Erza, look. You and Naruto got an article in Sorcerer's Weekly," pointed out Lisanna further diverting her attention.

"Really?" Asked Erza and read it. She got a wide smile after reading it.

"Congratulations, Naruto. I know you will make the Guild proud" said Erza and hugged Naruto. Everyone thought he will be crushed by the force.

But on the contrary, Erza's Heart Kreuz armour cracked at the area where Naruto's head hit. Everyone was shocked at that and Erza got a perturbed look at that.

"I think I should repair my armour. Keep up the good work, guys" said Erza and went to repair her armour.

"Damn, you have a thick skull, Naruto," said Gray. Naruto didn't reply to Gray's comment as he felt a certain pink-haired mage stare at him.

"Gray-. Are you wearing clothes?" Asked a confused Cana.

"Yup. This coat is very handy. I can feel it if I don't wear it. The temperature is a clear give away" said Gray as he patted his coat.

"That's it. We are going to fight" yelled Natsu, forgetting that Naruto saved him from a strong beating from Erza.

"Now?" Asked Naruto.

"Yea. Why not?"

"How about this, you first try with Sirius?"

"Who is Sirius?" Asked Natsu, confused. Natsu's instincts screamed at him to dodge and so he dodged. The place he dodged from was broken because of a Lightning hit.

"Ooh. Where did that come from? Laxus you bastard" yelled Natsu. But when he saw up, Laxus was not there on the second floor to smirk at him.

"Huh?"

"It's Sirius, dummy," said Happy, pointing to an angry Sirius who was glaring at Natsu, his blazing with fury.

"Oh, Happy's friend. No. I'll fight you. He can fight that stripper" said Natsu, pointing towards a comfortable Gray.

"Fine. I'll fight him" accepted Gray. Sirius got a happy smile. This is his first time to really fight someone on his own and he is excited about it.

"Let's meet outside," said Naruto and flew towards the backyard. Sirius, Happy, Natsu and Gray followed. Rest of the Guild followed excitedly to watch the match.

There was a large empty space behind Fairy Tail Guildhall facing Lake Sciliora, a large lake in Fiore. It was decided that the first fight will be between Sirius and Gray.

Sirius and Gray stood facing each other in their respective stances. Gray with his right hand closed on his left and Sirius in his battle mode. But hands spread across, making a defensive motion.
