Secret Mission Part 2.3

"Um, yes. He says someone named Jellal is leading it managing all the people there. He also explained his appearance. A blue-haired man with a red tattoo on his right eye, sir" said the assistant.

"Blue hair and a red tattoo on his right eye, huh. Sounds familiar" said a councilwoman, Belno. Belno is a tall middle-aged woman. She wears a cloak like other council members and has on a purple turtle-neck. Her most noticeable trait is her long nose, which gives her more of a witch-like appearance. She has sandy blonde hair, which she tied up into a large ponytail that seems to fan out into a series of spiky tear-dropped shaped tufts of hair.

"Allow me to explain that councilwoman, Belno," said a young man with blue hair and a red tattoo on his face.

"Ah, Siegrain. Yes, we are going to call you. Can you explain who is this look-alike?" asked Seam.

"I don't know who this person is. But I'll do my best to find his relation to me. But I have a question. What if the Fairy Tail mage is fabricating things" said Siegrain. Sowing the seed of doubt in the Magic Council on Fairy Tail.

"Hmm, not far fetched. Did you come into contact with any one of their members recently?" asked Org, thinking.

"No, sir. The last time I came into contact with any one of them is when Erza Scarlet is here" said Siegrain in a calm tone.

"Well I can't confirm it, but we hold judgement on this person for now," said the chairman.

"Of course, Chairman" chorused the Council.

"Now, it seems Fairy Tail is at it again. What else does Makarov have to report"

"Sir, he explained about the mage who was sent on the Job and sent another letter with it," said the frog-like person and gave the chairman the letter.

"Hmm, what is this, S-class candidate list and Naruto Uzumaki is one of them" read the chairman aloud, to let the other members hear.

"Naruto, I heard of him from one of our captains," said Org. As he saw no one object, he continued.

"Apparently the brat is strong and is seen as once in a generation member of that rambunctious guild. He didn't damage much even when he went on a mis-ranked S-class job" recollected Org.

'Naruto Uzumaki. I should be careful with him. I think he is the reason for all of this' thought Siegrain. Fairy Tail is known for their familial bonds as well, aside from its destructive tendencies of course.

"If I may leave," said Siegrain and was allowed to leave. He went straight to his office. Because of this new character, he was close be revealed to the Council.

"What happened," asked a female voice, Siegrain turned to see a young woman she is a pale-skinned woman with dark purple hair and brown eyes. Her hair was in a free flow that reached her waist. She has a well-developed figure for her age, and she wears a long revealing white dress like a priestess, sporting a striped pattern at the edges and red pants.

"Ultear. Nothing which is to be concerned about. The plan went well" said Siegrain.

"Come on, tell me. It's not like I'm going to tell anyone else" said Ultear in a sweet tone. Siegrain sighed.

"Well, as we planned, the mage who was sent, was from Fairy Tail and saw everything at the Tower and confirmed its construction for the council" he tried to continue but was interrupted by Ultear.

"Isn't that good?"

"It would have been only if the idiot didn't see Jellal's face. He reported that as well and the old fools caught up to that. Though I expertly re-directed it as Fairy Tail's scheme" said Siegrain with a smug smirk.

"That's great. Don't you think we should careful with this mage?" she asked as she sat in the chair in front of him.

"Yes, but for now we should proceed as planned. I can't change all my plans because of one person"

"Yes, meanwhile, I'll deal with this person. Who is it and what's the name?"

"He is a fairy tail mage called Naruto Uzumaki. He got recommend in the upcoming S-class trials of Fairy Tail" he said and Ultear nodded and stood from her chair.

"Naruto I see, I'll be on my way then," she said and started to walk out of the room only to be stopped by Siegrain's voice.

"Be careful with him, Ultear. I don't know why, but I have this uncertain feeling about him" he said and Ultear smirked confidently.

"I'll" is the only response she gave before vanishing into the hallways. Siegrain sat there and continued on his work.

 

In the Council Room

"Are you telling a new mage went on an S-class job?" asked Belno in surprise.

"No, I'm telling you he went on a normal job which ended up being an S-class job as the village can't afford it," said Org. Most of the council members were surprised by this revelation.

"Be it as it may be, what do you suppose our action on Fairy Tail should be" asked, Yuri.

"What are talking about, they didn't do any mistake or destroy anything this time" argued Yajima. Yajima is a short, old man with thick light-brown eyebrows and a small toothbrush moustache that reaches halfway to his mouth. He wore a brown long sleeve shirt with black vertical stripes and a black three-spiked hat. His eyes were always closed except for extraordinary circumstances. He is an Ex-Fairy Tail mage who is against the actions of the Council towards his former guild.

"That Naruto wantedly accused Siegrain don't you think. As a member of the Magic Council, I can't tolerate such rude behaviour" said Org.

"We didn't see the person in that Tower in person or Naruto might have mistaken the person or it might be a disguise all along. We can't judge things based on what we don't know" argued Yajima.

"Calm down, everyone. I think what Mr Yajima says has merit. As we don't know who the culprit behind this Tower is, we can't take action. I want to keep an eye on this tower. As for Naruto Uzumaki, I am going to talk to Makarov in person and decide about him. We can't take accusing an employee of the Council lightly" said the chairman and everyone agreed. The Council was dismissed after that session and Everything went as normal except for the name Naruto Uzumaki coming into the notice of the council.

 

After that mission, Seam, the Chairman of the Magic Council met Makarov Dreyar and raised his concerns about the person described in the report sent to the Magic Council. Makarov confirmed that is the same person and Naruto saw him in person.

While the council chairman looks disturbed by the news, they concluded on investigating in private to confirm this fact. After that, Naruto went on his normal mission and unknown to anyone a new player entered into the arena to play a game of cat and mouse with the Council.
