'Water Style: Shielding Dragon,' thought Naruto and erected another water barrier around the island.
"Rrrrrrrrruuuuuuuummmmmbbbbbbllllllllleeeeeeeeee"
Everyone heard the thundering crash of waves hitting the two barriers and children started to cry. Soon, everyone stopped as the cave's disturbance settled.
Everything returned to normal after a few minutes and Naruto and his hand visibly relaxed. "Phew, it's over," breathed Gray.
"No kidding. That thing is very strong," added Sirius as he landed on the ground. He is using his wings to stay floating to escape if the strong ways break the island. But it didn't come to that as his father protected the island.
"Are you all okay?" Naruto asked looking around and after seeing everyone in good shape, he turned to the approaching village Elder.
"We have successfully neutralised the threat and the cave will not cause any more," Naruto said with a confident smile.
The elderly woman closed her eyes as if to sense something and after a few seconds, she turned to Kagura in shock.
"Is that- is that what I think it is?" She asked in surprise, her hands covering her mouth.
"Do you know of this, ma'am?" Kagura asked surprised and the elder nodded. "Yes. I can remember it from the paintings," she replied.
"There are paintings about the sword?" Naruto asked surprised.
From what he learned about this world, the knowledge about so many things lost 400 years ago and the few things that survived it are well preserved and tend to be abnormal much like his Slayer Magic.
"There used to be, son. But in one of the cyclones, it was wiped out. The last reminisce of it was just destroyed." She said, staring at the place where the cave used to be.
"Oh, we are sorry for your loss," Naruto said, understanding the historical importance of the cave he had partly destroyed.
"No need to worry, child. We are accustomed to it by now. Mora, give them their reward. They had a long journey home," she called and a man stepped forward with a large bag of cash.
"Please jeep to repair the island, ma'am. We didn't do much. She is the one who the sword chose. Please give it to her." Naruto denied their reward. Neither Sirius nor Gray spoke.
"What are you talking about? If you didn't save me, I couldn't have survived that attack," Kagura rebuked, pushing the reward towards Naruto.
"Ok. I'll divide it equally. Some fight here," said Mora and divided it and gave everyone equal amounts. Everyone got 200,000 Jewels.
"Please keep my part for repairs, " said Naruto and left his reward near the Elder who nodded acceptance.
"Before you go, I ask you to take good care of Archenemy, girl. It is not like a normal sword and just by chosen by it, you became special," said the Elder and Kagura nodded.
"Ok, we'l-"
Groan
Everyone turned to see a groaning Natsu who started to move and woke up after getting knocked out. He looked around with drowsy eyes and was confused by the change in scenery.
"Huh? Where am I?"
"Thank God you woke up, Natsu. I was worried," said Naruto and Natsu looked to the blonde.
"Fishies! Yum, yum fishies," said a dreamy Happy as he tried to catch a fish in his dream. Natsu's stomach growled hearing that and he looked around in embarrassment.
"Uh, can eat something?" He asked cluelessly and the village elder nodded.
"In my hurry, I forgot about our guest honours. Please, this way," she said as showing them a small but which was made of tree leaves.
"We can eat in a nearby town, ma'am. My friend eats a lot," Naruto tried to reject her offer as they can eat a lot. But the Elder had none of it.
"I fed people who can empty a restaurant, boy. Now move!" She ordered and Naruto didn't have much choice. They moved to eat, including Kagura.
