Bonds of Blood

"You are indeed my son and the humans on that Magic Council would do anything for power. My power would be used for their idiotic experiments and since you are not affiliated with any guilds, which I suggest you keep that way, they cannot find you and they cannot bind you to any laws. Also, I have caught wind of the fact that the son of Igneel has joined the guild of Mavis Vermilion" Naruto's eyebrow raised slightly at that.

"The son of Igneel-teme is a part of Fairy Tail?" He asked. Acnologia nodded.

"He has built a reputation for himself, going by the title of 'Salamander'. His status as a Dragonslayer is quite public to those who know of him and I suggest you try to avoid them as much as possible because Dragonslayers have the ability to recognize one of their own. Dragons are bound together through an unnatural bond, the same goes for the Dragonslayers. Though, it is possible that though a Dragonslayer may feel like he or she knows you, but will not know realize they have that feeling because you are a dragonslayer like them."

"However, the ability to sense dragonslayers becomes almost instinctual once dragonslayers are able to detect one another after the first time. The most effective way to mask your presence is to use your wind nature to cover it up. The high concentration of wind magic should be able to prevent it from being noticed. To aid in this, use your wind magic more often." Naruto nodded.

"Yes, Tou-san. I can use my Energy Make as well right? Rasengan appears as though it would be effective in taking down my opponents and with Energy Make being pure magic it would also be an excuse should they somehow stumble upon my use of pure magic in battle."

"Energy Make and Wind Magic would be your best bets in keeping your dragon attacks a secret. Besides, you are MY dragonslayer. They don't deserve the right to see my power as shown through your actions. Only use it against those who you deem worthy of seeing it."

"I understand."

"Good...you have Ascalon and Excalibur, correct?" Naruto nodded and rolled back his sleeves slightly to reveal two magic seals, one on each wrist. The one on right wrist was gold and the one on his left wrist was silver.

"I got them right here. Learning Seal Magic was a bit difficult with all the theoretical knowledge, but the simple storage seals are the only things I can use right now. I also used them to help store away some of our supplies to give room for other stuff." Naruto said as he patted his bulging backpack.

"I see, seems you are not as completely worthless as I thought. You humans are actually able to think." Acnologia smirked inwardly as he saw the annoyed look on the boy's face. He just loved to annoy the hell out of his son. "Ascalon and Excalibur are swords capable of puncturing a dragon's hide and as such, I have not taught you how to wield them, so I suggest you look for a teacher."

"Despite my objections for you to be taught by one of your own kind... sniveling human vermin...they are the only ones capable of wielding such weapons." Acnologia turned and looked back at Naruto and Kurama.

"Now I must take my leave and remember what I told you." Naruto nodded.

"Spare the ones I deem strong...find a strong mate and...make you proud." Acnologia nodded.

"Good, now leave my presence you snivelling piece of human filth." Acnologia roared.

"Shut up you overgrown garden snake before I turn you into a pair of dragon skin boots!" Naruto roared back. Kurama sighed as he watched the two.

'If I weren't used to this, I would never have guessed they actually respected each other.' The red eyed feline thought, sweatdropping as the two argued. After Dragon and Dragonslayer had their argument a deafening silence filled the air. The only thing breaching that silence was the sound of sand grains being rolled over one another by the softly howling winds.

"Tou-san?" Acnologia nodded. "Is it true what you told me...about how and why you are being targeted by the Dragon King?" Acnologia growled.

"I have no reason to lie, Naruto. What I have told is the total truth as to why the Dragon King is targeting me and why I am not bound by his laws." Naruto growled before looking into Acnologia's eyes.

"Then I will find him...I will find Alagaesia, the dragon homeland. I will find it, I will find the Dragon King...and I will live up to my title and I will slay him for what he did. No one, but a weak fool of a dragon would do what he did in order to gain his title as king." Naruto snarled. Acnologia was shocked by the boy's outburst.

"Naruto..." The Black Dragon grinned widely in the end before spreading his giant, black wings, "Then when you are strong enough, when I deem you strong enough... I will come for you and we will kill that bastard of a dragon." Naruto nodded, eyes burning fiercely with determination and anger. His pupils became slitted and magic energy became visible around his figure in a black and blue haze. The mark of his mastery over the magic of his adoptive father.

"I will make him pay for what he did to you, Tou-san. I swear an Oath of the Dragon...I will kill the Dragon King." Naruto said. Thunder rumbled in the sky even though there were no storm clouds evident and the Dragon of the Apocalypse nodded to his son before taking off. Acnologia took off into the skies, releasing one last roar before vanishing into the clouds above. Naruto and Kurama watched the Black Dragon before turning away.

"You're going to miss him, aren't you? Despite all the hateful things he's said you, he did take care of you...and you're going to miss him" Kurama said as he flew next to his partner. Naruto growled, pupils becoming slits as his rage spiked. The blonde bared his sharpened canines, a mark of him being a dragonslayer.

"WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK I WOULD MISS THAT OVERGROWN GARDEN SNAKE!" Kurama turned and his crimson eyes met Naruto's cerulean ones. Naruto looked slightly confused as he saw Kurama's lips shape themselves into a frown.

"Because..." The fox costumed wearing cat spoke. Kurama reached out with a paw and swept a single, black claw underneath Naruto's eye and showed it to Naruto. A single drop of liquid was shown at its tip causing the boy to gasp.

"You're crying."

Unknown Desert- Three Days later

Kurama panted as he watched Naruto. The blonde mage was using Fuuton: Tobu to allow him to fly across the desert sands and the costumed cat was now having to flap his wings furiously as the miniature tornadoes beneath Naruto's feet were propelling the blonde through the air rather quickly.

"OI, NARUTO!" The blonde turned back with a puzzled look.

"What, Kurama?"

"Slow down for a while, we've been flying for hours" Kurama said as he suddenly caught up with Naruto before grabbing onto the boy's head and made his resting place, "On second thought, you can continue. I'll just ride you along the way." Naruto's eyes twitched at the cat as he saw it give him a vulpine grin.

"You lazy fur ball" Naruto grumbled. The boy suddenly caught a scent in the air and he suddenly stopped. Kurama gripped the boy's locks tightly to keep him from flying off and due to Naruto's tolerance to pain, he barely felt the pulling of his hair roots as Kurama flew forward from the sudden stop.
