The night was one thing in Remnant that was to be both enjoyed...and feared. For during the night, one could see beauty. The shattered moon that illuminated the sky and the water of local ponds or lakes that seemed to glow with the same intensity. But during the night there were also many frightening aspects. Humans feared the faunus and their night vision while at the same time the faunus feared the humans and their ambushes.
During one of these nights is where our story begins. The broken moon lit up the forest in a great glow of light but even with the moons help, it was still near pitch black under the trees. An icy wind blew through the woods as a figure moved silently below the tree tops.
The figure moved at amazing speeds despite the colossal sword strapped to it's back. The figure looked to be a male, maybe one of eighteen years or so. He had a dirty brown cloak covering his body with a hood of the same color shadowing out his face, although you could see a bit of blonde hair poking out.
He was about average in height although with the sword strapped to his back, it made him seem shorter.
The sword itself was quite something. A sleek metallic shine was obvious from the huge blade. The handle was wrapped up in bandages that seemed to trail up the blade, stopping near the middle. There was a hole near the top that seemed to be lined with some different plating. Over all the sword looked like a weapon a merciless killer would wield. How appropriate, considering the name of the weapon.
The running figure finally made it to where he was headed for, the fields outside of the forest. Running out of the wooded area, the boy breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped into the wheat fields and away from the dangers of the forest.
"Why did I ever take this job..." He muttered, reaching up and taking off his hood.
Under the hood was a young man with untamed spiky blonde hair and two orange fox ears sitting a top his head. His cerulean eyes scanned the fields for any danger as he walked through them and his mouth was set firmly into a frown. Three faint whiskers where located on each side of his tanned cheeks.
This was Naruto Uzumaki, fox faunus and professional huntsmen, proud owner of the executioner's blade.
Brushing past all the wheat as he went through the muddy field, his thoughts took him back to why he was here in the first place.
(Flashback)
Naruto was staring at the mission lists and was trying to decide on what to take. Going through all his options, he sighed as he could not find one that interested him.
"Having some trouble Naruto?" A voice said from behind him.
Turning around Naruto saw the headmaster, Ozpin, looking at him with a knowing smile. He was dressed as he always was and was slowly stirring his coffee around in his cup. Naruto scratched his back in embarrassment at being caught.
Even though Naruto had already graduated Beacon last year, an astounding accomplishment to say the least, he was still young. If he wanted to go out and complete a mission, he would still have to take a more experienced huntsmen or huntress with him.
As for why Naruto was even still around Beacon after graduating, well he just didn't have much to do. People didn't give jobs to inexperienced huntsmen over the experienced ones, so it wasn't uncommon for recent graduates to stick around for a little while to get more missions.
"Ah, yes headmaster. Not a lot of choices I see right now are interesting enough." Naruto casually said.
Ozpin chuckled at the laid back nature of his ex-student. Naruto had always been the odd one out in his classes. While everyone else in his classes were serious or unsocial, Naruto was lazy, laid back, and charismatic. It's what made Ozpin keep a close eye on him and he was glad he had. Ozpin stopped stirring his coffee and reached over to the holographic list, scrolling through the options.
When he finally reached what he was looking for, he pointed at it, gaining Naruto's attention. "Why not this one hmm? It would look great on your resume if you completed it."
The blonde looked at it lazily and slightly nodded his head in approval. "I suppose this could work. Now I just need a partner to go out with..." He muttered, putting a hand to his chin in a thinking pose.
Ozpin coughed to get the younger man's attention and smiled at the confused look from the blonde. "How about we...bend the rules a bit. If you can complete this mission alone then I'll let you go on any other C or B ranked missions alone. You will need to have a more experienced hunter to shadow you during A ranked missions however. Deal?" Ozpin explained, reaching out to shake the boy's hand.
Naruto smirked at the chance of proving himself and nodded, shaking the older man's hand. "You got a deal old man!"
Selecting the mission, he ran off to get a ride on one of the ships to go on his first solo assignment. Ozpin smiled in his direction as he took a look at the mission on the board.
Mission Name: Unknown Grimm Activity
Mission Level: B
Description: An Unknown Grimm has been sighted near the forests on the outskirts of Vale. The people who had witnessed the Grimm say it may be a new type of Grimm so take caution in this mission.
Ozpin looked back as the ship took off and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Good luck Naruto..." He then walked off sipping his coffee.
(Flashback End)
"Oh yeah, that's why." He grumbled as he finally got out of the fields. It had taking him all day to find that stinking Grimm and it had quickly turned night during his search. It turns out that the Grimm that he was searching for was, in fact, a new breed that he hadn't seen before. It looked to be a giant lizard, almost like a chameleon as it seemed to be able to hide itself in the trees be changing it's color. Of course it had the obvious looks of a Grimm, white mask like head, black body, and extremely sharp claws.
Finding that he was out matched in it's natural habitat, he had tried to lure it out of the forest and into the field nearby. This is where we are now, with the blonde making his way into the tall grass nearby.
The Grimm yelled out as it made itself known behind Naruto. The young Huntsmen smirked as he turned around, unclasping his blade from his back and quickly shedding his cloak. Underneath he had a set of metal plates decorating around his body to protect him. A black combat suit was underneath that allowing his movements to be more agile.
"What is it? Want a piece of me?" He yelled out as he smirked and placed both of his hands on the handle of the massive cleaver. The Grimm roared again as it quickly ran at the boy. Naruto got into position as he waited...waited...wai-NOW!
The Lizard took a massive swipe at him but he was ready for it as he jumped into the air, right over the claw. Hands gripping tightly on his handle, he brought it down in a massive arc, showing the strength that the blonde held. The blade swiftly came down on the creature who just barely made it out of the way slightly. It's tail however wasn't so lucky as it came straight off.
Naruto kept his smirk as he fell to the ground, landing easily on his feet and hefting the sword on his shoulder with little to no effort. The Grimm screeched out in pain as it went seemingly invisible. Naruto's smirk was wiped as he noticed this and he gained a deadpan expression.
"Ah crap..."
A rough hand smashed into Naruto's side as he went flying. The fox faunus regained his bearings as he stabbed his blade into the ground, ultimately causing him to stop. Looking up, Naruto still couldn't see anything. Therefore he closed his eyes and focused all his senses to his ears. Twitching slightly Naruto turned behind him just in time to stop the clawed hand with his sword. This began a power struggle between the two as they were quickly deadlocked.
Smirking, Naruto's finger silently pressed down on the button near the top of the hilt. Now that the Grimm was so close and unhidden, he could finally use his weapon properly. As he hit the button, he backed up suddenly causing the Grimm to stumble forward slightly in surprise. Now it was a clear shot.
Across the actual blade portion of the sword, it began to change from a simple silver to a vibrant orange. Bringing the sword back behind him, Naruto smirked before bringing it back up quickly as high as he could. The orange was now burning hot as he used the momentum of gravity, and his actual strength, to bring down the sword on his enemy.
The sword cut through the Grimm's neck like butter as Naruto decapitated it. He watched as it disappeared in a cloud of black dust just every other Grimm he had killed.
"That. Was. AMAZING!" A youthful voice yelled out behind him.
Naruto's eyes widened as he whirled around and saw a young blonde boy, human by the looks of it, and looked to be about fifteen or sixteen. He was dressed in farm clothes and had a pitchfork with him, maybe to defend himself. What he was doing out here in the night was unknown to him.
"I mean, the way you lifted that giant sword and cleaved it's head off and the way you matched it's strength! How did you do that!?" The farmer boy exclaimed.
"Who...are you kid?"
"Oh! Sorry haha. The name's Jaune Arc, short, sweet and rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it." He said smiling in confidence. He then pointed at himself "And I'm not a kid."
"Do they now?" Naruto deadpanned as he picked up his cloak off the ground. Putting it back on, he lifted his hood up to cover his ears. He was still weary around new human's. "So why are you out here so late kid?" Naruto smirked as he saw Jaune get a bit upset with him.
"Whatever, call me a kid all you want. Soon I'm gonna become a great huntsmen myself." He said, emphasizing 'myself'."
Strapping the sword back on his back, Naruto looked at the young boy like he was crazy. "Have you even fought a Grimm?"
"Uh well...no. But everyone has to start somewhere right? And I plan to start at Beacon Academy. You see, it's always been my dream to be a huntsmen, a hero. My great grandfather wa-"
"How do you plan to get in?"
"W-What do you mean?"
Naruto sighed and looked at the human in front of him. "Look kid, I can see the determination that you have to become a hunter but the people at Beacon might not. I'm asking how do you expect to be accepted if you never even went to a combat school."
Jaune sighed and looked down in disdain. The same thing was spoken to him by his father. Not paying attention, he jumped in surprise when the cloaked man put a hand on his shoulder before he started to chant something, all the while glowing orange.
After a minute Jaune began to feel something within and as he opened his eyes that he had closed at the beginning of the chant, he saw a whiteness covering his entire being.
"There, I used some of my Aura to unlock yours. The rest is up to you to become a huntsmen. Keep training kid and don't let anyone tell you to give up. If you do that, then you'll become quite the fearsome huntsmen."
Naruto smiled as he turned around and began to make his way back into the forest, where his drop ship was to pick him up.
"Wait! I don't even know your name..." Jaune yelled out but it was too late, Naruto was already gone. Jaune looked up and nodded to himself before rushing back home. He had a night of training to do!
The pair never noticed a pair of heterochromia eyes, one pink and the other brown, staring at them.
Neopolitan wasn't one for words. In fact, she couldn't speak at all. However if she could speak then she would most definitely be speechless at the display of skill that the huntsmen had used. Even though that was an entirely new Grimm, he killed it like he had been fighting it for years. It was quite the marvel to look at. It didn't hurt that he was quite pleasing to the eye.
Smirking, she decided to go and report to her superiors.
