Chapter 1
Naruto had just finished his fight with Pain. The fight had been a long and drawn out fight that made him use everything he had to win. It hadn't been easy in the slightest, in fact, Naruto had been given a fairly bad wound to his stomach that Kurama couldn't heal right now thanks to how much of his chakra he had already given the brat.
'Looks like this is the end for us hu Oniisan' Naruto thought to the fox that had been sealed in his gut for as long as he had been alive.
'it appears so Otouto, but we had a good run. I just wish you had gotten yourself a mate. It is an experience that everyone should have. Though it looks as though that you've had that denied for you as well, all because of me. I wish could do more than saying sorry' the fox thought back in response
Naruto had been careful to make everyone that knew about Kurama think that he and the fox hated each other when in reality they were as close as brothers could possibly be. When Naruto had gone on the training trip with Jiraiya it had been Kurama that really trained naruto. All the pervert wanted to do was teach him about how to recognize and escape genjutsu, work on chakra control, trying to corrupt naruto into a pervert, and attempting to teach naruto how to use the foxes chakra which only happens one time near the end of the trip. Everything else had been Kurama.
However, there was one good thing about Jiraiya trying to "teach" Naruto how to control the foxes chakra. It gave naruto free license to beat the ever living shit out of Jiraiya. Yes he nearly had killed the man but Naruto could care less, the man had shown his true colors to Naruto and then there was also the fact that the bastard had left him to fend for himself in that hell hole for 14 long years before the man even decided to show up and hadn't said a word about being his godfather ever sense. So naruto could really care less if the man lived or died. That's why Naruto purposely injured him so badly that even with him getting the medical treatment needed it would be a 50/50 chance of survival for him. At which point naruto left it to fate if Jiraiya was to die or not. If so then he died, if not then he lived and naruto would corner him once they were back at the leaf about why he had done what he had.
It was as naruto thought about his life that he finally passed out and his body soon had a seal on his neck light up as his body was turned to as and scattered away just as Kakashi had gotten to him.
"This is bad, but why wasn't the fox released," Kakashi said allowed as he rushed back to the village
With Naruto
Naruto slowly opened his eyes only to see beautiful red haired his face, groaning naruto sat up only to see a girl with red hair and vibrant green eyes talking to a nine tailed fox that had its tails wrapped around his abdomen and the ones left over hanging over his head to shield him from the sun.
"Um, Kurama, what is going on," naruto asked as the last thing he could remember was dying
"Oh good, you're awake naruto. Well as I was just explaining to, Pyrrha. You both are Uzumaki, you see naruto, the Uzumaki didn't originally come from the elementary nations. In fact, they came from a different dimension, this dimension to be exact. As such to Uzumaki in the elemental Nations placed a seal on each member and newborn child that would return them here upon receiving a fatal injury. Normally I would have been left behind but I hitched a ride on the seal but in doing so I ended up being bound to you like a familiar. As such, I was able to save your life before you completely died. Also, Uzumaki is actually a fake last name, your real one is Nikos. Also, I already used a Jutsu to see how closely you two are related and it appears that you both are actually direct cousins meaning that one of this girl's parents is you mother's sibling" Kurama explained
"What was your mother's name," Pyrrha asked with her hair shadowing her face.
"His mother's name was Kushina, she died when he was born but I was sealed in her before I got sealed into him so I knew who she was" Kurama cut in and explained upon getting a questioning look from the girl only to have her tackle Naruto in a bear hug.
Pyrrha had heard countless tales about her mother's sister but her aunt had run away never to be seen again when her mother was just a child. So with both her mother and father's recent death, she had been feeling alone in the world only to have Naruto literally fall right out of the sky and give her family again.
Smiling a small smile Kurama glowed slightly before he vanished back into the seal that he placed on Naruto's stomach. The seal had roughly the same function as the last one but in this one, he could come and go as he pleased and the inside was made to his liking. So when he had seen tears start to brim on Naruto's eyes, Kurama to that as his cue to leave the two to have a family reunion
Pyrrha and Naruto simply sat in the middle of the road both crying to their heart's content. For Pyrrha, Naruto had been a welcoming escape from the crushing isolation that came with her came. For Naruto, Pyrrha, was the very thing he had always wanted, family. Even if it was only one family member, it still isn't he now had a real family. Someone he would laugh with, fight with, be angry at, be happy for, protect, trust and everything else that came with being family. It meant he now had a relationship with someone that only his relationship with Kurama had even come close to. Though there was always the blatant reminders that they weren't actually a family that always made themselves known on a daily basis, but now he had an actual family.
After the two had finally calmed down Pyrrha dragged Naruto to the closest town vowing there was no way she would let him look like he had been living in the forest for a week. Once in town, she realized they were in the town that had her favorite clothing/armor store and proceeded to drag him in.
"Ah, Pyrrha, back so soon" a buff man that was balld, darker skin tone, a brown goatee, two silver earrings in his left ear.
The man had on a leather blacksmith apron over a dark gray almost black short sleeve shirt, and black pants with military boots. (Picture Andrew Gilbert Mills from SAO)
"Ya, I need to get gear for my cousin. Mind setting him up for me Damion" Pyrrha asked kindly
"Sure thing give me a sec" the man replied as he looked naruto over
"From his build, I know I have something that I'll fit him but I don't know what graded to go with. He looks like his body is trained for light gear but with how his muscles are developed he could probably handle heavy grade gear as well" Damion said with an archery eyebrow
"Why don't we try both then," Naruto said with a fox smile and hand behind his neck
After that, they spent an hour trying to find the right mix of gear for naruto. It would have been done sooner but Pyrrha had shot down nearly every arrangement of gear naruto had settled on stating she refused to let her cousin look like a clone was sent to battle a Nevermore. This only ended on the last outfit when Naruto came walking out in an outfit that was next to identical to Gaara's. However, unlike Gaara, he had on gold gauntlets that covered half of his thumb, one-third of his other four fingers, and his entire forearm. The next difference was where Gaara's outfit was gray Naruto had it in gold and was actual armor rather than cloth. After that was his almost identical bouts to Pyrrha but instead of heels, his were military boots in the same dull red as the rest of his outfit with gold shin and knee armor. He also chose to have all the gold he had on was the same color as the gold color as Pyrrha's armor so that it would stand out like hers but wouldn't be flashy if he needed stealth as it didn't reflect light. The rest of his pants that he wore, that had been touched behind armor and into his bouts was black. Last he didn't have a gourd on his back like Gaara and had kept his headband
"Um, Pyrrha, why is everything almost the exact same coloring as your outfit," naruto asked as he noticed the similar color scheme that was only missing something brown
"Because these are the colors of our family armor, something you'll normally be wearing should you become a huntsman which has similar work to being a shinobi, though you don't have to do D rank missions and you get to fight monsters" Pyrrha explained having had Kurama tell her all about the shinobi life. Though she would need to see if he could still use chakra and if not then train him like crazy for the next month to make sure he could make it into Beacon Academy.
"After this, we can get you some regular clothes and pajamas, sound good" Pyrrha asked kindly
"Got it," Naruto said with a smile
Pyrrha had been patient in explaining things about this world to Naruto on their way to town. One of the first things she explained was the no of huntsmen and huntresses. In all honesty naruto like the idea as it sounded like all the things he had enjoyed about being a shinobi but without the boring stuff.
"Besides kit, you look better like this anyway. After all, you only wore so much orange because that's all those bastards back in the leaf would sell to you remember" Kurama spoke to naruto through the link they had from him becoming Naruto's familiar.
'Ya I remember furball, ho, that also reminds me. Can I still use chakra, and how were you able to heal me'
"Simple, even though you aren't a demon or even a half demon, your chakra isn't like that of regular humans. In fact, it's like a half demons because of how long I was sealed in you. So I can still heal you despite me being a demon. As for you using chakra, I'm not sure. If I was normal chakra I probably wouldn't be here, but I'm not made out of normal chakra as I am a mass of living, demonic, chakra so I don't follow the same rules. If you can still use chakra then unlike in the elemental there will be people you can heal with your chakra that is part of a race called faunus or people that have animal-like features from what you mother told me. Which essentially makes them half demons by elemental Nations standards" Kurama explained
'That's good to know, thanks for the tip' Naruto thought as he had to cut his link with the Kyuubi short as Pyrrha bought multiple of the cloth parts of Naruto's new battle outfit
Smiling, naruto asked for some paper, ink, and a brush as he made an easy to make storage seal as a test run for if he could still use chakra. Once he was done he let the ink dry before he put his fingers on the edge of the seal and the items bought on top of the rest
"If this work then I can still use chakra," Naruto said loud enough for Pyrrha to hear.
After that Naruto let out a small breath as he tried to channel his chakra. A moment past and then there was a *poof* and the clothes were gone.
Smiling Naruto walked out to the outskirts of the town and made a few shadow clones only to frown at only seeing 50 when he thought he used enough for a thousand.
"All right, I want all of you to work on every chakra control exercise I know. That means 15 on the leaf exercise, 15 on tree climbing, 15 on water walking, and 15 on kunai levitating but because we don't have kunai I want you to use rocks. None of you are to dispel until you can do each at a master's level for an hour, now get to work" Naruto yelled as they took off and he went to the town library to pick up books on how to construct weapons. After which he walked to a hidden area in town hand made ten clones and set them to work on reading.
Once he was done he met back up with Pyrrha who was looking to see if she could find anything that might help improve her armor. After he found her they left to get Naruto some regular clothes and pajamas.
A week short of a month later
Naruto and Pyrrha were currently walking off of an airship that had just landed at the docks for Beacon Academy.
"You filled your application for the academy out right," Pyrrha asked in a worried manner thank to them both having fallen into the roles of a worried big sister and an overly protective younger brother type relationship despite not being any different in age.
"Yes, sis, though they denied it saying I didn't have a good enough test results. So one here to talk to the principal" Naruto said calmly having seen Pyrrha more like a sibling than he did a cousin much like she did as well
"And you're only going to talk right if he says no you'll accept it and you'll try next year," Pyrrha asked with concern that he would try a stupid stunt to get the headmaster to agree
"Of course," naruto said in as convincing a voice as he could with him desperately hold back the evil grin that wanted so badly to come out at that exact moment.
"Ok, I'll see you later," Pyrrha said as she walked off after giving Naruto a quick hug
Naruto smiled as he watched Pyrrha walk away. He had told Pyrrha the truth that he wasn't going to pull a crazy stunt to get the headmaster to agree to let him go, no he was going to do one to ensure he would listen to him and he should do so in such a way that it would be impossible for the man to not at least listen to him.
Which that thought in mind Naruto walked off.
As Naruto walked he noticed a girl in a fair-skinned young girl with amber eyes and long black hair. A ribbon was tied with a large bow on the top of her head, which naruto could tell acted as a cover for her more than likely Faunus heritage. The girl also had on purple eyeshadow in cats eye style.
She wore a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high-necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, emblazoned with the YKK logo of the real life Japanese zipper manufacturer. She also had black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose scarf is wrapped around her neck and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair.
Smiling naruto leaned in so he could whisper in her ear as she walked passed
"I'm sure you'd look better without that bow of yours hiding your ears" Naruto whispered as he kept walking only to vanish as the girl spun around only to see empty space.
At the entrance ceremony
Pyrrha had been watching the entrance like a hawk, waiting and hoping for her brother to enter showing he had succeeded in convincing the headmaster to give him a chance. However, her hopes were crushed when the lights dimmed and doors closed.
"Hello everyone, I'm Mrs. Goodwitch, if you'll calm down we can begin the head teacher announced.
Once everyone had settled down a man with white hair walked into center stage and was about to speak when the doors slammed open
"HEY MR. WANNABE COOL GUY! We need to talk. I want to join the school but your stupid test results said I can when I have the most experience out of everyone here in combat. And to prove my point I hold in my hands the file that has the entire rundown of the initiation ceremony" naruto started off yelling to get his attention only to stop but remain talking loud enough for everyone to hear as he held up a file
"You have my attention," Ozpin said as he watched Naruto carefully
"I propose a bet, you let me join your little test tomorrow. If I pass I get to not only join your school free of charge meaning all of my classes get paid for by the school without me having to pay you back. If I don't pass then I leave the school and never attempt to become a Huntsmen again. I also have to pay the school five 50 thousand dollars for wasting your time. Do we have deal" naruto announced as Pyrrha face palmed
This was why Naruto had been so agreeable it the morning. He was hiding what he was up to with the truth. She should have seen this coming.
"Very well young man, burning have two questions. First, is have you looked inside the folder, and do you have anyone here that can vouch for how honest you are" Ozpin asked
"No I haven't looked at it, and you can ask my sis Pyrrha Nikos" Naruto replied
"It's true, he's good to his word when he promises something. However, you haven't I be careful with how you word things because if there is a loophole he can use to make a prank out of something then he'll use it in a heartbeat" Pyrrha said in a rather angered tone that had Naruto cringing
"Very well then, you may stay for the initiation ceremony. However, I want to make a change to the deal if you don't pass you are to try every year until you do. Anyone with the skill to get a fill from you office alone and not get caught definitely has the skill needed to at least take the test" Ozpin said seeing naruto nod his head in agreement before he walked forward and gave Ozpin his folder back
"Let this be an example to everyone that knowledge will only take you so far. You must be willing to work hard as well. This is made evident by what this young man has done here today. He didn't have the knowledge needed to pass the paper test but he had the drive to prove that he could still make it into this academy with the knowledge he already had and his will to work hard. Now you all will sleep in the ballroom tonight but and for those that pass you will be given rooms tomorrow" Ozpin said as he walked away
Latter that night
Blake had just blown out the last of the light in the ballroom as she got up and quickly found and dragged Naruto outside
"How did you know" Blake questioned as she held Naruto against the side of the building
"Tell me your name and all talk, only far to give something when you want something wouldn't you agree," naruto said with a fox-like smile
"Blake, Blake Belladonna" Blake said as Naruto smiled
"Naruto, Nikos Naruto. Now as for how I knew you were a Faunus, well all it took as an educated guess. Faunus aren't treated well and that treatment makes people get a look in their eyes they just can't get rid of. They can hide it all they want, some better than other, but it's still there. You just have to know what to look for" Naruto explained
"You won't tell anyone right," Blake said with her head down and no longer pinning but instead it was more like she was now using him to hold herself up
"I promise my lips are sealed. Just promise me you will come to me if you ever get in a jam. I want to be your friend, and I help my friend whether they want my help or not"
"I promise, " Blake said in a low tone as Naruto pulled her into a comforting hug
Next morning
'i did everything I could to hide it and make sure no one can hurt me like that man but Naruto saw through me like I wasn't even there' Blake thought as she waited for the test to begin only to hear the important parts of the Instructions before she was launched..
Naruto smirked as he was launched. If there was one thing he like it was a challenge and this world had just been one challenge after another. Though his attention was drawn to the black and girl with black hair. He didn't know what it was but something about her was driving him nuts. It was to the point that the Kyuubi and he got into a fight inside the seal as the Kyuubi was tired of hearing about the black haired girl when they should be sleeping. Even Pyrrha was slightly concerned given that Naruto had become uncharacteristically calm and often as spacing out and not just in the talking to the Kyuubi space out either.
Smiling a fox smile Naruto got into a meditation position as he was flying through the air and gathered sage chakra. Once he had done so he began to try figuring out how the hell!He was going to land. Seeing a branch that was thick enough, naruto used his chakra to grab hold and spin around the branch u till he lost enough speed to fling himself up and land on to of the branch.
"Ok, landing done now where is Blake," Naruto said to himself as he used his sage senses to locate the Faunus girl.
Naruto wasn't sure what it was that had him so focused on the girl but he figured if he spent time with her he could figure it out and knew the easiest way to make it so they would get to spend time together would be if they were partners. As such he was determined to get to the girl before anything else.
"Let the test begin," Ozpin said once everyone landed as he watched from the cliff side via his "scroll"
Ok that's it please remember to review
