Naruto: Reborn Through the Dust

( AN: Hello people of the Naruto and/or Rwby fandoms I would like to introduce you to my first fanfic I'll try as much as possible to make this story good. So for now enjoy my prologue to the story … well… enjoy!)(God-Like Naruto, NarutoYang Pairing)

(Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto or Rwby, if I did, Naruto would never have had

a crush on Sakura, Hinata would have gotten over her infatuation of Naruto, and Jaune Arc would have had more skills and a different backstory.)

(At a Dustplane Boarding Station)

We find an 18-year old student waiting in line to board the dust plane to Beacon Academy. This student had blonde hair , one cereulean blue eye and one amethyst eye. He wore a black trenchcoat with white flames licking the bottom. However, the most noticeable features are the two fox-like ears that are black with gray tips and a completely black tail. He was none other than Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze.

As Naruto was boarding the Dustplane, he saw various people such as a blonde teenage girl who was comforting someone who seemed to be her adoptive younger sister. He also saw a considerably nervous-looking, blonde-haired teen who looked very similar to him before his transformation and seemed to have as much untapped potential. He finally found a chair to rest in and as he closed his eyes and relaxed, he started to recall the events that happened over what he thought to be the biggest year of his life

( Flashback One Year Ago)

Naruto and the army of the Elemental Nations had already defeated Obito and were currently focusing on Madara. Try as they might, they couldn't seem to get past his defenses the reformed team 7 were running on adrenaline and morale. Madara was winning and they all knew it, Naruto finally came up with a move that had a chance to take him down. An all-out move he called the Rasen-Bijudama in which he crates an Oodama-Rasenshuriken, but in replacement of wind chakra he uses youki, a lot of it.

"EVERYBODY GET OUT OF THE VICINITY, NOW", shouted Naruto to the soldiers.

As Naruto saw them get far enough away, he turns to Madara and says, "For all the lives lost, for the sake of my friends, the village, and even the world, I WILL DEFEAT YOU."

And with that he launched the ball at Madara. Madara started panicing and used his deformed beasts for cover. An explosion and then a flash of red and white was all the soldiers saw and when the light died down, a crater many miles across had formed.

"Naruto", whispered one Iruka-sensei who recovered from shock first and ran to the center of the crater.

(With Naruto)

"Hey… Kurama" panted Naruto.

"Yeah… Kit"replied a breathless Kurama.

"We … did it… it's finally… over" said Naruto.

"Heh… I guess… it is…" chuckled Kurama from within.

"I wouldn't be so sure" replied a voice from behind Naruto. He lifted his head to see a considerably wounded and tired Madara. "No…" whispered Naruto. He saw Madara unsheathe a hidden tanto and stumble over to Naruto. " You tried to stand in my way and look where you are now" said Madara as he walked closer to Naruto who was too exhausted to move. "And now you will pay" And he thrusted the blade forward.

Naruto awaited his and Kurama's fate as the blade inched closer, and he closed his eyes. When he waited longer than it should have taken for the blade to reach him he feels something warm drop onto his face he opens his eyes to see an all too familiar and an emotionally painful sight to watch. Hovering over Naruto with a blade through his lung is his sensei and first true friend Iruka. Time seemed to slow down as the blade was pulled from Iruka and his body fell into Naruto's arms. "Good-bye… Ototo" whispered Iruka as his body fell limp.

Memories of Naruto and Iruka flashed through his mind, Iruka making him clean the monuement, him giving Naruto his Hitai-ate, the memory of Iruka taking the Fuma Shuriken for his blonde pupil. "no…no,no,no,no,NO" shouted Naruto as he cradled Iruka's body. Suddenly pain went through his eyes, but his despair refused to let him feel it. "Hmph, pathetic, he only gave you prolonged suffering, he was truly weak." Naruto snapped, faster than even Madara's eyes could track, he was held a foot off the ground by a single hand gripping his face.

Madara looked into the eyes of the attacker, but he did not find blue eyes, red slitted eyes, or even kyuubi-frog-sage eyes. No, he looked into eyes of purple with four rings protruding from the center pupil. He started to feel the energy drain from himself and he tried to resist but found he couldn't move due to chains coming from the boy's seal restraining him. " NO, I REFUSE TO DIE LIKE THIS!" shouted Madara. Naruto blinded with rage didn't notice he was not only absorbing chakra but memories as well.

"IF I DIE I'M TAKING ALL OF YOU WITH ME" shouted Madara as he activated the Shinju (God Tree). The tree then started to alter forms. Black youki leaked out of the tree as it started to morph. "Heh, I win" stated Madara as he his chakra was depleted. Naruto, regaining his senses, looks to see a gigantic beast with ten tails and a single eye that contained a mix between the Sharingan and the Rinnegan.

"Kit, I'm sorry but not even all the bijuu combined can take that down." stated the Kurama glumly.

Naruto stood there in shock and contemplation for awhile before stating " Yes there is," shocking the kyuubi. "Kurama do you remember how my father sealed you away."

"Yes, He used the. . . Shiki Fuin!", " But the strength of the user's soul has to be proportional to the strength of the reciever, and your soul isn't strong enough to hold it."

"Damn, how are we supposed to seal him away…"

"Kit use my soul it should be strong enough to hold it… wait, how are you going to summon the Shinigami you don't have the seal. "

" Yes I do Kurama, I've had it with me nearly my entire life." And with that he went through the hand seals for summoning and slammed his hand down on his stomach. The Shinigami appeared and Naruto asked, " Shinigami… use Kurama's soul to seal away the Juubi within me." And with that the Shinigami reached for Kurama's soul and grabbed it and then grabbed the Juubi's soul and sealed it into Naruto."

"Kit, I'm not much for sappy goodbyes but I've gotta say it's been fun, you've treated me with such kindness despite what I put you through and I couldn't have asked for a better container and friend… see you around… kit." and with that the Shinigami faded away along with Kurama.

"Goodbye my friend" said Naruto and he then fell, unconscious.

(Half an hour later)

Naruto awoke to a scene that could only be described as a nightmare to him. The armies of Kiri, Suna, and Kumo were guarding him from the armies of Iwa and his own home Konoha. " Why are you guarding him can you not see he is the demon's reincarnation." said one Konoha nin. Naruto then went into a state of shock, so many thoughts rushing through his mind. 'Why are they calling me the juubi, don't they know I sealed it away'.

Then something caught his eye, something black and seemingly furry . When he looked down he saw multiple black tails coming from him, ten to be exact. He also felt something twitch on his head and when touched it, he felt two furry fox ears. 'They think it's me, They think I'm the new Juubi!'

Naruto looked back to the Konoha nin to see something that broke his heart. All his old friends including Kiba, Tsunade, Hinata, and everyone else trying to get to him with looks of hatred and anger on their faces. In his despair he unconsciously activated his new Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that he unintentionally stole from Madara after absorbing all of his chakra and knowledge. Memories of the village shunning him passes through his mind, along with memories of the physical and mental abuse. 'Now I know they won't accept me, not after seeing this' he thought to himself as he chuckled bitterly amongst the battlefield.

"I need to leave… I need to be anywhere but here." he whispered to himself. As though answering him, his eyes started to burn in an unbearable pain. He felt nearly all of his chakra go to his eyes and he started to feel as though all of his body was being crushed into a single point. The pain eventually became unbearable he fell unconscious once more.

( In the middle of a forest )

Naruto woke up to an unfamiliar sight. He was surrounded by trees, none of which looked like the trees from Konoha. Then he was hit with the memories of the Fourth Great Shinobi War and what happened after the sealing. Noticing his hunger and thirst, he walked off to find a stream. He eventually came to a small stream and he was surprised to see his reflection. He finally saw the color of his ears, but the most surprising part was his eyes. In his left eye was Madara's EMS while his right eye contained a Rinnegan. 'Wait a sec, the Juubi was sealed inside of me so why do I look so much like it?' After pondering it for a while he decided to go inside of his mindscape.

When he got there he was surprised to see nothing there. 'the Shinigami didn't seal him inside of the Shiki Fuin, he absorbed it directly into me!' With that he left the mindscape and concentrated on the differences in his own body. He noticed that his chakra coils were even larger than Kurama's youki reserves. Speaking of youki, he also noticed that he no longer had pure chakra. Instead he had a mix between the Juubi's youki and his own chakra. It felt more destructive, but it also felt much easier to control than his original chakra. He also felt a stronger affinity to fire and then he remembered absorbing all of Madara's skills.

After he finished his internal search he deactivated his Sharingan returning it to its blue color. When he deactivated his Rinnegan, it turned into the figure of a normal eye, however the iris turned a deep purple instead of its natural blue. He looked down to see his ruined clothing and henged his clothes to look like civilian clothing until he could find something else. His clothing consisted of a plain white shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. He also put a henge over nine of his tails, and suppressed their power, while keeping one of his tails along with both of his ears to serve as his base form, judgmental people be damned.

He started following the stream upwards until he could find a city, a town, or even just a person. Eventually he came across a group of three travelers.

"Excuse me but can you please tell me where I am." Two of them responded with confused looks while the third had a look of surprised recognition.

" How can you speak an ancient language Mr. …" asked the third traveler.

" My name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, and what do you mean by an ancient language?"

" Well not many people can speak the language that we're talking in."

' As much as I want to question this, there are more important things to attend to' thought Naruto. " So where am I exactly"

" You're in a forest about 10 miles northeast of a city called Vale."

"Thanks and by the away, why aren't you concerned about the fact that I have a tail?"

" I have no discriminations about Faunus because it's stupid to hate someone for something they can't control"

' WHY COULDN'T PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE BE MORE LIKE THIS! Wait a sec…'

" What's a Faunus?"

The traveler had a look on his face that said "you're kidding right."

" Sorry, I'm not from around here, I've lived in an isolated village my entire life so we have different terms for people like me… mostly the term demon." he whispered near the end, and the traveler didn't hear him. " Well thank you for helping me, I'll be leaving now"

"Alright, have a safe travel" and with that the two parties went their separate ways.

After a few minutes Naruto thought to himself, 'Crap, I completely forgot to ask for his name, ah well.'

(After 30 min. of running)

Naruto finally came to one of the main entrances of the city. He noticed that the city wasn't all that different from his old village, and that it existed along the coast. The buildings were about as tall, and had the same purposes whether it be a restaurant, clothing store, spa, and even weapon shops. There was one store that caught his eye and although he couldn't read the sign, he saw a picture of what seemed to be a crystal next to the words.

He also noticed another crucial detail, there were many people who had the features of various animals he has seen. But the biggest part was that most of the populace didn't seem to care about their features! Granted, there were still quite a few that looked at them with biased and arrogant disgust, but he just chocked it up to stupid reasons of the Faunus as being inhuman or as themselves being superior.

After searching for awhile he finally found the library for the next few weeks he would try to learn the most common language by the name of English. He also sent out hundreds of shadow clones henged as civilians from Konoha to observe the actions of this new society.

It has been nearly a full month after Naruto has been here and he's learned quite a bit about his new home and has almost mastered English. After reading nearly the entire library he learned a lot about this place. He was currently on a continent that was inhabited by not only humans, Faunus, and animals, but also by monsters known as Grimm.

There those that fought Grimm, appropriately called Hunters. These hunters used weapons that allowed them to channel their own energy, known as aura, through them. Aura was this world's version of chakra and hunter's were the shin obi of this world. Aura itself didn't have as many applications as chakra, however, the weapons of hunters could also manipulate the physical manifestation of the elements in the form of Dust. Dust intrigued Naruto, he found it interesting that techniques that he used with chakra could be used by someone similar to a civilian, albeit in a somewhat weaker form.

Naruto lived in the forest during this time and fed off of the fruits and wildlife, and washed off by pulling air from the atmosphere. His Rinnegan allowed him an incredibly strong affinity to all five basic elements. It also helped that his new energy, consisting of youki, made it easier for him to perform techniques. He could form tens of thousands of shadow clones without so much as scratching his reserves. He used these huge numbers of clones to experiment with new techniques such as fusing his basic affinities to form the sub elements he was proficient in using Hyoton, Ranton, and Shakuton. He had quite a bit of trouble with Mokuton, Jinton, and Yoton, but he figured it was mostly due to how he wasn't used to Doton or Suiton. At least his Katon training was supported by his EMS and Madara's newly ingrained skills.

He had trouble with his training at first because he had no scrolls or techniques to start off with. He quickly got over that by focusing on basic training exercises for each element. After mastering each all basic exercises, he started focusing on creating techniques which became extremely simple once he realized he only needed to form the basic handsign and concentrate on the attack he was using. His physical regime didn't go unchecked either. Every day, while his clones focused on chakra-involved attacks, he would use his Rinnegan to increase the weight of his body while he exercised. He did 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, and a twenty-mile run every day, and once his body adjusted to the gravity he was currently at, he would double it. After finishing his physical conditioning, he would practice his frog katas mastering them further.

Then another idea popped into his head, why not use Madara's memories to master his use of elementally enhanced weapons, similar to Hunters. With that he got to work on training his Yin-Yang manipulation so he could create his own weapon out of pure chakra. His Yin-Yang chakra control took the longest out of all of them, but once he was finished, he could create any weapon he imagined in less than a second. He created multiple weapon-fighting styles. He would use specific weapons when using specific elements. He would use a scythe with Katon chakra. A gunbai for Fuuton chakra, a katana for Suiton, a bo staff for Doton, and twin revolvers for Raiton. Naruto became very interested in guns upon learning of them. He liked the idea of launching an object a high speeds with the pull of a finger.

After 4 months of training and learning of the new world, he finally decided to get involved. After much internal debate, he decided he would become a Hunter, he had the skills to become a defender of good people, people who could actually accept him, and he would be damned if he just stood by and watched as the innocent were hurt. The first thing he did was create an id and silently slip himself into the records. After months of studying in a huge library he became well-versed in technology. He used a public computer to hack into Vale's private records and create his new persona. He still kept his name and most of his basic info, but he faked most of the info involving his achievements, and he slipped into the records leaving no trace of him ever being there.

Afterwards he applied for Signal Academy which was located on an island off of the coast. He was excepted into the academy, once he got there he was pitted against a fourth year student to see what level he was at. He easily beat him and was placed along with the other fourth years. He tried to stay reclusive so as not to attract too much attention to himself, he didn't make that many friends due to most of them being intimidated by him.

He graduated at the top of his class despite joining in the middle of the second semester.

He applied for Beacon Academy a week after his graduation from Signal, and surprisingly enough he was accepted. There was a month left until the first day of school and coincidentally on that day it will have been a full year since the Juubi had been sealed inside of him. A month passed in the blink of an eye but the day before it was time to leave, he saw some clothing that had caught his eye.

(End Flashback)

Naruto awoke with a jolt as the Dustplane docked at Beacon signifying it was time to get off. There was only one thought that came to mind when he saw the school 'huge'. The school, if it can even be called that, was gigantic. He was about to walk of to find a map for the school, when the scent of dust passed through his nose, and he looked over to see the young girl he saw being comforted by the blonde earlier, being insulted by a person who seemed to have as much of a thing for white as he used to have for orange. He also noticed the thick cloud of dust that was being created, and how the girl in red was about to sneeze.

'thaaaaaat's not gonna end well…' thought Naruto as the cloud exploded in each other's faces. The girl in white then found a new reason to bitch and complain.

'What the hell, she's just like Sakura… I used to have a crush on someone like that what's wrong with me.' When he snapped out of his thoughts he noticed a black-haired girl had walked up to the two had explained who the white-haired girl now, known as Weiss Schnee, was and how her father's business was corrupt, at which point Weiss walked fuming and Blake left just because, leaving the girl in red alone. He sympathized with being the odd one out, and went to go greet her, when he did, he noticed the blonde-haired boy from earlier had the same idea.

"Need help?" asked the blonde stranger.

"Yeah, thanks… hey, aren't you vomit boy?" asked Red.

"It's not nice to call people names, crater face."

" Hey!" They both heard laughing next to them.

"What's so funny!" They both yelled out indignantly.

"You guys." deadpanned Naruto.

"Anyways my name is Ruby Rose"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze"

My name is Jaune Arc, short, sweet, an-" He was going to continue until Naruto put a hand over his mouth and says, " Jaune trust me when I say it won't work, it never works."

Jaune just slumps depressed.

"Anyways, do you guys know where we're supposed to go?" asked Ruby.

"No, I was kind of hoping you guys did?" replied Jaune.

"Guess we'll have to ask for directions." Naruto sighed as the three walked off.

'Naruto, why does that name sound so familiar… ah well I'll probably remember later' thought Ruby as she caught up to the others.

AN: Well that was the first chapter to my first story, constructive criticism would be appreciated in the reviews. So thank you and I'll see you next chapter.
