AN: Jesus fuck. I really need to stop making new stories and instead work on the ones that I have already started. I got the idea for this one from reading all of the Naruto/RWBY crossovers. Mainly from one of the three or four stories involving Kakashi. I'm sure people are going to be pissed that this doesn't involve Naruto and has an OC. But I don't care. I can do what I want cause it's my fucking story. Haters gonna hate and all that jazz. And no, my OC is not going to be leading his team. Let's do this shit.
Seventeen Years Before RWBY
In a hospital room in Konoha, a red haired woman dressed in a light blue hospital gown held her newborn baby as it slept peacefully in her arms. The baby had thin wisps of red hair lying flat on its head. A silver haired man sat next to the woman's bed. A black scarf was wrapped loosely around the man's neck and covered his nose and the lower half of his face. He was dressed in a black tank top that hugged his torso tightly, black pants that also hugged his body tightly, black fingerless gloves, and black tabi boots.
The door to the hospital room opened and a large white haired men walked into the room. "I need to check your seal, Kushina." he said to the red haired woman.
"Sure, Jiraiya." The red haired woman, Kushina, said as she lifted her hospital gown to expose her stomach. She flooded her chakra throughout her body and a black seal appeared on her stomach. The white haired man, Jiraiya, examined the seal closely.
"It looks weak and slightly unstable. Each time you use your chakra the seal will weaken further. We'll need to move the Kyuubi to a new vessel soon. A newborn to be exact." Jiraiya said.
"Not my baby. Anyone but my baby." Kushina responded.
"Okay. We have other options. Don't worry." Jiraiya replied as he walked to the door. "We'll talk more once you get your strength up. Thankfully we aren't pressed for time." With that, he left the room and closed the door behind him.

Six Years Before RWBY
Four figures were gathered at one of the training fields in Konoha. The smallest of them had gravity defying silver hair, green eyes with a slight golden hue, and a long black scarf that was wrapped around his neck and covered his nose and the lower half of his face. He was dressed in loose black pants, a black t-shirt, and black ninja sandals.
Next to him stood a red haired boy with tanned skin and brown eyes. He was dressed in a red long sleeve shirt with orange stripes down each arm, orange pants, and dark blue ninja sandals.
Sitting next to the second boy was a purple haired girl with brown eyes. She was dressed in a purple tank top, black leggings and black ninja sandals.
The final figure had the same eye color and silver hair as the the first, however his hair was pulled into a ponytail at the back of his head. He was dressed in a black tank top that hugged his torso tightly, black pants that also hugged his body tightly, black fingerless gloves, and black tabi boots. Just like the first figure, he had a black scarf that covered his nose and lower half of his face. He was clearly the three other figures' team leader.
"All three of you have done well on our missions so far. I have nominated you all for the Chuunin Exams." The team leader said. All three kids had looks of excitement on their faces.
"Make way Chunin Exams," The red haired boy said with grin, revealing razor sharp teeth and elongated canines. "We're about to show you why we're the best genin team in the country."

Three Days Later
A bloodied and exhausted silver haired boy limped through the Forest of Death with his equally bloodied and exhausted red haired teammate beside him and his purple haired teammate clinging to the red haired boy's back. It was the second stage of the Chunin Exams and so far, the most difficult. Each team was given one type of scroll and was tasked with acquiring the other type and getting to the tower at the center of the forest in five days.
The silver haired boy's team ran into trouble on day one. Two teams from Iwagakure attacked them not thirty minutes from the start of the second stage. The two Iwagakure teams were out for blood and the Konoha Genin were forced to take their first life. The purple haired girl went into shock after her first kill and was out of commission for the rest of the fight. The red haired boy and the silver haired boy killed the rest of the Iwagakure genin. As they gazed at their reflection in a nearby stream, the two boys noticed that the usual innocence was gone from their eyes.
Over the next four days they were harassed by fellow genin teams and vicious wildlife. Each day was a struggle to survive. They could only afford an average of two hours of sleep each night before they were attacked by an animal or a genin team. On the last night of the second stage, their purple haired teammate was bit by a snake and poisoned. The silver haired boy was forced to carry her the rest of the way to the tower.
The Konoha genin had their second scroll and were racing towards the tower at the center of the forest. They had forty five minutes left until the end of second stage. They had the tower in sight when disaster struck. Three Iwagakure and Kumogakure genin ambushed them, surrounding them from all sides. "Shit." The red haired boy cursed as he drew two kunai into his hands. "Ryu, I don't think we're going to make it to the tower."
"Don't worry, Kura." The silver haired boy, Ryu, said, drawing his kunai as well. "We'll make it. I have a plan."
"Alright. Let's hear it." The red haired boy, Kura, said. "I'll distract them while you book it to the tower. I'll catch up, don't worry."
"I don't like it. I should-" Kura started before being cut off by the attacking genin.
"No time! Run!" Ryu shouted as he created several Shadow Clones and engaged the enemy genin. Kura took off towards the tower. Two Kumogakure genin tried to chase him but were intercepted by two of Ryu's Shadow Clones and were met with kunai to the jugular. The two genin slowly drowned in their own blood as the two Shadow Clones joined their brethren in combating the other genin. The third Kumogakure screamed in rage and dealt vicious blows to any and all Shadow Clones in his sight. As the smoke from the dispelled genin slowly dissipated he set his anger and adrenaline fueled gaze on Ryu, who noticed that aside from the two Kumogakure genin his clones had killed, no other genin had died. Glaring at the other genin, Ryu screamed and charged. The Kumogakure genin screamed as well and rushed towards Ryu. Ryu lashed out with a fist and caught the Kumogakure genin in the throat with enough force to crush his Adam's Apple. With his airway obstructed, the Kumogakure genin began to slowly suffocate. Ryu turned to look at the team of Iwagakure genin who trembled in fear.
"Don't kill us please!" They pleaded.
"You brought this on yourself when you decided to attack my team." Ryu seethed. "Now you'll pay for you mistake." He performed a few hand signs before calling out his jutsu. "Chidori!" With his vision focused on one of the enemy genin, he dashed forwards and thrust his hand through the genin's chest. He withdrew his hand, drew a shuriken, and in the blink of an eye threw it into a second Iwagakure genin's heart. He dashed tackled the final genin to the ground and broke the genin's left arm before pausing. "I think I'm done. Killing you will serve no purpose. Your team is dead and therefore you will be disqualified. Everyone has to be present to advance." Ryu stood up and looked down at the whimpering genin. "But just to be safe." Ryu slammed his foot down on the genin's knee cap, crushing it, before turning and sprinting towards the tower.

Kura sighed in relief as he saw Ryu approaching the tower. "You're okay." He said with a grin.
"For the most part. I don't know what kind of effect all that sprinting I just did is going to have on my leg though." Ryu replied. "Come on. Let's open our scrolls."
Upon opening, both scrolls released a huge cloud of smoke. As the smoke cleared, a woman could be seen standing on the scrolls. She had a slender, but feminine build, red hair that was tied up in a high ponytail, fair skin, and violet eyes. She wore the standard flak jacket over a black short sleeved shirt, black form fitting pants that reached her calves, and a Konoha forehead protector. "Congratulations!" She cheered. "You've passed the second stage of the Chunin Exams!"

One Month Later
The third and final stage of the Chunin Exams had ended two weeks ago. Ryu's team was promoted to Chunin as were six other genin. Ryu had finished his match with one move. A harsh kick to his opponent's crotch. His opponent had doubled over in pain and gave up immediately.
Kura's had ended much differently. His opponent disrupted his chakra and it somehow caused Kura immense pain. He was able to keep fighting and after a long jutsu rally, knocked his opponent out with a punch to temple. He was immediately taken to an emergency room. Ryu hadn't seen him since. Not for lack of trying though. For some reason he wasn't allowed to see him.
The third member of Ryu's team used a genjutsu on her opponent as soon as the match started and knocked her out by drop kicking her in the face.
Ryu was sparring with his friend, ANBU Captain Kakashi Hatake, on training ground 7 when his team leader showed up. "Ryu," He said. "You're wanted at the hospital."
"Okay. Thanks, Dad." Ryu said. As he walked off he turned to Kakashi and said, "Sorry to this short, Kakashi. We can continue this another time yeah?"
Kakashi gave one of signature eye crinkles and replied, "Of course. Always glad to help out my favorite chunin."
'Maybe they'll let me see Kura.' Ryu thought as he walked to the hospital. He pushed open the doors to hospital and saw the red haired woman from the end of the second stage of the Chunin Exams. "Mom." He said as he approached her.
"Hi, Baby." The red haired woman replied. "You're here to see Kura-kun, right?"
Ryu nodded. "Yeah. Do you know which room he's in?"
"Of course. He's in room 666."
"Thanks, Mom" Ryu waved over his shoulder as he walked in the direction of his friend's hospital room.
'Wait a minute. This is the six hundred hallway is for intensive care. Chakra disruption isn't that bad is it?" He thought worriedly. As he reached Kura's room he pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Inside the hospital room, Kura sat barechested in a hospital bed with blankets covering his legs. Ryu immediately noticed something was off with his best friend. Somethings to be exact. Kura's once human ears were now pointed fox ears on top of his head, nine long furry fox tails swayed behind his back, his eyes were now a crimson red, and three whisker marks adorned each of his cheeks.
"You must be asking yourself what to me." Kura said with a low chuckle. "I woke up."
"You woke up?" Ryu asked. "I don't understand."
"My name is Kurama. I am the nine tailed fox." Kura, now Kurama, said.
"Then why do you look human?" Ryu asked without a hint of fear.
"Because I was sealed into the body of Kura when he was born. I was not expecting this result however. My original plan was to break free of his body. That plan has been ruined for I am forever trapped in this body. My chakra somehow corrupted this body and somehow gave it some animal features as you can see. My personality has changed drastically too. I find myself no longer despising the human race. They still tend to annoy me though. I find myself enjoying being a human. Kura has since been assimilated into myself. Kura's personality and memories are now mine."
"So," Ryu started. A long silence passed. "Did you kill my best friend?"
"No." Kurama said after a while. "I'm still here."
"Good." Ryu stepped forwards and pulled Kurama into a hug. Kurama returned the hug and grinned, revealing two rows of sharp teeth and even sharper canines, as he cried silent tears of relief.

Three Years Before RWBY
Fourteen year olds Ryu, code named: Falcon, and Kurama, code named: Fox, stood next to their ANBU Captain Kakashi Hatake, code named: Dog, as the Fourth Hokage issued them their next mission. The Fourth Hokage was a blonde haired man named Minato Namikaze. "I think it is time that we learn about the world outside of the Elemental Nations." The Hokage said. "There are several islands several miles northwest of the Elemental nations that call themselves The Islands of Remnant. However, each island has its own name. We know very little about these islands, its people, or its culture. All we know is that they have people known as hunters and huntresses who fight creatures of darkness known as Grimm. We also know that there is a species there that look very similar to Kurama in that they have animal traits and that there is an organization called the White Fang that tries to get equal rights for those animal people. Your mission, until you are recalled, is to join the White Fang to learn more about them, the animal people, and the Islands of Remnant. You will travel to the Islands of Remnant by boat. There is only one known port that travels to the Islands of Remnant. It is located close to the former Land of Whirlpools. Once you learn all that you can, report back immediately. You leave as soon as you can pack."
The three left for their mission immediately as they already had everything they need. Ryu sent a clone to his parents to say goodbye because no one knew when, or if they'd come back.
