February26, 2017 : Hi! I had some extra time so I decided to fix and rearrange some of the wrong spelling and grammars. It's funny actually, my word editing software seems to be set on auto-correction. So, most of the words instantly corrects themselves just like that! "That" means things gets alienated and just plain weird...


So Hi! As usual, new story by the way, and this one is crazy. One step for me, one giant leap for all the computer geeks out there! (a Plus for the single ones) HAHA

So the story will start at Volume 3's 'End of the beginning'. If you're wondering if I'll follow the story line based on the Canon….. I don't know…. Meh…. Still debating about it. And it's not an ARKOS shipping, it's a Yang X Jaune shipping, I think it's called Sunflower, so… Yeah.

The Other Scythe Wieldergot rewrite because a friend of mine offered a new perspective to it.

Some Naruto related contents can be found as the story progress so please don't hate me =…=

So enough with this horrible Author's note and just get on with it


Jaune stood on top of a random 6 story building while he let himself lost at his own thoughts. Even when the night was cold, it didn't have any effect on him. He wasn't alone though, the blonde was accompanied by another stranger, postured like a gentleman and was smiling for some reason, "So, what is it going to be?" asked the man.

"This attack, will happen in less than 2 days?" asked Jaune still looking towards the shattered moon.

"Yes, exactly during the finals of the Vital Festival"

Jaune closed his eyes after realizing the weight of his actions, well, that's if he'll do anything to prevent the disaster, "Tell me" he turns slowly towards the man, "Why should I trust someone like you? Dr. Watts…" He eyed the man, "Why should I trust you?"

The man smiled, "You don't. That's the beauty of it"

"I'll assume, that 'this' is all politics?"

"Right again. I am aware of your origins Mr. Arc. Believe me, we are not trying recruit you for our cause, nor am I forcing you to theirs as well. You came from a Neutral Clan, a different world even, and you-yourself is against taking sides on this war"

"You said that already…. What are you to gain in all of these?"

The man shrugged, "Nothing…"

"Lying won't do you any good"

"I know, that is why I'm not. But if it'll embarrass Cinder and her little cronies, then I guess you can consider that as my goal"

Jaune looked away with a smug, "You want your own comrade to fail so that you can claim what's left of the leadership of all Cinder's assets, isn't?"

The man laugh for a sec, "Any mist fortune that may fall on Cinder's end will be consolation enough for me"


2 days later…

Jaune picked himself up after Pyrrha slammed him accidentally against the wall. He didn't know that the situation was this bad already. Whatever's the reason that is bugging his partner, it's not good.

"Something potential? Something that stood between you and your destiny?" Jaune recalled her words slowly as if making it his own. If Pyrrha is torn between two choices that would define her entirely, she wasn't alone.

"What' if you suddenly fulfill your destiny…. But at the cause of your own and who you were?" Jaune turned towards the window and watched his reflection as if someone was looking back and it wasn't Jaune Arc. A Stranger, a person bearing his own identity but not him entirely. A person who existed in the past, someone who wanted to be buried forever, at least that's what he thinks.

A Blonde young man that was destined to be a warrior? or destined to be a Hero? He already let 'them' get away with it. Whoever 'them' were.

Yang's fight wasn't fair. Not because Yang was overmatch for Mercury Black, it was the other way around. Mercury Black 'is' overmatch for Yang. Jaune felt bad for not stepping in during that fight. He knew something was wrong, the guy was holding back, and something felt funny with the fight itself. But Jaune already made his mind up… or rather, 'still' making his mind up, all this time. He couldn't forgive himself for letting that happen to her. It was against everything he holds dear and his very own code.

"Your right Pyrrha, none of it makes sense" He shrugged his head and gave himself a slap in the face, "I have to make it up for Yang….."

He took off his own armor and quickly went back to their dorm room, "Time to make this right" The blonde took 20 minutes to change his own clothes from his usual hoodie and jeans, into a much lighter items. He wore a simple vest with strapless arm, he carried a small bag behind his lower back tying Crocea Mors along. He also wore a black tactical camouflage pants with sandals for a quicker reflexes and sharp maneuvers.

Jaune looked towards the mirror while trying to reminisce the memories it reminded him. It's been 2 years but right now, he felt a stranger to them already. Lastly, he took out something from the drawer and tied it at his left arm, bearing the symbol of his beloved village. One that he losses hope to ever come home to.

Satisfied and ready, he headed out and knocked on Team RWBY's door hoping that she's awake. This can't wait, he needs to be in 5 different places in less than 2 hours, "Yang are you there?"

Few seconds later, Jaune heard someone on the other side of the door. Thank god for that, "Vomit boy?... is that you?"

He winces at the name, "Yeah…" His voice sounded weak, not just literally weak, but weak at itself, "I…. I just wanted to check on you and see if you're doing okay" he made his tone sound positive as much as he can.

"Y-Yeah… sorry the guards won't allow visitors in…. I swear, this is like a jail rather than a Dorm room"

Jaune chuckled only for it to turn into a light laugh. He briefly turned to his left then at his right with a mocking smile, those guards were nothing but a hunk of junk, that he, already disposed of, "Tell me about it…. But any way…. I came to say sorry…"

Yang got confused, "What are you apologizing for? Wait…. Did you do something to Ruby!?"

"No, no, no… I... I just want to say I'm sorry" his tone was sincere.

"For what? You're not going all drama on me and quoting romantic lines from movies, are you? It didn't work on Weiss so it won't work on me, Vomit Boy" Yang was her usual self, teasing and sarcastic at the same time, but the silence that followed after that, was long. It made her stop. Jaune was being serious and he wasn't whining all dorky like he always does.

"Vomit boy? Ya still there?"

Jaune closed his eyes, "I want you to know…. I'm going to make this right" The mere thought off failure filled up his mind. The sight of his friends and fellow students fell victim of the impending attack was too much for him to digest. He decided, that—no one has to die. No one has to suffer anymore. If there was any, it would only be him.

Pain

All he felt at that moment, was unending pain brought by his own doubts and selfishness. The regret that he acted too late. Just how many people had to die because he followed the Clan's code when he already disobeyed it once? Why was he doubting if he already knows he was a failure to begin with?

It was foolish of him, and after 3 years, right now, he was still a fool.

However, this time, Jaune Arc is going to take a side.

"After this night…Jaune Arc… will be no more" With determined eyes, the once blue oceanic colors of his eyes turned blood red. Unexplainable power surged his veins and thus, he awakens his Mangekyou Sharingan. One small dot in the middle encircled by 6 small triangles, 3 pointed outwards and another 3 pointed at the central dot.


Jaune Arc

Vale is seriously in chaos.

Hundreds of neighborhoods once filled with lively individuals are now abandoned. Most of the city got burned down, half of what remains were used as evacuation sites and emergency base of operations. The emergency services and protocols was working smoothly after being activated before the actual disaster struck.

Right now, the people of Vale as well as the foreign visitors are perfectly sheltered within the safe zone. All thanks for both the local and foreign Huntsmen that worked around the clock to protect the civilians and assist in the search and rescue. Most of the injured are being treated immediately while those that can be moved are transported and boarded over the remaining functional Airships and flown over to a much safer location.

Even when Cinder's plan took place. It was immediately dealt-with after a certain individual took action and the matter into his own hands. Scraps of the renowned Robotics Knights, pride of the Kingdom of Atlas as they claim, was scattered everywhere. Thanks to them, the 4 kingdoms stand divided now more than ever, and Atlas is now in question for the actions of their own weapons. Weapons that was promised to be a new symbol of hope and peace for all. No doubt they did their job, or what they were meant to do.

Destroy everything.

The Amity Coliseum… or what's left of it, was grounded in fear that it'll explode and crush down with all the damage it received during the attack. While Beacon…. Beacon Academy survived somehow. It was now the base of all communication and a temporary shelter for all. Most of the transfer students volunteered to help and offer what they can to ease the situation. Something that the Head master approved. They fend off any Grimm that remained inside the City and the anywhere near the school itself.

Speaking of Head master, Ozpin was in a closed chamber, closely observing one of his student. His eyes focused on the teen while he was trapped in his own thoughts. Jaune arc was lying unconscious and handcuff to the metal bed. He was badly beat up. The lad suffered various cuts and bruises, not to mention his eyes was covered by bandage after all the 'events' he did last night. The medic saw nothing wrong with his eyes but Jaune kept crying. Not the normal watery tears, though. This time, he was crying blood. The blonde is placed inside a closed room with pure titanium bars, he was like an animal cage in a place that seemed to be meant for people who has mental issues.

Ozpin stood from his chair and gently hit the metal bars, "I know you're awake, Jaune. You may have gotten away with the fake transcripts and…" The guy cough awkwardly, "Pretending to be a teen without proper training or education…. but you are horrible at pretending to be asleep"

The teen flinched a little from his bed, only to let out a small laugh, the gig was over, "Funny, it took you all this time to notice huh…."

"Yes… it's a shame for me to miss this angle of…. Infiltration among our own"

The teen sat up, "Call it whatever you will…. It's not like I can change your view of me anytime soon, professor…"

"Don't take this personally, Jaune. I am thankful and so is the rest of the people that are alive right now because of your actions last night… but it's not enough for all of us to feel at ease or any less than safer…."

"Let me guess… It's the name, am I, right?" Jaune somewhat slumped while wearing a forced smile.

The man shrugged, "No, it's the actions…. You may have saved Amber and stopped Cinder in her tracks…. But…"

"Actions?" Jaune asked, even when his eyes were covered, he turned to Ozpin, "What did you prefer? Amber dead, Beacon destroyed, Cinder wins? Or—"

Ozpin cut him off when his tone got a little stern, "I prefer the truth Mr. Arc…" His eyes got sharp for a change, "I want to hear the truth from you. Why would a Clan like yours would stick their nose in this? They were assumed to be dead all these years. Drifted into legends"

Jaune looked away, "You mean stories meant to scare little children to bed…" He looked into his forehead protector that was still tied at his arm, he carefully run his fingers against the scratches on the metal surface. He tried to glance at his vest bearing his family symbol, "Like they'll even waste a second trying to help Vale…." He said to himself in thought.

"This intervention… is my decision alone…"

"Jaune…. Tell me… So that I can at least understand your motives… and you entirely"

The blonde only lowered himself back, further relaxing as he snuggled with the blanket, "Motives?" He let out a tired sigh, "You know… I had an option in the last 48 hours…." Ozpin leaned to listen, "Should I let this attack happen or should I interfere?"

"You knew of Cinder's plans?"

"Yes and no…."

"Explain"

"There's no need to explain…. Things will only get confusing if you even try…. People will only understand me in their own level of understanding…"

"Don't take me as one of them Jaune. I'm different"

"Different?" Jaune laughed while avoiding to sound rude, "Then why am I locked up right now?"

Ozpin didn't even say anything back, he just lowered his head after that remark, "People feared my Clan because of the countless stories circling the people that had red eyes with commas. My name is no exception to that now. Everyone knows of who Jaune Arc really is… and that the legends are true. If I let that attack happen, I would still be the same dork knight of Beacon, but that means the loss of millions of lives… which works in my favor…. and If I interfered, my name would be known, people will fear me and all of you will judge me… but that means saving millions… which worked against me in every angle there is"

Ozpin tried to say something but Jaune continued as he sat up again, "Now tell me…. Where should I go? To the right where nothing is left? Or to the left where nothing is right?"

"Obviously, you made a decision" Ozpin was amazed with his reasoning, it got his full attention. The student took the option of the greater good.

He nodded, "A choice that defined me…" he started to take the bandage off form his eyes, but failed as the pain whip back again, "Judge me, purge me with your laws and orders…. Rest assured, I will not forsake a single innocent life just because of personal issues I have"

Ozpin nod again, "What makes you different, Mr. Arc?" He took out his weapon Crocea Mors and presented it to him, "A savage Clan like yours was known to be quite a mercenary force…. Are you doing this in behalf of their will or plan to infiltrate my school and obtain the Fall maiden?"

"You know, once…. No, the real Uchiha Clan is known to be a loving people. We loved and cherished life so much that fighting other Clans that opposed a threat to our own became the sole driving force for my forefathers to do everything to achieve peace… Regardless the means to accomplish it… but in this world, a war between villages or Clans isn't the real threat or problem. It's not the Grimm either. It's Humanity itself…"

"Please…. Do Enlighten an old man"

"My clan fought countless of battles back in my world. We struggled to maintain the peace…. But the fighting continued and we failed to do anything about it…. One day… my Clan got tired of it…"

"So, they switched from the life of a hero into the life of a mere mercenary?"

"No…. We choose to be peaceful… We wanted to have peace with everyone" Jaune looked up, "But everyone feared our abilities. They feared us entirely because of…. Our eyes…"

"Is that why the sudden disappearance of the Clan in 'our' world? Is that why they all went underground?"

Jaune laughed bitterly for a moment. Of all the words to describe the sudden disappearance, Ozpin had to use that word, little did he knew, he hit the nail, "The Uchiha that came into your world accidentally because they wanted to start fresh. They didn't want anything to do with the Human and the Faunus. They left for the sake of their own and for the sake of the world"

No other Clan treasured love as much as the Uchiha Clan. That is why… to escape the cycle of hatred and destruction…. Like our great ancestor, they had to leave so that our power will never be use for ill intentions. Because, Absolute power, corrupts absolutely… At least that's what was written in the relics I found. The history of the Uchiha family founded in this world.

Ozpin leaned forward, "And what of your own story? Might I ask, where are you from and how did you got here?"


Chapter 1: Uchiha Daichi

Unknown to Uchiha Itachi and the masked man, there was another Uchiha who happened to be rich with luck. He was on a mission near the borders of the Fire nation, tasked to do a simple escort duty. Him along with his other 2 teammates was guarding a VIP through the dark night. That was until a band of highly skilled 'Hidden Mist' ANBU ambushed them along the way.

The group of four was pinned in a cave near the river valley. The terrain wasn't helping both sides. It proved to be a tough landscape to do battle. There was too many disadvantageous rock formation for battle and the river is too shallow to even use as an escape route.

"H-How many are there!?" shouted the messenger of the Uzumaki clan, only to have his mouth covered by their leader.

"Be quiet…." Said the male leader. His name is Tenchi Ayamano, "Tsss…. Mitsuki, how many are there?"

The said girl was hiding on the right side of the cave entrance, her red hair indicates the clan she originated from, "I don't know…. I've counted 5 from the earlier encounter but there could still be more"

"Grrr… It would be handy if we had a 'Byakugan' on our side…."

"Tenchi!" the girl glared at the guy for the rude comment.

"I'm just saying…." He looked to the last member of his team, "If only Daichi here can use his 'Sharingan' properly, none of these would have happened"

"I'm sorry alright!" the teen with the golden blond hair, hiss. The stress of life or death situation they were in just happens to be taking a toll on the teen. He fears death, the only reason why he can't use his 'Sharingan' properly. His combat reflexes and the Taijutsu are all but average. His Gengutsu sucks and terrifying to the point that he became a laughing joke among his own clan members. His taijutsu is good but he still lacks on some parts, especially the entire duration of combat. He gets tired too fast.

"Stop saying 'sorry' already…. Just… Just do what you can"

The girl reassessed their current status, thinking if they can at least pass the boarders just 10 kilometers away, it's game over for the enemy, "What's the use of passing the Chūnin Exam if we're going to die on our first mission after the graduation?"

"Yes… how indeed" A voice whispered only to echo along the walls of the cave, "Give it up you brats… There's plenty of us and only 3 of you, 4 if we count that old man but what's the use… you'll all dead before sunrise" The ANBU appeared from the shadow like a ghost, "And no one will ever know" With his sword drawn, he readied to attack. He was wearing captain's mask completely with black ops shinobi uniform.

A smug grin appeared, "Feeling cocky?" asked Mitsuki.

"NOW!" shouted Tenchi.

3 shadow clones quickly popped out from the walls and subdue the ANBU. It looked like they succeeded in capturing an enemy, however, it turned out to be a substitute jutsu. A trunk of a tree with 10 explosive tags on it.

*KABOOM*

The explosion was so strong it destroyed the entire cave along with half of the river bank. Seeing the amount of destruction, the rest of the ANBU moved in and searched the site. Their current mission is to abduct the VIP and bring him back for both information and black mailing. From the numbers of enemy that swarmed the area, it looked like they've won already.

However, that was a bad call.

Luckily, the leader of the team, Tenchi, predicted it. So, instead of just waiting, the lad anticipated some kind of a large-scale attack. Then used it to their own diversion, "Did I ever told you how much I'm thankful you studied the 4th Hokage's flying Raijin technique?" said the leader.

"Every single time" feeling a sense of relief, the girl smiled as they continued to dash towards the borders, "Although it's far from perfect, I've only manage to send one clone. And it eats too much chakra"

"Sending my own shadow clone is enough, Mitsuki. That clone had enough chakra to create 7 more clones and do a transformation jutsu. And like we planned and hoped for…. They fell for it" that earned the leader a big grin.

That was a smart move, something that was expected for the leader of the team. They've managed to both out run and out smarted the hidden mist ANBU.

'As always, Tenchi does all the thinking while mitsuki does all the hard work. Dammit, just what am I for? Am I nothing but some extra baggage for this mission?' said Daichi to himself.

"I have to admit, the shinobi of the Hidden Leaf village are truly talented and strong ninjas. You never cease to amaze" commented by the Uzumaki VIP. However, Diachi didn't felt like he earned it.

'But the things as they are now….' the lad shook his head, 'I really hope plan C is not an Option here'. He took out a kunai, poke his thumb and did a hand jutsu sign, "Summoning Jutsu!" A large sparrow almost half the size of a regular human popped out of the smoke. He took the Kunai and gave it to the bird.

'Fly!'.

Tehnchi questioned the act, "Daichi! What are you doing!? Stop wasting your chakra!" Before Diachi can explain himself an unfamiliar presence suddenly came. Having the 'Sharingan', Daichi sensed something big, like a giant wave coming from the right side, "Mitsuki!" shouted the lad. Although it was loud, the girl wasn't fast enough to dodge the attack. A large water Dragon style jutsu suddenly erupted and went on a rampage. It managed to split the group in two. The ones at the lead is Tenchi and the VIP. The ones in the back was Daichi and Mitsuki. The girl was hit by debris that flew her way, but she was caught by Diachi and pulled her out quickly towards safety.

"That was a smart move for some brats…." The ANBU who appeared to be the one from the cave stepped out of the shadow in the middle of the destroyed tree line. He was impressed with how these kids were able to run that fast and far from them. But they are the Hidden Mist ANBU, a force that is not subjected to failure no matter what's the cause, "I'm afraid we overestimated the shinobi of the Leaf. Now then, will you be so kind to just die!" Daichi reactivated his 'Sharingan' again.

The water style dragon arched it's back and was about to attack, 'Don't lose focus now!' the lad shook the trembling of his hands and doubts, 'I am a Uchiha!', seeing that it was an elemental jutsu he stepped forward, "Go now!" shouted the lad. He threw 2 kunais with explosive tags. It managed to blow half the body of the dragon, but it wasn't enough to fully undo the Jutsu. The Jutsu itself was casted too big and the ANBU happened to be using the River as a source for water.

The enemy did another hand sign technique, "Water style! Gatling droplets Justsu!" The specs of water from the moist atmosphere began to converge into specs of ice and later became the ice blades.

The spikes began to speed towards Tenchi and the VIP. Still, the leader had some tricks up in his sleeves, he countered the attack head on, "Fire style! Dragon breath Justu!" With blazing flames, the spike of ice began to melt away along with half of the water style dragon. It was blazing hot enough to illuminate the night for a few second.

The ANBU backed a little, only to charge forward doing another hand sign, "Tss…. You're not getting away you little—"

This time, it was Mitsuki's turn, "Ninpou Shadow shuriken Jutsu!" a dozen black disk began take form out her own shadow and she threw it with deadly accuracy. The ANBU evaded the attack by jumping to the right side while deflecting half of it with his sword.

Seeing that the enemy did as she wanted to, Mitsuki smiled, "Ninpou, Shadow spikes Jutsu!" suddenly, the right arm of the ANBU that he used to deflect the attack earlier was engulf by shadow. Spike began to emerge from within the flesh of the enemy, enough to render his arm useless.

They used this opportunity to regroup.

'That was the technique used by Mitsuki's opponent during the chunin exam….. But she adjusted the jutsu itself and made it her own'Daichi was amazed, "You're not the only who can copy a technique, you know" The girl teasingly smiled at him. The lad replied, "Don't smile you idiot… you're out of chakra" They were all exhausted and nearly spent, if it wasn't for the enemy, they would've rested all night long.

"ARGH! DAMN YOU BRATS!" The man was now enraged, "Water style!" He raised his left hand. It baffled Tenchi, and the rest of the team, "He can cast a jutsu sign with just one hand!?"

"Jetstream Water sword Jutsu!" The attack was like a pressurized water pump focused at a single point, spiraling from his mouth. It was countered by Tenchi. He jumped forward and casted his own jutsu, "Earth Style! Mountain Wall!" Rising from the destroyed landscape was 7 feet high, 5-meter-thick wall. It blocked the attack only for a few seconds, which was enough for them to dodge the water sword entirely. However, the ANBU was too powerful, his jutsu managed to break the entire wall down.

More and more enemy ANBU began to arrive at the scene. Blocking their opportunity for an escape, "They're going to surround us!" shouted Mitsuki, no doubt that she was already showing fatigue.

"I won't allow them!" Daichi stepped forward and prepared a hand sign as well, 'Damn, so it comes to this huh?', he took the frontal position, "You go for the boarder! Now!" luckily they were already a kilometer away from the bridge that connects the Land of Fire and the land of the Wind.

Tenchi disapprove with a frown, "Stop acting like a hero already! I will not allow it! We will not leave any of comrades to fight alone!"

"Same here! We've promised to finish this mission together!" shouted Mitsuki.

"No shinobi will abandon their comrades! I say we fight!" added the VIP, he took out what little weapon he had on his pocket, a small dagger. This time, ¾ of the Hidden Mist ANBU began settle around them.

'Dammit! If they just ran ahead, they wouldn't have been caught now!' The Uchiha looked towards the bridge where a large group of Uzumaki Clan shinobi awaits. They've been urging to cross the bridge but that was against the treaty of the Villages. Any drastic actions could lead to the discovering of the Uzumaki Clan survivor's existence. All they can do now is to wait for some kind of miracle.

"Don't worry guys….." He gave them one last look then smiled, "You're just me leaving behind" he turned back towards his opponent and finished the hand sign he made earlier. A hand sign that Mitsuki recognized, "That's—"

"Plan C….. Flying Raijin!" Casting a jutsu that was half perfected itself nor mastered, it took a great toll on him. Half of the chakra he had left almost got depleted out. His body went numb and his vision got blurry.

'I'm not as smart as Tenchi and I'm not as talented as Mitsuki…. All I'm good at is to copy someone else's Jutsu in my own level…. I'm a laughing joke for my own Clan….. I wasn't good enough to even make my own parents proud of me…..' The lad now knelt at the ground seeing that his body's strength betrayed him. He breaths violently as if grasping for air. This was the thing he can't quite live with. He was too physically fragile to even participate in combat. His jutsu is limited to just 4, Summoning Jutsu, shadow clone Jutsu, fire style breath Jutsu, and the famous substitute Jutsu that happened to be the basic for all Shinobi.

Disappointment…..

Both Tenchi and Mitsuki were safe, same goes for the VIP. They found themselves inside the Land of the Wind's boarder, specifically where the large sparrow that Daichi summoned earlier was waiting. The Kunai was at the ground with the marks of the technique Mitsuki made as a prototype. It was from before she even got a hang on the secret of the 4th Hokage's technique.

Still, it was a Kunai with prototype marks, that means Daichi forced whatever chakra it needed to teleport the 3 away.

The ANBU now readied himself despite the wounds he suffered, "How brave of you to sacrifice yourself!" He finalized his own sign, "That won't do shit!" The rest of the ANBU unit began to dash towards the bridge, "We don't care if we cross that boarder! We don't care if we start a war! We are the ANBU of the Hidden Mist and we are tasked to finish our mission no matter what!"

Failure….

He inhaled deeply, "Water style!"

Fear….

With the enemy's words, Daichi forced himself up. His eyes were filled with anger and desperation. He wasn't foreign with the feeling of being greeted by death itself. Daichi has encountered it too many times. Fear is something that is natural for a human to feel on a daily basis, but for the lad. 'Fear' is his greatest weakness. For him, it leads to…

Death….

With one final push, the young Uchiha stood from his spot with his 'Sharingan' blazing hot like thick red blood, 'No one …. I will not let anyone hurt my friends…. I will not let anyone feel the same fear as I did…. I will not let them suffer the same fate as I did!... Tenchi has a long road ahead of him….. He's good guy…. Mitsuki is a strong girl…. I'm sure she'll be a renowned shinobi in the future … They are my friends…. No matter how hopeless I am…. No matter how useless I seemed to be….. They stood by my side for better or worse… I …. I will make this worth it!'

"Water style!"

"Water Style!" he copied the earlier hand sign perfectly.

"Acid Water bomb Jutsu!"

"Acid Water bomb Jutsu!" With the last of his chakra, he blocked the canon ball like object by colliding it with his own.

The explosion is so massive, it destroyed the area with about half a kilometer radius. The trees began to melt right away, even the chunk of rocks lying around. The very stench in the air was like poisonous gas that can burn the human lungs in matter of seconds. Any enemy ANBU that was caught in the attack and got completely soak, instantly and gruesomely dissolved, and died.

That includes the ANBU that initiated it. Their shouts of suffering and agony echoed the night sky. Although, even with the amount of destruction and the radius, it wasn't enough to kill all the them. Well, at least the young lad did manage to divert their attention and distract them one last time.

The remaining ANBU survivors went back and casted their own Jutsu in different styles and scales. From what Daichi just did, they saw him as a threat. They want to kill the young Uchiha before it even gets back up with one blow.

'If Hell does exist….. I'll bring you down there with me'

Before the cloud of Acid engulf Diachi, he casted another technique. Something he himself, doesn't even know what it does nor what it can further cost him. He was really out of chakra, doing this one last move will surely kill him. He saw Uchiha Shisui did it once during one of his secrete training, and that was enough for him to copy the hand sign and the sensation that erupted during the activation of the Jutsu.

'I'm not a prodigy like big brother Shisui or big brother Itachi…. But I really like to put that to the test!'

With one final gesture, he suddenly coughs blood. However, Daichi still continued, "Ninpou! Deep Black Jutsu!" Before anything unnaturally happened, he began let out tears.

Tears of blood, that is.


At Team RWBY's Dorm room….

Both team RWBY and NPR happened to having a small meeting. They were discussing the events that transpired last night, especially what their good friend Jaune Arc did, "Alright, let me get this straight!" Weiss, despite looking like she hadn't got any sleep for the past 3 days, calmed everyone down, "Jaune, the blonde dork, just save all of us?"

"YES!" shouted Ruby but her expression was still a concerning look.

"Okay, that's a fact" She nod and was glad that was out of the way, "He saved Blake and Yang from Adam Taurus? The said leader of the White Fang?"

"Yeah, he stopped Yang just before Adam…" Blake hesitated for a moment but Yang continued, "He saved me before Adam even managed to cut me in half"

"Okay, now…. He also saved Penny 'during' the fight with Pyrrha 'at' the Amity Coliseum. He stepped in before Penny's own weapons went spiraling out of control because of Pyrrha's Semblance?"

"That is correct. I don't know how but he suddenly popped out of nowhere and blocked the wires and blades" Pyrrha couldn't looked at them, she just tried her best to remember the happenings correctly, hoping that her eyes didn't deceived her. Well that or she was too ashamed to look at them because she let her self-lose control because of her own emotions.

"That's good, now…. When the Droids suddenly lose control, and attacked the citizen, Jaune already called the emergency services, that was 'miraculously' ready that moment. He 'managed' to stopped the hacking of the enemy by destroying the Giga class flagship of General Ironwood" Everyone turned awkwardly towards the TV, looking at the said flagship that was perfectly cut in half.

"Yeah…. He did" said Ren, who was equally confused as everyone.

"Uhm…" Weiss shrugged and cough for a sec just to absorb the moment, "Then he stormed 'both' the Amity Coliseum and the City, and eradicated the first wave of Grimm that, again, 'managed' to enter the city unnoticed" This time, everyone nod at the same time.

"That's impossible!" she just ignored everything she accepted before.

"We know!" said Blake.

"How can he be in the same place and at the same time!?" She wasn't crazy but she was about to lose it.

"Let us not forget the level of skills he displayed and his Semblance" said Ren, he turns to Pyrrha who was 'training' their leader, "I think he finally unlocked his Semblance. That…. Giant hollowed armor guy… It looks similar to Weiss and that arm she summoned when she saved Velvet"

Pyrrha disagreed, "I don't think that was his semblance…. If any, I think his semblance has something to do with teleportation" That made sense, at least to Weiss, "That's it! He can teleport to one place over to another!"

"Sorry Weiss, I think your wrong…" said Yang, her voice was somewhat doubtful but not with her usual sarcastic tone, "Jaune was everywhere… He was at the Coliseum, he was at the City, he was here at Beacon, and He was at General Ironwood's ship. He was present at the same place, all at the same time. We all saw it, there was more than just 'one' Jaune Arc"

That broke Weiss and everyone else. As if their brains stopped functioning or something.

"Let's just calmed down and rest for a while. We haven't had much rest since the attack. Clearly the stress and the fatigue is causing us to.." Pyrrha shrugged, "See things… I guess?" She turned to Nora who was lying beside Ren and already went ahead and slept first. Everyone joined her without complain. Each of them fell asleep as soon as Pyrrha suggested it. Good thing they were good friends, so team RWBY let team NPR stay with them. They were all tired because of the Grimm attack. Ruby didn't ask anymore and instead, she went up her own bed and got knocked out, Weiss did the same but she shared her bed with Pyrrha, Blake went to Yang's bed seeing that Ren and Nora slept together at hers.


Yang is a ball of energy much like Ruby but pretty much contained at the moment. She wasn't feeling tired nor did she ever felt the need of sleep at the time. So instead, she decided to take a walk outside and let her friends get some rest. The blonde had so many questions and she couldn't take her mind off of Jaune.

"Why…. Why were you…. Crying?" Yang asked herself. At that moment, when Yang suddenly roared and charged towards Adam with full force to save Blake, Jaune stepped in. Just before the blade made contact, Jaune managed to caught her midair and drag her a few feet away. Of course, Yang was surprised, but the first thing she saw after the speed blurred her vision, was tears.

Jaune was carrying Yang, bridal style. The dork stared deadly towards Adam, all pumped up for a fight, but Yang was locked into his eyes. He was somewhat angry, but sad at the same time. She felt something, a great sadness that nested inside the fellow Blonde's heart.

"After this night…Jaune Arc… will be no more" those were his words that rang again and again.

"What do you even mean by that?"

While walking towards the courtyard, Yang saw her Uncle Qrow, who was heading towards the Head Master's Office, "Uncle Qrow!" she called out. If there was something to know, her Uncle is one of the reliable sources to ask.

The man turned to her who was surprisingly 'not' drunk or smelled booze, "Yang? Not getting any rest, I see"

"No… Listen, Did…. Do you know what happened to Jaune?" Yang was sincerely concerned.

"You mean that, other, blonde guy?"

"Yeah… Where is he?" Qrow frowned bitterly, he placed a hand over her shoulder, "Yang listen… It'll be better if you… get some rest for now"

"What? I don't need any rest," she shrugged his arm off, "And stop dodging the question. Do you know where Jaune is?"

"Jaune is being held somewhere, for safety… You don't need to worry"

"Held? But why? It's safe, the attack is over" She suddenly realized something, "Is he hurt?"

Qrow shook his head sideways, to be honest he didn't know much. All he knows is that Jaune was with Ozpin, "I didn't say it was because of the attack nor was he hurt" his eyes were dead serious, which confused Yang even more.

"What do you mean!? Stop toying around! Where's Vomit boy!"

"Listen, it would be best if you forget about him. People like Jaune Arc…. Is a bundle of bad luck. It's for your sake too. Tai will be arriving here any moment now. Go back to Patch for now and—"

"Why!?" Yang flared hot, eyes turning blood red in rage but Qrow was used to it, "Why what?"

"Why is Jaune being treated like someone who's not important, like he's an expendable or something!"

"It's precisely the opposite, it's because…. Look, just do what I told you, trust me Yang. Jaune Arc is not the person who you think he is" Yang gave up, she turns and walks away with heavy marching steps.

She flared as she makes her way across the courtyard "Don't do this to us Arc, not right now" she ignored her surroundings. Not like it'll help answer her questions. Yang Xiao Long was suddenly drawn to Jaune Arc. Something felt funny, like a six-sense hammering her to do something because the situation felt like someone was going to say good bye, or rather, already, said their good byes. Deep inside her, Yang faintly felt it true yet she refused to accept it.

"MONSTER!"

A loud cry echoed the courtyard causing for everyone to turn and stir into immediate panic which brought by human instincts. The citizens were about to cause a stampede but they were calmly organized by the doctors and the rest of the emergency staffs. Team CFVY were assigned nearest to the area so they were the first ones to respond. Even Yang ran in fear that the Grimm came again. However, to everyone's confusion, there weren't any Grimm running around much to everyone's assumptions. In the middle of the those green grass in the far corner of the area stood a blonde young man

"Jaune!?" shouted velvet.

She was about to ran towards him only for Yatsuhashi to reach a hand and stopped her. Coco stood in between him and her team, "What are you doing here, Jaune?" Fox, even when he was blind, is somewhat shacking and he couldn't stop it. Jaune was emitting an unusual Aura that was cold and dark. Enough for the blind man to known exactly where the blond stands.

"Are you going crazy!? That's Jaune! He's a student here!" reasoned Yang, she stood and halt Coco for one obvious reason. The fashionista was already pointing her minigun towards him, with the safeties off.

"We know, Yang" Yatsuhashi stood forward and readied his sword, "But I don't think he is a comrade to trust"

"What are you saying!?"

"There's an old legend about people bearing the red eyes and the terrifying power they wielded. A legend that was proven to be true last night" Velvet nudge on his side, "Come on guys, those are just stories! Even my parents used that to scare me to bed"

"And yet last night, the 'stories' came true" said Fox. All of the people seems to agree with them.

"I'm curious, just how long were you planning to deceive us? We aren't sure if you are a foe or a friend but we are not risking these people or let alone cause them any panic. So, I'll kindly ask you Jaune. Just leave already"

Yang just had about enough of it, "Your all insane! What about me? My eyes turns red too! So, what? I guess that makes me a monster huh!?"

"Your different, your eyes turns red because of your semblance, Jaune is a different case" Fox was serious and that came from a blind man, "Isn't that right Jaune?"

The person in question remained quiet the entire time. He's expression was a mix of exhaustion and yet calm. He did his best to smile but it reflected his answer more than confusion. Jaune didn't deny any of it, in fact, his silence was enough to confirm it all. At least to Yang.

"Jaune…. Is that true? They're lying, right? They are just confused hehe" she forced that laugh, "Tell them!" She turns to everyone, "A dork like Vomit boy here isn't capable of wha—"

"It's True"

Yang couldn't believe the words that silenced her and everyone, it felt like the entire world suddenly stood still.

Jaune smiled but then refused to meet her eyes, "I'm a person that came from such legends. However, not all of those stories are true at all…" He glanced down at his own hands, rubbing the mixture of dirt, and the blood of the White Fang terrorists he killed, "But even if I did my best to explain myself… None of you would ever understand me"

Yang walked slowly towards him hoping she can reach him. Reach and stop him. It is as she feared, Jaune was leaving and every second that passes by, the dork was slipping away from her. Yang didn't really like good byes, of all the things she hates in the world, she hates them the most. She doesn't want important people to leave like her mother did, "Jaune…."

"I'm sorry Yang…. Like I said, I was going to make this right…." With one last look, he smiles at her, "Tell everyone, I said bye…."

"And please…. Don't look for me" She began to sprint towards him in hopes to tackling the guy, "Idiot! That'll make me more determined to hunt you down, you dumbass!" She reaches forward with teary eyes. Though, she fails after the chakra of Jaune's shadow clone ran out.

*PUFF*


Jaune flinched a little and suddenly stopped for a sec, "Yang…"

"What about her?" asked Ozpin, who was a little disappointed. Jaune was in the middle of his story on how he got from his world to Remnant.

Jaune looks away, "She's…. Looking for me"

Before Ozpin could ask another question, someone entered, "Prof. Ozpin…" called Glynda.

"Yes, Glynda what is it?"

"The Council is summoning you… it seems that… they have revoked their decision on your position. You are the Head Master of Beacon Academy again. They want to apologize for what happened. You were right." Her tone wasn't like her stern attitude, it was joyous.

"Is that so? Funny, it took for an attack of great magnitude to make them realized that…." Ozpin returned to Jaune, "Or rather, for someone to sacrifice his future for the future of others…" Ozpin lowered his head and made up his mind. He had no other choice but to believe Jaune's story, he was going to be a fool if he treats it like a joke. He stood and unlocked the cell bars.

"What are you doing!?" asked Glynda, she was about to draw her crop but Ozpin stopped her, "I don't remember we had an Uchiha among our students. Obviously, He is not Jaune Arc…" He turns to the Jaune, "This young man is an innocent citizen and a stranger. He is free to go"

"Is that what I am now? A Stranger?" asked Jaune.

"I know of a Jaune Arc. I don't know a man named…" Ozpin let a pause echo but Jaune got the message.

"Uchiha Daichi" At least, that was his name in equivalent of their tradition.

"We don't know any Uchiha Daichi, we need to free this man, it's rude to detain a stranger" With that, the two professors headed out the room, leaving Jaune all by himself like the days before Beacon, like those days he was a laughing stock by his own Clan. He let out a sigh as fatigue rained all over his body. Jaune may have acted dumb but he is not. That last moment, Ozpin just had to make things a little cryptic with all the hidden messages. Ozpin was obviously asking for Jaune, for an Uchiha, to join their cause. And that he acknowledges him as a Uchiha, not because of the name but the person that Jaune is.

"What… am I supposed to do now?" he whispered to himself. Before he can think of something, he felt a presence that was lingering in the shadows. It was too obvious even for him, "A messenger?" he asked out loud.

"Yes…" The voice was creepy and hollow in tone but still can't be seen but Jaune was just sure he was inside the room, "A friend?"

"That depends…. Who are you?" asked the mysterious infiltrator.

"Jaune Arc or Uchiha Daichi…. Why does it matter? Why are you here?"

"I do not matter to Jaune arc. I am here for Daichi…" The man pressed on, "Dr. Watts has news for you…. He said to meet with him as soon as the situation settles"

Jaune nod without even looking nor doubting the legitimacy of it, "I'll make sure he gets the message"
