xxx The Human Faunus xxx
The world of Remnant is a very cruel and unforgiving place filled with dangerous monsters called Grimm. The Grimm only live to destroy man and his creations. And because of this adversary, man found ways to combat these monstrous beasts. They used dust to fight against the Grimm and, having held off the beasts, man built kingdoms and in these kingdoms Hunter Academies were built to train teens into full-fledged hunters who would one day fight against the Grimm for humanity.
One such kingdom is the kingdom of Vale. With it's natural defenses such as the sea on the west and the mountain range on the right, it makes Vale a relatively safe haven in the world of Remnant. This kingdom boasts its trade and commerce, with it being the center of trade in Remnant, and its Hunter Academy, Beacon. Beacon has produced lots of fine huntsmen and huntresses that has continued to serve humanity. And it is here where our story takes place.
"Oh! I can't believe that my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!"
A resting man woke up with that declaration. Looking around for the source of the disturbance of his peace and quiet, the guy saw a beautiful curvaceous hot blonde hugging the life out of a notably young girl, who looked like she was dying of gas deprivation.
'Now, THAT I have to tap.' He inwardly mused. 'Though isn't her sister a little too young for Beacon Kurama?'
'And isn't she a little too young for you to tap? Don't tell me you're a pedophile?! I refuse to have a pedophile as my partner! I never knew you became just like that snake bastard. Sicko.' A deep male voice rang in his head.
Eyes widening in surprise, Naruto quickly replied, 'You know I meant the blonde, you furball! Don't compare me to that bastard! I'm nothing like him.'
'Yes, you're absolutely right. You're nothing like him. He likes young little boys and you like young little girls. And to answer your question, yes. Yes she is.'
Groaning in annoyance, Naruto just sighed, 'Kurama... you're a bastard. You know that?'
'Let me have my fun brat. You know you haven't let me out for a while now since I've woken up after that.'
'Alright alright. Just wait a little, I'll let you out after initiation. Though I do wonder how she managed to get in years earlier.'
Getting no reply from Kurama, the boy simply shrugged and slowly approached the pair of sisters, specifically the blonde who was still hugging the life out of her sister.
"Won't your sister die from your hugging?" He called out.
Yang looked to the direction of the voice and immediately blushed. How could she not blush when she saw someone that probably came from her dreams. And she's not talking about the innocent and happy dreams but, rather, the more risqué and enticing dreams of hers that comes every now and then. Or in other words, frequently.
He was tall and lean and his body was obviously filled out with muscles. Not the muscles you get from going to the gym but muscles that were made for fighting. Her kind of muscles. His eyes, oh god his eyes, were an incredible shade of blue that reminded her of the swirling tides of the ocean. Just drawing her deeper into his gaze. His cheeks were marked with three pairs of whiskers on each side and they were very symmetrical. Too even to be natural yet it went quite well with his face. It gave him a foxy look . His spiky blond hair framed his face making his eyes stand out even further. Yet in the depths of the golden sea that was his hair, she saw a tint of orange that disappeared immediately.
Disregarding it as figments of her imagination, she moved on to his clothes. He was wearing a black jacket with orange sleeves that looked like flames and the bottom part of the jacket was similar to the design on the sleeves and it was left open, showing off a form-fitting plain black shirt with an orange swirl emblazoned on the center. He was wearing black, fingerless gloves that had a metal bracelet on both wrists. He was clothed in a pair of black pants. On his left thigh was a pouch and he had a scroll, the paper scroll, tied to his right thigh. It was finished off with a pair of black leather boots that seemed very hard at the sole. As if that part of the shoe was made of metal. Then, on his back was a bushy golden fox tail wagging around. There was one thing for sure that she noticed, he was older than her.
"Take a picture, it lasts longer." The deep voice from before returned.
"Wha- uhh. I wasn't staring!" Yang squeaked out, inadvertently releasing Ruby from her grasp.
"I didn't say you were staring. You just admitted it yourself." The fox faunus replied, obviously amused by her reaction making Yang mentally shutdown at being tricked.
Ruby, having been freed from her sister's clutches, finished taking deep breaths and turned towards the teen.
"My name's Ruby Rose! And that's my sister, Yang Xiao Long. What's yours?" Ruby asked, voice filled with curiosity. Anyone who could make Yang react like that was worth keeping around. Even if it's just to stop Yang from always annoying her. That, and he did save her from dying due to hugging.
Giving them his signature foxlike grin, he replied "Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto at your service!"
"So Naruto..." Ruby trailed off, gaining a dreamy expression.
"Yes, Ruby?" Naruto implored.
Ruby got very close to him, knelt down in a prayer position, clasped his hands with both her hands and asked, "What'syourweapon?Whereisit?CanIseeit?Pleasepleaseplease?"
"Say what now?" Taking a step back, Naruto was promptly saved by Yang.
Yang, having recovered from her embarrassing moment, came and pinched Ruby's cheek, "Knock it off Ruby. You're gonna scare him off."
"Your name's Yang, right?" Naruto wanted to be make sure that he got the name of the girl correctly, so double-checking her name and checking her out at the same time was completely okay... right?
Yang was a complete bombshell. With a pale complexion paired with messy long golden hair, she was sure to draw attention to herself. And when she's got your attention, she's gonna keep it with her unique and stunning lilac-colored eyes. Then, your eyes would wander down towards her yellow crop-top which emphasizes her incredibly large bust. Her bottom was covered with a black shorts with pleated skirt at the back covering her, presumably, shapely rear.
'Damn. She's hot. And those breasts! Those are on par with Tsunade Baa-chan's and she hasn't even finished developing!' Let it not be known that Naruto was not corrupted by the incredibly perverted Toad Sage.
'Kit. That's it. She's a keeper. Let me out NOW!' Kurama suddenly shouted in his mind.
"Hell no! You perverted dumb fox! I won't let you out! I'm sure that when I do, you're just gonna jump up to her and make her hug you! I'm not gonna let you feel those... those incredible mounds!' Naruto shouted back, thoughts filled with annoyance.
'God dammit Kit! If that's what you want then don't expect me to help you!' Kurama roared.
'What the hell Kurama! You'd abandon your partner for a pair of breasts?!' Betrayed, Naruto shouted back in his thoughts.
Seeing that the kit wouldn't let up, Kurama relented. 'No duh! Now, if you won't let me out then you better not act like an idiot Kit. Go and impress her dumbass!'
"Take a picture, it lasts longer." An amused voice disrupted their mental argument.
"Wha-? Uhh..." Came his intelligent response.
'Great. Now you lost us our chance you idiot!'
'I can still do this Kurama, just wait and watch the master in action.'
"You alright Naruto? Fox got your tongue?" Yang smirked. Seeing him spluttering lessened her embarrassment substantially and made her confident to talk to her fellow blond.
"Never been better! I was just left speechless by your beauty. I wasn't prepared to meet any beautiful ladies today ya' know?" Naruto gave her one of his trademark foxy grins.
"Well, aren't you charming? But you gotta do better than that to get me lover boy." Yang replied, leaning closer to Naruto while trailing a finger on his chest and then pushed him away.
Feeling that he was challenged, and Uzumaki Naruto never backs down from a challenge, he challenged her, "Wanna bet on it?"
Yang, seeing the challenge, accepted immediately, "Alright! What's your terms Whiskers?"
They were interrupted though when a hologram of a blonde woman with green eyes appeared and welcomed them to Beacon.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon!"
Confused by her sudden appearance, Yang glanced to Ruby and asked, "Who's that?"
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."
Embarrassed, Yang merely let out an "Oh."
"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world" The hologram then disappeared as sudden as it appeared.
Ruby looked out and saw the breathtaking view of the town from above, "Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here! I guess home isn't too far after all!"
"Beacon's our home now little sis." Yang looked together with Ruby with her arm wrapped on Ruby's shoulder.
Blegh. The sound of someone puking disturbed their moment.
"Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone." Yang shrugged.
Naruto, feeling out of place with that sister bonding moment, noticed something green on Yang's shoe. Something that looked like puke. Looking up, he also saw green on her hair. How it got there he didn't know. Gently nudging Yang on the arm, he told her, "Hey Yang. Uhm. You got puke on your shoe."
Horrified, Yang immediately went to Ruby with a clear goal in mind. Ruby, sensing the incoming danger and still being in Yang's grasp, immediately saw what Naruto didn't tell Yang. With a method of escape quickly planned, she immediately told her, "Yang! You got puke on your hair!" Her reaction was immediate. Yang turned white and froze. "What did you say Ruby?!"
"I said you got puke on your hair. But it's totally not my fault. The vomit boy's the reason you got puke on your hair, not me!" Having shifted the target of Yang's anger to the poor poor boy, Ruby felt bad. 'I shouldn't feel bad. I mean it's well justified... right?' Feeling wind hit her face... wait, wind? Yang was already gone.
Looking towards the vomit boy, she saw her sister already there and was on the process of completely beating up the poor boy.
"Damn. Your sister is brutal. Would hate to be that guy right now." Naruto spoke up beside her, he too was watching the beating being given out.
"She's extremely protective of her hair that's why." Ruby reasoned, eyes still fixated on the beating.
"I can see why. Her hair is quite beautiful and looks very well taken care of." Naruto admired.
"We have arrived at Beacon. Please see yourself out and proceed to the auditorium for Introduction to Beacon." A voice rang out through the airship.
"Well then Ruby, we've arrived. Can you stop your sister from beating on the guy? I feel sorry for him already. I'll go on ahead."
"Are you serious Naruto?! You're making me get her? You're leaving me to die!" Ruby exclaimed, flailing her arms around.
"Ruby. She's your sister, what do you have to be afraid of?" Naruto chuckled at her childish reaction.
"My death, obviously! Alright. Fine, I'll do it." Relenting, Ruby then tentatively approached her sister to get her to stop beating up the boy.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto looked out towards Beacon, looking for a place to hide in. He had just gotten outside of the constricting airship where he met Ruby and Yang. The cute and nervous younger sister and the outgoing and extroverted older sister was a very cheerful pair. He would love to be around them more, but his duties as Kurama's partner take priority.
'Kit... Those two...' Kurama's uneasy voice filled his thoughts.
'Yeah, I know Kurama. They're gonna be important to this world's future. I'm sure of it.' Naruto replied, already knowing what he was gonna say. He could feel something about them that just told him that they'd be instrumental to this world's future.
'So remind me again why we're here Kit. Why we're here in this world that seems relatively peaceful?'
'The Old Man Sage sent us here for a reason. I'm sure there's something going on around here: like the White Fang for example. And I'll make sure to finish the mission given to us by the old man, even if it kills me in the process, Dattebayo!'
'On another note, go to the bushes now!' Immediately understanding what Kurama wanted Naruto looked around for the aforementioned bushes. When he spotted one, he swiftly went to it and disappeared.
A few seconds later, the bush rustled and a golden fox with black markings excitedly shot out with a yip. Naruto then appeared right after it, although with a big difference. He didn't have a tail anymore and his whisker marks were less prominent.
When they came to this world, Naruto gained animal parts, specifically fox appendages. Through trial and error, they discovered that Kurama could come out of Naruto's body and Naruto's fox appendages would disappear. However it would come at a cost, the farther Kurama is from Naruto, the lesser the amount of Kurama's power he can use.
"What the hell Kurama? Where are you going?!" Naruto ran faster to catch up with Kurama who was already going inside the airship.
When Naruto finally caught up to him, Kurama was sitting at the entrance of the airship, looking dejected.
"Kit... she's not here anymore." Naruto looked at Kurama and saw that there were tears in his eyes.
"Well duh, they're probably already at the auditorium for the orientation. On that note, time is it?" Grabbing his scroll from his pocket, he turned it on and cursed, "Crap! We're already late! Kurama, let's go!"
However, the fox was already gone, clearly enthusiastic for some hugging from a certain blonde. "Perverted old fox. Ugh. Why do I have to be surrounded by perverts?" Sighing, Naruto looked up at the sky and started to make his way towards the auditorium, wherever that is.
"Stupid... Perverted... Dumb... Fox..." Naruto continued to grumble as he crossed the plaza which, strangely, had a black crater with smoke coming out. "Something must've exploded." Taking a sniff of the air, he added, "Smells like dust too. Who'd be stupid enough to use dust way out here though?"
Somewhere, Ruby sneezed unto Jaune covering him with snot. "Ew! Ew! Ew! Gross Ruby!" Jaune immediately tried wiping off the snot.
Ruby ignored him and said absently, "Huh. Someone must've talked about me."
Disregarding it as unimportant, Naruto continued his trek towards the auditorium, making sure that he wouldn't get lost. "Damn. Beacon's staff must be stupid or something, I mean why didn't they tell us where the auditorium is."
"Or maybe they did and you just didn't listen." Kurama suddenly spoke up beside him surprising Naruto so much that he tripped and fell.
Rubbing his nose to ease the pain, Naruto shouted to the cheeky fox, "What the Hell! Kurama! I thought you were already there! Why are you still here?" Naruto got up and started walking towards the building right in front of the plaza.
Running after him, Kurama leaped and lied down on Naruto's head, starting to doze off. "I don't know where's the auditorium. Because really, why else would I still be here with you when I could be there cuddling with some soft mounds?"
"Point taken." Naruto said dryly as he neared a huge door. Feeling that Kurama had fallen asleep, Naruto quickly returned him into the seal.
Foregoing knocking, Naruto, instead, kicked open the big-ass wooden oak door that probably lead to the auditorium and immediately shouted, "UZUMAKI NARUTO IS HERE! Go ahead and bow down to the greatness that is me!"
His entrance, however, was met with cold stares and unforgiving looks along with some incredulous looks.
Seeing the reactions of the masses, Naruto slumped down and immediately pouted, "Everyone's a critic."
"Hey Whiskers! Come here! I saved you a spot!"
Immediately brightening up at that sweet voice, Naruto started to make his way towards Yang who was chatting with Ruby, although the latter was apparently telling a story to Yang filled with hand gestures and motions.
"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?" Ruby said exasperated.
Yang merely grinned, "Are you being sarcastic?" Turning towards Naruto, she called, "Hey Whiskers, listen to this. Ruby exploded in front of the school!"
"Ahh... So that's why there was a hole back there." Naruto realized.
"Wait. What?! You weren't joking, Ruby?" Eyes widening in surprise, Yang immediately asked Ruby.
"I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!" Ruby answered, arms flailing around to prove her point.
Feeling someone staring at them, Naruto glanced behind Ruby and saw a white girl with white hair and white jacket over a white combat skirt topped off with white heels who was glaring at Ruby.
"You!" She shouted as she walked up to Ruby scaring her shitless and making her jump towards Yang, making her catch her while raising an eyebrow. "Oh, God, it's happening again!" She mumbled.
The white girl then pointed a finger towards Ruby, "You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!"
Ruby went down from her place in her sister's arms and raised her arms towards the girl trying to placate her. "It was an accident!" A pamphlet was shoved into her hands confusing Ruby. "Huh? What's this?"
The girl just started to speak with each word going faster and faster and its pitch going higher higher, "The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field."
Naruto, feeling sorry for Ruby, "Hey... Um. Miss. I'm sure my friend is completely sorry for what she's done."
The girl merely ignored him and asked Ruby as she rounded up to her, "You really wanna make it up to me?"
Ruby, unsure of her answer, replied, "Yeah?"
"Read this, and don't ever speak to me again." Her tone was snappish and cold, taking Yang aback.
"Look... Uhm. It seems to me you both just got off on the wrong foot. Why not start over and try to be friends, okay?" Yang tried making peace for the two girls.
"Great idea sis!"
Putting away the pamphlet, Ruby cleared her throat and gave the girl a big smile, "Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!"
Weiss then said with excitement in her tone, "Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like this tall handsome blond here!" Pointing towards Naruto who merely raised an eyebrow at being mentioned in the exchange.
Ruby, gaining hope that she'd somehow managed to get through Weiss' cold exterior, gave her a wide smile, "Wow, really?!"
Weiss' earlier glare returned and with every drip of coldness in her voice, she said, "No."
Their attention however was stolen by the sound of someone clearing their throat on the microphone. Looking towards the stage, they saw Professor Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon, together with some teachers like Ms. Goodwitch from earlier.
Professor Ozpin leaned his head close to the microphone and spoke, " I'll..." He fixed his glasses then continued, "Keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction." At this, students started whispering but Professor Ozpin paid them no heed and merely continued. " You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
Glynda, seeing that Ozpin had finished, walked up to the microphone to inform them that they would have to gather at the ballroom for the night and that they would have their initiation the following day.
"He seemed kind of," Yang paused, eyebrows scrunched up as she chose the correct word, "...off"
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby affirmed. Ruby having met the man personally before knew that there was something wrong. He seemed like such a nice and welcoming man when they met that night. However, today-
Her train of thought was disrupted when Yang suddenly picked her up, "Come on Rubes, we've gotta save ourselves a nice spot." She said excitedly.
As they walked away, Naruto was deep in thought. He knew the professor was troubled by something but what it was, he didn't know. And what he didn't know, he didn't like. After all, while he was away with Jiraiya he was taught the value of information. How it could be the difference of life and death.
When he first arrived in this world, just outside a town, with a severe lack of information, he immediately tried finding the library and reading some books. And by that, he meant he'd force his clones to read it while he checked his powers. However as soon as one of his clones opened a book, the clone immediately dispelled letting the original know that while their spoken tongue might be the same, the written scripts were very different. Once he found that out, he stopped his training and tried learning the written scripts of Remnant but there was a huge problem: he didn't have anyone that could help him and Kurama was still asleep after their dimensional jump.
After days spent thinking of ways to learn the writings, he finally thought up of a solution, albeit a very stupid one. He was going to go to pre-school. Under a Henge of course! While yes, it did seem very stupid, it would help him in the long run. He could act as though he was an orphan that came from outside the village whose parents were killed by Grimm. This way, he could get himself REAL, TRUTHFUL and, most importantly, LEGAL documents of himself. This way, he wouldn't have to create fake documents that could be more trouble than it was worth.
Of course, he would only send a Shadow Clone under a Henge to school so that he could still keep himself sharp and ready for battle. He would just leave a mark on where his duplicate was staying in the town and he would just use Hiraishin in the morning and create the Shadow Clone that would go to school. This way, he could travel the world of Remnant while learning how to read and how this world works. And his plan worked perfectly.
In his travels, he met lots of different people and lots of different Grimm. The people he met never found out that he couldn't read, because, really, imagine how they would react when they learned that he couldn't do something children could. He wanted to keep his reputation, thank you very much. And the Grimm... Well, none of them escaped him alive.
Grimm, the creatures of darkness, actually surprised him a lot when he first encountered them. He chuckled when he remembered how his first meeting with Grimm went.
- Flashback
He had already left the town where his clone would be staying at and he was already bored. He couldn't read books except the ones he had on him because he couldn't read this world's language. He couldn't even train because he wasn't 100% yet. He wasn't foolish enough to train while recuperating unlike when he was younger. Besides, Kurama was still asleep. 'This lazy furball.' Naruto cursed.
Feeling a certain urge come up to him, he swiftly went towards a big bush, opened his zipper and relieved himself. Tilting his head back, Naruto groaned in pleasure of the feeling of urinating. And because of this, he never noticed the red eyes staring at him from behind the bush he was peeing on.
Feeling a shift in the air, Naruto quickly stopped peeing, fixed his pants and leapt back. Standing there where he originally stood was a hideous creature. It's color was black with the shape of a wolf and red eyes. There were bone-like spikes protruding from its arms, back, and knees. Its hands and feet were also tipped with long, sharp, white claws. And it strangely smelled like... urine?
Understanding why the creature attacked him, Naruto quickly tried remedying the situation, "Hey, Umm... I'm sorry I peed on you. Wanna be friends?" Keyword: tried. The creature shot out towards him with its claws sharp and ready to tear flesh, Naruto simply side-stepped the lunge and tried once more.
"It was completely unintentional. I promise! I didn't know you were there. I wouldn't have peed there if I did. Friends now?" Again, keyword: tried. Giving it a grin as it turned its body towards him, Naruto was a bit peeved that this creature didn't want to be friends. The creature simply lunged again this time with mouth wide open intent on biting down the human.
As it neared him, Naruto couldn't help but react at the odor coming out from its mouth. "Jeez, do you even know what a mouthwash is?" He commented before giving its lower jaw an uppercut, closing its mouth. Naruto, with extreme precision because he didn't want to touch his pee, held its limbs and pulled, tearing the creature apart.
Hearing a growl from behind him, Naruto's arm suddenly shot out and punched another one of the creature that he just killed. Naruto started feeling his tiredness. He still hadn't recovered from the travel because he was still injured and he had walked quite the distance and, now, he was fighting the strange creatures. As if sensing his fatigue, the creature suddenly leapt towards him arms raised to pierce him. Naruto simply front flipped over it and landed on its back, snapping its jaw shut by putting an arm around it. With that, Naruto quickly unspooled some ninja wire and started tying up the creature. He closed the beast's mouth and tied it in a way so it couldn't open its jaws and it could act as reins.
"Since you made me tired, you're gonna have to carry me you mangy mutt!" Latching on the ends of the wire, He sat on its back as though it was a horse. Seeing that it wasn't doing what he wanted, he spanked its ass and pulled its tail making the strange wolf jerk. "Hey... What are you anyways?" Naruto thought out loud.
"What the fuck! You defeated them that easily without weapons but you don't even know what they are?!"
- End Flashback
Naruto chuckled at the memory of how he met his supposed bestfriend in this world. His travelling companion throughout the years of his journey. His name was-
"HEY WHISKERS!"
Naruto did something that he would never admit in a million years. He gave out a feminine scream.
"Did you just..." Yang trailed off, staring at Naruto with shock.
Naruto huffed and glared at her. "Not one word." Yang slowly nodded while holding back her laughter, trying to wrap her mind around how Naruto looked when surprised. The way he lightly jumped in shock and landing without a sound to how his whiskers stood up akin to a cat, she took it all in.
"So, why did you call me?" Naruto changed the subject. He looked around and added, "And where did everyone go?"
"They're already getting ready for bed duh. It's been hours since Prof. Ozpin finished his speech." Yang told him. Seeing his eyes widen, she added, "Don't tell me you didn't notice Whiskers? What? You've been Yanging here for the last few hours?"
Seeing Yang's incredulous look, he sheepishly smiled and said, "Yeah...?" Silence followed his words.
"Anyways, why're you here Yang?" He said while walking towards where he sensed the others were staying.
Yang caught up to him and replied, "Ruby and I noticed you weren't there at the ballroom so we came to look for you. I'll go on ahead then. A girl's still gotta get ready for bed y'know." With that, Yang picked up her speed and left Naruto lagging behind.
'Damn. Got left alone again.' He sighed. 'Though I do love the view.' He thought as he stared at the swaying derrière in front of him. Shaking his head, he stretched his arms upwards to the sky, looked towards the sky and smiled.
'This is gonna be an adventure of a lifetime.'
