This probably isn't gonna end up being a full time story like 'Dawn Over Remnant', this is just something to keep me busy during down time in class.

"Are you absolutely sure about this Kurama, everyone?" Naruto asked the massive fox along with the other eight tailed beasts that stood before him in the wasteland in the land of wind. Next to him stood only a select few people which included Gaara, Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Killer Bee, and the remaining three kage. Naruto was no longer the young man who had fought to save the world, he was the hokage and a father of two and grandfather of of five. He was taller and had grown a beard in his age, he was nearing fifty and would likely be retiring within the next few years. He'd already been grooming his successor for several years now in the form of Sarada Uchiha.
"Yes, we've all discussed it in great length." The nine tailed fox gestured to his siblings. Each of the beasts had been living peacefully for the past few decades, each had even been given their own territory to live in peace. Disturbing, attacking, or attempting to seal any of the beasts had been labeled an S-class crime by every major village and the offenders would be considered S-class criminals in every one of the five great nations, as well as over a dozen smaller nations. "Leaving is the best course of action for us. As much as we hate to admit it, you and all your friends will die soon, no matter how strong you may be time will always win. Whether it be years or decades from now, it will happen. Given enough time however I'm certain humans will grow fearful of us again and you will not be around to dissuade their fears."
Naruto sighed and nodded knowing that he was true, the beasts were immortal but he wasn't, he wouldn't always be around to help them. Still it wasn't easy, even after designing and perfecting a jutsu that would allow him to remove the fox from his seal and to go free Kurama had opted to remain near the village, living inside the forest of death where nobody ever went to bother him other than Naruto himself. "Well what right do we have to stop you if this is truly what you want." The hokage smiled up at his old friend. "But are you sure about what will happen once you leave this dimension?"
"No, there is a chance we'll end up in a void for eternity, but we've all agreed we're willing to risk it. Besides I'm sure the Uchiha over there has enough mastery over that Rinnegan to send us somewhere nice." The fox looked to where Sasuke stood.
"Indeed, but I can't guarantee everything will go over smoothly, different realities abide by different laws. There no telling what might happen once you've entered into a new one." Sasuke explained.
"Yeah yeah we know all that, can we hurry this up already?" Shukaku complained from nearby earning a punch to the head from Son Goku. (It's still weird to me that he's named that.)
"Shut it you stupid raccoon." The four tailed monkey growled earning a laugh from Naruto.
"Well then I guess this is goodbye then." Naruto held up his fist to the fox. "I'll miss you partner."
Kurama smiled as well. "It's been fun brat."
As they said there goodbyes Sasuke began building up his chakra while shifting through hand signs at lightning speed. "Naruto, I'm gonna need some help here, I don't have enough chakra to create a portal large or stable enough to transport all nine of them." The Uchiha spoke as he continued flipping through the staggering number of seals.
Before the hokage could reply Kurama moved one of his tails to touch the Uchiha's back. "Take mine, it's more potent."
"Our's as well." The two tailed cat added doing the same followed by the rest of the tailed beasts.
Power was rolling off of the Uchiha as he formed the final seal. "Amenominaka!" He shouted as a massive black portal opened up revealing a black void. Sasuke fell to one knee with sweat dripping from his face. "There, the portal should stay open for about a minute so go quickly." He spoke as he tried to catch his breath.
"Very well, time to go." Kurama told his siblings before looking to the blonde hokage one last time. "See ya kid." And with those words he stepped through the portal.
Remnant
It was a peaceful night on the planet that sat beneath a shattered moon, everything was as it should be, until the sky shattered and nine glowing balls of light flew out of the shattered sky and in different directions across the planet. Then as quickly as this baffling event occurred the sky knitted itself back together and everything returned to peace as if nothing had ever happened.
One of these glowing balls shined a bright orange as it flew through the sky at incredible speeds, slowly lowering towards the ground as it went until it began skimming the tops of trees as it went. Finally the ball slammed into the ground tearing a long trench into the ground uprooting trees as it went. When the ball finally came to a halt and the light began to fade a small form laid wiggling on the ground.
From the trees nearby a person stepped out of the darkness and towards the form in the crater, a man wearing robes and a wide straw hat, in his hand a staff with rings hanging from the top. "By the gods." He spoke breathlessly as he approached, when he saw what was in the crater he sped up.
There laid a naked newborn baby boy, on his head sat a pair of pointed fox ears and behind him were nine furry tails. Picking the child up the man removed the haori he'd been wearing over his robes and wrapped the baby up in it to keep him warm. Looking at the long crater and thinking back to the light he'd seen in the sky the man frowned before looking back down to the sleeping child. "I don't understand what is happening or where you came from, but this is doubtlessly the work of the gods." Looking back up to the sky the man closed his eyes. "I will take this child and raise him to follow the right path, I swear this."
Sixteen years later
"Shuichi!" An old monk shouted as he walked through the forest near an incredibly old monastery. "Shuichi get out here this instant!" Laying on a branch in a nearby tree was a teenage boy wearing orange monk robes with black trimmings, he had long crimson red hair that reached down to the middle of his. On his head were a pair of furry red fox ears, but what stood out the most however were the nine fluffy fox tails behind him. "Shuichi!" The old man shouted up at the teen who laid comfortably.
Letting out a sigh the boy looked boy at the old man with his crimson eye and slit pupils. "What do you want old man?"
"You skipped morning prayer again today, and Taishi claims you instigated another fight yesterday. This behavior is unacceptable." The old man chastised the fox boy angrily.
"I didn't 'instigate' anything, he was being a prick so I introduced his face to the ground. Why teach me to fight if you're just gonna get pissy every time I do?" The fox jumped down from his perch and landed in front of the old monk who'd found him so many years ago.
Letting out a tried sigh of his own the old monk pinched the bridge of his nose. "Shuichi, if I've told you once I've told you a million times, our martial arts are meant for meditation and prayer, not violence. Violence is never the answer to any situation."
Shuichi laughed. "I could think of several situations where violence is the exact answer."
Shaking his head at his adoptive sons attitude. "Enough, I don't wish to argue with you child, I haven't the energy. We have a very special guest visiting the temple today and I want you to meet him." The old man explained.
"Very special, I thought all beings were equal in the eyes of the gods, isn't that why you won't let me eat meat?" The teen crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"This man has been touched by the gods themselves." The man's voice was now completely serious earning a frown from the boy.
"You... the wizard?"
"Yes Shuichi, which is why you will be on your very best behavior or you will be polishing every statue in the monastery by yourself." The man warned earning a terrified look from the boy who knew just how many statues there were.
Several minutes later
The pair walked through the temple garden, sitting on a stone bench was a silver haired man wearing green, in his hand was a cane with a silver handle. Sitting across from him was an incredibly on man wearing white robes around his waist, his bony chest was left bare. "Master Takai, I have brought Shuichi as you asked." The monk spoke as he knelt down and bowed before the silver haired man. "It's an honor to see you again Master Ozpin. Shuichi kneel."
"Why, he hates it." The boy responded flatly causing the three older men to look at him with a variety of looks. Looking to the silver haired man the fox gave a nod. "My semblance allows me to sense all kinds of negative emotions in people, the whole bowing and kneeling thing annoys and frustrates you to no end right?"
Ozpin chuckled. "Indeed, but I thought it rude to say anything. I'm surprised, I was under the belief that the monks of this temple looked down upon the manipulation of ones aura, using ones soul for combat invites corruption through the violence. I've never met a monk here with a semblance." The man smiled as he spoke.
"Normally you're right, but my old man here found me in the woods when I was a baby. My aura was already unlocked and as a child I started being able to feels negative emotions from others, now I can't really turn it off." He shrugged.
Ozpin nodded. "That can't be easy, having a constant flow of negativity forcing it's way into your heart."
Shuichi laughed at that. "You get use to it, besides, I've managed to lessen the effective area with a bit of concentration so if I go chill in the woods it doesn't bother me. Animals don't have a lot of negative emotions, their just hungry or horny, not much else." Shuichi laughed again as his father glared at him for his impropriety. "What? It's nature."
"Going off alone into the woods is rather dangerous, aren't you worried about grimm?" Ozpin asked.
Shuichi raised an eyebrow. "You really like asking questions you already know the answers to huh?"
This time Ozpin was the one to laugh. "You're not the first person I've heard say that." Turning to the eldest monk Ozpin stood and bow lightly. "Thank you again, and please remain vigilant. Our foes are still looking for Amber, they may look here for her."
"And the gods will show us the way if such a thing happens." The old man bowed his head deeply once again.
Days later
Shuichi snored lightly with his head resting on his tail as he laid against his favorite tree, the evening air was cool and the forest was quiet. Several small animals such as squirrels and birds inhabited the trees and forest floor around him, everything was peaceful.
Then his nose twitched as an odd smell began tickling his nostrils, cracking his eyes open the fox faunus let out a long yawn before stretching his back. "What's burning?" He asked scratching his side. Rising to his feet he yawned again and began walking in the direction of the monastery. The walk was normal but the smell of smoke only continued to grow as he walked. "I really need to pull the trigger on that idea to build a cabin out h..." He stopped cold as he was hit by a massive wave of emotion. Anger, pain, fear, sadness, hate, there was so much it was nearly tangible. Seconds later Shuichi took off in a sprint, what he found when he arrived he was not prepared for.
Death everywhere, the monastery was burning and the corpses of his fellow monks were piled next to the prayer hall as it burned. A large group of people wearing masks stood around the area, each held a weapon whether it be a gun or a blade. Shuichi fell to his knees as he stared wide eyed at the carnage. "Shu..." He heard from nearby.
Turning to the voice he saw his heavily bleeding father looking at him, another monks corpse was pinning him to the ground. "Pops... what..." Shuichi murmured in a state of shock.
"Run." That was the last word the older man spoke before falling limp.
"HEY! We missed one!" A shout could be heard as several of the men began approaching. "Damn, he's a faunus." The man almost sounded sad.
Shuichi never looked away from his fathers face however, even as the men surrounded him. "He's just a kid, he can't be older than seventeen."
"Look at all those tails he's got, are we sure we have to do this? Maybe we can recruit him." Another asked.
"We have our orders." One man spoke stepping in front of Shuichi and raising his gun to the teens head. "I'm really sorry this had to happened to you son, I hope you find peace with what gods you worshiped here."
Just as the man pulled the trigger however, something odd happened. Shuichi disappeared in a blur and a geyser of blood began spewing from the mans neck, or at least what was left of it as there was a large portion missing, like it had been ripped out violently. The man began screaming in agony followed quickly by gurgling as blood began filling his lungs.
"You bastards." A voice filled with more rage and malice than any man should be capable of spoke from behind the group causing them to whip around and aim their weapons at the source. Shuichi stood with blood smeared across his mouth and jaw, the whisker mark on his cheeks had thickens, his finger nails had lengthened and become sharper as did his canines. His eyes had become cold and empty of any life, only hatred remained. A cloak of red energy rolled off him as he stood, this energy set every hair on the mens bodies on end. "I'm gonna kill you all."
Two days Later
Ozpin wasn't one to wear his emotions on his sleeve, in fact he'd heard it joked that he didn't have any emotions at all with how calm he always was, but today he couldn't deny the tears. Even with both Glynda and Qrow standing behind him as he stared at the ruins that were only days ago a beautiful monastery, he couldn't completely block the grief that he felt for the men who'd died here, many of which were his friends.
"Oz, Glyn and I can look for survivors. You don-"
"Thank you Qrow, but that won't be necessary." He cut the man off and began walking forward.
"Their gone." A younger voice spoke from nearby causing Qrow and Glynda to both draw their weapons. "Everyone, so don't waste your time wizard." A familiar nine tailed fox faunus spoke from next to a nearby tree.
"Shuichi." Ozpin murmured.
"That's not my name anymore, as a monk I've disgraced myself and have forfeited that name." The boy approached the group, as he stepped out of the shade of the tree they were able to see the blood splattered all over him as well as the bags under his eyes.
"What happened?" Ozpin asked as he took the sight of the boy in.
"Still asking question you know the answer to." The boy shook his head, a look of sadness and pain permanently painted onto his face. "Men came and killed them, then I killed them back. Any monk who kills another is forsaken and nameless, I killed twenty nine."
Ozpin couldn't help himself as he stepped up to the boy and pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry."
The boy was silent and motionless for several minutes. "So am I."
Releasing the boy Ozpin placed his hands on the boy shoulders. "Come to Beacon, please."
The boy looked around for a moment. "Tell me everything."
"I will." Ozpin didn't hesitate, this boy deserved to know why this happened.
"Then let's go." He didn't wait for anymore reply before he began walking.
"Wait, you need a name, even if you gave yours up." Ozpin stopped him, knowing the boy couldn't go nameless, it would only serve to reinforce his pain.
Looking to his feet he thought quietly. "Kurama."
I gotta admit I'm not a huge fan of how this chapter ended but it's the best I could think up. Leave me a review, maybe if you guys like it enough I'll keep writing for it. Until next time.
