So, I just want to say, please don't be too upset. This idea had been in my mind for quite a while, and what helped to get it out was changing the pace from Rue the Day. Some details I'd like to state. There will be 3 OC's in this story, that will come out in a chapter or two. I already have Naruto's team and their name. One thing I'd like to ask, is who do you think Naruto should be paired with? (Ruby is out of the question, because she is going to be more like a little sister)
OC?
Blake?
Yang?
Weiss?
Give me ideas, and why you think, and I'll see what happens. I really do not want to make this a story where he has multiple girlfriends, so one please!
That having been said, I'll be able to put out the next chapter of Rue the Day shortly! Thank you for your patience!
In a fight that would lead to the death of one of the, Naruto and Sasuke stood on opposite ends of the Valley of the End. Anger filled Sasuke's eyes, as he realized that even after gaining his curse mark, he was still slightly weaker than Naruto.
"How?! How is it that you are stronger?!" He growled, allowing his anger to come out in his voice.
"I have people I want to protect! I'm fighting to bring you home! Where you belong! We can help you!" Naruto responded, unsure of why Sasuke was jealous of him. It wasn't as if he'd been given extra training, if anything Sasuke was given special treatment.
"I don't need your help! I don't need your friendship! I DON'T NEED YOU!" Sasuke shouted, activating his curse mark all the way, and charging a chidori. Naruto could only choke back his thoughts, and summon a clone to help him with his Rasengan. As the two attacks were prepared, both boys had thoughts of home. Naruto, considering his life of solitude and Sasuke, with his path of revenge. Both boys orphans, and both boys living opposite lives. Somewhere in his mind, Naruto knew that this was his last battle. There was a gut feeling that he wouldn't make it out of this one alive. In his moment of clarity, he also realized that the village had screwed him over, quite royally. They beat him down, tore his life apart, and in the most simple form of abuse, ignored his existence entirely.
"This will be the last attack," he muttered to himself, resolved to see his fight, and friendship, through to the end. He knew that Sasuke would never be swayed from his intended bath, and through that knowledge, he came to peace.
"At least I'll die by the hand of a friend." Naruto sighed, before charging towards Sasuke with all the speed he had left. Sasuke did the same, without the sentimental thoughts in his mind. He knew that Naruto was his one friend, and that the only way to unlock the ultimate form of his Sharingan was to murder his best friend. The resolve, and means were all in front of him, and the fight could not have gone better in his favor. Some regret formed in the back of his mind, however Sasuke had bigger issues to worry about.
With a solid thrust of his lightning coated hand, Sasuke forced his Chidori thorugh the chest of his only friend, and self-sworn brother.
"You will go on to do great things, my friend. I wish you all the best, in your continued life." Naruto spoke, blood spitting out of his mouth as he did. In that moment Sasuke realized that Naruto did not intend to finish the fight fairly. He threw his end of the battle, towards Sasuke's favor.
"Why…?" Sasuke asked, supporting the failing body of his teammate.
"I knew you were the one to come out on top as soon as we charged our ultimate attacks. It felt right. And it was only right that you were able to take control of your own destiny. Do well, in this life, for me." Naruto gasped, unable to pass anymore air, or blood, through his heart or lungs.
As the blond haired boy passed away in his arms, Sasuke swore to take up his nindo. It was in that moment, that a new person was born. The Elemental Nations would live to fear the legacy that was, Naruto Uzumaki.
In a blinding flash of light, Naruto felt his body shifting, as if he were being pushed around by something, however he couldn't pinpoint what.
"I see you've joined me. Welcome, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. I would say that I am happy to see you, however that isn't exactly true. I do not like to see my children die so young, and at the hands of a friend as well." A deep, soothing voice resounded, coming from everywhere around him.
"Wh-ack," Naruto coughed, before clearing his throat, "Who are you?"
"I am Kami, of your realm at least. There are many others like me, however I was granted your world to watch." The voice responded, in a slightly amused manner.
"Why am I here? Wherever the hell this is…" Naruto muttered, attempting to gain his bearings, before realizing that he was floating in surrounded by black. He could see himself, with the hole through his jacket and the burn marks from Sasuke's lightning jutsu.
"Well, you died, first of all. And I tend to favor you. You have been a boy I've been watching closely. Your parents were great people and shinobi, and they loved you, even though they were not able to raise you." Kami spoke sadly, making Naruto think back to the beginning of their conversation.
"Wait, you called me Namikaze…you don't mean…"
"I do. Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage, was your father. Your mother was Kushina Uzumaki. She was one of the strongest kunoichi in your village. They were so happy when they realized they were pregnant with you." Kami chuckled, watching Naruto's face pale and his eyes widen drastically. Before Naruto could panic, Kami held his hand up and waved it slightly. The motion set off a change in Naruto's body. He felt something grow and form on the top of his head, while out of his seat he felt the back of his pants tear, and three appendages burst through. Claws extended themselves from his fingers, and he could feel his eyes and teeth changing.
"I have merged what was left of Kurama into your body, you are now one being. Where I am sending you, this will allow you some special abilities. I will also give you some time to adjust to your new weapons. They are quite different from the kunai you are used to. With that said, do your best to help Ruby when you meet her, she is another one of my favorites!" Kami smirked, before launching Naruto through a portal with a shove, while at the same time inputing the necessary information into his mind about the world he was falling into, and what Kami had made him.
The headache that the information infused push through a portal caused was almost as bad as dying in the first place, and if not for the fact that Naruto was alive again, and not entirely human anymore, he'd have wished to be dead once more. Once the pain receded, Naruto was able to process that he was in fact alive, on the ground in a forest somewhere in the world, and he was nearly naked. The only clothing he had on was the bottoms from his jumpsuit. The rest had been torn up, revealing his toned upper body, with white lines that spread from his chest outward.
"Remnants of my death huh?" Naruto spoke, his voice slightly deeper than it had been before.
"Kami mentioned that I'd be older here, compared to when I died. I'd say 16." He mused out loud, before turning to the look around. On the ground next to him was a pair of blades, sitting in leather sheathes. They were connected by a chain, however they also had triggers and revolvers in the hilt and crossguard.
"This must be Kurama. A fitting name." Naruto smiled, taking a few swings of his blades before securing them to his belt. Their uses were greater than just how they looked, the chains extended, allowing for Naruto to use one of the swords in a similar way to a kusarigama. The other use was as guns, as they could fire dust in different formations to serve different purposes (think like how Weiss uses her rapier). Taking note of the terrain he was in, and how warm it was, Naruto could predict that he was in Menagerie. Based off of what Kami told him would happen, as he inputed the information into his mind before shoving him through a portal, Naruto needed to be in Vale in order to help this Ruby person.
"Hey! You! Who are you?" A voice called from a little ways away in the woods.
"Uh, lost. And Naruto uh, Namikaze." Naruto stuttered out a response, while simultaneously reaching for Kurama.
"Calm down, I'm not going to attack you. You look like you've been through enough anyway. I'm Blake Belladonna. Need some help?" A girl walked through the woods with long black hair, wearing a white sleeveless crop top, a black vest and black leggings, with white shorts over them. She had a weapon strapped to her back, and her ears and visible.
"You're a lost faunus? I had thought everyone around here would know where they were? Are you from Sanus?" Blake asked, confused at finding a faunus who didn't know where they were.
"I'm a faunus, and I'm lost, yes. I don't really know how else to explain this, but god pushed me through a portal after merging me with a giant nine-tailed fox demon, who killed my parents. I died in another world and was sent to this one for some reason." Naruto spat out as quickly as he could, knowing he was going to sound crazy.
"Did you hit your head?" Blake asked, stepping closer to inspect his head, hoping that she didn't happen to find an insane person.
"No. Maybe. I don't know. It did hurt. Otherwise, I need clothing, and a ticket to Vale. I have to meet with someone there." Naruto shrugged, figuring that it was easier to let her think he was crazy. If it weren't for the fact that he looked like he had just walked through an Ursa den, she probably would have left him alone.
"You don't have any money do you?" Blake sighed, before gesturing for the weird fox faunus to follow her. Realizing that he still had three tails, Naruto willed two of them away before following her.
"This is Kuo Kuana. It's the port city, and the major city, of Menagerie. Once you can, I'd start making money, because people aren't going to be paying for you all the time. Good thing you're buying clothes here too, we make clothing that fits faunus with tails and other appendages." Blake continued to speak, not particularly caring to make sure Naruto was listening. She found him strange, with the markings he had on his face, as well as the fact that his fur coloring was different from his hair color. He was tall, probably a good few inches taller than herself, with wild bright blonde hair. His ears were a deep orange, almost red, with black tips, with the same color reflecting on his tail. He had three whisker like marks on his cheeks, which were lean. His eyes were blue, however his pupil resembled that of a fox, with the thin vertical line.
"I'll help you find clothes. Do you have any color preferences? Id say stick to blacks greys and whites, considering that's what we have in abundance. We have some colors too, I'll throw them in. Otherwise you'd need to get more clothing in Vale. It's a much bigger city." Blake led Naruto over to a store, helping him pick out some clothing to try on. Naruto was too deep in his thoughts about where he was and what was going on that he went with what she'd picked and went to the dressing room without question. Blake could tell that he was not normally the type to just do as told, leading her to believe something was wrong with the weird blonde. Within the dressing room, he pulled a deep orange tank top over his head, and slid his arms into the sleeves of the black leather coat, before pulling on the black pants and black boots. Glancing in the mirror, he had to admit, it was a good look for him, less loud than he normally would have worn, but with the fact that he was a Faunus in a world of humans, he wasn't flying under the radar anytime soon.
"These are perfect, I'll grab some more when I get to Vale, thanks." Naruto spoke, stepping out of the fitting room with the clothes on, running his hand through his shaggy hair. It felt like he needed a good shower, but would have to wait a little while before that was possible. Blake could only stare at the man in front of her. He was her age, but the new clothing made him look older. A small blush formed on her face, before she shook her head and paid for him. The lady behind the register, a nice looking bunny faunus smiled and waved at them both before they left.
"That's probably the first time in my life I wasn't thrown out of a store while buying clothes." Naruto commented offhandedly, his tone light and matter of fact rather than remorseful or sad.
"You've had that happen to you? Even in the other countries they won't do that to us." Blake looked at him with an incredulous face.
"That was where I lived before coming here. I told you, I wasn't from this world." Naruto smiled sadly, before walking towards the port.
"Unless we can find a ramen stand along the way, I should head to Vale. I need to be there before nightfall tonight." Naruto glanced over his shoulder, letting her know she should come along for the moment. Blake followed, considering his words again. He did act like he had no idea what was going on for the most part, and even though treatment between many of the other continents and those from Menagerie was tense at best, she hadn't really heard of what he had gone through before.
"There will be a place in Vale I'm sure. If you take the next air transport it'll get there with enough time for you to eat before nightfall." Blake sighed, following him closely. He was an interesting person, without a doubt. She hadn't seen him fight yet, but for some reason he seemed to be giving off this air of strength. The wind seemed to follow him too, which made it seem as though he was controlling it in some way.
"Thank's for helping, you didn't have to, but you did. I appreciate it. Hope I get to run into you again, Blake Belladonna." Naruto smiled, stepping onto the plane. It would be an interesting journey, especially knowing that once he got to Vale, he needed to make a good impression on the good Professor Ozpin, because that was his ticket into Beacon academy. Kami told him that he would have flashes of the future events as they occur, only because he needed to prevent some of them from actually happening. It sure was different being the knowledgeable one for once. He couldn't wait to meet the rest of team RWBY.
So, to explain how he already knew about team RWBY and how she meets Ozpin. Kami, who watches over Remnant (mostly just watches. doesn't do anything but throw Naruto in) wants to change some of the events of RWBY, even if it just means throwing the blonde knucklehead into the mix. Stands to be seen how differently things go when Naruto is involved. That having been said, Naruto will have some knowledge of events, limited to flashes in his memory around the time something is about to happen. Poorly explained way of saying he can see the future maybe 2-3 seconds before it happens. The only reason he knew about RWBY is because of Kami. Otherwise he's as clueless as always.
Please let me know of thoughts, avoid just shitting on me if you can help yourself, if not please see the beginning of the first 3(?) chapters of Rue the Day. It is very nicely laid out there. No more death threats, please and thank you. This was a rough chapter, even in my own opinion, just to lay out ground for Naruto in Remnant. It will pick up with the actual events from RWBY in the next chapter. Also it should be longer.
