Chapter I
"Are you sure you want to go through with this, Mr. Uchiha?"
"I'm sure. He can't live the life of a shinobi like my daughter because the man that's been targeting me could go after him, but he can live his life as a Huntsman in this dimension. I'll explain his absence to my wife and daughter...so I only hope they understand..."
"Ah, I see...but what do I do about the special gift he has?"
"I left you some notes on the Sharingan and how to train him. I also left you this container just in case he reaches a certain level that would render him blind. I must warn you that these are artificial Sharingan eyes that Orochimaru made in his spare time with my DNA, so there's a chance that they could work in the case he ever becomes blind from the over usage of the Mangekyō phase."
"Good to know, then. I have one question, though. When will you return for your son?"
"...I'm honestly not sure for the time being. I'm being targeted and I'd rather leave my children in the hands of different caretakers than leave both at the village. I trust that my friend can care for my wife and daughter, but the same goes for you, Ozpin. I trust that you will take care of my son while I lead the man after me and him away from the village. But at the most, I'll give it seven years though depends on what seven years is to this place. I must get going before he finds me here."
"I will say you are an honorable man, going such lengths to protect your family, even if it means separating them for the greater good. Such sacrifices but I do have hopes they will pay off."
A portal soon opens as the black-haired man put his cloak up and exited through leaving the tousled silver-haired individual to look down at the sleeping ten-year-old boy with black hair that was on par with his father but had a small magenta streak on the left side of his hair.
{JNPR's Dorm}
"REEEEN~!" the voice of an orange-haired Valkyrie cried out, waking up the black-haired teenager, whose onyx eyes originated from his father. He turned to face his partner who was none other than Nora Valkyrie.
"Yes, Nora, what is it...?" the tired teen asks Nora, who simply pouts in response before she grabbed him by the shoulders and began to rapidly shake the boy.
"You promised me pancakes first thing in the morning, Ren! You should know exactly why I'm calling your name!" Nora shouts, much to Ren's amusement, even as he was being shook by his long-time friend and slight crush.
For those wondering, his full name was in fact, "Ren Uchiha". Now Ren wasn't an unusual name—there are very few Ren's in the world of Remnant, but the last name "Uchiha" was one that was unfamiliar and only three individuals knew of where it came from—those three being Professor Ozpin, Glynda Goodwitch and Nora. The latter was told this after an eventful first encounter...
{Seven Years Ago...}
In a faraway forest, several Beowolves cornered a ten-year-old girl into a tree growling as they began to move in on the defenseless child. However, before any of them could lunge at her...
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
A massive orb of roaring flames came at the direction of the Beowolves effectively wiping out five of them, leaving only three alive. Suddenly, the savior dropped in front of the girl and the remaining Beowolves much to their surprise as he wore a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat, with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. The trimming goes down the right side of his torso and forms a black collar. He also sported light-tan pants with black shoes. What was interesting was that on the back of his tailcoat was a symbol that greatly resembled a paper-fan with the top being red and the bottom being white.
"Are you alright?" he asked, turning to the girl.
However, rather than replying, she was staring into his eyes that were red and each side had what appeared to be commas when in actuality they were two tomoes. Luckily, she managed to snap out of her thoughts and nod her head rapidly. The boy proceeded to pull out a dagger and got into a stance as he readies himself against the three Beowolves, waiting for one of them to strike. He got his wish when the one of the left lunged forward only to hit nothing but air and soon was sliced in half by the boy at quick speed. The girl gasped, not knowing how he was able to move at quick speed before looking up and seeing him in the air performing what looked like hand signs.
"Get out of the way!" he cried out and the girl nodded her head as she ran to a safe location. Though, she viewed the battle from that area as the boy once again cried out, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
A continuous wave of fire rained down on the remaining howling Beowolves, effectively incinerating them. The young boy landed on his feet as the Grimm were all dealt with and his eyes reverted back to black. Albeit slightly exhausted, he was still able to walk before looking in the direction of the tree the girl was hiding behind.
"It's safe to come out now. The Beowolves won't be bothering you now," he called out as the girl made her way towards him, still a bit taken back by what she just witnessed.
"...Who are you? And where did you come from?" she asked with the boy calmly looking at her from top to bottom.
"My name is Ren Uchiha and I was training not too far from here. What are you doing here exactly?" Ren raised an eyebrow.
"My name's Nora...and I-I was just walking by. I didn't think there would be any Grimm here..." Nora said looking down.
"Where are your parents? They must be worried sick about your well-being," he responded.
"...I don't have any parents. I'm an orphan..." Nora answered somberly.
Ren winced before facing the opposite direction and made a motion for Nora to follow him. Soon after, he had introduced Nora to Ozpin and Goodwitch, both who would take in Nora and personally train her to be a Huntress alongside Ren. She was later told who Ren really is, but was ordered to keep secret.
"If word were to get out about where Ren really came from and what his eyes are, it would draw in unnecessary attention to him. And it wouldn't be the kind of attention you'd want to have when there's a possible chance of assassins who would attempt to come at him," Ozpin explained to Nora who nodded, understanding why keeping Ren's origins a secret was a huge deal.
{Beacon Dining Hall}
Very few students were in Beacon's Dining Hall, much to the surprise of Ren who usually expected about fifty, but who was he to complain. He had gotten down to making Nora those pancakes she wanted and while she dug in, Ren indulged himself into his studies which included reading two books with one having the title reading, "The Study of Chakra" and the other, "Aura".
"Mmm, mmm!" Nora tried to speak, but all that came out was mumbles due to stuffing her face with pancakes, which amused the teenage Uchiha.
"Nora, you know you don't talk with a mouth full of pancakes," Ren remarks with a small grin.
The pouting Nora put her hands on her hips as she swallowed in the pancakes she had stuffed into her mouth, then asks, "What I tried to say was that you're studying both Aura and chakra at the same time?"
"Yes, Ozpin wants me to have complete mastery of both concepts and while I do have a basic grasp of Aura and how it works, I excel more in the chakra department. Besides I'm trying to work on Aura and how I can use it offensively," Ren explains to Nora who nodded and resumed her eating.
Ren continued to read through the pages of the book on Aura, but he noticed that his leader Jaune Arc and teammate Pyrrha Nikos were both absent from the table.
"Hey...where are Pyrrha and Jaune?" the young Uchiha asks.
Nora was about to reply with a mouthful, but Ren immediately stopped her having a clear idea on where they would be at the very least. Usually in the mornings, Pyrrha and Jaune would head to the rooftops to train and while Ren was skeptical of Jaune being the leader of Team JNPR at first, he eventually got over it and saw that Jaune had potential which is what Ozpin saw as well.
"So, Ren what are you going to do? Practically no one's here because of classes being cancelled for today which is something I probably should of mentioned earlier... Sorry," Nora utters, finishing up her breakfast with Ren giving himself the mental note to ease up on the pancakes on Nora before responding.
"Since there's no classes for today, guess I can always resume my training so I can reach the full power of the Sharingan...and maybe after I'm finished, we can head out. What do you say to that?" Ren queries, Nora agreeing with a nod and a smile. "Well, follow me to the Amphitheater, then. The sooner I get my training done, the quicker we can head out, and maybe we'll end up finding ourselves with Ruby's team."
The two remove themselves from the table and head off to the training area.
{Beacon Amphitheater}
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Ren calls, forming a hand sign and two puffs of smoke appeared beside Ren, revealing themselves to be exact copies of the Huntsman.
Nora simply watched in awe as Ren got into a fighting stance against his clones and motions for them to come forward. The first clone rushed forward with a punch, which Ren caught and pushed away, but was barely able to raise the knee to block a kick from the second clone. Ren rotated for a spinning kick with his free leg, coming to contact with the clone's head and sending him back before he got caught off guard with a swift punch to the stomach by the other clone. Before the clone could follow up, Ren backed away from them to gain his distance from the two.
Ren reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small dagger and readied himself while his clones pulled out the other choice of weapons, StormFlower. The clone on the left rushed forward opening fire with his gun-and-blade hybrid weapon with Ren moving side to side to avoid the bullets and upon close contact, launched forward a swift slash across the chest of the clone as it evaporated into smoke.
"Ren, look behind you!" Nora yells out.
Turning his head around, Ren narrowly avoided being struck by several shurikens from the remaining clone. Quickly making his way towards Ren, the replica went for a forward slash on Ren with the StormFlower on his left, but Ren blocked it with his dagger. The two enter a power struggle with both blades against another until the clone would go for the first punch only to be caught by Ren who followed with a knee to the stomach and uppercut sending the clone back.
Both the clone and Ren stared down at one another as they performed several hand signs in unison before calling out, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
Two orbs of flames countered one another as smoke settled across the area before a flying dagger came through said smoke and impaled the clone in the forehead as it evaporated into smoke. Ren walked towards where the clone was and picked up his dagger and placed it away before nodding at Nora signaling that he was finished. Ren and Nora exit the Amphitheater, unaware that they actually were being watched by a mint-green haired female and by her side a gray-haired man whose arms were folded as he leaned against the wall.
"So what do you think will tell Cinder, Emerald?" the man asks.
"Well...she's definitely going to be interested in the abilities he has on his own...but that raises the question on where he learned this. And with the fact that his surname 'Uchiha' isn't one you hear very often in Remnant, Mercury," Emerald responds.
"At this point, I could care less about his last name being from some foreign area in Remnant. If he's this powerful, he could prove to be quite the challenge I'm looking for. If push comes to shove, I think I'll let Cinder have her chance first," Mercury shrugs before following Emerald as the two went off to report to Cinder on their report.

AuthorNotes
-After almost a year of not writing fanfics I've now started a new story that crosses both of my favorite shows "Naruto" and "RWBY". I'm not alone in this as my good friend "The Awesome Demon King" or for short "A1" is acting as the editor for my story. For this unfamiliar with his work, I recommend reading one of his fanfics Ed Space if your a fan of Ed, Edd n Eddy or Dead Space.
-Now I'm going to put this point across and state that, don't expect weekly updates since I am busy with my personal life and other stuff but I will try and update this story as much as I can.
