While this isn't my first attempt at a fic this is my first attempt using established characters instead of OCs, so I'm asking for a little patience. Now Naruto is the main character for this story but it switches POV occasionally. Jiraiya will show up sometimes but other than that I think very few Narutoverse characters will be appearing until possibly the tournament where I'm thinking of having a few familiar faces show up to be bashed in in more ways than one ( I HATE Sasuke and the pink howler monkey with a burning passion). Other than that some Naruto characters will be referenced, but not actually show up. Although a certain white eyed girl may transfer in. I'm not sure yet. I have an idea for how to do it but I'm not sure how to do it yet. I just feel that Hinata's attitude in the RWBY verse would just scream rabbit faunus. Although if she does show she won't be stuttering and passing out constantly. I think. My muse has not told me for sure yet. Also, the title will make sense eventually. Any characters that I don't describe an outfit for are wearing what they wear in canon. I don't feel like describing something that you can get a much better image of by going to the RWBY wiki.
I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR RWBY. YOU KNOW WHO DOES. I'm not even sure I own this idea, my muse is glaring at me from the corner so I don't think I do
In many stories, the hero is a great man, loved by his people and respected for his abilities and desire to help others. This is not one of those stories. This is a story of a boy, born the last of a 'cursed' clan and scorned, reviled and hated by his home. It is a story of his desire to prove himself and earn his place in the light. And what better place to bask in the light than a place called Beacon?
"Maybe this place will be different. Eh, can't be worse than Atlas. Stupid shithole." The speaker, Naruto Uzumaki, was a boy looking to be around 17, was on a large transport Bullhead on his way to his new home for the next four years if all went well. He rather tall, being 6'5" with an extra 3 inches from his black tipped fox ears that stuck out of his spiky yellow-gold hair. His hair framed a face while somewhat handsome had only two sets of truly distinguishing marks: a pair of bright cerulean eyes and six whisker marks with three on each cheek. He was wearing a black muscle shirt with an orange spiral design over the heart and a larger one on his back made of what looked like nine orange fox tails with blood red tips. His hands were protected by a pair of black fingerless gloves with metal plates on the back of the hand. They went up about 5 inches on his arm with more layered plates on the outside of his forearm. Below that was a pair of black cargo pants with a hole cut in the back for his four foot long tail of gold fur with a black tip and a pair of black combat boots with orange laces. Over all this and completing his outfit was a black trench coat with the same spiral design from the back of his shirt.
Looking out the window of the Bullhead he could see Beacon Academy, one of the most prestigious Hunter academies in the world. It looked more like a castle than a school, but then he supposed that fit since it was essentially a training school for soldiers against the Grimm. Coming out of his musing about what would be his new home, he decided to look over his soon to be classmates. Most were nothing special but he could see several times that stood out. Towards the front of the Bullhead another blond boy was throwing up into a trashcan rather loudly. He looked like he might be somewhat tall if he wasn't hunched over a trashcan. Other than that and the fact that he was one of the only ones wearing armor there looked to be nothing special about him. Edging away from the airsick blond were two girls one a rather busty blond with very long, well kept wavy hair. The other had black hair with red tips and a red cape, and looked very well developed considering the fact that she also looked several years younger than everyone else on the Bullhead. Other than those three the only person who interested him was a cute cat faunus that he assumed was hiding that fact considering the occasional twitch he could see from the black bow covering her ears. Those four had larger aura reserves than most of the others and he assumed they would most likely be ones to look for if the rumors he had heard about teams were true. Though it was that the boy's aura felt muted, like he was either suppressing it a great deal, which would mean that his already large reserves truly monstrous or that he had never activated he aura. But what kind of idiot joins Beacon before even activating his aura? So Naruto simply assumed that his fellow blond was like himself suppressing his aura to levels that wouldn't stand out to any other sensors. He knew that his own suppressed reserves felt like they were simply very large instead of their true size, which were large enough to dwarf anyone else on the Bullhead.
Deciding that if he had to be around these people for the foreseeable future he may as well get introductions out of the way and so made his way over to his fellow faunus. Stopping next to her he stood next the empty seat next to her before he spoke up.
"This seat taken?"
Blake Belladonna was not having the best flight. While she didn't mind flying normally, her sense of smell was currently being overloaded with the smell of the sick boy at the front of the bullhead. So instead of allowing herself to be made nauseous because of the smell she buried herself in a book hoping to distract her attention. And now, just when she had managed to block it from her mind she gets distracted by someone who for some reason decided to sit next to her instead of somewhere else on the transport. But, looking up she was pleasantly surprised to find another faunus.
"No, go ahead." While sitting with an open faunus could draw attention to herself that she didn't want, that didn't mean she would be rude to one just to avoid it.
"Thanks, always do prefer to sit with a pretty girl on a long flight to sitting alone. Good company is always appreciated, isn't that right Neko-chan?" Though most of his statement had been at a normal volume he had ended in a low enough voice that only with her enhanced hearing could she hear him.
"My name is Blake and I would prefer certain information not become public. I'm not ashamed of what I am but I'd rather not deal with idiots if I can help it." Her response while tense was in an equally low voice. He chuckled before nodding and reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small vial of red liquid and handing it to her as he spoke.
"Name's Naruto and I understand completely. Would think of doing something similar but the tail is kinda hard to hide. Here, smell this though. It should deaden your sense of smell a bit for about half an hour. You've started to look a little green ever since Barfboy started to try and get his insides on the outside. Figured you might appreciate the help."
Uncorking the vial she was nearly overwhelmed by am extremely spicy scent that as promised overwhelmed her sense of smell before fading and leaving her unable to smell anything. Despite the fact that her eyes were now watering she thanked Naruto before closing her book proceeding to make small talk with the open faunus for remainder of the trip. Leaving the bullhead she was confident as they separated that she would have at least one new friend who wouldn't judge her if her one of her secrets got out.
Being one of the last ones off the bullhead due to understanding that Blake wanted to conceal her race from public knowledge and that it would be difficult to do so while being grouped with an open faunus like himself, Naruto arrived just in time to see the younger girl with the red cape sneeze in a cloud of Dust that was created by a girl he could only describe as pale and bitchy from his first impression, waving a container of said Dust under the poor girl's nose. After the following explosion and meltdown Naruto was going to help but saw that Blake was going to interrupt the Ice Queen. Figuring that she had it covered, he just watched on, amused by the now introduced Weiss Schnee's reaction to some uncomfortable fact's about the family business. Although judging from her reaction there may be some hope for SDC's future relations with faunus if her anger with what seemed to be a hint of shame were anything to go by. Seeing the red cloaked girl seem to collapse in on herself after Weiss and Blake had left he walked up to introduce himself.
Ruby Rose was distraught. She'd been at Beacon for less than five minutes and she had already made enemies with the heiress of SDC by blowing up herself, the heiress and the heiress's luggage. Not the best first impression with her new classmates. Especially when added to the fact she was entering Beacon two years early which meant everyone was even less likely to take her seriously.
Before she could wallow any longer a black gloved hand appeared in front of her.
"You alright, little Red? You'd think the heiress of SDC would know not to wave a loose bottle of Dust in someone's nose. Pretty dumb if you ask me." Taking the stranger's hand as he helped her up Ruby couldn't help cheering up a little at the new guy's words. "My name's Naruto, how 'bout you Red? And sorry but I gotta agree with Ice queen one thing, you do seem a bit young to be here. How'd you get in early?"
Sorting through the rapid speech Ruby responded while dusting herself off after standing. "I'm Ruby Rose and no I don't mind, I got scouted out of Signal two years early." She went with what Professor Ozpin told her to say if anyone asked. It was quicker than the long version. Before Naruto could respond they were interrupted by a new voice.
"That's cool. I'm Jaune. Nice to meet you!"
"Good to meet you too Barfboy." Naruto responded making Ruby chuckle while Jaune
sulked a bit.
"All I'm saying is that airsickness is a much more common problem than people realize." Jaune stated while the three new friends were walking along a path in Beacon. " I'm far from the only one who gets sick."
"Yeah, Jaune but most people who do carry pills for that. That's probably why you were the only one redecorating floor of the bullhead." Naruto laughed at his new friends expense.
Seeking to change the subject both for the sake of Jaune and her stomach, Ruby pulled out her weapon, a scythe that was almost twice her size, causing Jaune to flinch away while Naruto just looked impressed that she could wield such a large weapon. "So I've got my baby Crescent Rose, how bout you guys?" Naruto motioned to Jaune who was still staring at Crescent Rose dumbstruck.
"What is that?"
"Crescent Rose is a collapsible Sniper-Scythe." Seeing that Jaune still looked a bit
confused she simplified it. "It's a scythe that's also a gun."
"Oh... Cool! I've got umm... These." He pulled unsheathed his sword as he pulled out a collapsible shield, causing Ruby to stare.
"What do they do?"
"Well umm... The sword cuts things and the shield can collapse down when I get tired of holding it."
"But wouldn't it still weigh the same amount?" Ruby pointed out as Jaune looked downcast.
"Yes, yes it does."
"Well I admit I may have gone a bit overboard designing my baby." Ruby tried to make Jaune feel better while looking fondly at her scythe and petting it. Naruto thought it looked like she was treating it like a favorite pet.
"Wait you mean you built that thing?"
"Yeah all Signal students build their own weapons. How'd you get yours?"
"Well its a hand me down. My great-great-great-grandfather used it in the war." Jaune rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Well I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics now a days." Ruby claimed, trying to make Jaune feel better, before turning to her other new friend. "What about you, Naruto, what do you have?"
"Well, I actually have a couple weapons but I guess I can show off one right now." As he spoke he reached in his trench coat before his hand came back out holding the handle of a Tetsubo that kept expanding as more of it came out from under the coat to the point where it was clear that the 7 foot studded war club could not have fit under the coat without being obvious. "Say hello to Oni no Ikari, a seven foot, 90lb. extendable tetsubo with a metal core under quebracho wood sheathing with studs that go through and connect to the center." Ruby looked somewhat impressed with the massive weapon and Jaune looked intimidated by the club that was larger than any of them were tall. "A few years ago a friend of mine bet me that I couldn't make a weapon any more blunt and unsubtle than I was at the time so I made this. I didn't get the joke until after I finish making it but it turned out pretty well." After talking he put the massive weapon back under his coat where it promptly disappeared, much to Jaune's confusion. "So where are we headed anyway?"
Hearing the question both Jaune and Ruby froze and looked at each other before pointing and speaking at the same time. "I don't know I was following Jaune/Ruby."
Naruto just face palmed and chuckled. "Lovely."
"Ruby! Come here I saved you a spot!" Coming into the meeting area for first year orientation the three were immediately greeted with a call from the blonde that Naruto had seen ruby with back on the bullhead. Hearing her ruby grabbed Naruto's arm and started dragging him with her.
"Bye Jaune! Come on Naruto you can meet my sister! Hey Yang this is Naruto! He's nice and doesn't ditch people unlike someone. He helped me after I exploded after you ditched me." Ruby introduced Naruto as she pouted and he waved at the newly introduced Yang.
"Thanks for looking out for my baby sister Foxy. But really Rubes, you exploded over me leaving you alone for a little while? It wasn't really that bad was it?"
"No, I mean I literally exploded! I tripped over some crabby girls luggage and then she was yelling and waving a dust vial and I sneezed and then we exploded and there was fire and ice and I think maybe a little lightning, and then she kept yelling and I just wanted her to stop yelling and-"
"YOU!" Ruby jumped in shock away as an angry Weiss interrupted her, landing in Naruto's arms as he caught her.
"-oh god its happening again." Ruby, realizing who was yelling at her hid her face in her hands.
"Oh god you really exploded didn't you." Yang deadpanned as she face palmed, realizing that her socially awkward sister wasn't making any of it up.
Naruto, figuring this would be a good time to clear the air between the angry heiress and the girl currently hiding in his arms decided to interject. "Nope, it's all true but most of it wasn't really her fault. She got knocked over by a couple other students and fell over Weiss' bags, knocking a few over. The heiress, badly overreacting, pulled out one of her Dust vials from a secure Dust case and began waving it under your sisters nose causing her to sneeze and explode. Pretty avoidable and mostly Weiss' fault."
Yang took the opportunity to try to make amends. "Great so how about we agree to all bee a bit more careful and put it behind us so we can all be friends?"
"Yeah and we can hang out!" Ruby seeing that she had support joined the conversation from her perch.
"Great Idea! And then we can go get out and get our nails done and talk about boys like tall blonde and fuzzy!" She replied, pointing at Naruto, who Ruby finally realized was holding her, causing the girl to blush and get out of his arms before responding.
"Really?"
"No." Weiss deadpanned before walking away.
"Well, that coulda gone better." Yang and Ruby just nodded their agreement.
Alright theres ch1 so please review with any suggestions. Not sure on a pairing or if there will be any citrus content but if there is it wont be for a while. I have a few ideas for other weapons but feel free to make suggestions. Naruto may seem somewhat oc but that will be explained, as will any other questions that were deliberately raised (how'd he pull a 7ft club out from under his coat?). His semblance I already have planned so I don't need suggestions on that but if I do decide to bring in other Narutoverse characters I will being taking suggestion for their Semblances and weapons.
