Well damn…I did not expect this to be a hit. Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it. Now to confirm a few things, yes Naruto is a Faunus, and yes the weapon is from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I think I gave both enough hints for easy recognition. But just wondering, what gave the weapon's origin away besides it being published by Shōnen Jump?

Disclaimer: first chapter

Chapter 1: Sweep the Halls of Beacon

It had been a week after the interview. And over the duration of it, Naruto explored the campus as if it were a maze. Certainly should be since the North, South, East, and West wings of the campus are mini labyrinths of classrooms, stairwells, amphitheaters, and arenas. Makes sense to have many of the last item since this place is a school for monster slaying and crimefighting. His favorite spot was any rooftop that he could get onto to watch the city of Vale. Being placed on top of a rather tall cliffside, Beacon Academy easily stood above the nearby city. The added height of the various building added to the angle he could see the city in.

Currently he saw the view of the city inside a viewing platform underneath the airship he was on. The aerial view captured Vale's placid appearance. The lack of anything akin to a skyscraper kept the city from looking…chaotic in a sense. True there were many spires that were a part of a rooftop. The architecture had gone way back in the times of the warring kingdoms. Not that Naruto truly knew of the history of Remnant or Vale itself. All he thought was how pretty it was to see the city in this kind of view. That and he thought how awesome it would be to fly on his own will. How he'd like to feel the air caressing his face as he took in the sights from the new vantage point up above. To be one with the sky…

Oh how he yearned the freedom to accomplish that childish ambition.

His face crept up into a smile as his innocent thought roamed his mind. Onward, his mind recollected a saying Granny Lupa told him as a child. 'Right when you feel like you will die is when you will be at your strongest. Your flame will burn at its brightest before it extinguishes.'He stared at his right hand, where a silver ring-like accessory with the image of a flame encompassed a blue crystal. An X was over the crystal, and bore the word "Famiglia" or "Family" on it on one of the lines. The ring was extended from the base of the middle finger to the first joint. At the tapered end of the ring, a chain connected a smaller ring fashioned onto his pinky.

This was its unawakened form. He had to recite the chant Granny told him to activate it into its gauntlet form. That much he got, but anything further than that, he could not get it to work. "Granny Lupa said this thing would spout a bunch of fire once its full potential is needed. When will I need to release its flames?" He wondered lowly. At the moment, they were just fancy boxing gloves to him.

"Blrg!" A voice grunted beside him. Naruto stared at the source of the voice, a young man with unkempt, straight blond hair. His attire could be described as a squire, who lacked the proper armor coverage on his sides, legs, arms, and head. The white breastplate would be easily torn to shreds by a Grimm that got a good hit in. In fact, the young man didn't fit the bill as a Huntsman in Naruto's eyes. Huntsmen and Huntresses were respectable, noble, and carried a powerful air around them.

This guy just…felt disappointing. The little girl in the red cloak, who's being smothered by a older blonde, had a more powerful quality in her than this wimpy guy next to him. But if the Headmaster allowed it, he shouldn't question it. In fact he should question the guy's status. "Yo…you all right?"

The guy next to him reeled in his discomfort to dissuade Naruto from helping. "I'm…fine." The guy weakly answered.

"Motion sickness?" A nod. "Figures." Naruto shuffled around his back pocket, and handed the guy a barf bag. "I don't need you making more work for me before the school year has started." The motion sick young man gladly took the bag, and unloaded his breakfast inside it. It kept going for a little more than half a minute before the guy finished. Naruto quickly grabbed the bag, sealed it, and chucked it into the trash. Next he handed the newly relieved student with a mint-flavored gum.

"Thanks."

"No prob."

"You say work." The guy restated. "You're not a student?"

"Wow…not even a name first? Classy…" Naruto sassed. The other blond cringed at his words.

The guy laughed it off unconvincingly. "Sorry. My name's Jaune Arc. Yours?" He put out a hand to shake.

"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto replied just as he shook Jaune's hand. The two let go, and Naruto replied to Jaune's earlier question. "And yes I'm not a student. Some people aren't that lucky to have the money to pay all four years of it. And some people aren't that skilled to even get in here. Personally, I'm here as a janitor because I need the money. I don't have the skills to get in this place as a student."

"Oh…" Jaune was a bit stunned by the amount of information just shot back at him. "That's…"

"Stupid. I know." Naruto interrupted. "I mean I'm going to one of the fanciest schools for combat, and I'm going there…as a janitor."

"If you say it like that, it does sound strange." Jaune remarked. "I say you should be proud to step foot on that Academy."

Naruto scoffed. "Big talk coming from a guy who can't hold his breakfast before even stepping on Beacon's walkway." Jaune recoiled at the blunt blow to his ego. The sudden reaction got Naruto to snicker a little. "Hey…at least no one saw it right? No one can call you Vomit-Boy."

"I sure hope not."

Naruto placed a reassuring hand on Jaune's hunched shoulders. "You'll be fine." He said. "If you got in to Beacon, then that means you've got to be awesome at fighting."

"I-I am!" Jaune stuttered. "N-Nothing to worry about over here! My sword and shield skills will make me famous one day. Just you wait and see!" Naruto sighed lowly. Jaune couldn't be any more of a liar than he is right now. Jaune's poker face needed work. He had so many tells just from that one reply alone: stiffening body, stuttering, frenzied eye movement, cracked voice, etc. Not that he'd tell him. Jaune himself would eventually pay for his lie.

"Yeah, yeah…" Naruto waved it off. "Go practice your lady killer suave on some of the girls here. It would be a great time waster for you." Jaune looked at the various femme fatales aboard the observation deck, and gulped. Their weapons looked really deadly.

"Nah…I can do that at a later time."

Naruto crossed his arms, and raised an eyebrow. How could he not want to ask out any of the girls here?! They were gorgeous! They were simply amazing! It's as if they were those Amazons Granny Lupa told him of as a toddler. This guy- he cut himself off. "Hn…suit yourself. With the way you're starting off, your love life is going to be frustrating to look at."

"Eh?"

"Nothing."

Their airship had finally landed and soon, Naruto was out of there. He headed for the main walkway that led to the Academy's plaza. While not exactly in a hurry, he was trying to get away from the eventual mob of freshmen. Unfortunately, he miscalculated how eager the new students were, and was hounded from all directions as one by one, students rushed deeper into the campus. A body crashed directly behind him. It was quite soft. His cheeks flared red when he realized what it was. He turned around, and faced himself with that blonde in the observation deck. She was quite a looker. She was a bit shorter than him, who was an even six feet tall.

She wears a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow low-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a burning heart. Her upper body is quite filled out, and Naruto could not help but take a rather quick glance at the girl's cleavage. White knight he may have been taught as a kid, but he's still a hormonal teen!

Naruto recollected himself, and mused if the burning heart was her emblem. So far he saw an image that represented a different person. Why were there individual emblems? Some sort of extra identification perhaps? Naruto had no idea except for the nice addition it adds to clothing or weapons.

The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. On the sides of the cuffs, there are two small golden buttons. She wears a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner-like object. The same burning heart crest appears on this banner, except golden in color. She wears black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back. Her midriff is quite distracting as it shows her generous hips. Over the short shorts but under the belt is a white asymmetrical back skirt. On her neck was an orange infinity scarf.

Naruto approved of the color. Orange is an awesome color.

She wears brown knee-high platform boots that appear to be made of leather, with orange socks of different lengths. Her left leg also has a gray bandanna-like object wrapped around the top of her boot. She wears fingerless black gloves underneath her weapons, which resemble two yellow mechanized gauntlets with a black design.

By the way, this happened within the span of three seconds. The girl had yet to apologize, not that Naruto would notice it since he was admiring her form in a normal, non-perverted way.

"My bad!" She apologized informally. "I followed the crowd to get away from my little sis for a bit. Didn't think I'd run directly into someone." Her lilac eyes shone. Naruto shivered a little. It almost felt nostalgic to see that eye color.

"It's no problem." He said with a flashy smile. He quickly turned around, and headed off in another direction entirely. "You should hurry to the amphitheater. The assembly will start shortly."

Yang stood there dumbfounded. Her mind was more focused on the guy, who was in her honest opinion as the perfect catch ever. Blond locks of untamed madness that lead to a chiseled face, a nice eyes of baby blue eyes, and cool and cute marks on his cheeks. That and a sculpted torso underneath that loose, black tank top. Yang may have not seen much, she was pretty sure that the guy's pecs could sharpen the dullest knife. Finally… "That is a mighty and firm one you got…" She purred sweetly while staring at Naruto's retreating butt. "I'll see you soon, lady killer." Let it be known that Yang Xiao Long never took a passing pretty face too seriously. Never. Naruto somehow did the opposite. No doubt he doesn't even know what the girl thought of him. Meh. Not like it will bite him in the ass sooner or later.

Seconds later, Naruto realized he walked in a circle, and managed to get near the landing area of the airship he rode on. "Eh? How did I get here?"

"What are you doing?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?!"

Well that did not sound good. Naruto looked for the irritated girl, and found himself staring at a fallen girl, the one in the red cloak from earlier, and another girl in white.

The girl in white wears a extremely pale blue bolero jacket over a similarly colored thigh-length dress that ends in a combat skirt with a piece of black lace making up the neckline of the dress. The inside of the bolero is red and the sleeves turn blue as they get closer to her wrists. The back of the bolero displays an emblem, which bears a resemblance to a snowflake. Her hair is in an asymmetrical ponytail off to the right and had a little tiara over the ponytail. Her other accessories are a pair of rectangular earrings and a silver necklace. On her left was a rapier tied to her waist.

The other girl has her gigantic, hooded, red cloak. Primarily in a black attire, the girl also wears a black blouse with a corset on her waist and tightened by red laces on the corset. On her waist is a gray belt that had the image of a silver rose to her right, and an ammo pouch even further to the right. She wears a black combat skirt trimmed with a bright red color. Her black stockings has a shade of skin color on it since it was probably the only layer she has on her legs aside from the obvious one between them: panties. Her black combat boots has a red trim up top, red laces and soles to finish off the color scheme.

Naruto realized something… Was there- was there a color scheme going on around here?! Almost every single person he had seen so far stayed true to mostly one color and a few others to keep it different. Just what has the world come to where a person's appearance is defined by the color scheme one wears?!

Aside from the mental dilemma, the girl in white, snatched a briefcase handed over by the one in red, and inspected its contents. "This is Dust, mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry." The girl in red failed to say anything in time. "What are you, brain dead?" The girl in white grabbed a vial of red Dust, and slammed the case shut. Particles of blue and red stirred in the air as the rude teen shook her vial. "Dust. Fire, water, lightning, energy? Are you even listening to me?" Not really. Naruto could clearly see that the younger girl had more important things occupying her time.

'Great…another person about to make my job harder than what it's supposed to be.' Naruto dashed in, and turned the girl in red the opposite way just in time to sneeze away from the Dust. 'Made it.' He thought happily. "Hey, princess. What gives? You can't just start yelling at people without asking for their side of the story."

"And who are you to ask so rudely?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, a janitor. Personally, I don't want to start off my first day on the job cleaning up your mess, and I highly doubt you want to start off your year being reported vandalizing school property with an explosive material. If you don't seal that vial of Dust right now, it's likely that one of us will explode literally or whatever that other word is." Naruto replied angrily. The girl stared all around her, and saw the floating particles around them. Embarrassed by her actions, she quickly collected her belongings, and went deeper into campus. "Feh! Not even an apology for being rude. Hey, red." He tapped the remaining girl's shoulder. "You good?"

"Huh? Uh yeah." The girl turned around. "Thanks. My name is Ruby Rose." She greeted.

"Naruto." Naruto introduced himself. "Now I don't want be rude…but you gotta go to the amphitheater down the walkway past the doors in front of you. The assembly is about to start, and-" He checked the time on the nearby clock post. "Crap I'm late!" Naruto dashed off off in another direction completely opposite of the campus entrance, and left a confused Ruby by herself.

The sun had set, and Naruto diligently finished his job sweeping the cafeteria. The large room took him a good three hours to sweep, another hour to wipe off tables, two to pick up trash and clean leftover kitchen wares. Not to say that he was the only janitor around, but it seemed like he did more work. The others were simply cleaning their designated area while Naruto himself wandered to another spot to clean. To say it was productive was a sore understatement. He finished the connecting hallways, cleaned restrooms, locker rooms, the plaza, and some few more locations that he could not care to mention because he was tired. He left the polishing to the automatons that roam at night to pick off any unseen specks of trash. He placed his sweeper, bucket, and various cleaning tools off in one of the many janitor closets on campus.

He walked on and on, hoping to reach his room without his legs buckling from the day of work. He went from the West wing to the East, a fifteen minute walk from the previous building to his room in the East wing. He entered the rather large building and walked up one of the many staircases to reach his room. A skylight shone one of the moons down on his body. "The night sky looks so peaceful again…" He stopped to bask in moon's rays. A smile lit his face. "Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to try one more time." He was on the third floor; there's a nearby door to access the balcony. Though he needed to be stealthy since the freshmen were sleeping nearby behind the glass before the balcony he planned to use.

Blake Belladonna's golden eyes snapped open when she heard a nearby door squeak. Silently, she rose up to find out the source of the noise. She used her Faunus ears to listen closely. Footsteps on the balcony. Blake tiptoed her way to the balcony to find out who disrupted her sleep. When she got there, she saw a blond sit on the stone rail. The blond said something that she recognized like any veteran White Fang member did.

"Fiamma iridescente, pulire tutto." The blond's hands lit up like fire. The intense light forced her to close her eyes to not damage them. Moments later, the flames died out to show a red gauntlet that she was very familiar with since she idolized the first leader of the White Fang.

"Cielo Fiamma…" Blake muttered in surprise. "It's not possible... Why does it still exist?"

And that's it for this one. The amount of support for this just motivated me to pump out the next chapter. As you can see, this is more of a how Naruto starts off his interactions with some of the cast. Particularly Team RWBY. Though I doubt Blake's piece is considered interaction. Meh, what to do.

So review, follow, favorite, I don't care.

This is Azure, signing off.
