Hello and welcome to chapter 2! In this chapter we see how Jaune acts 2 years after his entire clan was killed. Will he seek revenge like Sasuke once did or will he come to terms with what happened and move on. All of these question will be answered (Probably) in this chapter. Now time for disclaimers!
I do not own RWBY or Naruto all rights go their respective owners.
Jaune will still be wearing the outfit Sasuke wore in the beginning of Shippuden and most likely will until volume 4.
Chapter 2
2 Years Later
Jaune Arc stood on a cliff overlooking what remained of the Uchiha Clan compound. There wasn't much left after he burned everything to the ground with Amaterasu. The compound, everyone that was in it at the time had all been turned to ash and all of the rubble was a hatch that went underground. The hatch led to the Uchiha Clan Vault and the stone tablet. The flames consumed all, living or dead nothing was left, not even ash. This was the power of the inextinguishable flames of Amaterasu. Once the flames have been summoned they can only be extinguished by the one who summoned the flames can put them out. Other ways of putting out the flames would be absorbing them, pushing them away with Shinra Tensei, being faster than the flames, or being to Ten-Tail's Jinchuuriki.
Jaune believed that everyone in the compound had been turned to ash by his Amaterasu he was wrong. The woman that killed his dad and grandfather had gotten away.
People had found out about the massacre that happened at the Arc compound. There were countless stories on what happened to the Arcs. No bodies were ever discovered, all that remained at the Arc compound was rubble and mass amounts of blood. Outside the compound in a trail a tattered white fang flag was found. If the media needed something else to vilify the white fang this was it. Needless to say the media was in an uproar. Now the world had even more reason to kill off the white fang. It was a good thing only a handful of people knew that Jaune was still alive. If the whole world knew he was alive he wouldn't be able to walk down the street without being hammered for interviews,and Jaune Arc was not a man who liked interviews. He didn't feel like sitting through interview after interview. So he decided to stay off the radar until he went to a combat school, preferably Beacon Academy like his Grandfather did. He took one last look at the compound before turning around and walked off.
Roman Torchwick and four of his hands head down an alley from the shadows. They stop behind Roman, who reignites his cigar without touching it and grins before walking down the road, frightening nearby citizens as they make their way to the shop. From Dust Till Dawn . Roman and his henchmen enter the shop, and didn't notice a young girl wearing a hooded red cloak in the corner of the shop, reading a weapon magazine, while listening to music.
The henchmen look around and at the Dust crystals in the display when Roman approaches the elderly shopkeeper .
Roman flicked his cigar and said "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late? One of the henchman points his gun at the shopkeeper raised his hand and stammered out" P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!" "Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money." Roman reassured him before turning to the henchmen and told them to grab the dust. Henchman 1 placed another open case on the display to the shopkeeper "Crystals. Burn. Uncut."
The shopkeeper proceeds to fill the case. Henchman 2 goes for another tube, he hears the muted This Will Be the Day song from the girl's direction, and unsheathes his sword.
Henchman 2 points his sword at her back "Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em." ( no response) "Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something !?"
He goes over here and turns around, the hood dropping to reveal a surprised Ruby Rose wearing 's motion for here to lower them.A henchman opens a case and removes one of several cylinders, which the group uses to take. Dust from the tube containers on the walls.
He goes over here and turns around, the hood dropping to reveal a surprised Ruby Rose wearing 's motion for here to lower them.
"Yes?" Ruby asked.
"I said, put your hands in the air, now!" Henchman 2 demanded.
"Are you ... robbing me?"
"Yes!"
"Ooohhh …"
Roman is waiting for his men to finish the heist when a "Hey!" and "Hyah!" are heard, and the threatening henchman flies past him. Roman calmly motions for another to handle Ruby.
Henchman 1 raised his gun and yelled "Freeze!"
Outside the shop, the henchman and Ruby crash through the window. The other men look outside as Ruby gets up and unfolds Crescent Rose into its scythe form. Roman scowls, but Ruby smiles back at them before twirling the weapon around, striking it into the ground and turning off her headphones. "Okayyy…(He turned to his remaining henchmen) Get her!"
On a nearby rooftop Jaune watches the scene unfold. "This is interesting" he said to himself. "I Probably should step in but it looks like little red had this under control. I would like to see how this turns out. Maybe little red could confirm my suspicions about Torchwicks allegiance with the woman from that night."
The henchmen head out of the shop and run at Ruby, who spins around on top of her scythe and kicks the first approaching criminal in the face. She gets Crescent Rose out of the ground and fires it off to hit another one with the butt of her weapon, sending him flying.
She fires again and brings the side down on one attacker and dodges the next's gunfire with her rifle's speed, getting close enough to knock him into the air and follow him upwards so she can beat him away to Roman's feet.
"You were worth every cent. Truly, you were." He turned to Ruby, dropping his cigar and crushing it with his cane as approaching police sirens are heard. "Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around… (He raised his cane and opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid.) ...I'm afraid this is where we part ways."
Roman unleashed a red blast at Ruby, who fired at the ground and leaped over it. When she landed and looked up, Roman isn't there, and is climbing up a ladder on a nearby building. Ruby turned to the shopkeeper and asked "You okay if I go after him?" The Shopkeeper responded with a short "Uh huh".
Before Ruby could set off a voice called out " Hey!" She turned towards to voice. The voice belonged to a teen with messy blonde hair, and blue was wearing dark blue pants, over which hangs a blue cloth that covers him from his stomach to his knees, which he secures with a purple rope belt. A sword was secured diagonally on his waist.A white long-sleeved shirt kept open at the torso and black arm guards that cover his forearms. He was also wearing a pair of black shinobi sandals.
"You don't mind if I go with you do you? Oh, I'm Jaune Arc by the way." She shook her head no and introduced herself as Ruby Rose. With introductions out of the way they both set off after Torchwick.
Roman makes it to the roof, with Ruby and Jaune right behind him. "Hey!" Ruby yelled causing Roman to turn around. Roman noticed Jaune by her, but said nothing. He muttered something that sounded like "Persistent".
Ruby and Jaune readies to fight him, but a getaway Bullhead rises up and opens the hatch to allow Roman inside. Roman turned around and held up a red Dust gem "End of the line, Red, Blondie." He throws it out at their feet and fires at them, resulting in a large explosion.
"Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Huh?" A woman in a purple cape is now in front of Ruby and Jaune, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. As they look on, Glynda Goodwitch waves her weapon and summons several streaks of purple at the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where a woman in red, her face unseen, is struggling with the controls.
"We got a Huntress!" The woman gets up and heads toward the back as Roman takes the controls. Glynda glows purple for a moment and aims another blast above the craft, resulting in a dark storm-cloud right over the jet. "The hell...?" With a flick of her wand, large jagged hail starts falling that pummels the jet and even breaks through the window, narrowly missing Roman's head.
The woman reaches the back and her arms and chest light up like fire, aiming a burst of energy at Glynda. The Huntress blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot with the enemy's raised hand. Glynda backflips out of the explosion, which destroys part of the roof, and magically gathers the shards to create a large arrow, which she throws at the craft. The fiery woman shatters the arrow with several blasts, but it reforms just in time to hit the side of the jet due to Roman's quick aerial lean.
The wreckage separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the jet, but the woman summons several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy the shards. Ruby, finally acting, reverts her scythe into its rifle form to fire at the woman, who blocks each shot and creates several blazing circles around her two opponents. Glynda telekinetically pushes Ruby and rolls herself out of the explosion's radius; looking up to see the hatch close and the craft fly away. Ruby looks at Glynda. "You're a Huntress!" She said with a pleading, awe-stricken face. "Can I have your autograph?!"
Jaune and Ruby are now sitting at table under a bright light in a dark room.
"I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger." "They started it!" "If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back... ...And a slap on the wrist." She demonstrates with her wand, which Ruby barely avoids as she gives out an "Eeek!
'That woman that was with Torchwick was the woman from that night. There is no way she works for Torchwick. So that means Torchwick works for her. I wonder if that woman works for the Queen that Grandpa told me of. It's possible, but I thought Gabriel killed her to end the war. Dammit! Why did Grandpa leave out the most important bit! Hold on. Oh Shit! She's looking at me! I haven't been listening to a word she said, i'm totally gonna die.'
"Young man, have you been listening to me?" 'Oh shit she's gonna kill me.' "What would you say if I told you I wasn't listening?" Jaune asked cautiously. 'Oh god why did I say that.' " *Sigh* normally I would scold you, but not tonight." "Sooo… why exactly am I here?" Jaune said, trying to feign ignorance. It worked.
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent back home… with a pat on the back… and a slap on the wrist."
"But... there is someone here who would like to meet both of you." She moves out of the way so a surprised Ruby and Jaune can see a man in green come through the doorway, holding a mug and a plate of cookies.
The man leaned in to look at her face "Ruby Rose… you… have silver eyes" The man told Ruby.
The man then looked at Jaune "And you Jaune… Arc you look like your father. Or would you rather call you by your actual last name ." Glynda gasped twice, once when Ozpin said Jaune's last name was Arc, the second being Jaune's actual last name being Uchiha.
Ruby sat in her seat not knowing why the Huntress from earlier gasped at Jaune's last name, and why Jaune lied about his last name. She didn't know about what happened to the Arcs nor did she know of the Uchiha.
Jaune narrowed his eyes in suspicion. How had this man figured out his real name? Could he have known of the name change the Uchiha had? But how could he know about that. Only members of the clan knew about their name change. Unless someone from the clan told him. But why would someone from the clan the man before him. Unless… yes that was it! The man knew of the name change because someone from the clan trusted the man before him. That meant whoever told him trusted the man with his life. So that meant this man could be trusted, that was good.
"Who told you?" Jaune asked him. "The only way you would know about the Uchiha Clan's name change would be if someone from the clan told you, so who was it?"
"Straight to the point huh? That's something you have in common with your father. Whenever he would ask someone anything he would skip straight to the point."
"So it was my dad who told you, I should have known."
Ozpin turned back to Ruby. "So! Where did you learn to do this?" He said, gesturing to the tablet Glynda was holding, showing Ruby's fighting.
Ruby stuttered a little but. "S-Signal Academy" "They taught you how to one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" "Well one teacher in particular." "I see…"
He put the cookies on the table in front of Ruby. She tentatively picks one up, eats it in a single bite, and then, not seeing any rebuttal, shovels the rest into her mouth.
"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow…" Ruby mumbles through her full mouth "Oh! That's my uncle!"
She then swallows and wipes her mouth, embarrassed. "Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like— Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa!" She proceeded to make some karate-style poses and noises.
"So I've noticed." He placed his cup on the table and he leaned in, then sits down opposite Ruby. "And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"
"Well... I want to be a Huntress." "You want to slay monsters?" He asked her. "Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon!" She behan talking faster and faster with her enthusiasm growing. "You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it!"
She giggles. "I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know!" She flipped out at the last part, and stared at the two with a wide, crazy smile.
Glynda and Ozpin study them . "Do you know who I am?" Ozpin asked them. Before Jaune could respond Ruby cut him off. "You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster at Beacon." Ozpin smiled "Hello."
"Nice to meet you." Ruby and Jaune chorused. "Do you both want to come to my school?" He asked them.
"More than anything." Ruby said quickly. " Of course" Jaune replied. Ozpin exchanged glances with Glynda, who showed her disapproval with a "Hmmph" before he turned back to Ruby and Jaune.
"Well, okay." Ruby smiles, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
Jaune just smiled.
Jaune picked a seat in the corner of the airship the beacon. He sat in the corner and looked at everyone else that was on the airship. He wondered where Ruby was. The people that stood out to him on the ship was a girl wearing a black bow reading a book, a girl who almost blinded him with the bright white clothing she was wearing, a boy with a magenta streak in his hair sitting next to an overly hyper girl with orange hair. The last person that stood out had red hair and green eyes, he didn't know why but she looked familiar. Maybe he saw her on a cereal box, he wasn't to sure.
He found Ruby, well the only reason he noticed her was because of the commotion her and a fellow blonde were making.
Yang Xiao Long tackled her sister in a hug aboard the large airship to Beacon, crushing the air out of her. "Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!"
"Please stop." Ruby said gasping. Yang released her sister. "But I'm so proud of you!" "Really Sis, it was nothing." "What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees."
"I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees." "What's with you? Aren't you excited?" "Of course I'm excited... I just... she sighed "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything." Yang gave her sister a one-armed hug. "But you are special."
The girls' attention is drawn to the 2-D animated newscast on Vale News Network playing nearby, talking about the robbery and showing Roman's mugshot. "The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa." Cyril, the news anchor said. The mugshot changes to Lisa Lavender, with a photo of Faunus demonstrators holding signs saying "WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!" followed by an image of the logo of a growling red wolf's head with three scratch marks. "Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted…" The news feed is cut off as a hologram of Glynda replaces it.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon!" "Who's that?" Yang asked her sister. "My name is Glynda Goodwitch." "Oh." "You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."
The hologram disappeared. "Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here!" Ruby and other students look through the glass walls at the town below. "I guess home isn't too far after all!" "Beacon's our home, now."
Jaune, who heard the entire conversation, smiled at the last statement.
'I guess Beacon is my home now as well. I wonder what will happen in the future. Only time will tell, but with people like Ruby around there won't be any dull moments.'
Chapter 2 was a fun chapter to write, I don't know why. I already know later chapters that take place in Volumes 3 and 4 will be really fun to do.
Something that I forgot to mention in the first chapter was Chakra and Aura. Over the years the Uchiha Clan lost the ability the use Chakra, but learned that Chakra had been replaced with Aura.
So basically any Jutsu or Sharingan technique uses Aura instead of Chakra. The Yata Mirror can still block any attack that uses the elements. It adapted to the Elemental attack of Remnant. For example if any type of dust is used on the Yata Mirror, it can block it. Any Elemental Semblance can be blocked by the Yata Mirror.
The people that know of the Uchiha Clan name change are Jaune, Ozpin, and Salem and her faction. Ozpin hasn't told his group of it simply because it isn't his secret to share. Qrow had heard mant rumors about the Uchiha Clan possibly changing their name from bars he visits on his may or may not know, but I won't say if she does or not.
