The Original Grimm
By: windstorm16
Betrayed by those he thought to trust, left to die broken and alone, risen as a monster. The time has come for the Original Grimm to return.
Hello all Storm here with the remake of The First Grimm, with more details, more history, more excitement! I hope you all like this as much as the first version. So without further ado I give you The Original Grimm.
I own nothing
Naruto breathed heavily but still managed a grin. He'd done it he Naruto Uzumaki, the deadlast, defeated Sasuke Uchiha.
Looking at the unconscious form of his teammate, Naruto laughed a little, Sasuke had deserted the village planning to go to Orochimaru, a missing-nin from Konoha, to gain more to kill his brother Itachi Uchiha. The Godaime Hokage Tsunade Senju had sent a five-man retrieval team, consisting of Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka, Neji Hyuga, and Naruto Uzumaki, to bring Sasuke back.
During the chase the they encountered Orochimaru's elite Sound Four with each member of the retrieval team staying back while the rest went ahead until only Naruto remained to capture Sasuke. It ended with the two former teammates fighting each other in the Valley of the End, with Sasuke accessing the Second Stage of his Curse Mark and Naruto using one tail of the Kyuubi's chakra.
In the end, Naruto managed to land a solid punch to Sasuke's face knocking him out.
'I did it, I kept my promise to Sakura. Maybe she'll finally go out with me!' Thought Naruto in happiness about to pick Sasuke up and drag him back when something that shocked, angered, and horrified Naruto.
Naruto felt a striking pain in his chest, as he coughed up blood, looking down Naruto's eyes widened in shock and horror, stabbing him through the heart was a lightning encased hand. Weakly turning his head Naruto saw his supposed 'sensei' Kakashi Hatake glaring at him with his sharingan revealed.
"K-Kakashi-s-s-sensei, why?" asked Naruto in despair and hurt that his own sensei would literally stab him in the back.
"Because you're a demon." Kakashi sneered yanking his arm out of Naruto
Naruto fell to his knees shocked his sensei- no that Hatake was like everyone else, seeing him as nothing but a demon.
"So, your just like everyone else." Said Naruto weakly he'd already been stabbed by Sasuke's Chidori three time he doubts he'll survive a fourth vastly more powerful version.
"Silence you monster! You don't get to talk after everything you've done!" shouted Kakashi punching Naruto in the face knocking him down
"Even if you kill me Baa-chan and Pervy Sage will punish you for it." Naruto said thinking they'd defend him still. To Naruto's surprise and dread Kakashi laughed mockingly at him
"Who do you think gave me the order." Said Kakashi, much to Naruto's horror
"That's right the Hokage and Jiraiya ordered me to kill you. Though even if they didn't tell me to I still would have, for daring to injure my student and the last Uchiha!" Kakashi yelled kicking Naruto's downed form
Naruto felt tears well in his eyes, he though Jiraiya and Tsunade cared about him, but no they're no different from the other villagers.
"Your parents would be so disappointed at the failure their son had become." Sneered Kakashi, while Naruto stared at him shock
"That's right I knew your parents. Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, that's right your father was the Yondaime Hokage." Kakashi mocked before stomping on Naruto's face
"He was also my sensei, and he's dead because of you Kyuubi brat!" shouted Kakashi breaking several of Naruto's ribs while he felt them puncture his lungs.
"They must be rolling in their graves at having you as a son. I bet they're grateful they died so they didn't have ever see you again." Kakashi said before picking Sasuke up
"Now go back where you belong demon, in hell!" shouted Kakashi kicking Naruto's body into the river before jumping away back to Konoha
Naruto felt nothing but pain, despair, loneliness, anger, rage, and sadness. It was all a lie no one ever cared about him, they all saw him as a demon, a monster. He was alone, dying and betrayed by those he thought he could trust.
'Is this it, is this how I die, alone. Always alone.' Naruto thought as he felt water filling his punctured lungs his life slipping away.
*Mindscape*
Kurama, The Kyuubi no Kitsune the strongest Tailed Beast, a fragment of the titanic Jubi, and a creation of the Sage of Six Paths. Kurama had never felt so tired, so weak, his eyes felt heavy, he couldn't even feel the energy to be angry at the brat for dying or curse that damned Yondaime for sealing him yet again.
"Hn, so this is how die. Heh, if the others could see me now, the 'mighty' Kyuubi a being of pure hatred, killed because of humans misplaced hatred, Shukaku would laugh at the irony." Kurama said give a weak chuckle feeling the darkness begin to surround him
"Old Man Six Paths, you were wrong. Peace is nothing but an illusion that could never be achieved. Not with these greedy, selfish creatures, all they know is war and hatred." Said Kurama
Just then he saw something, a pulsing black tar like substance taking hold of his dying host, the sight made Kurama give a weak dark grin.
"HEHEHEHE. This kid, even dying still manages to impress me. You were the one the old man spoke of, you'll bring peace to this world… peace of the grave. I guess I can give you a hand one more time, from one monster to another." Kurama channeled what was left of his chakra into the black tar giving it a red glow before collapsed with a tired grin
"Give them hell Naruto Uzumaki." Said Kurama as he laid down his eyes slowly closing his body beginning to fade away
'Hashirama, Mito, Kushina, Namikaze you were all fools. You should have just let me go Hashirama, this all started because of you, and now this world will end because of you. I just wish, I could have lived long enough to see it end.' Thought Kurama feeling tired, so tired.
With that last thought the mighty Kyuubi no Kitsune faded from existence, finding comfort that the Age of Shinobi was about to meet its end.
*Real World-night time*
The Valley of the End was silent, no creature dared to move all feeling something was close to happening, when they heard.
Bah-Dum
Bah-Dum
Bah-Dum
BAH-DUM
BAH-DUM
It was faint but they heard it, a heartbeat coming from the bottom of the river. Several animals approached carefully, before they all jumped when a pillar of pure darkness shot out of the ground into the sky. From the pillar, black clouds emerged covering the sky, soon black tar fell from the clouds like rain covering the ground.
Different animals approached the black tar substance, including wolves, bears, snakes, crows and ravens, lions, eagles, boars, lizards, gorillas, bats, and scorpions. The creatures sniffed it hesitantly before licking the substance.
The affects were instantaneous, the creature's whimpered and howled in pain as their bodies began mutating all growing in size, turning black as night, gaining bone plating and spikes with red designs their eyes turning reddish-yellow. The mutated animals soon snarled and growled at the power coursing through them before they all turned to the river and bowed low.
From the river, a sickly pale white hand with black razor sharp claws emerged from the icy depths, grabbing onto the river bank pulling itself out. Rising from the water was a male teen with sickly pale white skin with jagged black cracks covering his entire body, shaggy, wild, spiky ebony hair, elongated canines, jagged whisker marks on each cheek, black crack like formations around the eyes. The teen was also stark naked until the surrounding darkness wrapped around him forming pants to hide his decency.
The teens eyes snapped open showing blood red eyes with slit pupils and midnight black sclera's. The newly transformed Naruto Uzumaki looked around at the gathered creature's seeing several hybrids of regular animals, along with multiple giant snakes half black and half white connected in the middle with some merging together forming hydra like creature's, creatures with a lion's body but the wings and head of eagles, flying ones that resembled ghosts, and dozens of large dragons varying in size with huge bat-like wings.
Naruto looked at them all with malevolent, evil red eyes, before gave a cold smile.
"Tear this world ASUNDER!" Roared Naruto as all the creatures roared in agreement with their creator and master.
*Timeskip-six years*
It came before anyone could react, it started out small, towns being overrun, the people being massacred, no one thinking anything of it merely bandits. Then villages began being destroyed, this worried people but still no one thought it was anything to worry about.
Until one day small Hidden Villages began being destroyed, this set people on edge as towns and villages being destroyed isn't that worrisome, but when Ninja Villages begin people begin to worry. The Great Villages sent out spies to find out about this mysterious threat, the spies never returned. One by one Hidden Villages began falling first Taki, Yuki, Hoshi, Kusa, and Ame soon after Countries began falling Iron, Moon, Sound, and Sky.
But what had everyone terrified was when one of the Great Villages was destroyed, this had everyone scared. Accusations were thrown, blame was placed, it wasn't long until the remaining Four Great Villages went to war with each other with Kumo and Iwa allying with each other against Kiri and Konoha.
Tensions increased as Jinchuuriki began vanishing, along with their Tailed Beasts, this lead to all villages becoming distrustful of each other breaking any alliances with any foreign countries. Soon after Iwa was destroyed, followed by Kiri, then Kumo, it wasn't long until the only remaining civilization was Konoha.
*Konoha-Hokage's Office*
Tsunade Senju had seen better days, her eyes had bags under them, her hair was tattered, and her hands were constantly shaking. The entire world was going to hell, villages being destroyed, people being massacred by the billions, and all the Jinchuuriki and Tailed Beasts.
At the thought of Jinchuuriki Tsunade clenched her fists in anger, all this started when that damn demon brat went to retrieve the Uchiha, she didn't know how but she knew he was responsible for all this. If Tsunade was in the right mind she would have realized how foolish that sounded since Naruto Uzumaki was considered, but the entire village had been on edge and all blaming Naruto for all their current problems.
Tsunade had immediately recalled all her ninja, what few were still left alive from the war, after Iwa was destroyed, her paranoia only increasing when the other two Hidden Villages were destroyed, at first she thought it was Akatsuki until they found the desecrated remains of all the Akatsuki members strung up in front of what used to be Ame, even the supposedly unkillable Hidan was dead his head having been ground to dust.
This angered one Sasuke Uchiha at being denied the chance to kill Itachi, the council managed to convince to repopulate his clan and gave him any woman he wanted.
This made people believe that the 'all-powerful' Uchiha clan would protect them from this mysterious enemy, that hope was shaken when the mutilated corpse of Jiraiya was found hanging from the Gate with a message carved into his chest.
Get ready to beg Konoha
Suddenly Tsunade heard several loud roars, looking out the window her eyes widened in horror at seeing dozens of massive black dragons approaching the village along with an army of millions of black creatures.
The dragons, along with giant ravens, swooped down the dragons burning the village and people with black fire and black lightning, and the ravens launching razor sharp feather's tearing through people like paper.
Shinobi and Kunoichi tried fighting the monster's off but jutsu were useless as the creatures seemed to absorb any jutsu and send it straight back even stronger, taijutsu was useless as they were just torn apart, and genjutsu was ineffective as the creatures seemed to be able to sense people through the illusions.
Jumping out her window Tsunade punched one of the wolf looking creatures through a building, this got cheers from the remaining ninja, though their cheers immediately died when the creature exited the wall looking more pissed off than hurt before roaring at Tsunade in rage.
The creatures overwhelmed the remaining ninja all of them using all their chakra on jutsu in the hope to destroy the monsters. Even Tsunade began tiring having resorted to using her Creation Rebirth though it didn't help as their seemed to be no end to the monsters.
She was overwhelmed but was shocked when instead of killing her the creatures dragged her to the center of the village where she saw other's pinned down Teams seven, eight, nine, and ten were held down with Sasuke demanding he be released because he was an Uchiha. Afterwards a large black elephant approached them with a black throne perched on top of it, sitting in the throne was a man wearing black pixie boots, black pants, and a long black coat with a hood pulled up but the restrained ninja could still see glowing red eyes looking at them with absolute hatred and disgust.
"WHO ARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU ATTACK AND UCHIHA YOU WORTHLESS TRASH-" Sasuke was cut off when his head was slammed into the ground with a loud crack as the wolf prepared to end his life ignoring the shouts of the others.
The wolf stopped when the man on the thrones raised his hand stopping it, pulling Sasuke back up showing blood dripping from his head. They all fell silent as the man raised his right hand pointing at the Hokage Mountain, all those who knew paled as a dark purple ball formed at the man's fingertip before he launched it at the mountain. Upon contact the ball exploded reducing the entire mountain to rubble, much to the horror of the ninja.
"I always hated that mountain." The man spoke, his voice sounding vaguely familiar to some of them
"You won't get away with this people will rise up and stop you." Said Tsunade glaring at the man who only chuckled darkly.
"You make it sound like there are other humans alive." Mocked the man, as they paled in realization and horror
"That's right you are only humans left alive on the entire planets, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the man laughed at their expressions
The man then began unbuttoning his coat, showing his rock-hard muscles as a few of the women blushed slightly, though Kakashi and Tsunade gasped and paled when they the right side of his chest where his heart should be. They saw a scar big enough to fit a hand through, they knew only one person that would have a scar like that.
"N-n-no t-that's i-i-i-impossible." Stuttered Kakashi, much to the confusion of the other's.
"What's the matter Hatake, you look like you've seen a ghost." The man said lowering his hood revealing his face to the horror of everyone at seeing the whisker marks.
"N-Naruto." Tsunade whispered in horror
"Aah, what's the matter Baa-chan you don't look happy to see me." Naruto said in a mocking voice before snarling as he jumped down from his throne and punched her in the throat.
"That's for having me be killed." Growled Naruto turning towards Kakashi and grabbing his arm, the arm he drove through his chest, and twisted with a sickening snap as the man screamed in pain.
"And that's FOR killing me." Naruto sneered
He turned back to the gathered ninja as they all glared at him in hatred.
"You should all be happy, excited even. You all get to witness the end of the Shinobi Era!" Naruto said looking at the remaining and last ninja.
"I'm gonna show you something neat before you die." Said Naruto
They watched in horror as Naruto began growing, his body shifting, bones snapping and realigning, nine black tails grew from his tail bone, black fur growing all over his body, his face stretching into a muzzle. Once he finished transforming they saw Naruto was now a titanic black Ten Tailed Wolf.
"I KNEW IT YOU WERE ALWAYS A MONSTER!" shouted Kakashi, as Naruto threw his head back laughing
"Me a monster? No, I am a DEVIL!" Roared Naruto
Naruto raised his tails up gathering large amounts of chakra forming a massive Tailed Beast Bomb. Once it was big enough Naruto launched the attack straight at the moon, when it hit a large portion of the moon was destroyed with chunks floating in the moons gravity. Naruto shrank back down to his human form, enjoying the shock and horrified looks of his former 'friends'.
"Kill them and turn this village into ash." Naruto ordered his creations who roared in approval.
Naruto walked away ignoring the shouts and demands to be released or pleas of mercy, which were soon replaced with screams of terror and pain.
Naruto watched from a top Konoha's gate as the village burned to the ground. He thought he'd be happy to seeing the village that ruined his life be destroyed, the people who tortured him dead, but he felt nothing. But now everyone is dead, he's the only person alive, he'd destroyed every single jutsu scroll, book, ninja equipment, villages, everything he made sure anything even remotely related to ninja was destroyed, the only thing left was himself.
Pulling out a tanto, Naruto stared at his reflection, he'd truly become the monster people said he was. Holding the tanto in reverse grip Naruto raised it in air before stabbing himself in the chest. Stumbling Naruto fell off the gate hitting the ground, he laid there waiting for death to take him.
After a few moments, Naruto opened his eyes in shock looking he as further shocked to see the tanto had been pushed out and the wound was healed.
'No.' Naruto thought as he grabbed the tanto and slit his throat but it just healed, cutting his heart didn't work it just grew back, he even cut his head off but it just reattached itself.
"No, no, no, no." Muttered Naruto clutching his head in his hands
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto screamed in anger and despair loudly shaking the planet under his rage under the realization
He can't die.
*Timeskip- centuries later*
After learning of his unwanted immortality Naruto could do nothing but remain on a dead planet with nothing but his Grimm, fitting since they were born from his fury, for company. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, months into years, and Naruto watched as the world changed continents shifting sometimes merging together or breaking apart.
Somehow humans somehow reappeared, Naruto didn't know how he was sure he killed them all. Naruto and his Grimm merely watched the humans as they evolved with no chakra they created technology more advanced than any he'd seen in his time. Naruto watched empire's rise and fall whether through the passage of time or through humans own selfishness.
Naruto had even tried leading a normal life in the first few centuries, using a transformation to look normal. He tried he really did living as normal a life as he could even hoping he could meet someone to start a family. But it never worked either someone found out what he really was and the government wanted to experiment on him, or any woman he met would just be terrified of him when he showed his true appearance, both situations all ended the same with him going in a blind rage and wiping out humanity, only for the cycle to start all over.
Eventually Naruto gave up trying to live a normal life accepting he'd always be alone, so he decided to simply be humanities judge, jury, and executioner. If the current humans stayed dumb and ignorant Naruto would leave them until they inevitably destroyed themselves or if he felt they started getting to powerful or arrogant he sent his Grimm out to wipe out Humanity so it can start over, and hopefully get better. Though Naruto also eventually lost hope that humans would ever change since he lost count of how many war's he's been through all fought over the stupidest reasons, whether land, money, power, or even a girl.
Naruto decided to just let the Grimm roam the world letting them kill any humans that they encountered. This proved interesting as the humans seeing the threat of his Grimm banded together fighting them off, but it still wasn't enough. Until humans discovered Dust or "Nature's Wrath" and using Aura, the physical manifestation of one's soul, his Grimm didn't have this as they didn't have souls, and Naruto wasn't sure if he even had a soul anymore. These Hunters and Huntresses fought his Grimm with their weapons, Dust, Aura, and Semblances. A special kind of Hunters appeared ones with Silver Eyes, these silver Eyed Hunters surprised Naruto as his Grimm seemed to fear them, they paralyzed the Grimm with only a single look. Though they eventually died out. Though Naruto had eventually met a child with silver eyes, it was an interesting meeting to say the least.
*Flashback*
Naruto was walking just outside the Kingdom of Atlas, he always spent time here whenever he could. Since he could still feel the cold it helped remind him that he was still not alive but not dead either, it simply reminded him of his own existence.
He was taken from his thoughts when he heard screaming, a female child if he was right, usually he'd just ignore it not really caring, but considering he was a fair distance from the Kingdom he was curious what a child was doing this far out.
Interested peaked Naruto followed the source of the screams, what he found amused and disappointed him. Three Beowolves were jumping in the air around a tree, looking up he saw a little girl with her arms and legs wrapped around a branch shaking like a leaf, whether from the Grimm or the cold he didn't know. Naruto whistled loudly getting the Grimm and girls attention, the Grimm immediately bowed seeing their master while the girl looked shocked.
"How'd you do that mister!?" asked the girl shocked the Grimm weren't attacking him and were instead bowing.
"The better question is what the hell are you doing so far out from the Kingdom brat!" Naruto questioned irritated his solitude was interrupted. The little pouted puffing her cheeks out at being called a brat while pulling herself into a sitting position on the branch.
"Don't call me a brat you big meanie! Besides I'm a big girl, I drink milk!" the girl said crossing her arms with a huff, while Naruto sweatdropped at the latter statement
"Whatever just get down from there." Naruto said
"B-but the Grimm." Said the girl afraid the Grimm would attack
"They won't attack unless I say so, just climb down already." Said Naruto wanting to get rid of the girl
The girl hesitated for a moment before deciding to trust, and slowly climbed down, when she hit the ground she quickly hid behind the stranger still worried about the Beowolves.
"I already said they won't hurt you while I'm around." Naruto said patting one of the Grimm on the head
The child had a look of awe on her face, she was always told Grimm were nothing but soulless monsters that only knew how to kill, but this man was able to make them act like soldiers obeying a king.
"How are you doing that?" asked the girl as she slowly approached the Beowolf
"They who their master is." Naruto answered while wondering why he was still talking to this girl.
Naruto dismissed the Beowolves, as they ran into the forest, he returned his hands to his pockets and walked away, with the girl following him for some reason.
Naruto took the time to get a good look at the kid, she was around nine or ten, wearing large white cloak, with pale white skin, though not as deathly pale as his own, black hair with a red tint, though he was shocked when he saw her eyes. Silver eyes, this shocked Naruto since he thought all the Silver Eyed Hunters died out, Naruto narrowed his eyes while extending his claws fully intent to kill the girl.
"What's your name mister?" the girl asked, freezing Naruto in his tracks.
Naruto's eyes widened when the girl asked him that, she tilted her head while having an innocent pure smile on her face. This shook his resolve for moment before he hardened it.
"My names Summer, Summer Rose." Introduced Summer smiling widely at Naruto
Naruto's eyes softened, he freely admits he's committed genocide more times than he could count, but all the people he's killed were those who deserved it. But this little girl, she was innocent and pure, something that's hard to come by in this selfish and cruel world. His resolve gone Naruto retracted his claws, knowing he couldn't kill the girl.
"Naruto, my names Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto introduced himself
Naruto was suddenly shellshocked when Summer hugged him, no one had ever hugged him without ill intent.
"It's nice to meet you Naruto." Said Summer giving Naruto a wide grin
Naruto hesitantly patted Summer on the back, since this was new to him.
"You to Summer." Naruto said a small almost unnoticeable smile on his face
*End Flashback*
Afterwards Naruto accompanied Summer back to Atlas but only when it was in sight since he wasn't going to risk entering a Kingdom that could capture and experiment on him. Though he still watched over Summer from a distance, he was still surprised to have met such a pure soul such as her. Centuries he's always seen humans as nothing but cruel creature who only care about themselves, willing to do anything to get what they want.
He still held onto that belief, but he's willing to believe that Summer was the sole exception.
Naruto watched as she grew eventually she travelled to Vale joining Beacon Academy, being put on a Huntsmen team.
*Flashback*
Naruto stood hidden as Summer and her teammates, Taiyang Xiao Long, Qrow Branwen, and her partner Raven Branwen fought his Grimm. Qrow wielded a sword/scythe, Taiyang had shot gauntlets that launched blasts of Dust, Raven wielded a Katana that changed to a different colored blade everytime she put it in her sheathe and Summer had dual swords with ice and fire Dust with two hook like protrusions on the ends. Raven intrigued him, she was fighting with a fierceness her teammates lacked. They soon defeated all the Grimm the boys high fived, and Taiyang seemed to flirt with the Raven who ignored him.
They prepared to leave when Raven stopped Summer and looked directly at him. Summer grinned at him and waved, while the other girl stared blankly.
Naruto stood there for a moment surprised Raven had been able to tell he was watching, opening a black and red portal Naruto stepped through having grown tired of observing.
Summer frowned slightly when Naruto left, and he didn't even wave back!
"Who do think that was Rae?" Summer questioned playing dumb at not knowing who it was, looking at her partner who narrowed her eyes when she saw the portal similar to her own.
"I don't know Summer, but I feel that won't be the last time we see him." Said Raven suspicious of the mystery man.
"Yo, Summer, sis you coming!" Raven rolled her eyes at her brother
"Let's go before those idiots get in trouble." Raven said as they went back to the Academy
*End Flashback*
While it interested Naruto that Raven managed to know he was watching he pushed it to the back of his mind thinking it was a fluke. But like everything else Naruto had to be wrong again.
*Flashback*
Naruto sat on a rock staring at a waterfall it was one of the few times he takes a moment to enjoy nature letting all his worries slip away. He then heard a twig snap making him sigh knowing his peace was over.
Turning to whoever was dumb enough to approach Naruto's eyes widened slightly when he saw it was Raven. Though she was now a grown woman along with having a Grimm mask.
"You again." Naruto said turning back
"You're that man from before, at Beacon." Raven said, making Naruto roll his eyes
"Way to point out the fucking obvious girly, you want a damn prize." Said Naruto sarcastically, while Raven narrowed her eyes behind her mask placing a hand on her sword which Naruto noticed
"Unless you want pieces of your body scattered across Remnant I'd suggest you not do that." Naruto said, as Raven scoffed
"Am I supposed to be scared of teenager." Asked Raven
"No, you should fear them though." Said Naruto pointing up
Looking up Raven was surprised and slightly shocked to see three Grimm Dragons looking down at her with hunger in their eyes.
'I thought there was only supposed to be one.' Raven thought only ever hearing about the dragon trapped in Mountain Glenn. Raven calmed herself down knowing she can open a portal to escape.
"So, it's true you can control Grimm." Raven said having suspected he had a connection to the Grimm from when she first saw him, given his appearance, no matter how brief it was.
"Once again brilliant work stating the obvious. Did someone send you to kill me or are you here on your own." Naruto said wanting her to leave already
"I tracked you down myself." Raven said
Naruto stood up dusting himself off and approached Raven.
"Well you found me, now what do you want?" Demanded Naruto, as Raven narrowed her eyes before taking off her mask.
"Who are you really?" Raven questioned, as Naruto gave a dark chuckle
"Is it really that hard to figure out. The Grimm, my appearance, how about the fact that look the same as when you first saw me." Said Naruto, as Raven thought it over before it all clicked into place with her eyes widened in realization.
"Your…" Raven said
"That's right, I don't just control Grimm I created them!" said Naruto eyes glowing menacingly
Raven couldn't deny the awe she felt, never had she thought to ever meet the very source of the Grimm. Raven thought "She" was responsible but apparently not.
'Guess Ozpin was wrong to.' Raven thought
"So, you know what I am. What're you going to do about it?" Naruto questioned thinking she'd act like every other human and try to kill him.
"Are you going be here long?" asked Raven, much to Naruto's surprise
"I don't know depends on if anyone else tried finding me." Naruto said since he sometimes stays in one place for long periods of time if he's left alone.
"Then I'll see you again." Smirked Raven putting her mask back and opening a portal to leave
Naruto stared shock at where Raven stood, looking at his hands still seeing the sickly pale skin and black cracks of his natural form. She saw what he really looked like and wasn't scared or disgusted, though she could've simply been better at hiding her emotions.
'We'll see.' Thought Naruto dismissing his dragons
*End Flashback*
Naruto didn't think Raven would have returned, but was shocked when the next day she came back. She continued to come back for the next five weeks, with Naruto only beginning to talk to her after two weeks passed.
Naruto would deny it but he'd felt slightly happy that Raven did come back, though he kept his hope low refusing to be hurt ever again. It wasn't the same he felt when around Summer but it was still a good feeling.
After five weeks Naruto decided it was time he'd left since the local Hunters were getting suspicious of the increased Grimm, as Grimm gather whenever he's nearby. Before he left Raven had given him a Scroll, though he didn't really need it since he can literally go anywhere with a thought, but he guessed it was the thought that counts.
Afterwards Naruto headed back to Atlas, staying away from the Kingdom itself since Atlas is the most militaristic and if he was caught they'd do everything to capture him figuring out what makes him tick and how he creates Grimm, probably to create their own.
After spending a few years there, Naruto received a message from a Grimm about an emergency in Vacou.
*Flashback*
Naruto ran through the desert he'd received a message from a Grimm that something happened. Soon Naruto arrived at what appeared to be the location of a battle, with blood staining the sand red.
He then saw a flash of white, making his eyes widened in shock seeing Summer here, running over to her, he growled seeing her injuries, injuries that were definitely not from any Grimm.
'None of my Grimm did this, it looks like it was done by some type of blade, something big.' Naruto thought since if it was a Grimm there'd be claw and bit marks.
he was relieved she's still alive, he then heard her mutter something under her breath, leaning closer he listened.
"Ya… ng… Ruby…s-so-sorry g-girls. Mommy isn't c-coming h-home." Summer muttered
Naruto's eyes widened in shock, she was saying goodbye to her daughters, she knew she was dying. Not if he had anything to say about it, Naruto placed his right hand on her chest watching her wounds begin glowing.
Naruto watched as her wounds knitted themselves back together, while the blood she lost replenished itself.
Summer gasped not feeling like she was dying, instead feeling good as new. Opening her eyes, she saw that any wounds she had healed themselves, she was shocked how could she heal.
"I wouldn't move for a while you're still sore from nearly dying." Turning her head Summer was surprised and happy to see Naruto here. Looking she was surprised to find herself lying in a cave with Naruto sitting by a fire.
"Summer what happened, who did that to you?" Questioned Naruto
Summer frowned trying to remember, she'd been called out on a mission about Grimm attacking a town in Vacou, but when she arrived at the supposed location, there were no Grimm.
"I was ambushed by some… lunatic. He had claw blades attached to vambraces, he could block all my attacks even when I used my Semblances. He was laughing crazily the entire time, saying he was ordered to kill me for being a threat to some plan." Summer said rubbing her chest where she was slashed deeply.
Naruto clenched his fists, he had a feeling who it was and on whose orders.
'That half-breed bitch just signed her death warrant.' Naruto thought
"Um, Naruto how long have I been unconscious?" asked Summer since she didn't want her family to worry.
"bout twelve thirteen hours, you lost a lot of blood." Naruto answered
Summer's eyes widened before pulling out her scroll but inwardly cursed when she saw it was broken.
"Here." Naruto said tossing Summer his scroll
Summer raised a brow since she didn't think Naruto would have one. Shrugging she called Tai, but he didn't pick up. Frowning he called Qrow hoping he'd answer. After three rings, he picked up.
"Whoever this is, I'm not in the mood call back never." Slurred Qrow, making Summer roll her eyes that he was drunk again.
"Nice to hear your voice to Qrow." Summer replied sarcastically when she heard glass breaking
"Who the hell is this, whoever you are you better hope I don't find you." Qrow said threateningly, making Summer frown
"Qrow it's me Summer. You know your teammate, Beacon, me and Tai tricked you in wearing a skirt on our first day." Summer said, as it went quiet making her think the line was cut.
"Summer, you're alive." Said Qrow in a shocked and hopeful voice
"Yes, why wouldn't I be." Summer said
"We thought you were dead when you didn't call or report or anything. What the hell happened!" demanded Qrow
Summer explained that the mission wasn't really, how she was ambushed, the guy she fought, and nearly dying.
"I would be dead if a friend didn't show up and help me." Summer said looking at Naruto
"Thank Oum you're alright. But Summer you should know Tai he's in a bad place." Qrow said. Making Summer wince
"I tried calling him but he couldn't answer, can you try and contact him tell him I'm fine and will be home as soon as I can." Summer asked with a pleading tone
"Of course. Also, I made that skirt look good!" Qrow said before hanging up, as Summer giggled a little before tossing Naruto his scroll back
Summer then hugged Naruto tightly, surprising him.
"Thank you for saving me Naruto." Summer said honestly happy she doesn't have to leave her husband and daughters.
"No problem Summer. Now rest I'll take you back in the morning." Said Naruto hugging Summer back with a small smile at the woman he's come to see as a sister.
*End Flashback*
After that Naruto called a Nevermore and had it fly him and Summer to Patch, Naruto only went in case "She" tried anything else after learning Summer was still alive
Naruto stayed in an abandoned farm house with several Beowolves. Currently he was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, stretching out his sensing, when he suddenly heard a noise outside.
'Great now what.' Naruto thought standing up as the Beowolves went outside growling. What he saw confused him, a little blonde girl pulling a wagon, with a red bundle in it.
The little girl backed away when the Beowolves appeared and prepared to pounce on her, until they heard Naruto's voice.
"HEEL!" Naruto shouted, freezing the Grimm in place
*Earlier*
Yang Xiao Long trudged slowly through the woods tiredly, she'd lost track of how long she'd been walking. The reason being earlier today her and her little sister's mommy came home, even though their uncle and daddy told them she wasn't coming back. Daddy had finally come out of his room and hugged mommy tightly while crying. Yang was happy that she still had her mommy, while Ruby who had been too young to understand what was happening only smiled at seeing her mommy.
Though later Yang had overheard her parents talking, so she listened and heard them mention a woman named Raven. What Yang heard next shocked and hurt her, Summer wasn't her birth mother, the woman Raven was, but she left when Yang was born.
Later Yang, had found a picture of her dad, now revealed step-mom, uncle, and who she guessed was her birth mother standing outside of an old building. Yang recognized where it was, so she put Ruby in a wagon and left to go find her birth mother, thinking she was at the old building.
Yang soon saw the old house and smile tiredly hoping to find her birth mother there. Though she soon heard growling Yang stood paralyzed as Beowolves stepped out of the building looking at her hungrily.
She watched fearfully but stood protectively on front of the wagon wanting to try protecting her sister. The Grimm were about to pounce when suddenly.
"HEEL!" came a loud male voice, freezing the Grimm as the immediately turned and bowed.
Yang saw a man step out the building, with an irritated expression on his face. He then looked at Yang, making the little girl gulp since the man had a scary appearance.
Naruto looked at the scared blonde girl, before his attention shifted to the wagon, looking he saw a familiar red tinted black hair and pale complexion. It didn't take long for Naruto to realize these were Summer's daughter's, the blonde was obviously Yang and the sleeping one was Ruby. Though Naruto felt he'd seen Yang somewhere before.
"What're you doing her child?" questioned Naruto kneeling down to hopefully ease Yang's fear
Yang shuffled nervously, still scared of the present Beowolves, Naruto saw this and motioned the Beowolves to go back inside.
"Better." Naruto said once the Grimm were out of sight
Yang have a slow hesitant nod. Naruto took in her appearance more closely and saw she looked ready to collapse from exhaustion. Pulling out a container of water Naruto held it out for Yang.
"Here, drink." Said Naruto, but Yang didn't take it
Naruto poured some on his hand showing Yang it was water. Seeing what it was Yang snatched it and began drinking as much as she could. Soon Yang stopped breathing heavily thankful for the drink.
"Thank you mister." Yang said bowing slightly
"So, what're you doing out here anyway?" Naruto wondered, when Yang looked down sadly
"I was looking for my mommy. My other mommy came home today, but I overheard her and daddy saying that she wasn't my mommy, and I was hoping to find my real mommy here." Yang said with tears gathering in her eyes
It clicked for Naruto, Yang was Raven's daughter.
'That's why she looked familiar.' Naruto thought before seeing Yang about to start crying
"Hey don't cry." Said Naruto since he's not good at comforting people
"B-but m-my m-m-mommy left m-me a-and d-daddy." Choked Yang rubbing her eyes, while Naruto groaned inwardly
Yang suddenly felt something on her head, looking she saw Naruto rubbing her head.
"Don't cry, it won't solve anything. It will only make you feel worse, the best thing you can do and is get back up try again. If you want to find your mother, then keep looking for her. But whatever you do never give up." Naruto said sternly, while Yang looked at him in something akin to awe
Yang suddenly threw her arms around Naruto's neck, shocking the man. He felt Yang crying on his shoulder, Naruto rubbed her back until she calmed down.
"Thank you mister." Said Yang wiping away her tears before determination burned brightly in her eyes.
"I promise I'll find my mommy, no matter what." Yang said in determination
"YANG! RUBY!" Yang turned hearing her uncle's voice
"Our Uncle, daddy and mommy are going to be upset." Yang said no matter what Summer Rose was still her mother.
"Excuse me Mister-" said Yang turning back to where Naruto was but he was gone before her uncle appeared through the trees seeing his nieces unharmed making sigh in relief. Qrow marched up to Yang looking down at her.
"Yang, what were you thinking wondering off like that, you and Ruby could have been killed!" Qrow said, making Yang wince and look down since it was true
Qrow seeing Yang look down sighed before putting her in the wagon next to Ruby.
"Come on Summer and Tai are both worried sick, that was a very irresponsible thing to do Yang." Said Qrow
"I just wanted to find my real mommy." Yang said quietly, making Qrow's eyes widen at that before sighing know he and their parents have a lot to explain.
Naruto watched as Qrow pulled Yang and Ruby along back to their house, he looked up feeling a breeze blew over him.
'Things are going to change soon.' Thought Naruto
Whether these changes were for better or worse remained to be seen.
So yeah mostly flashbacks and Naruto's history. Also Summer lives so that's a plus and nothing romantic between her and Naruto, she's simply a light for Naruto's black heart. Well let me know what you think, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
