HI EVERYONE! IM NOT DEAD! Tired as shit from working pretty much 24/7 yes, but not dead! That as well as depression and shit but let's not open that can of worms.
Before I start let me just go ahead and say that Guest reviews don't really help me. So let me start with a couple that I got.
Yes, I know Naruto was born with the whisker marks. However most would perceive them as scars. As such, I played on that.
While I thank you for saying that the story has potential, I don't appreciate when you tell me that it is 'somewhere between good and shit' concerning grammar. Had you read the second chapter you would realize that I posted it after I completed it, took a nap, then I re-upped it to correct most of the mistakes. To say that it is shit without telling me where the issues you saw were then it is not considered 'rightfully criticized' by the guidelines that Fanfiction has set. If a few words really bothers you that much, then sorry.
"You need to learn capitalization and spelling, though. Seriously, you have no ability to use apostrophes whatsoever." Again, tell me where the issues are and I'll do my best to work on them. Rightful criticism is welcome. Being rude? Not so much.
And while not an anon review, I have to address this one as well. No, I will not fix his age because it helps me give a connection to Ruby for him. Had I simply made him the correct age, then I would've given him more of a connection with Yang. I don't know what I want the pairing to be, but I don't want it with Yang. She's not bad, don't get me wrong, she is a bad ass, but for this story? I just don't want it.
Now that that is out of the way, some questions.
Yes, I know Weiss's scar is over her left eye. While the 'fair use' law is applied to Fanfiction, it still feels a bit wrong copying everything the storyline gives you.
What's the pairing? Honestly, I have no fucking clue like I said above. I have an idea for two of them at most, one being preferable. If people want a harem I will try, TRY, to work something out but it may not happen even if they ask.
While it's not really a question and I already answered it in a PM, I'd still like to give some insight(?) to what his semblances are. Right now, he has two that are shown. Both of them powers of Sans from Undertale. The Gaster Blaster and his telekinesis. Both act the same as Sans's version as well. The Gaster Blasters can just form from nothing, and the telekinesis only works on those with a soul. However to add some differentiation to how it works. So I made it to where someone has to have an active aura as well as it can only be used in short bursts. If he were to just spam it against people then he would be even more OP than he is. I have him planned to gain two more. But that's what's planned. Plans can change.
This will be the last question because it's too long of an AN. What Gyuki told Kurama was left vague for future purposes. He has found a way to use aura in a way to make seals. Which brings it to the end, yes. Although it isn't 'seal' it's 'seals' that brought him down in ability.
Hope you all enjoy!

The blonde war hero had to hold back punching whoever got in his face. He could tell they didn't mean anything bad but attempting to get in a ninja's personal space while they slept usually ended badly. He opened his eye to see a girl with short orange hair and light blue eyes, a white battle dress with pink skirt/shorts. Though as soon as he saw the girl's hair he made up his mind
"Your hair is awesome as fuck. We're going to be best friends I promise you that."
The girl just blinked her eyes and a smile that looked like it would break her face popped up. "That works for me, blondie!" As quick as she appeared she left, leaning over a boy over to his right who sighed as soon as she spoke. Dragging him off to who knows where. Throughout the whole morning he saw her animatedly talking to the kid with a pink streak in his hair. If he didn't know any better he would've called him Sasuke. But no one could be like that prick. That and while it seemed like this 'Ren' didn't answer all of the girls questions, he did at least talk to her, even had a smile on his face every once in a while.
In the locker rooms they had stored their weapons, Naruto was thinking back on the conversation he had with Glynda and Ozpin. While Glynda was more hesitant to answer questions, the grey haired headmaster had been more than happy, especially after he answered some questions of his own. Especially like how he ended up here. He opened the locker and looked to his right to see Weiss talking with a rather tall, almost as tall as him, girl with hair like his mother. She had a gladiatorial look to her and he felt as though he should know her. He also looked over their shoulder to see Yang and Ruby talking, though the short redhead didn't seem too happy with her sister.
His thoughts got interrupted when Jaune slipped himself between Weiss and the redhead. "Ya know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc, nice to meet you." Admittedly, Naruto snorted lightly at the suave attempt. While she might have opened up to him fast, Weiss was still very adamant against people like Jaune. The heiress shook her head," Not you again." The ninja slid up next to her. "C'mon, Weiss. At least say hello back." The other blonde boy smiled at the help. "Then you can crush his dreams of getting on the same team as you." The ninja chuckled lightly as the boy grew a raincloud over his head.
Naruto slapped his shoulder lightly," I'm just messing with ya, besides, I think someone else here might want to be on the same team as you." He turned the Arc boy to the redhead who smiled prettily. "Hello!" She stuck her hand out to him," I'm Pyrrha Nikos." Naruto finally got it. "Oooohhh, you're 'Invincible Girl'! Hey after this can we spar?" Naruto pushed the other blonde away from her, ironic considering he put him there in the first place. Pyrrha nodded with her smile, and then looked back to the other blonde boy who was in a heap with swirls in his eyes. Naruto glanced down," Whoops."
Weiss poked on his arm to get his attention. "Do you want Reiterpallasch back now? If not then can I um, can I keep using it?" Naruto smirked lightly, seems she grew attached to his weapon…ok that thought came out wrong. "Sure, you can hang on to it. Besides," he leaned to whisper in her ear, drawing a blush from the heiress," don't let the others know but we're gonna be on the same team. A deal I made with Ozpin." He pulled back to see her smiling. She was about to say something but got cut off as the speakers came to life.
"Will all first year students report to Beacon Cliff for initiation, repeat, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff." Having already gotten dressed in his hunter attire which pretty much consisted of what he wore a couple days ago at the store, Naruto reached into the locker and gripped the folded scythe/rifle and slipped it into his lower back and headed out with the rest of the students.
On the Cliffside Ozpin and Glynda waited, when everyone was there they had them all stand in a line. Ozpin sipped from his mug as he looked at them all. "For years you have trained to become warriors. Today your abilities will be tested here, at the Emerald Forest." Naruto almost snorted. Seriously how close were these two worlds? I mean, giant animals in a forest that will most likely kill you? Forest of Death anyone?
Glynda pushed her glasses up," Now I'm sure that many of you have been hearing rumors of team assignments. Well this will put those rumors to rest. You will all be given teammates. Today." To his right the ninja heard Ruby's little 'Ohh…' He felt bad for her but she needed to meet new people. Ozpin continued where his assistant left off. "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your stay here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone you can work well with." Another groan from Ruby. "That being said the first person you meet eyes with down there will be your partner for the next four years." Naruto felt and heard Ruby's feeling on the matter when she screamed out a 'What!' Along with that orange haired girl 'I told you so.'
"However there is an exception," Many raised an eyebrow hoping for a loophole," due to the uneven numbers that this year has, Naruto Uzumaki will be put on an already predetermined team regardless of who has met his eyes. That being said, when you get your partner, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way, do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path…or you will die." Jaune let out a small nervous chuckle, and if one were to look at the orange haired Nora, they would see a giant open mouthed smile. Naruto shivered for an odd reason, as though someone could claim his destructive title from him.
"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene." The sage nodded, if they didn't learn to fight for themselves then they may end up in some really bad situations. "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path that contains several relics. Each pair must choose one and then return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately." Ozpin glanced at the freshmen," Any questions?" Naruto did chuckle here. If Ozpin was anything like Kakashi, he wouldn't even regard the fact anyone had one. This was proven when Jaune tried speaking up only to get cut off with the headmaster's 'Good!'
"Now get ready." The students began to get set, most set for a leaping position. Jaune took the silence as his opportunity. "Uhm, sir, I got a question." Next to Naruto, Weiss was launched into the air. "So this landing strategy, thing." He didn't hear anymore as the ninja was thrown into the air. Just as his feet were about to leave the springboard, he jumped and shot out in a wider arc. He heard Jaune scream and looked back to see his fellow blond screaming his head off. He would have helped him but when he tried to 'grab' him he couldn't feel the Arc using his aura. Naruto could use his telekinesis on anyone with aura, but it has to have been activated. "That's why he's so skittish to fight." He didn't worry though as a quick glance at Pyrrha and he figured she would get him. Naruto laughed pretty hard when he caught sight of Ruby slamming into a Nevermore, killing it. Her cry of 'birdy no!' didn't help.
The blonde was finally coming down from the sky and used his aura to enhance his muscles so when he grabbed the top of the tree it wouldn't rip his arm out. Swinging around once, he backflipped in the air, grabbed Shingetsu and slammed the extended scythe into a tree so he could spin down it. Landing on the ground he looked back at the tree and sweat dropped as it looked like it had been a peeled orange. He could hear the explosions of Yang's Ember Cecilia blasting nearby. Another explosion, though this sounded more like a rocket, rang out and he heard Jaune. "Thank you!" Pyrrha's 'I'm sorry!' right afterward. Naruto chuckled at them.
The growls he heard behind him along with the negative energy made him realize that Beowolves began to surround him. "That's weird…they usually ignore me, no matter." Pushing aura through his body, the ninja's eyes glowed and ethereal blue. He held the scythe horizontal to his body pulling his right arm back and crouched. He twisted his back foot and was gone, the Grimm stopping their approach as Naruto was now behind them walking while whistling. Slowly the Grimm began to drop and dissipate, their masks slashed in half.
Ruby had been running through the forest, hoping to either run into Yang, Jaune, or Naruto. She wouldn't have minded Blake but she had a feeling that she wouldn't be able to hold a conversation long. She came skidding to a halt when white entered her vision and then looked up, catching Weiss's eyes.
Normally Weiss would have simply turned and left, but considering what she knew now. She sighed and looked at the red girl. "Look, your sister was right. We got off on the wrong foot." She held her hand up to stop the girl from speaking. "I'm not saying this makes us friends, but I will try to get along with you." Ruby vigorously nodded with a smile on her face. "Good, now let's go I don't want to be wasting any time and being slow about it wo-You don't have to worry about me being slow!" Weiss jumped back a bit as Ruby was in front of her.
"What? Wait, when did you-" "Weiss, I can't really deal with people that well, but monsters are a complete different story!" The redhead slinked next to Weiss." You're about to see a whole nother side of me today. After everything you're gonna be like,' Wow that Ruby girl is really, really coooool…and I wanna be her friend.'" With that said, Ruby dashed off with her semblance and left Weiss in the clearing. She shook her head as she heard rustling next to her. "Yet you're still wasting time…Ruby?" The growls and red eyes that lit up around her gave her more than enough information to tell it wasn't the small redhead. "RUBY!"
"Heeelllooooo! Anyone here?" Yang had been walking for about five minutes after her excellent landing. "I'm getting bored here!" the sound of some bushed moving drew her attention and she walked over to them a small smile on her face. "Ruby is that you?" The pulled the bushes apart and looked up slowly, losing her smile. "Nope." Yang tucked and rolled over to the side as the Ursa Grimm plowed straight at her. She stood into a slight kneeing position and activated Ember Celica. She looked over at the Ursa to see it had another jump next to it. The one she had originally dodged jumped at her, arm back ready to claw her face off. Yang simply pulled her right arm back, loaded a round into the chamber, and punched the Grimm in the stomach, firing the round at the same time causing a small explosion that sent the bear-like beast backward.
The other Ursa came running toward her, mirroring the others move. Yang stepped back and jumped, uppercutting the bear-beast and using the exhaust on her gauntlets, threw her elbow out to give the kick to the Ursa more power. It flipped end over end and plopped on its stomach. Yang smirked cheekily, "You two wouldn't have happened to have seen a small girl in a red hood, have ya?" The Ursa nearest her roared. "Well you could just say no!" She stepped back as it swiped down at her and backflipped when it swung horizontally. She laughed as she landed on her feet. "Geez, you two couldn't hit the broadside…of…a," Yang's taunt was left unfinished as she saw a small yellow hair, her hair, fall gently in front of her.
Yang closed her eyes and clenched her fists, popping the knuckles. "You…" She opened her eyes again and they shone red. The two Ursa glaced at each other, suddenly feeling very confused. "You monster!" Ember Celica reacted to her rage and fire exploded around her. She dashed at the two bear-beasts. When she reached the first she slammed a haymaker into its chest then uppercut it with her left throwing it up into the air. The pissed blonde shot the ground with her explosive ammo to catch up and gave the bear the right-left, right-left combo, then gave it another sideways uppercut. While in the air she fired another round to add more power into the punch she landed near what would be its nether regions. She landed a final kick on the beast and sent it through quite a few trees, before turning to the Ursa behind her when it roared. "What you want some too?!"
It didn't give a response as a slash from behind made it fall flat. Behind it stood Blake with her Gambol Shroud buried in its back. She pulled on the ribbon attached to it and yanked it from the body. The cat shot Yang a smirk, getting one in return. "I coulda taken him." Blake shrugged," Just remind me never to touch your hair."
Weiss had been fighting against the Beowolves ever since Ruby had left and she was beginning to run out of steam. There were only a few surrounding her now but that could still make her trip up and die. "C'mon, Weiss, remember training with Naruto. Feet spaced evenly, right shoulder slightly ahead of the left, and most importantly, be ready to-DODGE!" While she meant to say it internally she screamed it out when the Beowolf in front of her charged at her with an overhead swipe. Which worked in her favor because had she went with her original plan of attacking, it very well could have meant skewering the small redhead that popped up in front of her. "Ruby, you need to be careful!" The girl childishly stuck her tongue out and the heiress had to hold back a scream. The two looked around and realized they were in a bigger predicament than they thought. They few Beowolves had multiplied into around fifteen. The two touched backs and Weiss whispered to the other girl. "C'mon we've got to get out of here."
Ruby didn't get the chance to say anything as the girl in white drug her away before the beasts would do anything. Finally away from the beasts, Ruby turned to her. "What was that? Why did we run, we could have handled them!" Weiss shook her head lightly," That may be but if I hadn't have dodged when it struck at me and chose to attack, I would have loaded Myrtenaster up with fire dust and blazed the Beowolf to the ground. But you got in front of me, now imagine if I had been attacking and couldn't have stopped!"
"I would have moved!"
"How would you know to move if you couldn't see me?!"
"I would have been fine!"
"Sure you would have! Whatever let's keep moving." Weiss turned on her heel and kept walking. Ruby screamed in frustration and decided to let some of her anger out before she did something she regretted. She swung Crescent Rose around and sliced a tree in half, making it crash behind her before continuing on with Weiss. Neither noticed the black feather falling to the ground behind them.
Jaune and Pyrrha had been walking for a few minutes. She had found him soon after she got to the ground. Gunshot went off in the background and Jaune turned to her. "Ya hear that?" His companion nodded," Gunfire, it seems our comrades have encountered resistance." She kept walking and pushed a branch out of her way. It swung back and smacked Jaune in the face making him fall on his butt. "Jaune, I'm sorry."
He rubbed his face," Ahh it's nothing. Just a scratch." Pyrrha looked at him strangely. "Why didn't you activate your aura?"
"Huh." Was the intelligent response.
"Your aura."
"Gazuntite." Pyrrha shook her head. "Jaune, do you know what aura is?" The blonde 'psshed'," Of course I know what it is! Do uh, do you know what it is?"
The invincible girl stared at him blankly. "Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears our burdens and shields our hearts. Have you ever felt like you were being watched without knowing that someone was there?" At the same time she was talking with Jaune, across the forest, Ren had come to a stop in a clearing. Slowly, behind him, a giant black snake rose. It encircled the stoic boy and struck at him. Back with Pyrrha and Jaune, the redhead continued. "With practice, our aura can be our shield." She started walking around him," Everyone has it, even animals." "What about monsters?" Jaune asked.
"No the beasts we fight have no soul, and therefore, no aura. They are creatures of Grimm, the manifestation of anonymity." Back with Ren, the boy had just blocked the strike the King Taiju had attempted and backflipped away from the beast. It encircled him again, possibly trying to squeeze him with its oversized body. Ren simply flicked his wrists and his weapons popped out. The boy jumped up next to the beasts head and out the opening it left. Shooting the beast as he fell and kicking it in the face as he passed by it. Pyrrha and Jaune still talking. "We are the light and they are the dark." "Right, that's why we fight them." Ren jumped over the snake, slashing at its neck as it tried rising up. "It's not about why we fight them. It's about knowing." The snake slithered around quickly coming back to strike at him. He jumped over the attempt to bite him making the snake slam its head into the ground, stunning it. Ren twisted in the air and stabbed down on the base of where the snake's neck would be just below its mask. "Understanding both light and dark, doing so help us manifest our aura. Everyone has some of both." Behind Ren, another large snake, this one white, began to rise. He turned just in time to see the head come at him, but he had enough time to flip off to the side. He looked up to see the one he thought he had killed begin to rise with its twin.
"By bearing your soul outward as a force, you can deflect harm." Ren narrowed his eyes and jumped above one of the strikes at him so he could run up the length of the snake's body. Using his running momentum, he slid along the bodies and shot at them in random intervals. "All of our tools and equipment are conduits for aura." One of the snakes got a lucky hit on him when he went airborne and he lost his weapons, it turned its head and went to bite the boy. "You project yourself and your soul while fighting."
Jaune opened his eyes with a joyous smile," It's like a force field!" Her back was turned but by the tone of Pyrrha's voice you can tell she rolled her eyes. "Yes, if you want to look at it that way." Ren was holding the King Taiju back with his palm, a purple light beginning to shine from his palms. He gripped the fangs of the beast and ripped them out, causing it to fall in pain. Ren then stabbed one of the fangs into its eye and struck the back of it with his enhanced fist. Energy rippled in the snakes head from one side to the other, and then it exploded. He turned and ran toward the other snake.
Pyrrha walked up to Jaune, placing her palm against his cheek. "Now, close your eyes and concentrate." He was hesitant but went along with it. Pyrrha closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them back up, her pupils dilated. Her reddish aura lightly covered her, Jaune's own silver-grey reacting to the others presence. "For it is in passing we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all." She placed her other hand on his chest, over his heart. "Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul and by my shoulder, protect thee." She let him go and stepped back slightly out of breath.
"Pyrrha?" She shook her head. "I'm alright. I used my aura to unlock yours, but the energy that protects you now is your own." She held a light smirk on her face as she noticed the scratch he had quickly disappear. "You have a lot of it." Jaune looked over himself, the grey light fading.
Ren stood overtop the bodies of the two snakes brushing his clothes off. "Brrrhaa!" He shook his head with a smile. He turned around and Nora was hanging upside down smirking at him. "I still don't think that that is what a sloth sounds like." She simply stuck her tongue out and 'booped' him on the nose.
Ozpin stood watch over the forest, contemplating on the groups that have been formed. Speaking of," Our last group has been formed sir, one Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy, I can't imagine those two getting along." Ozpin smirked behind his mug, oh he had an idea that they'd have no problem. "Still, he's probably better off than Ms. Nikos." The headmaster simply 'hmmed' and looked back at the forest. "I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune boy is not ready for this kind of combat!" Glynda stopped the feed of the last pair. "Though I guess we'll find out."
"What of Mr. Uzumaki? I have no doubt he can handle himself, but still, it'd be nice to know." Glynda swiped over the scroll a few times, stopping on the video of his landing. She held the device in front of the grey haired man and saw him raise his brow. "Oh…I knew he was fast but still. That is a level only someone like Oobleck can reach with his coffee." Glynda would have laughed if it wasn't so horrifyingly true. "Where is he now?" She swiped through the camera's coming to the one just at the temple. "It appears he's simply waiting now. Though by the look on his face he is either annoyed or can feel his friends in fights." Ozpin sipped his coffee again. "Glynda, pray that he never thinks that we are on the wrong side. Because if he does…"
"It's this way…No, no it's this way…Definitely this way." Weiss had been walking back and forth in the same spot for the past five minutes. Finally she gave up, "Ok its official…we passed it." Ruby rolled her eyes and stood up. "Why can't you admit you don't know where you're going?" "Because I know exactly where we're going." Weiss took a few steps forward," We're going to the forest temple."
"Uggh."
"Oh stop it! You don't know where we are either."
Ruby turned and looked at her. "At least I'm not pretending to know everything!" In her head she sighed, it started out somewhat well when Weiss had originally agreed to be there, but now…
The heiress stopped and looked at her, a fierce look in her eye. "What's that supposed to mean?!" "It means you're acting like a big jerk!" "Ugh. Let's just keep moving." Ruby behind her mimicking her. "'Just keep moving', 'hurry up', 'watch where you're going'. Gosh you're so bossy! I don't understand how Naruto could be around you for three months." Weiss turned on her heel back at Ruby. "I'm not bossy. Don't say such things." "Then stop treating me like a child!" "Stop acting like one!" "Then stop acting like your perfect!" "I'm not perfect!"
Normally the heiress would have come back with a witty comment about still being better than her. However when she did the same thing with Naruto back before she really go to know him, the spar she had with him afterward had proven that you never judge someone just because of how they look or what they're learning. So to stop herself, she turned and walked away, Ruby following lightly after her, her head down.
Yang and Blake came to a stop on a small cliff overlooking a stone like encirclement. Yang was about to ask if the cat had thought this was the right spot when both of them caught sight of her pseudo-sibling. They walked down with smiles on their faces. "Hey, Naru, honestly you didn't even have to come here yet you did anyway. Waiting for a couple of certain girls?" She put her arms together and bent slightly, pronouncing her chest. Blake blushed lightly at the implications of what she had said and also her thoughts that he was waiting on her.
The blonde ninja chuckled," Oh I might have been. But really it's to see who got here. A couple other groups came before you." A scowl passed his face as he remembered that Cardin kid. "Pick what you like and hope you don't regret." The two girls gave him a deadpan. "Thanks, that makes us feel better about this."
Jaune and Pyrrha stood outside a cave with drawing on the side of it. He glanced over at her," Think this is it?" They lit a torch and continued inside. After a moment Pyrrha spoke up. "I…don't think this is it." Jaune sighed however. "Pyrrha, we made the torch, we could at least see where it leads." He tripped however and lost hold of the light, dropping it into water and plunging them into the dark. Jaune stood up, and even in the dark he could feel Pyrrha's smirking face. Pyrrha looked to him for a moment. "Do you feel that?" His immediate response," Soul crushing regret?"
"No it feels…warm."
Naruto looked at the two girls in front of him," Hey I'm just saying it could be the best or worst decision ever." Que the deadpan again. He chuckled and plopped down.
While Blake had been looking at the black queen, Yang walked over to the white pieces and grabbed the knight. "How about a horsey?" She threw it up in the air at the cat. Blake caught the piece with a smirk and eye roll, "Sure, why not." They came together standing a foot apart. "Well that wasn't too hard." Blake looked at her," Well it's not like it this place was hard to find." The ninja laughed at her." You'd be surprised. There's been a few groups that already passed by here."
Yang looked at him," You didn't call out to them? Let 'em know it was here?" The ninja shook his head. "Nah, it's not my place right now. Besides you know what this test is right?" He stopped talking. The ninja stood up his eyebrow raised. "I've got a bad feeling now." Blake grabbed her weapon; whenever he had a bad feeling it was almost always right.
Pyrrha and Jaune had walked a little further in, when they passed a corner there shone a golden teardrop, floating in the air. The blonde kid grew excited at the sight of it. "That's the relic!" He bounced on his feet lightly. He went to grab it when it moved away from him slightly. Behind him Pyrrha's eye's narrowed. "Hey! Bad relic." He kept grabbing at it until finally," Gotcha." It began to lift him up. Pyrrha took a step back, her eyes starting to widen. "Jaune…" Said boy looked down as red eyes lit up in front of him.
Back at the relic alter the small group heard the sound of a high pitched girlish scream. Yang turned toward the sound, "Some girl is in trouble!" She turned and looked at the other two. "You heard that right?"
Pyrrha was seen booking it, covering twenty feet in less than two seconds. Behind her the sounds of the screaming 'girl' grew, finally the Deathstalker bust through the cave wall with Jaune still hanging onto its stinger. He was half hysterical, "Hahahaaauughh, why?! Oh, Pyrrhahahahaa!" Said girl turned and held her spear out. Jaune looked at her and with his expression as 'calm' as can be he screamed out to her. "THIS IS NOT THE RELIC!" The Deathstalker moved slightly, causing Jaune to let out more whines.
"Jaune, whatever you do, don't let-", before she could say go, the scorpion flung its tail back and made the blonde boy go flying. The invincible girl watched him fly by,"…go." She turned back to the Deathstalker. It hissed at her. In a style Naruto would be proud of, she rubbed the back of her head, lifted a leg and her arms and got the hell outta there. All that was left were leaves falling to the ground.
Blake was looking up at the sky, Naruto followed her gaze but then shook his head. Yang was oblivious to this. "You two heard that right? What should we d-aaaauaAAHHHHH!" The sight that met Yang's eyes was her little sister falling from the sky. Naruto would have done something again, but in an event only thought of in stories, Jaune came flying out of the sky from another direction and collided with Ruby, sending them both into a tree.
Blake looked at the blondes on the ground. "Did…did your sister just fall from the sky?" Yang was speechless," I-…" "YYYYEEEEHHAAWWW!" An Ursa Major came crashing through the woods in front of them. It fell to the Earth and showed Nora along with Ren riding on its back. The orangette looked down on its body. "Aww…It's broken." Ren got off the creatures back shakily," Nora?" She looked at him. "Never…do that again…please." His request fell on deaf ears as she was already next to the relics. She stared at a white rook piece before snatching it and singing," I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle!-NORA!" Ren called out to her at the end. She simply turned and smiled. "Coming, Ren!"
Naruto blinked at her and Blake as well as Yang just stared. The cat spoke in disbelief," Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" The ninja just shook his head while Yang tried speaking again. "I-" was all she could get out before a deep hiss came out from the forest. The sight of Pyrrha running from a Deathstalker grabbed everyone's attention. It took a swipe at her from behind but she jumped through the claw and rolled to keep her momentum from running. Jaune saw her from his position in the tree. "Pyrrha!" Ruby stood up next to him," Ruby?" She ignored him and jumped down, landing next to her sister. "Ruby?!" the little redhead looked at her sister and grew a smile," Yang?!" She went in for a hug but Nora came in between them and shouted her own name.
Naruto calmly coughed and spoke," Don't tell me that you all forgot that Pyrrha most likely ran all the way here with a Deathstalker on her ass." Nora was just doing this weird little dance that looked like she had to pee, Blake was stoic, and Ruby was pretty calm, her older sister however…
"Could everyone just chill out for two, TWO seconds before something else crazy happens?!" Slowly a shadow over took the group and Naruto sighed with his palm in his hand. "Yang, I'm usually the one that causes crazy shit to happen. Yet look, you've taken my title." Ren joined them and sighed. Ruby rubbed the back of her head," Uhm, Yang?" "HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?!" Everyone looked up and saw that Weiss was hanging on to the Nevermore by one of its talons. The ninja looked at the small redhead next to him. "Really? You really jumped and left her?" She rubbed her head, "I told her to jump too…" Naruto yelled to the heiress," Weiss if you jump I'll catch you!" Ren mumbled," And she's falling."
Jaune saw this as a chance to look cool and jumped to catch her but ended up not falling when he jumped off the branch. Weiss had stopped falling as fast as well. One look at Naruto showed him with his arm outstretched, his blue aura around him, a small blue hue around the Arc boy and Weiss. They touched the ground and the girl in white shot him a 'thanks'. "Don't thank me yet. We still have to get rid of those things." The sight of the Nevermore turning around to come at them, as well as the Deathstalker trailing after Pyrrha met their eyes. Yang shook her head. "Great, now we can all die together." Ruby took off," Not if I can help it." "Ruby, be careful!" Naruto's call fell on deaf ears as she got slapped with the Deathstalker's claw. She slowly stood up, "Don't worry! I'm fine." She turned and saw the beast within feet of her, so she shot her rifle to push herself away. She turned and ran back to the group but the Nevermore that had been forgotten reared its head and shot its feathers at her. One got lucky and stabbed her cloak into the ground.
Yang began to yell out her name in worry. "Get out of there!" She turned and looked at the small group," Do something!" Naruto took a step forward but Weiss put her hand on his shoulder. She zoomed past them all and right as the Deathstalker was about to strike Ruby, a wall of thick ice formed around her. Naruto smiled and turned to the group. "While she's getting Rubes time, you need to hurry and grab a piece. I have a feeling we're gonna leave afterward." They nodded and those who hadn't grabbed one now had a relic. He heard the small speech the heiress gave to the redhead and smiled. Yang held her sister in a bear hug. The ninja looked to the group," Alright everyone got a piece?" Nods. "Good, now go, I'll give you some cover on the way out." The sisters along with Weiss and Blake nodded and started the trek back, but the rest grew worried. Jaune spoke for them. "Wait, you're gonna fight that thing alone? Look, dude, I don't really know what you can do but I wouldn't feel right with myself if we just left you here." Everyone was in agreement with his statement. Weiss turned around and answered for him as Naruto had already begun walking toward the Deathstalker. "Trust me when I say don't worry. I spent almost three months training with him in a weapon he barely knew how to work. In less than a week he not only learned my style but created his own. His semblance is nothing to laugh at either." She shivered lightly at the memory.
Said ninja called back to them," Just go! I'll be right behind you, I promise." He turned his head half-way and smirked. "And Naruto Uzumaki never goes back on a promise." He turned back to face the scorpion after the group left. "Well now, it seems it's just you and me big guy." The Deathstalker hissed at him, trying to pry its claw from the ice Weiss had left. "Is it girl then? Well it won't matter in a second." He held his hand up for his semblance. "Normally I'd do a whole little flashy move-set, but I realize you beasts don't care too much for them. So, sorry I suppose," behind him three skulls, three to four times larger than normal, appeared gathering energy. "But I guess this will just have to do."
With the group heading back, they all turned when the sound of a large explosion sounded out behind them. Ruby had stars in her eyes while Weiss, Yang, and Blake shivered. The rest of the group was worried but Weiss ushered them along, ensuring them Naruto was fine and it was just a side-effect of his semblance. Hearing that fact, Nora smirked and mumbled something about grenades and trying to match. The screech above them let them know that they were still followed by the Nevermore. The group came to a set of ruins beneath the cliff they had to reach. They split apart to hide easier from the crow-like Grimm. Yang looked at the three with her. "Got any ideas besides pelting it from here?" The sound of a stampede reached their ears and a Deathstalker ripped from the trees, Jaune screamed out. "I thought Naruto dealt with that thing!" Weiss yelled back," With what Naruto did there wouldn't be anything left, it has to be another one!" The blonde boy groaned," Aww man, RUN!" Pyrrha stood and bolted with him, the others following her lead.
When Ren and Nora took, off he looked at her, "Nora, distract him.", and ran diagonally toward the Nevermore. Nora went sideways and pulled her weapon off her back, firing three grenades with one nailing it in the face. She kept firing to drive it away when she turned and saw the Deathstalker behind her. Ren and Blake appeared slashing at its face, with Weiss dropping next to Nora to grab her and use her semblance to jump away from them. Pyrrha saw the scorpion still on them so she turned and knelt. "Keep going!" She switched her spear to rifle form and fired to keep its attention on her as the group ran, Ren landing next to her to fire as well. Blake jumped, just missing a strike from its claw and kept going being followed by the other two.
The group ran along the bridge, hoping to get as far away as possible, but the Nevermore came back and smashed through a few support beams, splitting them up, leaving Blake, Pyrrha, and Ren to deal with the Deathstalker. "Man, we have to get over there! They need our help!" Jaune stared at them from the other half of the bridge, Nora walking up next to him. "Let's do this." He looked at her," Yea, but how? I can't make that jump." The girl smirked, quite evilly, and knocked him back with her gun. She transformed it to show a large hammer and reared back and slammed it into the broken end of the bridge. Jaune had gone flying from his downed position over to the group fighting the stalker, screaming the whole way. Nora smirked and placed her hammer under her foot, standing in the classical 'explorer' pose. She pulled the trigger on the weapon and shot off after him.
Using the momentum she gained from the jump she pulled the hammer back and rammed it onto the scorpions face. Its stinger reared back and was about to strike her, but she pulled the trigger again and shot off its face. What she didn't think would happen would be slamming into Blake and knocking her off the bridge. The cat Faunus cried out in shock and went to quickly switch weapon forms but didn't have to as she stopped moving, a light blue hue around her. She looked up and saw her blonde ex-partner. He brought her up and gently set her down with the sisters and heiress. He jumped up next to them with a toothpick he pulled from…somewhere. "The feathers on the Nevermore are gonna be thick." Yang smirked, "Well then!" She cocked Ember Celica. "Let's light it up!"

"Even by my standards that was bad, Yang."
"Shuddup."
There you have it my lovelies. Yes it's a bit shorter than I would like. Not only that but most of it was centered around Jaune unlocking his aura. Admittedly I was jack shit outta motivation to write this. Work has been a fucking killer and working pretty much 60 hour weeks kills.
But either way, I hope you enjoyed it. I love you all. Tell me what you think and most of all…
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
