Sorry about the late Chapter the holiday season is a killer.

First I want to thank everyone for your love and support on this fic it does my heart well to see people enjoying this. Okay next I want to answer a few questions that you guys asked:

Timeline: (at the moment) takes place pre-Red trailer essentially this is Naruto's own 'trailer'.

Semblance: Naruto semblance(s) will be explained within the chapter to a degree while a full explanation will be at the end note of the chapter.

Salem's survival is explained in the chapter, as well as Cinder's reasoning for attacking them as she did.

I don't truly have an update schedule am unorganized, but I do plan on making one.

Other questions, asking about Naruto's views, thoughts, etc. will be explained in future chapters :).

Also I want to thank you for all your questions especially you guest reviewer!

Okay with that out the way now onto the chapter!

I do not own rwby or Naruto.

"I don't like her." Spoke Naruto as she relaxed her body into Shin's back, her hands behind her head as she looked up into the forest canopy.

"You do not have to like Cinder." Spoke Salem as she looked past the lumbering beast spotting the flash of blonde that rested between his shoulder blades, "You just have to work with her." Continued the pale witch as the blonde shot up from her position sending her mother a look of shock.

"Work with her!" Spat Naruto as her voice was full of venom, as she sent Cinder a spiteful glare. "She tried to kill us and for what to feel powerful?"

"No." Answered Salem as she looked at the now growling blonde the child's eyes flashing between black and blue as Shin under her growled at Cinder, "Cinder attacked us to make a name for herself, to insight fear among the common people, which would in turn attract Huntsman to the area thus allowing her to battle and defeat them rising her standing among the criminal underground."

"But you almost died!"

"No I did not." Spoke Salem as she opened her palm, as a small, black, bone plated spider crawled to the center of her palm. "I keep several small grimm on my person at all times, they noticed the arrow before I did and three of them took the brunt of the shot dying in the process, while the others worked on repairing my body." Explained the pale mistress as the spider disappeared under her black sleeve.

Cinder was no longer surprised by Salem as three days prior, Salem revealed to the two girls her control over the grimm, yet Salem's and Naruto's control were entirely different.

Naruto could currently only control one grimm: Shin Chusei. While Salem's control stretched over hundreds of grimm making her more powerful in quantity, yet Naruto had the advantage in quality Shin Chusei had the ability to learn at an exceeding fast rate, learning from mistakes in both battle and day-by day living.

And from what Cinder could tell Shin had an 'aura' that was not his own, but borrowed one from Naruto both produced and supplied by Naruto, yet and aura nonetheless.

But this 'aura' caused both natural and Salem's grimm to turn hostile towards Shin, but he quickly dispatched them with a snap of his jaws.

Cinder had many questions when it came to Naruto's semblance like; 'why does the girl change appearance?' 'Why does her grimm change in form?' 'Can Naruto's grimm use dust?' 'What would happen to the grimm if Naruto ever ran out of aura and if the grimm where killed what would happen to the aura they were borrowing from the girl?' All these questions swirled around the red dress wearing teenager as she walked on the left side of Salem eyeing the blonde across from her ever so often.

"What are you looking at you hag." Spoke Naurto as her eyes locked with Cinder's amber orbs, causing the teenager to give a confused look, which then changed to realization, and then finally transforming into anger.

"Am only three years older than you, you brat." Huffed out Cinder as she sent the blonde a spiteful glare, Naruto smirked at Cinder's comment as her mischievous mind came up with thousands of ways to mess with and possibly prank the teenager.

And it was going to be fun, very fun.

A sinister grin spread across Naruto's face giving her an evil appearance.

All the while a shiver ran down Cinder's spine as an ominous feeling overcame her, 'I feel as if am about to be pranked to all hell and back, but that couldn't be true could it?'

And from that moment forward Cinder knew of the pranking monster that was Naruto Uzumaki.

XxX

"We have arrived." Spoke Salem as she stopped her stride causing the girls and beast behind her to stop next to her.

The village, Narageru irie*, it sat on a cliff edge and below the cliff was the roaring sea as it crashed against the rocky cliff side smoothing out the surface of the stone, yet the most striking feature of the village was…that it was abandoned.

No life was present except the rampant overgrowth that ate away at the decrepit homes and buildings. The cobble stone roads stained a light red, wedding from stone to stone.

"Come." Spoke Salem as she walked towards the cathedral in the center of town.

The structure was humongous shading the party of women an beast as they approached. Two towers surrounded the center circular widow the left tower far taller than its right twin a bell hung from the top balcony covered in rust, turning it brown and a sickly green making the bell appear ill. The right tower was in far worse shape. Large pieces of the tower had collapsed in on itself revealing the aging burnt wooden skeleton underneath, the colorful windows that once lined the right tower were either destroyed or fogged over with dirt and filth as the window seals peeled back their paint exposing their wooden skin to the elements.

Both towers had rampant overgrowth as the ivy and vines ran in and betwixt the exposed ruins as they shattered through the main window that rested between the two towers, as nature overran the man-made building as a murder of crows screamed out their welcome to the group perching upon some pieces of jutting wood.

An ominous feeling ran down Naruto's spine as she took in the view of the building, her feet heavy as she couldn't bring herself to move as she watched her mother and Cinder approach the build both walking in stride, Salem's arms resting in front of her as the small jewels hanging from her hair rattled in the wind. Cinder close behind her, her arms crossed as they rested below her chest her black heels clicking against the stained cobblestone as she walked towards the wooden doors in tow with Salem.

Naruto only stared until she felt lightness looking up and behind her, seeing Shin carry her as his teeth latched on to the collar of her yukata , walking towards the door with her in his maw.

The wooden doors whined and moan as they were pushed aside, flooding the interior of the cathedral with sunlight.

The interior was far worse than the outside building; parts of the ceiling had caved in crushing pews, lanterns, and pillars causing a distortion of support. Flora and fungus took hold of any still remaining standing structures morphing them green, the few pews that remained un-touched were rotting away or the covered in a thick layer of dust as they awaited their fate. The curtains where torn and dirty from their lack of care, slowly degrading away as the windows they once covered were fogged with dust and a dried red substance.

Naruto took in the sights of the old sick cathedral, pitting its current state as she wondered what this placed once looked like full of life and maintained by careful hands, yet during this pondering she was blissfully unaware of the three extra bodies in the building.

"Oh look, what the cat brought in!" Shouted out a voice that was soon followed by maniacal laughter, the sound was enough to put both Cinder and Naruto on the defensive as Cinder quickly drew her bow cocking back an arrow mere seconds afterwards, Naruto's aura flared out as two large tails exploded from her backside her eyes bleeding black and blue as Shin let out a mighty roar shaking the already weak foundations.

"Tyrian, I would not threaten those two." Warned a voice less insane, but far gruffer as his chocolate brown eyes glowed in the darkness.

"Tyrian you idiot, they are guests of the mistress show proper respect!" Shouted out other voice this one more regal, and well-mannered as it berated the one named Tyrian.

"Killjoys…anyhow-" Spoke the insane voice of Tyrian, as he flipped into the light, a crazed smile on his face as he took a deeper tone saying, "Hello milady and shits one and two." Bursting out into uncontrollable laughter at his joke falling onto his back as his body shook from laughter.

Naruto felt mass unease as looked at the laughing man, he wore a white sleeveless vest that was held by a belts that ran up and down his shoulders and across his scared chest, the belts connected to a harness that was tightly wrapped around his waist. White slacks covered his legs as knee high boots offered extra protection as knee guards entrapped the joint. On his arms where gloves made of rough leather ending at his forearm and wrapping around his middle mid-finger, laces ran down the expanse of the gloves attaching themselves to the elbow guard at the end of the gloves. Bandages covered the rest of his arms tied tightly as they revealed the hidden muscle underneath. He had jet black hair long and sleek as it came together to form a single long braid ending in the small of his back. Black earrings rested in his ears, the small back loops dark and menacing.

Yet, his biggest feature was his eyes…the dilated yellow silted pupils, made Naruto uneasy as the man laughed before her seemingly to never breathe as he did so.

The next to appear was the owner of the chocolate eyes and he ducked under a collapsed pillar as he made his silent approach and as Naruto looked at him she gained immediate respect for the man. He was tall, bulky but most of all intimidating his chocolate eyes looked down at Naruto making her squirm under his stare. Hazel brown hair sat on top of his head and face well combed and trimmed, a short sleeved brown and gold lined vest decorated his broad body, the collar folded and golden button shinned and placed in order, under his vest her wore a dark brown threaded shirt, his hairy arms covering the rest of the shirt from view. He wore tan jeans held up by a brown belt with a golden buckle with brown leather combat boats covering his feet each one laced up and proper.

"I am Hazel."

His voice sending Naruto for a loop as she looked at him staring into his eyes only for him to close them, and even his breathing as he walked away from her to stand by the now standing Tyrian.

"And I am Dr. Watts pleased to make your acquaintance." Spoke the new man as he took a small bow and as Naruto looked at him, she could only think one thing.

"What a jackass!"

The man before her now had a startling mustache that was groomed with sharp edges? He wore a yellow dress shirt that was covered by a maroon vest three buttons lined evenly on each side. A black trench coat rested on his shoulders with the collar of the coat popped up, gold lined the collar and edges of the sleeves. On his hands were gloves fingerless and open on the back of his hands. His legs were cover in black slacks and his shoes shined and cleaned, the boots tied and bold.

"Welcome back wou-"

"Who are the little shits?" Interrupted Tyrian as Dr. Watts sent him a dangerous glare.

"This here is Cinder Falls; she was able to successfully land a hit a direct hit on me." Spoke Salem as she answered Tyrian question causing Tyrian to smirk and both Dr. Watts and Hazel to raise a brow as they looked at Cinder, scanning her, taking in her features.

"And this-" continued Salem as she gestured to her right. "Is Naruto Uzumaki and her grimm Shin Chusei."

The group of men nodded at the information only for them to whirl back and look at Salem in surprise, "Wait did you say her grimm?" Questioned Hazel as he turned his attention to the blonde girl that was ducking under the legs of said grimm.

"Yes, she seems to have the ability control and evolve grimm to a substantial level."

At this Tyrian smile grew three times larger, as he gestured to blonde, "I bet you killed lots of people didn't you?" Smiled Tyrian as he look at the girl expecting a story.

"I don't know…" whispered out Naruto as she diverted her eyes as her appearance returned to normal.

"What was that, I didn't catch what you said?"

"I-I-I d-don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" Shouted out Tyrian as he grabbed the girl shaking her as he did so, only to catch an armful of fangs as Shin locked his jaws onto Tyrian rigging the man before throwing him into some rotting pews, Naruto quickly ran into her mother hiding her face as she did so, making the remaining men send her a questioning look.

Salem mouths the words 'I'll explain later' as she rubs the blonde girls back awkwardly trying to comfort the girl.

Looking down at the girl, Salem watches her shoulders shake with tears, "Currently she is no use to me, if she will be any use I must make her strong and bloodthirsty just like the grimm she controls and I have the perfect method." As her eyes drifted from the crying Naruto to Shin Chusei , "That's perfect." Thought Salem as a ghost of a smile spread across her lips.

And that's the Chapter, tell me how I did and if you got any questions go ahead and ask.

Semblance Explanation:

Naruto semblance allows for the control and creation of grimm and when her aura is applied to a controlled/created grimm they will go through a metamorphosis or transformation. This transform is permanent and grants the grimm a series of improvements from durability to speed, strength and intelligence as well as the use of aura that BORROWED from Naruto so in turn they do have a limited use over dust making them far more lethal than other grimm.

Each one of Naruto's tails determines the amount of aura the grimm is taking to sustain itself so currently Shin Chusei is taking 2/10th of Naruto's aura to keep himself sustained.

If Naruto ever runs out of aura while controlling a grimm it will break free from her control and turn feral attacking: humans, faunus, as well as other grimm it will go on a rampage until Naruto gains control again or when its killed.

Naruto's semblance allows for communication with wild grimm, so Naruto will talk to grimm from time to time.

Older grimm or multiple grimm are currently harder for Naruto to sustain and to keep under control.

Naruto currently cannot control more than one grimm at a time, yet there are two methods for her to boost her control both of which I will not disclose at the moment :).

So until then I will catch you on the flip side!
