A metallic room remained eerily quiet as no one was present at the moment. The room was large in space, and was several meters high. All around the room giant metal gears were hung, and intertwined. All moving together, and making loud clunking noises. To the far end of the room a half circular table faced an elevator on the other side of the room. The desk was empty, and the only thing a person could see was the digital screen that was it's surface. Behind the desk a large circular window allowed the beaming sun to shine its rays into the room.

"DING"

Across the room the elevator's light lit up, and the sound of an elevator coming up could be heard. A thundering thump could be heard as the elevator reached the top. The doors to the elevator opened revealing no one. The goldish room lay empty, but suddenly the sounds of steps echoed through the room. The elevator closed, and the steps could be heard reaching the desk. The footsteps stopped behind the desk, and the chair was pulled back by an invisible force.

The space around the chair distorted, and a person in a black cloak and red clouds became visible. The hood was carefully pulled off revealing Naruto's smirking face. Naruto shook his hair around, and sat down in the chair. Naruto stretched his arms, and revealed a new orange hilted katana around his waist.

Naruto then reached into the back of his waist, and pulled out a small flash drive. Looking around the desk, he poked the flash drive into a USB drive. He then tapped his finger on the desk, and small 3D screen appeared before him. Naruto begun to type furiously, and his eyes darted across the screen. Naruto took a deep sigh, and he whispered, "I knew he wouldn't leave any information on his computer."

Naruto pulled out the flash drive, and put it back into his pocket. He turned off the computer, and swirled around in the chair. He looked out the window, and took a deep sigh. Naruto had believed that sneaking into Ozpin's office would have been a bit more difficult, but Ozpin probably never imagined that someone of Naruto's skill would try to break in.

Naruto started to play with his the spare modified katana he had gotten from home, and took it out to admire the black blade. Naruto hated to admit it, but Winter was amazing at making weapons. Naruto had only given her the layout of his ideas, and she turned it into a reality. Hopefully she wouldn't be too mad for leaving her behind and coming ahead.

"BOOM!"

Naruto stood up from his chair, and looked out of his window to look down at Beacon's courtyard. Naruto pressed his face against the glass as he stared down at the most bizarre situation he'd ever imagine. Two figures were climbing up the arches around Beacon, and battling it out in a fantastic fashion. That didn't make the situation odd, what made it mind boggling were the two familiar figures that were battling it out.

Naruto rubbed his eyes as he stared at Winter and Qrow fighting it out like children. Naruto gave out a hearty laugh, and fell back into his chair. Winter always chided him about public appearances, and there she was fighting Qrow. Naruto stopped his laugh, and wiped off the tears from his eye. Qrow had probably ended up provoking her….again.

Naruto looked back down, and noticed that he'd missed most of the fight. The two stood still as several people surrounded them. Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood were among the people. However, what caught Naruto's eyes were not them, but the two girls off to the side. Naruto could describe the white haired girl as a carbon copy of Winter. The only difference was maybe the shape of their face, and the way they brushed their hair. Then next to her stood Ruby, who made Naruto crack a smile. Now she was the carbon copy of Summer, and Naruto couldn't help but compare the two.

Naruto felt it was ironic that they would end up on the same team just like Naruto and Winter had. He watched as Qrow walked over to Ruby, and told her a couple of words before following Ozpin back towards Beacon. Naruto closed his eyes, and took long deep breaths as he awaited them. Naruto remained in his seated positioned facing the window for several minutes. Then dinging of the elevator brought him back to reality. The elevator could be heard coming up, and the moment it reached the floor Naruto's eyes snapped open. Naruto turned his chair around, and pulled up his hood. He pressed a button underneath, and he quickly became invisible.

"Winter, we're gonna have long discussion after this." spoke a deep voice as a man in a white uniform walked out of the elevator. Naruto watched as Winter walked closed behind with a hint of fatigue on her face, "Of course, Sir."

Naruto remained silent as he did not want to be discovered by General Ironwood. His issue wasn't with him. He just watched as the man stood in front of the table, and Winter paced back forth anxiously. Naruto rose an eyebrow wondering what could have occurred. They stood there for a few minutes, when Naruto heard the elevator turn on again. Shortly the elevator reopened and Ozpin, Glynda, and Qrow walked out.

"What were you thinking?" growled Winter as she stopped mid pace, and glared at Qrow. Naruto watched half amused as the man gave her a stink eye. Then Ironwood walked from his spot, and barked, "If you were one of my men, I'd have you shot!"

"If I was one of your men I would shoot myself," quipped Qrow as he pulled out a flask. Naruto let out a snort as he couldn't help but react to Qrow's blunt remark. That's when the room went silent, and Naruto quickly remembered that he was invisible. Everyone in the room quickly pulled out their weapons, and faced the invisible Naruto. Ironwood was the quickets to pull out his gun, and point it at Naruto.

"Hold your panties, General." protested Naruto as he stuck out his arm from underneath the cloak. Then in a matter of seconds his red clouded black cloak became visible to all of them. Naruto quickly took off his hood, and revealed himself. Drawing gasps from several of the people in the room.

"Howdy."

Goodwitch quickly moved forward, and shrilled, "Naruto?"

"Hey, Naruto," chimed Qrow as he took a chug from his flask, not quite surprised by Naruto's random appearance.

"Naruto." growled Winter as she focused her anger now on him. Ironwood put down his weapon, and he looked back at Ozpin who looked just as shocked.

"Ozpin, I thought you had better control over your soldiers. It's enough that you let Qrow be such a loose cannon, but now Naruto?" questioned the General as he directed his frustration at Ozpin. "Is this the norm for your soldiers? For them to go out of contact for weeks, and just appear out of the blue?"

Ozpin ignored Ironwood for moment, and he directed his attention to Naruto. Then he croaked, "Naruto, where have you been, and what happened in Mistral?"

"Naruto we had to declare you M.I.A!" added in Goodwitch as her eyes misted up, "We thought…."

"I'd die?" replied Naruto as he closed his eyes, and then looked back at Ozpin. He narrowed them, and he continued, "You underestimate me….I suppose that's the norm around here, if there is to be any."

"As for you General, I would like for you to remove yourself, my beef isn't with you." disclosed Naruto, as he activated his sharingan. Then he redirected his attention to Ozpin, "As for you, we have a lot to discuss, and I depending on your answers I may or may not continue working for you."

"What?" gasped Ozpin completely not understanding the situation, "What are you talking about Naruto?"

"Remove myself? Who the hell do you think you are?" hollered Ironwood as he felt insulted by Naruto's attitude and comment. "I'll-"

In the blink of an eye Naruto unsheathed his katana, and cut a piece of Ironwood's uniform off. He then glared at the general, and he threatened, "Do what."

"Naruto! Stop this nonsense!" shouted Winter, "I know you're mad, but think carefully before you attack anyone."

"MAD?" screamed Naruto as he pointed his katana at Ozpin, whom Qrow and Glynda stood behind him protectively. Completely baffled by the situation just as much as Ozpin himself, "NO SHIT, I'M MAD!"

"I'VE BEEN DOING YOUR FUCKING WORK FOR YEARS!" He wailed, "I'M TIRED OF YOU KEEPING SHIT FROM ME!"

"What are you talking about Naruto?" asked Ozpin as he stood completely perplexed about the situation, "What have I kept from you?"

Naruto gritted his teeth before recalling, "YOU KNOW WHAT OZPIN! NEVER LETTING ME IN ON WHY I DO WHAT I DO! YOU KEEP TELLING ME IT'S HAS A PURPOSE BUT NEVER SAY IT. WHAT PISSES ME EVEN MORE OFF IS THAT YOU HAD THE BALLS TO THROW ME INTO THE LION'S DEN WITHOUT TELLING ME ABOUT THE FUCKING LION!"

"Naruto…." Ozpin whispered as he finally got an idea of what Naruto was talking about. Ozpin was not the only one as Qrow and Glynda exchanged a look, and also realized what he was talking about.

Then Naruto disappeared from everyone's view. Ozpin's eyes darted behind him, and in an instant pulled out his cane and blocked Naruto's strike. Ozpin took a step back as he took the full strength of Naruto's attack. Then Naruto raged, "TELL ME OZPIN! WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME ABOUT SALEM!"

Ironwood was the first to react as he pulled out his revolver, and shot several shots. The shots zoomed over Ozpin's head, and hit Naruto straight in the chest. Blood poured out from his wounds as Naruto fell back. Naruto fell back in slow motion, and the blood that had shot out remained hanging in the air. That's when everything around Naruto became incredibly dark, and all at once the image of Naruto shattered like glass.

"Nice shot."

Everyone in the room turned to face the sound of the noise, and looked straight at Naruto still sitting in Ozpin's chair. Qrow relaxed as he watched Naruto sit passively in the chair all anger gone from his face, but the rest of the occupants in the room kept their weapons out Naruto then looked over at Ozpin, and seethed, "So? What averting answer do you have now?"

"Naruto, what happened?" asked Ozpin as he put his can back down to his side.

"Answer my question first."

"It's complicated."

"We have time." retorted Naruto as he got comfortable in the chair. Ozpin pinched his nose, and he looked up at Naruto, "I just wanted to keep you safe, Naruto."

"By withdrawing crucial information? Good job Ozpin," jeered Naruto, and with that he started clapping. Glynda gave Naruto a glare, but she said nothing as Ozpin continued, "No, I was keeping you safe from Salem. I didn't….want to make the same mistake twice."

"Explain." demanded Naruto as the words quickly sank in, not having an idea of where the conservation was going. "What do you mean by making the same mistake twice?"

"He means that he didn't want you to die like, Summer." burst out Qrow as he took out his flask, and took a long drink. Obviously trying to get rid of the stress that the situation was causing him. Naruto remained silent, and then he looked back at Ozpin. Ozpin nodded, and he moved towards Naruto.

Ozpin came face to face, and that's when he put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, "10 years ago, I sent Summer on a mission to gather intel on Salem…..she was unsuccessful, and she managed to learn nothing. But….Salem did learn something….she discovered that Summer was in possession of the Sharingan."

"Salem would never admit this, but she holds those with silver eyes in high regard." informed Ozpin, "And with that comes a great fear for them as well….The moment she learned of Summer's existence she tried multiple times to kill her. Then one year later….."

"Summer went missing in action." finished Naruto as he stared Ozpin in the eyes, and could see that the man was not lying. Naruto could see the wrinkles in the man's face, and could tell how tired he was even though he did a good job hiding it.

Ozpin then looked over at the rest of the people in the room, and then back at Naruto. Then he went on, "We all wanted to let you know what was really going on. After all there is little doubt in our minds that you are the most powerful individual in this at the same time we feared that you would go looking after Salem….to avenge your sister."

"Look at what you did to Clepta after Ember's death." added Qrow in a solemn tone, "You slaughtered every single one….Torchwick was lucky he hadn't been inducted to the group."

"I'm sorry to admit it Naruto, but your a loose cannon when it come to the people you love." offered Glynda as she walked over to him, and grabbed his arm, "It wasn't because we distrusted you, but it was because we didn't want to see you walk down a path of self destruction."

Naruto pushed Glynda off his arm, and she gave a sadden look as Naruto took a step back. He looked over Qrow, and he shook his head, "So you guys knew all along too?"

Qrow and Glynda said nothing, and a look of disbelief dawned on Naruto's face. Naruto continued to shake his head as he looked at everyone in the room, and he moved away from them. Naruto then argued, "Well, thanks for the concern, but being ignorant of the situation nearly got me killed! I'm glad to fucking know that all the people I've ever looked up to like to keep fucking secrets. I suppose you all go around my back, and have little tea parties to discuss what we'll lie to Naruto next?"

"NARUTO!" screamed Winter as she had remained silent during the whole ordeal, but chosen the moment to speak, "You're blinded by your anger! They get it that you're mad, but will it do you any good to stay angry?"

"She's right Naruto, " agreed Ironwood as he stood tall, "While I do agree that it was rather foolish of Ozpin to let you out of the ordeal, you need to calm down. I have no doubt that you have probably put the entire puzzle by now, and know of the threat we face. It is important for us to work together, and put aside our differences….no matter how much we may disagree."

"Wow, I didn't know that you had fiber in you body, capable of reason, Jimmy." jeered Qrow as he gave a sly smile, but was quickly shot down by Glynda's dirty look. Ironwood ignored the comment, and he added, "So, why don't you tell us exactly what you discovered? I'm sure you didn't spend all that time away just twiddling your thumbs…..As Ozpin said….there isn't a doubt that you are the most powerful individual in this room. So, tell us….what did you discover?"

"Always so quick to the point, General," muttered Naruto, as he gave Ironwood a calculated look. His eyes darted between the rest of the occupants, and he let out a sigh, "I suppose you are right….I can't fight Salem alone. However, know that the trust that we had between us is gone."

"I will only tell you what I found, if you answer the questions that I was unable to find the answers too." offered Naruto as he looked at Ozpin. Ozpin nodded, and he looked over at Ironwood who also seemed to agree with Naruto's resolution.

Ozpin reached down to pick up the mug of coffee he had dropped, and dusted it down. He looked back up at Naruto, and replied, "What do you want to know?"

"Where is Amber?"

The room became silent as Ironwood gave Ozpin a nervous look, and Ozpin took a deep breath. Qrow looked over at Winter, and then he answered, "I believe before we discuss anything Miss little Ice Princess should leave."

"I believe not, whether you like it or not I've already told Winter the entire situation with the Four Maidens and the Four Relics."

Winter gritted her teeth as she suddenly felt the overwhelming glare from Ironwood. Obviously suspecting that Winter had been in contact with Naruto, and didn't report it. Qrow glanced at Ozpin, who said nothing, and continued, "Alright then….Amber was attacked several months ago. Whoever attacked her managed to steal a portion of her power."

"Wh-what?" stammered Naruto as his eyes widen in surprise, "Did you say steal her power?...But that should be impossible….according the writing the only way to steal the power is by murdering the Maiden, and being the last one in their thoughts."

"Well, she might as well be as good as dead," muttered Ironwood, "She's only still alive do to new Atlas technology, and even with that we are not sure how much longer she will stay alive."

"Did you say writings?" asked Ozpin as he gave Naruto a curious look. Naruto shook his head, "I'm still not done with my questions Ozpin."

Ozpin remained silent as he knew he was treading on thin ice, and he responded, "Then please do continue."

"Who attacked her."

Qrow answered again, "That's the problem….we don't know. But I am certain that the assailant is here. And they are planning their next move just as we speak."

"How do you know that?"

"I was there when they attacked Amber. I wasn't able to get a good luck of their face, but I know they they're desperate to get ahold of the other half of the power." concluded Qrow, "The recent attacks on Vale are only a sign of desperate attempts by using the White Fang and Torchwick. If anything I believe it's a cover up to keep us distracted from what they are really after, Amber."

"I see." said Naruto as several thoughts were running through his head. Pieces of information that he was lacking before were helping him form a picture. There was no doubt in his mind now.

"Your turn."

Naruto looked over at Qrow who had spoken. Naruto sat back in his chair, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"You can start by explaining what exactly happened in Mistral." demanded Ozpin as he was still curious of the ordeal.

Naruto spoke, "It was just like you said, Oz. They were cultivating dust….but it was an odd type of dust that I've never seen before. Things were going well, and I even managed to steal a sample and started to initiate my plan of escape. When…."

"Salem appeared alongside a bodyguard." finished Naruto, "She saw right through my disguise, and ordered her bodyguard to kill me. However, he wasn't much of threat as I killed him with little effort. Salem….became rather interested in me and started to ask me several questions….she demanded to know exactly what I knew of the four told me everything. Then she proceeded to fight me."

"And?" asked Ironwood as he was extremely curious of their greatest enemy who'd they knew nothing about.

Naruto sighed, as he rolled up his pant leg, and revealed a reddened scar, "I tried to flee because I knew my intel was too valuable to try to fight an unknown enemy. She tried killing me

with some black substance, but only managed to graze me. However, my wounds have yet to fully heal, they've taken time even with my healing semblance."

"What did you do next?" asked Glynda.

"When I met Salem, I instantly felt like I'd seen her before. It wasn't until a few days after the fight that I remembered meeting her once before."

"You knew Salem?" asked Ozpin in utter shock, "But how?"

"That doesn't answer my question though!" reminded Glynda as she wanted to know where her adopted son had gone too.

"But it does. Because of that there was only one choice, and that was to return to the place where I first met her."

Winter finally gave a perplexed look as she hadn't been told this part of the story. Naruto's sharingan resurfaced, and they begun to spin widly. Very soon everyone watched as the room transformed, and they were no longer in Ozpin's office.

Instead they were in an open clearing out in the woods. The place had several trees that were extremely tall, and had trunks that were several feet thick. Several orange, red, and yellow leaves rained down signifying the time of Autumn.

"Amazing," muttered Ironwood as he'd never experienced one of Naruto's memories before. Everyone else stood just as impressed, but did not share the same level of surprise as James. That's when the sound of fighting caught their attention. Two figures burst out from the trees right into the middle of the clearing.

"I'll destroy you, Granny Tsunade!" screamed a miniature Naruto who had a katana in his hand. He held the weapon exceptionally even though he was only six. The entire group watched as A very beautiful blond woman stood in front of him with a very angry smile. She wore a green kimono shirt with matching brown pants and short black heels. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and from her neck dangled a black key.

"Naruto, what's the point of this?" asked Ozpin as he was confused with the whole memory.

"Just watch."

With that they watched as 6 year old Naruto attacked Tsunade. Naruto attacked Tsunade very quickly, but she proved to be too much of a match for him. Without ever moving from her spot she pulled out a thick needle, and blocked all of his attacks. Then when young Naruto let his guard down for just a second, Tsunade just flicked his forehead and sent him flying in the opposite direction.

Young Naruto landed on the ground hard, and gritted his teeth as pain shot through his entire body. Tsunade calmly walked over to him, and boasted, "You still have a long way to go, brat."

"Can it, Granny! One day I'll be stronger than you, and I'll beat your ass into the ground!" screamed the young boy. Tsunade responded by punching his head into the ground, and shouting, "OH YEAH! If you don't watch it with this granny crap, THERE WON'T BE THAT ONE DAY!"

"Lady Tsunade!"

Everyone turned to see a man dressed in a dark hooded cloak, and animal mask appear from the trees. The man kneeled in the presence of Tsunade, and reported, "My Lady….Grimm have managed to get inside the village!"

"That's impossible! The walls were still perfectly fine this morning!"

The masked man shook his head furiously, "They did not come from the walls. Some black substance began falling into the middle of the village, and from that pit of darkness Grimm appeared."

"Did you say a black substance? Like a thick liquid of sorts?"

"Yes."

Tsunade remained silent for several seconds, when her neck snapped to the side and finally looked over at young Naruto. They all watched the terror in Tsunade's eyes that appeared for a brief second, and then she looked back over at the masked man, "I want you to gather a team of the best ANBU you can gather. I have no doubt that a woman dressed in black shall appear. I need you to stall her, in order to evacuate the villagers and allow me to ready myself."

"It shall be done, Lady Tsunade."

The people inside Naruto's memory watched as the man turned around, and in a blur disappeared back into the woods. Tsunade then looked over at Naruto, and grabbed his hand, "Naruto come with me, there is an important job I have for you."

With that the memory faded into darkness, and for a moment everything around Naruto and the huntsmen went dark. Then quickly the light returned, and they were now standing in an enormous stone temple. They watched as Tsunade entered the temple quickly with Young Naruto in her arms. Tsunade dropped Naruto on the ground, and urged him to follow. They ran across the temple floor, and they reached an alter. Several statues surrounded a large stone with several marks, and a hole in the middle.

Tsunade reached underneath her shirt, and pulled out a metallic black key. Very quickly she pressed the key into hole, and Naruto watched as the markings lit up on the rock. Then very slowly the rock begun to tremble, and it crumbled into dust. A bright green light blinded the room for a fraction of a second, and Naruto gasped as a green necklace dangled in the air.

Tsunade grabbed the necklace, and quickly pulled it closely to her chest. The group from

Beacon watched from the side as Tsunade closed her eyes, and whispered a prayer. She then turned around, and put the necklace on Naruto's neck. She then tucked it underneath his shirt hiding it from view.

"Naruto….you have to promise me that no matter what, you will do all in your power to protect that necklace. It's an artifact that has been passed down my family, and is extremely valuable. Promise me Naruto….you will protect it."

"But Granny? Why are you giving me this? Shouldn't you be fighting the grimm?"

asked the scared 6 year old as he had no idea what was going on. Tsunade responded by grabbing him by the shoulders, and repeating, "Naruto! Please just promise me! No matter what happened you will keep this Jewel safe!"

"But-"

"NO BUTS! Naruto….there's no easy way to say this, but after today the Village Hidden in the Leaves will cease to exist." revealed Tsunade as a tear rolled down her cheek, "I-I'm not strong enough to stop her….the only thing I can do is slow her down. To give you and the rest of the villagers enough time to escape."

"But you're the strongest Granny." cried Naruto as the he begun to cry as reality crashed down on him. Tsunade pulled Naruto close, and gave him a kiss on the forehead, "I am not….but you….are capable of things only spoken in legends….I don't care if you are of the Uchiha bloodline, you've always been like the son I never had. I love you, Naruto."

"Granny!" wailed Naruto as he hugged Tsunade. Tsunade broke the hug quickly, and then grabbed his katana, and put it in his arms. She reached into her pocket, and handed Naruto a map, "There's a town not too far from here. Go there, and stay hidden. There is no doubt in my mind that Summer will find you there. After that train hard, Naruto, I just know that you will make an excellent Huntsman."

"BOOM!"

The entrance to the temple exploded, and debris and dust went flying everywhere. Tsunade grabbed Naruto, and tossed him toward the corner of the temple.

"She's here already?" shrieked Tsunade before looking back at Naruto, "Naruto, go through the back door, and head for Tempus!"

Ozpin, Naruto, Qrow, Winter, Goodwitch and Ironwood all watched as the young Naruto raced towards the back exit. That's when they watched for a brief second as Salem appeared from the debris, and a bunch of dark marks begun to invade Tsunade's skin.

"Senju….I should've known you tree hugger lot was in possession of the fourth relic."

That was the last thing they all heard as young Naruto had finally left the building, and no longer in vicinity of the fight. With that the Naruto, Winter, Ozpin, Ironwood, Qrow, and Glynda exited the memory, and were abruptly returned to reality.

They all stood silent in the room, and didn't say a word. Naruto looked over at Glynda, and watched as she covered her mouth in order to surprise her emotions. Naruto then looked over at Ozpin who pushed his glasses up from falling off, and he confessed, "It's unfortunate to say, but I would've never guessed you were more intertwined in this just as much as any of us."

"So-So, you're in possession of one of THE relics?" asked Ironwood as he walked over to Naruto. Naruto casually reached under his shirt, and pulled out the green jewel to show to everyone. Qrow let out a loud laugh, and he sneered, "To think that one of the relics we sought after so much was hanging right under our noses…..literally."

"We-we need to secure it immediately!" stammered Ironwood as he moved to grab it, but Naruto quickly drew his katana. Ozpin was the first to react, and stated, "We shall not be doing of such, Ironwood. Whether we like it or not Naruto is the current owner of the relic, and has been trusted by….his predecessors to protect it. I see no problem with him having it as long as we don't let any of this information slip to anyone else."

"Ozpin's right." agreed Glynda as she voiced her opinion, "We've seen the jewel like a hundred times, and not once have we realized that it was a relic. I doubt the enemy does either, so it is best if it stays with Naruto. After all, I doubt there is no safe that is safe enough to protect something of this calibre."

Ironwood clenched his fists obviously not agreeing with the situation, but stepped down as he found it hard to argue the logic. Ironwood snapped, "Alright, but the moment he shows that he is incapable of protecting the relic, I will be taking it."

Naruto rolled his eyes, and went back to facing the rest in the room. Naruto spoke, "After fighting Salem I seemed to have reawaken that repressed memory…. I admit for the longest time I pushed that memory far into my unconscious."

"That's why after fighting Salem, I decided to return to my village. I searched the village for clues, and eventually found writing of a hidden temple created by clan." explained Naruto, "It was difficult to find, but I finally managed to piece together the clues and found it. In that temple were hundreds of writings, and that is where I learned everything."

"Maybe I should visit this temple?" offered Qrow as he looked at Ozpin, "I could probably find something Naruto missed."

"Impossible," answered Naruto as he looked over at Qrow, "The village is hidden by very powerful illusions, and even if you were able to get past the barriers. The writings can only be ready by someone in possession of the sharingan."

Qrow gave a frown, and Naruto reached into his back pocket. He then tossed a scroll at Ozpin who caught the object with ease. Naruto then turned around, and headed towards the elevator, "That's….most of the information I managed to translate, and should be useful."

"Where are you going?" demanded Ironwood as he called out to Naruto, "We need to go over this information, and plan our next course of action."

"Just because I'm giving you information doesn't mean I trust you. I told you that I can't

win this battle without you, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be working under you." responded Naruto as he pressed the button to open the elevator, "Prove to me why I should trust you again, and then maybe I'll consider joining your little social club."

Naruto walked into the elevator, and turned around to face the front. He then added, "I'll be in Vale for a couple of days, so I shouldn't be hard to find. Contact me if any baddies show up."

With that the elevator closed, and Naruto was gone. Winter who'd just been watching and listening felt a bit overwhelmed as she knew she didn't belong there. Ironwood looked over at Ozpin, and shook his head, "That boy….I hate to admit it, but he's a complete genius."

Ozpin said nothing as he finally managed to find his way to his seat. Where he sat down, and looked back at Ironwood, "That he is."

A/N
WHAT UP! Hope you enjoyed that chapter. Not so much action, but a lot of good exposition. Just to let you know I have already finished Chapter 5. I just need to edit it, and fix it up a little. I'll probably post it in a couple days, and don't expect a lot of action either. But I ask my readers to be patient, because shit will be going down in CHAPTER 6! Not season 3 finale crazy, but shit will be good. I know I'm spoiling a lot, but I'm bursting with ideas and I just had to tease you guys. Thanks for the much support, and I hope you all keep enjoying my story.
