Hello everyone. This is Gemmysaur with his third (not fourth, because my badass self just bothered to name the first chapter as chapter 0, silly me) chapter of Legendary. As always, excuse my faulty grammar and storytelling. I am trying… somehow… a bit… maybe… eh.

I own neither franchise; Naruto or RWBY.

Chapter 3: Sunspot

A five year old boy was running through the market district, his spikey, blond hair fluttering in the wind as his orange jacket that looked a little bit thick for the weather caught everyone's attention. The classes just finished and it was still a bit before sundown. He greeted everyone he passes with a little too much energy, like that of a kid in sugar rush, but the local folk greeted him back anyway though not as animated. Finally reaching the small store on the outer area of the shopping district, the boy entered and took in the familiar sight he comes to miss everyday due to him having enrolled in the Ninja Academy for a few weeks now.

The store was tiny but packed with goods to sell on shelves left, right and center, the clean, wooden interior giving a cozy feel that many customers prefer over the bustling supermarkets, the bench by the counter for the elderly or just simply for some small chatter between seller and consumer, and the smile on the cashier's face topping the simple but relaxed atmosphere. The boy shook his head and with a smile, greeted his mother behind the counter.

"I'm home mom! Did you have a hard time while I was gone?" the boy asked as he looked at his mother sitting on her wheelchair as she always did.

"I'm good Naru-chan. It was a bit busy today but I managed. There were a lot of people asking what time you will be home though. They kinda miss you since you're not here all day like before. How's school today?" His mother replied as she was restocking on some of her store's goods. Her vibrant red hair flowing behind her as she picked up a can from the pile on top of her legs to put on the shelf in front of her. She is wearing a white shirt and brown skirt that reaches halfway down her calf, topped with a plain green apron.

"I'm here after school and during the weekends so they won't be missing me that much. School's great! My classmates are all fun, like that dog guy or the bug guy or the fat guy or the lazy guy and the bushy brows guy, oh and Sakura-chan. They're really nice and they laugh a lot." Naru-chan or rather, Naruto answered back as he helped his mother with putting the cans in their shelves.

"I'm glad Naru-chan, but make sure to remember all their names next time, not just a girl who happens to catch your eye." Kushina, Naruto's mother remarks as she smirks at her son's cheeks suddenly turning red. After finishing up with the shelf she was working on, she turned her wheelchair over to her son and followed up, "By the way, my friend Mikoto, do you remember her? Maybe not. You met her once but maybe you were too young to actually remember. We rarely meet nowadays unlike five years ago but we had some small talk the other day. She said her son is studying in the academy as well. His name was Sasuke-kun, I think? Anyway, try to befriend him as well okay?"

"Okay mom. I hope he's as cool as the other guys, but not cool like that damned handsome in class with the black hair, eyes and blue shirt. That guy kinda rubs me the wrong way. I mean, girls were crying his name left and right but he's ignoring everyone. I think he's gay." Naruto said as he finished up with his work as well. He then turned to his mother. "What do you think mom?"

Kushina sweat drops at how her son described this stranger, only for her to remember how her friend Mikoto from the Uchiha clan described her own son. 'He has black hair, black eyes, wears blue casuals to match his older brother who has such preference and chooses to be silent as he'd rather study to catch up to his Itachi who graduated very early. He idolizes his brother like that.'

Kushina spoke in an awkward tone, "Naru-chan, I think that was Sasuke-kun. Please be nice to him and try to make friends with him. I think he's rather too idolizing of his big brother and needs more of his own age to interact with."

Naruto looked down and thought about this new information and sweat dropped. 'I have to be friends with a gay guy.' He shook his head, looked up to his mother again and answered, "Okay mom. I'll try to make friends with him. I'll try to make him straight as well. It'll be my first mission! Dattebayo!"

A knock on the storefront drew the mother and son's attention. They looked towards the source and saw a silver-haired young man with a heavy-lidded expression. His face three-quarters covered leaving only one eye. His clothing consisted of blue sleeveless, tight-fitting shirt that seemingly connects with his face mask, blue pants not unlike that of standard shinobi gear and arm-sleeves that matches with his clothing.

He spoke, "Yo, Kushi-nee, Naruto."

Kushina smiled at seeing her husband's former student in one of his rare day-offs as he works himself to the bone in both training and missions under the ANBU. She idly thought back to a few weeks after the Kyuubi attack and her husband's disappearance when she told Kakashi about his friend, Obito's involvement in it. Suffice to say he didn't take it well so he swore it to himself to get strong enough to protect his sensei's family and his remaining greatest loved ones. She was shaken out of her musings with her son's idle chatter that was just so animated and happy that it can only be described as Naru-chan being Naru-chan.

She looked to Kakashi who was doing his signature eye-smile that, to this day she could not understand how, as he listened to her son's endless talking. The man looked towards her and then towards her stock of goods, perishable and not. She noted that of course, his first course of action is to look at the books on the side that Minato's sensei, Jiraiya-sama practically begged her to sell for him. It was his favorite pastime even as a child. What he enjoyed from reading those books in public, she will never know. With a small sigh, she offered it to Kakashi.

"Naru-chan, you can change into something more indoor now. Kakashi-nii and I will be talking while we wait for you." She then looked towards the young man as she listened for her son going up to the second floor of their little shop and home and asked, "Anything else you wish to buy?"

Kakashi looked towards the stairs that Naruto disappeared at and waited till he was sure the boy would not hear, then looked around. Satisfied that no one will hear, he answered, "There's been some rumors circulating about the Uchiha planning a rebellion among the council. Apparently, due to the masked man's ability to control the Kyuubi, the higher ups are now skeptical of the Uchiha whose Sharingan allows for such feats. The Uchiha are getting annoyed of them being seen as suspects but as of the moment, their plans are unknown to me. The Sandaime is hard-pressed at keeping peace between Konoha and the founding clan. Oh, and some eggplants and miso like always if you will Kushi-nee."

She contemplated on his revelation and thoughts of her husband came up. 'What would you do Minato?' She snapped back to reality after a short moment and answered the silver-haired ANBU, "Continue your observation for now Kakashi-kun. We may not be able to do much but every little thing counts for the safety of the village. Hopefully, nothing bad would come to pass."

Naruto came back down wearing a black shirt with a red spiral in the middle and white shorts with a blue stripe on one side. He went straight for the duo of adults at the counter. "So, did Kakashi-nii order anything yet? He always takes so long to choose what he wants." Naruto half-stated, half-complained as he looked at the young man who could only offer a sweat drop and an awkward eye-smile that Naruto could never understand how he could make to convey so much emotion. He then looked expectantly at his mother for any work to do to which she smiled and conveyed to him Kakashi's order. After obtaining and packing the order, he gave it to the older boy and smiled towards his mother as he got a brilliant idea.

"Hey Kaa-chan, let's have Kakashi-nii for dinner. He's rarely here anyway, always going out on missions and stuff. When he returns or has some free time, he's usually walking somewhere he calls road of life, wherever that is." Kushina smiled warmly at his son's thoughtfulness. "You're right Naru-chan. Kakashi-kun owes us a lot of time to catch up on. You are staying right Kakashi-kun?"

Whatever answer the man had thought up to decline the offer was thrown to the wind as he saw the smiling faces of mother and child. 'It's just not fair how these two smile.' With those thoughts in mind, he shrugged and accepted the offer.

Legendary: Sunspot

It was a new school day and Sasuke idly wondered if he could skip it as he walked to school. 'The girls are annoying with all their shouting and screeching and… stalking…' he thought as he half-looked behind him. At least the guys he found bearable since they don't push anything. The dog boy was fine if stupid, the glasses guy looked smart, the green abomination with the massive eyebrows… was at least enthusiastic to learn, the lazy guy was at least smart, the fat one was… well… fat. The blonde kid however was just a rather peculiar sight. The boy was pretty bad with chakra control and always overcharges his jutsus well above the required amount of chakra but is pretty above average in everything else. He thought to himself, maybe the kid just had so much chakra that he can afford to do so. That would at least explain his constant hyperactivity, not that Sasuke had anything against that.

The eyesore was annoying, but he was unexpectedly something he looked forward to everyday. Not only were his antics immensely attention-catching that even his fangirls get distracted from continuing their… whatever they do, but the boy was also amusingly stupid in his own right, academics notwithstanding. It doesn't hurt that the boy was knowledgeable of things Sasuke doesn't even know of, like this Fuinjutsu he kept trying to explain to no avail to everyone. He remembered that one conversation the Uzumaki had with the other guys, not that he was listening in or anything, just that he was close enough to hear.

'Yeah, Fuinjutsu is really, really cool! Like seal-a-big-animal-in-your-stomach level of cool!' Naruto exclaimed proudly.

'Whatever Naruto, Choji can do that as well and he doesn't need Fooeyynjutsu!' A kid wearing a hood with a dog sleeping on top retorted.

'B-but that's not what I meant! I mean like a really big dog rabbit or something!' Naruto answered back.

'Ohhh, dog rabbit? Gotta get me some of that! Maybe dad will buy some for dinner.' A rotund boy with hair split down the middle, both spiked up in opposite directions.

'No Choji, there's no such thing as a dog rabbit. It's either a dog or a rabbit only.' A boy with long, black hair and entirely white eyes corrected the bulky boy, now named Choji.

'Well there are some bunnies I'd rather be seeing.' The hooded kid remarked with a glint in his eyes.

'Shut up Kiba! I sometimes wonder which one of you and Akamaru is the dog!' A blonde woman in a purple getup shouted to the hooded boy now named Kiba.

Thinking back, he gained nothing about that conversation to know better the capacity of Fuinjutsu. Oh he knew that it was being used in daily life. He has a lot of those storage scrolls at home, courtesy of his amazing older brother, but what the blonde hurricane of stupid was saying it can be used for far bigger things. Maybe he can get the guy to explain the underutilized branch of jutsus? Nah, too much hassle. He'd just ask the boy where he learned it. With his decision made, Sasuke waited for the bell to ring for recess before going to… sigh… talk with Naruto.

With the bell ringing, Sasuke made to stand to go to Naruto when he noticed that the guy was no longer there. He looked around towards his rear, eyes in search of the most hyperactive boy in the village but to no avail. He then looked the other way and was taken aback by the kid in question squatting on the table in front of him, staring intently at him as if judging him. 'How did he get there so fast?' The Uchiha asked himself but chalked it off to the guy being too full of energy.

"Hey, are you gay?" Sasuke was taken aback by this accusation, not noticing the fact that his "fangirls were raging at the resident clown. "Not that there's anything wrong with that. Being gay is cool and all-ttebayo. It's just that… are you?"

This guy's accusation really pissed him off. Not that he doesn't understand where he's coming from considering his ignoring of his official fanclub with official pins and stuff but still! He was about to retort the insult born of curiosity when he noticed the blonde in front of him getting wide-eyed as his face fell closer to his.

Closer.

Closer.

Closer – their eyes widening…

Closer – their lips almost touching…

Closer – one's breath is being felt by the other…

When the Uzumaki was pushed away by one of the girls performing a dive bomb on him. Sasuke looked down to see which of his fangirls did it when he was surprised it was someone he was sure wasn't part of his group of stalkers – Hyuuga Hinata. The young Uchiha breathe a sigh of relief at almost but thankfully not losing his first kiss to a dumbass blonde. He stood to thank the younger Hyuuga in class but stopped himself when he saw her getting up flushed redder than his clan's famed Sharingan, then running out of the room all teary-eyed. He then looked down on his classmate that got tackled with all the force of a little girl albeit with superhuman physical capacity. Clearly it looked more painful than it sounded but he was thankful all the same. He then heard someone from in front of his seat and looks toward the boy in question, Nara Shikamaru.

"Ah, sorry. I was drowsy and I must've hit him when I yawned. Question though, how did he fall sidewards and not towards you if I hit him?" Sasuke blinked. Oh. Damn.

Naruto finally woke up on a white bed. He looked around confused as to where he was when he remembered the previous events before he blacked out. The memory nearly made him puke in his mouth but managed to rein himself in. Looking around, he saw yellow curtains hanging on the window by his bed, lavender-ish white curtains that serve to separate his bed from the others, a simple wooden table by the bed with a glass of water on top, pale blue walls with no decoration whatsoever and brown tiles for the floor. He can pretty much guess he's in the school clinic and from the looks of the sky he can see from the window beside his bed, he missed lunch and is probably time to go home. He made to stand and wear his sandals when the doors opened and revealed Kiba, Choji, Shikamaru, Ino-chan, Sakura-chan, a cute chick with pure white eyes and face the color of his mom's hair, and oddly enough, the person he totally didn't want to see at the moment.

Naruto just being Naruto, he shot his mouth like a bolt of lightning, saying the first things that appeared in his mind. "Look man, I just wanna say I don't swing that way… I think. I-I mean it was totally an accident!"

"Suuuuure Naruto, sure. ~" The hooded dog boy said as he was elbowed by the blonde girl in purple beside him.

Shikamaru decided it's a pain to make it longer than it ought to be, he apologized, "Sorry Naruto. I didn't notice you behind me when I leaned back and… yeah. Sorry."

Naruto blinked, Sasuke looked away, the cute white-eyed chick's face grew an even more intense shade of red and Kiba laughed his ass off. Then, it all clicked in the blonde boys head and he turned red as well. "It was you!?"

To the group's confusion, Naruto sighed in relief instead of exploded in anger and embarrassment. "Hahaha! At least I know now that I'm not gay. Ahhh, that's a relief."

The others could only sweat drop at his words while the raven-haired Uchiha palmed his face with the intensity of a real man. Their conversations continued on for a little while with nothing notable happening except for Sasuke being grabbed left and right by Ino and Sakura respectively, the little Hinata passing out after Naruto walked towards her to have a little chat like he does with everyone else, and Kiba getting beat up by the girls after an inappropriate comment. And thus, the day ended on a good mood… except for Sasuke.

Legendary: Sunspot

The days passed by so fast for one Uchiha Sasuke as he looked outside, visibly bored out of his mind with the lesson. The classes are very basic for his tastes and he has to catch up to his brother somehow. It's been a year and a half since he started attending the Ninja Academy and so far, they haven't taught him any jutsu he doesn't already know. No wonder his brother graduated very early. Speaking of which, Itachi nowadays very rarely hung out with him as the older Uchiha sibling got accepted in the ANBU under the leadership of Kakashi of the Sharingan himself. Loathe himself to admit, the man may not be an Uchiha and thus should not have any right to have their prized Dojutsu, but his capabilities speak volumes of his worthiness of the legendary eye.

Sasuke looked to the side, past the annoying pinkette staring at him, at his classmate for last year, this year and for the next few years, Uzumaki Naruto. The boy was taking private lessons on Fuinjutsu, something he was very envious of. He then looked towards the other table, a brown-haired boy with entirely white eyes, wearing a traditional blue kimono. The Hyuuga's own genius boy was paying great attention to the teacher but Sasuke figured said boy must've known everything about what was being taught as well. He looked at everyone else and they are at the very least trying and failing to listen attentively save for a few who don't care at all like the Nara boy who nearly made him kiss Naruto, The fat kid who is even now eating chips and Naruto himself who is too busy writing something.

It's been a few months since he tried and failed to ask the blonde where he learns Fuinjutsu. He didn't try again for a long while as the awkward atmosphere between them still hung like the smell of dogs on Kiba. It also doesn't help that his "fanclub" kept trying to keep him away from the Uzumaki. And so he layed low for a while, working harder on his own training given by his father, Fugaku. Now that things are finally normal enough that his fanclub isn't trying to filter who he talks to, he resolved to once again trying to ask Naruto once the bell rung for dismissal.

Once the signal for going home went off, he stood up to talk to the blonde when he found that the boy was already rushing home as he always does. Sasuke doesn't know why that is but it's annoying as it doesn't help his furthering of studies. He ran to catch up to Naruto and noticed that they were headed to the commercial district. 'Is he going shopping?' The thought ran through the Uchiha's head but ignored it as he could care less. He saw the boy stop at a small store at the edge of the district and entered after him. He saw Naruto stop by the counter and called him before he could do anything else.

"Naruto!" The sunkissed blonde turned around and saw him with questioning eyes.

"What's up Sasuke? Wait! Did your harem come here as well!?" Naruto questioned as he looked around in panic.

"No, I came alone. I wanted to ask you something for a long time now." Sasuke contemplated on how that may have sounded a bit wrong but pushed it away. Surely the guy in front of him could read his expression enough not to make any wrong impression right?

"No I'm not gay and I don't think I ever will! Not that there's anything wrong with that but still!" Apparently not.

"Not that dobe! I was gonna ask where you are learning Fuinjutsu dumbass!" Sasuke retorted rather quickly… and manly.

"Oh. Ohhhhhh. Okay my bad. Uhhh yeah, about that. I got it from my mom but I learn very, very slowly since she says my penmanship is bad." Naruto looked towards the counter and saw that the woman in question came out from the back, likely after hearing all the shouting.

"Oh, Sasuke-kun right? Naru-chan, you didn't tell me you'll be bringing a friend. How have you been Sasuke-kun? How has your mother been?" A redhead in a wheelchair that Sasuke had never seen came and greeted him. That was likely because he rarely goes to this part of Konoha and that he wouldn't bother with coming to a tiny store like this.

Sensing his distress, the woman spoke up again. "Oh my bad. You must not really know me since the last time I saw you, you were just a baby. My name is Uzumaki Kushina, Naru-chan's mother and Mikoto's friend from when we were in the academy."

Sasuke could only nod at that minor revelation and saved it in his memory for the future as he had more important concerns at the moment. "Uzumaki-san, would you teach me Fuinjutsu as well?"

The older woman smiled and nodded. "Only if you be good friends with Naru-chan, sure."

The raven-haired Uchiha's eye twitched as he looked towards the boy in question smiling at him and at the situation. Still, though the boy was an annoyance, he was a good kind of annoyance he guessed. Doesn't hurt the fact that he would be a fellow student to share knowledge in Fuinjutsu with if ever.

"Okay Uzumaki-san, I accept." And with a barely audible whisper under his breath, "begrudgingly."

He saw her smile brightly at his answer, her hands coming together in a clap and took his hand in hers. "It's a deal then. Let's start in the weekends since I'm rather busy during the weekdays."

He looked around the store and noticed that it was devoid of customers, earning a sweat drop from him at the older woman's words. And with that, Sasuke was satisfied with his interactions for the day and was ready to get home for training but he was stopped.

"Sasuke-kun, would you like to buy something?" The glint he saw in her eyes made him feel like he should've brought his entire allowance today. In the end, he spent more for the day than he did in a week. But at least he gets Fuinjutsu training right? At least he gets something his brother is not well-versed in.

In the middle of the night outside of Konoha, a few hundred kilometers or so away from the village walls stood a hooded man. He looked at a certain inconspicuous spot for quite a while as he seemed deep in thought. The man in the black hood that only showed his blue sandals looked behind him as if sensing someone or something arriving – and someone did. The hooded man looked towards the treeline where another man, a far older man also hooded to hide his features.

The old man spoke, "So this is the rift huh?" His spikey white hair flowing out of the hood swaying in the wind, his red armor tempered with age and battle underneath the black cloth clinked with his movements as he walked, red eyes with three tomoe regarded the same spot the first hooded man looked at earlier.

"Yes." That was all the hooded man ever said as he pulled down his hood, revealing a head of red hair. Looking up removed the shadows that covered his features and revealed white eyes with multiple layered rings.

AN:

I'm a bit crossed with this chapter but at the very least, we see the other side, some things here and there and my first attempt at comedy. Hopefully, it didn't come out as stupid or something. Slice of life a bit there for the most part but yeah. On another note, POVs are hard. Any thoughts on that and how to improve or something? I'm not confident with mine.

Nothing really more to say. Comments and constructive criticisms? Please. Thank you.
