Chapter 4

Standing at the cliff in silence, Naruto stood beside Ozpin, the two stood admiring the forest before them with Kurama sitting on Naruto's shoulders, napping.

"Feeling better that you blew off steam yesterday?" Ozpin questioned with the blonde turning to him with a smile.

"Yep" Naruto spoke with his smile becoming feral, lightly punching Ozpin in the arm the two shared a small laugh.

Standing in silence, Naruto took notice to three presents behind him and Ozpin, turning his eyes took the sight of an adult Taiyang standing with a smile as two teenaged girls stood at either side of him, the one to instantly get his attention was the Raven replica, albeit with black hair and a few blonde streaks in it, seeing both Ruby and Yang, Ruby had eyes of recognition to the adult Uzumaki's face, looking down in shame Naruto went to speak until he was engulfed in a hug, making him "Oof" at the human missile that was Ruby, looking down the Uzumaki held her with his own tears falling at hearing the girl sob, caressing the girls hair he looked up to see Yang standing beside Tai with a studying look, narrowing her eyes before she took notice to the ring on the necklace.

"Whose the ring from?" the girl questioned with Naruto looking down to his chest where the necklace hung loosely.

"Your mother… gave it to me on our wedding day obviously" Naruto said with the semi-blonde walking forward she was forced to look up with indifferent eyes before joining her half sister in the embrace, hugging the two Yang spoke.

"Why did you leave us?" Yang questioned with a quivering voice, making Naruto's eyes water as he kissed them both on the forehead.

"It doesn't matter now… daddies here"

Hours later

To say after the Initiation, Naruto couldn't have been prouder, of both his daughters, seeing them with their teams he saw the near shit eating grin on Yang's face as Ruby was elected leader, but when his eyes landed on the one known as Weiss Schnee his eyes narrowed to the hidden stare he once gained from a distant rival, but seeing the girl in Black, Blake belladonna, he saw her small smile.

Stepping off the stage, Naruto shed his skull helmet to congratulate his daughters, following them outside Naruto called out to them, hearing their father Ruby Beamed in joy as Naruto smiled, being ready for the bullet hug he stepped back once, laughing the two smiled.

"Um, Professor Uzumaki" Weiss said with her eyes blinking in confusion with the professor looking to her before he cleared his throat.

"So, I already heard your teammates names, but are you going to introduce me to them"

"Oh yeah, dad, this is Weiss and Blake" Ruby said as she dragged the two stunned girls at hearing Ruby say dad, looking to Naruto's visage Weiss paled at the memory of the skull helmet Blake had a look of fear plastered in her features before seeing the man smile fatherly.

"Miss Schnee, seeing as your father refused to enrol you here, he must be very, subtly furious at the moment, but children will be children" Naruto said as Yang chuckled before hearing a gulp of fear behind them, turning Naruto caught the sight of team JNPR standing in silence, Nora having an excited smile as she looked between him and her friend Lie Ren, looking to the other members Naruto took notice to Pyrrah Nikos standing awkwardly with Naruto having a flashback of Gaara's hair.

Looking down to his scroll, buzzing, the adult sighed while answering it.

"Prankster here"

Hearing the name Naruto gave himself he turned to Ruby giggling with Yang before he listened to the one who called him, turning away from the eight teenagers, looking to the docking bay Naruto sighed as whoever called him hung up.

"I have an assignment, you two better behave until I get back…" Naruto said with the two pouting before he waved his hand with a small laugh.

"Since when has an Uzumaki behaved themselves, be sure to throw a few pranks in while I'm gone" Naruto said before vanishing into a black poof of smoke, making Weiss and Blake blink before Weiss spoke.

"What kind of father is he to be allowing that!?" Weiss questioned in surprise, making the two sisters turn to her with Ruby looking down in sadness, a look Blake instantly noticed.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Our father raised us with our moms till the age of five, itwas on Yang's sixth birthday that something happened that caused our dad to suffer amnesia" Ruby said with Weiss turning to her with a look of regret.

Appearing in Ozpin's office, the man stepped forward with his helmet on his person.

"What can I help with?" Naruto questioned with Ozpin looking up to him with his scroll on his desk, turning it to the Uzumaki Naruto's eyes looked at it before narrowing at a very familiar hair of pink.

"Haruno, when was this taken?" Naruto growled out with his eyes melting into red orbs.

"Two months after you went MIA, witnesses have reported seeing this woman fleeing… from Raven" Ozpin said with Naruto raising an eyebrow in confusion, blinking once or twice before he spoke.

"Why would Raven be after… not important, anything else?" Naruto questioned with Ozpin bring up another news article, making Naruto's eyes widen in dread at the sign of Konoha.

"In recent months the continent of your birth has begun to show itself, so far two envoys have been sent for peace treaties, I want to know if we can trust them"

"You're better off just kicking them out of all the kingdoms, let them be food for the Grimm" Naruto said with an angry voice before inhaling with his eyes relaxing into blue.

"I fear that is already too late as several of your homes teams have been sent for the upcoming Vytal Festival" Ozpin said with Naruto staring at him before sighing, clenching his hands into fists he spoke.

"If any of those teams come after me, Yang or Ruby, expect a body count" Naruto said before vanishing into a cloud of black smoke, leaving Ozpin in his office he sighed, rubbing his eyes he heard Glynda sigh with him.

"He… took that better than expected" Glynda said with Ozpin chuckling at her choice of words.

Standing in his room pacing back and forth Naruto paid Neo no mind as she watched the TV, occasionally looking to her bed mate in worry as he let out small traces of Kurama's chakra, leaving him with a crimson aura following his movements.

Stopping he sighed as his helmet disappeared as he sat down on the couch in his room, rubbing his face Neo got up and snuggled up beside him in worry, making Naruto look to her with a small smile.

"If only you could Talk Neo, you'd give me some advice right now" Naruto said with the petite nodding as she rested her head against his shoulder, looking to the clock Naruto took notice to the time and sighed, standing up slowly he left to get changed to his sleepwear.

Moving to his bed he sat back with a sigh.

"Classes start tomorrow" Naruto muttered to himself before closing his eyes, sooner joined by Neo under the Blanket she held onto his side with a contempt smile.

An hour later

Sleeping in peace within his room, Naruto held Neo close to his being as she did the same, but as they slept, a female figure clad in armor stood beside the bed in silence, reaching a delicate hand, Raven Branwen traced a soft hand over the scar Naruto possessed besides the fist sized one over his heart, looking down she saw the ring she gave him around his neck, she smiled sadly as she leaned over his sleeping form, letting a tear fall from her eyes she placed a delicate kiss on his forehead.

Leaning back Raven spoke.

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to stop them, Naruto" Raven said softly before leaving into a red vortex.

The next morning

Upon standing in the classroom, Naruto stood calmly as he could with the seats before him being empty, with good reason as he woke up early that morning, sitting down in silence Naruto closed his eyes before hearing a bell in the distance, Naruto ignored the students entering his classroom in silence, some of the students looking at the Professor who opened his eyes they nearly jumped at the red fading into blue.

"Hello, and welcome to Hand to hand combat training, before we begin, role call anyone?" Naruto said while standing up, holding a holographic clipboard Naruto stood straight as the doors flew up with the panting teams of JNPR and RWBY, moving to their assigned seats Naruto blinked before calling out the students, which was comprised of, only four teams and few lone students.

With that done Naruto went onto the lesson.

"Alright, now that role calling is done, let's go on with the class, shall we?" Naruto said while walking with his semblance coat manifesting, surprising the students as he paced back and forth.

"Most of you will think your only enemy will be grimm, but not all monsters take the form of said name, some will take the form of both human and Faunus, wishing to inflict harm and death on those under your protection, under our protection, this class is to help you to not have to rely heavily on your weapons, me for example, since the age of thirteen I was taught how to fight by my villages teachers- yes miss Schnee" Naruto said while turning to the white-clad girl on his two daughters team.

"Where did you exactly come from to be taught at such a young age?" Weiss questioned with Naruto closing his eyes at sad, hateful memories before he inhaled and exhaled.

"My birthplace is on the other side of the storm to the south of Remnant, you all may call it the elemental nations, I call it land of corruption, nothing good ever comes from that cursed land, the only heroic figures from there was my old man and mother themselves, they defended their home to their dying breaths, which allowed me to live in their place, but it wasn't a comforting life I was given" Naruto said with his head held low in sorrow before he cleared his throat and spoke.

"My home village, Konohagakure no Sato, was a proud and prospering village founded by two powerful men that most looked up to, for good and bad reasons, Senju Hashirama was my great grandfather surprisingly enough, still need to find out about that family tree"

"What happened to it, the village I mean?" looking to the shyly raised hand of Velvet Scarlatina Naruto spoke.

"Corrupt village elders and easily bought off god mothers, ever since I fled from it, it has become a shell of its former self"

"Why did you leave, though?" hearing the voice of Lie Ren the adult sighed.

"My father gave me the power when I was born, this power is both a blessing… and a curse, each day was a fight for survival for me and others like me, I was the only child at the time to be able to hold it without repercussions to my frail body" Naruto said before he took notice to Cardin Winchester discreetly assaulting a Faunus student in front of him, flicking his right wrist Naruto tossed a Kunai in the air, making those paying attention to watch it land between Cardin's right-hand fingers, making the teen scream an unmanly scream before coughing, holding his hand Naruto growled.

"It is people like you Mr. Whinchester that is making this era of Peace difficult to keep, now you either stop your bravado or I dish out your punishment with a spar, am I understood?" Naruto said with an empty voice, making the teen gulp with a fear filled nod.

Looking to the Faunus student the poor boy held his head low before Naruto's gaze softened.

"Don't worry, I'm not as low as the mindless apes that discriminate Faunus, your skills are more valued than theirs" Naruto said with the teen and class snickering as Cardin remained silent, about to join the class he was silent by a stern look from the Uzumaki.

"Now, any last questions before the class begins?" Naruto questioned with Blake Belladonna's hand raising.

"Yes, Miss Belladonna?"

"Did you have any friends in your village, the way you talk about it says you ha d a sliver of happiness?" Blake questioned with Naruto gaining a sad smile at the memories he could call fond.

Seeing Iruka, Ino, Kiba, Hinata, Tenten, Shikamaru, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, heck even old man Sarutobi and the Ichiraku Ramen owner and his daughter Ayame.

Rubbing his eyes to stop the tears threatening to fall the man sat down at the desk.

"Yes… I've had those rare moments of Fondness with my old comrades, one of them would be gawking at me right now at the sight of me being a teacher, even though I barely paid attention in his classes" Naruto said before he cleared his throat.

Letting out a small laugh.

"Alright, that's enough questions, time for today's lessons," Naruto said with the class silently cheering as a small stage for spar's appeared before his desk, stepping onto the stage with hands behind his back, Naruto had an evil smile that stopped the cheers.

"I will evaluate your skills in a one Vs four spar, all teams against me, but be warned, you refuse to come at me with the intent to kill or harm me will end with low marks, because in the real world, the humans wishing to inflict pain and misery will not hold back either" Naruto said with Ruby and Yang growing worried before he chuckled.

"Just kidding, these will be friendly spars, though I will still evaluate and help correct your fighting styles," Naruto said with his eyes looking to a nervous look Jaune Arc.

An hour later

Naruto stood before the beaten and exhausted class before him with a semi-proud aura around him, so far nearly all of them have the skills and prowess to become Huntsmen, the only ones pathetic were the all bronze CRDL, no brains or tactics just full out bum rush, which Naruto responded with drop kicking Cardin off the stage, and then following by brutally beating the other three into submission, the other one who had no fighting skill was Jaune Arc, who made up for it with tactical thinking that nearly made Naruto lose against his team, and then there was his daughter's team, and to be honest, Schnee's attitude made her a big target for Naruto's joking taunts, which made the girl laugh and scowl at him, and looking at the girl now she had an ice pack on her head, which he winced at due to her responding in kind, which made him look up to the ice freezing his forehead at the moment.

"All I have to say is, you all have potential, the only ones I find pathetic were team CRDL, no plan or tactics, just full on assault, that can get you and possibly others killed in the line of duty, think before you act and maybe next time we show this test again you'd have improved" Naruto said while his skull helmet stared at them.

Walking to the right he continued.

"In that case, I have a show of inspiration my first sensei told me, I and my ungrateful teammates were tested before a stone, this stone was part of a memorial to heroes, both my mother and father's names were engraved, my sensei, Hatake Kakashi, said these words. "Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum". Those are the words my teacher lived by, and so do I, look amongst your fellow students" Naruto said with the students looked among each other, gaining a confused look until Naruto continued.

"Those you see around you are no longer individuals, no longer strangers, they are now family, which means you must protect it, and in turn… they will protect you, think this piece of advice long and hard, because if you don't… you'll just give in to the pointless hatred" Naruto said before the bell rang, looking up in surprise Naruto spoke.

"Class dismissed, you may leave," Naruto said as he sat down behind the desk, letting his helmet vanish the coat remained, causing him to look at his gloved hand with a frown.

"Why do you remain?"

"Dad?" hearing the voice of Ruby Naruto looked up with a tired look, sitting up he gave her his attention.

"Yes, Ruby?"

"Are you alright?" Ruby questioned with Naruto looking down in thought before he finally took notice to his left hand shaking until he clenched it.

"I am, thank you… you look so much like your mother it's scary" Naruto said with a soft laugh, joining him Ruby smiled.

"You better get to your teammates, no doubt Glynda will be annoyed of your absence," Naruto said with Ruby smiling.

"I had Yang tell her I was asking you questions?" Ruby said with Naruto smiling.

"Tell me, have you prank Tai at all?" Naruto questioned with the girl's eyes widening at being found out.

"Uh…"

"I'm so proud of you, " Naruto said as he held the girl in a one-armed hug.

Making the girl smile as the two sat down, with Ruby asking Naruto about his happiest moment in life, with the adult looking down in thought.

Meanwhile on the docks of Vale.

Stepping off a ship from the borders of the elemental nations, a man stepped off with a hood over his silver hair, looking up the man's left eye sported an eyepatch, wearing a jonin vest over a torn coat with black pants and boots Hatake Kakashi fixed the loose hitai-ate on his right shoulder guard, that ran down to his wrist, on his left arm, it showed to be… cybernetic, looking at the robotic Limb Kakashi mentally thanked the man who helped him, turning back to the ship he was hastily followed by Penny Polendina, Ha, and Roshi, both nodding to him as he continued onto the port, ignoring the looks he gained they took notice to the scratch running through his hitai-ate.

"So, this student you spoke of is the one in Beacon?" Han questioned with the ex-shinobi nodding, turning to the trio he spoke.

"He is here, along with my other student, Sakura Haruno" Kakashi said as he turned to leave the port, followed closely by Penny she spoke.

"Why is she here?" Penny questioned with the man looking at his robotic arm he sighed.

"She was ordered to hunt down my only favourite student, Uzumaki Naruto" Kakashi said before making his way to the escort from Atlas, seeing him the soldiers gave a salute, one that Kakashi lazily gave back as they sat within the Bullhead, Kakashi looking at his robotic hand before it crackled with lightning before relaxing into a clenched fists, looking up with conviction, Kakashi looked out the window sternly.

"Don't worry Naruto… I'm almost there"
