(rwby and naruto. these are not mine. by the way, to the person saying "please do not make sakura the pairing", I'm not. I already have something in mind, have since the first sentance)
Kakashi was, for lack of a better word... lazy. sure when it came down to the wire, he could fight off a-rank and maybe higher level shinobi or maybe lead a squad of anbu but when it was just the usual routine? he was so damn lazy that even a Nara could consider him to be too much of a downer. it was because of this laziness that the man had agreed to automatically pass his team of sakura haruno and sasuke uchiha, because that meant he didn't have to bother with some pointless test Which would have resulted in them failing otherwise. but now? now he waa regretting every damn move he had made this day because of the fact his 'precious students' were being forced into facing down a pissed off mirror-eyes uzumaki. "n-now come on naruto, you haven't even told them what the test is..". the blond just looked up at the cyclops with wide eyes, not shocked or anything really.. just.. voidless. the sort of look that said 'try and stop me'.
"their test hatake..? survive". with that said, the blond shot forward at near-impossible speeds towards his first target... the uchiha. poor sasuke didnt know what hit him when his neck was hooked into the one blunt spot of crescent rose's blade, being thrown across the field without a chance to so much as react. but his abuse was only starting, as shown by the way a gold plated bood slammed into his stomach and sent him skidding across the ground back next to the haruno, Someone who could only stare in shock at naruto's brutality. "d-did I-" "OI! IF YOU HAVE TIME TO SIT AROUND, YOU HAVE TIME TO FIGHT! GET UP!" as he ignored the feeling of concern from within himself, naruto flurished the weapon to deflect the kunak thrown by the recovering uchiha, returning fire as he impaled the blade into the ground and using it as a way to steady the barrel of the gun.
something which soon sent sasuke to his knees, Screaming in pain as a bullet shattered his left arm-bone as sakura scrambled to his side "SASUKE-KUN! NARUTO STOP IT, YOU DONT NEED TO DO THIS!". but instead of the reluctance to shoot that she hoped to see, she was horrified to see the barrel pointed right between her eyes. "of course you would defend him... you did back then, you did on that day and you are now. I seriously hope you see something that scars you for life sakura or you will never be ready for this life" as his eyes retuned to their normal silver colour, they would narrow as sasuke got to his feet laughing, pained chuckles escaping his lips. "of course she defends me dobe... unlike you, I gave her what she wanted, the honour of laying with an uchiha-AHHHHHHHHH!" before he could even finish his sentance, a second shot of crescent rose shattered his other arm, the blond spitting on the ground as he snarled. "the slut and the bastard... I hope you enjoy each other. And sakura, I hope one day you realise that this asshole is just using you.."
with that the blond just stepped away from the two, walking past the dissapointed gaze of their cyclops sensei. "...so. they fail?". naruto just nodded, letting all aura leave his system. "with flying colours... I wont work with someone who has such a pitiful sense of loyalty, and Someone who would try to shatter his allie's psyche just because of a superiority complex."kakashi just shook his head, a tone of dissapointment painting his words. "or do you just not want to work with them because of your past with sakura... you need to confront it one day naruto or it'll get you AND them killed". his answer from the boy was a bullet from his scythe flying past the scarecrow's face, no reaction being shown as the blond just kept walking. "..he has a point naruto. no matter what she did, you have to forgive her at least on a professional level. you're allies now". "no ruby, not allies. those two haven't been my allies since she WILLINGLY let that bastard take her, even though she was with ME at the time, just because he couldn't accept that i was better than him". ruby just sighed at naruto's words, knowing that he had taken another step backwards from healing.
naruto however, just let the silence take over as he considered what he had just done. he shattered both of sasuke's arms, possibly ruined any chances of him working peacefully under naruto's command and probably called down some kind of repercussions onto himself. "...worth it". however, he was stopped once more by a voice he DIDN'T want to hear, growling as he turned to the one who spoke.yes.. sakura? would you perhaps like to repeat that..?". scarlet eyes glared at the pinkette, watching as she stood with shaking hands. "i..i said we're not done. you haven't faught me yet a-and i refuse to just roll over, even if you are the yondaime's son..". that made him go silent, even kakashi's eyes going wide as they both looked at her. "b-before you ask.. it isn't hard to tell. you both share the same features, chakra elements... i-it's obvious".
naruto just stood in stunned silence, anger still guiding his hands as he stepped forward slowly. a rational mind would have seen that she was just trying to earn his respect, a calm mind would have heard that she was trying to prove to herself that she wasn't weak. naruto however, possessed neither of these. "you think my strength and position come from my old man..?". she shook her head, her eyes going wide as she considered what she had said, realising how she had fucked up. "n-no i-" "YOU THINK I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO WORK WITH WHAT I MADE WITH MY OWN HANDS? THAT I DIDN'T EARN THIS BY MYSELF, THAT I DIDN'T WORK TO GET TO THIS POINT YOU DAMN WHORE!?". inside naruto's mind, Everyone was shaking in fear of this side of naruto. the three girls had only seen this side of him once and it was by far the most gory result they had ever seen, resulting in 20 different bounties being collected that day.. and now sakura was the focus of this infamous rage. thinking fast, the pinkette worked to disarm the angered blond, using his unfocused mind to weave and cast the only genjutsu she knew.
"JUDGEMENT OF THE UNWORTHY!".
the blond was hit with the illusion before he even registered the words, snarling as he lunged forward only for his fist to hit a toned stomach. looking up, he saw the darkening blue eyes of Someone he hoped to never have look at him in that way... his father, minato namikaze. he tried to speak out but found his voice silent, the only noise escaping being the silent gasp of pain as the business end of a boot impacted his body. the boy was flung halfway across the black void which took the place of the clearing. "pathetic... how can you call yourself a namikaze if you cant even take a single fangirl on". gasping, he tried to bring himself to his feet, only for minato's fist to send him crashing back down to the ground with a bruised cheek and the strange realisation that he was young again. "how could you call yourself my son... relying on the strength of others to fight, using their weapons and abilities, my jutsu.. worthless". the blond could only choke for air as his throat was gripped by the illusion's throat, gasping for air and clawing at the hand which held him aloft.
"worthless, stupid, horrible fucking child. maybe the uchiha would have been a better son, at least he wouldn't be a disgrace to the namikaze name. you on the other hand, don't deserve my blood... you aren't my son-ARGH!" the illusion simple coughed blood as it looked down, seeing a shining thin blade impaling its stomach, a fully grown naruto gripping the handle of a silver rapier, shining ice blue eyes staring up at him. i dont need your FUCKING NAME!"kicking the illusion off of the blade, naruto slid away as he smirked and watched as it coughed up blood. "i don't care if you use my father's fucking name, i dont care if you use his damn face, I DON'T CARE ABOUT EITHER! i am my own person and not even the bastard who sealed the fox inside me can take that away from me!". "well said boy.. it's the person that makes the name, show this fake why you have already made your own name!"
(play: this life is mine timestamp-4:15)
watching as the figure that tried to imitate his father grew and distorted, becoming a monster before his eyes, naruto would just shoot forward using speed that he shouldn't have possessed, smirking as he dodged a blow from the creature's fist by cartwheeling to the side, driving the blade home and hanging on as it's fist was raised in pain. "elegance..." following the voice, letting hands that were not his own guide hia movements, he ran down the arm and rose the blade high, driving it into the creature's eye. "precision" leaping from the thrashing beast that took his father's form, a large nine tailed fox in the same fashion as the grimm, he'd run his fingers down the blade's steel length before raising it again, a barrier of aura parrying the beast's claw and knocking it high into the air, letting his face go calm before a shining glyph apoeared beneath him, turning a etherial silver before he was cast forward, impaling the creature's heart on martynister's fang. "and strength. a truely worthy owner of the name shnee.. or should that be uzumaki?".
as the boy landed on the voidless ground, he just Chuckled before turning to see the last of team rwby, icy blue eyes meeting their spiritual twin. "I don't know weiss... you tell me". the two shared a small laugh at that, before naruto's face adopted a saddened smile. "but not the name namikaze... He spoke some truth after all, I'm not his son. I've changed too much since then... I'm not as kind as him, not as forgiving.. I let this world change me over these for years and forgot who i was.. but no more. thank you weiss, for reminding me who i am..". raising the blade once more to block the claw of the fake-kyuubi's form, he let his lips become a confident smirk as a long-lost flame entered his eyes. "a proud uzumaki!". casting the beast once more into the air, now in full control of the illusion, he used anothet glyph to send himself sky high, weiss's form smiling as she recognised the pose he took on.. blade pointed to the shattered moon, eyes looking down at his target. elegant, precise, and strong... "a true uzumaki indeed."
as naruto fell, he'd let his eyes close and smirk become a content smile, the form of the fake kyuubi fading around his blade.. along with the illusion that claimed him. opening his eyes once more, he found the surprised form of sakura staring back at him, kakashi already having moved sasuke away from the battlefield. the Cyclops couldn't restrain the smirk that his mask hid, nor the pride he felt at seeing something he, and the rest of those who knew naruto, hadn't seen in a long time. he simply watched on as the smiling blond pointed his new weapon at sakura, only now taking notice of the way she seemed to truly wish to fight.
"i apologize for that, your illusion seemed to take a little longer than i had expected... in any case haruno... ready for round 2?"
