Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or RWBY, I am not the author of Naruto the Huntsmen, that is a fic white by fairy tail dragon slayer, who gave me permission to make this reading story.


The rest of the day was really boring, the classes that Naruto had were more theory than practice, the only highlight of the day was when Weiss try to show off her skills, only to be humiliate when she get distract and was about to be run over by a grimm only to be save when Naruto kill it with a hail of his needles.

It was until the end of the day that things get more interesting when Naruto and his team along with team Juniper where call by Professor Ozpin.

"I believe you all know why you are here?" Ozpin, the headmaster of the school, stated as he looked at Team Juniper and Team Ruwby. The only two teams that had been late for their first days of school. Currently the were all standing at the bottom of a canyon, and only Ruby and Jaune had their weapons on them. Nearby their was a helicopter that Ozpin had used to bring them here.

"Because we are more awesome than the other teams?" Naruto asked, and Yang standing next to him gave him a quick fist bump without having to look at each other. Ozpin looked at the all for a second, before he took a sip of his coffee mug.

"That gaki still has no respect for the authority." Said Tsunade still a little bit sour because Naruto almost never show her any respect when she was Hokage, but deep inside her she was glad that he hadn't change at all.

"Not the reason I brought you here. No, as punishment for being late to class on the first day I have decided that a teamwork training exercise is needed to motivate you all into learning to show up... on time." Ozpin said as he paused for a moment as he let that information sink in, and seeing as he had nobody commenting on his words he decided to continue. "Anyway, on top of them cliff is a single blue relic. The team that first climbs up to the top of the cliff and grabs the relic will not be getting detention." Ozpin said neutrally.

"That doesn't seem as a difficult exercise." Comment Himawari but was immediately correct by her mother.

"You have to remember that they cannot stick their feet to the side of the canyon and climb it like you would do with chakra, so they would have to climb the canyon the old way."

"I also believe that he hasn't finish explaining the exercise to them, he probably is going to add some crazy rules to make it harder on them." Added Minato and everyone nod.

"... Sorry Jaune, but it looks like you are getting detention." Yang said out loud, before a cough from Ozpin reminded her that he was still there. She felt Naruto nudge her side with a grin, and she huffed slightly at him mocking her for getting in trouble. Jaune was pouting when he realized that they would likely be getting the detention.

"The rules are simple, the first FULL team to get to the top and grab the relic win. Only the leader of the team may use their weapon." Ozpin started before he was interrupted by Naruto running past him before the ground cracked when he jumped high into the air, and the groups watched as Naruto got most of the way up the cliff before he eventually went over the top of the cliff.

"Why does that troublesome blonde has to always rush into things without thinking." exclaim a bore Shikamaru, he was still there because he need to collect a little bit more of intel before going to search for an explanation of Naruto's Memories returning only partially.

"Did we just win?" Ruby asked, before they all heard a shout and saw an orange shape jumping back off the cliff and start falling towards the ground. Naruto hit the ground with a thumb, and he thanked his increased durability for the fact he only got a bruised chest for hitting the ground.

"That had to hurt." Simply comment Jiraiya and everyone agree with him.

"You would know since I have hit you even harder since we were kids." Comment with a bit of humor Tsunade making everyone laugh.

"Was your journey enlightening?" Ozpin asked after a moment and Naruto raised his hand and flipped the man off. The man brushed the finger off before going to back to his explanation. "If the entire team doesn't reach the top at the same time, then there are some surprises at the top that will be waiting to send them back down." Ozpin said, Naruto Naruto's eyes twitched.

"I seriously doubt that Naruto would ever get over that bad habit of always rushing into things." Said an exasperate Hinata.

"Yeah but then he wouldn't de idiotic blonde that you love." Comment Temari.

"You okay?" Ren asked as he helped Naruto stand back up and the blond boy just nodded his head.

"The leader of the team must be the one to collect the relic, and make the plan to climb up the side of the cliff. To make things more interesting though..." Ozpin said as he pressed a button on his cane and everybody was jerked from where they were standing as some strange handcuff-like device attached to their hands and pulled them to somebody else.

Naruto and Blake were attached together.

Ruby, Weiss, and Yang were connected.

Jaune and Nora were stuff together.

Finally, Ren and Pyrrha were connected at the wrist.

"Those are some interesting pairings." Said Minato.

"I felt sorry for that Ren guy, being with pair with that girl can't be easy for someone like him." Said Tsunade.

"I actually think they are a cute couple, it kind of reminds me of Naruto and Hinata." Objected Temari.

"I'm More worried about that Pyrrha girl being paired with that Jaune guy, they are too many levels apart." Said a worried Kushina.

It was Himawari who respond her. "You just said that because you identify yourself with her Baa-chan."

Although everyone think that was funny nobody laugh fearing they would incur Kushina's wrath, meanwhile Jiraiya had discreetly took out his note pad and was writing in it.

"You will travel up the cliffs while attached to somebody else." Ozpin said before he walked away and got on his chopper, before all their hair was blown back by the wind the thing created as it started to fly away. "You may begin." Ozpin said just before he got out of hearing distance.

"I can work with this." Ren said after a moment, before he and Pyrrha went over to Jaune and the singing Nora to talk about how they were going to climb up the cliff.

"Team Ruby huddle up!" Ruby shouted quickly, and the five grouped together in a circle with their heads nearly touching as the lowered themselves to her level. Ruby looked at them all for a second, before she took a deep breath. "... Any ideas?" She asked sheepishly, and Yang looked at Naruto.

Everyone face palm when Ruby said that while they were thinking how does she manage to be chosen as team leader.

"How about Foxy throws us all up, before jumping up himself?" Yang suggested in a questioning tone, and Naruto shook his head and held up his and Blake's linked arms.

"Can't do that. Throwing you, or jumping with these would only hurt one of us in the end." Naruto told her after a moment, because if he did do it the end result would be one of the girls losing and arm or worse. The girls gulped slightly when they heard that, before Weiss thought of something.

"Maybe we can use your weapon, and having somebody carry the rest of us up the way." Weiss said as she looked directly at Naruto, and he looked at Ruby's weapon for a second before shaking his head.

"I have no idea how to use it, so no go... also, would you STOP making me do all the work!?" Naruto shouted when he realized that so far the only plans that had been made involved him doing all the work. The girls looked sheepish for a moment at his accusation, before Blake brightened up when she had an idea.

"What is wrong with girls now days! Are they really that weak that they are giving Naruto all the physical work?" ask an irritate Tsunade internally cursing this girls for being so weak and neglecting her physical training.

"They should come with a plan quickly or the other teams is going to beat them." Simply said Gaara and everybody saw that the other team already have a heads up against Naruto's team.

"Naruto and I will climb up the cliff first and you three hold onto Naruto's tail as we climb." Blake suggested, and she saw Naruto's deadpan expression before she looked at his tail and saw his had wrapped it around his own torso to keep it from being grabbed. She wanted to face palm when she remembered that his tail was very fuzzy, and the chance of them falling off was pretty high.

"Seriously... what is with your girls?" Naruto asked with a twitching eye, and Ruby pouted at him slightly.

"Oh come on Mr. Fuzzy, you know that you like helping us." Ruby said in a cutie voice, before she got an idea of her own. "Oh! I got something! How about this!" Ruby said as she jerked forward to grab Naruto's tail, before she yanked on the handcuffs and sent all five members of the team into the dirt. Ruby blushed when she realized that her face was in Naruto's neck... and that both Yang and Weiss were at his sides. She felt something under his gut and saw that Blake was smooched between herself and Naruto.

"That's my apprentice! Now Naruto make all those girls part of your harem!" Shouted Jiraiya only to be beaten again by every women in the room.

"Lucky!"

"Shut up Jaune!" Naruto shouted up as he saw Jaune and his team had already started climbing you the mountain. They were just using Jaune's sword to make grooves for themselves to grab onto and gain leverage over the cliff.

Naruto looked at the cliff for a second as the girls got off him, before he lightly pulled Blake along with his towards the cliff's stone surface.

"You have an idea?" Blake asked, and Naruto put his free hand on the wall of the canyon and he applied pressure to the wall. Naruto used his other hand and grabbed Blake's before placing it on the wall.

"What is he doing?" ask Temari, she and the rest of the ladies have stop hitting Jiraiya in order to prevent being toss around like yesterday.

It was Shikamaru who answer her. "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this."

"You feel that?" Naruto asked, and Yang decided it was time for her to speak up.

"I'll bite, why are you fondling the wall?" Yang with a purr to her voice as she teased the two of them.

"The wall is moist, so there is water on the other side of the cliff seeping through." Blake to Yang before Naruto decided to pitch in for the explanation.

"Not just water, on the other side of the cliff there is some sort of pocket full of water. We have to be careful with this wall or else-" Naruto started before he heard something. Looking up at Jaune's team he saw they all stopped moving up the wall as Jaune's sword stuck a bit deeper than it had before. Small amounts of water leaked out, before cracks started to form all over the walls of the canyon.

"I hate when I'm right about this things!" said Shikamaru who had a displease face.

"I would say that you jinx them by your early comment if it wasn't for the fact that problems always seems to follow Naruto." Said Tsunade.

"Jaune! Nora!" Ruby shouted as Team Juniper was blasted off the side of the cliff when it burst open and warm waters started flooding the canyon. Naruto and Blake jumped into action as the ran to catch the four that were falling. Naruto looked at his tail for a second, before unwrapping it from his torso and waving it at the team.

"I got you guys!" Naruto explained as he caught and wrapped his tail around Jaune and Nora before they hit the ground with his extra limp. Blake and he shared a single glance, before the turned face to face and started to hold hands as the ran under the falling Ren and Pyrrha. The boy and girl landed in their arms, before they safely slid to the ground on their feet. Naruto used his tail to safely place Nora and Jaune on the ground right after.

"Those two work really well together even though they just meet." Said Kushina.

To which Minato answer. "Apparently that Ozpin knew that they would get to work together or he would disband the team."

"Not necesarly Minato-sama, he could just let the team assignation be like that out of tradition and just hope that the teams will eventually get to work together." Said Gaara.

Those comments make everyone think that Ozpin was a calculating and wiser man than what he show, or that he was an idealistic fool that rely on luck too much, just like Naruto use to be in his early years as Holage, something that those who live it didn't want to repeat.

"Thanks for the save. I thought I saw a bright light for a second." Jaune said as more cracks appeared on the wall and more water gushed into the closed canyon. Naruto was the first to notice that the water was already up to their knees and continuing to rise.

"I never saw a bright light when I died, did you?" ask Minato.

"Well to be fair your soul was seal inside the shinigami, so your case doesn't count dear, but you aare right I never saw a light when I die." Said Kushina.

"But I did Kushina-san." Said Hinata.

"That may be because dad was at your side when you die kaa-san, and you know that tou-san's chakra is as bright as a sun." exclaim Himawari.

Finally Jiraiya throw his two cents. "Everybody experience death in different ways, for me I saw the most important things of my life flashing through my eyes, being the last thing that I saw was Naruto's face."

Everybody was shock by this, not only because Jiraiya had told them how were his final moments on earth, but also because in all these years no one have talk about their deaths, something that was personal to everyone, they reflected on this a little bit while returning to look at the screen.

"Thank goodness you guys are safe!" Ruby shouted as she and the ones she was chained to went over to them, and Weiss looked at the rising water levels.

"Great, now we get to all drown." Weiss told them sarcastically, before they all froze when they felt the ground shake and the water ripple. The wall of the canyon shook, and rocks started to fall from the cliff and land in the water as more liquid started to gush out of the canyon wall.

"Anyone knows how to swim?" Ren asked, and everyone raised their hands as the water level went up to their necks. Ruby and Wiess, the shortest of the group, were already being forced to swim to breath. Ruby noticed she felt lighter, before she saw that Naruto was holding her weapon so that she wasn't weighed down by it.

"A gentleman should always help a lady in need." Comment Jiraiya shocking everyone that he said something that wasn't perverted, only to be ruin by his next words. "So that he can win his way to her heart and do all kind of ero things with her!"

And in a second he was being beat by every woman in the room while the other men just pity him for not knowing when to shut up.

"I don't like this very much." Blake commented to herself as now most of the group was floating while Naruto seemed to be having trouble holding Ruby's weapon and swim at the same time. Metal and water doesn't normal mix together well,

The all felt the water ripple again as the cracks grew larger, and the walls of the canyon shook even more.

"That doesn't sound normal." Said Pyrrha the red haired Juniper member said as they looked at the wall of the canyon.

"I don't see how this could get much worse." Jaune stated, before he saw everyone glaring at him besides Nora. She was just happily floating on her back, but he sweat dropped when he realized he may have made things worse.

Everyone else in the afterlife was also glaring at Jaune for what he had said until Temari finally said what everybody was thinking.

"If that kid doesn't pull his act together and change his attitude he is going to end dead pretty soon, and not necessarily kill by the enemy."

"Jaune... shut up." Yang said neutrally as they all floated up higher and higher, while Naruto had to use his tail just to keep himself afloat. With a great throw he tossed Ruby's weapon to the top of the cliff, and he sighed in relief as his load got lighter.

"Hey, at least we are floating up to the top." Ren pointed out and everyone nodded in agreement before the canyon wall shook again and more cracks appeared along the surface. Not only that, but everyone got the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

And again everyone was either mentally cursing Naruto's luck to attract problems and the universe twist sense of humor for making his live a lot more complicate any time it have a chance.

*Crack*

"That didn't sound good." Weiss said, before everyone looked as the canyon wall burst open to show a small group of seven black sharks with white masks on their faces. Each shark was about the size of a truck, and they were all swimming towards them slowly.

"Crap! Everyone stay near the edge of the wall, and try to climb up!" Ruby shouted after a moment when her leader side seemed to kick in, and without a moment to waist most of the group did as she said. The sharks passed under them just as they got out of the water and started climbing, but the water was quickly catching up to them.

"Holy shit! Grimm also have aquatic types!?" and a shark of all thing!" exclaim Kushina.

"Why does it have to be sharks of all things! He have enough bad experience with sharks with Kisame and his attempts to kidnap him!" exclaim the Hinata with a sad tone.

"I'm actually glad that he has a chance to fight Grimm sharks so he can discharge all his pent up anger he has against Kisame and the Akatsuki." Said Jiraiya.

But no one understand what he mean so Minato ask "What do you mean sensie?"

"Well since he hasn't recover his complete memory he still thinks that the war against the Akatsuki is still going, so he needs to release his frustration of not being able to help his friends in the war, even though all this has already happen and that the war had been over for years."

And that make everyone realize that Naruto would be devastated once he found out that he wasn't in another world but that he was trap in a reincarnation endless cycle and that he could not be reunited with them.

"Take this!" Naruto shouted as he waved his tail as shot needles at the sharks, only for them to start floating in the water before they reached the sharks.

"I know this isn't the right time to say this, but I think this is the first time your tail didn't solve the problem right away." Yang commented, and Naruto twitched in annoyance. She was right, now wasn't the time for her to bring this up. He couldn't help that his tail needles floated just like clumps of fur would.

"Gah!"

Everyone looked at Naruto shouted in pain when one of the sharks jumped out of the water and chomped down onto his tail. Naruto was jerked off the cliff, as he and Blake were yanked into the water by the shark that was biting onto Naruto's tail.

"Nooooo!" almost everyone watching shout before Jiraiya calm them saying that Naruto had face even direst situations and that no doubt he would emerge victorious from this one too.

"Blake! Naruto!" A good number of the group yelled as the water turned red around where the sank into the filling canyon.

"Everyone keep climbing! We can't do anything for them by going into the water! Those two have a better chance of getting out if we don't get in their way!" Pyrrha shouted when she saw that Ruby was about to jump off the cliff and go into the water. She had a few tears at the edges of her eyes as well, since even she knew that the chances of helping them were as slim as the chances of them coming back out of the water.

"You should not abandon you comrades! NEVER!" Shouted Kushina worried for the wellbeing of her son.

It was Minato who try to calm her, "there isn't much they can do about it, none of them seem to have experience with fighting aquatic foes, so they would only put themselves in danger."

But before Kushina could shout to Minato for not carrying for his son Gaara interrupt them. "What is that?"

'You two better come back up.' Yang thought in anger as she looked at the other sharks swimming around. Seconds later bubbles formed before Blake popped out of the water and landed on the cliff wall, and she quickly caught herself and became steady again. Yet, there was no Naruto with her everyone gasped when they saw that severed chain.

"You FOOL!" Blake shouted at the water in rage, and honestly it wasn't hard to figure out what Naruto had done.

He had ripped his handcuff off, to save Blake from going down with him.

"Why did he do that?! He should be looking for a way to also escape, not become a martyr!" said an even more alarm Kushina

All the sharks swam towards the same spot, before everyone saw the water glow a bright orange color. Everyone waited for something to happen, and before they knew it the water became completely red in that one spot. Shark body parts started to float to the surface, and everyone turned their heads away sadly.

But the shinobi have a different reaction, instead of being sad they were mad that they didn't see what Naruto had done to those sharks.

"FUCK THAT HURT!"

They all whipped their heads towards the water as saw a very wet Naruto swimming towards them with a smile on his face.

"I'm going to punch you when I get my hands on you." Blake warned him, and Naruto stopped swimming towards them.

"That is not something you should say to the person who save you!" reproached Hinata, only to be questioned by Kushina.

"You shouldn't say something like that Hinata, after all you would have reacted the same way!"

Hinata get her face down and blush because what Kushina say was true.

"I'm good right here then." Naruto said quickly as he started floating up to the top of the cliff as they climbed up the old fashion way. Jumping out of the water just as they reached the top, Naruto and Team Ruby started to run for it just as Team Juniper got over the edge.

"That isn't what you shoul be doing Naruto! Just accept the rightful feminine fury!" exclaim Jiraiya surprising everyone, so Tsunade get to him and start to check him.

"Jiraiya do you feel okay, do you have the flu or something? What make you say something like that?"

"I'm fine Tsunade-hime, I just say that because it is better to accept the feminine fury right away than to try to run for it, which would only make it worse." Said Jiraiya acting like the sage that he was.

Of course this surprise every men and women that were there, they never thought that Jiraiya willingly accept every beating so he could calm the women that he wrong and to prevent make things worse, but Shikamaru saw a flaw in his reasoning.

"But Jiraiya-sama then why did you always run when you were discover peeping on the women bath?"

"Ah, that is because I wanted them to chase me so they would do some more exercise and maintain her magnificent figures!"

This make Tsunade, Kushina, Minato and Hiruzen look at Jiraiya with incredulous looks, Jiraiya everybody knew that Jiraiya peep to do research for his books, but they never thought that he have other agenda.

"Naruto! Yang!" Ruby yelled, and with a nod they both caught one of her feet just as she jumped into the air. One mighty throw later sent Ruby flying towards a small blue item hanging from a tree.

Victory Team Ruby.

Slap*

"Ow!"

Naruto learned something today, and that was apparently girls didn't like it when you risked your own life to make sure they were safe... or at least that was what he thought the lesson was as a blushing Blake held her palm in pain from hitting Naruto's toughened skin.

"He should have seen that coming after all the ladies he have rescue." Said Shikamaru.

"Well Naruto has always put the wellbeing of his friends above his own, that is why seal love him so much." Said Hinata.

"Yeah! We won!" Ruby shouted, as the Team Juniper looked down and collapsed on their knees when they realized they would have to do detention.

"Hey Foxy, how's your tail?" Yang questioned, and Naruto looked at his own tail to see that it was perfectly fine right now. His advanced healing having already taken care of the puncture marks.

"Just fine, but the next time anyone says things can't get worse... I am going to punch them." Naruto said with a twitching eyes at the jinx phrase.

He hated the saying.

"As we all do Naruto." Said Hiruzen and everybody just nod in agreement.
