Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Before I begin, I want to tell you all that I made a new poll for Naruto and Assassination Classroom. The question is whether Naruto should play a role as an assassin or target in Assassination Classroom. As for the previous poll, Naruto got the highest amount of votes for favorite character. Harry got the second highest, Percy got third, and Katniss is the last one. If you want the exact numbers, just tell me in the reviews and I'll show them in the next chapter. So, with that out, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Naruto, or the Hunger Games.

Chapter 03: The Intelligence Gatherer

"Where is she?" Yang murmured as she look around for her sister. After looking around Beacon with her group of friends, Yang decided to finally go to the auditorium where the ceremony is being held at. She hope that her sister had manage to find the place by her own, but alas, she can't seem to find her anywhere.

Yang sighed and cross her arms under her arms. "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave Ruby alone, though I thought she could handle it by herself."

"If you think Ruby could handle traveling around by yourself, then your brain is still sleeping or you're an idiot."

Yang whirl around, ready to pound the guy who dare call her an idiot, before stopping. Then her eyes widen when she saw who it is. "N-Naruto?"

The whiskered face blonde grin at her. "Hey Yang." Naruto greeted, leaning on the wall and putting his hands into his pockets. "Surprise to see me hear aren't you?"

Before he knew it, Yang wrapped him in a tight hug. Naruto chuckled, wrapping his arms around Yang. The tight hug Yang is giving would've crush a normal man, but luckily, Naruto is far from normal. Even in hunters' standards.

Yang finally ended the hug, smiling widely at him before pouting. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Beacon?"

"Thought it would be a nice surprise." Naruto said with a shrug. "And sorry for not coming over to say congratulation last time, but I was too busy getting a gift for you and Ruby." Yang's eyes shine in excitement.

"A gift? What is it?" Yang asked excitingly. Naruto travel around from place to place, mainly in Vacuo, so he probably got some great stuff.

"I'll show you later." Naruto told her. "Right now, let's wait for Ruby to come here. Speaking of which, where is the little red riding hood?"

At that question, Yang stiffened and shuffle her feet uneasily. Naruto notice this and narrow his eyes at her. "Yang, what did you do? And again, where's Ruby?" Naruto questioned. His tone clearly states 'Don't you lie to me. I'll know.'

Yang laughed sheepishly, rubbing her head. "Well…."

"Yang!" The two turn their heads to see Ruby coming towards them. When she got closer, her eyes widen when she saw who's standing next to Yang. "Naruto!"

The blonde grin. "Hey little red." Like Yang, Ruby tackled him in a hug, though it didn't had the same amount of strength like Yang's hugs had. "Where were you? You nearly miss the ceremony."

Ruby pouted. "Yang ditch me to hang out with her friends." Ruby said, giving Yang a cute glare. "Because of that, I exploded!"

Naruto sighed. "First off, Yang what did I say about leaving your sister alone in a large area?"

"To make sure to give her everything she needs to know before going off." Yang sighed. She would've done that, but her friends was excited to see her! She couldn't say no!

"Alright, and second, are you talking literal or metaphorical?" Naruto asked her. It's important to ask that with Ruby and Yang.

"Literal." Ruby said glumly. "I nearly exploded a hole in the side of the school. I would've got yelled at more by that Weiss girl if it wasn't for Harry."

That peaked the blondes' interest, for different reasons. "Oh? Who's Harry?" Yang asked with a teasing grin. "Did my little sister finally found a friend? And a boy at that?"

To her surprise, Ruby blush. "W-Well, Harry is a new friend I made when he helped me out. Not a boyfriend or a crush or anything like that."

"I didn't say anything about a crush or boyfriend." Yang pointed out, making Ruby blush further. Yang grin grew even more. Oh, she's been waiting for this moment. Teasing her little sister about her crush.

Naruto decided to cut between the conversation. "Is his full name Harry Potter?" Ruby look surprise that Naruto know that, but nodded. "Huh. Never thought the co-leader of the Order of the Phoenix would show up."

Ruby's eyes widen. "How did you know that? I never even heard of that organization."

"You forget that I'm an intelligence gatherer." Naruto deadpanned to them. "I gather any and every information I could get my hands on from all four kingdoms." Then he leaned back on the wall. "Anyways, like I said, Harry Potter is the co-leader of the Order of the Phoenix, with the other one being a girl called Hermione Granger. Their organization consist of both faunus and humans willing to protect civilians from harm, no matter what the race. They also protect dust companies and dust stores from thieves and terrorists, mainly the White Fang, and is located at Atlas."

Harry Potter is also known for winning several tournaments at Mistral, his abilities and skill on par (If not better) with Pyrrha Nikos. They always end up fighting one another for the title, with it either ends with them tying or Harry winning. And he's also known for his incredible control over aura, different from his own control. He uses it like magic.

Yang and Ruby look amaze at the information given to them. "Wow." Ruby said in awe. "So I made friends with two celebrities."

"Two?" Naruto and Yang questioned. Yang spoke up for both of them. "Who's the other celebrity?"

Ruby smile brightly. "Percy Jackson." Ruby said, shocking the two blondes even more. "He also went to Beacon as well! I'm so glad to finally meet him!" Yang grinned while Naruto chuckled. They both know of Ruby's admiration for the swordsman and blacksmith.

'So the Phoenix of Atlas and the Swordsman of Mistral is here as well.' Naruto thought to himself. Percy Jackson currently lives in Mistral, but his name spread out within the four kingdoms, same as Harry Potter. He is especially known at Patch for the weapons he makes. Naruto grin a little. 'Being in Beacon is gonna be more fun than I thought. For once, I don't regret coming to school.'

"By the way Naruto, where's Gaara?" Ruby asked him, breaking the former shinobi from his thoughts. "Is he here to?"

Naruto nodded. "He's here. Just decided to be somewhere else for right now." He was about to say more when Ozpin's voice echoed through the hall.

"Ahem." Professor Ozpin voiced through the microphone. He has silver hair and amber eyes, with a dark green long sleeve vest and dark green vest. He's also holding a cane in one hand, and a green scarf around his neck. "I'll keep this brief. You've all traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you're finished, you plan utilize your skills in protection of the people. But when I look amongst you, all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume that knowledge will free you of this. But your time at this school will prove that knowledge will only get you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

Among the group of people listening to the speech, is Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, along with Nora Valkyrie and Ren Lie. "Do you notice something Peeta?" Katniss whispered to her partner. "He seems….off."

"Yeah, I notice it too." Peeta agreed. The two of them are being careful not to be overheard. "But let's not put too much focus. We can think of hundreds of things he could be thinking about and none of them might be right." Katniss nodded, conceding to Peeta's point. But she still have her suspicion.

After that, Ozpin step back and Glynda stepped forward. Glynda Goodwitch is a blonde haired huntress with blues, and wears a white blouse and black skirt. She also wears a purple cloak shaped like an arrow in the end. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins, and we will see if you are worthy to be in this school. You are dismissed." She said firmly.

As Ozpin and Goodwitch left, Naruto spoke once again. "Well, I'm off to find my redheaded friend." Naruto told Ruby and Yang. "See you tonight."

"Later Naruto." Ruby said as the blonde left to find Gaara. Then the young girl to turn Yang. "I'm surprise you didn't blush all the way through that conversation."

Yang stiffen and look at Ruby with a blush on her cheek. "W-What are you talking about Ruby?" Yang said nervously, laughing and rubbing the back of her head.

The red-hooded girl roll her eyes. "Oh come on, we both know about your crush on Naruto." Ruby stated. "All the times you blush whenever he's near, and whenever he gets close to you or compliment you, you act so shy-"

"Ruby, shut up!" Yang whined, her face red. She and Ruby has been friend with Naruto and Gaara ever since they were young, though Naruto was always more sociable with them than Gaara was. Ruby saw Naruto as her older brother figure while Yang admires Naruto, not that Naruto really knows that. Reason for the admiration is because he and Gaara helped Qrow save her and Ruby from a bunch of Grimm. It was the first time they actually met.

Ever since then, she admired the blonde and gain a crush that slowly became bigger as the year passes. There was a time where Yang would be beet red whenever she's near him, but as the years passes, she got more confident to talk to him. Though there's always that slight blush whenever he shows up in a surprise visit, and a bigger blush whenever he compliments her or get physically close to her.

Ruby giggled. "What? It's always so funny, seeing you act all shy and quiet whenever Naruto is complimenting you or touching you in the slightest."

"Not as funny as you gaining a crush on a boy in one day." Yang teased back, making Ruby beet red. She's been waiting for this all these years. Years of teasing are gonna be paid back.

(With Naruto)

"Where is Gaara?" Naruto mumbled as he look around. "Better question. Where should I start looking?" He was about to head off in a random direction, when he felt somebody grab his hand.

He turn around, wondering who it was, before his stiffened and his eyes widen. The one holding his hand is an old friend, one from the White Fang. "Blake…."

The cat faunus smile at him. "Naruto." Blake said softly.

Naruto met Blake way before the White Fang became a terrorist group. She, along with Adam, has been with one of his friends during the time. He and Gaara were also allies of the White Fang.

When the two saw the direction the White Fang was going, they didn't hesitate to disband from it. Naruto try to convince Adam and Blake to get out of the White Fang as well, but Adam was too set in the White Fang's beliefs to quit while Blake felt that the White Fang were doing the right thing.

He never seen those two ever since then. Well, until now.

"What are you doing here Blake?" Naruto asked, narrowing his eyes. None of his contacts spotted Blake in the White Fang, after the last dust raid on one of the Schnee train.

"...I quit the White Fang Naruto." Blake told him, looking at him in the eye. "You were right. What they were doing….and what I was doing was wrong." No one else is close enough to hear the two, but she made sure no one can hear them.

Naruto was surprised to hear that from her. While Blake is a good girl, he can admit that she can be a bit racist. With the way the White Fang are right now, he would've thought that Blake turned out for the worst. Look like he's wrong. But still….

"How do I know you aren't lying?" Naruto questioned, causing Blake to look down. "I don't like doubting my friends Blake, but you were in the White Fang years when they got violent. And the last time we spoke to one another….it wasn't pretty." Blake flinch at that.

"I know." Blake said to him. "But please, trust me when I tell I quit. I was an idiot back then. When things have changed, I should've followed you. It was foolish to think that violence was the answer, and foolish for saying those things too you….can you ever forgive me?"

It was a speech that she had been working on for a while, ever since she decided to get out of the White Fang. She isn't good with words, not like Naruto or Adam, so she hope this speech will work.

Naruto listen to every word, trying to see if there was any lies or half-truths in anything she said. After the speech ended, he founded none. So after a few seconds, he spoke softly. "I forgive for Blake." Naruto told her simply. "For the argument, and for everything you did. You are my friend, after all. I don't abandon my friends."

Blake smile softly before giving him a hug, one he didn't hesitate to give back. Inwardly though, Blake still felt guilty. One thing she knows about Naruto is that he values every friendship he makes. And when she decided to stay with the White Fang, she saw how crush he looked. And she still remembers the word she said to him, words that she would never be able to take back.

She don't know if she's worthy of Naruto's forgiveness. But she will try her best to become worthy.

(Later)

After seeing Blake again, Naruto left to find Gaara once more. During that time, he saw several other people throughout their own kingdom, or through all four of them. He look around, trying to spot his redheaded friend. Finally, he spotted him near one of the walls.

"Gaara." Naruto called her, gaining the man's attention. He grin at him. "I got some news you might be interested in hearing."

"Oh? And what's that?" Gaara asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well first, I saw Blake here." Naruto told him, and Gaara raised both eyebrows in surprise. "She quitted the White Fang a few days ago. And she apologize to me what happened years ago. Also met Yang and Ruby here too." Which reminds him, he'll need to give those two his gifts first chance he gets.

"Hmm." Gaara hummed, crossing his arms. "Glad to see we regain one more friend, along with seeing two more. And you sure she ain't here as a spy?"

Naruto shook his head. "She isn't lying. She better than most when it comes to lying, but we both learn to see through deception." Gaara nodded in agreement to this.

"And what's the other news?" Gaara asked.

"Turns out, several prominent figures are here at Beacon." Naruto told him. "Pyrrha Nikos, a champion winner in a few tournaments at Mistral, but always at the final round. Harry Potter, co-leader of the Order of the Phoenix and also a champion winner in a couple of tournaments at Mistral. Like Pyrrha, always at the final round.

"Hermione Granger, the other co-leader of the Order of the Phoenix." Naruto continued. "Percy Jackson, the famous blacksmith and swordsman of Vacuo. Owns an orphanage/training camp called 'Hestia's Hearth'. Annabeth Chase, a very good information broker and girlfriend of Percy Jackson. Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. And Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the two mercenaries traveling around the kingdoms, mainly Vale. Got a wrack of Grimm kills, even the older and stronger ones. The two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend."

While Gaara didn't show it, he very much surprise at all the famous people here at Vale. "A lot of young influential figures here."

"Yeah." Naruto nodded in agreement. "Makes things at Beacon all the more interesting."

"Your kind of interesting involves a lot of explosion and collateral damage." Gaara deadpanned. Naruto squawked in protest.

"Hey, I don't make explosions all the time! Just once a month!"

"That doesn't reassure me."

"Oh screw off." Naruto grumbled, pouting like the child. Internally though, he's thinking about if/when all these famous figures, including himself and Gaara, are going to attract attention.

Gaara is an owner of the "Shukaku's Dust Company" at Vacuo. Because of his semblance with the sand, Gaara can get dust from the ground with only little to no difficulty. He also has stores around four the kingdoms, with a fair policy for both faunus and humans, making it popular company and store.

Because of that, it got it rivals, the biggest one being the Schnee Dust Company. It also got an enemy out of the White Fang, when Gaara stop giving his resources to the group when they started to become terrorists.

Naruto himself, got the reputation of being a shadow protector for faunus and faunus supporters. Whenever they are in trouble, he always there to help them out. He also leads the security force for Gaara's company, and also as a personal spy for Gaara himself.

'With all these guys and girls here, Beacon probably won't need me to make things interesting.' Naruto thought to himself. Then he grin. 'Doesn't mean I won't help anyway. Look out Beacon, the most unpredictable shinobi is gonna cause chaos in this school.'

And that's the end. As you saw, this chapter was mainly Naruto centric. But this chapter also gave you intel about what the eight characters outside of RWBY have been doing in the world of Remnant. Next up, the big sleepover and probably all of them preparing for the entrance exams.

By the way, the pairing Naruto is Naruto/Yang/Blake, if you haven't figured it out already. Now, there's one more pairing I have yet to reveal, along with the other girl I plan to be with Harry. Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you later.
