Hello everyone! I wanna let everyone know because I'm sure a lot of people that read this story have begun thinking that I've abandoned this story. Well I'm here to say that's far from the truth! I honestly love this crossover of mine waaaay too much to do that, especially with the things I've thought to do for it in the future. Now I do want to apologize to everyone because it's been over four months, since I've posted a chapter. I will be honest with all of you on why. The first reason was I had to start getting everything ready for college, so finical aid, registration, housing, and all that good old fun stuff. That also included debating what I'd really like to go there to major in. The other reason besides college as I'm sure a majority if not all of you know is that Naruto had ended. I won't lie I honestly lost inspiration on writing for a time because of how it ended. I'm not I'm not the only one either because it seems a good amount of people have slowed down a bit on the Naruto fics. It does partially have to due with the pairings, but more so just how the characters seemed not themselves to me. I don't think the ending did any character true justice maybe save for like a few. I won't go into all that because what's done is done, and I can't change that. I've been working on another crossover that I probably won't publish just for kicks to get me back into the feel of things as well as just take a break from this one every once in awhile. If you'd like to have a friendly discussion about the Naruto ending PM me that's cool with me, but I don't want to have flamers of any kind or some kind of fight in the reviews. I'll simply just ignore it, and get rid of it. Anyways, that about sums up everything as far as I can remember, so I'll stop with that long apology.

MerlinMagia - Uhhh ok? Sure I guess ^^;

R-king - Thank you, I'm sorry for having taken so long in updating this.

120xion - Ummm who exactly? Are you talking about Naruto and Sasuke? I'm a bit confused, plus doesn't help when it's been so long, although that's my fault. ^^;

KuramaFTW - Well I'd honestly like to tell you what his semblance will be, but that'd ruin the fun. I do apologize for using the same exact dialogue, and that will slowly change over time. I've stated before I believe that it would've been different if Naruto and Sasuke were born into Remnant, but they're not, so I've gotta slowly integrate them into the world. That means meeting all the characters and whatnot. For me, that means the dialogue will be the same, but that will happen less and less over time. I hope you understand my point of view ^^

exillion - I'm sorry it's just an alignment? That shouldn't be too much of a problem, and we can talk about this in a more civilized manner. The point of the fact is that it's my story, sooooo I don't exactly have to listen to what you want, especially if you're being rude, or just trying to troll. I choose what I want to do with the story after all. You're more than welcome to not read another chapter, which is fine with me not everyone will like what I write. That's just how life is, and I'm fine with that. Hope you have a good Christmas, or whatever it is you celebrate Holiday!

FanOfFanFiction820 - Glad you think so! That's awesome that you finished Volume 1, and hopefully you've finished Volume 2 by now if not hurry! It was pretty awesome to say the least, and yep I agree the food fight was one of the more epics fights I've seen XD

thisreadingotaku - XD Glad you had caught up with the story, but here's another one which means you're not caught up anymore O_O. Glad you're still loving it though!

buterflypuss - We already discussed this in PM, so no need to really reply in here ^^ Thank you for understanding though. You at least were civil about things.

SpartanM60 - Wow glad you believe it's executed well ^^; Sorry for the long wait on this chapter.

InterestedDragon - Yes, you do have a wonderful point in that Naruto doesn't have a sane reason to leave his world. You gotta remember though that he's a do first think later kinda guy, so there's plausibility that he would do something like that. Now don't get me wrong, there will be consequences on Naruto himself later on such as guilt, and whatnot for leaving everything he knew behind. He may not notice at first because he has his parents with him for once in his life, which is something he's wanted deep down for a long time. That kind of feeling would overshadow his guilt for a time in my opinion. As for the Tailed Beast, well I don't really have a response for that, but I think they'd understand that his heart is in the right place. Naruto has changed how the Bijuu view things, and they've grown to trust him within the manga. I don't think they trust would easily be broken either because it's not like Naruto is abusing their power after all. That's just my opinion though. Interesting point of view though. You make a great point.

DJJJ1172 - ^^; Sorry bro, I hope you understand why I hadn't posted, but here's this chapter!

evil-pain - Don't worry I highly doubt I'd change the pairings. ^^ I wouldn't expect a harem though. I doubt I'd be able to make a believable story if Naruto had a harem, plus that's not really my kind of thing. Sorry

Swirling Maelstrom - Well I apologize for the long wait my friend. I'm glad you're really enjoying the story though. ^^ I hope you'll continue to keep reading as well as all my other readers. I highly doubt I'm going to change the pairings the by the way, so don't worry about that XD. As for nature's wrath that's a pretty interesting concept I never really thought of. Maybe I'd be able to implement that somehow, but I'm not making any promises ^^;

desdelor97 - Thank you, and I'll try my best to keep up the good work!

Dokubodaminabo - Yeaaaa, sorry for taking so long to update. ^^;

guest - Thanks, and sorry for the very long wait for this chapter.

yindragonkiba - Glad you love it!

Danish78 - Thank you for the suggestions on everything Danish. I've already sent a PM explaining things to you, but like I said in the PM don't worry I'm not abandoning this crossover. Thanks for the review by the way! It doesn't mean a lot whenever someone reviews regardless if I haven't posted in a long time heck means a lot when people still read the story even though I haven't posted in a long time. I'm curious though what's the name of the Xover with SasukexYang. I'd like to check that out.

Thank you everyone who has reviewed on the day this came out all the way until now. I'm not going to babble much long, so all of you can get to the story. Enjoy!

I do not own Naruto or RWBY characters, plot, settings, or etc. They are owned by Kishimoto Masashi, and his team as well as Monty Oum/Rooster Teeth respectively. Please support the official releases! (Which I'm sure everyone already does ^^)

"Hello" - Normal

"Hello" - Thoughts/Flashbacks/Dreams


Naruto was still jumping through the trees trying to find Sasuke. He figured that it was best the two of them were partners considering Professor Ozpin had said to find someone that they would work well with. He landed on a branch after a couple of minutes and listened to his surroundings because something had caught his attention. It sounded like a gun of some sort being shot multiple times followed by feminine yells of excitement and joy. The former Jinchuuriki followed the voice managing to barely keep up with them. He then saw Yang roll onto the ground in order to break her fall. She did stumble a bit, but quickly came to a fast paced walk.

"Helllloooooo!" The lilac eyed young woman called out, although she didn't notice the presence of Naruto, and another figure that ran quickly by. "Is anyone out there? Heeeelllllooooo! I'm getting bored here." Yang complained a bit before turning to the sound of rustling bushes. "Is someone there?" She asked as she walked over to the origin of the noise. "Ruby is that you?" The young woman asked, while a creature growled.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at having seen the shadowy figure run by at speeds that were pretty impressive. He was about to come down and make himself known when the bushes were rustling again from a different direction. The young man turned towards where Yang was inspecting the noise, and immediately heard the growl.

"Nooooooooope" Yang finished as she immediately dodged rolled to the side to avoid an attack from an Ursa.

Ember Celica changed from bracelets into gauntlets as Yang got into her fighting stance. She did a back handspring to avoid another Ursa that jumped out of the bushes. The first Ursa charged at Yang, but she ducked down a bit before throwing a punch at its chest. The hit landed, and sent the Ursa flying back with its raw kinetic force behind the gun part of it. The second Ursa immediately attempted to follow up by lunging at the girl, but the blond haired girl di an uppercut on the Ursa in the chin before kicking the creature in the abdomen. She used the forced from her weapon to make the Ursa tumble from the attack before coming to a rest.

"You guys wouldn't have happened to have seen a girl in a red hood, would you?" Yang playfully asked.

Naruto jumped down from his perch, which was behind the Ursa's, and flipped in the air before bringing an ax kick into the second Ursa's head slamming it into the ground. The former shinobi proceeded to use the momentum to backflip, and turn in midair as he then ran up the first Ursa's back. The bear like Grimm was confused by this, and attempted to find out what was on his back, although its face was met with a foot the face. Naruto sent the dazed Ursa skidding to the side, as he landed on the ground before jumping backwards. He landed next to Yang, and unsheathed one of his weapons while taking a fighting stance.

"I highly doubt they've seen your sister Yang, although unless you can speak their language I'm more than sure they'll let you know if they have." Naruto replied in a joking manner, although made sure to not make eye contact with the young woman to prevent having to be her partner.

Yang glanced to the former Jinchuuriki and raised an eyebrow. "Well doesn't hurt to try either way. It's also rude to avoid eye contact with someone when talking to them, Whiskers." She replied in a playful hurt comment.

Naruto glared ever so slightly at the comment, but kept his gaze on the monsters. "Sorry no offense, but I need Sasuke as my partner, since he's not the friendliest of people in the world, ya know? I wouldn't want to put that kind of curse on anyone." He teasingly retorted, although both turned and looked at the Ursas, whom were now growling.

The two creatures of darkness charged the two blond teens. The second Ursa attempted to slash at Naruto, although he crossed his swords together to cause a deadlock. He struggled to keep it from overpowering him, although it was obvious it was working considering this particular Grimm was more brute strength. The former Jinchuuriki managed to push its arm to the side, and kick it in the side. He followed up by quickly slashing at its arm, although the Grimm brought his arm back and hit Naruto in the face. The surprise attack caused the young man to spin in the air, but recovered in mid-air before coming to a sliding halt.

The first monster slashed diagonally then horizontally at Yang, whom managed to dodge both attacks with a back handspring. "Whoa! Jeez you can't hit the broad side of a ba…" She stopped as she noticed a single strand of her blonde hair floating down to the ground. "You…." The lilac teen began as she closed her eyes, and opened them revealing that her eye color changed to a scarlet red. "You monsters!" She yelled in anger.

Yang then blitzed her victim, and began unleashing a barrage of punches on the unfortunate Ursa. The creature of darkness flew through three trees from the barrage of attacks. Naruto's eyes widen in fear at what he was watching. He really didn't expect to see this from Yang, yet much less because she lost a strand of hair. A slight shiver went down his spine at the rage of the girl, and made a mental note to never piss off the young blond girl as well as screw up her hair. The second Ursa watched what happened, and started getting closer to Yang.

"What?! You want some too?" The blonde woman yelled towards the second Ursa, whom roared in reply.

The Ursa's eyes seemed to have widen a bit before it fell to the ground. Blake looked up and made eye contact with Yang, before her gaze drifted off to Naruto, who now stood next to Ruby's sister. She pulled on the ribbon that was attached to Gamble Shroud in order to dislodge her weapon from the Ursa's back, before sheathing the weapon. She then smirked at Yang and Naruto, whom crossed his arms with awe.

"I've could've taken him." Yang replied in a cool like manner.

"Yeaaa, I agree she went all berserk over that first one." He chuckled a little nervously. "I mean this was over just some hair, ya know? I'm sure if she's super pissed then things would be even worse." Naruto replied without thinking, although his eyes widened in fear when he heard knuckles being popped.

"I'm sorry what was that you just said?" The lilac eyed teen replied in a deadly tone.

"I-I mean that evil Ursa deserved everything for messing with your hair. He probably deserved way more than what he got, ya know?" The blue eyed boy nervously replied while sweating a bit.

"That's what I thought you said." Yang smugly replied as Blake rolled her eyes.

"Well it looks like we're partners then unless you two are already partners?" Blake asked Yang.

"Nope! Whiskers here wants to find his emo friend, so you and I are partners." The blonde woman happily replied, which Blake nodded in understanding.

"Hey, you're that girl from the courtyard. I'm Naruto Namikaze. I don't think we officially met the last time." Naruto commented in a friendly manner, and a big smile.

"Blake Bellondna." The Faunus girl replied before looking at Yang. "We better head to the ruins, and collect those artifacts before it gets any later." Blake advised.

Yang gave a nod in acknowledgement as Naruto did the same. "I'll tag along with you two for now. I'm sure I'll run into Sasuke in time. I highly doubt he'll make eye contact with anyone because he's not exactly a people person. I bet people don't wanna be his partner either, since he's pretty scary." The former Jinchuuriki commented as Blake and Yang nodded in understanding before heading off towards the ruins.

-Deep in Emerald Forest-

A Beowulf hit Weiss causing her to slide back. She slowly stood up, and looked at the creatures in front of her, while getting her blade ready. Sasuke held his blade in a reverse grip. He was waiting to see how things would turn out. The young Uchiha had aimed only to interfere if she needed it, since he wasn't one to get into other people's business if it wasn't needed. A part of him wondered why he was even willing to help this girl, although he could only image having to deal with Naruto annoying him because he chose not to help.

"Remember your training, Weiss. Head up, shoulders back, right foot forward….not that forward. Slow your breathing, and wait for the right time to strike." The heiress thought to herself as the cylinder spun around landing on the red dust. "And….now!" She dashed forward, although her eyes widened in surprise.

"Gotcha!" Ruby yelled as she hit the Beowulf Weiss was aiming for.

This screwed up Weiss' concentration, and she slashed to the side. A trail of fire flew along the ground, and ended up heading towards the tree Sasuke was in. Sasuke's eyes widened a bit as he reacted by jumping away. The onyx eyed teen landed on the ground a fair distance in front of the girls, although the beowolves already started surrounding him as well. Weiss and Ruby were both surprised by Sasuke's presence, which caused the red hooded girl to get surprised attacked by one of the Grimm. She flew back and crashed into Weiss.

"Hey watch it!" Ruby annoyingly said as she stood up.

"Excuse me, you attacked out of turn. I could've killed you!" The heiress retorted.

"You'll have to try a lot harder than that." The silver eyed girl mumbled.

The two girls stood back to back to each other as the beowolves surrounded them. Sasuke was currently deflecting slashes from the alpha of the pack. He managed to create an opening by throwing the leader off balance, before he kicked the creature in the side. This only angered the creature of darkness as it immediately retaliated, along with a couple of other beowolves. The two smaller ones kept Sasuke busy as they continued to attack him, although Sasuke was beginning having trouble on keeping up. The two lesser Grimm jumped out of the way as the alpha lunged at Sasuke. The young Uchiha brought his weapon up in a defensive position, but didn't expect the amount of force behind the lunge, which caused him to slide backwards a bit.

He was now standing back to back with the two other girls. Three Grimm, including the alpha, started circling the three students. Sasuke narrowed his eyes a bit as he got in his fighting stance like the two girls. The beowolves proceeded to charge at the three humans, although Ruby thought of a quick idea

"Duck!" The silver eyed girl yelled quickly.

Sasuke reacted immediately, and listened to what Ruby had said, although Weiss hesitated for a split second. It almost cost her an injury as Ruby almost immediately spun around with Crescent Rose, although the heiress managed to dodge in time. It sliced into all three of the Grimm, although one of the lesser beowolves managed to quickly recover and continued its charge. Sasuke noticed it was coming at him, and responded by blitzing the monster as well. The creature of darkness swiped once horizontally, which Sasuke easily went under. Lightning sparked around him as he turned around and stabbed his weapon upwards. The blade, which was covered with lightning, pierced the under the chin. It went through its skull immediately causing the being to go limp. Sasuke kicked off the dead Grimm as a burning tree fell onto the ground close to the group setting the area around them on fire.

"We have to go!" Weiss urgently replied to Ruby as she grabbed her arm before taking off along with Sasuke, while the alpha started howling causing the pack to retreat.

The trio ran a decent distance before coming to a stop. Sasuke looked over from where the smoke was coming from and sighed a bit in annoyance. He glanced at the two girls, before sheathing his weapon. The two girls were breathing heavily, while Ruby glanced behind her to make sure they weren't being followed before she turned to Weiss.

"What was that? That should have been easy!" Ruby yelled at Weiss.

"Well perhaps if you have excised even the slightest amount of caution with the placement of your strikes I wouldn't have set the forest on fire!" The heiress retorted.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" The younger girl questioned

"I'm just surprised that someone that talks so much would communicate so little during an encounter." The red hooded girl argued, while Sasuke was visibly starting to grow annoyed.

"Well I'm sorry that you need my help to fight! I'm just fine on my own!" Ruby countered back.

"That's enough!" Sasuke yelled as he walked over to the two girls. "You both are annoying and childish. I expect both of you won't survive long if you don't quit it. I won't be here to save you next time, nor would I want to if you two are just going to argue with each other. If this is what the world has to offer with Huntresses, then we're doomed. As far as I'm concerned you both are dead weight." Sasuke rudely finished as he walked past Ruby and Weiss.

Weiss and Ruby were visibly stunned by the comment Sasuke made. It was a surprise to hear the apparently quiet teen actually speak a lot, which meant they both must have pissed him off a lot. The Uchiha's comment was also a low blow to the two of them for different reasons. Weiss was going to make a retort, although Sasuke had already started walking off. She glared at Ruby before deciding to follow behind Sasuke. Ruby frowned a bit before yelling in frustration as she cut a tree in half with Crescent Rose. The silver eyed girl proceeded to follow the two older teens. The frustration was great to the point neither noticed a black feather fall to the ground on top of the tree that Ruby just cut in half.

-Near Deathstalker's Cave-

Pyrrha and Jaune were walking through the forest heading in a different direction from the ruins. The forest had thrown off their sense of direction a bit, although neither of the two students knew about this. The red head moved aside a bush, although Jaune stopped and turned towards the direction of a noise.

"Did you hear that?" The scraggly boy asked.

"Gunfire…it seems some of our comrades have encountered the enemy." Pyrrha stated before the duo continued walking.

The green eyed girl moved a branch out of the way, although it managed to hit Jaune in the face knocking him to the ground. "Jaune! I'm sorry" Pyrrha apologized.

"Heh, it's ok. Just a scratch" The young man replied in a nonchalant manner as he stood back up.

"Why didn't you activate your Aura?" She questioned the young man.

"Huh?" Jaune confusingly replied.

"Your Aura?" Pyrrha repeated.

"Gesundheit." The blue eyed boy responded.

"Jaune, do you know what Aura is?" The red head beauty asked.

"Pfff, of course I do! Do you know what Aura is?" Jaune said in an attempt to play it off, although after a few seconds he released a defeated sigh. "Okay, so I don't know too much about it. In fact, I only generally know of it…." The young man admitted

"Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears our burden, and shields our hearts. Have you ever felt like you were being watched without knowing that someone was there?" Pyrrha asked.

"Uhhh….yea" He replied.

"With practice our Aura can be our shield. Everyone has it even animals." Pyrrha continued to explain.

"What about monsters?" Jaune questioned.

"No, the monster we fight lack a soul. They are creatures of Grimm. The manifestation of amenity. They are the darkness, and we are the light." The green eyed girl said.

"Right! That's why we fight them." The blue eyed boy commented.

"It's not about why. It's about knowing. Understanding both dark and light helps us manifest our Aura. Everyone has some of both. By bearing your soul outward as a force, you can deflect harm. All of our tools and equipment are conduits for Aura. You project yourself, and your soul when fighting." Pyrrha finished.

"It's like a force field!" Jaune exclaimed.

"Yes, if you wanna look at it that way." The red head amusingly replied.

"But wait….if our Aura protects us, and are weapons are just conduits how come Naruto and his friend were able to walk on walls?" He questioned in a confused manner.

Pyrrha frowned a bit. "I can't be too sure. I've never seen anyone do that before. The only thing I can think of is that it's because they're from a different place. Professor Ozpin stated they were from an isolated village, so maybe they harnessed Aura a little different compared to us…then again they just may be different. I don't think it's a semblance because after the launch I had noticed Sasuke using lightning." Pyrrha stated voicing her thoughts.

"What do you mean by different?" Jaune questioned.

"Well…..I'm not sure how to really explain it, but Naruto Aura seems to be a little different. It's like there's something else there besides his Aura, although maybe it's just my imagination…." The red haired beauty commented.

"Really? I don't know he seems pretty normal to me. Maybe you're just overthinking things?" Jaune stated.

"Yea, maybe I am…" She thought, although still had some suspicions of the two. "Anyways, close your eyes and concentrate." Pyrrha commanded as she put her hand on Jaune's cheek.

"Uh…..o-ok?" The young man nervously said while closing his eyes with Pyrrha doing the same, before briefly opening them.

A red glow began to surround Pyrrha as she focused her on her Aura. "For it is in pashing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite, distance, and unbound by death I release you soul, and by my shoulder I protect the." Pyrrha finished thinking before she bent over in exhaustion.

"Pyrrha?!" Jaune exclaimed a bit voicing his concern.

"It's alright. I used my Aura to unlock yours, but the energy that protects you now is your own…." She calmly explained, while recovering before smiling as Jaune's cut was healed. "And you have a lot of it." Pyrrha stated.

"Wow" The young man replied in awe of the energy flowing through him.

"Now come on, we must be getting close to the ruins." The green eyed woman said, before turning and walking in the direction they were headed.

"W-wait for me!" Jaune called out as he went to catch up with Pyrrha.

-Clearing of Emerald Forest-

Lie Ren was walking alone through a dark field with tall grass within Emerald Forest. He stopped for a split second as he felt something was off around him. The magenta eyed boy narrowed his eyes a bit, while looking around him. An enormous black snake, which easily dwarfed Ren, with large red eyes, and white bony covering with red markings on the top of its head revealed itself from the tall grass. It raised its head up, and started hissing before immediately slithering around Ren. The young man took a fighting stance as the creature of darkness coiled around itself once, before attempting to strike at Ren.

He did a series of back handsprings in order to avoid the attack, before jumping in the air. The King Taijitu hit the ground, but immediately followed up by going after the airborne Ren, whom crossed his arms in front of himself to block the attack. The sheer force of the creature sent Ren further back as he twisted his body in air in order to recover. The young man slid across the ground a bit as the snake-like Grimm started coiling around him. Ren pulled Stormflower from his sleeves, before jumping straight up to get out of being crushed. He started firing at the creature of darkness, before twisting his body to kick the snake in the face causing it to cry out in pain and hit the ground.

The black headed portion of the Grimm tried to get up, but Ren slashed at it with the blades on his weapon right below its head. The giant creature slither around and struck at the magenta eyed boy again, although Ren back flipped into the air before stabbing the Grimm in the head causing it to hiss in pain. Lie Ren listened to his surroundings as he started hearing another hiss behind him. He looked up a bit before turning his head around instantly spotting the white half of the King Taijitu. The white half attempted to consume Ren, although the young man cartwheeled to the side to avoid being eaten. The black portion recovered as the twins started hissing once again getting ready to continue their assault.

Lie Ren had a look of worry upon his face for a split second, although remained calm in the situation. Ren ran towards the creature of darkness and jumped onto the black portion, which tried to strike at him before. He ran along its body before sliding down it firing at the creature. The young man flipped over the white half, although the white portion managed to hit him with its head. Ren's weapons got knocked away from him as he shook his head a bit. The black portion rose up before striking at Ren in order to consume him.

"No!" Ren yelled as he brought his hands up.

Lie Ren had creature a shield made of his Aura, which was pulsing to keep the King Taijitu from consuming him. He was struggling to hold the creature back, but grabbed its fangs. The young man proceeded to use his strength with the help of his Aura to break off the front fangs causing the creature of darkness to cry out in pain. It roared in anger as it tried to attack once more, but Ren dodged to the side, and stabbed one of its fangs into the right eye. The black portion tried to get up, but Ren had already brought his hand back before thrusting his palm forward. He used his Aura to send the fang drilling through the creature's skull, and effectively obliterating the head. A cloud of black smoke started rising from the decapitated portion.

Ren looked at the white head, and continued his assault. He picked his weapons up from the ground along the way, before he jumped over the remaining half when the creature attempted to strike at him. Ren turned around and began firing at it from mid-air before he landed on its body. The King Taijitu attempted to strike, but the young man moved to the side causing it to bite itself. Ren didn't let the opportunity escape him as the creature rose up, and cried out in pain. He jumped just below its mouth and stabbed both of the blades before sliding down the length of the body that was up in the air. Black smoke came out of the wound as Ren went down, then he proceeded to use its body as leverage to backflip onto the black half. The last half of the Grimm fell down limp a couple of seconds later as Ren put his weapons back up his sleeves. The magenta eyed boy began to dust himself off after finally beating the creature.

"Crraaaaaaawwwwww crrrrrawwwwwwww!" Nora called out in an attempt to make a sloth noise.

Ren turned around seeing the girl hanging upside down from a tree, and giving a small sigh. "I still don't think that's what a sloth sounds like." He commented with a small smile on his face.

Nora had a big smile on her face, before reaching over and poking Ren in the nose. "Boop." The orange haired girl responded as she flipped around, and landed on the ground.

"Let's go get those relics, Nora." Ren calmly stated, as he jumped down from the King Taijitu's corpse onto the ground.

"Aye aye, Sir!" Nora playfully replied with a small salute causing Ren to smile a bit, before walking forward. "Oh, Ren! I got a great and fun idea on how to get to the ruins." The orange haired girl gleefully stated.

"And what exactly is this idea, Nora?" The magenta eyed boy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ohhhh, you'll seeeee." She mysteriously replied, while skipping ahead of Ren.

"Why do I get the feeling this is going to be a bad idea….." Ren silently commented with a small sigh before following his childhood friend.

-Beacon Cliffs-

Glynda Goodwitch walked up to Ozpin, while looking at a screen. "Our second to last pair has been formed, Sir. It's Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren….poor boy. I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still, he's probably better off than Miss Nikos." The middle aged woman commented.

"Hmm" Professor Ozpin responded to Glynda's comment in thought.

"I don't care what his transcripts say. That Jaune fellow isn't ready for this level of combat. I guess we'll find out soon enough, and then there's our last remaining two that have yet to form a pair. Are you sure that Naruto Namikaze and Sasuke Uchiha can help change the outcome of something that might not even come? They seem even more opposite compared to Nora and Ren. Are we even sure we can trust this Mr. Uchiha? If what little you had told me is true, then shouldn't there be cause to be concerned? Either way, at their current pace they should reach the temple in a couple of minutes….." Glynda stated voicing her thoughts as she walked off, although turned around a couple of seconds later. "Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year….Professor Ozpin?" She asked, although the headmaster was distracted by the video feed that was showing Ruby, Weiss, and Sasuke.

-Deeper within Emerald Forest-

Ruby was sitting on the ground playing with the grass, while Sasuke was leaning against a tree as Weiss was pacing back and forth. "It's definitely this way…..I mean this way! It's definitely this way. Alright, its official we passed it." The heiress finally admitted.

"Why can't you just admit that we have no idea where we're going?" Ruby questioned.

"Because I know exactly where we're going. We're going…to….the forest temple." Weiss stated in attempt to keep Ruby from being right.

"Agggghhhh, yea right." The red hooded girl replied in disgust, while Sasuke slowly reached into his weapons pouch.

"Oh stop it! You don't know where we're at either." The white haired girl retorted.

"Well at least I'm not pretending like I know everything." Ruby responded.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Weiss questioned

"It means you're a big stupid jerk, and I hate you!" The silver eyed girl exclaimed.

"Ughhhh, just keep moving." Weiss commanded.

"Ahhh, just keeping moving, hurry up! Waaaaahhhh, watch where you're going!" Ruby mocked. "Why do you have to be so bossy?!" The younger girl questioned

"I'm not bossy! Stop saying things like that." Weiss yelled as she turned around, and walked back towards Ruby.

"Stop treating me like a kid!" Ruby retorted in anger.

"Stop acting like a kid!" The heiress insulted

"Well stop acting like you're perfect!" The short girl responded in anger.

The two were cut off by a kunai that flew right in-between their faces. Both the girls screamed in fright from the sudden interruption. Ruby fell the ground, while Weiss stumbled back a bit. The two girls looked over at Sasuke, whom started walking in-between them to retrieve his projectile. The young Uchiha dislodged it from a tree before turning around.

"What the heck was that for?! You could have seriously injured us or something!" Weiss yelled as she walked up to Sasuke with a death glare in her eyes. "What are you trying to do kill us?" She questioned.

Sasuke had an impassive look upon his face as Ruby stood a little behind Weiss. Ruby's eyes widened first as Sasuke was behind Weiss with the dull edge of his weapon against her throat. The heiress' eyes grew a second later in realization at what position she was just in. It literally surprised her that he could be so fast, and was threatening her at the moment. Her eyes glossed over a little in fright of being killed right there and then. Ruby froze in fear seeing his speed, which wasn't as fast as hers, yet still really impressive. The red hooded girl couldn't move because of the paralyzing fear that was coming from her.

"If I wanted to kill you I would have done it a long time ago." Sasuke coldly replied as he moved the dull edge from her throat and sheathed his blade once again. "You two are just pathetic. You both are wasting my time right now. The only reason at this point I'm following you is because you both make good distractions against monsters." The young Uchiha looked at Ruby, whom cowered from the empty look in Sasuke's eye. "You say you don't want to be treated like a child, then stop acting like one by causing this idiotic argument. You're worse than that blond idiot, Naruto." He then turned to Weiss, whom had turned to look at Sasuke with fear still in her eyes. "You need to drop that perfect crap. It's obvious you don't know where you're going, and as it stands I could take the two of you in a fight without breaking a sweat because you both argue so much. I'm more near perfection than you could ever hope to accomplish at this point." Sasuke insulted as he turned around and began to walk away. "Now I suggest we find where the ruins are, so we can collect these artifacts." He stated before walking off.

"H-his eyes are so empty…." Ruby silently commented as she shook off the fear, before looking at Weiss. "Weiss….are you ok?" She asked out of concern seeing as her life was threatened.

Weiss blinked her eyes a couple of times before looking at Ruby. "Y-yea…..I'm fine. Let's go find the way to the ruins." She silently stated.

"Yea…." The red hooded girl silently replied.

As they were walking, Weiss was deep in thought. The way Sasuke's eyes looked reminded her a bit of herself. Although, his held a lot of darkness and rage. A part of her wondered what would cause someone to act like that towards allies, or anyone in general. They weren't anywhere even close to acquaintances, but still they were technically allies at this point seeing as what's happened so far. His eyes seemed pretty soulless now that she got a good look at them, although there was more to it than that she was sure, but at the moment Weiss didn't know. The heiress frowned though, since what Sasuke had said held some truth to it regardless of how it was said.

Ruby followed behind Weiss unsure what to make of the situation. She wondered if Sasuke would have actually followed through with the threat seeing as that projectile of his almost hit one of them in the face. A small shiver went down her spine at the thought, and didn't understand how someone also injure an ally. She understood if he was a bully or a huge jerk, although Sasuke didn't appear to be either of those for the most part. It was also strange how Naruto was even friends with him, considering they both were basically polar opposites. Ruby figured she could just ask Naruto why Sasuke acted the way he does. She noticed she was getting a little behind and went to catch up to Weiss, whom was walking behind Sasuke.

"Are we sure we're even going the right way? Everything looks pretty similar from done here." Ruby stated, while looking around.

"Hmmm from down here? What if we got a bird's eye view of the area? That should help us figure out which direction the ruins are." Weiss replied as Sasuke stopped walking, before turning towards the two young women, whom had also stopped walking.

"A bird's eye view huh? Well what if we use that?" The red hooded girl commented, while pointing up at a Nevermore that was flying flow, while circling around the group.

"What are you crazy?! I didn't mean it literally! Do you expect that thing to just give us a ride?!" The heiress exclaimed, while frowning.

"We force it." Sasuke simply stated as he pulled out a handful of shuriken.

The young Uchiha anticipated the Grimm's pattern, before throwing the shuriken at the Nevermore with pinpoint accuracy, and fast speed. The metal projectiles cut through the air as each of them, except for one, hit the bony like mask causing them to get deflected, while the last one managed to get slightly embedded just about the bony structure. The Nevermore hovered for a second not affected by the shuriken, and looked over at where the items came from. It immediately began to dive for the group. Sasuke started running towards it, while Ruby followed after. Weiss was a little hesitant, but chased after the other two.

As the Nevermore got closer, Sasuke used his Aura to jump up high in order to grab onto the fin like structure on its head. He pulled back on the protrusion hard effectively causing the creature to start veering up. Ruby used her speed to jump and grab onto the side of Grimm hanging on for dear life, while Weiss used her semblance to do the same. The Nevermore attempted to shake Sasuke off, although the onyx eyed boy held on with an iron grip. He looked around after the Nevermore was a high enough distance, before spotting the ruins far in the distance. Sasuke started guiding the creature of darkness to the intended destination.

"This is by far the worse, and craziest idea ever!" Weiss yelled through the wind.

-At Deathstalker's Cave-

Jaune and Pyrrha stumbled upon a cave that had a drawing of what looked like to be people fighting some creature. "You think this is it?" The scraggily teen asked.

"Only one way to find out." Pyrrha replied, although she was suspicious of the cave.

Jaune nodded slightly and began looking around for materials to make a torch. When he found all the necessary items, he brought the torch to life. The duo walked into the cave with Jaune leading and lighting the way. Pyrrha was constantly looking around with a slight worried look upon her face.

"I'm not sure if this is it…" The red headed beauty said out loud.

"Pyrrha…I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for five more feet?" Jaune asked with a sigh, before he tripped and fell into a puddle causing their light source to get extinguish. "Ow…" He silently swore as he stood up.

"Do you feel that?" Pyrrha asked sensing something to be out of place.

"Soul crushing regret?" The young man replied in a negative tone.

"No it's…..warm…" She said in a confused manner.

"I'm sure it's nothing. Why don't we continue? I bet we're just getting close to the relics." Jaune stated before he started walking forward once again.

The two of them continued walking in total darkness, using the walls of the cave to keep them going in the right direction. Pyrrha noticed the area was starting to get slowly lit up, until they came upon a yellow glowing pointed object. They both stopped in front of it, while Pyrrha held a skeptical look, and Jaune an excited one.

"That's the relic!" He yelled out excitedly, while trying to group it, although it moved back a bit. "Hey! Bad relic." The blue eyed teen scolded as he tried to grab it again, and ended up jumping for it. "Gotcha!" He said in triumph as a growling noise started appearing.

"J-Jaune…." The red headed beauty silently commented with worry.

The Deathstalker's hissed as the red markings on its body started glowing in the dark. Jaune let out a very loud and high pitched scream that could be mistaken for a girl's. Pyrrha turned and started dashing for the entrance. The Grimm hissed some more as it chased down the young woman, while Jaune was screaming out in terror. Pyrrha managed to make it out safely, although the Deathstalker used its claws to protect its face as it broke through the entrance, and roared in anger.

"Pyrrha, this is not the relic! It's not! Do something!" Jaune cried out as the creature of darkness tried to get the young man off its stinger.

"Jaune! Whatever you do don't let…" Pyrrha attempted to warn, although the scorpion like being managed to send Jaune flying through the air. "go…." She quietly finished, while watching Jaune disappear into the distance, then turning back and looking at the Deathstalker with a nervous smile, before running away.

-The Abandoned Temple-

Yang, Blake, and Naruto walked out of the tree line, and were standing on a ledge as the blonde. Just a little further off was a partial intact stone ruin that held about nine black and nine yellow chess pieces on pedestals. Each piece had exact copy of itself, expect it was of the other color.

"Do you guys think this is it?" Yang asked as she glanced at the two, before looking back at the relics.

"Unless there's another test going on that we don't know about, then I doubt it." Naruto replied with a hint of sarcasm, while Blake glared a bit at Yang before the trio walked down to the area.

"Chest pieces?" The yellow eyed girl commented with slight confusion as she walked up to the black kind chess piece.

"Some of them are missing….looks like we weren't the first ones here." Yang observed.

"Well…..I guess we should pick one." Blake stated, while Naruto jumped on top of the broken circle walkway, and sat down.

"You're not going to get one?" The cat Faunus asked the former Jinchuuriki.

"I'm not supposed to get one until I find my partner, so I'll just wait here until he arrives." Naruto replied with a smile as he kicked his legs back and forth.

"Whatever, you're call dude." Yang stated with a shrug as she looked at a yellow knight piece. "How about a cute little pony?!" She asked, while raising the piece in the air.

"Sure." Blake replied, with a small smile, and roll of her eyes.

"You two make interesting partners. I wonder how long it will take everyone else to arrive here. It wasn't hard to get here after all." Naruto said, while looking down at the two.

"Yea, just like how you and you're friend make an interesting pair." Yang teasingly retorted causing Naruto to glare slightly.

"Besides this place isn't that difficult to find, so it shouldn't take too long." Blake commented.

"Alright, so basically we just wait here and relax huh? Sweet! I don't mind relaxing a bit." Naruto exclaimed as he laid back.

Blake rolled her eyes a bit, although she looked up a bit as her ears managed to catch a scream slightly before Yang. Naruto sat up and looked at the direction it came from as he frowned a bit, while Yang turned around as soon as she heard the high pitched scream.

"Some girl is in trouble! Guys, did you hear that?! What should we do?" The violet eyed girl asked in a worried manner.

"Are you sure it was a girl? It kinda sounded like a guy a bit…." Naruto said in an open minded tone.

"Wait it's getting closer." The black haired Faunus commented as Jaune was coming closer, although they both caught another scream coming from above.

"Bonsaiiiiiiiiii" Ruby yelled as she was falling towards the ground, while waving her arms wildly

Naruto looked up and he saw Ruby falling from the sky, along with Sasuke diving towards the ground. "What the hell is going on?!" Naruto yelled in confusion, although immediately stood up in order to catch Ruby.
