Hope ya'll like today's chapter. Just one more before we wait for the next update.
Alright since we've gotten this far why don't I start." Weiss said taking the book. "Ahem, Chapter 8 Coconuts."
I think Blake might have a problem."
"Oh no." Blake moaned.
"Haha, yes suffer." Yang mocked.
"Oh come on Yang it can't be that bad." Ruuby said trying to find the brighter said of things.
"I think you spoil the girl too much." Ghira stated as Kali cuddled up to him, kind of. She was working on a sewing a pillow that had the names of all of their family members on it. She was even stitching the Belladonna symbol into the back of it. After she had made Naruto Pillow... Pillow Naruto for Blake she had gotten back into sewing in general, and had been making even more pillows, blankets, shirts, jackets, coats, and scarfs. She had turned her forgotten hobby back into her current hobby. "Anyway, she misses her brother, I see nothing wrong with that. Her methods for coping are just unusual." Ghira spoke up in the defense of Blake.
"Okay I'm no expert but even I think that's a bit much." Yang said.
"I'm only missing my brother is that so bad." The faunas argued.
"Make a pillow out of him maybe not. But when you make blankets. scarfs and even shirts than yeah."
"Though you have admit it does take a creative talent to do something like this." Weiss complimented.
Kali pouted.
"Huh she even has the same pout as yo do." Ruby added.
"I do not pout." Blake said unknowingly pouting.
"You're doing it right now." Weiss claimed earning a bright blush from said woman.
"She takes Pillow Naruto everywhere she goes, and she has placed Poster Naruto's up all over her room. I think she might be a little obsessed." Kali started off carefully.
"And there we have exhibit A." Yang said.
Ghira wasn't a fan of having the mental states of his children put into question.
"What parent does?" Weiss questioned.
"Kali... the girl threw a fit when we tried to give her, her own room as a child. She has looked up to Naruto her entire life, and he has been with her, her entire life. She wouldn't talk to us for two weeks when we tried to make her stop taking baths with Naruto." Ghira explained his opinion on the matter, the start of his opinion. Naruto had been the one true constant in Blake's life. While he himself would sometimes go out to do things for the White Fang, and Kali would go out and do the shopping, Naruto would always be by her side.
"Okay I think I see what you mean." Blake said, lightly blushing.
"So did he mean that you still take baths with him or you stopped on your own?" Ruby asked. While no one answered Weiss had a small blush at the image she had, Yang lightly drool on her. While Blake blushed and had a small nose bleed.
Naruto leaving had really shaking Blake up, so she was trying to fill the hole that Naruto had left by leaving, with things that reminded her of Naruto. It was her own method of coping with the stress of him not being around.
"I'm afraid she is using these... things to run away from the truth, that Naruto isn't around." Kali mentioned, and Ghira sighed deeply.
"Boy, you really are a spoiled sister." Yagn argued.
"Excuse me." Blake asked offended.
"Well I mean. You're so attached to you big brother that if you had the chance you'd probably marry the guy." Yagn argued.
"I'm not going to date my own brother!"
"But technically his you adopted big brother so. Is it really a crime." Ruby added.
"Whatever."
"Her Semblence."
The Semblence was the one truth of a person. Something that was vitally important to their character, who they were. Naruto had no Semblence because he had no Aura, but Blake had both an Aura, and was trained in her Semblence. You could have a Semblence examined, and have the Semblence owner get a review to see what the Semblence said about the person.
Blake's Semblance was cloning herself, because she wasn't emotionally strong enough to handle things. She would rely on the strength of others to give her strength, and when that failed she would try to run away.
Blake simply moaned and sink faster in her seat."
That was when Naruto would give her his strength.
"I'm afraid she will run away to go and find Naruto. It's dangerous out there. I didn't even like letting Naruto leave home... Blake isn't as strong as her brother. What if she sneaks out, and gets hurt looking for him?" Kali worried over both of her children equally. She was terrified of the thought of them getting hurt.
"No offense Blake but if I had a brother like that, I'd probably would. " Yang said.
"No taken."
Naruto was different though.
Naruto could hunt, cook, and take care of himself in the wild at the age of 2. Instincts like that didn't go away, and Naruto was able to survive the harshness of the world. Blake didn't have that sort of ability, and she was just a young girl. She didn't have the kind of training that would allow her to take on the world alone, and what a harsh world it was... even more so for a young Faunus who had never left Menagerie.
"Oh yeah, since you've never left to join the white fang you don't really know the world outside from here." Ruby said.
"Not to mention the limitation on how much I can fight." "Blake added.
"You have nothing to worry about Kali. Blake is a smart girl, she knows that she can trust her brother to come back home. That's why I picked her to become the next Leader of the White Fang after all." Ghira spoke with pride in his voice.
"I'm sorry what?!" Weiss said.
"*Sigh* Yes my father was also part of the White Fang. But only with the group that actually protest! Not the hard-core one."
"We are going to a have serious talk about this Blake Belladonna!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Oooh, she last named her." Ruby said.
"Yeah she's in trouble." Yang chuckled.
His children were the ones he believed in most.
As the eldest, he had picked Naruto for the position of the future Chief of Menagerie. Naruto was loved by their people, and he had already proven his physical strength by fighting grimm that would wonder into Menagerie. Not to mention many people already looked up to Naruto as their future leader, a shining beacon for them to follow. He had the heart of a leader, the strength to stand at the front of the battlefield, and the approval of the faunus of Menagerie.
He also fully believed that Blake would be the peaceful leader that the White Fang needed, she looked up to her brother so much that nobody would work with him better than her. While he led the people of Menagerie, she would be the example of love that the White Fang needs to follow. She would rally for peace with the humans.
Both would hold important roles in the future of Faunus-kind.
Blake smile at that paragraph.
"I can see that happening." Ruby added.
"She takes after me in that area." Kali joked a little. She wasn't as smart as her husband was, but she wasn't a bimbo either. She was comfortably above average, though she did like romance novels more than she liked anything else.
She loved the love drama.
"Huh, so that's where you get your fasination in smut you called literature." Weiss commented.
"It's not smut it artistic drama!" Blake argued.
"Then how come I'm not allowed to read it?" Ruby asked.
"We keep telling you, when your older!" Yang said.
"Believe in Blake more. She's a good girl, and even though she misses her brother, she isn't going to do anything bad." Ghira promised her, and she smiled. Kali uncuddled from him, and got onto her feet. She nodded her head, and took a ribbon that she had done off of the table, before she folded it up.
"I'm going to take this to Blake, then I'm going to bed. If Naruto calls, please wake me up. God knows our son would forget his head if it wasn't attached to his body." Kali laughed as she recalled some of the times her son forgot things.
She wondered what he was doing now?
"Eh, I'm sure he's fine." Yang said.
-With Naruto-
"Look on the bright side..."
"I'm staring at the bright side, you are on the dark side. You're cooking slower than I am right now." Emerald deadpanned as she stared down at the fire that was being used to slowly cook her body. She was tied to a thick stick, with Naruto tied to the other side of the stick. The two of them were being spun around, the fire was making Emerald sweat. Naruto was used to heat, so it didn't bother him as much as it did her.
Three of team RWBY looked at Yagn with a dead panned expression.
"Okay error have been made." Yang said sheepishly.
They had walked into a village of cannibals.
"Of course they had why not." Blake complained.
Well, they were humans that ate humans. Seeing as Naruto was a faunus, it wasn't technically cannibalism if they tried to eat him. Then again, most of the people dancing around them we re wearing skulls over their heads, so it was hard to tell if they were human or faunus.
"How about we don't call them anything and try to get out of there!" Blake yelled.
"You do know they can't here you right?" Yang questioned, Blake turned to her with a glare. "Shutting up."
"Okay then, look on the tasty side. I have more muscle than you, so they will try and eat me first. You're pretty thin, they might let you go." Naruto cheerfully stated to her as he was facing the fire, and her facing the moon in the sky above. She grunted at the fact that she was slightly under the recommended weight for her height and age.
She had gained a little healthy weight since she met him, but it would be a little while before she was at the healthy weight for her gender and age.
"That doesn't explain why he's optimistic about this." Weiss said.
"You are very upbeat about this."
"I also have freakish healing, so this really sucks for me. Whenever they take a bite of men, I'm just going to heal from it. I'm a cannibals dream meal... but I would rather not get eaten today either." Naruto said as he wiggled his hand into the back of her pants without anyone knowing. Emerald turned red when she felt his hand groping her butt.
"Well I guess if your brother was going to get eaten why not have one more touch before the ride." Yang joke."
"Hmph, pervert." Weiss grumbled.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, seeing as they don't speak our language, I would rather they not see what my hand is doing right now. This is a lot less suspicious." Naruto commented as he channeled his energy into his hand. He used her pants to hide the glowing of his fingernails as they took a sharper shape.
"I didn't he could do that." Ruby said.
"Must be an ability he came up with." Yang replied.
With a quick swip, he pulled his hand out of her pants, and slashed at the ropes holding them. Emerald jumped off of his body and landed next to the fire.
Naruto landed in the fire.
"Ooo, that's gotta hurt." Yang said.
"Well, he's got increased healing I'm sure he's been through worst."
"Not that I want to know." Blake added.
"HOT!"
"You okay?" Emerald asked when she saw Naruto jump out of the fire, patting the fires out all over his body, but completely unharmed. His fingernails in the shape of claws, before they stopped glowing and turned back to normal. Naruto's eyes, which had turned a shade of red, were no longer red, his changes gone. "Okay, you are out of the fire-"
"-but we are in the frying pan. I have a plan." Naruto told her, and she smirked.
"I would love to see his plans." Weiss said.
"I think he works as he goes along. Makes them up on the spot." Yang theorized.
"Just like someone I know."
"Make it sound if was a bad thing!" Ruby complained.
"Well it wouldn't kill you to come up with a plan before we get in to trouble!" Weiss argued.
"Do you two want to hear my brothers plan or not." Blake said, quieting down the two huntress's but they both knew this wasn't over.
"Is it stupid, hard to believe, and if it goes wrong are we going to end up in a worse mess because of it?" Emerald asked as the cannibals around them started to ready their spears. The people very much feral people.
"This must have happened recurrently." Weiss said.
"Yes, yes, and oh yes."
"Is it going to work?" Emerald asked with a growing smirk as she grabbed her own weapons out of the basket next to the fire. The people were going to cut them up with her own weapons and serve them like that after all. Naruto was cracking his knuckles, lowering himself to fight with his bare hands.
He really needed to visit Menagerie to go and get his weapon.
"Hey maybe you two will finally meet."
"So it really will be a cat fight?" Yang asked with a smirk.
"Ugh." Blake moaned in agitation.
"Have I ever led you wrong?"
"In the weeks I have known you, we have faced a Sea Dragon, been attacked by 3 hordes of Grimm, gotten involved in stopping Slave Traders from selling young women, and saved a small village from a Grimm invasion. Your stupid plans have yet to fail us before... I have no reason to think they will fail us now." Emerald stated with her cocky smirk in place as the cannibals started to circle around them, wary of them simply because they escaped the fire unharmed. These people weren't trained in the use of aura, so for Naruto to come out of fire unscathed would be odd for them.
"I don't know if your brother has the worst luck or a master planner." Weiss said in shock of the list things they went through.
"I feel it weigh to the latter than the former."
"You're big brother is a hero." Ruby said with stars in her eyes."
"Great now she's star struck." Yang said.
It was odd to Emerald since Naruto had no Aura, but she didn't think too much on it.
"Good, because I see a pile of coconuts nearby that we are going to use for this plan to succeed."
"How are coconut going to save their lives?!" Weiss cried indignantly.
-With Kali-
"Who knows what kind of trouble he is getting up to. I trust him to get himself out of any trouble that he gets into. I see you picked up coconuts at the store today." Ghira noted when he saw a coconut, and he grabbed one, before he cracked it against his had.
"Wow your old man must have a hard head."
"Actually that took a bit of time to do that." Blake replied.
"I keep telling you not to do that, you can really hurt yourself if you hit yourself in the wrong spot." Kali lectured Ghira when she saw him drinking out of the cracks in the coconut.
You would think he would learn after he knocked himself out with the coconut.
"Hehe, that really happened." Yang chuckled.
"Yeah my father had done five time before he finally figured out the "right way" in opening a coconut." Blake said adding air quote to "right way" in her sentence.
-With Naruto-
"Okay, THAT was a thing." Emerald stated as she looked at her surrounding. She and Naruto were both covered completely in coconut juices, with shattered remains of coconuts all around them. Many of the coconut pieces were still very much on fire from Naruto's plan, with all of the cannibals knocked out around them. Many of them covered in coconut pieces, and tied up with ropes at the same time.
Team RWBY laughed at the display on the screen.
She was surprised that worked.
"I don't think your the only one." Yang said looking at Weiss.
"I think we should leave, before they wake up... they won't fall for that a second time... and we are out of coconuts." Naruto stated as he looked at all of the coconut bits all over the place. Emerald walked around, looking at the people. "Don't even think about it Emerald, we already beat their asses for trying to eat us. Don't steal from them. I don't want a tribe of cannibals to be on my ass because of you." Naruto told her when he noticed her glancing at the gold necklace that was on one of the women.
"He does have a point." Blake agreed.
Emerald clicked her teeth.
"They tried to eat us."
"And she made an even better point." Yang said. "Severance pay of attempt cannibalism."
"I don't think the law works like that." Ruby said.
"Yeah, and I would rather NOT have a tribe of insane cannibals tracking us down. We already pissed them off, lets not give them reason to follow us. Emerald, no." Naruto spoke with more force, and she clicked her teeth again and tossed the gold necklace that she stole back onto the woman's body.
"And like that Naruto wins the argument." Weiss said."
Curse Naruto's ironclad morals.
"Well he is a hero."Ruby said.
"This is going to be a thing isn't it?" Blake questioned.
This was my fastest chapter yet, be ready when the next chapter comes out. As Always this OCmaniac signing off.
