Hey guys and girls.

So things have begun to take on a more interesting approach as Velvet has begun her relationship with Naruto. She has agreed to keep the fact of his true identity a secret but with Kasumi being in the same school, the linguering fact that blurting out his real name being Naruto is going even more higher by the day.

But Blake is now beginning to show some wear and tear as she has become even more distant with everything she has done. The team is becoming extremely worried about her and they are trying to get her to slow down. So they have decided to help her out with that. With slowing down.

As well, a large amount of transfers have shown up being that of some of them bumping into Naruto.

But Naruto must tell his team that they should call him Nero to keep his name hidden. Not to mention, team JNPR. Excluding Kasumi. We all know what will happen should she find out. A relentless hunt to end Naruto.

Can't have that now can we.

But don't worry. I have something planned there.

As well, I am admitting defeat. Due to a lot of you asking as to have Weiss' older sister in the harem, I admit defeat. Winter Schnee will be in the harem. The harem will be updated at the end of this chapter.

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 9: The Devil's Helps Out.

With Naruto now beginning to realize just how far his secret is gowing, he stormed into the dorm room while grabbing Team JNPR. Luckily for him, Kasumi wasn't in the room so that was a sigh of relief there. If she had been in there and saw her friends pulled out like that, she'd get suspicious and evesdrop on the conversation. One thing would lead to another and he would be comprimised. He knew he was wicked strong. And that he could snap her neck much like breaking a tooth pick. But there would be repercussions involved.

See, the Uzumaki-Namikaze name was a well reknowned name despite their exploits only being spoken about for a few days or weeks then dying out. They even held influence in the government and military.

So if he were to...I don't know say...break the arm of her should she have found out. Then it would only take a few minutes before an entire army was on his doorstep and have him killed. Or he could just out right kill the body and be done with it right?

Wrong!

Naruto remembered the day very clearly where sensors were placed into her body to see how she was doing. It happened when some of the radiation of Naruto's power affected her slightly. She wasn't a Grimm. Not by a long shot. But she had to be monitored by it as some of the power was now inside her. She couldn't sense Naruto or whatever at all which was a bonus on his end. Should Naruto kill her, those sensors would go off and alert every member of the house. And from there it was only a matter of time before he would again, face an army. Naruto had taken on hordes of Grimm before. But he never came out of them without scars. His last Grimm hunt, he faced a horde of well over 40 dozen Ursi.

He came out of that with fatigness and he was slightly bleeding out. His healing factor was above human, which was him being a freak of nature. But it would only kick in where he had some power in him still. So waiting for you to regain even a small drop of power before you go into your healing phase was a very long wait. So for now, he would just watch her. And ensure she doesn't find out about his true identity.

"What's wrong?" asked Jaune as he sat on the bed along with the others sitting down.

"I failed to mention something. You should not use my real name being Naruto." said Naruto crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why?" asked Pyrrha arching an eyebrow.

"My sister is most likely searching for me. Let me rephrase. She is looking for me. So calling my name while she is around is a big no no. I've told her my name is Nero. And I plan to keep it that way. The more she is in the dark the better. I don't like the fact of her knowing who I really am." said Naruto with Weiss shooting up.

"Um, no offense to you guys regarding your new team mate." she said with Team JNPR taking none. "But couldn't you just kill her and be done with it?"

Naruto simply chuckled a bit before becoming really serious.

"It may be true that I am incredibly strong. But I'm not strong enough to take on a whole fucking army. The Uzumaki-Namikaze name holds strong influence in the government and the army. So should anything happen to their little golden child. You can bet your ass that the entire military, Navy and Air Force will be on my ass. Sure I've taken on hordes of Grimm in the past. But I've never came out on top. I more scrape through." said Naruto throwing off his trench coat and pulling up his shirt showing a very big scar which looked to be three claw marks.

Everyone gasped at what they were seeing as Naruto shook his head at the mark he had. Pulling the tank top down he threw his trench coat back on. Fixing it up he went on to explain.

"That was the latest marking I got when I went into a fight with a horde of Grimm. 40 dozen were in the horde. I won the fight. But I was spent, so waiting for my Aura to recharge while trying not to bleed out was something I don't wanna go through again." said Naruto.

"So, your cover name is Nero." said Ruby with Naruto nodding his head.

"And we can only use your real name when your sister isn't around." said Nora with Naruto nodding his head again.

"We can do that. You can count on us to keep your secret hidden." said Weiss with everyone agreeing with her.

"Thank you guys. So much. This really means a lot to me." said Naruto with them leaving the dorm room.

With the issue cleared up they got down to business. Everyone turned to Blake as she was slowly moving to the door. But she was stopped by Weiss.

"You've been extremely distant as of late. So let me ask you. What is wrong?" she asked now balancing on a chair while looking down on Blake.

Naruto rubbed his eyes just to be sure he wasn't falling asleep. How the hell did she move that fast?

"It's nothing. I'm just gonna get some air." she replied making her way out the dorm with Weiss fixing the chair to be bak at the table.

With the door closing they all looked to each other.

"Okay, now I'm very much worried." said Naruto with the others agreeing with him.

"She is burn herself out the more she pushes herself like this. We have to get her to at least have some sleep." said Ruby with Naruto nodding while donning a thinking pose.

"I have to agree with Blake." he said breaking from his pose.

"Blake and I have fought together for some time when we were in The White Fang. For her to continuing be be boggled by the idea of a human working with them is something they would never do. But she has to put this on hold." said Naruto sounding desperate with Yang smirking at his tone.

"You sound like you're concerned." she said with Naruto shooting her a look.

"That's because I am. I've never seen her like this and it worries me so." he said as pulled out the tube in his pocket, popped the cap and swallowed down a pill.

"Then we get her mind off it." said Weiss.

"Agreed. We get to the bottom of why The White Fang are doing this." said Yang.

"Then its settled. We split up and get everything sorted out." said Ruby as a voice came from the door.

Turning to see who it was, they found Sun hanging upside down from a tree branch. All of them shot back a few feet and asked him how he got there.

"I do it all the time." he replied in his cheery voice.

"All the time?" growled Weiss while shooting him a death glare wondering if he was looking when she was changing.

"So, are we gonna sort out this mess or not?" asked Sun.

"I am not sure about this actually. We need to do this as a team." said Ruby with Sun tilting his head.

"But I've brought Neptune here to help." said Sun with them shooting to the window.

Right there on the ledge stood the blue haired man as he turned his head to them.

"Sup." he chirped.

"How the bloody hell did you get up here?" asked Naruto wondering.

"I have my ways. But seriously, can I come in? I don't like heights." said Neptune only for Naruto to sigh as he held a hand out for him to grab.

"I think this may actually work with their help. It would widen our net." said Naruto with Neptune thanking him.

"But we can't do it without Blake." said Ruby.

"I'll go get her." said Naruto making his way to the door.

Walking along the halls he found many of the students looking his way while giving him a wide berth. Naruto knew why they were parting like the Red Sea. Seeing his fight against Cardin, they knew he was not to be trifled with. His power was unparallel. And extremely powerful. Some respected him. Others feared him. It was like his old life never left him.

Finding Blake at the fountain, he sat down on her right while she turned to look at him.

"I know it's eating you away. But I have some news that will pick you up." said Naruto with Blake arching an eyebrow.

"I seriously doubt that." said Blake.

"Relax. We've decided to help you get to the bottom of this and see what is going on as to why The White Fang is working with a human." said Naruto with Blake's ears twitching inside her bow.

"Really?" she asked with Naruto nodding his head.

"Then let's go." she said as Naruto was pulled by her.

"That literaly took no effort." said Naruto as he was dragged to the dorm room.

Getting there they went over the plan. Weiss and Ruby would go in and infiltrate the CCT Tower and gather information regarding the Schnee Dust Company archives for Dust shipments stolen. Yang and Neptune would go to one of Yang's 'old friends' on information. While Naruto, Sun and Blake would go in and find a bunch of Faunus gathering for a gathering for new recuits for The White Fang.

With everything ready to go, they set out to do their part.

Later in the day. Night.

Walking along the alley, Blake stopped and looked behind her as she peered past the corner. She found two guards standing at the door. Pulling back from the corner, she handed Sun and Naruto a mask.

"These will help us blend in. Here we can find out just what they are up to." she said as the two took their mask.

"Uh, no offense, but Naruto is human. Won't he be found out very easily?" asked Sun while Naruto smiled along with Blake.

"I was waiting for that. Naruto?" stated Blake with Naruto nodding his head as he closed his eyes.

"Variant." whispered Naruto.

In a small flash of his Aura, Naruto's body morphed and shifted. He grew an inch taller, his nails grew slightly longer as his hair turned a light grey. His skin became slightly more pale and on his head emerged two small horns with it ending with his canines now slightly jutting out his top lip.

"Tada." stated Naruto while Sun stood there dumbfounded.

"Dude, you're like a Jack-In-The-Box. Full of surprises." said Sun as Naruto put his mask on.

"Let's get inside." said Blake walking off.

Getting inside they found a Commander busy prepping the new forces joining them. The team kept a watchful eye on anything suspicious and anything that looked out of the ordinary. But nothing seemed different until Torchwick stood out from behind the banner.

As he gave his speech, Naruto began to smell something that smelt like petrol. Thanks to his senses now being heightened thanks to his Variant being used on himself his senses were bolster to be higher than that of a Faunus. Tapping the two on their shoulders they turned to him.

"I smell petrol." he said with them beginning to look around for the cause.

But that was when Torchwick ripped the banner down and showed the item behind it. It was a mech. Armed to the teeth and pretty powerful from the looks of it.

"This is the power I give to you. With this in your grasp. You will be powerful beyond compare. You will be able to take back what belongs to you." said Torchwick with all the Faunus shouting cheering of praise.

With all the new recruits going to the stage, Torchwick's eyes landed on three individuals who were standing still. Sun's eyes landed on Torchwich then tapped Naruto and Blake's shoulder.

"He's onto us." said Sun with Naruto spotting a junction box.

"How good's your aim?" whispered Naruto to Blake.

"Who do you take me for?" she retorted as she slowly pulled out her weapon and fired at the junction box.

With the lights being killed, they bolted out the window with Torchwick jumping into the mech and giving chase to the group.

Throwing off their masks Blake climbed onto her phone.

"Guys, we got a problem." she said as the sprinted down the road.

"What type of problem?" asked Yang from the other line.

At that moment they passed the area Yang was in, with her turning around to see the giant mech following them.

"Hang on." said Yang as her and Neptune jumped on the bike.

Naruto brought out Gladius and morphed it back to Osiris and began to charge up some of his Aura into the scythe. The scythe soon glowed a violent blue as small arcs of lightning arced off the blade. Jumping into the air, he began to spin the scythe using the one handle on the side.

"Shredder!" he shouted as a wheel of energy lept from the scythe and sped to the mech.

The mech just jumped out the way as it continued its pursuit. Clicking his tongue as they made it to the freeway, they found everyone there. But they were cornered off when a wall of cars were thrown to block their way.

Naruto along with everyone else got ready to engage in battle with the mech.

"This is not looking good. I can't get into his mind." said Naruto frustrated that his Twist ability was canceled out so easily.

"Why?" asked Weiss.

"I need clear line of sight to use Twist. Should my view be obstructed, it is rendered useless." said Naruto as the mech charged at them.

Shooting off the bridge they dived down to the bottom with the mech hot on their heels. Looking at the mech with a glare. Naruto thought of something. Placing his scythe on his back he clasped his hands together and began to rub them together.

"This should help." said Naruto breathing onto his hands with a black mist eminating from his moving hands.

Soon the entire battlefield was covered in the mist and the visual sensors of the mech were rendered useless. Tracking lasers soon came to life as the mech began to search for them.

"What was that?" asked Ruby watching the mech.

"Nightmare Shroud. Seeing that Twist and this ability share something in common, being messing with the minds of people, it can only be used now to cancel his visual sensors. Let's get him." said Naruto as they charged forth.

But Neptune stepped wrong in their charge and gave away their position. The mech charged forth and slammed into Yang who was sent through a concrete pillar. Blake and Ruby charged forth to provide a distraction until Yang got back on her feet, but the sheer firepower this thing was packing was incredible. Seeing Yang slowly get to her feet, the mech slammed her against another pillar and watched as she dropped to the ground. With her slowly falling he sent another strike to her. Naruto, Slightly getting annoyed, grabbed the wrapping on his arm and undid the knot. Pulling the cloth off he flexed his arm and slammed it on the ground as a small tremor shook the ground before him.

Turning around the team couldn't belive that Naruto was going to use his demonic right arm for this fight. Must be because of seeing your friend smashed through a pillar that holds up bridges does that to you.

Charging full force at the mech, Naruto swung his claw. But he was a fair distance away from the thing. Weiss was about to shake it off that he was just trying to scare the mech, but what came next shocked her and the others to the core. A huge blue ethereal arm that easily matched the shape of Naruto's arm erupted forth. The only difference was that the arm that was generated was a full blue colour.

Yang saw this as an opening and used this to strike. But that was when the mech grabbed Yang and slammed her against yet another pillar and then plummeled her into the ground. Naruto's eyes were fixed on Yang. During the time he spent with his new team he began to like them. Even going so far as to start falling for them like he did with Blake when he was 14. And seeing his border line love interest on the floor and then slowly getting up just sent his rage into a new level. All he saw was red. Dropping to the floor he growled rather low and began to go into his ultimate level of power. The Beast Mode.

A sudden burst and wave of power shot through the area was enough to alert everyone as arcs of purple lightning sprayed off in every direction around Naruto.

Looking to find where this sudden increase in power came from, they turned to see Naruto just as his eyes turned pure black with his hair also turning black. Shooting up to his feet he let off an unholy roar as he fully transformed into his Beast Mode. Weiss, Neptune, Yang (who was slightly conscience) and Ruby were horrified at what they were seeing. Naruto had told them about this terrible and awesome transformation he could use, but they never imagined this extent of such power.

The scythe dropped from his back and landed on the ground with a thud as Naruto entered his Beast Mode. Slowly walking to the mech with him growling as he moved, he charged along with the mech doing the same. Both slammed into each other in the centre. Naruto's hands locked with the mech's weapons. Growling at the mech, he began to push back with all his might. Inside, Torchwick couldn't believe that the person who was the monster he fought at the docks was this guy. He wondered just how the beast got into Vale and now that he knew it was this man, he smiled. The fog slightly lifting on the mystery about this monster. Now it was just a matter of finding out who he really was.

Pushing the mech back Naruto began to gather up his power into his hands as lightning arced off his hands. A wave of power launched off his right hand with another from his left. Blake saw this coming and told everyone to drop to the ground. Thrusting his hands out, two beams of purple power shot from Naruto's hands and sped toward the mech. A nice big hole being made from the impact of such a strike. Ejecting out the mech just before it exploded Torchwick slowly got up with a woman holding an umbrella made her way to them.

"Such a nice warm up you gave me. But sorry. I must be going now. Cheers." he said with the lady giving a mocking bow.

Naruto surged forward, the intent to kill still burning through every fibre of his body, but when he made contact the only thing that happened was a glass figure of them shattering. Howling at the sheer frustration, Naruto turned to his team mates. But he showed much less hostility than what he showed to Torchwick.

Weiss along with Yang and Ruby made their way to the beast as Naruto stood there, slowlt breathing in and letting out a low soft growl as he exhaled. Lowering his arms to be by his sides while he still remained slightly hunched over, he did his best to not give off a hostile impression. The lightning shooting off his body, slowed down to only just have a few sparks go off here and there.

Once they were close enough to him, Weiss placed a hand on his grey cheek while Naruto leaned his head into the hand. Slowly turning back to normal with his regular standing up straight posture returning. His skin turning to be its normal colour of a slight pale white. Once he was back to normal he slightly stumbled back but was caught by Blake who shot towards him.

"Sorry you had to see that." said Naruto turning to Blake and thanking her.

"No, it's fine. It just goes to show just how far you're willing to go to protect us." said Yang along with the others agreeing with her.

"But what was that ability? You know, the one where you shot two purple beams out your hands." stated Weiss.

"Yes, that was a power I call Beast Strike. I can only use it along with a few others when I go into Beast Mode. By channeling my power into my hands, I can deliver a powerful distance attack on an enemy. But the more Aura I put into it, the stronger the recoil is. Meaning the wider the area of damage becomes." said Naruto with them understanding.

"Come on. Some people may have seen that attack. We need to get outta here." said Neptune with them agreeing.

With Cinder.

Cinder along with her team were sitting in a dorm room as she was seen with a cell phone in her hand and pressed to her ear. She had received a call from Torchwick regarding the monster that he faced for a second time. And that he even saw a wrapped up arm on the one who transformed. Not to mention, showing said covered arm to be nothing he had ever seen before.

"I see. Continue with your current assignment and do what needs to be done. Check in when you're done." she said hanging up the phone.

"Torchwick?" asked Mercury with Cinder nodding her head.

"Turns out the beast he fought at the docks that one night, attacked again. But this beast was in the form of a man before he transformed. Hm, wrapped up arm with the arm being nothing seen before." said Cinder.

"If I'm not mistaken, the student who we bumped into in the hall had a covered arm." said Emerald with Mercury agreeing with her.

"Yes. That does pose a reason to be concerned. We'll watch him for now. Hopefully, we can get him to join us." said Cinder.

"How come?" asked Mercury.

"The way he held himself. He desires to fight. It's like he's drawn to chaos. A hunger for blood. There's no mistaking it. He's a killer." replied Cinder giving a small chuckle at how this may play out.

And scene.

So with Naruto now showing Neptune and the other members of his Beast Mode and what his demonic right arm can do. he feels slightly ashamed to have shown this power, but thankfully they see him for who he is and not what he is. Soon this love interest relationship he has for them will blossom to a full on love.

Not to mention, Cinder has now caught on as to who the monster is that attacked Torchwick the other night. The one she bumped into in the hallway of the dorms.

And yes people, Naruto will sleep with them. But not just yet. I know some of you are begging for a lemon scene. Relax, that will happen later. Promise. And I, Blackspirit101 always keep a promise.
