Alright now due to a few messages I got since the last chapter there has been an update for the name f Naruto's gauntlets. Following the advise to use something from his past I decided to use the Japanese for Demon Akuma as the name. Before posting this chapter I have updated it into the last chapter. But anyway let's get going with this chapter. Enjoy!

A second later the outline of a sword became clear and Summer and Tai were amazed to how it looked. "The only real disadvantage I have over this is that using this from empties my dust cartridge."

"Worth it for the pay off I guess." Tai stated.

"Would All first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."

"Show time!"


Naruto: Memoirs of a Former Shinobi: Chapter 8: The Emerald Forest Part 1

Standing on the cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest Tai's excitement continue'd to grow. He turned to look at Summer and he could see she was feeling the same way he was. Each student waited on top on a panel each as Professor Ozpin walked in front of them.

Professor Ozpin could see that there was a mixture of emotions showing on would be student's faces. Before he began speaking he took a quick sip from his coffee mug.

"Today marks your first step to becoming Huntsmen and Huntresses. You will each be launched into the Emerald Forest. Inside the forest there is an abandoned temple. There you will find some artifacts. Retrieve one and return to the top of this cliff." Professor Ozpin paused to take a sip of his coffee before continuing.

"There will be many dangers within the forest and you will be monitored and evaluated during your time in the forest. And for your safety the instructors have been advised that if your life is in danger they are in jump in and assist. However a word of warning. In the case of an instructors intervening on your behalf you will have failed the exam."

All of the students looked nervous upon hearing Opzin's speech. "Sir doesn't that seem a bit harsh?" a random male voice asked.

"I suppose You could say that but if your aim to become Huntresses and Huntsmen how can I grant you the role of protecting other when you could not protect your own self." Ozpin calmly answered. Tai thought deeply about what Ozpin was saying.

'He's not wrong. I suppose this Forest must be like Training Ground 44 during the Chunin Exams in Konoha. So I shouldn't take this exam lightly then.' Tai thought to himself.

"Sir, what about team members? I've been told that first year students are normally paired into teams during this exam." A random female voice spoke out to Professor Ozpin.

"Yes of course teammates. Simply put who ever you first make eye contact with will be your partner for the next 4 years."

'Wait! That means someone else could be Summer's/Naruto's partner.' Tai and Summer both thought in a moment of panic.

"Good luck." Ozpin raised his mug and his soon to be student were launched upwards and into the Emerald Forest below.


(Tai)

Once Tai had landed he looked around and seen that there was no one nearby. 'Safe for the moment. I'll have to find Summer ASAP. The longer I wait the more than likely she'll run into someone else.' Tai though to himself.

From the bushes behind him however he could hear them rustling. He turned to find a Boarbatusk charging at him. Rolling out of the way Tai used Akuma's second gear extending it's twin claws.

Using it's dust feature the blades on the claws were infused with light blue dust. The Boarbatusk charged once more at Tai using it's spinning attack. Once more Tai stepped out of the way but he attacked directly into the center of the Boarbatusk's attacked hoping to strike at it's underbelly.

It appeared to have worked as the Grimm's underbelly became frozen as the Boarbatusk ell over to it's side. Tai the stomped on it's head and swiftly stabbed the Boarbatusk's eye killing it.

As the Grimm faded into nothing Tai clicked his teeth in annoyance before running off into the Emerald Forest. "Shit! I might have wasted too much time."


(Summer)

Moving at high speed was normally a breeze for Summer but with the thought of Tai potentially not being her partner her mind was in different places. She barely managed to avoid hitting the ground full force as her mind snapped back just in time after clashing against some tree branches.

"That was close." Summer sighed before she looked around her. She then picked a general direction and ran straight and true hoping Tai was in that direction.

"Gotta find Tai, Gotta find Tai, Gotta find Tai, Gotta find Tai, Gotta find Tai." Summer quietly kept saying over and over to herself as she dashed through the forest.

However someone ran into the side of Summer causing them both to fall to the ground.

"Ow, ow, ow. Sorry I didn't mean it run into you. You Okay?" Summer asked as the person who she had run into to was getting back to their feet. "Oh it's you."


(Carolina)

Having safely landed to the ground Carolina believed she was in good luck as she landed right beside another student. "Hello there." Carolina extended her hand out in friendship.

Her hand was quickly accpeted and violently shaken up and down by her partner.

"Ahh it appears that you're going to be my partner yes good. The names Bartholomew Oobleck first name Bartholomew last name Oobleck but I'd prefer if you'd call me Bart. It's a pleasure to meet you Miss..." Bart's hand shaking paused as he realized he didn't know his partner's name yet.

"Ohh. Sorry, I'm Carolina Church." Carolina nervously smiled as she responded.

"Pleasure to meet you Carolina! Now I suggest we move onward because I do believe there is a pack of Beowolves behind us." The end of Bart's sentence somewhat confused Carolina.

"Sorry?"

"I said there is a pack of Beowolves behind us that seem to be running in this direction." Bart continue'd to stand still as he looked behind Carolina's shoulder.

Thinking Bart was joking Carolina looked over her shoulder to see a large hoard of Beowolves. Too large for two mere first year students to handle. She gabbed hold of Bart's arm as the two students tired to run away from the Grimm.

"This is definitely exciting wouldn't you agree?!"

"We're currently running for our lives what is wrong with you!?"

"Sorry... I have a caffeine problem."


(Tai)

Tai continue'd to run throughout the forest hoping that he would run into Summer. Instead however he ran into a pack of Beowolves. "Oh this is not my day."

Converting to Akuma's first gear Tai punched his way through the pack like a hot knife through butter. 'This is starting to get more annoying.' Tai thought to himself as the Grimm continue'd to swarm around him.


(Summer)

"So you were looking for your sister then. Sorry about that." Summer apologized.

"Don't sweat over it. It's done now I just feel sorry for whoever she partners up with." Qrow replied.

"What makes you say that?" Summer asked as she looked at Qrow with confusion.


(Tai)

"Fuck it." Tai sighed in annoyance as he activated his semblance. With most of his body shrouded in flames the power behind his punches increased as the last few Beowolves remained.

Knowing there was only half a dozen in the open Tai turned his semblance off. He could see the five beowolves in front of him and knew there was another behind him. Playing coy he waited for the Grimm to attack but it never did.

When he looked behind him he seen the Grimm was already sliced in half. 'How did that happen?' Tai knew something was up. Using Akuma's third gear he created six fire dust kunai and threw five of them at the remaining Grimm.

Each kunai hit it's mark and turned the remaining grim to dust. Once the Grimm were gone he spoke out. "I know someone is here so come out now."

There was no response. "Fine then." Tai was about to walk away when he seen a black hair girl walk out in front of him.

"I suppose we're partners then." Raven spoke out to Tai.

"Oh great..." Tai sighed once more in annoyance. "I miss my chance to be Summer's partner and get Miss Personality instead."


(Summer)

"Best way to describe my sister is that she's not the easiest person to get along with."

"Oh.." Summer softly stated as she understood what Qrow meant. "I'm sure everything will be fine." Summer tried to reassure her partner.

"Yeah I hope so."


(Tai)

"What is that supposed to mean?" Raven growled in anger demanding an answer.

"Well you didn't exactly give a great first impression yesterday." Tai dryly responded.

"You do know I killed that Beowolf before it attacked your blindside! You should be thanking me for that!" Raven shouted out at Tai in anger.

"I knew that Grimm was there. I counted how many I first ran into." Tai then threw a kunai right past Raven's head. "Just like I knew about the Alpha standing behind you."

A shocked Raven then turned around to see the crumbling remains of an Alpha Beowolf fade away. "So if you want to think you helped me then fine. Consider us even now. So how about a truce. Start off on a better footing than yesterday?" Tai offered his hand out toward Raven.

Raven thought about it for a moment before accepting Tai offer. "Fine then."

"Alright then. Let's get going. The sooner we can get out of this forest the better." Tai stated as they both continue'd on their way through the Emerald Forest.

'He's stronger than I thought he was... I suppose Beacon will be somewhat beneficial.' Raven thought to herself as she followed Tai.


And Cut!

So that's Tai/Naruto's and Summer's partners sorted. I wonder which team they'll be on... Just joking. Gonna be another one possibly two chapters just finishing off the team set up but i am starting to plan out a short story arc for Team STRQ's first year in Beacon.

So anyway let's get started in this chapter's Q&A!

1) Will Jaune Arc's father show up? Sorry but no. However for a reason why (unless cannon changes this answer) Jaune's father attended Haven Academy.

2) Is Leonard going to be in as well? Leonard is Carolina's father so he could appear not going to say no yet.

3) It possible that Ashura is still live with Naruto? It is still possible after all Naruto is the incarnation of Ashura but he won't be gaining any of his powers.

4) Is Raven going to be Yang's mother? Okay one last time. Yes.

So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
