"Another Grimm hunt in the wintery wilderness, great" Yang groaned
"At least this one isn't a Schnee mission" Ruby said
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Weiss asked
"Nothing, nothing at all Weiss" Ruby panicked as the trio walked out into the snowy landscape, Blake was still inside grabbing her winter gear
"Alright lover boy, the Schnee Mansion is in this direction" Blake said showing Naruto on his scroll "And this is the easiest way. Now I want this to be a stealth mission, to complete this objective, you must enter the mansion, find your objective and enjoy yourself without getting caught until at least you've made contact with Elsa" Blake said "any questions"
"Year why do people assume we're a couple?" Naruto asked pulling on his white and orange winter hoodie.
"You look cute together, anyway we'll be making our way their afterwards, because I think Weiss wants to talk to her father about something, so...meet you there" Blake smiled walking out with Naruto
"Got ya Black Cat" Naruto said running off
"Be careful Little fox" Blake shouted before going over to her team
"So think he's going to confess?" Ruby asked
"I'm not sure" Blake giggled.
"Alright on the ground" a mercenary said as he pushed the Schnee Matriarch Anna Schnee down
"You won't get away with this you scum" the patriarch Geist Schnee yelled
"Oh you see we will, and you're going to let us walk out that front door" the mercenary said tying them back to back
"Why would we?" Anna shouted
"Because, if you don't I'm going to find your little angel and well let's just say, she'll be going to pieces" the mercenary chuckled darkly
"What do you want?" Geist asked surrendering
"Just access to your private bank account, and personal dust vault" The merc said
"So you're with the White Fang" Geist said
"Oh please, I'm way higher in the hierarchy then those mongrels, yes that's right my organization has included the White Fang as low level enforcers" the merc said
"So what do we call you?" Geist asked.
"You can call me, huh never did have to come up with a name for myself, it was always scumbag, shit head, prick. But well you can call me Phantom" Phantom said
"So who do you work for?" Geist asked.
"A shadow" Phantom said knocking over a vase smiling
"Geist, just do it" Anna said
"No I will not!" Geist shouted
"Okay bring out the girl and knives" Phantom chuckled
"NO! NO PLEASE SHE'S INNOCENT!" Anna cried
"Not really" Phantom said plopping down in an armchair "This is comfy"
"Come on, come on!" Elsa begged freezing the door to the frame to make sure its secured before running to the middle of the room, her eyes never leaving the door. When she felt a hand on her shoulder, she quickly turned around to see Naruto behind her looking concerned
"Hey Elsa" Naruto said before being gripped in an Ursa hug
"Naruto" Elsa whimpered
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked
"NO I'm not someone has attacked us! And are holding mum and dad hostage" she whimpered as Naruto looked sternly
"Come on!" Naruto said clasping Elsa's wrist
"Where are we going?" Elsa said tearing up
"Out" Naruto said lifting his friend into a bridal carry "You may want to hold your skirt"
"Huh?" Elsa asked as Naruto started to run to an open window
"NARUUUTOOOOOO!" Elsa screamed as the door busted open
"This way" Naruto said leading her to the back garden
"Boss she got away" Phantom's radio crackled.
"Really, and how did she do that?" Phantom asked pausing 'Chakra?'
"Out the window boss, but it looked like" the goon said
"She had help, a very particular type of help, one that comes from the ninja territories" Phantom chuckled.
"Ninjas?" Geist asked 'but the only ninja who know about this place are dead'
"Come on!" a mercenary shouted running past the bushes Naruto and Elsa were hiding, Elsa was scared out of her mind, but Naruto was somehow calm and collected then someone his age should be
'Naruto you have to keep calm; if you need any assistance just mentally yell and one of us will be there to help you' the voice of his mother's chakra construct said
"Thanks mum" Naruto mentally said before looking at Elsa who was scared out of his mind "Elsa listen to me, we will get out of this" Naruto said smiling before he pecked her cheek to make sure she had hope.
"Naruto, if...if we survive this I want to give you something special" Elsa blushed
"Okay" Naruto smiled holding her hand
'Well, well, well like your father said I approve of her, but just take it slow, especially if she planning on giving you what I think it is' Kushina said
'Um...okay, what is it you think she wants to give to me?' Naruto asked as he snuck about with her hand in hand under the flowers bushes.
"Did you find anything ninja like?" Phantom asked getting irritated
'None sir' a merc said over the radio
"Brilliant, hurry up and find whatever is giving off that energy!" Phantom bellowed slamming the radio down "Okay, where is the ninja you've hired to rescue your daughter?"
"We didn't hire anyone!" Anna shouted
"Easy, Anna" Geist said maintain an attitude of one in control
"Well Mrs Schnee, if you didn't hire him; who did?" Phantom asked sitting down and smirked "Because I will find him and then boom" he smirked shifted into a psychopath's smile.
"Like you could handle a ninja" Geist said calmly
"Who said I couldn't?" Phantom asked walking around to Anna and striking her with his handgun, leaving a cut on her face
"ANNA!" Geist roared in anger "Once I'm out of here I'm going to gut you like the coward you are!"
"Mr Schnee, I do apologise for damaging your beautiful wife, but that is the penalty for not giving me what I want, and what I want at this particular moment is your daughter and the ninja she's with" Phantom said cheerfully
"Get stuffed you piece of rat shit" Anna murmured
"Anna, don't speak" Geist whispered holding her hands with his own
"So tell me something, you have two daughters, but my men could only find evidence of one, where's the other one?" Phantom asked "Hm?"
"Not here" Geist said
"Well no SHIT!" Phantom said shooting at Geist's shoulder
"Now I ask again, where is she?" Phantom said shoving the gun's barrel into the GSW
"Beacon Academy, but when I give her a call, she'll be gunning for you" Geist growled.
"No she won't" Phantom smiled resuming his armchair lazing "Seriously where did you get this chair?"
Elsa and Naruto were sneaking their way through to the orchard
"If we can just get there we'll be able to run out into the forest and find my sister" Naruto said
"I hope Weiss is also there" Elsa said
"Hey, she's there" Naruto said realising something, creeping out of the bush he saw that he lost them "That's weird" suddenly he heard something behind hium
"Let me go!" Elsa screamed as one of the mercenaries had grabbed Elsa and was now trying to restrain her
"ELSA!" Naruto shouted ducking back under the bush 'DAD! I kind of need help here'
'Alright, quickly use the transformation jutsu, that way the strain on you will be lessened than what you did the first time I helped out' Minato said
"Thanks dad, now then Transformation Jutsu!"
A massive smoke cloud spread out around the small area where Naruto was now stood an older version of the young blonde. He wore a ninja uniform with a white cloak like jacket with flames edging along the bottom. Everyone gathered there just stopped
"Drop the girl" Minato said
"Is he a ninja?" Merc one asked
"I think s" merc two said before being slugged by the forth hokage who then teleported behind the first merc and knocked him out with a neck chop, grabbing Elsa in the process
"Are you okay?" Minato asked
"I am, um"
"I'm an echo of your friend's father" Minato said
"An echo?" Elsa asked
"It's complicated, but for now we should get out of here" Minato said clasping Elsa's hand "And by the way, I'm still Naruto, in a way"
Yang stood up in a tree looking around at the snowy environment. To a city girl like her who never left Vale or the village of Konoha, the white frozen snow was a beautiful mystery that she didn't want to solve for fear that it would lose some of its magic. The only reason she hating coming up to the snow areas was that she always had to do Grimm hunts, whether asked by the Schnee who lived up here or by Ozpin who wants to make sure that the little villages don't get overrun.
"Oh man I think snow got in my boots, not to mention its freezing cold" Weiss whined.
And the fact that Weiss was whining about not wearing proper winter attire, Yang just paid her no mind as Blake talked with her about proper attire. Yang was nice and warm in her winter jacket which was like her normal one, only it had long sleeves and a fleece lining. To make sure her legs don't get cold she wore a pair of black combat trousers over a pair of thermal stockings. She also had her semblance to warm her.
"I have to agree with Blake Weiss, why didn't you wear winter gear like last time?" Ruby asked
"Because I left it at home to get washed" Weiss exclaimed
"Well then let's go get it, Yang is the coast clear?" Blake shouted up to the blonde.
"I'll check" Yang said pulling out her Dust Rifle Sun Shooter and equipped its scope.
"Okay looks clear to the left" Yang said slowly panning to the right, "looks clear right" panning back to the left something caught her eyes. The sight before her shocked her, causing her to scramble down the tree
"Yang what is it?" Blake shouted up to her as she landed on the snowy floor
"I just saw something I never thought I would see again" Yang said in shock
"What is it?" Ruby asked.
"Guys, I saw...my father fighting over at the Schnee estate" Yang said looking confused
"But isn't he?" Blake asked not finishing
"Yes, which is why it's confusing how could my late father be fighting mercenaries over at the Schnee estate?" Yang said
"I don't know but it is at the Schnee estate we better check it out" Ruby said.
Minato and Elsa were doing their best to fight off the mercenaries when Minato changed back into Naruto
"Crap!" Naruto shouted as he was ambushed by the mercenaries
"Get off of me" he shouted as he punched a goon in the lower regions forcing him to drop Naruto
"Elsa run!" Naruto said as he tried to hold the mercenaries off, only to get grabbed by them as they picked up Elsa as well
"HEY!" Yang roared entering the estate, opening fire with her rifle.
"Drop it girlie; or we drop them!" a merc said as guns were held up to the children
"Fine" Yang said backing off "But you won't get away with this" she growled as the mercenaries left with Naruto and Elsa.
"SHIT!" Yang shouted kicking the snow "I'll get the others and storm the estate"
"Pink carnations and a pickup truck." Phantom sang "I've forgotten the rest" a smirk developing as he watched the head of the Schnee family squirm "Now that my friends have what I want, and have knowledge that your daughter is in the forest I just have to wait until I have all I want" Phantom smiled as Anna broke down in tears
"Let go of me you DICK!" Naruto shouted as the two were brought in
"What is this, where's the ninja?" Phantom asked as the merc pointed to Naruto
"Kind a small isn't he?" Phantom asked
"Kiss my arse" Naruto swore
"And a little foul mouthed as well, now I want the girl over by the fire" Phantom instructed "And now the fun can begin. Once again give me what I want and your daughter with still have a hand" Phantom chuckled as Elsa was pushed over to the fire with her hand over it "And I'll count to fiv" Phantom started before Naruto kicked him in the shins
"Little pest" Phantom said as the door was kicked in "Now what" he yelled as Yang rushed in with her rifle drawn and loaded
"Let. them. Go!" Yang said
"How. about. NO!" Phantom laughed. Soon RWB raced in
"Mum, Dad, ELSA!" Weiss screamed as she saw her family, her mother was bleeding, her father was shot and her sister's hand was about to be burnt
"Don't worry they'll be let go once I get my money, so tell who is going to buckle first?" Phantom asked smirking evily.
