Disclaimer I don't own Naruto and RWBY
SSGN 14
After a boring week in school, and got nothing else to do, Teams SSGN, and HRNS decided to go back into Vale, and purchase some new stuff to make them feel like they were home, along with adapting to the stuff they have to offer here.
"Alright guys here's the plan, we'll go to DLC for a few hours, and kick back a little, then we'll eat at" "Naruto calm down, besides who put you the leader to this day" stated Shikamaru, "We got top priorities that can't wait tomorrow. Now as WE agreed, we're going to purchase some home, and electrical appliances followed by us going to lunch at a place we can all agree to" listed Neji, while joining in the snubbing of their blonde friend.
In Beacon
After some convincing with Sasuke, Naruto was able to make a copy of the key for their training room, and give it to teams RWBY, and JNPR, who are right now practicing formation strategy, and naming it. "Pyrrha, ready" asked Ruby, "Ready" answered the long red head.
In an instant Pyrrha threw her weapon in javelin mode at a dummy, but at the same time Ruby was running at the same speed at thrown projectile. Once the javelin hit its target, there were 3 quick slashes, and the dummy was now in pieces, along with Ruby naming their formation, "Red Habanera".
"Aw, I think it's so cute you would name something that powerful after Naruto's mom, just to get his attention" cooed Yang from the sides, "Hmpf, I wouldn't do anything to get that jerks attention" pouted Ruby, "Then why is it called the Red Habanera?", "Because she had red hair like me, and Pyrrha, and was known as a powerful women of destruction. In fact I'm renaming it to the crimson demon" "No way" everyone on the side lines said in unison.
"Hey I didn't ask for guys' opinion" whined Ruby, "You don't need to" everyone said again in perfect unison, "Besides that doesn't suit a cutie like you" teased Yang, "Whatever, we can name it later on, right now we gotta practice so more", like I want to do anything for that jerk.
At a random Bar
It had been a week, and Kimimaro hasn't found a trace of his teammates anywhere, since his arrival at Remnant, and decided to rest up at the nearest bar, and try to get some more info. Once he entered and ordered a drink, 2 men approached him, and asked him to step outside.
"What business do you both have with me" asked Kimimaro, "We're the police, and you're under arrest" said one of the officers, "May I ask why" "You're in suspicion of being part of a gang of wanted criminals that are at large, now make this easy, and come along" ordered the second officer. Finally getting a more clear information as to what he wants to know, Kimimaro began to motion his hands upwards, before pointing all 10 fingers at the officers, and filling them with bones.
Only one of them died, while the other layed there limp holding his shoulder, and attempting to reach his gun, but was stop when he saw what was a sword made of bones being pointed directly at his face, "You're going to tell me what I want to know, and I'll might consider letting you live another day".
In Downtown Vale
Today Naruto can dub it boring for the most part, because all they did was purchase 2 couches, a 48' TV, a laptop, and a lamp. The only good thing that he said was fun buying were reusable chopsticks for everyone, and going in to buy everyone music of their choice, which he had to pay. Right now they're all talking about where to go for lunch, and he's being stubborn to eat at the noodle stand he went to last weekend.
"I still think we should go to that noodle stand I went to last weekend" complained Naruto, "I swear to god, you bitch about us going there one more time, I am going to make sure that your ass ends up in the hospital this time around" yelled Sasuke, "I can't believe they got no decent barbeque joints out here" grumbled Shikamaru, "What do you guys crave?" quipped Shino, "Personally I wouldn't mind having ribs, or a burger, but every burger place we passed is overcrowded" "Can I make a suggestion as to where we should eat" asked Lee, "Shoot", "Why not over there".
Everyone turned to see that Lee was pointing at a place called Club Vegan, and much to everyone's discus, Naruto saw it as the devils den, "So Naruto where did you say this noodle stand was" asked Shikamaru changing the subject, "What's wrong with Club Vegan, it'll be good for us in more than one way" complained Lee, "Out of everyone here, I wouldn't mind biting into a tomato, but we came here to eat something our own age. Be my guest, and drag Naruto along with you if you guys want rabbit food, but I'll be damned if we eat there, or let Naruto win" explained Sasuke, "Hinata, can you please use your Byakugan and search us a place that looks good enough to eat, and doesn't have a huge line" "On it" she replied.
In the instant she activated her Byakugan Hinata began searching far, and wide, and found a pizza joint, "Hey I see a place called Excalibur's Pizza, its open, but somewhat empty" she said, "Alright let's give it a shot, if it's a crap, then we can leave there" ordered Shikamaru, "Still say we should eat at the noodle joint" Naruto mumbled under his breath, only to get whacked across the head by Sasuke, "The hell was that for you bastard?" "Don't think I didn't hear what you said dumbass, as punishment you're paying" sneered the emo, "I was gonna pay for it anyways you cheapskate".
While the 2 rivals bicker, they saved themselves time, as they finally made it to the place, "Well here it is" Lee said stating the obvious. Upon entering they notice that the place had some pretty good lighting for being empty, it had booths along the wall, and tables down the row, and on the right side of the wall at the end, was both the salad bar, and soda machine.
"Welcome to Excalibur's Pizza, how may I help you" asked the one guy working there, "Hi me, and my friends would like two large pizzas one of cheese, and one of pepperoni, and 8 drinks" listed Naruto, "Would that be for here or to go?" "Here please" "All right that's gonna be 59 solid, I would like to warn you guys it's gonna take about 45 minutes to an hour due to us being short on staff, so if you would like to return between those time frames, your order should be ready".
The group were about to agree to those conditions, but on the corner of Naruto's eye, he saw the arcade room, "That's fine, but I think we'll chill here, and play over at the arcade you have" explained the blonde, "That's a first in a long time, not many kids play vintage games these days" explained the employer, "I don't know what that means, but it sounds like fun" "Vintage is another way to say old, but it's fancier" explained Shikamaru to which Naruto stuck his tongue out to.
Once they entered inside, anyone who hasn't been Naruto were amazed by the game machines they had compared to the ones they had at home. Out of all the games to play there were 4 machines to play, the first one being the largest seemed to be a side scroller shooter game, and being allowed 4 players at a time, called 'Steel Snail', the next one seemed to be a multi-game set between 2 games, and could hold up to 2 players, of soccer or a space shooter, the next game was also a 2 player, but was a fighter, the last one was a little off, do to it having 3 of the 4 player buttons, and joy stick being removed, but it still looked playable, and was called 'TORN'.
Deciding to ignore the last game all together, they went to play the other games that were avaliable, until they were notice that their pizza was ready. Upon taking the first bite everyone was in bliss, "It's the taste of the gods" said Lee, "It's the taste of victory" said Sasuke, "It's like Ichiraku had a twin brother, and made the same thing but with tomato sauce, bread, and cheese" praised Naruto, only to get back handed by Sasuke, "Hey what gives" "For mentioning ramen at a pizza joint ass" "Well at least I know that you kids got taste" said the owner, "Thanks mister... um" "Will Larson, or plain Will, wil do" he said with a smile.
"So Will what gives" asked Shikamaru, "What do you mean?" asked Will, "I can tell you're an honest, and hard working man, these pizza's are great, and you offer genuine service, and entertainment, but what I want to know is, what happen to everyone else"? Taken aback by a question that seemed to have majorly effect Will, he just sighed, and looked at the other direction.
"To be honest, not many people come here, because of modernization", "Care to explain" asked Neji, "Well you see when I first opened, I was the only pizza place in Vale for 35 years, at some point or another, cheap, barely edible franchised pizza's came in. It was so bad at first, until they started house call delivery, and I refuse to be apart of it, because that's not how you're suppose to eat pizza", "How does someone eat pizza then?" "You eat it surrounded by friends, and/or family, and have a great time, and actually talk, while enjoying great pizza, which was why I denied the idea of free delivery".
Out of everyone, Will's words has touched Naruto the most, because the only other people, who would say the same thing, and follow that same belief would be Teuchi, and Ayame back at home, speaking of Naruto, he was already done, and while everyone else continued to eat, he decided to make his way back to the arcade. Upon entering back, he decided to head, and try out TORN, and just as he was about to put change into the machine "Don't do that".
Turning his head around, Naruto saw Will with concern in his eyes, "What gives" asked Naruto, "Well I might as well come clean with you" began Will, "About 5 years ago, buisness was starting to get a little slow like I said, so I thought that maybe if added a new game to the arcade room, maybe I'll attract some new costomers. When I found TORN, I got it for free from a man called Flynn, who insisted that I allow my costomers try it out, so naturally I said yes, but little did I know that's when my problems would start. When I first released to the public, a young man came in who was a regular, and was a proud huntsmen in training, and I knew becuase he would ditch class at the local acdemy, and come here every other day, anyways I told him about the new game, and asked if he would like to try it" "So what happened".
"What happened next was I'd make his usual, and he would play in the arcade, followed by me telling him that his pizza was ready, but when I came he was gone, and the buttons, and joy stick to player one, so I assume he was arngry, and broke the game, and was to ashamed to ever bring his face back here again. About a few months later another would come, but a girl this time, and this time around I saw the cuase of it" "Wait what did ya see" "When I came by to tell her to be careful, in a flash she disappeared, along with the set for player 2" "And you still have that damn machine lying around so some moree people can disappear. Why the hell didn't return it, or do something to get those people out of their" "And you think I didn't thought of that".
Naruto sure as hell didn't know what to think, but now understands why the hell no one comes hear that often, and was ready to go back, and tell his friends that they're never coming back here, and report Will to the police, "I know what you're thinking, but don't tell your friends, or call the police" Will said solemnly, "And give me a good reason why I souldn't" challenge the blonde, "Because all those kids will die" "What!" "When I confronted Flynn for the second time to take back his machine, and free those kids, he said he couldn't do anything, and not to unplug the game otherwise those currently trap, will forever be erased from existence, and die. So in return for leaving me the machine to be plugged in, and leave it running, he would pay for the electric bill, and make sure there is never, to no power shortage here, hell I tried to go in, and personally save them myself, but the damn machin wouldn't let me, but that was the least of my problems" "How so"?
"The last one to be caught had a lot more people who cared for her, and when suspicion rose about her where abouts, people assume I did something, and people began tonot come here so much. about 2 years ago, another fellow arrived, and I was so overjoyed that I had a new client that I forgot to close the arcade room, so when he went to the back to play the game he also vanished in the game, and finally the rumors spread, and people stopped coming, and my employees began to quit left, and right, and only huntsmen who are from out of town, and only wanted to catch a quick bite, or people oblivious to the disappearance's ever come here now adays".
Naruto had understand now, and feels bad for the guy, who is cursed, and beckon with something he has no control of, and has to sleep with the guilt of it every night for the rest of his life, "I'll have you know that I'm a huntsmen Will, and I swear to you that one day, I'll go in there, and save those kids, even if it's on my last dying breath, and that's a promise so believe it" Naruto promised along with his signiture grin, "If you do this, I'll forever be in your debt, um" "Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki, future huntsmen, and your hero for the job".
Naruto had promised Will, and went back to join everyone, who were already finished eating, "Yo what took you so long" asked Sasuke, "Nothing, by the way let's find a place that sells video games" Naruto said to change to cover his story, "That's the last thing we need, something that's loud, annoying, time consuming, and takes up a lot of space, and we already got you for all of that" "What!? Gaara, quickly put sand in his pants" "Later on" he said. As they all motioned out the door, Will couldn't help but shed a tear, Naruto thank you for reassuring some hope in this old mans heart.
Elsewhere in Vale
Kimimaro had killed to police officers in cold blood, and was trying to find a way to hide his trail, Damn the last thing I need is attention when it isn't needed, out of his thoughts he spotted an abandon apartment, and took it as his base to hide. Upon entering he was met by 2 other men, who were homeless, and drunk, "ey hooza't" asked the first drunk, "ey buddy, git teh fak outta eer" shouted the second drunk. Unfortunately these mens deaths falled under the classic wrong place, wrong time, as they now lay limp, and smelled even worse, with holes in their chest.
At Beacon Academy
Naruto had purchased himself a game system, and some games, during which he was having a conversation as to talking about stuff they had missed back at home, and realized that they were suppose to celebrate the Tanabata Festival back at home, and Gaara propsed they celebrate it here, even if it's a small party between them as friends, to which everyone agreed, so he went off, and buyed supplies to prepare, before heading back to the academy. "So we're seriously gonna celebrate the Tanabata festival between the 8 of us" asked Shikamaru, "What's up your ass, I would normally see you, and Choji have a kickass time together" retorted Naruto, "True, but this is usually fun with the whole town" "Need I remind you that me, and Gaara never did get a chance to celbrate it properly, so this is kinda redemption to both of us" "I don't care what you two do, I'm gonna train" said Sasuke, "Hold up, I'm joining you".
With teams RWBY, and JNPR
They spent their whole day training, and it was well worth it, they all grew closer as friends, and stronger as a team, and decided it would be best to head out, and eat dinner with Ren a la pancakes, but what they didn't expect was when exiting the door, they were face to face with Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, and Lee.
Looking at the opportunity, Yang ushered everyone out, and pushed Naruto in, alone with Ruby, and lock them from the inside, "What the hell gives" snarled Sasuke, "Relax emo avanger, I'm only speeding up the process of Naruto, and my sis to get along on a better note" Yang explained, "Or more like get your sister to perform first degree murder" quipped Blake, "Oh come on, how bad can it be" "Ruby just pulled out a claymore, well the sword at least, and has Naruto cornered" Neji explian while in Byakugan mode, "Oh crap".
Not wanting to stick around for the ending Weiss had messaged Gaara to meet her out at front of the school, for their weekly night out. In the past few weeks, since their first night, it had became a ritual to both Weiss, and Blake to be with someone who understands where one another is coming from, and lately they've been agressive towards getting Gaara's attention, yet they don't know why. An example would be about 2 nights ago, where Weiss had decided to dress up as a french maid, and brought a tray of cookies for him, or the night before where Blake decided to wear skin tight leather clothes, and used her cat like instincts to move seductive like around him, along with acting like the cat she is. This had became a recent pattern for the past week, and each time the girls take their night, and dress, and act like so, they don't know why they got a type of jealousy, and heart ache for Gaara, when the other girl is with him that night, and couldn't do anything about it.
"Hey Gaara" called out Weiss, "Hey" he replied, "So how was your time in Vale" "It was nice. We got stuff for our rooms to make it more comfortable, and some lunch at a pizza place" "That sounds like fun, by the way, what's with the bag?", "Oh it's for a little party we're gonna throw" "What's the party for?"
Gaara began to explain that they're going to be celebrating a holiday back in their world called the Tanabata Festival, but since they couldn't turn it to a full on festival, a party has to do, and asked if she, and everyone they know want to take part of, but Weiss had a better idea. "Gaara, may I make a proposition" "I"m listening" "How abot tomorrow we both go, and tell Ozpin about this, and see if we can get the whole school involve" "Why?" "It's not often that you celebrate a holiday from a different part of the galaxie every day" True. Alright let's tell him tomorrow".
Back with Naruto, and Ruby
For the past 20 minutes, Ruby had been relentlessly been trying to find any means to kick Naruto's ass, while Naruto juked any to all painful blows, while at the same time trying to talk some sense into her. "Ruby what are you doing?" he asked while dodging an arrow, "Stop it Ruby!" while this time avoiding an on slaught of throwing knives, "I don't want to result in hurting you" "Then you should have thought about it, before you go, and violate me" she yelled tearfully, along with attempting to pelt him with copper pellets of a sub-machine BB gun.
While that was going on, Neji was explaining word by word of whats taking place, while Pyrrha had to keep the door down, "HOW MUCH LONGER ARE THEY GONNA KEEP SCREWING AROUND!" yelled Sasuke impatiently, "Calm down, it shouldn't be to long now" Yang said calmly, "I swear if I gotta wait for an hour, I'm challenging you next week in Combat Class".
Starting to get tired, Ruby ploped, and dropped the sword she was holding, "I hate you still, ya know" stated Ruby not even looking at Naruto, taking the opportunity at hand, Naruto went down to her eye level, and looked at her, "Come on I said I was sorry" he said, "And you said that if you were, then you wouldn't have pulled that on me" Ruby began bursting into tears now, crap, I really screwed things up this time.
"Ruby, I know there's nothing I can say or do to make it up, except offer you revenge on me, and I know now that I screwed up our bond, and trust, and I swear that if I gotta earn back your trust on my death bed, then so be it". Ruby had finally stopped crying, and looked at Naruto, who was sincerlly sorry, and realised now that she can't be mad at him forever, "Naruto", "Yeah?", "I forgive you" "Wait really?" "Yes really, but I'm gonna hold you to that revenge offer" "Alright fair enough". Having their problems fix, they both proceeded to embrace each other in a hug, and like on their date, their hearts began to skip a few beats, and turned a little red in the face, "Let's leave before Yang blackmails us to do another three way date", "Agreed".
OVA
When Weiss finally returned from her time with Gaara, she was surprise to see Blake up, and reading, and asked how'd it went between Naruto, and Ruby, to which she said it went a lot smoother than she thought. Finally had enough, both girls decided to call it a night, and unknown to them they'd be visit by someone important tonight.
In Blake's Dreams
Upon being in her dream, Blake realized that it was night time, and she was in the middle of a sand storm "What gives, what happened to my dreams of the White Fang finally crumbling, Weiss giving out a personal pardon, and compensation to the faunus, and all of us coexisting together" she asked out loud, "Aren't you forgetting one more thing in your dreams" said a women who was being formed by the sand, "Who are you?" "I asked first child" I don't think I am" "I'm surprise at both of you. Not only do you not see your actions in front of you, but also you haven't had dreams about my son, shame" "Your son? Wait, sand, son... that means" "Hi, I'm Gaara's mother".
Blake had seen a lot since the shinobi had arrived, but she would've never thought that she would end up meeting Gaara's mother, "Does Gaara know you can talk to us in via mind telepathy?" "Between us all the time, but with you is something he's unaware of" "But why?" "I'll get to the point, for a long time Gaara was robbed of love, robbed from me to give it to him, so when I noticed that you had started to get close to him, I decided to take it to a new level" "What do you mean?" "Gaara knows the love between friends, especially one such as Naruto, and who would've guess it would be someone just like him, when the chances they'd actually meet would be one out of over 9000. What he doesn't know is love between another person he can start a family with".
Hearing that about starting a family with Gaara put a tinge of pink on Blake, but quickly refrained from the thought, "I'm honored that you think of me-" "Glad that you understood, because as of officially now, you have my blessing to date my son" "Before you go, how did you managed to talk with me?" "Remember that little box made of sand I made for you, well it carries a piece of me, including my mind. Until then good luck, and take care of my son".
In the real World
Weiss, and Blake shot their eyes open, as to the experience they both had, and understood now, why each girl was competative for Gaara, and with the blessing from his mom, they promised to make Gaara their own.
So their you have it so far. I'm pretty sure by now alot of you guys were wondering about pairings, and who'd be shipped with whom. By now some of the relationships should be completely obvious to the point that it's sad that if no one began picking it up. I won't say whom is after who, and who got whom in the end, or who else will be shipped in the future, because knowing of future shippings is spoilers enough, and even more next time starts the Festival Arc, see ya'll next time
