Story Start!
"That's... a really hard to believe story..."
The story that Naruto had told him when he woke up was hard to believe, but as hard as it was to believe there were several things that did make the story seem more truthful. The scythe that Naruto now owned was one thing that made his story much easier to believe, even if the story itself was naturally hard to believe. The fact that Naruto had never been told the legends of the gods of light and darkness, and the fact that Naruto had mentioned the existance of both the Maidens and the Relics, something that Qrow knew for a FACT that nobody had ever told him about.
Also, he knew Naruto.
He knew the signs to look for when Naruto was telling a lie, and Naruto wasn't telling a lie. He was leaving out some information of course, but he was not telling a lie. He was annoyed that Naruto was hiding something from him, and he wanted to know what it was, but Naruto seemed uncomfortable even telling him about the dream.
"How much more-" Naruto was silenced when Qrow raised a hand.
"I do believe you though, you told me some things you shouldn't know... that needs to remain a secret. I'm going to have to talk with Oz about this... this is a strange development." Qrow reasoned with a deep frown across his lips. The development that the Silver-Eyed warriors literally existed to destroy the existance of the Grimm, and the very Relics that they had been protecting for so long was very hard to believe. It also went against almost everything that they were trying to do.
He needed to talk with Ozpin about this, and he needed to get Ozpin to talk with Naruto about this to see what they were going to do.
This Mother Holle was suspicious, but at the same time her gifting something to Naruto put her in his own personal good books. The real care she seemed to show for Naruto touched him, and the fact she was warning him about threats that would come for him was very serious.
"Strange?" Naruto asked, and Qrow nodded.
"We've been protecting the Relics for a long time. This Mother Holle is suggesting that we destroy them. That goes against so many years of what we have been fighting for. I'm going to call Ozpin and the Fall Maiden, you need to tell this to both of them." Qrow explained, because he was going to be taking this seriously. If the Relics needed to be destroyed to keep them out of her hands, then Qrow would need to put a lot of the needed effort to make sure that the Relics were destroyed.
Of course, he trusted Ozpin more than he did this Mother Holle, so he wanted Ozpin's opinion on this first before he made any rash choices. As much as he trusted Naruto, he trusted Ozpin's decisions on such matters more.
"... The Fall Maiden, why her?" Naruto asked with a tilted head, and Qrow nodded.
Good question.
"The Relics are all placed inside of chambers, and the only way to get to the Relics are with the help of the Maidens. 1 Maiden per Relic. The Relic at Beacon needs the Fall Maiden to get to." Naruto knew enough, that Qrow felt the need to fill him in the rest of the way. Naruto had too much knowledge to be allowed to remain ignorant of what was going on. On this, Qrow didn't need to talk with anyone to be sure he was making the right choice.
Naruto furrowed his brow.
"Wait, it's at Beacon Academy?" Naruto questioned, since that seemed odd to him.
"The 4 Huntsmen Training schools were built not just to unify the world against the grimm, but also to protect the relics by surrounding them by warriors. The Headmasters are each in charge of guarding a Relic. Okay, I think you should start getting ready, you have a fight to get ready for... do you even know how to use that scythe?" Qrow curiously questioned Naruto as he stared at the rather beautiful scythe in Naruto's hands. It didn't look like it had any type of transformation, since it was just wood and metal, it had no long distance or transforming ability. It was just a pure scythe in it's more dangerous form, as a weapon of death... but it didn't give off a dangerous aura like a normal scythe would.
Naruto nodded his head.
Ever since Qrow had started to train Ruby, he had been watching them train and trained himself in how to use a scythe. It was the one weapon that he knew that he would be able to use with some skill.
"Yeah... I did get to the finals... Didn't think I would get that far, did you?" Naruto asked Qrow as he grabbed his disguise and got ready to go towards the showers.
He needed to dye his hair and put his disguise on.
Qrow smirked.
"Your next opponent is going to be a real challenge. Pyrrha Nikos isn't a pushover who will fall for the same tricks are the others. She's better than even some experienced huntsmen, of course, she's not on my level-" Qrow could not resist the urge to toot his own horn, brag about his own battle powers. He got serious though moments later, since this was a serious matter for Naruto. "-she's very good. Nobodies been able to so much as touch her in battle in any tournament she has been in before now, and nobody knows what her Semblence is." Qrow's words weren't meant in anyway to put Naruto down, or make him feel nervous about this fight he was getting into.
Naruto frowned for a moment.
Pyrrha Nikos... that name was familiar to him, like he had met somebody with that name very recently, but he didn't remember where he had met her.
"... She sounds powerful." Naruto admitted, and Qrow nodded his head.
She is.
"Don't underestimate her, and even though people don't know her Semblence, I have no doubt that she has one, and she uses it... very carefully. She's smart... but you are a clever fox." Qrow reached out and ruffled the top of Naruto's head. He gave Naruto his words of encouragement, since one of Naruto's best traits was how clever he was. Naruto wasn't the smartest around, but when it comes to how clever he was, Qrow had no doubts that if anyone could figure out the Untouchable Girl's Semblence, it would be him.
Naruto gave a wide grin.
-Later That Day (With Winter and Weiss)-
"Man, this is a good spa... How did you find this place Weiss?" Winter asked as she had, ironic, a faunus worker working on her back. She was butt naked at the moment, laying on her stomach with a towel over her butt. She sighed as the faunus work pushed her hands against her back, and Winter could feel the suction cups that were attached to the hands of the faunus pushing into her body and sticking to her, before popping off.
Again, in the military, there really were a few, not many but a few, faunus officers that Winter did work with. She didn't really discriminate anymore than the average person might, and by average person she meant somebody without a bias against faunus.
"I wanted to come here with you for awhile now." Weiss spoke with a small blush on her cheeks, constantly looking between her sister, and the man who was currently massaging her. Weiss, like Winter, was naked with only a towel drapped over her backside to hide her shame. Her breasts were covered by the fact that she was on her stomach, and the towel that would go over her breasts when she turned over was nearby.
While Winter had a female Octopus Faunus working over her body, something that did make Weiss a little uncomfortable, Weiss on the other hand had a man that was kneading his hands into her flesh.
The man was professional, and had obviously done this many times before, so Weiss was starting to get over her blush little by little.
"Do you mind switching the channel over to Mistral's tournament?" Winter asked, since they were in for a 2 hour massage, it could get pretty boring. Not to mention she didn't want to miss the final round of the tournament, which she was happy that Summer Branwen (Naruto) made it to. The woman working on her nodded her hand and grabbed the remote, before she flipped it to the correct channel.
"Damnit."
The remote control got stuck to the woman's hand, but she quickly got it off of her, and got back to working on Weiss.
"Why did you want the Suction Massage?" Weiss asked when she looked over at the suction cups on the woman's hands. She saw suction cups going from her hands, all the way up the undersides of her arms up to her armpits. She had her sleeves cut off, no doubt the fabric felt uncomfortable against her cups. "Gah!?" Weiss's body jerked when she felt a small shock go through her body.
The man's hands on her lower back sparked.
"The same reason you decided to go with the Electric Massage, it sounded interesting. If you want to trade, I don't mind. Her technique is wonderful." Winter relaxed into the woman's hands. She looked up at the television screen, since they were currently replaying the highlights of all of the previous fights.
Before the final round, they always showed off the best moments of the previous fights that the two finalists had experienced.
Though, Winter and Weiss both shared a small laugh at how it would seem all of Naruto's fights ended up with him freezing his opponent and beating them before the head with their own weapons.
"Thank you Miss Schnee."
"I'm good... I kind of like this massage." Weiss would admit that the shocks were painful, they were just shocking when they happened. Her body would tense up against her will, before it would relax to the point that the spots shocked would be more relaxed than before they were shocked.
It did get a little painful when a tense area was targetted though.
"Thank you Miss Schnee."
"Was that to me, or my sister?" Weiss asked the massage artist, glancing up at him, since both she and her sister were "Miss Schnee".
"You."
"So who do you believe is going to win?" Winter asked Weiss as the screen started to go through Pyrrha's highlights. Winter didn't watch a lot of Pyrrha's fights, but she had seen them before. She knew that Pyrrha was a powerful woman, somebody who could quite possibly give even herself a challenge. Winter could tell that in a direct fight, it was even possible that Pyrrha was somebody that could give her a run for her money.
Weiss hummed in thought.
She didn't know for sure.
"I think Pyrrha is going to win, but she's never fought somebody who fights like Naruto. She's best at close combat, while Naruto is good at keeping people away from him. I think Naruto will be able to push her more than her other opponents." Weiss tried her hardest to analyze both fighters, but Naruto's fighting style was... freezing people and beating them while they couldn't fight back.
She didn't have a lot to go on, other than a few fights that all ended the same way.
She had seen Pyrrha dominating her fights though.
"... I think Naruto is going to take it. Like you said, Pyrrha seems better at close combat. That is why she keeps a shield on her. Naruto attacks from a distance, her only visible form of range is her weapon's rifle form." Winter wasn't saying Pyrrha was weaker or stronger, but she could see how this match up could go either way. If Pyrrha could get into close combat, then she would have the advantage, but until she actually managed to get into close combat, then she was at a pretty heavy disadvantage.
Naruto was also a lot smaller than Pyrrha, so even if she got in close, if she hit Naruto too hard she would send him flying. Then she would put herself at a disadvantage, so she couldn't attack him with too much force, or she would put herself in a bad position.
Weiss hummed in thought.
So they had different points of view.
They would see when the fight was over.
-With Raven-
"... I think that Pyrrha chick is going to win."
"Nah, totally going to be that Ice Queen girl... the Summer girl."
Raven ignored all of the voices around her as she watched the television, going over the information that her spies had gotten for her as she watched. She was planning the invasion of a village, but she wasn't going to miss such an important fight for Naruto either. She looked at the highlights of his fights when they played with pride, but she wasn't foolish either. She knew he was wildly inexperienced in actual combat, so he was at a heavy disadvantage thanks to his lack of training.
Pyrrha seemed to have the advantage, but she was also had severa disadvantages, just like Naruto was.
'Naruto has been secretely training for so long... I wonder how well he will do with an enemy that won't be so easily frozen.' Raven thought to herself, wanting to see just how far Naruto had come since he started. This tournament might have been the first time that he was being put in real fights, but that was not to say he was aun untrained man.
He had trained himself, he just didn't have the same formal training and experience that Pyrrha clearly had.
"Dude, I bet Pyrrha will win."
"What are you going to bet?"
'This is dumb.' Raven stopped looking over her papers, and she took her sword out, and she began to clean the blade that she most often used. She took a rag and ran it across the used edge, she did have some animal blood on her sword that needed to be cleaned off. She raised an eyebrow when she saw the screen change to show Naruto and Pyrrha standing in the same arena.
Raven sat up when she saw Naruto holding a weapon, interest in her eyes.
This was new.
So Naruto now had a weapon of his own, that was both new and something that she found interesting. He was changing his fighting style at the final round of the tournament, which could lead to Pyrrha being unsure of how he was going to fight.
She was curious about the outcome now.
-With Naruto and Pyrrha-
"You brought a weapon to our fight, thank you for taking me so seriously. I hope that you and I can have a fun battle." Pyrrha spoke as she smiled down at her opponent. She had found all of Summer's fights to be absolutely hilarious, the way she beat her opponents was amazing to her.
She was looking forward to seeing how 'she' actually fought with a weapon.
Naruto smiled at Pyrrha and took out a Dust-Stick, placing it at the edge of his mouth as he prepared for their fight. Naruto lowered himself into a battle stance, and Pyrrha followed up by spreading her legs and raising her shield up, making her stance firmer.
"Me too... you were somebody I was hoping to fight." Naruto admitted, since she was favored to win, he wanted to fight her.
What Qrow said both made him nervous, and it excited him further.
"No matter the outcome, I hope that there are no hard feelings after all is said and done. I wouldn't mind making a friend out of you." Pyrrha added, and the coutdown to the start of the fight began.
Naruto nodded his head.
Sounded good.
"I'm fine with that." Naruto gripped his weapon firmly.
"FIGHT!"
