First of all I want to apologize for not updating sooner, I got a lot to do at my job this past weeks and haven't have too much time, also it took me so long because I notice that I forget to keep writing for B, but when I return to correct this I realize that I would have to modify a lot of the previous chapters instead of jus inseting his comments, so I'm leaving the previous chapters as they are and pretend that he was just out doing something until now.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or RWBY, I am not the author of Naruto the Huntsmen, that is a fic white by fairy tail dragon slayer, who gave me permission to make this reading story.
It have only pass a few hours since team RUWBY have been assign a mission to investigate the sighting of Isobu and everyone was watching with a lot of curiosity how this encounter would end.
"Wow, for a person that has no trouble riding Ruby at 140 miles an hour, he really can't deal with sea sickness very well." Yang said as she and the rest of Team Ruby watched as Naruto hung off the side of the ship and started to puke his guts out. The boat they were on was a medium sized boat, small enough to go fast and get to the location in only a day travel, but big enough with a thick enough hull that it could take some serious damage before sinking. The boat was style after an older wooden ship, but with the inside of it being more modern and high tech. Apparently boats made of metal or any other hard substance were noticed by... Isobu, faster and taken down with less mercy.
"Shut... urp... up!" Naruto shouted, before he returned to puking out his breakfast he had before coming onto this stupid boat.
"That is strange, he never suffer from sea sickness, or motion sickness before." Said Jiraiya remembering all the time he and Naruto travel in boat or train during their trining trip.
"Even on our time on the island turtle, Naruto didn't have problems with the hurtle." Rap Killler B his opinion.
"I also don't recall him suffering from it, maybe it was something he ate?" said Tsunade with curiosity.
"But he hasn't ate anything out of the ordinary, or that was pass due." Say Hinata showing that she put a lot of attention to the details of Naruto's life.
"Looks like Mister 'Strongest on Team RUWBY' can't handle boat travel." Weiss said mockingly after a moment, while Naruto stood up straight and turned around slowly to look at Weiss with a deathly look in his eyes. She shivered, before she unknowingly to even herself, walked behind Ruby for some form of protection. There was no way he would hurt the girl he was in love with, but everyone could already see his skin starting to gain some color back to it.
"I don't have motion sickness, I ate Blake's tuna... as it would turn out, I can't stomach it well it seems." Naruto said after a moment, before Blake blinked and sent him a dirty look for that sentence. She had thought her tuna sandwich had been too small. She was still more than a little annoyed with Naruto being in love with somebody that wasn't her. Don't get her wrong, she would strive to get closer to him and change his mind while Ruby was playing it safe. Idiot move in her opinion, a girl plainly kissed Naruto before and he was still ignorant to that fact. If Ruby wanted any chance before Naruto was affected, then she should strike while the iron was hot.
"I agree with her, Naruto is too oblivious when it comes to love, so you need to be pushy with him or you won't get anywhere." Said Honey knowing this too well from past experiences.
"Are you sure this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you want to see him end with another faunus?" Tease her Anko, but it didn't have the effect she was expecting when Honey remain calm and answer.
"While I will prefer him end with Velvet, this doesn't have anything to do with race and is more a situation in which you have to fight for what you want, and only Blake and Velvet seem to take this course of action."
"But what about Yang? She flirts with dad all the time." Ask Vanilla.
"I think that he sees her more like a bro with whom he can talk about everything than an actual romantic partner." Said Jiraiya leaving out that they would probably end having sex as way to experiment and relieving their sexual energy, making the fuck buddies.
"While I can see that Naruto's love life is really interesting to you shouldn't we focus on his mission?" Said Itachi receiving glares from several people who make him regret talking.
"You haven't been able to stomach any meat the last few days actually." Ruby brought up in concern, while Naruto shrugged. He was both Rabbit and Fox, so maybe his diet was switching between the two at the moment. Normally he hated vegetables, but lately they were the only things he could stomach.
"Wait! Is that even possible?" Ask Kushina while looking at Honey and Vanilla.
"While Faunus of different type have kids this kids usually just get the animals traits from only one of their parents, it is really rare that a kid would get both animal traits from his/her parents, making any information on his anatomy next to nothing." Answer Honey who as the one with the most knowledge of faunus.
"Not to mention that fox and rabbits faunus don't get along easily, making a fanus with this traits even more unlikely." Add Vanilla.
"From fox to rabbit! That's a hell of a habit!" Rap Killer B only to be hit be in the head by Honey and Vanilla for making fun of rabbits.
"So, how are we going to bring down this Grimm?" Weiss asked Ruby, but she was looking at Naruto, who scowled at the way she was talking about his friend.
"Don't call him a Grimm. Isobu may be a weird turtle-shrimp, but he is one of my friends that... he is one of my friends." Naruto said, stopping himself from saying how Isobu was one of his few living reminders of his old world before his soul was kicked out of his body. Ruby leaned against Naruto's left side with a small smile on her face, while Naruto looked down at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Can you tell us about some of the good things about them... your friends? You sound really fond of them, and the boat is on Auto-Pilot so we have the time." Ruby asked nicely, while Weiss rolled her eyes. A Grimm was a Grimm, and this one showed that it was hostile to humans that entered its territory. It didn't matter if Naruto knew this Grimm ahead of time, it had still attacked and killed people, so it deserved to die in her eyes. In fact, it was a bad choice to pick Naruto to come along for this mission when they only needed the needles from his tail to cause damage to this creature.
"Ruby is at least doing something to try to know tou-san and make him fall in love with him." Said Himawari.
"But she is doing so slowly that all her rivals are going to suprass her in no time! Hell I have seen continents move faster than her!" exclaim Anko in an exasperate tone.
"Well, before they turned into Grimms they used to be bigger... each of them was as big as large buildings. They were like siblings to each other, and they were all misunderstood by people... some were more... wicked than others. Isobu was one of the more gentle of them, and with mere touches he could turn things into coral... or Dust Crystals it would seem now." Naruto said after a moment. It seemed like all of the Tailed Beasts had gotten through more than a little mutation. Now he couldn't be sure about them exactly, but he did feel that his own reserves of aura had increased awhile back. He also learned that with the increase in aura, he gained back a certain ability.
"The change of the bijus was to be expected." State Gaara, but since his commentary was to cryptic they all look at him with a face that say explain, but since Gaara didn't get the message Zabuza ask him, "what do you mean kid?"
"Since chakra has almost disappear from the world the bijus can retain their form naturally, so they resort to next best thing that could support them making him part grimm." Answer Gaara.
"Do you know how did this happen? And why do they look like Naruto?" Ask Haku.
"I don't know how this happen, and about their appearance it is probably because he was the first person to befriend the nine of them and treat them more as persons that weapons." Answer Gaara, and having Killer B nodding make everyone else accept this explanation.
"Dust Crystals you say?" Weiss said with a... look on her face that couldn't be placed. That sounded like a very useful ability in her opinions, and if she could get that creature to give her a boost in power like that Horse-Dolphin thing did for Ruby, then she would have an unlimited supply of Dust Crystals.
"And there it goes that Schnee girl only thinking about dust, can she be less egocentric and think of his team first." Said Honey showing her disgust to Weiss.
"Well she is thinking practically, as a shinobi that is something that we respect." Said Kisame gaining a glare from Honey but a nod from almost all the shnobis.
"What about the horsey one?" Yang asked with a look towards Ruby, who blinked and got away from Naruto as she felt him take Crescent Rose Mk2 off of her back and extend the pole. She blinked, before he looked at the weapon.
"That was Kokuo, he was the fastest of the Tailed Beasts, being able to jump over mountains with a single leap, and cross countries in minutes. Yet, just like a dolphin, he had a blowhole and could use it to produce amazing steam abilities... this weapon... houses a part of Kokuo's soul. Kokuo must have really liked you Ruby." Naruto said after a moment as steam started to come out of the weapon with an orange crescent moon shaped blade appeared out of both ends. Naruto swung the weapon, before he grabbed it with both hands and swung it as hard as he could and sent a large wave of orange steam over the ocean and created a split in the water that made waves got to both sides of the steam blade. Naruto took his aura from the weapon, before he collapsed it and gave it back to Ruby.
"Wow, now I really hope that I get a boost. Is there anything that can shoot lava, because that would be just great?" Yang asked with an eager look on her face, while Naruto nodded, much to her surprise. She had been joking slightly when she had asked that, but to know that there was something involving lava made her even more excited.
"Why I'm not surprise that she would ask for the most ridiculous ability think she could think of only to have guess correctly the main ability of Son Goku? Ask Kushina.
"Well it seem that Yang and Naruto share the same kind of dumb luck, I wouldn't be surprise if she win the jackpot on the lottery or something like that." Answer Tsunade considering how much she could win by taking Yang to a casino of the afterlife.
"Yeah, but I don't think that you should go to Son Goku for any boosts in strength. I think you and Matatabi would be a better fit... yeah, she... was a strange cat. A cat with blue and black fur that was always on fire, and very respectful... maybe Matatabi would fit Blake better actually." Naruto corrected himself with a slight mocking, before Yang punched him in the arm. She was smiling at the light dig at her, before she noticed that Blake seemed to be thinking about something. Now that she thought about it, nobody ever really questioned Blake about her origins... well, Weiss had tried, but she had gotten nowhere.
It was now known that she was a Cat Faunus, so the sound of a Cat based Grimm that Naruto knew was interesting to her.
"It actually seems like Blake and Matatabi would make a good pairing." Gaara agree with Naruto reasoning.
"Well that is an obvious match up, I wonder with whom will be a good match for Isobu?" Ask Haku and make everyone think of who would be the best match to Isobu, finally Vanilla answer.
"Since Isobu is so shy and wants to leave in peace I will said that Velvet will be the perfect match for him." Almost everyone agree since Velvet and Isobu were so similar that they would be a perfect match.
"I only want to know with which gal will be pair my old ox pal!" demonstrate his interest Killer B and actually make everyone think on what he had said instead of just ignoring him, but they would never say it to him or he would never stop rapping.
"You seem to know a lot about using the steam and other abilities." Weiss said with a raised eyebrow, while Naruto nodded and held a finger in front of his lips and placed them in an almost kissing position. Naruto had been given the knowledge on how to use all of the Tailed Beast abilities when they had bumped fists with him, or he had come in contact with remnants of their chakra. Naruto breathed in deeply, before he breathed out a large ball of super heated orange steam. The steam soared and slammed into the water around the boat, before it exploded and the water that was hit turned into steam and became a mist around the bottom of the boat.
"Since when can you do that!?" Ruby shouted in shock at the new abilities, while Naruto shrugged.
"The same time your weapon changes I'm guessing. You have Kokuo's soul inside of your weapon, while part of its energy came to me and healed me up, while imprinting its power to me." Naruto said after a moment.
"So he gets the special ability of every biju that gets seal? That is so no fair! Why does he has all the fun when I'm stuck in this fish tank!" Complain Kisame.
"That is because the world, kami or whatever higher power there is has select him as an eternal hero for the world, while you are still in paying for all the bad things you did while you were alive." State Itachi as it was the most obvious thing, which it was to everyone except Kisame.
"But Kisame did ask something important, does Naruto gets something else beside the ability of the biju?" Add Haku.
"If you are asking if he gain some chakra from Kokuo then the answer is not, I have check that." Said Gaara answering what everyone was wondering now.
Naruto looked to see that each of the girls were looking like they wanted to ask him a question, so sighing, Naruto decided that if it would get them off his back for the moment he would answer a few. "Okay, since you clearly have something on your minds, each of you can ask ONE question and I will answer it no matter what." Naruto stated with a sigh, and Yang jumped in front of him first.
"That is a good way to open up and show you trust your teams son." Said Minato having everyone agree with him.
"Not to mention an excellent way to score points with the girls!" Add Jiraiya but he immediately receive a punch from Tsunade.
"I want to know who your first kiss was, and why you were trying to avoid the question a long time ago!" Yang shouted as she grabbed him from the front of the jacket, with the others looking at her like she was stupid. She could ask anything, but she asks that kind of question right off the bat.
"To think that is the only thing she has in her head, makes me fell an imminent felling of dread!" Rap B but everyone ignore him in order to retain their sanity, although it seem a little late for Hinata who was on the floor on fetal position repeating not this again, please no.
"It was an accident, and it was with my most hated friend Sasuke. We were glaring death at each other, and some ass bumped into me and sent us colliding... our lips collided and I hated it." Naruto answered with a raised eyebrow at the question, while Weiss slapped Yang in the back of the head.
"Seriously!? You could have asked him anything, and you ask him about his first kiss! Why didn't you ask him something serious!?" Weiss shouted, before Yang smirked.
"I can see by Hinata's reaction that she already knew about this, but why is she reacting like this? Didn't Naruto said it was an accident?" Ask Haku but Hinata didn't answer.
Seeing that her mother was really depress Himawari answer. "Kaa-chan is like that because Sasuke get Tou-san first kiss, it also depress Kaa-chan that she was there to see that kiss."
"Ja ja ja ja, who would have thought that the brat swing that way! But considering how hard he was always chasing your brother Itachi it shouldn't surprise me!" Laugh Kisame but was fish out of his tank by Zabuza to punch him in the head and warn him to not make fun of Naruto or else he would leave him alone with Naruto's family for a whole day.
"Come on Ice Queen, I have been dying to know. Nothing you guys ask will catch my interest nearly as much as this." Yang answered with a grin, while Naruto chuckled to himself when Blake came forward and looked at him with her expression dead serious.
"How do you know Sog the Bloody Whirlpool?" Blake asked with narrowed eyes, while Naruto shrugged. It was no problem to answer this, while Weiss raised an eyebrow for a moment, because for some reason that name seemed really familiar to her. It was like it was right at the tip of her tongue, and Naruto tilted his head at how he was going to answer that.
"He had me and Yang kidnapped awhile back, that was the reason we were naked in the woods with only towels. He booby trapped a spa." Naruto answered truthfully, hiding one very important detail about it. Blake did accept his answer, and she sighed in relief. Sog was a person that was very well known among the White Fang as a traitor who only loved his younger brother, whose name had been kept a secret so that nobody could take advantage of one of the most blood thirsty people in the White Fang.
The guy was a murderer, plain and simple
"If that girl would have seen at least a picture of Sog she would have seen the resemblance immediately." Said Kushina.
"Well Sog is working in the shadows, it's really surprising that she knows that much." Sai Jiraiya remembering how hard it was to get any intel on Sog and the Black Fang.
"Pfffft, booby." Ruby laughed after a moment, with everyone looking at the youngest of the group with raised eyebrows.
"Out of that entire sentence, you laugh at the booby part?" Weiss asked with disappointed clear, while Ruby blushed and rubbed her foot against the wood. She had forgot that Weiss didn't have as much of a sense of humor as the others. Blake was chuckling lightly, while Yang snorted. Finally, Weiss sighed and looked at Naruto with suspicion in her eyes. "Here is my question. I want to know what the worst thing you have ever done in your life is." Weiss said, wanting to get something to judge Naruto on, who seemed to think about it for a moment.
"Ok, that is a tough one. It has to be either the time that I lost control of myself and hurt a friend of mine, or the time that I painted a national monument when I was 12 and mocked the old leaders of my village... yeah, it is the first one. The second one was way too funny." Naruto said with a chuckle as he remembered all of the angry faces he had passed by when he had done that prank. There was no way he would consider that the worst thing he had done. The others were looking at him with a raised eyebrow, while Weiss took a calming breath at how this wasn't anything too bad, though she would consider the second one to be a bad crime.
"Did he really painted a national monument when he was 12?" ask a surprise not believing what she had hear.
"Yes he did, and also Bolt when he was his age." Answer Hinata remembering old times.
"I think is more interesting the fact that he even consider painting the Hokage monument as the worst thing he have done." This make everyone laugh at how silly was Naruto mentality.
"You painted a national monument before, are you-?" Ruby started before she had her mouth covered by Yang.
"One question Ruby, one question." Yang reminded her, with Ruby gaining a startled look when she remembered what she was about to do. She thought about it for a moment, before her eyes lit up and Yang took her hand off of her mouth. She knew just what she was going to ask, something that would reveal Naruto's inner most nature.
Everyone went silent and put special attention to what Ruby was going to say since she had a look of determination in her eyes.

"What was the happiest day of your life?" Ruby asked, and Naruto was stumped at how to answer that question. The others were surprised as well, seeing a truly good question coming out of Ruby was something they hadn't been expecting. The answer would show some deeper traits of Naruto depending on what his answer was. It would reveal what kind of man he was. Naruto was going to have to really think about this one. Naruto looked down for a moment with a small smile on his face, before he leaned up against the railing and looked up at the clouds in the sky.
They all stay quiet waiting for Naruto to answer since Ruby's question was really good one, they some of them have been wondering the same thing for a long time.
"The happiest day of my life... I guess I need to explain a bit deeper before you can understand. My parents both died the day I was born, and I spent most of my life with almost nothing. I always wondered what it was like to have parents... and what a mother's love was like. People always told me my parents were nothing, and sometimes that they died so they wouldn't have to raise me... I didn't want to believe them, so I didn't. It wasn't that long ago before I met my mother in a dream... she had left a part of her aura inside of me, and when I was ready she appeared in front of me... and we talked... she punched me, hugged me, talked with me, helped me with something important in my life... and she vanished. Meeting my mother was the happiest moment of my life, and I will always wonder how my life would have been if she had been there... I learned she loved me. Her hair was so red, and I will always love the color red because of her... her red hair was her red string of fate. It led her to my Dad..." Naruto said with a look towards Ruby for a moment. Naruto shook himself, and he wasn't crying in the slightest out of sadness, but he did wipe a tear away when he remembered the happiest memory of his entire life. Just knowing and talking to her was more than enough for him, even if it was only for a very small amount of time. Fort an orphan like him, that little bit of time was more than he had ever gotten before, so he would cherish it.
After this Kushina start crying at how important that meeting was for her son and that he consider it his happiest memory, of course Minato was comforting her while also crying, in fact almost everyone was crying at least a little with the obvious exceptions of Itachi and Gaara but they were also move.
Zabuza turn to see that Kisame appear to be crying so he ask him, "Kisame are you crying?"
Kisame immediately negate it and said. "Of course not! it's the bleach that you put in my tank, is irritating my eyes!"
Everyone sweet drop at his reaction, could it be that Kisame was a tsunder? "We didn't put bleach or anything else besides watter on your tank Kisame." Answer Haku, making everyone laugh at his expenses, but realizing that his rehabilitation really did work if he was showing this kind of emotions, even if he didn't want to admit it.
"Your mother sounds like a great... punched?" Yang questioned when Naruto chuckled, before he nodded.
"Yeah, she punched me, but more than that, she spoke words to me that I will never forget. The only words of advise she gave me as a mother... Naruto... don't be a picky... eat lots and grow strong... make sure you bathe every day and stay warm. Also, don't stay up late. You need lots of sleep. And make friends... you don't need a lot of friends, just a few. Ones you can really, really trust. I wasn't very good at it, but keep up with your studies and practice your ninjutsu hard. Remember that everyone has strength and weaknesses so don't get depressed if you can't do something well... respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the academy... Oh, and this is important. It's the three Prohibitions for a Shinobi... be extra careful when lending and borrowing money. Put your savings into your saving account. No alcohol until you're twenty... too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation. Another Prohibition is women." Naruto said before he closed his eyes while the others leaned in slightly so that they could hear these words his mother had said about women. Ruby was even more concerned about this than anyone else, and Naruto wiped a few more tears that were leaking out of his eyes.
He was smiling though, he smiled as he recalled her words to him.
"I'm a woman, so I don't know too much about this but... all you need to remember is that this world is made up of men and women. It's only natural to take an interest in girls. But just don't get hooked on bad women... find somebody just like me. Speaking of the Three Prohibitions, be wary of Jiraiya-sensei, you know... Naruto, from now on, you're going to face lots of pain and hardship... be true to yourself... have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true... There's so much... oh, so much more that I want to pass to you... I wish I could stay with you longer... I love you. Those were her final words to me, words that she told me she spoke to me when I she was dying, when I was a baby... I will NEVER forget these words." Naruto said with a smile on his face, before he heard the sounds of sniffing and he opened his eyes and looked down to see all four of the girls were crying.
Kushina remember perfectly when she said those words, and was so happy that Naruto not only hear her said those things to him,, but also cherish them so much, it make her feel that they would really become a happy family if she and Minato didn't died the night he was born.
Of course everyone was crying at this point, even Gaara and Itachi, the only ones that were not were Kushina and Minato who had been there when she spoke those words and were proud of his son, and Hinata and Himawari, who have hear Naruto told those exact words to their children and the story behind them.
"That is so beautiful... I wish I could have met your Mom." Ruby said as she wiped her eyes, but the tears kept flowing. She was happy for Naruto that he had such a caring mother, that some part of his life was filled with love. Call her sappy, but she wished she could have met and got the approval of this woman.
"Are you crying Weiss?" Blake asked as she wiped the tears from her own eyes, and Weiss wiped her eyes and shook her head.
"I'm not... I'm not crying because of those words. The sea air is just getting to me, and I have a headache." Weiss denied as hard as she could, making her seem like she was even more affected.
Zabuza decide to tease Kisame when he hear this. "Look Kisame you two would do a great couple since you are reacting the same way!"
Everyone laugh while Kisame just glare them and grunt, and Vanilla finally said at the end, "first she would have to overcome her prejudice toward faunus, although I don't know if he can be consider a faunus." And that make all laugh even harder and Kisame just sigh in defeat, this was going to be a long day for him.
Naruto grinned, but decided not to tease her... he looked at saw that Yang was crying her eyes out using her scarf to wipe her own tears. Naruto chuckled nervously.
Maybe he had gotten a bit too carried away with that.
"That... that was just so... I can't even say it." Yang said as she rubbed her eyes furiously. She wasn't able to tease Naruto about this. Those beautiful words should not be made fun of, no matter how much she wanted to tease Naruto. Even Yang realized there was a time and place for jokes, and this place was not one of those times. Naruto was chuckling nervously, before he scratched the back of his head lightly. Yeah, he really did get too carried away in his own memories. Blake then blinked when she realized something.
"Your father, what about him?" Blake asked, and Naruto grinned.
"Yeah, he did the same thing as Mom... and I sucker punched him in the gut." Naruto said with a shaking fist in the air, and a forced smile on the face. All of the others looked at Naruto with a deadpan expression.
Naruto was a Momma's boy?
Hearing what Naruto did to Minato when he meet him surprise everyone and turn to watch him expecting him to confirm this. "I'm guessing that he did that to my chakra duplicate that I leave when I seal Kurama inside him, so I don't have any recollection of those memories."
"I'm not really surprise he would sucker punch you Minato, after all you seal Kurama inside him." Answer Kushina making everyone agree with her and making Minato felt a little guilt for what he did to his son.
