Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Sorry I took a while to post this, but doing the battle was a bit hard for me. I decided to ask someone for help with this, and after that, the chapter got much easiier. By the way, one-fourth of this story is done by DragonKingDragneel25, so you have him to thank for helping me get the chapter in. So, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or RWBY.

Reading Ch 36: Sage Mode Explodes!

"I'll read." Blake offered, getting the book. "Chapter 36: Sage Mode Explodes!..."

"Yang, Nora! You two come with me on the offensive!" Ruby shouted out at the other two more straight-forward fighters of the group. They needed to buy time, not actually win the fight, so it was best to go at it with everything they had. Put the stronger fighters in front, and place the support fighters in the back. It was obvious who belonged on the front, and both Pyrrha and Blake had decided to defend Naruto as he charged up.

Spirit smirked at Ruby and Weiss. "And that's why Ozpin named Ruby team leader," he told them.

Ruby blushed at the praised while Weiss huffed. "Yeah, yeah, I know, you don't have to rub it in," the Schnee heiress grumbled under her breath. Yang giggled at the interaction while Blake smirked.

"Right, lets go." Yang said as she punched towards the ground, and used the recoil of her weapon to increase her speed. She shot up towards Satori and she pulled her fist back, she was a pretty strong puncher, so she would stick with what she knew how to do.

Nora switched to a grenade launcher, and when Satori prepared to swat Yang like a fly, she launched a few explosives towards him.

"Thanks Nora," Yang smiled at the orange haired huntress.

"No problem, Yang!" said huntress said cheerfully.

Satori ducked underneath's Yang's punch and slapped her away from him with his tail. He opened his mouth up, before he swallowed Nora's grenades without the explosions really affecting him. Ruby launched herself towards him as he was ducked down, going for his ankles. Satori jumped over her and prepared to stomp on her, but Ruby shot her weapon and propelled herself away from the foot so that she was next to a recovering Yang.

Ruby hooked her weapon around Yang's waist, the blunted end, before she shot a round off and spun the two of them around.

"Boom! A Yang cannon!" Ruby shouted out,

Yang laughed at the pun while everyone else groaned, even Ruby. "Great pun, sis!" Yang exclaimed, whipping a tear from her eye. "I'm so proud of you!"

"Oh, dear God, no," Ruby mumbled from beneath her cloak, blushing in embarrassment. Why? Why did her other have to act like Yang and say such bad puns?

and a white glyph appeared in front of her. Her eyes widened for a moment, and she exchanged a glance with Yang.

Ruby flung Yang towards the glyph, and as Yang passed through it, her speed doubled.

"Ayayayayayaya!" Yang unleashed her battle cry, her speed and power increased by Ruby's throw and Weiss using her glyph. She also had her raw power increased, her eyes red as she turned the damage that she had taken into damage. The power she gained from the boost only lasted until her Semblence wore off, but it would be useful if she could get even one hit in.

Use its power against it.

Satori folded up his wings, before he landed on the ground and crouched down. Yang went right passed him, and he raised a hand up, before he slapped her. She slammed into the ground, ANd bounced, before she yelled in pain when her back smashed against a tree. She had her aura, but aura didn't mean it didn't hurt. Her hair lightly set on golden fire, and she forced herself to stand up.

Everyone looked at Yang in irritation for her battle cry, but winced when she was slapped back to earth. "I don't care what planet you're from, that's gotta hurt," Nora said.

"I'm glad I'm not my other right now," Yang mumbled. That looked like it hurt a lot.

"You will all die!" Satori declared as he unfolded his wings, and sent a massive barrage of feathers shooting in all directions.

Weiss stabbed the ground, and using Ice Dust, she created a barrier in front of her and Jaune to prevent them from being stabbed. The feathers still breached the ice, but it didn't actually manage to hit them. Yang got on her hands and knees, so close to the ground her cheek was touching the dirt, as the feathers hit the ground around her.

"You take the left." Blake told Pyrrha as she went to Naruto's right side and used her swords to knock away the feathers, changing their paths mid-flight. Pyrrha moved to his left side, and she waved her shield arm and smacked away the feathers using their own force to change their direction. The two of them were charged with making sure nothing happened to Naruto's real body for a reason.

Nora used grenades to blast away the feathers headed towards her, while Ruby weaved her way through them with her Speed.

Jaune looked down as he watched the screen. It just reminded him of little he knew when he started Beacon, and how much he needed to improve. Pyrrha noticed his mood, and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He looked at her, and she smiled at him. He smiled back.

"Damn, are we badasses or what?" Yang asked grinning.

"With you, I'd go with or what," Weiss told the blonde brawler. "All you did was fall to the ground."

"I'll knock you to the ground, Snow Angel," Yang growled.

"I'd like to see you try," Weiss shot back.

"Please read," Ruby squeaked. She didn't want her partner and sister to fight.

"How is it doing that? How are all of YOU doing these things?" Jaune whispered to himself as he watched everyone do superhuman feats, having no clue how they were surviving out there.

Weiss gave him a raised eyebrow, since it was like he had never heard of Aura or Semblences before.

Everyone looked to Jaune, except his team who already knew why. Jaune fidgeted for a while before he sighed. "My parents were too keen on my becoming a hunter," he said finally.

"Why?" Weiss asked, narrowing her eyes. "And is that why you had to fake a transcript?"

"...For the second question, yes." Jaune said. "For the first one, I rather not talk about." Weiss was about to insist when she saw Pyrrha giving her a stern glare.

The ice barrier shattered, and Weiss pointed her sword towards Yang. A black glyph appeared underneath her, and she gasped when she was thrown up into the air against her will. Yang was glad though, because Satori's fist smashed the ground she had been at. Weiss formed another glyph next to Yang, on her right side, because Satori raised both hands into the air to smash them down on her.

Yang jerked, like she was sucked, through the glyph and sent tumbling across the ground like a ragdoll when the beast crushed the ground she had been above.

"Thanks Weiss... never thought I would say that. Ruby, you good to go?" Yang asked as she stood back onto her feet, and Satori started to turn around towards them.

"Yeah, never would've thought that either," Yang said lightly. She then glared at Weiss and said, "Though I could've done without being turned into a ragdoll."

"I could have left you to die," Weiss retorted. "How's that sound?"

Yang conceited to her point. "Sounds like it would suck. A lot."

Satori moved out of the way when Nora shot a heart's designed explosion of grenades towards the way, forcing it to quit it's assault before it could really make it. They weren't able to damage it, Yang might be able to, and if she could properly charge up she might be able to do damage... but they needed to be able to hit it first.

"I'm... Weiss, look out!" Ruby shouted when Satori changed his direction and went towards Weiss and Jaune. Weiss created a Yellow glyph that appeared to be like a clock, before it spun underneath her and Jaune. She created several glyphs underneath them, and she used the ice dust in her weapon and pointed the hilt at Satori. She swung it downward, and when it got closer it was forced up into the air when large spikes of ice came from the ground, would have stabbed it too.

"I noticed!" Weiss yelled at Ruby, annoyed that she thought she was helping her, when she had it under control.

"Your arrogance is shining through," Ren commented, and Weiss winced. She couldn't believe just how bad she was back in initiation.

"Come on Ruby, think of something... I'll distract it!" Yang called out to her sister, and Satori changed direction towards Pyrrha and Blake, aiming for Naruto sitting down behind them. Yang increased her speed, and she gave a shout of rage, that attracted the attention of Satori as he looked towards the most rage filled person in the area.

Ruby's eyes widened when she noticed that it reacted to Yang's anger.

Yet earlier... it reacted with fear when it saw her determination, no anger or fear, just a desire to protect.

Ruby's eyes widened. "It reads minds when it senses negative emotions!" Everyone turn to her when she said that.

"How did you figure that out?" Weiss asked, being careful not to sound irritated. See, she can learn from this.

"Well, the Satori is looking at the one with the person with the most rage." Ruby said to them. "And seeing that all of us was thinking negative, he could read all of our movements. But when I had the desired to protect, he recoiled in fear.

Everyone thought about her words. "That makes sense." Blake admitted. Everyone agree with that statement.

'Makes me wonder what Naruto is planning.' Pyrrha thought in her head, as she look at the blonde haired boy.

"You got something?" Nora asked when she looked to find that she was out of ammo, and she turned her launcher into a hammer again. Several pink sparks charged up around her hands. It took her a moment to charge herself up without an outside source of electricity. She could make her own, but it was harder than manipulating that which was already around her.

"Yang, fall back! It doesn't have eyes, Satori senses Negative Emotions and reads your mind when it senses them!" Ruby shouted out, but it was too late, Yang was smacked aside and sent flying towards them. Nora caught Yang before she could hit the ground, but was still sent tumbling with her. The girls a mess of tangled limbs.

"Hey! We're suppose to fight, not play twister!" Nora shouted at the screen, shaking her fist. "Come on! Smack that disfigured monkey!"

"...She's getting too into it." Ren deadpanned. This always happen when Nora's watching something.

'Negative emotions...' Pyrrha thought as she looked at Naruto, and he started to gain a light eye-shadow of orange around his eyes in toad-like rings.

What exactly was his plan?

'Exactly what we're wondering.' Was the unanimous thought of everyone.

"Ow... that hurt, almost drained all my aura keeping that from killing me." Yang said with a grunt, her hair lighting up completely and floating around her. She was fully charged now, at the end of her limits. Her strength was pushed to the max, one more hit and she would have no more aura to fuel her Semblence with. Without aura, she lost the ability to actually use her Semblence. Semblences needed aura to use, and her Semblence involved her taking damage (which was lessened with aura) and then using more aura to use the Semblence.

She had a double drainer for her aura.

"Weiss, launch Yang at Satori." Jaune said when he registered what Ruby had said, and figured out a way they could use that to their advantage.

"You think she will actually listen to you?" Ren asked with raised eyebrows.

Jaune rubbed his head. "Honestly, it's one-tenth of a chance." He realized long ago that Weiss doesn't really take him all that seriously.

"... Fine." Weiss said as she activated her Semblence again, but she was sweating a little at this point. A glyph appeared underneath Yang, and Ruby saw that it was a black one.

Ren raised his eyebrows in wonder while Jaune's eyes widen. "Well, what do you know, miracles do happen." Ren said in a bit of amazement.

"I'm not that bad!"

"We beg to differ." Ruby, Yang, and Blake deadpanned.

Ruby took off her cloak, before she wrapped it around Yang's face and surprised the girl by making her blind.

"Ruby, what the heck are you planning?"

Ruby was about to say that she doesn't know before she figured out what her other is planning. "You'll see Yang." Is was what she said instead.

"Nora!" Ren called out, and he pointed towards Ruby. He was providing long range fire, but his bullets weren't working.

The glyph bounced the three girls up into the air, with Satori looking towards them. He could only sense the emotions of Yang and Nora... but when he read Yang's mind, he could only read confusion. He was reading the fact that she didn't know what she was going to do, or even where she was now.

Yang's eyes widen in realization, along with the others. "Wow, that was actually a good plan coming from Ruby and Jaune." Blake said, impressed.

The two mentioned blush at the compliment.

"Fling us." Ruby said as she put her feet on the edge of Nora's hammer, and the girl had no idea what to make of this, she was just as confused as Yang.

She did as ordered, and flung Yang and Ruby at random.

Satori stumbled back in shock, not sure what was going on at the moment. Ruby and Yang landed on top of Satori, and the beast reached up to remove them. Ruby took her cloak off of Yang, and put it back on herself as she stabbed Satori with her scythe. She held onto the beast, and she inflicted the first real wound to it.

"What... I'm going to enjoy this!" Yang shouted as she grabbed onto the fur of the beast, so that it couldn't throw her off. She raised her other fist, before she slammed it down onto Satori with all of her current might. The creature groaned and his knees buckled under the force of her attack, before he collapsed onto his hands and knees, a large indent in the base of his torso-head.

"Woohoo, I got the first struck!" Ruby cheered, pumping her fist up when she saw her other sunk Crescent Rose in the Satori.

"And I finally made a dent on that thing!" Yang cheered when she saw her other inflicting damage. But they won't be celebrating for long.

"Aww." Nora pouted in disappointment. She wanted to hurt the monkey monster as well.

If Yang didn't know what she was going to do, negative emotions or not, then Satori couldn't read her mind either.

Satori reached up and grabbed both of them, before slamming them into the ground. That finished it for Yang, her hair stopped glowing and her eyes turned lilac again. She was out of aura now, and Ruby landed on her ankle badly. She yelped and held her foot, the weakness of her Semblence. Without her legs, her Semblence didn't work well, and her aura was drained from being slammed into the ground.

"Can't run..." Ruby said, and Yang was groaning on the ground, stunned.

"Oh no." Jaune groaned, seeing that the two can now be attacked by the Satori. Ruby and Yang also look worried, realizing the same thing.

"Don't worry, I think I'll save them." Weiss said with a small smirk. She did so before at their own initiation.

Weiss began to take a pose to make a glyph to save them, but she stopped and started to pant when her overuse of her Semblence left her without any aura left to use.

"You were saying?" Yang and Ruby replied dully at the same time. Weiss, in response, merely look away from them with her arm cross. But she have a sheepish look on her face.

Her eyes widened as Satori jumped up into the air, and this time nobody was able to do anything to it. It flew up into the air, before it started to fly down at Yang and Ruby.

"Die!" Satori screamed out as a red ball appeared between his hands.

"Oh crap…." Yang and Ruby said at the same time, pale and with wide eyes. That look like it's gonna hurt. A lot.

A fist crached into the side of Satori as an orange blur appeared in the air, and Satori was sent flying against his will as he crashed into the trees and started to skid across the ground. Naruto caught the red ball of power, before he threw it towards Satori and the explosion rocked the ground. Satori was sent flying further, and more damaged than before, unable to fly with broken wings.

"...Go Naruto!" Ruby and Yang cheered, the two of them relieved that they didn't got injured

"But how?" Weiss said in shock. "The Satori could read our mind. How could it not see Naruto coming to attack him?"

Blake and Pyrrha both furrow their eyebrows in thought before coming up with the same conclusion. "It's because he doesn't have any negative emotions." Blake and Pyrrha said at the same time. Then Blake started speaking for both of them. "Because of his sage mode, he only has positive energy."

"But last time, Naruto felt dead inside when he last used it." Jaune, surprisingly, pointed out. "What changed?" In response, Pyrrha look at Team RWBY and smiled.

"He have friends looking after him." Was Pyrrha answers. And she can understand how that can change a lot of things, especially with a past like Naruto's.

"Thanks guys, you can take it easy... Thank you Ruby, for reminding me why I exist." Naruto said as he looked back at the girl in question. Ruby smiled at him, and Naruto looked towards Satori with a hard look, but not a hateful one.

"You're welcome Naruto." Ruby said softly. She's very glad that she was able to help him. And gave him a new reason to exist.

"What did I do?" Ruby asked Yang, who would shrug if she was capable of it.

"Try to protect him." Pyrrha answered. "And that's good enough for Naruto."

"Satori, you tried to hurt my comrades. I may have lost everything before, but that doesn't mean I will forget their memory. It doesn't matter how much pain my own past brings, I will keep on walking... because that's who I am!" Naruto declared. He would always be sad his friends died, but he couldn't allow his past to dictate his future anymore. He would carry his comrades in his heart, and fight to defend the comrades he made in the future.

Nora let out a few sniffles before wailing on Ren's shoulder. "What a beautiful speech!" Nora wailed while her friend attempts to comfort her.

"Damn, that was heartfelt." Jaune breathed out.

Pyrrha nodded at his word. "Agreed." She admire Naruto's strong will, despite on how much he suffered. He was an orphan at birth, was shunned by his village, forced to save the boy his crush's loves, and lost his entire village. Yet he still kept walking, not letting any of these things steer him to a dark path.

Team RWBY look at one another. Naruto is becoming a bigger influence for them then they imagine, even though he's from another dimension. Makes them wonder what will happen when they get back to Remnant. How they will act in the future.

Naruto moved forward as the Satori was standing up, and he punched the gaint being in the middle of the face. Satori was sent stumbling back, and Naruto kicked him in the jaw, before he slammed his fists onto his head and forced him to bow on the ground. Naruto flipped downwards, the Satori unable to predict his movements anymore, and kicked him down lower, face hitting the dirt and leaving an imprint.

"Why does he always make us feel mediocre?" Yang groaned in complaint. Seriously, Naruto looks way too overpowered since he's beating that monkey monster with ease.

"I will destroy you all!" Satori claimed loudly, and Naruto grabbed him by the tail and flung him up into the sky, far higher than anyone else could have thrown him.

Blake snorted. "You would have to get through him first." Blake pointed as Naruto flunged the monster up in the sky. And she doubts that Naruto will let him pass him.

"Come and try it." Naruto said as he created a clone next to him, and in his hands was a Rasengan moments later. Satori couldn't predict his movements anymore, which meant that when he fell towards the ground he couldn't dodge this next attack. "I haven't slept or eaten in days, so I'm going to make this quick." Naruto said as he jumped up towards the falling Satori.

His Rasengan grew larger, until it grew even larger than the Big Ball Rasengan... and it became even larger than a house in size alone.

Soon, it became large enough to compete with Satori in size.

"Ho-." Blake begin.

"-ly." Weiss continued.

"Shit." Yang finished.

Everyone is wide eyes at the size at the Rasengan made. Just when they think they saw all of Naruto's trick, new ones begin popping up. "I think you all know what I'm going to say." Jaune deadpanned, getting nods from everyone before they covered their ears. When they did, Jaune took a deep breath before yelling out-"

"BROKEN!"

"Die!" Satori screamed out, and it formed a red ball in front of it's mouth. Naruto pushed his Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan through the energy ball, destroying it before it was fully formed, and it collided and started to grind away at the body of Satori. Naruto and Satori started to rotate their positions in the air, until Naruto was above Satori looking down.

Most of Satori's body was being ground into dust, and Naruto jerked his arm and the Rasengan expanded to absorb the entire beast inside of it.

Then it shot off like a canon and collided with a far off section of the forest, and continued to leave a long and wide crater in the ground.

If Naruto allowed the Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan to use its full power, he could carve away a mountain range with ease. Satori couldn't match it, and when the attack ended Naruto landed on his feet and could sense that Satori's energy signature had faded into nothing.

"And that wasn't it's full power." Jaune said in a deadpanned tone. "Why am I not surprise?"

"I don't anyone is Jaune." Pyrrha said, getting nods of agreement from everyone. By this point, if they heard that an attack of his is more powerful, than they won't be surprise.

Jaune clasped his fingers together. "Please, don't let my team face him at the Vytal tournament, please!"

'And you jinxed us.' Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora thought dully. Jaune should know not to jinx them about this stuff.

The beast was dead.

"Woohoo!" Almost everyone cheered, even Weiss cheered. Ren and Blake didn't, but they do have smiles of relief.

Naruto allowed Sage Mode to end, before days of not eating, sleeping, and the side effect of Sage Mode, kicked in and he was drained of all his stamina. Naruto fell to his knees, before he fell flat on his face with a grin spread out across his lips.

He had found new precious people to protect.

Yang and Ruby smile widely while Blake and Weiss blush a bit. "I'm glad Ruby got him out of the funk." Yang said, getting Weiss and Blake to nod in agreement.

If they being honest to themselves, Ruby was the only one who could do that. She has the most pure hearted soul out of all of them and would think of her friends and family before herself.

Even Weiss admitted that Ruby is more kinder than she is. Especially after reading this book.

And that's the end. I hope you all liked this chapter. Review, favorite, and follow this and I will see you guys later.
