Chapter 15: The Copy Ninja
Okay so we're going to start things strong. I had planned on doing three chapters of Naruto but I decided against it. Anyways I hinted to this anime a while back and I'm finally going to do it (the intermission). Also, those that are going to point it out. Yeah, I used the wrong quote for this fight,that would be the second fight on the bridge. But I felt that this fight was pretty early on and pretty cool as well. So to make it up to you guys i'm going to come back later and do that fight some other time. ( it's on the list of a hundred other things i have to go back and do)

It had been a good 2 hours until they started slowly returning to the room, Ruby and Pyrrha being the last to enter both having red, puffy eyes. As they all sat down, there was a long silence as they still were stunned by the last world. It was only broken by one question which caused both
Salem and Ozpin to tense up.
"Will that world be safe now?" Qrow asked, curious whether Jaune's sacrifice was worth it.
"Yes that world will be safe from now on." Slayer said calmly as he messed with the settings before pulling away and walking to his seat.
"That's good. I guess, will Blu ever get over Jaunes death?" Blake asked cautiously. The question still caused Ruby to flinch slightly.
"Oh... that. Yeah, well fun fact that world has a get out of death free card called the dragon balls. Seven mystic balls that grant one … Or is it two wishes? Oh! well it can bring back one or multiple people back from the dead" Slayer said casually ignoring the wide-eyed stares he got from everyone.
"You mean to tell me that I just spent the last two hours consoling ruby over nothing. Because you didn't tell us they have some prized mcguffin like THAT!" Weiss shouted irritably at their host.
"Because if you had known would his sacrifice meant anything to you? To these people the concept of death doesn't mean much at don't see the importance of his sacrifice but you lot do. You understand that life is precious and you only get one chance. That is the reason I showed you this world without telling that bit of information." Slayer crudely stated, watching as realization start to wash over their faces and some even start to relax a little.
"Fine, we get your point … so what world will we be watching now?" Glynda asked tersely, a little mad at being denied information like that.
"In this world Jaune is a teacher to three students. So he is around Qrows or Taiyang's age. we'll see as they depart on their first mission outside their Shinobi village" Slayer informed them calmly. As they processed this information some began to grin at the idea of watching Jaune being a teacher.
"So who are his three students?" Port asked with a grin.
"Wait did you say Shinobi? You mean like ninjas?" Blake asked with a raised brow.
"Well, yes and no. they called themselves ninjas however they also act like mercenaries in a sense. As for his students, they are Ruby, Ren, and Pyrrha. They operate in a four man cell with Jaune as the leader and more experienced member." Slayer told them, smiling at Pyrrha's wide eye-d look, Ruby's giddy smile, and Ren's blank stare.
"So we're watching this Jaune teach us something important then." Ruby asked happily.
"Well I guess you could say that. But before that I'm going to cover what you three are in that village." Slayer said to the three in question. Causing them to gain a curious look on their faces.
"Pyrrha is an avenging prodigy from a near dead clan". As he said those words Pyrrha's face became sullen at the idea of her family being dead and her being all alone.
"Ren a civilian who only became a ninja, so he could be near Pyrrha" at those words Ren glared at the man in indignation.
"Ruby an outcast orphan who has a tremendous burden pushed upon her at birth." these words caused Ruby to start to shrink away in fear of having such a burden and having to deal with alone.
"Anyway I believe it's time to begin this viewing. By the way, the lesson is surviving battle against enemy ninja." Slayer said quickly as the room darkens and screen began to focus before any of them could even begin to respond.
The scene opens on… A very odd sight for ninjas. We see a red jumpsuit wearing Ruby cuddling a very frightened white rabbit. Meanwhile, Ren is scolding her for trying to act cool and it being nothing at all. Pyrrha is off to the side scoffing and calling Ruby a loser. Behind them is Jaune standing about 5'9 with a face mask and a headband covering his left eye. Next to Jaune stood an old man who was also shouting at Ruby for trying to give him a heart attack.
"Okay what's going on now?" Weiss asked in a confused tone.
"Right so earlier in their mission they were attacked by enemy ninjas. Who were at least chunin and Pyrrha held them back from killing Ruby. So to prove she isn't a burden on the team, Ruby tried to detect if anyone was nearby when they crossed into another country. She sensed something and threw a kunai at it and the result is what we see here." Slayer said quickly, only for more questions to be raised.
"So this the same universe as the picture I saw in the library." Blake muttered out loud causing people to look at her in the same amount of confusion.
"What picture? And what's a Chunin?" Yang asked curiously.
"Well for the first question I found a photo album in the library it had this team in it with the word team seven's first picture next to it." Blake explained to her fellow viewers who nodded in response some planning to go and look at some photos later if they could.
"As for the second question. Chūnin is a rank in their village and every other ninja village. From the lowest rank to highest it goes: academy students, genin, chūnin, Tokubetsu Jōnin, Jōnin, and kage. The lowest being trained in ninja art but not actually being ninjas yet and the highest being the leader of the village, sometimes as the strongest ninja." Slayer listed of the information to them before turning back to the screen.
Jaune was observed his surroundings once he noticed something about the rabbit.
"That's a snow rabbit. But the fur, they only have white fur in the winter when the days are short and there's little sunlight. This rabbit was raised indoors away from the light for only one purpose. A replacement technique" Jaune thought to himself as he continued to look around carefully as his students continue to threat over the rabbit.
"So they're already here" Jaune mentally stated as looked at the tree trying to see anything suspicious.
Meanwhile, in a tree above the group sat a large muscular man with bandages over his face.
"No wonder the demon brothers failed in their mission. It's the copy ninja from Konohagakure. Jaune of the Sharingan" the enemy ninja thought to himself before jumping from his hiding place. As he did Jaaune sensed something coming in fast.
"LOOK OUT!" Jaune shout as the threat drew closer. The threat was some kind of large spinning weapon coming right at them. As it drew close all of them dropped to the ground to avoid the weapon that then swooped upward and embedded itself in a nearby tree. Weapon was fully revealed to be an oversized Zanbatō. As they began to rise, they looked at the weapon and it's wielder; who landed on the handle and looked right at them. A large muscular shirtless man wearing gray pants, camo arm warmers and leg warmers, sandals, and a similar head to the rest of them but with a different symbol.
"That must be…" Jaune looking at the man in front remembering his image from somewhere. Ruby began to look ready to fight but Jaune started walking towards the man cautiously.
"That man … is that hazel?" Ozpin began before looking at Salem with a glare.
"Oh my yes he does look like our hazel, doesn't he cinder?" Salem asked her subordinate with smirk.
"Yes he does mistress. But may I ask what is with that headband they all wear and the symbols meanings" Cinder asked their host.
"The headband represent them graduating from a ninja academy. The symbol represents the nation or village they hail from. Jaune comes from konoha which is represented with a leaf. Hazel comes from Kirigakure which is represented with those squiggles for some reason." Slayer told as best he could before they turned back to the screen. (an 1)
"Well, well if it isn't Hazel Rainart. Rogue ninja from Kirigakure" the blond cyclops said calmly. Getting Ruby to eye him carefully before trying to charge forward only for Jaune to stop her with a hand.
"You're in the way. Get back." Jaune told her dangerously.
"But why?" Ruby asked indignantly.
"He's not those other ninja. He's in a whole other league. If he's here I'll need this. This could be treacherous" Jaune told her carefully as he began to reach for his headband and pull it up.
"Jaune of the sharingan eye. Did I get that right?" Hazel asked the blond man, looking over his shoulder at him. Pyrrha stared at her sensei in shock from the mention of his moniker. As Ren and Ruby gain confused looks on their faces.
"It's too bad Huh? But you'll have to hand over the old man." Hazel told him with a dangerous edge in his gruff voice.
"Now quick! Manji formation! Protect the bridge builder and stay out of this fight!" Jaune shouted to his team.
As if on cue Pyrhha, Nora, and Ren snapped out from their chairs and assumed defensive positions. Before they remembered they didn't have their weapons, and they weren't in a combat situation. The three silently got back to their seats as everyone stared at them awkwardly.
"What the fuck was that?" Mercury asked team JNPR bluntly.
"Jaune's first team work exercise was for us to run over the different defensive formation we should take when defending an objective. His words exactly." Ren stated plainly not even flinching from the stares he was receiving.
"So Mr. Arc drilled you on a traditional three point defensive strategy?" Glynda asked staring owlishly at them.
"His reason was that in the field, we should be ready for any type of callout. Even some of the more ridiculous one like Arkos or flower power." Pyrrha admitted sheepishly when she said those words Ruby look away with an embarrassed look as she recalled the names of her team attacks.
"Well, it seems there's the mind of a genius hidden by his humble visage" Port said proudly causing Oobleck to agree with him, both now planned to give Mr. Arc some help in his studies from now on to see if he could be a genius in more ways than strategy.
"How about we focus on the one before us and then plan what to do with Mr. Arc when we get. Now what does this Jaune Arc take into battle with him?" Glynda said to her colleagues.
"His skills, a cool head, and the normal ninja weapons. Other than that, you'll just have to wait and see." their host responded with a smirk.
"Huh?" Ren mumbled incoherently not understanding what his sensei was saying.
"I taught you team work. Now is the time to use it!" Jaune ordered them as he pulled his headband up. Under it was his closed eye with a scar going down the center of eye snapped open to reveal it blood-red color with three tomoe around his pupil. His eye seemed to glow for a brief second as if it was pulsing with energy. Ruby gained a shocked look on her face as she never saw something like this before.
"That's what was under his headband? What is he embarrassed about his eye or something?" Weiss asked with a blank stare. She gained only a few shrugs but no response from their host who only looked to the screen once more.
"Well I get to see the sharingan in action. This is an honor." Hazel grumbled out beneath his bandaged face.
"Everyone keeps saying sharingan, sharingan. Will someone tell me what sharingan is?" Ruby shouted in an irritated tone.
"Sharingan… is a rare power that resides in the eyes. The user of this visual jutsu or Doujutsu can instantly comprehend any Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu. And reflect the attack back on the attacker. The sharingan is a special, rare form of doujutsu. However, there more to the sharingan than that, a lot more!" Pyrrha explained coldly as Ruby was left stunned.
"You got it right Girl. But you only scratched the surface. The sharingan can analyze an opponent's technique and copy it to the smallest detail." Hazel said calmly as mist started forming around them all…
"That sounds a little cheap if you ask me. Being able to copy someones technique down to the smallest detail and not having to train for it yourself." Winter grumbled out loud.
"Well not exactly. You have to be at least capable to pull off the technique to be able to use it. Also, if your opponent is faster than you, then it doesn't matter if you copied their technique" Slayer said encouragingly.
"Okay but is that jutsu thing they were talking about?" Emerald asked curiously.
"Right to break it down. Jutsu is the techniques used by ninja in the field. First is Taijutsu the art of hand-to-hand combat. Next is Genjutsu the art of illusions. Finally, there Ninjutsu the art of chakra based attacks. There are more branches of jutsu such Kenjutsu or sword techniques. Then there is Fuinjutsu or sealing arts. The last two are Senjutsu or sage art and Medical Ninjutsu, healing arts" Slayer explained carefully. Each type catching someone's eye.
"Okay but what is chakra?" Emerald asked once more probing for info.
"Well similar to aura, which you lot use, and ki that the last Jaune used. Chakra is an energy that belong to this world. It is the combination of spiritual and physical power to form an energy that can manipulate the elements around into offensive or defensive techniques" Slayer explain once more getting the students excited at the idea of watching two elemental wielding fighters duke it out and a large screen in front of them.
"As for you Jōnin. In the assassination unit of Kirigakure we had a standing order to destroy you on sight. Your profile was in our bingo book it called you the man who copied over a thousand jutsu. Jaune the copy ninja" Hazel said with a challenging tone edge into his voice. Ren stares at his teacher wide-eyed in shock. Ruby voices her happiness at having a badass teacher.
"Wait a minute the sharingan only appears in a few members of the Nikos clan. My clan. Could he be?" Pyrrha questions herself staring at her sensei suspiciously. Hazel get into a crouch on the handle of his blade.
"Enough talking. I need to exterminate the old man." as he said those words the trio of genin locked into the same formation as team JNPR did earlier with kunai drawn at the ready. Jaune standing in front of them not taking his eyes off Hazel for a second.
"So I have to eliminate you first, eh Jaune? So be it." hazel said before he and his blade disappeared from sight. Ren gives a yelp as he spots him not far from his side.
"There he is! He's … standing on the water!" Ren shouts in surprise as hazel takes a strange pose as the mist began to swirl around him.
"So he can stand on water that's pretty cool but not all that dangerous." Qrow stated blandly.
"That technique requires a great deal of chakra control to pull off. It is the second in the series of chakra control exercises. The water walking exercise allows you to walk on any form of water from calm lake to raging rivers. It's proof on how well he can control his chakra" slayer told the drunk.
"And what does that mean in a fight?" Nora asked the host.
"With jutsus it means he can use less of his power to use techniques. By having more control the less power you waste in a fight. Like the difference between a brawler and a boxer's punches. Same result but different amount of energy used to get there." the horned man explained to them causing some of them to realize this might be a bigger threat than they thought.
"He's building a huge amount of chakra!" Jaune internally stated as he stared at the man.
"NINJA ART: HIDDEN MIST JUTSU!" Hazel shouted as the mist becomes a dense fog, and he disappears from sight once more. The three genin became much more alert as Jaune walked a little way away from them.
"He'll come after me first." Jaune said as he walked away from the group a few feet…
"But who is he?" Ren asked in a concerned voice.
"Hazel Rainart. The ex leader of Kiri's assassination group. He is a master of the silent killing technique" Jaune told them as he was still scanning the area for the man in question. This information caused them to tense up a little and look towards their sensei for the answer to an unasked question.
"It as the name suggests. It happens so fast you don't even have time to register it before you even hit the ground… the sharingan can't fully neutralize it so be on guard." Jaune informed them as an image of Hazel killing several Shinobi quickly passed over the screen before it returned to show Jaune and his students still guarding the old man. As they pulled up their guard the mist becomes so thick it was as if a wall of white had separated Jaune from the rest of them. They tightened their guard once more when they could no longer spot Jaune.
"Okay this looks bad. But if they keep their guard up they can still succeed." Pyrrha said calmly.
"Their facing an opponent who is a master assassin who specializes in silent killing. They don't really have that much of a chance to begin with." Cinder snorted at the champion who glared at her in response.
"As long as they keep their cool, we don't know anything yet." Taiyang said to the two girls. Only to back off when their glares turn onto him instead.
"Eight points... Larynx, Spine, Lungs, Liver, Jugular, Subclavian artery, Kidneys, Heart. Now which will my kill point?" Hazel said dangerously as his voice sounded like it came from every angle. In response to this Jaune flared his chakra causing the mist to be pushed away from him. However, when he did this Pyyrha's eyes gained a hollow look to them as she began to shake slightly.
"What an intense thirst for blood. One shallow breath, one tiny movement of the eye is enough to bring on instant death. If this keeps up I'll go insane! The clash of two jounin who are intent to kill each other. I never felt something so overwhelming, its like my own life is getting choked off. No I can't bear it I rather take my own life." Pyyrha thought as she felt the killing intent being let off by both ninjas. She began to turn the kunai towards herself to just get away from this sensation.
"PYRRHA!"
"Huh?" the girl responded turning her attention towards her sensei when he called her name out.
"Calm down! I will protect you with my life. All of you! I will not allow my comrades to die! Trust me." Jaune said in a fierce but comforting tone to his student. In response, she began to calm down and got back into position.
Those that knew Jaune grinned as it still showed that he was a lot like their jaune still a caring soul. But those who didn't were curious as to why he was this calming to hear right now.
"It's amazing how well that little bit of assurance can help in a situation like this." Ozpin said while sipping his coffee.
"But does he have the power to back that claim?" Salem spat at her rival
"We shall see Salem .we shall see." the headmaster replied snidely.
"I wouldn't be to sure." hazel growled out as he appears in the middle of the trio and the old man.
"It's over." the sword wielding man growled but before he could strike Jaune had instantly rushed him and impaled a kunai in the man's chest.
"Well that was quick." Emerald muttered in disappointment.
"Yeah for some big time assassin he didn't really… last… long" Mercury began before trailing off staring at where the blade met the wound. They all began to look at him before following his eyes to see that it wasn't blood coming out of the wound but …
Water dribbling out from where the kunai stabbed Hazel. But soon that hazel burst into a puddle of water.
"SENSEI BEHIND YOU!" Ruby shouted as another Hazel formed behind Jaune. Jaune didn't even have enough time to turn and look.
"DIE!" Hazel shouted as he swung his humongous sword into Jaune cutting him clean in half. But before he could even gloat a little bit, it turned out that the blood he thought he saw turned into just water as that Jaune also turned into a puddle on the ground.
"The water clone jutsu. It can't be. Even in the mist he saw through my illusion and copied it in an instant." Hazel thought as Jaune place another kunai to his neck.
"Don't even move… now it's over" Jaune said as he pressed the blade close to Hazel's throat.
"That clever dick he saw through the trap and set his own up, so he could get the drop on him!" Roman shouted excitedly seeing this type of strategy pulled off in the smallest of time frames.
"Water clone jutsu. So you can make an entire clone of yourself to attack with, completely made from water and chakra. That could be handy." Ren said in a curious tone.
"Yeah kinda reminds me of your semblance Blake don't ya think." Yang said to her partner who nodded in response.
"Yeah except my clone can only take hits not dish them out." Blake said with a hint of envy in her voice.
His team began to relax at what they believe to be the defeat of the enemy.
"Your finished!" Jaune said with finality.
"Finished? You really don't get it do you. Your technique is just a crass imitation. I'll never be defeated by a mere copycat ninja like you." Hazel growled out before chuckling lightly.
"But you are full of surprises though you already copied my water clone technique before you gave your little speech. You made your clone say those words to draw my attention while you hid in the mist. Nice try." Hazel said unraveling Jaune plan quickly before the blond could react another Hazel appeared behind him once more.
"But I'm not that easy to fool!" the new one said as the Hazel in front of Jaune turned into water once again. Hazel swung his blade at the blond, who ducked quickly to get out of the way. In response hazel planted the sword in the ground before pivoting on one foot and kicking Jaune into the nearby lake. The three genin watched in horror as Hazel raced to where Jaune was surfacing at and began to weave several hand gestures together.
" This isn't normal water it's too dense." Jaune thought before he realized that hazel was behind him again.
"Heh fool. WATER PRISON JUTSU!" Hazel shouted performing the last hand sign sticking his hand towards Jaune.
"No!" the blond got out before the water swirled around him forming a sphere imprisoning him.
"This prison may be made from water but it's stronger than steel. Hard to fight back when you can't move. So much for the great Jaune." hazel taunted the blond ninja. His hand enveloped by the water to maintain its hold.
"But before I finish you let me take care of your little friends first. WATER CLONE JUTSU!" Hazel shouted performing a one-handed seal as another water clone was formed from the lakes surface.
"He's more skilled than I thought!" Jaune internally shouted to himself as he observed the clones' creation.
"What's the big deal with those hand movements?" Raven asked their host.
"They are called hand signs you weave the standard twelve, named after the twelve zodiac animals, into different patterns to form different jutsus. The hand seals for the water prison jutsu are Snake, Ram, Horse, Rabbit, Ram, Horse, Rabbit, and then you spread your hands. Of Course there other variations based on the user and his skill level but oh well." Slayer once again explained to the crowd. Taking time to reveal how the hand signs looked to them through pictures and performing them in front of them as well.
"So with those, chakra, and control people can perform jutsu?" Blake asked curiously.
"Well yes, but there is also their nature affinity to factor in and whether they have trained this technique at all. The more you use it the easier it becomes to use in battle." the deity explained once more.
"Nature affinity?" Blake asked again.
"Right a nature or elemental affinity. There are five main elements in total; fire, water, earth;, wind, and lightning. Along with sub elements such as ice and lava which are combinations of two or more main elements. And to answer the question Jaunes affinity is lightning, but he can use the other elements just fine as well." Slayer said which caused team JNPR's pink bomber to start bouncing happily from the idea of her and her leader being 'lightning buddies'. Everyone else shrugged it off and turned back to the screen.
"You think getting that headband make you a ninja. No. when you've drift between life and death so much you can't tell the difference any more than you may be called a ninja. When you have dealt so much death that you have been plastered into the depths of the bingo book then you may earn the title of ninja. But to call your upstarts ninja is a joke." Hazel's clone growled out before performing the ram seal and disappearing into the mist again. Ruby and the rest of her team were scanning their surroundings to find him. But before Ruby could react he was already in front of her and punted her a good few feet away. The force of the kick knocked her headband off for hazel's clone to stomp on.
"Your just brats" it growled out towards them as Ren and Pyrrha turn towards where ruby landed with worried looks on their faces.
"Listen! You need to get away from here. Take the bridge builder and run. He's using all of his real power to keep me in this prison. That's why he sent his clone out to fight for him but the clone can't move far from its owner, so I need you to run as far away as you can!" Jaune shouted at them from within his prison. However, Pyrrha only gritted her teeth in response. She realized that it didn't matter if they ran away hazel would just hunt them down one by one before they all were dead and gone without even so much as a fight.
"We have to do it!" she shouts as she charges the older ninja. The clone hazel grasp the hilt of his sword in preparation for this attack. As pyrrha charge she began to wildly throw shuriken at the clone only for him to bat them away with his sword. When he did this Pyrrha jumped high in the air and tried to plunge a kunai into his head with a shout.
"Too easy." Hazel said as he intercepted the attack by grabbing her by the then tossed her violently across the dirt. The others stared in horror as Pyrrha skidded a couple feet behind them. Ruby began to cower in fear before the memory flash through head of her oath of pain to her team and the word Jaune had taught them once before. With these memories she found the strength to stand and fight. (an2)
"RUBY NO!" Jaune shouted as the small girl charged the water clone only to be knocked away by another hit. Ren started to shout at her for her recklessness stating if Pyrrha couldn't get close then she had no hope of defeating him. That they were too weak and inexperienced to do anything to him. But ruby only responded by getting up and revealed that she regained her headband from the clone.
"Hey you. The freak with no eyebrows! Put this into your ninja bingo book. The ninja who becomes the next hokage in konoha. She never backs down. And her name is Ruby rose!" the silver eyed girl said with a determined glare as hazel begin to twitch with anger.
"Pft nice one Ruby. Not only are you cocky but determined too." Yang said snickering at hazel's expression.
"Now that I mentioned it, where are his eyebrows?" Ruby asked curiously before looking at slayer, who only gave a confused shrug in response.
"Hey Pyrrha I got a plan." Ruby said to her teammate who only stare at her for a second before smirking a little.
"So you want to use teamwork now? Well let's hear this plan then." Pyrrha said in a snarky tone.
"Lets go wild and take this guy down. You ready!" Ruby said with a wide grin as Pyrrha nodded in response. This only caused hazel to chuckle in response.
"Big word coming from such a little girl. You think your plan gonna keep you in the game?" he growled towards them.
"This isn't good… WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I TOLD YOU TO RUN! This fight was over the moment I got caught, now take off! Your mission is not to prove how brave you are. Its to save the bridge builder! Stay on mission!" Jaune shouted to his students which caused Ruby to look towards the old man. The old man bowed his head before telling them to do whatever they could to save their sensei since this was all his fault to begin with.
"Alright, You hear that?" Pyrrha asked ready to begin the fight.
"Yeah! Believe it you ready?" Ruby said to her teammate with a grin spreading further on her face. This only caused hazel to laugh even more now.
"Still wanting to continue your little game of being ninja… when I was your age this hand had already crushed many of opponents." Hazel's clone said holding his hand up to spooked them how easily he talks about killing something.
"Hazel the demon." Jaune spat out towards the man.
"Oh so I was in your book too?" hazel asked his captive.
"One time long ago in kiri or otherwise known as Chigiri no Sato. Before a student could become a ninja there was one final test." Jaune said carefully to his students and the man holding him captive.
"Do you know about the graduation exam?" hazel asked the captive blond.
"What graduation exam?" Ruby asked only to receive a growling chuckle from hazel.
"What's the big deal anyway? We had graduation test too." Ruby stated only for hazel to laugh harder than before. Hazel schooled his expression before giving her an inquisitive look.
"Did you have to kill the other students to pass?" hazel asked in a serious tone. This question through them off guard as they looked at the man in horror.
"Imagine young ninja like you. Eating together, training together, and then come the final exam. Only they changed the rules. It's kill or be killed. You can't stop while your opponent still breathes. His was your friend!shared your dreams! Now it's him or you!" hazel snarl out to the frightened trio.
"Dear god…" Port barely mumbled out at a loss for words at this idea.
"They couldn't have … could they?" Oobleck asks their host in shock.
"They did. The name Jaune mentioned Chigiri no Sato. Translates to the blood mist for it strong ninja and blood soaked history. As of right now it in a civil war that's tearing the country apart and soaking their land in even more blood and hatred." Slayer told them as several of the crowd began to pale from the horror of this village while other snarled in anger towards their ideals.
"How could they have children kill one another. Just to graduate!" Glynda shouted, glaring at the man on screen.
"Well considered this, if you will? Jaune became a ninja when he was less than half the age of Ruby there. Exactly five years old, and he had to fight in a war with teammates 4 years older than him. He has killed more people before hit thirteen than most huntsmen do in their entire lives." Slayer explained to them getting shocked stares from the young students and harsh glares from the adults and teachers.
"That's so cruel!" Ren stuttered out in horror.
"Ten years ago in the mist graduation exam changed. One year before a dark evil filled the school with dread." Jaune said calmly as his only male students began to become more frightened before asking what evil he was talking about.
"Without pause or hesitation. A young boy who wasn't even a ninja approached the class and took down a hundred other students." Jaune explained staring at his captor whose eyes were shadowed out his expression unmoving.
"It felt so…GOOD!" Hazel snarled out happily spooking the two kunoichi. He then rushed forward and elbowed Pyrrha in the abdomen before dropping another elbow into her gut causing her cough up blood. He planted his foot on her stomach as both Ruby and Ren could only stare in horror at what happened. Jaune growled in anger but could not help his student as he was now.
"Heh heh heh you're nothing." Hazel said mockingly as applied pressure to his foot crushing the girls' stomach.
"Stop right there SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" ruby shouted her hand forming a cross shape.
Blake and her team perked up at this new technique as the name is the same one they use for Blakes semblance.
In a flash there at least 30 clones of ruby around the man. Hazel looked around with an impressed look on his face. All the ruby's drew there kunai before jumping and charging the man. Hazel removed his foot and planted himself in a stable stance ready to block this attack. As they all landed hazel knock them all away with a swing of his sword. As the land or skid away the clone began to poof from existence. The last ruby remaining began digging into her backpack.
"I'm not giving up yet… PYRRHA!" she shouted tossing a folded up blade towards her teammate who caught it with a spin. Pyrrha smirks and unfolds the weapon into a large shuriken.
"Demon wind shuriken! Windmill of shadows!" she shouts out before jumping into the air and throwing it at the man. Who taunted that it won't touch him.
"Pyrrha stop. Your edge is killing me here!" Nora said snickering the entire time at the name of the weapon. Team ruby also snickered as well at the ridiculous name.
"I didn't name it. Beside it sounds pretty good." Pyrrha mumbled to herself with a pout getting some sympathy from the people who had edgy names for their weapons.
"Why aim for the clone why isn't she aiming for the original?" Neo signed to the host who just gave a smile and pointed towards the screen. Neo joined Pyrrha in pouting.
As the weapon sailed towards the clone it curves past him heading towards the original hazel.
"So passed the clone and aimed for me. Smart." Hazel lazily said to the genin. Before reached up in a flash and grabbed the weapon by its ring.
"But not smart enough!" he cockily shouted at the pair, before his spotted a second one heading his way.
"A second shuriken in the shadow of the first one. The shadow shuriken jutsu!" hazel thought to himself as blade grew closer to him. Ren smile as the weapon was right on course, and he wouldn't be able to catch it this time.
"Or he could just jump over it, you know!" Roman said rubbing his forehead in irritation for the by far useless male genin.
"Ya know, ya jinxed them right?" Mercury said in a blank tone to the man, who only flipped him off in response.
Just as Roman said; Hazel just jumped over the weapon as soon as it came close to him never really moving from his spot.
"I told you a shuriken won't touch me!" he shouted once more in a cocky tone. But as the weapon sailed past him there was a puff of white smoke and Ruby was in its place throwing a kunai at him while he was in the air. Hazel acted quick but reluctant and dodged away from the jutsu he created causing it to fall and Jaune to become free.
"Well I'll be damned red you are one clever ninja!" Roman complimented the silver eyed girl, who gave a smirk in response.
"I know. Even if no else wants to admit it." Ruby said with a grin as her sister muttered about dumb luck.
"Grr I'll destroy you." Hazel growled out as a bit of blood came from a scratch Ruby's kunai had given him. He began to spin the first shuriken rapidly as move it towards her only for Jaune to emerge from the water and block it with the back of his hand. Hazel look towards him and saw a hate filled sharingan glare.
"Ruby that was an excellent plan. You've really grown, haven't you?" jaune said holding the weapon in place. Ruby only gave a snicker in response before saying how her plan worked in the first place using her clones as a distraction to transform into the shuriken. She bragged about how her and Pyrrha worked in tandem without any hiccups to release their sensei.
"Heh I got distracted and lost my grip on the water prison." hazel huffed out not moving an each.
"Don't flatter yourself. You weren't distracted you were forced to let go." Jaune said with an edge creeping into his tone. Hazel turned and glared at the blond who responded in kind.
"Your technique worked on me once but it won't work again. So what's it going to be?" Jaune said in a serious tone. Hazel only growled once more before folding the shuriken back up and pressing it towards Jaune. There was a brief struggle before Jaune backhanded the weapon away. When the weapon once out of sight the two men jumped away from each other, both still standing on the water. Hazel began to weave hand signs before landing and continue his weaving, but as soon as he started Jaune's sharingan eye scanned the movements, and he began the same pattern of hand signs. They both move in sync before ending on the same seal.
"WATER STYLE: WATER DRAGON JUTSU!" X2
As they shouted the techniques name the water's surface began to move and from it came two long serpent-like dragon rising up towards the sky above them intertwining and crossing before coming to a stop across from each other.
"This is ninjutsu and the abilities of the sharingan on fine display right here." Slayer said with a smirk. The crowd watched the techniques' beauty on display in front of them in wonder.
"It's certainly a stunning display but where's the power you talked about?" Salem asked a little bored.
Then in an instant the two dragons went to attack the opposite caster clashing in the middle causing a torrent of water to crash over the two ninja, who charged at the other. Hazel swung his massive blade at Jaune who blocked it with a single kunai.
"Something isn't right. The sharingan can comprehend and copy an enemies' technique. However…" Hazel thought to himself for a brief moment recognizing the problem right away was the fact that Jaune and him finished the jutsu at the same time.
"Both jutsu occurred simultaneously. Could he?" Hazel finished his train of thought with an unasked question going through his mind as he and Jaune continued to struggle against one another even as the water stopped falling. They continued to hold their ground before pushing off of one another. As they landed they moved around before stopping and doing the same exact pose hazel did before. This causes his eyes to widen in shock at Jaune exact mimicry of his strategy. Off to the side Ren is helping the old man to his feet as they both question what is going on in front of him.
"My movements. It as if… it's as if he knows what I'm…" Hazel's train of thought was cut off by Jaune saying.
"Going to do next?" the blond said causing hazel to become even more shocked.
"Oh yeah that's not creepy!" Nora muttered out getting nods from her friends and snickers from the teachers who have on occasion done the same thing to people.
"What? Is he reading my mind as well" hazel silently asked himself before staring at Jaunes' sharingan eye, moving his hands into another hand sign.
"It makes you furious, doesn't it?" Jaune asked taunting the other man mimicking his hand sign as well.
"All your doing is copying me, like a monkey!" hazel shouted at him switching to another hand sign only for Jaune to mimic it right away.
"You can't beat me with cheap tricks! I'll crush you!" they both said, angering hazel even further as he sped through the rest of the seal.
"When I'm finished with you, you'll never open that monkey mouth of yours again!" Hazel snarled at the blond, who copied the hand signs once more. Hazel however spotted something behind Jaune that gave him pause and filled him with shock.
"What is that?" Hazel thought before the image became cleared it appeared to be him standing behind Jaune in the same pose as himself.
"It's me! But how? Is it part of his illusion jutsu?" hazel question even more not noticing as Jaune finished the hand sign to the intended jutsu.
"WATER STYLE: GIANT VORTEX JUTSU!" the blond shouted shocking Hazel out of his stupor. The camera zooms in on Jaunes eye as the Tomoe began to spin around his pupil. The camera pulled back, as the jutsu began as a large spiraling torrent of water was shot at Hazel.
" Impossible!... I was just about to create a vortex, but he created one first! …. He copies my jutsu before I can even do it! I can't keep up!" hazel mentally screamed at himself as he tried and failed to save himself from the violent water blast.
"Wait so Jaune not only figured out what jutsu he was going to use but beat him in casting it as well?" Ruby asked in a confused tone.
"Looks like it. It might be because of how good he is or maybe something to do with his eye." Weiss offer her leader in a similar state of confusion.
The technique carried him away as it rocked the water beneath Jaune and sent Ruby to the shore with it violent waves. The water continue to carry Hazel until it hit a tree and smashed him against it. As the water receded hazel began to hunch forward trying to get a breath, only for 4 kunai to fly and hit his body. The camera pans up showing Jaune standing on the branch above him revealing he was the one to hit him with the kunai.
"You're finished!" Jaune snarled out towards the man. Hazel struggled to look up at him with a shocked look on his face.
"H-how? Can you see into the future?" Hazel asked in fear. Jaune stared at him for a while as he pulled out another kunai.
"Yeah… you're going to die!" Jaune said with finality in his voice. As those words left his mouth two needles were violently thrown into hazels neck at high speed. Jaune and his students snapped towards where those needles came from and it reveals a mask wearing ninja.
"You were right. He was going to die." the masked ninja said with a feminine voice. Jaune respond by jumping down and checking hazel's pulse quickly before turning to the new arrival with a questioning look in his eyes.
"No vitals… so I'm guessing you're a tracker ninja from kiri, aren't you?" Jaune asked calmly and the new ninja confirmed his theory. Ruby got on the defensive not liking how this new ninja looked only for Ren to remind her that tracker ninja hunt down rogue ninja like hazel and collect the body for the safety of their village secrets. The tracker ninja picked up Hazels body and left. Soon after Jaune passed out in front of his students complaining about chakra exhaustion. The screen fades out on that note as his students began to carry him away.
"Is that all we get? I was expecting I bit more." cinder whined not liking how short this world was compared to others.
"Yeah well at least we got to see a cool fight. That has to count for something." Mercury said to his boss who just shrugged in response.
"Those justu's were cool... but I still don't understand how Jaune could figure out Hazel's technique and cast it faster than him." Ruby said still confused about that.
"Allow me to explain. It's his sharingan eye." Slayer said plainly.
"Okay but how?" Yang asked with a twitching brow.
"The sharingan can cast illusions and predict enemy movements work especially well with justu's you already know. So Jaune cast the illusion on him that there was another hazel leading him through the hand sign and he predicted the jutsu that Hazel was going to use." Slayer explained to them but only got another question from emerald.
"When did he cast the illusion?" the pickpocket asked him.
"When Jaune looked him in the eye earlier. Perfect time to do so. As he wouldn't expect it" the horned man said calmly.
"Okay but why does he cover that eye up if it's so badass like that." Weiss asked curiously.
" Because it takes up too much chakra… before you ask he can't shut it off." Slayer said to the heiress. Only for Ozpin to ask the next question.
"Because that isn't his original eye it was a transplant eye as he lost his in battle." Slayer said as he walked towards the screen and began to program the next world into the viewing device.
"Then whose eye was it beforehand?" roman asked next wanting to figure out whom it originally belonged to.
"... it belonged to Jaunes' dead teammate, Roman Nikos. The sharingan is a bloodline trait of the Nikos clan. This make you Pyrrha's cousin in this world. You were half crushed under a boulder and you decided to give Jaune your good eye, so he could get Glynda and himself out of danger quickly." Slayer said causing the thief and the midget to flinch at the news on how he died. (an 3)
"Well that dark… what happened to goodwitch after that." Roman asked in concern, Glynda was wondering the same thing.
"She was captured by an enemy country and turned into a living bomb and to save their village Jaune had to kill her… and to just nip this in the bud, Jaunes' sensei died sealing a demon away somewhere. In an effort to protect their village. Literally everyone Jaune cared about is dead. His mother died when he was young and his father committed suicide." Slayer told them sadly.
"What the fuck! What god did he piss off, to get dealt such a shitty hand!" Qrow shouted angrily as this kid had dealt with more shit than anyone so far.
"I don't know. But who ever it was made him into the man he is today." their host said heading back to work on the programming as the other began to talk amongst themselves about theories on what kinda jutsu there could be. Slayer finished the job and walked away as the next world was loaded in.
There we go, one Naruto fight is done. (Ya know back when Naruto was good, a little gritty, and the sharingan wasn't complete bullshit.) Anyways I know some of you are going to say I rushed to the ending quickly but c'mon if I had included everything this thing would be about 40% longer than it needs to be. I did the next chapter reveal last time so sorry I don't got nothing for this time other than I won't be doing the full movie but I will be doing scenes from several of the movies and TV shows that Jaune's character appeared in. (I just got Disney+, so I have been on a Star Wars kick) Also I wanted to keep explanations small. but please remember, that world building is a bitch and Naruto has a pretty big fucking world to build. Anyways I'll see you next time.
AN1: what in the fuck are they supposed to be anyway?
AN2: fuck flash backs. They waste more time than anything else really. So there.
AN3: yes roman is obito. trust me it wasn't my first choice but i think it works.
