The Grimm Change

Disclaimer : I do not own Naruto or RWBY

Naruto arrived in the large Arena with Galuchat strapped to his back with his new holder, to see all of the other competitors standing on the side of the field near the seats, as a veteran Huntsman gave them all a speech.

The speaker wore an ominous black cloak that hid all of his body except for his head. He had platinum blonde hair that fell to his shoulders, and had a sunburnt complexion.

The young blonde had the decency to blush, as he came forward to stand with the others just as the speech ended.

"...those are the qualities that we desire. That is what makes you a true Huntsman, a warrior that stands for justice, integrity, and the protection of the weak. Now, if there are no questions we shall begin the matches."

None of the warriors raised their hands, although the end of the speech had admittedly left the blond more than a little intrigued.

"Then we shall select the field for the first match."

Naruto wondered what the elder blonde meant by this, before the large screen that was projected above the centre of the Arena came to life. There was a circle on it, with different sectors having pictures of different landscapes. There was a tiny arrow in the centre which pointed upwards.

The circle began to spin, and became a blur before slowing down. It finally stopped, with the arrow resting upon a rocky terrain.

"Well, well, well, seems we'll be starting with the Rock Terrain."

The ninja watched awestruck as the ground shook quite violently, as the flat field lowered underground, only to be immediately replaced by a field that resembled a mountainside. It had large boulders scattered across it, with the land being fairly uneven. There was no sign of vegetation, and the ground seemed to be hard and dry.

"So, for the first match of today, make way for Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and Jose Placando!"

The other fourteen teenagers left the Arena until only Naruto and his opponent were left. The young ninja immediately recognized the boy in front of him. It was the guy from the first match he had seen yesterday, the one who had beaten his opponent with the lightning punches.

With the information that he had from that first match, he knew that Jose would be a formidable foe.

The blonde decided that he'd use Galuchat to keep his enemy at bay and try to wear him out by striking whenever he got a chance.

The referee brought him out of his reverie by firing a blank into the sky, signalling the start of the match. The two continued to stare each other down, as if daring the other to make the first move.

Naruto realized that he'd have to charge Jose with Galuchat to get the fight moving, so he drew the large sword off of his back, before springing forward. As he had expected, the black haired boy pulled out his daggers and proceeded to block the blonde's blow. After a momentary struggle, Jose dove to the side, as Galuchat continued downwards.

The teen's shoulder was lightly scraped by the blades of Galuchat, but Naruto felt the sudden spike in power as his sword used the opportunity to draw as much Aura as possible. The shinobi pulled Galuchat back up before it could hit the ground, and had to turn around as fast as possible to parry his enemy's strikes.

This time, Naruto used the stalemate to his advantage. He loosened his grip slightly, just enough to allow him to be pushed back a bit. This served to bring Jose closer, and thus the blond was easily able to throw back his opponent with a strong kick aimed at the solar plexus.

The black haired teen recovered quickly, and was on his feet in time to jump out of the way of Naruto's downward swing. He used that second to draw a strange container off of his back, and he immediately opened it.

Naruto saw some liquid spill out of it, as Jose threw the liquid around him, and jumped around spreading it as he simultaneously avoided Naruto's many blows.

The aforementioned blond was confused at his opponent's actions, but continued to attack. He stopped pursuing him and lifted his sword. As he aimed at his adversary, Galuchat's mouth opened to reveal machinery inside of its body.

Jose was not quick enough to dodge the fiery bullets that were flying towards him. Although his leather protected him to some extent, the bullets had still injured his left leg and arm, the former more so. Jose fell down to the ground, the empty container dropping next to him. The ninja cautiously approached him, and made sure to keep his guard up.

"Surrender, you're injured."

Despite the fact that his words were rather hypocritical, the blond did not want to critically injure another villager. Naruto had a distinct advantage, both due to having trained from a rather young age of nine, and having been in a multitude of real life situations, many of which had been against opponents who were much more superior than he was.

However, the black haired young man took the blonde's words as an insult towards his own strength. He smirked rather darkly at the blonde, before a chuckle escaped from his lips.

The sound caused his opponent to immediately alert himself. Naruto held his sword high as his left foot slid back slightly, prepared to either attack or jump back.

Unfortunately he was not prepared for what followed. The blond fell to the floor, spasming slightly. He felt the hairs on his neck stand as a mild electric current flowed through him. It wasn't too strong, but it was enough to bring him to his feet.

The black haired contestant rose to his feet, before placing his palm against the ground, which was wet due to the liquid he had thrown around.

The fallen blond watched on as sparks of electricity ran through his enemy's arms, before using the liquid as a conduit to shock him. This one was slightly stronger than the previous one, and made him feel a little numb.

"Most people would have been knocked out by that. You're tough, but not tough enough."

Naruto grinded his teeth as he felt the electricity flowing through him become stronger. Still, he was able to push himself up from the ground. He couldn't help but thank all those lightning jutsu he had been on the receiving end of, Chidori included. Compared to those, this was a mild shock at best.

Jose was more than surprised at the blonde being able to lift himself up. He himself couldn't hold the current forever, and would run out of energy sooner rather than later.

Naruto shrugged off the numbness, before turning towards his black haired opponent again, with Galuchat raised towards his neck.

"Do you surrender?"

Jose's blood boiled at the ninja's words. He immediately charged all of his Semblance into the electricity flowing through the liquid. This time, Naruto was prepared for the shock, and seemed to be unharmed by it.

The black haired competitor collapsed to the ground, breathing hard as he lost consciousness.

"And there you have it folks, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze has done it again! He has defeated his enemy not only quickly, but without resorting to anything other than sword arts. He will now move to the semi finals, and is closer to becoming Monchak's representative in the upcoming, Mistral Regional Tournament. Now, the next battle will be between Grank Konyo and Drant Cerule! I would like both of the competitors to wait as the Arena is reset for their battle."

Naruto was helped by a paramedic, who lead him off the field to the waiting room, with Jose being carried away in a stretcher.

The room was rather large, with sofas for the contestants lined up against one of the walls, and the opposite wall was a one way mirror that showed the Arena, where the Rock Arena was being replaced by the Water Arena.

Naruto saw many other competitors sitting in the room, either watching the battle or talking amongst themselves. They all paused their own activities to look at the new comer, but went back to their own respective devices after briefly assessing him.

The blonde made his way to a large, red velvet couch near the corner of the room, trying to avoid attention. Unlike his childhood where he had hungered for the stuff, the blond now understood that it was best to go unnoticed by potential enemies.

Letting out a relieved sigh as he sat down, the blonde put his sword down beside himself, before closing his eyes and trying to contact his tenant.

"What is it brat?"

By now more than used to the Kyuubi's general rudeness, Naruto went straight to business. He had something important to discuss with the fox, and knew that now was as good a time as any.

'These guys are not too challenging, but I doubt this tournament will be that easy. I don't want to rely completely on Galuchat or my Semblance, so I need to learn a Taijutsu style. Do you know any good ones?'

After a few moments of silence, the Kyuubi spoke up in its gruff voice.

"Well, as a Tailed Beast I never needed Taijutsu, but I have seen many styles in the past few centuries. I believe the most effective one was one that you're father used. It was called the Frog Kata."

This news both shocked and pleased the young ninja. To be able to learn something that his father, Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash could do was nothing short of a treat.

'So, can you teach me that?'

"Unfortunately, I only have a basic understanding of the style, having seen it for only a few minutes, just before I was sealed into you. But you have the Toad Contract, so you should be able to ask the Toads to teach you the style."

Those words rung in Naruto's head, as he suddenly recalled his Summoning companions. After several months of not using them, he had nearly forgotten of them.

To be suddenly reminded that he could summon them again was quite shocking for the blonde.

'Oh God, I completely forgot about the Toads! I'm gonna have to summon Gamakichi as soon as possible, and ask him about the Frog Kata. And hey, maybe he can tell me how to contact Jiraiya.'

The Huntsman-in-training smirked as he thought of learning the Taijutsu his father had known. And the chance to connect with his old world was invaluable.

"Well, you best wake up now. I think there's someone who'd like to talk to you right about now. We'll talk later."

The teen opened his eyes to see a pair of blue eyes staring at him. Controlling the reflex to yell, Naruto moved back a little, before speaking up to the guy.

"Who the hell are you!?"

The blue eyed boy backed away slightly, before introducing himself.

"Oh, sorry. My name's Jaune Arc. It's nice to meet you."

Author's Note :

Hello gals and guys! I was able to squeeze in this rather short chapter before my mid terms began, but this will be the last update for this fic this year, unfortunate as it may be. I will probably update my other fic though, so if any of you guys like Pokémon, you might wanna look into it.

Now, I know that Naruto may be coming off as too powerful, but this story has OPNaruto, as I have said previously, so you know what to expect.I bet most of you thought that the first person Naruto would meet from the main cast would be a girl who'd end up in his harem, didn't you? Well, guess what, he met Jaune first. And that isn't just to bash the guy or anything, it will lead to some serious development.

And, just a disclaimer, Naruto is not homosexual. Well, not in this fic at least. I am not a homophobic person or anything, but considering Naruto's upbringing was in early Japan, I doubt he even believes in gay relationships. I am not labelling the guy, but if he did, don't you think Kishimoto would've made the pairing NaruSasu. So to sum it up, the harem will consist of females.

Once again, I do not hate gays. It just seems so unrealistic given Naruto's upbringing.

Naruto will probably not use the Summoning in the next chapter, but that mostly depends on how long of a chapter I write next. XD

So, I hope you people enjoy this chapter, despite its size. I would really like it if you left a review, favourite, or follow me. If you have any questions or just wanna talk with someone, shoot me a PM. And that is a wrap, see you next time, with the next chapter.

Peace Out
