Hey, D211 here, I'm just gonna say that I know that I put a romance category here and that there hasn't been a lot of romance, but just bear with me a second. Before I can start to do any romance, I need to develop the story a little more, so just please, bear with me. And I'm not going to do anything non-canon until probably the next chapter, but anyway that's because I'm still getting used to this. Anywhooo, lets get to reading! Enjoy!
Ruby walked around the snow, trying to salvage some ammo that she dropped, and Yang was trying to pull Bumblebee out of the snow
"Great, this is just great. We're stranded. We lost a third of our party. And we have gained a defenseless old lady!" Yang said as she struggled to pull out the bike, and when she did, it popped out like a popcorn kernel popping, and Yang fell over and faceplants into the snow
My name is Maria Calavera, and I am not defenseless. I'm just a little hard of hearing and blind without my eyes. They are in desperate need of repair," Then she blinked, as if Yang's point dawned on her, "Okay, I'm starting to see your point."
Sasuke stepped forward, and said, "Just because you are elderly, does not mean that you are defenseless."
Hiruzen Sensei was elderly, and he was one of the most powerful Leaf Hokage's, and even managed to cut Orouchimaru's soul
And the Third Tsuchikage almost killed Sasuke. Particle Style Jutsu can be very deadly
Qrow then told his blonde niece, "Yang, knock it off. If we lose our cool now, we'll attract more Grimm."
Blake then says, "Does that even matter anymore? Apparently we've been attracting Grimm since we left Haven."
Yang then says angrily, "Oh, and how could I forget about that? What happened to no more lies or half-truths?"
Oscar, who was helping Maria, turns to Yang and says, "Yeah, I think it's about time that we had an explanation."
Ozpin then took over, and replied, "I did not lie to you."
Weiss then says, "Well, you certainly didn't tell us everything about the Relic."
"Please, now is not the time," Ozpin pleaded, but Yang was not having it
"No, we're past that. I wanna know why you're still not telling us everything," Yang demanded
Ozpin then says, "It is true that the Grimm are attracted to the Relics. It's faint, but undeniable. I believe that it has to do with their origin, but I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, I feared that making you all aware would only add anxiety and negativity. It seemed like the safer option."
"You know, I'm getting real tired of people making decisions for me," Weiss says
"Is that why you chose to lie to everyone about Lionheart too?" Yang asked
Ozpin nodded, and said, "Yes, as a matter of fact, I thought that the Kingdom of Mistral deserved better than the truth. And I believed that Leonardo deserved to be remembered for his lifetime of service, and not the unfortunate missteps that he took in his final years."
"Missteps?" Sasuke asked
"What Professor Lionheart did was reprehensible. I am not here to argue differently but does one lapse in judgment truly negate all of his good? Do we not all have regrets?" Ozpin said, "You may have met Professor Lionheart, but you never met the man he was before Salem found him."
Yang then says, "Look, we're supposed to be in this together. You can trust us. We're not gonna turn our backs on you."
"Do you think that Leo really was the first?" Ozpin asked, "That he didn't say those exact same words to me? I'm sorry, but you have to understand that my behaviors are backed by experience. I'm not saying that I have reason to not to think you will betray me. I'm saying that I have reasons for the things I do. The secrets that I ke-"
Sasuke then interrupted, "Ozpin, where is the Relic?"
Ozpin looked to his waist and saw that the Relic wasn't there.
"Where's the relic?" Ozpin asked
Ruby stepped forward, and said, "Right here."
The lamp was held in her arms
"It got scattered in the crash."
Ozpin lended out his hand, and said, "Please, hand it over."
Ruby then said, "So, all those times you talked about having faith in humanity, that was just for everyone else?"
Ozpin replied, "Miss Rose, the relic is a powerful item and I simply feel as though it is my burden to bear."
"But you said it couldn't do anything right now," Yang said
"So why does it matter who carries it?" Blake asked
Ozpin started towards them, and said, "I need you to listen to me."
Then suddenly he froze, as if something was keeping him from moving him
"Oz?" Qrow asked
"He's trying to stop you," Oscar said, in a strained voice
"Stop her from what?" Yang asked
"He's afraid…that'll you'll find out….what he's.." Oscar struggled to get out every word, "hiding."
Suddenly, Oscar took back control, and he collapsed onto his knees
"Her name is Jinn," Oscar said, as if he was struggling to keep Ozpin from coming back, "Say her name to summon her."
"Her name?" Ruby asked
Sasuke could see that the wind around them was picking up
Ruby looked at the lamp
It looked as if it were pulsing, and finally she said, "Jinn."
Suddenly, the snow whipping around them stopped and hanged in midair, as if time itself had frozen
"What?" Blake said
Sasuke looked around and asked, "Interesting."
Ruby looked at the lamp, and let it go
It started levitating, and it had a blue, misty like aura radiating from it
Suddenly, the blue mist came out and started to take form
And out came a blue woman, who was….naked?
NAKED!?
Qrow looked away, Sasuke looked emotionless as always, but on the inside, he just wanted to scream, "THIS AGAIN!?"
This reminded Sasuke of the time when Naruto pulled that sexy jutsu out on Iruka, and when he used a Harem variant on Kaguya. Goddamn it, it still got Sasuke everytime, but on the outside it didn't really look like it.
Jinn stretched, and it did some…..interesting things to her bosoms
This was just disgusting Sasuke with every minute he looked. Sasuke felt like blaming this on Qrow's misfortune. Sasuke knows because he asked the drunkard out of curiosity
"Ah, wonderful," Jinn said, and after she was done stretching, she looked at Ruby and asked, "Tell me, what knowledge do you seek?"
Maria tapped her goggles, as if trying to confirm what she was seeing was real
"I am Jinn," the genie said, "A being created by the God of Light to aid humanity in its quest for knowledge. I've been graced with the ability to answer any three questions every 100 years. You're in luck, I am still able to answer-"
"Thats enough!" Ozpin shouted, having taken back control
Jinn continued, "two questions of this era."
Everyone looked at Ozpin, in shock
Well, except Sasuke
Just hearing that she could answer two questions got his mind reeling
"Is it possible to come back to my own world?" Sasuke wanted to ask her
Jinn chuckled, "It's a pleasure to see you again old man."
"Ruby, please, don't," Ozpin pleaded
"Hey-" Qrow was about to say when Weiss pulled out her Myrtenaster on him, and Yang activated her Ember Celica, while Blake was all but ready to draw Gambol Shroud
Qrow raised up his hands and said, "Do whatever you think is right kiddo."
Ruby turned back to Jinn, and said, "Jinn..what is Ozpin hiding from us?"
"NO!" Ozpin said, and he charged towards Ruby, but as he was about to reach her, Sasuke was in front of him, and he rammed a open palm strike into Ozpin's chest, and sent him onto the ground
"That's enough," Sasuke said, then looked to Ruby and Jinn, and nodded, "Answer the question, genie."
Jinn nodded, and said, "Thank you, Sasuke."
Then suddenly, everyone could the see the world around them turning into a white void
Then they saw a castle appear
"There stood a lonely tower that sheltered a lonely girl. Her name was Salem."
/
So
Ozpin's actual name was Ozma
He had spent centuries trying to stop Salem, and despite it all, she was still alive, and could never be killed
If Sasuke was going to get rid of Salem, he had to either seal her away, turn her back to the light, or make her realize the importance of life and death
Personally, he preferred sealing her away
But with only one Rinnegan, his seal would not last forever, and he would have to find a permanent one.
"Salem can't be killed," Yang said, as if she couldn't believe it, "You all heard that too, right?"
Ozpin looked up, and tears had runned down his face, "I-"
"That was so much that you hadn't told us!" Yang shouted, "How could you think that was okay!?"
Ruby looked at Ozpin, "Professor, what is your plan to defeat Salem?"
"I.." Ozpin looked unsure, "I don't have one."
Qrow suddenly bashed his fist into Ozpin's face, and sent him flying backward and into a tree trunk
"No one wanted me. I was cursed. I gave my life to you because you gave me a place in this world. I thought I was finally doing something good," Qrow said
"But you are," Ozpin replied
"Meeting you was the worst luck of my life," Qrow said
Ozpin looked shocked, then said, "Maybe your right."
Ozpin then gave back control to Oscar, who clutched his face where Qrow struck him
"What happened?" Ruby asked
Oscar then replied, "He's gone."
"That bastard! Tell him that we're not done with him yet!" Yang shouted
"No. This is different. He's gone. It's like he's locked himself deep inside my head," Oscar said, "Our head?"
Suddenly, he clutched the sides of his head, and shouted, "I hate this! I want it to stop!"
"He just left us!?" Weiss said
"What are we gonna do now?" Blake asked
"Enough!" Maria shouted, "We need to get a move on!"
Suddenly, Jinn spoke up, "I didn't say I was finished."
"Huh?" everyone said
Suddenly, Sasuke realized what she meant
Ozpin still had one more secret. Sasuke's secret
He didn't want them to see it. He didn't want to see it all again. They would never look at him the same again. They would hate him, and never be with him. Sasuke would be alone.
Suddenly, Sasuke realized, that even though he didn't know it, he had actually grown a bond with them
"What? How?" Sasuke asked himself
Jinn looked at Sasuke and said, "Sorry, but I'm afraid I have to tell Sasuke."
"How do you even know who I am?" Sasuke asked
"I am a being of knowledge. I knew everything about the second that the Sage sent you into our world," Jinn said
"Sage?" Ruby asked
"Sasuke, what is she talking about?" Yang asked
Sasuke had enough
"SILENCE!" Sasuke said, his Sharingan flaring, and he let out his chakra, and everyone could feel the aura he produced, and they even saw a few wisps of purple flame-like chakra flowing off of him
Sasuke looked at Jinn, and said, "Alright, get it over with."
Jinn nodded, and said, "Yes, of course. And would you mind pulling back in that dark chakra of yours? It's making my audience uncomfortable."
Sasuke nodded, and forced his chakra back in, and deactivated his Sharingan
Jinn then said, "In a world with no Grimm, no huntsman, and where the moon was not shattered, there were Five Elemental Nations. The Land of Fire, The Land of Water, The Land of Earth, The Land of Lighting, and the Land of Wind. These were the Five Great Elemental Shinobi Nations. These Shinobi, or Ninja's, had no aura, or Semblance. Instead, they had a spiritual energy, called Chakra. This Chakra had many uses, from producing giant fireballs to creating giant forests. It is in the Land of Fire where this takes place, in a village named Konohagakure, or Village Hidden in the Leaves. In this village layed a certain clan, known as the Uchiha Clan."
Suddenly, Yang, Ruby, Blake, and Weiss all looked at Sasuke, as if recognizing that name. Sasuke had told them all the fake version of his background, but now they were going to see who he truly was.
"There were two people, a man named Fugaku Uchiha and a woman named Mikoto Uchiha. They had two sons, the first one being Itachi, and the second one, Sasuke," Jinn said
Yeah, I'm not gonna write out his entire life. Just so you know, I'm not gonna go all that research. I know a lot about Sasuke, but I DON'T know everything about him. I will admit that now.
