15 minutes ago

Ruby helped Yang back onto her feet and asked, "Yang, you sure you're ok?"

Yang nodded, and said, "Yeah, I'm fine. Besides, that was nothing compared to the time I fought that giant Atlas robot back in Vale. You remember that Ruby?"

Ruby nodded. Team RWBY, and two members of team SSSN, Neptune and Sun Wukong, were trying to chase down a crime lord named Roman Torchwick. He had gotten hold of a giant robot and tried to fight back, and even smashed Yang through a few stone pillars, only for Yang to get back up mad as ever and hit him back 3 times harder.

Ruby then looked at Weiss, and said, "What about you?"

Weiss looked at Ruby and replied, "Making those Vortex Glyphs are easy to make, but the problem is controlling them. It wears me out."

After they got Yang and Weiss settled to the side, it was Blake's and Ruby's turn

Ruby held her Crescent Rose behind her in her usual stance, and Blake drew her Gambol Shroud and went into a fighting stance

Ruby made sure that she stayed on her toes, in case she had to make any split-decision moves

Oscar held his hand up, like a ref, and said, "Alright, you girls know the rules. Ready?"

Blake tightened her grip on her blade, and Ruby secretly started to channel ice dust into her high-caliber sniper scythe

Oscar then brought his arm down and shouted, "Go!"

Blake rushed forward, and enveloped her blade in fire dust, and waving her flame enveloped blade around her, grabbed the black ribbon at the end of it and jumped in the air all at the same time swinging her flame-charged blade around her, making her look like she was in a airborne flaming cyclone.

Ruby used her semblance to dash backwards to safety, while firing multiple sniper shots that when upon impact exploded in a small burst of ice

Blake dodged and weaved in between Ruby's bullets, and then using her semblance, she created a clone that pushed her diagonally upward and above Ruby, and Blake kicked out and hit her in her forehead, causing Ruby to stumble backward

Blake then lunged forward and slashed, but Ruby had dashed out of the way and in a split-second was behind Blake in a burst of petals, and whirling Crescent Rose in a red blur, and Blake raised her blade in a attempt to avoid being hit, but couldn't exactly counter attack because Ruby's weapon allowed her to attack Blake while staying out of Blake's blade range.

It went on for a few moments with Blake parrying, blocking, and deflecting Ruby's Scythe with her katana before the red blade of Crescent Rose grazed Blake's right shoulder, her aura taking the hit

The blade had enough momentum in it to make Blake become off-balance for a second, and Ruby took that time to attack

Ruby spun around and did a strong roundhouse to Blake's stomach that sent her upward, and as Blake sailed upward, Crescent Rose's blade popped off, anchored to the handle with a black chain, and Ruby sent the blade upward and maneuvered it with skill that came from weeks of practice, and the chained blade was about to wrap around Blake when suddenly she summoned a clone that shot her forward at Ruby

As if on instinct, Ruby felt her body bend backward, as if going into a limbo stance, and saw the blade of Gambol Shroud slash the air not only one inch away from Ruby's nose

Blake then landed on the ground behind Ruby, and used her blade to try and sweep Ruby off her feet, but Ruby jumped back away from Blake, however, Ruby's foot clipped Blake's katana, and she went off-balance, and she felt her body going to the ground

However, at the last moment, Ruby used her semblance and dashed in a blur of rose petals out of Blake's reach and atop a nearby pillar, and Ruby then aimed with her sniper scythe, and fired a barrage of sniper shots

However, Blake using her agility and semblance, weaved and dodged Ruby's bullets, and then jumped up, using a clone made by her semblance to give her more airtime, and went towards Ruby

Ruby, not one to be undone, dashed towards Blake in a mass of rose petals, and when it looked as if the mass of petals was going to ram into Blake, the blur suddenly split up into four individual, smaller masses, and they maneuvered around Blake and recombined behind her, and Ruby came out of the mass, and brought the the blade of Crescent Rose down

Blake however, used her semblance to create a clone that had been channeled with earth dust, and timing it perfectly, created the clone at the exact moment that Ruby's blade would hit Blake, and the stone clone pushed Blake to the right, and successfully caught half of Ruby's in it's stone back, and Blake spun around and did a left roundhouse kick to Ruby's chest, and sent her flying backward, and hitting the ground

Ruby, got up to her feet, when she realized that she no longer had Crescent Rose

Ruby looked at Blake and saw Crescent Rose behind her, still lodged in the stone Blake clone, which no laid on the ground lifelessly

Back then, Ruby would have been at a severe disadvantage, but with Sasuke, Itachi, and Yang training her in Taijutsu, well, she wasn't as helpless

Ruby ran at Blake, and Blake got into a more defensive stance

Ruby then jumped up and brought her foot down with in a ax-kick, which Blake had blocked with her left arm, and Blake managed to push Ruby away, who had back flipped and landed back onto her feet, and Ruby then darted back in again and tried to do a quick jab to Blake's chest, but Blake simply leaned to the left, dodging Ruby's punch and hitting her with the butt Blake's blade, which, Ruby's aura taking damage, and causing her to back up

Ruby looked at Blake to see her lift her blade over her head and bring it down, and Ruby used her semblance to dash backwards, and then darted back in faster than Blake could react and kicked her forehead, and the counterattack caught the cat-faunus off guard, and RUby then followed up by sweeping Blake's feet from her and then jumping over Blake as she fell and dashed towards her blade and grabbed it

Ruby then began to channel large amounts of ice dust into her blade, and the amount of dust was to great the the stone clone started to freeze from the inside out

Ruby then channeled fire dust into it, and melted the ice which had softened the stone, and Ruby then pulled out her prized weapon

Ruby then turned around to see Blake's Gambol Shroud turned into pistol mode, and she began firing a barrage of pistol shots at Ruby

Ruby then began spinning her Scythe in front of her with skill and precision that came from only years of practice, and successfully deflected and blocked each of the bullets, her flame-dust infused blade spinning creating a circular inferno, in front of Ruby

Ruby then held her Scythe above her still spinning it, and threw her at Blake like a giant flaming shuriken, due to the blade being infused with fire dust

Blake ducked, dodging the Scythe, only to see a blur of roses zoom past her and Ruby grabbed the handle of her weapon, and swung around at Blake, and the flame-dust infused blade hit Blake in the mid-section, damaging her aura and sending her flying

However, before she went to far, Blake created a clone that sent her shooting back at Ruby, and Blake hit and rolled across the ground and attacked Ruby with a upward slash that hit Crescent Rose out of her grasp and up into the air, and then Blake spun around and did a backward kick to Ruby's stomach, and Ruby went flying backward

Blake then threw her Gambol Shroud at Ruby and grasped the black rope that was attached at the end, and the sword turned into its knife mode, and wrapped around Ruby's leg, and Blake pulled and heaved Ruby over her in a arc and slammed her into the ground in front of her, successfully separating Ruby from her precious scythe once again

Ruby got up, irritated. Ruby would have expected that Blake would have been able to do that once, but not twice! She should be doing better than this!

Ruby flipped back up onto her feet, and ran at Blake furiously and jumped up and went into a flying kick stance

Blake however used her semblance creating a clone that shot her a little bit upwards, and she was above Ruby, and Blake then kicked out with a straight hit to Ruby's forehead, and sent Ruby sprawling backward

Blake then landed back on her feet and said, "Come on Ruby, I know you're better than this."

Ruby looked at Blake, and could see the concerned, yet disappointed look on her face, and upon seeing her face, Ruby forced herself to get back onto her feet. She was not gonna go down this easily.

However, suddenly Ruby felt something inside her, like something shifting and clicking into place, and for some reason, somehow, everything in Ruby's field of vision looked….clearer. Ruby knew something was different, but what it was, she didn't know.

Ruby ran towards Blake, and threw a high kick at Blake's face, whom bobbed her head to dodge the attack, and Ruby then quickly crouched down and tried to sweep Blake's feet out from underneath her, but Blake then used her semblance to send herself up, her clone taking the hit and quickly fading like usual, but Blake then held her blade above her head and brought the black katana downward

Ruby looked up, and for some reason she could almost…see where the blade was going and where it would be.

Ruby reached up and clapped the blade in between her hands, much to Blake's shock

Ruby then swung Blake around and threw her behind her, and then quickly went to retrieve her scythe, and once she caught, the blade popped off, the black chain anchoring it to the handle, and Ruby flung the blade at Blake

Blake had already recovered, and leaned to the right and dodged the blade, however apparently not fast enough because a small strand of hair was cut by Ruby's scythe

Ruby then brought the blade back and kept flinging it back with such surprising speed and skill, that Blake was even hit a few times

Once Ruby was done with her attacks, she then snapped the blade back and into the handle, and it made a resounding click as it reconnected to the sniper handle

Ruby then faced the sniper muzzle behind her, and jumped forward, firing a short series of sniper shots behind her to give her an extra speed boost, and attacked Blake with her scythe, making sure not to get too close

Blake however, getting used to Ruby's fighting style, dodged, parried, and blocked each of Ruby's attacks, until finally Blake found a opening, and stabbed at Ruby's right thigh

It may have looked like Ruby wouldn't have been able to stop this, but for some reason, Ruby's eyes detected the attack almost immediately, and slapped the flat side of Blake's blade away with her left hand, much to both Ruby's and Blake's surprise

However, Ruby's surprise quickly went away because Ruby then tried to knee Blake in the stomach, but Blake leaned to the side, while crouching at the same time and sweeped her feet out from under her

Ruby, fell down with a "omph!"

Ruby looked up to see Blake above, ready to strike, when Ruby held up her Crescent Rose up and blocked her downward strike, then wit both legs kicked out at her stomach, forcing Blake to back up

Ruby then flipped back up onto her feet, and gave a battle cry as she charged forward, ready to strike again when she felt a pain in her eye for an instant, and it had impaired Ruby's vision for a moment, and missed Blake, who then somersaulted backward, kicking Ruby's Scythe out of her hand at the same time, and then followed up by pummeling Ruby with a barrage of mied barrage of punches, kicks, and slashes, and then finally finished her attack by doing a strong kick to Ruby's side, sending Ruby sprawling onto the ground

Ruby had been helpless against the attack, and her aura only at 22%, and whatever special ability she had earlier had seemed to gone away after that pain in her eye

Ruby struggled up to her feet, and said, "Ugh, I..am not finished!"

Blake went into a defensive stance and said, "Ruby, are you really sure you can keep doing this?"

Ruby then replied, "I will never give up!"

Then Ruby felt something inside her. She could feel something, an energy flowing through her, and she could feel it begin to refill her aura, and it felt almost…..divine.

Oscar looked as his scroll and was a bit shocked to see that Ruby's aura was back to 30%, even though it was previously 22%

"What the heck?!" Oscar said to himself

Ruby's vision suddenly felt clearer, just like the last time, and she could make out little small details that she hadn't really seen before.

Blake stood in front of Ruby, but now Blake had a purple outline all along her body. Ruby looked at her hand, and she could see that it was outlined as well, but it was in a red outline.

"Am I seeing….Aura?"

Ruby thought that this was impossible. You could only see aura when it breaks, and that lasts usually only for an instant. What the hell was happening!?

Ruby suddenly looked up and saw Blake rushing towards her, and faster than even Ruby thought possible, Ruby rushed forward and did a strong thrust punch into Blake's mid-section, and sent her flying backwards

Ruby then jumped up, and proceeded to smash Blake into the ground, but Blake rolled backward just in time, and Ruby's fist hit the ground with more force than she thought possible

Ruby then looked at Blake, and she felt something in her shift again, and she held up her hand, and could feel pressure begin to rotate in her hand, and become compressed

She felt something inside her leave her body and channel itself into her palm, and a small blue spinning sphere the size of a bead form in her hand, and it steadily grew bigger

It was so alien to Ruby, yet felt so familiar, as if she had somehow done something like this before, even though she never had

Suddenly, the sphere was now the size of a tennis ball, and Ruby felt herself lunge forward on instinct, and thrust the mysterious attack at Blake

Blake held up her blade, and the blue sphere was about to meet the black blade, and had Sasuke not upgraded Gambol Shroud, it would have gotten a big dent if the attack hit, but now the katana would hold steady, and would definitely hold against this attack and be spotless

Suddenly Sasuke came out of nowhere, and grabbed Ruby's wrist and spun it away from Blake and thrusted it at a nearby pillar, the blue little sphere dug into the pillar, and once it had done it's damage, it faded, leaving a crater in the pillar that was a 5 inches deep and 5 inches wide

Sasuke then looked at Ruby, who was bewildered at Sasuke's sudden arrival, and let go of her wrist and pulled off his eyepatch, and using his Rinnegan, he analyzed her and was shocked at what he saw.

He could see chakra flowing inside her, alongside her chakra, and could see that half of her Yin half and half of her Yang half had merged, and could see the chakra of that part flowing, and he could see the eight inner gates inside her, which had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

And to top it off, Ruby's chakra wasn't blue like normal chakra, but it was….silver. Sasuke had never seen chakra like this before.

Sasuke then asked, "Ruby, how did you do that?"

Ruby gave a confused look, and said, "I..I..I don't know." Sasuke had been giving Ruby a look that sorta made Ruby uneasy, and his Rinnegan only made it more disturbing

Sasuke put his eyepatch back, and said, "Ruby, you do know you had just used the Rasengan, right?"

Ruby's eyes suddenly went wide, and she said, "Wait, WHAT!?"

Blake then looked at Ruby, Sasuke, and said, "But, that's impossible. You said it yourself, we don't have chakra."

Yang then put her hand on her hip and gave a suspicious look, and said, "Sasuke, is there something you need to tell us?"

Weiss looked at Sasuke expectantly

Sasuke sighed.

"Well, now's a better time than any other. Besides, I wonder how they'll react when they find out that Ruby is descended from a god."

After Sasuke told the story of Zenshiki and everything that Hagoromo told him about her, everyone went silent

Oscar then piped up, "So, you're saying that she actually does have chakra? As does any silver-eyed warrior from her bloodline?"

Sasuke nodded, and said, "Yes."

Weiss then asked, "How come you haven't seen it before?"

Sasuke scowled in frustration, "Because she never had chakra before. But now for some reason, she does."

Ruby then said, "Well, my semblance was unlocked during a training session. Maybe it also counts for this as well."

Sasuke then replied, "Maybe."

Winter and Itachi, having both seen the Rasengan, and heard Sasuke's explanation, Itachi then looked at Ruby, and said, "A Silver-Eyed Warrior with a rather unknown yet divine chakra all in one package. She has become a valuable asset to use against Salem."

Oscar then asked, "What do you mean, unknown chakra?"

Sasuke then said, "Well, chakra is normally blue. However, Ruby's chakra is silver."

Winter then said, "How ironic, her being a silver-eyed warrior."

Sasuke couldn't really think straight now. His mind kept trailing to possible explanations, why Ruby had this chakra and what it was. And he didn't have answers for any of them. And Sasuke knew that there was only person who could answer these questions

Sasuke looked at his comrades, and said, "I must leave. I need to seek an audience with Hagoromo."

Winter didn't understand, but the rest knew, as Sasuke had been telling them that he and Hagoromo communicated. However, he didn't tell them about his and Hagoromo's argument

Sasuke then walked out of the training room, and through the halls, each one so familiar to him as if he had lived here, due to being able to easily memorize everything with the Sharingan

Sasuke exited the Academy, and turned towards the setting sun, and walked. He kept going until he reached the edge of Atlas, where he could see Mantle below

Sasuke closed his eyes, and focused.

"Hagoromo, where are you?"

Nothing

"Answer me!"

Nothing

Sasuke, in frustration, slammed his fist into the rail guard that kept any vehicles from flying off the edge of Atlas

Damn that old man!

Sasuke opened his eyes, and turned around and leaped up a great height, channeling chakra into his feet and landed atop a building

Sasuke then looked upward, and said to himself, "Hagoromo, answer me."

Nothing

Sasuke felt anger begin to build up in him, and it literally took everything he had to not lash out at his surroundings

Sasuke hopped down to the ground below, and began to walk back to Atlas, seething

Suddenly, as he walked, he saw a homeless faunus. He had gray hair, two gray furry wolf ears on his head, a dark gray wolf tail under him. He had brown pants with the knees torn, a brown jacket atop of a gray undershirt, and he was trying to warm himself with the Atlas provided heaters, and he looked rather skinny

Sasuke suddenly felt pity, and his anger faded away. He remembered how faunus were discriminated for their appearances, and remembered how his clan was treated the same for false rumors

Sasuke walked to the faunus, and asked, "Excuse me."

The wolf faunus looked at him, and Sasuke could tell from his sad silver eyes that he had been having a rough time

Sasuke then pulled out a stack of Lien from his cloak and said, "Here."

The faunus's eyes lit up, and he looked at Sasuke and said, "Are you sure?"

Sasuke nodded

The faunus looked at the lien once more before taking it and putting it in his coat pocket

"Thank you, Thank you," The faunus said

Sasuke nodded and turned to leave before the faunus grabbed his shoulder and said, "Wait, what is your name?"

Sasuke looked at the faunus and said, "It's Sasuke."

The faunus replied, "I'm Quince."

Sasuke, nodded, before he finally left

/

Weiss had followed Sasuke out of Atlas Academy and watched him. She could tell that he wasn't having a lucky day talking to Hagoromo. However, she didn't expect him to give lien to a struggling wolf faunus

Weiss followed Sasuke as he began to walk to a plaza, which just so happened to be pretty vacant

The plaza was spacious, and had a tree in the middle of it.

Weiss's steps were as light as a feather, but it didn't seem quiet enough because she heard Sasuke say, "I can tell it's you Weiss."

Weiss sighed, "How did you hear me?"

Sasuke turned around, and said, "I didn't hear you. But I could sense your presence."

Sasuke then gave Weiss a quizzical look and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Weiss walked closer to Sasuke and replied, "Just followed you to make sure you were okay."

Sasuke then replied, "Why wouldn't I be?"

Weiss shrugged

Sasuke sat on a nearby bench and patted the spot next to him

"Please, come and have a seat," Sasuke requested

Weiss obliged, and as she sat down, Sasuke then said, "You have all progressed well. And you have been making great progress with that new glyph of yours."

Sasuke's comment made Weiss's chest stir, and she couldn't help but smile, "Thank you. However the amount of dust they require is rather ridiculous. It wouldn't have been possible if you hadn't enhanced my weapons dust reserves."

Sasuke looked at Weiss, and began to ask, "Weiss…am I different?"

Weiss felt confused. What did he mean by that?

Weiss replied, "What do you mean?"

"To be honest, I've been….afraid. Afraid that I would turn back to who I was previously. That I might end up abandoning my comrades again. My…..friends."

Weiss replied, "Sasuke. You are different. You've changed. Back then, you probably would have never tried to train us, you would have never helped us. But now, you're fighting alongside us, mentoring us. The old Sasuke was not likely to do such a thing."

Sasuke looked at his hands, and thought of how many people he had killed, how many lives he had ruined with them.

Weiss continued, "You're no longer the darkness you once were Sasuke. And I know you will not return to that darkness. But don't just take my word for it. If you feel like you're beginning to falter, think about all you've done for good. Everything you are going to do. Naruto would have never wanted you to give up, and if he felt you were slipping back into the darkness, he would pull you out like he did before. But since he's not here, well….."

Weiss hesitated, before she said, "If you feel yourself falter, I will help you. Ruby will. Blake, Oscar, Ren, Jaune! We all will.

Sasuke looked at Weiss, and asked, "You….you would do that for me?"

Weiss replied, "Yes, without hesitation."

Sasuke's look that Weiss saw made her feel as if he was genuinely touched, and with a bit of boldness, she put her hand on top of Sasuke's, and said, "We will never abandon you."

Sasuke looked at Weiss's hand, then looked into Weiss's eyes, and said, "Thank you. You've made me feel at peace."

Sasuke suddenly felt everything shift, and he saw Naruto next to him, laughing, and he heard him say, ""When people are protecting something truly special to them, they truly can become as strong as they can be."

Sasuke then looked forward, and Naruto was no longer next to him, but stood in front of him, and the Hokage's hat was atop his head.

Naruto then smiled at Sasuke, and said, "Never give in, Sasuke!"

Suddenly, it faded, and Sasuke found himself back in Atlas again

"Sasuke," Weiss asked, "Are you alright?"

Sasuke looked at Weiss, and gave her a small smile, and replied, "Yes, I am."

But inside, Sasuke made a vow.

"Thank you, Naruto. Thank you, Weiss."

Hey, guys, hope you guys liked this chapter. I am also going to ask how you think this is going so far, and I would like your thoughts and feedback. Thanks for any of you who have stayed with me this far. Oh, and remember how I said I would make another story with Gaara? Well, here is a unofficial summary.

Gaara. The Fifth Kazekage, former One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and formerly known as Gaara of the Sand Waterfall. But when a brief battle with another dimension sends Gaara into a strange world, Gaara is tasked with protecting a city named Vacuo, and joins a place named Beacon Academy to get further acquainted with his new world. He is now known as Gaara, Desert Spirit of Vacuo.
