Naruto: Tornado of Souls V2

Blanket disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or RWBY

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Okay, I've had a lot said to me about there being a Jaune/Naruto fusion (both for and against). It's not going to happen. Naruto won't be fused with anybody because he holds Kurama. (Not to mention bits of Minato and Kushina's souls). I figure any soul trying to enter any jinchuriki would be blocked the seal holding the tailed beast. There is also the not so small issue of getting eaten for breakfast by the tailed beasts themselves. That's something I had set in stone from the first chapter. Here is chapter 32. Enjoy!

[ ] Signifies hand signs.

Last time:

The driver said, "The invoice is to Hyūga Hiraku damn it! Just get the guy so I can unload these things! This is taking forever and I have other deliveries to make!"

Hiashi poked his head out the sliding doors to see what all of the ruckus was. He slipped on his sandals and marched over to the gates. "What is going on here? The entire compound can hear you."

"This driver refuses to let anyone but Elder Hiraku sign for this delivery." said the straight laced guard.

"Hyūga Hiraku is the name on the invoice!" said the frustrated driver in a strangled tone. "He has to sign for it!"

Hiashi looked curiously at the boxes on the cart and nodded. He said to the third guard. "Go to the dojo and fetch Elder Hiraku. Tell him Hiashi-sama commands it."

Hiraku came storming out of the dojo a few minutes later and said, "What is this foolishness about a delivery for me?! I-" He saw Hiashi standing there with an invoice in his hand. The Clan Head had his byakugan eyes active and a ferocious look on his face.

"CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU ORDERED A SIX MONTH SUPPLY OF ADULT DIAPERS ON THE CLAN'S ACCOUNT HIRAKU?!" roared Hiashi.

Pandemonium ensued and it went downhill from there…

…

Five eight year olds with stars in their eyes thought, 'Naruto nii-san is the true master…'

Chapter 32

Fire Country, Tanzaku Gai

The lanky huntsman from Iron Country strolled into town. He looked around and saw Tanzaku Castle along with many bars, casinos and brothels. "Seems like as good a place as any to rest." he said tiredly. "I've been on the road for over a week." He looked at a hotel and soon checked in for the night. Little did he realize in the morning that he was in for the shock of his life…

…

Team 8 entered Tanzaku Gai the next morning after a Grimm hunting mission and was quite happy that it was over. Kiba said, "We had to chase that bunch of Ursas halfway across Fire Country before we got them. I can't believe it. Eight days on the road. I'm worn out."

Hinata chuckled. "Look at the bright side Kiba-kun. Once we caught them they were dead in no time."

Raven sighed and said, "We could have killed them all on the first day if the damn things had fought us instead of running." 'I need a drink…'

"The mission was a success so the details don't matter." said Kurenai. "We packed for two weeks anyway."

They were walking by a bar and saw a black haired twenty something man being thrown out….right in front of them. He landed face down and groaned. He muttered, "Damn booze is expensive in this down."

Kurenai stared for a second and shook her head. Turning to her team she said, "Remember that drinking is best done in moderation."

The man rolled over and said, "No need to lecture me sweetheart. I just ran out of money."

He looked at the beautiful Kurenai and her Team before his heart nearly jumped out of his throat. His red eyes were big as saucers when he asked, "RAVEN?!"

Raven's eyes were also huge and she said, "QROW?!"

…

"Bwahahaha!" bellowed Qrow as he sat in a restaurant with Team 8. "Who's the older twin now Raven? I'm twenty two and you're sixteen or seventeen! Bwahahaha!"

Kiba looked confused. "You guys are twins?"

"Yes." said Raven sullenly. "I'm older by ten minutes."

Kurenai sighed and asked "So how long have you lived in the Elemental Nations Qrow-san?"

Qrow leaned back in his seat and said, "I lived in Iron Country with the Samurai for about six months teaching them to fight Creatures of Grimm. When I saw the warning from Fire Country about Grimm I figured that I should go to Konoha and investigate. The last person I expected to run into was Raven-chan. Pffft!"

Raven kicked her brother in the shin under the table and said, "Laugh it up jerk!"

'So this is Qrow Branwen; one of Ozpin's lieutenants.' thought Hinata. 'I wonder how he ended up dead as he is a very powerful fighter.'

Raven looked at Qrow's weapon and said, "That looks just like your old scythe."

Qrow grinned and said, "The smiths in Iron Country do fantastic work don't you think?"

"Does it have a gun form as well?" asked Raven.

"Yes, but bullets are hard to come by." said Qrow. "The smiths in Iron Country think they are kind of worthless so I had to get a subpar smith to make the bullets."

The byakugan princess said, "That sounds just like Naruto-kun's Sheer Trigger before he got it rebuilt."

Qrow's eyes widened slightly. "So my gunblade ended up in Konoha."

Hinata looked surprised but said, "So it was yours. You wouldn't recognize it now. It's a completely new weapon except for the blade and the firing mechanism. Naruto-kun has some excellent bullets being made for it."

"Really…?" asked Qrow. "Now that's interesting. My scythe has the same caliber of rounds as the Sheer Trigger. Hmmm…."

Kurenai asked, "Are you intending to go to Konoha then Qrow-san? We are heading back there once we have rested."

Qrow smirked. "Well, I can't just up and leave my baby sister alone. I'll tag along."

Raven just growled as Qrow chuckled…

…

Fire Country, Konoha

Naruto, Blake and Pyrrha were walking out of Ichiraku's Ramen when they saw Neji headed their way with a furious look on his face. Tenten and Lee were trailing behind their teammate looking concerned. Neji marched up to Naruto angrily and said, "I owe you a beating for that sucker punch Uzumaki. I challenge you to a duel to knockout."

The orange loving blonde glared at Neji for a moment and then he said, "Fine; I'm game. Your reckoning has been a long time coming. We'll wait until Hinata-chan comes back to the village so she can watch as I stomp a mudhole in your ass and walk it dry."

"I'm challenging you now." growled Neji.

"Only in an officiated match." said Naruto. "I think Gai-sensei would be a good proctor since he always fights fair."

Lee said, "Naruto-san is right Neji. Let's get Gai-sensei so you can have a proper, Youthful match."

Tenten said, "A sanctioned match would be better Neji. A street fight could get you both brought up on charges."

Pyrrha frowned and said, "You should both let this go. We are all comrades."

Naruto wanted to growl about the oath he'd sworn on Hinata's blood back in the Chunin Exams. But then he remembered Hinata said it was okay and that she was fine now. He took a deep breath to calm himself and said. "I'll let this go if Neji will."

The redhead smiled softly and put her hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"You're just a coward Uzumaki." said Neji.

Naruto tensed and growled, "Hiashi-sama can be the proctor then. We'll fight in the Hyūga Compound right in front of your whole family." He blasted Neji with enough focused killing intent to make the Hyūga shiver. The branch house prodigy looked shocked and Naruto added salt to the wound by saying, "Or did your sporting blood turn to pigeon potty?"

Neji had steam coming out of his ears by this point and started trying to push back Naruto's overwhelming killing intent with his own.

Luckily for all concerned, Maito Gai came around the corner sensing the masses of killing intent coming off both genins. He quickly slipped in between Naruto and Neji and said, "What is the trouble genins?" Gai was addressing them as their superior officer rather than their sensei.

Naruto let off his killing intent and said, "Neji wants a fight and I refused unless it was an officiated match."

"Is this true Neji?" asked Gai.

Neji tensed slightly but said, "Uzumaki and I have unfinished business from the Chunin Exams."

Gai sighed slightly. 'I'd hoped Neji-kun and Naruto-kun would have let this go by now but it seems that their fires of anger still burn hot. I suppose it can't be helped. It's a symptom of their youth to hold such grudges. The Green Beast said, "We will settle this once and for all. I want my Eternal Rival Kakashi to be present as well."

Tenten said, "Gai-sensei, Kakashi-sensei was supposed to pick up a special order from Dad at the Heaven's Blade today. He might be there."

"Then let's head there Tenten-chan!" said Gai in his usual boisterous tone…

…

Inside the Heaven's Blade Weapon Shop

Tenten's Father Tengoku handed over a very special weapon to Kakashi and said, "Here you go Kakashi. It's just as you ordered it."

Kakashi opened the case and pulled out a cylinder with a handle. He clicked the handle and saw a long black shaft slide out.

"OH MY GOD! ONCE AGAIN I HAVE MY VERY OWN PIMPIN' CANE!" cried Kakashi through tears of joy…

…

Outside the Heaven's Blade Weapon Shop

"Maybe we should call this off and do it some other day…" said Naruto hearing his sensei's orgasmic cry of joy about his pimpin' cane.

Blake and Pyrrha were sporting massive sweat drops and the genins of Team 9 looked distinctively uncomfortable.

Gai said, "So my Eternal Rival has his pimpin' cane at last! Let us go in and congratulate him!"

The six genins all stared at Gai and Lee said, "Forgive me Gai-sensei, but why is Kakashi-sensei's cane so…ummm…pimpin'?"

"I have no idea!" said Gai joyously.

"Well…I think we genins should leave you to bond with Kakashi-sensei for now." said Blake in a disturbed tone of voice.

"Yes, this match can wait!" added Pyrrha.

The six genins all nodded in unison with each other and quickly split…

…

Fire Country, Tanzaku Gai

The next morning Team 8 and Qrow set out for Konoha the next morning at dawn in good spirits. The Branwen twins actually were happy to see each other even if they didn't show it much. The pair was in a bizarre situation with their age difference (that and dying etc.) The twins were walking a few paces behind the others talking.

"So what about your semblance of misfortune?" Raven asked quietly.

Qrow shrugged, "For some reason it's gone. Not that I'm complaining. I think it vanished when the other guy's spirit left."

Raven quirked a dark eyebrow, "What do you mean he left?"

"The guy that I merged with was a dishonored samurai named Kento that committed seppuku after he broke the code of Bushido." said Qrow. "He gave me his knowledge and said he was going to the pure land now that he atoned. He seemed totally at peace about the whole thing."

"Wish I'd had it that easy." said Raven under her breath. Qrow raised an eyebrow and she said, "I'll explain it all in private…Are you planning to stay in Konoha brother? If you aren't plagued with bad luck then…"

"You know; I'm either crazy or you seem nicer Raven." said Qrow obnoxiously.

Raven elbowed him but said, "A lot has changed me; I can't help it. I…I'll explain things later. Suffice it to say the girl I merged with was criminally insane and had two personalities."

Qrow pulled out his flask and took a sip before handing it to Raven who took a drink herself. She handed her brother's flask back to him and said, "Thanks; in short things were really rough."

"So what is Konoha like?" asked Qrow.

Raven smiled softly and said, "It's a safe place. It's like one big tribe. I like it there."

"Hmmm…" pondered Qrow. "That does sound nice."

…

Fire Country, Konoha, Naruto's Apartment

It was mid morning and Naruto woke up with Blake in his arms. She'd spent the night and when the two woke up early that morning they'd been very aroused. Now Blake was awake and her sleepy amber eyes and bed head hair made her look all the better to the blonde. She smiled and slid her body up on his before she kissed him heatedly. Naruto reciprocated and smiled back at his cat eared hime when they separated. She stretched like a cat and said, "Mmmm, wake up sex is awesome Naruto-kun. I love you."

Naruto gave her toothy smile and said, "I love you too Blake-chan." He stretched as well underneath her and looked over his shoulder at the clock. "Crud. It's already ten o'clock. We'd best get up and meet Pyrrha-chan at the flower shop for lunch at noon like we planned."

Blake's ears perked up and she practically purred, "That gives us a little over ninety minutes to shower together…"

…

Fire Country, the road from Tanzaku Gai to Konoha

"So how did you die brother? It's not like you are a total weakling." Raven asked obnoxiously.

Qrow said, "Actually it's kind of embarrassing."

Raven grinned evilly and said, "I'll have to tell all my friends then."

"You have friends?" asked Qrow in exaggerated shock.

She growled, "Don't make me hurt you."

The lanky man shrugged. "I was fighting a battle below the top of Beacon Tower when a giant gear fell off of it and crushed me and the Grimm I was fighting. I saw a white light and poof I was dead. I'll be damned if Oz didn't design those gears at the top of the tower just for that purpose. I never saw it coming until it was too late."

"Ouch." said Raven with a visible cringe. "We'll ask Ozpin when we get back to Konoha."

"Oz is here?!" asked Qrow in shock.

"Yeah, and he's still an idealistic idiot." said Raven. "He goes by Kakashi now. He's a jonin. It was him that convinced the Hokage to send out that letter to the various countries to warn them about the Creatures of Grimm."

"As in Copycat Kakashi?" he asked.

"That's him. How did you hear of him?" asked Raven.

Qrow pulled out a Bingo Book and said, "He's rather well known."

The girl nodded and said, "We'll be seeing Konoha soon. Try not to embarrass me too much."

Qrow just chuckled evilly…

…

Konoha, Yamanaka Flower Shop

Naruto and Blake made it to the flower shop at noon and saw it was open even though it was lunch time. When they came in the pair saw Ayano at the counter who greeted them as usual with, "Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower Shop, I'm Yamanaka Ayano; how may I help yo- Oh, Naruto-kun and Blake-chan; welcome."

Blake gave one of her minimal smiles and said, "Hello Ayano-san. Is Pyrrha-chan here?"

Pyrrha came out of the back and said, "Hello again!"

Blake asked, "Do you want us to get you two some takeout for lunch? I'm sure you both could use a break."

"That would be nice." said Pyrrha. "What do you think Ayano?"

Ayano smiled and said, "That's very kind of you; let me get you kids some money."

Naruto waved his hands and said, "I've got it covered. Just tell us what you both want and Blake-chan and I will go and get it. After that we'll find Kakashi-sensei."

That was when Neji showed up with, Kakashi, Gai and his teammates in tow…

…

Konoha Front Gates

Team 8 arrived home with Qrow bringing up the rear. As they all signed in both Izumo and Kotetsu tried to make heads or tails of how the Branwens were related given how intense Raven was and how laid back Qrow seemed. Kurenai said they needed to see the Hokage to see about getting Qrow citizenship. About halfway to the Hokage Tower they saw Neji and Naruto marching towards the training grounds along with their teammates and senseis. Kiba said, "Oh shit; it's going down sensei! This I have to see." He took off at a trot with Akamaru.

Hinata smiled evilly and her eyes ignited, "Naruto-kun is going to grind Neji nii-san into paste at last. Let's go watch."

Raven had seen Naruto fight for real and thought, 'This is going to be awesome!' "Come on Kurenai-sensei; let's go!"

Kurenai sighed as her charges ran off. "I guess there's no stopping them."

Qrow asked Kurenai, "What's going on? Raven looked positively thrilled."

The genjutsu mistress said, "To make a long story short; the blonde is named Uzumaki Naruto. He and the long haired genin Hyūga Neji have had an intense rivalry brewing for some time. It looks like things have come to a head at last."

"Hmmm…I guess I'll be able to see what these kids can really do." said Qrow as he watched the genins rush off.

'Considering how strong Naruto has become training under Jiraiya-sama I doubt Neji stands a chance.' thought Kurenai. 'Besides, Naruto swore on Hinata-chan's blood that he would make Neji pay for trying to kill her…'

…

Training Ground 9

"Just remember trash, you are fated to lose." said Neji haughtily. "There are losers and winners in this world and fate has made you a loser. You won't catch me off guard like last time Uzumaki."

Naruto glared and said, "Shut up and get ready to be buried! You want a fight and I'm going to give you one."

Gai felt the killing intent coming off Naruto and thought, 'I hope this teaches you a lesson about humility Neji-kun.' "I will be proctoring this match. When I say it is over, the match is over. Are both of you prepared to fight?"

The blonde nodded and said, "I'm ready Gai-sensei."

Neji said, "I am prepared."

"BEGIN!" called Gai as he jumped back so the fighters would have room to battle.

Pyrrha didn't look pleased with the situation and Blake looked downright angry. Tenten looked worried and Lee looked rather torn. 'This whole situation is unyouthful. Neji-kun is fighting with vengeance in his heart.'

The just arriving Team 8 saw Neji charging at Naruto in a blur. Naruto met him head on with a half powered rasengan in the chest which sent the Hyūga prodigy spinning across the training field before he crashed to the ground with busted ribs. Neji was laying face down and Naruto waited for him to get up. The branch house prodigy managed to get up to his hands and knees before he collapsed onto his side and passed out…

Gai announced in a solemn tone, "This match is over by knockout. Winner, Uzumaki Naruto." The Green Beast sighed and said, "I hope that you will both forgive each other and forget about this whole unyouthful debacle Naruto-kun."

Naruto nodded at the Green Beast and said, "I'm very sorry about all of this Gai-sensei."

"Some fights can't be avoided." said Gai. "It appears this was one of them."

"Let's get Neji-kun to the hospital Gai." said Kakashi. "I don't think it's anything life threatening but he's going to wake up hurting like hell."

"Right you are my Eternal Rival." said the Green Beast. Kakashi waved at Qrow just as the two jonins vanished with Neji in a body flicker.

…

The other genins were gathered around Naruto talking. "That was really one sided man." said Kiba. "It was pretty anticlimactic."

Hinata wanted to kiss Naruto passionately but said, "Thank you for avenging me Naruto-kun." She gave him a gentle hug and whispered in his ear, "I'll reward you properly later."

"I'm just glad that's over." said Pyrrha. "Such grudges shouldn't be held between comrades."

Blake said, "Well, Neji got what was coming to him regardless."

Raven smiled shyly at Naruto, "Congratulations on your victory. You took him out in one shot."

Naruto said, "Thanks everybody."

Lee came over and said seriously, "Naruto-kun; I really hope you take Gai-sensei's advice to heart. Thank you for holding back." Naruto nodded.

"Maybe this will break Neji out of his blind belief in fate." said Tenten. "We'll see you later Naruto. Come on Lee-kun. We should be there when Neji-kun wakes up."

"Of course Tenten-chan; let's go." said Lee. The pair waved to everyone and went to the hospital to see their teammate.

Kurenai said, "Thank you for Hinata-chan's sake Naruto. I really don't approve of these things but you did swear a blood oath."

Qrow sat back and watched everyone's reactions to Naruto's one sided victory. He saw Blake and Pyrrha there and said, "Hello ladies; it's good to see you both alive."

Blake's amber eyes were wide open and Pyrrha's jaw dropped. "Qrow Branwen?! Is that you?" asked Blake in disbelief.

The scythe wielder chuckled, "In the flesh girls. How are you two doing? I just arrived here in Konoha."

Pyrrha smiled and said, "Welcome to Konoha then. I'm sure Kakashi will be glad to see you as well."

Qrow smiled and said, "Yeah, old Oz gave me a wave."

A few proper introductions were exchanged before Kurenai took Team 8 and Qrow off to see the Hokage…

…

Later… Raven Branwen's Apartment

Raven said, "I guess you can crash on the couch Qrow but take a shower first."

"Will do." replied Qrow. "Where are the towels?"

"In the closet across from the bathroom." she answered. "Qrow…?"

"Yes?" he answered.

"Do you think Yang made it out okay?" asked Raven. "I was using my semblance to go to her when the white light got me too."

Qrow was silent for a few moments and said, "I honestly don't know. Blake might but I don't know if you want to ask her. She was partners with Yang after all."

…

Anko and Blake's Apartment

"…And Naruto-kun knocked Neji out with a low powered rasengan to the chest nee-chan." said Blake "The Hyūga jerk passed out from the pain. We all figure he will be in the hospital for a while."

Anko smirked. "A rasengan huh? It probably busted his ribs or at least bruised them black and blue. Serves the arrogant little bastard right."

"I guess so." said the feline faunus girl in agreement. "It was over in a flash. I don't understand why Neji had such a superiority complex to begin with. I'm friends with Tenten and she said Neji was always really arrogant for some reason."

Anko shrugged. "There's always a prima donna in every group. The kid probably should thank Naruto-kun for knocking his block off before an enemy kills him because he thinks he's invincible. I'm sure Gai knows that too. Sometimes a big serving of humble pie will teach people like that some humility." Anko sipped her tea and asked, "So who is this Qrow person you mentioned?"

Blake smiled and said, "He's Yang and Ruby's Uncle and I guess he's Branwen Raven's older brother from what little was said. Qrow's also a really strong fighter from what I've seen. He's kind of irreverent and crass. You'd like him nee-chan."

Anko burst into laughter. "Irreverent and crass? Sounds like my kind of guy."

"I'll introduce you." said Blake. "I want to find out if he knows any more than Ilia and I do about Beacon falling. I don't know when or where he died. We really didn't get to talk much because Kurenai-sensei dragged him and Team 8 off to see the Hokage."

…

Naruto's Apartment

The orange loving blonde was practicing his meditation after he got out of the shower. The day had been stressful and he had a lot on his mind….

….

Naruto's mindscape….

Naruto's eyes opened in a place he could only call a sewer. "Where am I? This is new. Jiraiya-sensei said I should seek inner peace instead of a place like this." As the blonde wandered around he saw an enormous cage with a single tag on it that said, 'Seal' upon it.

A huge red eye opened within the darkness of the cage and a rumbling voice said, "So my jailer has finally come to grace me with his presence. Why did you come here ningen?"

The blonde said, "So you are the Kyubi….I came here by accident while meditating. I wasn't seeking you out."

The ancient fox growled and said sarcastically, "So you got lost in your own mind? You are truly pathetic ningen."

Naruto frowned. "I'm not going to argue with you fox. I don't understand why you attacked Konoha to begin with but that's why you were imprisoned. I had no choice in becoming your jailer. I was less than a day old so don't put the blame on me."

Kyubi roared and unleashed a massive amount of killing intent on Naruto. The blonde countered with his own killing intent and his eyes began to glow as the wind picked up around him. The fox said, "So you have Typhoon Release…interesting."

The blonde reeled in his killing intent and the winds died down. Naruto said, "This conversation is going nowhere. I'm out of here Kyubi."

…

Naruto's Apartment

Naruto opened his eyes and saw his apartment was intact but it looked like a powerful wind had blown through the room and messed everything up. The orange loving ninja growled and thought, 'When I activate my Typhoon Release in my mind it seems my body does it subconsciously as well.' He made a dozen shadow clones and straightened up his apartment. 'It seems like me getting hit with masses of killing intent can set it off.' He looked out his window and saw circular cloud formations above his apartment complex in the sky that was slowly dissipating. 'I have to be more careful.' thought the blonde. "I wonder if Kyubi wasn't taunting me just to cause this sort of thing." he wondered aloud. "I'll have to talk to Jiraiya-sensei about this…"

…

Konoha Hospital, Neji's room

Neji was staring in disbelief at the letter his Father Hizashi had left him about his own fate and how he chose to die because he loved his brother Hiashi. The Branch House prodigy asked in a shaken voice, "Why did you not show this to me before Hiashi-sama?"

"You were so fixated on fate that you would never have believed me Neji." said Hiashi. "I could have gotten down on my hands and knees and you wouldn't have accepted the truth. What are you going to do with this knowledge Neji?"

Neji thought to himself, 'Father, perhaps I can carve my own fate like you did…' He shed a single tear and said, "I think I need to be alone for a little while Hiashi-sama."

Hiashi nodded and said, "Once you are well I will begin training you personally in the Main Branch techniques of the juken. You are my nephew after all."

…

Hiashi stepped out of Neji's room and saw Maito Gai there along with Neji's teammates sitting in the waiting room. The Clan Head looked tired but said, "Thank you for waiting. I think Neji needs a little time to reflect. I believe that he has finally realized that fate isn't everything."

Gai smiled and said, "That is wonderful news. Perhaps his fight with Uzumaki Naruto-kun was worth it after all."

"Yes; perhaps the shock was worth it." agreed Hiashi.

Tenten asked, "Hiashi-sama, how are Neji's ribs?"

"He will recover in time." said Hiashi. "I was arrogant like Neji as a young teenager until a very fiery kunoichi named Uzumaki Kushina put me in my place…" Hiashi added wistfully, "It was a lesson well learned." The Hyūga Clan head bid them farewell and went on his way.

"Uzumaki Kushina?" asked Tenten. "Is she…?"

Gai winked and said, "Uzumaki Kushina was known as 'the Red Hot Habanero' for her temper…and her temper was only surpassed by her beauty. She was a kage level kunoichi that I held in the greatest respect. Sadly she died in the Kyubi attack alongside the Fourth Hokage so many years ago. Let's leave it at that."

…

Training Ground 52

Naruto stood alone and focused on the sky. He made a fist and his blue eyes lit up with power. The clouds in the sky started to swirl and a tornado like funnel started forming around Naruto as the power grew. The blonde's spiky hair whipped about in the center of the vortex. Seeing he'd managed to activate the Typhoon Release at will Naruto willed the maelstrom back into the sky and the clouds dissipated back into their normal patterns….Then he started going through his sword katas and the wind seemed to whip around him wherever he cut the air. Naruto felt the power of the wind soar inside of him and started streaming it through his blade. 'I can feel the energy roaring through me. It's like a hurricane waiting to be unleashed. This is good. I need to hone it to split a waterfall next according to Jiraiya-sensei. I'll have to ask him and Kakashi-sensei for advice.'

Unknown to Naruto he had an audience. Jiraiya was watching through his spyglass as he could feel the power from that distance. 'That's it my apprentice. Well done!' thought the white haired sanin.

Beside him was ANBU Cat who was a powerful sensor. She'd seen the whirlwind in the sky and was investigating what the source of the power was when she stumbled upon Jiraiya. Now Cat was watching Naruto through binoculars. "Jiraiya-sama, what kind of a jutsu is Uzumaki using? It feels like wind but it's a lot denser and much more massive."

Jiraiya grinned and said, "That, my dear Cat; is the little known Typhoon Release. I trust you can keep this little tidbit to yourself?"

"I thought it was extinct." she thought aloud. "I heard that power could level villages when completed."

Jiraiya nodded. "Naruto is just beginning to tap his potential. Mark my words; he'll be unbelievable once he's mastered it…"

POSTSCRIPT:

This is the first revised chapter. I decided to update things to reflect the changes in the more recent seasons of RWBY. Those who are familiar with the original version will note that the entire Snow Country Arc was removed and the chapters changed to reflect that. This eliminates the whole Ino/Weiss merger which was very problematical to write (to say the least). I may totally redo the Snow Country Arc at a later time. See you next time. Blue out. 01/12/21

Updated 4/7/22
