86. Tale of Naruto Skywalker

Hello all Storm here with a new story! Not much to say other than hope you enjoy the story. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

The Sith are gone! With the death of Darth Wredd, the last of the Sith Order, at the hands of Ania Solo, the Sith presence within the galaxy have long since vanished. With their ancient enemies finally vanquished, the Jedi Order have dedicated themselves to protecting peace in the galaxy.

However, with the advancing of technology, it soon gave rise to intergalactic travel, paving the way for many new superpowers to rise in the greater universe. With this discovery, the Jedi Order have begun spreading themselves to thin, in order to keep watch on the far large universe. But as time passed, the Jedi's mission of keeping peace soon faded away, as threats against the universe began fading as well.

It wasn't long until the Jedi Order dissolved away, the universe no longer needing keepers of the peace. The Era of the Jedi and Sith have now since passed and joining them was the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, Fel Empire, and many more groups who have aide both Jedi and Sith throughout time.

As more time passed the Jedi and the Sith soon faded from people's memories, until they were passed off as mere Myths and Legends. But now after millennia have passed, the Universe shall once again see the return of the Jedi Order, and the rise of a New Skywalker…

Planet Earth, or at least one version of Earth, in the universe. This particular Earth was home to the Elemental Nations, a land filled with Hidden Villages, Ninja, and Chakra. The Elemental Nations possess a long and bloody history, having gone through three Great Ninja Wars and the Clan Wars.

But right now, our focus is on the Valley of the End, the site of the final battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. With another battle currently taking place, a battle between former friends and teammates, Naruto Uzumaki and Satsuki Uchiha.

The reason the two were fighting was because Satsuki had deserted their home village, Konoha, in order to join the rogue Sannin Orochimaru to gain the power to kill her brother Itachi. While Naruto had been part of the retrieval team sent to bring Satsuki back, with the rest of members staying behind to fight the Sound Four, the elite bodyguards of Orochimaru.

Naruto had managed to catch up to Satsuki at the Valley of the End and tried convincing her to come back. Only for the Uchiha to refuse, leading to them fighting. Though Naruto had been holding back, not wanting to actually injure Satsuki. While Satsuki didn't feel the same, at least not to the same extent as Naruto since she used everything in her arsenal to incapacitate him. Even going as far as to using the Chidori, to strike an area that wasn't vital, but will take him down long enough for her to leave.

Thanks to what she saw of his healing factor, Satsuki knew that she wouldn't have to worry about him dying from either the blood loss, or the blow itself.

This lead to Naruto to use the Kyūbi's Chakra, with Satsuki also using her Curse Marks power as well to keep with Naruto's increase in power. However, the fight continued to escalate from there when Naruto became covered a Tailed Beast Cloak with a single tail behind him.

In response to this, Satsuki entered the Second Stage of her Curse Seal, turning her black hair snow white and grow down to her waist, her skin turning deathly pale, black feathered wings sprouting from her back, and her sclera turned black.

This once again evened the odds between them, only for Naruto to gain the upper hand as a second tail soon joined the first, granting him more power, but also making him less in control of himself.

The moment she saw the second tail appear, Satsuki cursed, knowing she couldn't let this go on any longer and needed to end this quickly. Otherwise, she'll be at risk of actually dying the longer Naruto's like that.

'I still have that.' Satsuki thought, remembering what the Sound Four gave her before putting her in that coffin, something from Orochimaru.

She didn't know what it was, just that it was to be used against Naruto, in the event Konoha sent Ninja to bring her back. With Orochimaru having anticipated that Tsunade would send Naruto, which would be the perfect opportunity for the Snake Sannin to not only get Satsuki, but deal with a potential thorn in his side, as well.

Not that Satsuki was aware of this, just that the item would take care of Naruto.

With that in mind, Satsuki pulled out several Smoke Bombs and threw them at Naruto. Who made to knock them aside, only for them to explode, releasing green/purple smoke around him.

'Alright, that supposed to be strong enough to take him out. Now I can finally-' Satsuki thought, relaxing, only to tense up when she heard Naruto start screaming in agony.

Looking, Satsuki's eyes widened, when she saw that Naruto was no longer covered in that foxlike cloak, instead he was now rolling on the ground, screaming in complete pain and agony.

What Satsuki didn't know, was that the smoke was in fact a poison Orochimaru created solely to be used on Naruto. Its purpose wasn't to poison Naruto himself, but turn his Chakra and the Kyūbi's Chakra into the real poison, that would then attack the Uzumaki's Tenketsu, damaging them beyond even Tsunade's ability to repair.

Afterwards, if he somehow survived his Tenketsu being destroyed, then the rest of his Chakra Network would be destroyed as well. Ensuring that either Naruto would die from the strain of losing his Chakra, or no longer be able to use it. Making it so Naruto wouldn't be able to interfere in his plans, ever again.

*Mindscape*

Meanwhile, within Naruto's mindscape, the Kyūbi was panicking as it watched its prison shake and crumbled around it.

'No, no, no, NO! Damn that snake, damn the Uchiha!' Kyūbi thought, cursing those two for what was happening, knowing thanks to that poison Naruto's Chakra Network will soon be destroyed, something that will result in the boy's death

While dragging it down with him!

What makes it even worse, was the due to that bastard Yondaime sealing its Yin Half inside himself and took it into the Shinigami's stomach with him. And because of that Kyūbi won't even be able to reform after Naruto's death, it will be permanently dead!

'Damn you boy, for not just killing the Uchiha!' Thought Kyūbi as it could nothing but wait for the end now.

*Real World*

Back outside, Naruto's screaming had finally stopped, with him having lost consciousness from the pain.

Satsuki could only look on with wide eyes, before slowly walking over to Naruto's body. Once close enough, Satsuki fell to her knees as she watched the last ounce of Naruto's Chakra vanish within him.

'No…I didn't want this…I didn't want him dead!' Satsuki thought as a tear fell from her eye, believing that Naruto was now dead, as she couldn't sense or see any Chakra in him, anymore.

Catching a glimpse of her reflection in his headband, Satsuki saw her Sharingan had evolved, changing from the normal three tomoes to three intersecting ellipses.

'Mangekyō Sharingan.' Satsuki thought in despair, upon seeing her new eyes.

"Why…Why did you have to be so stubborn?! Why couldn't you just let me go?!" Satsuki screamed at Naruto, angry that he forced her hand and couldn't just let her go.

Falling to her knees, Satsuki looked up at the sky, thankful when it started raining. The rain hiding her tears at the fact she killed the last person she cared about.

"Are you happy Itachi?! I killed my best friend, just like you wanted! I have the same eyes as you!" Satsuki shouted to the heavens, before standing up and turning to towards Otogakure.

"Now I'll use them to kill you. You, Orochimaru, and Kabuto." Satsuki swore, her desire to kill Itachi being stronger than ever, refusing to let Naruto's death be in vain.

And when she gets her chance, she's going to kill Orochimaru and Kabuto as well, for making that poison.

*Later*

Not long after Satsuki had left the Valley of the End, Kakashi arrived with his Ninken Pakkun arrived, only to be horrified when they saw Naruto lying on the ground, unmoving.

"Naruto!" Kakashi exclaimed in worry, before running over to his student and tried waking him up.

"Kakashi, he doesn't have any Chakra, you know what that means." Pakkun said sadly, though Kakashi refused to believe that, not wanting to lose anyone.

'Come on, there has to be something!' Thought Kakashi, revealing his Sharingan to see if Naruto had any Chakra, any at all, inside him.

Only to see that Naruto really didn't have any Chakra, not his own or the Kyūbi's. Knowing what this meant, Kakashi fell back and sat on the ground, grabbing his head to mourn yet another person he's gotten killed and failed to save.

'Why can't I ever be fast enough?!' Thought Kakashi, knowing he's failed every time to arrive in time he tried to save the people he cares about, and now he just has another person he failed.

Pakkun sat beside his summoner lowering his head, upset at his own failure and inability to do anything. Though suddenly, the Ninken perked up when he heard something.

Searching for the sound, Pakkun soon looked at Naruto and his eyes widened, before moving over to the blondes face to listen.

"What is it Pakkun?" Kakashi asked.

"He's breathing! The kids still breathing!" Said Pakkun shocked, with Kakashi being shocked as well, but looked and saw that Naruto was indeed breathing, however it was faint, very faint.

'There's still time!' Kakashi thought, as he quickly picked Naruto up and began running back towards the village to get him to Tsunade.

"How is he still alive? He doesn't have any Chakra inside him anymore, by all rights, he should be dead." Pakkun said, since while it was a relief Naruto was somehow still alive, it didn't make any sense.

"I don't know, Pakkun. We can worry about that later, for now we have to get Naruto back to Tsunade-sama." Replied Kakashi.

Though he was curious as well, as to how Naruto was still alive, he knew it was more important that they get him back to Konoha before he really does die.

Nodding in agreement, Kakashi and Pakkun kept running back to the village, hoping they made it on time.

*Later*

After arriving back at Konoha, Kakashi had rushed Naruto to the hospital, where Tsunade had already been helping heal the other members of the retrieval team. But after seeing the condition Naruto was in, along with the fact she couldn't sense any Chakra in him, Tsunade immediately took him to the emergency room to try and save his life.

That had been nearly three hours ago, with Kakashi, Jiraiya, and now the renamed Konoha Eleven, minus the ones who were still in surgery themselves, were waiting outside for news. Their sensei's were also present, offering moral support to their students, though they were also worried about their students conditions, as well.

Finally, Tsunade exited the emergency room, getting everyone's attention.

"How's Naruto?" Kakashi asked, hoping he wouldn't have to bury his student.

"He's alive, you're lucky you got him here when you did, a minute later and Naruto would likely be dead. But, while I was able to save his life, Naruto will never be able to use Chakra again." Tsunade said, with everyone relieved to hear he was alive, but worried at how he'll react that he can't use Chakra anymore.

"Even if Naruto can't use Ninjutsu anymore, he can still become a fantastic Shinobi with Taijutsu! Just like Lee and my father!" Gai said, knowing that Naruto could still be a Ninja without Ninjutsu, only for Tsunade to shake her head.

"Gai, that can't happen. Naruto doesn't have any Chakra anymore, not a single ounce in him. His Tenketsu have been destroyed to the point they don't even exist. I even had Jiraiya check to see if it was somehow ripped out of him into a seal, but there was no seal on him." Tsunade said, with the Jōnin understanding the hidden meaning behind her words.

The Kyūbi was gone.

"She's right, I didn't find any seal or any Chakra, foreign or otherwise. It's like he never even had it, to begin with." Jiraiya confirmed solemnly, much to everyone's horror, with Sakura, Hinata, and Shikamaru taking it the worst.

'This is my fault, because I made Naruto promise to bring Satsuki back, he can't be a Ninja anymore!' Sakura thought, believing that Naruto only tried his hardest to bring Satsuki back, because of the promise she forced him to make.

'Na-Naruto-kun…' Hinata thought sadly at how her crush will take the news of his Chakra being gone.

'Damn it, if only I made a better plan, tried getting more members for the team, anything, this wouldn't have happened.' Thought Shikamaru, blaming himself for not creating a better plan as team leader, or getting more members to help them.

And because of that, Neji and Chōji almost died, and now Naruto's lost his Ninja Career and dream to be Hokage.

"You're all dismissed to go…do whatever." Tsunade said, as she looked down while returning to her office to take Naruto off the Shinobi Roster.

Everyone nodded, before leaving the hospital in solemn spirits.

*Timeskip-Three Weeks*

When Naruto first woke up, he groaned in pain as his entire body felt sore, feeling as if he was thrown through a mountain.

'Why does everything hurt? I should have healed by now?' Naruto wondered, knowing he would at most need a few hours to heal from any injuries, and yet he still feels pain coursing through his body.

Though Naruto's attention then turned to Jiraiya when he spotted him in the room.

"Pervy Sage! What're you doing here?" Naruto asked, glad to see a familiar face, but was confused and curious about the downcast expression on Jiraiya's face.

"Naruto, there's really no easy way to say this. But your Chakra is gone, all of it, yours and the Kyūbi's, you don't have Chakra anymore." Jiraiya said bluntly, knowing it'd be best to just get it over with, than delay the inevitable.

Naruto's eyes widened in shock at hearing this, only to start laughing.

"HAHAHA! Ah, very funny Pervy Sage, you almost had me there." Said Naruto, thinking that Jiraiya was just trying to trick him, before looking at the door to see Tsunade walking in.

"He's telling the truth Naruto. Your Chakra is really gone, and so is the Kyūbi." Tsunade said sadly.

Naruto looked between the two in shock, waiting and hoping for them to suddenly lose their downcast expressions and start laughing. But they never did.

"Come on, it's not funny anymore." Naruto said, while shaking his head and mentally begging that this was just some messed up joke, they were pulling.

However it didn't take long for Naruto to realize, it wasn't a joke, and no one was laughing.

'Hey fox come on say something, aren't gonna you insult me for losing? Threaten to kill me? Something, anything!' Naruto thought, pleadingly to get some response, only to be met with silence and realize he could no longer sense the Kyūbi inside him.

"Naruto-"

"Can you just, leave me alone right now?" Naruto said, while lowering his head.

Jiraiya and Tsunade nodded sadly, which only increased when they saw that Naruto started crying, before they left the room.

Outside the room, they saw Kakashi leaning against the wall.

"You should be there too, he's your student and will need all the help he can get." Jiraiya said to Kakashi, with the Jōnin shaking his head.

"It won't make a difference or change anything. If anything, I'd only make things worse. I wasn't there for him growing up, preferring to avoid everyone after Minato-sensei and Kushina died. And even when I became his sensei, I was a terrible one, the only thing I even taught Naruto was Tree Walking. While I taught Satsuki how to use the Chidori, which I'm sure she used on Naruto. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he hated me." Kakashi said, knowing he failed not just Naruto, but his parents as well, with Jiraiya putting a hand on the Copy Ninja's shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself, if anything, I'm more responsible than you are. I was his godfather but chose to instead satisfy my own vices to dull the pain from Minato dying. I didn't even acknowledge him for who he was, when we first met, just some brat that wouldn't leave me alone until I trained him." Said Jiraiya, knowing he was still the same failure he was back in the Academy, only much worse.

"My own grandmother was an Uzumaki and taught me to always look out for each other, but here I am, having not once bothered to check on my own cousin. Minato had even sent me a message, asking me to be the one to help Kushina deliver her baby. But I didn't even bother responding, and just kept drinking and gambling. Now they're both dead, their son is an orphan, and now he can't be a Ninja anymore." Tsunade said, knowing between the three of them, she's the most guilty.

"We're all pathetic cowards. And because of that, Naruto's the one who ended up paying the price." Jiraiya stated, knowing all three of them were at fault for what's happened.

Nodding at his words, the three soon left the hospital to wallow in their self-pity, the only thing they're good at anymore.

*Timeskip-Five Days*

Naruto exited the hospital with his head hung low, having been finally allowed to leave. Normally, Naruto would have tried escaping the hospital at the first opportunity, but with the news of losing his Chakra, it took away any desire to try and runaway.

Rather than going home, Naruto decided to simply walk around the village to distract himself.

As he walked, Naruto saw how the villagers either look at him in pity or glared at him, like he was an abomination. That didn't surprise Naruto, since by all rights he shouldn't be alive.

A darker part of him wasn't really all that surprised, to be honest. If it's not the Kyūbi, then the villagers would just find another reason to hate his existence.

Eventually, Naruto came to Ichiraku's and went inside, not reacting when he was suddenly embraced by a tearful Ayame, with Teuchi and Iruka looking at him in sympathy.

"Hey Naruto, we uh, we heard what happened and if there's anything you need…" Teuchi said upon seeing Naruto just looking straight ahead, dully.

"We're here if you need anything, Naruto." Iruka said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Iruka hadn't been at the hospital with the others, as he had been out on a B-Rank mission, when Naruto was first brought back to the village. He had only come back a few days ago and only recently heard what happened, with the Chūnin not being sure how to approach Naruto.

"Thanks." Muttered Naruto, before Ayame let go and guided him to a seat.

"Come on, sit down and we'll get you a few bowls of ramen. On the house." Ayame said, wanting to do something to cheer him up, with Teuchi nodding.

Naruto simply nodded without saying a word.

"Naruto, I know this is a…tough time, but if you want to talk about or just need a shoulder, I'm here." Iruka said, while patting Naruto on the shoulder, with the blonde simply nodding mutely again.

It wasn't long, until Naruto had three bowls of ramen in front of him, with Iruka, Teuchi, and Ayame watching him in concern. Looking at the ramen, and Naruto for once didn't feel like having any, before getting off the stool.

"Thanks for the ramen, but I'm not really hungry or in the mood to talk, right now. Maybe later, but right now I'm just…numb." Naruto said, exiting the stand, with three looking at him sadly.

Once Naruto left, Ayame looked between her father and Iruka.

"Tou-san, Iruka, is Naruto going to be alright?" Ayame asked, worried for the blonde that she saw as a little brother.

"I don't know Ayame, I really don't." Teuchi replied.

"Naruto's just lost his entire Ninja career and his dream of becoming Hokage, something that meant everything to Naruto. And now it's gone, with no hope of ever getting it back. Right now, I don't know if Naruto will ever recover, or be the same again. I can only hope he'll eventually get better and that he doesn't do anything stupid, as he is right now." Iruka said, worried that Naruto might do something dangerous with how depressed he was.

*With Naruto*

Meanwhile, Naruto had soon reached a bridge, one he idly noted was the same one Kakashi gave them the Chūnin Exam forms on.

"Naruto." Sakura said, having seen Naruto and went up to him, with Naruto not acknowledging his, he guessed, ex-teammate and continued looking down at the river.

Seeing this, Sakura's eye filled with tears before walking up and hugging Naruto.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! If I hadn't made you make that stupid promise, this wouldn't have happened!" Sakura cried as tears of sadness, anger, and self-loathing fell from her eyes.

Sadness at what happened to Naruto, anger at Orochimaru and Satsuki for what they took from him, and self-loathing that it was her promise that caused this.

Finally looking at her, Naruto slowly returned the hug.

"It's not your fault Sakura. Even if I didn't make that promise, I still would have done everything I could to bring Satsuki back, no matter what." Naruto said, knowing if Sakura hadn't asked him to bring Satsuki back, he still wouldn't have stopped until he did.

Soon, Naruto broke the hug and continued on his way, waving to his now ex-teammate.

Eventually, Naruto stopped walking and found he had arrived at Training Ground Seven, apparently having walked here in auto-pilot.

Looking around the Training Ground, Naruto remembered all the times he spent here, being tied to the post after the Bell Test, Kakashi telling them his motto, training, and sparring, going on missions.

But as the memories came flooding back, Naruto's numbness soon turned into anger. Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, Naruto soon let out an anger-filled shout, only for something unexpected to happen.

A powerful invisible blast erupted out of Naruto's body, being sent out in every direction, and tore up the Training Ground. Dirt, rocks, trees, bushes, and even the three posts. All of it had been sent flying everywhere, while Naruto stood in a crater at the very center of the blast.

Panting, Naruto looked around in shock, and even horror, at what he just.

"What's going on?" Naruto said, before looking at his shaking hands.

"You need to be careful, if you let your anger consume you, it'll lead you down a dangerous path." Someone said, making Naruto tense up and look to the source of the voice, his eyes widening at what he saw.

Three people standing side-by-side, two looking to be young adults, in their twenties, and the third being an adult man. Seeing similar features between the three, Naruto guessed the man was their father, while the younger two were siblings, perhaps twins.

But what freaked Naruto out, was the fact they were completely transparent and had a blue sheen over their bodies.

"Wh-who a-a-ar-are yo-yo-you?" Naruto asked fearfully since it's obvious they were ghosts.

"My name is Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order." Anakin introduced, while standing the left.

"My name is Leia Organa-Solo, a Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order." Said Leia, while standing to the right.

"My name is Luke Skywalker, Grandmaster of the New Jedi Order. And we, Naruto Uzumaki, are your ancestors." Luke said, standing between his father and sister, with Naruto looking at three in complete shock now.

"Wh-what? You're my…ancestors? But how are you here? How can I see you?" Naruto asked, confused, and shocked by everything that's happened in the past few minutes.

"It's a very long story, all of it starting on the planet Tatooine, where a boy and girl met…" Luke started, before the three Force Ghosts began telling Naruto their story.

Starting from when Anakin first met Padme Amidala, his future wife and only woman he ever loved, to how he became a Jedi and fought in the Clone Wars. To his transformation into the Sith Lord, Darth Vader, in effort to save his wife from dying in childbirth, only to end up being the cause, and the horrible atrocities he committed, while his children were hidden away and raised in secret.

Luke and Leia then took over telling them of their history, when they first met on the Death Star to joining the Rebellion and fighting against the Empire, of Luke learn who his father was and refusing to give up on him. How in the end, he managed to reach Anakin Skywalker within Darth Vader and together they defeated the Emperor and freed the galaxy.

They then told Naruto the rest of their lives and of their children and descendants, all the way up to when the Jedi, Sith, and the Force became myths and legends.

"But despite this, the Force still exists within all of us, and sometimes there are those that can tap into it. With such beings like the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who didn't know of the Force and simply believed they had powers unique to themselves. It lead to them traveling to different planets and harvesting the Shinju trees on them, granting them Chakra. However, Chakra isn't a natural form of energy, putting it into conflict with the Force. So, when an Ōtsutsuki gained Chakra, they lost the ability to use the Force, like the people of this planet." Anakin explained.

"It's why you survived the loss of your Chakra and the Kyūbi, because losing it reestablished your connection to the Force. And allowed us to finally contact you." Said Leia, with Naruto looking at them in shock, before looking around at the destruction he caused.

"And this…Force, it caused this? From my anger?" Naruto asked, with the three Force Ghosts nodding.

"Yes. You've taken your first step into a larger world." Said Luke, smiling as he quoted his first Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi before turning serious.

"But if you aren't careful, you can be corrupted by the Dark Side of the Force. Especially with the negative emotions you're feeling right now." Warned Luke, knowing if Naruto wasn't careful, he could end up becoming like many of their family who fell to the Dark Side.

This made Naruto gulp fearfully, having learned about the Skywalkers who became Sith, and what they did.

"But you don't have to fall to the Darkness, like I have. We can teach you to use the Force, to control your abilities. And once your training is complete, if you desire, you can rebuild the Jedi Order as well." Anakin said, knowing the fear Naruto felt and wanted to help make sure it didn't control him, like how Anakin let his fear control him.

This shocked and awed Naruto, that these three, his ancestors, were willing to teach him how to use the Force. Thinking it over, Naruto knew he didn't really have a lot of options, as it was either learn how to use the Force or remain being a civilian the rest of his life.

"Alright, I'll accept your training…Masters." Naruto said, with the three smiling and nodding.

"Very well. But before we begin, you will have to leave Konoha, as you'll be training to use something no one in the Elemental Nations has seen before. Something that certain people would try to use and exploit." Luke said, knowing if the rest of the Elemental Nations found out about the Force, it would cause anarchy and destruction.

Hundreds, if not thousands of people, destroying their own Chakra Networks. In hope that they might survive, and gain access to the Force, as well.

This made Naruto hesitate, torn between wanting to be trained and not wanting to leave his home. Ultimately though, he nodded, knowing he didn't really have a purpose in Konoha, anymore. At least this way, he would still have a purpose or at least find a new one.

*Timeskip-One Day*

After meeting Anakin, Luke, and Leia, Naruto had returned to his apartment to start packing before meeting Tsunade and asking permission to leave Konoha. He didn't tell her the real reason, since he didn't want to risk someone overhearing them, or what he was doing getting out. Instead, he told her that he simply wanted some time to himself, away from everyone and everything that brought up painful memories.

Not wanting to bring Naruto more pain, Tsunade had agreed to let Naruto leave Konoha for however long, he needed.

Now Naruto stood at the gates, exchanging farewells with everyone, who gave him some gifts for his trip. Nothing Ninja related, since he can't use Chakra anymore, but some things that'll be useful on his travels. At least, until he finds a stable place to settle down.

"I guess this belongs to you again." Naruto said, holding out the Shodaime's necklace for Tsunade to take back, only for the woman to shake her head.

"Keep it. Whether you're a Ninja or not, you won it fair and square, so it's yours to keep." Said Tsunade, taking it and putting back around Naruto's neck.

Nodding, Naruto looked at the others, all of them having tears in their eyes as they said goodbye to their friend.

"Well, see ya around, and good luck. I promise to come back and visit, someday." Said Naruto, before turning around and walking out the gates, waving back at them all.

Everyone waved, until Naruto was out of sight, with everyone soon dispersing afterwards, until only Jiraiya and Tsunade were left.

"Do you think we did the right thing? Letting him leave like that?" Tsunade asked, as while Naruto was no longer a Ninja or a Jinchūriki, he was now defenseless against any potential threats.

"We couldn't force him to stay Tsunade, he's not a Ninja anymore and now he has to find a new dream, a new purpose. If he stayed in Konoha, he'd just be reminded of everything he could have had, but now is impossible to get." Said Jiraiya, with Tsunade nodding in agreement at his words, knowing he was right, Naruto needed to find a new purpose for himself.

With that the two Sannin muttered goodbyes, before taking their leave, as well.

So, what did you think, good. Yep we're seeing Naruto coming from a galaxy far, far away and being descended from the Skywalker family, meeting the spirits of his ancestors after he loses not only his Chakra but the Kyūbi as well. Leading to Naruto accepting to be trained them in the ways of the Force and become a Jedi, leading to him also leaving Konoha to begin his training and find his new purpose. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out

Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Yep two chapters posted at once, and here we'll be seeing the results of Naruto's training under his ancestors along with him leaving the Elemental Nations and the first planet he'll travel to. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

Two and a half years passed, since Naruto had lost not just his Chakra, but the Kyūbi as well. But while he may have lost his Chakra, he gained something much greater, with the loss of his Chakra reestablishing his connection to the Force.

This also allowed Naruto to meet his ancestors, Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa-Solo, who revealed to him their own history and that of their descendants'. Afterwards, they had then offered to train Naruto to use the Force and prevent him falling to the Dark Side, like many Skywalkers before him.

Naruto accepted the training and had left Konoha the next day, ready to begin his training and find a new purpose.

Currently, Naruto was on the islands of Uzushiogakure, where he had gone to train in exile.

During his nearly three years of training, Naruto had gotten a good handle of the basic and intermediate Force-based abilities, along with his masters training him in all seven forms of lightsaber combat. Though he had a preference for Djem So and Vaapad.

Naruto had learned everything he could from Anakin, Luke, and Leia, but it wasn't just them he trained under. The former Jinchūriki had also met and trained under the Force Ghosts of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi Master of both Anakin and Luke, and Yoda, Luke's second Jedi Master. It was from Yoda that Naruto learned Vaapad, the Jedi Grand Master having learned the mechanics from Mace Windu, the creator of Vaapad, after seeing that Naruto had a natural affinity for the Dark Side.

Thankfully, an affinity he was able to control and not be controlled by.

"Naruto." Luke said.

Naruto opened his eyes as he came out of his meditation, and saw Luke standing in front of him.

"Yes Master?" Naruto asked as he got up, with Luke smiling at him.

"You've come a long way in your training, both in the Force and wielding a lightsaber. It's with that I'm proud to say you're training under us, is complete. Now it's time for you to go out and travel, to gain experience and find a new path to walk. And here, consider this a graduation gift from all of us." Said Luke, handing Naruto a Holocron that he and the other Force Ghosts had made, containing all their knowledge.

Naruto looked at him surprised, before smiling and gave a short bow, while taking the Holocron.

"Thank you Master, for everything you and the others have done for me. And I promise, the next time we meet, I will have proven myself worthy to become a Jedi Knight." Naruto said, with Luke nodding at his words, having no doubt that Naruto will prove himself.

"We've passed all that we know onto you. A thousand generations live in you now. Farewell Naruto." Said Luke as he vanished before Naruto's eyes.

Looking at the spot where Luke once stood, Naruto then picked up his cloak and lightsaber.

He's long since stopped wearing the bright orange jumpsuit, now Naruto was wearing a black gi, a dark orange undershirt, and a black hooded robe over it. Around his waist was a belt that held his lightsaber, blaster, and some other equipment that he may need.

During his two and half years away, Naruto hadn't just been training under his Masters, but also traveling with the Force guiding him. Where he went were to various hidden locations throughout the Elemental Nations, these locations being the sites of destroyed and crashed ships. Thankfully, they were in locations that perfectly hid them, unless one knew where to look for them.

And thanks to the Force, Naruto was able to find them with no trouble. With him having used the technology on the ships that he could salvage or repair to build his lightsaber, his blaster, some of his other equipment, and even finding enough to build his own ship.

Naruto had modelled his ship after the Millennium Falcon, with the addition of being capable of inter-galactic travel. Along with being big enough to carry a crew, for whenever Naruto finds anyone to recruit.

Heading for his ship, Naruto entered it and placed the Holocron somewhere safe, and only he would know to look. Just in case someone managed to find and break into the ship, he didn't want the Holocron to be stolen or destroyed.

Entering the cockpit and sitting in the pilot's seat, Naruto turned the engines on before flying off into upper orbit.

'Where do I go first?' Naruto thought, closing his eyes and allowing the Force to show him his first destination.

For a few moments, the only thing Naruto could hear were the ships engines before he immediately opened his eyes. Knowing what his first destination will be, Naruto activated the ships lightspeed before it shot off through space, the stars becoming little more than trails of light around him.

After a few moments, the ship came out of lightspeed, floating above a planet, one that had a shattered moon orbiting it.

'I wonder what caused that.' Thought Naruto, since it looked like something blew a hole into the moon.

Figuring he may be able to find answers on the planet, Naruto took the ship down to one of the four landmasses on the surface, landing in a large forest.

Exiting his ship, Naruto gazed around the forest, frowning as he expanded his senses.

'The energy of this planet is strange.' Naruto thought, sensing that the planet and its inhabitants were connected to the Force, but still felt something off about it.

Before Naruto could contemplate this further, he heard several growls, pulling him back to his current position and saw he was surrounded by six black creatures that vaguely resembled wolves. The creatures had jet-black fur with bone plating that red designs, yellow red-rimmed eyes that left behind red trails.

Looking at the creatures, Naruto was both interested and worried, when he sensed that they were made from the Dark Side. Not just being connected to it, but as if they were physically made from it.

While Naruto wanted to find out more about these creatures, he could see they weren't friendly and unclipped his lightsaber and activated it, with the bluish-green blade emerging.

Thankfully, the crystal-gem on the Shodaime's Necklace was in fact a Kyber Crystals. A type of stone, mineral, or crystal, that can be used to power a Lightsaber, and forms its blade. This also explained why the necklace worked so well, with the Mokuton. As despite the incompatibility between Chakra and the Force, the Mokuton's unique ties to nature allowed the crystal-gem to work somewhat with the Mokuton, rather than against it.

Just then, two of the creatures lunged at him, with Naruto jumping and flipping over them, slicing them in half with his saber. Another two then charged the blonde, only to be met with blaster bolts in their heads.

As for the last two, Naruto grabbed hold of them with the Force and pulled them towards him, cutting them down when they were close enough.

Deactivating his lightsaber, Naruto tilted his head with a frown, when he saw the creatures' bodies dissolve into smoke.

'Things are just getting stranger and stranger, now.' Naruto thought.

"That was quite impressive, young man." Someone said, getting Naruto's attention.

Looking, he saw a man and a woman standing a couple feet away from him.

The man had tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes, a light complexion, and sharp facial features. His attire consisted of shaded glass spectacles, a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck, and unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt, black trouser shoes, and long, dark-green pants. He also carried a cane, but Naruto felt he could walk just fine without.

The woman has very light-blonde hair, tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar. She was wearing a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black-brown stockings. She wears black boots with bronze heels and a cape that is purple inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back. Above this line of beads appears an emblem of a tiara, that is her personal symbol.

Looking at the two strangers, Naruto glanced at his ship.

"I'm guessing you saw my ship landing." Naruto stated, figuring these two came to investigate a ship coming from the sky, and landing in a forest.

"Yes, given it's not every day a ship not of this world shows up. We also saw you handle those Grimm quite easily, impressive for one as young as you." The man said, with Naruto nodding, slowly still wary of who these two are and if they were potential enemies.

As if reading his mind, the man spoke again.

"We have no desire to fight young man, we would simply wish to talk. If you would come with us, I'm sure we can help each other." Said the man.

"And where exactly would we be going?" Naruto questioned.

"Beacon Academy." The man answered.

*Later*

Naruto had decided to follow the two strangers, whom he learned were Professor Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, and Glynda Goodwitch, the Combat Instructor.

He had opted to fly them to Beacon, after learning where it was located, and flew his ship there, while landing it in a hidden location. Where hopefully no one could accidently stumble upon it, with Naruto making a mental note to add a cloaking shield to it.

Now the three were sitting in Ozpin's office, with Naruto and Ozpin sitting across from each other and Goodwitch standing beside Ozpin.

"So, what world is this?" Naruto asked, after a few moments of silence.

"This is the world of Remnant, home to the Four Kingdoms of Vale, Vacuo, Atlas, and Mistral, with your ship having landed in the Kingdom of Vale, specifically in the Emerald Forest. Remnant is home to three dominant species, humans, Faunus which are humans with unique animal features, and the Creatures of Grimm, which you have already encountered." Ozpin explained.

"And what about the history of this planet?" Questioned Naruto, wanting to know everything he can about Remnant and its history to better understand it.

"That is a rather long story…" Said Ozpin, before he began telling Naruto the history of Remnant, along with about Dust, the Great War, the Faunus Rights Revolution, and the founding of the Huntsmen Academies.

The entire time Naruto nodded along, while also feeling the Force tell him that Ozpin was withholding some information as well. Along with sensing something odd about Ozpin, as if he had dozens, if not hundreds, of different signatures all merged together inside him.

"Okay, that's all very interesting, now why don't you tell me what you're keeping to yourself. And don't bother lying, I'll know if you are. Not to mention the darkness I felt in those Grimm, and your own energy feels as if you're not just a single person. Tell me if I'm getting warm." Naruto said, with Ozpin and Goodwitch looking at him with wide eyes, before the Headmaster sighed, knowing he was put into a corner.

"Very well. The truth is that I am one in a long line of reincarnations, dating back to the very beginning of when humanity was created by the Brother Gods, the God of Light and the God of Darkness. Together the gods created humanity, with the God of Darkness having also been the one to create the Grimm. The reason I can reincarnate is because of the gods, I was given the mission of destroying a dark force who now leads the Grimm and seeks to destroy all of Remnant, her name is Salem. We've been at war with each other for centuries, with me forming a group to help combat Salem and her forces." Ozpin explained.

This only intrigued Naruto further, particularly these Brother Gods and the power they possessed to create an entire world and the humans in it.

'Could they be like the Father, the Son, the Daughter and Abeloth?' Naruto wondered, having learned of how Anakin and Obi-Wan met the former three, with Anakin's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano.

While Luke told him of the war against the immortal Eldritch Abomination, who was once the human surrogate mother for the Son and the Daughter. Who helped the Father maintain peace between the Son and the Daughter, until her mortality had started catching up to her. Pushing the woman to drink from the Font of Power and bath in the Pool of Knowledge, twisting her into the entity that eventually became known as Abeloth. Having been unintentionally reawakened, when Luke's nephew, Jacen Solo, had fallen to the Dark Side and became Darth Caedus, in his attempt to change the future.

If they were anything like them, then Naruto isn't surprised that these brothers were capable of performing such a feat.

"So, young man, what do you intend to do now?" Ozpin questioned, with Naruto shrugging.

"I'm not sure specifically." Replied Naruto, just knowing that he wouldn't be leaving Remnant anytime soon, not with a threat like Salem out there.

"Well if you wish, you could join Beacon Academy as a student and train to become a Huntsman." Offered Ozpin, with Goodwitch looking at him in surprise.

"Professor Ozpin, you can't be serious?! Not only does he not have the papers needed to join, along with technically not existing here, but he's not old enough to enroll in Beacon." Said Goodwitch.

"I don't believe age is truly a concern Glynda, given I've already invited young Ms. Rose, who he appears to be around the same age as. And his lack of papers can be easily fixed as well." Ozpin replied, before looking back at Naruto for his answer.

"Alright, I'll join Beacon." Agreed Naruto, with Ozpin being pleased to hear this.

"Very well, I'll have your papers drawn up and have you enrolled as a late entry. If you'd like, I can also have your Aura unlocked." Ozpin offered, only for Naruto to shake his head.

"That's not necessary." Said Naruto, before waving his hand, and to Ozpin and Goodwitch's shock several objects began floating around the office.

'This, this isn't a Semblance or magic. How is he doing this?' Ozpin thought, intrigued at Naruto's ability, before shaking off his shock, while Naruto returned the objects to their previous positions.

"Alright. Now, what is your name?" Ozpin asked, having neglected to ask earlier.

"My name is Naruto, Naruto Skywalker." Introduced Naruto.

*Timeskip-One Day*

Naruto observed the arriving students, seeing if any of them really stuck out, with him picking out a few that showed potential.

After having his enrollment papers drawn up, Naruto had been taken to a temporary room until the next day, when all the new First Years would be arriving. The Jedi had also been thankful that Ozpin hadn't tried questioning his ability to use the Force, since Naruto didn't want to risk people finding out about the Force, especially those that would be more aligned with the Dark Side.

'I guess he also wants to earn more of my trust first, before questioning me.' Naruto thought.

Suddenly, Naruto caught sight of two girls, with one of them seeming to be yelling at the other.

The first was a fair-skinned young girl, around the same age as him, with silver eyes and black, neck-length, choppy hair that gradates to dark red at the tips. She was wearing a black long-sleeved dress with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front and around her skirt has a red trim. She also wore a pair of thick black stockings, along with black combat boots with red laces and trims around the top and red soles. With her outfit being topped off by a red hooded cloak, fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem appears as a large silver brooch and is pinned to a wide black belt slung around her hips on an angle, which also carries bullets and a pouch.

The second was a pale-skinned young woman, with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail on the right side and pinned with an icicle-shaped tiara. A crooked scar runs vertically down her left eye and face. She wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this she wears a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest. She also wears a small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings. Her boots are white, wedged heeled and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist, with a pouch attached to the back.

Naruto took note of the second girl shaking something in her hand, only to jump slightly when the first girl suddenly sneezed, triggering an explosion of fire, snowflakes, and electricity around them both.

'I guess that's that Dust stuff, Ozpin told me about.' Naruto thought, while walking over to the girls to make sure they were alright, only to frown when he heard the white-haired girl shouting at the silver-eyed one.

"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" The white-haired girl shouted, while glaring at the dual-haired one, who shrunk under her glare.

"I'm really, really sorry!" She apologized.

"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" The second girl demanded.

"Alright that's enough." Said Naruto, getting the two girls' attention.

"Stay out of this, it doesn't concern you." Said the white-haired girl.

"Well, when I see someone being yelled at for no reason, yeah it does concern me." Naruto retorted.

"No reason?! She nearly blew us both up!" Yelled the girl, while glaring at Naruto.

"Yeah, and she also apologized. But if anything, you should apologize for shaking that Dust in her face, princess." Said Naruto, not backing down from the girls anger, while the younger girl was thankful at him defending her.

"It's heiress, actually." Someone said, getting the three's attention and saw another girl approaching, while holding a bottle of Dust.

The girl is a fair-skinned young woman with amber eyes and long, wavy black hair. She wears a black buttoned vest with coattails, and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high-necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg. She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings, with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs, just below her shorts in white. On her left arm, is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose scarf is wrapped around her neck and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair. She also has a black bow tied on top of her head.

"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." She said, with Weiss smirking proudly at someone finally recognizing her.

"Finally! Some recognition!" Weiss stated.

"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces, and questionable business partners." The girl added with a small smirk, with Weiss's good mood immediately vanishing as she scowled, while Naruto looked at the new girl with a raised brow.

"Well regardless of her being an heiress or a princess, she should still know better than to shake a vial of Dust in someone's face. Even more, so because she's the heiress of one of the biggest Dust manufacturing companies. But I suppose they skipped that lesson, with her private tutors." Naruto said, while smirking at Weiss.

This made the other two girls laugh, more so the younger one, while Weiss gave Naruto a scathing glare, but didn't say anything. Knowing it was actually her fault for shaking the Dust to begin with, but she hadn't been in the best mood today and having her stuff knocked over just made her lash out.

"Okay, is everyone calm now? If so, I suggest we all head to the Auditorium before we're late." Naruto said, with the three girls nodding, before the four of them headed for the Auditorium.

"Also, I'm Naruto Skywalker." Naruto introduced.

"Hi Naruto, I'm Ruby Rose!" Replied Ruby, while smiling widely and shaking Naruto's hand.

"Hmph, Weiss Schnee." Weiss said, despite Blake's introduction, preferring to introduce herself, rather than letting someone else do it.

"Blake Hōzuki." Blake said shortly.

"Nice to meet you, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake." Naruto said, though he knew that Blake was fudging the truth a bit but decided that it wasn't anything that concerned him.

From what he felt through the Force, Blake didn't have any malicious intent, despite how she's lying about her last name. In fact, it was quite the opposite, like she was trying to atone for something.

"So…I got this thing!" Said Ruby, after a moment and pulled out her weapon, Crescent Rose.

"Is that a scythe?" Blake questioned, looking at the giant weapon in stunned amazement that someone as small as Ruby could swing it around like that.

"It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!" Ruby said proudly, while turning it into its rifle mode.

"Well, if we're showing off our weapons, This is my Multi Action Dust Rapier, Myrtenaster." Said Weiss, pulling out her rapier, with Blake sighing before pulling out her own sword.

"This is Gambol Shroud, a Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe. It can also turn into a pistol and a kusarigama. I can also use the sheathe as a cleaver to dual wield." Blake said.

Ruby gained stars in her eyes as she looked at the new weapons, before turning to Naruto.

"What about you Naruto, what's your weapon?" Ruby asked, eager to see Naruto's weapon.

In response, Naruto pulled out his blaster and lightsaber.

"This is my blaster and my lightsaber." Naruto answered, shooting a blaster bolt at a tree, and activating his saber, much to the three girls shock at seeing such weapons, never having seen or heard of one, like a lightsaber.

"That is so cool! How did you make it?! What kind of Dust do you use?! Could you use different Dust Crystals to make different blades?!" Ruby asked rapidly in excitement, eager to find out how a lightsaber works and possibly to find out how to make her own.

"Boop." Naruto said, while poking Ruby's nose.

"It's a secret." Said Naruto, grinning, while Ruby blushed and pouted.

With that, the group continued to the Auditorium, soon arriving at their destination.

So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto has trained under not just Luke, Anakin, and Leia but Obi-wan and Yoda as well, along with having built his own ship, blaster, and lightsaber. With Naruto then leaving the Elemental Nations and traveling to the world of Remnant where he encounters some Grimm along with Ozpin and Goodwitch, with Naruto being enrolled into Beacon after learning more about the planet. Finally, we see Naruto meeting three of our soon-to-be heroines before all of them head for the auditorium. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out

Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Naruto and the girls arriving at the Auditorium, with a different outcome to certain things, give Naruto, Weiss, and Blake's presence. Along with seeing Naruto meeting some of the other students as well, before moving onto the initiation and teams being formed. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

The moment Naruto, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake entered the Auditorium, they were a little surprised at just how many students there were. Not having expected there to be this many enrolling into Beacon Academy. Though Ruby soon spotted the familiar figure of her sister, Yang Xiao Long.

Yang is a fair-skinned young woman with lilac eyes and bright golden hair that fades to pale gold at the tips, with a cowlick sticking out at the top. Her attire consisted of a tan jacket that exposes her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath this, she wears a low cut, yellow crop top with her emblem on the left breast in black. She also wears a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material, reaching from hip to hip, around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. Underneath, is a long, white, asymmetrical piece of material, reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of black mini-shorts. She wears a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down, just below the knee. A gray bandanna is tied around her left knee. With an orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves to complete her outfit.

'Huh…feels like I'm looking at a shadow clone, using the Sexy Jutsu.' Naruto thought, surprised at the resemblance that Yang had with his Sexy Jutsu form, he likely would have believed they were related, if she was born on his world.

"Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!" Yang said, waving at her sister, with her smiling widely when she saw Naruto, Blake, and Weiss with her, glad that Ruby was already able to make some friends.

"Oh! Hey, there's my sister! Come on, I'll introduce you!" Said Ruby, rushing over to Yang, while the other three followed after her.

"If that's her sister, then why wasn't she with Ruby, earlier?" Weiss said, narrowing her eyes, having not seen Yang anywhere when Ruby bumped into her stuff, wondering why she wasn't present to show her sister around.

Naruto and Blake glanced at each other, before shrugging, not having an answer to that.

"How's your first day going, little sister? Did you already make some new friends?" Yang asked smiling, while Ruby gained an annoyed expression, still remembering how Yang ditched her.

"You mean since you ditched me, and I exploded?" Retorted Ruby, with the blonde girl looking at her with a raised brow.

"Yikes! Meltdown already?" Said Yang, assuming that's what Ruby meant, rather than she literally exploded.

"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice…?" Ruby trailed off, while remembering what exactly.

"Are you being sarcastic?" Yang said, while grinning, now believing her younger sister was trying to mess with her.

"I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!" Ruby ranted, while Weiss's eye twitched about being called "crabby", though she will admit that she didn't make the best first impression.

"Wait a minute!" Said Weiss, Ruby making an "Eep" sound, before jumping into Yang's arms, thinking Weiss was going to start yelling at her again, only to see the heiress instead glaring at Yang.

"Are you telling me that you bumped into my luggage, which resulted in me losing valuable Dust, because she basically left you to fend for yourself?" Weiss demanded, with Ruby looking between the two, before narrowing her own eyes at Yang as she got down.

"Yeah, that is why that happened! I exploded, because you ditched me, Yang!" Ruby said, while putting her hands on her hips.

"Are you kidding me?! I thought she was immature and too young to be here, but instead, I now see that only happened, because her own sister left her behind in a new place! What kind of older sibling are you?!" Weiss demanded as she crossed her arms, while narrowing her eyes at Yang, who laughed sheepishly.

"Uh, well…I was kinda hoping for Ruby to experience things on her own and make some friends. You know…without me helping her." Said Yang, knowing that she was the type of person, who would throw you into the ocean to teach you how to swim, and she simply wanted her sister to grow and gain new experiences on her own, without someone being there to hold her hand, all the time.

Though this would also lead her to not really thinking things through, like leaving Ruby alone, the moment they arrived at Beacon.

"Wow, sister of the year, right here." Blake deadpanned, sarcastically.

"Would you care to say a few words, for how you won this title." Added Naruto, just as sarcastically, even going as far as to use his lightsaber like a microphone.

"Alright, I get it, I messed up and should have done a better job." Yang said, now getting annoyed, since she realized that she messed up and could have gotten Ruby to open up a better way, rather than simply ditching her.

Before any of them could say anything else, everyone's attention turned towards the stage, when Ozpin began speaking.

"I'll…keep this brief. You have traveled here today, in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin said, before walking off the stage, while Goodwitch took his place.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." Goodwitch said, before walking off as well.

"Did that seem…strange to you all?" Blake asked, with the others nodding in agreement.

"He seemed kind of…off." Yang stated.

"It seemed like he was miles away." Said Weiss, feeling that while Ozpin was here, his mind was somewhere else completely different.

"Yeah, it's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby added.

'Just how long has he been alive?' Naruto wondered, now starting to see that while Ozpin may be young in body, his soul was beyond ancient and has likely seen many things, that would have broken lesser men.

Or perhaps…Ozpin was already broken, and he's simply given up on trying to put the pieces back together. Now he's just going through the motions, he's been doing for who knows how many centuries.

*Later*

Everyone had soon gathered in the ballroom, having gotten settled in their sleepwear and sleeping bags, with Naruto wearing a pair of black sweats and a black tank top.

"Hello Naruto." Said Weiss, wearing a faded blue nightgown with short sleeves and white trim, that displayed the Schnee Crest on the upper-right chest, along with her hair flowing down her back, while walking up to the whiskered blonde.

"Hello Weiss, was there something you needed?" Naruto asked, noticing how Weiss seemed to be fidgeting slightly.

"No. I wished to…apologize for my earlier attitude and dismissal of you. I was annoyed, and when Ruby bumped into my luggage. I simply snapped at her and then you when you tried intervening. So, I'm sorry." Weiss said, not used to apologizing for anything, but figured it'd be better than leaving things as they were.

"It's fine, though who you should really apologize to, is Ruby for snapping at her." Naruto said, with Weiss nodding at his words.

"I know, and I will." Replied Weiss.

"So, do you want to talk about what was annoying you, to the point that it made you snap?" Asked Naruto, with the heiress looking surprised at the question, not expecting to be asked that.

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But I've learned that it's better to talk about things, rather than keeping them bottled up. Otherwise, if it's left alone, it could have terrible consequences." Naruto said, remembering his ancestors' history, with how Anakin kept his marriage a secret from the Jedi, leading him to accept Palpatine's help of saving Padme, which paved the way to him becoming Darth Vader.

Though not without reason, given the visions he had of his mother's death, but was told to ignore them by the Jedi, which did lead to her dying in his arms. With it not helping that the Jedi at the time, had looked down on attachment and saw it as a pathway to the Dark Side. And given how members of the Jedi High Council, and the Jedi Order as a whole didn't like or trust Anakin. Even after his accomplishment in the Clone Wars.

It wouldn't be a surprise that as soon as they learned of Anakin's marriage to Padme, and that she was pregnant, they would excommunicate him from the Jedi Order. While taking their children away, once they were born, along with making sure that Anakin and Padme wouldn't be able to interact with Luke and Leia. Not wanting them to be influenced by their renegade of a father.

Though, Anakin had confessed that if he had trusted someone else with the secret of his marriage, whether it was his former Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, or even Obi-wan, then things might have turned out differently. With the former Sith Lord advising Naruto to always have someone he can trust to tell anything to and look out for those who will trust him in turn.

And while they had just met, Naruto didn't need the Force to know that Weiss was a good person but has just learned to keep it hidden behind the façade of a typical heiress.

"No, no I'm just…surprised. No one's ever really asked me that before." Weiss said, while muttering the last part, given the only one back home she could really talk to anymore was Klein, after Winter left to join the military.

Given her mother's decent into alcoholism, her father only caring about his own self-interest, while she and Whitley never got along with each other. Now here was someone, she just met, asking her what was wrong, along with clearly not caring about her family name. Given how he brushed it off, after Blake revealed who she was.

"So, what's wrong?" Naruto asked, with Weiss sitting down next to him and sighing.

"My father…he wasn't exactly happy to learn that I was attending Beacon, rather than Atlas." Answered Weiss, with Naruto nodding in understanding.

"I take it, that he's a controlling man." Stated Naruto.

"Very. He prefers having complete control over everything, including the lives of his children, and gets upset when we defy his orders. My sister Winter experienced this, she went to join the Atlesian Military and our father cut her off from the Schnee fortune, along with disinheriting her as heiress of the SDC. Then he turned all his attention onto me, making sure I was the perfect little heiress, by his definition at least. Eventually, I decided to make my own choices and enrolled in Beacon, rather than Atlas Academy. Wanting to grow on my own, so that when I do take over my family's company, I can make it better and fix the damage my father's done to it." Weiss said, surprised at everything she was saying, not expecting to say all that to Naruto.

"That's very mature and noble of you Weiss. Though you should also be prepared, if things don't go as you wish them to, since if your father could disinherit one daughter, he could easily disinherit another. And on the chance, you're able to take over the SDC and change it for the better, there's still the chance that your father's time in charge won't be so easily forgotten. Especially by those he hurt, in the process." Naruto warned, knowing that while it's good to be better and fix mistakes, one should also be prepared for the chance of failure.

Weiss frowned at this, but nodded, knowing what Naruto said was true on the chance of her father disinheriting her as well, like with Winter. Along with the fact, that her father has cast a large shadow on the Schnee name and many, mostly the Faunus, probably wouldn't care about changes she'd make and only see another Schnee in charge.

"You're very wise, has anyone ever told you that." Weiss said, seeing how Naruto spoke like someone much older, despite being the same age as Ruby.

"I had good teachers." Replied Naruto, knowing his masters had a lot of experience and wisdom to pass onto him, making him seem more mature than he looked, not to mention his own experiences as well.

Weiss nodded at this, before gaining an annoyed expression, when they heard what sounded like fighting going on. Looking around, they soon spotted a dust cloud in a corner of the room, where they could see at least two people fighting each other.

"I think that's Ruby and Yang." Naruto said, after seeing glimpses of who it was, along with spotting Blake sitting near the cloud as well.

"Oh for the love…" Weiss muttered, before standing up and marching over to the sisters, to give them a piece of her mind for fighting when everyone is trying to sleep, with Naruto following after her.

When they got over the dust cloud had vanished, showing Ruby and Yang in their pajamas as well. With Ruby wearing black tank top, featuring a heart-shaped Beowolf design on the chest, and long white pants decorated with pink roses. She also was wearing a black sleeping mask, decorated with triangular red eyes.

Yang's pajamas consisted of an orange tank top, with her emblem on the front in red, and black boy shorts.

And Blake was wearing a black, long-sleeved, yukata-style shirt, with white edging over a purple undershirt and a matching skirt. A black obi is also wrapped around her waist and tied with a black and white string.

"What in the world is going on over, here?! Don't you realize that some of us are trying to sleep?" Weiss demanded, glaring at the half-sisters, with Ruby trapping Yang's legs.

"Uh, Ehehe, sorry." Ruby said sheepishly.

"Out of curiosity, what were you fighting about?" Asked Naruto.

"Oh, we weren't fighting. We do this all the time; I show how proud I am of my baby sis, and Ruby gets all embarrassed." Yang said, while grinning as she pinched Ruby's cheeks, with the dual haired girl smacking her hands away, with a pout.

"I was asking about Blake's book and told her how Yang used to read books to me, when we were little. And that I wanted to be like the heroes, making a world a better place and fighting for what's right, and protecting people." Said Ruby.

"That's very admirable Ruby. But you shouldn't try to be like the heroes in books. All you can do, what you should do, is trying to be the best you can be, not try to be like someone else. But you should also be prepared for the chance of being unable to complete your goal, but also to not give up. Simply be ready for the chance, and not try to accomplish something that's impossible." Said Naruto, surprising the four girls at his words.

"Anyway, I believe it'd be best to get some sleep, so we can get up early tomorrow, for initiation." Naruto said, the girls nodding in agreement, before Blake blew out her candle.

*Next Morning*

The next morning, after having breakfast, Naruto got ready in the locker room, grabbing his lightsaber and his blaster.

"Hey Ruby, Blake." Naruto greeted, upon seeing the two girls.

"Hello." Replied Blake, as she gave Naruto a nod.

"Hi Naruto!" Ruby said, smiling and waving.

"You seem to be a good mood, today. Excited for initiation?" Naruto asked, with Ruby nodding as she grabbed Crescent Rose.

"Yep! No more awkward small talk or "getting-to-know-you" stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." Cooed Ruby, while petting her beloved weapon, with Naruto and Blake raising a brow at this, before looking around.

"Where's your sister?" Blake asked, having figured Yang would be with Ruby, when they headed for initiation.

"She uh…she kind of…" Ruby said, before the two gained deadpan looks, realizing what happened.

"She ditched you again, didn't she." Said Naruto and Blake at the same time, while giving her dry, apologetic looks, with Ruby nodding sheepishly, since Yang had gone off again, wanting her to interact more with her new friends.

"I'm an only child, nor am I all that sociable, myself. And I'm pretty sure, that I could give her better advice on getting you to open up." Blake stated.

"I'm an orphan, and I'm pretty sure I could give better advice, as well." Added Naruto, with Ruby and Blake looking at him in surprise to hear that he's an orphan.

"O-oh, you're an orphan, I'm really sorry." Ruby said.

"Yeah, I'm sorry that happened." Blake added, with Naruto waving it off.

"It's fine, I made friends that I consider a surrogate family. Along with meeting some distance relatives, that helped me through a bad time." Naruto said, making the two girls smile, glad that he still had people who cared about him, though were curious about the "bad time" he went through, but knew it wasn't there place to ask.

Naruto looked around the locker room, observing some of the other initiates, spotting an orange haired girl talking very quickly to a boy wearing green with a pink streak in his hair. Along with spotting Weiss seeming to be buttering up a red haired girl, wearing rather unique looking armor.

She wore her red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet. She also wore light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her green eyes. She was tall and quite muscular compared to most of the other girls. As a top, she wore a brown overbust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center. Additionally, she wore an elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red, ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt. As for accessories, there was a small circular bronze plate on her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt. The plate bore her "shield and spear" emblem. Underneath her hair, she always wore a brown circlet adorned with a pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds on thin chains. She also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm. She had elaborate bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots, as well as a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees. She was also equipped with a bronze bracer. Her high-heeled boots were brown with bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves and reaching up to mid-calf.

'Huh, that armor looks kind of…familiar.' Naruto thought, looking at the design of the girl's armor, feeling like he's seen it, or at least heard of it, before.

The former Ninja soon realizing why, having remembered his ancestors and teachers telling him about a certain group of people, known for wearing a special type of armor. Along with being regarded as some of the greatest and deadliest fighters in the galaxy. Being capable of fighting on par with the Jedi and Sith, while having a reputation of being able to kill them, despite not being Force Sensitive themselves, in most cases.

While the Jedi and Sith weren't invincible, it was still considered very difficult for a Non-Force Sensitive to kill them. Unless they were skilled enough, while having the proper training and equipment to deal with them.

And while the girl's armor wasn't an exact replica, he could still see hints that showed it was based off that armor.

'Only question is now, does this girl have ancestors that weren't native to Remnant? Or had they interacted with off-worlders and made replicas of the armor.' Naruto wondered, curious at the chance that other beings from the universe have come here, before him.

Particularly, the galaxy that his ancestors had come from.

His interest peaked, Naruto walked up to Weiss and the girl to ask her about her armor.

Though Naruto sweatdropped, when he heard Weiss's next words.

"This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!" Weiss muttered with a manic smile on her face, not realizing she was talking out loud.

"Uh Weiss, you do realize we can here you." Naruto said, making the two girls look at him, one in relief and the other in surprise and embarrassment.

"Yo-you heard nothing!" Weiss quickly exclaimed, embarrassed they heard all that.

"Riiiight. Anyway, I'm Naruto Skywalker, nice to meet you." Said Naruto, smiling at the redheaded girl, who returned the smile.

"Nice to meet you, Naruto!" The girl replied shaking his hand, internally relieved he didn't automatically recognize her, while Weiss looked at him in disbelief.

"Naruto, do you have any idea who you're talking to?" Weiss demanded, not believing he was acting so casual around Pyrrha Nikos.

"Not really, no." Replied Naruto, with Pyrrha's smile widening that he didn't even know who she was.

"This is Pyrrha!" Said Weiss as if it was obvious, only for Naruto to look at her blankly.

"Hello again!" Pyrrha said, while waving.

"Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum!" Said Weiss, with Naruto's blank expression remaining.

"She's won the Mistral Region Tournaments four years in a row! A new record!" Weiss continued, with the Skywalker merely blinking in response.

"She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!" Shouted Weiss, while waving her arms around in anger.

But once again, Naruto didn't react, having no idea about anything that Weiss was talking about, before looking back at Pyrrha with a smile.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Pyrrha. Though I wanted to ask, where did you get your armor or was it handmade?" Naruto asked, with Pyrrha being both surprised and relieved at the question, seeing that Naruto didn't know anything about who she was or seemed to care.

She was especially relieved that he didn't know about her sponsorship, with the Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallows Flakes Company. Since it was one of her less favorable accomplishments, in the champions opinion, at least.

"It's nice to meet you as well, Naruto, and my full name is Pyrrha Nikos. As for my armor, it was handmade, my mother told me it's modelled after the armor worn by some of our ancestors." Pyrrha said, with Naruto being more intrigued by this and was about to ask more, only for the intercom system to buzz to life.

"Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff, immediately."

"Well, guess we better get going. It was nice meeting you Pyrrha, and if you want maybe we could spar some time." Naruto offered, as while he didn't understand all the accomplishments Weiss listed, he could tell that Pyrrha was pretty strong and was eager to see how he'd measure.

"Same, and I'd be happy to have a spar with you." Replied Pyrrha, excited that someone was willing to fight her, rather than being scared of her reputation, not remembering the last time she had a fight that wasn't in a tournament.

Naruto waved at Pyrrha, before going over to Ruby and Blake as the three headed to Beacon Cliff, where they met up with Yang.

"Ruby! How's it going did you enjoy hanging out with Naruto and Blake?" Yang asked, wanting to see if Ruby was opening up more to her new friends.

"Yeah, I did. They also offered to give you lessons on being an older sister." Stated Ruby.

"The first lesson is free." Naruto said, while smirking at Yang.

"Lesson one, don't mysteriously vanish and leave your sibling to fend for themselves." Added Blake, smirking as well, since she decided to play along.

"Oooh, and here I thought only I burned." Said Yang, with Ruby groaning, while Naruto and Blake looked confused.

"I don't get it." Naruto said, after a moment.

"Yang enjoys making terrible puns. That one was because whenever she uses her Semblance, her hair ignites like it's on fire." Ruby explained, with Naruto and Blake giving the blonde brawler dry looks at this, while Yang grinned cheekily.

"And look at how close you three are. Is there something else you wanna tell me sis, or what about one of you? Do you like them younger Blakey, making it more fun to corrupt them? Or maybe, you enjoy having two cute girls with you, Whiskers." Yang teased, with the three blushing in embarrassment at her words and what she meant, with Naruto and Ruby stuttering in embarrassment and denial, though Blake gained a slightly clouded look in her eyes.

"And I already I admitted that I didn't make the best decision leaving Ruby, yesterday. But I was just doing what our uncle Qrow taught me to do." Said Yang, having learned from Qrow in regard to how to teach Ruby.

"Qrow? Qrow Branwen?" Weiss asked, walking up to them after hearing Qrow's name.

"Yeah, he's our uncle. How do you know him?" Asked Ruby.

"I heard of him from my sister, Winter. Mostly her ranting about his unprofessional behavior, that he's a drunk, and has no respect for authority. And do you really think he's the best person you should be trying to emulate, in regards to teaching your sister?" Weiss asked with a raised brow as she looked at Yang, who paused before blushing in embarrassment.

"Shut up." Muttered Yang, realizing when it's put like that, it probably wasn't a good idea to act like Qrow.

Especially given the fact that his own sister, was Yang's absentee mother.

Afterwards, it wasn't long until they all arrived at Beacon Cliff and were told to stand on metal squares in the ground, while Ozpin and Goodwitch stood in front of them.

"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin said.

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of "teams". Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates…today." Stated Goodwitch, with Ruby flinching at this.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here, at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone, whom you can work well with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing, will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin announced, as he explained how teams will work at Beacon Academy.

"WHAT?!" Ruby exclaimed in shock and a bit of horror, as she swore part of her mind shattered upon hearing that.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path…or you will die. You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path, containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin explained, while looking around, but didn't see any raised hands.

"Good! Now, take your positions." Instructed Ozpin, as some of the students got into poses on their platforms or got ready for whatever happened.

Not a moment later, the students began being launched into the air, one at a time, with Ruby and Naruto being the last ones launched into the air.

"This is where the fun begins." Said Naruto, smirking as he flew through the air.

Looking for a good spot to land, Naruto soon found one in a small clearing between the trees. Calling on the Force, Naruto used his Telekinesis to direct himself downward, while slowing his decent as well, allowing the former Ninja to land safely on the ground.

'Alright, now I have to find someone to partner up with, and then find the ruins. It'd be best to partner with someone I already know, and get along with, rather than a stranger that could prove problematic. So, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Pyrrha, and…' Naruto thought, stopping when Ruby herself ran through the bushes, with the two making eye contact the moment they saw each other.

"…Hello there." Said Naruto, smiling at his new partner.

"Sooo, guess we're partners now." Ruby stated, having hoped to find Yang, but was glad she's at least partnered with someone she knew.

Meanwhile, Yang was soaring right over the treetops, using her gauntlets and its fiery force to push her through the air. Going further and further north, spinning and laughing with each blast. Even when she crashes through the leaves of a tree and leaps off two trunks to tumble to the ground.

"Nailed it!" Yang said, running off or would have, had she not heard someone talking.

"You might want to be more careful with how you land!"

Looking up, Yang made eye contact with Pyrrha, smiling as she stood on a tree branch.

"Sup partner!" Said Yang, waving at her new partner, with Pyrrha waving back before jumping down.

In another part of the forest, Weiss had already landed, only to soon run into a Beowolf, with the heiress deflecting a slash from the Grimm and jumping back.

'Remember your training, Weiss. Head up, shoulders back, right foot forward, not that forward, slow your breathing-' Weiss's thought were soon interrupted, when the Beowolf cried out before falling down and dissolving into smoke, revealing Blake standing behind it, having taken the opportunity to kill the Grimm.

"Hey! I had that completely under control!" Weiss said, annoyed at having her fight interrupted.

"Sure you did. Let's go, partner." Blake said sarcastically, to hide her annoyance at being partnered with the Schnee Heiress.

"Where are you going?! We're supposed to go that way to the ruins." Weiss said, running in front of Blake and pointing to the left.

"No, we're supposed to go to the ruins, we don't have a specific direction to go. It's not like we were given maps to the ruins." Stated Blake, with Weiss giving her an annoyed look.

"Of course, I know that! But I know exactly which way we're supposed to go." Weiss retorted with a smirk, while Blake rolled her eyes.

"Right, because Schnees have been able to make such great choices, before." Muttered Blake with sarcasm lacing her tone, with Weiss pausing to give her a glare.

"What was that?!" Demanded Weiss.

"Nothing at all. Now let's go, I'm sure we'll get there soon enough, following your directions." Blake said, her tone still laced with sarcasm.

"Oh you think you can find them, faster?" Weiss demanded, while narrowing her eyes.

"Yes." Said Blake, given her enhanced senses and having been trained to track and find stuff, she had a better sense of direction.

"Then which way do we go?" Weiss said, with the hidden Faunus giving her an annoyed look.

"I can't exactly find something, that I've never seen before." Retorted Blake, not knowing what the ruins looked like or what relics they were supposed to find.

"Hmph, that's what I thought. Now let's get going." Said Weiss, smirking, before going off in her direction, while Blake sighed in annoyance before following after her.

*Later-Beacon Cliff*

"The last pair has been formed, sir. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy…I can't possibly imagine those two getting along." Goodwitch said, while looking at her Scroll, as the last pair of Ren and Nora were paired up, before going to a new image of Yang and Pyrrha.

"Though, I'm not sure if Miss Nikos and Miss Xiao Long are much as a better pair. I guess we'll find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes. Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year? Professor Ozpin?" Goodwitch said, after being met with silence, seeing the Headmaster looking at an image of Naruto and Ruby walking through the forest, making the woman sigh before looking back at the cameras.

"Also, don't forget we still have that chess match to complete." Glynda said with a smirk, as her glasses had a smug glint to them, reminding Ozpin of the game that she was about to win earlier before they had to come here for initiation.

Her words finally pulled Ozpin from his musing, at the worst possible time, as he was drinking his coffee. Only to do a spit take at the reminder of the chess game.

"Oh ri-right…the game…well…about that…" Ozpin said sheepishly, given the fact the relics he used, were the very chess pieces they had been playing with.

*With Naruto and Ruby*

Meanwhile, Naruto and Ruby walked through the forest, only to suddenly pause when they heard a loud shout.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

The two teens looked up in surprise at the sudden shout, before trading looks with each other.

"What do you think that was?" Ruby asked, with Naruto shrugging in response.

"I have no idea, but whoever it was, sounded angry." Said Naruto, with Ruby nodding in agreement, before they continued on their way.

"By the way Naruto, I've been meaning to ask. How does your lightsaber work? Is it a Dust crystal inside the hilt, that creates the blade?" Ruby asked, eager for the chance to learn more about Naruto's weapon.

"No, it's not a Dust crystal. It's a rare crystal, called a Kyber Crystal, that are hard to come by. They're used to create a lightsaber and the blades are strong enough to cut through most materials. They also come in a variety of colors, mine just happens to be blue-green." Naruto explained.

"Do they come in red?" Ruby asked eagerly, with Naruto nodding in confirmation.

Having been trained by Luke and Leia, Naruto was trained in the ideals and beliefs that the New Jedi Order possessed. Making him more open-minded regarding things that were considered tabooed or frowned upon, by past Jedi Orders. So, he didn't mind the idea of Ruby using a Red Kyber Crystal. Especially since the lightsaber shoto that Luke constructed to counter Lumiya's lightwhip, had a red blade as well.

"Yeah, they do. Kyber Crystals can also be used in other lightsaber-like weapons, rather than just a sword like mine. Staffs, whips, short swords, even scythes." Said Naruto, smirking as Ruby squealed in excitement at the last one.

"Would I be able to upgrade Crescent Rose to hold a Kyber Crystal?!" Said Ruby, excited at the idea of upgrading her baby to be like Naruto's lightsaber, and make it even stronger.

"Possible. But you'd need to find one first." Naruto said, with Ruby nodding, while swearing she'll find a Kyber Crystal to put in her weapon.

With the time that Naruto has spent with Ruby and got to really focus on her. He was able to tell that she is Force-Sensitive, having a strong connection to the Force, at that. Though, he wanted to ask his Masters first before he considers training Ruby as a Jedi. Since he isn't a Jedi Knight yet, with Naruto being unsure if he was ready to take on a student of his own.

*With Yang and Pyrrha*

"Think this is it?" Yang asked, as she and Pyrrha stood outside a cave, with some drawings outside it.

"I'm not so sure. Professor Ozpin said we'd have to go to an abandoned temple; I don't think a temple would be in a cave. Plus, I think those drawings are meant to be a warning." Said Pyrrha, doubting this was where they were supposed to go, while Yang nodded, before the two moved on to continue their search.

"Sooo, you're from Mistral?" Yang asked, with Pyrrha nodding.

"That's right, I'm from the city of Argo." Answered Pyrrha, while looking at her partner.

"And are you pretty familiar with the continent and people there?" Asked Yang, with Pyrrha nodding slowly at the rather strange question.

"I like to believe I am. Why do you ask?" Pyrrha said, with Yang pulling out her Scroll and showing a picture of her mother.

"You ever heard of her, before?" Yang asked, figuring it was a long shot, but she's willing to try anything, if it meant finding her mother.

"That's Raven Branwen." Said Pyrrha, frowning, as she recognized the woman, based on the descriptions she's heard of her, from sightings in western Anima.

"Yeah, yeah it is." Yang muttered, before pocketing her Scroll.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you trying to find her?" Pyrrha asked, wondering why Yang would want to find someone, like Raven.

"She has answers that I want." Replied Yang, with Pyrrha looking at her for a moment before her eyes widened in realization.

"Oh…" Pyrrha said, now seeing the resemblance between the two, and could now see why Yang was trying to find her.

"Well…most of what I've heard of her, she's usually seen in western Anima, in the forest, while being known to move around a lot." Said Pyrrha, wanting to help Yang anyway she could, to find her apparent mother.

"…Thank you." Yang said, feeling more hopeful than she ever has at getting an actual lead on her mother's location.

*Later*

After some time, Naruto and Ruby soon arrived at the ruined temple and grabbed their chess piece, before seeing Yang and Pyrrha arriving soon after them.

"Ruby! Good to see you guys made it!" Yang said, while smiling at her sister and her friend.

"Hello again!" Said Pyrrha as she waved at Naruto, glad to see he's arrived as well.

"Hey, Yang, Pyrrha, good to see you've arrived." Naruto replied.

"After we beat you here, sis!" Said Ruby as she smirked at them, glad that she and her partner beat Yang to the temple.

"Sure, little sister." Yang said, rolling her eyes, before she and Pyrrha got their own piece.

Before they can do anything else, several crashing noises are heard in the forest ahead of them. With an Ursa came rushing out, swiping its claws, just as a pink blast of energy hits it in the back and it crashes to the ground, depositing its rider.

"YEEEE-HAAAAW!" Nora screamed, rolling off the Grimm's back, before seeing it wasn't moving anymore.

"Awwww…It's broken." Whined Nora, just as Ren came running up to her, panting heavily.

"Nora! Please…Don't ever do that again." Ren said, as the four students looked at the scene with wide eyes.

"Did…did that just happen?" Pyrrha asked, wanting to make sure she wasn't hallucinating, with Naruto, Ruby, and Yang nodding, having seen Nora show up riding an Ursa.

"Oooohh…I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora chanted, after grabbing a chess piece.

"Nora!" Shouted Ren.

"Coming, Ren!" Said Nora, before running over to her friend.

"Oookay, are any other crazy things going to happen today?" Yang asked, before they all heard a loud roar, followed by Weiss and Blake running through the trees as they were followed by a gigantic Beringel, with the ape-like Grimm roaring as it pounded on its chest.

"You just had to say it, didn't you." Naruto deadpanned, while Yang chuckled sheepishly.

"Well it's not like any-" Yang said, only to be cut off when Pyrrha covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry Yang, but please don't." Said Pyrrha, not wanting her partner to jinx them again.

"For the record, this is your fault." Blake said to Weiss.

"My fault?! You're the one who kept arguing with me every step of the way! This is your fault!" Retorted Weiss.

"You kept leading us around in circles claiming, "we passed it" when we didn't pass it! We were nowhere near it!" Blake said.

"Well I didn't see you offering any-" Said Weiss, before being cut off, when they saw Naruto in front of them, holding his hand out.

Looking, everyone was shocked when they saw a tree floating in midair, having been thrown by the Beringel at the arguing girls, while they weren't paying attention.

"Perhaps if you both paid attention, as much as you're bickering, you would have been able to dodge this." Said Naruto, before thrusting his hand forward, launching the tree straight back at the Beringel, knocking the Grimm to the ground.

Only for it get back up, roaring, as it charged right towards Naruto, with the whiskered blonde drawing his lightsaber and charging towards the Grimm, as well.

"Naruto!" Ruby said, worried for her partner facing such a powerful Grimm, and was about to rush in to help him.

Only for everyone to be shocked again, when the Beringel brought its fists down towards Naruto, only for the boy to spin to the side and jump over the large Grimm. The Skywalker activating his lightsaber and swung it right at the Grimm's neck, decapitating it in a single fluid motion. With Naruto landing on the ground, as the Beringel dissolved into smoke, while the others looked at him in stunned silence.

"Well, I believe we're done here." Stated Naruto, deactivating his lightsaber and clipping it back to his belt.

*Later*

"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by…Cardin Winchester!" Ozpin said, as all the students that passed stood in groups of four, as Ozpin created their teams and named who would lead them.

"Pyrrha Nikos. Yang Xiao Long. Nora Valkyrie. Lie Ren. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team PYNR (Pink). Lead by…Pyrrha Nikos." Ozpin said, with Pyrrha smiling in acceptance at being named team leader.

"Way to go partner." Yang said, grinning and punching Pyrrha's arm playfully.

"And finally: Ruby Rose. Naruto Skywalker. Blake Hōzuki. Weiss Schnee. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RNBW (Rainbow). Led by…Ruby Rose!" Ozpin announced, with Ruby being shocked that she was named team leader, having expected Naruto to become leader.

"Congratulations, Ruby." Said Naruto as he smiled at his partner, which Ruby slowly returned, excited at being team leader.

While swearing that she'll do her best to prove she can be a great leader.

So, what did you think, good. Yep rather than chewing Ruby out, Weiss chews out Yang after learning it was her ditching Ruby which resulted in their less than stellar first meeting, before going onto that night where Naruto get's to know the girls better, mostly Weiss and Ruby. Before skipping to the next day where Naruto meets Pyrrha and notices how her armor seems to resemble a certain group of warriors he's heard of, which Pyrrha may be descended from said warriors. We then go onto initiation where some very different partners are formed, along with the absence of a certain blonde knight. Finally we go to the teams being formed with Ruby once again becoming leader of her team and Pyrrha leading her team as well. Now before we finish things up, here's an Omake to show where said blonde knight is.

Omake: Knight of the North

"These are…quite the interesting transcripts." Said General Ironwood, looking over the transcripts of a potential new student at Atlas Academy, with said potential student sitting nervously across from him.

"Uh, thank you, sir. I uh…I've really tried my hardest and always wanted to be a Huntsmen. Though I originally planned to enroll in Beacon." The student said, nervously, given they hadn't expected to be brought to Atlas Academy and meeting with Ironwood, himself, along with all the questions they had to answer and papers they had to fill out.

"Yes, I know Headmaster Ozpin. He's actually the one that recommended for you to come to Atlas." Ironwood said, surprising the student, while the general remembered the meeting, he had with Ozpin in regard to them attending Atlas.

*Flashback*

"These transcripts are obviously fake." Ironwood said, dropping the transcripts Ozpin handed him on the latter's desk, being able to tell they were falsified before he even finished looking them over.

"True. But they do have a keen mind for strategy." Stated Ozpin, having seen while the transcripts were fake, some the information did seem pretty good.

"You aren't actually thinking of letting them attend Beacon, are you Oz?" Questioned Ironwood, knowing if anyone had tried entering Atlas Academy with fake transcripts, he'd have them banned from entering any Huntsman Academy.

"Originally, I was going to let them attend. But I've recently acquired a new student, which would mean that if I allowed this one to attend, there'd be an odd number of initiates, this year. Which is why I called you here, James. I wish for you to let them enroll in Atlas." Ozpin replied, much to Ironwood's disbelief.

"You can't be serious?" Ironwood said.

"I'm very serious. James, give them a chance, test them yourself. While yes, they don't have any formal combat training, that's easily fixable and you can see that they do have a good mind. With the right training and teaching, they could become a fine Huntsmen." Said Ozpin, as the general sighed, but was willing to admit Ozpin that had a point.

"One chance." Ironwood said, with Ozpin nodding in agreement.

"One chance." Replied Ozpin.

*End Flashback*

And while Ironwood still had some doubts, he had to admit that Ozpin was right, they did have a good mind for strategy and planning. Along with having potential and determination to make for a good Huntsmen, maybe even a soldier, if they joined the military.

"Well, let me the first to welcome you to Atlas Academy. I expect great things from you, Miss Arc." Ironwood holding out his hand, while Jeanne felt relief and joy wash over her.

"Th-thank you, general! A-and don't worry, I'll do my best!" Jeanne said, while shaking his hand, excited that she got the chance to enroll in a Huntsmen Academy.

"I know you will. Now get going, you'll need to get ready for initiation tomorrow, and getting your equipment upgraded. Ask for Dr. Polendina." Said Ironwood, Jeanne nodding before exiting the office.

Bet you didn't see that coming, I said the blonde knight, I never said it'd actually be Jaune! But yep, since Naruto has taken their place at Beacon, Ozpin sent Jeanne to Atlas Academy where Ironwood allows her to join seeing the potential she has. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
