This is the new and improved version of Chapter 1. Hope you enjoy! Soon I'll update the following four chapters before I start writing chapter 6! Also, clarifications are always at the bottom so be sure to read them as I will be explaining a couple of things from this chapter there.
AN: Firstly, I would like to thank the numerous creative writers out there who upon reading their stories, inspired me to create my very own. Without you I wouldn't be here giving you my own fanfic.
Second, I changed some of the canon including Sasuke's age and the events that occurred in the Elemental Nations.
Third, Sasuke's here is 19 years old, his clothes, however, would be the same one he is wearing in Boruto. Lastly, this story will not follow RWBY's canon storyline.

Chapter 1: Painted Clouds
"Who are you?" the man with medium length spiky hair asked monotonously in a menacing deep voice. Just like his voice, the man's overall appearance is threatening. His pale face is littered with numerous piercings while his purple eyes features ripple patterns. Meanwhile, his clothes are mostly covered by a long black cloak with red clouds.
The huffing and visibly exhausted raven-haired teen kneeling on the ground didn't reply, instead he merely leveled a glare at the man above the stone structure. 'Dammit! I miscalculated!' he frustratingly thought, all the while trying to school his ever-growing anxiety from appearing.
He then stood up slowly, panting while his knees are shaking, caused by his chakra exhaustion. He steadily removed his gaze from the man before warily looking at the remaining ten people above the same stone structure.
'Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Pain, Konan, Obito, Orochimaru, Zetsu, KIsame and… Itachi Uchiha' he identified in his head, as his eyes wandered around the Akatsuki members who are also looking at him from above. 'They're all here… dammit!' he bitterly thought, as he gritted his teeth before preparing to flee. 'I can't fight them yet… my chakra reserves are currently low!'
However, before he could enact his plan a group of eight teen ran towards him. "Sasuke!" Ruby Rose started, as she was the first to reach the Uchiha. "Are you okay? You don't look so good" Ruby stated the obvious, all the while failing to notice the Akatsuki members.
'Idiot!' he thought, as he glared at the oblivious yet worried girl beside him. He was avoiding to give the Akatsuki his name after all, but now that Ruby thrown it away, there was nothing he can do anymore about it. Instead, Sasuke merely looked towards the three former leaf shinobis at the structure. Orochimaru and Itachi slightly widened their respective eyes, clearly surprised while Obito's expression was hidden by his mask.
"Get back! Leave this place immediately!" Sasuke ordered darkly, while both team RWBY and JNPR became confused at his tone.
"Hey we were just worried about you! You don't have to shout!" Weiss reprimanded, all the while glaring at him before looking away and huffing.
"Man… do you need a hand?" Jaune asked, as he tried to offer a support for him, only to be ignored by the Uchiha narrowing his eyes at the Akatsuki in case they make their move. Fortunately for both him and the others, they merely observed them.
"You told us you will return to your village, but as we're preparing to head back to Beacon this stone structure suddenly appeared from where you are. Ruby was worried about you so we ran towards here to check on you" Pyrrha explained to him as she looked towards the enormous stone structure near them before noticing the people above.
"Whoa you really don't look good blacky why don't you take a seat first… wait who are they? Are they from Konoohah?" Yang questioned while at the same time butchering the name of his village, clearly unaware of the dangers the group pose. The other oblivious teens followed her gaze to see the Akatsuki members standing above of the structure.
"My, my what an interesting turn of events… right Itachi?" Orochimaru stated as he looked at older Uchiha before creepily smiling and licking his lips. Itachi ignored him as he emotionlessly stared at the raven-haired teen whose similarities with his younger brother is uncanny, the only difference is the age.
"They don't look very friendly" Jaune nervously stated, as some of them silently agreed, especially Blake and Weiss. The two girls narrowed their respective eyes at the group in front of them, suspicion and wariness evident in both of their faces.
"Listen to me… this place is dangerous! Leave immediately!" Sasuke ordered them again between huffs, all the while not tearing his gaze away from the group of nukenins.
Both team RWBY and JNPR shared a look before they were hit with a sudden realization. Sasuke's tone and words heavily implies that the group in front of them are not friends but enemies. However, instead of retreating they stayed, much to the raven-haired teen's annoyance.
"We're not going to leave you Uchiha. Don't think low of us that we'll abandon one of our friends" Weiss declared with finality while glaring at Sasuke, as the others nodded in agreement. All the while, they each took their respective weapons before taking their stance, preparing themselves to fight as well as protect the exhausted Uchiha.
"Uchiha?" Pain asked to no one in particular, as he narrowed his purple eyes at the raven-haired teen and his group. "Another Uchiha huh?" Kakuzu growled. "How annoying."
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly before hardening again, ready to reprimand them for their stubbornness as it would get them killed. However, before he could voice out his opposition a loud laugh garnered his attention.
"This is golden, yeah!" Deidara exclaimed between his laughs, all the while holding his sides. "Huh? What the fuck is funny to you, blondie?" Hidan perplexingly questioned while raising his eyebrow. "Brat" Sasori growled, as he looked at his idiotic partner.
Just like the immortal, the teens except Sasuke was confused as to what did the blonde found funny. However, they still didn't let their guard down as they warily waited for the blonde to explain.
"Hey Uchiha" Deidara smugly called to Itachi after regaining his composure. Itachi merely looked at him and didn't reply. "Don't tell me that's your younger brother right there?" Deidara arrogantly asked, after piecing the puzzle together.
"Brother?" Ruby asked, as she and the other flabbergasted teens looked at Sasuke and then at the 'Itachi' person only to find that their resemblances are uncanny. "That's your brother blacky?" Yang pushed another question, as she and the other's waited for Sasuke's confirmation. Only to be more confused when the teen didn't reply.
"You must have been waiting all your life for this brotherly reunion, yeah? After all, you probably didn't see each other since the Uchiha Massacre" Deidara cockily remarked, to which the both team RWBY and JNPR flinched.
"Heh, blondie is running his mouth again" Kisame stated as he smiled with mild interest at the current event. "I say we just kill the blonde. We're wasting enough time as it is" Kakuzu impatiently growled.
"Uchiha massacre?" Blake anxiously asked, as she and the others widened their eyes in surprise at the news before looking at Sasuke. Some of them are worried while some of them are horrified at the revelation, but Sasuke didn't meet their gaze, he just darkly glared at the smugly smiling Deidara.
"Wow you kids seriously didn't know that, yeah? Are you living under a rock? That's like the biggest news from the leaf" Deidara loudly continued, before smiling darkly. "After all this guy right here, Uchiha Itachi massacred all of his clanmates in one night, leaving only his teeny tiny brother Uchiha Sasuke alive."
Both team RWBY and JNPR widened their eyes at the news, before looking back at the sole survivor of the clan's massacre. Everyone single one of them felt their stomachs turn, as all the colors were drained from their faces, clearly terrified at the revelation.
Sasuke's very own older brother, Uchiha Itachi killed every single one of their relatives in a single night. Everyone including their own mother and father were killed in cold blood, leaving their friend, Sasuke as the only survivor. Listening to such atrocious crime was more than enough to make their blood run cold.
Pyrrha, Weiss and Blake covered their mouths with their hands in shock as their bodies slightly trembled. Jaune, Ren and Nora stood there unmoving as their mouths hanged open, unable to process the horrible news.
Ruby's body trembled as tears fell from her eyes, at a loss for words for what Sasuke had been through. While Yang's eyes burned red, fuming at the crime the older brother committed. "You bastard! How could you do that?!" the blonde brawler shouted in her rage at the stoic Itachi.
While this is happening, Sasuke didn't move or even reacted, he merely continued his glare at Deidara as his mind wanders back to the past events leading to where he is now. All the while a question lingers at the back of his mind, 'Where did I go wrong?'
Weeks Ago
'The Fourth Shinobi War' Sasuke Uchiha thought as he walked through the silent forest under the shade of the night. The teen is no older than 19 years old. His hair is raven colored, spiky on the back while his bangs on the front cover the left side of his pale face. His appearance overall is blend of 'charming' and sharp, according to his multiple admirers of course.
On top, he wears a periwinkle vest over his dark grey, long-sleeved collared shirt while both of his hands were covered by matching dark grey fingerless gloves. Below, the Uchiha's outfit is consisted of black pants, a purple belt, and a pair of black high sandals, as his footwear. Moreover, he has his sword, Kusanagi no Tsurugi inside a black scabbard, positioned on his right waist and hidden from view, along with the rest of his clothes by his low-knee black cloak.
Two years ago, the world as he knew was almost ended by the Rabbit Goddess Kaguya and her jutsu the Infinite Tsukiyomi. Fortunately, they were able to defeat and seal her to the moon, releasing the jutsu and freeing everyone from the false reality. Although not without countless casualties and death.
'It was a close call' the raven-haired teen thought as he approached a clearing, all the while remembering the numerous times they almost died during their battle against the Goddess. Even with the powers gifted by the Rikudō Sennin, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to him and Naruto, they barely managed to defeat Kaguya. The gap between their powers is simply that far.
'I need to be prepared… in case another threat like Kaguya appears' the teen mused to himself, as he stopped his stroll in the middle of the clearing. He then looked and stared upwards, towards the starry sky as his mind wanders back to the events that occurred after the war.
Two years ago, he received his Rinnegan from Hagoromo in order to aid them in winning the war. When peace finally returned to the Elemental Nations, he surrendered himself back to the leaf, after of course his final battle against his best friend, Naruto.
A year passed before his crimes were forgiven and was reinstated as a shinobi of Konohagakure no Sato for his assistance during war. Afterwards, he wasted no time in learning his new abilities that came with his gifted eye, the six paths.
The Six Paths are the unique techniques bestowed to those who wield the Rinnegan. Despite its name, there are actually seven of these techniques that grant the user powerful and near god-like abilities: The first is the Deva Path, which allows the user to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces. The second is the Asura Path, which enables the user to augment their body with mechanized limbs, weaponry and even armor. The third is the Human Path, which affords the ability to read a person's mind while also removing their soul. The fourth is the Animal Path which allows the user to summon a wide variety of creatures. The fifth is the Preta Path, which is capable of absorbing all forms of chakra, including most ninjutsu. The sixth is the Naraka Path, through which the user can call upon the King of Hell. The final path and the most powerful is the Outer Path, with which the user is able to preside over life and death.
Despite not yet mastering all of the paths due to the time and effort required, he still managed to master three of it all within a span of one year.
Last year, it took him three months to completely master the Naraka path. The said path requires him to perfectly mold his chakra in able to correctly summon the King of Hell. The said summon is extremely difficult to commandeer.
If he used too little chakra then the King of Hell will not follow his command. However, if he used too many chakra then the summon becomes too unstable to use, causing more harm than actual healing. It took him countless trial and errors before he was able to properly summon the King of Hell. To which he used in order to regain the arm he lost in his battle with Naruto Uzumaki, his best friend.
Furthermore, it took him another three months to master the Animal Path as getting used to the shared vision with his summons is easier said than done. He even lost his original vision a couple of times when he summoned multiple animals. After countless failed attempts, he was able to control multiple summons, all the while without having a headache or getting lost in his animals' vision.
Lastly, it took him six months to completely master perhaps the hardest, the Deva Path. The said path needs perfect chakra control in order to attract and repel objects properly. If he does make a small mistake, his control over gravity backfires resulting to either an explosion or losing consciousness due to chakra depletion. However, just like the two paths before it, after countless trial and errors he was able to properly utilize it.
Following his success in mastering the three paths, Sasuke came to a conclusion that the abilities of the Rinnegan comes with a price. Sweat and blood must first be spent in order to utilize its powers. As to why Naruto had a hard time battling Pain, a practitioner of the six paths.
According to what Naruto told him, Pain was able to utilize all the six paths at the same time, singlehandedly destroying the leaf and causing countless deaths. If it weren't for Naruto's persuasion then he wouldn't have a change of heart. He wouldn't use the Outer Path to revive all of those who fall during the attack, in exchange for his life.
Such control over the unique powers of the Rinnegan was nothing less than astounding to Sasuke, even if he was an enemy. Of course, just like him, Pain must had undergone a long training filled with countless trials and errors before he was able to reach that level of control. Afterall, the abilities of the RInnegan are grueling to master.
Speaking of Naruto, it had also been a year since his last contact with his blonde friend, informing him about his upcoming wedding with Hinata Hyuga, his long-time admirer. Although Sasuke wouldn't admit it, he was very happy with his friend. However, because he was still on his journey in mastering the three paths that time, he couldn't attend the wedding. Instead, he sent a message congratulating Naruto and Hinata and wishing them a good future.
After wandering and training for a year, Sasuke knew that it's time for him to start mastering the Amenominaka, a jutsu used by Kaguya to jump between dimensions. Before Naruto and Hinata's wedding, he originally plans to just master all the six paths before returning to the leaf.
That all soon changed, as one night he soon received a message from his village informing him about the new threat that is Toneri Ōtsutsuki, a being like Kaguya. After receiving the message, he immediately halts his training before quickly heading back towards Konohagakure no Sato. All the while his anxiety gnawing at the back of his mind at the prospect of another being like her.
However, before he got there, he received another message from Konoha's messenger bird informing him that Naruto already defeated Toneri. Nevertheless, Sasuke's unease didn't leave as he is still worried if another Ōtsutsuki soon comes.
Although Toneri is inferior to Kaguya, that still doesn't change the fact that he is powerful enough to wipe most of the Elemental Nations, if not stopped. With Hanabi's Byakugan combined with his Ōtsutsuki chakra, Toneri's eyes matured into the Tenseigan. With these eyes, he can control attractive and repulsive forces that are capable of lifting the rocks of the Moon to use them as projectiles and pull the Moon itself towards Earth without the use of the Energy Vessel.
Furthermore, he also possess the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, which grants him enhanced strength, speed, and durability that allow him to fight against Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. He can compress this state into his hand to create a tremendously powerful chakra blast that can deplete someone of their chakra as well as destroy a massive portion of the moon's surface. Nevertheless, he was defeated due to the combined effort of Naruto and Hinata.
Moreover, Toneri is the proof that there are more of the Ōtsutsuki's. If one is problematic enough, then what more if they decide to attack the Elemental Nations together in the future? That question is the thought that lingers inside Sasuke's mind for quite a while now.
This brings us to where he is tonight, in a middle of a forest's clearing, far from any civilization as he now has his sights on practicing and mastering the Amenominaka justu. With it, he will try to track and find the dimension where the Ōtsutsuki's reside. So that he could gather information about them, their weaknesses, their motives, in case another becomes a threat.
Afterall, if he is successful in his mission, then they would be prepared and stand more chance if another Ōtsutsuki comes. 'This is for the best' Sasuke thought, as he prepares himself for his newfound expedition. He then checked both his back pouch to see if all the ninja tools and scrolls he need is still there before tightening his sword in his scabbard hanging on his right waist.
Sasuke soon closed both of his eyes for a second before opening them to reveal both the Sharingan and Rinnegan in their respective places. He then performed a couple of hand seals to mold his chakra, before muttering "Amenominaka", therefore completing the justu.
Few seconds ago, he was still looking at the trees that surround the forest he was at. Now however, is a different story as he found himself falling fast at the lava below him, the same dimension Kaguya brought them two years ago. Thinking fast, he quickly performed the same hand seals required before muttering "Amenominaka" again.
Before he hit the lava below him, he blinked to find himself in a new place, one that is different to the dimensions Kaguya brought them to. With his feet now planted on the ground, he looked around to find himself on a wasteland filled with nothing but bones of humongous creatures he wasn't familiar with.
'This doesn't look like the place they would reside in' he mused to himself as he observed the wasteland in front of him. 'And it looks like I could use the justu for a couple more times before I run out of chakra' he thought as he felt his chakra pool get drained by his two attempts.
His musing however, was cut off short when he felt a deep rumbling on the ground he was standing at. His battle-hardened instincts screamed at him about the dangers of what's to come. Trusting his instincts, he swiftly jumped far away from the sinking ground he was standing before.
'This place is far too unstable. I need to get out of here fast!" Sasuke thought, before performing the same hand signs and uttering "Amenominaka" for the third time. All the while the ground in front of him continues to rapidly sink.
Blinking for a short moment, he found himself airborne again on a new location, all the while rapidly approaching the ground beneath him. Without wasting a second, he quickly adjusted his feet vertical to the ground to absorb the impact before landing in a crouching position, while his cloak flutters behind him.
As he set his sights to observe his new location, his eyes widened for a fraction of a second before narrowing at what he saw. Instead of being alone like he expected, he found himself inside of an arena overviewed by a gallery filled with shocked teens watching him.
'Am I back at the elemental nations? Hn, but where exactly?' Sasuke asked himself, while looking around the unfamiliar territory he was in. Inside the arena, he is currently at the middle of some sort of tournament between a scraggly looking blonde and a tall smug looking brown-haired teen.
Just like the teens at the gallery, the two combatants looked equally surprised to see him appear out of the thin air before landing. 'They're not wearing any Hitai-ate… not one of them is." Sasuke mused to himself, as he set his gaze back at the gallery before him.
His musing however, was stopped when a stern looking blonde woman warily approached him, all the while narrowing her eyes at him. Sasuke leveled the woman's glare, all the while carefully observing her every features.
The woman appears to be middle-aged, with a very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun while a curl is hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She also has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar.
On her upper body, she wears a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Moreover, she wears 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.
Lastly, her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black-brown stockings. And for footwear, the woman wears black boots with bronze heels.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" the blonde woman sternly asked, as she prepared her riding crop looking weapon in case the unknown teen in front of her attacks.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the gesture but didn't say anything. He wasn't blaming the woman for being suspicious at him. It was the logical thing to do if someone were to appear out of the thin air. However, from the looks of it, the woman was prepared to forcibly take him and that he didn't like.
He would not let unnamed people do as they want, even this woman in front of him. Afterall, if they were suspicious of him, then he also has the right to feel the same. He would not trust them for now. Who knows, maybe they're enemies of the leaf, rogues even as they don't seem to wear any Hitai-ate.
Moreover, another thing that caught his eye is the way these people are dressed. It looks too foreign for Sasuke's standards to be from somewhere in the Elemental Nations. Heavy armor and shields aren't exactly the optimal equipment for shinobis. Afterall, mobility and speed are the things that makes them deadly.
Shields and heavy armors will only weight them down and only do-little protection against most ninjustus. 'Could it be that they're samurais from the Land of Iron? No, their armors are very different…' Sasuke thought, as he quickly dismissed his assumptions.
'So, if I'm not in the Land of Iron… then where exactly am I?' the Uchiha thought, while at the same time being wary of everyone around him.
"I'll repeat my question, young man" the blonde woman started, as she hardened her glare at the raven-haired teen in front of her. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Sasuke thinks for a moment, weighing his options of whether to use a fake or his real name. Sometime passed, before he chose his latter option. After all, if she knows that he's an Uchiha then maybe she'll be afraid of him. More so, even terrified to feel the Uchiha's wrath. Maybe then she'll speak as to where they are.
The Uchiha is still one of the most powerful clans of Konohagakure no Sato, even if he's the only one left. Their visual prowess is only second to those that bears the Rinnegan. Still, at the end of the day they are nearly unmatched as those who bears Rikudō Sennin's eyes are almost non-existent.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke and as to why I am here," he stopped momentarily to gaze at the woman looking back at him with caution. "I have no idea… I just found myself here." He lied, as he didn't trust the woman in front of him. Moreover, he didn't want to reveal the existence of Amenominaka. Such ability would only attract power hungry fools who would try to use him and his powers for their benefit.
"You honestly expect me to believe that?" the blonde voiced out her suspicion at him, all the while raising one of her eyebrows. "Regardless if you're telling the truth or not. I still have to ask you to come with me to the headmaster's office. Your compliance would be appreciated, if not," the woman momentarily stopped to sternly look at his eyes, a gesture he returned without flinching. "I will have to use force" the woman finished; voice filled with nothing but authority.
'So, she doesn't even react upon hearing my name… where the hell am I' Sasuke thought, before narrowing his eyes at the woman. His earlier plan failed as the blonde doesn't seem to have the slightest idea about his name nor his clan, almost like she hadn't heard it before.
"Just tell me where I am and I'll be on my way" he coolly replied, ignoring what the woman just told him. As such, the woman hardened her glare, not liking his answer nor his attitude, before pointing the end of her riding crop at him.
"Hn, you asked for this then" Sasuke emotionlessly stated, as prepared himself for what's about to come. He then closed his visible eye for a second before opening it to reveal a now red eye, all the while three tomoes rapidly spins before stopping.
The appearance of the Sharingan slightly disturbed the blonde woman but she didn't show it. 'What's with his eye? Is that his semblance?' she questioned herself, as she felt the hair at the back of her neck slightly standing. 'It's giving me an odd vibe.'
"Mr. Arc, Mr. Winchester" she started, all the while not moving her gaze away from the Uchiha. "Quickly exit the arena, I'll deal with him" she sternly commanded. As she would not risk any of her students getting harmed by the mysterious teen in front of her.
The blonde of the two students nervously nodded while the arrogant looking one shook his head. "What? You serious teach?" Cardin asked, before slightly flinching when Goodwitch glared at him. The look from her eyes clearly tells him to follow her command obediently. However, due to his enormous pride he didn't obey.
Mustering all the courage he can under the professor's glare, he clicked his tongue. "We're not kids anymore teach! I'll show you I can deal with him, just like how I dealt with Jauney boy here" he arrogantly stated before raising his mace and charging ahead at the Uchiha.
"Yeah show him Cardin! Teach him not to mess with team CRDL's leader" one of the students outside the arena cheered, encouraging the egotistic teen to continue his stupid action. All the while Sasuke merely raised his eyebrow at how sloppy the armored teen is charging at him.
Goodwitch gritted her teeth, frustrated at her student for disobeying her orders. She will reprimand and punish him for his actions later, for now she has a bigger issue to deal with. She then quickly pointed her riding crop at his reckless student to pull and bound him using her semblance before the suspicious teen could attack him.
However, before she could do so, the Uchiha moved quicker than she was expecting, as he vanished from everyone's view. The blonde woman and the rest of the students were suddenly caught off guard by how fast the now named Uchiha Sasuke moved.
'I don't have time for this fool' he thought, before reappearing at the back of the armored teen with his chakra coated right hand raised, rapidly approaching the student's back head.
Before Cardin had any idea of what's happening, he was suddenly struck at the back of his head by the Uchiha's fist. He didn't even get the chance to protect himself with aura as the hit rendered him unconscious in just a whim. Eyes rolling upwards before closing, he then tumbles and rolls on the ground for a couple of seconds before finally stopping. All the while his mace falls harmlessly to the ground with a clang.
Silence filled the whole room for a second as all students including the professor were surprised at what had transpired. A huntsman in training was easily defeated by the unknown assailant in just one hit. Such occurrence only cemented their suspicion and wariness at the raven-haired teen. Uchiha Sasuke is powerful and dangerous.
"I told you, didn't I? To tell me where I am and I'll be on my way" he emotionlessly started, before turning and looking straight at the glaring blonde, while the blue light created by chakra disperses from his hand. "Yet, you didn't listen and even failed to control one of your students" he continued, all the while Goodwitch's anger increased. "You asked for this."
Soon, after finding their voice to speak, some of the students expressed their disbelief with loud exclaims while the others stayed silent, afraid of the teen that appeared of nowhere. However, amidst the panic that Sasuke ignored, only one stood out, in the form of the blonde professor in front of him.
"How dare you barge in here and hurt one of my students!" Goodwitch with rage evident on her face, shouted silencing the whole room. While the scraggly blonde near the professor backed away in fear, afraid of both Sasuke and the professor.
While this is happening, a group of seven students watching on the bleachers were having a conversation, despite the professor's outburst. As they were worried for both the professor and their blonde friend's safety. "We have to help them!" Ruby Rose, the red themed girl quickly told the others, earning acouple of nods. "I agree with Ruby here. That shady looking dude is obviously the baddie that needs to get his ass kicked!" Yang Xiao Long, the yellow themed girl eagerly backed his younger sister's statement.
"Idiots! Didn't you see what he did to Cardin? Moreover, our weapons are at the lockers so we're practically useless right now even if we tried to help" Weiss Schnee, the white themed girl reprimanded her two teammates, all the while not tearing her gaze away from the arena. "I say we let the professor handle this herself."
"But what about Jaune? We can't leave our teammate alone!" Pyrrha Nickos, the Greek themed girl sternly replied, before standing up to approach the arena. "I agree with Pyrrha. Jaune is our leader and so is our teammate, we can't leave him alone" Lie Ren, the Chinese themed boy said, before following her teammate.
"Count me in!" Nora Valkyrie, the pink themed girl eagerly stated, while following both of her teammates to the Arena. "See Weiss, we shouldn't hesitate when it comes to saving our friend" Yang said, as she, Ruby and Blake, the black themed girl soon followed the others to the arena. "Okay fine!" Weiss replied before huffing, clearly irritated at the others for their brash judgement.
As the group of seven students neared the entrance of the arena, they quickly nodded to each other for confirmation before heading towards inside the arena. However, before they could enter, the blonde professor stopped them with her semblance, creating a purple barrier that blocked their entrance.
"I will take care of them! I promise you that… now go back and do not interfere!" she sternly commanded at them; voice filled with nothing but authority before looking back at the raven-haired teen in front of her.
The students not able to do anything, simply trusted their professor's words and stood there helplessly to watch the fight about to occur. All the while their worries and anxiety didn't disappear as Pyrrha clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, afraid for the safety of their leader.
'What is that?' Sasuke asked himself, while narrowing his eyes at the now disappearing purple barrier casted by the blonde woman. 'Is this her jutsu?' he mused, as he scoured his thoughts for a possible answer only to find none.
"Mr. Arc" he heard the professor silently said to scraggly looking blonde with the help from his enhanced hearing. "I will pull Mr. Winchester towards you. Be ready to catch him and run towards the exit" Goodwitch quietly continued, while not tearing her eyes away from Sasuke. To which the blonde teen replied with a nervous nod.
'They thought I couldn't hear them' the Uchiha thought to himself before frowning. 'That doesn't make any sense… it's a common knowledge that shinobis have enhanced hearing' he mused, all the while not really caring about their plan to retrieve the knocked-out fool behind him. For now, he'll merely observe and let them carry out their scheme.
After quite a while, the blonde woman finally made her move by pointing her riding crop towards the unconscious teen, before making a pulling gesture. Sasuke narrowed his eyes, as the same purple energy appeared at the armored teen's body before pulling and carrying him at a rapid pace towards the scraggly blonde.
Seeing the fast-approaching body, the scraggly blonde braced himself before clumsily catching Cardin with both of his hands before almost toppling down. "Quick, Mr. Arc along with team JNPR bring Mr. Cardin to the infirmary" the professor sternly ordered, while not tearing his gaze away from Sasuke.
After regaining his balance, the blonde teen rushed towards the exit, albeit with extreme difficulty as the teen he was carrying is obviously heavy. Sasuke looked as the teen soon managed to reach the exit, to where he was helped and greeted worryingly by the group of teens who tried to enter earlier.
"Don't worry, I simply knocked him out. He'll wake up an hour from now… with a bruised ego." Sasuke coolly told the blonde professor, after gazing back at her. The woman didn't reply, instead she merely narrowed his eyes at him before taking her stance and pointing her riding crop at the bottom of her feet.
Slightly confused at the gesture, Sasuke watched with slight interest as huge cracks began to form at the woman's feet. 'Doton jutsu?' he questioned himself, as multiple rocks coated with the same purple energy began to levitate from the ground at the woman's command. 'No… it's the same energy earlier again.'
Before he could continue his musing, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when the blonde pointed her riding crop at him. All the while the rocks coated with the purple energy were rapidly hurled at him. Aided by his Sharingan and quick with his feet, he easily dodged the projectiles by backflipping into the air before nimbly landing on the ground.
'I see… so her justu allows her to manipulate both people and inanimate objects. She can also use her jutsu to cast a purple barrier that can block attacks and protect her, all without hand seals too. Then in that case' the Uchiha thought, as he already figured out his best course of action.
Although, Sasuke can easily finish the fight by using his Genjutsu to knock her out, he decided against it. Rather, he chose to humor the blond first before humiliating her. He only asked her to point out their location earlier, yet she did not back down. Instead, she decided to rile him up more by pointing her weapon at him. Soon she will know that antagonizing the Uchiha is a foolish mistake, as he is someone not to be trifled with.
Sasuke then muttered "Raiton:Chidori" as his left hand was engulfed by lightning. The sound of thousand chirping birds soon filled the room, as the lightning that coats his hand pulsed violently. The reaction of the students are a mix of awe and wariness as they looked at his lightning coated hand. All the while Goodwitch merely narrowed her eyes, as she prepares to attack.
Since that he already knew that his opponent can cast a purple barrier, he chose to use a jutsu that can counter it with, the Chidori. The said one thousand birds technique was a Raiton justu invented by his former sensei, Kakashi Hatake. Due to its piercing capability, the jutsu's main purpose is to quickly assassinate foes with one hit on their vital organs. This in turn, will leave nothing but a hole the size of a fist to where it hits.
However, he doesn't plan on killing her, no. What he simply wants is to use Chidori shatter the barrier she would cast to protect herself. That way he can get close to render her unconscious with the same chakra coated fist he used earlier. An almost flawless plan, created on a whim by simply observing his opponent, such is the brilliance of Uchiha Sasuke.
Although, he's not as smart as his brother, Itachi when it comes to creating tactics that can outplay his opponents. Nonetheless, he is still a genius and on a league on his own. This blonde woman opposing him will be one of those who'll experience his tactics firsthand.
'Let's see if you can counter this' Sasuke thought, before pushing himself forward in a mad dash towards the blond, all the while chakra was applied at his feet to increase his speed. Goodwitch, slightly caught off guard by the teen's sudden move, steeled herself before sending another wave of rocks towards the rapidly approaching teen.
Unthreatened by the multiple and rapidly approaching projectiles, he quickly ducked below it as the attack passed harmlessly over his head, all the while his right hand is placed on the ground to support him. He then pushed himself forward to continue his dash towards the blond but not before looking behind him to see the attack coming back.
'Useless' Sasuke thought, as he easily jumped over the feeble attempt of the blonde to keep him in bay, before running ahead. With another leap, he landed in front of the caught off guard professor. The professor widened her eyes as she saw his left hand poised to strike, all the while pulsing with lightning.
Just as the young Uchiha predicted, the blonde casted a purple barrier as her final attempt to defend herself. However, this proved to be futile as Sasuke easily pierced through it with his Chidori before shattering like a broken glass.
Loud exclaims was soon heard throughout the room as the students who were watching were shocked at the power of teen's attack. Some of them even shouted a warning as an attempt to warn their professor of the new approaching attack.
Nevertheless, they weren't heard as Goodwitch was too shocked at what had transpired to even notice the Uchiha's chakra coated right hand quickly approaching her face, supposedly ending the fight. However, what Sasuke didn't anticipate is that another barrier will form around the blonde, protecting her from his punch.
Despite being caught off guard, the blonde was able to instinctively activate her aura due to her combat experience throughout the years. And because Sasuke's punch has a slower momentum than before, the blonde's aura actually managed to resist the blunt force, therefore protecting her, although slightly winded.
Surprised at the blonde's Aura, Sasuke quickly jumped away from the woman, landing at a safe distance while also giving his opponent time to recover. 'What was that?' Sasuke thought to himself, all the while narrowing his eyes at the woman. 'It's almost like Gaara's protective sand.'
"Professor are you alright?!" the red themed girl from earlier asked, concern evident not only on her face but also on the rest of the students. "I'm alright Ms. Rose" Goodwitch answered, after recovering from the attack. She then glared at Sasuke, as she prepared her riding crop to once again control the rocks that fell to the ground.
'I should had been more careful, he's more skilled than I thought. Nevertheless, Ozpin must had been alerted already. I just need to buy more time' Goodwitch thought to herself, as she took her stance.
'This is getting more problematic than I thought. I was hoping not to rely on Genjutsu but I guess I have no choice' Sasuke thought before staring at the blonde's eye, his Sharingan flaring, ready to end the fight once and for all.
However, before any of them could make a move, the doors to the room opened as three men walked inside. Sasuke eye's narrowed, all the while keeping a calm and stoic expression on his face as he observed the three newcomers.
The man in the middle with a cane immediately garnered Sasuke's attention as there was some kind of imposing air around him, from the way he carries himself. The man appears to be somewhere in the middle-age. He has tousled grey hair and thin brown eyes. His face bears a light complexion and sharp facial features.
Moreover, he wears shaded glass spectacles and a small purple cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants.
"Headmaster Ozpin!" Sasuke heard some of the students said. 'So, this must be their leader huh' he thought, all the while narrowing his eyes at the suspicious looking cane he holds. 'Must be some kind of weapon' he mused, before looking at the man on the left.
The man of the left is assumably the youngest of the three and not as intimidating as the Ozpin guy, nevertheless Sasuke still kept his guard high. The man has a messy green hair while his eye behind his opaque round glasses appears to be brown. His attire is disheveled: his white shirt partially tucked into his dark-green pants and its collar raised, showing a slack yellow tie, along with mismatched brown and black shoes. Moreover, he seems to carry some kind of thermos which the raven-haired teen believes to be another hidden weapon.
'Must be one of the professors here' Sasuke thought as he moved his gaze towards the final man. The man on the right appears to be in his early old age. He has gray hair and a gray mustache and appears to be slightly overweight. On top, he wears a double-breasted burgundy suit with gold piping and buttons. His pants he wears tucked into olive boots, similar in appearance and construction to cavalry boots.
Furthermore, the thing about the man that caught Sasuke's interest is the odd weapon he is holding with both of his hands. The weapon appears to be an axe that's been attached to some kind of strange horn he had never seen before in the Elemental Nations. However, before the Uchiha could continue his train of thoughts, the man he now identifies as Ozpin talked.
"That would be enough young man, Professor Goodwitch" the gray-haired man in the middle sternly told them, all the while laying his gaze at Sasuke. "But Headmaster this man barged in here unannounced and attacked one of my students!" Goodwitch retorted to the now named Ozpin, as she continues to glare at the Uchiha.
"Hn, from what I remember you're the one who insisted on attacking me" Sasuke coolly said, still expressionless even under the blonde's glare. "As for your student, it was the merely the result of defending myself."
Goodwitch hardened her glare at Sasuke before opening her mouth to reply, only to close them when Ozpin raised his left hand. The headmaster then turned to both of his companions. "Professor Port, Doctor Oobleck please dismiss the class and escort the students to the exit. Professor Goodwitch and I will take it from here" he said, as the two men nodded at his command before exiting the arena to do their tasks.
"Young man" Ozpin started, as he turned to face Sasuke again. "I need you to come with us. We'll talk at my office regarding your actions today" he continued, while the raven-haired teen suspiciously narrowed his eyes.
"And if I refuse?" he emotionlessly questioned, as the blonde professor restricted herself from talking and binding him with her semblance. 'The audacity!' she shouted in her mind, enraged at the attitude of the teen in front of her.
Ozpin slightly frowned at the Uchiha's response, before pushing his spectacles upwards with his right hand. "Please young man, you must understand. You simply appeared out of the thin air, attacked one my students and Professor Goodwitch herself. Right now, we consider you to be a threat as to why I would like to question you and clear out any misunderstanding between us."
Sasuke using his Sharingan, looked at Ozpin to spot any deceit in his words, only to find none. He then took his time to weight his options, whether he will agree at the request or not.
'It seems like following him is the best course of action… for now. I'll have to postpone my research today as my chakra is running low. It would be foolish of me to continue only to get stuck at an isolated dimension exhausted and without chakra. At least, I am back at the Elemental Nations… although I don't know where exactly' Sasuke thought as he decided to amuse the headmaster for now. Afterall, he will leave again tomorrow once his chakra is replenished, to continue his search for the Ōtsutsuki's.
"Very well" he coolly replied, before deactivating his Sharingan. Ozpin slightly smiled at his response, while Goodwitch continues to glare.
"Glad we've come to an understanding, please follow us Mr. Sasuke" Ozpin said before walking ahead towards the exit of the arena. 'Hn, so he knows me. But how come does this blonde do not?' He asked himself while frowning.
"Follow us young man" the blonde professor sternly told him with a glare before following the headmaster. 'Annoying blonde' Sasuke thought as he walked to follow the two adults towards the exit of the room.
AN: As you can see, I redid my first chapter cause after looking back at it, I noticed that its quality is terrible.
One of the changes I made is mostly adding more dialogues to make the pacing of the story better. Furthermore, I removed the part wherein Sasuke used 'killing intent' cause its cringy as fuck. I also improved the quality of his battle with Glynda and him having to use hand seals before casting Chidori. I remembered the only time Sasuke uses hand seals to cast Chidori is when he was still younger, as he grew older, he no longer has to use HS so I removed that.
To all who are wondering if Akatsuki beat Sasuke the answer is definitely no! It will be explained soon in the future chapters so be sure to wait for it!
Did you like it? Is it better? Be sure to tell me what you feel! Moving on, as I said above, I'll rewrite my first five chapters before writing chapter six, all I ask is for your patience. I promise it will be worth it. As for your reviews, I still wasn't able to read them and I'll probably reply to them when I write chapter six. Anyways that is all! As always thanks for your support!
