Huntsman's Mimicry
Well going to keep it as a crossover, end of that story.
BlackDragonShinigami: I agree to your agree
Guest: Gracias
Fao: okay I admit I made one mistake in grammar but if you are going to lecture me on grammar, get it right yourself. Different places in the world have different versions of correct grammar, so if you're going to judge my grammar, use my country's grammar because I'm the one writing the story. Not really a flame, but that is a poor tone in a review.
"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark" Ozpin motioned to a screen, with their pictures floating into a line. "You four have returned here with the two black bishop pieces, from this day forward, you will work together as team Cardinal (CRDL), led by Cardin Winchester". The audience applauded the group as Ozpin continued. "Cinder Fall, Emerald Sustrai, Mercury Black, and Naruto Uzumaki, for returning with the black king and queen pieces, you will work together from now on as team Carmine (CMNE), led by Cinder Fall."
Naruto did a two finger salute half-heartedly as his team left the stage. 'Now I can finally get on with the fun stuff of this job… sitting on my ass, in a classroom, which I may be able to take a nap in' he glanced around. 'Cinder did want me to figure out the strengths of these people, and to be honest from what I've seen only Pyrrha and Yang are my main threats… but I haven't seen the others that took out the Nevermore, it was probably just her fiery temper that I could see Yang fight'. Naruto put his hands in his pockets 'better not judge their strengths on their auras either, considering that would mean Jaune was stronger than Pyrrha'.
"Hmph" Weiss huffed as she stomped over beside him.
'Oh no, what's wrong with her? I wasn't really paying attention' Naruto groaned silently. "Hey Weiss, you alright?" he tilted over so she could hear his whispers.
"I can't believe I was not chosen as the leader, while that… brat was, she's only a child" Weiss glared at Ruby.
"Calm down, Snowflake" Naruto hummed. "You know, it can be good not being chosen as the leader".
"Really?" Weiss muttered sarcastically.
"From what I know in personal experience, yeah" Naruto shrugged. "Usually the best fighters, are never the leaders, I mean look at Pyrrha" he motioned with his head. "Probably the best fighter here… still not the leader" Naruto nudged Weiss's arm. "Just think of it like, your skills are more valuable spent fighting than leading, it's the same for me… I'm a crap leader but I sure can fight".
"Well… I guess you could look at it that way, but why… Ruby of all people? She's so childish, annoying… it's just so frustrating" Weiss complained.
Naruto rolled his eyes "probably better than a little bitch like you". He mumbled quiet enough, not to be heard. "Well Weiss… don't ask me everything, I don't have all your answers, I never made the teams" he shoved his hands in his pockets. Weiss continued her huff 'what is she doing?' Naruto's eye twitched as he felt Weiss leaning on him slightly. 'Why is she getting so close? I was trying to get rid of her'.
"Students, the future huntsmen and huntresses" everyone glanced up to see Glynda, standing on the font of the stage. "Within the coming weeks, you all will begin your training and will face adversity. This training will be with you for the next four years, and will be vital towards your future. So we, teachers, expect you to meet the standards of your position." Glynda readjusted her glasses "New students will be given dorms fitted to house each team, all of which can be found at reception, along with class schedule".
Ozpin walked up beside Glynda "as per the usual, you first years will be given an extra couple of days off, due to this being one of the first times for many to battle the Grimm. However, in the future you may not get this chance for extra rest and freedom, but I will say this. Enjoy yourselves before you get stuck in a few boring lectures" he chuckled to himself. "You're dismissed".
"Urgh… I'm getting a drink" Naruto sighed.
"A drink… really?" Weiss put a hand on her hip. "Aren't you a little yo…" she cleared her throat. "I mean, I guess I could join you" Weiss flicked her hair to the side, giving him a small smile.
'Did she just… no I definitely didn't ask her out, she definitely just assumed' Naruto tilted his head at her. "I'm surprised, someone like you drinking".
"Of course, I do… I love all types of drinks" Weiss counted her fingers as she listed off different drinks.
'Should I tell her some of them are non-alcoholic… nah, she's never had a drink in her life, probably just seen her parents drink or something'. Naruto noticed a flow of blonde hair as an arm went around his and Weiss's shoulders.
"Hello~" Yang sang out as she pushed herself between them. "I'm hearing drinks, are you two going to the club then?"
"Sure Yang… you going Weiss, nothing too strong for you, all things considered" Naruto inwardly giggled.
"Y-yeah, of course I will" Weiss spoke firmly.
"Nice… Ruby! They said they are going too" Yang yelled over as a red blur of petals appeared before them.
"They are?" Ruby hummed. "Well I don't know, I'm not really good with crowds… and I can't dance" she poked her fingers together nervously.
"Is that all?" Yang moved forward, grabbing Ruby in a hug.
"Yang, let go" Ruby squirmed out of the blonde's grip.
"You'll have nothing to worry about, Naruto can show you how to dance" Yang nudged Ruby's arm. Naruto raised an eyebrow as Ruby dragged Yang back, as they exchanged whispers with each other. "Sorry about that" Yang scratched the back of her head.
"Right..?" Naruto hummed.
"Um… you guys" Blake sighed with enthusiasm. "Shouldn't we find our dorms before you all get wasted".
"Fair point Blake, guess I'll see you after" Naruto spun out of the group, heading for the only green and silver haired duo. "So, what's on the agenda?" Naruto yawned in boredom.
"Nothing you need to concern yourself with" Cinder spoke softly behind him. "Have you learned what I asked you for?"
"Mostly, I could probably put everyone here into a ranking of power, with anyone who could be a noticeable threat" Naruto glanced at Cinder with a cold look.
"And I see they have opened up to you, very well done Naruto~" Cinder mocked as she stroked his cheek. "Roman has got your first payment… I'm sure that won't be an issue" Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"No, it won't… have anything else for me to do, Ma-am~?" Naruto grumbled.
"Lose the attitude… but I do have a job for you" Cinder's eyes glowed. "Regarding your alias… Kurama, was it?"
Naruto tensed slightly 'she knows way too much about me… only Neo knows about my alias, and it's not like she can run her mouth'. He nodded, taking note of Cinder's sly smirk "that's right…"
…
"So, you're sure you don't want to come Merc?" Naruto asked, laid back on his bed holding the scroll above his face. "If you came, it would still be like three girls to one guy" he dully stated, more focused on his scroll.
"Nah, not my scene" Mercury laid in the bed opposite Naruto, playing a game on his scroll.
"Fair enough… not like you need to play or have any need when you got that" Naruto motioned to Emerald with his feet, but ended up pointing to Cinder.
"Dude… really?" Mercury threw a pillow at him.
"Nah" Naruto just backhanded the pillow to the floor. "Sorry, just a bit distracted by all these chats".
"Really" Emerald snatched Naruto's scroll as he just groaned in annoyance. "Hey who's Melted Cream? And Snow Drip?" she hummed scrolling through his scroll.
"Secrets Emerald, secrets" Naruto snatched his scroll back.
"Hey, what's my name in there?" Mercury asked, not really bothered.
"Err… Rusty I think, not thought of one for Emerald yet and blowtorch for the lovely Cinder" Naruto ruffled up his hair to give himself a wild look. "How do I look by the way?" Naruto turned his body to Emerald. Naruto wore a plain orange buttoned shirt left untucked and the top three buttons undone, a silver fox head necklace. As well as slightly baggy black pants and trainers.
"Well… edgy teen comes to mind" Emerald shrugged.
"I can work with that, believe it" Naruto winked. "Oh and Emerald, don't take my things again" he plucked behind her, taking a wallet in his hand. "I was raised by a professional after all… also when you take things, make sure they actually have money in them" Naruto showed her the empty wallet. A knock on the door halted Naruto, glancing between Emerald and the door, Naruto clicked his tongue. "Well… that's my cue" Naruto bolted out the door, making even Cinder sigh.
…
"Um… is this… the place?" Jaune nervously pointed to the club entrance. While the group, consisting of Jaune, Pyrrha, Naruto and team RWBY stood outside the club.
"Yeah! Come on!" Yang cheered, physically dragging an unenthusiastic Blake inside.
"I'm not so sure anymore" Ruby peered at the entrance from behind Naruto.
"Just live for a bit, Sis… you're supposed to make your mistakes in your teens" Yang grinned.
"Fine" Ruby stepped away from behind Naruto.
"You alright, Rubes?" Naruto raised an eyebrow as Ruby glanced around rapidly. "Ruby?" he asked.
In a blur of red, Ruby latched herself on Naruto's arm "yeah I'm okay… it's just… I'm not good with people".
"Me neither" Naruto glanced to his other arm to see Jaune latched on.
Naruto twitched at Jaune but blinked as he saw Pyrrha deflate slightly. Making eye contact to get the red head's attention. He pointed to himself getting no reaction, before he pointed at Jaune, getting slightly widened eyes. Naruto nodded in understanding. "Hey Jaune, be a gentleman and help your teammate go in the club" he shoved the blond off him and into Pyrrha's arms. "We better get after Yang before she gets annoyed".
"Very well…" Weiss hooked her arm in Naruto's, dragging himself and Ruby along.
…
"Come on Yang"
"Naruto, beat her already"
"Done!" Naruto slammed a shot glass down on the bar. "20 shots, 5 seconds… I am on point today" he patted Yang's back. "Junior… she's paying for these" Yang groaned in annoyance as she fished the money out.
"You people are insane" Weiss hiccupped, a blush spread across her face.
"I know, they are so cool… I could never do that" Ruby giggled. "Wanna dance now?" Ruby hummed, the drinks already broken her nervous shell. "Come on~!" she dragged Naruto down to the dance floor.
"Like you can dance, this is your first time to a club" Naruto hummed.
"Yang told me everything, all you need to do is shake" Ruby shook side to side.
"Alright, I'll take your word for it" Naruto put his arms around her waist. "But maybe I'll have to teach you a bit" he leaned down placing his forehead on hers, silver eyes looking into blue eyes.
"What are you going to teach me?" Ruby pressed up against him unintentionally as she moved her face closer.
"Well there are a few things…" Naruto inched closer, stopping with the slightest gap between their lips. Both of them paused with small hesitation but Naruto shook his head. "Things probably better in a sober mind… especially for your first time Ruby, also you're a bit of a squirt right now" Naruto backed his head away.
"I am not a squirt" Ruby stuck her tongue out.
"Aww~ aren't you two getting along~" Yang came up behind Naruto, giving him and Ruby a stretched hug. "I'm feeling left out here" she pouted. "I want to dance and you two are the only ones dancing, and you're doing it by yourselves".
"Uhh… sister sandwich" Naruto hummed.
"Oh? Feeling lucky?" Yang hushed.
"Um you two" Ruby pointed over to the group table. "They're trying to call us over".
"Fine..!" Yang complained, as all three of them moved back. "What's up".
"Well we're thinking of going back to the dorms now" Pyrrha smiled, as Jaune lay passed out with his head on her lap and Weiss passed out, leaning on her shoulder. "We just wanted to tell you in case, you wanted to come or stay".
"Oh…" Naruto slumped down into the booth. "You leaving too Blake?" he nudged her to get her attention, like any drunk would.
"Yes…" Blake sighed, as she was reading a small book.
"Why you reading in a club?" Naruto rested his head on Blake's shoulder.
Blake twitched giving an annoyed look at Naruto. "I don't drink, and I am not going to dance in a shady club" she flipped the page in her book.
"Then how about we get a bite to eat in a reading café?" Naruto hummed.
"Hmmm… no" Blake sighed. "I don't date drunks, nor are you my type".
"Welp, I know when I aren't wanted" Naruto sat up.
"You guys are party poopers, let's dance the night away" Yang motioned towards the dancefloor. Naruto jumped up beside the fellow blonde, giving her a high five. "Yes Naruto, anyone else".
"Sorry Yang, I'm a bit tired" Ruby hid her yawn with her hand.
Naruto hummed "hey Yang, you still want to dance? It will just be us".
Yang shrugged "sure, see the rest of you later". She grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled Naruto down to the dancefloor. "Amateurs…" she turned round, grinding up against him.
"You're awfully forward, you know that right?" Naruto slid his hand up her thigh.
"Hey, you were the one giving all those hints… I caught you giving me some looks, and I liked what I saw, so…" Yang gripped his collar. Naruto was jerked forward by Yang's tug, with no hesitation on her part, their lips met. It took a few seconds for Naruto to realise the tongue, that entered his mouth. Inwardly he shrugged, kissing back while his arms embraced her closer, too drunk to give a damn.
(Omake)
"Rasengan!" the roof of the train carriage burst outwards, sending shrapnel in its wake. Jumping through the hole, Neo rolled catching a hook in the train with her umbrella. Adam flew up past the hole, landing in a thud. Next came Naruto, who simply reached up and climbed out. "Alright, Neo you know the plan… Adam, we need to stall until the next mountain overpass. We have some guys there that will pick us up… you know how to fight?"
"Yeah… well basics, my dad taught-" Adam stopped as Naruto threw his sheathed sword in Adam's direction.
"Whatever, it's a sturdy sword and the sheath flips into a shotgun… not too difficult to use, shotgun's got little recoil but it might take a while to get used to it, you take out the fodder" Naruto hummed. "You better not lose that sword either, got it?"
"Yes sir" Adam quickly snapped his reply.
Naruto glanced sharply at Neo. A couple of moments went by as the two stared at each other, before they nodded at each other. "Grrrraaaghh!" both turned their heads to the sight of a Grimm, twice their size and made of pure ice. "Neo… how did that type of Grimm make it on to a train, and why is it made of ice?" Neo shrugged, with an uncaring look plastered on her face. The girl tilted her body to the side and tapped her umbrella on the ground. "Hm?" Naruto glanced to the side like Neo. "Well, well, if it isn't the Schnee Heiress".
"Die you bitch!" Adam screeched, taking shots at the ice Grimm with the shotgun.
"At least he has spirit" Neo turned her head giving Naruto a dull look. "Yes I know a shotgun isn't going to do shit at that range… yep, I know".
"So you three were thieves this whole time?" Winter walked to the side of the ice Grimm, a sour scowl shown on her face. "Father should have known hiring vagabonds would only lead to disaster" she unsheathed her sabre.
"Yes… your father should have remembered after the last time he hired us lowly Faunus to do his dirty work" Naruto smirked. "And he better add sweet looking girls to that 'do not hire' list, or Neo here might get a little crazy" Neo blinked innocently, as she pointed to herself. "Also… my little buddy, Adam here, is not really a thief… wouldn't call him a good guy but I guess Jacque could also fit into that category" Naruto mocked.
Winter frowned "I do not care about your agenda however, if you surrender yourselves, I will personally make sure you reach your cells, unharmed".
Neo tapped Naruto on the shoulder to get his attention. "That seems kind of pointless… but it is an interest question" he clicked his tongue. "So Winter… how many people actually give up, when you say that? Sorry, Neo just gets a bit curious". Winter dead panned "right…" Naruto hummed.
"This is your last chance… surrender or be taken down by force" Winter demanded.
"You, against the three of us" Naruto chuckled. "Let's forget all those useless workers you have, because let's be honest… it's not going to matter how many of them, there are".
"She's not alone" Naruto's smirk switched to a sneer. A ponytailed man giggled as he pounced beside the Schnee heiress. "Ohoho~ two little wittle children, how exciting this must be" the man's grin and eyes continued to grow wider.
Winter sighed "Tyrian, compose yourself… you are on your final warning". Tyrian faked a bashful look at Winter before twisting his head back laughing.
"So Neo… you want the mad boy or Ms tighty whitey?" Neo shrugged. "Want to do 'Triple Maelstrom'?" Naruto charged up his generator, then sprinted forward. Neo followed him, hiding straight in his shadow.
"Ehehe~" Tyrian chuckled as the Ice Grimm began bundling forward.
"Neo… 'Chocolate Maelstrom'" Naruto hushed. Neo hopped up onto Naruto's shoulders in a crouching position. Reaching 15 feet of the ice Grimm, Neo leaped up in the air, while Naruto went down to slide on his knees. Winter gritted her teeth as she tried to move the ice Grimm faster but Neo managed to whack its head twice before it could react. Combined with Naruto sliding between the Grimm's legs, bashing them as he went past, the ice Grimm tumbled onto it's face. Sliding to a stop, Naruto raised his hands upwards. Not having to look up, Neo landed on his hands, before he tossed her back above the Grimm. Forcing the umbrella down, a blade popped out from the umbrella tip, piercing the Grimm's dome, destroying it. Naruto glanced backwards as Neo gave him a wordless statement.
"Hehe, What a shame~" Tyrian clapped his hands together, all giddy.
"Tyrian… take them down" Winter demanded. Tyrian continued laughing, his wrist blades expanding into pincer shapes.
"Neo, 'Vanilla Maelstrom'" Neo hopped on his shoulders again. Unlike last time, she wrapped her legs loosely around his neck. Smirking, Neo fell sideways, hanging upside down on Naruto, using her small stature to her full advantage. Naruto on the other hand, extended his arms out wide as two large Rasengans formed in his palms. "Get ready Neo" Naruto squinted his eyes as Tyrian began to sprint at them.
"Gahaha" Tyrian pounced in a spin.
"Now" Naruto glanced to the side to see the Rasengan taking a shuriken shape. Neo lifted herself up before dragging herself and Naruto down. Being fully pulled down in what could only be described as a two person handstand, Neo flipped, throwing Naruto in the air. "Rasenshuriken" Naruto hurled one, straight at Winter as he flew through the air. Winter flipped her sword around, as a glyph appeared under her feet.
"Hmph" the glyph bounced Winter into the air, as another glyph appeared in the air. Taking another bounce off the new glyph, Winter avoided the Rasenshuriken and shot herself towards Naruto. Winter took a slice at Naruto before he could throw the second. "What?" she blinked in confusion as Naruto shattered like glass.
"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as he appeared in the air next to Winter, shoving a spinning dust ball into the side of her ribs. Winter bit her lip to stop herself from making any noise of pain. The force sent Winter flying over the side of the train. She gritted her teeth as more Glyphs appeared, a double layered Glyph under her and several glyphs around where Naruto was falling. "Shit…" was all he could mutter as Winter shot towards him, while he was unable to dodge yet. Winter bounced up onto the train, going between each of her Glyphs, slicing Naruto up like a shredder. Before she tackled Naruto to the ground, taking out her duelling knife from her sabre and bringing it down.
"Surrender… now!" Winter narrowed her eyes. Naruto had grabbed her wrist to stop himself from being stabbed but was now pinned down by her. "If you do not give up, your partner may not be so lucky… Tyrian is not one to take prisoners". Naruto glanced down the train to see Neo and Tyrian trading blows. The latter showing to have the advantage in experience and heaviness of blows. Naruto flinched as he saw Neo was covered in light bruises but smiled noticing a large cross shaped cut on Tyrian's chest, nothing fatal but he guessed it would leave a scar. Naruto glanced back at Winter, looking past her with a smirk.
"Your just like your father…" Naruto chuffed. "No… you're not… are you?" Naruto chuckled lightly. "Joining the military… becoming a huntress… tell me something" Winter glared silently at him as she continued to try press her blade into him. "Do you think good old Jacque will allow you to continue down this path? He has killed many faunus in his company's name, treated workers like slaves… let's be honest Winter, are you really going to become a soldier or an heiress?"
"What are you getting at?" she snapped.
"Nothing really, just 'Strawberry Maelstrom'" Naruto called out.
"What!?" Winter changed her attention towards Neo. The girl cockily smirked, spinning on her heels, Neo ducked under Tyrian's blades and sprinted towards Naruto.
"Times up" Naruto let Winter's wrist go, allowing her blade to penetrate his shoulder. In that moment with his free hand, Naruto grabbed the back of Winter's head. Using the unbalance she was currently feeling, Naruto slammed her head down on the train and shoved her off him. "Neo!?" Naruto raised his hand, grabbing a handle of an umbrella as Neo past him. With little effort, Neo threw Naruto to his feet and gave him a look. Naruto glanced back noticing Tyrian on their tails "oh?" He gave her a look and a nod. Neo passed her umbrella to Naruto and took the cane, they stole for Roman out, taking a shot from the cane, the explosions from the dust flare stopping Tyrian. "Neo, come on" Neo nodded shooting another flare upwards before jumping on Naruto tightly. "Hey Adam…" the red head faunus turned his head after cutting another Schnee worker down. "Keep the sword… we're out" Naruto winked as he leaped off the side of the train, opening the umbrella. "See you later chumps" he yelled, as the speed of the train holstered the open umbrella up into the air.
"Woohoo!" Naruto screamed as the duo reached their highest point. "Um, Neo…" Naruto looked down as the girl looked up at him. "I know this umbrella is special but… we're a bit too big to do this, now" a creaking noise started up. Neo internally groaned as the umbrella flipped the wrong way, dropping the duo to the ground. A full 10 feet, onto the side of the train tracks. "Oww! Knife… still in… shoulder" Naruto yelped as they remained lying on the ground dazed. "Let's never use that umbrella escape again… urgh"
